It is with no slight appreciation of the work be- fore us that we assume our respective duties, for we realize that to uphold the high standard set by last year's staff is a task that will require our ut- most efforts. From our predecessors, however, we have received many invaluable suggestions, and we wish to thank them, individually and col- lectively. for the assistance they have thus ren- dered. It shall be our endeavor, by strengthen- ing those departments which in the past have been weak, to present a paper of all-round excellence: one that shall each month contain at least some one thing of interest to everybody. In short, we aim to make Volume XIX. of the Radi atom a publication which shall meet with the approval of the most critical reader. But we alone cannot hope to do this; we need the willing and active co-operation of the entire student body; not of one division, but of every division; not of one class, but of every class; not of one school, but of each school. Let us explain what we mean by active co- operation. The average reader thinks that lie is doing enough for the Radiatok by merely sub- scribing to it (as a matter of fact, he is doing more than the majority of his classmates), but that is not enough. Me must do something more.-—he must write for it. If story-writing is not in his line, let him submit a communication to the Letter-Box, expressing his views about some sub- ject of school interest; or let him assist the alumni editor of his school by occasionally passing in a note concerning a graduate friend (it is impossible for the alumni editors to cover the doings of the now vast army of Somerville High graduates); or. finally (and here is a way in which every one can help), write class notes. It is no easy matter for one or two persons to present each month an interesting column of notes which represent the whole class, 'l et this is what the class editor of the past has had to do, and unless a radical change takes place, his work in the future will be similarly difficult. li our readers will take these suggestions to heart, we feel that our fondest ambitions may be realized; then, and not until then, can the Radiatok hope to become a real success, a radiator in the literal sense of the word,—a radiator of pleasure, wit. and knowledge. 8� V. t The Radiatok, after a lapse of three short months, greets its old readers once more, and ex- tends to them its best wishes for a pleasant and profitable school year. But especially does it wel- come its new friends, the Ereshmen. They are entering upon a most critical period, for this year traits of character will be formed which will cling to them through life, guiding them to the road to Success, or dragging them to the path of Failure, as the case may be. Look to it well. then. Fresh- men. that during these four years you make the most of your opportunities. They will present themselves but once, so grasp them while they are within your reach. There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads oil to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 The High School Orchestra, which was organ- ized only a few years ago, is continuing its exist- ence with an increased show of enthusiasm. An unusually large number of candidates presented themselves, and. from the musical talent thus far shown, indications point to a successful season. The orchestra will play at all indoor functions, its first appearance being at the reception to parents of new pupils at the English School, Wednesday evening. November IT. It is the intention of the management to furnish music at the football and baseball games, also, but this will be impossible without more wind instruments, which at present arc scarce. Therefore, if you can play the cornet, trombone, or fife, you should hand your name to either Stanley R. Kingman. Latin School. ‘10. or Charles Berg. English School, ‘10. who are acting respectively as manager and leader of the or- chestra. Girls are not excluded. Xuf sed! r � tr The attention of our readers is called to the treasurer’s report in this number. This account, so carefully itemized, reminds us of the great work which Mr. Hosmer is doing for the Radiator. and we take this opportunity to oflfer him our sinccrest gratitude. The report also reflects great credit on last year's business manager and his assistants, who, bv their combined efforts, have placed the Radiator on a firm financial basis, and have made it what it is to-day,—a paying proposition. K. As the days grow shorter (and our lessons longer, by the way), we begin to realize that the football season has not only arrived, but is already half gone. The preliminary practice games are a thing of the past, and the men are now receiving those finishing touches in team play which are so essential to ultimate success. The important, and therefore the most interesting, games of the sea- son arc now before us. Will the Red and Blue win the championship: The answer to this ques- tion, which is a vital one to every loyal son of Somerville High, depends largely upon the results of the three league games yet to be played; and the showing of our team in these contests will, in turn, be in no small measure affected by the sup- port received from and by the student body. Coach Dickinson, Manager Pales, and Captain I'org are working hard for the team, and they de- serve success. Let's all turn out and cheer the team on to victory ! K . ¥L Speaking of football, don’t fail to make ar- rangements for attending the R. M. T. S. game on Thanksgiving Day morning. Rindge is Somer- ville’s greatest rival, and when the two teams come together for their annual struggle, the larg- est crowd of the season is in attendance to give vent to its enthusiasm. A suggestion: Take her” to the game. r � We announce with regret the resignation of Miss Mabel E. Bowker. teacher of history in the Latin School. She leaves to assume a similar position in the Practical Arts High School. Bos- ton. In her new undertaking Miss Bowker has the best wishes of her former pupils, who found her at all times a willing and conscientious worker. r r The pupils of the English School much regret the resignations of their sub-masters, Mr. Earle and Mr. Abbott, who have been for several years members of the faculty, and were esteemed by all. Both have left to accept higher positions, princi- palships in neighboring high schools. Mr. Earle is at Hyde Park, and Mr. Abbott is at Danvers. Here is success to them! � r wi On another page of this issue (see frontispiece) may be found brief accounts of our new teachers, both of the Latin and English Schools. We ex- tend to them one and all a most cordial welcome, r r r NOTICE. All material for the Radiatok, including stories, club and fraternity notes, etc., must be in the hands of the editor on or before the tenth of the month in which it is to appear. 6 SC MERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ©ur IFlew tleacbers Xatin School Albert Dickinson, who is teaching: a little in the Latin School, in addition to coaching the foot- ball team, is a product of Somerville and of Som- erville schools, lie received his early education in the Morse Grammar School, class of 1S99. Mr. Dickinson then entered the Latin School, where lie made an enviable record, both as an athlete and as a student. Graduating in 1903, he entered Brown University, from which institution he was graduated with the class of 1907. During his col- lege course Mr. Dickinson continued his activity in athletics. He played four years on the ’Varsity baseball team at second base, one year on the basket ball team, and part of a season with the 'Varsity football squad. He was a member of the I’hi Delta Theta Fraternity. Since gradua- tion Mr. Dickinson has spent two years in the Harvard Graduate School, specializing in history. Me has also taught two years in the Cambridge Lvening School, and last summer was physical director of the Lincoln Park playground. Mr. Dickinson is already well known to the followers of Somerville High sports, through his connection with the school baseball and basket ball teams of recent years. Natalie Atkinson Smith was elected last June, finishing out the year as head of the Knglish de- partment. in place of Miss Hall, who left to as- sume a similar position in Mechanic Arts High School, Boston. Miss Smith was born in North Adams. Mass., and received her early education there, being graduated from Drury High School in 1900. She next entered W ellesley, from which college she was graduated with the class of 1904. During her college course Miss Smith was active in many forms of student life, being asso- ciate editor of the Wellesley Monthly, and on the editing board of the Weekly News and the Legenda, the latter a year book. She was also ac- corded the honor of representing her class on Tree Day as the orator of the occasion. Since graduation Miss Smith has taught exclusively in Reading High School, where for four years she was head of the English department, the position she now holds in the Latin School. £noUsb School Roy W. Hatch, who is now teaching history, was born in Marshfield. lie attended the high school in that town, and also the Everett High School, where he was elected president of his class. At his Commencement in 1902 at Dart- mouth College he was chosen to present the class gift, lie later did special work at Harvard. He has taught in several cities, and comes to us from the sub-mastership of the Lexington High School. Stephen Wright, born in Glcnvillc, Conn., was educated in the Cranston High School, and re- ceived the degrees of Ph.B. and A. M. from Brown University. He held a position in the English High School at Providence. R. I., and was principal at the Essex High School. Massachu- setts. before coming to us. Mr. Wright is now teaching mathematics and German. Miss Cara Dillingham is substituting for us dur- ing Miss Pushee's absence abroad. She was born in Honolulu. Hawaiian Islands, but was educated at the Worcester High School and at Mt. Holyoke College. She has taught in Petersham and Graf- ton. and is teaching French and German for us. Two other new members of the staff are Frank A. Scott and Augustus B. Tripp. The former is taking Mr. Poor's place in the physics department. He came from New South Berlin. N. V., and re- ceived his early education in the Connecticut Lit- erary Institution. In ISO? he was graduated from the Peddie Institution. New Jersey, and from Harvard in 1903. He has held positions in Shef- field and New Britain. Conn., and in Holliston and Scituate, Mass. Mr. Tripp, who is well known to us all. is giving very efficient assistance in the science depart- ments. He was graduated from our school in 1 !)() . and at the annual Ivy exercises was class orator. While still a student, he gave a very prac- tical and instructive lecture on Wireless Teleg- raphy. He was an assistant for a year in the laboratories, and then went to Tufts College. At the close of his second year, however, he has again returned to our school, and received a hearty welcome from all. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 Mben (Pirls Stuiw c 3Bv? lOarouerite Stevens, X., TO vO HERE, that s done! Grace Havward folded her theme and affixed her sig- nature with a grand flourish. “For four score days and ten. site para- phrased, that detestable comp lias been on my mind. Probably lie won't take it now. anyway, because it is so long overdue. l’� ut I’ll have the satisfaction of know- ing 1 wrote it. after all. And what a subject to write on—‘The Growth of My Vocabulary.' I hope he will find it comprehensive enough, for I started with the first 'Alt goo’ I ever uttered, and filled in with everything I could think of up to the last word I learned. And what was that? inquired her chum, who had come to spend the afternoon studying with her. Well. 1 suppose I might as well tell you. for I am really proud of the fact that 1 know it. 1 lie latest addition to my vocabulary is ennui, which is French, and means dullness, or something of the kind. I've known that word for a long time, but never dared risk it in my conversation, for the pronunciation had me floored. Even yet I feel rather nervous for fear I won’t say it right—but listen to this. You see. 1 thought I'd get in a little practice, and at the same time air a little of my superior knowledge, so I said to Marie: T am simply dying of on-wee. ’ She laughed, and said: ‘Who is it?’ W hen I told her what ‘on-wee’ meant, she told me that I was thinking of ‘cn-nu- wec.’ Xow. what do you know? I’m going to learn some more of those as soon as I can say that one without feeling foolish. Put what is there to do this afternoon? Give me a rest, and you say something brilliant for a change.” Of course there is Latin and German, but we must do the English first, because it comes first period to-morrow.” All right. W’liat is the lesson? Oh. I know— to finish the second act of ‘Macbeth.’ That sure is a tragedy. I don't blame Duncan and Panquo for haunting him. I'd haunt him myself if 1 could. asn’t there something to memorize? Marian turned to her notebook. Yes, there was,” she answered. We were to learn that soliloquy of Macbeth’s sweet and lovely wife at the beginning of the fifth scene in the first act. She must have been an angelic creature it have in the family. Talk about an exaggerated ego! I low about Lady Macbeth? I 've learned some of that—listen and see if 1 can get through it:— ”‘Glamis thou art. and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promised; yet do 1 fear thy nature'; ‘“Yet do I fear!' What comes next? Oh, I remember:— It is too full of the milk o’ human kindness.’ Isn't that right? What’s the matter with it? Laughing, Grace told her that she had put the of in the place of the o, and likewise the o where the of belonged. Oh. 'deed, what difference does that make? The professor will think I've had a change of heart if I get it all correct. 1 don’t see why there is an ‘o’ and an ‘of’ in the same sentence, anyway. Shakespeare maybe knew what he meant, though, even ii we don’t. What comes next?” ” 'To catch the nearest way.' gaily quoted (iracc. Oh. I know all that. How does that start about ‘Thus thou must do’? There, that’s where I mean:— ‘Thou’d’st have, great Glamis, That which cries, Thus thou must do, if thou have it. ’ Honestly, that’s just the way the ‘prof' talks about my diploma—’Thus thou must do, if thou have it.' He should have a Shakespearean motto like that hung in every room. I sure wish they had told me a few things when I was a Freshman, young and foolish. If only some good friend had said: 'Thus thou must do!' I would never have let some of the things slide, and now. instead of being a ‘sassy’ Sophomore. I would be a sedate and rev- erend Senior. Can you imagine it? Two years more for me yet! ‘Hie thee hither. That I may pour my spirits in thine car.’ No. dear. I'm not talking to you, I'm reciting— with expression. Wouldn't it warm the cockles 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR of his heart to hear me declaiming tlnis-wise? Sounds good, doesn’t it ? “ ‘1 lie thee hither. That 1 may pour my spirits in thine ear.’ 1 don’t think the school hoard ought to allow the scholars to learn passages about ‘pouring spirits’ in a no-license town like this, but then. 1 suppose it is all right, since she is going to pour them into his car. That must be one of the times when circumstances alter cases. Oh. girls! Oh, girls! Here is another word for your vocabulary. Listen to what the im- mortal says:— ‘Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crown’d withal.’ Metaphysical! That’s a good word—suggests something spooky at the first glance. We'll see what X'oah says about it. Ah! here it is—per- taining to metaphysics. Now, who ever would have thought it? Hut it says below that in the time of Shakespeare it meant supernatural, al- though that meaning is now obsolete. Well. 1 can’t bother any more with Lady Macbeth. She seems t«► have done all her raving before the mur- der—just like a woman. What are you doing? Latin! That reminds me! I knew absolutely nothing about the advance in Latin to-dav. and Miss Sherwood certainly did give me a scare. She asked if any of us were un- prepared. and I didn’t raise my hand, for I was taking a chance on being called on for review translation. 'Phe suspense nearly finished me. At last she called me, but just as 1 got ready for the fatal plunge, and the cold chills began to play tag around my backbone, she told me that I needn't translate, as I had done an extra long pas- sage a couple of days before. Glad? Well, rather! That’s what reputation does for you! I think this has been a lucky day for me all around. 1 got by in Latin, and excused from the examinations in ‘math.’ and had my division changed so that I could be with you. Xow. if you will bring forth the wherewithal I'll try my luck at penuchi. I’ll warn you. though, before it is too late. My last two attempts had to be eaten with a spoon, but if you'll risk it. 1 will. I want to try a new way—warranted to make it nice and creamy —money back if you’re not satisfied. Is that the clock striking? hive o’clock? It can’t be! Well, we’ll have the penuchi party some other day. And just think of the German waiting to be done! I have a study period for that, though, to-morrow. But 1 never can study on Friday, for Dick and Harry sit on each side of me. and talk steady all through the period without any let-up. Dick is a comical fellow, but he will simply have to keep quiet todnorrow. or there will be war in camp. My cousins are coming out to-night to play bridge, so I am positive I won’t get another minute to study except at school. I do wish you could come over this evening. If you do. we will teach you how to play bridge and make you a fiend like the rest of us. “Here comes your postman! Lucky girl! I am expecting a letter this afternoon myself. Well. I nn'st hustle home or I won't get any din- ner. Thanks awfully for helping me with that soliloquy. I’ll call for you in the morning early. Do try to be ready by S o’clock. Auf Wieder- sehen!

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 Sapphire of Jebabat JG ? i£C Gar X. lkaula, a „ T2 BOUT five years after the Sepoy Re- bellion, I was stationed at Travan- corc in the extreme southern part of the Hindustan peninsula. A dear friend of mine, Jack Hartwell, a lieu- tenant of engineers, had but lately returned from the bill country, bringing with him a glorious sftpphire, which he presented to me. The stone was mysteriously engraved with Indian hieroglyphics, and in the centre was inlaid a small, but brilliant, diamond. My friend knew nothing of the history of the jewel, saying he had obtained it from a wayside beggar, who claimed to have picked it from the road, evidently little knowing its value. About a week after my friend had left I went for a stroll one evening, taking the stone with me. as 1 meant to stop at the home of a prominent jeweler of the town, who lived some distance in the country, and inquire the value of my precious gift. 1 took with me a heavy walking stick, as I had heard tales of dacoits in the neighborhood. The intense darkness of the tropics was fast closing in as 1 returned from the jeweler's home. My road lay through a grove of bamboo, and as a storm was brewing. 1 hastened forward. By the time 1 reached the grove I could hardly see a rod ahead of me, and, wishing to leave this dismal strip behind, I began to run at a smart pace. 1 had scarcely gone a stone’s throw, when I was tripped and thrown by some unseen object. I at- tempted to rise, but strong hands grasped me, and I was hastily bound, gagged, and blindfolded. My captors carried me a short way, and I was set £ elta fl st The Delta Psi is for the most part composed of Latin School pupils. The club, owing to previous successes, will endeavor to give several entertain- ments during the coming year. At an annual election the following officers were chosen: Presi- dent. Putney.

Application for admission should be made to Ar- thur Tellier, '10, assistant secretary and treasurer. down, the bandage removed, and I found myself lying by a camp fire. Instead of the thieves I had expected to see. I was surprised to find I had been seized by six fierce, tall hillmen. One especially gigantic fellow, with a close-clipped beard, ad- dressed me in fluent English. “Sahib, said he, drawing a murderous-looking knife from his cummerbund, “you have upon your person a marvelous jewel, and I will not harm a hair of your head if you will but surrender it to me. lie gave a command in some northern tongue which I could not understand, at which one of the hillmen knelt by me, and, searching my pockets, soon produced the stone. Xo sooner had he opened the case in which it lav and handed it to the leader, than all of the Hindus salaamed to the ground. The leader again spoke. Sahib. he said, “this stone was stolen six years ago, during the uprising, from the Temple of Jehabat. 1 have made a vow with these five of my countrymen to recover the jewel, and now my search is o'er. My bonds were loosened, and I was placed once more upon the road to search my way homeward. I had often heard of the holy jewels of the Hindus, and how devotees would spend a lifetime in recov- ering them, if by any chance they were lost or stolen. A few years later I visited Jehabat, and beheld my jewel blazing brightly in the girdle of a Hindu priest. My former captor saw me. and, coming forward, cordially greeted me. but I am sure that any movement on my part to recover the jewel would have been my last. IResolution Whereas, by the divine will of God. our class- mate. Hazel B.

We would give that play in the Town Hall. We had done something like that every preceding summer spent in Westgate, so win shouldn t we this time, and make it just a little hit bet- ter than the previous times? )f course we real- ized fully that before we had had no scenery, and that we needed it now in order to make our scheme complete. But why should we be dis- turbed on that account? W'e could obtain it the last day. if necessary to wait that long. The only things to trouble us now were the rehearsing and the bother about our costumes. There were twelve in our party, and they all en- tered into the plans with great animation. The townspeople looked forward eagerly to the per- formance. as they did to everything held in the Town Hall. The day before the great event we went up to Mr. Luttrel's house and asked him if he would attend to the business for us. He was a cross man. and very lazy, but he was the only person who owned any fittings. The only satisfaction obtained from him was this:— You young creatures don’t know much, do you? You need to be taught a lesson for leaving things until the last minute. Well. and he squinted one eye, as if he were occupied in serious thought, if you want them duds, you’d best drive to Berley just about as fast as that old nag Floss will take you. I sent my man over there with them. It is only seven miles, and you might over- take him if you hurry, but let me tell you. it won't do you any good standing there a-gawking at me. I’m sleepy. I miss my nap.” Seven miles! And two hours! What should we do? How could we overtake the team, when it must have nearly arrived by this time? Mr. Luttrel was one of those influential people of the town who arc apt to assume great inde- pendence and arrogance where strangers are con- cerned. We deemed it strange that he had sent the props to Bcnev. as we had heard of nothing that was going to take place in that town, but our minds were set at rest by even this unsatisfactory chance. Xot daring to question him further, lest he refuse us the use of his property altogether, we hurried back to our cottage, while one of the boys harnessed I‘loss. The drive to Berley was an extremely pleasant one. considering the circumstances. That part of the country is full of beautiful lanes, driveways, and trees, and we were very merry, in spite of our disappointment. I'pon reaching Berley. we drove through the main street, but saw nothing of the team which we were seeking. We knew that it would not be likely to go through any other street, as they were all very narrow and short, and did not connect Main with any other. There was no other street in the town running parallel to Main street, so we reasoned the wagon must be on its way to the next town. Newcastle, four miles’ drive. We whipped up the horse, and although some- what disheartened by our second disappointment, we were soon in high spirits. We were going so swiftly that we could not help overtaking the wagon soon. So on we drove, conversing hope- fully about our plans for the following day I here were only three of us. but we managed l( keep up hope, and watched every vehicle breath- lessly until we caught up with it. W'e were in the midst of an excited discussion, when my cousin noticed that the horse had slack- ened her pace considerably, and soon she stopped altogether. Then we made the pleasing discovery that one of her shoes was missing. What could we do? We couldn’t go back, now that we had come so far. e must be somewhere near Mr. Luttrel's props.” We had driven so fast, and a great lumbering, clumsy wagon such as would be required to truck scenery could not possibly go half as quickly. Spying a blacksmith s shop, we made arrange- ments with the muscular blacksmith to leave the horse and buggy with him until our return. Meanwhile he would shoe the horse. We asked him if he knew of any place where bicycles were sold or hired. lie told us that there was only one place in all Newcastle where bicycles could be had. and he wasn’t even sure of that. Ife directed us to a small shop a littje way ahead, and. luckily for us. we were able to hire three. Mv cousin was quite angry when he found that he must ride a girl's wheel or walk. But after fum- ing a while he decided to ride. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR n Then we had to hurry in order to make up for lost time. Any one who lias ridden a bicycle on a country road knows that it is very tiresome, espe- cially when that ro.ad is very stony. Imagine our dismay when, upon hearing a hissing sound and glancing at Roy. we saw that young man, red- faced and puffing, jump from his seat and feel of his back tire. W e knew by the look on his face that it was punctured! He kicked it violently, as if it were the cause of his mishap. As he objected seriously to walking alone, and as It would be quite difficult to ride a punctured wheel, we were all compelled to walk, fairly lugging our bicycles at the same time. Weren't we furious when we learned that we were only about a mile from New- castle! A mile more would bring us to Eastgate. W ell, that wasn’t so bad, but it might be worse. It wouldn’t hurt us to walk that little distance, but we didn’t stop to reflect that a mile in the country is very different from a mile in the city. So. hot and dusty, we trudged on our weary way. drag- ging the bicycles after us. We met no one until just before we reached Eastgate. Then we met an old farmer, and eagerly inquired if he had seen a team answering to the description of Mr. Luttrel's. After scratching his head and talking to his horse for the space of five minutes, he answered: Wal. it seems to me I did sec a boss sumpitv like wot yeou say. Must be a purty good distance ahead now. Six miles, mebbe. Giddap!’’ Although this reply was somewhat discourag- ing. it gave us a little information about what we wanted. Leaving the wheels at a little shack, we walked on until we met another farmer, and after telling him our trouble, he said he'd turn back and take us half of the way to Derry. W e appreciated his kindness very much, but the hope of getting that troublesome scenery was growing dim. He let us off at a little railroad station half- way between Eastgate and Derry, and told us to ride the rest of the way. W e didn’t like to tell him that we had spent our last cent for the bicycles, so we bade him a cheery good-by. Then the question was: How should we reach Derry? W’e spied some water in the distance, so we walked down to the shore and asked a man to let us take his punt to go to Derry, lie readily consented, but our dismay was unimaginable when, upon reaching that town, we learned that no team had passed through there all day. No use! came from all lips at once. Dis- heattened and thoroughly out of sorts, we rowed back. Had somebody in Derry told us that scenery was to be had within the radius of twenty miles. 1 think we should have continued the search, but, under the present circumstances, nothing re- mained but for us to return home. 1 he man at the shore was quite angry when he understood that we had no money to pay for the use of his boat, but when his anger had somewhat abated, we managed to wheedle him into lending us enough money to reach the station where the farmer had left us. Then we walked to the bicycle shop, and found that the vehicles were all prepared for us. W’e told the man we’d send the money. He didn't quite like the idea, but there was no other way out of it. We rode to the blacksmith’s shop, regained the horse, left the bicycles, and rode the rest of the way home in ease. Mr. Luttrel was at the door, and just as we ap- proached. he hollered: Wal, young ’uns, here's your duds. You have larned your lesson. I had them all the time. We gazed speechlessly at each other for a full moment. Then Roy spoke. Well! I ll—be— darned!’’ said he. and we mentally echoed his words. But Mr. Luttrel only guffawed. Z. E. Club The T. B.

That’s just the reason I'm goin' ter set it. was the reply. It's the smoulderin' fires that does the damage. The brush is so dry that it will blaze up and be out in no time. And, besides, the wind isn’t blowin’ any. Put if the wind should start up while the brush is burning, it would carry the sparks right over into Butler's wood-lot: and you wouldn't want to risk set tin' his property afire, even though you aren't the best of friends. Don’t worry about Butler, he’ll look out for number one, and taint my business it) look out for other people’s property. Anyway, the brush is on my own land, and I have a right to set it whenever I please. Come. Harold, you get the oil can, and we'll burn that brush, then vou can go off and do as you want, only you needn’t see that Jennie Butler, for I'm not a-goin to have a son of mine marry a girl of that----- But father!---- Xo 'But father' about it. I just won't have it. that's all. Harold said no more, but went for the oil can, knowing that this reference to a possible peril to Mr. Butler's wood-lot had only served to strengthen his father's determination to carry out his plan. Mr. Porter made his way toward the pile of brush, muttering as he went: Well, if Butler hadn't acted so mean about that wood-lot, things might have been different ' That wood-lot which he had always cast covet- ous looks upon! Its great trees—many of which he remembered as full grown when he was but a boy—how proud he would have been to own them! But when it was for sale, and he had told his dearest friend. Butler, his hopes to possess it, and how he had always longed to own it. to have Butler outbid him at the auction was more than he could stand. He saw the pines and spruces wave in the breeze, and here and there a red maple. It seemed all so peaceful and beautiful that he forgot, for an instant, his hatred of its owner; but he was sud- denly interrupted by a loud, angry voice calling:— Look out there, Porter! You ain’t got no business sett in’ fires when it is so dry, and so near my wood-lot, too! I he farmer lighted a bough and stirred the pile into a blaze, and then flung back: You mind vour business. Jim Butler, and I'll mind mine! The brush blazed up fiercely for a time. and. as he had said, quickly died down into a heap of ashes, from which here and there could be seen signs of fire, but which Mr. Porter did not notice. That night, to Harold's anxious inquiries, he answered: I hope I know enough to burn a pile of brush without setting the world afire. But nevertheless his dreams were disturbed by visions of flames which seemed to accuse him, and from which he seemed to shrink. Harold, having spent the evening with a party of young people, had just returned home. Xot being sleepy, he sat down by the window. His thoughts wandered toward the quarrel, and lie said to himself: 1 don’t see why father wants to be so obstinate about Jennie. 'Twasn't her fault, or mine, either, that her father got that wood-lot. And. as he looked in the direction of it, he saw seething flames leaping from tree to tree. He ran to his father's door, and called in frightened tones: leather! I'ather! Wake up! Butler’s woods are on fire, and the wind is blowing the flames right toward his house.” The farmer sprang out of bed and rushed to the window. It was true. The corner of the wood- lot was all on fire, and. favored by the wind, which had sprung up in the night, was sweeping in the direction of Butler’s house. When the two reached the house, the Butlers had evidently given up all hopes of saving their home. With the help of a few neighbors, they were carrying the furniture to a place of safetv. Ben Porter, with stern determination in his tones, shouted loudly: Here, neighbors! Aren't you goin' ter try ter check the fire in time to save the buildings?” “What's the use of trying? cried one man. The fire'll jump the brook in no time, and then everything'll go ’ A despairing groan burst from Butler, but the tones of his old friend renewed the hope which he himself had. and he shouted: Set the growth on the other side of the brook afire! The only hope is to fight fire with fire ’ SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3 Xo sooner said than Farmer Porter snatched some dry boughs lying near the woodpile, and. lighting one, he waded across the brook, followed by Harold and some of the neighbors, who helped him apply the burning firebrands here and there until the undergrowth began to blaze, and soon burst into a mass of flames, not strong enough to reach the opposite bank, but leaving a space over which the advancing fire could not leap. Half suffocated by the smoke in trying to check t .e advance of the fire, the men were ready to give up. when Porter called out: “Jump into the brook ! And, following his own advice, he jumped into the brook, ami there renewed his fight with the tire. ()ne by one the men gave up what seemed to them a useless struggle, but Ben Porter kept on. stumbling, half-blinded by the smoke, beating back the flames. lie groaned aloud, not from his burns, but by the thought that the fault was his, and he mut- tered: “I'll save my friend’s home, or die in the attempt. Not until the growth was a blackened tract of land did he give way. and. blinded and half-suffo- cated. he fell unconscious into the cool waters of the brook. hen he came to, his blistered face was being bathed tenderly by a cooling wash. and. looking up. he beheld Jennie, while near her Mr. Butler and Harold were standing. “lie’s coinin’ to all right. He'll be about in a day or two. Ben smiled, in spite of the pain, for it was the voice of his old friend, and said: I’m sorry. Jim. His friend realized what a hard thing it was for Ben Porter, as proud as he was. to say that, and he cried: Sorry—for what, Ben? You ain't sorry you’ve saved my home, are you?” But—the—wood-lot! cried Ben. Only a small portion of that is burned; the wind changed all of a sudden. A smile lightened the face of the old man. and. extending his hand to Jennie, he exclaimed: “Here. Harold, take her; that wood-lot isn’t a barrier any longer. tube JBlack l ounb 36Xeonaib a. Ifiice, X., '12 iHE sixth of December, yes, that is what to-day is. The sixth of De- cember. 1901. Ten years ago to- night this strange business began. It was only last March that you came here, wasn’t it? Xo feller has been talking to you much except me. I guess, so probably you never heard about the Black Hound. Never have, eh? Well. I’ll tell you. This strange business began on the sixth of December, 1S91. It was a cold, bright night, and I was driving home from the mills. As I went past Lambdon’s place, young Lambdon ran out to the road and told me that Jim McCabe was lost in the woods, and asked me if I would be one of a searching party that was to start in a short time on a hunt for him. I told him yes, and then drove home and put the horse up. There were ten of us at Simpson's Spring at 11 o’clock ready to start. W'e agreed upon a signal if one of us found Jim. and then started olT. At about cpiarter of twelve we were again congregated at the spring, that is. nine of us were, but none successful. Rod Cam- eron had not yet come in. At midnight, as we were sitting around the lire, there suddenly arose a long, mournful howl, which rang through the forest. ()ur faces blanched, and we looked at each other in wonder. It was the most dismal cry 1 have ever heard. The first to break the silence after the awesome cry was Rob MacGregor. A wolverine, likely,’ he said. 'A wolverine? No wolverine or any other animal that I ever heard howled like that. Boys, boys. I’m not a coward, but I don’t like that cry, and I’m going home.’ one of the men said, but I growled:— ’Go. then. I’m going to wait for Cameron.’ At the name of Cameron every man looked up, but young Lambdon was the first to speak. ‘Cameron.’ he said, “you don’t suppose that howl—’ lie stopped, but we all understood what lie meant. W'e did not find Jim McCabe, nor did we ever see Rod Cameron from that day to this. ()n the sixth day of December. 1.S95. Rob Mac- Gregor drove to tile fort, which is about six miles from here, to see his brother Hal. His brother said that Rob started from the house about half- past ten that night. The next day a man, walking 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR through a patch of woods about four miles this side of the fort, found a pung with a dead horse in the fills. The horse and pung were MacGregor’s. A man who lived close to the woods said that about midnight that night he was awakened from a sound sleep by a long, mournful howl which rang through the forest. Rob MacGregor was never seen again. Lad, the men who searched on that memorable night have disappeared, one by one. on every sixth of December. Last year it was young Lambdon. At different times on those days men have seen a great black hound, which, as soon as followed, slunk away into the underbrush or the forest. Men have met it and fired at it. but without effect. Lad, to-night is the sixth of December.” The old man paused, and I. for it was to me he was telling this story, felt the strange, expectant tensity which a mystery brings to one. I loosened my revolver in my belt, for 1 felt an uneasiness which kept growing on me. I was the express agent of the little town of Stanton, and old George MacGran was telling me this story in the little one- room station. I glanced up at the clock. It was creeping slowly toward the midnight hour. I looked toward the old man. He was sitting by the stove, his head buried in his hands, waiting, waiting, but waiting for what? The 1 !. ) express went thundering by. and then as we sat there the hour began to strike. I counted. ()nc—two—three—four—five—six— crash! 'file window contained a long, dark form which shot through and landed squarely upon the old man. I leaped to my feet, and my revolver spoke again and again until I had emptied the whole six chambers. I then sprang forward, ex- pecting to land on the form, but I struck the door with a dull thud. There was nothing there! I sprang to my feet. and. running to the door, looked out. There was nothing in sight, but sud- denly there arose a long, mournful howl which rang through the forest opposite the little station. I turned and looked into the station, and then with a cry of astonishment I ran to the part of the room where the old man had been sitting, and stood looking down at—an empty chair! The old man had disappeared! And again there arose a long, mournful howl which rang and re-rang through the forest.

Hccifcent A serious accident happened to Hager, of the Sophomore class, while playing against Tufts in a practice game. On a line plunge Hager, who was playing against a much heavier man, was under the pile. In some way his leg was doubled under him. When the play was stopped it was seen that Hager could not rise from the ground. On trying to place him on his feet, it was found that his leg was fractured, lie was taken to the Somerville Hospital. I'he loss of Hager was felt keenly by Coach Dickinson, as he was an aggressive player. We all hope to see him back to school soon, and wish him the best of luck while recovering.

When this paper comes out the Somcrville- Waltham game will be a thing of the past, but here’s luck to the team. Charles Brickley. of Everett, is certainly very fast, and had it not been for Forg, who tackled him about three yards from the goal line, Somer- ville would have been beaten. In the excitement of the Waltham game, don’t forget that Rindge has one of the fastest teams in years. The Rindge game will be a great light, with Somerville the favorite. Coach Dickinson has had his share of trouble in accidents. Hager, with a fractured leg. “Bob Garland, with a dislocated shoulder, Buck Cald- well. with an abscess on the knee, and Ernest Fisher, with a sprained ankle, comprise the hos- pital list. The goal which Woodman kicked in the Boston Latin game was a beauty. Bug” certainly de- served it. as he has practiced faithfully. The Tufts football management showed its sportsmanship by voting to defray Hager's hos- pital bills. THE LITCHFIELD STUDIO H. W.

Aside from the play itself, the cheering was the most encouraging feature of the day. Although the volume was not so great as might have been expected, Owing to the widely-scattered crowd, the spirit was the best shown in years. On several occasions the rival team was cheered, while the ill- bred practice of hissing the referee was only once used, and then quickly discountenanced. Much of the credit for the cheering, both for its quantity and quality, is due the cheer leaders. McCarty. McCarthy. Donahue, and Ahcarn. Let us hope that these four will see fit to act in the same ca- pacity for the remaining games of the football season and for the baseball games next spring. � • The mid-season slump, so common in every sport, struck the High School football team in the Dorchester game, thus preventing it from winning its first league contest. Deplorable as is such a slump, it is better to have it come as it did than to crop out unexpectedly in the most important game of the season. Last year's Rindgc game offers an example of such a reversal of form to those who recall the disappointing result. The Rindgc team which faces Somerville Thanksgiving morning will be even stronger than that of last year. Somerville, however, appears to be the slightly better team. and. barring accidents, should win. Here's hoping that the victory may be a de- cisive one! ¥ V W e owe an apology to Alfred Dickinson for the mistake in his name which appeared in last month's issue. � •� ?� � � � The Radiator management is much gratified at this, year’s subscription list. The total monthly circulation in the two schools, including cash sales, is about 850, an increase of almost 100 over last year. Encouraging as this is. however, out of nearlv 1,800 pupils, it seems as if at least 000 ought to subscribe. Perhaps by another year, with a corresponding increase of interest shown in the Radiatoh. this result may be realized. r . � In choosing a cover design for the Radiatoh, we have acted on the supposition that it is better to use one design of recognized worth throughout the year than t have different ones each month of varying artistic value and appropriateness. Keeping the same cover not only lends uniformity to the volume, but the difference in expense is also an important consideration. The present cover design has stood the test of years, and. without be- ing gaudy, is thoroughly artistic. This month we have tried a color scheme which we hope will con- vey the idea of Red and Line more effectively than was the case in the October number. r. v r The pupils of the Latin School welcome Miss Kate Monro as head of the history department, in place of Miss Bowkcr, resigned. Although born in .Vova Scotia. Miss Monro received most of her education in Massachusetts, attending the Everett High School and later Mt. Holyoke College. She also spent one summer in study abroad. Since her graduation from Mt. Holyoke in 11)00, Miss Monro has had a varied experience as a teacher. In IDOO-’O? she taught in the Woodsville (X. H.) High School, in BMB-'OS in Clark University, At- lanta. (la., and last year in the Biddeford (Me.) High School. Miss Monro had begun her second year at Biddeford when called to Somerville. IMPORTANT NOTICE Hereafter, beginning with the December num- ber. the Radiator will be published on the third Thursday of the month, instead of on the last, as previously. This change, we believe, will prove more satisfactory than the present arrangement to all concerned. This means that all material for the Radiator must he passed in not later than the fifth of the month. 30 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR H fllMsta I?e Cecil ID. Barlow, £., ’10 How I ever came to “chum” with “Whitey” Ford, the freshman, is more than 1 can explain t this day. If I were making up this story I should say that I remembered mv own freshman days and took pity on Ford. But I am not making this up and I didn’t remember my freshman days (to tell the truth I forgot them next year), and Ford was not a boy that solicited pity from anyone; he was president of his class and could have had just as many friends as he wished. I think the first thing that attracted me to him was his football. I got down to watch practice one day early in the term just in time to see Ford trot out to the centre of the field to try “punts. Some of the fellows laughed, and he did look funny; he was so ludi- crously small and his togs had evidently been built for someone at least twenty pounds heavier. But Ford just laughed and kicked the ball- -what a punt! It sailed low up the field without the slight- est twist or spiral. but just as a man thought he had it in his arms it gave an elusive little wriggle and bounced away. It was a beautiful piece of work, and it established that boy as far as we were concerned. I never could exactly determine why the fellows called hirn “Whitey, but I presume it was done with the usual schoolboy contrariness because he was so dark. The fact remains that Ford and I were as nearly inseparable as the difference in our ages would al- low. I tried hard to have him room with me, but it was “not customary for seniors and fresh- men to room together, and if you ever went to a school like St. Edmund's you will know that to at- tempt to do anything “not customary is met with the same degree of disfavor as would manslaughter or some other particularly disgraceful crime. So on the school roster Ford and I were designated as rooming in entirely different dormitories, but as a matter of fact most of the time I was not in Ford’s room he was in mine, so he was always called my roommate. I soon learned that Ford, like all other boys of his stamp, could keep a secret, and I gradually got into the habit of telling him practically all mv af- fairs, and I found the custom a good one. as many of those petty annoyances which, trivial in them- selves, so mar school life became less on talking them over. When school closed for the Faster recess Ford invited me to stay the week with him. His home was but a few hours' ride from the school, whereas if I had gone to my own home, three days out of the week would have been taken up with travel, so I accepted Ford's invitation. I think 1 spent the happiest hours of mv life dur- ing that week. We roamed over the acres of wild woodland and fished in the numerous brooks that Mr. Ford owned, and we planned to come down in the autumn when the season was “on and shoot. Xo less delightful was the one rainy day we had. The old house contained as many things of interest to a boy as did the grounds. Young Ford had no mother, but lived alone with his father and sister, whom, having nothing to do with the story, 1 for- got to mention. When we returned to school we were closer friends, and we got to be known as the “Heavenly Twins among the fellows and did all our study- ing together. When 1 had my Latin done or Ford his “math the fellows would shake their heads knowingly, but the instructors murmured something about breaking up this combination. and Seward, the school joker, made some allusions to the Society for the Elimination of Study” in the school paper. All these pleasant times passed away very quickly and then came what was probably the greatest trouble of my life. It all happened this way: One evening after Prep, when the mail was distributed. I received a letter, which I recognized as coming from my mother. I thrust the letter into my pocket and Ford and I went it]) to my room. I shall never forget that night—the light from the open fire flickered on the posters and flags on the walls. Ford sat at the piano and pounded out a popular air which he sang horribly out of tune, and this is what I read:— “My dear boy: By the time this reaches you you will probably have heard of your father’s fail- ure. You will. I know, take no notice of the in- sinuating remarks « f the press as to his business methods. You know as well as I do that your SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 31 father is a good man ; he may have made a mistake, but be guilty of a dishonorable action, never! Of course you realize that you cannot stay where you are, and 1 think you would better come home the first of next week. Father has broken down entirely and I can write no more now. Do your best, my boy, to bear your share, which is perhaps the hardest of this, our trouble. “Your loving Mother.” I must have sat there for minutes, the contents of the letter burning itself into my brain. Ford finished playing and turning caught sight of my face. “What's the matter?” he asked concernedly. I hesitated just for a second and then my habit overcame me and 1 handed him the letter. He read it in a moment and was at my side. Cheer up,” he said. What difference does it make? You can come back later. Besides,” he added ingenuously, it’s an awfully hard life we live here, anyway.” It’s not that,” I answered, it's what people will---” Rubbish! he cried, what do you care for what people say or think, and you know the rule about newspapers here, so nobody will know anything about it: but I’m awfully sorry you're going, old chap. 1 sat silent, whilst Ford, seeing 1 wanted to be left alone, slipped quietly out of tin- room. I felt somewhat ashamed of myself to think I had been so anxious to avoid being talked about, while they at home were bearing so much. Three days passed, and 1 supposed that even if anyone had read the papers they had never con- nected the affair with me. I had just begun to feel my secret safe, when, entering a classroom sud- denly, 1 heard two boys talking about it. I was too surprised to think clearly, but soon mv surprise gave way to anger. How had they found out? I had told nobody except Ford, and surely Ford would not tell—yet—someone must have told. I thought the affair over all afternoon, and the more I thought the more angry I was with Ford. There was no doubt in my mind now that he had divulged my secret: that was the only explanation. Just as these dark thoughts were crossing my mind Ford entered the room; it was an inopportune moment, it was a moment I would give anything to recall. Hello. he said, what’s up now? Well,” I answered, have you come to find out some more?” What do you mean?” I think you know what I mean all right. I sup- pose you didn’t tell Haskell and Williams, did you ?’’ “Tell Haskell and Williams?” Yes, you know well enough what 1 mean ; about my father. You don't-----. he began reproachfully, then anger taking hold of him. he continued :— You lie! Did I ask to know your secrets? What do I gain by telling them? What do you think I am anyway? How dare you accuse me that way? 1 tell you you lie! All caution was gone to the winds now, and I sprang up in a fury. Leave this room! Do you think you can do what you have done and then come here and talk to me this way? Leave this room, I say! Don't have any fear. 1 am going, and when you return my nose-guard and the ‘Count of Monte Christo’ please send them by one of the fellows. I don't want to see you.” With this he strode out of the room and I watched him cross the yard, his head high in the air. After this I counted the minutes until the time 1 should return home. 1 did no work and moped around the whole time. The afternoon of the next day I decided to go for a sail on the lake. Taking advantage of the privilege extended to up- per classmen. I possessed a twenty-foot catboat that carried a fabulous amount of sail for her beam. I called her the Tip-top, but Davis, who was out in her with me one afternoon in a stiff breeze when the mast was at an angle of twenty degrees with the water half the time and she shipped water every few minutes, renamed her the Top-heavy,” which name stuck. As I neared the wharf I saw Ford was sitting on the farther end fishing. He did not even look up, so 1 took no notice. I had some trouble in get- ting the painter loose, as they were building an ex- tension to the wharf, and my boat was held off ten feet from the solid wharf by a network of beams that were the skeleton of the wharf to be. I suc- ceeded in getting hold of the painter at last, and thinking it was taut swung myself by it towards the rocking boat. The rope, which was shorter than I thought, did not quite swing me to the boat but Hung me into the water with my arm against the boat. I am a fair swimmer and could easily have got out. only the closeness of the quarters prevented me from striking out. and my arm next to the boat was too numb with the blow it had re- 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ceived to grasp the boat. I was wondering what to do and getting weaker and weaker every mo- ment. when I saw Lord's face peering at me through the network of beams. “All right.' he shouted, and before I could speak he had dived within a few feet of me; he grasped me by the collar and pulled me to the edge of the boat; there his strength seemed to fail him. but I was safe now and I scrambled over the side and pulled him after me. Only then did 1 notice the cut on his head: he had dived into one of the pro- jecting beams! By this time a crowd of fellows had gathered and I saw with a sigh of relief the school surgeon push- ing through tlie crowd. I looked down at Ford where he was lying on the deck and I saw he was trying to say something. I could see it by the look in his eyes, a look I shall never forget: but I never knew what it was, because before the sur- geon could get on board Ford was dead. After that it was quite like a horrible nightmare to me. a nightmare that is not all over yet. Ford's father came down and told me how much my friendship had meant to his son, and I wished for the strength to tell him just what had happened, but the strength did not come. Now when I visit St. Edmund’s 1 do not go as the “Grads” do with the college colors on my hat and college watch-fobs and college “frat” pins and talk patronizingly with the instructors about their prep” school days. I linger beside a little grave that bears the inscription: “No greater love hath man than this, that he gave his life for his friend. ZLbc Unsuccessful Hnarcbists 35 ? Olive ii . £ e IDarist X., HO OM 1� RADLEY stood on the corner of Washington and Boylston streets, whistling to keep cheerful. He needed, in his own opinion, some- thing to brighten his spirits, for here he was alone, in Boston for the first time. The night before he had arrived in the Bay State capital after a long and tedious journey from his home, a little town on Cape Cod. His only friend and acquaintance in the city, Ralph Emery, had met him at the train, and he had received a hearty welcome. Ralph was a detective, who years before had been in Tom’s home town on a special case. There Tom had met him and admired him : hence a firm friendship had sprung up between the two. Ralph had often urged that Tom come to Bos- ton and find some business opportunities, instead of wasting his energies in a little country town. And now at last Tom had come,—a young man with active brain and great hopes for a splendid future. His friend and he were to room together, and that first night they had talked long and earnestly on business matters. In the morning Ralph had a case with the So- ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and the two had parted at Boylston street. Ralph to his work, and Tom to look for work and view Bos- ton. So here he stood, not exactlv forlorn, but a little lonely, and wondering where to go first. Suddenly a man who had been looking at him came over and addressed him. See here, young man, are you busy? he asked. Well, not any too much so. Why did you wish to know?” queried Tom. Well. I thought you looked ’s if time hung a little heavily on your hands, and I’m looking for some one in that condition. replied the man. “Let me introduce myself. My name’s James Rowley. Now. 1 have a little business project to set before you which I think will please you. Won't you walk along Washington street with me while I disclose my plans a little more fully?” “Why, yes, said Tom (“for it is better than standing here, and I rather like the man’s man- ner.” he thought). That's right, son. I didn't think you’d let a chance like this go by. and I don’t think you'll re- gret it. said the man. falling into step. Now. to enumerate! Four friends and I have formed a club called the Society for the Prevention of Tyranny. I am president of the society. Now, we have a lot of little odd jobs which are impor- tant to our society, but to which we. having other business of greater moment, cannot attend. We arc willing to pay a large salary to some young man of good reputation who will assist us. I can- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 53 not tell you more, as it is the secretary’s duty to do that, and besides, our society is a secret one. If you agree to accept the offer, you must become what we term an assisting member. How does this appear to you? “Why. it sounds plausible enough. said Tom, but I don’t like to go into anything unless I know how much it will bring me. Oh. that is an uncertain matter. said the man. It's according to the nature of the work which you do. Sometimes you may earn as much as .$100 in one week, and at other times less.—you may always count on $20, anyway! And now, here we are at the door of our club building Will you work for us? If so, come up. Yes. I think I'll come up and try it and see how it goes, answered Tom. Very well, follow me. said Mr. Rowley. They went up in the elevator to the top floor, and at the end of a long corridor came to a closed door. Mr. Rowley knocked solemnly three times. The door was opened cautiously a crack, and an eye peeped out. What yer want? queried a weak, rasping voice. It’s Jim; let me in. I've a friend with me.” “Oh. it’s you so soon! Come! and the door was opened wide. A thin, wiry little man stood in the doorway, with an inquisitive look on his face. Rehind him. ranged around the room in various attitudes, were three other men. Shut the door and lock it. Tim. said Rowley. Then, turning to l oin, who had followed him in with a little hesitation. W elcome to our club- room. and now for an introduction to the fellows. This, pointing to a tall, lean individual, who lazily dragged himself from a knotted position in the corner, this is Jem Hawkins. Pleased ter see yer. awkwardly drawled the lank individual, and immediately resumed his knots. This.' went on Mr. Rowley, pointing to a short, fat gentleman, who pompously came for- ward with a pudgy paw, is Mr. L. Y. W arvillc Simpton. Quite charmed! Our assistant. I suppose. said the pompous one. That is Hans Limitt over there, said Mr. Rowley, pointing to a combination of bent shoulders and bulging eyes earnestly bending over a book on the table. He’s too busy to get up. He’s our secretary. And now let me introduce the door warden. Tim Crokcr.” I like vour looks, said Tim frankly, “sit down. Now. gentlemen, for business. said Mr. Row- ley. loudly rapping on the table. All came for- ward and solemnly took their places about the table. Mr. Limitt closed his book with a sigh and looked drearily at Toni. W ill the secretary kindly enroll our new mem- ber? said Mr. Rowley. Your name? asked Mr. Limitt of Tom in a weary voice. Tom Rradlev. said the boy firmly. Do you swear to do our work? asked the sec- retary. ' I do, answered Tom. He'll do. said the secretary, looking towards the president. Kindly state the business of this meeting. said Mr. Rowley. The secretary stood and cleared his throat loudly. Dear gentlemen. he said, we arc a band firmly united. Here he coughed weakly, having been rewarded with a smile from the pompous gentleman. W’c hate power, and are resolved not to be ruled! continued the secretary. To- day we wish a great obstacle removed from our path. Yonder. pointing toward the State House, which could be seen from the side window, yonder lies that obstacle, one of the largest in our pathway. W ith this small weapon. taking a package from a drawer in the table, we propose to rid ourselves of that obstacle. Young man, you are to do this work for us! ‘ W hat have you in the package? asked Tom. It is a bomb. said Mr. Rowley, and you are to take it and blow up the State House. I will not!” said Tom. rising. Preposterous!” A on have promised. reminded the secretary. You have promised. echoed the pompous in- dividual. Put. gentlemen, this is entirely out of the ques- tion. said Tom. ------ ‘ It seems to me it is entirely in the question.” interrupted Mr. Rowley. Young man. don’t he finicky. You will get $1,000 from this work.” Tom’s eyes glittered. “Rut I’d be arrested. he said. “()h. no. if you're careful there'll be no danger.” said Mr. Rowley. Come, don't keep ns waiting. W ell. I did promise, and I do need money.” said Tom. That's right, old man. said Tim, and they all ceremoniously shook hands with Tom. Mr. 34 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Limitt placed the package containing the bomb in Tom's hands, and Mr. Rowley said: Now, Tom, carry this up Tremont street, and go across the Common to the State House. Walk around it once, observing it closely, and find out the best point from which to throw the bomb. Then throw it. when you see no one looking, and run! You can tell best what to do when you get there. Now you had better start and get it done.” Very well,” answered Tom a little nervously. “Good luck ter yer,” said the knotted man. Rv-by,” said the pompous one, waving a fat hand in air. Take good care of yourself. said the door warden. At the successful completion of your commis- sion you shall be liberally rewarded,” said the sec- retary. Mr. Rowley accompanied Tom to the door, and said in a low tone: •I’.e courageous! It's a bold deed and a difficult one, but will soon be over!' Then he closed the door, and Tom, with his bur- den. slowly descended the stairs. It's a mean business, thought Tom, as he trudged up to Tremont street. Arriving at Tre- mont street, his steps grew slower and slower, and he began to look around for some place where he might hide his treacherous bundle. It grew heavier and heavier to him as he walked along, and his desires to blow up the State Mouse be- came less as he neared it. I am a traitor to my country! lie exclaimed to himself, and he grew hot at the thought. lie looked around him guiltily at the hurrying throngs of shoppers. He almost staggered as he encountered the eyes of a neat little woman in brown, who onlv wondered what he was carrying home for dinner in his big bundle. Finally, when lie reached the Common, lie was in a cold sweat and trembling from head to foot. W’hat can I do with it? What can I do with it? he murmured over and over to himself as he walked toward the glittering dome. A little girl, coming toward him down the path, ran breathlessly past him. wildly exclaiming: He’s crazy! He reached the State House, and was about to make the fatal trip around it. Suddenly lie felt a hearty slap on his shoulder, lie jumped, and nearly fainted. Why. what’s the matter, old man? You're awfully limp! ex- claimed a voice, and turning he saw his friend, Ralph. Oil. Ralph, you're the very man to see! said Tom. for you’re a detective and can help me out of an awful scrape!” “Guess I will, old chum, is it serious? said Ralph. It’s nearly crazed me,” answered Tom. and pro- ceeded to tell his story. When he had finished Ralph patted him on the shoulder. It’s a mighty risky business. lie said, and I guess you won’t blow up the State House after all. We’ve been trying to rout that gang of anarchists for months, and now I guess they're spotted. Old man. you’re to be congratulated. You will get a good round sum of money for locating them.” Tom could hardly believe his ears. How they went back to the club room and ar- rested the anarchists need hardly be told. It is enough to say that in a week Tom was amply re- warded with a large sum from the government. He now has a fine position and has decided to re- main true to his country and its laws. Cbc Bitar of Ibarmony 36 y Bao asar Ik. BaobCdOian, IE., ’ll [Editor's Note.—Mr. Ihighdigian lias been in this coun- try hut a short time, and the following is his description of the natural bounties of his native land.] There is a country in darkness, behind the east- ern horizon, dimly known to the Western world through its wholesale martyrdoms during this twentieth century. It is The Land of Ararat. Armenia, where the Ark rested after the Deluge: where the cradle of humanity was first rocked; where the first gratitude to Divine Providence was offered (Genesis viii.: 20); where the first Chris- tian kingdom was established, and where civiliza- tion began its march. Not the history of Armenia nor its persecuted people is the subject of this little narrative, nor is it intended to tell you of its present natural beau- ties or of those that have been destroyed by foul SOMERV.LLE IIIGI1 SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 Turkish and Kurdish hands, but simply to try to depict a scene observed a few years ago, when yet in the Fatherland. The uplifting impression re- maining with me of its picturesque perfection is beyond human power to describe. We had started at dawn intending to climb up Dava-Roiney (Camel-Xeck mountain) before the warmth of noon. It was our second day's journey. ()ur traveling was done by donkey caravan, and the speed was rather limited, three or four miles an hour. In order to avoid any hindrance, the cara- van started early to cover the territory before noon and then rest awhile, get a little luncheon, and feed tlie creatures before re-starting. The moon still smiled on the quiet plain of Ooz- Ova with its silvery light. The shadows of mul- berry trees cast imaginary human pictures on the road'. The sentinels of the firmament kept watch- ful eyes over us in that clear, pure, and undefiled air. and the traces of snow, half covered with mul- berry and grape leaves in vineyards and mulberry orchards, recalled to us the passing � f cold and idle days (for people have almost nothing to do there during the winter time, especially the farmers). The harmonious sounds of the bells from the don- keys' necks echoed back to my sleepy sense. The mournful cry of a nightingale from a distant tree recalled to my mind some past tragedies and filled me with a sense of iciir at that moment; for we were Armenians traveling without any weapon, according to an Armenian law. A cool, gentle breeze greeted us as we ap- proached the vast plain, and that sweet sighing of the wind through the trees still touched our ears. One of our companions began to sing “The Morn- ing Light.' a prayerful hymn, written in the twelfth century A. I)., by Nicrses the Graceful, an Ar- menian Archbishop. It is written in ancient Ar- menian. Its spirituality carries even a sinful reader into a mental ecstacy. As we went on we saw the golden rays of the sun shining on the tree tops. The joyous early birds began to breathe a tune of happiness. I he herds, imprisoned during the long winter days, now had come to the prairie to enjoy the bountiful gifts of nature. The pathetic cries of the mother cows and goats and the faint answers of the little calves and lambs filled the atmosphere. he Happy dancing actions of newly-born lambs an- nounced another pleasant day. while musical eddy- ings of water from the highlands circled around the creatures. All actions intermingled harmony. There was no trace of discord. An inexpressible sentiment had filled my heart with joy and happiness. Now we were climbing that high mountain. As we went on to the top, my greatest surprise (the others were familiar with the conditions on the mountain) was a snowstorm. The wind was blowing from all directions. It was cold and muddy. The other side presented a very different aspect. The sun was shining, clear and bright upon a silver plain—the Tvovag. a lake, penetrating its sharp rays into the depths of the water. The marvelous sight inspired me. and an unconscious cry of de- light escaped my boyish lips. 1 stood there greatly moved before that perfection of nature. 1 could say nothing, only watch. There were lessons of higher life to be learned from this Altar of Harmony. If I could live here. The euphonious sounds of rippling waves obliged me to sit down and hear the sweet mes- sage of the LTiseen One. The singing voice of an Armenian fisherman, on the lake, singing the Lord's prayer, aroused a deep inspiration in me. In order to get a good idea of the place I turned back and looked at the mountains. There the en- chanting spring air had enhanced and crowned the mountain peaks with golden verdure. On the op- posite side of the lake some village women had come to do their washing, under willow trees. The endless smoke from the little stony hearths rose through the new-folded trees and mingled with the air. Some gypsies were camping on the western shore, which was clothed with green vesture. Their cheerfulness of action showed no worldly care. Some were singing legendary songs, while a gray-haired woman was singing a song of praise to the memory of one who had died bravely in battle. The same lady was also building fire to prepare Shorba (soup) for their breakfast. As she poked the fire with a stick the dim golden sparks added a beauty to the place. Yonder some horses and colts were enjoying the green grass and running around. An old gypsy near them had gathered a few of the young people around him and was sticking willow branches into the ground. Evi- dently he was teaching his attendants how to make baskets. Their dress showed that they were a people who lived very near to nature. On the south side 1 could see nothing but the plain water displayed in its shining bosom, the beauties of the sky and the earth, and a little mist arising, as if incensing fragrance to the ruins of St. Xishan’s Cathedral, where the glory of Armenia was once sung by great seers like Xierses the Graceful. 36 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ZDoo Xatc tty HMU rei X.

Of course I doubt whether 1 shall make a success, but I will sing.’' Wesley arose and took the girl’s hand. “Mv dear girl, don’t worry. Your voice is, of course, young and untrained, but I know you will not fail.” I hope not for your sake,” replied the girl simply. “Come and sing it for me now.” Marguerite trembled violently as she neared the piano. She shivered as she unrolled the manu- script, and leaned against the piano for support. The song was a simple Italian melody, and the girl sang it well. Her first few notes were shaky and weak, but as she gained confidence they became strong and full. The song finished. Marguerite sank into a chair. The man played a few chords and rose. Go home and put the piece away; don’t sing a note until Wednesday night. Then come, and if you sing as well as you did just now—well, the public will not forget you.” Marguerite drew on her gloves and put the manuscript in her muff. “Very well. Mr. Wesley. Good morning.” and she quickly left the room. Full of hope and happiness, the girl made her way to the cheerless room she called home. She put the manuscript away at once, and then sat down to think. She pictured to herself the flowers, the men. the audience, the clap of welcom- ing hands, in fact, everything that means success. Then, as it always does, came doubt. Would she succeed? Would the flowers be sent and the audi- ence clap? A black cloud of despondency fell upon her, and she dropped her head on the arm of lur chair and wept. Finally she jumped up and went over to the piano, standing between the two windows, and. contrary to Wesley’s com- mands. sang the Italian melody. She rose from the piano at its finish, full of hope and happiness once more. Wednesday night came, and Marguerite Rcr- nadi dressed herself in a simple white gown. Her checks were flushed with excitement and nervous- ness. As she entered the hall, Mr. Wesley met her. Courage, child, courage.” lie whispered. “I’m not afraid,” she replied slowly. “That's right, that’s right,” and he hurried away. '1 he time had come, and Marguerite walked upon the platform, white, but determined to at- tain success. She sang to the best of her ability, and Wesley smiled to himself. Surely the audi- ence would appreciate it. Rut it didn't. The last few notes of the song faded into silence, and save for a few half-hearted claps, the hall was still. White and stunned, the girl left the platform. She had failed. Marguerite Rernadi watched Mr. Wesley’s fingers again fly over the keys, just as she had so many, many years ago. In reality only five years had passed, but to Marguerite it seemed mariy more. “Xo. Mr. Wesley, I’m not willing to try again and make a failure, as 1 did before. The man jumped from the stool and faced her. Of course you must! You.are older and bet- ter fitted, and you must sing! Xot that song you sang before, but something lively, bril- liant.” Marguerite rose and stood before him. If I sing, I shall sing the same song I sang that night. I don't care about singing at all. I'd given up all idea of ever singing again before the public until your letter came. Rut you studied for it! Yes. 1 studied.” she answered wearily. Yes, I did. After 1 left the hall that night I was broken-hearted. Then I was bound to make the public recognize me. Xow 1 don't care. It would only end in failure, as before.” It cannot! It will not! You must sing! It means much to you! cried the musician fran- tically. The public will recognize you if you sing as you sang just now.” “So you said before,” the woman responded bit- terly . “Try again, do! Think of the fame, the suc- cess, pleaded Wesley. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 For sonic moments she sat still, thinking. Fin- ally she rose and pulled on her gloves. Very well, I will sing. Hut,” and she turned towards him fiercely. I shall sing that Italian melody. The door slammed to before W esley realized it; she had gone. He hurried after her. and spent an hour in vain at her home in trying to convince her that the piece could not. must not be sung. He finally left in despair, positive that she would fail. The night came, and Marguerite Bernadi smiled as she dressed herself. Failure and success meant the same to her now. Ambition had left her. Once more she walked upon the platform, a cynical smile about her lips. She sang; the audi- ence sat spellbound. As the last notes of the bril- liant piece Wesley had given her died away, the hall was shaken by the applause. The woman bowed her head slightly and walked slowly to the wings. Wesley shoved her back with the- order: Sing! She sang. Wesley shook his head as the first notes of the Italian melody rang out. But now it brought success, and Marguerite smiled as she returned to the wings. They accepted it this time. she said to Mr. Wesley. They did. and it all means success! he cried. Marguerite drew her cape closely around her and laughed bitterly. But it’s come too late. site said slowly. Even the catch in the girl’s voice did not call to his notice the tired eyes and drawn lips that the years of privation and hardship had wrought, and which foretold that the end was not far off. And the next morning he understood her words, as he stood looking down at the quiet body, still clothed in the simple gown it had worn the evening before. Yes. it came too late. he whispered, as he placed a single red rose in the cold, white hand. H Question Xx S . JSroofec ffbcltt niton. U.. TO What would you do with the snorer.

On the first play the ball was fumbled, and a Medford man re- covered it on the ten-yard line. On the next play Medford made a touchdown. Medford kicked to Somerville, and Howard ran the ball back. Ned Garland then made thirty-five yards. Then Somerville failed to make the dis- tance, and tried a forward pass, which failed. Medford punted, and Somerville started again ba- the goal. Howard made fifteen yards, and Cold- well ten more to the fifteen-vard line. Diekcrman made ten. and then Cousens went over for the touchdown. Medford scored next on a fluke. Somerville re- ceived the kickoff and made ten yards. Then an onside kick was tried, and Medford got the ball. Somerville held, and recovered the ball on a punt. They had started for another score, when a for- ward pass was tried, but the throw was blocked, and I'aliey, of Medford, got the ball, and with a clear field made a touchdown. Somerville then received the kickoff, and by on- side kicks and rushing soon got the ball on Med- ford territory. Cousens and Diekcrman carrying the ball. A forward to Coldwcll landed the ball on the five-yard line, when Pep went over with it. Woodman kicked the goal as the whistle blew. In the second half Somerville scored right away. Somerville gained ground on a poor punt by Med- ford. and Garland and Forg carried the ball to the seven-yard line, when Pep” went over for the winning touchdown. The rest of the half the ball stayed about in the middle of the field, and the game closed with Bob Garland making a long gain around left end.

Somerville made her distance, but lost the ball on an onside kick. Tech made her distance twice, and then punted. Gar- land ran the punt back, and was stopped with but one man between him and a touchdown. Somer- ville could not gain, and the half ended with Tech holding the ball in the middle of the field. Tech received the kickoff, but soon punted to I'arks. Somerville was penalized, and then Tech punted, after marking her distance. Somerville tried a forward, but failed, and Tech punted.

Waltham brought down a crowd of rooters and a band, and every available space in the field was taken. Somer- ville showed great team work, and outclassed Waltham in every point in the game. Waltham did not gain her distance once. She evidently played for fumbles, but the ball was handled cleanly. Waltham won the toss, and chose to receive the kickoff. Stankard ran the ball back about twenty yards. Waltham could not gain, and punted to Garland, who ran the ball back ten yards. Diekerman made a good gain, but fumbled, and Evans fell on the ball. Waltham, after two tries at the line, punted. Garland went through the Waltham team for a touchdown, but it was not allowed, as he went offside, and the ball was brought back. Garland. Diekerman. and Cousens advanced steadily. Somerville plowed down the field until a forward pass was tried, which was illegal. Somerville punted, and Smith was nailed in his tracks by Forg. Waltham punted, after trying to rush the ball. Waltham got the ball on an onside kick, but had to punt. Somer- ville was penalized and punted. Waltham punted again, and then Somerville tried a forward pass, which failed. Again Waltham punted, and Som- erville started the plays that scored the first touchdown. Parks tried an onside kick, and the ball went to Waltham, who fumbled, Cousens fall- ing on the ball. Two plunges gained two yards, and then Cousens went the entire distance and made a touchdown. Parks punted out to Garland, but Woodman failed to kick the goal. End of first half. Waltham kicked off in the second half, and Parks ran it in well. Garland added ten yards. A delayed pass made five yards, with Diekerman carrying the ball, when Somerville was penalized, and punted to Smith, who was nailed in his tracks. An interchange of punts left the ball on the fifteen- yard line, and Waltham punted to Parks. Cousens rushed the ball to the fifteen-yard line. Garland then went over for the second touchdown. Wood- man kicked the goal. Forg nailed Howler on the kickoff, and Waltham punted. Pierce blocked it, but Waltham recovered and punted again. Garland ran the ball in twenty-five yards, and Cousens gained eight yards more. Cousens was then taken out. l’ob Garland replacing him. P ob Garland on the next play made a touchdown. Woodman failed to kick the goal. Somerville got the ball on a fumble, and Garland was thrown back for a loss. A forward pass was tried, but Stankard stopped it. and Pob Garland gathered it in and made a touchdown, with half the Waltham team hanging on. Woodman kicked the goal. Somerville played safe the rest of the game. A goal from placement was tried, but failed. When the whistle blew Somerville had the ball on the twenty-five-yard line. Then followed a celebration such as was never before seen in Somerville. The line-up:— SC )MER T LLE. W A LTII AM. Forg. l.e....................r.e., Evans (Filson) Coldwell. l.t................r.t..

What was conceded an easy victory turned out to be a hard-fought game. Dorchester’s heavy line held Somerville at all times. Although Somerville scored one touchdown, it was illegal, as a Somerville man was offside. The Garland brothers and Cousens played a fine game. In the first half Somerville threatened Dorchester’s goal several times, but did not score. In the second half neither goal was in danger. The line-up fol- lows :— SOMERVILLE. DORCHESTER.

M3 52 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS Christmas That beautiful season, Christmas, with its glad tidings and mysterious charm, is here. How cheerily we shall greet dear old Santa Claus again! At the mere mention of his name, one sees in- stantly bundles, glittering candles, and hears squeals of delight. Many and varied are the thoughts that the ap- proach of Christmas arouses. Is our home circle complete this Yuletide? The answer will brighten or sadden the rich and humble alike. Christmas to the wanderer brings thoughts of home, for from his childhood days these two words have been linked in fond association. It is the season of family reunions. If the circle be complete, all is well, but if it be not, never is the absent one missed more. “(jive ' is the password, and our Christmas spirit suggests presents and surprises. What pleasure is greater than that of giving joy to others? Little children (and big ones) hang up their stockings, for with the feeling of anticipation goes the sense of profound mystery. Father Christmas wishes happiness for his people, but he has his own peculiar way of dispensing it to them. Little Freddie realizes the need of being espe- cially good at this time, and perhaps some of his older sisters and brothers are susceptible to this uplifting influence. Santa Claus is real to every stout Christian, for he is impersonated in the Christmas spirit. The happiest, merriest family groups are those in which the children believe in Santa and the older people delight in ■‘pretendin’.'’ So here's to the home circle, to the joys of giv- ing. the anticipation, the mystery, and all that makes the true Christmas spirit! Rich or poor, let us cherish this ideal, and join Tiny Tim in say- ing: “God bless us every one!” L. jfootball The result of the Rindgc game was a great dis- appointment to a large number of people. The papers said that Rindge was disappointed in fail- ing to run up a large score. This is hard to be- lieve. but that the disappointment of the Somer- ville supporters was sincere there can be no doubt. They were disappointed, not so much that Somer- ville was forced to be contented with an 0-0 score —for all agree that the wearers of the Red and Line played their best possible game—but chiefly that Somerville failed to gain the championship of the Interscholastic League. Does the Rindge game offer another case where Somerville failed to come up to expecta- tions? We do not think so. Neither do we agree with those who declare indiscriminately that Somerville ought to have beaten Rindge. But we do believe that Somerville ought to have won the Interscholastic League championship for 1009. Why. then, with first-class material, good coach- ing. and good support, did our team, this year above all others, fail? The answer is found in a single word: Overconfidence. Few people, after seeing Somerville wade through the much-vaunted Waltham team, dreamed that the same eleven, a week later, would be held to a scoreless tie by the comparatively weak Dorchester team. Yet this is what did hap- pen. and it was unquestionably the result of over- confidence. acquired from the easy victory over Waltham. Thus, much as we would have liked to beat Rindge, it is well to remember that it was really Somerville's failure to win from Dorchester that lost her the championship of the Inter- scholastic League. We go to press too soon to learn the result of Somerville's protest of the Rindge game, but it can in no way change the lesson to be derived from the effects of overconfidence as shown above. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 53 The cheering at the R. M. T. S. game, from a Somerville standpoint, was a dismal failure. Our cheer leaders apparently tried hard to arouse en- thusiasm. but their efforts met with so little re- sponse that they finally gave up in disgust. There were flashes of enthusiasm, but for the most part the cheering was disorganized, and contrasted poorly with the well-executed cheers from the Rbulge stands. The trouble seemed to be that sections E, E, G. and H. the original cheering sections, were filled largely by older people and by women, the undergraduates being so few and far between that their efforts at united cheering were wasted. Perhaps in the future it would be a good plan to sell tickets for the cheering sec- tions to undergraduates only, each undergraduate being limited to one ticket. This would insure a solid mass of rooters, and would make the cheer leaders task a much easier one. r v r, r The post-season game with Everett proved to be one of the most thrilling contests ever seen on Broadway Field,—a contest in which the spec- tator was kept in suspense as to the final result until the very last second of play. It was a hard game for Everett to lose, but a glorious game for Somerville to win, for although she was outrushed, her quickness to take advantage of her opponent’s mistakes and her magnificent defence in the very shadow of her own goal-line were worthy of victory. Everett High undergraduates turned out in large numbers, atid they gave the greatest ex- hibition of organized cheering ever heard in this city. The mighty ovations which they tendered their two star players, Sawyer and Captain Prick- ley. after each had made a touchdown, were good to hear. The Everett game was a fitting climax to a sea- son of surprises and disappointments. '1 he sea- son was really one of the most successful Somer- ville ever had, for although she lost the Inter- scholastic League championship, she was un- beaten. and on the face of this record rightfully de- serves the championship of Greater Boston, if not of Massachusetts. 'lUintcr Sports With the close of the football season, followers of Somerville High sports are not left stranded, by any means, as the High School is represented this winter in two branches of athletics, basket ball and hockey. Although a comparatively new sport in high school circles, basket ball is fast coming into favor, and by many is considered even more exciting than football. Last year was Somerville’s initial appearance on the basket ball court, but the sea- son proved a brilliant success, the Red and Blue winding up with a post-season victory over Mel- rose High, which gave them the championship of Greater Boston. The prospects for another win- ning team this year are very bright. Three of last year's championship five arc still in school, and there is also much promising material in the foot- ball squad. The home games will be played in the V. M. C. A. hall, and the majority will be held in the evening. Like every other sport, basket ball must be supported. Manager Greenwood has been to considerable trouble and expense in se- curing a suitable hall, and he tells us that unless the games arc well attended, basket ball as a school sport will not be authorized another year. To insure the continuance of the game, it’s up to the student body to show some school spirit bv turning out regularly to all contests played on the home floor. Hockey has had a rather broken existence in the annals of Somerville High School athletics, but Manager Davis and Captain Donahue will en- deavor to place the sport on a permanent basis this year. Captain Donahue has a good nucleus from last year’s team, and his chief trouble will be to find two good players available for forward positions. Practice will be held regularly as soon as the first ice appears, and we understand that the home games will be played either on Broad- way Field or the clay pits, according to the con- dition of the ice. Manager Davis has arranged an unusually attractive schedule, including a game with Pomfrct at Pomfret, Ct. There will be no admission fee to the home games, and the team should never lack a goodly number of loyal rooters. 54 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Ifn Search of Santa Glaus By? iDargaret Xtncoln, X., Ti OHNNY had come tx) the conclusion that something must be done. His mother had said that there wasn’t much money, and that there couldn't be any Christmas tree, and then she had cried, so Johnny began to think up a scheme by which mother wouldn't have to work, and there would be plenty of money for a Christmas tree, and presents, and all .sorts of beautiful things. It was the day before Christmas, and just as soon as his mother was safely out of the house, Johnny put on his hat and coat and mittens, and strutted out of the house on his mysterious er- rand. lie had told her that there would be a “s’prisc” for her before night, so he must be very careful not to let her guess his wonderful plan. Johnny walked down in the direction of Fifth avenue, where Susan, a little twelve-year-old girl in the next apartment, who sometimes took him out to walk, had told him that all the “grand people lived. As he walked, he eagerly scanned the faces of the passers-by, for Johnny was look- ing for no less a personage than Santa Claus; for his plan was to meet that gentleman and to ask him for some money, perhaps about $50, he thought, and then mother wouldn’t ever have to work again or cry, and there’d be Christmas trees on Christmas eve every year for ever and ever. However, as Johnny wandered on he didn’t seem to recognize the genial face of Santa Claus among the throngs of people, so lie concluded to inquire his way. Just then he saw a newsboy, so he stopped him and gravely asked if he could tell him where Mr. Santa Claus could be found. The newsboy stared blankly for a moment, and then winked knowingly. “Say. kiddo,” he remarked confidentially, “it’s a dead secret, an’ I ain't s’posed to give it away, but if you'll never let on T told—well, he lives right up there in that house!’’ Johnny gasped with surprise and delight, stam- mered his thanks, and bolted for the house, even forgetting to be afraid of the huge lions that guarded the doors, so great was his haste, and de- manded to see Mr. Santa Claus. For once in the long history of his service the butler who opened the door was completely taken by surprise, and so far unbent his frigid dignity as to roar with laughter. Such an extraordinary proceeding on the part of an old and trusted ser- vant brought to the door a gentleman who was passing through the hall. Then, after various questions, explanations, and on Johnny's part some tears, which he tried very manfully to con- trol. that young man found himself being helped off with his coat and offered a chair before the big open fire, quite as if he were a big man, instead of a very little youngster of five. Then the gentleman spoke. “Now. sonny, he said. “I'm awfully sorry I'm not the gentleman you’re looking for. but I'm not. nor any relation to him. but maybe I could help you, if you’d just tell me your woes. What’s your name, young man?” “Johnny’s my name,” said the young man. “My really truly name’s John, but they all call me Johnny.” I see,” said his new friend gravely. “Well, Johnny, my name’s Whitney. James Whitney.’’ Suddenly it occurred to him that Johnny might he lost. What's your mother’s name?” he asked. “Muvver’s name?” Johnny pondered. He had never thought about muvver’s” having a name. Why. it's jus' ‘Muvver.’ I guess,” he said finally. 'I see,” said Mr. Whitney again, this time a little more gravely than before. Flow about your father?” I haven't any favver. Muvver says I had one once, but he went away to heaven long time ago when we lived in Boston.” I used to live in Boston.” said Mr. Whitney. It's a pretty nice old town. You don't know your father’s name, do you? Perhaps I knew him. • “Course I know his name,” said Johnny proudly. It’s same as mine. His name was John Lawrence Hamilton, an’-------” Mr. Whitney jumped out of his chair so sud- denly that Johnny was frightened. “What did you say your father’s name was?” he said sharply. “I—I think I’ve heard that name before.” Just then the butler appeared, he announced. “A lady, sir, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 A lady? What's her name, Giles?” “She wouldn’t give 'cr name, sir.” said Giles, “but she says as ’ow a newsboy told 'er that 'c saw a little boy going in here, and she thinks----” ■‘I'll see her,” interrupted Mr. Whitney. “Rut she says, sir----” began Giles. “Never mind what she says,” thundered Mr. Whitney. He grasped Johnny by the hand, pushed the bewildered Giles aside, and hurried into the hall. He looked and Johnny looked, and then Johnny cast himself upon his mother. But for once mother didn't respond to her son’s embraces. She. too. was looking at Mr. Whitney. Then Mr. Whitney said “Mary!” and held out his arms, and Johnny stared in amazement at the curious spec- tacle of his mother and an utterly strange old gentleman laughing, and crying, and talking all at once in each other’s arms, and Giles the butler suddenly developed a bad cold in his head, and hurried down stairs to tell the servants that “Miss Mary has came back!’’ And then, in all Johnny's short life there was never such a wonderful afternoon. The big limousine, which spun them from store to store, and the wreaths, the candy, and the flowers, and the mysterious packages that were huddled into that automobile! And then, back again; but instead of going home to the dingy apartment house, it was back to Mr. Whitney's home. And what an evening! Was there ever such a Christmas tree, or such presents? Oh. it was fairyland! Then came the next day, Christmas Day. More good times, more presents, and then, after the most remarkable dinner that Johnny had ever eaten in his short life, they went back before the big open fire and talked it all over. Mother looked so beautiful that Johnny hardly knew her, and Mr. Whitney beamed till he could beam no more, and then Johnny, sitting in his lap. made an important discovery. “Just fink!” he announced. “If I hadn’t runned away and tried to find Santa Claus yesterday, we wouldn't any of us free people be laughing an’ having Merry Christmas now. An’ if I hadn’t runned away and come down here. I never would have a really truly drandpa!” Cbc Christmas Spirit JG ? dbabcl 3f.

Hones Peterson, i£.t TO in M- was an ideal day for a football game, as the sky was somewhat overcast, and no wind was blowing to hinder the players. To me, however, the outlook was not so promising. I was a freshman University, and was anxious to attend the game with C------University with my chum at school. Rut fate was against me. Molly, niv sister, just turned sixteen, had nearly coaxed me to death for the past few weeks to take her to the game. At last I had been forced to consent. It was twelve o’clock, and the game was scheduled at three. I had been discussing the chances of our winning with Bob, my chum, and had just returned home for dinner. I had no sooner entered the dining-room, when in walked Molly, all togged out in her best clothes, her Gainsborough on her head, and half a dozen sleeve bands, pins, and banners of M-----University fas- tened upon her. “Aren’t you ready. Art? Why, we’ll never get there! 1 always like to see the beginning of any- thing, or I don't know what the end of it is about. Do hurry, or we'll surely be late!” was her pleading. I could not keep from laughing. Wasn’t it just like a girl to get ready three hours before an event took place? I assured her we had plenty of time, but I had hardly eaten a mouthful when Molly left the house. She was too impatient to wait any longer, so I had to hurry after her, and together we walked to the field. Arrived at the field, the first thing Molly did was to see if there were any more Gainsboroughs and what the styles were. Just like a girl again! Molly, seeing a woman with a fur coat, thought of her own, and nothing would suffice but that I should procure it. (Luckily for me we lived near the field.) Now the game had commenced. The quarter- back. Ostcnd by name, made a wonderful run. and gained quite a few yards for us. Of course Molly didn’t care about that. All she knew was that Ostcnd was a dark-haired chap, well built, and rather good looking. Molly was fair, and, believ- ing in the theory of opposites, was attracted towards Ostcnd at the very start. Anything that happened she thought took place because of him. Oh. Art! Look at ‘Shorty!’ (meaning Os- tend). The dear! Can’t lie run, though! I never thought any one could run like that I Aren't they mean? They tripped him on purpose. ()h. they arc sitting on him now! What a wicked shame! These were Mollic's ejaculations on the first touchdown. Molly wanted to go under the sideline ropes and be a champion to Ostend’s cause, but I held her back and tried to explain that it was only part of the game to have the other fellows fall upon him, and that lie wasn’t injured in the least. We had hardly become settled again before- another touchdown was made. From my explana- tions I thought Molly would have understood the game by this time, but instead she burst forth: Wasn’t that dreadful, Art? Ostcnd is down again with the football! What's the use of tell- ing a girl anything about football? The first half was now over, the score being 11-0. in our favor. The interval was spent in ex- plaining further points of the game to Molly, and then the second half commenced. Another touchdown was made, this time bv the right tackle. Clarkson. .He dragged half a dozen of (’----University players over the goal line, and was loudly cheered. What Molly thought was that she would be glad to marry a man as strong as he. Once again the spirit of a girl! No more scoring was done, and M-------Univer- sity was the victor. The players retired from the field wrapped in red blankets. Here Molly again broke in: “Aren't those quilts cute! Rather bright, but the color effect is good. I suppose the ‘couch,’ or coach, or whatever you call him, doesn’t want them to catch cold.” No remark by me. My patience was exhausted. I was only too glad to take Molly home, and. once there, I vowed: “Never again!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 tLbc IBomecomtng 36v? Xconarft B. iRice, X., T2 HE cold Nebraska sun had just sunk beneath the horizon, leaving the patch of sky on the mountain sky- line, a bright, glowing crimson, when a man. tramping through the deep snow of the path leading to his ■cabin, with a heavy pack of skins on his back, sud- denly stopped, and cried out, as if at a sudden thought: My God! it is—to-morrow is Christmas! As he trudged on again, his shoulders and his whole body shook as with sobs. lie turned a bend in the road and came in sight of his cabin, a low. roughly-built log structure, situated in the wild forests of Nebraska. He swung open the door of the cabin and entered. The little shelter contained but one room, which served as sleeping room, dining-room, and kitchen in one. At the farthest side of the cabin from the door was an open fireplace, with a long, black crane swinging over the irons. This fireplace was the trappers only comfort in his lonely home. The trapper threw his pack into one corner, and lighted the fire in the fireplace, removed his fur hat and his heavy sweater, stood his ritic in the corner, and finally dropped upon the settle in front of the fire. He buried his head in his hands, deep in thought. Was it only one year ago to-night that he had sat upon this same settle with his wife beside him? And was it but a year ago that they had laughed like little children and hung up their stockings over this same fireplace? Was it only a year ago that lie had trudged to the village and received the box of presents for his wife that had come from the city, and had sneaked them into the house like a child? Then, during the month be- fore Christmas, whenever he had come into the house, she would be smuggling something away underneath her apron. And then, finally, Christmas. Oh. what a beautiful day that had been for them! They had a Christmas tree which he had cut in the forest, and on it Christmas morning he had found a heavy, warm, woollen sweater, the very one that he was wearing to-day. And then, oh, God! and then that smooth- tongued stranger had come to their door, half- frozen. and had asked admittance. They had given him of their Christmas cheer, and lie had stayed for a week. Then, on getting up one morn- ing. the trapper had found a note on the table say- ing that his wife had gone off with the stranger. And now—now lie would have to spend his Christmas alone—alone ! It began to get dark presently, and the trapper threw more wood on the fire, the flames sending a dull glow through the room. Darker and darker grew the night, the wind howled weirdly, and inside the cabin the trapper still sat upon the settle, with his head in his hands. The little clock on the mantelpiece registered midnight, and still the trapper pondered. Once he fancied he heard sleighbells, but he thought that he must be mis- taken, for no one would venture out on such a night. It was 1 2.30 by the little clock when the trapper heard a noise at the door. He arose from the settle, walked to the door, and threw it open. A woman was standing outside dressed from head to foot in furs. The light from the fire was very dim, and the trapper could not sec her face, but never- theless he asked her to enter. She entered, and, walking across the room, stood in front of the fire, with her back to him. Then suddenly she turned, and. Jack! she cried, and in a moment she was in his arms. 'I'lie Christmas morning sun rose over the mountains, and as it rose it saw a trapper with an axe over his shoulder walking swiftly along, hunt- ing for the finest tree in the forest. (5 5« SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Xoutse Morton's Christmas 36 : ©avion jf. IDon ale, IE., TO a tiny, cheerless room on the sixth '’'✓Jvjfj- 1 floor of a New York tenement house a woman sat shivering by a bed on which lay a child. An old lamp on a table near by threw a dingy glare over his pale face. He had been tossing about all night, but now. as the clocks of the city were about to strike the hour of midnight, he was falling into a heavier slumber. They were not watching for Santa Claus, or dreaming of the pleasures and the feast of the coming day. The child had no memory of Christmas gifts and Christinas joys, but the mother, as she sat there alone, thought of her own childhood and of each merry Christmas which she, as a child, had spent in her father's cheerful home. A few years later they had spoken of her. Louise Morton, as the most beautiful debutante of the season, and the next year, as the charming wife of Winton Holworthy, the wealthy and brilliant leader of the younger set. It was quietly whis- pered. too. that Holworthy seemed a trifle fast and wild, and that he lost large sums of money. •However.' they had said, “these slight faults can easily be overlooked: they belong to his youth, and then, the Holworthys are very aristocratic, and Winton already has a fair fortune in his own right. Perhaps the Mortons and the Holworthys will be better friends now than in the past. Truly, Louise Morton is very fortunate. Think of her social position now!” As Louise heard these words again in her thought, she smiled bitterly. Her social position, indeed! Where was it now? Six years had been sufficient time for these slight, youthful faults,” encouraged and fostered as they were, to become alarming, and as luck always seemed to be against her husband, it was not long before his fortune was in the hands of other men. And now their names were never mentioned, very few knew of them, and those who did know mentioned them only as a warning to their own sons. Louise never heard of her own family, except from one of the old servants, who visited her occasionally, for her father had bitterly opposed her marriage with 1 lol worthy. Matters had gone from bad to worse until a month ago Winton Holworthy had died in this room, leaving his wife with barely enough money to bury him, and none to pay the rent of the dingy little room for more than a few weeks. Louise's pale face became even whiter, and tears came to her eyes as she thought that the approaching morning might bring the agent for the rent, and she would be turned out of even this room, which at least furnished shelter for her sick child. For a week lie had been ill. and deep in her heart the mother could not even hope to see him well again. As she thought of her loneliness, were he to be taken from her, she dropped on her knees bv the bedside, and as he stirred drew him close to her, listening for every breath and every heart-beat. Just as that icy. gray morning broke in the east, and the distant sound of reviving life from far below in the street began to rise to her cars, the child stirred and opened his eyes. “Mamma,” was all he whispered, and he smiled faintly. Then he closed his eyes, and all was still in tlie room. Even the mother's heart stopped for a moment, and then again she felt it throb with pain. Mr. Morton and his wife had been unusually sad and depressed this Christmas Day. as they thought of the one who always in the past had made the day such a happy one. A strange premonition of evil seemed to fill them as they lingered at the table after the Christmas dinner was over. The text, so often repeated, which they had heard that morning, “Peace on earth, good will toward men. came back again and again to their minds. Good will toward men. Suddenly Mr. Morton broke the silence. I wonder where she is, he said. I overheard Nora speaking of her this morn- ing: I believe she knows,” his wife replied. “It seems scarcely right to wait longer. We've suffered enough, surely, and perhaps she has. She was foolish, but perhaps we shouldn’t have expected anything better of her,” he said, adding, with a smile, “you were very foolish, too, my dear.” Not long after, the ragged urchins of A-------- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 street were surprised to see a large motor car driven swiftly around the corner and stopped be- fore the worst building of all. ‘‘Is it possible that Louise lives here? Mrs. Morton thought, as she climbed the narrow, dark stairway covered with mud from scores of boots. She would be glad when Louise went down for the last time. On they climbed, until at the top of the fifth flight of stairs they found themselves in a dingy hallway, fracing it through numerous windings, they reached a door and rapped. No answer came. After knocking several times. Mr. Morton put his hand on the knob. The door was un- locked. He pushed it open a little way. A dingy lamp, whose light had gone out. stood by the bedside, but now a single sunbeam fell over the golden hair of a woman kneeling by the bed, and rested warm and bright n the cold, white face of a fair-haired child. B flbcculiar Christmas Gift .16 ? Carl W. liMllcr, 'll was the last day of school previous to the .Christmas vacation, and the mas- ter was giving his final instructions. To me. he was saying, ‘‘these pro- longed vacations at Christmastide have always seemed unnecessary loafing limes for young and vigorous people whose only troubles and cares arc such as collect in our schoolroom. I have made several attempts to shorten this period without success, owing to the misdirected concern for your health on the part of the school board. The only definite result which I can see in this forced idleness is a lessening of discipline from which it takes several weeks for you to recover, and a loss of much knowledge which I have painstakingly instilled in your minds through many a dreary week. In order to lessen as much as possible these disastrous results. I shall give you a moderately hard task to accomplish during your long rest. The next 100 lines of Virgil arc com- paratively easy, and you may take them for your next lesson. You are dismissed. Imagine the storm of indignation that arose from the scholars when once they had passed be- yond the keen ears and sharp eyes of the master! I say. fellows, it's a shame to soak us with such a lesson, when we should be enjoying ourselves, said Walter Sharpe, with a disgusted shake of his head. Isn't there some way wc can get even?” Get even with him! ejaculated his chum, Al- bert Stone, did you ever see any one get even with him without getting himself into a peck of trouble in the bargain? Well, I think we might find some way if we try hard enough. concluded Walter, after a moment’s pause, lie thinking of it, anyhow. Hereupon the boys separated, each going to his own home and to a night of wakefulness, while planning all manner of revenge on the tyrant. The next day they met, and Walter unfolded a scheme which had taken form in his brain during the night. You know that ugly bull-pup which my uncle gave me a few months ago? He’s get- ting crosser and crosser every day. and father says I must get rid of him somehow. Nobody will take him. and I hate to kill the poor animal. What do you say to presenting him to old Job? How?” ‘‘W hen.''” Who'll do it?” were a few of the questions which were poured on the young schemer after he had made this astonishing pro- posal. He answered all with a knowing wink, and invited them to be present Christmas eve. when he would take on himself the delivery of the gift. The schoolhouse was named as the rendezvous, and on the evening before Christmas there might be seen ten or a dozen closely-muffled forms silently making their way from the schoolhouse to the teacher’s residence. One of them carried in his arms a still more closely-muffled dog, with a Christmas card tied to his collar, bearing this in- scription : A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Mr. Job Hamilton from his friends.” 'Hie dog was duly deposited on Mr. Hamilton's doorstep, and the bell rung. The boys scattered in all directions, leaving Walter the difficult task of keeping the dog quiet until the right moment. 6o SOM ERVI LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR That moment was not long in coming, and Walter had scarcely time to dodge behind the steps, when the door was thrown open and a gruff voice in- quired whom he had the honor of receiving at that unseasonable hour. The dog was cold, and took this inquiry as an invitation to enter, and accord- ingly sneaked in between the legs of the astonished pedagogue. Job Hamilton was not quite sure what kind of an animal had invaded his sanctum, but nevertheless thought it wise to venture a kick at the hapless brute. The kick was well aimed, but his judgment was poor, for an ugly bull-pup is the last thing in the world to take such an insult with equanimity, and the tussle which ensued was one such as Job Hamilton’s rheumatic frame had not engaged in for many a long day. Hut if the dog was fierce, the man was still angrier, and the struggle could have but one result—defeat for the poor pup—and he was finally lifted bodily from the floor by his legs and thrown into a closet for the night. The mixup ended as disastrously for the schoolmaster’s temper as for his trousers, which had been sadly mutilated in the encounter, and after he had scrutinized the Christmas card, which now for the first time he discovered around the dog’s neck, his rage knew no bounds. He soon after retired, vowing vengeance on the un- fortunate dog and the hapless mortals who had presented him. For a time he could not sleep, but after laying plans for the destruction of the dog and the punishment of his pupils, he dropped into a self-satisfied slumber. He woke some time later with a start. A low whine reached his ears. Then he remembered the dog, and turned grimly to get some more sleep. Hut the whine haunted him. He heard it again and again, and finally in desperation he leaped from his bed and went to the closet to quiet the pup. The animal was curled up in a corner, whin- ing pitifully, homesick and lonesome, a sight that would inspire compassion in any heart. Even Job Hamilton, so unused to the gentler emotion, could not help feeling touched. At sight of him. the dog leaped up, wagging his tail and giving short yelps to show his satisfaction at the attention showed him. The schoolmaster was a man more respected than loved, by animals as well as men, and the con- fidence shown in him by the little animal shamed him when he thought of his determination to put him out of the way in the morning. Then, for the first time in his memory when he had paid any at- tention to an animal other than by a kick or a poke, he stooped and petted the puppy. Hut he was still tired out, and after quieting the (log, lie went back to his chamber, and. to his own surprise, permitted the dog to accompany him and to spend the night on his bed. When he awoke the next morning, it was with a feeling that the affair was not quite so bad as it had at first seemed, and he no longer felt so angry toward the boys. Still more surprising, lie had a feeling, though he would not admit it even to himself, of something like affection for the dog at his feet. At any rate, he decided not to put him out of the way that day, and as the time passed all desire of the kind passed from his mind. Strange to say, the dog returned the affection he had inspired in the man. and athough previously noted for his ill- temper. he no longer showed it except on certain dark, cold nights, when, approaching his new home, he would often growl and bark, as if he re- membered the circumstances of his first coming. « « It was the second day of January, and the first session of school after the Christmas vacation had drawn to a close. The master arose from his seat, and said with a significant glance that he would be very much pleased to have the company of Walter Sharpe for a few minutes after school. 'Hie rest might consider themselves excused. Walter, who had spent the day with a rather guilty feeling deep in his heart, presented himself at the master’s desk after the others had withdrawn, with no great de- gree of calmness. “Sharpe, you have a dog. have you not?” inter- rogated the master. “Well—er—no. I did have one, but I had to get rid of him.” “Oh. yes. I see. Would you mind telling me how you got rid of him?” “Why, I—er—gave him to a friend.” “I see,” said the teacher, with a suspicious twinkle in his eye. I suppose I am too inquisi- tive; anyway. I have recently become the pos- sessor of a dog. and. knowing that you had kept one, I thought that I would inquire a little about the license, which 1 suppose is necessary, and the best food to give him. I have had so little to do with dogs that I know practically nothing about it.” Walter’s jaw dropped for an instant, but his equanimity soon returned, and after giving the re- quired information, lie left the building with some- what of a feeling that either the professor or he himself had been most decidedly “sold.” Which it really was. he has never been able to decide. SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 Anemones B } BEulab Sias, IS., 10 It is dusk, and the dreary rain beats against the windows of a beautiful mansion, situated on the top of one of Xew Hampshire's hills. It stands alone, and apart from any other house, a place in which no one would care to live unless it should be an old person, whose years of neighborly feeling have long since departed. An old gentleman, whose military stature is very apparent, is seated in front of a fireplace, where the embers are glowing brightly. Time seems to have laid her share of wrinkles on his noble face, and his dejected attitude at once suggests some romance of by-gone years. He rises, and from an old-fashioned desk he takes a yellow letter written in faded ink. so faded, in fact, that one can hardly read the words, except, perhaps, one who knows its contents by heart, with every detail written in letters of red on his soul. He returns to his chair, to read, perhaps for the last time:— “Dear Jim: Perhaps you wonder why 1 broke my word, and I can see your noble frame cringe under those cruel words in the paper. I feel no explanation can quite make clear what my heart suggests. When I told you I would marry you after your deed of great valor, I meant it from the innermost depths of my heart. ... I can dwell no more on that. ... I returned home to view the depths of poverty under which my five sisters and my sickly mother were striving to live. . . . Another vision floats before my eyes, which even your face cannot blur. That is the vision of Jack Gray, repulsive to me. but able to give com- fort to my sisters and perhaps health to my mother. I think of his carefully groomed figure, and stylish manner, and compare them with yours, dear old Jim. What an impression that compari- son makes upon me! An impression to live for- ever burned upon the depths of my soul! “My mind is made up. Jim. You know the proverb. ‘ beggars should not be choosers.’ This accounts for my marriage with Jack. It hurts, oh, how it hurts to say this! Good-by. Jim. “Mercia.” He reads the letter and from the envelope he takes a little paper clipping: burial of Mrs. Jack Gray, at her beautiful home,----------Street, New York City, X. Y.” The paper is dated two days back. I know I will see her soon.” he says, and his head falls forward on his breast; but the smile on his lips gives proof that this is the happiest moment of his life since the writing of that letter. llmpresstons of tbe {Terminal By? jf.

Several girls are kept constantly busy at the news stands and the soda fountains, attending to the demands of the hurrying public. Officials of the road, their clerks and stenog- raphers. are busily at work nearby, unconscious of the hurry-scurry about them. Occasionally the monotony of the place is broken bv a breakdown, an arrest, or even by a band of jubilant college boys, who are putting some Freshies through a course of stunts. As a rule, however, there is no break in the order of things during the whole day. The crowds come and go. as do the noisy elevated trains; the ding-ding of the surface cars is heard far into the night, and still the office clerks work placidly on, oblivious to all. 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Zhc Daliant Captain By? iDarflucrite Stevens, X.t no A talc I’ll tell of long ago. The moral of which will plainly show; If you listen well. I’ll warrant you Will agree that men like Judd arc few. In seventeen hundred and ninety-three Good Captain Judd sailed the Spanish sea, With a cargo of butter, and eggs, and cheese Lor the folks in Spain who had none of these. As he sailed along on a warm spring day, lie spied a vessel not far away: Alert and startled, he looked abaft, And said to himself: It’s a pirate craft!” lie called his men—a cowardly crew— And told them what he already knew; The ship with its inky Hag on high Was all too swiftly drawing nigh. Their fear and alarm to panic turned, They murmured the prayers in childhood learned, For they only numbered twenty-four. And the other ship held many more. In the rush of wind and rattle of ropes. In the dashing waters, they drowned their hopes. As they saw the robber vessel near. They thought of home and loved ones dear. I hit Captain Judd was a valiant man, And shrewd withal—for he began To quiet their terror with words, indeed, Which showed them how they might proceed. “Come, lads! he cried, come quick below! I'or I’ve a scheme I now will show By which we’ll fool the fighting men. Though they outnumber us one to ten. Take up the butter, fresh and sweet,— 'Twill trap the pirates’ unwary feet; We’ll smear the deck from stern to bow, And prove our British wit. I'll vow. And when they board the Nancy Jane, They’ll find their loss instead of gain. Enough, my hearties, swift to work! Never a man of us must shirk! Ay! ay!” they cried, we'll do your will. We'll show them England's living still.” The tubs of butter, yellow, gleaming, ()n burning decks were melted, streaming. As every minute tied apace. They smeared another shining place. And none too soon the deed was done; The pirates came,—and then the fun. As each one tried to board the boat, A rush, a splash, a man afloat! I’or as he’d try to leap the railing. He’d join his comrades, madly wailing. The rail with grease was polished well; He barely touched it ere lie fell. 'I hough some there were who leaped it quickly, ()n striking deck, they struck it thickly. The pirate captain cursed and swore (A habit we must all deplore), But such a trick aroused his ire. So hurled he imprecations dire. I’ntil good Captain Judd cried: Hold! If I do not make out too bold. You came this way to rob and pillage Our dairy stores from Durham Village, And though we have the laugh on you, We now demand some money, too. This butter was meant for sale in Spain, And not for defence upon the main. So, if you please,—now don’t refuse.— I want its value, our just dues. And since we’ve welcomed you this way, I trust you won’t forget this day.” Then Captain Pirate stroked his chin. And said: ”Audacity, you win; Your daring to address me so Proves you to be a worthy foe. I’ll pay your price, whate’er it be, You might have done the same for me.” I’ll write no more, my story’s done, You’ll guess the rest ere set of sun. My moral—well, just look and find it, For stupid folks I’ve emphasized it. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 63 NOTES TO Andrew F. Handley. Class Editor. Stuart B. Foster, Assistant.

Every department is com- plete, and the book is splendidly illustrated. The staff artist is very talented, and his drawings can- not be too highly praised. The literary depart- ment, too, deserves credit. School Life, Melrose, contains a very amusing personal column, which brightens the paper much. Teetho, achere, pulli, falsum.—Ex. The Dome would be much improved by more stories. Can’t you brighten up vour paper a little? There is so little of general interest in it. The Tuftonian contains a bright story called “The Co-ed Hater.” An original translation: “Et puis Aenean per noctem multa volvens.” “And pious Aeneas roll- ing over many times in the night.”—Ex. The cover design of the October Spectator could be improved. What docs the design repre- sent? The paper is complete in its departments, but the print is poor. “Arma virum que cano.” “A man armed with a cane. The cover design of the High School Panorama is suggestive. The “Locals” in the Hamilton Review would be improved by the omission of the numerous '‘poems.” « • The Red and Black has two good stories, A Memory” and A Slight Misunderstanding.” The cover design of the Echo is very artistic. The editorials of the Dean Megaphone arc good. The story, “In the Depths of the Ruby Ring.” shows thought and care, but seems a little overdrawn. The ()racle needs narration. Only one story appears in the October number. The exchange column of the November Argo- naut is a little slighted. Criticisms are always an aid, and a good exchange column would be a great improvement.

November IT, from 8 to 10 o'clock. Previously this reception has included only the members of the Freshman class, but this year it was increased to include the Junior class, also. It was thought that, as the Juniors meet so many teachers new to them the third year, it would be helpful for the parents and the teachers of that class to meet. A large number attended, each teacher being surrounded nearly the whole evening by pupils anxious to introduce their parents or guardians. The orchestra, under the leadership of Charles Berg. English. MO, did excellent work, and at- tracted a large number to the hall during the even- ing. Although the Freshmen predominated, a goodly number of Juniors were present, and the evening proved to be a pleasant and profitable one to teachers, parents, and pupils alike. ■--------------------------- llMOb School Concert Club A highly successful concert was given, under the auspices of the High School Concert Club, at 11.

C, S.t 0 The game Thanksgiving Day was postponed until Saturday, and was played on a wet. slippery field. Somerville should have won by three touchdowns easily, but the officials could not see it that way. so the score was 0-0. The game was very disappointing on account of the poor work of the officials who handled the game. Somerville kicked off and held so that Rindgc was forced to punt, and Somerville returned it. O’Brien went through for seven yards, and their Rindgc punted .to Parks. On the third down Somerville made a successful onside kick, and then punted. Rindge failed to gain, and punted. A delayed pass got fifteen yards, and Rindge braced and got the ball. Somerville was penalized fifteen yards, but Ned Garland regained it. and then Som- erville punted to Rindgc’s ten-yard line, where Howard nailed the man in his tracks. Kane gained twelve yards, but Rindge was penalized fif- teen yards and punted. On Rindgc’s fifteen-yard line Somerville made four yards on two downs. A forward pass to Howard worked, and he made a touchdown, but the officials were asleep at the switch, and the ball was brought back. The rest of the half the ball zigzagged back and forth, and the ball was Somerville’s in the middle of the field when the whistle blew. The second half started with a fumble by Cousens, which gave Rindge the ball on Somer- ville’s twenty-five-yard line. O’Brien tried a goal from placement, but it was blocked, and Cousens recovered the ball. Rindgc brought the ball down near Somerville’s goal, and O’Brien tried another placement, which failed. Ned Garland punted, but slipped, and Rindge got the ball on Somerville's twenty-yard line. O’Brien tried a drop, but it was blocked by Caldwell. The ball SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 73 was fumbled, and Metivier recovered it. For the fourth time O'Brien failed to kick the goal. Somerville then started on a parade down the field, and was checked by a penalty of fifteen yards. Garland punted to Green, who fumbled, and Parks fell on the ball on Rindge’s thirty-five-yard line. Cousens gained five yards, and Forg ten more on a forward pass. Parks then tried a goal from the field, but it was blocked. Great tackling by Hen- derson forced Rindge to punt, and Parks made a sixty-five-yard run back to the thirty-yard line. A good gain by X. Garland and a forward to Forg put the goal in sight. A twenty-five-yard run by Garland put the ball behind the posts for a touchdown, but he had stepped offside on the three-yard line. The ball was brought out. and with three yards to go time was called, and Rindge received the championship. The line-up:— SOMERVILLE. RIXDGE.

Many will decide otherwise, but neverthe- less it seems to us to be a fair choice: l.e., Stankard, Waltham: l.t.. Coldwell. Somerville; l.g., W. Swart. R. M. T. S.: c., Millmore. Somerville: r.g.. Woodman. Somerville; r.t.. Anderson. Malden; r.e.. Metivier. R. M. T. S.; cpb.. T. Smith, Waltham: l.h.b.. C. Bricklcy. Everett: r.h.b., O’Brien. R. M. T. S.: f.b.. Cousens, Somerville. An examination of the all-intcrsholastic elevens chosen by the three leading papers of Boston, the Herald. Globe, and Journal, shows that Coldwell was selected by all three; Woodman by two; Forg and Pierce by one each. Somerville has made an enviable record this season. The team has played fifteen games, won twelve, and tied three, and has only been scored on three times. Therefore, with all the talk about championship teams, there is no team in the state that has played the strong teams Somerville has that can show as good a record. The hockey schedule appears in this number, but we are sorry to state that the basket ball schedule has not been fully completed. Some class to that Bricklcy boy, but not with Garland and Forg on the ends. The change when Pep” was hurt changed the tide of the game.

Seniors, you are on the last lap. You are fast reaching the final straightaway, the critical point of the race, the place where many a good race has been lost or won, where the trained athlete lets out a final spurt and distances his exhausted opponent. If you have been trailing throughout the race, make a spurt that will place you among the leaders; on the other hand, if you have held a front position thus far. don’t lag.—finish with living colors. Moreover, don’t hold back your final effort until it will avail you nothing. Now is the time to dig. Qualify for the final heat—the college course. The goal is well worth fighting for. Seniors, it’s up to you—dig! One of the innovations introduced by last year’s enterprising editor was the Letter- Box. The Letter-Box offers to the students an avenue for their written opinions on matters of school inter- est. an opportunity of placing their ideas before their fellow students, that they may read and re- flect thereon. Incidentally such communications may do some real good. For instance, in last June’s Radiator there were two contributions to the Letter-Box which contained suggestions con- cerning the Radi vtor that have since proved very helpful to this year’s staff. In this number we have a communication to the Letter-Box which ought to prove interesting to all readers. Now if you don’t agree with the writer, don't do a lot of idle talking, but sit down and write a communication in reply, in order that others may have a chance to sec your side of the question. We believe that one reason why students are loth to express their opinions in the Radiator is that they don’t quite know how to go about it. We, therefore, offer the following suggestions about writing a communication to the Letter-Box, not that we consider ourself an authority upon the subject, but because we think that what has proved beneficial in our own case may also prove helpful in the case of others: First of all. don't begin by turning your pen around in the ink-well and look- ing dreamily at a piece of paper. Thoughts don’t come that way. Sit down in a quiet place and de- cide. first, what you want to say, and. second, how you want to say it. Then pick out a good pen and a bottle of ink. and the rest is scarcely more than the mechanical writing. We arc glad to receive communications upon any subject of school or local interest. To save the department from abuse all contributions must be signed, but. at the writer's request, we will gladly refrain from printing his name. Please write on one side of paper only, and pass in on or before the fifth of the month. � 5 t We would call the attention of our readers to the report of the treasurer of the Athletic Associa- tion in this number. The account shows a tidy balance of over $8,000, which is largely due to Mr. Jones’s careful management. The association is indeed fortunate in having as capable and consci- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 8i ■entious a worker as Mr. [ones to handle its moneys. a a� a In connection with the treasurers report, it is interesting to note that practically all of the large surplus is the result of football; and judging from other years, much of this will be consumed by the losses from baseball and the minor sports. The financial basis of athletics at Somerville 1 ligh is but an example of the condition of athletics at other secondary schools and at colleges throughout the country. In general, football pa vs for itself, and even makes money, while baseball, basket ball, and other sports are invariably financial failures. If. then, as so many people at present arc agitating, football be abolished, the question naturally arises: “What will become of other scholastic sports?” This is the question which all lovers of school and college athletics must consider. Its only solu- tion seems to lie in the substitution of some other game equally popular, but that game has vet to be found. r , r The March Radiator, as in past years, will be the Alumni number. The class notes. Exchange column, and athletic news department will remain as usual, but all stories and other literarv matter will be contributed by alumni, and the alumni notes will be much more complete. We shall try to obtain contributions from alumni of long stand- ing as well as from those of recent years, thus mak- ing the issue representative of the whole body of Somerville High School graduates. We already have in view articles from some of our most promi- nent alumni, and. all in all. the number should prove one of the most interesting of the year, to graduate and undergraduate alike. Of course it is impossible for us to reach all the alumni, and we ask the co-operation of our readers in soliciting both contributions and subscriptions for this num- ber from their graduate friends. All contribu- tions should be forwarded to the editor on or be- fore the first of March. Alumni wishing to sub- scribe for one or more copies of the March Radia- tor must order in advance in order that we may be prepared to meet the demand. The manage- ment will send a Radiator, postpaid, to any ad- dress in the United States for the regular price, ten cents. •� r. In view of the fact that Somerville won the basketball championship of Greater Boston last winter, it seems doubly strange that the very next season the game should be in danger of dying out through lack of interest. Things have come to a pretty pass when, out of over 1,800 students, there arc but thirty or forty who feel able to spare the time and the fifteen cents to see a game. Where’s the school spirit you showed in the football sea- son? Go to one of the games and you’ll be sur- prised to find how much excitement the sport af- fords. Wake up. fellows! Are you going to al- low the Athletic Association to drop basket ball from the list of school sports owing to the lack of enthusiasm on YOUR part? Think it over. K v� r We are glad to see that debating, which has had a rather broken existence here, is being renewed this winter with every prospect of success. The English High School Debating Society has been formed in the English School, and its membership to date is over forty, with many more soon to join. The most encouraging feature of all is that a de- bate with another school has already been ar- ranged. On Friday (to-morrow) evening. January 21. at eight o’clock, the club will debate at Malden with the Malden High School Literarv Society on the question: Resolved, That the United States Senators Should Be Elected Directly bv the Vot- ers.” Somerville will uphold the affirmative, and will be represented by Messrs. Lipshires and Cole, English School. 1010 and 1911. respectively, and Miss R. I. Bowler. English School, 1910. Mr. Lipshires will speak in rebuttal. Every student at all interested in debating in either the Latin or the English School should make it a point to be pres- ent. both for his own betterment and for the good of the cause. A silver cup, the prize to the win- ning club, will add excitement to the debate. Tickets may be procured from members of the society or at the hall for the nominal price of fif- teen cents. 82 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Jfitiv Ijcars Ego tCo=1Htgbt By Xucy 5. iHarfcy, B., T2 XE summer evening, while sitting in mv casy-chair beside my study win- dow, 1 wearily pushed my book aside, and. half-closing my eyes, dreamily gazed at the moon wading through a cloud. A faint breeze stirred the leaves on the trees near by. and far. far away I heard the rumble of thunder. My thoughts began to wander as the breeze gently fanned my brow. An old mansion rose before my eyes, looming up gray and stern against the evening sky. and from those closed shutters no light cast a brighten- ing ray across that dull and silent court. The moon gradually rose in the sky. but silence, dead silence, reigned everywhere. Even the tree- toads stopped their tireless croaking, and the bats circled noiselessly about in the sweet-scented air. Higher the moon rose, glancing down on a dark, overgrown court, and slowly to and fro the graceful vines swung and sighed in the evening breeze. Through tlie large, leafy branches the moon lighted up a path trodden years before by many a dainty lass and powdered-haired damsel. Fifty years ago to-night those closed shutters were opened, a clear, shining light brightening up the old mansion in the midnight air. The wind rose; the moon was wading through a cloud; a shutter slammed; and the tree-toad began his endless croaking. Silence! What was that? Clang! The heavy iron gate that guarded the entrance to the mansion swung on its creaking hinges, and into the dark court came a coach black as night. The black steeds pranced along an overgrown drive- way straight to the main door of the old mansion. Coach after coach came on and on. Suddenly the old gate swung on its rusty hinges with another clang, that echoed and re-echoed in the evening air. The moon now shone brightly, and the oaken door of the mansion was left open. Strange forms flitted back and forth from the now opened windows. Lights gleamed from the open ball- room. Brighter the moon shone, lighting up the old. ghostly-looking hall, disclosing to view a courtly staircase. Aye. a staircase up which many a dame tripped, displaying a dainty, high-heeled foot. The softening rays of the moon fell on the face of a stately old clock. Listen! Tick-tock. the old pendulum swung softly to and fro. “Ding- dong, the half-hour to midnight rang out in the dusky old hall. Strange music floated from the half-opened door of the ballroom, now musty from old age. Mam a knight led a sweet-faced lass across that polished floor. Merrily the music rang; sweetly the distant croak of the toad fell upon my ear; and the old clock, patiently watching all, softly said: Tick-tock. all’s well. A breeze stirred the trees. A cloud covered the moon as the hands of the old clock neared the point of midnight. Louder the music swelled, but listen! Tick-tock,’ hoarsely muttered the old clock. Ding-dong,” it pealed out the hour of midnight. A resounding crash of music fell upon the air. and darkness, the ruler of night, inclosed the man- sion in gloom, as the mysterious figures returned in the dark coaches from whence they came. With a bound I jumped to my feet, shading my eyes with mv right hand, as flash after flash of lightning blinded me. There was a steady down- pour of rain outside, and my left hand, which had clasped the book during my dream, was cold and wet. I closed the window, still clasping my book, and lighted the study lamp. I returned the book to its place with a sigh, for it had brought back memories of my youthful days, pictured to me in this mysterious form. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 B Stagecoach 'IRobbcry 3!3 ? li arv? G. tlnnston, TO just know I shall be robbed. I feel it in my bones, quavered Mr. Trem- bles nervously. “Nonsense! ejaculated the stout, placid-looking woman in the cor- ner, whose attention was divided between a fat poodle answering to the name of Violet and a parrot in a cage. “Such a thing couldn't happen. “But, think of it. Mrs. Jones. pleaded Mr. Trembles. 1 have a hundred pounds, my entire fortune, in my boots. Bless your boots. said Polly, hopping ex- citedly about on her perch. This conversation occurred in a stagecoach going from London to Bristol. Besides the two already mentioned, there were three other passen- gers. Algernon Clancy and his wife Amelia, and Mr. Wentworth, a clergyman. “Weally. there is nothing to fear, donchcr know. lisped Algernon Clancy, adjusting his eye- glass. If a wobber should come. I would pwotect you all, and he put the head of his cane into his mouth like a stopper You are so brave. Algy dear. sighed his young wife ecstatically. Ah-h hum! said Mr. Wentworth, swelling out his expansive chest, it is not seemly to speculate concerning the future. Mr. Trembles. One should always be submissive to the dispensations of Providence. “Hello, old bald-pate! said a voice. Mr. Wentworth stared about him. frowning pro- digiously. to see who had addressed him so dis- respectfully. and Mr. Trembles leaped frantically from his seat, wringing his hands, and moaning: “Robbers! but Mrs. Jones only said: ‘That awful Polly! poor Mr. Jones would teach her such shocking things before he died. If only he were here now. we would have nothing to fear. and she wiped her eyes with her handkerchief, over- come by her touching memories. I believe that bird is inspired by the Evil One. said Mr. Wentworth, smoothing his ruffled dig- nity. “Sir! said Mrs. Jones, my husband taught Polly to talk. and she wept afresh. At this juncture a diversion was created by the valiant Algy. He started to put the head of his cane into his mouth (its customary position), but the coach gave a sudden lurch, and the cane jabbed Mr. Wentworth viciously in the eye. At this un- expected assault, poor Mr. Wentworth lost his balance completely and fell into the lap of Mrs. Jones, right on top of the unfortunate Violet, who set up a dismal howling. Amelia clung screaming to the arm of the innocent cause of all this con- fusion. Polly shrieked maledictions on everybody, which spoke but ill for the character of the lamented Mr. Jones, and Mr. Trembles, in an ecstasy of terror, hopped frantically about, step- ping on everybody’s feet, and increasing the gen- eral hubbub. Suddenly he became transfixed with horror: he could only stand staring at the coach window, mur- muring weakly: They've come! Then he col- lapsed onto the floor. The others looked at the window to find out the cause of Mr. Trembles’ strange actions, and to their horror they beheld the black-masked face of a robber, who pointed two murderous-looking pistols at them, and de- manded: Money or your life! Mr. Wentworth rolled under one seat, while Algy. the valiant, the protector of the weak, gave one terrified glance at the threatening visage, and then dived precipitately under the other seat. Amid all this confusion. Mrs. Jones alone re- mained calm. You will find all the money in this coach in the boots of the gentleman on the floor. she said calmly. The robber jerked oft Mr. Trembles’ boots, took the money, and rode away. After the departure of the robber, frigid silence reigned within the coach. Mr. Wentworth and Algy crawled sheepishly from beneath the seats, where they had been reposing. At last the silence was broken by Polly, who said heartily: Bless your boots! Yes. 1 think so. said Mr. Trembles, who had partially recovered bv this. time, why did you people let the robber take my money? Do not murmur at Providence.” s Wentworth sternly. aid Mr. «4 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “It's very well for you to talk about Provi- dence,” said Mr. Trembles, “but you weren't robbed.” “Yes,” broke in Amelia indignantly, “while you were so frightened. Mr. Trembles, Mr. W entworth and Algy were hiding under the seats, instead of protecting us. and Airs. Jones told the robber where to find your money,” and she cast a scorn- ful glance at the placid Mrs. Jones, who was sooth- ing the offended Violet. “Ah-h hum!” said Mr. Wentworth with restored dignity. '1 did not consider that it would become the dignity of my cloth to become embroiled with a common stagecoach robber.” “And I.” said Algy. “hid under the seat for the sake of the west of you. If I had allowed the wobber to shoot me, how could I protect you, doncher know?” These explanations being received with more or less credulity, all looked inquiringly at Mrs. Jones. Having restored Violet to some degree of calm- ness. Mrs. Jones, beaming on the whole company, said: “1 suppose you all think my actions very strange, but if you will all come to my home to dinner to-morrow, T think I can explain to your satisfaction.” flic next day the whole company met at the tavern. “The Hlue Hoar.” whence they intended to go to Mrs. Jones’ house together. “For.” said Mr. Wentworth, “we should have a due considera- tion for our safety. This woman may intend to rob us.” At which Mr. Trembles confided to Amelia that Mr. Wentworth took the greatest precautions to guard his own safety, such as roll- ing under scats at the advent of robbers. When the company arrived at the address which Airs. Jones had given them, they were surprised to find a large and imposing mansion. “If Mrs. Jones owns a house like that. I don’t see what she wanted with my hundred pounds,” said Mr. Trembles. “Hut you can never tell, doncher know,” said Algy. taking a firmer hold on his cane. All doubts they may have had as to the identity of the house were dispelled by the sight of Polly's cage in the window. “I’d know that bird anywhere.” growled Mr. Wentworth, remembering past insults to his dig- nity. They were admitted by Mrs. Jones herself, with Violet barking excitedly about her feet. As soon as they had entered. Polly exclaimed: “There comes old bald-pate; bless your boots, come in.” “I think I had better set your minds at rest con- cerning the robbery first,” said Mrs. Jones, then we can enjoy ourselves. “Yesterday 1 was wearing a ring which 1 value not so much for its intrinsic worth as for the asso- ciations connected with it. It is the only memento I have left of my husband,” and again her tears threatened to overwhelm her. “Ah-li hum!” said Mr. Wentworth. “My heart would be broken if I should lose the ring.” she continued, “and so when the robber came. I determined to save it at all costs. I hope' you will forgive me for causing you so much un- easiness. Mr. Trembles. Of course I intended to restore your money to you. but I did not have enough with me yesterday, and so thought it best to wait and explain to-day.” So saying, she handed him a hundred pounds. Mr. Trembles took it thankfully, and, quickly pull- ing off his boots, he thrust the money into them. There,” he said. “I won’t rest until I get that money into the bank.” “Hless your boots,” said Polly. TEbe flbrobigal ® ? iba.wl II- Thompson, IE., TO IIF heavy iron gates of the state prison swung open, and a tall, un- couth figure slouched forth into the busy street. After several years' im- prisonment, James Haskell was at last a free man. In his youth he had been a happy, care-free lad. but, led from the path of right through the influence of evil companions, he gradually reached the point where he lost prac- tically all respect for God or man. His parents, his home, and the friends of his youth were for- gotten ; and as a climax to his waywardness, he was implicated in a serious offence against the law. and had been imprisoned for a long term. As he turned his steps away from the prison gate, his thoughts turned to the life before him. Should he return to the welcome arms of his for- mer companions in evil, or should he try to begin SOMKRV.LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 life anew, only to find himself spurned by the world at large? 1'hese were the questions which surged through his distracted mind. Haskell, he a man!” he repeated to himself: and then lie thought of the humiliation of being turned aside as a jail-bird. As lie neared the cast side of the city, the large public library was the first familiar sight which met his eager gaze. A cold, drizzling rain was now falling, and within the building warmth and dryness, at least, could he found. Here. too. was certainly a convenient place for contemplation. Doggedly Haskell joined the busy throng which was entering the building. As he seated himself at one of the long tables covered with reading matter, he endeavored to concentrate his mind upon the book before him. It was useless, how- ever. for his eyes roamed aimlessly about the well- furnished room, until suddenly they centred upon a quaint little painting just above the table at which he was seated. It was a beautiful picture, full of tenderness, love, and pathos, for it repre- sented a sweet-faced old lady seated before a table, on which was an open Bible, well-worn, as it were, from constant use. For a few moments Haskell's gaze rested upon the painting. Then the hot tears filled his here- tofore unsympathetic eyes, coursing down the rough cheeks, and falling upon the hands hard- ened by fifteen years of prison toil. Slowly the unkempt head sank upon his breast, until at last James Haskell, a man grown harsh and unfeeling through sin, shook and sobbed like a little child. Fearing to attract further attention, he made his way into the street. Before his misty eyes arose a vision of his home and his mother. He won- dered if she were still living, and if she would for- give her wayward son. The time had arrived for his decision, and it was quickly made. Yes, he would brave the sneers of the world. He would he a man. and begin life anew. 'Two days later he was hastening home- ward to the little mother who had waited so patiently, year after year, for the return of her boy. $ 'Pen years have passed since that time, and James Haskell is a gentleman to-day. In a charming little home among the hills of the Granite State, he and his silver-haired mother live in happiness and prosperity: and it is with con- tempt that he looks hack upon the time when he walked in sin, and he blesses the day when the picture led him hack to honesty and self-respect. Iftalnng (5oot J6y jfranl? C. 2Dax te, %„ '13 IOMAS BRODERICK, aspirant for reporting honors on the World, heard his name called with an air of indifference. “Broderick,” said the city editor, “take the train to Albany, and report the Socialistic meeting. A quarter-column will be enough.” Young Broderick walked slowly out of the building. “That’s a pretty assignment.” he mut- tered. Why don’t I get a chance to show what I can do? At quarter past ten the accommodation train pulled out of the station. It consisted of three passenger coaches and a smoking car, besides the engine and tender. Thomas Broderick, in the third passenger coach, his chin resting in his hand, and an unopened newspaper on the seat beside him, stared moodilv out of the window. He had chosen to lead a newspaper life, and had been given a week’s trial on one of the great dailies of the country. This was Saturday, his last chance, and the editor had given him the same sort of as- signment he had had all week—reports of un- important meetings, lectures, and speeches. Plainly there was no place for him on the World. The editor had no use for him. If he could only have done a large fire, a labor strike, a railroad wreck, or—but then, what was the use! The kid” (the name he had received from his fellow- workers) settled hack in his seat and dozed. Crash!! Pom Broderick opened his eves, to find himself leaning affectionately against the water-cooler in the farther end of the car. Screams arose around him on all sides, and intensified as the car settled over on its side, precipitating the young reporter through the window. 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Arising, lie paid no attention to the cuts on his cheeks, but sized up the situation at a glance. Running over to the telegraph office, which fortu- nately was near by, he sent the following mes- sage :— “World, N. Y. “Train wrecked. Am on spot. Will report. “Broderick.” Three hours later Thomas Broderick staggered into the office of the World. Handing his copy to the editor, who accepted it without looking up, he sank into a chair. “You should have been here nearly an hour ago, the editor growled. “Even though you were the first on the scene, the other papers have got their reports already.” A moment later: “Why. this is pretty good stuff; I didn’t know you had it in you. Then: “What is this? ‘One man particularly did good work. His name he re- fused to give. He sustained a few burns on his arms and shoulders Didn't you have enough sense to know that you should have made that man and what lie did the star of the story? You’ll never make a reporter!” As he said this, the city editor swung around in his chair, a look of exasperation on his face, which quickly changed to concern, however, as he saw the closed eyes and white face.of the young re- porter. “Fainted, by Jove!” he whispered, as he swiftly unbuttoned Tom’s big overcoat. Then he started back in horror, for the open overcoat displayed the fact that the bov’s coat and shirt had been burnt away, and the upper part of his body was covered with raw burns. 'I'he next day the editor told this story to a friend:— “I got the whole story from ‘Ed’ Marks, chief space man on the News.” he began. “He came in to congratulate ‘the kid’ just as I had discov- ered him unconscious, and helped me to get him across the street to that private hospital, where they made him comfortable. They promised to send me word when he was able to talk, so I took ‘Ed’ back to the office and made him tell me the story. He wasn’t sorry to, either. The story was something like this:— It seems that the kid hiked back to the wreck after he telegraphed, and began to work as hard as he knew how. The wreck was caused by a broken axle on the engine, which caused it to sag down on the tics. Just as the engineer shut off steam, and before he could apply the air-brakes, the coupler on the tender broke; therefore, the speed of the other cars did not diminish, and the tender ran into the engine, the car behind rammed the tender, and—well, there was a smash-up gen- erally. ' “Then the first car caught fire, and the sparks spread to the others rapidly. The kid started a bucket brigade, beginning at the stream down at the foot of the embankment. “It was thought that everybody was out of the train, when suddenly a woman shrieked that her little boy was in the third car. This car had been overturned, and was blazing at the forward end, but the kid dropped the bucket that he had been using on the engine, and. seizing an axe from one of the train crew, smashed an entrance into the rear end of the car, and disappeared into it. ‘Ed’ said it seemed just like suicide, but inside of two minutes the kid appeared in the opening, with the youngster in his arms, and fell through, uncon- scious. They bathed his burns in oils, and when he came to the fire was out. and the worst injuries done to any one aside from the kid himself was a bump on the head of the youngster he had saved, where he had been knocked senseless in the first great jar. How the kid ever wrote the story and got to the office, with nothing to cover his burns but a borrowed overcoat, is a mystery to ‘Ed’ and me. There, that’s the story he put into the lines: ‘One man particularly did good work. I lis name he refused to give. He sustained a few burns on the arms and shoulders.’ ” How did the child escape getting burned?” queried the friend, seeing that the story was finished. lie had been thrown under a seat, the top pro- tecting him from the flames,” the city editor an- swered. “How did Marks know Broderick?” “He was there reporting for the News, and knew the kid by his World badge.” “One thing more.” requested the other. Does young Broderick get his job?” “What! hy, lie’ll be the drawing card of the paper; and, besides. I owe him something for the injustice I was about to do him in the office yes- terday. I was going to haul him over the coals for not lauding and praising himself. Does he get a job! Does he!” “The kid” had made good.

We express our gratitude to a financier who began the school year with $27. and at the end of December finds $3,000 in his treas- ury : and just at this point of financial success we would like to ask. where is the banquet for the best football team in the state, the team which won the state championship for 1909, beat Waltham.

All the other teams went home limp and stiff and defeated (yes, some of them several times de- feated) to a rousing banquet, and do the state champions get nothing? Xo acknowledgment of their prowess on the field? Why, yes; they received sweaters at the end of the year, and probably felt a few thrills of glory at the end of each game, but why not a banquet such as the other teams en- joyed? Did they not earn money enough? Haven’t we just seen from Mr. Jones’s report that there is a balance of $3,000 to the credit of the Athletic Association? And why couldn’t a small portion of this standing credit be used to give our winners a glorious spread ? There were tMqb School Concert Club Stance The High School Concert Club gave a success- ful Xew Year's partv at Xewtownc Hall, Cam- bridge. Tuesday evening. Januarv I. On account of the extreme cold the attendance was somewhat smaller than usual, but those who braved the ele- ments had a thoroughly good time. 1 he party was in charge of Miss Katharene Kelley and Ed- win Garland, of the club. The patronesses were certainly three banquets in this state, one at Ever- ett, one at Waltham, one at Cambridge: each of these for a defeated team that hadn’t gained half the honor of ours. Arc we so tame and ungrate- ful as to let our victors limp wearily homeward with never a cheer for their victories? How much would such a banquet cost? There would be the two teams, twentv-two members, the coach, probably the president and treasurer of the association, the mayor, and a few guests of honor, i i all fifty or sixty: $250 or $300 ought to be suffi- cient. Isn't that little forthcoming? And if not, why not ? We want a bounteous spread for our heroes! Oh. yes! And couldn’t we have the expenses for a band from this money for each important game hereafter, without the trouble of soliciting funds from individual pupils? Xot that the pupils have shown so much unwillingness in contributing, but on account of the trouble to solicitors, the delay and the uncertainty of obtaining the required sum promptly, and having it on hand at the stated time. And so we ask of the Athletic Association if we may not have these small appropriations out of the accumulated sum in the Somerville Trust Com- pany. An Inquirer. Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Breed.

The High School Beacon contains a column. “Contributions from the Faculty.” The introduc- tion of this column is a bright idea. It contains queer statements made by pupils, contributed to tiie paper by the faculty. The Stylus comes to us with a very attractive cover. The Spectator is brimful of stories. Although many of them are short, so many contributions show good spirit. The cover design is very pretty. Did the author of The Eternal Feminine Play Football.” in the Gleaner, ever see girls take part in any athletic contest? We hope the story is not founded on fact, although it is amusing. The cover design of the Megunticook is excel- lent. The design is always good, but the Decem- ber number is especially attractive. The December Sagamore is a very neatly- arranged paper. The exchange column of the December Pinker- ton Critic is thoughtfully written. 'Pile print in the Dome is good. More stories arc needed, however. A good suggestion was recently made by the exchange editor of the Dean Megaphone, which is here cpioted: “It does not seem fair that a school paper should exchange with other papers, and be benefited by the advice and criticisms of their ex- changes. and make no effort to return the favor.” The Dean Megaphone contains a sweet story.

Music throughout the evening was furnished by the I’.erg brothers, who nlayed in a highly acceptable manner. In the course of the evening President Robert T.

S., IReuiUon The class of 15)05, Somerville Latin School, held its first reunion at Flemming Hall on Tuesday evening. January !. Considering that the mem- bers have been separated for nearly five years, the reunion was a decided success, there being about twenty couples present. After a social hour, an excellent entertainment was given by class talent, consisting of a piano duet by Miss Ethel L. Mul- likcn and Miss Cara Patten: a violin solo by Miss Mae Sargent: and a piano solo by Miss Patten. The class was honored by the presence of Dr. George L. Baxter, the beloved master of the school, who showed his remarkable memory in several instances. The entertainment was followed by dancing, with Miss Mamie Conner at the piano, rendering excellent music. 1 he success of the reunion was due to the work of a committee, consisting of Miss Ethel L. Mullikcn. Miss A. Myrtle Merrill, and Miss Cara Patten, who took it upon themselves to bring the members of the class together. It is hoped that another reunion will be held next year, and that there will be a larger number present.

Although having a little hard luck, the boys are playing a good game, and Captain Donahue is working earnestly to get them into shape. Now the rest is up to the school, and spirit ought to be shown by attending the game. The admission to the games is free. Basket ball is not attended by the school as it should be. The team is playing a hard, fast game, and encouragement should he given to them by the student body attending. This is meant for the young ladies, as well as the boys. The games are played at the Y. M. C. A. “Matt Duggan is helping coach the basket ball team, and Mr. Crozier. athletic instructor at the Y. M. C. A., is assisting in coaching the hockey team.

M3 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The well-earned victory gained by the English High School Debating Society in its recent joint debate with Malden High is one of the best things that has happened to Somerville in a long time. Somerville has always been synonymous with all that is best in athletics, but it was not until this de- bate that she has shown any well-directed activi- ties in literary lines. Aside from the four de- baters themselves, much of the credit of the vic- tory is due Miss Tcele, head of the Latin depart- ment of the English School, who by her untiring efforts has not only instituted the debating move- ment, but has followed it through to success. The debaters are also much indebted to Messrs. Bennett, I latch, and Wright, who gave them many valuable points in the preparation and presenta- tion of their speeches. y Perhaps the one thing most noticeably lacking to-day in the Somerville High Schools is so- ciability. It is not to be expected that “school life, as found in seminaries, academies, and other private institutions, can be duplicated in a large city high school, but sociability, in its simple meaning, could and should be more encouraged here. Under existing conditions, the average student goes through school without becoming really acquainted with the members of his own class. To be sure, he knows most of them by sight, but his speaking acquaintances arc usually limited to the members of his division, and of these he enjoys true friendship with very few. The reason for all this is a scarcity of social gath- erings of an inclusive sort. The informal enter- tainments recently interchanged by the Senior Greek and German divisions of the Latin School were steps in the right direction: their example could be followed with advantage by other classes in both schools. Officially, however, there are but three times during its entire course when a class meets for social purposes: The Junior dance, the Senior soiree, and the Class Day exercises,—in the Latin School the last-named coinciding with Dr. Baxter's reception. It is, therefore, very im- portant that the student make every effort to be present at these occasions. The Junior dance this year does not take place until May, but it is none too soon now to form plans for going. To make it a thorough success, every Junior should attend. The Senior soiree is scheduled for March 29, scarcely more than a month away. Seniors, this dance marks the beginning of the end of your High School course. It is the last time that you will be called upon to show your class spirit by supporting a class enterprise. You can’t afford to miss it. Buy a ticket and invite “her NOW! r A feature at the Malden debate was the excel- lent singing by the English High School Girls' Glee Club. The “Greeting Song” and the “For- get-Me-Not” won much favor, while the original song, “A la Merry Life.” composed especially for the occasion by Cecil Barlow, ’10, was most charming, and was enthusiastically received. The club numbers thirty-six members, with Miss Sigrid Aker as the director, and Miss Louise Hollis, pianist. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 105 The English bovs have organized a glee club, because they “don’t intend to let the girls get ahead oi them. There are forty members, with Harry Marchant, • , leader. Here is good luck to them, ait i may they dp as well as the girls have done 5 L. 1 r W e intimated last month that the March Alumni Radiator would be an unusually good number. We announce now positively that it will prove one of the most interesting issues on record. We have been fortunate in securing contributions from representative alumni, and the number will give an excellent idea of the Somerville High School graduate's place in the world of to-day. Among those contributing there will be at least three former editors, including William E. Brig- ham. founder of the Radiator, and now Washing- ton correspondent to the Boston Transcript: Professor Wade, of Tufts College, who sends a most interesting account of his travels in Asia Minor through the plains of Trov: Frank Hadley, English, '08. who tells of his work as wireless operator on a Boston-Savannah steamship line; and Ordway Tead. Latin. '08. Amherst. ‘12, who contributes an exceptionally enthralling story. The frontispiece will contain a portrait of the most celebrated alumnus of Somerville High. Hon. Frank If. Hitchcock. Postmaster-general of the United States. There is a bare possibility that Mr. Hitchcock will also contribute to the number. Xo student in either school can afford to miss this issue. It will be of extra size, but will cost the usual price, ten cents. The name of Miss Kaan, of the Latin School faculty, was omitted from the list in the January Radiator of teachers present at the German fes- tival. r v The Radiator is indebted to Mr. Golden, of the Senior class of the English School, for the excel- lent account of the Somervillc-Maklen debate, ap- pearing in the Public Occurrences columns of this issue. r v We are glad to see that some one had enough gumption to answer the Letter-Box communi- cation of last month. Thank you. Mr. “Smith.” S The Radiator staff welcomes Harold M. Shaf- fer.

Charles I'Claranow, TO ILSOX, the left halfback, again start- ing on an end run, slipped; the tacklers were instantly upon him. When he was lifted from beneath the human mass, he was unconscious; his leg was broken. It was three weeks before the big game. When he awoke and became accustomed to his surroundings, he found himself lying on a little bed in a small room, and with a start he realized that his foot was in a cast. Wilson groaned. Then the nurse came in. She was very young, and trim, and beautiful. Of course Wilson noticed all that, but he only scowled. ‘‘1 low long before that’s going to come off?’’ he asked, pointing in the direction of his injured foot. “()h. not very long, she replied. “How long’s that?” Nurse did not answer. She just smiled sweetly, and ended his questioning by pointing towards the flowers, and saying: “Don’t you want to look at these? Shall I read the cards for you?” Wilson, without a word, turned his face away. Then the doctor came in, and the nurse went out. “Say, is there any chance of my playing, doc- tor?” he questioned eagerly, but not too pleas- antly. “Well. I should hope not. replied that indig- nant official. “But I’ve got to play. The team’s in a bad way as it is, and----- then lie added as an after- thought—“and this is my last year.” The doctor smiled. “Well. I'm sorry for you. my boy.” he said. “1 know the way you boys feel about it. Used to play myself—not so very long ago.” Then he took on a more dignified air. “But. as your foot is in that cast for—oh. for some forty-odd days, your wishes in the matter seem very unreasonable. The best possible good you can do yourself is to be perfectly quiet, and not get excited. Most of you fellows are pretty in- solent when you’re in here—want to blame doc- tors and nurses for the accidents. We’ll make it very comfortable for you, and you must not be im- pertinent to any of the attendants. I noticed you were to Miss Armstrong as I came in. She’s new to the place and new to the work, and we should make ii as pleasant as possible for her.” The doc- tor didn't like to lecture, so he tried to appear more friendly and humor his patient. “She’s very- pretty,” he observed. Wilson feigned that he had not heard. “She's very pretty, isn’t she?” the doctor per- sisted. Wilson wanted to frown, but he had to smile. Yes, and then some,” he answered, and the doc- tor went out. 1-or days Wilson lay there, and many times he sighed and groaned—not because of any pain to his injured member, but from the unbearable monotony, and from a desire to get out of bed, plaster cast and ali, and Again enter practice. When Miss Armstrong came into the room on these occasions, she always found him very sulky, for he would turn his head away in the opposite direction, and keep it there until she went away. But at other times—and these were most frequent —he would smile, and quickly apologize for any previous misconduct, and she would smile pret- tily in return, and tell him that she was very cer- tain that his team would win the big game. While she re-arranged the flowers, he would stare in- tently at her. and admire the delicate figure: and when she was in profile, he would gaze at her pretty face and think that it was the most beauti- ful and the most cheerful that he had ever seen: and that her fine light hair, beneath the little white cap.--but by this time, becoming annoyed at his continued staring, she would blush very prettily (although trying very hard not to), and then leave the room. Very often a team-mate came to visit him. and then Wilson bemoaned his fate, and would accept no consolation, but always reminding the speaker that the team was not up to former standards and that it was also his last year, lie would implore hi? visitor to “beat them.” The player would go back and tell his team-mates that Wilson’s taking it very much to heart,” and that “lie’s got a peach of a nurse.” The day of the game arrived, and Wilson was more depressed than ever. He called for the papers, and rapidly devoured all news pertaining to the great game. He read the statistics of the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 107 individual players, the last words of coaches and captains, noticed that the betting was 5 to 3, against his team, looked at the group pictures ol the teams, glanced at the list of ‘'notables who were to be present, and then saw a paragraph con- cerning himself. It read: While the two great rivals are battling for honors in their annual game to-day. Robert W ilson, the star left halfback, lies at the hospital, his right foot encased in a cast, the result of the injury sustained three weeks ago. It was a very unfortunate accident, that will pre- vent his presence in the game to-day. and he has the good wishes of the entire student body foi his recuperation. At half-past eleven his captain called, just for a few final words. Do cheer up. Wilson. said Stewart. The manager has arranged to let you know the score directly at the end of the halves. That's the best the hospital officials would allow you. Said it inconvenienced them to do even that.” He noticed the utter hopelessness in the other's face. Say. you oughtn’t to be lonesome in here, huh? and he winked significantly. “The fellows are all saying you’re in luck, old man.’ Then he took the patient’s hands in his two big ones and gripped them hard. So long, Bob; hope to see you to-morrow. I think we're going to win. And Wilson appealed for the last time: Beat them, Jack! Later Miss Armstrong entered with flowers. There had been a constant supply of them from the day that he entered, but to-day his room re- sembled a miniature florist's shop. Your friends haven’t forgotten you, have they? she asked. “The whole thing looks like a funeral, and that’s the way I feel, too.” lie answered, and she nodded sympathizingly. Who's talking about funerals? Feeling des- perate to-day, are you?” asked Dr. Morrison, standing in the door. “Unluckily—or should I sav luckily?—the win- dows are too far from the ground. Besides, I’m tied down.” “Ha! ha! Pretty tough on you. isn't it? But I’m going to the game myself—don’t get the chance very often, and don't want to miss this— and I’ll give you the details as they seem to an old player like myself. As for the result—well, you needn’t worry about that at all. We're going to win. that’s all.” The hands of the clock quickly turned around to the time of play, and Wilson fell a great lump ris- ing in his throat. The day he had looked forward to for so long, and he not there—not there on the day of days! And this year, the last that he would ever be able to represent his college! Xot there to behold the gay stands, nor to receive with his team-mates the plaudits of thousands, nor to hear the singing from thousands of lusty throats! Not there when he was needed so much! He grit his teeth. The possibility of a victory seemed very small (why, the betting was 5 to .'5 against them, and bets are made only after careful deliberation). Maybe the players were just being slaughtered, and maybe Stewart, or Gray, or somebody was being carried off the field with a broken leg or rib. I Ms lips compressed the tighter.

Wilson was crying! . . . Miss Armstrong entered his room. Oh. I’m so sorry. Mr. Wilson! she murmured so earn- estly that Wilson was alarmed. What’s the score? he asked quickly. There’s no score yet. Aren’t you glad?” Wilson gave a slight sigh of relief. “I'm glad enough, but worried,” lie said. It's a trick of this rival of ours to come back strongly in the second half. They’ve done it in every game this year.” The nurse seated herself. “Dr. Morrison re- quested me to take good care of you. but I'm afraid I’ve been negligent.” Wilson was grateful for her company, but he became just a bit red in the face as he said: “I don’t know what you thought of me as you came in. practicing a woman’s art.” But she only said: “You must not become ex- cited. He lay back, very still, his face pale, his jaws set, and lips compressed, and for some time was silent. Then he turned his head and gazed at the young girl before him so admiringly that she was annoyed. A thought struck him. Have you told me the truth about the first half?” he asked. “Are you sure there has been no score?” There was just a slight arching of her eyebrows and a faint flush on her face. io8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Oli, I say, Miss Armstrong,” lie quickly cor- rected. I don’t doubt your word in. this, but I thought it might have also been Dr. Morrison’s orders not to let me know the true score in case it was against us. “It's the score that was sent from the field and given me by the operator in the office. And oh! she went on hastily, beamingly, “I forgot to tell you what came in the same message. Before the game commenced, your entire cheering section rose and gave you a rousing cheer. Feel better? Wilson smiled. ‘‘It was awfully good of them to remember me, he said. Then he remained silent again, and thought very hard, and once in a while slowly shook his head or glanced at her. It’s terrible to be sick, lie observed. “The chances are that you’ll be well ever after. she said. You’re not going to play football any more, you know. Oh. football's all right.” he said earnestly. Accidents will happen anywhere—but in case I'm ill again, I-- lie left the sentence unfinished. Wilson was very tired. The day had been a great strain on his nerves. He began to mumble silently, inarticulately. A few of his mutterings were recognizable. He once mentioned ‘‘Stewart, old boy,” and Beat them, fellows! and Never say die! and something that sounded very much like ‘‘Betty. which is a contraction of Elizabeth, the name to which Miss Armstrong answered. She glanced at her watch, and said: I think the game must be over. She smiled, a smile that asked for courage, and left the room. Wilson's heart sank as he was about to learn the final score. His teeth clicked together, and his jaws again became hard, and he slowly shut his eves and waited. It seemed almost an age before he heard her steps again. She came running in, her face Hushed and laughing. “We win ! she cried. 5 to 0! 11 is set features relaxed in an instant. He swung his arms over his head and let loose a great “I Iooray! She clapped a dainty little hand over his mouth, and cried: Quiet, now, you mustn’t disturb the others. But he took the little hand in his two big palms and squeezed it very hard, and just laughed, and kissed it. and laughed again, and continued to shout Hooray! at the top of his voice, until nurses, orderlies, and doctors came running in and demanded that the shouts of joy cease. One bright young man suggested that they put a gag in his mouth, so he promised to be quiet. He lay back, very tired. “Dear Alma Mater,” he murmured, and fell asleep. $« Stewart, the captain, limping badly, and bearing slight marks of the battle on his face, entered the hospital, and encountered Dr. Morrison. “Hello! Stewart,” cried the doctor, as he grasped his hand, “that was a great game you played, niv boy. and he clapped him on the back. Going to see Wilson? Or maybe you want per- sonal treatment? No? Well, come on, then.” “How is he. doctor?” “Oh, all right. lie’ll be about in a few weeks. But. between von and me. and here he winked knowingly. I doubt if lie ever completes his col- lege course.” And Stewart, understanding, said: He’s a fool if lie does.” tEbc .fllMstrcss of Cagleburst .16v IRatbenne Griffin, %., ’ll IGH on a hill the huge gray stone mansion stood, towering toward the sky, a seeming mass of turrets that looked as if the place had been transported from the mother coun- try across the water. Yet it was no English family that owned the beautiful estate; true, away back in olden times the family had come from England, but since those days every one of the Aldrich stock had been true and loyal Americans. This mansion-castle, known to the country round by the name Eaglehurst, had been built centuries before the oldest man in the region had learned to walk. And now, in the latter part of the nineteenth century, only a bachelor brother and his sister ruled over its time-aged walls. Of stern Puritan stock were these Aldriches; SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ‘•blue-blooded” aristocrats they had always been and they would always be. But in the town below ti� e hill—it was called Aldrich Hill—the years had wrought changes, and what once had been the most aristocratic of towns had become the home of the middle class, with a scarcely per- ceptible sprinkling of the “old people. but with a large colony of mill hands. In these days Mr. Charles and Miss Leslie Aldrich lived bv means of a system. There was always a morning gallop for both, and it is not to be doubted that on these horseback rides were spent the most pleasant moments of their days. Then in the afternoon the brother and sister took carriage rides through what was left of the pret- tiest parts of the town, and perhaps made a call on one of the “old people. Miss Leslie was a little over five and thirty when Brother Charles became ill. and before another year had passed. Miss Leslie found herself sole owner of the large estate of Kaglehnrst. She loved every inch � f the ground her fathers had owned, and she was not sorry to be the owner of it all, but in losing the close companionship of her brother she fell like a little rose vine, the sup- port of which had fallen away. She had always relied so much on Charles. Such were Miss Leslie’s thoughts one evening, as she realized that the last of the Aldriehes had passed away. She sighed. The long race would no longer be numbered among the living: they would be forgotten soon, perhaps even before she herself should die. W hat could a woman do to maintain the family name her forefathers had borne? If only Charles had married! Perhaps then there would have been another generation of Aldriehes. Little by little Miss Leslie drifted away from the world. Her intimate friends were few. and before her year of deep mourning had passed she had become quite used to being alone. Gradu- ally she felt, or thought she felt, contented, living alone, and rejoicing in her quaint garden and in her long horseback rides—lonely ones now. Down below, in the town, the people forgot all about the pretty mistress of Eaglehurst. To these new people, who could not fathom the depths of her family pride, and who therefore could not understand her. she seemed to act “stuck-up.” Many a child had said, in his ques- tioning little voice: “Mother, who lives up there?” and had received as an answer: “Oh, I don’t icq know—some old hermit. I guess. and the child, appearing satisfied, would run off to his play. One day a valiant, curious little lad determined to brave the “stormy heights and find out who lived in the big gray house. It was Billy Douglas who was the valiant knight, but Billy’s sturdy little legs felt rather weary when he reached the top. Gosh! he ejaculated heatedly. I never knowed it was ’s big ’s this. Gee! but that’s a whopper of a house!” N et its size did not keep Billy from finding out what he wanted. He explored the grounds to some extent, and then, sitting down wearily in a little summer house, too tired to walk, he was forced to be content to rest a while. He heard the '••■ft fall of a lady’s footsteps on the grass, and his large gray eyes opened wide, that they might better see, if possible, the mistress of Eaglehurst. She. on her part, was much surprised to ee a dirty-faced, tousled-haired, hot-looking little boy seated in her summer house. Xot accustomed to children, she felt as embarrassed as her un- expected visitor. Hello! he answered blithely to her prim Good afternoon. Then he sat tracing a crack in the lloor with his broad-toed shoe, his eyes downcast. Where do you live, little boy?” she asked. Down ’ere.” was his answer, given with a nod of his head toward the town. Were you out walking?” she asked, trying to be sociable. Ycs’m: it's a long walk up here, so I came here to rest. he added, apologizing, seemingly, for his intrusion in her summer house. Miss Leslie decided that a glass of milk would be refreshing to the small traveler, so she led him to the house and put him in charge of the old cook. Agnes. Then she fled. So much for being unaccustomed to children. Sometime later she saw his sturdy little figure trudging down the hill road again. “He walks somewhat like an Aid- rich. she murmured, then reproached herself for likening one of the common people to an Aldrich. These old Puritans were mighty proud people as regards family! When voting Billy informed his mother of his journey, lie was immediately forbidden to climb the hill again. And so he forgot in time the pretty lady, and the years rolled swiftly on. To Miss Leslie, however, the days were long and lonesome. The picture of that sturdy little SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I 10 figure going down her hill often came to her mind, and sometimes it stayed there for minutes— even hours. And one day she went down to the town, in the hope of seeing the same big eyes and tousled yellow hair. She did not remember how the years had flown, and finally she started home, after a fruitless search. Xot many weeks later Miss Leslie determined to see some of the world in which she lived, and one November morning she arose, determined to go to the city and see if in the great metropolis she could find some one to care for the Aldrich mansion for a few months, perhaps years, a fid to also find, if possible, a traveling companion. “Life isn't worth living here ’ she had said mournfully. “No one to love, no one to speak to. only empty halls and dreary rooms.” She was a thorough aristocrat, even in appear- ance. from the curling plume of her black hat to the toes of her small and dainty shoes. She took a car to cross the city. It lufd been long since she had been in one. and she felt decidedly lonely among the many passengers. It was dusk when she had arranged matters to her satisfaction, and once again was seated in a car to go to her sta- tion. There were few vacant seats in the car. and presently a tired little newsy” dropped into the seat beside her. She had taken no notice of him at first, but presently she felt a weight on her arm. and, looking down, saw the little fellow’s head pressed against her broadcloth sleeve. For a moment she felt annoyed. Then she decided that the little fellow was uncomfortable, and gently she slipped her arm about him. and he cuddled down contentedly. The passengers stared, but the haughty lady in the broadcloth suit raised her patrician nose in the air and thought nothing about them. The little fellow woke up suddenly, astonished at the arm around him. lie looked up hastily, and the face above him smiled. He merely rubbed his coat sleeve across his eyes quickly. Guess you must like boys. No one ever done that before to me. I’m sorry to have bothered vou. lie stammered. M iss Leslie still smiled at him. He was such a little fellow, with deep blue eyes, and a mass of black hair. She saw him in her mind’s eye revel- ing in the halls of Eaglelnirst. She did not allow herself to be reproached, she only questioned the lad. and—oh. well, that truth is stranger than fic- tion is no doubt true. Miss Leslie did not return to Aldrich Hill that night. Neither did she tour the continent. She stayed in Poston for some days, and signed sev- eral papers before leaving the city. This time she did not go home alone, for by the hand she led a blue-cved little fellow, resplendent in a new suit of clothes, and proud in a soft felt hat. He was an attractive little chap, in whom no one would have recognized the little orphan newsboy. Miss Leslie had no misgivings as to his class.” No matter what he had been, he would grow up to be an Aldrich. She knew, because she believed and trusted him. Thus Philip Aldrich, the lad, grew up. and finally brought to Eaglehurst a pretty, winsome bride. It was Thanksgiving Day some two years later when Miss Leslie held a soft little bundle in her arms. Dear God,” she whispered fervently, the baby’s little hand clinging to her fingers. “T know now that all men should be free and equal. T thank Thee. Father, for Philip and Dorothy, and this precious Christmas gift.. little Lester, but most of all I thank Thee for showing me the way to life.” Hit ©strtcb jfarm .16 ? Clarence 1IN I HE largest ostrich farm in the United States lies in a beautiful valley be- tween Los Angeles and Pasadena. The farm consists of twenty acres, enclosed with high wooden fences. Here, seated on rustic benches be- neath spreading live oaks and California palms, one may watch the gambols and antics, the feeding and domestic habits of l.jo adult ostriches. As HMxer, !! ., HO one passes through the farm, he may notice the different names of the mated ostriches, such as President and Mrs. Taft. cx-President William McKinley and Mrs. McKinley, and King Edward and wife. The birds are raised both by natural process and by huge incubators. In the breeding season the male hollows a nest in the sand. The eggs are then brooded over by him from sunset to SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 111 la vn. the female taking charge over them during the daytime. The eggs, of ivory color, are some- what smaller than a football, and sometimes weigh three pounds; they give no suggestion of the plumage which is to bloom forth, nevertheless in six months' time after the ‘ chick has emerged from its shell, it is full-grown. It seems impos- sible to imagine that the largest bird on earth, even including those of pre-historic times, can lift its head from the egg to a height of eight feet in six months. In nine months from egg-setting the plumes are ready for the factory. The average life of the ostrich is from forty to fifty years, while some have been known to reach the century mark. The chick itself is about the size of a hen. After coming into the world., it appears to rest for four days; then it begins to devour gravel, building a constitution so strong as to enable its body to grow at the rate of a foot a month. It feeds upon alfalfa, a staple-diet, grain, vegetables, oranges, and pebbles: the pebbles aid digestion, but despite the ostrich's reported habit of swallowing all kinds of metals, diamonds, etc., as a matter of fact much care is taken in selecting its foods for plumage development.

The public clipping of the birds is a heralded event, and affords a scene of great local interest. The magnificent plumes are seen in all their glory on the wings of the birds as they display them- selves. The male is driven into an angle of the fence. A hood is slipped over its head, rendering it docile. While one man holds the bird, another clips all the plumes close to the flesh. This opera- tion is painless. The plumes are then put through the process of washing, dipping, curling, and mak- ing up for market. They never become too old to be made over by experts, but last a lifetime. The ostrich is a queer looking creature, and its unaccountable actions afford great amusement, its single stride, when in a hurry, is twenty-two feet. To see a flock of these birds traveling at top speed is a sight both wonderful and laughable. The birds, having ample room to roam about, arc always exhibiting the points for which they arc famed: namely, the terrific stride and speed, the peculiar outstretching of the miniature wings, and the easy manner in which they swallow large ob- jects. such as oranges and vegetables, down a Slender neck. • • ♦ •— Resolved, that the class extend to her family its sympathy in their bereavement.

SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR i 7 Somerville Mins IDebate On Friday evening, January 21, Somerville broke a tradition and established a precedent—a tradition of defeat and a precedent of victory. Such was the outcome of the Somerville-Maiden debate. The question. “Resolved, that United States senators should be elected directly by the voters.” was debated by Mr. Cole. Mr. Lipshires. and Miss Howler, representing Somerville; and by Messrs. Clark. Carle, and Robinson, representing Malden. Somerville spoke for the affirmative, while Malden supported the negative. The individuality of each of the Somerville speakers was as interesting as was their argu- ments. Mr. Cole, the first speaker, was impres- sive in his dignity: Mr. Lipshires. as his argu- ments required, attempted to be slightly oratori- cal: while Miss Howler combined the qualities of both and blossomed out into the star of the even- ing. W hen she had finished the audience gave a sigh such as comes after the “great scene” in one of our modern problem plays. Malden throughout took an aggressive attitude. They pointed at the affirmative; they stared them out of countenance, and they asked questions very dramatically, which was supposed to take the wind out of Somerville’s sails, but instead it brought on a squall which succeeded in drowning them, and over whom the ‘“Evans family” performed the obsequies. Throughout the whole debate Somerville tried to prove but these three points:— 1. The proposed svstem is necessary and is widely supported. 2. The reform is desirable. The svstem advocated is working well when- ever it has been adopted. Mr. ( ole showed that the conditions of 1787, which demanded this indirect election, no longer existed, and that “‘it by no means follows that the progress of a hundred years, the growth in politi- cal knowledge, and the changed conditions of our people can suggest no beneficial constitutional modifications.” Mr. Lipshires spent most of his time showing some startling facts which the present system had brought about, and that therefore a change was necessary, “W hen it is remembered that in the senate of a single congress, the fifty-eighth, at least one of every ten members had been put on trial for serious crimes or for grave dereliction from official duty, and that in each case the ac- cused senator was found guilty, or at least failed to purge himself.” Then Miss Howler, carrying on the arguments, showed that this system which the affirmative was supporting was not an experiment, but being used successfully in more than three-fifths of the states having a total population of more than 50.000.000. The rebuttal was begun by the negative and finished by the affirmative. It evidently convinced our Glee Club, for as soon as the judges retired for their decision they prophesied the setting of Malden’s star. Finally Dr. Evans, whom we all remem- ber as one of the judges on the Medford debate, stepped to the front. “The Evans family.” he began, have acted as a unit. T would have been sorry if the affirmative had won (long pause) in practice, for I should never again have had the pleasure of acting as a judge on a similar debate.” Then there was cheering and singing, and ‘‘joy was evervwhere, for we had no fear of Malden High. -------------------------------- Grech Social Tuesday evening. February S. in the Latin School hall, the Senior German divisions were en- tertained by their ‘“Greek classmates. Practi- cally the entire class was present, besides a large number of teachers, and the evening proved a complete success. Dr. Baxter. Mr. Hawes. Mr. Hosmcr. Miss Perkins, and Miss Hall all spoke.

To protect the column from abuse all communications must be signed, although the Since preparations for tendering a banquet to the football team are already under way, an an- swer to the Letter-Box communication of last month is hardly necessary, but in justice to the Athletic Association, there are a few facts which should be known by sympathizers of “An In- quirer. In the first place, the football banquets in Cambridge. Waltham, and Everett were paid for by private citizens, and not by the respective athletic associations, as is generally supposed. Secondly, more Somerville sweaters were given this year than ever before, and. in addition to this very considerable expense, the Athletic Associa- tion presented each man on the team with a watch-fob. 'Thirdly and lastly, the $3,000 now on hand in the treasury looks much greater than it really is. The average total loss in baseball. writer’s identity will be preserved at his request.] basket ball, and hockev in the last few years has been about !?1.001� . Assuming that this year will be like its predecessors, at the end of next June the $3,000 will be reduced to approximately $2,000. Broadway Field will not be available another year. This means that the association must go to the expense of fitting up a new field. True, the city furnishes the field and does the grading, but the immense expense of a suitable fence and bleachers and the cost of up-keep must all be borne by the association, and these outlays will easily reduce the $2,000 to practically nothing. In view of these facts, the Athletic Association was fully justified in avoiding the heavy expense of a banquet to the football team of 1909. Smith., public Occurrences Gonclubeb and each added much to the general good time. Miss Kelley, of the Sophomore class, gave two Greek pantomimes in Greek costume, and also recited two laughable pieces. One of the big hits of the evening was furnished by Howard Bryant, who brought down the house by his artistic recita- tion. in the original Greek, of an old Greek poem. Refreshments followed the entertainment, and an hour of dancing closed the evening’s fun. The Berg brothers' orchestra, of which Charles Berg, English. ’10. is leader, furnished dancing and inci- dental music, and their work was well appreciated. -------------------------------------- 5 ramatic Club lIMa ? “Beverly’s Triumphs. a three-act comedy, proved a triumph for it author. Miss Elizabeth A. ( hipman. president of the S. E. II. S. Girls’ Dramatic Club, who herself acted the title role, at the second annual social of the club in Guild Hall, Somerville, on January 29. 'The play was the feature of the evening. About 350 were present by invitation. “Beverly’s Triumphs” is a boarding school play. Beverly Worthington, a favorite at Mrs. Parker’s board- ing school, falls under suspicion of having pur- loined various articles of jewelry from pupils, a suspicion which is made stronger by Grace Fabian, who is jealous of Miss Worthington’s popularity. Beverly discovers Josephine Everetts to be the real culprit, and endeavors to shield, her and to at- tempt to have the property returned. She is fin- ally denounced by Miss Fabian, and then Miss Everetts confesses her guilt. Miss Annie Ben- jamin was Josephine Everetts; Miss Lillian Gun- senhiser was Grace Fabian; Miss Stella Conti was Edna Sands: Miss Ruth Sargent was Dawn Meredith: Miss Olive Long was Evelyn Page; Miss Ruth Lufkin was Margaret Waight; and Miss Ruth Bowman was Mrs. Carolyn Parkers All took their parts creditably, and were given generous applause. They received many hand- some bouquets of dowers. Miss Bertha A. Ray- mond. head of the elocution department in the High School, coached the play. A social and dance followed the play.

M3 128 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS It was predicted in these columns last month that the March Radiator would be representative of the alumni. We think the result justifies the prediction; and the result goes to show conclu- sively that the Somerville High Schools are pro- ducing men and women of remarkable versatility in their walks of public usefulness. Let us consider the alumni represented in this number.—they offer a fair criterion of the whole body of Somerville High School graduates. Here we have college students of more than ordinary promise in science, literature, and art: a successful wireless operator, upon whom daily, perhaps, the lives of scores of people are thrust: editors, of established and widely-recognized worth: and finally, one whose extraordinary executive ability has earned him a place in the Cabinet of the President of these I’nited States. Somerville High has just cause to be proud of her alumni. The alumni, in turn, should feel true pride and gratitude for the school which has so ably fitted them for their future work. . . K t. I'he president of a well-known college once told the alumni that one way in which each one of them could help the college was by always speaking well of it. 'Ibis simple yet practical suggestion is equally applicable to high school graduates: but in the case of our own alumni we think it is in most part unnecessary. In fact, while soliciting material for this number of the Radiator we were struck with the spirit of cordial loyalty manifested by every alumnus with whom we communicated: par- ticularly the older graduates, who. without excep- tion, wrote most feelingly of their school, their teachers, and their beloved friend and guide. Dr. Laxter. Apparently it is not until a man has been out of school fifteen or twenty years that he begins to realize just how much influence the associations of his high school course have had upon him: but this cannot make his tribute less gratifying to one who so richly deserves it as does Dr. Laxter. Mr. Avery's systemized plan for keeping the alumni in closer touch with each other and the school for purposes of mutual benefit is a highly commendable one. Mr. Avery is constantly in re- ceipt of letters from business men asking him to recommend young men and women to fill posi- tions: by knowing just what graduates are avail- able, he will be much better able to supply the de- mand. Explanatory circulars have been sent to all alumni, and it is to be hoped that each will lend Mr. Avery his hearty and interested co-operation in the furtherance of the project. . r. Last call for tickets to the Senior Soiree! In less than two weeks, on the evening of March 29, to be exact. Anthoine Academy will be the scene of one of the most brilliant gatherings that popular hall has ever witnessed. The committee in charge has labored conscientiously and efficiently, with the result that the music, refreshments, dance- orders.—everything, in fact.—will be of the best. All students are cordially invited to attend, but es- pecially the Seniors; for unless they are distinctly in the majority the dance loses much of its original purpose. The committee would emphasize the fact that it is not necessary to dance to partake of the even- ing's enjoyment. For the nominal price of thirty- five cents a seat in the balcony may be had; from this vantage point one can enjoy the music and the dancing and may also be served with refreshments. Thus, whether it be in the balcony or on the floor, let every Senior be present and have the satisfaction of doing his part to make the affair a success. r Now that the Football Lanquet is a thing of the past, those of ns who supported it can rest with the feeling that in a small way we have shown our ap- preciation of the sterling work done by the football squad of 1909. We all like to sec the big games at SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 129 the end of the season, but at the time we arc apt not to realize that the team has undergone weeks, -and even months, of hard, grueling practice to reach its present state of perfection. And in laud- ing the team’s success, let us not forget the second squad, the subs, who made victories possible by •offering themselves in daily practice-scrimmages to the battering onslaughts of their much heavier op- ponents. r � . r Readers of this issue of the Radiator will prob- ably notice that the Exchanges and Class Notes columns are much smaller than usual. This is due to 110 fault of the respective editors; the depart- ments in question were shortened to accommodate the large amount of material from and about alumni, following out our policy of devoting this number as far as possible to alumni interests. , The April Radiator will be the Staff Number. All the stories will be contributed by members of the staff. (Mherwisc the number will be as good as usual. . 91 In the February number of the Radiator the editorial upon the joint debate between Malden and Somerville omitted by mistake the name of Miss Raymond from the group of those who were instrumental in helping to make the debate a suc- cess. I ler enthusiasm and helpful suggestions ably supplemented the admirable work of other mem- bers of the faculty, and to these teachers is due the entire credit for whatever help was given. tEbc IRafctatot of 1882 84 36v? William IE. 36d0bam, '84, jfounfcer ot tbc IRabiator [William E. Brigham, one of the founders and the original editor of the Somerville High School Radiator, was born in Boston February 10, 1865, removed in 18G8 to Somerville, was graduated from the Prescott Gram- mar School in 1880, and in 1884 from the Somerville High School. In the fall of 1881 he entered the employ of the Boston Globe as reporter, was rapidly promoted to assistant night editor and assistant day editor, and dur- ing the last four years of his service was a special writer and editor of Sunday correspondence. He was an original member of the Boston Press Club. In 1801 he resigned to become managing editor of the Lynn Daily Press. From 1894 to 1898 he was editor and manager of the Somerville Citizen; 1898 to 1902, legislative and political writer of the Boston Evening Transcript; 1902 to 1907. private secretary to Eugene X. Foss, the Boston -capitalist. In 1907 Mr. Brigham returned to the Boston Evening Transcript as assistant Washington corre- spondent. and in 1908 was placed in charge of the Washington bureau of the paper, which position he now holds, lie was president of the Brigham Family Association for four years, and was associate editor of The History M the Brigham Family, one of the foremost of genealogical publications. While living here, Mr. Brigham wrote brief histories of the Somerville schools, the lire department, and the police department. He is still a member of the Somerville Historical Society and of Soley Lodge. A. F. and A. M., of Somerville, which he joined in 1889. He has been a member of the Webcowit and Central Clubs of Somerville, and is now a member of the National Press Club, and the Columbia Country Club ot Washington.] FEEL very modest and retiring, as I turn the imposing pages of the Som- erville High School Radiator for Janizary, 1910, and my mind travels back, more than twenty-seven years, to the timid little eight-page journal of that name of which I was the first editor-in- chief.” The Radiator—my good mother sug- gested the name—was “found” rather than founded. It was ready-made, so to speak, as far as the idea of printing it is concerned. One day in the fall of 1SS2 some of the students of the class of ’si hastily wrote up a little budget of school news, and J. Fred Galletly—the Pop” of contempora- neous football fame—copied off the items on a few ruled sheets in his naturally beautiful hand. 1 have forgotten the name of this embryo journal, if it had any, and I do not remember that I had any- thing to do with this solitary issue. It occurred to me, however, that if a hand-written high school paper was a good thing, a printed one would he bet- ter. Acting on that inspiration, I organized the w i3o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR staff, and issued Volume 1, Xo. 1. of the Somer- ville High School Radiator December 2'Z, 1882. Wilton L. Farnham was business manager, and Miss Annie Coffin, destined later to develop into one of the most charming of public readers, was associate editor. Hundreds of times since then 1 have issued daily newspapers a hundred times more pretentious, with a hundred times less mental wear and tear. As I took my first plunge into the maelstrom of journalism as an ‘‘editor-in-chief,” so did my heaviest work come first. Your editor naively suggests that in this article I touch upon my pres- ent work, and indicate how the training I received as editor of the Radiator was helpful in preparing me for it. Mr. Manlsby aimed better than he knew. I have faced some pretty hard proposi- tions in journalism since then, but if I ever fal- tered, I had only to think back to the days and nights when I sweat blood getting out the first number of the Radiator, and stimulate myself with the thought that nothing worse could be ahead of me. The half-tone process was new and expensive in those days, and we had no illustrations, no red ink, and no special contributors. When a hole yawned in the pages, we had to fill it ourselves; and as we were determined to go before the public on our own merits and not resort to the more skilful com- position of the scissors, we perpetrated some won- derful literature. Even our jokes were original. I would not reread one of them now for a double eagle. Later we learned to drag in other original sinners, and spread out our responsibility a little thinner, but in the early days a few of us were the whole thing. '1‘hc second rear C. Fred Smith, now of the prosperous Lynn-Boston firm of Brockwav Smith, became business manager, and continued until he graduated in 1884, demon- strating then the remarkable executive talent which he since has turned to such profitable ac- count. The paper was printed by the Somerville Journal, whose editors and mechanical staff smoothed our thorny pathway with rare patience and consideration. We prospered and grew. We developed an imposing editorial column, an original joke de- partment, and a sporting page. We boomed athletics, and fought vainly for the introduction of military drill, compromising with the school board by the adoption of naval uniform caps, which we selected in preference to the prevalent “soldier cap” because they were distinctive, and no other school had them. We took on a staff of “assistant” editors, who rarely assisted, and bothered the wits out of the teachers begging for contributions. Buster” Young, now a dignified’ professor at Wellesley, was one of our staff orna- ments. Miss Annie B. Stevens, a shy, retiring girl of real literary talent, was a frequent contribu- tor. A professional writer once offered us an original story, using real names, and as it was in- tended to be complimentary, and I had saved space for it until the last moment, I ran it. not even reading proof. I shared the fate of Sally Pratt McLean with “Cape Cod Folks.” The hero never forgave me, although he did not sue. We organized an Interscholastic Associated Press, for the exchange of school news—rather an impracti- cable undertaking—and achieved some promi- nence in the X. F. A. P. A.—which mystic symbols mean the Xew England Amateur Press Associa- tion. Frank Roe Batchelder, the Worcester poet, Edith Miniter, the charming household writer, and William E. Blodgett, recently mayor of Woburn, were among the well-known amateur journalists of that time, if I remember correctly. We blos- somed into a twelve-page paper at the graduation of 1883, and reached our supreme development, sixteen pages, iu June, 1881. The old High School Hall, one of the most beneficent institu- tions that ever blessed Somerville, in its capacity for discouraging sectionalism, was then in ex- istence. When it was cut up into classrooms, Somerville lost one of her most valuable social factors. Personally, I always opposed the cus- tomary ball of the graduating class, on the ground that, with the expense of the commencement, it imposed too heavy a tax on poorer students, but the girls always scolded me for talking this, and the boys didn't care much either way, so 1 cher- ished my reform notions alone. Mv own file of the Radiator is unavailable, but if my memory serves me, Franklin O. Watson was the second editor of the paper, and Sewall M. Rich, your new chief of fire department, handled the business end. The journal suspended publica- tion about 1885, and was resuscitated in 1895, when, oddly enough, I was manager of the Somer- ville Citizen, and helped set it going again, as the Citizen printed it for some time thereafter. Her- man 'I'. Van Diisen and Lyman C. Hurd. Jr., were the new team of enthusiasts; and the Radiator has been published continuously since. William Francis Eaton, who later fell a victim to the lure of professional journalism, was.one of the most brilliant of the increasing line of able young men who made their first literary bow to the public as amateur editors. 'Flic Radiator to-day certainly is in the front rank of school publications. Shortly after I graduated, the Somerville Jour- nal clutched at my-valuable services (at two dollars SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 131 a week), and in September I went upon the staff of the Boston Globe, chiefly through the accident that the then managing editor was a Somerville man, and his son, Harold P. Palmer, my class- mate. Whether or not my experience with the Radiator fitted” me for professional journalism, it was the determining factor that caused me to enter it. I am very proud of my profession—for such I conceive it to be in its higher aspects—and although newspaper work is unremuncrative, ac- cording to modern standards, the work is always fascinating and important. I trust the young ladies and gentlemen who read these lines will pardon my unaccustomed, and per- haps too frequent, use of the first personal pro- noun. I do not mean to be egotistical—merely intimate. I love the Somerville High School. I honor George L. Baxter and Gordon A. South- worth above any other men who have influenced my life. mature's IDav] Bv Hlinc %. ID0roan, '00 |AIinc L. Morgan was born November IS. ISSS.

It is the morning of the year, the time when God presses close to the lowly earth and seems to commune with all nature, the time when Mother Earth wakes, refreshed from her long sleep, and once more lakes up her work of peace and love. How cold it is! How chill the breath of early dawn! The thoughtful mother must build the fires before waking her sleeping children. A delightful warmth soon pervades the air. Winter has gone, and spring is here. In tones soft and low Mother Earth whispers to her little ones, silently draws back the snowy coverlid and brown quilt, and. kissing each, bids them rise. The gentle, caressing breezes hover over them: the sun sends its first warm rays deep into the heart of every tiny seed, and the cool, refreshing rain gives them moisture. The whole atmosphere is fragrant with the sweet breath of morning. ()ne by one they wake. The buds peep from their brown nest: the sleepy little seeds show their tiny heads. The sweet, warbling notes of the robin and the merry chirping of the many spar- rows welcome them to the new day. The air grows warmer, the breezes softer, and the rain more refreshing. Mother Earth clothes all in their holiday attire,—clean, fresh, green gowns of most pleasing variety and simplicity. I low skilful she is! How tenderly she watches and cares for them! They are so young and sweet. Early crocus, snowdrop, modest violet, bright, happy little tulip, daffodil, pansy, sweet, timid arbutus, and pure lily. They all come at last. The woods and fields, sad and desolate dur- ing the night, burst into bowers of beauty and fragrance. Happy with their new day, they grow larger and fuller, and. as one vast garden, swell the morning chorus of the birds:— Then heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays; Whether we look, or whether we listen, We hear life murmur, or see it glisten. ♦ The cowslip startles in meadows green. The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice,” $ “The little bird sits at his door in the sun, Atilt like a blossom among the leaves, And lets his illumined being o’errun With the deluge of summer it receives.” All too suddenly it is gone, and. with the sun high in the sky and all beauty at it height, the summer glory is upon us. Tired with our striv- ing or with our long winter's work, we seek rest in the quiet vales, the spicy mountains, or the glorious seashore. The little leaves are very happy. They have such a long time in-which to romp. The winds are cool, and the sun gives little warmth. Noon has past, the day is nearly o'er, and still they frolic. Mother Earth smiles, kisses them in their play, and they blush with pleasure. The twilight gathers. The little leaves and flowers, tired of their merry play, nod their sleepy heads and long for rest. The ever-faithful mother sees this. and. gathering them in her arms with unusual tenderness, she puts their gay clothes away. With a good-night kiss, she softly puts them in their bed, and lovingly draws the downy white blanket over them and bids them rest. The cold north wind whistles among the bare branches and whirls the falling snow into great white drifts, but the children are snug and warm, with the good-night kiss still on their sleeping faces. «32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR jfranfc II).

Jones, of the Medford Mercury, won the Boston Journal prize for the best answer to the question: ‘How can a newspaper man better Boston?' Editor Jones’ answer was: ‘Bv publishing accurate news regarding all phases of human activity, especially public matters, and refusing to be subsidized by any public service corporation or politician.’ And. best of all, Billy is an editor who ‘practices what he preaches.’ It is absolutely certain that no corporation or politician ever 'reached' him during his many years of newspaper work in Somerville and Medford.”) R A X K IIAR R IS HI TCH COC K. now the postmaster-general of the United States, entered the Somer- ville High School in September, 1883. There were ninety-five in the Fresh- man class, and about 300 all told in the school. In the previous June he was gradu- ated from the Morse grammar school, which he had attended ever since moving to Somerville in 3880, when his father, the late Rev. Henry C. Hitchcock, became pastor of the Day-street Con- gregational church at West Somerville. Hitchcock was born in Amherst. Lorain county, Ohio, October 5, 3807. The family afterwards lived in Wisconsin, from which state. I believe, they came to Somerville. When young Hitch- cock entered the High School he was nearly six- teen years old. tall and straight, but very slender. Active, mentally and physically, he was an all- around outdoor boy. lie was generally quiet and dignified, with a natural refinement of man- ner; nevertheless, he liked a rollicking good time, in school and out. as well as any of the other fel- lows. His complexion was light and his hair sandv.—absolutely the only yellow streak there was about him. Like all boys he had his peculiarities. Of these his nervous bashfulness, his excessive modesty, and a tendency to underrate his own abilities were particularly noticeable. In the classroom he would flush to the tips of his cars when called on to recite, and like some of the rest of us. he found considerable difficulty in raising his voice, particu- larly in the large classrooms. Xot so. however, on the baseball diamond, when a red-hot grounder or a swift liner three feet over his head came his way. Nothing disconcerted him then, and the runner was out every time, or perhaps a double play was made before the crowd realized what was going on. Having an unmistakable western accent, Hitch- cock pronounced his r‘s in a way that won the ad- miration of the teachers. Miss Laura Giddings was the elocution instructor, and it was a particu- lar delight to her to find someone who could say “r” with a roll, rather than “ah” as most of us Down-east Yankees religiously pronounced it. As a student. Hitchcock was rather above the average, although I don’t think any of the boys hurt themselves with overstudy. If, perchance, we reached school in the morning a couple of min- utes ahead of time. Hitchcock and the rest would get “Jim” McAdams (now a doctor in Lowell— then the brains of the class) to translate the Latin or the Greek for us. If the final sprint along Highland avenue brought us in just as the last gong sounded, or if we crawled along the aisles and wiggled up into the seats during the singing of the opening hymn, “Jim’s” special coaching came at the first recess. Not that it always hap- pened thus. Hitchcock was a conscientious worker, and as diligent in his school days as lie has been in after years. But the activities of strenu- ous school sport sometimes rendered hurried morning study a necessitv. For it must be re- membered that as a schoolboy Hitchcock was pre- eminently a clever and successful athlete. At the High School Hitchcock well lived up to his athlete reputation which he had acquired at the Morse school as a baseball and football player. Early in his Freshman year, however, he so badly injured his ankle playing football that for several years he noticeably limped at times while favoring that member. Although lie did not engage in SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 133 football so strenuously after bis accident, he did play baseball. He knew the game, and played it as well as anyone that ever went to the school. And that is saying a good deal when we remember Rert Allen. George Foster, and some of the other stars that have made Somerville famous. Not a heavy batter, his forte was fielding and a general wide-awake knowledge of the sport. He was in the game from start to finish, playing for all he was worth: was a clever shortstop or outfielder, and 011 first base could reach for and catch any ball that came on his side of the field. He was a mem- ber of the famous nine which in the spring of 1 SSI won seven out of eight league games and took the •championship. This was when big Fattie” Wes- cott pitched and “Yummer Bailey (now the city engineer) caught. During our later years at the High School base- ball was somewhat on the wane, on account of lack of material, the best of players having gradu- ated or left school. Hitchcock, I believe, was cap- tain one year, and was pretty nearly the whole team. With about MO to 100 pupils in the school, and only a third of them boys, it was not the easiest thing in the world to select a first-class team. The girls, the teachers, and the public did not attend the games then, and the general sup- port of the team was apt to be weak. Nearly every boy in the school, as well as every teacher, had a nickname. When the boys played at recess on the rough old hilltop between the High School and the engine house (now the City Hall annex) there was Bop” Galletlv and Fat- tie” Wescotl. “Shortie” Huntress. Biggie” North. “Jerry” yer, Spider” Merritt. “Denial” Cahalan. “Fattie” Merrifield. “Copilicus” Aldrich. “Yum- mer” and “Bunny” Bailey, and so on along the line. On account of his slight limp. Hitchcock was called “Gimp.” although “Hitch was as fre- ■qucntlv used. During our school and college days Hitchcock was a great admirer of poultry and a student of birds. When it wasn't baseball or other sports or a belated lesson in Greek, the recess arguments with “Bob” Burns and the other hen fanciers were over the merits of “Plymouth Rocks,” or a predic- tion as to how many of Hitchcock's latest brood of chickens would be inside of the neighbor's pet cat before his return from school. As for birds, many a time have I chased over the fields and woods from Winter Hill to Spring Hill and then over to College Hill, trying to keep up with Hitchcock in his anxious endeavor to observe a certain dock of birds. While a student at Harvard he was a member of the Nuttall Ornithological Society of Cambridge. In the High School days, Hitch also was skilled in drawing, and attended the evening draw- ing school. Even then he had a penchant for poli- tics, and our young blood was fired by amateur arguments at recess over the Blaine-CIeveland campaign of 1884, with an occasional dipper of water thrown at the fellow who became too vocif- erous. Every night during that memorable presi- dential campaign had its torchlight procession, and the next day the music of the fife and drum corps was echoed in the schoolroom. The contagious rat-a-tat-tat on the desks with the finger-tips would roll through the room, and as it reached its climax Hitchcock and the rest could be depended upon to bring their fists down on the desks at the psycho- logical moment. Hitchcock also had another athletic hobby, which, being a minister's son, he did not gratify to the extent, perhaps, that lie would have liked. That was boxing, which to the ordinary mind then was more associated with prize fighting than it is to-day. I have not the space to describe the box- ing bouts which took place one day in our college career in the Huntress brothers' room at Cam- bridge, especially the one in which the future sena- tor and the future postmaster-general took part. All I need say is that Hitchcock’s long reach made him an easy winner, just at the time when the fu- ture senator started in to “do” him up. When we graduated from the High School in June. 1887. the class numbered fifty-six in all.— forty-two girls and fourteen bovs. Five of the fourteen, Hitchcock, Arthur C. Holt, Fred A. Huntress (now an electric railroad magnate at Rio Janeiro), Tones, and McAdams, went to Harvard, where the same fraternal spirit and intimate daily association that characterized our High School days were continued till our graduation in 1801. Hitchcock's successful career as a government official and in national politics is a story of itself. XT. TIL E . IDance The Tail Upsilon Delta dance was held in A11- thoine's Academy February :M. The hall was very prettily decorated in black and gold, the fraternity colors, and a handsome silk banner hung in the centre. For the moon dances an artistic facsimile of the pin was used with good effect. Fleming's orchestra furnished fine music, which others will find hard to duplicate. A large number were pres- ent from school, and the affair was voted one of the most enjoyable of the season. 134 SOM HR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Es tfolfc by “t£be IRussian” Beborab IKHaranow, i£., ’00 [Deborah Wantnow was born September 0, 1801: was gradimini from lie Hodgkins Grammar School ii� 11)05: from the English School Iasi June.

Thus with our host, known to us merely as “The Russian,” and re- puted to be in Washington with the sole purpose of studying at close range some phases of our gov- ernment. He had appeared unostentatiously one day, establishing himself in one of those secluded little houses still to be found in Washington—a delightful nest, with a dull, aloof exterior and a correspondingly quaint and mysterious interior. Strange to say, there appeared to be no incon- sistency between the occupant and his surround- ings, though the former was tall, commanding, and rather austere; the latter small and cozy even in their very secrecy; perhaps because both seemed as if reluctant to abandon a habitual re- serve, while at the same time breathing forth a dis- tinct hospitality. It had remained for Mrs. Avront to discover them : as a natural result (nat- ural to those acquainted with Mrs. Avront’s so- ciable character) we were gathered at a tca-partv at “The Russian’s.” Prior to serving the tea. “The Russian.” acquiescing with courtly grace to our request of scrutinizing more attentively the innumerable articles piquing our curiosity, dis- closed to our view a cabinet containing his choic- est treasures. One of these, by its very simplic- ity. created more comment than the rest of the truly marvelous collection, a tiny bottle wrapped in a dilapidated leaf torn, evidently, from a book— assuredly not from an ordinary book, for the page was a jet black and the print white—in the Russian language. When comfortable ensconced around the fire- place “The Russian,” with no preliminaries, com- menced :— “Our family, consisting of my parents, sister, and myself, lived in a small village called Nosh- menv. about twenty miles from the nearest city, V ---. Here my father, by virtue of his im- mense farm, his incomparable orchards, his dignity and general worthiness, was considered the head man of the village, esteemed and respected by all. and here we passed a happy, eventless existence. When 1 was six years old the first incident to ruf- fle the placid tenor of our life occurred. A Nihi- list made an attempt at the life of General K--. in V-----, succeeding in injuring his victim and thereby wounding himself, but by some miracu- lous chance escaping from the very hands of his infuriated pursuers. (I always maintained that in this he was aided by the carelessness of some of the police secretly in sympathy with Nihilism.) The fugitive betook himself to the woods skirting Xoshmenv. through which a path wide enough for a wagon to pass had been hewed by Nosli- menians coming to and from V--------. From that point the police were unable to trace him, perse; vering as they did for weeks, and retaining a se- vere vigilance on the woods and on Xoshmenv for months. Little did they dream how near him they had approached. Ah, my friends, it is a curious though indisputable fact that we are so often hin- dered in our undertakings by refusing to avail our- selves of the simple, apparent things, the little op- portunities. which we slight, eagerly eyeing the great things. Thus our police. Fancy the ludi- crous position: A hundred officers hunting down one poor wounded individual—failing ignomini- oitsly! Why? Enter one of those ‘little things’ I philosophized on just now—my father returning with a wagon loaded with supplies, the oil. sugar, and meal for which we were dependent on V------. “ ‘Ho! Who goes there?’ “ ‘Baruch Yarnov!’ “Magical name! Who docs not know Baruch Varnov. and. knowing him. does not revere him? Who so kind, helpful, broad-minded—who in cold weather so cheerfully willing to offer shelter to a freezing soldier, in sweltering summer less charv of a cooling drink for a panting Cossack? Baruch Varnov gravely driving home with supplies from V ---. Ah. my friends, my tale bores you. No? Well, perhaps you conceive already of what oc- curred. The stretch of woods was about ten miles long and several miles wide—it would have taken SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 135 in entire army to have surrounded it completely. The police, aware of the extreme density of the woods, never doubted that the fugitive would avail himself of the precious start he had secured by running- through the only known path direct to Noshmcny. The wounded Nihilist, unacquainted with his surroundings, entered the woods from an- other angle, and fell exhausted. Now. my father, in his many sojourns, had discovered a short cut. a narrow path where the trees grew less thickly than elsewhere. As he was traversing this rather undeveloped route, he became cognizant of some mu filed groans. A man always eager to aid any in distress, he naturally investigated the mat- ter. W hat lie learned aroused his deepest sympa- thies. and he immediately devised a plan. Yes, he realized the danger—it spelled Siberia for both —yet, and 1 say it proudly—Baruch Yarnov was not one to consider self when there was the least possibility of a fellow being's life being saved. Ah. you Americans, with your cold ethical codes .and your conscientious scruples—but my father knew of the terrible cruelty and merciless oppres- sion that were the incentive of these Nihilists, lie lifted the helpless form, placed it upon the wagon (the Russian wagon with its steep, slanting sides .and its oftentimes convertible bottom is especially adaptable for just such exigencies), carelessly threw some straw and a few sacks on top. and trusting to the reverence in which all held him. to the general credulity and stupidity of the Russian soldier, and to the divine Providence which so ef- fectually guards the right, he proceeded—with what success you may infer. To progress more rapidly. For months my father nursed and fed the fugitive Nihilist, abating not one whit in caution even after the hue and cry was dropped, because he knew the untiring Rus- sian watchfulness, because he pitied the infirmity of the Nihilist, whose lower limbs became para- lyzed. and most of all because he had learned to admire and respect the man himself, who proved a •gentleman of unlimited culture and intelligence. The combined resources of two men like the Nihilist and my father would naturally be wonder- ful. They conceived the following plan: My father owned some land about five miles from our house, fortunately even more remote from any neighbor's farm. There my father, aided by some trusty friends and instructed to a large extent by the Nihilist, accomplished the gigantic teat of ex- cavating an immense hole in the ground, convert- ing it into a room suitable to be the dwelling-place of a human being, and there conveying the future occupant. Provision was made whereby lie would be supplied with necessities by a farmer whose dis- cretion my father vouched for, a signal system was arranged, and the Nihilist parted with the world, my father included—it was considered best thus, as intercourse might entail suspicion. As an added precaution my father spread the report that the huge stone which marked the opening of the cave was haunted. He read the simple country folk correctly; their superstition forbade their molesting the Haunted Stone forever! Hie years passed. My father, always uncom- municative, brooked no discourse concerning the fugitive whose life he had saved ; the incident faded from our recollections until, when I was twelve years old, the sequel occurred. It was then in the midst of winter that a religious fete took place in V-----. which all the men folks of the farms at- tended. During their absence a terrific snow- storm commenced, immediately assuming such proportions that my mother argued that the men would not venture a return until some abatement was discerned. She had a premonition of dis- aster. this frail little mother of mine, which I clearly perceived, even in her attempts at gaycty through fear of inspiring some of her worry to my sister, who was of a nervous temperament. Even as she uttered her remark we heard a shout rising above the howling of the wind. My sister, always frightened during snowstorms, leaped to the door, swung it blindly inward, and pointing to the bc- furred and crouching figure struggling out of the snow, uttered a wild cry of A bear,’ and fell shrieking to the floor. What a dilemma! Mv father almost frozen from the cold he had braved in order to reach his home and cheer us—my mother cowering in anguish at the shrill, piercing screams rending the air and at the convulsings of that slight form—all the men gone—the nearest doctor twenty miles away—myself a young boy unaccustomed to cope with such exigencies. ‘Son,’ my father gasped, ‘you it is must save Dvaire’s life! Go to the Haunted Stone—with this mallet rap six times on it. pause, and then again six times—give this paper to him who con- fronts vou. Heed and obey his commands. Take Raaven. the marc. God watch over you and re- store you to us safely!’ “Mv heart bounded at the trust conveyed in his words; all mv innate courage came to the fore; in eager impatience I waited while he handed me a silver mallet and a slip of paper on which he la- boriously inscribed ‘Baruch Yarnov and beneath it the picture of a flower, the like of which I had never seen growing, and again blessed me. Ah. the hope of youth! Obstacles sufficient to daunt the bravest of men—these and more I overcame even while almost unconscious of their magni- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 136 ttule I rushed forth, eternally ringing in my cars to the exclusion of all other sounds the shrieks of my sister, ever urging me to greater effort. Raaveil's strength succumbed to the violence of the storm; she could no longer exert herself, but with renewed determination I plodded onward. At last loomed before me the Haunted Stone, ris- ing with ominous clearness above the surrounding snow. With benumbed fingers 1 cleared the snow from the stone, struck it as instructed, and awaited developments, marveling at the peculiar vibra- tions the mallet produced. Slowly the stone veered, turned on its side, exposing a round chasm, and a harsh voice bade me enter. I had promised to obe . I closed my eyes and jumped —found myself s.iding down, down—until that same voice bade me stand up. T stood in a place of heavy darkness, with a round red light blazing on one side like the eye of a monster. Where the light penetrated could be seen rows upon rows of black, grim books, and shelves upon shelves of mysterious bottles. Above me towered a giant form. Tremblingly I released the slip of paper, and to the whirring noise of a small engine, the man floated—1 could see even in the darkness that his legs were not moving—to the red fire, lie exclaimed in a whisper: 'At last,’ of joy and gratitude. I followed him to the fire, and inco- herently poured forth an account of what had happened. Hardly had I completed the recital when he hastily scanned the black pages of a book printed in white letters, poured with wonderful swiftness the contents of numerous phials into a caldron he set in the fire, put a few drops of the resultant liquid, a thin white fluid resembling water, into a bottle, wrapped this in a leaf he tore from the book, and gave it to me. saying:— ‘Rub her forehead with this. She will recover. Teii Baruch Varnov I have lived fi r this only. God bless him and his. Go.’ Now I realized the apparent floating. He was standing in a contrivance which conveyed him at his will : evidently he was unable to walk. He guided me to a basket; I felt the basket rising, then stopping suddenly, a rush of cold air met me, and as I stepped on the snow the stone veered and with a thud fell into position. ‘ I Iopelessly I floundered, sobbing my despair to the accompaniment of the weird soughing of the wind. ()ncc I lost the bottle. It had escaped from its wrappings and lay exposed 011 the snow. I screamed in fright and incredulity; it had turned a livid red and seemed like a writhing stream of blood against the white snow! But it meant my sister’s life! I clutched bottle and wrapping, un- reasoning terror lending strength to my mad flight, and plunged into the snow. ‘After what seemed an age of interminable struggling I came within sight of the farm—as al- most totally exhausted I found the grim figure of the captive towering over me for the second time that day. Lifting me as if I were a babe, he con- veyed me to my father’s arms, and shouted with a glorious joy above my sister’s ringing cries, ‘Baruch Varnov, I have repaid; an overpowering desire to help you possessed me, and I just walked.' At his first magnetic touch my sister’s veils subsided into soft gurgles; as he applied the red liquid to her forehead she sighed deeply, opened her eyes and murmured: ‘What a long sleep I’ve had’—ah, my friends, my friends!” tEbe Mages of Sin JSy Or vva$ Ueafc, 'OS lOrdway Tend was born September 10, 1891.

Get up. It’s quarter 0' six.” “What’s dcr time?” mumbled a red-headed heap in the corner, hic- coughing heavily. “It’s quarter 0’ six, I tell yer. Get tip, or you won’t sell no papers dis morning.” It looked as though a yellow cat turned around in the winter morning darkness: but it gradually resolved itself into the face of a freckled boy with red hair. The head turned back, and any likeness to the face of a boy disappeared. The yellow cat was once more lying amid the dingy rags. Lucy, the first speaker, had bv this time nearly finished his dressing. “Come on. Get up, will yer?” and to emphasize his remarks he let go a shoe at the yellow cat, who suddenly vanished. The red-headed boy, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 who had been graced with the imposing name of John Rodney Harrigan, got up, stumbcld into a pair of well-worn shoes, pulled an unraveled sweater blindly over his head, and was ready to face the morning snow storm. Luev talked to his mother in Italian to the effect that he and Red would breakfast at a night-lunch cart. So the two boys, the one still staggering and hiccoughing, turned their steps toward the North station. “Did yer hit her up again last night? and. with a glance at his companion, Luev went on: “I guess yer did, all right. If yer wasn't a fool, yerVI drop it.” Yer know I can't. Red blubbered. “Yer know it’s de only ting dat keeps me goin'. It’s me food.” ‘T know youse is a fool, dat’s what I know. At that the other began to cry, and with eyes thus flooded with tears, he could hardlv see to keep up with the fresh gait of his energetic com- panion. Aw, slow down a bit. will yer? Yes. I did hit her up last night, and I sc all in dis mornin’. I’m froze now, and de only ting dat will warm me up a little is a touch.” Lucy looked at his friend with real pity and wonder in his child face. Even to him there was something remarkable in this sickly child. Luev was the son of a southern stock, fresh from Italy, energetic, and undebilitated by the life of one or two generations in the whiskey-reeking slums. Poor little Harrigan. on the other hand, was the son of Irish parents, six generations from Europe, and about four on both sides steeped in whiskey. It was when he was about four that his mother died, and a wan little chap was left alone in the tenement. Mrs. Divello’s motherly heart was moved, so she took this additional burden on her poor shoulders. Red was now twelve, and Mrs Divello had fortunately been able to keep him in school thus far. although during all his spare time he sold papers. But the black-eyed Lucy, who was of the same age. had been sworn to be four- teen bv his parents in order that he might work and help support the family. The two boys reached the North station and the wagon which distributed the papers to the newsboys. I11 order that the transaction might be made with perfectly clear heads on both sides, Luev counted off Harrigan’s papers for him. Better get the kid to cut the dope,” advised the genial news agent, No. 700. to Luev. He’s sell- ing the fewest bunch of any feller round here.” I try ter keep pretty close ter him. but he gets away sometimes. I guess I ought ter try harder.” “Yes, you’d ough’ ter,” said No. 700. Come, Red,” said 'l ino—Luey went by several peculiar names, all derived more or less directly from Antonio— Here’s yer papers. Come over and get ter work.” Aw, wait till I get a touch 0’ somethin' ter keep me warm,' hinted Red. “No! Come over to der night-lunch, and get some coffee. Dat’d be better.” So they elbowed in among the teamsters and newsboys, got their coffee and roll, and were back to the station in a minute. It was now half-past six, so Luey started up town, where he knew he would find the store boys assembling, and there would be an opportunity for a quiet game ol shooting craps, as the store did not open until quarter-past eight. Rodney stood there for quite a while, sold a few papers, grew colder and colder as the wind rose, and finally, almost in a state of lethargy, crawled into the lee of one of the station’s spacious pillars, curled up, and went to sleep. He had chosen such a position that the snow might have covered him, and nobody would have been the wiser, had there not been—as always—eyes on the watch for such occurrences. The pair that discovered Rodney belonged to a young man who had just come in from the suburbs. lie went up to the boy. pulled him to his feet, brushed the snow from him, and tried to wake him. Seeing that his condition was more serious than such cases usually are. the young man took the boy, papers and all. and pro- ceeded up Causeway street. A few turns up the dark, canon-like streets brought them to a house distinguished from the others only by its appear- ance of cleanliness. Up the steps of this house went the young man, and opened a door, on which was a plate inscribed: B----- University Settle- ment. They were met inside by the matron. “The little fellow seems to be all in. Miss Caine, so I thought I'd bring him up here till he came round a bit. Do you know if there’s a fire in the library? And. by the way, do you think you can fish out some dry clothes for him?” Yes, Mary just lit a fire, Mr. Hoffman, and I'll get some dry things right down. Be sure to take those wet shoes off before he catches his death of cold.” “Here goes,” and Hoffman swung his burden lightly up to the warm room. Under the influence of the heat it was not long before Rodney was thawed out. bodily and mentally. And by the time he had on the dry clothes, he was quite friendly with Mr. Hoffman. Slowly the story of his life, as he knew it, came out: and Hoffman, putting two and two together, rightly decided that the little fellow was an hereditary drunkard. He hated to let him go, for he knew that lie migb never sec him again; but when he heard that Rod- 138 SOM ER VILLI-: HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ney went to school, he devised a plan by which he could keep in touch with the boy. “Well, Rodney, do you think you’re all right to go to school now?” I guess so.” said Red reluctantly. “You better put this coat on then, and keep warm. And now we’re off.” Mr. Hoffman knew Rodney’s teacher, and soon explained the boy’s peculiar weakness. It was ar- ranged that when Red was absent, Mr. Hoffman should know of it: and that the boy should come two or three evenings a week to the settlement to receive help in his school work. The next night and the next, and many evening? for the next few months, found Rodney faithfully at work with Mr. Hoffman. Of course this land of promise, as it seemed to the boy, was soon re- vealed to Lucv, who volunteered to come along, too. The settlement was fully equipped for in- dustrial work, and it was in the printing depart- ment that Luey found congenial and profitable employment for his evenings. This state of affairs seemed too much like per- fection to last long: and so it was. The boys were happy. Harrigan was improving in health, ap- pearance. and mentality under the inspiring tutor- ship of Mr. Hoffman. Rut, at last, he weakened, and submitted to the great temptation—submitted only after the cowardly provocation of ridicule. It happened after this fashion. One Fourth of July, Harrigan, in company with some older fel- lows, took a trip to the beach. They were trying to be “smart,” and to this end they had three or four quart bottles of whiskey among them. Manfully did Harrigan refuse, but grew cowardly and more cowardly as the boys laughed at him, until the coward conquered the man. The gang came home uproariously, carrying all before them —except the empty whiskey bottles, which they had long since discarded. They were not drunk, just happy and silly: that is, all except Rodney. They had taken care that he should be plentifully supplied; so that when the crowd was getting off the car at Scollay square lie was easily persuaded to grab a lady’s pocket-book from her hand. But in liis blundering stupor the old lady got him tight by the collar, and gave frightful shrieks of “Mur- der!” “Police!” until a policeman took the thief off her hands. At the time Harrigan was almost ob- livious to his difficulties, but the next morning found him penitent and sobbing in his cell. 'I'hc Associated Charities’ agent, whose work it was to watch all proceedings at court, immediately recog- nized him as one of Hoffman’s proteges. A few minutes’ talk with the clerk of court made clear that this was the boy’s first offence, so that when his case came up, he was reprimanded, told that a second offence would send him to the Island, and then discharged. At the agent’s suggestion, the two went from the court to tile R---- Settlement to sec Hoffman. Those who doubt the sincerity of small boys in general should have seen the meeting between this waif and his guardian. Rcfore a word of explana- tion had escaped the agent, the boy rushed up to Mr. Hoffman, and cried: “Hones’, Mr. Hoffman, I didn’t mean ter go back on yer. No, sir. I didn’t. An’ I didn’t know wot I was doin’ when 1 took dcr lady’s wallet. I won’t do it again, never.” Hoffman smelled the boy’s breath, and guessed what was the matter. “It’s hard luck, Harrigan. Rut tell me how it happened.” If they intended to keep this abnormal child in anything like the right path, he must be sent away from the city and its temptations. The question resolved itself into a quest for the family who would adopt this orphan, and keep him in the country. Rodney, when he heard of the plan, was not at all eager, but pitifully submissive. After some correspondence here and there. Hoffman came in- to touch with a Mrs. Kendrick, of Rrattlevillc, X. H.. who was a motherly soul, but childless. Hoffman even went to see her. and frankly re- vealed the peculiar trouble of his young friend, Mrs. Kendrick’s heart, affected in that strange way we call “touched.” was willing to risk the chance that the boy might turn out what she called a “bad tin.” as the odds were that lie would profit by the country life, and become a credit to his foster parents. Hoffman thought the right family had been found at last, so legal matters pertaining to the adoption were settled immediately. About the first of September Rodney parted regret- fully from Luey. There was. however, that tinge of loftiness in his attitude toward his friends which was intended to stir his jealousy. For Rodney was eager to have the other boys realize that he was going to live in a land of perpetual fields, for- ests. and God’s fresh air; and the picture of such a life tended easily to arouse the envy of those chil- dren of the gutter. It is not the purpose of this storv to dwell longer on the boyhood of the two. For twelve years the one was absorbed in happy country life, while the other plodded on in the city. Lucv had struggled to a good position as reporter on one of the city papers. Night school had worked marvels in him : and he was a prosperous specimen of the type that can, and eventually will, come more and more from that class which some choose to designate as “dirty foreigners.” Rod- ney had also undergone a metamorphosis. 11 is SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «39 sickly face had become brown and healthy. His weak lungs were noticeably developed. His arms were big and strong. He still kept in touch with Lucy, but his remem- brance of the city was as a talc that is told. Hut, oh. how quickly that past life came to his mind, when, in search for some axle grease in the harness closet, he took down and put his nose to a curious-looking bottle from the top shelf. The strange something in that aroma, which so grati- fied his senses, was the key which had closed the door on his childhood—a lost key—which he had now found, and which would reopen for him that gate of infinite possibility for evil. But why was this bottle there? W hy had he never seen it be- fore? In the first place, the Kendricks had recently changed hired men. The strange brown bottle was the property of the new man, who was evi- dently an imbiber. As we have said, the mirror into which he could look and see reflected his younger days was in his hand, in the form of a brown flask. He looked into the mirror, felt the charm of the old life imaged there, and then he drank a long, deep, satisfying draught—a draught to quench the thirst of twelve years. Hut on his part there was no reasoning. It was only the result of that in- born prompting of his instinct. I le was standing thus, head atilt, when the new hired man entered. Quickly the head came down, and Rodney turned around, guiltily wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. But the man was good-natured about it. and. as most men would rather drink in com- pany than alone, he told the boy to “take another swig, and pass her here ’ He took another swig, and passed her there. Then the two went about the evening chores. At supper Rodney was flushed, and talked loudly, with the result that the innocent parents thought he had a fever. He was. therefore, hustled off to bed, which was the best thing for him. lie awoke about one o’clock with a terrifi- cally bad head and a parched throat. The still- ness was intense, and he lay trying to remember what had happened. Then he recalled the bottle, and realized that some of its contents might cool his throat. So he slipped on his trousers, pattered down to the back door, and out to the barn in his bare feet. At last his trembling hand grasped the bottle, and he drank long and deep—so long, in fact, that he drained the last drop. And still his thirst was unsatisfied. He must have more. He ulttst Q The question was. where to get it! In the city, fo be.sure! 1 le must go to Manchester or to Boston. 'Yes, Boston,—that was the place. Hut it would take money to go away, and he had only a couple of dollars. And then he bethought himself of the stocking jealously guarded in Mr. Ken- drick's chamber closet. Back to the house he stumbled, and as softly as his muddled state would allow, he stole the contents of the sock. Mr. Ken- drick slept blissfully on. Xot until the next morn- ing was his peace of mind destined to be disturbed. The story of Rodney’s terrible backsliding is quickly told. lie went to Boston, and. fearfully drunk, sought Lucy at his newspaper office. Lucy was writing at his desk—he was one of the head reporters now—when Rodney, face flushed, eyes bleared, and appearance disheveled, stag- gered into the office. Luev heard the faltering steps, and turned only to sec his friend stop at the door. Harrigati tried to enter, but his feet be- came hopelessly entangled with the door mat. and he lurched forward to the lloor. His head struck the top of the brass umbrella stand with terrific force, and he fell to the floor heavily. Lucy reached out to catch him and break the fall, but he was too late. There was a long gash on Rodney’s temple, and before a doctor could bind it up, the young man had bled to death. On a modest headstone in the Holy Cross ceme- tery Lucy caused this inscription to be placed:— “One man soweth, and another rcapeth.” iResolution Whereas, in view of the loss we, the class of DIO of English High School, have sustained by the decease of our friend and classmate.

He received his education at the Hodgkins Grammar School, from which he was graduated in 1004, and at the English School, class of 1008. Mr. Hadley early became interested in wireless telegraphy, and soon after graduation from High School was employed by the United Wireless Company, which furnishes operators for all steamship lines. His first trip was on the Massachusetts, of the Clyde Line, and was decidedly inauspicious, as the boat was wrecked off Martha’s Vine- yard. Since then Mr. Hadley has made many successful voyages, and at present is returning to Boston from Galveston, Tex., on the Rio Grande ] ER since Jack Binns sent that C. Q. D. cry for help from the wounded Republic, the wireless operator on board ship has become a personage; before that he was only a person. People passed the operating room unconcernedly, save to pause as their eve caught the printed tariff of aerograms. Now all that has changed and the man of the key has become a man of mark. After a dozen or so voyages, technical ex- planations of the instruments in words of one syllable begin to weigh heavily on the mind of the average operator, and he suddenly discovers that he possesses previously unsuspected creative power. If he explained every piece of apparatus in the simplest words possible, the average passen- ger wouldn’t know any more about it when he got through than he did before, so he has to draw on his imagination somewhat. Soon after the steamer leaves port everyone begins to cluster around the wireless room. After the usual Ohs!” and ‘Whs!” and “Oh. how per- fectly wonderful!” from the more impressionable element, some hard-featured Yankee school-ma’am wants to know just how messages arc sent with- out wires. Of course there must be wires under the water, she thinks. She is told that it is ac- complished by means of electrical waves dis- charged from the ship's masthead, which travel through the air in every direction to receiving stations on shore. “But will not every other ship hear the mes- sages before they get to shore and stop them?” The operator has only one life to live and he has explained the tuning process a great many times before, so he tells her that only a few of the waves cling to the ships within radius, and that the rest of them go to the shore stations. Tie also states that they are called Hertzian waves because of their likeness to the motions of Alfred Hertz, conductor at the Metropolitan Opera house. She then spies the telephone receivers and wants to know what the ear-trumpets are for. She is informed that the messages are heard in them and that they sound like little scratches broken up into dots and dashes. ()f course there is always someone on the boat who knows more about the apparatus than the operator, and tells him how this and that should be arranged. All of this the operator must take in one car and let out the other before it clogs his brain. Some of the suggestions are remarkable for their lack of common sense. lie then takes out his case of fiftv-cent cigars, lights one. and puts the rest back in his pocket. The next day lie would not even buy the ocean newspaper. Great progress has been made, however, with- out the aforesaid suggestions. Recently the Korea, one of the I’acific liners, running between San Francisco and Japan, kept in communication with ’Frisco for 4,728 miles. This is probably the greatest distance ever attained by a 5 K. W. set. Several of the coastwise steamers have worked over 1.000 miles, and 000 miles is an average dis- tance. The steamer. City of Augusta, while aground off Tybec beach. Savannah, sent its re- port of the accident direct to Chicago. 'I he weather has considerable effect on wireless effectiveness. Messages can he sent a much greater distance on a clear, cold night in winter than in the daytime. This is probably due to the drv condition of the air. Tt is also easier to work north and south than east and west. The poles seem to have some effect on electrical waves. It is only a matter of time, however, before these obstacles will be overcome and messages will be flying this way and that over land and sea. At the present time there is a perfect network of stations all over the United States. A person in New York can talk via wireless with another in San Francisco. New Orleans, or Chicago. Ten years will make a great difference in means of communication, and we will probable soon look back on telegraph and telephone wires as old- fashioned. a | SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 141 B Turkish Me bing Bv Charles St. Clair made, %., '90 [Charles St. Clair Wade was born in Wayland, Mass., in 1871.

CANNOT forbear, in responding to a request for an alumni article in the Radiato it. to muse a few moments on the memories called up in me by the letters S. II. S. With due and grateful respect to Miss Morey and to Miss White, who patiently •corrected many an exceedingly faulty English paper for me, three names stand out in my mem- ory. 1'irst, in chronological order. Mr. Hawes, to whom I owe my introduction to the Greek lan- guage and literature, the study and teaching of which has been my profession and pleasure for the past twenty years: then our respected and beloved principal. Mr. Laxter, under whose guidance I be- gan Homer, and lastly, that remarkable teacher and masterly scholar. Miss Sarah F'ox. It gives me pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness to these devoted teachers. I have been a student and teacher of Greek since my graduation in 181)0. and my preparation for that profession has led me into many distant lands. From Copenhagen, in the north, to Con- stantinople in the cast. I have sought and studied the fragmentary yet fascinating remains of that great civilization. Among these experiences one that stands out in my memory is connected with a visit that I paid to Hissarlik. the site of ancient Troy, under the guidance of Professor Dorpfcld. 1 was at that time a member of the American School of Archaeology at Athens, and I)r. Dorp- fcld. director of the German School, was accus- tomed. with his characteristic generosity, to con- duct annually a party of students from Athens to Troy, a site that he had himself excavated, in com- pany with Schliemann. a site of which his knowl- edge was greater than that of any man then living. A special firman, or permit, from the Sultan allowed us to land on the coast opposite Troy, and to spend a week encamped in the old huts that had been used for the workmen of Schliemanivs exca- vations. I need not dwell on the unique charm of such an experience—to live for so long a time on the scene of the greatest epic poem of the world’s literature, and to have as your guide and friend one of the greatest of the world's scholars. Shall I never lorget the fascination of wandering through the deep trenches cut by the investigators in the hill of the ancient city of the Trojans, where on either side we could sec the distinct layers, nine in all. rising for some thirty feet, of the suc- cessive cities that have stood upon the site, from the first, in something like 4000 L. C., down to the last, about 1200 A. 1). And all the while Dr. Dorpfcld poured forth the immense stores of his knowledge, and made the great civilization of Homer a thing of vivid reality to us. Nor shall I forget sitting on the site of ancient Troy at even- tide and watching the wonderful transfiguration of Mt. Athos. For sometimes, from Troy, just at sunset, one may sec Mt. Athos, some fifty miles away, but ordinarily wholly invisible, rise up, transfigured by a mirage, to a vast peaked mass of glowing purple high in the sky. It was while we were here, studying Homer and Troy, that our invitation came to a Turkish wed- ding. The invitation appeared in a strange form. Earlv one morning we saw in the distance a man approaching, leading by a rope a lamb, dyed bright crimson. As we were curiously conjecturing what the meaning of so strange a sight could be Dr. Dorpfcld said: All. we arc invited to a wed- ding! and so it proved. One of Dr. Dorpfcld’s old foremen was about to marry his daughter, and so invited his old employer and his guests. In ac- cordance with Turkish custom. Dr. Dorpfcld sig- nified our acceptance by sending in exchange a large piece of red cloth, for which a messenger was at once sent to the nearest town, some two hours distant. Our day, however, was destined to be a long one. for we were to visit Lurnabaschi, a site that long passed as the scene of the Iliad till Schlie- manti’s and Dorpfcld’s excavations at Hissarlik 142 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR laid the question forever at rest. liurnabaschi lies some two hours by horseback in from the sea, and as we were t make a detour to visit the home of Mr. Frank Calvert, the late learned and hos- pitable American consul at the Dardanelles, we were unable to reach our marriage party till late in the afternoon. Our road lay through a beautiful country, very- fertile. well-watered, with great fields of grain, and many a stately oak tree on the hillsides. 'Hie roads were good. Now your Turk in this region deems it beneath his dignity to ride anything but a full-blooded stallion. Consequently, we had rather a lively time for the first hour or two of our ride, which consisted for the most part of a wild gallop across the plain. After a short lecture from Dr. Dorpfeld and a close inspection of the site, we started on the return. After an hour’s ride we approached the village where the mar- riage was held. We were late for the actual cere- mony. to be sure, but our coming was still an event to be chronicled in its annals. W e made a triumphant entry. There were about twenty-five of us, including our military es- cort. ()n the outskirts of the village we were met by a long procession, headed by a couple of men with long poles on which was hung our gift of red cloth, and bv a band of music of four pieces, con- sisting of two extraordinarily shrill llutes and two home-made bass drums. Their scheme or theory of music was delightfully simple. The two flutes tried to drown the two drums, and the two drums tried to drown the two flutes, and so on without any let-up. We formed quite a stately procession; first, the two men with our gift, then our military escort and the band, then the rest of us, two by two, then the father of the bride and all his male relatives for seventy miles around,—and they count rela- tionship in Turkey unto the nth degree,—and fin- ally all the other men and small boys of the village. So we proceeded through the narrow street. All the housetops—the housetops of these flat one- story buildings—form the boulevards of a Turkish town (cf. proclaim it on the housetops” of the New Testament), and here, too, is the recreation ground for the women and the playground for the young children. A balustrade some three feet in height prevents accidents. So all these house- tops were crowded with white-veiled women, look- ing at us with intense curiosity through the peep- holes in their veils. We poured into the small square in front of the bridal house, and soon formed a close-pressed, seething, sweating mass- f horses and men—and then our military escort began to fire a salute with the rifles into the air. and they were firing ball-cartridges, too! The ceaseless, infernal racket of the band and the shouting had been bad enough for our spirited stallions, but when the firing began, then there was trouble! We had gradually got pressed to- gether into a close bunch. With the second shot half those horses stood on their hind legs and kicked with their forelegs, and the other half stood on their forelegs and kicked with their hind legs! At the third shot they simply alternated the performance! The village was literally painted red for the moment as the red-breached crowd of on-looking l urks made a break for the open. For about three minutes it was as lively a mess as I ever got into. However, we disentangled our- selves without serious damage, though the shots continued and the band played on. Then we dis- mounted, partook of sherbet all around, and went in to pay our respects to the. heavily-veiled bride and her equally heavily-veiled mother, first, of course, removing our shoes. After a look at the presents and some more sherbet we were off. Just before our departure we witnessed a couple of very characteristic scenes. Most of us had, mounted and were standing around watching the dancing, when suddenly we heard a cry and saw the Turks leaving the streets everywhere, crowd- ing into houses or climbing walls, and motioning to us to do likewise. I did not know what the matter was. but I managed to get my horse up on a pile of refuse in a corner of the square, just in time, for at that moment there was a whirl and a rush as the common herd of the village cattle swept around the corner coming from the pasture. More than a hundred cows and huge lumbering buffaloes swept by in one solid, rushing mass like a resist- less torrent. For they have in Asia Minor a pe- culiar kind of cattle, huge animals, with massive four-quarters, with a spread of horn sometimes six feet or more, greatly resembling our Ameri- can buffalo. Thinking that all was over I was about to ride down into the street again, when a Turk motioned me to stay where I was. Luckily for me that I did, for in an instant in came the brood mares of the village, some hundred or so beautiful sleek crea- tures, coming from the pasture, these, too, com- ing at the top of their speed in a solid mass! This was the end. and slowly we rode off back to our camp at Troy. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ‘43 Jfrom School to tbc (Srinb X y Hxatbrvne X. iRoIan, i! .t ’04 [Kalhrync L. Nolan was born at Providence, R. I , January 23, 1885. In 1000 she was graduated from the Morse Grammar School, and in 1904 from the English High School. She was an enthusiastic worker for the Radiator, being associate editor. Miss Nolan is a member of the 15. C. S. Club, which originated in High School, and which still holds meetings. She was employed for a few years in the State Mouse, but is now working in the office of the Boston Chamber of Commerce.J LSIE ANDREWS was entirely uncon- scious of the ten pairs of eyes fas- tened upon her as she pleasantly thanked the manager of the insur- ance company and assured him of her entire satisfaction with her surround- ings. Not knowing the routine of the es- tablishment, she was not aware of the unusual attention that had been bestowed upon her. When the manager had left, however, she glanced about to find the attention of each of the ten girls fixed most studiously upon tlie work that con- fronted her. The woman in charge of the depart- ment explained Elsie’s duties in a manner that was vaguely unpleasant and disagreeable; and as the day advanced, her spirits sank more and more, whv, she did not know. Of the ten girls among whom she had been placed, much could be said of each individually. For the most part they were beyond their girlhood days, few had attended high school, and most of them had become intimately acquainted with the hardships of the poorer and more ignorant classes. Life to them meant a mere struggle for existence. They had never learned the value of good fellow- ship, knowing only the pangs of jealousy and envy in another’s welfare. The attractive high school girl, inadvertently thrown in their midst, was made a target for their bitterness and sneers. Each day, armed with the maturer counsel of loving father and mother, Elsie attempted to allay their spitefulness, to say and to do only what she thought would please. Her gentleness was met with jeers, any proud aloofness after a particularly penetrating thrust caused scoffing comment and whispered consultation. How far off seemed those happy days when Elsie was the popular idol of her class, openly ad- mired and beloved by her associates, whose only care was to pass an examination, the study for which they had neglected.—whose greatest unhap- piness was to miss the class dance. Her isolation in the midst of so many was pitiful, her brave effort to overcome the disfavor she had caused, futile. Such a period of disconsolate loneliness Elsie An- drews had never known, and gradually it affected her disposition. From a fun-loving, spirited girl, expecting, almost demanding attention and admir- ation. she was settling into a quiet, reserved woman: her expression had lost some of its open brightness, was often grave, and at times sus- picious. Unconsciously, her big brown eyes would fix themselves upon one f her tormentors in hurt and troubled comprehensiveness until the girl, feeling rightfully accused, would busy herself until Elsie's back was turned, when she would de- mand the ready sympathy and indignation of her circle. The fact that these girls quarreled among themselves did not heal Elsie’s wounded pride. She marveled at their shallowness in taking so lightly ignorant and open insult. Clearly she was an outsider. Relief came after six most bitter and dishearten- ing weeks. and in the round of new duties in the position which was offered and accepted with alacrity. Elsie soon forgot the unpleasant experi- ence. It had. however, served its purpose in the development and rounding of her disposition and character. $ From a circle of aristocratic college chums, with merely the experience of one year as instructor among these same students. Tom Denver, a per- sonal friend of the president’s, undertook to su- perintend the concern where Elsie was employed. It was five vears since her unusual entrance into the business world, and she now held a position of responsibility, requiring intelligence and ability. Iler work brought her in daily contact with the new manager, perhaps more than was absolutely necessary, who knows? He was pleasant and agreeable, clever, though somewhat lazy. rich, and good looking. He had been warmly welcomed by the men over whom he was placed, and Elsie, the beloved Miss Andrews, showed a preference for his society that created much amusement at her expense. One by one. however, the men in his department who had crossed his will had received the benefit of his irritating, sarcastic censure. Elsie noticed a lack of friendliness in their manner 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR toward him. and she had also detected the biting sarcasm in which the rich man’s son so often in- dulged. They had become warm friends, never- theless. and remained so even after he had told her. in a burst of confidence, of the girl to whom he was engaged. Their friendship grew and flourished. In Elsie, younger by a year, but richer by five years of experience. Tom found a valuable source of information and advice. In this hand- some. pampered son of wealth Elsie recognized sterling qualities, uprightness, and ambition not yet aroused. Her own supersensitiveness and ex- perience in the past made it possible for her to en- ter into his every mood, guide and advise hi n most delicately. When the president, a hard and stern master, requested his resignation. Elsie proved her worth. Without hesitancy she pointed out to him wherein he had failed, urged him to accept his defeat man- fully and begin again in a new field. Tom Denver was baffled. Taking what Elsie had said to heart, it seemed as if she, too, had turned against him. Feeling crushed and hurt, appearing peevish, he withdrew. To start afresh in a new field was all that was left for him to do. ‘ Don’t be your father’s son. be somebody yourself,” Elsie had said, and when the first bitter pangs of humiliation had passed away the soundness of this suggestion appealed to him. He became more active and alert, more de- sirous to please than be pleased, conscientious and capable. A change had come over him iii another respect. lie missed the gentle, helpful hints, that restful companionship of one who knew and un- derstood him so well. When it was his he did not appreciate it. but gradually he became con- scious of the fact that his ambition to make good as a matter of self pride was but secondary to the hope that it would meet the approval of one whose intelligence, beauty, and strength of character encouraged in him his most worthy and conscien- tious effort. The beautiful face of his fiancee no longer attracted him. He grew restless and bored in her presence, longed for the society of the girl whose cleverness did not in the least diminish the charm of her personality. The girl the college boy had chosen did not ap- peal to the business man. The proud and arrogant beauty, piqued by his indifference, offered him his liberty, which lie accepted, protesting only weakly. The announcement of the engagement of Elsie Andrews to Tom Denver excited comment among her fellow-workers that was not altogether com- plimentary to the fortunate Tom. Perhaps some of the men felt a little heartsore. Suffice it to say, Elsie was happy. IprctenMno .U3 : Abarfon 6. Eaton, X.. '06 [Marion G. Eaton was horn May 31. 1888.

From his Freshman year Chapin was a frequent contributor to the Radiator, and during the last four months of his Sophomore year he was class editor, elected to till the vacancy left by the res- ignation of Walter Pilcher. Chapin was again class editor his Junior year, and his good work won him the position of editor-in-chief for 1908-’09.

By dint of excellent work he passed off the Freshman English requirements at the recent mid-year examinations, thus completing a whole year’s course in just one-half the prescribed time.) HE sentiment favoring renewal of military drill in our High Schools has been gaining much popularity of late among pupils and teachers. Compulsory military drill was intro- duced in the Boston high schools in 1803. with the intention that the pupils might be of service to the country or community in case of emergency. Since that time much discussion has taken place regarding this subject. It is obvious that to accomplish its purpose the drill must be compulsory and under competent supervision. Beyond this agreement, opinion differs widely. The exponents of drill assert that it is of advan- tage both to the pupil and to the people at large. They say that it provides beneficial physical train- ing of the most efficient sort, and disciplines the mind and morals in good habits; and that it safe- guards peace, law. and order bv making available a large number of partially trained soldiers. On the other hand may be found thoughtful persons who say that the drill does not exert such good influence as is claimed for it. but has a bad effect on the general tenor of the schools where it now exists. Let us consider, then, whether military drill in high school is advantageous either to the individual as a corrective and instructive dis- cipline, physical and mental, or to the nation as an asset in its martial affairs. Our first care is for health, for a sound consti- tution, for a sanitary life. Yet what provision have we made for physical training in our high schools? None whatever, unless physiology may' be construed as such. Now introduce military drill. Through its teachings the boys—and girls, too. if yon like—learn to use and to care for their bodies to the greatest advantage. They acquire ease and grace of motion, proper carriage, at- tributes contributing to the greatest comfort and health; in short, they begin a systematic develop- ment of sound health. Military drill is the best medium for this development because it provides instruction and practice in valuable exercises in the right amount. Unlike school athletics, it does not overtrain a few picked men among the many. It is superior to strictly gymnastic training, not only in this respect, but for other practical reasons. A well-organized system of military drill serves for more than physical training,—it is valuable as a course in physical education. The exigencies of life in a crowded city lead to many elementary blunders, as in habits of eating, sleeping, and ex- ercise. A course in military instruction could, and in some schools does, do much to correct simple errors such as these arising from ignorance or carelessness. In cases it has even been known to check and alleviate physical defects due to nature. Military training as administered in the foremost countries of Europe illustrates this phase of the possibilities. There it aims to provide citizen sol- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «47 dicry and to elevate the physical standard of the race. One may say that the advantages already cited could be obtained by a judicious administration of gymnasium training. I doubt if gymnasium train- ing could have such a broad application. In cer- tain special lines it is undeniably superior, but, even without comparing the relative cost of equip- ments. military drill has a better, more “all-round” effect on the boy. Its value as moral training is by no means slight. The rigid discipline of sol- diery instills obedience, respect for authority, and appreciation of duty as nothing else can. It culti- vates habits of alertness, attention, order, a.id ac- curacy. The evolutions of even simple military tactics teach self-restraint and co-operation. In- deed. a little exercise of stern authority will very rapidly induce many excellent habits. '1 he high school period is the time to put the boy in the power of virtuous habits, as it is the time when he is most susceptible to outside influences, the time when he is laying the foundations of character. Moreover, the effect of this moral uplift is a gen- eral improvement in the tone of the school. It has even been noted by responsible observers to in- crease the positive study power of the pupil by offering temporary relaxation from more studious pursuits. Again, greater exercise of stern author- ity is sadly needed in the education of the modern youth. Parents, teachers, and legislators seem strangely disinclined to check what is becoming a prevalent habit among old and young. I refer to the abnormal development of the principle of per- sonal freedom. Children arc saucy without re- buke, subordinates are insolent with impunity, even acknowledged superiors arc criticised with slight discretion. Such extreme independence should be corrected in this most malleable state of youth. All this sounds very plausible and Utopian, but does it actually work?” you ask. Yes, indeed, my statements are not airy fancies, but hard facts, backed by the authority of capable observers and thinkers. Opponents of militarism cite instances of schools, where military drill is a dismal failure. They state that the drill docs not accomplish its aims but that it does create discord and contention. These evils laid to compulsory military drill itself arc to be traced directly to mismanagement. In- disputably, the principles of military drill aim to produce certain distinct beneficial effects. by, then, if properly managed for a given locality, should their practice result in directly opposite conditions, as is stated, while in other places, both in England and America, it is highly successful? The statement that drill is of no practical value in after life will be disproved by my concluding ar- guments. What objections, then, can there remain of any weight? Merely a question of economy— and surely a city that can pay to teach drawing and music to the sons of day laborers, as well as others, can afford to support a course of instruction in a subject so vitally identified with the health and the culture of the individual and of the nation. Viewed in a broader way than with regard to the immediate effects on the boy, military training has an economic significance to him in later years and to the country at large. It increases the civil effi- ciency of the person at least one-fifth. The business-like habits that he acquires render him a more effective laborer or a more intelligent, capable leader of men. This affirmation is vouched for by many men of wide experience in commercial fields. Army recruits who have previously served in some such organization are found to make bet- ter soldiers than those who have not in from one- quarter to one-third of the time. Thus troops could be prepared for emergency with a great sav- ing of time, labor, and money. Our country, of all. is in the position to need a military reserve. Many nations compel a term of service in the army, fol- lowed by a period of “reserve duty, to ensure this force. Think how the Japanese can call on nearlv every male for sudden warlike service. Prominent German writers and statesmen attribute the re- markable success of their nation, in peace or war. to the system of military training. Put Uncle Sam does not make any such provision. Yet our stand- ing army is exceedingly small for a world power. This fact makes it imperative that we should have a reserve of partially trained soldiers available. Toward that, compulsory instruction in high school would be a big stride. Moreover, such physical, mental, and moral education of the indi- vidual would raise the standard of the nation. Since a nation’s power lies in the health and intelli- gence of its people, we should rise in power, not by bellicose preparation but by quiet preparedness for eventualities, bv an increase of potential energy. We see. in brief, that military training is desir- able in high school for important, well-authenti- cated reasons. Under competent management, it is the physical exercise best adapted to the needs of high school pupils. It is a considerable factor in their mental and moral education. 'Hie training secured in youth is of value both to the individual in after life and to the nation. Since proper admin- istration can produce these highly desirable results, our duty is plain. Somerville should fall in line with those who have already taken up the work. Military drill should be compulsory in our high schools. 148 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR TO Sumner A.

Gumimnos, ’06, f?arv arO, ’10 | Mr. Cummings linishccl the regular course in three and a hah' years, and is now in the Graduate School. He made Phi Beta Kappa, the highest scholastic honor attainable at Harvard or any other institution.] 1 present there are forty-three gradu- ates of the Somerville High Schools registered in Harvard Col- 'II lege and the various departments of the university. The Somerville bovs are showing the tendency, true of the whole college, of completing the work in three years, and either entering one of the graduate departments or leaving college. Of the present Senior class, live members have done this, and all the Somerville fellows in the Medical School have been three-year men in college. The fellows are showing more interest in college affairs outside of the studies, as is seen by the fact that the majority are members of the Harvard Union and many are living at college. At present thirteen fel- lows are living at college, two of whom are Fresh- men. This is a good thing as indicative of the fact that the fellows realize that it is possible to get just as much college life by going to Harvard as to any more distant college. Of the Senior class Irving Carpenter, having completed the college work in three years and taken his degree in June. 1909, is now in the first year of Law School. W hile in college he made the Kappa Gamma Chi society. Leslie Cum- mings is studying for an A. M. in Education in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. William Dolan is in the Medical School, and Herbert San- born is studying for a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering in the Graduate School of Applied Science. Saxton Foss, another three-year man, has left college and is a reporter for the Somerville Journal. Charles Merrill, George Sargent, Charles Sliarry and J. R. Wedgwood are all candidates for the degree of A. I� . Sargent is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and a singer in the Chapel choir. In the Junior class, Henry Doyle made the sec- ond group of scholars last year, and is a member of the new Harvard Dining Council as one of the representatives for Randall Hall, and is also active in debating. W. E. Merrill, who is studying civil engineering, was also in the second group last year. J. 11. Leonard is specializing in the clas- sics, and A. L. Miller in mathematics. Rufus Tucker, who made the first group of scholars last year and received a Detur, is also interested in de- bating. Prescott Wilde is a member of the Pi Eta Society. Irving Poole of the Delta Upsilon Frater- nity. L. Winship and II. Williams and K. P. Hill are all candidates for the degree of A. P� . The Sophomore class has more representatives in athletics than any other. E. Arnold made his Freshman lacrosse team, playing an excellent game at goal. W. Blackett, who was captain of the Freshman lacrosse team, will probably make good on the ’varsity team this spring. A. L. McLean made his numerals in Freshman basket- ball, and was on the Freshman baseball squad, just failing to make his numerals. W. Patrick and J. Cohen are both studying for an A. P . degree. The Freshman class, numbering nine members, have yet to distinguish themselves, but have shown the right spirit in getting into some activity at once. Two of them have rooms at college this year. A. Newton has joined the Freshman De- bating Club, and Stuart Howe, the Aeronautical Club. The class is composed of the following members: B. Bennett. E. W. Chapin. J. Couch. C. Holmes, S. Howe, II. McLean, J. C. Milliken, and E. Slater. Somerville is represented in the Medical School by W. Dolan, first year; E. Pratt, second: II. ( bickering, J. Heggarty, and C. L. McCrossan, third year. Charles M. Ambrose. Latin. ’98, has been ap- pointed trustee of the Somerville Public Librarv. Other graduates of the Latin School holding pub- lic positions in the city are: Frank W. Kaan. Latin. '78, city solicitor: Ernest W. Bailey, Latin, ’SI. city engineer: Walter T. Littlefield. Latin. '88. commissioner of public buildings; Frederic W. Cook, Latin, ’91, city clerk.

Ireland and Knight hold without doubt the highest honors in athletics. Ireland is also to be captain of next year's ’Varsity football team. Knight has. won three T’s, an honor rarely earned. Tufts offers to Somerville graduates what no other college is able; namely, a chance to attend one of the medium-sized colleges near home. For anyone who desires to live at home for a part of his college course and still get into college life, Tufts affords an ideal opportunity. ----------■■ ■ The engagement is announced of Lucie B.

Oo; Dartmouth, ’ll LTHOL'GH Dartmouth has attained the name of being a favorite college for Somerville men. at the present time the number in Hanover is smaller than it has been in former years. The catalogue of the present year shows that there are but fourteen Somerville men enrolled at Dartmouth. The Freshman class holds the record with five men, and it is hojK'd that in future years this number will not decrease, and that future statistics will show that the present low number is due to an abnormal slump in the years of 1907 and 1908. In the Senior class there are four Somerville men. Leslie Wiggin was graduated from the English High School in 1905, took an extra year at the Latin School, and then entered Dartmouth. He is a prominent student here, is a member of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity and the Casque and Gauntlet Senior Society, lie is a prominent member of the Musical Club, and last year con- tributed a song to the musical comedy presented at Junior Prom. Wiggin was a member of the Junior Prom committee, and lent his assistance in making last year's Prom one of the best ever held. Arthur Coleman Gow graduated from the Latin School in 1901� , entering here the following fall. He has developed the adaptability to art that he displayed in his high school days on the Radiator. and is now art editor of the Jack-O-Lantern. the comic monthly. He has also done much illus- trating for the Dartmouth Literary Magazine, and has contributed articles for the same paper. An- other Somerville boy to be connected with the Literary Magazine is Gay Gleason of the class of 1901!. Latin School. Gleason is business manager of that publication. He is a member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa Fraternity and of the Cerclc Fran- caise. Arthur F. Doe was graduated from the Latin School in 1905. and is a member of the pres- ent Senior class. He is a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. During his Freshman year he was a member of the track squad, and since entering college has played on the ’varsity hockey team, being one of the best men that Dart- mouth has in this sport. The Junior class claims three Somerville men. at this standing, although formerly the number • Since till� Article wa put in type Gow was elected class odist and Wiggin lloor director of the Commencement ball. was larger. Thornton A. Snow was of the Eng- lish !907 class. He is a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, and is business manager of the Jack-O-Lantern. Ralph E. Whitman graduated from the Latin School in 1907, and entered Dart- mouth that fall. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, and is assistant mana- ger of the golf team. Gabriel Farrell. Jr., was graduated from the Latin School in 19CG. but did not enter college for a year. He is a member of the Gamma Delta Epsilon Fraternity. Farrell is a member ol the Press Club, being correspondent for papers in Boston, New York. Chicago, and Springfield. I he class of 190S of the Latin School must have been weak in college material, for onlv three of its members reached Hanover the following fall. Thev were R. L. Newton. J. H. Phelps, and M. E. Allen. Two other members of that class arrived a year late, and arc enrolled in the Freshman class after spending years at Andover and Tufts respectively. These are Nat P. Rice and A. D. Healey. The rest of the Freshman delegation are Robert Crcnncr. Walter II. Nolan, and N. S. Thayer. ----------------------------------------- JB. 1. 5., ’04 The P� . C.

No curves were allowed, the men only working out their arms. The following men were out for pitcher: Mixer, Pike, Wing. Lewis, Prior. Laurie, Cliff, Dickerman. Tarleton. Holmes. Catchers. R. Garland. Ginn, Woodman. McDougal, Knox. Stewart. Coach Dickinson was greatly pleased with Wing, who is developing speed. Ginn is a new man to the High School, and is a catcher from reports. Ginn and Mixer played together last summer on a camp team on the Cape. Baseball Goacb Mr. Dickinson was again chosen coach of the baseball team. Mr. Dickinson played on the High School team when here, and his record in college is also an enviable one, as he was all-American sec- ond baseman for three years. He has been suc- cessful in his coaching. Although luck broke bad last season in baseball, he expects a better team this year. He turned out the only state champion football team the school ever had. Htbletic Cbat There has been criticism of the reports of games in these columns being late. We would like to re- mind the student body that our notes have to be turned in the very first of the month. The following men are the veterans available for this year’s baseball team: Pike, Mixer. Lewis, pitchers: Miles, first: Garland. Mathews, second; Norton, s.s.; Parks. Dickerman, third. Many other promising candidates arc expected out. jfootball Banquet Tuesday evening. March 8, at Anthoine 11 all, at a little after seven o'clock, three hundred twenty-five loyal citizens of Somerville, students of the Somer- ville High Schools, and invited guests sat down to a lavishly-prepared banquet to pay tribute to the Somerville High School football squad of 1909, champions of the state, who were present as the guests of honor. It is difficult to adequately ex- press the completeness of the success of the entire occasion, and right here it should be said that much of the credit is due Warren C. Daggett, who, as chairman of the committee of arrangements, worked unceasingly and efficiently for many weeks up to the very evening, when he ran things ofif with grace and precision. Guests began to arrive as early as six o’clock, and an hour of informal receptions and reunions of citizens and old graduates was enjoyed until, to the martial strains of McGee’s orchestra, they filed into the spacious dining hall. The football squad was next to enter, and their appearance was greeted with prolonged applause. After prayer by the Rev. L. G. Clevenger, all sat down and at- tacked the delicious and satisfying repast so well served by Hicks. After every one had eaten to his full content. Mr. Daggett, in a few well-chosen words, introduced Colonel Edward Glines, L., ’f 9, as toastmaster. Colonel Glines spoke feelingly of the splendid achievements of the football team, of the high esteem and kindly spirit in which Cousens SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR '57 was held by schoolmates, team-mates, and citizens, and payed a glowing tribute to Dr. Baxter, whom he. as a high school boy. had welcomed as the first principal of the Latin School, forty-three years ago. He presented as the first speaker his honor, Mayor John M. Woods. Mr. Woods spoke of the clean, wholesome manner in which the team had played all its games, and ended by reading a fitting quotation from the Bible. William A. Murphy, the governor's private secretary, was unable to be present, and Toastmaster (dines called upon State Treasurer Elmer A. Stevens to represent the state. Mr. Stevens said that although he was not born nor educated in Somerville, he nevertheless was deeply interested in the schools and in the success of their athletics. Senator Charles V. Blanchard could not attend, but he sent a letter, read by Mr. Daggett, in which he congratulated the football team on its wonderful showing, and offered two silver cups to be competed for by Somerville High School athletes as the executive committee of the Athletic Association should decide. Representa- tive Charles L. Underhill was the next speaker, and he. like Senator Stevens, emphasized the fact that he wished to be counted among the loyal support- ers of the High School teams, although he never attended the High School. Mr. Underhill cited three different occasions on which he had shown his loyalty to Somerville athletics. Ex-Repre- sentative Robert Luce. L.. '77. next spoke, and his speech was full of sound advice, both for the game of football and the game of life. Toastmaster Clines then called upon Rev. William It. Whitney, an old Harvard ’varsity football player. Mr. Whit- ney related interesting reminiscences of football as it used to be played. District Attorney John J. Higgins was the next speaker. He brought out the ideal presented to the team by the Somerville flag, red for courage, blue for fidelity. Mr. Bean of the committee then stepped forward, and. in lie- half of the team, presented Coach Dickinson with a gold watch. Superintendent of Schools Charles S. Clark was the next speaker, and he showed that there was no fixed ideal of education and that athletics surely had their place. Dr. Baxter was next called upon to speak and he was given a spon- taneous and enthusiastic reception. Both he and Mr. Avery, who followed him. had words of con- gratulation and praise for the team. Mr. Avery also urged that athletics be more widely extended in Somerville, and he urged the building of a High School gymnasium. Lothrop Withington, Jr., cap- tain-elect of the 1910 Harvard 'varsity football team, was next introduced, and he touched a spon- taneous chord when he said that Somerville licked the pants off Waltham. He devoted the rest of his speech to a plea for more Somerville boys, particularly athletes, to go to Harvard. Charles T. C. Whitcomb, past head-master of the English School, and now holding a similar position at Brockton, said in his speech that he was still a Somerville man in spirit if not in body. Edward de Almeida, the old Somerville Latin and Tufts varsity captain, who helped coach the team for the Waltham game, was the next speaker. I fe told of the origin of the school colors and added his plea to Mr. Avery's for a High School gymnasium. Edwin P. Fitzgerald. L., 03, Harvard, '01, also en- dorsed this proposal and urged the need of more supervised athletics. Captain Fred Forg thanked the team for the support they had given him. those present for the loval way in which they had stood by the team, and the committee in charge for their kindness in giving a banquet. hi response to many calls. Pep Cousens made a speech, which closed the evening's enjoyment. Cousens ex- pressed his appreciation for the many good things which had been said about him that night and ex- pressed the hope that the next man of his race to try for a Somerville High team be as well treated as he had been. Throughout the evening there was a quantity of good feeling, evidenced by much singing and cheering for the team and the various speakers.

There are better ball players on the field now than there were at the end of last season.” So says Coach Dickinson. This ante-season view of Som- erville’s baseball prospects may be a bit disap- pointing to many supporters of the Red and Blue, but to us it is a very hopeful sign, for it shows the right spirit on the part of the coach. Without overrating its abilities, Mr. Dickinson is laboring diligently with the material on hand, and he can be relied upon to produce a successful team, that is, a team that makes the most of its possibilities. And. after all, this is the acme of success. Baseball is in a precarious condition in Somer- ville. Realizing this fact. Mr. Dickinson has undertaken the gigantic task of building up the game. And he has begun with the foundations. During the summer months, as supervisor of the city playgrounds, he instructs the “kids” in the rudiments of the game; again, with the purpose of developing latent material, Mr. Dickinson has organized class teams in High School, and has do- nated a cup to be contested for in an interclass series this spring. This upbuilding process is a slow one; but it is bound to bear fruit within a few years. Coach Dickinson is doing a great work for Somerville High School baseball. He is to be congratulated on his broad grasp of the situation. Coach Dickinson is ably assisted in the team’s development by Manager Bennett and Captain Mixer. Bennett has arranged an attractive, well- balanced schedule; the strongest high school teams in the state will be seen on the home grounds. Although somewhat handicapped by a bad knee, Captain Mixer is showing marked ability in directing the team. No listlessness is al- lowed, and every man on the field is kept keyed up to the highest pitch of alertness. It will be very surprising if Somerville docs not prove a stumbling block to more than one aspirant for Interscholastic League honors. tr r v The showing made by the High School hockey and basket ball teams, which recently closed their respective seasons, was, all things considered, very creditable. With several of the best trips can- celled on account of faculty restrictions, the games poorly attended, and entirely unsupported by the Athletic Association, Captain Donahue and his men nevertheless did remarkably well. Some of the more notable victories were those over Med- ford High, champions of the Inter-Preparatory League, and Dorchester High, one of the fastest teams of Greater Boston; while Arlington High, state champions, had difficulty in obtaining a hard- fought tie. Although unable to repeat the success of last year, the 1909-T0 basket ball team made a strong bid for the championship, and was not declared out of the running until the final whistle of the final game. Oddly enough, this game (with Win- throp) was the best attended of the year. Perhaps if the sporting fraternity had turned out as well to the earlier contests of the season, Somerville High would once more have been returned champions of Greater Boston. As it was, however, Somer- ville’s percentage of victories entitles her to sec- ond rank, while the second team proved the strongest in High School circles. � K 'Hie English School is one of the few high schools in New England which set aside an Ivy Day for the Seniors. In 1895 Mr. Whitcomb in- troduced this class exercise, and since then each SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 class has planted an ivy, until at the present time almost the entire front of the school is covered with the shining' leaves. As is the case at Har- vard and other colleges, this exercise has always had the significance of a farewell on the part of the Senior class to its Alma Mater, and is an oc- casion when, in some mysterious manner, even the smallest Freshman is inspired with a feeling of loyalty to his school. It is this feeling which makes the exercise valuable. For the past two years the actual planting of the ivy has been apparently in vain, but Ivy Day as a school ceremonial has not been in vain, be- cause it has brought pupils to appreciate the real meaning of school life. So we hope that the class of 1910 will make an effort to continue the time- honored custom, and say its farewell bv planting an ivy. L. r Miss Merrill’s serious sickness was the cause for several days of deep anxiety to her many friends, in school and out, but we are all glad to learn that she is on the road to recovery. Miss Merrill’s ab- sence will be a big loss to the English School teaching force, and will also be keenly felt by the Radiator, as she supervised all material from the English School, and was the means of procuring many of the best stories. Everything, however, is secondary to health, and we trust that Miss Mer- rill will return to school fully recuperated from her long siege. � r r r “Hello, Jack! Who're y’ going to take to the Junior dance? What! Not going! Why, Jack, you’ll miss the time of your life! You went to the soiree, didn’t you? Well, the Junior dance doesn’t cost (|iiite so much, but it will be just as good, if not better, for it’s to be informal. That means that you won't be expected to wear a dress suit, and you know yourself that a fellow really enjoys himself more when he isn’t all primped up in a stiff shirt. You say you think you’ll go? That's the boy! And say. Jack, get your folks to drop in for an hour or two and watch things from the bal- cony—it’s only a quarter. Well, so long. Jack! Sure, I’ll be there.” The Radiator staff regrets the loss of Everett Adams, second assistant business manager, who has left school to take advantage of a tempting business opportunity. Wayne M. Hodgdon has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Hodgdon has an excellent record in his studies, and is not new to Radiator work, as lie has frequently helped in the monthly cash sales in the English School. We extend to him a cordial welcome, and are confident that lie will meet the responsibilities of the office with the same efficiency that has characterized his former work. r r Credit is due the English School for her great progress in literary lines. Since the Somerville- Maiden debate the society has held, in the school lecture hall, two interesting debates and a mock trial, the first thing of its kind this year. The school ably supported the debaters by well attend- ing the meetings. The French divisions are at present very en- thusiastic about the French play, Doigts de Fee,” which will be given May 27 at Unitarian Hall. There are fourteen in the cast, all selected from the Senior divisions. Miss Marvel has managed some very successful plays in recent years, and we know that the coming one will be well worth seeing. L. Just a word about the June Radiator. The June Radiator will contain from 80 to 100 pages, including a dozen or more full-page cuts of the athletic teams, graduating classes, class offi- cers, editorial boards, etc.; stories and class notes, the best and most plentiful of the year; finally, a complete directory, giving the name and address of every teacher and pupil in either school.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 166 H IDouble Xtragebv If rands H. iDaulsbp, X., TO ()n ihc morning of September , 189—, these headlines attracted the attention of the readers of the New Orleans Daily Telegram:— STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SON OF RICH PLANTATION OWNER MISSING. NO CLUES AS TO WHEREABOUTS. The space below was devoted to the circum- stances of the case. The boy had last been seen playing around the ocean wharves. But at this point the clues stopped. The disappearance of the son of such a prominent citizen as was Mr. Landcrson, the boy’s father, naturally caused con- siderable excitement, and manv theories were ad- vanced as to his probable fate. Some thought that Kenneth, through love of adventure, had hid- den on board a ship which, at the time, was lying at the wharf, in the hope of being carried to the vessel’s northern destination. Others suggested that, since the day was very warm, the boy had sought relief by going in swimming, had been seized with cramps, and had drowned. The former theory was soon proved false by the cap- tain of the ship in question, and thus the latter, despite the fact that all attempts to find Kenneth’s body were unsuccessful, was gencrallv accepted as the more probable. A few people, to be sure, averred that they had seen the boy on his way home from the wharf, but this story was dis- credited on the ground that, if true, he would soon have been found. Several months later, in the little town of Northfield. N. I!.. an event occurred which startled the whole countryside, and which gave the good country folk a subject over which to gos- sip for months to come. This is how it happened. Early in the morning of January 17.-. and a mighty cold morning it was. too.—old Joshua Smith, one of the oldest inhabitants of the place, entered Silas Hucston’s general provision store and seated himself in the genial warmth of the old-fashioned stove. The enmity existing between Josh” and Si.” as the two men were familiarly called, was a by-word among the villagers. Just what had caused the unpleasantness was not definitely known, but it was understood that Silas had grievously wronged Joshua in their younger days, and that “Josh” had been vainly trying to get even” for the last thirty years. Be that as it may. on this particular morning old Joshua, after warming himself to his heart’s content, gruffly demanded a gallon of molasses. Si. with exasperating slowness, proceeded to obey. Measure in hand, he shuffled his way to the hogshead. It was not the first time, by any means, that molasses had been called for that win- ter, and Silas knew that there could not be much, if any. left. His estimation of the hogshead’s capacity was apparently correct, for, on turning the spigot, the sticky fluid barelv trickled out, and soon came to a dead stop. He tilted the keg on end, and still none came. Greatly surprised, how- ever. by its weight, he procured a hatchet and started to remove the head. At this point, Josh. who had begun to suspect that his molasses was not forthcoming, shambled up to watch proceedings. As Silas lifted the cover, a peculiar, sickening odor pervaded the room, but neither “Josh” nor Si was prepared for the gruesome sight which he beheld on peering into the disclosed cavity. For there, curled around inside the hogshead, its head twisted back in an unnatural position, its distorted face upturned, and eyes bulging out in a ghastly stare, was the body of a child of about eight or nine years, plainly long since dead! The two men stared at each other in silence. Mingled amazement and horror were written on Silas’s face, but an expression of savage glee sud- denly appeared on Joshua's wrinkled countenance. Silas, divining his thoughts, exclaimed: For God’s sake, ‘Josh.’ don't tell of this! It would ruin me! But old Joshua, with never a word, quietly left the store with a look on his face which caused Silas’s heart to turn sick within him. The next day the story was out in all its horrible details. Joshua Smith had “got even”! When the story reached New Orleans and the body had been identified as that of Kenneth Landcrson, the mystery was, of course, partially SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR cleared, but it was more fully explained at the death of a certain Geoffrey Wilson, foreman of Mr. Landerson s sugar-cane plantation. This man, who had been in Mr. Landerson’s employ for many years, left, among his effects, a sealed en- velope bearing the inscription: “To be made public at my death. ' The following confes- sion was found inside, short, but to the point:— I, the undersigned, hereby declare that Ken- neth Landerson, who disappeared from New Orleans September 5, 189—, met his death by accident on that same day. The accident oc- curred in the pressroom of Mr. Landerson’s sugar-cane plantation after the boy had returned from the wharf. Ah, how main times have I lived 167 that scene over in my mind’s eye! Oh, God! I cannot bear—my hand revolts from setting down that wretched affair in black and white! Let it suffice to say that I was to blame. Well realizing this, and fearing the consequences of Mr. Landerson’s remorseless wrath, 1 sought to hide my guilt. Beside myself with terror. I looked about the room. In one corner was an empty hogshead. An idea struck mv frenzied brain. Seizing poor Kenneth’s unresisting body, 1 thrust it into the hogshead, which I filled with molasses, headed up, and placed with others, which, as I knew, were soon to be shipped north. And this— God forgive me—is the truth concerning Kenneth Landerson’s disappearance. “Geoffrey Wilson ’ jfor Ifocr Sake J!3v? Unes S. Xaurie, no r was one of those dark, stormy even- ings in the latter part of November. Ernest Stoddard walked slowly home through the muddy streets to his lit- tle side room in the Browns' lodging house. He was in the depths of de- spair. Only a month ago he had returned to Clarendon University for his fourth term, and now —well, there seemed to be no hope now—he had been expelled! He nervously unlocked the door, and went up to the third floor to his modest lodgings. It’s the toughest luck I’ve ever struck! lie muttered, throwing himself on his cot bed. He seemed almost stupefied, and remained mo- tionless for fully an hour. ()nly that morning he was the happiest boy in school. He had been in Math. class when word came that he was wanted in the office. He hurried down. Professor Gage and a tall, gaunt man, whom he had never seen before, were there. “Stoddard, kindly write your name on this slip. said Professor Gage, looking a little troubled. Stoddard wrote his name in his large handwrit- ing with its peculiar flourishes; then handed the paper to the professor. The latter showed it to Detective Gray, the tall man, and the two men looked at each other in silence. It looks much the same, doesn’t it? asked the professor, producing another paper. Then turning to Stoddard, he said: “This is a forgery of Mr. Elston’s name, and it looks like your writing.” Stoddard stood dumbfounded. The writing certainly was like his. but what was it all about? lie did not speak, but many things passed through his mind. He thought of Harold Clarke, who, with no apparent reason, had borrowed his Eng- lish notebook three days ago. On receiving it back, he had found in it a piece of yellow paper covered with pen strokes, but had thought little of the incident. Then he thought of Clarke’s sister, Marion, the girl he loved most in the world. He could never let Clarke be blamed for her ’ sake. Stoddard was not, by any means, a wealthy lad, but helped pay his tuition by working in the bursar’s office. The forgery was the bursar’s name in Stoddard’s writing. Professor Gage continued; I think the best thing for you to do is to leave college quietly, and thus avoid notoriety.” Stoddard left the office. He suspected Clarke, but, for Marion’s sake, he remained silent. He would, by far. rather take the blame. $ Early the next morning Ernest Stoddard luir- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 168 ried into the large, noisy city to find a position. He was troubled. All day he wandered up and down the crowded streets, and returned home in the evening discouraged, his efforts fruitless. He slept little that night, and next morning started «nit again with fresh determination. This time he had better success. He obtained a modest position, cutting leather for harnesses in a large factory. Now he was in better spirits, for he had found something to occupy his thoughts. Meanwhile. Detective Gray visited Stoddard’s room. I Ie examined his things, and on looking at his books, came across the English notebook. The loose paper fell to the door. lie picked it up and carefully scrutinized it. “Can there be any mistake about this matter?” he asked himself. Putting the yellow paper in his pocket, he left the room, telling the landlady that he would be back in the evening. Stoddard returned from work exhausted from his unaccustomed labor. A week had passed since his suspension, but he had not written to his mother or to Marion. “I simply can’t do it.” he was saying. “How can I let them know of my disgrace? 1 didn’t think Clarke was such a mean fellow.” A knock at the door brought him to his feet. “Come in.” he said, expecting to see the land- lady. Instead, the tall detective entered, and, walking to the table, sat down in front of it. “My boy. he began. “I know there is some mix-up about this affair. You must tell me now just what you know about it. I don’t believe you forged the check! Stoddard did not speak. Mr. Gray continued: I was here this morning to find further evidence, and I found this paper (unfolding the yellow paper as he spoke). Where did you get it? Did you write these letters on it ? ’ No. replied Stoddard. ‘I did not.” “I didn’t think you did. said the detective. “P y the way. who is that Clarke whom von were speaking about to yourself just before I came? I was listening to what you said. You said you IMcjfo School Concert Club A dancing party, given by the High School Concert Club, will be held at Anthoine Academy Thursday evening, April 28.

I was just thinking how he had cut me out with a girl, that’s all. “Come, tell me the truth. said Mr. Gray. “I can’t understand why you should be hiding it. Although unable to obtain anything from Stod- dard. the detective left the room convinced that lie had accused the wrong person. A week had elapsed since the detective’s visit. Stoddard had moved from the lodging house to a little room in the city, near the factory. No one knew where lie had gone. Detective Gray was busily working on the case. The pen strokes on the yellow paper convinced him that Clarke knew something about the mat- ter; so at his order all of Stoddard’s nearest friends, including Clarke, were summoned to Pro- fessor Gage’s office. Which of you borrowed Stoddard’s English notebook? he asked, watching Clarke very closely. No one answered, but Clarke’s face became flushed. “I should like to see you alone for a minute. said the detective, beckoning to Clarke, and dis- missing the others. “Have you ever seen this before? he asked, producing the yellow slip. Clarke was frightened into confession. Yes. he replied guiltily. I left it by mistake in the notebook. His head dropped as he said: I forged—the—check! The two left the office. That same evening Ernest Stoddard was back with the bunch. his college chums. The boys had left no stone unturned until they had found their Old Stod. They had engaged his old room in the Browns’ lodging house, and had pre- pared a spread for him. Stoddard was very happy, a fact not at all les- sened by the presence, in his pocket, of a little note in a girlish handwriting. Club notes The T. B. Club will hold a private dancing party April 22 at Riverbank Court. Cambridge. The Tau Upsilon Delta Fraternity held a ladies' night on April 14. It was the most delightful gathering of its kind this season. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 169 Ibis |p onv’6 ZTClbnmv UBy? Sumner H. iDcafc, ’10 OCKHART UPHAM sat on a boulder, watching: the sun slowly set behind the Sierras. He was a square-shouldered youth, with a frank face, but now lie sat with his chin in his hands, plainly discour- aged. W anting to see the world, he had left home and wandered to Nevada, where he had become acquainted with Colliding McKelvy. Colliding was an old prospector, and, since he was just starting out fresh again, had offered to take Lock- hart as a partner. They had bought a new outfit, and found a somewhat promising mine. After building a shack, they had taken several samples of ore in different places. Twice Colliding had taken samples to Carson City to have them tested for gold, and twice lie had returned with a dis- couraging report. He was now on his third trip, and was expected back soon. To save expense, only one of the partners had made these trips, and so Lockhart was left alone at the shack. If this report was also a failure, he had determined to pack up and try some other pursuit. The setting sun dropped behind a cloud, and he arose and started toward the shack. At the same moment. Colliding appeared, coming over the top of a hill. Lockhart ran toward him eagerly to hear the result of the last test. His hones were dashed to the ground, however, when his partner reported that a hopelessly small percentage of gold had been found. That night lie packed his grip, sold his interest in the claim, together with the horses and outfit, to his partner, and left. Colliding said he would try just once more. Lockhart’s way led down through the Arizona desert, and here, with an eye open for business, he bought a spring of water from an old Mexican. The spring was right in the heart of the desert, and was the only water for a hundred miles around. Pack trains passed almost daily, and he charged a high price for water. Water, however, was necessary, and the pack-drivers were willing to pay the price. Here, although somewhat lonely, lie made big money, intending to save it until lie had a fortune, and then to sell out and leave. Put one day a large train of mules came down from the north, and Colliding was its owner. '1 he party was nearly exhausted for want of water, and the men drank eagerly. Lockhart was surprised at the wealth of his old partner, and, calling one of his men aside, he asked him some questions. The man said that Colliding had struck a bonanza in Nevada and had become very rich. The location the man gave corresponded to the location of Lockhart’s old mine. Suddenly the truth dawned upon him. He had been green, and had been taken in. Colliding had made the trips alone to Carson City. The quartz had been found to be rich in gold, and he had determined to have it all for himself. Colliding had lied about it. counting on Lockhart’s discouragement to make him sell out. and had then developed the mine and obtained all the profits. Wrath flamed up in Lockhart. The half-dead mules and horses had not yet drunk, and he im- mediately refused them water. Calling Colliding aside, lie informed him that the animals could have no water until he himself received his rightful share of the profits. It was a pitiless thing to do, but Lockhart had been swindled, and here was his chance for revenge. (ioulding refused, how- ever, and was obdurate. He said he would not be forced to surrender half of his fortune, even if everv man and horse in the outfit died of thirst. Lockhart decided to wait a while and sec if lie did not change liis mind. Night came on. and the scene around the spring was pitiful. The men were again suffering for water, and the horses were in great agony. At midnight he walked among the horses, and his heart was touched. Nevertheless, lie turned resolutely away. This time he held the trump card and was going to use it. Put as he turned away, he heard a shrill whinny, which sounded familiar. Again he heard it. and recognized it as the call of his old pony, which he sold with the rest of the outfit. He went to the pony, and her terrible condition smote him, as she looked at him with imploring eyes. He was unable to refuse that dumb appeal, and quickly brought her water. Put lie had given in once, and now had no heart to refuse the other horses. One by one, he gave them water, and could almost read thanks in their eyes. Then he sat down to think. He had lost his chance be- cause he could not refuse a pet a drink of water. A form appeared out of the darkness, and SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 170 Colliding sat down beside the boy. For several minutes both were silent, and then Colliding spoke. ‘■Roy, you have not lost as you think, but you have won. 1 am a stubborn man. and wouldn't have been forced to yield to you, even if the whole outfit had perished. Your pity for dumb animals has won for you what force could never have won.” With that he divided the proceeds of the mine. As soon as possible Lockhart sold the spring, and set out for home. With him. however, went the pony, whose whinny had won for him what his revenge could never have won. Xafcv of tbe 2 mmg� 1Room J6y Pauline flDernll, IE., ’to ITTY BRADFORD breathed a sigh of relief as she gave a last look at the great dining-hall before she left it for the night. Everything was in order; the chairs were in their places, the silver shone on the oak sideboards, and the linen was snowy white. She switched out the lights, and swung the great doors into place. Kitty, although a young girl and a student, had the superintendence of the dining-hall at F------- Seminary, a co-cducational institution, most of whose students came from wealthy homes. Half way up the stairs before her on the landing was a wide, old-fashioned settle, piled with bright pillows, and around it a group of girls were gathered. Kitty passed them, unheeded, as they chattered on excitedly. One of them was saying: “And I have the prettiest dress to wear!” “What color is it?” asked another. “Pale green, with silver trimmings, and it's as pretty as Mil- dred’s.” Kitty crossed the corridor at the head of the stairs and entered her study. “Somehow I feel just like writing to-night,” she said, as she took up a pen. “It’s a long time since I have.” “How much more one appreciates the educa- tion one earns.” she wrote stiffly. “How little the girls here realize what it means. They talk about their dresses, their ’sets.’ and the richest boys in school, and snub me because I often tell them that they are wasting time, but they don’t worry much over their failures.” Her pretty, eager face was flushed, and she continued: “They think I am poor and even jealous of them. They are snob- bish girls, and yet they come from good people.” There came a light tap at the door, and al- though the little flag marked “Busy” was hanging on the door, a girl walked in and sat down. Well, Anna, I am glad to see you,” said Kitty, “Where have you been lately?” “Oh. I just ran over from home for a minute to tell you that I have been invited to a college af- fair. Aren’t you going to the house party at Canoza next Saturday?” Xo. 1 haven't heard much about it. I've been pretty busy lately. The Thctes’ arc planning the affair. It will probably be the last time this fall there will be any canoeing. 1 wish you were going. Oh, I say, isn't Ted Dean a ‘Thete’?” A faint blush came over Kitty’s face for a sec- ond. but she answered indifferently: “I believe so.” At that moment some girls were passing through the corridor, and one was saying dis- tinctly: “And our lady of the dining-room hasn’t been invited.” The following Saturday dawned sunny and warm. It was one of those late fall days when summer seems to return, and Canoza river rippled and sparkled in the warm sunlight. On a little knoll on one bank of the river stood a little green cottage with an immense veranda shaded by gay awnings. Mr. and Mrs. Dean, the parents of the Senior president, Ted Dean, were sitting there, surrounded by a few couples. Why don't you young people go out on the river? Run along now and hire your canoes!” Now Mrs. Dean, you know we couldn’t leave SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 171 you, and besides you and Mr. Dean need chaper- oning very much yourselves, answered a saucy girl. Up and down the river canoes were drifting or skimming swiftly, with the sun Hashing brightly on their paddles. Under the drooping trees on the riverside were canoes beached on the sand. Hello, people! shouted a merry voice, and suddenly around a bend of the river appeared a red canoe, with Teddy Dean paddling, and with Kitty opposite,'—Kitty dressed in white, with her curly hair rumpled by the breeze, and Ted in white flannels. Well. I thought she wasn’t invited.” said a ‘’co-ed's voice from a canoe by the bank. Who- ever thought 'Fed would bring her? Mildred, you said only our set was coming. A gaudy yellow canoe shot out behind Ted’s, and “Smile pretty for the lady. sang out a mock- ing masculine voice through a megaphone. Click! came from the camera, and a snap shot was secured for later production. Canoes of all colors and sizes were collecting around Ted and Kitty under the trees, and sud- denly a graphophonc in their canoe began to play the familiar Stein Song. From a-down the river canoes glided silently towards the spot, and Senior Soiree The Senior soiree was held Tuesday evening. March 2!). in Anthoine Academy, and fully justi- fied all the good things that had been predicted of it. The decorations of red and blue, the music, furnished by Dixon’s orchestra, and the dainty dance orders were of superior quality, and all added to the evening’s enjoyment. After a formal reception, with Dr. and Mrs. Baxter and Mr. and Mrs. Avery in the receiving line, the dancing commenced, shortly after f) o'clock, and. with the exception of a short inter- mission for refreshments, continued until mid- night. About seventy couples were on the floor, and a large gathering of admiring friends and relatives occupied the balcony. A pleasing fea- ture of the evening was three moonlight dances. The committee in charge is to be congratulated on the completeness of the success. Robert Davis was floor director, and lie was assisted by the rest of the committee: Frank Ahern (presi- dent). Sumner Mead (treasurer). Hazel Backus, Alice Baxter. Harold Woodman, Clarence Mixer, Clarence Hopkins, Sigrid Aker, and Pauline Mer- rill. soon voices took up the strain and floated musi- cally across the water. I say, girls, cried Mildred Hutchins, bursting into a room in the dormitory where a crowd of co-eds were assembled, “isn’t that a surprise,— about Kitty Bradford, I mean? Did you all get an invitation in the morning’s mail? “Yes. and wasn't I surprised, and after the way we’ve snubbed her!” “Wasn’t what a surprise? said Anna Smith, Kittv’s friend. “Of course it wasn’t. Kitty is a wealthy girl.” Then why does she work and take all that re- sponsibility in the dining-hall? Because she believes that girls should earn part of their education if possible, and since she can’t pay her own wav on account of her father’s objection, she is helping a crippled girl through college with the money she earns. Anna made a sweeping bow to the group, and read from the invitation:— Senator and Mrs. Charles K. Bradford request the pleasure of your company at a grand ball given in honor of their daughter. Katherine, on Friday evening. November 12. at eight o’clock.” and as she finished, every girl clapped heartily! 11MM Hlpba Bailee The annual dance given by the Phi Alpha Sorority was held April 5 in Anthoine Hall. The hall was tastefully decorated with laurel, inter- woven with white chrysanthemums, and five baskets of yellow chrysanthemums were sus- pended from the ceiling. The yellow chrysanthe- mums were a novel feature in the color scheme of this year’s dance. The six girls who conducted the dance this year were: Leslie Hooper. Alice Baxter, Elinor Sibley, Pauline Conant, Ethel Coleord. and Marie John- ston, ably assisted by Harold Etheridge, Clement Bcaudct, Charles Parks, Arthur Tellicr, Jr.. Sum- ner Mead, and Robert Davis. The matrons of the affair were: Mrs. Hooper, Mrs. Baxter. Mrs. Sibley, Mrs. Conant. Mrs. Coleord. and Mrs. Johnston. The members all received hearty con- gratulations from those present, who are looking forward to next year’s dance. ----------— — -------------- ll bi Hlpba Ubeatre parts On April 2 the Sorority gave a theatre party to the last year's members. 1 2 SOMERVI LEE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR TO Sumner A. Mead, Class Editor. Alice M. Baxter, Assistant. The two bigf affairs in which our class is vitally interested—the soiree and the Phi Alpha dance— have come and gone. May our remembrance of them be as pleasant as our anticipation. Class meetings are getting to be quite common lately. At our last one Miss Johnston and George Dawson were elected class historians; Miss Burt, prophetess; Arthur Doyle, prophet; and Miss Stevens, poet. Russell Tarleton, the Senior, is known by his most intimate friends as “Oh. Toddle.” K—1—in was heard murmuring in his sleep the other night: “Your lips, your golden hair, your eves.” Who can she be?

Enraged Teacher (to Rice, who had been whis- pering): “Rice, I want that stopping talked.” M—r—1 has been given the name of “Soda Water Johnnie” by the girls of his room. At recess recently great enthusiasm was shown. Two Seniors gave a first-class imitation of a real fight, amid hearty applause; the Juniors gave a realistic war dance; and LiT Arthur S--------. who, by the way. is somewhat of a prize-fighter himself, got so excited that he was nearly drowned by the watering cart. K—g—n, like Henry YI11., has a different girl each day. Our talented Brother M-------shy met a French- man down town and started to speak to him in his native (?) tongue.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 177 Owing to the great demand for last month's Alumni Radiator, only a few exchanges were sent. The Dean Megaphone contains an interesting article. ‘‘Experiences of a Forester.” The ex- change column is very well written. The Oracle has a very suggestive and attractive cover design, which gives an inviting appearance to the paper. The Jabberwock is ever a welcome paper, inter- esting and neatly planned. We would suggest that the advertisements be less conspicuous. The Morristonian is a complete paper in its de- partments. The cover design is, however, rather glaring. “Fisherman’s Luck,” in the Dome, is a good story and well told. The ending is too abrupt, however. The High School Gleaner has a very interesting alumni number. The contributions from the alumni are well told and of general interest. “The Rise of the College Poster Craze” is a bright article. The exchange column of the Lawrence Bulletin might well be lengthened. The Artisan needs more narration. The ath- letic column is very good. The Beacon, Chelsea, has very fine print.

Every student is not an artist, but good illustrations may be simple and yet effective. The Panorama has a very pretty and well- chosen cover design. The illustrations within are also good. A comment applicable to many of our ex- changes is that they give neither the month of the printing of the paper nor the address of the school on the cover. To exchange editors, at least, the omission of these is often inconvenient. The Quarterly Tatler is indeed an inducement towards fewer editions printed during the year. The paper is complete and finished. The cover i very pretty. The paper and print of the Review are good in- deed. The brownish color of both harmonize well with each other and with the cover design. The Radiator will exchange with you as soon as pos- sible. The number for exchange has been varied, and irregularly sent to many of the exchanges. The cover design for the Freshman number of the Echo is very appropriate. American French in a railroad restaurant:— Garcon!

It was admitted as a member of the Interscholastic Hockey League, formed for the first time this year. This fact ac- counts very much for the increase of interest •Prepared for the Radiator by Captain Donahue, Latin, '11 taken by the student body in general and the players themselves, of whom a large number re- ported for practice at the beginning of the season. As a result. Captain Donahue experienced little trouble in picking a team in time to play the im- portant matches. The aim this year was to improve the team work rather than the development of individual bril- liancy. This idea was faithfully carried out by the players, and throughout the season they showed good spirit. In former years it was always the custom for the Athletic Association to supply the material for the hockey teams. This year, how- ever. no money was voted by the executive com- mittee to be spent in supporting the team. This made it necessary for the boys to provide them- selves with the needed material, which they did with very good spirit, considering the unfairness of it. Somerville's most important game was a 1-0 victory over Medford High, the champions of the Interprep. League. Another creditable showing was that made against the Arlington High team, the acknowledged champions of the state. This fast team was forced to a tie score of 1-1 in the first game of the season. In hard-fought games both Dorchester High and Malden High fell be- fore the hands of Somerville. Shortly after the close of the season Earl Dick- son was elected captain of next year’s team, and Carl Holmes manager. Both will be members of the Senior class of the English High School in the coming year. Dickson has played on the hockey team for the past two seasons, and ranks among the fastest skaters and cleverest dribblers in high school hockey circles. Next year’s season should be a most successful one, as the entire forward line is back, and the defence loses but one man by graduation. Donahue, captain of this year’s team, who declined to run for the captaincy of next year's team, will again be eligible to play. With the advantage of a year’s experience in play- ing together, the team should rank next year among the foremost of the high school hockey teams. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Athletic Association, it was voted to give “S’s” to the hockey team. A new style S was adopted, a football S crossed by two hockeys. i So SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Baseball The baseball team reported for practice at City Field on Monday. March 21. About eighty can- didates reported, and practice has been held regu- larly since. The squad has been cut to about thirty men. it being Coach Dickinson s intention to have a first and second team on the field. The prospects for a good team are very promising this year, as a number from last year's team are back and will be valuable for their experience. ing as a pitcher is showing great promise, having lots of speed and a good assortment of curves. Pike, the veteran of last year's team, is back, and ex- pects to have his best season. Mathews and Wil- liams are both making a hard try for second base. Norton will cover shortstop, and Parks or Dicker- man third base. Miles will be at first base. The catcher's position lies between Ginn. Knox, and Bradley. -----------• ---------------- Btblcttc Chat On Saturday. April 2. Somerville defeated North End L’nion by the score of 8-3. Wing pitched a steady game, and the boys played well, considering how little practice they had had. When this issue of the Radiator appears the baseball season will be under way. Then will be the time to get out and yell for the team, win or lose. Show your spirit!!! The team was afforded good practice by lining up against the Tufts ’Varsity April (� and ? for six- inning games. The collegians had little trouble winning. s-5 and 10-2. although Wing showed first-class form in the pitcher’s box. and the whole team played surprisingly good ball. Saturday. April 9, the strong Somerville Inde- pendents came to Broadway Field for a practice game with the High School team. The Independ- ents are a semi-professional team, containing sev- eral former Red and Blue stars, but they had to hustle to win. the final score being 1-2.

M3 188 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The closing of the public schools on account of the scarlet fever epidemic was a great shock to the rising generation of Somerville, but even the smallest schoolboy took it bravely, realizing that it was for the good of the community. hire drills, too, which have been quite frequent of late, arc really quite provoking, especially when they come, as they often do, in the midst of a nice Latin recitation: but here again we must exercise our benign fortitude and remember, ever and al- ways, that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of Latin almost any day in the week, r r. r It is a very significant fact that during our un- expected “epidemic” respite from school Nature fairly outdid itself, while our official May vacation was one rainy day after another. Oh, the irony of fate! v The united energies of the Radiator staff arc now directed upon the final issue, the June num- ber. Old readers of the Radiator know that the June number is by far the biggest and best of the year. 'This one will be no exception. The Som- erville High Schools arc the finest in New Eng- land. Let it suffice to say that the June Radiator for 3910 will be a souvenir worthy of the schools. In order to be able to cover the final baseball games of the season, and other late news, the June Radiator will not be published until some time during the last week of school. Let us repeat: THE JUNE RADIATOR WILL BE SOLD BY SUBSCRIPTION ONLY. SUBSCRIBE with your class editor, and DO IT NOW! � m The prominent part that Somerville bovs play in college activities was never better exemplified than on April 30. Instrumental in Tufts’ great shut-out victory over Harvard in baseball on Sol- diers’ Field were two Latin School graduates, Robert M. Knight and Walter F. Gray, both ’00. Knight not only played a perfect fielding game at first base, but he also got three of Tufts’ eight hits off the crack Crimson pitcher, while Gray led the Tufts rooters to such cheering as made the Harvard enthusiasm look weak, and later mar- shaled them. 400 strong, in their victorious march through the streets of Cambridge and Somerville to College Hill, where again at midnight lie took a leading part in celebrating the victory. Simul- taneous with the ball game, and scarcely a stone’s throw away in the Stadium, Harvard was beating Springfield Training School at lacrosse, and here, too, Somerville’s colors were brought to the fore. William Blackett, Latin, ’08, played a slashing game for the Crimson, and his four goals made him high scorer for the day. r In his article on “The Radiator of 1882-’81,” in the March Radiator, Mr. Brigham credits Herman T. van Dusen with being the first editor- in-chief of the “new” Radiator of 1894-’95. Mr. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR van Dusen wishes it understood that it was Fran- cis Eaton, and not himself, who revived the Kadi atom. We excuse you from all blame in the matter, Mr. van Dusen. r r. � � At the instigation of Captain Alexander, of the Harvard lacrosse team, R. M. T. S. and several other Greater Boston schools are taking up lacrosse. Somerville High, too, has been asked to consider putting a team on the field this spring. The Radiator is not in favor of the project. If Somerville can't support basket ball, hockey, and baseball properly, she surely can't support la- crosse. Somerville High's prestige in the athletic world warrants her right to act independently of other schools; moreover, she certainly should not feel called upon to accommodate herself to Har- vard interests. k. Hereafter we have decided to discontinue print- ing resolutions on the deaths of relatives of High School pupils. We think our readers will readily sec the reasons for this decision. ()n account of their extreme similarity, the resolutions appeal very little to the interested families. On the other hand, resolutions on the deaths of pupils do not 189 have the relative prominence due them when placed alongside of three or four other resolutions in the same issue. r � r 'I'he successful presentation of the oratorio, Elijah, by the Somerville High School pupils under Mr. Hadley's able direction is one more ex- ample of the versatility of the Somerville High Schools. r ► Departing from the usual method of class elec- tions, this year's editorial staff has decided to se- lect its successors by competition. The offices to be filled arc: From the class of 1911, English School, editor-in-chief, alumni and sporting edi- tors; from the class of 1912, English School, as- sistant business manager; from the class of 1911, Latin School, associate, alumni, and exchange editors, business manager, and second assistant business manager. The main qualifications for each of these positions arc good scholarship, conscientiousness, and an interest in the Radia- tor. The competition will start immediately. The names of all students who wish to be con- sidered candidates for the several positions should be handed to the editor-in-chief of the Radiator, Room 21 of the Latin School, without delay.

Gbtpman, E., '10 IIF station rang with the songs and cheers of the restless crowd of col- lege boys, who were awaiting the re- turn of their victorious team. They were showing their disgust at the news on the bulletin. “New York train 55 minutes late,’ by practicing their col- lege songs. With their band at the head, they had marched up and down the platform, much to the displeasure and discomfort of some of the train- men. but to the delight of the waiting passengers. When the Northern train pulled in. they formed a two-row file for the passengers to walk through, while the band struck up “Home, Sweet Home. A young girl, wearing a dark blue suit and a dark blue hat gaily decked with red wings, attracted the attention of the ever-ready college boys as she alighted. Harry,” said one of the boys to a harmless looking chap, you are the youngest and the most unsophisticated, so it's up to you to welcome sister with a brotherly kiss.” Harry was indeed young, and he blushed pro- fusely at the suggestion. This started the fellows, who called him “mother’s angel boy.” and other such pet names, so stirring him that when the first speaker tauntingly cried. You don't dare!” Harry started down the platform, rushed up to the girl, and gave her a resounding kiss! 'flic girl, thus taken by surprise, dropped her bag and looked scornfully at Harry, while he, still blushing deeply, awkwardly took off his hat, and stammered: “1—I beg your pardon, I thought you were my sister.” The boys, anticipating some excitement, drew nearer the two. Well, you see I’m not your sister,” was the girl’s stiff rejoinder, and. seeing the crowd of boys and suspecting something, she added sarcastic- ally : Take my advice, and after this, when you arc so ready to kiss a girl, be careful whose sister you choose.” Then she picked up her suit case to continue her way. “By Jove, Loraine, what a surprise!” exclaimed Harry’s roommate. Joe Bristol, as he emerged from the crowd and approached the girl. I’ve just arrived,” she answered sweetly, “as a real surprise for you. brother, and auntie.” This certainly is jolly!” cried Joe. as he kissed her. Here, boys, my sister at last,” and he started the introductions. In the meantime Harry, unnoticed, had escaped. Where’s Harry?” Joe asked suddenly. The boys laughed, and answered that he had run the gauntlet in safety. Is he the one that is looking for a sister?” Loraine asked, as she dimpled with laughter. Yes. he was waiting for some one clse’s sis- ter.” answered one of the fellows. Joe took charge of his sister, and left the boys to await the arrival of the team. Two hours later they all reached the dormitory. Their cheering heralded their arrival, and it called forth many “grinds,” who could not resist the ap- peal to their college spirit; but Harry remained in his room, ashamed and thoroughly disgusted at the thought of his ungcntlemanly behavior. Suddenly he jumped angrily to his feet, as the boys were singing the refrain of one of the college songs:— A sister, a sister. We know she’s not his sister, But Freshman wiles Will bring but smiles At dear old--------” 'fhe strain fdled the air, as all the boys, having learned of Harry’s adventure, took it up with a will. Some one tried the door, which he had locked, but he did not move. “Harry!” It was Joe. A pause. “Come on, kid. open the door!” “Clear out, will you, and leave me alone,” mum- bled Harry. See here, kid,” Joe rattled the door, “this is my room as well as yours, and I want to come in.” Harry opened the door. If it had only been some one else, Bris—but your sister,” was all Harry could say. It’s all right, kid. Loraine understands, and she thinks you’re a brick to do it up so brown before all of us fellows. Listen!” From below came the college cheer, with three Harry’s” on the end, then a rush up the stairs, and Harry became the centre of attraction. A few weeks later Harry gave a tea in his room for the first time, and the boys smiled and tried to look wise when they learned that Loraine was to pour.

The wind howled, and the snow piled up 1 everywhere in drifts, but the wildness of the night seemed to have little or no effect upon the crowd of merry young fellows gathered around the fireplace in a room of one of the dormitories of Jameson College. Although there was much laughing and good-natured kidding. as story after story was told, friendship and good-fellow- ship prevailed. After all but one had related some story, true or fictitious, deep silence reigned for several moments. Little Jack Mackenzie finally piped up: Well. Dick Holmes. it‘s about time we heard your talc. 'flic fellow thus addressed was sitting apart from the others, gazing dreamily into the fireplace, as if deep in thought. When spoken to. he lazily stretched himself, and settled more comfortably into his roomy Morris chair, as if reluctant to leave his thoughts. Then, after hesitating a moment, he started:— It was one morning last summer, when I was spending my vacation at a small village in the White Mountains. The hotel was deserted, and all the usual diversions of a summer resort had lost interest for me. As a last resource. 1 turned to reading, but I was unable to find anything in- teresting around the office, so I walked over to the village library for some book to pass away the time before dinner. When I was looking over the shelves devoted to fiction. I noticed a book bound in white leather, the title of which was ‘Princess Dreams The name seemed promising, so I took it down. Of course you know, fellows, anything pertaining to the opposite sex always interests me. Leave that to you. Dick, remarked Tom Al- ward. his chum. I took the book to a chair near the window, and as I opened it. a picture fell out. It was the picture of a girl about eighteen. “Enter the princess. The hero falls in love with her. chimed in Tom again. Here there was a moment’s pause, while Dick seized Tom and calmly deposited him in the waste paper basket. “And she was a very pretty girl. continued Dick, after Tom had rescued himself and resumed his scat. She was seated on a rustic bench, holding a parasol in one hand, and a letter, which she was reading, in the other. By her expression, it evi- dently was a very pleasant letter. There was something very attractive and pleas- ing about her face, and the more I looked at the picture, the more determined I became to find the owner, although I was at a loss to know how to begin. “I thought and thought, and at last I asked the librarian who had borrowed the book last. She told me that the book had been loaned to a guest at a neighboring hotel, but that it had been re- turned over a week ago. Then came another difficulty. W as the person who borrowed the book the original of the pic- ture? If so, had the girl left the village? If not, how was I to gain her acquaintance? Several evenings later 1 was sitting in the office of the hotel reading. The door opened, and a party of young people stepped in. They stood in the doorway as if looking for some one. Then I saw one of the guests, a young woman who had recently married one of my brother’s college chums, hasten across the lobby and shake hands with them. Wondering who Blanche’s friends were. I looked up, and saw—‘Princess Dreams After talking a few minutes, they turned and went into the parlor. It was impossible for me to read. I sat there thinking of the picture I had in my possession, the original of which was in the next room. Soon Blanche came out through the office and looked around. Seeing me apparently buried in mv book, which, by the way. was ‘Princess Dreams,’ she came over to me. ‘Dick, I want you to meet mv friends. Do leave that book and be entertain- ing. I want you to make a good impression on Elise ‘Certainly. Blanche,’ said I, ‘it is “Princess Dreams,’’’ as I caught a glance of her delicate profile through the broad opening. “‘Princess Dreams!’ Dick Holmes, what are you talking about?’ “‘Nothing. Blanche, nothing: I was just think- ing 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “‘Elise! Elise!' thought I. ‘could she be “Prin- cess Dreams,” or was it one of the other girls?’ However, I didn't have to wait long to find out. I heard myself acknowledging the introduction, ‘Miss Wesley.’ “'Princess Dreams,’ as I called her. was very much prettier than her picture. The picture showed but one expression, whereas in life every varying thought and emotion betrayed a new phase of her loveliness.” Here Dick arose, and turning to the .boys, said: “Well, fellows, I’m tired. Who's coming to bed?” “But” interposed Jack, “you haven’t finished. In a romance the hero always marries the heroine, and. as in fairy tales, they live happily ever after.” “Jack,” began Dick seriously, “my mother al- ways taught me that little boys should be seen and not heard, but”—here Dick’s eyes lighted up mer- rily—“as long as you want my story to end like a fairy talc. I won't disappoint you. because soon (that is. if you and the rest of the fellows behave) you may receive cards announcing the engage- ment of Miss Elise Wesley, of Pasadena, Calif., to yours truly. Mr. Richard Holmes, of Chicago, 111.” Dick was almost toppled over by the eagerness of the fellows, all trying to shake hands with him at once. When he finally rescued himself, they all trooped downstairs together and across the campus, singing:— For it's always fair weather When good fellows get together.” When they had gone, Jack went to his desk, and started in search of something, overturning an ink bottle, and literally making things fly. “What are you looking for. Jack?” asked his roommate, looking up in astonishment. “Oh! I just thought I’d look for my library card.” answered Jack absently. Ifots IDebut Hn rew ID. Xtttle, a ., '12 OR days his life had been made a bur- den to him. Not only was the ter- rible thought of the impending danc- ing party overhanging, but there was his experienced sister with never- ending references as to how he should conduct himself. What evil genius had placed him in any such position? And not for one moment would Helene suffer him to forget,. “If there’s one thing, Burt, that a girl hates,” she instructed her victim, it’s to have a boy fan her in a lazy way,—see, like this, as if it were really too much trouble. But don’t, for mercy’s sake, make such a whirlwind that every one of her hairs stands straight up on end. And if it should come into your head to be so rude as to fan your- self instead,—I had a partner once who did that----” “And why shouldn’t he if he was hot?” de- manded Burt. “Oh, Burt! Oh. and be sure when you arc dancing not to hold a girl too tight; they hate it. But you needn’t hold her off, either, as if she was a leper; that's probably what you will do. Oh, and whatever you do, Burtie, be sure to get her enough to cat: girls hate to have you bring them miserable little dabs of things.” “Oh, I can bring ’em enough to cat. if that’s all.” returned Burt gloomily. “I don’t mind about that: it's the everlasting talking. What in thun- der do girls at a party like to talk about, anyway?” And at the awful thought lie turned pale and grew rigid in his arms and legs. “Oh. I don’t know—anything. But, Burtie, dear, there’s another thing a girl just hates-” But poor Burt had snatched up his hat and was off. He could stand no more. Poor boy! he will never be a social success,” sighed Helene. Equipped with splints and bandages, the family sat up to receive what was left of Burt after the horrors of the festal night. But what was that jubilee of whistling on the front doorstep? Not Burt, surely, Burt the bashful, the dejected? In a body they rushed to the door. “Well!” they gasped. “Well!” returned Burt. “Why, what arc you all sitting up for?” “Did—did—you went to the party, didn't you?” for there had been blank moments of despair when Burt had hinted at deserting on the road and spending the evening with Clifford, his chum. “Went? Why, of course I went! Why shouldn’t I?” He was very important and im- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 93 pressive, and the family, with a feeling of guilt, tucked the bandages and splints out of sight. “And the talking, how about that?” asked the incredulous sister. “The talking? Oh, that’s easy enough.” And then he suddenly came down from his high horse and told them how he had done it. You'd better believe I was scared pink. And I guess the first girl saw it. and was laughing at me, and that made me mad. And so with the next one I pitched in and told her everything Helene's been dinning into my cars this last week; told her just what girls liked and didn't like, and how they liked to be fanned, and held, and fed; and she was just as interested—you ought to have seen her. And she said: ‘You must have been to a lot of parties to know so much about girls.’ I Jut I never let on. and talked with the next one— red, or pink, or something she had on—and she disputed me right and left, but she liked it just the same. It’s easy talking to girls! All you have to say is: ‘My experience is that a girl always likes----’ ” tEbc It)Uton ITnitiation IRavmonfc IXX. JGlancbarfc, Tl IIORTLY before supper one after- noon in March, Robert Hilton, a young fellow of seventeen, sat quietly reading a newspaper before —■ the blazing wood fire in the sitting room. Suddenly in popped his sister Alice without a word of warning, much to Robert’s disgust at being disturbed. Say, Rob,” she broke out. what do you think? I’ve got a letter from your II. S. 1’. Club, with an invitation to join. Isn't that just lovely? Just what I've longed for. You must take me with you to the next meeting. See, here's the letter.” Oh. yes,” said her brother, we voted on your name last time.” And you didn't tell me anything about it! You’re a great messenger!” “Didn't think of it once,” he said. And it’s all the more of a surprise to you now. anyway.” Then, after a moment’s silence, lint we'll do the initiation up brown, won't we, though? Well get you some good stunts, all right.” Be careful what you do, now,” she replied with concern. “Oh. there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Robert as- sured her. “The rest’ll get lots of fun out of it, anyway,” he added good-naturedly. I just hope you won’t do anything rough, that’s all.” To tell the truth, Alice was somewhat fearful of being initiated. However, the prospect of the good times to come encouraged her to endure the ordeal, or to prevent her brother from making it especially disagreeable. A day or two before the next meeting of the club, which was held every two weeks, Alice re- minded her brother again of the invitation, but was disappointed to learn that he could not pos- sibly go that week because of another engage- ment. Two weeks later, however, on the ap- pointed evening, the two young people set out. It occurred to Robert in starting, and more than once on the way. that his sister was in a remark- ably joyous mood for one who had shown so much dread of the coming event. He kept it to himself, however, and turned his thought to the initiation programme. When they reached the meeting place, they found the company nearly all assembled, and the president about to call the meeting to order. Alice remained in the next room. Somewhat to Robert’s surprise, the first motion was to defer the secretary’s report till later in the evening. Then several matters of business were taken up, which were quite lacking in interest. The even- ing was wearing slowly away, and Robert was growing impatient for some fun. At last lie rose, and said without the least hesi- tation: Mr. President, I move that, with suitable ceremonies, to be decided by a committee of three, we now initiate into our society Miss Alice Hilton.” There was a faint titter from the girls, and a slight rustling disturbed the silence of the room. Robert thought nothing of it. A few seconds passed—a few more—a minute, but the motion was not seconded. The president arose. Miss 194 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Hilton.” lie said, was initiated at the last meet- ing” All eyes turned on Robert. He was the picture of amazement. How could it be? .Vow, Mr. Secretary.” continued the president, ‘’let's hear your report. The secretary complied. After the usual dry remarks on the place and date of meeting, busi- ness affairs, and refreshments, the report con- tinued in part:— “Our constitution was found on examination to contain no provision for the expulsion of absent members. It was suggested that an amendment be added embracing this point. Nothing definite was decided. It was then, however, unanimously voted that all then absent be temporarily removed from membership, and be reinstated only by ini- tiation at their next appearance. These were the names affected: William Caldrick. Robert Hilton-----” Hilton's face was a blank. He felt that he was the centre of attraction. Quiet mirth was gener- ally prevalent. Say. Rob. we'll do the initiation up brown, won’t we. though? He started. There was his sister, just entered from the next room. From smiles and half-suppressed expressions of merriment, the company in general now burst out in laughter, unable to contain themselves longer. Meanwhile the situation dawned completely upon the innocent cause of all this amusement. He gained confidence, and became his natural self. Mr. President.’’ he said, rising, I fully appre- ciate the honor of a double initiation, and hope that the custom will become more general than at present. I submit.” ()nce more, and for good, the feeling of the com- pany altered. Amidst the shouts of the boys and the clapping of the girls, three grand cheers arose for Robert Hilton.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 195 THe Letter Box Cfoc advantages of manual draining jflDr. Ibarrv %. Sowes of the English School I teaching, I think it is a grave niis- 'JHvf take to become so absorbed in de- veloping one’s subject that one can- not stop to make sure it is develop- ing one’s pupils, flic first business of the art teacher is not to teach art. nor is it the first business of the shop teacher to teach shop work: the art teacher and the shop teacher exist to teach children. It is well to re- member this. Allow me to say at the outset that I do not re- gard manual training as a patent medicine, or even a duly authorized prescription for the cure of human ills. While I am a friend of manual training, I trust that I am not a foolish friend. On the other hand, I do not regard manual train- ing as a subject for the few. the poor, the toiler with the hands alone. It is a legitimate, proper, and necessary branch of modern education alike appropriate to all. and as such it should be placed in the curriculum of our public schools. The work at the present time covers a vast amount of ground, from the finished sloyd model to copper, enamel, and silver work in the so-called arts and crafts in the high school. Here is the true value of manual training in our schools,—that the child may learn how much more valuable is the article which he has made with his own hands, with his own labor. It gives a knowl- edge whence the sweetness of expression derives its source. The technique is of practical use; the learning how is valuable; but much more valuable is it for the child to learn the divinity of labor. Xo one who has worked with hammer and saw. and learned how rich in pleasure is the possession of an article derived from hard labor, can consider work a degradation. It puts the child in sym- pathy with labor and the laborer. Looked at from this point of view, no one fac- tor has greater possibilities of developing the child than that of manual training. It puts the child in sympathy with men. He rubs in large grains of the stuff we call humanity, and for this reason it is essential that the child should be al- lowed to make things he wants, and also that the things made should belong to him. The advan- tage of manual training work for young people is its reality; it is so tangible. The boy has ideas; he is frequently embarrassed and unable to ex- press himself in acts, but give him tools and things to work on. and he possesses himself at once, and through the exercise of this highest function gains that tremendous power that comes in no other way. It gives him new interest. We all know how difficult it is to keep boys and girls in school at a certain age. The enthusiasm of discovery which belongs to infancy and has carried them through the primary years is gone. Creation is becoming dormant; the boy is intensely practical; his ideas must take a definite, clear, tangible form, or they are less than moonshine. At this age, the box of tools at home and the manual training shop at school supply the needed stimulus and in- terest. to the great relief of anxious parent and teacher. 1'he child, like any other animal, must investi- gate his material surroundings and be able to master them. In this industrial age this is the first mastery in the young life, and if properly di- rected. becomes the key to all greater, and wiser, and wider masteries of the future. Manual train- ing aids and encourages the mastery of mind over matter. Any one who has felt the thrill when the object of his dream, even if it be a humble box, stands before him complete, perfect, visible, tan- gible. will know the power of manual training to create and hold interest. I believe that if a course of manual training be pursued throughout the years of the elementary course, two ends will be accomplished.—the child who enters the high school will have received the advantage of broader training, and he will have discovered, to a degree, at least, his own tastes and abilities. I do not re- gard it. as I said before, as a cure for educational ills, nor would 1 accept the manual training course as furnishing in itself alone a desirable education for the average youth. If we must confine our- selves to one department of mental activities, let 196 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR it be the humanities. It is only when manual training fits into a general scheme that it fulfills its-own definite purpose. From a social point of view, the making of manual training the exclusive function of one school, classical education of another, commercial education of another, etc., is open to criticism. It fosters the caste spirit. It is undemocratic. It trains up a generation divided into groups, less capable than former generations of entering into sympathetic relations outside the group. It fos- ters in those not manually trained contempt for labor with the hands. The girl who has learned the theory and practice of cooking and who can make her own garments will be a better woman, more sympathetic and more tolerant because of such knowledge and skill. From a social stand- point, all should have equal opportunity for manual training. The boy who studies Greek and who is going to college has as much need of this training as the boy who must early earn his own living, and society is equally concerned with both cases. Those not manually trained cannot appre- ciate the thought and skill that enter into the material things contributing to our comfort. On the frontier there arc no class distinctions. It is possible to know one’s neighbor. There the cowboy and millionaire are not far apart. To know is to sympathize and to appreciate. The Rough Riders had not all the arts and graces of social circles, but they knew and respected them, though in many particulars they had little in com- mon. The nearer we get to the centres of popu- lation, the greater the distance between man and man. It is greater in Chicago than in Denver; greater still in Xew York: still greater in the crowded cities of the Old World. When the bar- rier between rich and poor becomes high, the re- sult is misunderstanding and suffering. When people give you up, you feel like giving up, too. Personal intercourse is at the foundation of all successful charity movements. There must be direct contact with problems before there can be any solution. The best architects have had car- penters’ training. Physicians must know hospital work. rheological students are now sent to study the slums. Our children must work with their hands that they may help their minds. The mingling of those who are taking different courses in 011c school is of advantage to both. There is a little danger of class feeling between manual train- ing high schools and other high schools. The students in classical high schools are apt to look down a little upon the students of manual training courses, and the students of manual training schools are apt to have a rather uncomfortable, antagonistic feeling toward the mere ‘‘book’’ stu- dents, as they deem the others. It is sometimes said that the regular high schools arc not in sympathy with manual train- ing. and that it will not have a fair chance, if made a part of the regular school course. There is no stronger argument for such a union. If people are narrow enough to undervalue this great sub- ject. they need the broadening influence which comes from contact with it. If it is all we claim for it. it will stand for itself, and if put into the schools as a regular course, with a complete and fairly good equipment, with a corps of special teachers, and with large classes taking it with en- thusiasm, no one need be found to stand as its de- fender. If it is a good thing, do not hedge it off by itself and limit it to a few. Let all have it. Keep it where the many can see it. and come to value it, and take advantage of its courses to the fullest. I would have all high schools with full manual training equipment, which should be considered as essential a part of their plants as are the labora- tories and classrooms. I would have courses such as would appeal to both boys and girls, and have them open to all. I would bring all the boys and girls into the same environment and under the same general influence, and treat manual training through the high schools as at least educational and for all. and. in addition to this, occupational for those who wish so to make it. Our duty lies in furnishing the training which makes men and women ready for programmes as the circumstances of life arise, which gives them a stream of images which compel completion. The larger school is to take account of the actual conditions of life, and enable people to meet the necessity of growth in their own lives. Working men contribute to the lives of thinkers and artists, and so enrich them: there must be centres which carry back to the working man the results of thought and art. Their children and ours must be enabled to follow manual occupa- tions and yet grow. Connections must be estab- lished between those different processes of life, so that each is enriched by the others. Without in- dustrial training the child cannot enter fully into an appreciation of the industrial conditions of to- day or realize himself as a factor in the world’s network of doing for others. Changed conditions bring to our generation returns from industry which it does not know how to distribute. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «97 LATIN NOTESil '10 Sunnier A. Mead, Class Editor.

The Spectator contains a wealth of good short stories, but to the average reader fewer and longer ones would be more tempting. We consider the Oracle carelessly arranged in its departments. Surely the alumni notes should not be so conspicuous, unless the paper is an alumni number. This column in the March edi- tion fills one-third the whole paper, and is placed first in position. The Dome is a welcome paper. It is well writ- ten and attractive in appearance. A pretty bit of poetry is The Golden Rod. in the paper of the same name. Greater Love Hath Xo Man. in the same edition, is an interesting and well-written story. The Latin School Register could be brightened up and improved by introducing school notes, that is. class notes, or amusing incidents of school life. The High School Gleaner is a clean, well-printed paper, and has an inviting appearance. The Richards is a new exchange,—at least, to us. Good luck to it. The Recorder has a very attractive cover, but the illustrations are not worthy of the paper. A drama in three acts:— I.—Maid one. II.—Maid won.

One of the best exchange columns is found in the Triangle. The criticisms are written with much thought and in a spirit of kindliness. The literary department is instructive and full of in- terest. We enjoyed “The Race,” especially. Many of the exchanges feel that criticisms in the exchange columns produce ill-feeling and do not improve conditions; consequently, they ha,ve dis- continued this department of their paper. If so, is it fair for them to profit by criticisms of other exchanges? In some of our exchanges merely a list of papers received is printed with no criticisms, but a column of what other papers criticise in them is given. AT THE BOX OFFICE.

Business,—the science of supplying human needs,—is the largest and broadest field of human endeavor. If you possess, or wish to possess, these three elements, and desire to enter the highest profession of the day, I invite you to come and insure your own success therein by taking the training offered at Malden Commercial School Educationally the Strongest Business School in New England which is ideally located and will occupy a fine new building in September; has a Principal and Faculty of broad training and actual business experience; em- phasizes strongly the element of personal touch in education; has the smallest number of students to the faculty, per capita, of any school of its kind; uses the group system which has been proved to be superior to any method of in- struction, thus insuring unhampered individual progress issues four grades of diplomas, and places its graduates in the best permanent positions, for which it has more calls than it can fill.

CALL OR WRITE FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION WALTER LEROY SMITH, Principal Malden, Massachusetts OUR MESSAGE TO YOU Bufdett College, 1 8 Boylston Street, Boston, Mass. offers more and greater advantages to a prospective student than can be secured in any other business school in New England. Burdett was the pioneer school of “Actual Business from the Start” in the city of Boston, and its attendance is now greater than that of all the shorthand and business schools in Boston combined. The graduates of the Bookkeeping and Banking Departments have a practical knowl- edge of business methods which it would have been impossible for them to acquire from textbook methods, and the high standards of work maintained in the Shorthand Department enable Burdett students to accept the more responsible stenographic positions. Graduates of the Typewriting Department rank among the finest touch typewriters in the country, operating their machines with surprising facility, and with- out looking at the keys. Special finishing courses now make it possible for any student who has studied Gregg, Benn Pitman or Chandler Systems of Shorthand in the high school to enter Burdett and go right on with the same textbook, using the same system under regular instructors, secure the Burdett diploma, and with it a Free Life Membership in the Situation Department just the same as if he or she had taken the full course at Burdett. The Burdett Employment Bureau is so well established that the demand from business men for Buidett students is far in excess of the supply. The Free Life Membership privilege in this bureau, which is granted to each graduate, is worth the entire cost of tuition. The sessions for 1910-11 at Burdett will begin on Tuesday, September ( , the day after Labor Day. Prospective students can always obtain catalogues free upon request by writing to the Secretary of the College, and if they can visit the school they will find the offices open all summer and representatives of the institution ready to advise them to the best of their ability. Any student who intends to enter a business school in the fall, or who knows of somebody who is to do so, should send immediately to the Manager of Awards Club and secure information about the hundreds of dollars in gold to be dis- tributed as premiums among students of the entering classes and other contestants who are successful in the name-list competition. The conditions regarding these Awards permit a prospective student to send in his or her own name and share in the distri- bution of the gold.

LANE, M3 finfllisb School ANDREW F. HANDLEY, MO ARTHUR LEIGHTON, Ml ANDREW D. LITTLE, M2 THOMAS F. BISHOP, M3 2l8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Nine mouths ago. when we shouldered the re- sponsibility of guiding the Radiator through one more year of success, we made the following state- ment in these columns: It shall he our endeavor, by strengthening those departments which in the past have been weak, to present a paper of all- around excellence: one that shall each month •contain at least some one thing of interest to everybody. In short, we aim to make Volume XIX. of the Radiatok a publication which shall meet with the approval of the most critical reader. Now. as we bid adieu to our readers, we will say that we have never lost sight of our original purpose; that we have done our best to make the ideal a reality. Two innovations have been introduced, the system of assistant class editors and the competi- tive plan of staff elections. The success of the assistant class editor idea has depended entirely on the individual: we suggest that the system be en- larged to include an editor for each division, but classes should take care that the representatives elected are capable. The staff competition was initiated too late to be given a thorough try-out. but we believe that the theory is right, and we trust that the practice will be further developed next year. The Radiator has shown that, with careful management, it can be made a financial success. We believe that it is to the best inter- ests of the Radiator that editor-in-chief, busi- ness manager, and treasurer be made salaried positions. We suggest that hereafter the yearly profits be divided into four equal parts,—one for each of the above positions, and the other either for a sinking fund or to be devoted to some stu- dent interest. We hope that these suggestions will be given a fair consideration, at least, by next year's Staff. They say that charity begins at home.” We believe that appreciation should, too. and in ac- knowledging our indebtedness for assistance re- ceived in editing the Radiator, we wish, first of all. to extend heartfelt and lasting thanks to those who have-been of most material and constant aid to us. our brother and sister co-workers of the staff. There arc a few who have done even more than was expected of their office, judging from the standards of past years, and these de- serve more than passing recognition. Miss Laurie, as associate editor, has not only taken charge of the literary end of the Radiator in the English School to our complete satisfaction, but has also contributed editorials practically every month. Greenwood, the sporting editor, although handi- capped by outside work, has injected much origi- nality into his department, and has stuck to his job faithfully through every season, something which has not been done for several years. The class notes are without doubt the most widely- read columns of the paper, and if the Radiator lias attained any success this year, a large share of it is due the class editors, who, we believe, with- out exception have striven earnestly to please their readers. That the business managers have done effective work is shown by the large number of advertisements, the exact pecuniary benefit � f SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 219 which will be shown in Mr. Hosmer's treasurer’s report next fall. Miss Smith and Miss Monro, of the Latin, and Miss Merrill and Miss Johnson, of the English School faculty, have been of much as- sistance in procuring and criticising material. Finally, we wish to thank our contributors, and the student body in general, which by its loyal support and kindly reception of our efforts has done much to encourage us in our endeavor to make the Somkrvili.k Ihuii School Radiator a paper worthy of its name. i r r � Much was said at the football banquet of Som- erville’s need of a high school gymnasium. The high school gymnasium is a valuable institution. It affords weak and strong alike a chance to ob- tain helpful exercise. It also promotes a healthy interest in athletics. I Jut why talk of a high school gymnasium for Somerville, when the high schools themselves are inadequate? Each year sees a greater influx of grammar school graduates eagerly clamoring for admission to the two schools. Space originally intended for halls and storerooms has been utilized for classrooms. From being merely crowded, conditions arc fast becoming unsanitary. Then, too, the number of pupils allotted to each teacher has been neces- sarily increased, contrary to producing the best re- sults. The teachers are overworked. The Latin School Annex, built in 19 ( . has proved to afford only temporary relief: the same will be true of any future additions. Somerville’s crying need, then, is for a new high school, and the city fathers should remedy this want before taking steps for the building of a high school gymnasium. r I)r. Baxter’s reception to the Latin School Seniors was truly an inspiring occasion. There was not a student present that did not depart with a deeper feeling of love and loyalty for Dr. Baxter, 1910. and the school. r «? r In preparing the last three issues, the Radiator staff has been without the services of the English School Alumni editor. Miss Marion Moore, who has been seriously ill with pleuro-pneumonia. Miss Moore is a faithful worker, and we have keenly felt her absence. We were all glad that she was sufficiently recovered to sit for the staff I icture, and we trust that she will soon enjoy her normal health. r r � � if Aside from their impressive dignity, there was one phase of 1910’s Ivy Day exercises which de- serves special mention. The class of 1908, after planting its ivy with the usual ceremony, was shocked, a few days later, to find that the plant had been maliciously stolen. 1909's memento suffered a similar fate. Consequently, Mr. Avery decreed that 1910 should have no Ivy Day. After much consultation with the Senior committee, however, he said that 1910 might celebrate the time-honored custom ou condition that, if the ivy were stolen, 1911 make no effort to hold an Ivy Day next year. To this the Juniors unselfishly agreed. We appreciate your generosity. 1911. but we hope that there will be no occasion for you to sacrifice the pleasures of another Ivv Day. Many members of the Senior class arc deeply disappointed, even indignant, that their graduation exercises Tuesday evening will lack the splendor of former years. In determining the manner of high school graduation, the School Board was evidently merely following out its policy for sim- plicity shown in regard to grammar school exer- cises. Those who bewail the change are evidently forgetting the object of the high school course. One goes to high school to acquire a good foun- dation for college or the business world, as the case may be. If he gets this, he should be satis- fied: if he does not get it. no end of expensive graduation ceremonies can redeem the loss. The diploma signifies that the receiver has honorably completed the high school course. The receiving of the diploma should therefore be given the most prominent place in the graduation exer- cises. Elaborate the settings, and the diploma loses its due significance. 220 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A few fleeting hours, and the Seniors will be divided into two great classes, those who will begin at once to earn their living, and those who will delay the day by four years more of enlighten- ment at higher institutions of learning. For the needs of both classes. Somerville is exceptionally happily situated. The neighboring metropolis of Boston presents unlimited opportunities to him who would make a name in the business world; while the prospective college student is greeted with a bewildering array of colleges from which to elect his future Alma Mater. Harvard and Tufts are at our very doors, while Brown, Dart- mouth. Wesleyan. Amherst. Bowdoin. and a host OI.IVI' I- DcMARLS. of other colleges are but a few hours distant. Seniors, you should thank your lucky stars that vou were brought up in Somerville, and not in Dead Man's Like. Montana! The attention of students desiring summer tu- toring bv a first-class teacher, experienced in all high school branches, is called to Mr. Wilkins's advertisement on page 293 of this issue. As a result of the competition, the following staff was chosen for 1910-11:— Editor-in-chief......... rthur Leighton. E.. ’ll Associate editor.....Miriam R. Kingman. L., ’ll Sporting editor......Arthur S. Waldron. E.. ’ll Exchange editor......Mildred L. Angeli. L.. '11 Latin alumni editor........Hazel V. l’aris, L., '11 English alumni editor.... Bernice C. Scott, E.. ’ll Business manager........Barker Newhall. L., '11 Assistant business manager. Howard Shaffer, E.. T2 Second assistant business manager, Donald II. Whitney, 1... '11 Staff artist.........Beulah E. Sprague, E., ’ll The main qualifications considered were consci- entiousness, standing in scholarship, and interest in the Radiator. These qualities are well ex- emplified bv the above staff, and we hand over the reins to Leighton, confident that he and his asso- ciates will have little difficulty in making Volume XX. of the Radiator a winner. --------------------------- Song for arbor Da?

'10 11910 Class Poem.] A fleet of white-winged ships at anchor rides, Safe sheltered in a harbor old and gray; Each pilot carefully his course decides, And o’er what seas his ship shall make her way. For him the calm and quiet all is past, The open sea is calling him at last. The sky beams clear, no clouds presage disaster, The bay beneath reflects the heaven’s own blue. The pilot- watch intent the harbor-master. Whose signal shows their weary wait is through. To the plunging sea. forevermore their home, They quickly guide their prows through flashing foam. Beyond the harbor bar the ocean roars, But unafraid they take the trackless way, And flying swiftly on. with gleaming oars. For some far port they speed without dismay. To north and south and east and west they turn, The lessons of the treacherous sea to learn. And some there are who challenge Neptune’s power, Who bravely spring from crest to foaming crest. And some there are who weaken in that hour When every gallant ship should do her best. 'Hie jealous deep sucks down the struggling boat,. 'Hie staunch and true alone remain afloat. And now the splendid vessels skim along. With pity and regret for wrecks behind. Until at length, with merry shout and song, The longed-for haven farther on they find. The perils and anxieties are done, The voyage is finished and the glory won. Are not we, too, like vessels set adrift, Unknowing, on a wild, tempestuous sea; The harbor-master lie who can uplift. And from the seething waters set us free? Oh. may our fleet prove worthy as they sail. And stoutly weather every threatening gale! We greet the sea with spirits strong and brave,. As tides of life come rolling, crashing on. But some sad day we ll look across the wave, And dream of peaceful times forever gone. Of happy days, when, sheltered from all strife.

Avcrv, teachers, classmates, and friends: We are gathered together this morning to listen to the call of citizenship, of duty, that call which summons us as men and women to take up and perform to the best of our ability our share of life's work. For some of us who intend to spend a few additional years in preparation the call may not sound with so clear a note, but for most of us who must pass at once into the field of life the call is immediate and im- perative in its summons. That the average man must engage in some gainful work is verv evident: he must work to earn his livelihood, and in America, perhaps more than in other countries, he is an object of contempt if he docs not do this. This attitude on the part of Americans with re- gard to work is possibly a conviction inherited by us from .our colonial ancestors, a conviction that resulted from the great work necessary for the conquest and development of our land. Three centuries ago our forefathers conquered this then primeval country. They had sailed across the ocean in search of a new home, and each one felt it his duty to enlist his services in the struggle. There was no opportunity for the growth of a leis- ure class. First, it was necessary to clear the land and to hold it. Then came the problems of con- struction and development. These steps necessi- tated work of the most exacting nature, and dur- ing the early years the call to action was almost incessant and our forefathers responded to it no- bly. To-day the nature of the call has changed; its summons has a different meaning for the youth : it requires of him other and widely varying quali- fications. Let us consider what are the needs of the youth of the present day. First, he must have a sound body and a sound mind. In the past, physical strength was the essential requirement of the suc- cessful youth, because in the early days of coloni- zation and construction there were tremendous difficulties to be overcome, severe hardships to be endured. To-day. physical strength is important, although it is utilized in a different way from here- tofore. The body must be strong enough to stand the wear and tear on the nerve forces, for the youth of to-dav has need of more nervous energy than had his ancestors, because the various occu- pations of man at present are more strenuous, the pressure L heavier, and the conditions of life are more exacting than in the past. Next, the vouth must be efficient. Formerly, it was custotnarv for the untrained lad to enter some shop as an apprentice where he served until he had mastered that particular trade. To-day. however, such apprentice-training will not suffice. The present demands scientific knowledge in addition to practical knowledge. The youth cannot afford to be lacking on this point. Take, for example, agriculture. The successful farmer must knowr how to obtain the best results from his farm, that is. he must be able to determine by chemical analysis the properties of his soil; he must know what sub- stances his soil should contain so that his crops w ill llourish: furthermore, he must know how to supplv those substances which are missing, and how to renew those which are consumed during the progress of plant life. The man who under- stands thoroughly the scientific principles under- lying these facts is always the one who obtains the best results. There are numerous other applications that we might consider, but they all point toward the same conclusion: that is. that the youth who desires to deal intelligently with the problems of life, and to take a successful part in any of the professional or industrial activities of the day, must bring to his work a scientific education, a trained efficiency that will enable him to apply his knowledge. Desirable as arc these qualities of mind and body, thev stand second to character. Xo thor- oughness of training, no keenness of intellect, can make tip for the lack of the solid qualities and vir- tues. force, courage, integrity, and sense of honor. Furthermore, the vouth who possesses trained ef- ficiency without character is a detriment to the community to which he belongs. The harmful uses to which he may put this knowledge make him a far greater menace to his fellow men than the man who has received only the most elementary training. Some of the greatest problems with which the men of a republic must deal are those of citizen- ship. It will be our duty as prospective citizens of 226 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR S. E. H. S. - 191 ( EVA SPRAGUE, Prophetess. HAZEL THOMPSON, Odist. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 227 this country to assist in finding a solution to cer- tain of these problems. First, and most impor- tant of all if a republic is to succeed, the average citizen must be a good citizen. He must recog- nize and be mindful of his civic duties, i le should be willing to serve his country in a political ca- pacity or even as a soldier, if need arises. In all things let him strive to do his best. Even though he fail, lie docs not fail absolutely if he has put forth all his heart and strength in a worthy cause. Let him not be of those who hold themselves aloof from the conflict and criticise the efforts of others. On this point let me quote the words of Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt, who. because of his personality, his fitness and preparedness for life, because of the way in which lie has striven for the political and economic betterment of his country, has become for us an ideal, an example of the best type of American manhood. In a recent address on citi- zenship he says: It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds would have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who L actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood: who strives val- iantly: who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and short- coming: and who at the worst, if lie fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Classmates, opportunity is before us. We are about to go forth into the field of life: we are pre- pared to battle with its temptations, to strive for its glories. Soon we shall hear the call to citizen- ship. It may be a call to take up arms in defence of our country: it may be a call to work for the civic and economic betterment of our country, but whatever this call may mean, may we hope that it will not find us wanting, but that we will step for- ward to a man. and answer “Here. lEnflUsb, 1910, Class Obe Xv.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 229 £bc THanb of jfatc 36y? Brtbur S. Datcb, X.,T0 C’K HIXCKLEV, Esq., was a young detective of northern England. Eonr years previous to the begin- ning of our story, he had graduated from the private detective school at London. Since that time he had been connected with several government cases which had brought him a handsome little fortune as well as a wide reputation. ()nc night, as he sat reading in the library of his large mansion, he was interrupted by the entrance of Lord Dillingham. his nearest neighbor. 1 Iardly replying to Jack's ‘‘Good evening, my lord.” that dignitary broke forth: ‘‘I have been robbed, Mr. Hinckley, robbed! This afternoon my wife missed a diamond ring, worth a thousand pounds, from its box where she keeps it. The window was wide open, and one of the servants saw a man come out of the lower orchard and go down the road about noon. Now. I think that man stole the ring. W hat is to be done about it?” “'J'lie first thing is to calm yourself.” replied Hinckley. “You go back home and leave it to me. I'll get the ring back for you.” “If you put that ring in my hands inside of two weeks, young man. you shall have five hundred pounds.” promised the old lord. As he said this, he departed from the house, and Jack buried himself in deep thought. Soon lie also left the house, and made his way to the inn, about a mile distant. Here he learned, from a conversation with the inn-keeper, that a strange lady had arrived that afternoon on foot, and that she was going to London by the stage coach on the following morning. As lie walked homeward, he decided two things: First, that the strange lady at the inn was no other than the man who had stolen the ring, and second, that he himself would go to London bv stage the next morning. « ' Seven o'clock found Hinckley at the inn. pre- pared for his all-day ride. As he expected, he found a tall lady also waiting for the coach. Soon it came lumbering along and stopped at the door. The lady stepped clumsily in. As she did so, a small card dropped from the folds of her dress to the ground. Jack picked it up and put it into his pocket. The door closed, and on they started. It happened that there were no other passen- gers in the coach that morning. Hinckley made many futile endeavors to join in conversation with the lady traveler, but could get no answer beyond a monosyllable, which was uttered in a deep, masculine voice. This fact, together with the stature and large hands of the individual, cor- roborated his idea of the previous night, namely, that this person was the man who had stolen the ring. And so they journeyed silently on. until, late in the afternoon, the stage rolled into London. Immediately, on engaging a room in a quiet little hotel, Hinckley took from his pocket the card which belonged to the passenger. It read as follows: Mrs. Rogers, 23 Holdsbcrg road, Lon- don.” After eating his evening meal, he set out in search of this street, which he found with little difficulty. ()n arriving at number twenty-three, lie knocked at the door, and was answered by an old Scotch woman, who asked very curtlv what he wanted. “IMease, my kind lady, may I see Mrs. Rogers?” asked Jack, as he lifted his hat. “I know of no such woman, was the reply, and my kind lady” closed the door in his face. W ith an inscrutable smile, Hinckley retired to the further side of the street to watch, and, at the same time, to plan some new mode of attack. After waiting half an hour or so. the door opened, and out stepped a man. He clasped his hand to his breast, as if to see if something there was safe, looked all around in the darkness, and started swiftly down the street. Jack, from his station behind a huge tree, easily recognized him as the thief, alias Mrs. Rogers. It was an easy matter for the detective to fol- low the man. and this he did without being ob- served. Soon he noticed him turn down a long wharf. Jack arrived just in time to sec a small schooner being pushed off, with the man he was following standing on the deck. A rapidly widen- ing gap separated him from the thief. W ell, he did give me the slip pretty neatly,” mused Hinckley, as he walked slowly up the wharf. At the head he met the keeper, and entered into conversation with him for the purpose of getting a little information. W hen he left this is what lie had found out: The boat was the “Ollic l .” bound for Bordeaux, a seaport town of western 230 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR France. It was a merchantman, with a cargo of butter, and had, on this trip, as passenger, a tall, dark-complexioned man. who had engaged his passage a week in advance. Not to be so easily eluded, Hinckley returned to his room and spent the remainder of the even- ing thinking how to recover the ring. He realized that the name on the card was fictitious, and that very likely the card had been dropped in order to put off the scent anyone who should at- tempt to follow the thief. At length, after medi- tating for some time, his plans were decided upon, and he went to bed. $ Four days later Hinckley was in Bordeaux. He had crossed to the mainland by boat, and had come the remaining distance by coach. On his arrival he made his wav to the wharves in search of the Ollic B.” I le soon found her at her berth, rising and falling with every wave. On the deck sat an old sailor, with a bandage about his head. He was calmly smoking his pipe and whittling a piece of wood. Jack approached him and soon they were talking like old friends. Hinckley urged the sailor to speak of his last trip, and this is what he told:— ‘ Well, we had a little excitement on our last trip,” he began. “We had been out about two days when a pirate hove in sight. They gave us a pretty good chase, but it takes a fast boat to overhaul the ‘Ollie I’� Well, we had a passenger on board that was the funniest acting man I ever see. He was awfully nervous, and when the jolly rover hove in sight he acted so strange that I de- cided to watch him. He seemed to have some- thing valuable with him, for, every now and then, he would put his hand to his chest. I went below to see if everything was all right, and when I started back I saw the passenger coming down the stairs. He didn’t see me. so I hid behind a pile of rope. He knocked off the cover of one of the kegs, and dug a hole in th • butter. Then he took something shining out of his pocket, pushed it into the hole, and covered up the keg. I took note of which keg it was. and followed him up on deck. By that time we were well rid of the pirates, but as tjie cap'll thought we would sail better on the starboard tack, we came about. I was so intent watching the passenger, and he was so intent watching the pirate, that neither of us saw the boom coming over, and, as I was told afterwards, we both got knocked on the head. I fell on the deck, but the passenger was less fortunate. He fell over the railing, and we couldn’t stop to pick him up for fear of the pirates. He was uncon- scious. anyway, and probably was drowned in half a minute. I didn't come to, myself, until this morning.’’ But what became of the ring?” asked Jack, in his eagerness. W hat ring?” said the sailor, looking up. I mean the shining thing that the man put in the keg. Probably it was a ring or a precious stone or something like that,” said Jack, catching himself just in time. “()h. I don’t know,” said the sailor. Hinckley's expectations were snapped like a thread. I le had already told himself that the ring was found and the reward was his. But now, at the last statement of the sailor, his hopes fell. I'lie sailor resumed: I don’t know. We got in yesterday noon, and unloaded the boat. When I came to, I told the cap’ll and the boys about what I had seen, but they only laughed at me and said I had dreamed it when I was unconscious. See- ing as how I couldn’t prove mv statements, the matter rested then and there, and I don’t know what has become of any of the kegs of butter. They were all mixed up and sold to different stores and inns in the city.” Jack resumed his walk. He had been in deep thought during the last part of the yarn. It was evident that the passenger who had been drowned was the man he was looking for. But what had become of the ring? If he could find that what did he care about the thief? But Hinckley had reached his limit. Never yet had a case got the better of him. but he was now forced to admit that he had met his Waterloo. He had no means of following the ring. He de- cided to give it all up and return home. With this object in view, he went to his room and made preparations for the coming journey. In the morning he sat down to breakfast with very little appetite. However, he forced himself to eat something to strengthen him for the long ride ahead. The waiter had just placed a large plate of butter on the table along with some tea and toast. As Jack started to butter a slice of toast his knife scraped upon something hard in the butter. He dug it forth. It was a ring. It was the ring. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 231 Hit Unintentional Impersonation JGv? flDartba H. J!3r ?an, ]£., TO OSFJTI WAUGH TON', the young physician, was alone in the world. Ilis mother had died when he was but two years old, and his father five years later, while the boy was away at boarding school. Of his mother he could remember nothing, but of his father he recalled the memories of many happy visits when he had been gladdened with some tov or gift given to please his boyish heart. 'I lie first real, appreciable sorrow in Joseph Waughton’s life came when the head teacher of the school called the child to her and told him that his father was dead, and that he had left him under the guardianship of a reliable bank with enough money to complete a college education. What a sense of loneliness fell upon the heart of the young boy! At that moment of grief no rela- tive. no person, except his teachers, came forward to console the lonely child : and so never having seen nor heard of any relatives, he had finally taken it for granted that he had none. Rut Joseph Waughton was naturally ambitious. He continued his education and. making the best of all his opportunities, in due time he became an M. 1). and began practicing in the poorer section of the large city of Williston. Having chosen his field of work, he finally took rooms at the home of Mrs. Xaugliton. a widow, in whose winsome and sympathetic daughter, Josephine, he found an invaluable friend. ()nc morning, after he had returned from a visit to a patient. Josephine handed him a letter addressed in a scrawling, shaky hand to J. Xaughton.” What is that letter, an X or a W. and is it for me or for you. Doctor? Oh. it must be for you; there is no title ‘Miss’ prefixed, and besides.’’ looking at the post-mark, I don’t know anybody in Kiverdale. Doubtless it’s from one of your recuperating patients,” she said laughingly, hand- ing the letter to the doctor. When he reached his room he read the letter, which requested “my dear grandchild to forgive the anger of a jealous and bitter grandfather and come as soon as possible to settle the large estate, to which the dear grandchild” was the only heir, and to help brighten his grandfather’s few re- maining days. Joseph Waughton was nonplussed. The very idea!” he exclaimed. After my living all these years in solitude and loneliness until I found Jo. suddenly an apparently wealthy grandfather whom I never knew existed, steps forward and re- quests me to come to his home! Why didn’t he give the helpless orphan aid instead of the grown man? Xo. I don’t believe 1 care to go to him. I don’t want a crank’s money, and besides I shall be happier here with Jo than there with him. Xo. I will not go! He settled himself in a chair by the fireplace and thought the situation over. It was positively out of the question. He was comfort- able here in the widow Xaughton’s home, and when he earned enough to support two, he in- tended asking Jo to be the other one. Well.” rousing himself from his reverie. 1 wonder if Jo will walk in the park with me this lovely evening?” Yes, Jo would go, and in the park he told her of this letter and its request and f the long and cruel silence that caused him to reject the offer so decidedly. Don’t be so absurd, you foolish bov!” she ex- claimed. “Rite off your nose to spite your face! Xonscnsc! Ry all means go to him. Think of the opportunity you would be casting aside. ‘Opportunity knocks at most men’s doors but once!’ ” Joseph Waughton was silent. Yes. it would be foolish, and he would be spiting himself. What was more, he was casting opportunitv aside, and possibly by grasping opportunity Jo would be nearer his reach. Well, if Jo really advised it.— and Jo did,—he must go. So the acceptance of his “dear grandfather’s kind invitation” was mailed and preparations were made immediately for his departure. Jo went to the train with him to bid him good-by, and he promised to write and tell her all about this strange, new-found grandfather and his home. After a five-hours’ journey. Joseph Waughton arrived at the Kiverdale station, where he found a little trap waiting to take him up to the lodge. 'Hie drive up the country road, in the clear autumn air. beneath the arch of brightly-colored foliage, had a refreshing effect upon the spirit of Joseph Waughton. and he decided to accept Fate and make the best of Opportunity. 232 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “There's the lodge in there through the trees, Rivcrdale lodge, the pride of the countryside. I hear you will be the next owner. Lucky fellow! Foolish of your mother to leave it for a poor chap like your father, wasn’t it. eh?” But the imperti- nent driver, receiving no reply from his passenger, whipped up his horse and talked no more. The young doctor, however, was thinking of his words, “foolish of your mother to leave it for a poor chap like your father. Doubtless that was the cause of the old gentleman’s silence and bitter- ness.—disappointed ambition. ()n his arrival a servant in livery directed him to the rooms which had been prepared for him, and he was told to ring when he was ready to be conducted to his host. In a short time his dusty traveling suit had been exchanged for a fresh black one, and he was on his way to the library to be presented. There by the fireside sat a little, bent old man, with apparently not many years to live. He ex- cused himself for not rising, but as he greeted Joseph, the ring in the quavering old voice was not the less eager and warm. “Xo.” his first words were, after receiving him: “You do not look at all like her, and I had hoped that you would be her counterpart. But I’m glad you’re a man. even if you do look like vour father; the place will be better in a man’s hands. J didn’t know whether my grandchild was a boy or a girl, but I did hear that my girl named her child as nearly as possible for her old daddy. Oh. my girl was never bitter; she was like her mother. Is she still living? Xo? I did not know,” tears welling up in the dim old eyes. I was bitter, oh, so bitter! I couldn’t consent to her marrying that poor fellow, but she loved him. and she went. And you say you don’t even remember her and but little of your father! Can you forgive your old grandfather and trv to like him for your mother’s sake? It was because I loved her so much that I was so deeplv hurt.” The old man’s feeble frame shook with sobs, and Joseph Waughton’s heart was moved to pity. Yes. lie would forgive and try to forget the old gentle- man's bitterness. Days passed on into weeks and the weeks rolled on into two months, and still the young doctor continued to enjoy the luxurious home of his newly-found grandfather. However, he had not forgotten |« . nor did he fail to write to her regu- larly. But one morn the old gentleman’s solicitor, Mr. King, was announced, and as Joseph’s company was not required for the day, he decided to spend his time on horseback. Well, .Mr. Earle,” began the lawyer, “I be- lieve I've straightened out your affairs at last- Yesterday I found your only daughter Beatrice, Mrs. Xaughton, and I came immediately to in- form you. I lie old gentleman gasped with amazement. My Beatrice alive! It must be a mistake! The boy says his mother died when he was but two years old, and a fine fellow he is. too. fine fellow!” The boy! Xow was Mr. King’s chance to explain the mystery. “Beatrice’s only child is a girl. Josephine, named after you as nearly as possible. They are coming to-day.” The old man could find no words to express his feelings, but the tears shone in his dim old eyes. To-day! Keep the trap at the station; hurry them here! But who is this young man that I have been harboring for the past two months?’ When I got my first inkling of the child’s where- abouts. I sent a letter to ‘J. Xaughton,’ and lie came. I am sure he is no trickster. I like the fellow and hate to lose hint. He's honest.” Xo. Mr. Earle, he is not a trickster.” explained Mr. King, lie was living in your daughter’s house, and when your letter arrived Miss Jose- phine was in so much doubt about the initial let- ter ‘X’ that she handed the letter over to the doctor, little thinking that she was handing over her fortune, nor he, that he was getting what did not belong to him. Your daughter speaks highly of him. and considers him an honest and high- minded young man.” Well, well, well! What a strange thing! But this will never do; we will talk it all over later: now we must get rooms prepared for Beatrice and her child.” The excitement of his newly-found joy enlivened him. and after a few attempts he found that he would be able to greet them at the door. Yes, he would be the first. Carriage wheels at last! The old man’s heart leaped, and he reached the door in an incredibly short time for his lame and rheumatic body. At last she was clasped in his arms once more! That meeting after so many years was too sacred a scene, and Mr. King quietly withdrew. The old man's dim eyes fell finally upon the girl, his namesake, and the exact counterpart of his own young daughter. The years seemed to fall from him as he became once more young with his child. The sound of galloping hoofs was heard, and Josephine ran quickly to meet her lover, for had SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 he not written to her in his mistaken prosperity and asked her t share his fortune, and had she not accepted? Yes. indeed. And the old man was not slow to observe the surprise of the man. the pleasure of the maid, and the love of both in that greeting. That night, after all things had been explained and forgiven around the old fireplace, he took the fresh young hands of the two young lovers in his withered ones and said softlv: “When I see you two made one my joy will be complete, and my cup will be filled. And Josephine, pressing the withered old hand to her lips, whispered: That will be soon, daddy dear. H fllMbmgbt Escapade 36£ leonard a. iRice, X., T2 COULD hear their hasty footsteps as they started across the bridge after me. I glanced back. The leading grenadier was swinging his lantern in front of him as he ran. Great God, were they blood- hounds that they could follow me so closely? I looked toward the other end of the bridge as I paused for breath, and my heart leaped into my mouth, for there, at the other end of the bridge, not ten rods away, another light gleamed. Midnight and all is well. Jove, it was an- other detachment of the watch. What should I do? Jump into the river and float down until I came to the city border? I looked down into the inky blackness and shuddered. No. I would fight the watch. 1 drew my pistols and cocked them. Suddenly 1 felt the bridge tremble under the beat of a horse’s hoofs. I heard the sharp challenge of the watch and then a horse loomed up out of the darkness. It came nearer and nearer, and I could make out the form of its rider. A sudden resolve came to me. 1 replaced my pistols in my belt and then----- I crouched back against the rail, and as the rider and steed came abreast of me I gathered myself together, and. with a mighty leap, my knees drawn up to my chin. I shot thro the air straight at the dim form outlined against the sky. I struck the figure with a dull thud and with such force that it sent the man out of his saddle like a shot, and he struck the bridge with a low groan. But I was erect in the saddle in an instant with the horse galloping for the end of the bridge, where the watch was now coming in my direction on the run. I must not be stopped by them, for my de- scription was all over London by now. and they would know me at once. 1 drew my sword and repeatcdlv struck my horse with the fiat of it until he was galloping madly straight for the mass of men in the mid- dle of the bridge. In a second I was in the midst of them, cutting right and left. There was a cry behind me! The other portion of the watch was behind. If I did not escape before they came, there would soon be a rope around mv neck. I struck the horse a heavy blow with the sword. In the pain of the blow he reared into the air amf his hoofs crashed thro’ the skull of a soldier who was just about to grasp the reins. That was my opportunity! In an instant I was out of the mass of men and tearing down the bridge at a: fearful gallop. God be thanked that I had old Black Bess waiting outside the town for me, for the breath of the horse I was riding was coming in heavy gasps. I was soon at the edge of the city, and then into the patch of woods where Black Bess, stood. I tethered the borrowed horse and fed it from the saddle bags of Black Bess, and was off on the dead gallop for the W hite Road, where Lord Duncan’s coach would pass soon. Ahaf that would be a great haul. Sixteen passengers and all lords and ladies of the land! And Dick Turpin had once more escaped the King’s grenadiers, and to-night would be back at the Spaniards for a short nap before the alarm reached London. 234 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR B Xittle Xa s of ©lb Virginia 36$ Pauline Conant, ’10 XE of Old Father W inter’s blustering blizzards had settled down in true earnest upon the town of Chester, X. J. Each hour saw the drifts towering higher and higher, and the wild north wind beat against the casements of the windows, boldly demanding ad- mittance. I he day had been a busy one for me, but my boys and girls had tired of every amuse- ment. and now were begging me to tell them what to do. First 1 suggested that Charles and Elliott should build a cheery, roaring fire in the fireplace, and then I would relate a tale that particularly belonged to them. Soon the great logs sent forth a warmth and glow that already brought interest and contentment to the faces of my little brood, and we were a merry, happy circle of five that gathered round the hearth. For a long time, children, I have had this story in mind for you, but 1 felt it would be wiser to wait untii you came to that part of American his- tory which deals with the Civil War. You re- member. Alice, that only yesterday you said you thought the Southerners had treated the North- erners just as shamefully when they captured them as vice-versa. May those days that you spoke of for the Yankees in Libby Prison at Rich- mond never be repeated! The prison was origi- nally a warehouse, but was immediately given up for the use of a prison house for Yankee captives. 'I'imes had come to such a pass that even if the face of a soldier appeared at one of the windows, lie was shot down by a sentry standing without. A few men were released in time, but the re- mainder were becoming desperate. There •seemed no means of escape, and yet every mo- ment was worth battling for. At length they ■found a means by which to tunnel a passage underground a certain distance, and thence make their escape t� freedom and the open air. “One night, when everything seemed favorable for their flight, thirty started, but the thirty-first ■was exceedingly stout, lie could go so far. but no farther. 1 le thought « f his companions ahead, and knew he must not cry out until they had gone beyond danger: and then he called lustily for help. After the warning was given, and the sentinels bad come to his relief, a party was immediately despatched to re-capture the thirty. It was dis- covered that the tunnel ended almost in the yard � f Miss an Loo, the postmistress of Richmond. She was a sprightly, buxom dame, whose politics had never been questioned, but had easily won the hearts of both sides. Moreover, in earlier days, before war had shown its cruel hand, many bril- liant assemblages were held at the Van Loo man- sion. It was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Miss Grace had just bidden good-by to two old cronies of hers, who had come in to sew and talk over the serious conditions of the time. She was her own calm self with them, but as soon as she was left alone, up and down, up and down she paced. You ask me what her extreme agitation meant? Wait and see. Presently she saw a beautiful iron-gray horse come galloping up the street, followed by a large party of troopers, and the leader, a burly, red- faced fellow, jumped down in front of her home. Her whole being felt suddenly numbed, but only for a moment. Lightly she ran down the brOad staircase, and greeted the officer with the true hospitality of a Southern gentlewoman. 'Madam, the leader addressed her, ‘it has been discovered that the tunnel begun in Libby Prison has, unfortunately, ended near your gar- den. Xow we all know your party feelings, yet we have orders to search the house 'The house is vours, colonel,' she replied, ‘search it from top to bottom.’ A relay of them clanked in, slashed here, pounded there, opened this door and that chest, trooped up the stairs, even to the little tower-room, inhabited by a peaceful cat and her family. Nobody was to be found. W ith much ceremony and many apologies, they departed even more swiftly than they had come, and Miss Wan Loo was once more alone. Alone, was she? is questioned on your faces. Let us suppose so, anyhow, even if no one knew that quietly that night, when all was deadly still, thirty forms crept stealthily away through Miss Van Loo’s orchard, following the course by the river. Thirty years later, when the war was a subject rarely mentioned. Miss Grace was laid to rest with her forebears. Her sister had returned, to sell or keep the many relics that would naturally be in a SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 235 house of that period. Many valuable letters were found, correspondence carried on between Miss Van Loo and famous men of the day. through her position as postmistress. Most valuable of all was her diary, in which was minutely recorded the story I have just told. She also revealed the place where she had hidden the thirty men. Sure enough, in a corner of an unfinished room of the house was a beautiful mahogany cabinet. This was taken away, and there was a hole in the wall, which led to the cornice of the piazza roof. 'The cornice was so deep that these men. by lying down full length, were barely concealed from Observa- tion. ‘'Here. then, so many years before, the thirty had breathlessly awaited their doom or their de- liverance. The brave little lady was my aunt, children, and your great-aunt. Not even my own father knew about it until her diary was read, for at the time he was away fighting in the Northern army, and his other brother was in the Southern ranks. Can we not realize what hard days those must have been for her, but are we not vastly proud that an ancestor of ours played so noble a part in such a glorious cause?” The bright flames had died down, the high wind had subsided, and the rat-tap of the gathering frost on the windows beat a tune to the subdued thoughts of the little group. They felt disinclined for hilarity, as it seemed to them the soul of the tale was like the tap of a drum in their hearts, and their eagerness grew in prospect of another allur- ing story-day. when more tales would be forth- coming about the little lady in the days of old Vir- ginia. H jfroltc 'Mature .16 ? iDav jflabertxN n .t MO HAD been walking for some time through the fields on the edge of a wood. Never before had I seen such a day; a June sun and a Sep- tember wind, clover and buttercups under foot, and a sparkling October sky over head. The earth seemed to enjoy it as a sort of masquerading frolic. The breeze was so strong that it took the butterflies half off their legs, and they fairly reeled about in the sun. I sat down on a hillock, among the ferns which grew on the side of a gurgling brook. Presently I was attracted to a bee. The little busy bee is not always busy. This one did a great amount of aimless, idle snuffing and tasting of all sorts of things besides flowers; especially he indulged in a running accompaniment of gymnastics among the grass stalks. I watched another go through a series of trapeze movements from top to bottom, from bottom to top of a grass tangle. When he got through he smoothed himself down exactly as a circus man does. Then he took a long sip at a clover well and flew away. I could not help thinking that the clovers were keeping time to an invisible band-playing; and were trying to catch hold of the buttercups. I lay down on the grass and looked off through the stems, and then I saw for the first time how close they were, and that they constantlv swayed and touched, and sometimes locked fast together for a: second. Stately as a minuet it looked, but joyous as the wildest waltz. Suddenly the breeze increased to a brisk wind. Hundreds of petals, snatched from their stems,, spun round and round; the breeze tossed them up- higher and higher and sprinkled the air with the white and gold shields. The flowers broke into the maddest whirl, nodding and bending, twirling about until their slender stems were tangled to- gether like a green lattice. Then the living lat- tice untwined, and. breathless with their frolic, the gay little dancers dashed on, carried away by the enthralling music. Suddenly as it began, the wind ceased. The leaves fluttered softly to the ground: the wearied little dancers bent their heads to rest, and all was as calm and serene as before. 236 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Catching tbe IRunawav J6 ftaroift B. Crafton, TO S I was seated one day in the telegraph office of a way station of the P. and Q. Railroad, the telegraph suddenly commenced to click rapidly. The operator opened his key and sig- naled: “Go ahead : then seizing pencil, wrote the message out. I noticed him start as he sat in the chair, and almost before the mes- sage ceased, he gave one bound out the door, cry- ing. as he ran: “Come on, boys, out with No. 17. Wild engine coming up from P---------. Must stop it before the flyer leaves T----- siding.” Instantly all was bustle. No. 17 was run out of the roundhouse on to a spur track near the main line : a man was stationed to open the switch after the runaway had passed, and then No. 1' was to take up the pursuit. Hours seemed to pass before a distant roar told us that the runaway was near. As I stood there, an insane desire took possession of me to go on this wild race with death, and, without thinking of the consequences, I stole around the front of the engine and climbed on to the step leading to the cab. With a noise like ten tornadoes and accom- panied by sand enough to ballast miles of track, the runaway flashed by. and was almost immedi- ately lost to sight. Put No. 17 had started, and gathering speed at every revolution of her drivers, was soon going far too fast for my com- fort as I hung on to the steps of the cab. When the speed became so great that I no longer need fear being put off, I climbed up into the cab. The fireman turned around and shouted: “Well, I’ll be blowed. look here, Pill, look what’s here.” The engineer turned for an instant, saving as he did so: “Well. kid. you must want to go to king- dom come, for that’s where we’re going. “Oh. no,” said I. with the easy confidence of youth. “I guess not. I know you’ll catch her. Me gave a sort of disgusted grunt, and did not concern himself further about me. The fireman, however, invited me with a shove to get into his seat. I hastily accepted, seated myself up there, and looking along the swaying boiler of the en- gine. which was nosing frightfully, 1 realized by what a hair our lives lumg. My meditations were cut short by a terrible scream behind me! The fireman had. in some way. lost his balance, and had shot out of the cab. rolling over and over, but finally he rose, waved his hand, and in a few min- utes disappeared, as we rounded a curve. Pill, the engineer, turned his head, and seeing the lost fireman sitting up, glued his eyes on the rails ahead. Horrified at his cold-blooded manner. I was dumb for a moment, but, chancing to glance ahead, I saw the object of this wild ride just rounding a curve, about a mile ahead. Then Pill turned to me and said, or rather, shouted: It’s no use. kid. got to have some coal some wav. Ought to raise that steam ten pounds. It’s up to you.” Realizing that he wanted me to fire his engine, I seized the shovel, and after desperate attempts to maintain my equilibrium and shovel coal, too, 1 finally got a few shovelfuls on. That’ll do.” said Pill, and I resumed my seat on the opposite side of the swaying cab. To my astonishment, the runaway was only a few hundred yards away and we were gaining on it every minute. Then Pill called me to him again and said: Kid. I want you to go out there on the pilot and open her coupling so that when I bump her she’ll hold. Take that rope there and tie yourself so that you won't fall off. because if you do, you’re gone.” I shivered, but feeling Pill’s eye on me and wanting to show that I wasn't afraid. I seized the rope, climbed out the narrow cab window, along the boiler, and finally down onto the pilot. I tied myself onto a convenient rod. The force of the wind left me breathless, while dust and cinders from the runaway beat on my face. Pulling my cap over my eves. I looked forward and saw the rear of the tender of the wild engine, on which was painted in bright figures “818.” Nearer and nearer it came, nearer and nearer, until I could almost touch it! Then with a quick motion, just as I had seen brakemcn do. I opened the coupling, drew back, and with a sharp crash the engines came together! With a scream of tightening brakes No. 17 put all her force into staying the huge monster in front, bent on de- struction. Tighter and tighter the brakes gripped, until, with a lurch, we came to a stop. The drivers of the runawav were still revolving, but the brakes of No. 17 held firm. Pill ran forward, and in a moment the motion SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 237 ceased, and all was quiet. Somewhere ahead I heard a locomotive whistle screaming: Down brakes.” Then I heard Hill's returning footsteps. I le came up to me, untied my waist, and stood me on my feet beside the track. Kid.” he said, grasping my hand, you’re right there.” Looking up the track, my heart leaped into mv month. I low narrow had been our escape I then realized. Only a short distance up the track was the flyer standing motionless! Steam was shooting out of her safety, and the passengers were dropping off the long string of Pullmans. They now came running toward us. crying, as they came: What is it? Anybody hurt?” What's the matter? Then the women, seeing the luckless engineer, commenced to gush over him. Xoble man. Kn't he just too picturesque?” Where’s mv camera?” Hill, glad to be rid of them, pointed to me. say- ing: There’s your genuine hero, I ain’t the one.” With one accord thev rushed on me. I was seized and carried aloft on shoulders, cheers were given, and a hat passed about among the passen- gers. Visions of a Carnegie medal danced before my eyes; at least I should be a millionaire. Then, as more and more poured into the hat. I aspired to the position of multi-millionaire! As these thoughts flashed through my mind. I felt my head swelling until it was twice its original size. Then with a roar it burst. Here I woke up and found that in my exciting adventures I had rolled out of bed and landed on mv head on the floor. Dow 36ra fort Mae “Shown JL ?

I wish every one in the city could be as independent as the name sug- gests,” said Elaine Wellington to her seat-mate, who was getting her baggage together for her. You have been very kind to me. Mr. Sargent; wasn't it fortunate that we happened to be on the same train? Yes. indeed it was. and a dreaded trip has turned out to be the pleasantest I have ever ex- perienced. answered the stalwart young man. I hope I may see you again? I shall probably run up to Kansas City quite often on business, and Independence is only a short distance from there.” T'or my part, 1 should be delighted t sec you ; it would make it seem more like home to see some one from the East, but you know I’m going to live with mv guardian and his wife, and I cannot answer for their wishes. Nevertheless, come on my invi- tation. and perhaps you may gain theirs. Elaine Wellington was a young girl who. by the death of her father a month before, had been left an orphan. In his will, he had left all his fortune to his daughter, but had provided that both she and her money should be under the care of Mr. Robert Hradford, of Missouri, an old school friend of his. So, much against her will. Elaine had left her old home citv. Ctica, X. Y., to begin life in a dull little Western town. Hy good luck, she chanced to meet on the train an acquaintance, John Sargent. The engine gave a snort, the train stopped with a jerk, and Elaine found herself being helped to the platform by Mr. Sargent. A hurried good-by was said, he jumped on the train again and was gone, and Elaine was left standing on the platform in the Independence station alone. Lonely indeed she felt for a moment, but once again her bright disposition asserted itself, and site smiled bravely. She looked around for an elderly gentleman with a guardian’s look (she just knew she could distinguish him bv that look), when a man in coachman’s livery approached her, hat in hand. Are you Miss Wellington?” he asked. Yes. or I was in L’tica,” answered Elaine. Mighty funny people come from (Jtica,” thought Williams, just as if coming to Missouri was going to change her name any,” but aloud said: IMcase come this way, Miss. I’ll attend to your baggage later. Mr. Hradford was unable to meet you, but indeed. Miss, I can take you to the house all right. I’d much prefer to have the horse and carriage take me. said Elaine, with a dignified face, but with a sparkle of fun lurking in the corners of her eyes. Elaine found life at the Hradlords’ not quite so 23« SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR lonesome as she had imagined it would be. Mrs. Bradford was a semi-invalid, very amiable, but, as Elaine thought to herself, ‘she was like a parrot; whatever her husband said, she agreed to.” Mr. Bradford was agreeable enough, but very stern. They had no children, which Elaine exceedingly regretted. As the days went on, the pleasure which she came to enjoy more than anv other was horseback riding, and every fine dav she went for a long trot on her own particular horse. One morning Elaine was riding along the main road when she saw a horseman appear a con- siderable distance down the road. “Oh. dear, I do hope he isn't that Mr. Holmes who lives next door. He is such a bore, and he will probably turn around and ride with me. I believe I’ll turn down this side road before he sees me. She was just about to carry this idea into effect when she thought she saw something in the rider’s appear- ance different from that of Mr. Holmes. She con- tinued along the same road, and as he approached she recognized that the rider was none other than Mr. Sargent. “Do you know. I was just going to try to evade you. thinking you were someone else,” commented Elaine after the usual greetings. Would you like to evade me now?” asked her companion. Of course not. Didn't I tell you before that it made it seem more like home to see someone from Utica?” They proceeded to the house, and Mr. Sargent was made acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Brad- ford. After that call, Mr. Sargent frequently had business in Kansas Citv, and he never failed to ride over to Independence. During one of these calls he asked Mr. Bradford for the right to marry Elaine. Mr. Bradford prided himself on the fact that he very seldom made mistakes: this he con- sidered was because he was verv deliberate in evervthing he did. Consequently, he refused to give his consent to their marriage, saying that he hadn’t any proof that Mr. Sargent was worthy of his ward. All pleadings on the part of the two young people were useless. Her guardian was a Missourian, and he had to be shown. Mr. Bradford secretly hoped that Elaine would marrv Mr. Holmes, the man whom she thought was such a bore. He reasoned that this young man was honest, and had plenty of monev. If lie asked to marrv Elaine it would be for herself and not for her fortune. A month later Mr. Bradford went down to Galena to see a mine in which some men from that town had interested him. Thcv took him to the mine, assuring him that it was the best of its kind anywhere around, and that it was paying better all the time. Mr. Bradford had great faith in their opinions, because they were men of great business ability. He was very much surprised when they went down the shaft to sec John Sar- gent as overseer. However, the surprise was just as great on Sargent’s part, for he wondered it those men were trying to get Bradford to buy stock, lie knew that the ore was running out, and he imagined that the men were big enough cheats to sell off the stock to anyone who was in- experienced enough to buy it. He found out from their talk, as lie accompanied them around the mine, that that was just what tliev were trying to do. and he could also see that Mr. Bradford was favorably impressed. There was plenty of worthless rock in the mine, which to the untrained eye would look like zinc and lead, and Mr. Brad- ford knew scarcely anything about ore. After going all around the mine, he left the men with satisfied smiles on their faces. After they had gone. Sargent thought quickly and earnestly. He must keep Mr. Bradford from buying that stock, but how? They would proba- bly go at once to a lawyer's office and complete the arrangements. Still, Mr. Bradford might.go to the hotel first. So, on that chance. Sargent rushed out to a telephone and called up the hotel. The clerk who answered said that Mr. Bradford was just leaving the hotel, but that he would call him. When Mr. Bradford Came to the ’phone, Sar- gent told him not to buy the stock, that the ore liad run out, and that the men were onlv trying to sell out so that they wouldn’t lose anything. That obstinate gentleman wouldn't believe what the young overseer said at first, but he finally promised to delay the matter until after he had seen Sargent. That evening Sargent went to the hotel and was shown directIv to Mr. Bradford's rooms. Mr. Bradford.” began Sargent, I am aware that I have nothing to offer you as proof of what I say. but I shall have to ask you to accept my word. Of course I shall not lose anything if you buy that stock; in fact. I shall profit, for 1 own a large number of shares in the mine myself— property that has recently been left me by be- quest of a friend. Oh. is that so?” answered Mr. Bradford. “It certainlv seems as if what vou sav is true, but voit SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 239 know I have always trusted those men. The mine looked good to me, too. All the rock that you saw wasn’t good ore, Mr. I Bradford. You see. I had pretty thorough courses in mining engineering in some of our Eastern schools, and now I can easily tell a good mine from a poor one.” I am beginning to believe what you say. for I can see now why they were so anxious to sell,” said the older gentleman. And. indeed, before they finished talking, he did believe it. and when Sargent left. Mr. Bradford had admitted his indebtedness to his ward’s future husband, for such he was to be. After all. W illiams found out that going to Missouri did change Elaine’s name. Suckers Carl M. flDiller, X.f 'll : 7T-( T was a cold, damp morning such as occasionally surprises us even in the Gwm midst of August, when we were gathered about the huge fireplace of one of those old New Hampshire farmhouses which, though too often sadly devastated by time and neglect, can scarcely be equaled elsewhere for comfort and good cheer. The corn had been popped, the stories had gone their rounds, and the conversation was beginning to lag. when suddenly our host, a genial and pros- perous farmer, broke the silence with a familiar chuckle which immediately riveted on him the at- tention of us all. Have I ever told you of the first and only time I wilfully transgressed the laws of this country?” he asked with an unmistakable twinkle in his eye which served to light up his otherwise grave and repentant countenance. ()n being answered in the negative, he began his confession somewhat as follows:— From my various and sundry uncles, of which I had fully my share thirty or thirty-five years ago, there was one. Ebenezcr Kimball, commonly known throughout the surrounding country as ‘I’nclc Eb,” whom I have never really been able to fathom. Quick and ingenious, but sullen and bigoted, he had been bitterly opposed to the state’s making any restrictions for the protection of those fish the taking of which was his favorite pastime, and even after the hated laws had been passed, lie was one of the very few who notoriously defied them. Knowing him as I did, therefore. I was not much surprised when one afternoon, late in August, he invited me to accompany him the next morning in quest of that fish which, in his estima- tion. surpassed all others, not only on account of its size and gameness, but also for its delicious flavor, the lake trout. Although 1 was well aware that the law had gone ‘on’ several weeks before. I was only a youngster and perfectly willing to leave all scruples as well as fines to my ciders, and accordingly eagerly accepted his invitation. lie left the farm toward evening, and it was not until bright and early the next morning that he roused me with his cheery whistle, and stalked up the lane carrying his tackle and a couple of burlap bags, such as arc commonly used in the country for fish of all descriptions. ()nc was partially filled with something, the identity of which all my efforts failed to discover despite mv youthful curiosity. While making our way toward the lake through the tall grass reeking with the morn- ing dew. I’nele Eb explained to me the primitive methods then in use among the farmers for taking these monsters of the lake. A stout cotton line was employed without a rod of anv kind. To this was attached a heavy sinker, weighing from three to eight ounces according to the depth of the water. Several feet from this was the hook, on which a struggling minnow was impaled. This and a stout gaff (which, by the wav. was usually home made) was the sum total of the tackle which the country people use, and with success, to this day. 'I he sinker is dragged along the bottom, and the attention of the trout, lying deep in the water, is attracted by the wounded minnow, for this monarch of the lake, like the king of beasts, pre- fers to prey on that which is weak and defenceless. It was a capital day for fishing, and propelled by the powerful strokes of Uncle Eb. our boat 240 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR soon reached a large cove, in which, if report were true, a great many fish had been caught during the recent season, and if gossip whispered aright, since then. It was agreed that for a while I should take the line while my more experienced uncle rowed with that slow and rhythmic stroke which alone can bring success in trolling. This rowing back and forth had continued for some time when suddenly there was a pull on my line very different from the frequent jerks of the sinker on the bottom. It was quick and sharp, and I knew instinctively that the longed-for strike had come. Uncle Kb recognized the fact at almost the same instant, and exclaimed in a low. excited tone: ‘Sam. you’ve got a bite! He’s hooked good, too. Look out! lie's coming up and your line is slack. Pull in for all vou’rc worth. There, that's better: keep it taut now.’ ‘I obeyed as best I could, but the fish was a large one. and again and again I had to let out the line so fast that I could scarcely regain pos- session of it when the monster turned on his trail and dashed for the surface. More than once the line slacked, and. as Uncle Kb said, if the hook hadn’t been fastened somewhere down in his tail and if the cord hadn’t been so tough, one or the other would certainly have given way when the line again drew taut with a twang. Gradually, however, the fish tired, and at last, thoroughly subdued, was drawn within reach of Uncle Kb’s unerring gaff. One stroke only, and he who but fifteen minutes before was ranging that mysteri- ous region beneath the calm waters of the lake was flopping in the boat destined to act in the same capacitv toward us that he had intended the minnow to act toward himself. That was the beginning of some of the rarest sport 1 ever enjoyed. Part of the time I rowed for L’ncle Kb and then again he rowed while I took the line. Kish after fish had been caught, when suddenly, while we were engrossed in our sport, Uncle Kb leaped up with an exclamation of dis- gust and pointed to a boat just entering the oppo- site side of the cove. “ ‘It’s the warden! Cut your line, quick, Sam. Grab that extra pair of oars, and pull for all you’re worth. Perhaps we can get away yet without his seeing us. If not-------.’ but here his voice died away and turning the bow of the boat toward the mouth of the cove, he gave his whole attention to putting as much speed into the clumsv craft as possible. Hut his hope was vain, for the warden with his deputy had already sighted us and was in full pursuit. They gained rapidly, and at last Uncle Kb said: ‘Sam, it’s no use and it’s lucky for us I didn’t trust everything to the speed of this water-logged tub. That bag,’ pointing to the one which had so roused my curiosity, ‘is full of suckers. We’ll plan to reach the shore jest a few seconds afore the warden. I’ll jump out with this here bag an’ they’ll foller me in full chase. I used ter be able to run. and if I can’t lead that Jack Potter and his worthless boss a pretty chase afore ! show ’em the suckers. I miss my guess. Whew! won’t they be mad! Sam, it’s up to you to make voursclf scarce with them ’air trout afore they git back or I’m very much afraid they won’t treat you so terribly respectful! Meanwhile. I guess ye’d better be puttin’ the fish in this here locker under the back seat. Do ye see?” “I answered in the affirmative, and started tc put the bag in its hiding place when suddenly the warden hailed us. “ ‘Stop that ’air boat naow or it’ll be all the worse for ye.’ Uncle Kb made no answer, but headed for the shore. Again the warden shouted: ‘I’ve got a shooiin’ iron here and ye better slow up jest about as quick as ye know how.’ Hut we had nearly reached the shore, and Uncle Kb rowed on with a grunt to the effect that he didn’t dare fire. “A shot rang out and the bullet whistled over our heads just as I shoved the heavy bag into the locker and bolted the door. A second later and our keel grated on the ground. Uncle Kb leaped out with the bag, and darted into the woods. A solitary shot followed him without effect, and a few seconds later the officers landed, and with scaredv a glance iti my direction set out in chase of my luckless uncle. As soon as thev were out of sight I again leaped into the boat and made the best of my way back to our landing place. Once there, it was only a matter of a few moments to take out the bag and to start on the run for home. W hen safely beyond pursuit, breathing a sigh of relief. I sank down beneath a shady oak and ven- tured to peep at our well-earned catch. “The bag was full of suckers! I must have put the wrong sack in the locker, and Uncle Kb liad the trout! It was several weeks before I again saw my ill- fated uncle, and then, in answer to mv anxious in- quiries. he only shook his head, gazed sorrow- fully at his purse and said: ‘Sam. it’ll be a long time afore I take you fishitv again.’ “And it was.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 241 (Sranbma’s 5ton 36 ?

Then, setting the candle carefully down, he picked up the Blacfe, )£., '10 little case and examined it. At first he could not open it. but finally touched the right spring, and the case flew open. There, surrounded by a row of little pearls, was the hand-painted miniature of a young girl. The face was rather long, but of good coloring, the mouth firm, vet sweet; two thick braids of dark brown hair were wound around her head, and her clear gray eves gazed thoughtfully, almost reproachfully, upon him who dared even to touch her picture. “The burglar looked long and earnestly at the picture; then he quickly shut the cover and slipping the case into his pocket, moved quietly to the window and was gone in the darkness. “I sat still for a few minutes, dreading lest he should come back, but finallv I found courage enough to get up and light the gas.

The first always came on Monday: the second always on Friday. This program had been carried out with- out fail ever since the beginning, almost a year ago. For Durbin had been presented to Clarice the night after the final Vale-Harvard game of the year before. Clarice was an avowed baseball enthusiast. Durbin had pitched the winning game of last year's series with Harvard. That feat had effected the capture of Clarice, who had directly set about obtaining the same issue over I )urbin. To-night Durbin would almost have given his chances f getting a diploma at the end of the month to escape seeing Clarice, and those chances were by no means slim, either (which latter fact lie knew he owed to Clarice). For some generally unknown, but. as Durbin thought, wholly sufficient reason, he had re- solved not to play in the game at Xew York the following Saturday.—the game with Harvard, which would not onlv decide the outcome of the series, but would fix the intercollegiate champion- ship. Xaturally. having arrived at this determina- tion. which had not yet been made public, and which was not going to be explained—certainly not to Clarice—lie quaked at facing her justified re- sentment. I lowever. within twentv minutes he was seated in Clarice’s front parlor, and decidedly ill at ease. To-night the observing eyes of Clarice saw im- mediately that something had gone wrong with liim. Mow did practice go this afternoon?” she asked. John started. All right. he answered. Say.” he con- tinued slowly. I’ve about decided to get two tickets for Saturday’s game.” She misconstrued his meaning. Rut. John. she remonstrated, didn't I ex- plain to you that mother does not care to go? It's not for your mother. responded Durbin, somewhat heatedly. It’s for me.” The statement rather dazed Clarice—for a min- ute, then she thought she understood. Hut -aren’t you going to pitch? lolm! You haven't fallen below in your studies, have you?” She thought she had struck the truth, and di- rectly became hysterical, giving Durbin an oppor- tunity to reflect, even while he appeared solicitous. For John, the company of Clarice, the base- ball-wise. was immeasurably preferable to three- hour bouts with calculus. Clarice, who never in- sisted on talking nonsensical rot. but conversed on topics where John could “get somewhere” without cultivating intimacy with books on How to Talk and What to Say” or Successful Re- partee —some such title anyway. [ohn threw the tiling into the ash barrel after he had recited a half of the book to a ridiculously unappreciative Clarice one evening. When lie had stopped, but of breath, Clarice had looked at him in disap- pointed amazement. I didn’t think it of you,” she had said. You got it in Cray’s bookstore, down on the corner, didn’t you? I thought so. Well, never mind. T shouldn't have expected you to have been wholly different from the rest. Is your wonderful catcher from last vear’s freshman team turning out well ?” Clarice knew of John’s preference for her so- ciety, and it may have been she cared more for his baseball prowess, at first, than for him. but. how- ever that may be, she had absolutelv refused to see him at her home more than two nights a week. Clarice knew the wisdom of John Durbin, pitcher, keeping a good scholarship. Xow was it any wonder that she should become hvsterical. when the very thing she had safeguarded against had apparently come to pass? John Durbin was in a dilemma. He had, in- deed. been about to plead low standing in the classroom as an excuse for quitting the team and failing to pitch against Harvard the following Saturday, but here he had been anticipated in his explanation, and not only that, but the foolish lit- tle thing had had to fly into hysterics. Xow SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 243 wasn’t that a silly thing to do? John thought it was. “Hang it!” lie exclaimed sttppressedly. “I'll just have t tell her the truth now. or—or—” His gaze fell again on the little bodv of Clarice, still sobbing on the divan. A moment he looked. Then— “Who'd ever have thought she'd fly into a miniature fit. and without my saying a word!” As he grasped the immense injustice of the thing, he sat up straighter in his chair, and stared almost resentfully at the figure of Clarice, some- what disheveled. She was regaining a degree of calmness, and. slumped down at full length in the midst of the cushions on the divan, she stared at John with a look full of pained sorrow. The pair presented a comical picture as they gazed at each other, one perplexed, resentful ; the other just sorrowful. It was Clarice, the usually resourceful Clarice, who spoke first. “John, say you didn’t!” she implored. “Of course I didn’t! snapped John. Oh. you didn’t?” Clarice’s manner changed instantly. Her voice expressed mild curiosity. “Perhaps you will tell me what dire .misfortune has befallen you to prevent your pitching the final game of the year.” Her tone was cuttingly sweet. Clarice was herself again. Xow that the time had arrived, John, as he called to mind the true reason, which he had con- sidered sufficient cause to justify his dropping barely a week before the big game with Harvard, was thunderstruck. It seemed pitifully weak and even absurdly silly. He dreaded unspeakably the caustic sarcasm of Clarice. He felt that she would laugh him into promising to cast aside his resolution and plav in Xew York Satur- day. Well, what was the use in telling her, any- way? “Hang it!” he muttered, then fell silent again. What was that?” murmured Clarice. Her tone had a dangerous rising inflection. Durbin recognized its import with increasing dread. Then lie became angry. He knew he was de- feated. Xcver mind what it was!” he stormed. “It should be enough for you that I am going to pitch Saturdav!” Clarice smiled. John Durbin, over by the third-base bleachers, was warming up with Filson, his catcher. Filson, who had caught John from the time when they had been the freshman battery, laughed with satisfaction as the sharp shoots shot into his mitt with a speed which lifted him up on his toes. You're in fine shape to-day. John,” he said. “Let’s quit for a while.” The polo grounds were by now filled with an extremely partisan assemble. The mass of dark clouds, which in the morning had gathered threateningly, had passed a wav oceanward, leav- ing a sun so hot that the numerous cheer leaders had already discarded collars and ties. Stewart, the Yale shortstop and captain, was standing at one of the entrances, talking with a prosperous-appearing man. whom Durbin, watch- ing. knew to be his father. A gong pealed, and the Harvard players ran in from the diamond. It was time for the game to begin. Stewart, catching the eye of the umpire, who beckoned to him. shook hands with his father, and ran off to join the umpire and the Harvard captain. A moment later he walked rapidlv over to the bench. W e lost. he said. “They gave us our ins. From the Harvard stands ripped forth cheer after cheer, as the Crimson team ran to their po- sitions on the diamond.

Stearns, swinging at the first ball, missed cleanly. The Harvard cheer- leaders swung their arms, and the Harvard stands replied. While the cheers were vet sounding, Rand pitched again.

Sheppard struck out. and Duffv lifted a. high tiv to centre-field. The coach whispered final instructions to Dur- bin. who rose from the bench. Remember what I told vou about that new man. Porter,” he said. “A straight ball across his shoulders or an out-curve started at him and breaking over the plate will get him.” Durbin nodded, and went to his position. The Yale stands broke out into booming cheers of satisfaction, as it was seen that his first ball was a strike. He followed it up with another. The next was a foul tip. which the catcher held. One out! The next man hit a screeching liner to Burns, on third, which he pulled down with one hand. The next was Porter, and he took his position confidently. Durbin had opposed every mem- ber of the team but him. In the two pre- ceding games of the year Porter had been unable to play, and so Durbin regarded him as an un- known. However. Durbin lost no time in pitch- ing. rite first ball he started -traight at Porter, who did not move. The ball broke outward and down- 244 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ward, and Porter swung.—but he swung over the ball, just touching it. and dropping it. squirming and twisting, in from- of the plate. Eilson caught it up and snapped it to first, the ball beating the runner bv a yard. Xo runs had been scored by either side. So it went on. Both Durbin and Rand were complete masters, and although Rand was a lit- tle lacking in control. Vale could not advance a man past second—until the sixth! The sixth was fatal to both sides. In the first half, Hums started off with a neat single to right. Sheppard laid down a pretty bunt, and when Rand overthrew second in trying to get Hums. Sheppard took second and Burns third. Rand passed Duffy, leaving three on base with none out. This distinctly left it up to Cap- tain Stewart, who followed. He set tlie crowd of Yale partisans wild with joy by contributing a smashing two-bagger which brought in two runs and left Duffy on third and himself on second. First-Baseman Carter, next on the batting order, lifted a long, low tty which the Harvard fielder pulled down by a sensational leap. Before he could recover in time to return the ball to the plate. Duffy had scored. Vale was jubilant. This ended the scoring, for Eilson struck out. and, although Durbin got a base on balls. Rhilbrook, at the foot of the batting list, sent up a foul fly which the Harvard third-baseman captured with ease. Vale had scored three runs, and Durbin felt that this would be enough to win. He felt su- premely confident, and looking at the mass of faces in the pavilion, he caught the eye of a girl in blue, who waved a blue flag. Porter was at the bat. and winding up swiftly, Durbin shot in a close, straight ball across the shoulders. Porter let it go by. One strike. The next was an out-curve which broke wide of the plate. One ball. Another out-curve, which Porter passed by. was called a strike. Durbin, growing over-confident, sent one squarely over tlie middle of the plate, waist high. Porter swung his bat sharply around and met the ball fairly, sending it speeding like a bullet directly at the pitcher. With the quick warning of instinct, Dur- bin stooped like a flash, raising his arms to pro- tect his face. However, he was not quite quick enough, for the ball struck him squarely on the elbow, and Durbin sank, fainting, to the ground. The sickening thud was heard plainly all over the field, and when Durbin was seen to fall, a doctor hurried down out of the stand. The umpire raised his hand for time. Then the immense throng, looking on in sus- pense. saw the doctor rise from his. hurried ex- amination: saw him sav a few words rapidly; and saw the unconscious figure of Durbin picked up with extreme gentleness by three of his fellow- players and borne to the clubhouse. Then the new pitcher for Vale was announced, and the game went on. A half hour later, in the ninth district hospital, Clarice was in conference with the head surgeon. The examination will take place at once.' the surgeon said. I fear that the bone may be badly splintered, or what is worse, that the arm is partially paralyzed. In that case, you understand, lie may never be able to use that arm again.” Prom an inner room came a low moan, and the surgeon nodded to Clarice, who rose and went in. Durbin lay on a cot, his face drawn with suffering, lie motioned to Clarice to come up close, closer. Then he began and talked steadilv, but with effort. “Clarice.” he said, you heard what he said, that I might never be able to use my arm again?” Clarice nodded assent. “Well.” he went on, “doesn't it make any difference to you?” “Why. what do you mean. John? asked Clarice. “Clarice, a week ago to-night I had a dream. I seemed to see you just before I started for a ball game. 1 remember you seemed sure I’d win. I don't remember any of the game at all. but the next scene I seemed to be in the hospital. I re- member the doctor told me 1 would be a cripple for life. You did not come to see me. When I recovered I was a cripple, and you would not recognize me when we met, onlv stare at me with a cold look in your eyes. Clarice, that dream took an awful hold on me. 1 brooded over it and decided not to plav to-day. But I did. and part of the dream seems to have come true. Oh. Clarice! say that the other part was wrong! Say you won't desert me!” Xo, John. I won’t. promised Clarice, gently. “Xever—forever? pleaded Durbin. Xever. forever! she replied. That night, after the examination, Clarice re- turned to the hospital. A nurse met her at the entrance, and conducted her straight to the room where Durbin was sitting in a high-backed chair, his arm in a sling, reading the baseball extra. Yale had lost, four to three in ten innings, but neither Durbin nor Clarice greatlv cared. Dur- bin greeted her with a veil. There’s nothing the matter with mv arm ex- cept an ordinary fracture!” he said. “It'll be all right in a month! Clarice didn't say much, but her eyes were shining. Suddenly Durbin held the paper up. Vale lost. he said, but I won! I won vou!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 215 B DBUgbtefc IRomancc fcascl 1L XTbompson, '10 OOI) heavens, what have I done!” was the half-whispered exclamation of a young man, as he threw himself mJacJLjf recklcsslv into a comfortable rock- —'Ll ing-chair in his room. “Here’s a pretty fix. Ry the shades of Apollo, I'm all through with practical joking. Jack Morse s very much disturbed state of mind was due to an occurrence of that afternoon while he and his sister Grace were returning from town on a badly-crowded street car. lack, who on every occasion seemed possessed with a desire to torment his sister, had seized the opportunity to remove her purse from the pocket of her coat, in- tending to tease her later on when she discovered her loss. On their arrival at home, however, he found to 4iis horror, that he had evidently put his hand into the wrong pocket, not that of his sister at all. Well, I guess I’ll have a look at the stolen property,” Jack continued, as he drew from his pocket a small green leather purse. Lord, but I feel creepy. W hew! What’s this? Two twen- ties and three fives—fifty-five dollars. Say, Jack, old hoy. you’re in for it. Stop! Here's a hit of paper with a name and address on it. too. Not as had luck as I thought, old chap. Taking the hit of paper from the purse, he read in a whisper: Miss Rcatrice White. vMio Fifth avenue.” “I Beatrice. Real rice. ’ he mused dreamily. Sud- denly he started to his feet. Yes, he was sure he had heard the white-haired gentleman address his charming companion in the car as Rcatricc.” For several weeks Jack had secretly admired a young woman whom he had often seen driving on Fifth avenue, and this particular young lady had been one of the passengers on the crowded street car that same afternoon. As Jack was an ex- ceedingly fine-appearing young man. he became jubilant at the thought of a romantic meeting with the lady of his dreams which might possibly re- sult from this peculiar state of affairs. That night Jack awoke several times, only to find himself muttering over and over again the fateful name. Bright and early the following morning he started forth in quest of the much- desired owner of the purse. As he talked past the many splendid residences on the avenue, his thoughts turned once more to the ladv of his dreams. In fancy, he saw her as she would un- doubtedly receive him in her morning gown of palest blue, for how wonderfully well blue would harmonize with the golden-brown of her hair. What a charming person she appeared to be in her carriage, and how much more fascinating she must be in her home! While Jack reflected thus. Number ap- peared in view. It was a fine imposing mansion, one of the largest on the avenue. With a catch in his breath and a straightening of his shoulders, he mounted the broad granite steps leading to the main entrance. Then pressing the electric but- ton. he waited with fast-beating heart until the door opened and there stood a butler, the pomp and ceremony of whom was hardly surpassed by that of Solomon, himself. ' Is Miss Reatrice White at home?” ventured Jack, somewhat awed by the haughty demeanor of the gentleman who stood between him and his adored one. Rear door, if you please,” replied the butler, with a cold stare. With shaking knees the crest-fallen lack ap- proached the rear entrance. Hardly knowing what to do next, he drew the purse from his pocket, and then knocked timidly at the door. After some little time, during which lack was in a state of mental agony, the door opened, and a tall negress appeared before his bewildered eyes. “Is Miss Rcatricc-----” Yas. salt, you sholv are de thief what done took 111a purse,” interposed the negress, shaking her fist violently at Jack and continuing almost in the same breath: I wits spicious of you from de fust.

Jack, still standing dumfounded with the purse in his hand, tried t«� stammer forth an explana- tion. but the enraged negress, ignoring all at- tempts at redress, seized the purse from his hand, and hastily retreated to her kitchen domain. Jack paused for an instant, then turned and fled, murmuring as he did so: Well. I’ll be hanged. 246 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR H Couple of Snobs .16v? Cecil ID. Barlow, IE., '10 XL afternoon early in May LJanscomb and I held a council of war to de- cide what was to be done. hitch, with whom we shared our rooms, was getting more unbearable every day. He had held the approval of the entire school ever since the dav lie entered, and now lie bade fair to become a snob. In every particular but this one he was an admirable fel- low. but even I. his closest friend, had to admit that this spoiled him. 11 is latest outbreak had been to refuse to enter our studv while Howard, a friend of Hanscomb’s, was there.—hence the council of war. I vote to give him a good call-down. said llanscomb. All right. I assented. “You give it to him. Xot on your life! You can talk twice as fast as I can; do it yourself. I have it. said llanscomb, “vou talk until you’re tired, and then I’ll pitch in. Xow, what shall we say?” But just then the object of our conversation en- tered. swinging a tennis racket jauntily. As soon as he was fairly in the room I started in: Sec here. Fitch, we want to know why you were so stuffy with young Howard this morning. He hasn’t committed murder or anything,so why can’t vou be civil to him? He is a friend of ours, and it was a downright insult for you to walk into the room and out again without a word like that, and we------” “Forget it. broke in I’itch. I don’t have to associate with anyone I don’t want to. do I? Howard is all right in his way. of course, but—oh, well!—I don’t care much for the set he goes around with, and---- “Well, vou arc a snob! said llanscomb. hotly. “You’ll queer yourself with the entire school.” I supplemented. 1 see. said Fitch, loftily, vou want me to be more democratic, eh? Associate with the masses, so to speak: fraternize with the lowly, as it were. Don’t speak to him when he’s in that sarcastic mood. growled llanscomb. Sarcastic? Xot at all, said hitch. 1 was seriously considering the possibility of becoming a Socialist. What have you chaps been reading? Tolstoi? I suppose you would like me to reform, would you?” We would! Very well. Just to please vou, I am about to become most democratic. I hope you will appre- ciate the change. Well, so long. I guess I’ll go down to the village and start some acquaint- ances down there: some of those ‘rubes’ aren’t half bad when they get the havseed brushed off. With this he departed, leaving us almost speech- less. Xow there was an enmity of the deadliest sort between the boys of the academy and those of the village, and for one of our fellows to speak to one of the village boys was unheard of. Do you suppose he will? asked llanscomb. Xo. I answered, he was just fooling. Let him alone, and he’ll be all right. hitch returned a few hours later, and volunteer- ing no information, he was asked no questions; besides, another matter was occupying our atten- tion. llanscomb had received word by the even- ing mail that Harold Armstrong, the son of one of Mr. Ilanscomb’s closest friends, was to come to Fen-mere in time for the Senior‘prom.’and was going to bring his sister. Both llanscomb and T had met Miss Armstrong, but her brother Harold we had never seen. The news was good to llanscomb and me for various reasons, and we hastened to communicate it to Fitch. I suppose this fellow has lots of money? said hitch, questioning!} . “Loads of it. we responded. His father’s made of it. The new Fitch shook his head sadlv. “Proba- bly a bloated aristocrat, trampling down the poor and needy beneath his feet.” he mused. Xow I approve of the deserving people having a full share of this world’s go---- Why. you chump! we shouted. Your own father is worth a couple of million himself.” ‘1 know. he said, but I am going to speak to him about it when I get home. 1 hope to reform him. and-----’’ See here. said llanscomb. You’re putting this on: you can’t fool us. and you had better stop it. Why, exclaimed Fitch, innocently, it was you fellows that put me up to it. and now you are SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 247 getting stuffy over it. I ecrtainlv shan't stop. Not a bit of it And with that he went to bed. Thank goodness, it’s only talk! said Ilans- comb. as we followed Fitch to bed. 3 s Next afternoon Hanscomb and I strolled down to baseball practice. We met Howard, who was returning for a late recitation. You fellows want to hurry up, ' he said, his face covered with a broad grin, and see what’s down at the field.” What’s up? we cried in unison. “Wait until you get there. he responded. I wouldn’t for worlds spoil it by telling about it. It's beyond my poor, mean powers of descrip- tion. He bowed low and passed on. We hurried to the field, consumed with curi- osity. The field was dotted with the usual knots of loungess. but it seemed as if an unusual ex- citement pervaded the atmosphere. Year the catcher's box was an amazing sight.— Fitch irre- proachably dressed and with him a verv countri- fied-looking fellow, whose most conspicuous arti- cles of attire were a pair of overalls and an im- mense straw hat. entirely concealing his face. Fitch had his arm linked fraternally through the other's and was talking to him earnestly. The only sign of comprehension evinced by the rube was to chew more vigorously than ever a large straw which projected even beneath the rim of his immense hat. I don't know what mis- guided thought entered our heads at the same moment, but we passed Fitch without speaking, and as we passed we just heard Fitch informing his friend in a confidential, yet audible, tone of voice that There go the two biggest snobs in the school. To say that we were angry would be expressing it mildly. There is a limit to everything. ejaculated Hanscomb. and I guess Fitch has reached his. We'll let him alone. I said, and he’ll gel over it. lie’s just doing it to annov us. And we re- turned to our room to study for the fast-ap- proaching finals. I11 about an hour Fitch returned, looking very well pleased with himself. Hello, crowd ’ he said affablv. No answer. Oh! going to get sore, are vou? Don't sec what you've got against my friend. Here Hanscomb threw a sofa pillow at him. Fitch sat down. Now. fellows. he began, in a well-imitated tone of explanation. He's really no end of 1 good fellow. Why. he can read and write, and I’m thinking of giving him mv invitation to the Senior prom, lie's got an awfully cute sister, too, he added, reflectively. This was too much for us. We rose simulta- neously. You're a big chump! I shouted. You'll ruin yourself forever in this school! put in Hanscomb. All right. he said, with a humility unusual for him. only I'm afraid you fellows are getting to be snobs, and. he turned impressively, snob- bishness is a deplorable vice. He retreated amidst a fusilade of books and bric-a-brac. Thereafter we saw Fitch manv times with his new-found friend: in fact, he seemed to take pleas- ure in parading him before us. Not a baseball game passed but that the two were there in a conspicuous place, and one dav hitch was seen showing his friend the school buildings and point- ing out all the spots of interest. Things of greater importance occupied our minds. The close of the year was near, and with it final ex- aminations. the honor list. and the Senior ‘prom.’ On the day of the Senior ‘prom.’ we fellows started to dress at about four o’clock (it was so seldom that any visitors came to the school that we had gotten out of the habit of dressing up), and what with the confusion in the dormitories and the borrowing of ties and gloves, it is a wonder that anyone was ready even then. I sat in our room fully dressed, waiting for Hanscomb, who had gone to the railroad station to meet the Arm- strongs. W hen he did arrive he was alone and very hot and cross. Waited two trains for ’em, he snapped, and I guess they're not coming now. That puts me in a bad mess, too, because I planned to have at least six dances. Huh! you’re not the only one there. I said. Let's go down anyway. No good moping around here while the other fellows are getting their orders filled. We had just entered the hall when we saw a group of three approaching us —a girl with a boy on each side of her. One of the bovs was Fitch, and the other his village friend, hardly recogniz- able in his evening dress. As the group drew nearer we saw that the girl was Miss Armstrong, hitch turned to us as we stood there speechless. 248 SOMERVILLE; HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “I wish to make you acquainted with Miss Armstrong and her brother, Mr. Armstrong,” he said. The girl smiled at our evident amazement, and the group passed on. As it did so we heard snatches of hitch's conversation: ‘‘Dressed like a farmer — fooled them completely — had the whole school going —“a couple of snobs.” And we heard the girl’s silvery laugh rise above the strains of the first dance. Hieter J6v? Sails G. ibawes, X., TO A! say. ma! Peter's fell into the waterin’ trough again,” came in a shrill voice up the back stairs. Well, I suppose the next thing to do is to pull him out, isn't it? re- plied ma. I did. but he ain’t breathed since; and I guess he’s dead sure this time.” I never did see the like of that one-legged rooster afore, alers gettin’ drownded or somethin' eq’ally bad; land o’ liberty, he's got as many lives as half a dozen cats!” ejaculated Mrs. Simpson. Jim, go see if you can’t bring him to again.” Peter was a small rooster, the pet of the family. When a little fellow he lost one of his legs, and had been in trouble constantly afterwards. A moment later Jim returned with a sad face, there ain't no use fussin’ with that Pete, ma, ’cause lie’s clean gone. I’ve swung him by his leg. and even his tail, but it didn’t do no good.” Well, go bury him then, child; he won’t do no good lyin' around dead.” Jim hesitated a moment before going. “Ma,” he suggested, you might just take a look at him before I begin the funeral preparations, to make sure he ain’t foolin’ us.” Mrs. Simpson stepped out into the door yard and gazed at the lifeless Peter, who was placed carefully on the top of the wood pile with his one leg dangling weirdlv over the side. “Oh, land. yes. lie’s as dead as Mike Murphy’s old sow that was kilt last week fer sassage.” She returned to the house and began peeling potatoes for dinner. Jim went in also and hunted around for his shovel. When this was finally se- cured. he decided he wanted a box in which to place the dilapidated Peter. His mother went into the attic and came forth a few minutes later armed with a shoe and soap box. “'fake your pick of the two,” she said. Jim looked askance at both, and replied slowly: “Seems as if those weren’t respectful somehow, ma. I low’d you like to be buried in a box with ‘Sapolio’ written all over the outside?” Well, good land, child. I ain’t a rooster; folks don’t generally treat their poultry as if they was part of the family.” “But he is one of the family, ma; we’ve had him four years. For goodness’ sakes, Jim, what’s the matter with that shoe box? That ain’t no ordinary box, child; why. my weddin’ slippers come in that, and here I have kep’ it goin’ on nigh fourteen years. See, it’s got ‘qualitv on the side. I’m sure there ain’t no better word to express Peter’s life and characteristics.” But this did not increase the value of the box to Jim. Ilis mother, seeing that he was still dis- satisfied. spoke rather impatiently: Land sakes, child, there’s a lard pail upstairs. If that’ll 5juit you, go fetch it and get that rooster under the sod afore night comes.” The tears came to Jim’s eyes. “You know, ma. Pete wouldn’t choose no lard pail for his coffin,” he replied between his sobs. “There, there, Jim,” said his mother, soothingly, take any box in the house that will suit you.” Jim’s face began to brighten, and a moment later he cried out happily to his mother: Oh, mat can 1 use that candy box that pa brought to us last Christmas? It’s got lace paper in it. and it’ll be real solemn like to cover him up with that after the funeral is over.” Yes. you can have it. if you’re dead set on buryin’ that good-for-nothing bird in such royal style.” Jim’s happiness was complete. lie ran up to his mother's bedroom, found the box. and re- turned in less than a minute. Then, grabbing his shovel, he hastily made his way out to the wood- pile. Mrs. Simpson had gone upstairs. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice calling excitcdlv up the back stairs: Ma! say. ma!” “Good land! I suppose it’s up to me to give a prayer, she said to herself. “I s’pose we'll have to call in Deacon Jones afore that young one will be happy.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 249 Before Mrs. Simpson had time enough to get down stairs Jim came up to meet her two steps at a time, breathless and pale, gasping: Ma, he’s gone.” Gone? Why. child, where could he have gone to? Most likely the cat’s made a meal of him: now you won’t need that confectionery box, and I can keej) it for something more superior.” Jim burst into tears, exclaiming between his sobs: Oh! oh! I was going to have that funeral so solemn and up-to-date, patterned after the Widder Smith’s, with flowers and singin' and prayin’ and all them high-flown trimmin's. Well. Jim, I’m sorry. comforted his mother, but there ain’t no loss without some small gain, so I’ve heard tell. Perhaps that cat will get a meal for once that'll fill her stomach, and that would be the most unheard of,—there, child, if you're going to stand and bawl like that just move over on to this rug. Your father says that one spots with dampness, and 1 wouldn’t have a blem- ish on one of them roses tor anything. Suddenly a triumphant crowing sounded out- side the window. Jim and his mother both ran and looked out. There was onlv one rooster that ever crowed like that. There stood Peter on his one leg. with head cocked on one side, looking mischievously up at the house. Jim gazed with all his eyes, moutn wide open. Mrs. Simpson was the first to speak. Good land, child.” she exclaimed, don’t stand there, with your jaws bangin' apart catchin’ flies; go get that critter something to eat afore he dies again.

Still talking to himself, the jockey rubbed his hands over the head and neck of the horse, a beautiful black animal, noted among men who knew him as a creature of wonderful intelligence as well as of treacherous temper. The race began. A white marc had the pole; then in order came the tall, graceful “Lcoti, two nervous young horses, the black “Raven. and in the last place, a sober, plodding, businesslike ani- mal. known by the initiated to be far from least, though last in position. The line moved jerkilv forward. The young horses were hard to hold, and both passed under the wire before the white mare. The gong struck and jangled impatiently until the horses were brought back to place. A second time they were recalled, but on the third trial, the pole-horse succeeded in keeping her place, and they were off. At the quarter mark, the white mare and the twer young horses were trotting neck and neck, then followed Raven, Lcoti. and. several paces be- hind. the sixth. At the half, the mare had dropped back. At the three-quarters. Raven” and one of the colts led, Lcoti” was third, and the other three followed close together.

Poor Raven” could not understand ; he had worked so hard to win first place, and he thought, no doubt, that his rider had made some mistake. The half was past: at the three-quarters the home-stretch would begin, and excitement was tense. Bernard’s arms were numb with the exertion of holding the great black horse. Raven’s” eyes began to show their wicked light, and his cars lay close to his neck. He was now only in third place; what a disgrace for a horse like him! No one quite knew how the accident occurred. There was a flash of red and a wild whinny. The black horse broke past the two in front of him. 250 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR and led them under the wire.

We should have to send a line of hose right through that wall of flame and fight it from the inside. Even 'Dare-devil Joe' wouldn't take that order as a welcome birthday present. There is nothing in there now but the three horses, and a human life is worth more than theirs. Do the best you can from here. boys. We won't give up vet ’ “Where’s Fred? cried a voice, suddenly. “He went in there just before the south wall blazed up. and hasn't come out. What will his wife----- “Give me the hose. interrupted the strong, calm voice of the man the chief had affectionately called Dare-devil Joe. Seizing the end of a line of hose, he sprang upon the back of a noble black horse that had been previouslv brought out of the stable, but that could not be induced to leave the scene. The animal had on neither sad- dle nor bridle, but the mere touch of the man's hand guided him. A stream of water was turned upon the rescuers, drenching both man and horse, and then every person in the crowd held his breath as the beautiful creature dashed gallantly through the flame. Safe! cried Joe. after a moment of suspense. “Xow for the fellow. I'll have him in a jiffy. Behind the seething flames he groped about until he found the unconscious form of I-rcd Crawford, lving just out of reach of the heels of the horses lie had vainlv tried to save. The fireman dragged his burden to the side of the terrified black horse, after much difficulty bound him upon the animal's back, turned his hose upon him to protect him from the fire, and slapped the creature's steaming flank. Again the brave horse passed through the furnace, and eager hands relieved him of his burden. The one line of hose showed where to direct an- other. and under cover of the stream of water, three or four more men passed into the building. The three horses were led to safety, and at last the fire was checked. In the meantime a large group of people gathered around bred Crawford and the black horse. He is coming to. said a man bending over Fred. Brave horse! exclaimed another. Isn't that ‘Raven’? asked a third, curiously. Yes. replied a stableman.

Mercy sakes alive, you’re the trial of my life with your evcrlastin’ untidiness! Abe Skinner rose without a word of reply to his wife’s tirade, and walked slowly out to the barn. where he filled his pipe and leaned his chair back against the door, gazing absentiv down the road. A good deal of his time had been spent there of late years after his day’s work. Martha Skinner, while a good-hearted woman, had a “mind of her own and a veritable passion for cleanliness. The door knobs and furniture of the house shone with such a lustre that one hesitated to touch them; and indeed it almost seemed as if a pained look SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 25i crossed Martha's face whenever anything was dis- turbed from its accustomed place. Her husband, Abe. was a hard working farmer of an easy-going nature, who naturally liked to spend an hour or two after the day's work in a comfortable posi- tion. under the soothing influence of his pipe. Martha, however, treated any liberty taken with her precious furniture with the highest resent- ment. so Abe was fairlv driven out of the house,” as the neighbors expressed it. ()n this evening as he sat looking down the road, he suddenly saw a spectacle which caused him to spring to his feet with a shout: Look out. there! and set off at the top of his speed. Down the road came a light farm wagon, drawn by two powerful horses mad with fear, and entirely be- yond the control of the driver, who tugged in vain at their iron mouths. Dircctlv ahead was a sharp turn, which they could never take at that rate of speed. Unless they were stopped before they reached the town—well, it was not a pleasant thought. Disregarding his own safetv, Abe ran directly in front of the approaching team, seized the horses by the bridle, and. putting forth all his strength, forced them to their haunches, 'file terrible rush of the horses was checked, and the driver climbed stiffly down from the wagon. The horses stood still, their flanks quivering, but Abe lav senseless on the ground. He had been struck by one of those iron-shod hoofs, which had inflicted a deep gash on his temple. W hen he came to himself the first thing he heard was the strident tones of his wife's voice at the back door: Let me tell you one thing. Sarah lane, that if it wasn't for Abe Skinner. Ivin' in that room all bruised an’ battered up. Josh Perkins wouldn’t be alive to-day. He must ave been drunk, anyway, or he’d ’ave known better than to crack a hornet’s nest with a whip. An what’s more, you can tell Mandv Perkins so from me the next time you see her. The verv idea of a man's bein' such a fool! The rest of the conversation became inaudible to Abe, lying in the darkened chamber. Shortly after. Martha entered the room with a heightened color and briskness of movement un- wonted even with her. W hen she saw that Abe had recovered consciousness, however, her man- ner instantly changed. Tiptoeing softlv over to the bed. she readjusted his bandages slightly, and asked how he felt. Prettv well. Marthy. thank ee,” said Abe. feebly. She stood by the bedside for a moment, looking down at him. Then suddenly, she was kneeling beside the bed. her arms around his neck. ‘ He wasn't worth it. Abe. it was so brave of you. Then, with an inaudible remark about getting him some broth, she hastily left the room. To say that Abe Skinner was amazed at his wife's unaccountable conduct would be putting it mildlv. In fact, he was so taken aback that it was several moments before he could collect his scattered faculties enough to realize the great change in her attitude toward him. Then he grinned weakly as he sank back on the pillow. Well. he said to himself with whimsical humor, ‘ they say every dog has his dav. Mine was pretty long cornin', but I guess it’s got here at last. Under his wife’s fostering care. Abe improved rapidly. The blow, luckily, was onlv a glancing one. or it would doubtless have proved fatal. In a few days he was able to move about the house, but he was restless to be out and back to work, for at the time of the accident he was engaged in the spring planting, which could not be delayed. At last, one day. he was able to go down to the village on some trifling errands. He found him- self the most popular man in the countrv. Every few minutes lie was stopped by some solicitous friend, to whom the story of the rescue must be told over again. Every one inquired after his health, and expressed admiration at his grave act. As he walked home that night. Abe Skinner was a happy man. He had grown in the respect, not only of his neighbors, but of his wife. Ah. that was the point. With the sharp edge of his wife’s tongue directed elsewhere than at him. Abe felt that lie could stand almost anything. Passing through the yard and into the house, he seated himself with a sigh of content at the window. andv putting his pipe in his mouth, began feeling through his pockets for a match. Martha, com- ing in suddenly from the kitchen, held up her hands in horror at the sight. Abe Skinner, you’re not goin’ to smoke that smellv old pipe in this room! I should think—here, just look at the dirt you’ve gone an’ tracked in over my nice clean floor! Clear out of this room, now, while I clean up this mess! You ought to be ashamed. makitT me so much work. With a heavy sigh. Abe Skinner rose to his feet, and. taking his pipe, walked slowly out into the night. His dav was over. 25 2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR flUarie’s jfigbt B ? flf ar } E . iDeprelles, '12 IIILIC Frank was eating his mashed potato Marie shook her head thoughtfully at her mutton chop, and said: 'I nearly had such a fight to-day!” “A fight?” asked Frank, looking up and blinking his eyes. “A fight, Marie? Such a fight! repeated Marie, gazing at her mutton chop in a meditative manner, as though she did not know that Frank was all agog. Such a fight as I nearlv had! said she. ‘T ut with whom? demanded Frank. With whom ? A man. said Marie, still looking at her chop with pensive interest and wagging her little head. “Ah! she sighed, and she wagged her head still more. Frank following her least movement so closely with his eyes that his head wagged, too. What man? cried Frank, dropping his jaw. As if by accident, Marie looked up and stared severely at him. Frank!’’ she said, “your mouth is open. How many times----- Frank shut his mouth meekly, and waited it’, patience for further details of the fray. Will you have some more mashed potato, Frank ? she asked. “Xo. no. said Frank, tell me----” “Or another chop? Here’s such a nice little one. I say I don’t want any more. Now tell me al! about the fight. I — I don’t like to.” Win not? asked Frank. ■“Because.” “Because what? As Frank's mouth opened the second time, she gave him another look, and coldlv said: There you go again! Hang it! I can’t help it. returned Frank, “Who was the man? He—lie was a pedler, and I’ll tell you how it was. Me rang the front door bell—the impu- dence of him—and I opened the window an inch, and shouted: ‘Back door for pedlers!’ ” “Ha! said Frank. Yes.” said Marie. And he wouldn’t go?” “( h. he went. murmured Marie. “The kitchen door was locked—-Frank, you’ve no idea how an- noying these pedlers can be—and when he rapped on the kitchen door, I didn’t open it.” Ha!” said Frank. And every time he rapped on the outside of the door I rapped on the inside; and every time he rattled the door knob, I laughed. Aha! said Frank. She looked up quickly, but Frank’s mouth had not opened again. She gave him a look as if to say. ‘ Fll make you open it yet,” and continued: ■'I hen I whistled for the dog.” The dog! cried Frank. The dog. said Marie, with an air of marked complacency. “What dog? asked Frank. An imaginary dog. Ha!” said Frank. “Fido!” “Fido?” An imaginary Fido.” I la!” said Frank. ‘Here. Fido!’ I said, ‘the minute I open the door I want you to spring at this wicked pedler, but be careful and don’t let him hurt you, Fido!’ and then I barked. Again she looked up quickly, but Frank’s mouth was not open yet. She gave him a most determined look, and went on:— “So then I went to the telephone.” To the telephone!” cried Frank. Yes,” said Marie, “to the telephone for the police.” What—what telephone?” cried Frank. An imaginary telephone! cried Marie. I wound the alarm clock and set it off. and after the bell had stopped. 1 shouted: ‘Central, give me the police headquarters, quick!’ ” “Ha!” said Frank. She looked at him in vain, and continued: Then when the policeman came I let him in at the front door and took him into the kitchen.” You took the policeman-------’’ An imaginary policeman!” “Aha!” said Frank. And I said: ‘Oh. Mr. Policeman, there’s a ped- ler out there, and I want vou to arrest him!’ And then I climbed on a chair—like this—so it would sound like a tall man speaking, and. changing my voice. I said: ‘I’ll shoot him! And was lie there all the time?” asked Frank. “ ho? asked Marie, standing on the chair and watching him closely. “The pedler.” The imaginary pedler? And with a gleam of -mischief in her eyes, she sternly cried: Frank! There you go again!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 253 ■dmversal Education 36v li r. Ifoam? X. Sones, O educational system can become uni- versal if it does not include or bene- fit all classes of men and women and their life work, whether industrial or non-industrial, vocational or non- vocational. Universal education means exactly what it says—the education of all sorts of men for all sorts of purposes and in all sorts of subjects—the education which can in any way help the individual and develop the best that is in him. There are certain facts which we should have clearly in mind: (1) W e must remember that there is very little difference between industry and occu- pation, and that ninety per cent, of the people fol- low industrial pursuits and will continue to do so; (2) that all the great industries as well as other essential activities must go on in the future as in the past, even if every man in the community is a college graduate. (3) We must remember that it is for the public good that all our great in- dustries should be developed by educated men. The old apprentice system has passed away, and the teaching of industria! efficiency must be thrown upon the schools. To-day the question is whether these specialized courses of instruction should become a part of our school curriculum or whether the needs of industry and of industrial people should be left to take care of themselves. The idea that cverv individual—whatever his class—should possess at least the rudiments of learning was the beginning of universal educa- tion. The first step toward a svstem of general •education was the free public school, where the child of the rich and of the poor alike, whether bright or dull, might learn to read and to write and to reason. Thus to-day our elementary edu- cation is universal in that it applies to all children of all classes without discrimination. To-day we are confronted with the lack of time and attention given to the industrial side of edu- cation. It is not expedient that men should de- are educated, but rather that they should remain and apply their education to the development of industry, that the people may be better served and the economic balance of things adjusted. Abraham Lincoln, on July 1K � 2, affixed his signature to the most far-reaching bit of federal legislation ever enacted “at least one college whose leading object shall be. without excluding scientific and classical studies ... to teach such branches of learning as arc related to agriculture and the mechanic arts ... in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the indus- trial classes in the several pursuits and professions ( f life.” Here we have the whole scheme in a nutshell, not only of industrial, but of universal, education.—a liberal and practical education with- out excluding scientific and classical studies. Most of the states have established industrial education on a separate basis, and some have combined and interwoven it with other forms of education. 'Phis has been done chiefiv in the great universities, whose lead in this respect is being rapidly followed by other institutions, until now we can say that the people of a common- wealth seek to educate all classes of men and at the same time develop their resources, their in- dustries, their occupations, their literature, their art. and their general activities. Our elementary education, therefore, is univer- sal. in a sense, and our university education is rapidly becoming universal in its broadest sense, but as yet we have no svstem of secondary edu- cation that can be called universal. Until the question is settled, our svstem is weak at its most important point, because it is the secondary edu- cation that touches our people during their forma- tive period. I'he college influences are beginning to affect our high schools in a wav that is wholly com- mendable. The high schools are institutions of the people and for the people, and in response to of tbe J noltsb School jfacultg sert industrv as soon as thev 254 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR their demands the schools have added to the old- time classics instruction in modern science, manual training, household science, stenography, type- writing. bookkeeping, and all kinds of art work. It will not be long before we shall have a com- plete system of universal education in the broad- est sense of the term from the elementary schools upward—a system which will enable men and women of all kinds and preferences to gain that kind of education which will not only fit them for life, but fit them to live. There is a tendency to separate the industrial school from the high school. If separated, there will be as mam different schools and as many dif- ferent forms of education as there are different forms of industrv, with little of mutual sympathy and nothing of community of purpose. If industrial education is given only in indus- trial schools, then the high schools will lose for- ever their hold upon the masses, because ninety per cent, of the people are industrial and always will be. and because boys will of necessity follow occupational instruction. The separate industrial school will always be inferior to the high school, for being established for special ends, it will attain those ends by the most direct means possible: it will become almost exclusively technical. The products of these schools would be successful from the narrowest business standpoint; but decidedly unsuccessful from the larger point of view; they would be trained, not educated. Moreover, the separate industrial school would force the boy to choose his calling at an early age when he is incapable of making an intelligent choice. )nce made, this decision would be final. Another disadvantage is that people would be educated in groups, each group without knowl- edge of or sympathy with any other. Such schools would draw the masses and have all the surface indications of success. I would advocate the adoption of industrial education by our present secondary schools, ap- portioning about one-fourth the time of every pupil to something vocational, and I would not esteem any industry too commonplace to be in- cluded in the school curriculum. It is not necessary to bring all occupations and industries into our schools, but it is necessary that we bring in a goodly variety of what may be considered the major activities, in order that train- ing may be given in a variety of forms, and that the boy may have a reasonably broad field for a choice. We can combine the vocational and the non-vocational subjects in our high schools if we will, and each will be benefited by the other. Xatin School Memorial E a : Exercises On Friday morning. May 27. the Senior and Junior classes of the Latin School gathered in the hall in commemoration of Memorial Day. The programme was opened with a violin solo by Miss Isabella Cameron of the Senior class. A selec- tion by the Senior quartette followed. After this Mr. Fax ter introduced Mr. Houghton as the speaker for the day. Mr. Houghton gave an ail- dress on whether the causes that the North had for carrying on the war were just or unjust.

Emilisb School Memorial E av Exercises The Senior and Junior classes of the English School held Memorial exercises together in the Latin hall on Friday, May 27. Owing to the ill- ness of Miss Raymond, it was impossible to have any exercises by individual students, as had been planned. The exercises were of a simple nature, being opened by the singing of “The Star-Spangled Ban- ner.” Mr. Avery then spoke briefly, urging the students to remember the true significance of the day. He then introduced a Grand Army man, William W. Fish, a prominent citizen of West Somerville. Mr. Fish’s remarks were chiefly about his own experiences in the army, and were intensely inter- esting. His account of the Andersonville prison, in which he was confined for some time, was es- pecially vivid. Mr. Fish was loudly applauded, and the exercises closed with the singing of America.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 25(5 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR iLATIN NOTLSA '10 Sumner A.

The course, laid on Rowling Green, was lined eight and ten deep with spectators, all encouraging the tired contestants and jeering the laggards. After receiving their last instructions from their trainers, the runners lined up for the start. Bunney Tarleton and Call-man King- man did not start. At the crack of the pistol the runners were off. The Rooster. the much-vaunted hero, was badly beaten, being forced to quit after running two feet. He received much sympathy from the gentler sex. Bullet Tellier ran so slowlv that his hair grew long, and he no longer need fear baldheadedness. Long Jawn hales was disqualified by the judges for taking such long steps. Goodspeed did not live up to his name, and may be running yet for all we know. Slats Merrill, who was running a good race, stopped to converse with a young lady, and so hist his chance.

A few delinquent pictures are still floating around. The editor thanks Old Father Time that June, 1910, is almost gone. Thou waitest graduation: wait death, nor be afraid! Winn wants to know if “The Grammarian’s Fu- neral,” by Browning, was dedicated to him. “Graduate along with me. The best is yet to be.” (With apologies to Robert Browning.)

We long looked forward to be- ing the graduating class, lmt were we happier in anticipation or in realization? Soon, alas! too soon, shall we become men and women! The associations of four years are to be broken up, and each graduate is saying to Ijiin- self: Whither? Whither?” For each of you the class editor wishes prosperity and happiness. There is wisdom summed up in the class oration, there are precepts to be followed in the class poems, but the best of all that we have to rely upon is our training.

Time has flown by, and now we arc almost ready to begin our fourth, last, and most interesting year of school life. Let every one of us strive to make our Senior year the best of our four, and let us, as a body, make a name for the class of 1911 which will remain as a pleasant memory to the school after our own graduation, one short year hence. The class of 1911 extends its best wishes for good luck and happiness to the members of the graduating class of 1910. And they say woman suffrage began as far back as the time of Alexander the Great!

Bcrquist ascribes his recent “ascension” in his- tory to the magnetic influence exerted over him by the comet. What will happen, now the comet has went ? In History: Peace reigned in Room 20. Sud- denly a large fly flew in at the window, and Dun- ion cast his eyes toward the ceiling.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR -73 3Dr. barter's iRcception The good times to be had at Dr. Baxter’s an- nual receptions to the Senior class are one of the traditions of the Latin School. His reception to this year’s graduating class was no exception to the general rule. Practically every member of the class of 1U10. besides many of the faculty, tilled Dr. Baxter’s house to overflowing Saturday even- ing. May 1 1. to enjoy what is generally considered the stellar occasion of the whole four-years’ course. The first part of the evening was taken up with looking over Dr. Baxter's large collection of pic- tures of his old pupils and teachers. Among the former, several of the class were interested to find photographs of their mothers and fathers, taken while Seniors at the Latin School. When the company had become settled, Mrs. Baxter served refreshments, which proved as bounteous as they were delicious. When these in turn had had ample time to settle, the real exercises of the evening commenced. After an orchestra, com- posed of Currie. Miss Burt, and Kingman, had rendered several pleasing selections. Dawson read the class history. The history was compiled by Miss Johnston and Dawson, and showed an im- mense amount of work. It was written after the fashion of Virgil's Aeneid. and while adhering strictly to fact, the authors found many occasions for humor, chiefly at the expense of the teachers. Miss Backus then sang two songs in a very effec- tive manner, and these were followed by the class poem, written by Miss Stevens, and read by Miss Smith. 'Hie main thought of the poem was well conceived, and was developed bv an exceptionally original simile. Between the reading of the poem and the class prophecies. Miss Hyde pleased an appreciative audience by her rendering of “Love’s Old Sweet Song. Doyle then told the fortunes of the male portion of the class. None of his prophecies lacked point, and in many cases the points assumed the proportions of good, hard knocks. C urrie, who had presided at the piano throughout the evening, then played several diffi- cult pieces with his usual skill, and he was fol- lowed by Miss Burt, who prophesied the girls’ futures. Like Doyle. Miss Burt had little diffi- culty in reaching the peculiarities of her class- mates, and many of her prophecies made striking hits. The whole company then gathered around the piano and sang the class song, written by Boardman, with words adapicd by Miss Stevens. Miss Milleson sang the solo part, and Boardman himself played the accompaniment. President Davis brought the festivities to a close with a neat speech, in which he expressed his appreciation of Dr. and Mrs. Baxter's gener- ous hospitality, and spoke of the class's reverence for the Latin School. He concluded by leading the class to rousing cheers for Dr. Baxter. Mrs. Baxter, and the faculty. Davis himself was then given a cheer, and with a final three times three for Dr. Baxter, the company broke ttp. IPbi alpha At a recent meeting of the Phi Alpha the fol- Cummings.

'•1 seemed to stand upon a shore Where lowering mists about me rolled, And a happy heart was mine no more. For list! upon my ear there tolled Across the tossing billows high A deep-voiced bell which seemed to say: •By morn must thou be on thy way.' “The darkness deepened all around. And lower still my spirit fell. For I could hear no other sound Save dashing waves and tolling bell, Which still pealed forth Insistently, And, os I hearkened, said to me: ‘Stay not thy step: courageous be.’ “One weary night of trial keen Of soul and mind methought I bore, T.ong pondering o'er the passing scene Of joyful days and friends of yore; The garden with Its waving trees. Where many a lesson I had learned, And for whose protection now I yearned. And now a bright light seemed to burn I’pon the spot whereon I stood. Above me glowed the mighty sun Whose deep, strong rays, foretelling good. Fell full upon my upturned brow. Behold! nearby was moored a bark, Which lay untouched by usage mark. “Clear, ringing voices I could hear. And sought to know whence these could be. And lo! were scattered far and near Youths, launching each his craft at sea, And laughed and sang at work the while. And as I scanned their faces bright, Chance wakened me to real light. “Dear friends, we stand upon this shore, Far gazing o'er the sea of life. And each ins unused bark must lower. To sail amid tire world’s great strife, hieh never may delay our course If. armed by hope and courage strong. We shall attack each wave of wrong. “The darkness near the shore will cling; it speaks the doubt and fear of youth. Winch does insist in everything. Hut wavers and succumbs to truth. ‘1 hat we to some poor, eager soul A portion of our cheer may give, God grant us power to nobly live. And now the garden green and fair. Whence with faltering feet we turn, is cherished Alma Mater's care That has guided us to learn Many lessons of varied text. May wisdom's sunshine bathe the place, And mark the spot with sacred grace. List! Duty's bell is pealing clear With summons plain to waiting youth. Its call shall fall on grateful ear. Not solemn toll, but voice of truth. Calling us to the voyage's end.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 275 ©iris 5ive Japanese JMav A large audience filled Unitarian hall Saturday evening, May 11. when the Girls' Dramatic Club of the Somerville English High School presented a rather ambitious play, entitled A Japanese Ro- mance,” under the supervision of Miss Bertha A. Raymond, teacher of elocution. Whatever may have been the anticipation of the audience con- cerning the evening's entertainment it is safe to sav that no one left the hall without a feeling of satisfaction. For a few hours a glimpse had been given of the life in beautiful Japan, and it was hard to realize that, after all, in the words of I to, it was only “honorable play-acting which had been witnessed. So charming was the spirit of the plav, so sin- cere and natural the manners of the performers, so attractive and appropriate were the stage set- tings, that the whole performance produced an ef- fect far more artistic and pleasing than could be reasonably expected of an amateur production. In everv detail was shown the result of careful preparation and thorough drill. The performance moved smoothly from the time of beginning until its close without any hitch or hindrance. Divided into six scenes, the play gave ample opportunity for stage settings representing various types of Japanese home life. The Japanese garden, the scene of the first and last act, was admirable, while the interior of a country house given in the fifth scene was a veritable glimpse of the home life in the flowery kingdom. More than is usually the case the work of the play was well distributed, giv- ing to each of the leading performers an important and attractive part. In every case the part was sustained with fidelity and charm, bringing to each performer unmistaka- ble evidence of the pleasure and approval of the audience. It was little short of remarkable that these young women could so thoroughly divest themselves of the mannerisms of the Occident and so completely vest themselves with the charm and simplicity and quaint manners of the ()rient. Great credit must be given to them for their hard and long-continued study and to all who have been in any way responsible for the planning and drilling which resulted in so admirable a per- formance. Japanese dances given several times during the play were extremely well rendered. They were interesting in themselves and because of the strong contrast which they presented to the American idea of dancing. Indeed, the Japanese gentleman who instructed the young ladies in the art of Japanese dancing complained of the diffi- culty of the task which lie had in dispossessing the minds of the dancers of the American notion and substituting therefor the Japanese idea of the dance. American girls, lie said, do not understand our dances. They all want to go hippitv-hop all the time. Incidental music was rendered bv two mandolin players. Miss Ruth Lufkin and Miss Elizabeth Chipman. whose playing of Japanese melodies added much to the realism of the scenes of home life. Miss Helen Porter secured instant favor in her rendition of a Japanese love song, which she was obliged to repeat. The part of Euzi. a dancer, was well taken by Miss ()live Long. Concerning the work of the principals it would be almost invidious to make special mention. In all fairness it should be said, however, that Miss Lillian Gunsenhiscr sustained the difficult work of the Princess liana with a certaintv and finish not to be expected of a high school girl. Her work would have been a credit to an experienced per- former. Anna Benjamin played an exacting and hard part in the role of the malignant Sakara, dealer in charms and mysteries, impressively and without exaggeration. Wilhelmina Heilman as Mimosa, Blanche Brookes as Yttki. Ruth Sargent as Yoyo, Minnie Robertson as Haru. and Ethel J. Strom as I to enacted their respective parts with such finish and charm as to make the audience, certainly the discriminating portion thereof, strongly desire to visit the flowery kingdom. The part of Ladv Cecil Cavendish, an English tourist, taken by Miss Donna Damrell. and that of her chaperon. Miss Pendergast. a most ancient Eng- lish gentlewoman, by Miss Eliza Welch, were well sustained and brought out sharply the contrast be- tween English and Japanese customs. As has al- ready been said, the stage settings were extremely well planned and executed, and the costumes were rich and beautiful. After the performance Harry Waldron, who was the efficient stage manager of the production, sold off at auction the posters and flowers which had been used as a part of the stage embellishment. So pronounced was the success of this production that many of those who saw it think that it should be give again in order that those who were not fortunate enough to attend Saturday night might have an opportunity to witness it. 2 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR —■■ •- - —■ Somerville, 5; Brockton, 4 Somerville won from I'rock I on at I ’ roadway field in a well-played game.

Mr. Avery then introduced Frank Ahern, the Senior president, who took charge of the exercises. The Senior class sang the familiar school song, “The Pilgrims’ Chorus.” Owing to illness Raymond V .

We wish to thank all for their kind co-operation with us in this column, both for having patience to read it and helping to fill it up. Here’s luck to our successor! The baseball team has had its ups and downs during the season, but has done even better than was expected of it. The fellows have shown the proper spirit, thus improving over last year’s team as shown by the percentage of games won. Somerville in all probability will not win the championship, but the team has made a hard fight for it. and up to the time of going to press was second in the league. It has been our one great regret that no one has asked us to refer to our “dope book.” Expecting much from the readers of this paper, we were sadly disappointed. All of the games will not be in this issue of the Radiator. We have to go to press early, and it is not possible to publish the late game. For many of the athletes of the high school, the day of school sport will soon be over, and they will go to new grounds to win glory.

It is a distinction for a pupil to play any instrument at the gradu- ating exercises of his own class. For one to become sufficient master of the organ to play one of the largest instruments in New England before he has completed his school career is a very unusual accomplish- ment. Mr. Marchant. who has achieved this honor by his efficiency on an instrument that usually requires adult abilities, is a pupil of the well- known composer and organist. Henry M. Dunham, at the New Eng- land Conservatory of Music. Mr. Marchant is not yet eighteen years old. When he was sixteen he played for a short time at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Somer- ville. during the absence i the regular organist, Lansing G. Putman, lie has also played at the Church of the Ascension in East Cambridge. Remarkable success has followed his study of the organ, and his classmates will be accorded a distinct surprise by his playing at their exercises. COMPLIMENTS OF C. C. Collieson Charles H. M.

It surprises the uninitiated to learn how sharply boston business men are scrutinizing their employees—looking for those who merit promotion to positions of trust and responsibility. The average stenographer getg ahead slowly, If at all. He is not equipped for rapid advancement, often he cannot even perforin his regular duties satis- factorily. But young men or women who are trained to do th ngs as they should be done, who can write shorthand rapidly and typewrite accurately—these are eagerly sought for and win their way to the highest success. Ambition, hard work and the right training lead to substantial success. The first is yours, you are capable of the second and we will supply the third. We teach shorthand as no other school in Boston teaches it. We lit our students for th best paving places in the city. Our prospectus will tell you about It.
