Drury High Creates A Musical Tribute To Founder
Drury High School has been having fun with videos so when it was time to mark its founder's birthday, students naturally put on a music video.Nathan Drury, born more than century before North Adams was established, would have been 239 years old on March 20. The wealthy Florida farmer and town clerk and his wife, the intriguingly named Freelove, had no children. Instead, When Drury died in 1840 he left money to a nephew and two schools — a girls school that would become Mount Holyoke College and $3,000 for the establishment of Drury Academy in North Adams in 1843.
Or, as the students put it, "he had a dream that wouldn't go to waste."
We wonder what Mr. Drury would have thought of NathanPalooza — sung to a Rihanna tune.
