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 ' ’!

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.

Fitchburg High School Costume Design Course “It is worth a thousand pounds a year to have the habit oj looking on the bright side oj things.” Doris Post has been the room bucldie of Helen Dav ' is for four long years. Doris looks quiet, but one can never really tell about these “quiet ones.’’ She plays a “like” and piano: she loves red hair, too! We were rather surprised to learn that Doris is very religious — in fact — she goes to church four and five times every Sun- day! We wonder if Charlie” goes along! EDITH PETERSON 2 9 Stow St., Concord, Mass. Concord High School Te.acher Training Course “Her brow was overhung with coins oj gold.” Edith comes to us from quaint old Con- cord and she has a most refreshing fa- miliarity with the wealth of historic in- terest which centers around her home town. Emerson. Hawthorne and the . ' M- cotts are like old neighbors to her and she possesses many intimate glimpses of their lives which have been passed on to her with the traditions of Concord. Edith and her pal. Arlene, are among our fairest Seniors and their dispositions are as sunny as their ringlets. If Edith ever does hap- pen to frown, which is almost never, her I ' .pwitching pout is quite as pleasing as her smile. . n earnest student and ef- ficient p :pil-teacher. she will win laurels in her teaching career. WILLIAM DICKSON RISEIJOROUGH 45 St. Kotolph St., Boston . cadia University, 1922 Teacher Training Course “To set the cause above renown. To love the game above the prize.” We are glad to know that Bill plans to become one of Uncle Sam ' s citizens and to make his home in the good old U. S. A. He suffered a serious wound at the hand of Cupid some time ago and since a voyage upon the sea of matrimony seemed an ad- visable cure, he set forth upon a delight- ful voyage last summer and brought his bride to Boston in the fall. Congratula- tions, Bill! .-Xs a student in our school. Bill has excelled in many subjects: he is a champion in lechanical Drawing and his water colors possess the strong tech- nique of a true artist, yet they are exqui- site in their charm. We are confident that Bill will bring further honors to his class as a most successful teacher. ’26 .MATENE RACHEOTES 18 Brookview .St., Dorchester, Mass. Dorchester High School Dr.wving and Painting Course “.I certain miracle oj symmetry , a minia- ture oj loveliness, all grace.” Tene, as her more intimate friends call her. has evidently been very busy in the Drawing and Painting Room on the fourth floor as we have rarely seen her elsewhere. She is a bit of Grecian sculpture, and her dark, sparkling eyes are only one of her beauty assets.” She plans to study painting abroad and beauty is the least of her troubles. Lydia is Tene’s friend and these two form an en- viable company. FRED ROBINSON 520 Summer St., Lynn, iMass. English High School Teacher Training Course “Though this may be play to you ’tis death to us!” Whether he be tickling the ivories at Assembly or presiding at some important meeting, Fred is always on the job will- ingly and on time. He is one of our most popular boys, although he is always busy with plans, drawings, and research work. He is also an adept chalk artist. Fred’s orchestra, Robinson ' s Teddy Bears,’’ has been in existence ever since his Freshman year and we wonder what will become of the happy troupe to whose tuneful synco- pation has tripped many a fantastic toe!” [ 29 ]
