That the recent series of stories of old school days in Norwalk has brought several letters from the older ones who made the town their homes more than fifty years ago One of those letters I am printing today as it is not without a keen sense of humor, and will j 1 permit her old friends in Norwalk, jcit and especially in the Baptist ret church, to hear from her. Miss ed Bessie Kubach, a in mber of my Edhigh school class of IH8H, writes!of from her home in Cleveland:“Dear Mr. Did You Know:The sixth and seventh articles in your series of ten have brought to mind minor events of the pastthat had almost faded from my memory. First, I’d like to know in if I'm the ‘one exception' re j be ferred to in the sixth article. If at not, please allow me to make a|wa correction. Though well advanced into the ranks of the octogenari* | ^ ans, I’ve not yet begun harp practice. and still regard a crown asBr1paforedcoPitan uncomfortable headpiece. At 7.,botasilt;bepapchiFthat remote period, the dubious statistics of being the youngest member of the class has develop-ed into a real asset. While 1 wasn’t put up in as attractive package, there’s no dispute as to the durability of the article.“Your reference to the slateand sponge era recalls a funny incident that occurred in the sixth grade at the old Hester street building, Miss Orpha Baldwin, thenb teacher. In starting to discharge|M my honorable duty of wetting the sponges, I reached up to the drum placed a short distance above the top of the stove, where stood the pot of hot water used for the purpose. Not being quite tail enough to effectively cope with the situation, I tipped the pot, with the result that my dress and clean white ruffled pinafore apron absorbed most of the water intended for the sponges. and figuratively speaking I had to be hung up to dry. *“Many typical incidents were restored to my mind by the roster of pupils of that period Since Iiv was born in Norwalk, and shall al-1tl ways regard it as home, though |p fate has decreed that I live else- f,where, I shall anticipate the re- sOtllatrVVie:a:tahPbSmaining articles of your series. The arrival of the Reflector Herald is always a pleasant event m my daily life. Long may it wave.’*|hCordially yours. t(Bessie E. Kubach -jCleveland, August R, 1957 ,
