Porto Rico, district court, died in San Juan June 15. Mr. Gill was born in Somerville February 13, 1S70, and his early edu- cation was obtained in this city.

He was graduated from the Harvard Law School in 1X91. and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. and for four years en- gaged in legal work.

Mr. Gill was appointed assistant secretary of Porto Rico. In this capacity he remained three years, rendering invaluable aid to the gov- ernor. When the news of Judge Gill’s death was announced by the honorable judge. Mr. Cordove Davila, the court immediately adjourned its ses- sions until the following Monday. All over the city demonstrations of grief were seen, for Judge Gill had won the respect and love, not only of his employees and friends, but even of those whom he had sentenced to jail, for though inflexible in duty, the accused were regarded with pity and compassion. The body of Judge Gill lay in state at the Military hospital until it was sent to the United States.

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.
