In December 1928, the eight students of the Eagle Lake School made table favors in the shape of tom turkeys made from pine cones. These were used for a rural education banquet in Chico  to honor Dr. Melvin Pittmann professor of rural schools in Michigan.

Miss Lola Willett, the teacher of the Eagle Lake School was commended for her work with her students throughout the year for the students cleverly made art work. In addition, a resolution was passed commending the school which also included a five pound box of chocolates, that was divided among the eight pupils. So it must have been a very sweet Christmas at the home of Coit and Laura Stone, whose children made up the bulk of the student population at Eagle Lake.
