ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 1 2 f »-n? o-i : SCHOOL LOCALS =-i C€: €;€:€: - ' X C-CXX CO?- ’ 01 . With this issue the class of 1901 closes its connection with the Clarion. For four years we have followed the career of the pa- per and we hope we have aided it during those years. If subscriptions are counted as any support the class is certainly doing its best for the name of every member is to be found on the subscription list. of witnessing the production of “Dido” as given by members of the Roxbury High School. It was elaborately staged and per- formed with remarkable excellence. It is hardly necessary to say that we were pro- foundly interested in every word and action, which we had so recently been over our- selves in the class room. 02 At a recent meeting the class had its at- tention drawn to the question of graduation and whether a speaker should be secured for the evening or if we should display a few of the talents we have acquired m this in- stitution of learning. We decided on the the latter plan. One of the pleasantest memories of school days will be that of the visit which the Jun- ior Greek History class made a few weeks ago, to the Boston Art Museum. The class is greatly indebted to Miss Cutler, who made the afternoon particularly profitable and en- joyable to all. Our class social was held on Friday eve- ning April 26 in Cotting Hall. An account of it will be found in another column. We would like to know however who it was that ran off with the rouge and what became of those red stockings after the play. The class has decided to patronize the Litchfield studio for its class pictures. Al- though we had most tempting offers from other photographers, Mr. Marshall’s reputa- tion is too well known for us to try any one else. Have you seen the new style shirt waist manufactured by M. M. O. G. the senior haberdashers? They are getting out a line of extra quality pique shirt waists with large button and patient attachments. Through the kindness of Mr. Holt the senior Latin class enjoyed the opportunity M ' ere the young gentlemen of the Sopho- more class, attempting to change the style in neck-ties, or were they merely recalling child-hood days? Latin translation, “And two kings hung over all Asia.” A member of the Greek class informs us that Greeks found much food in the vil- lages, which they used for missiles. Was it the “biscuit gele,” which was recently translated “ frozen hardtack ? ” M ' e are told that “ the noun ‘ juventus,’ means ‘ any young man,’ so that it must be an abstract noun.” (Juite true. What does the Senior Latin class think of this ? An evil mind cm be quieted neith er by Virgil (vigil) nor by .slumber.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 1 1 small and the boat goes through the water at a good six knots. Sometimes the fish breaks through the water and shakes his jaws fiercely, en- deavoring to get unhooked. Then he will (live down, the time when one must be careful and not let the line slip. iVt last I got him up to the cjuarter and then I had to do the hardest thing of all — land my fish. I had to be careful in doing this, not to let him strike the boat and flap off, or bite line or my fingers in unhooking, many fishermen having lost their fingers in this way. During the day I caught many others. Although one might think that after the first fish it is less sport with the others, nevertheless as their tactics are different there is the same thrill and the same tug- of-war. I remember especially one time while hauling in a fish that a big wave came and struck the boat on the quarter, and ne.xt I found myself sprawled against the lee- ward side of the cogpit. We stayed upon the fishing-grounds until the tide changed and then headed in toward the Opening. Just as we were going through the breakers on the cut- side we caught our last fish, as we to.k in our lines a minute later. As soon as we got inside I counted the fish and found we had forty-one, ranging from six to seven pounds apiece. While on the way home the fishermen got things more ship-shape, so that when we reached our mooring the fish themselves were the only traces of the day’s work. Picking up our moooring we made fast, furled the sail, and putting the fish in the dory, then rowed ashore to the fishermen’s boat-house. Here I left them cleaning and packing their fish before shipping them to Bos- ton and went home to try and get some of the salt out of my hair and to eat a good dinner, which never tasted better. H.

Perhaps you did not know that they have steam-ships in Congress, but it must be a fact, for we have the statement on good au- thority. ()uery — What do tlrey use them for ? An endowment for a hospital for de mal- ade papier et de malades plumes would be very acceptable to certain members of the class. If the noises which issue from Room A the last period may be taken as a fair sam- ple, it is no wonder that German is called a gutteral language.

Arlington seems to be becoming quite citified, judging from the answer of a pupil when asked what swine were. He replied, rather doubtfully, “sheep.” PORTRAITS EXECUTED IN F latinum, FROM $3.00 PER Doz. . . TO . . $50.00 FOR One. Carbon, Platino, India Ink, Crayon, Sepia, Water Colors.
