Let it show to its friends and contemporaries the spirit of a wide-awake, progressive institution, as well fitted for the literary field as for the athletic. The successes of our football and base-

4 THE SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. ball teams have given us a name in ath- letics. Let us gain equal success in all the various lines of school work, espc- ially let us make our school paper as bright, lively and interesting a journal as can be found in the country. IT is with great satisfaction that we record the final action taken on the South End affair of Nov. i. The letter placed in the hands of the Associated Press was undoubtedly a proper docu- ment, and its publication was an act that should certainly lead to better rela- tions between the two schools inter- ested, and, in fact, throughout the Senior League. The matter was dis- cussed at the mass meeting in a per- fectly square way, and it is safe to say that the final step was one which re- ceived the sincere approval of every member of our schools. Somerville de- clared herself the supporter of clean athletics. This was no new stand, but it was a decided one, and coming from such an important member in the league race, its effect could not fail to be felt. THE columns of the Radiator are open to every pupil in the High Schools. The excellent articles con- tributed in previous years have plainly shown that we have plenty of literary talent. The staff is anxious to make the eighth volume of the paper a suc- cess in every branch, and suggestions toward this end will always be welcome. Read your school paper over in a criti- cal way as well as for what enjoyment you can get out of it, and if you see anything you don't approve, say so. It is your paper, and you certainly have a right to determine what kind of paper it shall be. SOMERVILLE may well feel proud of the artistic talent of her High Schools. The recent drawing of “Evan- geline and Gabriel,” by one of the me- chanical-drawing boys, is indeed a fine piece of work. It shows the spirit of a true artist, and one of whom we expect to hear good things in the future. This, however, is but one case among many. Every class abounds with some really clever artists. The attractive Radiator and football posters, together with a glance at the work exhibited in the studio and mechanical drawing rooms, fully sustain this statement. AT the meeting of the school commit- tee of Oct. 31. Fred G. Gctchcll, Bowdoin ’98, and Helen F. Tredick, Smith '97, were admitted to the faculty of the English High School as student teachers. The popularity of that branch of our course is shown by the long list of teachers now studying with us. Beside Mr. Getchell and Miss Tredick there are Miss Forbes, E. II. S. '97, Miss Newman, Miss Pierce, and Mr. Rich, from the Normal Art School; Miss Raymond from the Emerson College of Oratory; Miss Todd, Smith ‘98, and Miss Vincent, Rad- cliffc ’97. From Mr. Soutlnvorth's re- port we learn that there arc 885 scholars in the High Schools this year, while in 1S97 the roll held 875 names. WITH increased facilities and added experience, the firms found in our advertising columns this year stand ready to furnish Radiator readers with the best of goods and the most courte- ous attention. They are all reliable houses, and an inspection of what they have to offer will convince you that there is little need of looking far outside your own city for the very best trade. WE are glad to note the increase in the feminine attendance at football games this season. The presence of the fair sex has without question a telling effect upon the character and result of every game played. This is equally true of baseball games, and it is hoped that the young ladies will as warmly support baseball in its season. OWING to delay in the appointment of the Radiator staff, the current issue of the paper makes its appearance one week late. The next number will be published on the third Wednesday of December.
