President BRUCE ANDERSON Vice-President HERBERT DYE Secretary-Treas. ELAYNE HELLER ADVERTISING DESIGN IIIA ce right up, tolks—It's the heyday for the most stupendous event of the year, as the finest talent ever possessed by Pratt Institute passes the portals of antiquity into the future of worlds to conquer. Maintaining magnificent control of this high-pressured maelstrom of genius is the lean, lanky leader Bruce Anderson, ably assisted by Vice-President, Herb Dye and Secretary-Treasurer, Elayne Heller. Sergeant Ajootian's peppy war stories, you may be sure, have a permanent place in our tremendous craniums, as has William ‘'Bull- fighter'' Longyears, probs, pricks, and competitions. “And don't (but of course, you won't) forget the Ten Commandents'’ quote Leonard—unquote. Incidently, if your eyelevel is up here, why pray tell, do you put your point of vision way down here? Put it where it belongs and follow your proper shades and shadows, and Mr. Lawson's rendering recruits will blossom forth with dazzling delineations. Hold it! The Tuesday duet by Wee Willie Rivchin and young Mr. Young is a Water-color class unfinished symphony in two keys. Space! Ether! Vacuum! The fourh comes after the third—if you can find it; provided you go the longest way around because it is the shortest way home, and you'll get there much faster. After this, should we mention Mr. Benrimo?—or has he already been subtly mentioned. Getting back to earth and some beautiful forms and letters, take it ''slow and easy’’ is Mr. Hayne's advice. But we can do that when we get out. SCHOOL OF FINE AND APPLIED ARTS President MAYNARD WIGGINS Vice-President FRED ZOFFER Secretary-Treas. PHYLISS TANNER ADVERTISING DESIGN IIIB bk graduating class in Advertising Design of June 1939 bids farewell to Pratt Institute. With this farewell the panorama of our three years of study unfolds before us. Thru hard work we have developed ourselves so that we will be able to cope with the world and its problems. No longer can we be shielded by the knowledge and foresight, the tolerance and understanding of our parents and teachers. True, we were once a group of unpredictable youngsters but since then we have formed a never to be forgotten friendship which in future years will be c herished as a memory of our school days. Some of us will attain the heights of our ambitions, the brilliant future in Art and all its phases that was so ibued in us when we entered Prat — certainly it is true that whether we surpass our fondest hopes and aspirations or have success in moderation — none of these things could have been accomplished without the friendly patient advice and guidance of our instructors. It is with nostalgia that we part today. Many of us will never meet again but we will never forget the years of our formation — when our talents were brought out, our errors corrected and our careers begun. In retrospect we will always be grateful for the opportunity we had at Pratt. 28
