Rich ])refers the odors of the chemical laboratory to devotional exercises. H----- 1 is not ugly, only ferocious. It docs not pay to read library books in study pe- riods. Learned from sad experience. Heard in II. French 20: Unc sensation d'hum idite autour des prunelles.” A moisture around the prunes. Latest joke : When is a door not a door? When it is half open. Applause!!!! R-----e. the mischievous youngster” of the Tech division. Our class is represented on the gridiron this year by Cuddy, Duccy, Young, and Scriven. Ducey put up a stiff game at Wellesley, but was knocked out in last half, being kicked in the stomach. ’09 Frank H. Plimpton, Class Editor. Classmates, always be temperate.—Per Drink- water. The largest class yet! Let us see if we can't have the largest number of notes. A contest is now going on between J—h—s—n and Miss M—nn—ng in the collection of class pins. Please take notice. ■fcomc Boat» 36 ? U. f . Xowdl, X.. ’06 We are back from our vacation. From the mountains, lakes, and rivers. Front the dark and pathless forest, From the angry big sea water. Back to where the factory whistles Raise on high their siren voices. Once again our thoughts are centred On those High Schools on the hilltop. And we gather in the hallways With our brown and sun-burned classmates. And we grasp their hands sincerely, Mutt’ring words of cheer and welcome. Plotting, scheming in the meantime Lest our hopes of staying with them Should be doomed to disappointment. For if we should be conditioned. It would break our hearts forever; Thus the reason for our scheming. So we wander 'round the building, Trying to arrange a programme. But our sorely troubled faces Show that French conflicts with Latin, And we have less time for study Not much enthusiasm over a Freshman class meeting. Don’t forget to bring your notes to the editor. Every little helps.” Teacher: What was one of the vows of the knights? I.—tt—field: They could only love one lady. Teacher: That seems to have been impressed on your mind.” -------------------------------- Xatiit Motes [ Conti lim'd from 13.] Teacher: What is a 'testudo'? Pupil: A ‘testudo’ is a kind of flag that you put up to make the enemy stop firing. '09 Eugene L. Brine, Class Editor. In the class of 1909 110 pupils have registered. This class is one of the largest in the history of the Latin School. Small boys are very plentiful this year, but— small things arc easy to forget. If the students would study their Latin as hard as they try to speak to the Italians, there would be a difference in the marks. Wanted: A sensible young man to escort me up to the football field, as I go up all alone. (Signed) Captain A1----n. Will some one please shake McL—n? In Latin: Conjugate amo! Ev—tt (ten years old): I don't know what it means.” '09 is represented on the football squad by Fcclcy and Brine. Than is due the average pupil. Let us. then, be up and doing! Get our strangle hold on Latin ! Get the drop on French and English ! Then we'll wrestle with the German Till the beads of perspiration Frolic on our tired foreheads. As for higher mathematics, Save for them a solar plexus. Send them panting to the mattress. Make them take the count, dear scholars. Even physics has no terrors. For jiu-jitsu'll surely fix it. We will make these institutions Earthly Edens for our teachers : Not a pencil dropped nor whisper Shall disturb the awful silence. I low the faculty would marvel At such unassuming students! But we doubt if this could happen, Miracles occur no longer. But we’re back from summer’s pleasure To complete our education, And we hope to gain approval From the cultured world in general.

M SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 06 James A. Flaherty, Class Editor. At last we are Seniors! How many of us. as we look back over the past three years, can say. Eve been wise”: or do many say, It 1 had been wise ' The fact that class dues must be paid cannot be made too emphatic. Every Senior class that has gone before us has left some token of their esteem for this dear old school. and we must do the same. In order to do this, we must have money; so. Seniors, show your class spirit and pay your dues. Remember that there arc more ways of support- ing the Radiator than simply buying the monthly issue. If any one knows of a place to get an adver- tisement. tel! Lakin or Flaherty in Room ?! . The Senior class showed good judgment in elect- ing Dick Fernandez president. Dick is a fel- low in whom we all place great confidence. We are proud to learn that hair-haired Ruck ’ is president of the Athletic Association. Seniors are very slow in contributing class notes. Ask Ph—1—r—k whom he waits for every morn- ing. rain or shine. We are sorry that Winn is unable to return to school this year on account of poor health. Heard about the new club: Mae. Peggy. Annie, !Lu. and Gert. Mr. Whitcomb tells us that lie relies largely upon the Seniors to set the example of the school. Let us make our example a good one. lust notice that wise look the Senior assumes when lie finds himself in the presence of a Fresh- man. We notice that X—w—11 improves in every way but in the hair line. Even FI—h—rty has more than that. Where some of us expect to go upon leaving High School: Kernandez. Pitcher, and Reach. Tech: Gove. Houdlette, Dolbear. Tripp, and Savage. Tufts: Lakin. don't know yet : Water- house and Flaherty, to the college having the easiest exams ; Whitney, to the kindergarten. Nick—rs—n has chosen his latest from among the Freshmen. Heard in German: He rubbed his forehead or. the back of his head. What did Gove mean when he said in English: Quentin was wise when he kept his secrets from the women. 07 Walter H. McIntosh, Class Editor. We are glad to see so many of our old friends back, and heartily welcome all those who have come to us from the Latin School. I'he lunch counter’s motto seems to be, First come, last served ! A report has reached us that Doc M—sh—1! was seen walking up Pearl street with a young lady. We sincerely hope, however, that it is a false alarm. It is the wish of a good many pupils that Snow be kept off the corridors. Let all of us take an interest in our paper and make this year a very successful one. Lost, strayed, or stolen—Arnold and his note- books. Any one returning above-mentioned com- bination to Room 22 will undoubtedly be rewarded with a smile. The class is represented on the gridiron by Wil- liam Henderson, Ireland. Merrill, and McXeil. The Tech sociables are just as well attended this year in Room 22 as they were last year in Room 23. We are now upper-classmen. Let us prove our- selves worthy of the name. C hick Pr—tt was very much handicapped in carrying on his experiments in physiology because his mother objected to his playing with matches. We would be able to do much more at our class meetings if a larger crowd would attend. At a meeting held in Room 30 September 28. Joseph A. Parant was elected president. Let us one and all give the football team good support by attending the games. All class notes will be gratefully received.

i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Ercbauoc iRotes Among the exchanges we have received are: The Advance, the Advocate, Xeedham, the Advo- cate, Saugus, the Argus, Harrisburg, l’a.. the Argus. Holderness. X. II.. High School Bulletin. Crimson and White, the Clarion, the Colby Acad- emy Voice. High School Gleaner, the Hyak. the Imp. the Index, the Jabberwock. Junto, the Look- out. the Mirror, the Observer, the Oracle, Pennant, the Recorder, the Latin School Register, the San- born Echo, the Lowell Textile Journal, the Til- ton ian. the Varsity. As this is the first number of the Radiator, no exchanges have as yet been sent out: but we hope to exchange with all those who were on our list last year. The Enterprise, Roxburv. and the Oracle. Pan- gor. are interesting papers, but the absence of an exchange column is noticeable in both. We wish to compliment the Spectator on its ap- pearance. and also its reading matter. It is one of the neatest of our exchanges. The cuts in the Racquet. Portland, are excep- tionally good. The A. IPS. 'I'idings has a large alumni column, which adds greatly to the interest of the paper. Panorama, why not shorten vour club notes and put in more short stories? We agree with the re- marks of your editor as to the use of an exchange ■editor. 'fhe College Signal is cordially welcomed bv the editor, also the Skirmisher. Bordcntown. X. J. Ihe Senior. Westerly. R. I., contains a very bright little article entitled The Diary of a Fresh- man. Skirmisher. San Mateo. Cal., a few short stories would make your paper much more attractive. The Tramp. in the Stator, promises to be very interesting. What a fine list of exchanges. Stator! A few cuts would greatly improve the Latin School Register. ----------------------------- HI timui iRctes Great praise is due Charlie Cuddy, E., 00. for the masterful way lie has conducted our athletics during the last few years.
