I went to Hastings in first grade, I don't know when we transferred to Lueders. But, it was early in 1st grade, the year after Leonard Younquist left Hastings.
We lived the first house north of the school behind some Batchler brothers whose names I don't remember.

In the 1920's the teacher was Mr. Herrick (father of Ralph and Herman Herrick, local merchants). Mr. Herrick would walk the approximately five miles to school each day and carry his shotgun, and on his way home in the evening he would shoot enough quail for the family's supper. Ralph told me that they ate lots of quail in those days.
That's all of the history of the rural schools that I can think of for now, if I think of anything else I will pass it along.
