THK SOMERVILLK RADIATOR ’07 Henry G. Dovle. Class Editor. Glass organization: President, L. H. Bowlby; secretary. Miss Ada Hallett; treasurer. Ralph Edwin Whitman. (News item from “Hearsti Romanum. November 8, B. C. (S3.) We learn that the diabolical Mr. Catiline left town last night with a party of friends. Vale. Cat. We also learn that Mr. Catiline's graft has been ex- posed by Mark Cicero. Mark is one of the best muck-rakers we ever had. They promised to kill me on my doorstep.” How shocking Notts sommes a Paris. We sleep in Paris.” Our popular class president, in addition to being captain of the football team, has been elected presi- dent of the Athletic Association. The class of 1907 has now reached the top of the ladder. Let us show that our exaltation lias not increased the size of our hat-bands in any respect. Our good example will be followed by the under- classmen. we feel sure. Let us all do our level best to make this, our final year in school, a worthy one. Some of us may go to college, some may enter the business world, but our recollection of our last year will always remain fresh in our minds. Let us, then, trv to carry away only pleasant memories. Some of the Freshmen exhibit hosiery loud unto such a degree as to stop the street cars or even freeze ice cream. ’OS F. D. Cooper, Class Editor. Teacher: For what did the Greeks use olive oil?” A—I—n : Salad dressing.” Aliss C—r— is sure of one good Mark, anyway. In Latin: “Field, make your feet more promi- nent. He has two turns in his trousers now, is that not enough? The T. II. Club plans a brilliant social season for the ensuing year. Is your tan all gone yet? Class officers: President. Herbert V. Field; vice- president. Harold L. Etheridge; secretary and treasurer, Isabel McDonald; class editor, I . D. Cooper. Our class is represented in the football squad by Sharry. Allen, Noble, and Commins. It is not true that Qu—n—e—11 is to be leading man in a French play. Trad is losing weight bv the strenuous game of football. H—or—n has secured a fine position (to sleep in). Come to the games, girls, and pick out your heroes. According to Miss P.r—d—u—y. sitzen means to stand. ’09 Spencer L. Sawyer, Class Editor. At the meeting held Thursday, September 27, Edward Harrington was elected president, with Herbert Jarvis as vice-president, and Miss Tread- well as secretary and treasurer. Spencer Sawyer was elected class editor, with Eliot Slater and George Backus as Rawator representatives. No more morning constitutionals of three flights. '09! We get off at the first floor. We arc glad to see that the class of 09 has come out of its sleep, and at last has a president. Owing to the length of Harrington’s speech, it is impossible to publish it in this number. Slier—an. the Sophomore husky, was seen sur- mounting a cannon with a large stick trying to squeeze a little Latin out of one of the Freshmen. Miss Mo—rc is evidently practicing for the basket ball team by her daily shots at the waste basket. It is said that one of the Soph hazers was identi- fied by the color of his hair. Who may this cul- prit be? Pit—n. we are sorry to say, is getting very con- ceited. His constant companion is,a looking glass. Mac-----Id. our class athlete, was seen tantalizing a poor Freshman. Why so cruel, Mac? Anybody wishing to sec M-------v at recess will find him at the corner store eating ice cream. No more fooling for Me—cr. His entire time is taken up with the cleaning of his glasses. It is evident that the Misses Ha-------et and F—nch have vet to get over their Freshman ways. The class of 09 has certainly done itself justice on the field. Let it not only he on the field, but at school, also. [Continued on i «it« 20.]

i6 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR ’07 Charles Hilliard, Class Editor. We are now on the home stretch, with the goal in sight. Let us finish with living colors and our “sheep-skins.” At the recent class meeting the following officer was elected for the ensuing year: President, Wil- liam Henderson. W are glad to note the enthusiasm shown at the last class meeting, and we hope the same amount will be shown towards the Radiator. Ri—h is still wearing the green. Some of the girls in astronomy think it rather dull. Oh. but wait! According Jo I .of—s, physics is the science of doing things without doing them. Some occupations that the “boys” have been en- gaged in during the summer:— Whit—ey has acted the role of a life-saver by serving as a bell buoy (bell boy). Ycr W—be has been “working on the railroad. J-----La—e has been studiously engaged in reading a book, entitled “How to Become a Sport. This challenge comes to one and all: Are you a Senior, short or tall? If not. the end door kindly take. Twill do no good to work a fake. ITow was it done? 1 low did it happen? Where? When: Which? Who did it? Why, only Ho!—an made a complete recitation the other day. The days of miracles aren’t over yet. It has been learned recently that Miss Pro—st went to Providence during the summer and re- turned. alone! Bab—t. don’t take any lead nickels because they look good. The 'l ech division contains a Winn mill that grinds out fine recitations. Goods shipped promptly. Ire—and still wears “that smile that won’t come off.” Is it Quaker Oats? When in doubt about chemical blondes, go to W—rd. Room 29; he is well informed. Sm—Mi is trying to be a comedian. Won’t somebody please help him out by smiling? Cupid has gone to work and smashed his bow trying to shoot stars. We notice as the years roll by that Sn—w has a tendency to patronize the street cars more and more. The Farmer’s Almanac gives the following no- tice: A. Fr—man has just recovered from that ter- rible disease called football enthusiasm by receiving several gentle pats from others affected in the same way. We are well represented in football by Merrill, Henderson. Ireland, Fitzherbert, McLaughlin, MacNeal, Ycr Wiebc, and our manager. Whitney. It is expected that the Senior football team will make a good showing after a little practice. The sympathy of the class is extended to our classmate Gorman in the loss he has sustained dur- ing the summer in the death of his older brother. ’OS Edwin A. Sibley, Class Editor. Class organization : President, William H. I lovt; vice-president, Mabel L. Teele; secretary. William II. Glidden: treasurer, Samuel T. Rich; class editor, Edwin A. Sibley. Our class is ably represented on the football field by Hoyt, Scriven, Wiley, and Laurie. Is it true that if Kebbon should fall down in front of the High School lie would be half way home? Heard in elocution: “When I got to my boat it was gone.” Some of the Juniors, in comparison with the Freshmen, look like fathers with their sons. Wc have a Brewer in the class. Careful, Ned. Somerville is a no-lieense town. The word Sophomore means a wise fool.” Wonder if a Junior invented it? If cuts and bruises were reckoned in making the football team, Worth would be the whole team. Wc have very little money in the class, only Mills and Nichols: and vet our treasurer is Rich. The Lyon did not stir, so the Knight took the Spear and did Lander, but it was not Worth it, as it ha«l Shedd its Brown and Rich Hyde. To the noteworthy class of ’08: The class editor wants notes. Any kind,—humorous, pathetic (most of the jokes offered arc pathetic), social, ath- letic. or otherwise. [ Continued on page 19.]

IS THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR CAl’TAIN L. A. HOW MiY XIbe jfootball Captain At ihc meeting of the Somerville High School Athletic Association last spring. Lawrence A. Bowlby was elected captain of the football team, to take the place of Herbert Henderson, who was prohibited from playing this fall, owing to a new Interscholastic League law. In the selection of Lawrence Bowlbv as captain, a better choice would be almost impossible, Bowlby having been on the squad for three years, making him fullv ac- quainted with the tactics of the game. A player always working for the uplifting of all gentlemanly sports, and working to do all in his power to have our schools hold to the highest standard that is attainable. Bowlbv does not confine himself wholly to football, having gained a reputation of being one of the best backstops in the league. Somerville, U; Everett, 0 Saturday. September 2! . Somerville opened the football season by winning an easy victory over Everett High School. Both teams were snappy, but the visitors had the heavier team. Somerville kicked off to Everett, and bv repeated attacks on Everett's line soon had a touchdown, and before the half closed another was added to our tally In the short second half neither side scored. For Somerville. Bowlby and Mixer shone in the backfield. while Buckley and Jackson played well for Everett. The line-up :— SOMERVILLE HIGH. EVERETT HIGH.
