Longfellow
Gwen Day was a friend of my mother. Gwen gave my mother a cut glass bowl and when my daughter was married she received the bowl.
Longfellow School
This information was from a book, the thirties, everyone was so young looking. I went to this school many years later, but received this book as a gift.
longfellow school toledo OH
I attended Longfellow in the 1950's. I had a Mrs. Day for 2nd grade and Gladys Holmes for 7th grade arithmetic class. Mrs Bethune was our 5th/6th grade music teacher. Many of the names in the photo sound familiar--probably parents of kids I went to school with. What is your connection with Longfellow School?

Longfellow School
Is there any possibility you could find out what other years Wallace Terhell taught there besides 1930-1931? I am doing genealogical research of the Terhell family. He married Jane E, Wiles around 1930. Was she a teacher there? Thanks. Judith Fair
Wallace Terhell, Longfellow School
If you write me at the email posted I will try to find out for you. These pictures were in a book on Longfellow School given to me as a gift because I went there, probaby starting in 1947. A Mr Siddle was principal, I can walk through that school in my mind like it was yesterday.
Wallace Terhell and Longfellow School.
I am researching the Terhell family of which Wallace Terhell is a member. He was born in 1903 in MN and died 1978 in CA.
He married Jane Wiles who lived with her family in Toledo.
Perhaps Jane was a teacher also.
I think they married in Jan., 1930 but can't find all the facts. I have not found any children for the couple either.
According to Jane's death certificate she was a homemaker for 45 years- she died in 1975.
According to the death certificate she had been in CA for 22 years so 1953 would have been when they moved there.
Wallace was a teacher at Waite High School , Toledo Ohio in 1938 and 1940 and had a book published in 1941- "60 Experiments with Magnets".
Please see what information you can find for you. I thank you very much. Judith Fair.

Longfellow School
I went to Longfellow School, those names you mention sound like I had them for teachers. Was Mrs Bethune's name Zena? There is a complete web site devoted to Old Ohio Schools, Longfellow among them. And....my Mother's name was Cadaret so either you are a prank or a relative in some form. I don't know if you were there when Mr Siddle was principal, then a woman replaced him. The audotoriam, the dances, a man called Jim Nestle come to show nature films. This was the best school I ever knew in my life for memories. Are you related to Keith Cadaret?
Longfellow School
I was at Longfellow from about 1948 to 1955. I remember when Mr. Siddle, I think his first name was Judson, had a heart attack in his office and died. He would come around to classes and teach penmanship. I remember Mrs.Fletcher, Mrs Randall, Mr. Christian, Mrs. Kruse, Mrs. Day, Mrs. Hildebrand. Our sixth grade class went to our teacher's, Mrs. Laird's, wedding.
I can't remember the name of my little brother's second grade teacher but she thought he would never amount to anything because he made his "2's" backward. He went on to become a successful accountant.
I remember marionette puppet shows in the big auditorium. The set or stage was tiny and hard to see if you sat toward the back but we kids were absolutely fascinated. This was probably when television was just coming in and not many people had one.
They used to let us out on Friday afternoons for an hour or two to attend church school. Most of the kids chose the church farthest away from the school. I chose the nearer one so I could cross the big intersection of Sylvania, Jackman and Tremainsville (?) with the assistance of Leo the policeman who wore a dark blue double-breasted jacket and looked so impressive. That was the only time I could cross with him as we lived on the school side of Sylvania. Leo lived just up the block from us.
Mr Christian...
Kay Kuebeler: I had to come back and make a comment on Mr Christian. Do you remember him well? If you were a girl...you had a crush on him. He had this one saying, "Just because you are crazy, don't mean you are stupid". Isn't it nice to remember this stuff?
Mr. Christian
Oh yes, he was cute all right - and I remember a blonde girl named Karen who had a really big crush on him. His classroom was in the new addition. And right next door was a Mr. Guise? One of them kept their windows open even in the winter - it sure was cold sitting next to them.
Mr Guise versus Mr Christian
Mr Guise , who was my seventh grade teacher,was the Clark Kent and Mr Christian was the Superman of their day. How about the basement? The home ec teacher down there forcing the kids to eat peas. Also forcing us kids to sing in public, on good thing that lasted me through life was she taught how to sew without a pattern. Can I leave you with this, my memory, maybe not yours LONGFELLOW VEGETABLE SOUP RECEIPT: 1/4 lb bacon or hamburg, brown.
Add: 1/2 chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 cup rice, or 1/3 cup barley
2 cups diced potatoes
1 pint tomatoes...this is the large can
2 tsp salt, pepper to taste
3 quarts water
Cook until all vegetables are tender.
I saved this receipte for years, how many I don't know, but I must of got it in 1953 or so.
Oh yes, the Home Ec teacher!
Oh yes, the Home Ec teacher! She could be a rather stern woman. I remember choking down a number of not-so-tasty dishes because I was intimidated by her.
Longfellow School and DeVilbiss High School
I was just by Longfellow school last week. I wanted to make sure it was still there. Now the city of Toledo, is not the city of my heart, but rather a mashed down upscaled version of nothing. Russell Brown, the principal of DeVilbiss lived on my street. He had sons, Robin and Stewert. Years later, like lots of years a friend sent me a video with Robin telling about Toledo. You write so often, tell me who you are and where you live. There is a guy, he has a complete Ohio site on old schools of Ohio. Aaron Turner is his name. If you like I can send it to you. If not...then when you are walking down Sylvania Avenue or Jackman Road, or going to the Miracle Mile...think of the old TOledo.
