Elizabeth "Lizzie" M Morrissey, diary entry, June 8, 1876 Wednesday, JUNE 8, 1876 It was pleasant the first part of the morning but during the forenoon we had quite a shower but it cleared off again. We waited for the open car as usual. First hour two girls were called upon to take the class in exercise and it don’t make any difference if we have taken the class once we have got to do it again if called upon. In grammar adverbs and prepositions were talked of all the hour and we passed in our papers on tense. We took color up all the hour; spoke of tints, hues, shades, primary and secondary color & c. In school economy had the proper incentive to study I was not called upon. Last hour Mr. Dunton taught us the characters for the various sounds we’ve been making and we have got to practice them. Ida got out coming home for the girls’ pictures and I waited for her at the ferry. I had some strawberries for dinner I went down in the yard to see how my seeds were getting along and I found they were all sprouting. Blanche came in during the afternoon and brought in some pictures to show us that she had painted. they looked real nice. Then studied till dark. In the morning talked & studied.
