Hello, I was in the 53-54 State Street class picture and thought I could ID most! I dug out my freshman Log, which was 1956 and that didn't help! The first unknown in row 1; I believe his first name is Jimmy. Connie Shafer might be the 2nd unknown in row 1 or the first unknown in row 3. I also believe Betty was the first name of the 1st girl in row 2. I believe Margaret is the first name of the second unknown girl in row 2.
In the other class postings have you noticed the number of us who wore high top shoes, bibs and all of the girls are wearing dresses? I believe my high top shoes came from A. Tross.

I had Mr Freese as a 5th grade teacher his first year at Clifty elementry school and he told us all about State Street School which I attended the next year in 6th grade and we left State Street school mid year for the new Fodrea Elementry that was buildt to replace State Street back in 1973 I believe. Mr Freese was the best teacher I had ever had in all my years of education. There was a picture of Mr. Freese in the Republic in 1980 showing him reading a graduation invitation I sent him for my high school graduation and Mr. Freese retired in 1980 and they did an article on him in the paper. I have thought about Mr. Freese many many times over the years as he was such a special person to me in my life even though I only got to know him for that 1 short year back in 1972. I will find the picture from the 1980 republic of Mr. Freese and scan it for here soon.

Hello Tim I am sure my dad would be thrilled to read what you wrote about him. He was a very good teacher, though pretty tough on the kids. He wanted so much for everyone to learn all they could. To this day ( and yes, he is still alive at 92 years old), he talks about his students and how much he misses all of them. He loved to teach and even now continues to "lecture" anyone who will listen from time to time. Thanks again for the kind words. Babs

Babs! I didn't realize your dad is Mr. Freese! I had him in the 5th Grade. The year was 1962-63. I didn't stick out in the class, as I never excelled at much, nor did I go the other way and get into any trouble. I know your dad won't remember me, but please, tell him thanks...from a prior student. He definitely left his mark on me...

David, I will surely tell my dad about your comments and Tim's as well. He is in fair health for one who is 92 and as I said "still teaching" to anyone who will give him a few minutes. He "left his mark" on many students and that is his legacy. He has told my brother and me that as a child he would cry when school was over for the year, so he knew early on that he wanted to be a teacher. I guess it was in his blood from early on. To think a small child would be happiest in school is rather hard to believe with all the things that go on in school anymore. He will spend hours sorting through "his kids' school pictures" and yes, he kept them all. You never know he may remember you, David. Thanks again for your comment.

Babs, if you could borrow your dad's picture of that 5th grade class (1962-63 school year), and scan it for me, I would love to have a copy of it. It seems the only class picture I have from State Street is of my 2nd grade class. Thank You!

L. D. Slinker is my older brother Larry. It's pretty neat to see his 7th grade photo. Ill have to email him and tell him about this place. Also recognize quite a few of the other kids. Also nice to Mr. Breeden. He was a great man.

The swings that are in this picture were surely added after my brother and I attended State Street (East Columbus as it was called when we attended.) I asked both my brother and my dad yesterday "what kind of playground equipment we had" and was told by both...just the "dirt playground" and a "basketball hoop".

Thanks Richard for posting pictures of both Richard and Cortes Perry. In case anyone is wondering, Bob Kellogg had mentioned Cortes in the high school, class of 1952 post...and I remembered I had these pictures from my first or second year at East Columbus School.
I did not know that Cortes had died till I read Bob's post; also never knew he had not married.

I would love to see more class pictures from State Street School 1957-1961. Did anyone have Miss Hazel for first grade? or Mr Foist for 6th?

In regard to your question about 'Miss Hazel.'.............I was/am only aware of 'one Miss Hazel,' last name Fodrea, in town teaching. Check out the Garfield School thread and see it this is the teacher that you recall. She is in several photos posted there. Altho' I moved in 1952 and perhaps she did go on to State Street School to teach. Nanc

Thanks Nancs, Yes, thats her. It was funny to read about the big paddle because Miss Hazel gave me a whack on the bottom with hers. I guess I wasn't off to a good start in First Grade. She drove a big old Burgundy car. I think it was a late 1940's Plymouth. I passed 1st grade so I guess she was a pretty good teacher. She definitely made an impression in more ways than one.

I went to State Street for kindergarten-3rd grade. The middle of my 3rd grade year we moved to Fodrea. Some of the teachers I remember were Miss Robinson, Miss Clark, Mrs Everret. When I was in the 2nd grade I remember walking to the site of Fodrea school for the groundbreaking ceremony. Each class carried a sign and stood where our classroom would be.
I remember going to school with a Tony Ault who lived behind the Jay C store. I was wondering if the Tim who has posted is related.
My husband had Mr. Freese for math at Clifty school. He remembers a time when he was doing a math problem on the board and he was not making his 8' correctly. He was making two circles and Mr. Freese showed him the correct way to make them. Even today, he thinks about it when he makes an eight.

Hello "atsmom" and welcome to the boards.
Just fyi: Mr. Freese is still alive, at 95 he is not as spry as one would hope but he is still pretty feisty for an old timer! He still lives alone, and is very independent. He taught at State Street or what we called when we went there East Columbus before it was taken into the city. After State Street he went on to teach at Clifty and still to this day he likes to "teach" any and all who will listen and I will have to ask him about the making of an "eight" and see if he remembers. :-)
Also in reading some previous posts I notice Miss Hazel's name mentioned. (I'm going to make a correction to my previous post at this point.) I said before I never knew she taught at State Street, but when I spoke with my dad this morning he said he believed after he left State Street that the school name was changed. He also thought Miss Hazel did come out there to teach at that point. She was my teacher in first grade at Garfield School on Central Avenue but this would've been during the early 40's.
I also told my dad about the writing on the board of the number 8 and he was amazed to realize that something that minor had stuck with a child all these years. Of course, he was very deeply touched that someone remembered him to begin with.
