In 7th and/or 8th grade (it's hard to remember all those years ago) I use to go home with Patti at lunch time. Her dad lived in a white house next to the church. For the first 8 years of grade school we were all in the same classroom for all subjects: Math, Reading, Music, Phy-Ed, Art, English. We started each day out with attending mass every day of the week. We then went back to the school where we all recited
"The Pledge of Allegiance".
The school put on a "Talent Show" that some were chosen to perform in while some of us were the audience.
Once a year, prior to Thanksgiving, the school held a fund raiser with a cake walk, fish pond, bingo etc. and a dinner down in the Hall. The prizes for bingo were a turkey.
