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

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

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. THFLM.V GRAY 56 Hovey Street. Watertown. Massachusetts, is a graduate of Roxbury High School. Thelma is unassum- ing and quiet, but she has worked faithfully and dili- gent ' y and has ably prepared herself to be a sincere teacher of art in the elementary schools. 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. Dot is very much interested in the desigtiing of costumes, and has a great amount of abtlity. She is diligent, and always loyal, and, indeed, there are indications of certain success in the future. 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. She is diminutive, but like all small people, she seems to have a large supply of fun and willingness to work. We wish her health, wealth and happiness. 29
