15. THE OWL Senior Class Officers on Parade JAMES LIGHTNER. The graduating class was wise in selecting the competent Mr. Lightner for its President. He has taken keen interest in his job and has worked with untiring efforts in assisting the seniors to reach their goal without too much worry and difficulty. Mr. Lightner believes in keeping busy. Besides coming to night school for five years to pursue a course of Social Science, he works during the day for the Gas Company and on his offfnights assumes the position of a dutiful husband. Before coming to night school he completed work for a B.C.S. Degree at the Y.M.C.A. After leaving school this year, his next ambition is to work for a C.P.A. Degree. It is another ambition of his to some day travel to California to visit his wife's relatives. Happy Landings! MARION EAST. Mr. East, who also has been coming to City Night School for five successful years in order to follow the General Commercial Course, is wellfliked and appref ciated by his student companions. His assistance as VicefPresident in making this year's graduation a successful one, was a great asset to the struggling senior class. Like all other ambitious people, he is not content with merely attending school by night and doctoring fountain pens by day, but studies astronomy as a hobby and plays the violin as a pastime. Besides this, he is married, and, well, you ought to know what that means. GEORGE HENRY A. KOMMALAN. This young man is the one who has done much to spread a cheerful spirit among the graduates. They enjoyed having him as their Treasurer as much as he enjoyed being it. He considered it a lot of work, a lot of worry, but also a lot of fun. Mr. Kommalan is being graduated with an Academic diploma, having pursued the LatinfMathematic Course. Although he has only been coming to night school for two years, he has found that to be time enough to learn that it demanded many sacrifices. Previously, he completed a year at the Y.M.C.A. Business College. Subsequently, he hopes to attend the University of Baltimore to learn the twists and turns of a counselor at law. More sacrifices! Mr. Kommalan likes detective stories and talks about them, and he is blessed with a crop of golden hair and a fine baritone voice which he uses to sing in the choir of Grace and St. Peter's Church. He used to sing with a dance band and has been in a radio contest. When he travels, his motto is See America First. After that comes England-his kingdom and his weakness. He leaves us with his jovial outlook: I like the world in general and hope the world likes me. ELEANOR M. LEIDNER. The senior class is fortunate in having Miss Leidner as its Secretary. She not only has taken a very great interest in the position and labored zealously at the many tasks assigned her, but has created a pleasant atmosphere among the students. Her congenial nature has added many new friends to the great number of them she has made in the six years in which she has been coming to City College to secureaCommercial diploma. Before that time she spent two years at Eastern High School. Next year she does not intend to sever her connection with City, but hopes to return to study bookkeepf ing and Spanish-and probably to make more new friends: Miss Leidner works in the Personnel Department at Hecht Brothers during the day. Her special hobby is dramatics, which she has been studying at the Y.W.C.A. for two years. During that time she has taken part in several onefact plays. May her future success greet us with bright lights! Another hobby of Miss Leidner's is dancing. Her travels up to this time have been confined to Virginia and New York, but she is now making plans to journey to Bard Avon How we envy her! Forty eight

THE OWL Fortyfseven City College How beautiful she stands upon the hill! Against the sky, so tall, so proud, so still, A castle scene of old, In mute farewell her silence speaks to me And bids me keep alive her memory As distant days unfold. In falling autumn dusk I saw her shade, Those lurking shadows, they will never fade Before my dreaming mindg I saw her eyes through darkest wintry nights, How like her wisdom gleamed those many lights That beckoned all to find! I saw the storms in fury 'round her beat, And snows lay lovely patterns at her feet In humble servitudeg I marveled as I viewed the setting sun Enhance her beams with splendor it had spun From springtime gratitude. I saw the stones of gray that form her walls, I joined the band of knights who roam her halls, I answered every bell, And nowlmy shield is bright, her voice is still, I leave my castle there upon the hill And wave a fond farewell. -M. R. TIMMERMAN The City's Lullaby The sudden screeching of tightened brakes, The endless rambling of rolling wheels, The tireless pattering of running feet Of children-games they play with squealsg The rattling bounce of trolley cars, The clanks of much unheeded bells, The murmuring buzz of friendly news, Its echoed hum each voice retellsg The thunderous approach of a mumbling train, The hissing strength of its laboring steam, The soothing tales of distant chimes, The swelling bars of a baby's scream- All sounds that kindly prick my ear, As gathering cheerful unity, They tangle all their notes, and leap Upon a chord of harmony To lull my drowsy mind to sleep. -M. R. TIMMERMAN
