THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Class Jotes 1923 At and After the Class Banquet Tuesday, the day after the Banquet there wasn’t much evidence of “pep” among the Senior Girls, owing to the weather and the night before. Mr. T. — I’m glad we don’t have a banquet every day in the week. D. Metchear — It isn’t the fault of the banquet, it’s the weather. Mr. T. — Well, what do you think of us poor men who have to wear a coat? D. Metchear — Oh, that’s all right Mr. T., but I have a lot of hair on my head. Walter may be small but his capacity for water and food is not so small. Tuesday morning a few honored Seniors received mail from the Yen- dome. The rest of us feel slighted. The Banquet was greatly enjoyed by the seniors, and we hope by the chap- erons; the menu was excellent, the speeches were all entertaining, espe- cially the last one given by Murphy, and these were followed by dancing until 11.00. A few of the drivers received rolls, olives, radishes, etc., and one was even presented with a chicken bone. We never knew until the banquet what a good looking bunch we are and how much Mr. Thibodeau loves us. He even admitted it. The toastmaster, Victor Duplin, pre- sided very admirably; we wonder why he didn’t take up that little remark of Murphy’s at that time? Miss Hale — What are you laughing at Murphy? Murphy — This thing in back of me (V. Duplin). In an English Intelligence Test Miss Hale required each one to give a four line quotation from any good author. Then when th e test was finished each one repeated the quotation he had giv- en. This was Tommy Phelan’s: Lives of all great crooks remind us That we should work with greatest care; Lest departing leave behind us, Foot prints on the silver ware. 1924 No socials, no class meetings and no debates, therefore, no news! Miss McP. in Chemistry — “A pound of gold weighs more than a pound of lead!” K. Rice in English — “May I get my English book, Miss Hale?” Miss Hale — “Where is it?” K. Rice— “Home!” 1925 French Translation — “When he suc- ceeded in taking that man apart — ” Bouquets are quite numerous in Room 12 — especially the early lawn blossoms. Pupil translating Latin — “I know nothing — ” Teacher — “That will do.” Miss H to Fuller who is leaning out window — “Fuller, do you care to be in this class?” Fuller — “Yes’m.” Miss H — “Then stay with us, please.” Vorbeau in French — “I guess I wasn’t here when the passing marks were given out.” Elliott of late seems anxious to ex- press his points of view by means of a compass. Miss Moore in French — “The medie- val cities were not lighted at night. What was the result?” Class — “Darkness.” 1926 Miss H — “What calamity happened to Emerson in his old age?” Class— “He died.” Reading the “House of Seven Gables” “ — and Dawn kissed her brow.” F — to H — “I’m surprised at you, Don.” Fudge has appeared to be asleep in class several times of late. We won- der why (Do we?) 1927 Mr. T. — “So the United States can provide for itself if it needs to!” W. Oppen — “No, they have to buy ‘Spanish Sardines’.” Miss Atwater, reading the “Goldbug” to Eng. II — “What does the antenae on the gold bug mean?” Oppen — “Aerial.” Miss Atwater — “What is a ‘Bread Butter letter’?” Buell — “Thanks for the eats.” 17
