I have to ask you if the term "Reception Grade" was due to the inception of WWII?
I have never heard that before and I suppose it was akin to "Liberty Cabbage" replacing what we knew as kindergarten?

No Skip, Reception grade was in place long before the advent of WWII. When I went into the army in 1955, my first assignment was to the Fort Dix"Reception Center" where new recruits were processed. At Kuser and other Hamilton elementary schools, the same principle applied. We went to "Reception" grade, not Kindergarten.
