LUDWIG FRANK, 191 Kent St., Brookline A kind, conscientious teacher and a genial friend is Mr. Frank to those few who know him. And those who only see him around school being chatty and pleasant and looking uncommonly like one of those lovable old English actors would certainly like to know him. JESSIE MacDONALD, 383 Boylston St., Boston Dashing on we go, through the horrors, the berries, panics, grand and smart; then by and by it is good design. After all there’s nothing like design. Miss MacDonald knows. JOHN E. ALCOTT, 55 Florence Ave., Norwood An Intelligent, Delightful Associate, Adept in Design Art. Always Incouraging Diligent At- tempts at Industrial Design. AID A — A-I-D A- Ad Infinitum. MARTHA M. FLINT, 267 High St., Newburyport Always talking, always smiling, always hunting for a needle. This lady has charge of the draft- ing room, generally peaceful, becomes utter chaos during pageant times. She is lenient with the dumb but never with the dodgers. MARY M. RUGG, 44 Hobomack Rd., Quincy She keeps in touch with what ' s new in styles of illustration by being in the game herself. Be- sides teaching and free lance work she maintains a home and raises two sons. By now everyone must know that she is continually being taken for a student. It ' s been said for years. [ 8 ]

THERON IRV ' ING CAIN, R.F.D. 168, South Braintree In this class all drawing goes on between two red dots, but just get the right shade of red and there is nothing to worry about. When perspective discussions wax hot, it seems our professor moans, When I prepared this lesson, God and I knew what it was about and now only God knows. Well anyhow it looks that way. J. MACE ANDRE SS, 67 Clyde St., Newtonville It ' s all very interesting to find out if one is an extrovert or an introvert or a solferinoist or a chigoeist, and that ' s what you find out with Dr. Andress. All lectures eventually lead to some experiments on poor mice or guinea pigs. I ' ll wager they simply abominate psychology along with some chiroscuroists. EDWIN HOADLEY, 357 Charles St., Boston Any time vou feel depressed just drop in and see Mr. Hoadley and he ' ll tell vou all about the little boy who did his home work on time and got a lovely position drawing labels for corn flakes. It will cheer you up unless you are a D and P. In that case just a sad indulgent smile from E.H. who is very much in hopes that you ' ll be worth while folks. LILLIAN A. PHILIPS, 59 Perkins St., Jamaica Plain One does not love a woman for what she says; one loves what she says because one loves her. And that is that. Do you see, oh best beloved? LILAH MERLE VAUGHN, 400 Crescent St., Waltham She admits once thinking the art school people were queer, — now tells about Ikev the cat as queerly as the best of us could. [ 7 ]

ETHEL G. BARTLETT EMERSON 3, 1200 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge Child, child, that’s no way to - - - water running all over the floor, spatters all over the wall (but what lovely patterns). She herself is no mean aquarellist. Shame it can’t be served as water wings to the number who never learn to swim in this medium. ZELLA BUCKINGHAM, 460 Huntington Ave., Boston A charming, retiring lady, gray eyed like Athena. Very much interested in modern art for all one tries to connect her with early French painters. Chardin, you know, is among the moderns; he being on the preferred list. E. WILBUR DEAN HAMILTON, Trinity Court, Boston His eyes see more than most. He can see a vibration when a light hits a dark and he paints it there. He’s great on glasses and measuring with sticks. Painting in his class amounts to a ritual of pacing ten feet from the canvas, sighting and putting the right shape, the right color, in the right place. And fate laughs. ANNA MAEHUE HATHAWAY Porcelain figurines, midnight velvet, wet violets, a breath of lavender, a wisp of old lace. This charming, fragile little ladv inspires a feeling of what is known as old world chivalry strangely foreign to our brusque, gauche ways. IRMA COFREN, 1284 Beacon St., Brookline ”.Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend before we too unto the dust descend,” as Miss Cofren does. Always costumed in a harmony of color, she is a charming illustration of her teaching and staccatos about her class room with contagious enthusiasm.
