A Prayer for Jan Jackson

Editor’s Note: This is a sad story, but one well told and well worth remembering. Don’t forget to send us updates on members of the class or your stores from the past.

I doubt that anyone remembers the first student of the Erwin Class of 76 to die. That’s because no one really had the chance to know who she was. Sadly enough, I suspect that she never really had a chance to know who she was.
Her name was Jan Jackson and she was in my first grade class taught by Ms. Schwartz.
She was a small, pale girl in pink clothes who sat in the row next to me but didn’t say much. And then one day she stopped coming to school. Ms. Schwartz called her name on the roll every day but there was no answer. Finally she stopped calling her name.
Many people may not remember this, but when we started school, prayer was allowed in the classroom. Ms. Schwartz would have us start the day with the Pledge of Allegiance and then a prayer (I think it was the Lord’s Prayer.)
