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.

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.

MELliOURXE DOUGLAS 243 Lynnfield St., Lynn, Mass. Ur.awing and Painting Course “ Mel is ‘‘Hill ' s” particcps criminis about school. His two loves, music and paintins. receive ecjual favor. He is an addict to symphony concerts and melodizes tenor parts with three other peace-breakers, afternoons, on the fourth Hoor. We offer thanks that the arduous labors of support- ing the distinction of a reputation for ex- ceptional talent, and ability as a letterer and athlete do not have a dulling effect upon Mel ' s friendliness. 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. In fact, she was a more perfect one before she succumbed to the dreadful disease, i.e., bobbing. One feels that never, in any circumstance would Lois lose her girlish dignity. 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. Turner ' s Falls High School Sculpture Course Diana, on a windy hilltop. Tall, calm, and still, Diana, walking with her long, swinging stride through tall grass. Diana, on a horse, with only curls of dust behind. Perhaps — no, we are almost sure, it is only a former incarnation of our Becky. In her work that same calm, dignity stands out. One bronze relief is already before the public, and it is rumored that she has another one up the sleeve of her smock. With Mr. Porter and Mr. Dallin for in- struction she is off for a splendid start. 1 j ■ 1
