Did board compasses go out of fashion between 1917 and when you were at school?

I can imagine what one is, but I never saw a teacher use one during my school career... I did have several teachers that used five evenly-spaced chalk holders for drawing musical staff lines, though.

My H.S. geometry teacher used a board compass all the time.

My original thought related to a “Jewish presence” in Emerson High School in 1917,
so I looked for locations and histories of synagogues in Oklahoma City

Emanuel Synagogue located at Reno and Dewey streets
was “…at the center of the city’s Jewish community…” in 1917

Temple B’Nai Isreal membership was located at 50 N Broadway Circle was
“by 1925 … over 160 families…overcrowded”

Both synagogues were within 15 minutes walking time of Emerson High School.

[Google Map search for Emerson High School points to Emerson Middle School]

Coincidences ??? Sure, but not impossible

Good work and this is how we learn when we quibble.

I had almost posted "Surely there were no Jews in Oklahoma City in 1917...!" but there they were.

There were Jews in the colonies, a Philadelphia Jew financed the American revolution, there were Jews in all the states, So what? Show me where they counted them, pointed them out, and tallied them on the school blackboard, in any American public school... ever. The notion is preposterous.

In fact the board monitor for the week, who usually only got to use the eraser (although spanking it outside was fun) and check there was enough chalk available, was always highly gratified if called up to prepare a chalk circle during a lesson.

I remember being sick with jealousy when we started to learn about Venn diagrams after I was board monitor. I never forgave Mirella C for that. Well, okay, I did. But it rankled for a long time.
