Show ETHELNIEL 0 16 2 .. BEC: Uh-huh. So is there an Ephraim Elementary? ETH: Well, it was funny, when we started school we went to now allege inc th first grade. And we stayed to Snow College till we was in the fourth grade. Then we went to South Middle School through second year of high school and then back to now College for our junior and senior years of high school. BEC: Why did they have you going to Snow College? ETH: (laughs) That's where they started. They didn't have an elementary school. BEC: (laughs) It's just where the school was? It was a college then? ETH: Oh, yes. See, they were down in the basement on that first floor, the little kids were. Then we were there until we were in the fourth grade. Then we went out south and they had middle school. Then we stayed there until we were juniors, then we went back to college. Then we went to college and graduated as Snow College, Lower Division. BEC: And that was considered high school? ETH: That was considered high school. BEC: But the degree you got, the diploma says, "Snow College, Lower Division"? ETH: Yeah, that's what it says. BEC: That was just for one year? ETH: Two years, junior and senior. BEC: I see. The last two years. ETH: Kind of funny, isn't it. But we had the same teachers as the college kids did, and I think that's why they rebelled and thought we should come to Manti, because the college kids didn't want to pay more tuition than we did. Why should they and have the same classes? 5 |
