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.

Twas an artist we thought he was! We are represented on the football field by Pierce, Fisher, Bickford, Anderson. Bernson, Wellington. Eaton, and Snow. They ought to make a pretty good showing.
