FAREWELL OPEN HOUSE EDISON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL


	FAREWELL OPEN HOUSE EDISON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL May 30, 1991

	The public was invited to say goodbye to a gallant school on May 30, 1991. It was the final day for former students, teachers and staff to walk the halls and visit the classrooms that provided a quality education and provided so many memories for more than fifty years. These are some of the last photos to be taken of Edison School. They were submitted by Lois Fredericks


	Main entry at Edison School. Farewell Open House - May 30, 1991

	Hallway lockers on the second floor for 4th, 5th and 6th grade students.

	Edison Gymnasium on the second floor, looking west toward girl's half of the gym. A dividing wall has been removed. This was also the dance floor for Stugen and other school dances. Basketball and other athletic events always drew a crowd (mostly of parents).

	Rear of a classroom for 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade. Our coats hung behind the swivel blackboards. When you got to 4th grade on the second floor, you got a locker!

	Front of a classroom of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade class. Built-in cabinet held dictionaries, encyclopedias, paper, paste and supplies. "Class Rules" on the blackboard include instructions for orderly students: Work Quietly, Be Polite, Raise Your Hand, Be Prepared, Stay Seated... successful rules for the brighter student.

	Kindergarten Room at Edison School... Ed and Edward pause to reflect on childhood memories.

	What is left of the library on the third floor. Curved check-out desk has been removed and all of the books are gone.

	Leaving Edison School for the last time... Carolyn, who attended her first class at Edison Kindergarten in 1937, bids farewell. The school was torn down in 1991.
