She teaches Latin and Biology. Miss Enos has a difficult job in teach- ing Latin. But she does it admirably and even has time to supervise a Dramatic Club. May the floor of the School Stage withstand many more of her plays ! MISS ALICE ERICKSON Miss Erickson was born in Worcester, Mass.

He teaches all Sciences, except Biology. He has charge of the Science Club. Mr. Knowles seems rather quiet and we hear little from him. but that does not mean that he does no work. We know better than that ! MRS. LAPWORTH Mrs. Lapworth was born in Boston, Mass. She attended Milton High and graduated from Chandler ' s Normal.

When teaching at Bridgewater, she organized a Girls ' League, comprising all the girls of the school. During the past year Mrs. Lapworth has been seen frequently about the school. She is the best substitute teacher we have had contact with and she is well liked about the school. Her one weakness seems to be a dislike of Disecting in Biology class. But we forgive her for that for the majority of us dislike it, too. MISS ELLEN COWING Miss Cowing was born in Lincoln, Maine, of French parentage. When four years old she entered a French convent, Mt. Merici in Waterville, Maine. She later attended an Irish school from which she graduated in 1924.

Don ' t sleep on your right side, for it in- terferes with the respiration of that lung. Don ' t sleep on your stomach, for that interferes with both lungs and makes breathing difficult. Don ' t sleep on your back, for this meth- od of getting rest is bad for the nervous system. Don ' t sleep sitting in a chair, for your body falls into an unnatural position and you can not get the necessary relaxation. Don ' t sleep standing up, for you may topple over and crack your skull. Don ' t sleep. P. Nut V. SENIORS Now is the time we say Good Bye To dear old Stoughton High, Our happy school days past, We ' ve reached the height at last. Now we have crossed the bay, The ocean lies before us. As we set forth today, Let ' s be victorious. Success did lead the way We followed day by day. Farewell to Stoughton High, May its light never die. To thee, dear Stoughton High School, our cheers ring long, To the orange and the black bursts forth our song. For we love and we cherish each room and each hall And we will ne ' re forget thy brick ivied wall. Every hour was filled with our youth ' s delight As we worked with a purpose and with all our might. We ' re leaving our teachers, principal, and friends In venturing untravelled seas to their end. II Here is to thee, Stoughton High School, fond and true, We can ne ' re repay all that we owe to you; For we are leaving you for the trials of life, Your wisdom will guide us through terror and strife. Though our paths may lead us each far from his home, Though we crave as a viking the seas to roam, We ' ll return again at your welcomirg call To thee our dear High School we ' ll hie one and all. Abbie Chase ' 32. SALLY. Page Thirty THE HEATHEN CHINESE IS PECULIAR He laughs when he is sad and cries when he is glad. Wears white instead of black when mourn- ing. Makes the lining of a suit first. Shakes hands with himself when he meets a friend. Removes his shoes instead of his hat when entering a house. Wears skirts and puts his vest on over his coat. Drinks hot tea to keep cool and carries a fan in cold weather. Does not receive a permanent name until he is dead. Scratches his foot instead of his head when puzzled. He is one year old the day of his birth. He mounts a horse from the right side and puts him in the stall backwards. Builds the roof of his house first. His fractions are upside down. Whitens his shoes instead of blackening them. — Ripley. Patronize Semaphore Advertisers
