Jessie Hughes JESSIE HUGHES. There is among our members a little girl called Jessie Ann t?j Hughes. Jessie has always been popular in her class as well as with the Williams students, but if you mention this fact to Jessie you will see her big black eyes snap as they do when she says. I won't to Mr. Thomas. She took the part of a school girl in the Farce. Jessie has been among the leaders in the laboratory entertainments in spite of the fact that she is a representative of Blackinton. We surmise that she received her training from the vaudeville last winter for she and Alice B. declare they went one afternoon and had an escort between them. We advise Jessie to beware ofthe strong sex for they have always had a tendency to weaken the girls' knowledge of their lessons. This Jessie will probably realize more strongly when she attends Normal and is chaperoned by Mr. Farrell. Maurice Kronick MAURICE KRONICK. Kronick in name indeed he isa chronic bookworm. Such is his appearance on the Main streets of this prosperous burg as he goes to and fro from school to library, busy burrowing through the covers and devouring the contents of the book with which his arms are ever laden. He is the orator of the class and trod unrivaled the planks of the theatre at prize speaking. How badly we felt the day he vainly tried to explain the mutilated appearance of a certain historical outline upon the board! All in need of ten cent car fares to games, behold Kronickl Peacemaker of party strifes, look to Kronick! Antidote for the blues, the Kroniok smile! We do not know what Maurice's plans for the future are but we think that with his oratorical ability, he would make a fair lawyer. 26

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

Arthur LaDame ARTHUR LaDAME, D, CBAQJ. Arthur came down from Freeman with Morrison and the rest ofthem and has been coming ever since. Every morning about three minutes of eight you could see him humping up over the bank, trying to get to school on time. In his last year he came up earlier, because Mr. Hutchinson insisted that he must see Arthur's smiling face five minutes before the hour. Artie has the most artistic head of hair of any one in the school and he always looks cute. He is the sworn enemy of Doc. whom he thinks is always on his trail for some reason or other. Arthur and the faculty never could get along well together anyhow. When Joe Campbell was here it was war to the knife between them, but since Joe went, Arthur has assiduously confined himself to the task of trying to pass six subjects. Arthur has not decided on his future COU FSS. Mildred MacDonald MILDRELU MacDONALD. Mildred entered High School with the class of 1907 but soon decided that that class was too slow for her, and so has taken the course in three years in order to graduate with 1906. She has always ranked among the best in scholarship and is a girl who is always willing to help. Without her assistance Miss McNulty would have to resign and as for bazaars, debates and such occasions-they would be of no account whatever if Mildred was not there to preside at the piano. When the class came to look for speakers for graduation Mildred's name was the Erst chosen and she was also elected Editor-in-Chief of the class book. Mildred was appointed Exchange editor of the Academe in her Sophomore year and was especially adapted for writing The Dru. In many other ways too, she has entered heartily into the school life. Next year she will continue her studies at Smith College. 27
