It can do you 110 harm, therefore, to learn something about the manner in which the Cutting-made clothes are tailored. You may not desire to go into the clothing business, but you wear clothes, and an investigation of ' this subject will teach you to know the good from the bad in fabrics and tailoring. Cutting-made clothes are wholesale tailored in the same manner, only more scientifi- cally, as high price merchant tailors make their garments 3 but our enormous output enables us to produce the highest class clothes at the lllllllllllllll of cost.

Wliile the book is not entirely a class book, the idea originated with '98g and although it will naturally prove more interesting to theni, nevertheless it also belongs partly to the whole school. Should this book receive their approbation and support, the publishing of such an annual will no doubt become a custom. ' If this is the result, its purpose will have been accomplished.

XVIx1:l:l':v 5 The History of Drury Academy -689- HE HISTORY of Drury Academy dates back to the building of the original edifice in 1843 upon the height which the present building now crowns. , In 1840, Nathan Drury, seriously ill and feeling that the end must soon come, made a will wherein, among other evidences of his large-hearted generosity, he bequeathed 593,000 for the purpose of founding a school, to be known as Drury Academy. The building was completed in 1843 and for nine years the school was conducted by Lyman Thompson who had been selected as principal. Drury was at that time, as the reader understands, a private school. At first the school was very successful, the membership at one time amounting to about one hundred, but under Mr. Thompson's charge it finally fell into a decline and its condition became very discouraging. The trustees accordingly voted in 1850 to choose a committee of three to advise with Mr. Thompson and the school committee in relation to establishing a high school in connection with the academy. An arrangement to this end was effected and in 1851 a free high school was first established in North 6 DRURY ACADEMY .

The school continued under this arrangement with very frequent changes of principals until in 1865 A. D. Miner assumed control of the school, which was then at an exceedingly low ebb. Mr. Miner in one of his reports states that when he accepted the principalship the school was in a hlanguisliing condition. There was Very little or no local pride in the success of the institution. All discipline among the pupils had long since departed. In 1866, the board of trustees voted to let the academy property to the town of Adams with the right and privilege of taking down the old building, regrading the lot and erecting a new building thereon for school pur- poses, and in 1867 the old building was torn down, the hill cut down seventeen feet and the present edifice erected at a cost of about ifQ6o,ooo. Later the annex was built at a cost of fl2,000. Under the management of Mr. Miner, the school at once assumed a cheerful aspect. The first formal graduation occured in 1572, the graduating class consisting of one young lady, Miss Gustena A. Benton, now Mrs. H. E. Wetherbee. From then until the present time the quality of work done has rapidly and continually improved and the number of students increased. The largest class graduating was that of '97 which numbered twenty-seven: but nearly double that number of students aie expected to graduate this year. In 1891 Mr. Miner was succeeded as superintendent by Mrs. Dewey, and Charles Spaulding connnenced his duties as principal of the high school. In 1895 Dr. H. H. Gadsby became principal. Drury is at the present time in a most prosperous and flourishing condition. The number of students has increased so rapidly that the academy building is already overcrowded and a new building must soon be provided. 9 Faculty Herbert Hume Gadsby, Ph.

After a few years residence in this place he moved to Buckland, Mass., where he spent his early childhood. At the age of nine he came to North Adams, where, on account of years of sickness he has dragged out a miserable existence. Lately, however,his in- tellectuality has returnedg so much so in fact that he is one of the brightest of our class and as a student has few equals. Throughout his course at Drury, in spite of his zeal for study, he has caused the instructors great trouble by his pranks, and his W E tender feelings have often been wounded by the reprimands which it has fm,,2!,mg been necessary to administer to him. , ffzgfmafiiszr , . . .

She is esteemed by all her classmates and has repeatedly held honors from them. XS Gertrude has always shown adecided tendency toward music, and for several years has made a special study of the violin and piano, and the result obtained assures us that it has not been in Vain. l She is a great admirer of the picturesque, and often travels to enjoy the beauties of nature more fully. In her last expedition she sailed up the St. Lazcfrefzre in company with Miss Everton, and since assures us that she never enjoyed anything more fully than that. She intends taking a post-graduate course at Drury, and then entering Mt. Holyoke College, and her many friends unite in wishing her every success in her future career. Katrina Pauline Blackinton KATRINE PAULINE BLACKINTON is a staunch and firm supporter of '98 and will graduate with a fine standing. She has served on many committees of importance and although in order to attend the meetings she must rush through her dinner and catch the next car back, she has always done so willinglyf?j Ka-the-rine as she is sometimes called and Tot Schouler are great chums and as a rule occupy the same seat. One day in English some mischievous person pinned their sleeves together behind their backs which prevented their rising when called upon. This was very amusing to the class but no doubt was embarrassing for the two girls. Katrine will probably enter college next fall, but as yet is undecided whether Smith or Vassar seems most advantageous. Thomas Foster Boyd K BETTER known as Tom, is a verv sly, independent fellow He has fooled many people for he is not as innocent as he looks. Has shown a decided interest in the departments of science, especially in chemistry, but detests English and there are others. He is an accomplished violinist and the school has many times had the opportunity of listening to him. He is an ardent supporter of all athletics and as a basketball player has few equals in school. If a vote were to be taken as to the haudsomest fellow in the class he would no doubt get the majorityg that is if all the young ladies should vote. We have not been able to locate the centre of his affections, but we believe that Holyoke has a strong attraction for him. V9 Lillian Viola Bradford I-IILLIAN VIOLA BRADFORD has distinguished herself in many Ways since she first crossed Drury's threshold, in her freshman year. In the first place, she is extremely bright in German and Chemistry for though small in stature she is by no means small in intellect. In the second place, she is noted for eating the last half of her breakfast during devotionals, While her half-starved classmates view her with envy as she calmly devours a cookie, or perhaps an orange. Lillian possesses a nervous and excitable nature and woe be unto the unfortunate person who is seated behind her, trying to do an examination. This fall she intends to enter the Normal School, Agnes Fleming Browne AGNES F. is the fifth and last member of the family to graduate from old Drury and she promises to keep up the high standard of scholarship set by the former graduates in the family. Ag has, throughout her course, been of a studious CPJ disposition, but she has also had plenty of time to attend to her social functions, and her walks and parties are universally known. Ag's'l strong point is French, and in this language she promises, in time, to become as fluent as a native Parisian. After leaving Drury Ag will enter the Normal School Where she intends to fit herself for her life work of teaching. Agnes Ora Brown 11BRONVNIE, or Agnes O. I., means the same thing. Throughout her course at Drury she has been rather a quiet girl, attending strictly to her duties and her own business, and so is admired by her classmates and teachers alike. Brownie has been privileged to hold the ofiice of Class Secretary throughout the four years at Drury, and has proved herself to be fully deserving of this honor in every way. 20 . One of her chief misdeeds has been the extremely bad habit of tempting her classmates by a large bag of doughnuts after the last signal has been sounded, and so has occasionally been severely reprimanded by the Doctor. Brownie has always been a great reader. Formerly she pursued with great diligence the ancient writers, enjoying above all else Hozfzer, but of late her happiest moments are spent in reading Spezzfer. She has not yet decided as to'her future career, but her classmates join in wishing her all success. Felicia Hemans Brown FELICIA HEMANS BROVVN has won many laurels for the class of '99 She has a beautiful voice which she is ever ready to use for the pleasure and benent of her classmates. She is also one of the best if not the most pleasing speaker in the class, which was certainly proved at the Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking contest where she won the first prize. It is 11ot only her splendid delivery which attracts attention but the beauty and clearness of her writings. One of the prominent boys in our class, in whom we have placed much mlyidmzfe C?J has recognized Felicia's merits and takes every means of showing his appreciation. Strange to say they sat side by side in Latin until the Doctor perceiving their intimacy which drew their attention from unhappy Dido and Aeneas to pleasanter thoughts, separated them, which caused much sorrow and sympathy among their friends. Felicia has not yet decided what her future course will be but we hope she will enter college to continue along the lines where she has shown so much ability. Alfred Edward Bunting ALFRED EDVVARD BUNTING, otherwise known as Baby Bunting, although a member of the Class of '95 only since last September, has during the short period that he has been witl1 us, endeared himself to all l1is classmates. He is an earnest student, giving to his studies his strictest attention, and his delight seems to be in quoting from the leading statesmen, poets and authors. Alfred is a very genial fellow and is a great favorite with the young ladies in whose company he seems perfectly at 2I ease showing that he has had a wide acquaintance with the fair sex. He is a devout OD worker and earnest supporter of the Y. M. C. A. Bunting after a course at Williams will take up medicine as a profession. ' His best study is studying the time table ofthe H. V. R. C. Ken Elisha Burrows U 'PUBH enjoys the high distinction of being the shortest fellow in the class. Has spent much time and energy in the attempt to raise a moustache but with indifferent success. Patience, and a continued use of invigorators will, we believe, bring the reward merited by such heroic efforts. Ken has shown his ability as a ball player by covering third base in a creditable manner for the last three seasons. As an orator, Ken made a great hit when he delivered his Defence for Ireland, and some have predicted that We have an equal of Gladstone amongst our number. XVe regret that he has left school and a rumor has been circulated that he has gone to war with his bonny lass who has recently joined the Red Cross Society. Grace Mae Clark G-RACE, alias Pete is a shy, timid, little maiden with golden hair and blue eyes. Throughout her course at Drury she has been very successful in her studies, doing well in each branch. But she seems particularly fond of Chemistry and Botany and never tires of watching with jealous eyes the growth of the little pollywogs, which are kept in the laboratory. She is one of our social lights, and completely outshines herself and all others at the school hops, and especially at all impromptu dances. She is generally light hearted and gay, but of late, at the departure of her dearest hope from '98, her songs have become hushed, and her classmates greatly sympathize with her in her great affliction. - Grace intends going to housekeeping after graduation, and it is needless to say she will not do so alone. 22 Elizabeth Mary Costello ELIZABETH MARY COSTELLO is one of the most pleasing girls in the class of '98. She is popular with her class- mates and teachers and is one of the students l' of the class. Elizabeth has great talent as an elocutionist and has often appeared in various roles before the public and many times has delighted the members of '98 with her recitations. She has very winning ways and a pleasing manner and will surely make friends wherever she goes. After leaving Drury Elizabeth intends taking a course at the Normal. It is also said that she will go on the stage and would doubtless make a hit in such a career. Dennis Eugene Coughlin DENNIS EUGENE COUGHLIN, ex-football captain, amateur athlete and all-round good fellow was born at North Adams, attended public schools and entered Drury High School with class of '98. Of course Gene remembers his first lively experience in the freshman year when the '97 class gave him the gentle twirl. Tnat sleighride party, too, which held forth one memorable night at Paradise's with frolic galore must be refreshingly recalled. Gene's l' school life would have lost all charm but for the absorbing interest he displayed in fistic encounters, which, with him, are the outward expressions of the game we call football. Gene's predilection for scrap. conjoined with that all sweeping temper of which apparently he never seems to unmask enough makes him appear as a veritable Phil Sheridan tuitj carrying everything before him. He is an apt hand at spinning a yarn, but sometimes loses his thread. His conduct toward the girls has ever been suasive and pleasing, which consideration has, in the eyes of the boys, rendered him the lion in sheep's clothing. It is hoped he won't prove another Rip Van Winkle. Elizabeth Scovel Cutting SOMEHOW, we never have found a very appropriate nickname for this fair member of '98, but to many of her friends she is simply Bess. However she is a jolly, good girl, one of the most popular in her class, and 0116 of our most con- 23 scientious workers, Coutside of making up French in the sunimerj. But her success is not only in her studies. She is also one of our musicians and her name has already become renowned forever, by her masterly skill on the piano. She was 'one of the favored few who were banished from Drury, and has not until late possessed a desk at Drury. So her sweet morning nap has necessarily been abandoned, and poor Bess may often be seen rushing up Drury Hill, her hat askew, hairpins flying in all directions, hastily devouring the last remnant of her breakfast, a luscious peach Cher favorite fruit by the wayj and pantingly gaining her seat at the last moment. She intends entering Vassar College this fall. Dorothy Elizabeth Davies DOROTHY ELIZABETH DAVIES, alias Doe is '98's star poetess, but due to the young 1ady's reluctance to bring her- self into public notice, her talent lies hidden. Once in a great while, however, her poetical genius bursts forth into rythmical verses, entitled Characters at the last dance, etc. Dorothy has an affectionate and loving nature, but is easily misled, for who will forget her hurried exit from chemistry on April I, 1898, on receiving the intelligence that someone wished to talk with her at the telephone. She had evidently for- gotten the old adage, haste makes waste. After graduation, Dorothy may go to Boston Tech but it is more probable that she will apply for a situation as porter on the New York Central from Fitchburg to Yellow Springs, Ohio. Winfield Haynes Dennett OUR friend Dennett's rambling and promiscuously indefinable career will not bear microscopic scrutiny, so we will go aloft to the galleries and take a bird's eye view. Born in Lewiston, Me., he came to town in time to join the procession with the '98 banner. Today he is standard bearer. These natal affiliations by the way account for Winnie's ideas of Heroes and Hero Worship in the persons of Reed, Frye, Dingley and others. To this source we can trace the reason for his using Maine indiscriminately for another work having the same phonetic signification but meaning quite a different 24 thing. Gossip has it that Winnie is to be a soldier. His speed development down in the back yard will go a great ways toward making our embryo warrior a successful campaigner. Besides being a good runner VVinnie has serviceable acquaintance with shelling and bombarding as the Normal School end of Church Street testifies. His subtilty is occasion- ally productive but once in particular it was adversely so. Never mind, Winnie, April Fool's day will come again. His record as a seatoccupant almost equals his spells of distraction. But his accomplishmexfs as a lady charmer are abnormal. QNit.D 'WVinnie,' says that if a two-hour labor law were operative in Drury, school life would be more to his liking. He forgets the injunction Whats0ever thy hand iindeth to do, do it with all thy might. In exams Dennett has a predilection for Brown paper. Alice Rebecca Dyson 51ALLIE, as her friends call her, entered the High School in the fall of '94 with the Class of '98, During the first two years of her career in the High School she took the classical course, but on her return in the Senior Middle year she substituted this for the literary course, which she is at present carrying. Alice is of a retiring disposition and has not taken much interest in the social doings of the class but this does not lessen the large circle of friends which she has both in and out of the High School. She has not as yet made any plans for the future and is undecided as to what she shall pursue when she leaves Old Drury, It is rumored that she will join the Red Cross Society. Grace Gertrude Faulkner GRACE GERTRUDE FAULKNER has always been one of the most active members of the Class of '98. Grace devotes all of her spare time to her studies, her favorite study being English Literature, Grace is a great favorite with her classmates and is especially liked by her teachers. She has great dramatic powers and has often appeared before the public. Sophomore year she entered the Kappa Phi Alpha contest and was successful in winning first prize. She is a very lively person and is of an athletic turn of mind so when basket ball was proposed as a sport for the Drury girls she was one of its warmest enthusiasts. Grace is very fond of nature and line scenery and thinks Williamstown the most picturesque place in Berkshire. 25 Edwin Vincent Guinan EDWIN VINCENT GUINAN, of metropolitan birth and rural domestication was born at New York city and moved to North Adams when quite young. He, has grown with the suburb in which he lives until now he can claim the respectful atten- tion of the people of the borough. For a small man, broadly speaking, Ted', is a remarkably active man, Qpresto changol now you see him, now you don't. He is a prodigious worker carrying a few books home every noon and bringing them all the way back again. A good student, a practical observer and a wielder of the rhetorical weapon Hd1'g'IH7lE7ZfZ477l ad lzomirzem, l' Ted is sure to wedge his way to a commanding position. It has been observed, however, that Ted is not much of an astrologer as he does not know when the moon is full. He intends to enter Williams in the fall. Charles Bertram Hollis CHARLES BERTRAM HOLLIS was born at Hudson, Mass. At an early age he moved from his native town to Marlboro, Mass. Here he attended the public schools, and having passed through the grammar grades, entered the High School. He left this institution in eighteen hundred and ninety-five and came to North Adams entering the class of l98 in its freshman year. Through his course at Drury he has been a diligent student, showing especial aptness in mathematics. His conduct is never other than scholarly C?j and his attitude toward teachers and students alike, is that of a friend. Although quiet and somewhat reserved he has a good deal of school spirit and can be depended upon to show it even if it involves doing a little work. Bertie has made many friends since his arrival in North Adams, especially among the gentler sex. Edward Francis I-Iourahan EDWARD FRANCIS HOURAHAN, commonly called Ed is a native of North Adams. Is a great lover of beautiful scenery and often walks into the country to feast his eyes upon the magnificent beauty of the hills. Last winter he went with a party to Greylock but did not feel recompensed for the long tedious tramp and does not intend to repeat the ex- periment unless there is a larger crowd, thus improving the spirits of the company. Moreover he prefers the scenery upon 26 Church street, especially since the Normal School has been erected and indeed spends no little time studying the architecture of the building. It is his intention to enter Williams in the fall and then he will take a special course in Italian and all of his energies seem to be spent in anticipation of his future course. Marion Ketchum ff -' MARION is another one of those quiet girls of '98 who apply themselves so earnestly to work and show such line results. She has been a member of the class ever since its earlier days in the grammar grades and has a large number of friends. Mathematics has been one of her best studies and her success in the languages has caused the envy but yet the warranted praise of her class-mates. After graduating she will probably take a year at the Normal School for recreation and then enter Smith College, where she will confirm Drury's reputation by her excellent work. Mary Gertrude Larkin MAE is a light-hearted, cheerful little maiden, who does not take life too seriously. She has a remarkably sweet voice with which she has often charmed the members of Drury as well as others. During her first years at Drury she had a great habit of writing notes, but she has more or less broken away from that failing. She has the proud distinction of being the smallest member of the class and she carries the honor well. French seems to be her favorite study but she has a great habit of forgetting, mislaying or losing her book. English, at least the topic of letter Writing, also interests her for she seems to practice that branch at every opportunity. She is always ready to assist one when he accidentally forgets his lesson-that is-. She has taken part in all the musical programs of the school and has decidedly shown her ability in that direction. Everton Jay Lawrence ll UMBO joined our ranks last fall hailing from Ohio where, to judge from his appearance, wheat, beef, pork and other nutritious foods are plentiful. Although a stranger he soon became popular as a football player, scholar and as a 27 possessor ofa rare tenor voice. As a ball twirler he possesses all the qualities which go to make a good pitcher and we may expect to hear from him later as he expects to enter VVilliams in the fall with his churn Bill. In all religious work Lawrence has taken a deep interest and is also a regular member of the Congregational choir. He proved his ability as a speaker by securing a prize at the last Kappa Phi Alpha prize contest. We are proud to have such aa all-round good fellow in our class and he has the hearty good will of the class whatever his future may be. ' Ethel Florence Lee ETHEL is a sweet little girl whose modest, quiet ways have completely won the hearts of classmates and teachers alike. Per- haps no other in '98 has attained better success in all the branches of instruction throughout the four years' course than Ethel, and A's are as common to her as D's are to most of us. She is one of the most systematic girls in her class and always has entered enthusiastically into all that has pertained to the interest and well-being of '98. Ethel intends entering the Normal School, to continue in the line in which she has shown such decided talent. Minnie Marion Litchfield MINNIE MARION LITCHFIELD, one of Miss McDuffee's special favorites, besides being very popular at Drury can boast of a great many friends in Pittsfield and Troy where she frequently visits. QFD She is a very vivacious young lady and with her rosy checks and sparkling blue eyes possesses attractions which are hard to withstand. Marion intends to fin- ish her education at the Normal School, where undoubtedly she will make a great Himpressionu on account of her liveliness and love of fun. ' Grace Agnes McDougall GRACE AGNES MCDOUGALL entered High School with the class of '98 in Sept.'94 and had the honor of being saluta- torian at the graduation from the grammar school. She has pursued the classical course during the whole four years and 28 will graduate with good standing. Greek has been her favorite L?J study and she has shown much irzlwzi in that direc tion. She has been a great worker but still ' ' ' , is so Jolly and full of fun that her friends are numerous. She expects to enter Smith next year and will probably continue the classical course there. Katherine Agnes Maloney ATHERINE AGNES MALONEY is corn 1 mon y known as Kate by her classmates. No one has ever suspected our Kate of being a grind, but allhough she certainly is not guilt of th' ' y is atrocious crime, her life at all events has not one t Waist Many are the thrillin advent h g o . g ures t rough which Katherine has passed, and she can boast of anything, from falling head first down the fire-escapes to gracefully recliui ' th ng in e waste-basket, and being rescued by one of her greatest and most ardent admirers. She is usually even-tempered and good-hearted and f th , or ese reasons is universally popular in her class where her unfail- ing wit and good nature have done much for her Kate has not et decid d . y e as to her future career but whatever it may be, her friends join in Wishing her all success. Charles Henry 1VIcGurk Drury had a little lamb, Who duty ne'er did shirkg Forgive me if I mention Ham, The pet name of McGnrk. Verse 98. HE import of this stanza is quite evident connecting as it does that inexpressibly affectionate and grotesquely humorous nickname Ham with the person of our small man McGurk. It is pr1'11zajQZz'z'6' a very apt and strikingly suggestive ap- pellation for the word itself bears the same proportion to any other Word as the butt himself bears to any other man. And again making the anagram mah it is doubly appropriate. We wonder if Harry could expatiate on Yirgil's li11e I'rz1'1'1111a ez' 11ZItfllbl'Z6 semper fe71zz'1za. His checkered experiences would at 1 ' ' ' east suggest a beginning. Once in a while H8IIl'S 29 knowledge of Latin composition is acceptable but quite as often it is rocky-he lives on Cliff street. His agreeable nature and aptitude to jolly have rendered Harry a prime favorite with the girls. You could never approach Ham for informa- tion on the result of any particular football or baseball game without becoming aware of its being a tie. Cutting and Co. seem to be well patronized by our up-to-date friend. Ham's future after graduating is as yet an unsettled matter. He has at any rate the best wishes of the class attending him on his embarkation. Harrison Stephen Millard To speak of Doc with his countless sobriquets would be tantamount to giving a resume of the Spanish-American diploma- tic negotiations with the balance of interest however in the former. Zip was born and reared in town always showing a sedate but marked concern in its affairs. His sober half-suppressed laugh with its nasal accompaniment has long been pro- verbial and his open-hearted geniality admits of considerable brusqueness before administering any just rebuke. The story goes that Harry is very fond of eggs especially when they have a whole yolk fHolyoke,l but we can no more credit this hear- say than the whisperings of his fascination for the Wizard.'l His movements were enough to baffle a board of strategists of the Mahan type until our smart tooter hit upon the conjecture of female magnetism which readily dissipated the cloud of mystery so long beaten upon by the rays of inquisitiveness. His aspirations have brought him many times before the public but his work in the field has been noticeably intermittent, He is a member of the Drury Glee Club and Kappa Phi Alpha society. A long life and prosperous career to Harrison Stephen Millard. Agnes Eugenia Miner AGNES EUGENIA MINER is a member of '98 upon whom much love of the class is lavished not only for her own personal attractiveness but also for the memory of her much beloved father whom Drury will ever remember with gratitude for his years of untiring devotion to it. She is better known as A-go-nies and is a most popular and charming young lady which is acknowledged by her friends at Williams where her brother Howard represents Drury so ably. Her talent lies in the direction of science and many of the difficult problems of the laboratory have been carefully interpreted by her. 30 I 1 J5' . ,,f-' Mm-. 1 , X LL s V, -x Q 1 1, g ,L 411 , r xi, . -fn ,w fx. ,, 5 ze- il J ', f x.- '.Erff.'. -. - s-- A ' '.,l,1.a,,g .. , x.,, x .9 G.. -.gun 41 M ,X ., .sp Q 1 x.-1 X N.: v N 1 43.2 ffm-3 , .5 U JY .rx Q1, .

It is a well known saying that still water runs deep and such is the case in Bessie's school career. She has a record to be proud of and excels especially in the languages. She has shown great literary talent this last year which before had been latent and won the second prize at the Kappa Phi Alpha contest. She has been chosen one of the prophetesses of the class and we expect to hear at our class supper in regard to our future both wit and grczzfify as is best suited to the individual. She will attend Smith College next year to continue in the work which she lovest?j Minnie O' Brien MINNIE is our tall, stately classmate who wended her way through the grades until by perseverance and good nature she found herself within the sacred precinct of the High School. She is very industrious and does not believe in wasting precious moments but when her lessons are learned then she enters the social whirl with great zeal. She is very popular with her classmates and makes friends wherever she goes. In Chemistry she was ever on the alert for any accidents and took good care that she was not near when the crisis came. Although she is fond of all her studies still she seems to favor French particularly and is especially fluent when the conversational part of the lesson is in progress. Minnie intends to finish her education with a course at Kenwood Seminary, in Albany. Ethel Julia Parkhurst ETHEL JULIA PARKHURST entered Drury High School in the fall of '9.1.. As is the usual way, everyone likes to make a good impression on nrst appearance, consequently Ethel's first year in Drury was characterized by her faithfulness to her studies. Ethel being a very jolly, good natured, genial girl, could not be kept in restraint any great length of time, so Sophomore year her happy spirit got the better of her quiet one and she not only amused herself by teasing the boys, but afforded great amusement for her classmates. junior year Ethel was the same jolly, good-natured girl, but her jokes came 33 to a climax when Ethel became a Senior. This year she has been the same studious girl, that she was when sl1e entered in the fall of '94. Ethel knew how to use a pair of weak eyes to good advantage with her instructors. Mae McElWain Rice MAE MCELWAIN RICE is one of those quiet, attractive girls whose presence is everywhere wanted and certainly needed. Were it not for Mae the reputation of some of her classmates would have been wrecked long ago and the Class of '98 disgraced forever. She does not lack fun however and when under the influence of her two churns she is the gayest girl imaginable. Her ability in Mathematics is quite wonderful and surpasses all other girls. She is a great worker and any amount of persuasion will hardly induce her to leave her books. XVellesley College is her ambition and we know Drury's reputation will be brought to such a high standard that it can never be lowered. May is such an aifectionate, loving girl, one cannothelp but wonder if with all her friends she willgraduate heart-whole. Mary Magdalen Ryan MARY MAGDALEN RYAN, or Mollie as she is called by her classmates, has the distinction of being the quietest girl in the class. Yes, Mollie is quiet in the school room but Oh, at intermission! and outside of school! YVe think she ranks among the noisiest. Mollie is a favorite with her classmates and she is also well liked by her teachers. She devotes all of her time to her schoolwork and is so very fond of it that she dislikes the idea of graduating. From now on until june, Mollie intends taking an afternoon Course. Her favorite studies are Latin and French. Mollie stars'l in Latin and is a very proficient French conversationalist. Mollie intends entering Smith's College next fall. Maude Agnes Schouler MAUDE AGNES SCHOULER, better known among her friends as Tot is a cute and attractive girl but so quiet and al- ways wears such a Hpiousl' expression on her face that no one would ever guess of the fun which lurks beneath her 34 calm exterior. This fact often deludes the teachers and brings down vengeance on the innocent OJ heads of her friends. NVith all of Tot's good qualities, which, by the way, are very numerous, one thing is certain and that is that though firm of purpose, the young lady is not steady on her feet and often finds it utterly impossible to keep her equilibrium while walking across the floor during recitation hour. She thinks quite seriously after leaving Drury of selling life preservers at a low price, on the Banks of the NVabash, but whatever be her life work, Tot will make a great many friends for to know her is to love her. Sarah Smith SADIE, for thus she is known, has been our classmate through our four long years in the High School. During her course at Drury, Chemistry seems to have been the branch which most attracted her, and she had a great faculty for warding off explosions and breaking test tubes She particularly likes to gather the trailing arbutus 011 Saturday afternoons. In English as well as the other languages the construction of How wordsu seems to puzzle her to a certain extent, but she is a wise young lady and does not allow triiles to trouble her. She is fond of a good timel' and is ever ready to concoct plans and schemes for holidays. She has always shown a great taste for music and has delighted the pupils of the High School with her performance on the piano-forte and has had charge of the Friday morning musical programs. She is studious yet not too much so, and takes good care not to over-tax herself. She is very popular with her class- mates and has held a good standing in her class. She intends continuing her studies in music on the church organ. Percy Franklin Spencer UPI? is one of the quietest of our number but is nevertheless quite a boy, is a thoroughly good fellow and well liked. His record as a scholar is well worthy of praise. He has made a specialty of languages. Is not supposed to have any at- tractions among the fair sex, still some of us know that there are a few whose influence is not wholly lost. As to his future we are unable to tell, but his ambition is to enter Williams this fall with his ambitious brother and jumbo, And de rest of de gang, See ? Pip, as has been stated, is a very quiet boy but has a 62.000,-7'Z'L'll laugh. 35 William Leander Spencer p W 11 BILL is acknowledged by all of us as being one of the first in his class. He proved his ability as an orator by securing first prize at the Kappa Phi Alpha speaking contest a year ago. As an athlete he has played on the football team for the last two years. An excellent musician and a possessor of a good UD brzssa jbroflmdo. We are proud that we have a minister's son among us and we have felt his good influence Cnitj since he joined us in our sophomore year. Some say Bill takes no interest in females but for all his innocent looks you can't always sometimes tell. It is his intention to enter XVil1ia1ns College next fall and take the place by storm-You know of course he plays a cornet. Caroline Mae Sperry CAROLINE MAE SPERRY is one of the most original and enthusiastic members of '98. She has always shown a great deal of class spirit and being a very popular girl has served on a number of committees. She has shown considerable talent in the literary line, having acquitted herself with much honor at the last prize speaking contest, but throughout the whole course her tendency has leaned towards Mathematics, especially Algebra. Once in a great while Carrie is seen sprinting up Drury Hill just as the Dr. is pressing the last signal. This is a standing joke and never fails to please. Carrie is not considered sentimental as a rule, but I have often seen her gazing out the draw- ing room window for hours at a time wrapped in the blissfulness of her own thoughts. It is Carrie's intention to attend Vassar next year and in going she carries with her the best wishes of the whole class. Joseph Henry Udell OSEPH HENRY UDELL, silent, pensive joe, as he is familiarly called, exemplifies the saying which is often applicable, the less a man has to say the more time he has to think, but the practiced converse of which the more a man has to say the less time he has to think,'l isinlinitely more trite among the under-classrnen. joe, nevertheless, is by no means a bookworm. He is fast becoming a social light and the Parish House is doing much towards making him our Ward McAl- 36 lister. They say he is coy, bashful, and reserved, but it is only necessary to see the grace and ease with which he joins in the merry dance to be undeceived. joe's mark on the atheletic field has merely been traced in sand but as a sprinter he can show his heels to a good many. He is a practiced violinist but has 11ot yet arrived at the Paganini stage. He is a member of the Drury Glee Club and his favorite song is t'Old Black Joe. A seemingly contented, easy going, inoffensive chap, he never Htl1L1l1dSI'SH without good reason and then it is only a passing shower. His prospective alma wafer is yet in the balance, Edith Maria Underwood DITH, a slender miss of '98, although not averse to studying, still does n lt think it proper to apply one's self too closely to one's books. She is very interested in all that happens in the suburbs of our city and also of a larger metrop- olis. Chemistry has great attractions for her Qnitj, and especially the subject of making matches and the method of using them. She takes as much interest in the lower classes of the High School as in the upper ones. At one time she was quite fond of hair-dressing, but after a vain endeavor during one study period she seems to have given it up. She is very observant and sees a great many things others do not. Perseverance is also one of her characteristics, especially used in her relations with her classmates. Yet she is always kind and considerate and at present contemplates be- coming a loving minister to suifering mankind, first fitting herself for this noble oflice by a course in the House of Mercy at Pittsfield. Mae Frances Veazie MAE FRANCES VEAZIE is a very popular member of '98 and on account of her quiet, unassuming ways and gentle man- ners has won many friends outside of North Adams. She is really the only grind the class can boast of and some assert that she is to be found almost any morning at seven o'clock poring over her books. Outside of school Mae is noted for frequenting Wa1'a s studio, where she poses as Merode and other famous actresses. She is as yet undecided whether she will go on the stage or join some missionary force which will penetrate the wilds of Africa. 37 Frederic Bryant Warren FREDERIC BRYANT WARREN, otherwise known as Ted, has always taken a great interest in athletics, having played on school football and baseball teams since entering in '94, He has also captained both teams and has proved himself one of the best all-round athletes Drury has ever had. He is another of the most popular fellows in his class. XVas as guileless as a dove whe11 he first struck Drury, but his intimacy with the fairer sex during the Prep year changed him so that before that delightful year was over he was known to all of the frequenters of the hillf' Would just as soon study when there wasn't anything else to do, but even then he would prefer to call upon fairer ones. XVe do not know that he has any favorite study, but judging from the manner in which he divides up his study hours we are inclined to believe that he is a little partial toward Mathematics, although he has been known to say I am opposed to none but not in favor of any. Has an overwhelming appetite, eating it is said four and tive meals a day. It is needless to state that Rive forms the largest share of his rations. Ella Louise Washburn ELLA LOUISE WASHBURN is the most proper young lady in the Class of '98, Her dignity and self-composure ar unequaled and she possesses the remarkable record of never having once lost her temper during her course at Drury, no matter what the provocation. Ella is naturally bright in all her studies, but in spelling she excels, receiving several times the prodigious mark of thirty-eight. Besides all this she is a firm supporter of Sunday Schools, childrenls meetings and impromptu dances, and being a Sunday School teacher, she never wearies of impressing on the minds of her pupils the lesson of the Flood. It is yet uncertain what course she will pursue after graduation, but one thing is certain, Whatever vc cation Ella adopts, she will be a success, on account of her will or determination. 38 v Bessie Maude Watson THIS maiden who for convenience is called Bessl' by her friends is another of '98's quiet members. She is an earnest stu- dent and a deep thinkerf?j. Her work interests her and she spends the greater part of her time reading standard books. When her studies permit she is fond of taking long strolls seeking out nature's beauties and learning to know them. She is very popular with her friends and having sustained a high standing during her course at Drury she will leave after her a record of which to be proud. She has not yet decided as to whether she will continue her studies or not, but success is sure to greet her in whatever she undertakes. Mary Grace Wells GRACE is a gentle, modest young lady who has been with us during our whole course in the High School. In elocution she was interested and especially in the calisthenics which were given in connection wilhit. She is fond of taking long strolls and prefers out-door life to the confinement of the school room. She does not seem to favor any one branch of study but takes them all as a matter of course. She is very quiet and obediently observes the rules and regulations laid down by the school. Nevertheless she has her own spark of humor and shows it at the proper time, thus making herself very well liked by her classmates and all with whom she comes in contact. She is very fond of driving except when in a line with the electric track and then she would prefer to walk. Although rather petite still the influence of her presence is always felt. She has taken part in the school chorus in its appearances before the public. Essie Josephine Whipple ESSIE IOSEPHINE VVHIPPLE, when she entered the High School, saw the great advantages to be had in taking the Scientific course, especially in her desired line of work. Essie has throughout her whole course been of a very stu- dious and retiring natureg has sacrificed many social duties for the sake of her scholarship. Chemistry has always been her strongest point for as one person said she seemed to eat it and always received the highest mark possible on her monthly impromptus. After leaving Drury Essie intends to enter the North Adams Training School for Nurses and will spend her life in caring for the weak and affiicted. No doubt many of our class will in the near future be under her charge. 39 Life at Drury -609- HROUGH the clear air blowing down our narrow valley pierce the sharp, commanding tones of an old, time-worn bell. How familiar is that sound to many a resident within North Adams' precincts, but how much more familiar is it to the pupils whom it summons at such an early hour from cosy nooks to labor or to while away the hours in pastime within Old Drury's walls. The regular school day at Drury opens with devotionals in the two main rooms, when she battered, brown, sliding door is thrown back and the Doctor takes his stand facing the rooms. Then at tl1e ringing of signals a clattering is heard on the stairs, the balustrades creak as some freshman unceremoniously slides down the smooth railing, and then in march the two lower classes, to sit anywhere and everywhere there is half a seat vacant. Silence reigns supreme for ten or fifteen minutes, during which the principal reads or gives us a few wise hints on the manliness or womanliness that should be upheld to make our school a model one, or as he cautions us against the dangerous snowball or wholesale slaughter of small children passing from the grammar and primary school to which we are so pleasantly annexed. Thereupon the first of the six periods is begun. The various classes are scattered about in the different rooms, from the airy Greek room in the attic, with its comfortable arm-chairs, to the commoclious laboratory on the first floor, where the desks and chairs are in such close proximity that the pupil rushing for his seat before that fatal second signal is in imminent danger of injury to knees and elbows. The periods follow each other with the five minute recesses between them for conversation. Indeed it would 40 seem to tl1e mere observer that matters of life and death were being settled in those brief intervals, for tists come slamming down on desk lids, both boys and girls rush around the rooms, up and down aisles, while only one or two industrious students sit calmly in their places with their books before them. The clock has now turned to quarter after eleven and the signals for the intermission of fifteen minutes have rung. In less time than it takes to tell it the school rooms are bare, with the exception of a few groups greedily devouring sandwiches and cake. Our Main Street has become ahrestaurant and fortunate are those merchants who have doughnuts, cookies, or even pics for sale. Many a time in the past, when that much fre- quented bakery occupied a prominent site on the street, has the shocked, dainty lady seen mince, pumpkin or apple pies jammed indiscriminately into her son's pocket, with disastrous results to his apparel, but suiting his appetite all the better. Generally there are a few delinquents who have stopped to toss a ball in the school yard or loitered to talk with a friend on the corner. These rarely escape the Doctor's watchful eye and invariably wish they hapl left that ball uncaught or their friend unspoken to. After intermission time drags decidedly, for who can sit in a hot school room near a large window and watch the laborers going home to dinner, without wishing to be one of them? These last two hours are the ones when backs are turned to the teacher in charge and our beautiful mountain scenery is most admired from tl1e back seat, or notes pass slyly from one to another, or a monotonous undertone floats down from thc back corner. This is the time when the teacher, in an abused, cool tone remarks: When everyone has amused himself sufliciently we will continue the recitation. At last one o'clock arrives and one grand bolt is made for the door. The wardrobes are the scene of a rush not equalled on a football Held and the stairways are crowded with pupils hastening to get out of the moment- arily hated building. Often a class meeting is announced in huge letters on the blackboard to plan for a concert or a sleighride, which, alas, is rarely agreed upon, or is prevented by the clerk of the weather. 0, the trial it is to get the 4I classes to remain for these meetings and the despair on the countenance of the president when he says: The meeting must be adjourned until we have a quorum present. Afternoons are not all play at Drury, for nearly every day sees a goodly assembly gathered at the building, to all appearances plugging away to make up a condition, for such things are not unknown among us. These afternoon sessions are never omitted except when our baseball or football teams schedule a game near home. Many thanks do we owe them for the leisure hours they have gained for us. Friday is the gala-day in school life. It is on these days that our spirits are uplifted for the day by an hour's singing in the old hall, where even the walls are cracked from the forcible tones that have beaten against them, and our music professor's hair has grown white through anxiety for our musical career. The hall is not always the scene of music alone though. Fortnightly, during the autumn and winter, the two upper classes entertain the rest of the school at their rhetoricals. These are periods of shaking and quaking for the entertainers. How often has a poor fellow walked upon the platform with trembling knees to deliver his oration, or how often has some modest, bashful girl gone through agonies of fear upon that stage. But it is one of the compulsory things at Drury, and so we grin and bear it i11 thc hope of some day -iartling the universe with our powers of oratory. ' Thus life at Drury glides smoothly on until the last Week of each term. This is the week most dreaded of the year, for the pupil who does not obtain the much sought for UAH must be present daily for the Ufinalsf' XVhat a blank or scowling lot of faces one might behold on such a day or what expressions of indignation and despair as a paper is handed in with a na'ne at the top and at the bottom of the blank sheet the familiar declaration : W 'il have neither given nor received aid on this examination, and have seen no dishonesty on the part of others. But happy is the one who has been industrious during the previous weeks for after the examinations his work is finished and he has his time for more enjoyable things. Yet all is not work, examinations and conditions. April first rolls around, as it has since time immemorial, .L2 ushering in with it its vencrahfe jokes. The signals are invariably found stuffed, hooks disappear, to he rc- placed by a nice little test, cards, spelling hooks and records vanish, no one knows where, and the new made doughnuts for our teaeher's luncheon find their Way into the wrong throats, by accident. Indeed, for that day, all must be monuments of patience. Then several times a year the different classes and the athletic association have an unconquerahle desire for money, a thing always lacking at Drury, and a hop is immediately planned. Many a night we have danced until the small hours of the next day dawned, when every lad felt it his duty to take his favorite lass and all made merry for 'fauld acquaintance sake. Such occasions are the brightest in our school year, although we are stepped over as on a battle field and heated to the boiling point. Still another event must not be overlooked, namely our annual prize speaking contest for the Kappa Phi Alpha prizes. There are always contestants enough for these prizes and it is one of the times when Drury High School does itself credit and people remark on the advancement in educational systems. But the grandest and last event in this line is graduation itself, when the white rohed graduating class sits upon the platform and says farewell forever to Drury's walls. May there be few classes who must bid them a fond adieu for we want ft new building a buildinv where a ' 4 D7 a the ventilation does not cause one to freeze at one 111oment and melt at the next, or that does not furnish seats enough hut that a fourth of the senior class must be banished, to sit in icy halls all winter and to come hack to seats in a lower classmen s room in the lovely spring. Under such cireumstarices we are not all sorry to finish our life at Drury. 45 ,I ,Of fn, W President , F if W QW, william o'HQra 'ff f ' , I WW Vice-President Vernon E. Hastings Dwight A.

Either a comparison of the present teams with those of other schools, or alike com- parison with those of the past. The latter being the better, and otfering a greater opportunity for correct handling, we will begin with the year 1894 and follow in a general way the development and progress of athletics at Drury. To give the reader a proper introduction and one unbiased by individual opinions I offer the preamble of the constitution of the D. A. A. 4 ' P1cr:AM1sI.E 'tlVe, the boys of Drury High School at Narth Ailains, thoroughly believing that out-of-door s Jorts if r'ffl tl A gg 1 W 1 , igi y managed, must have upon us, both as individuals and as a school, a truly wholesome, invigorating and 1. . up lftlllg influence, whereas, if badly managed or not managed at all, the same sports might produce ctfects at once distracting and deinoralizinow have deemed it n t I O, 0 on y expedient but essential to provide for the adequate management of such sports by an athletic association, of which the following shall be the constitutionf' Now, before turning to t11 . f' 1 prominent articles by which the school association is actually governed. e active side of this subject let us pick out ce nttin ' 49 Au'ric1,E 11.-oeJr:c'r The object of this association shall be to strengthen the athletic spirit of the school and cultivate the athletic talent of individual members, particularly by engaging each year in a series of interscholastic baseball and football contests and at least a local meet for track athleticsf' The oiiicers are the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, manager and directors, each embodied with the usual power. With these oflicers rests the entire responsibility of affairs as we are in no wise under faculty rule with theexception of some few measures to be spoken of later. The membership of the association consists of students of all four classes of the school and a few alumni and teachers numbering about 80 in all. This shows an increase in membership of nearly 40 since 1892. The purpose expressed in the preamble has been faithfully regarded, and the association has proved itself capable and worthy of a large place in the school's history. Its presence is felt throughout the city as well as tl1e school by placing the name of H Old Drury among the foremost in social events as well as athletics. I should enjoy giving you a full account of our dances, concerts and meetings, and a fuller account of our trips, games and anecdotes running back in the history of the school as far as memory can reach, but let us begin nearer the present and follow the association through the last four years. During the fall of 1894 and the spring of 1895 a league was founded composed of Adams, Williamstown and Drury High Schools undcr the name of the Northern Berkshire Triangular Athletic Association. The constitution of this league was modeled after that of the collegiate league of which Williams College is a mem- ber. The managing board consisted of the president, manager, and one other member from each school, the president of the league being elected from the delegation representing the victorious school of the previous year. Two pennants were offered yearly, one for the winning of a series of baseball games and the other for track athletics. For two years this league was successful and doubly so because of the enthusiasm caused by so distinct a rivalry and the bringing to light of new athletic material before hidden. However in 1896 it dis- banded because of the graduating of the leading lights of the Adams and Williamstown schools. 50 The oiiicial scores of the ball games were not preserved but the names of the contestants in the athletic meets may be found in the table at the end of this article written in the order of finishing. Here is the result of the contests for two years : 1895-Baseball, iVilliamstown first, Adams and Drury tied. 1895-Athletic Meet, Drury first, Williamstown second, Adams third. 1896-Baseball, Drury first, iVilliamstown second, Adams third. 1896-Athletic Meet, Drury first, W'illiamstown second, Adams tdefaultedj. On February 126, 1896, a motion was brought before a special meeting of the D. A. A., and carried, putting the power of management in.the hands of three persons instead of one. This managing board was made up of the manager, a member of the faculty, and the assistant manager, the manager to be elected from the senior class and his assistant from the class next in order becoming man- ager in his senior year. This system necessitates only the election of an assistant each year. The scheme has proved most successful and universally satisfactory. Not only has the managing been conducted more systematically and upon a firmer financial basis but a better system of coaching and a fairer method of selecting teams has been established. In the same year was introduced a measure of great importance to the athletic life of the school. During the fall of this year the principals of all the leading high schools in this part of our state met at Springfield and there organized an association known as the Headmasters' League of iVestern Massa- chusetts, its object being to establish a more uniform state of affairs in the numerous schools and to discuss various methods of school government. At one of their meetings a measure was carried to the effect that only men of good standing in their regular studies should be considered as eligible to positions on the school teams, and that the minimum course of study should consist of ten hours a week. This measure would have affected the members of our teams but little had not our principal insisted upon a revision of the rule compelling each player at Drury to be up in the regular course assigned him at the first of each year. This calls for about twice the number of hours required in the originalmeasure. It is needless to say that this measure has been 51 enforced and has to a certain extent the approval of the association. In no Way concerning this matter are the faculty and the majority of the fellows held in hostile relations. The measure has been subject to much criticism and opposition on the part of many who question its justice and advisability. Its merits or faults, such as they may be, we leave entirely to our readers. During the present year, 1898, a basketball team was formed and has come into prominence in the school, taking to a certain extent the place of the old track team. Drury applied for admittance to the basketball league recently formed among the larger societies of the city such as the Odd Fellows, K. of P., Y. M. C. A., and S. of V. We experienced some flitliculty in gaining admittance to this association because of certain re- ports circulated among the outside organizations, supposed to have their origin in the school. This trouble was successfully and creditably overcome, and Drury, the old t'Blue and White Went into the league surrounded by the best of feeling. Drury defeated every team with one exception, and as that team withdrew from the league before playing the entire schedule we may claim, and rightly so, to be equal to the best. This brings us to the present date. Owing to the ineligibility under the present restriction of many of the men of last year's baseball team, combined with an apparent lack of interest in athletic matters this season, the manager has been directed to cancel all dates, and the treasurer to pay all bills incurred. This is the first and only time in the history of the last four years of the school that Drury has failed to put a team in the field. Let us hope that this loss of enthusiasm is but a passing cloud and that behind it still shines brightly the spirit of the past. The old bell on the school must not remain silent but again and forever let it ring out a welcome to the returning teams. No one could give us a better example of school spirit than have our teachers who serve under the D. A. A. In Mr. Memmott, Mr. Dunham and Mr. Rielnnond we have as ardent supporters and as devoted members of the School onthe Hill as ever were the most entlmsiastic of Drury men. Through their coaching, counsel and faithful service they have done much toward placing ours among the foremost of high school teams. May this article show our appreciation of their eltorts, and though it is all we can here offermay they feel that little from each one. 52 Qs.. FOOTBALL TEAM W ,b .

K... .T-YIDKIILHSHWSKT We thank the merchants for their contributions, the alumni for tl1eir support and the neighborhood of Drury for its patience, for they well deserve our thanks. And now in conclusion let us remember that athletics, while not the first thing to be sought in school life have their place and that place is a broad one. Nowhere is true manliness and thorough good breeding better shown than on the battle fields where the young athlete has fought either to victory or defeat. We, of the amateur side, are made to answer too often for the vulgarity shown in professional contest. Let ns keep our sports clean and our spirit to win fair, that through our characters may the character of Old Drury remain unchanged. In collecting athletic statistics and in dividing it according to dates, I have neglected all individual records or services as I consider myself incompetent to pass judgment upon the more prominent of the several athletic departments. Let the deserving be content with the plaudits of the past and our remembranees of their deeds always kept vivid. I have endeavored to give in the following table a correct list of the Drury Athletic Association managers and captains of the several teams and the players with their positions beginning with the football season ot' 189-L and ending with May, 1898.
