One rainy day Mr. Emerson gave Algebra I the following problem : ‘•If there is one absent in the Senior class, two in the Junior class, and three in the Sophomore, why are there ten absent in the Freshman and nineteen in the ninth grade.” Corcoran replied that lie thought it rained too hard, anti Mr. Emerson said that was the correct solution. Mr. C. gives this sentence in English : A con- tented mind is like a fair day, a discontented mind like a rainy day. Mr. VV. gave this as an equivalent English sentence for “The English won the day.” “The English walked off with the victory.” Miss Sherman thinks Grover’s seat is capable of holding a boy his size. A new translation for the famous line “And fired the shot heard round the world” was given us bv Mr. C. It was this: “And heard the shot fired round the world.” Mr. Emeraon uses the old rule for cooking a rabbit to explain algebra problems by.

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.
