The High School by Joseph Donnelly

"Commencement Exercises were held in the M E Church that year, 1903 and there was but one graduate, HELEN EVANS, who gave an address "One Woman in Education" though there is no hint now who the one woman was.  A Professor K J Morris presented the diploma.  I think he was the commandant of a private military and preparitory (sic) school in Covington, but lived in the white square house next to Oscar Barret on Dayton Pike near Covert Run, where his wife also took in boarders and where Dr. Frank Southgate was married a few years later.

Vivian Weaver (who later married my brother Charles) and the Narty boys attended this Prof. Morris' school.  He and his family subsequently moved to Virginia and one of his sons died soon after."
