Throwback Thursday

 There have been some vintage school photos made available lately

First up:  This is a photo provided by Marilyn Freeman Wright, class of 1954, of her first day of school at the Gaines District 4 Cobblestone schoolhouse located at the corner of Ridge Road and route 237. At one time, the Chatterbox restaurant was on that corner and this cobblestone schoolhouse was behind it. Now, there is nothing on the corner, so the schoolhouse is more visible – a motorcycle club currently occupies the building.  BLOGGERS NOTE: Marilyn is the mother of AHS Alumni Foundation Blogger, Kim Wright Pritt! 

Marilyn is the one with the white dress in the front center of the photo.

She couldn’t remember all the names, but here are some of the children pictured (not in order):

Teachers – Elsie Good and Jennie Henderson

Marilyn Freeman, Hazel Woolson, Glenn Woolston, Lee Woolston, Dick Appleton, Doris Perry,
