THE MEDILLITE 85 x CLEAN -UP COMMITTEE Ably supervised by Miss Cecelia Brennan, the Clean-Up Com- mittee did some very good work. In the contest of last year, the com- mittee won for Medill, the third place prize, which consisted of fifty dollars. This year the Clean-Up Committee is well on its way to an- other victory, having compiled records and pictures for the clean-up book. A tour of the neighborhood was made and all of the rubbish taken out of the alleys and streets. During the Weeks of the Clean- Up drive, the committee scoured around for before and after pictures. Very many good ones were taken and they are expected to win another prize for the school. Miss Brennan, who has so well sponsored the drive, is continually laying out plans for the future of the campaign. It is her generalship that is keeping the members of the committee eagerly at work, To her good work and to Lauretta Iocco, chairman of the committeeg should go much of the credit.

THE MEDILLITE '87 Lightweights The lights ended the season in a much better position than the heavies. When the curtain was rung down for the end of the regular season, the lights were ready to enter the semi-finals. In two heart- breaking games, the team lost by one point, sending Medill out of the finals. The regular team started with Bernstene at guard, Strongin at guard, Lebedinsky and Horwitz, forwards, and Feinberg, center. The team worked the center play often throughout the season and was successful through the wonderful pivot work of Irv. Bern- stene's uncanny dribbling and passing with his co-worker, Strongin, could not be broken up. Two of the leading scorers of the city were Horwitz and Lebedinsky. Graduation, however, broke up the team, and after Horwitz, Strongin and J. Bernstene had left, the five regu- lars were N. Bernstene, Fay Kaplan, L. Lebedinsky, I. Feinberg and D. Weiner. Those back for next year are: Yonnie Cohen, Fay Kaplan and Izzy Schultz. - Heavyweights Playing a strong game throughout the year, the heavies finished a rather good season. The team used some fine pass-work and had good shots. The mainstay of the team and its captin, Lester Wilens, was lost through graduation in the middle of the season. The other men lost in this way were Marte Bruno, Chas. Levin, and Martin Kan- ter. George Margolis, who had played a steady game since his ar- rival on the team, then took over the captainship. The team was then comprised of Margolis, Rosen, Goldberg, Speigle and Goldstock. None of the heavies are back for next year, so Coach Center will prob- ably use last year's lights. ,
