Feature Writer PAGE — The patrons of Holt county rural school district 110 (Eden Valley) at last spring’s an nual school meeting decided to discontinue school and make ar rangements for the transfer of the seven pupils to the grade school in Page. The arrangement was to apply to the 1955-’56 school year and would be considered again this year. District 110 was organized Jan uary 8, 1884, by Bartley Blaine, and the founding is recorded at the office of the county superin tendent at O’Neill. Also recorded are the original boundaries and subsequent boundary changes. The present school building was built in the early eighties. Desks made of straight boards for the top were constructed by local carpenters. A shelf was provided for books and slate. It was a number of years before the new-fangled “store desks” made their appearance. Mrs. Roy Wilson, who supplied the 1892 photograph, recalls that her father, James A. Cronk, was a school director for many years. Lucy Downey was the teacher and pupils were Judd Cronk, Cora Coover, Sylvia Cronk, Ber tha Phelps, Elsie Bradeen, Toot Bennett, Charles Cronk, Daisy Cronk (Mrs. Wilson),. Jay Bradeen and James Gans. Water was supplied for drinking from the open well at the Cronk place and the pupils took turns carrying it. A windlass lifted the filled pail to the well ledge, which was high enough to discourage the small fry from falling in. Now and then a bird or a chicken found a watery grave, but, generally, the water was very cold and very good tasting. Pupils were usually barefooted. Only exceptions in the picture are Cora Coover, Elsie Bradeen, Syl via Cronk and the teacher. The new school was built on the site of the old one and was considered the last word in style when it was erected in 1916. With the exception of John and i: I'_ M Lucy Downey was the teacher in district 110 (Eden Valley) when this picture was taken in 1892. Frank Cronk, there has been a complete turnover of patrons. These men own farms and there is a Cronk listed in the school ] census. Freddie Cronk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cronk, represents the third generation of the Cronk family to attend the same school that his grandfather attended. The old Cronk farm, under the tenure of his son, Charles, had a dam built between the school and the farm home. The dam affords fishing for the sportsmen and aids in the control of flood waters. Present school board members are Mrs. Frank Cronk, Benard Kornock and Donald Nissen. The district last year had an assessed valuation of $147,270. The school is an accredited country school, having lights and automatic heat. The transportation problem is taken care of by each family be cause most parents already have children in high school. Going to town daily did not add to the problem, but rather simplified it by not needing to go in two direc tions at the same period each day. Those attending the Page school are Rodney Kennedy, Connie and Luan Nissen, Ronnie Asher, Val jean Parks, Fred Cronk and Har lan Saltz. Patrons will have a chance to test the consolidation idea and learn the advantages and disad vantages before they are faced with a final decision. Page News Mr. and Mrs. R. D.
