EFFIE BYROX WHITTET 15 Clifton Road. Roxbury, Mass. Studied at B. U.. Simmons and FX . .S. LlBR.AR.-U.AN AND PRECEPTRESS “Dreams, books, arc each a world; and books we know. Are a substantial world, both pure and good.” iMrs. Whittet is our official librarian and guards closely our precious anatomy plates and beautifully illustrated fairy- tales; she posts notices of choice bits of current items on art. which will be of benefit to those who will read; she dis- perses locker keys to the unfortunate forgetters and is forever untangling the misfortunes of those who flock to the li- brary for advice upon subjects ranging from Keats to matrimony. 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. D.LJIRELL 5 Lee St.. Cambridge. Mass. Secretary to Director “Silence is golden and she is rich there- with.” We do not see very much of Miss Damrell unless we trespass upon her busy domain to enter the office of Mr. Farnum. . s our Director ' s secretary, we are sure that the Commonwealth must find i Iiss Damrell quite indispensable, for she. with Miss Carney’s assistance, keeps the ma- chinery of our school in order even in Mr. Farnum ' s occasional absence. Miss Dam- rell is interested in our efforts and is never too busy to give us of her helpful advice. MISS HELEX CLE.WES Waban. Mass. Studied under Charles Woodbury and Den- man Ross Instructor. Department of Education “Let’s find the sunny side oj men, or be believers in it, .1 light there is lor every soul that takes the pains to win.” “Talk the L ' . S. language’’ is the earnest plea of Miss Cleaves, who. in spite of her forbidding appearance, gains the admiration and respect of all the Senior Classes since she has been with us. .According to her pupils, this very popu- lar instructor is considered “just wonder- ful because she is sunny inside. which absolutely makes her energetic, capable personality ideal for teaching. 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. Her assigned trips to the Museum are a constant joy to the lucky Senior Teacher Trainers and we feel sure that Aliss ( ' leaves will always be an inspiration to future teachers. ALARY AI. RLGC. 62 Hamilton St.. Wollaston. Alass. .Alumnus, AI.X ' .-A.S., Cooper ' s Union, Study at Pratt Institute and Chicago School of Design. Instructor i.n Costume Illustration “True joy is free to all.” The enthusiasm which radiates from Airs. Rugg ' s vivacious personality is an inspiration to ' all her students. From the industrial world, in which she has made a place for herself, .she brings actual ex- perience and valuable advice to our stu- dents of Costume Illustration who are eager to enter the commercial field. Airs. Ru.gg carries successfully with her profes- sional work, the duties of homemaker and the care of a three-year old son. I L.AUR.A .A. C.ARXEY 66 Calvary St., Al’altham, Alass. Bookkeeper and Recorder “Thy modesty is but a candle to thy merit.” I ' e well remember Air. Alajor’s admira- tion of Aliss Carney’s beautiful Titian crown of glory, and our subsequent awe that it had been so highly lauded by the Alonarch of the Fourth F ' loor. We won- der how Aliss CarneA ' can still smile so cheerily when we slip in morning after morning to put blue beads on our pegs (which is the penalty for tardiness). .A good sport and a loyal supporter of our school activities. Aliss Carney is among our pleasant memories.

KRKDERICK E. WALLACE Eenway Studios, 30 Ipswich St., Boston, 3Iass. .Mumnus M. . A. S.. Study at , cademie Julien and The Carlarossis, Paris. 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. HOADLEY 52 Lewis Road, Belmont .Mumnus, IM. X. S. Student Dynamic Symmetry under Jay Jambridge. E.xperienced Teacher and Lecturer Instructor. 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. AILSS LIL.AH AIERLE VAUGHAX 400 Crescent St., Waltham, Mass. Graduate of Boston University with De- grees of .A.B . and .A. AT, Phi Beta Kappa, Studied at Harvard. Civic Welfare Work. Women ' s Alunicipal League, .Assistant Professor of Economics and Sociology at Boston University since 1920. Instructor of Sociology .Among the “Respectable Projessors of the Dismal Science.” Those members of the M. S. .A. who are lucky enough to study Sociology with Aliss A ' aughan know that her friendliness and interest does much to brighten the possible dryness of the subject. 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. Good luck. Aliss A ' aughan I J.AAIES -MACE AXDRESS 67 Clyde St., Xewtonville, Mass. BPd. and .A.B. degree from Alich. State Xormal College: Ph.AI. from University of Chicago: .A. AT from Harvard: Ph D., Clark I ' niversity: Head of Dept, of Psychology and Social Hygiene, State Xormal School, AA ' orcester, Instructor, Department of Education, “Keen in intellect with force, and still to strive, to fashion, to fulfill.” .Although Dr. .Andress has been with us since 1915, very few of us have had the privilege of studying under him, or meet- ing him. He was born in Chessaning, Alichigan. but has adopted .Xew England as a good place to carry on his work. He holds a generous record of degrees and still remains the student. AA ' e feel that it is a privilege to include in our faculty this kindly, gracious man. JOHX SHARAIOX 101 Camden St., Boston Study with Edmund C. Tarbell. 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.
