86 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Miss II—dy’s favorite quotation, from “The Merchant of Venice : “He that chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath. Some of our classmates’ nicknames:— S—sic Mosquito. II—n—1—y: Oats. I ’—a—e: fttd-skow. H—r—i—g: Honkus. p...r. cr: Mallet. (h—p—an: Fat. V—it—an : Cotton-top. M—r—c: Moose. We notice that Hurt recently had his hair cut. He v ill soon be using the curling iron again. A happy and prosperous New Year to all. Hill An—rews says he doesn’t see how “Mozart in the lecture hall can sit so near D—o—s and not get into trouble. Have you heard Miss L—tch recite? If not. ac- cept the first opportunity. The editor herewith makes an urgent appeal for more notes from his classmates. Will some one please give J—n—s an alarm clock, and perhaps his tardy marks may improve. Miss II—r—n spent.a vacation in Providence recently: nothing serious, we hope. Ch—p—n is giving instructions in electricity in Room 18 every recess. Come early and avoid the rush. ’10 Andrew F. Handley, Class Editor. B—rl—w wishes to impress upon the minds of his classmates that he is now in business, and there- fore must not be disturbed. H—11 was seen riding on the rear end of a car talking to the motorman. Ho—d—n’s new word: “Attributing.” Sav—gc is spending most of his recess time scraping ink off the floor in 21 X. We hope there will be no occasion for any one else doing this laborious work. Miss Cr—sbv wants to know the name of the bust in the further end of the Annex corridor. She thinks it is Longfellow. Ambitions of some of our classmates:— Ho—scs. to learn German. Sa—ge, to be civilized. Munday. to be some other day. Sc—it, to be a sport. F—st—r, to be an eloquent speaker. Sk—11—ng, to be a giant. Cousins says he can play a piano with his feet. Believe it? Our president is getting very industrious. We hope others will do the same. The graduates of the Hodgkins School held a reunion on January 0 in the hall of that building. Ail enjoyed the evening. Xatin motes (Continued from page SI.) MO Arthur 11. Sanborn, Class Editor. The Freshman class is well represented at the Shakespeare plays. Soon they should be able to give one themselves. It has been found that Miss Mag-------n carries dangerous weapons with her. She has already tried them on M------by and M------ 1. St----le has been talking so much about the wild and woolly West that it would not be a sur- prise to have him appear at school some day with a cap-pistol and a jackknife. Gr----d’s mind has been severely taxed in his debate, but it does not look as though he would bo likely to collapse just yet. Miss Le----d went to New York lately to dis- play to her relatives her newly-learned Latin. K-----n and McK--------n are trying for the Globe’s school contest. Mr. Murray says to use headnotes instead of footnotes. R-----ss is putting into practice the new spelling reform. An example—Spata (Sparta). Miss P-----1 ought to buy a hammer and some nails and take a drive from Cambridge instead of walking. Gr----ns has become class pugilist. Have you noticed his eye? We are informed that although Miss 'I'-------lor keeps the stockyards, Sh-----p makes all the noise for the livestock; Some of the Freshmen seem to be practicing for the baseball team. X-----le recently declared that he was bashful. Appearances are very deceitful. Gr----d lias made a number of New Year’s reso- lutions, but we cannot see that he is keeping them. Miss T-----lot’s “gold pieces” arc not nearly so valuable as they may look. I)----son is in the same danger that Gr------n was in a short time ago. Wc extend our sympathy to Miss Adams, who left school on account of the sudden death of her father. Room 32 has a very clever electrician in Mc- K-----n. Wc understand that K------’s ear is made for a pencil rack. The little things are those that count in life (the Freshmen). Miss G-----n seems to like to attract attention in the algebra class. Question: And what is so rare as a dav in June?” Answer: “Class pins.”

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 85 '07 Charles Hilliard. Class Editor. As the New Year is ushered in. we find a grow- ing fondness in our hearts for our school and our friends. Don’t forget, boys, to pay your due respects to our treasurer. Miss Washburn. THAT’S THE REASON WHY. There’s a reason for everything that makes our world go. There’s a reason for Campbell's Soup rhymes, There’s a special reason for Snow. Rut the reason our Bishop frequents the first hall I don’t.—let me see—why. T don’t see any real reason at all! Wh—ney reports that there is need of an assist- ant to help the treasurer carry the money. We wonder if he is interested. This hard problem in physics was given Division A: What would happen to Snow under a black- woollen blanket???” Some one said: “Why, he would be out of sight.” Bab-----1. our renowned scientist, has discovered a way of moving the earth, if it happens to be in his way. Geology has been voted the stony path to wis- dom. More perplexing problems of the Tech boys: How much hot air would it take to displace a Winn-mill? We were sorry to see one of our classmates go- ing around with a placard announcing lie belonged to that class called the “lemons ’ A good suggestion from l’ratt for obtaining class notes: When you wish any literarv matter, just put down a line and hook it in. Just like fishing; easy. We have with us at present the all-star come- dians. Loft—s and R—ch. Now is the time to dust off our books and get to work in real earnest.

January 13. 1923—F. Ar—Id played “Hamlet to-night before a large, but unappreciative, audi- ence. and in the course of the performance received many gifts not confined to flowers alone. He re- marked : I am still washing the egg stains from my clothes. Oh! that it should come to this!’’ (doubtlessly referring to himself). W—rd says he now understands what that com- mon expression, “on the rocks. means. Lost somewhere!!! Reward offered! F—llan has lost his cash envelope containing §350 in bills. Re—rs—n. our railroad information bureau: “Any one wishing to know the time of trains leav- ing for Providence, apply at Room 21.” Another mystery!!! Where is Stealthy Steve??? Algebra 4 should be careful about taking chances, because that develops into gambling We just wonder why so many of the Senior boys are attracted towards Room 28. Arn---------d, espe- cially. 'Hie following constitute the photograph com- mittee: Miss Anna Smith. Miss Washburn. Miss Beaudet. Messrs. McNeil, McIntosh, Merrill, and Henderson, chairman. ’OS Edwin A. Sibley, Class Editor. We have lost two of our classmates. Worth and Christie. The former is going to move to Buena Vista. Col., and the latter cannot be with us be- cause of ill-health. Heard in French: “He never liked his horse, who ambled along slowly.” Good work, Scrib. Start the new year with good resolutions, and stick to them. A Freshman girl says: “Ly—n is the boy with the auburn hair.” The school week after the Christmas vacation an observant person could not help noticing the neck- ties. especially the red. lavender, and green.

Li—t - ef—d (in elocution): “The major thought is the kind of a night it was.” B—nf—1 (upon receiving his report card) : “It was a shame to waste the red ink.”

When Mr. Bond came he could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw the weather-beaten face of the captain. “Why,” he said, “when did you get in ? I didn’t ■expect you back for four or five days.” “I got in this morning. When I got the tele- gram I did as well as I could.” “Curtis Pope’s lumber hasn’t arrived vet, has it?” “Oh. no!” said the captain, “we left them wav behind.” When Mr. Mead came he united with his part- ner in praising the captain. The latter, however, made a few gruff replies, and started to go, when Mr. Mead called him back. “We hear you arc to be married soon, Captain Rich.” said he with a smile. “Yes. I hope to be.” replied lie, reddening. “Mr. Bond and I wish to present you with a lit- tle token of our appreciation of all your faithful ser- vice. but especially of this last, and give our best wishes to the lady.” He handed the captain a little slip of paper. It was a check for one thousand dollars. Thenceforth no one had any grounds for com- plaint about the service at Jacksonville. Leangle did his best, but he was ruined financially for life.
