THE MEDILLITE 23 History of Feb., Class EATED in a crowded hall of a famous hotel are eighty-eight men and women different from each other in many ways: one a doctor of fame and renown, another a chief justice of the Supreme Court: here a famous criminal lawyer, there a merchant of great wealth: yet they all go under the name of Medil1 Alumni Class, '28. As theysit talking and rehearsing the days gone by, an announcement is given stating thattthe play Four Years at Medill is to be performed. - As the curtain rises, the audience immediately recognize the scenery. as their old time study hall, 307. They see a group of lowly freshmen, staring widely as they receive excellent advice from their esteemed princi- pal, Mr. Hall, and their beloved dean, Miss Adams. The scene changes. The frosh are seen wandering through different classrooms, programs in their hands, bewilderment in their eyes. They become acquainted with the ferocious monsters, Algebra, Physiology and the like, and with various teachers who mean well but don't show it. In another scene is shown the freshie, half civilized and settled to the routine of school life. Slight inci- dents occur which make school life interesting, such as Freshman Frolic, Pig Tail Day, not mentioning ditching slips, and the bringing of parents to school. Act II finds the freshie with the greenish color worn off and a step advanced. He has lost that despicable title, freshman, and is now known as the honorable Mr. Sophomore. At last he has the privilege of bossing someone, and he abuses the privilege on the oncoming freshmen. Now he is flooded with new subjects, such as Geometry and Botany. He strug- gles hard to find why Brutus killed Caesar, and wonders why Shakespeare didn't die instead. Act III opens with a bang. The juniors now take part in school activities playing an important part in school life. They spend nights over subjects like Physics and General History. This year passes fast. Now comes the Senior year in Act IV. From the lowly frosh the class has advanced to the mighty senior. Who are so high, so proud, or so powerful as the seniors? They rule the school with a strong arm: and with the aid of Big Brothers, Chesterfieldians, and Big Sisters, they keep the undergraduate on the straight and narrow path. In this act many im- portant scenes are noted. Scene I is the Chesterfieldian Banquet, an affair greatly enjoyed by all who attend. In Scene II the lights grow dim as the glowing spectacle of the Medill Prom is shown. Eyes moisten in the audience, for the scene reminds them of that glorious occasion The Medill Prom. The last scene of the play is a stage on which are eighty-eight four- year graduates. This is the conclusion of four years of life, four years to be remembered by eighty-eight people as long as they live. ABE POLLACK 24 THE MEDILLITE Four-Year Prophecy FEB. CLASS of 1928 NLY A FEW MORE DAYS TO GRADUATION! How excit- ing it all is! Wonder what my classmates will be doing about twenty years from now. Such thoughts were running through my mind as I was getting off a street car on Washington and Dearborn Streets. The street was covered with ice. As l stepped down my foot slipped and I fell. Down, down, down, into a dark, empty, never-ending abyss I went till I landed with a bump that opened my eyes. At first I felt dizzy and weak. but soon I was able to make out a sign that said: WELCOME TO DEMILI... Evi- dently this was the outskirts of a town or a city, and being puzzled as to my whereabouts I decided to walk into it. The sight that met my eyes as I stood there on a hillock in a large plain stunned me for a moment. Never had I dreamed of so perfect a city! The plain seemed to be a landing and parking place for the air- planes of the citizens. To the southrwas a tunnel with a sign before it that read: TO SUBWAY. . This must be where all the business and transportation is carried on, I surmised, for I saw no streets, street-cars, or automobiles. The city itself was a great, green square on which tall, graceful sky- scrapers were artistically placed. These were the residences of the citizens, it seemed, and a very ultra-modern air they had. Though these wonders held my attention for a while, I heard a familiar voice. Turning my head, I saw a well-built young woman, her blonde hair almost down to her waist, climbing out of a snappy sport model airplane. Oh, Becky, is it really you? Please tell me where I am. Hello, Ethel: we were all expecting you today, for it is exactly twenty years since we received our diplomas. This is Demill, the model city of the world, Sidney Waller built it. Among the inhabitants are many of the Medill class of February, 1928. I just arrived from Europe, where I was voted the world's most graceful dancer. Now let's go home and celebrate. On our way to the city, Becky told me she had met with the highest society in Europe. Iean Korzen, Rose Mendelsohn, Anne Stein, Dorthye Askhanaz, and Bessy Saberman had each married into the nobility and were rulling the society world. A grand opera house had been established in Paris by Morris Monitz, Carmina Stumpo, Lewis, and Dorothye Cutler. Their productions were operatic gems. Although I was so engrossed in my chum's report, I noticed a commo- tion and a crowd gathering in the middle of the square. ' It can't be an accident. We don't have any here, said Becky. The center of attraction turned out to be two tall young men. They were having a playful quarrel in the square when a policeman interrupted them, I soon recognized them as Charles Abrams and Sidney Meyers. The policeman was Ben Moscovitz. After exchanging greetings, Ben invited us to go to the court-room with them, as many of our classmates would be there. ' The court-room was built in the style of a night club that I had seen before. We were shown to a table by a handsome waiter. Him I re- member as Ben Mazur, for he looked just as he had on Prom night in his tuxedo. THE MEDILLITE H zs I looked around the room and saw the inseparable tri-umvirate, Fern Bunnin, Frieda Enzer, and Annette Feldman, with their husbands, at a nearby table. They had married their bosses' sons and were here for the latest scandal. In one corner of the room a great many people were toast- ing a pretty woman. She was Sara Levy, I was informed, who was still very popular and was now divorcing her seventh husband. Represent- atives of the Press were there in the persons of Ben Kaplan, Robert Roth, Rae Spiegel, and Bernard Zhitnick. They were on the staff of the Demill Daily, an international newspaper of great fame. Abe Pollack was the Editor. On a plaform at the end of the room a jazz band led by Bert Lus- kin played a lively tune, and the attorneys took their seats. Charles New- man I recognized as the State's Prosecuting attorney. Delphin Kolin, Leon Kaufman, Roswell Perkins, and Gilbert Schatz, were pointed out to me as the foremost lawyers of the age. They were followed by the jury which consisted entirely of Medillites of 1928. There were Alex Deitch, Iudith Epstein, Bessie Geskins, Louis Golden, Aaron Mason, Irving Paul, Emma Weiner, Harry Baim, Edwin Bell, Sidney Dubofsky, Sylvia Marcovitz, and Louis Piragine. After them, amid tumultous applause, came the Iudge. He was none other than Simon Bauer. He bowed graciously and said. 'Court is adjourned. In honor of our guest we will all go to the theatre. At this, everyone started for the theatre. It was a beautiful structure and was called The Gerstein after the famous Gerstein brothers, its owners. I' got into our box and the programs were passed out. The greatest star cast, consisting of Claire Rosen, Maurice Chaletsky, and Chickie Starr, had been chosen to take part in this play, after a great world- wide search had been made for the actors. In the various boxes were the political and social notables of the city. Arthur Blitstein was with Eva Circle, while Max Blank had by his side a fair woman known as Annette Abramovitz. David Stalow and Betty Koubek were there too, but were too engrossed in each other to notice anyone. As a prologue, an act from the Follies of 1948 was shown, and such tired business men as Max Gagerman, Al Kaiser, Sam Liebovitz, Hymen Marvich, Sam Goodman, Ioe Zimberg, and Morris Schrote occupied front seats. There was little wonder in this, as the chorus girls were Val Drab- lowski, Rae Pershing, Netta Forkas, Evelyn Tabachnick, Evelyn Tatkin, Etta Goldufsky, and Flo S. Goldstein was the leading lady. We went back of the stage and congratulated all my friends. Did you show it to her yet? I heard one of the girls whisper to Beckie. No, but I am go- ing to right away, she said. What have you to tell me? I asked. But Becky silenced me and took me for a ride out of the city. We stopped before an immense building off to one side of the city that had a strangely familiar air about it. Now, said Beckey, Gaze upon the New Medill High School. And gaze I did! For there was a tall granite building with streaks of color running over it and giving it a lovely tone. Adjoining it were a golf course, a tennis court, a spacious campus, and an outdoor swimming pool that was a skating rink in winter. We went inside, where we saw beautiful statues placed around the spotlessly white marble halls. We took the elevator to the third floor and wended our way into a room which a diamond studded sign proclaimed to be 312. A strong clear voice was coming from within, Sh I Said Becky: that is the mayor addressing the Freshiesf' '26 THE MEDILLITE I quietly opened the door and wonder of wonders! 312 was the most remarkable study hall that could be immagined. And the voice belonged to fCould it realy be?l Al Schultz, our class president l My excitement, pleas- ure, and surprise were almost uncontrollable. After the assembly, Al showed me around the school. Many of my classmates were teaching here. Mary Iacobs, Pearl April, Pauline Babineau, and Myrtle Bernstein had charge of the academic department, while Ieannette Grossman, Anna Mos- chel, and Rosamond Rosinia taught commercial work. Rose Schwartz was head of the lunch room, which was the largest and most sanitary of its kind in the world. Bernard Klein was the Medill Coach and had trained his players so well that the mammoth gymnasium was filled with trophies of football, baseball, and other sports. Louis Posen had charge of another gym in which he taught the art of! keeping physically fit. Sophie Sobin had, sure enough, become head of the women's department of the physical education. When I was leaving the building I told my companions how impressed I was, and asked whether they knew of any other famous Medillites I had not seen. Al'told me that Iohn Vitacco was a champion dentist, and Iacob Rubin was blessed by all mankind for his marvelous work in the medical field. t It was already time to say goodbye, so Beckie took me to the flying field and told me to get into her airplane. She pressed a lever and the machine began to ascend. I shut my eyes and soon I heard a strange buz- zing in my ears. Becky was talking to me. Again I opened my eyes and found myself in a white bed. Becky was beside me. She told me I had split my knee and had been given an anaesthetic. So that was how I had taken my strange trip, in a dream. But who knows? Some day the class of 1928 may assemble and each member tell of his success in the world. Let us hope for the day. Class W ill , E,Tl-IE CLASS of TwENTY-E1GHT, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and under- standing, do make and publish this our last will and testament.

We give to the Freshman Class the following advice, accepting which will lead them to glory: learn to work not to win: developement comes sooner through bearing failures than successes. Wasn't fun, but still, look at us and be encouraged. 8. To our wizzy suffermores we bequeath that adorable study hall, 307 , where beauty and learning combine with dignity under its lofty arches. 9. To the juniors we leave the honor of aiding in the purchasing of trophy cases and a trophy room to shelter our championship cups and shields. ' 10. Lastly, to the aspiring Seniors we bequeath the senior seats in our chapel. To them all stubs of pencils, scraps of papers, and all other neces- sities in school we leave in our haste. May this be an aid to their brain- fervor. ll. To our beloved Dean. Miss M. Ioice Addams. We do hereby constitute and appoint the said Dean sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In the presence of a Notary Public, we set our seal. BERNARD KLEIN. BEN B. KAPLAN Class Attorneys. C, THE MEDILLITAE 4 '4' DORIS ALTMAN A little bnshful, a little shy, But is she popular! Oh MY!

Old Sol casting his cheerful, sunny beams with all their splendour upon this gigantic citadel, the North Wind resting contentedly, the rustling of the brownish leaves, which had erst-while arrayed themselves in their autumn Hnery, as gentle breezes glided ever so smoothly between the halos of space which were so prominent in their realm-all these seemed to proclaim the fact that it was a great day in the annals of not only our splen- did Cicago, but of this whole wide world besides. And was it a great day? -. My children, you may bet your hyphenated theosophism it was. For on that day the most phenomenal aggregation of boys and girls that was ever compiled assembled at the threshold of Medill High School meekly seeking admission as students. . Yea, verily, they became students. But ohl the trials and struggles of that gruesome first year! Not enough that they were tagged 'with the despicable title of freshies, but over-bearing upper-classmen made mani- fest thbir contempt by casting sneering glances at them! Other perils loomed on the horizon, such as Algebra, Physiology, Language, etc. And Language? We recited it in class, we studied it at home, we ate it at our meals, we dreamed it when we slept. Voce, Vocas, Vocatg yo tengo, usted tiene, si tengo: katalti, katalta, I scream, you scream, we al scream. O Death! Where is thy sting? But not all was misery in that uneventful year. We gloated over the fact that soon w e would be upper-classmen. Then w e would sneer at the freshies. We'd be able to ditch with the ease of upper-classmen. We'd be big shots. We-oh! we'd be everything! And with these hopes and anticipations closes Chapter I of the adventures of the greatest class vm ever was. As suffer-mores there was more suffering in store for us. At first intimidated by the prospect of Geometry, Botany, and Civics, we resolved that we'd wade in, by gun, and tackle 'e1nl We looked at the new freshies with as much contempt as we could muster. But to our disappoint- ment we found it meant nothing to anybody but ourselves. The year ,L THE MEDILLITE 49 J 1 passed by rapidly, very rapidly indeed. Before we knew it our boys had adorned longies, while as for our weaker sex-'nuff said. They found it necessary to come to school with a sample supply of cosmetics and what not. We made our debut in athletics, socials, and club affairs, and enjoyed it very much. Our hectic suffer-more days came to an end. Stanza three of our classlhistory commences to begin. Our lads and lassies at this stage of the history were ready to become big shots. We took a crack at sports with extraordinary success: there was not a team which did not have a Iunior on it., The socials were always treated to the rare honor of having some benign Iunior appear. For honor roll sharks, you had only to men- tion the word, Iunior. It meant intelligence itself. S Seniors! Seniors! Seniors! Seniors! Seniors! Ahem! How' dig- nified and sophisticated we are! We basked in the lime-light of the school as the mighty seniors. Athletics or social activities,the seniors were right there on the spot. The first semester was uneventful. But the second semester? Oh my, no! Class officers were elected, and soon the air was filled with pins, pictures, banquet, and prom. After months of intense ex- citement the great event came-Commencement Night. Garbed in cap and gown, we strode on the stage to receive the long coveted diplomas. Good-bye, Medill. We sure will miss you, and hope you'll miss us too. Good-bye. t ' PAUL GORIN CELIA KUSHNER -55- 50 THE MEDILLITE CLASS WILL S E, THE IUNE CLASS of 1928, of the Medill High School, being about to pass out of this sphere of learning in full posssession of a crammed mind, a well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby malsing void all former wills and promises by us at any time heretofore ma e. First: To the School we bequeath all banners, trophies, laurels, and honors which we have won, to which each year shall be added others until we have a collection to be proud of. . Second: To our beloved faculty. We hereby thank them for their earnest efforts in trying to accomplish that imposssible task of growing gray matter in barren and destitute regions, where the conditions are very much against them, and may they keep up their work, for some day it shall not be in vain. I Third: As an acknowledgement of the debt we owe the faculty of the Medill High School, we submit the records of the high degree of general knowledge attained by us. If the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of their information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of bits of wisdom and enlightenment for the education of the classes to come after us. In payment of the aforesaid we leave our successful fu- ture to be -pointed out to prospective students as an example of what an education at Medill can accomplish. Fourth: To Mr. Davidson, our esteemed principal, we leave the management of the school, and sincere thanks and appreciation for the help he has given us, also a host of dutiful and industrious students, such as the Iune Class is composed of. Fifth: To Miss Mason and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, our graduating teachers, we leave the future graduating classes, and we wish to thank them for their untiring work in our behalf. 1 Sixth: To Miss Adams, our Dean, the care of the social room and the management of social affairs at Medill. May there be many and success- ful ones. ' Seventh: To Mr. Center, the care of turning out future championship teams in every line of athletics. Eight: To Miss Robertson we leave the Orchestras that are to come, and may they be successful in their work: also the future operettas and plays, which we hope will be as good as they have been in the past. Ninth: To the beginning Senior Class we bequeath our dignity, to- gether with the various activities of the school, such as the Medillite, C. I. L., Student Council, and all the various organizations. Tenth: To the Iunior Class as a whole we leave the various positions on the athletic field ond debating teams, and a share in the school affairs. Eleventh: To the Sophomore Class we bequeath the care of the Fresh- men. - Twelfth: To the Freshmen we leave our best wishes and hope that they will derive full benefit from the rare ability of our faculty. . i We do hereby constitute Mr. Davidson and the Faculty of the Medill High School as the Executors of this our Last Will and Testament. u In testimony thereof we, the Iune Classes of 1928, have to this our will set our hands and seal this twenty-first day of Iune, Anno Domini One-thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight. ' Class Attorney LEONARD ZIFF. THE MEDILLITE 51 Class Prophecy of Jun. 19 28 YLVIA and I were riding over Chicago in our family plane and I was enjoying the view. Sylvia, who was reading Gorin's News, sudden- ly turned to me and exclaimed, Let us go to a theater! I Which one? l asked. ' The Metropolitan. The bill today is a movie of news events which have been photographed by Iulia Schneider, entitled, The remarkable things I have seen in this world. I agreed, and that afternoon found us within that wonderful theater, the Metropolitan, owned by Ben Solomon and operated by Ioseph Shufeldt. The vaudeville show, featuring Ben Fine and his Iazz Kings, was then in progress. We recognized two of the Kings at once. Louis Zussrnan was identified by his sparkling hair and Meyer Oberman by his portly frame. A young woman came on the stage and sang several selections from Car- men. We soon discovered that she was Thelma Rubin but could not understand why she sang so mournfully. Seeing her after the show,,we found out that Phil had a toothache. , Celia Kushner then danced upon the stage and sang several blue songs, composed by that composer of blue songs, Zigmore Harris. C'elia's singing gave us the blues, and we had almost decided to leave when finally the movie we came to see was presented. After the usual introduction, the first scene was flashed on the screen with the title, Mayor Cohen greets new city treasurer. The City hall of Chicago was seen and at the doors of the magnificent building stood the honorable Mayor Isaac Cohen. Coming with outstretched hands to- ward him was the treasurer. The outstretched hands identified the trea- surer. He was Leon Zimmerman, the man with itching palms. Y This scene faded out and next came the title, University of Chicago confers degrees on great lawyers. We then saw the auditorium of the University, where David Ginsburg, president, was passing out degrees to several famous lawyers. Harry Posey, Sam Rabinovitz, and Louis Neiman we distinguished among these. They accepted their degrees and faded away. The next line flashed upon the screen was, Medill Girls form Bus- iness College. Evelyn Fine and Ida Portnoy were receiving the congra- tulations of Ierome Pauker, who had rapidly risen in the business world, and of Ben Rotstein, who had risen high as a salesman of Shamburg's Coffee, the coffee that grows warm by heating. The teachers in the business college were seen to be all women. They were Rose Michaels, the bookkeeping teacher, Iulia Garrett, the shorthand teacher, Rose Steck, the filing teacher, and Doris Gold, who also was teaching shorthand. This scene faded away and next .came the title, United States champion defeats Roumanian champion, and we saw Milton Kohn play- ing checkers with Carlo Palumbo. - After this thriller we saw the laying of the corner-stone of the New 52 THE MEDILLITE Belmont Hotel. Here were seen' Irving Berg, the new owner, and Isadore Kanter, the prominent politician, who was laying the corner-stone with the help of his brother politician, Louis Batler. The New York Yankees were next shown in practice. George Gar- rett, the player who had driven Babe Ruth to the benches, was seen scam- pering around in right field. Iohn Genovese was playing second base. and Al Berkovitz, who had dropped so many pop flies in his high school days, was playing first base. Leonard Ziff was catching the pitching of several rookie pitchers. As this scene was passing we saw Lennie run back to get the ball which had as usual escaped him. The sports continuing, the Chicago Bruins were shown practicing. David Togoda was taking a shot at the basket, but Leonard Levinsky interrupted the ball and threw the ball to the other side of the floor to Sam Garbow, who relayed it to Max Levin, and Max shot and put it in the basket. it We then had the pleasure of seeing how Gorin's News was made. In the editor's chair, as we expected, we found Paul Gorin. Florence Astrachan was feature editor and Belle Schick, her friend, was society editor. Belle's assistant was Florence Sterling. lack Glassman was the cart- oonist for the newspaper, and Irving Berger was still getting ads, for he was business manager of the Tribune, And a mystery was explained. Sylvia had been trying to find out who wrote the answers to the love queries. As the film unrolled we found out that this brilliant writer was none other than Marvin Wulif. The opening of a new chain of drug stores was then shown. lack Fried- man and Ben, Wernick had formed a partnership and gone into business. They had chosen Abe Goodman for their business manager. The members of the famous cast of the famous play entitled, Bad News, were visiting a hospital, and their visit had been photographed. 'Ilhe cast, consisting of Max Barack, Olga Zeiger, his leading lady, Faye Byer, and-Harold Retsky, were met by Ioseph Groenboom, the superinten- dent of the hospital. After this as they were taken through the wards where they and we saw Tony Episcope, who, as the film explained, had sprained his ankle while playing with the Chicago Cubs and was recovering in this hospital. Minnie Silverman, his nurse, was preparing her report for Tony's doctor, Harry Iacobs. The actors were then introduced to the nurses, who were Leona Campion, Gertrude Bloome, and Iosephine Ferrito. The doctors were introduced, and the honorable Max Barack greeted some of his former schoolmates. They were Raymond Reeves, famous eye spe- cialist, Iacob Blumenau, skin specialist, and Leonard April, a specialist on the heart of women. And then we saw a wrestling match between Iacob Ordman, the world Champ, and Rosario Montalbano, the challenger. Ioe Cecchini was be- ing taxed to the utmost to referee this fast match. Ioseph Gerbosi, Rosario's second, was ellin f R ' A y g or osario to get on the top, but Monty prefered to remain in his .r6Clining position. THE MEDILLITE 53 Then came the grand recital of -the Kestin Conservatory of Music. Only the members of the faculty were participating. Helen rendered a solo, Marilyn Kesselman played a selection on the piano. She was follow- ed by Felix Bongiorno, who played ten different instruments, all well. Mae Bernstein concluded the recital with another piano solo. The Pesetsky brothers, Bernard and David, had become big butter and egg men. Their tsecretaries were Susie Brodkin and Fannie Myer- ovitz. lack Niedelson was another big butter and egg man. Bernard, David, and Iack were planning to form a concern to get control of all the butter and eggs. And the last and best thing in the movie was the formal opening of the new Medill High School. Fred Begun, principal of Medill, made a brilliant speech in which he said he would expel every student who went td the opening game of the Chicago Cubs. Those that go tothe Sox game-well that is a different matter. Fred is a Sox fan. Ida Funk, assist- ant principal, also made a speech, and immediately after the speech began to pass out ditching slips. Then came the teachers. Bernice Rauch was teaching one of the shorthand classes, Bessie Bala- ban was teaching the other class. Harold Levin taught the geology classes. Miriam Charack had taken the place of Mrs. Iex, and was now at the head of the bookkeeping department. Sol Rosenthal was in charge of the chem- istry department. Louis Stolfa and Nicholas Bruno were the coaches of the Medill teams. Art Schimmel was a professor of Civics. and Sam Sham- ban had become his assistant. Dinah Smoller was the office secretary. Irene Mategano and Milton Kochin were at the head of the history depart- ment. Milton had written a book called, How to be brilliant without try- ing. Milton had plenty of experience. , With this the movie ended. We were surprised and sorry to see it concluded as we had enjoyed the interesting scenes very much. As we walked out we met Celia Kushner. How did you like them? asked Celia. What? we in return asked. My songs? she said. Great, we replied leaving her.

' One warm clay in September, 1926, a body of boys and girls boarded the good ship Medill. We were fearful and curious, expecting to conquer, as did Alexander the Great. Our captain, Mr .Hall, discussed the voyage with us and tried to persuade us to take a trip for four years instead of two, saying that we would be able to view the scenes more fully and could go farther. Having decided the length of our trip, we were shown to our cabins by his assistants, who were to help us get settled and show us how to get the most out of the trip. , A regular social event was to be given every Friday, wherein all the voyagers would participate, which was to be called C. I. L. At. the end of a period of five weeks those who had proved good seamen were to be awarded a medal of honor. Thus live months of joy intermixed with dis- couragement rolled by. Our difficulties were met, and by perseverance we overcvame them. After one year of sailing, the ship became unseaworthy, so we entered into a larger vessel called Sophomore Life. During this time the captain fell ill and before a month had passed was laid in the sea which had been his companion for so long a time. We missed him, we mourned for him, but we had to carry on. About this time a few of the passengers be- came discouraged and discontinued the trip. The rest of us kept on. The trip was coming to a close and the passengers were becoming im- patient to leave the boat. Some were tearful, others happy, all were think- ing of the friendships to be broken which had grown up in such a short time. So ended our two years of sailing, in which we tried to shape our future lives. s ' We came, we saw, we conquered. SARA SANDLER JAMES BRoM Prophecy of J une '28 , ELL, here we are in this great little city, Chicago. We have just been marritd,-we six, Sara Steinberg, Hazel Bloomfield, Fred Bauman, and the three great unknowns. The ceremony was presided over by none other than the Honorable Iudge Ioseph Iezel, who has rapidly approached the climax of his career by ascending to the bench of the Supreme Court. A - We went to the far-famed printing concern of Zabren, Cygan6?Co. forour announcements. We patronized their establishment because when we were in Medill we had heard them talking to each other about how good the other was and what star printers they Were. We thought that in going to -them .we might be able to help them out with a little business, and, to tell the truth, we expected to Hnd them in some little run-down shop: but THE MEDILLITE when we arrived at our destination, we were amazed to Hnd that these young men were so good in the printing game that they had erected a large building and were doing a rushing business in it. When our school-day friendship was renewed with these two pros- perous business men, we expressed our desire to go over their plant. Upon hearing this, Mr. Zabren said that we should be treated to many surprises. As we emerged from his inner oiiice, Mr. Cygan showed us pretty little Iean Greenblatt sternly presiding over a group of lightning-fingered typists, -of whom the fastest and probably the prettiest was Tillie Krotish. Not content with treating us to this pleasant surprise, he took us up to the accounting department and showed us-can you imagine whom? Vsfell, none other than our own President, Hyman Nusinoff. Here he was en- throned amid his books and papers, as a Certified Public Accountant, and was at the same time acting as king pin over many of his classmates, including his chief assistant, Bessie Krnoul. After showing us the work- ings of the presses, and the rest of the system used in their establishment, Raymond advised us to see a very famous draftsman who made a sideline of planning such announcements as we wanted. This man turned out to be none other than Ioseph Proskowitz, the former star draftsman at Medill. After we had seen to the announcements, it was too late to do anything else. We decided, then, to go to the Coliseum. We were much surprised to see that Bennie Zelig was a contender for the heavyweight championship. Needless to say, we could hardly wait to see this bout commence, and when it did there was no doubt as to who was to be the pexthtitle holder: there couldn't be with such loyal rooters as we pulling or im. ' That night, it was decided that for our honeymoon we should go on an extended tour of Europe. Accordingly, the next day' we took the Twentieth Century Limited and a few days later found ourselves in New York. .We made our way to the general offices of the White Sar Line and inquired when it would be possible to secure accommodations for three couples to sail to Europe. . - In inquiring for this information, we came upon Miriam Silver, who was general passenger agent for this line. Miriam told us that we could sail almost immediately, as three great business women had cancelled their trip to Europe because of the urgent needs of their firms. These wome' it chanced, were Florence Steinman, Anna Stramiello, and Rose Gale, who were buyers of imported laces, silk, and tapestries. We boarded our ship and were soon off for Europe. In sailing we had thought that we were severing, for the time being, all of our connec tions with the United States: but no, there was one slender thread that still bound us, and that slender thread turned out to be Fannie Harris, who was just then enjoying a vacation from the Opera in which she was acting as leading lady. Her voice was compared to Rosa Raisa's and her acting to Mary Garden's. When we arrived in Paris, we immediately hired a guide to show us about the city. The first place to which he took us was one of the largest universities of 'France where one of the American students of ,French es- pecially attracted our attention because we were sure that in her we recog- nized one of our old classmates: and sure enough, it turned out to be none other than Margaret Engelking. Margaret told us that she was about to fill the position of interpreter to the American Consul in France and that The vifianted to know the French language from A to Z, figuratively and itera y.' THE MEDILLITE 63 As we were leaving Paris we noticed a large pile of American-looking luggage in the day coach. We were wondering what such a pile of lug- gage should be doing on the train, and going over to find out, we found sitting complacently behind it all both Sylvia Deitch and Rom- ona Dama. When we inquired as to the where and wherefore of all this luggage, we found out that these classmates were hurrying back to Washington as Sylvia had a seat in Congress and had to be there in time to make her opening address: Romona was her campaign manager. Now I ask you, what is this world coming to when women are elected to Congress! What are the men going to do? Because take it from a married man, when a woman has the upper hand she usually has it. We were just realizing this because we were talking to Lena Klimboff, who is in Paris outfitting herself, and at the same time getting some ideas and plans for her current stage production in the United Artists, and some- how or other Lena got the idea into our heads that the girls needed new clothes: and when girls make up their minds, it is usually unanimous whether you like it or not. Well, after a very little arguing and much buying we departed for Switzerland. I might add here that there was little arguing about buying a nw outfit, not because I did not want to argue, but because I couldn't. We Went to Switzerland and the beautiful lake, St. Moritz. Whom did we meet here but Concetta Procopio, who had left her designing establish- ment in Paris in the care of the modistes, to take a little time off for skiing and skating. Concetta, besides having a rather fancy figure herself, cuts a still fancier figure on the ice, as anyone who was in our party will testify. After spending many pleasant days with Concetta we departed for Venice, the land of beautiful canals and gondolas. Gliding down the' main canal, one night, we noticed another gondola that was acting very queerly: in fact, so queerly that we decided to see, as we slangily put it, what was being pulled off here. The gondola in question was rocking, and rocking so hard that I was expecting its occupants to be precipitated into the briny deep. As we drew along side, whom should we see in this 'gondola of many motions but the two Ordman sisters, Bertha and Anna, and Sadie Goldberg, who, were celebrating their meeting here in this far-off place. The Ordman sisters were introducing to the continent anew shorthand system, and Sadie was there on pleasure bent, spending her legacy. On our way to Austria, we noted many posters in the trains, but be- cause we did not know how to read them, we were not much interested until a native read them to us. He said that these posters were announc- ing the appearance of the famous American artist, Miss Mildred Smith. When we heard this, we could hardly wait until the train delivered us to our destination. At last we saw Mildred. We overheard the remark that if any artist could paint a picture of her the way she really is, it would make him famous: but in this day and age, we are sorry to say, they do not produce artists good enough. To one of the strange tricks of fate can be attributed the presence in Venice at this time of Ida Goldberg. Ida was by far the most well-dressed woman in Venice and was up to her old tricks again, such as going to parties, and dances: and at the time of writing she had her eye on a rather handsome and well-dressed young chap. On our way to Trieste, whom should we come upon but Sylvia Robbins and Anna Kaplan, who, coming into a large estate, had also decided on a trip around the world. Roslyn Gorin was traveling with them, but her 64 THE MEDILLITE purpose was a very different one from that of her two traveling compan- ions. She was traveling for a manufacturing concern way back in Chicago, and it was up to her to copy some of the European systems of manufactur- ing, and bring them back to Chicago where they are to be used to better manufacturing conditions there. We arrived at Trieste and went to a very popular tea room called Golden Garden. This little tea room seemed so Americanized that we inquired as to the proprietors and found out that they were Cema Mahlin and Anna Mappa. When asked where they had gotten the idea for this tea room and what made it look so familiar, they told us that they had done their best to model it after our own Medill Lunch Room. Also from Cema and Anna we learned that Yetta Koralchick was the principal of a large school in Russia, where she made a specialty of teaching the language of the ancient Hebrews. Now it was decided that we should start on the homeward trail. There were two reasons for doing this: One was that we were getting lonesome for our own United States of America and the other was, oh well, to tell the truth it was because our bank roll had seriously depreciated in thickness. It was decided that we should go back by way of Yokahama. Well, we got to Yokahama all right but there we were, stranded, penniless in a foreign country. Disconsolately we went to the American settlement in the hopes that we should find the American Consul there. When we reachd the settlement, whom should we see but Bessie Wagner and Pearl Sibulsky, partners in a candy kitchen. Bessie told us that Car- men De Vito was the American Counsul and that she was sure he would help us out. On our way to the American legation,--you will remember that we didn't have a cent and that we had to walk,-whom should we meet but Margaret Curtin! Margaret was an actress and was now in Yokahama on location in one of the most important pictures of the century, and was engaged to the director, who had a beautiful home back in Los Angeles. From Margaret, we learned that Sarah Sandler and Anna Klinsky were rapidly climbing the ladder of success in the theatrical world, and were then engaged at the Oriental as prominent dancers. We received some money through the American Consul, and as soon as we got it, we decided to retrace our steps and go home by way of France. We boarded the train and when the conductor came along to col- lect our tickets, who 'should he be but Peter Saviano! Saviano made his home in Yokahama, where he was happily married and where he hoped to become the President of the Aviation Line of the Pacific. With us on the same train was Elsie Getlin, who was trying at the time to contract some business between a Chinese firm and her own New York firm. Ida Pentansky was Elsie's able assistant in her commission. Enroute to Paris we got off at a way-station on the outskirts of the ecity. We were rather excited over the idea of going home, and as a result did not watch where we were walking and tripped over a pair of field glasses, cracking one of the lenses. Looking around for the owner to make reparation, we found to our amazement that they belonged to Esther Bernstein, who had just returned from the races. Esther, of course, refused to take anything for her ruined field glasses. When we arrived back in Paris, we noticed that there was a strong undercurrent of excitement wherever we went. The cause we learned later: Pauline Levine had just made an important discovery of world-wide im- portance in the field of surgery. - fContinued on page 1231 1 523135225 2 4. 2 SE 44 Q QA' 3 Q Q Q 3 3 Q Q QA' 3 Q QA' Q QA' Q QA' 3 3 Q QA' Q GPA' Q QA' Q QR 'IQ GE 'PU Q Q Q JQ - ?gS?f?2S?f?2gr Z A EQ Gi NIM f-1 - 36.29.25 N MN an 33S?f22Sii-93 H w K .y.

For the first time the Big Brothers were subordinated as a committee under the Council, and took the place of the Moral Committee of the school. The C. I' L. work was put in charge of three teachers, who were responsible for inter- esting programs every Friday. For the first time the council appointed a committee to help in getting subscriptions for the Medillite. The following semester the work of the council was continued, follow- ing practically the same plan as the semester before. Besides taking care of the Big Brothers, C. I. L., soap and towels, Medillite, noon socials, etc., the Student Council took an active part in the city-wide Clean-Up Cam- paign. The oiiicers for the first semester Were: Isaac Cohen, Pres.: David Ginsburg, Vice-Pres.gLillian Lippman, Sec.: and Florence Astrachan, Treas. For the second term the following oliicers were chosen: Charles Levin, Pres.: Norman Bernstein, Vice-Pres.: Olga Zeiger, Sec,: and Herman Nus- inoff, Treasurer. TI-IE MEDILLITE .M SOROSIS This year has been one of the most successful of the: Sorosis existence. Among the club's achievements were a pig-tail day, ,milk fund dance, Hal- loween Party, Gotillion, posting of pictures in the halls, clean-up work, semester party, and banquet. The oflicersof the Sorosis from September to February were: Sara Levy, Pres.: Faye Byer, Vice-Pres.: Ida Funk, Rec. Sec.: lean Korzen, Treas.: Sylvia Feldman, Fin. Sec.: and Anna Stock and Minnie Bloom, Sergeants-at-arms. During the semester from February to Iune the club was piloted by: Sylvia Feldman, Pres.: Faye Byer, Vice-Pres.: Ida Funk, Rec. Sec.: Lauretta locco, Treas.: Minnie Bloom, Fin. Sec.: and Bernice Rauch and Gertrude Bloom, Sergcants-at-arms. 1 . 68 THE MEDILLITE -5 4- BIG SISTERS This semester the Big Sisters combined with the Sorosis and worked togetheriwith them as one unit. Miss Adams appointed Bernice fBobbyJ Rauch as chairman of this organization, and under her able leadership many successful projects were accomplished. Their two most important events of the semester were the Get-acquainted party and the Freshman Frolic. At the former the Big Sisters met their Little Sisters, and a good time was enjoyed by all, especially when the signing of the little Autograph Books took place. At the latter, the play, A Modern Cinderella was given under the direction of Bobby Rauch. The Little Sisters enjoyed this immensly for the reason that it was something out of the ordinary, the parts all being taken by girls. N5 THE MEDILLITE 69 BIG BROTHERS , At the beginning of the first semester the Big Brothers organization was subordinated to the Student Council. A chairman, appointed by the Council, was to take the place of the President, and there were to be no ,other oflicers. The members were to be chosen with care and the great reputation of the school remained the same. Some of the measures toward meeting this end were the prevention of smoking and gambling on or near the premises of the school, and the investigation of cases of tardiness and absence. .. The chairman of the Hrst semester was Delphine Kolin. During the second semester the Big Brothers were headed by David Ginsburg. Miss Adamsgwho is sponsoring the Council, has Leen giving special care to this organization. 70 THE MEDILLITE -'P , w CHESTERFIELDIANS The ofHcers of the Chesterfieldians from September to February were: Ben Kaplan, Pres.: Sidney Waller, Vice-Pres.: Louis Gillis, Rec.

THE MEDILLITE 71 DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized in '27 by Max Barack, and has been doing very good work since that time. It was always ready to enter- !ain in C. I. L., and also gaveaseveral onefact, plays for the benefit of the Athletic Fund. Miss Brennan was sponsor of this organization during the lemester which began September, while Miss Herman was sponsor during the last semester. Max Barack was the director in many of the plays pre- lented by the club. Among the plays presented by the club were: The Pot Boiler, Fac- ing Death, The Hard Struggle, The Cape Mail, The Violin Maker of Cremonaf' The Monkey's Paw, and The Falcon. 72 THE QMEDILLITE , THE MEDILL ORCHESTRA. Under the leadership of Miss Harriet L, Robertson, the Medill orches- tra has been doing wonderful work. With the departure of Mr. Cramer a semester ago, the orchestra remained as the only musical organization in the school. Many C. I. L. performances were contributed by the orches- tra and its members, besides playing at the commencement exercises of the four year, two year, and Medill Evening School graduates. TWO YEAR GRADS On Thursday, April 26, the ofiicers for the Iune class were chosen with the following results: Hymen Nusinoif, Pres.: Florence Steinman, Vice- Pres.: Hazel Bloomfield, Sec., and Marguerite Engelking, Treas. The class, which is quite a large one, held its Commencement Exer- cises on Wednesday evening, Iune 20. Many of its members will im-g mediately go out into the business world, while others contemplate return- ing to Medill or some other business college to continue their education. THE MEDILLITE 73 I MEDILL FIRE MARSHALLS To think that the Medillites are in no more danger of fires! But this is exactly what the Fire Marshalls have made possible. Organizedand sponsored by Mr. Cermak the first semester and by Mr. Center the second, they formulated rules by means of which they would get the whole school out of the building Ain the least possible number of minutes. Iunior Chief Fire Marshall for the first semester was Allen Schultz, while his assistant was Isaac Cohen. The second semester Cohen led the Fire Marshalls, his assistant being Irwin Horvitz. The Fire Marshalls have conducted meet- ings before school at which time they were drilled as to their positions. U 74 THE MEDILLITE HALL GUARDS It was by these two groups of students that the halls of Medill were so well guarded during the school year of 1927-28. Captained by Allen Schultz the first semester and indirectly sponsored by Miss Kavana, they succeeded in preventing disorder and in furthering the cause of cleanliness in the corridors of the school. The inauguration of the system that barred all students from passing through the halls without aipermit from some teacher was of great aid to them. During the second semester no captain was appointed. THE MEDILLITE 75 .5 , 4. OFFICE PAGES The office pages proved of invaluable aid to the school. They went on errands, brought supplies to the Teachers, carried around notices to-various rooms, and performed many other tasks. Their work this year has been worthy of praise. . . q 76 THE MEDILLITE -, 4 E HEBREW CLUB The Hebrew Club has already made it an established precedent to stage a play of a Hebrew character in the Hebrew langauge before a Heb- rew audience the first semester of the school year and issue a Hebrew- English magazine the second. And it has not fallen back in its work this year. Sponsored by Mrs. Elanore Castle and headed by David Ginsburg, Pres.: Sol Froaman, Vice-Pres.: Florence Astrachan, Sec.: Paul Gorin, Treas.g and Max Sanderovitch, Sgt.-at-arms, the Hebrewites successfully presented Hannah and her Seven Sons at the end of Ianuary. It was capably managed and directed by Helen Swirsky.

Founded by Dr. R, White with the pur ose of discussing and debating the various political and social questions of the day, the club was forced to disorganize because of Dr White's unfort . un- ate accident. Miss F.

Auditor S. Patt-Bookkeeper N. Rothner-Printer ' M. L. lex-Treasurer The past semester has been one of the best and most successful the bank has ever had. The amount of business has seldom been so large. The deposits alone totaled S3,000.00, while the highest balance of the semester was S2,000.00. This result was achieved through advertising planned by the president. Letters were issued twice to the students, and slogans were posted in the rooms City-wide attention was called to the bank when newspaper hearing of it, gave it several write-ups. Accounts of the bank's doings appeared in the Chicago Daily Iournal, Herald and Examiner, Sunday Tribune, and the Chicago Evening American. Much credit is due the officers of the Medill Savings Bank for making it a success. It was through their efforts and the co-operation of the stu- dents that the bank has succeeded in its efforts. , The 'Medill Saving Bank has not in mind to break records or to see how much money it can get in one semester. The main purpose is to in- still in the students of Medill the invaluable habit of thrift. One who -is thrifty is independent, self respecting, and protected, has access to bigger and better things in life, and is headed towards success. Thrift, therefore, is the main purpose and aim of the MEDILI., SAVINGS BANK, 88 THE MEDILLITE '+ ...g.. x SEWING CLASSES Under the capable supervision of Mrs. Grace L. Ackley, the sewing classes were re-organized at Medill this semester. Girls, experienced and inexperienced in the art of sewing, toiled daily with thread and needle, and made an assortment of garments not only for themselves but also for the poor and needy. Thus Medill High has become better known for its charitable spirit through its sewing classes. THE MEDILLITE 89 MEDILL GEOGRAPHIC CLUB The Medill Geographic Club was very active during the first semester, for it g-ave a play in C. I. L. and held several parties. It was headed by Lillian Lipman, Pres.: Alex Berkowitz, Vice-Pres.: Ida Funk, Sec.: Dorothy Cutler, Treas.: Mrs. B. Wilson, Sgt.-at-arms. The club was forced to disband the second semester after its organ- ization, due to the new rule forbidding clubs during class periods. Its officers were Zigmore Harris, Pres.: Hymen Nussinoff, Vice-Pres.: Pearl Sibulsky, Sec.3 and Fannie Fried, Treasurer. C. 4. 90 THE MEDILLITE ROOM COLLECTORS AND REPORTERS To the room collectors was left the task of collecting money for the Medillites and distributing them. The interesting news of the various session rooms was furnished by the room reporters. These room reporters not only helped to familiarize the students with each other, but also to stimulate the interest of the stu- dents in their school. It was due largely to the work of these two combined that the large Medillite sales were due. Q THE MEDILLITE 91 4 PRESS CLUB The Press Club was again organized this semester after a semester of inactivity. The club sponsored a dance, the proceeds of which went to the Medillite Bi-weekly. The members also took a trip to the Tribune Plant on May 22, 1928. Much credit is due to Mr. Thoren, its able sponsor. The oflicers were Paul Gorin, Presiclentg Sigmund Diamond, Vice-President: Olga Zeiger, Secretary: Ioseph Schufeldt, Treasurer: Irwin R.

This was accomplished through the efforts of these groups of students, who made it their business to raise the cry for Annual subscriptions daily in their respective sessions. ant-Hll-EIFIIIS. 92 THE MEDILLITE 'r MEDILLITE STAFF The Medillite this year has been forced to face a hectic struggle to keep in existence. Despite the adverse conditions in the school, the paper has been able to survive, and the remaining staff members look forward to the comig semester with hope and anticipation. p The staff from September to February was led by Abe Pollack, while the Medillite was edited the second semester by Paul Gorin. . Herman D. Friedman supervised the business department, and Irving Berger took care of the advertising. Mr. Carl D.

ANNUAL BUSINESS STAFF Handicapped by the comparatively small number of students at the school, the business staff has worked very hard during the past year to make the Annual a financial success.

Composed of our last year's veterans built around Capt. Klein, the team hit asteady pace and kept it. The boys played and played well. Starting the season, we tied Harrison and then defeated Austin, Mc- Kinley, and Crane in rapid succession before we went down in defeat to Marshall and Harrison. But not discouraged, our boys came back to defeat Austin, McKinley, Crane, and Marshall in succession to enter the semi-finals. For the first time in four years a Medill team had entered the semi-finals and for the first time in eight years a Medill team had dragged the colors of Crane in the dust. Although we lost Captain Kleine through mid-year graduation, his place was taken by Captain Norman Bernstein who filled it very creditably. Captain Bernard Klein, Bernie, was the fastest man in the league. The slogan of the other teams usually was, watch the red head. He graduated in mid-year. Captain Norman Bernstein, Normy, was the whiz of Medill. He was an almost unanimous choice for an all-city berth. He was the trick- iest man in the city. Is back next year. Irwin Horvitz, Izzy, could be depended on for points when they were needed most. High point man and unanimous choice for West Section Forward ,was Louis Lebedinsky. Louie was Izzy's side kick, and the pairymadeta.combination that was hard to stop. Lou had a dead eye and a .pair of twinkling feet.

A few practice games were held which enabled coach Center to become more acquainted with his material. Following this the team made an inauspicious start of the season, tying Lane by the score of 1-1. Lake View, an aggressive opponent, then defeated Medill, 1-0, after which we tied Crane, an ancient rival, by the score of 0-O. The Maroon and White aggregation then opened up with a bang. With a spurt that could not be checked, we defeated Schurz, 3-0. Be- ginning our second round, we met Lane 'again-and this time emerged victorious, 1-0. Lake View, now the league leader, was our next oppon- ent. Fighting as they had never before, the Medill booters beat their way to victory, and when the final whistle blew, led their somewhat heavier antagonists by the score of 2-1. This put us but one point behind first place, and so strong were our hopes for a championship that for the first time in years a pep meeting was held to spur on a Medill team. But all ourhopes were in vain: for in our next game, played against Crane, which was deemed a weak team, our boys were overconfident, and as a result ended the game in a dead-lock, 0-0. Disheartened, the Medill aggregation dropped its last, game, 1-0, to Schurz.

Graduated in February. Rotstein and Schrote, though an in-experienced pair of full-backs, disposed of their positions very capably. Neither will be back next year. ln Capt. Pozen, Deitsch, and Fierstein, Medill had a trio of :half-backs rivalled by few in the city. Capt. Pozen, especially, was the mainstay of the team, and both he and Deitsch were given positions on many all-city teams. Fierstein is the only half-back remaining for next year. Sandler, Ziff, Roskin, Stutland, and Serlin formed a brilliant forward line. Serlin occasionally was supplanted by Burg Frauman at left end. Roskin. Sandler, and Frauman will be back lighting for Medill next year. Waller Rabinovitz substituted in various positions and helped do their bit. However, they are leaving Medill this year. Protus, a really line goal-man was unable to play in league games because Mazur was ably filling this position. . ' - Ben Mazur ....... ........... G i Ben Rotstein ............. .......

P The second semester, owing to the departure of Mr. Cermak, the class was disbanded. 1,02 THE MEDILLITE ' ' N BASEBALL' TEAM Playing in hard luck, but pulling up near the encl of the season, the baseball team finished their season and won a ball game for the first time in fourfyears. Built around Captain Garret and Lester Wilens the team at first was weak but, with the addition of Kretske ,behind the bat and Horwitz at second, the teanrwas greatly strengthened. P To top off the season the team lost to Crane, Marshall, and Tuley before they hit their stride to beat Austin 12-9 and Tuley 4-3.

After closing his career at Englewood, Mr. Davidson made his appear- ance at Medill. Though arriving here late in the semester, Mr. Davidson took charge of affairs with vim and vigor that showed his interest in his new position. He introduced a plan of sending speakers from Medill to grammar schools, added a list of new subjects in Medill for next semester, made additions to the faculty, and planned many other school improvements. ' On the whole, there is every reason to expect that, under the capable leadership of Mr. Davidson, Medill High will again win back her former reputation as one of the best schools in the city. .Ll.+.1.. Joseph Cermalc Bids Medill Farewell Ioseph C. Cermak, beloved gym instructor at Medill High School for thirty-three years departed from Medill during the Iune semester. He had reached the age af seventy and thus became eligible for a pension. His leaving was mourned by students and teachers alike. ln honor of Mr. Cermak, a luncheon was heldat the Stevens Hotel on Saturday March IZ. About four hundred alumni, teachers, students, friends, public oilicials and newspaper-men were present. A reward of merit from the Board of Education and a beautiful traveling set, the gift of the students, were presented to Mr. Cermak.

NCUS SERVIUS was making in the best manner he could his way thru the congested Forum in Rome. A dark cloud overcast his 'A clean-cut features. His worried countenance portrayed anxiety, while his thoughts were wandering from the past, to the present, and then tothe future. One big question loomed in his horizon, Would he suc- ceed? Deep in his heart awakened, with renewed vigor, the everburning flame of righteousness and noble sentiment. Of course: he must! What mattered it that his life was at stake? NOTHING. He was lighting for freedom: he was battling for the liberty of those who atthat moment sur- rounded him: he was aiding the common people against the blood-thirsty tyrant, Nero. A delicate little hand slipped into his, which sent a thrilling tremor through his whole frame. The hand of Ancus tightened about--but alas! -it was only a piece of parchment upon which was hastily scribbled, hen the lion is being fed, keep out of the way. A strange sentence it as and a still stranger warning. The person to whom the little hand beldnged might be able to explain quite adequately, but that generous being lost himself in the press. A singular feeling was experienced by Ancus Servius when he realized that certain individuals were at the peril of their lives troubling themselves for his sake. After pondering a little, he under- stood. Nero, the heartless beastghad recently tasted the blood of Britan-' nicus,and Agrippina: would Ancus, the idol of the masses, be his next victim? No person could be safe with an animal that once tasted human fleshp But, to abandon the enterprise was quite out of question, for he was bound for the Senate Chamber to attain the climax of the conspiracy, andieifther golden triumph or dreary defeat. Although the Senate session was already well on its way, yet the arrival of -the brilliant young statesman was announced by many friendly greetings as well as treacherous smiles. However, he was fully aware that some of the most eloquent orators demonstrated the power of their silver tongues when they brought back to the tyrant the results of their spying. For their final convincing argument, the opposition turned to their beloved colleague, Ancus Servius, who sat quietly alone contemplating thoughtfully. The statements he presented were hailed with acclamations. Servius was making his clinching remark. Pausing he looked around, gazing earnestly at those who surrounded him, wondering how many of them he could truely call friends. Then, with a sudden strengthening ofthe flow of eloquence, he attacked most vigorously the emperor, who in his folly brought the Senate into a great diiliculty. . . . Must we forsake our liberty, our freedom, which was won for a price so dearly paid? Must we, the ci-tizens of Rome bow submissively to that tyrannicafmonster, and let alone that which was hallowed by our fathers' blood, consecrated by our mothers' tears, and dedicated to im- mortality by a free people? Never! Better that eternal fire should be his lot! On land or on sea, in this world or in the next, I denounce him! . . Scarcely had the echo of his voice died away, when the Senators, as if they had seen Medusa's head, were transformed into stone. Ancus Servius remained standing transfixed to the spot, with cold drops of per.. spiration gathered on his forehead. There, in the open doorway, stood Nero with blood-shot eyes, at the head Of a large body guard .,., THE MEDILLITE 117 When Messiah comes, she answered with a sigh. I fell upon my mother and kissed her hands, her lips, her cheeks, her forehead - I knew no end. Thanks to God I had found a plan. First I must be content that Messiah would come, which little detail would soon be accomplished, and then everything would be in order. There would be a Resurrection, my grandmother would return, and once more I would hear the stories - - - And when, mother, will Messiah come? I Messiah? When all Israel keeps the Sabbath once according to its laws, Messiah will come. I heard these words and my heart thumped within me. One Sabbath according to the laws. That was only a smafll thing. Before I should tell this 'to any one, all would know that I was the first one to strengthen my character and keep the Sabbath properly. I would keep the Sabbath as no man had done. I would sit all day long, do nothing, and would not go to sleep at night. But I would tell no one of my plans. My father would also help me keep the Sabbath as it should be properly conducted. I would plead with him. I-Ie would also want my grandmother to return and live again. The same conditon would be true of my mother, my brothers, my uncles, my aunts: all would keep the Sabbath for my grandmother. After that I ran across the street and into the Hebrew School, where I told all my friends of my plans, begging them to do me this favor because of my grandmother. I was sure they would all grant me my wish. I would travel with my father in our wagon to the suburbs, and I would tell it to all the people I met. ' Reckoning, I found that only a few days remained till the following Sabbath, when I should carry my plans into action. My thoughts became more exultant, my breath quicker, and I could not eat or sleep as I waited for the Sabbath. Oh! Childhood! Childhood! I could not understand what the world and its contents were, that the earth was large, that people were so different in their habits, ideas, and opinions that it was impossible for one person to persuade the rest to one desire and one thought. It is difficult to Hnd two persons of one mind when it is difficult to find two persons alike even in appearance. The Sabbath never came, Messiah did not come, there was no Resur- rection, and I did not see my grandmother again. History---Two-Year Course Feb., Rome Had Its History: Spain Had Its History, the world is based on history, so naturally the ' '28 class of Ioseph Medill High School should have its history. So here goes: t was on the third day of February in the year nineteen hundred twenty- six-a bleak and dreary winter day-that there entered into the Medill High School a group of freshmen in quest of knowledge. They the Medill High School a group of freshmen in quest of knowledge. They came, not as conquerors, but meekly, with a frightened air as they entered the portals of the school. However, as time passed and they grew ac- customed to the ways of the school, their strangeness passed away. Now as they look back at themselves, they laugh at the spectacle they presented then, a confused mixture of bewilderment and blunders. It happened during the second year that a new band of youths came 118 THE MEDILLITE and joined the others. It was at this time that the band of seekers for knowledge were introduced to an old custom of the school. Th' is custom was called Pig Tail Day. On this day bows of different colors were soldt th 'I ' ' o e gir s and ties of various colors to the boys. The proceeds went to the Milk Fund. It was in this second year that the Student Council was installed at M dll M e i . edill was now under a new form of government of the students: for the students: and by the students. Under this new government the class became very active. We participated in all activities and held a prominent position among the upper classmen. Lately there has been much hard labor and little rest by the way-side, for our band has been making preparations for their final departure from the school. Here and there have been shouts of gladness as a group of girls talked about the glitter of their fine white adornment. It seemed necessary that the band have certain colors which might proclaim to the world what they stand for. They therefore chose Maroon, which stands for courage, and white, which means hope. Thus the blencla ing of the two colors meant that our band will be brave and true men and women in thelgreat world towards which their steps are directed. They also wrote great and stirring words expressing their thoughts so that the people who would come to listen to their words on Commencement should be enlightened by the speakers. , Then, when the great night arrived, parents. teachers, and friends, overjoyed at the wisdom of the band, will applaud them greatly, and start every one of the members with a light heart on his journey on the road of life. And as each one leaves the stage he will bear in mind his pledge to keep his name on the Honor Roll of Life, as one who serves his fellow men, living up to his class motto, NO MAN LIVETH TO HIMSELF ALONE. Respectfully submitted. CLASS HISTORIANS: BERTHA BERNSTEIN BERNARD I-IOYT GUY SERPE Prophecy of Febru ary. 1 2 8 O I HERE COMES THE KING of Slumberland and sec the dream he is bringing me! There sits Guy Serpe reading the will of my late uncle, who has Ief: me his fortune on one condition. that I spenr half of it in travelling. Immediately I saw mvse'f entering ai bank to claim mv fortune. Upon entering the private ofiiceof the president of the bank, I saw a girl typing. Somehow, she looked familiar ta nl-:. I stood staring for a moment and finally recognized our own class president, Marie Krautter, now secretary to the president of the worId's largest bank. iSoon thelpresident entered: he was u tall, dignified, blond gentleman, THE MEDILLITE 119 whom I knew as soon as he spoke. It was Sam Cohen. After I received my inheritance and had been wished a happy journey by myiold friends, I began my preparations for my trip. I proceeded to a drug store to telephone to Sarah Silverstein, to ask her to be my companion on my trip. As I was buying my slug for the telephone I found myself staring in the face of Sidney April, proprietor of the New Novelty type of drug store. While conversing he told me that he had just met Elizabeth Ranallo and Dominic Delea, both happily married to six-foot blondes. On my way to the station I met Zelda Glick and Ienney Katz coming out of the Wrigley Building. I called: they heard me, and came running to me. They were employed as private secretaries to the Wrigley mil- lionaires. Wonders! I then bought my ticket for Paris. Next I saw myself on board the Leviathan, One stormy night, while I was on deck, the boat began tipping: I was falling, but lo! I was saved from falling overboard by Leo Bromberg. He was captain of the ship and on the job ! After a terrible storm there was calm. Next morning when I thanked Captain Bromberg, I was invited to dine with him. .There were other guests, too, Bernard Hoyt, enroute to Paris to his internationally known candy establishment, and Harold Tim' reck, authority on matters of the press. Arriving at Paris, I went immediately to Hotel Degozinsky, a famous hotel owned by one of my classmates. Madamoiselle Sophie Degozinsky greeted me with a most friendly smile and gave me. one of the most com- fortable and beautiful rooms I have ever had. Who should be there but Ieanette Spector and Esther Waxlander, musicians who were making a world tour. The following week I was invited to the opera, which was conducted by the great musical genius, Alfred Mazzo. There were Isadore Libman, first violinist: Edith Rabinowitz, the organist: Louis Nathan, the leading man: and Rose Fulgaro, the prima dona, who alternated the roll with Madam Freda Robert, the world's highest paid soprano. After the opera I went to a famous club for supper. As we entered. we were met by a lovely and charming hostess, who was none other than Mollie Barr. Upon my arrival at the hotel I was handed a telegram from my law- yer which stated that Sarah Silverstein had accepted my invitation and would meet me in London. As this was my last day in Paris, I was going to celebrate it by going to a masquerade ball with some acquaintances. I was dressed as Queen of Hearts. Someone dressed as King of Hearts asked me to be his partner. After the unmasking, I found my escort to be our one and only lack Gold- berg, now in Paris for Tiffany, the great jewelers, who entrusted him with their millions of dollars' worth of diamonds. Going in for some refresh- ments, we met Tillie Zelekson, who said she was a dancing instructor in the Paris School of Dramatic Art. - After eating, we went back to the dancing hall, and imagine my sur- prise when Sidney Goldstein came up and asked me for a dance! Sidney was cashier of the Paris Bank and perfectly happy, he said. lThe next day I left and went to England to meet Sarah. On the train I met Mary Dennis who was traveling for her firm, a rich perfume concern of Paris. We hadn't been together an hour when we saw a typical Chicago accident. A little girl was nearly run over. Her mother breathlessly came upon the scene, and who should she be but Bertha Bernstein! She 120 THE MEDILLITE r S f sg x s E 2 THE MPEDILLITE A 121 greeted us cordially and invited us to attend a bridge party that she was giving that night. Arriving there we were introduced to some of Bertha's very close friends: namely, Sylvia Swindler, Anna Rossman, and Esther Kramer. What a jolly occasion it was! These girls were secretaries to diplomats who were all just then at a conference in London. One clay while in the Scotch Highlands, we met Ethel Goodman tramp- ing fields of heather on an investigation tour for a sheep specialist. In Ireland, we saw Rebecca Merkin writing a novel. Little had we known that she would become a novelist. China, our next stop, was full of mysterious and surprising events. We found Freida Tarson in Honkong, Dora Altman in Shanghai, and Mary Brenner in Canton, all American saleswomen for rich American firms and all very successful and contented. In India our jinrikisha bumped' into another in which sat lean Ar- runo, who was as surprised as we at our meeting.. She was a successful insurance agent there. ' 1 Africa, the great jungle land, was our next destination. Upon arriv- ing there we went to the American Ambassador for protection, and who should it be but Nathan Rosenberg, ex-printer! He had employed as his private secretary Francis De Falco, who managed to plan a dance for us while we were there. Hilda Pentansky was there: she had come from the South on the Cape to Cairo Railway, which she was managing. We were not entirely ignorant of the geographical situation owing to the fact that we had all studied commercial geography. We met Gertrude Reifman traveling with Anna Cohen both eager to see all they could of Africa and bring back accounts of true facts to the present students of Medill. Elsie Bultas we saw in Egypt at the uneartliing of some new scientific discoveries. She was secretary to the scientist in charge. A Our next and most interesting city was the beautiful Venice. While in a sight-seing gondola we saw Ida Berger and Lena Brest, who, over the water, between our gondolas, told us that they were officials in the Med- iterranean Steamship Co. They looked prosperous. The next morning we went to see the rose gardens. While going there we saw a man ser- anading a beautiful girl. He happened to glance in our direction, and how romantic it was to discover that it was Pasquale Salvatore with Katie Tep- per. It was just a, stunt of these two musical artists. At Genoa we met Robert Avant, representing a New York concern and doing well. We then went back to Paris where we purchased some Parisian cost- umes, in the Modiste Shoppe owned by Sarah Epstein and Mollie Silver- man. Frieda Drower was there too, a model. She told us that Marie Klima and Helen Stromph were instructors in a gymnasium: and last but not least that our dear Emily Slaby was giving her time as nurse in the em- ergency ward of the Children's Relief Hospital. Imagine my surprise to find that the famous Col. Lindbergh promised to take us back in his aeroplane to Chicago. While crossing the Atlantic, I became a bit nervous thinking of the outcome, but my plucky partner assured me that we should arrive safely. As we saw the Statue of Liberty, we became so excited that our pilot let go of the wheel and down, down we came. lust then I awoke and found myself on the floor, a bit 'mystified but glad' that I had seen all my former classmates.

We thought that we should go in to see them but they were at a board of directors' meeting. Little did we know that the whole board of directors was com- posed of women, among whom were Yetta Schrieber and Laura Vondrak. We boarded the Berengaria and when we went to sign the log- book, we found the chief clerk on this ship to be Frances Goldberg. Fran- ces told us that as teacher in the gymnasium aboard the ship was Edith Isaac, who had at last realized her ambition to become a gym teacher. We arrived back in New York in due time and as a celebration we went to the Roxy Theater there,-a show house that was to New York what the Oriental is to Chicago. In the crowd pouring out of the show, we saw Frances and Matilda Cohen, both being secretaries to Yockimfi Simon, diamond brokers. ,. When we returned to our homes that evening, there was a letter await- ing us from Belle Waller, stating that she was retiring from her position as secretary to the President. She told us also that Rachel Sarli and Lena Caporale were married and each lived in an estate of her own, one in Vir- ginia and one in New Iersey. We were urged to see the Library of the first city of the world-New York. As we stepped inside its stately portals, who should we see but Anna Vais and Lucille Wittkopp, librarians there. We learned from them that Helen Schneider had written a book that was then on the public library shelf. She showed it to us, and the whole book revolved around one point: namely, 'School Life at .Medill. 124 THE MEDILLITE That was that for New York! We soon found ourselves Chicago bound. When we got to Chicago we learned that lean Roth and Annette Pinsky had teamed up to make a theatrical tour around the world. In this act lean played the piano while Annette sang. We also found that'Ber- nice Buckman had set her cap for a prominent orchestra leader in one of the large shows in which she was first violonist. This orchestra leader turned out to be Louis Telpner. After taking two years of bookkeeping, Louis turned out to be an Orchestra leader! Pretty good, eh? We were about to visit Rose Gordon who was sojourning in Chicago for a while after a strenuous offort as tennis champion in the Olympian games. We just got there in time to see a large aeroplane alight near by This plane had two occupants, who were none other than Ida Rothenberg and Adeline Schlan. Ida and Adeline were rather vexed over some trouble their plane had developed, but soon took notice of us. That night we went to see the basket ball game where Hyman Kohn and Iack Rudnitsky were starring, and we met Nathan Rothner, who was writing the story for the' Tribune, and Iames Brom-who seemed to be doing very nicely in the profession he had chosen. What is he doing? did you say? He's a Chicago politician. Well, as we sit here thinking of the days that we passed together at Medill, large lumps rise in our throats, and our eyes glisten suspiciously, for the leaves of a Nledill annual are turning slowly in our laps, and I think of how former Medillites are now making long pages of history. And jigs? think! I had met all of them and every one of them had made a success o 1 e, Respectfully submitted, FRED BAUMAN HAZEL BLOOMFIELD SARA STEINBERG Q . 'AQ .
