MASSACHUSETTS COLLEGE OF ART L ' BS ' .RY MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL OF ART 1� 34 AAATTAL n E II I C A T I O A A S artists, we liave learned to reeo nize and pay tril)iite to Beauty wherever it graces our universe. Nature and Art are not the only forms of Beauty which we have sought and ad- mired. Greater and more lasting than these, we have found, is l eauty of Character. It is with sincere admiration and respect that we dedicate our hook to Edward Wilbur Dean Hamilton, one whose inspiration and example, both as an artist and a gentleman, we will long remember and humbly endeavor to follow. We are all proud of his line reputation as a {)ortrait painter and especially of his achievements in connection with the restora- tion of the John Wesley Memorial Chambers in Lincoln College, Oxford. 1 28 .

THE S EX I O 1C r LASS This, the gayest of classes, entered M.S.A. with the uniijue privilege of being the first class to spend four years in the new building. We who had involuntarily worn bibs “put away all childish things” after our “ring around rosies” Freshman Week. Our days were “swifter than a weaver’s shuttle” under the new system when Mr. Newell began organizing this school which had been newly presented to him. Paying off a great debt during Freshman Week consumed the early {lart of the Sophomore year, and many hazed and dazed Freshmen were unexpectedly knighted with the Order of the “Royal Hearing.” Our Junior Prom was indeed a gala affair. It was held at the Wellesley Country Club, and each potential Marie Laurencin at the Prom was pre- sented with a very small paint box (compact to you). Through clever management on the part of the dance committees and of our president, Warren Berry, we, in our Junior year, had accumula ted a surplus in our treasury (an unheard-of feat). This sum financed one of the lame banks through the depression, — but at least we ' re still getting dividends. It was the cla.ss of ’.31 which organized our notorious basketball and football teams, the only sports we have ever had at this school. Through the elTort of our class president we secured for the benefit of the entire school Roerich exhibitions in our Freshman and Sophomore years. One of our divisions also decorated its studio with the work of current illus- trators this year, and invited the other classes to share with us the stimulation they offer. The members of our class have distinguished themselves often in com- {letitions opened to ours and other schools. As a class we have acted with unity and conviction, having the interest of our art school always before us. Much of our success we owe to the strong and efficient leadership of our three years president, Warren Berry. As we look back on our school career, we recall many things we would have done better, a few we would have left undone, and some things we would have had otherwise. Our Dean we want just as he is. He has always been a helpful and fatherly influence in our school year. We feel that as a class we have learned to overcome obstacles, and have no fear of meeting the adversity of an indifferent world. If the depression mascot, the wolf, hangs around our door very long, we feel that he will soon find himself in the pot, being cooked for dinner.

Again, in Miss Munslerberg’s lectures, the cla.ss was re- united, “historically” speaking, . side from these two occa.sions, the five dilferent divisions worked independently in their respective spheres. The Teacher Trainers went back to playing dolls again (j)uppets) and, the masculine element protesting strongly, mastered the art of skirt-making. Seven Costume Designers. Wanda Zajac, Dorothy Burton, Dorothy (iilbo, Barbara Hickok, Dorothy McDonald, Ruth Jacob and Thelma Overholt, distinguished themselves in a spring suit designing competition sponsored by a New England woolen con- cern. These lucky designers received as rewards plenty of material for suits of their own. (Irene Grace is glad she wasn’t one of them because she would probably have been sent a sample as a prize and asked to return the material she didn’t use!) The Designers managed to start making trouble in the cotn- mercial world outside. .Max Singer left his mark on thousands of beer bottles (trade marks, of course); James Green has been doing maps (not portraits) for a travcd bureau; and . 1 Ec ill’s .signature will be on the frontispic ' ce of a forthcoming biography. ' Phe Drawing and Painting students elfected their usual amount of mischief and nevertheless turned out .some rather meritorious work in their spare monients. ' I ' he new Sketch Club, startc d by Mr. Philbrick, has received much support from this section. This year the modeling division, according to George Mckenna, was well-selected, extremely intelligent, and of mcHlium size (about five foot eight and three quarters). Aria d. Capo, a play, was very successfully produced by an almo.st all Junior cast including: Marie .Mulgrew, Cheslie D’ Andrea, George Mckenna, Charles Demetropolis, and Lester .Myers, director. Finally, a word about the Junior Prom. It was heralded by the most gigantic piece of publicity ever attempted in school. I’romi- nent in this campaign was the famous J.I’.B.S. affair, a word-fitting contest initiated and directed by Max Singer, Junior Prom Big Shot. (Do we rate a prize for that, Mr. Singer?) Jo.SKPIIlINIi Bi,. tt, ’3. ' 5 VA.ASS OF ]fi:tO-TIIF: rHIFKEX i At the beginning of the year, the cry was, “Watch out, F’resh- men, here conies a Sophomore!” W e were dreaded beings who had spent a whole year at M.S.A., wJio knew whether to push or pull the doors in the hallways, and who could carry our implements of warfare without dropping a few triangles and a T-square before reaching cla.ss. Now the year has jiassed and we have become wi.ser than before we know that we have learned nothing yet! But. looking over the past year, we ri ' member the relieved sighs at the end of each term and the encouraging feeling that there were a few less steps to take towartl each goal. Among our accomplishments we count more than themes, illus- trations, and exams, however. There are those who have not for- gotten a discussion in history cla.ss started by one of our “Sonny” comrades. W ' ere our feathers ruffled! W ' e must remember, too, that the class of ’36 started a new kind of initiation for Freshmen. All went well until two of the wildest bunnies kidnappi ' d some of the chief chickens. The Sophomores are proud to say that our Prom was a big success, financially as well as otherw ise. We wonder if the mystery of J.P.B.S. was to blame. Valentine’s day brought an assembly given by the Sophomore designers and Mr. Thomp- son. J ' he air of mystery, which .surrounded all proceedings before it was given, aroused curiosity enough to fill the house. We hear they liked it. Whenever you discover us in classes, out painting landscapes, or at exhibitions, remember that, although we are just chickens, we are growing wings and we are planning to fly high!

To be sure, the work in the Club has its humorous side, but fundamentally it is a novel outlet of expression. MASCAKT The Mascart Theatre program this year started out with the ringing of chimes, and the directors promise that it will end as joyously. “Why the Chimes Hang”, directed by Mr. O’Donnell, with the assistance of Gordon Clerke and Warren Berry, was the most important production of the year. In the planning and direct- ing of the play, considerable talent was discovered among the Freshmen, not only for acting, but also for back-stage work. The directors endeavored to present a varied a.s.sortment of plays, including first “Aria d. Capo”, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poetical satire. The director was Lester Myers. Cast in the part of Pierrette was Marie (Janet Gaynor) Mulgrew; the mercurial Pierrot was played by Cheslie D’Andrea; Charlie Demetropolis and George McKenna proved that they are tragedians as well as comedians; and Walter Joy represented the figure of War as the despised corrupter of peace and good will. The next Mascart production was a group of three excerpts from CLUB To tho.se of us w ho form this group, it has offered the opportunity for keener observance, skill, and confidence. In addition, we have had valuable training in stage presence and dramatic approach. To the teacher, it is an added method for stimulating interest in children, and, as the old saying goes, ediu ation begins when interest is stimulated. Mary F. Barnes, ’34 THEATRE Shakespeare: the “Gobbo scene” from “The Merchant of Venice”; a “bit” from “Bichard the Third”; and the balcony scene from “Borneo and Juliet”. Members participating in the presentation were Leonard Derwinski, James Kenney, Marie Mulgrew, Florence Heed, Pauline Alpert, Gordon Clerke, and Josephine Blatt. The performance, we feel, was successful, and its reception by the stu- dents especially satisfying. The next contribution was a fantasy, “The Maker of Dreams”, directed by Beatrice Benoit. Much credit for the success which we have had is due to tJordon Clerke, our chairman, and to Mr. O’Donnell, our faithful advisor. The Mascart Theatre this year hands down to its next board of directors a record of several outstanding productions, the old tra- dition of enthusiasm, — and, for the first time in years, a stage properly ecjuipped with a supply of gelatins!

Those who enjoy music, yes, more than that, those who enjoy making music themselves, have had real recreation in the (Jlee c: L IT It Club with the added advantage of the excellent training given by Mr. John Wilson. The Clee Club made their public appearance as a part of a Musical A.ssernbly Program. Because of limited attendance the club was not as active as was planned; but the fire of enthusiasm is still smoldering, to be fanned to a larger blaze when we begin the work of a new year.

James Foster Kenney, ’35 THE SHE The fall of 1633 saw the beginning of the Sketch Club, w hich continued for a most successful year. The purpo.se of the club was to stimulate outside work among the students. ' Phe sketches, in water-color, oil, charcoal, or any ! other medium, were presented for criticism at the meetings. ' Phese meetings were informal. There were no olficers, and anyone was welcome who was interested in improving his work, and who wanted inspiration. .Mr. Philbrick, organizer of the club, criticized our feeble at- tempts fairly and for our own good, . fter the first few meetings, everyone’s work improved both in quality and in quantity. In V II E I. IT II spite of the zero weather, many sketches of the snow were sub- mitted. Studies of the head in oil, water-color, and charcoal were also interesting. J ' he new thumb box which Mr. Philbrick introduced to us has helped greatly for outdoor painting. ' Phe Sketch Club bulletin attracted considerable attention. Following each meeting a few of the best sketches were exhibited to show what the club was doing. At every meeting it became more apparent that the club was a success, because of the great improvement and interest shown in the sketches.

The students have sueh diverse interests, sueh eomplieations in transportation, so many demands on their time that this aetion of the cluh seemed itiiperative.

Once a week, the group has been meeting some team, either pre-arranged or otherwise, and has been sand- wiching its practice into w hat time it could spare. Fibsters, bruises, and finely executed plays all pass, but some value remains in measure. Scores are forgotten Init the idea of functioning as a unit toward a common goal is retained. Nowhere can the spirit of team work lie found .so much as on the gymnasium floor. Individuality may be the yardstick of the artist, but he must also b(‘ able to pull with his fellows. That is the lienefit underlying all sports of com- peting amateur groups and we lielieve this should not b( entindy foreign to the consciousness of our school. Fh.xnk I)kvp:cis, ’3t F O O T B A I. I. The footliall team (yes, sure we had one!) enjoyed a most suc- cessful season. Here’s the story; a small group of our men almost daily faced the cruel weather to get in on the “hectic” workouts held in the Stadium (vulgarly called the “back-yard”). After .sending challenges to various art schools of Greater Boston, we succeeded in drawing the strong “M” club as our first opponents. W e won 6 0. The last big game of the season found us again the victors 6-0 over the Aluseum School. Thus concluded an unde- feated, unscored upon, and untied schedule and brought to M. S. A. the .Art School Championship of (ireater Boston. I thank you. ,Ma. Singer, ’.35 S I X E II I T Y A ihousaiul solemn songs will rise in stnoke (Though first a while the living llarne will glow ; But flame is short, nor ca n it long evoke Fhe admiration that in easy flow Apparently makes for irnmorlalily; And yet this efferveseent praise itself Must (piench the fire to its fatality); And all these songs soon dust upon a shelf. Some few well-guarded flames, indeed there are. Will burn in constant warmth and never fear A later dark disdain that comes to bar. By some mute mystery, heat the others near. The temporal and eternal may be far apart; W hat matter, if the song come from the heart: PICEEI IIE TO OltEATYES Lights are slippery material; ' t Oil lift them wind-high hAuherantly — The while a rift of shadows rise. Obscuring end again Intolerably. But the dusted air is clearer, though new ' (piintillions of atoms Feather down Inexorably. And the fog passes a little; A fugitive burning arc forms — if palely; And the lights once more revolve In crystalled hope. In mad fever, — et wistfully. And doubts are foam, phosjihore.scence. Mist, thin ghosts. Presently vanished. For the Light grows strong! JfEATRiCE Cohen, ' .‘f 1 Matb at 136 Boylston Street BOSTON, MASS.
