* (wonder what it was like to teach your younger brother)

(On the inside back of the booklet is a poem written in my grandfather,
John's, handwriting. No author given.)  
When care and time our memories blot,
When years our measure fill,
We'll sometimes think of a dear old spot,
The school house on the hill.
