School days, school days,
Dear old golden rule days.
'Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick.
You were my queen in calico,
I was your bashful barefoot beau,
And you wrote on my slate,
'I love you, Joe,'
When we were a couple of kids.
Warren County Historical Society sent over a couple of links to school photos that are closely related to Grundy County as these photos are from schools just over the Grundy County line. The photos are from the following schools and school years:

I believe the lady on the left (in back row) may be Mrs. Everett Roberts, but I'm not sure. Maybe one of the other adults is Gertrude Kennerly who taught there. Can anyone help identify others in the picture? If you can identify anyone in this photo, please contact Janelle Taylor.
UPDATE!! The students have been identified!
