officers CLASS OF NINETEEN THIRTY CioRDON Reynolds Thelma Paine Faith Hale Ralph Ayer President I ' ice-President Secretary Treasurer A . - . A CLASS History — the past — memories — ah l es, we have locked them away with care. We smile when we take out those of our dear, green Freshmen days. How little we understood the school and its instructors then. Everything was new and wonderful, hut bewildering. Those were the days when “Red” Devlin (do you remember him?) was made to wear a green ballet costume and perform in the assembly hall. And Henrietta Springer — can one ever forget her nose at the finish of the peanut rolling contest. We had entered a new city where the Sophomores kept the courts. As a class we drew into our shell and tried to finish sheets for i Ir. Brewster and pass History notebooks in on time. We were warj’, shy, and unresponsive even though our dance and Freshmen Assembly were unusually good. Oh es — they were! When we became Sophomores, the powers that be, put a ban on hazing. Ah well, the Freshmen’s misfortune more than ours, we think, looking back. We learned to love and adore rather than fear Mr. Major. Crafts opened a new field to many, and architecture made us feel important. We no longer hesitated to enter the Public Library. Mr. Jamison paced the floor in rage at our imbecility. Although he never knew it we grew to love Keats and Shelley. Browning, read by Mr. Jamison, we adopted for our own. As for furniture notebooks, we do not need a reminder of those. And now the best year of tlie three, the blue, tlie gay, the bright year comes to a close. Although divided we seem to know each other better than ever. The “Keep Out” on the Designer’s door has not excluded the painters any more than their locked doors have awed the Teacher Trainers. The Juniors have been in everything, done everything — Geber, the Year book and the Prom. The Blue year had been a do year for the school. Next year w’e shall be more selfish and try to settle our own futures securely, if possible. The best thing about the Junior year is well expressed by the following: “O air born voice! long since, severely clear, A cry like thine in mine own heart I hear: “Resolve to be thyself; and know that he. Who finds himself, loses his misery!” DOROTHY HUNTER. 31

PATRICIA CLAIRE FERRITER 75 Bradford Road, Watertown, Mass, Dr.wving and Painting Course “Pat is one of our dark horses this year, and has come from the unherald- ed rank to the front in drawing and painting. She is sincere to the last atom, and her ambitions are taking her to the Penn. Academy this summer, where she will undoubtedly do honor to the name of ELIZABETH FRANCES GIBBONS 1055 River Street, Hyde Park, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course It is hard to imagine “Dina smudg- ing her hands with dirty black char- coal. Ah yes, ' tis hard, but she car- 1 ies on most successfully. Dav school alone cannot fulfill her ambitions, she attends night school and plans to study this summer, no less. Dance — ou should see her ! HENRY HOCHBERG 24 Elmore Street, Roxbury, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course Phis little care-taker of Ken Bar- ton ' s soap and turpentine keeps us all guessing. He understands advertising, and has an eye for what the well dressed man should wear. He has his own little studio, where he watches big fires, and has policemen do the model act for Mr. Major ' s comps. Some suspect him of entering Old (jold Guessing Contests, because of the fumes which issue from his smock. ELIZABETH KLEIN 18 East Bourne, Roslindale, , lass. Drawing and Painting Course “B etty” is a very quiet body, but no truer lover of the fine arts can be found within our walls. She is one of the pioneers in the field of etching among the Juniors, and delights in its hardest problems. She is a deep think- er and has the enviable gift of either saying wise things or holding her own council. RALPH DWIGHT AYER 14 Cleveland Avenue, Woburn, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course If you don ' t know the “comp” for next week — ask Ralph. Hard work- ing, more than conscientious, Ralph spends his time outside of school to the best advantage and brings in man)’ good canvases for criticism. He is a true gentleman and has all the ad- mirable characteristics of an artist. KENNETH HENRY BAR ' PON 10 Linder Terrace, Newton, Mass. Drawing and Painting Course Vignette (2), Treasurer oj Student Association . I dvisory Board From the first recollections Kennv has been leader, a spokesman, and a lover of the arts. Does he know Par- liamentary law? Listen in on Ad- visory Board meeting, and you will be convinced. He lov’es to argue and mimic radio entertainers. His hearty laugh is often heard around school. 32
