Corning Elementary School Class Photos
It was the 1940's in the small northern
California town of Corning - a small group of children started school just
before the US entered World War II. Many of the students entering Corning Kindergarten
in the fall of 1941 would continue through this Corning school together - and
even through Corning High School. Many of them would maintain contact over
the 55 years since graduating from the 8th grade. Keith Wheeler was one member of this
group. Here are presented class photos from these years. Some show
defects and damage from many years of storage.
