Country School

Marjorie rode a horse to travel three miles to attend a one-room country school. There was a different teacher every year, and she lived in a two-room house known as a teacherage. During the summer, a pastor would come to the school, and there was also a summer camp. Marjorie shares other fond memories of her school days.
