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.

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.

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.
