Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913

Half Day School Days

Do you remember when Glasgow had half day school days? I remember moving from Opheim the summer between my junior and senior year. I was lucky enough to be hired by a Bank here in Glasgow that summer and decided to finish my schooling in Glasgow.

What a deal, I could go to school in the mornings, and then go to my job after lunch. Not many of us had the opportunity to make money and attend school all at the same time, unless you had an extremely good baby-sitting job somewhere.

I am pretty sure these days came about due to the extra population of the schools due to the Glasgow Air Force base and the additional students that brought to the high school.

I do remember there was an elementary school at the AFB. Therefore, those grades weren’t affected as much as the high school.
