I ,Q ' ..,'.g' PAI 'Ll N Ii A X D Rl-IXY Pauline's Faculty was the hit of the evening at our class banquet. But then they were all friends oi' hers and especially Mr. Kearney. Until this year she was always a demure little girl but as a Senior she got over this and tyrannized over the poor underclasses as if she enjoyed it. Her presence always brightens things and perhaps this is why our school dances of late have been such successes. She is always the center of an admiring and talkative group of girls who have a desire lor pointers. XYe hope her success of Normal next year will be great. LAVVRENCE ARPIN Q A fb Lawrence commonly known as Frenchie is extremely popular with the girls. He entered Drury with the class of 1911 but ai-ter a year he found that the faculty could not possibly pull the glorious class of 1912 through without his help so he resolved to remain. He assisted Mr. Kearney and the class wonderfully by his helpful QPD remarks in Chemistry. His athletic ability must be considered as he made a good showing at the triangular meet. lYhen we look into the future it is hard to picture Lawrence as any thing other than the captivating hero of a thrilling play because of his rolling eyes and curly hair. ltl willb, she can easily t-urn her hand to lecturing ROBERT BOLAND. D 9 A CID Bob is our model for the latest clothing styles, exhibiting every change of fashion throughout the year. He has been very active during his four years with us, taking part in all of the musical and dramatic productions put on the stage by our school. As he has been pr-ominent in social events and scholar- ship records so also has he been in athletics, having won his letter this last year in football. To assure ourselves of his ability as a singer we have only to look up his record as a member of the Kid Quartet in the minstrels of our Freshman year. His dramatic talents were shown by his excellent pre- sentation of 'l.7VIfzx Harkafwayn in our class play. Bob has also been very prominent in fraternity circles. He plans to enter the clothing business with his father and we know he will succeed there as he has with us. ll AURORA BISSAILLON What's that, an earthquake? No, that is only Aurora entcrt uning in admiring circle of friends. VVe always know when she is around lor otherwi e there seems to be a deathlike silence. Next year we shall see Aurora trudging up Normal Hill, and if she does not succeed at teaching Cthough wc know she DXYICHT BRAIXARD Dwight is the big 'nu ol' the elass. and whenever any one strains his neck severely enough to obtain a view ol' IJwigh1r's laee. there is always a cheerful smile ol' greeting. He provecl himself an excellent hero in our play. portraying the artlent lover with sueh naturalness that ean e mme only with experience. He is a favorite with the girls. a i4ellow with the boys, a Curiosity with the freshmen and is alsm very popular with the faeulty who Chose him to speak at gracluation. Although he has been busy cluring his spare moments selling butter antl eheese, he has now forsaken this for a more aetive business career in Boston, his new home. XYe wish him all kincls of luck in his new work. FRANK ES BU RNS Franees is our silver tonguetl orator , her eloquenee only being equalletl by the Peerless One NV. Bryan. Her work in the Kappa Phi Alpha speaking eontest is above Comparison, while she was equally brilliant at grad- uation. She always makes her presence felt, though unostentatiously. and her smile is Well known to all. Her brillianey in Class is a matter ol' Com- - ment, it being on this score that she was ehosen to speak at graduation. lf SEWARD BYAM HD E A X Seward is probably the first boy who has been a Junior and a Senior class president. His abilities also run in literary, argumentative and dramatic lines for he has been Editor-in-Chief of the Academe, vice-president and pres- ident of the Debating Society and an actor in our class play. He is also a track man of some ability for he has been on this team for three years and this year won the 440-yard dash at the Triangular meet. He also attends nearly all the social events, the dances having claimed him for the last three years. Thus he has been active in nearly every branch of high school life and with all has kept up a high standing in scholarship. Seward intends to enter Brown University in September and the best wishes of his classmates for his success there go with him. AMELIA CARBONE Another brilliant light now blanks our vision. Wliile most of us are exulting over a C, Amelia is nonchantly gazing at five or six A's. She also amazed the huge audience at graduation, being chosen to speak on that oc- casion by the faculty. The term shark might be applied to her in almost any subject, and it is a safe rule for teachers to accept her recitations as gospel truth. She has the best wishes of Nineteen Twelve for her future. l3 E .. t gf 15 L KATH liRl N Ii CARLEY Katherine is the only young lady in the class who hails from the Kemp Park district, but in spite of the distance she has always been on hand early. On entering high school Katherine came to the decision that she would not care to stay in the delightful CFD building more than three years, and there- fore graduated this year instead of next which would have been at the expira- tion of a four year period. She has been an enthusiastic member of Der Deutscher Vereinu and having studied German Kami es sehr gut sprechenf' lVe wish Katherine good luck and hope she conquers Normal next year as she has Drury. ARTHUR CARRIER f VVe are awfully sorry that Arthur could not have spent more of his school days with us but being buried in the wilds of Readsboro he never heard of Drury or the famous class of 1912 until one day he was informed of our exis- tence and he thereupon rushed down the mountain and up Drury Lane into our glorious midst. Arthur is very reserved and only a chosen few of our sociable fair sex were rewarded with a smile from him. This young man is also extremely studious and we know by the ambitious expression on his face when he received his diploma that he will surely succeed in whatever he attempts. 1-L 5-'56, 0- ' 9 ,Li 1 f. 1' ,Jkim wt? ,W THERESA CAVANAUGH When it comes to story writing Theresa has it on all of us. Her abil- ity in this line has been well known in English work and to the Academe man- agement for several years but, strange to say, it Clidn't help her in lVlr. Kearney's Chemistry tests. She has been very popular with us and we regret that the time has come when we shall see her ever-present smile and hear her cheerful voice less frequently. Theresa will attend Normal next year and we know Good Fortune will accompany her. JosEPH coFF1LL Q W 'W ws Joe IS one of the small boys but even so we always know when he is f , 'E around for he is always talking. He came from Freeman with his pleasant M-- smile which has never left his face from that time. He is noted as being one of Mr. Kearney's favorites as he got through Physics and Chemistry and still received some knowledge. Joe is rather undecided as to what he will do but r whatever he undertakes we are sure he will be successful. ff l5 Another one from Klark Hopkins' ranks was lftlis. He has been out for lwaselmall and was a memher of the ehampionship star nine this spring. He also playecl loothall tlnring his senior year. He has never enteretl into the social events very much lint was always interestecl in the sporting sitle. He is thinking oi' entering 'littlts College next Fall. and the Imest wishes of the Class go with him. ALCIDE COURCHI-IXIQ D tl A ll' Aleicle is one of the few who have heen with us a little less than four years. owing to the faet that he was absent several weeks this winter lmeeause ol' sickness. But in spite of this he is reatly to leave with the rest. Cook is noted as a football hero, having playecl during his tirst three years. His musical ability is of note also as he was hall' of the tenor part at gratluation. He expects to enter Amherst Aggie next year and we sencl with him our hest wishes. lli MARGUERITE DEMING Marguerite is the possessor of an ever-present smile, and the cheerfulness and good nature that this fact implies is well known to all. She has missed very few dances during her four years with us and she therefore justifies her reputation as a leading Social VVhirl of the class. In fact she has been so active in this line that she has found less time for study than some, but this fact never bothered Marguerite as she firmly believes All's well that ends well. And with her all ended well. Margtiperite does not wish to give up her high school friends yet so she will remain at home next year. LOUISE EATON As our prophet, Louise predicted many things for us, but as our class- mate we think it easier to tell her future. She is very popular with the school iiii as a whole, and the alumni as she is with us. As junior vice-president she lguug showed her excellent taste by helping choose our class pins. The dances that Louise has missed during her four years at Drury are very few, and it N is said that the events would not seem natural without her. To prevent this lack of naturalness in the coming year Louise has decided to stay at home and therefore will probably be present at the social functions as usual. It is rumored that in case she doesn't remain in the city she may travel for a time but in any case the best wishes of Nineteen Twelve are for her. 17 HARRY FORMHALS l l ' dt Jartment. He has not attended our h but nevertheless he has made himself known in a quiet '5 Harry hails from tie Jusmess -1 is 3 g . . .. 'K social festivities muc way. Owing to the fine education tHo!J he has received at Drury, und1.mubtedly he will some day surprise us by his business achievements. He seemed to have little desire to graduate with us till Senior year and then, apparently the class had some great attraction for him for he at once won Doctor over to his way of thinking and actually got through easier than many who had made the same decision four years ago. Although undecided as to what he will do ndxt year we know the future ias go g WILSON B. GALLUP Yes, Wilson is the boy from down near the Normal School who hailed from Mark Hopkins. He has lead a noble life while at Drury, excepting this last year during which he has changed wonderfully, that is, from a quiet, peaceful boy into an awful cut-up . It may have perhaps been caused by the 'fompanyl' in the senior room. He is at present a little undecided as to what he will do next year, but his ambitions point toward Boston Law School or maybe that of Theology . XYhereyer he goes we wish him the best of success. 18 l ff od things in store for him. SPURR GOULD, K fb A Spurr is long and lengthy, always getting into tight places but sliding through in the end. He believes that the Parcel Post system should be established in the High School because his mail always comes in parcels or bundles and in that way it would avoid changing hands on the stairs. His mind was usually far from his class room excepting fourth period in the senior room. He too, is rather undecided as to what he will do next year but whatever he does, we wish him luck. 1, LILLIAN HADFIELD In order to enjoy Drury more Lillian picked out the best class in history and early in our Senior year left 1911 to join us. In spite of the fact that she seems rather quiet she is an active conversationalist and can hold her own in that line with any one. Although undecided about next year Lillian feels she can tackle anything for did she not pass Miss Spencer's Senior German not- withstanding her sickness and Miss Spencer's objections? However, we know she will succeed anywhere and everywhere and expect to hear great things about her. 19 as 45 ff Q 5? 1 . i at ig, , if - 3 'T p -e 'tl' fm 17 FRANK E. HARRIMAN, K fb .X Although Frank did not receive his diploma with the rest ol the Class. his Work surely warrants a place in the elasslnook. Frank Came to Drury with I A - 1913, and his efforts to graduate with 1912 will lie appreciated by all. To lail in such a manner is not failure. l-le will olmtain his diploma in September. and then will attend the Tufts Medical School. .f f , HAROLD HICKOCK 3, Here is our shark in the Sciences Never unprepared, but always sharing his knowledge. Although not athletieally inclined, his support ol' the teams never waned. Next year he will Continue his pursuit of knowledge in W. P. I., having obtained a scholarship for that institution. 20 MARION HUTCHINGS Marion is one of our most popular and active girls. She is a singer of renown, having taken parts admirably in both the 'lPirates of Penzance and Pinafore . Her solo at graduation was well rendered. Marion is an actress of great ability also, for in our London Assurancel' she took the part of Lady Gay Spanker in a most charming manner which quite captivated the hearts of the audience. She has attended most of the dances and also the games during her time with us and in the latter case was always ready to give our athletes the applause they so well merited. We hope her presence at Normal next year will give as much pleasure to herself and her teachers as has been the case while at Drury. ISADORE JAFFE Isadore's knowledge of Chemistry bids fair to rival even Mr. Kearney's. When the rest of the class is Hstucku by one of his far-famed examples, they all turn to Isadore. Next year will see him in business with his father. 21 eg CYRIL JORDAN KN, , President of Der Deutscher Vereinf' XYho fails to remember that 5. 1 . , . gp cb, 1 ' famous one-half mile race where all records were almost lmroken by Lyril. ik all-0 The pace he set kept every one guessing. He has kept the same pace in his studies being chosen to speak for scholarship at graduation. His acting in Q Senior Dramatics was of the same high order. for as Cool his work left Y the nothing to be supplied. His next scene ol' activity will be YYilliams. JOSEPH I. KATSH 3 Joe is a particular friend of Mr. Kearney and lNfIicke3'. He has main- tained a high standard through his course in scholarship, and has an en- viable record. Although he did not come out for any of the teams, he aid- ed them all materially. Next year he will break up the classes in XYilliams. Q., FRANK KRETZ Frank came to join our honored ranks early in our senior year. He is such a newcomer that we really do not feel well acquainted with him even yet. He was a member of the class of 1911 before going to Denver. Un his return, he recognized the superiority of 1912 and therefore he graduates with us. Frank has not yet drunk deeply enough of the fountain of knowledge at Drury, so he will return for a P. G. next year. He has our best wishes for a splendid CZITCET. ' Wvez..w. ' MARTHA MCADOO ' we Martha is one of the few persons in our class with whom little or no fault can be found. She has been Very quiet but she has generally been on hand for our class functions and always for her school work. If Martha was wanted we always looked for Pauline and if Pauline was wanted we looked for Martha, for where one was, there was the other also, in brief they were almost inseparable. We expect they will keep each other company at Normal and so our best wishes will accompany her there. 23 XYILLIAM Mchl.-XHUN. IJ E A X Billy is always ready for a good time. XYhere there's fun, there's Billy , and where Billy is, there's lun. He is not much for study, but he has a remarkable ability for guessing which helps out famously. He is an athlete of renown, distinguishing himself on the track and as quarterback in the loothall games. I-le was School Notes lidilor oi' the :Xcademe hlunior Year. Although his future is in doulrt we know it will lie a grand one, lor. how could it he otherwise, with his own personality and the good wishes of the class he cannot help lint succeed. FLORENCE McKliNDRlCK Florence has been one of the privileged ones for whenever she slept over and came in fifteen minutes late she could escape punishment hy merely saying Car was late. But we think her early t?l morning ride from Black- inton must have agreed with her for she ever greeted us with a smiling face. Florence was one of the lew girls who attempted Mr. lN'lcIntyre's advanced course in Review Math. and having attempted it, came through with flying colors. She took part in both A'The Pirates and Pinafore . Florence has our best wishes to accompany her to Normal next year. 2-l GEORGE MEIERS Q A CID George, big leaguer and chemistry shark, has been with us for three years having entered Drury with 1913. Bope is a pitcher, having been on our squad for two years. And with all he is well liked by the teachers who chose him to speak at graduation. George intends to study Chemistry in the South either next year or the year after. He has the best wishes of the class to take with him. JAMES MERRITT, D , E A X James, or Jimmie , as he is more often called, has tried nearly every thing Drury has to offer, of social, intellectual or athletic nature. He was president of his class sophomore year, and secretary junior year. He was full back on the foot ball eleven, short stop on the baseball nine and captain of the basket ball team, all in the senior year. However, Jimmie was captain also of the Champ basketball team of 1911. He is also a celebrated actor, having played the part of Richard Dazzle in London Assurance to per- fection. And withal he stood high in his classes. His name will be handed down to posterity as the best of the type of the all-around boy of the famous class of 1912. He was chosen to speak at graduation by his class. We expect great things of l'Jimmie . He will attend M. I. T. next fall, and our best wishes will accompany him. 2 5 RAY NORCROSS MARGARET M ULCARE Mill is one ol Drury's loyal fans , as there has been very few games ol' any kind that she has missed. She has also always been on hand at the dances, showing that she has many admirers among the other sex. ln French class she has had a great clealof difficulty in making herself heard. however this trait isn't in evidence elsewhere. The coming generation will be enlightened by the knowledge she has obtained from Drury, as she expects to grace the Normal halls next fall. , f' X Ray is one of those yery quiet boys who never disturbs the universe with the noise of his earthquakes. He has been attending school in the same build- ing for quite a number of years, for he entered our class from Drury Grammar School in 1908. That was at a time when Drury Grammar consisted of more than its present first grade. Ray has come along as placidly as if lessons were the least of his troubles. He is one of a very few Seniors, with whom it is impossible to pick a quarrel. He may have a temper, but he never showsit. Ray is undecided as to his future career. lllhatever it is, we are sure it will be an honor to our class and Alma Mater. 26 ADELAIDE OLIVER Adelaide is one of our quiet? classmates, but always ready for fun. During the four years she has been at Drury, she has taken a great interest in all the social events of school. She was among those who Worked long hours over- time When Mr. Chambers put on the l'Pirates and l'Pinafore . She has A a Way of making her gentlemen classmates mind her more than the rest of girls. 2 is As to the future, she has no definite plans, but We wish her success in whatever she undertakes. .. 3 ,...,.,.. ,I ' L WILLIAM PEACOCK The boy soldier is mightily interested in The Boy Scout Movement of America , for, because of important services rendered, he was made an officer of that order. His Kappa Essay too was a treatise on that subject. J , He has rather a Weak voice, at least so We should judge from the diminutiveness of the noise which he makes in the class room. We must not, however, judge the quality of his work by the size of his voice, since he is a veritable shark in chemistry. He is undecided as to what he will do in the future, but good luck to Bill wherever he may be. ,Z 'Q 27 M ELYIX PEAD Melvin really should have had his picture taken as Dolly . the part he ' so ably took in London Assurance. Besides being an actor. he plays the violin. He played in the school orchestra as long as it existed. and also helped to furnish musie at the meetings of Der Deutscher Vert-in. He confesses that at one time he was very scared that he would have to be a senior next 'ear too, but we are ha my to say that his di vloma came to him safely, after l l . - all. He says that he's been going to Drury lor twelve years. and. as he doesn t know quite where he'll go next year. he may add another year to this record. and take a P. G. MARION PLUMB lVlarion has known Drury a few years longer than her classmates. as her grammar years were spent in the crumbling walls of Xoah's Ark . During her Sophomore 'year her ability as a student was brought out in the highest degree, as she was Mr. Phillip's old stand-by, the had very few as you will remembe-r.D This training stood her in gnd stead during the rest of her high school course, and at graduation she had the honor of being chosen to speak because of her scholarship. Next fall she expects to take a P. G. at Drury. is JOSEPHINE REED Jo will have to be given first rank in our class for her scholarship. She once said she would like to be the President of a collegeg she'll get there in the Hsweet by and by if she has a few more subjects to conquer. The Academe editors have been very much gratified at the splendid work she has done for them, and have dubbed her the Hstar reporter. The girls say she has all the latest styles in feminine fmery and so the class as a whole will have to take their word for it. She intends to help some of the wayward underclassmen on their way again next year, as old Drury still has more knowledge to impart to our four years comrade. CARL RICKARDS, D E A X Rick , the wonder at third base. Besides playing great baseball, he is a great speaker, having walked off with second prize at this year's prize- speaking. Being of an imaginative turn of mind, he chose as his subject, Half-Forgotten Stories of American History, realizing probably that if he got short of stories, he could make up a few yarns, and nobody would be the wiser. For four years, he has taken a joy-ride to school every morning from Blackinton. We think they must have been joy-rides, judging from his smiling looks. He is undecided as to what he will do next year but We know it will be something worthy of him in any case. 29 ELIZABETH E. RIGBY Elizabeth is one of the new members of our class who 'oin l i A . ' J et us a trifie late, but nevertheless, she soon became a member in good standing of the class ffi i fi ti., - and soon the fact that she was a foreigner was forgotten. Her future ,Q A course is as yet undecided but our best wishes are with her just the same , gu I ii H.: 5 'R HAROLD SCHREIBER, E A X Although he doesn't make a lot of noise about it, there are few in our class who have been more popular during their years at Drury than Hap . He is one of the Old Faithfuls . He has stuck to Latin through thick and thin and has persevered and survived the harder subjects whichlead to college. He played great foot-ball until he hurt his back. XYe all wish him the best of success at VVilliams next year. 30 ts: if 9 f' .4 s IRVING SMITH, HD K fb A Some think that Turk is the Apollo of the Senior class. It may be for this reason that he hasn't got his diploma yet, although he has hopes of getting it in September. To him, school doesn't begin until the middle of second period, and about intermission, thinking of home and mother , he beats it. He was manager of the foot-ball team last year. His future career is as yet undecided. It depends on that diploma. WILLARD SPARROW Willard is one of our most faithful classmates. His constant presence at our class meetings makes him deserve much praise. Birdy has a quiet nature but for once his underlying spirit shook Drury's Walls when having donned long trousers, he became involved in a row, the results of which were several bruises and not all on himself by any means. Willard has not decided what he will do next year but he has our best wishes just the same. 31 -Q ,,.hv W x , will SAIDIIQ SPITZI-QR Szulie is very quiet. In fact. were it not for her class-room work, we lmrcrlly knew she was in the class. Although she cligl not So in for the social side much, her loyal support was fell in all other lmrnnches. She will grace Normal School with her presence next year. I-A RUTH S Fli IX N, - , ' . 's - 4 X E The only time Ruth makes any noise is when she airs her opinion in Mr. Kez1rney's clziases. But her opinions are well worth considering even hy the ff great Kearney. Her school work has always been up to the highest stanclarcl. and We all go to her when we are unprepared. Normal school girls please , , A. , ' K Cie take notice. . y 0 um l eo-' Y N9 ' 32 HAZEL TOOLAN FLORENCE STOCKWELL Flossie Cplease don't call me thatj is one of our three year pupils. She is extremely vivacious, and if one went to sleep in a class she was in, it was their own fault. No game would be complete without Florence on the side-lines. In fact she was as much a necessity at the games as the team itself. Next year we shall see her enthroned in her own home at Briggsville. In Hazel we see the most popular girl of two classes. She entered High school with Nineteen Thirteen and at once was elected vice-president and then Finding that they couldn't keep pace with her in scholarship she caught up with us in our Junior year which was her second year. It took us but a short time to realize who she was and by her election to the Senior vicc-presi- dency this year her standing as the most popular girl in the class and school was proclaimed. Hazel has been ever present at social events of all kinds connected with Drury, and with all her activities her scholarship has been nearly perfect. That she has a talent for acting was shown by her excellent performance as f'Grace , the leading lady in our class play. She was chosen by the class to speak at graduation which she did in a manner which again reflected honcr on herself and the class, Hazel intends to either enter Smith or come back for a P. G. in the fall, but in either case the heartiest wishes for her good luck will be with her. 33 f If K jAlXll-IS WELCH, D, 9 A fb james XYeleh is another member of the business department.

BLANCI-Ili XYHITMURE Blanche is nearly the one person in the class that ean't possibly keep a smile away from her face. Her eheerfulness has often done mueh to brighten up a dark day. It seems as if such things as mere studies eouldn't bother Blanehe and we almost believe they ean't, but appearances are deceiving, so you never can tell. Having enjoyed Drury as an underelassman and as a Senior, she intends to find out how it seems to a graduate and therefore will be back as a HP. G. If Blanehe's future is as bright as her smile her career will be shining and if our wishes count in this matter it will be so. 34 S4- ISABEL VVHITNEY Isabel was very near the top when it coines to scholarship for it was l l ' h cause of this that her chance to speak at graduation came. Isa Je is very e quiet but when she does speak it counts. She has, since our class ride and banquet, the reputation of having the best w1nk in the class. Although her plans for next year are not definitely settled yet we know she will be successful. 35 Qllauaa Qiaturg Four long years ago emerging from all suburbs of the city, the class of 15112 entered the sacred walls of Drury. Trembling with fear, we went from room to room eyery moment in dread of being clutched by an upper- classman and thrown into the coal-hole or worse yet hurled down banks and into bushes. Xone the worse for the hazing feats practised on them, the boys with great fervor entered athletics. At the close of this well-remembered year, we bade farewell to two beloved teachers. Less fearful as sophomores than we were as freshmen, we entered more liyely into the life of the school. Although we had been told many times by our superiors, we soon discovered for ourselves that Platte Geometry under the severe supervision of Mr. Phillips was not the easiest subject we could attack. Cupid's arrow soon found its way to our facultyw-hence, three teachers, kind and faithful deserted our honored ranks. Once again, the majority of the class of 1912 assembled in the honored walls of old Drury. The basket- ball team was a grand one and with pride we allude to our two stars-Yadnais and Merritt. Our Kappas were discovered among the honored ones-Frances Burns capturing one of the prizes. The Pirates of Penzance successfully played at the Empire Theatre showed that a good share of us had no end of ability in that direction. HDignified seniors at last, we returned to brighten our already too crowded brain? We were admitted to Mr. Kearney's sacred place of dreadful odors, where we were taught to observe things with our own eyes . In this year as well as last, Latin with Doctor was by no means a very easy task. Our farees gave proof of our aptitude for theatrical work. VVe had our share in the Pinafore which was the most successful pro- duction ever put on the stage during our course at Drury. 36 With the subsequent urgency of examinations and harassing preparations, we ended our High School career. Although we previously thought with delight of our coming graduation, we now think of it with sorrow, for it means the end of all good times at Drury. Thus our history draws to a close. Graduates-we find ourselves after strenuous efforts. Soon we will part and our paths in life will diverge. May we all reverence Drury and the class of 1912, and maintain her teachings and honor for all eternity. -Amelia Carbone Gilman lgrnphvrg After an absence of several years, I returned to my old home in North Adams to spend my summer va- cation. It was a bright day in june in the year 1925. I started out to make some calls on my schoolmates who were living in the city. I first called on one of my girl friends who was formerly Miss Florence Stockwell, but who married shortly after graduating from High School. Our conversation at once turned to the happy days spent at Drury. I began asking questions concerning the members of the class with whom she had kept in touch. She told me that Pauline Andrews and Martha McAdoo kept hairdressing parlors in the Kimball Block. Frank Harriman owned a large wholesale clothing house in Burnham, Mass., Ray Norcross is employed as a traveling salesman and Miss Fannie Whitney as head bookkeeper. Marion Hutchings was to sing in a concert to be given in Boston the following week. Lillian Hadiield was traveling with Miss Hutchings as her companion. , A Florence had recently returned from a motor trip through Franklin and Berkshire counties, and she had stopped at Carl Rickards large summer hotel in Colrain. Philip Pike was employed as clerk and Ruth Stein 3 7 as head waitress. Among the recent guests registered at the hotel were: Adelaide Oliver who had just written a book of Short Stories , and Marion Plumb and Hazel Toolan, who had just published a bank on Athletics for Girls. Dwight Brainard, who was traveling through that part of the state giving illustrated lectures on American History had also registered there. After leaving Florence's home I intended to call on Margaret Mulcare who was recently married and was living in Blackinton, but I met Theresa favanaugh who was visiting her parents in town. She told me she was living in XVilmington, Delaware, and was writing short stories for the Cosmopolitan Magazine. After leaving Miss Cavanaugh, I got on a Blackinton car. Not knowing where Margaret lived I asked the conductor, Melvin Pead. He directed me to a large house next to the otiice of the Barber Leather Co. Margaret told me that Florence lNIcKendrick was district nurse in Blackinton. Frank Kretz owned the new Empire Theatre. The Spring Maid was playing that night, sa we decided to attend. I found that two members of the company were former classmates. They were Catherine Carley and Billy McMahon. I was much surprised to learn that Josephine Reed was posing in a large Art Gallery in Paris. George Meiers had just returned from Paris, having been sent by the United States Government to an international convention of Chemists. After a pleasant visit with Margaret I started back to North Adams. Upon my arrival I found the daily papers were out. I bought a paper and went quietly home. On the front page were the pictures of two of Blackinton's most popular young people, namely Cyril -Iordan and Frances Burns. Un reading the thrilling account I found the young couple had eloped in an automobile, but were caught upjin their arrival in Pittsfield by James IYelch a policeman of that city. I glanced over the advertisements and found the name of Isadore Jaffe. proprietor of a dry-goods store on Main Street. Amcng the classified Ads was the name of Lawrence Arpin. dancing teacher. His assistants were Isabel VVhitney and Harry Formhals. 38 In the personal notes I found that Robert Boland, a prominent Boston lawyer, was registered at the Richmond Hotel. And among the recent marriages were those of Blanche Wliitmore and Sadie Spitzer. Cvoing along a little farther I saw that Marguerite Deming was check cashier in Apothecary Hall. Miss Elizabeth Rigby had just sailed for London as private secretary to Seward Byam, president of a New York Steel Corporation. Turning over the page, I found an article under the Readsboro, Vt. news, which interested me. It was an account of the recent appointments made by the Mayor, Arthur Carrier. He had given the appoint- ment of Commissioner of Public VVorks to Harold Hickock, and that of Chief of Police to joe Coffil, Civil Engineer, Edis Cohen. On the opposite page was an announcement which attracted my attention. Aurora Bissaillon would speak on Woman's Rights in Odd Fellows hall that evening. After laying aside the paper I picked up the Annual City Report. In this I found a picture of the new High School building, with a detailed account of the opening. I found the names of two of my classmates on the faculty. VVilson Gallup. teacher of Ancient and Bib- lical History and Amelia Carbone teacher of Review Mathematics. I then remembered of hearing that james Merritt had the local automobile agency for the 'fMarion , and that Capt. Peacock and Private I. Smith of the Boy Scouts of America were injured in a skirmish the day before, and that Alcide Courchene was the attending physician. After running over the list of my classmates I found there was one of whom I had not learned his where- abouts, Harold Schreiber. I called up the office of Katsh 81 Lenhoff, Information Brokers, and found that Schreiber was teaching Political Economy in VVilliams College. I sat down to think over all I had learned about my classmates, and I resolved to keep track of them all in the future. -Harriett Louise Eaton 39 ltlrnplirrg nn Idruphvt One day while riding around New York in my limousine, I saw a sign reading MADAME PALLADIXO Sceances with the Spirits of both the Living and the Dead. I do not as a rule believe in signs, but my curiosity being awakened by the latter part of the sign. I went in and obtained a sitting with Madame Palladino. She asked me who I wished to appear, and my first thoughts were of my friend of Drury, Louise Eaton. Madame Palladino immediately threw herself into a trance. After a short wait, the table suddenly tilted, and then, to my amazement, went thru many amusing capers. and some that were not very amusing to me. In a deep, tomblike voice, the Madame said: That is the living spirit of Louise Eaton. Oh yes, I answered, I knew that. Louise always had shocking table manners. Then the spirit spoke, after dropping a book Cnot a spirit bookh on my head, her customary method of greeting me. After graduating from Drury, I went to Pittsburgh, and began life as a stoker in Carnegie's steel works. XYith my first week's salary, I bought a half interest, and then I increased my hold until I became what is known as the 'steal trust'. Then I met a struggling young man who graduated from Drury with me. and later from the 'Boston Theological School'. I-Ie struggled hard, but I landed him. We were married in the Church around the Corner, and he is now pastor of that very church. So he would IIOI feel discouraged, and below me, I gave away my immense fortune acquired thru steal, but I hocked the parish house, and maved to a flat. so I now can get along on his small income. After a farewell love tap, the spirit disappeared, or at least I suppse it did, for I heard it no more. I rode down to my VVall Street office. and after putting thru a transaction which netted me a hundred thousand dollars or so, I felt so joyful that I had to tell someone of my talk with Louise, so here I am. -Robert I. Boland -10 Qllnmi will Be it known to all persons, that we, the class of 1912, of Drury High School, in the city of North Adams, being in perfect health cf mind and body, but realizing that we are about to depart from the scenes of our joys and sorrows for broader fields of life, do make and publish this, our last will and testament. Being confident that some time in the near CPD future a new high school is to be built, we hereby bequeath the old building to the ground, to be enjoyed by the worms, and to the new building we generously give At least two more sanitary faucets, to avoid such crowds behind the library door between periods. More whole hcoks in the senior ward-robe. A new pane of glass for the outer door. One case of cement to plug up the mice holes. To the teachers we bequeath: To Miss Thissell, twelve more square feet of blackboard to be used in writing out a French test. To Mr. Thomas, a cuckoo clock in room 2, sixth period, to remind him that his time is up. To the rest of the Faculty, the duty of rearing and caring for the future generations. To the class of 1913, we bequeath 1. That time honored name of 'fSeniors with all the worth and dignity of its predecessors. 2. The privilege of occupying the Senior Room and the front seats in the Assembly Hall. 3. The right to hold a Senior Prom, and be successful socially if not financially. 4. The honor of presenting a farce and losing money thereby. 5. The right to try and force the freshmen to look up to you. 6. Gur kind invitation to be in old Drury when the ceilings tumble down. To the class of 191-1, we bequeath 1. The honor of being the first class to graduate from the new building should 1913 fail. 2. The right to hold a celebrated junior Hop . The privilege and joy of selecting, buying and wearing and losing class pins of disgraceful design and color. 41 To the class of 191.3 we give The honor of being able to torment the freshmen when one ol' the faculty is not around. The right to inHict such punishment as is thought necessary to help them realize they are freshmen. To all entering classes we bequeath the sacred duty ol' upholding the honor of Drury, sccially and intel- lectually, and adding to her envied fame in athletics. In witness thereof and in the presence of the undersigned we do hereunto put our hand and seal. and do publish and declare this to be our last will and testament tn this day of the last sccial time of our class in the year nineteen hundred and twelve. rSignedl Class ui' 1912.

Andrews poem on the faculty which is on the following page. Gllama Sung Old Drury, we must leave thee now, four years our mother kind Your loving care, your watchfulness, we now must leave behind. Your influence will make us great and teach us not to shirk The duties that we must perform in all our daily work. And now, dear classmates, we must part and different tasks pursue So let the tie that binds our hearts be ever strong and true And when in years to come we find that we are far apart Let pleasant memories of the past fill each and every heart. So raise your voices as you sing the praises which are due To Drury and the teachers who have been so kind and true. A blessing give in parting now to all thy children here We'll ever cherish Nineteen Twelve and the name of DRURY dear. -G. Harold Schreiber 43 There is an old building called Drury, That stands on the brink of the hill, And though we're now leaving its portals Fond memories will cling round it still. Wfhen we f'411'St sought its protection as freshmen And won the friendship of our auburn haired Very timidly we would approach him And quake when we heard him say, What? But now that we're seniors and know him As our instructor, advisor and friend, We ever will reverence his memory And to himavote of thanks send. Mr. Thomas, was there ever another just like him? With his pranks and his knowledge galore. NVill we ever forget his favorite expressions f'Now-a-we're not all thinking. Or the poems he'd recite by the score. Perhaps the most genial of the faculty ls Miss Goodwin: and we all know That her favorite pastime ls taking Peg to the show. Dot' wut Illurultg Our most efficient instructor of English ls both learned, sarcastic and droll, And if we ever acquire his knowledge XYe'll feel that we've reached the goal. Xext on our list comes Kliss Radlo, liver ready for lessons and fun. ll is seldom that we Ilunk her subjects And we'll praise her for years to come. Klr. Kearney, the friend of Xliss Radlo, .-Xnd really a friend to us all. ls especially fond of music .-Xnd his voice resounds through the hall. lfrom the backwoods of New Brunswick llails our illustrious Klac, Xkvith his hands in his pockets. he strolls through the hall In search of a frivolous chat. Nliss Thissell, our lfrench teacher XYhose lessons for length can't be beat Has a mania for afternoon sessions And really thinks them a treat. -L4 We've all heard of Casey at the bat. And here's to our Casey his mate His manner is sunny, as well as his hair, And the perfume he uses is great. Vllhen Miss Spencer, our teacher of German, Sets sail on the Vlfhite Star Line, We'll all hope that we can visit her At her castle on the Rhine. Miss Curran, so demure and retiring, And so slow to want privileges given, Is said to be demanding her wishes Which are to be near Room Eleven. Miss Cushing, we might deem coquettish, By the fellows she has at her feet But since she's a classroom favorite We're sure she must be discreet. Mr. Sturtevant is one of the new ones, Who is jolly and seldom gets cross, But if you Want something doing, just start it, and see who's boss. Miss Miller, who has joined us just lately, Has a mind of her own we all know, Though she cites Latin verbs by the hundreds, She has never declined amo . Next on the list is Mrs. Gallup, The faculty's only dame, XN'ho used to give lectures and teach history Long before she changed her name. Mr. Benscoter is so studious That he works with all his might, He often loses track of time And at Drury stays all night. Smith and Miss Thatcher are the other two members And they soon as one will be. For they say that he's popped the question, And we're sure that she'll agree. Last, but not least, comes our Micky VVhose work is to dust and to sweep, But we can't count the times we've found him In the grammar school office asleep. VVe've thought of each one of the faculty, And no matter where We may roam, They will mingle with loving faces VVhenever we think of home.

Your business acumen is not to be disputed, as you showed by your various class functions. In you we see a worthy successor. 191-1, as yet you have shown no startling qualities, but you have yet time to develop. You will have ample chance to shine next year, but do not avail yourself of the time honored custom of going in the hole on your Prom. 1915, it is too early as yet to make a safe judgment of your qualities, but you seem to have a very fine class. Of you we expect great things, do not disappoint us. Underclassmen, all we ask of you is that you make us proud to paint to you as a product of Drury. .31 6 P 'bg FOOTBAL1.
