' .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.

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.

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
