COSTUME DESIGN DORIS LISS Persian disciple of Laurencin, with irreverent enthusiasm, paints sloe-eyed creatures on three column layouts. GORDON CLERKE the play ' s the thing. Mascart, Mascart, and more Mascart! Born to the drama with the unquenchable thirst for grease paint and footlights. When not on stage or backstage, he is out watercoloring. LAWRENCE KUPFERMAN Never in school before ten o ' clock, never stops his sketching, always ready for comments and compliments and a chance to express himself. The two greatest things in his life are Ruthie and etching. LESTER MYERS Strong, virile, dynamic, and bombastic. A grand basso profundo that blasts forth at surprising and unexpected moments. Much interested in the drama and stage; constantly quoting and reciting much to the displeasure and annoyance of his classmates.

DOMINICA STURNIOLO A flashing pearly smile, twinkling brown eyes, a bit of humor, and a giggle tell us that Minnie is near. A tiny person continually wrestling with torsos, arms, legs, feet, hands, portraits, but, mostly, muscles. PHYLLIS WALES A dainty lady who has just stepped from a page of Vogue. Prim and petite, devoted to children and children ' s literature, it is a refreshing pleasure to be near Phyl and to listen to her talk. She is a sympathetic, whole-hearted, and well-wishing listener, and, above all, a true friend. VIRGINIA WHEELER Patience is a high virtue, certain. For it vanguisheth, as this clerk seyn. Things that rigour should never attain. A quiet, sweet, and friendly person, born to a classroom. A good listener and a keen observer. DOROTHY WHITE There are moments when silence, prolong ' d and unbroken. More expressive may be than all words ever spoken. Dot never speaks a word unnecessarily, for she is very modest, shy, and retiring; but when she does speak, she gives her listeners a wealth of information and enjoyment. HELEN WROBLINSKI All kin ' o ' smily ' round the lips. An ' teary ' round the lashes. Give a rose the right atmosphere and it will bloom in glory, and once seen will never be forgotten and will always be enjoyed. Quiet, calm, modest, and sincere is Helen of Teacher Training. MODELING GEORGE McKENNA Don ' t cry pappy, yo ' can raise the mo ' gage makin ' bas relief portraits. Maybe George spends his time downstairs out-Phidiasing Praxiteles, but judging from the floor after he comes up to visit, he still has feet of clay. DRAWING AND PAINTING JAMES POWERS LEMP Water color landscapes are his business; red-orange, green, and purple, his pet colors. His favorite diversion is heated arguments about practically anything, and he is still looking for a red-headed woman with green eyes. DESIGN L is for Alexander Levitt, Who puts forth his views by the score; His speeches are long. And his arguments strong; His reasoning sound to the core.

NONA LOCKMAN Xe (Ballet [R usse They stand or kneel in simple grace. Then sway in air like silken feathers That move with a music of light wind ; They how low and touch earth, Then lift their pointed feet — and leap Like long curved fawns, like straight thrust swords. Like Life surging, roused, awake! They mingle, touch, and withdraw, — Or with a startled flutter as of spread wings They turn and twist and twirl to a new ' ecstatic rhytlmi And the vivid silence of the Dance speaks! Beatrice Cohen ’36.
