n, '6 Rn., MINTON B. EVANS San Rafael, Calif. California lBerkeleyl, B.S. Beyond but including medicine is the problem of the greatest value for the per- son. What are the laws? Health and work, conflict and creation, pleasure and affec- tion are certainly involved. A science of living is possible before the solution of medical and political problems, Politically, World Federation is neces- sary and the only answer, but it will take education, guts and leadership, Anyway, the flicker of men, moths and the wolf on the hill is soon over and haw splen- did meantime was the pageant. VT ef! ROBERT ARTHUR EVANS Son Mateo, Calif. Stanford, A.B. During o brief respite at this milestone of our iourney, we can take comfort from the lessons learned along the way From them we can also predict some of the turns of the road that still remain before us. l Changing successions of errors and vi:- taries will constitute the essence of o future which will lead us, by paths that are sometimes luminous and at other times barely discernible, to goals that today seem vogue and distant, to doubts that il WINTHROP FISH Los Angeles, Calif. California, A.B. The abrupt plunge from softly filtered California sunshine to New Yorks frigid blasts must invariably provoke question as to what-in this of alternating sleet and sweat, of packed multitudes in their crazy daily rush nowhere, af booby-trapped side- walks, and of sool begrimed collars-gust what there is that holds the fond affection of so many. Four years apprenticeship should provide an lnkling, but instead, de' patture in sight, leaves me suddenly aware of a curious regret. yesterday were dogmas, to hypotheses that perhaps tomorrow will be truths.

When first we came in 'forty-eight, Alas, l did not know my late' l'd always thought the female equal, But listen to this awesome sequel: A pie in the face from my pal Bill, Ot butterscolch cream I got my till! Nat to mention Roosen's rifle, He found with me he dare not trifle! Q But l've been called o little flower By Rene, Knight of this Ivory Tower, And when l passed through PIirnpton's door, His lion set up a magnihzent roar! Now life at med school has been great, And I have had o happy fate. But after four whole years at Bard, We still find stone steps cold and hard! At lost I have lound on five days o week For knowledge and gems we equally seek, X From Monday to Friday we compete lor o pearl, l But on Solurdoy night l'm glad l'm o girl! 22

Golf in the afternoon now and again Or a trip to Harkness should it rain, Someday the future will be right and rosy With garden bright 'round cottage cozy. All at this on me depends, One whose memory a soul can rend. Someday simply cannot mean never. Someday is now, now and forever. 3 od Y WALLACE EPSTEIN New York, N. Y. City College of New York, B.S.

A FRANK J. CURRAN 3 1 Indianapolis, Ind. - Notre Dame, B.S. , Its day begun, the iust-born sky was blank, defenseless, bare, 'Til sun-rays linked a chain therethrough, stirring up the air, And binding it to mortal earth, Whose vapors rose in iealaus mirth, And made the stillness die. The day was years, the fight but short, so fast there was she held, And dying into clouds, she wept, her thunder, lightning had not held The swiftly rising dusk from ecrlh, Which sped Io darkness in the hearth Can now you see the sky?
