Mrs. Lilly Peyton of Washington occupies one of these apartments. and she remember' when she started in school there.
“This school was here as long as I can remember...I know my older sisters went here,” Peyton said. She started when she was six, 57 years ago, and remembers that there was “no nonsense” in those days.
“Annie Green taught here," she said. "If someone didn’t learn, it was not because of her lack of teaching.” Peyton remembers Mrs. Green as a fair but firm disciplinarian. “She had to keep order • there w ere only two rooms with four grades in each of the rooms. Sometimes there would be fights, awful fights, but she just jumped right in and stopped them." Peyton said that one of her brothers was “always fighting or starting fights.”
