Pic@oaut inohtn OF Juiys Wnen every
thing was beautiful with the bloom
OF summer, on the I'd day of July,
1892, Grace loo ked upon the busy
world for the FIRST time. Grace
was always very fond Of music,
When she would build play house
the first thing she put in it was q
ltoy piano. Her first school days
were spent'at Harmony Hail. Her
parents moving to Maynard, she
entered 0. M. Al, taking literary
work for awhile and then taking
music. She graduated in music iu
1910. Not being satisfied with just
graduating, she has worked hard
and is now post graduate Of the
music department. Continuing on
in our history we come to the name
Miss Katie Wyatt.
Katie was born August 95th,
1898, on a farm situated on the
banks of Elevenpoints river in one
of those green, sheltered, fertile
hooks in which farmers are 80 fond
Of nesting. A great elm tree spread
forth its branches over the little
house at the foot of which bubbled
up a spring of the softest and
sweetest water In little we'll
formed of a barrel and then stole
sparkling away through the grass
to neighboring brook that rippled
away among alders and dwarf
willow. Hard by the farm house
was vast barn that might have
served for a church, every window
and creyice of which seemed burst
ing forth with treasures of the
farm. Swallows and martins
skinned twittering about the caves,
rows of pigeons, some with one eye
turned up as If watching the weath
or, some with their heads, under
their wings or buried in their DO
SONS and others swelling and co6ing
and bowing about their DANES were
enjoying the sunshine on the roof.
A stately squadron of snowy geese
were riding in an adjoining pond.
Regiments of turkeys were COB.
bling through the farmysrd and
gulnea-fowls frettipg about like
ill-tempered housewives, with their
peevlsh discontented cry. Before the
barn door strutted the gallant cock,
the pattern of husband, warrior
and fine gentleman, clapping his
FURNISHED wings and Growing in the
pride and gladness OF his heart.
The place have described is where
Katie spent a part of her childhood.
While yet very young her parents
moved to Maynard and she entered
the public school at the age of 6.1
She entered o. M. A. in 1908,
taking music and literary. She
studied so hard and practlsed so
much that she is now our Youngest
graduate. But before | conclude
must say something of tie past life
