09 - 1st Grade Classroom, Beverly Place

Student work in this photo of a 1967 first-grade classroom at Beverly Place demonstrates the joyful array of interests and topics of study of elementary children, including the hand-fashioned dinosaur diorama on the round table behind the desks. Out of view in this scene are a model of the rocket-powered X-15 aircraft and a “Space News” booklet, reflecting the popular national focus on flight and space exploration in the 1960s.
