SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 259 '13 Stanley V. Lane, Class Editor. Ellsworth T. Simpson, Assistant. When Miss M-------go—y is feeling kind of sour, she merely says don't know” when called upon to recite. We all sympathize. In algebra: X equals the unknown quantity; therefore x equals the number of minutes Mcr—I sleeps during study periods. Miss Lo—d says she waited nearly an hour for a car one morning recently. Do we believe her? McCray spends the whole night on his lessons. (He puts the books under his pillow.) La—ty is a poet of the first rank. His poetry is rank at any rate. We are tired of our high life. There are too many flights of stairs leading up to it. Teacher: Give the pluperfect of moneo, Mathews.” Mathews: Oh. er—er.” Teacher: That will do. Miss Lewis.” Miss Lewis: Shall I give the same? Please remove that candy from your mouth, and put vour feet in. Heard at Harry’s:— Freshman: (Jive me a little bit of everything.” Harry: What do you mean?” Freshman: Why. a chicken pie. For trio choir work apply to Pearson, Robin- son. and Phelps, of Room 35. Our chance is gone, we study now; Arc to our books devoted. We weep and erv, and wonder why We didn't get promoted. As you look back upon your books. After these classic walls you leave. Think of the lessons you might have learned, And the E’s that you did not receive. When reading these verses don’t shed tears on the Radiator, as the ink is not warranted not to run. Scanncll and Miss St. Ongc have seats in the ex- change. Watch them during a test. The editors wish to beg in this last edition of the Radiator that if any notes have hit too heavily let them be forgotten: if notes were poor and in- complete. think, one and all, how many notes you, individually, have contributed. Teacher (calling on Miss II----to recite): “Did you look in your l)ook? Miss H------: Xo. I er—er—was just go— ing to. To those in need :— If you want to be well informed, take a paper. Even a paper of pins will give you some points. May I see you home?” inquired Sharkey. Certainly. replied she. Here's a pair of field glasses.” Did you ever notice that the minutes are a great deal longer between half-past one and two than between half-past eleven and twelve? Can anyone explain the whichness of the wherefore? J stands for James (Pranagan) A rah-rah doth wear; If he ever recites. It is very rare. R is for Ralph (Slinev) With voice very loud; The most attentive Of all the crowd. W is for Williams, His first name is Fred; He alwavs is neat, And that’s enough said. Walker wants but little here below,— So he tells us o'er and o'er; Put the little that he really wants. Is just a little more. Xcver propose to a girl by letter. Whv not? ----- did it once, and she stuck the letter in a book she was reading, and then lent it to his other girl.” It is best not to mention any names and what happened. Little lines of Latin, Little lines to scan. Make a most tremendous book. And a crazy man. Dictionary words as defined by certain small people to be added to your vocabulary:— Dust—mud with the juice squeezed out. Ice—water that stayed out in the cold and went to sleep. Wakefulness—eyes all the time coming un- buttoned. A secret—something worth telling. A friend—one who won't lend money. Woman—a figure of speech.” Almost everyone’s fortune—$000,000,000.

SOM ERVI LUC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 261 ’10 Andrew F. Handley. Class Editor. Stuart I». Foster, Assistant. Arnold will be known hereafter as “guard of the push-broom.” Happy are the days that now draw near. If you were one of the “thirty let us hope you are now one of the seventy and one hundred. Juniors, do you realize that you will soon be Seniors? McCarthy says he does not care what he is prophesied as being in 1935. M—ch—t will graduate with that same old hair- cut. regardless of anything we may say. Have you seen the camera man? Gordon is still hopeful. Do we all breathe easily now? A few delinquent pictures are still floating around. The editor thanks Old Father Time that June, 1910, is almost gone. Thou waitest graduation: wait death, nor be afraid! Winn wants to know if “The Grammarian’s Fu- neral,” by Browning, was dedicated to him. “Graduate along with me. The best is yet to be.” (With apologies to Robert Browning.) Juniors, you are welcome to the duties and the trials of Seniors. Some of the Seniors are still singing. Help. Lord!” Mr. Hadley: Which did the young gentleman attend, the oratorio or the young lady?” Do you know Ethyl Alcohol and why she should be cheap? Juddy” wants to know if it would hurt him if he should touch the influence machine. In severing forever my connection with my class as class editor of the Somkkvii.i.i: Hi on School Radiator, I wish to thank every one who has helped me in trying to keep our column up to the standard. I have endeavored to do my poor best. Let us part with the best of friendly feelings, and heartv wishes for success and happiness to all Some think As You Like It is not as you like it. And he whistles the song before the duke. Mason has Bcnn ett. but is no more. Seniors, the last year in school has been the most interesting. We long looked forward to be- ing the graduating class, lmt were we happier in anticipation or in realization? Soon, alas! too soon, shall we become men and women! The associations of four years are to be broken up, and each graduate is saying to Ijiin- self: Whither? Whither?” For each of you the class editor wishes prosperity and happiness. There is wisdom summed up in the class oration, there are precepts to be followed in the class poems, but the best of all that we have to rely upon is our training. With this equipment let 11s take up our work in the world and endeavor to make it better for our having been in it. This space is left for the editor’s resigning smile. What is cash proof?” It leaks through almost everything. It was a common sight during the first half of the year to see I-----s strolling home without a single book. During the last half, however, Brick” suddenly changed, and now he may be seen any afternoon loaded down with books of all descriptions. Strange!
