High ~ohool, in ~rooklyn, who were afraid
they
were going to flunk in algebra. When the teacher
asked how mu.ch
is
~-square-plus-B -square - that was the
unknown
quantity,
so far as they were concerned.
At the
same time, the parents at home bad bright expectations
ol
how their young hopefuls
would
shine in algebra. today the
fourteen year old ringleader explained: •1 was afraia
01
•hat
my father
would
do to me
if I flunked.•
Their teacher in mathematics was Miss
Margaret Jokiel, youn

Next, they selected

a threat over the telephone.

For
this they picked a
twelve-7ear old -
because he still had a

voice. the
other• were
breaking into baritone and bass, and they
figureA tbe
YO
of tbe t
w
elve
year
old
would
be taken for a girl••

That would throw off suspioi6n, the young he~o•• •illiaa
to throw the blame on the
girls.

The
way
they timed
it,
the twelve year
ola mouthpiece
w
ould be talking on the phone to the
te
a

her home
-
when
the guns
went
into action.
But it happened that
Miss

was
not noae
that evening -
she
w
as
in
Manhattan
attending a concert.
bo
her mother
answered
the telephone, ano heard the
soprano voice of the twelve year

announcin& that
unless
Miss
Jokiel

passed
everybooy in her

class, she
would
be •pushing up the ~aisiea.• that
was ominous; ~ .
the old sinister gan1ater
phrase - •pushing

As the teacher's mother liatened to
this murderous
menance, a volley of shot• rang out·
and shattered every
window
in the front of the house.

~o they
opened fire

next morning they went to school,

asked how mu.ch
is
~-square-plus-B -square - that was the
unknown
quantity,
so far as they were concerned.
At the
