Old Elsie

Back in 1951 Margie, my mother-in-law, got her first teaching job in Elsie Nebraska where she taught 1st and 2nd grade.

 

She still has her original teacher's contract....and made a whopping $183.33 a month over a 12 month period.  I'll do the math for you...that's $2,199.96 a year.

Now that Christmas is put away Margie and I spent the morning finally unpacking boxes uncovering treasures like this. It was fun hearing about "old Elsie."
