. 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

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

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
