| Memories: | "My mother put her size 4 1/2 foot down and said if anyone had to ask the school board it had to be me and she would take me to see them…They decided I could attend… My father would take me in the morning and I would ride home with the teacher when she finished at night. I loved every day of it and was up in the mornings before my parents so I would be ready to go." -Anita Stepan, who went before the board to ask to attend school even though she was only 5. |
