My documentary is based upon the life and experiences of Gabriel Sanchez. Currently, (in 2013) Gabriel is an undergraduate student at the University of Oregon studying archaeology and anthropology. He is interested in indigenous archaeology, or the incorporation of indigenous forms of knowledge within the archaeological context. Gabriel's current research project is with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in this project and to work with Gabriel to share his story
Clytie May Workinger was a secretary in the School of Agriculture and Vocational Education, and an Appointment Secretary. She was employed at OSC from 1910 to 1955. She was born in 1889 in Shedds, Oregon. She began at OAC in 1910 as a stenographer for $600 per year. She took a number of other positions as secretary, including in the Office of the Dean and Director of Agriculture, and with the School of Agriculture. She took the position of Secretary of the School of Vocational Education in 1918, for $1400 per year. In 1923, she was given the rank of Assistant Professor, despite the fact that she did not have a bachelor’s degree. She joined the Placement Office in 1928, where she remained for the next 27 years. In 1927, she took a leave of absence to stay in Arizona. She had contracted tuberculosis and her physician advised her that with rest, diet, and heliotherapy for several months she could get the disease under control. While on leave, she kept in touch with her office, visited schools where OAC students were teaching, and visited schools where she thought she could place teacher graduates the following year. Many people expressed their appreciation for Workinger’s work. L.B. Mayfield, Assistant Superintendent of City Schools, wrote that she was always available and ready to help to the point that she “appeared to be on a twenty-four hour day.” Her help directed them to “think of Oregon State first in filling our vacancies.” H.E. Summers, Chief of the Bureau of Readjustment Education, wrote that she was a “true ambassadress of good will and the ideal for which Oregon State College stands.” She retired in 1955 as an Assistant Professor Emeritus of Education. She was a member of the American Association of Appointment Secretaries, the OSTA, and the College Folk Club. She was also a member of the the United Presbyterian Church.

Blanca's story begins with her life in regards to her mother and the importance of family. She moves a few times and talks of the disconnect from her family and community. Blanca discussed the advantage of English, providing a much smoother path for her to become Valedictorian and make her way to college. We discuss the cultural implications of identifying as Latino, and how this has affected her growing up as an intelligent student, a member of her community, and her identity as it is intertwined with her mother.
The interview with Gerardo Herrera Garcia explores the topic of baseball and education when he moved from CulÃacan, Sinaloa, Mexico to Medford, Oregon. Gerardo accredits his accomplishment to learning English in eight months to the fact that he joined the baseball team at North Medford High School, and he was forced to learn at a quick rate. He now resides in Eugene, Oregon and has a baseball scholarship to Lane Community College.
