I graduated T.M. Peirce 1943/1944 it then went to 8th grade. It was in the area that was called Little Italy. It was an excellent school. The teachers were super. My 1st grade teacher was Ms Stansbury, my 5th grade teacher was Miss Heck and my 7th grade teacher was Ms Maslin. The fact that at the age of 88 I still remember these teachers. They all made a big impact on my entire education experience. In my day, when you graduated H.S., most of us had to go right to work. There were some of the most fortunate enough to go to college. I am still working and am very appreciative of my school days at T.M Peirce
