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.

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.)

(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.
