'09 4 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Introductory Once more a new Radiator staff steps forward to introduce itself to the student body. In the sou- venir edition of last June the out-going; staff re- ferred to us as a band of worthy youths and promis- ing maids. It sounded well, we admit, and wc hope the former editor was more adapted to fore- seeing the mysterious future than wc are: but nevertheless it does not become us to accept any undeserved laurels. During our term of office we shall presumably do many things to call forth cen- sure. but may our faults be written as upon the sea- shore. and may each worthy act prove a wave to wash them away. Our schoolmates hardly appreciate the enormity of the task wc have to retain the high standard of former years. The maintenance of the Radiator's good name cannot be accomplished without the united and hearty support of both schools. We must have not only vour moral, but also your mate- rial. support; for no paper can exist with an empty treasury. Do you suppose that our treasurer is an honorary officer? He certainly is not! Do not depend upon your neighbor, but do your share towards aiding a worthy cause by giving us your subscription. Somerville High School has always stood at the front in football and baseball: the Somerville High School Radiator has long had the name of being a school paper of no little merit. Breathes there a student with soul so void of life that he could look with indifference on the decline of any undertaking of his alma mater? The yearly subscription of seventy-five cents will not im- poverish you, and you will get the full value of your money. Lest you forget, we remind von that the authorities at the St. Louis Exposition honored the Radiator as being one of the best school papers in the country. If some one had not been public- spirited, that honor would never have been de- served. Even Rome could not have been buiit without the necessary material, and the necessary material in this instance is not only the intellect of our student body, but also the almighty dollar, or, to be more definite, many of them. It is a fact not generally known that, out of the thousand students who make up our school body, barely one-third arc on our subscription list. Were it not for the .kind- ness of our advertisers, the publication of the Radiator would be an impossibility. . r. « . Zo tbe Class of 1906 Xinetecn-six.” if we may use the words of the prophet, “your days are numbered. Three years ago this fall we entered this High School as the largest Freshman class in the school history. Since then larger classes have entered, and we, diminished in numbers, have been obliged to give way to the youthful throng of wisdom-seekers fol- lowing in our wake. But as our numbers gradu- ally decreased, the class spirit correspondingly in- creased. and not once has 1906 been obliged to lower her colors to a rival. We have returned from the last long vacation in our High School career. Next summer will sec us scattered—wc know not where. We sec among the host of familiar faces many new ones, while many of the well-known schoolmates are missed, showing that another class has left us to go out to wrestle with the world. The class of 1905 will never again enter our walls as fellow-students, but only as welcome visitors. This awakens us to the fact that wc, too. shall soon look back with fond recollections of this institution, our alma mater; for the four years of our school life arc passing quicklv. too quickly for most of us. and arc now well on the wane. Many look upon this last year with outward indifference, but deep down in our hearts we know that we shall be sorry to leave when, eight months from now. we march across a brilliantly-lighted platform and receive our diplomas. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 TClc Iconic c will condescciul to step down momentarilv from our high position as Seniors, and extend the glad hand to the entering class of 19UJ). Fresh- men. in the four years you have before you. we wish you success and prosperity. We have but little time to remain with you, but we trust that, after the departure of the class of ’01� . the school will still continue to exist as it did before we were a part of it. Nineteen nine is the last class we shall see enter the school, and so we put all sincerity into these few words of welcome, and once again wish the Freshmen good luck. ZTbanftdotvmo This, indeed, is a time when we. the present edir torial board, can offer up our sincere thanks After a hard struggle, we arc at last able to place the first number of the Radiator before the school. (hving to the heavy debt that has been incurred by former managements, we were unable to publish the usual October number; but we feel thankful that we shall not be obliged to repeat that omission this month. However, if at any time during the year we find our funds such that it would be inadvisable to at- tempt to publish the number, we shall wait until we can meet the expense of publication. Therefore, students, when you feel like blaming somebody, re- member it is you who are supporting the Radiator, and we are but your chosen represen- tatives. it � r, k H-lew TTcacbers The Latin School faculty has suffered a loss in the resignation of Miss Walker, who was married during the summer. But there is no loss without some gain, and we feel certain that the vacancy will be ably filled by Miss Cunningham. In the Eng- lish School Miss Marsh is welcomed back after a year’s absence. Soliloquy ,H3 Shameless Samuel As 1 take my well-worn quill between my thumb and index finger, I can hardly repress a shudder at thinking of the deep impression this treatise will make upon the minds of the readers of the Radiator. 1 have fond expectations that this mar- velous and phenomenal exhibition of verbal jiu- jitsu will make a decided sensation in the cultured society of this school. The members of the literary world have often been vainly exhorted to place a thoughtful essay before the eyes of our readers. Therefore, in a manner as unassuming as possible, 1 hereby respond to the call for volunteers. I am writing this for the especial benefit of the •class editors. It is a well-known fact that the class notes afford greater amusement to the students than any other department of the Radiator. It is therefore both fitting and proper that each editor should work conscientiously to make his column an unquestionable success. None would like better to speak on this vital subject, I dare say. than the present editor-in-chief; but, in giving the follow- ing suggestions, which 1 hope will be cheerfully re- ceived. I relieve the Radiator's pilot from any re- sponsibility concerning this point. The first and most important lesson to be learned by a class editor is to depend upon himself, and to remember, above all things, that the class has chosen him to take the charge and responsibility of his column, rather than to be an agency through which his classmates may pass in notes. Not that the writer would condemn the passing in of not« s by pupils; on the other hand, he would wish to encourage this beneficial custom. Hut it must be the class editor who assumes the whole responsi- bility in the matter. Again, it should be the class editor's duty to ex- clude all stale jokes and insignificant notes from his contributions. Events and humorous incidents should not be relied upon entirely as material to lengthen the column. Why not think up some harmless hit on some of the well-known characters of your class, instead of startling those who peruse the paper with mirth-producing renderings heard in German, history. etc.? This latter class of notes is all well enough in its place, but to have it in predominance over the rest of the column re- minds one too vividly of the quotations from the stock exchange. Those who read these lines may form the idea that the author thinks he knows it all. The author does not know it all, but has had a little experience in the line of class notes, and has merely written some suggestions he has been able to glean from his arduous duties. No one need feel obliged t ; comply with these suggestions, offered in a spirit of meekness and charity, but perhaps the imagina- tion of the class editors may be stimulated by read- ing over these hints that have so sorely taxed this over-worked brain to compile. I will now end this essay, but before I lay aside my pen. let me say but two words, which will be of far greater value to the class editors than all the volumes of logic in exist- ence. Be original.” 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ©leanfcra: B XUalc of fftallow’e £ve J5y IDavicn H. Uountfjobn, X., '0(3 HE young folk of the little town of Pascclle had planned a Hallowe’en surprise party at the house of Olcandra, an Indian maiden, who lived in a log cabin in the midst of a field just outside the town. Three years before she had come, a wanderer, to the town of Pascclle. She had for a small sum obtained a log cabin, de- serted by lumbermen, for her abode. She had even worked up a trade in vegetables, and was respected in the town. During her three years’ stay on the outskirts of Pascclle, she had learned many cus- toms of the Palefaces. Xannctte Macv. the parson’s fair-haired daugh- ter. had a very romantic disposition, and was devot- edly attached to Shakespeare, as well. She was ex- tremely fond of weaving Olcandra into weird tales, and amusing her companions. She even said that Olcandra must be an exile from some wandering Indian tribe. On the morn of October 30 a crowd was gath- ered in the hall of the schoolhouse to make plans for the next evening. Roys were selected to carry the tubs and apples, pumpkins large and round were solicited, and the festivities were arranged. Meanwhile Olcandra was in the village that morning to sell some vegetables of her own raising. Hearing her name spoken through an open win- dow of the schoolhouse. and mindful of the coming Hallow’s eve. Olcandra was on the alert. Tipping her basket, she spilled the contents and stooped to pick them up. Aha! She had heard! She knew! The gleaming eyes and expectant countenance of the wanderer Olcandra appeared beneath the frill of a large gray hood. A sweeping black cape con- cealed the agile form and many-colored attire of the erect Indian maiden. She was hastening to the woods for evergreen to decorate her cabin, and wood to build a bonfire. Oleandra was the only daughter of Big Chief White Head, the leader of a small remnant of the Wanapanachi tribe. At the death of her father, possessed with a taste for the more civilized cus- toms of the Paleface, she had broken loose from her people and wandered down the Mississippi bank seeking her freedom. Ever since Oleandra had deserted her clan, she had been diligently sought bv Eagle-beak, the suc- ceeding chieftain of the tribe. Bent on restoring her to her race once more, Eagle-beak was still energetic in his search. On the night of October 29, Eagle-beak had passed through the village of Pascclle, and the gleaming eyes of Olcandra had seen him go. Straight on lie went, nor did he dream of her existence there. The sun was setting, clothed in splendor, send- ing its glorious tinges of rainbow colors far up through the sky. The autumn leaves accentuating these fantastic surroundings gave the place a singu- larly fanciful appearance. A huge bonfire was crackling and shooting its darts of flame up into the air by the side of a log cabin, in the door of which stood Oleandra. her bright eyes glistening with excitement. The shadows deepened, and shouts of laughter rang out into the night air. Xearer and nearer they sounded, until they reached the cabin. The door flew open, and there stood—Oleandra? Xo! She wore a gray cloak! She carried a broom! And a staff! But yes. it was Olcandra's face. She smiled and stretched forth lx th arms. “Welcome! Do not fear. Oleandra plays the witch. She sweeps the cobwebs from the sky. Enter.” Oh. horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thee. Come on. every- body.” 'This from Xannettc. who could not resist the temptation of inserting a Shakespearean quota- tion at this juncture. 'The merriment of the evening was greatly be- yond every one’s expectations. A Hallowe’en party, indeed, it proved to be. The lighted pump- kins were set up. the apples were bobbed, and more than one had his head ducked, but the happiest of all was Oleandra. The wanderer maiden danced the characteristic war dance and muttered weird in- cantations of the tribe. At last the great bonfire went out. and the merry crowd dispersed. $ ’ Fifty years had passed, during which it had been the custom in the town of Pascclle for all Hal- lowe’en festivities to be held in Wanapanachi’s field, the dooryard of Olcandra’s home. ()n the night of the fiftieth anniversary of Olcandra’s Hallow's eve. the village folk were once more assembled, and in the midst of their festivi- ties. when a shadow fell on the ground by the side of the blazing bonfire. The eyes of all were turned to the new-comer. Behold! An old and lean In- dian. with feathered headgear, a tawdry garment, and long leather leggings fringed with gaudy beads, ilis face was marked with the lines of age and toil, and his countenance was savage with anger. 11 is belt of human skulls told of his ghastly deeds. Aha! Eagle-beak has found his prize at last! The Wanapanachi will have their revenge!” In consternation the village folk dispersed, nor did they linger, for the old warrior drew his bow as if to shoot. The following morning a note was discovered stuck in the door of Xanncttc's abode, and this is what was found therein :— “Farewell. Oleandra joins her tribe once more. To the children of Xannctte I give my treasures. Search under pile of bonfire ashes and you will find their hiding-place.” SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 B $3oarMng School lEpteofce 36v? Wattle Classman, 2 ., ’OS T was after class, and five girls were as- sent bled in one of the classrooms of a boarding school. These five were called the ‘Quintette by all the rest of the girls in the school, because, where a person saw one of them, he might be sure that the other four were somewhere in that vicinity. Usually at this time of day all the girls went for a walk with Miss Jennings, but the weather had been so disagreeable that they had re- mained in the house for the last few days. Oh. girls. I do wish it would clear up. It has been raining constantly for the last three days, and as yet there is no sign of it stopping. This weather does make me so homesick. The speaker was a girl of perhaps fifteen years of age. Her name was Flower, and the name was exactly suited to her. She was very lovely, with brown eyes, auburn hair, a sweet mouth, and a little round chin in which a dimple played hide and seek. As she sat there leaning back in her chair, her hands locked at the back of her head, and her eyes fixed dreamily on the ceiling, she was a pic- ture worthy of any artist’s pencil. As her words did not require an answer, she con- tinued. Anyway. I am sick and tired of school. Pretty nearly every night we have salt mackerel for supper, and then I drink so much water that every time I eat anything, a piece of bread, for instance, I can hear it splash.” “Well.” ventured a pale girl with a high-pitched voice, if you are so sick of school, why don’t you leave? Why don’t I go to heaven?” cross-questioned Flower sarcastically. Recause I can’t—that's why. but school would be a little better without the salt mackerel—and Miss Jennings. Flower was the favorite of the school, so much so. in fact, that even the teachers let her have her own way in many respects. So the girls all clustered around her. and Helen, the youngest of the five, plucked up courage and said, Flo. dear, never mind the salt mackerel, or Miss Jennings, either, but please tell us a story. Flower was very tender-hearted, and Helen said this in such a pleading voice, that she could not resist her. though she said. I can’t get the thought of salt mackerel out of my head, but I will tell you what my grandmother told me once when I was complaining about my salt supper. The girls all clapped their hands in high glee to think that they had been able to get Flower in good humor again, and she began :— “The iast time 1 went to visit my grandmother, she told me before supper that we were going to have salt mackerel for the evening meal. 1 always •expressed my likes and dislikes to her very freely, so I told her that 1 disliked the fish very much. Rv wav of enticing me to eat it. or at least I sup- pose that was the reason, she said, 'Flo, if you eat ten pieces of salt mackerel to-night for supper, and then go to bed without drinking any water, a vision of a beautiful young woman will come to you in your dreams, and sav to you. Wish ! and your wish will come true!”’ I thought that I saw through her scheme, so I decided not to try it. Rut now. girls, so long as we are going to have the fish for supper to-night, why not try this, and assemble here to-morrow after class and tell what we wished? While eating supper. Miss Thompson, who pre- sided at the table, thought it queer that the Quin- tette ate so much salt mackerel, and that they seemed to relish it so much, but nevertheless she made no remarks about it. Recause.’’ thought the good soul, the poor things might have studied st hard that they could eat almost anything. After prayers, the five began to get so thirsty that they thought they had better go to bed and try to sleep it off. So they bade tile other girls good night and went upstairs. Flower lay with eyes wide open until ten o'clock, and all the while she thought that she would choke. The minutes went by like hours, but at last the clock struck eleven. She thought that she could stand it no longer: she got up and tried to bury herself in a book. She could not get her mind on the story, and sat still and tried to think of home, or anything, in fact, but her thirst. When the clock struck twelve, she could stand it no longer. She went to the door and listened. All was quiet without! She gently unlocked the door, and tiptoed to the bathroom on the other side of the hall, and drank until she had finished four tumblers of water. She tiptoed back to her room, crept into bed. and the moment she touched her head to the pillow fell asleep. When she awoke the next morning, she found to her dismay that it was fifteen minutes later than she usually got up. She jumped out of bed. made a hasty toilet, and arrived downstairs just as the bell for prayers was ringing. She glanced over at her friends’ places, and they all seemed to be looking well, but not very happy, and somehow they seemed to try to avoid looking at her. The impatient five could scarcely wait until after class, but it came at last, and the girls all quickly assembled in the appointed room. Fach wanted the other to tell her experience first, but finally it was decided that Flower should begin, because it was she that suggested the plan. and. besides this, she was the eldest. After some hesitation. Flower told all. but to her great surprise, none of the girls laughed, or even smiled, as she expected they would. On inquiry, they confessed that they had all had pretty nearly the same experience, and. after a hearty laugh, the girls decided to eat what was set before them and not grumble. 8 SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR XLhc Coming of Bbtgail y y fl arion Goodwin Eaton, X., '0(5 ISS MARIA'S niece was coming to visit her. and there was great excite- ment among Miss Maria's neighbors. Parson Cook’s wife had found out the news. She had seen the spare room comforter airing. and had hastened through the yard of the big house, that shut off a more extended view, to interrogate Miss Maria. She was armed with a quart of straw- berries as an excuse, and though Miss Maria was reticent, she was like a sponge in the hands of this skilful extractor of secrets. “Good morning. Miss Maria, want a whole quart or a half this morning?” said Mrs. Cook. A quart, please.” replied Miss Maria in her thin, sweet voice, like the high string of an old violin. While she took the berries into the house, Mrs. Cook looked eagerly around the yard, and even tried to catch a glimpse of the sitting-room through the vine-covered window that opened at the end of the porch. This back porch faced the south, and a row of tidies and braided mats were sunning on a line strung across from the shakv posts. On a line in the yard, between two great oak trees, was the comforter, and beside it more rugs, one of them with an impossible puppy woven in the centre. “Cleaning your spare room? Mrs. Cook called into the kitchen. Yes, I am,” said Miss Maria, coming to the door. Going to take the carpet up?” Well. no. it didn't seem dusty. lied Miss Maria bravely, though she knew her neighl or knew it was because she could not afford to hire a boy to do it. Land! what’s the use, when you don't have no- body to use it? Mrs. Cook replied tactfully. Miss Maria bridled. I'm going to have some one to use it.—my niece, Abigail Jenner. She’s coming to live with me this summer,” she added proudly. The parson's wife knew that she had gained enough for one day. and hurried home, stopping at the door of the big house to tell the news. The next night Abigail arrived, but so late that only Mrs. Clarissa Jones, who lived directly oppo- site. could have seen her trunk carried in the door where Miss Maria stood holding a smoking lamp above her head. But Mrs. Jones was fast asleep. Ivarlv the next morning Abigail awoke, and lay still a moment wondering what had roused her. The roosters were comparing breakfasts on a” sides, but above their cries came the notes of a re- vival hymn, sung in a harsh, shaky, and somewhat hoarse tenor. Hastily donning her dressing- gown. the girl knelt on a cricket by the open win- dow and peered sleepily out. The sun, too, was still sleepy, and in the long shadows the cobwebs still lay. The voice came really from further up the street, but echoed back and forth between the houses till it was hard to locate it. Miss Maria’s house stood in a quarter-acre of unkempt yard. Two terraces sloped down to the street, and two crumbling flights of steps, with a weedy path be- tween. led to the front door. The blinds were sag- ging. and the house had not been painted for many years, but woodbine had clambered over the porch, and the apple trees had grown close around it as if to hide the lack. Across the way Mrs. Jones' white house set close to the street in a friendly manner, and presently Mrs. Jones came out on her piazza and called to her neighbor next door. The parson ain't so hoarse this morning, and he’s sung six hymns without stopping. Guess his cold’s better,” and she laughed in a jolly, side- shaking fashion. Her neighbor answered her, and all the neighborhood knew it was time to be up. W hen Abigail came down, there was a smell of coffee in the house, and the table was already set. Her aunt sent the girl across the street to Mrs. Jones' for the eggs, and then they sat down to breakfast. After the morning work was done. Miss Maria sat down to her knitting, and her niece stepped out on the front porch with a book. It was a morning in late June, and though it was Saturday, all the children were in the woods hunting for pink lady's slippers for Flower Sunday. Occasionally some farmer’s team jogged along, and once an auto- mobile rushed madly by. the dust settling slowly be- hind it as if even the road was turning up its nose. Presently far down the road Abigail heard a merry, tuneless whistle. A small girl and a little black and white dog tumbled through the fence of the big house next door and ran down the road, to come back with a young man carrying a big suit- case. He glanced up at Abigail, and then turned to the small girl. Abigail caught the word peach, and saw the little girl shake her head se- verely, and then begin to talk, meanwhile checking off items on her fingers. Through the hedge of honcy-sucklc bushes she saw them go up the steps of the big yellow house to the porch, where Sirs. Jones was standing. Then Abigail went in tactfully to interrogate her aunt about their next-door neighbors. She soon found out that their name was Parker, and that, though Mr. Parker was a native of the town, he was contaminated by Mrs. Parker, who was city folks,” and looked upon as a nice woman, but cranky. 1 think. said Miss Maria. I just heard the son go bv. You can always tell his whistle because tlicre isn't any tunc to it. Maybe you heard him, too? Yes,” said Abigail tentatively, “he had a dress- suit-case.” Meanwhile Mr. Parker had greeted his mother and Mrs. Jones with the announcement that Abi- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 gail was a “peach, and he was glad she was going to stay all summer. Sydney.” said his mother, how on earth do you know all about Abigail?” Oh, the kid's been watching Mrs. Cook scrub her back porch. And I want to meet Abigail. he ended. Mrs. Jones chuckled. She'll probably come over to my house for eggs in the morning, and if you'll happen over I'll introduce you. Fine and dandy! I'll he there. What time? “ ’Bout half-past six. and she chuckled again. “Won't she stay to breakfast, too?’’ If you can't get up early one morning, you don't deserve to meet her, and I shan't say one word about you. And Mrs. Jones went down the steps laughing. At the gate she met Mrs. Cook, and they walked down the road to Miss Maria’s yard together. Sydney Barker has seen her niece already, and he thinks she’s terrible pretty. said Mrs. Jones in a stage whisper. Land sakes! What’ll his mother say? an- swered Mrs. Cook. I don't know. said her neighbor darkly, and started across the street to her own house. There! she said, as she started to get her din ner. '1 suppose I shouldn't have done that, but it's temperance meeting this afternoon, and they’ve got to have something to talk about.” However. Monday afternoon lie walked home from down town with Abigail, and then the fun began. It had happened this way: Abigail was coming home carrying a box of berries and a jar of cream, with mail and other bundles. Now. how- ever well berries and cream may be on the supper table, they arc awkward things to bring home. Just outside the village, in a wild effort to keep the cream from falling. Abigail had dropped her let- ters. Sydney was just behind, and he picked up her mail, relieved her of the cream, and walked on beside her. lie kept tight hold of the cream, so there was nothing she could do. Presently they met Mrs. Cook driving with a stout, loud-voiced woman, behind a fat old brown horse. Mrs. Cook’s face assumed a complacent air. and both women bowed delightedly. Mrs. Cook called on me this morning. said the girl. Poor thing! Did she have to wait all day yes- terday?” said Sydney. I guess she made up for it. I can’t think of anything I didn’t tell her. But. said he solemnly. Mrs. Cook is nothing to the person she was with just now. That was Mchitable. and whereas Mrs. Cook will simply re- port the fact that we were walking together. Mc- hitable will be able to repeat our conversation. Oh!” laughed Abigail. I hope it will be inter- esting. “It will be. and when I hear it I'll come and tell you. he said. Miss Maria met her niece in the hall. How du. you meet Sydney Parker? she asked. Oh! and Abigail remembered. '1 he cream started to fall, and in her attempt to catch it. Miss Maria forgot her question. That evening Mrs._ Cook went to call on the Parkers so early that they were still at dinner. She sat down in the sitting room to wait, selecting the chair whence she could see the reflecting doors of the china cabinet in the corner of the dining- room. When they were through, she saw Sydney and his elder sister start for the kitchen door, and she called. “Sydney! Remembering the glass doors, the young man turned and came back into the sitting room. “I saw you walking up with Miss Maria’s niece.” She spoke t the son. but she kept her eye on his mother. Neither showing any signs of emotion, she tried again. She’s a real pleasant girl, I think. Mrs. Cook, she is the nicest girl I ever met in my life, and I am going to call on her as soon as my mother will let me. That was cream and the mail I was carrying for her to-day. There was Miss Maria's Congregationalist and the Chronicle, but the letters fell wrong side up. He stopped for breath, and his mother hastily changed the conver- sation to the new minister. Mrs. Cook admitted to herself that she had gained little by that call, but to the neighbors she said that Sydney’s mother would not let him call on Abigail. Wednesday Sydney heard that, before MchitabL could tell her sister what he had said to Abigail, Mrs. Cook had unwittingly said they couldn't hear a word of it. That night lie called on Abigail, and wisely included her aunt in the call, so that before many days he was doing Miss Maria's errands, and she was saying how college had improved him. So affairs went on all summer, and Sydney had even taken Abigail to a band concert, which was very significant. Daily Mrs. Cook reported the sorrows of Mrs. Parker, till it was getting to be an old story. Suddenly, to the consternation of all. a young man appeared at Miss Maria's. It was on a Thurs- day. and Mrs. Cook was on her weekly visit to the. nearest town. So for once it was Mrs. Jones who reported what he was. Abigail had come over for extra eggs, and confided to her that it was her fiance, and he had come to go home with her Sat- urday morning. Affairs were complicated now. in- deed. The younger part of the neighborhood in- sisted on a duel, and went around listening for a pistol shot. Friday night they saw Sydney go in Miss Maria’s door, but they heard only the sounds of the old piano protesting against rag-time. Saturday morning, when the village hack drove up to Miss Maria’s gate, every woman in the neigh- borhood was in her yard or on her steps shaking rugs. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Parker came out on the sidewalk to say good-by to Abigail. After she had gone, they stopped for a few moments to talk, and the little Parker girl came out and called to her mother. Say. mother, Mary says she won't keep Syd- ney's breakfast another minute, and lie simply won't get up.” 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Htbletfc Wotcs On Monday. September 11. Captain Commins is- sued the call for football candidates. About thirty men reported for practice at 1 .roadway field, nine of whom have heretofore won their S.” The new material is also good, and. with Coach Cuddy again in charge of the players, Somerville looks like a winner. The line is fully as heavy as last year's, and al- though the backfield has not been as heavy, it will make up in speed what it lacks in weight. The daily work consists of tackling the dummy, signal practice, and a short scrimmage with the second eleven. The second team has organized, and has elected McLaughlin captain. Assistant Manager Whitnev is managing the second, and Bergen Reynolds is in charge of the first team. Leo II afford assisted Coach Cuddy during Sep- tember. His work, most of it. was devoted to the second eleven. At the annual meeting of the Interscholastic League at Young's Hotel September 30. II. F. Stone was re-elected secretary; George Hosmcr, Latin, and Mr. Stone. English, were elected gradu- ate members, and Bergen Reynolds, Latin. ‘00, was elected undergraduate member. Those who have not yet joined the Athletic As- sociation ought to do so soon, at least before Thanksgiving Day's game. The many Somerville friends of Stacey and Blair turned out to see the llarvard-Bowdoin game, in which both of these old Somerville stars partici- pated. Blair directing the Bowdoin team from quarterback, while Stacey played a good game against the famous Brill. The fact that a number of schools have canceled their games with us has caused the management much uncalled-for trouble and annoyance. It cer- tainly doesn’t show the true sportsmanlike spirit. Do your share toward striving for the pennant. Attend the games! To quote a certain Boston paper, our football captain is a sterling leader. Follow your leader, boys, and the championship is ours. ----------------------------- athletic association The annual meeting of the Somerville High School A.

The girls are again in charge of Miss Thayer, who coached them so successfully last year. At this writing, however, no captain had been elected. A number of last year’s team have graduated, leaving many positions open to new aspirants. It is the wish of the coach and others in charge that all the girls who play or wish to play would come out to practice at once, as a number of challenges have already been received from teams in the vicinity. -------------------------------------- Somerville, 14; B. C. fl rcp. S., 0 September 27 Somerville opened the football sea- son by defeating B. C. Prep. School on Broadway field, 11-0. Somerville’s fumbling at crucial points of the game accounts for her comparatively poor showing, as Prep. at no time was able to gain hci SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 11 distance, and never held the home team for downs. After the first few moments of play, the offence got together, and. the ball being advanced almost to the goal-line, Feeley was pushed over for a touch- down. Hall kicked the goal. Somerville soon had the ball near the goal-line again, where, after a se ries of fumbles. Baldwin was sent over for a touch- down. Hall again kicked the goal. In the second half Somerville played nearly a new team. When within scoring distance, they lost the ball on a fumble, and Landrigan, attempt- ing to punt out. was nailed behind the line for a safety. Groton, 12; Somerville, 0 October 4 Somerville played the strong Groton team at Groton, and. after putting up one of the poorest exhibitions of football that a Somerville team could, was defeated. 12-0. Somerville kicked off to Groton on her 30-vard line. Watcrbury fumbled on the next rush, the ball going to Somerville, who. however, was not able to gain, and the ball went to Groton on downs. Groton was held, and punted outside. After a minute of play, Somerville fumbled on her 20-yard line, where Thayer, on the second rush, carried the ball over for a touchdown. Bacon kicked the goal. The rest of the half Groton played a kicking game. Somerville inevitably losing the ball on downs or fumbles. Twohig was hurt in a fierce scrimmage, and had to leave the field, Henderson taking his place. The second half Groton kicked off to Commins, but Somerville lost the ball on downs. Groton punted to Jarvis, who dropped the ball. Groton se- curing it. Groton then worked a trick play that completely fooled Somerville, and carried the ball around for another touchdown. Bacon again kicked the goal. The rest of this half was the repetition of the last part of the first half, Groton twice punting behind the goal-line for touchbacks. The game ended without any more scoring. For Groton. Watcr- bury and Thayer played the best game, while Som- erville’s work as a team was conspicuously off color. The line-up:— GROTC) N.

Somerville, IS; Uauflbn “prep.. 5 October t Somerville played and defeated in a ragged game an aggregation known as Vaughn Prep.” Cuddy received the first kickoff and ran it forty- five yards. He carried the ball over for a touch- down on the next play on a quarterback run. He kicked his own goal. Vaughn punted after Somer- ville's kickoff, and steady plunges by the backs brought almost to the line, where Sharry took it over. Cuddy again kicked the goal. Somerville punted after Vaughn's kickoff, and in the midst of a scrimmage, a Vaughn man secured the ball and made a touchdown, which was allowed by the ref- eree. a Vaughn man. The second half a number of substitutes were put in. Somerville, however, was able to make another touchdown, from which Cuddy kicked the goal. Somerville, IS; flDecbanic Hrts f)l(jb, 0 Our next game was with M. A. II. October 11.. whom we defeated. 18-0. This school had a sup- posedly strong team, but Somerville played a good game against them. After the first few minutes of play. Somerville began to tear up her opponent's line, and Commins went over for a touchdown. Cuddy kicked the goal. The next touchdown was made by Young, after Mechanics had lost on a bluff punt and Bald- win had run fifteen yards. Cuddy kicked the goal. The only feature of the second, in which Somer- ville was penalized a number of times, was Jarvis’ 25-vard run for a touchdown. Hall kicking the goal. The line-up:— SOM. HIGH. MECHANIC ARTS.

It was Driscoll’s initial appearance, and he made good with a vengeance. From Cambridge’s kickoff. Driscoll soon took the ball over for a touchdown. Hall kicked the 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR goal. Somerville was penalized on Cambridge's 2-yard line, but Driscoll was good for the whole distance. Hall again kicking the goal.

Normal kicked off to Jarvis, who fumbled but dropped on the ball. After a few short gains. Som- erville lost the ball on a fumble. Sharry was hurt, and his place taken by W. Henderson. Normal threatened our goal, but we held for downs. Nor- mal tried a drop for goal, but it was blocked by Hall. Soon after a punt by S. H. and L. was also blocked. The sensational play of the day came when a Normal man ran fifty yards for a touch- down. The goal was kicked, and the half closed with the score � - . In the second half Somerville kicked off to Nor- mal. Freeman replaced Henderson at end. After several long gains. Normal scored again, but failed to kick the goal. At this stage of the game Som- erville buckled down to work, and Young went •over for the only touchdown. The goal was kicked, making the score 11-0. The game was called on account of darkness. For Somerville, Young was easily the star, while O'Brien, of Normal, did good work for his team. The line-up:— BR11)G KW ATE R X R M A L. SOM FRY ILLE. Hoolev, l.e.....r.e.. 11.

Bullock, sailed over the muddy Mystic. and we swamped them. Our team never played better; the team work was great, the offense irresistible, and the defense a stone wall. Malden played a good game, but our heavier team mowed them right down, and hardly a rush from first to last but what laid out a Malden man. Malden kicked off to Baldwin, who ran it seven yards. Somerville soon punted. Malden lost around the end. and then punted. After plunges by Driscoll and Baldwin. Somerville punted, and Malden punted back to Twohig, who ran it twenty yards. Baldwin made eight: Commins, eight; Driscoll, ten; Commins, six; Hall went over for a touchdown and kicked the goal. With the same steady plunging and a 45-yard run. the second touchdown was made by Driscoll. Hall kicked the goal. Again the Malden team could not stop us. and Hall made another touchdown and kicked the goal. In the second half, although many subs were put in. the same fierce work was kept up, the men with the ball most always making more than their distance, and two more touchdowns were made by Driscoll and Commins. Hall kicked both goals. Twohig was back in the game for the first time since the Groton game, and played well. Driscoll. Commins. and Baldwin were always good, and Cuddy. Bowlby. Henderson, and Rice played fine ball. One of the features was Hall's goal-kicking. The line-up:— SC M ER VIIAJE. M A LDEN. II.

Every Senior class that has gone before us has left some token of their esteem for this dear old school. and we must do the same. In order to do this, we must have money; so. Seniors, show your class spirit and pay your dues. Remember that there arc more ways of support- ing the Radiator than simply buying the monthly issue.

We are glad to see so many of our old friends back, and heartily welcome all those who have come to us from the Latin School. I'he lunch counter’s motto seems to be, First come, last served ! A report has reached us that Doc M—sh—1! was seen walking up Pearl street with a young lady. We sincerely hope, however, that it is a false alarm. It is the wish of a good many pupils that Snow be kept off the corridors. Let all of us take an interest in our paper and make this year a very successful one. Lost, strayed, or stolen—Arnold and his note- books. Any one returning above-mentioned com- bination to Room 22 will undoubtedly be rewarded with a smile. The class is represented on the gridiron by Wil- liam Henderson, Ireland. Merrill, and McXeil. The Tech sociables are just as well attended this year in Room 22 as they were last year in Room 23. We are now upper-classmen. Let us prove our- selves worthy of the name. C hick Pr—tt was very much handicapped in carrying on his experiments in physiology because his mother objected to his playing with matches.

Z k jfra tetnUy Bailee All those who were fortunate enough to attend the Fraternity dance at Anthoine’s last December will be pleased to hear that it is to be repeated this year. The three clubs then interested, the L. E. D., S. T. I)., and Kappa Phi Eta. have appointed a joint committee, who have all arrangements per- fected, and expect an even greater success than be- fore. The dance this year is to have many unique fea- tures, and will take the form of a Rose Party. This gives ample opportunity for the beautiful decora- tions. which will far surpass those of last season, and they were considered the prettiest ever put up in the hall. All the clubs and fraternities of the High Schools, both graduate and undergraduate, arc o be invited, and the date. December 28. which comes during vacation, will make it convenient for all con- cerned. It is to be a subscription party, the number of in- vitations positively limited, and obtainable only from members of the three clubs, or the secretary.. Roger V. Pettingell. of 106 Highland avenue, be- fore December 1. The committee in charge of affairs is as follows: Misses Ethel M. Snow and Florence M. Reed, of the L. E. D.: William A. I.afield. Jr., and David L. Countway. Jr., of the S. T. 1).: and Chester L. Nve and Roger Pettingell. of the Kappa Phi Eta Club. ■ •——-— Caiuicnicbts The Taugcnichts began the season as they ended it—with an afternoon dance in Odd Fellows Hall, Saturday. September 23.

About twenty couples were present, and were chaperoned by Miss Palmer and Miss Fowler. ----------------------------- IT be jf. lb. fl . fraternity After a most strenuous vacation, every member of this charitably-inclined organization is back and ready to renew operations with the same character- istic enterprise that so distinguished the ”frat last year. A rumor was circulated that the stocky centre of Somerville High had left the club. We desire to state that this rumor was entirely without foundation. Who. we ask, could fill the gap in our ranks if he should desert us? We are glad that the greater part of the club has no intention of leaving, which speaks well for the F. II. P. Two new members have been admitted, who. after a se- vere examination, in which neither time nor ex- pense were spared, were found worthy to be our brethren. S. T. Jarvis needs no introduction, while John Leavitt, though diminutive in stature, and un- assuming in appearance, well deserves to boast of membership in our far-famed fraternity. The apartment where the club has its rendezvous is small and unpretentious, but it's our little home; just the same. IS SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR S. O. ID. Club The S. O. M. Club held its first regular meeting of this school year at the home of I. Leo Bryan Tuesday, September 12. at which the election of officers took place. The officers elected for the en- suing year were: President, Carlton Gorman; vice-president, Edwin Freeman; secretary, I. Leo Bryan; and treasurer. Aaron I� . Noyes. Gorman and Noyes were unanimously elected, the former because of his aptitude for putting a check on all Xoysie uprisings and half-Cooked debates, and the latter through his wonderful antipathy for holding on to money. 'Hie treasurer's report was accepted with thanks; the strong box was overflowing so that he had to open a bank account. A few events were placarded, at which the usual good times are expected. At an early hour Trenholm moved ad- journment to the dining-room. The Cambridge curfew was ringing when the weary lads wended their way homeward. --------------------------- IDass iDccthui ()n the morning of ()ctober 27 a mass meeting was held in Broadway field to practice cheers for the Malden game on the following day. ---------— ■ - jfootball Sono Dedicated to the football team of 1005, by H. 1’.

'09 24 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Christmas Christmas is here once more, telling us too plainly that another year is nearing its close. As civilization advances, this day seems to have some- thing of its real significance lost in the attendant festivities and revelry. It is well to make it a day of unrestrained joy and pleasure, but. at the same time, it is fitting to pause in the midst of our merry- making and think of Ilim whose birthday we honor. Christmas is far above any other holiday, and its origin should be borne in mind. However, we do not wish to preach a sermon, therefore we close, wishing you one and all a merry Christmas. K K K Close of tbe jfootball Season Taken as a whole, the season of 11)05 was a most successful one. The schedule was one of the most interesting in years, and though several schools cancelled their games in the early fall, the most im- portant contests came off smoothly. The manage- ment introduced a new feature in the form of sou- venir postals bearing the pictures of the players. iSurely Bergen Reynolds has fairly won himself a place with the best of the High School managers. Had Commins been anything but a masterful leader, lie would not have been the Boston Globe’s choice for captain of the all-interscholastic team. “Charlie” Cuddy has still retained his reputation of being one of the best, if not the best, coach in the league. His conservative plan was a great benefit, because lie seldom let the team show its full strength. K K K Olh Uronslbes Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte has certainly not increased his popularity bv proposing that the old frigate Constitution be used as a target for our modern armored warships. Such a proposition was quick to touch a sensitive chord in the patriot- ism of the people. Could the citizens of the United States stand by and see the last noble reminder of our first navy battered to pieces by the shells of the North Atlantic squadron? In making such a proposal, the present head of the navy department should have considered the sensation created in past years, when a similar pro- posal was made regarding the same gallant vessel. At that time the spirit of patriotism was so strong as to inspire the poet Holmes to place the immortal lines of “Old Ironsides” before the people. VVliat could better describe the present feeling than the first spirited lines of this poem?:— Ay, tear her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved on high. And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky.” The author then deplores the fact that “The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the sea.” But Mr. Bonaparte may perhaps feel protected in his feelingless proposal in the lines:— “O better that her shattered hulk Should sink beneath the wave; Her thunders shook the mighty deep, And there should be her grave.” We have not yet forgotten that memorable day when the Constitution sunk the Guerriere off Bos- ton harbor. And after the victory the good ship brought her prisoners to Boston. Boston was her birthplace. The old building wherein she was built still stands in Charlestown navy yard. We have not forgotten that time, not so many years ago, when, after a prolonged absence, the old frigate was finally towed back to the scenes of her younger days. The Constitution now lies peace- fully moored near the place where she was launched some hundred years ago. She is one of Boston’s most worthy children, and Boston, if not the whole United States, will stand by her through strife or peace. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2 5- mnitb Borotbtfe Bib H Christmas HEpIsobc J6y O. Evelyn Couscns. X., '06 OB BRAINARD looked up from his book and nodded his head lazily to the boy who entered, placed the even- ing mail on the table, and immedi- ately withdrew. After finishing his chapter, he threw his book carelessly into a chair, and. walking to the table, began to look over his evening mail. The first letter he opened and read: then he smiled and placed it in his pocket, while his thoughts were something like this: Dot is a nice girl, if she is my cousin, and I think I'll carry out her plan. It will be no harm, and will at least be one on Dick.” He took the letter once more from his pocket and re-read the last of it: You know I spent three weeks this summer with Mabel Ash- ton. and they have all talked so much about you. I heard Dick speak of you a great deal. too. They haven't the least idea that we are cousins. In fact, they think we are perfect strangers. Just for the fun of it. I thought I wouldn't explain, for you know Mrs. Ashton considers herself something of a matchmaker, and I think she has great plans for you and me. Dick is going to invite you to their home soon for the Christmas holidays, and I am to be there, too. Now. Bob, you will come, won't you? Just think of the fun. but remember, you have never met Your cousin. Dorothy. lie put the letter again in his pocket, and looked over the remainder of his mail in silence. The next afternoon Dick Ashton rushed into the room where Bob sat deep in study. Come, old man. you need a vacation: and the folks want me to bring you home with me for Christmas, so it’s de- cided, and we leave next Wednesday.” But-----” protested Bob. Come. now. no words about it : and say, Bob. my sister Mabel is at home now, and a friend of hers will be there that week, so you must come, be- cause—well—er—she’s a mighty nice girl. Bob, and you might—well—you'll come, won’t you?'' Yes, I guess I will, and thanks awfully for the invitation, but the girl.—what’s her name?” Dorothy Stanton, and with this he rushed out of the room to join his friends who were waiting for him outside. Wednesday night found the boys running up the stone steps in front of the Ashton house. 1 he cus- tomary greetings were exchanged, and Bob and Dorothy acknowledged the introduction as though they had never met before. During his visit Bob noticed that care was always taken that he should be Dorothy's escort wherever the young people chanced to go. One day towards the end of the week, while Bob and Dorothy happened to be alone for a few min- utes. Bob whisperingly confided to Dorothy that he thought Mabel Ashton was such a nice girl, much nicer than he had ever thought. She's a perfect dear. replied Dorothy, and I should just like to tell her we are cousins, because she wants so much to go to that dance with you to-morrow night, but I guess they think you and 1 have taken a great liking to each other, and—oh. Bob. isn't it dreadfully deceitful?” No. don't tell Mabel: not yet. anyway.” That night Mabel stopped her brother in the hall. She was silent a minute to be sure they were alone, then. Oh. Dick,” she said, do you think they like each other very, very much? with the least little sob in her voice. Certainly I do.” answered Dick quickly. But you aren’t sure, are you? in a very soft tone of voice. Of course I am sure. Where are your eyes, Mabel? and with that he turned and left her stand- ing alone in the hall. The next night they were to attend a dance given by a friend of Mrs. Ashton’s, and the next day the little party would break up. At the dance Bob was. as usual. Dot's escort, while Dick took his sis- ter Mabel, both girls being enveloped in long, red opera cloaks. Toward the end of the evening the dancing ! e- camc tedious, and Bob suggested that they go to the conservatory and plan how they could best tell the Ashtons of their relationship, so. slipping the red cloak over Dot’s shoulders. Bob led her out of the hall, and seeing two chairs in an obscure corner, they sat down. They had been listening t« the music a few minutes, when some one on the other side of the room called out, Where's Bob Brainard? Go and see what he wants, and I will stay here.” suggested Dot. So, promising to return in a mo- ment. he left her. It was a college friend of his. so of course the minute changed to several before he realized that lie had left Dot alone. So he quickly left his friend, and as lie passed the door of the hall he met Dick searching for something. What have you lost?” asked Bob. My sister. replied Dick, said she would be in the conservatory waiting for me; haven't seen her. have you? No, I haven't.” and just then he saw a youth entering the dance hall with a girl who looked surprisingly like Dot. Perhaps it was.” he thought, as he hurried toward the corner where he had ieft her. but no, there was the red cloak in the same place, and all alone, too. It was very dark, but he could see that it certainly was the red cloak. 26 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR He seated himself beside her and apologized. I'm so sorry. Dot: really. I didn't mean to stay so long. An old friend of mine, you know. No answer, so he continued. “And now, how on earth shall we tell the Ashtons that we are cousins?” What? came in a tone of surprise from the depths of the red cloak. That we are cousins,” repeated Bob. Something like a gasp escaped from the lips of his companion, but no word. And. you know. I told you what a mighty nice girl I thought Mabel Ashton was? (A slight shake of the head enveloped by the red cloak.) Well, first I want to find out if she cares for me in the same way. I know you say she does, but how can I really tell? At that moment Bob saw Dick Ashton approach- ing. and with him—it coudn't be—it—was—Dot! Bob uttered no word, but looked eagerly at the girl beside him. Mabel Ashton smiled up at him. and simply said. Well, why don't you ask her?” B IRace with IDeatb By? Ernest IQ. Cbapin, E., ’09 CE summer several years ago I was staying with my brother in Chicago. My brother is a tall, athletic man of about thirty-five years or so, and is a crank on automobiling. He is wealthy, and owns a dozen fine speci- mens of automobile perfection. Among these he numbers a beautiful French car. a ninety-horse- power Mercedes, which lie uses mostly in racing, a favorite sport with him in a small way. As I was a husky young chap of light weight, and about seventeen at that time, he often took me along as assistant in some of his races. It was with the intention of entering a big race soon to come off in Chicago that we were there. ()ne very hot afternoon shortly before this race, my brother said. Well. Kid (such he still calls me, despite my six feet and broad shoulders), let’s go out and cool off in the Daredevil.' What d’ you say ?” It was about three o’clock, and as there was nothing else to do. 1 assented. We made our way to the garage and took the car out. In the city we kept the speed down, but once outside the rush of traffic and on the state highway, we let her out a little and did some scorching. At two-thirds speed we tore down the road like mad. raising behind us a cloud of dust resembling a fog. and astonishing all beholders. In about half an hour, having reached the little town of B-----. twenty miles out of Chicago, white with dust, we pulled up at the railroad station. Carl stopped the motors, and we made an attempt to clean up by taking off our voluminous outer wrappings and beating them against the house. We then stepped inside to have a chat with the sta- tion master and rest a while before starting back. Gosh! remarked the official, “what kind of a' enjine d' yer call that? I thought 'twuz a cyclone fust.” Just a Mercedes racer,” said Carl with a non- chalant laugh. Mighty big one! How many boss-power? Ninety. Whew! ejaculated the man. half incredulous. “How fast can she go?” Bout a mile a minute without straining,” an- swered Carl, and 1 added, But that isn't a patch to some of the big cars, although they couldn't keep it up nearly as long as ours. Gosh!” again remarked the man expressively, looking at us as wonders from another sphere. Here the conversation lagged a bit. as my brother was fully occupied with his cigar, and I was scrutinizing a picture. The station master seemed to be mostly interested in alternately gazing at his big watch and out of the window. At last the anxious expression left his face, and then we heard the cause of his nervousness—a low mutter and the sound of a whistle up the track. As the mutter grew and increased to a roar, we stepped outside to see the Twentieth Century Limited Express on the way to Chicago tear by with a shriek of its whistle and a rattling clatter of wheels and rails, disappear- ing in a cloud of dust and smoke 'round the curve a mile away. Just then the station master rushed out of the building with a white face and frightened eyes, shouting. Stop her! Stop her! For Heaven's sake, stop her! Aghast, he saw the train was already out of sight, but he rallied when Carl directed a piercing glance at him and asked, What's the matter, man? Quick!” A freight train has been wrecked up the line fifteen mile! They're telegraphin' for help with a reg’lar wire broken! Come on. Kid! was all my brother said, but he sprang to the car and had cranked and started the engine before I could get in. Then, with a cough and a gasp, our beautiful machine sprang into action, and we tore down the road like a wild beast. Notch after notch Carl let out the big throttle, until houses, trees, fences, and pedestrians flew bv in one unceasing, streaming panorama. The de- lightful. awful exhilaration of that ride was some- thing 1 cannot describe. The throbbing and trembling of our engines; the awful speed with which we ate up the miles; the straight, white road extending before us and seem- ing to invite us to go faster, faster, ever faster, and the knowledge that we were racing with the fastest train in the country and attempting to save it from SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 27 destruction, all lent a thrill and excitement to that ride which makes it indelible in my memory even now. C )ncc or twice a team or a person got in the way ahead, but one awful yell from our big steam horn hurried it off the road in short order, and we con- tinued our desperate race undelayed. After about ten miles of this terrific rate of travel, the road took a bend to the left and came out on an open plain beside the railroad track. As we drew near this turn, we discerned the Flyer almost a mile ahead of us, and “goin’ like a streak o’ greased lightnin’. To take the curve at the rate we were going was certainly hazardous, but Carl merely said, “Hang out!” and I. taking hold of the leather strap for that purpose, leaned as far out as I could. As the machine received the sudden twist of the wheel and made that quick turn, it lurched over on two wheels and threatened to capsize, but by violent exertions on our part the balance was kept, and we sped on after the Flyer. “Hold tight!” yelled Carl, as, with an ominous click of the throttle, lie turned on the last ounce of power in the machine : the reserve force he had held back for the final supreme struggle. The car responded valiantly, seeming almost alive. With a snort and a quiver, '‘Daredevil” made his last and greatest spurt. YVc were now running at the highest speed, yet the machine worked as smoothly and easily as at a regular pace, although with much more noise in the form of a steady hum on one continuous tone. The train was jogging along at about sixty miles an hour, but we must have gone seventy or eighty, for slowly, but surely, we gained ground on it. With a sudden inspiration, I leaned over and. un- hooking the sheet-iron cover of our engine, threw it overboard. Relieved of this weight, slight as it was. the car bounded forward faster than ever, leaving behind it a cloud of dust and smoke which rivaled that of the train. That final race was short and decisive. Inch by inch, foot by foot, our magnificent motor drew up on the rushing, roaring train until, with a de- moniacal tooting of our steam horn, we came up alongside the express, and managed to .call attention to our wild gestures, after shouting at the tops of our voices, and furiously waving a red flag given us by the station master. The conductor gazed at us from the platform in indecision a moment, but finally, reaching up, gave the bell rope a short, sharp pull. The whistle shrieked, the brakes ground on the wheels, sparks flew, and with a roar and a jolt the train came to a standstill.—just as our machine stopped, with a gurgle and a sigh. The conductor, engineer, and several passengers leaped from the train and came toward us—two unkempt mortals covered with dust, our faces cut by flying stones, sitting in a big. dirty, odoriferous automobile that had chased the Twentieth Century Limited Express fifteen miles in twelve min- utes. What do you mean by stopping us this way?” indignantly demanded the conductor. We’ve chased you fifteen miles to tell you how you were running to destruction. Just you go 'round that hill forward and see what they tele- graphed to B---------. just as you passed, replied Carl quietly. We all proceeded to the scene of action, and there saw how narrowly the express had escaped. Apparently the freight train had come ‘round the hill at a high rate of speed, and had struck some obstacle, for there were some cars piled up on a broken bridge over a gully, and others, derailed, lay across the track in a hopeless wreck. The news quickly spread, and we were praised for our noble deed, and all that sort of thing., you know: hut finally, after having had our names taken a score or so of times, and gently refusing two or three small fortunes from grateful passen- gers. we managed to make our escape to Chicago, glad enough to get off so easily. In the great race later we did not beat, but came out fourth, with the time of the ten miles in eight minutes, forty-three seconds. This was due to the superior horse-power of our competitors; perhaps partly also to the severe strain we put on the car in the incident I have just related The winner was a 100-horse-powcr Winton, Streak.” of Pittsburg, doing the course in six minutes, forty seconds. But our defeat was softened by the knowledge that, with the aid of our car. we had done a noble deed: we had saved the Twentieth Century Limited Express from sure destruction, and won the gratitude and appreciation of all America.

Unlike most bosses, lie was well educated, though he had raised himself by mere force of will and the most corrupt practices to a position where, without holding any public office, he was. perhaps, the most powerful man in the state. For a decade he had ruled his city with a rod of iron, crushing mercilessly every opponent. His dependents were of every rank and station, from the great railroad magnate who controlled thousands of men to the most ignorant laborer just over from Europe. A man. flashily dressed, sleek of face, with cun- ning. deceitful eyes.—a typical grafter in appear- ance.—entered the room. Oh. hullo. Bolts, how's that little scheme of ours at the capitol coming on?” was his greeting from the boss. “Fine: there’s a barrel of money in it for us. but we need a good man up there to keep things straight. Some of the country members may bolt at the last moment.” Well, this will be a good chance to try young Brewster. I’m afraid he’s a little too particular for our business. He came near scratching our ticket at the last election, and I suspect that he is the leader of the movement against me. To tell the truth. I don’t like the idea of having him for a son- in-law. Suppose you call him up on the 'phone. Bolts, and ask him to step in here. I’ll find out just where he stands.” A few moments later David Brewster, the fiance of Innixham’s daughter Ellen, appeared on the scene. He was a young man, not much over twenty-five, but already a power in city politics, lie was a good stump speaker, and in the past had always worked zealously for the interests of his party, but was a little too independent to please the leaders of the party. 1 believe that you wish to see me. Mr. Innix- ham. Yes: how’d you like to manage that traction company bill of ours at Albany? All you’d have to do would be to roam around the capitol and casu- ally drop bank notes on the desks of the members who are opposed to our bill. snccringly remarked the lx ss. “Mr. Innixham. I thought you knew me well enough to know that I will engage in no such deals. Do you refuse my offer? Yes. sir. firmly replied the young man. Well, you know the alternative: either leave the city or defeat me in the convention. And I’ll tell you another thing, young man. you can’t marry my daughter until you do defeat me, said the boss sternly. 1 won’t have to wait long, then. was the retort. The day of the convention was at hand. The great hall was filled with such a motley mass of human beings as a great city alone could produce. The machine delegates, mere hirelings of the boss, were composed of ward-heelers, saloon-keepers, corpulent aldermen, and the like. Scattered over the hall were little groups of reform delegates, al- most lost in the huge crowd, who had opposed the boss in vain for the last decade, but were still fight- ing onward bravely. The leader of the reform element was David Brewster, who for the last six months had been de- voting all his energies to fighting the machine. As lie looked over the great hall, a feeling of dis- couragement came over him: for he knew that if defeated he would meet his death politically, and perhaps lose his bride. But the sight of Ellen smiling down upon him from the gallery, inspired him with hope. The first ballot was taken. The machine candi- date for mayor had nearly obtained a majority. The reformers were in despair. Suddenly a delegate rose to his feet and spoke. The time has come for the downfall of bossism in this city. VV’c need a man for mayor who will be strong, honest, and able, instead of this disgrace to humanity we are asked to vote for.—a man who will cleanse the city of vice, and make it the clean- est. as well as the greatest, city in America. Such a man is our young friend, David Brewster, whom I propose to the convention as a candidate for mayor. This speech was received with uproarious ap- plause by all who preferred honest government to the tyrannical rule of the boss. The applause con- tinued for more than ten minutes, amidst cries of Ballot! Ballot! Give us a chance to vote! “We want Brewster! and the like. The second ballot was taken amidst scenes of the wildest enthusiasm. It was a landslide for the re- formers. and Brewster was nominated by an over- whelming majority. A few hours later the ex-boss strolled into Brew- ster's down-town office, much to the latter’s sur- prise. ' You’ve finished me, young man. I’ve got enough money saved up to live without having con- tributions taken up for my benefit, but 1 won’t amount to much in this burg after to-day. You can marry my daughter now. all right, but the question is. what am I going to do? It seems to me, Mr. Innixham. that you’re not looking very well. I think a trip to Europe would do you a great deal of good. And what if 1 don’t choose to go? There arc very comfortable quarters waiting for you in the county jail which will be ready for your occupancy in about a week, where you can be the guest of the state for several years.” He went to Europe. .16V?

TGUlltam ii.-� . flDarsball, 3r., as., '07 y mother lias often told me a story which describes one of the few instances in which the dusky aboriginal casts aside his stolid demeanor in order to per- form what his paleface brethren term a joke. My mother, at the time of the story. July. 1882, was living in Yankton, S. D.. and the Yankton reservation was about twenty-five miles distant. The Indians this year, as was their custom, were to give a parade in Yankton, and the redoubtable chieftain. Sitting Hull, who at this time was confined in the reservation prison, was. the In- dians claimed, to be allowed to lead the procession. A week before the appointed time a cloud of dust was seen in the distance., and while the citizens of Yankton were yet pondering on whether it was a dust storm or a cyclone, the Indians crossed the creek on the outskirts of Yankton, by the little bridge, hirst came mounted warriors, two on a pony, while their squaws brought up the rear on foot, carrying little, plump puppies with great care, but leaving their little children to trudge along as best they could. They all went to an old camping ground, and, riding in a circle, each erected his tepee, making a kind of spiral design of tents. It was noticeable that the squaws did all the work. The camp soon had all the activity of a camp cf six months. Squaws were cooking pancake after pancake, and erecting huge piles by their sides, old braves were squatting in front of their tepees, smoking their pipes and watching with no small in- terest the preparation for supper, papooses smiled contentedly from their stations at the door of the tent, and the children gamboled about, as if Yankton had been the scene of their playground for months. From this time until the Fourth the camp was thronged with numerous visitors, bent on observing the aboriginal engaged in his household affairs. ()nc visitor, who was perhaps one of those people who are invariably interested in anything in the eatable line, observing a warrior eating something with evident satisfaction, inquired what it might be. Whereupon the Indian responded, Dog—good.” and generously invited his interrogator to have some. but. needless to say. this student of nutri- ments did not feel inclined to add this tempting morsel to his probably extensive list. Evidently the squaw’s puppies were intended for more pur- poses than a household pet. As the fourth of July drew near, preparations were made for the parade. Soon old braves were seen squatting before pieces of broken looking glass and painting themselves in all the designs their imagination could devise. The squaws were pre- paring the dress of the little boys, or young braves, as they are called, which consists of a short, square- cut jacket, embroidered with colored porcupine quills, and pantaloons tight-fitting above the knee, but becoming loose and baggy at the ankle. One old brave possessed a pair of sons of whom he was particularly proud. They were dressed in short, cut-away jackets of fine buckskin, designed beauti- fully with stained porcupine quills, and their panta- loons were extra well made, having fringe along the seams: they had complete head-dresses of eagle feathers, and attached to the back of each jacket was a piece of cloth about four inches wide, making them look like little monkeys. Every night the Indians had a war dance in their camp, and the dull sound of their tom-tom could be heard at a very late hour in the night. At last the day of the parade arrived, and with it came ranchers and farmers from all the country ’round. And the Indians did not require them to wait very long, for early in the forenoon, through crowds of people, they moved down the main street of Yankton. At the head of the procession was a bull gaily decorated with gorgeous ribbons of all colors from head to tail. Next came the old chief of the Sioux tribe, at least a hundred years old. painted a paris green color, and dancing like a boy of sixteen. Following came the warriors of the tribe, painted in all the colors of the rainbow: at the end of the procession came squaws looking after their puppies with great care, and the young braves with their cloth tails. Hut now it was no- ticed that Sitting Hull was nowhere to be seen, an I the crowd now demanded a sight of him. but they could get no information as to his whereabouts from the Indians in the rear, except in such phrases as. You see fine Sitting Hull soon,” and Him come quick. which was only sufficient to arouse their curiosity. Meanwhile the vanguard, with the bull, had ar- rived in the camp, and preparations were made for the reception of the crowd. 'I he bull was made to assume a sitting posture, and a lx x was placed near by to serve as a platform. By this time the rear of the procession, with the curious people, had come to camp, the latter clamoring for a sight of Sitting Bull. At this moment an Indian, mounted the box, and. motioning gracefully towards the reclining quadruped, said in solemn tones. This is Sitting Hull.

For the benefit of those who may not know, we will say that the championship has been settled as a tie. although, should a question arise calling for a definite champion. Somerville would have the call, having won the championship the two preceding years. We also have more points to our credit than Rindge, excepting the Dorchester game, which, however, was forfeited before it was played, and was •on that account only an exhibition game. If it hadn't been for that far-fetched decision of Umpire Page's on Thanksgiving day. concerning Driscoll, we would undoubtedly have had another Rindge scalp adorning our trophy room. Our goal line was not crossed by a high school team this year, nor did a ball booted by a high school toe pass through the uprights which our team so successfully defended. Jarvis' beautiful tackle of Park, when he saved the day for the Red and P lue, was easily the feature of the game. Some of his runs were great, too. Driscoll. Commins. Hall. Graves, and Baldwin were conceded positions on one all-scholastic team or another, while Henderson and Jarvis made good on the second teams. Is there another school can show up like that? I wonder what would have happened to Rindge if we had played them on October 28? Everybody should read Charles Cuddy’s article in the Somerville Journal of December 15. There is one body of football players who deserve the highest credit. This is the second team. Throughout the season they play with the first eleven and bear the brunt of the first team's train- ing. All honor to the second team. Do we realize how finely we are cared for in our high school athletics by the city?

In the second league game of the series, Somer- ville defeated English high. ( - ). The game was hard-fought throughout, and English High proved a tough proposition. In this game Driscoll showed himself to be far and above the best school fullback of the year. He alone carried the ball from the 30- yard line bv terrific plunges, first on one side of the line, then on the other, until he was pushed over for the only touchdown of the day. English gained most of her ground on end- around runs, which time and again yielded from twenty-five to thirty-five yards. There was no scoring in the first half, although Somerville had the ball on English High's 5-yard line when the half ended, and would have pushed it over in a minute more. In the second half English High kicked off. Somerville was held, and punted. English High worked the end-around for thirty yards, and on the next play tried for a goal, but the try was blocked. Somerville got possession of the ball on English High's 35-yard line, and from there Driscoll rushed it over for a touchdown. Hall kicked the goal. Somerville kicked to English High, who soon punted to Cuddy, who ran it fifteen-yards. Jarvis circled the end for thirty, and Y. Henderson made SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3 1 five.

For Somerville, Graves. Driscoll, and Cuddy were not in the game, and this, combined with the leniency of the referee, kept Somerville from rolling up a larger score. No scoring was done in the first half, punting being much in evidence, while Dorchester was penalized six times. Hardly a rush was there but that their men were offside and interfered with Quarterback Jarvis before the ball was in play. In the second half Somerville kicked to Dor- chester. who fumbled it.

Members of the Rbulge and English High teams were among the spectators. The cheering, also, was about the finest of the year, and the players re- sponded to the best of their ability. The first touchdown was made by Driscoll, after fierce plunges by Driscoll, Commins. Baldwin, 11 all, Twohig, and Bowlby. In a similar manner the next touchdown was made by Young, who took the place of Driscoll, who. with White, of Waltham, had been ruled out for slugging. 1 lall kicked a hard goal. Just before time was called in the second half, Bowlby circled Waltham’s right end and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Shortly after this Jarvis made thirty yards on a quarterback run.

Somerville and Rindge fought out their annual contest, which, like many a former, was for the championship, on Broadway field Thanksgiving Day morning. Somerville should feel lucky that their goal line was not crossed, for it certainly looked bad for us when Driscoll was so unsatisfactorily sent to the side lines. Park kicked to Baldwin, who fumbled it. a Rindge man getting it. Somerville held for downs, and after three tushes punted to her 45-yard line. Somerville again held, and on a tandem play Bald- win made eight, Driscoll, four, and Bowlby. six. After an exchange of punts, Jarvis made a sensa- 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR tional run of forty yards. Twohig made twenty, and Bowlby ten. On Rindge’s 20-vard line Twohig fell while Jar- vis was in the act of passing the ball, and Rindge secured it. This, coupled with the ruling off of Driscoll, took the heart out of the team, and al- though they played a good enough game to keep Rindge from scoring, they didn’t have the dash and spirit that has so often characterized them. After an exchange of punts. Rindge steadily moved down the field, and was dangerously near our goal when time was called. In the second half Hall kicked to Park, who soon punted. It was then a series of punts, until Park, who. aided bv the wind, was getting the best of the argument, punted behind our goal line. Hall punted out to Park, who ran right through the Somerville team, and had but Jarvis between him and a touchdown, victory, and championship, but our little quarterback nailed so hard that it laid him out for a wliilp. Baldwin soon got the ball on a fumble, and after another exchange of punts, Somerville seemed to wake up. and fierce line plunges, aided by long runs by Twohig and Jarvis, were fast taking the ball towards the Rindge goal, when the whistle blew, and with it the season closed. Rindge’s team undoubtedly reached its climax that day. while Somerville's comparatively poor playing was due to the crippled condition of many of her men. The summary:— RINDGE. SOMERVILLE.

Business is dull, and we have been obliged to discharge some of our most efficient employees.” At last the busy day came to a close, as all days must, and Vera Hastings passed out and mingled with the throng of working people who were hurry- ing homeward. No one was waiting at home for her, why should she hurry onward? Wrapped in meditation, she walked slowly along. Her thoughts flitted back to her childhood, spent in a little New England village, amongst the hills. Well did she remember one bright May morning, when, standing on the porch, with her hand clasped in her mother's, she bade good-by to her father. He. with many others who had been seized with the gold fever, was bound for the far-away Alaskan gold fields. The years moved on. No news of the loving father reached the little country home, and mother and daughter were obliged to seek a home in the city. There, with their combined efforts, they had eked out a scanty living. Years arc but moments in the brain, and another scene passed before her. Again she stood with her hand in her mother’s, but this time for the last. The sorrowing woman was slowly passing through the portal of death, leaving her daughter friendless and alone in a great city. The scene faded, and with a sigh Vera thought of the many weary years that had elapsed since that scene had taken place. The passers-by cast curious glances at her as she passed along the crowded thoroughfare, seemingly unaware of her surroundings. Suddenly a gentle- man stopped, hesitated a moment, and then said to her: Pardon me. your face reminded me of one I have been searching for for over a year. Do you happen to know of a lady by the name of Mrs. Hastings?” A great throb of hope stirred in Vera's breast. Could this stranger be her father, returned after many years? But she put that thought aside, knowing that there were many families by the name of Hastings in that great city. I am Vera Hast- ings,” she said. The stranger cast a searching glance over her face. Then, in a stiffed voice, he said, “I have found my own.” Her face unmistakably proved to him that she was his daughter Vera. Briefly he told his story. Since that bright May morning so many years ago. when he bade good-by to mother and daughter, fate had played strange tricks with him. A terrible fever, faithful friends, wealth beyond his greatest hopes all had come to him in far-away Alaska. But the hardships of that cold and barren country held no attractions for him once he had realized the wealth that he sought for the loved ones at home. With a heart filled with gladness, he left the gold fields for home. I le reached the little country house, only to find it inhabited by strangers, who told him that long since his wife and daughter had removed to a distant city. He had searched long and faithfully, and now, after many days, he had found his long-sought-for daughter. The crowd surged onward, intent on its own business, and not one knew that in its very midst a father had found his own. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 '0(3 Gabriel Farrell. Jr.. Class Editor.

When in 1902 as Freshmen we looked far ahead to 1900, the distance seemed enormous, but now as Seniors we look back, and the whole four years seem but as one grand, long year.

But so far anarchy has been found tolerable by both ourselves and our pompous neighbors of '07. The only plausible reason for this is that we are odd classes.

Since our last sensational notice, we have a start- ling announcement to make to our numerous ad- mirers. One new member has been admitted within our hallowed precincts. The latest victim is James F. Couch, late of Chauncy I Iall School, of Boston. The new acquisition is to be congratu- lated upon his admirable selection of a fraternal brotherhood. We can say and say truthfully that the F. H. P. stands in a class by itself. Hallowe’en night was suitably celebrated bv the club, who met at The Maples. The organization recently added to its collection of laurels by its able production of a Christmas play. It was a screamingly funny farce, entitled The Night Before.” Father” Baker was the delight of the gallery gods” in his able impersonation of Santa Claus. The Bowlbv brothers as the Heavenly Twins came in for their share of lime light, while Graves. Reed, and Knight, disguised as snow-sprites, merited no end of ap- plause. Couch, in the role of janitor, swept every- thing before him. The large and exclusive audi- ence was immensely pleased with the royal enter- tainment. and the club regrets to inform its patrons that the popular comedy cannot be repeated. IResoluttons, Xatfn, 0(3 hercas, by the divine will of Providence, our esteemed classmate, Mark Rice, has been bereaved of his brother; and hereas. we. the class of 1900, have learned with deep sorrow of his great loss: we hereby tender resolutions of our sincere sympathy to him.

Gamma lEta fcappa The night of December 4 was the first meeting for the new ticks, and also a red-letter night for the unfortunate individual who did not accompany his six other comrades in misery to Lynnficld on the previous Friday. The initiation and business meet- ing served to increase the appetites of the sixteen ravenous members. Therefore, when the dinner bell rang, no one needed a second call, but fell upon the delicious morsels which their host. Ned Twohig, had so invitingly set before them. Not until the last drop of ice cream had disappeared down the spacious throat of “Bit Coan did the gorging cease. The next morning beheld a well-filled band of fraters tripping gaily homeward.

The English School girls' team defeated the girls’ team from Stoneham High, 18-2. Other games have been arranged, and the prospects are fairly good for a successful season.

Soon after the shades of evening had stealthily enveloped this little town, young people could be seen to stop at the sign of the pumpkin at 37 Sar- gent avenue, hesitate, and enter. Soon a goodly party of ten was assembled, and then the fun began. The K. P. C. Club arc no mean entertainers, and once started, things were kept humming until the cold, gray dawn of the next morning caught a few tired, but happy, merry- makers hurrying homeward. The customary Hallowe’en games were enjoyed the first of the evening, and later the water and toothpicks were partaken of to such an extent that such remarks as stuffed to the top,” couldn't touch another thing. etc., were the common order.

Nineteen hundred and six is here at last with all its good resolutions and promises. The Seniors have been waiting long for this year— their year—to come. But now that it is here are they satisfied? Why do the Seniors hesitate to reply? Can it be that they are thinking of the steadily diminishing space between now and gradu- ation that will take them from these schools for- ever? Surely this cannot be the reason: forare these not the same students who four years ago looked forward so longingly for nineteen six to come.' You have vour desire at last, Seniors; be satisfied; remember that time and tide wait for no man. At least there ought not to be many mistakes made in writing dates; for have not the present Seniors been practicing writing naughty six.” for the last three years? Well, Seniors, make the best of the time remain- ing in which you may write those respected class numerals. And. Juniors, why do you stand look- ing on us so jealously? Let us enjoy this last year in school alone, and in peace. Your time will come only too soon. The underclassmen, too. look up at us with wondering eyes, as though they did not fully appreciate the fact that in the near future they will be repeating the very words we utter now. Yes. schoolmates, naught six’s days here are num- bered Wc may be growing cynical with age. but we have not long to remain with you, so be patient and do not disturb our fretful dreams.—the dreams of old age. XU anti mi In obtaining material for the last two editions of the Raihatok we had much unnecessary trouble regarding time. To one unaccustomed to the task of publishing a magazine, however small, time might appear to be of secondary importance. But it is of very great importance. On several occasions we have been obliged to omit articles offered for publication in our columns for the sole reason that they were submitted too late. Now if you will stop a moment and think you will find it just as easy to be prompt as to be late. Therefore, t«. avoid further misunderstanding regarding this subject, the following rule will be laid before you:— All stories, poems, and fraternity notes must be handed to Miss Merrill of the English or Miss Pratt of the Latin School on or before the first Thursday of every month, providing there are not five Thursdays in that month. The department editors must have their notes ready for correction on the same dates we have specified. If these rules are followed it will relieve the editor of the responsibility of collecting the mate- rial at the “eleventh hour. We wish to remind the members of the staff, class editors included, to attend the meetings held ii the Latin School on the first Monday of the school month. K Ifievicw of 1905 .Nineteen hundred and five has been a year of disclosures. The greatest of these has been the strength and intellect revealed by the Japanese in their recent war with Russia. Another disclosure which threatens disaster to the present method of ruie in Russia is that the peasants are beginning to understand and use their real power that has been so long concealed under the mantle of ignorance. Two more subjects of interest to our nation are the startling disclosures of corruption in the important life insurance companies, and of the strong public sentiment against football as it is now played. Still another healthful manifestation has been the revolt of the people from the rule of lxisses—the disclosure that this country is still a democracy.

K 1)onor for tbc iRaOtator Many times has the Radiator received flattering compliments from her supporters and contempora- ries. This time, however, she has gained honor through a member of the present board of editors. It was recently announced in a local paper that Gabriel barrell, Jr., was the modest possessor of several medals awarded for saving life. Had it no GABRIEL FARRELL. JR. been for this announcement the greater part of the student body would still be ignorant of the pres- ence of a hero in their midst, for “Gabc” is not one of those who heralds his prowess to the world. Therefore, the K xdiator, in behalf of her staff and subscribers, desires to congratulate the class editor of Latin, '00. r •� r designation of Mr. SHcfterman By the resignation of Quincy E. Dicker man. the school board loses one of its most efficient members, and a career of unprecedented length has been brought to a close. Since 1SS0 Mr. Dickerman has been an active member of the board, and in all that twenty-six years of office lie has seldom missed a meeting. The Somerville High .Schools desire to show their apprecia- tion for Mr. Dickerman’s services through the Radi a ton. One way in which he has displayed much interest in the high schools is shown by his advocating systematic training in gymnastics, in a gwnnasium, with a competent instructor, where the girls as well as the boys of the high schools may en- joy the advantages of physical culture. He also believes that the school year should not begin earlier than the second Monday in September, mak- ing that a starting point, and arranging the shorter vacations as may be found expedient. Mr. Dicker- man’s record has been one of noble service for us, and he leaves us with our best wishes. it it at n In flfccmoriam It is with deep sorrow that we record the sudden death of a former Latin School teacher. Mrs Grant, whom many of us knew as Miss Florence Paul, was stricken with apoplexy and survived but a few hours. I ler death came as a great shock; for although slu had not been connected with the Latin School for two years her memory is still fresh in out minds. The classes of ’OS and ’09 cannot fully share our sorrow, as they were not acquainted with Miss Paul, but to those of us who knew her there was never a more faithful member of the Latin School faculty. Death reaches not a spirit such as thine,— It can but steal the robe that hid thy wings; Though thy warm breathing presence we resign. Still in our hearts its loving semblance clings.” The funeral was held at Newtonville, on Janu- ary 9, and among the floral tributes was a remem- brance from the Latin School faculty. « « H Xost S av Xx 10a db.

Pierre Joins the Rebels X the Island of Luzon, on the shore of Laguna dc Bay, is the little Filipino village of Calamba. It is far from being a beautiful town, in fact it is extremely dreary. The town hall, which appeared ready to fall down was used as a sugar shed. Nearly all the land within the jurisdiction of Calamba was owned by the Dominican order, into whose possession it had come through numerous law intrigues, allowing debts by the natives, and taking | ossession of the land because the latter could not pay up. In the Philippines before the American occupation the friars generally had their own way. and their arro- gance was one cause of the Filipino revolt to the Spanish rule. The plaza in Calamba was more spacious than beautiful; it had evidently been finely planned at first, as the barely discernible paths shewed, but now grass and weeds, the latter in great abundance, usurped the ground. Here were gathered several villagers, as it was here that the country gossij s commented on their neighbor’s affairs, and discussed incidents of public importance. The crowd now assembled was a pic- turesque one the natives arrayed in white suits, as they had come in to market, and evidently adorned in their best. Their conversation centred on one person. Pmmtc Logan, who seemed to be ex- tremely popular. I think Pierre is going to join the rebels. said Juan Pombro, a well-built, though short. ] erson of about eighteen years of age. And a just cause will be his. I only hope that the government will not get him. Pierre is a good boy. said an elderly man known because of his benevolence to the younger people as Father Pedro. His father was not a Spaniard, but an American, and Pierre has in- herited all that is good in that nation. He has none of the qualities of a Spaniard ; he is merciful to the suffering, helpful to the poor, and honest.— such arc unknown in a Spaniard. How do you know lie is going to join the rebels? broke in a third man. with a murderous looking visage, called Ventura Ramttez. I went by his house yesterday and stopped in. but he didn’t seem to be making any preparations to leave then. His brother John told me this morning, when he gave me some sugar to take to market,” replied Juan. I would that there were more like him to fight for such a cause,” said a man named Scnor Cas- pera, who had once been quite well-to-do. but had lost his entire estate through a law intrigue that was concocted for the occasion by a grasping Alcalde. 'T hope with you, Juan, that the authori- ties will not get him, and I think you were unwis ■ to have tohl it so openly here, as it might reach the ears of the Alcalde.” I suppose you infer that 1 shouldn’t have been hete,” sai l the murderous individual, but as 1 am. and moreover, as I have no cause to love Pierre. I shall speak as I like. So saying he departed. Juan. I’m afraid Pierre will be taken, as that rascal will go direct to the Alcalde and tell what he has heard. said Scnor Caspera. “If some one might procure a fresh and swift pony a person might reach Pierre, and tell him of his danger in time for him to make good his es- cape, remarked Father Pedro. “I have a friend a short way out on the main road, and as the police will not start an investiga- tion until th� s evening, there will be time enough. If someone will volunteer. I will give him a note to my friend.” I will,” said Juan, “ I am very sorry to have disclosed what I did in such company, and I will do what I can to retrieve it. Scnor Caspera wrote the note and Juan, mount- ing the tired pony which he had already ridden into market that morning, rode the short distance to Caspera s friend. Here he obtained a fresh horse, leaving his own behind. He rode hard, heedlessly exposing himself to the tropical sun shining mercilessly down upon him; he thought of nothing but of how he had betrayed his friend. But although he did not fear the sun. nevertheless i' had its eff ect on him, and soon he was reeling in the saddle: the trees, the fences, and the houses seemed like moving objects to his dizzy brain. His good horsemanship alone kept him from falling from his saddle, as he reeled from side to sid. Mile after mile he sped along awaking peasants from their noon-flay siestas bv the noisy clatter of his horse's hoofs. But soon the horse began to show signs of fatigue, and often slowed up into a walk, only to be urged on faster by its impatient rider. At last when both horse and rider were nearly spent, they arrived at the Logan plantation Pierre i.ogan was the son of John Logan, an American who left his native country for some reason as yet undiscovered by the village gossips. He had married the daughter of a wealthy Span- iard and had inherited a large estate. He had two sons, Pierre, the eldest, named after his father-in- law and John, the youngest, his own namesake. The boys were of entirely different natures: Pier.c, with a Spanish name, was decidedly American in his tastes, and John, with an American name, was wholly Spanish in his ideas. They were engaged in earnest conversation when they were interrupted by Juan’s approach. The latter, dismounting from his horse, went reel- ing to the door, where he fell in a heap. He was borne inside bv Pierre and his brother, and was SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 47 soon revived bv the use of cold water. He came to with a start, and by his glaring, wild eyes it was plain he had gone partially insane. “Oh, why did I tell him. win did 1 tell him. he exclaimed. Tell who? asked Pierre. ''Ranine?’: I told him you were going to join the rebel‘s, and he told the Alcalde. Oil, why didn’t I keep silent! 'll what he has said is true,” said Pierre to his brother, we will have the police on us very soon. And mv best course is to Ik e. Yes. said Juan, go quickly, the police will be here by this evening, and you have not a minute to lose. Our line estate will be confiscated.” said John, sorrowfully, and we. if we escajie Spanish justice, it it can be called such, will be no better off than the poorest Chinese coolie. Put, said Pierre while collecting his things, “there is a rumour that the Americans have de- clare� 1 war against Spain, and such being the case, they will probably send forces to the Philippines, which in conjunction with us will undoubtedly conquer. P.y this time he had gathered all that he thought necessary, consisting of a Mauser rifle, a cartridge belt with a hundred cartridges, a small stock of provisions, a change of clothing, and a blanket. W ith these he departed, and mounting his ponv. soon disappeared, eventually joining General Xoriel's forces. Towards the close of the day the police arrived, and their anger knew no lxmnds when they found that Pierre had escaped. Put John remained and they let out then spite on him: they manacled him and compelled him to walk the entire distance to Santa ruz. the capital of the province of La Laguna, where the prison is located. Here he was prompth locked up with numerous other | oliii cal prisoners. The estate was confiscated and declared government property. CHAPTER 11. Pierre Finds a Cousin The battle of Manila had taken place, and the victorious Americans were in complete | osscsssion of the city ; the insurgents, whose aid was more a hindrance than a help to the operations of the American army, had by force of arms been kept from entering the city, where they expected to plant their flag and plunder their former oppres- sors. This produced a feeling of resentment in tin- Filipinos, who now regarded their allies in the light which the Spaniards had formerly held them. Friendship was now turned to hatred and was soon to become open enmity. l he Spanish had evacuated the greater part of the island, or been forced to by the insurgents, and concentrated their forces in Manila. Among the provinces which the insurgents held was that of La Laguna, where they immediately released the prisoners confined in the prison at Santa Cruz, and John soon after regained possession of his estate. Pierre’s services were no longer requisite to the insurgents, and he obtained leave of absence to visit ins brother. He was walking leisurely down the road, when he heard voices just beyond a turn in the road, and those talking evidently heard him, as one exclaimed, Hark. Jose, someone ap- proaches. lint Jose did not hear Pierre, and as- sured his companion that his fears were ground- less. but they agreed to make sure. Meanwhile Pierre had got behind a tree; at first he was going to walk on as if nothing had happened and meet the persons, whoever they were, for he did not relish eavesdropping, but his quick ears had heard his own name mentioned, and he concluded to stay and hear what they had to say. The search satis lied Jose and his companion that there was no one within earshot, as they had not found Pierre’s hid- ing place, so they resumed their conversation. This revealed to Pierre that the Logan men- tioned was not himself, but an officer in the American lines. Lieutenant Logan. It appears that this officer had been stationed at one of the en- trances to the city with orders not to permit the in- surgents to enter; he had been compelled to threaten the Filipinos with loaded rifles when they had tried to enter, and consequently they were deeply enraged, the lieutenant being the butt of their anger. Jose’s companion was the captain of a guerrilla band, and his men were among those stopped by the lieutenant. Jose through some means had got intelligence that Lieutenant L-ogan was to be sent to Malacanan with despatches the following evening. Instead of going by the Pasig river. Lieutenant Logan’s detachment were to go by the road ; the guerrillas were to meet him in an ambush on the road, and there attack him. With a parting injunction not to fail to be at the ap- pointed place the next evening. Jose and the cap- tain parted. Pierre was perplexed. It di l not seem right to him at first o betray his countrymen, for Jose and the captain were both insurgents, and yet he did not like the idea of having that American killed. L'pon considering what was to be gained in case the insurgents were successful in their project, he concluded that they would be more harmful than beneficial. Were not the Americans very | owcrful' Had they not taken Manila with a Spanish army larger than their own. and would they not wreak vengeance on the insurgent arim if these others were successful in their attack on the lieutenant’s party? Thus reasoning he decided that the best |x licy would be to inform the Ameri- cans of their danger. He accordingly went back to Manila, and was promptly stopped by a sentry. When he had told his mission the sentry left him, and returned in a few minutes and ushered him into Lieutenant Logan’s presence. 1 hear you have intelligence of importance for me. said Lieutenant Logan in good Spanish, which he had learned at West Point. Yes, replied Pierre in equally good Engli-h, which his father had taught him. “it is of very great importance, ami chiefly concerns yourself. The lieutenant was dumfounded. Where had this native learned English? Put he recovered himself and asked: What is it?’’ 48 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Pierre then told him of his meeting the captain and Jose, and of the ambush planned for the lieu- tenant and his party. After Pierre had finished Logan asked: How- on earth did you learn English so well: Whv. there are many in the States that can't speak half as well! M father taught me, answered Pierre. “And who was your father? asked the Lieu- tenant. John Logan. replied Pierre. John------who? John Logan, repeated Pierre. hut he surely wasn't a Spaniard, was he? That isn't a Spanish name.” o. he was an American, born in Auburndalc. Maine. replied 'Pierre, wondering what prompted such, curiosity on the part of the lieutenant. “Did vou! father ever speak of a brother? Yes, a certain Thomas of whom he was very fond. Put why are you so excited?” Pierre, you and I are cousins. I’ll tell you all about it after I've reported to headquarters.” Aftei telling the commanding officer of Pierre's information, he returned to Pierre, finding the lat- ter in a state of great bewilderment. He forthwith explained to Pierre their relationship, which was as follows:— John and Thomas Logan lived in Auburndalc. Maine, where the former taught school. John was succeeding fine as a school teacher, when an in- cident happened which caused him to flee from his native city and go to the Philippines. One of his pupils being unruly, he had been forced to expel him. whereupon the enraged parent threatened to go to law. at the same time making many charges against the school. Greatly alarmed, John fled by the first steamer. Put the brother carried on the investigation, and found that there were no grounds for complaint and the parent withdrew his charges. John had prior to his leaving lent his brother five thousand dollars to put into an investment: the in- vestment had been profitable, and Thomas clearc 1 considerably over the five thousand dollars, which Ik reserved pending his brother's return. As the yea s went by and John did not return, he investe 1 it in his brother's name, and now it had accumu- lated into quite a fortune. I lis son Alfred had bee i sent to West Point, where he had graduated just in lime to go to the war in the Philippines. CHAPTER III. Pierre in America. Alfred executed his dutv creditably; he left his horses about a mile from the appointed ambush and deploying his men to the right and left gradually drew in bis girdle of men until they completely surrounded the guerrillas, who surrendered every man. They were then conducted to Malacanan. where they were taken care of. Lieutenant Logan later got a furlough of six months, and with Pierre and John he embarked in a transport and sailed for San Erancisco. and from thence they went to Auburndalc. The estate was left under the care of Juan, who had recovered from -iis slight attack of sunstroke. Their Uncle I homas was delighted to see the boys, and gave them a royal welcome. Pierre's father had instructed his sons so finely that affer a short time in a preparatory school, they were able to enter college. Pierre atul John never forgot the old home in the Philippines, and after graduating from college they both returned. Pierre practiced his father's profession of teaching school, and John took charge of the estate. ZUbe Zue of a IRtneman: ITn Mono logues By? Hrtbur C. Gow, X., ’0(3 CHAPTER I. Explanations. N arriving in Boston, Miss Gertrude L. Dorian finds that her father has left for the South, leaving the usual ex- planations about business, and prom- ising to be back in a fortnight. In the meanwhile Miss Dorian is left on her own resources, which prove to be exceedingly limited, as she knows no one east of Chicago except a vague and uncertain cousin whom she re- members visited her in the days of frocks and kilts. After a fruitless search for past and forgotten ac- quaintances. her mind comes abruptly to a halt at the same vision of that kilted knight—yet more a newspaper clipping, sent recently to her family, an- nouncing the young cousin's promotion to junior partner in his father’s concern, appears clearly be- fore her eyes. Her father had often spoken to her of the Randclls, of Xew York. She reads her father's brief note through once more, as if hunt- ing for something. Yes. that must be right!

Complications. Scene: In drawing room car on the White Mountain special. Time: A few minutes before starting. Miss Dorian is looking out of a window, as yet undecided whether to fly hack to the hotel or remain on the train. She evidently decides in favor of the train. The special pulls slowly out of the Union station. As the warm afternoon sun- light floods the car. a young man strides in. very much out of breath and somewhat ruffled. He throws his overcoat across the seat, and drops his two suit cases, golf clubs, and tennis racket, open- ing the window at the same time that he draws from his pocket a magazine. In a moment he is lost to the World. An hour later he becomes conscious that a girl across the aisle is looking at him. He glances carelessly up, and then :— Is it a dream? (pinches himself to make sure). Those eyes—that chin—those lips—her profile— what hair! (draws in a deep breath). I’m losing mv mind. Gad! I must be. It can't he true. 1 must get a knock-down to her if 1 have to chase all over the continent.” (She turns her head towards him. He plunges wildly into his magazine, en- deavoring to appear absorbed in some article—in reality, the magazine is upside down.) What about the girl at Elmwood Inn? Oh, shucks! I didn't promise her anything—hut she was lonely. As for that (he glances across the aisle), SHE might he lonely. She Ml'ST he lonely.” (She looks across at him. lie meets her gaze and blushes, why she couldn’t have told.) Now I've done it. Goodness! how can I ever face----- (The car stops with a jerk: he keeps his face riveted to the window.) I'll go to the next station and walk over to the inn. It will do me more good than the barge ride from L------. (He grabs all his things and dashes for the door, and. as the train pulls out, swings recklessly off. She got off un- noticed until he saw her on the receding platform. A moment later, seated opposite HER in the barge, lie remarks absently, with much fervor):— My hat! what luck! . . . (Much astonished) “Pardon, did you speak? . . . Well—er—no. not that I remember. (Long and embarrassing pause.) . . . This is a mighty pretty country round here. . . . You haven't?

I apologize sin- cerely. but you took me so unawares I couldn’t catch my second wind.

CHAPTER V. Disaster—Squalls. Scene : Two or three miles up the river. A row boat drifting unguided down, 'rime: Two weeks later. Randell has forgotten his oars. He is lean- ing tensely forward, striving to look into the averted face of Gertrude Dorian, who is as strenu- ously avoiding his gaze. He is speaking low and rapidly.

Randell seizes the oars madly. Miss Dorian sits very straight and white in the stern. A brief pause, and then the torrent falls. Randell slips his own coat over her shoulders and bends to the oars. A half-hour brings them to the landing, thence to the hotel. They part in silence. The midnight express picks up a lone passenger at the turnout. CHAPTER VI. A Fair Wind.

Dills, X., ’06 ED, what are you going to do this afternoon?” Loaf around, and endeavor to write a theme on ‘The Children of Ancient Greece’ until four o’clock. Then play tennis with Florence.” Well. I wish that you’d look after Alice alxmt half an hour, while I run up to Mrs. Burton’s. 1 can’t take Alice with me. for Mrs. Burton, senior, is verv ill. Will you. Ned?” i suppose so,” was the reluctant reply. But sa . Grace, where are the queens of the kitchen region? Why can’t they look after the youngster?’’ Bridget has gone to bed with the toothache, and . it’s Marie’s afternoon out.” All right, sis. then I'll play nurse maid. I'm not home from college enough to feel very well ac- quainted with my young niece, and young ladies live years old haven’t been exactly in my line. But put the child’s coat on, and we’ll go over in the park.” •‘Thank you. Ned, I knew you’d help me out. Just let Alice play by herself and she won’t bother you. I’ll be back soon.” A few minutes later the tall Yale Junior left the house, with his small niece perched on his shoulder, and as he turned around to call, Good-by, Grace, be good!” his sister murmured: “I do hope Ned will take good care of Alice, and not try any mis- chievous tricks.” Ned made his way to a rustic seat under a group of trees on the west drive, and. making himself comfortable, he told Alice to play on the grass near by But Alice was not inclined to do so. When she saw Ned prepare his paper and pen for writing, she became very much interested. What are you going to do, Uncle Ned? she asked. Write,” was the brief reply. What are you going to write? Nothing. i )h. Uncle Ned. I know what that spells! F-l-o-r-e-n-c-e, that spells Florence. Is that what you're going to write?” Run away, child. I didn't knew you could read,” came the gruff reply, as he tore the paper into tiny bits, and thrust them into his pocket. I don’t want to go away. I’d rather sit here with you, Uncle Ned.” All right, but. do keep quiet.” commanded Ned. at the same time writing The Children of Ancient Greece” at the top of a second sheet of paper. All was quiet for about two minutes, while the perplexed student tried to think what to write next. But his thoughts wandered to the last baseball game of the season, played three days before, when every one said he had done such fine work in the box. (� to 1 in favor of Yale! That was a good score. But whose praise had he enjoyed most? Uncle Ned, what’s that over there?” piped up a small voice. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “A tree, replied Xed at random, as he suddenly remembered where he was. ■'No: that.” and a little finger | ointed in the right direction. A hose, child. What’s it for?” To water the grass. Why does it water the grass? To keep it green.” Whv is the grass green? Because it isn't blue. Why isn’t it red. Uncle Xed?” Because everything isn’t Harvard crimson. Unde Ned. why do cats have ears?” 1 don’t know. Alice. I wish I hadn’t any just now.” Why. Uncle Xed? .Mice. exclaimed the despairing young uncle, ii vou'11 keep still for two minutes. I'll give you a penny. All right. Uncle Xed. Meanwhile Xed glanced at his paper to see what he had written. The children of ancient Greece never asked questions, was his first sen- tence. Uncle Xed. is the two minutes nearly up?” said a wee voice at his elbow. Xo. one minute more, Alice. This remark caused Alice to jump down from the scat and run over to a tall tree near by. Xow, Mr. Tree,” Ned heard her say, I’m going to talk to you for one minute, ’cause Uncle Xed keeps saying ‘Keep quiet, Alice,’ and then Uncle Xed’s going to give me a penny.” The children of ancient Greece, the fountain pen was again scratching, when a wail reached the rustic seat. The young pitcher ran quickly in the direction from which it had come. His small niece turned toward him, water dripping from her dress, and great drops running down her face. I tried to see how near I could go to the hose. Uncle Xed, and not get wet. P'raps 1 went too near. I guess you did go too near, said Xed, notic- ing for the first time what big brown eyes Alice had. as she lifted them toward him. pleading for- giveness. Xed hadn’t the heart to scold her. Well, youngster. I guess we’ll have to go home. but thoughts of no one there but a cross cook with the toothache made him change his mind. Xo, we won’t go home after all, Alice. I’ll put you on this seat in the sun. I guess old Sol will dry you off on this hot June day all right. This stiff south breeze’ll help matters along, too. Who's old Sol, Uncle Xed?” I tut Uncle Xed was prevented from answering anoMiei volley of questions by a strong gust of wind, which sent his theme on Greek children fly- ing up the drive. With a shout to Alice to stay where she was he started in pursuit. The chase was a long and hot one. but eventually the last piece of white paper was recovered, some two hun- dred yards from where it escaped. Then Xed turned back to the rustic seat, only to find it empty. A feeling of dismay swept over the stalwart Junior. W here was Alice? I wonder if she's been stolen,” groaned Xed. I believe such things happen occasionally. At that moment lie heard some one shout: Why. Xed Barnett, where’d you turn up from? Turning around, he saw Jack Raymond, a fellow frai man, coming toward him. Hello. Jack! I'm visiting my sister for a couple of weeks. What are you doing around here? Visiting my uncle. But say, old boy, you look as if you’d run up against a hurricane. What’s the trouble?” For the first time Xed realized that lie must look anything but handsome with wilted collar, hat blown off, hair in disorder, and grasping a crumpled piece of white paper in his hand. I’m in a pretty fix. Jack. I came out for a walk with niv sister's child, and now I've lost her.” Lost her,” echoed Jack. It’s the first time 1 ever knew you to go walking with a young lady and not bring her safely home. Perhaps it's differ cut with nieces. ‘‘This is no time for joking. Jack, said Ned in despair. That child's got to be found. My sister’ll have a fit if she finds I’ve lost Alice.” How old is she? Where’d you lose her? How long ago was it? asked Raymond. One at a time. Jack. Five years old. On the rustic scat over there. About ten minutes ago,” came the brief replies. Well. Xed, to begin with, let’s examine the country in the vicinity of the seat.” Xed consented, but the search revealed no five- year-old Alice. We’ll notify the jxdice,” suggested Xed. but just then a small familiar figure came forward from behind a big tree ( the only one we didn’t look be- hind. said Jack), and a small voice announced, I was playing hide-and-seek, but you couldn’t find me, could you, Uncle Xed? Alice Brooks!” exclaimed Xed. Have you been there all the time? But what a sight you are! he continued, forgetful of his own appearance. For Alice had managed to find plenty of dirt to cling to the wet dress and face, and it was rather a soiled little girl which Xed Barnett lifted to his shoulder preparatory to a homeward journey. But. Uncle Ned,” cried Alice, looking down into his ‘laughing face—for Ned was now describ- ing the afternoon’s adventures to Jack—“you looked so funny running after that paper.” Before he could reply, carriage wheels were heard on the drive, and Alice cried out: Oh, Uncle Xed, there’s Florence’s mother, and mamma’s in the carriage with her.” Jack groaned, but there was no escape, for his sister had seen them. What have you two been doing?” cried Mrs. Brooks, as the carriage stopped near the rustic seat. 2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Playing hide-and-seek, mamma, said Alice, as she was lifted into her mother's lap. We've had a lovely time, too, haven’t we. Uncle Ned? Ves. indeed,'' said Uncle Xed. in a heroic man- ner. and then, as the carriage drove away, he turned to Raymond. ‘‘Taking care of children is not my forte. he re- marked. Neither is writing about the children of ancient Ireece. so come over to the house while 1 clean up. and then I'll take you over to play tennis with a voting lady who doesn't play hide-and-seek.” All right. said Jack. Htblcttc IRotes Bill Moses, formerly a member of Latin. '( , “looks good” for the low hurdles at Exeter. Carl Burns, a former member of the sauK class, is also out for the Exeter team. Lonnie' Russ is playing a crack game of basket ball for Dartmouth. “Bob Burns is also giving a good account of himself. Al Elliott and Hallie Higgins won their letter at the University of Maine, as «liti also Hafford. Stacey, and Blair at Bowdoin. This speaks well for the athletics of Somerville high. “Ollie Wyman is gaining prominence as a swimmer at I larvard. Last year he was captain of the '08 swimming team. Irving Carpenter is putting the shot at Exeter, according to the latest rumors. Basket ball is undoubtedly losing prestige. Al- though but a few years ago the interest taken in it was very great, at present we scarcely hear the word mentioned. Until recently' basket ball was the great winter sjxirt inasmuch as, here at Somer- ville at least, hockey was not well supported nor was there adequate ice surface near at hand to carry on the s| ort. Last year the Athletic Associa- tion voted to support a school team, but the season was noi altogether a successful one. nor was the local hall. Bacon hall, a suitable place to play in. This year basket ball was again suggested, but was voted down by the Athletic Association. At this writing the girl's basket ball has also ceased to practice owing to the fact that Bacon hall is being used for roller-skating. The going-out of basket ball leaves us with no winter sport to occupy our minds, and if no one else regrets it the sporting editor docs. What will football be next season? It is cer- tainly being hauled over the coals. There has never before been such a disturbance made over an athletic sport. Even the President has taken a hand in it. Football will doubtless be changed, but let us hope it will not be entirely revolutionized, for it must be remembered that it is not a game for girls, and for my part I have not heard a single player who was a player say anything against the present game. It will not be a great while before the call for candidates for the baseball team will be made. Boys, remember last season! Come out for the team if you have the least bit of baseball in you. Who knows but that you have the making of a good player in von ? Four of last year’s team arc gone, and they were four good ones, but in these schools of ours we should be able to turn out players just as good as they were. Let us wipe out last season's showing to the tune of another cham- pionship cup. At last the new “Gym is in running order. Already a large part of the prominent high school athletes have joined, as well as a large number of the student body in general. It is just what is needed to keep the muscles of the Ixwly from get- ting stiff while out-door sports such as football and baseball cannot be played. Johnny Glaze, the captain of next season's football team at I )artmouth, was at school just be- fore Christinas. Glaze, who played a crack game at quarter, is a member of a western chapter of the Gamma Eta Kappa. Xeo Ibatt'orO Leo Hafford, who was recently obliged to dis- continue his studies at Bowdoin owing to the death of his father, has signed with Cincinnati Club of the National League. His many admirers in this city are greatly interested in this movement. Somerville High never had a more widely know-n athlete than Leo Hafford. For four years he played either at end or halfback for the high school football team, and for the same number of years he played on the baseball team, captaining the nine of UMM. His first appearance on the dia- mond for Somerville High was as lelt field, but he soon proved himself to be the greatest pitcher this school ever developed, and his work in the box far surpassed any other schoolboy twirier. In 1905 Hafford captained the school basket-ball team, himself holding down the position of centre with his usual ability. This fall he won his letter as half- back on the Bow'doin eleven. He is popu- lar in other cities as wrell as Somerville, and is a member of the Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity of the high school. It is our earnest desire that Leo may add to his fame during his connection with the big league. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 53 THE SQUAD OF 1905 Cracli Ccam Now the track team is once more showing signs of life. Twohig has been elected captain, and will soon make a call for candidates. Russell Freeman is manager, and we are sure he will be a howling success in this rcle. The candidates will probably train during the winter in the new Y. M. C. A. “Gym. There are lots of fellows who will show up well if they will report when the time comes and train. Everybody should come out, as there are prospects of inter- class athletic meets indoor and outdoor, and each one wants his class to win. --------------------- Bostic H. 2L, 24; Kappa Kappa 1 ()• the night of January 1 a double header took place at Odd Fellows hall.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ’0(3 James A. I'lalierly. Class Editor. The editor wishes to offer his apologies for the few notes in the Senior column last month. Owing to a slight mistake all our notes were not printed, but we can have all the space we desire in months to come. The first thought upon the mind of a Senior ujjon New Year’s day was that the year in which he would graduate had at last arrived. It is with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure that we welcome this year; regret, because with the com- ing of l!MK it is brought home to us very forcibly that our happiest days are alxmt to end: pleasure, because we realize that soon we will be out in the world among men. some to rise to great honor, but each one. no matter how humble his position, can play a powerful part for the advancement of himself and humanity. It is to be hoped that the movement for a debat- ing society, lately started in the school, will be heartily suppoitcd bv the Seniors. Those who have ever attended or taken an active part in a debate cannot fail to realize that not only did lie get a broader idea of the subject under debate, but lie also had a great chance to enlarge his vocabulary. It is absolutely necessary that the best possible English at the speakers command should be used in a debate, and by constantly hearing or endeavor- ing to speak excellent English we unconsciously fail into the habit of speaking good English. Again, few can realize what they can do until they try. and bv joining the debating club some of us may disc over that we have slight legal qualities, and this mav lead to the choice of law for our pro- fession. These are only a few of the many benefits to be derived. Those who have not noticed Houdlette's grin, hunt him up and watch it. ’-t-rh—se says Siegel’s is a fine store.

During a period of twenty-five years, from September. 1881. when his elder brother entered the school, till June, 1006, when two of his cousins, Miss Eleanor Preble, of the Latin, and Richard Keyes, of the English School, will graduate, he has had some member of the family in the high schools all the time. The number has varied in any given year, from one to five persons. In all he has had twenty near rela- tives in the school during this period. These in- clude, besides himself, two brothers, his wife, two brothers-in-law. four sisters-in-law, and eleven first cousins. Counting more distant relatives or going back to an earlier generation, the number could be greatly increased. After 1900 there will be a lapse of a few years, and then the procession will begin again with the children of the next generation. Gamma usta itappa On the night of December — the jubilant mem- bers of this brotherhood assembled at the residence of Brother Fillmore. The customary business meeting sharpened the appetites of all present, and there is no need to say that the bountiful collation that followed met with unanimous approval According to Nichols and Lowell, the club authorities on What to Eat,” the chocolate ice cream was palatable, as were the other tempting delicacies. The assembly disbanded the same night. New Year’s eve saw the club as guests of Brother Keyes. The customary business meeting as usual put a razor-like edge on the elastic appe- tites. ami the customary repast was complimented by words and deeds, and as the latter are stronger than the former the compliment to Brother Keyes resembled an ovation. The night following the first meeting of 1906, the first of the G. E. K. gentians was held, and turned out to be a great success. The hall was elaborately decorated, under the able direction of Brother Free- man. with attractive white bunting and profuse clusters of evergreen, hand-picked by Brothers B wiby. Elliott. Freeman, and Jarvis. Two cozy corners were formed by Christinas trees, and the presence of these children of the forest was due to the ardent spirits of Brothers Bowlby and Lowell.

Two meetings have been held and at the first one the following officers were elected: President, W. 11. Ring; secretary, G. I '. McCIcnnen; treasurer, Elmer Houdlcttc; sentinel, J. I '. Manning. Plans were discussed as to coming events, and a dance and ladies’ night were considered. By the second meeting the membership was increased by two, Roy Young and James Murray being the victims, making total members nine. Many pleasant times are anticipated, especially the dance, as the former one was very successful. The next meeting will be at the home of Elmer Houdlcttc, and as he is the “money-holder” all will be closely pressed for dues. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 Xlbc XT. 1).

Although in the war of the rebellion he w rc a suit of gray, this country never had a more dutiful son than “Fighting Joe” Wheeler. When the Spanish war broke out. General Wheeler was an old man : but he was in active service during the Cuban campaign. Personally, we have never felt any great love for the Confederates, but no true patriot could enter- tain anything but the highest esteem and respect for General Joseph Wheeler, and we would not pass bv his death without some acknowledgment oi gratitude to this brave hero. ft ft ft ft jFebtuarg Though the shortest of the twelve. February is an important month in the history of this nation. I'tbruarv 22 will be forever famous as the anniver- sary of the biith of George Washington. On the twelfth of February. 1800. was lx rn the man who was the republic's saviour when the Civil war threatened destruction to our Union: and next to that of Washington, the memory of Abraham Lin- coln is kept sacred in the heart of every true American. February VO, 1848, marked the death of one of our early presidents, John Quincy Adams, a Massachusetts man. On February 28, 1871, a national park was set out in the Yellowstone val- ley. To-day. Yellowstone park is one of the great points of interest in the world. Longfellow, the greatest American poet, whose name is honored no less in Europe than in our own country, was born in February. Again we recall a February event that is still fresh in all our minds. It was on the night of bebruary ir , 1898, that the ill-fated battle- ship Maine was mysteriously” blown up in I lavana harbor. This tragedy had more to do with bringing on the war with Spain than any more ab- stract cause. e could mention several other events that took place, in this month, but will leave those for the historians. ft p. p, p.

Lend us your aid. at ft School IReport Those of us who have read the school report which has been issued this month have been very much interested in Superintendent South worth's statements concerning our High Schools. After speaking of the present crowded conditions, he savs In September next the Latin School should enter upon a new career. It should be provided with every facility to accomplish its work.—rooms, teachers, and appliances. With increased accom- modations. under the wise leadership of I)r. Baxter, who for more than a generation has successfully conducted its affairs, and seconded by an enlarged corps of tried helpers, the school should continue to hold its place in the very front rank.” In speaking of the English School he says: “Not- withstanding the exceptional increase in numbers, and the crowded condition of all departments, no extra teaching service has been called into requisi- tion. While the teachers have labored with cus- tomary enthusiasm and ability, several of them have been overburdened with their tasks. Two or three additional teachers must be employed in Sep- tember, whatever may be done earlier.” We certainly appreciate our superintendent’s efforts in our behalf, and feel that he has been largely instrumental in procuring the much-needed annex to the Latin School. p, ft p, p. TGintcr Sports Nineteen hundred and six seemed to start out with an early spring. Seldom has there been such warm weather in the month of January. With the thermometer in the vicinity of sixty-five degrees, hockey was out of the question. To say the least the outlook has not been a pleasing one. 'Hie one consolation has been that basket ball has con- tinued in full blast, and interest in it is now better titan it has been since the time of the famous Phi Delta” team. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 65 Darrtman’s Success J y Huoustus 3B. TTrfpp, 1 ., '06 AM ES H A RR! M A X was seatt 1 in one end of the old oar which formed the temporary headquarters of the con- struction engineer of the M. .X. V. R. R. At tlie other end of the car sat the telegraph operator, better known as the Lady. A line place this ’ growled Harriman. I have been here three or four davs now and have had no work yet. ’ Mr. Ilavriman,'‘ called the Lady. Mr. W ilson wires that you are to go to tunnel'number thirteen, and see what you think can be done with it and re- port here to-morrow.” Say. young fellow.” drawled another of the occupants of the car. do you know that five men have failed to build that tunnel?” How do you get there?” was the first inquiry of James. He was very eager to get to work, mil it mattered not to him how many men had failed, for he was confident of his success. You can go on the 2.30.” “Another message for you. said the Lady. Going to the improvised desk Harriman read Wilson's message in the Lady's telegraphic writ'ng. Examine tin work carefully. Lad mistakes been made. Very poor ground to tunnel. Will take good engineer to succeed. Will save three per cent, grade.' 1 am sorry that he gave you that. said the Lady. He is one of those who failed, and he wants you to do the same, lie is prejudiced against you for some reason or other. It is a desperate job.' Is it? asked he, speaking in a very low tone and wondering why she should have taken any in- terest in him or his task. We'll see.” “You do not seem to be afraid of it.” Xot at all. Mr. Wilson does not know it, but tunneling is my hobby, and I am quite sure that 1 shall succeed.” I am glad that you are not afraid, and that you are so confident,” said the Lady. but.—well, wait and see what a nasty place it is to work in. All slate, and it is almost inqxjssible to keep the top up where you have tunneled. Still I hope that you will succeed.” After a good dinner James took the 2.30 and started for the unfinished tunnel. He arrived there about . ..'50 and began the task assigned him. His examination of the tunnel was long and thorough. He worked all the afternoon and half the night. He made many notes, and in completing the work he saw that he would have a chance to put into exe- cution many of his pet theories. The next afternoon he returned to the old car- office and reported to Mr. Wilson that lie thought that he could finish the work, and that he would make the new plans. Harriman completed the new plans and showed them to his chief, who. though pleased with them, was not at all sure that they would work out any better than the other sets had. Oh, you're like all of those college chaps. You go in for theory, hut never see the practical side of anything. This was the remark of a self-made man. but it did not make any difference with James. Since lie had seen the tunnel lie was more pos't'.ve than ever that he could put the tunnel through and that in tin. required time. Well. Harriman. since you arc so sure that you con do the job, go ahead. Rut remember this, the superintendent says that he wants to ride through that tunnel iust six weeks from to-day. The following «lay James began the work with l� oth hands and both feet, as he wrote to one of his college friends, and promised to have the tunnel done on time. f;or the first four weeks he worked like a Trojan, lie slept only about four or five hours each day. and all the rest of his time was spent in superintending the work in the tunnel. Ilis eve was on every «Irill and every man at work there. At the close of this time an accident o- currcd which every one thought would prevent his personally supervising the rest of the work 011 the unfinished tunnel. 1 think that ntv scheme of bracing that slae section will prevent any more of those cave-ins. confided James to the Ladv one day while in the office. I hope so. for they have all given it up when it began to cave.” 'I he young engineer had reckoned without his host, for he had not made enough allow- ance for the jar caused by blasting. The next day the men were to do a large amount of blasting, and James was on hand to superintend the work. All ready, there!” he shouted, and an Italian turned the crank of the firing machine and fired tin- blasts. A terrific roar reverberated through the tunnel, followed by the cracking of timbers. Run for your lives! yelled James, the bracing has given way. Then he was thrown to the ground side of a fiat car. When he came to he was in the old office car with the doctor and the I.adv watching him. Ilis eyes slowly opened and he asked, Any one hurt?” Xo one but yourself. replied the doctor. When the doctor had nearly finished his exami- nation. James said, Thank you, but that’s enough.” Hurts, eh? Well, what can you expect with three ribs broken?” That’s awful,” was the unconscious remark of the Lady. hen the doctor had wound yard after yard of plaster around the poor crushed body, and the 66 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR patient had been made more comfortable. James said. Now put me on the Hat car and send me back to the tunnel.” Why, man. you arc going to the hospital and not to work. Hanged if I am. I've got to finish that tunnel in less than two weeks. Those Italians will blow ibe whole mountain up if I am not there to till them what to do. and will not make two feet a day.” In spite of the Lady’s pleadings and doctor’s pro- tests. lames was loaded on to the car in an easy chair which the Lady had made as comfortable as possible when she saw that he was determined to go. Just as he had started on his return to the tunnel a man called from the door of the temporary tele- graph office. Harriman, we just received word th t another section of the root has fallen.” James heaved a deep sigh of discouragement and felt so downhearted that he was on the point of giv- ing it up. Then he thought of the Lady’s intere t in him and changed his mind, for one of the men who was with him heard him mutter, I’ll try it for her sake.” During the journey back he worked out a new plan for the timbering and propping which he felt sure would be better than the first one had been, but he was not so confident about its success as he had been of the success of the first plan. When lie arrived at the tunnel he found that the cave-ins had not been as bad as he had thought, and saw his way to quickly repair the damage caused by them. Ilis appearance on the scene of action gave his men new courage, for they well knew that they could not get along in a successful manner without his supervision, and under his watchful eye the work proceeded with more than usual rapidity. The next day the men made a small hole through the portion which remained between them and their goal and a loud hurrah arose when the men saw the little beam of light which shone through the small hole. Good ior von. boys. We’ll get through at least a day ahead of time. James had strained himscif in Ins endeavor to make these words heard above the roar i the steam drills, and was obliged to press his wounded side for quite a while to relieve the pain caused bv his exertions. I tell you. Mr. White, that the hoy cannot fin- ish that ;o: in less than a month. He has let that tunnel cave in twice in two days, and is laid up with a couple of broken ribs. You had better give the attempt on that tunnel up, or else assign some one else to the work.” Mr. White, the superintendent, frowned and said, ‘‘Whv are you so anxious that i should put some one else on that unlucky tunnel' You have been complaining ever since Harriman was put to work, and he cannot have done any worse than the rest of you. I will let him have the full time, and will be on band myself when that time is up.” When Mr. Wilson returned to the old car ar.d found that James had gone up to the tunnel, he was much surprised., for he had expected him to give up the job. Not having the remotest idea that the boy had finished the tunnel, he started on the day before it was to have been completed, to see what had been done. He found Harriman coming out of the tunnel on In’s little fiat car. and called to him in a sneering tone. W ell. bov. I came up to look over the tunnel before the super comes, so as to be sure that it is all light.” He mistook the look which passed over I larriman’s face and continued in the same tone. Suppose that I will have to dig my way through if I get there.” No, sir. you can go through on an express engine ii you want to, for every inch of track is laid, and the last bit of construction work was finished this noon.” The next day the superintendent and the chiet engineer, accompanied by their wives, the Lady, and several officials of the road, made a tour of in- spection through the tunnel. When the officials had returned to the palatial car of the superintend- ent. Mr. White said: “Gentlemen, the work which you have seen to-day was completed by a young man wiio had grit enough to work for two weeks with several ribs fractured. That is the kind of men that we want, college men whose education has given them the theory to put into practice, and with the grit and determination developed by ath- letic training. As a result of this consultation Harriman was given the position formerly held by Mr. Wilson. ! Four weeks later we find James Harriman seated in the same room in which we first saw him; at the other end of the room is seated the Lady, who has just received a message which brings the light of love to her eye. 'This message did not come over the wire. B Scientific JEpteofcc 36 (5la£ vs us. Tknowlton, ’00 WTF.D—l y an unmarried man. board in a private family where there are no young people.

Such was the advertisement that appeared in the Chesterfield Sentinel one day in the early summer of nineteen-hundred and five, and its reading caused a ripple of excitement in the home of Miss Matilda Racklifrc. who lived with her sister Lucy on the outskirts of that village. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 67 Ever since they first saw the light of lav these two worthy sisters and one other named Sarah had dwelt with their father and mother in this same house, which had been handed down to posterity from time immemorial. Father and mother had long since been laid to rest in the quiet village churchyard, and sister Sarah had married and moved to an adjoining town, leav- ing Matilda and Lucy the sole occupants of the home. it had been Matilda's pride for many years to keep the home just as father and mother left it: so. with one man-of-all-work, who milked the cow, and made the garden, she had managed to accomplish her object. Miss Lucy must not soil her hands: no troubles must darken her horizon. She had always been, and always would be, in Matilda's estimation a flighty young thing.” whose head was filled with romances.' and whom she. Matilda, must guard from all the male sex. believing with Shakespea.c. that Men were deceivers ever. lint their funds were getting low. and Miss Lucy must not miss any of the delicacies which this elder sister had always placed before her favorite. What could be done? Many weary days and nights had Matilda pondered this question: but no solu- tion presented itself, until, sitting one evening by their cozy open fire. Miss Lucy read aloud the ad- vertisement with which our story begins. Miss Lucy's mind was at once filled with imag- inings of the peculiar individual who designed it, but to Matilda it was a ray of light in the darkness. Certainly here, in her own home, were all the requisites desired'—quiet surroundings; a trout brook, whose sparkling waters wended their way through the valley, just below the garden wall. To be sure Miss Lucy might be an objection, for the gentleman particularly requested no young com- pany, but. Matilda reasoned, he would be out fish- ing the greater part of the time, and when he was indoors she would keep Miss Lucy beyond the reach of his wiles. The neighbors maintained that Miss: Lucy would never sec fifty-five again, but to Matilda she was ever young, and her watchful eye neither slumbered nor slept as far as Miss Lucy’s interests were con- cerned. Before retiring that night she answered the ad- vertisement. leaving it with the hired man to post in the morning, saying nothing whatever to Miss Lucy of tlie matter: for her sweet repose must not be broken by any disturbing influences. Already site was making plans for the coming o: this stranger. Let us now follow Matilda’s letter to its destina- tion. which was a fashionable boarding-house in Harvard square, where it was delivered to a pale, intellectual-looking young man. who wore green glasses, and who came forward as the carrier said. Professor Styles.” Me was a teacher of modern science, and had applied himself so closely to his work, that he had strained the optic nerve. Hence the oculist had orderd him to go into the country and stay out among the green grass and trees, and he was now anxiously awaiting some reply to his advertisement. Matilda’s letter, stating that he would not he dis- turbed by young people, pleased him greatly: for anything trivial was much beneath, the dignity of this staid young professor of science: so he at once sent a telegram, stating that lie would arrive th • next day. nd at this same hour another telegram was wending its way toward the little home among the Chesterfield hills, that caused dire consternation in the heart of Matilda, for this was what it said: m called away by illness of husband's mother. Sending Beatrice by first train—Sister Sarah.’’ Now Beatrice was barely seventeen, and as mis- chievous a slip of a girl as ever was seen. Poor Matilda! What was she to do? She sciz.-d pen and paper, and was inditing a letter to the pro lessor declining to receive him. when his telegram reached her stating the time of his arrival. Nothing could she do but make preparations to receive her guests, which she did with fear and trembling. In a few hours Beatrice arrived, rapturously wel- comed by Miss Lucy, but somewhat absently by Miss Matilda, whose perplexities were rapidly in- creasing. Beatrice was a child of Nature's own. and could not long remain indoors, so it was not surprising, that, at the lime of the professor’s arrival, next day. she might have been seen carelessly leaning over the gate, watching a gray squirrel, who was playfully scampering along the wall. '1 h . professor, wishing to enjoy his first glimpse of the country, and ordering a driver to bring bis baggage, had sauntered up from the railway station, until, thinking he . must be nearing his destination, and glancing around in search of some one of whom he might inquire, his eyes rested upon Beatrice. A more roguish- looking face he certainly never saw. Brown eyes whose laughter and fun were seconded by the dimples in her cheeks, and horror of horrors! she actually smiled as the professor drew near: for, truth to toll, his green glasses and the stern and t r- bidding aspect with which he approached were al- most too much for Beatrice’s sense of humor. To the professor she was an obnoxious young person: but no other person being in sight, he would inquire the way of her. So with much dig- nity he said. Will you kindly inform me where the Misses RacklifYe live?” Certainly, sir.” replied Beatrice. They lbv here. Upon which the professor, with a g ave bow. walked in at that same gate, and up the path toward the house, much to Beatrice’s astonishment. Of course, Matilda explained to the professor how unexpectedly Beatrice came upon her. and that, together with the glimpse of the trout-brook which he had obtained on his way up from the sta- tion, somewhat mollified the professor, and he agreed to remain for a time at least, in spite of the young person at the gate. Time passed on. and although Matilda’s watch- ful care never ceased, Beatrice and the professor 68 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR were being1 constantly thrown together, much to her secret mirth and his annoyance, until one day something occurred to break the monotony. ’Beatrice was returning from a walk to the vil- lage. The professor was sitting on a shady bank by the gate, when his ears were startled by a scream of terror. Hastily springing to his feet he beheld a sight which transfixed him with horror.—Beatrice standing as if turned to stone, and a dog with froth dripping from his open jaws hounding toward her. Keen as he looked the brute fastened his fangs in her round white arm. which she had thrown out in defence. The professor ran to her assistance. rcnching oft his coat he threw it over the head o; tin maddened animal, who in surprise let go his hold, and endeavored to free himself from the coat, which the professor had soon securely tied over his head and around his fore legs. Then he was soon captured by the men who were on his trail. A short distance down the street was a black- smith's shop, and toward this the professor now hurried Beatrice. Telling her to be brave, be seized an iron, red-hot from the flaming forge, and applied it to the wounded arm. The fair white flesh sizzled and sputtered beneath the fiery ordeal, but Bea- trice bore the pain bravely, although almost fainting with the torture. A physician was then summoned, who announced that owing to the prompt measures taken by the professor, no ill-effects were likely to accrue to Beatrice. So. indeed, it proved, and more than that, between Beatrice and the professor the bar- riers had been literally burned away. From that time they were stanch comrades, and before the professor returned to his college town, on Beatrice’s huger gleamed a sparkling diamond, while the pro- fessor’s happy manner plainly showed that one young person, at least, was not objectionable. jfatber’s Suites .16 ?

Tenderly she stroked the fair hair of the little one, recovering from a severe attack of scarlet fever. Gentlv she touched the lids, covering the blue eyes, now sight- less from the touch of the treacherous disease. Looking down -upon the face of the sleeping child, she seemed to see another face,—that of her husband, who. having fallen under the merciless sway of the demon drink, had left his wife and baby child, and had gone no one knew where. As one year followed another, and no husband returned, the neighbors dropped into the way of calling the mother the Widow Shcrbournc. She, however, hoped.—even more,—believed that he would come back again, and in this belief she care- full) wrapped up and laid away the violin, on which be bad been, wont to play the soft, sweet airs which she loved. « 0 The child stirred at the opening of the door.

Every day the kind doctor, who had attended the boy during bis illness, made a short visit always having some bright little story to tell. To ihe great-hearted doctor the mother had con- fided her story, with its trials and its struggles. She told him. also, of the many pleasant evenings when her husband would take his violin and play the melodies with which she should sing the little one to sleep. “What can my boy do. now that he is blind? said the mother. The hours will drag so slowlv. Well. well. Let me think. Yes, I think I’ve hit upon something. Did you not tell me that your husband played upon the violin5 Why don't you tell Bobby about it some day. and then ict him hold it. Shouldn't wonder if that child had the same gift which his father had. Anyway, it would do no harm to let the child know about it.” few soft tones greeted the doctor’s ears as. having visited a patient nearby, he made his way up the narrow stairway of the tenement to Widow Sherbournc's room. It’s the doctor: I know his step. and Bobby, carefully laying aside the violin, slowly advanced toward the dcor. A friendly grasp of the hand, a pleasant Good- day. ma’am, to Mrs. Sherbournc. and a Play on, boy.” sent Bobby back to his violin. Three years had passed since Bobby’s introduc- tion to the instrument which had now become bis constant companion,—three years, in which the wonder and delight that he first had experienced upon hearing sounds which he himself produced had grown into admiration and love, for. as he ex- pressed it. he knew and felt what the violin wanted to say. “Oh, if his father could only hear him. I know' he would be so proud of him,” and the mother’s heart filled with pride for her son. and longing for the one of whom she thought when she taught her little son to play “father’s tunes.” e The hot and sultry summers day had settled down into a close and stilling evening. Even the slight breeze which found its way down the narrow streets did not give the longed-for coolness.

Bessie, said Robert, as the train rolled into the station at Worcester, I will jump off a minute and buy a paper. They had been married at noon that day; and as they were both de- sirous of not being taken for a bride and groom, 1 Jessie did not demur, but said in her most matter of-fact voice: Don’t miss the train. As Robert stepped from the train, he met an old acquaintance, who insisted u]x n taking him across the station to introduce him to his wife. Then he bought his paper, and. feeling that he had been too long on his errand, pulled out his watch, saw that he had only a moment in which to catch his train, stood bewildered, and then—swung on the step of a train just leaving. 1 Jessie was in one of the forward cars he remem- bered. He was a very absent-minded fellow, but he did remember the car; and he hurried through the iong train., knowing how anxious she would be, and reproaching himself for leaving her in this way on their wedding journey. I le reached the car at last; but there in the seat where he had left her sat an elderly gentleman reading the Herald. What could have become of Bessie? There was no sign of her nor of their belongings. Then it dawned upon him that the passengers had an unfamiliar look : and as he stood gazing about with an agonized expression, the conductor put his head in the door and shouted. •’’I his train express to Boston!” and slammed the door. IV� Boston! Then he was going back to Boston, which they had left an hour ago.—while Bessie must be speeding along to Springfield alone! He sat down and took out his watch mechanically, and put it back again without looking at it. What would Bessie do? He hoped that site would go to the hotel in Springfield where they had engaged rooms’ yes. of course she would, lie would tele- graph her there as soon as he reached Boston, and would follow on the next train. After Bessie had watched Robert out of the car. and had thought as she saw him disappear in the crowded station how much better looking he was than other men. her first thought was that she would not be nervous and foolish about his getting back in time. Men always get off at stations and always come back at the last minute; and when he rejoined her she would not let him know that she had been in the least anxious. When the train be- gan to move and there was no sign of him. this firm .resolve was a little shaken. But. said Bessie to of jfate JHIIIS, X., '07 herself, he has probably jumped on to the rear platform.” and she looked eagerly to see his tail figure coming from the next car. Tickets, please!” said the conductor: and by this time Worcester was left far behind and Bessie was growing very anxious. “My husband has my ticket. she said with dig- nity. I think he must have gone to the smoking- car : and she tried to believe that this was the case. By and bv the conductor returned, saving, so that everyone in the car could hear, that he had failed t find the owner of the tickets; whereupon some of the passengers began to grasp the situation, and to proffer well-meant advice to the forsaken bride. This was most embarrassing to the dignified young woman. That this could have happened on their wedding trip—she going to Springfield alone, with Robert’s coat on the back of the chair and his um- brella beside hers in the rack! What could have become of him and w hat should she do? Her thoughts ran swiftly over the events of the day.—the ceremony, the breakfast, the congratula- tions. and hasty good-bys. Then she thought of the roomful of presents, and she remembered that she had not thanked her Cousin Sarah for a .pic- ture that had arrived the day before; neither she nor Robert had admired it. and she began uncon- sciously to compose a note of thanks winch should Ik duly grateful, and yet not untruthful. Next station Springfield!” cried the conductor, and in a few moments Bessie found herself stand- ing there alone with two umbrellas and a bag, and a man’s overcoat on her arm. Can’t I help you, Mrs. Damon? said an unex- pected voice, and she felt someone lifting the heavy coat from her arm. ‘’Oh. thank von, she replied gratefully.—and then rather stiPly: “Howr do you do. Mr. Dean? That it should be Arnold Dean of all people! To be sure she had told him alxmt a year before, that she would always be his friend, and she had lately thanked him for a very pretty wedding pres- ent. and had said that she and Robert would hope to see him often at Xumber 3 2 after they.were set- tled: but that it should be this man standing there with her instead of Robert! ■‘Where's Rob, looking after the trunks? in- quired Mr. Dean. Oh, yes. she answered, lie's coming, -that is. —lie was detained von know.— I really don’t know where he is.” and then with a sigh she exclaimed: What shall I do?” 70 SOM K RVIL L H RADI ATO R Arnold Dean looked puzzled. Then Ik thought: ‘‘She’s embarrassed; they didn't want to meet any- one they knew, and me least of all”; so he offered rather ceremoniously to take her things inside and to go and tell I Job where she was. Then Bessie ex- plained what had happened, and looked so troubled that he felt lie must stay and help her whether she wanted him or not. “I am going to the-----House myself.” he said, “let me carry your things.” So they went to the hotel together. Is there a telegram for Mrs. Robert Damon?” Dean asked at the desk. “Xo, was the clerk's reply, “but here is a letter.” How could a letter have come so soon? I hit it was not from Robert. It was addressed, in a pointed, feminine style, to “Miss Bessie Brooks.” A fine line was drawn across the name, under which was written. Mrs. Robert Damon. in the sprawling hand of I Jessie's younger brother. Well.” said Mr. Dean cheerfully, he’ll be here soon: the next train from Worcester gets here be- fore seven. If you would like to go to vour room and rest. I will see that any telegram that comes is sent up at once.” He looked so kind as he said this that Bessie be- gan to reproach herself for wishing that he was not there: and she tried to thank him for his kindness, when suddenly she felt conscious of the scrutiny of a pair of eyes, and confronted her Cousin Sarah, who had sent them the picture. As soon as that elderly relative had assured herself that it was really I Jessie, she crossed the room and grasped her hand, and began to explain very fast how she had wanted to go to the wedding.—but that it came on the very day of her brother-in-law’s mother's funeral in Springfield.—and now it was almost time for her train to go.—only she did want to speak to I Jessie just for a minute. Then, turning to Mr. Dean, towards whom she had directed many inter- ested side glances, she said, “Mr. Damon. I pre- sume. No. answered I Jessie for him. this is Mr. I Jean : whereat Cousin Sarah became much con- fused. a dim recollection crossing her mind of a cer- tain gentleman of that name whom she had heard of as having been attentive to Bessie. I thought it said Damon on the imitation.” she said to herself: but she had a poor memory for names, and these both began with D. So stopping Bessie's at- tempted explanation with a few hasty wishes to the bride and groom, she hurried away to catch her train. And I never said a word about her pic- ture!” Bessie told Robert later. That voting man in the meantime had reached Boston, and. after telegraphing to Bessie, sat for nearly an hour in the waiting-room, hoping to avoid recognition. At last lie was on the train again; and after what seemed an interminable journey, he walked into the------ House at Springfield shortly before seven. ‘But wiiy didn't you telegraph?” Bessie ex- claimed. when she had heard all about it. Didn't you receive niv telegram?” he cried; and inquired at the desk concerning it. “Perhaps this is the one. said the smiling clerk who had given Bessie her letter. As Robert tore open the telegram. Bessie picked up the wrapper, and said reproachfully: “Oh. Robert! It was ad- dressed: Miss Bessie Brooks. XL be point of Dlew By? Grace ll . Burt, X., '07 KS, it is rather perplexing to choose wedding presents,” said the pretty girl, with a worried look. It is hard to find something that is not sure to be duplicated. But this little dish is so pretty and quaint I hardly think she will have another like it. Yes. the design is conservative, and it is the verv newest thing.” said the pale little sales- girl. trying to keep the tremor of anxiety out of her voice. Surely this pretty young lady could not imagine what it meant to her to make one really good sale. The girl glanced at her suspiciously, saw the little eagerness, and said impulsively, “Well, I'll take it. I suppose if it is duplicated I can ex- change it.” Certainly, we are very glad to oblige our cus- tomers if the goods have not been injured. said the little clerk. W hen the girl reached home she found that her brother would not be home that night. As he was to bring the dainty box and wrappings for her friend's present she could not carry the gift that night. Still she went as she had promised to spend the night with her friend. That evening the wedding presents were on dis- play. and the girl saw to her dismay a dish greatly resembling her own gift, in fact almost its double. Well, I'm glad 1 didn't bring it now. she thought. I can change it to-morrow and no one will be the wiser. The next day as she was wrapping up the pretty dish preparatory to returning it to the store, she noticed a small, dark sjx t on the silver. A sudden thought came of the fudge she had made the day before, the dish had been near, perhaps she had spattered a little. However, she dismissed the idea, took the dish back, and said not a word. The little salesgirl turned a shade whiter when she saw her. but the girl would not notice. That night the salesgirl was summoned to the office. Goods sold by her had been returned dam- aged. the floorwalker reported. The firm could not keep clerks who were so heedless of its inter- ests: so they had no further need of her services. She took what pay was due her and passed out. She staggered a little as from hunger, but the hall was dark and no one noticed. In her dainty room that night the girl was deeply wondering what she could get for her friend's wed- ding present. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 7 « ■ � 1 1 «I I l I' | i'— l i IV IIIIIOWI • 11111 111 and Merrimack counties. X. IL, lies Lake Sunapee, one of the most pic- turesque bodies of water in New Eng- land. This lake is ten miles in length and from one to three miles in breadth, and has an altitude of 1,104 feet. While only thirty miles from Lake Winnepesaukcc, it is I3 feet higher than its noted rival. In 1030 a scout from Boston stood upon the shore of this regal sheet of crystal water, the first white man to behold this rare gift of nature. It was l � o years later before a permanent settlement was made in this vicinity. Lake Sunapee derives its name from a combina- tion of Indian words. Soo-ni-pi. meaning wild goose water. The Pennaeook tribe of the Algon- quins. which is known to have inhabited this region before the invasion of the white man. has left no trace of its presence, except for the occasional find- ing of a stone arrow-head. In order that we may fullv comprehend the beau- tiful scenery and abundant resources which make this lake one of the finest in Xew England, we will have to have a closer acquaintance with it. Taking the train at Boston, we are soon speeding northward, and in a short time cross the boundary into that beautiful territory known as the Granite state. Leaving the main line at Concord, we pro- ceed in a northwesterly direction, and begin our gradual ascent into that region so richly endowed bv Xature. Upon rounding the base of Mt. Sunapee, we arrive at the little station, at the foot of the lake, where we find the steamer waiting to convey us further on our journey. As soon as transfers are made, the steamer turns her bow northward, and we commence the most de- lightful part of our trip. After passing Pine cliff c ii the east shore, and Brightwood. Mont Clare, and Woodcliff on the west shore, the first place of im- portance is the Kells, the summer home of the late Colonel John Hay. situated on a small hill on the cast shore, and overlooking the lower part of the lake. The next place worthy of note is the unique little settlement of Burkehaven. on the west shore, the entrance to which is guarded by the Liberty, Star, and Emerald Isles. From the hills of Burke- haven can be obtained one of the finest views of the lake, with the majestic form of Mt. Sunapee, which, rises to a height of 2,083 feet above the sea level, in the background. Leaving Burkehaven. the steamer crosses the lake, passes Little and Great Islands, and makes its next stop at Blodgett's Landing. From here one can obtain an unobstructed view of the upper por- tion of the lake. The steamer now wends her way towards Sunapee Harbor, the principal town on the lake. Let us note in passing that the entrance to this harbor is guarded by a lighthouse, a feature rarely seen on a lake of this size. This lighthouse is situated upon a dangerous reef known as Loon although now nearly covered with water, it was once an island of considerable size. A strik- ing feature of this lighthouse is that it has no keeper, being lighted from the village by electricity. Continuing her journey, the steamer reaches Sunapee Harbor. This important little town boasts of three hotels and a population of about 1.200. Here. also, we find the Sunapee river, the only out- let to this large body of clear, cool water. Retracing our course to the entrance of the liar bor, we notice in passing Hedgehog Hill on the right and Garnet Hill on the left. From both of these can be obtained fine views of the lake, with Kearsarge, Cardigan, and the Croydon mountains forming a suitable background. Turning north- ward at the mouth of the harbor, we steam past Dreamland and Lakeside towards George's Mills, which is at the upper end of the lake. Upon our arrival at George’s Mills, we find it a quiet little town, having a peculiar character of its own. It is an ideal Xew England village. There are many delightful trips which one can take from here, the most noted of which is to the Royal Arch. ()n the way to the Royal Arch. the tour- ist crosses an unused road, over which, it is said. Daniel W ebster used to travel on his way to Dart - mouth College. From George's Mills the steamer turns her bow towards Soo-ni-pi Park, the summer residence of l)r. John D. Quackcnbos, of Yale College. It is here that we find the state fish hatchery, which sup- plies the lake with trout and land-locked salmon. Each year this hatchery turns out from 300.000 to 400.000 trout and salmon. It may be well to state at this point that no lake on the continent is better supplied with fish than Lake Sunapee. There are no less than eight species of land-locked salmon which inhabit its waters. The brook trout weigh as high as six to eight pounds, and the land-locked salmon range from three to twenty pounds. In May and June there are the famous Loch Leven trout, imported from Scotland, and running as high as eighteen pounds, and the Yon Behr trout of Europe, which tip the scales as high as eleven pounds. There are also the magnificent rainbow trout from California, the blue-black trout from the Rangeley Lakes, the land-locked smelt, and the white or native trout. Having made a tour of the lake, let us leave the steamer to return to its berth at Sunapee Harbor, while we discuss some of the features which make this superb body of water so attractive to mankind. The villages along the shores receive their water supply from the lake, and it is stated that it con- tains only 1.34 grains of impurities. The water is the coldest of any of the larger lakes. This lake is one of the finest summer resorts in the country, and people from Boston. Xew York. Philadelphia, and even far-off San Francisco make it their destination when “Old Sol beams forth in all his fury. Xafce Sunapee JBy Sidney %.

Other basket ball teams in the Latin School are the F. H. I . with whom games may be arranged with John J. Tobin. L.. ’OK: and the Kappa Kappa P.-i organization, of whom Edward Connnins, I... OS, is manager. Ibockcv Leant At a meeting of the S. II. S. A. A. held January it was finally voted to support a hockey team, as the bunch of candidates who had re|� ortcd to Mon- roe was quite a promising one. So far the weather has been decidedly against the fellows, but if the ice decides to remain solid for more than a week at a time, the spirit that has been shown by the acting captain and his men will surely pull us out a worthy hockey team. Roscoe Waterhouse, who is managing the team, has arranged a schedule with a large number of schools iu the vicinity. It is only right that we speak here of the work of Henry Monroe, to whom more than any other we arc indebted for the hockey team. At the first of the season the prospects for a team were ex- ceedingly poor, but he has labored unceasingly, until he has finally received its sanction by the Ath- letic Association. If every one would work to sup- port the athletic teams with half so good a will, w • would indeed lead our rivals by the largest margin. The team and their positions are as follows:— Rice, P. Merrill. Garland, and Monroe, forwards: Young, cover point: Hoyt, point: and Buttimer, goal. 74 SOM E RVILLE RADIATO R ’06 Cabriel Farrell. Jr., Class Editor.

The customary business meeting was held, and among other business a minstrel show was suggested which was to take part in the baseball concert. 'Hie matter was laid on the table until the following meeting. As soon as the busi- ness of the meeting was over. Brother Jarvis served a very bountiful collation, which was partaken of in the same spirit with which it was served. The members disbanded late in the evening. The next meeting was held at the home of Brothers Archer and Lawrence Bowlby. This was the first meeting held bv one. or rather, two, of the new Ccks,” and was a success. The usual business meeting was held, and it was voted to give the minstrel show, pro| osed in the preceding meet- ing. and it is to be given under the direction of Robert Nichols. It was voted to secure talent out- side the fraternity in order to swell the number participating, flic collation was then tendered, and after a hearty song or two, the members dis- banded. 'flic second of the series of three germans given by the CJeks” was held on Thursday. February i. and was a decided success in every way. The hall was prettily decorated with green and white, the fraternity colors. 'Hie green electric lights were a novelty, and added much to the attractiveness oi the party. Mrs. J. F Beard. Mrs. II. V. Fosdick, Mrs. F. II. I'oote, Mrs. C. S. Soule, and Mrs. F A. Ware served-in the capacity of matrons. The floor was in charge of Bergen Reynolds, who had as aids: R. Archer Bowlby. Malcolm F'illmorc, Lester L. Graves. H. Parker Lowell, James Nichols. J. Ed- ward Beard. II. A. Loan, Edmund J. Twohig, and William Elliot. The music, which was furnished by Poole’s orchestra, was of the best, and rendered the occa- sion all the more enjoyable. The fraternity wishes to express its thanks in these columns to the Som- erville Woman’s Club, which very accommodatingly allowed the use of the beautiful green which decked the hall. The next german will be held at Anthoine academy. March 1. and. as this is the la t one. will doubtless be even more successful than the two preceding ones. ----------------------------- U-L %. C.

Whitcomb, head master of the English School, has tendered his resignation, which is to take effect the last of June. For eleven years, ending in June, 1906, he has served the city faithfully as the head master of the English School, and it is with regret that we must relinquish him in a few months more. The city of Brockton will gain in him what Somerville will lose, an enterprising and conscientious servant. Mr. Whitcomb first saw the light of day in Thomaston. Me., July 1, 1861. As a boy he was a zealous student, and graduated before he was eighteen from the high school at Provincctown, Mass. In 1879 he entered Amherst, with the in- tention of spending the last half year of his college course at Harvard. However, when the time for doing this came, the ties binding him to Amherst were so strong that he remained and graduated from that college in '83 at the age of twenty-one. He received the degree of A. B. with honor, and later in 1886 he received the degree of A. M. for special work in English. Soon after graduation from college Mr. Whit- comb entered upon his chosen profession of teach- ing, in which lie has met with marked success. He accepted a position at the head of the Sand- wich grammar school, from which in a few months lie was called to the principalship of the high school in that town. After five years of successful teaching in Sandwich, he was elected principal of the Wakefield High School in 1888. By his faith- fulness, urbanity, and enthusiasm during seven years of service he won all hearts, and raised the Wakefield High School to an enviable position among the schools of the commonwealth. In the winter of 1895 he chanced to be passing through Somerville on his way to Harvard Col- lege, and being interested in the newly-erected English School, he stopped to inspect it, and be- fore leaving the city he left his name with Super- intendent Southworth as an applicant for the posi- tion of head master. The following April he had the good fortune to be chosen to the office, and thus began the successful career which we all know. In 1901 he became principal of the Evening High School in addition to his other duties. Mr. Whitcomb is connected with various educational associations; lie was the pioneer of the Barnstable County Teachers’ Association, being its first presi- dent. He has been president of the High School Masters’ Club. Other educational orders of which he is a member are the New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools, Massachu- setts Schoolmasters’ Club, Middlesex County Schoolmasters' Club. Mr. Whitcomb is a past master of DcWitt Clinton lodge, A. F. and A. M., of Sandwich. He has also been honored by being made Eminent Commander of the De Molay Com- mandery, Knights Templar. It is our sincere wish that his career in Brockton will be marked by the same signal success that has never deserted him in former times. ----------—------------------- Class Spirit ()ne hears a great deal said about school spirit and class spirit in the high schools. The school spirit in the Somerville High Schools has always been at the top notch. This may have been partly due to the fact that our athletic teams have always been a credit to the schools, and have landed more championships than any of their rivals in the Interscholastic League. The class spirit, however, does not come up to the same high standard. There is little interest in the class meetings, and some of the classes have been content to drift along without any class organization. If the class spirit continues at this rate, in a few years we shall have established a standard of which we may be proud—or otherwise. Wake up, classes, and show what spirit you have in you! SO M ER VILLE R A DIA TO R � 5 progress on tbc annex Work on the Latin School annex is progress- in with lightning-like rapidity. The brick work has been completed, and the roof has lost its crude appearance under fancy tiles of colored slate. Not- withstanding the fact that the work was for some time discontinued because of the weather, the new structure will be ready for occupancy before an- other class enters school. And while the annex is the subject of discussion, we will make the suggestion that any of the new rooms, however small, in the annex would make an ideal Radiator office. This is something that st« ff after staff has cried for without result. If ever a golden opportunity were offered for meeting this need, it is now. 'I'lie Radiator is a true represen- tative of the schools, and it is only fair that the schools should show the Radiator some token of recognition. ----------------------------- XT be baseball Concert The concert held March II, in Unitarian hall, for the benefit of the baseball team, greatly differed from those held in former years. In the past, many have expressed dissatisfaction at some of the amateur numbers on the programme, and at the quality of the witticisms that were included in the entertainment. Therefore, in order to eliminate all undesirable features the Athletic Association de- cided U|K n an entirely new plan. The first event of the evening was a minstrel show given by the members of the Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity and their friends. This number was greatly enjoyed, and no little credit is due to the coaching of Robert Nichols. Next on the programme was the Tufts College Glee Club, which furnished a very enjoyable hour. Last, but not least, came a sketch given by the Gabancetcrs, a prominent society composed of girls in the English School and graduates. Subjects for Stories When C. Sherwood Ricker was editor of the Radiator, from 1903 to 1901. lie published an ex- cellent editorial upon how a short story should be written. It would be useless for us to undertake to improve upon his ideas, but we will try to make a few suggestions regarding the subjects of short stories. The love story is a favorite subject for amateur authors. This subject is not objectionable if the author's sentiments are good, but too often the class of love stories submitted to us are productive of a weariness brought on by the fact that we have heard like variations on that theme before. Let your love stories abound in wholesome-sentiment, not sentimentality, and don't give us too many of them. There are other subjects of interest. Another failing of writers, who attempt to de- scribe a certain trip or a visit to some interesting place, is to make their account read painfully like a railroad time-table or a farmer's almanac. These stories of travel are all very well if made vivid by good descriptive work, but mere geo- graphical records cannot hold the interest of our readers. Why not, when searching for a subject for a story, forsake the old trodden paths, and look for something out of the ordinary ? Stories suggested by scientific incidents, imaginary events, adven- tures on sea and land, and other subjects, with material for which the universe is teeming, would furnish food for thought, and would give us fresh interest in this manifold life of ours. Give us new plots, Radiator contributors. £. iH. 5. jfacultp Entertained Quite the gala event of the season for the Eng- lish School faculty was the party given Saturday evening, March 10, by Head Master and Mrs. Whitcomb at their home, 11 Walnut street. About sixty invitations were accepted. The house was beautifully decorated in a manner appropriate to the unique entertainment provided, in which each guest was at the same time actor and spectator— And merry laughter circled round. The only shadow over the delightful occasion was the thought of the parting hour so soon to come when, in June, the genial head master, the kindest man. The best-conditioned and unwearied spirit In doing courtesies,” the faithful friend of each, will sever his connec- tion with the English High School, and take up associations elsewhere—a loss the English School can ill endure, and will never cease to regret. .— , , - —.� ♦.� .+.«■♦— ' .. - presentation The Woman's Relief Corps of Massachusetts, Mrs. Ilarriette A. Ralph, of Somerville, department commander, presents each year, by vote of the corps, a magnificent silk llag to some high school of the state. In the year just closed, the English High School oi Somerville was the recipient. The presentation was made at the annual state convention of the W. R. C.. held in the People’s Temple. Poston. February 14. Headmaster W hit- comb. for the school, accepted the llag in a stirring and most appreciative speech. He voiced the sen- timents of the patriotic societies present in saying that, of the many subjects taught in our schools, patriotism is of first importance, and of that subject the flag is the eloquent though silent teacher. no SOM F.RVII.I.I-; RADI ATO R £biteb Dow tbe IRaMator irs 3By U. Ipavljcv Xowell, X., ’06 In an issue of iliis magazine two years ago. an article was published on Now the Kaih.vtoi: is Managed.” As it was by one who was the.i manager, it was. of course, observed from a man- ager’s |K)bit of view. This article will be a sequel from the editor’s standpoint. The Raiuatoh is like a locomotive. 'Ihe editor is the engineer, while the manager is the fireman. The fuel, without which all attempts to run the engine would be useless, is. in this case, money. 'I he greater part i this money is obtained from the advertisements, and it is the duty of the man- ager and his assistants to procure these “ads. rore, do not be so backward in offering us your literary efforts. Last, comes the man behind the throttle who guides the engine.— the engineer. It would be futile for an engineer to attempt to run his engine without fuel or without water, and the engineer without a fireman is helpless. Thus it is with the K a diatom. The editor-in-chief is helpless without the co-operation of his manager, the staff, and the student body. I he first, but no; the most important duty, is the writing of the editorials. n editor is judged by his editorials, but the judges give little thought to COMPOSING ROOM OF T1IK S .M KRVII.I.K .lOl HNAI which are the fuel without which any school paper would be hard pressed for an existence. Not all firemen. you argue, have three assistants to help them.” This is true, but it is also true that it is no child’s play to manage a flourishing school paper like the Rvwatok, and the manager should be a tireless and conscientious worker. I ut to continue our figure. “The written mate- rial and news notes take the place of water and steam in furnishing the motive power of a maga- zine. I’ear in mind, readers, that locomotives arc often obliged to stop and take in water ; thcrc- the more responsible part of his work. With the assistance of the associate editor, the raw material must be collected, and after being corrected by the two teachers who have so kindly given their ser- vices it is the editor’s duty to take it to the com- posing room -f the Somerville Journal. Here it is printed on long slips of pajH-r. known to the pro- fession as “galleys. The first set of galleys is corrected and a new set printed. Armed with the corrected set of galleys the editor starts his most tedious task of making up the dummy.” The “dummy” should be ready for SOMERVI ELK RADIATOR 87 the printers one week before the Radiatok is to come out. An old Radiatok is taken as the dummy. and the galleys are cut to pieces and pasted over the old pages. It appears simple enough, but in reality it is no trivial matter to ar- range all the material in its proper place, at the same time limiting each page to a prescribed num- ber of lines. The present editor learned this to his sorrow upon his first attempt at setting up the dummy. for having pasted in regardless of the number f lines, he was obliged to devote tb - greater part of one afternoon to standing over the set tvpe with a type-setter, cutting down each page to the regular number of lines. Again, he has to us;- his best judgment in arranging the different departments, and must be alway s looking ahead to use the available space to the best advantage. hen the pasting in process is ended, the pages must be renumbered, and a new frontispiece se- lected. It is to the generosity of the Somerville Journal that we are indebted for our frontispieces. All the ads” have to be struck off on ‘ galleys,’’ corrected, and pasted on an ad «lummy’’ in the same manner as the literary part of the magazine, ami it is to the manager’s credit if he is not obliged to resort to the old. worn-out Compliments of a Friend” device. To those who do not understand, it may be well to say that when there are not enough advertisements to fill up the space allotted to them, rather than leave the space blank. Com- pliments of a Friend is often used. Xow that the body of the magazine is com- pleted the cover must be selected. This year the staff artist has drawn a standard cover, so all the change made is in the color of paper, and the ink. The selection of the cover for each edition is left either «o the editor or the manager. The staff artist makes a drawing much larger than the true size of the cover to allow its being photographed down by the engraver in order to make a cut. After the cover is completed it is bound with the rest of the paper, and the whole is then submitted to the student body in the form which you all know so well. B IDisQutsefc ©pportunttv S3 3obn 1R. Xafcfn, J£., ’06 ARTOX was working out his appren- ticeship on the Denver Argus. This warm summer’s day he thought as he went about his work, If I could only be a reporter, and get a big space in the Sunday edition. I’d be satisfied. Those social reports of mine were all right and the society editor said 1 could write well enough. I guess I’ve had plenty of experience counting the four years I wrote for the High School Cleaner. If I only had a chance. I think I could do the work all right. For weary weeks he performed the duties of all printer's devils and each night would read to try to increase his vocabulary in the hope that some day he would have the chance to use it. When the winter with its howling winds and blinding storms set in. Marlon had given up hope of ever becoming a reporter. « « � « In the city editor's office things were all in a hubbub. The editor was sitting at bis desk scrib- bling and chewing savagely at the stub of a cigar. A nice mess. Every one of the city men either sicK or worked about to pieces, and there’s that mining demonstration down at Leadville and no one to cover it. he grumbled. 'I he pen continued to scratch out editorials, when suddenly the office door was opened and Barton entered, bringing a copy of some reporter’s work. Here’s Mr. Henson’s story, sir. he said, and laid the paper on the desk and departed. When Barton was gone the editor stopped writ- ing and sat deep in thought. His face wore a puz- zled look as if in deep meditation. J don’t know whether I'm right in doing this, but I’m going to do it and take chances. Here. boy. send Joe Barton to me!’’ he said, and lie continued his scratching. Barton appeared and said. You sent for me, sir? Yes. Can you cover that mine job to-day? I’m short of men. and if you think you can do it, you can have the chance.” Barton could not suppress a smile of gratitude, and he replied. I think I can satisfy you, Mr. Rhodes, anyway I’ll try to. ' Well, you’ve got to hustle some if you get there on time. Xow. don't overdo it. just use your judgment. Barton left the office and was soon on the 1.38 speeding toward Ia adville. Well, now it’s up to me. he thought as he gazed out at the fast disappearing town. If I don't make good on this chance, I may as well give up. The Plaza mine was soon reached, and Barton was among the last of the party to go down the deep. blacK shaft. The company's officers were alreadv demonstrating the value of their property and the assayers were now making public assays. Barton jotted down notes and was thinking up the introduction when the president rose and said, (ientlemen, kindly be as calm as possible. 1 have just received word that the main supply pipe in vein nineteen has burst and the water is rapid'y rising. If you value your lives don't run, but take your time. Keep cool. as SOMKRVILLH RADIATOR In all gatherings there arc some thoughtless people and this one was no exception. One burly mine worker, not heeding the words of the presi- dent. started to run through the crooked passage to tire shaft, with the result that others fi.llowc.l as cattle will follow their leader. Above all the noise came the voice of the presi- dent to stop running.' But it did no good, ar.d for a time it seemed as if pandemonium would reign in the mine. Barton, however, being late, was in the rear of the passage, and seeing trouble inevitable, ran to the guard doors of the shaft and sprang into the eleva- tor. locking the doors behind him. Let us in. cried the fear-crazed miners. Xot until you get in line. answered Barton. As there was probable drowning on one side and life on the other, the miners finally got in line and were taken up the shaft. Barton was much chagrined at the thought of losing his mining story and as he hoarded his train for home lie thought. My only chance snatched away from me. I guess I'll have to change my trade.” As lie walked into the editor’s office, he almost trembled at the thought of reporting his failure. Did you get it? were the first words Mr. Rhodes said to him. No. sir. said Barton, an accident happened in the mine, and I got only a few assayers’ reports.” Tell me about the accident. Barton. and Joe sat down and related the whole affair to his chief. “Pretty close call. I should judge. But say, hoy, you’ve got a better story out of that accident than a dozen demonstrations can give. I hat’s all right, and sav. if you're not too tired you can take that housewarming to-night. I'll take it and get it in in time for the morning edition.” said Barton, and he left the office. The story of the mine disaster was supplemented the next day by an account of the bravery of Joseph Bar ton. As Joe Barton, reporter for the Denver Argus, goes about on the alert for a “story. many a smile and cheery word greet him from those who have heard of his heroic conduct at the Plaza mine disaster. TLhc School 36abe jEvelvn Gousens, '06 11K Babe! It certainly was not because of his size that he was called this; for there were many boys at the academy smaller than he. It was probably because of that first day at the acad- emy, when, as he sat on the stone wall, thinking longingly of home, a crowd of fel- lows had come down the walk toward him. One of them, seeing the disconsolate look on his face, had said to his companions, loud enough however for the new pupil to hear. Why. fellows, this must be the school babe.” The others had glanced at him with a superior air. and passed on. leaving the bov with a deeper longing than ever for home. Since then lie had always been known as the Babe: for if lack Spencer had called him that, it must he an appropriate name. He had often wished he might do something big to show Jack Spencer he was not the School Babe. Indeed lie was at the head of his class ; but that seemed to make no dif- ference lie had made many friends at the acad- emy : but he openly despised Jack Spencer, who had lost no opportunity to make him the laughing stock for the others. Jack’s popularity was ac- knowledged by all. and even when the School Babe had asked his best friend if he really liked Jack Spencer, the answer had been, “Of course.” But the Babe was not convinced. Jack’s treatment of the Babe had become so harsh that the other fel- lows termed it not quite “square.” for lie was a pretty good fellow after all. One morning as the Babe was passing through the hall he was stopped by Jack Spencer, who evi- dently had planned something for the amusement of some of his friends, who stood by in a group near enough to hear what should be said. The Babe was about to pass on without noticing the in- terruption. when Jack spoke. Of course you arc going to compete for the essay prize, this year?” What essay prize?” asked the Babe. Oh. you know we have a prize contest every year. The prize is in money, and I’ve taken it for three years: but I suppose you arc going to take it away from me this year. he added with his most sarcastic smile. I didn’t know anything about it. I don’t think I care to try. and the Babe turned to go. Why don’t you say you don’t dare to try?” “Why shouldn't I dare to try? Certainly not simply because you are going to try for it. f have changed my mind. I think 1 will try for it.” and with that he walked away, while Jack confided to his friends. I knew 1 could make him say he would try for it. Just wait and see how I am going to fix him.” The School Babe worked for many days over his essay. His friends wished him success, but of course they told him it was of no use to try against lack Spencer, although there were to be more con- testants than usual this year. It was customary for one of the upper classmen to collect the essays and place them in a box in the principal's office. The Babe handed his essay to the boy with pride, little knowing of Jack Spen- cer's plan to get that essay before it reached the box in the principal’s office. 'Hie upper classman, who would agree to any- thing Jack proposed, brought the essay immedi- SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 89 ately to him. He worked over it for several min- utes. changing as many words on the first page as nossiklc to make it sound ridiculous. ()f course when the Babe should begin to read his essay, as soon as he came to the first change he would either have to stop and leave the platform or read it in the face of the ridicule of the school and the many visitors. With a satisfied expression Jack Spencer passed the essay with his own to his friend, who placed them with the others in the principal’s box. Late i i the afternoon the Babe thought of a word which he had wrongly used in his essay. He would ask permission from the principal to change it. The principal complied: for he liked the Babe. When the Babe received his essay the first page looked very strange. Surely he had not erased so many words! He looked again at the unintelligible medley of words and this time the whole affair was plain to him. There was but one boy in the school wno would do such a mean thing; but how Jack Spencer had obtained the essay was a mystery. Mr. Sawyer. he said, may I take this page to mv room a minute? Yes. if you bring it directly back.” He took the page to his room, hastily copied it and returned it to Mr. Sawyer. The evening of the contest the large hall was filled, for this was one of the most interesting af- fairs of the year. Essays had been read, among them that of Jack Spencer, who had come down from the platform triumphant; for he knew the prize was his. But there was one more essay to be read. The School Babe stepped upon the platform and began to read in a clear voice. Jack Spencer listened with amazement. The Babe must have learned it. and be speaking it instead of reading it; for he could but notice the changes. But no, he was certainly reading it. He sat now listening intently to every word; for what if the Babe’s es- say should be better than his! It certainly sounded well. The Babe had ceased reading and had left the platform amidst a storm of applause. After some moments the judge arose and an- nounced the outcome of the contest. Jack Spencer thought he must have misunderstood. It was im- possible! He turned to a friend beside him and demanded in a loud voice, What did he say?” He said.” replied his friend, that the Babe has won the prize.” The next morning astonishment was written on the face of each boy as he learned that Jack Spen- cer had left the academy for good. But the Babe was not surprised. ZLbc Cabin departure JS ? ir. id. TWlaterbouse, J£., '06 RANK Ellis had been watching the men load the big British steel ship, day by day, until now the last piece was aljoard and on the morrow she was to draw down into the lower bay, there to wait for a fair wind to carry her home to England. He had made friends with many of the sailors, and had often wished that he might have the chance to go to sea. Frank looked up and saw Mr. (Jordon coming down the wharf toward him. The cordial way in which the mate greeted him showed they were great friends. Frank, what makes you look so troubled?” was his first question. Mv aunt, with whom 1 live, grows crosscr every day and she will not let me rest for a moment, but makes me work from morning till night.” Frank.” said the mate of the big full-rigged ship Charles. How would you like to go to sea on the Charles? I have been sent out by Mr. Morgan to get a bright young fellow to ship as cabin boy.” 1 have often wished to go to sea and would love to go in a ship. Do you think 1 would suit Mr. Morgan and do you think I can go it my aunt will let me? Captain Morgan has noticed you as you have been around the dock watching them load the ship, and 1 heard him remark what a fine, manly little fellow you were. Yes, you will do all right, but be sure you wouldn't get homesick, for it will be too late to come back when we get started.” No danger of that.” Well then, go and see what your aunt has to say about it.” Frank ran up the wharf into the house, as if his verv life deluded upon it. Well, what is the trouble now, you little good- for-nothing brat? said his aunt, who was busy ironing. Oh. Mr. Gordon says he will take me to sea with him. if you will let me go. He did. did he? Well, he is welcome to you. And when did he say you were to be ready? He didn't say, but the sailors said the ship was to pull down the bay with the flood tide.” Well, get about yourself, for I’m too busy with Mrs. Scott’s washing to bother, and do all your things up and put them in that little black trunk in your room.” Frank went up stairs and placed his few things in his trunk. 'Flic trunk used to belong to his mother, who died when he was only a baby. As lie packed each article in place lie thought of her and wondered if she could see and guide his present movements. But at last he had everything in his trunk, and brought it down stairs. J0 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 11 is aunt met him, and although site did not care much for him. she gave him a small purse, with what seemed to I'rank a lot of money, but five dol- lars was a fortune to him. Frank put his trunk on his shoulders and in a few minutes arrived at the ship. There he met Jim Burton. the boatswain. Hello. Frankie, my hoy. going to try your luck- on the old clipper? Well, you could do worse. Although Jim was a good sailor, lie was very apt to get drunk, and twice Frankie had brought him to the ship, when without such a pilot he might have got into trouble. Yes. Jim. I'm going to ship as boy, hope I prove all right. “Xo doubt about it. you’ve got the stuff and one of these days you may command a bigger ship than even this one. It has been done. Just then Mr. Gordon saw Frank and called him down into the cabin, where Captain Morgan was, also his wife and daughter. So you would like to go to sea with us? said the captain. Yes. sir. Well, make yourself at home and I will send Rastus to get your berth fixed. Captain Morgan called to his big black cook, who was setting the table. Rastus, show the boy forward and fit his berth out of the shop.” All right, sir. Frank now marched forward to his new quarters. The ship was nearing her voyage and by the last sun she was 2° 20' west. '� 0° north, and everything had been put in condition. Frank had made friends with the sailors and also with Mrs. Morgan, who had taught him to read, while she was teaching her little daughter. The captain had ordered all the top royals furled, for after working up the channel with fair weather, the ship had suddenly struck a thick fog, and double watch was ordered. Frankie! hey. little fellow, bring us up a bite. said tbe big boatswain. All right, sir. Here it is. sir. Thank you. my boy. We arc to have a bad run up the channel to-night, thick as mud and too inanv steamers for comfort. Steamer two points off the port, sir. sang the lookout. Keep her off two points. sang the mate to the man at the wheel. Keep her off two points, sir, answered the man. All was still, every ear was directed to catch the answer to the ship’s horn, and the captain had come on deck, followed by his wife. The lookout had just time to yell hard aport. when a big, black French liner loomed up out of the mist, and before the ship could fetch around, the liner tore into her. Tlic sailors made a break for the rigging and ran up on to the steamer’s deck. Frankie, who had been standing beside big Jim Burton, now thought only of the captain’s family. Quick, boy. on my back, and I will carry you up into the steamer. ' Never mind me, Jim. Go. quick, and save the little girl asleep in the cabin. |im sprang for the companion-way and in a sec- ond appeared with the little girl in his arms. Thank God, murmured Mrs. Morgan, who had refused to leave the ship, but whose husband was now cat rving her up the rigging aboard the steamer. Jim followed with the little girl. Frank had given way to them, and was the last one, as he climbed slowly up with his little hands. lim started back for our little hero, reached out and just hauled him over the steamer’s rail, when the old ship fell away and disappeared from sight. Oh. Jim. how can I ever repay you. Don’t thank me. Missis, thank the boy, it was him who thought of her. Oh. my dear little boy.” cried Mrs. Morgan, as she kissed and kissed Frankie. The steamer proved to be the La Paris bound for Le Havre. On the steamer, the rescued crew were all given fresh clothing and the passengers were very kind to Mrs. Morgan and her little girl. The steamer arrived safely at Lc Havre although leaking badly. Mrs. Morgan and her husband had become very much attached to little Frankie. They stopped in Le Havre a day to see the British consul, and ar- ranged to have the sailors returned to England.

SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 9i H IHcro of tbe Jfuture Hrtbur C. Go 06 ATRICKSV Oktrupatkin had been un- der a severe nervous strain for some months, so it was but natural that he should turn up comfortably seated on a boulder, casting; his line into the clear waters of Yellowstone lake. One early morning when all the world was alive with light and color. Pat” sauntered from the ho- tel. From his belt hung his pocket-phone, and be- side it a case of prism-plates”—a plate very sensi- tive to color. Thus equipped he spent the morning and early afternoon in the woods. nd here it was that he was awakened from the reveries into which he had fallen under the spell of that wonderful drama. Abraham Lincoln. by the persistent ring- ing of his pocket-phone. Still not over alert, he placed the receiver to his ear and rang the response call. In a moment this was picked up by some one, and by the sudden light in his eye the message must have been of some importance. The fact was that it was a summons to report at the Chicago branch of the International Historical Research bureau by eleven o'clock that evening. Now thoroughly awake, he rang a lively tattoo on the 'phone and was picked up by the hotel. Telling them where he was. he demanded a speedabout as soon as possible, and then buckling the 'phone once more to his belt, he made for the road not far distant. While waiting for the auto he looked at his chronometer, which showed it to be already half-past four. Here it is well to explain that the speedabouts were little electric carriages in the hotel service operated by a wireless transmission of current from the general power-house of the hotel. Three minutes later the speedabout appeared and whizzed Pat back to the hotel. Once there he snatched up his ever- ready traveling case and then dashed out again in an SSO to the depot, where he boarded the Terminal express as it drew away from the station. So he was off again : his little rest was ended. As Pat stepped out on the platform, around and above him rose the huge terminal of the Co- operative Union of Transportation and Exprcssage, otherwise known as the Cute.'' Into the little box” waiting in front of him and up lie dew through a maze of trestlework and myriad zigzag- ging arms of steel to the upper level, where he leis- urelv got out. Ear below a shimmering plain of dancing color showed him the earth he had just left: around him surged an ever-increasing throng of people, railroad clerks, baggage hands, check agents, and all the cosmopolitan crowd that pat- ronized the Cute : above him. casting a shadow deep and refreshing in contrast with the glaring light all about, the huge car hung. She seemed like some great bird so motionless she poised, with outspread acrioplancs. on a staging far too frail for such an immense ship, it would seem. Into this was pouring and emptying constantly a stream of life from moving platforms which led up to the open companionway. As Pat waited, out of the distance from the north shot a car, a black speck on the horizon, yet in the mere fraction of a minute she became so large as to seem to hover directly over him. but sank as light as a feather to the next level. The crowd soon was hurrying from this to his car. and he joined them as a gong struck. Two minutes later the plated doois swung silently to. casting off the moving platforms and tangled cables. The people docked to the windows. The chronometer at the head of the smoking saloon pointed to three minutes past five as Patricksy en- tered. He would be in Chicago at seventeen min- utes past ten. It I eing the fashion to sleep when- ever one could. Pat adjusted one of the big chairs into a veritable couch and fell instantly into slumber. We will leave him here and watch the departure of the car. Strange as it may seem, the lives of the five hun- dred people were entrusted to the care of one lone man. There he stood, alone in the how, exiled from the rest of the world : six square feet of floor 100m is his bridge. The needle of a dial quivered : his restless hands sped over the delicate keyboard. The car shook itself like a living thing and shot up into the air. Again his hands passed quickly over the board, and the car. balancing an instant in its upward course, sped straight ahead. Thus the great aerioplanes that guided the car were governed by this pilot of the air with a few swift passes over that sensitive keyboard: yet this car was but the puppet of a force almost immeasurable in its power, the same something that forces a needle to jump towards a magnet, that is all it is— this car, made of a metal infinitely sensitive to mag- netism. was forced to whirl along an invisible cable of electric current, as a chip speeds down a sluice- way. Thus the miles and time flew by till the car with a graceful drop lit quietly on the top level of the enormous Chicago terminal. A minute later and all the lighted car was noise and hurry again. Pat joined the crowd and stepped out onto the moving platform. Above and around him was the vast, dark night: the lighted level at his feet: and down, down, down, tangling, flaring shadows to the frcckled-lighted city far beneath. Rapidly they descended to the level, and he dove into one of the crowded little boxes and dropped again through shadowy trestlework. crossed by swinging search- lights. past brilliantly-lighted levels. Five hundred feet he dropped to mother earth. Seeking a slot- machine. he extracted six tablets labeled break- fast. lunch. and dinner, two of each. When the tablets had disappeared Patricksy Oktrupatkin turned again into the crowd, and reported at the Bureau a full half hour before lie was expected. 92 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Btblettc litotes Baseball Concert The annual baseball benefit took place at Uni- tarian hall March 14. The concert was a depart- ure from those that have been held during past rears, only three numbers being on the programme. The minstrel show given by the Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity, assisted by Walter Anderton and under the direction of Robert Nichols, was the main feature of the evening. James Nichols was interlocutor. while William Denvir, James Doughty, Eric Bishop, and Samuel Barker were the ondmen. Mr. Denvirs solo. Is Everybody Ilappv?” received great applause, and the other numbers were almost equally well received. The solo. Starlight. by Mr. Anderton. whose wonder- ful mezzo-soprano falsetto has been the feature of the cadet shows for two years, was the hit of the evening. Mr. Anderton was encored many times and was presented a beautiful bouquet by Manager Freeman at the end of his number. Those who took part in the chorus were Bergen Reynolds, Archer Bowlby, Barker Lowell, Charles Mills. Lawrence Bowlby, Lester Graves. Edmund Twoliig. Joseph Whitaker. John Hall, Willard Davis, Elmer Derby. Edwin Sibley. Raymond Wiley. Ernest Yer Wiebe. William Henderson, Hubert Coan. Richard Keyes. William Elliott. Seward Jarvis. Walter Gray, Malcolm Fillmore, Eugene Brine, and Frederick Elliott. 'I'he Gabancetcr Girls Club was next in order, and the two songs rendered by them were well ic- ceived. The solo parts were taken by the Misses Pillsburv and Gordon. The Tufts Glee and Mandolin Clubs wound up the evening’s entertainment. Their songs and pieces were well rendered. The “Nonsense Rhvmes made a great hit. The clubs were assisted by Mr. Gale, whose read- ings and pantomimes excited much applause. 'I hc hall was filled, and the concert was a great success in every way. ---------o-------- I hiring the February vacation Captain E. Twoliig called cut the battery candidates, who prac- ticed a number of times in the Tufts cage and since then they have been using the Armory. Coach Cuddy again has charge of the men. who are al- ready showing good form. The recent bad weather has kept the candidates from getting out of doors and will necessitate all the more practice when they do get out. Those wljp have reported for the battery posi- tions are: Catcher. Driscoll. McLaughlin. L. Bowlby. and Elliott. The candidates for pitcher are: Nichols. Holland, Munroe, and Coombs. Half of these fellows were prominent on last year’s team, and the outlook is especially bright for the coming season as far as these two positions are concerned, but Burns, at first base. Blair, at short- stop. and Higgins, at third, arc gone. These were three good ones, but there are surely three fellows in the Somerville High Schools who can become just as good. For the other positions there are tne same players as last year, but their positions will be strongly contested by new-comers. Now fellow-schoolmates, you. one and all, know what happened last year. Are we going to have a repetition of last year again this year? That de- pends upon you. I'he first game is April 10, with Hyde Bark at Broadway field. Let everybody turn out to the first game and start the season by cheering our team on. Show them that we are confident in their ability to land another of those coveted pennants for us. And when you attend a game don’t sit and watch with criticising eye and closed mouth. Get enthusiastic! That’s what a team wants in its supporters, enthusiasm! Now see if everyone can’t take this to himself. Don’t wait for your neighbor to go, but take your neigh- bor with you. So let one and all join in the toast, A successful season to the ’06 baseball team.” Manager Freeman has arranged the following schedule:— April 10, Hyde Bark at Somerville; April 14, Boston College Preparatory at Somerville; April 10.

Among the candidates for the Brown Univer- sity nine are: Bailie” Graham. “Allie” Dickinson, Carl Jones, and Raymond Tift, all of whom were stars in their high school days. Maurice Blair, captain of last year’s nine, is out for the Bowdoin team and is the most promising candidate for shortstop, which position he played on Somerville High.

March 98 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR it, and was one full of interest, especially to the new “Geks. Knight and Gray were put through the final stunts, and were then formally taken into the fraternity. It is not the custom of the members to take candidates into the fraternity upon such short notice, but as Knight and Gray are Seniors it was desirable that they should receive as much benefit from the fraternity as possible. Gray and Knight arc from the class of 1906, Latin School. ()ther business occupied the members until a late hour, which made the bountiful collation, which was then served, all the more acceptable. The meeting was then adjourned, and the mem- bers disbanded. The last of the Gek germans was given on Thursday, March 1. at Anthoine's Academy, and was a brilliant ending to the series of three ger- mans given by the fraternity. l he hall looked very pretty, being decorated with the fraternity colors, green and white. The same ladies that served as matrons at the two pre- ceding germans served in the same capacity at the last one, with the exception of Mrs. Heard, who was obliged to be absent on account of illness. The floor was again in charge of Bergen Reynolds, his assistants being James Nichols, Seward T. Jarvis, Lester L. Graves. Edmund J. Twohig. Richard Keyes. R. Archer Bowlby, William Elliott, 11. Parker Lowell, and Herbert A. Coan. The ice cream was a novelty, since it was pis- tachio and vanilla, thus forming the fraternity colors, l he music was especially good, being fur- nished by Poole's first orchestra, the fraternitv being fortunate in securing Mr. Poole himself. 'I bis of course added much to the enjoyment of the dance. The members of the fraternity feel highly pleased at the success of the germans. and will un- doubtedly give another series another year. -------------------------------------------- Jf. Jli. p. During the past vacation the E. II. P. members did not desist from their arduous duties. And now what is the result? The quarters of the club have been remodeled and freshened by an elaborate coat of paint. The basket ball team, which was identically the same that represented the club last year, did not once lower its colors in token of submission, and now at the end of the season it stands undefeated. Surely this is an appropriate climax for the team, as but few of the members will represent the club in athletics another year Taking into consideration the fact that the E. II. P. was first formed with the noble purpose in view to establish for itself precedence in basket ball, now that the season of 1906 is over it seems well to bring the career of this magnanimous organiza- tion to an honorable termination. For two years we have struggled manfully for predominance in basket ball, and this year the E. II. P. banner was unstained by defeat. Now should come a well- deserved rest. Therefore, be it resolved that the F. H. P. Fraternity make an honorable and graceful exit from the ranks of secret societies, having achieved its purpose. And be it further resolved that all those connected with the E. H. 1 , either socially or financially, conduct themselves with the same gentlemanly deportment as though the E. II. P. still existed, and carry the fraternal secrets to the grave rather than let them be divulged to the curi- ous world. Do not think for a moment, sagacious readers, that we have taken this rash step blindly. We have given it a great amount of deep thought and have come to the conclusion that since the world was in excellent running order before the E. H. P. .ex- isted, that even though the E. II. P. were no more, the world would still consent to. revolve on its axis three hundred and sixtv-fivc days in the year. Thanking you, one ami all. for your kind atten- tion and interest, we beg to inform you that hence- forward this popular fraternal order will be but one long, sweet reminiscence of bygone days. The F. H. P. is dead ! Long live the E. H. P. ----------------------------- G. H. V. A meeting of the G. A. V. was held at the home of Miss Ritchie, 54 Bartlett street, on the evening of February ?. During the evening plans for a Valentine party were discussed. The Valentine party, which took place at the residence of Miss Savage, on College avenue, Feb- ruary 14. proved a decided success. During the first part of the evening appropriate amusements were indulged in. Prizes were awarded to Clifford Haynes. Arthur Elvcdt, Miss Stearns, and Miss Ritchie. The inner man was thoroughly provided for. to the pleasure of all. as was evidenced by the appetites with which all disposed of the ample supply of delicacies. 'Flic remainder of the even- ing was spent in dancing. Those present were: Miss Savage. Miss Stearns. Miss Pease. Miss Scavcr. Miss Hicks. Miss Ritchie, and Miss Bart- lett. John Boyce. Harold Kibbon. Parker Lowell, Harry Miley. Richard Fernandez, Arthur Elvcdt, and Clifford Haynes. ()n the evening of February 28, the club mem- bers were very cordially entertained at the home of Miss Seaver. on Conwcll avenue, despite the storm which prevailed. ---------------------------- H Coming Event Mbicb Hll Sboulb TUccp in iDinb The S.

Club of the High Schools, aided by its many friends, intends to give a vaudeville show and dance at Odd Fellows hall April 25, and from the present golden prospect expects a large attend- ance.

SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 99 XT be Comino Ueeb Sbow The students of the Somerville High Schools will be interested to know that this year’s Tech show may be seen in Malden auditorium Friday even- ing, April 27. This show has become recognized as one of the best of amateur theatricals seen in this vicinity. The students are booming this year’s produc- tion in a manner and on a scale never before at- tempted. Besides the usual performances at the Colonial theatre and the Malden performance mentioned above, a third presentation will be given in Providence. The present play, The Freshman. in two acts and an interlude, together with all music, has been written by a Tech man as usual. As first- class professional coaches are staging the show, and the most enthusiastic and interested work is being put in by the sixty men in the cast, the 1906 production is expected to carry the standard of Tech shows higher than ever before. The only Opportunity afforded outsiders interested in Tech to see this successful college play will be at the Auditorium, for it has become so popular that the Boston matinees for a number of years past have been sold out to the last inch of standing room. We expect to be able to give in a future issue pictures of some of the principals and full particu- lars for obtaining seats. The management desires us to announce that clubs and societies who wish to obtain a number of scats together will be shown every possible courtesy.

'09 104 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S IRemintecences Upon hearing' the word April, our thoughts at once revert to the 19th of April, 1775. Then it was that our country made its first decisive strike for liberty. That date will stand next to the Fourth of July in every true American's heart, and the pic- turesque villages of Lexington and Concord will long owe their fame to that first conflict of the Revolution. It was April, too. when Fort Sumter was fired on. and on the ninth of April, just forty-one years ago. was ended the most disastrous conflict in which this nation ever engaged. By the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to General Ulysses S. Grant, at Appomattox court house, the war of the rebellion was brought to a timely close. On the 21st day of the same month, after a period of thirty-three years another war began; for it was then that war was formally declared with Spain. That was not long ago, and we can still distinctly recall how our young pulses thrilled with excitement upon the news that the gunboat Nash- ville had captured the first prize of the war on April 22, 1898. Soon after, on May 1. by his brilliant victory at Manila, Admiral Dewey sent even a keener thrill of patriotism through our veins. Then we remember how we followed victory after victory, how anxiously we watched the “bull- dog of the American navy.” the battleship Oregon, on her perilous yet successful trip around the Horn, in time to participate in the total annihilation of Cervcra’s squadron oflf Santiago. And lastly came that memorable fight at San- tiago. in which President Roosevelt won his fame at San Juan hill, and which resulted in the complete overthrow of Spanish tyranny in Cuba. ----------------------------- Hn Hpoloov? We greatly dislike to make an apology, or to be forced to do so. However, an apology is more honorable than an excuse, although we should pre- fer to resort to neither. But the time has presented itself when we must choose one of these evils, and therefore we cheerfully accept the lesser. We offer the said apology for not publishing the March number of the Radiator on schedule time. Although it may have had that appearance, the publication of the March Radiator was not an April fool ioke. but rather an unavoidable acci- dent. We shall not attempt to implicate any one as blamable for this deed. We have felt it our duty to be responsible for whatever befalls this ad- ministration of the Radiator, and intend to do so as far as possible. Perhaps it would be advisable for the staff-artist to draw an elaborate poster for the editor's use bearing the following inscription: “All Kicks Cheerfully Received ’ ----------------------------- Car of XT banks It is the desire of the editor to thank Harry Phelps, L.. ’07, for filling the position of Henry G. Doyle during the latter's prolonged absence on account of illness. We also extend our thanks to Charles Mills. E.. ’08. for services rendered by him in the absence of E. Harley Moore, the editor from that class. ------------------------- Soliloquy About the first snatch of poetry to arouse our in- terest in our younger days was that immortal line from Gray’s Elegy” quoted bv General Wolfe, be- fore the storming of Quebec:— “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” That one line has furnished us much food for thought during the years that have elapsed since we first became acquainted with those words. “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” That is true, but does that tend to discourage one from enter- ing upon a path of glory? Do not all paths lead but to the grave? Have not we all to choose some SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 105 path in life? What could make a more honorable course to that inevitable termination than a path of glory? Let us then strive to follow a path that will be not only a glory to ourselves, but to all with whom we come in contact. frontispiece The frontispiece this month is the jjortrait of a lady. It has long been our sincere desire to show Mrs. Barbara Lai pin some token of our esteem, and even this can be but a feeble expression of our gratitude. For many years Mrs. (ialpin has been prominently connected with the Somerville Journal, and as the business manager of that publication has extended numerous courtesies to this and to past administrations of the Radiato� . ■ '.4.� 4 --------— XIbe Hbvent of Spring Spring is here! How often have we heard these words! Yet we do not tire of them. We thought spring was here over a month ago, but after all it was but a delusion; for the storm came, the ther- mometer fell, the blizzard raged, and the early sprouts of vegetation were buried in many inches of that beautiful, beautiful snow. Our joy over the signs of approaching spring was also buried. Such is the way of the world; nature is deceptive and fickle: uncertainty is the spice of life. ()ur last editorial upon the signs of spring was stalled by the fiercest blizzard of the winter. How- ever. we have collected our scattered thoughts, and have waited patientlv from day to day until we might feel positive that we heard spring knocking softly for admittance. At last the spinal column of winter is fractured, and April reigns. The coming of spring fills our souls with an in- expressible joy, a sensation of indefinable sublim- ity. that can be translated only by poets and by them but poorly. But is spring accompanied only by joyous emotions? We wish we could answer that question impartially, but we have the mis- fortune to belong to the graduating class. To us the approach of spring heralds the approach of graduation. We can see the cold, cruel world beckoning us. and we do not want to go. We do not yet have full confidence in our power of flight, but prefer to nestle longer in this institution that for four years has sheltered us. What, may we ask. has been our sole aim during these four years? Was it not to be graduated? How hard it is to give satisfaction to everyone! Xost anfc TK on J6 ? 3ames H. jflabcrt$, H., ’06 ISIXG from the comfortable chair in which he had been comfortably re- clining John Stinson walked slowly across the lawn and seated himself upon the settee beneath the old oak. It was one of those rare.- beautiful June nights: the moon shone full in all its splendor, and a death-like stillness seemed to have settled over the earth. Six long years ago, on just such a night as this. John had sat in the same spot listening to the tender, loving advice of his mother, and he heaved a deep sigh as the thought came back to him. Six years ago to-morrow he had left his home to go to the Philippines, as a member of an engi- neering corps. The first two years of his stay there had been pleasant enough, but one day he received a cablegram announcing the death of his mother. The blow was a terrible one to John, and all the worse that he could not go home to attend her funeral. His duties in the Philippines had kept his m'nd somewhat off his great sorrow, but to-day when he arrived at the old homestead, the meaning of hi?. great loss was driven home to him, and the place seemed vacant and lonely. He sat for some time so deeply engrossed in his thoughts that he heard nothing until he was roused by a touch on his shoulder. Turning, he found his old chum, Frank Morris. Hello, Frank. I did not hear a thing until you touched my shoulder. Sit down and make, your- self at home.” I was surprised this morning when 1 heard you had come home,” said Frank. “What’s up? Oh. nothing. My contract ran out and 1 thought I would come home unexpectedly and spring a surprise. Things are not as they were when I went away. Frank, and not until to-day did 1 realize what it all meant. “Yes, John. I know how you must feel, but now that your mother is gone you must try to overcome your grief”: and thinking to change the subject. Frank said : I came over to-night to ask you to attend a lawn party at our home to-morrow night. Only a few intimate friends. John, and I know you will enjoy it.” I ain afraid that 1 can’t go. Frank, much as I would like to. io6 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR ‘.'And why not? broke in Frank. My sifter Elsie and a few more of your old chums will be there and we will have a jolly good time.” If Frank could have seen John’s face he would have noticed that it turned a deep crimson at the mention of his sister Elsie’s name. Now old chap.” Frank continued, you must come; I won’t go until you say yes. If you are staying away because you think mv sister does not want you, you are mistaken. She has not been the same since you two had that falling out. and 1 know that if you come everything will be all right. Now say yes. old chap, do.” After much hesitation John promised he would come. They sat for a long time, talking over old times, until they were reminded of the late hour by the sound of the town clock as it tolled the hour of eleven. Giving him a hearty hand-shake, and reassuring him he would come to the party, John bade Frank good-night, and walked slowly toward the house. A better night for a lawn party never came, and the company of young people that gathered on the brilliantly lighted lawn of the Chesley mansion were a happy, gay set. Our hero enjoyed himself immensely: more so than he had at any time since his mother’s death. Elsie had received him kindly enough, but rather coollv, and he felt that he must see her before he went. John had told her that he wished to see her alone, and she had replied that he might see her for a few moments after the rest had gone. She quite suspected what inspired him to ask, and it is safe to say that she was as anxious as he. After the guests had gone, and they stood to- gether upon the veranda. John felt, as he looked down upon her, that she was the most beautiful woman in all the world, and six years had wrought but little change. If it is not too late, could you play a few of the old songs we used to sing?” said John. As the two went to the piano, and Elsie seated herself upon the stool she softly said, Always back to this spot. and colored a little. What shall it be?” she said. “One of those sad, sweet ballads you used to like so well?” No.” he answered. I don’t feel that way to- night, but perhaps I shall feel sad before I go. Her eyes fell, for she saw what was in his mind, and rising quickly, she turned away. But a strong hand held her fast, and she heard him say:— Elsie, you know why I came here to-night. It was to ask your forgiveness and to win you back that I came.” Then she felt his arm clasp her waist, and his voice trembled a little as he said. “Tell me, Elsie, am I to go away to-night still unhappy? Give me your answer, yes or no.” He heard her softly murmur. Yes.” Not for four years had John Stinson been so happy as he was that night, and when he reached his own home its vacant loneliness had disappeared, and he was more his old-time self. Zhc TlXUreck of tbc Blvin IRussell J y OrC vav fTeafc, X., 'OS NE drowsy August afternoon we boys were sitting in a cozy old fish shed, listening to the sea tales of Uncle Ben, an old tar. who had been in the life saving service for forty years. He made a striking picture as he sat there, brown, wrinkled, and bald, with his broad forehead, fine, straight nose, and bushy beard pro- filed against the tarred net behind him. His kind blue eyes were dreamily looking off to sea, and be- tween his teeth he held the stub of a corncob, black with age. As he sat there smoking this worn-out pipe, and watching the fishing dories round Long Point after the morning’s work, he said:— “Boys, did I ever tell ye 'bout the wreck o’ the Alvin Russell?” We said he hadn’t, and waited for him to begin. He re-lit his pipe and began his talc in true Cape Cod style:— It was the terrible winter o’ ’83, and I was then in the life-saving service over at Peaked Hill Bav. “One evenin’ we was havin’ a bad nor’-eastcr. and I was to go on duty at twelve o'clock. I woke up some time after ’leven. put on my sou’wester and oilskins, and started out. Nothin' happened until I was on the last beat home, and then I heard a distress signal,—that is. the report of a cannon. P’rhaps I wa'n’t startled! Boys, ye can’t imagine what that night was like! I ken tell vc. that beach wa’n’t lit by ’lectric lights by a darn sight! It was as black as ink. The sleet and sand and spray cut my face, and blinded me so as I could hardly see. The wind was enough to take a feller your size off his feet, and it made a divil of a racket, but when that gun went off it sounded as though some one had fired a pistol behind my ear. and I dodged back. “The report seemed to come from the cast. ins:de the bar, and when T looked I saw a red light, awful near, prob’ly hung from a masthead. As an answering signal, I set off my Coston light to show that their signal was seen and understood, and returned to the station. I woke the cap’n and reported the disaster. Then the other men left at the station were called out. They took the gun and breeches buoy down SOMERVILLE RADIATOR the beach to the south, until we saw the lights. We shot the lyle line aimin’ at the red light, and pretty soon some one on board the ship pulled in the line to get the breeches buoy. They gave the signal and we hauled in the car. “Sittin’ there wet and shiverin’ was a young girl holdin' a little poodle in her lap. She was a sad- lookin’ spectacle. Her hair was undone and livin’ in the gale. An oilskin coat she had on was frozen stiff, and her skirts, soaked and frozen, clung to her. “1 was ordered to take her to the station, and make her comfortable. Several times on the way 1 thought she would faint, but she held out mighty plucky. At last we got to the station, and the girl was made comfortable with coffee and dry clothes which are kept for such occasions. The dog also was quickly thawed out. and he then proceeded to go to sleep, while I went back to the wreck. The crew had got off all but two men. who couldn’t get to the masthead, because the ratlines and stays had given way. It would have been folly to launch the life boat in such a sea, so one of the bovs volunteered to go up to the mast, give a rope to the men on deck, pull them up to the life car. and bring them ashore, one at a time. We done this, and the people were taken to the station half-frozen and badlv frightened. When they had warmed themselves with brandy, coffee, and dry clothes, they were ready to tell their story. They had left Gloucester the mornin’ of the storm, and were bound to New York with a cargo of salt cod. Their boat was a schooner, the Alvin Russell, owned bv the cap’ll. Dick Crosby, with a crew of eight, who had all been saved. The lady was the daughter of the cap'll. •‘Everythin’ had gone well until, when far out in the bay. they had run into the storm. By night it was snowin’ so thick that they lost their bearin’s. and when they were blown ‘way to south’ard they knew they must be off Cape Cod somewhere, but the wind was so strong that they could not keep away from the shore. At last they could hear the awful roar and poundin' of the breakers on the io 7 beach and their ship grounded. It was then that they fired the distress signal. 'Phis had been an- swered by a Coston light on the beach, and after some waitin’ they had been rescued. It was then daylight, and a beautiful day. like what we al’as have after a storm, dawned. The wreck could be seen from the observation tower: for. as it was low tide, she was high and dry on the sand. The cap’n wanted to look her over, so they went off to see the useless hulk. I’rob’ly you fellers know that they take turns cookin' out to the station, and that week it was my turn to do the work. While I was Irvin' some pertaters Miss Crosby came out offerin’ to help. I accepted, as there was a heap o’ work to do. and she pitched right in. and made herself useful, doin' those little things that no one but a woman can and will do. Boys, that girl was a wonder. She wa'n't much for looks, but she could do anythin’ to make a man like me happy. She worked and talked and I soon found out that she had an aunt in Provincctown who I knew fairly well. Miriam, that was her first name, thought she would visit her, rince she couldn’t go to New York, and that was how 1 had an opportunity of callin’ on her. At length the crew returned, and we had break- fast. The cap'n thought that he and the crew would go back to Gloucester, but would leave his daughter with her aunt. I drove them over to town for the afternoon train, and later took Miriam to her aunt’s. I was never so embarrassed in my life as then, 'cause she asked me to call so many times, and I couldn’t say a thing but just blush and get confused. But after all I did call, and more than once, too.” He said this laughingly, but as he thought of years gone by he grew more serious and took on a confidential tone as he said: “Boys, you remem- ber the doughnuts my wife gave you this morn- ing:-” We nodded appreciatively. Well, that girl that helped me round the station back in 'S3. she made 'em. Zbc “TCecb Sbow” t Malden Performance at Auditorium Friday Even- ing, April 27.)

These students write and perform every year a play of college life, and the only professional assistance they require is a coach. It is a point in Tech’s favor that it can lay aside mathematics and physics for Junior Week and indulge in well-earned hilarity. Since the middle of February the men have been working hard, and he-whiskered and muscular chorus girls and soubrettes have been rehearsing their songs and dances at the Tech I’nion. This year’s production is being given under the direction of lames Francis, who directed The Fili- buster,” Silver Slipper.” When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” and other successful amateur shows.

JBrown, '00 HI' town °f Altura was plunged ’ into great excitement. Priscilla Hopkins, the daughter of the richest I man in the little Arizona village, • —lyV..'-- J had broken her engagement with Toni Hurst, a rough, but prosperous young miner. Hurst's attentions had heretofore been cordially received, but his recent brutal con- duct. and the fact that he had been seen intoxicated by her own father, opened Priscilla’s eyes to what Hurst really was—a drunken ruffian. Hot words had followed between Hurst and Priscilla’s father, and all connections had been suddenly severed. Some months before, a young prospector, named Stone— Jim Stone, as he was commonly known- had come to Altura from the East, hoping to strike it rich” in silver, but had met with no great success. Rut the young man’s soberness, deter- mination. and generous disposition won friends on every sicle. Priscilla Hopkins’ father had some- dealings with young Stone, and, in the course of time, he became almost as one of the family. A friendship sprang up between him and Priscilla, which ripened into love. When their engagement was announced a year after Hurst’s downfall, gos- sip ran freely through the little town. Priscilla’s choice being generally commended. Tom Hurst, however, could boast of a numerous body of friends, ruffians like himself, and on the day after the wedding he gathered his friends around him. and in a drunken rage vowed vengeance upon the happy couple now in their little cabin home high up the mountain slope. It was a cool, still. September night. The old mountain rising behind the sleeping town lay bathed in moonlight, and the deep silence was broken only by the sighing of the night wind, or the far-off bark of some uneasy wolf. Suddenly a low whistle sounded from the further side of the little mountain cabin high upon the slope. Several dark figures rose from the underbrush, and silently gathered under a large oak near the cabin door. One of the men, who seemed the leader, was earnestly, but in subdued tones, addressing his men. As they stood there the moonlight fell upon a gun-barrel here, and a knife-blade there, furnish- ing a rude, but striking contrast to the peaceful scene around them. As they talked, the light fell full upon the wicked countenance of Tom Hurst. The little band of marauders silently moved toward the cabin, bent upon accomplishing the foul design of their ruffian leader. A crash, a shout, a scuffle, followed by a feminine scream, and a short hand-to-hand fight, and all was over. The little home had been broken into and its occupants dragged out bv a party of desperate out- laws. and the same peaceful moonlight shone down upon the upturned face of Jim Stone now rigid in death, and upon the group of grim and silent men who had taken one life and forever ruined another. Stone’s young wife, however, had taken advantage of the short, desperate struggle, and effected her escape into the deep shadows beyond the cabin, where a successful search would have been impos- sible. The ruffian Hurst, and his men, their thirst for vengeance satisfied, returned down the mountain side to the village, each man to his home, to re- turn to the mines the next day, quietly, and as if nothing had happened. When the news of the tragedy should be known. Hurst and his followers would at once organize a posse to hunt down the murderer, thus throwing off all suspicion from themselves. When the conflict on the lonely mountain side was over, and the outlaws had withdrawn down the mountain to their homes. Priscilla, cowering in the shade of a great bowlder within a stone’s throw of the cabin, at last gained self-control enough to steal from her hiding place, and borne up by the hope that her husband’s life yet lingered, hurried to the scene of the crime. One glance, howcvci, at the cold. ti!l face drove all hope from the de- spairing woman. She performed the last duty for her dead husband, and. leaving a little rough piece of stone above the mound, she wandered in a half- crazed condition down the mountain side—she knew not where, anywhere, so long as it was away from Altura, and the scene of the horrible crime. Back in little Altura, the inhabitants were con- vulsed over the news of the tragedy. Bands of armed men were hastily formed, under the leader- ship of Tom Hurst, who was known to be an ex- pert at catching outlaws. It is needless to say that the criminal was never brought to bay by the de- termined men. who. mistaken as to the real culprit, followed their crafty leader for days and weeks over burning sands and through the tangled thickets of the mountains, until it was seen that the capture was impossible. But Hurst’s previous re- cord and his general guilty appearance, which he could not quite overcome, tended to increase the spark of suspicion which had been smouldering in the minds of the more thoughtful people of the town. Why. they asked themselves, should this disappointed lover, who hated Jim Stone while living, take such an active part in hunting down the man who had murdered his rival ? Suspicion and distrust grew, until Hurst, warned by one of his friends, fastened his bag of gold dust under his rawhide belt, and quietly left the little Arizona town. As the Mexican war was in its first stage, the ambition of fortune seekers was to join the army, and after driving the greasers” from the disputed territory, follow up their victory and sack the rich Mexican towns, retiring to live upon the spoil cap- tured from the enemy. Tt was natural that Hurst SOM E R VILLE R A DI ATOR 109 should be attracted by the glittering prospects of enlisting in the Union army, which lie did. After several months of desultory fighting. Hurst’s regi- ment was repulsed by a body of Mexican cavalry, and the sick and wounded left upon the field. All night Hurst lay groaning with his leg shot off, un- til at daybreak a detachment of Union troops came up and took the wounded to a hospital a few miles away. For weeks Hurst’s fate hung upon a thread, lie was given up by the doctors, but one nurse never lost hope. She passed through his ward twice a day. giving aid and comfort to all the sick men. but always spending more than the allotted time at the bedside of Hurst, who. his beard hav- ing been shaved close, little resembled the outlaw of Altura. Day by day a friendship sprang up be- tween the two. a friendship, however, which was soon to die. The man grew worse, and the gloomy mutterings showed that a fever had at last set in and was depriving him of his reason. One night, as his tender watcher sat bv him. Hurst broke forth into a wild stream of delirious language. A few disconnected words were caught by the atten- tive nurse, among which were: Jim Stone-------- gang set me on------Altura------Priscilla—— The nurse had heard enough. At last a vague suspicion darted through her mind. She sat as if paralyzed. The sick man turned on his pillow and liis eyes fell full upon her. A light of recognition suddenly passed over his features. The young nurse sprang to her feet and uttered a piercing scream. Tom Hurst! and fell to the floor in a dead faint. The dying man uttered his last word. Priscilla. and passed away. They carried the stricken woman to her room, but soon all hope of her recovery was gone. Her last words were these: On the mountain—put me beside him. They heard, but no one understood. Ibev Country Uelen XU. fl belps, ’OS T was the first day of April, 1??0. The peaceful meadows were just begin- ning to take on their emerald hue. and the air was fresh and exhilarating. The birds were singing joyfully, and were one to look at nature alone one would certainly say that no happier spot could be found than the town of Lexington. And yet all around was the scent of war. Men gathered at the village store and talked excitedly of bloody-backs” and lobster-coats. Unfortu- nate. indeed, was the man who stood up for the Tory side: for he was an outcast in the good old town, and very careful did he have to be lest he put on too red a neckerchief and thus tax the patience of the rebellious people, and receive a wetting in a nearby pond. Women held sewing- societies. minus their tea. in their parlors, and talked earnestly and almost eagerly of the crisis that must soon come. (fit the part near the Concord line, of what was then called the Great Road, but is now known as Massachusetts avenue, lived Amariah and Abigail Stone. For many years the husband and wife had lived on the old place in peace and contentment, and if ever there was a soul in Lexington who de- lighted in doing good, it was Abigail Stone. But of late some change had been wrought in her. The sweet purity of her countenance was there, the same as of old. but her face was white and thin, and her eyes had deep, black rings under them. Surely Abigail Stone must have something on her mind. said one of the good ladies one after- noon at Mrs. Joel Parker's home. Did one ever see such a change in a face!” It was a mystery to them all, and a constant worry to Deborah Parker, who had loved her long. ()n this first day of April the town was agog with excitement of news of the doings in Boston. In the Stone house, Mrs. Stone was sewing quietly in the kitchen when Deborah Parker rushed in upon her. saying: The reg'lars will be here soon. Abbv. W on’t we show ’em what sort of stuff we're made of? I wish I were a man so that I might fight. Getting no response, she continued : Abby. what is it ? Tell me. dear, do. Don’t look so distressed.” Mrs. Stone looked out of the window and burst into tears. Then she calmed herself and said tensely: Deborah Parker. I have known you too long to think von will betray what I tell you this afternoon, even though you cease to be my friend. Listen! My husband is—a—traitor—to—his— country. between closed teeth, “and at this mo- ment is in the British army. How am I to help my country, then?” Along the Charlestown shore, on the night of April IS, by the light of the rising moon, there paced two figures, those of a man and of a horse. The man’s eyes were fixed across the bay,— - And lo! as he looks on the belfry's height A glimmer, and then a gleam of light! I Ic springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns. But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight A second lamp in the belfry burns! o « The reg'lars are coming! All up! The reg'lars are coming! The good people of Lex- ington were startled at this sudden, but expected news, and quickly got out of their beds. Yes. the morning clear and bright, the stars not yet out of the heavens looked down on Lexington Green to see a brave little array of minutemen. On came the redcoats, going through Lexington, killing some seven of our men. and then proceeding on to Concord, stopping at each farm-house on the way. I IO SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Abigail Stone met them at the door, her head high in the air. 'J'herc was a Hush on her cheeks,— that of indignation, but that died as she saw ’way in the back of the regiment—her husband. What will you have, gentlemen?” she said, tossing her head. A very pretty set you are to come molest- ing a harmless and defenceless woman.” Nay, nay. my good woman.” said their leader. We come but to look for a rebel, Samuel Adams, but not to molest you.” You’ll not be likely to find Mr. Adams here. He’s miles away by this time,” said Mrs. Stone. The search began, and as fate had it, Amariah Stone was left to guard his own door ai� u own wile. Abigail. Abigail, oh. forgive me. I would not have come against my own town, had I not been ordered.” “Speak not of this as being your town, Amariah Stone, until you take back those traitorous words you spoke that night,” said Abigail sternly. The man turned his head away with a groan. Neither spoke for a moment. Then he looked back at his wife. How tall and stern she seemed to him now, and her face was sadder and paler than he could ever have imagined. Abigail, you would not have me go against my convictions, would you? Why should we stir up strife with the mother country?” You mean why should England stir up strife with her children. I suppose.” Oh. Abigail, say you forgive me. Say it. my wife, for I may never sec you again. Abigail Stone’s face grew paler, and her lips trembled, but for a moment only. Then she said Amariah Stone, you have chosen your si L, «nd I mine. Henceforth you are a regular, while I am a rebel, who for her country will work as hard as a woman can.” Then her tone softened as she saw his dejected and miserable looks. Remember, my husband, that should we never meet again on earth, in I leaven there is but one side.” The grenadiers came back muttering about their unsuccessful search, and cursing their luck. The leader, bowing to Mrs. Stone, said: Madam, we arc sorry to have occasioned you this trouble, the more because it seems unneedful. She answered him by saying: You are welcome to what you have found. It is nothing to me. now. But, gentlemen, you will do me a favor if you will march immediately from my home when you have quite finished your search.” The leader bit his lip. and reddening, bowed low once more, and quitted the house, followed by his men. Standing by her window Abigail Stone felt that she would never see again in this world the man whom she loved. In a little spot near Concord Bridge, to-day, are the graves of soldiers who, on the 19th of April, 1775, fell while fighting for their country.

That is the question—but let’s not talk any more about it, only—you’ll be careful, won’t you?” Yes,—I’ll be careful but—I must go now and drill and also let Count Etrovitch order me around, but never mind. I can think I am doing it for you, can’t I, Rhoda?” Yes—I suppose so—you’ll be careful now, won’t you. because—cr—well, the Count said he’d see you in Siberia before you should marry me.” What?” Those are the last words lie said, so take care because I—cr—you must hurry Alexis or you will be late to drill.

I’ll be on the watch for him.” Alexis was nearing the camp grounds when he was accosted by a man who asked him if he was Alexis Yinosky. Answering in the affirmative he was handed a note by the man. who then left him. Not having time to read the note he put it in his Docket and hurried on. After drill he went to his quarters. It was then v he thought of the note. Hastily opening it he read:— The meeting of the brothers will take place to- night at the same place instead of to-morrow night, as another stroke for liberty is to be planned, the time being at 8.” “I wonder what kind of joke this is.” muttered Alexis. Hm-ni—well, I fool them anyway, ’tis too cold to go out to-night and I’ve a book I must finish, anyway.” '♦ The next morning as Alexis was walking to drill he met a friend who greeted him with the words, Have you heard about it?” About what?” SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 111 “Why, about the assassination of the minister of the interior! Another case of the nihilists, 1 guess, by what they say. A paper was pinned to him which read: 'Another blow for liberty'—why, what's the matter, you are white as a sheet?” “Oh!—er—nothing, I feel a little out of sorts to- day. I—there comes Count Etrovitch with a squad of soldiers. 1 wonder what lie's after?'' “The soldiers are probably new and are being— but they're not new, there is Pete and------ Alexis Vinoskv, you arc under arrest.” This was thundered out by Count Etrovitch when he came opposite Alexis. “For what am I arrested. Count?” I know not.” The significant tone in which this was said brought clearly to Alexis's mind the note he had received the day before and he now knew why it had been given to him. Alexis was taken to a cell and the next day his trial was to take place. ‘ “Alexis Vinoskv, you are charged with being a nihilist and also of being in league with those who assassinated Baron Petrovitch. minister of the in- terior. What have you to say for yourself? “May I ask who brought this charge against me?” Why—er--------” “I will answer his question, your honor, I did.” Count Etrovitch made this statement in a bold manner. I also have, your honor, proof of what I say. I had my men search his room this morning and I found this note. Will your honor read it?” flic note was read and—well, there is no need to tell any more of the trial. Alexis was found guilty of being a nihilist on the evidence of the note, but could not be charged with the assassination. The Czar was prejudiced against all nihilists, in fact, whenever lie found one. off to Siberia went the nihilist. The judge of Alexis therefore sentenced him to the most dreaded of all places—Siberia. I le did. however, give Alexis the privilege of writing a last letter to Rhoda. If the judge could have seen that letter he might have withdrawn his con- sent. A short time after the letter was sent a heavily veiled woman could have been seen leading two horses silently out of a stable. Ten minutes after a man appeared. The woman spoke first. Is it you.

The day had been an ex- citing one for Romans, for news had been brought by a runner from the north, that the Gauls were invading Italy, sacking and burning towns. On all sides were heard hurried and excited conversations: for Rome wras in danger. Quintus Claudius, one of the heroic young sol- diers of Rome, lay on a magnificent Oriental couch, in the open court of his palatial home, thinking of the affairs of the time, lie had spent the morning at the Forum. Suddenly he was roused from his reverie bv the entrance of his sister Nadia, carrying in her hand a golden lyre. She was about a year younger than iter brother, and dressed simply but luxuriously, as the wealth of the family permitted. These two were the only children of their father. Quintus C laudius, who had been killed several years before in battle. They, with their mother and many slaves, lived in this palace. Nadia, at the request of her brother, was singing songs, accompanied by her lyre, when she was sud- denly interrupted by a knock at the door, and a ser- vant entered to announce to Claudius the arrival of a messenger. “Tell him I will be there presently, and show him into the atrium.” he answered. Then turning to his sister when the servant had with- drawn!, he said, “This may be important news, dear Nadia, but do not be alarmed. He then left the apartment. The messenger had been sent to announce to Ciaudius that a body of Gallic warriors, led by Brennus, their chief, had been seen in the distance, from the Capitoline hill: and that his presence was desired as soon as possible at the Forum. In- stantly donning his battle garments, and bidding his mother and sister farewell, he left tiie house. When he readied the Forum, all was confusion; for a band of Gauls had actually encamped near the city. When guards had been stationed at the gates, everything of value was made as safe as pos- sible. About daw'ii the next morning, the Gauls sought to gain an entrance to the city, by means of the gate, where Claudius was stationed as guard, to- gether with about a dozen others. They fought valiantly and succeeded, after a short conflict, in driving the enemy from the gate. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR I 12 For awhile the Gauls did not attempt another attack, but nevertheless they did not intend to give up. About two weeks later, one of the senators gave a banquet in honor of the marriage of his sen, to which were invited most of the persons of rank, and among these the family of Claudius. Suddenly, while the gaiety was at its height, the guests were alarmed by outcries, and before many were able to flee, they were surrounded bv («allio warriors. The terror was increased at the sight of the fantastic as well as barbarous dress of the war- riors, and at the savage sound of their shrill out- cries. The Roman soldiers were given the alarm, and a party of these was sent to the scene of the ban- quet which had come to so untimely an end. After a brief but fierce struggle the Gauls were again driven to their encampment, but not until they had taken many prisoners and much booty. During the fray. Claudius had received a slight wound upon the head; and when he regained con- sciousness. his first thought was of his mother and sister, who had been taken captives, and also of h'ulvia. the daughter of the senator, whose banquet they iiad been attending. 1 le had been with her the whole evening, and just before the Gauls made their appearance, she had promised him her hand It was not yet daylight, when Claudius made his way for the Gallic camp. His brain was in a whirl, the wound on his head aching, and he was thinking of all the possible fates that might have befallen those dearest of all on earth to him. At last he reached the tents of the enemy, and crawled around on his hands and knees among them Finally he came to one in which he thought lit heard his sister's voice murmuring in a low. quivering voice a prayer to the gods for safe de- liverance. Nadia. he called, are you there? The very sound of his own voice startled him. as did all other sounds. The voice ceased from within, and he called again, but not as loud as before. Then he heard, It is I, Claudius, but be quiet, for our cap- tors are in the next tent. There was a sentinel here, but he has gone. Are vou alone? he asked. No. Claudius, our mother and Fulvia arc with me. Claudius, whose mind had been released from some anxiety, told his sister to acquaint the others of his presence; then to come to the opening of the lent as quietly as possible. They did so, and as no sounds were heard from the other tents, he re- quested them to follow him. They had gene about three-quarters of the dis- tance towards the city, and the first streaks of dawn were seen in the heavens, when on looking back. Claudius perceived that they were being fol- lowed by six warriors on horseback. One of these was seen to be the son of Brennus, who. Nadia told him, had taken her prisoner, and had given her un- til morning to decide whether she would become his wife or his slave. At this her brother was very angry, and vowed that if it came into his power, lie would put an end to the life of that Gaul. Claudius was now joined by several of his com- rades. and when the Gauls had overtaken them, they were able to put up a brave defence. Claudius’ most fierce opponent was the son of Brennus, whom he succeeded in putting to death. I’he death of their leader so demoralized the com - pany of savages that they soon beat a hasty retreat. Claudius and his band then reached the city in: safety, and it was found that but few citizens had been severely wounded. Claudius, having proved himself a brave and noble soldier, was promoted to a higher position in the army, and not long after, he and Fulvia were married. Rome was not attacked again until some time later, and Nadia was not again caught by the wiles of treacherous Gauls. H psalm of Strife .1l3 } 714. P. X.. X.. ’OS 'fell me not in mournful numbers.

All our rivals in the league have exceptionally good teams, and they are all showing fine form. But we can beat them, fellow-students, and beat them we will, if we all take a hand in it. Yow’therc are very few more tired of trying to drum up enthusiasm than we are. yet it must be done. The lack of school spirit is deplorable. If a mass-meeting is called, home you trot, thinking yourselves above attending such a thing, or saying that you haven’t time. Look at our rivals. Last year when Dorchester called for enthusiasm, they received it. and you all know how their team, backed by it. won the championship, incidentally defeating Som- erville for the first time in years. After they had won the pennant, the Dorchester citizens couldn’t do enough for their team. It was dined, given theatre-parties, and shown in every manner how much it was appreciated. It was the same way with the Malden football team that defeated Med- ford last fall: it is always this way in Waltham, and we have defeated all these teams and. except for some momentary joy. it is well-nigh forgotten in a week's time. Pupils and supporters of the high schools, let this be the last call to be issued! Xow it’s tip to you. W e have a team that will do all a team can do, but they need your help and support, so if we lose the championship this year just blame yourselves, and no one else. ---------------------------- XTrack iDcet On April 9. a mass meeting was held in the Eng- lish High School hall, and the plans and arrange- ments for an Interclass athletic meet, to be held on the afternoon of Saturday, May 5, at Broadway field, was brought forward. The meeting was ad- dressed by Charlie Cuddy, who is running the meet from the athletic point of view, Mr. Jones, who has stated that the association will back the project financially, and W. Elliott, who is to man- age the meet. By the time this paper has come out. it will be too late to point out the necessity of having a large number of participants in the meet to make it a success, but not too late to appeal to the pride of one and all that those who do not enter the events will all go as spectators. This is the first thing of its kind to be tried in ten years. The last one was a complete failure; what are you going to let this one be? If the meet proves to be a success, it will be continued from year to year until the League adopts track ath- letics. which it is bound to do. There are to lie ten events, which arc as follows: 100-yard dash; 220-yard run: 440-yard run: 880- yard run: 1-mile run: 120-yard medium hurdles; running high jump; running broad jump: pole vault; putting 12-pound shot. Besides these there will be relay races between tlie corresponding classes in the two schools. The management have secured the prizes, which are cups for first, second, and third places, and steins for the winning relay teams. The cups arc excep- tionally good, and well worth trving for. More- over. if the affair is a success, the names of the winners will be kept in the records of the schools and will be posted. Xow to make it a successful meet! It is a handicap event, so there is a chance for everyone. There will be as officials a number of the most prominent of the city’s public servants, and the in- terest will be as widespread as it is possible to make it. To those who do not enter to run or par- ticipate otherwise, an admission fee of twentv-five cents will be charged. Pupils and fellow-students, let 11s one and all make this a grand success! Gamma Eta ikappa Monday evening. March 19, the members of Delta Zeta Chapter met at the home of Brothers Herbert and William Henderson. The meeting was a very enjoyable one. notwithstanding the in- clement weather outside, which made the interior all the more acceptable. The early evening was taken up with the customary business meeting. The collation was then tendered, and. needless to say, the members partook heartily of an excellent repast. The rest of the evening was spent most enjoyablv. and after a song or two the members disbanded. At the time of this writing the colleges are hav- ing their spring vacations, and it is with the great- est pleasure we welcome the old “Geks back to Somerville. Delta Zeta is represented in Dart- mouth. Maine, and Bowdoin this year, and without a doubt will increase the number of colleges in which it is represented greatly in the coming year.

The sympathy of the entire class went out to Mr. Poor when lie met with the mishap that burned his hand. The hand is improving, and we all sin- cerely hope that its healing will continue as rapidly as possible. Physicians claim that the spring is the most dangerous time to catch a bad disease. I think the spring is a very dangerous time to catch a “D.” Moral: Beware, Seniors. In a few more weeks we will all be looking for a job.

Boyle Bros., No Money Down.” As spring approaches, our thoughts naturally turn to baseball. Let the class of 1907 set a good example and get a team to practicing good and early so that Mr. Whitcomb may witness at least one interclass game. It has long been his wish that the various classes should have these meets, and that, certainly, has been the wish of the classes. All we lack is stick-to-it-iveness. The class of 1907 extends its heartfelt condo- lences to Miss Cora Sargent in her recent bereave- ment. The song of woe Is after all an earthly song.” Let every one who is taking part in the ()ratorio do his best so that Mr. Hadley’s and Mr. Whitcomb's ambitions for the school may at least in a measure be gratified. Try and make it so that you can be proud to say that you took an active part in it. Consult William H. Marshall on all matters per- taining to love and matrimony. He has had a large and varied experience, and will surely be able to help you out. Class ambitions ( continued ): — Blunt—to be sharp. Henderson—to spring a good joke on “Doc.” Day—to be a knight (night). All 1907—to see who can pass in the most Radiator notes (I don't think). We take great pleasure in announcing that the Junior dance was a great success, socially. We were astonished to see Whitney come to school the other day without his hair being curled.

Certainly ’08 is well represented at the diamond practice this year. Perhaps not all will make the team, but our hopes are not all to rest on this year. Try again until you arc sure of it. 09 Eugene L. Brine, Class Editor. Spring is here at last, and now the Freshmen will not be the only verdant objects of interest. Never mind, classmates, two more months, and then we will discard our suits of Lincoln green and become dignified. But even then shall we copy the example of ’08? No, dear friends, we will do bet- ter and make an example of ourselves that will be a credit to 1000. A motto is about to be hung in each Freshman room bearing the words.

H. V. A very entertaining meeting of the G. A. Y. was field on the evening of March 2$ at Miss Bartlett’s residence. The most important event of the even- ing was the initiation of Miss Bessie Cobb into the mystifying secrets of the sorority’s ritual. Miss Cobb is a member of the class of 1908 of the Eng- lish School. After being tempted by an appetizing assortment of toothsome delicacies, the club dis- banded at a ghostly hour. The last assembly was held at the dwelling of Miss Stockwell. Habitual business affairs occu- pied all minds during the greater part of the even- ing. and all. therefore, were deeply gratified to be refreshed by the choice dainties which the hostess set before them. The meeting disbanded on the night of April 11. Excbanoe notes The cuts in the Lawrence High School Bulletin are exceptionally good. We were sorry to find that page of advertisements in the midst of the reading matter. Bulletin. We think it would improve the Lynn Classical Gazette to separate the “ads from the reading matter.

Harrisburg, Pa., is one of the best of our exchanges. Perhaps a little too much space is given to Observations.” The Mission, San Francisco, continues as one of the leaders of our exchange list.

The affair took place in Hollis Hall, and despite the driving rain a goodly crowd set out to defy the elements. Robert Nichols presided, and introduced as the first speaker Head Master George L. Baxter, who was given hearty applause. The next speaker was Edwin Fitzgerald, who showed the advantages to be obtained at Harvard in a well received speech. Sub-Masters Charles T. Murray and George M Hosmer each delivered an oration and received unanimous applause. The last speaker of the even- ing was William Jennings. Latin, '03, Dartmouth, '07. who seconded Mr. Murray in supporting Dart- mouth. It was then announced that the social committee was ready to display its wares, and the meeting adjourned Then all present proceeded to allow as much tonic, cheese, and crackers find their way into the department of the interior as possible. At a late hour the crowd dispersed, after exchanging cheers with their hosts. Besides the speakers of the occasion, those in- vited were John M. Groves, post-graduate: Sar- gent, Rice. Wedgwood.

Miss Crosby afterwards made a brief address, and repeated her first poem, written when the writer had reached her eighth birthday. The poem contains an allusion to her blindness, and much sound philosophy valuable to many whose sight is still preserved. S. 'll. Several weeks ago a club, under the name of the S.

Each year upon the thirtieth of May the vener- able survivors of the Grand Army of the Republic assemble in every city and town to honor the memory of the brave men yho died in defence of this nation's cause. Each year the ranks of the grav-haired veterans in blue grow perceptibly thin- ner. Each year adds to the number of those sacred graves to be decorated with garlands. Each year more and more of the old soldiers answer their last roll-call, until soon the Grand Armv of the Re- public will be but a revered and cherished memory. The G. A. R. may cease to exist, but the glorious deeds that have immortalized this honored body will never perish, but will emblazon the pages of history until this nation ceases to be a nation, and until the star-spangled banner shall no longer be respected from pole to pole. ------------------------------ XT be San jfrancfsco Earthquake Never before in the history of the United States has one of her cities suffered such complete de- struction as the city of San Francisco.

It is difficult for us to realize that in but a few days the most magnificent metropolis on the Pacific coast was almost erased from the earth’s surface, since many of the build- ings that withstood the earthquake fell prey to the remorseless flames that followed close in its wake. Upon hearing the appalling news, many of the European monarchs sent their sympathies to Presi- dent Roosevelt, and inquired if they could lend aid. 'I’he head of this nation thanked them for their sym- pathy. but declined their offer of aid, saying that the United States would care for the stricken city. As if to verify their President’s statement, nearly every city and town in the union immediately sent aid. either in food or money, to the thousands of destitute and homeless victims. A fact that lends added interest to the pupils of the Latin School is that Mrs. Parker Maddux was living at California street. San Francisco, at the time when the calamity occurred. Mrs. Mad- dux was formerly Miss Edith M. Walker, and two vears prior to her marriage, which took place Sep- tember 1U 1905, at Sacramento. Cal., she taught history and algebra in the Latin High School, where she won the esteem of all who knew her. SO M E R VIL LE K A DIA TO R 125 Though her house was not damaged by the earthquake or by fire, with her husband, she sought safety at a ranch in Fulton, which is sixty miles from San Francisco. Her husband's law office in the heart of the city was destroyed by the flames, together with his fine collection of law books. They were able to save their household valuables, and expect to return to their home if water, food, and house are reported in good condition. MRS. PARKER MADDUX (nee Miss Edilh Walker) Through the kindness of Mrs. Maddux's mother, Mrs. Granville A. Walker, we are permitted to print an extract from a postal card received from our for- mer teacher after the danger had passed:— We arc all well: I stood it marvelously—no evil effects at all, except mental anguish at the suffering I saw. . . . Feel awfully poor, but so thankful. It was a terrible calamity, and no one can describe that fiendish earthquake. But the fire did the great damage.” We all are grateful that Mrs. Maddux and her husband are safe and that they are as fortunate as reports show. We sincerely hope that when order is once more restored they may reinstate them- selves in the home they left. -------------------------- XT be baseball Outlook The wearers of the red and blue have started out well upon the diamond. We hope their good work will continue. We join our versatile sporting editor in saying that the team must not repeat the performance of last year. Somerville has long been a pennant winner in all branches of athletics, and her supporters do not wish to see her reputation lowered. Leo Hafford, formerly of the Latin School, who made for himself such an enviable record while in the box for the High School nine, is now making a still greater name for himself twirling for the Rochester team of the Eastern League. His presence is greatly missed, and though the team has a large pitching staff, there is no one who can fill his place. With no individual player to rely upon, championship hopes rest entirely upon team work. Above everything else, the boys need support. It is an easy matter to boast of a winning team; it is entirely different to remain loyal to a team under adverse conditions. Last year's events proved this. True sportsmanship is not the ability to back a win- ning team, true sportsmanship is to be true and steadfast to your team, because it is your team, no matter what conditions prevail. ---------♦♦—-------------- XT be Oratorio On Thursday evening, April 26, the pupils of the English School added another musical triumph to their long list. Somerville may well be proud of the creditable way in which the students rendered Josef Haydn's oratorio. “The Seasons. assisted by Miss Mary C. Ogilvie. soprano. George Deane, tenor. Willard Flint, bass, and a full orchestra, con- ducted bv S. Henry Hadley. The oratorio was given at Symphony Hall, Bos- ton. Previous to this the English School has given two cantatas and one oratorio, and all four under- takings were much indebted to the able supervision of S. Henry Hadley, who is musical instructor in the Somerville public schools. The first cantata was given in the First Methodist Church, Somerville, on the evenings of May 20 and 21, 189(5. The Holy City. by Gaul, being ren- dered. The second cantata was Gaul's Joan of Arc. and was given in Boston Music Hall on the night of April 25. 1899. The last oratorio. Haydn's Creation, was given in Symphony Hall April 29. 1903. Instead of devoting the proceeds of this oratorio to the purchase of pictures, statuary, and other works of art for the embellishment of the school building, as has been customary, it was unani- mously decided to contribute at least one-half the proceeds towards aiding those who have been ren- dered homeless by the havoc wrought by the ter- rible earthquake. Owing to the success of the undertaking, the contribution will be exceptionally large. 126 SO M E R VIL L E R ADI A TO R Brt School %iic B ? iRogal B. jfarmun, B., '02 ELL do I remember one warm, spring: day in the year of 1902, when, just before recess, the students assembled in front of the English I ligh School to witness the Ivy exercises of the graduating class. It was the begin- ning of the end. 1 was sad at the thought of leav- ing the dear old school and separating from my classmates. Two or three were happy at the pros- pect of coming back for a 1 (I., but I had decided to study art. and so must bid farewell for all time. The exercises were soon over, but a change had swept over the class, for they had begun to realize that an unknown future was before them and soon thev would be thrown upon their own resources. at the Art School: and the third is the author of this article. Thanks to the thorough training I had received from my former teachers. 1 felt quite sure of being able to enter the school. Charcoal light and shade drawings from antique ornament, anatomical casts, and still-life groups comprised the examination, with a day for each subject. Those I successfully passed, and then my art life began in earnest. I’cfore entering the school 1 had no definite idea of what kind of life I was about to follow. 1 had a pre conceived notion that some day 1 might pos- sibly go out and paint a landscape, but how the thing was to be done, and where the courage to brave the critical gaze of the public was to come MASSACHUSETTS NORMAL ART SCHOOL lor me tilings began to assume a serious aspect I had determined to study in a higher school and to work my way through. The State Normal Art School, the best and most complete of its kind in the world, was my choice. Exams” began to be my chief worry, but as I had taken as much draw- ing as was possible in the High School. I felt that 1 ought to be able to pass. Again. I recall a memorable day in the fall of that same vear. when three lads from this school ner- vously entered the portals of the Art School and took their first examination. Though dignified (?) Seniors from one of the best high schools in the state, they must again become poor little Krcshmen. and I am safe in saying that they acted the part without am seeming difficulty. To-day one of those fellows teaches manual training and mechani- cal drawing in Malden: another is assistant curator from. I had not the least idea. Reforc 1 had studied many days, however, I found that much had to be learned before one could paint a picture. Laws of geometry and perspective must be learned, com- parative and artistic anatomy had to be mastered, and composition and design must be studied before one thought of a picture. Draw, draw, draw, five hours a day for four years, with afternoon lectures, was what 1 had before me. Rut the life was new, and it was what I enjoyed above everything else. The first year was a very thorough elementary course in pencil drawing and charcoal, with six weeks of water-color and a day a week of design t van the monotony. How well I remember those six or eight big soap boxes which were thrown down in a heap in the middle of the large studio, and how the instructor came around to repeatedly find fault with the proportion and perspective of our SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 127 drawings, with never an encouraging word about them. Then we had to make time sketches, fol- lowed by desks and chairs heaped up in similar posi- tions. That was studying Art. Bliss Carmen says: Art is expression ' but if our feelings could have been expressed, very little art would have appeared in them. Later we took up charcoal drawing, and then came our certificate sheets to pass us on to the next class. As I look back upon that first year. 1 realize that that training was worth more than all the others combined. I learned to keep at a thing until it was correct and I learned to (Irate. I found that the harsh criticisms made me work the harder for one little word of commendation, which, when received, meant a great deal. The first year, or Class A. suc- cessfully passed. 1 felt that 1 was one step nearer the goal. The second year was filled with a number of courses taking up elementary work in mechanical drawing and sculpture, followed by the most im- portant course in the school, painting and drawing from life. Up to this time I had been under an in- structor continually, but now I found that the pro- fessor of painting only came twice a week What were we to do while lie was away? That question was soon answered. All work was to be done dur- ing his absence, and on his day in the studio the drawings were lined up on dress parade for criti- cism. There was no way of telling, at first, to whom each belonged, but later lie was able to teli from the character and technique of the drawing who did it. and to prescribe the medicine for that particular person. In either case no feelings were spared. Our first study in painting was a group com- posed of an old brass kettle, with five or six red peppers in front and tumbling out of it. Ah! those red peppers. If you think you know what red is like, try to paint red peppers when you never have worked in oil colors in your life. There were ten or twelve students working from the same group, and when I say that no two were the same color, you will have a very faint idea of what the professor saw when we lined them up for inspection. The criticism for that day was: “Scrape those canvases and painty' It is enough to say that we survived the peppers, and before we were through with color we had one or two canvases worthy of ex- hibition. Color was taken up only in the fall and spring, and during the winter months we drew from the living model. I shall never forget what an occa- sion for rejoicing it was when I was allowed to enter the Men’s Life Class. My first model was a young girl costumed in a white gown falling from the shoulders to the feet, a heavy cord encircling the waist. I had been accustomed to draw from immovable plaster casts, but now I had a much more difficult undertaking. I must, with a stick of dirty charcoal and a kneaded rubber, represent the different textures of the living form. 1 must show the difference in the texture of cloth. I must show the difference between the color of the face and hands, and, above all, I must get character and ex- pression. At first I was given a week on each model: later I was to make a finished j ortrait in a day. Costume studies were varied with the mule figure, much harder to draw and more subtle. In the nude the action of the figure is much more pro- nounced, and there is no clothing to cover any mis- takes in proportion. One must see and -Iran■ cor- rectly, or the study is anatomically wrong. During this time we were also having compo- sition. A passage of Scripture, a poem, or a news- paper article was read, or perhaps an event was cited, and we were to compose a picture to illustrate it. Comp day was the dreaded day of the week, for then our imaginations were taxed to their ut- most, only, perhaps, to be laughed at when criti- cised. I remember one day in particular, when we had the story of the Good Samaritan for composition. Now 1 knew that the Samaritan had a mule, an i I knew how a mule looked, but to paint one I couldn’t. The more 1 thought about it. the more I wanted that mule in the composition, so I said: I'll make the Good Samaritan walking along on the nearest side of him, supporting the wounded man on his back, and that will hide all but Ins head and hind quarters. Well. I made a beautiful donkey's head, with nice long ears, and his hind legs looked so natural that they would kick at the least provo- cation. Comp day came, and with wildly-beating heart I stood my masterpiece up with the rest. The instructor came in. and with a nod and smile began to glance over the comps. Soon the smile broadened, and picking mine out. he set it up and stood away from it. By this time I had received many admiring glances from my less fortunate classmates, and was ready for more, when 1 sud- denly heard: Well, pretty good color, but why not have a mule in the picture? And really. 1 never saw a man with legs like those before.” Were you ever placed in a position where you felt like squirm- ing through the smallest crack in the floor? He had utterly failed to notice the mule’s head, and the hind legs he had mistaken for a man's. As soon as the students ceased roaring with laughter, which broke out quite frequently afterwards, ami my face assumed a more natural color. I tried to explain. Well, said the professor, try again, and put the mule where you can find him. Vet I found much enjoyment in it all. and never once regretted having entered the school. Rut four years in an art school by no means make an artist. It only drills him in the use of different mediums and helps him along the direction which he wishes to follow. Success eventually comes to him only after hard, persistent, and earnest work. 128 SOM ERVI LLK R A 1)1 ATOR B Meek lit IMew Brunswick .ii$ : 3obn ID. Groves, X., '05 FTER leaving Eastport, the most east- ern town of the United States, we made no stop until we arrived at St. John. From Eastport the coast was very beautiful, on account of the in- numerable little caves along the shore, made bv the tides of the Ba of Fundy. The dark green woods extended almost to the water s edge, while on the sea side the long island of Grand Manan was seen for many miles. At six o’clock by St. John time, but at only five according to our Boston watches, we arrived in St. John. The rise of tide here is twenty-six feet; but it was so low when we arrived that the gangway had fo be placed from the wharf over the railing of the hurricane deck. Mow strange it did seem for once in my iife to be out of my own country! There was the Union Jack flying forth with un- questioned authority, and over everything there was an atmosphere which did not seem American. The English custom of turning to the left especially interested me. teams, processions, street cars, and even trains all keeping to the left. As the next day was Sunday. 1 attended high mass at the Cathedral. 'I his is a small building, but unusuallv beautiful with its stained-glass win- dows. light colored walls, and remarkable sanc- tuary. 'I he curious six-foot candles on the altar remind one of the cathedrals of France. In the evening we went to Trinity church, and saw the coat of arms which formerly adorned the State House in Boston, but which was taken off by the Tories in 1788. During our stay in St. John we made a visit to Carleton. West St. John, where the old Martello tower, built in 1712. is still to be seen, and also the place where Fort La Tour was. Surfside Bark is also near the tower, and not far from this park is an excellent bathing beach. St. lolm is noted for its fog. similar to that of London. This fog may come and disappear within twenty minutes, or it may hang over the city for weeks. Yet if one takes a train inland for about ten miles the sun will be shining brightly. The only bright day. while we were there, we took the eighty-five-mile boat ride up the St. John river � o Fredericton, the capital of the province. The scenery was superb. Mountains might be seen occasionally in the distance; islands, large and small, were ever in sight: the farming country was most attractive, and the tributaries of the St. John interesting. After an eight-hour sail we arrived at Frederic- ton. where we visited the Anglican Cathedral, and entered the building of Parliament, even going into the room where sessions are held. From there we visited the University of .Yew Brunswick, and here we obtained a fine view of the city, which abounds in beautiful trees. But more wonderful than all other things seen were the remarkable reversible rapids of the St. John river. They are said to have been formed by volcanic eruption, and their bottom cannot be found. At high tide the bridge over them is seventy feet above the level. I first saw them at low tide flowing out. But the next time I spent three hours in the summer house watching them from half to high tide. t half tide small boats go up and down. At high tide the rapids reverse with even greater force than when flowing down. Hardly less wonderful is the famous “tidal bore” or tidal wave at Moncton, ninety miles from St. John. This wave brings the tide up the Petitcodiac river from the Bay of Fundy. It is formed by rush- ing through a very narrow gut. nine miles below Moncton, and it is duplicated only in one other river on the globe, which is in China. It is at times five feet high : but I did not sec it at the most favor- able time. It rushed in with a tremendous roar, and I watched the steady rise of tide for an hour and a half. 1 observed that the tide rose a foot in less than ten minutes, and a scow which was deep in mud high up on the bank before the wave ar- rived. floated before I left. Though I did not see this wave at its highest an unusual thing happened. This was the arrival of a second bore, called the “after bore.” which seldom, though occasionally, occurs. These are a few of the features that interested me during a memorable week in Yew Brunswick, where there was an opportunity to observe new customs, new people, and new natural phenomena. IResolutions Whereas, by the will of God. a member of a former Radiator staff. Philip S. Ilighley, has been taken from this life, be it Resolved, that we, the Radiator staff of lJior� -()(� . have learned with great sorrow of his death, and be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his parents and published in the Radiator.

From the confines of the red brick structure burst forth the many types of humanity employed in tiie textile in- dustry. Lively and chattering, they swarmed down the street, a lunch basket in one hand, gesticulating excitedly with the other. They ceased their babble as they passed a voting lady in faultless attire, as she stood caressing a horse. It was evident she was known to them from the murmurings after they had passed, the side glances of awe and interest. Also the little boy who ran from tin store in front of which the vehicle had stopped, a large, red apple in each hand. See. Ethel, what 1 have got! he cried. ‘Well loves apples, and ours aren't nearly as good. The young lady smiled indulgently as she watched her brother feed his pet. On the opposite side of the street a child had stopped, and, leaning against the fence, watched the scene. Iler pale, sallow check was tinged with red from suppressed emotion. Her eyes gleamed with hatred and jealousy. “They feed a horse with nice red apple. My Mamie she have no red apple. Bah ! They no pav us good. Cp the street steamed a large, red touring car. The girl had not picked up the reins when it dashed by. The horse plunged forward, the reins dropped to the ground,—a little girl grasped the bridle. It was the mill-hand: her check was all that was needed to calm the gentle Nell. The occupants of the touring car stopped and re- tut tied to the scene of possible disaster. The pom- pous middle-aged man tendered his regrets to the young lady. 1 am not hurt in the least, she declared, thanks to the child before you. Nell would not have been startled if I had held the reins, but 1 was just reach- ing for them when your car shot by. When she finished the gentleman glared at the stunted, misshapen figure before him. then reached magnanimously in his fur-lined coat and drew forth a silver coin, which he tossed to her. Her cheeks flamed as she stepped one side to allow the money to fall to the ground. The second occupant gal- lantly came to the rescue, picked up the money, and closed the rough hand over it. Not to be outdone by the strangers, if for no other reason. Ethel Murray leaned forward and asked the child's name and address, promising future attention. “Ethel, we are in a hurry.” reminded her brother petulantly: I'm hungry. All this fuss over a kid from the mills.” Alone, the bewildered child gazed at the coin in her hand. Twenty-five cents! Picking up her basket, she continued her walk to the cheap tene- ment house she called home. The talk of the men about her had an added in- terest that night. The impending strike would mean so much, for there was little Mamie. But the quarter! This could be added to her little store. And she had come so near not taking it. But she remembered her mother wasn't like the squalid women about her. If it wasn't.—but the loyal heart would not give a thought to the home that was offered if she would consent to part with her sister. In his mail the following morning. Mr. John A. Murray, mill owner and operator, found the follow- ing note:— Dear father: Don't forget the incident I spoke about last night. Treat her kindly for me. “Lovingly, Ethel. The busy man despatched a boy to find her, then continued his work. Behind the office boy she si- dled into the spacious room, and obeying the big man’s nod. lost herself in a big leather arm-chair near him. The clock ticked, ticked many minutes away before he looked up from his mail. Mi! he said, what can I do for you? You send for me. sir. she said. So I did. I believe you rendered Miss Murray and her brother a service yesterday. I thank you. and now I would like to return the favor. Can you suggest, ah,—anything.------” A lump rose in the throat of the child as she stood before her employer trembling. More wage.” she burst out finally. How much are you paid now? he asked not unkindly. The child mentioned the sum. We will have that doubled. lie said conclusively. But she moved not a step. Not for me alone, for us all.” she ventured. Mr. Murray's eyes opened wide with astonish- ment, then he became angry. Insolence! Co back to your work.” The brave child fled, the mill owner resumed his former occupation. But something in the pleading eyes, the trembling figure held his attention. True, she was gone from sight, but her presence haunted him. His mind returned to the days when his first wife lived. He thought of little Ethel, of that day she came to him and said. Papa. I is so sick, and mamma is so sick : her face was so white, her eyes so large. Yes, this child was like little Ethel. He fumbled nervously with the papers on his desk, evi- dently annoyed with himself when he came across the note again. Ethel Murray. Not his little Ethel in the days of the modest cottage and the weekly salarv. The woman he had married in his pros- perity would send trained nurses to care for his chi! dren. Ethel's gentle mother had passed away, and the girl had grown haughty and self-conscious. i30 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR The loving, affectionate intercourse between father and daughter had ceased. Treat her kindly. the note read, but he felt the spirit in which it was written. Ilut.—her mother’s name was Ethel. Jack.” he said sharply, find that girl again and bring her here. Meekly submissive, the little unfortunate came again to the spacious apartment of her employer. Mow to win her trust and confidence after his former outburst became a problem. It brought to the surface the finer nature of the busy, progressive man of the world. Now. my little lady. he began, placing a chair for her, take a seat while we talk this over. You say you want an increase in wages. What do you know about such things? The child reformer was stupefied with astonish- ment. She had come to the office expecting, dread- ing she knew not what. Though young, she was cautious, and answered in monosyllables where she could. Hut the man of millions warmed to his task, lie gradually drew forth the story of Mamie, of want and suffering in the district his mill made a pretence of supporting. The child grew more and more communicative. She felt that a keen interest in herself and Iter people was shown by the ques- tions and manner of the man to whom she was talking. Her phrasing of English words at times puzzled her listener, but a question now and then made all clear to him. Then she realized and stopped short. No wonder he was interested and bade her continue. Oh, mister. I can't. I tol’ you, sir. They will whip me, sir. The poor child was distressed. Voting as she was, she felt that in betraying the confidence of the men about her to this man before her she had probably mined their chances. The gentleman took both her stubby little hands in his. No. my child, you need not fear: go back to your work to avoid suspicion, and tell no one what you have done. I will raise the wages of my own free will. Just a minute.” From his safe he took a ring. Take this, he said, it was for my daughter’s birthday.” When she was gone, he turned to lock the safe. He fumbled a pile of papers within, with a smile of satisfaction. They were contracts for the coming months. Luck again,” he muttered. A strike now would mean thousands of dollars. Poor devils, they need more money, and the girl—I'll settle with her later.” H Confession Gbarles Hbams pern?� £•� ’04 NE day last summer, while rummaging around in the attic of my old home, .1 happened to run across an old hair- cloth-covered box. The day being very rainy. 1 had the curiosity to pry open the lock, as no key was in sight, and look at its contents. I found for the greater part old letters, which did not interest me greatly, also many notes ami sketches of a scientific nature. Towards the bottom of the box I found a large envelope, which bore in an irregular scrawl this inscription, A confession made by Johann Dubois, to be opened at my death. With much excitement I opened the envelope, and. starting in. devoured its contents, which were substantially this:— !. Johann Dubois, as the hour of death draws nigh to n ' and wishing to make my peace with the Almighty, do solemnly make this confession :— In the vear IS I?, when ! was not quite fifty years of age. it became my fortune to reside in the small town of Tenants Harbor. In the month of June of tlr t year appeared in the Rockland Courier the follow ng item:— ■ ’Mysterious Disappearance.' ‘A great shock was received in the quiet atmo- sphere of Tenants Harbor by the mysterious disap- pearance of a certain John Far well, son of Joseph Farwell. a .veil-known mariner of that vicinity. ’As usual, on Friday last, John left the family circle to retire for the night. The next morning, John not putting in appearance, his father went to his room to awaken him. ’His father, upon opening the door, found his clothes carefully arranged on a chair, his pajamas missing, and his bed unopened. A search was begun, and his whereabouts was a mystery until late that night his father received a message saving a young man had been found in night attire in Cam- den. about twenty miles northeast of Tenants Harbor. “’Mr. Farwell at once went to Camden and viewed the remains, which proved to be those of his son. A hasty examination of the body showed not the slightest injury other than a few discolora- tions on the left side on which the body was found lying. Detectives were sent for and are still work- ing on the case, with little progress, 'flic com- munity mourns the loss of its esteemed young man: it being especially sad, as he was engaged to be married to Josephine Coombs, a belle of that vi- cinity.’ The above you find in the files of the paper, if you look intelligently. Now comes the hardest part of this my last statement. God forgive me as f open my heart and soul in repentance in the fol- lowing lines. It happened at the time I was a boarder at the home of the Farwclls, and on more than one occa- SOMERVILLE RADIATOR !3r sion I spent the day in company with the family and friends. “John and I. whose rooms were adjoining, be- came great friends. On the night of June thir- teenth (my soul shudders at the remembrance), as John came upstairs to his room. I got ready for my dastardly act. When I thought he had seated him- self for his usual smoke. I called him. He, little thinking the fate that was before him. entered. I grappled with him and thrust a handkerchief satu- rated with chloroform to his nostrils. I then took his limp form. and. administering still more of the anesthetic waited until the old folks had retired. It was then that I carried his bo lv to my shop, where many of my experiments were conducted. This shop was a few ods from the house, and lo- cated in a clump of trees, I having chosen this loca- tion to prevent curious eyes from witnessing my work. Mere I had a previously prepared balloon twenty feet in diameter, to which was attached a fuse several feet in length. I reckoned on this fuse burning between fifteen and twenty minutes, and as the breeze was not traveling fast that night, it did not quite accomplish what 1 intended. “1 suspended John bv the loop passing under his arms, and attached it by the further end of the fuse. I then lit the bundle of waste, which was thor- oughly saturated with alcohol. The air soon be- came hot, and the balloon flew away with its bur- den. The fuse burned out just as 1 planned it. as the alcohol was nearly all consumed, the balloon nearing the ground as the air cooled in it. and John was dropped quietly to the ground. The balloon, freed of its weight, dashed upward, the sparks from the dying embers of waste were fanned to a fierce flame, which set the balloon afire, destroying every evidence of the deed. The rest you have heard. The night before I saw Josephine, and as I had contemplated suit to her hand for some time I proposed. I was cruelly rejected, she saying she was already bound to another, and that other was John. In an enraged frame of mind, I made a vow that the marriage should never be. The balloon and chloroform, which was admin- istered strong enough to cause death, did the rest. No one was ever implicated, as no evidence was ob- tainable. Josephine quickly lost health, and she died soon after. Every time she saw me her eyes seemed to say: ‘You know something about this.' After her death I moved to Islesborough, a small island in Penobscot bay. This is written in a serious illness, which is probably my last. The old box and contents are given to James Gilkey. Bn lEpisofce of tbe Strike JSv Iwolfc JEtbcri oe, %., 'OS X a box in the roundhouse of the Har- risburg and Western railroad sat Jack Sullivan, a stout man with dark eyes and heavy, black mustache. His arm was in a sling, and as it was at least two weeks since it had been hurt, and all the men had now returned to work after their unsuccessful strike, all were curious to know the story concerning it. Af.er a little coax- ing on the part of the loafers at the roundhouse, he began as follows:— Well, as you all know. Jim Stearns, the leader of your strike, had ordered that no train, whether passenger or freight, should pass out of this yard. And. as most of you know, a train did pass out of this yard on the fifteenth. In some mysterious wav Stearns learned that this was going to happen beforehand, and went with some strikers to the bridge over the Xanset river at Stoughton Centre on tiie night of the fourteenth with a hand-car load of ties, with the purpose of wrecking the train. A lot of pig iron was beginning to collect, and Mr. Harris, the foreman, did not know what to do with it all. He went to Weber and obtained per- mission to carry off the surplus if he could get a crew for a train. He came to me and I consented to run the engine and persuaded my fireman to come with me. A conductor and two brakemen were necessary to complete the outfit and they were soon on hand. Harris loaded up the cars and on the fifteenth, about 1 A. M., I had the engine readv. and we started for Salem. Of course I had not the slightest idea that Stearns was watching me. and so I felt perfectly free to run pretty fast. Meanwhile, Stearns and his men. it seems, had gone to the Junction and from there walked a little way back over the bridge, which stands only fifteen feet above the water of the river, which is very deep and wide. There they had piled up their old ties and chained them firmly down, so that the engine could not break through. We were going at a good clip when coming on to the bridge, I was taking it easy and the fireman was looking into the darkness of the water. Sud- denly he jumped up and shouted ‘Jump.’ which 1 did, and far out over the water I leaped. A mo- ment afterwards I heard a crash, then a splash quite near me. and then I comprehended. I swam toward the Junction side of the river and ran to the station to tell of the disaster. At daybreak the mvstcrious object on the track was discovered, but not a sign of the fireman or the rest of the crew was to be seen. Later in the day, however, the fireman was found on the bank dead, and divers recovered the bodies in the caboose. And that is one result of your foolish strike: why four men lost their lives: why I carry my arm in a sling, and why Stearns is being tried for man- slaughter at Xantic to-day. 132 SO M E R VIL LE RADI ATO R athletic iWotcs “Hilly” Eaton.

P.ea-h got 1� in German on his last report. Do—ear forgot to imitate an auto. Sa—ord forgot to speak of the class dues one day. (j—ve didn’t speak to a girl one whole recess. Sa—ge knew his English lesson. As we came back after the vacation we felt a certain pang of sadness as we thought that we were entering upon the last weeks of our school career. Some few of us arc going to institutions of higher learning, and to these the end of High School cannot come too soon, but to the grand majority school days end. and with them the best part of our lives becomes a memory. Although we of 1906 will not be in school when Mr. Avery takes the reins of government, he has our most heartfelt wishes that his efforts mav be crowned with unlimited success in his new position. 'I liose who know Mr. Avery cannot but feel that the school is very fortunate in securing so able and conscientious a teacher as he, to succeed Mr. Whitcomb. Look back. Seniors, over your four years’ work in High School. Very few of us can say that we would do just the same if we could begin again, but leaving regrets behind, let us bend all our efforts to finish well. The June issue of the Radiato� is in many ways the most important. The management will make every effort to make this June's number sec- ond to none. It is hoped that 1900 will lead the school in subscriptions. We hope Baldv Xewall can stand just one more knock. His hair is still going. Safford looks worried. Pay your dues. 1906, and save Carl from a nervous breakdown. .Next year at this time we will look back with a sigh and think of the easy time we were having. Even though we accept positions yielding a goodly salary, no position can compare with our present one. Seniors look forward with much pleasure to the pleasant times to come this and next month, but with all our good times we must look out for our work at school. ’07 Walter H. McIntosh, Class Editor. When (Ireck meets Greek, then ensues the tug of war. When Sophomore meets Sophomore, then comes a big uproar. The Tech” boys are wearing a worried expres- sion on their faces at present. Their preliminary examinations, which are not far distant, arc. if the Tech examiners live up to their reputations, of the hardest kind, and furnish cause for a good deal of worry. Moral: Keep away from Room 22, girls, lest you distract their attention from their studies. Come up to Room 92. nobodv works up there but! ! ! The Oratorio is over, and has been pronounced, by critics, a grand success. There is only one way that the class can show its true regret that Mr. Whitcomb is to leave us. and that is by making these last two months of his con- nection with the school the most enjoyable ones that he has experienced since entering the school ten years ago. Let each individual member of out- class see that he has no cause to complain of the class of 1907. We congratulate Mr. Avery upon his appoint- ment as head master to succeed Mr. Whitcomb. Let everyone support Mr. Avery, and the result cannot help but be good. Crow F-tm-n and a certain Freshman have “made up. Doc did himself proud in this case, and brought about a reconciliation which had long 136 SC)MERVILLK KADIATOR been looked and hoped for.

The chief desires of the Tech division are: Ail- cock and Hoyt, seats in the new Latin School; Brewer. a pair of long trousers: Cohen, the adop- tion of his phonetic spelling for French; Craig, a new high school on or near Dover street; Ekser- gian. something funny to cheer him up; Frost, more growth, a handkerchief, a brush and a comb: Gliddcn. a new language in which to write his name; Kobbon and Rolfe. more milk shower baths in the basement: Laurie, a key chain on which to carry his manual training locker key: Moore, more Radi tok notes, quick : Olin. more debates to lead (to destruction); Rich, a residence in West Somer- ville. in order to save shoe leather and car fares; Scrivcn. more vacations: Worth, a life restorer for Iazv folks.

For the Seniors this will be the last dance of their high school days. Those who have patronized the many dances during the winter will no doubt find pleas- ure in patronizing this last grand event of the year. And those who have not attended the other func- tions should redeem themselves by being present at the Senior Soiree. Elaborate preparations arc being made to make this event the crowning feature of the year. It is the last chance: the last chance for the classes of 1906 to do themselves proud, and the last chance for the Seniors or any other members of the schools to attend a dance this term. The Senior Soiree will as usual take place at Anthoine's Academy on the night of June 8, at eight o’clock. 'Che subscription is two dollars per couple, and tickets may be secured by applying to the members of the two Senior class commit- tees. Applications by mail should be sent to Ber- gen Reynolds, of the Latin, or Richard Fernandez, of the English School. Remember it is the last chance to do a little to aid a good cause. Everybody turn out and join in making it a success. ----------------------------- Gamma ]£ta ikappa The regular bi-monthly meeting of the month of April was held at the home of Joseph Whitaker on the night of April 16. At this meeting the frater- nity’s first honorary member was initiated in the person of Robert Nichols. Also four new mem- bers were pledged. Plans for the May week were discussed and decided upon. After the lengthy business meeting, the members retired to tin; dining-room, where the excellent collation was much enjoyed. A most enjoyable evening was brought to a close with a season of song. During the vacation the Fraternity was most fortunate in having the use of the cottage of Ber- gen Reynolds at Marblehead Neck. It was here that the four neophytes, namely: Frank Merrill, Nat Rice. John Scriven. and Herbert Jarvis, were led on April 28, to make the cottage fit and clean. Their scrubbing was much enjoyed, and the rod was not spared. By evening most of the members had arrived, which only added to the misery of the candidates. Different relays got meals, and some of the dinners would do justice to a good hotel. But some of the hungry Geks” were not sparing of the provision, so that by the end of the week we had fish three times a day. The time was passed very enjoyable with boat- ing. ball, and reading, while Marblehead proved a strong attraction to a few Geks. Why, it would he wrong to tell, for it might make trouble. Among the notable events which took place was the game of baseball played between the Geks and Marblehead High School. The result of the game was a defeat for the Geks to the tunc of I to 3. It was great sport, and was enjoyed by all. The final initiation came on Thursday night, when the candidates were made to do severe “stunts.” They proved themselves made of the proper stuff, ami all the knocks were forgotten when all sat down to one of the best dinners of the week. It was a beautiful night, and we all stayed out of doors until a late hour singing popular songs and old-time melodies. Most of the members came home Saturday morning, but there were three who lost the last car and had to remain until Sunday. Explanations will have to be given as to the reason. All agree that it was one of the best weeks ever spent and it will long be remembered.

She has a record of thu tv-six and one-half years' service in the Latin school, and there is no better known teacher in Somerville, with the exception of Dr. Baxter. Her work has been many-sided and far-reaching, and she has displayed a marvelous capability for inspiring enthusiasm in those who have been under her care. In college preparatory work Miss Fox has fitted more students for passing the examina- MISS SARAH W. FOX tions in Latin than any other teacher. Although Latin has been her specialty, she is equally com- petent in the other branches of preparatory work. Countless numbers of graduates (who now occupy positions of responsibility throughout the country are loud in their praise of Miss Fox’s conscientious work. Perhaps the secret of Miss Fox's phenom- enal success may be partly explained by the fact that she is a broad-minded woman of lofty ideals and high principles. She possesses culture in its truest form: not the culture acquired bv read- ing many'books, but the culture which is the gift of (lod. She is a woman of a strong will and determination, and there is no one of us who does not admire her fortitude in continuing her duties as teacher despite her failing health and physical weakness. We appreciate also the fact that not every one could continue the performance of duties in such a way as she has done under such adverse conditions. This month when the classes of 1900 close their four years of high school, and when Mr. Whitcomb closes his eleven years of faithful service in the F.nglish School. Miss F'ox will close her long and useful career of fifty years of teaching. But though her career as a teacher will be ended, we feel that life lias much in store for her. and that she will be able now to use for her own welfare and happiness the cnergv she has hitherto devoted so generously to others. But how we shall all miss her! It is impossible to measure the influence of a woman like Miss Fox in such a position as she has held. We feel it is no exaggeration to say that Somerville is a better city to-day than it would have been if Miss Fox had not taught in the high school for the last thirty-six years. ----------------------------- Ualefcicticn The time has at last presented itself when this staff must bid farewell to the Radiator and to the schools for which it stands. In the beginning the outlook loomed dark and bleak, but by persever- ance we have succeeded in completing the fifteenth volume. The task was difficult, and one might believe that we are now glad to free ourselves from such re- sponsibility Those, however, are not our senti- ments. During our short connection with the Radiator we have formed for it a strong attach- SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 147 ment, an attachment which may not he severed by time or distance, although we are soon to sever our ■connection with the administrative board. The Radiato� has not seemed to us an annoyance: it has entered into our life and become a part of it. Those who have not been connected with this pub- lication except as subscribers may feel interested in its welfare, but they can hardly entertain for it that interest that has spurred us on to that little which we call our best. When we entered upon our term of office the existence of the Radiato� was sorely threatened, and many thought that we had taken up a futile task. The publication was delayed one month, but. with that exception, we have been able to keep the enterprise afloat. From the outset, indebtedness of former managements stared us in the face, and more than one difficulty arose to discourage 11s. e persevered, and now we can say. and say proudly, that we. the present staff, do not owe one cent. We should be more happy to have been able to liquidate the former debt, but we have kept our- selves from indebtedness, and have broken the trail for the succeeding staff. We can now surrender authority, feeling that our mission has been accom- plished. We resign with the feeling that the Radiato� falls into the care of capable hands. The future editorials will be penned by other hands than ours. Our work is completed. But before our pen is set aside we wish to bid a fond farewell to the Radiato� . We shall miss our school paper, but it will still continue, cntirelv oblivious of our existence. With regret, but with high hopes for the future, we bid the Radiato� Godspeed. - —— — -------------------- tWlbitber? At this time of graduation the question which should occupy the largest part of our thought is, “Whither?” Where are you going after turning your back upon these schools? What path in life have you chosen? Has your choice been a wise one? All these queries should furnish each and everyone ol the prospective graduates much food for thought. We are not so wise ourselves as to be able to offer advice on this subject, but we do advise you to follow the monitions of those who have already had to contend with the uncertainties of life. Re- member you have the making of your life in your hands, and it is no trifling matter. Act wisely, follow good advice, do what you know is right, and the highest kind of success will be your reward. Bn Hclmowleboment Positions on the Radiator arc generally and perhaps rightly considered thankless. However, the ] ositions were accepted with the understand- ing that the holders would receive nothing for their services. With scarcely an exception the members of the staff have performed their various duties creditably. 'I'he members of the faculty who have given so much of their time to the Radiator have proved themselves invaluable, and we sincerely thank .Miss Merrill. Miss I’ratt. and Mr. Hosmcr for their generosity. We are greatly indebted to Arthur Thayer, who for over half the term has been acting business manager, and without whom our work on the Radiato� would have been greatly handicapped. We wish to thank Miss Cousens for the stories she has contributed. Miss Allen, too. has the thanks of the editor for the business-like way in which she upheld the English School end of the alumni department. The athletic notes have been the best that have appeared for years and we were right when as class editor we prophecied that R. Archer Bowl by would be heard from at a future date. The editor also wishes to show his apprecia- tion for the great help which he has received during the year from Gabriel Farrell, Jr. Those who supported the Radiator by giving it their subscriptions and who upheld it in its trials and tribulations, have our gratitude. Last but not least wc wish to thank our advertisers; it is to their philanthropy that wc owe our existence, therefore we hope that our readers will return their compli- ment by patronizing them as much as possible. ------------------------------------ Zbc Hew Staff Our regret at leaving the Radiator staff is les- sened by the knowledge that wc give over our ad- ministration into capable hands. Of those who were elected to succeed the outgoing staff, there is net one whose fitness for the position to which he was chosen, we question. Walter H. McIntosh. E.. 07. was elected editor- in-chief. and judging by the success of his class column the Radiator will retain its high literary standard under his guidance. He w ill be assisted in the literary department by Miss Ada Hallett. L.. '07. who was the unanimous choice for associate- editor. Miss Margaret Sargent. L., '07, will surely do credit to the exchange column, while the alumni department will be ably conducted by Miss Hazel 148 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR White. L.. ’ 7, and .Miss Cora Sargent, E.. '07. Jasper A. Lane. E., ‘ � 7. was elected sporting editor, and we wish him all possible success in his newly acquired position. In recognition of his untiring services to the present administration. Arthur L. Thayer, E.. ’OS. was unanimously chosen business manager. He will be assisted by Howard Gray, L.. ‘07, and Fred A. Hoyt, L.. '09, and the entire business department will be under the supervision of the new treasurer, George M. Hosmer, of the Latin School faculty, who was too valuable a worker to remain in the po- sition of auditor. Harold Kebbon, E., ’08, was chosen staff artist, and comes last but not least upon the list of those who have the making of the next volume of the Radi .non ----------------------------- Ho tbe GvaOuatmo Class of 1006 Long live the class of nineteen six”! All hail to the class that knows no peer! The class of ‘‘nineteen six has been ably represented in all branches of athletics, and in all ventures which the two schools have promoted. She has led a long and useful life, and succeeding classes will do well to follow the shining example she has set. The very mention of nineteen six” should make every heart thrill with pride and ardor. Soon—too soon —the time will come when she will cease to be a class, when those who have upheld her reputation will enter the obscure ranks of alumni. “Dear alma mater, fare thee well. If, per- chance, we said au revoir, ’twould mean we might return to you. Rut fare thee well: that means “Good-by!” Ho tbe Class of 1907 Nineteen hundred seven,” you of all the classes arc the elect to the position which the graduating class leaves vacant. We offer you our sincere con- gratulations, vea. we do more, we envv you. If we could not belong to the class of 1906, we should most desire to be enrolled in the class of 1907, and prolong the happiness of our golden school days for another year. To you the idea may seem un- reasonable, but wait, and we do not doubt but that in twelve months more you will voice the same sen- timents which [we here express. Seniors-elect, should we attempt to give you advice you would consider it mockery. There- fore we leave you to choose your own path, and may your choice be a wise one. Ho tbe Class of 1908 Sophomores, you are about to take a new step forward in your quest of knowledge. Measure your step: do not push on blindly, and bear in mind that only fools rush in where angels fear to tread. It has been a time-honored custom for even classes to aid each other when the time pre- sents itself. In this time of peace no physical aid is necessary. Perhaps, however, these few words will give you a little moral support. When you be- come upper classmen, which you will shortly, do not ignore the fact that you still have two years in which to learn something: in other words, do not fall victims to conceit. One may be dignified with- out being conceited, as we reverend Seniors have shown you. Ho tbe Class of 1909 Congratulations. Freshmen! During this, your initial year of high school life, you have acquitted yourselves'honorably. Your quantity has already been shown, and now there remains for you but to show your quality. One year has not fully revealed it. and several more may pass before it presents itself in its best form. We have no fears that you will turn out other than a credit to the school: for you seem to possess the earmarks of a class that will make a name for itself or die. Of course you are elated at the thought of being Freshmen no longer: but when the class of 1910 arrives, do not forget in your treatment of them that you were Freshmen once. Out policy Every one has his own ideas and every one is free to express them. In writing these editorials throughout the year it has been our policy to con- fine ourselves to affairs of school or local interest. Had we not limited our subjects to so small a field the editorials would doubtless have been more in- teresting. However, it was our idea that while the Raiuatoh is a school organ, its first and chief aim should be to chronicle the events that take place in or around the schools, or the events that arc of special interest to those connected with the schools. Recause we neglected to write editorials upon oc- currences of universal interest is not a sign that we were entirclv ignorant of them. All the daily papers in the country are filled to overflowing with such news. Therefore, since the subjects of world- wide imoortance are viewed and reviewed in the journals and magazines, a high school publication SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 49 would gain but little in imitating what has already been daily food for thought. On the other hand, the newspapers and maga- zines give but little, if any, thought to what is going on in high school circles; therefore we consider it our duty to sec that charity begins at home. The newspapers and magazines arc so published that they may be of universal interest. It seems to be the idea of many that high school papers should fol- low the same policy. We entertain a different idea regarding that question. It is our belief that a high school paper should strive to emphasize the interests of the school which it represents, regard- less of outside matters. --------------------------- jllcrcic IRcscuc Gabriel Farrell, Jr., the well-known class editor of the class of Latin, ’06, saved a six-year-old boy from drowning, Sunday. May 27. This is not the first time he has been distinguished for saving life in a similar manner, but it is by far his greatest exhibition of courage and presence of mind. The event occurred in the following manner. Hearing outcries, Gabe.” as he is known to his schoolmates, ran down to his father’s float and plunged into a boat. Some men informed him what had happened, and pointed to the spot where the child had gone down for the last time. Al- though about fifteen feet in depth the water was clear enough for “Gabe” to make out the white form of the child lying on the bottom. He dived and at the first attempt brought the boy to the sur- face. where he was picked up by another boat, his own having drifted some distance away.1 The boat was hastily rowed to the boat house, where Farrell with the assistance of others worked for nearly three quarters of an hour over the un- conscious child in order to induce respiration. Finally the boy showed signs of consciousness and was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital, but Farrell accompanied him and did not relax his efforts. The little fellow soon rallied under the doctor’s care and will recover. The doctors were high in their praise of the rescuer, and declared that without his efforts the boy could not have sur- vived. We have mentioned our friend's bravery in a previous editorial and will not take advantage of his modesty by repeating it here. However, in this article the editor desires to congratulate Gabriel Farrell in behalf of the school. ---------♦-------------------- IReorets We regret to announce the serious illness of the business manager. John I.akin. During the latter part of Mav he underwent an operation for appen- dicitis and was confined in the Somerville hospital for some weeks. We hope by the time this maga- JOHN R. LAKIN zine is published that he will be on the high road to recovery. During his absence the remaining members of the executive board have labored with redoubled energy that the management might not suffer by his absence. For the benefit of those who do not know Mr. Lakin personally we reproduce his portrait. 150 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Z x flfoasqueraber 36v? UI. IP. XOWCU, X., ’0(3 11V had he done it? That was the question. What business had he to Ik posing at that very moment as a ball player? Why—but then, it was too late; he must carry out the role which he had at first considered such a huge joke to assume. He was a stranger to every one in Wintcrton. To every one except Her. Of course there was a “Her” at the bottom of it. He had met her at the beach the month before, and had told her that his name was Hilly Hamilton. So it was. and how was he to blame if She should confound it with the name of Hilly Hamilton who was one of the best- known centre-fielders in the National League? She had been so enraptured over the supposed fact that he did not have the heart to awaken her from so pleasant a dream. He was her idol—and acted as it he enjoyed it. Therefore when she made him promise to play one game with her brother's team before lie left for home, he had to do so with a front as nonchalant as possible, although he could feel his breath coming in short, quick gasps. He had been introduced to her brother, who captained a semi-professional club, and who was delighted to have so noted a ball-tosscr to strengthen his contingent. He was the object of numerous courtesies, and was graciously informed that he might appear in his usual position of centre- field. And in centre-field he was, vainly wishing that he might be still farther away from the centred gaze of the enraptured beauties who thronged the stands, and who were aware, or rather were not aware, of his identity. To add to his discomfiture, the August sun shone brightly into his soulful eyes, so that even though the ball did come his way, he would have no little difficulty in locating it. Though not a battle for the championship, the game was hotly contested, and up to this point, the seventh inning, neither side had been able to send a runner over the plate. From the outset the game had been a pitchers' battle, and for that fact our hero was duly grateful. The last of the opponent's men had fanned the atmosphere thrice, and as Hilly trotted in from the field, he remembered, not without a suppressed shudder, that he was tin- first at bat. Twice before he had stepped up to the plate, bat in hand, and twice he had given the air a sound thrashing and returned to the bench, so that the spectators were beginning to lose faith in his great prowess on the diamond. ()n came the ball, as if shot from a catapult, but instead of curving gracefully over the plate, it nestled affectionately just below Hilly's belt. When lie recovered his breath, he trotted down to the initial bag feeling that being hit was really a bless- ing in disguise. Following the advice of a coach on the side-lines, he dashed madly for second on the next ball pitched, and more to iiis surprise than to that of the spectators, he arrived in safety. While removing the debris from the folds of his uniform, he heard a mighty cheer from the crowd. The batter had made a hit. and 'Hilly instinctively made a spurt for third, passed it. and started on the home stretch. He ran blindly, not knowing where the ball was, and not heeding the cries of the rooters, some crying, Go back!” and others, “Slide! slide!” However, slide he did. for at that moment he unwittingly trod upon a discarded orange peel, and his feet shot out from under him. This not only- occasioned him a severe shaking up, but affected © the opposing catcher likewise, and that is why when the dust cleared away the score stood 1-0 in Win- terton's favor. How the crowd cheered! A thousand throats showed that their faith in his prowess was restored. The captain wrung his hand with ill-concealed emo- tion. and he could see Her waving a purple banner from the right-field bleachers. Despite the glory thrust upon him from every quarter, lie sincerely prayed that it would soon be over. As if to gratify his desire, nothing did happen until the last half of the ninth, when the other side- had one last chance to retrieve itself. The first man up fouled out: but his successor fared better and received a pass to the initial bag. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR � 5i Another marched to the plate with steady tread, and marched back again with tread not quite so steady, having failed to accomplish his mission. Anothet took his place and sent the firs: ball pitched over the pitcher's head for a pretty single, sending the base-runner around to third. Excitement was in- tense. So was the heat, but that did not prevent the crowd from staying to watch the final outcome of the game. The silence was deathlike, and one could hear nothing but the ice clinking in the lemonade glasses. Another athlete strode majestically to the plate. It was the captain of the other side. On his face there was something more than beads of perspira- tion. On his face was a look of grim determination. Me swung viciously at the first ball delivered, but failed to make any marked impression. The next one was permitted to go by unmolested, and the batter had the extreme pleasure of hearing the husky voice of the umpire proclaim. Strike tub! Then all at once a sharp crack was heard; the cap- tain of the other side” dropped the shattered re- mains of his Louisville Slugger and set out upon his “mile-a-minute” journey around the diamond. As for the horse-hide-covered sphere, it soared away in the direction of centre-field, where stood the penitent namesake of the great Billy Hamilton. his gloved hand raised to shield his eyes from the remorseless sun. He could not sec the approach- ing ball. What of it? It would have been of no avail: lie could not have caught it with the aid of a large-sized butterfly net. On came the ball, on and on. nearer and nearer. It struck the centre-fielder's upraised glove, tore away a portion of the leather web between the thumb and forefinger, and—stuck there Billy himself was the most surprised member of that howling mob. He allowed himself to be car- ried away upon their shoulders, for had he not won the game and saved it? After it was all over, the captain came and asked him if he would finish the season with them. Would he? He laughed silently to himself at the grim humor of such an idea, but he told the captain that he would give him a definite answer on the morrow. At eleven o’clock that night the impromptu base- ball hero dropped noiselessly to the sidewalk from the second-story window of his hotel, without sav- ing good-by. He left the town secretly and under cover of darkness. He left the town far behind him. He left Her. And. above all. he left his gol- den opportunity of becoming as famous as the origi- nal Billy Hamilton. Hit Opportune IReunion 3 : Tantillam lb. flDarsball, 3r., '07 CHAPTER I. THE STRESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES. HEN the moon’s silvery radiance clothes the world in her soft, sooth- ing light, sentimental thoughts arc apt to arise, or if one is not addicted to sentiment, lie is prone to ponder on the past, living over by-gone scenes, and correcting mistakes, and if in the retrospect he resurrects any perfect days, he en- joys the thought that they existed. But when the sun's splendor warms the heart of man. we are not apt to notice it. except when it is conspicuous by its absence, or at sunrise and sunset, as it tints the hills into a golden hue. when we are so rapt in ad- miring its magnificence, that no such an insignifi- cant thing as man could permeate our meditation. The moon was shining very beautifully; indeed, no grandfather could recall a better night, even ’way back in the ’sixties and that was saying a good deal, as they could generally remember something better for most anything. Her brilliancy made all the world luminous in her own peculiar way. seeming to light up just enough, and adapting itself readily to one’s thoughts, but influencing pleasant contemplation. It is on such a night that authors and poets, inspired by nature, write sonnets and treatises depicting her beauties; it is on such a night that theologians study the end- less wonders of the Maker through His works: it is on such a night that philosophers dwell on the iniquities of man. and lay elaborate plans for rec- tifying their brethren’s mistakes; it is on such a night that astronomers scan the milky way to dis- cover new comets, and speculate on the structure and composition of the earth’s satellite: ’twas on such a night that Lorenzo made love to the fair Jessica, and did converse right genially with her on great happenings on similar nights. As the moon lighted up the landscape, throwing the open spaces into relief against the jet. un- fathomable. mysterious blackness of the shade, a small, isolated cottage was disclosed in a valley among the hills. On each side like sentinels rose two towering forest-clothed hills, far to the rear stretched a vast expanse of wood, and environing the cottage was the cultivated land, once sylvan, but bv the influence of the woodman's axe and farmer's plow, made to contribute to man’s suste- nance. It was a small, but strongly-built edifice, re- sembling a bungalow in shape: it had evidently been added to as its owner's prosperity increased, as the ells at each end showed signs of more re- cent construction than the central part, which was apparently the original cabin that the pioneer built, when lie cleared away the forests, and established his home. On the porch sat a group of people, a gentle- man and lady, evidently man and wife, and several 152 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR children, who were speculating on the indefinite shadows created by suspicious objects. The gentle- man's face was sad. but refined. He had once been rich, but hardship had taken the greater part of his wealth, and he was now in uncertain circum- stances. The lady’s face bore lines of care, but she had the feminine trait of endeavoring always to forget her own burden and relieve those of others. The children had all the abandonment of youth, letting all their worldly cares go with the time, and dwelling only on that which is interesting on the spur of the moment. Somewhat apart from the children, the elder persons were conversing in low tones so as not to attract their attention, as it was ostensibly of such import as not to be suitable for youthful ears. I am afraid I'm done for this time. the gentle- man said sadly. 1 tried hard, but fate was against me. When one gets to going down, he never stops, but rolls until he meets some insurmountable object, which culminates in his ruin. Perhaps you can borrow enough money from the Lorrcns. said the lady sympathetically. When they were in hard lines, you helped them, and people of the right kind are always willing to repay a good deed. The Lorrcns are the right kind, and I am sure you could get the necessary amount from them.” Xo, I could never do that. the man said em- phatically. “It has never been said that a Carlton borrowed of anyone, and I’ll not be the first. Xo. though 1 hate to say it, the old house will have to go. “Perhaps when you go to the city, you can earn money enough to buy it back again. There are many ways of making money in a city, and then there’ll be all the more satisfaction because you’ve earned it.” Johnson wouldn't sell it. He has been pining for the old place for years, and now he's got the chance he'll hold it. Besides he had personal ani- mosity against me so bitter that nothing in his power would be too good for me. But he might allow you a little more time in which to raise the money. Then you could sell some of our things easy, and so you would not have to leave the old house at all.” “Johnson isn’t that kind. He has schooled him- self to take the roof from over the heads of defence- less widows and orphans, then would he favor an enemv—a person who was never afraid to tell him what he was? )h. no. T know Johnson too well for that: at this moment he is gloating over to- morrow’s work, and planning contemptuous speeches, in which to show us our meanness, and his nobilitv and integrity! Then. the lady said hesitatingly, “perhaps Paul will come home. He could always find a remedy for all cases, and I’m sure he could this.” Paul!” the man exclaimed, Paul! I’d never let him enter my house, even if it won't be mine to-morrow. There never was a Carlton who would countenance disobedience in a son. and I’ll not break the rule. I told him never to cross my threshold, and I'll keep my word.” Well, there isn’t much chance of his coming home anyway. said the lady pacifically, as she saw she had struck into troublesome waters. But if he should, would you receive him, dear?” Xo, I could never take back a son who dis- obeyed his father. Xo, though I have to engage in the meanest plebeian trade. I would not be guilty of such an act.” The moon's brilliancy was now somewhat marred by a cloud which obscured her face, and the world was merged in an impenetrable darkness. These last words were spoken quite loudly, so that they reached the ears of the children, ever on the alert for suspicious sounds: they had not heard the first part of the conversation however, and so were unable to get a coherent idea of their father’s con- dition. but the last remark was sufficient. Paul, though they had not seen him much, was beloved by the children, because of little brotherly acts that touched their hearts. They had thought first that he was coming back, and their hopes had arisen, they were already planning a surprise for him. but as the last words were uttered their spirits were rudely shaken, and they indulged freely in childish grief. When the light was suddenly shut off. and their vision obscured, they attributed it to the moon’s anger and resentment at their father’s cruel words, and they seriously told him so. Whether it was this, or the sad. regretful, but resigned ex- pression that overspread the lady’s countenance, that made him change his mind is a matter of doubt, but he did so. I guess I'd better let him come back,” he said slowly. It isn't for mvself I’m thinking, but for you and the children. Perhaps he could help us some, and then you and the children wouldn’t have to undergo the drudgery of city life. He didn't do anything so irretrievable after all. so I guess I'll take him back. But there isn’t much chance that he'll come back, for evil spirits don’t come when they’re wanted. The moon, as if she considered this a favorable- decision. condescended to look down to man. and unclouded her brow, smiling benignly on mother earth. The world was resplendent in new robes, seemingly more magnificent than before, as if it. too. shared the moon’s genial temperament, and was bent on exhibiting it by its best apparel. How beautiful the moon shines to-night. said the lady. I never saw anything like it. It lights up in its way not inferior to the sun. but far more agreeable after a hot summer’s day. Its softness seems to bring before us all that is good in life, and it is not appropriate to let those thoughts which are displeasing and yet without remedy to perforate our minds.” Mayn't we stay up to-night, oapa?” said a little girl. It is so lovely out. and we don’t feel slcepv. Besides we never stayed up late before, and Bessie Lorrcns has. Yes. you may to-night. said the father, and SOMER VILLE RADIATOR 153 then in a whisper to his wife, “We might as well let the little things enjoy as much of the old home as possible before they are cooped up in the little prison-like tenements of the city. It is well to en- joy our little pleasures in life while there is yet time. E' Thus the family remained seated on the porch, the man and wife watching the never-failing grandeur of the heavens, and the beautiful effects in which the light of the moon rendered all the world: and the children ever looking for the weird shapes which their imaginations anticipated, and always hearing suspicious sounds that these dreadful monsters uttered: they were waiting fo- the mysterious hour of midnight, at which time they declared that they would see a phantom, as Bessie Lorrens had seen one once at that time. The despondency which had affected the elder persons was now relaxed, as they became more and more absorbed in contemplating nature s beauties: and the children were so engrossed in waiting for belated spirits that all else was given no place in their thoughts. CHAPTER II. BETWEEN TWO FIRES. As the moon's effulgence lighted up the world, the rude country road was illuminated as com- pletely as a city avenue with electric lights at short intervals. It disclosed every object, making the most insignificant, innocuous hedge or bush look like veritable, blood-thirsty demons, by the weird, uncanny light in which they were clothed, and the solitude and appropriateness for an awful tragedy. The timid person was ever seeing anticipated horrors beyond the bend in the road, and recoiling in terror, as a stately, inoffensive, fine tree loomed through the night. It was about ten o'clock, at which hour everybody should have been in dream- land. or enjoying the pleasant atmosphere of the night from the comfortable corner of the veranda. Slowly along the road strolled a broad-shouldered, stalwart youth, who. judging from appearances, was inured to hard labor, for which his frame was aptly fitted. He was neatly dressed, and was so engrossed in meditation that he did not heed where he was going, though he doubtless had some fixed destination in mind. As he was slowly sauntering along he came suddenly upon a moss-covered, in- viting-looking rock, and by the way his eye lit up. it was plain that he recognized it. He paused and. after a minute, decided to rest awhile, in order to give more freedom to his thoughts. He was silent a moment, and then, as people sometimes do when surrounded by solitude and oppressed by thoughts, he gave voice to his meditation. “Why should I help the old man? he said. If I were coming home poor instead of rich, he would repeat what he said when he turned me out. ‘do. and never cross mv threshold again.' Then, why should I attempt to cross his threshold ii I have no need to? Surclv I don't owe my wealth to him. though he was the indirect cause of it. Little did he think, when he sent me away, that he was send- ing me to an El Dorado’: but I don’t owe it to him; all I've got I've earned myself. Then why should I help him now he's in need? He wouldn't do it for me in a similar case. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it. It was a trait of the Carltons never to forgive a wrong: then, why should I be the first ? “Hut if I want to go home, would father permit me to? I guess not. I know him too well. Would he take back a once despised son now independent of his father? Oh, no. that's too unlike him: he could not take the edge off his indomitable pride even in distress. Then if I’m not wanted, why should I go home? I guess the best course for me is to go back to town, and let matters form them- selves. If father really wants me to help him. I'll let him know where to find me, but if lie doesn't. I’ll not go to him and offer him the aid for which he is too proud to ask. Thus reasoning lie went on in an opposite direc- tion. with the determined, elastic step of one who had made up his mind and in the prime of man- hood. His experience had- been a peculiar one. When he was about eighteen years old. he had quarreled with his father over a trivial matter, but he was so obstinate in stating his views, which were at variance with his father's, that the latter con- strued his persistence into an encroachment on the discipline which lie was always very strenuous in enforcing. He told him so. but the son did not see it in this light, and was not slow in attesting to this fact: the father was enraged and banished him. with an injunction never again to return. The son showed no indications of regret, but departed with- out a word. He had read considerable about the diamond fields in South Africa, and as he had saved barely enough money for the passage, he worked his way on an ocean iincr. eventually arriving on the dia- mond fields. After varying vicissitudes of luck and failure, he suddcnlv “struck it rich.” and amassed a large fortune. He then returned to his native country, and to the town where he was wont to spend iiis money in his youthful days. The youth was walking slowly along when lie paused all of a sudden. He was struck by a sud- den thought, and it was evidently of a different nature from his previous meditation, as it con- fused him. and made him assume his old pensive gait. The idea served to make him change his mind, for instead of going to the city he started in his former direction. He ambled on. almost stag- gering with his thoughts, until he again arrived at the moss-covered rock, where he once more sat down. I never thought of that. he exclaimed. “I en- tirely forgot my mother. In the five past years, f have long felt the need of her counsel, and now in any advent of bad luck to father, would she not share it with him? Yes. and she'd go through many years of suffering, just because she thought it was her duty, when she could go to grand- father's just as well as not. Hut might not father 154 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR do just what I did, and so make enough money to support them? Then it would be all right, and I won’t have to go home after all, and perhaps it would be just as well, for if he needs me, he can look for me.” He again started in the direction of the city, but just then the cloud obscured the moon’s surface, and he looked up with the surprise of one standing on a street corner when the light suddenly goes out. Sometimes our emotions are influenced by out- ward appearances, a gloomy exterior conducing to pessimism, and gay surroundings tending to make us look on the bright side of life. It was just this way with him. As he saw the dark side of the world, so he saw the misery and forlornness of his mother’s future life, and so again his mind was changed: he started off in the direction of his home with the brisk and springy step of one who has just made up his mind, having decided a per- plexing question to his satisfaction. The moon again smiled benignly down on him : the owl tooted its acquiescence with his decision; the cricket chirped its assent: and a gust of air murmured its approval through the mute branches of the trees. CHAPTER III. MUTUAL CONFUSION. It was within a quarter of an hour to twelve, and yet the Carltons had not retired. They were still seated on the veranda,—Mr. and Mrs. Carlton passively star-gazing, and the children, who had ceased their childish prattle, somewhat awed by the serenity of the surrounding scene, and await- ing the approach of the spirit, who they still averred would come at midnight. The whole world was one unbroken quiet, being as silent as a vacuous, uninhabited house. Even the owl, who was wont to lend his single voice to relieve the monotony of night, did not deem it proper to break the stillness. Everything seemed to be actuated by one common impulse to increase as far as possible the sublime, soothing quiet. The moon. too. seemed to be striv- ing to further the cause of stillness by shedding on the world her soft, mellow light, and inviting mor- tals to dreamland; the children claimed they saw in her kind, benevolent face a foreboding of some coming wonder, which would furnish them with news with which to astound the Lorrcns, and ex- cite their envy and regret, because they, too. had not been allowed to stay up. The soft night air. and the solitude of every- thing. conduced to drowsiness, but the children and their elders were kept awake by different feelings: the children bv their eagerness to behold a real ghost: their parents by thoughts of the morrow. The extreme silence of the world made everybody silent, by a vague disinclination to break the gen- eral reticent mood. The trees occasionallv sighed a plaintive protest to the stillness, as their leaves were rustled by a fitful breeze, and once in a while the light tread of some prowling animal was heard, who was perhaps possessed of a human attribute of somnambulism, or seeking solace for a tired soul in the pursuit of sleeping prey. The minutes lagged slowly on; to the children slow, but to their parents time was all too fleet. It seemed to the younger folk that the minute- hand of their father’s watch would never point to twelve, and it took all their power to ward off the man with the sand, who vainly endeavored to en- tice them into the land of dreams. The ghost might come a little earlier, they thought, and if lu didn't he was a bad. naughty ghost. But the flight of time went on, and the minute-hand finally wended its weary wav to ten minutes to twelve. Ah. at last they would see him! Five minutes to twelve, and sure enough there was a tread on the path, but did ghosts make noise? The children heard it. and eagerly watched the place where the ghost could be seen, just beyond the hedge, in the garden flooded with moonlight. The step ap- proached, and was more audible; the chil- dren became excited. The step came farther still, and now could be distinctly heard. The lady be- came nervous: the man was wondering who would come at that hour of the night, and concluded that it must be Johnson: and the children never took their eyes off the entrance to the grove. The height of the excitement was attained when a figure ini merged from the shadow and walked boldly into the moonlight. Mr. Carlton was now fully convinced that it must be Johnson, who. he thought, had been so impatient to execute his new piece of graft that he could not wait until morning, and so came early to prolong his amusement. He was consequently on liis honor, and ransacked the arsenal of his vocabulary for fitting expressions with which to discomfit his enemy, and yet not impair the Carl- ton name. Well. sir. what do you wish at this hour?” he asked. I see. you were unable to wait until morn- ing.—the strain was too great, eh? But I can wait until to-morrow and so as host I shall be com- pelled to ask you to.” The person, whoever lie was. advanced further, walking carelessly, and not appearing to notice Mr. Carlton’s remarks. You are too important to answer—eh? Well. I'm not tor important to ask the question, and so I require you to answer me. What is the cause of your visit to my house at this hour of the night?” The intruder still kept his silence, and stcadilv approached, with stolid indifference to Mr. Carl- ton’s questions. Sir. said Mr. Carlton. “I command you to reply to my questions. T may not own this house to-morrow, but I do now. and so have a right to ask you. Don’t approach a step nearer, or T shall be obliged to treat you like any visitor who calls in the night without an invitation.” The person stood motionless. ITc was now in a spot that was in a flood of moonlight, and his fea- tures were plainly discernible. They strangely re- sembled Mr. Carlton’s, which a casual observer would readily have detected. Mrs. Carlton looked at him a minute fearfully.—then she inspected him a little closer.—and then, with a scream, rushed to him. SOM E R VILLE RADIATO R 55 Mother and son were clasped in a fond embrace, and it was sonic time before anyone could speak. At last Paul disengaged himself, looking exceed- ingly disturbed, and showing a desire to secret him- self somewhere where no eyes could perceive his flushed face, lie stood still, fumbling his hat ner- vously. like a bashful suitor, and all of a sudden lie turned around—he had to cough. Even then the moon’s prying, searching glance was upon him. and seemed to smile upon his predicament. At last he mustered courage to speak, and stam- mered : “I —er — believe — er — aw — you’re in trouble. Yes, replied his mother. And then he said more bravely to his father: Would you permit me to be of any assistance to you? Yes,” replied that gentleman, and then rushed headlong into the house, unwilling even in the presence of his family to be seen to give in to any- one—let alone his own son. He censured himself again and again for not bidding his son to be gone; but on each attempt something prevented him. lie felt as if lie could never look the world in the face, and he longed that he might be allowed the privilege of refraining from doing so in the future. Paul gave his mother a concise account of his life abroad, and then that lady noticed to her aston- ishment that it was twelve o’clock! The idea—• twelve o’clock; and not in bed! Whoever heard of such a thing? The children, to their regret, were hustled off to bed. but they were content. They at least had something to tell those Lorrens. even if it was not a ghost story. Paul was shown his old room, which was exactly as he had left it five years before. But now he was able to recog- nize the value of it. Five years of bunking out on the shady side of trees, or sleeping peacefully on the (downy) hard-wood floor, with various breeds of migrating insects executing a cake-walk along his reclining body, had taught him the benefit to be derived from a real bed. He no longer felt like going to town. But his whole soul was throbbing with the exhilaration of being in a place that he could call home; and lie wondered now how he could ever have gone away. He went through all his trinkets, unearthing many a thing that lie had once cherished, handling them with childish delight: The old fishhook that in his boyhood days he had thought was better than other fishhooks, because it possessed some magic properties that always tempted the fishes to bite; he fondled his marbles, counting them as eagerly as ever a miser counted his treasured gold; and finally he got down his school books, and was soon perplexed over an in- tricate mathematical problem. lie could not bear to go to bed. but waited with impatience the approach of morning. He looked over the woods, planning hunts after hickory and hazel nuts, or plotting danger to the squirrels with his little, destructive, twenty-two calibre rifle. At last the moon was paling, and the one great hill which Paul saw from his window was becoming crimson, as the sun commenced his journey above the horizon. The next day, bright and early, a clatter of hoofs was heard on the road, from the direction of Claighton. and soon after a pompous gentleman descended from a stately vehicle, striding towards the Carlton house with the air of the habitual owner of vast estates. He was politely greeted at the door by Mr. Carlton, and was exceedingly as- tonished when that gentleman produced money for the full amount of the debt: but he accepted it without a word, and departed whence he came. TLhc Regeneration of fillies IRutb ,i6 ? ttarfon Goodwin Eaton, ’0(3 1SS RUTH woke with a start as the vil- legc clock struck five and lay still, dreamily conscious of some unusual noise. Soon the noise defined itself as the protesting screech of old boards that are being ripped apart. Miss Ruth sat up and pulled emphatically at the bell-rope. Presently her serving-maid, almost as old as Miss Ruth herself, came into the east chamber, flushed with excitement. Tiny,” said her mistress, what is that peculiar sound?” •It's Colonel Abbot’s house. replied Tiny. “They're a-tcaring it up. And they do say Ed Temple wouldn’t take the job. and that goose-house •of a nephew of the Colonel’s had to get a city man. Contractor he calls himself. Tearing down the Colonel’s house,” gasped Miss Ruth, “and what arc they doing that tor, Tiny?” Well, inarm, that go—” Be careful. Yiny.” That nephew says he hasn’t no use for that old scanty, and he is going to put up a modern block— whatever that is—and have stores in it and a hall overhead. And there’s no telling what he’ll let it for.” Miss Ruth said nothing for a moment. The poor little lady was dazed, and her New England “up- rearing kept her from saying what she thought. Her maid, watching her. saw a reluctant tear creep down her wrinkled cheek. Yinv.” said Miss Ruth iu a dignified tone, why do you stand there staring? Go look out the window and see if that isn’t Ed Temple. Xo city men would get here this early.” SOMKRVILLE RADIATOR 150 Mccklv Viny pulled up the heavy curtain and looked out. The slant red rays of the early sun blinded her and she shaded her eyes with her hand for a moment. Then she turned to her mistress. Land sakes! it is Ed! I don't wonder lie kept dark about it. Hut how on airth did he keep it from his wife? His wife likes money as well as he does, and she knew if this was known in the town it would never be permitted. Miss Ruth almost snapped. Later in the morning the old lady's favorite niece and namesake came in to see her on her way back from the morning mail. The girl found her aunt wavering between tears and righteous indigna- tion. and she petted and soothed her and scolded that nephew with a comforting sincerity. Then she showed Miss Ruth a letter from an aunt, who lived near Xew York, asking her to come and stay till the first of June. “That will be very pleasant, dear. said Miss Ruth, and your brother will be glad to see you. too.” I had a note from Bob and he says if I come he and Tommy will give me a jolly time. Ruth. said the old lady. You have never met that young man who lives with Robert, and it is not proper for you to speak of him so. Her niece hastily assured her that she was only repeating her brother’s words, and then she offered to heh) her aunt move from the east chamber into the west, that she might not hear the pounding in the morning. All the time they were changing Miss Ruth bewailed the fallen village. First they had run the trolley cars up the quiet main street, almost to her door before they stopped. Then the wires had killed two of her favorite elms that stood opposite the post-office: and the other trees had been hacked with shameless hands. And now they were putting up a modern block” in her very door-yard. Late that night a white figure stole from the west chamber across the hall into the cast room. The old lady went to the window and looked out at the old house, lying dismantled in the moonlight. The sight did not move her as she expected, but still, with a sense of duty done, she shed a few tears. For didn’t the town say the colonel had been her old-time lover? To be sure he had never said any- thing. but only Miss Ruth herself knew that, and the neighbors would repeat a whole romance about the quarrel. Miss Ruth considered that sue was sleepy, and the pounding would begin early in the morning, and so she went back to the west chamber to bed. For two months the carpenters pounded and sawed, and then the plasterers came and the painters. Then, for the two stores, two plate-glass windows, a great excitement in the town, and men from the city to set them. The two diminutive stores in the new block were hard to let. but a cheap restaurant, where the motermcn ate. took one: and one of the groceries that give trading- stamps and are apt to disappear in a night took the other. A club soon rented the hall. This unaccustomed word called tip only visions of wild orgies in the soul of Miss Ruth. Who belong to this—this club? she asked of the doctor, little Ruth's father. Oh, said he. “mostly the new aristocracy, motormcn and conductors: they'll be fine company for you nights.” George!” The club opened on a hot breathless night of early July. It seemed to Miss Ruth that the west chamber was much more stuffy than the east. C hitsidc she could hear the katydids, and an im- prisoned cricket was piping in the room some- where. Every half hour the hum of an electric would grow nearer, till it stopped in the village with a clanging bell and the shouts of the con- ductor. Presently the old lady got up and went across the hall to bed in her own room with a reck- less disregard for unaired sheets. Across the street there came an occasional laugh and the jangling of an upright.” Miss Ruth said to her- self that she could not go to sleep and resigned herself to wakefulness. Hut soon she found her- self drowsily heating time to a jigging chorus. Then some one began to sing a tenor solo. Her determined eyelids dropped and Miss Ruth never knew when the club went home. Next morning little Ruth came in to console her aunt. Was it terrible last night, aunt? she asked. Her aunt evaded the question. She did not wish to lie. and she did not like to confess. Hut the girl did not seem to notice. Hob is coming home the last of the week. she said, “and 1 had a letter from Tommy this morn- ing—— You had a letter from Tommy!” Yes. auntie. the girl went on hurriedly, Robert asked him to come and stay a month with us this summer, and lie is coming in about two weeks. Just think, he has never stayed in a New England town, and he has never met a real dear Xew England maiden lady, and he says he is com- ing principally to sec you. She kissed iicr aunt as she spoke, and Miss Ruth, pleased, said no more of the letter, memories of Colonel Abbot checking her. perhaps. The east chamber continued to be occupied, and the sympathetic visits of the neighbors got only evasive replies. The fact was Miss Ruth was grow- ing to like that terrible racket. Heard through closed windows and the thick curtain of the elms on the wide lawn that jigging ragtime had a fas- cination that made the shadowy corners less awful. Then one night the motormcn gave a ball. and the sound of the country orchestra gave Miss Ruth the old-time little shivers in her toes. She even got out of bed. and tried to dance to a particu- larly enlivening two-step. At last the day came that was to bring Tommy. He was coming on a morning train, and Ruth had promised that she would bring him to sec her aunt on the way up from the station. Miss Ruth had SOMERVILLE R A DIA TO R 57 arisen extra early to get her house in readiness. Site dusted the parlor and the sitting-room herself, and then she gathered front the garden behind the house two jars of yellow coreopsis, and picked a howl of nasturtiums for the table in the hall. Be- side them, in a tumbler, was a bunch of her famous bachelor buttons, deep pink and blue and white ones edged with pink or blue and centres to match, tied up ready to be carried away. This done, she sat down with her knitting to wait. She rocked as she worked, and soon she began to hum happily, almost unconsciously. Between her humming and the squeaking of the old rocker she never heard the steps on the porch or the gentle opening of the screen door. The young people heard the humming and paused to listen. As the tune slowly dawned upon them the girl gasped, and the young man stilled a sudden snicker. There was no denying it.—Miss Ruth sat rock- ing and knitting in her quiet front room, with the gleam of sunlight on old mahogany, rocking, and humming— Everybody works but father. flUorris £h crt, detective £be Case ot Captain Uavson’s flDuubevet: .■Gv iSrnest M. Cbaptn, n ., ’09 NE dull drizzly morning in March the wind was blustering down Milk street. Boston, with a dismal howl. It was quite early, hardly ! o’clock, and but few people were astir. But one, a young lady of twenty or so, caused those few to look at her twice. She was a slim, graceful creature attired in a blue walking suit, which became her well. Her face was fresh and prettily tinged with color as a result of contact with the wind. But there was in its expression, on the one hand, a suggestion of sadness and appre- hension which awoke a sense of compassion in the passer-by: on the other a strength and firmness of resolve which aroused wonder. The girl paused at the door of No.-----to scan the directory of the building. Morris Elvert. Detective.” she read. With a sigh of relief she took the elevator to the sixth floor. Stepping into the corridor, she was confronted by a door bearing the sign for which she sought: Morris Elvert. Detective.” Upon enter- ing she beheld a small and rather bare room, fur- nished only with a desk, a table, a bookcase, and a few chairs. At the desk was seated a very short, but otherwise well-proportioned man dressed in a business suit of quiet grey. Mr. Elvert? said the visitor, timidly, thereby calling his attention from the window, where he had been studying her re- flection. The same, said he. turning and rising with a pleasant smile. As lie motioned her to a seat and assumed an expectant attitude in front of the book- case. the girl saw before her a young man. about five feet in height, but a well knit, powerful frame, and an intelligent head so held as to betray the owner’s independence and strength of character. His features, inclined to be sharp, though regular, and not unpleasing, bore a slight suggestion of the Jap. A high, broad forehead: bright, black eyes: a sensitive, aquiline nose: thin, firm-set lips: and a bull-dog chin.—all indicated in the man a fine in- tellect. a keen, observing mind, a strong, domi- nating will, and an instinct and ability to command and be obeyed. My name, the girl began, confidently, is Edna Larson. I am the daughter and only child of Cap- tain Larson, of Somerville, formerly of the United States coast survey. Last night he was brutally murdered by —her voice faltered, but she had good command of herself, and quickly continued— by an unknown man. My fiance. Arthur Talbot, of Arlington, has been arrested on suspicion. The evidence points to him. since he was the last to see my father alive, having called last evening and left rather abruptly after a few minutes of heated talk. To be sure he was on rather strained terms with my father, but 1 know his character too well to believe him guilty. I am positive everything can be rightly explained, so I have come to em- ploy you on the case. And she looked at Elvert with an expression of her beautiful eyes that would have melted the heart of the Sphinx. Eor once in his life. Morris Elvert appeared moved, but. true to his profession, merely replied: I shall certainly be glad to help you. Do you know at about what time the deed was committed? Just after one. we think. Front the upper sash of the window a small piece of glass was cut out. showing how the man entered: a clock which usually rests on a table beside the window had been thrown on the floor and had stopped at one. All. yes. Then, closing his desk, and taking his hat and an innocent looking steel cane from the corner, the little detective said: I think, if you don’t mind. I will take a look at the room now. W ill you accompany me? Yes. Thank you.” she replied. They left the room—which apparently locked itself upon Elvert’s exit—and started for Somerville. « Reaching their destination in due time, they were admitted by a tall. thin, pleasant looking man. whom Miss Larson introduced as Colonel Blois. a lodger in the house. He immediately took Elvert SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 15� in tow and led hint to the scene of the tragedy, while Miss Larson disappeared to other regions. ••This, announced Colonel lilois, as they en- tered a large, comfortably furnished room, was the Captain’s study. ( ff it. here to the left, is the room where he now lies, his sleeping apartment. Ah. yes. And now, Colonel, if you will kindly take this chair in order not to confuse the foot- marks 011 the carpet. As the Colonel sat down. Divert removed his coat and cuffs, and drawing out a large French compound microscope, proceeded to get down on his knees before the door and care- fully search the carpet for footprints. This Arthur Talbot?” he remarked. He called last evening, you say. Wearing a pair of number eight 'Walkover’ shoes with rubber heels?’' 1 believe so. replied Blois, somewhat surprised by this manner of getting to work. ‘‘Yes, he called about nine. 1 think to speak concerning his marriage with the Captain's daughter.” But the Captain didn’t favor his suit, eh? in- quired Divert, who had followed the almost invisi- ble marks across the floor. So I understand. But how did you know? “Oh. he paced up and down here quite excited, apparently discussing it hotly. “That’s right. He didn’t stay long, but they had some pretty plain talk, I judge from the sound.” Hello!” exclaimed Divert, pausing and staring at the carpet through his glass. Then in a lower tone. Number eight ‘Walkovers.’ but not rubber heels.” What? askcd the Colonel. Just a clue.” replied the detective, rising to look at the window. Ah. yes: he came in here, tipped over the clock in the dark.—and went—over— here. getting down and following the “track to the chamber door. Now let’s see his work. But wait. Taking out a tape measure he stretched it out in several places on the floor. Then he made some mental calculations and said: Well! Well! ! Yes. it must be. This grows more interesting.” In the next room lay the horrible handiwork of this inhuman murderer, whether Talbot or some- one else remained to be seen. I will not harrow my readers’ finer sensibilities with a description of the victim, but suffice it to say that the medical ex- aminer had pronounced the head crushed by a small club or similar weapoq. ’ Dear, dear! cried the d e(!

I am afraid you don’t under- stand my disjointed remarks.” I guess not. But I’m glad if you arc progress- ing favorably. Well, now there’s one thing more. I had al- most forgotten fingermarks. Dven fingermarks!” exclaimed the Colonel, “you detectives are sharper than I supposed. I’d never have thought of such a small point.” As the fingermarks of no two men are alike, it is a very large point. That is a man’s ineffaceable signature, it never changes,” replied the detective, glancing at the edge of the table, louching to it the palm of his hand, which curiously enough held a piece of extremely delicate impression wax. he passed to the window sill and did the same thing. There.” said he, 1 guess that’s all until I can see Talbot. Could you leave the room closed and not touch or move anything for awhile? 1 may wish to make another search for clues.” Certainly.” replied the other, genially. “We will be only too glad to leave the place alone, after the body is removed. Do you really think Talbot did it? It looks rather that way, doesn’t it?” You never can tell. returned the quiet little man. “until you find out.” ' Two days after his examination of the Captain’s room. Morris Divert was admitted to see Arthur Talbot in the latter’s cell at the House of Correc- tion. At his trial in Somerville probable cause” had been found and he was consigned to this place of confinement to await the next sitting of the Su- perior Court at East Cambridge. Ah! Good morning. Mr. Elvert.” said Talbot, rising from his hard bed. where he had been sit- ting. “I hear from Miss I-arson that you have been making quite rapid progress on this case.” “Yes: and 1 think I may close it up in a day or two if you will give me a little information on cer- tain topics. “I’m willing to do anything possible.” Well, in the first place, where did you go that night when you left the Captain?” I took an ’elevated’ car at the door and went di- rectly to Dorchester to a reception in honor of Mrs. Gournsley. who left for Europe yesterday.” How late did you stay?” asked the detective, fixing on the young man the cold, piercing gaze of his black eye. “Until twelve-thirty,” replied the other steadily. Then I went home to Arlington and fell into bed. In the morning I was arrested.” “You wore a pair of number eight ‘Walkovers’ all the evening? New shoes with rubber heels?” Yes. sir.” Have you another pair like those?” Yes, sir. But they are old ones without rubber heels.” “Where were they the night of the crime?” Under my bed at home I suppose, where I left them. answered Talbot, looking surprised. I suppose not. for at one o’clock thev were in the Captain's room: 1 saw their tracks.’ Well, so much for that. Next, you are not at all. or ever, left-handed, are you?” “No. sir.” Have you a revolver or pistol?” “Yes. sir. “What kind?” “A ’Smith and Wesson.’ thirty-two calibre.” Never had a forty-eight ’Police Colt,’ have you ? “Never saw one.” “Ah, yes! Well. I think that will be all now. SOM ER'V ILI .K R A DI ATO R «59 Good day, and the detective left abruptly, mutter- ing to himself: Looks rather dark. Perhaps I’d better make a more careful examination of the Captain’s rooms. That afternoon he appeared early at the Larson place, intending to make a most thorough search in the study and the bed-chamber. By mistake he opened the wrong door and entered the Colonel's room. Discovering his error, he was about to withdraw, when his eye caught sight of something that froze him in his tracks—metaphorically speak- ing. In the chiffonier was a large revolver in a holster and beside it were a bottle of oil and some sandpaper. Elvert reached it in a stride and took it up care- fully. Ah, yes! A 'Police Colt.' forty-eight cali- bre!” he murmured. Hut what’s he been doing with the oil and sandpaper? What! A red spot on the butt! Well! Well! ! I think I might like to keep that myself. He slipped it into his pocket and took a look about the room. His attention was next attracted by a pair of muddy shoes in the corner. Upon examination they proved to be a light pair of number eight W alkovers. consider- ably distorted and stretched out of shape by having been forced on too large a foot. Ah. yes! So this is where the other pair with- out rubber heels has turned up. eh? Well! Well! This really grows cpiite clear. On the uppers Elvert found several dirty finger- marks. Comparing these with those found in the Captain's room they tallied exactly with those on the window-sill, but not with those on the edge of the table, where, presumably, Talbot had stood that night, gripping the table tightly with his hands while he talked. Finding nothing else in the room to interest him, the detective stood rapt in thought for a few minutes and then left the house. In about an hour he came back and quietly spent the rest of the afternoon turning the Captain’s rooms inside out. Hut he wore a very lugubrious face. when, at five, the Colonel came in from Hos- ton. Well, what luck? asked the Colonel pleasantly. I have accidentally made one very important dis- covery. said Elvert. gravely, producing the big revolver. My gun! ejaculated the other. What has that to do with it? (iive it to me! He raised his great fist in the air and took a step forward: but only a step, for Elvert. with a deft twist of his hand, covered the enraged man with the weapon, and said calmly:— Don’t get flustered. Take a scat and let’s talk it over.” With that he drew from his pocket, as the other subsided, a little silver handled repeater, his own invention, and proceeded to load it. Your gun happens to be empty. he explained, laying his own upon his knee. Xow, then, where were you the night of the murder?” Soon after supper I went out. and-----” What for?” To make a call, muttered the Colonel savagely. After that I returned home and went to my room. You didn’t call at Mrs. Harland’s boarding house, Arlington, to get a pair of Talbot’s shoes, eh ? Blois appeared to look puzzled and hastily rum- pled up his hair—a favorite trick with him. Yes, you did. continued the man oi brains, and what’s more, you put on those shoes,—for a track to mislead the police, although, to be sure, it rained that night.—a little before one o’clock en- tered this window, went over to this other room, and brained the Captain with your big pistol! With a roar of rage, the murderer sprang upon Elvert. knocking away the repeater as he did so. Hut the detective—alert for some such onslaught— gathered all his reserve strength and quickly, dex- terously grasping the Colonel's throat and wrist and hooking a foot around his ankle, with a twist, a push, and a pull, he and his mighty antagonist crashed to the floor together, the smaller man on top. A grunt and a click, and the detective rose. He rearranged his rumpled collar and carefully smoothed the part of his hair, surveying the pros- trate form of the criminal, who lay prone, his wrists firmly handcuffed behind him. He then helped the Colonel to his feet and picked up the little repeater, fondly and tenderly. You may as well confess, mv man, said he sternly. I know all about it. How do you know? Oh. simple, simple! First. I knew that there had been two different pairs of number eight 'Walkovers’ in the room, one with and one without rubber heels. Also I noted the different lengths of their strides. Computing from these I found that one man was five feet ten—Talbot—and the other six feet, one—yourself. Secondly----’’ See here. broke in the prisoner, “have you a warrant for my arrest? Oh, certainly. replied Elvert. drawing it from his pocket. Secondly, your fingermarks on the window-sill, on the shoes, and on the Captain's hardwood floor, where you crouched before doing the deed, were entirely different, of course, from those left bv Talbot on the edge of the table. Thirdly, from the angle of the blow and certain other indications, I knew that the murderer was left-handed. You are. whereas Talbot is not. Fourthly, the wound, bleeding internally, miracu- lously preserved an impression of the butt of your gun. and I. after some puzzling, recognized the forty-eight calibre ‘Police Colt.’ So you see with this knowledge, a little tactful questioning, a fortu- nate and accidental discovery, and some logical de- duction. I have managed to understand the whole matter. To wit: On Talbot’s arrival here that night, you went to his rooms, gained entrance, and secured a pair of his shoes. Right?” The Colonel appeared unwilling to answer and remained silent for a moment. Then he slowly re- plied. Yes. All right. and seemed surprised when he had. i6o SOMKRVILLE RADIATOR Elvert laughed softly. Oh, yes,” he said. I practice a little hypnotism to get the truth some- times. Well then, about one a. m. you entered this room—I found this sandy hair of yours by the window—and did the deed. The next morning,— let's see. I was with you. Then the next afternoon, I presume, you tried to return Talbot's shoes but had to keep them on account of the police being in possession of his rooms. These shoes and your blood-stained revolver you very foolishly left out in plain sight, and 1. entering your room by mistake, noticed them and made my deductions from their presence there. But what was that paper you took from the secret drawer in the Captain’s desk? That, replied the Colonel, was a paper 1 saw several weeks ago. 1 got merely a glance at it as the Captain put it in his pocket, but I saw my real name on it. and knew it was a report of my present whereabouts and personality, to be handed to the proper authorities when the time came. 1 have tried ever since to get possession of it before that time arrived. Your object in murdering Captain Larson was merely to obtain that document? Yes. I have accomplished my end and de- stroyed it. only to be caught by you! Then what is your real name? The other hesitated a moment and then said: Since 1 must die for this anyway, it can do no good to preserve my incognito. I am Christopher. Duke of ----- the rest was whispered in Invert’s ear. The result was astonishing ; the usually calm, col- lected detective entirely lost control of himself, and turned white with amazement. He staggered back and caught hold of the table for support. Pardon me. your highness, if 1 put another pair of 'bracelets’ on you. So I've really caught the greatest criminal in Europe! I never suspected that, although 1 have had you on my mind ever since you were seen in Portland several years ago. But when you found you were recognized, why did you not ‘skip’? My dear sir. I could not again escape detection so completely. When this disguise and my pres- ence here were revealed, the secret service men of Czar Nicholas himself would be after me. not to mention the Cnited States officers and private de- tectives galore. So my fate was sealed unless I could get rid of both Larson and his papers without incurring suspicion. It was my only alternative, and I tried it. but---- But. finished the great little man. You reck- oned without ‘Morris Elvert, detective’! H Corner of £rror$ J6 Slice iHunnewell, X., '06 HERE, Mildred. I believe everything is peaceful and in its right mind at last. What with leaving the house unlocked, falling into a mud hole, and missing the train, not to mention minor details, such as neckties, shirts, collars, cuffs, etc., etc., being precipitated down the subway stairs by the inopportune break- ing of the lock on my suit-case, things look tran- quil for the next four hours. Here the speaker paused for lack of breath, and sank with a sigh into his Pullman chair. He was a tall, slender, athletic looking fellow. His clear- cut. refined face was flushed with exertion, and the brilliant brown eyes cast whimsical glances at the young woman beside him. The two were off on a pleasure trip. Mildred had been spending a few weeks with a friend at Winthrop. and Jack, though sleeping at home in Newton, got his meals in town. She was to meet him at the train, having come straight from the beach, leaving the packing of his suit-case entirely in his own hands for the first time in her life. Be- sides lie was to see that the house was securely fas- tened. Mrs. Lorimcr’s train arrived at seven twenty-five a. m.. and. consulting her watch, she found she had fifteen minutes to snare before her husband shou’d appear. Seeking the corner agreed upon in the waiting room, she opened a magazine and began to read. Twenty minutes of eight came and no Jack. Their train left for Bellows halls in twenty minutes. The hands of the clock marked forty-five minutes after the hour; still no Jack. What was she, to do! Stuffing the magazine into her traveling bag. she rose uncertainly to her feet, looked at the clock, and sat down again. It was ten minutes of eight. At five minutes of. she made up her mind. Jack rushed in late, glanced at the corner, saw his wife was not there, and made a dash for the train. “Mildred, probably realizing I should be late, has boarded the cars, trusting to fate that I shall get in on time. he thought as he ran for track No. 17. He had just a half a minute to spare and the gates were closing as lie sprinted down the platform. On the steps of the Pullman, far ahead, lie saw his wife; and. waving to her. he boarded one of the cars, as the train moved out of the station. He gulped hard two or three times during his progress towards the parlor car. For. to tell the truth. Mildred had been very loath to let him manage his side of the affair without her. knowing by past experiences his tendency towards never being ready, and he had determined to prove that he could be on time for once. Therefore he was a little shamefaced. Inn his wife met him with an affectionate squeeze of the hand and a smile on her face. She listened to his excuses for having missed the train in. and being obliged to use the electrics, with tender consideration. And so. hav- ing deposited their suit-cases, umbrellas, etc.. SOM ERVILLE RADI ATO R 6r in proper places, he uttered the words mentioned at the beginning of this story. It all began again at Concord,—he lost his hat out of the window and an incoming train bowled over it. “Never mind, honey, there is a cap in my suit-case, and as I shan't need it till I get to Mel- lows halls, I'll let it rest secure a while longer.” As they rolled into Fitchburg he arose and stretched himself. “Milly. dear, want some pop-corn? “No, thank you. Jack; but I would like a nap,-’ she answered plaintively. “Well, honey. I'll leave you for a while and go into the smoker. Mildred watched him walk down the aisle, and a proud look came into her eyes. How fond she was of her boy! Guess I will get a bag or two of pop-corn,” he mused, and eat some. That fellow does certainly carry the best I ever ate. Er—what time does this train go on. brakeman ? In four minutes, sir. said that obliging individ- ual. “Thanks. H'm—just time to buy some. So here goes. Why is it Fate plays in so heartless a manner with man and his plans? Turning from the vender of pop-corn he saw a train leaving, made a wild dash for it. and caught the railing of the last car. accidentally sending his purchases living into space. It happened to be the smoker, and entering, he sat down in a corner scat, and was soon buried in his newspaper and tobacco smoke. He did not look up when the train stopped, or hear the brakeman call Aver Junction”; but about five minutes later the door opened and a rasping voice announced:— This train express to Boston. Next stop will be Boston.” This time he did hear! “Ye gods and little fishes! Where am 1? A hasty survey of the country as it flashed by afforded him no satisfaction. Hey there, where am I going? he shouted to a brakeman as he reached the door. Aw. come off! How should I know, mister?” I mean where is this train bound for? This yer train is bound for Boston. and the brakeman walked off surlily. Oh—! and that remark caused the recording angel to draw a black mark against his name. What in the name of all get-out am I going to do? Where's that blamed conductor?” and he stamped angrily -down the aisle, then suddenly the useless- ness of his anger came over him and he saw the ridiculous side of his dilemma. “A quiet, peace- ful ride to Bellows Falls! Jack Lorimer, you're a Tartar! And vour p x r wife having a fit—by Jove! I told her I was going into the smoker and she won’t miss me for a long time.” Then the con- ductor came in sight. Say. conductor, will you kindly do me a favor. 1 got on the wrong train at Fitchburg. The Bel- lows halls was the one and—cr—well. I got twisted. My wife is on her. and I have simply got to tele- graph to her. Now can't you stop? What’s the next station we go by? Littleton,—well, won't you do it? We shall be there in a minute. Here, perhaps this will —and he stuffed a banknote into the man’s hand. The conductor, who had remained impassive and immovable at first, melted straightway (for who on God's green earth is impervious to graft?) and sent the signal for down brakes forward. The train slowed down, and Jack alighted some yards from the station. A moment later the station agent was startled by the appearance of a rather disheveled young man. who demanded a telegram pad. He leisurely passed one out, eyeing the stranger curi- ously. Here, send this, will you. right off. in order to catch the express from Fitchburg to Winchendon. It left there at nine fifteen. I believe.” and the pad was pushed back again. While getting communica- tion with Winchendon the agent read the message. It was addressed to Mrs. J. II. Lorimer. care of ex- press. etc. Got on wrong train at Fitchburg. At Little- ton. Wait for me at Winchendon. Will come on next train. “Jack.” Meanwhile what about Mrs. Jack? She had been left in the car, totally ignorant of her hus- band's mishap. Just before they reached Win- chendon she bethought herself of him. “What keeps him so long,” she murmured. I guess he has been the one to go to sleep. The train pulled into the station, and pulled out. Telegram for Mrs. Lorimer. cried the brake- man. She sprang to her feet and reached out a trembling hand. A gasp of dismay escaped her lips as she read it. This train express to Keene,” a sonorous voice interrupted her. Oh. dear. I must get off. Porter, will you find the conductor, please? A pause, during which she collected their traps, viz., two dress suitcases, the umbrellas, and her traveling bag. How was she to carry them? Where was that porter or the conductor, either? Nervously she looked at her watch. Ten minutes ticked slowly by. Finally he appeared. He listened to her tale of woe. Madam. I will see what I can do. I will let you off at Fitzwilliam. if I can. A few minutes later he reappeared and informed her to be ready at Fitzwilliam. She stepped into the waiting room of the little station and advanced towards the ticket window. Please send this message: Am at Fitzwil- liam. Will come to you on next train. ‘“Mildred ” lie received her message just as he boarded the train. The ticket agent and he had had a nice little chat together while Jack was waiting, and parted good friends. Her telegram had been thrust into his hands at the last moment, but he did not open it till comfortably ensconced in a scat, thinking it merely to announce her arrival in Win- chendon. When he did read it history docs not relate what he said under his breath. “Well. he soliloquized, she is on the way now. and it is no use to interfere until she reaches Little- ton. Then I'll telegraph and tell her I've gone on to Bellows Falls (I'd like to get in a ten-acre lot SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 162 and bellow) and for her to follow me. We stop at the Central Hotel. I guess,” and he subsided after this incoherent outburst and thrust his hands irv.o his pockets, breathing a sigh of relief to think he was at last headed in the right direction. Sud- denly his face became blank with consternation. “Where is my pocket-book? If I’ve left it in that store where I got the stale cheese and crackers these cars won't hold me. Further investigation proved fruitless; only a miscellaneous collection of keys, small change, and bits of string came to light. As I have before remarked I shall not re- peat what he said. Train and time sped on. They stopped at Keene, but Jack wisely refrained from alighting, sending his message‘to Mildred via the brakeman. The day was waning when Jack Lorimer left his hotel and started out to meet his wife. With what money he had left, he had purchased a hat. I wouldn't wear it to a dog fight at home. he mut- tered. Mope the train won't be late. We'll have a nice little dinner and then drive out in the suburbs as it promises to be a fine evening. Poor little girl, she’ll be all tired out, but the drive will do her good.” Alas for the “best laid plans o’ mice and men ! doing across the square he heard an agonizing cry. Turning, he perceived a little boy standing, para- lyzed with fright, in the middle of the place, and an automobile bearing down upon him. Quicker than it takes to write it Jack dashed for the little one. and seizing it around the waist sprang towards the curbing. His foot slipped on the wet paving, and he fell forward on to the sidewalk. Mildred!” and then everything grew black. 0 T he train had arrived and Mrs. Lorimer was picking up her things. Why doesn’t Jack come? lie said in his telegram he would meet me here. Vet I will wait a little longer.” Just then the con- ductor stepped up to her. Are you Mrs. J. H. Lorimer?” Yes. sir. she answered, surprised. There is a gentleman waiting for you outside,” he informed her. He picked up her suit-case and she followed him wondcringly. An elderly man with a kindly, pleas- ant face advanced. He nodded to the conductor, and spoke quietly to the girl. Mrs. Lorimer?” he queried. She bowed. I have something to tell you.—but first let me intro- duce myself. I am I)r. Ambrose of the Emergency hospital. 1 believe,” lie continued, in coming straight to the point, so will not parley. Your hus- band has been injured. Mildred grew pale and swayed slightly, but the doctor caught her arm. Calm yourself, mv dear madam. It is not seri- ous. ()nlv a few bruises on his head and a broken arm. He was carried to the hospital and regained consciousness very quickly. His first care was for you. and he worried a good deal. However, know- ing it would never do to have him excited to a high pitch, I promised to meet you. Poor Mildred was stunned. Her Jack hurt! It seemed impossible. She followed the doctor in silence. They drove away in his carriage. Slowly her composure returned. She must be strong and not give way so suddenly, and turning to her com- panion she thanked him impulsively. Xol at all. he said, as he helped her up the steps. Your husband will be all right. His splendid physique will pull him through. He led her along the hall and paused before a closed door. I'll leave your luggage down stairs. Mrs. Lorimer, and with a courtlv bow opened it for her. A rustle of silken skirts, a glad crv. and he smiled benignly as he tiptoed down the corridor. IDv. JBartev's lRcception An evening which will be long remembered by many was that of May 'i. when Dr. and Mrs. Lax- ter tendered to the graduating class their annual re- ception. at their residence, at Warren avenue. The first part of the evening was spent in looking over Mr. Laxter's superb collection of pictures, which includes the pictures of all the graduating classes from the first up to that of the present year. Many took pleasure in trying to find their fathers and mothers. The pictures of our respective teachers taken in the days gone by caused amuse- ment. A picture of the Latin School standing with nothing but rough fields surrounding it showed clearly that our Latin School was the only thing. The class was next brought back over its own four years of school life by the extremely interest- ing and well-written history which was written by Marion Goodwin Eaton and Gabriel Farrell. Jr. It was read by Miss Eaton, who performed the task in. a most creditable manner. To the delight of the class George Sargent, our excellent tenor, kindly consented to favor the class with one of his inimitable solos. Arthur C. Gow next displayed his ability as a poet, and the class followed his poem through to the end. It was one of the best ever written and showed great care and work on the part of the author. Now that the class had heard all the deeds of the past, they were anxious to learn of the future, and if some of the girls follow out the course prophecied for them bv Ruth W. Hills, the class will do its share towards advancing womanhood. Her paper was witty and well done. The futures of the lx ys were placed in the hands of II. Parker Lowell, and they were served in his usual style. Neverthe- less. the hits were enjoyed by all, and showed the wit of Lowell at its best. Misses Youngjohn and Ilunncwell rendered some choice selections on the piano during the evening. An elaborate collation was served during the evening, and at a late hour the class dispersed, not for the last, but almost the last time. SOM HR VILLE RADIATOR c DR. GEORGE L.

To his classmates he was known as a Grind, and he never indulged in any of their frivolous sports. 11 is Sophomore year was spent in deriving moral benefit by devouring the water-proof works of Cole- ridge and Goldsmith, and it was a coveted privilege for this knowing youth to translate forty-seven lines of Caesar at sight, with one eye shut.

The editor wishes to extend his thanks to those who have so kindly contributed notes for this col- umn. It is hoped that none of those whose names have appeared in this column this year have taken offence at what was said of them. Remarks made in the Radiator arc of a friendly nature, and not meant to cause offence. At last the time is here. Seniors, when we can see our diplomas within our reach, and we feel the joys of four years of High School rapidly drawing to a close. After this month has passed and we meet one another the first question we will ask is. “What are you doing? not What did you get in your last report ?” We leave school. Seniors, with the bountiful blessings of our Alma Mater showered upon us. and it is safe to say that we all feel a strong affec- tion for her. and will ever look upon her as a friend. Don’t forget to call next year, Seniors, and see how the school is progressing. I noticed K-lm—rtin is making his will. )ur deepest sympathy was extended to John Lakin in his recent illness; but we were glad to hear that the operation he underwent was success- ful. and we hope he may be able to return to school before graduation.

Have you as many photos as you wish? Keep on the straight and narrow path, Seniors, live a clean, upright life, and then your Alma Mater will never be ashamed to acknowledge you as hers. We will only be together a few days and then our paths will be quite varied. Three long cheers for 1906 and our clear old school. Good-by and good luck to all!

All Seniors who are at loss as to what to do with their pictures might bestow them upon the Junior editorial “bureau. If the cats should ever become too plentiful at 2 a. m. the pictures would undoubtedly serve to good advantage. Don’t all come at once, please! Who says Ireland doesn’t play baseball?

Peary’s a perfect dandy, Ali but his little feet. The class officers for the past year have been: President. Joseph Parant: vice-president. Ethel Ball: secretary, Frank Daley: and treasurer, Charles P. Hilliard. The Radiator representatives were William T. Henderson, Charles A. Johnson, and Edward H. Cameron. Hilliard is a firm believer in the proverb, A smile on the lips is worth two in the mind.” A few short weeks and those proud and dignified human beings called Seniors will leave us and our school to set forth upon life's perturbable journey. We regret deeply that you must leave us. Seniors, but rejoice in the fact that the jx sition which you have occupied during the past year will be ours to occupy during the coming year. Allow us. your successors, to wish you a happy and prosperous journey through life. We are glad to see that there has been some slight interest taken in class baseball this spring. The Juniors recently defeated the Seniors by a score of 11 to 7. Notice.—The unfortunate who took a set of three pictures from seat 7. room 32. would better hie to the distant sand hills, as Gladys is exceedingly wroth. We sincerely hope that it will be Mr. Avery’s pleasure to welcome back, as Seniors, next fall every member of the present Junior class. After having spent three years in this school it should be the absorbing ambition of every Junior to remain and receive his diploma. Several have brought to our notice the fact that there is still one Junior in short trousers. We hope X—rr—s will become a man in time to graduate. 169 ’OS Edwin H. Moore, Class Editor. Harland II.

Yet even through your fluted harmony There runs a note of sadness, fiercely keen; As o'er the mellow glow of after day A lonely raven, stealing towards its home. A shadow casts, a moving thread of gloom ; So through your chimes’ inspired caroling A strain disconsolate goes wandering. Till one doth wish that it might not have been. What brings us here to-night, united as a class? The habit of a thousand days, and memories That crowd and dance before our wond’ring eyes, Disclosing how this class of nineteen-six Was born, jostled amid the motley crowd. Before us stretched a region yet unknown. Without a thought we entered on the way, Mere Freshmen, gathered for the four-year course. With teachers near to show us where and how. Their lead we followed in a child's quick haste With erring steps ; upon the distant scene We bent our eager gaze. Before us lay ireen fields and cultivated farming lands. That merged into some wooded rolling hills. Then far away, like upward ladder steps. Rose hill on lull against the mountain range. Whose shining peak is raised to meet the sky. And thus we followed on ’mid leafy groves; Until at last we walked beside a stream Whose summer waters glittered tnrough the trees. Ten weeks we tarried there, and then did cross, Proceeding on our quest o'er hill and dale. Xor minding much the climb, so many sights And sounds delighted us along the way; We strayed to hear a cascade's muffled roar: )ft wandered up some brook with rod and line. We were a care-free lot that Sophomore year. The night had come; when, skirting 'round the shore. We built cur gleaming fires near the lake. There quite two months we stayed in sheer content. And lingered when our leaders called us on. Then sought the mountain range, with courage strong: Pressed onward o'er a belt of rising hills. Each height new gained, to see. beyond, vet more. So cn from top to top we struggled up To higher altitudes. Twas Junior year We turned the summit of the ridge—and there Before us rose the goal, unknown till then. Beside a cooling spring upon the slope Our tents were pitched; and through the summer months We rested, growing eager all the while To gain the mountain top and look beyond. The Senior year was really here at last. And standing on the ridge our gaze swept back Along the pleasant way that we had come. Below us were.the hills we just had crossed, A rolling woodland stretched behind these heights And slowly settled into sunlit plains. That edged the sky and disappeared in mist. But thoughts of grander views from mountain crest Rushed through our minds, and then we took the trail. The goal was nearly reached, yet sad we turned To search the thinning ranks for some we missed; Then on again, we strove to scale the peak. We stand upon the threshold of the world, To see our future destinies unfurled. At last the dewy mists begin to rise. The mighty panorama meets the skies. To greet the goddess of the dawn With awed and humble hearts we watch the morn: Great cities throb with power, before our eyes E'er mingling human greed with groans and cries, In scornful disregard of every need The people justly seek, yet vainly plead. ’Tis well a smoky film obscures the view. Or else discouraged by the sight of you— () breeders of the best and worst in man— We dare not look upon the rest, nor scan The little we've already seen; and yet Through future discord we shall not forget. Beyond the cities' smoke our vision sweeps ()‘er plains and forests, vales and mountain steeps. Amazed to find the vastness of the scene. The breeze springs up most cool, refreshing, keen. 'Till we forget the greatness of our task : And rising courage, as bubbling spirits in a cask. Again fills full our hearts with dauntless strength, To dare the world and. blindfold, all their length To try the roads where former men have trod. Though wearied by the plow, to turn the sod. And join the throng, urged on by fever heat ()f restless modern times. With eager feet Some here, some there, shall seek to win their fame; Some elsewhere, in the hills may carve their name. For each and everyone there'll be a way. And so it re ts with nineteen-six to say What Future has in store for us to-day. Then here’s to the dear old school upon the hill! We pledge our loyalty, as now we fill The cup. and pass the foaming bumper round. We drain again : our overflowing hearts are found Poured out in honor done to this our class. N et last, good fellowship doth claim our glass. Let this kind feeling rest with us for avc: Rejoice, don’t grieve, then simply say “Good-by.” SOM ERVILLE RADI ATOR ' The Oak. Visalia, Cal., remains near the head of our exchange list. Your stories are good and your poems are exceptionally interesting and well written. The Dean Megaphone for May contains a fine cut of the girls' basket ball team. The editorial, though of the same nature as all others, towards the close of the school term shows originality. Catastrophe in the Pennant is good. The quality of paper used for the Pennant is of the best. Our one suggestion would be an alumni column. It would be difficult for us to criticise the Quar- terly Tattler, Xew York. The stories and sketches are fine. You have a great variety of interesting articles, and appropriate and well-drawn cuts, making a neat appearance. We wish to congratulate the Oracle. Bangor, on its new cover. The other one was neat, but this one seems to us far more artistic. We are glad to welcome the Curtis High School Monthly.

We’ve arrived at the end of our High School career. How the years in their flight have gone by! Bringing knowledge to all, forming friendships so dear. Forming memories we'll keep till we die. First, as Freshmen, we gained a few victories grand, And poems a few there were writ: While the Sophs,” filled with ire, in the game took a hand, But Naught Six” did not ever sav, Quit!” Next, as Sophomores big” we some 'fun of our own 'Gainst the lambs of Naught Seven” did seek; But the one who rules all from his second-floor throne Bade his over-bold subjects be meek. Then, as Juniors we reached the full height of our fame. Ensconced at the top—above all; We essayed to add glory and fame to our name. E’er from our vantage point we should fall. Disappointed were we on returning to find That the rooms were not then as of yore; That the Seniors must study, indeed, almost grind. Since they dwelt on the principal’s floor. To the song of the trowel, the mortar, and brick, ()f the hammer and metal-tongued nail. Recitations we made as if walls had been thick, Nor did noise nor din make us fail. Now the goal has been gained, let us hope that our years Not in vain, idle pleasure we've spent. But let's show to the world that of her we've no fears. Since to Somerville High School we went. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 179 Somerville, 7; iDalOen, 2 Somerville High started its struggle for the senior intcrscholastic pennant in fine style Satur- day. May 12. by winning its first game of the series from the strong Malden high team. The game was played at the new Malden High School field. Malden, which put the Somerville team at a dis- advantage inasmuch as the field was far from being as good as Broadway field; the limits of the field were also much smaller, which is shown by the fact that Captain Twohig was able to get but two bases on his drive to the left-field fence. The play- ing of the team as a whole was good, while Cap- tain Twohig was easily a star, his four hits, two of them for two bases, coming just when they meant runs. His base-running was of the highest order, and in centre-field he played an errorless game, ac- cepting his only chance easily. The pitching of Nichols, with the exception of the first inning, was a feature. lie certainly showed his old-time form, striking out twelve men, and allowing but four hits and three bases on balls. His stick work was also first-class. Bowlby caught a fine game, his capture of two foul flies being fea- tures. while he assisted materially in a number of plays. Rice, at third, got two hits, and his catch of Elder’s foul in the seventh was of the grand- stand order. For Malden, Elder. Mather. Morton, and Porter played the best game, the latter striking out nine men. He was found for eleven hits, with a total of thirteen bases, however, and allowed three bases on balls. The game was close and exciting up to the ninth inning, the score being a tie until the sixth, when, as Nichols seemed to grow stronger. Porter seemed to weaken. With two men on bases and two strikes on him, Knight smashed out a two- bagger. Twohig, the next man, followed suit with bis second one. while Bowlby rapped out a pretty single, scoring Twohig. This ended the scoring, as Sharry flied out. The game was forfeited by Mal- den before played, as Elder, the crack second base- man, has been declared ineligible, for being over twenty-one.

The game was a sur- prise throughout, as the most optimistic fan thought that Somerville would have hard work to keep from being beaten. English High is said to have the best team she has been able to put for- ward for years, and her team is a good one. but Saturday’s defeat for her may be laid to just two causes, the batting streak of the home team, and over-confidence. Somerville’s playing was exactly the opposite of that displayed in the Brookline game, and they worked hard from start to finish. English high’s much talked-of pitchers, Mc- Laughlin and Bidwell, proved easy mark for the Somerville boys. McLaughlin being knocked out of the box in the seventh, while Bidwell. who suc- ceeded him. fared little better and was also very wild. Their infield was good, and there were many fierce liners, which looked good for hits, which they gathered in neatly. Brophy. behind the bat, showed himself a good little catcher, but his arm was not first class. For Somerville. Rice was easily the star. lie got three hits, two of them two-baggers, stole four bases, and scored twice. His steal home was of the sensational order. Great credit is due Nichols, who pitched the entire game, although he was sick be- fore it started. His pitching was fine. He allowed only six hits, and gave but three bases on balls, while he fanned five men. He also hit safely and scored. Captain Twohig played a good game, get- ting two twe-baggers and scoring. The rest of the team all played good ball. 4 The contest was very long, and at times was slow. It was also replete with errors. English high having eleven to her credit, and the local boys five. Murphy, of Harvard, umpired a good game. The score:— SOMERVILLE HIGH. ab. bh. po. a. e.

S., 4 Somerville High defeated Rindge on Broadway field. May 26, by the score of 8 to 4. The game was not nearly as one-sided as the game with Eng- lish high on the preceding Saturday, and Rindge showed a remarkable development since its game here on April 19. The game was far from being sensational, except in two or three instances, as the weather was hard on the boys, and took the snap out of their play. The Somerville team did not seem to exert itself to any great extent. Rindge's whole team played good ball. Sweeney, in centre field, showing up exceptionally well, making fine catches, while he hit safely and scored McKenzie and Clucas also put up good games, the' former getting two hits and the latter three. Nichols pitched for Somerville again, and. al- though he had plenty of speed, he was quite wild, but he steadied down when he came to the tight places and pulled through all right. He gave five bases on balls, allowed eight hits, and struck out three. Captain Twohig played his usual good game, except for missing a difficult flv in centre field. He got a two-bagger, and a three-bagger, and scored three of the eight runs. Bowlby caught a good game, considering the fact that he was in poor condition. Kilmartin brought the crowd to their feet bv his catches in left field. He had four put-outs to his credit. The features of the game were Rice’s three- bagger in the fourth and Knight’s home run to the training quarters followed by Twohig’s three- bagger. Knight received a great ovation, as his home run was only the third of the season. The Somerville team had five errors, two of which were muffed flies, while the wearers of the brown and white had but three black marks against them. Somerville scored in her half of the first, after she had pulled out of what looked like a very bad hole, for there were three men on bases when Sharry threw Thompson out at first. Twohig went to sec- ond base when Davis missed his third strike, and scored on Bowlby’s rap. Bowlby stole second and scored on McKenzie’s error. The red and blue added three more runs in the second. Kilmartin and Nichols were hit by the ball. Kilmartin scored on Knight’s out to Sweeney, and Nichols came in on Twohig’s two- bagger. and Twohig scored. Another run was added in the fourth, when Rice smashed out a three-bagger, and tallied on Kilmartin’s out. Rindge got two runs in the fifth on Twohig’s miss of Sweeney's fly. an out. and singles by Clucas and James. In the seventh. Knight drove out his home run. and Twohig his three-bagger, scoring on Bowlby’s out. This finished the local’s scoring. In the eighth Rindge made her last two runs on a base on balls, an out. and singles by McKenzie and Clucas. SOMERVILLE HIGH. ab. bh. po. a. e.

Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, with his wife and chauffeur and five little Fitzgeralds, every one wearing goggles of the most approved fashion to prevent taking Somerville's dust, caused a ripple of applause, which grew into quite a demon- stration as the mayor, with his boys, walked down the line and took seats on the Dorchester bench. The mavor's capacity for business was demon- strated by the eagerness with which he took up the cheering, coaxing out mighty huzzas from the throats of the Dorchester fans. Superintendent G. A. Southworth and Mead Master C. T. C. Whit- comb. of the English High, were among those who grasped the Boston mayor’s hand, and several members of the team had the opportunity of meet- ing the distinguished visitor. The Somerville cheering noticeably lacked leadership. The game was hard fought, and was marred only by erratic umpiring and cheap talk between the umpire and the bleachers. McLoughlin was way off on balls and strikes, and his manner of con- ducting himself was scarcely professional. There were rumors of a sera]) to come after the game, but no harm was done, although Sergeant 1 larmon and a corns of policemen were on hand in case of trouble. For the home team, the consistent play- ing of Bowlby was the feature, and he figured well both at the bat and by nailing men at second. Jimmy Nichols, too, is deserving of great com- mendation. his fielding being of the highest order. Owing to the decisions of the umpire, his pitching cannot be correctly judged. Both Sharry and Knight did themselves credit by their work in the field, and each contributed a run to the score. Two double plays by the boys of red and blue added in- terest to the contest. Clay's pitching was Dorchester’s strong card, with which she aspired to down the local bovs, but fate decided otherwise. Had he received the sup- port which was given his opponent, the result might have been different. SOMERVILLE. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

The year has been filled with social events given l y the Gcks : the scries of three gentians at An- thoinc’s Academy being the most prominent. These germans were given by the members of the fraternity, the giving of them being their first undertaking of consequence. They were more suc- cessful in every particular than the most confident had dared to hope. At the opening of the school year, the active members in school were: G. Bergen Reynolds, James Y. Xichols, Malcolm G. 1-illmore, Lester L. Graves. Edmund J. Twohig, Russell E. Freeman, Richard Keyes, and Seward '1'. Jarvis. Joseph W. Whittaker and Edward Beard, although not in school, are still active members. Since the beginning of the school year there have been many names added to the list previously men- tioned. On the first of December, 1905, the follow- ing candidates were taken to Lynnficld. there to undergo the final initiation, preparatory to becom- ing Gcks”: R. Archer Bowlby, Lawrence H. Bowlby, Herbert A. Coan. Herbert Henderson, William Henderson, and William Elliott. H. Parker Lowell was initiated at the following meet- ing three days later. In January, Robert Knight and Walter Gray, both of Latin. '06, were taken into the fraternity, the meeting being held at the home of William Elliott. Robert Xichols. brother of James Xichols. was taken into the fraternity as an honorary member, at the home of Joseph Whittaker. Mr. Xichols is the only one who has been honored thus far. One of the most enjoyable affairs the members participated in was the minstrel show in the base- ball concert. The greater part of the members and several people of outside talent were the partici- pants. The coaching of Robert Xichols was instru- mental to the success of the show. The affair was managed without a flaw, and was the most enjoy- able part of the programme. During the May vacation the fraternity members were the guests of Bergen Reynolds at Marble- head. With the members went also Frank Merrill, Herbert Jarvis. Nathaniel Rice, and John Scrivcn. These went as candidates, and along toward the latter part of the week were taken as full members into the fraternity; after a very interesting initia- tion. Every two weeks during the school year, on Monday evenings, the members of the fraternity have met at each other’s homes. In the absence of a fraternity house, this has been the only way oi getting all the brothers together. The meetings have everywhere been successful and much enjoyed by all the members. During the year, the fraternity has entertained several “Geks” from surrounding colleges. Most of these brothers have come from the West, where the fraternity was first founded, and where, at the present time, it is very strong. These have always been welcome, and have im- parted the real fraternal spirit to their junior fraters of Delta Zeta. On the evening of May 7, the members of Delta Zeta met at the home of Brother Beard. The meet- ing was a very enjoyable one, since the members had just arrived home from their week at Marble- head ; and all were feeling happy, and glad to be reunited. The early part of the evening was de- voted to a rather lengthy business meeting, after which a very enjoyable collation was served in the dining-room. The remaining part of the evening was spent in a social way, and after the customary attempt at singing had been made, the members disbanded. The last meeting of the year was held at the home of Brother Bergen Reynolds. All of the members were present. The fraternity entertained Brother Bowden of Theta Epsilon chapter, Yonkers, Xew York, now at Harvard. The business of the whole year was reviewed, re- ports read, and accepted. The finances were bal- anced and the treasurer's book turned over to the next year’s treasurer with a balance on hand. The remaining business was then settled, and the offi- cers for the coming year were elected and installed. Brother Bowden then addressed the fraternity for several minutes. His address was full of prac- tical advice, and was decidedly beneficial as well as interesting. The members then retired to the din-, ing-room. and were served with a very sumptuous repast, which was enjoyed by all. The members then enjoyed themselves until a late hour with songs, making the meeting a most enjoyable one. Then, with a hearty Gek cheer for Brother Rey- nolds. the last of the “Gek meetings was over for the year. The fraternity has undertaken much for an organization which is scarcely a year old. and may be highly complimented upon the way the business as well as the social part has terminated. The re- sult of the year’s work is most satisfactory, and the members have set a good example for those fol- lowing to copy. Delta Zeta. although next to the youngest chap- ter of the Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity, has made a start which should make the older chapters feel proud to acknowledge the members as their brothers. SOMERVILLE 186 TRPJv M£ v-r- 'o a vS. O.M. CLUB 5. o. ID. Club Three years ago this club was organized by eight charter members, and has steadily increased until it has the following twenty-one members: F. Carl- ton Gorman (president). Edwin A. Freeman (vice- president). i. Leo Bryan (secretary). Aaron B. Xovcs (treasurer), Leonard Y. Libbey, tClyde Scott. Frank R. Bradford, Harold R. Currier, Frederick Y. Cook. George F. Trenholm. Leslie S. W’igg'ti, Harrv Loftus. Walter H. McIntosh, Ralph M. Barstow. George II. Russ, Herbert P. Googins, J. Russell Pitman. Raymond Rich, Ar- thur Freeman, and Arthur Baker. Progress, socially and financially, has been the keynote of the S. (i. M. Club since its organization, %. S. 5. jfraternits The L. S. S. Fraternity was organ- ized in 1903, being established by the charter members, William Ring, Frederick Bowen, Lewis Stacey, George MeClennan, Arthur Reach, and Frank Man- ning. The first initiation was that of Elmer Houdlette, fol- lowed by that of Carl Ward and Ernest Rankin. By the will of God, during the second year of the club’s existence, their president, Frederick C. Bowen, was taken from them. Probably the most important social function of the year was the ladies' night, held in Flemming Hall in April. A dance was the feature of the evening; at intermission light refreshments were served. Those present were: McClenncn, Houd- lette. Manning, Rankin, Ward, Stacey, and Reach, and the Misses Manning. Emerson. Acker. Devlin, Rogers. Hutchins, and Miller. 'Hie “Frat’’ has held two dances, one at .Social Hall February 28, 1905, and one at Anthoine Academy February 20, and during the past year its success has been par- ticularly marked. A series of enjoyable sleigh rides, dancing parties, and banquets, a pleasant week at camp on the upper Charles, as successful a vaudeville show as has ever been presented by school boys all tended to build up the club during the past year, until now it is one of the strongest, largest, and best organized fraternities in the Eng- lish and Latin Schools. The pleasant year is to terminate in a banquet at a prominent Boston hotel the latter part of June. Originality has marked all the club’s efforts, and it can justly boast of being the only club in the schools having its own song, and also of the fact that one of its own members was the author and composer. 190 � . Both dances were a success, socially and financially. A basket ball team composed of the members has been an important feature. Most of the members of the fraternity will go into the business world in June. One member will go to college, and one enters the Senior class. The ‘ I-'rat has figured quite notably in the club notes of the Radiator, as it is the oldest society in the Senior class of the English School. At the first election, in 1903, Frederick Bowen was elected president: George McClennen. treas- urer: and Arthur Reach, secretary. At the second election. Frederick Bowen was again elected presi- dent: Arthur Reach, treasurer: and William Ring, secretary. At the third and last election. William Ring was elected president: Elmer Houdlette, treasurer: and George McClennen, secretary. The Frat ’ will organize again next fall, and hopes to have a very successful year. The members are: Elmer Houdlette, Frank Manning. George McClennen, William Ring, Ernest Rankin, Lewis Stacey, and Carl Ward. SO M E R VIL L I : R A DIA TO R jf. 1b. ip. jfraternftg Discontented because it was officially de- ceased, this widely-known secret society, which was so long the satellite of the Latin School, resurrected and re-united, that it might, as of yore, occupy a position of prominence among the various public occurrences in the June Radiator. The June Radiator is a souvenir number, and it is altogether fitting and proper that the old relics of bygone days should he dragged out from their positions of con- cealment and polished up for display purposes. As we believed so have we acted, and now, with our imposing emblem Haunting gaily before us. we will make the welkin resound with our reverberat- ing expressions of elation. Those who do not greet our return to the public eve with unrestrained gladness are not fully quali- fied to dwell in the same precinct with civilized peo- ple. Being synonymous with all that is omnipo- tent. stately, imposing, and pre-eminent in rank, the F. M. 1'. stoops to none. Wc are not the oldest club in the school, but we have a song of our own, a style of our own, and an organization of a pe- culiar originality characteristic of ourselves. We arc no ordinary collection of revelers, but, feeling our superiority to the ordinary societies, we have decided to tread in a path of our own selection. We step aside for nobody, doff our hats to nobody, except the fair sex, and hold nobody in awe. Both in darkness and dawn we have still continued our act of persistently following with the purpose of se- curing what little fame we have not already at- tained. We have done everything for the best, organized for the best, disorganized for the best, and came back to do a farewell ghost act. which we hope is for the best. Few are wise as to our identity, and those few know as much of our club life as they did before wc came into social existence. Secrecy is the flavoring of Interest. We re-entered the social whirl in order that those who desire may imbibe what benefit they may from the vitality of this notice. We did not fully realize how greatly the F. H. P. had exercised upon the public that influence that charms and captivates the barbaric breast; we did not realize how much en- joyment it had provided them; and although ab- sence causes the heart to be disposed to like or to regard with pleasure, we never indulged in the reverie that we should be missed as we were. Wc have issued forth from the crypt in which we were voluntarily entombed, and resume our place in the ranks of secret societies. Pride, not jealousy, lias moved us to act thus. Wc are proud of our name and of our members, and. above all. we are proud of our undefeated basket ball team. We said ourselves that we were dead, but not in spirit. The spirit of the F. H. P. will never die; it is enthroned in the hearts of men. it stands revealed to the eyes of those who read these lines, and is as imperishable as the spirit of ’? . We are experiencing the feelings of one on his eve of departure. We are about to dive gracefully into the chasm of oblivion, but our spirit will float forever in the atmosphere and will always remain an object of respect and adoration. --------------------------- 1IMM Hlpba The Phi Alpha Sorority of Latin School, 1906, has gracefully, though a trifle unwillingly, with- drawn before the Phi Alpha girls of 1 ! ;. The 1906 members are to be prided on the most successful year the club has yet had. Harmony has been always maintained, and frequent meetings at the different homes have been most thoroughly en- joyed,—especially so at BIT Highland avenue, the home of the president. Miss Wilson, where was held an unusually attractive Valentine party, attractive enough to retain the lingering guests of the even- ing into the wee sma’ hours of February 15. The profound success of the Phi Alpha dance, April in. at Anthoine's, was evident to all who at- tended. The hall was charmingly decorated with green and white, the club colors, chrysanthemums, the club flower, and hundreds of Japanese lanterns. 'Fhc event was honored by Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Fos- dick, Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Marden. and Miss Cald- well as matrons. Mr. Poole and his orchestra rendered delightful music. 'Hie club members were easily distinguished by their green and white streamers, tastefully arranged on the left wrist. As to the financial success of the dance, a theatre partt- is now being planned on the proceeds! The week before the May vacation there was a certain amount of subdued curiosity among the girls of the Junior class, but on Friday morning they were respectively delighted or disappointed if they found a dainty little note (or not) in their desks. The week after vacation the lucky six were gently but firmly taken into the club, and at 188 SOM ERV ILLE RADI ATOR the final initiation were sworn in by the sign of the hexagon. After all the formalities (?) of this, the private initiation, the new girls were royally feasted bv the old girls. Now the .Misses Hallett, Foote, Sturtevant, Crane, Hanscom, and Kimball have taken the places of the Misses Wilson, Marden. Whitney, Fosdick, McDonald, and Bruce. The former enterprising girls have already had a meeting and elected for their officers: President. Miss Foote; secretary, Miss Crane; and treasurer. Miss Hallett. ------------------------------- G. H. V. Although not an old club, the G. A. V. is surely the best-known society in the Sophomore class of the Latin School, although two of its members are members of the same class in the English School, and the young ladies who constitute the member- ship feel proud of their year’s work. The meetings were held every fortnight when possible. The first was at the home of Alice Sav- age on October !). and it was then that the society was organized. The following officers were chosen and have served with credit: President, Alice Savage; vice-president. Helen Stearns; secretary, Mac Scaver; treasurer, Mildred Pease. Each member has entertained the club twice, the last meeting of the season being held at the home of Miss Pease on June G, and was an appropriate termination of an enjoyable year. By far the crowning feature of the career of the G. A. V. was the Valentine party which it gave on the evening of February 14. One member has re- signed since the club started, but the club now in- cludes May Bartlett, Bessie Cobb. Cora Hicks, Mildred Pease. Marion Richie, Alice Savage, Mae Seaver, Helen Stearns, and Bertha Stockwell. --------------------------------------- Cau iDelta Cbeta The Tau Delta Theta was formed at the begin- ning of the new year among the Latin. 1907. girls. The club enjoyed a costume party, and a house-party during the May vacation. In addi- tion. meetings have been held fortnightlv. The officers arc: President, Miss Ruth Conover: vice- president and treasurer. Miss Irene Floyd, and sec- retary, Miss Gladys Wcissbach. The club looks forward to a more brilliant career next year. --------------------------------------- XU. %. ID. Club The W. L. M. Club has just completed its third successful social year. Tn that time many success- ful dances have been given, as well as other original entertainments. During the coming vacation the girls will spend a week in Cottage City, under the chaperonage of Mrs. Carroll. The present membership is: Miss Eva Clement, president: Miss Ruth Bidwcll, vice-president; Miss Marion Van Wart, secretary: Miss Claire Millette. treasurer: Misses Marguerite Eldridgc, Jessie Parker, Eva Durcll, Beatrice Ryder.

On June 2. the boys of red and blue won their fifth straight victory in the Interscholastic league contest, and placed themselves well in the lead for championship honors by defeating Malden a sec- ond time to the tune of 7 to 0. The only check to the interest in the game occurred in the eighth inn- ing. when Bowlby split the index finger of his right hand, thus forcing him to give way to Kilmartin for the remainder of the game. Holland pitched a better game than Somerville has played before this season. He gave no bases on balls, allowed but one hit, and fanned ten men. Roy Young was the real hero of the game, for although he had no opportunity to distinguish him- self in right garden, he was right on deck with his little “willow wand,” and led the team witli three hits.
