REMINISCENSES 'Twas late in the fall of the year Nineteen Hundred Fifty-six, and after a hard day's work was finished, father was sitting by the fire smoking his pipe, when mother came in with her knitting. For a short time neither spoke, but their minds wandered back to a time when they were young and in school. Finally, between long puffs on his pipe, father broke the silence. Mother, I've jest been thinkin' of the time when we were in high school and the good old days them used ter be. Now, that's strange, Jamie. I've been thinkin' of the self-same thing myself. 'Twas a long time ago and when I drove to school and they called me a freshman. Most thirty-seven years ago, and I kin see it as plain as if it was yesterday. We, belonged to a mighty fine class, ef I do say it, and I ain't braggin' neither now, am I, Ma? No, no. That class always did what it set out ter do. Why, we had men on the foot ball team every year, an' good men, too. An not only that, Jane, but we backed 'em up on the side lines an' had lots of pep. There wan't no slackers in that class. I was sorry I couldn't go clear thru with 'em, but I sort of considered myself a member even when I quit. A good class. We never had such swell parties till we was Juniors and they was plannin' a banquet and a reception for the Seniors when Pa called me home to the farm. I tell you, Jane, I hated to miss them fer they was goin' to be real swell. That's past years ago, so they's no use mourning. Just remember the parties we had other years. A sleigh ride when we was freshmen, you remember, one load tip- ped over- 'Twill be a long time before I ferget that and the movie we went to all together, then out fer a treat, and then back fer a dance at the school house. Sure And we had a picnic when school let out. 'Twas a fine day We had that pic- nic on. Mother had dropped her knitting and was gazing into the fire. Then we had 'nother when we was Scphomores, and a dance in the middle of the year, and then, when the other fellows jined that Adelphic club, I wanted to jine, too, but I guess they thought I wasn't polished enough. That was too bad, but maybe you weren't. They didn't ask me to join the Olympics when I was a Junior either. Some were invited though and some were in the Junior play. Well, even if I did'n't get nut on any team or anything, we had folks on all the teams. football, baseball, track, basketball, debating, and they seemed ter get along perty Well. Father leaned over and emptied his pipe into the fire and nothing was said for a moment then mother finally said, I'd like to meet some of our old class-mates. I sup- pose they've all forgotten us. But, mother, even if they have we haven't them, and we know that We was mem- bers of a class we could well be proud of. -HART.
