My private secretary, Sarah Silberstein had received a telegram from Chicago which caused great excitement.

XYe succeeded in securing a transeoutinental passenger aero- plane piloted by the famous Frank Rajski. The trip was made in remarkable time for we arrived in New York in only twenty hours. To break the monotony of the trip we went to a motiim picture show. There we noticed that Sydell Kolton. the famous actress was appearing in Co- spzettef' Playing opposite her was her husband.

For ten years had she worked until she became head of that institution. Not once in those years had she seen an old acquaintance. As her vacation was drawing near she decided to spend it at her birthplace. Chicago, in the hope of meeting some old friends. june 3, 1939, she boarded the Northwestern' train. After rising a long while, she heard a great noise and bustle and rec.gnized her beloved Chicago. She felt tired and hungry and walked into a restaurant. She had not looked at the window display bearing the names of two old Sabinites, Kr.-l and Zwacke. She sat down at a table. The waitresses were not in sight so the manager walked up to take her trzlet' She looked up antl met eyes she had recognized, XX hy if it isn't old liddic. , she exclaimed.

A pretty girl walked out wearing a gown, too sweet for words. I.t.oking closer at her the librarian recognized her as Vernene .Xrsent-an. Directly she went into the store and as Vernene Continued from page 2-l Yfoiuferizig when the trip would start I hurried to the Milli--,Tlllilllllll Desk. There was no mistaking the trim young women. Those candid grey eyes belonged to Mary Cigoj, the black-haired Miss was Dorothy Garduk. The .ther was lfreida Gittler. We talkedabont the queerest things. about life abroad. They were well informed on all subjects for the cleverest women were needed for the po- sitions they filled. Dorothy looked up suddenly, VVhy there is Tony now , she said. Sure enough it was and by hi.: side was Frank Anderson, his friend and helper. The journey was by airplane. The plane was piloted by jack llertz. I saw many strange and marvelous things. the streets were so very clean. Wie stopped at a bigger zznzl better Riverview. parkingthe plane on a crowded Held nearby. Drawn by the ballyhbo of Louis Geller's stentorian, his alluring voice telling of the wonders of Professor Pomeroy, the magician. Unfortunately, I was not able to see him .or the open air concert was about to begin. I hurried to the terrace where the concert was held. There was only time enough to take a program and sit down. The music, sojt and lovely, became part of the warm evening air. I fjlancecl at my program, Casimer Glowinski, Irene Kacz- marek, violins, Michael Procyk, clarinet and julia Glenn, accompanist. Numbers arranged by Ruth Rosen, manager. I was aware suddenly of the industrious scratching of two pens. Mary Ilnbicz and Celia I.amm were writing up the concert, Mary taking notes on the music and Celia on the women's clothes. Mary nodded to the grinning photograph- ers. I had no difficulty in recognizing Edwin Szynczyski and Norman Messing. There was an almost blinding Hash of lights. It put into relief the dark khaki figure on the stage blowing salute to the Colors. On the Hagpole Old Glory lookedylike a rare exotic flower. I remembered that Figure. It was Arthur Cohen. A quiet settled over the group. I felt incredibly lonesome. I got up and walked to the television station and ordered my little junker plane. W'hen I got to my apartment I felt better. I rejoiced that night that the members of 108 are happy and prosperous. was to have lunch soon, she waited for her and they both walked into a confectionery. V ernene told her that Emelia Kuklcwicz was a dress maker and was doing fine, and Stephanie Kempski was the world's famous sprinter. They later parted and the librarian went to her hotel. The next morning with hopes of seeing more friends she awoke to find a warm day. Having breakfasted she took up :mother path. She glanced up at the skyscrapers to see a sign which read l.. Stromberg, Advertising. Going into the oltiee. she niet. to her great joy, Genevieve Habura and l.ena Vita working as stenographersg Marian Malkin was the private secretary. She was then lead to the private ofhce and their congratulated Louis on his great success in busi- ness. While talking to him they were interrupted by a young lady entering. She was so pretty that the librarian had to look twice to recognize her as her friend Sara Minkus what was a college teacher. Louis introduced her as his tiancee. The librarian wished them luck and left. Passing it restaurant she glanced in at the window to see it face familiarvto her, that of Helen llaube. She entered to speak to lier. ,Helen told her that she was cashier. She told her that Stanley Sabor was with the Chicago Symphony Or- chestra. Irene Richter, Mary Gralick and Helen Kedzior were famous athletes: Norma Sendstad had opened a dress shop and all young society, women came to buy their clothes there: Dora Levinson was a gym teacher, while Elizabeth tiootlefsky. a very studious woman. was head of the depart- ment of mathematics at ASabin: Esther Kutok was a radio singer and Philip ywitioztttii was a prosperous real estate dealer. Finally they bid eachgother good bye. The librarian was long trying to secure a certain book, lintering a book shop she recognized Sabin's former judge, David Ifislnnan. He was purchasing a book on aviation, being the proftssor of Aerodynamics at the Chicago Uni- versity. After discussing old times for a while they parted. She next passed a synagogue and saw that a wedding was occuring inside. She was just in time to see Rabbi Harry Orelewitz unite Edith liaygood, a Latin teacher and Isadore Lev, a widely known business man, in marriage. She was happy to see this school day romance consummated. Buying the American Peach she glanced at the Sport Section to see these words Mytias, Brietbart, and Stone Voted Upon to NVin Cubs Game: Fox VVill Umpire. ' She was indeed very happy to read this as these boys even in school were baseball fans. The circus being in town she looked at the billlroard to see a photo of the world's smallest man and to her surprise it was none other than NVillie Gerstein. She then decided to go to the Tribune Tower to speak to the editor on important business. She was at once directed to the olliee to see her dear friend, Frieda Zimmerman, chosen as the Tribune's first woman editor. She was told by the editor more about her classmate. ,lennie Bauer who was a celebrated pianist, and Morton Sonnenschien was a promin- ent statt-'s attorney. These two were often seen together but denied reports of their being engaged. Max Handzel and Harry Weprin had opened an architect's ofhce. Louis Levine owned an orchestra of which the dashing youth, Mor- ton Cohen was conductor. Andrew Kucho was a Hoor- walker in a large department store while Loretta Calvet was governess of a very rich family. After hearing this news she went to ease her mind in a theatre. The main feature was over but when the last of the comedy was shown she saw Bernice Sokol, the w0rld's famous comedienne. And so ended her vacation of re- acquaintanceships.
