LAURIEN H. MARTIN 14 Park Street, Lowell, Mass. Instructor in Metal Crafts Mr. Martin is one of our faithful stand-bys who has been with our school longer than his years would seem to warrant. .After studying here and abroad, portraiture, design and archi- tecture he happened to take up the study of metal work in England, and was the first to bring the craft to this country. Not content to develop one type of work, he is always in search for new ideas or adaptations of old and inventing new methods. Best of all he is always ready and eager to pass on his new ideas to us. D.ANIEL O. BREWSTER 172 Branch Street, Boston, Mass. Graduate M. S. Design at Designers .Art School. Stage Craft at Emer- son College Instructor in Design, Stage Craft, AND Theatre Design Mr. Brewster’s infectious enthusiasm is aroused alike by trips to Prague, T. T. pageants, and floral acquisitions. Whatever the source of his gleeful delight he is anxious to share it. Who among us — that has become a kindred soul by verbose aporeciation of gold- fish or cleevia — has not been invited to partake of his hospitality at Beacon Ilill or Rockport? FREDERICK .M. WILDER 20 Willard St., East Braintree, Mass. Degrees of B.S. and M.S. Harvard University Dean of M. S. .A. By the prompt memorizing of 105 first names Dean Wilder wins the im- mediate gratitude of as many lone- some, floundering Freshmen. He is destined to share, later, some of the dark secrets (e.g. the contents of his rank file) ; but we are convinced after a four years’ acquaintance, that he is honestly interested in each of us, and that his demands for our honesty and integrity are not impossible, for he himself lives up to them. ISABELLE DAMRELL 5 Lee Street, Cambridge, Mass. Secretary to the Director Miss Damrell occupies a strategic position from which she may censor the maddening throngs that seek to in- vade the inner sanctuaries of the “Big Boss”, for wrapping paper so much in vogue for pastel studies. Fortunately for us that this Keeper of V’aluahles and Keeper Out of Unwelcome Visitors is an informidable person with a friendly smile and a pleasing personal- ity. CARUS E. D.ALLIN 69 Oakland .Avenue, .Arlington, Mass. Pupil of Freeman H. Bartlett — and studied abroad .Advisory Head of Dept, of Sculpture .Always the same — charming in his manner toward all! His eyes twink- ling with a keen sense of humor. Mr. Dallin has proved by his ability to “pass an undercut” that he can join in play as well as work. He never flatters; yet his words express sym- pathy rather than reproach. .As he says, “It is easy when %ou know how.” RICHARD ANDREW Fenway Studio 30 Ipswich Street, Boston, Mass. Studied with Laurens and Gerome Instructor of .Anatomy and Life Drawing .A direct and forceful personality, keen and sincere in his criticisms. His trenchant comment and intense sin- cerity brings to his students new vistas of the intinitv of .Art and a realization of the high purpose of the artist’s pro- fession. 15

MISS HELEN CLEAVES Waban, Mass. Studied with Charles Woodbury and Denman Ross No person has in greater measure that particular (juality of youngness which comes from an active interest in one’s work, and a keen delight in the business of living. This lady has an exuberant enthusiasm which is in- fectious. She is an excellent enter- tainer and a fine teacher. MISS AMY RACHEL WHIi riER 93 Chestnut Street, Boston, Mass. Graduate of M. S. A., Cowles Art School, Harvard, and Univ ' ersities of Boston and Chicago Head of Department of Art Education The lady of the misty amethyst and silver — her friends must reach to the far corners of the earth! She is the Person whom we love and will always remember — no other can fill the place she holds for us. “What is Friendship? Something deep That the heart can spend and keep; Wealth that greatens while we give. Praise that heartens us to live.” WALTER W. JAMISON 206 Beals Street, Brookline, Mass. Graduate of Yale, A.B., Graduate work at Harvard, A.M. Studied at Columbia, Instructor M.I.T. Instructor in English Sometimes he is devastating, always he opens to us a new world of thought. Of all that we receive in his class, or at “Our Boston Club” we remember most ; “One man who walks among you still prefers Music of ringing truth to ringing spurs.” DR. JAMES MACE ANDRESS 67 Clyde Street, Newtonville, Mass. B.P.D. and A.B. Michigan State Nor- mal College; Ph.M. University of Chicago; A.M. Harvard; Ph.D. Clark University; Head of De- partment of Psychology and Social Hygiene, State Normal School, Worcester, Massachusetts Instructor in Department of Education “I ' m afraid we’ll have to discuss that another time,” Dr. Andress says when we wander into a fascinating byway in psychology class. But what- ever the subject is, in listening to his keen, direct handling of the topic, we get a glimpse of a red cheeked boy set off on an adventure. EDWIN A. HOADLEY 44 Comwith. Road, Watertown, Mass. Alumnus M. S. A. Student of Dynamic Symmetry, Lecturer, Instructor in Mechanical Drawing, Freshman Design and Composition ' e learn to do by doing and “do- ing gets to be a habit in Mr. Hoad- ley’s classes, where we gather ideas from everywhere and adapt them to our particular needs. ' Fo translate into the language of those we wish to reach rather than copy — many quick sketches — accuracy are all familiar things in Room I. To make the time doubly interesting there are always the black-board frogs, the magic, and the puns, among the versatilities of this friend who makes the Freshmen smile in their first disconsolate days and teaches the seniors the power be- hind the piece of chalk. LEO O’DONNELL 56 Fellsway East, Malden, Mass. 1 1.LUSTRATOR Instructor in .Antique and Life Drawing Illustrator in Anticpie and Life Drawing — Alumnus — teacher — and ? W’ho shall say w’hat else! Dignitv rests well on his broad shoulders and is reflected in his sympathetic view- point. He is a true modern — one who sees and reads things — always amus- ing, sometimes critical, seldom com- plimentary, he enjoys “knocking off” a piece of work with us. 14

ADRIAN J. lORIO Boylston Street, Boston, Mass. Instructor in Design A star in the heavens to the design- er! One is always sure of encourage- ment and enlightenment from him ; and he so amuses us with his tales of the “printers’ devil to absorb all his teachings would be a great achieve- ment. So important is his course in design and reproduction that we, as artists, appreciate his promise of ad- vice and help in the next few years. MISS ANNA MAYHEW HATHAWAY 1409 Comwlth. Avenue, Allston, Mass. School of Design of Lowell Institute, Boston, Harvard Instructor in Color Harmony Can vou think of a more appropriate name for this charming person? Truly she reminds one of a little lady from another century as she teaches us to blend subtle colors into a harmony of design; then with a flash we evolve a color scheme in “her rich yellows” that is brilliantly modern. Rainbowmist, fragility of daisies, twilight in an old fashioned garden — these personify Miss Hathaway! ALBERT S. KENDALL 73 Parker Street, Newton Centre, Mass. A.B. Harvard. Studied at Technology and abroad Instructor in .Architectural Drawing ■A jolly remark about being prompt and on the job, and Mr. Kendall has started the day aright. .An all day Friday affair for the Sophomores, but when Mr. Kendall is there we do ap- preciate architecture. I guess we can build a house or erect a Doric, or Ionic column now ! JOHN E. ALCOTT 55 Florence .Avenue, Norwood, Mass. Graduate of M. S. .A. Instructor in Design A ' outh, humor, good fellowship, and even satire, beam through Jack ' s merry eyes. The Designers come to him with their troubles and generally have them solved, for one of his weaknesses is helping the other fellow. May he prosper. RAYMOND .A. PORTER 331 Harvard Street, Cambridge, Mass. Study at Chicago .Art Institute. Mem- ber of Boston Society of Sculptors, .Member of Copley Society Head of Department of Sculpture The big, gray man, who does every- thing with a charm and freedom that makes us all want to be bachelors! We know many things about him, but here are a few things that perhaps not all of us know- — He sings, plays the piano, recites poetry by the hour, doesn’t smoke a pipe, and is an excellent chef! WILBUR DEAN HAMILTON Trinity Court, Dartmouth Street, Boston, Mass. .Alumnus M. S. .A. pupil at the Ecole des Beaux .Arts, Paris Head of Department of Fine .Arts The man who treats us with teas and inspiration and serves us well with his gentle criticisms. .Above all, he notices your idea of color and sense of beauty. What ho !— a genial disposi- tion and a kindly attitude toward all, always a brief word of encouragement to “les enfants.” 16
