Cheryl through the years at Rolph Road School

Well-known merchant Cheryl Ingram of Puregress Med Spa (1689 Bayview Ave.) is looking forward to heading to the Rolph Road School anniversary this weekend to meet friends and teachers from the 1970s. Cheryl, like thousands of others worked her way through the forms from Kindergarten to Grade Six at Rolph, which is celebrating 75 years since it opened in 1939. Like school days everywhere, the memories are mixed. Times could be kind or cruel. Sometimes a kid got a swat on the bottom with a ruler. That’s over, we’re sure. “I’m excited,” Cheryl confesses as she readies to meet a lot of schoolmates. She is hoping to see people like Kathy Badali, Ruth Butler, Sarah Fullerton and  Nancy White. The event is set for 7 p.m. Friday, October 24, 2014 in the William Lea room at 1073 Millwood Road. Organizer Petra Grantham is urging anyone who might like to go to get a ticket now at rolphroad75@gmail.com. Photos l to r: Cheryl in Kindergarten and Grades Five and Six, Cheryl today.
