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

66 THE MEDILLITE -Q: J.- STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council this year did some splendid work, and proved in every way the ability of the students to govern themselves. 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.
