There weren't enough classrooms in the old church. I was a Sunday School teacher so I brought my class to my house each Sunday morning and back to the church for closing exercises. Everyone was happy to be getting a new church.
Archer ward was united as we worked together to earn the money to pay for our new building. We put on banquets, where the sisters donated the food. The husbands bought tickets to come and eat the food their wives had cooked, washed the dishes and cleaned up the mess after. We put on shows at the school house. The one we made the most money on was, was a minstrel show presented six times in other wards. We had a magician show that did really well. Zella was Primary President and we served the dinner for the Primary stake conference. We were exhausted as we cooked the food, carried it to Rexburg, set up tables and served the dinner.
I don’t think this would be appropriate today! Eldon Robison is the first Black man on the back row Left. Norman B Erickson in the middle and Karl Grover on the far right. Most of the others are anyone's guess!
