One of the charming and nearly forgotten customs of the one-room school was the end-of-the-year Souvenir given by the teacher to the students. These souvenirs provided students with a list of their classmates and the name and usually a picture of the teacher. Some of these Souvenirs have survived the years since they were published. Betty Goudy Cronin has shared this Punkin Ridge School Class of 1897 1898 Souvenir which has survived well over a century. Pictures of these students can be found by clicking here. Unfortunately, except for a few of the students, the names and pictures can not be matched. If you can help by naming students in the picture, please contact Betty Cronin and/or the webmaster, Dick Harrington.
