Abstract
Mary Hinding shares her experiences growing up in the Tremont neighborhood from approximately 1930 to 1941. As a first-generation Ukrainian-American, she discusses her family's immigration from Ukraine and their working-class lifestyle, with her father employed in a steel mill. Hinding reflects on the close-knit community comprised of Eastern European families, highlighting the mutual support among neighbors during the Great Depression. She describes her childhood activities centered around family, church, and school, including her education at Scranton Road Elementary School and her involvement in local games and performances. The narrative also addresses her values of respect, honesty, and religious observance, as well as her transition into the workforce after graduation. Hinding left Tremont around 1940-1941 but has continued to maintain connections with her high school classmates.
