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?

Waiter (to diner whom lie has pestered for ten minutes): Is there anything else 1 can get you, sir? Diner (impatiently): Yes. get out. Watch the Class of 1916-B! On track, grid- iron, and let us fondly hope—in the Radiator. French translation: The face of the young girl was covered with skin and wrinkles. We have to again raise that terrifying, ghastly, uneannv, dispairing, and thrilling cry of MORE NOTES. Classmates: Now is the time to begin patroniz- ing our school bank. Although started late last year it was a success. We want it to be a bigger and better success this year. Remember the old adage, Take care of the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves.” 'Flic Class of ’18-1» is welcome. In III Eng. I», Harding was asked to explain who the 15. C.’s were but answered that it can’t be done. What was that funny noise in music? Oh, nothing, Sid West was trying to sing bass. In III Eng. i‘». Miss Hood said that the house will be let until it expires.” 'I'he Class of 191(5-1» is well represented on the gridiron by Murphy. Elliott, Shcpardson, Laxter. Travers. Hayden, Pratt, Riley. Harding, and Giroux. P.arnum Bailey aren’t in it with the fun Div- ision 15 has in first-year French. Where you hear them:— Every Bricklayer's Daughter —H. Whittaker. Tango is the Dance for Me —D. Mersey. I Love the Ladies”—R. Elliott. Fiddle Up, Fiddle Up —R. Cook. Have you noticed how prettily some of our new teachers blush? Division 1» was quite surprised to learn on Sep- tember 30, that they had such an intelligent cat” in the division. Is it not so, Elliott? M-----n who is studying to be a doctor, has dropped Latin as he claims that all he needs to become a doctor is patients (patience.) THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN Chipman: This French lesson of five pages is too short. Can't you give us five more? Meskill: The mark you gave me in English is too much. Please change it from A to C. McKay: Can’t I stay after school for three hours and do a few lessons in advance? The Class: Here are ten pages of notes for the Radiator. Fletcher: I have too many study periods. May I take up Latin and German?” It has been noticed by many that Eaton is now a member of the firm of Boyle Brothers. Many divisions have adopted the motto D. T. D.” (Don’t talk. Do!) This motto might easily refer to those who are continually talking about handing in notes, but never do! Not only notes are desired this year, but also stories. If von have a good one hand it in to the editor. We want this year to be the best in the annuals of the Radiator. Give us your support! How many editions of college French have you issued, Chipman? Last year we had a goodly number on the track team. Make it more this year! Most pupils mean well, and intend to pass in notes. However, they never reach the Editor. M—k—1: Why do they c::ll a dentist’s room a dental parlor?” J—n—m: Dental parlor is only a polite name for ‘drawing’ room isn’t it?” We arc glad to learn that Lamont has recovered from the illness which kept him out of the school the latter part of last year, and is able to return to his studies.
