by women and three winter months taught by men. The teacher had no definite boarding place, but was put up at first one place and then another within the community and served much the same purpose as Icabod Crane had in the Sleepy Hollow region of New York state, a kind of a traveling gazette, carrying the whole budget of local gossip from house to house. In 1865, the boys returning from Southern battlefields, it was decided to build a frame building. It was a one room structure built where the present school house stands. It was used until 1909, when it was purchased by James M. Hickenbottom, moved to its present location, two houses west of the Lutheran church, and remodeled for a home. Several times there were seventy or more students enrolled in that one room school house. Lockridge's third school building was constructed by Albert Larson 8x Sons in 1909. It was a one story edifice of two rooms. In 1917, when a three year high school was begun, another story was added and in 1929, increased enrollment in what had been changed in 1927, to a four year high school necessitated a twenty-four foot addition on the west which was built by V. O. Sodergren. On April 11th, 1932, a fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the building. Sanctioned by an almost unanimous vote of the people, the members of the school board, C. N. Mickey, President, L. E. Boos, Leroy Linn, A. R. Littleton and C. A. Rauscher, supervised the construction of our fine, modern building. An attempt has been made by the 'tGolden L stat? to compile a complete list of those who have taught in the Lockridge schools. The records before 1909, have not been preserved and probably some names have been omitted and some inserted where they did not belong. We have tried to arrange them in the order of their service. If mistakes have been made or names omitted, perhaps a future staff will rectify the errors. In point of service Miss Caulk has served nine and onewhalf years, and Mr. Weston nine years, the longest periods of which there is any record. Others who have taught for several years are Miss Clark, Mr. Calkins and Mrs. Scheafer, six years, Miss Laceja Montgomery, five years, Fay Boley, Grace Roberts, Francis Millane, and J. D. Vest, four years. We have names of ninety-seven teachers and probably have omitted several so that over one hundred men and women have weilded the birch over the heads of local pupils in the eighty-tive years since the first school bell called shiny laced boys and girls from play.
