Ludlow High Schaal JAMES LEIPER Ludlow, Mass., August 30, 1907 “Be wise with speed: “A fool at forty is a fool indeed.” Jimmy was born in the respectable town of Ludlow and has received his knowledge in this town and Scotland. That is sufficient information about his early life. His high school career? Well, first he’s the “‘shiek” type. He is not, however, the tall, manly kind as he stands only five feet, four inches. His hobbies? Oh, necking, arguing, and studying. Studying is not his own idea of a hobby, but parental affection forces him. Although small in stature, he is large in ideas, for he plans to go to Worcester Tech. and later enjoy life. There is one question concerning Jimmy that haunts our minds—Why does he stand in Tom’s window?

ROBERT FRASER LOWE Ludlow, Mass., August 14, 1907 “ee Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition,’ “Chubby” has alwavs attended the Ludlow Schools. He is not exactly fat, but is just pleas- ingly plump. ‘“‘Chub” has a jovial nature, always ready to fool or make a wise crack. He very seldom worries. Possibly he does when thinking of his next Trig class. A good scholar is Chubby. Oh! So studious! His hobbies have a wide field of variation. Foremost in his list is that female specie known as woman. Lately ‘‘Chubby”’ has been slipping. Hiking is another hobby. He hikes to school every day. Quite a fisher is ‘‘Chub- by.”? He has many a fish story to tell. Reporting is another pastime. “Chubby” has no future plans at all except to do as little work as possible.

Che Static ELEANOR MARION HOWE Ludlow, Mass., June 13, 1908 Eleanor’s slogan “Be ruled. You shall go at nine o'clock.” Who’s that girl? Why that’s Ellie who likes to read love stories and eat candy. What does she like to do the very best? Swim, regardless of any er-er “bugs” or ‘“‘sticks’ maybe! FE llie certainly is the business lady of our class, for she improves (?) her mind by working at the Ludlow Library. It is merely rumored that she is very strict in regard to the nine o’clock law. Woe unto him who comes one minute late! Oh, but Eleanor is very distinc- tive, for she has the honor of being the only red head who lights the Senior Class. Poor Ellie doesn’t think red hair is pretty, so she’s contem- plating dyeing it yellow. Good luck to you, Ellie. May all your dreams come true.

RICHARD MICHAEL KANE Ludlow, Mass., June 2, 1908 “Three-fifths of him genius and Two-fitths sheer stubborness.” Dick first saw the light of day in this good old town of Ludlow, and, deeming it his duty, has honored the town with his person for the eighteen long years of his present life. M. T. has attended the Ludlow Schools only, and by hard study, has managed to attain the title of Senior. Luckily for the class of ’26, this most illustrious member of our class received a double promotion in 721, making it possible for us to enjoy his most agreeable com- pany. Dick was a very bashful boy until his Junior year when he tried dancing. This proved his Waterloo, for now he is one of our most rabid ad- mirers of the fairer (?) sex. Among his other accomplishments, it may be stated that Dick was one of the mainstays in Ludlow’s ’25 football team. For three years the chorus derived considerable pleasure from his wonderful voice. Sad to relate, Dick has disappointed many by his reluctance to join the chorus again this year. Richard plans to tour the world after graduation. We all hope your ambitions (?) are realized, Dick.

Ludlow High School EVELYN ELSIE NICHOLS Ludlow, Mass., August 17, 1906 “4 sweet girl, who loves the charms of home.” It took us quite a while to really get acquainted with Fvelvn, but when we did, we found a girl of sterling worth. She is always ready with a helping hand and her smile is never lacking. We thought she was not very athletic but she treated us all toa huge surprise, when, in her Senior year she came out for hockey and made the team. She is also very good at strumming a uke, and is one of the stars in a Uke Club. Evelyn is a home loving person. We are not sure but we think that she likes to “‘sit by the fire and sew a fine seam.”” ‘That type nowadays is rare. May she find happiness wherever she is. Vice-President of J. W.

Although vanquished, he could argue still.” Pete is one of the best liked members of his class. He was born in Ludlow and has lived here all of his life, but does not expect to live there the rest of his life. Pete is known by ‘‘Chepit,” “Ashley,” and “Varsity.” The Fighting Frenchman is a modest youth, quick to anger and long to argue. Pete really is quite a talker and can build an argu- ment around nothing. He spends most of his time in the graceful art of dragging and inhaling scented cigars and corn cobs. He likes school for the knowledge imparted to him by the teachers. As to the future Pete plans to be a physical director. He likes to advise—now before he goes, here’s one bit of advice for him ‘“‘Keep your shirt in, Ashley boy!” Baseball 1, 2, 3; Soccer 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Football 4; Chorus 2, 3, 4; French Play 3; Social Committee 3; Minstrel Show 3; Treasurer of A.
