22 ,, ,vas ,,- Sabinite junior MY LIFE THUS FAR By Sol Bellnuv I doubt if many children of my age have had as varied experiences as I have had. I was born in the little town ot Lachine Quebec, a suburb of Montreal, on june 10, 1915, the youngest of four children, there being my two brothers, and my sister. In Europe my father had been a wealthy man, but in Canada he became a bakery driver. I M y mother tells me that as a child I liked to try to eat paper and coal. NVe had a family of kittens, and my favorite Continued from page 17 CAST john Smith ..., ..-H . ,... . BVIHIU Jlfyfjf-1' Capt. jerry ,..,. .Morton Sonrwnsrhien Sir Henry Olney .,.,..

The first act takes place on the shores of Virginia. It includes the landing of john Smith and the Englishmen, the choosing of the Governor: John Smith's, Sir Henry Olney's and Sir James Comp- ton's trading with the Indians and the remaining Englishmen's preference to Dream rather than work. The second act takes place in the Camp of Powaton, the chief of his tribe. It includes the braves and papooses at play. the report of the scouts, Pocahontas and her friend's canoe ride, the taking of the pale faces as prisoners, the Pow Wow, Pocahontas to the rescue. and the truce. Bruno Mytys did his part exceptionally well, and Harriet Romanowski, sang as sweetly as any oriole. The choruses, were very good and did credit to Miss Helen Byrne, who supervised and pro- duced the operetta. pastime was to put them into the bath. and let the water run. At the age of two I put my left foot into the stove. This foot still bears a mark. I remember the time when at the age of three I was allowed to hold the reins of my father's horse. l1'hen I was four the family movcl to Montreal. I remember the house also. It was large and roomy. and ancient. At the age of five I entered Strathorn Scllrol Kindergarten. The teacher was Z1 French girl and made us repeat the morning prayer after her. The first lines went like this, Our fathers fought in heasen. what shall be our name. When I came home I asked my brother if my father fought in heaven over my name. an'l he said he did not know. Montreal is a wonderful place for a boy to live in. Everything a boy can wish for is there. There is nutting in the fall, skiing, skating, sleigh riding, Cozitinucd from page 21 Miss Sinnott's Classes 9.-X Toby Bernstein , ,-. , . . .- .-, , 108 Rosalie Mernlelstein H- ,, J 108 911 Anna Kalesz ..... -- --- 310 Rose Levin L- . - .I . . ., 310 SK .-Xasc Ornbo , ,, 212 Sollie Carnow , . 212 Sli Mary Zalesmy . - - - 102 'Theodore jakim ,, , .c , P. 5 lh-st all-around Connnercial students Miss Weir's Classes UA julia Glenn --...,- ,.,..

There were no mountains to climb in Lachine but, oh my! there were woods, and rapids, and Indian reservations, a rocky beach, roads to hike, berries to pick, and many other things to do. You may rest assured that I' had a good time. Every summer the Fair would come to Fletcher's Field and I would go home to see it, there I would cat popcorn and pink lemonade and gaze in wonder at Wah Wall the Indian snake charmer or at the sword swallower. In the big tent there would be clowns, and a lion drinking out of a saucer. all these things impressed me. VV hen 1 entered the Devonshire School, I was put into third grade. Then we began a study of French. I regret that I never had an opportunity to learn French thoroughly. I only remember a smattering of words. At the age of eight I underwent an operation for ap- pendicitis. The operation was not suc- cessful. and I received a blood infection. l believe now that if I hadn't had my carly training in Canada, I would never have had enough resistance to pull through. The doctors told my mother that l must be in the open air constantly. In this way I was cured, but I missed a half grade of school. During my ill- ness my father's business failed. And seeing there was no work to be found, my father decided to move to Chicago. where he would be sure to find work. My father went ahead of the family and found a job as Manager of the Imperial Baking Co. This was about five and one-half years ago. The family followed soon afterwards, and before we went I visited my birthplace and all the other places that I knew, loved so well and still remember. When we came to Chi- cago we moved to Augusta Street, and the rooms. They would crowd around I entered the LaFayette School. Here I found many friends, who were proud to have a Canadian member in me and ask me questions which aston- ished me such as. Did you live with the Indians , or Did you live with the Es- kimos , etc. In school I was no shining star either, but I soon picked up. We then moved to Cortez Street, and I en- tered the Columbus School. From then on school was easy. I entered Sabin with one hundred twenty on the intelli- gence test, a row of E's, and a lot of high hopes. I entered 2063 Miss Maher was sick and we had a young substitute Miss Nelson. The first month I walked around in a daze and came out with two D's in minors. But I came back with interest. To make up a half year that I missed, I went to summer school and made up. I am now in 8A. In my early age I wanted to be a street car conductor. Later I wanted to be a mountaineer. At the present I have bet- ter and higher ambitions, like being a professional man.

A sail appeared on the horizon, And the flag was that of a foe. All men to the guns ! Said the Captain with a yell. Split her, sink her, Our children of this victory we shall tell ! The British ship came close: Its llag waved on high: lint it is not compared with Old Glory, Whose greatness reaches the sky. The battle which followed, raged for hours. And Captain Hall was amazed, For never had a British ship held out so long. Ilut at last the British flag was lowered, And the surrender flag was raised. As the British flag was lowered, The Americans yelled with cheers: Alas , cried the British commander, The Americans have no fears! Harry Schrogin Pt. 7 It takes a little courage And a little self-control And some grim determination If you want to reach the goalg It takes a deal of striving .-'tnd :i firm and stern set chin, No matter what the battle, If yon're really out to win. There's no easy path to glory, 'l'here's no rosy road to fame: lfifc. however. we may view it, Is no simple parlor 'gamez But its prizes call for fighting. For endurance and for grit.

THE FLAG Oh beautiful Flagl of the red white and blue, That stands for the pure, the brave and the true, For You our boy's fought onl for nights and days It's You! we praise and honor always, always. The Star Spangled Banner is sung for Your fame, Francis Scott Key wrote it to honor Your name, Vlfhen he sat in that dark gloomy prison, so brave, He knew if he saw You America was saved. So always my friends and my foes, Honor the Hag where ever you go, For the red, the white and blue, Stands for the pure, the brave, and the true. Esther Simmons 301-8A THE BISHOP'S SHADOW The Bishop's Shadow , is written by Thurston , and takes place in the slums of London. It is a story of a poor boy who lived in the cheapest, dirtiest, streets of London: who lied, robbed, and did everything in the world a boy should not do. This boy was not to be blamed too much, for he had no home, no parents, and no one to guide him. This boys name was Theo. His friends at this time were Nan, Little Brother , Mr. Scott, and Mrs. Martin. After Theo. meets Nan and Little Brother he is much nicer and realizes he must take care of them until Nan can Gnd work. He loves Little Brother and will do anything for him. . One of the saddest events was when Nan and Little Brother leave. Nan has been cooking for days to earn a liv- ing and has overworked herself. The baby had become sick as he has not had enough air and it was necessary to take them away for health and rest. As Nan and the baby started on the train, their eyes met Theo's. His smile was tearful and there was a lump in his throat. He loved these precious folks and they were his only home, and pleas- ure. - As Nan held up Little Brother , whom he loved, he smiled cheerfully, and waved at last goodbye' He was a man now, he thought, and Nan needed the rest, so after thinking a while he set ol? with a light heart. This hook is so interesting, so touch- ing, so humorous that I do not know what to call it. I can only say that though this is the second time I have read it, l have been as interested in it as if it were the first time. It is not like other books I have read. It is diff- ent in a way that I can not explain. My one wish would be for the library to circulate more books like this and then I would read more.

This meant only a few hours in which to get to Chicago. liarly the following morning she boarded the great pas- senger aeroplane Sabin's Flying Bird. As she climbed into the cabin she wondered who the expert was that was going to pilot this huge bird safely across the mountains and plains for a thousand miles. She glanced toward the pilot seat and there, to her great astonishment, was Edward lasick. who later told her he was to pilot the airship. We landed on an immense island airport opposite the Stadium. The same morning after arranging to meet Irene VV0lska, who was also a member of the orchestra, having won wide spread recognition as a violinist, we found ourselves in the orchestra pit of the new Auditorium.
