I was there 4th and 5th grades (68-71) before changing to Mccutcheon for 6th grade. I lived Uptown until we moved in 72. I absolutely loved reading this entire thread of conversation.

Ms Heidenbluth made us memorize a list of 40 prepositions, and never to use a verbal pause like "WELL" the gym teacher was flying Francis Conway, the Science teacher was Eugene Beck, ,, my homeroom was Dorothy Nordblad who taught math but also turned us into a glee club, I loved her. How did I do? I went to Lane tech and due to the influence of North Shore Church went to Milwaukee Bible College, then Trinity College on Berteau and Hermitage, after I got my BA I went into the Army and then to Graduate School at Northeastern at 5500 N, St Louis. I became a high school English teacher and retired in 1993, now I live in Hot Springs Ar, and often think of my friends and teachers at Stewart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700192481160437156.post-74206269090738566852018-05-17T17:13:01.431-05:002018-05-17T17:13:01.431-05:00I went to Stewart School from Kindergarten to 8th ...I went to Stewart School from Kindergarten to 8th grade, graduated in 1950. I was terrified of Mary Sullivan, the principal, who presided over the lunchroom daily and would not let you out the door until you had eaten everything on your plate. Mrs, Bower in Kindergarten was wonderful, as was Mrs Parmasak (sp?) in first or second grade, but Mrs, Kramer, in third grade, was the worst of the worst, To this day, I do not understand how they let her stay in school. She locked one kid in the closet for misbehaving on a daily basis, she made us kneel and look at the clock when we we misbehaved, and she made a spectacle out of students who did not go to church on Sunday (I was one of them.) On the other hand, I wound up with a wonderful gentleman in fifth grade, who allowed us to have a newspaper for our classroom. I wound up assistant editor. After graduation, I went on to Senn where I edited the yearbook and then on to Northwestern, where I majored in Journalism..so I guess Stewart had some good effect on me.<br /><br />leetwidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14811022950558661871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700192481160437156.post-37991243832317990042015-06-09T13:26:05.779-05:002015-06-09T13:26:05.779-05:00My family moved to Uptown in 1958.

My mom and dad lived there until 1999 when they finally sold their building and moved back to Chinatown. I had a paper route delivering the afternoon paper. My route was Montrose and Sunnyside and Hazel. I remember stopping off at Jake's hamburger place called Puf N Ruf to buy a burger now and then.<br /><br />We were one of the few Chinese family living in Uptown at that time.

The community may have changed since then but not its needs which apparently our Mayor and the Board cannot understand or appreciate.<br /><br />What I remember about Graeme Stewart was the dedication of the Pricipal, Mary M. Sullivan and the teacher that I remember, Burns, Jenks, and Wedding, from 1st thru 8th grade who blended a true elementary education with discipline which I may not have appreciated at the time, but in reterospect provided the foundation for all my education that was to follow and for whch I am truly grateful.<br /><br />After Stewart and four years at Senn, I was lucky enough to go to MIT, and into a family business, a machine shop started by my grandfather in 1923 and still in existance 90 years later in 2013.<br /><br />Soon to be 80, I'm working for the same company -- chalk it up to good luck, good genes, a wonderful wife, and, I'm sure, the basic education that came from Graeme Stewart.<br /><br />If there are any of you out there from the class of 1947 and are interested, give me a call at 773 248 2115 and lets see what has changed in the last 66 years.<br /><br />Gerson Ecker<br />2400 Lakeview, #3006 <br />Chicago, IL 60614.<br />June 01, 2013<br /><br /><br />P.S.: I would like to visit Stewart School in the next week or so and before the doors are closed and locked to those of us who remember and appreciate.

I ate my lunch outside the door and then I walked home by myself, talk about getting a whipping boy did I ever. They have torn the old boarding house/hotel down where we lived. My friend got Me and my sister in trouble she said our mom said we could go to Krogers with her, we went and they were giving away gold fish so when we got home and mom found out where we had gone we were in Big trouble. I went back in 2011 to the school and the teacher let me go see Room 102 and the lunch room, I made pictures and it was really cool.

I lived at 4622 N Clifton from 1949 to spring 1960. I remember a cold January night when a big fire broke out at the factory next door, we had to evac the apartment( single room for single men), I was the only kid in the building and there was only a few woman living there, at $7/week rent, anyway back to that cold night in January 1960, we took refuge in Thompson's Cafeteria, after the fire was out, I went to school at Stockton that morning and fell asleep in school. I believe the warehouse across from where I lived was own by former mayor Kennelley. Anyone remember Hillman's on broadway, the wilson village chinese restaurant next to Wilson el stop. How about that tragic CTA/Northshore train crash at the wilson stop in the late 1950's. Where the current Audi and Target store, there was a wooden roller rink, which caught fire in winter, famous picture was a car frozrn solid in ice. there is a lot of history there, would take a book to list it all.
