Fourth Grade

1962-63, Miss Sally Gonzales's 4th grade class, Española Elementary. We were in the room nearest the library, that opened to the west, on the outside, facing Theta (the oldest building, now gone).

I was nine years old in 4th grade. Most kids turn 10 during that year, but I had a summer birthday.

Missing from that set: Linda Askin (sp?—native, but maybe not local/Pueblo) who had the second-highest standardized test score in our class that year (I think I was first and Annette was third, or the other way around), and Billy Gallup, with reddish hair, whose grandparents (probably great-grandparents) were the "Gallup"s that Gallup NM was named for, I think—he wasn't there all year, just a while.

I posted on Facebook in "Española, do you remember when?" here, in 2017, so there might be commentary there, or you could leave some,
if Facebook is still around when you see this.

No one from my class had responded, though, as of 2025.
