Siiiliiiiiiiiiiiili3333333 H l llWliiiltliilllilllllll l PAUL LINCOLN ALLEN usnappyn ccMoiker! l Academe Staff 4 Paul is one of our good looking boys, with a slow, easy smile, and a low drawl with his own special accent. Snappy has never been known to hurry, but with his keen wit and intelligence we're sure he'll get to the top. ' MARY ANDOGNINI Minstrels 1 All ears are strained in third period history-all eyes are focused on the corner seat. Mary's soft, sweet voice is scarcely audible, but, as she sits down, she flashes a charming, shy smile in the direction of the class in general. All's forgiven. Who could resist her gentle, ladylike demureness? Mary's many friends of thirty-six wish her good luck in her future career. HARLEY EDWARD ANDREW Baseball 2 Prom Committee 3 Harley is one of our easy-going, amiable fellows. His interests are concentrated principally about baseball and girls. However, this does not mean that he neglects his studies, for he takes his school work seriously, and is constantly passing with good grades. Harley expects to take up Journalism next year, and we're sure he'll be successful. BENJAMIN APKIN KKBenY7 Ben should be political adviser to the president, for his theories concerning politics are truly worth heeding. An avid reader of newspapers, he is ever ready to discuss the latest issues of the day. Ben's plans for next year are indefinite, but we know he will be successful in whatever he undertakes.

However, he spends a great deal of his time escorting a certain senior girl here and there. WALTER BRUCE BALLOU Klwaltif This quiet, studious fellow has not participated in many of Drury's activities, but he certainly has endeavor- ed to keep up the Alma Mater's scholastic standing. Although Walt keeps pretty much to himself, when he does come out of his shell, he startles everyone with his friendly, personable character. His decisiveness and determination should enable him to be a success in whatever field he chooses to enter. BERYL HAZEL BARTON Minstrels 2 Prom Committee 3 Nu Sigma Pro Merito French Club 3 Academe Staff 4 Class Book Stafi' 4 Beryl has received her reward for her diligent study by being one of the most brilliant students in the Senior class. She has a natural musical ability, and we know that no matter what course she may choose to follow in the future, her quiet, unassuming personality will gain her many friends. THOMAS BEALL KIT0m!! Choir 3, 4 Academe Staff 4 Prom Committee 3 Faust 3 Tom has been the 'fScotch influence on our class of '36, However, not in a frugal sense of the word. His deep voice, with a pleasing Scottish accent, and his gentlemanly, quiet manner have made him a friendly asset to Drury during the past four years. His keen interest in athletics has won for him a place in Inter- scholastic and Church League basketball, and, lastly, the honor of being chosen the Sports Editor of the Academe. We hope, Tom, good luck may follow you as your shadow, wherever you may go. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiiiiiii 22222822882fiifiiffffiiifi Siiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit H E 2422222222222288222282222 DORIS CHRISTINE BINGHAM , Derry Dodie 3 Minstrels 2 Basketball 3, 4 f Class Book Typist 4 Doris is a girl who takes life as a joke. If a giggle was heard during an explanation of the requirements of a good filing system, that was Dorry . Her con- tagious laughter and sunny smile have penetrated the hearts of many at Drury. CHARLES E. BOISVERT Fat Charlie Basketball 2, 3, 4, Capt. 4 Football 2, 3, 4 Asst. Manager Baseball 3 Track 2 Manager of Baseball 4 Student Council 4 Traffic Corps 3, 4 Chief of Traffic Corps 4 Prom Committee 3 Charlie has been one of Drury's outstanding athletes, excelling in basketball and football. He's an able track man and deserves credit for his remarkable swim- ming ability. Charlie likewise possesses a pleasing and witty personality, which has created for him a throng of friends. A boy with these splendid traits will surely make a success of anything he undertakes. CHARLES FRANCIS BOURDON Service Corps 4 Prom Committee 4 Charlie is yet another of the quiet members of our class. However, he possesses an additional, valuable characteristic-patience. We hear that he uses it to good advantage when fishing. This past year he has been a helpful member of the Service Corps. Good luck, Charlie. ROSE AGNES BRODERICK Minstrels 1 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Academe Typist Poetry and basketball are an unusal combination, but they are what chiefly interest Rose. She has shown herself to be a fair and enthusiastic sportswoman on the gym fioor. This fair miss has a sweet sentimentality, and delights in the works of famous poets. 3333333333SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 11 8282828228QQQQQQQQQQQW 33333333333333333333338333 H 5 82??????8?????????????2??? l ! i GERALD LOUIS BROTHERS X Kltjerrylf ' Choir 4 Martha 4 Gerald is the fellow who usually comes panting into Study C about 8.02 in the morning. He evidently believes in the old saying, Better late than never. Quiet, retiring, and modest, he has never taken an active part in school affairs, but he is very popular with the few who have had the privilege of knowing im. HELEN ELIZABETH BROWN Brownie Her air is so modest, her aspect so meek, So szmple, yet so sweei, are her charms. Helen hopes someday to become a teacher. Her quiet manners and friendly, sweet ways will surely help her to be a success in this work. These qualities account for her host of friends. NELLIE ELIZABETH BROWN Minstrels 2, 3 Prom Committee 3 Nellie is shy and quite reserved, but she has a nice personality and is always congenial with everyone. Although she hasn't taken an active part in school affairs, she has made a host of friends among her own I set. Nellie's smile will be a pleasant memory to all her admirers. WILLIAM CLEVELAND BRUNDIGE KfBillYl Band 1, 2, 3, 4 Prom Committee 4 Bill is one of those happy-go-lucky individuals. He has few worries and always manages to have a good time. Evidently, playing the trumpet is one of his favorite pastimes, for is he not a loyal supporter of the Drury Band? By his quiet, unassuming way, he has left his imprint upon our class. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 12 82222282222822222288288888 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii H l 222?iiliilifiliiiliiiiilizl MONROE BURDICK fK'M0nYl Prom Committee 3 Mon is one of the best looking boys in our class, and has thus set many feminine hearts beating. How- ever, he seems indifferent to these palpitations, and pursues his way serenely and nonchalantly. He's planning to attend Albany Business School next year, where we are sure he'll meet with success. BERNARD JOSEPH CALVI Berno Cal Baseball 3, 4 Football 4 Prom Committee 3 Cal is always willing to do whatever is asked of him. He enters into everything whole-heartedly, and never fails to have a good time. This year he has become quite a football hero. Remember the Adams- Drury game, Berno? This good-natured and friendly boy, who possesses an abundance of school spirit, is one of the most likeable members of his class. ROSE CAROL CANTONE A:T0nyyv Minstrels 1 Prom Committee 3 Academe Typist 4 Rose is the sophisticated lady of the commercial department. Her refinement and taste in fashion are admired by all her acquaintances. She is very adept in the art of writing poetry, as almost any Academe will illustrate. She will, we are sure, through her charm, become a leader among women. BURTON UDELL CARR Prom Committee 3 One may always hear Burton's interested Voice, extending his ideas and theories, in a discussion of any kind. Recently, he has entered that realm of much- honored dancers and we hear he is pretty good. Burton, may your success be much better than pretty good in the future. 3333333333333iiiiiifsiiiiii 13 22222222222222222222288222 SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS333333 H l 888222Wrftfffrffrfrlffff IDA MAE CARSON fxcorkysr Prop Committee 4 Faust Prom Committee 4 'fMartha,' Choir 3, 4 Frankness, sincerity, and goodness are the out- standing characteristics of this Briggsville lass, who has proven herself to be a fine and loyal friend to many. Her love of arguments and story writing has been sur- mounted by her great love for animals, especially horses. We feel secure in predicting her future success as a first-rate veterinarian. u ALICE MARGARET CATTANEO NAV! HSCOOISD Minstrel 2 Property Committee 4 Choir 3, 4 Prom Committee 4 Faust Martha Al, the smiling girl with the big brown eyes, has finally decided on her future careerg she plans to be a designer. May she have opportunity also in the years to come to make use of that beautiful soprano voice which has so thrilled her Drury audiences. Her cheer- ful disposition and her ability to t'stick by a pal, will certainly carry her through every eventful moment in the years to follow. BLANCHE MADELIENE CELLANA nJe,wy9x Basketball 1 Soccer 4 Service Corps 4 Although she's always a good student in class, Blanche very often is the center of fun and activity in the cor- ridors. Her pleasing disposition and good-natured giggle have won her many friends who wish her success in any career she may choose to follow, RUSSELL JOHN CHENAIL Russ Prom Committee 3, 4 Hollywood with its Fred Astaire has nothing on Drury, for we have Russ He surprised us all by coming to the dances last year, and he has since accredited himself nobly in this pastime. If there is a dance anywhere in the city you will surely find Russ in attendance. We know that Russ's cheery grin and good-natured personality will insure for him a successful career in his future life.

Although he is forced to commute daily each morn- ing from Monroe Bridge, this early matutinal rising does not disturb his bland, serene personality. He spends most of his spare time in the neighborhood of the ticket office of Loew's Richmond Theatre. We wonder what the attraction is? BARBARA ELSIE CROFTS KKBarb!I Minstrels 1 Basketball 3, 4 Prom Committee 3 Class Book Staff Barb, tall and attractive, is an eflicient business girl. However, all her time is not spent in commercial study. She has many outside interests, eh, Barb ? She is, indeed, a true friend and one that will always remain loyal and steadfast. CHARLES BERNARD DAUNAIS Charlie Don't let this young man fool you, for although he may appear to be verging on the soporific state, he is ever on the alert. And, hush, Charlie is one of Drury's most proficient practical jokers. PHILIP DAVIS Hphiln c1Flop!r Prom Committee 3 Some think Phil is quiet but those who really know him have found him just the opposite. During the four years Phil has been with us he has earned our ad- miration and respect for his loyalty and honesty. The class of '36 wishes you the best of luck, Phil. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 2222222822228WQQQQQQQQQ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii H 5 2222222iiiiifiiiffifffiiii MARION KATHERINE De BARBIERI Nu Sigma Epsilon Prom Committee 3, 4 Class Book Typist Marion's frankness and fiery spirit have made her admired by all of her friends. Her curly black locks have been the subject of much comment and the envy of the many girls who are forced to make frequent trips to the beauty shops. We are confident that Marion will win a profitable position as some prominent executive's secretary. WILLIAM KENNETH DEMPSEY IlBillYl Student Council 1 Prom Committee 3 Assistant Manager of Football 2 Bill is one of those boys who does not believe in business before pleasure. He can appreciate a good joke and is always ready with a wise crack. There is little doubt about the rumor that Bill owns a brick at Anes's as he can usually be found there with one of his pals. BERNARD LEWIS DENNIS ccwimpyvv Wimpy is one of the quietest boys in the senior class. He never speaks unless spoken to, but still water runs deep. He has only been with us two years, but his cheer- ful smile and pleasing personality have won him many friends at Drury. We know Wimpy will be successful in Whatever he undertakes. DONALD LEWIS DENNIS fiD0n!! Properties Committee 4 Martha 4 Banquet Committee 4 Choir 4 If you hear a voice crooning in the halls or in the class- room, you'll know it's Don, Formerly, Don played a prominent part in the school life of Binghamton, New York, but decided this year to come to Drury and graduate with us. He started right in by singing his way into our hearts. His pleasing personality and pleasant smile have won him many friends here at Drury. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii -iii iittiittiifZtfififfiilffii iiiiiiiiliilllliiiiiiiiili H 5 2228825222888222222225822 WILLIAM THOMAS DOUGLAS srBillH uD0ugu Class Treasurer 1 Prom Committee 3 Class Book Typist 4 Happy-go-lucky Bill has been an indispensable member of the commercial department. His innocent grin and many witticisms have made him a universal favorite. He is also skilled in the art of borrowing and has not, as yet, returned a certain pen to a certain girl. WILLIAM ERNEST DUBE Bill Choir 4 Martha Tall, blonde, good-natured, Bill ! He's a familiar figure on the dance floor, and it is very evidently his favorite pastime. His pleasing vocal ability won him a place in the successful opera, Martha. We're not just sure, but a little freshman seems to have most of his attention these days. BARBARA HELEN EVANS Barb Bains Prom Committee 3 Minstrels 1, 2 Barb is a quiet, lady-like girl, who possesses a humorous streak that is greatly appreciated by her companions. Kind-hearted and anxious to please, her friendly nature and personality have conquered many a fellow classmate, and undoubtedly will con- tribute toward a successful career as a nurse. HOWARD EVANS Howie Did you ask if Howie was one of us? Why, yes. He has been with us four years and hasn't told a soul. Where have you been hiding, Howie ? He is one of the few boys who really takes his study- ing seriously. We know he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. 33333333333333333333333333 17 228822882QQQQQQQQQWQQQ Siltmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii H H 2282288828fifffffiffffffff .

Pro Merito, 4 Vera, who has ever been generous in offering her services at school entertainments, possesses a remarkably sweet voice, a charming smile, an enviable scholastic record, and a host of friends. We don't mind telling you that her naturally curly hair is the envy of the girls. MARY FACHINI IIMae77 Many a member of the class of '36 claims quiet, little Mary for a friend. Refreshing eagerness, simplicity and frankness are all traits of Mae, Always willing to help, with kindness Written on every feature, she has an enviable character. Her brisk efficiency and aptitude in secretarial work should be the basis of her instantaneous success in the World. DAVID EUGENE FINNEY Dave Although Dave is another of Drury's shy, quiet students, he will leave his mark upon the school's history. He has recently been discovered as the Hercules of our Alma Mater. He has also been an invaluable member of the Senior Wrestling Team. May his success and happiness in the future be as outstanding as his muscular prowness! ' RAYMOND DANIEL FISCHLEIN l IiRayl7 Nu Sigma Epsilon Service Corps 4 Academe Staff Traffic Corps 4 , Class Book Staff Prom Committee 3, 4 French Club 3 The adjectives studious and 'fhilariousu combine to describe just what sort of a person Ray is. ' He plans to go into the business of selling merchandise 1 - specialty, men's clothing. His good naturedness and keen sense of humor should bring him many customers, I demanding to know what the well-dressed man will wear. itiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iQQil 8222228222fifffffffiffifii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii H l 22Qliiiiiilllllilllfflilfl NORMAN LOUIS FOOTE ff Norm Norman's endeavor to receive good marks in Drury certainly has been justified, for each marking period, his report card has been the envy of many a fellow classmate. In our recent election, Norman was voted the quietest boy in the class and deservedly so, too, for his presence has been seen, but not heard during his four years. GUY ARTHUR FRANCESCHINI Class President 3, 4 Prom Committees 3, 4 Flag Bearer 3, 4 Student Council 3, 4 Spontaneity is the nucleus of this enthusiastic person- ality, although the dignity of the class presidency manifests itself on all formal occasions. Guy is another who joins the group of Drury's best dressed. He plans to enter the field of aviation, and may he soar high, and always have happy landings! LESLIE THEODORE FRANCIS usonnyn Tennis 2, 3, 4 Class Book Staff French Club 3, 4, Pres., 4 Trafiic Corps 4 One of the best-natured and most popular boys in Drury, Sonny is simply brimming over with pep, personality, and sincerity.

As it was once said, He is sought by all the girls, yet he is never bothered by them. HARRIETT ANEETTE GANGEMI etts Basketball 2, 3 Class Play, Asst.

Her lilting poems have proved delightful to Academe readers, while her charming smile has endeared her to many underclassmen. Annette intends to make Skidmore her Alma Mater. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilsii 8222222882828liiiifliiilll SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSl H 5 2ll?iliiiiiiiltiiiiiiiiiii LOUIS ANTHONY GAZZANIGA Gazz Gas Gas-House Prom Committee 4 Louis, who is always ready and willing to recite, has been an important factor of our history class.

Academe Staff 4 Nu Sigma Prom Committee 3, 4 Soccer 4 Prom Committee Chairman 4 Class Book Staff Traffic Corps 4 Choir 3 French Club 3, 4 Basketball 4 Peg's gold-spun hair and classic features Cshe captured the coveted title of best-looking girlb have been the undoing of many young men, especially one of Drury's best athletes. Competent and willing, Peg, has supported all school activities, whether it be athletics or literary staffs, with unfaltering loyalty. We know that Peg will find happiness and success at whatever college she chooses to attend. CORINNE BERTHA GENEST Frenchie Minstrels 2 Faust 3 Choir 3, 4 Martha 4 Prom Committee 3 French Club 3, 4 Academe Staff This petite, dark eyed bundle of personality has smiled and sung her way into the hearts of many people. That pert nod of her curly head has endeared her to all. Her role as Lady Harriet in Martha showed the acting ability, as well as the voice capacity, Corinne possesses. We're sure that whether it will be music or teaching, Frenchie will conquer and be honored. PAUL GENEST Baseball 1, 2, 3 President of Choir 3, 4 Football 1, 2, 3 Minstrels 1, 2 Drama Club 1, 2, 3, 4 Pirates of Penzance 2 Faust 3 Martha 4 We are all certainly proud of Paul, who is capable of thrilling his listeners with his deep, smooth, baritone voice. In many assemblies and in all our school musical productions we have relied on Paul for a pleasant time, which he has always given us. We wish you the best of luck, Paul, and we are sure you are capable of accom- plishing great things in the field of music. iiSiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiS 20 822288iiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiii l I llllsiililillllliliilllllll H l 222222282222448222822282 DOROTHY SARA GEZUNER iED0t!l lIGuzzyYY Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Book Staff French Club 3, 4 Minstrels 1 Prom Committee 3 Soccer 4 Dot may be the smallest girl in the class but that doesn't prevent her from being the most mischievous. Many times the silence of a class has been broken by some witty remark from little Dot, Don't think that's all she can do. She has contributed many splendid articles for the Academe, and has even forgotten her wit for a few minutes to write some serious poetry for us. Strangely, her true ambition is to be an aviatrix. Good luck and happy landings, Dot ! GRACE NANCY GIACCO Grace Smiler Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Cheer Leader 3, 4 Drama Club 4 Martha 4 Prom Committee 3 Grace has certainly done her part in Drury. She has been an inspiring cheer leader and an important factor in the good cheering at our games. At our dances one is fortunate if he is able to secure a dance with Grace, as she is always in demand. This is true not only because she is our best dancer, but also because she has a sweet simplicity that is very pleasing. We're all for you, Grace! WILLIAM EDWARD GILMAN Klgillll KIG,illy7Y Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, Capt. 4 Class Book Staff Basketball 3, 4 Academe Staff Football 2, 3, 4 Traffic Corps 4 Prom Committee 3, 4 Bill certainly deserves the honor of being our best all-around boy. He has been an important factor in the success of our three major sport teams and also has contributed faithfully to our school and class pub- lications with his well-done, artistic designs. Bill is sure to come through to success in life because of his capabilities, but if these should fail him, his calm pleas- ing smile will certainly come to his rescue. This smile, with the aid of a grand personality and plenty of good looks, is making many-a-heart flutter, and certainly will continue to do so. RUSSELL WALLACE GIROUX KKRuSS!l Track 2, 3, 4 Our Russ is a typical regular fellow. Although he is rather quiet, he has a grand personality. If you d0n't believe this, ask anyone from the manual training gang. He's a loyal member of the track team, and if there ever was a Speedster Russ is one. We hate to see such a big-hearted fellow leave us, but with his sterling qualities, We're sure he'll make good, 333333333llllllillllllilli ?2????????22????22?QW? iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii H E iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii MILDRED LENT GLEASON Millie Dear old Millie with the dreamy eyes, has not participated in many of Drury's activities, but her frankness, honesty, and kindness have left their mark upon our hearts. Millie's love of appropriate and attractive furniture plus her capability and practicability should be valuable assets in her career as an interior decorator. HELEN SYLVIA GLICK Basketball 1 French Club 3, 4 Service Corps 3 Prom Committee 3, 4 A feeble answer first period, an unrestrainable giggle in gym, and a strange power of deduction in an algebra class tell Helen's story. Neither the phlegmatic nor too active type, Helen has found a happy medium which results in good marks and good times. WARREN EDMUND HAMER Warren is certainly a hard fellow to figure out. He has an innocent appearance but in reality he's quite capable of stirring up a good mess of trouble. We have recognized Warren to be one of our most en- thusiastic sportsmen. He knows his sports and likes them, especially fishing. If he hears that there's a good-sized trout twenty miles away, he'll walk to catch it. With that spirit you can't fail, Warren.

Bridg is very fond of athletics and is a dependable rooter for all games in any field. We hope that Bridg will be happy and con- tented in her chosen career as a nurse, and we are sure that her determination will give her a place in the world. ROSCOE DAVID HOSLEY Oscar Nu Sigma Epsilon Prom Committee 3, 4 Stage Hand 1, 2, 3, 4 We owe a great deal of thanks to Roscoe because he has always performed one of the duties here at school for which one is never appreciated. During his four years Roscoe has worked earnestly at the hard task of securing and putting up the scenery for our school plays and musicals. Also, d0n't forget, Roscoe is the strong man of our class, having the highest average in the strength tests. Girls, it's too bad we haven't more he men like Oscar, isn't it?

Her admirable logic and splendid voice have made her a valuable and prominent asset to our debating team. We're sure that whether it be Simmons or Skidmore, Barb will have a happy college career. LLOYD FRANCIS KING Blondie Lloyd's main interests seem to lie in athletics and the fair sex. The former was revealed in his participation in the intermural basketball games. However, the latter interest we are assured is centered in St. J oseph's. May you achieve your ambition for the G. E.

But, be that as it may, even his victims forgive him for He's a Jolly Good Fellow - witty, a good dancer, and he can take it. ROBERT FRANKLIN KITTREDGE CfBobl! Bob is a very taciturn lad - a firm believer in the old adage, Silence is golden. He has made many friends while at Drury, and all his associates declare him a staunch and loyal com- panion. Bob likes the Great Outdoors. He doesn't have to buy Joe Penner's duck when he can go out and shoot one any autumn morning. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 24 2222222282882222222822822 iiiiiiiiiiiti3333333333333 H i 82222222222282222582228822 Nu Sigma Class Book Staff 4 Pro Merito French Club 3, 4 Academe Staff 4 Prom Committee 3 A prolific imagination, a comprehensive vocabulary, plus a charming style in poetry and prose, all tend to make Eleanor one of the most outstanding members of Drury's intelligentsia. Her scholastic attainments have been worthy of well-earned praise, while her enjoy- able personality and willingness to cooperate have won her a special spot in the hearts of her associates. HERBERT FREDERICK KRONICK Herb f'Herbie Band, 1, 2, 3 Herbie has been endowed with a astonishingly keen wit and a remarkable sense of humor, both of which have made him very popular with his associates at Drury. Flattery and compliments have no place in Herb's make-up, so if he gives his uncensored appro- bation, a person may well feel pleased. Dancing has always been one of his favorite pastimes, and he has supported the Friday afternoon dances faithfully. MINERVA RUTH KRONICK Mark Marcia Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 1 Soccer 4 Prom Committee 3, 4 Mark has spent her four years of high school pursuing the studies of the scientific course. In most of her classes she has been the only girl. She likes her basketball and has played every year, holding down an important guard position. She is another one of those ggs who have made their headquarters Miss O'Shea's o ce. Marcia has been a great help to our class in her quiet, efficient Way, and we certainly appreciate it. RITA HAZEL La FAVE Basketball 1 Minstrels 1, 2 Soccer 4 Choir 3, 4 Faust Martha Rita's blonde wavy hair, blue eyes, and jaunty air are well known throughout the corridors of Drury.

Her agile and adept fingers make her a delightful pianist, and this musical ability will perhaps someday place her in concert.

His other interests range from foot- ball and girls to an unsuppressed desire to perform those crazy, yet amusing stunts so well known to both students and faculty. HAROLD FREDERIC LESS Tracky Track 1 Football 3 Band 1, 2, 3 Harold's main sphere of infiuenceu has been in athletics. In his third year he was a staunch supporter of the Junior Varsity basketball team. Though rather quiet, his reserved complacent manner has won for him a large circle of friends.

DOROTHY JANE LIVERMORE Janie Class Vice-President 3, 4 Pro Merito Nu Sigma Epsilon, Vice-Pres. 3 Basketball 1, 3 Prom Committee 3, 4 Twice elected to the vice-presidency of her class, Janie has thus proved her popularity.

RALPH WEBSTER LLOYD acwebbyrl Football 3, 4 Traflic Corps 4 Prom Committee 4 Webby is one of the cleverest and quick-witted boys of the senior class. However he reminds us strange- ly of that familiar favorite of the fiickers, Tarzan, when he gives vent to his irrepressible emotions, and begins his climbing and swinging acts. He's a great guy, though, and we hope he proves to be as brilliant in his later life as he did in that Hrst period chemistry c ass.

Well, no one has yet, and maybe that is why Eflie is such a light-hearted, con- tented person. A familiar joke is Effie's breath-taking escapes from tardiness. She is never late, but she never arrives sooner than one second to eight. Here's to Stooge and may she continue her life in this ex- citing, happy way. LELAND STANFORD MARSHALL liLee!I Minstrels 2 Martha Property Committee 4 Choir 3, 4 Prom Committee 4 Faust t'Lee's joviality and cheerfulness have won him countless friends at Drury.

One of our more brilliant students, she has par- ticipated in many school activities, supporting the Academe with tireless zeal.

We're all for you, Joe, and our best wishes go with you. RUTH MAY PICKWELL Ruthie Pickie Martha Choir 3, 4 Faust Ruthie is neither one of our social whirlwinds nor one of our noisy students. She is, however, one of the girls who always makes chemistry on time. She keeps her rapid pace up to par by running for buses.

MARGARET ELIZABETH QUINN rnpegn Orchestra 4 Academe Typist 4 Prom Committee 3 Peg is one of Drury's quiet, unassuming girls, who firmly believes in the old adage, Business before pleasure. However, she cannot escape the wary eye of the public when she begins playing her violin, for her skill and musical ability have aroused much favorable comment. MARY CATHERINE RICE Prom Committee 3 Band 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball 1 Mary's activities are many and varied.

Her pleasing smile should be of great assistance in her future career. MARGARET HUNTER RUSSELL Basketball 1 Class Book Staff Prom Committee 3 Opera 4 Although Margaret has been a rather quiet girl during her four years at Drury, she has made many lasting friendships and has won the favor of her teachers by her calm, pleasant personality. As may be seen above, she helped her junior class get a successful start on the proms. Margaret has not made any definite plans concerning next year, but we feel sure that she will do her best in whatever she undertakes. , RUTH PHYLISS SCRIBER Ruth is one of the quietest girls in our class. In fact, she was unanimously given that title in the senior election.

HELEN CATHERINE SHEA Who is that little dark-haired girl with the big brown eyes? Why that's Helen Shea! She's the one who played such a grand part in the Class Play. She certainly is a card. I remember hearing that she is a prominent member of her class. Keen wit too, always in a jolly mood till someone calls her farmer. But that's where they are all wrong. Blackinton turns out some good ones. But Helen doesn't let her good times interfere with her studies, as her scholastic record shows.

Ray's logic and determination, as well as his sociability, should bring him much happiness and prosperity. PAUL RUSSELL SWARTZER Paul isn't as quiet as he might lead you to believe. If you don't agree with this, just notice his versatility and verboseness when he's out with a certain someone. Maybe Paul thinks that there is a time and place for everything, and that chemistry class is neither the place nor the time to illustrate his talents. SARA BELLE TAFT Sallie Minstrels 2 Martha Prom Committee 3 Soccer 4 Choir 4 Sallie is planning to continue her commercial studies at Bliss Business College. Perhaps someday we'll see her employed as the quiet, efficient, little stenographer of some prominent business man. We know from past experience that she puts her best elforts toward success. FRANCIS LAURENCE THERRIAN Academe Staii' 4 Although Francis, one of our quiet boys, didn't enter Drury with us, he has been a welcome member of the class of thirty-six.

JOSEPHINE BERNADETTE VARUZZO KKJOU Minstrels 2 Jo is one of the quietest and most petite members of the class of '36. Reading and hiking are her favorite occupations, and very worthwhile ones they are, too. She is sincere and faithful in her school work, and we hope that all the success and happiness in the world will be hers at Bliss next year. CHARLES EDWARD WEST Chuck Wiggins French Club 3 Secretary of Class 3 Nu Sigma Epsilon Traffic Corps 4 Student Council 4 Baseball 2, 4 Without a' Qdoubt, Charlie is one of the cleverest and most versatile boys of our class. He has often been called a pessimist, but we are a bit skeptical about the truth of this. He possesses an extremely pleasing wit which makes him an invaluable addition to a party, and a friendly, crooked smile, which seems to have made him very popular with the girls. JOHN FRAZIER WHITNEY uspiken Class Play 4 Tennis Manager 4 Drama Club 4 Prom Committee 4 Everyone remembers J ohn's clever interpretation of the Jap servant, Fuzisaki, in Wedding Bells. His slight stature was his only distinguishable feature that night, for he had forsaken his fair complexion and blonde hair for yellow skin and jetty locks. Spike is extremely interested in sports, especially basketball, as we noticed in the Church League games. 1 His many friends at Drury wish him a successful future. iiiiillliilililSiilliillil -ii- 8iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii22222223 3333333SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS H E 22iiiffiffiiifiiiiiifiiifi EARL FRANKLIN WILLIAMS Prom Committee 4 Prop.

Perhaps a certain underclassman could best answer that. Although Earl is not especially fond of his studies, he does like basket- ball and has often played in the intermural games. We wish him a happy and sunny future. CATHERINE WILSON Drama Club 4 Prom Committee 3 Basketball 2, 3, 4 Martha Faust Choir 3, 4 Petite, dark-eyed, earnest, and Winsome, Catherine isn't going to have a hard time securing patients in her nursing career.

LORRAINE FRANCES WRIGHT While Lorraine's extra-curricular activities have not been numerous, her personality has not been over- looked at Drury. She has a calm serenity and a pleasant likeable nature that have certainly been imprinted upon the hearts of many. Although her future is as yet undecided, we are confident in her success.

He was very quiet and studious for the first two years, but during the last two, he has made up for lost time. They say that Freddie is going to Brown University, and if he is, he certainly won't have to worry about making friends, judging from the number he has cul- tivated at Drury.

Wait a minute, I have my class book here, somewhere. I'll go get it. It's such fun recalling incidents of those remarkable four years. Ah, here it is. Look at the pictures! Don't they look queer? Here's mine. Read that write up! Let's see e oh, do you remember our basketball team in our freshman year, the team that had the play-061 in the Lasell Gym in Williamstown? Oh, here's the history. Listen, I'll read it, and then we can talk it over later. To go back ten years. In September of 1932, we shakily and nervously entered into our high school career. The first few weeks we spent in getting acquainted with build- ing, teachers, and students. As we walked through the corridors how in- significant we felt with the upper classmen looking down at us!

Unity of our freshman class began when we elected our class officers: President, Billy Roberts, Vice President, Nan Purtellg Secretary-Treasurer, Billy Douglas. After a vacation which seemed much too short, we came back to Drury, not as freshmen but as full-fledged sophomores. Playing this new role, we had the pleasure of looking down on the incoming class, who seemed more timid and frightened than we had been. For our officers We chose: President, Harry Messier, Vice President, Annette Gangemig Secretary-Treasurer, Ray Gaudette. Our junior year came all too soon. We started off by electing our class officers. President, Guy Franceschinig Vice President, Jane Livermore, Secretary-Treasurer, Dick Trottier. Bearing the title Junior we took on new responsibilities. We undertook the annual Junior Prom, which was a gala affair, due to the guidance of our class adviser, Miss Sherman. In this year especially, our class con- tributed many husky athletes to the baseball, football, basketball and track teams. The fall of 1935 found us taking our assembly seats in the front rows of the auditorium. Our social and dramatic activities for the year included the Senior Prom, which was one of the social highlights of the season, the opera Martha directed by Mr. Chambers, which aroused very favorable comment through- out the city, the class play, Wedding Bells which was performed so capably by members of our senior class, and finally the magnificent Senior Cabaret - the biggest social and financial success of years. For the first time in many years a class was permitted to graduate in caps and gowns, the girls in white and boys in navy blue. This scene on the stage was extremely impressive. Another item of interest in our senior year was class night, held on the terrace. The class song was sung, and the class will, prophecy and history were read. Our last year was successfully passed under the leadership of those same class officers who had so ably served us the year before. Betty: I'll say that does bring back memories. Remember how proud and fortunate we felt having caps and gowns and class night! We were the first class to have all those privileges, weren't we?

Marcia Hunter is the lucky second, but Reggie does not love her, he only hopes she will be a means of his forgetting his first wife and only love, Rosalie Carter. His first marriage was a rather rushed affair as a result of a mishap to his shoes which had been left outside his door to be shined, but which Pinkie had decided to dine upon. Pinkie was Rosalie's dogg she too was staying in Santa Barbara at the same hotel. Shortly after this accidental meeting the two were married. However before they left Santa Barbara a quarrel all over red hair separated the two. After a subsequent divorce the couple saw no more of each other. Rosalie, reading of Reggie's impending marriage in a foreign newspaper, travels all the way from Europe to see him. She makes a surprise visit on her ex-husband with whom she again becomes very friendly. As a result Reggie invites her to dinner that night. Reggie, it happens, is to attend a bachelor dinner that evening in his honor, but he manages to get out of it by pretending to be sick. Marcia hears of his illness and comes over to inquire about his health and then finds out the truth. Action follows which results in the breaking of Marcia's engagement and the realization that the divorce was a mistake. The cast put on a superb performance under the successful direction of Miss Shea. The players represented the best dramatic ability of the senior class, and their cooperation and fine acting made the play a brilliant success. Annette Gangemi was assistant director.
