We love thee, Drury High! Drury. Mother, Drury, we are leaving Now is the time to say adieu. Four years we've spent in thy hallowed halls, Sharing all our joys and sorrows. Now our hearts are filled with sadness, Parting is so hard to bear, our Drury. From thy inspiration gaining Courage to face the world. Denise Bourgeois Marilyn Dunton I N15 CLASS HISTORY Our scene opens in a college dormitory as two girls who are to share 'a room are unpacking their suitcases and are preparing to give their new room a home-like atmosphere. Just think, here we are beginning our college term and do you realize that we're also beginning a new half century? I know, it doesn't seem possible that our high school life is over. Why! I can still remember that feeling of anticipation, or was it appre- hension, on that first day of our freshman year. That was some day! We freshmen were dazedly walking through the halls trying to find our classrooms under the helpful direction of our upper classmenf' I can understand now why passers-by looked at us as they did. We must have given the appearance of painted Indians! We forgot our grievances, though, when the upperclassmen offi- cially welcomed us at the Freshmen Reception. Then we really began to feel at home. Because this was our first taste of high school life, we doubly enjoyed the events that followed. Do you remember the exciting football games we attended? Drury won the Berkshire County Championship that year. There were some wonderful assemblies, too. I think one of the most effective was the Armistice Day assembly. Miss Sherman's Thumbs-Up Club, along with the Drury Alumni Committee, presented a bronze plaque to the Drury students who served their country in World War II. By this time we had elected our class officers: Willie Grant, Presi- dent, George Matrigali, Vice-President, and Irwin Less, Secretary,Treas- urer. We drifted along through the basketball and baseball seasons, and having successfully withstood the horrors of final exams, we concluded our first year. We started our second year by winning the Berkshire County Championship again. That was some record, wasn't it? Say! that was the year that we welcomed Mr. Robert Taylor as our new Superintendent of Schools. We elected new class officers: Bill Grant, again was Presidentg Chuck Miller was Vice-President, and Ronnie Beauchamp was Secretary- Treasurer. That was an eventful year, wasn't it? The Sophomore Frolic which we put on that year turned out to be a huge success. We had some entertaining assemblies, then, too. The talent shows among the classes stimulated competition, for these would decide the performers for the Minstrel Show. Oh, I'll never forget the Minstrel Show and the Music Festival that the students put on to clear up the cafeteria deficit. It just goes to show what co-operation can do and it was a wonder- ful way to end our Sophomore year. Many changes took place during our Junior year. Yes, the Drury Banner replaced the Rumbleseat which we had had for so many years. And a new organization, the Drury Baton Twirlers, made their debut. For the third class elections, Bill Grant remained President, Irwin Less became Vice-President, and Ronnie Beauchamp, Secretary-Treas-- urer. Another year, another minstrel show and again a huge success. Turning to the more serious assemblies, a stirring presentation of The Juggler was given. Miss Lunney's Dramatic Club did a wonder- ful job! Then after Christmas, following the rush of mid-year exams, our basketball team really buckled down and won the Western Massachu- setts Small High School Basketball Tournament? Following basketball season the Junior Class put on its annual play. It was an unusual presentation, the old favorite, Arsenic and Old Lace? The actors outdid themselves in their interpretations of the char- actersf' Then plans were underway for the Junior Prom. The hall was beautifully decorated and the music was wonderful. Everyone had a marvelous time! Some lucky Juniors found that studying really paid off. They received Nu Sigma pins and later were given a banquet. They certainly were lucky! In fact, all the Juniors will agree that they had a pretty wonderful year. In 1950 Miss Theresa Sullivan, a well-loved teacher of mathematics here at Drury for many years, retired. She was a wonderful teacher and I certainly learned my algebra. We all missed her and were sorry to see her leave. Returning to school for our last unforgettable year at Drury, our first task was to elect our class officers. Oh! I remember. Bill Grant set quite a record! He was our Pres- ident for the fourth consecutive year. Then things really started rolling. Everybody was talking about the Class Play. It was Our Miss Brooks , which was enjoyed by all? Yes, and that was the first year that we elected two Vice-Presidents in order to represent both the boys and girls. Denise Bourgeois and Stanley Cramer were elected to fill those offices. Russell Hubley was Secretary and Don Colt, Treasurer. Many novel ideas were introduced that year. Remember the Field Day that was introduced for the Freshmen? This was an effort to do away with initiation and it met with great success. Much to their humiliation, the Sophomores were beaten by the Freshmen. There were some memorable assemblies that year, also. Remem- ber the Thanksgiving Play and the Christmas Pageant? They were both put over very well. Then Good Government Day election came up. Chuck Miller was chosen to represent Drury. Later on in the year, we had elections to choose the D. A. R. Good Citizen. The election was made on the basis of possessing in an out- standing degree the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Our class elected Helen Hunter to attend this conference in Boston. Not to change the subject, but do you remember the large absentee list that Drury had? About 202 of the student body were out of school due to the flu epidemic. But everyone forgot about that as the days flew by. In May we had our stirring Memorial Day exercises in which Seniors participated. Then came Prom time and midst the gaiety of the Reception, we realized that our last year was slowly drawing to a close. Yes, then the excitement of Commencement really began. Re- member the nice time we had at the Senior Tea and the Class Banquet? And remember how proud we were to be wearing our caps and gowns for the first time on Class Night? Well, we're certainly not getting our room fixed up with all this talk. Yes, we'll have to hurry now, but I'll never forget our four wonder- ful years at Drury! Our scene closes in the same college dormitory as the two girls re- sume their unpacking and continue working but not with relived mem- 'ories of what most people agree to be the happiest days of our lives. Marion Hofsepian Helen Hunter CLASS PROPHECY Princess Drury, with a wave of her fairy godmother's magic wand, has fallen into deep slumber. So deep is this sleep that she immedi- ately begins to dream. While attending a dance in honor of the Queen of the future, the Princess is introduced to the Queen and her charming son, Prince Future, who takes her by the hand and leads her into the world of to- morrow. Here she learns the destiny of her former classmates. She is amazed to discover that Henry Chalifoux is the heavyweight boxing champion of the world.

The Circus Parade with the band under the direction of James Loomis, resplendent in his bright red suit with brass buttons, is a final touch to the pomp and splendor of the Circus.

Enjoy them while you can. How often we have been admonished by those words without realizing their true value. Some of us will continue our school- ing, it's true, but for many of us, classes and teachers are, even now, only memories - pleasant, but dimming as the years go by. But would it be possible for us ever to completely forget Drury and all she has meant to us? I think not. The lessons we have learned during these past four years have not all been from textbooks. Perhaps the most important subject taught is that of getting along with other people, and yet you won't find it on the curricula. It has no special teacher. and no special classroom. Ex- perience is the textbook, and everyday actions the textbooks. Although we didn't pass every test and shall probably fail some in the future. we have absorbed enough knowledge in that particular subject to take our places as responsible citizens of our community. The variety of friend- ships we have made are the proof of the success of this course. Graduation is the dividing line between the innocent, carefree ex- istence of childhood and the responsible life of an adult. It is. in a sense, both the beginning and the end-the end of a happy life in which all our decisions were made for us and we had nothing to do but enjoy ourselves, and the beginning of a life which will be only as rich and full as we ourselves make it. In these uncertain times, who can tell if we will ever again be as happy as we have been at Drury? As we leave the surroundings with which we are so familiar, it is with wonder, and perhaps fear as to what the future holds for us. We know, however, that we have been well prepared to take our place in society, and we are grateful to the teachers for their help and guidance. From the depth of our hearts we say humbly and sincerely, Thank you, Drury. We'l1 miss you. Janet Murphy. EN FOGTBALL . x, if . ' af: 2, ' ' L 1 wil .

This team brought back to Drury the Berkshire Crown for the third time in four years. After losing two games and tieing one, our team finally came into its own by winning the next four out of five games. The Northern Berkshire wins were convincing ones. St. Joseph High School, Pitts- field was beaten 20-13, Pittsfield High School conquered 26-20 and the arch rival from Adams fell before the Blue Devils in a sea of mud 14-6 to decide the championship. Congratulations are in order for Bud Dougherty, Spitter Lefave, Blacky Bush and Tim Cimonetti for being chosen All Berkshire. And at the fine banquet feting our team, blocking and tackling awards were given to Al Dougherty and George Lefave, respectively. Gerald Delisle was presented with the good sportsmanship award in mem- ory of the deceased father of Coach Del Negro. Congratulations are also in order for the wonderful coaching job done by Coach Del Negro and his staff to prove that they are the best in the Berkshires. Congratulations to our 1950 football team and may next year's football team have as much success!

Irwin Kerson Coach: Mr. Charles Boisvert SENIOR LETTERMEN Lawrence Brothers Jerry Montesanti Robert Mancini Alfred Roy Neil Tanguay Season Record: Won 9. Lost 10 This team's losing record was due to its inability to win away from home. During the season only two games were lost at home and all of the victories were on the home court. Outstanding victories included an overtime decision over Bennington. Pittsfield. Adams and Troy High Schools were upset by large margins while we lost to the William-s College Freshmen by two points in the last five seconds. Jerry Montesanti who played on the Varsity for the first time this year led the team to several victories. The playmaking of Tiny Mancini was among the finest in the league, while Stan Cramer's rebounding and Al Roy's consistent play were up with the leaders. Dick Lawton showed his ability with exceptional rebounding and his high scoring. Here is a captain and player who has helped to put Drury's name on the sport's map. Good reserves like Neil Tanguay and Larry Brothers are hard to find and were more than valuable to our team. All due praise and gratitude must be given to Coach Boisvert who spent much time and patience working with the team.
