Harriettg Eunice Purrington N01-thampton, Mass, Kun uHa yn August 1 1908 - i Quiet, gentle, good, wearing the rose of womanhoodf' One sultry August day Harriette opened her brown eyes and gazed upon the world. She was destined to a roving life, and moved around a great deal until she finally arrived in Shelburne. Here she finished grammar school and, apparently liking Shelburne, she decided to enter the notable institution known as Arms Academy. At Arms she took up domestic science. She has done very well in this course and we all know she will make someone a good little wife. NVe wonder who will be the lucky man, Harriette, She likes Chevrolet coaches, gray preferred, drivers not excepted. For two years Harriette drove a horse and then one spring morning she was seen driving a Ford sedan. In the last two years the Ford has seen seine hard usage but it rims as well as ever. Harriette is as yet undecided what she will do. She is thinking some of getting a position in Greenwich, Conn. Only a short ride from Yale University. Harriettel Household Arts Course5 Chorus C13 C235 Science Club C43. Russell Delgeldsfm Purringfvn Shattuckville, Mass. RUSS Mai-ch 4, 1909 All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players5 And one man in his time Woos many hearts. On March 4. 1909, the people of the little town of Shattuckville paid little heed to the inauguration of William Howard Taft to the presidency of the United States, for on that day in their midst was inaugurated into this world one of the presidents of the class of 1927. We are little concerned with his life until the fall of 1923 when the present Senior Class entered Arms Academy. As treasurer, a member of the social committee, marshall, and president, he has worked faithfully for the welfare of '27. There is no sport in which he has not participated and in each one he has succeeded well, so well, in fact, that this year he has served as captain of two teams. His work in basket ball also occasioned the famous ride in the ice wagon. As to Russcll's social life, it has been extensive and varied. He fully believes in the saying that. Variety is the spice of lifel' and so has lots of spice in his. VVhat a pity he did not keep that old Ford sedan as a souvenir of all his rendezvous! At present his interests seem to be centered in the Sophomore claw, but next year who knows where they may be. As yet he has not decided whether to be a clerk in a grocery store, go to Northeastern. or to spend his time hunting woodchucks, Preparatory Courseg Baseball C13 C23 C33 C435 Captain C435 Basket ball C23 C33 C435 Captain C435 Track C435 Class President C33 C435 Class Treasurer C135 Social Committee C13 C23 C335 Prize Speaking C435 Marshall C335 School Play As You Like Itl' C435 Treasurer of Science Club C435 Student Board C33 C435 Chorus C13 C235 Drawing C13 C23 C335 Delegate to Hi Y Conference C33. - - ' Colrain, Mass, Mmmslsiiisisna Elizlggliy' January 7, 1909 And ever since the conquest. have been other broken hearts. Minnie thought this world was too dead and needed a little pep so she came down to liven it up. I guess she did alright! No sooner did she settle in a small town than it took the title of Colrain City. She had heard that the Toonerville Trolley led many to knowledge, so one day she boarded it and found that it led to Arms Academy. She entered our school. and after a short time became well acquainted. She was known as a good sport. If there was ever any work to be done, Minnie was the one to do it. Clf there was any mischief to be done. Minnie was usually at the bottom of it.3 She brought honor to the present Senior class in her Sophomore year by winning the prize speaking contest, and everyone will remember how well she took her part as leading lady in UAS You Like It. She is also a worthy mem- ber of the Pro Merito Society, and has won enough typing awards to start a pawn shop. Minnie is rather undecided as to her future but we're not. because we know what it means when one wears a flashy diamond and is f'undecided as to the future.
