The ShulI'l'on LITERARY Class His'I'ory It was during the worst depression the world had ever known that men were busily engaged in a relief project at the Shull Junior High School: blasting was necessary many times. As one of these explos.ions was taking place, a large rock was dislodged from the bank, under which was found a sheet of paper-old, but neatly folded. Upon examination, it was found to be a document issued to a group of boys and girls, giv- ing them permission to evade daily Shull Junior High School for a period of three years, but with several provisions-that they make good use of their time, be loyal to their school, and protect its property. They would then be known as loyal Shul1ites, Early in September, 1932, anxiously and fearfully, these same Shullites ' entered the master building, located at the corner of Berwick and 'S-eitz Streets, for the first time. Under the guidance of Mr. Stecker and his assistants, a place was found for all. , The year went by in a humdrum sort of way, and when the summer vacation came, it meant little more than just a good time, exc-ept that each p-erson was. to go on to a higher grade when next the school bells would ring. In the fall, the same group with less eager faces but brighter eyes marched in an orderly manner to their various classrooms, anxious to g-et started on th-eir year's work and show their scholastic, athletic, and musical abilities. This year they proved to be a help rather than a hindrance to their neighbors, and it was with regret that they departed to their various homes for a two months' rest. ' Many ev-ents took place during the following yearp The Shullton required much attention, the operetta much 'prac- tice, and the lessons much study. To the best all-round boy and girl representing his and her class, the American Legion offered an award. The posture contest was held in which many of the Shu1l- ites competed. The three best boys and girls were given pins: gold, silver, and bronze-according to their rating of posture. On the twenty-second of May, a celebration was held and the May Queen was crowned, various dances were enjoyed, and the relay races proved exciting to the end. eleven

The Shullion Marching Forward Grace Seip, 9-1 The theme of our last issue is that of a circus, chosen be- cause of the pleasure which the circus affords everyone. Its pleas- ing surprises remind us of those awaiting us at Easton High School. Although we regret to leave Shull, still we are expect- ant and curious of our future activities. Saying good-bye to our teachers, fri-ends who have helped us in ev-ery undertaking, is a diflicult thing to do, and it is with sorrow that we do so. As we go on, acquiring more knowledge, we will always. be making new friends. However, our friends, formed among Junior High School teachers seem to be more than helpers. They see that we understand our work thoroughly before they pro-- ceed to more difficult phases. In institutions of higher educa- tion the teachers are quite diHerent. Th-ey resemble overseers who look upon the students as men and women, needing only orders and brief explanations. So, the bridge from Junior to Senior High School covers the gap from childhood to maturity. Thus, as we look forward to our future experience, it is sadness which accompanies us away from the door of Shull. As we think of all the happy occurrences which are ever pr-esent in our memory, we wish the best of luck to our Alma Mater, Shull Junior High School. Thoughis on Leaving Shull Marie Van Doren, 9-1 Farewell to Shull. our term now ending, Three happy years have passed. and we must part Our steps to Senior High will soon be wending. But as we go, we leave with heavy heart. The happy days I spent in this dear school. Will long remain a treasure in my heart Our books, our play, our rules- But now the best of friends must part. Those that follow in our steps To carry on the work we now forsake, Vkfe hope they don't lack the pep, . To keep the teachers wide awake. Farewell to Shull, we now are leaving We hope our teacher's won't be grieving! IB!!

The Shulllon Having had three -enjoyable years together, these Shull- ities go forth into a new field, eager to make good, and to be an honor to Shull and to the Red and Blue. - Class Prophecy lThe Forlune Teller of l'he Circusl Let us come up close to the tent of the gypsy and listen to the future as it is disclosed. Here come some people from 9-l, the college-preparatory section of Shull. Wonder what fate has in store for them! Listen, the gypsy is talking now. Fred Walter is the first one in the tent. I see strange sights, in the crystal which tell me wonderful things about the pupils of Shull Junior High School. Fred Walter, you are to become Secretary of the Treas- ury. Clf so, goodbye Treasuryj Grace S-eip, you will become a Latin teacher. Have pity on your pupils. Ray Moser will be striving to prove evolution, and June Kelchner will be teaching the art of reducing in her own school. Betty Keck will be illustrating for magazines. Dale Schrader will b-e successor to Walter Winchell, and Robert Howard will be editor of the New York Times. Another familiar face comes into the picture. It is Robert Sharkey taking place of Mr. Everitt as Shull's gym instructor. The intercollegiate football champions will boast of hav- ing Victor Cuvo and James Miller as the strength of their back field. There seems to be a lot of trouble but now the scene is clearing, and it proves to be Robert Sassaman working on a poor victim who has the toothache. Paul Mclnerney will be a Math teacher and Tony Em- bordino will be a radio star succeeding Harpo Marx. Leah Gaffney will also be a radio star succeeding Gracie Allen. Next come the 9-2 pupils. Sara Morrison will become a great comedienne. Ruth Haas will fulfill her childhood ambition and become a beautiful clothes model, while Grace Glory will win her fame by singing over the radio. Arlene Oldt will at last settle down to a quiet life, while Margaret Seip will be playing guard on a World famous bas- ketball team. twelve
