STRUCTU RA L DESIGN GRADUATES James P. McDonough Adolph Kirchner Another year has rushed by, and we pause a moment to think of what we have accomplished. Of the men who entered upon their studies with this class, Septem- ber 2, 1921, only two remain to graduate. We look around us, and by counting the empty desks and by deep concentration we are able to re- member a number of faces and some of the names of the twenty-eight men who were forced to drop along the trail. Some left on account of sickness and were sent to hospitals, east, west, north, and south. Some were not fitted by nature or inclination to achieve success in this line of work. On account of time spent in the hospitals, one of the twenty- eight has been put back with the next class to graduate. But the two men who go out into the business world in June to enter again into competition with their fellowmen will do so, knowing that they are well fitted for the work by reason of the time and effort spent in this school. Because of the fact that all of the men enrolled in this course are Veteransy Bureau trainees, it is doubly hard to graduate a class of any size. The disabilities which have been incurred by these men make school work a drudge and an impossibility at times. But we hope that this class will make up in enthusiasm and ambition what it lacks in size. An example is ever before our minds in Mr. Thomas W. Peters, Who graduated in l22, and who now is employed by the Harig Construc- tion Co. and has made good. The aid of the government and the education that has been given us at this school is deeply appreciated, and it is the fervent prayer of the class that we shall justify the faith shown in us and ever be a credit to our school. -Earl L. Jackson SECOND YEAR MACHINE DESIGN. Our class approaches the completion of the school-year with but seven of its original fifteen members remaining. Eight of our men have harkened to the promptings of ambition and have gone out to assume their share of responsibilties in a busy world. On the other hand we were recently reinforced by the addition of six capable young men from the first year class; thus bringing our class back to its original numerical strength. Those of us who are leaving in June do so with the one regret that the pleasant associations we have enjoyed can not be kept up forever. But the pleasant recollections are forever ours, and if by chance Dame Fortune should favor us in the days to come, We shall not be so unappreeiative as to deny full credit and acknowledgment to those whose effort have helped us win success.

Mr. Thompson, our class literary genius, informs us that if his luck just holds out for the next few months he will take unto him- self a sweet woman for life. Schrenker came to school every day for a week with a collar and tie on all set for the class picture. But the day the picture was finally taken caught Schrenker napping, as you may judge from the picture itself. Lebkishefs going back to Urbana when its all over. There's only one shop in that big burg; so if Leb. doesnit make good, hell have to move again.
