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

i A ,1 HAUSER SR HIGH SCHOOL $K -;v;,. • • ' . • i,. zZy . - .. ■: ..' . ‘ . • ■ , ■ ; ■ , Reverend Martin Hauser Founds Hope in 1829 Though school bells have been ringing in the Hope community for more than a century, Hauser is a relatively new school. The school was named Hauser in 1957 making it 19 years old. However, this is the 10th anniversary of this school building. The name Hauser came from Martin Hauser, founder of Hope. Coming to the area in 1829, he settled in the Hawcreek region and began the Moravian Church. First named Goshen, the town was renamed Hope in 1834 and has been known as thus ever since. Many items of the town have been here for a hundred years or more. The square in the center of tow n, the church building, and some old large homes are some structures that have existed since Martin Hauser’s day and age.
