The elementary school was where the new gym is now. There used to not be a new gym at all. The school had three floors. The first floor had bathrooms and a stair case. The second floor had a classroom that had all wood floors. The third floor was a classroom that had desks bolted to the floor. This building had the first through sixth grade in it. We had a two shift school system. One shift was from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the second shift was from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We had a special assembly for the elementary school every six weeks in the gym, it cost a nickel to get in. The older kids would put on shows for the younger ones.
