I first attended Emmet in
I first attended Emmet in 1959 when I was in kindergarten I left Emmet early in 1969 I was in 7th grade. I was held back a few years Felt bad I didn't graduate.
At the time there was no lunch room. I walked back home for lunch, watched Bozo's circus, walked back to school. There was also no basketball team, no special activities after school, no field trips. But I enjoyed going there I had a bunch of friends, the teachers were nice.
I have a fond memory of being in miss Brown's 3rd grade class. 1964-65 season. The entire class put on a play called Cinderella. I didn't have a peaking part. I was one of the people dancing at the ball. Ahh those were the days.
