Sept 21, 1914

Grandpa's West High School yearbook pic. Could the bio be more dead on?

Fine Day. Up at 6:50. Went to school without keys - could get no books etc..Copied essay before school, 1st per and in Eng. recitation. Got 100 in Eng test and 60 in Hist-(not my fault) 100 in Alg. Had a chance to ride home in Jay Packard auto with Ruth, Bernice etc.. But had to leave early and help out --- Quist. Worked there 2:30 -6:30


1914 Packard

Played 500 with Pa. Took swim in bath tub and retired on the springs.

French, Eng., and Germans still at a standstill. Been fighting this 1 battle for 10 days.

Author Notes:

I was able to find a digital page for Grandpa's 1915 West High year book. I only saw one Bernice but there are 3 Ruth's in the senior class.

Who knew they used "slam" in 1914?
