THE SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 9 gaunt, white-clad figure stalked quickly and silently out, waving a ghostly hand for me to follow. I obeyed with a guilty thrill of pleas- ure. Before we had reached the foot of the stairs leading to the second floor, we were joined by five others, and noise- lessly this select band crept along, finally pausing before the door of 47, whose card was out reading : WELCOME TO THE “GRAB BAG. In less time than it takes to relate, seven convulsive, giggling girls were huddled together on the bed, and seven pairs of inquisitive eyes were turned toward the trunk by the window, where towered a pyramid of crackers, a box of sardines and a row of empty, though imposing tumblers, cups, etc. On a pile of books, hovering over the gas jet, stood Trix, stirring something which emitted a faint and delicious odor. “ Chocolate! ” came in a whis- pered chorus, after a few emphatic sniffs. “Oh ! Trix, you’re a dove ! ” Sophy Moore bobbed up to kiss the tip of the “dove’s nose, when- horror upon horrors—over went the sauce pan upon the hostess’ head. I have read of martyrs, but until then I had never been fortunate enough to meet one, for not a sound escaped Trixey’s lips. There was a few moments hush, then as no dreaded teacher appeared, some one offered to rub the offended member. “Pshaw! Jessie Parkhurst, I guess I’m out of my swaddling clothes. If you want to make yourself useful in- stead of ornamental, just bring out the chocolate can and condensed milk, they're on the closet floor under my best jacket. But—if I should stop to relate all the thrilling incidents connected with that midnight feast, they would fill a book. Enough—that the second attempt at chocolate proved quite satisfactory. The girls vowed they had never tasted anything so exquisitely rich, the sar- dines abounded in oil, and as for the crackers—I dare not confess how many I ate. By my dreams—which alack ! came later—I should fancy the number to have been sufficient ! The words quoted by Trix at her chamber door, as she bade us good- night, still ring in my memory; and I can see that rumpled frowsled head peeping from the door of 47, as she glanced significantly at a certain door down the corridor: “ ’Oft when the cat’s asleep the mice do play !.’ At 1 o’clock seven sleepy, chocolate- besmeared mortals stumbled back to their rooms and resigned themselves to the tender care of Morpheus, who, I daresay, presented each with another cup of chocolate, for the sake of “Auld lang syne.

The resolutions adopted by the class of 97, E. H. S. Whereas, it has pleased our heavenly Father to remove from our midst our beloved classmate, William Chester Armstrong: and Whereas, we, the members of the class of ’97, English High School, are deeply afflicted by the sudden loss of our highly esteemed and beloved friend; therefore be it Resolved’, that the class of ’97 hereby express to his bereaved family its great sorrow and assure them of their most heartfelt sympathy. Beit further Resolved, that a copy of these resolu- tions be sent to his bereaved family, and also a copy be spread upon the records of the class of '97. Per committee, Harry Elwin Rich, ’97.

S., death has entered the ranks of its pupils. Miss Lillian C. Harding of the 1st year class died Oct. 28, from heart disease, after an ill- ness of only a few hours. The funeral took place from the Emmanuel Episco- pal church, which was completely filled with the friends and relatives of the lamented young lady. 11 Resolutions adopted by the Class of 1901, E. H. S. Whereas, In the providence of God, our beloved classmate, Lillian C. Hard- ing, has been suddenly taken from us by death, we, therefore, as an expression of our appreciation of her character and of our sincere affection, present the fol- lowing resolutions : Resolved, That in the death of Lillian C. Harding, we, the Class of 1901, of the Somerville English High School, have sustained an irreparable loss. Though associated with us for so short a time, yet her thoughtfulness, kindli- ness, beauty of character and loyalty to her class will remain as a loving memory throughout our High School course and through life. Resolved, That we send to the parents of our classmate an expression of our deepest sympathy in their bereavement and sorrow. Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon our class records, and also be printed in the High School Radi- ator. Signed, Persis K. White, Ruby R. Higgins, Mary Keefe, Edward J. Bell, Harry E. White, Herbert J. Ham, Class Committee. Somerville, Mass., Oct. 28, 1897. MISS LILLIAN F. DICKINSON. It was with deep regret that the senior class learned of the death of a former classmate, Miss Lillian F. Dickinson. The funeral took place at the First Bap- tist church. Rev. J. I). Fulton spoke feelingly of her sweet life, which was as pure and beautiful as the profusion of flowers which surrounded her. The family have our sincere sym- pathy, especially the sister and brother, who are now with us. GEORGE ELLIS. While the members of the Latin School Junior Class were resting and recuperating from their studies, there came the sad news of the death of George Ellis by drowning. He was a
