Page Twenty-eight The Nineteen Thirty-three Graduation Number SABINITE ANNUAL june, i933 CANT By Jack Heller, 106, 9A Can't! Can't! the world is weary of the word- Sounds exactly like the croak of some ill omened bird- Better far to say I can! I can - But, better still, Let a fellow face the worst and say: I will ! I will ! Can'tl Can'tl Cant! I wish we'd never hear again That distressing syllable that spoils the plans of men, Steals the courage from their hearts be- fore the fights' begun, Makes them shirk the struggle that once in, they might have won. Can't! Can't! Can't! Oh, let us drop it from our speech. 'Tis a word that put the goal, success, beyond our reach: Let no thought of failure enter in our faith to kill, Let us can this Can't and use the words, I will! I will! THE COLOR SOUL Does not the beauteous rainbow hue Thy soul with love and strength embue As out upon the cloud-mist wall The sun-rays in etfulgence fall And blend all colors in a scroll, An emblem of the color soul? Who scans a crimson sun-set sky And purple clouds that linger nigh Without inbreathing from the view Some strength to soul and body too, As something drawn from out the whole Of Nature's charming color soul? Who looks upon the sun-lit sea In all its blue-green majesty And draws not nearer to the shore To watch the waves and hear the roar, And sense the colors as they roll Upon the water's color soul? Who looks upon the springtime bloom When flowers burst from winter's tomb Or out upon the hillside green And sees not through this mortal screen The thing divine he would extol, Knows not sweet Nature's Color Soul? Margaret Lambrecht, P2, 9B . Our Leader He's always well dressed, in the best of the bestg He is prominent in all social standing. He never is frowning, always happy and cheering, He's the leader of our school and a con- stant joy To our teachers, our parents and each girl and boy. By Wanda Zydorczak, 306, 9A Goofy Verses Little Miss Murphy, Sat on some turfy Writing her works and grades. Along came a M. Goldberg And frightened Miss Murphy Marks, grades, and all away. Sadly now and with a smirk On jig-saw puzzles still I work. One day the teacher's eye I metg Two weeks suspension did I get, But I haven't solved my puzzle yet. Andy Kashevos, 104, 9A A Little Boy Wonders I wonder is the jay Proud of his merry clothes: And does his nose turn up at those Who dress in feathers gray? And does a collie smile When he looks at a cur, And thinks such fur is fit for her, But isn't much for style? Or are they kind and wise, And can they plainly see For them to be of a high degree Is nothing in one's eyes? Fred Kautz, 104, 9A I heard a robin sing this morning The breath of spring was in his throat And spring was in a trill adoring Each liquid, roundly warbled note. Fred Kautz, 104, 9A The Night Will Never Stay The night will never stay, The night will still go by, Though with a million stars You pin it to the sky. Though you bind it with the blowing wind. And buckle it with the moon, The night will slip away Like sorrow of a tune. Eileen Harris, 310, 7B The Chicago World's Fair By Ursula Kalas, P. 4, SA A hundred years ago Chicago was a great area of. land with a very small population. Today, it is a large city with a population of about four million. Chicago will celebrate its one hundredth anniversary June the first, nineteen hundred and thirty-three. We are going to have a Century of Progress exhi- bition in honor of her birthday. First you will go to the administration building. Painted on the wall vou will see a large plan of the fair grounds. The Travel and Transportation Building is very famous for its sky hung dome. It is so called because it is not supported by pillars, but is upheld by very large cables. In the summer the dome will rise a few inches higher than its usual height. This is caused by the intense heat of the sun. In the fall when the sun is not so severe, the dome will again return to its former height. A replica of old Fort Dearborn may be seen at this exhibition. Here the cabins of the pioneers are exhibited, a few news- papers and books, the blockhouses, the am- munition chamber, the doctor's office and his few tools. The Abraham Lincoln exhibition is very interesting. His birthplace and cradle in which he was born are shown here. In an- other cabin, Abraham Lincoln is lying on the floor by the fireside and writing on a shovel. All the exhibitions are very interesting. but I think the Enchanted Island will ap- peal greatly to the little folks' fancy. They will be able to spend their time playing and enjoying all the sports which are being prepared for them, while their parents are enjoying the wonderful exhibits. Attend- ants will take charge of the children while the parents are absent. Many people will have the opportunity to take an airplane ride. Sam :- Miss Sherbarth I'm sure the problem can't be solved. Sherbarth:- Why not? Sam :-- Cause I can't do it! THE SHOW OF AN AGE-THE CENTURY OF PROGRESS The World's Fair which opens May 27, 1933, in Chicago promises to be the mar- vel of the century. So many wonderful exhibits are offered that it is impossible to described all of them and give each due praiseg therefore only a few of the exhi- bitions can be mentioned. The buildings themselves are of a most unique design and workmanship. Nothing has been spared to make them as inter- esting and colorful as possible. Each is a masterpiece in itself, blending the whole into one unmistakeable dream of beauty. No windows have been built into any of the buildings, regardless of what type it may be. Instead each is provided with perfect artificial light and perfect temper- ature that never varies. At the Hall of Science we will find the transparent mang chemical reactions going on before our eyesg a model of a twig and living germs. The transparent man prom- ises to be most interesting. By touching a button it will be possible to see the whole digestive system at work. Another button will make the blood flow through the heart and the tiniest veins. Chemical reactions will be those such as simple oil changing to paint, iron becoming steel and raw sap from a tree changing to rubber. There is no question in chemistry that could not be answered graphically here. The twig which we will see is a huge thing. In seventy-five seconds it will attain s. year's growth. An- other feature will be living germs shown under a powerful microscope, showing what great damage these little microbes can do. In the Transportation building will be shown locomotives of every type, whether large or small. The Royal Scott is being brought from England especially for the fair. All types of airplanes and automo- biles will be exhibited for the admiring eyes of the public. Every step to improve trans- portation facilities during the last one hun- Qed years will be portrayed. The Electrical Group will be one of the wonder places of the fair. Every effort has been put forth to demonstrate the rapid strides taken in perfecting electricity dur- ing the last century. A dynamo, generators of a hundred thousand horse power, the story of a percolator-the entire history of each will be given there. One of the greatest features will be a radio set at work. We will actually be able to see the current moving through the tubes. Imagine seeing electrical impulses changing to beautiful sound. There will be millions of exhibits and innumerable thrills at the great World's Fair. Any person who does not take ad- vantage of this great opportunity to see the marvels that have taken place during the last century will regret it much in years to come. Margaret Lambrecht, P2, 9B. Recipe for Good Humor Take twenty-four hours: mix thoroughly with the milk of human kindness, and spice of life to suit the taste: a little discretion, some common sense: knead with the hand of friendship and bake in the open hearth of loveg do not allow it to cool too quickly by trouble, or become sour by affliction: serve with generous sauce and a bright smile.

D. I felt dazed when I awoke in my room which was in the Morrison Hotel. I re- member hearing something about a poor boy, and a truck. Well, I felt hungry so I reached for the phone. A voice came over the wire and on a screen an office girl appeared. Taking a better look at her I found her to be Wanda Skorazewska. I ordered breakfast and in a few min- utes the bell rang. In walked a clanging apparition. I almost died of fright for there was a robot and while I stared, he spoke. Here is your order, and is there anything else, sir? he asked. I managed to dismiss him and just sat and looked at ihe wall on which was a calendar. When I saw-the date I closed my eyes and mum- bled about one hundred years, bellboys, insane asylums. I looked again and there above the month was the year of 1950. hotel. Helen Ord, Anna Giza, Lottie Ste- fanski, Angeline Skolimowski, and Lillian Siegal held important jobs there. Harry Lackenback was the head chef. I bought a paper after bidding Casmir good-bye. I saw in the head lines that General Theodore Shargel of Shargolia led his Shargolian Army against Mexico. Fur- mer classmates worked there. He said Joe Barendy, who was still trying to get rid Then I went down to the lobby where I almost bumped against Julia Gabrys. I passed the clerk whose face looked familiar and in a moment I was shaking hands with Casmir Bogush from whom I learned that Jack Langer, a famous lawyer, owned the hotel. Sigmund Skolimowski was the man- ager and Henry Pietrusa had designed it. He also told me that several of our for- of his sister Marie, had an office in the ther down I noted that Andy Kashevos, the famous orator, was to speak on Why I Should Be President. Then I noticed that Marian Mizruchy, the great mathe- matician, was touring the country. In the corner was an article about Dr. Kautz, a noted doctor, whose secretary was Irene Andrews. To the right of this was an ar- ticle -concerning Prof. R. C. Hirsch who had just returned from an unsuccessful expedition torancient Rome. On the sec- ond page was a picture of Adolph Raps, the successor to Eddie Cantor. There was a picture of Margaret Schach- ter, an actress. Adolph'-Richardson had become a second Cab Calloway. Ingthe corner were pictures of Grace Podolski abd Ethel Trilling, radio artists. Walter Or- lowski, the famous violinst had given a con. cert. Near the middle of the page was an article saying that the teachers' salaries had finally been paid in full. In the hold-up of a store Elsie Alper- stein, Jennie Gawel, and Emily Foszcz were named the victims. A smaller article stated that Frank Adamowski, the former millionaire, was polishing sidewalks for Street and Walkers Cement Co. There was also an advertisement by Anton Lewan- dowski who had become a publisher. The society page told of Clarice Bradshaw and Mary Jones going to China on a trip. On the financial page I saw that Adolph Gaf- kowski, the former stock broker of 1928 B. C., fmeaning 1928 before crashj, and FAR INTO THE FUTURE OF PORTABLE 2 I hurried into the huge new building that had been erected on Old-Friend street and scurried to the elevator. As it started its swift flight upward a voice said to me: Well, don't you recognize old friends anymore? I glanced to the side and there stood my cld friend, Victoria Walczak. I stammered out my joy at seeing her and asked her what she had been doing with herself. It pleased me greatly to hear that she was running a beauty shop on the 150th floor of the building. The elevator finally stopped at the 201st fioor and I stepped out marveling over the beauty of the building which had been de- signed by Michael Skoczylos, an architect. A hostess fwhom I instantly recognized as Valeria Nauzedaj came forward to greet me. I asked her where the music was com- ing from and was delighted to hear that it was the world famous organist, Paul Nal- wika, playing for station N-E-R-T-Z. We then entered another room, where I found Genevieve Ramel taking dictation. In an ante-room Louise Schacter was typing notes. Suddenly there was a terrific noise out- side the building. Rushing to the elevator which swiftly lowered us to the ground floor, we found that an airplane had crashed to the ground. Someone told us that the nilot was Oscar Wein who had fiown the Unknown Channel. In the harbor nearby a huge boat steamed into port. The cap- tain was no other than Stanley Kuta, na- tionally known sailor. Ralph Gorzynski who had anpeard to get a story for his pa- per, the New World Lyre, rushed off to greet Stanley. fContinued in next Columnj now in the employ of the D. S. C., had just swept up on the curb I read that Harry Kanarek and Gene Zollezzi had be- come engineers. The sport news said that the Chicago Cubs had purchased pitcher, Fred Ryndac, and third baseman, Nathan Nadel. Then came the greatest surprise of all. On the editorial staff was the name of Mor- ris Goldberg. Having finished the paper I went out into the street. During the stroll I met seven other people, Alfreda Milew- ski,. Helen Romanowicz, nurses, Helen Cooper, Sylvia Maltz, Caroline Fassos, sten- ograph ers. The next thing I knew I was lying in a white room surrounded bv white robed men. One of them said, That truck cer- tainly hit your son. You've been uncon- scious for three days and for awhile we feared for your mind. I asked the date and he said, May 15, 1932. I told him it couldn't be because it was the year of 1950. He looked at me and said some- thing about there being no hope. I finally recovered, but if you find something queer about this story please overlook it for I still feel dazed after my experience. But anyway, I wonder what that doctor meant. Raymond Wassell. A PROPHECY AND A HOPE, 106 Before we left old Sabin in June, 1933, Martin Mirsky, Pearl Spiegel and I fHarry Radwinej promised to meet for luncheon on June 20, 1953, at the Palmer House in Chicago, if we were all living at that time. This solemn vow was called to my atten- tion on the 19th, when I heard newsboys screaming EXTRA, EXTRA, JACK HIRSCH COMPLETES FIRST SUCCESS- FUL ROCKET SPACE SHIP FLIGHT. The words were szarcely out of the new- sies' mouth when I heard my phone ring and saw Pearl at the other end of the line asking me about the meeting we had agreed upon some twenty years ago. On the morning of the 20th I was dread- fully busy, and imagine my surprise when my cl.ent began to talk about Broadway's new star, Phyllis Wypasek, whose dancing act is the sensation of the Gay White Way. I questioned him further and discovered that she was assisted in her act by the tal- ented Laura Makowka and Betty Lane. Well, I met Martin and Pearl, and after I had related my news, Pearl wondered if the girls remembered when they tried to learn the Box Waltz. In the course of our conversation we discussed the experiences of our former classmates, those eminent scientists, Ma- thew Dawidowicz, Richard Cosek, Pete Dounias, and David Rudak, who started out to explore the basin of the drained Dead Sea and were not heard from for three months. When they returned, they had fantastic tales to tell-civilized families living among grotesque amphibians. This story had drawn the personal attention of Sanford Lipschultz, world famous news reporter, who led a party of prominent business men to this strange spot. In this party were Bernerd Gelfond, Julius Zivin, Morris Ziegler, James Mizen, and Jerome Labovitch. Living in this far country they found Valeria Unikauskas and Larus Fried- man with their four children who, by the way, measured merely 7 ft. in height. The fond mother explained, so Julius told Pearl, that they had chosen this strange land to live in, as it was the only place where they could find rooms with high enough ceilings for their offspring. In the Friedman domicile were yards and yards of beautiful tapestry and fine fContinued on Page 311 Turning away we bumped into Dr. John Petersen, the world famous physician, who had operated on one of Chicago's wealthy merchants, Joe Tuzoff, for breathing trouble. Dr. Peterson stopped the trouble and also the breathing. On our way home, accompanied by the doctor, we purchased newspapers. Staring us in the face was a picture of Benny Perry and a long article saying he was discharged from the Sox team because he wanted to stay in the field and catch fly's ffliesj. Overcome by these unusual facts we con- tinued our homeward journey. Margaret Lambrecht Wilfred Couzin Marjorie Minnicks Ralph Gorzynski
