PEOPLE Through the years there were as many as 93 school districts in Bollinger County. At first, they must have been numbered in the order in which they began. Later, a systematic order was used in numbering them, with the Garner District in the northeastern part of the county being No. 1 and going westward, progressing back and forth across the county. They were: Garner. Tip-Top. Conrad. Alliance (Johnson). Heitman, Pine Hill, Rose Bud. Smith. Hammertown, North Patton, Buck Creek. Probst. Roe. Sedgewickville. Flatwoods, Patton. Henson, Pine Union, Barber, Green. Seabaugh, Mayfield. Limbaugh, Hartle, Bollinger, James. Hurricane. Hawn. Trace Creek. Bessville. Shrum. Cedar Branch, Scopus. Hahn, Hamestring. Lone Grove, Union Ridge. Cross- roads. Oak Mound, Glen Allen. Prospect. Beal, Pound. McKelvy, O'Possum Creek, Lutesville. Marble Hill, Thornburgh, Hog Creek. Laflin, Rev- elle. Dry Creek, Gregory. Grassy. Burk, Little Vine. Patterson. Cane Creek. Sylvan. Seiler, Leopold. Council Ridge. Drum. Glennon, Johnson, Clubb Creek. Eaker. Buchanan, Pond Creek, Myers. James. Greenwood, Schlatitz, Dongola, Goose Pond Hill, Baker Hill. Ladd, Hall. Gipsy, Jamison. Fish, Cox. Greenbrier, Woodlawn, Stepp. Snake Bluff. Sturdivant, Gille, Turkey Creek. South Liber- ty, Cross Roads. Zalma, and Lutesville. people 25 These schools were all consolidated into the four schools that are now is existence in Bol- linger County: Woodland. Meadow Heights, Zalma, and Leopold.

The earliest schools in Bollinger County were made possible with money subscribed by parents of the children who attended. That money paid the teacher's salary and provided fuel for heating the build- ing. Books were furnished by the pupils and the furnishings of the building were provided by the patrons. The term seldom exceeded six months and students could attend until they had completed all available books, until they found employment, or just quit school. Isaac Martin Aldrich is credited with starting what was probably the first school of that type in this county. Soon after he and his wife. Bessie, came to live at a site eight miles north of Marble Hill in 1858. they built a log house as a temporary home for the first winter. Later when a more substantial house was built for his family, he gave the log structure to be used as a schoolhouse for his and the neighbors' children. From that subscription school, the Cedar Branch School Dis- trict evolved and is considered the beginning of public education in Bol- linger County. Job High Schools came into existence in the early 1930's. They were governed by a law that appropriated extra money to pay an addi- tional teacher for the ninth and tenth grades in the rural districts. Such schools were conducted at Sedgewickville. Patton. Grassy. Scopus and Stepp (Greenbrier), and perhaps other places in the county. From these, first class high schools were soon developed at Patton and Sedgewickville. As early as 1893. a movement was underway in Marble Hill and Lutesville to raise the standards of the two schools. An article in the Marble Hill Press early in that year pointed out the inadequate facilities in both school systems and proposed combining the two districts into one and building a good brick schoolhouse of six rooms (for $6,000) in keeping with our fine courthouse.” The site suggested was just east of the old bridge abutment on the east side of Crooked Creek. The ex- pense for conducting such a school, with the total assessed valuation of the two districts estimated at $225,000, was thought to be no more than $210 per month and a term of ten months was recommended. What became of the plan is not known, but each of those two schools, as well as most others in the county remained as individual units for many decades. Some of the smaller rural units consolidated with larger schools near them, but a complete reorganization of all schools in the county did not come about until nearly 100 years after the county's first subscription school began in 1858. By 1945, Missouri had built new roads, growth in prosperity im- proved most of the rural schools or closed them and the yellow school bus was a familiar vehicle on the public roads. Moreover. we had a new constitution that had a major impact on our schools. It sounded the death knell of the little red schoolhouse and mandated the establish- ment of enlarged high school districts. SENIOR CLASS Row 1 - Shelby Doerhoff, Bev Winchester. Jana Pridemore.

 o 5 H co CLASS The fifty-five members of the 1987-88 graduating class of Woodland High School had a very busy' year. In addition to the normal classwork, they sold candy, magazines. Tom Watt, and worked at the senior stand for credit for the senior trip. Many decisions had to be made about what they would be doing for the rest of their life. Students filled out ACT forms, used the computer programs to study for the ACT and spent an exhausting day taking the test. They became inter- ested in grants, loans and applying for scholarships. Many students attended College Day and visited vari- ous colleges striving to make the best decisions about which college to attend. Other students made plans to get a job or to get married.
