Henrietta Jesse oral history recording Part 2
Description
Henrietta Jesse grew up and lived her entire life in Washington County. In this second interview she focuses on becoming a teacher and teaching at Green Mountain. Henrietta graduated from college with her teaching license in two years at the age of 26, before she could attend college she had to work to save money to pay for her own education. She knew she wanted to be a teacher in High School despite only attending two years of high school. The interview starts with Henrietta reading a paragraph from her story that she wrote for the Oregon Education Association, giving a brief view on her life. She then moves on to explaining her first job as a teacher for Green Mountain, a rural school 14 miles past Banks, Oregon in the hills. Henrietta taught all eight grades with a total of twenty-seven students. Living at a family's house during the week she comes across many stories regarding students, weather and local town drama. The recording is hard to hear, sounding fuzzy while the voices are also hard to hear. The recording ends at 51:00 minutes.
