Manley Ray Sackett
He was the fifth child of James Earl Sackett and his wife, Antoinette Hall Sackett. He-was born September 1, 1903, at the homestead in Sackett Gulch in Stevens County near the town of Bossburg, Washington. He attended the Larsen school and later, when the family moved to Hungry Hill, the Hungry Hill School which was built with lumber donated from the Sackett Mill. llecause.their father was iII and was away for long periods.getting treatment, all of the children including Manley probably had more work and responsibility thrust on them than was good for them. However, things held together until a drought set in during 1916 and continued. There was not enough feed for the livestock and it became necessary to move and this happened in 1918. The family settled near Mabton, Washington, in the Yakima Valley. Manley entered the eighth grade in Sunnyside, Washington in 1920. When he graduated from the eighth grade he was eighteen years old. He went on through high school earning his keep by working and doing chores for farmers and retired people in the area. In 1924, he transfered to Walla Walla High School from which he was graduated the following year. In 1925, he entered the Washington State College at Pullman, Washington and was graduated in June, 1930. He was granted a fcllowship which enabled him to do a year of graduate work in the Sociology Department and was awarded a Master of Arts degree the following year.
In June, 1931, he married Mabel Thomas. From that year until June, 1934, he taught in the Monnoe, Washington High School where he coached football, basketball and track and taught Chemistry, Physics and Social Studies. In September, 1934, he became Executive Secretary of the College YMCA in Pullman, Washington. Because the depression had made it very difficult for many young people to attend college even though they wanted to very badly, Manley took the initiative in establishing a cooperative enterprise which became the Student Cooperative Boarding and Housing Association. This organization acquired several houses in which groups of students could be housed at low cost. Eventually the National Youth Administration was pursuaded to build a large structure on the campus and rent it to the Cooperative. He also ran an employment agency for students.
In September, 1940, he resigned and enrolled in the College of Education at Stanford University for two quarters and continued on through the summer in the Graduate School at the Washington State College. In August, 1941, he was hired by a private firm for a period of one year to set up occupational guidance procedures for the Commercial Section of the California State Employment Service in Los Angeles, California. Then he was employed by the Consolidated Steel Company to recruit and employ workers for their expanded World War II production effort.
After the war he did a variety of things such as operating a machine shop, manufacturing household furniture, and teaching in high school. From 1941, until his retirement in 1968, he worked for the Harris Manufacturing Company of Stockton, California as Service Manager and Field Engineer and Salesman. For much of the time during their married life until her retirement in 1976, his wife, Mabel, continued with her vocation of teaching in elementary school. She had a distinguished career, especialIy in the sense that she made a lasting impression on her students. A surprising number have kept in touch through the years. One evidence of this was the naming of the playfield at Pasadena Elementary SchooI, Walla Walla School District No.363, Spokane County, Washington. It was dedicated as the Mabel Sackett Playground on May 8, 1981, by popular acclaim of students and former students, and this took place some years after she had retired.
