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.

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

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.
