Cenrrai-Medford Ashland laundry t Dry Cleaners Gressetts One Hour Martiniiing Eagle Point Eagle Point - Mrs. Floyd (Eva) McKee will be honored at a reception Sunday, April 29, by the Eagle Point Class room Teachers' association. All students, former students and their parents, friends and relatives are invited to honor Mrs. McKee who will retire at the end of this school term following 25 years of teach ing. Mrs. McKee's associates and friends believe that it is es pecially appropriate that she be honored during Teacher Career month because of the many years given to teaching youngsters in the first eight grades. Mrs. McKee says she has always liked teaching the young and doesn't advise any one to enter the teaching pro fession unless they both like and understand youngsters. "I have always stressed with children that they should learn to do what is right," she said and added "if just one person remembers-it is worth my time and effort." Mrs. McKee, born Eva Beebe, is a native of Jackson county and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Beebe, lived in the Antioch area at the time of her birth. As a child, the teacher first attended Agate, or Mound school, as it was then called; it was located on Hoover hill off Crater Lake highway in the White City area. It is now marked with a white cross, a remembrance of the time it was used for Easter sunrise services by men at Camp White during World War II. The school was re-located from time to time and is now in the Central Point district. Eva Beebe started her teach ing career at 18. Her first school was a one-room school at Brownsboro, the second was at Rogue Lands, which also was located on the desert area, and later she taught at Table Rock. All grade levels were included in these schools, and averaged 15 to 20 pupils. Raised Family After marriage, she taught three years at Beaver creek and one at Applegate. After raising a family, Mrs. McKee resumed work and was at Camp White for two years. The civilian personnel direc tor talked her into helping re lieve the critical shortage of teachers. "1 can still remem ber the day I went to Eagle Point quite clearly," Mrs. McKee recalls. "It was pour-; ing down rain when I ar rived and it was Mr. Hale's first year there also. I told j him 1 didn't know why 1 came , out, really, as 1 hadn't been in 1 school for 20 years and start-1 ed to walk out." She started j teaching at Eagle Point that year, 1944, on an emergency i certificate and remained in Eagle Point for the past 18 ; years. j She taught the seventh j grade class the first year and ; graduated to the eighth grade ; with her class. This was her i first teaching experience with a single class instead of all grades, and at one time she had 49 students. The teacher recalls one year when build ing was under way at the scnool and she taught her class in the shop building. "I had to yell over the noise and youngsters in the shop class asked their instructor, Donald McGovern, 'if she always yelled' ." At the present time, Mrs. McKee is teaching fourth grade students, she has moved to twelve different rooms dur-' ing her leaching at Eagle Poinl. After returning to her teach ing career, Mrs. McKee start-1 cd taking college courses along with her work and in 1957 received her B.A. degree.! Arithmetic has been a favor-. ite subject, and she thinks the basic fundamentals of addi tion, subtraction, multiplica tion and division are most im portant. She noted that her youngsters always showed good progress in that subject. Compares Pupils In comparing youngsters of today with youngsters she first taught, Mrs. McKee be lieves that many children to day have to be pushed lo study. They seem to shut out the things they do not want to hear, she says. This she be MINIMUM ORDER $1.90 Spotting Onlyl Teacher To lieves is due to keeping the televisions and radios blaring. The children listen when they enjoy a program and close their ears when they do not want to listen. Another con tributing factor is the lack of home work and chores at home to teach the youngsters how to accept responsibility before they enter school. "My hobby has always been children but I am ready to let someone else take over so I can get a chance to become acquainted with my own fam ily," Mrs. McKee commented. She has five children. They are daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Ritchey and two children, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Accordionist To Perform One of the top acts in the variety show which Brigham Young university will stage tonight in Ashland will be Janet Cutrer, accordionist.
