When I was in 8th grade the one room school we all walked to was closed.

Two miles was the greatest distance any students walked.

Then we were bussed for 2 hours round trip.

Kids on the other side of town and some other parts of the district rode 4 hours a day on the busses.

That was in good weather.

If it was closed, why did you go?

I went to ONE ROOM SCHOOL-—1/2 mile from our driveway.

THE HIGH SCHOOL bus did the same route—AM & PM.

FIRST kids picked up in AM were FIRST kids dropped off in PM.

DON’T REMEMBER THE LENGTH OF THE ROUTE, But WE were 3rd from last for pickup-—and 3rd from last for drop off.

NO CAFETERIA in HS. Packed PB &J sandwiches all thru high school. 4 kids==a whole loaf of Wonder bread EVERY SCHOOL DAY.

HS had a dispenser where you could get 8 OZ of cold milk for a nickle.

WOULD NOT TRADE THAT EDUCATION FOR ANYTHING TODAY.

Those kids will grow up with a hatred of mass transit.
