COSTUMING NHIE fingers and minds of many unite in making the citizens of America the best dressed in the world. No matter where one turns one cannot escape seeing examples of the costumer’s art. The neatly dressed =— Woman, the well-groomed man, both expressing themselves in their clothes. Some are born with a natural instinct for choosing the right clothes, but others must use the shop win- dows for inspiration and turn as children to those who know best. Different figures and colorings, even personalities, must be considered in the designing of ready made clothes. Thus the de- signer of costumes finds his place in the world satisfying the de- mands of the hurried mortals who must be smartly dressed. The Art School gives a foundation in this work. Here we learn the blending of color and fabrics, beauty of line, and study the intricately cut smart costume, the conservatively neat one and so on down the line until each type is satisfied. HELENE SLATTERY RESEARCH WORK AT THE MUSEUM ‘THE Museum holds a mine of helpful material for the Art Stu- dent. The costume illustrator finds it especially attractive because of its variety of old costumes and jewelry. The mode in present-day ornaments has been copied in part from the East Indian jewels. History repeats itself and so do styles, and there is no better place than the Museum to get inspiration. [ 63 |

MECHANICAL CLASS OF 1928 1HE Mechanical Class of 1928 entered dear old Fawcett total strangers but the ensuing years have wrought a bond of friendship deep and true. We began our final year of study with a vision of success drawing near. Looking back we realize that our studies have been a pleasure and will afford many fond recollections in the future. As graduates of the Fawcett School of Industrial Arts, we have reason to feel proud of our accomplishment and due to the pains- taking and untiring efforts of our various instructors our past has proven beneficial and our future should be well assured. All we must do is work hard. The Mechanical Class of 1928 takes this opportunity to express its appreciation and good will to the Principal, Miss Marguerite Marquart, and the Faculty of the School. JAMES L. BERKLEY, President Mechanical Class ’28 [ 62 ]
