I as in Mice
(1980 memoirs)
Irma married James Harbridge, built a house in Fond du Lac. He died not long ago and she lives there, often visiting one of her two daughters. I went with her brother Leonard for a while, a wonder at the piano.

Mice
(1980 memoirs)
Eleanor Coreth and I lived in one part of the town and Irma Warns and a girl they long knew, Margaret Brewster, lived in another end. So when we met to go to see Mary Pickford or Mary Miles Minter or Rudolph Valentino in The Shiek we had someone to walk home with. One day one of us, probably Irma, was struck with a brilliant Idea. Writing down our names -- Margaret, Irma, Carolyn, Eleanor -- she found, as you can plainly see yourself, they spelled MICE. So until this day we often sign our Xmas cards by the one letter.

Reading
(1980 memoirs)
We studied Merchant of Venice, Macbeth, Hamlet.... One semester we each took a magazine -- the Literary Digest maybe. This [class] lasted three years and all were sorry to see the end.

Assignment book
(1980 memoirs)
[In Tess O'Brian's class] we each had an assignment book in which we were required to note the daily work assigned and copy questions to be answereed on the text. These were collected and graded. The object was to teach us good study habits and to be steady and neat.

Tess
(1980 memoirs)
Miss O'Brian taught us the fundamentals so that we knew why our mistakes were wrong, and taught us how to correct them. There was never any fooling around. She held our intent attention the full hour.
