E. H. S.” The young folks now days may have changed a lot since twenty-seven but down deep I’d bet there is the same school spirit that has always been.” “Well we had better go down stairs now it’s getting dark and it will soon be time to get supper. You may take my memory book and Beaver down stairs with you if you care to.” = 1927-
