RPvPRHPvMDC 1921 As winter came on it got so cold in the school that Mr. Birchhead moved the whole High School to the Elementary School building. The High School pupils went from 12:30 to 5 P. M. because the elementary pupils used the building all morning. It was quite a novelty coming home in the dark on winter afternoons. Meanwhile our beautiful new High School was being built. The site was formerly a burying ground, and being so impatient to get in our new building made the time of waiting seem so long to us that Jebby declared that after the carpenters worked on it in the day time the ghosts pulled it down at night. During our Freshman term we never did get in the new school, and after vacation we started again in the elementary school building as Sophomores, with Mrs. Blake our teacher. When we walked into her class “wasn’t it a grand and glorious feeling?” Not many months, however, after entering our Sophomore class we moved into our new High School. Everyone was so pleased and excited. The library, which is also the study hall, is a large, pleasant room, with book cases, tables and beautiful big ferns. I must not forget to tell you about the Bible and Flag which the Junior Order United American Mechanics presented to the new High School. Our class was given the Bible to use. I wonder if Mr. Birckhead thought that we needed it most. Whether we do or not we are glad to have it. Old Glory floats gallantly over our building, and we take this opportunity of again thanking the J. O. U. A. M. for the gift of these two things precious to the heart of every American child, our Bible and our Flag. Our Sophomore year has passed, with its study and its play, its lights and shadows, its lessons, some hard and some easily learned, leaving in our hearts pleasant memories of the patience of our teachers, of the good-fellowship and cama¬ raderie of our co-pupils, and the affection of our own special school “chums.” It has been a happy year, made busy with study, lightened by a little mischief, helpful with lessons of perseverence, and beautified with friendships, which we trust will continue long after our school days are a thing of the past. We all want to meet again next year with the same old spirit of understanding, sympathy and mutual helpfulness. Until then. Adieu! 56
