by E. R. Gaskin These tales, or legends, are basically true with names changed and minor alterations made for publication. They are selections from Mr. Gaskin's much longer manuscript in which he records his memories of an earlier time (1900-1920), trying to give the flavor of a way of life long since gone. School time came again, time for scrubbing heads and rusty ankles, more clothes to wash and dinners to fix. All When their names were called, Ethyl would walk down the aisle, turn around and bow stiff-waisted, then would come the familiar, schools had adopted the pie supper plan to buy an extra blackboard or other necessities for the school. Pie suppers were always preceded by a program of recitations, essays, etc., usu- I stepped upon the stage My heart went pitty-pat I thought I heerd some pretty little boy say ally by the students, then the pies were put up and auctioned off. Men and boys only would bid, then they would get to eat the pie sitting in the seat by the girl. Sometimes this was fun, sometimes not, "What pretty little girl is that?"
