Page 26 The lVim-fren Thirty-one Grddxmfiou Number SABINITE JUNIOR JUNE SPRING IN CHICAGO By Hanna Weiu There comes once every year, A time we'll ne'er forget, The blossoms bloom ln clusters, The birds sing everywhere, On bush and tree, and leaflet Fheir glad songs swell the alr, Surely you have guessed lt, Phe spring is everywhere. The earth has shed its bareness, For them on everyone, I The Buttercup and Daisy are nodding in the sun, The grass has changed Its colors, The birds above us soar, Surely you have guessed lt, The spring ls here once more. Merrymaking and fun begins, Just as soon as spring allows. Again to parks we'll go, Surely you have guessed it, It's spring in Chicago. SPRING IN CHICAGO By Fannie Gold Flowers blooming here and there, Birds are singing every where: The dreary bareness that has DHSSGCI. Has given nature a chance at last. II Nature has done her best, Now we must do the rest, To the parks we'll all go, Now Sprlng's in Chicago. THE ROSEBUSI-I By Harold Pokru, 107-BB There lived a man by the river side. He was poor and his wife had died. And when he was going to join his wife, He was happy to leave this world of strife. 2 He called to his side his daughter. Mary. For she was his pride over hill and prairie. and he said. When I am dead, do not mourn, But the hill you will adorn, With a rosebush, and so he died. 3 Mary, her father's wishes did carry, And so she tramped over hill and prairie. Tlll she came to the spot where the rose- bush should stand, And there she planted it in the sand. ililil- MY SPRING VACATION By Edward McEvoy, 88, P. 6 During my spring vacation, I went to Hollywood Where I saw the actors and actresses From the corner on which I stood. 2 There was Mary P-lckford and Llla Lee, John Gilbert and Rudy Vallee They were talking about the picture Which they were going to display. 3 I was very tired and weary, And wanted to go to bed, Soon I was off to falryland With a pillow under my head. 4 And coming back to Chicago I thought of Hollywood And remembered the actors and actresses From the corner on which I stood. El' I' Il Il Il Il Il II iq' POETRY SECTION ILI' Il I1 Il Il I1 Il Il UQ' THE TELEPHONE By Shirley Kulvlin Isn't lt a funny thing? A telephone with its rjng, ring, ring: It has a mouth-piece and a receiver, too, Through which you hear me and I hear you. 2 I say, Hello, who is speaking please? And you reply, It is I, Louise, Then after we talk for a little while, We both hang up in the regular style. 3 It strikes me funny what this thing can do, It is quite small but important, too, Because it tells us all about, The things that go on in and out. APPLE PIES By Sid fDuIxel Harris 'Twas a dark and stormy evening, Not a star was in the sky, As I trudged the sloppy pavements, And I heaved an awful sigh. No, my brother wasn't dying, And our taxes weren't due, But I'll confide to you the reason, That I felt so Eosh.darn blue. Yesterday was Friday, And as I hurried home at three, I beheld fin dreams! the apple pie, My mother'd baked for me. I rang our rusty doorbell, Ma met me at the door, She said, Your lovely apple ple Was, but is no more. Your Aunty Sue and Uncle James Came to our house today, They've eaten up your apple ple, Tbey've both come here to stay. Now you know my sorrow, And life jest ain't no fun, 'Cause my apple pies all vanish, Like snowballs in the sun. FROLIC OF THE ELFS By Sid Herrin, P. 2-BA A summer bneeze is blowing, Over the broad expanse, In the mid of the green covered meadow, The tiny elflns dance. The drone of the bee ls their music, And happiness reigns supreme, And watching them from my hiding place, It seems like a wonderful dream. The moon is a crescent of silver, The stars are twinkling bright. As I watch those sprites, all gamboling, On this balmy summer night. At the first faint blush of day break, With remorse, they scamper away, Leaving myself and the meadow, To witness the newborn day. SMILING MOONS By Bruno Schlaelzetkn, P6-BA The sky is dark The stars are bright And, Oh, the Moon! Ever so much the brighter than the rest, Looks at me as if he were my guardian. Who knows what is behind his face? I do, for when I slumber peacefully, I see an earth filled with everlasting joy, But not so when I return, For no natural eyes, see in the daylight your smiling face But one of the things I will remember Is the smiling face of the moon. CHICAGO By Morris Goldberg, 105-88 l c-at my peanuts on the lake shore, The pigeons above me lightly soar, lt makes me so happy, refreshed and gay. To see my Chicago so lovely today. Its talll, straight buildings reach to the S YC The largest steamers saunter by, Its bcautlful trees and blooming flowers, The many parks and extending towers. WILL YOU TAKE A TRIP WITH ME? By Evelyn Kenner, 311-9A Will you take a trip with me? Where the great hot desert rules over all, Where the echoes of the jungles call, Where little brown children live at ease And lie lazily dreaming 'neath tall palm trees. Where all is a world of paradise Will you take a trip with me? The birds call to us from the skies Let us answer to their plea. We'll borrow Lindy's aeroplane And go flying over the serge blue main. The birds will follow after, too To cheer the way for me and you. When we hear the hungry tlger's roar As we descend from the air We'll know there's adventure in store And for each an equal share. We'll creep beneath the bushes with guns And catch the tiger: before he runs: And we'll prove to you that it is true When you see him pacing in the zoo. We'll watch the beautiful sun go down When our hunting is all done. We'll forget all our troubles and forget to frown For our sorrows will disappear with the sun. To a land of bananas and coconuts. And queer brown people in little straw huts! To an adventurous land across the sea, In dreamland hour, will you go with me? Silence, Silence Silence, Silence SILENCE By Ijllian Davison, 305 from out the deep wood, to shatter lf one could, and no sound comes to the ear, as before the word of a sere. Wherefore this quiet of the leaves? Wherefore no rustle from the corn sheaves? Wherefore the langulsh of the breeze? Wherefore the silence from the bees? Look out from the window, foolish one, See'st thou there the sun? It is even and still and dark, And night has placed her mark.

Thi' .N'im'Icr-n Tliirly-our Grmimrliim :Vnrulvrr JUNE SABINITE JUNIOR Pagezs BEING A FAN- The thing I enjoy most for recreation is being a spectator. Many people main- tain that they most enjoy playing base- ball, basketball, hockey, swimming, etc. But in most cases this is not true, Any real sport fan would enjoy watching a hockey or baseball game as much playing basketball or football. I, for one, cannot say I have any favor- itc sport for recreation although I prefer baseball to most others. A spectator gets as much out of a game as those that are playing if he is a real fan, whether he is at a basketball or baseball game. Sometimes he comes out of a doze of yelling, clapping hands or stamping feet after a homer , basket or goal and finds he is crushing somebody's hat or his own is out on the field. By doing this he is sometime called a hoodlum and idiot, but real fans know he is an honest to goodness, dyed in the wool fan, the kind that enjoys watching a game as much as if he were ln lt. Others have a different idea. They be- lieve that no sport is enjoyable for recrea- tion unless they're playing in it. But these people may not all be sport fans and in most cases they are not. Few people can claim having a favorite sport. although they seem to think they have. If you ask them they would prob- ably reply, Why baseball of course, or basketball to be sure. But when you go to a football or hockey game, there they are, rooting for the home team and yelling means of ex- termlnating the referees. These are people who enjoy being spec- tators, people who are real fans, people flbnfiniard in Column .U THE METAL SHOP The Metal shop under the supervision of Mr. R. T. Brown, in room 111, is onc of the busiest, one of the most rasping, one of the most attractive, and one of the most productive shops in our Sabin techni- cal division. The products of this place of tin and din range from articles for the school. through to the home. to the boy. After a hot and noisy process of cutting, ham- mering, heating, soldering, painting. such useful things as waste baskets, type boxes. rivet boxes emerge for the school: for the home the young metal workers turn out fancy shaped cooky cutters, whisk broom holders, dust pans, match boxes, flower boxes and various types of useful and dec- orative electrlc lamps. The metal shop does not limits its teach- ing to only the actual making of articles. but also familiarizes the boys with the reading of blue prints. By doing this the eyes and hands are trained to measure accurately. Soldering and riveting also encourages carefulness and deft use of hands. This training, however, does not neces- sarlly make them professional tlnners but gives some of the mechanical training every boy needs and enjoys. The boys enjoy especially the use of forming ma- chines, bar folders, bending brake. numer- ous stakes, square shears. and wire bead- ing and curving machines. Tile metals used in this shop are: C0111- mon tin, galvanized iron of different thick- nesses and sheet iron. The metal shop is an enjoyable and edu- cating course in the Junior High School Program. ' CLEAN-UP WEEK ASSEMBLY Irving Starr and David Rudolph pre- sented extra entertalnment with short talks telling of the need of Clean Up Week. A beautiful piano solo was played by An- geline Mucho. A trio ot' girls, Angeline Mucho, Margaret Lambrecht and Rose Pos- tell sang two clean up songs. We were treated to an address by Anthony Grabow- ski a former graduate of Sabin. He gave a benehclal Clean Up talk. Harriet Lowy recited in a very interesting way. Casmir Malinowskl announced. Mrs. McGurk who was in charge of the assembly was very much pleased with the reaction of the pupils and their conduct during the per- formance. Margaret Lambrecht, 2-4. 7B. GAS COMPANY GIVES LECTURE A member of the Chicago Gas Co. came to Sabin. April 28. and delivered an illus- trated lecture on gas and its uses. The slides showed how gas was made, what it was made of and the by-products of a ton of coal. These products were too numer- ous to be named but an idea was given ol' the many essential articles that were con- verted from a single ton of coal. Pictures were also shown of the first house which used gas, now a museum in Baltimore. Sarah Rubin. RB-P. 3. BEING A FAN-Cont. who would go the limit for the team they believe in, people who try to go to as many games as possible. These are the specta- tors who like all sports and enjoy them whether their team is in the lead or whether they're losing, they always have hopes of winning. ' Leonard Shanas, 305, SIA.

The Ninclevu Thirty-one Grndualinn Number JUNE SABINITE JUNIOR Page27 MICRO-PROJECTOR IN SCIENCE By Selmour Brownstein, Room 310-SB. The Micro-projector brings to a group of pupils the wonderland of the microscope. We have in the science department at Sabin Junior High one of these newly-in- vented instruments. The Ilrst life seen with it in our science rooms was paramecla- The paramecium is a common protozoa which is abundant in stagnant water. I cultivated some paramecia by putting some dry leaves and hay in water for three or four days. I then noticed, in the watcr. living protozoa, of which many are para. mecia. The actual size of a paramecium is 11125 inch in length. The paramecinm is a one-celled animal, and ls oval in shape. The cell is composed of contractile vacu- oles, food particles, nucleus. mouth cavity, gullet, and waste. They are so small that they will look lifeless to the human eye. T-o enlarge these paramecia we put them under a microscope. When we look through the microscope, we see little ani. mals with tiny hair like cilia. around the cell: these tiny hair like cilia enables them to swim very rapidly. We put a drop of stagnant water con- taining paramecia on a watch glass. We place this glass under the microscope and get the light of a stereoptlcan to shine on the mirror. Then we placed the screen part of the micro-projector over the microscope and the Image of the paramecium is thrown on the screen. Another way to see microscopic plants and animals is to place a microscope slide of either under the microscope: the image is then enlarged on the screen. Still another way to enlarge them is by throwing the image of the plant or animal on to a large sheet of white paper.. We also saw in our science rooms. crystals of salt and copper sulphate grow on a microscope slide. ROOM 312-Cont. ALBERT PILLIN Penny wise, pound foolish.

MUST HAVE LOST HIS UMBRELLA Dearest Annabelle, wrote Oswald who was hopelessly In love, I could swim the mighty ocean for one glance from your dear eyes. I would walk through a wall of flame for one touch of your little hands. I would leap the widest stream for a word from your lovely lips. As always, your Oswald. P.
