Students found Corporal George M. Taylor's WWI diary fascinating.  Three students, Kate Abed, Noemie Von Kaenel, and Leili Najmabadi were the first Palo Alto High School students to open and review the diary.  They began transcribing it and by doing so revealed a great deal about his character and the nature of the era.
