BLAXCHE HART 26 Mather St.. Dorchester, Mass. High School of Practical . rts Teacher Training Course “.4 daughter oj the Gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair.” Even the smallest Freshman, knows Blanche, at least by sight, and very like ' y has been smiled upon, for Blanche is a most friendly person. 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. High School of Practical .Arts Editor, 1925 Year Book, M. S. .A. Design Course “.ind ne’er did Grecian chisel trace .4 nymph, a naiad, or a grace Oj finer form or lovlicr face.” If we were writing “impressions,” we would grant Eleanor artistic atmosphere. ' 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.. Chicopee Chicopee High School Studied Painting at La Grand Chaummier, Paris Teacher Training Course “Oh leave the gay and festive scenes, the halls oj dazzling light” Everybody at least hears of Jeanne if they do not happen to know her person- ally. 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.

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.

West Somerville, Muss, Somerville High School Te.vcher Tr.mning Course “Oh sweet is the new violet that comes beneath the skies.” ' «f = IOL. I.OWREY Beecher Falls, Vermont IMontpelier Seminary Design Course “ ’Tis not what we have, hut what we enjoy that makes us happy.” lo’.a is a shining light among our De- signers and a balm to Mr. George ' s some- times sorely wounded artistic sense. She is another of our blonde lassies and is blessed with a sunny disposition. lo’a is an attache of the Lo. ton Opera House and can discourse interestingly and at ' ength upon the glories of the world of music. To her it is an element of pure happiness for there is in souls a sym- pathy with sounds, and as the mind is pitched, the ear is pleased,” This bright-haired lass certainly has an “eye for the beautiful” and produces some very effective color schemes. 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. XDER TLLE 2 Elm St., Concord Junction, Mass. Concord High .School Te, cuer Tr.mning Course “.! real trccasurcs arc rock hound.” Jean may be one of the tiniest girls in the class but she has been referred to as “one of the snappiest.” She is full of fun in spile of her seemingly quiet manner and sleek dignified head. She is very suc- cessful in teaching — especially so with young children. Jean came to M.S.. . in her Junior year, having first nibbled at the Xew School of Design. CH.ARLES MacDON, LD 395 Concord St., Framingham, Mass. Design Course “Power dwells with cheerfulness veteran of the World War, Mac has a corner on the market of leisure time and also a certain Helen. IMac evidently be- lieves in specialization whether it be in design or eating at the Shantung, and to him, Friday nights are very special! Mac does not dance but he does like to go to the movies. He is always good natured and friendly, yet he is a mature thinker with artistic talent. . ccording to Mr. Major, Mac does very good work in handling charcoal studies of still life. I ■ [ 27 ]
