Robert K. Morrison ROBERT K. MORRISON, D, G A cb, This elongated subject came down from Freeman with LaDarne and the rest of the bunch and has continued to come for four years. Rummy is the tallest man in the class unless it's Dailey and if he ever fell down he'd be halfway home. He made his D on the baseball team in his junior year and came out for football in his senior year. Runnny'i is also an orator of note and delivered his Kappa Phi essay in the contest last year. He also took a prominent part in the Senior farce and covered himself with glory and grease paint. Rob is quite a traveller and makes frequent trips down the county to Pittsfield. If nothing happens to preventive expect to hear of Rob doing great things in the future. John Ross MacPherson JOHN ROSS MacPHERSON. Jack has had a long, uphill iight. After three years of summer school he reached the Senior room, all up in his studies,but had to descend to the degrading Work of typewriting in order to get his sheepskin. Grouch never worked in his life except when he sold papers and was an agent for Hamer's Washing Machines. He is a great friend of the ladies as is testified by his career in the lab . He intends to enter Bliss Business University or Lowell Textile School in the fall but, wherever he goes. may he be pursued by the evil spirit of Kronick. who is Mac's accomplice in all the grafts that are being carried out. As President of the Boys' League his name will go down in the history of Drury. 23

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

Edson Orton EDSON ORTON, 2 A X, The dignified one, Ex-Editor-in-Chief of the Academeg how much weight his words carry though they come thus lamely, from his tongue. See ye not, unthinking mor- tals, an Edmund Burke among you who, ponderous in action and slow in action will yet cause future students to wade through tedious lengths of discourse? Coming from Freeman, Edson wisely decided to let 'OG stand after his name and plugged along with us through four short years of school life. In What's Next? Edson did full justice to the part of Mr. Maddeiga rather eccentric artist. Next year he will spend at Cornell, experimenting with as large doses of learning as may be conveniently swallowed. Civil Engineering will be his hobby and his friends may look forward to railroads going up to castles in the air in the near future. William James Pead, Jr. WILLIAM JAMES PEAD, Jr. Willie graduated from the Drury Grammar School, although we are told that he obtained his knowledge from several grammar schools in the city. Although Will is small of stature he has a large heart, and a smile for everyone. He has gained great renown in his ability to run an auto, and many are the times we have come very near being run over by his horseless carriage. While at Drury he has entered into the life of the school with a will having come out for the track team and also having taken part in the Senior farce. He al- ways did the most difficult problems in Advance Mathematics with the greatest ease, and astonished us all by his wonderful sayings in Physics' class. His many friends at Drury wish him success in the Mass. School ot Tech. where he is going next year. 29
