| May 1, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 13 'FIRST CLASS' PARTY | Teachers and Parents Aboard Good | Ship "Community" Launch Upon Sea of Frolic The "Good Time Steamship Com- pany's" liner, "Community," made her maiden voyage Wednesday, April 28, Community House. Her were all listed third class, but included the names of the Winnetka schools' faculties and the officers and chairmen of the Parent-Teacher's association. Possibly because the company's ad- vance advertising was so suggestive of a good time (here is an excerpt) "Come take a trip with me Across the stormy sea, As steerage you must go, The ticket tells you so. "Come as a Finn or Turk, Or Dago with a dirk, As Czeck or Lap or Pole; 'Strictly Immigrant' role. "The sailing date you see, The boat's Com-mun-ity, There'll be good fun and food. So come in jolly mood." possibly because the chief officers and engineers were known to be such per- fect hostesses, possibly because it was known that Mrs. Burnham was help- ing to make the vessel ship-shape and probably because of all three reasons, the steerage was filled to capacity. The passengers were held in line only a short time before being admitted to the boat, where, as they left the gang- plank, they were examined briefly by the ship's doctor. The steerage quar- ters were well-lighted and higher than usual, for everywhere could be seen the ocean's billowing waves, circling sea gulls, distant vessels and an occa- sional school of porpoises (indeed the passengers | decorations were so real that anyone | with a good immagination could have | had an attack of sea sickness.) There were just a few minutes for | the immigrants to look about and see their fellow passengers, who seemed to have come from every conceivable | corner of the earth--tall white clad ¢ | sheiks from Arabia, shy maidens from Holland or Sweden, and Hoola-hoola | girls from the islands, to Swiss moun- tain climbers, bold toreadors from Spain, and cockney Englishmen--truly [a riot of color and noise. The first call to dinner came early {and there was no need for a second. | The dinner served would have put to | shame the first class table of an ordin- | ary liner, both as to flavor and service. The passengers themselves provided the entertainment, being led by a cer- tain Italian who had a hand organ which he played unsparingly and filled in the possible gaps with his ready laugh and speech. Solo, songs and dances, group folk dances, and singing of folk songs by the entire company left no possible dull moments. After dinner the tables were cleared and removed in record time and a real American jazz orchestra took the cen- ter of the deck and held it while the immigrants circled about, gaily danc- ing the one step, fox trot, waltz, or Charleston. Never has the Winnetka faculty, as a group, spent an evening more filled with fun and good fellowship. | -------------------------------- -- Edgar Greenebaum of 141 Hawthorne avenue, Glencoe, president of the Chi- cago Mortgage Bankers' association, presided at the luncheon on Tuesday, April 27, at the University club.
