Hall Clara Abbott FEBRUARY 15, 1918. ART IN GENE.RAL It isnt because we havent artistic souls that the Owl has hitherto been so artless; it's because in these days of war and economy the Student Body purse has been too flat to permit of the flowering of any artistic tend-enceButeven such hard times gives advantages the imagination receives a stimulus second only to that which hustles the eager scientist along the trail of the unknown. It is a fact (even if you dont believe it) that the world exists within and not without. Man's whole inside anatomy is a picture show (or should be) which can be worked at will, and therein lies the work of an artless Owl; it has stimulated us to do our own illustrating. But, whereas, in the past it has been the highest art to appear delighted with the Owl and never to mention the omission of pictures, it is now art in the highest degree to appear delighted with the Owl and to mention (very much) the pictures with which the Owl is decorated. And more, it is now art to observe that this issue is not dedicated to well just guess who are most s. interested in each other and then remember that, this issue is dedand icated to art and that ; ; and , are not mentioned. (They have asked this as a favor, hut I wonder if it wasnt a reminder.) It is also art to be pleasant and kind to every body who can give you a boost in exchange' for a for a smile or pay a bawl-ou- t. frown.

Especially was this question asked by the 4th years in regard to their class, for her loss will be particularly felt by them, and well may we regret to see her go, for such students as Laura are exceptionally scarce. Laura has certainly won the love and esteem of every member of her class, as soon as she entered school last year, the Juniors claimed her as their president and no where could they This have found a better one. was soon proved by her faithful diligent work that brought such distinction and success to the 3rd year class. She gained such a place in our hearts last year that at the beginning of this winter she was unanimously chosen by the Seniors as their president and has been no less successful. It is often when said that students become 4th years they lose interest in class activities but this is not so with Laura as the president. She was always planning something to arouse the class spirit and create new life, and was continually coming out with an idea that was entirely new. She spared no time or effort in making everything she undertook a sucWe certainly hope that cess. she will come back in the spring and graduate with us, for the class is not complete without her presence.
