Mrs. Salino became pregnant; left to have her baby (son) and Ms. Belle B. Beardsley taught the remainder of the year. I liked the boys; didn’t like the girls.

My choir background.

There wasn’t transportation to school at that time! Francis Short carried me on his shoulders when I became tired. We cut through the farm fields to make it a shorter walk.

I remember a lot more snowdrifts; we all climbed over them. School didn’t close as readily as it does today.
