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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
