THE MAGNET 13 On October 11th, the day before the football game with Fitchburg High School, Mr. Clarke very kindly gave the pupils part of the fifth period to practice the school cheers and songs. Remarks were made by Coach Lane, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Rob- erts and Mr. Thompson. eS Miss Cross has organized girls’ hockey teams for the different classes, and games are to be played for the championship. ¥ Jenna, ’12, (translating) ‘ Largo- que umectat flumine voltum.” “ And he bathed his face in a large river.” w JUNIOR FRENCH Mr. M.,’13 (translating) “Il parait quelle a des cheveux rouges.”’ “It appears that she has two red horses.” So We wish to extend a most hearty greeting to the teachers who are with us for their first year, and also to the teachers who have been here in previous years. SENIOR FRENCH Mr. S., (translating) Le paque bot €tait la fumant. “The steamer was there smoking. ye Miss C.,12,(translating) C’était de demander au purser quelle cabine occupait Monsieur F. “This was to ask the pursuer which cabin Mr. F. occupied.” Ww Mr. L.,’12, (translating) Avec un- etou pie tournante sur la plante du pied gauche.

ie THE MAGNET Chauffeur HE enemy and friend combined of a chauffeur is the weather. Rain means trouble, and sun means pleasure. In short, rain brings mud which becomes plastered all over the machine, and the sun does not. It had rained all day, and near evening the chauffeur was called out to take a party to ride. Mr. Chauffeur has nothing to say as to the advisability of such a ride, or as to a safe rate of speed to maintain. He must drive and speed as told, without a word, and take all blame for accidents. The chauffeur came in later with the car all mud, and retired. The next morning he arose early, and finding it was a pleasant day washed the machine and shined the brass, a process which required three or four hours steady work. Now he was all ready to go out with a clean machine when he was summoned for the regular Sunday afternoon ride, Sunday being no excuse for a chauffeur to bring around a dirty car. His work done, and the weather pleasant, he thought he could enjoy himself for a week or more without going through the painful washing operation. The afternoon was very pleasant, and riding was certainly delightful. In fact, they went so far they were fifty miles from home before they real- ized it. Then the sky clouded over and it began to pour. Mr. Chauffeur had to put up the top, and fasten the sides on. Then having the occupants of the car protected, it became his pleasant duty to get out in the pelting rain and put the chains on to prevent skidding. He was thoroughly soaked by that time, and had the prospects of a fifty mile ride over slippery roads, in wet clothes, with the ever present thought of scrubbing the machine when he did get home so that it would be all ready for “ Madame” to go shopping in the morning. Weather versus HERMON SAFFORD, ’I2. 1912 In L. H.S. there is a class Which we all love full well; As up and down the hall you pass, You can each Senior tell. There's Hermon, he who rules us all, And his small sister Mildred; How oft they linger in the hall, As out by Esther they are led. There’s Ruth, who does the MAGNET run; Our artist Peter Knapp; The chiefest of the class in fun Is Jobes, a funny chap. Though not Darius, we have a Green, And also Edmund Potter; Both always look calm and serene, And act quite good and proper. Two are always Causing worry, By coming in so late, Clara and Catherine in a hurry, Are casting dice with Fate. Corkum the business manager is, And he works hard and long. By Suhlke ours the victory is So we cheer him with a song. Nineteen twelve can boast full well Of others as good as these; Although their wonders we won’t tell, We might praise them with ease. HELEN C. RICHARDSON, ’I2
