4 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR The Radiator Staff regrets that, owing tocauses for which it is in no way responsible, it has been unable to publish the October number. We pro- pose to make every effort this year to increase the receipts and to diminish the running expenses, so far as can be done without interfering with the lit- erary value of the paper. If our readers miss some of the artistic accessories of former days, they must bear in mind that calico and homespun for which the wearer has paid is a better dress than silk and broadcloth for which the wearer must inn into debt. it it it it Salutatory In the June number our predecessors gracefully spoke of, “resigning the management of the Radiator to other and worthier Jjands.” .. We.ap- preciate the kindness of this intrrfdijfctp N, re- make our editorial bow with much embarrassment; for more and more we begm to -rc life c Ute magni- tude of the task that has been-thrust itp'On n g and our own lack of preparation for the work. This much, however, we may modestly say: It will be our earnest and untiring endeavor to maintain the high standard that has been handed down to us from previous years. We wish to urge at the out- set that our efforts in this direction are doomed to failure if we are not loyally supported by our fellow- students. All can subscribe to the Radiator, and thus insure its financial success, and very many can write for it, and thus insure that wealth of material that alone will allow of proper selection. Without much material there can be no selection, and with- out careful selection we cannot have a superior paper. K It It K Oreetinos To the members of the class of 1911 we extend a most hearty welcome. You arc now entering upon a new era in your life,—one which is full of grand opportunities for both pleasure and profitable upbuilding, and at the same time one in which your path is liable to be beset with snares. In the high school you find an individual freedom to which you .were a stranger in the grammar school. Do not -■jnis'take that freedom for leisure. Here you begin to substitute the restraints of society and morality ; dor the arbitrary restraints of the teacher. Until You have learned to make this substitution you arc not fit to be turned loose upon the world. Do you want to have a good time? Then do your whole duty in your studies, on the athletic field, and in the social life and general interests of the school. You will tiien have many pleasant things to remember; if you spend all your time trying to have a good time, you will remember many things with regret. Why should we spend all our time in studying
