Phillips; secretary, Miss Bradshaw; treasurer. Miss Drouet. We welcome back Miss Bradshaw to the class of '04. Wyman lias been asked to join the girls’ basket ball team. He learned all his fussing” in Winthrop. To deal summarily.” That ought to bring a full house. We all (fern.) wish to express our sincere sym- pathy with Miss D------in the severe loss which the opening of Dartmouth has caused her. Parataxcs cures indigestion. Soon the Sophomore class will have looked up the Greek equivalents for The Thirteen Thugs,” Aren’t We Rascals?” etc.; and there will be a fresh crop of Greek societies—the fruit of eru- dition. Cole says he can't get to sleep without a lullaby. Pipe up, everybody! Homer couldn’t get a poetical license in Boston —not if he used the plural for the singular. Our public men are Ricker, Lawson. Mc- Laughlin, Cohen, and Hovcy. Quite a bunch! The unspeakable translator gets in his dreadful work again: The children have the feathers. The camels have the humps.” It was quite evident who was the most popular boy in the class. Too bad, Walter! Cutler sing bass! That would be funny. Long trousers don’t affect the voice, Homer. Any one who would slam a book after singing a hymn is beyond criticism. When that knife dropped, the Boston papers got out extra editions on the rumors that severe earth- quake shocks had been felt from the direction of Somerville. Chairs wanted for the advanced French class may be procured in the laboratory by kittens, mag- pies, tragic actresses, electric cars, and steam en- gines ; thus a teacher terms two harmless maidens. “The wounded deer, moaning like a supple- ment.” Teacher— And who is Teele?” Teele (placing his hand in his coat a la Bryan, taking on the grin and sidewise squint of Sunny Jim, lifting high his head to show the red-hot neck- tie around his charred collar, and assuming the aesthetic pose of Happy Hooligan), said, “I AM TEELE!” 05. As the result of the class election, the following officers were chosen: President, Robert Burns: secretary, Miss Ruth Whitman: Radiatok repre- sentatives. Scwall. Durell. and Miss Whitman; editor. Arthur Soule. Six feet in a line and ten lines equals sixty feet of Virgil. Whew! Practical illustrations in Physics keep up the in- terest. The class wishes to congratulate Leo Ilafford on receiving the well-earned position of captain of the baseball team. Robert Burns, of this class, was elected vice- president of the Athletic Association. Welcome, Freshmen! The class is well represented on the gridiron by I lafford, Burns. Elliot, Sewall, and Colman. We arc glad to see that Cameron, our forme classmate, is out for the team. Sixty-seven stairs three times a day! We are glad to say that the subscription list from our class exceeds fifty. The first seven vears were spent in growing.”— Elliot. ’06. Will the seven tenors please get into these eight scats?” Who said Carr was a Sleeping Car(r)”? A small edition of Lowell’s poem. “The Fresh- man. will be published for supplementary reading in Freshman classes. Our president has appointed a committee to as- sist busy mothers in bringing the Freshmen to school in baby carriages. Double amount of green trading stamps with every note this year, so come early,—come often. D-----(in Latin)—“After they had thrown a few men around the walls.” [Continued on page 25.]

Edward Frost; vice-president. ArthurTI. Duhig; secretary, Ed- ward J. Fallen; treasurer. Harry S. Chandler: class editor. Warren Brooks Farnum. Everybody support the High School Athletic As- sociation by joining. Membership can be obtained from Mr. Jones. Frost. Bean. Cotter, and Blair represented the High School in a relay race at the Brockton Fair, and captured second place. Our former classmate. Harold M. Allen, is play- ing on the Exeter football team. The Six Club will continue to hold meetings this winter. Teacher—“What class of people show their fond- ness for nursery rhymes?” I upil— Freshmen.” Cheer up. Fallen. Our class is full of young ladies who can make fudge. Dunham and Miss Greenwood have written a new song, entitled Wilson Must Have Been a-Drecming.” Miss Brown (in Astronomy)— Jupiter does not stay out late at night.” H—g—t— Well. I have come home many a morning and seen him out.” Frost. Bean. Duhig. Trueman, and Crosby repre- sent the class on the gridiron. Miss McRae got the full benefit of a pan of water in Chemistry. Stacy has returned to school. He now belongs to the Sons of Rest.” Hall: We know you have tried hard to get your name in the first issue of the Radiator. A glass jar fell from the shelf and injured the spine of one of our Juniors. He is now seen wear- ing rubber heels,thinking they will keep the jar off his spine. Soon will come that change in the weather When Frost and Snow will be seen together. How true, and yet so pleasing! The Freshmen have resolved to lay their tops aside and make this a successful marble season. '05. Samuel Dolbcar has the remarkable record of entering Clark University by passing its examina- tion after but two years of High School work. We hope now people will begin to appreciate the suDcricr quality of the class of ’05. The class loses a valuable member in Clyde Scott, who leaves us to devote himself to journal- ism. During the last year Mr. Scott was staff art- ist for the Radiator, and rendered valuable ser- vice, especially on the June number. He will be greatly missed. Our Junior class election resulted in the election of Maurice Blair, president ; Molly Edmands, vice- president; Edwin Weaver, secretary; Harold Cur- rier. treasurer: and Leonard Libbcy, class editor. Among the candidates out for the football team from our class arc Murphy, Blair, Curran, Currier, Scottron, Maynard. Tope, Commins, O’Gara, Hines. Driscoll, and Lamont. Murphy. Commins. and Lamont arc showing up especially well. An English teacher in this school thinks that Miss B-----e recites on the installment plan. B—k—r (in English)— Scott was born along the last of the eighteenth and first of the nineteenth century.” We arc glad to see that we have several new classmates from the Latin School. Again the staff artist is chosen from our class, Edwin Weaver being elected. This is the second vear that the position has been filled by a member of the S. O. M. Club. '06. At a recent meeting, the following class officers were elected: President, Alfred DeNoycr; vice- president. Miss Harvey; treasurer, Miss Young; secretary. Russell Freeman; editor, Richard Keyes. Heard in German:— Teacher— Das Haus Jaccob baute.” Pupil— The house that Jack built.” We hope that the Juniors will not attempt to tease L—k—n. He is no longer a Freshman. Hall. Lakin, and Rice represent our class on the football squad. Every one should join the Pligh School Athletic Association, and go to the games. We are longing to see our first report card!
