Cudlom High School JAMES LESLIE HARRIS Ludlow, Mass., May 19, 1907 “Of their own merits, Modest men are quiet.” “Cy” or “Ike” first appeared on this earth in Ludlow and has attended the Ludlow Schools since he started on the weary task of seeking an education. “Ike” is of an easy going nature, never ready to find fault or jump to hasty conclusions. ““Cy’s” hobbies are hunting and fishing. Heowns a dog that has captured many a prize. So far “Tke” has no plans for the future, but we know he will be a success in any form of business he may take up.

ALFRED NORMAN HILL Ludlow, Mass., May 25, 1908 “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined.” Alfred started with this illustrious class in 1913 and continued throughout with the exception of a short time passed in the schools of West Springfield. Nehi states that this lapse was the saddest event in his existence. He now intends to graduate with us in June. Al is quite a dancer, making a specialty of the Charleston, in which he is the most proficient member of our class. Naturally, in dancing, he meets many young ladies, and Nehi has taken full advantage of this opportunity to list fair acquain- tances in many ports. Al was one of the main- stays in the basketbal! teams of ’24—’25 and ’25—26, holding down the center position. He has also displayed his athletic ability in football. Nehi will study engineering. We know he will be a success, as he is always willing to put a maximum of effort into anything he attempts.

Che Static ERWIN LEE EISOLD Ludlow, Mass., December 27, 1907 “Tn limbs young, in wisdom old.” The outstanding scholar of our class and one of the most brilliant pupils Ludlow has ever produced is Bismark, who has his own ideas about most things. “From Missouri” fits him a good deal of the time. With his excellent athletic ability and superb concentrating power, it is no surprise that Bismark is a favorite. How any pupil can find time to play tennis, -box, skate, and take part in all school activities (including athletics and dramatics) is a puzzle not easy to solve! Bismark has a habit of excelling in all things in which he participates, so that if his plans of going to college and then to law school are carried out, we know Bismark will be a credit to Ludlow and the class of 26. First in work, first in play Will make Bismark renowned some day. Glass) President 25) Baseball 2 3° Soccer Football 4; Chorus 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Joke Editor of Parsot and Static 4; Class Play 4. ELIZABETH CAROLYN ELDRIDGE Ludlow, Mass., August 2, 1905 ““« uiet and shy this maid whom we call friend.” Lizzie tried all (?) of the schools in Western Massachusetts before she came to Ludlow. [Finally she settled down in the famous Jute town. We’re glad she did. Are you observing that rule ‘“‘Silence is golden?’ Teach us the meaning of it, for sad to relate, we, the class of 26, are not adepts in holding our tongues. We envy you for this and for your many accomplishments, which few of us possess. You have learned that happiness is to be found in patience and the simple things of life. Success to you always, Lizzie. Chorus 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Committee for Commencement 4. 12

Che Static ELEANOR MARION HOWE Ludlow, Mass., June 13, 1908 Eleanor’s slogan “Be ruled. You shall go at nine o'clock.” Who’s that girl? Why that’s Ellie who likes to read love stories and eat candy. What does she like to do the very best? Swim, regardless of any er-er “bugs” or ‘“‘sticks’ maybe! FE llie certainly is the business lady of our class, for she improves (?) her mind by working at the Ludlow Library. It is merely rumored that she is very strict in regard to the nine o’clock law. Woe unto him who comes one minute late! Oh, but Eleanor is very distinc- tive, for she has the honor of being the only red head who lights the Senior Class. Poor Ellie doesn’t think red hair is pretty, so she’s contem- plating dyeing it yellow. Good luck to you, Ellie. May all your dreams come true.

RICHARD MICHAEL KANE Ludlow, Mass., June 2, 1908 “Three-fifths of him genius and Two-fitths sheer stubborness.” Dick first saw the light of day in this good old town of Ludlow, and, deeming it his duty, has honored the town with his person for the eighteen long years of his present life. M. T. has attended the Ludlow Schools only, and by hard study, has managed to attain the title of Senior. Luckily for the class of ’26, this most illustrious member of our class received a double promotion in 721, making it possible for us to enjoy his most agreeable com- pany. Dick was a very bashful boy until his Junior year when he tried dancing. This proved his Waterloo, for now he is one of our most rabid ad- mirers of the fairer (?) sex. Among his other accomplishments, it may be stated that Dick was one of the mainstays in Ludlow’s ’25 football team. For three years the chorus derived considerable pleasure from his wonderful voice. Sad to relate, Dick has disappointed many by his reluctance to join the chorus again this year. Richard plans to tour the world after graduation. We all hope your ambitions (?) are realized, Dick.
