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

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

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
