Miss Waters attended New York University where she majored in Journalism. Kathleen has been on the staff of Time and Life magazines. She is proving her ability as a journalist. The golden orb is receding behind the hills, and the sun's rays grow dim at the close of day. The pictures thrown from the mirror on the wall are fast fading. With a backward glance, and a whispered prayer that our fu- ture careers be stamped with God's approval we now take up our duties that call for im- mediate service. Lois Brennen, '43 Kathleen WVaters, '43
