Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa

What timeframe would this have been, Kurt? I started school in Southern Iowa in the mid-'50s and our textbooks were always provided by the school district. I remember looking to see who'd had the book in years past.....and there were lots of names to read, as the books generally weren't very new.

A friend was telling me last week that she bought a pack of 24 pre-sharpened pencils specified by her son's teacher and also a pack of 12 mechanical pencils (we always called them Eversharps) at the beginning of school, and he brought home a note recently that he needed more pencils.
