The picture below was sent to me by Connie Evans Perry. There is a little controversy over this image. The picture was submitted to me as a combination 5th & 6th grade class picture. However, this class picture may be of the Gay Street 3rd & 4th grade, the 4th & 5th grade, or the 5th & sixth grade class. I have placed it as a 3rd grade image because I (Bill) only attended Gay Street School while in the 3rd and 4th grades. I attended 5th grade at the 7th Street School as can be seen by my image there. I also placed the picture here because we look so young. I believe we look like we are about 8-9 years old (3rd grade), not the 10-11 years old we would have to be for the 5th grade. If anyone has proof as to what grade this is, please let me know at [email protected].
