| Memories: | "A great deal of interest has been taken during the past year in the library, which contains 141 books "It's all there in memory. Shouts, laughter, constant motion. The scarlet of September's sumac, January's gleam and sparkle, April's rebirth. The neatly white and utterly humble school, its flagpole and woodshed and flanking outhouses. Then suddenly the schoolbell's thin and tiny clang recalling us to class. Recess is over." -Gordon Enquist |
