This is all I have for Longfellow Elementary School and Holy Angels School since I did not attend either. I would welcome info and photos from those of you who did.
Also see Earnest School, Irving Elementary School and Irving Junior High.
There is now a historical museum in what used to be Longfellow School. We visited there during our 35-year class reunion and it was really interesting.
Giant Strikes were also known as a Maypole swing or octopus swing. I don't have a photo of the giant strikes at Longfellow but these are similar. I loved playing on them but research shows they were dangerous and removed from most schools by the 1950s.
