...oldtime pupils showed up this month for a weekend of reunion and reminiscence-and celebration of a kind of education that is vanishing from the American scene. Lucy Blachly (now Mrs. Ernest F. Smith of Chico, Calif.) and the school's first teacher, Norine McDonell, 82 (now Mrs. Roman Zeller of nearby Kalis-pell), recalled how farmers petitioned the county to open the school in 1904 for the valley's 26 children, including year-old baby Alma McClarty and Henry Dietrich, 19.
