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

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

Harriet E. Hanley HARRIET E. HANLEY. There has not been much of the school life in which Harriet has not taken part. She took the leading role in the Farce to perfection, held the position of School Notes Editor of the Academe and carried off first prize speaking in her Sophomore year. Besides she was chosen to speak at graduation for her high standing in scholarship. Whatever may he Harrietfs faults, laziness is certainly none of them for she has always found time to lend a helping hand to every undertaking of the athletic teams, the class or the school asa whole. Of late she has kept us busy trying to solve the meaning of those frequent lolushes and that dreamy, far-away expression. She expects to enter Vassar College in the fall. Clarence Orman Hicks CLARENCE ORMAN HICKS. Clarence came to us With the Freeman bunch and with a profound reputation as a poet and a writer. Upon many occasions he has shown us his ability with the pen, and he has written our class poem. He has wended his way through Drury With an almost silent tread, but at the san.e time setting a pace in Greek and Latin which it has been hard for us to follow. He was chosen on account of his high standing in his studies to speak at graduation, but with his characteristic modesty he declined the honor. Next year he is going to Williams Col- lege Where We may be sure he will add new honors to Drury's long list. 25
