Hawthorne was and still is a wonderful neighborhood elementary school and many of the teachers Margaret and Frank had were still teaching when I attended school there. Hawthorne's playground and field house were used by all the neighborhood children. We learned to play baseball in that playground, thanks to Hawthorne's gym teachers.
I attended St. Alphonsus elementary school during my fourth and fifth grades. Grandma and Grandpa felt that was the thing to do when I was of the age to receive first Communion and Confirmation.
