corner so we used to congregate there and play. Touch You, Duck on the Rock, Hop Scotch, Hide and Seek, and all these games, the whole bunch of us.

Interviewer: All the cousins?

Orson Clark: Yeah, we were all cousins.

Ruth Knowlton: Run Sheep Run, Steal Sticks,....

Interviewer: Was Kick the Can then or did that come later?

Orson Clark: I wouldn't be surprised.

Interviewer: I wanted to ask you another question, going back to the home. Was there much purchased away from the home, or did the families try to grow and preserve and put up and more or less produce all their own food.

Orson Clark: Well, pretty much. You see, we always had livestock which meant we had milk and cheese and butter. We always had chickens for eggs. We always had a garden. So our living was pretty well taken care of.

Interviewer: Was there much money circulating in those days, or not too much?

Orson Clark: No sir, there was not much. The only time that I have seen less was in '32.

Interviewer: Yeah, the depression. Where would the families buy their clothes? Would they go to Salt Lake or would they make their own clothes?

Orson Clark: Oh, they would go to Salt Lake. They would use the Banberger.

Ruth Knowlton: And everybody went to ZCMI, right?

Orson Clark: That was the main store, oh you bet.

Interviewer: Coming back to school, were there any extracurricular activities such as athletics or plays or anything like that?

Lucille Clark: I'm just wondering if she doesn't have that here.

Ruth Knowlton: You say that was written by Margaret Hess?

Lucille Clark: Well, she was the one that was at the head of it. A lot of people helped her in Farmington.
