Friends called at the home of

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 enrolled at the
Ashland Normal school in
1932 and after going to school
only 18 months was graduated
In July of 1933. The next fall

she assumed duties as teacher
in her former school at Agate.
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. Dur.
ing the war years, Mrs. Atkins
left Oregon and went to Bur
bank, Calif., where she work
ed in an airplane factory for
four years before becoming
ill, requiring surgery and
two years' recuperation.

fd to Jackvm county and ac
cepted a Brownsboro school
post. 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

Wilderville. After her visits,
