EMORY ADAMS HARTWELL 1% R. E. Adams Hartwell, one of the first instructors in the Fitchburg High School, has the satisfaction of knowing that he is loved, honored and respected by every student and graduate of the high school in which he has for so many years successfully performed his duties. Mr. Hartwell was born in West Fitchburg, April 24, 1850, and in June, 1871, he graduated from the Fitchburg High School, having the great honor of being valedictorian of his class. He immediately entered Amherst college, from which institution he graduated in June, 1874, with an excellent record. His experience as a teacher began in the Ashburnham high school during the spring term of 1875. In the fall of the same year he took up his duties as instructor in sciences in the F. H. S., where he remained until December, 1905, when a most unfortu- nate illness compelled him to take a leave of absence. The loss of so valuable a man from the teaching staff ' is keenly felt by all, and the class of 1906, the alumni, and the undergraduates mutually tender their best wishes for a most speedy recovery, and sincerely hope that they will soon have the pleasure of seeing Mr. Hartwell back in his old position.

FOREWORD TTAVING passed through and overcome the many trials and obstacles which have so plentifully strewn our path, we now take pleasure in presenting the Class Book of 1906 to the alumni, undergraduates, and friends of the class, sincerely hoping that they will look for the good points of the book and pass over the bad ones. If, while perusing these pages, you find some joke or grind upon your most respected self, don’t throw the book into the fireplace in disgust, or lay awake nights planning some terrible revenge upon the poor editors; simply turn over a page and pos- sibly you will find some hit upon your neighbor, and, if you are human, you will forget the slam upon 3 ourself. The thanks of the Editorial Board are warmly expressed to Messrs. William A. Emerson and Frank C. Hoyt, whose wise and timely suggestions have helped us out of many a dark hole. We also wish to thank the merchants and business men for having helped us out so royally in the line of advertisements, and we request the members of our class to return the favor by patron- izing our advertisers, which are of the best.
