History of Our Area - Sage Creek
As the settlement of the Randolph community began and new families moved into the neighborhood it was a natural procedure for some of the families to push farther and farther out. So other areas began to be settled even though they were only a few miles away. As travel was slow and roads hardly existed, it was more convenient to establish and maintain a school near the people. Two such schools were set up for the people who moved out from the Randolph area. One to the south was called Argyle, and the other to the north was known as Sage Creek. Each group had its ow little building which served the religious, educational and social needs of the people.
For many years short-term school were held in the homes. The little brick school house at Sage Creek was ready for use in the fall of 1909, with Arthur Dean as the first teacher and the school year had been extended from a few weeks in the winter to six months.
The teacher held a double office of teacher and janitor. A small blackboard on the wall, a little chalk, a glowing pot-bellied stove to warm the building, a bucket of water (carried from a near farm house) with a dipper, placed on a low bench provided the physical setting of the school. The classes ranged from beginner to the eighth grade.
