Ludlow High School Che Juniors In September 1923, Ludlow High School could boast of twenty-six Freshmen, each firm in the resolve to have a brilliant high school career. How well we can remember. that first class meeting at which we chose the officers, who were to be our representatives throughout the eventful Freshman year. Sabin Gray was chosen president; James Wilson, Vice-President; Lillian Walsh, secretary; and Stanford Blish, treasurer. Our first move in the social line was to reproduce the play “Cinderella” which was first presented when we were ninth graders. Ellen Birnie was very charming in the leading role. Our hero, Stanford Blish, was unable to perform because of a sprained ankle. For this reason it was necessary for our coach, Miss Miriam Hunter, to play the hero’s part. Nineteen students returned to Ludlow High as Sophomores in 1924. At the first class meeting we chose James Wilson, president; Graham Anderson, Vice- president; Erwin Hadro, secretary; William Wainwright, treasurer. The Hallowe’en party, which we had at the Grange Hall was a great success. Almost everyone who attended was in masquerade costume. It was great fun guessing the identity of masked persons. Our chaperon, Miss O’Connell, suggested many games which met with general approval. During the Sophomore year three more of our members, we are sorry to say, deserted us. One of these, Graham Anderson, who was one of our star pupils, is continuing his education at Taft’s University. The other two were Alice Fuller and Lillian Walsh. Juniors! That sounded real important. With our number diminished to sixteen, we started the school year in 1925 as Juniors. The officers, whom we chose to represent us during this eventful year, were the following: Henry Pierce, president; Amedee Abair, vicepresident; Illen Birnie, secretary; and Albert Fuller, treasurer. The time came when we gave our first dance! We gave it with the Seniors in the late fall of 1925. As an affair, it was a splendid success but financially, well, it left our class bankbook in a weakened condition. Last but not least, comes the school newspaper the Parrot to whose success our class have greatly contributed. We hope our Parrot and ’27 will live trium- phantly for years to come! A. Renaud. 23

Ludlow High School Che Sophomores In1924 the Ludlow High School received the best quality of talking machine ever invented, in the form of a Freshman Class. We chose as officers, President, Alan Hovey; vice-president, Alice Williamson; secretary, Marian Elphinstone; treasurer, Rose Flynn. Our first and only activity of the year wasa “Straw Ride.” This was very successful and was enjoyed by all. We entered our Sophomore year with “banners flying.” In November we had a masquerade for members only. This got us in “Dutch” with the two older classes, because we used force to eject some of their members from our gathering. Next we gave a play entitled ““Birds’ Christmas Carol.” This put the class on a good footing as they showed they could use their talking ability for a good purpose as well as a bad one. Our class officers for 1925 and 1926 were: president, Emile Babineau; vice- president, Edward Kane; secretary, Lolita La Plante; treasurer, Samuel Mish- olovsky. The Class of ’28 will be known as the class who never murmured without cause to murmur! M. Brennan.
