Youth Are Involved in Community and School Since the beginning of time teenagers have enjoyed fun activities and being a part of things. It was that way in the small community of Hope. In the 1800's, most of the social life of the people revolved around the church. In this area, the church was the Moravian Church. Church picnics and Sunday School gatherings with the women hustling around setting baskets of warm food on the table, the men chatting in the shade, and children playing tag were the central social events. Now as then, teenagers are still active in the Moravian and other churches in the community. Some belong to 4-H and school activities. Others work part-time or help adults with services in the area. From 1866 to 1881 Hope had a Seminary for the young ladies of the community. 2

School Time Is Spent Learning and Enjoying Here and there along the winding back roads in the community stand old abandoned one-room school houses. What kind of classes did students have in these old brick buildings? What did they do during a recess? What was the school like? • The main subjects in those times were “readin’, writin’, and ’rithmetic.” They were taught to pupils of all ages who were eager enough to learn to walk miles each day. After hours of learning, they had a break or recess where they would play games and participate in sports. They played baseball, kickball, tag, and jump rope before returning to their hard wooden benches and slates. Today we learn American Literature, psychology, and Algebra at a comfortable desk and we still play baseball. Moody Gilliland pauses by the roadside for a picture with his horse and buggy. 4
