I clearly remember school being dismissed the afternoon President Kennedy was assassinated. Found this post while looking for Art Deco buildings in Vicksburg. Now I know it is Art Moderne style. Such a well built building allowed to deteriorate. Thanks for posting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963033671746343782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418200345166548412.post-4203387346100869552019-07-08T20:58:07.153-07:002019-07-08T20:58:07.153-07:00My Dad graduated from here when it was a high scho...My Dad graduated from here when it was a high school, maybe somewhere around 1954-55. It was a grand building at one time.

There was a TV mounted on the back wall, left of the chalkboard. It was on that TV that we watched the Challenger explode. My teacher’s name was Ms. Duncan. We also had a teacher’s aide named Ms. Sessions. Once a week, we had to get flouride treatments in the back of the classroom (guessing the municipal water supply didn’t contain fluoride?). I remember us having an early morning milk break, where we would walk to the cafteria just to drink milk. Then at lunch time, the cafeteria served catfish and pizza most every day. I remember there were lots of lizards in the playground area. I loved living in Vicksburg. My little brother was born there. The summer after first grade, my family moved to Fort Worth, Texas. I gave my pet fish to Ms. Duncan before we left.Mini_Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255232957632666592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418200345166548412.post-82210411466445086212017-11-02T17:21:48.034-07:002017-11-02T17:21:48.034-07:00Thanks for the trip down memory lane....Thanks for the trip down memory lane....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738558590317547822noreply@blogger.com
