Judging from the writing on the blackboard we learned to read from the same book... Dick and Jane. Don't forget the dog Spot.

Yes, I suppose no more Christmas in the schools but back in those days school was a pretty WASP affair - as you can see by the ethnic make-up of this class.<br /><br />Dean - I'm surprised you think you could have picked me out - I had a hard time myself when I first saw this photo after many years. I am pretty sure the class photo was taken in Saskatoon when I was in Grade 1 or 2.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-57952977374239262222010-12-14T10:16:49.460-08:002010-12-14T10:16:49.460-08:00Love it, .. nostalgia is great.

My Mum still has a foot-high rubber Santa to go under the tree that dates to the early fifties.<br /><br />And, uh-huh, I could've picked you out from the group, seriously.<br />What community was that?Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-16581327729976268342010-12-14T09:57:00.828-08:002010-12-14T09:57:00.828-08:00How adorable are you?!

I didn't know you were from the prairies. <br /><br />I do remember having to untangle and test the outdoor and tree lights for my dad, who'd just dump them unceremoniously in the shed after the season. <br /><br />These days too many people complain about Christmas trees in the schools. It's really sad that classrooms can't decorate for any holiday without some parent or group complaining about it. A few years ago the Tacoma Wiccan community complained about Halloween witch decorations depicting witches as old and ugly.
