THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC up at intervals, but the rest is all sand. At noon we dined away from home. We went across the street to a small restaurant where the other people that we knew ate. Viola, our Portugese friend, was alwaj’S there. When we first came we were impress- ed by a large group of artists who sat on the beach, their various casals turn- ed towards the bright blue sea, their brushes working. TOAST TO MEMBERS OF 10 ENG. LISH I We of classical ’27 Are in a divided state, For some of us are in room four While some are in room eight. In our class’s an officer bold Who guides the traffic whirl. This duty she performs quite well For she’s a Learned girl. Other two there are also Who are greatly held in honor. Can 3 r ou guess their names when I ask you this, “Did the Taylor go round the Connor?” Miss Smith an artistic child is she Whose portraits I’d fain disclose, But we’ve never seen her draw one yet Of a man with a “Patch” on his nose. The Junior High may brag about Their building grand and all. But just the same ten English one Can boast of a Newhall. Some people are afraid of rams, Here’s someone worse than that Who tried to Dodge a Lamson quick And lost his Sunday hat. Though we all have curious traits, And with faults are somewhat possessed We make a happy and joyous group, For we think that our course is the best. P. W. Instructor — What is the quickest way to produce sawdust? Student — Why-er-er- Instructor — Come! Come! Use your head, use your head. “Are you sure these field glasses are high-power?” inquired the timber cruis- er of the shop-keeper. “Say, fellow,” replied the enthusias- tic salesman, “when you use those glas- ses anything less than ten miles away looks like it’s behind you.” After lunch we often had a boat ride. Father sat at the oars and mother and I at either end. My sister, who seemed to fear sea riding, and doubt the safety of boats usually visited the owner of the house where we stayed who was a pleasant, elderly woman whose son owned the tiny yellow rowboat, Virgin- ia. I hope to go to Provincetown again. S. L. ERASMUS Erasmus is a solemn man. He never deigns to smile at all From out his picture hanging on The moulding of the study wall. At length, therefore, I took him down From off his dusty picture pin And hung him on another knob Where people come more often in. But even then he could not smile Or call his endless writing done; Indeed I thought his countenance Less happy than his former one. And so at last I put him back Among his more beloved books Where there are none but them and me To care how his expression looks. M. H. ’25. DON’T DON’T BE a Knocker — you can’t saw wood with a hammer. DON’T BE a Blowhard — save your breath for an emergency. DON’T BE a Crab — there are plenty of them in the ocean. DON’T BE a Showoff — if you’re real- ly good the world knows it. DON’T BE a Crepe-hanger — we’ve got troubles of our own. DON’T MAKE Alibies — give the oth- er fellow credit for being some good. DON’T WASTE your time writing stuff like this. Mr. Levy bought a bowl of goldfish home to his boy, Abie, and the follow- ing brief and illuminating colloquy en- sued: “ABCD goldfish” “LMNO goldfish.” “O S A R.” Levy knew. He had tested them with acid.
