I
remember my years at P.S. 115 as being a lot of fun. I met one of my best friends in
kindergarden (John Grant -- we're still in touch) and had a number of excellent teachers.
I always joke with my kids that, based on a report I did in 6th grade, I still know the
names of the islands of Japan! I remember teachers who encouraged you to learn and work
hard. I remember the safety squad and the service squad and 4th, 5th and 6th grade vice
presidents. All in all, I remember it as a very pleasant place, though, at the time, I'm
sure that I couldn't wait to grow up and get to 172. The daily deliveries of the N Y
Times. Junior Scholastic Magazine. Class Plays. How to spell "violoncello" - Mr.
Zaslow's challange after each annual spelling bee. Mrs. Okason's in-class project of
sewing an apron and the threat to withhold your yearend report card if you didn't complete
the project (and this was in 4th grade!). S.R.A. reading program. I remember some
wonderful teachers (Mrs. Fury and Mrs. Schulster particularly stand out). |

I was a nerdy kid -- captain of the Library Squad (and darn proud of it). I
had a huge crush on Mrs. Goldstein (the music teacher) and cried when she transferred to
another school. I still have my recorder and the handmade cover that Gloria Safrey's
mother made for us. Other teachers: Mrs. Golden (Kindergarten), Mrs. Schwadron (sp? - 1st
grade), Mrs. Meyers (2nd grade), Mrs. Sanders (3rd grade), Mrs. Okason (4th grade), Mrs.
Weiss (5th grade), and Mr. Reiderman (first 1/2 6th grade) and Mrs. Bronitsky (later Mrs.
Shapiro and...? -- 2nd 1/2 6th grade). With the exception of Mrs. Bronitsky I think all of
my teachers retired within five years after I graduated. I tried to take a peak around 115
about four years ago when I was visiting Glen Oaks, but a guard stopped me. Times have
changed. Mr. Reiderman playing the Beatles'
"When I'm 64" as exercise music during gym. Being sent to O.L.S. during
the two week public school strike -- and being terrified. Playing punchball in the yard
(both in gym and at lunch).... playing handball against the outside wall during lunch....
flipping baseball cards... Having to wear a tie during Friday's assemblies. Mrs.
Meyers pulling a student's ear when he put a pussy willow up his nose.
The Dutch masters
paintings at the front of the auditorium. Being "chalk monitor" and going outside
to bang erasers together. Dioramas on display in the hallway! |

My
older brother, Wayne, went to 115 6 years ahead of me. I remember vividly how hard he
worked in 6th grade (Mr. Riederman, who else) and how much I anticipated having him. He
was the most demanding teacher in the school, challenged us to learn and to do things way
over our heads, and in general was quite an influence on my entire educational career. He
then went on sabbatical in the middle of the year, and we never heard from him again. The
entire class was pissed off at him for leaving us in the middle. The replacement teacher,
Mrs. Bronitsky (who subsequently through marriages and divorces had the names Gordon and
Shapiro), was young, spirited, and knew she had her work cut out for her with a class full
of "gifted" students. It was tough for her at first, but eventually she won our
hearts. We did a play at the end of the year that had vignettes from 3 musicals: Fiddler
on the Roof, Mame, and Hair. It was quite the tour de force. I never saw
Mr. Riederman again and never found out why he went suddenly on
sabbatical that year, although I understand that he subsequently
returned to teach for several more years. I was saddened when I
heard that he had passed away, because I was never able to tell him of
the gratitude I felt for everything I learned in his classroom. The same holds true for a couple of the other
teachers I had there: Mrs. Bronitsky (et.al.), Mrs. Oakason, and everyone's favorite
1st
grade teacher, Mrs. Most. |

I remember graduation and singing all the
songs because of the special year. I remember being Peter Pan in Mr. Rederman's class
play. I remember finally learning the times table with Mrs. Krasnoff in 4th grade. I
remember being late to school alot which was really bad because I lived across the street! |

I remember so much about PS115. From Kindergarten when you got out
at 12:00Pm to 6th Grade graduation at Colden Auditorium.I was a bus monitor, in the SO, I
ran for president of SO, but lost to Charles Charlsson, all of my brothers and sisters
went there (6 of us, everyone knew who the Schmidt kids were). I enjoyed being there. |

I went 115 for grades 3-6. I had Mrs. Drucker for 3rd grade. I always think of her and how she is doing. She is 1 of 2 teachers who ever really took the time to help me with my work. I was at that time a slow learner and needed some extra help. If I could ever see her again I would thank her from the bottom of my heart for the influence she had on me. |

I remember everyone singing Debbie Boone's song " You
Light Up My Life " every Friday in the auditorium right before assembly began, in the
late seventies. I remember the big cupcake sales we had in the gym. They cost 10 cents
each and we used to put them in shirt boxes. I also remember the great book sales with
tables over-flowing with different titles and walking home with my bag full of books that
I couldn't wait to read. |
