Show LILLIA HA EN ARM TRO FO 1 2 4 LIL: I loved that work. I was sorry when it cl ed. ut th n I \ nt right int th schoolroom and I loved that. BEC: What grades did you teach? LIL: I taught the elementary, first or second or third or fourth e n; but m tly third, I believe. BEC: So you never got into fifth and sixth? LIL: No, I never got up that high (laughs). BEC: I bet you were a good teacher; I bet the kids really liked you. LIL: Something else you might be interested in. My son just called me yesterday. During the Depression when I wanted to go to Snow College and I could not get a job. After I graduated from high school, I tried all summer to get a job and I couldn't find one. My parents just didn't have the money to send me, but about three days before Snow College started, I went to my dad and I said, "Is there any way I could get some money to go to school? I'd like to go to school so bad." And he said, "Come with me." And he took me out into his granary and he reached up on his shelf and he had a box up there, and he said, "This is the money I was saving to pay taxes, but you may have it to go to school." I said, "But, Dad, you'll lose your farm, you'lllose your home, maybe, if you couldn't pay your taxes." And he said, "Neither can anyone else. The county can't take everybody's property. I'll be in the same boat as many others. In time, we'll get it paid." That was how I got to Snow College. BEC: And was that true? He didn't ever get in trouble with the taxes, did he? 15 |
