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.
