THE MAGNET 17 7 NG 2 The teacher asked her scholars for some very long sentences. One boy wrote, “Imprisonment for life.’’ w Customer: Is this doll?

He: Well, you never saw anybody sign a check with a sword. ww There was a your zg man of R. I., Who dearly loved “ None-such” mince pie; | In this he indulged, till his sides fairly bulged. No more is the young man of R, I. in | ' Three gentlemen, rather short of funds, wished to gain admittance to the track to see the horse-race. The first one went up to the gate- tender and said: “I’m Starlight’s owner,” then passed in. The second stepped up and said: “Starlight’s driver,” he also went in. The third one looked at the gate- tender, and in a low voice said: ‘ I’m Starlight,” and then joined his com- panions. w HEADS OF HOUSES. Germany—husband. France—wife. England—eldest son. America—daughter. w Scamp’ring through the halls you see them, Like untrained colts in the meadows green; | Never look where they are going, | Only of themselves they dream. | But every one must be a Freshman To reach that goal four years away; So don’t find fault with these beginners, Let them be happy in their play. w Miss Grant: What do we have in the mouth of the Kennebec River? Pupil: Bath.

If in any case the menagerie should es cape, we advise the lower classmen to follow the Seniors’ ex- ample. So don’t be frightened if you see atiny, fuzzy quadruped come down the ventilator, but let him play with your shoe-string and keep your — mind on your work. w We offer a cordial welcome to all the new pupils who have entered old L. H. S., and we hope they will come to love her as much as we do. w SENIOR GIRLS Chapter one On the campus Blazing sun Football ready Chapter two Munsey signals Kivlan’s cue Kivlan kicks Chapter three One of greatest Mystery Football falls.

[8 3 THE MAGNET HE first call for candidates for the football teams was issued on Sep- qb tember seventh by Coach Harry T. Watson. About twenty fellows, most of whom are veterans of one or more years, reported. Present indications are that we will have a very strong and successful team, as it has already won five victories and has not yet been defeated. The victory which was the the most gratifying to the school was the one over Fitchburg High, our old time rival. More boys should come out, so that we may have a strong second team to give the first team boys scrimmage practice. The first team boys have been handicapped in that they have not had a full team to play against them in practice so far this year. Louis Little, the star captain and fullback of last year’s eleven, was re-elected captain and in him the team has an efficient leader. William Brazil was elected manager and Judson Richardson was elected as his assistant. 8 The Athletic Association has adopted a new way to obtain money from the pupils of the school. Any pupil who pays five cents a week for the support of the association may become one of its members, and remains as such as long as he keeps his dues paid up to date. Any pupil who pays in advance to the end of the football season may receive a season ticket admitting him to all home games except the one on Thanksgiving Day. The same rule applies to the obtaining of season tickets for basket-ball and baseball game. The Athletic Association hopes that every pupil in the school will pay his dues and thereby become a member of the association and be entitled to the many privileges which belong to a member. ww There should be more of the student body at the football games and at practice. There is a woeful lack of school spirit in our school which
