Not to Be Caught Alice, trying to make an impression: Two characters of history I always admired are Napoleon and Bonaparte. Joe: Well, aren't they synony- mous? Alice: Napoleon was always more synonymous than Bonaparte. O 0 Vowels We are little airy creatures, All of different voice and features g One of us in glass is set, One of us you'll find in jet. T'other you may see in tin, And the fourth a box within.

Patient: Yes, but the dog that bit me didn't. O O The Literalist! The small boy had fallen into the stream, but had been rescued. How did you come to fall in? asked a bystander. I didn't come to fall in, the boy explained, I came to fish. O O Overdoing It Cup o' tea, weak, said a customer at a London oflice stall. When the concoction was brought to him, he eyed it cynically. Well, what's wrong with it? You said weak, didn't you? Weak, yes, was the reply, but not 'elplessf' V Just Fun Arthur Albertelli, Humor Editor Had a Silent Horn Anything the matter with the car? Well, there's only one part of it that doesn't make a noise, and that's the horn. 0 0 A Ready Reckoner If there were four flies on a table and I killed one, how many would be left '! inquired the teacher.

The young sales- woman gave him one to try, and he covered several sheets of paper with the words, Tempus Fugit. The saleswoman offered him another pen.

After getting my hat and coat from the hat-check girl, Anna Cutts, I hailed a taxi driven by John Di Maso. After exchanging a few words of greeting, he proceeded to tell me more about my classmates of the Southern. As we passed a well-known news- paper otlice, he informed me that Nellie Bokarvitch and Ruth Cooke had charge of the sports column in which there were many descriptions and accounts. Also, Mary Jouvela- kas and Sophie Sermos, two reporters, had proved courageous in getting sev- eral front page stories in the midst of many dangers. While passing a well known cab- eret, owned by Thomas Federico, I was told by my driver that he was doing rather well, and had engaged the famous orchestra leader, Charles Cabral, with his popular Yankees Some of the band were: Joseph Picardi, Carl Patalano, and Charles Gondola, accompanied by Annie Hay, the singer, and Dorothy Scappi, the Spanish dancer. Reaching my desti- nation, the airport, I was greeted by Irene Duff and Helen Pierce, two air hostesses, who helped me on my plane, which was piloted by William Naples. I Hew away from the city happy in the thought that I had met my class- mates of '35. o o Class Prophecy of III-11 CContinued from Page 295 Scotti extracting a tooth for Mafalda Regina, a patient in the hospital. We came to a beautiful new art museum designed by the architects, Salvatore Di Tucci and George Smith. Here George Di Franco, the superin- tendent, showed us around. Among the famous pictures was The Age of Ignorance, represented by a trail of pupils entering school and painted by Mary Di Lello. Next, we came to a colony of authors. Chester Marcotti and Cosmo Macero, two prominent authors, had just completed the year's best seller, Best Ways to Live and Save Energy. Upon leaving the author's colony, we passed a music studio. Someone was rendering a solo, O Happy Days. As the last notes of O Happy Days rang in my ears, I awoke feel- ing glad that our happy days had not yet ended, for I hope that I may truly prophesy many more happy years for the class of '35. o o Class Prophecy of III-9 fContinued from Page 255 leader was Isabelle Raymond because of the swing and rhythm of it. The voice of the announcer pro- claimed the network signature and the Rambling Rhymestern picked up the program from a local station, and behold it was another Southernite, Sophie Slubenuck. Feeling that our evening was com- plete, Mary and Elizabeth departed, and I fell into a soft, sound sleep. 0 0 Class Prophecy of III-2 CContinued from Page 115 title Discoveries of the Last Ten Years. In her address she tells of the marvelous experiments made by Clifford Hubbell concerning flying in the stratosphere. Later, in our adventure, we visit a peculiar construction, which we dis- cover to be the local high school. We see Mary McQuestion struggling with her class of ambitious Algebra pupils, trying to make them comprehend x as being the unknown number, also in the same school are Ethel Naiman and Mary Holden conducting their Latin and French groups, re- spectively. In the next room we look in on Eunice Felton and Phyllis Lavelli, who are now successful librarians. And now, here we are leaving our friends on Mars, preparing for our trip to Mercury in hope of renewing more of our old acquaintances of the good old Southern, class of '35, o o Oratorical Contest Southern entered its second Ora- torical contest upon the invitation of the Somerville Rotary Club. We were invited to send to their luncheon at the Hotel Woodbridge, on April 2, a pupil who would represent the school in an oratorical contest. Under the supervision of Mr. Brod- erick, the elimination contest was held, leaving the remaining pupils to compete in the finals. Tillie Nissen- baum, James Kelso, Paul Niles, Jos- eph J. McCarthy, Joseph Sousa, Rus- sel Smith, and Francis Stanger de- livered their orations at the third year assembly on March 13. The Misses Coll, Frost, and the Messrs. McGuire, McMahon, and Murray acted as judges. Tillie Nissenbaum was chosen as the best speaker to act as school representative at the Rotary Club. There,' with the representatives from the Western and Northeastern, she delivered her speech and received a handsome medal. The speech was an essay on the motto of the Rotary Club, He profits most who serves best. o o Southern Ranks High in Attendance Southern made a splendid record in attendance during the year. The sections having the highest per cents are:- III-3-98.12 III-1-96.77 II-4-95.77 II-2--95.66 I-1-96.64 I-2-95.84 o o Our Custodians Southern may well boast of attrac- tive well-kept classrooms. To our custodians, Mr. Meskill, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Donovan, and Mr. Dowd, we wish to extend our sincerest thanks for their services rendered throughout the past three years. Neat surroundings have been to us as inducements to study, and, during the winter, we were grateful for the continuous warmth each day. Class Will fContinued from Page 25 His trick of getting dues when you don't want to pay. All these we leave you on Graduation Day! Signed, III-12. sealed, published, and de- the twentieth day of June to be the last Will and Testament of of '35, in the presence of Signed, clared on the Class all concerned.
