Their lids had the initials of school children carved into them. Some of the initials had been placed there 30 years earlier, in the 1870s. The schoolhouse was set back from the road. Behind it was a brook. All the children put their bottles of milk in the brook in the morning. This way the milk would keep cool and sweet until dinner hour.

Mr. Phillips was back in the corner. He was explaining a math problem to Prissy Andrews. The rest of the students were whispering . Some were drawing pictures on their slates. Some were driving crickets, harnessed to strings, up and down the aisle. Gilbert Blythe was trying to make Anne Shirley look at him. He was failing miserably. Anne was at that moment caught up in a book and totally oblivious to the very existence of Gilbert Blythe. She was also unmindful of every other student in the one-roomed schoolhouse.
