I was 4 years ahead of you and I learned to square dance in 4th and 5th grade, only it was Mrs. Ford (4th) and Mr. Adams (5th) who were my teachers. Did you have the store in 5th grade and sell boondogle to the kids during recess and after school? That was the best part of being in Mr. Adams 5th grade when I was there. Also I remember that he had us take an imaginary trip around the world for social studies, writting, and math. We had to keep a journal and figure out mileages and times and describe things about the countries and places we visited. I thought that was so much fun. I also loved playing ball and was a good hitter but I couldn't catch the ball no matter how hard I tried...I think I was scared to death that it would hurt. Why didn't we have some gloves? I'm pretty sure I didn't have as many scratches and scrapes as you did, though. My worst experience was in 2nd grade when i ran all over the school grounds writing, I love MacNeil Boyter on the sidewalk with chalk. We had a substitute teacher that day and MacNeil went and told her what I had done and I got in trouble and she made me try to clean up everywhere I had written it. I'm sure i would never had done such a mean thing if Mrs. Luke had been there that day because I loved her so much that I never wanted to be disobedient. I just wanted to be teacher's pet all the time! Do you remember playing "Mother May I?" on the steps of the old College Ward Building while we were waiting for Primary to start? That was my favorite part of primary way back then. Gosh, you have my memory banks overloaded today. Thanks. Sounds like school didn’t change much in Cedar city, no matter when you went!.
