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

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

Instructor in School of Fine Arts, Washington University and Supervisor of Art in high schools, Bos- ton. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are dear to us because of the associa- tion of Mr. Frank, food, rain, and the jolly air that not too subtle undertone gives the studio. A complete understanding of the subject in hand, or rather “on lap ’ and a more complete understanding of the failings of human nature devote us to “Frankie” (sssh, that’s behind his back.) MISS WOLLAHAN M. S. A. surelv welcomes Miss Wol- lahan as an addition to our executive force. Always ready to help us, al- ways ready with laughter, she grati- fies our every need. 18
