"Today in Geo.[raphy] we had 41 questions. I got 100 in them. Mother and Dad salted down part of the half of the pig we got. Tomorrow in school we are going to have problems like this
2 x 3
12 x 21
7 x 6
Just starting to learn fractions."
It's evident that Shirley was an intelligent girl who enjoyed school. She was probably in the fourth grade here. I happen to have the high school yearbook for her senior year in Coopersville, Ottawa County, Michigan, which actually belonged to my maternal uncle (Bob's brother-in-law) who was her classmate. A quick look through it showed Shirley was very active in extra-curricular activities and was the Senior class secretary. She obviously came by her love of learning at an early age.
