Junior Notes We welcome Robert MacDowell and Clarence Fuller who have just entered our class. We wish success to Sam Friedman who is trying for the debating team. What if the B’s were superstitious? The Latin class of 13 students translated the 13th chapter on December 13 in room 13. Bertha Campbell, Mabel Chapin and Frary Blakeslee who have withdrawn from school are greatly missed. The Juniors are proud of the their football boys who are wearing the black and yellow sweaters, namely, Morris, McNutt and Barker. There once was a Senior called Rusty Who in Latin appears to be musty But he’s not so bad The dear little lad Though his thinking machinery’s dusty. A drama in three acts— I. Maid one. II. Maid won. III. Made one.—Ex. One of the latest ways of spelling Harry Kochenderfer’s name— Harry Cockenbucher. Bright Sayings of Seniors in English It was a white stone millionaire’s house. The house was made of bricks two and a half stories high. Miss Seeger says she is tired of being the pronouncing gazetteer for the Vergil class. Mr. Dieterich—“ Who owned the privateer ships ? ” Louise—“ Why, no one.” 18

Sophomore Notes The destinies of the class of 1912 are carefully guarded by a good corps of officers, who are as follows: President, Lyman Boynton; Vice- President, Kenneth Brown; Secretary, Ruth Swedenborg; Treasurer, Malcolm Prine. The Sophomores have social instincts and to gratify these, on October 31, joined the Freshmen at Collins’ Hall, where a Hollow’een party was held. The Hall was prettily decorated with corn-stalks and pumpkins. A jolly good time was enjoyed. The class of T2 took the lead this year in having a sleigh-ride, which was held on the evening of January 7. A crowd of about twenty-five made up the load. They met at the High School. From here they went to Plymouth Hall, where games were played and refreshments served. Owing to the good judgment (?) of the chaperon, Mr. Webb, they were obliged to return at a reasonable hour. Everybody certainly had a fine time. The Sophomores have had very interesting literary programs this semester. Altho our class does not have any great part in the publication of The Dart, it is greatly interested and eagerly awaits its appearance. We hope that the Sophomores will make more contributions hereafter to The Dart, which is open to all. “Ye Old The mill, Mill boss, Machinery, Raw material, Mill.” A. H. S. The Principal The Teachers Freshies Finished product. Seniors Waste product, Flunkers.—Ex. Junior in Modern History, stating cause of One Hundred Years’ War: —“ England was trying to suppress Scotland and Whales. THE GLOBE The Home of Hart, Schaffner Marx’s Good Clothes 17

Teachers Mr. Dieterich—“ The Senior girls are the worst hall-gossipers in the building.” Miss Seeger—“ I will not mention this again! ” Miss Cole—“ When there are forty pupils in the room, each one must observe the other’s right of study, etc, etc.” Mr. Ladd—“ Well, make a bluff at it anyway.” Miss Warmington—“Very well!” Mr. Graham—“ To a greater or less extent. Miss Case—“ I’ve told you forty-’leven times. Mrs. Morton—“ Girls, you’re not talking in the hall, are you ? ” Mr. Lowe—■“ Be sure to prepare your lesson.” A little tot had learned a certain poem by ear; then she was called upon to write it. Here is the result: “ Lettuce Denby up N. Dewing, Widow Hartford, N. E. Fate: Still H. E. Ving, still per Sue Wing, Learn to label Aunty Waite.”—Ex. There once was a Senior named Hawks And to school every morning she walks, But at evening does ride With a Senior beside Unless Toolie’s motor car balks. Junior—(asking for “The Tale of Two Cities)—“ Please give me the ' tail ’ of two kitties.” 19
