ILLUSTRATION Soon many of the friendships of our three years at Pratt will, under the stimulus of new adventures, new standards, gradually fade. There will be other friends, other environments; but the recollections of these friendships, of the laughter, and the dis- couragements of the hard work that was all a part of our days here at Pratt will never leave our mem- ories. It is this that will keep us all united as we move on through the years achieving those goals and purposes which we have set for ourselves. An lllustrator, '48, recollects the Green Year (Foundation): When nature class went watercoloring and wound up canoeing with the United States Navy. Foundation E had a tea dance—after all, forty women can get desperate. Those eternal color problems. Soldering in three-dimensional and ‘the hands you don't love to touch. The proverbial feminine envy of the G. I. classes —for their work and for their abundance of men. Bee ys Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (our second year). Pauline Streeters’ Friday desperation. John Peterson's scion and the forty vicarious parents of Illustration II. Mr. Ajootian and ''what the poets have been rav- ing about''—''You'd have to get up early in the morning to beat that.’ When Eve, fig leaf and all, invaded Life class. The long and short of it— Marge and Mclver. The trio to Bear Mountain—the baseball game— and the first freckles of the season. Mr. Cimiotti and his views on marriage. |'Marry late and it won't last so long.’ —''Find a rich widow with a bad cough. Mr. Kostellow's weekly purge of gum, yawns and evidence of amour. Silverberg and the one-haired brush. Chuck Lemerise informing the girls they ‘hadn't lived'’ until they'd been down to Johnny's. Mr. (this elevator doesn't stop on the third floor) Scott and his lightning ability to close doors—es- pecially when you want in. 5 gh 55 6h The Way of all Flesh (Thira Year). Miss Tucker sports the ''new look’’. George Santos—his sea stories and following of wide-eyed innocents. George and Larry return from India, and Civil War breaks out. The campaign for Shirley Walters, ‘delicate charm and rare freshness in this day of such short- ages. The Peterson, Marge (there's nothing like a woman's tuition), McConnell and McElroy hukster team. When vwe all wondered if Ruth Jensen went to the same barber as Cronogue. Third Year sponsors a Barn Dance, and Mr. Graves has a hard time keeping his feet on the ground. Wall's lavender smock and his efforts to retrieve it from the ceiling when we tried to get rid of it. Wachtel and Schiller flaunt lovely diamonds in front of the toiling peasants. Mr. (get the character of this particular model) Harshberger weakly asking for patience and for- bearance as illustration gaily chatters on.
