that if I didn't attend day school, I might attend night school. They agreed that I should make the choice. I chose to continue on with day school in the 7th grade at North Junior High. I am so thankful I chose to do this. WORLD WAR I ENDS Shortly after this time, the armistice was signed. Everyone was so happy that the war was over.

My sister Ida and I have very found memories of our teenage years--of traveling up in the spring as soon as school was out to spend the summer in our canyon home. The home was
