I graduated from SMS in 1945 (I think). We used to play soccer every day behind the school in the fall, and softball in the spring. I have many fond memories of the school. We once had a drawing class with the school as subject. I remember Mrs. Puffer and Mrs. Newell who I think joined the WACs and Mrs. Lanthier(?) and the names of many of my classmates, so if any of you are around e-mail me!! (I also used to go to Grunings when it was "The Top"). I lived on Mayhew Drive between Twin Oak and Tillou. Thanks for the pictures! I graduated from SMS in 1945 (I think).

I am a graduate of SMS (1974)as was my father (1950) and uncle. I have fond memories the school, the dance & ballet lessons taken there and of the teachers! I even remember the nurse (Ms. Clune) who had worked with my grandfather (a doctor) & loved to tell me stories about him! Thank you for this site & the information-I live far away now, although my family still lives in SO-I don't get "home" near enough....but since we lived right around the corner (below Grunnings!!!!) I see the school on visits! I found this site by mistake and what a great mistake! I am a graduate of SMS (1974)as was my father (1950) and uncle.

Great to hear from you! Yeah, the Kindergarten addition is still there. There's also a newer addition on the opposite end. Given all the land behind the school, I'm surprised they never built in that direction. In any case, neither addition detracts from the original plan too much, which is good. Ryan!
