HARDWICK GRAMMAR SCHOOL
The Hardwick Grammar School was first known as the Kingston School. The first school was located on the south side of the Kings River in Fresno County (later this area became part of Kings County) in the small community of Kingston, near the current Kings River Bridge south of Laton. The school may have been constructed as early as 1860 but soon after was moved onto property owned by Simon Hetjonk that is now in Kings County. It appears the first school attended by students in what is now Kings County was Kingston. When the railroad was laid out through the area around 1876, the settlement was named Hardwick after the construction foreman.

The community of Kingston faded and the schoolhouse was moved about 4 miles west to the town of Hardwick, although, it was still referred to as the Kingston School for several years. Following a heated battle between Kings and Fresno counties, 118 square miles of territory was added to Kings County by an act of the California Legislature in 1909. This territory lay along the Kings River and contained the location of old Kingston and Hardwick. One allegation was made that the schools would lose their funding and not be able to operate. The Kings County Board of Supervisors promptly passed a resolution stating this was not the case and that adequate funding would be available. (note: There seems to be a discrepancy as to who built the school house and it's first location. One book indicates that it was moved onto the property in Kingston from an unknown location, however, another article indicated that the old school was built by a Mr. Page who lived in Hardwick. Logic indicates that the schoolhouse shown above was probably built in Kingston by Mr. Page and eventually moved to the Hardwick site. Both Hardwick and Kingston were very near each other so that might explain why the discrepancies as to who and where it was built.)
A letter to Mrs. Dan Van Beek, dated May 22, 1967, from an eighty-three year old gentleman named Walter M. Carter, who was a graduate of Hardwick in 1898, states as follows: "A man by the name of Page owned all the land around there at the time. Page was a partner of Leland Stanford the railroad magnet. In 1893, Page decided to colonize that land so he surveyed out the town site of Hardwick and built the old schoolhouse and sold three lots in the town site. Mr. Page donated the old bell and brought it down from San Francisco. It remained in the old schoolhouse until approximately 1914 when it was moved onto a bell tower behind the new schoolhouse."

The schoolhouse that Mr. Page constructed had the appearance of an elegant country farmhouse rather than the austere square schoolhouses of that era. Mr. Elmer Gallup, a farmer in the area, scraped the area with his team and scrapers to help "Charly" King re-plot the community in 1909. By this time, Walter Gallup owned the town site of Hardwick. Mr King built stores and a bank. The bank was robbed a number of times and in the early 20th century it closed and, eventually, became a community hall.
In an interview with Ione Hooker Reed, she stated that her mother graduated from the ninth grade at the Hardwick School in 1899. She also stated that the schoolhouse that Mr. Page built was eventually purchased by Frank Johnson and moved to 1/8 mile south of Elder Avenue on 14th Avenue, about 600 feet back in the field. It was remodeled and occupied by Mr. Johnson and his wife, Hope Pyburn. Mrs. Johnson was a teacher in Armona.
From Newspaper archives dated July 17, 1896 states that Kingston school district (probably 1895/96) ws divided into the Kingston and Lillis Districts. C.A. McCourt will teach in the old district (Kingston) and Miss Grace Rider has been elected to the position of teacher for the Lillis School.
1987 April 23 There is a mention of the Wildflower School. I need to investigate because I believe that Wildflower school was one of the first schools in the Laton area. This article states that there was a program to benefit the school organ fund (Wildflower) and indicating that Miss Grace Riley, teacher of Kingston school, was in attendance and Miss Mabel Houlton, teacher at Wildflower along with parents.
1987 Aug 1898/99 Jas. Wilkinson, has secured the position as teacher in the Kingston school.
1988 May 7 J. G. Wilkinson, Principal of Kingston school, closed a most successful eight months term. There was one graduate, Robert H. Philipps, who intends to enter the High School next term. (This must be Hanford High School as Laton High School wasn't built until 1907.)
1899 Aug 3 (1899/00) Uriah S. Bock has been engaged to teach the Kingston school for the next term. (Linda's notes....I beginning to believe that there was a principal who also served as the only teacher during these years until the new Hardwick Grammar School was built in 1914.)
1903 Jan 29 1902/03 Kingston School District's name was changed to Hardwick School District as a convenience, one being that Hardwick had a post office and railway station. "If successful, the name of the voting precinct will probably be changed from Kingston to Hardwick, too."
1906 There were two photos posted in a valley newspaper showing the original "Hardwick School" (the old house) with approximately 24 children on the front porch. It lists the teacher as Miss Isabelle Hickey. There were about 24 children standing outside under a tree but it is very difficult to discern the faces. However, there are the surnames names of students listed under one of the photos. It included the names of Costa, Haase, Huffman, Cardoza, Kendall, Michaels and Ayeres. I am having a difficult time finding the newspaper that this article appeared in but my first guess is the Hanford paper however, after a search on Newspaper.com, I've come up empty.
1907 May 24 1906/07 - A newspaper mentions Miss Ida Boggs, the teacher of Hardwick school, has secured the position of bookkeeper for the Maple Grove Creamery of this city and arrived today to take up the work for the summer. (I'm assuming that she continued to teach at Hardwick.)
1909 Mar 9 1908/09 - "The district proposes to buy from Charles King a strip of land east of the present school ground, 77 feet wide and 150 feet long at a price of $100. This was prior to the removal of the old school house and the construction of the new school in 1914.
1909, March 9 “SPECIAL ELECTION IN HARDWICK DISTRICT to vote $350 to enlarge the school grounds and make needed improvements to the school house. The district proposes to buy from Charles King a strip of land east of the present school grounds, 77 feet wide and 150 long, at a price of $100.” (Linda’s notes: This school house was the old Victorian looking house that was moved from Kingston to Hardwick and served as the Hardwick school until building the new four-room structure built of brick in the mission style in 1914.)
1909 Nov 16 - SOON TO START ON NEW CHURCH - New Methodist Episcopal Edifice at Hardwick will cost about $2,000. Mortar mixing will be started this week.
From newspaper archives..... 1911 – April 16 “Mrs. V. L. Blalock, was the principal for the Hardwick School. A contest held by a book concern (business?) to Kings County school children, nine were awarded to Mrs. Blalock’s pupils. The winners were George Hewitt, Mabel Hardman, Edith Walker, Cleo Blalock, Horace Huffman, Olga Swanson, Katie Kendall, Susie Haase and Dora Johnson.”
1913, June 25 “Bids for the construction of the Hardwick District school house will be opened next Saturday in the offices of Schwartz, Hotchkins and Schwartz in the Rowell Building. The plans for the school call for a four-room structure built of brick in the mission style with a Spanish tile roof. It is to be built on the main road (i.e. Excelsior Avenue) four miles west of Laton.”
1913, July 2 13/14 - SELMA MAN TO BUILD HARDWICK SHOOL HOUSE. The bide of J. H. Peak of Selma was lowest and awarded him the contract of $8,387.00. (THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE THAT HAD BEEN MOVED FROM KINGSTON WILL BE TORN DOWN SOON AND A NEW SCHOOL HOUDE WILL REPLACE IT.
1913, September 10 13/14 The new building will be finished by December 1 and will be occupied immediately after its completion. Additional ground has been added to the school property and when the new building is completed and the grounds in shape, Hardwick will have one of the prettiest school properties in the county.
The replacement school was finally built in 1914 and continued in service until Hardwick and Kings River unionized in 1962. The school site to the west of the community on Excelsior Avenue is now used as a Kings County fire station. The bell that Mr. Page donated is now on the property of the fire station. Majestic valley oak trees were a part of the charm of the area. For more information about the Town of Hardwick go to http://www.latoncalifornia.org/hardwick.html

1923, Jan 8: “Because the Lemoore elementary school district maintains a bus service to and from school, certain residents of the Hardwick school district have petitioned the board of supervisors to change the boundary lines between the two districts. If the change of boundaries is made the Lemoore district will be enlarged about two square miles and the Hardwick district proportionately made smaller.”
Hardwick Grammar School probably sometime between 1920 - 1924 (#1003)
The above photo was taken sometime after the school was built in 1914, probably close to 1920. However, with no names to verify a date, I have had to use a few visible clues to help me determine a possible date. The music room is not in the picture so I need to check with a Kings County office that would have 'permitted' the structure. Possibly they didn't issue permits back then so I can only hope. Another clue is the hairstyle of the girls. In about 1925, the hair styles included what were called a 'bob' haircut. Prior to that time the girls had longer hair as in this photo. Also, from other grammar school photos, such as the Laguna kids, their clothing changed in the 20s and they seems to use less fabric, less ribbons, etc.
Another clue is that the next earliest photo is the 7th & 8th grade classes from about 1928 and there are 23 children in that photo. The photo above has approximately 34 children for the entire school (not sure if the taller ones are students or teachers) so for the 1928 class to have that many students, there must have been a number of years between the above photo and the one taken in 1928. Even the 1st and 2nd grades of 1930 had 26 students so for the whole school in the above photo to have had only 34 students, I feel as though there were a number of years between the time that this photo was taken and the next photo in 1928. This makes me think that the above photo was taken sometime around 1920.
If I could name just one of the children we would be able to come up with an approximately date. Now getting back to the taller children(?), I'm sure that taller lady to the left of the tree is a teacher. At first I thought that all the taller ones were teachers but the young man to the right of the tree doesn't have the build of an adult man. In those days, children (especially boys) started school much later and many of the boys were much taller than the girls in the same class. With so few students, I doubt that they would have had more than two teachers for so few children. We know that there were only four classrooms, two grades to a room, but most likely in those early years they used only one or two of the rooms.
This photo was discovered by Gus deVries in a box of items from his grandmother, Cornelia deVries. At first he thought that it was from his Aunt Wilma deVries who graduated from Laton High School in 1943. But then she would have started school at Hardwick in the school year of 1930/31. There is no way that this photo is from that school year. So that leaves his other aunt, Trynie deVries, who was born in about 1912 and graduated from Laton High in 1930. Gus is not sure which child is Trynie but my best guess is that the photo was taken some time near 1920 making her about 8-years old. The same goes for the Warmerdam boys who were Bill, John & Cornelius "Dutch". Gus seems to think that the photo was taken closer to 1924 but I'm thinking that if that's true, Trynie and Bill would have both been about 12 year's old and I don't believe that Bill is that old in the photo. After talking to one of Dutch Warmerdam's sons, he is quite certain that Bill is the 5th boy from the left in the front row and the other brother, John, is the 2nd boy in that same row. Bill was born in 1912 (about the same time that Trynie deVries was born) so would have been about 8-years old in 1920 and John was born in about 1913 or 1914 making him 6 or 7-years old in 1920. Dutch's son does not think that his dad is in the photo so it makes sense that if the photo was from 1920, Dutch, born in 1915, would have only been about 5 at that time. From the 1920 census records, it indicated that Corie "Dutch" was 5-years old and not in school at that time. If the photo was from 1924 then Dutch should have also been in the photo. Another thought; take a look at the clothing in the 1928 photo and compare that to the clothing in the 1920 (or 1924 photo). There is quite a difference in the styles.
Jake Boogaard and John Douma should be in this early photo because we know that they graduated from Hardwick in 1927 or 1928. They would have also been about the same age as Bill Warmerdam and Trynie deVries. Also, John Van Groningen, John Warmerdam, Cornelius Van Groningen and Cornelius "Dutch" Warmerdam.
The following names are those who graduated from Laton High School from 1920 - 1930 also attended Hardwick Grammar School. They were Inez Saulsbury, Verna Saulsbury, Ward Morrison, Ruby Reed, Mentor Wiggins, Lowell Scutt, Arlind Wilcox, Homer Brackett, Trynie deVries, Harry Roush, Gerald Roush, Jennie Love and Mildred Roush. The names in BOLD have the greatest chance of being in the photo. I have copies of the 1930 census for the Hardwick area so I should pick up some additional names there. In the census of the year, I believe that it also listed each person and indicated if they attended school and how many grades they completed. When I slow down a little, I'll find those census records.
I'm rambling and a lot of guessing is going on but that's all I can do right now. If we can find a different photo of a young Trynie deVries then maybe we can find her in the photo. She may be my only hope of finding the approximate year that it was taken.

Class photos were traditionally taken in the fall of the new school year so when the year is included such as 1930, it's understood that it's for the school year of 1930/31.

Dutch Warmerdam - 1928 Hardwick graduate (Photo #5) (See also photo #1043 above)
*Cornelius ("Dutch") Warmerdam (June 22, 1915 – November 13, 2001) was a long time pole vault world record holder and is considered to be among the all time greatest vaulters.
Dutch got his start in pole vaulting in his backyard using the limb of a preach tree and landing in a pit of piled up dirt. He grew up in the Hardwick area and graduated from Hardwick Grammar School ca 1928. He was discovered by the local track coach and vaulted for Hanford High School until his graduation in 1932, after which he attended and vaulted for Fresno State University.
Dutch married Juanita Anderson, a 1937 Laton High School graduate, on August 29, 1940, and they were married for 61 years until Dutch's death in Fresno in 2001. Juanita continued to live in Fresno until her death in 2006.
Vaulting throughout his career with a bamboo pole, Warmerdam was the first vaulter to clear 15 feet (4.57 m), accomplishing that feat at UC Berkeley on April 13, 1940. However, that achievement was not ratified for a world record, and his later vault of 4.60 m on June 29, 1940 was the first ratified jump over 15 feet. During his career, Warmerdam vaulted 15 feet 43 times in competition, while no other vaulter cleared the mark a single time. Warmerdam surpassed the pole vault record seven times in a four year span, and three of those marks were ratified as world records. His highest outdoor vault was 15' 7-3/4" (4.77 m), achieved at the Modesto Relays in 1942, a record which stood until 1957 when Bob Gutowski broke the mark using a metal pole. Warmerdam won the James E. Sullivan Award in 1942 but was never able to compete in the Olympics because the 1940 and 1944 games were cancelled due to World War II, and by 1948 he was coaching professionally and therefore ineligible. However he continued competing as an early practitioner of Master athletics. He still is ranked in the world all time top ten list in the M60 Decathlon.
Dutch went on to coach track and field at Fresno State College until his retirement in 1980. Fresno State named its track stadium Warmerdam Field in his honor. Dutch is a member of several halls of fame, including the National Track and Field Hall of Fame and the Millrose Game Hall of Fame.

(Linda’s note: It appears that none of these students continued their education at Laton High so if they went to high school if was probably Hanford High School and they would have been in the Class of 1932)
1928, Dec 1 – "Notice issuing and selling bonds ($3,000) for the purpose of raising money to build a separate frame classroom building adjacent to the present Hardwick School building. (Linda’s notes: That building would later become what we referred to as the Music Room. Apparently, there were so many first-grade students in 1928 that they hired a separate teacher for that grade and needed a classroom for just that grade. Eventually, until the school closed in 1963, the first and second grades were taught in the same room. I’m not sure of the date when they brought together both grades to be taught by one teacher. The following photos, with the background being wood, indicates that they were photographed in front of the new building.
1929, March 11: "The bids for addition to Hardwick school were opened Tuesday evening at the Hardwick school by the trustees. The contract was awarded to Pridgon and Bartlett of Laton and construction work on the new building will be at once." (Linda’s notes: This new building will be used for the first-grade students as they have outgrown the main building.)
1929 – Newspaper dated Apr 5, 1929 "Our new building for the first grade is going up rapidly. They expect to have it completed in about two or three weeks."
1929, May 28: "The following teachers for the ensuing year are S. Sidert as Principal and teacher of seventh and eighth grades. Mrs. Emma Haydon, first grade, Addene Huffman, second grade, Mrs. I. O. Ritchie third and fourth grades and Mrs. Lovell Fowler, fifth and sixth grades."
(Linda's notes) Although the previous article from Newspaper Archives do not include Mrs. Sparks as one of the teachers for the upcoming year, however, she was definitely in the following photos that would have been taken during the fall of 1929 and also the school year of 1930/31. The following newspaper article indicates that Mrs. Sparks is one of the teachers for the upcoming season.
1930, September 17: "Hardwick school opened for the fall term Monday morning with a fair attendance. There are five teachers this year. O. A. Rouch is principal and teaches 7th and 8th grades; Mrs. Velma Fowler, 5th and 6th grades, Miss Harriet Brown, 3rd and 4th; Mrs. Fay Cooper, 2nd grade and Miss Ruth Sparks, primary."
Dutch got his start in pole vaulting in his backyard using the limb of a preach tree and landing in a pit of piled up dirt. He grew up in the Hardwick area and graduated from Hardwick Grammar School ca 1928. He was discovered by the local track coach and vaulted for Hanford High School until his graduation in 1932, after which he attended and vaulted for Fresno State University.
Dutch married Juanita Anderson, a 1937 Laton High School graduate, on August 29, 1940, and they were married for 61 years until Dutch's death in Fresno in 2001. Juanita continued to live in Fresno until her death in 2006.
Vaulting throughout his career with a bamboo pole, Warmerdam was the first vaulter to clear 15 feet (4.57 m), accomplishing that feat at UC Berkeley on April 13, 1940. However, that achievement was not ratified for a world record, and his later vault of 4.60 m on June 29, 1940 was the first ratified jump over 15 feet. During his career, Warmerdam vaulted 15 feet 43 times in competition, while no other vaulter cleared the mark a single time. Warmerdam surpassed the pole vault record seven times in a four year span, and three of those marks were ratified as world records. His highest outdoor vault was 15' 7-3/4" (4.77 m), achieved at the Modesto Relays in 1942, a record which stood until 1957 when Bob Gutowski broke the mark using a metal pole. Warmerdam won the James E. Sullivan Award in 1942 but was never able to compete in the Olympics because the 1940 and 1944 games were cancelled due to World War II, and by 1948 he was coaching professionally and therefore ineligible. However he continued competing as an early practitioner of Master athletics. He still is ranked in the world all time top ten list in the M60 Decathlon.
Dutch went on to coach track and field at Fresno State College until his retirement in 1980. Fresno State named its track stadium Warmerdam Field in his honor. Dutch is a member of several halls of fame, including the National Track and Field Hall of Fame and the Millrose Game Hall of Fame.

Hardwick 1932/33 or 1933/34 , Grades 3 & 4 (#1006)
This photo was taken in 1933 but not sure if it was in the Spring of 1933 or the Fall of 1933. If it was taken in the Spring of 1933, then Paul Kercher, Lee Nunes, Lois Roush and Clara Arthur should be in this photo. If it was taken in the Fall of 1933 then Mary Nishi, Abe Stryd, Sumiko Tsubouchi and Juanta Atkisson should be in the photo and include Paul Kercher, Lee Nunes, Lois Roush and Clara Arthur. But then again, depending on when it was taken, Wilma deVries, Nickolas Loogman and Ernie Perry could also be in the picture but would not include, Paul Kercher, Lee Nunes, Lois Roush and Clara Arthur.
I hope that I haven't confused you too much but I'm going with names that I know were in there with Juanita Atkisson and had also graduated from Laton High in the Class of 1942. Can you put any faces with the coded position.

*Takayo Tsubouchi Fischer was born on November 25, 1932 in Hardwick, California to Issei parents Chukuro and Kinko Tsubouchi. During World War II, she, along with her four sisters and parents, was forcibly sent to the Fresno Assembly Center before being moved to permanent War Relocation Authority camps in Jerome and Rohwer, Arkansas. After the war, the Tsubouchi family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where, as a young adult, she was crowned "Miss Nisei Queen" and attended Rollins College in Florida from 1951-53.
Fischer has appeared in dozens of major Hollywood films including Moneyball (2011), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End(2007), The Pursuit of Happiness (2006), Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) and War of the Worlds (2005). She has also worked on many independent Asian American films including Americanese (2009), Only the Brave (2005),Stand Up For Justice: The Ralph Lazo Story (2004), and Strawberry Fields (1997).

She has also appeared in many productions with East West Players in Los Angeles, including Into The Woods. She toured the U.S. and Europe in The Peony Pavilion in 1997.
Fischer has had numerous guest-starring roles on network television including FX's It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia as a North Korean bar owner named Mr. Kim. She is sometimes credited as "Takayo Doran."
Fischer has done extensive voice-over work on several cartoon programs. Some of her well-known roles included voice work for Mister T, Battle of the Planets, Rubik the Amazing Cube, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Saturday Supercade, The Flintstone Kids, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, The All-New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show, The Karate Kid, Capitol Critters, The Centurions, The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show, The Heathcliff and Dingbat Show, Super Friends, Thundarr the Barbarian, Rambo, Wildfire, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Teen Titans, Justice League Unlimited and Avatar:
