Ralph Avery Charles Horn Milton Bond Marjorie Lapp Fletcher Carpenter Ailing Clements Elizabeth Mesmer Jacqueline O’Connell Sylvia Davis Harold Richardson Ruth Gutfrueht Stanley Witmeyer We remember how patiently Miss Rau waits for our at- tention in department center before she reads the Quotation for the day, Tony smiles and adjusts another catastrophe, a ripped shade or a blackened lightbulb, and then returns to his growing pile of “lost and found,” Mr. Ulp peers at us as we tear over to the dorm during class time for mail, Mr. Witmeyer's effervescent, “Let's go gang!” stirs us to a fury of freshman creativity, Mr. Clements’ emphatic “DO” and “Skull Club” animate his drawing and anatomy classes. We are students armed w ith paper or canvas stretched on a frame, with brushes and pens, with paints and paint cans. We are Freshmen who envy aloof Juniors and Seniors when they wear paint be medaled smocks, shirts, and dungarees. We are Juniors, still choosing between design or illus- tration courses, sometimes getting discouraged, but still working hard. Wre are Seniors, the days of school almost over, the future that was planned for now almost here. Together we are art students with centuries of art behind us and progress in our future.

Van Pcursem Barbara Parker Raymond Bichler Robert Paine Edwin Hen nick Herbert Ulrich Homer Imes James Wilson Jr. ■'Who took my test tube holders? “Who turned off the little centrifuge?1’ These are cries that you hear in any of the many labor- atories where we chemistry students work. Problems plague the chemist— The bitter frustration which results when a long-sought- after precipitate fails to form in our qualitative analysis classes; The confused looks on our faces when Mr. Bichler runs through some very abstract equations in our differential and integral calculus class; The pride we take in our engineering drawings until some- one comes along and spills ink on them; The yellow-stained fingers which result from careless use of HNO in the lab the day before; The adjustments to be made when we go out and come back from our work blocks in the chemical industry.
