16 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1928 Ernest I). Sackett The class of 1928 was first assembled Sep- tember, 1925. Mr. Avery gave us a very in- teresting talk about the school, impressing us with the thought that we must work hard and long to pass for promotion. Evidently Mr. Avery knows, judging by the results of last year’s Sophomore class. Percy F. Crowell has been inspired by the fall air, therefore:— Football season’s here at last, Practice squads are forming fast. Boys are playing in the lanes, Breaking arms and window panes. Lessons seem so dull and gray; They’d rather kick a ball all day. Oh, the joy when school lets out! When boys can play and run about! Curtice Townsend of Room 201, a little boy about five feet in height, has qualified for the finals of our School Tennis Tournament. Pretty good for a Soph, isn’t it, wise Seniors? We have the pleasure of a few should-be- Juniors. From them we learn of the perils that confront us. N. Dahl played nickel-plated notes from his sax at the Brockton Fair. Debaters, argue this one out: Resolved, that pupils studying foreign languages aloud have done more toward breaking up the home ties than cross-word puzzles and tongue-twisters. Please send your decisions to all French, Latin, Spanish and Greek teachers. Many a football player was first inspired by his successful rushes at the lunch counter. Now that we have learned our way about the Somerville High School labyrinth, we feel quite at home, and are now able to tell our Junior High School of its dangers. Extra! Reward! Extra! Two very fine broken pencils will be given to the one who will explain why the students stop so long at the back door of 201. Come see for yourself. P. S. In case of tie both contestants will be rewarded. The boy rushed, the line held, he was downed. Undaunted he rushed around right end. “One without,” he cried triumphantly as he fumbled for his nickel. The old saying is: “Give a woman her own way and she doesn’t want it.” The idea seems to be conquering the other sex now. For in- stance, a Sophomore boy pleaded for two weeks to change his course and finally his request was granted and he joined all his new classes. Two days later he returned to the office and asked if he might be changed back to his former course.
