One incident is on record in regard to the "bully" of the school.

After having tried every persuasive method at her command to compel obedience, she proceeded to use the rod.

He fought viciously, but she finally flogged him into complete submission and never had any further trouble with him or the other boys.

She was, however, very tender-hearted toward children and animals.
Among the outings enjoyed by the young people were excursions to neighboring villages.

There were no railroads, but every young man owned his horse and buggy, and in pleasant weather a procession of twenty vehicles often might be seen, each containing a happy couple on their way to a supper and dance.
