 Eula May Nunemacher had a very interesting early life with many highlights in it. She lived in the small town of Ashland, Kansas, about fifty miles south of Dodge City. She lived about one and a half blocks from school. In school she had about twenty-five to thirty-two people in her classroom. 

Some of her favorite books when she was young included the Bobsey Twins and Tom Swift. She didn't get in trouble often, but the time she got in lots of trouble was when she slugged a boy a good one because he spilled ink on her back. She had to stay in from recess for a week. 

At home she had many activities. She had chores such as washing the dishes and cleaning her room. Before school, however, she did not have any chores. Her dresses were made out of gingham, and made by her mother. None of her family members went to war. She went to church each Sunday, and sometimes she even went to church twice, once in the morning and sometimes in the evening too. 

She had many friends in grade school. Her best friend was Ruth. Ruth came from a big family so she came to her house a lot, but she had lots of chores to do before coming over. 

Eula May loved holidays. Her favorite was Christmas. She said that her extended family came over for Christmas and they had a big celebration. She also enjoyed the fireworks on the Fourth of July. They did not have fancy fireworks like we have now, but they were still enjoyable. 

Eula May played sports like tennis, and baseball. She loved to roller skate for fun in her free time. She would roller skate in the streets with her neighbors. She must have roller skated "one-thousand miles" as she says. She played on the school's tennis and baseball team. She loved music as well. She played piano as a small child, but she hasn't pursued it. 

She had a lot of things in her schoolroom. She had blackboards, globes, chalk, and also maps. But she did not have a lot of the things that we have today in our classroom such as television, and computers. 

She got most of her news from the newspaper. She never had a radio until she was a sophomore in high school. She didn't have television either, so she couldn't get the news as quickly as we do today. 

Eula May had a very interesting childhood. There were very many interesting things too write about in her early life. She was a very interesting person. She loved sports and things like that. She loved Christmas and hated Saint Patrick's Day. She was entrusting and we loved interviewing her.
