THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR It is interesting to note how many wireless ex- perts we have in this class. Indeed, our old friend loin rhumb II. contemplates forming a wireless signal corps for the boys’ brigade to serve in a pos- sible war some time. Y. L. J—s is beginning to worry about his lady friends. None of them have called on him for ever so long. From the way the class notes haven’t poured in as yet, we infer that no one knows the editor's whereabouts, which are Room 22 or elsewhere in evidence. '10 Class Editor, Stuart Forster. The annual election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, Clarence Mixer; vice-president, Mabel Henderson; secretary, Frederick Winn; treasurer, Joseph Pike. Found in Room 18—A large, ferocious wasp! For further particulars apply to F—Id, II. Tech. Div. Some one has stolen a baby carriage from a Freshman. This was very naughty, and we heartily denounce this evidence of hcartlessness. We hear that the coloring matter of red ink is beginning to get scarce and expensive. Hurrah! No more illuminations on our report cards. Since a few of the Freshmen have cut their sec- ond teeth, they have affected long pants. Cheer up, fellows! Even if you do get “D” in German, think of all the fellows in Germany that get “D” in English ! M—nd—y (in geometry): “A straight line is one that ain’t curved.” Ah—n’s idea of a future existence: Study pe- riods for those who have been good, geometry for those who have been bad. C—p—r, it was very unkind of you to take the Teddy bear away from the dainty little Freshman. Let the child have her plaything. FIcard recently at dancing school:— II----1 (in trembling accents): “Can I—may I— that is—would you—have you any objections—I mean—give us this dance, will you?” All persons taking I. Ger. call upon Professor B—rl—w for aid in translation. Dun—n (in German): “Sich trat aus Fcnster.” “She walked out of the window.” 7 Wanted: A telephone for S--------t’s use in Eng- lish. Please bring notes. Don't be bashful. I want to make our column better than all the others. I cannot do so without the support of the class. Bring all notes, stories, and poems to Room 19, Seat 43. Miss L—ur—e is rapidly becoming a famous surgeon by her work in the biology class. II—d—on received a slight flesh wound while running his finger over the crease in his trousers. Look out for the Savage. Have you noticed the different shades of red floating around Room 19 lately? If A—ea—n swallowed a nickel, would lie be five cents out or five cents in? Speaking of singular and plural nouns in Divi- sion B, ask Miss Br—an if she likes to read adver- tisements? D—n—n is so interested in geometry that he confuses it with other subjects. For instance, in mechanical drawing: “Shall we perform the same operation in this?” ’ll Class Editor, Arthur Leighton. At the class meeting the following officers were elected: President. Charles Dickerman; vice- president, Ruth Dillon: secretary, George New- comb; treasurer, Alton Whitman. In algebra it is always “let x equal the unknown quantity.' We all sit in the (an) “X.” Now where are we? We may be little, we may be small, But that matters not at all. For we can try, as you will see, As hard as those who Seniors be. They say we are the smallest class to ever enter the English High School, and yet we are the larg- est as statistics show. With 400 members we cer- tainly ought to make ourselves both seen and heard. Lost—Between Rooms 18 and 19, a Freshman! Finder please return to 12 X. It is hoped that some of our members may see fit to join the Debating Society. The membership is limited, so do not wait too long. Although too inexperienced to take any active part, the splendid opportunity afforded to become better versed in the art of debating should not be overlooked.

i6 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Class Editor, Edward Brewer. Class officers are: President, William Hoyt; vice-president, Grace Bradford; secretary. Ralph Riddell; treasurer, Arthur Campbell. “Br—wn, I want the number of your book.” Br—wn (awaking): ‘‘Present.” Olin makes a good wife, but still he beats his “hubby.” The editor regrets to announce that our class- mate. Ernest L. Thornquest, has left school to take a position in the stock exchange. Here’s wishing him good luck. We are glad to note that C—pi—1 is still hale and hearty at the age of GOO. We welcome to the Senior class J. I. Taylor, of the Wiscasset High School, Maine. Mr. Taylor is in line for Technology. AMBITIONS OK A FEW SENIORS. Pr—t—n : To buy a lawn-mower. G—d—n : To be an orator. Cr—g: To be a soldier. Ek—s—g—n : To help Pr—t—n. Br—w—r : To get a few notes. C—pb—1: To get his wife into the ark. Br—ggs: Nobody knows. The Senior class sympathizes deeply with Miss Cummings in the recent death of her brother. “L----s, arc you a Senior?” “No’m.” “Well, what arc you?” “I d’ know.” The Senior class extends its good wishes to Miss Newhall, formerly instructor in the French department. Miss Newhall was married Novem- ber 5 to J. E. Plympton, of Walpole. It is noticed with regret that Preston is becoming bald. He thinks too much; such men are dan- gerous. Class Editor, Ernest W. Chapin The usual remark about our being upper class- men is now apropos, of course. As such we really ought to have more dignity and serious purpose than is apparent in some cases. Now we begin to realize that in two short years we will be scattered and gone. This fact, brought to our attention so often as it is, should unite us in a closer bond of sympathy and fraternal concord. Speaking of sympathy, that's what the Tech- nology aspirants appreciate when they regard the relentless “six-straight” programmes. Cheer up! The worst is yet to come. “A Rose among thorns” is Miss G----------in IV.- III. Geom. 2. It is not yet too late to welcome those who have joined us this year. We always regret to lose any of our number, but wish them success wherever they have gone. Why does Kir------- frequent the western end of the second floor hall so much? Remember that quotation about our heart being where our treasure is. Results of the much-delayed class election: President. Percy E. Kirkpatrick: vice-president, Harry R. Cheetham : secretary, Miss Eleanor Dun- ning; treasurer, D. Austin Palmer. Elocution Teacher: “When the lips are pressed together and the breath exoloded, what is the re- suit?” Miss (Oh. well, never mind): “A kiss.” (For she’s had experience.) Congratulations to Cheetham on his election as assistant football manager. Why shouldn’t the writers of '09 appear in force this year? Really, it’s very simple to write. If there is no dictionary handy, try Virgil's way: Fill a hat with assorted words and phrases, shake 'em up, and draw.
