Anderson believes 95 of students eager to learn Kaysville Some 10,000 Davis County students have attended classes under A. R. Anderson during his teaching career. At 65, he is making plans to retire from his profession this year. I am really going to miss the classroom next fall. I am always as excited as the young men and women on that first day of school. I guess I am peculiar, but teaching has never been work for me, but rather it has always been an opportunity and pleasure. I have always enjoyed being around kids. Mr. Anderson teaches mathematics at Davis High school, along with some assistant coaching. He and his wife Alice live at 1373 South 1000 West, Clearfield. The big change noticed by Mr. Anderson in his 44 teaching years has been the' transition from voluntary attendance to compulsory. In those days you went because you wanted to, but not many went. There are still many conscientious students who go to school because they want to, and I believe 93 percent of the boys and girls are anxious to learn. Oh, there are always a few, about a dozen, who kick over the traces, but they will make good citizens when they come to their senses. Mr. Anderson was born January 5, 1894, in a little adobe house on the east bench of Pleasant Grove. When I was six years old I started to school at rieasant Grove. My first day I shall never forget for everyone spoke a different language than 1 did. In our home we all spoke Danish and here everyone spoke English. Among hia outstanding teach- - ber. After the class, the visitor introduced himself as Dr. Joseph McKnight, dean of the Normal School of Utah. He said he was impressed with my teaching ability and invited me to join the Normal School. I am ar very grateful for his suggestion. In 1914 I entered the Normal School and became a certified teacher with a life diploma. Mr. Anderson taught first in Beaver County in a school house. He was called to the Mexican Border with the National Guard in 1916 and after returning home became principal at Syracuse. In addition to his teaching career Mr. Anderson has been very active in his church and community. The principal positions he has held include scoutmaster and scouter with a one-roo- " a v a, Davis High instructor, A. R. Anderson, Clearfield, remembers his own good teachers.
