In my post articles, I have said many a time that Petersburg and the community have the best class of people that you will find any where I have been . Braving sand storms here for 77 years , you couldn 't run me away from here with a pack of hounds.

Well , I am still hobbling down that road of life and I can see that 89th mile post coming into sight . I take time every now and then and th ink about how th ing s were about th is t ime of year in 1909. When I arrived in Petersburg fo r the first time , there were no church houses A small , two-room school build ing served as a school house, church house and a comm uni ty cente r Wells and windm ills were the ir source of water with no Inside plumbing The both room s were

out in one corne r of the ba ck yard and an old time wash tub In the kitchen on Saturday night. The hot water came from a tea kettle heated on the cook stove fired with cow chips.

The lighting system was coal oil lamps using a nickle a gallon coal oil.

Our source of milk and butter didn 't come from the freezer counter of a grocery store, they came from a bunch of milk cows like the U.S mail , no matter how bad the weather , the milking had to go on .

Papa didn ' t go to the drive in to get his morn ing coffee . He 'd sit behind a cook stove while Mamma got breakfast and drank it . But most of the time, he was out at the barn tak ing care of the livestock , feeding them or out breaking the ice in a tank so they could get a drink . Then he ate his breakfast while the stock was eating theirs .

As soon as breakfast was over, he was out putting on the harnen and heading for the field, if he was a business man, he headed for his place of business and stayed there from sunup to sundown . There were no nine·until-five hours in those days. If you were a real good hand, you might get from one dollar or maybe two a day. I remember when I was living in Missouri in 1905, my daddy hired a Mr. Jack Waters to work as a form hand. He was to get nine dollars, including board and laundry, per month. That was standard wages for a farm hand.

At that time, they could buy shoes for a dollar and a half on up, a pair of overalls for less than a dollar a pair. In the early

'.>

days you 'd go to the Powers cafe and get a hamburger and a soda pop for a dime or a steak, chicken fried, for thirty-five cents . Once in a while he would put on a hot special , six hamburgers for a quarter . When World War I came on, that put the price of hamburgers up. Also , it did away with curb service at the drug store, so many people got Government jobs that help got scarce. Hardly enough to do what had to be done so curb service was dropped.

So many of the able young men were in the Service, it was hard to get anything done any where . War IS a bad thing , I was In World War I and I know what they are . I am the only veteran that went from Petersburg to World Wa r I left here.

There were ten children in Daddy and Mother's family . I am the only one left so I feel like a lone wolf .

I will give you the names of some of the folks that got this town started off : Uncle Edd M. White was the first to open up a store , Mr. l. W. Elliott bought out Mr . Whites store , two brothers by the name of Nix put in a Hardware store and later on, Mr . White bought the Nix store. later on, it was moved from East 2nd to Main Street and Ave. G where the True Value building stands. It was put there in 1908. That was the beginning of our present Main Street .

So Edd M. White, Henry White , l. W . Elliott, T.l. lindsey, Abner Bourin , ludd Sourin , and the Nix brothers were the bunch of men that started the town at the north end of East 2nd Street from 1902 until 1908. About 1907, a man called Mr . Charlie Schuler , Sr . came here and bought a farm just east of the Petersburg town site, built a home and a cotton gin just East from where Charlie Schuler, Jr . now lives. The Mayberry 's put in a lumber Yard about where the Suits property is now located. The first church building was built in 1910 by the Church of Christ people. In 1911 , the Baptist people built their church building . The first building was torn down and the modern one took its place. Roy McDaniel opened up the first garage in 1915, sold the first gasoline from a fifty gallon drum. He later hod the first gas pump located on his garage porch.

Bye, Bye, I love every one of you.

I ••• Written By Ruth Holladoy

And it came to pon in thole days when Marcus was governor of Texas that there went out a decree from his office·and he called unto himself the rich young ruler of industry and economics a nd did soy, "My friend , you must, this day, turn

, from the kingdom of computers . Go ye unto all the land and learn the mysteries of the public school. " And verily , Ross Perot , as he was known, did take unto himself a Select Committee, and that Sanhedrin did journey forth into the valley of the shadow of death and did ponder on what they did see. And when they returned with the Word , it was that they d id weep and wa il and gnash their teeth and say, " Woe unto all of us, for Texa s education doth go to Purgatory in a hand basket ."

And they did set forth re commendations and sU9ges­tion s to lobby ists o f great note . And then it did come to pass that the governo r spoke unto the law makers, o 'ld he did so y, " Men and brethren, blessed are you who do labor long and if you would have eternal life, you must ena ct this 72nd Bill of the House ." And the foolish of the virg in leg islators did borrow oil and tr im thei r lamps and work into the night, crying , " Behold , the Speaker of the House cometh . "

And then the time was come when they did announce unto the people of the land, " This shall be the low and covenant," and they did all odd at least a cubit unto Chapter 75 of the Gospel to procla im that many would know , but few would enter , through the hallowed door of hi gh er edu cation .

And a sal ary schedule was ca rved upon tablets of stone ­and superintendents did soy unto faculties, " Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people except those among you who counsel and administer . And its name shall be called 'Career ladder'. " Then the counselors and administrators did say in a loud voice , "What must we do to be included? " But they were made to feel like publicans and sinners , and they went away, sorrowing.

Then the first and greatest ommandment was voiced

ocrolS the land , a nd .... 01

likened unto th is Wo 'lIm who doth not p ms, fo me shall not play ' A,,,, he coaches did ho' nf" ",he word of the lo w, they did say, " Verily, the speaker must come to us with the jawbone of an ass." Butthe Word was Lawand dwelt among them .

And a miracle d id come to pass-- not a chang ing of wat"!r to wine --but of TABS to lE AMS And the State Bou rd of Education d id sit togethe, at the Right Hand and did Interp ret the law and did pronounce that there should be instrum entat ion and documentation , but tha t mastery level s cou ld be lowered by a majority o f those wh o could legally vote on Adm iss ion , Review, and Dismissa l.

It was then that the eX it -l eve l test was designed and held ­tested and sta ndard lzed-- ond those in high place s were pleased an d took p leasure th at many of the 11th grade studen ts would fa il-- and wi th th em the teachers and the school s should be made to know defeat . But when the tests were administer­ed and the results decla red , few were those who d id not pass, and the detractor s d id say, " Verily, the test was too easy"

Through the year , the scribes and teachers and othe r wise men of the state did come to speak in unknown tongues-- and their language did procla im of TABS and TEAMS and DMP and TECAT and TSTA and ATPE and PTA and ESC and SBOE and ARD, and it was known throughout all the land that education did now consist of on alphabet soup that would feed the 5,000

But detractors did cont inue, " If students did pass th e test, then we must also test the teachers " and the teachers d id go to the Wise Men of the East and soy, " Teach us to show ourselves approved on the wr iti ng sample," until at last they could raise their voices in a glorious psalm and respond, " Ask me what great things I know! " And March 10 was set aside, when all should come together to be examined and to worship the standardized test, but to that multitude, a voice came f rom heaven saying, " Fear not, for when two or more of you teachers are gathered together, blessings shall be upon you ."

Teacher Says Better Schools Must Start

With Parents The following article was

printed in the lubbock · Avalanche Journal and submitted to the Petersburg Post by Yvette Greene.

Editor , Avalanche-Journal : The public would find new

respect for school teachers if each adult had to serve a brief hitch in the public schools. Those who spend their working days among adults have no conception of the stress involved in educating adolescents.

Teachers are special. Most adults couldn 't stand to live in a world of zits, gum, gross insecurities, games and insatiable hunger; a world where lads proclaim, "We're men, not boys, " then go down the halls yelling at the top of their lungs, "Yaw-w·w·w-w!"

The student population divides into three general categories, of which serious students fortunately comprise the largest. These kids rea"lize ·they are in school to learn, and are blessed with surprisingly

competent teachers. The second group doesn 't

care if the sky falls , and likely wouldn 't know if it hod; thei r chief ambition is to successfully imitate a loaf of bread before middle age sets in .

The third segment is composed of youngsters who do their utmost to disrupt the learning process for everyone, because their parents told them directly or by implication, "Behave like peach orchard shoots!"

If you want better schools, start doing a better job at home. Goin control of your k ids. Variety stimulates, and for some of you

this will be such a smashing/y new experience you may be estatic.

After control is established,

send your offspring out the door with the porting words your parents used: "Get in trouble at school and you'll be in worse trouble at home." Impose sever. penalties for failing grades. You'll be surprised how competent those teachers really I
