00:18--Rutledge recalls camp meetings held at Bethel Grove. The event was usually held in September, and visiting families actually would camp out around the festival grounds. Hundreds would come from around the country on the homecoming Sunday, which was the last of three days of worship and fellowship. In addition to this, Rutledge recalls aspects of singing conventions. A couple of active groups within the church were the Missionary Society and the Young Men's Progressive Club.
11:17--Rutledge began his education at age six at Richland Elementary School. It entailed grades 1-7. He had a 3 1/2 mile walk to and from school everyday. He details school lunches, hours of operation, physical structure of the one room building, numbers of students, and typical makeup of the school term (5 months). Some of his teachers were Pauline Harrison Beals (?), Cora Blassingame, and Elizabeth Gault. He then discusses aspects these same aspects of education as they relate to Oconee County Training School as well as Seneca Junior College.
