Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph caption dated September 14, 1962 reads, "Sylmar Teacher Answers Bell Even Before School Begins. Bells Again -- Schoolteachers never seem to get away from the sounds of bells, and Mrs. Doris Segall of Sherman Oaks is no exception. The first bell is that of her alarm clock, which tells her it's time to get out of bed and get ready for the more than 30 students who will enter her B3 classroom Monday at Herrick Avenue School in Sylmar. There are name cards to fill out and lessons and bulletin boards to prepare. There's the momentary quiet of an empty classroom, which will soon be shattered when school bells ring and tell some 227,000 Los Angeles City School District pupils in the Valley that summer vacation is over and it's time to get back to work."
