Stevens’ Candy Shop 208 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE At the Capitol Theatre Building Specializing in Home - Made Candies and Ice Cream We also carry a full line of Apollo Schrafft’s, Durand’s and Foss’ Chocolates in Fancy Boxes. Established for 10 years at Ball Square, West Somerville Ambrose Babbitt has stated that he will give his gold football to the girl who teaches him how to dance. Wake up, girls, here’s your chance! Miss B., to Latin Students: “All who failed in tests and those whose con- science pricks them are to return t his afternoon.” Student : “My conscience tell me not to.” Miss B. : “Well, then, it’s better for your health that you return.” Some crafty seniors have carefully inquired as to the possibilities of get- ting their class pins or rings on the installment plan. Oh ! Downey ! ! Al’s Letter Dear Bud : As one of the Alumni, you might be interested to know what is going on this year at A. H. S. First of all — Mr. Stickney has been made Assistant Principal, and takes care of the tardy pupils every morning; while Miss Syd- nor has charge of the spoons at re- cess. The senior boys unanimously elected Miss Bullock as class adviser — while the sophomore girls elected Ar- thur Lane for president. Arlington’s noble director of athlet- ics has had a very successful season — losing only one game. I went out for football myself this fall and all went well until the Watertown game, when Mr. Henricus said: “Alloysius, I want you to play left-out today.” Well, at that position I made such a hit that he had one play there — the whole of the Melrose game. Gee, but it is great to be a football hero ! The other day Miss Preston said that Latin wasn ' t as dead as it seemed. Well, anyhow, where there is life there ' s hope. Mr. Henricus is still predicting. Miss Pierce has finally found her best chorus, and Miss Sydnor fully agrees with the girls — in respect to short skirts. Well, old bean, my news items are completely exhausted. Yours till the kitchen sinks, Alloysius. (Wji. Davis)

Is it any different from any other bread?” Pad: Yes, it ' s a four-year loaf.” Teacher to pupil : “Are you chewing- gum ?” Pupil : “Yes.” Teacher: “Well, take it out of your mouth and put your feet in.” Captain Canniff has seen “The Freshman” and he would like the fel- lows to step right up and call him Speedy. New Year ' s Resolutions for the Juniors and Sophomores Resolved : 1. To try to attain the dignity and prestige of the seniors (Try and do it) ! 2. To treat the faculty and seniors with proper respect. 3. To arrive at school at 8 o’clock during the winter months in order to leave the corridors clear for the last sprint of the seniors. 4. To dispense with the pushing, shoving, and annoying prattle in the gym at lunch period. 5. To follow the example of the class of 1926 in producing champion- ship teams. 6. To take this advice and use it. Rachel Crosby, ’20. Wilma Corcoran, ’20. E. Piconi: “Say, Gaskill, you know those white knickers the fellows were wearing last summer?” Gaskill: “Yes, what about it?” Piconi: “Well, I saw a friend of yours the other day with red ones on.” Gaskill: “A friend of mine? Who was it? ' ’ Piconi: “Santa Claus.” — Miss M. : Rattle snakes are the only 1 dangerous ones.” Dot Blevins: “I don’t mind the rat- i tie; it ' s when they wiggle.” Mr. Coffey was bubbling over with . joy on Thanksgiving morning when .
