At that time the Center School was a two-room school house. The Sub-primary through fourth grades were in one room. The fifth through eighth grades were in the other. There was a big crack in the floor of the lower grade classroom. In the winter cold wind would blow in through the crack. There was a two-sided outhouse in the back. |
