"Shoot, i just composed a note and clicked the wrong button..i don't know where it went but I was remembering kindergarten with Mrs. Muff, Mrs. Munson 1st,  Mrs. Patton 2nd grade, Mrs. Urschel 3rd, Mrs. Simpson 4th and Mrs. More for 5th.  Doggy day on Wednesdays meant a hot dog and a cupcake.  The cafeteria wasn't built until the last year and the burgers were ghastly.  Mr. Henn was the principal.  I remember having to climb up on this stump to reach the rings and always fearing falling into it when I was done swinging all the way around.  I had callouses on my hands all the way thru the fifth grade from those rings.  Liza Sears/Anast  and Chrissy Holmes lived on the other side of the gate.  Mrs. Munson lived in that wonderful house on the corner of Palm.  Remember Mary Russell and Sloan McDonald went to Palm Crest until the 5th grade and then went to Westridge.  And remember Bart Rhinehart whose father owned Indian Springs the only public swimming pool in the area down off Verdugo and Canon.  Now it's a Sav-on.  Golly gee I digress way too much, see you all real soon, love D'Lorah"

06/16/2001 " I moved to LC in the summer 1960, my first class was 2nd grade but I don't have any idea who I had for a teacher.( memory fades in &out) I had Mrs.Urschel for 3rd grade(Only having the photo proves it, I don't remember it) 4th grade I had Mrs Schurmeister 5th I had Penny Schopflin that was the last class at Palm Crest for me."  Pete Christos

06/16/2001 " Cheryl, I remember Palm Crest well, we lived across the street on Jessen Dr. I attended all five years 5 yrs. and then moved away to Saugus, later to Texas. I then moved back before my senior year at L.C.H.S.in Mrs. Muff's kindergarten class I remember pounding on scrap 2x4's with nails in the back of the classroom. First grade was Mrs. Munson who lived down the street from us which incidently was an old house on the Palm crest school grounds. (corner of Palm and Jessen). Her husband was also the janitor at Palm Crest. Second grade was Mrs. Urshel, which had a pool party for us at her house in Altadena. Third grade was Mrs. Patton ,great teacher. Fourth I had Mrs. Simpson which also was my art teacher at L.C.H.S. senior year. Fifth was Mrs. Lovejoy which made us square dance Yuch ! to this day! Over all I have fond memories of the school. Max Ingham."

06/15/2001 Pete Christos, "I have a class photo of Mrs. Urschel's class in which I think you are in wearing a cub scout uniform. My eyes are not what they used to be but I think it's you. Palm Crest guys were the best and dodge ball.

05/15/2001 Most of my memories (elementary school-wise) revolve around Palm Crest. My favorite teacher there was Mrs. Shopflin who I hear is teaching now at LCHS.  Michael Hardy
