Wed., April 24, 1935 - Cleared up today. Went to bed early tonite. Gave 8th graders final instructions for examinations tomorrow.
Thurs., April 25, 1935 - We practiced at the school house tonite, or rather said our parts. Allen stopped at school house and gave me the questions.
Fri., April 26, 1935 - Warm today. Mrs. Goodling brought me home at 4:15. Baked cookies for lodge tonite. Alma and I on committee. Rained about 7:30. Only a few at lodge.
I have to imagine that 8th grade examinations were somewhat stressful for the 8th graders. Kids my age took all-encompassing tests every now and then, but they were just to see where we were at (I think), not to determine if we went to the next grade or not. I guess back in the day, they were essentially college finals for 8th graders.
