Fulton spoke feelingly of her sweet life, which was as pure and beautiful as the profusion of flowers which surrounded her.

Kllis took a great interest in athletics, playing on his class football and base- ball teams. His teachers, class master and friends take this opportunity to ex- tend to his bereaved mother their sym- pathy in her great sorrow. Whereas, In view of the great loss we, the members of the staff of the High School Radiator for 1896-7, have sus- tained by the decease of our friend and co-worker, William Chester Armstrong, and of the still greater loss sustained by those nearer and dearer to him. Re it Resolved, That it is but a just tribute to the memory of the departed that in his removal from our midst, we mourn the loss of one who was in every way and at all times worthy of our respect and regard. Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them and to commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best and whose chastisements are meant in mercy. Resolved, That this testimonial of our heartfelt sympathy and sorrow be pub- lished in the next issue of the Somerville High School Radiator. Wesley A. Maynard William II. Burgess. Henry N. Sanborn.

The expectations of a certain member of the Senior Class concerning Tioga and the Tiger were rudely dispelled when to his dismay he read “Tammany wins by 85,000,” and next moment was in- vited to call at Room 11 after school. Despite the regular attendance of visi- tors at the English High lecture hall during the fourth period on Wednesday, the school has learned several new pieces of music notably, “The Primrose,” by Mendelssohn, and “On the Wings of Morning,” from Weber’s “Preciosa.” Brave indeed were the trio of young ladies who, facing the unknown dangers of the wilderness, visited N. A. A. grounds and saw the “boys of red and blue” defeat Newton High to the tune of 58 to o. This game, by the way, brings to our mind the startling fact that a mileage book on all the railroads is an absolute necessity to be able to see our team play real football.
