WILLIAM W. BLACK 25 Hniton Street. .Mlston, Mass. Brighton High .School Line . rts Covrsf, That “great big Black boy (quoting hir. Major) is the class strong man. and invariably comes to the rescue of all our little bits of distressed femininity. Bill is Rosey ' s right-hand man when it comes to things political. It is not at all diffi- cult to like Bill, with his mop of black hair and Irish grey eyes. Bill will shoot us for telling you. but he writes most acceptable poetry. BFvATRlCi: CROSSMAN 250 Eliott Street, Milton. Mass. Alilton High School Cr AFTS-DeSION CofRSE “ll ' if in her own craftiness. ' ’ We don ' t see Bea very often, because she spends .so much of. her time down cellar with Mr. Martin playing around among the drills, hammers, torches and things. But when we pay the crafts room one of our occasional visits, we give her so much to do that all there is left for -Mr. Martin is to sit and watch Bea teach the class. I ' hen she does come to the upper air now and then, she certainly has wonderful things to show for her labor, which is more than can be said of most of us. Poor Bea is severed from her Helen this year. b.;t wherever Bea goes. Helen ap- pears sooner or later to lure her away for a rest period. Helen wouldn ' t have Bea get tired out for any thing. MILDRED BENNETT 429 Gustin . e.. . ttleboro. Mass. RCTH BRO DBENT 100 Hamilton St., Wollaston, Mass. Quincy High School Te.WHER TRAtNING COLRSE What a large nature this small person possesses I It reaches up and enfolds one like a blanket. (No. Ruthie, not a wet blanket! ) Ruthie maintains a happy frame of mind because, she confesses, she ' s never idle — always busy. . center of attraction, people like to look at her because she ' s so completely healthy, due, probably, to nice cold plunges in Wollaston Beach and long sleeps with wide open windows. This vivacious little miss is a successful dancer, and few are the steps too intricate for her. We think that Ruthie wears the cutest hats and things, they ' d took like that on no one else. , he marshals her social and school affairs like a little general, and we secretlx ' think she possesses It.’ ' LEONA BL ' TKIEWICZ I 1 Hillside -St., Worcester. Mass. Design Course Teacher Training Department “Bumps ' ’ is the nickname she has. Whence it come no one seems to know, or at least disclaims any responsibility for it. 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. We enjoy your singing very much and hope that you will continue it with Winnie and Hazel Leona forms one of the triumvirate of importance in the Teacher Training Division.

THEODORA ALLEX 47 Mt. Vernon Street, Arlington Design Course Theo is nice. She is so calm, depend- able and willing to help. 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. It is quite likely that Then will be some day as famous a name as Erte. LE ' CV r.AKERIAX’ 637 Centre Street. Newton, IMass. High School of Practical Arts Design Course Lucy of the naive questions; Lucy of the shrewd observations. She loves to use polysyllabic words in quaint combina- tions. She reads Heywood Broun and Dorothy Dix and ancient non-fiction that no one else even takes from the library. She likes to sit with you in the dismal depths of the locker room and discuss all the problems of this dizzy world. Lucy puts real feeling into her work and has an ardent love for the beautiful. 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.

HELKX E. CORliET 4 Everett Avenue. Greenwood, lass. Te.xchek Tk.mm.ng Dep.vrtment Helen - - of the hundred waves is right 1 .‘tuch a curly head, and -somehow she always manages to sit in the front row. Of course the person sitting behind her can ' t see. Reasons why? because the hair is so nice one can ' t stop to look at any- thing else and because one couldn ' t see round it anyway without a great deal of neck stretching. She ' s a happy person usually with a (juestioning look in her blue eyes as she asks. “Have you seen Ilea ' ? •And we answer. Oh. yes: she ' s down the hall a ways, asking .some one if Helen ' s around anywhere, If there were more of us like Helen we ' d sure be Jolly Juniors. JOSEPH DEPHOURE 12 IMerrick Street, Worcester, Mass. DR.tWINO , NP P.MNTIXC COURSE Joe is cpiiet and dignified and takes his profession seriously, which, after all. is the only way to do. 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. A e know that Joe is on the road to success and can only hope that we will be able to accompany him. STELLA COOK. 29 .Sycamore Street. Roslindale, Mass. 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. Dorchester Drawing .vno P.mming Course Everyone from the most dignified senior to the humblest freshma n knows Dot. She ' s one of our busiest and most conscientious fine arters. Dot ' s |uite a brilliant con- versationalist. .Ask any of her gang who often have to wait for her while she in- dulges. Really, when one looks at Dot. one wonders how so much vivacity and animation can be contained in such a small trackage. Certainly she is one of our best sports. Dot has the perfectly natural urge to study in Paris after leaving the M. S. .A. studios. ELSIE DRI.XKWATER 246 liradstreet .Ave., Revere. Alass. rEArtiER Training Department Elsie Drinkwater is a little miss who is continually chattering in the center of the group composed of Lois, Marion and Ruth. Elsie has a humorous twinkle in her hazel eyes, and a demure countenance that draws many friends. She was once the object of an unintentional joke of Mr. Jamison ' s. ‘ ' Elsie, you know you really drink water, even if you fervently deny it.” We hope you live up to your literary name. too. Elsie always was good in modeling, but we feel that Teacher ' s Train- ing is the best field for her endeavors.
