TDedicatiorL. ' N a school where recognition is given for efficiency and service, Alarion Farnham is conspicuous. She exempHfies the steadfastness of purpose, devotion to high standards, and wilHngness to cooperate so characteristic of her ancestors, the early New England settlers. Like her ancestors, she lived in New England and here received her early training. Her graduation from the high school of Maiden. Massachusetts was toUoweH by her graduation from the Massachusetts Normal Art School. Upon completion of her art course, she accepted a position as instructor of Art and English in the grade schools of Porto Rico, and later in the University of Porto Rico where she studied along with her teaching. The completion of her studies at the university carried with it not only the degree of Bachelor of Arts but also the honor of being the first graduate of that institution. After her return to the States, she continued her studies during the summer at Columbia University and the following year at Boston University, from which institution she received her degree of Master of Arts. Miss Farnham ' s training and teaching experiences have fitted her splendidly for the position she now holds. Her work with the school children of Porto Rico, her two years ' supervision of the art work in the City Normal School of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the special art courses ta ken at the University of Pennsylvania have given her a clear understanding of the art problems in the grades. With this equipment she came to West Chester in the fall of 1923, and this knowledge has ever been a vital factor in the organization of her courses. The success of her work has been attested by the fact that in 1929 she was made head of the art department. Possibly extensive travel has contributed as largely to her success as any other item. The nine years spent in Porto Rico marked the beginning of her travels. Since that time one summer was spent in California, and two summers were spent on pilgrim:iges to the old world, under the direction of the Bureau of University travel. The first art tour featured the International Art Conference at Prague, while the second pilgrimage, better known as the Aenied Cruise, offered opportunity to visit the gre.it art centers of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Services to the school have by no means been limited to the class room for she has actively participated in the various phases of school life. Suggestions for decorations, for stage and pageant settings always freely given, have been followed by achievements, and from the most unpromising and inadequate materials she has produced astonishing results. In all the various activities of the school, religious, social, and educational, she has always manifested a keen interest, and in many of these, her part has been a real contribution. It is therefore, in appreciation of such services and friendly cooperation that the Class of 1932 dedicates this Serpentine to Miss Marion Farnham. Six
