The Carson Memorial To perpetuate the memory of a man who served with untiring diligence as Superintendent of the Marengo Schools for thirty two years-to honor a man whose great uplift- ing influence in the molding of the characters of the youth of the community has been widely felt-and. in a prac- tical way, to pay a fitting and lasting tribute to him-- C. H. Carson-is the aim of the Carson Memorial. With the money raised by popular subscription of al- umni, local organizations, and friends of Mr. Carson, there will be placed in Marengo's new high school build- ing a system of clocks, electrically controlled by a master clock in the Superintendent's office, with a time signal to announce class periods. Mr. Carson died the day after Christmas, in 1923, with his long cherished hope for a ,new school building unrealized. ln his passing, there was lost not only to our school an eminent scholar, a conscientious instructor, and a man always solicitous for the best interests of the youth of the community, but to all who knew him, a sincere friend. We who were fortunate enough to go to school under Mr. Carson can remember his kindly admonition to be studious. diligent, and punctual. How appropriate then is this Memorial to take his place in the classrooms and corridors of our dear high school and to impress these lessons for years to come upon the students of our Alma Mater. -L.

D0 YOU REMEMBER 'WAY BACK WHEN A Mildred Lonergan wore green stockings to school o,n St. Patrick's Day and wouldn't go home to change them as she didn't have any others? Mr. Kosel took Miss Ariel Merritt home from the Junior Party? Clarence Slaymaker used to have the job of chief fly-getter out of ink bottles in bookkeeping class, and the day Miss Helen Merritt said, Clarence, go over there and sit down, and he did---on a tack? . i Joe Franey threw a snowbell at i'Dutch Colson, in the assembly? Mr. Gratke tried to arrange the couples at the 1924 Junior-Senior Banquet. and the boys had to put him in his place, and then he had the courage to sing I Fear no Foe ? Deek Chandler and Jack Fry came to school with moustaches and Mr. Carson sent them downstairs to wash their faces? Vernon Tuttle fell so hopelessly for Miss Dorothy Gilmore? fShe is happily married now and lives in Centervillej The books used to be shuffled several times a year in the assembly room? John Fry, Clyde McCoy and Maurice Field used to trade names when a new teacher came into school? Tubby Branch started clapping fialonel after Prof. Magoon gave a lecture on 'fools' on Hard Time Day? Mr. McGoon issued the edict against gum chewing, which prompted someone to write, Upon the bricks the gumdrops grow: Like well-tilled gardens, row on row? A lot of students took typing at the Annex at the 3:30 period so as to get uptown? Si Slaymaker crushed Mr. Carson's derby with a drop-kick? A bunch of would-be book shufflers had to slide down the drain pipe from the assembly room to escape the cops? The Freshies used to think they were intimidating the whole town when they swooped from the high school building to the Annex with wild resounding war whoops? The Annex afforded the lvans and Emilies a pleasant stroll between classes? Cammie used to teach shorthand in a corner of the assembly and the typing room was in the front end of the assembly? Yes I remember, you say, but them days are gone forever. -L. L. H.
