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

Iunc, 1933 The Nineteen Thirty-three Graduation Number SABINITE ANNUAL Page Thirty-one PROPH ECY 106-Continued sewing in abundance. James and Morris couldn't picture Mrs. Valeria resorting to such handiwork in her spare time, but she told them that Susie Cichonski and Kath- erine Horin who had come to this queer spot after Reno-vating, were the artists who did this fine work for her in the in- tervals between rantings about their ex- husbands and husbands in general. Our reminiscing took us back to the days when these headlines greeted the general public: WORLD NOW FREE OF NAR- COTICS. Capt. Herman Schneiderman, chief U. S. A. Narcotic Inspector, and Lieutenants Klugman, Abe and William had routed the last gang of dope smugglers. Those two scientific groups which start- ed to make the world safer from disease came up for discussion. The one led by Harry Radwine, head of the Councils of Medical Societies, and his colleagues, Rob- ert Nerlove and Jack Sacks. had succeeded in finding and isolating the cold germ. Thereupon these gentlemen had concocted an antiseptic, the most eflicient known to man, which they had named BARKO. The other group, headed by the prominent phy- sician and surgeon, Martin Mirsky, with the able assistance of Jack Heller and Theodore Werkow, had found a new cure for hydrophobia, thus making the world safe from rabies. Again, we were reminded of that glori- ous day when our Sam Victor was made President of the Amalgamated Soap-box Orators. He rode to victory on the slogan: BIGGER AND BETTER SOAP BOXES. Harold Neuhauser, the new manager of the 1953' Champion Cubs, received a salvo of praise from our party. Captain Paul Bahry, the dazzling red-head, and these six players have been chosen for the all star team: Nathan Arkes, Martin Sarley, Wal- ter Szymanski, Adolph Civinskas, Edwin Kulesza, and Sam Strauss. Sam Leif, who acquired the title of Clarence Darrow II by winning a case from the world-famous state's attorney, David Pickovitz, was crowned with laurels anew at our gathering. We lauded to the skies the new mayor, John Pickett, who had rid the city of all rackets and racketeers. His appointment of such energetic and public-spirited citi- zens as Mamie Gawaluch, Bernice Boch- nik, June Pederson, Joanne Lesinski, and Anne Gavin to trusteeships on the School Board had resulted in such prosperity for the school teachers that a payless payday was now only an item in history and as a result the carefree teachers were giving such an impetus to education that Chicago schools were leading the world. Jack fFrankensteinj Steinberg has done Boris Karloff out of a job. Jack Packer is head of the boy Scouts of America. Pearl Spiegel is head of the Latin De- partment of the University of Chicago. Marion Pabs is president of The Con- tinental National Bank and Trust Co. In conclusion, we, the Class Prophets of 106, though we have written and ridiculed, wish you to know that we are sincere in hoping that all of you attain the peaks of which you dream. Signed. Martin Mirsky Pearl Spiegel Harry Radwine A SCENE FROM T1-1E FIRE- iKindled by 3111 One winter night, By the fireside brightg From the shifting scenes of the printed bookg To the dancing flames my eyes betook There appeared an imp that said to me, Which of all visions would you like to see? Quickly I made this reply: Some friends of my school years long passed by. And quick as a wink of a bygone year Stood Isadore and John our future cash- iers. They are industrious, sober and gained a reputation, Making fifty thousand on a wheat specu- lation, I wish I could warn them to stop playing this ame . g , For on the next speculation, they may lose their fame. I see Lillian Becker, a maiden so fair, One with elaborate, beautiful hair. Jordis Bjorna in society, wears beautiful gowns: A more charming hostess upon man ne'er frowns. I gazed upon the Charlottes, The sparkling flames glowed: On them was the gift of loving bestowed. Helen and Wanda's voices the nicest e'er heard, - I could hear them trill and sing like birds. Broniewicz was there with a grin A fincifbusiness man with a beard on his c m. Zeidenstein, that glorious leader, Became a great and efficient bookkeeper: And now he's out for the presidency with sword and lance, Even Chester hasn't a chance. Margaret, Adela, and Angeline are house- wives beamingg Around their hearths are children gleaming. Richard Brooks, a policeman bold, Following in the footsteps of his fore- fathers in the days of old. Sam Davis the best by far, In the Symphony Orchestra where he is playing, While above him Jennie is swaying. Ocweija and Peicut, they have good trades, Owning a factory where toys are made. Mary E. Hanlev, now in Paris, Receives the license of an author and heiress. Miss Boyle who wrote the Dumb Scholar Sold it to the movies for many a dollar. Mary Baron, at the west coast With Hymen in business, a very good host. Harry Spunder, busy through the day, Covering people's faces with clay. Ida Savitz teaching in Sabin Jr. High School, Her pupils must follow the golden rule: If not when marking day is here, Low marks on report cards will appear. And now it is Herbert's face on which I gaze, The people around him are giving him praise, He has just returned from a southern ex- pedition, To cease child labor he has filed a petition. I see Letty Rivera and I declare A birthday party she is going to prepare. Scall and Dorner like pal and brother: They have come to serve here. From Wilma and Sabima she received a lavelier. Among them all is jolly Kohn A fine C. P. A. to all is known. Emily and Francis who sat together, Combine their thoughts, they are also here. 1 Naomie Klaus sits needle in hand, CLASS PROPHECY OF 307 A lourney Around the World in 1945 On hearing that one of my former class- mates, Melvin Stein, M. D., lived in New York, I decided to visit him. When I ar- rived at his home the master of the house opened the door and invited me in. He told me that he was going on a world tour and wanted me to go along. I readily ac- cepted. A week later we boarded the US. S. Sap bound for England. After the baggage had been taken care of we went for a stroll around the deck. Who should we meet but Ezra Cuny, the noted electrical engineer. In the evening we went down to the ship's ballroom. There we saw Shirley Maizel, Zeb Weslowski and Hy -- Bitt - playing in the band. When we arrived in jolly old England we went to see Leo Tunkis, the United States Ambassador to England. He took us to the flying field to see the United States air squadron set back for America after a trans-Atlantic flight. We learned that Philip Podrovsky was their captain and that Frank Kolofl' and Michael Chu- binsky were also in the squadron. Also on the field were Florence Kramen, Anna Po- paeko and Beatrice Scheffler who were re- porters for the London Read 'Em and Weep. Leo Gluza was also there trying to draw some cartoons for the same paper. We then crossed to France and Melvin Ste-in's wife, Frances Jermol, went directly to Mme. Paterson's famous beauty parlor. We learned that some of our classmates worked in the famous Wall Street of France so we decided to visit them. As we en- tered a building we saw Mary Melnick, who was an executive secretary there. We also saw some of the other secretaries who were none other than Mary Crouse, Bettv Brown, Sophie Brenko, Marion Rohr and Dorothy Gilman. We took all the secreta- ries to lunch and after lunch Melvin Stein got kindhearted and took all the girls to Madam Bresemann's dress shop. I then decided to finish the trip around the world by mvself. My next stop was Italy. I found Morton Jenkins and Edwin Leszczynski, who had combined forces in trying to straighten the tower of Pisa. Then I went to Rome and found Bernard Black trying to build a railroad over all the seven hills of Rome. Then, wandering into Spain, I found in a certain wine factory, two accountees who were arguing over something, one was talking verv loudly and as I came closer I noticed that it was Sam Cooper trying fContinued on Page 321 A more womanly woman there's none in the land. Earl from a student wild Became a husband meek and mild. ' In Laura great changes the years have wrought. In school as a nurse a way she has fought. Anna Beinick I spy at a glance, She is getting ofl' the boat from France. Ann Marek in sweet maturities' bloom Her bountiless good nature lights up the room. Marriane Linczyk in Hollywood, As an actress she is making good. And Mary Sidor an athlete great, Her records surely are hard to break. Stanley Swieka, a seaman bold . None lpif them seem to have grown a bit o . These faces took me back to the days when Lo! I chanced to look again- The embers had died, the vision had fled: And sadly I took myself to bed.
