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. One by one into the cnffiji oj nothingness.” A magnetic personality that is ever di- verting. ever charming. 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. LILLIAN A. PHILLIPS 36 Robinwood . ve , Jamaica Plain, Mass. .Mumnus, M.X.. .S.: Degrees, B.S., M.. ., Columbia University. Instructor in Crafts “In her we find these things combined — .Accomplishment oj hand and mind. Miss Phillips is most familiar to the members of the Junior and Senior Teacher Training Classes. 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 ]

Boston: Harvard Summer School Instructor in Color H.tr.monv ,l place above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.’’ .Miss Hathaway is as charmins as one of her own sketches and as clever. 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.

Cain has also shown us that the smallest hair casts its shadow.” As an artist, he has been especially interested in landscape painting and has held a recent e.xhibition of his work in Milton.

It is he who gives us our beau- tiful pageants, it is he who helps us in outside work where very subtle criticism is needed in the modelling of masques and ornaments: it i ■■ he who breathes life into all work by his very sincerity, his ability to make one imagine, nr to recall those half-forgotten, de ' i,ghtful experience of child hood.

She holds a wealth of information upon every subject and we feel safe in saying that she is a conversational match for her co-worker, Mr. George. DA.XIEE O. BREWSTER 1 7 Branch ,St., Boston. Mass.

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

Instructor in Life and Antique, “Alt his jaults are such that we love him better jnr them. How could we. as Freshmen, have mis- taken Mr. WalUice, the sternly dignified, for a student I Perhaps we saw the twinkle that sometimes escapes from his penetrat- ing eyes, ,- s Sophomores, we discovered his subtle humor and often wondered whether he was laughing at or with us. In spite of his rising reputation as a portrait painter. Mr. Wallace retains his conscien- tious interest in the progress of his pupils and is a painstaking and helpful instructor. EDWIX A.

Mechanical Drawing It is a ver - hearty welcome which we e.xtend to Mr. Hoadley. and although a newcomer, he has become one of our favor- ite instructors. One gets so many varied, delightful impressions that it is almost im- possible to do him justice. Perhaps he is a bit of Lewis Carrol dropped in among usl . t any rate. 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.

Instructor of Sociology .Among the “Respectable Projessors of the Dismal Science.” Those members of the M.

Oh, you who have not availed yourselves, and who have the opportunity to do so next year, linger be- hind and join one of the informal discus- sions that take p ' ace after class. Interest runs rampart and you will be surprised in regard to the social attitude of your class- mates. too. .A little bird whispers that Miss A ' aughan is soon to write Ph.D. after her name.

Boston Aluseum Sch ool and with Brangwyn. noted English artist. Instructor at R. I. School of Design Instructor. Drawing and Painting Course “Fine .Art is that in which the. hand, the head and the heart go together.” Air. Sharmon is associated with a Quiet personality that is distinctly surprising when one sees the vigorous method of his work, .Although he is known to all as a man of few words, his wit and his kindly criticisms have gained for him the ad- miration of his pupils. He is striving for better work by insisting on careful drawing — as he puts it, Draw the shapes more carefully.’’ Air. .Shannon does not dominate, but one feels that here is a thinker of creative ability, a kindly man preparing for something better. .Already he is a well known exhibitor in Boston, greatly admired for his masterly technique.
