Emily
This is Emily Ealy again. I
go to Globe school. My teacher asked me to give an oral report on women’s
suffrage. After preparing my report, I know I will always work to win the vote
for women.
When a new boy started in our
grade school, Billy tripped him and called him names. I didn’t know if I should
tell the teacher or not. I did know, though, it was wrong to treat anyone
unkindly. When our book is finished you can read more about my school, friends,
family…and me.
A Souvenir
By Judy
Like Emily, I attended a one-room school. Above is a
picture of a souvenir booklet I received from my teacher on the last day of
school of my second grade year. Each student received one. I don’t know how
much the booklet cost our teacher, but as there were only nine pupils in the
entire eight grades, it probably wasn’t much. Inside the booklet are several
pages of poems, all with the general theme of giving our best and working
diligently in order to have a successful life. The names of all nine students
plus the names of the teacher and the school board members (one of whom was my
father) are listed. I suspect I was not impressed with the booklet, nor was I
able to read all the big words in the poems that long-ago day. Now, many years
later, though, that souvenir booklet brings back happy memories of school
celebrations, friends, and a favorite teacher. Thank you, Mrs. Woodward.
