My first year at Sunflower school there were fourteen enrolled. I was
  five years old and so was the youngest student. My teacher was Margaret
  Wright. The pupils were: Frank Rackley, Ralph and Jay Groendyke, Ezma and
  Myrtle Urton, Myra and Robert Mounsey, Pansy, Louise, and Thelma Colborn,
  Madge and Alice Bayliffe, Carl Kenney, Margaret Drost, Katie Heydenrich
  and one other boy, whose name I don't remember.
     The second year teacher was Edna Drury, and about the same ones
  attended. I was the youngest again this year. One warm afternoon, the big
  kids decided it was too hot to got to school during the afternoon so they
  made the younger kids go along up the creek wading. We could hear the bell,
  but they wouldn't let us go back to school. Later, they decided we had
  better go back so we could go home with books and lunch pails. Miss Drury
  was ready for all of us. She lined us all up facing the black board from
  small ones to big boys. I was at the start, so I got one swat, the next
  got two, the next three and so on to the fourteenth one got fourteen swats.
  Then we went home.
     Other teachers I remember were Anna Carpenter, Leone Horney, Mildred
  McCracken, Cora Warren, Dorothy Stewards and Alice Walker.
     I remember other students who attended District #34 were: Peggy Collins,
  Bryon Carter, Charles Dillard, Joe and Roy Summers, Francis and Ralph
  Hayhirst, Grace Lindsey, Louise Heel, Pauline, Mary Louise and Pat Harbaugh,
  Franklin Poindexter, and Vaughn and Erwin Shepard.
     School Board members were George Heydenrich, George Urton, George Colborn,
  John Moore, Bud Groendycke, and Orren Warren.
     The first County Superintendent I remember was Lola Lichlyter and also
  Glenola Wilkins.
