were killed. The quake didn't stop with that one big jolt but every minute or two there was another tremor, Henrietta said they made a chart and kept track and there was over a thousand aftershocks that night. My Dad was such a calm, reassuring person that half of the neighborhood were on our porch and lawn most of the night and there was no way we girls were going upstairs to bed. The tremors lasted a couple of weeks and all our schools were closed until they could all be inspected thoroughly before anyone could go back into them. We had a beautiful big auditorium at Fremont with a balcony - it was condemned because the balcony was cracked clear around and there was no way it could be repaired and it was never used again. When the schools were declared safe for occupancy again, mother told dad not to let any of us girls into school rooms until he had inspected them and as we were going out the door that morning Willa called back to mother "Good Bye, we may never see you again", of course this was all mother needed to calm her nerves - it wasn't long though and we were settled back in the groove and life back to normal.

I think two of my classes I enjoyed the most in the 10th grade were bookkeeping and biology, specially A10 biology the study of human life. Girls Home Nursing was great too, I learned so much there that helped me in caring for my children and parents during sick spells and about keeping ourselves morally clean. Mrs. Smith, our teacher, really taught these things straight out. She had been a nurse during W.W.I and knew so much from her real live experiences and answered our questions truthfully and fully. She also taught the boys first aid and I'm sure she taught them the same code of morals.

Along came June 22, 1933 - schools out and summer fun begins.
