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
