Eugene Field School Reading Class, October 1949

May 6th, 2017

Eugene Field teacher Kathryn Carnahan leads a crowded classroom of 40 first graders in this October 1949 scene. Opened in 1936, Eugene Field in Normal closed as an elementary school in 2005, and today the 81-year-old building serves as the Vocational Training Center for McLean County Unit District No. 5. Who’s a Eugene Field alum or had children that attended this neighborhood school?
