This is really not my time to write this record, as I am next in age to Lucy but as I am one of the old scholars and all of the old ones have to write before the new, it falls to my lot to perform this task.
We opened our meeting by reading one half of the thirty first Psalm. Then Miss Florence read Lucie's account of the last meeting which was very amusing and which we enjoyed very much especially as she was not there to take part in our entertainment herself.
Nannie played her own arrangement of "Mockingbird" which was very pretty. Mattie repeated a very pretty piece called "Perseverance" very well much better than she ever repeated anything. Lou played "Les Borders Du R Line very well and Miss Lou complimented her. Lulie read "A Lament for the ???? Flowers" which was very appreciated at this season (fall). Mattie Kate read "Half Way Doings" which is a very good sermon preached by a negro. Sallie played "Mountain Zephyrs". (Sorry I cannot find the lyrics).
Miss Lou read a very pretty piece about a walk which two boys took. One of them did not enjoy the walk at all, while the other saw an endless number of interesting things. There was a very good lesson to be learned from it but I have not time to write it here.
LS
The only girl with the initials LS that year was Loulie Starke. I find her name spelled different ways...sometimes Lulie, sometimes Lula M. Starke, She is found in the book Green Mount After the War on three pages, 192, 216, and 273. There were only 6 girls on the roster for the year 1880-81 and they were:
Blount, Sallie Lee (married name Mahood)
Fauntleroy, Mattie Kate
Fleet, Lucy
Henley, M. Lou
Sale, Nannie F.
Starke, Loulie
