IOND EARL COTE 168 Dartmouth Street, Boston. lassachusetts and Chicago, Illinois, formerly attended the University of Michigan.

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.

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

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

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
