ffm f-'ff TUSITALA FUR 1928 CLASS POEM EVELYN JAFFE The world is bathed in a golden light, Each work of nature that meets the sight Another promise seems to be Of future good and security. The clear, deep blue of the skies and seas, The fair, pale green of the young, spring trees The sudden touch of a cool, east breeze, The cheerful -call of the birds and bees, And all the splendors of sea and land Reveal the care of sweet nature's hand. For youth, like lloW'rs that bloom in spring, Foretells the fruits that autumn will bring. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Wetthe senior class of Benjamin School, 320 West 107th Street, do hereby make, publish, and declare this as and for our last will and Testament hereby expressly revoking and making null and void any and all Wills and Testaments by us at any time heretofore made.

I .t A 2. .- - TUSITALA FOR 1923 ,Qzpgrqof '29 A, YT X! As a form of diversion for the lschoolj during the Week allotted to them for thei own the girls of the junior class chose to represent the school as it will presumably be in 2228 A. D. They explained themselves tunefully on the lirst morning and sang t themselves, and the school, for the rest of the week. They relieved the teachers on Wediuesday, the second of May, and conducted classes very well indeed. Much amuse- ment was caused by the costumes, and the girls were very cautious about sitting down in their futuristic trousers. The week closed with a junior assembly on Friday morning. THE JUNIOR OLD-TIME-GOO-D-TIME PARTY Quit poking my elbow! How can I balance potatoes on a spoon with you tickling a sensitive portion of my anatomy? There, I carried three beans on one uninterrupted trip! Here goes my fifth marshmallow tonight! These remarks were laughingly voiced by the Seniors at the junior Old-Time- Good-Timew party given in their honor on Thursday, May third, at eight o'clock. There were potato races, bean balancing games, and marshmallow contests, all of which demanded a certain amount of dexterity and skill which various members of the Senior Class displayed. X The awarding of prizes in the auditorium was followed by refreshments in the form of ice-cream, cookies, and candies. A spirit of jollity pervaded, and at the close of the frolic the word 'lsuccess was planted in the breast of every junior and the words happiness and appreciationn were deeply rooted in the heart of every Senior.
