Pioneer school
Fairview School dedicated
Oscar Peterson and Roy Lieuallen look at
Fairview's stone plaque. q.j poto)
County School Superintendent Matt Doherty introduced
others on the program and special guests at the dedicatory
ceremonies on Brenner Canyon Road last Saturday
afternoon.
Although the pioneer Fairview School stood on land given
by Milton Morgan's father, the large boulder which holds the
bronz plaque prepared and presented by Oscar Peterson is
located on the fence line between Morgan land and Peterson
land and very close to the road.
More than 60 attended the program which was opened by
Gene Rietmann's skillful rendition of the National Anthem
(with a surprise vocal accompaniment from Oscar's dog).
Pastor Gus Nikander gave the invocation. Superintendent
Doherty pointed out that this occasion was a bicentennial
event and that it was worthy of Oscar to perpetuate a symbol
of early education in the county.
When the school was opened in 1890 it contained 57 pupils.
Fairv iew was one of the more than 60 elementary districts in
the county before it was consolidated with the lone schools in
1939.
As a representative of the board of the Morrow County
Historical Society, WAV. Weatherford welcomed guests and
said a few words about the importance of early schools.
Judge Peterson recalled his eight years at Fairview which
was only in operation six months a year then.
"It was not just a school it was a community center. We
had many activities here. Sunday School met here; contests
were held with other schools, especially with Gooseberry
School. The spelling bees and debates were attended by all
the families in the area," Peterson said.
Former board members present who were honored
included Roy Lieuallen, Roy Ball and Oscar Peterson.
Chancellor Roy Elwayne Lieuallen said how pleased he was
to be present and to help honor his father and the other board
members. He pointed out that the men of the community not
only gave the land, built the school, kept it up, cut and hauled
the heating wood for it and often hauled water to it, but they
also hired and fired the teachers and boarded them in their
homes.
The chancellor pointed out that Oregon's pioneers were
family folk and were primarily farmers not gold seekers or
exploiters of animals, fish and timber as the pioneers of our
neighboring states. These farmers and family folk were
quick to build schools and churches. He recalled Fairview as
he know it during his eight years there, describing the
building, the cistern and barn, the playground teeter-totter
and the baseball diamond that had its third base out in the
road.
Dr. Lieuallen was so pleased to greet old classmates from
lone High School mentioning Charles O'Connor, "Swede
"Buster" Carlson, Ken Smouse and others. He pointed out
that 50 per cent of his lone class was there.
Mr. and Mrs. Ross Christman (Ruth Morgan) brought
along a picture of the school and its pupils taken before 1900
when Ruth's mother Fern Orcutt was the teacher there. The
picture was taken by Mike Galloway, an early Heppner
photographer.
As the chancellor dedicated the monument, he
acknowledged the good work being done throughout the state
by the county historical soc ieties.
