Ludlow High School Horeword For the first time in the history of the school, a year book has been published. The aim of The Static is to picture so clearly the life and activities of the high school, that all who read may see the past year unfold itself. . It is our wish that this, the contribution of the Senior Class of Nineteen T'wenty-Six, may succeed in bringing a new and vital spirit into Ludlow High. May this volume be a lasting and pleasant reminder for those who have been a part of it, and in some manner an introduction for those not so fortunate.

Ludlow High School MILDRED ELIZABETH BENWARE Ludlow, Mass., June 19, 1907 “She has a world of ready wealth. Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health. Truth breathed by cheerfulness.” Here comes the dainty little miss! Oh, she’s very shy? But seriously now, what would the Senior Class be without Millie? It wouldn’t exist, it would turn into a Lotus state! Millie preaches about punctuality, but she practices it—so you can- not complain! She’s always onthe honor roll yet she never is overworked and never misses a good time. How does she do it? We dare not ask her what she does with her spare time, for she doesn’t like to be kidded, but most any day she is to be found hovering over tiny crocus’ buds and forget- me-nots. With her abundance of helpfulness and cheerfulness, we have found Millie a pleasant com- panion. We of ’26 will miss her, but our loss will be Wheaton’s gain.

CHARLES VERNON BOOTH Ludlow, Mass., October 7, 1909 “On mathematics do I dote.” Charlie is one of the infants of the class of ’26, and his pranks are to be expected from one of his tender years. Being of great natural ability, Charlie has always ranked among the highest in studies. In mathematics the teachers have to be careful, as this child delights in pointing out their mistakes— no doubt he believes one is never too old to learn. Charlie is a real local boy, and, until his Junior year, would not look at a young lady. At this time, however, he decided to enter the social affairs of the school. In due time he was doing the “Tango” and other steps. Because of his great dexterity at this most popular of indoor sports, his attracting powers with the young ladies have developed to such an extent, that, at the present time, he is basking in the sunlight of female worship. ‘his here Charlie is student-manager of athletics and in this capacity has shown adeptness which has been a great aid to the school. Charles intends to enter college, where he hopes to continue his reign of popularity among the fair co-eds. We wish you all the success in the world, Charlie.
