  West Chicago Community High School Class of 1963

Remembering Washington Elementary School

It's simply amazing what you can find when you go though boxes of old pictures and things that you forgot you even had! 
The following note, from Terry Duber, arrived in our class PO box on August 25, 2018.  Thanks Terry. 
Greetings We-Go  '63,

          Though I will not be at the reunion later this year I still look at the website once in a while.

          Under REMEMBERING in the drop-down there is an entry titled "Washington Elementary" which is a class photo of the "2nd grade - 1953".  I thought someone might be interested in the names of those fresh-faced eager pupils, so here they are - enclosed.

          Too bad I cant't remember the name of the teacher - maybe if I could see her face.  Was it Mrs. Herrington?  Oh well -
                                                                                                    ​Terry Duber 
In an email from Terry Duber dated 9/1/2019:
Second grade Miss Gehl and first grade Mrs. Harrington.  Kindergarten Mary Martin and Carrie Witzig.

In the fall of 1953 Turner School opened.  In 1955, Gary School opened.  Even with these two new elementary schools, a fifth grade class remained in the Washington School Annex.  The following is a list of those students.  If you have a class picture, please let us know.
