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.
