SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR tS 'll Arthur Leighton, Class Editor. Wilfred V. Chandler, Assistant. Juniors, why not begin the year right by having a 1 !•()!)-’ 10 movement for a better column? The class editors are willing to do their share, but in order to have a representative column we must have the hearty co-operation of the class. 1‘lease see that an abundance of notes find their way either to Leighton. Room 22. desk »1, or to Chandler. Room 28, desk 03. In German:— Miss V----g (translating): And the rocks set Jupiter into the sea.” Miss Wood (translating): And just then the sun went out.” Eaton: And for joy he couldn’t laugh.” We tear that Bill” E—Id has an unkind dis- position. as we have noticed him smiting the poor, abused housefly several times in Room 20. What some Juniors arc doing this year:— 1 leath—Looking happy. Rich—Learning to type-right. Bcrnson—Same as ever, only more so. Erenchy 1-'arrow—Taking German. The Big 3 —Congesting the corridors by their affectionate habit of walking arm in arm. A. Waldron—Taking chemistry and having a jolly good time generally. Dunton—Telling myths in history. Have you noticed the poetic expression on A. Waldron’s face since he donned glasses? We wish to introduce a new group of in- separable young ladies, namely. Misses I)---n, C—p—1. E—h—r. At—d. E—t—cc, and E—V .—ck. whom we shall designate as the Little in order to distinguish them from the Big 3.” A COMEDY-TRAGEDY. Scene: A Junior recitation room. A young man enters and gazes curiously about the room. Teacher: Are you a Junior?” Boy (looking bewildered): ‘‘No.” Teacher: Are you a Sophomore?” Boy: “No.” Teacher: Well, what are you?” Boy: I think I’m a Freshman.” Teacher: Where do you belong?” Boy: I don’t know.” Teacher: Hadn’t you better find out?” (Exit the Freshman.) In chemistry:— A loud report shook the laboratory, and Torrcy. with a pained expression, stood looking at the test tube which he held. Instructor: What were you doing?” Torrey: I—er—was—er—only trying to boil it.” Cutler is thinking of joining the High School Orchestra. Quite a valuable addition. Wanted in III. History A.: A little encourage- ment for Sullivan. It is noticeable how strong an attraction the windows of the Annex have for the masculine gender of Room 23. The Tech division extends a hearty welcome to their two new members. Chapman and Brackett. Too bad that Fisher's injury prevents his stay- ing out for the football team! Some of us feel so puffed up over being upper classmen that we resemble hot-air balloons. T2 Andrew I). Little, Class Editor. Chauncey Cosgrove. Assistant. We are glad to see so many of our classmates back this year. Let’s make ati effort to have a better class than last. Our old friend Bob has deserted us for the Latin School. Beware. Ereshies! Take a little advice from your elders, and learn your lesson. Be sure not to Hunk.—A Sopho- more who knows (it all). The Radiator subscriptions are coming in slowly and not very steadily this year. Every- body subscribe. B—d—es (translating Erench): An apple tree, all covered with oranges.” According to Monsieur G’o’ge. a chapeau is a chaperon, and I’enfant is an elephant. He wishes it was all as easy as that. We all know the old conundrum, why a hen crosses the street. What has that to do with a Qu’by when he meets a girl? Our class is represented on the football team by Dinger” Doane. who bids well to be a second Pep. Here’s luck to you. “Dinger.” Who is the classy boy in II. History B.? Wein- burg, of course. Don’t forget “Twisty” in the presidential elec- tion.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 TO Andrew F. Handley. Class Editor. Stuart P». !• osier. Assistant. Kali Kali’s are few and far between, but think of the KLAS! The results of our class elections: President. Prank 1.. Alicarn : vice-president. Mabel Hender- son : secretary. Eva Sprague: treasurer. Joseph S. I’ike. Jr.; editor. Andrew F. Handley: assist- ant editor. Stuart 15. Foster. We are glad to sec the Freshmen showing the proper spirit of reverence to the Seniors. More than one has fallen upstairs at the sight of us. Does it illustrate a physical or a chemical change when you break a test tube? A monetary change (.02) is illustrated when this phenomenon occurs. Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! We are Seniors now. Let’s make this the best of our four short years. Think for a moment what it is to be a Senior, a reverend and dignified Senior. Let us show the other classes that 1910 is the best that ever was or ever will be. Lots of room on the roof for study. One bright Senior says the Massachusetts char- ter was brought over in a man’s pocket. How good it seems to be studying the history of our own country rather than of Greece and Rome! Don’t you like physics. Hymen? Miss Bowler (in Latin): “Tuas glorias te debere considere.” To sit down together on your glory.” Will the successful candidates for class offices keep their alluring promises? Three days off in two. no home work, and free lunches? Cole (in IV. Latin I): Aeneas’ head was sup- ported by bonnet strings.” Miles needs fractions. Too bad they arc not taught here! For latest styles in tonsorial effects, see Mar—. Room 27. McGinn had hard work to persuade one teacher he was a Senior. What a sweet voice that young lady has! Why. that is Wilkins reciting French. Below is a list of Seniors who are preparing for college:— Marion Dondale. Boston University: Pauline Merrill. Wellesley: Ahern. Lawrence Scientific School; Golden. Harvard; Foster and Walter Jones. Massachusetts Agricultural College; Lip- shires. Smith. C. Gardner. Maxim. Wilkins. Tech; Abbot. Crispin. II. Gardner, Pike. Hunt. Tufts. Peacher: When phosphorus is burned in a closed vessel, what happens?” Miss Merrill (innocently): Does the vessel burn?” o. Pauline, the vessel rocks.” Who are those boys with the wrinkled fore- heads and that hurried, anxious look? Why. they are the fellows who take advanced math.” In solid geometry: We can prove the theorem, but we don’t believe it.” Bewildered Freshman (to a tall, imposing Senior, whom he mistakes for a teacher): Please, sir. 1 have a conflict with algebra.” Senior (keeping up the joke): Hum—well, come and see me after school in Room—er— Room o! Teacher (in physics): In order to illustrate the law of moments you might try hanging.”

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 '13 Thomas E. Bishop, Class Editor. G. Carlton Wiswcll. Assistant. Everybody try to make our Freshman class this year the best of any. I Mease follow Miss Holman’s example in giving notes to the editors. If Miss Gr----c will look forward instead of backward, she might be able to walk through the corridors without falling. Patronize the football games. Why do the scholars in the main building like to visit the Annex? Is it our class that attracts them? Why don’t the busy little boy Improve each forty minutes? Is it a girl he must annoy, ()r is he one of those smart Fellows who alwavs know more Than the rest of the fellows? Pc—s— has made himself known to the girls. They are all crazy to find out how he makes his curls. Wanted—Notes, notes, notes! Xatin iWotes Continues T3 Stanley Y. Lane. Class Editor. Ellsworth 'I'. Simpson, Assistant. Be wise. Freshmen, and show your school spirit by making this a big column with your notes. Will D—ker—an or H—n—y lend W—1—y a safety razor? Some one suggests this yell for the Sophomore class:— I want to go home, Boohoo, booha! I want to go home to nia and pa! Sophomores, Sophomores, Rah! Rah! Rah! S—e—y now, Sw—n—y ever, S—e—t now. but not forever. F—ierce lessons. L—ate hours. I ’—nexpectcd company. X—othing prepared. K—nocked understanding. Husband to the Statue of Liberty—Sh—t—ck. Rooms 32 and 34 have morning newspaper stands. From our class poet, Pat Sc—n—ell:— Small dog, Railroad track. Toot! Toot! Sausage. Always smiling—W—st. Boys, read and profit by the following:— “Do cigarettes hurt a boy’s brain?” Doctor: “Oh. no. Boys with brains don’t smoke them.” Our class should be the cleanest, as we always have a To—le with us. Why does Wr—g—t raise his hand so often? So as to increase his stature. Every class has:— A girl who giggles. A girl who tattles. A boy who knows it all. And a boy who can cut up in school. Some of the Freshman girls are leaders in the present remarkable styles of hairdressing. One of the latest favorites is that known as rough-on- rats. I’pper class girls wishing lessons in this style may apply to Miss X—r—11. R—ch—o—d owes the barber a quarter, but there is an excuse, as he is a musician. We have a rare bit in Miss We—ch. Miss U—er—i—1 and S—ea arc sick of school so quick. Miss Y—u—g has a very loud voice. ----------------------------------- treasurer's Statement, October 10,1909 Received from:— Balance on hand October 10, 1008......... $99.82 Advertisers for the year................. 334.67 Advertisers in the June issue............. 70.00 Subscriptions for the year............... 293.25 Subscriptions for the June issue......... 119.50 Cash sales (at each monthly issue)...... 179.60 $1,096.84 Paid to:— Somerville Journal Company, printing monthly issues.................... $773.85 Dobinson Engraving Company, engrav- ing plates, etc..................... 88.45 Members of staff, car fares, postage, etc., 17.11 Photographers (for staff pictures)..... 12.00 Perry Pictures Company.................... 2.00 Balance on hand October in. 1909.... 203.43 $1,096.84
