Herman Miller is quoted in the 1958 article "If Popple Hill School Could Speak"
“I could tell a lot of Popple Hill history. I was there the first day it opened, two months late. That was in the fall of 1921. The new school wasn’t quite ready in September nor in October ...”
“There’s a sample of my art work, in the wood shed. It’s still there. After the painters left I found some nearly empty cans of white paint. I took a stick, dipped it in the paint and drew the form of a human being. That has lasted-good as it ever was.”
... “you know, there was a school here before Popple Hill. Old Van Scoyoc held school in one room of his tar-paper shack. I don’t think I ever heard his first name. We called him Old Van. Guess he was a pretty good teacher, too. Pearl Salter was county superintendent then and Mrs. Ehle, supervising teacher. She is Glen’s mother.”

“Miss Mary Markey of Kennan as the first teacher. She had Popple Hill two terms. She was a good teacher. And talk about Christmas programs-she could sure put on some good ones. Ida Tomacek had two terms. Then, there was my sister, Mary Mae Miller - and Mary Denk and Ethel Neu … J. Potter, Irene Denk …”
