Some of the things Grandma Mae remembered about school were the extra things like singing in Glee Club and being in operettas. She liked music class mostly, but hated swimming, which she failed. "I loved the water, though." Mae said penmanship was very important in school in her day, and she took two years of Latin by choice. "We had to take English, Math and Community Civics."
Music has always been a big part of our family's life. Grandma's father, Carl, was an accomplished pianist and composer, but he never had his work published. I think Aunt Iris has some of his music. Growing up, I sang in choirs in school and church and played the piano for many years. One of my favorite memories from school was playing the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz."
