Elmwood School 7th & 8th Grade 1937
Rear, Left to Right: Miss Grace Hardrath, Teacher (Graces father, William, and my father were second cousins.), Paul Rossow, Lorraine Klessig, Delos Alexander, Elaine Witt, Halbert Bud Hardrath, Irene Molle.
Front, Left to Right: Margaret Horner, Harlan Witt, Bernelda Reinecking.
As I recall, Irene and Delos were in the 8th grade.
Delos is the brother of Aunt Leora Lange, Elaine, Irene and Margaret and Harlan are my second cousins.
Miss Hardrath made pictures of the classes, cut out red valentine hearts and pasted a white lace paper doily and a picture on a heart for each student for Valentines Day 1937. The picture again illustrates that most of the families living in the community were related.

Old Elmwood School Teachers--compiled by Crystal Wendt
I have transcribed details below from the Elmwood School Minutes book. There are spaces between the teachers after 1923 to show the missing records. I have double checked what I have here for the records to compile this listing. Bud provided a teacher list for the time frame 1933 - 1938 from records which are not in the book he had provided.
If anyone is able to fill in the missing gaps or provide additional information on the teachers, please let me know.
