june, i933 The Nineteen Thirty-three Graduation Number SABINITE ANNUAL Page Thirty-five DISHING THE DIRT FOR 306-105 By Ella Mae Jones The handsome Romeo, Walter Bednarz, has just become engaged to the society deb, Blanche Schor. Miss Schor, you recall, made her debut at the Ritzmore, the fa- mous hostelry owned by the equally famous Misses Kirsch and Schneider fEthel and Annette to yousel. Mary Pels has received her diploma from Normal College. It won't do her any good because she has eyes and ears only for Robert Daehler. That tall hero, Louis Chezewski, who starred on the Yale football team has re- turned from his vacation to finish his sen- ior year. It is rumored that he has been whispering sweet little nothings in the pink ear of Michalina Elash. Henry Sarnowitz, Henry Frietag, Ray- mond Rieck and Alexander Goldfisher have become prominent members of our great American Institute, Sing Sing. Naughty! Naughty! Mustn't play with other people's money. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Herdzina fWanda Zydorczak, that 1945 Olympic champj are going on their second honeymoon. Mr. Herdzina is in the art business with Roman Tomaszewski, who recently wedded Nora Schwed, his model. Emil Gadowsky and Teddy Makowan have agreed to disagree, so they left their slot machine business fiat. The world's greatest criminal defense lawyers, Gertrude Freeman and Evelyn Arkove, lost a case to Leon Perlmutter and Jennie Mostykowska, cooperative District Attorneys. They were defending Chester iBig Bossi Michalowski and two of his associates, Bill Lantz and Casimir Kali- nowski for eliminating Michael Tymuz for squealing. Roman Buola has gone into the fruit business. His favorite fruit is a peach. fJeanette Adamowskij. Mme. Lucy Rozewski, the designer of beautiful gowns, is said to have gone into bankruptcy. But you know how people can talk.

Off we glided to Jupiter. Why, a base- ball game was going onl Elizabeth Krebs was pitching, Victoria Danelick catching, and Grace Dingillo was at first baseg she tosses the ball, Leonore catches it,-why, it isn't a ball, it is a planetoid! As we didn't wish to interrupt their ex- citing game, we swiftly descended to Mars, expecting to see a battle there and we were not disappointed, for there was Ber- nice Rozner all dressed in helmet and shield, fighting Esther Jacobs, with Anne Novak and Lillian Shiffrin acting as refer- ees. Eva Sherman and Edythe Kutchinsky were out-talking each other. I was sure Eva would win. When we finally reached Uranus, whom should we see but lonesome Mrs. Wilmes looking around her as if she were lost. If she had only known years ago, what future mischief she was getting her girls into by arousing their curiosity in scientific phe- nomena, she might have arranged surface ears to run from planet to planet, so that they could visit each other without being blown from the mouths of cannon. Helen Krzanowski EINSTEIN? WHO'S HE? Clear a space in the Hall of Fame . . . shine up a couple of gold medals . . . dust off the laurel wreath . . . tell the General to fire a salute to Sabin's Room 306 We haven't yet acquired quite as many decorations as Colonel Lindbergh, but you'l1 have to admit that we've made a good start. For although our clam numbers only twenty-two, we shall lay claim, on gradua- tion day, to eighteen of the pins awarded for honors of various sorts. Heading the list of notables is our Jennie Mostykowska, who has the highest average of any graduate in the June 1933 class. She will be awarded a gold key for five semesters' membership in the Honor So- ciety. Gertrude Freeman and Wanda Zydor- sczak will receive gold pins for three and four semesters of membership respectively in the Honor Society: Michalina Elash and Evelyn Arkove get silver pins for one se- mester's membership in the Honor Society. Wanda, who already has more pins than a pincushion, is also about to add to her col- lection a gold pin celebrating her superior speed and accuracy in typing. Not to be outdone, Jean Adamowske, Evelyn Arkove, and Ethel Kirsch will re- ceive a silver pin in typewriting. We are so accustomed to honors and awards of merit in 306 that we are not even going to bother mentioning the names of the ten girls who have been recommended by Miss Wales for silver pins in library serv- ice. Nor do we intend to take up more of our reader's time with praises of our Ella Mae Jones, whose splendid acting you ap- plauded in the Sabin Minstrels of 1933 and in Who Wouldn't Be Crazy? Then there are the girls who starred in baseball and volleyball not to mention- but say, we could go on like this for another hour. We're good, we are. If you don't believe it, ask Miss Roehl, our home room teacher. 306- l05-Continued rietta Steinke and Lucille Klopotic.

Jimmie Maropoulas fThat man Jamesj has just socked Dorothy Silberberg cross- eyed. Jimmie, you recall, has replaced Clark Gable in the cinema world. Dorothy is his leading lady in reel life and real life. Edward Mix and Irving Klein, private detectives, are piling up millions looking for Gracie Allen's brother. Yeah, he's still lost. Sabin's own gal, Stephanie Szymanowski and Steve Polak got hitched this morning. When interviewing Mrs. Polak fif you pleasej she said she was the happiest girl in the world. Our American business man, Peter Michael, and his efficient secretary, Char- lotte Bademian, have gone into business- well, that's their business. Virginia Jazwiec has returned from Eu- rope with her financee, Fred Bura. Mr. Bura was in Vienna studying medicine- and Virginia. Henrietta Novak has just told Maurice Lawrence that she was free, white and twenty-one and gave him back his ring. So that's why Maurice was looking like a sick bloodhound. SABINVILLE BEQUESTS JUNE, 1933 Now, listen dear schoolmates, and you shall all hear What to do with our treasures when we dis- appear, For surely, ere now, most all of you know That soon to Big Tuley we'e planning to go. To calm Mr. Moynihan, head of our school, And lloving Miss Taylor, who enforces each ru e, We leave model students who always obey, And try mighty hard to please, day by day. To tiny Miss Cummings, so small and so sweet, We leave a step ladder to raise her three feet, That over the heads of the students most tall She can see and can talk without reaching at all. To dear Mrs. Wilmes, in Three Hundred One, We will other gym groups just chuckful of fun, Small groups to come promptly to order when told With no more than forty-eight members en- rolled. We have left Mr. Fisher a group that will work, An artistic young bunch that never will shirk But splash on its rhythm without ever a stop, Until it's so brilliant it ranks at the top. For Monsieur Jacques LaForge in Three 0 Three A class speaking French far better than we, Knowing how to decline every nown and each verb. But whose gab and disorder may always be heard. To patient Miss Larson we wish to be- queath A class that's on top and never beneath, A group that on fractions and formulae dotes And factors the hardest equations she quotes. To 'cute Mrs. Mayer, of etiquette fame, We leave a fine club to honor her name, Who'll always remember when serving a guest Just what to do, and why it is best. There's Miss Marie Sullivan in Three Hun- dred Four, The one who likes clippings and pictures galore, With radio, wireless and what-not to scour, We leave her to follow the News of the Hour. For jolly Miss Lee, so sweet and so small, Experimenter, scientist, friend of us all, We leave jig-saws, and checkers, and chess, and all that, Tall boys, and small boys, and thin boys and fat. Good-will and good government, both of renown, We leave to the coming 9A's of our town, That all our ideals may be carried on still, To keep up the standard of Fair Sabinville. Sabinville Graduates

Orene Scott, Helen Kocoshis, A PAGE FROM 201 IN 1944 Miss Jane Sobolewski, the star reporter of the Municipal Journal, entered the Sher- win Arms, the largest and the most beau- tiful hotel in New York, to attend a ban- quet in her honor. Walking down the lobby she passed the hotel clerk, Helen Sowinski. Jane conversed with this worn out clerk and then hurried along to the reception. She is greeted by many of her new friends. There were speeches, and a program which was arranged by Irene and Adeline Wilk, and Mabel Zuwala, all of Jane's school- mates and Mrs. by now, interested in club work. Miss Lottie Sara, with her gorgeous and graceful figure, the most popular dancer, was the opener. Next was Miss Jennie Skotnicki, the new Sophie Tucker . She sang a few numbers and received hearty applause. There were other numbers which did not include Jane's schoolmates. Among the waitresses serving the din- ner was Helen Toton all dressed in a white uniform. As the guests were eating they were entertained by an orchestra under the direction of Miss Lottie Sroka, the only feminine director giving Ben Bernie com- petition. lYowsahl. The following week Jane received a tele- gram to report immediately at Hollywood about the next new picture. As she rushed through the train, her purse slipped from under her arm and was picked up by a stout and dignified society woman known as Madame Francoise Danowitz, who was accompanied by her secretary, Stelle Krzysko, and her maid, Marie Cebulski. After this renewal of old friendship Jane chose a magazine to read but was startled by a shriek from the other end of the car. Rushing quickly she discovered a woman had fainted. Upon reviving her she found her to be the famous actress, Irene Dasz- kiewicz, on her way to Hollywood. In the crowd that assembled she was surprised to meet the well known swimmer, Lottie Malo- ziec, accompanied by the recognized ath- lete, Josephine Lisowski. At her destination Jane was greeted by Stella Dziglewicz, Eugenia Kornekiewicz, Mary Kozik, and Bernice Jakubek, who are now competent studio stenographers. Her friends took her to a Cafe The Brown Derby and here they ate and watched the wonderful performances. There were beau- tiful chorus girls, Anne Moskovitz, Della Papish, Lucille Pruss and Josephine Rzep- ka, who danced to the music of Irene Bugaj, the composer. The program in- cluded a vocal solo by Anne Roth. Jean Ingram, the nimble tap dancer also per- formed. The program closed by the great pianist, Cecilia Kozak. The two famous beauty contestants from Florida, Bernice Barnes and Irene Koziol, were also present and were greeted by many of their old friends. 210 SABINVILLE-Continued All those not wishing to pass through the stratosphere may stop at the Mary Sei- bel Tearoom. Famous people who have stopped at this tearoom are: Genevieve Bur- lak, Marathon Waltzer, Helen Sliwinski, Queen of the Fairg Emily Barnas, the in- ventor of the Peanut Stretcher, and Steph- anie Zmuda, the Inventor of Rubber Limbs for Acrobatic Stage Stunts. The tearoom hostesses are Olga Krysuik and Helga Christensen. This is station B. U. N. K. signing off. Florence Kleefeld Irene Stepnik Marion Wozney STAR-GAZING WITH ROOM 301, SABINVILLE Boom! What was that? A cannon shot, and the first thing I knew I was shot into the air and swiftly hurled through space. Suddenly I discovered that I was in a rock- ctship. Rebecca Schwatz was beside me. She had all her chemicals and instruments. as well as the two renowned doctor, Ade- line Drotz and Lillian Szlachetka. Margaet Harper, at the stick, was driving us forward with a terrific speed. We trav- elled swiftly through space, seeing nothing to indicate where we were going, when suddenly our attention was attracted by s very bright light. At first we thought it was a strong designator, frightening us al- most out of our wits. The great scientist, Rebecca, informed us that this was Venus, and so we landed. Look! said she, isn't that Florence Pokrass, our former class artist? Where did all those beauties come from? Why, it's Thelma Anderson, Katherine Krech- kowsky, and Marian Hoff, and how graceful they look! We couldn't stop here long enough as we had other planets to visit. Our next stop was Neptune. See those lovely mermaidsf' shouted Becky, there's Bernice Fine playing with Sophie Constance. Ruth Silverman is call- ing for help, drowning as usual, and there froes Alice Ruzin, the brave heroine, after her. Antoinette Kurczap, Juliet Katz, and Ruth Tokarsky seem to be amused by our Gracie Allen lSallv Goodmanl who is still at her old tricks. Now who would expect all our dark- haired girls to develop tales and become beautiful mermaids? Saturn was next on the list, and we were eager to reach it, as we had all wanted to lznow what made the ring around it. We were delighted to find all our lovely fair- haired girls, Fannie Gottschalk, Leonore Dickson, Anna Rosko, Esther Silver, Jean- nette Samuels, Pearl Benjamin, Josephine Smolak, Irene Jagiello, Josephine Kosick, Joane Olender, Estelle Sobuta, and Leona Green holding hands and forming the circle while the girls sang The Farmer in the Dell. Our pilot guided us to Mercury. Here we sighted Emily Dorociak, Gertrude Tauf, Edith Katz, Rose Mrozek. Roselle Strotsky, and Margaret Neuman, still studying. With their intellectual minds we knew they would 4Continued on Page 361 201 PROPHECY-Continued The following week Jane buckled down to real hard work in the studio for the newspaper. As she entered the studio Ann Harris was singing to her lover, Mickey Mouse, in the new field entitled Lover. Phyllis Gold and Sarah Green were stroll- ing around the studio dressed in Marlene Dietrich outfits with their forever happy smiles. Upon entering the office in the studio Jane spied Helen Pencak banging away on a typewriter and Bernice Perl answering the telephone. When Jane left the studio for lunch she passed the room where the extras were waiting for their chance. Among them were Stella Frankiewicz, Genevieve Cyg- nar, Helen Ksiazek. Stelle Ksiazek, and Jane Ciruysek. And so ends a chapter in the life of our busy reporter, Jane Sobo- lewski. Bernice Barnes Irene Bugaj Cecelia Kozak Irene Koziol Sidney Greisman.

REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURES lContinuedl to complete and efficient use of space avail- able. This statement is not true. Each semes- ter since 1924 the Bureau of Research and Building Survey in the oliice of the Super- intendent of Schools has prepared a short- age and surplus report listing every ele- mentary school building in the city with the following data regarding it: the pupil capacity: the number of divisions of pu- pilsg the number of vacant roomsg location of these vacant rooms in the building: the amount of seat shortage: how this shortage is taken care of, e.g., by portables by half- day sessions, double sessions, rotary divi- sions, or use of basement roomsg the num- ber of portables, and the pupil membership -separately, in kindergarten, grades 1 to 6, grades 7 and 8, and total. Similar semi- annual reports have been prepared for the junior and senior high schools. In addition the Bureau of Research and Building Sur- vey has on tile data regarding every room of every building in the city-its size, its shape, its location and its use. The exact location of every building is given in the directory. During the survey of the Chicago schools by the Columbia University staif, Dr. George D. Strayer stated that in more than fifty surveys conducted by him, he had never found a bureau from which he could obtain such complete data as at the Bureau of Research and Building Survey in the Superintendent's ofiice. Furthermore, on p. 7 of Vol. IV., of the Columbia University Survey Report, Dr. Strayer states that the work of the Bureau of Research and Build- ing Survey is in line with best thought and practice. Statement No. 2 With an increase of about 60,000 pu- pill faince 1925J there was provided an in- crease in seating capacity of 105,820 seats. This is true but misleading, for it is not the whole truth. In February, 1925, there was an accumulated shortage of 61,248 seats in the elementary schools alone- due to the fact that there had been very little school building construction during or following the World War, although the enrollment had increased by leaps and bounds. The 61,248 accumulated shortage, plus the 60.000 increase in pupils, make a total of 121,248 seats needed: only 105,820 seats were built. Furthermore, these 105,- 820 new seats are not a net increase. be- cause nineteen elementary school buildings and branches with 10,272 seats, have been abandoned since 1925. Statement No. 3 The new Lane technical high school huicling is a typical example of waste and extravagancef' lt is said fl, that the cost of construction is shocking-81,100 per pu. pil and f2l that school building costs in other cities range from a minimum of S250 per seat to a maximum of S400 per seat. The educational staff deplore the cost of the new Lane, but although the Superin- tendent's staff has no control over the con- tracts there are a number of factors aifect- ing this cost which should be generally known. First, the present Chicago Building Code governing school building construction is the most rigid in the country. Newer meth- ods and materials introduced in recent years have reduced building cost in other cities but are still not permitted under the provisions of our code. However, when we read of the dstruction of the school build- ings in southern California due to the re- cent earthquake we can readily appreciate February 7. Schools closed because of blizzard. 11.

For example, Los Angeles has been known as a city where the cost of school buildings has been exceedingly cheap, as low as 22c per cubic foot. Since the earthquake seven of the Los Angeles school buildings were ordered wrecked as a men- the Engineering News 1933, reports that 85 Long Beach valued at were estimated to be Chicago fire and panic 27. ace to pupils, and Record of March, school buildings in about 350,000,000 75'k damaged. In are our hazards. Second, contracts for the New Lane were let during the period of prosperity when materials and labor were at the highest peak ever attained. Union labor has been employed exclusively in the erection of Chi- cago school buildings. Even so, the best estimate of the final cost of the new Lane will be 31,050 not 51,100 per pupil. Al- though the rated pupil capacity of the new Lane is 6,191 the building will house in ex- cess of 8,000 pupils from the day it is opened for occupancy. On the basis of 8,000 pupils the construction cost is S812 per pupil. Third, Lane is a special technical school for boys, and the large amount of shop work requires special building facilities fContinued on Page 371
