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

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

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
