With John Lindquist photography is a hobby. " From nine in the morning until five-thirty in the afternoon," writes George Whiting Seaton, " he is the complete cashier (for one of Boston's largest department stores), but from five-thirty in the afternoon until he is forced into bed, and during all his vaca- tions and week-ends, his time is de- voted to photography." He first be- came interested in dance photography while on a week-end trip to the Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts at Tanglewood in 1939, visiting Jacob's Pillow to see the Shawn Dancers be- fore the concert. Invited by Ted Shawn to a special dance performance, he did photographs which were so successful TAKE he was invited to spend his vacation DOUBLE at the Pillow. Here he took several A. photogenic dress of thousand shots — and he has been doing fine rayon sheer for Sum- dance pictures ever since.

John Dary Aiken is an instructor in Applied Design, Mechanical Drawing Misses' Sizes, 29.90 and Puppetry at the Boston School of Occupational Therapy, and instructor in drawing and painting at the Browne and Nichols School in Cambridge. A graduate of the Vesper George School of Art, he has studied with Elliot O'Hara. For two seasons he designed [ mi ] - stage settings at the Copley Theater in m wWesUyfoo Boston and the Surray Theater in Maine. He has exhibited his water- colors in Bar Harbor, Newport, the Pennsylvania Academy of Design, the Gloucester Society of Artists and the Wellesley Society of Artists. His first one man show was at the English Book- aW*, shop in New York in 1936. His first show in Boston was at the Grace Home Galleries in 1937. His paintings were shown in the Gallery in Symphony Hall in April, 1942. Mr. Aiken has been teaching at the Boston School of Occupational Therapy for the last five years. His work there is a direct contribution to the war effort, for it is imperative that many occupa- tional therapists be prepared for serv- ice in Army and Navy hospitals. Occu- coiff 1 Will pational therapists use as media of treatment social, recreational, and edu- cational pursuits. They are trained to carry out therapeutic techniques under direct medical supervision. While aae#*fi«| knowledge of manual arts is only part Wixma 1 of the technique of a modern occupa- tional therapist, a basic understanding of the working processes of line, form and color in design and esthetic appre- ciation is essential in this remedial profession. The following water-colors by Mr. Aiken are included in this exhibit: 1. " Vermont Winter " (Loaned by Mr. and Mrs. John S. Smyth) " 2. " Summer Sea " 3. " Air Raid " 4. " Thames Barges " 5.

The members of the Orchestra, on C(<£STA BLANCA their own initiative, organized and per- formed various concerts for service men. On three Sundays during the season the full Orchestra with Dr. Kousse- vitzky gave concerts in Symphony Hall, free of charge, for men and women in uniform with their escorts. At other times, and supplementary to the usual winter schedule, groups of Boston Symphony players have visited five of the training camps within travel- ing distance of Boston to give concerts.
