According to Milton, if Satan should try to regain Paradise this would be his first place of attack. Ilm giving the young people fire drills in case of emergency. However, I suppose you recognize my able assistants. They are Martin Rosensweig. Harold Katz, Salvatore Stacchio, Hyman VVeitz- buch. The lieutenant marshalls are George Schlan and Charles Schoenberg. The owner of the Straus Building and the Editor exchanged amused glances. Before either could comment however, the four speed messingersu, Sold Gold, Max Beegun, Edwin Baron, and Sam Levey rushed up. At last! shouted Levey, a poisonless poison has been invented by Isadore Tanser, the famous pharmacist. Jacob Flox, our multi-millionaire, disgusted with his many millions attempted to commit suicide by drinking this poison. Hardly had it been swallowed when he regretted his rash act. Hastily re-examin- ing the bottle he learned greatly to his surprise and joy that the poison was poison- less. He rewarded the pharmacist by carrying out his wish to bestow pharmaceuti- cal facilities on dear old Medill. Nobody is more delighted than Estelle Mallach. Jacob Kaplan who teaches physics and pharmacy there, and John Capasso who teaches chemistry. Sam Fralick and Sam Steinberg, directors of athletics have at last achieved their heart's desire! Medill has a new gym!l Hooray! shouted the class of ,27 as a body. Oh, Bertha, exclaimed Vlasta Neumann, the great poetess of that period who had joined the group, 'fyou were once interested in writing. Come here a moment. Curious to find what new surprises awaited them, the newcomers followed her into an ofiice which would please the heart of any stenographer. There sat the three musketeers, Sylvia Aaronson, Dena Davidson, and Beatrice Neboshik typing at the heavenly speed of Ioo words per second. They've formed a joint publishing corporation with the authors Edda Friedman, Louise Legno and Hen- rietta Klein. From their profits, they distribute the books to poor but deserving students, explained Vlasta. What's that?', queried the Editor upon hearing some music in the next room. Oh, that's the divine dancing class where the very latest steps are taught. White Bottom, etc. Mollie Eisner is the head of it, aided by Belle Gross, and Minna Hacker. They,ve got a dandy orchestra. Sam Spector is the leader. Isadore Polisky, Abe Rabinovitz, and George Parrilli play the wind instruments. Dorothy Portu- gais plays the Xylophone, and Anna Laks the piano, and Nick Santucci plays the largest accordion you ever laid eyes onl', We often get messages from Albert Lippman and Morris Keller. abruptly broke in Wm. Metropolis proud possessor of a large chain of Gutter 6: Yegg stores. They're at the north pole installing a system of wireless telegraphy. They experi- ment by sending messages to a group of women explorers at the South Pole. I think you remember them-Elsie Prohaska, Anna Schatz, Mollie Paller, Fannie Danis and Edythe Dick. They've done the most yet for civilization in the way of exploring. Well, remarked Bertha, I always said women could do great things. I disagree with you, said a dignified personage who had walked up, sur- rounded by a guard of honor, consisting of Louis Schein, Abe Sucheman, Oscar ,H Steinberg.

Shades of Milton! exclaimed the Editor of the Tribune emerging from under a sea of copy, who's there? Hello, editor?', sang a voice over the wire. Yes, growled Her Majesty, Hwhaddaye want? YVho? 'What? Sure! Why that's one of ,27. Be there in ten minutes!', Half an hour later, the regal ruler of the Tribune was hastily ascending the marble stairs of the Straus Building. Dashing into the Board of Directors' Room she found-Bertha Rabinovich blithely changing the dull gray draperies for some of brighter orange hue. Shades of Milton, what's the big idea? Merely Paradise Gained. I've just bought the Straus Building and am chang- ing the curtains as I promised to do when I was just a youngster graduating the Medill High School. Fine, but how about this invention you were speaking of? Oh that! You see, Teddy Cohen invented an aeroplane that not only takes people up to the clouds but through them direct to the Gate of Heaven. A number of people have already ventured to take the trip. Now this is my idea: keep the thing cluiet, take a trip up there ourselves-and presto-what a scoop for the paperl. W'hat a scoop! Say, let's start right now! Hold on there-not so fast, young woman, arrangements must be made first , laughed Bertha. Four hours later, attired in fur coats, Editor Ida and her friend ascended skyward, through billowy clouds above the snow-capped towers of Chicago. Higher and higher they rose until they arrived at a Golden Gate. A strangely familiar voice called from within, W'ho is without?i' We are, responded the Royal Ed., we are without lunch. Open that door! The door swung open, and before the earthly visitors had time to get their bearings, the gate-keepers bestowed decidedly mortal kisses upon the lips of each. Why Minnie Robinson and Faye Chornow! What on earth-- came simul- taneously from the arrivals. You mean, 'what in heaven',l' laughed both. - You see, Faye took up the story, I've got a repertoire theatre company here and we're putting on a play. Calling it The Old School -all the characters are members of our old high school class. There are Sam Cohen and Sylvia Cohen, the hero and heroine. Anna Cavone, the stately old mother, Sam Kaplan, the villain, Beatrice Goldstone and Mary Vollen, representing the modern flappersn. By the way, interrupted Minnie who was, so she stated, the Chairman of the Town Council, you are just in time. Matilda Vengeroff and Ben Hofiing are being married today. It's a very elaborate affair. Rose Fidelman is the Maid of Honor and Max Klass, the Best Man. Christina Muscato, and Ruth Grim- menga who are reported to be engaged to reputable business men are the brides- maids. The ushers are Irving Radonsky and Simon VVein. But before you do anything else, I want you to see something that's the pride of our 'Divine Colony', put in Faye. Thus saying she led the way to an open space where a man was inpsecting the various fire squads. h Upon seeing the visitors, the commander immediately rushed forward to greet - Page 31 ra 1 .

Not only are they in charge of it iinancially but they also appear before their audiences, charming the very angels, with their beautiful voices. And have you seen our exclusive clothing shop? Arnold Rizer, Isadore Pit- kofsky and John Parrilli own it. Esther Fleischer designs all the gowns. i I-Ie then asked, Have you seen the hospital which had just been erected by the well known contractors, Harry Schwartz, and Isadore Nimsivitz? Facilities for operation were such high standard as could only be obtained in heaven. Due to these facilities which had been provided by Sol Cotler, cures were brought about which had been considered impossible. Max Applebaum has received thanks from the entire universe for his wonderful cure of cancer. , Ben Elster, head surgeon and Christopher Marzano, chief physician of the hospital were rapidly gaining renown together with Mary Sandler, the only woman doctor in the Colony. A large staff of nurses were under the supervision of Ida Kalender, Rose Orenstein and Dorothy Orloff. A daily visitor to the hospital and one who brought much cheer to the invalids through her dramatic recitations was Hannah Rabens, known as 'The Fair Lady'. Morris Vifolfson and Philip I-Iucker have finally succeeded in his great undertaking as 'Painless Dentist', and were enjoying the tribute of old and young alike. The mayor paused out of breath and then rather regretfully stated I'm sorry but I must leave you now for a reception is given for some opera prima donnas, the hostess is Marilyn Zapolsky, the famous pianiste, and Jennie Katz, well known in society. The editor looked at her watch. Goodness, she exclaimed, I must be getting back to the oHicel So amid farewells and regrets, the visitors departed. - Shades of Milton, exclaimed the editor as they wended their way homeward. VVe've reviewed all the old class of I927.,, Yes, agreed her companion, Hand we've also had the experience so often mentioned by your beloved Milton-Paradise Regained. I wonder how the public likes my orange curtains. Pasf 33 5-
