The seeond and third grades passed uneventfully. but in the fourth grade no fourth-grade type ol' autos were to be had. so the elass had to use portable ears, whieh were for those who did not get the regular ears, By this time the t-lass was eonsidered able to have its own government, so the different ofht-ers neeessary to room governinent were eleeted, Room government and portable life both turned out sueeessfully. The filth and sixth grades had to be spent in portable ears also, the only trouble arising in this period being in Deeember. 1921, when the sixth-grade driver. Mrs. lfiniiieiieeker, left. The remainder of the year was spent in Mrs. Huber's po1't:tlrle t':lI'. When the elass started out again after summer vat-ation, it was det-ided that they should try out a new system. This was the departmental system, in whieh the seventh and eighth-grade instrut-tors were to ehange autos and teaeh its oeeupants one or two sublieets that they speeialized in. This eaused some eon- fusion tor a while, but toward the middle ol' the year it was settled. The three seventh-grade instruetors at the end of the year were Mrs. Nowlan. Miss Oeehsler, and Bliss Perkins. Although it took a stop of about three minutes for eaeh change, they got along the road faster. The publieation ol' an linglish magazine, t.'lass t,'rumbs, was enjoyed by everyone. and was good reereation, Then eame the last year oi' the journey. This year, some very severe engine trouble was eused by two ot' the regular drivers from Room Nineteen leaving. However, Airs. Alyt-I's eame to the reseue, and as the master meehanie, she repaired the disorder. After that, things went smoothly. Time was taken to leave the autos and vote in the tlffieial Election of the, Seliool. It was Hot slleeessful for either ol' Room Nine-teen's eandidates, bothf losing. But the elass was duly represented in Fulton's affairs by the appoint-- ment til' lidwin Seabury as liditor-in-t'hiet' of the Fultonian, and Robert St-hmidt. Sport liditor ol' the same paper. Shortly alter Mrs. Myers eame to the rest-ue, in January, Miss Burt-hfield, an outside tea:-her, eame to the autos on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to instruet their oeeupants in art. With only a few more miles to go. in early April, 1924, three sec-tions were made. elassitietl as the A. li, and t' Set-tion. Eaeh pupil was plat-ed in the proper auto aeeording to his general standing in grades. Another feature of this plan was that the pupils 4-hanged autos instead of the drivers, and, as one pupil res marked, We are getting more like St-ott every day. Things were made joyful for everyone at the Freshmen party. All of the ears stopped lor an afternoon, and the girls wore new, pretty dresses, while the boys wore long, white duek trousers. All had a good time daneing, and were sorry to hear. Home, Sweet Home. And so endeth the raee, with more or less vietory to Room Nineteen? ereditt. Let it be hoped that the lessons learned in Fulton may be applied with added sueeess in Seott High, their destination. -EDWIN SE.-KBYRY. 7711111

,75 I-l.ll.'r:N EVE Mrs. Myers' Class At the beginning of our eighth year we organized our elass and elet-ted the Iollowmg ofhr-ers: Robert Sehmidt, president, .loe Benis, viee-president: .lane Y Crandell, seeretaryg Lenore Dresser, treasurer, and Louis Gibbons, eouneilman. These oflieers served us faithfully. Miss Sipe was our teaeher until the Christmas holidays, when she was foreed to leave us on aeeount of illness. Mrs. Myers then eame to take her plaee for the remaining time. Several of our members were elassified in the A set-tion, when a division of the elasses aeeording to seholarship was made. This seetion wrote a book on the Panama Canal, eaeh pupil eontributed soinethingg to it and Robert Ma-Iilheney of the original Room 19 was editor. We always had a good time, for when Melvin Hankenhof wasn't tied in his seat with a rope he was amusing us. .lolm Mandler always had something funny to say, too. While on the other hand, Edwin Seabury and Robert M4-lClheney were very studious. As a result they entered S1-ott with high grades-but we're not saying anything about Melvin and John. We ean't overlook the girls for Doris Williams and Dorothy Stophlet talked a good deal. While Lueille Pool and Hazel Smith represented our more studious erowd. We have had an immensely good time in this, our last year at Fulton and we hope our sueeessors will enjoy it as we have.

The Race of Room Nineteen NLIKE other raees, this raee was not earried out on any prominent raee traek, it had no eheering or exeited erowds in grandstandsg it was not noisy, nor did it start out with the shot of a pistol. Surprising as it may seem, all of us have been in one of these raees at some time in our lives, taking eight or more years to finish it. Sueh a raee takes plaee along the Road of Study. Room Nine-teen's entry into the raee was in 1915, when .lolm Mandler, Dor- othy Stophlet, Ruth Carnes, John Turner, and Virginia Et-khardt were tueked into a ear of the kindergarten type whieh was driven by Miss Chase. For one glorious year they played and played with no worries of the future. As might be expeeted, the road was not all as smooth as it was the first year. The ehief delays were eaused by the rapid inerease of roeks, whieh were of the T:iv'nlr-run:

We explainell our troubles :intl were taken baek to Fulton clays in earnest when Sam's laugh at our ignoranee prec-erlefl his answer.

The next thing to startle our eyes was the sight of a man apparently stanfl- ing in miclair.
