Marsteller led the students of Maytown Ele- mentary School on the annual Walk into History last week. The youngsters studied the history of Maytown’s schools and churches in preperation for the walk. Mrs. Crankshaw told students how water had to be fetched from Maytown Square for the high school when she was a student. “I'm telling you this in spite of the fact that you'll probably think I'm 150 instead of just 100,” Mrs. Crankshaw told the class.
