ADVERTISING DESIGN 3A A. last the time has drawn nigh when we shall be let loose upon an unsuspecting world. Three years ago, we entered Pratt Institute to sweep all before us. Three years of exposure to the ways of the work-a-day commercial atmosphere have made from that wide-eyed mob of freshmen, a group much more prepared for the actualities of business. Goaded by pleas to “get the structural concept” and stimu- lated by contests arranged by our supervisor, we managed to ap- proximate an excellent imitation of hard work. Several of our number won acclaim, and three more, substantial rewards as the result of these competitions. But our three years have also had many moments of fun. Songs, harmony and jokes, practical and otherwise, were continually floating about; but in spite of it all, both class and instructors survived. Now we are ready for the step that is to determine our future. After commencement, the group, that has been so closely united, will Epwarp ALMGREN President scatter into the various fields for which they have been trained. Donatp L.

Entering the Rofheart-Symansyck building he sighed “more business”. Coming out were Relay and Revell saying “we just designed an exhibit and Meyers is putting it up.”” He went in but it was all students’ work so he left via Wescotts studio. Emerg- ing he saw Fanny Levine hanging on the arm of a copy of the New York Times. And there was glamorous Eraine Mantas being photo- graphed by Maskaly with Muskstadt alongside giggling. Ginny Millard on her way to get a photostadt flew by with Pat Pitts who had just written up Ollie Sommers’ wedding. He turned the corner and there was Lipowski his hair a-flying. He was on his way to see O'Malley working on his lamps. Accompanying him we passed Quell ballyhooing MacDonald in his latest picture “Bustle Disease”. The whole class was out in its full regalia. To add a more serious note to this work, the whole class has spent three very profitable years in the studios at Pratt and, while this was written in a frivolous vain, we sincerely hope that each member Joun Scorrorp, Jr. President of the class achieves his aims in the years to come.
