BIABEL f'Unn.xN 'Twas hard to realize that the stately dignified senior who captured first prize at Kappa Speaking was once that shy, bashful freshman. Mabel was fortunately assimilated into our ranks from St. Joseph's School and for four years has been winning honors for Drury. Sophomore and Senior years, lNIahel's Kappa was one of the four best. As alunini editor of the Academe, she con- tributed so many UQ notes that she was re-elected Junior year. Usually, Mabel displays her convent behavior but once Bliss Spencer had to fire her. hlabel is one of those chosen to speak at graduation for high scholarship. Next year will find Mabel at Wellesley. STELLA Doomzv Stella coines from South Church Street. She rises at 5.30 and arrives at school just as the clockistrikes a quarter past eight. Stella takes a great delight in filling out tardy slips, and she has never known what it is to run short of an excuse. If you want a pencil ask Stella. she'll give you a short hand pencil, and what is more it will be so short. that you will not be able to write with it. Stella takes a great interest in typewriting, but niore so in the demonstrators that have visited the school in the past years. A great future is expected for Stella, who some day will invest her large fortune in a pencil manufacturing business. P' I

But in spite of her gay life, she has devoted a few odd moments toliterary work. aretlie result of which she was early elected to the Academe Association. and has contributed some interesting stories to the paper. .Xs Julia in the Farees she gave an example of what she could do to hearts. Violet is particularly interested in demonstrations given on the ltflonarch typewriter. She has registered, along with her inseparable companion, for the Albany training school for nurses. The best wishes of 1911 go with her. lXlARIUN C7oNN15LL 1 . Marion, yes, we all know her. she is one of the many auburn haired beau- ties of the class. Four years she has been winding her way from the Swamp to Old Drury. She is a very quiet girl and never makes a noiseg only when hir. Kearney announces that he intends to give a chemistry test. lNIoving pictures, ah yes. this is one of her delights. for every afternoon you can see her going down Main st. with a broad smile and her fist clutched tight. 'Hfhis car for Adamsf, cries the conductor, and there sits Marion on the front seat. Of course there is no attraction down there, she simply goes for the ride. Marion intends to enter Normal next year, and all our best wishes go with her. 16

RUTH FULLER Ruth came to us from Freeman Grammar School with such ai sweet tem- perament tthis is the polite word for temper, lNIr. Coleman tells usj. But four years at Drury have greatly changed her. Ruth has been a prominent member of Der Deutsche Yereinf' To any one contemplating a graduation present for Ruth. we would suggest a Big Ben. No wonder lVIr. Kearney's hair is turning gray, chasing her around for slips. YVe hope that next year Ruth will be more considerate of the teachers at VVells. 18
