f EDWARD JOHN JERDO N Jake is another of our westenders, but unlike the others he is always chasing rainbows, and has found the end of the rainbow on Blackinton Street. He is not a man of few words, and always expresses himself in a very peri- phrastical manner. As an oratorical genius, Jake is well known and very highly appreciated. One of his orations won him the honor of shaking hands with our new superintendent, hir. Burr J. hlerriam. Eddie was a member of the Senior cast and did as well as any in playing the part of Prof. James. He succeeded in getting many laughs by using extraordinary an extraor- dinarily large number of times. Jake is one of the few in our midst who have talent along several lines. Besides being an orator, he is well posted in chemistry and was offered a position as substitute to lllr. Oliver. Then last, but not least, comes Jake's love for law. It has been said that a jury is sometimes won over by the effects of a lawyer's plea. If this is true, Jake is a success. He proved his ability in a mock trial in an oral English class, and although he was defeated, we are sure he will make good after spending four years or more at Georgetown Uni- versity where he intends to complete his studies. EARLE IXIARCUS JENNINGS HD Iiaselfall .Q Mickey hails from the west end and therefore, has boosted railway stocks considerably. His hardest task while at Drury was dodging the fair sex and in this, we must give him credit for his excellent work as he certainly did keep his distance from them. While not permanently engaged, Earle took tickets at the lunch counter and many a good feed have we had on him. He showed his grit by sticking to baseball and earning a permanent position on the team Earle will, without doubt, follow the footsteps of our great business men as he graduates from the business side, where he proved io be a good fellow QQ

FLORENCE BL ANCHE JEANTON, FLEE-FLEEH Classlfool. Baslret ball 1, Pro lllerifo 4 - ALICE MARY HYDE Al's', serious moments are few and far between. She is always jolly and ready for fun. Although she never worries much about her lessons she manages to get by. Al's,, hardest trial is getting to school at 7 57, a feat of which she can seldom boast. She will take away the best wishes of the class and will long endure in our minds. Al is undecided about her future, but whatever she does, '19 wishes her the best of luck. Aha! VVe caught her laughing again or we might say yet, because Florence goes around laughing from morning until night. She never worries 1nucl1 except when reports come out, and without cause then, for Florence is na- turally bright, being a member of the Pro Rlerito Society. Florence played on the basketball team this year and evoked a good deal of criticism on the part of her opponent because she tended so strictly to her business of guard- ing. She Was in the Senior play, too, and she says that she was never so tempted in all her life to say No, as she was on that eventful night, llay 23, 1919. Florence intends to enter the business world, and we know that she doesn't need to have success wished upon her. Wle hate to have her leave us, but she's too good to keep so we'll share her with some lucky employer. Q1

JANIIESON DOUGLAS KENNEDY D Football 4 Academe Siaj' J, Athletic Editor Class Book Jimmy,, has been a loyal supporter of the class of 1919. He served as manager of the football team during an unusually hard period, and has always been ready to lead a long Drury yell for the team. He was also a member of the baseball squad during his senior year. His work as Professor lllagee in the Senior play was also commendable. In his studies, Jamieson has al- ways favored chemistry and English, more especially the latter, in which it was his delight to delve far into the mysteries of the analysis of grammatical forms. I ff' GRACE MAE KNIGHTS Grace and Ret are inseparable, perhaps because they have one thing in common-same color hair. Grace is generally quiet except when she is Within her own domain, which is rooms Q9, 39, and 28. Here she has as much to say as her classmates. Our best wishes for success go with Grace and we hope that the space left by her departure will be capably filled. 23
