Mr. Guy
The McConnell House was an extension
of Cameron School, with third grade classes on double
sessions (while the district was frantically building more
schools because of the baby boom). Our class was in
the living room; Mrs. Hutchinson's class was in two
bedrooms with a hole in the wall for the teacher to go
back and forth between the rooms. The house was next
to Walnut Creek, on the north side of the creek, east of
Lark Ellen. I looked online recently and the house
is no longer there. John Ellison was in Mrs
Hutchinson's class, and he says the highlight of that year
for him was when Mr Guy broke his arm teaching the boys
tackle football.
As you can see, I need
SERIOUS help with these faces! Hint: a bunch of these
kids show up later at Coronado School in the 5th & 6th
grade. I think they probably went to Sunset Jr High and
Edgewood High School. Help, anyone?
