SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 23 The class football team, with Harding as acting captain, is meeting with poor luck, hardly enough candidates reporting to make one team. Besides the captain, the most promising candidates are: Durning, Brigham, Richter, McLellan. Dickson, Hession, and Dooling. Hubbard and Geddes are showing up well. A few new men have not had much chance, but Harding expects to develop a good representation of the Sophomore class. A new revelation: Caesar has failed to return to consciousness after one period in 29 Y. Not an ablative of separation—Miss Wh—t— h—sc and that everlasting smile. THEATRICAL NOTES. H—d—d—n is now playing in his own stock company in Coleman’s new production of The Funny Little Dutchman. Excellence guaran- teed. Miss S—th is now starring in the popular play, “The Merry Widow.” If M—r—s—n doesn’t brace up pretty quick he’ll be a Soph-no-more. It may not be the worst thing if you have done your best, but it's humiliating to have to admit that the best you could do was to fail. Try again! Miss N—g—e’s hair was to blame for three almost tardy pupils. Room 20 E requests some one to please tell M—d to get rid of that silly grin. Miss W—1—s. the air-woman. She has suc- cessfully flown as high as the third floor. Give us class pride our president says, Class spirit, class loyalty, too, While in our faces class colors he'd flaunt, But in truth 'tis class notes we want. It is suggested that a new geometry book be compiled which will suit II—dg—u and other smart pupils. We nominate W—1—y as author. Is the motion seconded? We are well represented on the gridiron by Wiley, who is showing up well: also by Hall, Forbes, Rubenstein, and Big Tim ’ 1915 Greetings, class of 3915. Let us all help to make this class column the best of all. W e are the largest class that ever entered the Somerville High School. Our class is well represented on the gridiron this fall. K—11—k and B1—nch—rd, two of our most popular classmates, are undoubtedly ladies’ men. They arc seldom seen without fair companions. Remember, Freshmen, that we share our desks with upper classmen. The personal property and persons of these people are always to be held in great respect. Miss P—rr—n of 27 W has acquired the habit of gazing at some of the Senior boys. The Seniors hope that she will soon recover from this Fresh m an-1 i kc a ff cc t a t i on. The recipes of the Freshman cooking class fur- nish great entertainment to the Seniors who sit in 27 W. It is reported that Miss J—ns—n is an authority- on poached egg. eep off the grass ! ! ! Remember to hand in all the class notes you can. It is utterly impossible for the editor and his assistants to cover our whole class. Co- operation is the thing. We wonder why Gillis was anxious to find out who the teachers were who were to watch us go- ing home. It is a long walk to Powder House and back,, isn't it, Baxter? III. J is becoming so very Frenchy that we fear they will soon forget their American slang. Gillis wishes to announce, not his wedding, but his history mark, which was A. Some class to our new athletic field! At the close of periods the annex could be com- pared to the subway at rush hours. The basses of the Junior class are very scarce. Nuf ccd. In case of fire, first bov out save the door mat. The Juniors are conspicuous on account of the number of books they take home. Hillson, the lion tamer, gave a side show in 12 E, but as the lion was absent he had to substi- tute a mouse. It is hard luck when a fellow has had a shoe taken away, isn’t it, Davis? Miss Field has the reputation of being a great eatcr.

22 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1913 We arc well represented this year on the grid- iron by having Captain Garland and other “S” men in our class. Bullard is right there with the swell socks. We enjoy the music very much this year. Two years has went. The third be here. The fourth not yet. But let each one fear Lest he talk like this At the end of that year. I)—rdis translating Trench: ’’All our teachers are very pretty.” Right you are, John! Canary-bird Lipkind. the masculine, maidenish wonder. We arc well represented on the football team by Dardis, Palmer, Leland, Garland, Hopkins, and Parker. Sophomore at the Library: “Please give me Shakespeare's ’Silas Mariner ” Such knowledge! Is she going, Doug? Who carries all the ink-wells away in his pockets? Flaherty is the same fellow. Where you see him you see the ladies. A flash of light, then Kelly goes flying by. How do you like the new 3—1 scheme? Shea still has the six of them. We miss seeing some of the old faces. Kelly says lie is going to buy some hair dye. There's a reason. O'Xeil says he leads his class this year. In what. Jim? Wonders will never cease! Neither of the Bradley brothers has been tardy as yet. And Dardis! Jim Dowd is the same whirlwind yet. And Coogan still attracts attention. Looney is growing (?) Davis! At the approach of the knights the noise dis- appeared.” Where did it go, Barlow? X—n—le says that he has seen a tour-foot yard- stick. First Pupil: “How is it that B—w gets home from school so quickly?” Second Pupil: Oh. he goes out to the top of the hill, falls down, and there he is! Heard in French:— Teacher: Present indicative of 'avoir.' Gar- land.” Garland: Er-cr-cr,” etc. Miss Streb is in ecstacy over the consolidation of the schools, for now she has the opportunity of gazing into the mirrors in both wings. Gillis, Davis, Baxter, the original speed-bovs! Nothin’1 to it. Trum SHea LucianO GilliS McKEnna Baxter SimpsQn Sharkey Scannell 1914 We are no longer puny Freshmen, but repre- sent the more learned class of Sophomores. Let each one strive to maintain a mark that will give him a worthv position as a member of the class of 1914. Some one’s lonesome in 29 E. Why does Miss S—i—g refuse to change her library period? Hodgdon’s masterpiece—a new. complete edi- tion of The Ancient Mariner. On sale at lead- ing booksellers'. Who mentioned suffragettes in Room 33 E? Mr. Chairman seemed a bit awkward at first for Flab—vc. but all obstacles have been overcome. Tis such a relief in 28 E when Miss W—tell—re is having a library period. Be sure to get the Radiatok each month. The Sophomore column will be the equal of any yet produced, and if possible the edition will make it better. Don't fail to secure a copy each month.
