"The highlight of the school year was the pie supper. Every woman or girl brought a pie in a fancy, decorated box, which an auctioneer sold to the highest bidder. The idea was for the men and boys to buy the pie of the woman with who they wanted to eat. Who prepared each pie box was supposed to be a 'secret,' but the girls always made sure their boyfriends knew which box to bid on."
