Oct Four generations of a Morrow County family spoke to Mrs. Calvert’s second grade class at Heppner Elementary school Mon day, Oct. 14. Jodie Carlson, a second grader, her brother Kyle, mother Kathy, grandmother Betty Carlson and great-grandmother Dorris Graves were all present as Dorris told of life in Morrow County when she was a child. Mrs. Graves attended school in Lexington, where her father R.B. Wilcox was principal. He started the high school, adding one room at a time until there were all four high school classes, she said. Mrs. Carlson graduated from Heppner High School in 1950 and Jodie’s dad, Phil, graduated in 1974 from lone High School. Jodie’s grand father Louis Carlson, attended a one- room school in Rocky Bluff until it closed in 1939 when he was in the third grade. Mrs. Graves, who was bom in 1911, between Lexington and lone, said that in the mountains the schools often didn’t open in the winter because of the harsh conditions and the difficulty of travel. Women did all their own baking, including bread, and men did the farming. 'Ihe farming season was shorter because of the weather and the dependence on horses and plows, so they weren’t able to farm as large of areas as they do now. Clothes were made of natural materials, so they had to be ironed. And, because there was no electricity in the area 50 years ago, ironing was done with an iron heated on the stove. People relied on kerosene lamps for light. At one time there were around 60 one-room school houses in the coun ty, said Mrs. Graves. Because travel was by horse and buggy and roads were not that good, it took too long to drive students very far to school. The district was consolidated by the late 1950s according to district reports. Mrs. Graves stressed the impor tance of reading, saying “ people might take away your shoes. They might take away your hat. but they can’t take away what you have learn ed.” She also encouraged the young people to talk with senior citizens and visit the Morrow County Museum and Heppner Library to leam about times past. “ They have a wealth of information,” she said. * .
