Second Grade

The teacher of my second-grade class was Miss Annie Louise Smith. As I recall, there was a constant emphasis on a chalked-in calendar on a small blackboard. My best friend that year was Golden Cown. I haven't seen him since. I think that was the year I got my first bicycle, a small one. Our room was on the east side of the building near the stairs, with windows on one side so that I think of it as a dark room.
