He—“Do you think you rule the universe?” She—“No; but 1 rule the first letter in it.” Smart Child—“I know when the world will end and my teacher don’t.” “When? Who told you?” Smart Child—“Mother said it would end when children stopped asking questions that nobody could answer.” Emerson—“Teacher, can you get punished for things you don’t do?” Teacher—“No; why?” Emerson—“Well, I didn’t do any home work.” Instructor — “It would have been better to write ‘twelve hundred’ instead of ‘one thousand and two hundred’ in your theme.” M r-1—“But it would have been three words short—you said to have a hundred words.” Too bad that we can’t have four or five class presidents, editors, etc., to satisfy every one in our class. 1922 Freshmen: We are glad to welcome you to our school.

20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1919 Kkxdall Reed, Editor Stearns Wiiitney, Assistant Editor As the hostilities of warfare have ceased, let us not forget our patriotic duties are to go on. Now is the time to carry out our plan of yast year’s “Patriotic Association.” With a school of approximately 1.100 new stu- dents, it is our duty as seniors to put forth an example which shall he held high in the minds of our under-classmen. It was a bad day for the Kaiser when Columbus discovered America.—Exchange. In order to accomplish these results, it is nec- essary for every individual member of our class to rally to the cause with his or her untiring efforts. (“Pull together, 1919.”) “Society finds it level in a Boston Elevated car, doesn’t it?” “Well, yes ; it shows how many people in good standing are merely hangers-on.” Iyet’s establish a class this year that shall be remembered by our followers as a class of ideal students. Ilis Mother—“I heard a noise very late when you came in.” He—“Was it the night falling?” His Mother—“No; it was the day breaking.” Teacher—“Name five zones.” Up-to-Date Pupil — “Temperate, intemperate, war, freeze, and o.” Last summer a baseball game was played near here. In the ninth inning the first man up was evidently of East Indian origin; as he grasped the bat, he exclaimed, “Allah, give thou me strength to make a hit.” He struck out. The next batsman was Irish. He spat on his bat and exclaimed, “You know me, Al.” He made a home run. 1920 Murray, Editor James Classmates, remember we are now Juniors, and we should take upon ourselves a little more re- sponsibility than in the past. You ought to feel it your duty to help your class in any way you can- Juniors! Have you subscribed to the Athletic Association yet? Back up the football team.

Best wishes for success, boys! East Building, we would like to hear from you this year. To the Latin Department; Giveit tu em gudant plenti, Soc et tu em gudant strong.

The football season is here. The team, led by Cap. Treat, is backed by last season’s steady play- ers. Stevens. Paasche, Jack Reardon and Patten. Although the lack of candidates was disappoint- ing to Coach O’Donnell, still a remarkable team has been formed. The epidemic was a slight set- back but the boys are now there with more pluck and pep than ever. This is the time the boys need your support; show them you are there strong and it will make them fight harder for the Red and Blue. All together now and back your team. Somerville, 34; Battery Wharf, 0 Somerville met its first opponent, October 20, at Somerville Field, when she vanquished a naval eleven from Battery Wharf by the score of 34 to 0. The plays were few in number, but were carried off with unusual snap. Dowd, playing full back, made several noticeable plays and Capt. Treat fitted well into his new position at tackle. Somerville’s first score was the result of a 35- yard end run by Dowd, followed by Donaldson going over in a straight line plunge. Somerville then kicked off, regained the ball on downs, and Tom Reardon romped over for the second score. The third score was a long run by Dowd for a touchdown. The fourth score was made possible by a 20-yard run by Patten and a forward pass to Cook. Tom Reardon then pushed the ball over. Dowd made the final touchdown after steady progress down the field.

Somerville Masters Malden Somerville started its first league game by de- feating Dave Morey’s team IS to 0. Although the score would indicate that Malden was boldly out- classed, such was not the case. The game was fea- tured by hard, clean and interesting football from the kickoff to the whistle. Straight football was used for the most part by both teams, for end runs and forward passes met with little success. Both elevens tackled hard and low and seldom did a player get away Patten, Treat, Tom Rear- don. Paasche and Stevens played fine football for Somerville, while in Malden’s lineup Loud and Hopkins were much in evidence.
