Here is Miss Miner's 2nd grade class at Witherspoon Elementary School. We stayed with her through 4th grade, part of a new educational theory. I guess it worked, for just look at us now! Double click on photo to enlarge.

Sure, we do sorta look like Dickensian kids out of “Oliver Twist” in the 2nd grade over on the "poor side of town". I don't remember a May Day celebration at Witherspoon. But, in our class, Janie Miner was our only teacher for grades 2, 3 and 4. In those small teams she formed, we learned an awfully lot about the world and about our little selves... notwithstanding our side of the tracks.
I think I wore out my first pair of shoes from the inside because of all the calluses built up from going barefooted just like several of the children in our picture.
Janie Miner, at Witherspoon, Cora Morton, at Kate Griffin and Marguerite Jenkins, at MHS were those teachers who had a profound impact... by helping me discover who I was.
MA, you did a great job with the photos to make them enlarge with the click. Good work.
