Think the real 'key' to identifying these photos lies within the publication date of 1948. You almost have to ask yourself how old you were then, or the age of other siblings and friends. Remember doing 'problems' on the chalk boards?? Enjoy. Nanc

Thanks, Margie, she IDed in post # 32, Becky Huffman taking jar out of pan, and Susan Golden w/book in her hand. This being a lesson in canning. Question and perhaps, a statement------seems to me that there was a Home Ec room in the basement at Wilson Jr. High. Was the teacher, a Miss Snyder? Nanc

On this one, in costume, I will 'hazard' a guess, and I 'think' the little girl might be Butch (Mary Lea) Cook. Be brave and let's try and figure these photos out. Nanc

Please forgive some slightly crooked scans, the little booklet seems to be fighting me in the scanner, plus I am not all that great at scanning!!!!!!!!! Okay, now someone needs to ID this second photo. And post an identification. ;D Nanc

AND the back cover------ Since this booklet was put out in November 1948, one 'might' guess that this was the CHS graduating class of 1948. Even the original is not too clear, but................. Enjoy. WHEW, and mission accomplished for today. ;D Nanc

Post #26, this is definitely our old high school library as I remember it. Post #27 looks like the cafeteria line at CHS. Post #23 is a girls' high school gym class (how well I remember those horrid things we had to wear to gym class) and the gentleman in the picture above the gym one is Mr. Judson Erne.
A couple of the girls in other posts look familiar but it will require me going thru some old Logs to try and identify them.

Yea, Babs, thanks for the input. On the 'those gym outfits,' weren't they a rather ugly bluish-green color? ? And one piece 'jobbers' with a funny little belt. YUK!!!! Know that for gym, I did enjoy the badminton and a deck tennis/ring toss game. Now those were fun. Somehow, in the short time I attended CHS, I 'escaped' swimming classes and the wet hair dash in cold weather. Who else? ? Join the fun of figuring out these photos. Nanc

I moved this Posting from The Present: Columbus Indiana Today Category: Thanks Bob, for your great input.
The only part that I don't 'understand,' I guess-----in the mid to late 40s, as an example, Garfield only went to 6th grade. (Don't think there was even a kindergarten, at least wasn't when I started school, beginning at first grade.) From Garfield, and the 6th grade basketball tournaments that I recall, I went directly to Wilson Junior High, for 7th and 8th grades. In all honesty, I don't remember there being a basketball team, altho' would suspect there might have been. (Anyone know for sure?)
Thanks for sharing.
Nanc [/size][/quote] On page 1 in this thread, there was 'some discussion' about basketball teams at Wilson Junior High. Buried deep in a box that I recently went through, I found evidence to answer my own question. Seems I only wrote down a couple of scores, and weren't they rather low? ? And from an old autograph book: I do believe that Mr. Thayer also taught English, as well. Nanc

Pictures on the bottom of post #21 were from 1948. These pictures were taken on the second floor of the main building in the Home ec rooms. I was a freshman that year and recongized two girls right away. Becky Huffman is taking a jar out of a pan after it had been boiled. We were learning the fine points of Canning. Susan Golden is standing on the other side of the stove with a book in her hands.
So far that is the only ones I can identify. I'll go get my old log out and see if there are others.

Re: Post #21 Hey Margie, Thanks for the confirmation; I thought that was Rebecca and Susan but was not sure. Funny how just a side view of someone's face can bring back a name "just like that"! Also was positive that was our Home Ec room as well. Glad to see someone else could verify that my memory is pretty good! :-)

Nanc, Those "horrible gym outfits" were indeed some rather odd color, more green than anything with a bluish tint but what I remember most was how they fit. They had huge, big wide legs (and who had big legs?), no waistline and fit just awful. Of course the "tank suit" we had to wear for swimming wasn't any better! I always enjoyed swimming even though the facilities to dry our hair were less than desirable. It was at CHS that I did learn to swim ( though I can't say I ever became very good at it until we lived in Florida and we had our own pool). I can remember the day I "passed" my swimming test and Miss Euzetta Foster told me "you can be a good swimmer if you ever get over your fear of deep water". Well I eventually did overcome my fear of "the deep end" of the pool and now I prefer to always swim in the deep end. In looking back, which I guess is what this site is all about, we were most fortunate to have grown up here in Columbus. Not many kids had the chance to have a pool and learn to swim while in high school. Columbus was most progressive for such a small town.

Nanc, the photos were really a great addition. Even thou I was not in that school, the sights and sounds could be heard as they moved past decades of other memories. I very well could relate. I did notice, and maybe I shouldn't have, but there is not one chubby kid in those pictures. Looking at todays kids really makes me feel sorry that this generation did not have the hard "recess play time" we had, or the playing outside as we did. Computer games, TV and whatever else has almost ruined a generation of wonderful kids. Thanks for the memories. Bob Lane

Not sure if this is proper place to post this.... does anybody know if there is any records or research that has been done relating to BCSC elementary school basketball history? Tourney winners, results, etc... anything like that? Thanks!

Tourney winners, results, etc... anything like that? Thanks! Welcome David C, and it would appear that within this thread there are some 'stories, not records per se' about elementary school basketball. In post # 31, there are posted some cards offering the Wilson Basketball Team's schedules for a couple of years. The only other place that I can recall elementary basketball info is in the Garfield School thread, reply # 28, a photo of the team with the players identified. Inserting----while out feeding my horses, my best thinking time, I did think of another 'elementary school basketball photo,' posted by George, in the Jefferson School thread, page 2, reply # 17. Check it out, George and James Kaye are IDed, maybe you would know some of the others. Of course, there is the CHS basketball section that RER has added to, with much official information about the high school teams. Many of those players surely got their 'basketball starts' within the elementary school system. Nanc

David C said: and he said: Welcome David C and Hi Nancs: Well, this old guy has a Taylorsville basketball clipping for the date of November 10, 1955 (or 52 years ago). Taylorsville grade school had tough 7th and 8th grade teams back then as you can see below. Clifty eighth grade lost by one point. These two games were played at the Taylorsville school gym and I remember it like yesterday. Maybe some of the names will ring a bell. Of course I remember all the Clifty guys. Notice the last sentence quote: " Clifty plays Wilson next Thursday at Pearl Street Gym." Loved that gym!! Hope, David C that this brings back some memories of the old school days.
