Many fine works of Indian craftwork have come from Alice Spinks' loam. Mrs. Spinks began teaching native American arts and crafts in 1932. Under the guidance of OFT instructor Acee Blue Eagle, she overcame her initial fear of speaking in front ofa class, and has been part of the art faculty ever since. l really did enjoy it, but it was hard at first, she said, She later became certified to teach after taking a test from OU pro- fessor Dr. O. B. Jacobson. We've Seen the School Survive the Depression . . . When asked about l3acane's current financial problems, the Spinks were optomistic. We've seen the school survive through the Depression, and it hasn't closed yet! Mr. Spinks said. For nearly a year during the Great Depression, the Spinks were not paid, nor were any other teachers and staff members. l3acone was like one big happy family then, Mrs. Spinks said. Hard times drew the campus community together then, she said. They raised gardens and friendly Muskogee merchants extended credit. ln spite of the many changes, the Spinks are confident the college will endure the hardships and problems in the coming years. There are always good people to help aut, said Mr. Spinks. Story By Chris Stoddard 55 Years at Bacone 15
