Those days and nights pass before me like a panorama of visions and dreams, but they will never be real again. Nora Stumm frequently appeared on the Franklin stage and so did May Seitz and the Seiple sisters. Ida Hathaway became a Normal disciple and joined the Adelphians. She was a noble woman and a student ever to be remembered. This year also added to our ranks that excellent student G.D. Spalding.
All old students remember the Spalding boys.
The brother entered later. I could name scores of others and true and fine students but time and space forbid. A peculiar circumstance occurred during that school year. We were unfortunate in our piano teachers. The gentleman who had charge the fall of 1880 felt desperately in love with one of our handsome lady students.
