THK staff of the Radiator begin the the seventh volume of the paper with a determination to maintain the high degree of excellence attained by the past issues of the paper. We recog- nize the fact that the Radiator has a high reputation to sustain. It is our in- tention to make it an exponent of our High School life, and while realizing the necessity of maintaining the class spirit, we feel that the strength of our endeavors should be to create loyalty to school as a whole. Of course this cannot he accomplished without the heartiest sup- port of the scholars. One of the serious troubles of late years has been the lack of contributions from the pupils. It seems to us that with an enrolment of nearly one thousand scholars there ought to he a large number who could con- tribute articles. The columns of the Radiator give those who are making- literature and Knglish their principal studies an admirable chance for writing.

4 Till-: SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. We shall be very glad to receive articles from any of the former editors of the paper and also graduates of the school. ALTHOUGH each class has its edi- tor, it must be remembered that the classes are divided into two or more divisions and many recitations are being carried on during each period. As an unavoidable result, the class editor, how- ever alert he or she may be, can get but a small amount of the bright and inter- esting things which occur and are so amusing. Let each one, then, feel a personal responsibility. A GLANCI', at our advertising col- umns will show that the different Somerville stores have a large variety of stock on hand and that it is the wish of our dealers to cater to the very best trade. Let the Somerville people pat- ronize home industries and there would be no trouble about the prices of the goods. Also let the pupils remember this and give their preference to the lo- cal trade. MR. S. HLNRY HADLEY is con- ducting a chorus Thursday even- ings at the Prospect Hill church prepa- ratory to giving the oratorio of the “Creation.” Many recent graduates and present members of the two schools have joined the chorus and much pleasure and profit is anticipated. Mr. Hadley is also conducting a chorus in less dim- cult music Wednesday evenings at the Flint St. church. THE Latin High School is fortunate in being made the recipient of a por- trait of Isaac X. Reals which is the gift of his widow. Mr. Reals was principal of the High School nearly forty years ago in 1858-1859. AMID the discussion relative to the formation of an athletic association the suggestion is made that the direct- ors should be men not connected with either team, so that if any difficulty be brought to their notice an impartial judgment may be given. This seems to us the wisest course if the association is to be a controlling power and not a mere figurehead. DURING the vacation the city gov- ernment went to considerable ex- pense in putting down new flooring and repainting the walls in the corridors of Latin School building. The desks have also been varnished in all of the rooms. The result is that the appearance of the interior of the building has been greatly brightened, for which the pupils of the school extend their thanks to the city. OUR baseball team victorious; the “Senior Interscholastic League” afraid of us; and our vocal accomplish- ments praised on the Western prairies— what next shall we aspire to? Wouldn’t it be a good idea to send a racing team into Mechanics Hall and at least be rep- resented among the schools we have defeated on the diamond and gridiron? THE success of the June, 1897, issue of the Radiator is well illustrated by the fact that the editorial staff can- not obtain a spare copy to use in solicit- ing advertisements. A generous sub- scription to the paper will make a like result possible in every issue. TIIE leading article for the Radiator this month is entitled “Glimpses of Rome,” by Mrs. Mae 1). Erazar. This is very interesting and instructive espec- ially so for those who are studying Latin and history. A E are much indebted to Mr. R. I '. »Y Freeman, our popular Rroadway photographer, for the use of the photo- graph for our frontispiece.
