When the Inst bell ran? there were twenty-three trembling souls gazing at our teacher. Miss flavin. . r •«•tier known as: Mrs. John Kenney. This year was un eventful one in our young lives. We all learned our A B C’s and a little Arithmetic, which included addin? and substractin?. »ne day some visitors came to school and one pupil became so interested In them that she would not learn her spellin? lesson. At class time Myrtle was asked to «pell several words, but rach time she tailed to spell the word correctly so the toucher compelled her to remain after the other pupils had ?one home. Myrtle thought this was hard punishment, but she bore It with a brave heart and so was allowed to ?o home after she had learned her spellin? lesson.
