B Ch'f April 12, 1909 t l'here's inany a brown, brown eye, they say, But none so bright as ininefl' Had you lived in the neighborhood of Crittenden C,il'tlI1l1Il2L1' School anytiine between 1915 and 1918 you could not have inissed seeing Birchie and that little dark haired. dark-eyed girl together all of the tiine. But as boys do change when they start high school he did, too, and we soon found hiln amusing himself with various other young ladies. ln other ways. too, he has changed, he was once very shy and bashful. VVe have heard that he got homesick while spending a few hours in Griswoldville. Now, however, he is far from that, he became brave enough to spend a whole lnonth last sunnner at the C. M. T. C. at Devens. He is very industrious, working afternoons in the Lamson Sz Good- now Manufacturing Co. when he does not have to help fix the skating rink or rake the baseball diamond. YVe are not sure as to the ways he spends his evenings. we know that he likes to listen in on the radio. bowl. and ride around in a Studebaker. We hope he will inake good his intention to enter Northeastern University this fall. When you get to Boston, Birchie, be sure to use your brown eyes only to study.

July 16, 1908 HI say littleg but when time shall serve. there shall be smiles. When you see a Ford drive up to school, stop, deliver a young lady and then go on. you inay be sure Gladys is arriving. She is very fond of cars, especially Fords. Perhaps it is because her father owns a garage or because her chauffeur drives one. Although she always seemed to be a very quiet person, we fear she is a bit hard to satisfy. She was born in Shelburne Falls but did not grow up here. Thinking there might be some better things in other places, she nioved way. After trying several towns, she returned to settle down for good. Next year she plans to go to Bliss Business College in North Adams. Then, when she has finished there, we iinagine she'll come back and be general secretary for the Bruffee Ford Sales Service Co.

Catharine is the class baby in age, but not in size. VVe do not know whether she entered Arms so young just to be with her brother. or whether she realized the fame to which '27 would rise. In either case we know she is glad of the choice that she made, For the first year or two we didn't know a whole lot about Kitty. She always appeared to be a very inodel young lady who never did anything out of place. However, the more we were with her the better we knew her. First we heard about a certain Ford. Then after Christmas there were stories of a bouquet of roses. The Senior sleigh ride Cperhaps we'd better call it a walk in her ease3 furnished the cliinax. Who knows what we may hear next? Her future plans are to become a librarian. May we be per- initted to suggest that you take up your work in VVest Haven, Connecticut, or perhaps at Yale University, Catharine?
