SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 The Class of 1925 welcomes the incoming Sophomores, and hopes that the ensuing years will be happy and prosperous. Sophomores: Wake up to the fact that Rooms 100 and 200 do not exist for you. We should all be proud of the extreme honesty of a certain member of 110, who was heard to remark when entering his room at 9.35: “I am late.” Special for the lunch-room! High School sandwich! Sophomore filling, queer, fresh and tangy. Senior and Junior crusts. Try it. A Sophomore’s idea of hard work—To spend fifteen minutes of a period looking for a cer- tain room, to use the next ten minutes making up his mind to enter the classroom, and enter- ing to find to his dismay (?) that there is a mistake in his program. During a certain Latin period a boy who was asked to give a translation of the phrase “bonae leges caesaris,” gave the following re- ply: “The bony legs of Caesar.” We of 115 feel that we should be considered a very gamy room, inasmuch as some members have taken the habit of playing chess during the lunch recess. We considered this a rather wonderful circumstance, until some of us learned that two of the martyrs, being one night unable to go to each other’s house, played the game over the telephone—which by the way is now out of order. The first Senior assembly of music was held Thursday, September 25, 1924. Mr. Tuttle opened the assembly with the remark that the filing was an improvement over the previous assembly of the Seniors in the hall. Mr. Mc- Vey spent the rest of the time testing the boys’ voices, and from the noises which came from the stage, we are led to believe that not over three-fourths of them will ever be opera sing- ers. A bright pupil made the following remark in history: “It is very interesting to know that the Pilgrims’ compact was signed only by the male men and not by the women.” Joseph Calandrella, after devouring Dryden, Voltaire and Bernard Shaw, still seeks satire. All contributions gratefully received. Room 115 is very proud to possess a young dramatist. Miss Ruth Chambers of that room has shown marked ability in writing one-act plays. Room 115 reached the goal of 100% sub- scriptions to the Somerville High School Radi- ator three days before the official commence- ment of the drive. Room 115 seems to have more notes than any other third-year room. Can’t some of you other Seniors wake up? First Sophomore: “The school orchestra is playing better than usual today, don’t you think so?” Second Sophomore: “You dumb-bell, that is the passing bell. Don’t you hear them filing?” Heard in a history class: “They took the negroes to the West Indies, where they were converted into molasses.” Physics III-G has already completed the first difficult experiment of the year—measuring a line.
