The next few pictures feature several of the girls from the school.

Physical education was a required class for each of the girls at Logan Academy.
From left to right: "Buttons," "Pede," Elna Haworth (married name: Robins), Yetive Stowell, and "Fritz."

Nicknames were commonly used by the girls.

The building in the background was part of the school, probably Honeyman Hall. The senior girls stayed in this building. There were two other buildings for a total of three at Logan Academy. 

Here are "Eddie" and Mildred Jackson (married name is Staley).

Mildred and Mom were roommates one year. Mildred's
 mother was good friends with my mother's mother.

This must have been taken in the spring or the fall as evidenced by the trees in full leaf as well as the light-colored dresses and hats. At Logan Academy, hats were required for attendance at church services.

Teachers at Logan Academy

The teachers at Logan Academy were very well prepared for their work. They were well educated women many of whom were from the Eastern U.S.

Here is a picture of Miss Rhoades, one of Mom's favorite teachers.She taught English and she oversaw the publication of the "Ariel," the school yearbook.

 Miss Barber was a favorite teacher of Mom's Aunt Gladys Mitchell. Miss Barber was raised in China. Her parents were missionaries in that country. Mom remembers that Miss Barber had red hair.

Pattricia McGee

Here's a picture of Patty (Patricia) McGee:

Patty's father was a doctor in the Logan area. Mom's Aunt Ellen Mitchell came from Idaho to live with the McGee family several years before this picture was taken. Ellen was training to be a nurse and studied with Dr. McGee.

Before she began her nursing training, Ellen attended Logan Academy.

"No, you won't break the camera"

The caption for this photo says, "No, you won't break the camera." How could these lovely girls worry about that?


The names listed for this photo are Ada Marcia (later Ada Marcia Hoebel Porter), Melba (not sure if she's the second or third from the left), and Helen (my mother, on the right).

Mom remembers sewing her outfit in her Home Economics class. She used black corduroy to make the hat, scarf, and skirt. She recalls that the top she's wearing was knit or crocheted by her Grandmother Mitchell. By the way, Mom got an A in the Home Ec class!

Out for a Sunday Walk

The caption for this picture says, "Out for a Sunday Walk, Pede and Ada Marcia."

The neighborhood is likely the one where Logan Academy was located. Below are links to two old photos of the school:

The Logan Library offers this picture of the New Jersey Academy, later renamed to become the Logan Academy.

Here's a color picture of the school that is part of Westminster College's digital collection. (The trees in the picture obscure much of the view of the buildings.)

You can use Google Street View to explore the area as it looks today.

Camp in Logan Canyon

Mom had fond memories of when the girls all spent a week at camp each year.

Here are Ada Marcia Hoebel and Elna dressed in their camp attire.

This is labeled "Junior Sneak." This event was only for the junior-level students and it took place at the Skidmore's Camp in Logan Canyon.

Here's a picture of the nice facility they used in Logan Canyon.
She believes this camp was owned by the LDS Church and was rented to the Logan Academy each year.
