We attended Villa Park Elementary School in the spring of 1960, the 5th Grade (Georgann was in the 4th grade). Handy Elementary School would open for us in the fall of 1960, and was much closer to our home, over the freeway bridge. My classroom was the one of the right end of that section of classrooms. Georgann was in the next classroom down. I again had a female teacher. Not much was memorable that single semester except that they promoted religion in those days by having students attend instruction, perhaps once a week or maybe once a month, at some one's house near the campus. We Catholics were met by a priest at the home of an elderly woman. I suppose that was their way of separating church and state by having these religious classes off campus. The only other memory I have is that several of the moms with acting aspirations put on a production in the cafetorium of Lil' Abner.
