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.

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.

Keyes, and Freeman. Three meetings have already been held at the home of the president. Bergen Reynolds. ()n the night of October 8 a rush party was ■Id. and after a business meeting was held, the ks” entertained their guests as only members .e Gamma Kta Kappa can. Songs and frugal j .reshments made the time pass almost too quickly, when it was found that something was missing. A delegation at once left the house, and returned with Mr. Murray, one of the most popular teachers in the two schools. It was a thoroughly satisfied crowd that dispersed at a late hour. Those invited were: Brine. L., '00; 1 ’routy and Sharry. L., ’08: Cuddy. E.. ’08: Merrill and Hen- derson. E.. '07: L. Bowlbv and Bcnway, L.. '07; Coan, E., '06; A.

Z k jfra tetnUy Bailee All those who were fortunate enough to attend the Fraternity dance at Anthoine’s last December will be pleased to hear that it is to be repeated this year. The three clubs then interested, the L. E. D., S. T. I)., and Kappa Phi Eta. have appointed a joint committee, who have all arrangements per- fected, and expect an even greater success than be- fore. The dance this year is to have many unique fea- tures, and will take the form of a Rose Party. This gives ample opportunity for the beautiful decora- tions. which will far surpass those of last season, and they were considered the prettiest ever put up in the hall. All the clubs and fraternities of the High Schools, both graduate and undergraduate, arc o be invited, and the date. December 28. which comes during vacation, will make it convenient for all con- cerned. It is to be a subscription party, the number of in- vitations positively limited, and obtainable only from members of the three clubs, or the secretary.. Roger V. Pettingell. of 106 Highland avenue, be- fore December 1. The committee in charge of affairs is as follows: Misses Ethel M. Snow and Florence M. Reed, of the L. E. D.: William A. I.afield. Jr., and David L. Countway. Jr., of the S. T. 1).: and Chester L. Nve and Roger Pettingell. of the Kappa Phi Eta Club. ■ •——-— Caiuicnicbts The Taugcnichts began the season as they ended it—with an afternoon dance in Odd Fellows Hall, Saturday. September 23. Refreshments were served at Pearson's. About twenty couples were present, and were chaperoned by Miss Palmer and Miss Fowler. ----------------------------- IT be jf. lb. fl . fraternity After a most strenuous vacation, every member of this charitably-inclined organization is back and ready to renew operations with the same character- istic enterprise that so distinguished the ”frat last year. A rumor was circulated that the stocky centre of Somerville High had left the club. We desire to state that this rumor was entirely without foundation. Who. we ask, could fill the gap in our ranks if he should desert us? We are glad that the greater part of the club has no intention of leaving, which speaks well for the F. II. P. Two new members have been admitted, who. after a se- vere examination, in which neither time nor ex- pense were spared, were found worthy to be our brethren. S. T. Jarvis needs no introduction, while John Leavitt, though diminutive in stature, and un- assuming in appearance, well deserves to boast of membership in our far-famed fraternity. The apartment where the club has its rendezvous is small and unpretentious, but it's our little home; just the same.
