Favorite Teacher(s): |
Jean Shiland, Walt Nash, and there were many others that had an influence on me. |
| Memories: | I remember the school burning, but I
didn't do it! I was out of town. Really. Riding to the games on the school bus - I was a cheerleader. Lots of fun. Being in the Drama Club, playing boy's basketball (Coach Nash made us quit because we beat the varsity boys one year). Miss Piddock (2nd grade) used to let us go in the cloak room and play if we got 100s in spelling? Spooky? No, just fun. Cambridge was a great place to grow up in. I worked in the Cambridge Bakery across from the school. The town cop, Charlie Cantwell, was everyone's friend. We were never afraid of policemen. We relied on them to keep us safe - although we didn't worry much about being safe. The whole town looked after us. They looked after many of my kids, too, in my Mom's beauty shop (Jennie Arnold). I loved Cambridge. Still do. (But I couldn't wait to leave it when I got out of school.) |

I know my cousin Melina Arnold Shores is in here somewhere. Jimmy Arnold encouraged me to sign in here, and my daughter Linda Finning Kelley has kept me informed. I noticed that even some of my grandchildren are registered here. Way to go! Am I the only person from 1949 that is registered? They're missing a lot. Way to go, Pauline! Good job. Congratulations to you and to anyone who helped you. It's a great site. |
