Delmer Goode Oral History Interview (2 of 7)
Description
In Goode’s second interview, he starts with explaining the process of gathering grain and later the gathering of the bundles of grains into structures termed shucks. With prompting from the interviewer, Goode talks about his time at the University of Minnesota. While living in a boarding house with faculty members from Minneapolis schools and the U of M, he was inspired to return to school in order to earn a Bachelor’s Degree. At this time, he had already gained some experience in the teaching field but felt he could learn more.
Further, in the interview, he talks about his experience as a principal and it was a bit unusual as he was only twenty-three years of age when he accepted the position. He proved to be competent and excelled in the position. In a different appointment in Clarkfield, MN he was the superintendent but left after two years due to be drafted into World War I. Goode describes his experience in a pragmatic manner but managed to add humor to the account. He wrote a poem about his time on a passenger ship with his fellow soldiers. Goode also reflected on his time spent in France as a private. Once discharged, he began looking for another job and landed in Corvallis due to his old teacher, E.T. Reed.
