First thing I noticed was the "White Bucks". You can see how dirty they look. No doubt they were probably all powdered up nicely before the start of school, but as the day wore on they deteriorated in looks. This may very well have been prior to noon, as lots of girls (at least when I went to Wy'east) took their powder bags with them and did their shoes at noon. Also note the fad at the time was basically to roll your sock tops and always girls wore white socks.

Note the length of the skirts......This was before the advent of "leotards", which we could wear under skirts/dresses as they were more or less like the leggings of this era, only they had feet in them like panty hose, but heavier. Oh so wonderful standing on a cold winters day waiting for that bus............

The girl in the white blouse had the last name of Sharkey, but right off the top of my head I can't recall her first name.

Wrong answer for equation #4. Should be 15.

How many of you were filled with fear that that very thing would happen to you - work on the board and get the wrong answer in front of everybody?

Schools & school dress seem to be the same coast to coast, yes even Ohio. These girls could just as easily clapped the eraser on their white bucks. LOL I tried to avoid the “black board” procedure as best I could.

I wish you could show us a photo of the Punchbowl taken from the roadside on the east. There used to be some kind of gas station or convenience store. In the '40s some people called Nackos owned or at least operated it . They went to the Mormon church, and
So did we. My dad used to drive us out there to say howdy and to look over the edge at the dark and roiling pool, with the salmon desperately swimming up the waterfall. That would have been a great place to live and work, with the river roaring right beside the house. We lost touch with the Nackoses when they moved away, but Mormons always find somebody wo knows somebody you know, or one of their relatives, or they know somebody who knows YOUR relatives, so I discovered that one of the Nackos sons has become a famous artist. Famous in Utah, anyway. One of his works hangs in the intermodal hub, where trains, Greyhound buses, and city buses exchange their passengers. His name is Frank Nackos and he ought to be around 80 now. Somebody who sees this site must have gone tonschool with him. I think he was one of twins. He had a little sister. named Lila.
