do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation,
and your might to all who are to come."

The water pail with the long-handled dipper that we drank from was frozen, too. . . .
It seemed the deep snows of winter were very long, but they never called off a day of school because of it. Oak Shade School had all eight grades in one room with one teacher, Mr. Nixon. For a Halloween prank one year, some boys climbed up on the roof and put a board over the chimney. When the teacher started the fire . . .
