SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 265 We ask the forgiveness of all those whose names did not appear in the Kadiatok this year on the grounds that there was not room for such a vast number. Wil-----iTs trade is thus early settled for him. Grocer (grow-sir). Isn't Xich----Is a large boy for his age? A sure cure for the blues: Come and hear Di- vision I recite English. Don’t despair. Freshmen, for we will be Sopho- mores when again we meet. It is said that some recitations are like tickets— “good for to-day only. McD----- had ten cents the other day. After recess he, had a toothache. I wonder— Wit—1—r would like further information on how to preserve the crease in his trousers. We wish to thank all those who have helped us with notes this year. We hope we have not of- fended anyone, as the notes were written in a spirit of fun and should be take in the same man- ner. First young lady: I think Ch—fif— is very c'liiet, don't you? Second young lady: Why, ves, when O'X-------- is not around to bother him. ()ur class treasurer really ought to be praised for the economical way in which he has used our money. Have you a little fairy in your home? If not, we recommend Bud. Have you seen L------r—g's newest tie? It's a daisy. I11 counting life’s worries 'Tis small things that tell. All girls with small brothers Know this very well. Why does Dick pass through 21X so slowly when he is collecting the attendance slip? Xotice the sorrowful expression on Miss-------'s face when she tries to recite a German lesson that she doesn't know. We all thank Marchant for his good work at the piano in Ethics this year. Bui-----d wants his name to appear in this issue, as it is the last chance this vear. Have you heard the latest? Creighton re- ceived a May basket on May day. Pick----g says he will take eighteen points next vear. but not anv more. So. don't be selfish, P-----. Ham-----n has been caught dreaming in Latin class. It is not thought that he was dreaming about that study. H------n—1 requests us not to put his name in the Kadiatoii again this year. Although some of our classmates will probably leave 11s. we hope to see a large number next year. Good-by and good luck to every one. —------------------- jfreneb UMavy The Senior French division of the English School presented the five-act eomedv, “Doigts de Fee. before a large audience in Unitarian hall on Friday evening.

During the intermission between the acts Brvant’s orches- tra rendered a number of sprightlv airs. At the close of the last act. the curtain rose again, and all members of the cast joined in a French song.

264 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Hello, I'll-n, what's the matter?” I’ve got a splinter in my hand. How did you do it? 1 just hit Qu---by on the head.” One of Weatherspoon's:— The monkey he’s a friend of mine; In fact, I’ve heard it stated That me and he, and he and me Js distantly related. Teacher: P—gr—i. if you don't study harder you will get a D. P—gr—i: I don’t think I deserve a I).’’ Teacher: “Well, maybe it will be an E, then.” A rumor went around lately that school was to be closed because some one found “scarlet fever ' in the dictionary. The later report is that the board of health fumigated the dictionary. Teacher (hard of hearing): “James, what’s that in your mouth? James: My tongue. Teacher: Put it in the basket immediately. J----11, in History: Homer was a single man until a German claimed that he was a number of men.” The class editor takes this opportunity of thank- ing those who have contributed to his column, es- pecially his assistant. Miss 1’—fc: J---s, you would be a fine dancer except for two things.” J----s: “What are they?” Miss P—fc: Your feet.” One of Miss Dun—m's:— Dainty miss with golden tress Studies Latin, such a stress. Learning “disco,”—awful mess,— Wishes help, just more or less. Parting lips invite caress. Dcdiscessem ? Well, I guess. That Eus-----s is a clever fellow. Yes; what’s he doing now? He’s teaching silkworms how to sing cocoon songs. The newest excuse for being late: “I stayed up last night to see the comet, thinking it would in- crease my knowledge of heavenly bodies, and I overslept this morning. First Sophomore: What’s that large noise we hear every day at recess? Second Sophomore: “Oh, that’s only Ross hurrying out for his beans.” “Izzey”—the boy chorus girl in the oratorio. I'reshic: “Some one hit me with a sandwich over at the lunch counter.” Wise Soph.: You shouldn’t have minded that, especially when every one is in such a hurry.” I'reshic: “I wouldn’t have, only it was a club sandwich.” Teacher: Did 1 hear you whisper?” Pupil: I think not”; in undertone, I hope not.” A.: How many scholars arc there in your class? 1».: About one-third of them.” A few nicknames of pupils in our bright French class:— Monsieur Useless. Lord Byron. Count Dc Brine. Petit Anderson. Grand Anderson. ’13 Thomas F. Bishop, Class Editor. G. Carlton Wiswcll, Assistant. Some of our friends have decided to come all day next year. Have you? ()’X—1 is going to apply for a job as nurse dur- ing vacation. Sa----r has a sleepy look mornings, which is caused (we presume?) by studying nights. ()wncr please call at recess for Freshman who answers to the name of W—1—n and belongs in 22 X. Pickering is studying to be an actor. Funny 21 X doesn’t appreciate him. Steves says there is a mirror at his house. No wonder his hair is always combed. Many of 11s believe that it is easier to say I don’t know” than to recite. A favorite pastime for 11s next year will be algebra. Miss R------d’s favorite song: Scuse Me, Teacher.” Teacher: Does anyone know why Miss Me------is not here to-day?” Unknown voice: “She’s absent.” Kel—r says he knows more about algebra than he used to, anyway. The cards will come out soon F'or the last time this year. But shall we be Freshmen or Sophomores next vear ?
