entered Morgan Stake Academy for three successive years. She and Lucy Turner were the youngest students enrolled. She taught a summer school in North Morgan in 1889 at dhe age of 15 years. In her third year at the Morgan Stake Academy she with others were Normal Students and assisted the principal, Albert N. Tollestrup in teaching. She received normal training from him also from Dr. Jas. M. Tanner and Dr. Karl G. Maeser, president of the BYU. At one time when Brother Maeser visited her classes, he told her that she would make a splendid teacher. At 17 years of age she attended the autumn quarter at the B.Y.U. The three following years she taught a mixed school at Forterville, Morgan County. The fourth year she taught at Enterprise. The next two years she taught Primary grades a* North Morgan with summer school at Richville. Morgan Stake Academy opened Dec. 3, 1888 and was held in the upstairs rooms of the Courthouse, and later some rooms downstairs. Later the high school took the place of the Stake Academy. At this time there were 13 school districts in Morgan County with three school trustees in each district. The districts were: Peterson, Enterprise, Mt. Green, Littleton, Milton, South Morgan, North Morgan, Richville, East Porterville, West Porter- ville, East Round Valley, South Round Valley, Croydon, and later there were schools at Stoddard and Devil's Slide. In 1896 the two Porterville schools were consolidated. In 1897 Enterprise, Peterson and Mt. Green were consolidated into one school and also were Littleton and Milton made into one school. East and South Round Valley schools were closed and the two Morgan schools were consolidated into one school (1899). In 1908 the State Superintendent of Public Instruction met with the County Commissioners about county consolidation. At the next County election, Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1908, the people voted for consolidation with five school districts and a county superintendent and five school board members. The school districts of the county were consolidated into one school district to be known as the Morgan County School District. The —4— districts were to be known as the Peterson District, Milton District, Canyon Creek District, Morgan District and Croydon District. Victor R. Bohman, James Johansen, Joseph Durrant, H. B. Fry and Thomas Condie were appointed as members of the Board of Education. The first meeting of the Board was held Dec. 17, 1908 at which meeting the Board was organized with Joseph Durrant, president; Thomas Condie, vice president; H. B. Fry, treasurer, and V. R. Bohman, clerk. The first regular meeting of the Board of Education was held Jan. 11, 1909 and a regular order of business was followed. Annie S. Dickson had run on the county ticket for county superintendent at the November election and won, and so the School Board at this meeting appointed her as county superintendent, the first superintendent in consolidation. At this time she was teaching Primary Grades in North Morgan, 1907-08 and 1908-09, and later she taught the school at Richville from 1917 to 1926 and then in South Morgan from 1926-27. The next year married women were prohibited from teaching school, so her teaching years were over. But this did not discourage her. She got busy as best she could. She had sent all her children through college. She had been County Girls' Club Leader in 1918, Smith Hughes leader under County Superintendent Wm.
