Miss Mary’s Story

Item #320

True Builders of America

(July, 1983) This school marm is out of the early thirties and is named for my cousin, Miss Mary Morrison. Other teachers in my family are named on the top of the student’s desk. This is a very personal statue for me, as seen by my lunch pail, my second grade Find Out Book, and even the names of my two high schools on the side of the desk. Miss Mary is obviously a much beloved teacher, for her students have delivered a whole basket of apples to her.
