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

' .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.

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.
