 ftewftewaeae waeatf ftew aeaeatfwiwwiw fteaeswattttfaea The Commonwealth of Massachusetts By His Excellency EBEN S. DRAPER, Governor A PROCLAMATION For a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise IN ACCORDANCE with custom, and by and with the advice and consent of the Council, I appoint Thursday, the 24th day of November, as Thanksgiving day. For nearly three hundred years a day of Thanksgiving has been observed in Massachusetts. There has been no time in the past more deserving of such an observance than the present. In many parts of the world dissatisfaction with governmental and economic conditions is showing itself by great unrest, and, in some cases, by revolution. In our own country complaints of existing conditions are heard, but at the same time thousands from other lands are seeking our Com- monwealth as a dwelling place to better their conditions, and be relieved from the oppression and suffering which have been their lot in their earlier homes. The principles which were the reason for the founding of Massachusetts were never stronger than today, and every man in our Commonwealth is guaran- teed the right to worship God as he sees fit: and all the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution are secure. There is no place of equal area in the world where the rights of the people are more safely guaranteed and where the condi- tions of life are better than in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Recognizing these facts, I call upon all people to take some part of Thanks- giving day in which to thank Almighty God for the blessings which are vouch- safed to them. Given at the Council Chamber, this second day of November, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-fifth.

28 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOL EDITORIAL'S 'I'hc Thanksgiving season has arrived, and young and old await with pleasure the day of the turkey and of the cranberry sauce. The fattened fowl who have strutted proudly about for the last few weeks have become martyrs to the cause, and the children are on the trail of the wish-bone. Thanksgiving, as its name implies, is a day of thankfulness and pleasure to most of us. It serves as a reminder of our Pilgrim Fathers and of their hardships and suffering, and should also lead us to compare the conditions of to-day with those of nearly three centuries ago. In the midst of our general rejoicing we should not lose sight of the fact that many are less fortunate than our- selves, nor should we forget our duty toward them. Somerville people have one thing, at least, to be thankful for, namely, that they may have the pleasure of seeing Somerville (as we hope) triumph over Rindge on the gridiron Thanksgiv- ing Day morning. r 'I'hc football season is waning and will soon close. The revised game has proved a success, and the game seems to be in no danger of extinc- tion. At the present time. Somerville High School’s chances of winning a football championship in either the Suburban or Interscholastic Leagues appears rather dubious, 'flic team has had its ups and downs this year, and although it does not hold a clean slate of winnings, has won some splendid victories. The Malden game was a hard one to lose, but our defeat f Waltham more than atoned for it. After all, a team cannot win all the time, although it takes considerable philosophy to make a cheer- ful loser. Enthusiasm at the Waltham game this year was not as great as that of a year ago, owing to the adverse weather and the respective merits of the opposing teams. Those present, however, wit- nessed a glorious struggle, which, best of all, ended in our favor. The Rindge game Thanksgiving Day morning will end the schedule, and every loyal Somerville supporter should be on the field if possible. r The members of the English School deeply re- gret the resignation of Archibald S. Bennett. Mr. Bennett has been a sub-master and instructor in mathematics in our school for over two years, and during that time has endeared himself to the many students under his instruction. The Debating Club is especially indebted to him for the services he has rendered as coach of last year’s winning team and as critic of the society. Mr. Bennett leaves to assume a position under Henry Turner Bailey on the staff of the School Arts Monthly. The Radiator wishes Mr. Ben- nett the greatest success in his new work. K Stephen E. Wright has been transferred from the afternoon to the morning session of the Eng- lish School, to fill the position made vacant by Mr. Bennett’s resignation. Mr. Wright’s place will be
