The Old Elementary School
Sara H.

I interviewed Shelley Brawley and she told me about the old Elementary School Building that she went to when she was little. And this is what she said... I move to Comanche in 1978. I remember going to Elementary School where the kids go today, but it was a little different. We had what we called "wings". The Elementary had two wings or extensions to the building. One wing was where the Primary play ground is now and the other wing was just in front of the old lunchroom (where the parking lot is now-where Mr. Kelly Parks.) We had classes on the wing, 2nd, 5th, and special classes. And I remember one distinct thing- the water cooler air conditioners. I also remember we had an 8th grade graduation. We had this in the old lunchroom which has now been turned into a teachers lounge, workroom, conference room, and early childhood room. Ms. Carruth-the principal now-was a 5th grade teacher at that time.
