For one year, we left the West Church facility and moved to the former parochial school building on West Main Street. This changed involved having to walk up Gardner Street each day to eat lunch and for any assemblies. It also meant a change in playgrounds. For recess the Church of the Assumption parking lot became our playground, this made for a lot of variations of the game of tag.

It also meant our first excursions into world of retail with a stop at Garvin's dairy store. Garvin's was a corner store in every sense of the word, where if you had a quarter, you were as wealthy as sultan and Garvin's was your kingdom. It was the only store where you could get a sideways double ice cream cone.

Second grade was also were some of us had a first experience with babies. Mrs. Rockwell who started the years as our teacher took a leave of absence to take care of her baby. Mrs. Stuckey came in and taught the rest of the year. The other teachers were Miss Wise and Miss Dew. By the end of the school year we were playing kickball and wiffleball among other games and during that summer between 2nd and 3rd grade the boys started playing mighty mite baseball.

We all remember the dreaded times of lining up in the old gym to get some form of booster shot. Memory prohibits who gave the shots. It could have been Mrs. Cranston, our school nurse. In the days prior to medical center there were doctors offices all over town. You went to Drs. Schmitthenner, Monte De Ramos, Childs, Reeder, Phillips, Stoup, or Carlotti or you went to Quaker City to Dr. Frakes.

As for dentists you went to one of four. Drs. Mayberry, Hasbrouck, White, or McClure. Prior to the building of the medical center, the location of Dr. Mayberry's office is unknown. Drs. White's/McClure's was over the Keystone Shoe store. Drs. Hasbrouck was on North Chestnut St., next to Damsel's Ice Cream in a little white house.

If you had to go to optometrist, you went to Dr. Briggs, unless you went to Cambridge or Wheeling. His office was in a house across the street from Drs. Hasbrouck office on North Chestnut St. By now most of us who needed to had been to Dr. Briggs and some of us had been given the dreaded news. We were going to need glasses.
