Your idea of creating a drawer class is not only a good Ruby practice:
it is THE sound object-oriented direction to take: the cabinet holds
drawers, and the drawer holds objects. Experiment with creating such a
class, and assigning to it the property of holding objects: the add,
remove, and test methods should belong there.

Your cabinet will then contain an array (or maybe a hash) of
drawers. And your drawer will contain an array (or maybe a hash) of
objects.

If you are not familiar with hashes or arrays, there is much to read
about them. If you are not familiar with the Ruby implementation of
arrays and hashes, you can type this:

ri Array

and 

ri Hash

These manual pages are quite well-made...

Happy coding
