career, GRADUATION DAY, which comes early in the month of Iune. After that, it is Farewell to Brandeis. We sincerely hope and pray that our class will be the last War Class to graduate from the Brandeis Vocational High School. In closing, therefore, your Historian wishes to submit these thoughts as being worthy of consideration: Unless within our hearts we hold abiding peace, No League of Nations can succeed, nor will strife cease, If we ourselves see every fault in kin and friend, The world may never see the day when war will end. Let us profit by these warnings, and resolve that, so far as in us lies, the Class of '45 will work for Peace. IAMES TACCINI. Class Historian 4 4 4 AVE ET VALE QHai1 and Farewelll COMMENCEMENT - BRANDEIS - 1945 You have come to a stop, on the long-sought top Of the hill that has marked your climb From the plains below, when you saw the glow Of its mystic light sublime. You breasted the hill with a mighty will, To bathe in its summit light, And there you find, tho it seems unkind - The gate to another night. From here you start, with a burdened heart, Each on his road alone, And it's Life's decree, that where'er you be, You shall never meet as one. So each hand clasp with a firmer grasp, Gaze deeply into each heart. Bind firm each tie with a friendly eye, As the moment comes to part. For some to the war will drift afar, While some to the ploughshare bend, And some, more slow, shall nowhere go, But Wait for the journey's end. But whether away or at home you stay, Watching the Time-clock run, Whatever you do, this fact is true - You never shall meet as one! So each hand clasp with a firmer grasp, Then, though the world away You travel far, no hand can mar The friendships born today. Bind firm each tie with a friendly eye, Then staunchly as when begun, Its spirit bright, in Memories' light Will forever join you as one. - I AMES P.

l3Zf3'P'PIPWPLLIMP' I ROLL CALL Let's have a get-together before we face the weather: Let's range ourselves in joy around the hall: Get out the old CORNETTA, for pleasing operetta, While PHILIPS tries to RENDA song for all. Be sure to bring a candle, a BEM-IS hard to handle, The old PORCCHDELLO must be lighted-well. Our GIACALONELL shower about our pleasant bower, Its rich perfume might break our parting spell. Some girls there'll be for dancing, to make the night entrancing So PAT-UR-ELLI, May, or Ioan invite: You CHIULLI wouldn't miss it, this last and charming visit, Let no DOM-BROWSKI fail to dance tonight. So dig into the OL-SZAK, and clear the heavy coatrack, Let no one come with any BRAD-Y soiled, Nor make the ruby WIENCEK5 our DALEY joy may end quickg The GRIM-AL-DI tcon'sl sad when wine is spoiled. Don't call our COVIELLO, a very charming fellow, lust because he ZAD-EH couldn't come. I-Ie's climbing MONTEVANO, for he can SAVIANOQ The joys he'll miss, but still he isn't dumb. So, let us get together, before we face the weather, If you I-ICWJIDZIE-WICZ about you you'll be ing As one we'll ne'er meet ever: the parting is forever, And who can RO-NAN, he must sink or swim. Let's make SICILIANO, for all the trip is WORTH, That's where the sun sends forth a pleasant RAY. Perhaps we'll stop for COFFEY, beside some humble Perhaps some one will CARTH-AS on our way. We'll look for old MCLARTY, a VASEL to our arms, Afighting on the FUR-DECK of some ship, A'chewing strong SALAMI thro'out the high alarmsg Or hold a tasty UBERGERH on his lip. We'll hear our SERRA sing for us the LUCIA - No! No! For he is quickly turning AL-BANESE: But let us ask the CAPPELLO to quickly come up, so The cook shall feed us nothing that is greasy. So go now and COL-ANGELO to start us on our way. Let LAURE-TA-NO foolish things along: And may our joy TO-DIS-CO on forever and a day. While MUZZI seeks the Muses for a song. Turn out the organ-grinder, unloose the anchor's BINDER, You know that we must soon be on our way. Break out the sail that holds usp that to the land now folds us. WAT-KIN we do when we must sail away? hearth: P. S. Two names, I find, are missingg but silence, please, no hissing, The error is all mine to take the blame, Down low I bend my browski, for leaving out OSTROWSKI, Perhaps, some day, his name will blaze with fame. And then there's friend TACCINI, who never was a meany, He, too, will climb to heights with passing time. Yet, here's a gift I crave for, will someone grant the favor? Please try to make these names fit in a rhyme!
