MARY EDNA MURRAY Dean and Registrar Miss Murray, we suspect, enjoys us artists, our bewildering shortcomings and enthusiasms. We take a characteristic pleasure in her stimulation, too. She sur- prises our conservatism with corsages and metallic gleams. She organizes us into orchestras and angel hosts for pageants. But more than that, an attractive affability is hers which eases our fears, as she champions us against all comers.

CHARLES EDWARD NEWELL President M.S.A., State Director oj Art Education I ' he delicate task of maintaining the spirit of our school against the tide of restless and uncertain years is President Newell’s. With pageants and by-laws, medals and mascots, and the myriad delicate threads of custom he binds each class to the school tradition. It is thus, by his constant devotion to the details of the scene, that theorderedgraciousnessof tradi- tional Boston has been made to flower here.

FRANK L. ALLEN Head of Design Department By the golden voice of his enthusiasm and the power of his magic eye, Mr. Allen holds us spellbound. He looks very knowing at our bright excuses, for he remembers how all the old ones became good ones in time, and he has hopes of us. A knock at his red-hung office door calls forth his sounding, eternally inviting “Come!” J. MACE ANDRESS Psychology A perfect example! His thorough enjoyment of living reflects in his appearance, in his classroom, and in his lectures. Dr. Andress receives our interested but often unappreciative attention. But his disarming, cheery smile assures us that the “battlefield of life” is worth the good fight.
