Page Twenty- two The Nineteen Thirty-three Graduation Number SABINI-IFE ANNUAL Iune, l933 THE CRYSTAL GAZER SEES PORTABLE FOUR IN ACTION While in the great metropolis of Beirut, Syria, during' the year 1943, Sylvan Fried- man's attention was drawn to a great crowd of Arabians who were gathered about a fursie ftent theaterl. Upon pushing his way through the crowd, he saw a beauti- ful lady, gowned in Arabian garb, gazing into a crystal. He learned from those standing near that she was world-famed for her ability to see into the future. He therefore decided to see what this exotic creature would predict for him. He strode into the fursie and seated him- self opposite her. As she raised her eyes to his, he was amazed to see his old class- mate, Bernice Heinekamo. After reminis- cing for quite a while, Bernice suggested that through the crystal thev locate their old classmates. She signaled him to silence, passed her hand over the crystal, and im- mediately things began to happen. The first one to come into view was Adam Kurzawinski, in a white apron, serv- ing huge schooners of the foaming bever- age to Mr. John Newman and Mrs. John Newman, the former Genevieve Bryzek. With them were Tony Fisher and his wife, the former Sarah Desnet. With a majestic sweep of her hand, the seeress changed the scene and they beheld Eugene Dicker and James Caragher in a beauty parlor, in the act of having Florene Kidd and Genevieve Krawzyk give them a henna rinse and marcel. Again she changed the scene, and before them they saw a huge building bearing the name of The New York Bellows . This was a daily paper, owned and edited bv Marion Landesman and Mary Ann Bell, also former members of their class. In- side the building were Angeline Maginsky and Eva Nevelskv, both reporters for the paper. They also saw Virginia Orzech and Rosetti Jandrisit, Tessie Dounias. Sophie Cuga and Sophie Drosejka, all of whom were stenograuhers working for the same paper. Far oil' in a corner, design- ing dress patterns for the paper, sat Ste- phania Liss. The next scene was a sad one. They saw Geraldine Kahn, a social worker, giv- ing help to hundreds of unemployed, among them Dorothy LeGenza. Bessie Metrakes, Evelyn Demske, Angeline Solecki, Lottie Haduch and Lottie Marzec. The following scene, also, was gloomy. It took place in a hospital. There they saw David Stalk. John Zych, Leonard Der- howski and Joe Szkola, recovering from in- juries received while riding in the aero- plane of their friend John Zelinsky, which crashed off the coast of Maine. Their in- juries were slightly relieved, however. bv having the services of four attractive nurses, namely Rita Stone, June Tefft, Ste- phanv Czerwic and Mary Puciaty. When the crystal changed again, they saw Francine Gruber and her press agent, Arthur Gross, giving dictation to steno- graphers. Rose Brown. Helen Burkrajew- ski, Emily Kulis and Ursula Kalas. The last view was of dear old Sabin. with Viola Schoenficld as a gym teacher, Ruben Glad- stein as a math teacher, and Floyd Domi- nick still attending classes one day a week. Mary Ann Bell Sylvan Friedman Arthur Gross Fat lady at a store: I'd like to see a dress that would fit me. Saleslady: So would I. Emily Foszcz. G. A. A. Thrives in First Year The G. A. A. at Sabin has been organ- ized this year to encourage participation in all sorts of athletic events, team games and outdoor sports, such as hiking, tennis, skating, golf, etc. The club offers a wide variety of events sothat every girl may find the opportunity in such activities as she enjoys or is pro- ficient in, to obtain the required number of points for a G. A. A. award. A girl who wins her 7th, 8th and 9th year bars is en- titled to a large letter S , the highest honor awarded. We are expecting to give 40 or 50 awards the end of the school year and hope to in- crease that number to 150 next year. Most junior highs and practically all of the high schools have G. A. A. organizations and the requirements are the same in all. We hope to make Sabin's club one of the finest in the city and our girls can do it! Intramural Sports The element of competition is strong among all groups, both young and old, boys or girls, men or women. For that reason competitive sports have been introduced in the girls' gym department at Sabin to en- courage friendly competition among groups of the same grades. The results in both volley ball and base- oall have been gratifying, and we feel we have developed a fine feeling of good sports- manship, cooperation and a spirit of fair play among our girls. These qualities are u much more desirable end than the per- fection of performance and next year we hope to enlarge our activities to include captain basketball. Keep up the good work, girls of Sabin, we're doing fine! Progress Progress, Education, Industry! These three in union firm at last are bound. You now behold them joined in harmony, Their long war ended in a peace profound, Where none by dissension's heat is torn And each looks nobly to the other's aid Which draws his reverence, not his scorn, In finding unlike talents like when weighed. For Industry now seeks the light By Education only to be shed, And Learning gains from Industry's clear sightg And so mankind more surely can be led Until the world to Progress is consigned In lasting brotherhood of Hand and Mind. ELEANOR M. CLARK Dayton Cooperative High School Graduates Farewell We, the June graduates of 1933, are leaving Sabin with the memory of our be- loved teachers and principal in our minds. We shall be proud to remember their sin- cere efforts to help us become good citizens. Under their guidance we have received all that we are, all that we have. We are prepared to take the next step in our education with their help and blessings. All of this is due to our daily contact with them who have set before us example after example of what a good citizen should do and be. Good-bye Mr. Moynihan and our beloved teachers. We shall not forget all that you have done for us. Your memory shall linger forever. We pass away, but we leave be- hind another class who will follow soon. Josephine Duda, 307, 9A. 2lO Varieties The pupils of Room 210 have organized a club for their home room period on Fri- day. They call it the Variety Club. Every week each row offers some enter- tainment for the class. Songs, jokes, tricks, debates, plays, etc., make up the program each Friday. We are planning a program for the last Friday of the semester. Each pupil will offer what he can to provide entertainment. An invitation will be sent to an 8B room to attend. New Teachers at Sabin Min Mulvihill Miss Mulvihill is the new teacher in 301 who teaches Latin and music. She was graduated from Northwestern University and came to Sabin after teaching at the Jungman Junior High School. She has always lived in Chicago, and in addition to teaching at Sabin she teaches at De Paul University, and is organist and choir director at the St. Bernard Church. She has charge of Sabin's Boys' Chorus which will sing at the World's Fair June 9th, at the National Education Association convention. A Challenge to the School By LEWIS E. LAWS Warden of Sing Sing Prison Education must realize its proper place in the new scheme of things. No educa- tion can be complete without adequate training for a vocation that will equip ,the boy or girl or adolescent to meet the re- quirements of the new dispensation. Many, perhaps most, of our great army of school children will be able to follow their natur- al inclinations. Circumstance, environ- ment, opportunities will play their parts in shaping their lives. But a certain group must be especially trained and guided. It is from this group who generally fall by the wayside that our behavior problems arise. It is with those that education must seriously concern itself. The scope of the school must be widened so as to teach every pupil a vocation, to train him to a specific trade or occupation commensurate with his individual and intimate abilities. -Taken from Good Housekeeping , September, 1932. Things Not Done Before The things that haven't been done before, Those are the things to try. Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore, At the rim of a far-flung sky. And his heart was bold and his faith was strong, As he ventured dangers new, And he paid no heed to the jeering throng, Or the fears of the doubting crew., The many will follow the beaten track. With guide posts along the way. They live, and have for ages back, With a chart for every day. Someone has told them it's safe to go On the road he has traveled o'er, And all that they ever strive to know Are the things that were known before. The things that haven't been done before Are the tasks worth while today. Are you one of the flock that follows? oi Are you one that shall lead the way? Are you one of the timid souls that quail At the jeers of the doubting crew? Or dare you, whether you win or fail, Strike out for the goal that's new? -Author Unknown,

lune, l933 The Nineteen Thirty-three Graduation Number SABINITE ANNUAL Page Twenty-one AN INVITATION FROM A SKELETON By Viola Schoenfeld, P. 4, 9A John Harper, an old newspaper reporter, was walking down a gloomy street in a big storm. The rain fell very hard, so hard in fact, that it forced John to seek shelter in a battered, old house nearby. The win- dows were all shattered and the door was swaying to the music of the wind. The chimney was half down which made it look very mysterious. People talked of the house as having ghosts in it because a doctor lived there a few years before and then died, leaving many skeletons of his patients. The more superstitious said that the ghosts walked around in the house at night. John thought of all these things as he went into a .room and sat on a three legged chair. Everything about the room was dusty and covered with cobwebs. He sat a while and then he happened to glance into another room and to his astonishment saw skeletons advancing toward him. He was scared and all those horrid thoughts of the people came to his mind. He began to shake and shiver. One of the skeletons came to him and said: I am a friend of George Washington and he asked me to make you one of us. This caused John to be very frightened and he began to scream. His wife heard the screaming and ran into the bedroom to find out what the matter was. He told her his dream. llli An Appreciation of Gilbert Salazar He didn't like school. He dreamed of being an air pilot and supporting his moth- er. He wrote of the thrills of flying , which he may or may not have experienced. But while he dreamed, he came to school, doing withal creditable work. He never missed a day in our own home room. He usually came early, took his seat quietly, and read from the literature book in his desk. His teacher will always remember the smile which accompanied his good morning and the gracious courtesy which never failed him in the group. Miss Irwin, Teacher, P.10 WHAT WE NEED Food for Reflection A glove for the hand of fate. A cushion for the seat of war. A sheet for the bed of a river. A ring for the finger of scorn. A link for a chain of evidence. A button for the coat of paint. Scales for the weight of years. A rung for the ladder of fame. A hinge for the gait of a horse. A sleeve for the arm of the law. An opener for the jaws of death. A feather for the wings of the wind. A tombstone for the dead of night. A shoe for the foot of a mountain. A pump for the well of knowledge. A lock for the trunk of an elephant. A blanket for the cradle of the deep. A song that will reach an ear of corn. A telescope to watch the fiight of time. A razor to shave the face of the earth. A key to the lock of the door of success. A pair of glasses for the eyes of the law. A thermometer to measure the heat of an argument. Walter P. Hyss, 211, 9A ' Cbtvoics or ' emu-our Orlgrm-Testories, Articles , Y 35-4 Booklkviews Sf Comments . S 1 P E I I One day I decided to go to Sabin and have an interview with Pete, the fellow who picks up the scraps of paper that you and you and you leave lying on the floor, the man who keeps your room spic and span, locks the doors, watches the furnace and does the hundred and one odd things about Sabin that you or I don't notice.. Being a Schley student, and never hav- ing seen Pete , and not knowing in what room he would most likely be, I found it wasn't exactly an easy undertaking to rec- ognize him. But such are the hardships of being a journalist, and all geniusses ldidja hear that, Miss Broderick'!D are handicapped at the start. So, dragging along my faithful ally, Orene Scott, we scurried off to Sabin City. The dear old place with its portables dependently clinging around it, sure l0oked grand to a certain pair of Homesick females. Cautiously we walked into Sabin City, expecting to be kicked out every minute. And our expectations were not entirely wrong. A teacher did approach us and show us the exit, but upon being informed that I was a reporter, she let us pass. After vainly searching through Sabin's corridors we spied Irving Roth. flncident- ally, that lad claims to be the personal friend of every important person, livingj. With the aid of this young cavalier we soon located Pete. Are you Pete? I asked nervously. Yeah, he answered, That's me. I'd like to have an interview with you, Oh, sure! Now! he replied, If you will come into Portable Two with me, I'll tell you all I can. Thanks, I sighed gratefully. Pete's full name is Peter Brendt and he has lived in Chicago all his life, which is a period of forty-seven years. He has been at Sabin for the last five of them, and does he like Sabin????'! Have you noticed any changes going on during the five years you've been at Sabin? I inquired. Well, he answered, Sabin's students seem to be getting shorter every year. The boys and girls were all so tall about four or five years ago, and now they've gotten so little. Incidentally he added that the pupils are better behaved now than they were a few years ago. We had some pretty tough boys four or five years ago, he said. A few years ago Pete was transferred to Senn High School. He held a fine position there for a few months, but he missed Sabin, and he was mighty glad when Mr. Carlson, its engineer, sent for him to return. Pete has been married for twenty-three years and has six children, two boys and four girls. One of his daughters attended Sabin several years ago. I'm a grandpa, Pete told me proudly. You are! Oh, how nice, I answered, enthusiastically. How many grandchil- dren have you? One, he replied. Pete was a cement paver with the Smith Construction Company before coming to Sabin.

Miss Wales Gives Pins for Library Service Library honors, represented by silver pins, have been offered by the librarian for two semesters of continuous and satisfac- tory service on the library staff. The pins will be presented, upon gradu- ation, to the following members of Room 211, by Miss Il. B. Wales, Librarian: Ruth Brown, Ruth Dabbert, Wanda Du- browski, Walter Hyss, Jack Jacobson, La- rissa Kostenko, Zelda Palmer, Elaine Rudy, Regina Tkocz, Pearl Welkovitz. ,-l.- ,l- KEY HOLE A certain boy of 211 has certainly been going for E. R. in a big way. I may be wrong, but- I vas dere. Our Asst. Editor CK. LJ and Irving H. are going completely cookoo over QM. CJ of 307. May the best man win. Sanford Lipschultz, editor of the Sabin- ite, annexed a new nick which is Cookie. What boy of 307 answered instead of a girl when her name was called. Boy! was his face red. It has been seen that Leon P. has started to carry books home for QL. CJ of 301. Better watch out Leon there may be com- petition. Was a boy's face red when he threw a girls hat away and it dropped in Mr. Eul- enberg's face. GETTING OUT YOUR PAPER Getting out a paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks think we are silly. If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. If we publish things from other papers, we are too lazy to write. If we don't print contributions, we don't show proper ap- preciation. If we do print them the paper is filled with junk. Like as not some fellows will say we swiped this from some other paper. So we did. Irving Hertzberg, 307 TWO GIRLS WIN GOLD TYPING AWARDS Ten Win Silver The students of typewriting in both Miss Weir's and Miss Sinnott's classes have worked diligently during this semester to obtain Typewriting Award Pins: For a silver pin the student is required to type a score of 45 words a minute, typ- ing 10 minutes with errors limited to 5.

We, the class of '33, have watched with envy the preceding graduation classes and have wished that we could graduate, and finally the time has come now for us to leave Sabin. What memories do we leave behind us? We leave behind memories of both painful and delightful hours of study, of teachers whom we respected and admired and of teachers whom we feared and last, but not least, of companions who have made our stay a delightful one. What is the outlook for us? True, it is very' icloudy, but we must look at it from an optimistic point of view. We are the youth of today, the builders of tomorrow, and must do all we can to prepare today to be able to build for tomorrow. We leave now with every hope and ambition waiting to be fulfilled. From Sabin we will go to high school, there to spend 3 years in increasing our knowledge of the world. From there, some of us will go to college, some of us will go to work, and others may have to walk the streets. C'Continued in column 21 Century of Progress Exposition The Century of Progress Exposition is about to open. It will disclose the wonders that science and industry have perfected to date, and indicate the marvels that are in store for the future. One hundred years is only a short span in the history of civilization. Many peo- ple will visit the fair whose parents saw the beginning of the century, and a great many more whose grandparents were tak- ing an active part in affairs of that time. This century has been fuller of inventions and developments than all the rest of the centuries that preceded it. This is partic- ularly true of the last twenty-tive years. More comforts, conveniences, and advan- tages have been made available than our forefathers ever dreamed of. In fact we have largely lost the capacity of astonish- ment, like the Duchess in Alice in Wonderland. Mr. Boehm's Assembly An assembly was given by Mr. Boehm, Tuesday, May 9. It was for the benefit of the children that did not know about arti- ficial respiration. Mr. Boehm claims that there will be an extra long summer vaca- tion and that knowledge of the artificial respiration may come in handy.

The marriage took place at the home of Miss Levinson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Levinson, with only the immediate family present, and was followed by an informal dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Presltill spent their honey- moon at Atlantic City and New York. Sabin is sorry to lose the popular Miss Lev- inson but was glad to regain her as Mrs. Preskill.

In the play Speedy Marshall, just out of college, with high-powered cars and air- planes to play with, while evading a traflic cop gets himself interned in an asylum for mild .mental cases, and his father decides to let him stay there to be cured of his speed mama.. He meets there the beautiful Lois Meredith whom he has tagged all over over Europe, and also a group of society girls rehearsing a play for the inmates-in fact, the place is gay with social butterflies. Then events take a most unexpected turn -Speedy turns them-and exciting action follows fast and furious. We mention only 1 thrilling jewel robbery and a kidnapping.
