10 THE 5. H. S. 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? G. W. Nickerson, M.D. OFFICE HOURS 3 to 4 and 7 to 8 55 Central Street Stoneham Miss Wade tells ns that we are the most fool- ish class in English that she ever met. Why not try and do better? 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....

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 !

THE S. H. S. AUTHENTIC 1908 As vve come to the close of our second year of High School life, we begin to realize that “tempos fugit.” We think that the reason that we have not proved record breakers in all the studies of our Sophomore year, is because we were handicapped by that “speed limit.” Miss Wade, dictating some sentences to the French class. “I want every girl — ” A voice from the back of the room. (Ben’s of course). “So do I.” It was with much regret that we learned that Sleeper had decided to leave school, having accept- ed a position with ,T. B. Sanborn. We were depending upon Warren to win more honors for the glory of ’08, Geometry I, First Division. “Mr. Emerson, aren’t similar triangles equal?” Mr. E., elucidating. “Well, Ralph, a sheep is an animal and a horse is an animal?” Ralph. “Yes sir.” Mr. E. “Then they are similar. But are they equal?” Ralph. “But can’t you superpose one upon the other?” Mr. E. “Yes, but they wont coincide.” If any of the Seniors are contemplating writ- ing a book, as was suggested in the last issue of the “Autiihktic.” we would recommend that they secure the services of our class artist, E. Gray. His illustration of “Platonic Friendship lias only to he seen to be appreciated. May 18, 190(1, we held a social in G. A. R. hall. The class was well represented, and Misses Sherman and Turner acted as chaperones. The last social of the year was held at the home of Miss Nevins, June 14. It was a very enjoyable occasion and we separated at a late hour. “Cave canem.” “A wreath of ears” was the rather amusing translation given bv Miss W. for the phrase, “une trentaine d’oreilles.” According to Hnrld’s unabridged, “defatigatio” — “fatigueness.” The year has passed all too quickly. We should be sorry that our Sophomore days were over but for the fact that we have finished physics.
