Alumni Notes Laura Alberi — “Custard’ ' A giggle and a chuckle from any com- fortable spot will lead you to Laura, with her customary broad, optimistic smile. Laura intends to be a nurse, and we imagine that many a forlorn patient will be nursed to a grinning healtniness by Laura’s joviality. Bronislaw Arcisz — “Sheik of the Class” A quarterback and a sheik have their numbers to remember, and Bruno re- members both. Bruno’s ability as a leader was demonstrated in his role as captain in “Submerge.” Laura Aho Laura Aho didn’t think him nice. So she told him to “go fry ice.” So Laura now a-huntmg goes And for a boy friend is on her toes. Margaret Allen Margaret Allen always has a grin. She fondly hopes, will boy friends win. Instead of making eyes at Swartz Go get him, and show your SCOTCH! Edward Anderson Edward Anderson looks so meek, To get acquainted takes a week. “Treat ’em rough” is that boy’s creed. So watch your step, and watch his speed.

14 THE SCREECH OWL “ ’TIS THE WOUNDED SOLDIER” (a la Edna St. Vincent Millay) ril make allowances for human ills, ril grant that things will be and they will not ; Perhaps you cannot know the love that fills My every part, and makes me rue my lot. But yet a little sympathy you owe To one who cannot keep from trying still. To whom your relief was a ghastly blow. Though in another I may heal the sore. Apply the antiseptic with a friend, Soothe with the gauze of experience’s lore. And with the bandage of protection mend, Tis the wounded soldier, with ev’ry breath. Stanching the bleeding gash, praying for death. SONNET Above the world of worry and of care. The moon sails high, and with a fine disdain Of all that sordid is, and all not fair, Pretends to overlook the gross, the plain ; But ’neath the pretense there is nice attempt To cover ev’ry blight with cloth o’ gold. And with a beaming smile fair Luna tempts Each unsuspecting beauty from its fold. As if by magic lawn and garden change. Before my eyes a silent wonder wrought. And peace comes in my heart with moon-glow strange, — Anxiety, the pain of grief are naught. Days limited, should I now wish to live? Then nights like this, what more has Life to give?

16 THE SCREE CH OWL Isabel Annis Pet of the Faculty, eh? Well, Isabel, most likely such seasonable dealings and contacts (??) with such an instructive body will have its results in your future. Remember, however, that “faculty” is also defined as “mental capacity, ability, and ease.” Aulis Autio — “Lassu” “But then. Pm only human after all” is his favorite saying. Quiet, he has a determined will and set principles. He is one of the go-getters of the class and it takes Aulis to start things. The sky’s the limit! Dominic Baccaro — “Dom” Dom is always willing to work — and with a smile. What’s more, he always picks the hardest job. You can’t go wrong, Dom. Anne Bellows Ambition: to go “ga-ga.” Favorite say- ing: “Really.” Did Anne’s ancestors off the Mayflower ever meet the Concord patriots ? Sophomoric indifference is her forte. Striking originality illumines her artistry. Ga-ga, old girl, ga-ga. Jennie Bygot Of thee we sing Jennie, But oh, that violin, Jennie, Success lies ahead of you in June. Before you go, put your fiddle in tune!
