SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «5 In soft and bubbling spray, the home of elf and fay, you drink your fill of aqua as you bid the bugs ‘Good-day.' At times you may go dry until the days slip by. for here and there they’re waiting still the new faucets to try.” That being about all the poetry that can be ex- pected of a subject so new. unadorned prose is necessary in further discussing the new drinking fountains that have been installed in the school, in compliance with a state law prohibiting ::ic use of pub’ic drinking cups. As you stand by. you can see that many arc new at the game, and have to take a few trials to get the hang of it. For the benefit of those who would learn, here is a suggestion:— Hand your books, lunch, or other cargo to some one who looks honest and trustworthy, bend your body forward from the waist, incline your head as though acknowledging a bow from the emperor of China, and aim your mouth for the up-gurgling stream. Don't shut your eyes, as you then stand a show of missing what you're after and getting it in the collar. Drink heartily —it’s on the city. Yes. Lamont is still laughing. According to one of Miss II—r—ng—n’s trans- lations. Venus, her eyes gleaming with tears, said to Jupiter: “Oh. you!” The Epsilon Epsilon Club resumed its meetings September 30. with the addition of two new mem- bers, Miss Mildred Smith and Miss Dorothy Cragin. E’er long some of us will be singing:— Any little book that is not a physics book Is the right little book for me.” A few male lodgers are desired in Room 28. The boys are so few that they arc lonesome. A certain teacher complains that some of 11s do not articulate our words. Quite right. Me- thinks it may come to this:— Liza Grape men allry mindus Weaken maka Liza Rhine, Andy parting Lee 1 . Hindus Footprin' Jhonny san'so’time.-” Lamont smiles louder than ever. Eureka! Evpijna! (aorist?) T3 Stanley V. Lane, Class Editor. Ellsworth T. Simpson, Assistant. When Gi—is is in Room 11 he talks German to all his lady friends. Field got out the wrong side of the bed one morning, ami caught his toe in the sheet,- not nly that, but he was late to school and got five ha!‘-hours. C akley is the Daring Swede and ( illis i- Rat- tling Xc!s n. and they have three rounds between each i eriod. with Miss Lan Iman as timekeeper. Field is playing that he is Miss Savage. A class meeting was held recently, and class officers were elected as follows: President. Mfred McAlpine secretary and treasurer. Miss Isabel Whiting. Teacher: What class of people take the least vacations?” West: School teachers. Wilson, the Greek expert. That boy Pearson. Teacher: Miss Coker, what is the importance of moonlight in this passage?” Miss Coker: So many things happen in the moonlight. We all wonder what she meant. T4 Gordon Mitchell, Class Editor. Walter W. Denney. Assistant. Down the street you sec them run. Quickly gathering, one by one. Girls and boys from everywhere, 'Fill the people fairly stare. Why, what’s all this great commotion? What means all this hurrying throng? It is just the Latin freshmen Marching in. two hundred strong. On they rush, and take possession Of the rooms away up high : And they make a fine impression, 'Cause the teachers know they’ll try. The freshman editor makes his bow to the school, and is sorry that he can’t do much more this month. You see. he is a very young fresh- man editor, only two days old when this paper went to press. So he hopes that his short- comings may be forgiven him this time. He makes another bow to his class. It is a fine class: there’s no question but that he can write 1914 after his name. It’s a big class,— pretty nearly 200. It seems to be so big that they had to cut it in two. About the hours—well. [Latin Notes continu'd on page ]

Show some KLASS by passing in notes. The representatives of our class on the gridiron are: Pitman. Ruff, Libbey. and Martell. Xugcnt claims that he isn’t a spread eagle. Lord Byron as ever with his cute little tee-hee laugh. M3 G. Carlton Wiswell, Class Editor. Edward Kcnneson, Assistant. Well, sophomores, here we are again! Now for a good year’s work! What we want is a good column. Here is a good chance for you to show your class spirit by handing in notes to the editor.

Chauncey Cos- grove: vice-president, Raymond Chaffee: secre- tary. Eric Johnson; treasurer, Seward Nichols; editor. Carlton Wiswell; assistant. Edward Ken- neson. We are well represented this year bv having Somerville's star fullback in our class. Here’s wishing “Dinger good luck. We have a large class this year. Let us en- deavor to keep it so. How do you like the new hours? Seems funny not to go to Harry's to spend our pennies at recess. )light to have good lessons when you have all the alteinoon to study. Fewer study periods in school means more outside work. That’s what S------- says. Why is it that Flaherty's always singing I nder the Yum Yum Tree”? Patronize all the football games. Some grade to Somerville’s victories so far. Teacher (to a scholar in physics): “When you exert force on a trunk at rest, does it not offer a great deal of resistance? Pupil (innocently): “Not if it is on casters.” 14 The freshman class has not elected a class editor as yet. therefore the freshmen have no notes this month. Better luck next time. PM 1.
