ZELLA BUCKINGHAM Elementary Drawing, Oil Painting Some influences strike as a tornado, instantaneously, powerfully, dynamically — invariably fleeting! Another influence, stronger, more enduring in its simplicity and gentleness, steals into our living, giving inspiration, con- fidence, faith. In Miss Buckingham we discover this “pearl of great price.” Her quiet charm, sincerity, and sensitive discrimination testify that “deepest rivers flow with the least sound.” THERON I. CAIN Elementary Drawing, Instrumental Drawing, Civic Art, Perspective Efficiently, punctually, and accurately, Mr. Cain per- forms his many duties in our school. We secretly envy his varied interests, whether they are testing art materials, making art aptitude scales, or writing a book on the psychology of color. In spite of ourselves we admire his orderly existence in a near chaos. ARTHUR CORSINI W ater-Color Painting Gay groups, green glassware and gradations! Though rather new to the faculty, he has lost no time in becom- ing firmly established in our respect. No lengthy dis- courses, no glib speeches, but, rather, unassuming, shy statements meet our water-color problems and suddenly we realize he’s summed up our difficulty neatly and con- cisely. CYRUS E. DAELIN Modeling There are few golden words left unsaid for our own “Cyrus the Cireat,” for his genius, kindliness and wondrous wisdom have left a lasting impression on many a class. Horses, clay, and calipers! He is truly a rare combination of great artist, teacher, and fine man, mellowed with a searching understanding of the great puzzle — art.

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.

GENEVIFAE H. EAIREIEED Costume Desig}i Her air of assurance and self-confidence, her business ability and poise, and the zest with which she attacks the problem at hand are an inspiration to the entire class. Her youth and well-groomed appearance go hand in hand with a great capacity for hard work and helpful instruction. (iEORCiE V. EITZ(;iBBONS Soeio ogy A new teacher with a complete understanding of all our sociological and social problems. A man for whom we would forego our rest periods, but who insists that he needs them. His dynamic lectures, punctuated by a subtle sense of humor, are of never-ending interest to us. MARTHA M. FLINT Costume Design, Patterti Drafting Endless patience and limitless good nature characterize our sewing teacher. No matter how short the allotted time, there’s never too much to do when Miss Flint is supervising. Good company and plenty of activity abound in her room, for her glowing personality creates an atmosphere friendly to all. PATRICK GAVIN Artistic Anat 07 ny, Life Drawing and Painting, Perspective He is apt to seize a brush and put a blue high light in just the place that you loved most, which makes people mutter. But Mr. Gavin, defending his gods, is a man in- spired, enabled and, to us, glorious, like a small eager boy or Napoleon with the divine light of conviction in his eye.
