All others free. Teacher: “Answer as I call your name.” “ I rad ley ?’ 1 ’resent.” “Bradv?” “Here.” “Mitchell?” ------- Xo audible reply. Teacher, facetiously: l Mitchell present mentally, bodily------? ’ Mitchell: Xo. sir. Physically. Where did Hoppy get that collar? Hop—ns war cry: “They all pick on me!” Irrepressible, untamable, hopeless. (Kelley as the teachers see him.) Studious, retiring, bashful. (Kelley as he sees himself.) Oli. yes! liar—w had seen “Macbeth.” Where? lie wasn’t sure, but he thought it was at Waldron's. Who says they never come back? Bullard did, and even condescended to sit down and sing with us. GEMS FROM EXFAXTS TRES BRILLANTS (Collected in three minutes.) “Teacher. I haven’t any pen! Please may 1 have a pen point? “Oh, can’t we write in pencil! “There isn't any ink here!” “Hey! who's got a blotter?” “What's the third question?----no, no, I mean the fourth?” Where’ll I put my name?” I don’t know what to write.” Xotice.—All jokes handed to the editors should be written on tissue paper, so that we may be able to see through them.—Ex. 1014 Class Editor, Clinton Carvell. Assistants ) Justin Martell, ( Thomas Forbes. Slim acted as the peacemaker in a fight between the invincible “Jimmy Hyde and Eagle beak” (Harry) Robertson. Do thy duty. Slim! Why doth Alec wear that perplexed look on his usually shining countenance? Good luck to the Junior Team. We would have a most excellent column in the Kadiatom if everybody would hand in at least two notes during the school year. We advise that the Misses McCuen and lien- son have separate divisions. We would advise that more 75c pieces come in. ()ur class has much school spirit in the gridiron representatives, as Hall. Wiley. Robertson. Ander- son, Spiers, McAulcv, and Forbes are out. “Patronize our advertisers. Those of you who can't dance remember this, as this year we have our first class social, namely, the Junior Dance. Why do the girls in 12E stay in at the short recess? There is a reason. Ask Ry—n how to obtain a wide knowledge of Latin—quickly. Ye oldc feete ballc players have reported to ye juniore coache for ye practice. Some teeme. Harding was recently heard singing to his French and German books. Examination proved the song to be When I get you alone to-night. (Put he didn’t. Harding says lie’s no express wagon). The Juniors have organized the heaviest, fastest class football team seen in the school for some time. Watch ’em. Schedule K. or the Missing Link, is a pretty important question to Starbird at present, as he wants the price on wool to come down so that he can buy a new winter suit. (He only takes twelve yards. The little dear!) HOW SOME OF US GOT TO BE JUNIORS. Glenn acted natural and easily slid along with the rest of the girls. Martell got by. for several reasons, but exami- nation shows that either he overslid the base or he’s trying to kill two stones with one bird. Flahivc was pushed along in spite of his efforts to remain a Sophomore. We believe the older Miss Davis easily got bv on her looks. The other one gets by anyway. Jones was raving at the time and couldn’t be held back, as there was no strait-jacket avail- able. We all like Wilkinson in spite of his goodness. Moore still claims that he isn’t the only un- educated freak in Circus Div. B. Hirshon can’t help it. He was born that way. II—llis and Br—gh—m claim the Tech course is a cinch—now they’ve dropped German. Oh, you ten study periods. Get to it. you Juniors, and make that T? eleven.

Why. if I couldn’t play football I’d just naturally pine away, and my studies would fall off----” Blondy: Well, ‘Dinger.’ there’s some consola- tion. They wouldn’t have far to fall. (Notice.—Mr. Parmer is slowly convalescing.) Seniors! Does it seem possible that you were ever Freshmen?” It would be a wise plan if some of the Senior fellows who ride to school daily joined the Girls’ Outing Club.” If you want to make the Senior column the best in the Radiator hand in notes and set a standard for the other classes. Teacher: “What’s that young gentleman’s name up in the corner?” Young gentleman: I don't know.

How about that?

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 A school paper is a great invention. The staff get all the fame; The printer gets the money, The editor the blame. —Ex. “How are you doing in vour lessons?” “Demere. “What does that mean? Behind in French.”—Ex. Pa heard him give the High school yell. For joy he could not speak; He murmured, Mother, listen To our Arthur talking Greek!” —Ex. 1915=21 Class Editor, Myrton F. Evans. Heard in 16E:— First Pupil: “Say, what do we have in English to-morrow?” Second (absent-mindedly): History, 1 guess.” Our esteemed classmate, The Jinx, is en- livening his career by taking piano lessons. Let us all wish him success in this new achievement. There certainly was some class to the cheer- leaders at the game with Tech. To their admir- able cheering during the intermission is given the credit of the large score. To the sorrow of the entire division, Frisby has retired from the Greek class, and is now taking French with the Sophomores. For sale in 3E: Jelly, 5c and 10c per glass. This jelly is made by the cooking girls, and is highly recommended by Stuart and Evans of 16E, who have purchased some. Miss Upham announces that she lost twenty pounds this summer, but the statement is doubted bv many. 1916 is hereby notified that the upper classmen have never been in the habit of supplying pencils, pens, blocks, and erasers for the Freshmen, and do not intend to begin the practice this year. Be- ware ! Freshie at the football game: Which one is Palmer? After he has been pointed out to her: “Oh, you mean the one with hair? II German C has been advised by Mr Sprague not to study. There's a reason. Attention. Classmates. If each person in our class would hand their editor one good note, think of what a fine column we would have. Please think of this. It would not take long to make up one note apiece. We would then have the best column in the school. 1015 36 Class Editor. John II. Chipman. Assistant, Helen Wiley. Owing to the late election of class editors for the class of 1915- B it was impossible to write up a column of class notes. With due apology to the class, we hope, as the saying goes, to have better luck next time. 19K5=H Class Editor, Emil R. Lawson. Freshmen, get the High school spirit and help support the Radiaioh. one of the best school magazines in the country.

The Freshman football team, captained by Jason Russell and managed by John Valente, defeated St. John’s of Cambridge. Score: 60-0. The Baker in HE will have plenty of Cole and Wood this winter. Helen, the cat, who frequently visits the cook- ing room, has been named for the class special (Div. F). Miss JI—1—e I I—lit, the special of Division F, did not have to attend school Tuesday, the eleventh period. owing to the omission .of the fifth and sixth” periods (to her great sorrow). Shall we have to drop out of the Radiator. lose our column, and be laughed at? No! Well, then, every 1916-b pupil please give the editor a little lift by bringing in some notes. Heard in Sub-1'reshy Class”: The school is getting rich on the money that we spend at the lunch counter.” Turner (illustrating Ablative of Cau c in Latin): We go to school because we have to.” The 1916-B pupils are welcome. We extend our sympathy for Mr. Murray's illness.
