Martin B. Anderson School #1: June 2008

I crossed it four times a day and was crossing guard on the bridge in 1956-1957 while in Mrs Colgan's 7th grade class. A new bridge was built in 1957 and this one demolished in the Spring of 1957 by the Atlas Wrecking Company. I watched the whole thing from my vantage point on the new bridge. Very sad, as the Subway was our playground and had a big impact on our young lives. No freeway can compare. At the north end of the bridge was the "Colby Street Hill" where we would sled after school in the winter.

One of my happiest memories is from December 1952. It was the last day of school before Christmas Vacation. We all sat in the auditorium for Christmas Carols and the B&W movie "March Of The Wooden Soldiers". Then sledding on the hill at the foot of Colby Street, all while listening to Subway cars winding up from their stop at Colby Street Station. It was great fun!

Class of '59 Reunion - Report

I just wanted to tell you that we had an unbelievably successful #1 School Class of 1959 Reunion the weekend of November 12-14. We had 40 people altogether...About 27 classmates who came from all over (Florida, Vermont, Mississippi, Arkansas, Virigina, Maine, and New York State), plus some brave spouses. We even had one teacher, Mrs. Arlene Stolnitz, who came up from Florida for the event. We had a school tour, an Open House, a dinner at Tay House, and a Sunday brunch. We put together a booklet with bios from everyone, telling about their last 51 years, nametags with our 7th grade pictures on them, a #1 School Trivia Quiz, '50's music and decor, and display boards with old pictures, memorabilia, and pictures of all the houses that each person lived in. Mel Levi actually set an alarm for 4:30 a.m. so he could skype with us from Israel Friday night. It went beyond our wildest expectations, and everyone is still circulating rave e-mail reviews about it. I'll send you a few pictures so you can see what it was like.
