Throwback Thursday: First Day of School in 1947

Throwback Thursday.  This picture was taken in early September 1947 in our front yard on the corner of Wayland and Waddell Streets in the Clay Homes.   We are suppose to be looking gloomy because it is the first day of school.

It was my very first day of school.  I went to the first grade that year.

Left to right:  Jeane Steele, Billy Somebody (who later moved to Gramling Street),  Eddie Hunter (that's me), Frances Hunter,  and Helen Steele.

After that school year, the next summer we moved in my grandfather, but we still went to the same shool (Waterman Street School).
