Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

Peabody Elementary School, Dallas, Texas, 1941-1942, Combined 4th and 5th grades

My mother, Ruby (Yeakley) Rhea, graduated in 1941, from Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. She earned a BS Degree in Library Science. As part of her education, she was required to teach an elementary school class. I don't know if she chose Peabody Elementary School but I know that it was something she really enjoyed. The class she taught was the combined 4th and 5th grade class in 1941-1942.

She created a scrapbook of the students from that year. I believe that all pictures should be shared so I am posting the class pictures here. All the kids are identified.
