Work joined history, school, and sport as another formative element of Ike's Abilene days. He baked and sold tamales; grew and sold sweet corn and cucumbers; harvested wheat, picked apples, and hammered out steel grain bins. He joined the Belle Springs Creamery after graduating from Abilene High School in 1909, toiling as a fireman from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. seven days a week.

Instead, Ike won an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and left the creamery and Abilene in 1911.

Following graduation, he spent the summer of 1915 at home courting a young woman while awaiting orders to his first military posting. Homecomings were rare after that, until the end, when he returned one last time for interment in the Place of Meditation on the grounds of the Eisenhower Center on April 2, 1969.
