Arnold School 1st Grade, 1944

Arthur '56 Knapheide wrote recently, and sent a photo...

I found this picture the other day and thought you might be interested. This is the first grade class picture from Arnold School. Many of the 1956 graduation class of Lexington High School are in this picture. A real sobering thought is that this picture was taken about 60 years ago: on September 12, 1944 to be exact.

  1  How many of the students do you remember?
