“ Lead a lean life and think thin thoughts, dress in diaphanous gauze, make hair-splitting distinctions, talk and think much of your slender purse, walk the narrow way and have ever in your mind the eye of the needle through which you shall finally have to pass. ”

“ Our friendship, may it last forever. Forever and a day, may it grow in love, but never Make us feel different than today. Together we have gone through all these years, We have shared each other's happiness and tears. ”

“ Outside the air was clear and the boys college stood outlined against the sky. The boys had evidently been aroused by the commotion for there were signs of the students in their windows. The girls looked in vain for any signs of flames but none could be seen. The Principal Miss Saye sent Anne and her roommate in search of Miss Wayne. The two girls wandered upstairs. "She is on this floor, [here] she comes." Anne and Ada craned their necks in curiosity. Down the hall came an elderly woman. ”

“ Always Leave the table hungry, but take a pickle with you, a large dill pickle is the best for your purpose. Eat a great deal of pickle; it may ruin your complexion but a good complexion is only skin deep while fatness goes straight through. Sleep in your stays if you can, but if can't just don't sleep. Sleep is a fattening habit at best. Keep a pickle under your pillow and take a bite when you think of it. Lose your temper on all occasions, as nothing is more conductive to stoutness than placidity. Stop speaking of yourself as a fatty, and begin to speak of yourself as slender. ”

“ Age 15
A - is for Alice (Schneider) blue eyed and fair,
B - is for Bertha (Lattin) with never a care.
C - for Concetta (Sorrentino) who's devoted to home,
D - for Doris (Lyons) who dreads being alone. ”

“ All the guys and teachers are out on the campus searching for the invisible flames. "Oh I feel ill, tell Miss Saye I have retired. Goodnight girls." Anne burst into laughter, "Come on lets tell the girls," and they explained to the teachers and students. The incident was forgotten however with the approaching event. A costume ball was to held in the girls dormitory. The students from the boy's college were invited and Anne hoped secretly that Arthur Lake would come, while Ada planned for August. ”

“ Without further delay she led the nurse to the room where Anne lay. "Well Anne are you trying to help the mumps society? They don't need aid. Four students are down with it." The doctor said Ada had contacted the disease so she was sent to bed. Two weeks of imprisonment and then liberty, Anne and Ada went joyfully about their studies. Just to able to be present in classes was wonderful compared to lying in bed. Ada and Anne were Seniors so was Arthur and August. The Senior Class always gave a play. All the graduating students took part. ”

“ Let the ingredients stay in bed until ten minutes before breakfast, then in a wild scramble cover a thin layer of clothes without the formality of bathing or even taking off nightgown, then breakfasting en famille. Do hair with a lick and a promise and beat all the other girls to the table. ”
