1926-27 – Teacher - Emma Freehling
  1. Don Boyd
  2. Alice Crabtree
  3. Ethel Crabtree
  4. Lloyd Crabtree
  5. Dorothy Ritchey
  6. Marlin Ritchey
  7. Tom Ritchey
  8. Wayne Ritchey

Memories: Beginning of school there were Don Boyd and we three Crabtrees. Soon four Ritcheys – Dorothy, Marlin, Thomas and Wayne. I suppose they had started school at Prairie Bell. The MacDonalds left for Missouri (Fordland?). Ethel wrote to Edna for many years. The day they left, they drove by the school at recess time and waved and waved. They were in a Model T ford with 5 kids and their clothes. They had a long trip ahead of them – for those days’ cars.

I guess – looking back – Don Boyd was there in school. It must have been that the Barbers (newly weds, I think) Don Boyd with them, had moved in as the MacDonalds moved out.
