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.

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.

LUCY HELEN GAZARIAN Lost, one set of keys! Finder please return to Lucy; they ' re usually hers. The smaller the drawing, the greater difference a quarter of an inch makes! When Lucy wants to be dignified, she puts on two-inch heels. LUCILLE MELINA MARCOTTE Lou has the magic touch of making and keeping friends, plus an even temperament we envy. She is an industrious worker, and does she get results! MARIE FRANCES MULGREW Marie may have a hard time choosing between painting and the stage. In the many parts she has played, she has always given a sincere and convincing portrayal. But can we say less of her paintings? LAURA RITA PIGNANELLI Chet, have you got a sandwich? I ' m hungry. — Laura ' s paintings and pastels are alive with rich color and golden tones. Pas mal — keep up the good work, daughter. TEACHER TRAINING RUTH CHALMERS Her voice was ever soft. Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman. ' The one and only imp ersor,ator! Listen — and you will gain a wealth of valuable information, many hours of mirthful entertainment, and a true friend. EDITH CHASE Her voice was like the voice the stars Had when they sang together. A dainty, sensitive, elfish creature enriching our lives with her own quiet happiness. Embodied her own personality in her puppet, Christopher Robin. It is hard to connect her with horses, but just ask her about them and then — whoa Edith! CLAIRE COOK Profound sincerity is the only basis of talent, as of character. She ' s sincerity, enthusiasm, and spontaneity rolled into one. She either likes a thing very emphatically or dislikes it still more emphatically. Angus, archery, acorn buttons, ice skating, scouts, and scarlet sweaters, — all mean Cookie! GERTRUDE DODD She is so guiet we hardly realize she is with us; but when she is gone, she is very much missed. Her interest and work in the sorority has made her especially popular. Her enthusiasm for decorative bookbinding is sure to bring her success.
