 * School 18 Alumni Honors Old Teacher**

A touching tribute was paid last night to Edward BUSH, for more than half a century principal of Public School 18, Maujer and Leonard streets, at the annual banquet of the Alumni Association of the school, which was held in the Hanover Club, Bedford avenue and Rodney street. As the former principal entered the banquet hall he was greeted by the school yells he had taught the boys and girls years ago.

Although eighty-six years old the venerable schoolmaster is still strong and healthy and takes an active interest in the affairs of the association. He was obliged to respond to the warm welcome that was given him and made a simple but impressive address in which he recalled the days of long ago when most of those present, many of whom are now prominent in professional and commercial fields, attended his school in knickerbockrs and short skirts.

Of particular pleasure to the association was the announcement that Public School 18 will soon be able to occupy the new wing of the building which is rapidly being completed and will replace the old building. It was pointed out that the Board of Education in appreciation of the faithful work of Mr. BUSH, has unanimously decided to name it "The Edward BUSH School." Addresses were made by Henry C. JAHNE, president of the Writers¹ Club; District Supt. of Schools Henry E. JENKINS, John J. CLANCY, president of the Henry D. WOODWORTH Public School 17 Association; George W. STEVENS, president of the Old South Fourth Street School Association, and John ANDERSON, president of the Old First Class of Public School 16 Association.
