GO AFTER THE SCHOOL BOARD'S SCALPS In Gridley High School, sessions began at eight in the morning.
School let out for the day at one in the afternoon.

The brighter students, who could get most of their lessons in school, and do the rest of the work during the evening, thus had the afternoon for work or fun.
Often, though, it happened that there were parties, or school dances in the evening.

Then a portion of the afternoon could be used for study, if need be.

Saturdays, of course, were free from study for all but the dullest---and the dullest usually don't bother their heads much about study at any time.
Gridley was not a large place---just an average little American city of some thirty thousand inhabitants.
