HISTORY OF JUNE CLASS It was on the twenty-eighth day of the month in the year 1925 that a group of youngsters entered the Joseph Medill High School. We still recall our mingled feelings of fear and joy when we were given the opportunity to choose our course of study. Of course we were immediately nicknamed Freshies,', a name which lasted for five months-a name which is now but a memory. After a few weeks of school we were invited by the big sisters to attend a Fresh- man Frolic , where each Freshy was given loads of fun and a lolly-pop. Time rolled on and soon we received our semester credits. We were no longer Freshies g we were advanced freshman. We organized a club which we called The Advanced Freshman Club g and didnlt we have fun at the meetings! We were invited to several programs given by the C. I. L., which we enjoyed very much. That semester went along much more smoothly and much more enjoyably. Alas! our freshman year was over and into the Sophomore year we went with all the knowledge of the first year behind us-yet with us. And oh, how proud we were to be called Sophomoresl, to drop our vowels in shorthand and go sixty words a minutel, to handle expensive machinesl, to get into complications in book- keeping! - We are now advanced Sophomores, and the proud possessors of graduation pins. VVe, as graduates, are contributing money to the Christmas milk fund: we are helping edit the school paper: we are champions in basketball: we are print- ing the graduation programs: we are managing the Medill Savings Bank: we are planning for graduation. In our hearts there is again both joy and sorrow. We are glad because we have reached the climax of our high school course, and sorry because we must leave Page 71 A I ALC. - ..-g1,,,,,,,Lqy, Q -milllln .. .asm iff?

Although we have thought at times that our teachers were responsible for our unnecessary troubles, work, and disappointments, we now realize that it was all for our own good. The future is unknown! The class of twenty-seven will separateg its mem- bers will pursue different lines of work. But no matter how successful we may become, we shall always look back with pleasure to the two happy years spent here. W'e know that we can never repay all our teachers for their efforts and the train- ing they have given us, but we do desire to express to them our hearty thanks and sincere appreciation. Adeline Goldberg Anna Slutsky PROPHECY FOR FEBRUARY CLASS It is the year of 1960-thirty-three years since Iwas graduated from the Medill High School. A I am the happy wife of a well-to-do financier. Having nothing particular to do, I devote my time to charity work. I have formed a number of societies in various parts of Europe, and spend much time traveling to these various head- quarters to superintend matters, and to see how things are advancing. Most of my trips are unexciting, but during this last one, I had so much excite- ment that I must put it in writing. It was a wonderful summer day when I boarded the Berengaria,'. The pier was crowded with all sorts of people, among whom were a number of my very dear friends to see me off. Finally the goodbyes were said, and the waving of hands was over. After setting things to right in my stateroom, I went out on deck to enjoy the breeze. Immediately I began observing my fellow passengers. They all looked very interesting, but I was soon especially attracted by a well-dressed, lovely looking woman. She glanced up and caught my eye. She was playing with a bright little youngster whom I judged from appearance was her grandchild. She seemed to study me too, and suddenly a flash of recognition came upon her. She walked over to where I was standing and said, I beg your pardon, but you remind me of a very clear classmate whom I have lost track of during the last thirty years. Her name was Mildred Meyers. She startled me for a moment for it was my maiden name. Wiho was this person! I studied her vaguely familiar face for a moment. She suddenly laughedg then I knew her-Freida Siegel, of course! Those same dark eyes and that laugh! Who could forget it! It awakened many memories of our dear old school days, and also a desire to know what had become of our dear old classmates. Spying two deck chairs, we sat down, and talked for a long time. Our conversation was largley of the different classmates we had come across occasionally. She told me that Esther Friedman and Rose Feltman were holding responsible positions at the McCormick Harvester Company, and were still good friends as in the old days. She had heard from various sources that Pearl Charsky and Celia Lerman were on the stage and that Rose Goldfein was in a circus doing midget stunts. She told me that she was taking a trip to Paris, to put her grandson in a famous musical conservatory. lVe spent many pleasant days on board, and at Paris went to the same hotel-the Hotel La Paix, in the famous Rue Scribe, which we Page 72 It , D P -,,-,.,, - - ..,,,1L6w 'mllllll W , f43M..1ff.s f ,F ' 4,.Q,,L:L-A ,..,. ,anis l,,...t,1., ' ..- 1.1 1 If -,li-t 1... 5
