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.

l Le'- 'a,.?5:iJ0h 0n Shelburne Falls, Mass. June 22, 1909 She was good as she was fair, to know her was to love herll' It is not necessary to state the kind of a day it was when Leona made her first appearance in this great big world. Vlilierever she goes, sunshine goes with her. She is merry as the day is long, and they are quite- long sometimes, aren't they. Lonie? 5Ve don't wonder a. certain boy in the Senior class was captivated by her charming, ever-present snnleg soiiie of the 1'est of us have been. but of course we knew it was in vain. Leona blushes sometimes. particularly in French class. She finds it just a bit embarassing when asked to give the future of the verb, aller, to boldly say, j'irai, tu iras, il im. It is queer, too, since she is so familiar with that sound. She is planning to go to Normal School. and then teach children. She may go to New York City or to Keene, N. H., but as the farming is not too good in New York we think probably she will go to Keene.

Hflfenglav 17082251 ,D Shelburne Falls, Mass. om em' May 31, 1910 Improbe amor! Quid non mortalia pectora cogis? Helen. is ai great, horsewoman. liver since she was a small child she has had ponies and horses, and on bright spring afternoons when you see her riding along at full speed, you know she is heading for some quiet country road on which to practice 11ew feats. But. we must not dwell on this long, for she has too many other accomplishments which we must mention. She has tried nearly everything, prize-speaking, dranuatics, glee elub, orchestra. class offices, and basket ball. She has been active in all social events since she entered Arms. Her sunny disposition and friendliness have won for her many friends both in school and outside. As to any particular masculine friends we can say very little. They change as often as the wind. Ohl no, we donlt mean Helen is fickle, far from that, Init she ean't bear to be too partial to any one of them. Next year she is going to Middlebury. After that we are not sure whether she will teach, work for the Fred T. Ley Company, or run a green house in Hawley.

Rena Evelvg Lilfy , H Ashfield, Mas. C'-'b Pwkles August 3, 1909 'tSome think the world is made for fun and frolie, and so do I. Rena was born in the quiet little town of Ashfield, but her residence there was of short, duration, for she came to Buckland to live when only about a year old. She attended the Buckland Graminar School for seven years, and having obtained all the knowledge this school could offer, she decided to enter Arms Academy. As means of conveyance to Arms, Rena rode on the 'l'row's Buckland Hack, where she helped to pass the time away by her desire to cut up,'l but she also used to spend some time studying to and from school. Perliaps this explains why she is a Pro Merito student. Rena, otherwise known as Pickles, acquired this latter name from her tendency to over-eat. pickles at a sugar-eat at Colrain which she attended on a sleigh ride. If you want to know any more, just ask Rena and shr-'ll tell you her whole history including the motorcycle ride that she had last, sununer while working at the Way- side Inn. As to R.ena's future, we ean't quite understand why she is taking up teaching after the rumors we have heard of her experience in disciplining a boys' class in Sunday School. Perhaps she'll improve after a course at Bridgewater, l General Courscg Chorus C15 C25 C35 C453 Deblltlllg Clllb C453 Glef' Club C35 C455 Student Board C455 Drawing C35 C455 Recreation C455 Capt-ain of Ladies Home Journal Contest C455 Pro MC5l'1L0, Maid and the Middy C45. 12
