More memories, this time from the 2nd grade. Click to view the contents.

OK, here are some Cromwell memories going way back, all the way to kindergarten.
Our big field trip back in 1968 was a trip to the Parkville post office. I guess the highlight of
the trip was getting a little piece of paper stamped with the official postage stamper. I have
no memory of being there or getting it, but my Mom saved the stamped paper! We were there
on Feb 21 1968.

Now I know “report cards” are a pretty subjective thing for a Kindergartener. I’ve have
2 kids myself go through that stage, and another pending. Let’s face it, your main objective
back then was just play with some blocks and make it to the bathroom on time. My kids’
school has attempted to “grade” kids on social interaction and whatnot. But back in 1968
at Cromwell, your report was just a form letter, filled out with the proper name and gender.
Of course maybe there was a another form for kids that weren’t making progress?
