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

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

Louis Gelinas I :LOUIS GELINAS. Some of us remember what a cute little fellow Louis was when he entered high school. And to think that that was only three years ago too,for Louis decided he must do something out ofthe ordinary and that the best way to accomplish it would be to finish his course in three years. Accordingly he butted into the class of1906 with apparently little trouble. The members of that worthy body hardly realized his arrival among them until he appeared in Chub's school scene in the farce. Every day Louis has climbed down from his home on the mountains near the reservoir and has several times saved us from a fate, similar to the Johnstown flood by his watchful eye. Louis says he would like to attend Cornell in the fall. in the pursuit of agriculture and he generally accomplishes what he wants to. Clovis Gelineau CLOVIS GELINEAU. HD. Babe caught our eye by coming out in baseball when first weaned from the Freeman school. Captain of the team in his junior year he is still up and doing with a strong right arm in the box, when needed, also as one of the end men in the minstrels Clovis came in for a liberal allowance ofthe good things at hand upon such a skrumshus occasion, and a fair division of honors as a member of the already famous Drury Quartette. One too many for the holding capacity of the best room ot our elegant edifice fwith apologies to Dr. 's office and the Libraryj he was perforoe obliged to be content with the association of Juniors, who have not yet attained a realization of the demeanor suitable for upperclassmen. But we trust that in the future our good example will continue to live in his remembrance and that our brother will not be turned from the path of truthful- ness and virtue into those of prevarication and sin in that profession which he has chosen to pursue throughout his life, namely that of the law at Cornell University. 23
