Brings back good memories. Went to Harrison for 5th and 6th grade after Roebling School closed. We had very patriotic auditorium programs during holidays..not the politically correct crap that kids are indoctrinated with today. And we played dodge-ball at recess...and if you lost, you lost...you were a loser..period!! We didn't get awards for being 2nd or 3rd or last..I was a patrolboy on Grand and Beatty during my 6th grade year and would walk home for lunch many times....now that's from school on Genessee St to my house on Beatty St...how did I ever do it without a school bus?..moved my backside fast, that's how.

Kindergarten was Miss Foss.
First grade was Mrs Rich, for a while, then I moved to 1st/2nd grade with Mrs Goetz.
I think third grade was MRs Mcgregor (she lived in Allentown).
Fourth grade was Mrs. Emma Mohr.
I had Mrs McGregor again, in 5th grade. Finished up with Mrs Jones in 6th grade.

Principal was Cora E. Pennington.
