    I went to Mt. Olive Elementary School from First through Sixth grades, 1955-1960. At that time all classes were in the one,main building which from the satellite pic seems to have gone FOOP, and disappeared. There was a frame Janitor's House, free-standing, just WNW of the main building. This was converted into a one-room,two-grades (4th & 5th) classroom when I was in 3rd grade,I believe,and I took my 5th grade classes in it.
    At that time,or thereabouts, Alabama's schools were ranked 47th out of the 48 states in existence then. ( Alaska & Hawaii were still Territories then.) In spite of that, we were blessed with teachers who gave a damn about more important matters than their pay scales and benefits packages. Namely, the students (called pupils then,at that stage of learning), and the quality of the educations thereof. Discipline was far stricter,more just,more rapidly dispensed, and often of the corporal variety. I disliked it then, no surprises there,huh? But it was more effective and,in at least my own case, got backed up at home.
    In our current times, we throw heaps of money at what never should've been allowed to become problematic. And continues to worsen instead of improving. So I am grateful for every single little thing I was taught there at Mt. Olive Elementary School ! The memories of my time there are very, very fond. Some of them are cherished dearly. If it's half now what it was then, Mt. Olive is one awesome school !
