The School Fraternity, Lambda Sigma. D uring the past year there has been organized in the Fitchburg High School a chapter of the leading preparatory school fraternity in the country. At about the time of the mid-year vacation certain of our pop- ular young men were seen in embar- rassing positions, due to sudden and unexpected desires to examine the tops of lamp-posts, picket-fences and similar works of art. This series of exhibitions was in- tended for the benefit of the citizens in general, while an indoor enter- tainment of a varied character was given for the pleasure of a few girl friends, without any fear of the Shireffs ; and these young ladies, who are planning to form a Ladies’ Auxil- iary, will give you a full account any Day. All these things resulted from the working of fertile brains belonging to a few visiting gentlemen, whose object it was to form a chapter of Lambda Sigma, in connection with our school. From the first moment our success has been assured, and al- though more recently there have not been so many Cooks-on the commit- tee as at the first initiation, yet we have always been able to prepare a feast fit for the most exacting appe- tite, as many a noble 3 outh will agree. As a social success, nathing in the city ever made such an astonishing record. Before Zeta was many months old a dance was given in Wallace hall, such as caused univer- sal satisfaction and general admira- tion. The hall was beautifully decor- ated with laurel, palms and various potted plants. In the annex were furnishings for the comfort of the older (?) people, while music was fur- nished by the general favorite, Mr. Coleman. Since its foundation Zeta chapter of Lambda Sigma has been steadily advancing, until to-day it reposes as a standard of all that is noble, good and true. And although we are but one among many of the chapters under the auspices of the noble Lambda Sigma, yet we fear no com- petition and hope to remain forever not only an honor to the school, but also a mighty influence for good among the youth of our city. The following are the members of Zeta Chapter: 1900. — Roy W. Lord, Richard H. Miller. 1901. — Henry A. Frost, Lester A. Stone, Charles E. Pethybridge, John R. Ballou, A. B. Sherman. 1902. — Henry S. Hubbell, Guy R. Lowe, Harold B. Eaton. 1904. — Carl B. Joel.

Incidentals. They call me Banty at F. H. S., Because I’m so wondrous wise; Freshmen vote me at recess A prodigy for my size. Boor Willie, like the modern Briton. Doth on pins and needles sit; For a while both received the mitten. In capturing Lady Smith. We have a teacher from across the Atlantic Whose hair is getting thin ; His whiskers drive him nearly frantic, As they’re like stubble on his chin. — Mr. Briggs. Why don’t Cobb get trousers that fit him ? Why don’t Obear stuff his bike stoekings ? “Is the left hand the one for the engagement ring?’’ Why such a question, Miss Cogswell? When the class of 1901 gets Lowe in spirits they can retreat to their peaceful Bowers. How about Ethel? She’s all (W)right. Who is our heavy weight? Stone. What is G. P. H.’s favorite constel- lation ? Gemini. Why is it that one of our members does not fear the cold ? Because she is Hardy. Why did Obear get a new shirt like Miss Davis’s green shirt waist, likewise Fraser and Ella? Wanted: A small doll to keep Gor- man awake during English recita- tion. Whv does Mr. Cobb play baseball with Miss Wilson during geometry? Wanted : A good original joke from Lord. The reason Miss Colon is so slow : She is near a full stop. Clara Pauline Julia Caroline Roek- taschel : “A rose with another name would smell as sweet.’’ Miss Sargent gets excited as grad- uation approaches. Smiles forbidden ; funeral faces ordered by some. Anyone desiring to take part in decorating the soldier’s monument should join the college section im- mediately. “A hint is as good as a kick.” Latest Publications The late “ F. H. S.
