Contributed Newsclipping with picture of pupils dated 4 April 1942 - FROM THE FAMILY ALBUM - (apparently a regular newspaper feature). (Sorry, I have mislaid the picture that accompanied this.

"We go back a long way today to Oct. l8, 1887 and the scene is the Huntly school distirck(sic) No. 5 in Dallas twp, This is an unusual picture in that so far as the contributor, B.F. Hollenbaugh 120 Bland Ave., Bucyrus, knows, all but four of the group are still living. And the school building still stands on the Monnett-New Winchester road. There were no priorities, nor rubber shortages in those days, but the teacher, James H. Pace, walked daily to and from school from his home in Caledonia. Other teachers who followed him included, Laban Buzzard, Dan Angene, W. P. Baker, Viola Martin, John H. Daly and Charles Hoover of Wyandot who also walked to and from the school.
