When elementary school students lined up outside the little red school house in 150 Mile House, summoned by the old-fashioned bell beside the door, they took on the character of a local pioneer. They donned costumes and assumed the mannerisms of students of the era, including standing qui-
etly in the aisles beside their seats, calling their teacher Ma’am, bowing and curtsying and answering questions in complete sentences. “This building opened in 1896,” explains Audrey Dye. “Before that, there was a little school on the hill, donated by a rancher. It was a small, unused stable with a sod
roof. The chimney smoked, there were no windows and it was dark, dank and smoky. Parents didn’t want their children in that building so they got together and built this one. See CLASSES Page A3
