May 22. Friends called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Barrows on Brownsboro road. Mrs. AHins is retiring after teach ing 22 years, all but two years in Jackson county. Mrs. Hazel Beebe Atkins was born in the Beagle area in 1895. She was graduated from the Agate High school, then located on the Table Rock road just east of Mid way road. She started her ca reer by teaching the primary grades at the Meadows school while a junior in high school and at the Griffin Creek school when a senior. After graduation she mar ried William Atkins and her time was soon being occupied by their three sons, Leonard, Melburn, and Everett. While the boys were quite young and all still in grade school, her husband died.

Mrs. Atkins taught the 5th through 8th grades. Don and Ed Kimmel, Marjorie Warrick and Mrs. John (Lorraine Glea aon) Benson were four of her students at that time. ; Mrs. Benson recalled that at noon and recess the teacher remained in the school house teaching them to play the piano, and returned a piece of sheet music at the Tea Sun day afternoon. Another favor ite pastime was having a pic nic supper down at the river and playing in the sand by the lights of the car. "I just honked the horn if one of them strayed outside of the lights and they came right back," she stated, "and we didn't once have an accident Mrs. Atkins moved to east ern Oregon where she taught grades 5 through 9 for two years, driving daily on roads that were narrow, slick, and contained sharp curves.

Salt Creek joined with Brownsboro the,' first year giving her 16 youngsters in 3chool, and fram that year on her average number of stu dents totaled about five with four or five grades represent ed. Mrs. Atkins commented that the community was very cooperative, and the best pay she could receive was to have some of these youngsters come to her in later years and tell her that they had more fun and learned more while go ing to Brownsboro than any other school. She recalls only one incident where she told the youngsters she would spank them if they repeated their actions again and while she was home sick one week they proceeded to test her words. She returned to school without saying anything about it until she had gained her strength back sufficiently to carry out her promise and then keeping them in one recess, successfully carried out the promised spanking, knowing it would do no good to do just a half-way job. "That," she stated, "was the last time they ever tested the meaning of my words." Brownsboro consolidated with Eagle Point in 1953 and Mrs. Atkins moved to Eagle Point along with the students, teaching the third grade for the past seven years. Mrs. Atkins takes a personal in terest in each of her young sters, sometimes spending not only hours after school but going and getting the young sters and working with them on Saturdays and Sundays if they are not doing the work she thinks they should be do ing. It was a great challenge to her to find "the magic but ton to push" and a great re ward when she found it and could realize that the young sters were absorbing and benefiting from her methods of teaching. "I would like to tell any one who is thinking about be coming a teacher that they have to enjoy teaching, play ing, and working with chil dren and have lots of patience because it requires long and hard hours." Mrs. Atkins re marked. When school is out June 3 Mrs. Atkins plans to spend part of the summer with her sons, Leonard and Melburn, and families near Grants Pass, and also visit all 10 of her grandchildren. Her son Ever ett, was killed in a logging ac cident a few years ago. His widow, two daughters and a son live in California. Mel burn and his family live in Wilderville.
