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. Her versa- tility has been registered in her proficiency as President of the Literary Club, and as an active member of the athletic club, bhe will surely find the well earned suc- cess that awaits her. YIRGIXIA CARTEX Lowell Street, West Peabody, Mass. First, last and always, Virginia excels in sportsmanship, and extremely interesting company, be it in the studios, dance halls, or even the wide open spaces. She was secretary of her class and served ably on the staff of the Palette and Pen. Her activities in the Dramatic, Athletic, Mandolin and Crafts Clubs were prominent. She is supreme in the handling of boys, small and large, saddle horses and special course dinners. Ginny’s brilliance in the Fine , rts course has been substantiated by iife studies which were included in the tratelling students ' exhibition. .N splendid example of young .American womanhood — who does all things well — reflecting credit upon herself, her class, and her school. 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. Her faithful appliance to her work, and the dexterity with which she handles her problems, should be models of diligence to us all Her work, too. seems to reflect all the daintiness and loveliness of the little oriental her- self. While she is over here she lives at the A ' . W. C. .A. 25

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

IOND EARL COTE 168 Dartmouth Street, Boston. lassachusetts and Chicago, Illinois, formerly attended the University of Michigan. He entered school onl three years ago and has registered with the teacher training division. How- ever, he has not confined his ability only to teaching and its virtues, but has found ample time to take ad- vantage of other opportunities — especially that of plan- ning a memorial for a familiar city. 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. If you don ' t believe it just drop around and we ' ll introduce you to this charming little brunette. She has been a con- scientious worker in the line .Arts course, and has re- ceived most successful results. Her ability was recog- nized early, as she was the pioneer .Art Editor of the .Artgum, and served as Treasurer of the Crafts Club her Junior A ear.

She has confidence, poise and cleverness, com- bined with loveliness, and we know she will continue to be admired wherever she goes. ( HESTER DOUGLAS 243 Lynnfield Street. Lynn, Alass. 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
