Pearl Creek School District Teacher: Lois M(ay) Purdy (assisted by her sister, Harriet M(argaret) ["Hattie"] Purdy) Lois Purdy, (1904-1979) and her sister Harriet describing their experience teaching at Pearl Creek School, S.D. No. 1048, from May to December 1924, as well as a small collection of letters written to them the next year by former pupils. Actually, Lois was the teacher; her older sister Hattie came to keep her company and assist. A third sister, Muriel, visited and took pictures - at least I think she was the photographer. These include outside views of the school - one from a distance, pictures of Lois and Hattie in the teacherage doorway, one of Lois at her desk, and two group pictures of pupils in attendance, one of which was taken at a school picnic. Pupils are not individually identified, but their names appear in the letters. Pupils are not individually identified in the photos, but surnames mentioned in one of the letters are: Meyer, Lang, Thomas, Litzenberger, Gorecki, Goveronski, Zaleski, Zimmer, Lipinski, Willidol, Hoffman, Haas, Welz and Rutherford. There were 4 Lizzies, 3 Katies, 3 Evas, 2 Tinas, 2 Willies, 2 Philip Litzenbergers, 2 Louies, 2 Franks, 2 Johns, and 1 each of Ella, Emma, Margaret, Lillie, Sophie, Joe, Jacob, Herman, Fred, Amil, Reinhold, Harry, Mary, Martha, Barbara, Tillie, Adam and Cecil. A note on the back of one photo and subsequent letters make it possible to match up some of the above names and add a couple: GAVERONSKI, Eva GORECKI, Joe HOFFMAN: Lizzie LANG: Tena LIPINSKI: Frank, Lizzie MATWIJ, John MEYER: Amil, Ella, Emma, Fred, Martha, Reinhold.
