Flower of Love IOSEPH HELLING, '42, Beside the lake shore in a forest glade Beneath the deep and stately woodland shade, There stands a lonely flower love has made. And swaying low above its mirrored face, It sees within itself, Narcissus' grace, As purple and white, the ripples interlace. Narcissus, broken-hearted lover, still Alone beside this silvery nymphland rill, Find now thy love in Echo's plaintive trill. raduafes

Lglie gidelianj STEPHEN KATO DUQUESNE, PA. Brutus died and Nature said, That was a man! Stephen leaves us, and we recognize at last the inherent virtues of manliness and generosity that bedecked this senior of ours. He was ever before us, even where the Greek forms flew thick and fast, showing us by good example and an occasional admonition, the way a model seminarian should act. As senior, Steve was generally the middle man in the delivery of our mail. Chief of his characteristics is Steve's practical leaning. Having been appointed Poetry Editor for the Echo, he threw himself into his work as whole- heartedly as is always his custom. One of his favorite dinners was buttered iambics with a -f - dactyl or two for dessert. To tell all about Steve in a few short words would be to say he is a regular fellow. In the line of sports Steve majored in basketball as captain of the writhing Pythons , and was major threat of the Jeeps bowling squad. Kate also drummed a wicked chord as the foundation of the first bass section in our choir. With a smile and spirit that are irrepressible, Steve will, we are sure, overtake success on his way through life. God speed you, Steve, at Josephinum. JOHN VENDEMIA CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD. Hy-'all, said a fair-haired, blue-eyed son of the South one bright day early our second year. This was none other than John Watah Vendemia. Getting into stride very readily, Johnie survived the terrors of home- sickness and Greek with a song on his lips. Through the five years that we have had Johnie among us we have all acquired a lik- ing for his effervescent, friendly qualities. Besides holding his end of the class work down quite well, John pinch-hit for Delilah every Saturday afternoon in the barbershop. His favorites in the field of sports are hand- ball, basketball and ice skating. A sports- minded fellow though he is, Johnie also goes for music in a major key. He is a leader of the first tenors, their chief caroler, to be frank. Everyone of the sextani has delighted in the sunshine of John's rollicking piano playing. For reasons such as these we feel that five years of Fidelian family life have woven Johnie V. into the corner of our hearts. John intends to don the Capuchin's simple robe, and we are sure he will leave a place at St. Fidelis that will be diliicult to fill. .
