Were this photo a year or two later, I would have been in it. I don't recall what grade I was in when I was on Quizdown, but given their schools, these are grade school kids, and I assume they were in sixth grade, the highest grade in their schools.
My family moved from Riverside to Lorain Borough when I was in the middle of sixth grade, so I don't recall which school I was representing at the time.
Having lived in both of these districts, I know some of the kids shown here or their siblings.
Lorain
Charlotte Szelazeck: I don't know if that's spelled correctly or not, but it's pronounced slay-zack. I knew the two Szelazeck sisters. They lived up the street from me. Charlotte was the elder of the two and later was a drum majorette at Ferndale and one of the prettiest girls in school.
Richard Nau went to my church, Christ E.U.B. in Moxham, but with his being older than I, we weren't close. We were also in the same Boy Scout Troop 38 sponsored by the church but at different times.
Riverside
Carol Ann Svoboda's younger brother, Fred, was in my class.
Similarly, Richard Hate's younger brother, Paul, was also in my class. Their mother had a candy business, but I never tasted any.
There are others whose names or surnames I recognize but I can't say I knew them.
Of the whole lot, however, was my close neighbor and best buddy at the time until we moved, Gail Hopfer. She played accordion and kept rabbits for pets in a coop in her back yard. The song I remember her playing the most was "Bluebells of Scotland." We played canasta. Our mothers were close, too.
That is amazing photos.
