I have a picture of the first-grade class of the Superior-Maitland Elementary first grade of 1946-47. I do not know how to post the picture. However, if you want a copy of the picture, email me and I will send ir attached to an email. No charge. The picture is freely copied and distributed.

Our lovely, kind teacher was Lucy Gatuso. The children in the class are listed ahead:

Superior-Maitland Elementary School First Grade, 1946-1947

Pictures are identified left to right, starting with top row. Apologies for any mistakes. My mother, Esabel Ramella, wrote the names on the back of the picture about 70 years ago. Some of these children were members of the Welch High School class of 1958.

(A personal note. Lucy Jo Goodman was my first-grade girlfriend and moved to Virginia before second grade began. Where are you, Lucy?)
