JUNE The Nirmtvrn Thirly-one Graduation Number SABINITE JUNIOR Page 1 5 MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY By Evelyn Kenner, 311 It was a cold snow-white afternoon on November the 9th, 1916, when my mother opened the door and admitted the stork. As Old Man Stork ilapped his wings to depart, I opened my mouth as wide as pos- sible and let out a loud wall for I did not want my old friend to leave, but from that time until this very day I have found that my friend, the stork, had the best in. tention ln the world for me since he had left me ln the hands of the most priceless people ln the world, my father and mother, After leaving my flrst home, the hospl- tal, at which I stayed with my mother for two weeks, I arrived at my flrst real home located on Fowler Street, across from Wicker Park. I had met my father during his frequent visits to see my mother and I at the hosptlal but when I was brought home I was greeted by my sister and brother w-ho had stayed with my grand- mother durlng the time that my mother and I were away. My sister welcomed me joyously as a newcomer but my brother disliked the brand new llttle soft bundle who had come to steal his title as the royal baby of the family. In order to avenge himself one day, he grabbed my bottle as I slept and drank it all up after flnlshing his own. As I opened my eyes and-found an empty bottle by my side I naturally let out a wall since I was hungry. lWho wouldn't be after taking a long trip to slumber- land?l As my mother ran into the room she beheld my one-year-old brother hldlng under my crib and me crying plteously with two empty baby bottles by my side. PART 2 When I was two years old our family moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, for business reasons and lt was there that the best years of my life were spent. With nothing to think about besides eat- ing, sleeping, playing and later Boing to sf-hool, my days were fully occupied. NO. I did not have the most fun eatlng, but it was in play that I recall the good times my friends and I had. Being too young to start school during my flrst few YGBYS in Fayetteville I will relate how my time was spent. My brother and I were the first ones ul! in the morning, each trying to get UD be' fore the other. We dressed. slid down the stairway banlster, ran down to the kitchen and out into the yard where the chickens were hungrily cackling for breakfast. Of course my brother always beat me to the coop and he was the victor as we b0th walked back to the house bearing the freshly laid eggs which caused such a hullaballoo each morning. Wading ln a creek in the woods near our house was one of the great.est sports. It was great fllll slipping our bare feet over the mossy. slippery rocks and splashing Water at 98011 other caused much laughter 81110118 11131 playmates and mYS91f- When the days were too hot to do any' thing we climbed into the hayloft and told stories. My llttle frlend, Dorothy, who was ml' flrst and best little pal, taught me to churn butter and it was fun watching the butter grow creamy as lt was churned. How well I can recall the daYS 111 D070- thy's play-room. Formerly an attic, lt had been remodeled into a cozy llttle 110011 where some of my 11811111931 UBYS were spent. Our dolls were not the llttle cooing mama-dolls of today with closing eyes and real eyelashes but nevertheless we were their vigilant mothers. I shall never forget the day in the play- room when I flrst laid eyes upon a doll who could say mama. The doll had been given to Dorothy by a friend and I was awed beyond words as the small ob- ject repeated mama. Walking ln the woods and plcklng the daisies and other flowers, watering the roses which clustered about our white house. added to my happy days ln Fayette- ville. Q XX Af ' X I f I I At night when the hot sun was gone, leaving the stars and moon to cast their beams upon us, we would participate ln quiet games. We would sit upon the swing which hung on our front porch and swing back and forth as we sang songs. One night we had a great treat and what made it all the more joyous was that we had least expected lt. For some time my mother and our next door neighbor had planned on making ice cream, so one night as we all sat laughing and singing on our front porch my mother ushered us into the kitchen where our neighbor stood beside an ice cream freezer. How happy we were as we all crowded about for our share! When the freezer was perfectly empty, we put our plates on the table and as each of our friends went home we declared to each other what a flne time we had had. Some evenings were spent on a small hill by the slde of a nelghbor's house. At times my mother and a few of our friends' mothers would come to spend the evening with us. The older folks enjoyed the games of The farmer ln the dell, Johnny is a Miller, and many others, and after a while t.hey would get so out of breath that we had to stop playing. One evening as the older folks sat on their porches and fanned themselves. we were enjoying ourselves on the hlll. Sud- denly someone crled out, Look, there's a house on flre! By the time we arrived at the flre there was a crowd by the burning house and it was great excitement watching the sparks fly as the flremen fought to put the flre out. Luckily no one who lived ln the house was hurt and each of us was hurried home by our parents. PART 3 Oftentlmes I would watch my sister who attended a small school near our house, go to school each morning. How I envled her as she proudly started off with the school- bag which my mother had made for her slung around her arm! One afternoon as she started off for school after dinner I asked her to take me with her. My sister who was older, under- stood that my mother would worry if I went off without telling her, but I knew my mother would not let me S0 if I 891100 her since I was too young. I finally pe,-- suaded my sister to take me, and we both started off to school. When I entered the teacher, whom I remember wearing a llt- Ile W11116 Hlbron, seated me on a small chair in a circle with the other children of my sis'-91' H 100111. Miss Rose. the teacher handed me a book and I shyly opened mg Pages and looked at the pictures, Just then I looked up as I heard my 11-10tl191 S v0lce, and there she stood in the mom- 9999-111118 to the teacher and almost 111111Ded out of her shoes from surprise as glggkaaw me calmly looking at a picture i A short time later I started school and gt 52:11 hcifemtht-is Itggifled the acquaintance Y es r nd , n teacher, Miss Rose. e S my rat grade Our time in flrst grade was spent in 1931111118 to read, write, figure, and the latter Dalit of the day was spent ln playing games. PART 4 All of the boys and girls look forward to the time each year, that the circus comes to town. There was always a clrcus parade and all of the children were lined UD to match uptown where the parade was held. We all watched with wide open eyes as the elephant came down the street all arrayed in bright colors. One of the most interesting sights was watching the en- chanting lady who rode lu a cage filled with snakes which twined themselves about her body. At Christmas time we had a party in school and all our parents and friends were lnvlted to come to the party. The Darty was held in a very large room, in one-half of which the pupils were seated and in the other half, the visitors. How proud I was as my mother waved to me from the opposite side of the roo1n! The visitors were entertained by the children for a while and then-then came our treat. Everyone stopped talking and the room was perfectly silent. I wondered what was going to happen, and just then the door opened and in walked-who do you suppose? Yes, lt was Santa Claus. I became so frightened that I felt my heart spring up to the ceiling and down to its place again. Just then I heard a scream and when I looked toward the crowd of visitors I beheld my llttle friend, Dorothy, who had become so frightened at the sight of Santa Claus for the first tlme ln her life that it was necessary for her mother to take her out. When everything was calm again, the student who had por- trayed the role of Santa Claus passed out to the pupils. After the fruit and nuts party was over and I had gone home with my mother, I thought about what had hap- lpened and I realized how foolish I had een. PART 5 Every year a celebration was held on the Fourth of July and 1 had never fnlled to be present. At this time we would go uptown to what was like a small boulevard and walt for the flre engines to arrive with their hose. In the mlddle of the boulevard a watermelon was placed in which was a tlve dollar gold piece. Anyone who at. tempted to get the watermelon would get the hose turned on hlm and this afforded much laughter to the onlookers. How we laughed as an old negro ran into the midst of a shower of water to get the water- melon! Instead of running back to the sidewalk he commenced dancing and when everyone laughed he grabbed the water- melon and ran off with it. flfantiuurd on Page 23, Col. Z1

What isl a friend? l will tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be your- self. Your soul can be naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse. When you are with him, you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think so long as it is genu- inely you. He understands those contra- dictions in your nature that lead others to misjndge you. With him you breathe freely. You can avow your little vanitles and envies and hates and vlclous sparks, your meannesses and absurdities and, ln opening them up to him, they are lost, dis- solved on the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands. You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him. Best of all, you can keep still with him. lt makes no matter. He likes you-he is like fire that purges to the bone. He understands. You can weep with him, sin with him, laugh with him, pray with him. Through it all-and underneath -he sees, knows and loves you. A friend? What is a friend? Just one. I repeat with whom you dare to be yourself.-CA Kay- moud Beron. TO THE GRADUATING CLASS- You. the graduating class of June, '31, are about to leave Sabin to enter the high school of your choice. You are now fairly launched upon the preparation of your career. It is now time to settle down and think seriously of the future. You are coming citizens of the United States: you will be the leading figures ln your com- munities. Upon you rests the destiny of a nation. Upon you rests the fate of the next generation. In a few years you will start forward on your adventure of Life. Your life will be as you make it. All your childish notions have been swept away, and before you is your goal. dimly seen in the distance, yet shining brightly as it beckons you. Their will be many trials before you reach your destination. Some of you will fall by the wayside. Others will deviate from the proper course and will go down, down! They will become the rabble of the world. deserted, forlorn, pennlless. Others yet, possibly you among them. will follow the right trail: will stick to a high standard of honor: will earnestly and perseveringly attempt to forge ahead de- spite the buffets of life. Those are the ones who will reach their goal. Theirs shall be Success. They shall reach the pinnacle of Fame. But the battle is not oven. You must preserve the standards which brought you to the top. You must deal fairly and justly. And then, when you have served the world to the best of your ability. you can say this: I have done my duty. My duty toward my home, my country, my com- munity: to the ones who love me and have confidence in me: to my parents who have strived and sacrificed in order that I might be what they did not have the opportunity to be. I have paid my debt to them. And so, until you can utter those words, you must work, and struggle, and sacriflceg but not for one moment yleld an inch from the straight path. To you, graduating class of June, '31, I give this missive, as a reminder to tell you that the only way ls the right way. Good luck. S. H. JUST WADE INTO TROUBLE By Sid fDulxel Harris Sometimes when you're feeling blue. just think of the fellow worse off than you. Things won't be hard if you only just grin, when it seems that the world isn't worth living in. Things will change for the good, if you buck up and laugh: just show Old Man Hard Times that you can stand the gaff. Just say: I'm not worried: lt'll turn out all right! Then stick out your chin, and keep up the fight. Just wade into trouble and land him a crack, that'll knock him so dizzy, he'll never come back. This is the motto, for a winning attack: Just wade into trouble, and land him a crack. A GREAT DESERT AT SABIN The greatest desert that I ever wit- nessed was in Room 309. Just imagine. a desert six and one-half inches wide, and fourteen inches long! It has growing on it, desert plants called Opuntla, and a Christmas Cactus and many others. This desert is one of the most beatiful things in the science room. Henry Bugeilski. JUNE I 'X S I ' 3 ec g -,.Ze.e3Ne-.,.. ARMY or PLANES VISITS CHICAGO There were 659 U. S. Army planes flying over the Navy Pier and the lake front on May 21 as the closing festival in Chicago's Jubilee Celebration. The planes appeared at 20 minutes to 10 and flew over the pier where they did most of their stunts. There were all typos of Army planes: the train motor bombers, swift single pursuit planw, attack ships with batteries of machine guns mounted in the after cockpit, National Guard ob. servation planes and a miscellaneous flcot of transports, ambulance and rescue ships. The parade formation was as follows: 36 Heavy Bombardment Planes 33 Light Bombardment Planes 51 Attack Planes 249 Observation Planes 194 Pursuit Planes The parade passed at an altitude less than 300 feet. The Spads also lead formation. First going by three's then forming the letter circle, S , 2 and L . A big bomber broke formation and spread a big smoke screen, followed by two other ships pouring more smoke. Behind this smoke 39 planes left Chicago and started back to Dayton. CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK Herman N. Bunch-sen, BLD. Commissioner of Health Did you ever see a crew of mechanics tuning up a plane for a cross-country flight? Did you observe the extreme care given to all the tests and how very par- ticular they were about the motor? Did it ever occur to you to look into the condition of your human motor-your heart? Have you had it checked lately? ls there too much carbon in your cylin- ders? Strange how people take such excellent care of their motor cars and their watches, yet wait until they themselves break down before consulting an expert body mechanic. Why not go to your family doctor at least once a year. say, on your birthday. for an inventory or check-up. and see just how you stack up? This will help you to discover and correct minor types of dis- ability before they become serious. When you meet a friend and say how do you dc? and he replies pretty well. how are you? just think for, a moment of your own condition and ask yourself if you really know as much about yourself and your own mainspring as you do about your car or your watch. Check not alone your watch and your auto, but double check that which is of far greater lmportancf+your heart and your health.

Bennet Sabin Band THE SENIOR DANCE The Senior Dance was held Tuesday, June 23, after school, in the large gymna- sium, after a short musical program. The music was perfect and the dancers strutted the latest steps with grace, due to Miss Northgraves' teaching in the Social Hour. The climax of the dance came when the popularity crowns were presented to Ben Shapiro, most popular boy, and Toby Veni- cor, most popular girl. After a short ln- troductory speech by Sid Harris, Miss Dopp presented crowns made by Miss Clark. The proud king and blushing queen were at a loss for words to express their thanks. Toby Venlcor, the charming queen, has a list of two popularity contests to her credit now. She was acclaimed queen at the Association House a few months ago. Ben Shapiro is well known and well liked by all. Other close contestants were Eve- lyn Teitelbaum, who trailed behind Toby Veniwr only by a few votes, and Joe Lup- tak, iwvlllar mayor, who gave Ben a hard tussle. The dance closed after the orchestra played Home, Sweet, Home.
