12 ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. V hen we graduate we shall feel the same sentiment as the man of small means when parting with his last dollar. “ ’hen we asunder part It gives us inward pain, But we shall still be joined in heart And hope to meet again.” Miss Xancy Lammeter ' s attributes (according to the editor of the Clarion): “She was a very simple, true-hearted girl, brought up according to strict moral principles, and wore a coral neck- lace.” QUOTATIONS. “I count ed two and seventy stenches, all well defined.”— Chemical Labora- tory. Defoe ' s History of the Plague in Lon- don. “ If there should be another flood. For refuge here I’d fl} ' . For though the world be all submerged. This book would still be dry.” FAMILIAR PHRASES OFTEN HEARD. “Das ist genug.” “Cela suffit.” “The following scholars will hand in their corrected exercises before they go home.” It has becen suggested that “chaplet de saucisses” would be well translated “necklace of sausages.” If so, why not take the teacher ' s suggestion of using the jambon” for a breast pin. We are lately informed that the “Ro- setta Stone” was found in the Mediter- ranean Sea. thought to be near the Pyra- mids. (Floating around?) The appellations given to Pompey ' s first name a few weeks ago were won- derfully ingenious in variety. The Juniors feel an interest in the comparison of “magis.” (On test paper) — What are the char- acteristics of the moon? Answer — It is a boundless waist. Scholar (stumbling in translating) “testudinibus constitutis” — Does that mean a tortoise having been con- structed?” ’99- Pupil (reading from “The Courtship of Miles Standish ) — “And he threw himself down on his pallet.” Teacher — What is a pallet?” Pupil — “Oh, it’s something in your throat to taste with.” One young gentleman in the Sopho- more class prefers to form his imperfect tenses in a strictly regular manner. To illustrate his peculiar views on this sub- ject, he remarks in class that “Men have digged into the ruins of Pompeii.” J. Ilenrx llart7vell cO So7i, UNDER TA KERS.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 1 1 battlements built as a means of defence by the early French settlers, and the king’s bastion, whence, every morning and evening, a signal gun is fired, are all noteworthy objects, which may be easi- ly discerned from the steamer’s deck. Our hotel, during our sojourn at Que- bec, was the elegantly-appointed Cha- teau Frontenac, occupying a command- ing situation on Dufferin Terrace, perched high above the St. Lawrence. The prospect from the terrace, both up and down the river, is magnificent. In- deed, there are few water-views in the world which surpass it. Our stay at Quebec was rather a quiet one. After our long round of sightsee- ing, a day of rest was very acceptable. The majority of the places of interest, as I have already remarked, are close at hand, and can be seen with very little effort. The governor’s garden, wherein is located the joint monument to Mont- calm and Wolfe, is only a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, and we could easily appr opriate the settees in the garden to our use, and gaze, rapt in historical retrospect, upon the massive shaft reared in honor of the two heroes of the French and Indian War. The remainder of our time in the old French city we spent quietly at the hotel, or promenading on Dufferin Terrace, and gazing in admiration at the mag- nificent landscape spread out before us, a scene which I shall not soon forget. Leaving Quebec the evening follow- ing our arrival, we took the night steam- er to Montreal, whence, the next morn ing, we started for home, bidding fare- well to the lordly St. Lawrence, one of the grandest and most interesting of all American rivers. John G. Brackett, ’97. SCHOOL LOCALS. “ A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men.” “Blooming” is sometimes a synonym for “vigorous,” b ut isn’t it a little like slang to talk about “blooming dogs.” Pupil (confounding victum “con- quered” with victum “sustenance”) — “L’nhappy conquered one, namely, ber- ries and cornel cherries.” They used to do queer things about 1,000 years before Christ.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 13 We think the Sophomore Greek class, with its four invincible (?) members, de- serves commendation for its valiant at- tack on the “mi” verb. ’00. We should like to apprise our friends of the fact that Martin Luther graduated from Harvard University. Teacher in geometry — “What will tell me where to place a point?” Enthusiastic pupil — “Your eye.” I ' eacher — “The statue of Ericsson overlooks the Back Bay Fens.” Mystified pupil — “What fence?” Teacher — “Where do we get eye- stones?” Pupil — “In the drug-store.” ATHLETICS. c A ’e are glad to see that so many mem- bers of the school show their interest in the baseball team, by attending the games, and generously applauding each good play. But there is a great lack of spirit and enthusiasm among the boys in cheering the players. The baseball season is already half over; let us there- fore do all in our power to make the rest of the games as lively as possible. Thus far the team has made an excel- lent record, and if the boys do not get over confident, there is no reason why they should not keep up their good work. The following is a list of the games played: April 3 — M. I. T., igoo. 6; Arlington, 7. April 8 — Waltham H. S., o; Arlington, 19. April 10 — C. H. and L., 2; Arlington. 8. April 13 — Newton H.
