I attended Clover in the late 80s/early 90s and lived on Veteran. These are great pictures! Anyone know what clover was before it was a school?

Hey, Ryan. Yes I did attend Webster. I can't remember everyone from Webster but it was great to hear from you hear. Could you help me re-call what classes we were in. I can only remember a few teachers from Webster like Mr. Decaytor (I think) for math and Ms. Eithel for PE. Cheers man!

Hi Canute! I didn't attend Clover elementary school. But I, Ryan Southern, know you from Webster. I remember you well. How are you?

I went to Clover from 1984 to 1986 and so did my three sisters. We are from Papua New Guinea and we attended Clover whilst our father studied at UCLA. I would like to see more photos especially those from 1984 to 1986. My 4th grade teacher was Mrs. Bowling; my 5th grade teacher was Mrs. Shapiro and my 6th grade teacher was Mr. Lefall. I am now a Law Lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea.

My sister and I went to Clover Avenue from 1954 to 1960 (we both started first grade there. Mr. Sparti was my favorite teacher. I am a professor at a university in New Zealand, and my sister lives in Thailand.

This is a great gallery. Although a few years younger than Dave (my brother), I remember some of the kids on our block shown here.

I was at Clover for two years, kindergarten and first grade.

Hello, I am Mireya Serrano, I am Venezuelan. I studied at Clover Avenue School when I was six years old. Even though I studied almost a year there, I want to thank you for the beutiful moments I still have in my mind.Apart from my teacher I also had a Mexican teacher who helped me to learn English. She loved to chew gum. I also remember the cooking classes, they were funny. We came back to Venezuela in 1974. I am 39 years old now and I became an Enlish teacher. I work for a public high school here in Venezuela. It was nice to be in touch with you. Bye.

I entered Clover Avenue when it first opened, as a second grader (went to first grade at Charnock Road). Went on to Webster JHS in 1959. These photos are a great window to that era, thanks.

I went to Clover Avenue from 1957 to 1960. I remember Mr. Sparti playing his violin and jumping over his bow. We lived about four blocks from the school. It was a good time to live in LA then.

Always fun taking that stroll down memory lane... even if we didn't live on it!

I was at Clover Ave. some twenty-one years (1977-1980) after these pictures were taking. You were smart to have taken them. I wish I had some sense to do the same. They look really nice.
