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

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

' 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.
