As the photo says, this is the Groveville School Kindergarten class of 1958. As always, Miss Longstreet is the kindergarten teacher.By looking at this picture, all I can says is “Groveville sure has some good looking children” and you can tell they are from Groveville, they are all smiling. I know all of these people, but can only name a little more than half.
As you can tell by the cute little girl in the center with the blue jumper that skinned knee, it tells you we liked to play hard too, maybe a game of Tag or running for home during Hide & Seek. Maybe her big brother pushed her, I doubt it. Hey, I know her, I knew that smile was familiar, but then in Groveville we never forget each other.
Some of the people in this photo are not with us any more and that’s sad, because they left us too soon and they are missed.
Most of these people have left Groveville, but some still come back when necessary, a funeral, a wedding, or Memorial Day Parade. Just the other week I was at a gathering of people, not Groveville people either, and I overheard someone being asked where they were from, their response was “I have lived in Virginia for forty two years, but I am really from Groveville”. Kind of makes you smile to hear that.

This was the afternoon class if I remember correctly..there were so many of us that some of the kids went in the morning and the rest of us later in the day.- Cheryl
