About 15 years ago I went to the infamous Chicken Barn down near Rockland/Camden/Belfast Maine. It had everything old. I was drawn to dusty and aged maps, magazines, and some books. I came across this student's personal book called, My School-Day Autobiography. It had a $4 price and it was date 1929/30. I opened it and read a few of the comments the kids of 1929 wrote to the owner of the book, Barbara P. Sawyer. I felt the giggles form in my hands as I read each kids comment, written in mostly great penmanship. I want to share that mirth with you from these long ago students who were mostly in 9th grade in 1929. These students all hailed from Leominster, Massachusetts. If you know of any descendants written in this book, write to me.... it saddened me to think young Barbara P. Sawyer held on to this keepsake for all of her life....and then it ended up for sale on some table. I was the stranger who picked it up. I have searched some of the names, but alas, most seem to have passed. But maybe there is a kin or two in the Leominster, Massachusetts area of one of the signers. Or a high school or grade school in Leominster who would like to archive the little 5x7 book.
