Hofard Philip Eldridge Shelburne Falls, Mass. July 14. 1910 'tAt whose sight all the other stars hide their diminished heads. Howard was born in Shelburne Falls, July 14, 1910, and until a year ago spent most of his time there. But all good things come to an end sooner or later and this was no exception. We don't know whether the idea of purchasing a car originated with meeting the lady, or whether the idea of meeting the lady came as a result of his becoming the owner of a high class roadster. We do know that after the purchase of that vehicle instead of calling 10 Ashfield Street to communicate with the gentleman under discussion. we called Shelburne-ah-oh-what's the number, Howard? VVe don't deny that, as a Sheik, this august per- son is a shining star, or at least the owner of a shining Star. Wie think that this member of our illustrious class is going to be a great financier as he has certainly started in well and has an 'inlcrcsl in the class of '29. Howard is uncertain as to his future. but we are sure he will be a credit to us. General Courseg Baseball Manager C355 President of Science Club C45g Chorus C153 Usher C35. Eisinflharlgsypould Shelburne Falls, Mass. GUM May 21, 1909 None but himself can be his parallel. When Goulie came into this world on May 21. 1909, he looked up and said, goo-goo ga wanna base ball glove, ook bla-bla. That is, we heard he did, although we must confess that we are unable to 1'ender any proof of this statement. If he didn't, he should have done so be- cause he certainly has been following that line ever since. Wlhile in Baker Grammar School, Elgin starred on their team. He came to Arms and almost immediately took possession of first base to the exclusion of all other would-be first sackers. This leader in the field of our national sport has, to our knowledge. but one physical, mental, and moral failing. This great handicap is his eanabalistic love for hot dogs. You will note that I did not say a hot dog. but hot dogs and his idea of how many should be eaten by a healthy young man is apt to run into ex- tremely high immbers. When Gould attends a bazaar, lawn party. or any functions of this nature. his parents are besieged for weeks with bills for dozens upon dozens of hot weenies with plenty of mustard. We think that if any kind friend should wish to make this youth sublimely happy he would present him with a Lucky Dog first baseman's mit.

Gravesie Irie July 22, 1908 f'For he's a jolly good fellow, that nobody can denyfl If you have been to a high school dance during the last four years surely you will remember a fellow who has come in late, Yes, that is Ira and most always there has been a brown haired maiden with himg you surely have noticed her. If you haven't been to any of the dances or other events at Arms you can't. powibly have missed seeing a certain Chevrolet being driven around at all hours of day or night, particularly on the East Buckland road. Well, Ira is one of the fellows who makes a living going to fairs and judging cattle, in other words he belongs to the Agricultural Department and the stock judging team. He has won many prizes in the past four years and helped to obtain for the school several valuable silver loving cups. I really don't know how the class could ever have survived with- out him. Who would have done all the strenuous work in trimming for our dances. like climbing out on the girders to fasten wires and balanc- ing on the top of a shaky step-ladder to fasten streamers? Who would have done all our errands or brought John to help in these. if it hadn't been for Ira and his car? Next year he's going to stay at home and try out all the things he's been learning about how to run a farm. If they work as they are supposed to and he likes farming he's going to settle down and be a 'treall' farmer. In closing we will leave as a prophecy a short quotation from Longfellow. t'And by and by they shall marry.

During his first year at Arms John was very quiet, and only a few ot' his cl:issm:Ltes knew him very well. However, one thing alone served to living him into the view of 'the entire class. At. the Eastern States Iflxposition he won :L prize. which, for one having had liut. one year ot' agricultural training, was an almost: miraculous accomplishment.. The class of 1927 immediately saw that, John was :L lIlt9llll9C'l' ot' whom they might. well lie proud. and so-elected him president. Since that. time he has held an important part in all school activities. Although these honors lmrought: him many feminine admirers it, was not. until the end ot' his Junior year that we noticed that he paid any particular attention to them. Then we lmegan to realize that he was spending consideralmle time on Pleasant, Street. of course, we knew John and lilgin were good friends, Do not take from what..has been said that, we consider him :L model young man. He is just like other normal lmoys, likes to cut. up :ind also to tease. He seems to take a. special delight in the latter occupation and spends much of his spare time practicing on his sister. John intends to go to M. A. C.. where he will study forestry.

Rachel' Marie Burrinswn Heath, Mawaelulsettts Ray . June 20. 1909 A smile is the same in all lainguagesfl The little town of Heath, Massac-husettts, scarcely realized the gift, it received on June 20. 1909, but as time went: on and Ray lmecalue :L little older they really noticed her worth. When the little school up there had imparted all its knowledge to her, she journeyed to Arms with the rest ot' the noted class of '27. She has prepared for her eareer in the commercial course tickling the typewriter keys and writing short- hand signs. However, we notice she is glad when Friday comes, and we have heard that there is someone in Heath who is very attruettive. Rachel intends. to study in a businese college next. year. Probably the Northampton Commercial College will have the pleasure ot' instructing her and her inseparable friend, Isabel. Commercial Courseg Chorus C19 C29 C39 C49g Glee Clulm C39 C49.

She always liked athletics and recently took up long dis- tance walking. Her training started on a certain night in Feliruary, when the Seniors went on their sleighride. Dancing is another of her delights. Whether here or in any other town. a. dance always attracts her and particularly those in Ashfield. By the way she spends quite a lmit. of time there. Just visiting relatives. she says, hut we wonder. Al- though lirought. up and educated ih Shellmurne Falls, she pI:ms to leave next. year and go to Boston. Einerson College ot' C9ratory is the school she has ehosen. perhaps because it: is just. :rround the corner from li. U. College of Liheral Arts. Whether she is planning to study draiua.. heeome n movie actress. or take up oratory we do not. know. lmut. it will lie something along that line.
