I attended San Pablo in the late 50s & early 60s. I actually walked to school on a DIRT ROAD from Penman to San Pablo! Miss McClellan was my third grade teacher. She played classical music after lunch--ahead of her time! I later attended FSU & she was there getting an advanced degree! Mrs. Walsh was also a teacher. Her son, Ken, won a gold medal in swimming at the Olympics. Ms. McCarthy was my 6th grade teacher. All her classes got to make marionettes & put on a play. We did "Peter Pan", & I can still sing all those songs we learned for it! A fellow student, Wendy Perry, was in her class. Wendy had polio and taught us all alot about compasion and fortitude. Another 6th grade teacher was, the dreaded Mrs. Capp! She wore crazy earrings! One day she wore a pair & told her class they were made out of fish eyes! I worked in the library before school each morning. The librarian was Jewell Smith. What a wonderful lady she was!

I, for one, went home and pulled out the old year book. I had to look you up.
Jane Chepon told me you had posted. Thank you so much!

WOW! I had Mrs. Capp for 6th grade and she terrified me. I remembered trying to be invisible so she would not call on me to answer a social studies question, because I would feeze and go blank. Later, after leaving San Pablo, I remember seeing her selling tickets at the movies! She seem happy to see me, and I was in awe!
