HARRIET ESTHER HYDE Esther HI-Iappy am I, from care I am jree, Why aren't they all contented lilfe me? Bashetlnall -3, .Q Ah! Here she comes, her face lit up with smiles. Esther is a happy-go- lucky girl who lets nothing Worry her. She is always full of fun and ready for a good time. Esther is a great athlete, and for two' seasons now she has been our star forward in basketball. Esther usually gets enough points herself to beat the opposing team and sometimes she even gives a handicap to boot. Next to basketball, Esther shines at stenography, and in the future she should grace some exquisite oflice as the pretty Mstenogl' of a multi-millionaire. REBECCA RUSSELL HYDE Becca Would that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that check! Assistant Editor oj Academe It Class Book I, Band 3, If Sec. Athletic Assn. 4 Class Basketball Q, 3, lf Rebecca has always been a most helpful member of our class. She has helped make our social events successful by her constant presence-what would we have done without her? She loves the social life and might easily be called our social butterfly . Yet she never neglects her studies for dates or dances, if you don't believe it, go to the oflice at Drury and see for yourself her brilliant record. She is the happy -est person We know of and could never be guilty of a grouch. Her natural curly shingle-bob is the envy of many of our girls- for it contributes largely to her reputation as our best looking girl. 27

MARY CHARLOTTE LEWIS I.ewy A certain miracle of symmetry, A miniature of loreliness, all grace Summecl up and closed in lzttlex lllary, slze So liglzt of joot, so liglzt of spirit. Class Play 4 U Academe Stajj .L Band 3, .4 Mary was the star of our Class play, Polly VVith A Past , and in the role of Polly we found an admirable actress. However, you saw the play and nothing more need be said there-it spoke for itself. Lewy has taken a Classical Course and is Very fond of Latin as all who have taken it can verify. She roams our halls with a smile upon her lips always-which usually ends in a hearty laugh. Our proms. and receptions have usually found lNIary present-so the boys always enjoy the dance. CLAX TON ARTHUR MADISON D Clayt'l lVIatt Matty And great was the jall thereof. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Football 3 Basketball 1, Q, 3, .4 Track 3, .lt Notice those clean-cut, athletic features. lNIatty is the first four-letter man that Drury has had in many years. I-Ie can high-jump and hurdle with the best of them, and on the basketball court he cuts a mean figure, while in baseball, Matt has no equal. Although Clayt is not a member of the band, he takes special interest in that organization, and with the most suitable and able help is fast learning how to swing a baton. In fact, he takes a lesson 'most every night. Clayt is going to New York University next year, and we soon hope to be reading once again of his extraordinary athletic ability. Q9
