CLASS BOOK OLASS 1905 DRURY HIGH SCHOOL NORTH ADAMS, MASS. WE RESPECTFULLY AND GRATEFULLY DEDICATE THIS WORK TO HERBERT I-IUME GADSBY, Ph. D. OUR INSTRUCTOR, OUR COUNSELOR AND OUR FRIEND if HERBERT HUME GADSBY, Ph. D INTRODUCTION For the last few years it has been the custom of the Academe Association to issue a special number of its paper devoted to the graduating class. This year it was thought advisable to try a new plan that the Seniors should publish a class book which might belong more particularly to them. While we speak of this as new, it is not entirely so, as the class of 1898 published a similar book and it is the custom in nearly all colleges to do this on a more or less elaborate scale. Whether we have made a success of the undertaking rnust be decided by those who read these pagesg we cnonly say that we have labored under many adverse circumstances and hope that our production will meet with just consideration and criticism.

CELIA ANNA ANDREWS-Whenever any fun is to be enjoyed we can always rely upon Celia as a companion. Was she not one of the ring-leaders among the girls at the time of our World-famed strike? Last year when We were in the Lab, Celia was ever ready for all the fun goingg and, too, she played a most important part in the excitement of the Junior year when the turpentine caught tire. During her whole high- school course she has been a most faithful attendant at all the hops, and was chosen vice-president of the class Senior year. Geliahexpects to enter the Normal School this autumn, and our best Wishes go with her. AIMEE MA YNARD BLANCHARD -When Aimee comes into the class-room in the morning, who of us does not envy her the rosy cheeks? She has ranked among the lirst for scholarship during four long years, and has always been willing to lend a helping hand to any one helplessly Iioundering about in the mys- teries of' 'math. What Aimee cannot do is an unheard of accomplishment. She showed her ability as a speaker at the last Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking contest, where she made us all proud of her by taking first prize. She was chosen by the faculty to speak at graduation, and by the class as their poet. Aimee intends to finish upl' at the Normal School, where we Wish her the greatest success. V BERNARD BOLAND, GBA GJ, HD. --Burr, the subject of many Dru's and more school notes, still survives. Appreciating the advantages of a lib- eral education and the honor of graduating with the class of 1905, he pur- posely neglected his studies last year that he might enjoy that honor. That he was gladly received by us Was shown by the tact that he was elected to the position of class secretary, Jones' right hand man. ' In the farces he displayed his dramatic ability as the Butler, to which role his far-famed sccwl was particularly adapted. He made his D a year ago as basket- to the adventures of this celebrated horse- I man, inquire of the Judgels fair daughter. Next year he expects to enter Cornell. EDWARD MARTIN BOLAND, Q A CD, D. -Pat has distinguished himself infboth football and basketball. In the former he played tackle for three seasons, being captain of last fall's team. He played guard in basketball and it was only through his phenominal basket that the team was enabled to boast of the championship of Berkshire county. He has gained some- thing ot a reputation as a pugilist, which is used to good advantage when occasion requires. Ed has always been a loyal supporter of the Drury teams in every branch, and his loss will certainly be felt next year. ball manager. For further particulars as I JENNIE ARNOLD BOND-Jennie, for Jane, when she isn't aroundj, is looked upon by her classmates as a queen among brunettes. When the Box of Monkeys was presented, Jennie, as Guinivere, por- trayed the character of an English girl to such advantage as to conquera certain young man of renown. She proved so captivating, in fact, that he--well, never mind the rest. She was honorably mentioned for prize- speaking and was unanimously chosen class prophet. She has been one of the best contributors to the Academe. where she has gained much repu- tation as a Dru writer. Jennie is going to attend a boarding school, where she will continue to make friends as heretofore. LAURA ELLEN BRAYTON- Laura came from Hartford, N. Y., to join us during our sophomore year, to be welcomed by all, and one in particu- lar. From that time she has been one of the most popular girls of the class. Last year Laurie furnished us much enjoyment when she ren- dered, with greatest elocutionary powers imaginable The Raggety, Rag- ety Man, at rhetoricals, and as Higgs in the Bunch of Roses she made a great hit. She has served on various committees, and was chosen by the class to speak at graduation. After finishing her course at Drury she is intending to study music. , lf, 'lu Nl ill! Ml 1 4 GORDON BUSFIELD-Huz suddenly entered our sphere of ac- tion when we were Juniors. He brought with him a vast store of ideas about how things are done in Utica, and with him came a shock of hair rivaled only by the crop Schculer used to exhibit in the good old days. Gordon vvas a boon to the school note editors and many pencils have been Worn down in recording his doins.,' Buz is a great talker and a lion among ladies. York State no longer has charms for him and all in all he is a Fuller man that before he cast his lot with '05. He had a part in the farces and carried himself Well,-was also secretary of the Academe Ass'n. Next year he expects to grace Hamilton with his presence. ALANSON B E D F O R D CADY, . K 111 A, D. '-Dud, the ladies' man, card shark, pool shark, chemistry shark, and show fiend. His motto has been never do today what can be put off until tomorrow, and it certainly seems to Work Well in his case. Although athletics have not been his fort, he made his D in football last fall. One of his greatest joys has been to sit in the 'front row at the vaudeville, and from that place of van- tage smile sweetly at the fair maidens of the stage. Dud believes that the whole World is before him, and he is consequently in no hurry to choose a vocation. NELLIE MARION CARTER--Tlie fame of Nellie, as the finest alto in the class, is widespread. Then too, this last year her fingers have been fairly flown over the keys in the rendition of our most diflicult songs. To the eyes of her fellow students, as well as to the underclassmen, she has proved herself a wonder both in vocal torture and as Miss MoNulty's assistant. Nell has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of all athletic sports, both winter and summer, and was to be relied upon by the fellows and girls of the respective teams. In the Bunch of Roses she very successfully figured as Hilda, the only, only, in the eyes .of Pink and Buz. Nellie is to show her kind and charitable disposition by entering upon some work as an assistant in an orphan is home. GEORGE BANGROFT oaase, K KID A, HD. -George has been one of the most popular fellows in the class, and to enumerate his many honors would be tire- some. Suflioe it to say that, although he is -1 modest child he has been one of the leading lights in the social life of Drury, business manager of the Academe for two years, and has come out for all athletics, earning his ' 'DH in both football and track. In the farces he played an important part in a very pleasing manner. For e while after he entered high school George roamed around conquering female hearts by the score, but of a sudden he ceased his attentions to all but oneg now we believe him settled for life. He expects to enter Cornell, sooner or later, to take agriculture in a mild form, suitable to his gentle disposition. JOHN ANDERSON CHRISTIE, E A X, D, -John came along with the Church street crowd and helped to swell the number of those who clamored to be counted among the members of 1905. He was honored by being allowed to guard the class pennies during his junior year. He was a member of the Academe Assn.. and had a place on the editorial board. John is a thorough student, for which he has received a merited reward by being chosen for scholarship to speak at graduation. At thelasttrack meet he was one of those who had a part in the point winning, towards which he has been Working for several years. He expects to go along with Hob- bie to M. I. T. Where We wish him much success. ALICE BERTHA DALTON-Alice, -ee the shy retiring maid of '05, When a hard example in math. is encountered by any were one to look in at the door of the senior room in the morning he could see Alice explaining the difficult parts to a crowd of us. When we have linished thanking her with the greatest praise. Alice is not anywhere around, for she has modestly re- tired behind her desk cover to get some book. She has not fully decided upon her future course, but Whatever she undertakes, we may rest as- sured she Will continue to bring honor upon old Drury. of us, Alice is sure to have itg CHRISTINE FOSTER EGAN--Though one would never think it from her quiet and unassuming manners we are sure that Christine is blessed with considerable talent in the musical and artistic lines. It is in these subjects that she has been an especial star, bringing credit to the class, while in her other studies, likewise, she has always stood well. Of late she has been subject to frequent attacks of the giggles, usually ac- counted for by the merry presence of Sue. In recognition of her musi- cal ability, Christine is to have a solo at graduation. As her future course is not yet decided upon, we can only wish her the best of success in whatever she un- dertakes. WILLIAM CHESTER EMIGH, K fb A, D, -Bill has always been a jolly fellow, and While seeming to take life easily of good hard work. He has regularly come out for football and track work, in which departments his grit and deter- mination should be an example to the underclasses. Elected a member of the Academe Assn., in Sophomore year, he was school note editor and was finally choseneditor-in-chief in his Junior year. He spoke at the Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking Junior year and received an appointment Senior year. He was elected captain of the track team upon Follett's resigna- tion this spring. He has not yet decided what he will do next year. has found time to get in a pile FRANKLIN PETER FOLLETT, UD. -Peter hiked in with the Freeman bunch and resolved to stick to '05 or die trying. He made the football team Freshman year and has played every season since, being a strong man at tackle. Pete has won points in the W. C. I. A. A. meet and has twice been elected track captain. He was president of the class Junior year,and managed the hop so that the class was no coin outf' Having an inclination towards slang, his conversation would make that Chicago professor's heart glad. He has no use for 'fde swell bunch, and seems to get along very well without them. After graduation he expects to take up electrical engineering. RUTH AUGUSTA HAMBLEN - To all outward appearances a dignified Sen' ior who is worthy ofthe title fprobably due to the fact that she once presided at class 1neeting.j Such she is in the eyes of the awe-stricken freshies, but to those who know her-. Of course we would not injure her reputation, but appearances are sometimes deceptive, and do you re- member that Ruth. too, was once a foX?,' So pray don't be misled by her angelic expression, for she is really one of thejolliest girls in the class, frequently springing her jollies on her unsuspecting victims. Ruth has always been one of our brightest stars, being chosen for her scholarship to speak at graduation, and also elected class historian. Her work on the Ac- ademe as exchange editor and contributor to the Dru has been especially valuable, while the part she took in the farces was proof of her ability in other lines. Next year she will display her brilliancy at Wellesley. ROBERT HENRY HARVIE, E A X-Robert strolled in with the rest of the Freshmen and has not made a much more rapid motion since. His friends tell us that he's a regular vaudeville performance when you get him started, but we pause before that awful effort. To us who have seen him only at school, he seems truly a sad man and a serious,-much given to introspection. The opinion seems to be quite general that he is love-sick, for he seems not to have slept much o' nights. He is said tu have once made the baseball team. He will take the rest cure after graduation. HARRY EUGENE HAYDEN, 2 AX-Plug, he doesn't like to be called Plug. and while rejoicing in tovvsling other people's hair doesn't like it if the deed returns upon the doer, is a person Whose nerves are very much in evidence. He likes to argify and can chew the rag for hours Without clinching an element of proof. Harry 's chief joy in life is to sit down in his senior chair and then have the chair take wings, as those senior room chairs do. His strong point is history and he will doubtless someday be a prof.,' Harry is a violinist of note, and during the next four years expects to Hddle his way through Williams. JOHN REMINGTON HOBBIE, 2 A X-John Remington rushed into our ranks for a short time and then on account of his health disappeared to regions unknown. However, he one day again loomed up on our hori- zon and has been with us ever since. He spoke at the Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking contest junior year and received honorable mention Senior year. John is a math. shark, chemistry shark, and sprouted his fins in physics. He arrives at school early enough to see certain freshmen enter, and loves fresh air to the extent of keeping the vvindovvs open fthough the entreaties of the class freeze in their throats. He expects to study naval architeo- l ture at M. I. T., but it is believed that there are other attractions down Boston way. SAMUEL MANSFIELD JONES, 2 A X-Sammie seems alvvays to have been with us. Way back in the green vista of our freshmanhood he was one of us and one vvit.h us. We didn't see much of him then, but he was around. He began, We believe, with studying the dead language. but now something lively,--like Wilhelm Tell, in the original, -is his chief delight. Sam believes in getting all the good in life and helping others to do the same. Work never troubled Sam. and Whois got their Dutch, with variations, still rings in our ears. He was chosen class president Senior year to the duties of which oflice he has sacrificed much of his time. He had a leading part in the farces, which he inter- preted in a pleasing manner. Next year he will enjoy himself at M. I. T. THOMAS CRICHTON MALCOLM, K LID A D. H--Since Fresh- man year We have been expecting Tom to do something wonderful, and last winter our expectations were justified when he took first prize in Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking, He has come out for basketball, foot- ball, and track, earning his D in basketball' Junior year, and making it goodn this year. Until lately We have believed Tom proof against fem- inine vviles, but in the last year we have had reason to believe that indeed all rnen are motral . He has not decided vvhat he will do next year. ANDREW L. MATTE-Andrew was absorbed by '05 some time in the g Junior year from some place in Canada, A although his home was in this city. He was glad to get back to U. S., f'O5j, and has shown decidedly Ameri- can instincts. He arrives at school every morning just before the signal rings, and no amount of beckoning from the window can induce him to quicken his pace. His pet studies are math., chemistry and electricty. Andrew takes things easily and being a thorough student as Well as small in stature he climbs over or crawls through obstacles in a manner surpris- ing to behold. He Will go to M. I. T. to keep Hobbie in good order, and incidentally to study electrical engineering. FRANK ANDREW MCGURK, KfI1A, D. ---Pink has beenthe light of the class for the four years of our high school existence. and in that period has managed to keep a radiant smile on his countenance the greater part of the time. During his Junior year he made his D in baseball and last Winter made it good in basketball. Whilethe has never lacked time for fun, he has, nevertheless. kept up his studies. He had a part in the farces which he executed very Well. Pink has not yet decided what vocation he will honor, or who he vvill charm with his smile in the future. ALICE KATHERINE MOSHER --Kate is a young lady who has decided opinions other own and never hesitates to say vvhat she thinks. However, she is full of fun, and her good nature is seldom dis- tuibed In tact the only possible Ways of bothering her are to call her Kitty or to mention the Y. M. C. A. In her freshman days Kate was so noted for the astonishing length of her pigtails, that she even received an offer, so they say, to advertise a hair tonic in a drug store Window. But that was the time that Katie didn't. Throughouther course Katherine has been an industrious student, a fact of which the faculty have shown their appreciation by choosing her to speak at graduation. Next year she will join the Normal school contingent. THOMAS JOSEPH MULCARE, HD. -Mul, the leading exponent of the strenuous life, has played an important part in athletics at Drury. During the last two seasons he has played a fast game at left half on the football team, and although he has made his DH in that branch only, he has been a loyal supporter of all athletics. He possesses to a marked de- gree the gift of gab, as we have had ample opportunity to observe in meetings of all kinds. During the last year he has held the position of president of the D. A. A. to the entire satisfaction ofeveryone. In the fall Tom expects to go along with the rest of the gang to M. I. T. - BLANOHE MINNIE NEWMANW Although Blanche is rather a quiet maiden and one with whom we do not feel so well acquainted as we would like, still there is one thing about her of which we are sure. That is that she fully appreciates the ad- vantaoes of Drury and the class of 1905, for has she not braved the ter- rors of the tunnel for four years in order to be one of our number? On account of her fairy-like voice, Blanche sometimes had dithoulty in mak- ing herself heard, but here is a secret which you would never suspeotg on occasions, it is rumored, she easily makes up for this by the effective use of her eyes. Blanche is to be one of our representatives at the Normal, where she will seek further knowledge with which to astonish the natives in the peaceful Deerfield valley, where she dwells. N - :Q ,F V ,-,V,v WILLIAM ARTHUR OTIEARN, E A X, D, -How many pree- ious memories are conjured up by the sound of that name! How long have we beheld that gray hat coming up the lane? Who has more often been written up and quoted by the school note editors? l What precious study periods have we whiled away listening to his harmless prattle? But to return, for We digress,--Goldy-Ambiguous-Amhitions,-call him what you will, he's still the same O'Hearn. O'Hearn the man of joy Cwhen saw you him sad?j with the smile that vvon't rub off. W. A. O'Hearn of .XR has been Drury Reporter for the Trans- cript. and manager ofthe football and base- ball teams. Long may he flourish. CLARA IRENE PARKHURSTH Clara is the girl who is always out for a lark, looking for fun and usually Ending it. Nothing seems to trouble her, not even the fact that she is frequently obliged to come to school without her breakfast. We suspect that Clarats brain works as quickly as her tongue, else how could one who is far from being a grind sail through her course with such apparent ease? We might remark that she is one of the most success- ful in adopting the new style of coifture and could doubtless make her for- tune in a hair-dressing establishment. Next fallLClara:intends to take up kindergarten work at Miss Wheelock's school in Boston, and inlgffuture years how we shall miss that familiar morning greeting' 'Hello, kids. the Jones-O'Hearn Vaudeville Co. Willie r ' .Q- RUTH ISABEL PEAD-The one member of the class who was never known to break a rule or go to the vaudeville. Ruth is trulya won- der as a model of all that is dear to the hearts of the faculty, and were it not for the fact that saints die in infancy, we should consider her chances of the best. Study is her constant joy,-yes, she has even been known to to spend 'gthree solid hours on an English lesson. Fancy! Butlike all conscientious workers, Ruth has her reward in marks of which she might well be proud. So close has been her application to work and so quiet and modest her manner, that we have seldom seen her outside of school. We hope, how- ever, that her four years at Wellesley will open herffeyes to the hitherto unknown joys of occasional frivolity. CHRISTINE MILDRED PHELPS f --Christine will always be known as the girl that pulled the gum. Ever since she was a freshman, she has had a' 'henat her beck and call, tor should we say he's? l. A hop has never passed but Christine has graced it, and committees have often boasted of her presence. When the new style of parting the hair came into vogue, she was the first Senior to follow suit and bravely bore the scorn UQ of the fellows. Chris- tine is noted as the fastest talker in the class, and few would care to enter a contest against her. She has been chosen by the faculty to speak at graduation. She intends to enter Vassar this fall where she expects to have as much fun as she enjoyed in Drury, and we all wish her success. MARGARET CURTIS RICHARDSON--Peg. of the ambrosial lock. Way back in the freshman year, Marge gained the reputation of be- ing the smartest in the class, and now graduates at the head, yet whenever i It any of ns have humbly asked for a little assistance, Margaret was sure she didn't know anything about it. Her ability as a writer has been shown by the fact that she has twice been chosen forthe Kappa Phi Alpha prize gr speaking, and by her many contibutions to the Academe, especially the Dru's, which have been of the first order. In the farces, Margaret, as Mrs. Petlove, will long be remembered, es- pecially her oft-recurring Words Peter! ,Z Peter! Peg is planning to enter Vassar this fall, and we expect to hear great things of her. 1 r .raft .1 1315:--5. .V ..., i f A A - Eff fi ' 4 ,5'ff:p ,- - E .-lsr, f AMANDA LEWIS STEWART-- Amanda has skilfully wended her way through the mysteries of short hand, and many of us envy the way she makes the Words jump out from the type- writer under her skilled touch. But Amanda hasn't spent all of her time studying, -she is 'O5's star basketball player. As guard she has helped us vvin many a game, and her good nature at practice has kept the ball going many times. She set the girls of '05 a good example by being the First to Wear a shirt waist suit this spring. The class has chosen her one ofthe speakers to represent it at graduation, and wishes her the greatest success in whatever she undertakes. mi SUSIE BELLE TEMPLE--If there is any fun going on, Susie is in itg and if a hearty laugh is heard, everyone knows that Sue is near. As Miss Pilkington in the farces, she soberecl down in such a Way that We hardly knew her. Her attractions have been especially recognized by some of the underclassmen. Susie has looked on the brightest side of everything, and has never been known to be blue. It has been her greatest pleasure to see how often she could skip at intermission. She is planning to enter the Normal this fall and keep up Druryls reputa- tion there. HARRY HOBART TOWER, K rib A, HD. --Perhaps Nancy's chief distinc- tion lies in his ability to fiddle and his willingness to help along any good cause. He was manager of the track and basketball teams and was athletic editor of the Academe for a year. Harry, too, stands well with the girls, especially some of the grammar school children whom he delights to honor. Often We find him dreaming with his mind afar off. perhaps somewhere in Connecticut. He thinks that M. I. T. would about suit him if he could suit them in the exams. WILLIAM TRUEMAN TURNER, SACD, IJ -Bill is another fellow who knows a good thing when he sees it, and therefore he decided to join the ranks of 1905. There is but one thing about him which ex- ceeds his advoirdupois,--his good nature. For two years he has been en- deavoring to keep Charlemont posted onithe Hdoinsi' at Drury and we have every reason to believe that he has succeded very well. In football he was a man to be depended upon, while the cutting out of the bicycle race meant Eve points less for Drury when he was with us. Bill will at- tend Worcester Tech, where we are sure he will make many friends. ISABEL VERNARD--Isabel is one of the quietest girls in the class and liked t by all. From her Freshman year she has quietly found her way around the building, in her mild way. For two years she came from Blackinton to brighten Old Drury, and then her great love for us induced her to come over here for good. When ever any of us have received a low mark, Isabel has been the first to encourage us and make us think we ought to have been smart. If she could help anyone, she has always been more than ready. Now she has surprised us all by telling us that she is going to Smith in the fall. FRANCES WALLEY--1-7annie's merry laugh has brightened Drury's halls for four long years. She has probed among the sciences, and has .been one of Mr. Antl1ony's star pupils. In the grammar grades she acquired the reputation of being a living statue in perpetualniotionj' and throughout her course has easily kept up this reputation. Fannie has kept us all guessing as to the new finery she would next appear in. Last winter she tore herself from our presence and went on a pleasure trip to California. This fall Fannie intends to enter the Boston Art School. and we expect her to become a great artist. At 1 LAWRENCE MILLARD WELD. W C9 A KID,-Larry has come from Clarkslour regularly. to pick up a little knowledge of shorthand and typewriting. He has applied himself diligently to his work, and is now graduating with ease. - He evidently likes the Erst part of his name if not the last, as evinced by his attentions to a certain fair maiden. Perhaps it is owing to the stress of other duties, perhaps to the distance of his paternal resi- dence, that we have not seen as much of Larry outside of school as We might wish. He has not yet decided upon his future course, but what- ever he undertakes our best wishes go with him. LYLE WHITNEY, GJ A CID, D, -Lyle is one of the quieter boys of the class, and yet he is all there. He made his D last winter in bas- ketball, and has been out for football and track. Often do We raise our heads humbly when crossing the street to see Lyle go riding past in a swell carriage. He has not yet decided on his course for next year, but we feel sure that wherever he goes his unassuming manner will win him many friends. FRED ALVAH WINDOVER, 2 A X-Fred, the learned one, the digni- fied one, the scientific one, the philosophi- cal one, is about to leave the halls of old Drury. What such a loss will mean can only be told by the future ages when the name of Windover shall be handed down to posterity, coupled with that of Plato or Socrates. ' He has been a Worker throughout his course, filling the offices of Assistant Editor of the Academe, President of the Debating Society, and Secretary of the D. A. A. He is a good Writer and can make a ' 'spiel almost equal to one of Mulcare's. In the farces he had a part Well suited to his abili- ties, which he performed in a manner beyond criticism. Next year he ex- pects to paralize the faculty of Clark College With his superhuman Wisdom. GEORGE WILLIAM WINNING, 2 A X--George, while not a hard character, is a hard character to describe. He is all things to all men. He comes from Houghtonville with a reputation as a great dancer. He has taken the business course with great honor and covered his card with gore, He greatly enjoys the pleasures of life and is said to he a shark at Whist. A ladies' man,-he is not efferninate.

During the next few years we ex- pect to hear startling reports of him from the Chandler School of Sten- ography, where he will continue his business education. CLASS HISTORY 92 A long time ago. so long that we can hardly remember it, in the fall of 1901, we were routed out of bed in the wee, sma' hours one morning and told to hu1'ry, as school novv began at eight o'clock tand we have been hurrying ever since to get there on timej. '05 was an especially noted class whenit entered because of its size, or should we say sizes. We ranged from Baker's mountainous heightdown to Johnny Burn's few inches, but in spite of the variety, who can say that a better class ever entered?, Early in our iirst year, one of our class members gallantly called a class meeting for the purpose of electing class officers, but some of the haughty Juniors. claiming that the meeting was not carried on under parliamentary 1'ules twith Windover in the class too,j insisted on another, and then Harold Braman was elected our first president. The boys formed a class football team with George Chase as captain, and for the first time held up '05's reputation by defeating a Freeman School team with the score of 5 to 0. During ou1' Erst winter as High School pupils, who can fo1'get the fun we had, the numerous sur- prise t?j parties, the grand long slides down the banisters, and the excitement of our first exams. It doesn't seem possible that we ever asked such questions as Do we have to come up on the days when we don't have exams? But then we were young and foolish. In the spring a tennis club was started and many of '05's members joined. What fun there was then on the campus tas Mr. Hawley would sayj on pleasant afternoons, the tournaments and chasing balls over the bank among the poison ivy. The Spirit of Old Nate Drury, tired of waiting for the city fathers to decree that we should have a new building, and insulted by the old one, made an attempt to destroy Drury in our Freshman year by sending the plaster tumbling down, but it was in vain, for the fathers simply had it put back to tumble down again some time. When June came, bringing the graduation of '02, we Freshmen had the extreme pleasure of gracing the top row of the wonderful bleachers built for the occasion. That summer, some of us found out for the first time that a summer school existed and that we might improve our minds as well as our standings by going, so a number of Drury loving members trudged up on the hot days to pour over books. But our Sophomore year was far more exciting. We had hardly gotten over the effects of being down on the second floor when it became the fashion to use soft coal, and of course Drury followed suit, with the result that the furnaces which had stood everything before, refused to be insulted in such a way. They sent the black smoke up through the whole building until it became unbearable, and then for a while our sessions were out short and we joyfully went home. How many of us then echoed in our hearts the words of seniors, God bless the man who first invented soft coal. Soon we had an opportunity to behold what orators we had in the class at rhetoricals, although there were but few who wouldn't have given up the opportunity when it came their turn to speak. In the fall of our Sophomore year was that never to be forgotten football game with Pittsfield, but we will not dwell on the injustice done Druryg it is enough to say that all athletic relations between the schools were severed for nearly a year. This same year, the Faculty took away from us our regular monthly reports and instead sent little leaflets to our parents, telling what our standard was, and if it was low, the cause was given. And what was worse yet, the Faculty decreed that yearly calls must be made on each pupil. Oh, what horrors they were. How great was our satisfaction when the imaginations of our sage instructors gave out and they were unable to invent any more reasons for our deficiencies, and we went back to the old monthly reports. But the fear of pastoral calls hung over us all of our course. One morning in February. 1903, just as we were starting for school, the fire alarm rang and everyone hurried to get a glimpse of the fire. if possible, before going in school. but how great our surprise was to see smoke pouring from the windows of Old Drury and flames darting around. The spirit of old Nate was again trying to throw off the disgrace and gain a new building for us, but in vain, it succeeded only in putting the long suffering High School pupils in the still older part of the building and making us endure the discomfort of the infant department seats until they could be replaced by larger ones. It is needless to say much about the strike, how we were deprived of a holiday and refused to stand for it, is still fresh in our memory, and always will be. At the end of our Sophomore year. we suffered a great loss in Mr. Memrnottss leaving, after only having given us a year of his excellent teaching. When we came back as Juniors, a large number of the members of '05 had wandered from the fold, never to return. but the rest of us entered for a jolly good time. We held our first hop under the direc- tion of Peter, and made a grand success of it, not only as a social event but linancially,-and with 13 on the committee too. How awful we all thought it was to have our Semi-Final exams sent to the St. Louis exposition and it was whispered that not even Margaret was excused from the exams, after all her studying. What injustice! Old Nate again tried to set tire to Drury this year, but succeeded only in getting us out of the building while the small flames started by an experiment in the lab were quickly put out. One of the most mysterious things of our Junior year was Where did the short-hand pencils go? We wonder if Tower knows. The Academe had the good fortune to fall into Emigh's hands and under his management still kept up its high reputation. By far the most exciting time in our Junior year was when the Seniors tried to keep their iiag up on Drury. We Juniors found out where it was be- ing made and kept a close watch on it, trying to prevent its going up, but the Seniors finally succeeded in raising it early Monday morning on the day of the exams, after a long night's struggle. Then began a contest over the banner, long to be remembered. Even the senior girls, layed aside their dignity and mounted the tower to aid the fellows in their defense. Nevertheless about noon. the Seniors were so hard pressed by our Junior boys, that in their last extremity, they cut the rope of the flag, and in trying to throw it to a safe place, threw it down one of the chimneys, from where we rescued it, only having allowed the Seniors to keep it up for about six hours. As the time drew near to open school last September, when we as Seniors should enterin a dignilied way and with solemn mein Qthat is, when not eating lollypopsj, an excitement prevailed in the city, never before experienced,--small pox. On account of itQ the school could not be opened until October, with the exception of the Senior class which was allowed to start two weeks early. When it was whispered around that we would not have any rhetoricals this year, 0'Hearn felt so badly, it is said, that Doctor consented to hold them just once. and Will delivered one of Webster's speeches in his Eine oratorical style. The school committee insulted our Senior dignity this year by insisting that we should have a tire drill, so one Friday after music we all Wended our way, much to everyone's delight down the fire escape, and although we enjoyed it ever so much, the committee seemed to think once was enough and we have never been allowed the privilege since. But we are overlooking the athletes in our class. '05 has more than contributed her share to them. In football, Follett, Chase, Boland, Cady, Mulcare, Malcolm and Turner have all made the team, while this winter, MCG urk. Boland, Whitney, and Malcolm played on the basketball team. On November 23. we held our Senior Dance and had a line time and the best part of all, cleared expenses, a thing which is seldom done at a Senior hop. However, the greatest success of our High School course was the Farces. On December 16, 1904. We presented A Bunch of Roses and A Box of Monkeys to a large house and between the Roses and the Monkeys made a great success of it. Still being in need of more money for graduation the class secured Mrs. Addie Chase Smith to read one evening and we cleared quite a little then. During the winter Mr. Hawley tried to turn us all into poets, and with beautiful results, the following is an example: About the house, the winds did shriek Within the house, the mice did squeak. What a fortunate thing for us it was that the faculty, this winter, didn't send out those little leaflets giving the reasons for our flanking, or how many of us would have gone so often to vaudeville fplease pronounce it as Ghristine requestsj and how empty the front row would have been. But who can forget the day the girls parted their hair in puritan style and wore it hanging down their backs with a curl on the end? Or who knew that Doctor was such a writer of fairy stories? His little Fable about the fox will probably appear in the next book of Fables printed. What a good time the girl's did have. From then on '05 has led a quiet life. and in the meanwhile Amiee Blanchard and Thomas Malcolm have car- ried off first prizes at the Kappa prize speaking contest. We all had a big surprise when Drury Won the meet at Williamstown this summer, something she has never done before and all due to good hard prac- tice. Owing to the interference of Doctor and the School Committee, the Juniors voted not to attempt to prevent us from raising our flag or try to take it down, so it has floated in all its splendor over Drury and the whole city. And now our history is drawing to a close, after a long day of Are We? or Are we not? The Clerk of the Weather Bureau tried his best to prevent us from coming but undaunted by the rain and clouds, here We are, after a banquet whose excellence could only have been obtained by the early arrival of our President. fSince it was necessary that the material for the Class Book be in early, it was impossible for the rest of the History to be printed, but the Class Flag is being made and the class intends to go to Bennington for its ride and banquetj CLASS PROPHECY JENNIE ARNOLD BOND J One day in the midst of a tangled woodland I paused to gaze about me. Here a wonderful little world, a real fairyland surrounded me! As if in keeping with my environment a bright little fairy sprang from a flower and courtesying low cried: , Welcome good mortal To this flowery bowerf, I was so dazed that some minutes passed before I replied: O good fairy, grant me one wish,-to glance into the future. It shall be granted unto you straight way. Follow this path which leads to a large cave. Knock thou twice upon its portal and my sister will open unto you. One thing only I warn youg do not utter a sound, no matter what you see or hear, if you wish to return again to your mortal brothers. Not long afterwards I found myself within a dark, spacious cave, in the farthest extremity of which was a dim Ere. By its Hashes I outlined many witches sitting around. uttering weird sounds. Overcome with awe and fright I fell upon the ground, but arose again almost instantly, hearing din and excitement. Before my eyes the throng was hurrying. I knew not whither. Suddenly a shrill voice greeted me, cry- ing: Shine, shine, who wants a shine? A moment after I saw the beaming, dimpled face of Sunny McGurk. Then the interior of a magnificent theatre appeared. Scarcely had the prima-donna started to sing before I recognized Christine Egan. Nellie Carter, now one of the world's leading pianists, was her ac- oompanist. It was dark for an instant, then I saw a large ship dancing about on the briny deep. I beheld Clara Parkhurst upon the deck. She was just about to hook on, Cas Sierra would have said,j to a dear friend whom she was accompanying abroad. Below giving out his orders to the jolly tars, was Captain Edward Boland A Again darkness enshrouded me and I had almost given up hope of being allowed to see my other class mates, when a spacious court room appeared, in which Thomas Mulcare was eloquently and shrewd- ly pleading his case. Then the scene was shifted and a street in China took my attention. In the midst of the throng perched upon a platform, earnestly speaking, was a tall figure garbed in a gayly colored kimona. The fact that he had a tiny pig-tail and blue eys revealed him to be an American. Fred Windoverhadindeed been received into the hearts of the heathen Chinese. Next appeared a pleasant cottage, situated but a stone's throw from a building on the front of which was inscribed: Y. M. C. A. Happy children were frolicing about the door, in whose midst was Katherine Mosher. Her days of teaching had evidently been numbered. Many students were hurrying in and out of a college building. There at the desk, in the recitation room, wearing huge spectacles and a hair-cloth coat, stood the prof., a little dried-up old man with pier- cing black eyes and thin lips. waving a warning finger at the youths and explaining: Learn to concen- trate, my lads, learn to concentrate! That is what you are here for. How like Harry Hayden of old! Teaching English literature in the same institution was William Turner, although very stern, he was greatly admired. I again found myself amidst great excitement and cheering. Some big event was about to take place. In every store window. on all the street corners were large, imposing, life-size posters, at the footof which was inscribed: The leading exponent of the strenuous life. A moment afterwards President Jones' private car passed through the city. Honorable William O'Hearn, commonly called The Second Web- ster, was accompanying him. Foremost in the immense millinery establishment which now attracted my attention was Blanche Newman. She was introducing new and original styles of head gear for women of all cou:ntries. Then I seemed to be staring into open space. Suddenly hearing a loud clicking sound, I looked up to see a most modern flying machine descend. In spite of the fact that the man who stepped from this machine was oddly dressed, I recognized John Christie. After his explorations he wrote most complete volumes entitled, My Trip to the Moon, and The Inhabitants of Mars, telling all about these interesting planets. With another shift of scenery a grand eastern residence appeared. In a charming shadowed nook Ruth Hamblen was performing with great dignity, duties as a German ambassador's wife. As prima- donna she had visited Germany twice. It was dark and still for an instant, then glancing up I saw Thomas Malcolm, the millionaire, ad- dressing his agents in clear, full tones, now and then airing a snowy hand and signet gem. t'Before I engage you I desire to become thoroughly convinced that you can fluently repeat these few words before each door: This volume, 'Good manners for all occasions, i is the one and only authority on matters of etiquette and good manners today. It embraces every phase of social life and brings good form within easy reach of the hurnblest home. It tells about etiquette of family, of correspondence, of travel, of in- troduction, of courtship, of weddings, of funeralsg good manners in hospitality, in parties, in dinners, in luncheons, in entertainments, in church, in dress. Good manners, for men, Women, and children. No matter how intricate the problem that may be presented, Thomas Crichton Malcolm solvesit instantly and correctly. U By the next scene I tirst learned of Aimee Blanchard's popularity as a poet and writer. Her charm- ing mannerism in poetry and prose alike had won her fame. Then I saw a large well-equipped gymna- sium in which Amanda Stewart was teaching physical culture to a host of girls. Now, before my eager eyes appeared a little, low country school-house surrounded by grand old apple trees. In the yard were many happy children laughing and shouting, O teacher, see this flower, cried one. Make Willie stop, teacherf' cried another. Thus I sought teacher among the group, whom I recognized as no other than Alice Dalton. 'U All these previous scenes had aroused my enthusiasm, admiration, and wonder, but when the next appeared I must say my emotions reached their bounds. I was seated in a magnificent church listening to a most eloquent sermon by the pastor, Rev. Alanson Bedford Cady, taken from the first book of Oba- diah, the first to the seventh verses inclusive. Why Dud chose the ministry, I am not prepared to state. This church also possessed a most loved deaconess. Not only was she faithful to her church du- ties and classes in Latin, Greek, German, French, Spanish, Italian. and English, but wrote many nota- ble prose works of the style of How to Study and many poems of the style of that little song Katy- did, to say nothing of the fact that Margaret was the leader in the social life of the city. Again darkness reigned for some seconds, then another building appeared, about which many maid- ens garbed in sombre gray were visible. Upon the portal I read the inscription, 'fLet no man enter in on pain of death. Ruth Pead had at last found a means of spreading her motto among the fairer sex. My attention was next turned to a spacious office, in which was a large desk strewn with papers and over which a card conveyed the idea that it was Hbusy day. H Before a typewriter sat George Winning energetically working. Leaving the office I rang for the elevator, the door of which was very mechani- cally opened by Robert Harvie. The years had been kind to him indeed. In the street below a line pair of thoroughbreads were passing, most skillfully driven. As the carriage passed I read upon the back of the seat: Lyle Whitney, sale and boarding stables. As Fanny Walley was always one of Mr. Anthony's stars, I was not surprised to see her in her own studio surrounded by works-of-art. The next view revealed the fact that on the death of Mary Livermore, Celia Andrews had become a leading factor in upholding the woman's suffrage question. I now stared in amazement at a large poster advertising John Remington Hobbie's greatest show on earth. When the circus grounds came within view there was John himself perched upon a tall box shout- ing at the top of his nasal tones: Here's where you get your tickets for the big show. During the wonderful performance I heard a voice singing above the din: All the latest songs! 'How much wood, would a wood-chuck, chuck, if a wood-chuck would chuck wood?' 'i Never before did I know that Law- rence Weld possessed such au ear for music. The scene was again shifted and I was in the vast West. Hundreds of wild steeds were dashing he1'e and there beyond the grasp of the cowboys. In their midst mounted on a fiery bronco was a noble, stalwart fellow who was more dextrous than the others. As his horse was suddenly brought toastand- still I recognized its rider to be William Emigh, Then I beheld a grand old French chateau in which Mlle. Liegliere, better known as Isabel Venard, was the reigning queen. Her French had indeed'won her a fortune. Presently hearing a clatter of horses' hoofs, I looked up to find myself upon a steep mountain path. As the stage stopped and the driver descended I longed to greet Peter Follett. One of the passengers had swooned half-way up the mountain, which resulted in sending for a physician. But as he did not appear I was about to rush for aid when I encountered Dr. Andrew Matte with his medicine case in hand, hatless, coatless and breathless. It so recalled the scene of years before when he had left his dinner un- touched to rescue the 1904 banner and thus perserve the honor of 1905, that I would have shouted, I fear, and thus been unable to tell you all these strange happenings, had not the sound of approaching mu- sic suddenly arrested me. A small boy headed aprocession bearing a large banner on which was inscrib- ed in bold letters: The Hartford Brass Band-Horace Tower, leader. And sure enough there was Nancy, arrayedin a gorgeous suit, ornamented with gilt braid, waving his baton with astonishing grace. About a pleasant building witnessing the parade were many little children of as many different nation- alities. In their midst, looking on with a motherly smile was Susan Vandoozan. Miss Templeis home for waif's was a most happy place. It was now dark for several seconds and I feared to press the Fates longer, when remembering that Nature to each allots his proper sphere, still lingered, and I assure you I felt repaid when the next scene appeared. It was a most perfect representation of the famous work-of-art, The man with the Hoe, a handsome, sun-burned fellow, a true rival of Apollo, was energetically hoeing potatoes. Suddenly as he paused to rest, I recognized George Chase. Before an open hearth sat a little maiden meditating. The dancing flames revealed dreamy eyes, al- most hidden by sweeping lashes. Was not single blessedness her lot! For several years she had kept bachelor-girl quarters and had become a falnous pianist, to say nothing of the fact that she was the champion woman-golfer and had played leading role in the charming play, Mrs, Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. But in every path-way of life she had been kept on the chase by a persistent lover. Neverthe- less Laurie was thoroughly won at last. Now I know you are all anxious to know how Fate had delt with Gordon. Let me lell you all that it disclosed to me. During his Father's extended trip abroad he most successfully carried on the min- istry. After that he became a recognized author and lecturer, then actor, taking prominent parts in Shakesperian roles, a college president, senator, and held numerous other worthy othces. Peter, the Great, who you will recall was skilled in fourteen trades, is only one to whom he may bejustly compared. The closing scene was the grand finale of Romeo and Julietf' playing the one hundred and Enttieth night. Miss Mildred Bengaline, the leading actress of the day, who was taking the role of Juliet, was a most beautiful maiden with flashing black eyes and charming grace. She had just drawn a small dag- ger from a hidden pocket in her long, snowy draperies, and was about to stab herself right through the corset, when Romeo in the person of a certain Mr. Barney, in heavy armor, dashed in on a Hery, black steed, twhich might have been the one that Burr Boland possessed years betorej seized the frightened girl and disappeared from view amid tremendous applause. So Christine had caused Shakespeare to be improved upon! Thus the future has been disclosedto me. so be content for: The lot assigned to every man is suited to him and suits him to itselff? PROPHECY ON PROPI-I ET CHRISTINE MILDRED PI-IELPS 1.99 When the Posteritaire arrived in town everyone was wild with excitement to go up in the wonder- ful air-ship which enabled one to have a glimpse into the unknown future. As soon as circumstances allowed, a party of us, curious as to how the future was to be portrayed, made the ascent. When we were up to a height where the air was very rare some draperies at the far end of the ship were -thrown back and we saw a weird looking old woman standing before a low table on which was placed an iron box filled with live coals of tire. At the request that some one should enter the room fantastically decorated with skulls and cross-bones, I entered the apartment of Zenobia, the Gypsy queen. Then the curtains were drawn together and after I told her that I desired to know the future of our school friend, Jennie, a darkness came over the place and by the gleam of a small candle I saw the old hag throw some powder on the coals of tire. Directly the room was filled with smoke and I beheld with amazement a brilliantly lighted ball-room where a great many of the English nobility were dancing. But suddenly there was a lull and the gentlemen all turned their eyes toward the door to see the fairest debutante of the season and in the beautifull maiden entering I recognized our Jennie. Then all was dark- ness again but soon I saw through the gloom a train speeding through a Western state and as it came to a stop many passengers alighted, last of all a young gentleman and lady, joyfully hailed by an elderly couple who had come to the station to welcome their beloved son and his chosen wife. As the fair bride lifted her veil at the kind old lady's request I again beheld Jennie. Then the happy young couple got in the carriage, the coachnian cracked his whip and they were off. I was very glad to have the scene con- tinued as I was most interested in the welfare of the bride. Now they were being driven down a broad avenue and as they neared a beautiful park the horses turned in at the entrance. For a moment there was utter darkness and then a grand mansion was clearly visible and Jennie was there as the mistress of a beautiful and likewise happy home. CLASS WILL ' .pr Be it known to all persons, that We, the Class of 1905, of Drury High School, in the city of North Adams, in the County of Berkshire, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being in perfect health of body and of sound mind, but realizing that we are about to depart from these scenes of our joys and sor- rows for the broader fields of life, do make this our last will and testament.

Signed, SENIOR CLASS. Docw 2 MiClieyH Wlitnesses. The Dru RIDE AND BANQUET ar Again, at the time of the class ride was the spirit of 1905 shown. It seemed that the forces of nature had indeed conspired to prevent the ride which had been anticipated so long, and yet, despite the weath- er. nearly the whole class was ready to start at about five o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 21. All were prepared for a wet ride and they certainly were not disappointed. This, however, did not lower the spirits of the party as they could not have been better had the weather been of the brightest. Soon after arriving at the Putnam House in Bennington, the company sat down to a feast which was well fitted to make glad the hearts of each and every one, and it certainly fulfilled its purpose. After this bountiful meal Samuel Jones assumed the otiicial dignity of toastmaster and toasts were responded to as follows: Drury, John Christie K'Class of 1905, Fred Windover Selections, Mr. Hawley Alumni,'l Nellie Carter Faculty, Wni. O'Hearn Athletics, George Chase Class History, Ruth Hainblen Prophecy, Jennie Bond '6Propheoy on Prophetf, Christine Phelps Class Song, By the Class Soon after the conclusion of these toasts the class withdrew to a nearby hall where dancing was enjoyed until about one o'clock, when it was thought time to start over the hills again. It is said that some enjoyed the hoineward journey more than any other part of the ride. perhaps because it did not rain then, but that can not be discussed here. The party arrived at North Adams about five o'clock, sleepy perhaps, but well satished with the trip which it was agreed by all was a most enjoyable event.

TEAM THE UNDER-CLASSES Though it sometimes seems the nature of Seniors, like Sophomores, to consider themselves the all important element in school life, there are times when they realize that other classes do count for some- thing after all. Once more history is repeating itself and another class is sadly CPD departing from old Drury's sheltering walls. It is true that our fellow classes here have been an ever changing host, mov- ing all too quickly on before us or behind, but ere we pass, we would have a parting word with those who still remain. First to the Juniors. We see in you, 1906. many promises of a truly remarkable Senior class, if you continue in your present course. In the tirst place, we admire your nerve--to talk of having a hop when you were only little sophomores and then to cut out tive dances when you did have one. Then, too, your marvelous skill in management, never failing to secure the hall you wish-ahem! -never wasting time on useless decorations, thow about the chrysanthemums?l and finally, brethren, making the fabulous sum of two dollars on one hop. Thus endeth the Erst lesson. Toward you, 1907, being our sister class, our feelings are of the kindliest. We remember last year, when we were hot on the war path for the Senior banner, how some of your number took our side. fBy the way, we would like you none the less if you would kindly return some of those borrowed CTU books. No questions askedj Being sophomores, there is doubtless nothing of importance on the face of the earth which you have not already mastered, and there is no good word which we might say of you, of which you were not long ago firmly convinced. Even so. We will let it pass, for you will soon become wiser in the ways of the wicked world. Last, but not least, we would speak tothe children. We have enjoyed your childish innocence, 1908, and we have smiled at your greenness and your sweet timidity, causing you to meekly murmur yes, sir to the upper classmen. If we have ever seemed to cut you, please rememberthat we do not always have microscopes at hand and we hope that by the time you are seniors you will at least be visible to the naked eye. Next year, if you are good, you will move across the hall, so put aside your dolls and marbles. look as if you owned the earth, and there you are wise young sophomores without a 'bit of trouble. And, dear little ones, let this motto be ever before you, Be good, fand you will be lonesorne.j ATHLETICS el 1n the last year ot school the class of 1905 has Won fame in the strenuous life of atl1letics. The foot- ball season was what could be called a success, for although our old rival, Pittsfield was not defeated. still Drury defeated Holyoke High School, and gave them agood thrashing ot 17 to 0. The team was made up of good big men, but they had hard luck and although they won many games and lost only three still it could have been better. The following is a list of games and scores: Drury 5, Drury 17. Drury 0, Drury 5. Drury 17, Drury 39, Drury 11, Drury 5, Drury 0, Drury 99, Total number of points, Williamstown H. S. 0. Searles Academy 0. Pittsneld H. S. 10. Arms Academy 16. Holyoke High School 0. Searle-s Academy 0. Arms Academy 0. Pittsfield H. S. 5. Williamstown H. S. 10. Opponents ell.. The men from '05 who played on the team were Turner, left guard, Folett, right tackle, Chase, quar- ter back, Boland, left tackle, Mulcare, left half back. The basketball team was not very successful, as Drury lost more games than she won. The 1905 men who played were Mctiurk, left forward, Malcolnncenter, Whitney, left guard, E. Boland, lettguard. Although Drury did not uphold her former records in basketball, nevertheless the Championship of the county was won. as Pittsfield lost three games to Drury, and could only squeeze out one lonely victory down in her own home. But the best fruit ot the year was the picking of the only plum, the championship at Williamstown in the interscholastic meet where Pittsfield, Adams, and Williamstown High Schools, Ballston School, Albany and Searles Academies, and the Cambridge Union School went down before a team which, the day before the meet, was said to stand a very poor chance. Here the rooters for Drury should be cone gratulated for their persistent and encouraging cheering. The point winners were Amell, '08, tirst in mile run, second in one-half mile run, tied for second in pole vault, Parsons '07, first in one half mile rung Jones' 08, third in discus throw, Captain Emigh '05 lst in pole vaultg third in 220 yard hurdles, Chase '05 third in 120 yard high hurdles, Christie '05, and Barron '08, tied with six others for third place in the high jumpg Follett '05, second in .shot put, third in one-fourth mile run and hammer throw. Drury had entered the interscholastic association in 1899 and this year was the first time that the fellows came home victorious, although three times before Drury won second place and once lost the meet by a mere Hulse, so called. The winning of the meet has filled a long felt want in proving that a fellow never knows what he can do 'till he tries. The winners ofthe D in '05 are E. Boland, B. Boland, manager, O'Hearn, manager, Tower, manager, Cady, Christie, Chase, Emigh, Follett, Malcolm, McGu1'k, Mulcare, Turner, Whitney.
