THE ROUND TABLE 3 OUR “JUNIOR HIGH” Surely it can be called “our” Junior High although we have not roamed its old familiar hallways for many years. The student body will never forget the year the building so dear to their hearts and lives was erected—1901. The simplicity of its style we owe to the architect, Fred M. Truex. Years have tumbled by and now everyone finds its rooms occupied by helpful and conscientious teachers. Miss Seeley Miss Schofield Mrs. Manning Mrs. Decker Miss Richards Miss Harris Miss Rowe Mrs. Kuhn Miss Ely Miss Cain Mrs. Pearsall Miss Hotchkiss Miss Gates Miss Steele Miss Reed Mrs. Conro Miss Breckenridge Miss Weis Last but not least is Miss La Fetra, our music director. After, if by chance you should pass through the halls, you can hear the warbling “do, ra, me,” of the Tiny Tots who have yet to have the good fortune of occupying its hall- ways and class-rooms. I could not successfully close with- out mentioning our efficient principal —of the Junior High—Mr. Harry Seiber, one of the most devoted and conscientious principals that Red Bank Junior High has ever had. A. M. E., ’26. -------o------- CANDY SALES The plan of selling candy (conduct- ed by the Senior Class) has been fol- lowed very successfully during the

THE ROUND TABLE 5 FIRST PRIZE THE WILL AND THE WAY Everyone knows how crowded the street cars of New York are at any time; so it is not difficult to imagine that it is next to impossible to find even standing room during the holiday season. William Dean and his sister Barbara were going on a shopping expedition, but as Mrs. Dean was using the car for the afternoon, it was necessary for them to go by trolley. As the Broadway car, with its occu- pants crowded like sardines in a can, jogged down town. Will decided—as was not unusual—to play a trick on Bob, as Barbara’s friends usually called her. Putting his hand into her pocket, adroitly he drew out her purse, and, unnoticed, slipped it into his own pocket. As the two youthful shoppers squeezed their way out of the car and were elbowed across the street, an in- fectious twinkle danced in Will’s clear blue, mischievous eyes, and he smiled in anticipation of Bob’s confusion. Intent on the swaying crowds. Bob remained wholly unconscious of her brother’s amusement. “Well, Sis,’’ he asked when they were in the elevator in Altman’s, “how do you feel after being sandwiched in there with people of all nationalities? Suppose we go home in a taxi?’ “Oh, no!’’ she exclaimed, “that was great fun! It is so seldom we get a chance to have a lark like that! Wasn’t that little Polish baby just along side of me perfectly adorable?” “My dear Bob, you are absolutely hopeless, falling in love with a little ball of garlic like that!” he admon- ished playfully. Jubilantly he watched while she picked out the things she wanted, say- ing to himself all the while, “Just wait till she finds that it’s gone! Just wait! Oh, Boy! Some excitement. I’ll bet!” You can imagine his amazement when she calmly took out her purse and paid for her purchases! Waiting for his chance till Bob went to try on a dress, he hastened to a lonely desk in a far corner of the waiting room where he emptied the purse of its contents and began to ex- amine them. It contained about fifteen dollars in money, a handkerchief with the letter “C” embroidered in one cor- ner and last but not least a letter. It
