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.
