f Etlflss i nsirlmw D II, 1907 Seven years ago seven little girls assembled in the fourth story front of 2027 DeLancey Place. We were Eleanor Arnett, iA1va Sergeant, Elizabeth Graham, Kate Jayne, Mary Mirkil, Mary Henderson, and myself. We were sure that it was the turning point of our young careers, that first day at the A. I. S. We were timid little things QI have to tell you, as you would never guess it by seeing us nowj, and we felt very strange as we took our places at the long benches in Miss Lewis's room. We had no desks that year, and so we neatly QPJ arranged our possessions in cubby-holes along the wall Qrats' nests we called themj, and proudly inscribed D II on our books and papers. Once started, we got along swimmingly. Gradually we lost our fear of Miss Sophy fexcept when she came to call our rolllj and gradually we became accustomed to school ways. I regret to say that we had an irresistible inclination towards the fire escape, a sweet, yet forbidden spot where we ventured whenever we felt particularly divilish. There was a great deal of snow that winter. just outside our windows was a convenient ledge, on which the ice collected in most tempting clumps. Many a time at recess when an AI passed by, a grimy, unseen paw would push a miniature avalanche down on the dignified senior's crown of puffs and switches. The latter part of the winter we memorized Gray's Elegy, which we proudly recited to Miss Sophy. Our exquisite intonation and enunciation would have done credit to coffee-grindersg Miss Sophy must have been enchanted by our declaiming powers. 26
