ot Mias Hargua. "She a a good teacher.** he
says. ' She’s pretty, and she wears pretty
clothes.’* John also says that, "he's super good
at math,'' and that Miss Hargja already has him
doing his tunes tables
John and his little brother, Michael get along
famoualy and enjoy riding Butch and Sally,
feeding their calves, and playing with their two
cata, Tom and Jerry. They also have a big gentle
German Shepherd named Bear Michael,
though, is somewhat intimidated by the big dog
and just can’t quite pronounce his name correctly
yet. Once when Bear innocently stuck his cold
nose on his hand. Michael came running around
the house holding his “poor maimed'' extremity
and yelling, "Bee - Bee • Oooh - Oooh!” It ian’t
difficult to see, however, that once the huaky
Michael gets a few more months of growth on
hun, ' Bee’' will be pronounced correctly as Bear
and he will be the one to do a little intimidating,
as he resembles a football player in the making.
For now, though, he is happy to bounce his big
rubber ball and try for the basketball ho*>p
behind dad's shop, while big brother, John
actually makes many of those basket shots
Another thing that really goto him excited is
when ha sees a Shell gasoline sign Everytime he
sees one he yells. "Pa ■ Pa! ', thinking that it is
where he’ll find his grandfather, who owns
Pommy Shell Station in Garland Though he
won’t find him al every Shell station, he can be
sure to find dad when he’s at home, because
he’ll be doing three of his favorite things
working in has home office,’ surrounded by
Jeanne's hanging plants, simply walking out
back looking at the calves and horses, or working
in his shop
"The workshop is a tinkerer’s delight, says
Ben It used to be an old dairy barn and is where
he works on many of lhe items that go into
renovating their dream house
"getting to be an Ag teacher meant learning U>
be sort of a Jack of all trades. ’ he notes, so
they all come in handy with working around the
house ”: bookkeeping, veterinary skills, carpen-
try. and electrical skills He has already installed
four old fashioned ceiling fans and a new
dishwasher tn lhe house and looks forward to
painting it. inside and out
.And m addition to making their lovely old
house look as good as new. Ben has brought two
sentimental things from his family’s old home
place, his mother s old black iron cauldron and
his father sold, small, while, wood frame office
building
His mother washed out a lot of clothes and
rendered lard in the old heavy black kettle And
after each lard rendering, the family would put
potatoes m the ashes around the pot and eat hot
baked potatoes and fresh cracklins
As for his father's old office building, (It is
approximately Nft x Mft I Ben could never l>ear to
part with it He first cut it down and moved it to
Terrell years ago and used it for storage When
they were ready to move to Marvin, he started to
leave it, because it was so much trouble
However, sentimentality won out and he
incredibly moved his neighbor s fence, his own
fence, jacked up the little structure, built a trailer
under it. bolted the trailer to a pick-up truck and
moved it anyway! And m Marvin it sits on lhe
edge of a green sweep of lawn behind a two
story, Dutch Colonial 'dream house”., close to
the old home place It is a silent testimony to the
pull of the past, the hope of the future, and the
son. Louie Ben Coker, who is now living that
hope and wanting to pass it’s tall secreLs on to
those he would lead, in his personal life or as
principal of Detroit High School
"We must get down to the business of
educating our children.’’ he exhorts And
certainly, one of his objectives at the school is to
develop a curriculum that will best suit students
needs. W hether one is going to college or into a
specialized vocntional trade, he would like to see
a curriculum that would allow each individual a
sure step by step approach to realizing his goals
He also plans to encourage an atmosphere
wherebye each student will have an opportunity
to be reinforced at home by what is being
instilled at school In other words, he hopes to
work closer with individual parents to ensure
that each Detroit High School student has every
opportunity to succeed
Ben Coker, new Detroit High School Principal,
holding on to the values of lhe past, while
looking to lhe future, and living in the present
the way few men succeed in doing back home
