We entered a large building and in the tablet telling who the owners were appeared the names 'of Lucy Messina and Rose Lipschultz. 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
