THE GLEAM 19 trained how to fire the guns in battle. All the work of firing a gun is done in about thirteen seconds. Well. I guess I had better close as it is about time for taps. Tell Ensley High here’s hoping you will always prosper and lick Central every year. I will root for you every Thanksgiving, though I am on board ship. Yours truly. MANUEL HOUSE. P. S.—My address is: L. M. House, U. S. S. Colorado, care Port-Master, New York City. Florence, Ala., Oct. 20. 1923. Dear Miss Daisy: 1 thought as I was sitting here thinking of Old Ensley High, that I would write and tell you about the wonderful school which I am now attending. The Normal School here is an old building about one-fourth the size of E. H. S. It is covered with vines which make it look really beautiful. The library is a brick building annexed to the main building. It is three stories high. Classes meet on the first and third floors, while the main library is on the second. Our buildings set back from the street about one hundred and fifty feet. The grounds have trees all around and it makes you feel just as if you are living in the woods. Where I am staying, in the main dormitory, there are three terraces about fifty feet long, and they stand about five feet above each other. To look at the dormitory you would think it was an old castle, for it has a tower with beautiful vines growing on it. This dormitory accommodates only about 125 people. There are 66 rooms. The rooms are painted a light salmon and white, and everything is like home. Our matron is our mother. Everybody knows everybody else. Tell Amelia I wish to say: “Hello!” Tell Mr. Pittman the same if he is still at E. H. S. I remain an “Old” student, MARTINA FINK.

Smith, Ensley High School, Ensley, Ala. Dear Mr. Smith: I guess you will be surprised to find that one of last year’s school boys is in the navy. I like the navy fine and am on one of the greatest ships on the water—the U. S. S. Colorado. Well, how is Ensley High this year? I surely wish I could be back there. How many of last year’s teachers have y-ou? I wish to thank you and Ensley High School for what it did for me. If it had not been for Ensley High, I would be scrubbing decks, but Tistead I am in the plotting room, taking life easy. In this room, we are
