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

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

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
