Orson Clark-11/23/81 - Pg 23

Orson Clark: Well, not necessarily, I don't think.

Interviewer: Such as drama, debate, or anything like that?

Lucille Clark: He had to get home to milk the cows.

Interviewer: That's what I was thinking. I had that experience. I had to get home too, when I was going to high school. What did you like best about high school as you look back on it?

Orson Clark: Oh, I don't know. I did well in the mathematics, in geometry and the like. I remember when I graduated, there wasn't a problem in that book that I couldn't work. The kids used to come and have me help them.

Interviewer: I wish you were around when I was in high school, I could have used you. 

Orson Clark: Well, it was her brother that was my teacher.

Interviewer: Is that right? I was going to ask you what teachers you remember that had the most influence on you.

Orson Clark: Well, Loren Briggs.

Lucille Clark: He was the athletic coach.

Orson Clark: Myron Barlow. There were one or two of the opposites, but we won't mention that.

Interviewer: No, we won't. There is always that.

Ruth Knowlton: What special experiences did you have when you were in high school that you have remembered all these many years?

Orson Clark: Well, the idea that we had to get up and catch that Banberger to get to school and ride our bike at night.

Interviewer: What time did you have to catch it?

Orson Clark: I've forgotten. Around 8.

Lucille Clark: We didn't have to be there until 9.

Orson Clark: It was 9 when school started so we would catch it about 8:30.

Interviewer: So you didn't have to get up at 4 or anything like that.

Lucille Clark: To milk the cows, we did.
