Football, etc. Re sure to put your umbrella in the rack, and be sure to slide it into the next one and tear it. The new Radiator year has begun, and in order to make the paper a suc- cess the support of every student is needed. The stenography class was greatly eutertained by some singing down stairs not long ago It is hoped they will con- tinue to entertain us. Girls, don’t lean against the w ill be- tween the biological and chemical lab- oratories. There is one place that will suddenly give away with you. English 15 seems to have enjoyed “A Mid-summer Night’s Dream” to the ut- most. Their ending of the play cannot be surpassed. The boys especially are born actors. oo There must be yeast in the desk covers. Now that we have a class organization we must be thinking about a class pin and motto. Makechnie’s definition for the re- duplicated form in Latin : “That dou- bled up thing.” We wonder if Smith is a good con- versationist. He certainly has jjractice enough talking to himself. The Class of ’oo has been organized with the following officers : l’res., Geo. Rurgess ; Vice-Pres, Miss Helen Wal- dron ; Sec., Harry Stone; Treas., Her- bert Hale. A Wide Awake Club was organized less than a year ago, the greater part of whose members belong to the great and glorious Century Class. They have vis- ited so many of the surrounding places of historical interest that any sugges- tions for other pilgrimages will be gladly received by the vice-president of the Class of i960. ’01. Russel is a coming orator. Did you ever hear a mountain’s peak. Everyone’s question—“Did you get a note?” The school bored (board)—a lazy scholar. You ought to read one of Hovey’s “true” themes. After the class organization a class- pin should be selected. How patiently Rcethoven waits for the fifth period Wednesdays. Re sure and attend the games. Your presence will help the team along. Noble is candidate for class debater. Subject of first debate, “Mrs. Caudle.” The bass solos rendered by a member of Division A breaks the monotony of recitations.

THE SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 15 ’98 Seniors at last ! What is home and vinegar without a “mother ?” How is the orchestra progressing, “Miss Colburn?’' Scott adapted: What is a glover but a tailor working in a kid skin? Cate is very fond of turtles. He even carries them around in his pocket. A smile went around the class when Mr. P. asked us what we ate for break- fast. Quo ion from Woodstock: “He started ip and felt for his arms, which he found close beside him.” No wonder the football team is doing remarkable work when it has such an able manager as A. G. Crowley. Teacher: “Why is it that you can’t blow soap bubbles unless there is soap in the water?” Miss W.: “They wouldn’t be soap bubbles.” Teacher: “How do you know that the specimen which you saw really was a piece of a meteor which fell to the earth?” Miss B.: “It was labelled.” It is hoped that before the year is over, the Seniors at least will not say, “Two right triangles are equal, having a leg and hypothesis of one equal ‘re- spectfully’ to a leg and hypothesis of the other. At a class meeting the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Pres., Herbert E. Stone; Vice- pres., Miss Gertrude C. L. Yasque; Sec., Miss Gertrude M. Currier; Treas., Dun can Wemyss. We have all probably regarded Lieut. Peary as a very great and brave man, but to regard him in the light of a Samson had not occurred to us until the other day, we were told that he picked up a piece of a meteor and later discovered that it weighed 70 tons. About 20 young ladies of the senior division of the shorthand class have formed a club known as the Somerville Chandler Thinking Club. Its officers were elected as follows: Pres., M iss Spar- row; vicc-pres, Miss Fitzgerald; treas.. Miss Stevens; sec., Miss Drake. The club motto engraved in shorthand on their badges is, “Help for the Living.” This is the first club of its kind. It would be a good plan for the members of other divisions to form like associa- tions. 99. Are you ready for next week’s Ethics question-box? All ’99 class items will be gladly re- ceived at Room 32. There seems to be many pressing en- gagements for Nov. 27. Miss F. of Room 27 thinks we are having “great times on the flatiron! It is hoped that there are no sensitive people in the Junior class. If there are, well— The Junior class is to be congratu- lated on its many and enthusiastic class meetings. “Cusha, cusha, cusha, calling,”—what

THK SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. '7 Games. SOMERVILLE HIGH, 58; NEWTON, 0. Somerville High defeated Newton in the first Junior League game of the season. It was not a very hard thing to do as the score will show. The Som- erville rush-line was changed about considerably, Stone being taken from his position behind the line and put at left tackle and Fitts put in at quarter. Somerville scored 24 points in the first half, the backs, Stone, Palmer and C. Pipe making brilliant runs. The New- ton line would not stand our plunges and gave way like so much paper. In the second half Somerville scored 34 points, bringing the total up to 58 to o. The whole team played well especially C. Pipe, who made almost innumerable long runs, aided by the good interfer- ence. SOMKRVILLK HIGH.

The Somervilles had every- thing their own way and “didn’t do a thing” to their opponents. Chelsea had some beefy men, but they lacked the sand of the Somerville players. One of the features of the game was Stone’s goal kicking, in which he drop- ped four from the field, missing but one. Somerville started the game in a rush and scored quickly. After this it was only a question as to how large they cared to make the score. Fitts ran his team with good judgment and was in every play. “Boat” Pipe showed that he was a nervy player and his work brought forth rounds of applause from the Somerville rooters. Cuddy also got in some fine runs and played a hard game. Cushman and Chandler played good defensive games and stopped every play that was directed against them. Coveney, Story and Pipe played the ends well. The team play have improved since the Newton game and their inter- ference was very hard to break up. S. II. CHKLSKA II.
