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.

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.

The team, as a whole, has improved wonderfully under i Ir. Holt’s excellent coaching. The fielding is all that could be expected, and the batting shows es- pecial improvement. A pure case of rattle was witnessed during the ninth inning of the first game against Somerville High, when our worthy captain misjudged a pop fly which would have won the game for Arlington. Our “crack” pitcher was a little off, when he made one of his accurate shots This space reservcrt lor E. C. MTCIIFIEED, I iioTOGK.u iu;i; of Class of ’1)7, .A. II. S. for second to catch an opponent nap- ping, with the second baseman twenty fee: from the brise. The Interpreparatory League polo cup has been received in the school. The principal complimented the boys on their manly, upright playing, and stated that in his opinion it was only a matter of time when the cup would be owned by the school. If the future polo teams keep up the standard set for them by their ’97 team, this will certainly be true. The outlook for next year’s football team does not, at present, seem very bright, as seven of the eleven of last year graduate, leaving only four experienced players. The second eleven played some very creditable games last fall, and showed some very promising material, and as the old men are all line men, backs must be worked up from this ma- terial. Although the backs are con- sidered the most responsible positions, with a strong line a very good team may be e. ' cpected. CHARLES GOTT, Carriage |ianiifacturer, Wagons of all kinds made to order.
