Grade Three Pupils at School Two and President Eisenhower
November 1955
Grade Three Pupils at School Two in Rosy Haze
When 28 third graders at School Two grow up and turn their memories back to cherished moments of childhood, one eventful day will be recalled above all others…the day they received a thank you card from President Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie.
Their teacher, Miss Lugenia Richards will also not soon forget the occasion when she read the message on the engraved card and watched the expression on the well scrubbed, shining faces of her pupils.
When the President was in the hospital each children sent him a get well card. Last Wednesday, the mailman delivered the President’s thank you message.
After each child had held the card and examined it closely, Miss Richards placed it on the bulletin board. For several days traffic was heavy in the third grade homeroom as children in other classes trekked to the board to see the impressive piece of pasteboard.
The card will remain on display throughout the school year, Miss Richards said, but she doesn’t know yet what she will do when June rolls around…perhaps the pupil with the very best citizenship record will be privileged to keep the card.
