day afternoon a voice said: ‘(This
is Maude Sutliff. I just saw your
picture in the paper.”
“No,” I replied, ‘I'm sure you
are mistaken because I have had
mo occasion to put my picture in
the paper.”
[She felt quite sure that she was
right, and finally told me about
the old picture in The Dallas Post.
‘When Mr. Kester came home I
hurried him down to Gregory's
Store for our copy. In the meantime
I got busy sorting through my
| “Sentimental Chest” where I keep
| pictures, clippings and mementos
| of other days. By the time he came
jback I had found a picture to
match the one in The Post.
It was a real thrill. Then I
studied, pondered and ‘tried to re-
member the mames., 1 recalled the
sweet youthful faces, but just
couldn’t recall their names.
By that time the phone was
ringing |constantly with each caller
remembering ‘this one and that one.
We helped each other finding out
“Who Wass Who.”
[Finally I went to see Maude Tur-
pin Warhola to help me verify the
names so that I could feel quite
sure that I was right. Many I have
never seen since the last day of
school. Others I have met in the
crowds on busy streets or at gather-
ings and they have had fun making
me guess who ‘they were.
Forty years are history but fond
memories linger anid the picture in
The Dallas Post renewed fthose
memories ‘and bonds of friendship.
It really helped people to forget
tragedies and the turmoil of the
modern day, People relaxed and
called me as well as their former
classmates to recall incidents of a
former time.
I remembered when I first came
to Dallas in 1909 ‘and my first trip
to Kunkle to sign my contract at
Del Honeywell's home, now Shrine
View. Then the search to find a
home for the first school term with
Mr, and Mrs. Oliver Fisher.
I taughit in the old building in
the field. The attendance was so
lange that a new school had to be
built (now Kunkle [Community
Hall). We could mot get into the
new building for the opening of
school so the mew teacher, Frank
Duffy, and I taught in the same
room. He would have a class ‘then
I would have one. Finally, during
the middle of ‘the term, we mioved
to the new building where we had
a heating plant instead of a stove.
My next move was to ‘the (Goss
Building (where the picture was
taken). Here again we had stoves
in each room and carried drinking
water from the well at the home
of William and Mary Gross. The
fires were allowed to go out every
night and we returned to school
early enough each morning to start
a new fire.
We had mo fire escapes but the
downstairs rooms had plenty of
windows and easy entrance through
big doors at the front. We had mo
Parent-Teacher (Associations, but
the parents were interested. They
would invite me to ‘their homes to
stay all might. They attended en-
tertainments and ‘teachers and
parents tried to meet each other
and know each other better.
‘We had no snowplows, The roads
were filled from fence to fence with
drifted snow—enormous high drifts.
Horses land sleds went around
through ‘the fields and men, not
snowplows, shoveled the drifts.
In the spring the dirt roads had
deep sink holes so transportation
and travel by foot was slow, and
thawed out in front of the pot-
bellied stove before we began
school, Thiose were ‘the days of bob
sleds, not warm heated busses.
Dallas Township was just then
beginning to consolidate its schools.
Kunkle still had a school; all other
pupils came to the Goss School.
Many had long walks from East
and West Dallas and Demunds
many did mot live along the route.
I recall many humorous ‘incidents
involving the boys and girls I knew
with my lown regular schools and
my years of substitute teaching in
Northmoreland, Franklin, Jackson,
Dallas and Kingston Townships and
in Dallas, Plymouth and West Wy-
oming Boroughs,
I might be classed as one of the
veterans of the Back Mountain area
along with the circuit riders of the
early churches, but ‘those school
days— “Good old golden rule days”
were a wonderful experience. I
might be pictured as “Little Old
Lady [Crossing the Street” only my
grey hairs are few and there are
still flour I cam, point to as my tea-
chers: Mr. and Mrs. Job Hadsell,
Beaumonlt, (Mrs. Hadsell was my
first teacher; Mr. Hadsell, my sec-
ond); Mr. John S. DeGraw of Thur-
ston, and my last teacher, Grace
Love LaFrance of Meshoppen who
