Lieuallen-Broun
Wedding Aug:. 21 Cross, Nelson exchange vow
with Justine Weatherford Vv.x
Part of this column is being written on Labor Day. What do
you know about this national holiday? Sure it is the last
holiday before school begins.
After I put out our home flag, I turned to my World Books to
learn a few facts about the day, and I found much of interest
to me. I didn't realize that Oregon was the first state to make
it a legal holiday in 1887. Did you?
I also found that this first Monday in September Holiday
honoring working persons is celebrated in all of the U.S.,
Puerto Rico and Canada, In Austrailia it is called Eight Hour
Day and commemorates the successful struggle for a shorter
working day. Downunder the celebration varies from state to
state. In Europe Labor Day is May 1. President Grover
Cleveland signed the bill making it a legal holiday in the U.S.
in 1894.
No matter what our age or our background each of us must
have feelings about the things September holds many of
them tied to school days. Most of us are present or past pupils
or teachers and a few of us are present or past school bus
drivers.
Heppner's first school bus driver was Jerry Brosnan, the
Butter Creek rancher. When he was 16 and of high-school
age, his parents and their neighbors bought a bus and Jerry
was its driver. He and his brother Joe and neighbors Earl
Ayers and Gerald Swaggart puffed in toward town each
morning. As these "big-high-school guys" came along
toward town they picked up a couple of Kilkenny kids (where
Colleen K. Greenup and family live now), several Hanna kids
at the Hanna-Bennett Ranch, The Guy Boyer children at the
C. Monagle Place (where the Matt Greenups are now), the
Tom Beamer vounesters (where the Floyd Jones family is
now) and the young Kenny group that rode their horses over
there from Sand Hollow. Jerry Says Providence planned well
that older lads lived the furthest out on the route and could
gather up the younger grade-school small fry as they
progressed toward town.
The grade school children along Butter Creek were
attending Lena Grade School then only those on the town
side of Jones hill came in to Heppner Schools on this first and
several later buses.
I asked Jerry and his mother Zetta what the first bus driver
was paid. I learned that he got a few gifts of appreciation
when he graduated but his big pay was just "experience."
Now great-grandmother Zetta and grandparents Jerry and
Marian see the five fourth-generation of Brosnans, the
children of Ed and Lorraine, board the Butter Creek bus.
How times have changed!
One week after I learned about the first school bus driver
Jeremiah Brosnan, son of John and grandson of Irish pioneer
Jeremiah, I had a chat with the county's second bus driver,
Gerald Swaggart, also of the Little Butter Creek area. Gerald
said that after the students' families got the bus paid for, they
began to pay the drivers. He recalls that he was paid $20 per
month and that this big spending money led him into several
bad, extravagant habits.
Since my mind is on those drivers who made the Jones Hill,
Lena and Franklin Hill run I am remembering a few I've
known. Ray Ayers now lives in Pendleton but comes here
often. I am amused by the Ayers' present address Ray and
Kay live on Jay Street.
Although Clint Agee was not a regular driver, he often
substituted on that run. I thought we would be seeing him
again this year, but have now learned that he will not be
teaching in the county again but will teach at Camas, Wash.
Several other bus items I've just learned concern, first, our
former editor and Heppner swim pool director, Tom Franks.
Tom started driving the North Lexington bus this week.
Next, I understand that Rev. Duane Geyer will be
chauffering the bus run I know best which my husband Bill
has driven for the last five years. Well, enough about bussing.
It seems to me that this is one of the quietest days of the
year in our town. Sort of a lull before the storm of fall
activities get in full swing with the school year's start and
with dozens of organizational meetings set to begin their
yearly schedules.
