Because, as an instructor and friend, with frank criticism and sincerity, he teaches the creed of industry, honesty of self and devotion to the old Masters. With a firm hand he molds the Freshmen to his “nice and malleable” state, building a foundation and appreciation for the beautiful craft of painting. And lastly, because he is a cultured critic of the arts, possessed of a keen sense of drama, and is a painter and gentleman of pure colour. PIGEON COVE HARBOR From a Drawing By Anna M.

Hathaway 0 Life In the distance a mountain With wonderful light and color, Xearby a sunlighted meadow, How good it is to run— to leap — To sing— to shout with glee. Until— comes darkness. Uncertainty of the wa} ' . Xo longer can the moun tain be seen. The swamp envelops Tangled underbrush. A coming roar of tempest. Oh! for a glimpse Of the wonderful light and color ! To breathe again the sun warmed air! But no. Rocks are stumbled over. Would it not be well to go no farther To lie and dream of the mountain? But listen A cry is heard — Someone has fallen who needs our help. Together we struggle onward And leave the swamp behind. The air is clearer. We can see the hills Drab with rocks. The sun lighted mountain is surely beyond ; But the way is hard and toilsome. The hills must be climbed. The rocks cut us. Yet we are not lonely, Others, more footsore, are by our side. Someone calls, “See -the sun— the mountain.” We forget our weariness - nd look up To see the mountain. More wonderful, beautiful with light and color. mist arises. We can no longer see. But we know ; For presently the sun Will burn away the fog. Ethel G. B.artlett.

With our marvelous scientific inventions, our wonderful strides in medicine, our unusual freedom of thought, our rapid means of communication, and. particularly in this country, our great wealth, we are in a new and great renaissance. This is especially true of the field in which we are peculiarly interested. Evidences are on every hand of the growing awakening of the value and interest being taken hy the public generally in the art problem — new demands for better homes, keener interest in the style problem of costume, and more attention to the aesthetic side of machine production from machine tools to automobiles, and Irom the beautifully advertised tloormnp to radios — all evidences of a growing interest and appreciation of beauty. You are fortunate in being alive today. Su ch an awakening inevitably must produce a greater love for and appreciation of the Fine . rts and. with . merica in the van. each of you is faced with the wonderful opportunity of being a leader in your chosen field. iMay you arrive at that height and soon. Royal Bailey Farnum. FREDERICK MASON ' WILDER Willard Street, Braintree, Mass. De.srees of B.S. and M.S. from Harvard Dean of Our School Our dean is the first to take care of the much confused Freshman after registration. The precedent holds, it would seem, for Mr. Wilder, aside from his duties as Dean of the school, continues to be the authority on all matters which the classmen put be- fore him. He is never so busy that he cannot advise or listen attentively to our story, never so dignified that he cannot appreciate real humor, . nd yet he prac- tices his arguments for efficiency so well that there can be no doubt that the inter- ests of the school and his work receive the best of his abilities. VESPER LINCOLN GEORGE 20 Commonwealth . ve.. Boston Pupil of Constant. Doucet and Lefebre Head of Department of Design It is impossible to place Mr. George in any one definite profession, for he has an aptitude for many things. He is not only a designer, a lecturer, traveller, decorator, and instructor of design but the founder of a new art school in Boston. This year the Seniors and the Juniors, by some un- precedented stroke of luck, are fortunate to hear his lectures which have such a wide range of subject and are made doubly- interesting by Mr. George ' s keen sense of humor. .Any student who has been in his classes cannot have helped being influenced by his clever criticisms and earnest ar- guments for original experiment. His motto, proved by the example he sets, is, ‘ Keep Moving.’ ' ELLA MCNSTERBERG 36 Claflin Road.

Instructor of .Anatomy and Life Drawing Air. .Andrew explains that he leaves to us our own methods of stating what we see. He tells us frankly whether we are on the right road, or whether we are not grasping the significance of the pose. He realizes and makes consideration for the limitations and characteristics of his pupils and thus enables each to progress and achieve individual ends with the utmost of clearness and celerity. We are fortunate to have an instructor in anatomy who is thoroughly and comprehensively equipped with the subject and able to impart it to his students so successfully. Mr. .Andrew ' s distinction as one of the finest is strength- ened as his murals for the State House in Boston near completion.

Harvard, L’niversities of Boston and Chicago Head of Department of .Art Education We almost pass over Aliss Whittier with sighs of resignation, convinced that she verges toward the irreproachable. Even in our most scatching moments we find it difficult to regret anything of her. Oh for the wings of a dove!” we might sing of Miss Whittier’s fluttering elbows, and of her surplus energy. We have become confirmed addicts to her charms. Her in- genious oratory and heliotrope harmonies have attracted us to her. Fancy being the receiver of so many tribulations and glories, yet retaining a sense of freedom and good will. .As we toil to the outposts we carry with us Miss Whittier’s creed of loveliness. o o I y WILIU-R I)I;AX ha.mii.tox T rinity Court.

However poor the drawing or however despairing the student, she always finds some ray of hope to which one may cling. We fear we must sometimes prove very trying to one of her sensitiveness, but she never lets us feel it if we do. .Vnd all of us have grown to realize that no one can come in contact with Miss Hathaway with- out gaining a keener feeling f or what is truly harmonious in art and life.

It is difficult, perhaps, to picture this delight- ful master of design, this genial, helpful advisor, an erstwhile cowpuncher. His in- formal lectures, which he ludds sometimes to crowds three tiers high before his desk, are filled with interest of other countrie- and unu ual books. To describe Air.

Instructor in Drwvino and Painting The chance for class criticism by Air. Cowell in life drawing comes only to the fortunate Treshmen and Sophomores, but we are not entirely cut off. for through the last two years of school we are occasion- tilly favored with a bracing correction of our work when we visit his classes. But it is for the lower classmen that Air. Cowell supervises the plays and entertainments which are presented to the school. Between his modeling classes at the Xew School of Design and his good-natured advice for his students ' work here, he calls upon all his friends, singers, craftsmen and writers, to attend the assemblies under his charge. Air. Cowell is a consummate worker, and we expect soon to have the result in the church mura’s he is now painting CYRUS EDW.VRD D.ALLIX 09 Oakland . ve . .Arlington Heights. .Mass.

Dallin smiling in the doorway, and such is his since e wish, to he ' p us get a little c ' oser to nature each time. His boyhooil was silent in the open and he took from the grandeur of the mountains and the songs of the pines their greatest secret sin- cerity. ' Truly, he is an artist. AA ' e su-pect he would like to have another lifetime be- fore him in which to continue the never tiring fun that he might get still closer to nature. Xot to love this gracious man is not to know him. 1 FREDERICK WALLACE Fenway Studios. 30 Ipswich Street, lioston. Mass. •Muninus iM. X. . . S. Studied at .Acadeniie Julien and the Carlarossis in Paris Instructor in Life .and Painting Mr. Wallace is one of the younger mem- bers of the faculty. He continues to pro- duce portraits which bring him praise and a well-deserved reputation from a satisfied clientele. His foibles, if reported correctly, are for a mild sort of cussing and a tendency to make queer faces at his mod- els. Since this is the year book, the cuss- ing is necessarily mild, and the latter fault we may forgive because the portraits are so successful. Mr. Wallace rapidly works to the position of one of Boston’s well- known portrait painters and he exhibits at the St. Botnlph Club. V’ose Galleries and Cassons. I.ILLIAX A.

Instructor in Pageantry and D esign -Away from the tumult of the city, around the corner from the crowd, is the studio of a quiet artist. When the lowly Freshman has passed this portal and been invited to tea here among the bits of Ital- ian treasures, he is given to reflections upon his extreme good luck in knowing Mr. Brewster. But a true realization of it comes when the music of encouragement steers many a lower classman through the sulphurous blue, period when the spirit is low. He fiercely concentrates upon stage work with a contagious enthusiasm. His stage presentations border on absolute perfection in color. Air. Brewster ' s only failing, if we may call it a failing, is a liking for community poetry which is de- claimed between deep breaths and with chest expanded. ALARY AI.

Airs. Rugg has still an aston- ishing amount of energy as she conducts her classes in costume illustration. .She is first to consider the standards required in artistic illustration for advertising. We regret that she is able only to spend two period.s a week with her class. LEO O ' DOXXELL 56 Eellsway East, Alalden .Alumnus AI. X. .A. S. Illustrator Instructor in .Antique and Life Drawing.

Certainly variety of work in Crafts would prevent any bore- dom. and its usefulness has no limits, for the problems when finished are applicable or have something in common with other pieces of school work. Air. O ' Donnell one morning read poetry to his class. We have decided, in retro- spect, that we enjoyed poetry reading while we worked, but at the moment, and for a short time, we were acutely uncom- fortable from mere astonishment. We had recited for Air. Brewster but then we had done the declaiming — here we were the en- tertained. Alay he continue with his happy inspiration. Air. O ' Donnell carries on a successful illustration business besides his classes in this school. To him we owe our first profitable introduction to the modern illustrators ' and designers ' work in com- mercial advertising. His new studio, near the Aluseum, is one of the old houses of X’ew England design in Boston. MISS IRMA COFREX 1334 Commonwealth Ave., Boston Alumnus M. X. A.

She is a perfect example of Practice what you preach.” except that she doesn ' t preach. , nd now. as if she didn ' t have enou.gh in her favor, she is going to live in Paris all summer long — and do we envy her? The seniors only regret that they won ' t be in her classes next fall to profit by her wealth of information. However, the chances are that Miss Cofren will have six all too eager visitors on her return to earth. DR. JAMES MACE , NDRESS 67 Clyde Street, Xewtonville BPD. and .A.B. degree from Mich.

Instructor in English It is pleasant to consider that before we leave these ancestral halls and scenes of early literary struggles which were con- trolled quarterly by Mr. Jamison, that it is our privilege to deliver ourselves of a very humble sort of eulogy to an instructor, who alone, and at times with slight en- couragement, endeavored to hold us to a state of fair intelligence. Some drank deep of the stream, to the best of their abilities; some perished by the wayside and a few Phillistines spoke lightly of the wisdom thereof. Mr. Jamison, like Mr. -Major, was a hard-hearted reformer to the High School Graduates. .At this date, there is a disposition to realize what the benefits of the English class were. To Mr. Jamison must go the credit for a strong faith in the possibilities of the .Art Gum, which to an appreciable extent has been justified. EFFIE BYRON WHITTIT 15 Clifton Road, Roxbury, Mass.

Whittit or her daugh- ter Helen who is indisposed. Either one or the other may be true but we deserve the sympathy. Our lives have been as dust and ashes trying to get keys or books while Mrs. Whittit languishes amid the mumps. We haven ' t been shushed for three months and we miss it. Mrs. Whittit ties our diplomas and orders potted palms in greei tubs and kisses us all goodby at Com- mencement, while we clutch the aforesaid diplomas, and forget the books and keys and car checks we didn ' t get and the seven thousand shushes ' ’ we did — and sally forth rooting for “ ' Muddy Whittit and the Eastern .Star. 73 Parker Street, Newton Center, Mass. Degree from Harvard. Studied at Tech- nology and abroad Instructor in .Architectural Drafting We are determined to express here our admiration for Air. Kendall and his art, and to confess the personal sympathy we had for him as he tried to steady our fal- tering steps through the labyrinth of Ionic volutes and past the confusion of acanthus leaves. Air. Kendall was too fine an archi- tect to ever take us seriously, but too much of a tolerant and friendly instructor to ever grow impatient. Fortunately, our own proficiency in this classic art was not necessary in order for us to appreciate its beauty and estimate its value in our educa- tion. ALBERT S.

Sometimes one may enter the Junior class without ever having known that the painter of the fine canvases at the Guild and other Boston Galleries is Mr. Shannon of our faculty. His days for criticisms are spent behind closed doors. Occasion- ally a tired but happy Junior or Senior staggers out for a drink of water. There emerges through the half open door the sound of charcoal on paper and cjuiet instructions to draw, and draw, then draw some more.” Air. Shannon believes, if we quote him correctly, that painting is little more than drawing, and that “the little more” is the creative quality which cannot be taught. He is responsible for the influencing of many of our “Fine Arters” by his “priemier coup,” still lifes and landscapes. LAURIEN H. AIARTIX 14 Park Street, Lowell, Alass.

Alartin — to what extent some shall never realize — we have to show for our mangled thumbs, singed eye- brows and acid-eaten smocks some pieces of hand-made jewelry of varxing quality. It has been estimated that Air. Alartin in the course of our morning ' s instruction covers more distance than any one person in the same amount of time in school, and that he has accompished more reconstruct- ing. reorganizing and general salvage work than any committee for the rehabilitation of shell-torn homes in France.

MISS HELEN ' CLEAVES Waban, Mass. Studied under Charles Woodbury and Denman Ross IXSIRICTOR. Dfp.XRTMENT OF EdLC.WION The Teacher Trainers have certainly en- joyed their work with Miss Cleaves, who has combined a flexible wit with an excel- lent course. No matter what her topic, it is interesting, dramatized, and at points overwhelmingly humorous. Those art teach- ers who have not become familiar with her theories and practise would do well to cleave unto her, verily. The absent treat- ment course which she has given us for museum investigation is quite flattering, and since she is one of the most comfort- able persons to work with, never shrieking with insistence for anything, everybody re- wards her willingly. (We feel exposed to ridicule for not finding an adverse criti- cism. I THERON CAIN ■South Braintree, Mass. -Muinnus M. N. S. I.NSTRUCTOR IN PERSPECTIVE AND FrEE- Hand Drawing The fearful rigors of perspective are well known. If we remember our history cor- rectly, we recall that back in the eighteenth century William Turner was having his difficulties with the same subject. From such feeble sources do we endeavor to gain consolation. Mr. Cain, fortunately, is al- ways ready to explain this highly technical subject to the point where there is under- standing. His conscientious teaching and sense of humor help to make his pupils shoulder the p roblems philosophically and with sincere (determination. Sir. Cain, it is, who sets his low classmen out in the transportation lanes to make sketches of the halls of this institution. VIr. Cain has exhibited this year in Boston. MARTHA M. FLINT 267 High St..

Instructor in Costume Design Miss Flint has charge over the cutting and basting rooms of the Costume Design class. Occasionally, when something big is under way. the peace of her drafting rooms is invaded by an army of actors and supers in search of red cloaks, fezes, mandarin ' s shoes and pins to fasten the ensemble together, and Miss Flint calmly draws upon a stock of endless yards of goods for large or small productions. She and her corps of workers are ready always to take up their shears and needles from the Repertory Theatre to the Opera House, where with Mr. Major as stage manager, she costumed .Aida with great success and she received a steady round of ap- plause for her work when the curtain went up on the setting. ISABELLA DAMRELL 5 Lee Street, Cambridge Secretary to the Director Miss Damre’l runs the holy of holies (the inner office) and still manages to emerge from the fray with a disposition that makes the short-in-the-grain Year Book staff green-eyed with envy. ’S the truth, although she does her best to “main- tain discipline by glaring at us when she lends us once and forever the common pins of the state of Massachusetts, by telling us that we are the world ' s most awful nuisance when she gives us yards and yards of wrapping paper and by trying hard (though ineffectually) to look danger- ous whi ' e she helps to get our ' copy ready for the engraver. You ' ll have to take the smile lines and the candles out of your eyes. Miss Damrell, while you preach at us, if you would be a success at being cold and callous. We hope all the perfect little Sophs and Freshmen will never bother you — just so that you will miss, and perhaps remember us. JIANOOK AND MR.

Instructor in Sociology Miss Vaughan has continually pointed to her red hair, demolished romances and family, as positive indications of her fear- ful behavior: and though she grows grim at moments, threatening to hang the ob- streperous out of the window. the kindly maiden always recovers her smile and con- tinues to administer Sociology of the most stupefying importance.

Recorder .vnd Bookkeeper Miss Carney sends home our reports when we least e.xpect them and thus de- prives us the opportunity of softening the blow to our family by subtle introduction. Outside of that persistent habit we all have several cockles of our several hearts saved for Miss Carney, her red hair, and her nice lace collars and cuffs. She saves our keys, invaluable gems and watches our note- books and powder compacts, our paints and pocketbooks which we scatter promis- cuously about the premises. How she answers phones, saves the State ' s money and keeps her sanity while her visitors rush in and out, we do not know. We offer a consoling thought that some day when we are all undeniably famous she will say, For him I once kept a tube of emeraude green I What price glory? LUDWIG FRANK The New School of Design Newbury Street, Boston Instructor in Textile Design Once in the lives of “squib” writers comes the heaven-sent opportunity to do an original writeup of one of the faculty Our advantage this time, however, is some- what lessened because Mr. Frank started his classes late in the year and his instruc- tion is limited to Senior Designers. He was born in Germany. His first work there was scene-shifting until he came to Boston, where he secured a position as instructor of mechanical drawing. Mr. Frank soon after studied design with Mr. George, and with a summer ' s work in textile design, his talent for this division of design brought him immediate success. Today he has a record of having done some four hundred cretonne designs, some of which are to be seen in the moving pictures. Mr. Frank has his own school on Newbury Street, at which some of our instructors hold classes.

Fre- quently our labors were interrupted by inquisitive elderly ladies who had had a suppressed desire to pursue art, or who had pursued art and never caught up. . t last as spring flow- ered into June, we blossomed into certificates for Mr. Brewster. These were so ingeniousK’ proportioned that, when carried in the subway, four citizens might be demolished at one fell swoop. - nd in breezy weather we sailed magnificently up the avenue behind our billowimi certificates.

What with architectural drafting, and structural design, and perspective, and dynamic symmetry, we nearly evoluted into T scjuares and triangles. Still we had our freer moments when we splashed serenely in water color or had an orgy of oils. Yet our conquer- ing confidence had oozed a little, and ever in the background loomed the furniture note books. -Always we shall feel a glow of recognition at sight of things Sheraton or Jacobean, even when which is which may have slipped our minds. Twice weekly we inflicted our darkened intelligences upon Mr. Jamison, and how very dark they were was soon revealed to him. But we here pay tribute to his generous tolerance and kindly patience, for we carried away from his classes a sense of poetic beauty that can never leave us. This, also, was our last year with Aliss Munsterberg, and we regretted every moment that slipped by.

Generous and thoughtful, she is selected as a pattern when we think of X ' ew Year ' s resolutions. She wears her black hair over her ears in distinctive twists, but her chief claim to originality comes from an ingenious draping of and coloring of dress sleeves. She has no eciual at gaining new effects in this way. Theo ' s forte is in design, and her style is for very ‘‘designy women with large head- dresses and oval faces with slanting eyes.

ELIZABETH MARIE BOURQUE 39 Royal St., Allston, Mass. St. Mary ' s Girls High School Lynn Classical Dr.vwing and Painting Course The girl of the arched brows and roman- tic pallor. Betty is very sensitive, very fragile, very clinging, wholly feminine. Although she is a member of the classical Fine .Arts course, her delight lies in sketch- ing fanciful princesses, sweet madonnas, and strange, faery creatures. Sometimes she makes us think that she herself has strayed from a castle in medieval France. Then we remember that she is a deliberate poseur. Then we remember the giggles that punctuate her confidences and the pleasure she derives from being called Bessie Bloke, the Button Girl — she has been spending her Saturdays behind the button counter of a store downtown. We remember the day we found her dancing along the cellar corridor in a red dress and high galoshes ( the latter because she fancied that they made her look Russian), eating a banana at one and the same time. RUTH BRAXN ' 37 -Avon St., Somerville, Mass. Teacher Training Department Ruthie ' s in a class by herself — abso- lutely no one like her. If somebody makes a pencil or water color sketch of her it can ' t be mistaken for anyone else. We don ' t know just why but there ' s an in- dividuality that can ' t be mislaid. She has one of those just right waves in her hair, blue eyes and a worth while smile — you know the kind, tall and quietly friendly — we don ' t know anyone who doesn ' t like her. She ' s often seen working but work- ing or not she is one of the reasons why ours is a nice class, ours is. AIARIO.V A. BISSELL 147 Worcester Street, Boston. Mass. Teacher Training Department She used to be such a little chubby per- son that it surprises us to see how much she has grown up. Why, back in the old days we were wont to call her the class baby, but we wouldn ' t think of that now. The title umiuestionably belongs to some- one else in the teacher training group. Marion has corking rosy cheeks, and she ' s always smiling. She’s full of vim and pep and lively as they come. We ' re wishing you luck and a good time, Alarion. we think you ' ll have both.

Bumps left the design class about the time the oil-painted procession began to form. Now. having returned and found us still at it she does the same, strength- ened in her intentions by Theo on one side and Stella on the other. Her con- stant purpose is to produce good designs and despite the disturbing attractiveness of the air of general leisure which surrounds her she succeeds. Bumps is not entirely opposed to a good time. We fear we shail have to call her a good influence but a wonderful sport. We end. The 4:30 afternoon train for . ttleboro is p.illing out. Leona hails from Worcester, and her work is neat and conscientious, accom- plished and with an effortless ease. Leona is always happy and never worried about anything. We feel that she should develop another of her talents — that of singing, for many are the arias heard in her vicin- ity.

He is very industrious and. of course, his work shows it. He is always good natured and very modest about himself. .And also he is - one of the first to take in the exhibitions. If Joe e er gets hard up for a model he can gesticulate himself, and all those who saw his rendering of the piece of Edgar .Allen Poe will readily agree.

Costume Design Course Stella started her Junior year with us as a designer, but we hear now that she prefers the Costume Design department, so she is leaving us for the halls of fashion. Stella is the possessor of a very rare sense of humor. .Ask any of the designers if they have ever heard Stella laugh. In spite of the fact that Stella has a great deal of conscientiousness, we are afraid that a major problem will claim her before she becomes a costume de-igner. However, whatever her decision, she is first able to gather about her a great many plans for clothes for the trousseau. ’28 DOROTHY CI ' RRIE 19 llradle Street.

ELIZABETH EWELL 157 Highland St., Brockton, Mass. Costume Design Course During three years in school there has been no necessity of apologizing for Betty’s work. But more important than a collec- tion of brush flo ' .trishes on paper is the remembrance of appreciation of her friends for an understanding of troubles or tri- umphs which the kindly sympathizes with or wisely praises. For two performances of the Christmas pageant we have her to thank for the playing of a charming Indian Princess. This picture of Betty is the one Miss Hathaway said should be called • pril. LOIS GEBHARD 17 Ellington Road. Wollaston, Mass. Teacher Training Department perfect lady is hard to find, but here is one.

We forgot 1 Once Lois Charlestoned I We say, “Lois, never do it again! You ' re not the type!” Lois ' work in jewelry crafts is excellent, due, probably, to the influence of her uncle, who is a fine silver craftsman. So we leave Lois, the picture of girlish simplicity, dignity and friendliness. ’28 DOROTHY DOW 1,37 Franklin St.. Natick. Mass. Teacher Training Course There is plenty to say about Dorothy. Plenty for her and very little against. The difficulty comes in explaining what you already know. First, she is delight- fully different — especially in voice. .She has a rjuite, C|uite perfect profile, which is not seen in the picture above but gives you the benefit of seeing the full front view. It is reported that the young lady has “It.” Whatever it is that makes Dot stand out as being so mighty fine we don ' t know. REBECCA FIELD Greenfield Road, Montague, Mass.

Jr. Franklin Street, Watertown. Mass. Watertown High School Drawing and Painting Course From first recollection Ir. Greene has spared us the various inconsistencies and rash assumptions of the callow art student. Since that time when he first established his reputation as a writer of high pressure love stories, to the present day when he returns from a survey of the East, we find that neither time nor travel has violently disconcerted the mental calm of this dis- ciple of Mr. Major. His flexible eyebrows and maddening sense of sophistication are gracefully used and too charming to pre- voke adverse criticism. .So much for ilr. Greene ' s personality. That he was voted into school after his long absence on the continent by the willing help of his instruc- tors. that he was appointed to the office on this Year Book, that he contributes a spirited role to the dramatic club ' s pres- entation and that his literary offerings to the Art Gum are unusually intelligent, we offer as conclusive evidence of the man ' abilities. JE.AXETTE HENDERSON 52 Houston .Avenue, Milton. Mass. Costume Design Jeanette Henderson, as she became known to us our Fre.shman year, and Mrs. Jerry Keith, as she is now, is a convincing argument against the present-day criticism of the modern girl. Our grandmothers or any other well-meaning reformers could have hardly desired a better girl with a more pleasing romance, ■e extend our editorial congratulations. Because Jean- ette has continued with her work there is reason to believe that her talents are not to be wasted and that her instruction in the design room will always be part of her future work. SEYMORE R. GOFF South Shore Studios 7443 South Shore Drive, Chicago, 111. Retrospecting on our young and very tender green days when we all threw mod- eling clay, our first recollection is of Happy’s checkerboard black and white dress. In the Freshman year. Happy left us for Havana, but returned later to join five boys in a rough and rocky trip to Provincetown. Happy ' s sea faring experi- ence stood her in good stead, for the dash- ing waves beat high, and she alone of the gallant company possessed the ability to Charleston on the spray-swept deck, to the envy of the slightly under-the-weather sea voyagers. Her occupations we hear less about now, for her work goes on in those mysterious chambers of Miss Cofren. where “what the women will wear’’ cos- tumes are turned out, but we confidently expect, we even waver, that all her crea- tions there will be just as prominent and attractive as that dress in black and white. ’28 Malden High School Design Course Seymore returns in September. He has had the courage to strike out into the ad- vertising design game in the West. It is not an unwise move, for his time in school has been assiduously devoted to a many- sided study of advertising art with some hours of instruction under Professor Files in advertising copy. The time which was lost from this program was spent in the buil ding of new friendships and the guard- ing of the class treasury and the student association. .A consistent designer shame- lessly devoted to the practical in .Art, as .solid as the State Street Trust, and blessed with the courage of his convictions, it is possible for us to predict Seymore’s suc- cess there, whether it is making safety razor ads or composing slogans for the backs of taxi cabs.

If you ask her opinion of your work, she won t say, “ ' Oh, I think it ' s perfectly wonderful,” no matter how terrific it may look, as people have been known to do. Rather, she will tell you gently, but with thorough honesty, just what she thinks. Not many can do that as nicely and sincerely as she does. Few can wear red better than Ruthie, whose brunette coloring it suits precisely. Do you recall how she looked in the scarlet dress in which she used to pose for us? I ' hat was something to remember.

But, alasl to think that such a charming person should show such an enthusiasm for bones. Yet all the assorted varieties, from the acromium to the superior anterior iliac crest give her a thrill. .Some day we e.xpect to see her tripping off to Park Street with a shin bone under one arm. a bee-hixe under the other, and a skull secreted in her pocket.

Who else could have passed the perspective course, and not only passed it, dearly beloved, but understood it and retained her reason and her gorgeous sense of humor? Who else could run the Year Book and its languish- ing staff with such unfailing zest? Hats off! Jess is devoted to medieval ladies and castles, a combination which, when accompanied by a few candles, she finds completely overpowering. .And there ' s nothing she likes better than a rich bit of purple-blue, unless perhaps it’s one Rud- yard, poet. Aloreover, Jess has been doing some great water colors lately, though she has modestly concealed the fact. Jessie is fine! .Always ready to laugh, to sympath- ize, or to help. .A gallant spirit and a warm heart that we all love. HENRY R. LINEH.AN Lincoln Street, North Easton, Mass. Boston College Dr.uving .xni) I’aintinc. Course Before seriously deciding on art as a vocation, Henry studied something or other at Boston College. Rightly judging that his talents merited a different tutoring he became reborn with the rest of us in 1925. He was soon one of the outstanding fig- ures of the class and was placed in the role of guiding .spirit when he was elected President last year. He is one of those serio-cheerio fellows with a thatch of red hair and a merr.v haw-haw, the sort of laugh that makes you laugh, too. Henry is proving that his prejudice for art is not at all unfortunate, as .A in Composi- tion is not even unusual for him. How- ever, he deserves all the credit he gets for he labors incessantly and with a will. -MYRTLE MacCARTHY 24 Reynolds .Avenue, Chelsea, Mass. Chelsea High School We remember once when Eleanor was called “Bozo,” but it just didn ' t fit. Xo- l)ody could be more unlike a Bozo — what- ever that is. She’s quiet and pleasant, and although she’s not exactly obvious, one misses her when she’s not around. We like the way she laughs when we tell a joke. Eleanor lives quite a way from school, being one of the Lunts of New- buryport. We hope that she’ll never find it too far to come. ’28 Teacher Training LIepartment Myrtle is one of the jolliest girls we know, as xvell as one of the most pleasant and obliging. There was one time when her willing efforts to please earned her a chicken chow mein — that is, the promise of one anyway. First it was to be an ice cream soda, but Myrtle ' voiced a prefer- ence for something more substantial and got it. There’s something about Myrtle’s third finger, left hand, we’d like you to know. .As we .said — there ' s something about it.

She knows it’s hard work that counts and is getting results. We don ' t mean that Mary ' s a grind — there aren’t any in our class anyway — but it would be nice if we all had the will to work that she has. Mary has a corking sense of humor, which is just as it should be. RONALD WHITMORE MURRAY 67 Eleanor Street, Chelsea. Mass. Design Course “Once bitten twice shy.” (Quotation by request.) Often strangers coming into the Design Room will inquire, Who is the handsome young man with the poetic back hair and the physiognomy that looks as though it were related to Lord Byron or Jack Bar- rymore?” Then the designers reply in chorus, “Our Nobul Duke. ' . 11 of the designers are agreed that Ronald is one of the only two stars in our galaxy that really look like artists. Moreover, he doesn’t merely look like one but is one. • nd, therefore, Mr. Murray, we hand you the prize of first page in this book, with our blessing. Besides, Duke writes wittily and well, witness the Class of 1902” in the .Art Gum and the uncensored squibs in this Year Book. For these many things we admire him, and for his fun, his friend- liness and his gentlemanly courtesy we sincerely like him. LUD TXA XOWAKA 15 Beale St., Dorchester. Mass. Teacher Training Departaient Somehow one associates Ludwina with medieval fairy tales, knights, and Nordic princesses with long blue gowns and ropes of golden hair. There is an air of the past about her, a dreaminess connected with mythology. In spite of her esoteric atmosphere, Winnie is practical, and does excel’ent work in her classes. Who else gets Mr. Brewster’s rare . plus? We unde stand that she studied at the . rt Museum .School before coming to us, which accounts for the neatness and delicacy of her work HAZEL REUTHER XEITZOLD 303 South St., Northampton, Mass. Teacher Training Course Most of us feel that Hazel is the typical college girl. Everything from the mando- lin and Moonlight on the Ganges’’ to Brooke House pranks justifies the conclu- sion. We wonder just exactly when that crafts room orchestra is going to organize. Hazel hails from Northampton, and, judg- ing from her, one might say that North- ampton also has its share of clever folk. Modeling and craft work are where Hazel’s creative ability is most effective. We think she ' ll make a wonderful teacher. DORIS OTTIXGER Meadow St., X ' orth Amherst, ] Iass. Design Course Dot and ‘ Bea help Mr. Martin run his crafts class, and when hand-made pins or rings are wanted, Doris is the girl who designs and makes them. She is one of the most dependable and enjoyable girls in the class and we are sure that Bea will enjoy her company at their shop in !Maine. Dot is always ready to lend a hand to the would-be craftsmen and many owe their success to her timely suggestions. We are sure that great happiness is ahead for her in crafts and that her friends will always call upon her for her company and jewelry. ROSE MOVITZ 2 7 Calder St., Dorchester, IMass. Teacher Training Department Rose always makes us think of a suf- fragist, probably because of the vigor and emphasis she puts into the merest sen- tence. Once we saw a picture of Emma Goldman and, although we like Rose and do not like Emma, we cannot help compar- ing the two and saying that they are very much alike. However, we feel that Rose is directing all her energy in right causes as contrasted to Emma. Some day we expect to see you leading a young army. Rose, an army of young people interested in art, and we know that you will direct them and inspire them with the emphasis and force that is your very essence. GERTRUDE I’ERLMAX 1 Clarkwood St., Mattapan, Mass. rRISCILLA PACKARD 68 Warren Street, Xeedham, Mass. Design Course The incomparable Priscilla seems to be a permanent class offi cer. For two years she has been on the staff of the Palette and Pen, and after her intoxicating articles in the Art Gum this year how can that maga- zine ever manage to stagger along without her? This little girl has a fondness for Holbein drawings, good books, and Ches- terton ' s Lepantn, and temporary weakness for inferior movies, the worse the better. But the thing that makes Priscilla the joy of our sorry lives is a gorgeous, rambunc- tious sense of humor. Through its magic her prose becomes nectar, her blithe poetry ambrosia, and we, insignificant mortals, gods feasting about the Olympian board. Perhaps she is Hebe; we know that she has an old-fashioned aversion to telephones. A. RUBY PERLMAX 22 Westminster .Ave., Roxbury, Mass. Teacher Training Course Design Course Gertrude has a youthful maturity that is not unpleasing. She always knows the latest songs, which she renders in the snappiest manner possible. Gertrude knows everything about everybody and is always rushing around to get to class on time. Usually, she manages. Unless some nice young man with red hair pops the ques- tion, we know that she will be a good teacher. Good luck, Gertrude. 28 Ruby and her affectionate nature! There are few persons who have not at some time or other been objects of her adoration. Then, too, she likes to tease one by keeping something desired in view hut just out of reach.. However, this, be- comes one of Ruby’s chief charms and we forgive her. Ruby lovese to- read unusual books. We find her reading in the lunch room, the locker room, and aloft. Ruby has taken courses at the evening school with Mr. Brewster, which speaks well for her interest in design.- mar(;ui-:rite r. scraxton 26 Lynmere Ave.. Lynn. Mass. Drawing and I’ainting Course Marguerite comes from Lynn. That fells us a great many things — Lynn is to Massachusetts what Florence once was to Italy- but it does not e.xpress Marguerite herself. In the three years that we have been in her class we have not come to know her very well. .She has no outstand- ing mannerisms or amusing sayings to make the writing of this easy. She has never confided her thoughts to us. or even her ambition. We are aware that Mar- guerite Scranton is a pretty blond with a nice complexion. We have found her to be pleasant, serious, hardworking and de- termined. We are certain that she is sin- cere and womanly, and that her ambition, whatever it may be. is worthy. May she reach her goal! GUSTAVE NIL.S ROUUOUND 60 Warren Avenue. Vlilton. Mass. MARJORIE MONTGOMERY READ 48 Irving St., W. Somerville. Mass. Somerville High School Drawing and Painting Course From the beginning of our Freshman year we have admired Marjorie’s classic profile, her refined manner and gently modulated voice. Flappers are nice but we are glad that she hasn ' t turned into one. We have a weakness for individuals. This girl who buys roses, and carries home leg bones to study is an individual. Some days she is positively ladylike, others as wilful and perverse as the wildest product of this coming generation — probably a re- action. liut mostly she is a very real girl, fond of candy, new restaurants, dainty clothes, good plays and almost any movies, dances and children ' s illustrated books. Vlarj is very .generous and obliging. She decorated the design room for our Christ- mas spread and, on the same day, played the lovely Princess in the Iluddhist epi- sode of the pageant. JACOH GEORGE ROSEN liERG 35 Baird St., Dorchester, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course If Jack were ever to plead “too busy,” we would take him at his word. Eor be- sides his studies, sign lettering and evening life class, he finds time to be president of the Junior class, business manager of the Arlgum, and advertising manager of the Palette and Pen. But we have never heard him pull that pathetic phrase— he enjoys doing things too much. He gets a kick from holding offices! .And we find pleas- ure in giving them to him because we value his alertness and business sagacity, because we esteem his artistic talent and respect his unswerving constancy of purpose, and because we like him. Why do we like Rose y? Well- Perhaps for his amiable disposition, his nice eyes, his amused smile and his charmingly boyish way of making speeches! GRACE ROUND 450 Warren .St., Brookline, Mass. Milton High School Drawing and Painting Course Drawing and Painting Course Our tall, blond basket-ball player. To Gus is given the praise due for the crea- tion of our clever cartoons. He is quite versatile, and even church murals do not phase him. He is ambitious to a degree and supplements day school with a night course at South Boston, so it is no wonder he is making such progress. He has a very droll and forgivable gift of cursing, which trait is especially evident in his naive criticisms. Gus is one of our so- cially prominent members, and has a weak- ness for female seniors. “Gracie ' s” long-determined liking for portraiture is to be satisfied on the fourth floor. She gives and receives much encouragement. Lydia is her foremost rooter and does her best to forestall Grace’s ambition to leave us for New York. The editors are extremely grateful for her help in preparing the copy for the printer. Alay Mr. Major set up only the best of groups before her easel. LOUISE M. SOUTHER 21 Goss Avenue, Melrose, Mass. Design Course “And grace that won who saw to wish her stay.” Louisey is subtle. She will turn a clever remark so c|uietly that it takes you with a surprise which makes it all the more laugh- able. There is a twinkle in her eye that will bear watching. Here, too, is poi.se. calm reserve, and a very real charm. We have yet to see her out of sorts. .Altogether, you see, an un- usually level-headed young person. .And in addition to all these other qualities, what could be more appropriate than that she should be decidedly nice to look at? DOROTHY GOODRICH THURLOW Cherry Hill, W. Xewbury, Mass. West Xewbury High School Sculpture Course BARBARA Sl’OI FORD 42 Williams Street, Malden, Mass. Dr.wving .and Painting Course “I’cT, in spite of all my meekness, Ij I have a little weakness. It ' s a passion jor a jlight of thunderbolts.” Barb, the girl with the cameo profile and the untrammelled voice. Barb, who, though staggering under editorial burdens, still finds a little time to indulge her im- peccable taste in literature, music, and art; the cinema, prize fights, and the most de- licious foolishness. Barb, whose writing and drawing are beautifully sensitive: Barb, who wears gray flannel shirts and plaid stockings, and studies the Spanish language, and, finally. Barb, whose thought is keen and stimulating, whose friendship is an enviable delight, and whose presence among us is ever cause for rejoicing. HELEX WICKHAM 32 Winnepuskitt .Ave , Lynn, Mass. .As we are known by the company we keep so are we assured of the intellectual attributes of Dorothy. Xow that Francis and Rosalie have left us — poor Dot is quite at a loss to find an appreciative and responsive side-kick. .Apparently, how- ever. she finds more than a little solace reading philosophical volumes between poses. .She is a determined individual and thinks her own thoughts most decidedly. We don ' t mind though, for a merry twinkle of blue eyes goes with every opposing con- vicition. and after all — who wants to be agreed with all the time? We don ' t gen- erally pretend to believe in signs, but nevertheless, from what we can see of Dotty ' s creative ability in the modelling room, there are some very evident guide posts pointing straight to success. .And lastly, though you may have guessed it, there is a hint of domesticity about Dot which only tends to confirm the oft re- peated truth (?) gentlemen prefer blondes.” CELESTIA WHITXEY 15 Fairfield St., Watertown. Mass. Costume Design Course Fine .Arts Course Helen is one other of the versatile group in Miss Cofren ' s room. X ' ot content with being a blond and ornamental addition to that room, she is one of the ' “doers.” She illustrates costumes, sings in plays. She is interested in pageants and plays and is appearing in the Repertory company in the present show. We feel safe in pre- dicting success in some one of her man talents. ’28 Words are rather inadequate when it comes to a description of Cellie. Besides a very obvious talent she has been given something fully as rare — a truly charming personality. She always goes hand-in-hand with merriment. Cellie is beginning to commercialize her sense of humor. Wit- ness — her recent contributions to Voodoo and College Humor. She is fond of the great outdoors and does everything well, from skiing at the Oakley Country Club to riding a burro down the side of the Grand Canyon. To him who hath is given and we wonder what further gifts the gods have to bestow. ARTHUR J. WILDE 240 Pleasant Street, Brockton, Mass. Brockton High School Design Course Mr. Wilde ' s excellencies as a manager are proved by the sudden and calamitous decline in efficiency after his temporary ab- sence from the office of Photographic Edi- tor of the Year Book. He returns, how- ever. this years once more to take up his brushes and paints among the Jacobean period furniture pieces of the Design Room. When I’anity Fair’s latest notes on style are immediately grabbed up by the college boys, there remains only a master- ful stroke by which one is sure of separa- tion from the mob of fashion’s dressers. Witness the green hat, and its sign of frank individuality. The hat accompanies its wearer into unexplored fields of books, stage and design. CHRISTINA G. YOUNG 39 Jascon St , .Arlington, Mass. RUTH WOODMAN 19 Brooklawn St., Lynn, Mass. Design Course Certainly she’s tall and slight Certainly a weight quite light Certainly we do admire This tall straight girl And her attire. .And we have loads of fun listening to Ruth ' s amusing little tricks of speech. She is so utterly good-natured, though, that she does not mind our laughing at all. Have you ever noticed her buying roses on a street corner? She tells us this is an expensive weakness. She must stop and buy, even though she be in danger of missing the last train to Lynn. I think we all know how witty Ruth is and what a scrumptious sense of humor she has. We are aware that in Design her taste runs to purple, a color which goes very nicely with her hair. RUTH WOODW. RD 165 Fair Oaks Park, Needham Design Course It seems hard to realize that Rufus” Woodward will some day, as her work promises, direct the designing of clothes and that her baby voice will give orders to her workers. In years to come, when Ruth ' s business is established and she comes back to speak to us at our assem- blies, may she always remember the high regard of her contemporaries for her com- panionship, and respect for her work when she was a humble Junior plugging away at a sewing machine. MARY SEDGWICK 9 -Ashton Place, Cambridge This little miss is full of “wim, wigor and witality.” Wherever you look for her she isn’t — she’s just gone somewhere else. VV e have an idea that she’s a bit flighty, but maybe this arises from the fact that she’s small .and very blonde. She and -Adelaide are always together. This must be so, for we have never seen them sep- arately. She works — like most of us — rather spasmodically, but when she does it’s intensive. We think she’s mighty at- tractive and we’re right glad she’s in our class. .A sort of special, special student is gen- tle Mary, and although she is not well known, due to her recent arrival, she is well liked. Mary looks as if the wind would blow her away, but size is no handi- cap. .She came from some middle west- ern college to us this year and is making her way very well. Alary is a life saver, having successfully passed the Red Cross exams. Some day were going to fall into the Charles just to have her fish us out. She speaks with a cultured college accent in a gentle voice that many would like to posse ' s. ZELLA BEXKIXGHAM Forest Grove, Oregon 1 1 E. Xew ton St., Boston, Mass. Parific University Drawing and Painting Course P ' rom Minnesota to Oregon, from Oregon to Massachusetts, thence to - ? We do not know Zella ' s actual geographic destina- tion, but we are all quite certain of her artistic one. Regardless of her talent and reputation, she works longer and more dili- gently than anyone else. This unceasing industry of our near paragon sometimes causes us to wonder why we do not. in the quaint manner of adolescents, scornfully dismiss her from our consideration with the word grind Instead we make her class secretary, covet her companionship, lavish affections upon her, and adore her idiosyncrasies. It must be that we ad- mire her frankness, her tolerance, her genuineness. ERROL GOFF 83 Dartmouth St., Everett. Mass. Design Course We wondered why the Design Room was so cold this winter. Why. you know, the water in our water-color cups froze to solidity, and we e.xpected some morning to find all Miss Hathaway ' s flock cold and stiff with their toes in the air. And then we discovered that Errol had been sitting on the register. When it comes to unflag- ging persistence and unremitting labor, Errol has all the stars in his crown. , nd even a little judicious wise-cracking isn ' t beneath his dignity, for he fairly scintil- lates at times, which always helps, espe- cially of a Thursday afternoon. THOMAS BAKER 10 Friends St.. Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass Special — Drawing and Painting Tom had tried the Xew School of De- sign before the M. S. .A. last year. Evi- dently he is attracted artistically and so- cially to this school. His chum, Dick .An- drews, scenic paints in Xew York, but Tom prefers to stay with the still lifes and Mr. .Andrew ' s life drawing classes. He paints well and use charcoal with increasing abil- ity. If he studies here, as he plans, four more years, then what is to prevent his ar- riving? .At noon he joins the dance ad- dicts in the hall and indulges in the school ' s most popular form of exercise, a trifle strenuous at first, but quite the thing after one becomes hardened to it. HUGH SMITH Concord St., Billerica, Mass. Special Drawing and Painting Course Hugh is that quiet lad, with the big brown eyes, who divides his time between Mr. .Andrew’s life class and Mr. Alajor’s studio on the top floor. We are afraid that part of the school doesn ' t know him, but the Fine .Arters all do, and they agree that Hugh is a “good scout.” Hugh came to us from Tech where he planned on specializing in Chemical engineering; but an accident gave him ample time for reflection, and when he recovered enough to return to studying he decided that .Art was the thing, and so he deserted Tech for us. Hugh ' s father is a well known etcher, and his works may be seen frequently at the Vose Gallery. We wish Hugh all success and hope he will be true chip of the old block.” MARY DEMP.SEY 186 Clifton Street, Malden Costume Design Course Good things come in half pints. But Alary ' s modesty will not let her agree. She is dark, petite and fulfilling all ru ' es of complementary types, is interested to what degree it matters not. in tall persons. That her understanding and good taste are cred- itable we do not question. Proof if neces- sary comes from the keen fashion drawings that the ' ady produces in Mi=s Cofren’s room. We are so optimistic, rightfully so, that we admit only one possibility that her drawings will not grace Vof;ue or Harper’s, and since the choice in the matter is her own, we are content. BETTY LAXE Falls Church, Yirginia Western High School. Washington ROSALIE SLOCUAI 72 Thornton Road. Roxbury, Mass. Drawing and Pai.nting Course Special Drawing and Painting Course Few specials ever attain the popularity that is Betty ' s. We knew her first as the blond in the yellow smock who inspired Mr. Major to tell us of Raphael ' s golden- haired and golden-robed angels. Within a year of her arrival at AI. S. A., Betty was elected Literary Editor of the Art Gum. Tradition decrees that the person holding this office must write the art news, an undesired and awful job. She has filled her difficult position to the satisfaction of everyone, including Air. Jamison. Betty Lane ' s reviews of exhibitions are delightful because of their simple, rational treatment and freedom from conventional phrasing. tVe remember that Air. .Andrew made a dry point of her, surely a very great honor. .And the Girls ' .Athletic Club chose her for its treasurer last season and its secretary this time. Betty represents the finest type of .American girl — intellectual but athletic, unaffected but full of interest, feminine but self-sufficient. o . ' o 0 N Rosalie will be long remembered as “Air. Alajor ' s little lady, that loves music, for almost every Friday afternoon she could be found hours ahead waiting for the doors of Symphony Hall to be opened. Xext in her affections for interest were her books which she read between rest periods and in the lunch room at noon, consequently giving her a knowledge of things which she was able to talk about fluently and intel- ligent’y to her interested listeners, who usually assembled in the modeling room. We missed her when she left us to take charge of the music and drawing depart- ments of the school in Terryville, Connecti- cut. but her leaving was done so quietly that we were spared the unhappy necessity for making farewells. The class wishes her all success and happiness at her new work. RHODA WINSLOW HATHAWAY 3 7 Ivy Street, Boston, Mass. Costume Design Course There are few of us who really know Rhoda of the Puritan profile and wide gray eyes. Those who do. value her clear- minded philosophy, which is always so straight from the shoulder and devoid of any manner of symbolism. But we all know that she is chuck full of courage and of an unwavering determination — so that her Puritan ancestors may well be proud of her. ELEANOR S. SMITH 17 Day Avenue, Westfield, Mass. Te. ciier Tr.mning Department We wondered and wondered who Eleanor Smith was, and then someone asked, “Why, don’t you know ‘Jimmie’?” That shows what’s in a nickname. We didn ' t know her by her real one! Jimmie is a quiet girl and likable. She has those heavy par- allel eye lines that Mr. .Andrew says women should have to emphasize beauty. How- do we know that Jimmie is on the road to fame? Simply by this — she high hats us with great vigor and wears a bob that is famous in itself. ADELAIDE RE BANE 26 Danford St., Jamaica Plain Teacher Training Course “, friend in need is a friend indeed.” Many friends with perplexed heads has “.Add helped through the perspective problems. She is a good sport with a confirmed liking for fudge cake and the movies. She has made a batik for Mr. Brewster, a medieval design, with a richly gowned princess riding a flower- covered horse, . delaide entertains the class with her amusing reports of class ob- servation. illustrated with drawings of the children at work and at play. She has much patience and promises to be a fine teacher. HELEN LOUISE STUART 8 West Street, Milton, Mass. South High School, Worcester, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course The junior assembly made us all de- votees of Helen’s singing. Mr. Major has made the lower classmen worshippers at the shrine of her Mancini technique. The girl is good. Music or painting, she may take her pick. Aleanwhile she hums arias as she wields her brushes, draws adver- tisements for a furniture company, plays basketball with the other members of the Girls’ Athletic Club, reads books that are belles lettres, gets acquainted with alt the freshmen and sophomores, improvises yard upon yard of hilarious doggerel, and dreamily plans on the concerts she would like to hear. Helen is sincere, cordial and amiable — a delightful companion. She is a person one is happy to have for an ac- quaintance, proud to have for a friend. FR.ANCES SHAW SS Pacific Street, Rockland, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course The maid with the red-gold hair who worked with us for two years and part of a third is Franny of the bright smile and happy greeting, of whom Major Hoosier said. She ' s no bigger than a half pound of soap after a hard morning ' s wash.’’ .At times she was accompanied to her classes by the big famous dog who re- fused to “charge but was an obliging model for the modelers. “Franny” is visiting the South now, but when she re- turns she will resume her fine charcoal drawing work. FRANCES BERKOWITZ 23 Charlotte St., Dorchester, Mass. Dr.uving and Painting Course Frances is known around school as the girl in the pink smock. This is her second year with us after work in the B. U. and Syracuse fine arts departments. She is devoted to drawing, painting and anatomy, and shines in them all. She is also pas- sionately fond of Schrafft ' s autos, and Rodin, if they may be mentioned in the same breath. She would like to be a portrait painter, and she is a constant worker in Mr. .Andrews’ class. -■ o utograpfjs; “ 1927 ” DON ' T know why you ask for a Class History, unless wanting a synchronistic synopsis to elaborate as your particular memoirs provide. There seems to be a general insistence on some sort of Book of Deeds with Key. That’s all comfortable convention, because you know damned well thy soul thoughts are the only worth-while interpretations of “Four Years in . rt School” or “Scholastic Dramas with Biological Ballets.” But perforce, I sit in the most geometric angle, in an attic of agony, simpering like a beating my brows, cursing my pen, and altogether prostrating myself in an effort to recover the glory that was ours. Starting with the .American, “Say, kid, you remember the time?”— we do, our first en- trance into the Royal realms, our frightful adjustments, hazing, eliminations, which didn’t eliminate, smocking and studio labors. You cannot forget Air. Brewster’s leading us to the Sargent Estate, whether or not you enacted any Fragonard scenes, because of the pastry and foliage. Suffuse yourselves with the picturesque jargon of Air. Alajor, cast away a hairline impression of Air. Cain, and honor the memory of all other monarchs. The importance and wonder of the Copley “Pageant” goes without saying. Y hen Sophomores, we clung together (rather), starting off with revenges against various rebels. Soon we settled to work, in Stygian woe. with intersections of the direst shades, puddles of watercolor, data of .Art History, the lure of the .Antique and the danger of poisoned ventila- tion in a certain room. The “census of opinion” has it that this w as the most fatiguing year. We made it a practice the Junior Year to accompany all our speech with the intriguing awkwardness of the Charleston. While this need not have been the full cause of our long unrest, inasmuch as we had chosen our narrow paths of specialization, it is true that this year brought greater leisure and more interesting extensions of the ego. The Tall One, the Ec- centric, the Sober, the Coy, the Rhythmic, the Xize, all exposed themselves to our censure, and in fact the whole “set-up” of the universe became so silly and futile we often hied ourselves to the Metropolitan or Repertory to snatch some small cheer. It was rumored there was a Junior Prom. Since independence is precious, and since the solidarity of cliques should be preserved, we made this year an exclusive series of intrigues, now impossible to distintegrate. When Seniority had descended, one another of us had left for connubial bliss, or factory strife, or gone to garner the greatness of Broadway, or acquire the smooth “Bimbo” accent from uptown Emporiums, or commute with suburbs which begged for pedagogic help, or just simply returned to the grimness of atelier to glory in the craft. We collected ourselves for a proper Senior dance and then relocated in another humdrum manner. We watched lower classes exerting themselves to have a Bohemian frivolity and saw the appearance of black bottom and other phases of propriety. It is absurd now to forecast the tremendous finale we expect, but it is logical to predict that like all pleasures and pains the mass effect of four years will sink into the subconscious. Don ' t be shocked as one another succumbs to the vices of this Vale of Tears, and remember if in after years you are given a go-by, that the tie that binds (synapse) has weakened just with time, if not with maliciousness. From Smocking to Commencement, some have considered this in the phrase of Cook’s “One glorious holiday, teeming with color, odor, and people.” Some will merely arch eye- brows and shoulders, refusing to comment. Others will look up from their industries and say, “Why discuss the obvious?” Some acquire a bleak wateriness of the eye and murmur some gem about the vista of the Future. The last few give you a slow squint and say, “Thanks, though I lost my pride ” The really eloquent are speechless. W. F. B. CL. SS OFFICERS .Albert M.acGunigle, President W.alter F. B.artch, Treasurer Charles F. Menges, Vice-President Peter Kean, Secretary HKLEX AHKLL S Norway Road, Milton Design Course Helen is a wee blond ladee who is al- ways in the best of humor. Such a merry and happy disposition as she has! She is also a diligent and careful worker. Her enthusiasm should carry her far as a de- signer. She reads much and has many new and unusual ideas. Her desk in the de- sign room is often the centre of a group which assembles at lunch time and enjoys the comradely spirit of the design room. RUTH , ULD 212 Newbury St., Boston, Mass. High School of Practical . rts Design Course Ruth has branched out in her activities this year and has gone into the theatrical business, — Meet me downstairs at the Copley!” In 1926 Ruth did parts at the Repertory. She has always had a “ ' bug” on things of the theatre, and she has an advantage over the commuters with her town address. .Although her work outside keeps her away one or two afternoons she makes it up by industrious labor when she is just a student. E. RL B. SSETT 60 Grand View . venue, Wollaston Teacher Training Course sword and clock would be more fitting garb for the Earl than the schoolmaster ' s robe he is to assume. Many interesting things have teacher-training students learned from him about field and camp. This man with confident, determined views on many subjects, is one of our class de- baters. Just shaking his head often proves the point. All this, and not a word about his eyelashes — oh, well, regard those for yourself! — but not to the extent that you forget more important gifts. WALTER BARTSCH 38 Moraine Street, Waverly Teacher Trumng Course Here ' s to King Walter, pride of the teacher training class. His every word is law, and his variety without number. Wal- ter follows in the footsteps of countless visionaries, who, since the first dawn, have felt this world to be lacking in skill and genius. Walter takes his teaching very seriously: nevertheless he bows to play an important part in schoolroom routine. Walter ' s water colors are vigorous, his rapid sketches delightful and his attractive etchings were a delightful surprise to every- one. It is hard to believe that such gra- cious talent walks sedately, if not silently, in our midst. LOUISE E. BECKERT 181 Redington St., Swampscott, Mass. Lynn Classical High Teacher rR.UNiNG Course The girl with the near-blond hair and the curl right down the middle of her fore- head! The girl with the ambiguous smile, one that says, ‘‘Oh, sure I do!” but who really doesn ' t. Louise seemed to be rather inveigled into romance (you can invert the phrase), but now is determined upon celibacy. Small wonder since she has be- come so fascinated with the “Psychology of Child Aesthetics.” Well, if Lou con- tinues her gymnastics, frankness, and dis- cussions she will retain her schoolgirl com- plexion and good nature. As they say in your clique, “The best of luck, dearie, but have your good times!” FLOREXCK IJESSOM 1 1 WashiriKton St., Marlilehead, Mass. Modeli.ng Course “Extra” might well be the title of the little plasterline newsboy. It is almost ptossible to hear him shout. This ragged, diminutive paper carrier is Flossie’s latest opus. Our slender, browne-eyed Flossie is exceedingly modest beneath her laurels which she so surely deserves. Fler two works, “The Goose-girl ' and the fountain figure were exhibited at Horticultural Hall. Her weakness is for modeling youngsters. We hope that she encourages it and that we may have many reliefs with that sub- ject. M. RY BR.ACKETT 91 Bushnell Street, Ashmont, Mass. Teacher Training Course FM’.EL E. BROOKS 21 Pilgrim Road, Waban. Mass. N ' ewton High School Design Course From nine until four (?•■) one may find Mabel plugging away in the Design room and when she is not there one invariably finds her in the Library, scouring around the books and magazines for inspiration rooter for outdoor sports she finds it necessary to open all the windows during class to let in plenty of fresh air, con- sequently her classmates must tack down their drawings and let the merry breezes whistle around them. She seems to be fond of drawing clouds, eating at the Standish, churning with Kay and keeping a thought for all her friends. TY.WE BISHOP 131 Pilgrim Boulevard, Quincy, Mass. Modeling Course Tynne, of the name which is never correctly pronounced, and her gay spar- kling laugh are to be found in the Senior modeling room where she works the clay with a skillful touch. Her figure of the shepherd lad smells of sweet mountain flowers. Sculpture does not monopolize her time, for Tynne is equally at home playing a concerto or making a little clay lady. Some day we will see a piece of her work photographed for a magazine and we will say that we knew she would be successful. I.EOI.A BLOXAM Long Pond, Maine Westbrook Seminary, Portland, Maine Can you all imagine Mary a full-fledged school marm, or haven’t you visited the schools for some time and noticed the changing appearance of the faculties? There seems to be no question of Mary’s inten- tion to teach, but she is not. be it re- marked. figuring on ever being eligible for the teacher ' s pension. She has other plans. Her lists of friends extend to other classes, and her social work in saving the starving art students’ lives with the cookies and sweets she brings to the lunchroom have endeared her to many hearts. . 11 success to her good intentions and strength to her purpose. Retail Tr. de Course Lee exemplifies the phrase “easy to look at.” She has a delightful style sense which is most noticeable in her own trim little figure. She never overdoes anything; al- ways omits non-essentials. We are aware of poise, action, and a sense of the dra- matic. She is aggressive and independent, yet modest; mature, yet maidenish; self- confident, yet not conceited. Lee changed from Teaching to the Retail Trade Course, and we hear rumors of her joining the art branch- of the most progressive store in Boston. She is domestic, too. You should see her copyrighted method of cutting out a gown-to-be. She will be “Em”-ployed as housekeeper before many years have gone by, and no doubt will cook many tooth- some dishes which will be a delight to her ball and chain. LILLIAN BURGOVNE 30 Shore Avenue, Salem. Mass. Dr.wving and Tai-nting l Iore talent from the North Shore. When Lillian is assistant to the instructor in life class it is Miss Hurgoyne. and very hard to imagine the other Miss Hurgoyne who takes and gives lots of fun. Silent and deep in her work, we feel skittish and empty-headed when we face her earnest- ness. But the other no less admirable Miss Hurgoyne is the guiding spirit and champion of the Girls ' . thletic Club. We have her to thank for the arrangement for the great outing of the school at Riverside in the spring, h ' orthwith shall her praises be sung. RUTH COBURN Franklin Square House, Boston Tkacher Training Course Gigsiel Her name tells all. What more can be said of this friendly Ver- monter? Good times and friends, in school and outside, are all influenced by her unchanging cheerfulness. Ruth seems to have less trouble with her ’ ' children than any other pupil teacher; no doubt her naturalness and vivacity are respon- sible for that. THEODORE S. COTILLO 40 W. Eagle St.. E. Boston, Mass. East Boston High School Sculpture Course “.Ask Toddo, he ' ll know where it is.” Yes, indeed, Toddo, would be only too glad to find you the shellac, the hammer, help you with that inner mould, or whatever the forlorn student is seeking. What would the modeling students do without him? But for that matter, what would slender, sleek haired little — but perhaps this is not the proper place to speak of that. Dancing, painting sparkling water colors of the Maine woods, and carv- ing are Toddo’s chief leisure time sports. His busts and reliefs, his figures and the sketches for his war memorial leave us all open mouthed at this protege who really works hard. No, we are con- vinced Toddo will never ornament a dusty attic. .ALICE COTTON 47 Morton Road. Phillips Beach. Alass. Costume Design Course .Alice — our brunette! The lady of the sparkling brown eyes and charming man- ner, and a gift for e.xpressing just ‘‘.Alice’’ in her sketches which are delicate but vivid, subtle but naive. .According to one of her classmates she is The Girl Friend personified. Unfortunately .Alice decided against the fall trip to New A ' ork, but is planning one for this spring which is mak- ing the other Costume Designers all too envious. She would go them one better! We somehow can ' t imagine .Alice actually working, not that she wouldn ' t be capable of it, but we often wonder if she will put her talents to practical use. ESTHER CURRY 22 Warren .Avenue. Whitman. Mass. Whitman High School Teacher Training Course Here is a vigorous .Amazon, administra- tive. sincere, and naughty. But you ' d never fully estimate Curry at a glance, nor after four years of staring. Just after you have catalog ‘.ed her she appears in a costume or a conversation that so affects either you or her that you both begin again. Curious isn ' t it how stage lights, a little pulsating rhythm, or even the public schools can alter this one? She surveys a galaxy of sugge tions but they vary between royal and wrecky. Perhaps she ' ll turn out just a waitress. She is exasperatingly apt. and, in spite of her dignified structure and de- fiant squint, her name is still Woman. .And if she tosses her talents to the winds we shall be saddened, but not surprised, for we shall know that her Platonism col- lapsed. LESLIE DIAMOND 93 Chester Ave,, Chelsea. Mass. Design ' Course ‘‘Les” is a wandering sheep. He has gone barging off to a perfectly wonderful job designing furniture, leaving the Senior Designers sadly in need of men. His fame lests on his delightful caricature of the faculty last year as well as the striking excellence of his work under Mr. (leorge. He registers thoughtfulness and earnest endeavor from his photograph. Bui like a typical Bostonian, he is not cold, he is just calm, for his water colors are brilliant excitable pieces of work and notoriously successful. ! LEO DOHERTY IRENE DUNTLIX 14a .Ashford Street, .Allston Teacher Traini.n ' g Course Irene Duntlin, one of our intellectuals, has a charming wit. and a clever way with words. She has at her tongue ' s end many unusual quotations and flashing little gems of knowledge. To some of us it seems as if Irene knows all there is to know, — and a chapter more. Her abilities however, never intrude at the expense of the regard her classmates have for her and her school work. 10 Normal Street, Worcester, Mass. North High School Teacher Training Department Leo has been too busy with pedagogy to perform with our basketball team this year, though we feel certain that when he is located he needs must join another team to consume his energy. He pretends that he may take it out on his discordant disciples, but we dare say that his organi- zation will be more subtle. Smile away, you capable male, and as they were wont to say in the gay nineties, Here ' s to you. my jolly good fellow. ' ’ ESTHER DRAPER 5 56 Washington Street, Dorchester, Mass. •Arlington High School Costume Design Course If ever there was maid sincere in her friendships and her work, we have a fine example in Et-ta.” She is one to be counted on for every task she undertakes, no matter whether it’s class problems or social committees (or climbing the Wool- worth Tower I ), She is for tunate enough to be one of the Costume Designers who worked on the Dutchman ' s Island for ninety odd days, and as for the night.s — her redheaded roommate can vouch for those! There is not a doubt but that Esther will make a success of her life after her graduation from M. S. .A. ELEANOR A. FAYERWEATHER 185 Davis .Avenue. Brookline, Mass. Brookline High School Costume Design Course Here is an excellent example of an exotic -American. One is reminded of a Russian wolfhound, especially when she wears the doggy gold collar around her haughty throat. She is what makes New A ' ork in Boston. She is a combination of the Champs Elysees and Boylston Street. Her style selection is excellent: beyond censure, and she is sure of her type, which is unusual. Eleanor has elegant poise if desired and amazing contortionism on the other hand. She is socially accomplished. Her corpuscles are cobalt, her skin is ivory, her hair is glossy, near-black. The more you know her the better you like her. but she is difficult of acquaintance. .Anyway, she prefers the Scotch. ARTHUR i:s i-:r 1 Kingston Street, Reading, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course “Art” has ambitions of liecoming an illustrator. He deserves to realize a successful career. His praises of the work he does for the composition class are sung throughout the painter ' s studios. _ t times the urge for a non-scholastic loaf takes him away for a rest from , rt’s lalrors, but. for the most part, his industry is fairly constant and without permanent break in quality. To the lower classman he assumes a sort of nobility because of the large canvasses which he carries into the school, but the senior painters insist that he is a comer. SHIRLEY GRAHAM S8 Summer St., Saugus, Mass. Lynn English High School Costume Design Course MORRIS GREYSER 166 Magnolia Street, Roxbury Drawing and Painting “Life” would be quiet without “Moe” Greyser. His particular trouble seems to be Life Painting Specials. He finds the time, however, to pilot the destinies of the school basketball team around the state to games. Morris is training for teaching, but his work stamps him as a painter. His triumph this year occurred in the Conqxisi- tion class. .An abstract composition so successful that the painting department head photographed it because a picture could be seen in whatever position the canvas was held. Some claimed even to see one on the reverse side. Murals or teaching — we bank on Morris. ROBERT HAU.X 497 E. 4th St., .South Boston, Mass. South Boston High School Drawing a.nd Painting Course “You gotta make the shapes, eh, Gar- vey?” , brilliant and famed saying of Mr. Haun. one of the most talented of the younger set. Despite teaching in the Life classes and painting murals he finds the time to steadily gain credit in composition and swing his brush in a grandiose man- ner. Between moments of thumping his firm and virile chest and dashing from easel to palette, the while audibly criticiz- ing his own work for the instruction of the other painters, he manages to aid those lieginners who appreciate his assistance and like his friendly ways. -MARJORIE E. HOLMES 86 Grove St.. .Auburndale. Mass. . bbinglon High School, Philadelphia, Pa.; Burlington High School, Burlington, Yt. Shirley has suddenly become addicted to things which are English, though she wasn’t influenced by Eleanor even if she did live with her for two months! Ye were all a little skeptical about Shirley’s venturing to the “big city but like most quiet people she fooled us and not only survived its bustle and glamour but even liked it a little! She is one of the most lovable girls in the M. S. .A. and truly sincere in her work. She delights in daintiness of line and color which express her own blondness and pale skin — except when she blushes! .And Shirley has that down to a science! Design Course “Governed by a strain oj music” -A consummate designer, teacher, dancer, skater, and an elocutionist whose forte is imitations of three-year-olds telling the world. She is already established in com- mercial work. Ye are quite confident that she will have her own studio in Boston next year and supply Boylston Street wdth “figures of females.” Even Gus has placed his stamp of approval upon “Marge.” KATHARINE INGALLS 10 Summit Avenue, East Lynn, Mass. Lynn High School Costume Design ' Course One of those quiet girls. Who said that? • sk Eleanor, or Esther, or any other Cos- tume Designer and fee what she says. Two months in New York with Kay was enough to disprove any statements to the effect that she wasn ' t positively noisy.’ However, she ' s not in New York now, but right in our dear old Boston, in fact, our own M. S. .A. (sniff! sniff!! — June being nearly here!) and she continues to be noisy! ■Seriously though. Kay is (I was going to say “a peach, but remembered Mr. Jami- son just in time) the kind who works con- scientiously and makes the best of every- thing, whether it be good or bad. RUTH JAGGER 233 Main St., Sanford, Maine Sanford High School Design Course “She was the mildest mannered gal.” Ruth, or ' Jackie, is small in height but high in the percentages she gets in her de- sign work: although she hails from the potato section she has become quite a natural Bostonian in her quiet way, hav- ing lived in the big city for four years, now. Jackie figures the old home town is about the best place to spend vacations, and when graduation rolls around she will grab her sheepskin and hike for the woods. Teacher Training Course O! mauve ink Don Juan! No woman can resist your charms, no man your wit. Even instructors are not immune, and smile upon you with gentle favor. Dam- sels await thee at every turn of the stairs, and every angle of the corridors. In the field of art your unconventional technique is as refreshing as yo ' .ir manner in the gift of love! , nd yet, withal, you are a schol- arly teacher. PETER I. KEAN 32 Garden St., Brighton. Mass. High School of Commerce Teacher Training Course Oh, valiant warrior, mighty fortress, and invincible judge of righteousness, carry on the dying torch, and light the world to a more perfect realization of all its foibles! Ve shall ever need the stentorian echo of your voice: we shall always rely on the fierceness of your ardor and the universe shall be saved — or damned Meanwhile we know you will be controlling the ruc- tions of your classes, painting more por- traits and altogether setting a strong, ex- ample of political honesty, derived from the refinements of Boston. .Mlons!

LAWRENCE KITTREDGE 17 Birch Street, Clinton IRENE LAMBERT 3S Dewey Street, Dorchester Teacher Training Course Irene goes her own sweet way, unmo- lested, seemingly unoccupied, till suddenly you realize that some particularly dainty and fragile piece of work which you see was made by her. She is so quiet in class you often wonder if she is there, and some- times she isn ' t. However, if, for any rea- son, you do not find Irene, just look for her in the lunchroom where, with her inseparable Peg, you will find her in earn- est conversation with the lunchroom man- agement. KATHARINE LINCOLN 24 Moreland St., Newton Centre, Mass. Newton High School Design Course “Kay” is a fluffy blonde who is insep- arable from Mabel. Besides worrying about the amount of work which she has to do (and always has completed on time), she worries about catching her train. She is constantly urging Mabel to hurry. We cannot understand how she can manage so Avell her many affairs, and Harvard graduates, together with her school work. The more power to you, Kayl We are a bit skeptical about the length of her career, however, as an engagement ring and a hope chest take much of her time. BEATRICE A. LORD 41 Bromfield Road, West Somerville, Mass. Somerville High School Design Class Betty is the other half of the hard- workin’est free-lance designers in the Class of 192 7. She was Sophomore Class Sec- retary. Junior Class Secretary and Treas- urer of the 1926 Year Book. In this lat- ter office she made more money than the pernicious Ponzi, but all this vigorous mental energy doesn ' t mar her girlish charm and friendly disposition. ALICE LEVI 139 Ashland St., Roslindale, Mass. High School of Practical Arts Teacher Training Course One of the school’s most supple intelli- gentsia, .31ice prefers to curl her and feel sweetly lethargic, Init does she? We would be much more happy to know whether •Alice is destined to be an ornament to society or a caustic leader. Whatever her place Alice is interesting. .Anybody who is difficult to analyze is interesting. We won ' t even project her probable occupation for, as someone said. .Anything is usual from the unusual.” REIN.A LEEK 14 Cushing Hill Road, Dorchester, Mass. Teacher Training Course She truly has the poise and manner which immediately suggests queenliness. VV’e are reminded of the Flemish painter’s ladies in satins and high, lace collars. Those who know her have the pleasure of her quick intelligence and sympathy which glow Avith a sparkle of humor. Her conversations are not confined to the teacher ' s rooms. She finds an agreeable audience among the designers who are interested in new books. J V - ' S ■ ■ 1 O ; ARTHUR C. LOWE 196 Massachusetts Ave., East Lexington Teacher Training Course ‘‘Acee.” which nickname is derived from the contraction of A and C, is the architec- tural and mechanical expert whose biggest achievement this year has been the re- building of his pupils, classes to whom he teaches, on invitation, the gospel of Mr, Ray. ■•.■ cee and his gang manage to tear along through school with a creditable record for good work and a liberal educa- tion from the worth-while movies. Every- thing but refreshments is served between classes when the gang holds open house on the lower floor. MARGARET McGINNIS 9 Woodbine Street, Worcester, Mass. Teacher Trai.ning Course All the nice adjectiv ' es we might con- scientiously give to this young lady we do not, not because of our inability, but be- cause we prefer to let her compliments com e from other sources. Her hobby seems to be for informal talks In the lunch room to the accompaniment of munching peanut bars. Her chum is Irene and they help to brighten the lives of the serious teacher trainers. Winthrop High School Design Course We really cannot say enough in favor of ‘•Mac.” He is one of our most popular students because of his keen, humorous, cheerful personality, and friendliness. He is also one of those people who are essen- tial to have around when help is necessary. Besides being our class President, last year’s class Treasurer and Business Man- ager of the -Art Gum, a member of the basketball team, and several other things, he performs such duties as answering faculty phone calls and opening our class room windows. One other thing must be said, although a Scotchman, his generosity is fatal to himself, as every one uses something of Mac’s. MARIE FOLCARELLI 39 Church Street. Lynn, Alass. Teacher Training Course Dark haired and dark eyed, immutable as a painted Mona Lisa, Alarie is a lis- tener in almost all the classes where the teacher trainers assemble. But even if her recitations are not long she thinks a great deal. -Marie plays the piano gorgeously, ; models well, and hands in assignments to Miss Whittier which are a joy. We some- times wish that Marie would get up in class and in a loud and dreadful voice tell all the world, instead of talking things over Avith a select few after the lecture. ; Teacher Training Course Ethel McKeown wears her haughty dig- nity like armor, but once the lance of good fellowship has pierced this one knows her as a very friendly and likable person. -Apt to be a little critical of others, Ethel may be e.xcused, for she measures every- thing by her own standard of good taste, which is high. Ethel is enamored of niechanical drawing and intends to keep it within calling distance in case teaching proves less fascinating than she expects it to be.

I paid ten bucks to see that tattooed Scotch ladyee,” sinss Charles Fitz Hugo in a happy sotto voice, dashing paint upon canvas in the brisk atmosphere of the painting room. He is a very busy man. Teaching at Mr, George ' s school and doing murals leave him only a few moments to explain our mistakes by telling us how he does it, ,Seldom, be it remarked, can the peace be preserved in the face of such vigorous criticism, but preserved it is since we have a whole-hearted regard for Charlie and his talent. Therein lies the whole story. But “Sh, a little less noise, please. MARGARET MILLER 2 7 Linden Street, .Arlington, Alass. Costume Design Course A serious, dignified young lady. .Always foremost at social functions, assisting, plan- ning and leading the school dances and as a result getting more enjoyment from her work because of her interest. Mar- garet ' s career is to be in costume design- ing. She is one of the group that went to Xew A ' ork with Aliss Flint, and returned with an interesting number of stories on the high life of Gotham and its disastrous effects on the morals of the innocent young girls from ' Bosting. She is a shining light at noon dancing over our capacious hall, with the light of the sun shining through her red hair. FAY MERRILL 269 Lowell .Ave„ Xewtonville, Alass. Retail Trade Course Fay is our gloom dispeller, a clever im- personator, quick witted. gay and alert. But never for one moment be under the impression that this consists of all that .goes on in F ' ay ' s head. Under all this well developed debonair is a serious intellectual mind, with a thorough understanding and appreciation of the best that is in every- one. Just learn to know this other side of her as her outward self and you have an unusual personality that creates peace, joy and interest wherever she goes. Fay is in this new Retail Trade course and seems extremely interested in it She also appre- ciates the humorous side of the subject, especially store life and the people she meets. HELEX AIOVSE 52 Chester .Avenue. Waltham, Mass. Teacher Training Course X.ATH.AX .XAYOR 1 706 Xorth Shore Road, Revere, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course .A very elusive young person. It is rather hard at times to realize that all the differ- ent angles of her character are consistent. .As a student and teacher she is reserved, composed and quiet. But we hear so many reports of her outside activities; Proms, house parties, carnivals, et cetera, that we are forced to consider this side of her nature also. .A gay, frivolous, and happy girl We wonder if, in the future, when she is immersed in a successful business which requires much of her time, she will still have time for the fun of today. ‘ X ' at now swings into the last year at this school, having covered the course in rather quicker time than the I ' reshmen with whom he entered in ' 24 and assisted in the Smock Day antics. His imitation of one of our own painting instructors was good, so good that Xat has continued with the role, with improvements, including the moustache, and is incidentally in a fair way to become one of the good paint- ers. Certainly his authoritative way of quashing all audible visitors to the portrait class who disturb his peace is a little like the manner of our own monarch of the fourth floor. ALICE O ' HEIR 241 Clark Road, Lowell. !Mass. Graduated from Trinity College Design Course Sweet Alicel We wonder if the name could be borne by one more suitable. Her .A. B. from Trinity certainly lends dis- tinction to the Designers’ Class. Her class- mates are glad that she decided to round out her training with three years at AI. S. A. Besides working steadily for Mr. George, she does outside research work at the Copley Theatre. Patience and stick- to-it-iveness are two of the surest roads to success. May you leave this school with a degree of skill equal to your former one of studiousness. ARLEXE PACKARD 45 Fairmont .Ave., Saugus Teacher Training Course Somewhere up front listening and getting all the news in teacher-training sits .Arlene with two ears for business and work. But her dissertations and elaborate arguments come after class only, and then, to her group of friends. Her interest in children, and pleasing voice will make her a charm- ing teacher and help her to maintain the decorum of the school room despite the youthfulness of her appearance which is at once both an advantage and a disadvan- tage Her athletic club exercises leave her in good condition for the rigors of the Cambridge Skating rink. DORIS PORTER 60 Prospect Street, Reading, Mass. Costume Design Doris is the very charming girl of the costume room whose chief concerns are Helen. finishing dates for problems, or very modestly refusing credit for her well- done work. We have often wondered what particular wiles she tries on the traffic officers who allow her to have the right of way as she drives about our city. She has been making a tour of the stores with her portfolio, and comments have been favorable and very encouraging. She will soon have her work in the papers and magazines. ’27 MARGARET PAGE 2C First St., Derby, Maine Teaceier Training Course ‘■Pe.ggie,” who hails from Maine, has been sending the editors of the A’ear Book ver 5 ' sincere messages of sympathy, for the state of mind or lack of it among those Juniors who fill the places which she con- trolled last year have brought back tender memories and ready expressions of her commiseration. Peggie works away calmly without bugle-blowing flourishes, with the result that her work is finished perfectly and leaves her time to explore Cop.ey Square. Her friendliness enfolds the Teachers ' class like a gay Scotch scarf, leaving no one out. A.XXA PASAKARXTS 301 1 Broadway, South Boston Teacher Training Course .A little girl so very much alive that her words just trip and fall over each other in their hurry, leaving a breathless some- one. now you see, now you don ' t. .A chatty, pretty Jack-in-the-box. Surpris- ingly still in classes, she saves her wise wit for her appreciative audienc e, which she has no trouble to keep interested, even to time when .Anna takes up pen and paper to de- scend upon Year Book subscribers. .A streak of strong-handed teaching methods and bent for business form a delightful contrast in this fair-haired lady. MARION PHELPS North Wilbraham, Mass. Te.acher Training Course Reserved and seemingly aloof, IMarion pursues her quiet way of study. Perhaps she smiles at the noisy talk and laughter. She is our most conscientious worker and accepts only the very best from herself. Hut once in awhile — blonde head and dark one together, she and Ethel, arrange a trip to the movies. . t such times Marion ' s voice is not heard in the little symphony of “heres and presents when the roll is called. PHYLLIS RANDLE 545 Fourth Street, .South Boston, iMass. Teacher Training Course A gay and changeable English lady, one moment as young and naive as her pupils, the next as poised and correct as the most experienced of school-marms. In Milton, where Phyllis teaches, the pupils and the teachers sing her praises. If “Phyl’s” vo- cation is teaching then her avocation is looking for .Anna. There is no hour of the day during which you will not hear this question, “Have you seen .Anna?” In spite of lessons and very deep thoughts on Thesis draftings Phyl’ ' has the time to brighten our social functions with her smil- ing, dancing self. HELENA SAUNDERS 1708 River St., Hyde Park, Mass. Teacher Training Course Helena is a very retiring sort of person with a reserve that keeps her in the back- ground. But those who are wise enough to understand, seek and find a true friend. Helena is a sincere, loyal pal to the few privileged to work with her. She is indus- trious and produces much beautifully ex- ecuted work. She loves music, spends much time studying the masters, craves hot butterscotch sundaes and is one of the nicest girls in school. MARY ROGERS 31 Highland Street. Worcester, Mass. Teacher Training Course With regal and gracious mien as that of a princess. Mary joins us in the Teacher Training class after her long ride from Worcester. This charming dignity never forsakes this pal of Amorette. Alary is a conscientious trainer but not too conscien- tious for she finds the time to paint shawls of gorgeous color and gay dresses. Her dresses and hats she makes in a way that is her own. She has a new and chic costume. Her smile is delightful. She is dainty, and we have heard the words well said, “She is very paintable SCR.ANTON REDFIELD 18 Mace Place, Lynn, Mass. Lynn English High School Mass. Nautical School Design Course “Skipper’’ at present is on the high seas going through the life on the bounding wave about which he often told us, for he was our authority on the ways of ships and the .sea. He was a recognized leader among all the students of the school and was Student .Association President as well as our Sophomore class President. Scran- ton ' s sincerity and ambition, together with a keen artistic and imaginative sense, should bring him success. It is impossible for any one to fill his place among us, not because of his six feet plus, but Ire- cause of his friendly personality and will- ingness to help. DOROTHY WATSON Michigan Ave., Lynn, Mass. 1 1 Design Course “Duchie” is the charming person in the Design Room who is usually present and working hard. However, vve are fre- quently astonished by her abrupt revela- tions of what goes on behind her brow. She does not belong to the conservative forces. Her cry is “back to nature,” and she backs it up. She enjoys outdoor sketching week-ends, values the friendship of the Designers, enjoys a lively conversa- tion and is the strong-willed woman of the Design Class. FRANK V. N STEEN Y. M. C. Huntington .Ave., Boston ST.ANLEY SESSLER 861 Western .Ave.. Lynn. Mass. Lynn Classical High School Dk.awinc . nd Tainting Course “Stan” has progressed by leaps and bounds. -A worthy attention and good drawing, with the heaven-sent gift for color, enables him to paint with that je ne sais quoi” technique which gives him a place with the class on the fourth floor back .A natural cheerfulness and very human smile relieve those sober and dignified moments when “Stan” takes up the Tresidenfs gavel at the .Advisory Board Meetings. Charley and “Stan” keep studio together on Boylston Street. Several times he has been compelled to go through the rigors of death under the tutelage of Mr. Cowell who coached the Juniors in Mr. Porter ' s Christ- mas Pageant. We cast ■ Stan.” however, in the permanent role of real fellow and academy painter to be. ROY HARYARD STAPLES 71 Conomo Street, Lynn. Mass. Drawing and P.mntino Course Blessings on thee, little man. Bright and early the infant terrible of the life drawing class in Mr. Sharman ' s room, turns up with his horrible cheerfulness ready to squint past a ra.gged plumb line for three hours. .After which he resteadies his nerves by a strenuous turn with the basketball. Whether it is making baskets or fouls or diving into scrimmages, Roy moves faster than any other basketballateer when he is on the floor for the school team. With his .golden hair, blue eyes. etc. (not to make mention of his penetrating yodel), Roy is due to go a long way. In what direction we do not know but his instruc- tors are extremely hopeful. ALLA WASELESKI 298 East Street. East Walpole, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course Walpole High School “Yan” has many interests but his paint- ing still holds to the standard set when he began painting under Mr. Major and was taught how to turn out ‘‘good ones.” His work is fine in detail as was that of the masters of his country — the Flemish painters. From pencil sketches to still life, fine draftsmanship comes first and easily to his hand He is an experienced photograph retoucher. For several years he has assisted in the hanging of the school exhibitions and in his senior year he was elected art editor of the .Art Gum. Teacher Training Course With all the girls who might not be understood .Alla is placed. But though she is quiet, and small, and has a noble per- plexion of expression, dare not consider her lightly. Know her as a fierce spirit and a vigorous virgin, bringing to many a child loveliness and pleasure. We hereby touch off twelve cannons in commemoration of her magnificent work on the Junior ' s Year Book ( 1927 ) and as the smoke soars up- ward extol the virtues of her conscience — .Alla be praised! AMORETTE C. WEED 63 Plantation St., Worcester, I NIass. Worcester Classical High Te.vchf.r Training Course It goes without saying that everybody has been extremely glad that .Amorette re- turned to us in lull strength and grace this year, and we are positive we were quite as anxious as Air. Alajor. .Amorette has been performing with greater confidence and conscience than ever, and if her gu - don ' t get her we plan on seeing .Amorette an art director of the first class. But then, girls are notoriously domestic, so we can hardly feel certain. When we recollect .Amorette we are glad to remember that her sense of line contrilmted much to the class standard. MARK ROliIXSO.V 18 Alechanic St.. Fitchburg. Mass. Fitchburg High School Drawing and Painting Course EMILY ZERBE S9 Pleasant Street, Palmer, Mass. Teacher Tr. ining Course This dainty little person is known to the Seniors as Mems. Her low, sweet voice keeps peace among the turbulent spirits, and gentle ways have earned for her the name of “gentle Mems. She takes life serenely by working and dancing with pleasing grace. Her deft fingers can handle the typewriter as well as a paint brush. Xor do her talents stop there. Put a tennis racquet in her hand and she is right at home and miles ahead of us mediocre players. Her best friend, .Add. will firmly vouch for the truth of what has been said. Alark Robinson captains our basketball team and does it well. He has other accomplishments besides that of painting, which we take for granted, but of the former he cares little so we do not speak of them. Capable critics have judged him the outstanding star in basketball for two years on teams in this school. Like Scrip Redfieid and Elmer Gieene he takes to the sea summers but unlike the other two voyagers he has never been en- ticed upon the platform to tell his experi- ences. ELEAXOR X. VOC.XG 2300 Fairfax Street, Denver, Colo. AI.ARG.ARET W, VAXT .Academy Street, Barre, Vermont Teacher Training Course AIodeling Course Eleanor Young is a stalwart example of the far West, where men are men. and (excuse usi). She has that strength of character, and certainly of voice, which allows us to predict the worth-while. There has been litt ' e opportunity to see Eleanor since she is wedded to Helena, but we feel justified in labeling her with an indelible “O.K.’’ She has brought something of the western grandeur to us and we are inquisi- tive to know what Boston has done to her. Well, never mind, Eleanor, you can draw, and you can laugh! Margaret is a quiet nun-like appearing miss, but appearance may deceive you. .Although very dignified she is a jolly sort. Margaret divides her time between model- ing and metal crafts and whether it is a cunning little bunny with long ears or a pin set with sparkling stones in silver leaves which takes her attention, she shows the same painstaking care. Just now she is exploring a new field — cast relief panels in a metal box. In everything she does it is certain that her love of beauty will forbid her to do anything that is not absolutely fine and her work is her own reward. o q DORIS DEXXEX 488 Lexington Street. Waltham Teacher’s Training :nirs. mixxie h. .mbrick Hotel Gladstone, Dorchester, Mass. Special Drawing and Painting When we are privileged to know Irs. Bambrick and have waited till all the early birds have left their easels we find her still quietly and diligently painting some one of Mr. Major ' s groups. If hard work is one half the battle then she is away for a fine start. Mrs. Bambrick had studied with various teachers before she came to this school, including Professor Benedictus of the Roman School of . rt. and William Clause of the Boston . rt Museum. Doris has been with us some time but we don’t murmur, “Poor Doris!” Xo, for her successes in so many manners are de- lightful. and we presume that she is merely being particular in her final adaptations. Her poster paint portraits and lesson- reports are so superlative that they alone are worthy of trumpeting. .- s a girl with a kaleidescopic past, remember her; as a girl with a colorful present, know her; as a girl with a vivid future, insist on know- ing her. ELIZ.ABETH XOWLAX Shays Street, . mherst. Mass. DOR. T.AUSCH Kenmore, Ohio Teacher Training Course Elizabeth is a new comer to the teacher training course, but she already is a sure nuff teacher, having had a class, so that she knows from experience the way to pre- sent the theories she learns. Her work is the one big thing with her and she is happy when she tells of her children’ ' and her love for her work. !Metal crafts is only one of her hobbies, but is the strong- est. Bowls, rings, pins and other pieces of interesting jewelry grow like her own personal flower garden beneath her fingers and she determines to master all the arts of Mr. Martin ' s studio. Teacher Training Course Another newcomer, who has delighted the teacher trainers with her interesting stories of Germany and German customs, is Dora, who has b een travelling only re- cently in that country. One of her hobbies is metal work. Dora ' s brooches and rings are things of strange splendor. Perhaps some of her forefathers were the crafts- men of the priceless German silver which is so rare today. Dora is interested in the stage but prefers to do her work out back rather than before the lights. Her natural- ness and simple candor have won her many friends. She is indeed a member in good standing in the Teacher Training class. JAXET ROCK 12 7 Commonwealth .Ave., Boston, Mass. Brookline High School Drawing and Painting Course If Janet ' s first name were only Elaine, we could consistently think of a very appropriate verse, except, however, that she is a modern young lady. Janet went to Smith College a year, and then changed to the Xew School of Design, which she deserted for the Cleveland School of .Art. .After a year out there she came to us a special student in 192 6. We wish she had come here in the first place so that we might have known her longer. She made an exquisite maiden in the Senior episode of the Christmas pageant. The Junior Fine .Arters are awfully envious of the Seniors because with the new year she deserted Mr. Major ' s studio for the portrait class. MARGARET B. FULLER 300 Berkeley St., Boston — South Hamilton, Alass. Hamilton High School Retail Trade Course Who is that coming down the street? .A swaggering, plump, little figure in a soft pony coat, cute as a cute little boy, a lock of silver yellow hair peeking out from under her snug hat. .All warm, cozy browns, except the cool moonlight of her hair and blue eyes. Peg is a man-hater, she admits it herself. .She is delightf .illy frank: completely unafraid to give her opinion and always as unbiased as a looker-on. Peggy is a born sportswoman, a passionate lover of dogs and horses and poker She is supremely independent, carefree, and an indispensable addition to any crowd, political gathering or dawnce. i w ' 0 o - JOSEPH DI GUISTO 19 Flint St., Somerville, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course ELIZ.ABETH MAHONEY 3 Hadwen St. Lane, Worcester, Mass. Costume Design Special Joe might well be the sort of man to have a past. .And he has — four years of it. Classes which began at ten o’clock, periods of absolute concentration, individ- uality of work, and reverence for the draw- ings of Michelangelo. He enjoys the reputation for a fine voice which we hear at school entertainments. He is working now on his part in the Dramatic Club play. Evidently this young lady finds that commuting from Worcester every day has its compensations in the Costume Design Class, for she works and thrives. Boston attracts her to the broadcasting studios, where Betty exhibits her versatility with entertaining piano solos. She dances much and the masculine part of this board of squib writers are certain that if she makes her clothes her success in fashion design will be sure. AVARD E.

Drawing and Painting “Rest.” Now a look at our class mon- itor, who sees to everything from the an- swering of buzzers to the subduing of dis- putatious members by simply agreeing with them. .Aside from the purely admirable qualities of his canvases and drawings, if you have seen him paint you will know that they are proofs of physical endurance. Only a husky, healthy lad could paint on bended knees, block in the feet of the subject while doing the split, and finish a head with his tongue going at an appalling rate of speed. It is a pleasure to paint near him. LINDA PRAY 299 Tappan Street, Brookline, Alass. Arlington High School Costume Design Course — Junior Year Transferred to Retail Trade Course, Senior Year Take one look at her! She is super- feminine, deightfully graceful, but, gosh! what ' s happened? Oh, nothing. She just made a funny face. Her sense of humor leads one to devastating hysteria. She ' s what they used to say in Shakespeare, “a scream.” She is noted for her gorgeous dancing. .Ask any gent who has glided onto the hardwood floor with her in his arms. “Lynn” is contradictory. She is dependent and independent, staggeringly frank at times and sometimes afraid to be so for fear of hurting someone ' s feelings. She surprises us in many other ways, an example of which is her own statement that she is “not at all athaletuc.” It ' s too bad she isn’t because she would be simply superb on a horse, gloriously graceful on skates, and a sight for sore eyes on the tennis court. LSOLDE GILBERT 12 Ellery St., Cambridge Drawing and Painting Course To Tessie, blithe spirit of the painting room, we acknowledge thee! Ten years ago she would have parted with that proverbial piece of clothing to the one who asked for it. Today for cer- tain reasons she cannot consent: but only offer to share her last car check. One thinks of Tessie dancing Russianese in a smock shawl and paper skirt, or cavort- ing up and down these greyed corridors painting goldfish to lighten the depression of these painter people. But who has not seen Miss Gilbert, on occasion, with all the poise and dignity of a first lady. We fairly wallow in adjectives to explain her but we recommend you to her work. Her sketches which first made her famous here among us, odd, delightful, illusive and personal. utograpfjsi Greetings to the many friends of Massaehusetts Sehool of Art The picture reminds you that vve are the same old school, yet never the same, but always changing in onr effort to keep abreast of growing needs and opportunities. We were born in happy circumstances when a group of sagacious men, decades ahead of the art development of their day, established our school and dedicated it to the serious pursuit of Beauty. We were fortunate that our infant destinies were placed in the hands of other capable men who conceived of service in terms of broad art foundation and thorough training in funda- mentals. . nd we are still fortunate in that, through the vision and devotion of our present Director, our school continues to combine high idealism with practical achievement in art. For half a century the old school has held the place in the vanguard of art progress. May the new half century on which she has now embarked find her still at the front. Frederick . Wilder Dean. Soi’iioMOKE Class 1929 From A SopFiomore’s Lyes President Lincoln Levinson Vice-President Ralph Shepard Treasurer Iyer Brotman Secretary Leo Cole YEAR of history in a trembling green smock may not mean very much to some peo- ple, but those who endured its tortures, crimes, and ultimate dissatisfactions can ap- preciate the change of hue to the Sophomore garb of paint-spotted sunlight. Perhaps the prominence with which we subdued our assorted contemporaries of the “holy green” will sustain our future efforts until we harness the errant pallette and galloping canvas. Football, with pipe-smoking, derby-hatted, and be-spatted players, made certain of the “greens” feel somewhat ill, but then lawn parties are apt to be a little rough, especially when Messrs. Shepard, Adams, Hardy and Winters are in the lead. Success is essential whether with the aid of IMr. Whistler’s taking ways or the Rev. Angelico’s holier methods. Division One needs only to inhale Coty’s garlic to become the original Italian opera which takes its daily dozen in the painting studio particularly. Rose Lando conducting and Peg Flexner managing, with poorly directed remarks concerning each painting in its cocoon stage, with one or two desperate painters growling above a little oil. Division Two is less musically vicious, but most dangerous in their inhuman efforts toward perfection such as Marjorie Soderland exposes ; while our last division is a menace to all thor- oughbred morons and respectable imbeciles. If ever a harmless innocent enters their workshop he beams and leaves with an exhuberant feeling that at least there are a few people like Helen Miles, “Mike,” and Lincoln Levinson, our noted president with the savage temperament, who uphold the sacred honor of an ideal while the less elevated play fire engine and tiddleywinks at the back door ! We like to entertain, it seems, for our assembly was a well-constructed affair radiating musical talent which kept the hall alternately hypnotized and swaying with applause. Danc- ing followed and proved to be the usual cocktail combination of Poe’s murder and a black bottom massacre. Of course, through generosity, we offered the use of the hall to the other classes and allowed their lavish appreciation to put our noses temporarily out of joint ! Speaking of dances — if you were a minus quantity at our class affair it was your own funeral, because it marks a definite period in the history of iM. S. . . The sincere efforts of the dance committee, whose artistic tendencies served to us futuristic walls of houses and canopied windows, relieved us of all contact with the usual or ordinary and for once we forgot the lavish donations of splinters our feet received. The committee in charge is sincere!} ' appreciated and admired for its success and hard work. The Sophomores feel that they are a serious and energetically ambitious class, and those that try at all are aiming for only the highest. .At the close of school this year there will be the feeling, even more, of reaching out to grasp the elusive use of our chosen medium, and the blind blankness of the freshman year will have to sink with the challenging decisions of Sophomore doubts behind a smock of blue. “All vain desires, all lawless wishes quelled, Be Thou to love and praise alike impelled Whatever boon is granted or witheld.” Wordsworth. - C , Sophomore Lnrollment w Adams, Phillip D. 23 Madison Circle, Greenfield Adams, Rosamond T. 91 Robinwood Ave., J.

With a dramatic flourish he drew aside the great curtain revealing an immense canvas that completely covered one wall of the studio. I stared in open-mouthed amazement, for instead of the painting I had jrii expected to see, a most remarkable sight met my startled eyes. The whole canvas was -;[! covered with great formless splotches of color that gyrated and interwove in a bewilder- pj ing and kaleidescopic fashion. It appeared as though the artist, standing at a distance |j ' from the canvas, had flung the paint on until at last the myriad of spots had blended into a i : wild, many-hued pattern. “Ah! you are surprised,” said Abra with an enigmatic smile, “I promised to show you an ■ innovation, you know.” j “Yes,” I admitted, “but even so I was hardly prepared for anything like this. What is it, , something futuristic?” j I “No,” he replied, “though to you it is apparently a meaningless daub, in reality it is a history, a record of past events. Wait and I will show you the secret. But first put these on.” I donned the proffered pair of rose-tinted glasses and was instantly aware of a subtle change j in the canvas. The vari-colored splotches had lost their harsh, contrasting brilliancy and now merged in a vast harmonious aura. The pattein, too, had become less chaotic, and I was con- scious of an underlying rhythm. I felt as though I were looking at a veil of pulsating, many- colored mist. Lost in contemplation, I was aroused by my companion’s voice. “You are gazing at the shrouded memories of the past. Herein lie concealed countless incidents and events long since enacted. I have recorded them by means of a process of which I alone have knowledge, and they but await my touch to return in clear and forceful imagery. Out of this tangled skein of memories one may select a single thread and follow it through the warp and woof of the whole fabric.” Palette and brush in hand he advanced toward the canvas. I “My friend,” he said solemnly, “together we will unravel a thread of circumstances in which you yourself played a part.” With deft, rapid strokes he applied his brush to the canvas. Before my astonished eyes the mists slowly dissolved into tangible forms, and I beheld a painting of an animated and vaguely familiar scene. A crowd of people were rushing about in frenzied confusion, pushing and shoving in a bewildering mass. In the edge of the milling crowd an occasional group hud- dled together in blank consternation. Here and there ecstatic females fell upon one another, open-mouthed in rapturous whoops of recognition, which caused my eardrums to cringe pro- testingly as I pictured the devastating shrieks that smote the helpless bystanders. Suddenly a light dawned upon me and I turned to Abra Cadabra. “The casual eye might mistake this for a riot, but I recognize it now. It is the scene of the first appearance of the class of 1930 at the Massachusetts’ School of . rt on Registration day.” “The next episode in the career of this group is even more interesting,” observed Abra. Once more his brush darted across the canvas. Slowly the picture dissolved into the mist and another scene appeared. Here I beheld sundry individuals decorated with brilliant green ties and queer stocking caps fleeing in pop-eyed terror before the onrush of a horde of gloating pur- suers. The scene changed and I saw an embarrassed male clad in the airy habiliments of a Greek dancer poi sed on a table and surround by a gleeful mob. “Do you recognize it?” smiled my companion. “Freshman Week,” I groaned. “It was a veritable ‘Slaughter of the Innocents.’ ” “Nevertheless,” countered Abra, “it had its compensations. Here is the crowning event of that memorable week.” The picture now was of a crowded assemblage. Before it stood a youthful group clad in robes of pristine green and apparently engaged in the solemn ceremonial rites. “Smock Day,” I murmured thoughtfully, “yes, it was a compensation to be clad at last in the badge of our chosen profession.” “Behold now the illustrious leaders of this valiant class,” chuckled Abra. “ ‘Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well,’ ” quoth I, gazing upon the four bland and beam- ing countenances that adorned the canvas. “Here are Chief Lawrence Jacobs, Anna Brookes, second in command; Dorothy Hunter, keeper of the papyrus, and Kenneth Barton, custodian of the shekels. They should be honored with that touching tribute accorded so many heroes, ‘They seen their duty and they done it.’ ” “And now,” continued my companion, “we shall see this group gathered at a feast of good fellowship in celebration of their achievements.” In a chamber illuminated by the mellow glow of late flickering candles, a laughing com- pany of merrymakers were gathered about long, gaily-bedecked tables graced with festive viands. I stood lost in the memory of that first class spread, my mind filled with thoughts of chicken salad and ice cream. I recalled the pungent odor of spruce and the brilliantly lighted tree, before which a corpulent Kris Kringle dispensed presents. Again I seemed to hear the shouts of merriment that greeted each recipient as he held aloft his gift for the inspection of his mates. .Abra’s voice broke in upon my reverie. “You have witnessed again the principal events in the first year of the life of the class of 1930. Let us leave them here in a proverbially happy ending.” “But surely this is not the end,” I protested. “. h! but the rest lies in the future, my friend, and I can only reveal the past.” As he uttered these words, the rose-colored glasses slipped from my eyes and were dashed into a thousand fragments upon the floor, and once again the great canvas became a confused and chaotic patchwork as the veiling curtain fell slowly into place.

It was intended that its aim should be for a relationship and understanding between faculty and students in matters of importance to both. It has so far succeeded in this that its operation today is considered a school function. The Association takes charge of all class accounts and organizations and clubs. Musicians, artists and writers are invited by the association to be guests at the Assemblies. The Art Gum is the official paper of the .Association. The expenses of the school outing and athletic clubs are taken care of by the treasury of the Student .Association.

The Staff of Our Palette and Pen H E compiling of the 1927 Palette and Pen is one of the last things which m the class of nineteen-twenty-eight will do together. .Ij Freshmen, we struggled hand-in-hand through the happy fog of cast-drawing, inch-high action figures and mechanical certificates, little suspecting to what bitter depths we, as Sophomores, were to be thrust by our mortal enemy. Perspective. Freshmen, we voiced our own dear and caustic estimations of prints of Japanese ladies with contorted limbs, and of vases depicting Greek gentlemen with ex- panded muscles, blissfully unconscious of the tortures we zvere yet to endure at the hands of our beloved “Dicky” and the Pectoralis Major. .45 Freshmen and Sophomores, we doggedly resisted the supreme efforts of the esteemed Mr. Rice and Mr. Jamison to instill into our minds and souls a few of the basic principles of the English language, all the while highly insensible to the fact that as Juniors, in the throes of Year Book write-ups, we would gladly offer up these very souls for the information so carefully scorned of yore. But all this is completely finished, just as this book is finished and ready for your judgment. We have enjoyed and profited by the editing of this book ; may the reading of the Palette and Pen of 1927 prove equally as enjoyable and profitable ! The editor zvishes to take this opportunity to thank, most sincerely, her staff, the faculty, the student body and all others who have given their invaluable time, strength and courage, and their friendly and constructive criticism to the building of this book.

The edi- tors have striven to make it representative by publishing class notes, reviews of the current art exhibitions, cut of beautiful paintings, studies and cautious criticisms of artists, the poetical, lit- erary, and humorous efforts of the students — not to forget the page of cartoons in each issue. Occasionally a member of the faculty writes something for us. This year we have had the privilege of presenting to you a poem by Aliss Bartlett, an essay by Miss Alunsterberg, and articles by Miss Hathaway and Air. Porter. We feel that the “.Artgum” has great potentialities. It is surprising how many of our most talented artists possess definite literary talent. The editors are always eager to rescue from the abyss of oblivion any masterpieces of literature or humor you may have set down on paper, whether in pencil, ink, or shorthand. They only wish that they were able to reproduce your drawings and paintings and pieces of sculpture. This is impossible because of the high cost of halftones. The “.Artgum” is in straightened circumstances. But we can not demand more money from a school that suffers from a penniless Year Book and an ever-desperate shortage of paint- rags. Therefore, we tenderly lay aside our futile dreams of more and better cuts, and whisper to vou— WRITE THE ARTGUAI li I I . I i I I I i - - A 1 Girls’ Athletic Club T he Girls’ Athletic Club is made up of energetic and enthusiastic girls who realize the value of healthy, clean and strenuous exercise. In spite of their already crowded curriculum these girls devote at least one hour a week to physical exercise. The pleasant, congenial and friendly spirit, and sportsmanlike attitude of the girls overcomes the handicaps under which the work of the club is carried on. In the fall and winter the club joins the Blue Triangle of the V. V. C. and there enjoys gymnastics, dancing, clogging and basketball under the direction of competent instructors. Swimming and Life-Saving under the direction of the . merican Red Cross afford a source of exercise to the girls seeking the Red Cross Life-Saving Emblem or Examinership in the Life- Saving Corps, both valuable to girls desiring positions in summer camps or on city playgrounds. Canoeing, hiking and tennis are the chief activities in the spring. Though the club does not enter into competitive sports, it has many able bodied athletes, who could prove their metal in intercollegiate rings, had they the time to develop their talents. The officers for the season of 1926-1927 are: President ........ Lilli.an C. Burgoyne, ’27 Vice-President ....... M.arguerite Mosch.ard, ’29 Secretary .......... Betty L.ane, ’28 Treasurer . . . nna P.as.ak.arnis, ' 21 Boys’ Athletic Club W HEN a team of basketball players without benefit of coach or school gymnasium is able to complete the season with a record of having won about half the games played, then it is natural to assume that the merits of such a showing are due entirely to the team spirit and work of the captain. Fortunately, the players have the benefits possible from membership in the Boston Y.M.C.A. but that happy and much quoted day in the far future when our new school will provide the facilities necessary for the training of those in school athletics will also bring about the oppor- tunity for first and second teams and a healthy crowd of substitutes, with an experienced coach. Until then, because of the improvement which the team shows this year, and the loyal spirit of the “five” we feel justified in asking for a more united student support that may overcome the disadvantages of training for the basketball team and insure a widening scope of sports in the school.

The (jcldeu glow of the setting sun makes all seem mysteriously promising, all breathes of tomorrow, the rich furrowed soil longs for the next day.

The dark, long shadows seem like dreams of the restful darkness, but the golden glow of the setting sun pemetrating the darkness dazzles the eye with its bril- liancy, fills the mind icith dreams of the future and kindles the heart with a passionate longing for tomorrow. So the Senior’s bit of land has been furrowed and sown with rich seed. His day here is done. The work is over, the trees here are ripe and rich and the sun is setting oyt this particular field of activity. Like a faithful horse, the spirit of industry walks on with the Senior towards the setting sun. The host loving rays enhance the familiar territory which he is leaving. He has done his best, he has laboured with cultivation. Now comes fulfillment : the new daivn will come, today’s labours bring hope for tomorrow, hope for achieve- ment, hope for the ideal, courage to till neic soil and sow new seed. For the Senior knows that tomorrow the rising sun will wake him, strengthen him and let him see his vision. For: the golden glow of the setting sun makes all seem mysteriously promising ! Ella R.
