School Room May 15, 2009

The schoolhouse honors a Payson teacher, Irene Colvin Corbett, who had left teaching to train to become a nurse. After receiving her training, the Payson teacher boarded the infamous Titantic and never returned to Utah again. The school room shows you how a school room would have looked in 1901. Children helped raise the flag outside, led the pledge of allegiance, said the prayer, cleaned the boards and erasers, etc. It gave the kids a sense of responsibility.
