SCHOOL, from page 1B
sounded, the students all
scrambled back into the
schoolyard. Except Margo,
who couldn't get through in
time and hid.
Realizing she was missing
a student, Miss Olsen called
roll. When Margo's name was
called and she didn't answer,
Teddy Richards helpfully
called out, "Thar she be,
a'hind the tree teacher."
The women met their
husbands at that school. Ian
McElroy, 14, was the third
generation to attend there.
Donna didn't like him a bit.
• She said he was big and
obnoxious.
Gone now, the aspens that
flanked the building bore the
carved initials of Donna and
Ian and Margo and Trevor.
When the ditch went, the
trees eventually followed.
But the 97-year-old school- :
house remains, cared for and
• used by a small community of
residents who love it.
The factual history comes
from information compiled
in "Meadow Valley School
History, " geherously made
available by Scott Lawson at
the Plumas County Museum.
Thanks to Scott Lawson,
Chuck Leonhardt, Donna
McElroy and Margo Stratton
for sharing their memories. L
Taken in 1902, this picture
shows the interior of Spanish
Peak School, which was
replaced in 1,914 with another •
one-room schoolhouse now
known as the Old Meadow
Valley Schoolhouse. The
occasion is unknown, but
clearly the community took
pride then, as now, in its
schoolhouse.
