575 l l.ll..'1'ZN 253 Norman Levey is extremely popular with the ladies and they are particularly popular with him. XVhen he recites he looks at the ceiling and thinks UD and when he is not reciting he looks at the girls and winks, Madeline Levi is extremely plump and round, but as she is also particu- larly sweet, we like to have her 'round, especially as she is the class baby in yea1's. Louise Koss is extremely angelic and particularly fond of history. She differs from the rest of us, because it makes her ill to miss a test. and it makes the rest of us ill to take one. Lawrence Hill is extremely fond of HH cocoa, always asking for a second cup, and he particularly dislikes unnecessary exercise when it's hot weather- or cold weather-or any kind of weather! Elizabeth Dougherty is extremely fond of trying to make us believe she is a Hman-hater, but she is particularly embarrassed and blushes when we catch her napping, for she always gets in about H40 winks at. some boy during the day. Mary Hartman is extremely bright and healthy, and a particularly good candy maker, so young men with sweet teeth, take notice. Jane Trost is extremely neat and particularly fond of making the girls jealous by wea1'ing a different dress nearly every day. Mable Kirkbride is extremely fond of fudge, and that is what makes her so particularly sweet. Nancy Morrison is extremely fond of talking aloud and 11ot particularly afraid that Miss Oechsler will keep her promise and tie her mouth shut. Martha Tom is extremely clever at writing personal verses and stories and particularly fond of making funny faces and monkey-shines. Rebecca Lane has extremely blond curls, which makes her extremely popu- lar with the boys, but she is particularly fond of whispering and sitting on her seat t.urned up, which doesn't make her particularly popular with the teacher. Miriam Peters is extremely fond of doing fancy dancing and particularly anxious to finish school and become a movie star, as all the movie managers are begging her to. ., Mildred Schwyn has extremely red cheeks, evenifor these 'tpaint-up days but they must be natural for they get particularly red when she recites. Mason Holt is extremely fond of a particular sweater, and particularly fond of twisting the extreme end of it while reciting. Franklyn Quale is extremely good-looking and particularly fond of the ladies, and his nice, shiny, smooth hair. Franklin Clark is extremely pleased to get a Hdouble A whether he de- serves it or not, for he particularly likes to show his sister he can. Joseph Friend is extremely fond of making spit-balls and particularly anxious to Iinish the thousand Captain Oechsler ordered him to make. And last and least, myself-but I am so extremely particular that I don't want to tell you how particularly extreme I am. So, with the history of the first advanced class of Fulton School. As the time draws near when we are to receive our honorable discharge, I know we shall all regret leaving dear old Fulton, our commander-in-chief and our good Twelve 6

575 I- I-ll-'PSN 253 faithful service, we entered the last regiment, the t'Advanced Seventh with Captain Oechsler for our valiant leader! Now it is a fact long suspected, that all teachers have eyes in the back of their heads, but Captain Oechsler proved this, on the day when she was washing the blackboard, and it was all wet and shiny, and she told a boy be- hind her to sit down and behave. without ever looking around at all, so of course she has eyes in the back of her head, and knowing this. we just had to behave every minute and l'in sure she will tell you we always did! This year has been filled with pleasure, for though we had to travel faster to finish the work assigned to us, our teacher was always sympathetic and made the work interesting. XVe have become more like a family than a class, in fact a stranger hearing some of our Usquabblesy' would be sure that we were a regular family! And our teacher has been more like a mother than a paid instructor. Didn't she take l1e1' own mirror from her closet, because we couldn 't all get in there at once, and place it in the cloak-room so the whole class could 'tprimp? Those who didn't possess combs used rulers to smooth their hair. And didn't she put the 'tsensen in censor when we had our two class newspapers, the 'tBrite-lite and Y-Da-wake, so that we learned many interesting family secrets about each other in those personal columns? And couldn't she make the laziest of us sit up straight, not by using the ruler on us, but by just putting it down our backs? Our time was not all spent in hard work, we enjoyed many dramatizations, Hlld our Minstrel Show made quite a hit with the audience, there was scarcely a thing they didn 't l1it us with. But the greatest social event was the Grand Military Ball, given by all the Eighth Regiments, of whom we were members. This is an annual event in honor of the Fulton soldiers who have advanced to a higher army in High School. At this ball, our company presented a highly classical drama, entitled, 'tMadame Princeton's Beauty Parlors, and our dramatic ability was so great that we had to dodge the theatrical managers for weeks, to keep from being forced to become Broadway stars, but we preferred to finish our term of enlistment. Ill regard to the personal qualities of the class, I will say that they are, perhaps, rather extreme and very particular, for instance-Betty Idoine and Lillian Knorr are extremely bright, and particularly lucky at never being caught out of order. Helene and Maxine Cosgray are extremely alike and they particularly like the same young man. VVilliam Mcllwaine and Murray Friedman are extremely fond of discussing the Civil VVar, and particularly, when it won't bother the teacher, which is when she out of the room. Waltei' Linsell and Lillian Laycock are extremely fond of their pretty dimples. NValter has three particularly good ones and Lillian has two good ones, and a particularly fine one she made herself by falling against the radiator. Virginia McCreery is extremely stylish and particularly fond of going to the dentist's during school hours. How she must hate school, to prefer the dentist's! Eleven

r'ul..-I-:N ERE, friend, Miss Marker, and our dear captains and we shall always remember, with pleasure, these happy years. K If as a class we have developed any very excellent traits, this year, re- member that even a comparatively excellent class could soon positively excel, under the superlative leadership of Captain X-sler. Class Prophecy for Room Four One lovely October day in 1937, Mr. Franklin Qnale, the florist, came home from a hard day 's work. At the age of twenty-tive he had settled down to a quiet life, perhaps, beginning with l1is marriage to Nancy Morrison. Nancy had finished high school and then started i11 business as a shopper for Lasalle's. She always had liked to ask questions, so here she got her chance. But after working for a few years, she got tired and thought it would be better to let SOIIIQ one work for her and Franklin was the lucky or perhaps unlucky man. Upon reaching' his home, this evening, he sat down and read the evening paper. After reading all the sports. his chief interest, he turned to the inside of the paper. Here a familiar name caught his eye. It was that of Mildred Schwyn. 'tNancy, called Franklin, please look at this. 'Mix and Mrs. Teterbauin announce the engagement of their daughter, Mildred Schwyn to Mr. Joseph Friend, the noted Socialist. Miss Schwyn has been proprietor of the Fade-a-Way Beauty Shops for some time, while Mr. Friend is especially noted for his after dinner speeches, the brevity of which, he says, is due to the long and vigorous training of his eighth grade teacher, Miss Oechslerf lVell, of all things! One would easily have guessed that fifteen years ago, replied Nancy. t'And glance over this! exclaimed her husband. 'Miss Virginia Mc- Creery has just resigned from teaching mathematics at Scott High School. 'Tis said she needs complete rest after trying to teach Freshman algebraf Also, 'Mr. Mason Holt has invented a new kind of desk with a waste-basket attachment on the side. This is to be used in Scott High'. I wish he had invented it years ago, for he always had gobs of paper and dirt around his desk when we went to school together, re1na1'ked Nancy. But hurry, Franklin,'l said Nancy, we have to get dressed. Tonight is the fifteenth annual reunion of our eighth grade class, and we l11l1SlZl1't be late, for no stragglers are allowed, you know. At this remark, Franklin started up-stairs. In an hour Nancy and he were to be seen speeding along in their car towards Stay-a-NVhile. Rebecca Lane's tea house, on the River Road, where the reunion was to be held. Rebecca enjoyed her tea house very much, we imagine, because here she could eat as much cake and candy as she wanted to. I imagine that was why she chose to have one. Upon arriving at the Tea House, Nancy and Franklin were met by many of the people who had been their eighth grade chums. At this reunion to-night, there were Maxine and Helene Cosgray, noted Thlrteen
