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.

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 ]

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.

LYDIA MOWER 31 Howard St., Lynn. lass. Lynn Classical High School Dr.xwino .and I’.ainting Course “WrariHg all that weight oj learning like a flower.” Lydia came to us from Simmons Col- lege and we certainly are sorry for Sim- mons. This clever young person has a dignity and self-assurance that is admir- able. She is intellectual and is well versed on any subject whether it be practical or classical. Her art reviews for the “Art- gum prove that, and Lydia has also served as the .Artgum Literary Editor for two years. We are sure that Lydia will find the pot of gold at the end of her rainbow I LOUIS NOVAK 72 Norfolk St.. Cambridge, Mass. Cambridge High School KENNETH AIORANG Bennington. Vermont Everett High School Desion Course ‘‘It .? not what he has, nor what he does that expresses the worth oj man. hut what he. is.” Ken is one of our busy designers. He is very active in school life and has been tbe secretary of his class for two years. He has taken part in many of our plays and pageants and was the Carfare of the operetta China Shop.” Ken is a saxo- phone artist in the Teddy Bears ' orchestra and is also its business manager. .A re- cent trip to Florida for his health interested him in Elorida real estate besides turning his handsome complexion to a becoming cheek of tan. Ken ' s ready wit and fas- tidious dress have earned for him an envi- able place among the artist sheiks of M.S..A.. and we know that he will always have a wealth of friends. Drawing and Painti-ng Course -MURIEL NOLTE 120 Monatiquot .Ave., Braintree. Alass. Braintree High School Commercial Design Course The mind is at rest with itself and the consciousness is filled with the joy of living.” Muriel is a reserved little lady who works earnestly and quietly toward her goal. She is one of our many blondes and has a goodly number of friends. .A trip abroad in 1924 was an enriching ex- perience and of course she had a won- derful time. Aluriel is taking crafts as a sideline and has done much creditable work. Later, she hopes to continue her study of music, of which she is very fond. W ' e wonder if Aluriel could have been any reason for the return of a certain last year ' s senior for a post-graduate course! FREDERICK O ' HARA 3212 West .Ave.. Newport News, Va. Newport News High School Drawing and Painting Course There can be no happy life without stren- uous, unremitting work in it, work that occupies body, mind and soul.” Our Lukie” possesses a giant stature and for four years his shoulders have towered above us all; more than that, his work also has a trend that way. Luke is inevitably sure of an unimpaired vision in the life class, however overcrowded it may be. W ' e wonder how Air. Sharmon can judge Lukie ' s work from the same eye level, but then, you know. Air. Sharmon can see around corners. Lukie’s still-lifes, water colors, and especially life portraits shown in our school exhibitions, are testi- monies of his ability and subtle sense of color. artist who holds an exquisite tool.” Here is a genius who still retains his boyish impulses and, like Tom Sawyer, gains the confidence of his comrades by genial friendliness and a gay, wbimsical manner that is very delightful. .As a painter, Fred has carried away many honors, but his ever-increasing power should gain for him even more success. Fred ' s contributions to the school exhibitions are always admired and one marvels at the zeal and energy with which this young man works, for his paintings are many and varied. W ' e would like to see more of this Tom Sawyer ' ’!
