Janzen and pupil Denny Wilkerson stoke up the pot-bellied stove at old Berlin school house which is temporarily in use again. (Statesman Photo). of a new classroom at nearby Hamilton Creek School. The Berlin School, which - had not been used for four years, is about 55 years old. Good Humor Prevails When classes got underway, neither teacher Janzen nor the students were so sure they were going to enjoy the radical change. However, lack of modern accom modations have now been over looked. Spirits are high and any seeming lack is met in good humor. Principal item in the huge one room building is the proverbial pot-bellied stove, which not too many years ago was standard equipment in most rural schools. Wheedled and Coaxed This particular stove has proved no exception when it comes to temperamental tantrums. Just like many movie stars, it has often been wheedled and coaxed into action. Two large , dents, on either side cf the stove, are evidence enough that more than one fire stoker yielded to temptation and gave the stove a vicious kick to get a draft started. Several members of the class report that the stove's bad reputation was remembered by many of their parents, and even grandparents, who were one-time students. But a good overhauling has solved any such deficiencies. The draft mechanism works perfectly and with a new paint job the stove has taken on a new face. Planer Ends for Fuel Unlike his predecessors, Janzen does not resort to a woodpile or wood chopping chore. Present day modes in Ihe form of planer ends supply Ihe thirsty stive. A good - sized wood conking range is an added attraction. On Friday afternoons the students en joy baking cookies or cake. They recently treated their schoolmates at lidmiitcii Ciet'k SeiiiMtl with snacks baked on the old-timer. But when the new classroom is completed in mid-November, both students and teacher will appre- ciate getting back to modern con t" Sublimity.
