THE MASTER- ARTIST AND HIS CREW The ma ster artist at Emerson is, of course, our principal E. A. Spaulding. During his forty-one years of finishing student portraits at Emerson, he has heard the voices and laughter of thou¬ sands of students who have benefited greatly from his guidance and leadership. In his auditorium talks we have heard Mr. Spaulding bring out in all their real color the scenes from the past which have been painted by the footfalls of former students. The artistic touch of Mr. Spaulding is shown at Emerson in the collection of paintings which is believed to be the largest of any public school in the United States. This is what Mr. Spaulding has given to all of us. Mr. E. A. Spaulding Miss Link and Mrs. Francis contribute to Emerson picture. Page 15
