| MEMORIES: | “Upon entering, the scene is much more pleasing. If school is in session we will come face to face with about 22 bright-looking, busy children. The room is pleasant and well lighted by six windows, 3 on each side. In the back of the room we will see a nice blackboard, also one between the doors, while on one side hangs a nice case of maps.” -Stillwater Gazette, May 1898 |
