Editorials With this issue we take up the publication of the “Authkntio” for the coming ' year; and already we have begun to realize some of the difficulties attendant to making the paper a success. We regret very much the necessity of soliciting adver- tisements from the Stoneham merchants. We fully realize that, their generosity has been severely taxed during the past few years, and our greatest hope is to obtain a subscription list so large that we may be independent of advertising. To the Seniors we extend our best wishes and the hope that they will succeed and prosper in whatever lines of life they enter upon. As the cup of the Middlesex Baseball League does not come to Stoneham. we are glad that the Saugus High School team is the successful one. We greatly admire the good-will, enthusiasm and school spirit shown by the Saugus students in supporting their baseball team. Surely their atten- dance at the games and the encouragement they give to the players ought to furnish an example to Stoneham. The Baseball team has not been very success- ful as far as winning games is concerned. Our weakest point seems to be in batting, and no team can be successful unless it is strong in this depart- ment of the game. However perfect the fielding may be. the game depends in a large measure upon the ability of the players to get hits. We hope that next year we may have a coach to help us in til is respect . The annual High School picnic will be held June 29, at Canobie Lake. For the last two years the picnic has been held here, and all those who were present will testify to the many enjoyments and the good time to be had. Class Notes 1906 Fredie in French — “que vous etes crees l’un pour l’antre” — “that you were crazy for each other.” Mr. F. translating German — “Meine Mutter hat’s gewolt” — “My mother’s hat’s got well.” Ttodie is very smart, as will be seen by the following : “Holt dich die Mutter Heim in die Nacht” — “You carry your mother home at night.” Our learned William said the following: “A ferment is the organization that causes fermentation.” The day after the Senior banquet, Mr. Hinds remarked in astronomy : “Say, Mr. Emerson, I never saw the moon look so funny as it did last night.” I wonder why ! Miss T. informed the physiology class that potato bugs came from seeds !

8 THE. S. H. 5. AUTHENTIC following the walks traversed by the few renowned men. All have not the same capabilities nor oppor- tunities, still each should do what he can. The results of our actions must follow us beyond the grave. They are the only things we can take with us when we die. Our deeds will be in existence when everything else is gone. Some things are eternally true. Nearly a century ago James Philip Bailey wrote, — “We live in deeds, not years, in thoughts, not breaths, In feelings not figured on a dial. We count time by heart throbs. He most lives, who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.” Fiskdkrick Luo McLaughlin. Commencement Ode Class of 1906 Words and Music by Effie Frances Brians Joy and gladness, grief and pain, Mingle in our hearts today, As we fondly recollect School days that have passed away. Patiently the seed was sown, Time will prove our garnered thought, When the harvest comes to all And we reap as we have wrought. All our childhood’s dreams are past. All our merry hours of play. We have reached the gate at last Opening to a brighter day. Strong in faith with hopeful hearts, Journeying on the heights we climb Culling laurel leaves and flowers But to weave in air sublime. Classmates, teachers, friends, farewell Hands unclasped as on we go. Future joys will ne’er efface Mem’ries we alone can know. In the years beyond our ken, Where the sunlight never dies May we hope to meet again, In the home beyond the skies. Athletic Notes D uring the greater part of the season the Baseball team has played against “hard luck,” losing many of its games by the closest of scores. The team work seems to be good, but errors at critical moments and inability to bat when hits were needed, are responsible for the losses. This is the first year for many of the players, but they are gaining experience for the coming years which, we hope, will prove more successful. Only three members of the team graduate this year, leaving six veterans for next year’s team. There is plenty of good material in the school but it is developing slowly. The need of a coach has been felt keenly this year, and it is hoped that next year it will be possible to have one. The team lost an eleven inning game to Water- own High School, and a sixteen inning league game to Saugus. Saugus also defeated us on the 17th of June, at Saugus, thereby making sure of the Middlesex League Cup. Saugus has an excep- tionally strong team this year, in contrast to for- mer years, and we are pleased that as Stoneham cannot have the cup, it is going to Saugus. One of the best games of the season was played with Reading, Stoneham winning 7 to (! The school turned out well to see the game, and the encouragement their cheers gave to the players is easily seen by the manner in which the Stoneham boys made hits in the ninth inning when three runs were needed to win the game. Manager Murphy of the football team is ar- ranging a good schedule for the coming season and has in mind a large number of candidates for the team. With Hay as captain the season ought to prove a successful one.

AUTHENTIC Mr. McL. translating French — “j’offrais mon bras a madamoiselle jusqu’ a la ferine de Gencais’’ — “I ottered iny arm to Madamoiselle as far as the Gencais farm ” Rather a long arm, wasn’t it? Especially if the farm was very far away.

L. Bellows, Jeweler Central Square, Stoneham As is their usual custom, Mr. and Mrs. Brown entertained the class of ’OG in the lunchroom June 20. Delicious ice cream and cake were served ar.d the class wholly appreciated the fact that it was delicious. We thank them very much and wish them greater success, if possible, in their work in the future. 1907 Mr. Emerson. “What way does the tail of a comet point?” Mr P-r-y. “Away from its head.” Bright, wasn’t he?

The class wishes to thank the Decorating Com- mittee, and especially its chairman, Miss Scall.v, for the work it has done. One of the little boys in our class wanted to know if Swift didn’t write fast. Miss Turner tells us that there are a lot of chestnuts in town. Wonder where she found them? Every young lady admires a well shod foot and every young man admires a fine looking shoe. Both parties can be satisfied by buying their shoes of J. B. 5anborn 305 Main Street Stoneham Mr. Emerson. “When do you see the old moon in the west after sunrise?” Mr. Estes. “I dunno, I saw it this morning.” We regret to say that Jenkins is singing with the Freshmen. But what should we expect? The Junior play, “Down in Maine,” was held in the armory May 1G, and was a grand success both socially and financially. It was said by many that it easily eclipsed any previous High School entertainment in town. We extend our sincere thanks to our instructor, Mr. Charles Harold, for his earnest labor in bringing us success. Geo. O. Bucknam ....Florist....
