1951 Mr Freeman and his wife lived in the
teacherage and both taught in the 40's
Earnest Allen Smith. He was the 6th & 7th grade teacher in
the early 1960's His wife Mary was the 1st & 2nd grade
teacher. I wish I had a picture of her too. They were great
teachers and wonderful people. They lived in the teacherage. I
spent a lot of time over there after school and in summer. Mr.
Smith tried his hand at raising mink one summer, which I thought
was facinating. They were so cute, but he didn't make much money
that way. I was also friends with his grandsons, Jesse and Terry,
and I would spend a lot of time with them in the summer. We did
not have a playground with a slide and I remember one summer Jesse
and I came up with our own slide. At the time the school used coal
for heat. In the summer time it was pretty empty so we started
sliding down the coal chute. It may have been empty, but it was
anything but CLEAN! I guess you know we both caught the dickens
for that.
