Let us refresh our memories by following the footsteps of joe and Jill as they enter the classroom of their favorite teacher, lNIr. H. S. LaFayette. c'During your high school years, life must have been simply thrilling! il It certainly was! X'Vith the coming of radio, domestic relations were strained. Each radio was equipped with only one set of earphones and quarrels ensued over their use.', l'That sounds familiar, doesn't it, Jill? 'LYou bet! Wlith television in our house, there's no peace.

An alumnus of the Savage School of Physical Educa- tion and N.Y.U., Mr. Yudell taught in New Utrecht before com- ing to Lafayette fourteen years ago.

The Yudellmen crashed through the division to cop the Brooklyn title for the eleventh timefl g'Our football team romped through the season, Jill and the championship just slipped through our fingers. Joe, do you remember the wonderful time we had at the Spring Dance? How about the night we went to the Varsity Show! What was the name of it . . . Birdies on the Fireplace?U No Joe, it was Cuckoos on the Hearth and I was rolling in the aisles all through the performance. TluProsperity boomed as I entered my Senior year and Florida reached its peak as a winter resort. Red Grange the Galloping Ghost, was plunging into football fame.
