Mary Elizabeth Donica MARY ELIZABETH DONICA. Mary deserted the class of 1905 and joined our ranks this year. She is the girl that takes life easy and is always looking for a good time. Now that the vaudeville season is over there are great attractions for her in the underclassmen. But perhaps this interest in the children is only a sort of practice to her for she has decided to attend Miss Wheelock's Kindergarten School, in Boston next year. She has also been much interested in the Girl's Basketball team and was manager of the team last year. Abbie Fuller ABBIE FULLER. Abbie wisely left the ranks of 1905 in Adams and came to us at the beginning of our Junior year. She is very fond of German and is a great aid to Miss Spencer by holding small detachments of the German class every intermission in the Senior rooln. She took the part admirably of Mrs, Wallace, a fascinating widow on the lookout for No. 2 , in the farce. Abbie is very popular with the other sex and there will be not a few broken hearts when she leaves Druryg besides this, she had quite an extensive correspondence, butit is rumored that the tri-weekly letters which she receives from Hamilton are particularly interesting. Abbie intends to go to Wellesley in the fall. and our best wishes go with her. 21

Arthur Dailey ARTHUR DAILEY. Here we have the great and only. The ladies' man, funny boy, financier of the Senior class and a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Arthur is agraduate of Free- man and lives up in Houghtonville with LaDame. Arthur is a sport. He brought Alice Haddow down to school every day during his high school course and after school he generally escorted any- where from three to twelve girls back to their respective homes on the hill. Arthur is a conscien- tious scholar but his Jonah subject is Physics. He made the second team in football but as he was too light for heavy work for any other kindj he wasn't what could be called a great success. He never hesitated to speak what he thought and hisnhonest opinion was always sought in questions of importance in Senior class meetings. If everything goes right, Arthur is going to attend the University of Vermont next year but wherever he goes his classmates will find him a jolly, good-natured, fun- loving fellow, and will never have cause to regret his coming among them. Albert James Darling ALBERT JAMES DARLING. Darling, as self-contained and imposing as the Senior girls are said to be staid and sober, fell into the ranks of '06 from Mark Hopkins, whose sheltering Walls he only consented to leave along with his cronies, the Whitney Bros. As a junior Albert Won the palm at prize speaking and would have been honored this year, had the essay he failed to write in time, materialized. With strenuous voice and strong expression he becomingly rendered Four score and seven years ago on Memorial Day to oblige the city fatl1ers. Between the Normal School and Green field, Albert has contrived to pleasantly pass away vacations and it is rumored actually has a girl , since he was seen showing the points of interest in the city to such acompanion. But perhaps it was only a mere relation . Albert will speak at graduation and then leave for Middletown, Conn., where he will live in the future. Thus endeth the history of A. Darling up to date. 20

Minnie May Fuller MINNIE MAY FULLER. Little Minnie as she is best known, came to us from Hoosick Falls and has worked diligently during her course at Drury. She is one of the tidgety kind but can make the pencil fly in the short hand room just the same. Minnie took part in the Chub's school scene in the Farce which was once that her size was of advantage to her. She appears to be very quiet yet finds many jokes in the most serious parts of recitations. Her report card has been graced with A's this year and she has won honors in the business department. We all wish her the greatest of success in her work as a stenographer. Rayner Edward Fuller RAYNOR EDWARD FULLER, D , GJ AQ. Here is another Mark Hopkins product. Gaze at it in won- der! What is it? It is the mighty basketball player, the wonderful football promoter and last but not least, the only fellow in school, who dares to wear a pair of white trousers! Reginald is redheaded. in fact at a distance he looks like a match. But then he is a good fellow and is Well liked. He made his D in basketball and played football until someone nearly killed him by stepping on one of his Hngers. Since then he has contented himself with singing bass in the quartet. John has a myriad of nicknames and in his sophomore year he up and took second prize at the Kappa Phi Alpha prize speaking contest. He said that he couldn't help it and that it was in him and had to come out. Buck also made a hit as endman in the minstrels and as Zeph in the Senior farce he proved to be a howling success . He says that he is going over to Williams along with Welsby providing he can pass the entrance exams and likes the faculty. We hope that he will like them because enough is enough but too much is a plenty. We've had enough. 22
