FOR three consecutive years the Som- erville High and Latin Football team has won the championship of the Junior Interscholastic League. The work of the eleven has been of the gilt- edged order and the players well deserve the praise that is now being bestowed upon them. To Captain Charles Cuddy and Coach Holmes a great deal of credit is due. Both of these men worked very hard to turn out a team that would re- flect honor on the schools and we all BUSINESS MANAGER.

The artist en- deavors to bring out the features that have the most resemblance to an animal or bird. This makes a large number of the faces very startling and all of them amusing. Take, for instance, Lord Sal- isbury, Prime Minister of Great Britain, who was drawn to resemble a pig. The lower part of his naturally large face was made still larger, so that the like- ness to the aforesaid animal was striking. Other caricatures were Rich- ard Croker, as a bull dog; Hall Caine, the author of “The Christian;” Henry Austin, Poet Laureateof England; James Gordon Bennett, Thomas C. Platt, as an elephant, and Joseph Pulitzer, the much abused and talked about editor of the X. Y. World, the great “Yellow Kid newspaper, as a parrot; also the picture of Robert Van Wyck, mayor-elect of Greater New York, who, as the Boston I lerald said, was enough to frighten even “Dick” Croker. These pictures are wor- thy of careful study if you are inter- ested in the prominent men of the day.

TIIE attractive posters which were placed upon the bulletin boards in the corridors of both the schools during the past football season were done by Fitts, Reynolds and Giles These draw- ings advertised the game much better than the regular printed placards. The last one executed by Fitts for the Dor- chester game was especially good. DOOR “Arvard!” Although the I coaches decided to remove the IPs on the players’ sweaters for the sake of spurring them on to victory, it did not make them succeed any better. The annual saying, “wait until next year,” is receiving an awful strain. SOMERVILLE, or rather more cor- rectly speaking, the Heptorean Club, was especially favored in being able to hear Marion Crawford, one of the most noted novelists of the day. The large audience that greeted him shows that Somerville knows how to appreciate a good thing. HOTOGRAPIIS of the Somerville High School second eleven are now on sale. They may be procured from Gilbert, Latin, ’98, for the small sum of fifteen cents. TI IE flags on some of our grammar school buildings are in a very dilap- idated condition. Wouldn't it be well to “tear the tattered ensigns down,” and raise new ones in their places ?
