JUNE The Nineteen Thirty-one Graduation Number bABINITE JUNIOR Page 19 2216 W. Hirsch Blvd., Chicago, Illinois, April 16, 1931. Dear Parents: I am writing you a letter to tell you of the many things I can do to make our city clean. Of course if a city ls clean lt is more healthful and more beautiful to live in. When I say to keep our city clean I do not mean that one person should clean the whole city, I mean that one person should clean everything around that one person. We could start out by keeping ourselves clean inside and out. If we keep ourselves we want everything around to be clean clean. We should see that our desks are clean. Now we can begin cleaning our seeing that it is spick and span. home, We can also keep the sidewalks clean and we can mow the grass in our garden. Wo should see to it that the back as well as the front of the house is kept clean. I am also writing to tell you that I shall go along with my fellow students with the motto of Clean-up and Paint-up during Clean-up Week. Of course I shall try to clean-up and paint-up all the year around. Your loving daughter, Molly Shapiro, 303. 9A. 2016 Le Moyne St., Chicago, Ill., April 17, 1931. Dear Mother and Dad: Chicago, through the effort of our ener- getic new mayor, Anton J. Cermak, has set aside from April 20 to May 2 to clean uD our city outslde and in. As many of our great men and cities have started from the bottom up I think lt would be a. good idea for our city to follow-to clean-up its citizens, then its schools, then its homes, then its streets, and last but not least its government. I think we children can do as much in our sphere as you older people can in yours. We could do ourselves a SPCR'- favor both physically, mentally, and morally, by cleaning and keeping clean our own bodies and clothes. Our School and homes also need attention and I insist that with some whole-hearted co-operation on the part of the children, men, and women of this city we could make our municipality one of the cleanest, safest, and healthiest places to live in, in T-he world. Your loving son, Arthur Retchln, Room 111-9B. 2216 Hirsch Street, Chicago, Illlnols, April 16, 1931. Dear Parents: Clean-up Week, what a date! Attics to clean, cellars to clean, the whole house ln other words. For cleanliness, beauty, and civic pride the dates April 20 to May 2 have been officially set aside for a good clean-up. But Clean-up does not mean between these dates alone. Every day ln the year should be the motto. But since every clean, industrious housewife must start their annual spring house-cleaning. the dates April 20 to May 2 is ln their favor. In two weeks the smoke covered houses can look like palaces. Clean-up, Paint-up and Planting-up can be done. The chllldren can do odd jobs around the house. Rooms can be cleaned and painted. The yard can be transformed into a beau- fConiinucd in, Next Columnj THE WINNING CLEAN-UP LETTERS The girls and boys of Sabin wrote let- ters on Clean-Up.

And this can be done. As lt ls said, you must see that your own steps are clean before advising others. And so it is for ourselves as to everybody else. For civic pride ls the clty's motto. Hoping we will do our share ln the work. Your loving son, Geo. 0. Delaney. April 16, 1931, Sabin Jr. H. S-, 2216 Hirsch St., Chicago, Illlnols. Dear Mom: Clean-up.week starts on the twentieth of April. Boy! that means work tyou know spring house-cleanlngl. When we get started lt'll look like a tornado, but when wc're done lt'll look like a million dollars. By the way, Mom, where's the shoe polish? I forgot where I put it the last time I used it: where are all my ties? Guess I'll have to hire a detective to flnd them. They're getting particular about those things now. tSo am 1.3 They any the girls got us beat but we'll show them. We'll have to ask the landlord to pulnt the house. Look out! Don't faint! He might do lt. I almost forgot wo'll have to clean the stove pipes, too. But just like the mayor wants, the dirtiest job won't stop us! Your loving son, Veto. P. S. Fit Via Vi, energy wins the way. Ita tradunt, so they say. Veto Zabohonskl, Room 305-9A. 2216 Hirsch Street, Chicago. Illinois, April 16, 1931. Dear Parents: Dld you know that Clean-Up Week ls almost here? Well, it's coming soon, April 20 to May 2. In our .schlool we're going to have one of the best clean-up campaigns Sabin has ever seen. The flrst thing we shall do is to clean our lockers. We shall then proceed to clean the room and corrl- dors. Every speck of paper seen will be picked np and made a present of to the wastebasket. IConliuued in Next Columnj CLEAN-UP WEEK LETTERS-Cont. All over Chicago people are Setting ready to clean their houses. They're think- ing of how nice the house will look with a new coat of paint. The children are probably thinking of the money they will get for those old newspapers they've been saving for so long. We're all thinking of the things we're going to eat from our very own garden. When this clean-up cam- palgn starts, imagine all the unemployed people wc-rklng. This campaign will surely make Chicago a cleaner and a healthier place to live in . Your loving son, Henry M. Levinson, 203-9A. - April 16, 1931, Sabin Jr. H. S-, 2216 Hirsch St., Chicago, Illinois. Dear Dad and Mother: I have great news! Chlcago is going to be one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities of the world, and you are going to help me make it so. Mayor Anton J. Cermak has signed a proclamation naming the two-week period beginning April 20 and ending May 2 as Clean-up, paint-up, plant-up time. annual affair which I have This ls an mentioned to you in the past, and ls spon- sored by the Chicago Association of Com- merce.

Luptak and Kulak's faces shine with pride the next time they attend an Association of Commerce meeting. Well, here goes. How can you help me? Supply me with an apron, a broom, and a scrubbing brush. then stand aside and watch me make Old Man Dirt fly. Hand me a garden-to-be, some garden lmple- ments. my penny-packet seeds, a palr of overalls, and watch me plant what you will call the garden of Eden ln a few months. Give me that sad, grey, fence, some white paint and a brush, and after my work is over, a smile of satisfaction and pride. Well, Dad and Mother, are you willing. Old Pals? Yes? I knew lt! Thanking you with all my heart, Your daughter, Evelyn. Evelyn Kesner, Room 311-9A. Dear Parents: The year ls composed of four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. I wish I could add another season. I would call it the season of cleaning But since that is impossible, Anton J. Cermak ln- stead signed a proclamation to have two weeks of cleaning. This short cleaning season comes in the most beautiful season of the year. Do you know when that ls? Yes, lt comes ln spring, beginning on April 20th and end- ing May 2nd. Everything that sleeps dur. ing the winter wakens with a new life in spring. The sunshine, the sweet smelling flowers, the budding trees all contribute to make spring more lovely and beautiful. Therefore, why should we not also wake with new life and zeal and contribute our CConfinurd on Page 24, Col. 22

Page 18 The Niaxeirrix Tliirty-nm' Graduation Number SABLNITE JUNIOR JUNE THE ANCIENT MARINER By Lillian Davison, 305 A man alone, a host of spirits round. What world so blase can e'er be found. As the marlner recounts his tale, See his life, windswept by gale. II The ship speeds on. and then a pause, And enveloped about, by fog, then the bird, appears to view, with it brings a south wind new. III The Mariner is dumb. with sorrow spent. For he, to its deatn. the bird has sent, And then the wind with rage and ire, Makes the ship a place most dire. IV men, they said. he'd sinned 'galnst God, But before with sleep all heads do nod. The sun comes up and shines so bright, That all avow the slaying right. V And And The But still again avers the sea, The Albatross avenged must be, The sea reached out its long green arm. And held the ship as if from harm. VI Water! Water! 0 God but dole One drop from out the ocean's bowl, The water about reminds them. And dropping with thirst fall all the men. VII And then a satl appears to the eye, The Mariner sucks his blood to cry, A ship! A ship! but as he speaks The air with death abroad still reeks. VIII The ship holds two, a death, u life, And between the two ls strife, They play the dice and then Death lays its icy hand on the men. IX But the Mariner! Behold, he lives! For to him, a death in life she gives, All about death parades his gain. The Mariner lives, but in life finds pain. X But then the Mariner doth see, For slaying the Albatross, this is the fee, As he meditates his poor heart turns, And to bless the sea creatures he yearns. XI The mother of God sends a blessed sleep, That envelopes his soul as tho from the deep: While in slumber, his soul salvation does tind, The boat speeds on, directed by spirits kind. XII The dead men! What a gruesome sight, And as shore is neared, as falls the night: The spirits take the boat onto the shore, And then depart, to come no more. THE ANCIENT MARINER By Hanna Weiss, 305 Bid to a wedding feast, And going on my way, I chanced upon an ancient man, Skinny and tattered and gray. II He stoppeth me to have a word, There was a ship quoth he. This ship it sailed a northward course Bound for the silent sea. Ifmxtiuiwd in Nrxl Column! THE ANCIENT MARINER The 305 9A English class in 104 read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and was re. quested to write either a synopsis of it or to express an opinion alsout it or its meaning. Some of the graduates chose to express themselves in verse and others in prose. Here are samples of the inspiring effect of Coler- idge's poem. ,I 'ff' ' III But still I wished to go my way, But I cannot choose but hear, The words of that bright-eyed man. The Ancient Mariner. IV Ile telleth me of how Ile sailed upon the sea And met the storms that wrecked the ships That thrilleth you and me. V He tells of all the hate he knew Upon that fatal ship When many a time those wild winds blew And the sails e'en seemed to dip. VI Of how he killed the Albatross, a bird. Now sore avenged was he And now his shipmates fell and died Upon that stormy sea. VII His tale of woe ls ended I couldn't choose but hear The words of that bright-eyed man, The Ancient Mariner. THE RIME. OF THE ANCIENT MARINER By Aaron Sverdlils, 305 Rlme of the Ancient Mariner by Sam- uel T. Coleridge is one of the most inter- esting and fantastic of poems ever written. The story of the Ancient Mariner couldn't possibly be true.

The walls must be absolutely sound-proot', and the door secured by tour patent locks and a burglar alarm: where the prying eyes of my little brother might never cast covetous glances at the baseball gloves, or banners, or ten- nls rackets, or any of the numerous pic- tures hanging on the wall: where my big sister tyes.

There would be banners on the walls, and trophies, and oriental statuettes, foils, other fur- Arabian daggers, and countless things. The room would be simply nlshed, with a bookcase in one end, filled with my favorite books, a soft comfortable chair, and the army cot I slept on in camp. lYes, the one with the broken springs.i I would be willing to be in that room twenty-five hours a day. TI-IE LIMIT What is your son taking at college? All I've got. THE RIME 0.F THE ANCIENT MARINER- such beings as Death and Llfe-in- death. Following ls the synopsis of the story ol' the Ancient Mariner: The Ancient Mariner kills a bird which is known as the Albatross and which has been following the ship and is supposed to be a bird of good omen. After the bird is killed, storms hit the ship and drive it toward the south pole. The sailors all blame the change of weather on the Ancient Mariner, because he killed the blrd that brought good luck. They hang the dead Albatross around his neck as a sign of his misdeed. Death and Life-in-death play dice for the shlp's crew. Life-in-death wins the Ancient Mariner. One after another his shlpmates drop down dead, but the Ancient Mariner must live on. He is lin- ally rescued after he has suffered as no other man has ever suffered before and lived to tell the tale. The Ancient Mariner must go from land to land to tell his strange story in order to teach by his ex- ample one thing-do not kill God's crea- tures, as he dld when he killed the Albatross. Probably the thing I liked and enjoyed the Ancient words were The author more than anything else ln Mariner is its rhyme. The more like music than poetry. got the desired effect by putting the exact word ln the right place and making them tloat through one's brain- When one starts to read the Ancient Mariner he does not have to force himself to continue. I can truthfully say that I think the author, Samuel T. Coleridge, composed a perfect poem.
