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
