After completing my High School work at The Plains, I bade adieu to my classmates the following summer and went to New York. Here I secured a position as stenographer, drawing a fine salary of $57.00 per week. I stayed in this place about four years. Then 1 returned home expecting to visit my classmates, but was sadly dis- appointed. I was informed that Irene was in Europe and that Victor had joined the navy. I spent a few days at my home and then returned to New York. By the time I got there I had determined to become a Red Cross nurse. I then took an eighteen months’ course in training, enlisted, and soon orders came for me to go across, as extra help was needed over there. On June 5th we sailed aboard the good ship “Washington,” whose captain greeted us very cordially. I thought he looked very familiar and soon it dawned upon me that it was my old schoolmate, Victor Howard, now Capt. Howard, if you please. Arriving in Europe, we were taken to a large hospital where I met and recognized Mr. Bryson, once our class teacher, but now a famous surgeon. One day a very beautiful young lady was brought to the hospital. The driver of the ambulance said he saw her fall from her horse as he was on his way to the battlefields. He had turned and brought her back to the hospital at once. She had a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder. When she regained conscious- ness we began to talk, and I at once recognized my old schoolmate, Ircme Gabriel. She told me her horse, becoming frightened at the ambulance, had thrown her. When she recovered, the surgeon gave me a furlough and I ac- companied her to New York. We crossed on the same ship that carried me to Europe. The voyage afforded many opportunities for talking over our old school days. Reaching New York, we bade adieu to Captain Howard, and took a train for home. Everyone was very much surprised to see us. While at home, my discharge came, and with it a letter saying they were discharging nurses, as the war was over. I then returned to New York and took up my former work. A TEACHER’S LIFE. Teachee, Teachee, All day teachee, Markee papers, Nerves all creepy. No one Kissee, No one hugee; Poor old Maidee, No ore lovee.

Bryson, who is our science and manual training teacher; Mrs. Tompkins teaches history; Miss Fulton, who taught our Eng- lish the first semester, and was then compelled to give up her work by illness; and for the last semester.

We entered upon our work with a deter- mination to succeed. During the first few weeks most of us became a little discour- aged, but we have kept on working until now, we feel like we can manage the final exams. Our class contains only ten members, but we are a studious bunch, doing all we can for the good of our school. This year we found our teachers to be entirely new: They are: Mr. Hines, Principal, and teacher of Mathematics; Mr. Bryson, teacher of Science and Manual Training; Mrs. Alma Thompkins, History, Music and Home Economics; Miss Mary Fulton was our English teacher the first semester, but on account of illness she was compelled to give up her work. We were all disappointed when we learned she was not to be with us the second semester. She was a good teacher, and was well liked by all the students. After the holidays. Miss Edith Brohard took up the work as English teacher. She is liked by all her pupils, because of her kind disposition and earnest labor. We organized our c ss, March 1st, electing the following officers: Presi- dent. George Keeton; Secretary, Mildren Poling; Treasurer, Lela Coen. Class Flower— Carnation.
