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

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

Alice Haddow ALICE HADDOW. Alice came up the bank with the rest ot the Freeman delegation in time to begin with 1906. At the beginning of her junior year she Joined the Intermission German Class and apparently was Well pleased with the results as she has remained a member of this organization for two years. Always in for a good time, Alice took chemistry and as she never could countenance grafting, she had a bill to pay that wasn't fair . She is an ardent supporter of athletics and daily contributes her nickel to swell the lunch counter fund. Alice has exerted so much potential energy du1'ing her sojourn she thinks at least a year's rest will he necessary before attempting to cram any more classics into her head. Ellen E. Hamer ELLEN E. HAMER. Ellen is a Braytonville girl and a great walker for she has been heard to say that she can easily walk to school in lifteen minutes. When the call came for the girls to debate Ellen was one ofthe first to respond, but was not at all disappointed when the judges announced their decision in favor of the other side, seeing who her opponent was. Her star subject is History and so the class thought that no one could be better iitted to write the Class History. Ellen is quite a planner and much of the success of the Bazaar, held to swell the funds of the Athletic Association, was due to her etforts. Ellen expects to complete lier education at the Normal School. 24
