started them on their varied careers.
The old school building in West
Fortieth street resounded with their

rain to listen to a volume Of melody
as they sang their old school songs.

Schmuck headed the group as they
filed into the school room at o'clock.
For three hours the men, gray or
silverhaired in cases where hair was
still In evidence, went through the
exercises that marked the routine of
their school days. Under the tear
dimmed gaze of their old teacher
they were all at their places in the
little desks upon which they wrote
their lessons back in the 70s, sos and
90s when the future was thing OF
dreams.

nonds was presented to Miss Ma
