John Campbell Elementary School
Courtesy Stan Scislowski

Stan Scislowski, a regular contributor (Stan’s World), sent in this great 1927 photo of Johan Campbell Public School’s first kindergarten class. Stan is third from the right in the front row. According to him, he’s “the best looking kid of all. I don’t know where the good looks went to after a couple of years.”

Incredibly, his beautiful school, as well as Begley and Benson are scheduled for demolition in the near future and will be replaced with new schools. Not only would three architecturally significant schools be lost forever, the cost to tear them down and rebuild will be far greater than renovating them.

SAVE THESE SCHOOLS!
