As assigned by Sister Johnson in personal history class at FamilySearch Center 2/28/24, I wrote a memory of school activity. Discarding the handwritten scrap today, I decided to transcribe and post it for future digital reference. ( I’ve done that with a few other scraps of paper since 2010.)
Lowell Elementary, where my father began his education, had huge playgrounds. As a student there, I joined small groups of friends playing hopscotch, marbles, and baseball. Bryant Junior High School and East High School were different. I don’t recall seeing any playgrounds or sports at Bryant. At East High, of course, I watched the amazing athletes and cheerleaders on the football field and basketball court. I was lucky to count some of them as friends.
As a serious student, I was more into math and music — another story to write.
