# "My Schoolmates" - Judge Magazine This illustration depicts a classroom scene with the title referencing the poignant quoted lines: "And daily each one stranger grew / Till only memory joined their hands." The sketch shows a schoolmaster or teacher at a desk addressing a group of students standing behind him. The artistic style and melancholic quotation suggest this piece reflects on how schoolmates, once close during their shared school years, gradually become strangers as they age and diverge into different adult lives. Only shared memories of their school days remain to connect them. The satire appears gentle rather than sharp—a nostalgic commentary on the inevitable dissolution of childhood friendships and the passage of time, a theme common to Judge magazine's mix of humor and social observation.
