To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die The death of Mr. John F. McGrory last fall saddened the hearts of the many students and teachers who knew him through the years as teacher and Principal of Drury High School and later as Superintendent of Schools in North Adams. A stoic philosopher and stern disciplinarian, he believed in fair play for everyone and in everything which contributed to the greatest welfare of both student and school. A keen scholar him- seltf he insisted upon a high standard of scholarship and inspired many boys and girls to seek a higher educa- tion. Memories of this steadfast friend, gracious leader and wise counselor will long linger in our hearts. Truly, he loved Drury on the hill. Ljlichard N. Anketell, A.B., M.Ed. YVValter G.

Blessed for e'er- thou shall he, Where e'er thy children roamg Thy voice shall sound, through the miles Calling us hack home. Drury Mother, dear, Calling us back home. Lois GREEN meant-open windows, soft breezes, day-dreaming boys, starry-eyed girls, and baseball. The epidemic was soon brought under control through the efforts of our well-meaning teachers and principal, and things slowly went back to normal. - Life moved along at an even pace for some time, until graduation became the topic of conversation. Even though we were not directly concerned, we felt saddened somewhat by the class of '46's leaving, and we suddenly realized that there was no longer a class above us, for we were the future Seniors of Drury. With this thought in mind, we left for summer vacation, determined that we would make next year our best ear. September, 1946 found us once again making our way up the walk to Drury, with feelings somewhat reminiscent of those we had that first day three years before. 1-low far away it seemed to us now, as we stepped into the shoes of last year's Senior Class! This year began in rather a different way, for Drury tradition was broken, when Seniors were as- signed to first floor homerooms, and the auditorium seating plan mixed fellows and girls, as well as classes. These changes did not alter our position in the school, however, so we began to undertake the age-old re- sponsibilities of Seniors. Our election campaigns got underway a few weeks after school began, and we chose very capable representatives: President, Francis Cardillog Vice-President, Claire Roy, Secretary, Barbara Wagnetg and Treasurer, Elizabeth Tatro. The honor of our class was in their hands, but we were confident that they would not fail us. As in the past, autumn weather brought with it football games, and we cheered our teams in victory and defeat-for the last time, as members of the student body. This year, the Drury Prom was our responsibility. We think we did a good job, and are justified in saying that an enjoyable evening was had by all. ' ' We were given the opportunity to display some of our talent in December when we presented- Professor, How Could You! to Drury students and friends. Our attempt at drama proved very successful, and was heartily accepted by the school and the public. Along with other winter activities, our 1946-1947 basketball season opened at the State Armory. Throughout, we showed true Drury spirit, and some fine examples of good sportsmanship and teamwork, coming close to the championship, but again, fate intervened. All too quickly, mid-year exams were scheduled, and an air of tension filled the school - but not for long. The crisis soon passed, and shortly, Spring and its expected effects once again invaded the halls and classrooms of Drury. As always, it lingered a while, then quietly stole away, leaving us to assume neglected school responsibilities. May proved to be an interesting month for Seniors, for we revived the Senior Cabaret after a lapse of a year, and presented an enjoyable evening to Drury students. The end of the month found Senior girls, garbed in white, silently marching from tree to tree on the front grounds, gently placing the American Hags in their standards as our tribute to Drury's war dead on Memorial Day. Time then grew short, and talk of graduation was in the air, and on our minds. Our last few weeks as students, and Seniors in Drury were busy, happy weeks, with the exception of final exams. Then, came that glorious week that was exclusively ours, and commencement activities began. On Class Night, we made our first appearance in our caps and gowns, taking part in the usual pro- gram-the class prophecy, the will, the class song and personalities, then, excitedly thumbing the pages of our classbooks. Next we attended the class banquet where hearty appetites, toasts to teachers and classmates, and general gaiety prevailed. Then, the Senior Reception, a formal affair in our honor. What a wonderful time we had! Finally, and most important of all, was Graduation Day.- Marching into the auditorium in a solemn procession, the farewell addresses, the special awards - then, walking to the platform, heads high, hearts happy, to receive our diplomas. We had reached our goal, and as we filed silently out of the auditorium, with a mixture of sadness and happiness in our hearts, our lives were beginning anew, for we were entering a new school,-the school of the world, yet we would never forget the happy days we had spent at Drury on the Hill. - MARY GAFFE1' JOAN Soun.-xii Class Prophecy 0 4 4 Time: November 1967 Place: North Smada on the Hoosic K Scene: The Richwell Hotel Once again thc national elections roll around. We find ourselves in the midst of the big Republocrat rally which is being held at the Richwell Hotel, owned by the wealthy Betti brothers-Jim and Ben. The lobby is filled with many celebrities. Among them are Russell Kemp, noted violinist, and Frances Trisorio, pianist, who have recently made their debut at Carnegie Hall. With them are Barb VVatts and Val Therrien, co-stars in the new stage production, The Paperboy Cometh. The hum of the crowd begins to cease and Tony Sacco, well known politician, begins to speak. He introduces his candidate, Honest Al Johnson who is running for president. His platform is-better system in public schools- where school begins at 12:00 noon and ends at 1:00 p.m. with an hour off for lunch. As the speeches continue we grow restless and begin to mingle in the crowd to look for more celebrities. Oh! There is Bar- bara Wagnet, first congress woman from Massachusetts. With her is John Silvia, famous attorney at law. lt looks as if everyone is here. There is George Cobelli, noted detective and international yo-yo champion chatting with Rusty Harris who has just returned from the Switzerland Ski Races with honors, and Wild Bill Prevey, sheriff of Drury Gulch, who has brought numerous desperadoes to justice. We see a dele- gation in the crowd from the Atomic Research Board. Among them are Leonard Scarfone, Betsy Peggs - woman scientist-and Bill Less. They have made wonderful progress especially with the development and harnessing of atomic energy brought about by James McKeon and John Newman. 1 As we move on, we accidently bump into famed singer Jeannine Perrault. She tells us that several old Drury classmates have reached the height of fame in Hollywood-chiefly Mary Sparks, Lorraine Brooks and Jim Teeple who has taken the name of Barles Choyer. Reporters are everywhere -interviewing and snapping pictures. Lee Hedda Kerson is busily taking notes. for her gossip column in the New York Times. Eddie Horsfall and his snappy assistant, Alice White are trying to get some pictures but the crowd is so thick that they are having difficulty. The speeches are over and head waiter, Eddie LeClaire has announced that dinner is being served in the Green Room. Bernard Pierre Lefebvre, French connoisseur of foods and wines was especially hired for this great occasion. Reinee Ouellette is inspecting her staff of waitresses. Barbara Gaw, interior deco- rator is putting on the finishing touches, Janice Domin is seated at the console ready to play and Rose Rydholm is taking the last look at her readings she is scheduled to give. Everyone is now seated at the tables. However, there are a few vacant seats. Bette Gargal, dean of Miss Fines Finishing School for Young Ladies at Paris, N. Y., and the faculty members Clarice Baird, Beatrice Jensen and Evelyn Burdick were unable to attend. Anne Johnson, official hostess is busily checking her list of celebrities. Seated next to us are Fran 'lKiller Cardillo with his managers Joe Pisano and Burt Russell. Next to them are a group of teachers from Howie Blair's Elite Dancing Academy. Among them are: Ruth Mason, waltz teacher and Betty Phelps, jitterbug teacher. Claire Kosberg and Claire Vasseur, dramatic critics are with them. After a wonderful dinner, toasted by Ruth Johnson, inventor of explosive-proof laboratories for high school use, Master of Ceremonies, William Anderson, introduces the first entertainer for the evening- Esther Fachini, ballet dancer and her Ballet Russe Company. Some of our old friends are starring with her-Susan Bishop, Iris Cimonetti, Marion Pierce and Madeleine Lord. Graceful leaders of the lineup are Anne Colt and Betty Sartori, a novelty tapdancing team. Next in the act comes a satirical skit of Washington's life given by Marion Roy, Janet Lloyd and Clara Fitzpatrick. And now the audience has gathered around Arsene Davignon-noted magician who is entertaining them with a few of his newest tricks. His assistant, lovely Ruth Murray steps gracefully into the wooden box to be sawed into three pieces. Suddenly the lights go out! A scream is heard! Immediately Detective Stuie Doodler Cutler takes over shouting: Everyone stay where you are until my assistant Shirley Phelps finds the light switch. Meanwhile mathematicians Professor Richard Allen, Sylvia Goodrich and Ellen Dinneen are huddled in a corner figuring out the enigma on paper with a new combination new radar spotter and wristwatch invented by Leonard Lavendol and Marie Scalise. Seeing that the excited crowd should be calmed Pete Facchetti rounds up his band and plays Little Lulu with Wilfred Dubreuil, Lorraine Boudreau, Barb Gay and A1 Boshoff making up a nice quartet. Lloyd Butch Duprat, renowned safecracker and plumber is being questioned by the police. Sud- denly the lights go on due to the skill of George Daub of the 4'We'll Fix it for Goodn Company. There stands Ruth emblazoned in the powerful searchlight-she laughs and skips behind the curtain. It was just a publicity stunt for her new novel The Lady in the Dark. We see Ned Goat,' Wood, widely known reporter and paperboy who is phoning in his story to the North Smada Herald Tribune-Cecelia Haddad, Phyl Fountain and Nan Tanguay are also big column- ists forthe same paper. Lois Green and Rita Florini write the comics while Peg Anderson draws the cartoons. Peg has as her assistants Mary Samia, Lorraine Cilli and Marcia Cookish. In the sports depart- ment Hank Serre is editor with Ruth Hanlon and Anna Flanagan taking care of the women's sports. Bernice Bernard and Jessie Cardinal have a ski column of their own. Eleanor Chalifoux has given up her job with the Tangley Monument Company in order to take a position as private secretary to the editor of the Times. We learn that Pat Durant and Agnes Lynch are working as copy readers in the same concern. We overhear that Mary GaHey is modeling for BergdoH? Goodman in New York while Betty Tatro and Joan Soudak are giving stiff competition in the same Held for Hattie Carnegie. During a moment's lull in the general hubbub we hear two voices raised in unison in peeling laughter. They belong to Pat Brousso and Eileen Bates. Eileen is a famous contortionist appearing in Ringling Brother's Circus and Pat does a cute act on the back of a white horse. Leaving the entertainment we move on into the hall where an earnest discussion is taking place among Fran Faustini, bustling clerk of the Chamber of Commerce, Mary Provencher, a dog fancier, and Carol Lenhoff, child psychologist, over whether Larry Moreau is now a Major or Lieutenant General in the Army. But we have it straight from Ted I-luttle's clipping bureau that Larry is Commander-in-chief of all G. I. transportation in lchymuchi, Japan. Some of the opposing party who have crashed the rally are creating quite a rumpus down near Barb Roy's cotton candy booth. Our North Smada special police detail consisting of Paul Crowley, Dominick Ponti and Tony Murray and led by Captain Ralph MacDonald rush in and hustle the disturbers out the door. We hear excited whispers telling of the approach of the powerful bloc of women senators who wield great power in the Senate. As they come up the hall we are amazed to see that they are four more Drury 47'ers-Rose Mazzu, the first seems to be holding the others-Lois Blanchard, Joan Nichols and Pat Lopreta in deep conversation. Stopping to speak to these celebrities we saunter off in search of more of our old friends. Say, if that isn't Emily Trimarchi, proprietress of the Chez Emily Hat Shoppe over there. She has one of our former classmates, John Staulker working for her pinning Howers on bonnets. Loretta Tatro is over near the door talking to Shirley Shapiro and Ruth Suthers. They are probably discussing the new button factory in which they all have shares. Up near the speaker's platform we see Eddy Lachapelle telling Ellison Lawrence and Betty Sprowson, his press agents about his new contract with G.M.G. Studios in Hollywood. There's Bill Kelly sitting under a palm tree plant industriously studying Esquire for which he is a copywriter-he copies all the pictures down in a sketchbook. Ouchl Someone just stepped on my foot. Well, if it isn't Selma Weinl What, you say you're now foreign ambassador from Vassar College? And Lorna Warner is an actress at the St. James Theatre in New York? We leave Selma now and amble over near the postcard booth run by James Smith. We see Bernie Whittle, our new Public Works Commissioner, trying to buy two cards for the price of one. This convention is lasting a long time. We hear from a reliable source that Sil Lamarre is now a salesman for the Soakum Sponge Company. Off at the left we see Carmen LaCross, Roy Spofford, Rhea Kerson and Harold Tower, all representatives of the Sprague University. We walk over by the platform and all of a sudden we see Dot Scovine faint. She has just come back from her good-will tour of South America for the convention. Our stretcher bearers, on hand for the convention, are Fred Jeanton, Charles Sutliff and Jerome Kronick. That's quite a stretcher they are carrying. It was an invention by Ardent Jensen. With the excitement over we wander over to the water cooler. Oh, there go the nurses with smelling salts-Shirley Williamson and Roberta Veber. Sylvia Sharkey and Ethel Wheeler have returned from their personal appearance tour of Europe in time for the great occasion. What's this we've heard about Isabel Izzy Jones' new push button library? It's run on the same principle as the Automat and was invented by our famous classmate Nancy Hillard. Over on the stairs we see Tom Burbank Bulshey, creator of the peeless orange, talking with Miles. Veronica Bobidoux and Theresa Fortin of the P10bidoux and Fortin Millinery Mart and Don Raina, photography editor for Atomic Arr Magazine. The speeches are beginning again-as the crowd thins out to the platform we spy Marjorie Rock planning new plays for her champion basketball team on the table cloth of the corner table. The mu- sicians of Patashnick's Palpitating Platter Orchestra led by Eddie Patashnick come down from the bandstand to speak with us. Bernard Lussier-the trumpet player-and Kenny Hopkins-bazooka player-bring forward The Canary, Mary Jane Ponti. Mary jane chats with us about the good old days at Drury and tells us of some of the Drury alumni who are now teaching there. Marie Rotolo, she tells us, is the present gym teacher-however, they have done away with gym at Drury so she doubles as the cooking teacher. The music teacher is Bernie Birkland-assisted by Josephine Maggoli and Eileen Dumouchel-all the teachers now have assistants which is only one of the many new practices in effect now at Drury developed by Principal Edward Pilot. The day is waning-most of the speeches have been given and according to radio commentator Phyl Anderson a landslide is predicted for the Republocrats. We collect our baggage and pay our bill at the desk to Virginia Peters, the clerk. As we pass down the lobby, we stop to collect information about our train schedules at the information desk run by Nancy Rotolo and Claire Roy, then at the souvenir shop which is run by Muriel Lillie and Shirley Granger with Dolores Harter, the buyer. It is one of the Wil- liam A. Richards chain. As we leave the hotel, a taxi skids to a stop in front of us. The agile driver jumps out and stows our baggage-as he lifts his cap we recognize our old friend John Whiffer,' Taft. Whif takes us for a delightful ride up North Smada's rolling boulevards and shows us many of the sights, some of which are Angie Lora'S and Myrtle C-ay's new bowling emporium and the new Parahawk theater. On the billings outside the theater we see the great names of Mary Mancuso, Lois Foster and Theresa Coutu in bright neon lights. At the terminal we enter into the hustling hubbub of the convention crowd and buy our magazines from Loretta Beauchamp, very fetching in a chic uniform. With a tear in our eyes and a feeling, already of nostalgia we board our train and take our leave once again of little old North Smada on the Hoosic.

Not long before, Drury had been just a name to us, but now it meant the beginning of a new life, for we were its newest members, the Freshmen, and incidently, we were as scared as we looked! That first day seemed endless--new classes, new faces, devilish glances from upper-classmen, em- barrassing mistakes, and Hnally that heavenly sound, the two o'clock bell! We were not completely free, however, for the upper-classmen had been waiting anxiously to pounce on us, and that's exactly what they did! They called it initiation, but closer inspection showed that to most Freshmen, it was just plain torture! The things they made us do! But, as quickly as we had become the center of attraction, we were forgotten, and high school life began to be fun. Before long, we had elected our class oflicers: President, Francis Cardillog Vice-President, Claire Roy, Secretary and Treasurer, Anthony Sacco, and Representative to the Student Council, Edward Horsfall. This was our first real undertaking, and having been successful in our own eyes, and the eyes of the school, we felt a little more firmly planted in Drury soil. The year then seemed to fly by, marked with numerous social events, with the Freshman Reception outstanding in our minds as our first high school dance. Our athletic endeavors also proved very satisfactory for both our football and basketball teams were successful in taking the Berkshire championship. All too soon, June arrived, which meant that we had completed the first round on our four-year journey. Our second year at Drury! Oh, what fun to see the petrified looks on the Freshmen! We, the wise foolsi' knew what the Frosh were going through but still we insisted upon terrifying them more. After the Freshman Reception, we found they were human and very nice. Elections were no trouble as everyone knew each other pretty well after struggling through the first year. Our nominations were held and the officers were as follows: President, Edward Pilot, Vice-President, Francis Cardillog Secretary-Treasurer, Anthony Sacco. A glorious football season began though the joy was darkened somewhat by those inevitable report cards. The class of '47 was declared to have the heartiest lungs in the whole school-for cheering, that is. Halloween and Dru-Echo certainly were on the prowl that fall -- not that report cards had anything to do with the gloom in which Drury's halls had been engulfed! Finally, the first snowfall, Christmas vacation and then those dreaded mid-year exams. Last minute cramming was prevalent as usual. Spring came and with it that giggly, drowsy, silly feeling. Ambition flew out the windows and couples could be seen lounging in the corridors. With the coming of the Junior Prom, excitement was again in the air. Our sophomore year just seemed to Hy by and soon we were looking forward to a glorious junior year. With some degree of excitement, we came back that next September to take our places as the Junior Class. By this time, of course, we thought we knew all and proceeded to display the fact. We were especially proud that We would at last be allowed to occupy the balcony seats in the auditorium, which were exclusively ours. Soon, we began campaigning for class officers - speeches were made, comments were given, votes were cast, and we elected as our officers: President, Alfred Provencher, Vice-President, Anthony Sacco, and Secretary and Treasurer, Carol Lenhoff. The rest 'of the fall calendar was well-rounded to include both social and athletic events - the Fresh- man Reception, the Sophomore Frolic, and a successful football season, even though we failed to take the Berkshire Championship in our annual game with Adams. We had hardly gotten into the swing of things, when Christmas vacation came along with all the customary festivities, including the Drury Prom which was largely attended. Cold weather also meant that thoughts would soon turn to another sport that could be enjoyed in the warmth of a gymnasium, and so our basketball season began. The Drury team and followers were in the best of condition, continuing so throughout a thrill-packed season, which brought us breath-takingly close to the Berkshire crown. The excitement was dulled somewhat by the inevitable mid-year exams, but they passed, as most un- pleasant things do, and presto -Drury was again hit by the annual attack of spring fever, which Nici' TQ Be A ,
