jllIliOl'S' ISiSF0l'V. My DEAR MOM: Oh, mother, I can hardly Write I am so Very nervous. One of the Senior girls just tried to Hirt with me and she scared me awful. But I will tell you of my experiences since I left you. I arrived here safely and went to the superintendentls office to get my ticket for the High School. I was kind of fright- ened 'cause he talked so loud and asked me who I was and who my pop was and how old I was, but he gave me the ticket and I went up to the school. The professor is very kind and didn't give me a hard examination-hardly any at all but I am not going to tell anybody ,cause I donlt think he is that good to everyone. I think hels awful nice. I donltlike the Middlers though, the girls talk so loud and try to boss everybody. They ain't at all nice and quiet like sister Sue. QTell her not to worry that she can't come toschool here. She would be awful scared. But Ilm not lj ii I think I like the Seniors, but they laugh at our class when- ever we make mistakes, and call us kids, ,cause we ain't as big as them. They are mean sometimes, and they sneak out of their lessons whenever they get a chance. And, ohl I know something awful funny about one of the girls that I could tell if I wanted to, but I won't. One day she talked in class and the Professor sent her and the boy she talked to out of the main room. Professor S -ds had a division down in the lab so there was no one in his class-room and they went in there. After awhile they Went into the side-room and there was Professor's big storm coat, hat, and overshoes. They didn't know I was looking, but the Professor had sent me out on an errand and I peeked in and saw 'em. The girl put on the big coat with the collar turned up, the hat on her head, stepped into the overshoes and strutted around with her hands in the pockets. The boy laughed until he near- broke his glasses, then she made him promise not to tell a soul and he said he Wouldn't. Wonder how she would feel if she knew I saw her. Oh l but it was funny. But say, lma, won't you let me buy a horse? All our class are going to get them and they say you can buy 'em real cheap from the Seniors and Middlers. One ofthe Senior boysthought he would be smart and he told me to ask you to send me a little stool! to put 'my feet on till my legs grow long enough to reach the floor. Wasn't he mean? But I don't want the stool, I only want the horse.: Welve got some real nice girls in our class, but I don't know them yet, as I am a little bashful and don't know whether they would like me. But, oh! mother, I had an awful time last Friday. Some of the Senior boys asked me to come down in the labratory to see the different chemicals. Then they asked me
