The Arlington High School Clarion 15 the ball on downs, being tillable to gain. Again they worked the ball to the ten- yard line and lost it on downs. 1 he third time they brought it up the held Arlington was not equal to the occasion and D. Wheatley took it over tor a touchdown by a matter ot inches. Tuck missed the goal. Winchester kicked to Arlington and they were apparently about to get a touchdown when something happened. Standing on his 15-yard line Peirce made a forward pass to Buckley on his 30- yard line. Buckley had an apparently clear held. He received the pass and started to run, but |ust as he did he tumbled the ball. Before he could tall on it Hanson of Winchester picked the ball up and ran the rest of the distance for a touchdown. Tuck again failed to kick the goal. The half was over shortly. Winchester was greatly taken back to think that they could not run up a larger score as they were certain ot a score ot gigantic proportions. Arlington came back strong in the sec- ond half and rushed the ball almost the whole length of the field for a touch- down to the surprise of the Winchester crowd. Forward passes and outside kicks were greatly in evidence. Arling- ton did not once lose the ball. Hut- chinson scored the touchdown running from his position in the line. Captain Peirce kicked the goal. Arlington then worked the ball to Winchester’s two- yard line to lose it on downs. Later we were able to score a safety, making 8 points in all. Thus the final score was 0-8. 1910 In History: “ Why might the freeman have scruples against becoming knights ? ” Bright pupil, sotto voce: “ Because there is no (K)night in heaven.” Heard in German: “ Pastorgarten ” translated “ pasturage garden.” Sentence by H — : “ Das Haar ist WILLIAM GRATTO A.

H The Arlington High School Clarion and we lost by a score of 12-2. We were still without the aid of some of our best players The stars in this game were Captain Peirce, Hutchinson, Cam- eron and Plaistead. The next game was with Dedham Our team was entirely the second team at the start, owing to the poor condition of our first string men The Dedham team did not arrive until after four o’clock, so that it was necessary to play short halves They won by a score of 12-6 There is no doubt but what Arlington would have won if the halves were not so short as they were coming ( ( 5 strong I he next game was at Wayland on October 30. We played a tie game there of 5—5. The best plays for Arling- ton were contributed by Hutchinson and Peirce, whose flying tackles were rarely duplicated on school teams. The next game was played with Mil- ton at our grounds. Two weeks before we lost to this team by a score of 12-2, so there was some doubt as to our ability to win. The team had now passed through the experimental state and a definite team had been decided upon to face Winchester. The team was greatly strengthened by the acquisition of Hig- gins and the return of Captain Peirce and Buckley. The team showed new life and ran Milton completely off their feet. Up to this time Milton had lost only one game and had never had more than six points cored against it in any game. Arlington defeated them rather easily by a score of 34—0, giving Compliments of GAMESTER Carpenter and Builder the spectators an idea to see what was coming when we faced Winchester. The whole team played as a unit and it would be unfair to say anyone played a better game than anyone else Cap- tain Peirce made three touchdowns; Buckley, two; Chick, one; and Captain Peirce kicked tour goals. 1 he big game of our season and the one which we desired to win above all was the Winchester game on Friday, November 19th at Arlington. 1 here was a great deal of doubt expressed concerning the ability of our “ green team to make even a creditable showing against this veteran Winchester team. This was the best team that Winchester has had in her history, and they had come through their preliminary season with a most brilliant record. However, upon the day of the game a tremendous crowd turned out to show the confidence that they had in the boys I he follow- ing was the team that was selected to start. It was practically the same team as faced Milton two weeks before. They, therefore, did not have much of a chance to study each other’s methods. Line up: Reycroft, r. e. Hutchinson (Cousens), 1 . t. Plaistead, r. t. Chick, 1 . e. Higgins, r. g. Munch, q. b. Butbrick, c. McWeeney, r. h. b. Cameron (Mauger) 1 . g. Buckley, I h. b. Peirce, Capt , f. b. Winchester secured the ball early in the game and succeeded in pushing Arlington back to her five-yard line. Here Winchester had first down, but lost ARLINGTON HARNESS CO.

i6 The Arlington High School Clarion im Winter am langsten.” (Hair is longest in winter). Do tell us what kind of hair restorer you use, H — ! Teacher: “ Miss M — , are you cold ?” Miss M — : “ Only my hands.” A general scuffle is heard from the boys’ side of the room. Frequent occurrence. Teacher: “ You must speak louder, Miss , I can’t understand you.” Pupil: “ What? I don’t know what you say.” Teacher: “ Beg pardon ? Pupil, despairingly: “ Well, I can’t hear you ! ” Sits. We learned in English that among the ancients the liver, not the heart, was considered the seat of affections; in this connection Miss R — quoted a college professor as saying that if such were now the case, the familiar lines: “ Maid of Athens, ere we part, Give, oh give me back my heart ” would have to be rendered: “ Maid of Athens, ere we sever, Give, oh give me back my liver.” Miss R — : “ That is called an ana- pestic line.” Pupil, in amazement: “ Antiseptic?” Milton applied: Hence, loathed Melancholy,” sentiments of 1910. “ Then to the well-trod stage anon,” - Town Hall stage, November fifth. Come and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe.” The dance following the play. 19 11 Once more we, as a class, have come together. Now let’s work together to make it what it can be — the best class in the School. 1911 greets the new members of the faculty. The class was very sorry to lose Miss Ames. She was a good friend and teacher to all, and we shall greatly miss her and her pleasantries. Miss B — , translating Greek: “ One man was wounded in the left wing.” Angelic creature! Heard in English: “Why, it must have been pleasant if the moon was shining.” Please explain. There may be a “ Senior Quartet,” but, “ Oh! You Junior Trio! ” They say the Juniors are setting a good example to the Freshmen — Yes, to act foolish! But at that they haven’t got anything on the Seniors. Miss H — , translating French: “He decided for the first time in his life to take a bath ” — after a pause, — - “ oh, in the Nile.” Class Editor’s Eament - Some people can be very funny We never could be so, So rally to our assistance; Tell us anything you know. 1911 always thought the “Sophs” were original, but say! those pins! Miss R -: “ I’ll have to change some seats that are not studying.”
