School Days - Spencer School:

Attending school in the 1950s and 1960s in Orem, Utah gradually changed as new elementary schools were built closer to home. When I started, I first briefly attended the Spencer School, located on the south east corner of State Street and 800 South.

It was built in 1912 and was a two-story eight-room school building and was used both for grade school and high school classes until the Lincoln High School was built across the street in 1921. The thing I remember about that school was the wide stairs and the hardwood floors that creaked as I walked down the hall. The Spencer School was torn down in 1991.
