Until I was sixteen years old, I was a faithful student in
the Johnstown Academy with a class of boys. Though

and pull the sleighs up hill for their favorite girls, but
equality was the general basis of our school relations. I

with the same [forcefulness) as they did each other's,
but there was no public evidence of [favoritism).
