(High School Credit.)

For eight years my school life had followed an
tenor, but when emerged from the grades and
entered the high school my ideas of everybody and
everything completely changed On the first day
attended this higher institution of learning found
that henceforth my way of life must be different

make myself think that my childhood had
long since passed
On that memorable day everything around me was
new and queer Instead of quietly remaining in my
seat myself following the others from room to
room restless succession. I lost myself in crowd
experienced pupils and another ignorant little fresh
and myself traversed paths unknown Early IN
day held head high at the dignity of posi-

was satisfied meeky to follow the crowd. My poor
ignorant sadly mudded by the heterogeneous
species of matter crowded into it. learned when
ancient history began and that "puella" means girl
and tuba" trumpet. learned that could whisper IN
the halls upstairs if I wished The benefits OF
earlier discipline were lost to me. depended
myself first time in life and let my COM
determine line of action.
My queerest day full of strange people and

if you should ride to town for flour,
bread, coffee and salt. Yes, I mean
that, for cook did not tell me we
were out of those things till just
now. What shall we do?" Mama
had been talking, and went on: "If
we were in the city we might bor-
row a little -four" Just then we
heard the clatter of horses hoofs
and a messenger came saying,
''Your sister wants you at once for
something important, because she
told me to ride as I never rode be-
fore" Mama had to go at once and
left me to get the supper.
I tried to make graham bread,
but it was failure. did not make
the tea weak enough or cook
enough meat. The door opened
and in came papa with the visitors.
All at once papa said, my, what's
that burning?" went out and saw
that my graham bread had burned
to crisp. At last I had supper
ready and I did put that burned
bread on the table. When I passed
the potatoes I let the dish fall on
the floor, spilling all the potatoes.
This was the menu for that never
o-be-forgotten supper: Very badly
burned graham bread, a.little near

castor. oil (by mistake), very strong
