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
