Walk into History at Maytown Elementary
Hazel Crankshaw and
Rev. 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.
