92 THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S The Somerville High Schools have recent’v added another musical success to their already long record. A selected chorus of one hundred voices from among the members of the High Schools successfully rendered the “Children’s Chorus in the Children’s Crusade, which was pro- duced for the second time in America on Febru- ary 20, in Symphony Ilall, by the Cecilia Society, Mr. Lang, conductor. The extremely difficult music, which is well worthy of the most earnest efforts of professionals, was sung in such a masterly and pleasing manner that it was hard to believe that the performers were actually amateurs. The chorus throughout showed clearly the results of such careful and conscientious instruction as Mr. Hadley alone can give. » Recent advices from former Editor-in-Chief Parker Lowell inform us of his successful entrance into the Freshman class of the Northwestern Uni- versity. Mr. Lowell is evidently reaping the benefit of his literary work on the Radiator, as his play written in competition for the Freshman drama- tics, was the one selected by the judges for pres- entation. lie is rapidly becoming an enthusias- tic Westerner, but retains a‘ lively interest in the Somerville High Schools and especially in the Radiator. . The universal commemoration of the centennial of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's birth was in- deed a fit memorial to the dead. No poet or au- thor of any age can occupy a larger place in the affections of a people than docs Longfellow in the affections of America, and no man can be more worthy of such devotion. A man in every sense of the word, honest, up- right, simple, and unassuming, is it strange that he is so dear to us Americans? One verse from his poem, “A Psalm of Life,” divulges, we believe, the secret of his grand suc- cess :— “Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.” K On February 10 Captain Sharry issued a call for battery candidates and the result is most en- couraging. There is apparently plenty of good material from which to select, and the outlook for a championship nine is by no means dark. Optimism must not be too prevalent, however, amongst the players and followers, as our disap- pointment of last fall was greatly augmented by the unlimited confidence which we had placed in the team, and it is quite possible that the defeat was due to over-confidence on the part of the team itself. Let our battle cry this spring be “Victory.” 1 The presidents of the various classes are con- tinually complaining of a deplorably small at- tendance at class meetings. It is a true, but regrettable, fact that the vast ma- jority take absolutely no active part in class affairs. The non-attendants plead that “a few are running the class,’’ and in most cases this holds trpe and will hold true as long as the majority stand aside and let them. These few. however, have learned the primary lesson of good citizenship and are cast- ing a vote whenever it is possible, a privilege which evidently is only appreciated by a few. . r We regret to announce the resignation of Wal- ter H. Pilcher, class editor of the Sophomore class of the English School. K . Owing to the kindness of the Athletic Associa- tion and Mr. Jordan of the Jordan Studio, we are able to present as a frontispiece a reproduction of the 1000 football team.
