SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 1915-A Class Editor. Myrton Evans, Assistant. Walter Coleman. As we are now the head of the school and also at the head of the Radiator Notes” column, show your spirit and help to make this our best term, by setting a good example and passing in a lot of notes. A few of our occupations this summer:— MacLellan—Sea Captain. Smith—I lardware Dealer. Rood—Real Estate Dealer. Carpenter—Hotel Proprietor. Sammett—Somerville Theatre Manager. Bennett—(Jarage hvner. Coleman—Newspaper Editor. Evans—Scientific Farmer. Frisbv—Man of leisure. Robinson—Expressman. Kendall—Tea and Coffee man. Rubenstcin—Storeroom Clerk. Walsh—Camper and Hero. Fiske—Chauffeur. If the girls want to be represented the next time they must show some signs of life. Three cheers for the track team and Carpen- ter!!! How many expect to graduate when February comes? Help the football team along the same way you did the baseball team, by going to the games and cheering. Oh, you cash boys of Room 2 M. When we finish our American History we shall all be historians. At last Room 204 has some desks like the rest of them. Mrs. Gilbert says that it would just suit Walsh to be the chairman of the German Class. We wonder if our examination papers are still lying. Robinson—Smith’s waste basket. By Miss Malcolmson (in English): He died on Good Friday, the day of his birth. Elwood Stewart, a former classmate, and who was universally popular, is now head messenger in the Old Colony Trust Company. George Kendall recently received a note, the contents of which we were excluded from. Very suspicious. Our candidates were all elected unanimously at the recent Senior Class elections. Not so strange when we consider that they were already elected. Coleman, the only and original playwright. For references, apply to Miss Raymond, Room 301.

Dartmouth College, and All-American star on the field, has had the candidates hard at work every week-day .afternoon. The number of men out for the team was in the vicinity of fifty, about thirty of whom arc still at it. A number of last year's men arc back including Captain Ellis, Bianchi. John and Joe Murphy. Doughty. Hayden, Baxter. Pratt. Elliott and Magno. 'Phc first real taste of football was on Tuesday, October .“ . when the picked eleven, lined up against Arlington. Somerville gained several touchdowns on their neighbors across the brook, but since it was not a scheduled game, there was no audience or referee. The Somerville line-up was as follows: Joe Murphy, r.e.: Flynn, r.t.; Bax- ter. r.g.: Cushing, c.: John Murphy, l.g.: Shepard- son. l.t.; Doughty, l.e.; Bianchi. q.b.: Pratt and Giroux, r.h.b.; Ellis and Johansen, l.h.b.; Hay- den and Thornton, f.b. 'Phe schedule of nine games, arranged by the management, is as follows:— ♦October : —Melrose at Somerville. October 1 2—Cambridge Latin at Somerville. October IT—M. I. T.. IT. at Somerville. October ‘M—Waltham at Waltham. October 1 Xewton at Somerville. ♦November T—Medford at Medford. ♦November M—Malden at Somerville. ♦November 21—Everett at Everett. November 2(5—Rindgc at Somerville. ♦Suburban League games. With the support of the whole school, who we hope have got season tickets, also the cheering, led by Pillsbury and Scanlan. we hope to get not only the football championship, but hockey and another baseball. «umes Somerville Xoscs ©peiUno Game to iDcU rose On Saturday, October :i. owing to a little hard luck in the arrangement of the schedule. Somer- ville dropped her opening game to Melrose with a score of ?- . 'Phe game was won, when Little, picking the ball from Bianchi. on a forward pass, carried it seventy-five yards for a touchdown, the only one in the game. It was a very poor day for football, and there were very few exciting minutes when the school could give their new ho! ho! ho! ho! ho! cheer. Bianchi s last year’s hard luck returned, when he tore the ligaments in his right leg by the blocking of a punt. Elliott and Fitz who replaced him. in turn, made very good showings for their first game. Phe lineup was:— S )M ERVII .LIC. M ELR( )SE. Joe Murphy, r.e l.e.. Diman Cushing, c John Murphy, l.g r.g., Chisholm Shepardson. l.t r.t.. Ross Doughty, l.e r.e.. Little Bianchi. q.b Fitz. q.b Elliott, q.b Pratt, r.h.b lohansen. r.h.b r.h.b.. Nowell Ellis, l.h.b f.b.. Phillips Hayden, f.b. Havden and Ellis get better results from the line by patting them gentlv on the back. Whv doesn’t 'Pom Scanlan get on his togs rather than learn to play a megaphone? M e expect to have a re gular Moose” Engle- horn or a Bricklcv in Keating and Thornton. Elliott and Bianchi will soon be back on the field rather than limping around on one foot. £bc Srach £cam Captain Carpenter’s cross-country team made a good showing during the halves of the Melrose game. A squad of about ten men circled the field twice, then a trip around the Reservoir at Tufts College, resulted in a win for Lannigan, and a second for French.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 18 paring of these notes, therefore this. Earl Cushing, our president, is doing fine work on the football team. It seems that we've cpiite a chorus in 1915-A. Ralph Hood has to stay with Mr. 11--------for not (?) leading it. Mae Weldon's favorite song, Along Came Rood. Smith: He may be cross-eyed, but lie's hon- est. Robinson: He may be honest, but he looks crooked. Mr. Nichols: “Cushing, give a good definition of a park.” Cushing (very much embarrassed): “Well,—cr— well—er—er—a park—a park is a place where they have band concerts. ’ (Experienced, Mr. Cushing?) Icacher: “Rood. Was that you humming? Rood (truthfully): No sir. Teacher: Stay after school tonight.” Rood: What for? Teacher: “For that you can stay two nights. Teacher: “Answer the question. Sammett: Yes, I think that’s right.” Teacher: What’s right? Sammett: I don't know.” leacher: What is the rule concerning the en- tering and leaving a room? Kendall: Leave by the nearest door. I mean leave by the middle door.” Kendall's favorite expression: “Rubber.” Frank Sullivan is now head shipper in Hand- schumacher’s Company. 1915-B C lass Editor, Elmer K. Pilsbury, Assistants, Eleanor Jones. Barbara Sawyer, Dorothy McCoy. Owing to the late election of class editors, this column is not as long as it should be. An earnest appeal is issued to all seniors to Pass In Notes, so that this year's Senior column may be the best in the history of the school. If some of the valiant young gentlemen in the Class of 1915-B would kindly present a mirror to Miss W—1—y, of Room 2J3, for her personal use. it would be greatly appreciated. Our class is well represented on the gridiron by Ellis, Murphy. Doughty, Bianchi, Magno, Flynn, and Fitz. Where are our royal rooters? If you wish to cheer, assemble at the right hand section of the grand stand and cheer. Championship cheering means a Championship team. The question in Room 213: Who spilt the red ink? Come on, S-------, own up! We all regret the sickness of our classmate. Joseph H. Morrill, who is in the hospital with ap- pendicitis. We hope that his recovery will be rapid. Teacher: “Please give a definition of irony?” Editor: “The Seniors have passed in so many notes this year that I have not been able to read them all.” In 311 (Mr. Obear out of the room):— Shea: “Say, there, what do you say?” Mr. Obear (returning): I say, get to work. Mr. Allen—the girls in IV Eng. E., enjoy their “one young man very much. Bennett: Well. I think----” Teacher: Haven't I told you a hundred times not to begin a sentence with 'Well?”’ Bennett: No'm.” Teacher: Well, I am telling you now.” • In Chemistry A, B:— Teacher: Is illuminating gas a liquid, solid, or gas?” MacSw—ncy : “Solid, c—er no liquid,—I mean gas.” Third time never fails; MacSw—ney. High School banners and pennants may be pur- chased at any time from Clayton Ellis. Room 202. Everyone should have a banner before leaving school, and why not patronize Captain Ellis? Room 202, the home of the celebrities! Presi- dent. Secretaries, Editors. Notice the literary atmosphere. (Notice also, that they remain after school frequently.) (let busy on the Boys’ Glee Club. Seniors. Mr. Hall is striving to make it a success, and needs more than anything the co-operation of all Seniors.
