Good memories of Joyce from first grade to twelfth grade at Olive and Fairfield High School. We played Mother May I on the the front walk to writing license plate numbers of cars driving on Route 62. Olive was a three room school in the late 40s and early 50s . There were around 80 students for the three teachers. And we had a hot lunch everyday for one dollar a week. Memories.
