...ETERNAL MOMENT-E.M. Forster -Harcourt Brace ($2.50). Fifteen years ago when these stories were written, television was not an accomplished fact, nor flying taken for granted.

"Buck" Halperin, another footballer, captain for next fall, followed Al and Sam. So did Lawrence ("Larry") Forster, baseball captain; so did Arthur ("Art") Bramhall, star pitcher; so did Edwin Fogarty, social light; Millard Meyers, Oak Park funnyboy; the two popular Hadfield boys, Bill and Bud-and many another. It was a veritable procession of Oak Park notables, 51 of the leading boy students...
