58 THE MEDILLITE attention to it. Soon, however, we fell headlong toward the ocean because our rug had developed a large hole in the center. Everything came out all right because we landed in a ship United States-bound, with Mike Capasso as the captain. Aboard the ship were Tillie Gale and Jennie Be u f - g n, amous co authors of many of the best-sellers. They were returning from a round-the-world-trip. When we arrived in New York, we went into a department store and accidentally met Kate Korn and Thelma Kalinsky, who told us that they were much interested in the social and political activities of greater New York. Later, in the afternoon we went to a Democratic convention and there was that Congress-woman-at-large, Edith Miller. After her fa- mous oraion, she came and talked to us. She told us that Molly Olef- sky, Sophie Zukowsky, and Helen Myers were teachers in old Medill. But, she added, not the Medill we had left but a new enormous Me dill with a swimming pool, football field, and all kinds of equipment unheard of in our day. As the last page of the old annual turns in our lap, we awake from our day dream and thank Providence that our classmates are to be such a success in life. We hope that our dear teachers' lives will b h ' e as appy and prosperous as the lives of those whom they have en- deavored to send to worthwhile positions and success May our pro- phecy be fulfilled or better yet, improved upon.

THE MEDILLITE 57 Miss Kesselman, the far-famed violinist, played selections from the American operetta, The Desert Song. And next, cried the announcer, whom we recognized as Sarah Pervosky, We have with us today, the fastest typist in the world. This too, is art, so we take great pleasure in introducing to you Miss Tillie Rosenthal of Chicago, Illinois, U. S. A. Toward the end of the performance a lovely pantomine scene was enacted. Among those whose lovely forms graced this production were Shirley Berlin, Ida Aryeif, and Margaret Furman. Happening to glance up at the boxes, we saw, to our amazement fif we had foreseen this trip we would have brought some shock-absorbers with usb, Anna Grigorchik, Ann Steinberg, and Minnie Solovitz sitting with the Premier of France. What could they be doing there? Oh, yes, Minnie was American ambassador, who with her two friends was being entertained by France. s ' After the performance we wended our way to a well-known and beautiful hotel, where we soon found ourselves with Edith Blitstein, the owner of this hotel of international reputation. Upon waking the next morning, we found that we did not have any more money left, and as we wanted to purchase some articles from the art shops we decided to go to the bank and have them wire to America for money. Going to the information desk whom should we see 'but Ruth Circle. She informed us that she was not the only one of our old classmates working in the bankg that Rose Cechura was the cashier, and on the fourth floor another surprise was await- ing us. Surely enough! Upon opening the door of the president's office we saw Meyer Sorkin, and his two private secretaries, Anne Chapnick and Mary La Bianco. Whew! What surprises! And we thought the world so big! After all our business was transacted, we decided to fly to Eng- land to embark for home at Liverpool. Our aviatrix was so familiar looking! Of course! Bertha Seveloe of our old class. In Liverpool we noticed a group of girls in gym suits in a garden. Stopping to watch them we saw that the instructor was Bessie Silverstein. It was not necessary for her to introduce her co-operatives, Hilda 'Eausan and Blanche Skoty. Across from this garden was an art shop on the windows of which were these words, Mademoiselles Estelle Cotel and Mildred Chiodof' Needless to say we did all our art purchasing here, so much that we found our funds again diminishing to the zero point. Then we wished for our carpet! and lo and behold! it was be- fore us. We boarded it and were promptly lifted into the air. We noticed that the carpet was beginning to wear out, but paid little
