Eddie, while appear- ing to he of a happy-go-lucky-nature, carefree and bold and all that. really is of a most sensitive and gentle, nay, 'even poetic, nature. Eddie's sorrow is that no one seems to understand him. Eddie was dealt a big handicap when he came to Drury in his Junior year, but he has made as many friends in our class as there are members of t.he class. No matter how thick the dark cloud, Eddie will find a silver lining. and he certainly will he hard to put down and out when he gets out into the world. NORMAN FREDERICK HEGGIE 6'Nonnie What rirgivfs cheek Can match this apple bloom? Yes, that's Nonnie , that tall, quiet-looking chap with the red hair. Nonnie is one of those very few fellows who have more friends than enemies. Nonnie is a great boy for practical jokes, that is, if they're not on him. W'e all remember the time he put the Lord's Transfer sign on San 9oucie's hearse. Even taxi men must have their fun.

GERTRUDE JUNE FOURNIER Gert thousand cupids from her eyes Shoot all at once at me. ,lssistcmt Director Qt C'lc1ss Play. Gert , the happy-go-lucky, is a favorite among all her friends. She is always merry, and a frown is seldom seen on her smiling face. She was very successful as assistant director in the Senior Play, and as a typist-well-just ask Mr. Costello. Gert expects to be a business lady next year, though with that certain red Mercer seen on East Quincy Street so frequently-who knows? But whatever Gert does, all the luck and best wishes of 19Q4 go with her. FLRDIN AND GAGLIARDI Gag UA nd when lze spoke his words did gather thunder as they ran.

But above all, he makes friends with everybody, and his enemies haven't yet been born. Fred is the kind of boy who gets his work done first, no matter what the cost, and he is one who would b-e safe to anchor to in a pinch. He is going to help uphold the honor of Drury at VVilliams next year, and it will be safe to predict that he will add a little to it. 241

JOSEPH GEORGE HOROWITZ D Gidge Ii fakes brains fo put up a good bluff. Football 4 Acafleme Staff 4 Haykfilyall 4 Track .4 Class Boolr 4 Despite his numerous extra-curriculum activities, George has always man- aged to keep his name on the honor roll. George is admitted to be one of the best-looking boys in the senior class. He admits it himself. He has been trying for six weeks now to find out who the girl was who voted for him as the best-looking fellow in the Senior Class. He says it is so pleasant to meet someone with similar tastes. George's ability as a practical joker is shown by the.fact that he once succeeded in April-fooling hir. lVIcGrory, a feat which reflects considerable glory on anyone's brain power. Next year he will be wearing a little round headgear with a green button on top, and we pity the VVilliams Sophomores when they begin to match wits with him. MILDRED HOYVLAND Mildred Silence is golden. Here is Mildred, a most demure little Miss. lVIildred has been very faithful in her attendance, considering the distance she has had to come to school. But then, Mildred is not easily discouraged, and a little snow or rain did not dismay her. Next year she plans to go to Normal and later become a teacher. but her best friends doubt it because of a certain person who lives in Maine. VVe al- ways wondered why she was so interested in that section of the country, but now the secret is out. Anyway, the class of 1924 wishes her the best of luck whether she goes to Normal School or to Nlaine. Q6
