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. Louise Frantz, ’31
