When our elder daughter was...

When our elder daughter was in her first year of high school we lived in a small town in the Sierras of California, where my husband was teaching in the high school and junior college.

Almost simultaneously both our daughters experienced a symptom which was apparently that of a contagious disease. In accordance with the law I notified the health authorities, and the school nurse, who was a good friend of ours, was sent to us. She said the condition was scarlet fever, necessitating our being quarantined.

My husband was given permission to move into the school dormitory with the Air Corps trainees. (This was during the Second World War.) The next morning the quarantine sign was put on the house for a period of three weeks, and during this time neither of the children was sick, but played around the house and yard.
