Maple School History Part 4 seeks photos and memories
Ben Warkentin editors a Maple School history series to mark the 2010 centennial. The memoir spans 1920s Shafter Wasco area life, detailing the Unruh family move from Kansas to California, maple school years, Mennonite church life, farming hardships, PTA, education, and a 1928 move to Bakersfield, with requests for class photos and alumni memories.
