YVe are so sorry, and he is getting old, too. We note several prominent class members among the candidates for the football team. And where did he bury it?” the interested teacher asked. In the ground.” the prosaic youth answered. (The teacher collapsed.) The Normal girls can’t take manual training be- cause—why. simply because their studies would be- come abnormal. Geom. A already has a class artist in the person of Master Groves. Pupils of Division A are beginning to find out that it is better to learn their poems than write them several times for not learning them.

The girls arc ahead of the boys in basket ball. They have their team formed and are practicing. Yet the boys wish them victory, though we can- not go to cheer them. The Freshman team, ’06, wish games with any team their size. Apply to Edward Munroc. Room 15. E. H. S. If it takes three boys five minutes to open a tran- som in Room 12, how long would it take them to open a window? Support the class football team. MISS ELIZABETH CAMPBELL.

This is the largest Freshman class since the divi- sion of the school in 1895. Freshman! Keep your eye on C--------v! He may not be worth a dollar, but lie’s a good quarter.

SOMERVILLI-: HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 1903. 1904. Class organization: President, Herbert A. Cur- rier: vice-president. Miss C. Louise Stickney; secretary. Harry M. Dix; treasurer, Miss E. Beatrice Hodges; class editor. K. R. Hyde: new member of executive committee of Radiator, R. C. Cochrane. The only thing received by the Senior class editor when he assumed his duties was an old and well-worn rubber stamp, bearing the words: “SENIORS AT LAST!!!” A most noble response was made to Mr. Whit- comb’s suggestion that the Seniors give a little brotherly advice to the Freshmen. A number of our earnest young men now spend their entire re- cesses in giving ‘‘brotherly advice” to certain young ladies in the Freshman class. Let the good work go on! The marvelous similarity in color between the Freshmen and our beautiful $40,000 lawn is mak- ing the youngsters unbearably proud. Instructor And what became of Columbus, afterward?” Lowell (after deep thought)—“He died.” News item: Freund fell down again the other day. and although spreading himself all over a cor- ridor and breaking three chairs, finally concentrated Tiimsclf into a heap, and was found to be unhurt, as usual. To anxious inquirer: No. Polsey hasn’t a stiff neck. That's merely dignity. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but when we saw Burton sipping hair-invigorater. we knew that the football season was at hand. 1.31 P. M. in the Library. A cry is heard like thunder-sound. The noise of footsteps echoes round, It’s merely the members of ’oughty-threc In their struggle to capture history. According to Mr. Abbott’s account of his ances- tral tree, we must all be relatives of his, distant or otherwise. Now, Mr. Abbott, be good and invite us all to a family reunion. Master B-------. in Division F, emphatically reiterated to his astonished classmates that he was a strange” lover. We wonder if he is new in the business. All jokes cheerfully explained on receipt of a two-ccnt stamp. On Tuesday. September 10. was held a class meeting to elect officers for the Junior year. J. Al- bert Wilson was re-elected president, J. Edward Frost, vice-president, Edward J. Fallen, secretary, Roland W. Dunham, treasurer, and Lawrence Mitchell, editor. For the latest definitions in bookkeeping apply to Eustis, Room 33. Teacher—’ What current event of great interest can you give me this morning?” Freshman (eagerly)—”Mv mamma has just put up twenty tumblers of jelly.” Miss W - -d. translating III. Latin (3) B.— No one of all his friends and necessaries saluted him.” N. B.—It was near lunch time. Teacher—“Will the young lady in the corner kindly give me her name?” Young Lady— Miss Connor.” (Corner.) Puhig, of HI. English F. says that Forres is in the upper right-hand side of Scotland. The great game among the Freshmen is tag: of football they know but little. Our class is well represented on the football field by Allen, Bean. Woodworth. Douglas. Frost, Stacy, Babbett. Fallen, and Trueman. Even the iceman is affected by the coal strike. All that is left of last year’s double quartette is now in our class. Edward was called the Martyr” because of his mother-in-law. Is this a natural conclusion? Allen went off camping this summer. Members of Room 31 spend a great deal of time in and around the English High School Bank. Beware. Sophomores, we keep it under guard! 1905. A subscription has been started for the purpose of buying Colgrovc a good, substantial toy. F. Murphy, thirty cents. Is it possible that Murphy is so hard of hearing as to understand vaccination slips as score cards; or was it------? Something new. a dutchhound.”—C--------. Perhaps Sir Roger was not so unlucky, after all.”—Sir Roger’s disappointment in love.

The call for football candidates of September 15 by Captain McCoy was responded to by about twenty men. This number has rapidly increased to over forty. The outlook is very encouraging. Several of last year’s men are again to be depended upon, and the new material should well fill the va- cant positions. The squad is rapidly rounding into shape under the able instruction of Coach Edward M. D’Almcida. who has again been selected to coach our pigskin chasers.
