Sometimes you might see snakes in the foundation of the school. Boys would catch a snake and chase other students...(especially the girls!!) They ran and screamed! So our teacher brought a glass tank, like a fish tank, to school and thus allowed a snake to be kept in it for a while. This added even more to our curiosity plus was a learning experience for all.

Yes! I do remember all those snakes. There were air holes in the foundation blocks to let air circulate under the floor and that is where the snakes went in and out.

My name is Mary June
I began Bricktown school in the fall of 1938 at the age of 5. The first day was frightening! I remember my dad took me to school and together we walked down that long, middle isle to meet the teacher, Miss Votaw. Her kind words and really nice smile welcomed me to this one-room school. Soon I met new friends and loved going to school.
