H is for Mary J. Hill Wiser by far than an owl; She listens to jokes Of more frivolous folks, With never so much as a growl. H, too, is for Miss Eunice Hood, Ruled by inherent good taste; For hours she muses. Ere colors she chooses. Knowing the folly of haste. O is for Ruth O ' Connel. A naiad Rossetti once drew; With a heart full of hope. She gives fancy free scope; A modernist, vivid and true. R is for Walter Roberts, Whose modern designs we think; Abstract, esoteric. Symbolic, hysteric — • Drive conventional-minded to drink. S is for Eleanor Sanborn, An earnest exponent of Art; She knows how to work. When other folk shirk; And her drawings are straight from the heart. S stands for Master Max Singer, Our champion punster and clown; His humor though keen. Lacks malice and spleen. Hence his scholastic renown. W is for Phyllis Wild, Whose forte is lettering by hand; Her classmates she vexes, With o ' s and with x ' s. That everyone misunderstands. W means Dorothy Wiles, A lady with dimples replete; A worker of skill. With full measure of WILL, Devoid of untoward conceit.

C is for Clever Ruth Cobb. Whose drawings grow finer and finer; She certainly seems To be given to dreams Of which Larry ' s the only diviner. C is for Viola Crouch, To whom I propose a toast; For a lady so tiny, Her future is shiny; May she ever remain — uppermost! D is for Priscilla Dyer, Unlike the Priscilla of old; So quiet is she, I ' m at a loss, as you see, For her conquests and aims are not told. E is for Rita English, An often disturbing young miss; Her designs though harmonious, Art oft ' lacrimonious; And magenta she uses with bliss. G is for Eleanor Gerbrach, Ingenuous, but ever discreet; For four years she has charmed us. At times, quite alarmed us; A more lovable girl one can ' t meet. G is for Master James Green, Whose secret desire I ' ve been told; Is a red leather chair. To which he ' ll repair; And think of designs to be sold. G is for Helena Gronche, Who knows all about operas and dogs; Her interest biologic. And speech pedagogic; Her listening public befogs. H is for Belle Hershkovitz, By whom we never are bored; Like Puck she astounds us. With laughter surrounds us; From gloom to high spirits restored.

W is for Claire Wynot, A popular willowy lass; Her designs often rare, Are drawn with great care; And never unfinished or crass. DRAWING AND PAINTING GUNA IRENA ASBERG Guna never knowing whether she is going to frame class till the last minute is so hard on people who want rides. Off in a corner, Guna discusses week-end plans with Mary. By the way, doesn ' t Guna remind you of Mona Lisa? JOSEPH DONOVAN BARRET loe, when he is not rushing off to do stained glass windows, or to help the juniors distinguish the flexor capi ulnaris and the some- thing or other brachialis, enjoys nothing more than a good talk on Celtic poetry and mythology. NEVARTTE BEDROSSIAN Here comes Nevartte in bright green sweater all set to be an appreciative audience for local wit, to have a serious discussion on this or that, or to do one of her Mancini-like pastels. She is rather like a Mancini painting herself. MARTHA SULLIVAN BURNHAM She has a whimsical humor which goes deep and appreciates subtleties, and a fund of information on any subject. Martha can find the flaw in any argument; and she is generous with her help. We expect that some day her big hobby, photography, will draw her wagon. LUCILE C. CARLISLE Lou is full of enthusiasm and resourcefulness. She can tell you how to take a yard of this and a yard of that and create the season ' s sensation. Lou, making pastels, has found herself. CHESLIE WILLIAM D ' ANDREA Chet paints broadly, sometimes suggestive of Leyendecker. He has achieved fame through a pair of old shoes, his Pierrot portrayals, and his puns. It must have been something I ate. Salami, perhaps? CHARLES DEMETROPOLOS Charlie has played the villian twice; but when he takes off his false mustache, he really can paint. His new word of the week is always very, very choice. He should have no trouble keeping the big bad wolf from the door.
