RICHARD ANDREW, East Gloucester A good man — and he frae th ' North. Dickie ' s” convictions, changeable though they may be, right or wrong, are always his convictions — given sincerely — sometimes kindly — often brutally. This chuckling, irascible, sympathetic, ruthless, and withal, proficient etcher, painter, art deco- rator is all that we would like to be. The most profound student of us all, he has found a place in our hearts — our very incoherency is proof of what he means to us. LEO O ' DONNELL, 20 Netherlands Rd., Brookline Good morning, Otis Long, loosely hung, very much inwardly amused smile. He has the gift of saying things carefully wrapped in layers of subtle meaning or scorchingly obvious. Likes prac- tically nothing and is benignly satisfied. OTIS PHILBRICK, 10 Hill Crest Parkway, Winchester His pencil is striking, resistless and grand. His manners are gentle, complying and bland. Still born to improve us in every part. His pencil our faces, his manners our heart. JOHN SHARMAN, 80 Somerset St., Belmont Here is a quiet spoken man who can spoil a whole week end with a criticism on Friday. He chuckles sinisterlv while his students labor diligently in khaki paint w ' ith microscopic brushes drawing shapes, drawing shapes, drawing shapes, and the sizes of things. ERNEST L. MAJOR, Fenway Studios, Ipswich St., Boston Who gives you beautiful models? Ernest L. Major. Who teaches you how to paint? Ernest L. Major. Who the — I-I-I mean, who says so? Ernest L. Major. Who can paint? Ernest L. Major. And who says so? Students of M. S. A., local authorities, Manook, Trilby, all but the fair Ella. [ 12 ]

W. W. JAMISON, 106 Beals St., Brookline Roaring histrionically to make a terrifying impression on the Freshmen, trying, oh so hard, to be the sulphitiest sulphite. He travels about most all day with books under his arms meeting one with an abashed yet roguish grin and forever suggesting this or that for this or that. FRED J. THOMPSON, 1758 Commonwealth Ave., Brighton He is neither sympathetic nor hard-hearted. He is indeed as impersonal as a Maupassant short story. Tommy likes cigars and enjoys calling you by your first name. ALBERT S. KENDALL, 73 Parker St., Newton Centre He inspires the impulse of a hearty slap on the back and a proffered cigar. In a school where men look like teachers or artists, a veritable business man with a grand sense of humor is a marvel- lous sight. Preserving a certain freedom in his classes, they prove most popular. RAYMOND O. PORTER, 331 Harvard St., Cambridge A nice teddy bear who encourages the pretty young things even when they tackle assinine danc- ing statuettes, a painless educator casually discussing the Greeks and Pre Raphaelites while imploring his impresarios to make more forehead and push in the corners of the mouth. CYRUS E. DALLIN, 69 Oakland Ave., Arlington Heights Although a sculptor of no small renown, being listed in such volumes as Who ' s Who and having sculped the appeal to the great spirit, almost as widely circulated as the Venus de Milo, this pleasant cheery little man still deigns to teach at our thus honored institute.
