History comes to life at Tarkington
Karen Lathan, vocational student at Tarkington High School,
works at an IBM computer station in the lab.
Students are preparing
TARKINGTON — Students in
the vocational program at Tar-
kiogton High School are pre-
Ming for personal business
success after graduation.
. • Forty students are enrolled in
’Denise Johnson’s microcom-
puter and office administration
class.
• 4 Several of these young ladies
are working in Cleveland.
; Mindy Willis is using the skill
,of the 10-key calculator at her
■ 'work place. She said that it was
good to learn how to do that in
•class and then use it at work.
“Knowing phone communication
skills also helps,” she added.
. When you see these students
tt^und school, you know that
!tney are sincere about their
"jobs. Appearance ranks high on
- ;their list.
But it isn’t all work and no
'play for these students. Lear-
ning to be active members in
"the BPA (Business Profes-
sionals of America) is also a
part of their training.
“Plans are to go to area state
and national contests,” said
Johnson. Also at the end of the
xshf^ar activities are centered
round an end-of-the-year ban-
^quet.

Millard’s marketing
>'%id distributive education class
[tjs another of the vocational
classes at Tarkington. Fifteen
« ; students are enrolled in this
program and they too are busy
in stores in Cleveland and the
surrounding area. “Students
study accounting, advertising,
merchandising, credit and col-
lection, promotion, and selling,”
Millard said.
Marty Harrell says that lear-
ning to cope with pressures at
school help him in coping with
pressures at work. “I learn
through juggling my time bet-
ween homework, being involved
in extra curricular activities, res-
ponsibilities at home, and
keeping up with my work
schedule,” he said.
The marketing education pro-
fessional club is known as
DECA (Distributive Education
Clubs of America). A “Wall of
Honor” has been created in the
classroom to recognize emp-
loyers who have provided jobs
for these students. Students are
employed in Cleveland, Dayton,
and Kingwood. Working is a
mandatory requirement in order
to be in the program.
Next time you go down State
Highway 321 and FM 163, look
for the “Employer of the Week”
sign that is posted there. This is
just one of their projects. Millard
said they will take a field trip to
The Art Institute of Houston and
possibly the Galleria. At the end
of the year they plan to host an
“Employer Appreciation Dinner.”
TARKINGTON — Twelve
young Tarkington residents from
the 10th-grade English honors
class at Tarkington High School
took a field trip Dec. 18 to find
out about “our town” after
reading Thornton Wilder’s Our
Town.
Since history books haven’t
recorded about the early days of
Tarkington Prairie, the first stop
was the Sam Houston Regional
Library and Research Center in
Liberty where students were
shown historical records about
Burton Tarkington and other
early settlers who first came to
“our town.” Students Doug
Goforth and Rex Johnson were
equally impressed with all the
records which are stored in a
constant temperature setting
within the archives.
And because Wilder men-
tions different denominational
churches in his drama, next
stop for the group was the his-
torical marker at Oak Shade
Baptist Church telling of the
formation of that membership.
Then a visit through the
cemetery revealed names of
early residents whose descend-
ants still live in the area today,
just as Wilder reminds his
audience that names in the
cemetery of Our Town match
those of his local residents.
Still making comparisons,
students visited the hub of ac-
tivity in the early days: the old
Well’s Store on State Highway
321. Students were given a tour
through the store by the present

Inside the old Wells' Store are Tarkington students Cody Barr,
Angela Kirkham and Bruce Hightower.
owners, Lawrence and Donella
Going. The store was a center
for visits and exchange of local
news.
The historical marker out
front of the store says the old
Nacogdoches-Lynchburg Trail
crossed here. Even in those
early days there was a general
store on the property. The store
has changed owners approx-
imately six times over the years.
After lunching at the Crump-
led Straw, next door to the old
store and a popular place round
“our town” today, students
visited J. and Susan Rice in the
Rice Community and saw pic-
tures of the moving and res-
toration of their home. The
house one belonged to the Jett
family descendants of Burton
Tarkington.
Another stop was to see a log
home built by the father of T.J.
Simmons, which is unique be-
cause of the perpendicular ar-
rangement of the logs.
Last stop was to see the old
East Tarkington school, now
only a shell, but still standing as
a reminder of schools in the
early part of the century.
Back at school, Kellie
Breazeale said that she never
realized that Tarkington Prairie
was such an interesting place.
Neva Rice, who accompanied
the group as a tour guide,
summed it up when she said, “It
is interesting, and we should
realize that those people who
came and established homes
put great emphasis on the churc-
hes and schools.”
Mrs. Rice says that although
she is not a native Tarkington
resident, she has done ex-
tensive research in the history
of the area and finds it an ex-
tremely fascinating place.
Andrew Nelson, counselor at
Tarkington Elementary, and
Elva Willis, teacher of the class,
also accompanied the group.
Other class members included
Aaron Anderson, Cody Barr,
Tara Chappell, Billy Devine,
Bruce Hightower, Angela Kirk-
ham, Stephanie Purswell, An-
gela Strickland, and Janice
Youngblood.
