Elementary & early years

Compliments of Robert Derrick - Ice Storm 1950

Mr. Mason a neighbor on left, Robert's dad to right and of course sweet little Robert standing in front of the house his dad built.

 

Per Robert - "We are in front of  the house he was building on Milwee St that I grew up in. Notice how rural the area was. Milwee is  just south of Mangum Manor. This might have been before Mangum Manor was built.  Dont't remember much, I was about 4.

There was a sign on the outfield wall that I've always remembered and it said, " No man stands taller than he who stoops to help a child ". Truer words were never spoken.

Compliments of Teddie Jordan - Oak Forest Mid-Termers

 1957/58 - 6th Grade Mrs. Wommack

From Teddie Jordan - I have run across a class photo from our sixth grade " midtermer " class at

Oak Forest Elementary and I thought maybe it would brighten some spirits. You will recognize quite

 a few names if not their faces and it is amazing to me looking back at how many of us went all the way

 through together. 

 

I know you'll probably want to put it in the " Guess Who "  section and that's a good place for it but

just for the record the following is most of the names:

 

Frnt row, L-R - Pam Morgan,  Bobby Chroceron, Harold Wann, ( I already sent it to him and his

comment was " Why Oh why did they have to put me in the front row ? I told him it was because he

 was such a sharp dresser ), Doyle Welsh

 

2nd row, L-R- Sara Huntley, Barbara McKee, Sharon  ? , Janet   ? , Sherry Luster, Girl   ? , Jackie Waneck, Lynell Carapezza, Jane Rhodes

 

3rd row, L-R- Carl Sorenson, Patricia Shutte, Elvis, Doug McCuen, Bobby Elskes, Dennis Dorsey,

Jimmy Devore, David Acree,

 

Top row, L-R- David Keonig, Lloyd Grissom, Linda Kellogg, Rod King, Tommy Jatzlau, Chester Hyde,

Mary Randall, Janie Hartman, Eloise Denny

 

The man teacher I believe is Mr.  Carlilse and the lady must be sweet Mrs. Wommack, but she sure

doesn't look like I remember her. Another mystery is the absence of Helen Halbkat who was always in our

class but is not in the picture. Hopefully someone will know the answer to both of these.
