I vaguely remember that it was noisy.   I remember the restroom much more clearly.  It was huge, with what seemed like a gazillion toilets in it.  Some of the older toilet seats were made of wood.  One day when I entered the restroom, a woman was hosing the place down. 

The restroom did not have sinks. When you exited that restroom, an exit to the right went out the the girls playground.  The boys played on the back side of the school.  After passing that door you entered a large area where there were half a gazillion sinks.  The room was also used as a lunchroom on Wednesday's for the children who stayed there during the lunch hour to take fifty cent dance lessons.  From that room, we would go to the auditorium.  I have very wonderful memories of the dance teacher; Miss Marie Cafereta.  Later, I took lessons at her studio.  She would pick up my mother, sister Sandy and I and drive us to the studio on Saturday's.  After class, My mother would take us to the nearby grocery store to buy the loss leaders, and then we would take the bus home.  My younger brother Bob took lessons for awhile, but then decided he would rather stay home with my brother Joe, to watch Saturday cartoons.   Later, my sister Kathy took lessons.  When we moved to Wisconsin, I missed the lessons and Miss Cafereta, very much.
