A. we have shared our laughter, our experiences, and our dreams . . . and it is to the realization of these dreams that we lay our hopes for tomorrow. You have been called upon to right a wrong — not of your making . . . in order that we may all retain our dreams for our futures. There will be a better world of your making, — and we pray for your quick and safe return when your mission is fulfilled. ELNA NELSON In deep appreciation of the sacrifice those students are making in interrupting their formal educations in order to preserve for all of us the privilege of education and the freedom of art expression, the Administration and Faculty are glad to second the resolve to dedicate this book to the men and women of the Massachusetts School of Art who are in the service of our Country. PHILIP O. PALMSTROM Acting President The fall of 1940 held the brightest hopes for those of us who formed the class of ’44. Eagerness for achievement in our chosen field seemed more important than the oppressing threat of war. Those were the glorious days of clay fights, frequent rest periods, sketching in the Fenway on bright mornings, and the hearty laughter of male students. Remember? We held lengthy and heated discussions on the election and the draft situation, — and we received formal introduction to the mysteries of plumb lines and vanishing points. We were typical freshmen, — enthusiastic, eager, and . . . green as they grow. We were sophomores when the shadow of December seventh marked a change in the pattern of our school careers. We turned toward our work with a more serious attitude. We found time to give our service in Red Cross work and air raid duty, as well as participating in war activity at school. The armed forces and the opportunity for war jobs drained our class of a third of its membership. The rest of us met many new and exciting experiences that year . . . there were life classes and structural design, ceramics and block printing. With hammer and chisel, we attacked huge blocks of plaster, and Lo and Behold! ... a three dimensional abstract representing “Melancholy” or the “Song of the Thrush at Sunrise”. We struggled with coil-built dishes and conte crayon techniques . . . and were even progressing a little in our perpetual struggle to apply a flat wash. Our junior year confronted us with the task of carrying out our choice of a course. That was the year we specialized. Some of us learned the joys and problems of teaching, and some the thrills and headaches of layout and advertising. The class was again cut in size when the junior Graphic Arts and Costume Design divisions were incorporated into the senior class and many of our classmates finished a year ahead of us. Now as seniors, we are barely over a score in number. The teacher trainers have learned how to correlate with the social sciences; and the designers have not only mastered the problem of applying a flat wash, but have demonstrated professional ability in design achieve- ment. We realize now that the future art of America is dependent upon the right art education and the close cooperation of art and industry. This future is partly in our hands and in the hands of those of you who are now freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. It is our opportunity and our responsibility. We of the class of ' 44 have been able to continue our education through three years of a war that has affected us deeply. We have the faith and assurance that the chaos of the world into which we are graduating is beginning to clear. We have been cut in size, but not in spirit. As we think back upon our years as undergraduates, we wish that those other members of our entering class could be with us now. We wish that they could share the thrill of triumph and accom- plishment we feel as the senior year draws to a close. Let us keep this spirit of ambition and confidence as we meet a new challenge . . . greater, but somehow similar to the one we met In the fall of 1940. VIRGINIA CARTER 5 OF THE SCHOOL ART EDUCATION As prospective educators, it is our privilege to guide children in the field of creative expression ... to broaden and deepen their experience and apprecia- tion, and to help them become creatively intelligent individuals and constructive citizens. We are proud of our opportunity, — for we, too, are part of the fight for freedom of expression. JACQUELIN SAUNDERS GENERAL DESIGN The all-female design department has produced air brush and textile designs as fine as any on the market today. We hold an optimistic view of a bright future in the design field. Thus far our one obstacle seems to be a little insect called a silverfish who has a fondness for the black tempera in the designs hanging on the wall. KATHLEEN WAINWRIGHT GRAPHIC ARTS Ours is a course of new experiences . . . wobbly ven- tures into the fascination of oil painting, the excitement of etching and lithography, and the fun of roaming through the city making sketches in watercolor. Filled with ambition and individuality, we strive to create that which is truly “fine” art. PHYLLIS TOCK October marked the month of the Hallowe’en Party. Amateur talent . . . square dancing . . . polkas . . . box lunches . . . cider and doughnuts contributed to the rustic atmosphere. Perhaps it was the chicken dinner at the Christmas Spread that made us delirious . . . but we all saw it happen. . . . The baby doll, the Jack-in-the-box and Raggedy Ann all came to life before our eyes. The Baby cried and Ann went back to sleep, but the other toys danced for us. Later we danced too . . . and had a wonderful time. This year we had a gathering that was different from all others ... a Mother and Daughter Tea. It was an enjoyable affair that gave our mothers a chance to become acquainted with our classmates and the faculty. Mass. Art night at the “Pops” was revived when the Student Association sponsored a gala evening. It was most enjoyable and decidedly worthwhile. Let us con- tinue this custom! On Fridays the “breeched” and “booted” riding club encounters interesting equestrian experiences. The glee club and modern dance group vie with each other for popularity. Brilliant student leadership has developed in connection with these activities. Thoughts bewildered far beyond The deepest night, the dullest morn. Shattered talents all unfurl A disconcert and dreamy world. An upward growth to greater height Would mean the loss of shadowed sight, For down would pour in torrid mass Against the strength of will and might! Confusion. . . . BEVERLY HALLAM CHECKMATE I spoke — You laughed — I scowled. The game was yours. I’d fouled. You talked a while — I, not at all — For soundproof I had built a wall. But waning humor now grown lax. Endowed you with a verbal axe That brought to light what I’d forgot. You were real . . . the wall was not. JANE HANNAFORD I have five minutes to explain The workings of an artist’s brain If any — and the big Because That underlies the thing he draws; The How and all the Whys within it — And now I’ve used up one full minute. So to the point — and for a start Let me deny I thought of art With a big A or little one I made my drawings just for fun. If they are pictures, put the blame Upon the fact they’re in a frame And in good company, to be sure— I want to stay an amateur! To improvise without restraint. Maybe to paint — or not to paint; To see the spectrum of the prism But have no truck with sect or schism; To shun the critics constant buzzing. And dealers all — a dime a dozen. I am content that A should paint His dream — the world as the world ain’t; Or B, who is a dreadful bore, Repeats what was done well before; While C, confused, believes each school, D is himself, and still — a fool! Art is long and life is brief The world is wide and time’s a thief — It takes five minutes to report That Art is long and time is short. MR. O’DONNELL In allotted five minutes at “Instructors’ Assembly” ODE TO A WET HEDGE Crispy green With rolling drops Of crystal gleam Upon each leaf In globules cool Just waiting for A silly fool Like me To brush them off And get my hand all wet BEVERLY HALLAM ELOISE LINSCOTT PRESIDENT RUTH MARCY VICE-PRESIDENT JANE COLEMAN SECRETARY BARBARA CORRIGAN TREASURER ELOISE LINSCOTT— G.D. Ellie, our class president . . . ami- able, refined, thoughtful, and a gracious leader. When deep think- ing tugs at the corners of her smile, furrowed contemplation arrives! Innumerable tales and problems find form in “apartment life with Mary,” “many men,” “week-end treks to Brockton”, and ventures into the professional design world. RUTH MARCY— T.T. Energy and zip . . . quiet manners . . . black, black, hair, glossy and smooth . . . enormous wide eyes! Morey’s constant supply of excess energy makes us feel like tired old wrecks. A ready hand to help any- one in trouble — generous and liked by everyone. She’s an expert candy dipper, wrapper, and puller. Occa- sionally she eats it. ELLY MARCY COLEY BARBIE to LU U CO JANE COLEMAN— T.T. In from the back woods of Mendon every morning, comes Jane, neat and complete. She does a slick job on her work — even lettering her exams is not a problem. A passion for red barns and precise abstrac- tions. ... A casual cynic with a sense of humor that bursts forth at the most unexpected moments. BARBARA CORRIGAN— G.D. C means cogent, candid critic Corrigan . . . O is ouster of the obsolete . . . R means reading all she can get hold of . . . R — re- former, radical elite. . . I is Barbie’s Irish ingenuity . . . G means gifted gal in Art — Design ... A for Attle- boro, for attainment . . . N — oted soon by others in her line. . . . Put them all together; they spell Corri- gan, . . . Corrigan— that’s Bar-bie! MARIE ANTON— G.D. The first girl manager of the school store . . . Marie possesses an amaz- ing capacity for both the imagina- tive and the technical. There is something of the Old World Charm about her that exudes graciousness and kindly consideration. Stormy horizons are soon cleared through the workings of a rare combination of charm and diplomacy! MARENKA COLLETTE ASCHENBACH— T.T. Tall and willowy— with a flair for peasant fashions — Collette hails from West Springfield. Reminiscent of her days in the costume design course, Collette is always willing to introduce fashion to the art educa- tion department. Dashing hither and yon — laden with teaching mater- ials . . . always doing for others. COLLEnE . . . MILLIE . . SAL MILDRED BARTLETT— T.T. A quiet girl on the surface, but when you get to know her you find the real Milly . . . what a sense of humor! Her wistful brown eyes seem to belie her practical side. Clever dry brush water colors in a dreamy pastel vein — keen mind — -capable of “brain-storm deductions . Have you heard about her transportation problems? SALLY BOYCE— T.T. Sal, the gal with the soft voice and shy smile. Dresses of light pastel tints and chestnut hair parted in the middle give her that smart band box look. . . . Who would think that she came from the wilds of Brook- field? She loves to talk about cows — Elsies or otherwise . . . and those meals at the “Y”!

A quiet girl on the surface, but when you get to know her you find the real Milly . . . what a sense of humor! Her wistful brown eyes seem to belie her practical side. Clever dry brush water colors in a dreamy pastel vein — keen mind — capable of brain-storm deductions”. Have you heard about her transportation problems? SALLY BOYCE— T.T. Sal, the gal with the soft voice and shy smile. Dresses of light pastel tints and chestnut hair parted in the middle give her that smart band box look. . . . Who would think that she came from the wilds of Brook- field? She loves to talk about cows — Elsies or otherwise . . . and those meals at the Y”! CLARE BROCKUNIER— T.T. An indomitable spirit — burning the candle at both ends. Sensitive to beauty of all kinds, Clare lives her art. We love her apartment which she shares with us at lunch time — for hot soup and words of sym- pathy. Vacillating between a wor- ried frown and a gay laugh — it ' s fun to be with her. If Clare is your friend — you’re lucky. VIRGINIA CARTER— T.T. Blue-green is the color to match her eyes. Carter, our efficiency expert — smart in a suit — smiles at us from behind the school store counter. Poised and sedate ... an occa- sional dramatic spree convinces us she has more than a quiet side. “Gin , of the husky voice and ex- pressive eyebrows, does everything well . . . and on time, too. CLARE . . . GIN . . . ANGIE . . . MARIE LOUISE ANGELINE COLONTONIA— G.D. The first on deck in the morning and one of the last to leave the building at night. A clever drafts- man and designer . . . Angie with her sparkling dark eyes and cheer- ful smile is a friend to all. We hope that in her travels through life she will gather as much happiness as she has shed. MARIE LOUISE HORSIN-DEON I.T. Charming, dainty, vivacious and fascinating to listen to ... is our Parisienne Marie. A wisp of chiffon — interesting earrings . . . subtle appeal of color ... a dreamy qual- ity to the girls she paints. Moody, amusing, Marie retains her poise in the most trying circumstances . . . she is always master of the situa- tion. NANCY GRAVES— T.T. A cherry mouth and cropped hair — a highly developed knack of inno- cently getting into trouble — green, green, and more green is her favor- ite color — as though we didn’t know! Efficient in “home” work and school work. ... A personality with- out whom the teacher training de- partment could not get along. MARJORIE HERENE— T.T. Rust, yellow, black, ethereal ab- stractions, photography, together with a diamond, a violin, a piano and Jackie” produce Margie ' s combination. Our pixy with dancing brown eyes and that hair is seen at rest period with an enormous brown paper bag. We envy the ease with which she tackles our many teacher training problems. NANC MARGIE HOKIE EDI I I HARRIETTE HOLCOMB— G.D. I Staunch supporter of brunettes, earrings, and Temple Place U.S.O. Ask her a question and you will invariably receive the emphatic reply of, “Just because!” Fast click of heels down the corridor is as indicative of Hokie as the able I speed with which she designs. A bubbling laugh and a toss of the head accompanies her apprecia- tion of art, literature, and domes- [ ticity. i EDITH KARTSTEIN— G.D. Unmistakably the “genius” of our drawing classes, Edith has devel- oped for herself a wry sense of humor that belies her Stoughton mildness. She demands a thorough explanation of the “why” — of any one — and everything, as well as attention to her usually opposing opinions, and . . . that hot cup of coffee during rest period! LOOPIE MARY MACHLUP— T.T. EfFervescent is the word for Mary. Overflowing with pep and enthu- siasm, she ' s the spark plug of our teacher training division. Still with an English accent, Mary has the where-with-all to go places in teaching. A strange combination of naivete and sophistication — Mary’s laughter is a challenge to all that is smug and complacent. BARBARA MacLEOD— T.T. Sweet Mac, with the candid eyes and a ready laugh for everyone. . . . She married and returned to school to graduate with us. Long fair hair flying as she dashes across for coffee . . . she’s our sophisti- cated Alice-in-Wonderland! Quiet, friendly, and intelligent, Barbara is a lovely person to look at — and to know. MAC BUFF ELLIE MAUDE MILLER— G.D. Calm, dignified, poised ... a genial hostess. Our Student Association President has a flair for style and a lively interest in music, books, plays and movies. Somehow lengthy letters to “our” boys in the service don’t hinder the completion of work be- fore deadlines. Apply the name Buff’’ to this rare combination. ELNA NELSON— T.T. Whimsical Ellie — whose quiet de- termination knows not failure . . . Our modernist — an enthusiast for wet paper painting on wall paper. Bright red and black are her colors. Creative Elna — who does as well with words as with her brush . . . and weaves all the loose threads of language into a perfect whole . . . as Editor-in-Chief of our Year Book. BARBARA PEASE— T.T. A never-ending source of good humor — a readiness to assist any- one in need of help. A hostess to sailors and soldiers at the Y”. Peasey devotes all her spare time — and even her thesis — to the morale building of the service men. On the side she is taking a course in Fluent” French. We wonder why? BARBARA RYAN— T.T. The vigorous member of the Bartlett, Boyce, Ryan gang, and a dweller at the Y”! Hearts and flowers make up her motif. She has a super sense of humor . . . bubbling over with jolly, contagious laughter and a store of jokes which she picks up somewhere. What a joy she must be to those high school students on Tuesdays! ALBERT PETITTO— T.T. Harassed and heckled by women, Al is the man of our Art Education outfit. An able sculptor and car- penter, he is our salvation when there is construction work to be done. With his window displays and figurines, “Petitt is already established in the business world. He is a clever fellow . . . with a twinkle in his eye. . . . PETin RYE PHYLLIS RIEHL— G.D. If she didn ' t excel in general design, modern dancing, horseback riding, swimming, skiing and summer camp work — and if she didn ' t handle all the odd jobs from running the Brush-Off” to clerking at the school store — and if she didn ' t have a Mom that makes such wonderful cookies . . . then, she just wouldn ' t be our Phil. PHIL JACKIE BILLIE JACQUELIN SAUNDERS— T.T. A serious and progressive teacher trainer; we count on her for perfect examples of correlation and inte- gration. A charter member of the riding club. One of a pair — her sense of humor rises to the top when she and Margie are together. We never know what they are laughing at, but they have fun! ADRIENNE SEAGRAVE -G.D. “Billie” might not suggest a silvery laugh and golden hair — but there is a story behind that nickname. Somehow her work incorporates sincerity and vivaciousness and is suggestive of the wind, the wide open West, and her Navy man across the sea ... At rest period we invariably witness the tempo- rary disappearance of Ellie and Billie. MARY CONLON— G.D. Driving energy . . . she carries the political problems of the universe in her mind, — then deftly finds ex- pressive transition in her class work. Her theories have capably envel- oped modern painters, music, books and Walt Whitman. Conversational gaps are filled with news of her girls — Virginia and Dorothy. PHYLLIS TOCK— G.A. A soft voice and gentle ways sur- round the knowing power that exists within. Her silence, always friendly, is rarely broken by fault- finding criticism, but more usually by well considered praise. Along the way, impeded by constant change, she has remained at heart — the graphic artist. MARY PHYL DENNIS SHEEHAN We remember his quiet and whim- sical personality as a member of the Reilly, Flanagan, Sheehan trio. To know Dennis was to discover his depth of thought and feeling in art — and in all things. As a fine like- able person he will remain in the memories of his classmates. LOUIS serves Sgt. FRANCIS V.

PAUL YEARBOOK STAFF Splendid cooperation and hard work have made it possible for us to produce the kind of yearbook we thought you would want. This has been accom- plished in spite of all the little problems which are accentuated during a period of war. We hope that when you pick up this yearbook ten years from now, you will be reminded of old friend- ships and experiences of your years at the Massa- chusetts School of Art. If it accomplishes that pur- pose, the members of the staff will feel satisfied that they have been successful in their efforts.

The shadow of war fell across the glow of normal days and was emphasized by the absence of many of our students. It was not in spite of the dark shadow but rather because of it that the Student Association planned new activities. Interest, cooperation and fellowship are proof of the spirit with which these plans were carried through . . . proof of the harvest that has been reaped.

At last we begin to see the road ahead . . . the training for our chosen vocation has begun in earnest. The teacher trainers have started their practice teach- ing, — and the general designers are producing diverse forms of commercial and fine art. Our graphic art students are demonstrating their powers of artistic expression in a variety of mediums . . . and we speed on toward our senior year all too swiftly. MILMA COZAD The class of ’46 . . . slightly depleted in size, but doubled in enthusiasm. The same familiar struggle with imaginary picture planes and cubes, oil paints and water colors . , . exciting moments as the kiln is opened, or as we peel off the paper from our first block print . . . the fantastic nightmares of dancing skeletons or squirming muscles just before an anatomy exam . . . AND the slightly superior feeling, now that we have a class under us. SOPHOMORE CLASS BARBARA CHASE PRESIDENT MARY McCABE VICE-PRESIDENT ROSAMOND STRONG SECRETARY ROBERT STEVENSON TREASURER BARBARA ANN CHASE FRESHMAN CLASS ELAINE SMITHERS DOROTHY McLEAN ELAINE BIGANESS FLORENCE CARLAN PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT SECRETARY TREASURER The transition from bewildered freshmen to worldly, seniors is a tedious, but worthwhile struggle. We knew and felt this when we entered these portals for the first time last September. With unlimited energy and confidence in our ability we were resolved to make the grade. Our ups and downs came frequently and will undoubtedly continue . . . but we feel certain that they are stepping stones to a complete success.
