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

He has executed several commissions, and is heading straight for success and fame. Donato, commonly termed Don, is stalwart and strong. I’lays the guitar beautifully, and has a flashing smile, not neglecting his shock of wavy hair. Don looks every inch the artist, and the modeling room often becomes the center of vehement discussions on all and sundry subjects. Don served in the World War. and we are glad he is back with us. Here s to you, Don. health, success and happiness. -MARY FRAXCE.S CONNOLLY 1 1 Blanche Street. Dorchester. Mas.sachusetts, is also a graduate of Dorchester High School. W hat a strange place this school will be when this little messenger of the Gods” of wit and happiness makes her departure into the world of teaching and promoting art. She has allured us all, and we have enjoyed her constancy and friendliness throughout the school terms. Mary is an industrious and conscientious girl, and has apparent capability and splendid aptitude for her chosen career. RA’i . 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 is also an ardent pupil of the God- dess Terpsichore. Upon her graduation she will paint magazine covers, if they insist, but she prefers Fine •Arts.

She was Liter- ary Editor of the Palette and Ten.” and if we are as successful as were you in your efforts, then we have noth- ing to fear. In true feminine fashion she loves clothes, and her creative sense has fashioned many beautiful things. 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

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
