[ 8 ] LANDSCAPE Royal Bailey Farnnm [ 9 ] Dream of Spanish Paintings .A I A R G A RET I UXSTE R K E RG 1 dreamed of a cool palace on the moors Within a grove of swaying poplar-stems. A jewelled bright mosaic were its floors, . nd there were carven traceries on the doors, .Vnd in dim niches windows stained like gems. Xow through the heavy stillness of the halls I wandered, scarely knowing what to seek. And first 1 tarried where from lofty walls tia cd haggard Saints, obeying mystic calls— The stern, enraptured visions of The Greek. ‘A’elasquez, your black velvet has rich gloss Upon the limbs of princelings at their sports. To them Spain’s waning glory means no loss; Pale, slender hands the mighty scepter toss. And languid lips command the court of courts 1” I passed along more walls, nor tarried long In any other room the while I dreamed, Save but to hearken to bright Goya ' s song A ' hose notes rose high and gay above the throng. Yet on I strolled a century, it seemed. The pale rays of a sun about to set Through mullioned windows fell into a room Miere all the walls at first seemed blots of jet, So sombre were the paintings there- and yet A pious light streamed from Ribera ' s gloom. I lingered not too long: my wandering eyes Were drawn away to hues no longer dim: Cool blues and deep old rose that flowerwise Were l)lending in a golden Paradise Where roses rained from wings of cherubim. ‘•()h, sweet Murillo I said I in my dream. • ' Have men grown blind because they turn aside To lesser lights where your mild moonrays beam Y ' ith too much beauty? Shooting-stars that gleam And flash, they follow, and your sweetness chide.” Then suddenly the twilight fled away. golden flood of sunshine and of mirth Illumined that dim palace: laughter gay . nd glistening sands, lithe boys and girls at play In splashing waves- a Paradise of earth 1 “Sorolla, by what blessed alchemy Could you transform gross earth into pure joy? You borrowed light and sparkle from the sea And from the gulls their motion swift and free . nd from your heart the gladness of a boy 1 ‘‘Perhaps some of Murillo ' s limpid grace Is now reborn, without its heavenly sheen.

Some royal Phillip smiled, who knew no cheer - gentle dreamer or despotic knave? ' Thus spake 1, dreaming still, and wondering gazed Upon three sisters richly robed and bland. They smiled inanely: yet 1 was amazed, Eor, peering from behind their fans upraised, Zuloaga smirked: “The ladies of my land 1 ' ’ Then, musing on the shadows and the light. The wit and grace that seemed thus born again, I left that palace at the fall of night. I ' pon the gate I read; “Lost is the Might, Put ever young the Peauty of our Spain!

Is ever on their tips.” We members of the student body of the Massachusetts School of Art are privileged to know Mr. Farnum. After being graduated from the Teacher Training class of our school, he accepted a position in a western state whence he organized the Normal Department. Summer schools and art work in the state of New York, where he was president of the Jlechanics In- stitute, Rochester, afforded rich experience for our Director before he returned to Boston. May he whose name will ever recall for us pleasant associations, realize the fulfillment of his most cherished aspirations! [ 12 ] WILBUR DEAX HAMILTOX Trinity Court, Dartmouth St. Boston, Mass. .-Vlumnus of M. X. A. S., Pupil of Ecole Des Beaux .Arts, Paris. Head of Fine Arts Dept. “By his work we know the master!” Wilbur Dean Hamilton, the genial, affa- ble instructor, strives to guide young painters toward the goal of Art. Drawing and painting are to him means of expres- sion. From his student days in the Alas- sachusetts Xormal .Art School, and later at the Ecole Des Beaux .Arts. Paris, Air. Hamilton has come to us with enthusiasm and encouragement. FREDERICK AIASOX WILDER Willard St., Braintree Our Dean Degrees of B. S. and AI. S., Harvard “And who that knew him could forget the busy wrinkles round his eyes.” The state of Alaine endowed us with a dean who cheers us day by day with his pleasing personality and keen interest in our work. Dean Wilder pals around con- siderably with his daughter Eleanor and she shares the opinion of the rest of us. that her Dad is just about all right. In- tense interest in the enrichment and success of our school absorbs much of Air. Wilder ' s time, but he finds an occasional peaceful evening hour with his news- paper and radio. His delightful humor is quite impressive, when cloaked with official dignity, but even his dignity does not dis- guise his proficiency in the Domestic .Arts. .As a dean, or a friend — Air. Wilder cannot be excelled or forgotten. AIISS AAIA ' RACHEL WHITTIER 99 Chestnut St.. Boston. Alass. Cowles Art School, Harvard, Universities of Boston and Chicago. Head of Dept, of .Art Education “To help the growth of thought that strug- gles toward the light, ... . such be my ambition.” The teacher trainers know from experi- ence just how lucky they are to be under Aliss Whittier ' s guiding hand. What novice has not fled to her with tales of fractious children and difficult lessons without com- ing away comforted and above all, confi- dent in his or her own power to master a situation? .And what a wealth of ideas one gets from a seemingly innocent con- versation with Aliss Whittierl It is for us to keep fresh in our memories our first and lasting impression of Aliss Whittier with her silvery hair, and amethyst colored smock, as she talked to us once long ago. about the significance of the smock. It is for us to carry on — because we love herl AIR. VESPER GEORGE 20 Commonwealth .Ave., Boston; West Gloucester Pupil of Constant, Doucet and Lefebre Head of Dept, of Design “His lecture much, but more his practice wrought, . living example of the truths he taught.” Certainly the above may be ascribed to Vesper George, instructor, designer, lec- turer, traveler, and decorator. Scouring faults with criticism of constructive nature, with the ever present “why not” spurring the student on to original experiment, and with just the proper use of wit to season conversation — Air. George will ever be present in the memories of his design students. A ' esper George studied several years in Europe, and it may be memories of old that draw hjm back there fre- quently, or more probably, is it not the search for further knowledge and for ob- servation? We must ever keep moving, he believes — for once hesitating, we may find our limbs rusted and our minds sur- prisingly dusty. CYRUS EDWIX DALLIX 69 Oakland .Ave., .Arlington Heights Pupil of Truman H. Bartlett Study .Abroad .Advisory Head of Dept, of Sculpture “An Artist richly endowed by Nature.” A W ' estern cabin was the early home of our esteemed friend and teacher. Air. Dal- lin. During the years of his boyhood and young manhood, the Indians of Utah were his friends and by their artistic expression was his love of the beautiful stimulated. Air. Dallin has today this same “student attitude” that was his when he diligently studied in Boston with Truman H Bartlett. Later, in Paris, he knew Rosa Bonheur. His “sketches” of incidents in the lives of renow ' ned artists are instructive as w ' ell as entertaining. Our association with one who is so sincere, frank, and kind, is truly mingled with genuine pleasure. [ 13 ] I.RXKSr L. MAJOR r ' enway SUidios, 30 Ipswich Si., Iloston. Mass.

His injunction to half close your eyes and stand on your head is still ring- ing in our ears and an occasional sharp remark reminds us that we are not ail Pitians yet. Mr. Alajor ' s compelling in- terpretation of Salome and Herodius which hangs in the beautiful new .Metro- peditan Pheatre is a center of much com- ment and admiration. RICHARD .WDRI ' .W Fenway Studios, 30 Ipswich St., Boston. Mass.

The frown or the twinkle about his keen eyes forecasts the ever-puzzling twists of his nature, for we never know when he is scolding or when he is teasing us. His class is always well-attended and his students are re- warded by a wealth of interesting secrets of anatomy which are obscured to the cas- ual observer. Air. .Andrew is an admired exhibitor in our Boston .Art galleries and we are proud to claim him as an instructor of AI. S. A. AII.«;S FTHKL G.

S. .A. feel that in .Miss Bartlett we have a real friend, one who is interested in us and in our work. We know that Freshmen lose that home- sick feeling when the ' cross her friemlK- threshold. Aliss Bartlett specializes in personalities — at least that is the impres- sion that her students receive, and we never lose our individualities in her class room. Working to bring forth the best in every student, Aliss Bartlett is an inspira- tion to us all. Her e’ever arrangement of potter.v. drapery and flowers combined with her friendly spirit draws many to her room ;uid to water color as an elective.

' Cowell ' s eyes and mellow voice shall recall a citiiet personality of an elusive quality which is hard to define. He enjoys the company of young peop ' e and has been seen at many of the Class dances which he apparently enjoys. .As an instructor. Air. Cowell is greatly ad- mired since his criticisms are of a con- structive nature that is most helpful to the student. As an artist. Air. Cowell has represented paintin.es in churches and theatres in and around Boston and also in Illinois. WALTER JAMLSOX ,S 1 Walker St., Cambridge, Alass.

Air. Jamison flings wide the doors of culture and bids enter all those who would develop artis- tic literary taste. His lectures are crammed with most illuminating remarks on an end- less variety of subjects and he presents them with a rapier-like keenness. Ever reminding us to enlighten our hazy in- tellects by using the First .Aid to the Ig- norant. Air. Jamison cherishes the hope that we may sometime enable him to ascend from the .‘ ' lough of Despair. 1 il I AWA MAVHFAV HATHAWAY 1409 ronininnwealth . ve., Allston, Mass. I.owell School of Desi.sn.

In the catalogue we find that her subject is Color Harmont ' . but in her class room we may include Art . ppreciation and Techni(|ue. Her lectures are stimulating and enriched with a whimsical phraseology that firmly impresses them upon our memories. Her criticisms are direct, but sympathetic, and carry no sting to the sensitive soul. In .Miss Hathaway ' s room we always find evi- dences of her appreciation of the beautiful by her charming arrangements of artistic treastires. THEROX I. CAIX .South Braintree.

Instructor in Design and Pageantry Morn in the white wake of the morniny, star Came furrowing all the orient into gold.’’ Since our earliest Freshman days, Mr. Brewster ' s room has been a refreshing corner of color and beauty, wherein we like to wander and chat the while. The pleasing decorations on his friendly walls are also a delight to the many members nf his popular evening classes. Mr. Brewster is always a cordial host and ex- tends a warm welcome to his students when they visit his interesting studio on Beacon Hill. He is a master in the art of Pageantry and enters into this creative and imaginative field with the enthusiasm which is rewarded by satisfying success. 1 ALBERT S. KEXDALL 73 Parker St., Xewton Center, Tilass, Harvard Graduate, Study at Technology and Abroad Instructor in .Architectur.-u, Drafting, “He says but little and that little has much -weight.” Mr, Kendall seems a combination of the business man and artist with his artistic nature predominant. His brusque manner reminds us that he has more weighty things upon his mind than our struggles with the Ionic volute and confusing Corin- thian shadows; however, in spite of this, he has always considerately endured our seeming stupidity and has guided us safely through the mazes of the classic orders. MARTHA M. FLINT 267 High St,, Newburyport, lass. Study in Cincinnati, N, Y,, and Boston, Formerly on faculty of S, D. Taylor School Instructor in Costume Design “Firmness is the foundation oj the virtues. The instruction dispensed in Miss Flint’s course is always made fascinating by the practical and beautiful results which are the product of her experienced guidance. Besides her technical class-room assistance, she is always cheerfully willing to help costume our theatrical productions, wheth- er the problem be a Chinaman’s tunic or a warrior’s armor. IMiss Flint has served on the staff of the Gloucester School of the Little Theatre and is very clever at creat- ing pageantry costumes. She has the faculty of keeping her classes alertly in- terested and certainly does get results, though it may seem that the Costume De- signers are always just enjoying themselves as they chat over their seams and hems. ELLA IMCXSTERBERG 53 Westbourne Terrace, Brookline, Mass. Art Museum School, Radcliffe College Instructor — History of Art “U’e are pieces on the chess board oj being, -whence -we are laid aside.

How delightful it is to listen to one who has travelled ex- tensively abroad and who, like Dante, has absorbed some of the spirit of the times which she radiates to those who would hear. .A,rt History becomes not past, but present, a crucible of remarkable vividness and llame that lives by the sheer force of this magnetic, dark-eyed woman who plays with the very essence of age and transports it to the living present.

She is a graduate of our school and is Vice-President of the .Alumni .Association. With an unbounded en- thusiasm for her work, she has so many tricks of handicraft at her finger tips that we marvel at her cleverness. She is very patient with our clumsy efforts and her lively sense of humor is a sure balm to any inferiority complex that may arise out of “slowness in uptake. Miss Phillips is interested and experienced in Occupa- tional Therapy and in Interior Decoration. LAURIEX H. MARTIN 14 Park St., Lowell, Mass. Student of DeCamp, .Arthur Gaskin and .Alexander Fisher of London Instructor Metal Crafts “Fame adds no more than does length oj days, quality is the thing.” The virtue of patience is indeed to be attributed to Mr. Alartin, for without it he could never endure the mistakes of his amateur craftsmen. He is a master in his line and is an instructor of long experience. He gives much pleasure by carefully guid- ing the creative instinct of his pupils and is rewarded by the production of many articles of utility and beauty. [ 16 ] KRKDERICK E.

Mr. Hoadley has the eternal boy’’ tucked away in his heart forever, in spite of the fact that he is a staid teacher of subjects ranging from English Literature. Science, Dynamic Sym- metry, Design, Water Color, to Story- telling, Magic-making. Dramatics and Theatre Make-up. Mr. Hoadley is far too modest, for we have discovered he is a well-known teacher, lecturer, and an author of many articles for Every Day .Art and School .Arts Magazine.

Much of her interest is centered upon her little daugh- ter and perhaps it is the same charming motherliness” which she reflects upon us that makes her a friend to each and all. IS. BELI.. r.

She is typically .American in her methods of at- tacking any lecture as she combines wit. ideas, and experiences with a rapid fire of facts. Aliss Cleaves is also gifted as an artist.

OURSELVES - - [ 19 ] Class History 1926 FIRST YEAR FRESHMEN President, Elmer Hall Secretary, Kenneth Morang Vice-President , [Marion Clark Treasurer, F’red O’Hara ARLY in September, 1922, a line of young persons trickled tremblingly into the Art school. Its sources were as remote as far distant China, and chilly Canada, and all of Massachusetts, . mbition burned in hearts slightly dampened with dread, though our all merciful Providence veiled the future. It was the class of 1926. Beginning was easy; water-color, drawing (jauntily, when weather permitted, we sat like rows of dili- gent sparrows on the steps of the Public Library or on the grass of the Common), making architectural sketches to the doubtless deserved amusement of the populace; color har- mony with our exquisite Miss Hathaway; nice though messy modeling with patient IMr. Porter; mechanical drawing (over which we pass quickly, though Mr. Ray was our favorite teacher) ; and design with our early beloved IMr. Brewster. Socially we were launched by the initiation Smix Smax Smox, bearing our humiliations with Christian fortitude, and the consolation of a promised party. Louis Novak decorated the Assembly Hall for our first dance (spurred on by our applause of this first evidence of class talent). We helped resurrect the defunct school magazine, christening it, “The Art Gum,” and we think we did it well, for there’s life in the old girl yet. Our Spring picnic was held on the Cornelia Warren estate in Waltham, where [Mrs. Whittet played her permanent part in leading us out of the maze. Last and best was our tea in the hospitable studio of [Mr. Brewster. SECOND YEAR -SOPHOMORES President, Fred Robinson Secretary, Kenneth [Morang Vice-President , Elizabeth Ashton Treasurer, Charles Austin In our second year, our struggles with the rigors of mechanical drawing, architecture, and perspective, reduced us to that fashionable shadow known as the youthful figure, though our rations were balanced by the delightful lectures on English by [Mr. Jamison, and the History of Art by our always stimulating [Mr. Earnum. Then we had composition and painting with Mr. Major, in whose presence we stood with shivering adoration. Growing pains are trouble- some ; maturity means sacrifice— and these we soon learned which was major. With glad in- [ 20 ] souciance we took our time at tormenting the Freshmen on Smock Day. A little later most of us took part in a pageant called, “The Princess Who Never Smiled,” which we presented for the Copley Society. Our Christmas Spread was held in iNIr. Brewster’s room. ' Twas a darlin’ party! For our annual dance the Assembly Hall was transformed into a fairy-tale-gar- den, where we wore tea-rose boutonnieres, danced, and ate ice cream blossoms while the orchestra played behind a garden wall ; giant hollyhocks bloomed, and the patrons sat behind a white picket fence in the yard of a watches’ house! The end of this year was given over entirely to the pageant, “The Story of Art,” which was given at the Copley Theatre to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the school. For weeks, the whole building was a w ' orkshop where costumes were designed, and decorated ; tableaux were selected, stage properties were made, lighting effects were studied, music was arranged, and a “grand time was had by all.” THIRD YEAR- JUNIORS President, Fred Robinson Secretary, Ruth Smith Vice-President , Bl.anche Hart Treasurer, Charles Austin Our third year saw us in smocks of wistful blue, w ending our ways as ability, inclination or fond fancy led us, into different courses— Fine Arts, Teacher Training, Costume Design, or Illustration, Modelling, Crafts, and Design, meeting only for Anatomy with the affable and at- tentive Mr. .Andrew ' s. In condescending friendliness, we gave the poor little Freshmen a pat on the head at the usual Junior reception. Our Christmas Spread in i Ir. Brewster’s room was made memorable by a short speech from our kind host, and in all the gracious things that he seems to find it so easy to say — no one has yet found that has said anything as charming as what he said to us about us ! Our innovation this year was the dance held at Whitney Hall, instead of at school. We being that popular, the w-alls bulged to hold us and our friends. River- side was the scene of our Spring picnic, but we wound up the year with the Year Book which was no picnic. It was a smart little item that escaped the hunting and hounding Eleanor Holland, who edited and practically wrote the book, which Fred O’Hara adorned with some painfully accurate cartoons of members of the class. In spite of Eleanor’s efficient cajolings, many of our best items were lost as the printers apparently took the part which fate takes with our lives and “cut the galley to suit the page” — which solacing reflection is quoted from Mr. Major. FOURTH YEAR-SENIORS President, Ereu Russell Secretary, Elizabeth Ashton Vice-President , Blanche H.art Treasurer, Reginald Kibbe The first event of the year was a Hallowe’en Costume Party, given for the purpose of paying a few remaining debts of the Year Book. The costume designers worked their required eight weeks in New York; and the teacher training pupils taught in various schools, half of them the first part of the year, the other half the remainder of the year. Some of us worked in the euphemistically called atelier of Madame Frances. When we returned to Boston, this lady sold out her business. She could not get along without us! Fred Russell, speaking to us at As- sembly of his trip abroad, and Elmer Hall, describing the Inter-Collegiate World Court Con- ference which was held at Princeton and to which as the President of the Student Association, he went as the representative of the school, proved that an artist can express himself by words as well as with his fingers. At Christmas we had our last privilege of being guests of iMr. Brewster in his room which so beautifully reflects the taste of its decoration, and our last dance, at Alden Park iManor, came off successfully, though we plowed through the deepest snow of the winter to get there. This little record of four years’ medley of happy memories, senior work and joyous com- panionship comes softly and breathlessly from the museums and libraries where we are digging into the archives for material for graduation theses with which we intend to astonish a waiting world. It would be futile and incomplete without mention of the determining factors of our ex- perience— our teachers. Of their splendid gifts they have given us splendidly. Upon us they have lavished time, patience, and indulgence. In modesty we do not claim greatness, but in justice we assent that in love, loyalty, and grateful appreciation no class compares with the class of 1926.

High School of Practical .Arts Tk.xcher Tr.mning Course “Bright the friendship of thine eye.” Edna has been one of the outstanding members of her class ever since she en- tered Normal . rt. She has a personality that will make her a leader in any under- taking that she may enter, and is the personification of friendship and good-will. Edna was Vice-President of the Students ' .Association and was Editor-in-Chief of the .Artgum during the year 1924-2 5. She is training for the teaching profession, but a young man from Harvard makes the issue a doubtful one. CHARLES W.

He is superbly frank and says whatever he likes, whenever he likes, with a natural wit which adds to his popularity. Charlie is interested in stage craft and designs fas- cinating masques and theatre costumes. He often haunts Carbone ' s in search of choice bargains for his gift shop which flourishes in quaint Marblehead, during the summer months. Here ' s to you, Charlie, for suc- ce.ss in everything.

Teacher Training Course “Only by having faith in yourself can you compel others to have, faith in you.” It is very true that if you take your “stumbling blocks to Elizabeth .Ashton they will be solved and straightened for you, and she is regarded by all with re- spect and admiration. However practicable, however efficient she may be, Elizabeth .Ashton will be remembered first and al- ways for her sweet, cordial smile, her soft, smooth, dark hair, and for very lovely eyes. Her loyal enthusiasm and staunch friendliness have made her a pillar of AI. S. .A. and we know that her alma mater will have reason to be proud of her career. MARION .ATKIN.S 23 I- ' isk St., Worcester, Mass. North High .School Teacher Training Course “Throughout the year, why not keep sweet.” This friendly little lady is one of the members of the Helen, Alac Co. Her cheerfulness and wit lend a pleasing color to a quiet, serene personality. Marion is a great lover of the out-of-doors and is an ardent advocator of all sports. She is a hard worker and her interest in Crafts certainly results in very clever work. HELEN BAGLEV 60 Laighton St., Lynn, Alass. Lynn High School Costume Design Course “My heart is like a singing bird.” Helen is the optimistic little lady in Miss Flint ' s room who loves to sing. She has a decided fondness for pretty clothes and we think that Helen has chosen her niche wisely. However, she is a dreamer too, as her big blue eyes always seem to gaze wist- fully beyond us, and we wonder what she is thinking about. To one who is so earn- est, so friendly, and yet so feminine as Helen is, surely we can but wish her the best of luck. [ 22 ] KEXXKTH BATES Scituate High School Tkacher Training Course “Hh sunny hair clustered about his temples like a god’s.” Ken has been very busy teaching this year and has met with a great deal of suc- cess. He is a clever chap with a very like- able disposition and a personality all his own. Ken’s hair is as golden as his heart. He is especially interested in Crafts and has made jewelry the subject of his thesis. We are assured that we will hear from Ken in the future. AIARIOX CLARK 4 Lafayette St., Springfield, IMass.

Notre Dame Academy, Roxbury Teacher Training Course “.-’li merry as the day is long.” The Three Graces” have stuck together through thick and thin these four long years and Helen has helped make this trio what it is. Something tells us that Helen will not teach long, for a charming smile, and an amiable disposition will attract many an ardent Lothario. Helen is a dili- gent worker in her favorite classes, and can akso play the piano as well as sing. It is well known that Helen is quite capable of providing an enjoyable evening ' s entertain- ment by her musical ability. Ask any Junior 1 ANNA BLOOMSTROM 72 iMilton St,, Readville, Mass.

ALARGARET COOAIBS East V’assalboro, Ale. Coburn Classical Institute, Waterville, Ale. Teacher Training Course Design Course “The blue above, the music in the air, the flowers upon the ground.” Somehow Alarion is like that! We wish that we might be among her pupils, for Alarion is very lovely to look upon, with her clear, blue eyes, blonde hair, and skin of exquisite texture. She was the beauti- ful Aladonna in the Christmas pageant; that in itself tells you enough. Her best pal is Libby’’ Ashton. Whenever you happen to see “Libby” about, always look for Alarion. With such a friend to spur her on, Alarion’s beauty and hard work combined should be a valuable future asset. “I am a part of all I have seen.” Here is Peg, one of those quiet and un- assuming beings known to her classmates as good sport.” nice girl, etc., which is quite a distinction. She is one of the most industrious members of the Senior Design class. .After four years of school life, we invariably gain the friendship of one or more of our fellow students, but for a bashful girl, Peg seems to have ac- ejuired more than her share of student comradeship. The energy that has char- acterized Peg’s school activities should place her among the best in her chosen field, and we wish much success to a good pal. I -xx:. : IARIOX A.

Marion decided to enter 1. S. Thus the school gained another, all-around worker. She is fond of crafts, especially along the line of plastic art. Marion is an athletic enthusiast and we are told that canoeing holds for her a lure not to be denied. She and her pal Tony live at the Franklin Square House. Marion is constantly occupied but is so modest about her work that her mates do not realize the tremendous amount that she accomplishes until the results prove themselves. HELEN DAVIS 58 Mt. V’ernon St., Fitchburg, Mass. Fitchburg High School Costume Illustration Course “True merit, like a pearl within an oyster, is content to wait until it finds an opening.” Helen is a gentle, rather quiet person, who always seems to get her work in on time and e.xquisitely e.xecuted. without any effort. She belongs to the Costume Illus- tration Group and is an A-1 student. There is also about her a sweetness which emphasizes her quiet personality and goes hand in hand with her demure bobbed head — therefore, we shall remember her!

We should like to be original and com- pare Irenie to something besides a rose, but we can not, so we will say that she is .1 whole garden of roses, and very lovely ones at that! There is nothing haughty in Irene ' s role of dignified Senior. Irene be- lieves in co-education and has had exten- sive preparation in that course. Her cheerful hello and beautiful eyes would brighten life ' s darkest moments for even the most dismal individual. ’26 HELEN DAVIDSON 19 School St., Dorchester, Mass. Dorchester High School Teacher TRAiNtNc. Course “How sweet are. looks that ladies bend on whom their favors fall!” If you ask any boy who Helen David- son is, he will invariably say, “That nice- looking blonde who pals about with Marion .Atkins and Alac.” Her creed is, Know thou my heart, if thou art not happy to- day, thou shalt never be happy! — and she lives up to it. for Helen certainly is a vi- vacious person with infectious good humor, and is, therefore, good company. Last of all, we must remember that Helen was an an.gel in the Christmas pageant! MARY LOUISE DOLAN IS Howland St., Roxbury, Mass, Roxbury High School Teacher Training Course “I looked upon her when I heard her name.” Mary is another of those titian-tinted lassies! Many of the upper classmen re- member that day when she returned to school “sporting a bob. Of course we like it. Alary loves to dance and is very popular in the .Assembly Hall during lunch hour! She is a good sport and everybody who knows her likes her. .Al- though she is rather quiet, we ahvays like to rememher the shy, sweet ones who manage to creep unknown into our hearts. VIRGINIA DOWLING 928 East P ' oiirth St., South Boston. Mass. Hartford High School, Hartford. Conn. Teacher Training Course “Thy modesty’s a candle, to thy merit.’’ Virginia is ' irginia because she is lov- able and sincere even though she gives an impression of being quiet. The little piquant smile that lurks about her lips, together with the downward quirk of her eyes is decidedly fascinating. Sometimes we wonder whether her eyes are green or bluel Virginia is modest about herself and her work, but we do know that her work in jewelry is to be complimented. Virginia is also both artistic and literary. 1 ENOLA FOWLER 61 King St.. Westfield, Mass. Westfield High School Crafts Design Course RAE ESNER 1 Kingston St., Reading, Mass. Reading High School “The sold oj music slumbers in the shell Till waked and kindled by the master’s spell.” It is always refreshing to look at Rae ' s smooth, white skin and dreamy eyes. In spite of her seemingly far-away manner and idleness, Rae is an energetic worker and is full of fun. She has a brother too, but when questioned about Rae, .Xrt threw up his hands and claimed that he didn ' t know her at all! (The Eternal Feminine — perhapsl) However, she find happiness in her work and in her friend Matilda, and although Rae is essentially a dreamer she is also a musician of artis- tic interpretation. F ELEANOR ELLIOTT 1110 Walnut St., Newton Highlands, Mass. Newton Classical High School Special Course “It’s her manner and smile that make her worth while.” Eleanor joined the Seniors this year as a special student. We soon found that though she has a reserved dignity she is also a jolly good sport. She has done ex- ceptionally good work in metal crafts, and is among those students who sincerely en- joy their work. Eleanor has a most pleas- ing manner and sunny disposition: she is self-sacrificing in her willingness to help a fellow classmate and has won many friends during her short stay among us. ADELE GOODYEAR 178 Morgan St., Holyoke, Mass. Holyoke High School Special, Teacher Training Course “ aiight hut firmness gains the prize, naught but julncss makes us wise.” Enola has been a bit lonesome since losing her Catherine Knox who went to California, but has consoled herself with her beautiful work in Metal Crafts or the movies, for which she has a weakness. She courageously made her way through the blizzard which added pep to the Senior Dance at .Alden Park lanor. Enola has a dignified reserve which makes us almost afraid of her, but when she occasionally pauses from her intensively skillful pro- jects in Mr. Martin ' s domain to scatter a helpful hint to the embryo craftsman, we wish that we might know her better. “The mild eyes upraised that knew.” With her brilliant wit and ability as an imitator. .Vdele can move the most solemn to laughter. Those who witnessed the Chinese pageant can testify to her humor- ous portrayal of the Doctor, and her lightning change into a most spritely dancer. Dele’s” practice teaching does not prevent long hours of painting and it is not unusual to see her on her way to the fourth floor with much canvas and a paintbox that rivals her small self in size. With her ever ready wit, she will always be popular, and her conscientious work will bring her good fortune. BLAXCHE HART 26 Mather St.. Dorchester, Mass.

We can hardly speak of her without mentioning Edna, but we will do our best, Blanche came from Practical . rts (we thank you, P,.A,), and is a member of the Teacher Training Division, She could hold any class by her pleasing personality, but the gods were generous, and bestowed upon her cleverness as well as charm, and, by the way, charm is a most appropriate word to describe Blanche, 52 West Main St,, Westboro, Mass, Westboro High School Sculpture Course “Speak to the earth and it shall teach thee ' ' One ' s impressions of this very delightful person are essentially stimulating. Her charm does not end with lovely eyes, sleek blue-black hair, and a complexion fit for any goddess, but is enhanced by a serene graciousness, an attentiveness, and a soft, well-modulated voice that leaves one with a feeling of genuine satisfaction, Catherine is an ardent lover of music and Symphony Hal! is her favorite rendezvous. As a pro- tege of Mr, Dallin, her creative ability is apparent in the very good work she does in the modelling room, “Create, Artist — ’Tis God’s gift,” ELMER H.ALL 550 Franklin St,, Cambridge, Mass, Rindge Technical School Design Course “How dull it is to pause, to make an end, to rust unhurnished, not to shine in use.” Very few of us seem to realize what op- portunities hang ripe for plucking. It can not be said that Elmer does not belong in this category, for his keen mind has seized every opportunity to develop mentaliy as well as aesthetically, Elmer is a lover of beauty: he is witty, versati ' e, and friend ' y . mong his accomplishments are design- ing, photography, speech-making, organiz- ing, stage-lighting and co-education,” He is prominent in school affairs and as Presi- dent of the Student .Association, Elmer is greatly interested in student activities from the standpoint of a layman who is advocat- ing a c’oser cooperation of student bodies with industrial representatives and the pub- lic in general. Indeed it was fitting that this earnest young man represented the school at the National Collegiate World Court Conference held at Princeton. ’26 [ 26 ] ELEANOR HOLL.AND 65 I’leasant Street, Brookline, Mass.

' We know that the fairies waved their wands and said, Beauty ' ’ when they danced around her cradle. She is just an- other reason why our school should be proud. Eleanor has a voice, too, as lovely in speaking as in singing. Lest we lead one to think that she is merely ornamental, we hasten to remind you that Eleanor is very clever, and one of the brightest pros- pects among our Designers. JEANNE EUNICE KANTOR 41 Center St..

Jeanne loves to argue. .As we all know, Jeanne has been to Paris! We can hardly describe Jeanne, as she herself claims that a French hat is absolutely necessary to give one a sophisticated air when the hair is sleek and drawn back to show the ears. Jeanne believes in new personalities! .She is very active and accomplishes a great deal of work. She was Class Editor of the .Art Gum ' and was on the staff of the Palette and Pen of 1925. Her love for bonks and music is ejuite evident, and it is said that Jeanne is a connoisseur of ame- thysts. Let us hope that our clever Jeanne will always keep her enthusiasm actively alive.

Helen is quite a color scheme herself with her reddish- blonde hair which she sets off by combin- ing with shades of purple and lavender. We admit that this combination is very becom- ing to her Titian coloring. Helen is an earnest worker, and we have no fears for her future success. TE.AX L.

Matilda’s work also has that same individuality about it, a bit of the genius if you will, together with an un- usual imagination and originality for cre- ation. However, Matilda is unspoiled. She likes to attend dances, to design her own frocks, and to dig into books” that are rather deep for most of us. Further- more Matilda was one of the .Art Editors of the Palette and Pen, 1925, which proves that temperament or not. Alatilda is O K. . sk Kae Esner! THELALA SUXDLIE 41 Line St., Cambridge, Mass.

Ruth is a friendly sort with a beautiful, beaming smile that is irrisistable and we shall certainly miss her very much! — “Such a one do I remember, whom to took at was to love.” Thelma is sweetness personified and her sunny disposition brings joy to all with whom she comes in contact. Thelma’s hair is golden and her delicate pink and white- ness reminds one of a beautiful child. How- ever, Thelma is efficient and manages to accomplish a great deal on committees, plays, etc. She was .Associate Editor of the Palette and Pen edited in 1925. Thel- ma’s daintiness and vivid imagination are reflected in her work, which is as delicate as a cameo in its interpretation and e.xecu- tion. [ 30 ] ! 1 Deveraux Ave..

St. James High School. Haverhill Teacher Training Course Drawing and Painting Course “Some work oj a noble note may yet be done.” Edward has always been recognized as the cleverest member in our class and we are justly proud of his work. During his Sophomore year, he ran away for awhile and studied in New York, where he was a pupil of Bridgman, returning to us later as a special student. Through the in- fluence of Mr. Major, he has accepted sev- eral commissions for charcoal portraits of prominent people, among them being one of Air. Major himself. Edward has dis- tinctive technique and is among our most promising students. He is going abroad this summer and plans to do extensive fur- ther study. .A serious and earnest worker, but also an all-around fellow who enjoys a good time, we wish for him the best that life holds. “Be mine a philosopher’s lije in the quiet woodland ways.” Helen is another of our pretty little “red heads.” but unlike the usual significance of her coloring, she belongs to the demurely quiet of our number. Her intimate friends are aware of her friendly, helpful nature and sincerity. .As a teacher, Helen will, no doubt, gain the love and respect of her pupils, because she has a rather wistful charm that is most pleasing.

She has built up a rather stoical philosophy of life and simply goes ahead taking things as they come, work, play, dancing, athletics (es- pecially basket-ball!), each of which she tackles with a vigorous energy that is as- tonishing. She never worries — imagination, originality, a little work, pouf! — the thing is done! She is very refreshing and re- minds one of Helen Wills. If you don ' t know her you cannot appreciate what a good fellow Helen really is. .ANGELO YALENTI 32 Wall St., Boston, Alass. English High School.

Rich in artistic feeling, clever in interpreta tion and execution, .Angelo ' s half visualized dreams hold promise of a glorious awaken- ing yet to come. Speech, to .Angelo, is like music and words to him express pic- tures in feeling. For this reason perhaps, he has turned to Omar Khayyam for aesthetic satisfaction. Nevertheless, .An- gelo is very democratic and has a vast store of everyday knowledge, varying from politics to domestic arts. His dark, flash- ing eyes and vivid face seem to leap into life whenever he enters into an animated conversation, but they linger with a softer glow where a certain Alona Lisa-like per- son sits serenely within his circle.

Suddenly, in the far distance a small cloud of sand could be seen. Nearer and nearer it came, until a band of men and women could be distinguished, coming from the North, the South, East and West. Timidly did they hurry along. Attracted by a beautiful green oasis they halted. The cool and quiet spot appealed to their artistic souls and they decided to remain. Realizing the need of leaders and organization they chose Roy Staples, Chief-of-the-Clan, Earl Bassett as his Councilor, Beatrice Lord, Keeper of the papyrus rolls, and Frank Kean, Chief-of-the-Exchequer. They named their clan FRESHMEN. Having gained confidence by their progress under such able leadership the Clan did venture to have a celebration, to which they invited their neighboring tribesmen. The women did don costumes, on which for many days they had been laboring, the men came in their usual color- ful dress. Great was the rejoicing throughout the Clan, when news spread over the desert that their celebration had been a success. It came to pass before many moons that the neighboring clans, aroused to admiration by the remarkable FRESHMAN Clan, invited that Clan to join with them in a huge spectacular pageant to take place in the desert, before a multitude of onlookers. We may verily say, that the FRESHiMAN Clan helped to make the pageant one that will go down in history. All the Clan loved beauty and they strove to acquire it in all they did. In order to attain this prize they knew that they must study many subjects which seemed dull and uninteresting— but being an ambitious tribe they accomplished all the work assigned to them. It was not long, sad to relate, when their oasis began to turn brown and parched, and sorrowfully the Clan left their habitation and sought another haven. On reaching their next resting place, they changed their name to SOPHOMORE. The com- pany advanced in civilization under their tall Chieftain, Scranton Redfield ; assisted by Alice Mansfield, with Beatrice Lord still recording and .Albert McGunigle, Keeper-of-the-M ' ealth. It was the privilege of this Clan of SOPHOMORtiS to make welcome any new tribes that by chance should w ' ander into the desert to live. They gave feasts and played games in their honor, and acquainted them with the older tribesmen. Representatives from every clan and tribe in the desert were sent to the Council-of-all Tribes where they made laws which were to better the clans in the desert. The tribe of 1927 was found to have developed a highly literary taste and talent, and as an outlet for its flow of genius and also to commemorate its mighty deeds, members of the Clan did spend much time inscribing upon papyrus rolls, entitled “Art Gum.” Xew to 1927 was the most sage and able wise man. Chief Cain. IMiles had he tramped through the heat and sand-storms, from a dis- tant part of the desert, to guide the SOPHOiMORES in the mysterious study of Perspective. The Clan still lived up to its reputation of giving spectacular and interesting feasts and enter- tainments. It did seem but like a moment before this band of nomads were again in search of another home in a more fertile part of the desert. After wandering many hot and weary miles they suddenly came upon a beautiful oasis and under its shady palms they pitched their tents. This time the tribe called themselves JUXIORS. Stanley Sessler had proved a powerful tribes- man and they now chose him for Councilor-in-Chief : Albert i ' dcGunigle, his Advisor; Laurence Kittredge, Keeper-of-the-Wealth, and Katherine Lincoln did record on the papyrus rolls. The tribe divided itself into smaller clans and each felt an added responsibility to better the Clan of 1927, and so did go about his work most seriously. The clans progressed rapidly, and works of Art such as never before had been seen, were produced by them. They aroused the envy and surprised admiration of all the clans in the desert. X ews of the beauty and originality of their - rt reached even to the more civilized world. The curiosity of the people in that world was so great that they did come in haste, driving across the desert in their horseless carriages, to find the Wonderful tribe of 1927. Xeither pleas nor threats were of any avail in inducing the tribe to leave their desert. The tribe did decide amongst themselves to lead their nomad life for one more year, before seeking adventure in the civilized world. [ 36 ] HELEN ABELL Milton. Mass. Milton High School.

Do you remember our dignified Chorus reader’’ of the Chinese Pageant, and wasn ' t his picture in the paper? Great artistic feeling and ro- mance play a great part in his tastes as expressed in his design, his composi- tion, and his brilliant water colors with a power and vigor that bear, a spark of .genius.

In spite of this, he is a jolly good fellow — a modest young man. who hopes to gather in a fat pay envelope through the medium of commercial design. His work, by the way, is the pride, the joy. and the despair of the design class. He is a wizard with his water colors and also a clever caricaturist. (X.B.) Faculty Car- toons!) Sometime we marvel at his thoughful expression and wonder just what he thinks of us anyway. “Modesty is a becoming ornament to a young man.

He is very well read and it is an established fact that he reads not only deep books but those which are hard to acquire. His favorite indoor sport is hiking, which is confined to the Blue Hills on holidays.

His greatest responsi- bility is in being the Class Treasurer, whereas his greatest delight and one real hobby lies in the intricacies of spontaneous piano-playing.

Peggy went to Bates College for a year, and then decided that she wanted to study art. She is a very conscientious worker, but seems to find time to read and sing. Scotch songs, jade elephants, and Teddy,” a little bear from Maine, are among Peggy’s de- lights.

It has been said that Roy is an ardent devotee of horse-back riding and upon being interviewed, he explained this by saying, “with legs like mine, it would be dying in the face of a generous Provi- dence to drive a car.

Di Guisto likewise possesses a voice of great promise. .A true artist in every way. we are proud to be among this earnest young man ' s host of ad- mirers. [ 51 ] The Second Year 1928 CLASS OFFICERS President Henry R. Lineiian Secretary Ellen R. Lake Vice-President Priscilla Packard T reasurer Seymour R. Goff HIS is a plotless tale of the merry Sophomores. Not only is it plotless, it is endless— the worst is yet to come. Once upon a time, a band of students, so-called because they worked industriously, hastened to school bright and early in the morning, eager to find an audience apprecia- tive of the brilliant affairs of the summer vacation. L’pon registering, these chosen people pondered long upon a most serious problem: to model or not to model. The ayes had it. But when it came to picking divisions the air was rent by the shattering shrieks and shredding sobs of anguished loved ones, parting never to meet again- except during rest periods. The scene is too touching to recall, let us tip-toe softly into the next paragraph. Came weeks. Weeks went. Smock day arrived. The chosen people, together with the other upper classmen, were sitting, gentle reader, sitting on chairs about the great hall. The vast room was newly filled with the blazing glory of the Freshman green. Mr. Hoadley made a comic speech that will chortle forever down the somber corridors of i LS.. . Came the play, after a few minutes intermission. Was it good? Delicious as the tarts that the Lady Violetta did not make I The Sophomore dance a la Boheme was the next “greatest social event of the season,” ac- cording to some exuberant but anonymous manufacturer of posters. They always are, but per- haps this one was. It has been whispered about that certain parties especially enjoyed themselves. .Also little Betty Lane, copiously disguised as a palmist, caused considerable enter- tainment. In spite of the fact that the presents we started to concoct in Crafts did not get finished, Christmas loomed just two twenty-fours ahead and the Day of the Spread and the Pageant arrived. The feast was set in Miss Hathaway’s room for the chosen people and their guests, Miss Bartlett, Aliss Hathaway, Miss Munsterberg, Mr. and Mrs. Ray, and Mr. O’Donnell. .Amidst the confused clamor of hoarse chorus, keen cutlery, and the screams incited by misfitting Christmas presents, the food disappeared very rapidly. Our instructors made short and sugared speeches over the ice-cream. Miss Munsterberg charmed us with her description of a big, blue eyed, golden haired doll she had received from Santa Claus when she was very young. The Farnums popped in and out, also the Cains. Air. Wilder told us a whopper that wouldn’t go down. The chosen people trooped upstairs into a hall crowded with a small multitude who were waiting to see the Pageant. After much waiting and more waiting— the lights went out. The four gray chroniclers appeared and the play began. The first, the exotic Egyptian episode, was enacted by members of the Freshman Class. The Sophomores presented two scenes from the life of Buddha, vibrant with the perfumed mystery of the East. The Norse episode, by the Juniors, was cold and vigorous by contrast. The Seniors pictured the beautiful and ever inspiring scene at the man- ger, the birth of Christ. Of course the Sophomores were best, but that is no reflection on the rest. January sped by the chosen people, and February and Alarch. End of the quarter, exams, end of perspective, a too brief vacation, atrocious new programs. The merry Sophomores were no longer happy. Besides all our other tribulations, Alildred Ellis and Aladelain Kroll left us flat. But with the annual advent of the balloon man on the corner of Dartmouth Street and Common- wealth .Avenue, we gained a renewed interest in life. Spring, the eternal hope— we said this would be endless so we’d better stop. See you in next year’s Year Book. Sophomore Enrollment Aldrich, Henry E.

A solemn stillness, a kind of awe, filled the room. Perhaps, because it was their first meeting here; perhaps it was the inspiring grandeur and loftiness of the statues about the hall, or was it because they found themselves in a new atmosphere which was saturated with the strange, inspiring sublimity of Art ? Be this as it may, these members of the Freshman class have never at any subsequent concourse, reacted in just the same manner as they did upon that memorable day in anticipa- tion of their enrollment as students of the Massachusetts School of Art. Finally it was over. Our schedules had been signed. We were the Freshman Class ! Soon the ice was broken and we fell in — into the co-operative feeling of good-fellowship and happiness in our daily assignments. This spirit between pupils and instructors was mutual from the first. Friendships sprung up with incredible swiftness. Immediately every one knew everyone else and everyone else knew every one- and vice versa. The Sophomores in particu- lar, proved themselves unusually “brotherly and helpful” — “botherly and hellful” perhaps, and as friendships were growing closer, just to firmly establish the “grotesqueness” of each one in the mind of everyone else, the caricature contest was introduced. And what some people didn’t think about themselves ! Many of the drawings were “too funny for words” and anyhow, even if they weren’t, this is a very serious account of the Freshmen in the retrospect. The prize was awarded, quite expectedly, to a Freshman, iNIax Gorodnitsky, by name, who drew a perfectly beautiful pic- ture — of himself. However, Max says that he would have drawn just as handsome a picture of any- one else, only, of course, it had to be of himself. Max is acquitted! Sophomores, to your ideas of initiation we take our hats off— perhaps this was one of the reasons you gave them to us. Maybe some Sophomore peeped between the covers of Michael . rlen’s “Green Hat.” How that Sophomore was inspired! But, “for mercy’s sake”— with Mr. [ 56 ] .S ' Cowell’s permission we hope— what Sophomore was inspired with the idea of the “kid curls” a la Topsy? What an opportunity for the girls! For a day ribbons were to be seen around “every hair” -and on the following day there came an influx of waves. -And then, lo and behold, somebody I must say it was a Sophomore hinted of the “Six- week Elimination Examinations.” These portended something dire and were like the pendant thought of an incubus, a bete noir. A stolid fear seized the class. The words “Show Ale the Way to Go Home” caused a start accompanied with cold shivers. However, according to the temporal laws, six weeks are just so many days, and so the Spectre of Destruction in due time departed, leaving the former spirit of the Class to go marching on. To march on successfully, we needed leadership, and thus, under the chairmanship of Mr. Elmer Hall, the election of class officers was held. The results were: President, Ralph Shepherd; ' ice-President, Eleanor Wilder; Secretary, Lincoln Levinson, and Treasurer, Floyd Hardy. .At the assembly of November 18 , the talents of the Freshman Class furnished the program. It was very entertaining and furnished a little of the vocal, the instrumental, and the terpsi- chorean arts, all very pleasingly arranged and presented. .At the Freshman Christmas Spread a “great time was had by all.” .A scintillating joy beamed upon each face, giving to the occasion a happy atmosphere. It was the proverbial “Santa Claus’s whiskers” — if you don’t think so, you weren’t there. We had a Santa Claus “ ’n every- thing.” — Alistletoe? — Sure! hTw were the misses who missed the mistletoe — and “it was all their own fault!” Ask the man who owned one — a branch of mistletoe! Our class was now very, very well established ! In the afternoon, a Christmas Pageant of the Four Sacred Mysteries was presented by the combined classes of our school, each class portraying an episode. The first of the four epi- sodes, pertaining to Egypt, entitled “The Alysteries of Isis,” was given by the Freshman Class. The entire pantomime was very charming and admirable; inspiring throughout, it left in the minds of the audience a beautiful impression. These doings of the Freshman Class are but the glimmerings of a light which shall from year to year grow brighter, more constant with with the changing of the color of its flame.

The first institution of its kind in America, we have been known for fifty-two years as the Massa- chusetts Normal Art School. We are pleased with our new name and we feel that it may be of interest to our students to know something of the reason for the change. To those who may be curious concerning the “whys and wherefores,” the following information from our school records may be of interest. 1. The word “Normal” signifies a general type of Normal School or Teacher Training Institution in the minds of most people, in spite of the added term “Art.” 2. As one of the ten Normal Schools its peculiar needs and requirements naturally have been considered in comparison with the other nine. 3. It is now erroneously classified by the Washington Bureau of Education as a Teachers’ College. 4. Its position is hampered and weakened among college art departments and art schools. 5. Its desire to serve the general public, industry, commerce and merchandising is handicapped through misunderstanding because of its name. 6. Many parents and students turn away from the school not realizing that it is a state School of Art. Today the School is as distinct and different from a normal school as is the Lowell Textile School of the College of Agriculture. The word normal school should be eliminated or substituted by another phrase. The following names were offered for consideration : Massachusetts Institute of Art Massachusetts Art Institute Massachusetts School of Art State School of Art Massachusetts College of Art Massachusetts Art School State Institute of Art The Art Institute of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts r fio I I I I I i I The Advisory Board ' ’’T HE executive power of the Student Association is confined to the Advisory Board, which is composed of the Student Association officers, the presidents of all four classes, the heads of all other student organizations in the school, and two faculty advisors. This Advisory Board meets once a month to discuss and to bring to the attention of the Student Association such problems as are deemed worthy of consideration. . mong the more prominent individual organizations that form the Association are the staff of the “Art Gum,” which is our school publication and the voice of the student body (from a meagre beginning, the “Art Gum” has developed into a creditable paper and one that the school is well proud of) ; the Orchestra and the Glee Club, which are often called upon for musical entertainment ; the Girls’ Athletic Club, which commands the interest of the girl students, and the Boys’ Basketball Team which has the support of the school and has been in competition with other schools and colleges of the state. These various organizations deserve a great deal of credit for the results obtained when one considers the handicaps under which they are work- ing. We have not the facilities and advantages of other state schools and it is hoped that when a new building is provided for, due consideration and attention will be given such worthy organi- zations as these, for there is no doubt that play and recreation of this kind is necessary and beneficial to the student. O O The Student Association OFFICERS Elmer E. Hall, President Edna ] I. Applebee, Vice-President Paul P. X’ancini, Secretary George O. Young, Treasurer 1925-26 ' ' I ' HE Student Association is an organization which was formed in 1923 through the coopera- tion of the Faculty and Student Body. It is an excellent example of self-government and all matters concerning the students are controlled by this organization. Its object is “to repre- sent and further the interests of the student body; to secure cooperation between the different classes and to arrange for exhibitions, entertainments and all dramatic presentations with the co- operation of the Faculty Committee.” Regular monthly meetings are held in the Assembly Hall of the school. Many prominent speakers of the business and professional worlds have, at v’arious times, spoken before the student body in an attempt to bring about a closer relationship and a better understanding between the school and outside interests, industry in particular. Several outside entertainments have been sponsored by the Student Association in an endeavor to make people better acquainted with the purpose of the school and its work. Demon- strations by students of work carried on in the various departments of the school have been given before outside organizations interested in the school, among them being the Taunton, Wor- cester and Fall River Womens’ Clubs. The Association is also interested in keeping in touch with other schools and colleges con- cerning student activities; and Mr. Elmer E. Hall, ’26, the present President of the Student - ssodation, was sent as its representative to the National Collegiate World Court Conference which was held recently at Princeton University. The Massachusetts School of . rt was one of two hundred and forty institutions of higher learning represented at this conference. There, for the first time, the mature undergraduate opinion of the students of the United States was ex- pressed on a subject of International importance. The National Student Federation of the F ' nited States of .America was founded at this conference. At the close of the school year an outing is held under the auspices of the .Association in which the students of the school and members of the h ' aculty all take part. .A wonderful spirit of loyalty, responsibility and comradeship have been brought about through the Student .Association and it is hoped that this work will continue to be carried on in this way, being ever mindful of the fact that we can help one another for it truly is worth while.

Kantor Junior, Margaret 1C Page Sophomore, Barbara Spofeord Ercshnian, Helen Dauphine S OME years aj o the school publication declined into extinction, and until the loyal class of 26 realized the need of its revival, we were without a school voice. Accordingly, the little paper was resurrected, re-christened ‘‘. rt Gum. and launched upon the waves of public opinion to carry the tidings of our school life into every port. From a meagre beginning, it has grown into a very creditable publication and is improving with each issue. Lender the careful guidance of the present Editor, IMiss Phyllis Randle, each “, rt Gum” of the past year has brought to us interesting articles about prominent artists, tell- ing of their ambitions and successes. These have been accompanied by many pleasing illustra- tions which have made the “Art Gum” especially choice. Bits of student wit and gossip, bits of literary effort and an occasional cartoon, compose the remaining substance of the paper. The Sargent copy was very successful, as was also the number dealing with the experiences and accomplishments of Mr. M ' yeth. Students are urged to contribute of their talent and to keep the “Art Gum ever improv- ing that it may be worthy of its position as the voice of the Massachusetts School of . rt. [G6] r i « Boys’ Athletic Club O l ' R basketball team was a bit delayed in getting started this year but eventually INIark Robinson was elected Captain, and Ward Crooker, Manager. Practice was held at the Poston Xormal School Ciym for the first few weeks and later at the Boston YXI.C.A. i Ir. Hoadley endeavored to coach the little squad but soon found himself so busy with duties, that the boys had to shift for themselves. In spite of these difficulties, the team showed much improvement since last year and proved itself worthy of greater support and interest than has yet been evidenced by our student body. Games with the following teams were played and a share of the victories were to the credit of : f.S.A. School of Practical Arts Northeastern Freshmen , llan Chalmers School Maples, iNIalden 1!. U. P ' reshmen Dummer Academy Oliver Ames High Malden Y.M.C.A. Bridgewater Xormal [ 07 ] The Girls’ Athletic Club President ..... Lillian E. Burgovxe V ice-Presidcut .... . Mildred Ellis Secretary ..... Elaine Cook Treasurer ........... Kettv Lane ' ' T ' ' HL Girls ' Athletic Club was founded four years a. o. by a , rroup of enthusiastic and ener- etic girl students who. realizing the necessity of “keeping fit, and appreciating the bene- fits to be gained by regular physical exercise, banded themselves together and formed a club which has overcome, in a measure, our lack of facilities for physical training, etc. It is only through the excellent spirit and the true sportsmanship of its oft ' icers and members, together with the financial aid of the Students ' Association that the Club has been able to carry on the splendid work of its founders. The scope of the Club ' s activities increases each year, and attracts many new members. There is no doubt that, in future years, the girh of the Massachusetts School of Art will toss their tarns into inter-collegiate rings. Basketball, tennis, bowling, gymnastics, clogging, folk dancing, swimming, paddling and horseback riding are among the present activities. “What a list of strenuous sports for such ' namby-pamby ' girls as art students I ” Rut really art students are not “namby-pambies, they are just as healthy and energetic as any other colllege students and the Girls ' Athletic Club of the Massachusetts School of Art is out to prove it I F 70 1 JcivSt folk«5 Cou5in5 Cdxf M9d ‘Cek ' 5een oi? oar CeM9?pU6 5oi7?e r? 2 ore folks ' Ti 5 Fred bimself!
