'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. First we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp -deserving to a high-school graduate. I . As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows, viz: Q l. We give and bequeath to our Principal, Mr. Davidson, restful, mighty, and peaceful dreams. We promise him a rest from the class of twenty-eight. 2. To Mrs. Knauss we turn over the art of catching ditchers: may she always fail. 3. To our esteemed coach, Mr. Sami H. Center, we leave our roomy gymnasiums, magnificent campus, football field, hockey rink, and our large, spacious assembly hall. 4. To our Miss Ross we dedicate the honorof holding our girls' basket ball and tennis championship cups. May our mantle fall completely on her shoulders.
