Ludlow High School MILDRED ELIZABETH BENWARE Ludlow, Mass., June 19, 1907 “She has a world of ready wealth. Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health. Truth breathed by cheerfulness.” Here comes the dainty little miss! Oh, she’s very shy? But seriously now, what would the Senior Class be without Millie? It wouldn’t exist, it would turn into a Lotus state! Millie preaches about punctuality, but she practices it—so you can- not complain! She’s always onthe honor roll yet she never is overworked and never misses a good time. How does she do it? We dare not ask her what she does with her spare time, for she doesn’t like to be kidded, but most any day she is to be found hovering over tiny crocus’ buds and forget- me-nots. With her abundance of helpfulness and cheerfulness, we have found Millie a pleasant com- panion. We of ’26 will miss her, but our loss will be Wheaton’s gain. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Chairman of Social Committee of A. A. 1; Minstrel Show 3; Literary Editor of Parrot and Static; Basket Ball 2, 3, 4; Hockey 4; Usher 3; Senior Play 4. CHARLES VERNON BOOTH Ludlow, Mass., October 7, 1909 “On mathematics do I dote.” Charlie is one of the infants of the class of ’26, and his pranks are to be expected from one of his tender years. Being of great natural ability, Charlie has always ranked among the highest in studies. In mathematics the teachers have to be careful, as this child delights in pointing out their mistakes— no doubt he believes one is never too old to learn. Charlie is a real local boy, and, until his Junior year, would not look at a young lady. At this time, however, he decided to enter the social affairs of the school. In due time he was doing the “Tango” and other steps. Because of his great dexterity at this most popular of indoor sports, his attracting powers with the young ladies have developed to such an extent, that, at the present time, he is basking in the sunlight of female worship. ‘his here Charlie is student-manager of athletics and in this capacity has shown adeptness which has been a great aid to the school. Charles intends to enter college, where he hopes to continue his reign of popularity among the fair co-eds. We wish you all the success in the world, Charlie.

Che Statir LOUIS JOSEPH BOUSQUET Ludlow, Mass., May 21, 1908 “God hid a whole world of good nature in thy heart.” Joe, who came to the Ludlow Schools from the Parochial School in Indian Orchard, has made his mark on the heart of every member of the class. Good natured, always willing, often made the goat in some school prank, he is still the same very happy, smiling, “‘betting,” Joe. His good scholarship is shown in math, where he is an exceptionally clever student at solving geometry problems. We know that when Joe goes into business with his father, the firm ‘‘Bousquet Son” will soon lead in the contracting field. The joy that his classmates will feel when he publishes his book on ‘‘Parlia- mentary Procedure’ will be unbounded. Until then, we feel that we shall be unable to conduct a class meeting properly. Soccer 2, 3; Baseball 2, 3; Football 4; Secretary of Class 4; Vice-President of Athletic Association 4; Class Play 4; WILLIAM JANES CAMPBELL Ludlow, Mass., May 21, 1910 “Great things come in small packages.” “Husky,” “Bulky,” and “Billy” the three great—. They are all very deserving nicknames. One readily agrees to that after seeing his enormous five feet four frame. Had your iron today? If not there’s some irony. ‘To get down to real facts, Janes is quite a fellow. He managed to get through the Ludlow grammar schools and has reached the dignified stateliness of a Senior. Further proofs of his ability are the cup that he has carried away for Diving Championship in ?’23, ‘knuckle-down”’ champ in ’24, and the insignia for Junior Life- Saving in 725. Billy Boy likes to swim, skate, ski, and last but not least play golf. In the future “Husky” intends to: 1. Grow taller (although he has grown quite a bit lately.) 2. Win Shorthand Championship of World. 3. Win Open Golf Championship. P. S$. He wants to be a world wild hero. Minstrel Show 3; Entertainment Committee 2; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3. 10
