The bench is located near the former main entrance at Colegrove Park Elementary School next to the nurse's office.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — One of the last classes to graduate from the old Drury High School made sure their time there is not forgotten.
The class of 1973 recently held its 50th class reunion and, as part of their celebration, gifted a bench that is located Colegrove Park Elementary School.
Colegrove on East Main Street was originally Drury High until the "new" high school was built on South Church Street. The class of 1974 was the last to graduate from there.
The bench is in the hall near what used to be the main entrance of Drury, and is located outside of the nurse's office for students to have a place to wait until Nurse Jill can see them. The bench's plaque notes it is a gift of the Drury High School Class of 1973.
The North Adams Public Schools thanks the class of 1973 for their donation.

Clarksburg Offers Town Administrator Post to Boucher
By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday voted to offer the position of town administrator to Ronald Boucher, pending contract negotiations.
"I think Ron's the best option, the safest option to move forward," said board member Colton Andrews.
Boucher is a former Select Board chair, town moderator and Finance Committee member and current member of the Planning Board. He's currently a regional sales manager for global EcoLab. He was notified during the meeting and agreed to meet with the board on his contract Friday morning.
Should he accept the post, he will replace Carl McKinney; the board declined to renew his contract and his final day is Friday.
Boucher was one of three candidates interviewed for the post; the others were Bryana Malloy, manager of industry relations manager for MassHire, and Kenneth Ward, Williamstown's information technology director.
The board members agreed that Malloy, who unsuccessfully ran for the Select Board in June, and Boucher were their preferred candidates.
Chair Robert Norcross gave a strong case for Malloy, citing her experience in applying for and administering grants.
Jesse Saylor of TSKP Studio, the school project designer, said the conductivity of the soils were comparable or better than three recent school completed in Connecticut.
