We have formed friendships that are more precious than anything the ivorld has to offer. Our .lima Mater has taught us the truths of beauty in life and we strive to make manifest our conception of beauty in art. With these two requirements friendships and skill we stand richly cndoived on the threshold of life and are ready to withstand obstacles in our paths. .- 1 we look forth into the misty uncertainty of the future we are presented with the sad realization that our pathways diverge. We have formulated this little book with the hope that the golden cords of our friendships may not be broken and in later years our visions may be cleared by refreshed memories of days so happily passed. If this volume will accomplish this end we have succeeded in our aim. .Assistant Editors Jeanne Kantor Iargaret Hughes Catherine Tracy Rae Esner Fred O’Hara .Art Editors Louis Xovak Elmer Hall ?klATHILDE SeGEL .Assistants Leon Kibbe Henrietta Webb Business Manager Charles Austin Circulation Ruth Smith Alice Vianello Other .Assistants Beatrice Paipe:rt Jennie Brotman The Editor.

X. A. S. he had the advantage of e.xhaustive studies in ' Fngland, Italy, Ger- many and Belgium. Like many Xew Fnglanders, the West called him, and he won laurels as Director of the Xormal Department of the Cleveland School of .Art: director of .Art Education m the Xormal Schools of Xew York, where he was also State specialist in Indus- trial Training. Air. Farnum returned to his native state as Director of .Art Education, and is the Iteloved prin- cipal of our school, where his lectures inspire interest rivalled by those seeking him in the lecture field out of school hours. FREDERICK AIASOX WILDER Willard Street. Braintree Dean — Lecturer on General History Air. Wilder was born in Bangor. Ale., and at Har- vard he received the degrees of B.S. and AI.S. Before coming to the AI. X. A. S. he taught in Cleveland. He is an example of the round peg in the round role or the square peg in the square hole, for he fits into any angle of his work, to our profit, if not always to our pleasure. Few are they who complete their course without trembling in the official presence and no one, however brief his experience, fails to have a happy mem- ory of his personal cordiality. CYRUS EDWIX DALLI.X 69 Oakland .Avenue. .Arlington Heights. Air. Dallin was born in L’tah. The Indians were his friends and his first ideas of beauty came from their beads, baskets and pottery. His first works, two life- sized heads, were exhibited at a fair in Salt Lake City. He came to Boston to study with Truman H. Bartlett. In a few years he went to Paris, attracting the attention of many able sculptors and artists. Fame and success came rapidly. The .Appeal to the Great Spirit ’ is uni- versally known. He is kindly and sincere and is held in the highest respect by his pupils. WILBUR DEAX HAAIILTOX Trinity Court, Dartmouth Street, Boston. Born Soincrfield, Ohio. Graduate oj Xormal .Art School. Pupil oj the Ecolc Des Beaux .Arts, Paris. The school is indeed fortunate in having as an instructor this man who has long since proved his ability as a portrait painter, decorator and teacher. From his first entrance into the school as an instructor in drawing, to his present position of head of the Drawing and Paint- ing Department, he has ever worked for higher stand- ards. Air. Hamilton ' s personal interest in the student is characteristic. He is admired and respected by his pupils. YESPER LLXCOLX GEORGE 20 Commonwealth .Avenue. Boston: West Gloucester Head oj the Design Department Air. George was born in Boston and studied in Paris under Constant Doucet and Lefebre. He is not only a designer but also a lecturer and a noted mural painter, and the student who can say he studied under Yesper George holds the key to artistic heavens. I ' or many years the students at the AI. X. .A. S. have been able to enjoy his keen interest in them, his many-sided cul- ture and his terse comments on the world and its ways, especially ihe ways of Spain and Paris. AAIY R.VCKEL WHITTIER 90 Chestnut Street. Boston. In the summer time in her mountain seclusion. Aliss Whittier writes words of counsel and charm to her eager horde of teachers and pupils. Fired by her en- thusiasm, encouraged by her sympathy and understand- ing. strengthened by the friendliness she has for all who approach her, Aliss Whittier, yearly, sends out her group of teachers. .A glance at her charming picture is ade- quate to express all the lovely and fine thoughts we cherish of her as friend and teacher. Aliss Whittier has studied here, at the Cowles -Art School, Harvard, and at the universities of Boston and Chicago. 14 1 , ■KI� IXiniXI� IKI� INI£BIKIS(IKI� INISXIlCIKIKa XIXIXIXIUIXISIXJX RAYMOND AVERILL PORTER 331 Harvard Street. Cambridge. Mr. Porter was born at Herinon. X. V.. but spent his childhood out in the western frontier. His many rem- iniscent tales of the prairies are always pleasant to hear. He is practically self-taught, but has attended the Chi- cago . rt Institute. He has been a member of the faculty of this art school, and is connected with the Boston So- ciety of Sculptors and the Copley Society. He is admired by each pupil who is under his guidance, for his kind help and instruction and also for his sincere personality and sterling character. JAMES MACE ANDRESS 67 Clyde Street. N’ewtonville. Teacher Training. Born in Chesaning, Michigan. Dr. Andress has taught psychology here since 1915. He is at the head of the Department of Psychology and Social Hygiene at the State Normal School. Worcester. He has received BPd. and , .B. degrees from the Mich- gan State Normal College; Ph.M. from the University of Chicago; , .M. from Harvard, and Ph D. from Clark University. IMany of us have not had the pleasure of studying under the supervision of this man. or of even meeting him. but we see him as he passes along with his kindly smile and genial manner. RICHARD ANDREW Fenway Studios. 50 Ipswich Street. Boston; 173 Strat- ford Street. West Roxbury. Mr. . ndrew is the exponent of free expression, the analyist of human beings, the teacher who injects vivid comments and dissertations into an ordinarily dull anatomy course, who secures amazingly faithful attend- ances to life classes and who kindly and sincerely helps us grow. But beware of the twinkle in his eyes! It precludes an argument, for Mr. .Andrew talks of many things. Not only is Air. .Andrew a successful teacher but as well, a fine artist, as any Boston art gallery exhibitions can prove. Air. .Andrew has studied abroad and was a pupil of Laurens and Gerome. ETHEL G. BARTLETT Longfellow Court. 1200 Alassachusetts .Avenue. Cambridge. Aliss Bartlett makes the study of values of light and shade and watercolors pleasant and agreeable. She is the essence of gentleness, the personification of gracious- ness. and the em.bodiment of true kindliness, kindly ex- pressed. The watercolors Aliss Bartlett herself executes are exquisite and lovely. They inspire us to attempt to paint likewi.se. Aliss Bartlett has a niche all her own in our hearts, for she always is willing to advise us when we come to her with the perplexities and problems of our tasks. DANIEL O. BREWSTER 1 7.A Branch Street, Boston. Air. Brewster was burn in New A ' ork but his home is in Sandown. New Hampshire. He graduated from AI. N .A. S. and has taught at the Hartford .Art School as well as at schools tn Cornish. Chester and Derry. New Hampshire. For him. life is one lovely pageant after another. He is interested in the Little Theatre move- ment and is an expert teacher of pageantry, dyeing, design and decoration. Flis famous collection of antique bottles is one of the charms of his fascinating studio on Beacon Hill, where the latch string is always out for the pupils of our school. THERON I. CAIN R. F. D. 101 South Biaintree. It is difficult for the student not to associate Air. Cain entirely with angles and bewildering lines, but to be in the same school with him for any length of time means to know him personally, to be assured of a friend at any time and to be pleasurably and profitably escorted through many rough subjects. While it is impossible to absorb perspective in one year we know that we are given the most possible and this, flavored with Air. Cain ' s refreshing sense of humor, makes the course quite interesting. ' Ve wish him a continued success and happiness in his erge into matrimony and the trip abroad that follows this summer. 16 HELEN CLEAVES Waban She was born in Rockland, Illinois, and studied under Charles Woodbury and Denman Ross. Her late Friday afternoon class is a fiitins: end to a busy week, for there we always find a bit of humor, a bit of interest, and no dearth of ideas in the lectures. Her assignments are e.xcellent calling caids to the .-Vrt Museum. Those of us who are to be teachers may never fail to gain en- thusiasm for new devices and ideas, for Miss Cleaves seems to have such necessities ever at her finger tips. IRMA COFREX 1334 Commonwealth .Avenue, Boston Costume Design Instructor Miss Cofren was born and brought up in Boston and studied for four years at the Xormal , rt School and was for a time part of the staff of Hickson ' s in Xew York. She also worked with the Connick studio, designers in stained glass windows. In spite of her two years ' teaching experiencs here, it is difficult to take this ■ ' dainty rogue in porcelain for what she really is. a serious member of a serious faculty. Her teaching has the delightful qualities of enthusiasm and encouraging comment rathei than discouraging. She gets the best work out of her pupils by expecting it of them. She can talk authoritatively on most any subject, and to be with her is a liberal education. JOSEI ' H GOSS COWELL 221 Columbus venue. Boston; Wrentham. Mr. Cowell was born in Peoria. Illinois. He was a pupil of Laurens in Paris. Much of his work is in Peoria: the murals and stained glass windows in Saint Mary ' s Cathedral, murals in the Universalist Church and in the V. M. C. A. building there, but he has also decorated theatres in Boston and Holyoke. He is an elusive personality but a brilliant instructor, who com- bines enthusiasm and interest with illuminating direc- tion. He teaches oil painting, cast and figure drawing and his generous advice is not limited to the hours of class, but is always at the disposal of the truly earnest workers. MARTHA M. FLINT 267 High Street. Xewburyport Costume Design Instructor Miss Flint ' s address is also that of her birthplace. She studied in Cincinnati. New York and Boston, and before coming here she taught for ten years in the S. D, Taylor School, and for four years in the Everett evening school. The Gloucester School of the Little Theatre elected her as a member of its summer staff, and she is always in demand to costume pageants. Miss Flint is lenient with the dumb, but never with the dodgers. In following the changing lines of fashion she has never altered her line of constant attendance at class, of helpful suggestion and of unflagging interest. ANNA MAYHEW HATHAWAY 1409 Commonwealth . venue, . llston Miss Hathaway is a representative daughter of the Old Bay State. Born in Brockton, she was graduated from the Lowell School of Design of Boston, and pursued her studies at the Rindge Technical School and at Harvard Summer .School. Her exquisite characteristics find ex- pression in the teachings of the delicate niceties of color harmony. Miss Hathaway ' s qualifications as a teacher are demonstrated in the individual sketches of Xew England scenes, always objects of interest and delight when exhibited in Boston ' s best galleries. WALTER JAMISON 51 Walker Street, Cambridge. If only we had more time to prepare to enter each of Mr. Jamison ' s classes. Tm sure our minds would be ready to absorb his interesting and all important lec- tures. From the writer ' s personal point of view not one of us is big enough or fertile enough to appreciate the wealth of knowledge that is so freely given. e get so much from hearing Mr. .(amison read to us. He has a tonal quality that charms and vivifies the beauty of literature and it is an undeserved privilege to hear his personal views on current events. ALIitRT 5. KP:XDALL 73 Parker Street, Newton Center, ilr. Kendall is the instructor in architectural drafting. Mr. Kendall has a penchant lor out of door activities, sailing and fishing e.specially and we understand he is very successful at both. Mr. Kendall is an instructor who expects a great deal from his pupils and they strive to realize his anticipations. He has a keen sense of humor, an energetic personality and radiates an air of well-being and vigor. Mr Kendall received his . .B. at Harvard in 1905 and also studied at Technologj and abroad. liRNKST L. M.VJOR Fenway Studios. Boston. Mr. Major was born in Washington. D. C. He was a pupil at the .Art Students League, of Boulanger and Lefebvre in Paris. He teaches oil painting and is a favorite exhibitor as well as having a genius for stage direction. Master of his own art, he combines with the art of savoir faire. savoir vivre — Part de se faire aimer. He and his beautiful dog are movie fans — like Merton, we have found ’‘our best friend and severest critic. for his wit is as sharp as a stiletto or as heavy as a sledge hammer — perfectly balanced so that one is sure to re- ceive one end or the other. LACRIX H. AIARTIX 14 Park Street, Lowell. Mass. Teacher oi Metal, Jewelry, Enameling Mr. Martin was born in Lowell and studied under Joseph DeCamp. .Arthur Gaskin and Alexander Fisher of London. He is a consummate artist in his field, who has the trust and esteem of his students. The course under his instruction is a fascinating one. and there are manv who find pleasure in this creative work. Mr. Alartin is a sportsman and devotee of golf. EI.L.A AIUXSTERBERG 53 AA ' estbourne Terrace, Brookline. Miss Munsterberg has joined the .Art School faculty as instructor in history. She studied at the art museum “■chool at Raddiffe College. She is an inveterate traveler, having been abroad ten times. Aliss Alunsterberg is fond of athletics but literature is her hobby, as is the study of personalities. Miss Alunsterberg radiates the sDirit and charm of the Renaissance and her lec- tures are most fascinating because of the magnetic appeal and vividness that she injects into them. We welcome you. Miss Munsterberg. and hope that this is the com- mencement of many years of h.ippy friendships formed here. LILLI AN A. PHILLIPS 36 Robinwood Avenue, Jamaica Plain Although one of our most recent finds among the faculty, she already convinced us of her ability and enthusiasm in the work she teaches, crafts. Miss Phillips is an alumnus of the A1 X. .A. S. and has had considerable experience in occupational therapy, in L niversity Exten- sion and in Club work, where she has lectured on In- terior Decoration as well as her chosen craft work. Miss Phillips is ever a versatile example of those rare per- sonalities who make every moment in a busy day- accountable unto themseUes. We all enjoyed her first year with us, and hope that she will continue giving us of her time ARTHUR RAA ' 515 r ' ellsway West, Aledford Mr. Ray first saw the light in classical Cambridge. Though he teaches mechanical drafting, he has a long history of study in totally different subjects acquired from a post graduate course at our school in painting and composition, from life classes at Boston .Art Club, the Rhode Island School of Design and intense study of design and painting at Flarvard. His rules are as inex- orable as his teaching is valuable. .As a disciplinarian, commuters oi his class are earliest arrivals. He is Saint Peter five minutes before nine, and Cerberus but five after. In the kaleidoscope of our art school mem- ories, Mr. Ray will be the most colorful motif of the pattern. 17 MARY : I. RUGG 62 Hamilion Street, Wollaston. It has been said that success is only a matter of enthusi- asm. Mrs. Ru?g certainly radiates youth and vigor. Her forceful personality is a source of admiration and inspiration to her students. She keeps in touch with what ' s new in styles of illustration by being in the industrial field herself. In this way. the students are prepared to enter immediately into their respective fields. Resides teaching and doing free lance work, she still finds time to maintain a home and bring up her two- year-old son. She has truly attained a success worth striving for. JOHX SHARMOX 101 Coinden .Street. Boston Il’ai Instructor at Rhode Island School of Design. Mr. Shannon has been an instructor of painting in the school during the past two years and has ably proved his ability. He is a man of few words, who speaks always to the point, occasionally flavoring a criticism with a touch of humor. He first studied painting under Edmund C. Tarbell at the Boston iMuseum School and later with Brangwyn, the noted English artist. His rapid rise to the foremost ranks of still life and land- scape painters is acknowledged through commissions and exhibitions. We are certain that greatness will be his and are proud to have him associated with the school. LILAH MERLE VAUGH.AX 400 Crescent Sueet, Waltham. Instructor in sociology to the Jnnioi and Senior teacher training classes. Miss Vaughan is a B. U. graduate and has the dignified degrees of . .B. and . . M. .At Harvard she studied social service, civic welfare work and eco- nomics are also other experiences she has had. Don ' t let all this keep you in awe of her. for Miss Vaughan has a sunny disposition and a cheer - smile. Quick in her movements, intense in her discussion and humorous in her remarks. Miss Vaughan makes the sociology class the center of interesting arguments and debates.” Miss Vaughan also is an instructor at Boston L ' niversity. FREDERICK E. WALLACE Fenway .Studios, Boston. Born in Haverhill. Studied at AI. X. A. S. and The .Academie Julien. The Carlarossis, Paris. Instructor in Life and .Antique. That Air. Wallace has achieved recognition as a portrait painter is unquestioned by virtue of recent completed portraits of Ex-(jovernor Co.x, of Alassachusetts. and other Xew England notables. His ability as a drawing instructor is loudly proclaimed by all who attend his classes. His technical capabilities together with a charm- ing personality make him an invaluable asset to the faculty. GEORGE A, RICE 32 Park Avenue, Cambridge Graduated from Harvard and has received the de- grees of .A.B.. B.S.E.. AI.. ., P.H.D. His career has been a varied one as he has taught in many colleges throughout the country. .Among them the Hollywood Junior College and L ' enn State. He has travelled ex- tensively through Europe and his thrilling tales have been a source of stimulation to his classes. He has a dynamic personality and his students are held en- thralled by his impressions and philosophies. He has published several books on education and is considered to be an authorit - on that subject. EEEIE BVRO.X WHITTET 15 Clifton Road, Roxbury Libraiiun and Preceptress Airs. AVhittet was born in Boston and has studied at Boston University. .Simmons, and for one year at the AI. X ' . .A. S. Whatever a preceptress is supposed to be, the fact is that Airs. Whittet is our kind fairy god- mother. whose magic wand waves away all our difficul- ties: a dispenser of general information, a registrar of the lost and found, an inspired librarian and, besides holding the ke.vs to our lockers, she holds the keys to our hearts. Her office is a sort of open confessional where indul,gence is more often granted than penance imposed. 18 IXIKIXIXtIXNISIlCI x ixiHixiaixixixi x XIXISIXIXIXIXIMiX ISABELLA T. DAMRELL 5 Lee Street, Cambridge. School Secretary. The efficient and capable secretary to Mr. Farnum and the school, rei.gning in the inner oflice, has not given us much opportunity to know her well. She is fond of music, good reading, and plays, and spent last summer in the mountains. Aliss liamrcll is very courteous and considerate, especially to the student “in trouble. She takes care of visitors and prospective students who come to learn about the school. LAURA A. C. RNEY 66 Calvarj’ Street, Watham. Bookkeeper and Recorder. Aliss Carney keeps the wheels ol efficiency oiled and running smoothly. In her hiner, cubby office we seek her for “lost and found articles and words of advice in our difficulties. We re very glad when she comes to our parties and entertainment when she does not act with her customary seriousness and dignity. We envy her lovely Titian hair and air of graciousness. 19 Pesi i oers a in« Lfbb, Hope and ll ' na TranK coben he tJ Ss H ■� Rcjibfo. J T n Ks o Sen or Desi ners. Class of ’25 In Retrospect E usually think of a history as a record of the end of accomplishment, of endeavors and a cul- mination of ambitions. Today, as we contemplate what our class has achieved, and what it has yet to do, let us not dwell on history, in the manner of the historian, but rather, con- sider it as a reflection of what we may collectively or individually accomplish in the future. For four years now, we have been fittinjj; ourselves for this Commencement season. Can we recall the varied feelings and ambitions of that first year at school? We were all ambitious, surely, but has not our idea of arts and artists undergone a phenomenal change since that day in Octo- ber, 1921, when we donned our green smocks and were at last worthy of consideration by the upper classmen, as well as by the faculty ! That last concerns all but one member of our class. We rather doubt if many of us will ever excel his record of achievement in such a minimum of time. The class of 1925 will always cherish the fact that it may count Royal Bailey Farnum as one of its members, if only by the stretching of innumerable of poets’ licenses. 1 wonder if we recall our Christmas spread of that year, in all the glory of Copley-Plaza forks. Our rainbow dance in INIay bears mention, too. At least it showed the upper classmen that we had capabil- ities in the social line as well as in the field of art. Speaking of art — do we remember those haunting hours before Mr. Ray’s certificates were due ; the exciting moments when we attempted specifications of 22 his importations from a furniture store, and the utter despair of a few of us who were forced to labor during the summer to counteract a failure. With a new year ahead of us, we returned as Sophomores, jubilant in the right to avenge our honor, by submitting the Freshman to the rules we had been forced to follow with newer ones, of course, in keeping with our recently acquired dignity. As we grew more serious, our class achieved recognition along other lines. In December, a group of its members gave the first . rt Gum to the school. The first issue was a small counterpart of the magazine of today, yet it had enough of enthusiasm and spirit to continue to a permanency. This year, too, we celebrated with a Valentine dance, a gay and novel affair. Plans, too, were made for our class year book which was to be an innovation in our Junior year. We faced the responsibilities of donning blue smocks with the realization that the days towards graduation were diminishing in number. The final specialization began, too, and many of us turned to our work with a resolve to make every moment count for at last we were given an opportunity to show our talents and progress thereby. Our year book “Palette and Pen” was on the way to success and great praise is due its staff, and especially its editor in giving the school a book so full of news and all the pleasing individualities our school possesses. In June came the pageant, and although we could but con- tribute to its success in the most trivial of ways, we were all proud beyond measure to be able to do our share, and to link our names with a school which could produce such a glorious offering, for the shrine of art, and lovers of art to contemplate. • nd after that we started on our last year. Foday, as Seniors, we are realizing how very much our school has meant throughout the four years of our acquaintance with its faculty, its traditions, its stu- dents and its ambitions. We are realizing, too, how very little we have managed to retain of the wealth of inspirations offered to us. Yet, although there is much more to learn, we have acquired a background which will carry us on when we become happy toilers in the world of art. Our Senior year is one of bustle with a hun- dred things to do, with work and play well intermingled ! We are the largest class to graduate from the school, and on June 11 we will have among our number earners of degrees, and of honors in their chosen work even before completing their courses. Above all, we will find and recognize that deep with- in us all, there is a challenge to enter into professional life with certain aims and obligations to our Alma Mater and to our class. Whether we achieve fame in the realm of Fine Art or Commercial . rt, in Sculpture or in Teaching, we are all contributing to the glory of our class which has worked and striven together for four of the happiest years we have ever known. We may find our paths stretching far, far away from the old school in Boston town. We will meet and make new friends and call other schools and towns our homes— yet always, beneath it all, whether we think of it or not, we have a heritage of four years, brimful of unsurpassable experiences, to encourage and to urge us on. So, as we come to the end of our year, let us train ourselves to appreciate this quiet influence of the Massachusetts Normal Art School, and realize that it has always given us just what we have earnestly sought. In a short while we will not be students— but we may. as alumni, honor and glorify its name and its traditions even until the end of time. 23 HIXISIXIStlNISIMlSI FRANK W. APPLEKEE 14 Perrin Street, Roxbury. Alass. Dorchester High School. Silent Cal became President, and Frank, well, you just keep yo.ir eye on him, for he has the same per- severance and honest effort that carried the Vermont farmer to the White House. His leadership in student activities became firm from the first, as shown by his record: Treasurer his Freshman Year; President his Sophomore year: also the literary editor and one of the founders of the Artgum: President of the Student Asso- ciation his Senior year; and in between times taking a prominent part in ilramatics. Frank has specialized in the Fine .Arts, and we know that his success in that field is inevitable. RUTH IIATCHELDER 116 Euclid .Avenue. Fiast Lynn. Alass. Ruth is a graduate of Lynn Classical High School. She was Presi- dent of her class in her Junior year, and had charge of the Smock Day ceremomes this year. She has served on various other committees and assumes all of her re- sponsibilities with dignity, enthusiasm and support. How sad it will be when we Juniors no longer hear her con- tagious laughter gurgling from almost anywhere. She is one of the most optimistic, happy, energetic, sympathetic girls in the class. No matter how much she has to do she always has time to help someone else. She has what many lack, and that is class spirit. Her success is inevitable. ELIZAKEIH POSHER 217 Neponset .Avenue. Dorchester. Dorchester High School. She is an artist by profession, a litteraire by- force of habit and natural born dreamer. Such a com- bination should take her far in her chosen field of Fine .Art. It is rumored that she is quite a Bohemian, and her artistic expressions merit mention. She has proved that her application is very practical, as evidenced by the Sophomore play of 1922, which she wrote and pro- duced. W e are indebted to her for the very appropriate title of this annual, namely, the Palette and Pen. CHARLOT BRADLEY BEAUTHAAI 2 7 Milton Street. .Arlington. Practical .Art High School. .Athletics, oil paints, and Joes seem to be the hobbies of this pretty demoiselle from .Arlington. With her entrance into the school came athletics for girls by- way- of the (lirls .Athletic Club. She was a keen partici- pater and a successful president for two seasons. She has one of those charming natures which is in harmony with everything. It is needless for us to speak of suc- cess to “Charley,” for her popularity- and pleasant features will insure this for her. BEATRICE BOWRY Sudbury, Mass. Bea graduated from Newburyport High School. She is the much envied owner of an apartment on Marlboro street, which is said to be very- attractive. She and .Adelaide went to New A ' ork with the group who went there to obtain practical experience, and the clothes and coiffures they brought back with them have been the delight of the school. Bea and .Addie — one might add is practically one word from con- stant use — Bea is the soul of tact, the acme of charm, and taste in dress, fearfully popular, and a gifted Cos- tume Designer. .Apart from that, and a few other things, one can ' t say much about her. RALPH BRUNS 16 .Allenwood Street, est Roxbury, Massachusetts, is a graduate of the Huntington School. He registered here with the department of teacher training and has ever been an extremely conscientious and diligent scholar. He apparently seems to have that not too common tendency to rather work than to play- but perhaps he is just a bit retiring because he really- enjoys the favorite sports and especially- dancing as most of his fellows do. 24 nixinixistnciKiNiK 5 a X � X i s X s XIXIXIXIKIXIXIXfX DOROTHY E. BURDITT 286 Belmont Street, Watertown. Malden High .School. Behold the artist, and in more ways than one. In natural charm of personality and appearance, fair Dottie is surpassed by few. Many a gay Lothario has taken the high dive at the shrine of this beautiful blonde. But she insists that no man will come between her and the fine , rts. Rumor has it, there is a handsome youth in the oiling. She is an ardent devotee of Terpsichore. ithal a true student and a faithful adherent to worthy measures. HELEN ' C C.ARL.SOX 1 1 Sillowax- Street, Dorchester, Mass. Helen is a graduate of the I’lactical .Arts High School. She is a worthy member of tlie design course and a blonde. What more could anyo ne ask for. She works well and plays well, a combination which agrees with Helen very much. If one glances to the back of the design room one can usually see her golden wealth of hair bent conscientiously over her problems. She was known as the Candy Girl in her Junior year. We know she will have a satisfying future. DOROTHY CARLETOX 18 Bradshaw Street, Medford, !Mass. Where we present a living personification of the time-worn ma.xim; The man worthwhile is the man who can smile,” Dorothy is one of the intellectual lights of the class — and her perseverance and subtle insight into the ultimate depths of things cannot fail to win for her distinction. Her indefatigable energt ' was. no doubt, responsible for the success of the Near Book of last year.

FREEMAN CHADBOURXE 51 Oak Road, Xorwood, Mass. Xorwood High School. Here is a man with ideas and the courage to see them through. His motto is ‘‘Do everything as well as you can. Judging from his work in the art school that adage is a splendid one to adhere to. He is also a musician worthy of mention. His moods are changing, but should we catch him at a piano during one of his musical moments he will exceed our expectations. His temperament is balanced by a keenness of judgment, and a nature sincere and practical in his pursuit of art. ROSALIND CHEN This dear little lady from .Amoy, China, is our only suggestion of the Orient, and a very sweet one it is. She went to school at St. Alary ' s Hall, Shanghai, whence she came to study commercial design with us.

He is a brilliant student with just a sufficient amount of reserve. His friends have a great deal of admiration for him and will continue to think of him with the brightest esteem. He is a versatile boy and deserves all success. NINA ADELLE CREED 42 Tleasant . ' Street. Hyde Park. Mass. Hyde Park High School. A sweeter flower never breathed.

Lynn English High School. One of those mortal names not born to die. Chet de=er es commendation because of bis in- spired success 111 the Fine .Arts course, achieved while undertaking worthwhile things outside of the studio in his effort to attain his mark. Perhaps the seriousness of Chet ' s attitude toward . rt in general accounts for his apparent lack of interest in Life ' s lighter side. Occasionally, however, he favors us at some social event, and then his presence has always been welcome. His intention is to stay in sebool a while longer. He is an ardent theatre-goer and a splendid critic. We are con- fident of his success. 2G a iicigiKi«nciaixn t X UINIXINIXXIXlXIXftt J ' HVLLIS DORR 213 Savin Hill Avenue, Dorchc_4e . Dorchester High School. Rhyl was -ecielary ol last year ' s book, and no doubt will enjoy this one much more. She is a member of the design class, and is a hard, conscientious worker. W hen she is not working she can be found reading some- thing worth whi ' e. Rhyl has a reticent nature, demure manners, and a shy smile, but when you get to know her well, she is quite peppy and full of ' humor. If these years set a precedent, Rhyl is going to be a very success- ful designer. SREXCF.R EVrox 20 tiraylock , venue. Raunton. Mass. .Spencer is one of the few students the school couldn ' t do without. His good nature and perse erance in leading us in singing at assemblies has been responsible for the large attendance at our weekly meetings. He is very kind to poor, strug- glin.g, underclassmen, and makes clear many a difficiilt prob ' em in mechanical or perspective. He is excep- tionally talented, and has a future in music, also, as evidenced by his fine tenor voice, and ability as a flutist. •And we ve heard tell ot Junior Rroms, too. Spencer! He will triumphantly gain the top with alacrity and honor. EVELVX ERICKSOX 110 Carver Road, Xewton Highlands. Evelyn, much better known to us as ' Rat, ' graduated from Plymouth High School. Somehow ‘ ' Rat always seems to be joy- ous. W e should like to know the secret of her happi- ness. Often and again one hears Oh, I can ' t find, anything froin a thumb tack to a pocket book. Just at present I’at is very pojjular with certain male mem- bers of the senior c ' ass. .She i= a member of the Glee Club, and took part in the China Shop. Oft in the silence of the design room Fat ' s voice breaks the quiet with some witty e.xpression. She is a clever designer, and we are confident she will win her place in the art world. HELEN FARLEA ' River Road, . ndover. Helen became prominent as a scenario writer, and with her training here will probably become a second Jeanne MaePherson. Wouldn ' t we be proud to have a representative in Hollywood! She is reserved and has modest qualities which cannot fail to elicit admiration. FLOREXCE FITCH 181 West Housatonic Street. Pittsfield. Alass. Flor- ence is one of the many hard workers in the design class. She, too, belongs to that faction of exquisite blondes of which the -Art School boasts not a few. She is quite quiet, but her charming smile speaks for itself many times. Somehow she in her unobtrusive manner seems to get her work done on time, and not only that but on exhibition. We certainly admire her powers of concentration. Rl ' RH MARIE iriy.GERALD 43 Ivy Street, R)Oston, Ma.ssachusetts. X ' otre Dame •Academy. Roxbury. She has served on the committees for the senior tea. smock day, and the senior dance. It seems that Ruth is necessary to make the various senior activities so s ' jccesslul and popular. Ruth i numbered among the best looking, nu.st popular, and gay of the fair senior maidens. She is in the teacher ' s training course and is practicing in Milton. Best of wishes, Ruth, it couldn ' t be otherwise than happiness and suc- cess crown all your endeavors, but, as a teacher, Ruth, we think you ' d make a good dancer. On with the music, let merriment reign, and here ' s betting that somebody prevents Ruth conducting large classes. 27 r - - - LEOX FOWLER 264 Bay State Road, Boston. Mass. Leon graduated from Newton High School. What a worthy contributor is Newton to our art school! Leon and his harem pro- vide excellent material for conversation. We would like to know how he does it. He received a certificate for good workmanship in I ' esign, which proves that if he wants to work he can. He always seems to be hustling around the building giving the appearance of working, but alas! Flow many of us wonder what lies beneath that enigmatic smile with which he greets one. Is is that he has found out the secret of the Sphinx, or is he just pretending to be ultra-sophisticated? Whichever it is he succeeds in making some people feel very ill at ease. He is willing to discuss most any subject, or to give advice or criticism. Leon is a contributor to this copy of the Palette and Pen, and we realize how fortu- nate we are in having such an excellent bit of work- manship. DOROTHY G. FR. IL 2 7 Warwick Road. West Newton. Massachusetts. ‘Dot F ' rail was graduated from Newton Technical High School. Indeed her associates there must have regretted her leaving them but it has been exceedingly pleasant to have her as one of our classmates. Her cheerfulness and suave temperament will always be one of our cher- ished reminiscences. The constancy of both her and her boon companion. I ' rances during the last four years is one to be remembered. May it never be different. The elementarc ' teacher training department is the one with which she has been connected. CHRISI INE L. FR.ANKS 16 Grey lock Avenue, .Allston. fllass. Still another graduate of the High School of Practical . rts, and what a credit to their school they all are. Christine is study- ing Costume Design, and she is a very clever draper. There was a time when this little lady might be called riuiet and retiring, but wc notice that since her trip to New York with the Costume Designers she has changed a great deal, for one thing she has the very latest in bobs.” iUAURICE S. FREIDiMAN 41 Michigan .Avenue. Doichester. Mass. Dorchester High School. Alaurice is one of those natural-born painters that we read so much about. He is exception- ally clever, but a good fellow just the same. Like many artists he finds reaction in music. Even jazz! for he plays trumpet in the Teddy Bear Orchestra. Maurice is also noted for his humorous cpiips and a ttnicitie method of handling the fairer sex. He intends to con- tinue his course of study at the Museum School. We wish him well in his chosen career. FRANCES FROST 4 Westville Road, Dorchester, Mass. Frances grad- uated from Dorchester High School. She is studying Design as one might know from the beautiful examples of her work which frequently decorate the walls of the design class. She is a very conscientious worker and is one of the few persons who has her work finished on time. Aside from her devotion to her work she has many outside absorbing interests. F ' rances has a pen- chant for jewelry although we feel it is justified for she has many exquisite pieces from which to choose. Hence it is that e ' er she withdraws her oar from the ocean of human endeavor she will have travelled far into the realm of great achievement. KARL E. GENTHNER 3 7 Mellon Street, Cambridge, Mass. Cambridge Latin School. Karl is most noted for his ability in the F ' ine Arts and retaining his dignity and reserve. When all the class staggers, panic-stricken in the clutches of some unusual upheaval, Karl stands firm, ever slapping in the shapes and color-values. He has a dramatic sense of composition and should excel in illustration. He is a staunch supporter of class activities, and performed heroically in the two school productions, Princess Who Never Smiled, and .Aladdin. . maintenance of the same zeal which he manifested as a student will alone consummate our most sanguine hopes for his future. 28 I-RAXCKS A. GLr . XOX 80 Hardin Terrace, Dedham, was a graduate of Ded- ham High School. Host attractive, charming, capable, and companionable: these only partly de ' cribe Frances. She certainly has been an incentive to those who have been fortunate enough to be with her. It is difficult to think of her without also being reminded of Dot. Beautifully inseparable delineates them. Frances has been teaching at the Peabody House and truly enjoys little people. . nd on that cheek and o ' ei that brow So soft, so calm, yet eloquent The smiles that win. the tints that glow. — Lord Bryon.

She also has had practical training. Silent and chaste she steals along With gentle yet [trevailing force Intent upon her destined course.” JOSEPH F. HEFFERXAX 33 Fayette Street. Cambridge. Alass. Rindge Tech. 3Ir. Hamilton says that Joe is one of the cleverest boys that ever attended the school, and we of the tnultitude are very much inclined to believe him. Joe played a stellar role from the fi rst, especially so in Drawing and Painting, in which course he specialized. He was art editor for the . rtgum ' 24 and ' 2 5. That Joe does the kind of work that sells has keen proved by the many commissions he has already received through the past four years, so Air. Dean Cornwell and Mr. Lagatta had better look to their laurels. Nothing but success awaits him hereafter. FRXXCEXIA J. HORN 1891 Beacon Street. Brookline. Mass. ‘ ' Frankie.” as this happy, well-liked lady is better known to her class- mate-, graduated from Brookline High School. I ' rankie appreciates all the amusing little incidents that happen so frequently in the design class, and how we all shall miss her laughter. Frankie substituted last year at Brook- line High and kept up with hei studies in school. She was an .Art editor of the Palette and Pen last year, and is a worthy contributor this year. Frankie must be a firm believer in the adage, . n apple a day keeps the doctor away.” We have never heard whether or not it is because Frankie is fond of mushrooms that she draws so many of them. There is style in her work which always characterizes it as I ' rankie ' s,” and we feel confident that she will ha e unlimited success. DOROTHY HOWE Norfolk, Mass. Dorothy graduated from Needham High School. This happy joung person, of the ever generous smile, antiouticed her engagement to a Harvard Law student iti the fall of 1924.

DOROTHY HUNT 70 Dakota Street. Dorchester. Alass. Dot. the appro- priate name for so tiny a person, is a graduate of Dor- chester High School. She is a devotee of art. working very energetically in Afr. George ' s design class and studying art in the summer at Boothbay Harbor.

We are confident she will exceed our fondest hopes in her success. PRISCILLA ILLSLEV 42 Xorth .Avenue. Melrose Highlands. Alelrose High School. .A member of the modeling course, and very happy and ambitious in her chosen work. One doesn ' t see much of her, unless we jaunt down to the inner recesses of Mr. Porter ' s studio, where she is diligently patting and kneading her plasteline. Priscilla has no violent likes or dislikes, and leads a serene and comfort- able existence. Her one especial sport and hobby is her horseback riding. She has pleasant smile for every- body. and is a good listener, which is rare among the so- called fairer sex. Our best wishes go with you in your future career. RUTH H.

She is an extremely pleasant companion and has been an inspiration to her friends. Crafts including metal work is a partial subject. She has done a great deal of it and is capable. To those who know her only a little she seems a bit reserved. That is an excellent trait. HOPE JORDAX 5 Cantwell Road, Dorchester. Massachusetts. Was graduated from the Dorchester High School. Her am- bitions were resumed here and she has proven a consci- entious scholar in the elementary teacher training department. .She is generally solicitous and eager to receive her portion of helpful knowledge.

Theresa is rather of a retiring nature when it comes to displaying us snatches of her remarkable mind. She has an imagination many of us envy, and her originality and ingeniousness are far above those of the average student. She writes some unique things, and we think she would be happy in theatrical designing. We wish you the success your natural ability foretells. KRIS MAGXUSSE.V 410. Boylston Street. Boston.

In her work there is a happiness radiated which is clothed in a fragile, delicate technique, the beauty of her work has found particular expression in her miniatures which are exquisite. We confer our fondest wishes for success. EVELiX WEXZ 70 Sharon Street. West Medford. Massachusetts. Girls ' High School. Boston.

Persistency and de termination are fundamental notes of Henry ' s charac- ter. His standards and ideals are lofty ones, and in striving to attain them he has been a constant worker. There is a distinctiveness about his work that compares favorably, and he has been known on many occasions to have been inspired by the witnessing of worthwhile exhibitions. A great future lies before him. ROSALIXD WIXSLOW 222 Grove Street, .Auburndalc, Alass. Rosy. ' ’ the name by which this little lady is best known, graduated from Xewton Classical High School. She is an honor student in the Design class. Her talents are not lim- ited to art, as she has written several poems and had the distinction of writing the greatest number of arti- cles for the .Artgum in iier sophomore year. In her junior year she was the Associate Editor of the .Artgum and .Assistant Literary Editor of the Year Book. She studies art in the summer at Boothbay Harbor. Rosa- lind is serving on the Giaduation Committee. We know that whatever she undei takes will be accomplished, and may she enjoy the greatest of success in her design work. JOHX BECKLEY 23 Fletcher Street, Roslindale. .A hovering angel who masterfully but affectionately prods us on to do our duties. He was graduated from the VI. X. .A. S. in ' 23. but tew remember him as an upperclassman. He is our efficient helper and adviser in composition classes who poses the models, adjusts the lighting effects and throughout shows a keen appreciation of beauty. We all have great hopes for little Michelangelo Buckley, who has already shown an aptitude for things artistic. 35 MILDRED L. IJLACK 11 Stickney Avenue, Somerville. Millie graduated from Somerville High School. She has danced her way through school, and was the court dancer in .Aladdin” in ’22, and a soloist in The Princess Who Never Smiled.” She also was one of the cleverest dancers in the Pageant. What will we do without Millie to dance for us, and entertain in so many other ways. She is in the Costume Design class. Millie has a well de- veloped sense of humor. and is kind enough to be amused at other people ' s feeble attempts at wit. She is adept at executing her designs, and we all realize what a promising future she has. LETTERIO CALAPAI 99 .Addison Street, East Boston. He studied rather extensively privately before entering the art school. He is a sincere worker who attends night classes, in addition to carrying a full schdule in the Fine .Arts division. He is quite expert on the violin, having performed with the school orchestra two years. The winning of a mention his Junior Year for proficienc ' in oil painting, proved he had a good start, and we feel sure he is due for a triumphant finish. MARGARET DONOHUE 2 6 Highland Street. Lowell. Margaret was gradu- ated from Notre Dame .Academy and then began her art studies at the Aluseum School, where she continued for two and a half years. When she came to M. N. .A. S. she decided to intensify in costume illustration. She showed remarkable perception in doing this because clothes and the art of dressing are two of her chief de- lights. She is a hard worker, with a gracious manner, and has the most twinkling, mischievous blue eyes of anyone in the school. We have heard of her interest in the royalty — particularly “ ' Earls. ' ’ HENRY GALE HART 1 1 Glengarry Street. Winchester, Massachusetts. Graduated from Choate in i917. Until he entered .Art School during our junior year, he had been doing com- mercial work. He registered with the teacher training division and has been successfully applying himself at the Winchester High School. His urbanity is ever ap- parent and that admirable quality of friendliness is com- mendable. Though he is retiring by nature all have known of him and will consider him worthy esteem. FRANK S. JOHNSON 82 .Allen .Avenue. North .Attleboro. Alassac ' nusetts. North .Attleboro High School. Frank is in the teacher’s training course and is one of the promptest members to attend class. Frank goes about in a smooth, uneventful manner and is a stearly-going, reliable sort of individual. Frank sometimes appears forlorn, but in reaiity he is having a lovely time waiting to slip in a few words of sly wit or pertinence. Best luck, Frank, old chap, and when it comes to a race between the tortoise and the hare who wins? SHIEL.A AIcC.ARTHY 62 James Street, Greenfield, Alassachusetts. Green- field High School. Shiela is in the high school teacher training division and is a popular member of her class, she displays an even temperament and always is smiling and fun loving. We ' re awfully sorry she ' s trying to wear her hair up and look dignified! Really, Shiela. it can ' t be done — and, Shiela, please wear those cun- ning collars again — we miss them. .And despite this seemingly hard struggle, Shiela gets her work done and in on time and ought to make a capable and efficient teacher. WINIFRED McI’EAKE 2 Chandler Street, Lexington. Win, as we know her, is a graduate of Sacred Heart .Academy and a post student of the Museum School. She has been studying costume illustration and has already sold many sketches. She has been successful socialK , and the spell of the light fantastic has cast its shadow over her youthful soul. She is rather quiet in school, but of course one can ' t always judge correctly. She is a delightfully winsome person who has endeared herself to everyone who knows her. We know she will be more than successful in her work. EDITH J. PROCTOR 104 Alechanic Street, Litchburg, Massachusetts. Fitch- burg High School. Edith of the demure manner and gentle ways. Neat m her appearance, and courageous in keeping her hair unbobbed I Edith is a high school teacher training member and is one of the hardest work- ers in that class, yet is not a grind because she enjoys the noon dancing, and, sometimes, tlie afternoon mat- inee parties as much as the rest of us. Edith won ' t let many of us know her very well, but we re sure she ' s a jolly good fellow and as a teacher, Edith ought to fit into a niche made especially for one so capable, patient and efficient. ADELAIDE B. REDAIOND 40 Palmer Street. Arlington. Alass. .Adelaide is a graduate of the High School of Practical .Arts. She is a remarkably attractive person, with her blue black hair, an interesting coloring in a mobile face. She is one of those people who could look like a picture from A’ogue in a sackcloth bag. She is fond of fine music, and has a rich singing voice which we all wish we could hear more often. Her breezy, casual manner, and the con- tinuous amusement she affords the class with her quick wit. has gained her the tremendous popularity she enjoys, but would give one no indication of her talent and ability as a Costume Designer. JULIA RUTLEDGE 43 Champney Street. Brighton, Massachusetts. Girls ' Latin School, Boston. Julia is a high school teactier training member and we never found a more serious worker. We love to hear Julia laugh, because then we are delighted that she isn ' t sober and dignified all the time. She is popular in her quiet, modest way and de- pendable in all nays. Julia has a cheery smile and a sense of humor which is adequate for our purposes. Best wishes, your unselfish readiness to help will be in good stead in your profession. HELEN TICE 57 Waban Hill Road, Chestnut Hill, Mass. Helen graduated from Newton High School. She is a born artist and a diligent worker, and many a one has ex- pressed the wish that she could work as long and con- centratedly as does the tidan haired lady in the last seat in the last row. She never misses a good exhibition, and is a devotee of worthwhile things. Helen is not entirely absorbed in her work as one may observe from some of her outside interests! She is very quiet and has a winning smile. We know that she will be suc- cessful because of her talent and hard work, and she certainly deserves it. ER.M.A WHITMAN 1299 N. Union Street, Rockland, Mass. Erma’s never failing geniality and sincere interest has endeared her- self to us all. Her sense of humor is a subtle one that has been a cause of enjoyment for her immediate friends. Her work is praiseworthy, and there has been a con- sistent progression along her four years which reflects on her unfailing effort. We predict that if Erma grapples with the problems presented to her in the same charac- teristic energetic way site will bring glory to herself. RUTH S. WILLIAMS West Medford, Mass. She is a graduate of Wellesley High School, and perhaps one of the cleverest of all the clever Costume Designers. She went with the group of F ' ifth .Avenue bound designers, and returned like the others with a new enthusiasm.: and a charming touch of sophistication added to her appearance. She is best known for her good nature, and has a very frank but even temperaiiient. She has a fund of pertinent anec- dotes, which seems inexhaustible, and which never fails to draw an interested audience, and she has also the rare gift of being herself, a good listener. 36 Rutb- At n A Branch St., A lice. and RotV) Ha-on ' t cbanoed a blti e Alice, DorTs, Helen, Mari on, Elmer.

The first storm successfully weathered, the ves- sel ’26 took unto itself officers to guide it through the obscure and obstacled path of the year 1922-23. The officers were Elmer Hall, captain; second mate, iMarion Clark; keeper of the log, Kenneth iMorang; and of the strong box, Frederick O’Hara. With awe, our shivering souls desperately plunged through the maze of the Smix Smax Smox initiations and lo! to our aston- ishment, the fear, the awe turned into a pleasing reception and entertainment, we, the freshmen furnish- ing amusement by various forms of “punishment” meted by the “cruel” sophomores. .• 11 was serene on board, the first quarterly examinations were but squalls upon the horizon and December 22 we gave our Christmas spread. What pride and joy we took in the feast and in our acts, and the gifts were ofttimes cruel jests on one’s failings. The charted vessel moved majesti- cally and nobly on and April 6 we gave our first dance, intensely proud of our decorations, our favors, and the good time we had. All our activities were not social ones, however. We drew ash carts and ladders until we saw them in our dreams. The ship tossed violently through courses of mechanical drawing and the holding of drawing glasses in the air, squinting through them at squares and triangles ; thus passed the first year making a safe return to port. The good vessel “26” set sail upon its second venture filled with courage, optimism, and high hopes, for had not the most venturesome trip been safely traversed? For officers: Fred Robinson became exec- 42 utive; Elizabeth Ashton, second in command; Kenneth Morang, record-keeper, and Charles Austin, the treasurer. With keen delight we welcomed the freshmen and our Smock Day was a gala occasion. The readjustment of machinery to the tempest of a higher standing was safely accomplished and our most popular classes were: painting, Wednesday mornings. Remember INIr. Major’s “mes enfants — mes en- fants I terrible!” Also Friday afternoons in antique, how we did love our Friday afternoons!. We vainly and gallantly struggled to achieve blue pins with l Ir. Ray and what fun at our Christmas Spre ad when Mr. Ray declaimed on “Blue Pins— their purpose and how to win them.” Our Christmas Spread was happy and gay. We had graduated from the linch rocm to INIr. Brewster’s room, which we decided was the most beautifully decorated. More sturdily and staunchly we sailed and January 25 we gave our Sophomore dance, a memorable event, distinctive because of its decorations. Teddy Bears, our own, music, gayety and happiness. The second trip terminated “all’s well” in a great pageant, “The Story of Art” impressively and beauti- fully enacted at the Copley Theatre and we all returned to port with the knowledge engraved upon us that, “. rt is long and time is fleeting.” With calmness and dignity the good ’26 set sad from the harbor for its third adventure. High hearts and up-flung heads and eyes were straining for the goal ahead. For we had come into our own! The realizations of our hopes loomed nearer, brighter, clearer than ever before. The ship no longer was a lone vessel for, under her guidance, smaller boats had set sail under flaunting banners of “Design,” “Fine .Arts,” “Teacher Training,” “Costume,” and “Modeling.” Our interests were divided but our goals were one, to preach truth and beauty. Our leaders were: president, Fred Robinson; vice-president, Blanche Hart ; secretary, Ruth Smith ; treasurer, Charles . ustin. Keeping pace with us was the pub- lication of the ship log, “The .Mtgum,” commenced at our entrance in 1922 and earnestly upholding its ideals. Also the friendliness between classes in ths Students Association and their activities was a bond of unity and strength. Our Christmas party was a merry event and the trio of old-fashioned English lads singing hymns was an enjoyable feature of the entertainment. We gave a party to the freshmen and made them wel- come here, attempting to smooth the roughness of the breakers. Our formal Junior dance, the prom, that comes once in every life time, was held in Whitney Hall. On goes the fair vessel ’26 breasting the waves gracefully, headed straight, manned by clear-eyed, clean-hearted, earnest students visualizing the completion of three years of training and the responsi- bilities we assume in the fall when we don the black and are seniors. ‘ ' Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State Sail on, O Union, strong and great ! Humanity with all its fears. With all the hopes of future years. Is hanging breathless on thy fate!” 43 nixisixiuixiHiMisi X nixixixinixisixjx EDNA Ari’LEBEE 14 Perrin Street. Roxbury. If good fellowship and sincerity ever united with an altruistic nature, the com- bination most assuredly exists in Edna. This unobtru- sive young person has shown a persisitency and determi- nation in her work that has made her successful in her many undertakings. She can launch a project and carry it out and deserves especial commendation on her success as editor of the Artgam. She is absolutely truthful and frank, and her loyalty has been noted on several occa- sions. Edna is the sort of person one feels honored in hailing as friend, and is loved and respected by her fellow students. She has every article of jewelry sold by Harvard and a devoted Swain from that college. We are sure that her past deeds are but harbingers of future greatness. ELIZABETH CARTER ASHTOX 24 Lakeview. .Arlington. Massachusetts. Libby ' ’ came from the Somerville High School and since her arrival has proved herself thoroughly efficient and prac- tical. It ' s ask Elizabeth.” she usually knows, you see. Through her efforts our freshman Christmas spread will never be forgotten and her finger was in the junior pie too. The pageant showed her up as a Byzantine lady and we appreciate her services as vice president of our class in 1924. Her course is Teacher ' Training. Have you seen the complement of her regulation smock? MARION ALICIA ATKINS 23 Eisk Street. Worcester, Alassachusetts. Alarion joined our happy throng after graduating from the North High School. Her subt ' e witticisms and friendly atti- tude have gained for her the especial regard of her classmates. Not many of the particular school or class activities have been without her assistance. She has been on Smock Day and Spread Committees and shared in making our sophomore dance a huge success. A Byzan- tine lady was her characterization in the pageant. CHARLES W. AUSTIN 124 Green Street. Lynn. Alassachusetts. Charles graduated from the English High School in that city. He excels in the way of feminine pulchritude and startled us all b appearing as a manikin in a recent masquerade and completely demoralizing the stag line. He thought that enlightening the youngest generation was his vocation but through the solicitous interest of his friends he was finally convinced that Design, most apparently costume, is his forte. In the pageant he characterized a Creek god and as treasurer of the class for two years he gained the esteem of his fellow class- men. .As for the future we feel sure that Dame Eortune will have little difficulty in guiding to success one of such sterling qualities and genial disposition. HELEN BAGLEY 68 Lai.ghton Street, Lynn, Alass. Helen is an acti e little member of the Costume Design class, and we are assured that she has chosen wisely because she has a decided fondness for clothes. She has a refined, orderly, optimistic nature that is enjoyed by all of us. She has patience and kindliness, and is essentially feminine. She has certain little longings in a musical way which few people are aware of. .And to study singing is one of her fondest aims. Whenever a soft, trilly little voice is heard in the depths of Aliss Elint ' s fitting room, one may be certain it is Helen singing to a perfect 36 model- stand. as bashfulness would prevent her choosing a more appreciative audience. KENNETH ERANCIS B.ATES Cohasset, Alassachusetts, R. E. D. 1. Ken made his debut singing in the Scituate High School from which he was graduated, and has pleased us greatly in Ihe China Shop of our freshman year and the Glee Club. He is always willing to do his share and worked on sev- eral committees. Can ' t you all just see him in that Greek costume he appeared in at the pageant? He has applied himself to his work with a steadiness which has borne fruit in the esteem of his classmates. It is with confidence we entrust Ken to the outer world, where teaching is to be his chosen work. 44 niXiniKIKIKIKINISt XIXIXIXIKIXiXIXfX AXXA IJLOMS ' I ' ROM 72 Milton Street, Keadville, Mass. Ann comes from the Hyde Park High School and is in the teacner’s train- ing division. .Ann is a very calm, even-tempered girl, and unlike most of us she seldom worries, this lass with the golden hair. With equal and consummate skill her worth has been demonstrated in many ways. May your e.xplorations into the heart of the world lie as expeditious and well favored as your efforts merit. HILD.V IJOVl) 24 Chapman .Aven.;e, Easlhainpton. Hilda is a gradu- ate of the Easthampton High School, and is one of the littlest girls in our class, hut that doesn ' t mean that we don ' t see her when she is around (especially in her red skirt). The only thing we lear is that when she is busy teaching she will he mistaken for one of her pupils. Hilda is very shy and demure, but regardless of that hlls her nook amply. Hilda, you are fated for success, and in this you will lind us your well-wishers. HELEX liOVLE 498 Xorfolk Street, Mattapan, -Massachusetts. Helen wandered in from Xotre Dame .Academy in Koxbury. When we think of He’en immediately we are reminded of the other Helen and their pal Irene. W ' hat a charm- ing trio they make, and i.-n ' t it strange we so often notice interests from the sophomores leaned in their direction! Helen was one of those exquisite and lovely lotus flowers in the pageant. ‘‘Twice in a while we re happy, once in a while we ' re sad, thrice in a while the thought of your smile makes all our world seem glad. W ' lLLIA.M W ALLACE BRAXDER St. John, Xew Brunswick, Canada. Graduated Cum- berland .Academy, .Amherst, X. S., 1921; attended St. John .Art School. Wally, our dapper, twinkly-eyed, good-natured Canadian friend from across the border, has crashed the studios of the Drawing and Painting course in fine style since his recent arrival. He has been so busy drawing, in fact, only a selected few of us could really become acquainted. Previous to his ad- vent to Boston he did sport cartooning for several Canadian newspapers We may feel quite sure of his continued success and will we ' come him back in the fall. JEXXIE BROTM.AX 195 Chelsea Street, Everett, Alass. Jennie is from Everett High School, and affectionately termed “Teddy.” Teddy and Petie are the original Gold Dust Twins,” alias the Candy Kids.” If you want the one call the other. It isn ' t fair that the photographer should have separated them. (Atherwise Teddy is an intense, sincere worker and very talented, . he has hitched her wagon to the teacher ' s training star, and is rapidly reaching the heights. She is in charge of the candy counter for the benefit of the year book fund with her partner. Alay your future be refulgent with success. AIARIOX CLARK 4 Lafayette Street, Springfield, Massachusetts. Alarion is a diligent worker and her reticent nature is an indi- cation of her depth of character. Her soft ethereal loveliness has been a delight to us thro.ighout the years and to realize that this outward appearance is substan- tiated by beauty of soul is indelible. She was one of those three belles in The China Shop and really was a charming Chinese lad -. also a Greek in the pageant. Teaching art will be her future work and she will assuredly reap no small share of recognition. 45 niXIKIMI MARC ; A RET COOMKS East assalboro. Maine. She is sweet and quiet and has a charming smile! What better qualities could one look for and find in a woman. She look part in the Pageant. She looks much younger than she really is, although she isn t ver ' old. She is very happy in her chosen field, and is one of Mr. George ' s enthusiastic young followers. Theie is a whimsical little twist to her work which is — Margaret ' s. MARION A. COSTELLO 156 Taconic Avenue. Great Barrington. A grad.iate of the Searles High School and a member of the teacher ' s training division. ' tVe all marvel at the glorious mass of hair Alarion has. and we sj ' inpathize with her when she vainly attempts to sudbue its unruliness. Marion was a school teacher for awhile and decided to specialize here. In forecasting your future we visualize the magni- tude of your coming achievements. IRENE E. CCLLATI I Cushman Road, Brighton, Massachusetts. Irene favored us after leaving Brighton High School. Sweet- est flower that ever grew, she ' s mighty lak a rose. Who could not smile and be happy when Irene sauntered along in her unassuming and pleasant manner! We envy those who are going to be artfully enlightened ' py her good endeavors to follow out her course in Teacher Training. As one of the Greek maidens in the pageant her loveliness was even more emphasized and her efforts on the spread comiiiittee this year are also commendable. HELEN G. DAVIDSON 19 School Street. Dorchester. Massachusetts. Helen went to the high school of that city. Be not deceived by her reserve, we hear tell she has an appealing man- ner referred to as good technique ' which attracts those of the opposite sex! .A sweet girl is Helen who has never refused to do her portion of committee work. We missed her for several weeks while she was teaching. It ' s going to be her future vocation in which we wish her all happiness. The pageant claimed her as a Byzan- tine lady, too. HELEN DAVIS 58 Mount Vernon Street. Fitchburg, Alass. Helen graduated from Fitchburg High School on the honor roll and is now a star pupil in the costume illustration class. She is a quiet, young lady who is a proof that still waters really do run deep for without appearing to work at all she accomplishes more than anyone else. She should be called The Teacher ' s Delight for her work is not only always done on time but it is also prac- tically flawless. Helen is so retiring and ungetatable that none of us feel that we know her very well, except as the companion piece to Doris I’ost. but we all like her for her gentle ways and her shy smile. HELE.N DICKSON 314 Newbury Street. Boston, Massachusetts. Here is a girl with the courage ot her own convictions. She strives to be a painter and with talent — her fortune — she has chosen conscientious hard work as a means to that end. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and Helen is in no way permitting such a calamity to befall her. She is a keen participator in athletics, both on the basketball court and the dance floor. But for some reason or other this delightful little lady has escaped the ravages wrought by the relentless hand of Cupid, thus far. She is not lacking in inspiration, however, for there is imagination and whimsicality evi- dent in her work 46 ■KiaixmixiaiKittncigncmmitiixiiUKiaixi nixinixixixixfKf XIXIXIXIMIXIBIXIX MARY LOUISE DOLAN 18 Howland Street. Roxbury, Alass. Alary is a graduate of Roxbury High School. First thing Mary, we won ' t tease! Ve won ' t mention one single thing about your hair. But. tell us, is it auburn or titian- tinted? We nevei know which! Alary is a popular girl, and that is easily understood, for she ' s such a good sport. Only we think. Alary, you ought not indulge in roller-skating parties. We fear the floor gets in the way! Alary wants to be a teacher and is in that division. In later 3 ’ears it will be a pleasure to revert to those days when we were classmates with her. VIRGINIA DOWLING 928 East Fourth Street. South Boston, Alass Vir- ginia graduated from Hartford School, Hartford, Conn. She is taking the Teachers ' coarse. Virginia would at first lead one to believe that she is very quiet but those who really have had the pleasure of ' knowing her nnd her different. irginia is a member of a ver ' talented family and has been brought up in an atmos- phere of art and beauty. She is interested in literature as well as art and rather reminds one of the quotation from Alilton s L’.Allegio.

Eddie, orig- inally from Quebec, came from the Somerville High School, via the .Art Students’ League in New A ' ork, where he was last -ear ( from January to June), to this abode of art and learning, and he is now a shining light in the Drawing and Fainting class. We have all no- ticed the curious fact that somehow his chair is always placed in life class next to that of a certain Helen. AVe wonder why! .Art is not his only interest. He was present as scenery and outside voices in almost all the operas this year, and often strode, booted and spurred, on the stage, while his friends were in the audience. He is quiet and sh ' , with a friendly ' smile and a sense of fun which has made him popular with everyone. RAE ESNER 1 Kingston Street, Reading, Alass. Our Rae has a unique potency ' of wrapping herself in an obscure mist of mystery which makes it difficult for us to know of her doings. She has an air of adolescence that is most attractive, and we refute the statement that Rae is lazy. She is essentially a dreamer, but her alertness has been evidenced many times. Her musical ability warrants mention, as Rae is a finished pianist. She has a keen sense of humor, and we all agree she is a delightful friend to have. We know that she has the rudiments of prosperity in her grasp. ENOLA FOWLER 61 King Street, Westfield. Alass. Of the Fowler-Nolte contingency. Wherevei ye did see the one. there also did ye see the other. _ We all envy her stick-to-itiveness and punctuality. She is a uorkei with enviable native ability who has chosen wisely and well in selecting art as her forte. She has dignity, and carries herself in a regal manner. Howe -er, her attitude is not a forbidding one, for she is loved by all. W.ARRE.N t.OULD 409 Huntington .Avenue. Boston. Alassachusetts. E.xhibit A. Here is an example of concentrated energy and perpetual motion combined into one healthy wide- awake individual. .And when he starts transmuting that force into the art channels, it is indeed time to recognize his ability. He came to us last year from parts un- known. and stepped into the traces of the drawing and painting division, where he is giving a very good account of himself. AA’arren is just about the last word in pep and life, everywhere, everyone knows this genial person- ality ' . Come on.

Rindge Xechnical. Photography, stage lighting, speech-making and acting are only a few accomplishments of the talented Elmer. Oh, yes, one mustn ' t forget his stories, for they are the best in the school. He and his partner will be glad to provide entertainment for the listening. Elmer has par- ticipated in almost every school activity as: President of the class in his Freshman year, and is vice-president of the Student .- ssociation. He is the business manager of the class. He is a much sought after young gentle- man, constantly in demand. A keen mind, a ready wit. a love for beauty, and above all, imbued with the spirit of responsibility, and earnestness. Elmer as we know him. IIL.WCHE E. HART 26 Mather Street. Dorchester. Massachusetts. Blanche came with her cousin Edna from the High School of Practical . rts. We all enjoy her regal loveliness and we envy her power to concentrate. Her work is always done carefully and neatly in detail, which is indeed com- mendable. She is charitable in her judgements and is liked by everyone. Blanche has helped on Smock Day and Spread Committees and was chairman of the junior prom. She, too, was in the pageant. -Bloom on in glory, oh, Lotus Flower.” FRAXCES HILL 3 Hillside . venue, Winchester, Massachusetts Here is indeed a most charming little lady, and quite ' sophis- ticateu. for ciocb she not sport an A.I . degree acQuired erj recently from Wheaton, where she graduated in 24. In spite of her handicap of practical culture she has taken a prominent position in the Fine .Arts division. I- ranees has a delightful personality and a pair of be- witching eyes that have already played havoc with the .voting Letharios of the class. She has certainly become a great pal of ours since her recent entrance into the Xormal .Art family, and we are glad that we will have another year of her amiable companionship. ELEANOR HOLLAND 77 Farragut Road, Boston, .Mass. A llash, a daz .le a sparkle, a sheen, such is Eleanor. .A hard worker a e ' ear thinker, a designer of distinction, such is Eleanor.

Margaret grad- uated from the C ambridge Latin School, where she went from Alarveliffe .Academy. Like Friday ' s child Mar- garet is loving and giving. She has a sweet tendency to think everyone and everything perfectly wonderful which is so genuine and so llattering that everyone thinks the same of her. Her charming designs are meticulously and geometrically perfect. Her Irish ancestry has given her a poetic respon e to beauty — a mass of silky blue black hair and a pair of blue eyes that see all the fun in the world. CATHERINE JACKSON 52 West Alain Street, Westboro, Alass. Catherine is the one and only Junior in the modeling department, and we predict her future as a famous sculptress. Catherine has nimble fingers and a ready smile, and we ' re quite surprised that her head isn ' t turned by all the offers given her to pose for her head of blue-black sleek hair, and peaches and cream complexion. Catherine is an ardent music lover. Catherine, where are you Friday afternoons, usually? But we don ' t blame you — sym- phony has its allure. Catherine has a friendship with Erika Alorini, the famous young violinist, whom Cath- erine has visited at her home in New York. But Cath- erine is very modest about it. We elect you to our hall of fame on the strength of what you are doing now. BIXIHIKIStlXIKfXIIS MX JKAWE EL ' XICE KANTOR 41 Center Street, Chicopee. Jeanne is front Chicopee HiKh School. .An editor of the year book, and first violin of the orchestra. What can we say about her, except that she is here, there, and everywhere. What would her division do without the diversion she offers them? et, nothing can be accomplished without enthu- siasm. Have you ever joined her tutoring classes before exams? .Another Widow Xolan’s,” as it were. Doesn’t she e er get tiled of talking.- ' e wonder, and we doubt it. Jeanne loves music, books, and arguments. We know that she will realize her aspirations, as her achieve- ments at AI. X. .A, S, have been an auspicious prelude. HELEX KELLEY 728 Salem Street, South Gro ' celand, Alass, Helen is a graduate of Saint James High School, Haverhill. Her quiet and reticent nature tends to obscure her from public gaze. but there is a wealth of sincerity and good fellowship in back of her wall of reserve. Helen is in the teacher ' s training division, and is going to teach when she graduates. We hope she won ' t be too severe in maintaining discipline. e predict a roseate future. JAMES KERRIG.AX 8 Francis Street, Somerville, Alassach ' jsetts, Rindge- Tech, 1911. Exploit all endeavor to the Xth power, is Jim ' s maxim. In work and in play he strives for perfection. .A man of such character needs no other asset to ensure succe-s. but Jim has other accomplish- ments. He dances exquisitely he plays the harmonica divinely: he is a finished equestrian, surpassed only by the Prince of Wales: he has a keen sense of humor: sports a moustache, and still does fine work in his co.irses of modelling, drawing and painting, in spite of long hours spent nightly in the employ of the Boston Globe, LEOX KJBBE 35 Alyrtle Terrace, Winchester, Alass. Leon, com- monly known as Reg,” made his last public appear- ance before coming here at the Winchester Hi.gh School. .Attractive, intelligent, well bred and well dressed he was one of our foremost sheiks until he developed his pres- ent case of Emma, since -.vheii we have all languished in vain. His chief vices are an addiction to sweet choc- olate and dancing himself into an early grave. We hope he will never ha e anything more serious to occupy his mind and that his conquests in the teaching world will be as easily accomplished as his conquests have been here. HEXRV KLEIX 168 Alagnolia Street. Dorchester, Alassachusetls. Henry is not only noted for trying to do things, but he is more famously noted for doing them, whether it be in the studio, on the business staff of the .Artgum, or enchanting our fair young damsels in his own original ways, .Also he is often prompted to philosophical moments when he propounds excellent theories on ethics. Henry, in spite of his continuous campaigns for the up- liftment of his poor wayward fellow classmates, is well liked by all. He is a shrewd man and has a keen appre- ciation of -Art. That combination is invincible and should carry him through to his goal. CECELIA LACEREXO 501 .Shrewsbury Street, Worcester, Alassachusetts. Like the passing of time, this little lady is silently progressing through the channels of her chosen field. She is a vivacious miss, and certainly radiates the sparkling spirit of sunr.x- Italy, her motherland. We can always count on Cel ' to be right on hand in any student activity, but her feature act is in the studios. Cecelia has chosen the Fine Arts for her vocation and according to the instructors she has long since gotten down to the much heralded Brass Tacks” and should make quite a showing at the finish. 49 JEAXETTE LAXDERVILLE 2 Elm Place, Concoid Junction. Jeanette recently graduated from Concord High School. A newcomer from the New School of Design. We are happy to have you with us. tt’e admire your steadfastness of purpose, and your indefatigable energy which is, no doubt, responsible for doing the teacher ' s course in two years, and consider- ing how short the time has been since we ' ve known you, we vote you a jolly good fellow ! But what keeps your hair so sleek? We ' d give anything to know. We can see you guiding the destinies of your enterprise with sagacity and solicitude. lOLA LOWRY Beecher Falls. Vermont. lola graduated from iMont- pelier Seminary in ' ermont. She studied art alone and is very proficient in her work. She decorated furniture, too, in a large furniture store in Vermont. She came here in January to continue her art studies and since then she has proved herself a very conscientious and excellent worker. In every way we find that this young person from Vermont is a popular addition to the Design Class. HELEX MARSHALL 24 Liberty .Avenue. West Somerville, Mass. Helen came from Somerville High School. She certainly knows how to obtain marvelous color effects in her works, and has a penchant for purple and lavender. Well she knows how they become her with her colorful hair. May she sleep on beds of violets under lilac bushes, in her dreaming minutes. . t present she has little time for it. as she is an untiring worker who will doubtless obtain her end. CH. RLES MacDOXALD 395 Concord Street. Framingham. product of the wide open spaces, and the war, is Mac. Genial and unassuming, our most distinguished member moves hither and yon amongst us, oft imparting rare words of wisdom. Perhaps his greatest asset (ne.xt, of course, to his un- cpiestionable talent for .Art), is that personality of his that just nuturaliy makes friends with everyone, and Aliss D in particular. He has great facility in the handling of charcoal studies f still life, according to Air. ■Major, and frequently is requested to enlighten some wayward freshman in the niceties of the medium. He, having a keen sense of humor, acquiesces. KEXXETH MORAXG Bennington, Vermont. Everett High School. Behold the unsmirched sheik of the Junior class. He is listed in the office as a Designer, but our category of him is far more involved. He is an artist, actor, musician, business prodigy, and last, but far from least, the cham- pion heart breaker. His capabilities in the former fields are well recognized and much heralded, whereas the tactics of his d.irker pasttime, that of Romeo, are prac- tically unknown He has yet to meet his Lady Waterloo. Perhaps this gives us the clue for his startling achieve- ments. Ken. in addition to taking a prominent part in all class activities, acting as secretary two years, plays several saxophones w ith the noted Teddy Bear Orchestra, also capacitated as its business manager. We have no fears for Ken ' s successful future. LVDI.A .SMITH MOWER 31 Howard Street, Lynn. Lj nn Classical High School. To Lydia is the class indebted for a good-looking one hundred and eight pounds of culture. .Artistic and in- tellectual. she fairly emanates learning. She is even termed the class Pcrtia. for she alone dares enter debate with our renowned instructor, Ernest L. Major, on sub- jects either of a classical or practical nature. Her capa- bilities as a scribe are no less biilliant. as evidenced by her .Art Reviews in the .Artgum. for which magazine she serves as literary editor. She is a popular member of the Fine .Arts department, preferring the brush to the typewriter, as shown by iier transfer from Simmons College. MURIEL XOLTE 120 Monatiquot Avenue, Braintree. Mass, . notlier of our envied blondes. She is rather quiet, and even so blase that she almost forgot to mention her trip abroad. She does all her work in her unassuming way. We have noticed that this little lady has charmed several upper- classmen. Is fickleness, as attributed to blondes, justi- fiable in this instance? Her work is commendable, and honest endeavor is an apparent trait. LOUIS XOVAK 72 Xorfolk Street. Cambridge. Cambridge High School. ■■Lukie” is rated very highly in the Junior class. He is a fine arter. and incidentally the tallest individual in the school. Luke has done work for Mr. Farnum, and his skill in oil painting and composition is indicatixe of amazing success and fame in the fut.ire. He is on the art staff of the Year Book. Lukie looks very artistic, and is a hard, consistent worker. He is always ready to help one, and gives suggestions and criticism. His theory is that taste deteriniiies the beauty of one ' s work. Quiet of manner, firm in Ids opinions, earnest in his work, Luke has an enviable record, both in the office and among us. FREDERICK 0 ' H. RA 3212 West .Avenue, Xewport Xews, Virginia. Fred is our foremost genius, who came here from the Xew- port Xews High School. He worked at the Globe office in the evening for three years, when he first came here. He is now in the Fine .Arts class, carrying many of the honors. Last year he had a mention in Design and has done a great deal of outside work — a set of pen and ink illustrations, a large number of cartoons for newspapers and five posters for the safety cam- paign. Fie is liked by everyone for his friendly genial- ity, his modesty about his achievements and his ready helpfulness to others. BE.ATRICE PAII’ERT 65 AIcLelland .Street, Dorchester, Mass. Beatrice is a graduate of the Dorchester High School, retie” is a violinist of the orchestra, and is always eager to help everyone, not only because she just loves work, but also I ecause of a finely tempered character with a loftiness of ideas and a rigid adherence to certain great principles in life. Petie is going to be a wonderful teacher, we just know it. Best wishes, Fetie, don ' t spoil your young pupils. Petie was in charge of the candy counter for the ear book fund and has danced for many of our enter- tainments. We are confident the world is at her feet, and but awaiting her touch to show her the magic secret of success. EDITH PETERSOX 29 Stow Street. Concord. Mass. Edith came here from Concord High School and her lovely yellow hair and bewitching smile have won all our hearts. The only reason anyone is ever able to distinguish her from .Arlene, her little shadder,” is ' hat one is prettier than the other. The only drawback is that no one has ever been able to decide which one it is. She is quite a con- scientious worker, whoie mannikins are the delight of the teacher training class. 1 KIRIS POST Elizabeth Street, V halom. Doris is endowed with diligence ana integiity and a demure manner that is indeed becoming. If perchance you labor under the del.-.sion that Whalom is not on the map, you are deluded quite justifiably. However, prepare for a disillusion, for we promise that Doris and her costume designs will one day be a cause for geographers to place a red star be- sicie the name of her home town, Doris has evidently ettablished herself as one who has an amiable disposition, as both she and Helen have developed noble self control, and been roomys” for three years. 51 MATEXI-: RAC H ROTES 18 IJrookview Slieet, Dorchester. Dorchester High School, little o! the old classic Creek is Tene, both in mould and art ability. She hangs her hat in the Fine . rts studios, and the products of her brush in the per- manent exhibition gallery of the school. Mr. . ndrevr announced one day in class that she was the possessor ol a pair of perfect eyelids, but we ventarc that her per- fection does not merely stop there, as evidenced by her performance in the School Pageant last year. Xeverthe- less she is ambitious, planning to further her art train- ing in Europe. Go to it, Tene. WTLLUM DIClvSOX RISEIinROUGH Xew Ross. I.unenbuig Countj-, Xova Scotia. Excelsior .Academy.

He graduated from . cadia Univer- sity in 1922 and served overseas m the Royal Canadian Regiment. He saw service for two years in France and Belgium and was gassed in batt’e. We ' re proud of our Bill. He is a member of the teacher ' s training class and a popular one, too. Bill is very talented, we love his exq.iisite watercolors and stranee to say, he also excels in mechanical drafting. Bill p ' ans to become an .American citizen and teach here and al=o continue paint- ing. Here ' s to you. Bill, health, rtealth and happiness. FRED ROBIXSOX 520 Summer Street, Lynn. Mass. Fred came here from the English High School and is studying to be a teacher. He is one of the school ' s most popular boys and incidentally the president of the nicest class. (Air. Brewster says It isl ) The shining points of Fred ' s character are his absolute unconsciousness of his own charm, his inexhaustible patience and good nature and his willingness to shoulder hard work and responsibil- ity. We all know the stars in his crown in heaven will 1 e many and large, and if he can play a harp as well as he plays a piano he ' ll be called in whenever the seraphs give a party. FREDERICK RUSSELL 179 Columbia St., Cambridge. Rindge Technical. ' He ' lo Folks. here we have Freddie, well-known to everyone through his singing, acting, and his good nature. One cannot fail the harem that he perpetually hangs around. He has taken part in every play and pageant that has ever been given. F ' red is the envy of the design class, as he alwajs has his work done on time— and done beautifully. He has been a consistent ground gainer throughout his school course, and we feel that it is such a person who does the big things of life rather than the luminary that appears with a dash, and whose brilliancy soon consumes itself. AFATHILDE SEGEL 42 Georgia ,8treet. Roxbury. Alatilda was graduated from the High School of Practical .Arts and her excep- tional native ability was recognized at an early age. Everything she creates has a spark of genius in it and an extraordinary originality that is distinctly individ- ual. .Although she makes c ' aim to a temperament it is se ' dom aoparent because she is a decidedly pleasant per- ' on to have around. We have utmost faith and con- fidence in her artistic ability and feel certain that she will be a decided success in her field of endeavor. RU IH S.AHTH 8 Rolfes Lane. Xevvburyport. Ruth possesses that inestimable gift for a noman, ideasantness. She is one of the designers in a fashion way. and is Miss F ' lint ' s e’everest student. She is always around when one desires assistance, and is most willing to offer it. She can rise to an emergency, and is eciually capable of bearing the tests of every day She is very vital and determined in her opinions. She is loyal to her home town, and has a linea ' e that she may well be proud of. She has been the favored recipient of many beautiful manifestations of a certain young man ' s literary ability, and it is agreed that we envy her because of it.

Theima objects very strenuousiy to being caiieci baby face, but iier pink and white skin is certainly baby-like. However, don ' t let her sweet little helpless looks decei ' , e you, for she accomplishes more and better work than all the bustling-looking people around her. She has taken part in several plays, and been on many committees, and everyone realizes her efficiency. She has the potentialities of being a success- ful designer. As associate editor on this year-book she was largely responsible for its being carried through, thus adding anothei admirable item to her already enviable list. LIMA .M. TON OX 1 Cushman Street. Munson. Munson . cademy is her alma mater. Livia is wrdl poised and sensible with a reticent nature and inclination to ultra conservatism. She is in the teacher’s training group and pals around with Marion Costello. When di cussions start, especially, pertaining to Italy and the Italians, give the door to Livia, it ' s no use arguingl We cannot hope more than that your worldly career may be pursued as whole- heartedly and as enthusiastically as yo.:r school course. FLORhXC E TOWXSEXI) 29 Linwood Street, Brookville. IMass. Florence came here from Brockton High School and she is the shyest and most retiring of tho.- ' e teachers. We can ' t imagine her fiercest and most reproving glance having any effect at all on her oupils. .she is a sp ' endid worker who enjoys her work and her ' kiddies. We know that ;uccess is ultimate’y hers. CATHERIXE TR. CV 80 Chestnut Street. Hedhaiii, Mass, Our dear Cath- erine is loved by everyone She would spend all she has for loveliness and never count the cost, and has a sense of beauty that is unerring, and is a creature of exquisite tastes. She i. a whimsical humorist, and has an in- exhaustible supply of witticisms and stories. She be- lieves in fairies, and we have seen several evidences of her fantastical imagination. In her work there is a little piquancy that is distinctively Catherine ' s. She has been socially prominen . and it is a delight to have this charming person about, for she ' s deliciously, refreshingly herself. We feel safe in saving that Catherine ' s past achievements are a criterion of her future success. VIRt.L l. TRCCHE 1 Deveraux .Avenue, Salem. -Mass. Virginia, one of the most talented members of the Drawing and Painting c’ass, came to our school fiom the Salem High School. She is very quiet and a hard worker, with a fine mind which interests itself in many subjecfs. Her serene Mona Lisa face, in its frame of smooth, low-coiled hair, is rarely found far from .Angelo ' s dark flashing eyes, which shows that the call of kind fo kind applies to genius as well. They are both members of the group of drawing and painting people who are always accom- panied by a musical publication, and who carry on great discussions about concerts, operas and various artists, and we have heard that her piano playing is worthy a concert of its own. C.FORC.E VOeXG 92 Commonwealth .Avenue. Concord Junction. East Boston High School- Mechanic Arts High School. We ' re afraid it must look very odd to strangers visiting the school to see George dod.gin.g nut of dark corners and disappearing into closets with young ladies, but never fear, ' tis but business. He conducts the affairs of Air. Makepeace in the sch.ool. and the materials which he keeps in his subterranean cavern on the lower lloor are a great help. He is a member of the teacher ' s training division who has never made much noise while in school, but he has a host of friends who admire his simple, easv-going manner. He has been a constant student, untiring worker, and a shrewd business man. 53 IKIICIIt iriKIltIKIKfXIK 11926 PAUL VAXCIXI 144 Chancery Street. Xevv liedlord. Mass. Xew Bed- ford High School. Paul ' s a go-getter, official typist of the Year Book and . rtgum. and a teacher ' s training mem- ber. Pa ' .1 is the shorte-t member of the Junior class, among the hoys, but what he lacks in inches he makes up in his clear, emphatic voice. Xot seen, but heard, maybe. Paul has black hair parted in the middle, and snapping brown eyes. He is very talented, and does his work artistically and well. Paul is a usual sight around school, madly dashing with his brief-case in hand from one class to another. Paul is going to be very success- ful. both as a teacher and an artist, for he has the necessary endurance, diligence and love for his work. ALICE J. M.AXELLO 187 Westminster .Avenue. .Arlington Hei.ghts. .Arling- ton High School. When .-Alice is mentioned we think of burnished copper, rippling, glinting waves of glorious Titian hair. .Alice has a winsome charm, a delightful manner and a sweet, sunny nature. .Alice is a T. T. that is. Teacher Training member, and .Alice firmly, er. but not too firmly thinks she is going to teach. We wonder? AA ' hy blush. .Alice? .Alice does exquisite work in metal crafts and is always in demand for the playlets and affairs we give. .Alice ' s a friendly youngster and we verily believe that e er one here is her friend. She is a memter of the linn of .Alice and Ruth. Ins. (which stands for Inseparable ) and arting is not her only accomplishment for she dances like a winged little fairy. ARI.EXE WEAFER 112 Main Street. AA ' oburn. Woburn High School. This is the other one of the two Beautiful Blondes. It must be a great consolation for them to know that if they aren ' t successful in their chosen profession they can get a position at any time adveitising beauty preparations. But we know she will not find it necessary to resort to that, as she has proven to be a conscientious worker, who will certainly obtain her goal. HEXRIETT.A WEBB AA ' est Brookfield, Alass. Henrietta came to us after preambling through numerous academies and seminaries. It is obvious that she has found herself here. She has poise and balance and doesn ' t indulge in any nonsense about temperament. ' ■ She has decided opinions and splendid ideals which she conforms to. She is an amiable person who has shown an aversion to demonstra- tions of affection although we know that she is warm and loveable underneath. DOROTHY WHITE 249 Warren Street. Roxbtiry. Girl ' s Latin School. Dorothy is the embodiment of pep and efficiency. She is one of the few people in a shipshod world who finishes everything she starts, and she is responsible for the starting and carrying out of many of the school activities. If we ever pay Dot the long-standing debt of gratitude which we owe her she ' ll be a rich woman. .A teacher in the making, we feel sure that her dependability noted the past three years is but au indication of her worthi- ness to undertake responsibility in lime to come. A ' ELM.A I R.AXTES WOODM.A.X 1077 Broadwaj’ Street, Haverhill. A ' elma is a very clever costume designer, who is quite an active mem- ber of the Glee Club. A ' elma is one of the nicest girls we have ever met. and very good company, in or out of doors. She is always on hand at student activities, with a refined sense of humor and ready wit. She per- formed admirably m the pageant and also the several school productions presented by the Glee Club. She is the mos ' con istently cheerful and sweet-tempered per- son we have ever met. IXIIKIKIXIMIMISIMI XIKXIXIXJR AXGEI.O VALEXTI 38 Wall Street, I?oston. Mass. Angelo, our brilliant enthusiast, is considered to be one of the most unusual youths of our class. He combines skill in drawing and painting with an all around classical fund of knowledge. His understanding of Italian sculpture, beautiful music, and all literature knows no bounds. It has been stimu- lating to be present at his discussions, which include almost anything from politics to pretty girls. Success for your future work, .Angelo! EAIIL IRLSOVSKY 59 Richfield Street. Dorchester, Alass. .All members of the Junior class appreciate Mr. .Andrew ' s secretary, for he answers the telephone calls and opens the win- dows and performs many other duties. His work is very good, and his diligence an e.xample to the rest of us. We have heard of his tremendous Herculean advan- tages, although not many of us have witnessed examples of his strength. .An amazing progression has been observed, especially in his life work, and we shall expect great things of so skillful a draftsman. 55 EiroeT a xi rbr an-- Beitcj ancl Fred� o I 56 ■ SopViomo-re Erxzr-cise Can ne-D Colo-r Hcur rrior t_j , ippUeci . P Voia -S. X the fall of 1923 Mrs. Biggs’ little boy anJ the Little’s hopeful and the rest of us wandered onto the stage at Exeter and Xewbury Streets, which is a very tiny corner of the world. This fact is not significant for other little boys and girls have wandered onto many little stages in the course of time obeying an urge which is beyond the ken cf even the oldest of seers, and since that time most of us have concerned ourselves with the myriad little acts which added all together build up into the colossal, sometimes awful, figure of experience. Ridiculously like sheep we’ve baa’d in terror at scepters in form of Sophomores, push carts, and des cartes de report smugly complacent the while with our own uncouthness; we’ve chased will-o’-the-wisps a thousand miles away only to be soothed on our dejected return by a gracious familiar figure; we’ve rubbed elbows with fellow lumps who in years hence might, if only for us, glow as one of Heaven’s stars; and though many quite brilliant people tell us we are destined for heights above the canaille the figure of Truth points at our 20-inch pants and rolled stockings (much like all other younglings) and some day by God’s grace we might see a unity in the paradox. We elected IMr. Staples, little chap, for our president as soon as the Sophomores thought themselves more serious problems to us than all the other perplexities that hammer at one’s brain, and though he busily hopped around converting us to piracy and laying keels for rakish vessels through flights above 58 dry land we found in him the strength of an irrepressible humor and a fuller understanding of that line of the poet incognito “hail to thee blithe robin, and a health to thy ‘Cheerio’ ! ” With him toiled many who were on committees and many who were not on projects from which we anticipated much joy -but oh, how good were those draughts of deeper pleasures placed to lips often parched with the alkali of con- tinued disappointment. Isn’t it strange that we have favors, dance orders, photos, and a mess of little trinkets, relics of the things that loomed so large last year and yet, unless our thoughts be like our lips we treasure little homely, human, mental pictures, of incidents which never attained the importance to be chronicled among affairs. Perhaps for some substance to this article we should mention the pageant at the end of the last school year for the success of which the faculty generously doled out credits that we might with recourse to mummery bolster our imaginations of the glories of the past that our credits in the future might take on an extra bulk ! Rather involved, isn ' t it, like a kitten chasing its tail? This year perhaps for variety we put Mrs. Redfield’s long offspring at the helm and he’s tried to find out what it’s all about since. He is quoted as saying, “If I could only find out how ’tis that folks determine that such-and-such will amuse them and then ordain that it must come to pass despite so- and-so which might be rather of a nabob itself, then would I gladly donate my carcass and appertain- ing attributes for the everlasting glory of such-and-such.” But he means well with all his rambling. It was a delight to pound each others’ backs, smack each others ’ cheeks or tender vapid fins, as be- came us, this fall ; we may never cause anyone to hew our likenesses for the Hall of Fame, but we are indeed doomed if ever we look on our neighbor with the warm affectionate gaze of a dead haddock. Some of us are now fledgling artists and though most of our stuff is like the first crows of a young bantam we now’ and then whack lustily with eager spurs and sometimes make not unpleasant gashes on an immaculate canvas or piece of Strathmore. We’ve only two years done on our present boa’’ds with a whole vista of settings ahead where we’ll make up— who knows how but we have youth and courage and the opportunity to be sublimely nor- mal, so right reverently we should worry. 59 CLASS OF 1927 Sophomore Class Alkins, Alleyn B. 50 Ocean View Rd., Swampscott Auld, Ruth Sherman 212 Newbury St., Boston Bartsch, Walter 38 Moraine St., Belmont Beckert, Louise Reddington St., Swampscott Brackett, Mary 91 Bushnell St., Ashmont Brooks, Mable E. 21 Pilgrim Rd., Wayburn Caravias, Theophanes (Sp.) 700 Mass.

The class of ’28 entered the M. X. A. S. as all other Ereshmen did, through the front dcor, and they ceased not to be ill at ease; after the manner of all Freshmen. But when the upper- classmen were acquainted with these circumstances they speedily put about to make us at our ease by holding many receptions and much merry making. Until it came to pass that we believed ourselves to be the Sultans of the school. But, our vain thoug’.its were soon gone, our downfall was short — but sour ; yea, very sour. Our period of probation came upon us and the Sophs, in the guise of our good Genii, tried to regulate our fate according to the narrow path to full membership in the iM. X . S., but they had marked the path and the restraint was irksome, hence a long blacklist was prepared. Fatal day, day of Evil, Smock Fi)ay. Alas, how disillusioned we were. Much joy there was in plenty, but the Freshmen were saved. A very formal time was enjoyed until — the Frash Players, ap- pearing in a one-act play: “Our School and Its Belongs,” written and directed personally by the di- 63 minutive vice-president of ’27 — until the hit of the season was put on the boards. Then, by the stars ! the party revived, the elixir of life, laughter, flowed steadily until the dancing and even lasted over until all had gone home. Outside hostilities practiced upon us by the Sophs had drawn us together and we knew who to vote for in our election. A1 Publicover was elected president, “little” Billy Black, vice-president; Priscilla Packard, secretary, and Seymour Goff, our treasurer, though how he can run his own jewelry business as well as our class business .Allah only knows. -About this time our Christmas spread was given, and the time worn, prosaic e.xpression “a good time was had by all,” fits in here, for all the school turned out to make merry at their respective spreads. The big surprise was not in the grab bags, but it was revealed after the spreads when all had ad- journed to the hall. Each class, including ours, put on a playlet, if they could be called such. •After the Christmas holidays we came back to school to do one thing. One thing only, but in many and varied forms, and regulated by the temperament, artistic and otherwise, of the students and teachers, that was— work, work, work, and more work. But .Allah says true happiness is earned so we all worked. Then more work, by the beard of the prophets, turning out certificates. If some one invented the radio why can ' t some one else invent a machine in which you put a sheet of paper, press one of the buttons that are labelled Design, Oil, Water Color, etc., and have a finished certificate pop out of the other end. Time went on. the sea ebbed and flowed. .April drew nigh. Our dance hung over us, and so our dance had to be. The great Genie was summoned and he conjured up a bazar of Bagdad. “.A million tapers flaring bright. Alassive columns underpropt a rich sky of down drooped cloths, in many a float- ing fold, engarlanded and diapered with inwrought flowers, a cloth of gold.” That vast, blue night w’as murmurous with peris’ plumes and the leathern wings of Genii; words of power were whisper- ing, “.And we all had a good time.” .Assisting the Genii were: “.Al” Publicover, chairman; decorations, Seymour Goff, Francis Shaw, Celestia Whitney and Priscilla Packard; favor committee, Coiiitance Lamont, “Happy” Hapgood, Dor- othy Bruns, .Alice Kingsley; program cover, James D. Powell; poster committee, Ellen Lake, “Rosey” Rosenberg, Gus Roubound, Lydia Hess, “Xat” Xayor, Joseph Dephare, “Dot” Thurlow, Henry Line- han, “Win” Xawaka ; refreshment committee, Ronald Alurray, and all those willing to help when the day arrived. “Blessed be they, extolled be the perfections of them whom the vicissitudes of time do not destroy, and to whom no change happeneth, and who are alone distinguished by the attributes of perfection. Alay we all be as such. True happiness is earned. “Sharazadar. ' ’ 64 CLASS OF 1928 Freshmen Class Aldrich Henry E. 16 Granville St., Dorchester Allen, Theodora B. 47 Mt.

Rice I ' HE Student . ssociation was formed in 1923. The object of the organization is to represent and further the interests of the student body; to secure co-operation between the different classes, and to arrange for exhibitions, entertainments and all d amatic presentations with the co-operation of the Faculty Committee. The executive power is confined to the Advisory Committee, which is composed of the Association officers, the presidents of all four classes, and the heads of all other student organizations in the school. Every student has the privilege of bringing his ideas before his fellow students for development and adoption and each year the Association has made successful new and splendid movements. Pos- sibilities for it in future years are most unlimited. Past Presidents Richard Bailey 1923 Cecelia Hawley 1923-4 68 The Orchestra 1 ' ' HE Massachusetts Normal Art School Orchestra has completed its fourth successful season under the direction of IMr. Richard Ellinoer. Though Mr. Ellinger graduated a year ago with the class of 1924 he yielded to popular clamor and consented to come back one afternoon each week to conduct the orchestra which he founded and directed during his school days. Mr. Ellinger was ably supported by Miriam Smith, Jeanne Kantor, Edna Richards and Irene Ream playing first violin; Leo Callapi, Beatrice Paipert and IMary Newhall played second violin; Ken- neth IMorang played saxophone; Spencer Eaton, the flute, and IMorris Freedman, the cornet. The organization has flourished and grown each year. Its services have been in great demand for a number of entertainments in school and out, and the school has grown to accept it as a permanent institution and supports it loyally. The Glee Cluh ' ' I ' HIS organization was formed in 1921 by John Bibby. The next year it was led by Viola Marsh and with the co-operation of the orchestra under the leadership of Richard Plllinger, the “China Shop” was presented. In the year of 1924 there was a splendid group with Helen Blackmer in the lead. Despite its difficulties the first two terms of this year it is now a growing and permanent organiza- tion. Due to the solicitude of Spencer Eaton and others, the services of IMr. Charles Carey of Bos- ton University, in directing the club, have been secured. The Glee Club was making preparations for a concert to have been given to the school in May. It was to be a Review of Songs of the Nations. The orchestra was to furnish a few members for the concert. . s the result of this year’s struggle we hope that next year will find an interested and well organ- ized group ready to make the most of the year ahead of them.

In December, 1922, the first copy was tentatively issued by the class of 1925 with many hopes for its welcome and future success. Xot a humorous paper, nor yet a literary periodical, nor an art journal, nor a news chronicle, it was a composite of the four. This idea of publishing a well balanced reflection of our life here at the Mas- sachusetts School of . rt seems the most practical and satisfactory. In order to uphold the ideals of art and to foster a love for art, an important feature of the num- bers is a page or two of cuts of good compositions by well known artists, together with a comprehensive criticism of the works. There is, also, in each issue, a review of the important exhibits held in Bos- ton at the public galleries. I ' his year’s staff of the . rt Gum has produced but five issues, while in previous years more num- bers were printed. However, the . rt Gum this year has been “bigger and better and busier.’’ The first number was a general one. The second a Freshman issue, the third. Sophomore; the fourth. Junior, and the last. Senior. Each class enjoyed the competition of trying to excel in giving the school a more engrossing magazine than those of its rival classes. This scheme has worked well both in dis- tiibuting labor and in making the paper truly representative. Edna Applebee deserves a great deal of credit and praise for so successfully managing the best . rt Gums ever published. This school paper is a really fine institution of the school, embodying the serious intent and idealistic spirit of the students here. We hope the .Art Gum of the future will not fail to uphold the traditions so faithfully adhered to at the present. Editor-in-Chiej Associate Editor Literary Editor Art Editor Business Manager .

Should we in our eagerness to reach our goal forget to exercise our bodies? The girls’ athletic club, now four winters old, is open to all girls in the school, and it is in this organization that one may find opportunity to partake of some form of physical exercise. The tennis season is always greeted with enthusiasm and the club hopes to form a team to repre- sent the school in the “court-game.” During the winter months activities are variously chosen. There are bowling, roller skating, gym, fencing, and other sports the club may undertake. The specialty this winter was bowling. Each week the girls went to the Huntington Alleys, where reservations had been previously made. Occasionally the girls plan a frolic for the whole school. The roller-skating parties at the Pavillion are ever to be remembered. A group of members from the club went on a house party this spring vacation and judg- ing from the snaps taken “a-good-time-was-enjoyed-by-all.” Each year the American Red Cross gives a course in the methods of life saving. The club has taken advantage of this opportunity and each year the number of Red Cross life savers at INE X. S. is augmented. Membership in the corps is a great asset to girls wishing to do camp work in the sum- mer. Plans are now being made to organize a basket ball team, which seems to have been an impos- sibility in past years. However, the growing interest of the girl student body may make it possible and it may be safely predicted that the Girls’ Athletic Club will sometime cast the “artists’ tarns” into the “intercollegiate ring.” The increasing membership of the club gives it hopes. Some day the school may have a gymnasium of its own. This may seem improbable, but at least it is an incentive and gives the club a goal toward which to work. 71 Basket Ball T he men of our school have always desired to participate in some branch of athletics. When Hib- bard, the Boston painter studied at our school he and his classmates sold their paintings and used the proceeds to support a football team. However, the expenses of football were too great and the team disbanded after a few years. Basketball was introduced last year by a few of the men. Cote managed the team while Robin- son was captain. Sessler, Doherty, McCarthy, Crooker, Bassett, Redfield and Staples played. There were no school uniforms, each fellow wore whatever colored suit he chanced to have. In spite of great difficulties the team enjoyed a successful season. This year the members of the team were provided with uniforms and a gymnasium was obtained for practice, there being two practice sessions a week, each lasting about an hour and a half. The team had for veterans Bassett, Crooker, Doherty, Sessler, Staples, Redfield and Robinson. Doherty was elected captain and Robinson manager. Kaye later won a place on the team. During the first few practice sessions, the team had no coach, the manager and captain being obliged to take turns playing and coaching. Then Cote, who had been disabled early in the season, kindly offered his services as coach, his offer being gratefully accepted. The team played Brown University, Northeastern University, Salem Normal and a few smaller colleges and academies, winning a majority of the games. It was voted to give letters to the members of this year’s team in appreciation of their work. The letter is a white block “M” and has been awarded to the following men: Bassett, Cote, Crooker, Do herty, Kaye, Sessler, Staples, Redfield and Robinson. 72 73 SUFFOLK ENGRAVING AND ELECTROTYPING COMPANY KENDALL SQUARE CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS Makers of Engravings for All Illustrative Purposes Special Attention Given to School and College Work.
