i6 ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. EXCHANGES §€:€: I? ■§€:€:€: €i©C ; € : ©€:€€; €:€;€;€•■ €i€:€:€:€:€;® ' The editorials in the January number of the Latin School Register are extremely good. “ The Girl Who Stood,” wins our attention as being a well-written sketch and one which is truly original. But why not add an exchange column to your paper ? “The Gray Woolen Sock” in the Fram teaches a lesson that all girls might profit by. The Lowell High School Review could be improved by a few short stories. Doesn’t a continued love story seem a little too premature for a high school paper? We criticise the same, thing in you, Phillips High School Review. “ Oak Leaves ” from Oak Grove Semin- ary is among our new exchanges. Couldn’t you brighten the cover up a little bit ? The Dorchester Item is the best paper that we have received. The stories are interesting and the number of them makes one’s heart glad. The class notes are good. “ I cannot give,” he sadly said, “ Even a yacht to you.” “ Well,” she said, “ I’m sorry, but A little smack will do.” - — F . II. S. Record. Mistress- — Did the fisherman who stopped here this morning have frog’s legs ? Nora — Sure, I dinnaw, he wore trousers. — E. H. S. Record. Little drops of water, Frozen on the walk, Make the naughty adjectives Mix in peoples talk. — Racquet. Professor (dictating prose) — Slave, where is thy horse ? Startled Pupil — It’s in my desk, sir, but I wasn’t using it. — Racquet. “ Fifty miles an hour,” yelled the chauf- feur, “ are you brave ? ” “ Yes, I am full of grit,” said the pretty girl, as she swallowed another pint of dust. — Racquet. “ I think,” she said, “that kissing’s foolish, don’t you?” “Well,” he replied, “there certainly is a good deal of foolishness con- nected with it.” They looked earnestly at each other a little while. Then she wiggled around and said, “ Oh, dear ! I feel so foolish this evening ! I wonder what’s the matter with me.” — Packard Budget. Teacher — Why don’t you speak louder when you recite ? Pupil — A soft answer turneth away wrath. — Packard Budget. Silently one by one in the infinite note- books of the teachers Blossom the neat, little zeros, the forget- me-nots of the teachers. — Ball High School Review. “ Please hand me Review of Reviews,” he said, The landlady’s eyes did flash, For another young boarder looked absently up, And solemnly passed the hash.— Ex. 4 Little Elmer was playing out on the roof, when suddenly he lost his balance and began to slide. “ Oh God,” he prayed, “ please don’t let me — ” but his progress was suddenly stopped. “Never mind, God,” he continued, “ I’ve caught on a nail.” — Cambridge Review. For the German Students. Guest — What is that pretty little octavo volume ? German Linguist — That’s a new edition of my rules of German Grammar. Guest — And what are all those quarto volumes near it ? German Linguist — Those are the excep- tions to the rules. Freshman Year — “Comedy of Errors.” Sophomore Year — “ Much Ado About nothing.” Junior Year — “As You Like It.” Senior Year — “ All’s Well that Ends Well.” — Polaris.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. German teacher — “Give principal parts of the verb konnen.” Enterprising pupil — “ Konnen, kaunte, gekaunt.” Teacher “Well, I guess you can’t,” Ask the chemistry class about “bubbles.” ■ Teacher — “ It seems to me there is an unnecessary amount of baggage in this aisle. It doesn’t look very well.” Where- upon one boy picked up a small piece of paper, and the rest put their feet under their desks. “ Variety is the spice of life,” so one of the French pupils sprinkles her plurals and singulars where they look best, or as fancy dictates. Heard in the Latin Class — “ Cassius was his grandfather’s uncle-in-law.” “ These men abounded in kinds of bodies (copiarum).” Heard in the French Class — “Th ey saw a traveler pass several miles from their place.” Remarkable eyesight ! Pots-de-terre — “ Potatoes.” Jambes enflees — “swelled legs.” With- out doubt, these are near relatives of “ swelled heads.” “ The old man was occupied in visiting the chains of Kascambo.” One must remember that in foreign IS countries, people are often more courteous and polite than in America. This proba- bly accounts for such an unusual call. We are told that in Russia, the greater part of the natives live in crevices in the earth, which are three or four feet above the surface of the ground. This question is open for discussion. One of the English pupils says that Sir Roger de Covery went to the theatre with the “Spectator,” and saw Andrew Mack (Andromache.) ’07 Men through the summer (aetatem) were of no use. Caesar must have had good ocular powers, he saw the forces of the enemy twelve thousand miles off. They managed to elope the victor. The horses were smaller than Persians. Some of us in Physics would cut with the handlers of the scissors. The legions fought with their heads under water. Many English words come from the Latin — One of us translates “ incolumes,” in columns. 12 40 P. O. Building, Mass. Avenue, Arlington. Hours — Tuesdays and Thursdays 9 to 6 Other days 9 to 8.

Before long the Seniors will be packing their trunks and leaving us. This means that some one will have to till up the vacancies in the back of room A. In a way this can be done, but it will take some time for the new occupants to take the place fully of those who leave. It always seems lonesome at first to have the graduating class go away, but one soon grows accustomed to it as a new class takes the place of the old one. ! n looking through this edition one will that the contributions are entirely from Senior class. This is the first time u the experiment has been tried and the - It has been so satisfactory that it might tried again in some succeeding issue, seems especially appropriate that the Seniors should contribute to this issue, as it is their last chance as members of this school. Nevertheless, when they have left the school we hope that they will remember us with “ pen and pocket book.” The Friday evening before the Spring vacation will long be remembered by the Seniors, as well as by the friends of the class, who were their guests on that occ a- sion. Certainly this was one of the pleas- antest evenings of the year and the class may be proud of the pleasure it afforded to all present. The president, in her greeting, made all feel they were welcome and the rest of the evening seemed a proof that the welcome was sincere. Mr. Gordon’s select- ions were skillfuly rendered. The princi- pal feature of the evening was a three act play, entitled, “ The Shakespeare Water-
