Linwood in the 1940s- BTTP
Jane Q: Hello and welcome to Blast to the Past!
Bobby: Recently, radiation officers have ventured to the surface and have found
an abandoned school named Linwood Elementary School. They also found a halfburied time capsule. The capsule contained papers on the history of the school in
the 1940s.
Max Johnson: Here is a summary of what they found: In 1941 a character named
Santa Claus came to the school. The children were so happy they excited a rare
kind of bird, nearly extinct from the Wipeout. It is the avian species 345611, or
the duck. The school was also a place to poll for presidents and governors. They
have obtained a picture of the incident:
Jane Q: After this, a new principal was elected. Her name was E. C. Intolubbe and
was elected in 1943, around the same time a minor smallpox epidemic broke out.
Supplies and Services reports that smallpox was a virus that was as deadly as the
asteroid that hit Earth so long ago.
Max Johnson: In 1944, during WWII, when rations were being passed out,
Intolubbe changed the order of registration so that people with surnames starting
with S-Y would get the rations earlier than surnames A-R.
Bobby: We also have some comments from a man who was preserved until 17
months ago- over to you.
David Guillams: When I went to school from 1943 to 1950, World War II was going
on, and you could buy war bond stamps for 5 cents. We had two-part desks and
pens & ink. I remember that you could watch a movie for 15 cents in the
cafeteria, if you had the money.
Jane Q: And, finally, we have a picture of Principal Intolubbe:
