MEAN lf. BAIRD Oak Bluffs, Nlass., is a graduate of Nova Scotia Normal School. She is a Special student in the Teacher Training Division. Whenjean Grst came to the Art School two years ago, she tiplocd around so quietly that we hardly knew she was here. But now Jean has breathed in some of the school atmosphere, and is as full of fun as any of the bunch! She is a mighty conscientious stu- dent too. Jean graduates with an enviable record as a student, teacher, and real Normal Artist. i ELEANOR MARTIN BARDWELL Belchertown, Mass., graduated from the High School in that town. Her home is now on Boylston Street, so she has not far to come to M. N. A. S. Eleanor with those big, dark eyes is a popular member of the High School Division of Teachers. She is liked because of her wonderfully even disposition. XVish we could all be like her. F. XVALTER BENNETT 42 Park Street, Bradford, Mass., is an alumnus of Haverhill High. Yank or Wfalla is president of the Senior Class. He has probably accomplished more in his four years than any other member of his class. His paintings are of the highest merit. He has been a hard worker, faithful to his course, earnest in his endeavor to make it. We will Grid Walter at the head of the list of world-famous illustrators before long. Walter wears a serious frown while working, that changes quickly to a smile when a certain young lady appears. He has spent most ofhis off moments teaching Marcia the fine points of the eternal question. 24 X Q X X Rx X N -Rss. .Q V itiuf fi I .tat st t :gsgs ss. v 4 AX ' Y Vfilsl F .F p .gl its Cl' Cliftondali modest yt Cliflondalc diligent st been willir elass aetii member o mittee for ing here, h Lewiston, l engineering become at but Gnd I' sincere frie mercial lllt and he B. wants.

We all looked forward fearing and trembling lest we should be one of his victims lvlr. lVlajor's class proved to be most interesting, in as much as it was an all-round class, dealing with literature and acrobatic stunts. XVe had to learn to stand on our heads and look at it, to get a fresh eyef' that girls were no longer girls but sweet young things and that most of our paintings were interpretations of that familiar quotation Out damned spot. june came altogether too soon, and we separated, good friends, in good spirits, and fairly well launched on our careers lt was not long before we returned to school and arrayed ourselves in brown smocks, casting our green ones aside forever. lt was with some sorrow that we discovered that all of our class had not returned to inflict punishment upon the unfortunate Freshman. Early inthe year we had the pleasure of receiving lvlr. Farnum as our new Director. l-lis enthusiasm made us feel glad that we were only Sophomores and had three whole years ahead of us. Smoek Day was all that we had patiently waited for, and we had our revenge. livents were few in our Sophomore year. We were much calmer and less sure that we knew it all than we had been in the previous year, and so we spent our time in hard work, especially during lvlr. Cain's perspective theory class. We came back in the fall as juniors to find a few more of us missing. Yes, we werejuniors, and would have gloried in the fact had it not been for the Seniors, who once again, as they had on one Smoek Day, properly squelehed our dignihed feelings by reminding us that they knew all about us. Our third year, like our Freshman year, was full of surprises. We were con- stantly eonfronted with new problems. Anatomy, Life Class, Composition, and Design with lvlr. George. These classes proved to be most interesting, and helped us so much that we were at last beginning to feel that sometime, perhaps, we would be able to draw and paint. Our Christmas Spread was a joyful one, especially our part ofthe entertain- ment. 'l'he Follies of iq!-l was a plain example of what can be done on the spur of the moment. lf the audience suffered, it was no concern of ours, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, from chorus girl down to the scenery. The junior Prom was a gay and happy event and was a most appropriate climax to our junior year. The year was partially saddened by the sudden deaths of joseph De Camp, lnstruetor, and of George H. Bartlett, Principal Emeritus. Seniors at last. That, which was to mean so much to us, meant nothing. Instead of feeling exuberantly dignihed and uplifting, we felt depressed and un- necessary. True, we had no longer any class above us to watch us, to keep us down, to dictate to us. l-low we did wish we had! We enjoyed the Smoek Day performance with all our hearts. A new :est was added when we realized it was our last. How we envied the Freshmen their four years ahead of them. XVe became better acquainted with the Freshmen at the reception given by the Seniors. Next came our Christmas Spread with its usual gaiety dampened at first by the thought that we would not have another one. We tried to forget that, however, and, liked everything, from the salad to Mr. Farnum's promise that we should all have diplomas in june. Our entertainment, unlike ourselves, was the most dignihed part of the program. The Senior Dance was everything that might be expected of a Senior Class. Although it was Leap Year, no one was seriously injured, heart or otherwise. The last and most important event ofour class history will have to be recorded in our memoriesgour graduation. We hope we have helped to make our stay here a pleasant one to our friends, our underclassmen, and our instructors. We have, to the best of our ability, tried to meet the responsibilities of art school life. With graduation comes the breaking up of some of the friendships formed through our school years. Never again will we meet on the same basis as Normal Art School students, but we must all go our several ways. However, no matter what we do, or where we go, we shall all have the memories of our four years together, uniting us in one bond of affection for our friends and our Alma lvlater.
