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

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

THP:R0N I. CAIN South Braintree, Mass. .Mumnus M. S. A. Instructor in Perspective and Free Hand Drawing The callow Freshmen learn from Mr. Cain the necessity for punctuality and the fact that there are limits to all things even rest periods! Under his meticulous piloting upper classmen steer through complexities of perspec- tive safely, save those occasional Phil- istines who persist in looking through their center of vision upon horizon lines that are “not in the assignment’’. ERNEST L. MAJOR 30 Ipswich Street, Boston, Mass. Still studying everywhere Drawing and Painting Department Few words are far too inadequate to do justice to Mr. Major. I ' he varied scintillating personality that we who study under him are privileged to know carries us along with a driving force that leaves us exhausted but mentally exhilarated at the end of class. Mr. Major gives freely his views on hooks, plays, paintings, per- sonalities, symphonies, movies and on “ad infinitum”, sometimes amusingly, satirically, reverently, spiritedly but always with enthusiasm. MISS IRMA COFREN 1284 Beacon Street, Brookline, Mass. .Mumnus M. S. A., experience with Hickson’s New York, and Connick Studios Instructor in Costume Design Mais, oui I Of course, vou know M iss Cofren — who is always so ex- (luisite. Cha-arming and delightful, enthusiastic as a teacher and very much interested in all that we do. Miss Cofren is training us to absorb all the beauty we can — not only to dream of it — but to use its message and its in- spiration! Color, line, beauty in art, literature and the drama — Miss Cofren has taught us to appreciate them. MISS MARTHA M. FLINT 267 High Street, Newbury port. Mass. Studied in Cincinnati, New York, and Boston. On Faculty of the S. D. Taylor School Instructor in Costume Design . happy little gray-haired person. It doesn’t take long to learn to love her! Twinkly blue eyes and ever so much experience in back of them. Time flies much too fast when we are with her! A tireless worker — who always knows best. Miss Flint loves to cook and has an attic just packed full of wonderful costumes. . nd can you imagine it? She is extremely fond of mathematics ! MRS. M. RUGG 62 Hamilton Street, Wollaston, Mass. .Mumnus M. S. A. and Cooper’s Union Pratt Institute and Chicago School of Design Instructor in Costume Design . most necessary member of the fac- ulty! .Mways skipping around to help us whether we belong in the class or not. Interested in everything that might prove beneficial to us. Mrs. Rugg has made a place of her own in our hearts. “Help” is really the theme word here because that is what Mrs. Rugg is doing for us all the time. MISS LILLIAN A. PHILLIPS 36 Robinwood .- ve.. Jam. Plain, Mass. Graduate M. S. A. Degrees B.S. M.. . Columbia. University Extension work Instructor in Crafts Miss Phillips is a lavish spender of her enthusiasm, knowledge, and in- terest on any who attend her class- terest on any one who attend her class- es or come to her for advice Her many years of experience are all ours for the asking. Correlation of art with good craftsmanship is her mes- sage — but she is not always so serious. Mention “Pixie” and see for yourself. Truly she proves that it takes a sym- pathetic adult to thoroughly enjoy good toys. 17
