20 THE GOLDEN-ROD II. II. 'II has got the rage and has got it as bad as any of them now. Mr. Roache—“What class are you in?” 1914—“Why I’ve been here four days.” Teacher after being hit by a spit ball—“I’m not going to punish you, for I know that if you had been aiming at me I wouldn’t have been hit.” Mr. Ro-che—‘ ‘ Who succeeded James II?” 1911—“James I.” William Manning is always in Wollaston. I wonder why ? History Teacher—“Who was Prince Arthur?” M iss S-b-g—‘ Er-r-r—somebody’s son. ’ ’ The weather has not been at all cold but S. W-i-te has had his storm windows on for some- time. Everybody enjoys certain writers and E. Rh-des Ihinks that Churchill is just about right. Heard in gym. before the Holbrook game— “Well I suppose they got this game because the kids could come for half-fare.” M. Chap-n is seriously considering a course at Woodward. Three cheers for II. Sut-m-ster the gallant and brave boy scout. It would have been very acceptable to P-r-k-s Tl. if a special deliberative hour had been fixed in the program, so that he might think over his math. It would put anyone to sleep to hear Wh-te sing after the Dorchester game. Fraser struck something hard when he struck Herb’s back. Murphy Tl discovered a new fuming com- pound the other day. It fumed all over his desk. A coming scientist, this Murphy. The Senior Dramatics will be helped very much this year, we hope, by such experienced actors as Manning and the Chapmans. c(?iUT tr rto ifje.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 19 The Fresh and The Soph A Preshy, as green As ever was seen. Approached the High School door, And into his eyes. Came a glad surprise At the sight of a Sophomore. “Good luck,” quoth he, “Most surely to me The fates send faster and faster For who can doubt That I am about To meet the great Head Master?” With heart all abeat, Yet scorning retreat, lie passed through the sacred door, And even tho’ death Seemed stealing his breath, Addressed he the Sophomore. “The Head Master, sir. You are, I infer, Of this dispenser of lore I’m here, as you see, To get a high E.” Said the Fresh to the Sophomore. With rage quite insane The Soph shook a cane And thumped it half through the floor “The Head Master, sir? You impudent cur! Why, I am a Sophomore!” (Adapted.) We hope to have a free lunch soon. Many pupils took quite a fancy to Mr. Robin- son’s visitors at recess recently. We expect a close match in bad odors between the cooking and chemical departments soon. History Teacher—“How did William I die?” 1914—“His heart stopped beating.” F. Harmon seems to be very efficient in the declension of I-go. Geography Teacher “(Jive me an example of raw material.” S. Cl-fl-n—‘ ‘ Why-er-er-poultry. ’ ’ Mr. II-br-k—“Give me a example of mytholo- gy.” 1914—“George Washington never told a lie.” II. Ch-p-n enjoys having his favorite flower, the lily, around when he is playing football. Miss Birge—“ What is the German cognate for apple-wine.” 1914—“Cider.” Worcester has given the Sophomore class a re- markable boost in the weight line by the addition of C. Sm-th. Mr. II-lbr-k—“ Well, why don’t you go on and translate.” 1914—“I don’t know what love means.” (Ask E. Rhodes, M. S-b-n, H. H-ll, C. Sm-th.)

THE GOLDEN-ROD 21 This year we are ambitious to extend our ex- changes to more distant states as well as to our near neighbors and already we have received The Aurora, Nome, Alaska, and The Smith Academy Record. All exchanges may be seen in Room 25 by the pupils from the editor. “The Breeze,” Cushing. An altogether good paper but why do you devote all the paper to graduates? How about the present students? “Distaff,” Girl’s High School, Boston. Your exchange heading might be improved. The Alumni column is excellent. “Enterprise,” we think the color of your cover is rather characterless. The article on Education in Mexico is interesting. “Gazette,” Lynn Classical High School. It seems to be a fast spreading desire,—this chang- ing of cover designs and colors but not many of you are bettering the covers. We say the same to the “Volunteer,” Concord, Mass. “High School Beacon,” Chelsea. Your ath- letics and exchange headings are all right. Why do you put an advertisement on the second page, next to the stories. One looks at the advertise- ment first. “The Imp,” Brighton. Try to fill up your ad- vertising pages—it pays well. After looking over some of our brilliantly colored exchanges,—the black and white designs of the “Oracle,” Manchester and “The Jabber- wack,” Boston are a great relief. “Premier,” Fall River, you have a good col- lection of school yells. “The Students’ Review,” Northampton. Where are your stories in the October issue? We were glad to receive “School Life” from Melrose. Miss Chadbourne is advisory editor of the paper. Besides the exchanges mentioned we acknowl- edge also: “The Review,” Lowell High School; “The Clarion”: ' The Gleaner,” Pawtucket High School; “The Blue Owl”; “The Alpha,” New Bedford; “The Aegis,” Beverly; “The Register,” Boston Latin; “Recorder,” Spring- field. Mass.; “Radiator”; “The Oracle,” Mal- den; “The Mirror”; “The Powder Horn.” Professor—“What are the children of the Czar called?” Pupil—‘ ‘ Czardines. ” Mammy—“Dai, you good-for-nothing niggar, you’ve went and forgetted dat lard.” Rastus—“Lor’ a massy, dat lard was just so greasy, it done slipped ma mind.” Teacher—“What was the first talking machine made from?” Bright Boy—“From a rib.”
