The entrance here leads to the town jail.

This is a view of Sollie's furniture store.  They have done business in Callender for over 40 years.

This plaque recognizes the original building of the school in Callender in 1923.

This shows the first student council members.  A few of the members went to school with two of my brothers.

This is the lone remaining original hallway in the Callender school.  I roamed this hallway for all of my elementary school years.  It originally led to the playground.  The first door on the right was my third grade classroom.

This was Mrs. Bailey's third grade classroom when I was in third grade.  She was not my teacher, but I thought that a picture was necessary.

This may have been my kindergarten room back in 1970, but I am not sure.

This is a picture of the basketball hoops that the kids played on.  Even kids from Gowrie played there on the weekends.  The hoops were short, so when we got tall enough we could dunk the ball.  I used to imitate Michael Jordan on these hoops and practice all sorts of different dunks.

This is a picture of the playground equipment.  This is the some of the same equipment that was there when I was in elementary school.

This picture is of the time capsule that we did in 1976.  I was in the sixth grade then.  I don't remember what I put in there.  It probably was not important.
