20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR In Business Practice:— Teacher, to Dewitt: “How did you get your answer?” J)e—tt: I didn’t get it.” All: “Ha, ha!” Teacher: “That is a pretty easy way to get it.” Mr. Loring delights to give Davis special in- struction in Algebra. Adam, of 11-E, gets tongue-tied when he tries to twist his tongue around some of those long verbs in Latin. Who is the girl in 17-W. Turner? Come one. come all. and see the heavenly twins of 11-E. Cole and Colburn. They are the brainy boys just the same. The headless statue in 11-E is causing much attention from the newcomers. Who is she? One day I hired a woman to do house-cleaning. She went upstairs and turned on the steam. Where’s the joke? There isn't any. The Radiator. 191(3 313 Class Editor, John Chequer. Assistant. Arnold Murray. Mu—y, the rash and reckless Freshman, has been appointed chaplain of a brigade in this city. Will wonders never cease? We are glad to know that Miss McNish has recovered her health, and is able to resume her studies. We received a very enthusiastic and high- spirited poem from a member of our class. We are glad to say that we cannot publish it all. even though it would fill this entire column. However, we will give two lines to illustrate its nature. The lines arc as follows:— () beautiful and feathered Nightingale. Why dost thou warble?” P. S.—We arc glad to say that the owner of the manuscript didn’t sign his name. The Freshman team made a creditable showing this week. May they keep up their good work. Teacher (in English): “Give me a sentence con- taining the word 'Homer.'” (Meaning the poet.) O—c—1: “He hit the ball, but it wasn't a homer. 5c X I0c-{-25c= Radiator. “Attempted Murder”: Davis threatens the life of a fellow schoolmate with a file in room 6-E. Heard in Latin: BonI, bom, boni. (Don’t say anything, he's only describing himself.) Seen on a Freshman paper:— Faro, king of Egypt.” (New spelling, I guess.) Miss T— to her class: Children should be seen and not heard.” Teacher, to a little boy swinging back and forth in his chair: “R—d, you are not so old as to need a rocking-chair. Some of you Freshmen are too big to pose as infants. Freshman after writing test says to the teacher: Oh. say. do you want these papers?” --— Calenbav September 7.—A few unfortunates entered the High School buildings for the purpose of taking examinations. We hope that all were successful in passing off their respective failures. September !».—'Hie school doors opened at 7.45, but the crowd did not come early to avoid the rush.

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. If you wish to subscribe please put your name on the list in your room, and pay seventy-five cents (75c.) to your teacher. Radiator copies may be had by buying one every month from the fellow in the hall at loc a copy. But by subscribing you save thirty cents. Ten cents a copy for eight copies and twenty-five cents for the June special number makes one dollar and five cents. 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.
