12 THE. S. H. 5. AUTHENTIC 1909 The offcers of the Class of 09 are as follows : Pres., Ivy Gilbert. Vice Pres-, Leo Corcoran. Secretary, George Leach. Treasurer, Edna Leach. 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. Ninth Grade Miss G. “What mineral is most abundant there?” Miss Blake. “Fish.” Mr. B-t-h-l-er. “Please may I have some per- mission to get a book?” “Pay more attention to your lessons, Miss B.” Please give Mr. R. a voice mute. It is always hot enough for the windows to be opened in room three just at noon time. Military Notes Six full squads turned out on Memorial Day to act as escort to the G. A.

14 THE. 5. H. S. AUTHENTIC Webster Debating Society The annual election of the Webster Debating Society was held June 6, and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : Pres., Clyde R. Perry. Vice Pres., John Dannahy. Sec., Arthur Waite. Treas., William H. Murphy. The past year has been one of the most suc- cessful in the history of the Society, and it is to be hoped that the coining year will show no decline. We regret to state that by graduation we lose live of our best members: Messrs. W. McHale, Hoey, Martin, Hines and Sherman. When school begins in September we shall need seven new members to till the membership list and until new members are admitted the Society will contain only juniors and sophomores. We should like very much to see some enterprising freshmen as members as it is only by beginning early that one can hope for any great advantage. Do not be alarmed, because it requires a unanimous vote of the Society to become a member, but make application early. Application blanks may lie obtained from the secretary or members. ELxchange Notes In reading over the various exchanges we notice that there are more short stories than we seem able to obtain. The Aegis and Phillips High School Review lead in this respect this month; Aunt Hilda’s story in the latter being especially commendable. Surely there are some members of this school who could write interesting stories for this paper. Write them up during vacation, and when school opens in September show us the results. Where is your pride, your school spirit? Shall we be behind other schools in making our paper a “howl- ing success?” Stir yourselves and help us next September. The supporters of the Legends seem to be of a poetic turn of mind. Their April number is exceedingly interesting, while many of the ex- changes are dry, to say the least. Since this is the last “Authentic” of the term, let everyone aid in advancing it next year. James A.
