THE MAGNET 19 The cows are in the meadow. The sheep are in the grass But all the simple little geese Are inthe Freshmen Class. Xs Ww An Irishman got a job on one of the English railroads as a porter. Shortly after he began his duties, a woman stepped up to him and said: “T have just lost the train. How long shali I have to wait for another one?” “ Be Jabers, ye’d better go find the one you lost, or else the company will be after yez,” returned Pat.—Ax. w A fat lady boarded a car and, with more or less difficulty, edged a little, short Irishman out of his seat. He stood up in front of her, but could not reach the straps. Consequently, as the car rounded several sharp curves, he sat down rather violently on her lap. Finally, she could con- tain herself no longer, and wrath- fully exclaimed, with no small amount of sarcasm: “ Sir, I thought you were an Irishman.” He retorted: “Shure, and so did I, till now, but now I guess I’m a Laplander.” First Freshman (to teacher as the bell strikes )—What book shall I take with me now? Second Freshman—Please fix my schedule, Miss Jackson; I have two study periods right after each other. Third Freshman—I Is Mr. Clarke’s office in the basement? Fourth Freshman — What's —her- name never told us when to study Latin. Fifth Freshman— How much is lunch a day? We have acrowd of little ones, At the High School this year, Who gaze at upper-classmen, With mingled awe and fear. To see them during recess, A playing on the grass, It wouldn’t take a sage to guess That they’re the Freshman Class. THIS IS NO JOKE. When in your idle moments, You have naught to do, Write for the old MAGNET A good class note or two. Ex. e Teacher—W hat date did Columbus sail? Bright Fresh —1 don’t know. I didn’t go down-town that day.

18 THE MAGNET LHvSineo Pats 3.40 On Columbus Day, Fitchburg High’s football team journeyed to Leom- inster followed by a large crowd of enthusiastic adherents. The above score tells briefly the story which any believerin the a skill of Leominster would take great pleasure in relating. The game was strongly contested. Fitchburg made several good gains on foward passes and delayed passes, but were repeatedly held for downs when they attempted line bucking. The excitement was intense at all times. Some of the spectators were beginning to prophesy a tie game when, as Fitchburg attempted to duplicate another successful foward pass, Sweeney, Leominster’s half back, sprang into the air, caught the ball and went racing down the field side stepping and dodging with the help of good interference the wearers of the red and gray. With rapid strides that outdistanced all the others he covered the necessary seventy-five yards and fell exhausted behind the goal. Garland kicked the goal. During the rest of the game Fitchburg was continually on the defensive. Leominster succeeded in carrying the ball down to Fitchburg’s thirty yard line and attempted a field goal. Sweeney showed his accuracy by placing the ball between the up- right. Every menber on the team deserved credit for playing a good game.

Although the team played well, it lacked the vim and snap displayed in some of the previous games. The ball was carried up and down the field without either side gaining any decisive advantage. The over zealousness displayed by some of the officials helped to keep the crowd in good humor until the game ended without either side being able to score. teh.
