David, This is my first grade class and I will be able to identify a good portion of the kids.
I see by the times you were updating you had a bad night as well. I was up and online around 1 a.m. too.
Off for our morning walk and breakfast and then I will post the names I know.

Thanks David for all your patience and help. I am learning, bear with me. For the moment, since I think I need to scan this to a larger image, suffice to note-----8 students were absent this day with measles----so 33 + 8 = a mighty big 4th grade class for Miss Yeager to deal with in 1948 !!!!! Will make an attempt to ID the members of this class, and would welcome additions, corrections, suggestions. L-r Row 1 - "Sonny" Eugene Main, Don Holman, Bob Fraizer, unknown, unknown, unknown, Gene Wild, Jay Hodler, Larry Jordan, Billy Peek Row 2 - Joe Philip Harms (?), Jerry Robertson, Diane McNeely (sp), unknown, Barbara McQueston (sp) unknown, Phyllis ?, Judy McGuire, Jackie Larrison, Sue Ann McClure, unknown, Rex Petro, Darryl Greathouse (?) Row 3 - unknown, Maurice ?, Jimmy Maple, Beverly Wood, Ruth Lewellen (sp), Miss Yeagar, Jeanie Brumfield, Philipe Bauman, Kay Keesling, Patty Wagner, Dixie Bolar (?) Donna Hollenbeck and Nancy Stevens were absent along with 6 others, with measles, as noted above. Nanc

Nancy,
In reference to your comment about the class size, I’ve also noticed the large class size on all of the posted photos. I don’t remember teachers’ aides, does anyone else?
Another thing that stands out is the clothing we wore. The girls in dresses and some are wearing saddle style shoes. A large number of boys are wearing high-top leather shoes. I called those shoes Clod Hoppers! Several of the boys are wearing bibs or suspenders.

Agreed, EC, and I don't recall any teacher's aides either, but I do believe that Mr. W. D. Richards did have a paddle, and it was used!!!! Hmmmm, might that have been an incentive to behave and knuckle down and learn while in school? ;D Nanc

Ha Ha Ha. That one made me spill my coffee!
Hey, a great big, scary looking paddle was a great teacher's aide!
Maybe one of these days, the current school system will learn from the past!

In my quest to locate something else in my mom's treasures, came across this one!! According to the notation on the back of the photo, it is Mr. W. D. Richard's class at Garfield when my mom's middle brother was in the class. Guessing, but think it must have been taken in 1925 or 1926. And NO, I can NOT identify these class members!!! Nanc ;-)

Yes, I am sure Mr. Richards had a paddle as did Miss Hazel! They used them too back in "the good ole days"!!!
Today I ran across a newspaper article about Mr. Richard's retirement. I gather it was probably printed in the local newspaper. I do not have a scanner, but if I get a chance I will take it over to my brother's and have him scan it for me. Not promising I will be able to get it posted but it is sure interesting. If I can't get it scanned and posted, I will type out the major points. The article talked about when he drove a horse and buggy to school, where he began teaching and how many years he was principal at Garfield. I know he was the principal when I went there.
I found this newspaper article in the bottom of a box that my husband bought at a local auction and when I saw it was about Mr. Richards, I thought I need to put some of it on the site.
David, haven't heard a peep out of you of late. Hope you are back home and everything is A-Ok!
Babs :-)

On August 21st, Ricky Berkey posted the following:
Garfield School « Thread Started on August 21, at 8:34am »
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There will be an open house at the old Garfield School/former Arvin headquarters/now admin building for the school system on Mon 22 Aug from 6-7pm (prior to the school board meeting). Its a good chance for the public to get inside, see whats left of the inside of the old school and see the additions Arvin made to the building. Located at 1200 Central Ave. Its nice to know that this old building will continue to be a vital part of the community.

Yup, Garfield from K thru 6th for me. Roughly '57 thru '63? Violet Linke was principal. I also remember Mrs. Glick and Mrs. Bardonner, oh and Mrs. Hennesey, best 2nd grade teacher ever. Clark Foster

Hi, and yes. to Mrs. Hennessey, she was our next door neighbor, living at the SE corner of 7th and Cottage. Her youngest daughter was my very good friend. (That daughter, Margaret/Margy, passed after a long illness when she was in college.) Just as a matter of record, Mrs. Hennessey and her husband lived in Franklin for many, many years after they retired at an 'assisted living type' place. And I did see her when I would return to the Columbus area to visit, as recently as the summer of 1995. What with technology, along with going through old photos and the like, about a year ago, I launched a search for the oldest daughter, having run across her unusual married last name. AND I did locate her!!!!!!!!!!! Mrs. Hennessey passed about a year prior to when I made contact with daughter, Liz. At the age of 99. Neat lady, for sure. Sort of------and the rest of the story. I recall Violet Linke, as well. Post your Garfield memories, okay? We love the stories. Nanc

Referencing recent (Sept. 2006, Donner Park thread) posts about the merry-go-round at Donner Park. For the life of me, that I do NOT recall, however, there was a merry-go-round on the Garfield playground. And not very high off the ground. For some reason, seems to me that it was slightly 'tilted,' perhaps due to 'old age and much use.' Know that one had to hang on tightly to manage a ride. There were also perhaps a series of 6 swings. AND a slide. That is all the actual playground equipment that I can recall. But there was a cool sandlot basketball court, and a great rock out by the corner near Central, always good for 'King of the Mountain.' ;D Stay tuned, and get ready for 'a hoot.' Nanc

Nanc, I remember the big rock at Garfield but do not recall any type of playground equipment at the school. I remember playing hopskotch more than anything else.
The "ride" (the word I use skeptically) at Donner Park did have a big tilt to it and you really had to hang on once someone got it going fast. It was not, however, very high off the ground as Margo said...so perhaps I am not thinking of the same thing as she was. I never did know the name, but I can remember it was situated in a very dusty spot and you really got dirty running around and around getting the ride going. Best way was if Mom or Dad was there, or some bigger kids, and they would really get your "going". I think I mostly got on, held on to the metal rails with both hands and sort of layed down and hung on for dear life. It was easy to be slung off the ride if you weren't very careful. I am almost positive this ride was at Donner Park; however, with advancing age and many senior moments perhaps my mind has gone fuzzy! Thats my story and I am sticking to it! :-)
