And those big jars of white paste that I believe some kids actually tasted!

tah-tah-tee-tee-tah... I just had a flashback when I read that. Also the art smocks and the smell of finger paint! It is all coming back to me now... The cool thing about being a brown-bagger was that eventually I upgraded to a tin lunchbox with Batman and Robin on it and a matching thermos for milk! Tom

I think we need a do you remember blog log! Okay, do you remember nap time with those red or blue mats..we had to bring smocks for finger painting on those easels. chocolate milk on special occasions, graham crackers, small wood chairs for music class ( ta ta tee tee tah). Singing some kind of song, hurray the bus is here. I think we had some kind of blocks we played with that were in a big closet. When you walked into the room there was a wood coat rack and shelf for the girls who had "shoe bags", lunch boxes, etc.And I do remember the gravy train hot lunch you mentioned..yuc!I think the weekly luch tickets were gold in color.

I was a "brown-bagger" so I almost never got a school lunch. A typical lunch for me was two buttered pieces of Wonderbread, two circles of Oscar Meyer bologna, a square of American cheese, and a leaf of lettuce. A couple of squirts of yellow mustard on one of the slices of bread was pretty common. That was the main course. I also had (typically) a small baggie with celery sticks or carrots and a piece of fruit such as an orange or slices of apple. In summary, nothing that could be traded for anything at the cafeteria. In the bottom of the bag was 2 cents for milk money. Every now and then we might get a treat...a bag of Fritos, a Space Food Stick, a frozen Snickers bar or something on that order. Best of all was when my Mom was too tired to make a lunch and we got to buy a lunch ticket. That happened like 2 times during the school year. For hot lunch I loved a.) Salisbury steak and b.) the scoop of mashed potatoes with the thin gravy and small specks of "meat" in it that the previous poster mentioned. I don't remember causing too much of a commotion on the bus because I was afraid of having to take a note home to my parents. Shame, shame, shame!

The ducks were present in the courtyard of "Dungeon Bay" school just about every spring. Speaking of "Dungeon Bay", there was a set of twins a couple years older than us named John and Steve Weber that used to lead the kids on the bus to school with sing-alongs to make the drudgery of leaving home for school slightly tolerable. The song was sung to the Marine Hymn melody and is STILL in my head...it goes something like this..."From the Halls Of Dungeon Bay School, to the shores of Bubblegum Bay, we will fight our daily battles, with spit balls, gum and clay..We will try to do our darndest, to keep our desks a mess, we are proud to represent the title, of teacher's number 1 pest!" They were great in leading the bus kids in a rousing rendition of "Snoopy and the Red Baron" by the Royal Guardsmen too. The hot lunches they served at Donges Bay were memorable. Yeah, the pizza burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches were pretty good, the weiner winks weren't too bad, the foot long hot dogs were a joke, the jello squares were too much fun to swallow hole, but what the heck were they thinking when they served "gravy train", that gross concoction of instant mashed potatoes scooped up with an ice cream scooper, plopped on your tray, and then covered with what they thought was gravy, which was probably also an instant gravy mix with the tiniest chunks of ground hamburger mixed in which provided enough texture to ensure thr majority of the kids sent it back to the dishwasher untouched. Back to Range Line/Lake Shore....remember the obnoxious teacher with the megaphone at recess who used to put the kids acting up and breaking playground rules along the south wall of Range Line School for the duration of recess? I think it was Mr. Ehn and probably Mr. Hoffman as well. I'll bet they wished they had some rubber balls to pelt those kids along the wall now and then. In relation to that, recollections of playing dodegeball at Donges Bay for Phy.Ed are clear. Looking back, you have to pity the poor girls that didn't have a chance playing that game with the boys. What was that Phy. Ed teacher thinking? I remember several balls bouncing off many a coconut, sadly, sometimes aimed there by the boys. Survival of the fittest began early in life....

I remember spending a short time at Range Line School. If you think about the shape of the school as a capital "L" written backwards, the elementary school was at the base of the "L" and our sixth grade class was at the top of the "L" with Miss Theine's classroom being at the very top. (I remember that there was an cement incline going up from the parking lot toward that classroom.) The school auditorium and gymnasium was at the base of the "L" in the corner. I remember getting German measles vaccine there. In Kindergarten I remember being up a few stories on the back of the school looking out over the playground where we played kickball and 4-square. In the basement of the same wing was the cafeteria. Off the playground going up toward Mequon Road was a small, marshy area. That is possible where the ducks came from. I don't recall a courtyard (although we did have a courtyard at Donges Bay, I think). We did a lot of arts and crafts during kindergarten. I remember finger painting and scribbling self-portraits in crayon. We had a showing of our art work for our parents. I have a better recollection of kindergarten at Donges Bay. The school was shaped kind of like a big "O". As you came in from the main entrance the gym was immediately to the right. If you went to the left instead you would walk towards our classroom which was on the left hand side of the hallway.

I remember that too. We started at Range Line and switched after Christmas break. I think the room we were in was in the far corner of the building where I think we later had 6th grade. I can picture a ramp on the far end of the room to exit outside. Anyone remember the ducks that lived in the court yard and they would open the doors to let the ducklings out! I remeber a picture of Mark Spooner and Sally Diebel on the front cover of the local paper in Mequon, "The Squire", I think that was the name, I'll try to find it!!

I don't remember the principal since I was never sent to the principal's office.

Harry Thompto was the principal of the school. Is that Lynette Vogel in the top row, 2nd from right? I believe Kindergarten only lasted at Range Line School for half a year, and then the Kindergarten class moved to the Brand new Donges Bay School in 1965-1966 to finish up the year. Any one else have that memory?

I think the unnamed boy in the cowboy shirt is "Danny Sluzeric". It came to me one afternoon out of the blue. I could be wrong. Tom

Thanks whoever posted this! I was drawing blanks on some of the girls in our class. Next to Lisa Fagan is Scott Brennan who lived next door to me and moved away when we were in 3rd or 4th grade. I don'r remember much of kindergarten other than that we sang a lot. One song was about "Don Gato" the cat that became "reaminated" (we sang that, it actually was "reanimated"). I also remember that Bob Rinehart lived next to the Range Line Inn and had a milk allergy. Despite this he was given milk for snack each day. It was like clockwork. He got sick and threw up like a half hour later. This went on most of the school year. What the hell were they thinking???
