Went to Washington for first grade ’55/’56 then went to Campster school for three years before coming back to Jefferson. Class of ’67! Chuck “Corky” Kennamer is my cousin and neither one of us knew about the other until high school. Tell him I said “Hey!”

I went to Washington from kindergarden thru sixth grade. ’55-’62. I then went to May Greene. I wiil always remember the day JFK died. I was playing ball and the teachers ushered us in to the school and sent us home. At Washington, there was a strikingly beautiful redhead ist grade teacher named….? Do anyone remembers her and her name and what became of her??

I love the pictures from those years…most of the people in this picture were classmates of mine in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, but Cape did a redistricting plan and several in my neighborhood moved to Franklin School in 4th grade. Some did get back together in Jr High and High School, though.
Thanks for the photos!

Hi Kenny,
Sondra Cook is correct about he picture of the Washington School Queen crowning is Hope Davis Peterman’s sister, Allison “Jinx” Davis. She now lives in Memphis. Thanks for publishing all of this once again. They did look a lot alike. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Ken, your photo captioned Hope Davis is actually her younger sister Alison (or Jinx as we all knew her).

Both my mother and I attended Washington Elementary. Such a sad thing to see it demolished.
