District 5 School
Built in 1940
(SECOND IN A SERIES)
By MRS. GENE LIVINGSTON
Special Correspondent
The finest school building and
the best of equipment do not
necessarily guarantee an equal
ly fine educational program be
cause the final criterion of any j
school’s success is: Are the pu- j
oils actually learning to the best.
of their individual ability?
With this thought in mind,!
let’s take a look at district 5, i
located three miles southeast of [
O’Neill and taught by Mrs. Ma- j
rie Schneider Ramold. Designat
ed as a class A school last year
and eligible for the rating again
this year, district 5 is a rural
school fully deserving of the
honor.
The school building was erect
ed in 1940, making it one of the
newer school buildings in Holt
county. The surrounding
grounds are attractively land
scaped and well fenced. A
brightly painted merry - go
round, swing3, teeter - tottc.^,
basketball, baseball and bat are
evidence that the ample recrea
tion space is well put to use.
Any district considering the
building of a new school might
do well to note the advantages
found in this plant. The large
main room seems very condu
cive to pleasant study with its
white Venetian blinds on north
windows, light oak floors, mod
ern fluorescent lighting, and its
softly tinted blue walls. The two
large cloakrooms feature stor
age space for cleaning supplies,
mirrors and comb cases to en
. courage neatness. Set off by an
archway from the main class
room is a large library alcove
containing book shelves and a
reading table, another storage
cupboard and a sand box for the
younger pupils. In a nook by the
basement stairway are the wa;h
ing and drinking supplies.
The full basement contains a
coal furnace, automatic pump,
lafge recreation tables, and a
kitchen with both a kerosene
stove and electric hot plate.
There is also a work shop with
tools for the pupils to use in do
ing simple woodworking.
But to return to the real yard
stick by which any school ;s
measured; The pupils. There is
an enrollment of 16: Mathew
Beha, eighth; Ambrose Howard,
Gene Schneider, Theresa Pribil,
Charles Mahoney, seventh; Bet
ty Jane Schneider, Pauline Ma
honey, sixth; Agnes Mahoney,
fifth; Carolyn Jean Fuhre'r,
fourth; Rosemary Mahoney, Jer
ry Beha, third; Mary Ellen Be
ha, Michael Mahoney, first; Ve
ronica Pribil, Jimmy Beha, Pat
rick Mahoney, kindergarten.
To successfully handle these
eight different grades simultane
ously requires excellent organ
ization and planning, both of
which are evident in Mrs. Ram
cld’s teaching. And to hear fifth
and sixth graders display thor
ough knowledge of “predicate
nominatives” and “verbs of be
ing” would indicate the basic
knowledge being acquired by
the pupils.
Further evidence of high
scholastic standing might be
that in the group spelling con
test held in conjunction with
nine surrounding schools, dis- j
tt ict 5 could boast of two first
place winners: Pauline and j
Rosemary Mohoney; and four
seconds: Mathew Be ha, Gene
Schneider, Agnes Mahoney and
Carolyn Fuhrer. Miss Pauline
Mahoney then went on to win;
second place in her grade at the ;
ccunty contest.
On all sides are evidences of
the creative original work done
by these courteous and friendly j
pupils. In the basement room is i
a large “puppet theater.’’ A col
orful Easter egg tree decorates i
the Library alcove. Two large'
bulletin boards are covered by
original pupil-made murals. A j
tall cardboard house, accompan
ied by paper sack masks, helps j
the younger pupils recreate j
‘The Three Little Pigs” in a
vivid dramatization.
Both teacher and pupils have
use of various educational de
vices in order to take part in as
broad a curriculum as possible, j
District 5 provides a piano, a j
complete new set of maps, a
large globe purchased just this i
year, the most recent edition of ;
Compton’s Pictured encyclope
dia, recently published text
books, Library books, radio and j
phonograph.
This highly rated school (905
points out of a possible 1,000)
reflects teh genuine interest and
e\er-present cooperation of par
ents and school board members,
E. M. Leach, Matt Beha and Leo
Schneider. Their regard for Mrs. ,
Ramold as a teacher for their j
children may be shown by the i
fact that she has sp>ent four of
her eight years’ teaching ex- ;
perience in this district.
Like the old question, “Which
came first, the egg or the chick
en?” the new question of
“Which came first, the class A
school or interested patrons?’
would be just as difficult to an
swer. It would seem that nei
ther always comes first; one
naturally leads to the other; and
when both combine the results
are truly noteworthy. More and
more of our county’s rurai
schools do possess this combina
tion and either have produced
or are producing the same fine
results.
After reading the disturbing
articles concerning our nation’s
schools which have appeared in
so many periodicals recently, it
is quite gratifying to know that
here, in our county, are some
schools still blessedly old-fash
ioned enough to believe that the
primary purpose of the school is
to teach basic knowledge; that
here are classrooms where in
dustry and orderly conduct still
are combined; and that here are

Few Objections
to Niobrara Job
The army engineers said that
“very few” objections have been
received to its decision that pro
posed flood control work on the
Niobrara river would not be
justified.
A spokesman said that Mon
day was the last day for filing
objections.
The engineers have reversed
a field report which recommend
ed a one million dollar project
of which $892,000 would be fi
nanced by the federal govern
ment and the remainder by local
interests.
Lyle P. Dierks and James W
Rooney, who recently testified
before a congressional subcom
mittee in Washington, D.C.,
made a report Monday evening
to the Chamber of Commence.
They spoke in behalf of the 98- '
