Because of the high standard set by our predecessors, we feel that, in assuming the burdens of the previous staff, we must each and all do our very best. An editorial in the June issue referred to the new staff in a highly complimentary way. We thank the past management for this and other courtesies received. But we do not yet feel the confidence in ourselves which they have expressed in us. Realizing as we do how very much is expected of the Radiator, it is our strong desire and it will be our earnest effort to produce a paper which will please and interest a set of intelligent but critical and widely different readers, and which may also be of some literary value. Our greatest assistance will be received from you, schoolmates. It is essential that we have your attention to our efforts, your indulgence for our mistakes, and your support, both literary and financial. The purpose of the Radiator is to cul- tivate a high literary spirit among the students and to exercise them in critical and creative com- position. Let it not be mistakenly thought that the Radiator lives solely or even largely for the amusement or anxiety of the members of the staff, or that theirs is anything like a monopolistic spirit. The Radiator is an ever-open door of opportu- nity through which the students may transmit the results of their literary efforts. We trust, then, that the students will favorably accept this solici- tation, and we sincerely hope that they will be im- bued with a more active spirit, which will result in frequent contributions representative of a large number of students. The spirit in which this editorial is written is one of spur rather than of complaint. v k v, V, ■Unites Me Stant) It would seem that it is not necessary to say a great deal on the subject of the new plan of con- ducting the Somerville High School. School has already been in operation over a month, and everything seems to be settled and thoroughly or- ganized. This fact, together with the clear and interesting exposition by Mr. Clark in this month's “Letter Box.” leaves almost nothing to be said. However, this point cannot be too strongly brought out: That neither of the schools has swallowed up the other, but that both go to make up a third and entirely new organization. Some of us may have had opinions at variance with those of the framers of the new plan, but surely we shall agree that the change was made in an aim for the better. Several important ad- vantages have already presented themselves. It remains only for the pupils to realize that the suc- cess of the plan from their standpoint depends upon themselves. Let each contribute his share to the process of development, and to make the surroundings pleasant. Mr. Avery struck the keynote when in the Seniors first period he said: “Loyalty, loyalty to the school.” Loyalty, then, let it be,—loyalty to the NEW SCHOOL. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 The Radiator staff extends a hearty welcome to the class of 1915. Freshmen, your .first year will be enjoyable, in- teresting, and trying. We say to you: Start well! and it means a great deal. It is the secret of a successful high school course; and we have neither the intent nor the desire to sermonize when we urge you to be careful about the formation of your habits with reference to school matters. Realize now that you must either succeed or fail. You will fail if you start in with the one idea of having a good time: but succeed you must if you take high school as it is meant to be taken. Then, we assure you, much pleasure will offer itself. In this connection we wish to call your attention to the Letters to a Freshman. beginning in this number. They are written by one who knows, and are well worthy of your serious consideration. . •� � The pressing and rapidly increasing need of much greater High School accommodations is be- coming more and more apparent. In 1895 the English High School building, which now constitutes the West wing, was con- ceded to be crowded. The number of the English High School students at that time was (500—just equal to this year's Freshman class. Think of what the situation will be in a few short years if pupils continue (and they will) to enter High School in Somerville 600 or more at a time! v . The football season is now in full sway, and, as in the past, Somerville High School is being heard of to a considerable extent. Owing to the team’s late start, it is rather early to make any predictions, but the work of the squad up to this time is of the sort that usually brings results. In consideration of the remarkably splendid showing that Somerville High School has made in football for a number of years, it is difficult to understand why there should be any need of an appeal to the students or alumni in order to bring out a fair amount of really good and effective cheering. Yet the situation is such that we feel called upon to make just such a plea. Nobody can doubt that the student body is suf- ficiently interested—even enthusiastic. Well they may be. For where is there another school that can vie with ours in extolling its athletic achieve- ments? But. strange and sad to say, neither the interest nor the enthusiasm produces the organ- ized cheering that we so sadly need. At the kimlge games the cheering is generally good, and loud enough to be heard. But what is it in proportion to what it might be, and ought to be. considering the vast army of our students and alumni who attend these Thanksgiving Day games? And where has been the organized cheering at the battles against our newer but none the less worthy foe—Waltham? What the other brave nations of the athletic world must think of us who, as a race, have so degenerated in our ath- letic warfare, and have become so tender-hearted to our foes, that there remains not in us a yell of encouragement to our own warriors! Students and alumni of the Somerville High School, this situation has already existed too long. What, then, are you going to do about it? Allow it to continue? Don't! There is a rentedv for it. Everyone has long felt that there is need of a plan bv which there should be regular cheers and songs, and official cheer-leaders. Now Mr. Avery has expressed his intention to aid in furthering this plan, and has invited co-operation. See to it. then, undergraduates and alumni, and you. officers of the Athletic Association, that this plan is car- ried out—WELL. And then let each one of us cheer, cheer. CHEER! Don't cheer during one game in a year—nor two. Cheer ALWAYS, LOUDLY, and TOGETHER. Remember the Waltham game next Saturday: also the Rindge game on Thanksgiving Day. Get vour tickets for the cheering section. r. The attention of our readers is called to the communication by Superintendent Clark which appears in this month’s Letter Box. Permit us to say right here that we consider that the Letter Box” can be made one of the most valuable and interesting departments of the Radiator. It offers to students an avenue for 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 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. To the alumnus it affords an op- portunity of communication with the student body. The teacher, too, must have some point which he wishes to make clear to the parents of his pupils, or vice versa. In short, we are glad to receive communications upon any subject of school or local interest. The writer's name will be kept back upon request. Mr. Clark’s interest in the Radiator, shown by this kindly contribution, is deeply appreciated by the management. We feel that the students at large will also appreciate this interest. r � n 9, We feel sure that our readers will welcome an article from the pen of the Radiator's old friend. Mr. Baxter, and we appreciate his kindness in contributing. It is only a new instance of the great and friendly interest in the Radiator which he has always shown. We are proud to number among our contributors this great good man. The Radiator joins in expressing the sentiment that has been voiced everywhere—that of regret at his absence and of best wishes for felicity in his future career. 9t ► r The Debating Club has not been organized yet this year, but when it is let it be with much enthu- siasm. With the united forces of the combined school there should be a large number of inter- debaters. The club has made a splendid record in the past, and we must not fall short of past achievements. A challenge has already been re- ceived from the Brookline High School which should arouse us to prompt action. Athletic interests in the High School have met with a great loss in the resignation of Mr. Harry L. Jones as treasurer and faculty manager. Mr. Jones has achieved a great deal under trying con- ditions, and sometimes in the face of opposition. He has sacrificed his own personal comfort and interest for the good of high school athletics, r. r. r r, The Radiator wishes to make clear its position with regard to the School Notes department of this number. Instead of being worked out, as in the past, by class editors elected by the various classes, this department has been placed for one month in the hands of a board composed of las: year’s class editors and their assistants. This has been done at the request of the headmaster for a reason which we shall endeavor to explain. Considering the circumstances growing out of the recent uniting of what was two schools. Mr. A very has deemed it beneficial to the school that no class elections be held so early in the year, hollowing out this idea, he requested that last year’s class representatives be appointed to look after the School Notes in the first number. It is our intention to make provision for the election of class editors by the classes in time for the November Radiator. � � • The High School, in common with the city at large, suffers an irreparable loss in the death of Mr. S. Newton Cutler. I'or many years as mem- ber of the School Board he was the faithful guar- dian of our interests, and throughout his life lie has been the generous helper of the school, the personal friend of each instructor, and the one whose optimistic good will followed each member of the classes which yearly go forth from our midst. Mr. Cutler was graduated from Somerville High school in 1873, from Harvard College in IS?L attaining honors in English and membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Throughout a busy and successful career he still found time to cultivate his marked intellectual tastes. In many of the great bookstores of Boston in a quiet corner a chair was kept “for Mr. Cutler. where, when a leisure half-hour served, the latest and choicest books were brought for his inspec- tion. to the enrichment not only of his own exten- sive library, but that of our school and the private libraries of many of his friends. His genial smile, his courteous bearing, the up- lift which followed even a momentary greeting from the cultured Christian gentleman will be greatly missed, yet his inlluencc cannot cease among us. nor his name be forgotten. By his many benefactions in the past and by his last generous bequest, through all the future, as in the past, one of the strongest working factors of the school will continue to owe much to Mr. S. Newton Cutler. We could fain wish the High School many friends like him. We are thankful to have had and to have come under the influence of one such as he was. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 ©ur lltcw teachers Miss Ber-tha Bray is a graduate of the Somer- ville Latin High School and Tufts College. At Tufts College she was secretary of her class four years, captain of the basket ball team, active in track athletics and tennis, a member of the col- lege choir, and prominent in dramatics. She was also assistant editor of the Brown and Blue. Since graduating Miss Bray has made a specialty of French and German, traveling abroad and studying at the University of Gottingen, Germany. She will teach French and German. Miss Mildred V. Clark, the new cooking teacher, is a graduate of Boston Domestic Science- School, and has spent one year at Simmons Col- lege. Mr. Walter 1. Chapman was born in Somerville, lie is a graduate of the Edgcrly Grammar School, Latin High, and Boston University. While in High School he was the first treasurer of the Radiatok. He has been supervisor of public schools, Bago. Occidental Xegros, I I., principal of Rigal Institute. Provincial High School, Occi- dental Xegros. I I., and master of several gram- mar schools. Mr. Chapman is now teaching alge- bra and Spanish. The position of laboratory assistant is filled this year by Mr. A. W. W’athan, of South Dartmouth, Mass. Mr. W'athan is a graduate of Brown Uni- versity. and has had about two years’ experience in public and private school work. Xetters to a jfrcsbman H-tumbcv One Dear Freshman:— As you are now entering upon your high school career, take a few words of advice from one who is nearing the end of high school days, and who writes from personal experience. The courses which you will take arc for the purpose of preparing you to cope successfully with the problems of life. Don’t neglect them. Even- time you do it means so much more for the next lesson. Don't let them go unlearned because of some social affair which is of less importance than Study. Let studies be the uppermost thought in mind. I don’t mean worry about them, but do lessons first, and then you will enjoy your pleas- ure a great deal more. Do your work well and faithfully each day. and then you won't have to worry about examinations at the end of the year. Take time to choose your friends. A few months with a poorly-chosen friend means the loss of much valuable time. Choose one who knows a little more than you do; try to gain something by your intimacy with him. and let him find some- thing good in you. thus making the friendship valuable to all concerned. Find a friend who is always ready to lend a willing hand when difii- culties arise. The choice of a true friend is some- thing which can never be regretted. Always work in co-operation with the teachers. When you are studying in a room with a division reciting, use the time for study and not in taking the teacher’s time to look after you. .Teachers are here to instruct and help you. Do all you can to help them. Last, but not least, let me mention school spirit. Do all you can to help along a good cause. In a school of 1,800, individual aid means a great deal; try to do your part, and you will be all right. Enter into the school spirit, abide by the laws of the school, attend the games, if possible, and do your share toward making a better, busier Som- erville High School. Sincerely your friend, A Senior. 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR (Ibe Xatc fllMss jfov Miss Sarah Winslow Fox, teacher in Somer- villes High Schools for thirty-eight years, and per- sonal friend of a large number of alumni, passed away a few weeks ago. In this connection the following obituary has been written by former Headmaster George I,. Baxter, who was for so many years associated with Miss Fox:— “I first met Miss box in February, 1808, when she was a young woman in her twenties. Miss Sarah R. Osgood, teacher of classics and mathe- matics in the high school, had resigned to accept the position of head assistant in the Salem High School. Miss Osgood was a very successful teacher, and when she gave up her position in Somerville she was asked if she knew of anyone whom she could recommend to fill her place, one as good as herself. Her answer was: ’I will recommend a teacher better than I. Sarah Wins- low Fox.' The committee and superintendent were impressed by what she said, and interviewed Miss Fox. The latter asked to be tried in the schoolroom. She proposed to come to Somer- ville. take for one day the classes that would be given the new teacher, and conduct the recitations without seeing the pupils beforehand or knowing what lessons had been assigned. The proposal was accepted, and the committee were so pleased with her teaching and management that she was chosen directly to (ill the vacancy. Miss Fox was of the best Xew England blood, descended on her mother's side from the brother of Governor Winslow, and on her father's side from Thomas Fox, one of the original proprietors of Cambridge. The opportunities for the education of young women were not such in the fifties as they are to- day. Miss Fox, after completing with the young men a course preparatory to college, continued her studies under private instructors and by her- self until she became more highly educated than most college graduates. Endowed with a brilliant mind, with an eager appetite for learning, her natural taste for the in- tellectual cultivated by severe discipline and con- stant study, she would have been a marked woman whatever line of life she had chosen. Perhaps her sphere of influence was largest as a teacher. Probably no woman teacher in Xew England has made a deeper impression on the minds of her pu- pils. She knew Latin better than many college professors. In mathematics she delighted to solve original problems, problems that puzzled the best teacher. Her success in teaching history to college-bound pupils was remarkable, and no one laid a better foundation in Greek in the mind ot beginners. Quiet and dignified in the classroom, she had perfect control over her pupils, and her whole time was given to instruction. If a pupil did not succeed he confessed that it was his fault alone. I ler health was never very strong, but she took the best care of herself, and after several years of teaching always asked for a year’s leave of ab- sence for travel abroad. 'Phis broadened her mind, taking away all narrowness of the school- room. and gave her extra opportunity for study, so that she came back better ccpiippcd in mind and body for teaching. She loved the Somerville .High School, and, although she had many opportunities to go else- where. was tempted but once. Xewton asked her to teach in the high school at a larger salary, and she accepted in 1873. She had taught there less than two years when she heard that the Somer- ville committee were sorry they let her go. She offered to come back and was immediately elected to her old position. Her relations with her fellow teachers were ex- ceedingly pleasant. The younger teacher came to her for advice, which was freely and wisely given : the older teacher frequently consulted her in regard to methods of instruction and the man- agement of pupils. Outside the schoolroom Miss Fox was greatly admired, sought for in society, welcome everywhere. ‘ She was an example of the highest type of the old-time teacher, oeginning teaching in a public high school at seventeen, and continuing her work as an instructor without intermission, except when she had leave of absence for travel, for fifty years.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 fllbaFung THts 'Xcttcr 36 ? 3obn jf. Barkis, ’12 ILL FLEET was a gritty lad. and for three years had worked hard to make the football team and thereby win his “S.” This was his iast year in school, so he plugged hard all the season to make a backficld position, but he was handicapped by his light weight: also there was a veteran backficld from last year’s team. His heart and soul were set on making his S.” so lie played with the scrub team, and awaited his chance to go into a game and make good. Now there remained but the Thanksgiving Day game, so he fought hard in scrimmage during the last days of practice, and when it was finished lie waited with feverish impatience for to-morrow to come. Thanksgiving morning dawned clear, but windy and cold. The crowd began to fill the stands and the sidelines long before the game was scheduled to commence. The Summerval rooters occupied the cast and centre section, and their part of the stands looked like a great swaying slope of red and blue. The rival rooters for Ranual occupied the west stands, and they had turned out in great numbers to cheer their team on to victory. Both teams had been drilled and coached for the last battle of the season, and both were keen and eager for the fray. Bill Fleet listened with in- tense interest -to the last words of the coach to the team, and then he trotted out with the squad on the field, headed by their captain. The Sum- merval stands to Bill looked like a waving mass of red and blue; and the deep rumble and roar of the school veil sent the blood jumping through his veins, then the Ranual team trotted on the field, and they were given a reception by their fol- lowers worthy of gladiators. Bill was crouched on the sidelines covered with a blanket, watching the two teams go through a brisk signal practice. He watched the two rival captains meet, and then they tossed a coin for their choice of the kickoff. The Summerval captain won the toss, and chose to play against the wind and to receive the kick. Dane, the Ranual fullback, scraped a mound of dirt with his shoe, arranged the ball with great care and precision, and then stepped back. The game was on. It was a terrific kick, and Bill breathlessly saw Thorne, the fullback, catch it almost under the goal post. Bill tightened his fist and rose to his knee as he saw Thorne dodge the first tackle, and then a second dove and brought Thorne to one knee: and Bill almost shouted as he saw Thorne still fight on. and as he was thrown to the ground by the Ranual men Bill bit his lip and dug his hands into the ground. The Ranual team proved stronger than ex- pected. and the first half ended with no score. Between the halves Bill listened in grim silence to the coach, who flayed them alive and besought them to go back in the second half to fight for their lives. The referee put his head in through the door, and yelled: 'lime’s up.” Then the Summerval team trotted back to the field, with white faces and savage eyes, determined to score or die. They kicked off to Ranual. who rushed the ball back to their thirty-yard line. Here the Sum- merval team, fighting like demons, held Ranual for downs, and took the ball away from them. Bill Fleet's heart was jumping like a trip ham- mer as he saw the Summerval backs smash through the Ranual team for four- and five-yard gains, and then, after an exchange of punts, it was Summerval's ball on Ranual’s forty-yard line. Bill held his breath as the ball was snapped to the halfback, who. lowering his head, plunged into the line of flying arms and feet. and. with a sicken- ing impact of bone and muscle, was crushed to the ground by a pile of Ranual men. Bill, with eager eyes, watched the men slowly get up. and something came up in his throat as he saw Gates lying limp and white on the ground. Bill’s breath came in long gasps as he saw the players lift the halfback and bring him towards the sidelines. I lad his chance come at last? Bill, half kneeling on the ground, prayed for a chance to make good, and when the coach turned to him and said: Get in there. Fleet, and fight for your life.” he tore off his sweater and sprinted on the field. He was given the ball on the first play, and he shot through skin tackle for six yards. On the next play the quarterback fumbled the ball, and a Ranual man fell on it on the fifty-yard line. Twenty yards back of the scrimmage line Fleet IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR waited. His breath was coming in gasps, and his eyes were nailed on the ball. here was only one minute to play, when on a fake punt forma- tion, the Ranual quarterback tried a forward pass. His aim was good, and the ball shot straight towards the end, who waited with out- stretched arms. Bill made a wonderful leap in the air. and some- how caught the ball, tucked it under his arm, and sped for the goal line. Ear ahead the goal post seemed to dance before his eyes. He heard the heavy thud of the pursuing halfbacks, and now, as he flashed across another whitewashed line, he heard their sobbing breath and could almost feel it on his neck. Only fifteen yards more? But his knees began to weaken. He gasped and staggered on. Nearer and nearer came his two pursuers, and. as he crossed the ten-yard line, lie felt a hand clutch- ing at his back, and then the two mighty backs hurled themselves on him, and he fell across the goal line with the men on top of him. Time was up, and Bill had made his “S.” “ Ibe Sucker B ? jfranl; C. iDavus, '13 HE rhythmic cheering from the stands is suddenly swallowed up by a great spontaneous roar that comes from the throats of Red and Blue supporters alike. For from out of tlie midst of the struggling mass in the centre of the field the oval pigskin erratically bounds, having escaped the clutches of the blue- halfback who had carried it. A blue end flings himself at it. but the ball successfully evades the grasping arms. Immediately a red-jerseved youth pounces upon it. cat-like, and in the same motion comes to his feet, the ball held securely in the crook of his arm. ( n the instant he is off. a clear field in front, speeding straight for the goal-line, fifty yards away. “Better come over to the clubhouse and have that knee patched up, hadn't you, Bob? solici- tously inquired the cver-cautious trainer, Mike Donovan. “And then a siiowcr and a rub wouldn't harm you any, you know. Captain Bob Storer, out of the game with a wrenched knee after crossing the goal-line for the first score of the afternoon, shook his head impa- tiently. The veteran trainer stood for a moment, think- ing. Possessed of a vigorous constitution, al- though rather slight physically, there were few men of his weight or near it who dared stand toe to toe with him in a fair fight. Well. he said, that knee should be attended to at once. I'll go over myself after some fresh bandages.” He started off toward the clubhouse just as the whistle blew on the field for the resumption oE hostilities. In ten minutes, now, the game would be over, and it seemed as though the Reds were going to repeat their hard-won victory of the year oefore, for Captain Storer's recovery of a fumble and sensational run for touchdown, with the goal which followed, looked fully large enough to hold safe the battered and discouraged gladiators in blue. The clubhouse was a long, low building off at the northern end of the stadium. Donovan, with his pass key. let himself in at a side door. The building was still now, very still, for he was the only one in it. Everyone else, substitutes, rub- bers, even the watchman, was down on the side- lines. Trainer Mike's rubber-soled shoes made no sound on the hardwood fioor as he crossed the narrow hall to the storeroom. He quickly found the roll of elastic bandage for which he had come, and had turned to pass out again when a sound from the locker-room below brought him to a halt. ()n the cement fiooring underneath, heavy foot- steps sounded, their echoes reverberating hol- lowly through the empty building. They passed dirccth beneath him, turned, and then started up the stairs over at the left. Puzzled, Trainer Mike hesitated, then took a couple of steps forward, and standing in the shadow of the wall at the right of the stairs, waited for the unknown to appear. The footsteps continued to the top of the stairs, and then suddenly stopped. Trainer Mike swore softly, lie had left the door at the side on which SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR he had entered wide open. He could hear the breathing of the other man quicken and become heavy. Then came absolute silence. He stepped out from the shadow and faced the head of the stairs in time to see a dark form re- treating back down into the locker-room on tip- toe. Waiting until the form had passed from sight into the damp blackness down stairs. Dono- van himself descended. At first he could not see. but, as his eyes grew accustomed to the darkness, he made out the figure of the unknown intruder, moving slowly along, apparently examining witii much difficulty the number of each locker. Suddenly Donovan caught his breath. There was something familiar in the stoop of those pow- erful shoulders. Who------Ah! lie knew. The unknown was Clancy, a new rubber taken on a few weeks before. Donovan frowned. Clancy, he knew, had no love for him, for Clancy’s left eye still showed the results of a little set-to the two had had a week before, from which Clancy had emerged in a much worse condition than Dono- van. A dull click broke the sullen stillness. Clancy had stopped before one of the long row of lockers and had twirled the combination lock correctly, for the door of the locker was open before him. Donovan, watching closely from the shelter of the stairs, saw him draw something, a glittering, tick- ing something, from his pocket, saw him hesi- tatingly. regretfully place it in a certain pocket f a coat hanging in the locker, and then----- Suddenly the man before the locker stiffened: his gaze roved from side to side, and his fingers twitched convulsively. Donovan realized that Clancy had sensed the fact that lie was being watched. Immediately Donovan found the electric light switch with his fingers and switched on the lights. Then he stepped out and faced the other man. Well, Clancy,” he said, was it cold feet or a guilty conscience?” Clancy stood glaring, but said nothing, so Donovan continued. It's all very simple, Clancy. You've had your eyes on that watch ever since you've been here. Did that open door startle you a little? If you'd had any nerve you'd have made for the door and run for it. Yes. it's a clear case of cold feet. Clancy sneered. Well, what are you going to do about it? he asked. 11 Do? echoed Donovan, surprised. Why. what would you do, now, if vou were in my place? I guess I'll keep you here till the boys come, and then put it up to them. They'll be here in—let me sec—about four minutes. Then Donovan got into action, for Clancy, evi- dently deciding that his engagements elsewhere would not permit him to wait for the boys, came at him with blood in his eye. It was a merry encounter while it lasted, and it lasted some few seconds less than a minute. When it ended, Clancy was fiat on his back, his damaged left eye still more damaged, and the right one almost equally as much. And there was Donovan, breathing a little hard but unmarked, smiling above him. Clancy, conquered and broken in spirit, looked up. The fierce sullenness in his swollen eyes was gone. They were pleading now. Finally he spoke in the voice of one making a confession. I was tempted. Donovan, from the moment 1 saw that watch. Hut you don’t understand. His voice broke and faltered. There’s a littie girl, my wife, sick in bed. All she needs is---.” Donovan broke in harshly. Cut it out, he commanded. It’s the truth. persisted Clancy. You won't believe me, but it's the truth. She needs nourish- ment and proper attention, and what I'd have got from that watch would have supplied her with both. You’d have done the same thing, he finished. Mis eyes were pleading again. Donovan look at him. He believed the man now. Yes. I guess I would.” he said thoughtfully. Donovan had a wife himself. Then you’ll let me go? Clancy got un- steadily to his feet. His eyes sought Donovan's eagerFy. but Donovan turned away, lie stood for a moment with his back to Clancy, and his hand went deep into his pocket. When he took it out again he turned around. Go ahead. said Trainer Mike, and held out his hand. Then the Dooming sound of rhythmic cheering was born to their cars like the rumbling of a dis- tant volcano. Out in the open air Clancy was not thinking of the triumph of the Reds, lie gave no heed to the howling, swirling mob around him. In his right hand he crumpled a ragged, old twenty-five-doll it bank note. In his mind was the picture of a girl 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR restored to perfect health, the color of the roses blooming in her checks. Donovan, still standing thoughtfully in the locker-room, came to himself with a start. “Gee!” he muttered ruefully. “There’s an aw- ful hole in my hank account just at present.” Then— Hang it! I wish I knew whether or not lie played me for a sucker.” XEbe (Turning of tbe By? iRobert C. Bourne, ’12 Worm THINK it was so lovely of Mr. Brown to offer to take us out in the boat, ' exclaimed the matron perched in the stern, the motion is so exhilarating, don’t you think? I hear you arc quite an enthusiast, Mr. Brown. Doesn’t the motor ever get out of order? My husband has always said that he wouldn’t own one for a farm, you know. But then I think such a nice, comfortable boat as this one—and Speedwell is such an appropriate name, too.” Yes. I fell in love with this boat the moment 1 laid eyes on her, ’ rejoined the other matron. “The agent wanted to show us another, but 1 told George that it couldn’t possibly be better than this one. and George thought the same as 1 did, so we bought it. Did you till the oil cups. George, be- fore you started? I — 1 think so,” answered George, I'll look and see. and relapsed into silence while puttering about the engine. The foregoing conversation was held in the stern of a small motor dory, chugging down the bay. Mrs. George Brown, regent of the Ezekiel Stockman Chapter. I). A. K.. was entertaining the state regent. Mrs. James, Briggs, for the week end at her summer home at the seashore. As may be inferred. Mr. George Brown had been called into requisition to furnish the entertainment for the guest. Mrs. Brown was a woman of brilliant talents, high ambitions, and somewhat decided opinions. I’nder her administration the Ezekiel Stockman Chapter had developed from a comparatively in- significant body to one of the largest and most in- fluential chapters in the state. ()f this she was justly proud, and aspired to become state regent. With this once obtained, who knew but that she might some day attain the president-generalship? Mrs. Brown hardly dared hope for this, but she had set her heart on the former office. With this end in view, she was entertaining the present in- cumbent of that position, about to retire, with the hope of getting her favor and support. From the height of her social aspirations, she looked upon George as merely an accessory to obtain the de- sired object. She therefore devoted her time and energy to arousing the interest and friendship of the Exalted Personage, and almost forgot to di- rect George in the running of the engine. Of George little need be said. He had been Mrs. Brown’s husband for so long that he had no recollection of ever being otherwise, and it was only on extremely rare occasions that lie ventured to protest mildly against her imperious decrees. On this day. however, he was filled with a vague resentment against he knew not exactly what. and. while outwardly as meek as ever, scowled darkly ahead, and turned the small steering wheel in the bow with vicious little jerks. The boat had been skirting close to the shore, owing to the beauty of the scenery and the height of the tide, and George now started to slip in be- tween a small sandy island and the beach. He had just reached the centre of the narrow channel which separated the island from the shore, when with a gasping cough the engine stopped. The boat at once lost its momentum and drifted slowly with the light breeze toward the shore. George glared impatiently at the engine, and Mrs. Brown gazed inquiringly at George. He walked aft, gave the wheel a petulant twitch, the boat shot ahead a few vards. and stopped again. George thought he noticed something wrong with the car- buretor. and bent down to examine it, amid the vociferous advice of his wife and the inane re- marks of the guest. A circumstance that none in the party noticed SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3 was that the boat, which under the influence of the breeze had swung its bow toward the shore, had gently grounded on a low sand bar under the momentary impulse of the engine, and remained there. Here it became more firmly fixed every minute, as the tide was running out. It was the Exalted Personage, who, gazing around with calm dignity, finally perceived their plight. Oh. Mr. Brown. I do believe we are aground! Do hurry and get us off, or we may not get back in time for tea.'' George glanced hastily over the side, seized an oar. and attempted to push off. but in vain. The boat was hard and fast, with the tide still running out. George sat down athwart and gazed helplessly at his wife. Guess the best thing vou can do is sit down and wait for the tide, mate. drawled a voice. '‘There ought to be enough water for you to get off by eleven o’clock to-night,—half past ten, mebbe.” The attention of the party was drawn to a tali, lank individual, calmly surveying them from the beach, and engaged in chewing an enormous quid of tobacco. Is there no way by which we can get off? de- manded Mrs. Brown. If you arc a fisherman, you must have a motor boat, and you can easily tow us out. You will be well paid for your trouble. Sorry, ma’am, but my son has taken the boat to town after provisions, and even if I had her I couldn't get in there now. The tide runs off of that bar so fast that I’d be ashore in a minute. The only way you can get ashore is to wait until dead low tide, and walk. With this, the native became disinterested, and gazed meditatively at the sky, rolling his quid from one side to the other. The Exalted Personage now sat up still more stiffly in her scat. I shall certainly not demean myself by walking ashore over those awful flats, neither do I intend to remain here until midnight. You must provide some way. Mr. Brown, to get us off. Having issued this fiat, she relapsed into stern and dignified silence. Most certainly. echoed Mrs. Brown. When the water is low enough. George, you can carry us ashore, and we can walk to the nearest car line. Dubiously and with a smothered anathema. George surveyed the distance to dry land and the figures of his estimable spouse and her guest. None of your slender young things, these. They were substantial and robust with the weight of their dignity and responsibilities. But his was the lot to obey, not to command—and so, the water having now receded to a depth of a few inches, after due preparations he stepped over the side and prepared to receive the queenly Juno in his arms, spurred on by the exhortations and cau- tions of his wife. It was no small task which con- fronted him, but George shouldered his responsi- bility like a Hercules, and all would have gone well if the lady had not dropped her hand bag and made a frantic clutch to recover it just as his toe came into violent contact with a small stone. I hen. alas! with a gasp echoed by a shriek from the lady in the boat, and a chuckle from the gen- tleman on shore, the Exalted Personage, state re- gent of the D. A. R., was enthroned somewhat un- ceremoniously in six inches of water. Like a flash, two things occurred: Mrs. Brown saw her social aspirations in a wreck around her, and George’s shackles fell from him like a miracle —for human patience could endure no longer. W ith a wrathful jerk, he helped the incensed lady to her feet and to the shore, and strode splashing back to the boat. When he reached the side his wife was ready for him. ‘ W ell. George Brown. I must say---- You get out and walk.” Well, of all things--- Get out and walk! George was growing dangerous: then the unexpected happened. The fire died out in the worthy lady’s eye, and with a smifllc she meekly obeyed, clinging to his arm as he strode across the flats to the shore. Leaving the two women standing on the beach. George made arrangements with the fisherman to take care of the boat and run it back in the morning, and received directions as to the nearest line of cars, which was about a mile and a half distant. It was a queer looking party that wended its way slowly along the deserted country road through the gathering twilight. George strode ahead, a dark frown on his face, with Mrs. Briggs a close second, her head scornfully erect, while his wife, suffering in silence, brought up the rear. I.’pon arriving at the cottage, the Exalted Per- sonage coldly informed her hostess that she would leave on the early train in the morning, since un- der the circumstances she did not feel inclined to remain longer. Immediately all of Mrs. Brown’s lost dignity returned to her. and clinging to her husband's arm. she composedly expressed her re- grets at her guest's decision, though entirely agreeing with her that, under the circumstances, it was doubtless for the better. Thus the party broke up for the night. 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The next morning George’s exasperation had given way to an inner exultation. VY’hy hadn’t he tried this tack with her before? billed with a new buoyancy and independence, he parted smil- ingly from his guest at the train, undismayed by her stony silence, and passed on his way down town, with eager step and shoulders squared. On his way he passed a store window where were displayed fancy pillow covers ready for embroider- ing. He paused, hesitated, and entered the store. Approaching one of the salesgirls, he beckoned her airily with his finger, and pointed out one which caught his fancy. “Give me that green one, there,” he said. ‘T think I’ll send it home to my wife. Zhc tfint JS Clinton 011. Carvell, ’14 HE two football coaches of the Han- over College team were walking down the road leading to the foot- ball field. Tni sorry we’re late,” said the older man. an old Dartmouth star, “but 1 told Lane to start up a scrimmage between the ‘varsity and the second team as soon as possi- ble. It’s about time the ’varsity held the second team. I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s just as the papers print repeatedly; every other day there's something about the weakness of the backficld or the lack of training, but surely they’ve had enough training, and, coming to a conclusion, it is our system that is no good.” “No, Jackson!” emphatically replied the other. “It is our backficld that’s weak. The line’s the strongest around. Even Amherst couldn’t get through it. If we only had another man of Lane’s calibre in the backficld there is no doubt that we’d show Randolph a thing or two week after next; but, as it is, all we can do is hope for the best. Yes.” murmured the other, and—well, here’s the field. 1 guess I’ll watch a while from the sidelines.’’ Roth coaches stepped to the sidelines, and stood watching while the ’varsity prepared to kick off after a touchdown. The quarter drew back, got the signal, and in a moment the ball was rising into the air. “That’s a good kickoff,” murmured Jackson, but the ball is going to Latimer. He’ll never get it. and. if he does, the ends will be down under him before he can get started.” But even coaches are not always right. To the surprise of all, Latimer caught the ball and straight-armed two men, advancing rapidly to al- most the centre of the field. What!” exclaimed Jones, the other coach, “Latimer taking forty yards on the kickoff, and now the second’s quarter driving Lambert through centre twice for no gain, third down, and the seconds lined up for a punt!” That’s what!” replied Jackson, and Latimer’s going to do the punting, too.” The ball shot back, and in a second was sailing high into the air. It was a beautiful spiral, and covered ten white lines before it dropped into the arms of a ’varsity man. He started iorward, but was thrown heavily to the ground, and the ball rolled out from under him. Three forms lunged at it. and captured it for the second team. “The second’s playing up to form to-day all right,” said Jackson, and there goes Latimer through guard for ten yards, and the jersey is ripped off his back, and-----’’ One moment, Jackson.” said Jones, that man’s not Latimer. Call the quarterback here.” In a moment the second’s quarter faced them. “Who’s playing left-half?” asked Jackson. Judkins,” was the reply. Latimer had to go away, so he sent him down. He had a lot of back work to make up, but he’s a dandy. Goes through Erlin every time, and plays rings all round the ’varsity.” Judkins, eh!” said Jones. “Well, tell him to come around to the gym to-night, and I’ll have a new jersey for him. That’s enough practice SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 15 for to-day, and tell Lane to come here for a minute.” $ This was the great day in Hanover, for Ran- dolph and Hanover were to battle for the cham- pionship of the state. For two weeks practice had been extra heavy, and the Hanover eleven had awakened and won every remaining game on the schedule so far. Judkins, at fullback, was the whole backfield. He had put new life into the eleven, and victory seemed a possibility at the least. At one o’clock the stands were filling, and at two they were a dense mass of dark color,—on one side the blue and gold of Hanover, on the other the crimson and gray of Randolph. As the teams streamed onto the field for prac- tice the cheers echoed along the stands. At 2.10 the officials drew aside the captains, and at 2.15 the ball was set in position in the centre of the field. Randolph was to kick off. and Hanover lined up to receive the kick. Immediately following the whistle the ball rose into the air and settled into the quarterback’s hands. He started swiftly up the field, but was thrown and downed before lie had gained much. Even at this early period Hanover realized that the game would be a fight to the finish. O11 the first attempt no ground was gained, but the second play was an end run, and netted fifteen yards. The next play was smothered, and a punt followed. I ut Randolph fared no better, and the period ended with the ball in the centre of the field. In the second period Randolph came to life, and on the first play her backs crashed through centre for ten. eight, six, seven yards, till, on the twenty- yard line. Hanover held like a stone wall. Ran- dolph tried a drop kick, and the ball sailed squarely between the two posts, and a huge three was chalked up for Randolph. Randolph kicked off again. Judkins got the ball, and carried it to the middle of the field by a mighty effort. Next a forward pass was tried, but it netted no gain. Judkins plunged into the line with the ball, and in a moment he appeared at the other side of a pile of players, and dashed down the field for twenty yards. Jackson and Jones, the two coaches, chuckled to sec what they expressed as “their find” crashing through centre. But here Randolph held like a stone wall for two downs. In the third down the team formed for a punt, but the ball shot sideways into the quarter’s hands, and he swiftly relayed it to the left end, who dashed oyer a broken field for a touchdown just as the whistle blew. As the third period opened, a dull look seemed to cover the players. Randolph had put in a new man. while Hanover’s line remained unchanged. On the kickotf Randolph was downed, and failed to gain. A punt followed, but neither team seemed snappy, and a series of punts were ex- changed. Then Hanover braced up. and Jud- kins squirmed and plunged through centre for thirty yards, landing on the eighteen-yard line. The stands rose as one man, and the cheering drowned the hoarse voice of the quarterback. “Judkins! Judkins! Judkins!!!” This cheer rose above a confused yelling, and echoed in a thunder- ing vollv across the field. Judkins tried again, but he could not gain, and the quarter walked back for a drop kick. The signals were repeated, and the ball shot back. The quarter caught it and let it fall: at the same moment it touched the earth he kicked. The ball started up toward the posts when----- Smack! The ball smote a Randolph man full on the up- stretched hands. The strong Hanover line had failed to hold, and a husky guard had smothered the kick. It struck the earth and bounced back- wards. The Randolph halfback sprang through the line, scooped the ball up. and plunged down the field. The stands drew one long breath, and stopped. There was 110 one between him and the goal line, and he was the fastest man on the team. As the men saw the ball being taken down the field, they sped after. But frojn among them one form was prominent. It was Judkins! And Judkins was the fastest man on Hanover. It would be a fight to the finish. The men were already at the middle of the field, and Judkins had gained five yards. He was sprinting hard, and his legs seemed to move automatically. At the forty-yard line Judkins was five yards behind, and he did not seem to be gaining an inch. Suddenly his jaw tightened, he clenched his fist, gave a last sprint, and dove into the air at the fleeing runner’s feet. He caught one foot in his nerveless fingers, twisted it viciously, and was conscious of a’heavy thud, and then another, after which all was blank. It was several weeks before Judkins was him- self again, and when he was. he opened his eyes to see cots all around him. He gasped in agony, for his left shoulder seemed like a burning tire. He heard a familiar voice beside him. and his first thought was how the game came out, and he i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR whispered: What was the score. Jackson? “Six to three. was the quiet reply, and a feeling of relief flushed into Judkins’ mind. His tackle did some good after all. even if he did hurt himself. “Go on. said Judkins, eagerly, tell us all about it. “Easy, my boy, easy, said Jackson. After you tackled that man the ball was on the twenty- cight-vard line, and far over to one side. There was only two minutes left to play. The crowds were wild, uncontrollable, after you made that tackle, till it was seen you had broken your shoulder, for that’s what you did. Then a dull hush—a tense, hallowed silence—settled over the field till you had been removed. Of course you know that there’s a penalty on the flying tackle? Yes, yes, was the feverish, impatient answer. “but go on. It was the only way to save the game at all. Well, the Randolph captain declined, abso- lutely refused to take the penalty.' By the way. I’ve got a letter here for you from him. He says----” “Never mind now, but go on. exclaimed Jud- kins. All right. Let’s sec—oh, yes, their captain de- clined the penalty, tried to crash through centre for distance, and the whistle blew. While the band played mournfully through the stands, the people filed solemnly out into the streets, a tribute to a man who turned the tide. Shake, he said, and the two shook hands in spite of the pain which ran through Judkins’ shoulder. H (Soot� draining School jfor JSo s J6 ? Charles 1b. ‘Clpton, '12 XE section of Boston has been used for over a century as a market dis- trict. Many men have been in the meat or produce business in this section all 'their lives, and have be- come wealthy. There is, on Black- stone street, a dealer in pork products who has earned since he has been in the business, probably for fifty years, nearly a million dollars. But the majority of the market men run little stands or stores where they earn a very good living. Saturday is the busiest day for most of these men, for it is on that day that hundreds of people arc looking for a Sunday dinner. All day the dis- trict presents a very busy appearance. In the morning the drays and wagons are lined up a; the various stalls and shops discharging the day’s sup- plies. In the afternoon and evening the wagons give place to the outfits of the pedlers, who self cvervthing imaginable, from sweaters at sixty-nine cents to onions at two cents a quart. A Jewish pedlcr told the writer that he doubled his money selling onions at the above figure. Quantities of meat arc sold. One firm a few weeks ago sold two tons of pork loins in an afternoon and even- ing. It is on Saturday that the boy plays a large part in the day’s business, flic work required of him is varied. Some boys are hired to do up bundles, working all day behind a counter. Others com- bine salesmanship with other work. The average working day is about sixteen hours. It is a pecu- liar fact that in nearly every stall or store one can see a Somerville boy, usually a High School stu- dent. The employers require, as in any business, that the boy should be honest. A short time ago a merchant who runs an outside stall where the money is carried in the salesman’s pockets was in need of some one to take the place of the man who had just left. He selected one of the boys from among several in his employ and gave him charge of the stall and change, which amounted at that time to about $50. He knew that he could trust the boy. Willingness to work is also necessary to estab- lish the ideal relation between employer and em- ployee. Honesty and willingness are good, but there is one other attribute, and that is alertness. The men have no use for a boy who, figuratively, [Continued on next page.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 Hfcvantages anb EHsabvantages of TKHorkmg ©lie’s HtHaylXbrougb College B “1Ra ? 5 .

The time so spent seems to him merely a loss. hat he fails to understand is the greater eagerness with which his classmate uses such time as he does have for his college work, and the greater value which the whole course assumes in his eyes. The man who has planted, hoed, dug. washed, and baked his own potato has a far differ- ent attitude toward it from that of the man who merely says to the waiter: Oh. French-fried, I guess. On the other hand, it can be argued that the work that the college vou-th of to-day docs in four years could be done in a much shorter period— perhaps one year—of such work as the student will do when he gets out of college: and that when, to obtain this holiday, the boy must earn his pas- sage. he is paying too hign a price. Hut it will be generally agreed that if a college education itself pays, it pays a young man to work his way. Again it may be contended that a college train- ing acquired by the man who earns his way is of less value than it would otherwise be because the advantages of athletic training, of social inter- course. and of fraternal societies are less available, and because college friendships and personal popularity must be sacrificed. I believe, however, that a careful study of col- lege life will not sustain this. The college com- munity is essentially democratic, and men are not rated by their classmates on a financial basis. W e often find the poorest men in college the most popular, the best students, and prominent in ath- letics. The tendency to become lazy, vicious, and lux- ury-loving is lessened when every hour is needed in legitimate work. Good hard work is always wholesome, always moral, always stimulating, and in America always respected. The man who has to work his way through college may already have had all he needs physically and morally for his col- lege course: but more will not hurt him. nor as a sell ilar greatly hinder him, nor socially stand in the way of his having a reasonably good time. More important still is whr.t he gets out of the work itself. Me is beginning already to do in col- lege the very tiling for which the college is sup- posed to fit him: namely, to earn his own living. It gives him an idea of the value of money and the hardness with which it is won : a knowledge of values—where to buy and when ; what is necessary and wise: and what can be dispensed with and dis- regarded. These are qualities that he will need when lie gets out of college and all through life. It is a gain that he can lay the foundation for them while he is in college. Xor is all the work he may do a theft of time from his studies. Tutoring another is the surest way of perfecting one's own knowledge.

The qualities named above make a splendid combination which produces re- sults both for the boy and for his firm. Under such conditions, where a boy is often placed on his own responsibility for sometimes a whole afternoon, he cannot help deriving some benefit from his work. As a result of such a training fifty-two days in the year, the boy has made himself better fitted for any work he mav undertake. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i8 To Readers of the Radiator:— Last August the editor invited me to write a letter to the High School students, giving them my views upon the changes in high school organ- ization which have occurred since the close of school in June. Since then the school has opened and has been in operation a month under the new plan, and every one has had opportunity to know more about the new order than was ap- parent when I was asked to write about it. Nevertheless, because I think it is desirable f r the students to be well-informed about the conduct of the school, its purposes, and prospects, I shall keep my promise by writing about our High School as it is organized to-day. In the first place, to the passer-by in the street no evidence is given of a radical change, flic physical plant is the same, and the throng of stu- dents passing in and out of the buildings is the same. As last year, there was no outward sign of division, so now there is no new sign of union. The physical aspect of the school has not been changed. Because of the nearness of the build- ings to each other the plant and the student body constitute a physical unit. From the standpoint of organization it seemed wiser to administer such a school under one system of control than to con- tinue a double system. Therefore the school committee united the Latin and the English High Schools, and by their union re-established the Somerville High School. Into this new school the constituent parts have merged their identity, no trace of either being left. With equal right, each of the former schools may with the other claim the establishment of the new school. Neither school has incorporated the other. Again, while the enrollment of the High School is now very large for a single school, it is no greater than would have been the joint en- rollment of the separate schools. In respect to numbers, therefore, it is probable that the change has had only the effect of providing an adminis- tration more efficient than formerly, because of its unified character. The overcrowding of the buildings, the morning and afternoon sessions are incidents in no way attributable to. or conse- quences of the union of the schools. They would have been equally in evidence this fall under the two-school plan. So much for the physical side. The new school having an enrollment of more than 1,800 pupils, an enrollment which will soon, in all probability, reach 2,000, is now one of the largest in New Eng- land. I presume it is the largest. The signifi- cance in this fact is twofold: First, Somerville sends a large proportion of its pupils to the High School: and. second, all of these high school pu- pils are now confided to a single institution. Once again the city places in a single school all of the interests in secondary education of all of its pupils. A great responsibility is thus thrust upon this institution. The responsibility is directly pro- portional to the number of students for whom it is assumed. How shall such a responsibility be met? During the last twenty years the development of high schools has been in the direction of pro- viding different courses adapted to the needs of different groups of students. Before that time the high school was conducted mainly as a fitting school for college, and the course of study in- cluded such subjects as were demanded for ad- mission to college or as would contribute to a so-called liberal education. With the growth of the idea that secondary schools should fit more efficiently for the conditions of life such pupils as were not to enter college, new courses were added to the curriculum. In this way came in commercial subjects, manual training, domestic science, and other divisions of manual arts. For the better teaching of these special courses many large cities established special schools. Such schools were named according to their specialty, as. Manual Training Schools, High Schools of Commerce. High Schools of Practical Arts, Business High Schools, etc. In places where a separate high school for a special course of study is not practicable it is the plan to conduct under SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 011c school management courses as various as the needs of the pupils dictate. Such a high school is known as a general or composite high school. Of this type now is the Somerville High School. It is proposed in this school to conduct the various courses which the needs of the high school pupils of Somerville require. In order that these courses may be well organized and thoroughly taught, there will be a head teacher in charge of each course, whose duty it will be to develop his course as efficiently as though he were in charge of it in a separate institution. Four courses have already been established by the school com- mittee. These arc the preparatory course, equivalent to the course formerly pursued in the Latin High School, an academic course, a com- mercial course, and a manual arts course. If ex- perience shows that other courses should be added to this list or substituted for any on it. such changes will be made. Every subject in every course will be developed in accordance with its importance in the course of which it is a part. In these ways the high school will seek to offer courses sufficiently differentiated to meet the needs of all the students and to give such instruc- tion in each of these courses as will best fit the student for the end he has in view. Our high school will have the benefit of cer- tain advantages which accrue to the general high school. Chief among these is the advantage which comes to the student through the possi- bility of sharing in all of the resources of the school. For example, students in the prepara- tory course may. under proper conditions, add to that course one n more subjects taken from some other course. Again, a student who has begun in one course and finds that lie has made a mis- take and ought to take some other course, can in a general school correct such mistake. In a way, the general high school, properly conducted, is to the student a place wherein he may find what life is to mean to him. Its variety of courses af- fords him an opportunity to so test himself that he may discover that for which he is best fitted. This thought should be uppermost in the minds of every pupil in our high school; especially prominent should it be in the minds of the mem- bers of the two lower classes. 1 he resources of a large school are open to them while yet there is time for them to revise the selection of the studies which they wish to pursue. To discover himself is the supreme task of a high school stu- dent. Such in brief is the plan and such arc the pur- poses of the organization of the Somerville- High School. A few words should be said con- cerning the two-session plan, which is a phase of administration due to overcrowding, but is not otherwise a part of the general scheme of the school. Certain consequences follow the two- session plan. One of these is the early beginning of the morning session, which necessitates a still earlier departure from home. Herein will be found the necessity for putting into effect a daily routine of conduct from which a habit most useful in after life will be formed. Let this thought be the present compensation for a present un- pleasant necessity. Probably more important than this hardship is the consideration which the early start from home makes it necessary for the high school student to give to getting an early morning meal. A corresponding consideration is required of the afternoon class, who leave home at varying hours, thereby losing the opportunity for a mid-day meal at home at a regular time. High school students should not neglect the care which these two circumstances demand of them. Good health and a sound body are the first essentials, to success. The youth who is planning hopefully and with enthusiasm for a career of usefulness must not neglect during the days of his high: school life the simple rules which, being observed,, will insure to him an adequate physical prepara- tion. In the school year opening before us the key word is opportunity. There is opportunity for the students to take advantage of the re- sources of a large high school organization, op- portunity for them to grow through the exercise of the powers of self-control and self-development. There will be opportunity also for the school to improve its processes and to give more effi- cient services to all its students. For the best, use of these opportunities students and faculty enthusiastically unite. Charles S.

He weighs 175 pounds, lifts 500 pounds with one hand, and has done HU) yards in eight seconds Hat. Coach Mahoney may use him in the backfield. but Smith plays all positions with equal dash and brilliancy. After watching Smith at practice one night we can safely state that he stands alone among the schoolboy players of this section. NOTICE.—Following the custom of the class of 1011, IN'. English I will give several well- known plays and operas during the coming year. These will be produced under the direction of the far and near famed impresarios, Cohen and Cohen, who will strive their utmost to make the coming season the most successful of their career. The tragedy. McElizabeth.” will be the first drama produced. Performances will be given every week day except Thursdav and Saturday in Room 34 E during October.

(By special correspondent). Last week ll—r—vrc. the scion of a prominent Somerville family, disappeared. He had been acting normally all the week. But from police in- vestigation it was learned that he had lost twenty cents. Whether or not this was the cause is not known.

'90. judge of the San Juan. Porto Rico, district court, died in San Juan June 15. Mr. Gill was born in Somerville February 13, 1S70, and his early edu- cation was obtained in this city. When bareiy past his twentieth year he received the degree of bachelor of arts from Harvard, with honors in classical languages. He was graduated from the Harvard Law School in 1X91. and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. and for four years en- gaged in legal work. In 1X97 he removed to New York, where he practiced law until 1901. In Oc- tober of that year the present governor of Porto Rico. Regis II. Post, was made secretary of Porto Rico. Mr. Gill was appointed assistant secretary of Porto Rico. In this capacity he remained three years, rendering invaluable aid to the gov- ernor. When the news of Judge Gill’s death was announced by the honorable judge. Mr. Cordove Davila, the court immediately adjourned its ses- sions until the following Monday. All over the city demonstrations of grief were seen, for Judge Gill had won the respect and love, not only of his employees and friends, but even of those whom he had sentenced to jail, for though inflexible in duty, the accused were regarded with pity and compassion. The body of Judge Gill lay in state at the Military hospital until it was sent to the United States.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 27 Ube Hvramicmcnts of the Hcw BtbUtic jficlb The decision of Mayor Burns to allow the new athletic field to be enclosed and admission charged to high school games came as a great relief to those who were worried as to the future of Somerville High athletics. The arrangements of the new field will now be the same as those for Broadway field in past years. This decision of the mayor was gained only by the earnest efforts of Mr. Avery and of the High School Athletic Association, which represented the wishes of all students of the school. Z k jfootball Coacb As is well known to everyone interested in the High School football team, the coach for 191.1 is Stephen H. Mahoney. Mahoney is a graduate of the Somerville Latin School, and is well known throughout the city. While at High School he played on the baseball nine for several years, and also played prominently on the football team of 1907. After graduating from the Latin School Mahoney entered Holy Cross, where he had no difficultv in making good in athletics. In 1909 he was at Boston College, and last year coached the ALKWIFE BROOK ATilLKTIC FIELD. Boston College High football team in a very suc- cessful season. He was always interested in Somerville High athletics, and after Coach White left the High School football squad without a leader in the final week of last November, Mahoney took charge, and in a few days brought the demoralized team into condition to give Rindge one of the hardest contests of the season. He also assisted Coach Dickinson in 1909. This year, with a large number of veteran play- ers back, Mahoney should be able to turn out «a successful eleven. 28 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR jFootball tLeam For the last month Coach Mahoney has had the football candidates hard at work at City field even- week-day afternoon. The largest number of play- ers never came over forty, and usually was nearer thirty, so that no cut has been made. Quite a number of the squad are football men of last fall, and the result should be a good eleven. Captain Garland, Doane, Dardis. Parks. Pitman, aim Cohen, all “S men, are back, and also York and Merrill. This year George or Pitman will play quarter- back. Garland, Dardis, Ellis, and Page will be the halfbacks, while Doane.

This number of the Radiator will go to press too early to permit of accurately picking a first team. The schedule has been arranged by Manager Whittaker, and is made up of twelve games. All but two games, those at Newton and Malden, will be played at Somerville. The dates are as fol- lows :— October 7—Cambridge Latin at City field. October 1 'Z—Brockton High at new athletic field.

Somerville lost an earnest and sincere worker for the good of high school athletics. Mr. Jones has held this position for many years, and the financial success of Somerville teams has been largely due to his careful administration of the athletic funds. Mr. Jones has always been con- scientious in the performance of his duties, al- though he has sometimes been criticised unjustly by people wlvo held ideas and opinions different from himself. He would not have given up the treasurership except that the added work in his new position as supervisor of manual arts de- manded more of his time. The Radiator wishes him the best success in his new position. KKgyaE KKjitXMHKSg Somerville EErims Cambridge TLatin, 12 to 3 On October 7 Somerville High won the first game of the season from Cambridge Latin by the score of 12 to 3. The game was played on City field, which was very wet and muddy from recent rains. This condition of the field caused much slipping, and end runs were almost impossible. Somerville’s new line showed signs of weakness during the first two periods, and the Cambridge backs readily broke through for gains. But in the second half affairs changed, and the Red and Blue line men held hard, often forcing their oppo- nents to kick. The Somerville backfield showed up well. Garland pulled off some end runs, ijoane hit the line for steady gains, and Dardis played a fast all-round game. Pitman and Parks changed places in the third period; both ran the team well. Cohen and York put up a good game in the line. For Cambridge Kimbcr did well, his drop kick from the thirty-yard line being worthy of mention. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 29 In the second half he was hurt and taken out. Green also was hurt, sustaining a bad gash on his forehead. Adams was disqualified for rough playing in the fourth period, and the resulting penalty put Somerville within easy scoring dis- tance. Roth teams used a large number of sub- stitutes throughout the game. Cambridge Latin was the first to tally. In the first period, after a series of rushes had brought the ball to Somerville’s thirty-yard line, K imber dropped the ball over the crossbar for the Can- tabs' only score. Somerville’s first touchdown came in the third quarter. .Parks kicked off to Cambridge, and the ball was run back twelve yards. Cambridge was unable to gain, and lost the ball on downs on their twenty-five-vard line. Garland went through for two yards. Doane gained, and Cambridge was penalized five yards for offside play. Pitman at- tempted to circle the end, but slipped and was downed for a loss. Doane hit the line for a five- yard gain. Pitman tried a forward pass, but again slipped and threw the ball as he fell. Cam- bridge secured it on her three-yard line. A cen- tre rush failed to gain, and on the next play Cowan kicked into the line. Somerville recovering the ball. Doane then rushed the ball across the line. After a punt-out Parks kicked an easy goal. Somerville scored again in the final quarter. The period opened with Cambridge in possession of the ball on their own four-yard line. They were unable to advance the ball by rushing, and punted to Garland, who ran back fifteen yards be- fore being downed. Here Adams was sent out for illegal use of hands, and the distance to the Cambridge goal was halved as the penalty. Gar- land then carried the ball around left end for the second touchdown, and Parks kicked the goal. The line-up:— SOM E R VILLE. CA M R RIDGE L ATI N. Townsend, Heffernan, l.e., r.e..

Norton is easily the best shortstop in the Suburban League, and was the unanimous choice for that position on the All-Interscholastic teams, picked by various newspapers. His brilliant all- round playing was largely responsible for the good showing made by the baseball team of last spring. Sweaters and “S's” have been awarded to thir- teen members and the manager of the 1011 base- ball team. The following are the names: W il- liams. Norton, Fallis, Parks, Whittaker. Knox, Laurie, Holmes, Townsend. Mitchell, Dickson, Donahue, O’Donoghue, and Coogan. A new feature of the last baseball season was the gift of two silver cups from Senator Rlanchard to players on the High School nine. The first cup, known as the Raxter cup. was awarded to the Somerville player with the highest batting aver- age in Suburban League games. Mitchell was the winner of this prize. His average was .353. 30 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The second cup, the Avery cup, went to the player liaving .the largest number of stolen bases to his credit. Norton led this contest, stealing seven bases in twelve league games. These cups were presented by Senator Blanchard at an outing and dinner which he gave to the team at Point Shirley on June 23. One of the most prominent among high school boys who have been playing ball this summer is Walter Whittaker. Whittaker has been pitching great ball for the fast Winchester nine during the vacation months, and out of fourteen games in which he pitched twelve were victories. Sporting Chat The football schedule looks good. Twilight practice in September and early October is something new to Somerville, but the team needs the Freshmen. The Somerville backfield ought to be one of the best in the state. Garland, Doane, Dardis, George, and Pitman, with a few good subs, ought to be a great combination. Remember that the November Radiator will have a full account of the dedication of the new athletic field. For those who think that the field is in an out-of-the-way place up near Arlington,’ we will say that it can be easily reached by car from almost every point in the city. Mr. Blodgett has been confirmed as the new teacher manager. The work which Mr. Jones did alone will in the future be done by two persons. Mr. Edwin P. Fitzgerald will be the new treasurer of the Athletic Association. The hockey season will be with us in a few short months, and already Manager Bourne is complet- ing an excellent schedule. Several good trips are in store for the team, among them Pom fret, South-boro. Milton, and Andover, 'flic league games will be played at the Boston Arena. The alumni are scheduled for a game on Christmas morning, and this match should be very interest- ing. Last year they held the high school to a tie.

M5 3 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS The Thanksgiving season, with all its associa- tions. has arrived. Young and old are awaiting with pleasure the opportunity to pay their respects to the turkey and the cranberry sauce; and the value of the wish bone has risen high above par. Let us not fail to catch the true spirit of Thanks- giving, nor forget those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Somerville people especially have this to be thankful for: They will have the pleasure of see- ing Somerville High school triumph over its old rival, Rindge, on the gridiron Thanksgiving morn- ing. � v . The football season is waning. Somerville High School is certainly to be congratulated upon the excellent showing its team has made this fall. Yet first-class teams from the school have been so common that we are apt to make light of this year’s success. The fact is that sufficient credit cannot be given to the members of the team for their hard, steady football work. The football season of 1911 is one of the most successful that Somerville has had for several years; and it is to be hoped that its close will be equally successful. r The Radiator management is much gratified at this year’s subscription list. The total monthly circulation, including cash sales, is about 1.000, an increase over last year. Encouraging as this is. however, out of 1.800 pupils, it would seem that the circulation ought still to be increased somewhat. r . Yc are glad to observe that debating is being renewed this year, with every prospect of success. The importance of debating as a means both of enjoyment and of mental development cannot be too strongly emphasized. There are few, if any. better means of improving the mind, quicken- ing the intellect, and acquiring self-possession than debating. It is by no means easy to stand before an audience and give clear, convincing, forcible arguments. Word battles serve to train the mind in catching quickly the important points, grasping the argument clearly, and criticising and refuting it. In many schools debating is offered in the regu- lar course of study. Though this is not the case here, the debating societies afford almost equal opportunity. The English High School Society has actively begun another year under the name of the S. I I. S. Debating Society. All pupils of the united school arc eligible to membership. The Lincoln Debating Club, whose membership is made up of boys only, is also again in operation. Membership in either of these organizations SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 would be profitable, most profitable, to you. stu- dent reader. Try it and see. •g it a •� Tlie exhibition of lively, healthy, snappy cheer- ing by the forty or more supporters who followed the Somerville team to Newton was a significant example of what might be produced in the way of good cheering on the part of Somerville High School’s supporters. This little band, although on foreign territory, went right at it with a vim that put the large number of Newton rooters “in the shade.” At one point of the game six S. H. S. Seniors got together and produced some cheers that had more life than the mumblings of the Somerville mass at the llrockton game on our home field. . r • The movement towards procuring a good school song that will be permanently established as such is certainly a good one, and it is to be hoped that the pupils will lend their zeal to this end. This school year, which marks the merging of the two old schools, is an appropriate one for the inauguration of a new song. r. . If our readers wish a really first-class publica- tion. they must see to it that we are furnished with several times as much material as we can publish. This will make careful selection pos- sible and insure general excellence. • . � � Attention is called to the paragraphs on page IT concerning the establishment of a school seal. . Massachusetts has always been a leader in im- portant industries. It is a lamentable fact that its reputation has been considerably marred by the degeneration of one of the most famous products of its industries—the Waltham watch. r •� Mr. Hosmer's report, which appears on page f 9 of this number, shows that the Radiator stands upon a satisfactory financial basis; and it also re- minds us of the good work that Mr. Hosmer is doing for the Radiator. . It is pleasing to note the interest and activity in connection with the orchestras.

Pearson, '12 D so, concluded Zachariah Peters, as he tipped back his chair to the limit, and carefully placed the tips of his fingers together, and so, Ezry, I've come to the conclusion that you’d oughtcr git hitched. Having delivered this final shot, Cap’n’' Peters lowered his chair to its accustomed basis, and gazed solemnly across the table at his companion. Cap’n Ezra Peters gasped. He was a thin, weazened little man, with a scared expression con- tinually lurking in his soft gray eyes. Willing to be led and seemingly unable to command men, people often wondered how Ezry1” won his title. To this day no one seems to know. Put his cousin Riah,” as he was familiarly called, smaller perhaps than Ezry, was a born leader, with hands and muscles toughened by contact with unruly sailors. And so, accustomed to obeying Riah, Ezry gasped. P-b-but----” he stammered. Now, Ezry, reproved Riah, sternly. You jest listen. Here you be, a man with money in the bank jest a-pilin’ up like leaves in autumn an' no- body to use none of it. An’ jest a-look at all the gels who’d be willin' to hcv’ ye. Willin’! Why, Ezry, some uv ’em would grab you like ye wuz a bargain if you’d jest give 'em the chance! Ezry, it’s your dooty to git hitched. P-b-but----” objected Ezry. Ezry! Riah raised a warning finger. You jest keep quiet till 1 git through. Now you hain't got no bad habits—don't drink only once in a dog’s age, an' then not enough to harm a spider; you don’t smoke nothin’ but your old corncob, none uv them smellin' segars for us, eh! Ezry boy?” Ezry shook his head mournfully,—mourn- fully because of his secret craving for segars,” which Riah regarded as an extravagancee. An’.” continued Riah, you always go to church.” Ezry nodded. He hated the sight of a church. Always in the house by nine o’clock,” the catechizer went on. Another nod. Of all the beauties of nature in which Ezry delighted, to him the most satisfying was the sight of the water by night, with the moon extending its shimmering pathway down the bay and the stars twinkling overhead. The mystery of the night always brought joy to Ezry’s heart. I hen you’ve got a little farm—might be better, of course” (Ezry started to protest, but was si- lenced by a wave of the hand), but nev’th'less it’ll do. M’m. I s'pose so, agreed Ezry, now nodding like a Chinese mandarin. “So what's to stop ye gittin’ hitched?” ques- tioned Riah. and, without waiting for an answer, proceeded: I’m jist a-goin’ to name the el’gibles, an' you c'n take your pick.” Riah drew his chair up to the table, and, rest- ing his elbows on the edge, pointed a long, thin forefinger at his victim. “bust, there’s Mandy Perkins. Now, Ezry, she’d make ye an elegant wife. Course she’s a mite younger'n you be—’bout twenty-five, hain’t she? an’ you be nigh outer sixty-five, but land! what difference would that make? An' she’s been to school up in Posting, so she's pretty well eddicated. An' she c’n cook a little, so Josh Allen says, 'n----.” No, no! Ezry protested. She puts on too many airs, 'n, anyway, she’s too young. An’ Josh Allen's sweet on her. Anyway, Riah, I can’t git hitched, cuz-----.” You’re a-goin to git hitched, Ezry, persisted Riah, grimly, so you might ez well be rec’nciled. Now to proceed to the bizness before the house. Riah was exceeedingly fond of using parliamen- tary phrases. “Ef Mandy won't do, there's Josh’s sister Hcpsy. Ezry! Hepsy's jest the feller for ye! She must be 'bout fifty, though she won't say she’s a day more 'n thutty-five. She’s got some money a-wastin’ away same’s you hev, an’ 'tween the two uv ye, ye might make lots uv ’prove- ments on that farm of yourn. She’s kep’ house fer Josh so long, that 1 reck'n there hain't nothin' she don’t know ’bout that. Now, why don’t you an' her git hitched?’’ “She’s too sour tempered, an’ ’sides, she’d never hev a gal ’round the house. You see, Riah, I al- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 39 ways planned to ’dopt a gal cf I got hitched, ex- plained Ezry. “Huh! snorted Riah. “You 'doptin' a gal. I’ll be gum swizzlcd!” 1 his classical expression had been acquired on Riah’s last trip to Boston, and he had planned to electrify his cousin by its use. but it fell on deaf ears. Ezry was indignant. “Why, he rea- soned, was it queer that lie should desire to adopt a girl? Surely others had done so, and would continue to do so : therefore, why not he? While Ezry was engaged in this train of thought, Riah was naming another “cl’gible. “There’s Marthy Pettingil, she as was Martliy Brown. She hain't sour tempered, an’ don’t put on airs, cuz she hain't got nothin’ to put on airs about, an’ she hain’t too young. Of course she’s a widder woman, but I hear'n tell that Bill Pettin- gil lef’ quite a tidy little sum in a bank up to Pos- ting. She hain't got no kids to be a-runnin’ all round your place, an’ she's a reel pious lady anTl go to church with ye. What’s your ’bjection to her. Ezry? Ezry was in a quandary. Try as he would, lie could conjure up no objections, save that he didn't want her. His head sank down into his coat collar. What should he say? But, after all. why should he attempt to say anything when he couldn’t get “hitched because-------. Suddenly he brightened. There’s one ye hain’t named, Riah. he said beamingly. What about Lizzie Bailey?” With a snort that caused Ezry to grasp the table in alarm, Riah jumped from his chair and thrashed round the room like a raging lion. Liz Bailey! Bang! went a chair. “Red-headed minx with those nine imps of satan a-hangin' to her skirts! Cr-a-sh!! and the milk pail rolled across the floor. “Pete Bailey’s widder!” “M-c-o-w!” cried the cat as she scurried out of Riah’s reach. F'got to name her? Not much! I)’y' think I d let you an’ her git hitched? She hain’t got no money, nor no farm, nor no nothin'! Ain’t no good at all 'ccpt to cook an’ keep house. An’ them kids of hern an' Pete’s! Oh, Lord! Anyhow, Ezry, she wouldn’t have ye, gazing triumphantly at his cowed cousin. Indignantly Ezry protested. “Yes, she would, too, Riah. She’d hcv me jest as quick as anyone, cuz-----.’’ I tell ye she wouldn’t,” shouted Riah, pounding his heavy fist upon the table, which trembled on its rather unsteady legs. I know she wouldn't hcv ye, cuz I ast her for myself! Ezry’s mouth flew open, and his eyes grew big. You ast Liz to git hitched?” he faltered. Yes,” roared Riah, “ast her last month, an' she up an' sassed me. Now do you think she’d hev you, you little shrimp?” Ezry looked up apologetically. “I-I guess so!” he answered bravely. Riah glared at his cousin. Jest you a-try it. an’ git sassed fer your pains. Shc’d-she'd.” and lie gulped in anger. Then suddenly, “Where be you a-goin'r” for Ezry was stealthily edging toward the door. At the sound of Riah’s voice he halted as if shot. Why-why-er-it's a quarter uv ' nine, he ex- plained with his hand on the knob. Don't you dare to step foot out of that ’ere door till you tell me who you’ll git hitched to,” commanded the tyrant grimly. Well-er-cr-well. Riah. in desperation, I can't git hitched. You can. an’ you will!” Ezry quietly turned the door knob and opened the door a crack. Riah. he persisted, L can't git hitched now, cuz me an' Lizzie Bailey wuz hitched yesterday afternoon, an’-an’----, g’night,” and the little sailor dashed out into the darkness. Riah stopped, glued to the floor. Mis jaw dropped. Suddenly he felt limp and weak, and dropped into a nearby chair. All at once his rioted feelings found expression. Well, 1 am gum swizzlcd! 40 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “H� fc a%ittle Gbilt SballXeab ftbem” 36v Ella E. Sullivan, T2 was a cold, dreary evening in De- cember. All day the wind bad sighed mournfully through the bare treetops, and now snow had begun to fall. The few passers-by clasped their wraps more closely about them as they hurried on. Down in the poorest section of the city, in- habited chiefly by the mill hands, stood a row of rickety , forlorn-iooking tenement houses. On the toj) floor of one of these houses, in a room which bespoke the direst poverty, sat a woman with her head bowed in her hands. Through a narrow opening that served as a window the last glimmer of the fast-fading twilight entered the room, falling upon the bowed form. For a long time the woman sat silent. I hen she raised her face, and her lips moved as if in prayer. Margaret Ashton’s future loomed hopeless be- fore her. That very day she had been dismissed from the mill, told that her services were no longer required. Her place was to be taken by a younger, stronger worker. Her weekly pay had, to be sure, been a mere pittance, but, small as it was. it had been sufficient to shelter and feed her. Now, broken in health and spirits, she had not the courage to seek new employment. There seemed to be nothing for her to do save go to the poorhouse, and her pride rebelled at the thought. Ah! There was one other alternative. But could she avail herself of it? Xo. She had given her promise and must abide by it. With a deep sigh, she turned to the one object in the room worth noticing, the portrait of a beautiful child about five years old. When but a young girl. Margaret Ashton had been left an orphan. With no relatives and little money, she had begun her struggle with the world. In a short space of time she had been wooed and wed by John Ashton, a poor young artist, who, like herself, had neither kith nor kin. For a time all went well, then the artist died, leav- ing Margaret and her child, Rose, alone. Once more the young mother faced the world. But she was not strong. She could earn but little. For herself she did not care; but her heart almost broke as she saw her frail, beautiful baby girl suffering from poverty. Then there had come a moment when all the mother love in her was put to the test. A very wealthy lady had seen the child and had been strongly attracted to her. She offered to adopt Rose and to bring her up as her own daughter; but only on condition that the mother surrender all claim and promise never to seek her. For the child’s sake the mother made the great sacrifice. I he new mother had had the child’s picture painted and sent to Margaret. For years Mar- garet had never heard of her daughter, until she chanced to read in the paper an account of her wedding. About two weeks before the mill had been sold, and the new owner had moved into the beautiful house cm the hill. One evening, on her way home from work, Margaret had caught a glimpse of him with his wife and child. She had needed all of her strength to keep from fainting. For the wife was her own daughter! Though years had passed, she recognized her at once. In her cold, gloomy room, Margaret thought of the past, and gazed at the portrait till darkness hid the beloved features from view. Slowly she arose, and. wrapping her worn shawl about herself, went out of the house to the little store a few streets away, where she pur- chased some bread and wood. As she passed along the dark street, she heard a child sobbing. Soon she distinguished a little form without hat or coat, wet and chilled by the snow, leaning against a fence. After vainly trying to find out from the child who she was, Margaret took off her own shawl, wrapped it around her, and carried her as quickly as possible to her room. Laying the child gently on the bed, she swiftly made a fire and lighted a candle. Then she turned again to the child. The features seemed familiar, and suddenly she recog- nized the new mill owner’s little daughter. Her own grandchild! She did what she could for her, but the baby was becoming very feverish. Calling to one of her neighbors. Margaret asked her to send for a doctor and to notify the child’s parents. It was not long before they appeared, the father and mother stricken with grief at the condition of their little daughter. She had in some way es- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 4i caped from her nurse and had wandered out into the snow. The doctor would not allow her to be moved, and for many hours the little life was despaired of. But with the best of care, the crisis was passed, and baby Helen lived. Up to that time the parents had been too absorbed to take much notice of their surroundings. Now they turned to Margaret. At that moment Rose’s eye rested on her own picture hanging on the wall. THts Xoss J8v? IRutb A faint memory of her early childhood, which had been haunting her ever since she had entered the room, rose before her. Some mysterious feeling within her seemed to draw her to that lonely woman opposite. Surely something must be wrong. She had always been told that her own mother was dead. But—with a soft cry of “Mother!” the two were locked in each other’s arms. IRecovercfc Aifftin, '12 MMY was disturbed. His mother and father used to say that Tommy never would get excited over any- thing, much to their sorrow; but to- day Tommy certainly was disturbed. Anyone not knowing Tommy might have thought him crazy. There he was, walking madly about in his own little room, stamping his feet, only stopping long enough to make faces at himself in the mirror. He did not look hand- some: no wonder he was unhappy! No wonder nobody loved him! No wonder-------------. He stopped short, out of breath at the very thought of it! It was that which was almost breaking his heart. He began to calm himself enough to think about it all—how she. his golden-haired Fairy Vision, had suddenly spurned him. Oh! It was so aggravating! lie could see her still, walking home from school with George, his best friend, laughing gayly, and handing him her books to carry; and those big, blue eyes which made him think of heaven every time he looked into them: those white teeth which gleamed like the fairest of pearls. But that which made his heart ache the most was the cool, proud glance with which she had regarded him. and the angelic smile which she gave George in farewell! If he ever felt like seeing a big black and blue spot around his friend’s eye. he felt it that moment. He would have been in his glory if he could have pulled out two of George’s front teeth! He sauntered out of the house, and down the street, trying to retain a natural expression upon his little face, because people would stare at him so, which was most uncomfortable; and he won- dered if his face was dirty. He raised his eyes unconsciously, and found himself standing before Her home. It was some consolation to his trou- bled heart to think that it did not turn up its nose at him. Just then a door opened, and out stepped a little maid of seven—an angel indeed! Tommy be- gan to feel nervous, and to wonder if she would notice him. He watched her every movement. Suddenly, as with an apprehension of immediate danger, she glanced in his direction. Tommy’s heart jumped, but all to no advantage; instantly she turned her golden head and marched down the street, swinging her stiff little skirts to and fro. As they swung back and forth, they seemed to say to Tommy: We don’t notice common folks!” That night Tommy went home more disturbed and crestfallen than ever before. Things seemed to be growing blacker for him. lie began to wish he had never been born! When he started for school the next morning the sun was shining brighter than lie had ever seen it. and he wondered if it ever had troubles such as his. Things didn’t look quite so badly this morning, and he made a resolution to do his best in school, and perhaps in that way to regain Her favor. She was there, as usual. Her bright, rosy cheeks looked rosier than ever, and her blue eyes bluer. The arithmetic class was called. His Fairy Vision arose and took her place with the others, and he remained in his seat, his eyes following her closely. The teacher questioned all of the pupils in turn. Tommy suddenly heard Her name pro- nounced. 42 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Eileen, can you give me the product of nine times nine? There was an awful silence. Tommy began to feel nervous again: he could not tell why even if it had been to save his own life. Iiis Fairy Vision was losing courage: he could see her little hands fingering her tiny skirts nervously. Her eyes were cast to the floor in her embarrassment, but. raising them, she gave one quick, beseeching glance at Tommy. That was enough. Suddenly the teacher's attention was at- tracted in Tommy's direction; pencils and books were dropping right and left, and Tommy's curly brown head appeared just over the top of his desk cover. He was whispering and com- municating by words and signs to those around him as though his life depended upon it. Thomas—Thomas Meredith! What are you do- ing! Put down your desk cover, and come here to me! The teacher was sincerely angry. Tommy obeyed instantly. As he walked down the aisle, he glanced toward his Vision. There she stood.—her face a perfect transfiguration, ex- pressing love and gratitude which warmed Tommy's heart for many years to come. At the close of school that day. as Tommy started homeward, his happiness fairly shining on his round face, a little figure ran down the path behind him. and touched him gently on the arm. Oh. Tommy—Tommy, you're so good! I didn't know it. Tommy, and—and you saved me! Tommy did not reply instantly, so full was his cup of happiness. The child glanced shyly up into his face. Tommy—do—do you like me?” Tommy gazed at her in admiration for one mo- ment. and then, taking her books in one hand, and her own little white hand in his other, he ex- claimed fervently: You just bet! travels ZEbrougb tbe HXIleet .16 v Xucile S. 'PARTING from the city of Boston by railway, we pass through the length of Massachusetts from east to west, until we arrive at Hoosac, where the famous tunnel of that name is situ- ated. This remarkable excavation, live miles long, was cut through the solid rock of Hoosac mountain, at a cost of twenty years of labor and $1(� ,000.000. to facilitate transportation between Boston and the West. By a continuous day’s journey from Boston, we reach Niagara late at night. In the midst of the falls is Goat Island, dividing them into two un- equal parts, one of which forms the American and the other the Horseshoe Fall, so called from its shape. As we gaze upon this remarkable ex- hibition of natural force, a column of vapor rises 200 feet above the avalanche of waters, white as snow, where it is absorbed into the skies, the base being wreathed with perpetual rainbows. Long before we reached the falls we heard the mighty roar which the Indians call the cataract Niagara, or the thunder of the waters.” On leaving here, we cross the river by a suspension bridge, which from a distance looks like a mere spider’s web. Over this the cars move slowly, affording a superb view of the falls and of the awful chasm below. jHarfcv?, M2 After a day and night in the cars, Chicago, the metropolis of Illinois, is reached. This city, at first an Indian settlement, is now the centre of a railroad system embracing over fifteen important trunk lines, forming the largest grain, lumber, and livestock market in the world. Over 100,- 000.000 bushels of grain have passed through its elevators in a twelve-month. ()n our way westward we stop for a day at Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah. The peculiar people who have established themselves here have, by industry and a commercial system of irri- gati; n. brought the entire valley to a degree of fertility unsurpassed by the same number of square miles on this continent. No portrait of the Mormons who inhabit the place will prove a likeness which does not clearly depict their two- fold features, namely, their thrift and their iniquity. Contact with a truer condition of civili- zation. and the enforcement of the United States laws, are slowly, but it is believed surely, reduc- ing the numbers of the self-entitled “saints.” From Utah, two days and a night passed in the cars will take us over the (� 00 intervening miles to San Francisco. The route passes through the Sierra Nevada mountains, presenting scenery which recalls the grand gorges and snow-clad peaks of Switzerland, characterized by deep can- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 43 yons, lofty wooded elevations, and precipitous declivities. At several railway stations speci- mens of the Indians are seen lazily sunning them- selves in picturesque groups. The men are dirty, besmeared with yellow ochre and vermilion, their dress consisting of loose flannel blankets and deer-skin leggings, their rude hats decked with eagle feathers. The women arc wrapped in striped blankets, and wear red flannel leggings, both sexes being furnished with buck-skin moc- casins. San Francisco, the metropolis of California, owes its first popular attraction to the discovery of gold within its borders in 1841). The Cliff Mouse, situated four or five miles from the centre of the city, is a favorite pleasure resort of the population. It stands on a bluff of the Pacific shore, affording an ocean view limited only by the power of the human vision. Opposite. 300 yards from the shore, there rises abruptly out of the sea. from a depth of many fathoms, a rough, precipi- tous rock sixty or seventy feet in height, present- ing about an acre of surface. Sea lions come out of the water in large numbers to sun themselves on this rock. There is no city in the world, per- haps. where there arc so many places to go in a day. or a day and night, or from Saturday night until Monday morning. In that time, any one f all the climates of which California is capable may be found, with a total change of scene at each lo- cality. Chinatown is a locality every one has heard of. It is the only instance of its kind, though other cities have such things. Here is the actual life, with all the vices and few of the virtues, of tiiat fast-decaying race whose country is being cut into slices and parcelled out by the nations of Europe. Leaving San Francisco and going south, we come to the Sierra Xevadas again. Scattered here and there amidst these mountains and on their flanks arc some of the scenic wonders of the world. Xo one pretends that there is elsewhere a scene to equal Yosemite. a valley eight miles in length and very narrow, fenced by granite walls 3.oi: ) to 3.000 feet high, over which pour four streams of water, falling 400 to 2,GOO feet, fifteen times the height of Niagara. In this valley, the Yosemite. there are forests which produce giant trees of over 300 feet in height and over thirty feet in diameter. Nestling beside the roadways, there arc seen here and there pale wild flowers, surrounded by vigorous ferns and creeping vines, showing that even here Nature has her poetic moods. Birds almost entirely disappear at these alti- tudes. preferring the more genial atmosphere of the plains, though now and then an eagle is seen to swoop gracefully from the top of some lonely pine, and sail with unmoving wings far away across the depth of the valley until hidden by the windings of the gorge. Even the presence of this proud bird but serves to emphasize the loneliness of these silent heights. TIbe Sarfcine 1Tnt ustn of flftame By? Z. Ik. jforbes, T4 if rT5T|EW people know that the sardine in- } r dustry America, carried on fI Hrgely in Maine, i- one of the im- portant industries of the United States. One would readily believe it if he visited the many towns of Maine engaged in canning the American sardines or herring. There are two factories in the town of Brook- lin that together pack about 100.000 or more cans a day. in a season which lasts from the first of Mas till the last of November. 'I'he herring arc caught in weirs, a sort of trap. These weirs are made of tall birch trees stuck into the mud and nailed against a huge frame, so that they form a right angle. At the vertex of the angle is a place enclosed with a net. in which the fish arc kept after being taken from the weir. Swimming in schools, the fish coming to these weirs will not go through the small spaces be- tween the trees, but gradually work down to the vertex, where they stay until low tide, when they are seined and put into the enclosed pound. Other fish, such as hake. cod. flounders, smelts, and occasionally a shark or a dog-fish, are caught with the herring. One man owning several weirs earned $1.500 in two days, and nearly every day makes at least a hundred dollars. He is now a very rich man. 44 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR and intends to retire, as he lias been in the busi- ness for several years. This sounds almost im- probable, but it is nevertheless true. Large motor boats fifty feet long carry the fish to the factory, two or three hundred bushels at a time, and larger boats carry even three or four tons of tlu sc small fish. At the factory an endless bucket chain is low- ered into the hold of the boat, carrying the fish to a chute of running water, where they are thor- oughly washed. From this chute they go onto another endless chain upstairs to a flaking machine, which spreads the fish, all lying one way, on flakes or iron frames, about two by four feet. All of tlje flakes are in turn placed in large frames which hold twenty-four flakes. All of this work used to be done by hand, but modern machinery takes the place of it. These large frames arc pushed into a steam- ing room, where the fish are steamed and boiled for a little over ten minutes. They are then pushed over a huge coal fire which bakes the fish to almost a fried condition. Afterwards they are cooled by air from a large fan. Two elevators lower the fish into the packing room below. At this room the women and girl packers scream some inarticulate cry. and a boy swiftly brings a flake of fish to her, and takes the old flake back, stopping only long enough to dump the fish heads into a box. As the fish are [Continued on page 51.] «-e- 'IV the Pupils of Somerville High School:— I wonder how many readers of the Radiatok attended the Somerville-Maiden football game on November I? Those of you who did could not fail to be impressed with the splendid exhibition of cheering which the Malden supporters gave. Particularly did their pyrotcchnical imitation ex- cite admiration and envy among the Somer- ville-ites. How did they do it? Why can't we cheer like that? Those are the ciuestions which have been asked continually since the game. Let us consider first this question: How did they do it? It is easily answered. Simply by energetic, con- centrated. organized work. That one word, work. is the keynote of Malden’s success. And a success it was. for I doubt if there arc many who ever heard a more inspiring set of cheers than were given by the Malden boys and girls. Then, as to the second question: “Why can’t we do it? In speaking with one of our cheer leaders. I learned that practically all of Somer- ville’s support comes from the girls. Now, at Malden, the central section of their stand was a solid mass of boys, who formed the basis on which the leaders worked. It is impossible to gain the wished-for effect without the depth and volume which the boys' voices afford. Yet we cannot do without the girls. So we must have the co- operation of the boys and girls. Secondly, comes again the word “work.” Practice makes perfect ; therefore, we must, as a body, practice cheering for our games. Practice regularly; practice together. Such effects as that shrill, piercing whistle produced cannot be gained by only one trial. Keep practicing. So. with organized work, we can cheer like that. Of all the surrounding suburban cities, with the exception of Cambridge, Somerville has the numbers, and there should be no excuse for the statement which is made, that Somerville has poorer cheering than any of her rivals. And at this point a suggestion occurs to my mind. Why not provide a cheer leader for the girls from their own numbers? Perhaps this idea strikes you. to speak mildly, as decidedly novel. Yet it has been tried with great success in many schools. On last June 17. in the Somervillc- Medford baseball game, the most energetic of Medford’s cheer leaders was chosen from among the girls. And. with no disparagement to the boys, she certainly secured results. In several of SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 45 the co-educational schools, such as Dean Academy in Franklin, Mass., it is an established custom that one leader shall be a girl. Class of 1012, why should you not establish a precedent? Now the football season is practically over, but there will be baseball games next spring. So, think these things over, and meanwhile attend the Rindgc game on Thanksgiving Day, and cheer, cheer, cheer! Megaphone.' Xcttcvs to a jfresbman IRumber Cwo Dear Freshman:— Two spacious months have come and gone. Von have made vour debut as a member of the High School. Two months ago you commenced your career with a clean record. How does your record stand to-day? That is an ideal question for each and every Freshman to ask himself. By this time, certainly, you are placing your own footsteps on one of two paths. The first path leads to graduation, with an excellent prospect for success in after life. The second leads to failure, the leaving of school, and mighty poor prospects for a prosperous future. Therefore, may I subjnit a second valuable question to you: What path are you taking? Take the former if you haven’t already. The only way to escape losing the way of this road is. however, to study each day. Don’t study hard one week and get all tired out. Then you will be liable to take a vaca- tion during the next week. Graduation from any secondary institution in the country will not be accomplished without the most sincere efforts of the scholar. I have nearly reached the top of the ladder, and I can assure you that the journey is not made always under a clear sky. If you’ve only made a fair showing during the past two months, brace up. Strive to lead your class, and. with this goal in view, there isn’t the slightest fear of failure in your particular course. I mentioned in my last letter about working to- gether with vour instructor. Become acquainted with cverv teacher in the school. Don t be timid. These instructors are not judges condemning you to death. They are your friends. I hey are. without exception, a group of individuals that take a personal interest in the pupil that perse- veres. These teachers may seem cranky at times. Could you possiblv blame them for becoming in- sane? You have been here long enough to be- come thoroughly acquainted with the disorder of some divisions. Just place yourself in your in- structor’s shoes. Just endeavor for forty min- utes to teach a whole division about the life of Caesar, or some other interesting subject. What do they care about Caesar? They are thinking about the football game that occurs next Satur- day. Don’t be deceived. The instructors cannot help feeling impatient when their handicap is so great. Think of the other fellow, is a splendid saying for the boy that loves mischief, and cer- tainly no bov loves mischief better than a Fresh- man. Don’t be the one to commence a rough- house. 'l'rv to be the one to stop it. I don’t mean by that to act like a minister or a “goody- good. Use your influence in a quiet way. Don’t make your fellow-pupils ashamed to lie seen talk- ing with you because of your overwhelming good- ness. Be a jolly good fellow, but don’t be too jolly nor too good. Be a sport. I don’t mean by that a dude. Let that be your last ambition in your school life. Fellow-pupils will far sooner make fun of the fel- low wearing the socks that nearly “speak for themselves. and the tics that make even the bright sun a shadow, than they will criticise the fellow with a tinge of poverty about his clothing. By sport I mean don’t be afraid of yourseif. Be proud to stand up for your school. Strive to become a man that will make the Somerville High School proud of you in return. Don’t sniff when you hear these bits of advice. Some of the things which I have written may not appeal to you. You may think me a preacher myself, but if you ever saw me or knew of me. I am quite sure that you would agree that the word minister could never be associated with Your friend. Senior. 46 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR IRUe m the ffiachftelb 16y 1014 The football team' in Mudville was the pride of all the town, It was managed by an expert and captained by Bill Brown; And they played the leading school team, and battled to the end. Their goal line was not crossed at all, their line would not unbend. And they one and all were heroes, these members of the ’leven, And they won each single battle to the number ten and seven; And they were all the pride in Mudville at this time, And they practiced for the final game with heart that was sublime. Now Riley was the quarterback of this eleven strong. For he’d made the goals and touchdowns all the season long; So a hero now was Riley, and he lived up to the name, And nothing stood between him and the terres- trial hall of fame. And fast the day approached on which the last game should be played, The stands were early crowded, and the colors did not fade; The cheers of many thousands echoed out across the field, , Distinct the name of “Riley” on the banners was revealed. And then the game was started, and the lines in scrimmage met, The Mudville team could not crash through a meagre gain to get; They punted and they rushed the ball, and Riley played his best. Nor could lie get the ball up any farther than the rest. 'Fill in a moment a mighty hole the enemy rushed through, And cleared the line and speeded on toward the hero of the blue! The moment was intensified, the stands had ceased to cheer, Riley ground his teeth and tackled without fear; But his eye misjudged the distance, and the man kept on his run. The goal they failed to kick just as the half was done. All through the intermission Riley's name the stands did hiss, They cheered the other warriors, for they gave no thanks or bliss. The game it soon continued; Riley made a mighty gain, For a Hush of heating anger was surging through his brain. I he stands they shouted “Rotten!” and there came a dull refrain, For the score was five to nothing, with the five a mighty stain; The Mudville team was slowly losing. They had lost their spirit brave, And the other line was gaining, for the Mudville line did cave. The enemy grew in confidence, they grew jn strength and might. They tried a modern forward—threw it far toward the right. And it sped swiftly onward, a spiral straight and true, But up jumped mighty Riley and grabbed it for the blue. He gathered himself quickly, threw a straight arm out before, And then he plunged and jumped ahead, and up the field he tore; He dodged eleven tacklers, and flew across the line. And he kicked a goal superbly, and the stands all echoed “Fine!” And defeat was not among them, for the Mudville team had won, And triumph with the eagle screamed before the day was done. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 47 School News Competition for iRcw School Sons Somerville High wants a new song, a good one. What more need be said? Wouldn't you like to be the author of the words of the song that will in the future be the regular school song? You have the chance. For it is open to compe- tition by any person connected with the school, under the following conditions:— The words must fit the air of The Rattle Hymn of the Republic. upon which the present song, “Somervilla, is based. The chorus of Somervilla will be retained as the chorus of the new song. Competition will be closed after January 1. 1912. Competent judges, appointed by the school au- thorities, will decide. ------------ «-•.+-� . ------- TLwo Orchestras from the School The prospects of the school orchestra this year are exceptionally bright. Those in charge con- sider the material very promising, and look for- ward to a banner year for the Somerville High School orchestra. Weekly rehearsals are being held in the hall. Though the present members of the orchestra arc doing excellently, there is need of more in- struments of all kinds, chiefly violins and a flute. A girl cornetist would also be a valuable addition 'Hie chief complaint is that not enough of the Seniors arc members of the orchestra. I he mem- bership is solicited of all. particularly Seniors, who play any musical instrument. Musically-inclined Freshmen have shown this year an enterprising spirit not common to new- comers in the school, for a Freshman orchestra has already been in existence several weeks. Ibis is certainly commendable in the T reshies, and deserves encouragement. —-------------------- School Seal Competition The new school seal will be made from de- signs submitted by the students of the high school, graduates, and others connected with the school. All designs submitted should be executed on a large scale, three inches in diameter, and in light and shade, to clearly indicate detail. If a particu- lar color is to be used, indicate it in the design. Historic subjects, local features, or school symbols will be acceptable in the design. All designs are to be numbered, and accom- panied by a similarly numbered envelope, sealed, with the competitor’s name enclosed. Competent judges will be appointed by the school authorities. The date of closing competition to be an- nounced later. ------------------------------ Xincoln Debating Society The Lincoln Debating Society has entered upon the third year of its existence. The following were elected last May to hold office this year: President. Eric Johnson; vice- president. Edwin O’Brien: secretary. Edward Sinclair.

Ube Sardine fndustrg offlDatne [Continued from page 41.] packed, the heads are cut off on the sharp edges of the cans. The larger fish are cut by scissors and packed in larger cans partly filled with mus- tard. Some of the women make $1 a day, pro- viding they work ten hours a day. The uncovered cans of fish are put 100 cans in a tray, and this tray is put under a tank, and a certain amount of cotton-seed oil automatically fills the remaining spaces in the cans. The next process is sealing bv machinery, which is to me one of the most interesting processes of canning. The machines are made almost exclusively by the Adriance Machine Company of Brooklyn, X. V. They do not sell these machines, but lease them for an unlimited time for the sum of $500: this includes two chucks, or can cover fitters. Extra chucks may be obtained for $30 apiece, and nearly every factory needs three more chucks, so that it actually costs the lessee about $500, while it only costs the company about $100 to make the machine. When a firm leases a machine they also sign a contract to use in it cans made only by the Ameri- can Can Company. These companies arc similar to the United Shoe Machine Company. The cans are fed onto an endless belt by two men. As the cans travel along, the covers are pressed down tightly and then run under rollers, which makes the edge of the cover overlap the edge of the can. The' next scries of rollers com- press the two edges tightly together. They (the cans) are then pushed out into a bushel basket by the next can which comes from the belt. Although the cans are perfectly air-tight, the fish in them will not keep in good condition, so they are put in a huge retort and boiled for a little over two hours; this also kills any germs that may be in the can. Sawdust is then thrown on the cans, which readily absorbs the remaining grease and oil.

We wish to introduce to the members of this class Arthur Richardson, the eminent physicist. He is a great scholar, and it is rumored that he is to receive the Xobel prize in physics, which is given to the one who has done most for that sci- ence.

He is also the builder of the largest gasoline engine in the world, which he is now installing in his motor boat. The engine is capable of driving a boat at the rate of thirty-five knots per hour.

Long before o'clock people had begun to arrive, and the unreserved seats were filled at once. The crowd then lined up, six to ten deep, back of the wooden fences around the field and wherever else a view point could be secured. The holders of reserved seats and people in auto- mobiles came last. There was a large parking space for vehicles around the sides of the grid- iron. and the automobile accommodations were excellent. Meanwhile the United Shoe Machinery Com- pany's band furnished music, and during the game played many popular pieces, which the crowd sang with great enjoyment. A great crowd of Somerville rooters, both girls and boys, filled up the cheering section, and the many colors and flags made the grand stand present a handsome appearance. The policing of the grounds was under the care of Chief Kendall, and the immense crowd, well over 10,000 people, was kept off the gridiron all through the game. The first event on the programme was the flag raising, which took place just outside the north- ern end of the gridiron. Chief Kendall led the procession from the stands to the flag pole, closely followed by Mayor Burns. City Engineer Bailey, the board of aldermen, and the Somerville and Brockton teams. Here Mr. Bailey, who had charge of the construction of the field, had the honor of releasing to the breeze a new silk flag, and the band burst forth into “The Star-Spangled Banner, amid applause from the crowd. 1 he flag-raising partv then marched back across the field, and the teams took their places upon the gridiron. Mayor Burns placed the ball in the proper position in the centre of the field, and Mc- Ginchey. of Brockton, kicked off to Pitman, who- was downed at once. FIRST PERIOD. First down for Somerville on her twenty-five- yard line. (.iarland made five yards around left end. and Pitman added three more. Here calamity befell the spectators on the sidelines nearest Alewifc brook. The wooden fence, strung with wire, was altogether too weak to withstand the great weight against it. and with a crash it broke, hurling people in all directions. As Wallace Goldsmith remarked: It wasn’t ex- pected that the fence would hold seven tons to the square foot, and it didn’t. Order was restored at length by transferring a large number of policemen and three mounted “cops to that side of the gridiron. Here Garland attempted an onside kick to the Somerville forty-five-yard line, and Brockton se- cured the ball. Brockton failed to gain and punted to Dardis, who ran back twelve yards. Garland went around end for twenty-five yards, and Doanc hit the line for three more. Somer- ville was penalized five yards. A forward pass, from Garland to Doane was not completed, and Bob punted to Brockton. Brockton was penal- ized and was unable to gain. Somerville was. penalized five yards. Thompson went through the Red and Blue line for a gain, but fumbled,, and Somerville recovered the ball. Bill Parks went around end for twenty-five yards, but Som- erville was penalized again, and the play did not count. Garland made up eight yards and then- punted to Brockton. Brockton was penalized fifteen yards, and tried an onside kick, Somerville recovering the ball. Two centre rushes failed to gain, and Somerville was again penalized. Gar- land punted to Brockton’s forty-five-yard line just as the period ended. SECOND PERIOD. First down for Brockton on her forty-five-yard line. Two rushes gained only seven yards, and 6 2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Brockton punted to Pitman, who ran the ball back thirty yards. The next play was a loss, and Som- erville was penalized five yards. A forward pass was intercepted, and it was Brockton's ball, first down. The visiters failed to gain, and punted to Dardis. who fumbled, and Brockton recovered the ball. Brockton made first down in three rushes, but then Somerville held and Brockton punted, an ther fumble allowing them to secure the ball. Somerville was penalized ten yards. After two small gains. Thompson tried a field goal, but Parks broke through, blocking the kick, and Brockton recovered the ball ten yards back. Brockton was penalized five yards, and. failing to gain, .minted to Somerville as the whistle blew, ending the half. THIRD PERIOD. Somerville kicked off to Brockton's twenty- yard line. A forward pass gained ground, and a centre rush added three yards. Brockton then punted to Garland, who ran the ball in for twenty yards, and on the next play added twenty-five vards more. A centre rush failed to gain, but I )oane then carried the ball around right end for a touchdown. Parks kicked the goal. Somerville kicked off to Brockton’s twenty- eight-yard line. The visitors were unable to make first down, and punted to Garland, who ran back thirty-five yards. Bob went through the line again for five yards, and Pitman made first down. Doane broke through for a gain, but neither Parks nor Gar- land could secure the necessary distance, and Somerville lost the ball on downs. Brockton could not gain, and kicked to Pitman, who. with great interference, ran back twenty-five yards. Bob gained three yards. A forward pass. Pitman to Doane. hit the ground, and on a second at- tempt was intercepted, and the ball was in Brock- ton's possession on their twenty-five-yard line. The visitors punted to.the centre of the field just as the period closed. FOURTH PERIOD. Somerville’s ball on the fifty-five-yard line. Parks went around end for twenty yards, and Gar- land went through the line for twelve yards more. Pitman was nailed for a loss, and next Brockton recovered the ball on an intercepted forward pass. Brockton tried the centre of the line for five yards, and then successfully worked an onsidc kick. The Somerville line held, and Brockton punted to Parks. Garland was unable to gain, and an incompleted forward pass made third down. Bob punted to Brockton, and again the visitors could not gain, and kicked to Pitman, who ran back over thirty yards. The next play failed to gain, and Somerville was penalized fif- teen yards for having twelve men on the field. An incompleted forward pass added a down, and Garland punted to the Brockton five-yard line just as the whistle ended the game. The game, especially in the first period, was overstocked with penalties, which ruined Somer- ville's chances of running up a big score. Som- erville’s superiority over Brockton was greater than the final score showed. Brockton made first down only once. The forward pass was a decided failure for Somerville, as it was not worked suc- cessfully once. For Somerville. Doane did the best work, his tackling being hard and sure, lie was also able to go through the Brockton line for steady gains. Garland. Parks, and Pitman were also conspicu- ous for their playing. Dunham. McGlinchev. and Sharkey played well for Brockton. The sum- mary :— SOM E R VILLE. B R OCR TON. Townsend (Dardis). l.e...r.e.. Dunham (O'Byrne) York (Merrill), l.t..............r.t..

The game was supposed to be played at City Field, by order of Mr. Bailey, but at the last moment he changed his mind and informed Manager Whittaker that the team might use the new grounds. As no ar- rangements to charge admission had been made, the game was free to the public, and a good-sized crowd turned out. Between the halves the man- ager and his assistant passed the hat and deftly separated the spectators from their small change. The Somerville team put up a great game, but did not really get started until the final period. Somerville made one touchdown in the first pe- riod. but was unable to score again until the last quarter, when three touchdowns were secured. During the game Coach Mahoney used a large number of substitutes, who showed up well. Dardis was changed from halfback to end. and Ellis and Leland were tried in the backfield. Both Doane and Townsend were injured, but while Doane was able to continue in the game, Townsend was compelled to give up football for three weeks, 'flic summary:— SOMERVILLE HIGH. M. L T., 1011.

October 21. over 2,000 royal rooters of both teams turned out in a driz- zling rain and watched Somerville defeat Waltham at the new field by the score of 0 to (). The grid- iron was like a swamp, and the water splashed up as often as the players set foot on the ground. I'ndcr these conditions good football could not be expected, but, nevertheless, there were not many fumbles, and the contest was close from start to finish. Because of the bad weather many thought that the game would be postponed, but this was im- possible because of the arrangements already made, and also because the Somerville schedule had no open Saturday dates. If the day had been good, probably 10,000 people would have been on hand. The rain was a great disapp intment to every one. 'I lie game itself was very exciting, and not till the last two minutes of play did Somerville score, and then by one of the neatest forward passes that have been seen this fall. With every pros- pect of a o to 0 tie, Pitman received the ball from Cohen on the Waltham twenty-three-yard line, and threw to Parks, who, encircled by three Watch City boys, caught the pass and struggled over the line for a touchdown. Parks then kicked the goal. Somerville High put up a fine game, and the Red and Blue backfield was far superior to that of Waltham. Doane was a steady ground gainer, and Leland often broke through the Waltham line. Bob Garland did splendid work, but in the last period, just before Somerville's touchdown, his shoulder was twisted, and he had to come out of the game. Pitman. Parks, and Howard Mer- rill put up a great game, and were largely re- sponsible for the Reel and Blue victory. FIRST PERIOD. Parks kicked off. and the ball rolled about twelve yards into Waltham territory, where it was downed at once. Waltham was unable to gain, and punted t: Pitman, who ran back eighteen vards. Bob Garland could not advance tlie ball and kicked to Waltham. Cobb gained eight vards. Waltham fumbled, but recovered the ball, and Fagan punted to Garland. Doane hit the line, but dropped the ball, the Watch City team 34 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATO securing it. Somerville held, and Waltham Licked to Pitman. Bob punted back and Moody fumbled, Somerville recovering the ball. The teams then exchanged punts, and the period ended with Somerville in possession of the ball on her forty-five-yard line. SECOND PERIOD. Pitman gained eight yards. Doane gained, but Somerville was penalized. Pitman made first down. Garland added three yards, Doane was good for two yards more, and Pitman again made first down. Leland hit the line for four yards, but Somerville was penalized five yards. Doane made third down, and then the Waltham line held. Waltham securing the ball on downs. Fagan punted to Pitman, who ran back fifteen yards. He was tackled hard and was laid out for several minutes, but again went back into the game. Rushes by Doane and Garland advanced the ball five yards, but the Red and Blue team was penal- ized. Waltham receiving the ball. Cobb made eight yards, and then Waltham gained first down. Somerville held and secured the ball on an in- completed forward pass after a third down. Som- erville was unable to gain, and lost the ball on downs. Waltham punted to the Somerville ten- yard line. Garland gained five yards, and then punted to Waltham as the whistle ended the pe- riod. THIRD PERIOD. Doane kicked off to Waltham. The visitors were unable to gain, and lost the ball on downs. Leland gained five yards, and rushes by Doane. Garland, and Leland advanced the ball over twenty yards. Somerville was unable to con- tinue. and Waltham secured the ball on downs. Fagan punted to Garland. Doane and Deland each made two yards, and then Garland attempted an onsidc kick, which Day. of Waltham, caught and ran over eighty yards for what looked like a touchdown. The touchdown was not allowed, however, as penalties for Waltham and Somer- ville conflicted. Bob Garland was not five yards back of the line when he kicked the ball, and a Waltham man interfered with a Somerville player in the twenty-yard zone. The ball was brought back, and tins time Doane went through the Watch City line for five yards. Leland made first down, but Somerville was heavily penalized, and Garland punted. A Waltham back signaled for a fair catch and was tackled by Parks, thus caus- ing more penalizing. The period closed with Waltham in possession of the ball on her thirty- yard line. FOURTH PERIOD. Waltham punted to Pitman, who ran back fif- teen yards. The teams then exchanged punts, with Somerville steadily advancing. From the Waltham twenty-three-yard line Parks tried a field goal, with no success, and Fagan punted to Garland, who made an onsidc kick which rolled over the goal line. Parks falling upon it. How- ever. the ball was dead upon crossing the line, and was brought back, and another exchange of kicks followed. At last Somerville secured the ball on Waltham’s forty-yard line. Leland gained five yards. A forward pass, Pitman to Howard Mer- rill. added ten yards more. Bob Garland went through for five yards and was hurt. Ellis taking his place. Here Pitman made a forward pass to Parks, who plunged over the goal line, pulling three Waltham players with him. Parks kicked the goal. With one minute to play, Somerville kicked off to Waltham. Waltham was unable to gain, and punted to Somerville. One rush, and the whistle ended the game. The summary:— SOM ERVILLE. WALTHAM.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 65 Somerville, 2; newton, 2 A little hard luck and some poor judgment on the part of Somerville allowed Newton to hold the Red and Blue team to a 2 to 2 tic at Newton on ()ctober 24. The Somerville team showed the effects of the hard Waltham game on the previous Saturday. The line, especially, was weak, and the backfield not up to the usual standard. Newton, on the other hand, had planned ahead for this game, and the players were in the best possible condition. However, Somerville had the better team, out- played Newton, and should have won. Garland's shoulder was not yet entirely well, and his usual dash and speed were lacking. The Red and Blue line was unable to open up holes in the Newton team, and neither Bob nor Doanc could gain with this handicap. Leland. however, played a fine game, and showed great form in his position at left half. Dardis and Parks did good work in getting down under punts, again and again nailing the Newton player in his tracks. Pitman and Herbert Merrill played well. For Newton, Roquemorc did the best work, and McNeil and Brady were worthy of mention. Newton’s two points were secured in the first period. The Orange and Black eleven won the toss and kicked to Parks, who ran back twenty- five yards. The Somerville backs then proceeded to tear holes all through the Newton defence, and brought the ball to the Newton twenty-five-yard line. Here Pitman attempted a forward pass to Doatie. Tucker caught the ball and sprinted up the field for eighty yards. Leland finally downing him on Somerville’s ten-yard line. Newton was unable to gain an inch, and tried a field goal, which was blocked. Somerville recovering the ball. Parks gained ten yards, but Somerville was penalized fifteen yards for illegal use of hands. Bob Garland then dropped back to his four-yard line to punt, and Cohen passed the ball over his head. Bob picked it up in back of his goal line, and said, Down!” evidently planning for a touch- back. Nothing doing; Newton received two points, and until the final period it looked as though that was enough to win. The last period opened with Somerville in pos- session of the ball on Newton’s fifty-four-yard line. A forward pass gained eighteen yards. Doane added one yard more, and Garland tried an end run and was thrown for a loss. Drop- ping back, Bob made an onside kick which struck the ground on Newton’s five-yard line. Whitney picked up the ball on the run, and, bumping into Jack Dardis, was thrown behind his goal line for a safety. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. NEWTON.

Somerville H uts H orcbestcr Bwav, 12 to 5 Dorchester High went down to defeat at the hands of Somerville at the new field on October 2S by the score of 12 to 5. The visitors played a. rough game from start to finish, but it was modi- fied somewhat after Carl Pitman was carried off the field with a twisted neck. Somerville was. clearly superior, but fumbled frequently; Dor- chester would not have scored but for ibis fault. Doane played a great game, and Cohen and Parks- did well. Dorchester got the jump on Somerville, and' scored a touchdown in the first two minutes of play. The visitors kicked off to Howard Merrill; who fumbled, Anderson recovering. On the next play Doane fumbled, and Dorchester recovered the ball on Somerville’s thirty-yard line. Two rushes failed to gain, and made apparently for a goal from placement. But instead a forward! pass. I.a Roche to Quilty, was successfully worked, and Quilty was finally downed by Pitman on Somerville’s one-yard line. Williams then went through the line for a touchdown. In the second period Somerville scored two points, when Williams intercepted a Somerville forward pass on his two-vard line, and Jack Dardis threw him back of the goal line for a safety. Dorchester then kicked from the twenty-five- 36 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR yard line, and Garland fumbled, Merrill recover- ing. Leland made four yards. Doane eight. Parks five, Garland eleven, and Doane made five yards. Garland then worked an end run and went offside on the Dorchester one-yard line. On the next play Doane carried the ball over, and Garland missed the goal. The third period was unmarked, except by a forty-five-yard run by Doane after he recovered a blocked punt. The fourth period opened with the ball in Som- erville’s possession on Dorchester’s twenty-two- yard line. Two successful forward passes and a series of rushes put the ball on the Dorchester three-yard line, where Garland fumbled a delayed pass, Dorchester recovering. Dorchester kicked to Parks and Doane returned the punt. Dor- chester securing the ball on their thirty-yard line. Mullane dropped back to kick, and Sam Cohen blocked the punt: the ball bounded over the goal line, where Herbert Merrill fell on it for a touch- down. 'Hie summary:— SOMERVILLE. DORCHESTER.

This was the first defeat of the season for the wearers of the Red and Blue, and the fact that it was a league game made defeat all the harder to bear. Somerville greatly outplayed Malden during the first half, but, although three times within striking distance of the Yellow and Blue goal line, was unable to score. In the second half Somerville was completely tired out, and showed it. the Malden backs plunging through the line for steady gains. Doane sustained a gash under the eye, and also a sprained ankle, but, game to the bast, he con- tinued playing. Townsend also was hurt, and An- derson put out of the game for rough playing. After Malden scored her first touchdown in the third period, there was little fight left in the handi- capped Somerville team, which showed sore need of first-class subs. Individually, many Somerville men played a great game. Doane was the mainstay of the Red and Blue team, and after lie was injured the Som- erville playing noticeably slumped. Pitman ran the team well and tackled in great form, and Parks held down his end of the line strongly. The worst hole was just outside the tackle posi- tions. and often the Malden gains came through here. At centre. Sam Cohen played a great game. Jack Dardis was unable to play on ac- count of studies, and his presence was missed. Taken altogether, it was a hard-luck game for the Somerville team. A large crowd of rooters who carried Red and Blue colors journeyed out to Malden, and were greatly disappointed that the team failed to win. For Malden. Wall, Benoit. Murphy, Kempton, and Gerrish played well. The summary:— MALDEN. SOMERVILLE. Mclnnis, l.e................................r.e., Parks Wall, l.t.....................r.t., H. E.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The game was entertaining at all times, the only solemn moments occurring while the Red and I Slue team was holding the visitors for downs on the Somerville eight-yard line. Coach Mahoney was unable to cancel the game, which lie wanted to do, as he did not wish to run any risks with the Medford game coming; there- fore. he sent in the substitutes, and was greatly pleased at their showing. Dinger Doane and Richie” Townsend were still unable to play on account of injuries received in the Malden game, and watched from the sidelines. Hob Garland and Hili” Parks were not in condition. There- fore. the Somerville backficld was weak, and the line weaker. Again and again Dardis got off his punts just out of reach of the l� lue and Blue play- ers. who broke through the paper-like line. Dardis was on deck, and played well. The hospital list was increased considerably: Sam” Cohen, who went in near the end of the game, received a banged knee; Leland got kicked in the back; Pitman, who played the second half, had his face slapped; Kitchen unexpectedly got his thumb squeezed; and Walter York might have been hurt if he had played.

Sporting Cbat We were glad to note that many teachers of the school attended the dedication exercises of the new field. And it was a Waltham watch, too. If Macbeth had seen the Waltham game, lie 67 might well have said: So foul and fair a day I have not seen.” The Newton game taught “Bunno” that ‘ roughing the fullback” means troubic coming. Captain Bob’s war-cry: Charge! Somerville, charge!” Bobby Bourne’s fuzzy hat was an object of envy to the Newtonites; but, nevertheless, the Somerville cheering was excellent. Yes, Dorchester, that was a pretty poor exhibi- tion of football which you gave us. A team that shows such poor sportsmanship as to deliberately essay coarse work” is not worthy of a place on Somerville’s PM 2 schedules. Will the persons of the class of 1913 who wish to compete for the position of sporting editor for 1912-1913 kindly communicate with Bob Rich- ards. Room 27 W, seat ( ( ? Leland is playing a great game at left half, and his steady work has helped Somerville immensely. He hits the line with plenty of force, and seldom fails to gain. Keep it up, Harold. Newton High and Somerville High exchanged’ calls around the first of November, and the teams, had a friendly scrimmage in each city. “Steve”’ and Allie got after the two elevens in great style. An exchange like this increases the good feeling between the schools and helps the teams- immensely. We hope that this year, which marks the merg- ing of the High Schools, may bring out a track- team which will win every contest in which it may compete. Somerville certainly has as speedy and as good athletes as any other Greater Boston: high school, and we sec no reason why a track, team should not be organized and supported- by- Somerville High. The greatest drawback is the fact that the only suitably equipped gymnasium in Somerville is at the Y. M. C. A., and that indoor and winter training can be secured only by those who are members of the association. Still, this, may eventually be overcome or arrangements made which will allow Somerville High athletes to use the track, apparatus, and shower baths there. At least, we hope that the spring of 1912 will mark the beginning of track teams which in the near future will win honors in competition with the other high schools of Greater Boston. 68 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7Hochc domino! Only a few more days of football, and then win- ter and hockey will be here in dead earnest. Now is the time to get those skates of yours down from the closet shelf and fix them up for the ice which will soon be here. And don't forget that Somerville High will have a hockey team this year; not only a team, we hope, but as fast a seven as can be found in Greater Boston. Also, there are some good chances on the team for those who can make good (last year every player but one of the preceding year was back strong), but this year more places are left open, as Donahue. Dickson. Hamilton, and Laurie have graduated. So everybody come out and make a try for something. Remember that the more men. the better the team. Several players of last winter’s squad will be out again this year, and should make competition extremely close. Captain Whittaker, who has played on the Somerville sevens of the last two years, will be a fixture at rover. Townsend and Cosgrove will be the most probable candidates for forward positions. Garland probably will be among the candidates for cover point, while George and Mclntirc will make things interesting at point. With these men back. Captain Whitta- ker. who was chosen on the Second All-inter- scholastic lmckey teams of last year, should lead a winning seven. The hockey schedule of this season is an ex- ceptionally good one, with a number of trips over this section of the state, and also one to Pomfret. Conn. Several of the league games will be played at the Boston Arena, and should be well attended by supporters of the team. The full schedule is not yet announced, but we can safely promise that the December Radiator will have the list of dates for the winter. One important fact that ought to be taken under consideration by the executive committee at once is that the hockey team should have a rink in which to practice and play games at home. Last year the construction of the rink was not undertaken until Broadway Field had been flooded, and the wooden sides had to be built on top of the ice, and not on a solid ground founda- tion. The result was a lack of ice at times when ice was most needed, and on many days the mem- bers of the squad traveled over to the Medford clay pits to practice. The pits were in good con- dition almost all last winter, and were as safe as could be desired. This year the construction of a good rink should be begun directly after the football team retires from the limelight of popular favor, namely, bv the first week of December. Where the rink shall be built is a matter to be decided by Mr. Bailey and the Athletic Association. There certainly is enough room for a dozen rinks at the Somerville Field, and if the city would erect sev- eral they would be greatly appreciated. Another thing is that the rink ought to be much larger than that of last year. A rink a little shorter than the Boston Arena would be about right. Everybody remembers what happened when Somerville played in Boston last winter. The ice surface was so much larger and different from what was expected that the players got lost, and the result was a shame. Therefore, we think that the hockev team of 1911-’12 should have a good rink, built on a solid foundation, flooded regularly, and large enough to allow the players all the room they need. On another topic the members of last year's hockey team now in school are agreed, and that is that the hockey team should have a coach. There are several reasons pro and con, and a few are stated below:— REASONS FOR HAVING A COACH. 1. A better team cannot fail to result from systematic coaching by an expert. 2. Better spirit will be shown if the players are placed under the right man for the place. A coach is able to make a better choice of men for the various positions than a captain, and a captain should be a leader of a team, and not necessarily have to take up the duties of a coach, as well as his own. !. Supplies can be secured more readily if a responsible coach stands back of each order for goods. AGAINST HAVING A COACH. 1. Good ice is an uncertain quantity, and as a coach must be hired for the season, there may be a loss of money, while the team receives no benefit. 2. It may be difficult to secure the right man as coach. It would seem. then, that the chief objection to hiring a coach lies in the financial ques- tion, but we believe that the Athletic Associa- SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 69 lion can well afford paying two or three dollars an afternoon to a good coach. The work of the team depends largely upon the coaching received, and therefore we hope that the hockey team of 1911-’12 may be favored by having as a coach a man who can turn out a successful seven. Many followers of former Somerville teams will regret that Broadway field, the scene of many high school contests, is being cut up into house lots. Already a road is started which will run di- rectly across the field. The old stands, which only a few months ago were filled with crowds of rooters, are now sorrowfully empty, and even the old elms on the Broadway side are dying with the passing of the field. -------♦ ••• Somerville jHiob School iRabiator XT treasurer's IReport, October to, 1911 Received from:— Balance on hand, October 1, 1910........$ 243.37 Advertisements, 1910-1911................ 323.00 Advertisements in June issue, 1911....... 43.50 Subscriptions, 1910-1911................. 324.73 Subscriptions for June issue, 1911...... 122.00 Cash monthly sales.,................... 231.80 Interest on $300 (six months) in Somer- ville Savings bank........................ 5.25 $1,29(5.07 Paid to:— Somerville Journal Company, printing monthly issues.....................$ 973.35 Somerville Journal Company, printing subscription blanks, etc............. 10.25 Dobinson Engraving Company, engrav- ing plates, etc..................... 70.15 Photographers, pictures of staff and class editors .............................. 9.75 Members of staff, car fares, postage, etc. 10.35 Treasurer, for services................... 25.00 Balance in Somerville Savings bank...... 105.25 Balance in Somerville Trust Company.. 80.57 $1,290.07 ----------♦-� ----------------- Somerville HMub School Hthletic Hssocla tion (Continued from page 60.) turn the completed accounts over to the treasurer in at least one month after the season closes. 7.

ZTruesbale, ’12 S tlic evening train drew into River- dale and stopped, a little girl of about eleven years, neatly dressed, got off, and, addressing the station master, said: Please, sir, can you tell me where Squire Minot lives? lie is my uncle, and I expected him to meet me here.” Oh, said the station master, “that’s all right, I'll have you there in a minute. Your uncle met the morning train; he probably docs not expect you to-night.” A few minutes later. Pauline Minot found her- self in front of her uncle's house. Her knock was answered by a very old man. Well, little girl, have you come for the wash? You must be careful-------” Please, sir. I am not the wash girl, f am your niece. Pauline Minot.” My goodness! A little girl my niece! Well, if this ain't a pretty how-de-do! After eating a warm supper, Pauline’s spirit was cheered. “Didn’t you expect me. sir?” she asked. Oh, yes,” said her uncle, only I thought you were twenty years old.” “That would be the age of my sister if she were living, explained Pauline. She then gathered the dishes and washed them, with a great many more which were in the sink. “I dislike to wash dishes,” explained her uncle. Sometimes I feel real glad when I break a dish, as it makes one fewer to wash.” Pauline’s laugh and bright ways soon bright- ened the old man. so that they became good friends. She was assisted in the work by Liza, a German girl, as her uncle was afraid she would overdo. Rummaging in the attic one day. she found a baby picture, the image of the squire. All alive with curiosity, she ran down stairs to her uncle. Oh, uncle, who is this----?” Pauline never finished her sentence, as the squire, white-faced, left the room. Liza then explained; the picture was that of her uncle’s little boy, who quarreled with his father and left home. Much puzzled. Pauline took her book and went down to the creek. As the grass was damp, she lay in the boat, and read till she fell asleep. The skiff caught in the current, became unfastened, and drifted towards the dam. It happened that just above the dam there lived a small family. The man had eye trouble, the wife was an invalid, but the two children were healthy. This day they came running in. saying: Oh, father, come quick, there is a little girl fast asleep in a boat coming down the creek!” 'flic man just reached the bank when Pauline awoke. Pale with terror, she called for help, when she saw the man who had started to rescue her. 'flic boat was delayed a minute by an over- hanging branch of a tree which had been struck bv lightning. Instinctively Pauline grasped the limb. Hold on! hold on!” she heard the man say, but kne V no more. When she opened her eyes she was in a little cottage, with the invalid mother working over her. Is she all right?” asked her rescuer. If you mean me. sir. I guess I am. thanks to you. sir!” said Pauline. How did it happen you didn’t have any oars?” Uncle always puts the oars in the barn. You see. I didn’t intend to go rowing.” What is your uncle's name?” Ira Minot: and I am his niece. Pauline Minot. I am sure he will want to thank you for your kindness to me.” Look here,” said the man in a husky voice, I am glad I was of some service to you, but I want none of your uncle’s thanks.” Then he left the room. Pauline was astounded. What had she said or done?” Don’t feel hurt, dear,” said the invalid. I am sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings. He displeased your uncle a few years ago. and they are not friends.” Oh, I know! said Pauline. He is Uncle Ira’s lost son, Ralph.” Yes, you arc right,” said the woman, but don’t say anything about this matter to your uncle, as he might put us out.” Pauline often thought of her rescuer, but kept it secret. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 77 It happened that a few Sundays after the inci- dent. the sermon at church was on the text of the “prodigal son.” The squire listened intently, and his mind wandered back over the years that had passed. His son! Where was he now? As the sermon went on, the squire became so moved that lie vowed he would seek his son, if he were a thousand miles away. A few days before Christmas, when Pauline was looking at the fourteen-pound turkey, a bright idea occurred to her. “Such a big turkey to eat alone!” she repeated. “I wish there were more folks coming to dinner to help cheer Uncle Ira, he seems so despondent of late. I have the idea! I'll do it! she cried. She visited a kind woman of the neighborhood and told her her plans, into which Mrs. Anderson entered enthusiastically. Liza, the cook, was also taken into confidence. Christmas morning Pauline and her uncle went to church. Afterwards the squire stopped a few moments to chat with some friends. Pauline explained that she wanted to be sure the dinner was all right, and so went off alone. Nearing the house, the squire found Pauline was on the steps to greet him. As she helped him to remove his overcoat she was trembling with ex- citement. “Everything is ready, but it looks too much for only you and me. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have a family reunion? I suppose I might have invited some one, but we'll have to make the best of it now. I’ll do any- thing. Pauline, to make you happy to-day. “Oh. uncle, then you won’t be angry at some- thing I have done! I have invited some com- pany ! “Company! said the squire. Yes. sir, and it is somebody you know! And she opened the dining-room door. There stood the dining-room table, drawn out to its full size with all the goodies on it. But who was that pale-faced lady and two pretty children and the tall man standing by the fireplace? Was he dreaming? Was it Ralph? Feebly, and trembling from excitement, he held out both hands. Ralph, my son! In a humble voice the man sai l: Oh. father, I wanted so to come home! They spent a delightful day. talking of old times and the mother who was in glory. That night Ralph Minot slept under his home roof. H IReal Ibero ® ? iHa.scl £. BatcbelOer, 12 The HE first half of the Thanksgiving Day game was over, and the score stood Norway, 5; Bethel, 0. The Bethel players crowded around their cap- tain to receive his last orders be- fore the final effort on the field, situation was critical. Norway and Bethel had each won six games, and now the rivals were pjaying together for the first time, and the victori- ous team would win the pennant in the triangular league, of which both parties were members. Ex- citement was at its height, and thus the need of the conference around the Bethel captain. The captain was a handsome young fellow of good height and strongly built. It was in a meas- ure due to his own playing that the Bethel team held its high rank. It seemed to him that the main object for which he had worked was to be denied him. The team depended upon his sup- port. and when he sprained his ancle a few days before the game, Bethel’s hopes had a sudden blow. Now lie was giving final instructions as he leaned on the shoulder of one of his players. The whistle blew, and the team trotted on to the gridiron, while the captain limped in silence to the bench. The game was on. Ralph Young, who was playing halfback in the captain's place, played swift and hard, and for a while Bethel made her distances. But soon Norway picked up again, and stood like a mighty iron bar. compelling Bethel t give up the ball. So the game went on. First Norway would have the ball, and then Bethel, but no big gains were made, and each kept about the same distance from the other’s goal. Time wore on. and the score still remained 5 to . It was not an easy matter for Captain Ivan Arno to sit on the bench and watch his team go down to defeat for the first time, while he was unable to 78 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR help. He. however, would have been in the game but for his players, who feared he might cripple himself, although they felt his need. At this point the whistle blew for a two-minute intermission. The game was three-quarters over, and there wasn't much hope for I iethel in the next fifteen minutes’ play. The players were in a group chatting when a pretty brown spaniel ran across the field, heading directly toward them. When lie reached the group he stood still, wagged his tail, and putting his cars forward as much as said: Aren't you go- ing to take any notice of me?” He did receive a few pats from the fellows, but not as many as he would have liked, or as many as he probably would have gotten if the intermission had been a little longer. Parmenter, a sub. who was sitting next to Cap- tain Arno, ran on the field, took the dog by the collar, and led him toward the exit. Xo sooner had Parmenter left his seat, when a messenger boy appeared in front of the captain, and asked: Is Roy Parmenter here?” ‘Tie is.” said the captain, pointing to the substi- tute. who had just gone on the field, he’ll be here in a second.” Hut the messenger, seeing Parmenter making for the main exit, followed him. and overtook him just as he was coming back. When Roy read the despatch, lie walked back to his former seat beside the captain. Xo bad news, I hope.” said Arno. It's word from home,” replied Parmenter. My uncle in Chicago is dead, and 1 must go home at once. Folks are leaving on the 4.32 train.” All right.” said the captain. I'm very sorry for your uncle and that you must leave, but I guess there’s not much more to tell about this game.” In the meantime the game was progressing, neither team seeming to make headway. Soon, however, one of Bethel’s men got the ball. He ran a few yards, and was tackled by an opposing man. Down he went, several others on top. Then came another blow to Bethel. When the referee succeeded in disentangling the men. one form lay senseless on the ground. Then the Bethel manager called out across the field: Say, 'Cap,' send out Parmenter or some sub-halfback. Young's laid out.” Arno turned to the waiting substitutes, but then he realized Parmenter was not there. At the same time he saw Parmcntcr's sweater on the bench. Then a bold idea entered his mind. He seized the sweater, quickly put it on, jammed a head guard well over his face, and grabbing a nose guard, coolly trotted on the field, trying his best not to limp. “Xow. Parmenter, play as you never have before,” said the manager, as he patted him on the back. The face behind the nose guard smiled knowingly. Luckily, there was no time to exchange words, as the whistle had blown, and the voices of the students were heard to yell: What’s the matter with Parmenter? He’s all right. He's a lulla. He gets it every time. Who docs? Parmenter.” Oh, the name didn't matter. He knew the yell was for him. and it nerved him. The first two or three plays were off quickly, and Xorway barely made her downs. Then their fullback punted. Bethel’s centre blocked the punt. Then Ivan Arno, alias Roy Parmenter, playing secondary defence on the fifty-five-yard line, stooped down and picked up the ball. His arm closed over the pigskin, and in spite of the pain in his ankle, he ran as he had never run be- fore. One of his teammates took the opposing end. He rushed through the linemen, and. with the use of the straight arm, evaded halfback and fullback. He dodged the quarterback, too, and was running with a clear field before him. When he entered the game he knew there was very little time, and so fully realized that if he failed in this try the game was lost. He was de- termined to make that touchdown if he never played again. Oh, how slowly he seemed to move! His feet seemed to have weights in them! His eyes were blinded with pain, and he could only see the white goal posts. But that was all he wanted to see. Would he never reach it? Suddenly he realized that sonic one was pursuing him. It was the quarterback whom he had dodged. Arno heard the cheers that went up for Parmenter, but he only smiled and pushed on harder than ever. Still the quarterback followed him. If he would only stumble or something. Ah. there were the posts. He would reach them. He remembered making a terrible effort, and then—all was blank. There was a big surprise for the Bethel players when they reached the prostrate form of the sup- posed Parmenter, and found, after removing head gear and nose guard, the features of their crippled captain. Half an hour later, when Captain Ivan Arno came to himself, his first words were: “Did wc win?” And a happy smile was seen to creep over his face when he saw one of his team triumphantly wave the pennant before him. Enough. They had won. SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 79 IRutb’s IRewart� jf. Bstber Kent, ’12 HEX Ruth Christopher reached the spot, the little boy, whom she had been watching with considerable in- terest, was still crying. He was sitting on the curbstone in one of the poorest sections of Boston, crying as if his heart would break. ‘’My dear little man, what arc you crying about?” asked Ruth, sympathetically. ‘T—want—my—mamma. he managed to say between sobs. And where is your mamma? “Oh.—she’s in heaven, miss,—with grandpa— an’ grandma. An’ papa—says lie’s going—soon, too, an’ I don't—know—what to do. I’ve nobody —to take—care of me. Oh, dear, I want— mamma.” “Where’s your papa, dear? “He’s in—there—all sick. the little fellow answered. “What’s your name?” “My name’s Robert E. Raylc. an' I live—there. I'm named—after my—uncle, but—I don’t—like —him—very well. He an' my—papa—got cross —once, an’ now daddy won’t—tell—him he's —sick—an’ poor.” Ruth Christopher had turned somewhat pale at this startling news, the name of the little chap being identical with that of her former lover. You tell your papa that I will come and see him this afternoon. Now brace up, little chap, and be a man.” And with this, she turned and walked away. Ruth Christopher had always, even as a child, had a decided liking for philanthropic work. Robert Rayle had had very little sympathy with the idea of a young girl thus spending her life. He thought she ought to marry and settle down quietly. Thus they had quarreled, and he had left for a distant country. She had taken up philan- thropic work, and had thrown herself into it, heart and soul. Now, as she made her way home, she was think- ing of what she had already known, and what the boy had just told her regarding these brothers. What a sad affair it was! They had come from a wealthy family, and, upon the death of the parents, each had been left no small fortune. 1 hen they had quarreled, one brother entirely disowning the other. Now the father of the boy had come to poverty, and. although he knew his brother was a man of great wealth, he would not call upon him for assistance. Ruth and one of her co-laborers returned in the afternoon with a doctor. As soon as he had seen the man, he said: Do all you can to make his last hours more pleasant, for i can do nothing.” The little boy’s mother had worked herself to death for the consumptive father. Now the father, almost penniless, lay at the point of death, his life being a matter of only a few hours. He asked to sec the young lady who had talked with his son in the morning, and begged her to look- after the boy when he had gone, and not to allow him to be sent to an asylum if it could possibly be helped. Ruth, having taken a decided liking to the little lad. could not bear the thought of leaving him, and took him with her to her own home, after the father’s death. She and her father lived alone, and the boy was welcomejn the household. One pleasant fall afternoon, when Robert was in his Junior year at high school, he and Ruth sat together in the drawing room. The boy was failing utterly in the attempt to study his lessons, and Ruth was studying the boy. Why, you ask. this agitation? Had not Ruth just now told the boy her secret—that his wealthy uncle was once a very dear friend of hers? The door bell rang, and a moment later the maid announced a gentleman to see Miss Christopher. As Ruth crossed the hall, she caught a glimpse of the man, rclleetcd in the hall mirror. The reilcc- tion was that of her former lover, the uncle of her adopted boy. The terrible thought that he had come to rob her and her father of their treasure came to her mind, but he should not take the boy if she could in any way prevent it. She hesitated just a moment, tossed her head, and walked in. Returning to the boy, we find him deeply ab- sorbed in thought, his books entirely forgotten. He wondered if his uncle had not. perhaps, been more than a friend to Ruth; and the thought that he had made her unhappy made him almost angry towards this unknown uncle. For an hour he thus brooded over his somewhat confused 8o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR thoughts, and just as he was preparing once more to begin his studying. Ruth appeared in the door- way. Roy, dear, come to me;’ she said, holding out her arms. Your uncle has come. she went on slowly, and wants to see his nephew. He did not know you were with me until a month ago. Re the man I always knew you were.” The boy looked at Ruth, apparently not much excited by his uncle's sudden appearance, and said: Was that man ever unkind to you, cousin, dear?” Ycvcr. Robert. she replied slowly, but em- phatically. “Then I'll go to him: but otherwise 1 would not go near him.’ Thus, with a kiss, the boy left Ruth alone to her thoughts. How long, how very long she had wished that this identical thing might come to pass! How eager she had been to forgive, and he had told her there was nothing to forgive. It all seemed too good to be true. It was a happy group seated before the fire, and they made an extremely pretty picture. A man and a woman were there, and on the hearth rug at their feet sat the boy. Oh. that boy! What a boy lie was! Was it not through him that they had been brought together again? And what a promising future loomed up for the boy, which he seemed to read in those dancing, leaping flames. Would lie not make his uncle, and, yes, his aunt, glad that they could call him theirs? Then and there the boy determined that lie would. tTbe %an6 of promise By? dDaniaret G. Ibammitcn, T4 OXY GAR DI XI, an Italian, who had had ill luck in Italy, emigrated to America, and had been toiling for two years to enable his wife and daughter Rosa to come to America. Tony was a fruit-peddler, and dur- ing the past two years had worked laboriously, striving day by day to increase his small hoard. He had met many reverses. Still his love for his family was so great that he courageously labored on and on, battling against these difficulties and obstacles. The fruit peddler’s wife and child in Italy were so interested when they heard the name of America mentioned by one of the peasants that they gathered around him to hear the thrilling stories. At these tales the swarthy complexions of mother and daughter lighted up with happiness. They longed for the day when they should go to the land of promise. In the meanwhile Tony prepared a home in America for his loved ones in far-off sunny Italy. In each movement accomplished to make the home pleasant he thought of his family. At last, with a light heart, he mailed the letter with the news that his wife and child were to come. On a cheerless day in Xovember. Rosa Gardini and her mother bade farewell to their native land and embarked on the Centuria. There were a few rough days on the water, and each night they offered a prayer to God that they might reach America in safety. I he voyage seemed long and dreary: each hour passed as three. Finally, after seventeen days, on one fine, clear afternoon, ere the sun had set, they beheld the wonderful America—the land of promise. Such joy! I hen came the time for the examination by the immigration officials. Rosa and her mother had not thought of this examination. Ten. eleven, have passed by the officers; then it was their turn. Rosa, upon being examined, was found to have eye disease. All the joy merged into sadness. 1 ony met them, but instead of a happy union, it was most sad. Rosa was condemned to be deported, and was placed in detention quarters. Her mother re- fused to leave her. With broken hearts, all future plans were laid aside. I he grief of poor Tony was great. He ap- pealed to the Italian consui, that his child might be permitted to land. Then the day came for the hearing before the Hoard of Appeals. Alas! ‘ Un- favorable decision were the two words which rang in Tony Gardini’s cars. Although obsta- cles and difficulties crowded about his path, noth- ing could abate his ardor to free his daughter Rosa. It is a few days before Christmas. Tony has come all the way from Boston to see the presi- dent in Washington, having learned that he is the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 81 only person who has the power to permit his child, who has eye disease, to land in this country. After waiting two long weeks, he is at last per- mitted to have an interview with President Rogers. The president makes a motion for Tony to fol- low him. He is led into his private study. With a throbbing heart, Tony tells his sad story to the president. ‘T have labored hard for two years to earn enough money to prepare a home for my wife and daughter in Italy. I sent them word to come to this beautiful country. Then they were so happy, for they had been waiting for that letter for months. They came to the land of promise, but my girl, Rosa, was found to have eye disease, and the officers would not allow her to land. For that reason, dear Mr. President, I have come to you. The two long weeks I awaited your arrival I prayed to God that you might grant me this wish. Oh, you cannot tear me away from my wife and daughter now! To! No!” The president, at first, betrayed no promising signs; on the contrary, his face was stern. Gradu- ally it softened, and, as the poor Italian ended his appeal, tears were trickling down the kind presi- dent's face. Pity was swelling his heart. No. he could not refuse this poor Italian this wish, espe- cially at this time of the year. It would be con- Ulovman ant Hrtbur: jfrienbs By? Elisabeth ID.

The next day President Lincoln issued a call for three-months’ men.” Arthur was among the first to enlist, and he was given a lieutenant’s commission. As he was coming from the re- cruiting station, he met Norman, who plainly showed his surprise. Arthur told Norman that he had enlisted, and Norman in turn told Arthur that he was about to N Sunday morning, April 14, 1861, the news that Major Anderson had sur- rendered Fort Sumter to General Beauregard spread through the country like wildfire. When the word reached Savannah, Arthur Spencer and Norman Downing, inseparable com- panions, were seated with a group of gentlemen on the piazza of the inn. A great cheer greeted the news from all throats excepting one. Arthur Spencer, alone, remained silent. His friend. Norman, noticing this, inquired the cause. Nor- man,” was Arthur's answer, 1 sympathized with South Carolina until I heard this. Think of it. old fellow! Our stars and stripes fired on by men who a year ago reverenced those same stars and stripes above all things.” Norman seemed surprised for a moment: then, bursting into a loud laugh, exclaimed: “Well, you trarv to his heart. His thoughts, previously, were of Christmas and of the good deeds he might do unto others. God had sent him an opportunity to show his Christmas spirit, and his heart was too tender to allow such an opportunity to pass. With a radiant face. President Rogers made out the permit for Rosa to land, provided she was given medical attendance.

On Christmas eve Tony rushed back to Poston with the landing permit clutched in his hand and the feeling of joy in his heart. A joyful reunion of that family followed. A doctor was summoned immediately, and Rosa was given medical atten- dance. Christmas dawned; a cold, bright, clear day. This was the first in America for the Italians. It was a day of rejoicing and Thanksgiving. A hun- dred charms were added to their home and a hun- dred joys to their hearts. Another, too, was indeed happy that Christmas for being instrumental in bringing happiness into the hearts of others. A feeling of gratification was experienced bv President Rogers when he pictured the joy of the Italian mother; and that night, as he lav down to rest, he thanked God for that opportunity which He sent him. 82 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR enlist in the Confederate army. The two chums then shook hands and, with tears, bade each other good-by. Arthur’s company was among those com- manded by General Sherman. Arthur, who found many chances to show his bravery, soon won a captaincy, lie wrote the good news to the home town, where Xorman was at that time waiting with the rest of his company for orders to go to the front. One morning news reached town that Sher- man had started his raid down the Shenan- doah Valley. It was known that Early was also in the valley, and Norman’s company had hopes that it would be ordered out. “Well, Downing.” said a young messenger to Norman, who was waiting outside headquarters, “1 just brought orders for your company to go and help Early stop Sherman. It’s going to be hard work, but it’s got to be done. Do your best, and good luck.” I)o my best, and good luck.’ Well, yes, I will do my best, but good luck,—impossible, because J know that Arthur is with Sherman. Can it be possible that we shall meet? Oh, how I pray that we may not.” Thus Norman mused after he had heard the news. One week from that day Sherman's and Early's forces met in Shenandoah Valley. Two com- panies. one of them Norman’s, were detailed to watch for a Hank movement. As the two armies met, Norman was horrified to recognize Arthur m a captain’s stripes. “Ah. a good chance to get rid of one Yankee, and a captain at that.” Norman turned and saw one of his comrades training his gun at Arthur. Just in time he knocked the butt of the gun up, and the gun discharged into the air. While Norman was apologizing for the accident, he heard a shout of joy. and. turning, saw that, de- spite his efforts, a soldier had succeeded in shoot- ing Arthur. Arthur, when shot, had only one thought, “God grant that this bullet which has wounded me to death did not come from Norman’s gun.” •Early’s forces were finally routed, and Arthur had been secretly conveyed to the small farm- house not far from the scene of the battle. Two days afterwards Captain Anderson, of Norman’s company, received an anonymous letter telling him that a Yankee was concealed nearby. The captain sent for Norman, who at times acted as his messenger. Downing, I have a letter from a friend, telling me that a wounded Yankee captain is in hiding at Mrs. Jackson’s house. You, accompanied by Privates Turner and Lee, will go and capture him.” Norman saluted, and passed out to per- form his duty. Arriving at Mrs. Jackson’s home, Norman no- ticed that though Mrs. Jackson strongly denied that any Yankee was in her house, she seemed very nervous and not a little bit frightened. As he entered the house with his two compan- ions, Norman directed one to search the basement, one to search the first floor, and said that he would search the upper floor and the attic. Reaching the second floor, lie hesitated a mo- ment. and then, for some unknown reason, he pulled out a draw of the what-not that stood in the hall. Therein rested an object that caused Nor- man to catch his breath, and then, grasping the object, lie hurriedly went to Mrs. Jackson. Madam.” he said, there is no use denying that you are concealing a man, but, hush! or my men will hear you,” he added as the woman gave a frightened gasp. I wish you to answer my question truthfully, and it depends on your answer what my action will be. Is that wounded Yankee named Arthur Spencer or is he not?” Sir. he is,” was the answer. “P ut,” as her curiosity overcame her fright, how did you know it?” Madam, Arthur was and is my dearest friend. These gloves, which I found upstairs, are the last present I gave him before we parted to become enemies by name, but not at heart.” Then, quietly whistling to his men, he said to them: I am convinced that there is no Yankee concealed in this house. The search will end, and I will re- port that I saw no man here.” And with a courteous bow to Mrs. Jackson, the three men de- parted. Arriving in camp. Norman reported to his cap- tain: Sir, I captured no man in Mrs. Jackson’s house.” What? Did he escape? Or was there none there?” I saw no one.” This simple truth, of which the captain could sec only one side, meant much to Norman. The captain merely dismissed him with a nod of his head. The next morning, as Norman was cleaning his gun. a small boy entered the camp and asked for Norman Downing. Here,” Norman shouted, thinking, as he did SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 so, how many times lie had answered to his name in just that way when he and Arthur sat side by- side in the little schoolroom at home. The boy handed him a note which was addressed in Arthur’s writing. With trembling hands, he broke the seal, and, drawing forth the letter, read:— “Dear old friend: When you receive this letter I shall be dead. Mv wound is more serious than it was first thought to be. 'fell father and mother that 1 died serving my country. Oh, Norman, that you might have served it with me! Yester- day some of your comrades came to the house, hunting for me. Norman, they did not come near my room. Were you with them? For some reason they did not search the house. I wonder,—but my hand grows weak, and I must stop writing. “Good-by, old fellow, “Arthur.” Here the letter ended, and Norman knew that Arthur had been called home. For a moment he paused, and then, clasping his gun in one hand and the letter in the other, he entered the captain’s tent. “Sir. I have come to give myself up for disobey- ing the orders. A Yankee captain was hidden in Mrs. Jackson’s house. I told you the truth when 1 told you I saw none. I hunted for none. Cap- tain Arthur Spencer has been my friend from childhood, and I would never betray him.” Hut you have now ’ was the captain’s answer. “Read this,” handing him the letter, that will tell you why I am now confessing. Sir. I have be- trayed my trust, and I am ready for the penalty.” The captain read the letter, and then, turning to Norman, placed his hand on his shoulder and said: My boy, by doing your duty to a friend, you have done your duty to your country. Ah, that we might all have such a friend as you. Take your gun, my son. and forget, as 1 shall, that you have ever told me of the failure to obey a command of your captain. Remember, as I shall, only that you have obeyed a command of God,—that of loving your neighbors and being a true, friend.” ♦ Xettere to a jfresbman 114umber Ubvcc Dear Freshman:— When you discover with anger as well as dis- appointment that I have taken pains to write another long letter to you. there will undoubtedly be a clash of arms among the Freshman ranks. A declaration of war will surely be drawn up by the prominent members of the class of 1915! The air around the corridors will become heated by the excited cries of your comrades. I cannot blame you at all. You have already displayed remarkable patience in withstanding the sallies of “cut-and-dried” advice, which I have literally hurled at you. You’ve shown yourself to be a wonder, old man. Not even a protesting hand have you raised against my persistent cruelty. In return for the overwhelming courage and pa- tience which you have so clearly displayed, it seems only fair that I should treat you more as a friend in the future. Therefore, instead of dwell- ing upon that antiquated subject entitled “Scholarship,” I will turn the pendulum in the opposite direction and write about something very different in character. We must admit that scholarship and detri- ment are the chief factors that determine the suc- cess and welfare of a boy in any institution of learning. However, even with these two all-im- portant topics ever present in our minds, we can- not show much accomplishment without recreation. We must have energy and strength to take up our duties in the business world. You and I have our personal opinions concerning the “grind,” the fellow who does absolutely nothing but dig, dig, dig all the time. When he has finished his course and is ready to graduate, he will hardly have suffi- cient strength in his arm to bear the weight of a diploma from the platform. Fresh air will help immensely in clearing the tired brain. Therefore, my friend, spend all your leisure hours out of doors. Studying in the open air is a mighty good idea. Lessons seem to come much easier in fresh air than they do when you arc locked up in a close, muggy chamber. This leads me naturally to the thought of school athletics. One of the best ways to show interest in the athletics of the Somerville High School is to join the Athletic Association. You should be more than glad to support our teams, and to aid (Continued on page 87.] 84 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR With December’s snow comes the great clay of the year. Gentle Christmas, with her happiness, is near at hand,—Christmas, that day when hearts arc full of joy; Christmas, with her holly and mis- tletoe, her love and song, her goodness and cheer, the sweetest, cheeriest, happiest of seasons. Her spirit is all about 11s. It fills the very air with its peace and contentment. Let us forget our troubles, enmities, and mis- fortunes while we add a voice to the chorus of praise to Him whose birthday we honor this month, and harken to His “Peace on earth; good will toward men.” For He died that we might live. Let us bury the past and build great hopes for the future, and fail not to notice our many bless- ings because of their continued presence. When, on Christmas Day. we gather round the festive board laden with food and drink galore, pause a moment to give a thought to the real significance of the day. A Happy, Merry Christmas to you all, gentle readers. With Christmas, too, comes her sweet com- panion. New Year’s, whom we must not forget. As we look back on the present year, we may sec many things to regret; we may sec many places where we have erred. But now we may begin again. We may put aside our remembrances and keep only joy, for we shall enter the New Year with light and buoyant hearts. So, merry bells, when you ring at the birth of the New Year, may you accomplish that of which the poet has sung: May you ‘•Ring out the old. ring in the new ; Ring out the false, ring in the true.” Besides bearing out our prediction of last month that the Red and Blue would down the Brown and White, the Rindge game proved a fit- ting climax to Somerville’s remarkable football season. Football is over, and the Radiator has the op- portunity of again congratulating a first-class team. The Red and Blue has kept up a fast pace throughout the season. It is safe to say that none of its opponents has undertaken so difficult a schedule. Practically every strong team in the vicinity has been met, and Somerville emerges with but a single defeat recorded against it, and that at the hands of a team which (as subsequent events have shown) was in no way its equal. It is unfortunate that this lone adversity should have presented itelf in such a way as to prevent our eleven from winnimr the championship of the Sub- urban League, of which it showed itself the worthiest member. Aside from its exceptional ability, the team has played the cleanest kind of game throughout. Each and every member deserves great credit. The substitutes, too, are worthy of no mean con- sideration for having contributed so much toward the team’s success. This has certainly been a banner year for school football. K K Now for hockey. � ► Congratulations, Malden high. A great distinc- tion for you. More copies of the November Radiator were disposed of than of any number since the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 Radiator was founded, except in the case of the June issue. The management takes this occasion to express its appreciation, and its hope that this interest and support will continue and increase. t . � Debating is probably enjoying more popularity in the school at present than ever before. Yet it would seem that it is not receiving the encour- agement it deserves. Pupils who neglect to avail themselves of the opportunities of the debating societies are losing a great deal of pleasure, as well as neglecting an opportunity for self-im- provement. r it , In preparing this issue of the Radiator, wc have been without the services of our assistant business manager, Walter I� . Wiley, M3, who has been sick for several weeks. His absence is keenly felt, as he is an efficient and earnest worker. It is gratifying to hear that he is on the road to recovery, and we trust he will soon be in the best of health. •t it it it Do you know that if you were to try your hand at writing a school song, you would find that you are a great deal better in that line than you ever imagined? And then, again, each of us knows some fellow- pupil who is good at this kind of work, but who is cither too uninterested or too backward to try. Let us stir up such friends. And. just by way of setting example, try it yourself. If you don’t win the competition, nobody’ll ever know it; and if you do, the Radiator will sec to it that every- body knows it. •t , K r Judging from present indications, it is safe to say that the Glee Club will be heard from to a considerable extent before long. r r it After listening to a number of Monday morn- ing recitations, we venture to submit this advice: If you let the cat out of the bag, don’t try to cram it in again; it only makes matters worse. . r Is it not fair to suppose that the dead languages have been killed by being studied too hard? � it it it Speaking about football, of course you have noticed that Malden, Newton, and Brockton ranked among the foremost high school teams.

Each school is to be represented by two teams, affirma- tive and negative. On Friday evening, March 8, 1912, there will be three debates on the same subject, one in each of the municipalities repre- sented. The general management of the league is con- trolled by a board of directors, three from each school. At a meeting of the board the following officers of the league were elected: President, L. H. Bell, Newton; vice-president, C. D. Hart. Somerville; secretary-treasurer, G. F. Hussey, Jr.. Brookline. The school winning both of its debates is to be awarded a handsome shield. It is hoped that much interest may be created in the league, re- sulting in benefit to all the schools. -----------.. ♦.--------------- S. lb. S. debating Society The first regular debate in the S. H. S. Debat- ing Society was held after the business meeting of '1 uesday. November 21, on the question, ’ Re- solved. that a reciprocal commercial treaty should be concluded between the United States and Canada.” The speakers for the affirmative were Chester E. Durning. T I. and Josephine Rourke, ’ll, and for the negative, John E. Lavcrty, ’12, and Dorothy Chequer, 2. Durning was the speaker in the affirmative’s rebuttal, and Lavcrty rebutted i r the negative. The judges were Mr. Tuttle, Miss Kimball, and Mr. Obcar, of the faculty. They decided in favor of the affirmative. The club held its second debate on Tuesday, December Vi. The question was “Resolved, that the prison should be a place of reform rather than of punishment of criminals.” Geraldine Gray and Lester Kirkpatrick were the affirmative speakers, while Frank Cahill and Lucile Sinclair supported the negative. The judges, Miss Davis and Miss Merrill, de- cided in favor of the negative. Xincoln debating Society The Lincoln Debating Society held the first icgular debate of its year after the regular meet- ing on Tuesday, December 5. Hie question was “Resolved, that United States senators should be elected directly by the peo- ple.” The affirmative was upheld by Robert C. Bourne, T’L and Frank Mahoney, T2; while Ed- ward Sinclair, ’LL and Eric Johnson, T3, sup- ported the negative. In rebuttal. Bourne spoke for the affirmance, and Johnson for the negative. Tiie judges were Miss Davis and Messrs. Wil- kins and Hosmer, of the school faculty. After being out for a considerable time, the judges de- cided in favor of the negative side. A great deal of interest was centred upon the debate, which is considered one of the best ever held in the Lincoln Society. A number of members of the S. H. S. Society were present at the debate as guests of the Lin- coln Society. Contributions tor School Song In answer to the call for a regular school song, a number of pupils have submitted verses, and it is expected that more will be received. This plan certainly deserves the co-operation and support of the pupils, and there is no good reason why a good song should not be obtained from among the members of so large a school. Several have also submitted designs for a school seal. Competition for the seal will close in a few weeks, so that those wishing to compete have no time to lose. — --------—------------------ — Another manifestation of the exceptional in- terest in school affairs that exists at present is the formation of a Senior Glee Club. The club has a membership of about twenty Seniors, with J. William Parks as leader. Though it has been organized only a few weeks, its progress has been remarkable and its pros- pects exceptionally bright. Rehearsals are held weekly in the hall.

The committee ratified Manager Bourne's hockey schedule, and appropriated $150. On the day following the meeting of the execu- tive committee, the players of this year's football squad unanimously elected Erling (“Dinger”) Doane captain of the football team of 1012. Doane has played on the Somerville High elevens of the last two seasons, and is a member of the class of 1913. This year Doane made an envious record as fullback, and was chosen to fill that position on all the various all-scholastic teams picked by the newspapers. ' Throughout the sea- son Doane has been the mainstay of the team. His tackling has been hard and sure, and his line- plunging unequalcd by any schoolboy backs. We wish our new captain the best of success. —— XI Commendation The following letter, which speaks for itself, was recently received by Mr. Avery from the Bos- ton Elevated Railway Company:— Charlestown, Mass., December 11, 1911. Mr. John A. Avery, Somerville High School, Somerville, Mass.:— Dear Sir: I feel that it is my duty to say a word in regard to the conduct of your boys during the football season just passed. Never before in my twenty-five years’ experi- ence in this business have I passed through a football season when it could be said that the boys had conducted themselves, while going to and from.the football games, in a manner above criti- cism. This year, however, while there has been plenty of enthusiasm shown, there has not been a single instance brought to my notice where the boys have not conducted themselves with due re- gard for the rights and comforts of others, and thus have been a credit to themselves and their school. There has also been an entire absence of the spirit, shown in the past, to damage the property of the company. I beg to take this means of expressing my ap- preciation of the efforts of those who have had to do with athletics in connection with your school. Yours truly, A. W. Senter, Division Superintendent. ----------—•+—+ • ♦ ••---- Xctters to a jfresbman [Continued from page 83.] them, in every possible way, towards victory. Somerville has been prominent for years in ath- letics, and in a high standard of scholarship, as well. Unfortunately for many reasons, you are a Freshman. Besides having to listen to this troublesome advice, you have another hardship upon your shoulders. You are forced to spend your afternoons in the recitation room. You have no time to try out for the athletic squads. You should remember the proverb, “Every dog has his day. The upper-classmen are enjoying the advantages of the free afternoon now. Cheer up, your day will, in its turn, surely arrive. In the meanwhile be a faithful follower of the school sports. Save up your odd pennies, eat a little less lunch at recess, and thus be in a financial condi- tion that will enable you to attend games. When you find yourself in the grand stand, take pains where you seat yourself. I don't mean to warn you that some of the seats are covered with fresh paint. 1 want to caution you not to place your- self among a group of girls, as your voice won't be heard then when the cheering comes along. Choose a place among some of your comrades.— fellows with good, lusty voices. When one of our own players does creditable work, don’t sit there with a contented grin. Jump up from your seat, unless it is covered with new paint, and cheer for all you arc worth. A student of a high school who can come home from a football game and have nothing the trouble with the sound of his voice is a disgrace to the school. Take heed of this, and manage to have a sore throat every Sat- urday night during the coming baseball season. I’ve written upon one subject only during this let- ter,—the value of out-of-door exercise. Remem- ber all that I've said, and you’ll be just one more step nearer the desired goal. Thanking you heartily for your very evident patience in allow- ing me to interfere with your pleasure for a third time, I remain. Your friend.

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes; Then one fowl is a goose, and two are called geese. Yet the plural of moose would never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hicc. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? Then cow in the plural may be cows or kine. But the plural of vow is vows, never vine; And a boy if repeated is never called bine. If I speak -of a foot and you show me your feet. And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth. Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth? If the singular’s this and the plural is these. Should the plural of kiss ever be kese? Then one may be that and three may be those. Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother, and also of brethren, But though we may say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are lie. his, and him. But imagine the feminine she, shis, and shim! So the English, I think you all will agree. Is the funniest language you ever did see. —Ex.

The Medford eleven came here undefeated, and glorying in a win over Everett the week be- fore. and to over-confidence may be laid her de- feat at the hands of the Red and Blue. Somer- ville got the start and had the advantage during the first half. Rut in the last two periods Med- ford used a dazzling open game which the Somer- ville players were totally unable to stop, and suc- cessful forward passes again and again brought Medford within scoring distance. Roth teams played a fast game. For Somer- ville. the work of Pitman excelled, while Garland. Parks, H. C. Merrill. Doane. and Dardis played well. For Medford. Lawless was the star, and Dwyer, Day, Twombley, and Paradise were con- spicuous for good work. Somerville’s touchdown came in the first four minutes of play. Medford kicked off to Pitman, who fumbled on his fifteen-yard line. Twombley picked up the ball on the run, and was downed on the Somerville eight-yard line by Jack Dardis. Medford was unable to gain in two rushes, and lost the ball on an incomplcted forward pass. Pitman was nailed for a loss on his own one-yard line, and Garland punted to Medford. Medford failed to gain, and lost the ball on another incom- pleted forward pass after a third down on Somer- ville’s eighteen-yard line. Lcland gained two yards, “Bob ten. Doane eleven, and Parks fif- HLETICS teen, bringing the ball near midfield. Medford held, and Garland made an onside kick, which Pitman recovered on Medford’s five-yard line, and dashed over the line for a touchdown. Parks kicked the goal. Somerville scored again in the second period, which opened with Somerville in possession of the ball on Medford’s four-yard line. Somerville could not push the ball over, and Medford punted to Pitman, who ran back twenty yards. Bradley lost, and an incomplcted forward pass made third down. Medford was penalized fifteen yards, giv- ing Somerville first down again. Bradley made two yards, and “Bob added four more. Here Parks tried a field goal, but the pass was bad. and he fumbled. Medford recovering. A try at the centre failed to gain, and on the next play Med- ford was penalized fifteen yards. A forward pass made up twelve yards, but a second attempt was incomplcted, and Somerville received the ball. A series of rushes by Leland, Pitman, and Garland carried the ball to the Medford eight-yard line. Garland then plunged through the line for a sec- ond touchdown, and Parks added the twelfth point by kicking the goal. Medford scored in the third period as the result of brilliant playing. Somerville kicked off to Medford, who failed to gain, and punted to Pit- man. Leland circled Medford’s left end for eleven yards, and Garland gained two yards on a try at centre. Doane made first down, but Somerville was penalized fifteen yards. “Rob punted to Lawless. Again Somerville forced the visitors to kick, and Garland made a fair catch. Another fifteen-yard penalty was inflicted on Somerville and the ball given to Medford. Three rushes netted Medford twenty-five yards, and on the next play Twombley broke through the line and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. The summary:— SO M ER VILLE. M ED FO R D.

Somerville, 0; Everett, 0 Somerville met Everett at Somerville field on Saturday. November 25, in one of the closest and best gridiron contests of the year, neither side being able to score. Everett's clever had l« 'en a favorite to win, but Somerville ''showen up strongly, and the teams seemed evenly matched. If either team had a shade on its opponent, it was Somerville. The line-bucking style of play was used more than the new game by both sides. Somerville, however, worked three forward passes. Pitman to Parks, that proved the sensa- tion of the season, and netted a number of coveted yards for the Red and Blue. The tackling was hard and sure. Fortunately, however, no one was injured. Only one change was made in the line-up of each team during the game. As a result of this tie, both elevens lost the chance of securing the Suburban League cham- pionship. which was settled on Thanksgiving Day by Medford winning over Malden. Somerville s showing was something of a surprise. In fact, if the referee's whistle had not ended the first half when Somerville had the ball about a half-yard from Everett's goal line on a first down, a victory for the Red and Blue would have been certain. At no time did the Everett aggregation have any- thing on the Somerville team. For Somerville, Parks, Garland, Doane. and Pitman excelled, while Bratt. Sweetland. Bricklcv, and Reed did well for the visitors. The sum- mary :— SOMERVILLE. EVERETT. Dardis, l.e....................r.e., Morando H. C.

Somerville, 42; iDelrose, 0 Somerville had no difficulty in defeating the weak Melrose eleven in a Suburban League game at the Somerville field on Thursday, November 23. Melrose fought gamely, but was completely overwhelmed, and when the final whistle sounded the Red and Blue had tallied forty-two points. The gridiron was very slippery, and fumbles were frequent. I he Somerville backs often had good openings, but a little slip would send a player headlong. Only this condition of the field prevented a larger score. In the last half Coach Mahoney sent in almost every substitute. Alto- gether. Somerville used thirty-two players, eleven of them going in at left end. Walter York was tried in the backfield, and did great work, dashing through the line again and again. Leland and Garland showed up well, and Parks played conspicuously, once running forty yards for a touchdown after catching a forward pass from Pitman, and again kicking a field goal from the thirty-two-yard line.

The game was close and exciting, and Somerville did not score until the final period. In the first half the Somerville eleven played as if in a trance, Doane apparently being the only man awake, but in the second half Somerville got started, and in the final quarter rushed the ball from her ten- yard line up the field, until Pitman finally circled left end for a touchdown. Rindgc put up a far better game than was expected, and in the first period came near scoring. The game was witnessed by many prominent men of both cities, among whom were Mayor Burns, of Somerville, and Mayor Barry, of Cam- bridge. A band was hired through the efforts of Somerville rooters, and the music added to the occasion. For Somerville. Doane, Parks. Pitman, and Garland played a remarkable game, and the whole line did well. For the Brown and White, Greene was the star, and not until lie was hurt and taken out did Somerville score. Amos, Rilcv. and Bingham played a good game. FIRST PERIOD. At 10.15 Parks kicked off to Greene, who ran back fifteen yards. Rindgc made two ineffectual attempts at the Red and Blue line, and then punted to Pitman. On the next play Lcland gained fifteen yards, but Garland was stopped on a try at centre, and punted to Riley, who ran back- twenty yards. Greene gained two yards, and Riley added a couple more. Harrell made four yards on a fake field goal formation, but Rindge was penalized for offside play. Bingham then tried to droplock a goal from the thirty-five-yard line, but the attempt was poor, and Pitman recov- ered the ball on his one-yard line. Garland im- mediately punted, and the ball went off at the twenty-five-yard line. Somerville held, and Bing- ham tried a goal from placement, which was blocked. Rindge recovering. Here Somerville re- covered a fumble by Amos, and Garland kicked to his twenty-vard line. A forward pass hit the •ground, and Bingham made a third try for a field goal. Again the kick was blocked, and Rindge recovered the ball. A bad pass from the centre caused a loss, and an end run failed to gain. Bingham then made a forward pass, which Krig- ger fumbled. Somerville receiving the ball. Two rushes gained only seven yards, and “Bob kicked to Rindge. Rushes by Riley and Greene gained twelve yards, but on the next play Rindge was penalized fifteen yards for holding. Rindge found the line for two yards, and an end run was stopped with no gain just as time was called. SECOND PERIOD. When the second period opened Rindgc had possession of the ball at midfield, third down, and immediately kicked to Pitman. Doane got two yards on a try at centre. Garland failed to gain, and dropped back to kick. The pass was bad. and “Bob” could only fall on the ball. Rindge gained six yards in two rushes, and an incom- plctcd forward pass gave the ball to Somerville. Doane made fifteen yards, and Garland gained eleven more. Somerville then suffered a fifteen- yard penaltv, a bad pass caused a loss, and an in- completed forward pass made third down. Gar- land punted to Greene, who ran back fifteen yards before he was tackled. Rindgc then lost the ball on downs, and Parks got ten yards on an end- around play. A forward pass from Pitman was incomplcted. and Garland kicked to Greene. An exchange of punts followed, and the period closed with Somerville in possession of the ball on her thirty-five-yard line. THIRD PERIOD. Parks kicked off to K rigger. Two rushes netted only five yards, and Greene kicked out of bounds at the Somerville fifty-two-yard line. Doane smashed through for eight yards, and Gar- land gained seventeen more, but Somerville was penalized fifteen yards for holding. Pitman gained twelve yards, and “Bob” made first down. Doane gained two yards, an incompleted forward pass added a down, and Garland’s onsidc kick failed to go twenty yards, Rindge receiving the ball. Amos gained eight yards, and Riley made first down, but the next play lost four yards, and Rindge kicked, the ball going out of bounds on the Rindge forty-five-yard line. Harrell then in- tercepted a forward pass from Pitman, but Rindge lost the ball on downs. Pitman tried another pass, which Riley caught. Rindge failed to gain, and Greene punted over the goal line, but Greene was not five yards back when he kicked, and the ball was brought back. He then punted to Pit- man. York gained only one yard, and Garland kicked to Greene, who ran back twenty yards. A scries of seven rushes brought the ball to the Somerville thirty-five-vard line, when tint, was called. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 97 FOURTH PERIOD. The period opened with Rindge in possession of the ball, third down, two to gain. Amos kicked to Pitman on the Somerville ten-yard line, and then Somerville opened up her attack. York gained two yards, Garland circled the end for twenty, Doane made five. York gained six. Gar- land went through for twelve yards. Doane got three, Parks gained twenty-five yards on an end- around play, and time was taken out for Greene, who was hurt in tackling Parks. On the next play Pitman shot around left end for a touchdown, but holding by Somerville was detected, and a fif- teen-yard penalty followed. Pitman gained five yards, and tried a forward pass, which Rilev inter- cepted. Amos lost two yards, and punted to Gar- land. Doane got five yards, Garland made eight. York gained four yards. Doane slipped without gaining, and Parks fell back to try a field goal The pass was not good. but. nevertheless, the at- tempt failed by only a few inches. Rindge tried to rush the ball from the twenty-five-yard line, but was forced to punt. After two unsuccessful rushes, Garland punted over the goal line. Rindge again was forced to kick from the twenty- five-vard line. On the next play Pitman took the ball himself and went around left end, close to the side line, for a touchdown. A large number of spectators claim that Pitman stepped outside on the fifteen-yard line, but the touchdown was finally allowed after a long argument by the Rindge players. Parks kicked the goal. Rindge kicked off to Parks, who ran back twenty-five yards. After two attempts to rush the ball. Garland punted over the goal line for a touchback. This punt was the best ever seen on the new field, as it traveled forty-five yards in the air, and rolled twenty more after striking the ground. Rindge was held, and punted to Somer- ville. ‘‘Bob’’ again kicked, and Parks nailed the man back of the line for another touchback. Rindge gained three yards, then lost two, and punted to George just as the whistle ended the game. The summary:— SOM ERVILLE. RIX DGE. Dardis (Heffernan. Townsend, Hopkins), l.e.. r.e..

A new field is always damp, and the steady rainfall didn't help matters. Melrose had lots of the right kind of fighting spirit, but not much else. Mr. Blodgett has “made good’ with the play- ers, .and the school in only a few short months. It was tough, luck to lose the Everett game. Five seconds more, and we would have won. No argument there. Rindge came back strong as is always the way. They had Somerville on the jump in the first two periods. Our cheer leaders. Bourne, Kaula, and Wood- man. have worked hard this fall, and their work has met with considerable success. Somerville cheering is much better than it used to be. The Thanksgiving Day band reminded one of the weather—a good deal of a frost. Of this year's football squad, Parks, Cohen, Herbert Merrill, Pitman. Heffernan. F. Anderson, Nelson. Mart ell. George. York, Lamont. L. Hopkins, and Kitchen will graduate next June. Howard Merrill, Wiley. Parmer. Dardis. Leland, Garland, Doane. A. Anderson. Bradley. J. Hop- kins, Townsend, and Ellis should be available in 1912. This has been a successful season. May next year also produce a fast eleven. Hockey practice in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium has been a successful novelty, and has enabled Captain Whittaker to find out the quality of the candidates long before ice was formed. The “gym” floor is as smooth as ice. and is well adapted for real hockey. How about that track team? All the newspapers have unanimously chosen Doane as fullback on the various All-Scholastic teams that have been picked from players in Greater Boston schools. A majority of papers have also chosen Parks and Garland on the sec- ond teams, although one or two picked Parks as first choice. 98 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR FACTS AND FIGURES.

Uinal, 12 A LEM in 1600 was a little town of half a hundred houses nestled among the wooded hills that overlook the sea. The inhabitants were either farmers or merchants. Jonathan Reed was one of the latter, though he also owned large meadow lands, which were worked by his servants under the charge of his son John. One pleasant afternoon late in May. Jonathan Reed, returning from Host on on horseback, rode into his dooryard. As he drew up to the steps of the low colonial mansion, a young girl came run- ning to meet him. and as he dismounted and gave the reins to a colored servant, she exclaimed: “Oh. father, please may I go to Great Hill and gather some laurel? Hrothcr Jack said he saw some there the other day. Aunt Penine said it wasn't safe for me to go so far. Hut what can harm me? Tell me that 1 may go.” and she plucked her father's coat sleeve and looked ap- pealingly up at him. ‘Yes. Dot. I think you may, he said thoughtfully, stroking her sunny hair, “but take Pashar with you for company, and be back be- fore sundown. He turned and gave some orders to one of the servants, while Dorothy hurried into the house, returning with a basket for the flowers, and a scarf which she knotted about her shoul- ders. Calling Pashar, she handed the boy the basket, kissed her father, and the two set off across the fields to Great Hill. lonathan Reed stood and watched them fondly out of sight. 11 is wife had died when Dorothy was small. Since then his maiden sister Penine had cared for his home. Mary Reed had been a beautiful woman, beloved by all for her sweet and gentle nature. Dorothy, now seventeen, showed signs of her mother's beauty. Her hair was light and curly, her eyes large and brown, and her fea- tures clear-cut. Hut she lacked her mother’s kindly nature, and was mischievous and high- spirited. though at heart tender and pure. Penine often scolded her brother for letting Dorothy have her own way. saying that she would never learn to care for a home of her own. Her brother would reply: “Let the child alone: it will be many years before she thinks of a home of her own, and I couldn’t spare her. anyway. fter a long walk. Dorothy, with Pashar lag- ging at her heels, reached Great Hill. Let's sit down and rest a minute,” she said, as they came to a big, Hat stone. Pashar needed no second in- vitation, and. tossing aside the basket, he threw himself at full length on the grass at her feet. She drew a packet of seed cakes from her pocket, and after they had eaten them, she said: “We must hurry now and pick our posies, for the sun is getting lower. All about among the rocks grew large clumps of the beautiful pink blossoms, and their basket was soon filled. “j wish 1 could take them all home,” said Dot, llitting from place to place. “See this handsome bush, Pashar. Help me pull it up. and we will take it home and plant it in my garden.” Pashar set down the basket, and they both pulled and tugged, but the plant was firmly rooted. Suddenly it gave way. Dorothy fell backward, her clenched hands striking her in the face and dazing her for a minute. But she scrambled up, and, picking up the bush, threw it as far as she could, saying: Since you want to stay here so much, you may. and turning to Pashar: Come, let's go home.” They reached home about twilight. Dorothy hastened to the living room, where she found her father pacing the fioor. He began to scold her. but she silenced him by drawing him into a seat by the fireplace and climbing into his lap. After supper she kissed her father, lighted her candle, and went to bed, saying that her eyes ached and she was tired. As she climbed the stairs, she heard her aunt saying: There. Jona- than. if she had stayed at home and sewed her quilt she would not be all tired out like this, and Dorothy smiled as she thought of how she tried the patience of her industrious aunt. Next morning when Dorothy awoke she dis- covered that her left eyeball was swollen and dis- colored. Her father was as puzzled as she was frightened, and dispatched Jack to town for the doctor. Dr. Littlefield came with pills and herbs. He made an examination, and told Dorothy that she must have picked some poisonous plant the day she went to Great Hill. He left medicine for her to take, and herbs in which to steep and bathe the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 105 afflicted eye, and went away, promising to come the next day. The next afternoon Dorothy and Mr. Reed were sitting in the living room with shades drawn. Dorothy's eyes were bandaged, for the light hurt them and made them throb and smart. “Gcn'lc- man to see you, massali.’’ said one of the servants, entering the room, followed by a young man. Mr. Reed rose and welcomed him. and suggested they go to the other room, where they might have more light, explaining his daughter's illness, as he noticed the stranger's questioning glance. I beg your pardon for intruding, sir.” said he. “My name is James Thorn, and I wanted to sec if you would sell a piece of meadow land over near the hill there. But as you are engaged, 1 will call some other time.” and he moved towards the door. Please do not mind me. sir, if you wish to see my father. said Dorothy, raising the bandage from her eyes. As the light struck them, she ut- tered a cry of pain and replaced the bandage, but not before she had seen the tall, dark stranger gaze at her with a look both of admiration and of pity. If you would not think me bold. I wish I might examine your eyes. Miss------ Dorothy. said her father. Receiving permission from both. Mr. Thorn moved to Dorothy’s side. and. placing himself be- tween her and the window, removed the bandage. Dorothy found herself looking into the face of a very pleasing young man. His hair and eyes were black, his complexion clear, and his features well cut. He gently turned back her eyelids, and quickly replacing the cloths, said with a look of satisfaction: “If you will allow me. I am going to get something which I think will cure this case.” Certainly, certainly.” said Mr. Reed. Mr. Thorn mounted his horse, which stood at the door, and rode olT. He soon returned, just as Dr. Littlefield was entering the house. “Doctor, let Mr. Thorn try something which he has before we go any further. said Mr. Reed, in- troducing the two. “Well, let him try, said the doctor impatiently, but inflammation has set in. and I sec nothing to do but send her to Boston and have her eyes operated on if you wish to save her eyesight. Indeed.” said Mr. Reed, “why didn't you tell us this before if you didn't understand the case.-' Mr. Thorn took a handkerchief from his pocket and untied it. The doctor looked, and saw there four or five large leeches. Well, what good are those things? he grunted. “Wait and see. replied Mr. Thorn quietly. He removed the bandages from Dorothy’s eyes once more, and put one of the leeches on each temple. Soon the eyeballs began to resume their natural color. The doctor thought it was useless for him to remain. “ hat do you call this disease. Mr. Thorn, and I10W do you account for the wonderful recovery? he asked, as he collected his belongings. T hat is something I do not care to tell, re- plied the other. Perhaps.you would explain if you were called before the court for witchcraft, said the doctor, and that's what I call it. pure and simple. Please take your leave.” said Jonathan Reed. Witchcraft nothing! Simply because you didn't know what to do. you call up that impossible reason. Well, we'll see what Salem court calls it.” angrily replied the doctor. I intend to have an explanation of this miracle, and he hastily de- parted. Three days later James Thorn, through Dr. Littlefield’s influence, was summoned before the Salem court. When asked to explain his treat- ment. he said he had seen a similar case before, and so knew what to do. But this did not satisfy the judges. They con- victed him of witchcraft, and commanded him to leave the town within twenty-four hours, saying: “ These doings must be stopped. Protest from Mr. Reed was of no avail, and Mr. Thorn re- turned to the tavern to collect his belongings, in preparation for leaving. He found a messenger awaiting him from Boston with news that a friend was dying and wished to see him. He dispatched the messenger with a note to Mr. Reed’s, saying he would return secretly as soon as he could, and then set out. Oh. father! exclaimed Dorothy, when she read the note, he must not come back here. They might catch him and harm him. What shall we do? Just to think what lie's done for me. and now he must be made to suffer for it! Oh, when will the time come when people will cease to be so foolish! And she hid her head in her hands and began to sob. Three days later Dorothy was down in the pas- ture near the Peabody road, when she heard the approach of a horseman. It was none other than James Thorn. Dorothy called to him: he dis- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR io5 mounted with pleasure and surprise and went to meet her. He had returned to get his belongings at the tavern and to bid her good-by. I he tears came to her eyes, and she thanked him for his great kindness and begged him not to forget her. “Indeed, I could not forget you, Dorothy, he said, my heart would not let me. Dare I hope that you have any feeling other than gratitude for me?” he asked. The answer we can imagine from the fact that Dr. Littlefield, who had been watching the two from behind a clump of bushes, saw James Thorn lift Dorothy’s face in his hands and place a kiss upon her lips. “Ha! he thought, “your first and last, my young fellow. You’re a sly one, all right. That night, when James Thorn went to the tavern, he was captured by the men of the town and hurried before the judge again. “The prisoner has been charged with witchcraft and ordered to leave the town. Having dis- obeyed, he is subject to death at the stake. Guard him carefully, lest he escape in some mysterious way, and on the morrow we shall do our duty.” With permission, Thorn sent a note to Mr. Reed asking him to come and stay with him till the last, and begging him to keep all the news from Dorothy until it was over. Early the next morning they led him forth to • the centre of the town, where stood the gruesome, fatal post. Mr. Reed was bowed with grief, and his heart burned within him when he thought of . the cruel act about to take place. They tied him to the stake, and all was in readi- ness for the deed, when down the road came a man on horseback. He rode up to the crowd, and, waving a paper in the air, cried: “Free the prisoner at the stake! By order of the king, no more shall be killed for witchcraft!” They cut the cords that bound him, and he staggered to the side of Mr. Reed, who put out his arm and supported him, saying: “Brace up, my boy: come home with me and sec what Dorothy can do for thee.” Dorothy often tells her grandchildren how, while gathering laurel, she struck herself in the eyes, causing “iritis, a new disease to old Salem; how a stranger cured it in a strange way, for which lie was convicted of witchcraft and was to be burned at the stake: how he was saved by the king’s message, and went home to be cared fer by Dorothy—for life. ■------------------- ©nl£ a 3irl J6 ? iRutb %. Sawder, T2 HEX Constance North was nineteen and her brother Philip was twenty- two, they were left orphans. Philip was in college, and as they had no other means of gaining a livelihood, he had to leave and look for work. It was not long before his uncle, an old lighthouse keeper, got him a j osition as assistant keeper. The lighthouse was on a lonely little rock- bound island about a mile and a half off the New England coast. Philip loved to mount the wind- ing stairs in the lighthouse each night and send the rays far out across the water. One day. when they had not been there long, a little skiff stopped at the island. The man who came in it told Philip that he and his uncle were needed in Boston on very urgent business. He asked if there were not some one to leave at the lighthouse. Constance was the only one, of course, but Philip was afraid to leave her alone. “Oh, don’t worry about me, she said, when they told her. “I will be sure to light the lamp in die lighthouse, and everything will be all right.” . i last they started. The afternoon passed quickly for ( onstance. She had many duties to attend to. Before she realized it, it was dark. She ran to the window, looked out, and started back. The sky was black with clouds, and the sea was tossing great waves up on the rocks. She immediately went to light the great lamp, and then hurried back to the cozy little sitting room, where it was warm and light. For a long time Constance tried to read. But the furv of the sea had terrified her. and she could think only of the storm outside. She went to the window and looked out. 1 lie rain and wind were beating the window panes. She could hear the roar of the surf on the rocks and the whistle of the wind around the little house. All was blackness out there across the water, except in the paths of light from the lighthouse. There she could see the water toss and tumble in monstrous waves. Suddenly, as she looked, she exclaimed aloud. There was something out there that looked like a sail! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 107 Constance caught up the glasses from the table and ran up the long flight of stairs and out on the little railed balcony at the top of the lighthouse. She looked through the glasses at that tossing ob- ject. It was a tiny sailboat! One minute it would rise to the top of a big black wave, then it was lost from sight. All the time it was mov- ing nearer and nearer the rocks. What should she do? She knew that it could not live in that awful sea. Suddenly, and even as she looked, the tiny boat turned completely over, and she could sec two figures clinging to the bottom! There was no time to think of fear, for something must be done immediately. The next minute Constance was flying down the stairs and out to the boathouse. In about five minutes she had a rowboat launched, and with al- most superhuman strength was rowing through the awful surf! As she neared them, she shouted as loud as she could to be heard above the roar of the water: Don’t give up! Help is coming!” At last she reached the capsized boat, and found two young men, half dead, clinging to the bottom of the boat with all their remaining strength. W ith as much help as Constance could give them, they managed to get into her rowboat. Then Constance, almost dead with fatigue, guided the boat back to the island and in among the rocks she knew so well. The rest of the night Constance spent in doc- toring the two young men. Philip and his uncle returned the next day at the earliest possible hour. They had felt great anxiety for Constance, well knowing that the storm must have been awful on the coast. They were told the story of that terrible night. You're a brave little girl. said Philip, putting his arm about his sister. He was much surprised to find that one of the young men was Dick Crowell, one of his cbllegc chums. Dick took a great liking to Constance, and their friendship ripened, leading to future happiness for both. ♦ tlbe SSoavfctng School flfo stery 36b jflora 3E. Stevens T2 H, dear!” wailed Beth Lewis to her roommate. Alice Burns. I wish you would read this theme and see what is the trouble with it. 1 have written it over four times, but it does not sound any better than before. Alice was reading the theme, when the door opened and a dozen girls entered the room. How can you study, exclaimed Mae ilson, the leader of the group, when to-night is the reception!” For weeks the girls of Weston Seminary had been looking forward to the reception to their new president, Mrs. Barnes, and now they could hardly wait until the evening. By half-past eight the large hall was filled with happy girls, many of the alumnae, and distin- guished guests. During the evening Edith Col- lins discovered that her diamond ring, a gift of her dead father, and highly prized, was missing. She rushed up to a group of girls, among whom was one named Grace Sheldon, and exclaimed: Girls, what shall I do? 1 have lost my ring! Why, Edith. said two or three girls in one voice, how did you lose it? Edith did not answer at once, but suddenly her face brightened, and she replied: “How silly of me! I remember now that I took it off and laid it on my bureau. While the girls were still talking to Edith, Grace Sheldon, whose room was on the same floor as Edith's, excused herself, saying: Will one of you girls excuse me to Mrs. Barnes? I have a sick headache, and am going to retire. Don't you want me to walk over with you?” asked Alice Wilson. Grace refused to let her, saying: Stay and enjoy yourself. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing, and as Edith Collins was very tired when she went to her room, she did not think of her ring. The next morning, when she looked on her bureau, the ring was not there. She told Alice, and the two girls searched the whole room. The search proving fruitless. Edith called the teacher who had charge of that floor, and the matter was reported to Mrs. Barnes, the presi- dent. who began an investigation. A week passed, and there was nothing heard of the missing ring. During that week several small trinkets and pieces of money were missed. One morning Grace Sheldon was called to the president’s office. Miss Sheldon. said the president, I am sorry to have to speak like this, but everything must be done that is possible to SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ioS find Miss Collins’ ring. When you left the re- ception the other night, did you for any reason enter Miss Collins’ room?” Grace Sheldon turned very white, and replied: Yes, I went in after a book that 1 left there the day before. Mrs. Barnes looked very grave when she asked: “Did you sec Miss Collins’ ring in the room?” “No,” replied Grace, “1 got my book from the table and returned directly to my room. The girl answered the questions so readily and frankly that Mrs. Barnes hesitated before say- ing: “I am grieved to hear that you entered the room, because as you were the only person in the dormitory at the time, it looks rather black for you. You may go to your lessons, as usual, until you hear from me again.” As in a daze Grace returned to her room, and could not be consoled by her friends, who in- quired what the trouble was. For the next few days she kept away from the other girls, and stayed in her own room evenings when the girls went out to lectures and concerts. A few days later Grace was again called to the office and asked if she could tell where Edith’s ring was. She still said that she had not seen the ring. It was known that Grace was the only person who entered the dormitory the night of the re- ception. The trustees offered to give her this last chance to confess. She refused, and was told by Mrs. Barnes that she was expelled from the seminary. In vain Grace begged to remain. It will break my mother's heart, she cried, “if I am sent home in such disgrace!”’ “I am sorry, Grace.” said Mrs. Barnes, “but you should have thought of that before. You admit yourself that you were in Edith’s room, and that no one else was in the building.” Grace was allowed to remain for two days, in order to pack her things. The night before her departure some of the girls who could not believe she was the guilty person went into her room. Grace was in bed. crying bitterly, and when spoken to replied in a broken voice: “Please go away, girls! You must not talk with a girl whom every one calls a thief.” Finding it was useless to try to comfort her, the girls went out, and Grace soon fell asleep. I he girls went into Edith Collins’ room, where in subdued voices thej spoke of Grace’s disgrace. Just before the bell rang for all to return to their rooms. Edith’s door was opened, and a small, white figure with flowing hair entered the room. The girls stifled their screams as Edith raised a warning hand. “It is Grace!” Edith exclaimed in a whisper: “don't attempt to awaken her. but see what she will do.” It was plainly seen that Grace was walking in her sleep, and the girls held their breath as she glided across the room. She stopped in front of the bureau, reached out. and picked up a brooch that was lying there, and turned toward the door again. All the girls followed her as she went back to her room, where she took a small box out of a bureau drawer and placed the pin in it. As she went toward her bed. she stumbled and would have fallen, but one of the girls caught her. With a scream she awoke, and, not recognizing her room, cried: Oh. girls, where am I. and why are you all dressed, while I am ready for bed?” In the meantime Edith Collins had called Mrs, Barnes. They looked in the small box and found the missing ring and all the small articles which had been lost. At last the mystery was solved, and as the girls gathered around her, Grace told them how her mother had tried for years to cure her of the dreadful habit of walking in her sleep. tube Temptation J6 ? iHclen m. fl ont , M3 HE dismissal bell rang through the school. Slowly the algebra class of division A filed out of the room, scarcely pausing to listen to the teacher’s voice, calling: “Just a moment, please, Lawrence.” “You wish to speak to me, Mr. Dawson?” asked Robert Lawrence, as he turned back into the schoolroom. “Yes, Lawrence, you haven’t been doing sat- isfactory work in your algebra during this term. Your standard in scholarship is far below par. You know what that means? Unless you do ex- cellent work in the next examination, I shall have to put you off the team. Just imagine how hard my position is—both coach and teacher! Don’t you see that it is doubly hard on me?” Yes, sir, I sec your point of view, but I don’t SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 109 see how I’m going to remedy the matter. Why, Mr. Dawson, I've spent hours on that algebra, only to have every problem wrong. I never can pass that examination!” “I know, Bob, it’s discouraging, to say the least, but you must pass.” “But, Mr. Dawson, I have to spend my after- noons on the field, or else I’d soon be out of training.” “Why don’t you get into this game and tackle it with some enthusiasm? You say, ‘Oh, I can’t do algebra,’ and give up without trying half hard enough. Do you say: ‘Oh. the other team will win. anyway, so I won’t bother to try’? No, of course you don’t: nobody knows that any bet- ter than I do. You’ve got grit on the field: you don't play the coward there. Why be a coward in this game? Play a fair game, and you'll win!” ‘T understand, then, that unless 1 pass credit- ably on the next examination, 1 can’t play football again?” ‘‘Yes, Bob. I’m sorry, but that’s the situation. We must win that game with Ridge High. We can’t win without our fullback. Do we win or lose? Without another word. Mr. Dawson left the room. Lawrence was alone at his desk. Open- ing his algebra, he began to work vigorously. For a time his thoughts were on the game, until, with an effort, he concentrated his mind on the task directly before him. For an hour silence reigned; only the ticking of the clock reached his ears, but he paid no heed. At last he arose to get another sheet of paper from Mr. Dawson’s desk. Lawrence opened the top drawer, but shut it again quickly. Pie looked around the room and sighed. Now the clock began to tick with ominous foreboding. Again Bob opened the drawer, and started at the big black letters written on the envelope therein. Those words, “Algebra Examination for Division A,” danced before his eyes. Like black demons, they seemed to laugh, to mock, and to jeer at him. Apprehensively Lawrence glanced hurriedly around the room. After softly shutting the drawer, he tiptoed toward the door, grasped the knob, and pushed the door slightly ajar. Then down the corridor his eyes penetrated search- ingly. Not a soul in sight—but hark!—Bob started guiltily, for some one was coming up the stairs. Now he paused—ah! what a relief!—it was only the cracking of the stairway at the end of the corridor. The door was closed carefully. Back to the desk he tiptoed, stopping to listen at each re-echoing step. Still that awful silence, which was broken for a second when Bob pulled the drawer open—just a crack. His guilty eyes gazed once more in terror around the room. Stealthily he slid his hand inside the drawer, as he slowly withdrew the envelope. Instantly he jumped, and the envelope fell to the floor with a dull thud, but the sound he thought he heard was only caused by his own imagination. He opened the flap with trembling fingers, while he pulled nervously at the papers until they were halfway out. Would those letters never cease their fiendish torture! He paused. Before his mental gaze appeared a smiling face, soft and dimpled, then two merry blue eyes peeped out at him from beneath the waving golden hair. Two rosy lips smiled hap- pily at him. until, gradually, the whole lithe form of the girl who had been iiis comrade since their “mud pie days appeared. Above her head she waved their school banner in time to the music of their school song. With something half sigh and half sob. Bob Lawrence pushed the envelope back into the drawer, hastily closing it. Blindly stumbling back to his scat, he dropped into it. With his head cupped in his hands, he shook from head to foot. He recovered himself after a while, and began to work on his algebra with renewed vigor. He worked like a Trojan until Mr. Dawson returned. At the sound of his step Bob shuddered. Mr. Dawson spoke a cheery “Well, how goes it. Bob? Any better than before? “Yes, sir. I've succeeded. ‘Good! Why. boy. what is the matter? Are you ill? You must be. Look how you tremble! Your forehead is damp and wet with great beads of perspiration, and your checks burn like fire. You must not work so hard. You had better go home.” “Thank you, sir. I will go now. if I may. I don't feel quite like myself to-day. A week later, on examination day. when divi- sion A filed in to their algebra class, Bob’s face alone glowed, as if possessed by a spirit of buoy- ant happiness. His countenance was that of one who is ready for the fight to win or lose—at least t do his best. The figures seemed to dance merrily into their respective places. Each problem seemed deter- mined to be solved correctly. Just ns the last figure was made, the bell rang. “Time’s up. called Mr. Dawson. When the last scholar had left the room. Lawrence approached him. saying: “Please correct that examination for me now, Mr. Daw- [Con tinned on page 113.] I IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “5� st a JSatcb of jfutigc” Bg Catherine G. Owens, M2 FTER a week's hunting and disap- pointment, Ethel and Betty decided on a room which seemed in every particular satisfactory to them. The girls, exhausted as a result oi the excitement and work, longed for the comforts of an orderly room. Doesn’t it seem good to get home at last!” sighed Ethel, as she seated herself on one of the nearest trunks. I am glad we don’t move often. Oh, dear! where is Betty? It seems as though she would never come!” Here I am!” cried Betty, staggering up the stairs under numberless small boxes and other moving necessities. It’s a cosy room, don’t you think so, Ethel? That alcove will be lovely for our stove.” Yes, but just sec what I found hanging on the chandelier,” and Ethel produced a bright green card, on which was printed in threatening black letters:— Xo cooking allowed in any of the rooms. No exceptions made.” Oh. dear!” gasped Betty, as she sank into a chair. What shall we do?” Ethel, not so easily worried, answered laugh- ingly: What shall we do? Why, turn the card like this,” and she turned the card so that the writing faced the window. Mr. Lord will think the wind has done it,” and Ethel laughed mer- rily as she arranged some of their furniture, first this way and then that. But, Ethel.” interrupted Betty. Yes, in just a minute. I can’t seem to fix this stove.” answered Ethel. Perhaps we’d better not have the stove. sug- gested Betty. She turned quickly and saw Ethel standing in front of her. In either hand she held pieces of the stove; her hair was loose and fell over her flushed face. One look was all that Betty needed, for she quickly added: Yes, we will; you would be dreadfully disappointed if we didn’t, wouldn’t you. dear?” Well. I'm so glad you have corrected your- self. No one will ever know it, and oh, such fun as we shall have!” “Perhaps when we arc cooking some one will smell the food, said doubtful Betty. Well, of course, you may sit there and hunt for trouble if you want to, but I’m not going to worry till I have to. I feel just like eating something, I don’t know what it is, but some- how something seems to tell me that it's candy. Do you feel like some?” ' No, I don’t, but make some if you want it,” replied Betty. I know what the trouble is with you. You’re afraid of the possible consequences. I can fix those, and she threw open the window as she placed the chocolate on the stove. Now, who can smell it?” Now it happened that upstairs there lived a young man and his mother. The mother, being an elderly woman, spent much of her time sew- ing in her window, which, unfortunately for Ethel, was directly over the alcove. I certainly must be dreaming, but I think I smell fudge. It brings back the 'fudge days certainly,” said Mrs. Thornton to herself. Say, mother, some one’s breaking a rule downstairs,” announced Tom. as he entered the room sniffling. Wonder who it can be! Can’t be Mrs. Smith: she lost her taste for fudge forty years ago. It certainly isn’t Mr. Hill; he wouldn’t know how. It’s funny, but you can smell it plainly coming upstairs.” 1 was just thinking that very thing myself, but it must be next door, I guess. There’s a rap. Tom, answer it.” Tom opened the door, and there stood poor Ethel; her Hushed face told a story before she spoke at all. “Oh—well, well, you see—you arc a machinist, aren’t you? I saw your sign in the window. Would you mind coming downstairs a minute? I have something for you to do,” stammered Ethel, gaining courage at every word. Why, yes, certainly, I shall be down directly,” and Tom went in to tell his mother. He’s coming! he's coming! cried Ethel, as she came into her room, he’ll be down in a minute. Oh. stop that crying, see how brave I am!” and as Betty looked she saw two tears roll down Ethel’s red checks. Right in here. Mr.-------” “Thornton,” Tom supplied. I really haven’t anything for you to do at all in the line of machinery, but you see, well, well. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 111 we made fudge, that was all, and I put it out on that little piazza-like place out there, and when, five minutes later. I looked for it. it was gone! Now, who could have taken it but Mr. Lord himself? Oh, dear, we shall certainly lose our room!” and Ethel for the first time actually sobbed. Poor Tom! What was he to do? He had often been in a fix, he thought, but never in one with two frightened, crying girls. He must do something. He’d gladly do anything for Ethel, he felt. It had taken less than five minutes to tell him that the usual phrase was persuading him: “She’s so different from other girls.” That will be all right,” he at last began. “Knowing Mr. Lord very well. I guess I can ob- tain forgiveness for you; do not worry about it, anyway.” Tom and Mr. Lord held a conference, in which Tom’s eloquence for Ethel saved the day. “Making fudge isn’t real cooking, anyway. he argued, and Mr. Lord’s ignorance on the subject enabled Tom to gain his request. I think Mr. Thornton is just as kind as he can be. don’t you, Betty? Wasn’t that a bright thought of mine? I don’t know what made me go to him, unless it was fate. And then I told a little lie to him. too, didn’t I?” “Oh, yes, 1 just knew something would hap- pen. It always does when one docs what is wrong, you know. said Betty decidedly. That will be enough, Betty; don’t, don’t make it worse by preaching. I don't care, I like Tom Thornton,” and Ethel began rocking furi- ously. It was sometime afterward, when Tom and Ethel were coming downstairs, that they met Mr. Lord, who was busily engaged talking to a new boarder. As he saw Ethel coming, he turned, and. facing her, said very distinctly: Yes, I am particular in only one thing, and that is that there shall be no cooking in any of the rooms: no exceptions shall be made.” Fortunately for Ethel, the listener did not notice her quickened pace nor her painfully scarlet cheeks, nor did he hear her say. as she pulled Tom’s sleeve: “Isn’t he mean?” And the comforting words of Tom: “And you weren’t really cooking, anyway, clear; that was the argument I used, you remember.” IRevenqe J6 ? Josephine Simpson, T2 URA WILSON’S room was filled with six very excited and indignant young ladies, six of the brightest and cleverest girls in the senior class of 1911. “Well, I’d just like to see him! said Mildred Bent. It’s a wonder he’d sign his initial to such a thing as this,—E. B.,— I know that’s either a very old man or----- “I tell' you, girls.” interrupted Virginia, “we’ve just got to find out who wrote that: it s our duty to ourselves and to women in general. Listen: Mi the colleges would teach more of the feminine charm which is commonly attributed to women, instead of having them try to compete in sports, she read. “Now isn't that simply too dreadful!’ Guess he’s never seen me play golf, said Marion: lie’s probably a cramped old man who can’t tell a tennis racquet from a golf club! What’s all this about?” asked Gladys Sprague, who had just come in from recitation. I know it’s something dreadful by your faces. lias Prexie made any more horrid rules, or is there an epidemic of smallpox? “Oh. it’s perfectly dreadful. Gladys; come here and read this article in the Morning Journal.” called one of the girls, who was sitting Turk- fashion, nibbling bon-bons. Gladys took the paper and read the heading, The Inability of College Girls in Athletics,” then she glanced at the initials. “Oh, girls, if you’ll keep quiet exactly sixteen seconds 1 will try to think where I have seen E. B. before.” The girls were too astonished to speak, and for sixteen seconds not a sound was heard. “I have it!” Gladys announced at last. “E. B. can be no other than Mr. Edward Brooks, a man who isn’t a genius, but thinks he is: he's really a good sort of a chap, a friend of my brother’s, and. girls, he thinks he's inspired by the Muse, and listen, I have an idea; we’ve just got to get even with him. We’ll write him a letter asking him to visit us, and he’ll come, feeling highly compli- mented, too.” Just the thing!” cried the girls in chorus, “we’ll make E. B. feel like a molecule!” So after each had offered her suggestion, the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I 12 important missive was written. This was the letter:— “Claverly Hall. 'Pembroke College. “My dear Mr. Brooks: We, the girls of Clav- crly Hall, have read your article in the Journal. We agree with you perfectly, and all are interested to meet you. 1 am writing to invite you to visit us Tuesday next. 1 assure you, Mr. Brooks, that everything will be done to give you a lasting im- pression of the college and, incidentally, material for new articles. “Very sincerely yours, “Gladys Sprague. “R. S. V. P. “May n, 1011.” The letter was posted amid gales of laughter and great anticipation for Tuesday. “What are you going to do to him?” asked one of the girls. Well, you’ll see,” she answered. That night Gladys called a meeting in her room, and the whole conspiracy was planned. S $ 2 To say that Mr. Edward Brooks was astonished on receiving the letter would be putting it rather mildly. He felt that it was a wonderful compli- ment to his work, lie answered the letter in the affirmative, and eagerly looked forward to Tues- day next. It was 2.30 when the train pulled into the little station of Pembroke and off jumped the happy and elated Mr. Brooks. Two of the girls, Gladys and Virginia, were there to escort him to the col- lege. Why, how do you do, Mr. Brooks!” they both exclaimed at once, ‘we are so glad to see you!” I must tell you. girls, this is a great opportu- nity to see the college, and I truly thank you. Shall I get the trap?” said Mr. Brooks. “Now, Mr. Brooks, you wouldn't think of rid- ing that short distance. It's only four miles, and nothing for you men,” said Virginia, winking at Gladys. “Oh, no—cr—of course not—certainly,” stam- mered Mr. Brooks, inwardly cursing the man that hadn't made the train stop exactly in front of the campus. Mr. E. B. acted bravely, in fact, quite heroically, and arrived at the college in about two hours. Ilis collar was wilted, he was hot and tired, and had no idea that four miles could be so long. They were met by the rest of the girls, who greeted him as enthusiastically as if he had been Roosevelt or Robert Edison. “Oh, Mr. Brooks, you must show us how to play tennis! We know you are an expert by the masterful way in which you criticised our feeble playing,” said Marion. So poor I-.. B. was led to the court, where he piffled ff his coat and began. Now E. 15. couldn’t play tennis all alone with his best friend, and find- ing himself the centre of interest of a dozen girls was too much. Ilis opponent was an expert, and soon E. 15. lost everything, while his awkward movements made fun for the girls. No use,” he said at last desperately, “my sprained wrist won’t let me play any more, cr—as much as I would like to.” “Sprained wrist! You poor, dear man,” said the girls, of course you can't play tennis. We’re so sorry! Does it hurt you very much?” No, it's all right, er—what time is it? replied E. 15. “Mr. Brooks, wouldn’t you like to see our track.' It's the best in the country, and you must try it, said Gladys sweetly. It was no use, E. 15. could not dodge the per- sistent girls, and two minutes later found him running around the track looking very foolish and very much like a non-athlete, fie was all fagged out, embarrassed, angry, and humble, and was willing to recognize women as the champions of the world, if necessary. He has a bright idea. “Girls. 1 almost forgot,” he said, I am very sorry, but I have just remembered an important engagement, so you must excuse me. What time docs the next train leave?” He was told, and Gladys drove him to the sta- tion. Never was a man more ill at ease. After they had gone about two miles, she said: “Mr. Brooks, will you forgive us for .our joke? We really couldn’t help it. It has all been so funny. But, Mr. Brooks, that article was so dreadful we really had to get even.” Oh. it’s all right, girls, only”—then lie began to laugh—“you are the brightest and most charm- ing set of girls I have ever been fortunate enough to meet, and you certainly can run, walk,—and, by George, but couldn’t that girl with the light hair play tennis! then lie laughed again. Just then the train whistled, and Mr. Brooks mounted the platform, waving good-by to Gladys. It was a grand lesson for him, and since then he has never written an article without first being sure of his subject. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR fllbarte’s Ifmntation 36$ l3a.seI tlpton, ’12 H, girls! Are you going to the dance to-night?” and Estelle came rushing into the room, out of breath and ex- cited. Five girls, seated comfort- ably around the open fire, were dis- cussing the same question, when Es- telle rushed in. The cause of this excitement was a dance to be given that evening in a hall to be opened for the first time. One or more of their number had been to every dance that had taken place this win- ter, and the girls were very anxious to have at least one attend this dance. They were all curi- ous to know who was there, what happened, etc. Just then the telephone rang, and Estelle an- swered. Hello! Yes, Marie is here.” Oh, Marie! Marie! You are wanted and who do you suppose it can be?” Marie came to the telephone, looking as bewildered and surprised as the res't of the girls, for no one ever thought of calling up Marie. Marie was the youngest of the six girls, and also the most bashful. She did not care for parties and dances, like the other girls, and very 'Seldom went. The girls could hardly wait for her to stop talking to ask her questions, for they heard her say: “Yes. 1 will go at 7.30.” They took it for granted that Marie had an invitation to the dance. Hardly had Marie hung up the receiver, when the girls crowded around her, and cried:— Aren’t you going to the dance to-night? Whom are you going with?” What arc you going to wear?” Please tell us whom you are going with, Marie,” asked Estelle. ‘‘Oh. with Jack,” stammered Marie. ‘‘Jack, the president of our class, and the great football player!” exclaimed Estelle, completely surprised. Yes,” answered Marie, trying hard not to laugh. “Well, Marie Dodd, aren’t you the luckiest, and to think that not one of us girls is going!” Xever mind. I’ll tell you all about it to- morrow. Now see how late it is getting. 1 must hurry home and get ready.” “Can’t we see you when you arc ready?” asked the girls. “Oh. no,” quickly answered Marie, not to- night, for I shall be in too much of a hurry. I will see you at school to-morrow,” called Marie running down the stairs. The next day five girls appeared unusually early at school, all anxiously waiting and watching for Marie. Put Marie did not come. Oh. girls! cried Estelle, Marie must have had such a good time last night that she was too tired to come t: school. Ail come down to my house this afternoon, and we will go and see what happened to Marie.” That afternoon the girls went to Marie’s house, and were told bv her mother that she was not in. “Why wasn’t she at school to-day?” asked one of the girls. “She did not feel well this morning, so decided not to go,” answered Mrs. Dodd. Estelle, who was very anxious to know about the dance, asked if Marie had a good time. Why. what dance?” asked Marie’s mother, very much astonished. “Didn’t Marie go to the dance in the new hall last night?” they all asked. “Why, no,” answered Marie’s mother. “Her brother telephoned her in the afternoon to meet him at half-past seven, to bring a package home from the officc; She was back in half an hour.” Oh! they all cried, looking at each other and laughing, that is the time Marie fooled us, but we’ll get even with her.” ------------------------------ Cbe temptation [Continued from page 109.] son.

Captain Whittaker has some good material which ought to make a very creditable showing. Besides, we have this year for the first time a hockey coach, which surely means extra strength. Hockey is making a rapid advance as a school sport, and bids fair to supplant basket ball. Then get out and root for the hockey team, and show that Somerville High is not totally dead in the circle of winter sports. � r By the death of James J. O’Neil. T3, great sor- row is brought to the hearts of his many school friends. In him the school has lost one of its most promising and best beloved members. We shall not attempt to eulogize him. now that he is gone, any more than if he were still with us. The power is not ours to write an appropriate eulogy for our departed friend. To know him was to love him. And they loved him best who knew him best. Though he has left a void in the hearts of his friends that can never be filled, they will long remember his kindly face, his ever- present. winning smile, his gentle manner, and his warm, true friendship. He has passed to a higher, brighter life. The Radiator extends its sincere sympathy to his bereaved family, and we feel sure that this sympathy is shared by all in the school who came in contact with him. Requiescat in pace. Sincere thanks to the members of the school for their generous support so far this year. May it continue. We have only these things to com- plain about: The stories are rather too short, and too few of them are written by the fellows. . . r ► In accordance with the Radiator custom, the March issue will be an alumni number. We shall try to obtain contributions from alumni of long standing, as well as from those of recent years, thus making the issue representative of the whole number of Somerville High School gradu- ates. We trust that the alumni will take an in- terest and help as much as is in their power. The advice or counsel of our older brothers and sis- ters would surely be favorably received,—pre- sented. for instance, in the form of a serious article on business or college life. We already have in view articles from some of the most prominent alumni. Of course it is impossible for us to reach all, and we ask the co-operation of our readers in soliciting both contributions and sub- scriptions for this number from their graduate friends. All contributions should be forwarded to the editor on or before March 5. Alumni wishing to subscribe for one or more copies of the March Radiator should order in advance, in order that the management may be prepared to meet the de- mand. A Radiator will be sent, postpaid, to any address in the United States for the regular price, ten cents. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR US Again we urge our readers to take advantage of and use more freely “The Letter Box.” We believe that the Radiator's plan of giving every one an opportunity to present opinions and ques- tions for public discussion is a valuable one. Three years ago this month, the then enterprising editor of the Radiator, innovating the depart- ment now known as “The Letter Box,” wrote:— “To the undergraduates, teachers, alumni, and all interested in our schools, we would say that the Radiator wishes to be of the greatest pos- sible use in its particular sphere of action.” To impress upon our readers the exact thought contained in these words of our predecessor has been from the start one of the greatest desires of this year’s staff : and at present we are striving harder than ever to make our publication “of the greatest possible use in its particular sphere of action.” As a means to this end, we renew our invitation to all to submit communications (not necessarily of great length) on any subject of school or local interest. If you don’t agree with the writer of some communication that you may read in “The Letter Box.” don't do a lot of idle talking, but sit down and write a reply, in order that others may have a chance to see your side of the question. Change in IRafciator Staff We regret to announce that, as a result of his long illness, we arc deprived of the services of our capable assistant business manager. Walter B. Wiley, ’13. Although Wiley is on the road to re- covery, he has wisely decided to relinquish his official Radiator duties. The position of assistant business manager is to be filled by Douglas Fleming, T3, who was elected by the staff. Fleming has already been of much assistance. •? Miss Margaret G.

Somerville MiGM s:hool radiator i 16 JSanquet to jfootball Squab Great as was the ability of the members of the S. 11. S. football squad to play their favorite game, their ability to partake of a banquet and to enjoy themselves was even greater. Such was the verdict reached after the squad sat down, on the evening of December 20, as guests of Senator .Charles V. Blanchard at the Boston City Club. The hour set was six o’clock, and there sat down Senator Blanchard, Coach Stephen H. Mahoney. Edwin P. Fitzgerald, treasurer of the Athletic Association, Herbert E. Henderson. Manager Whittaker. Assistant Manager Cedcr- lund, and the members of the squad who were awarded the S.” Senator Blanchard, Coach Mahoney, Captain Garland, Captain-elect Doane. and Messrs. Fitzgerald. Henderson, and Whit- taker sat at the head of the table. The players enjoyed themselves by recalling amusing incidents and joking one another. Senator Blanchard made a brief address of wel- come to the players, and told of the public inter- est in their successful season. He declared it was fitting that they should receive recognition. He urged all to enjoy themselves and lay aside for- mality. He then turned the affair over to Coach Mahoney. The senator was given a hearty cheer. Coach Mahoney told the players he was proud of them. He declared that, for such inexperi- enced players at the beginning, their showing had been remarkable, and credited their success to their ability to play together. Mr. Fitzgerald complimented the team and its coach, and declared that the schedule of the Som- erville team was harder than those of its oppo- nents. He explained the plan of the city and the Athletic Association in conducting the new ath- letic field, and wished the graduates greater suc- cess when they leave Somerville High School. Captain Garland made a neat speech, in which lie thanked the host for remembering the players, lie also thanked the players who had worked toward making the season a success, and Captain- elect Doane followed, predicting a championship team for 1912. “Dinger” was given a warm re- ception. A feature was the short address of “Bill’ Parks, who told of the honor it had been to represent the Red and Blue, and how hard it was to think that he and some of his fellows had played their last game of football for the school. All the players were called upon, and each had something novel upon the season, the players, and the banquet. As each speaker concluded, he was given a hearty cheer. Solos were sung by Parks, Lamoivt, and Dardis, and the entire gathering assisted. The three sang a number of popular songs. The gathering was broken up with the chorus of “Somervilla.” Satis Causae Club Ibolbs parts The annual party of the Satis Causae Club was held at the home of its secretary, Geraldine Gray, on Wednesday evening, December 27.

New York), llchron Semester (Hebron. Me.). Grotonian (Groton. Mass.), the Review (Lowell, Mass.), the Bostonia. the Register (Boston Latin), the Punchard Ensign (Andover, Mass.). Blue and White (Revere. Mass.), the Mirror (Waltham, Mass.), and the Pinkerton Critic (Derry, N. IT.). There is one criticism we would like to make that applies t � a great many of our exchanges, namely, placing part of the advertisements at the beginning of the paper. It really spoils the ap- pearance of the paper, and should be avoided un- less there is some benefit gained by doing so. Another general criticism is the difficulty on the part of the exchange editor to locate the schools whose exchanges we receive. Some exchanges have no location clearly stated, and they can only be detected by a careful study of the advertise- ments. It would be a great help if the name of the town or city could be placed on the first leaf, if not on the cover. Among our Christmas exchanges, the Brock- tonia, perhaps, ranks highest in consideration of all its departments. It has a wealth of good lit- erature. witty class notes, large exchange, alumni, and athletic columns, well-selected material, and excellent arrangement. We welcome the first issue that we have re- ceived this year of the Now and Then (St. Paul, Minn.). We trust we shall see you often. Your paper. Dynamo (Newton, Mass.), is ex- cellent. May your other issues be as good as your first attempt. We wish the best of success for your school paper. We like the High School Recorder (Winches- ter. Mass.), especially its interesting story, “The Phantom Girl ’ The Dean Megaphone, as usual, is rich in school spirit and interesting material. The Wizard (Ossining, N. Y.): Your paper would be more attractive if you placed the adver- tisements at the back and introduced a table of contents. Your paper otherwise is good. The Triangle (Emma Willard School, Troy, N. Y.) has a cleverly-written editorial, and is a very well arranged and commendable paper. The cover is most simple and attractive. The Quarterly Taller (Leete School, New York) has a most original exchange column, ex- cellent stories, and is very interesting throughout its departments. The Nautilus (Watcrville, Me.) is an excellent school paper. Every department shows the com- mendable result of careful w-ork and class spirit. Hopkins Arms, we are glad to note your fine athletic column. Your paper has good cuts, but where are your school notes? The Red and Black (Claremont, N. H.) is an attractive paper, with good cuts and arrangement, but it could be improved by transferring its adver- tisements. We welcome the Increscent (Beloit. Wis.) as a new exchange. Its contents are interesting, and it has much good material. The material of the Christmas number of the Coburn Clarion is good. The arrangement could be improved by placing the editorial first and the advertisements last. Your paper. Bangor Oracle, is good, but you could profit by the advertisement suggestion.

At once Captain Whittaker and Manager Bourne set out hunting for a suitable person to guide the destinies of the High School seven, and at length settled the question most satisfactorily by engaging Mr. Tift to fill the place. Mr. l ift, usually known as “Ray,” is too well known to require a biography in these lines. It is enough to know that he coached the nine last year with great success, and understands the Canadian game just as well as baseball. Ray Tift took up bis new duties on New Year’s Day, and witnessed the Melrose game with an in- terested expression. The next afternoon real work started, and in two days the seven showed great improvement. Since then affairs have been advancing rapidly—team work is much better, the forwards keep well together, and the defence has been greatly strengthened. There is no question but that Tift is the right man for the place, and the executive committee will do well to retain him during February until the season closes. iDelrosc U)t0b, 3 ; Somerville Wflb, 0 In an exciting hockey game at the Boston Arena on New Year’s Day, Melrose High se- cured a victory over Somerville, winning by the score of .'5 to 0. Neither seven was up to stand- ard. and good team work was completely lacking. The fact that it was the first game of the season for Somerville and the second for Melrose ex- plained this showing. Melrose was clearly the superior team; their defence was excellent, and the work of the forward line was good. The Som- erville seven showed lack of practice, the forwards being unable to keep together. Whittaker played a great game, and several times came close to shooting the puck into the Melrose goal; but he was completely unsupported, and this alone pre- vented a close finish. The game was marked by constant tripping, but Sterling was the only man to be penalized, he drawing two minutes on the side. Melrose scored two of her goals in the first half and one in the latter period. The first tally was made by Coch- rane after receiving a pass from Gately. The second goal was scored after a scrimmage in front of the Somerville net, the puck finally being pushed between the posts. Wolley tallied the third point, after intercepting a pass and carrying the puck past the Somerville defence; George came out to block him, and Wolley caged the puck by a neat shot. For Melrose, the work of Wanamakcr, Coch- rane. and Wolley was noticeable, while Whittaker and Cosgrove starred for the Somerville team. The line-up:— MELROSE. SOMERVILLE.

C. t . 5., I The Somerville High hockey team celebrated their first trip by defeating Boston College High School at Jamaica Pond on January 8 by the score of 6 to 1. The conditions were not very good; the game was played in a small rink, and the ice surface was soon cut up into snow, making it hard to carry the puck. The goal posts, also, were only four feet apart, instead of six feet. If the distance had been regulation width, the score would have been about twenty, for the Somerville forwards kept shooting incessantly at the Boston team’s goal. ' The Boston school’s goal tend, Hunt, was the star of the game. Shot after shot was stopped by his quick movements, and his work was all that kept the score low. The rest of his team were weak, appearing little like fast players. For Somerville, Robinson starred. During the first half he scored three times, each shot striking the extreme corner of the goal from a difficult angle. In the last period he scored again, and throughout the game showed great form. Whit- taker and Masked also played well. During the first period Robinson’s shots were- the only scores made. The Boston forwards sent only two shots toward George, which lie easily handled. In the last half the Red and Blue tal- lied three more times, and the substitutes were then given a chance, five men being sent in. It was after the change that O’Brien, of Boston Col- lege High, succeeded in shooting a goal, the only tally for the local team. The summary:— SOMERVILLE HIGH. B. C. H. S.

Hurley George (Richards), g..................g., Hunt ----------- Somerville’s “S” flfoen Following the example set by a large number of college publications and newspapers, the Ra- diato� publishes this month a complete list of the men now in the school who have earned the right to wear the much-desired Somerville “S.” This list was tabulated only after considerable difficulty, and has been carefully revised to pre- vent any possibility of mistakes. However, an omission or an error may have slipped in, and if such is brought to notice, the sporting editor will sec that the correction is made at once. What will probably be a surprise to ad followers of athletics and to the players themselves is that there are only thirty-three men in the school who have the right to wear an “S.” When one knows that twenty-eight football “S’s” were awarded this fad, it seems remarkable that there arc only six players besides these who may wear a letter. However, investigation brings out the fact that among these thirty-three men are distributed sixty letters, almost two “S s” to a man. It would seem that in as large a school as Somerville High more than thirty-three boys should qualify for letters. Maybe the track team will remedy matters. The date beside the player’s name denotes the year in which his letter was won:— WEARERS OF THE FOOTBALL S.” Class of 1912: Parks, 1909, 1910, 1911: Z.

GOODELL 92 Id'lfd Jy( V 11 Sportino Cbat The football banquet was a great success. Ice was a long time coming—the “gym” was all right, but the hockey team wanted to skate. Have you been physically examined yet? You can’t go out for athletics this year until I)r. Pote gives you a certificate of sound health. The hockey schedule has been considerably changed from the one printed last month. hi order to secure the Arena, it is necessary to sell fifty tickets to each game. This is a hard thing to accomplish, so Manager Bourne has changed several games from that ice surface to outside rinks. A large number of Somerville supporters wit- nessed the Melrose game at the Arena on Janu- ary 1. It was too bad that they didn’t cheer more, as they got off one good “S. IT. S.” and a “Team” which nearly shook the building. That kind of support helps the team a lot. So every- body be there at the next game! Only twenty- five cents a ticket, and you can skate for two hours after the hockey teams have annihilated the ice. The Somerville High hockey team played well in the Melrose game, and has been improving steadily. Coach Ray Tift has been a great help to the team in every way: he knows the game, and he knows the individual players. The hockey team is practically picked, and at present is made up as follows: Right wing, Rob- inson ; centre. Masked. Crispin : rover. Captain Whittaker; left wing, Holmes; cover point. Gar- land: point. Cosgrove; goal. George. Other candidates are Mclntire, Holden, Baxter, Pitman, Givan, Hunnewell, Baker. West, and Richards. Captain Whittaker is sure that the school is represented bv a fast seven this winter, and we extend our best wishes for a championship team. Arrow Kotdi COLLAR I5c.-3 for 2 V. Cl nett. IViilxxiv Co..

Pearson, ’12 WO long, narrow, pasteboard boxes, each heaped with a mass of fragrant, delicate pink bloom: two small, white envelopes precisely alike; a ball of gold cord, and several sheets of white tissue paper. This collection gave a rather festive appearance to the room in which it reposed. The ordinary assortment of pipes, banners, pictures, and other decorations which adorn a college boy’s room sank into insignificance beside this unwonted dis- play of beauty. The young man stretched on the couch, which was heaped high with fat pillows, bearing evi- dences of feminine hands, puffed slowly at his meerschaum and gazed pensively at the rings of blue smoke floating skyward. To his half-closed eyes they seemed to change into rings bearing a single, glistening stone and then again.into a plain gold band. Suddenly he sat bolt upright, re- moved the pipe from his mouth, emptied the ashes into the receptacle near at hand, placed the pipe in a rack over the couch, and uttered a hol- low groan followed by a singularly expressive ex- pletive. ‘‘If ever I attempt to propose to a girl again,” he muttered, as he slowly rose and made his way to his desk. I'll be many hundred years older and wiser than I am now. It's the hardest job I ever tackled—harder than ‘Old Bones’ ’ physiology.” With another heart-rending groan, he seated himself in his desk chair, ran his hands through his crisp, black curls, and grasped a pen with the clutch of a vise. Now or never! he muttered between clenched teeth, and his pen commenced racing across the paper at a rate which left a line of ink spots in its trail. Philip Kingston was a Senior at L---University, and loved to desperation (so he told the bronze idol which was his sole confidant) the prettiest, sweetest, dearest (and so forth) girl in the world, the daughter of one the professors. Though by nature a brilliant speaker. Kingston seemed like a bashful school boy when in the presence of Marjorie Dean. Despairing of ever gaining the courage to confess his feelings for her. Kingston had decided that, as a last resort, he would en- close in a box of La France roses, and send as a valentine, a note containing all he wished to say. But even this he found, as he said, ‘‘harder that ‘Old Bones’ ’ physiology. Finally, after frequent revisions, a sigh of relief announced that his composition satisfied him,— or would have to satisfy him. He made a careful copy of what he had written, placed it in one of the envelopes, and tossed it aside. Then once more he took his pen, scrawled rapidly on a card: “Lucile from Phil. and placed it in the second envelope. As was his custom, he was sending his cousin Lucile a box of roses for a valentine. Carefully then he placed his note among the pink blossoms; carefully he lay over them the folds of tissue paper, and put the cover in its place. Deliberately the cord was knotted, and Marjorie’s flowers were ready. Then crossing to the window. Kingston sent it up with a l ang, his head protruding far out. A quick survey showed him a small boy strolling lazily up the path toward the dormitory, and a sharp whistle and elo- quent gesture brought him within speaking dis- tance. Working, sonny?” from Kingston. Xaw!” came the answer. Want to earn a quarter?” Yep.” All right. Wait a minute.” Kingston picked up the box and walked quickly down the stairs, carefully shielding his precious burden from any contact which would disarrange the contents. Once outside, he gave it into the grimy hands of the urchin, with the injunction to take it right to Professor Dean’s and hold it straight.” A coin changed hands, and the messenger walked off importantly in the direction of his destination. Don’t stop a minute! shouted Kingston at the retreating figure. Then up to his own room he went again to make ready the other box which he was to send his cousin. Seating himself on the edge of the couch, Kingston speculated a moment on the probable outcome of his daring. Gee!” he told himself gloomily. “I’m a hot one to ask her to marry me! Gosh! what a fool I am!” He shook his head sadly and rose to complete his task. He took the envelope which remained on his desk and pulled out the card to see that the inscription was cor- rect. Suddenly his face paled. He sank weakly into a chair; then looked once more at the card he SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 held in his shaking hand. Did lie see. double? He passed his hand over his eyes and looked again. It was true. The card which he held in his hand was the one on which he had written his message to Marjorie! The card and flowers which should have been sent to his cousin were even now nearing Professor Dean's home! The procession of grim ideas which passed 'through Kingston’s head was anything but comforting. What would Marjorie think when she saw that card? He could imagine a few things. Did she know he had a cousin? Proba- bly not. Would he stand any show at all after such a mistake? He didn’t know. But. worst of all. what could lie do? Suddenly, with a sort of grim desperation, he sprang to his feet. If that little beggar will only walk slowly,” he thought rapidly, “perhaps I can do it. With feverish haste lie commenced doing up the other box of flowers, placing Marjorie’s note among the blossoms, then seized his coat and cap and dashed down the stairs. The length of his strides would have done credit to a kangaroo, and the breaker of the mile record could not have been indifferent to his speed. Panting, red of face, coat flying open. Kingston swung around the corner just in time to sec his messenger boy take at a bound the five steps which led down from the veranda of Professor Dean’s house. “Hello, mister,” the boy grinned. I got it here all right. “Yes. I’ll bet you did. growled Kingston, and stopped a second to contemplate the situation. Should he walk boldly to the door and demand his gift, or should he attempt to regain it by more diplomatic means? Knowing Marjorie as he did. Kingston instantly decided in favor of the latter plan, and decorously approached the house. “No, Miss Marjorie is not at home.” answered the trim maid to his query. Dolefully Kingston descended the steps. “Hang it all. what do I care? lie argued with himself. Probably couldn’t do anything any- way, except explain, and I’ll be jiggered if I fell her what I wrote.” Back around the corner he walked straight into Marjorie Dean, and. with a confused apology, be- gan to pick up her scattered parcels. Somehow lie found himself retracing his way up the steps and into Miss Marjorie’s den. Not until inside the room did he notice the pile of envelopes and packages on the table and realize that he must face the issue now. What would he say when she opened his box? By Jove,” he told himself firmly, as Marjorie threw off her furs and coat, “if I can prevent it, she shan’t open it. I’ll see if somehow I can’t get her out of the room long enough for me to ex- change the two boxes.” This brilliant plan might have worked very well, but------ Goodness! what a lot of valentines!” were Marjorie's next words. I must open them right now. You may help if you wish,” and she reached out her hand for the largest valentine, which, as Kingston’s unlucky gods would have it, was the fatal box of flowers. Oh!” he exclaimed, “don't open those now, Marjorie. Let’s talk. Isn't it a beautiful day— so crisp and snappy? Do you think so?” asked Marjorie, looking at him in an odd way. It seemed very warm to me—unusually so for February, and her fingers began to fumble with the string. Yes. yes! so it is, agreed Kingston, hastily, “that’s what I meant. But I say, Marjorie, don’t bother with those now. You might talk to me. You don’t see me very often.” Why, laughed the girl merrily, “I’ve seen you five times since Sunday, and anyway, 1 can talk as I look at these.” “Oh, but it’s very tiring, don’t you think?” asked Kingston, nervously, for the string would soon yield to her persistent efforts. “Why, no, not particularly so,” answered Mar- jorie. inwardly amused. Then-------- “Where are my scissors? I'll have to cut that string, and she searched hurriedly over the table. Oh, don't use scissors! Please don’t, Mar- jorie! You—you might cut yourself,” stam- mered Kingston, and then, seeing his frantic at- tempts were useless, he placed on the floor the flowers which he had been holding, and, rising, walked to the table. I won’t let you look at that now. he declared, masterfully. “You won’t pay any attention to me- at all if I do, and I cut physiology just to come over to talk with you, and he forcibly took the box from her, and, placing it with the second one, seated himself again. With heightened color and a frigid glance at Kingston. Marjorie picked up a second parcel and commenced working at the string. I’d much rather you’d stayed to your old lecture than have come over here and attempted to dictate to me,” she burst forth finally. Inwardly trembling, but outwardly calm. Kings- ton nodded coolly. I don’t doubt it in the least.

Dame W inters, mistress of the Hoar's Head I avern, standing in the door, looked out across the dreary salt marshes to the sea beyond, and then up again at the tossing sign. As she brushed back the iron gray locks that the wind blew across her face, a chaise, drawn by two black horses, within which sat a portly gentleman, muffled in furs, drove rap- idly past. She watched it climb the hill above the tavern, and roll between the gray stone pillars, which marked the entrance to the Great House,” as it was commonly called by the country people. Again? exclaimed a voice behind her. Dame Winters turned. Oh. Dick. she said, laying her hand affectionately on the tall lad’s shoulder, “how you startled me! Did he. mother?” persisted the boy, looking down at her. You know your uncle never notices us. nor can we expect that the squire should speak to peas- ants. she concluded bitterly. lie’s your own brother! cried the boy hotly. “I'll make him speak if I ----.’’ Dick! Dick! cried his mother. '‘Go down and take the gentleman's horses, and let me hear no more.” The lad obeyed silently, feeling all the while that the horsemen had heard his outbreak and were laughing at him. The two travelers strode into the parlor of the Hoar’s Head. One, tall and thin, with grizzled hair, was warming his hands before the blaze, while his companion strode moodily up and down, his Toledo blade clanking in its scabbard. A room, good dame. cried the elder, as the mistress entered, and the best the house can af- ford. We have slept too often on the bare ground not to take the best when it is to be had, eh. Con- rad? This way, then, gentlemen.” said Dame Win- ters and. taking a lighted candle in either hand, she led the way upstairs. Hardly had Dick thrown himself on his bed that night when he heard the sound of voices in the room below, lie recognized them as those of the ■flmno, '14 two strange gentlemen, and wondered what they could be saying. Suddenly he heard his mother's name mentioned, and. sitting up in bed, he did not miss a word of the conversation which followed. It does not seem possible, the elder of the two was saying, that that withered woman was ever winsome Marjorie Kent, who lived up there on the hill before I went out with you in 45. Then all the gallants of the countryside were at her feet, but she flouted them all and married Winters, the tavern-keeper.” “She was still a handsome woman ten years ago, rejoined Conrad, when we came back to the old squire that stormy night with news of his son’s death.” “Yes. and that puts me in mind of the happen- ings of that night. Can you remember?” I can see it now as distinctly as if it were but yesterday. Ten years in foreign service had neither broken my spirit nor whitened your hair, but twenty years are a different matter.” Yes, twenty long years, and now that the cause is lost---’’ Give me no more of your Jacobite doctrines, Stuart! Let us go back to the old squire. He sat there in the library before that old black wal- nut desk, the candle light falling on his silver hair. 'You come just in time, gentlemen.' he said, in his deep voice, 'to witness my will.’ And when we had told our news he thought awhile, and then said: Well, Marjorie shall have all. She has disr obeyed me. but she shall have everything.’ ” Do you remember how we signed the docu- ment that the old lawyer, Jonathan West, drew up, and then and there, leaving all the old man’s earthly possessions to his 'dearly beloved daugh- ter. Marjorie’? ” And then the squire opened a drawer in the desk, and pressing a little brass knob in one cor- ner uncovered a secret drawer.” How astonished you were. Conrad! I thought you would devour the contents with your eyes. “No. no, I was not so bad as the lawyer. His hair fairly stood on end.” And. Conrad, just as he had finished, the door opened and in came his son! 1 can never forget the old squire’s face. 'Ethan!’ he said, and that was all. Then, after a while. 'I made a will in favor of your sister. It is in my desk.’ ’’ How black Ethan’s face grew! I believe the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «35 old squire feared his son. for he said hurriedly: 'I shall sec about changing it to-morrow, Ethan. Sir Roderick said you were dead.’ ’Such was the re- port.’ you replied, drawing yourself up stiffly. Well,’ said the old man, ‘to-morrow we shall sec!’ Then we went away, and two years later both the squire and West died on the same night.” “It was strange: and now we return and find Ethan lord of the manor, and Marjorie mistress of the inn! “I wonder if the will was ever destroyed, or whether it still lies in the old desk. “Well, ‘least said, soonest mended.’ you know, and now good night.” “Good night. Stuart. Dick sank back on the bed. All kinds of wild thoughts floated through his mind. If he could but find that will, his mother need work no longer. and-----. Before he fell asleep he had resolved to go to his uncle’s house, open the secret drawer, and find the will. His opportunity came sooner than he had ex- pected. About three weeks later, when he had vainly tried to make some plan by which lie could gain his ends, chance did for him what lie could not accomplish alone. Thomas, the gardener, stopped at the tavern, and taking Dick aside, said: “Fm goin’ to the fair to-morrow, and if you'll go up to the squire’s and take my place I’ll give you two shillings. Dick jumped at the chance, and the next morn- ing found him hard at work. He had finished the gardening, and was passing the back door when he saw one of the maids, whose home was in the ■village. Jane.” said Dick, how do you like it here? ()h, well enough,” she replied. It must be handsome inside the house. I’ve heard many speak of it.” Yes, it is, and especially the library that the squire has had done over new. Dick’s heart sank. What became of the furni- ture? “Oh. it’s all up in the attic. Why do you want to know, anyway?” “Well, I did want to see that old desk that be- longed to my grandfather, but I suppose 1 can’t now. Mother has said so much about it! The squire is out now, and perhaps you can slip up to the attic and look at it if you want to.” “Oh, you might lose your place for letting me. t couldn't. “Come on. Squire Kent won’t be back for an hour yet. Dick followed her into the house and up to the dim old attic. How long has it been since the library was fixed over? lie asked. Oh. about six months. There’s the desk you want to see over in that corner. Dick, trying to conceal his emotion, walked slowly over to the old desk. It was. indeed, a handsome piece of furniture. Glancing over his shoulder, lie saw that Jane had gone, arid he was free to do as he pleased. Opening the top drawer, he passed his fingers back and forth along the in- side. Presently a narrow drawer shot out. With a beating heart Dick lifted the old newspaper which concealed the contents. The drawer was emptv! Almost a year later Dick was no nearer his wish than on that November evening when he had been so bitterly disappointed. Although he could not have told why, he clung to the belief that the will existed somewhere. Put chance was no longer serving him : and disheartened and impatient at his ill success, he now found his chief pleasure in a warm friendship he had formed with a young Frenchman who had been for some time a guest at the inn. Bon jour, mon clier Dick, il fait beau, n'est ce pas? W hat is the matter with you? You don’t seem cheerful! cried Monsieur dc C’hcvreusc, coming into the stable for his mare. It’s nothing, replied Dick, leading out the graceful animal. “Allons! It is something! insisted the French- man. Tell me, perhaps I wills may be able to help. Dick poured out the whole story while his friend listened, tapping his high boots with his riding whip. Ma foi! I'll think it over while I'm rid- ing. he said, swinging himself into the saddle. That same afternoon M. dc Chcvrcuse sent for him, and after shutting the door, said: “Eh bicn! Dick. I have news for you. I’ve seen your uncle —in fact I went up there myself upon the pretence of buying that old desk. When he had shown it to me and I had finally concluded it was not ex- actly to my taste, he seemed disappointed, and said: ‘I had another four months ago, but one of your countrymen got ahead of vou.’ ‘Could you tell me his name?’ I asked. ‘Perhaps he would sell it to me.' ‘I doubt it.’ said your uncle, 'lie seemed too pleased with his bargain, but you can try, I suppose. His name is Du Yallon. and lie lives in Paris.’ Do you mean. cried Dick, that there is an- other desk? That the will is in it? That you can find it? 136 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Not so fast, my young friend! said the Frenchman, shrugging his shoulders. “I merely say that there is another desk. The will may or may not be in it. Your uncle or grandfather may have destroyed it. as when the estate was settled there was certainly no will found. I say frankly, you have one chance in a thousand. Xow. an- other thing. 1 know this Du Yallon, and he would sooner give you his head than to allow you even to look for the will in any piece of his prop- erty. If you do look, it must be by some trick. I would go across the channel and get it for you myself, but, for reasons 1 need not go into, that is impossible. Voila tout. You don't speak French?’’ 'Wot a word! ’‘Don't look so hopeless. You may have heard it said, ’He wins who waits.’ Apply it to yourself. Begin French with me. I have wanted you to do it for a long time. When you can speak the lan- guage, nous verrons ce cjue nous verrons!” ’’Could I do it?” Certainement, mon enfant. We will begin to- morrow. On the morning of October 21, 1 08. a young man descended from his horse at the Chat Gris, ----- a small inn just outside of Paris. In his pocket were minute directions for reaching M. du Yal- lon’s residence, but it was left to Dick’s ingenuity to provide a way-by which he could gain admit- tance. After a hurried breakfast he walked toward tlie city, leaving his horse at the hostelry,, to which lie intended to return. About lo o’clock he reached the house of M. du Vallon. and ran lightly up the steps. Almost cer- tain of the success of his plan, he let fall the knocker, and the door opened almost immediately. ’I am the workman sent to polish Monsieur's old black walnut desk, said Dick in his best French. ’’This way,” replied the maid, leading him into a small room adjoining the hall. This is the desk.” She went away, and Dick, hastily pulling out one- drawer after another, found in one a small spring. Saying to himself, 1 shall probably find nothing,” lie pressed the spring. A long, narrow drawer rolled silently out. Within lay an old parchment. These words caught his eye: “December 24, A. D. 1?.V . I, John Kent, do bequeath and give all my worldly possessions to mv dearly beloved daugh- ter. Marjorie.” Dick thrust the long-lost will into his pocket, opened the door, and went out into the streets of Paris. He had waited and won. ZEbat (Buy, IFmng By jfranfe G. H avts, ’13 HE great arena is crowded to its ca- pacity. Five thousand enthusiasts fill every seat and pack the aisles and passages. On the left the Crimson adherents, a couple thousand strong, vie with the supporters of the Blue, opposite, in the customary beforc-the-game cheers and songs, minus which the usual intercollegiate match would be about as exciting as is “a little game to pass the time” without the just to make it interesting” side. Immediately, however, when the slightly corpu- lent and distinctly red-faced Official Announcer is seen making his very uncertain, yet dignified jour- ney across the ice to the centre of the rink, a hush sweeps across the building,—such a hush as is said to have fallen upon the Senate chamber when Daniel Webster rose to his feet to make his cele- brated reply to fiery Senator What's-his-name from South Carolina; or, to illustrate with a simile which you will recognize,—-'just such a dead stillness as comes when the deacon—or elder, whichever it may be—announces in that smothered tone of voice, Let—us—pray.” “La-a-adies—and—gentlemen.” Thus begins the Official Announcer, chest thrown out. in a voice which might justly cause Caruso, or Buck O’Brien, or any other of those big opera stars, to turn green with jealousy. I-a-a-adies—and—gentlemen—in the first—half —of this evening’s—game—for the intercollegiate —hockey—championship—I Ia-a-arvard—will de- fend ---” But just at this point, strange to relate (“mira- bile dictu.” as our friend P. Vergilius puts it), the thunderous tones of the ()fficial Announcer arc- drowned out by a tremendous roar which comes spontaneously from the throats of the two thou- sand rooters in the left-hand sections, simulta- neously with the arrival upon the ice of the Crim- son seven and subs. if®n 111 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 137 Next—Wednesday—evening’—will he—a bur- lesque—hockey—match—between--------” Again a roar, this time from the right-hand sections, in- terrupts his stentorian oratory, and heralds the arrival of the Blue squad. The slightly corpulent, more than ever red-faced, but still dignified ()ffi- cial Announcer decides that he has performed his duty and starts to get off the rink, while the spec- tators. watching in expectancy, are ready to give him a laugh and a hand in case lie should be un- fortunate enough to sit down suddenly on the treacherous ice. Being experienced, however, in the art of getting safely on and off of slippery ice, he selfishly disappoints them, and disappears up one of the alley-ways mopping his brow. Yes, lie •earns his pay. The opposing centre men impatiently await the face-off. The referee blows his whistle, lets fall the puck, glides hurriedly out of the way ; the game is on. The Crimson left wing secures the puck, caroms it against the boards, and then, blocked by the op- posing right wing, passes to rover. The Blue coverpoint. skating hard, crashes into the rover, leaving him dazed and breathless, and starts down the rink with the puck in his possession. A big man is the coverpoint, with powerful frame, ap- parently capable of withstanding the fiercest body- checking. He skates without finish but effec- tively, scorning to indulge in the butterfly tactics of the lighter men in the forward line, but steering a straight course for the Crimson goal and leaving in his wake a trail of fallen athletes sprawling in assorted postures on the ice. When past the cen- tre of the rink, he passes to Stuart, the Blue cen- tre. who, after skilfully evading the Crimson cover, is forced to the extreme left of the rink by the point, and from that difficult position essays a shot at goal. A breathless moment: then, like a sema- phore, up goes the goal umpire's arm, the whistle shrills, and a roar of exultation arises from the Blue rooters. A score in the first minute of play! From then till the close of the half the play was fast, brilliant, vacillating, keeping both Crimson and Blue followers continually on edge. The Crimson forward line was undeniably strong. Time and again it brought the puck, by a series of well-executed rushes and with a wonderful display of team work, well into Blue territory, only to be checked and relieved of the puck by the big Blue coverpoint. Once they got past and, enticing the goaltender away from the net. scored a rather cheap goal, tying the score. Whereupon, the hearts of the Crimson supporters, which had dropped some few degrees when they saw their pet aggregation being toyed with by the hulking, awkward, unfeeling brute who played the Blue coverpoint, were restored to normal. The conversation during the intermission was filled with expressions of curiosity concerning the identity of the big Blue coverpoint. You say his name is Irving?” queried the youth with the Crimson arm-band. Yuli,” was the response from the little chap in the fuzzy boy. He's taking the place of Car- ter. who sprained his ankle last week. They say this guy had never been heard of down at New Haven until the day after Carter got hurt, when lie came forward and offered to fill in. Not a fancy skater, but he fills in all right.” Right,” agreed the other. Did you see him dump Hunter? By the way. what class is he in? Hanged if 1 know. Junior. I think. Oh, I guess lie’s in line for the captaincy next year, all right. 1 don’t know about that. There’s Rowe at point. He's a Junior. Aw. come on!” scoffed the little chap in the “fuzzy boy. hat’d Rowe be without a good man in front of him ?” The two teams were on the ice again, and the discussion lagged. A few minutes’ practice: then the subs scatter to the alleys, and the regulars take their positions. The whistle sounds, there is the clash of skates, and the whack of sticks, and the second half has begun. Two substitutions for Harvard.” announced the little chap sporting the fuzzy boy.” I guess some of ’em got more than they wanted of that husky boy. Irving. Wow! Look at him go now! Who said he couldn’t skate?” More than one of the excited onlookers thrilled at the exhibition being given by the Blue cover- point. He had completely changed his style of play, for instead of the straight, havoc-making pilgrimages into Crimson territory which he had attempted with such good results in the first period, he was now demonstrating what a wonder- ful skater he was when he wanted to lie by carry- ing the puck down the ice in a long, sweeping, snake-like dash. Easily dodging the coverpoint and point, he cleverly coaxed the nervous goal- tender out of the net. and then counted. A mo- ment later he repeated, this time receiving the puck from behind his own goal, taking it in a sweeping, bewildering curve the length of the rink. I3 S SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR and then slamming it into the net with an apparent ease which made the Crimson goal look decidedly foolish. There was no such thing as stopping him. Time after time lie went down the ice, pairing with Stuart, who alone of all the forwards could match him in speed, and shot after shot was slammed at the Crimson goalkeeper, who kept his nerve and made a fairly creditable showing. At any rate, the score was only eleven to one when time was called. The 111ue captain accosted the hot and sweating coverpoint immediately after the close of the game, and led him away from the clustering knot of eager sycophants. From the rink a new name was being vociferously cheered by the exuberant Blue rooters, and the captain smiled as he heard '.t. “Hear that?” he asked. “There'll be a new hero on the campus to-morrow. He hesitated. Then -------- “Look here. he said. I don’t want to seem inquisitive, but it seems to me I’ve a right to know why you haven't come out for the team before. You’ve been in college three years, and nobody knew a thing about you until Carter got hurt and you presented yourself to fill the gap. How about it? 'Ilie other smiled, half quizzically it seemed. “Perhaps you won’t understand, he said, “but I think you will, how hard it has been for'me to stay at college three years and just plug along without coming out for the team. I love the game! He paused. “But I came to college with a purpose, and that purpose will not allow me to take the time to play hockey. Do you see? No,. I'm afraid you don't. Well, this is just how it stands. I come from a small place down in Mani- toba (where I learned my hockey, you sec). Well, all my college expenses arc being taken care of by a little church in that town, and—well, it’s up to me to sec that they get their money's worth, that’s all. They expect great things of me in the medi- cal world. Yes, that’s what I’m preparing for. I shall shift over to the medical school next Septem- ber. Well. I hope you see that I am under obliga- tions, and have very little time for sports? Again he smiled, half questioningly. The captain looked him in the eye. “I think I do, he said heartily, and held out his hand. The little chap in the “fuzzy boy paused to light a cigarette as he came out of the arena, and smiled pityingly on the youth with the Crimson arm-band. Aw-haw-haw! You make me laugh,” he said. “Rowe—Rowe captain—with a whirlwind like that on the team. Why. that guy, Irving, is a fiend, a regular fiend. What? It be of tbe transgressor JQy Xecnarfc IfL IRice, T2 LIE cold Arctic winter day was draw- ing to a close. The shadows drifted heavily down upon the mountain tops, which were gradually being enveloped in a dark blanket, until now the tops were entirely covered. With the closing in of the shadows the sharp, steady, biting cold seemed also to close in, and to become even more sharp and biting. The dogs crowded together in the harness, shivering, and the sled was held back. With sharp yelps they sprang into the harness again as the “Mush! Mush!” of the driver rang out. It was no small load they were pulling, for, besides pots, pans, stove, blankets, and other accoutre- ments, a man large of build, swarthy, and with deep-set ugly eyes, so they looked now, at least, in their glazed condition, lay stretched out upon the boxes. Occasionally he moved slightly and muttered. At these times the driver, running be- side the sled, would force brandy between the set lips. The driver gazed anxiously toward the distant mountains, which were now nearly hidden by the darkness. Then, throwing back his huge shoulders, he grasped the centre rope and began to pull with the dogs, talking to them continually in a guttural sing-song which they seemingly un- derstood, for, throwing their bodies forward into the harness, they increased their speed until the sled was fairly flying over the crust. Suddenly the dogs began to sniff, pointing their long noses into the air. The man looked anx- iously up the mountain side, and his gaze rested long on the spot in the distance where the Devil's Horns pass could be barely discerned. Slowly, but gradually becoming louder, came a low moaning from the distant mountain. It grew SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR � 39 continually in volume and at last the driver turned the dogs and drove them madly across the side of the mountain, toward an overhanging jut of the cliffs in the distance. The place of refuge did not seem far at the Speed the sled was making, but the moaning gained in volume, and suddenly the storm, in all its fury, burst upon them. The driver cast one last look upon the refuge of the rocks, and well that he did, for in an instant it was hidden from sight by the mighty, whirling mass of whiteness. The whip of the driver snapped incessantly. Speech would have been useless in the moaning and roaring of the storm, so the dogs no longer heard the voice of their master, but they felt his presence as he leaped along beside them. On- ward stumbled the dogs, their breath now com- ing in short gasps, now the sled would be brought nearly to a stop, and then, with a sudden mad burst of speed, they would again fly over the crust. Suddenly the refuge loomed up before them, and with wild yelps of joy the team swung be- neath it. Instantly the driver threw off the harness, and immediately every dog had buried himself in the snow. The wind changed for an instant, and in that instant the man, with miraculous swiftness, had snatched the tent from the sled and erected it be- fore the wind resumed its course and swept down with baffled fury upon him. Then, lifting the senseless body from the sled, he placed it upon some boxes beneath the tent. In a short time the tent was fastened down se- curely for the night, the stove was blazing brightly, and the man, his marvelous feat of swiftness and dexterity performed, was now sitting beside the improvised bed of the other, rubbing him into consciousness. Presently the sick man opened his eyes, coughed, and. after swallowing the brandy proffered him by his com- panion, sank back again upon his bed without a word. _ The other, after placing some boards from the sled near the stove, lay down upon them, and was soon asleep. It was nearing midnight when the sick man, opening his eyes, saw his companion seated be- side the fire pouring from a full bag which he had in his hand, into another, a sort of a yellowish dust. When there was an equal amount in each bag the man by the fire tied up the two, and, placing them beneath the boards of bis bed, lay down once more and slept. A moment later the other raised himself noise- lessly. and, stepping across the body of the sleeper, bent over and listened to his. breathing; then, satisfied, he drew from beneath the boards the two bags. Startled, the sleeper awoke and raised him- self. There was a sharp gleam of steel, the snow about the stove was dyed a deep crimson, and the sleeper slept once more. The other drew back, frightened at what he had done; then, recovering himself, suddenly ut- tered a laugh of demoniacal fury and dashed out of the tent. •Mush! Mush!” The air was instantly filled with furry white bodies, legs stiffened beneath them and backs arched for their spring from their snowy tombs, and the dogs sprang into the harness. The man fastened the straps, and, hastily packing tent and stores upon the sled, rushed swiftly into the valley. The storm had ceased, but there was no clear- ing. Across the valley dashed the sled, the man beside it. his sickness seemingly vanished. The dogs had just swung into the harness pre- paratory to ascending a slight rise, when once more there came, gradually increasing in volume, the moaning from the Devil’s Horns. The man did not hear it at first, but suddenly it reached his ears. A thrill of terror shot through his frame, and his whip cracked repeatedly over the backs of the dogs. The moaning grew louder and louder, the air colder and colder, with a sharp, piercing coldness, Then suddenly the storm broke, 'flic wind grew fierce and strong, hurling its force with mighty fury in the face of the man. Mad in his desperation, the latter panted be- side the animals, lashing them continually. Fiercer and fiercer raged the storm. The dogs began to stumble and then to moan, as their mangled feet struck the snow. The driver's breath was coming in short gasps. He tried to gather fresh strength, and leaped forward beside the dogs. Then his steps began to grow slow. I le glanced up suddenly. The sled was leaving him behind. Insane with fear, he lunged forward to grasp it, missed, and fell. On howled the storm, the snow piling steadily over the mound until it was lost in the vast ex- panse of whiteness. 140 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR tCbe Stolen Jewels 36 } Garland Xuffein, '14 ELLO ! said M. Lemere, the well- known French detective, as he an- swered his telephone. “This is Marcot, chief of police,” came over the wire. “ J en thousand dollars’ worth of jewels were stolen from Mine. De Briard's home in Macon last night. Will you take up the case?” Allow no clues to be effaced. responded the detective. I will come out on the next train. At the station in Macon M. Marcot was waiting for him in a buggy. “Now first, a little about Mine. De Briard. said Lemere as they drove along. “Mine. De Briard came here last winter. began the chief, “and bought a fine cottage on the border of the town. She lived with her maid. Helene, as her only companion. When her husband died he had left her a large sum of money. Part of this, it is said, was invested in jewels, which she very foolishly kept at her home. This spring a young Mile. Jeanette came here to spend the summer. Madame became attracted to her. and since then Jeanette has lived with her. This same young lady has lately been seen in the company of a young man who has been staying at the hotel. Suspicion rests on the girl and her lover because they have been missing since the robbery. The carriage approached a small but beautiful house. Several police were guarding the drive- way and doors. One of these, recognizing the chief, stepped aside to let the buggy pass. Wait. commanded Lemere. seizing the reins. “Have you permitted a carriage to go up this driveway yet? “Not a vehicle has driven up here since the rob- bery as far as I know. answered Marcot with sur- prise in his voice. The detective alighted from the carriage and walked up the drive. It is evident,” he said, “that an automobile drove up here yesterday. Here are the wheel marks. Has niadame a car? No. monsieur. Arriving at the stone steps. Lemere noticed sev- eral dainty footprints, surely those of a woman, beside which were several of a man. These im- prints were traced as far as the wheel marks of the auto. “Is Madame here. Marcot? he asked, as they ascended the steps. “Yes.” Let us hear her story.” Mine. De Briard came into the hall to meet them. She was about forty-five years old. of me- dium height. She was greatly excited, and her red eyes showed that she had been weeping. Oh. my jewels, my jewels!” she cried as she took Lemere’s hand. “Be calm, madame.” answered he. “They may be recovered yet. She escorted them into the elaborately-furnished drawing-room and commenced to tell her story, it seemed that she had gone to visit a friend in the town at •� o’clock the evening before. As her coachman was away, she had walked. Jeanette and the maid, Helene, were the only persons in the house when she left. As far as she knew, Jeanette was the only one who had seen her hide her key to the safe, from which the jewels had been taken. When she returned at !) o’clock that evening Mile. Jeanette and her jewels had dis- appeared. and the maid was locked in the closet of her own room. The maid declared that Jean- ette and a man had overpowered her and put her there. It seems incredible that a seemingly good friend like Mademoiselle should turn out to be a thief. concluded Mme. l)e Briard. as she dried her inflamed eyes with her handkerchief. The maid’s story was just as Madame had told it. Lemere examined her room. There seemed to be no signs of a struggle as the maid had de- clared; everything was in perfect order. He went into the closet in which Helene had been locked. Taking out his electric pocket light, he examined the floor. In a crack near the wall he saw some- thing bright. He took it out. It was a key. After finding that it fitted the lock of the closet door, the detective put it in his pocket. He then entered Mme. De Briard's chamber. He stopped long enough for a glimpse, then left the house in company with Marcot. hy did you not examine Madame’s room more thoroughly? asked the latter. There was no need of it. responded the de- tective brusquely. Marcot left him at the end of the driveway. 11 is mind was full of questions he would liked tc have asked the detective, but the latter’s sharp an wer discouraged these. Why did he not mak efforts to trace the automobile? What made hin leave so soon, apparently retiring to the hotel? The evening newspaper came out with this start SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I4 ling heading. ‘'Robber of Mme. De Briard's safe known; will be arrested to-morrow morning.” This, indeed, seemed strange. Why was he not arrested immediately? The next morning at 3 o’clock Helene, Madame’s maid, was taken into custody by the police at the railroad station. The rest of our story will be the explanation of Lemere to Chief of Police Marcot. In the first place. he began. I knew that the robber was evidently about Madame’s chamber very often. The hiding place of the safe-key was well known. The time I remained in her room was long enough to reassure me in this fact, as nothing was disturbed, as it would have been had the culprit been unacquainted with the secret. You will say that Helene did not know, but how was Madame to know that anybody was watching her ‘over her shoulder'? Then, to understand the matter of the key. Why could not Helene have had a duplicate of this closet door key made, and after Jeanette had gone in the car with her lover, after the robbery was committed and the jewels Hll on tbc fourteenth of tfebruarv? [Continued from page 133.J lie answered pleasantly, “but. now that I am here, you might as well entertain me.” Marjorie smothered the quick retort on her lips, and reached for the next box, which from the shape also contained flowers. Kingston reached into his pocket and drew out his knife, opened it. and tossed it on the table. Here, cut the string with this; then we can sec the contents sooner. Marjorie looked at him in astonishment. Evi- dently you are more anxious to see this than the other. “Yes.” assented Kingston, cheerfully. I want to see 'em all now.” Marjorie pushed the half-opened package to one side and gazed for a full minute in undis- guized bewilderment at her caller. Then------- For mercy sake, Phil Kingston, what is the matter with you? You’re talking queerly and acting queerly. One minute you say it’s cold; then you call it warm. First, for no reason what- ever, you confiscate my gifts; then you are crazy to sec them all. Phil, have you been drinking?” And her voice sank to a solemn whisper. This was to her the one explanation of his actions. Kingston laughed up at her; then rose and took his coat. “You know better than to ask me that. But some day perhaps I’ll tell you a story, Marjorie,” lie said mysteriously, “and then hidden, lay one key carelessly on the table where it was found, lock herself in the closet with the other, hide it in the crack of the floor (that was her great mistake), then declare she had been locked in by a pair of robbers? If force had been used and a struggle had ensued, naturally one or two chairs or the table might have been overturned. An- other fact contradicted her story. If Jeanette and her sweetheart had been the guilty ones they would have taken good care to see that they left no footprints. Perhaps you will be surprised when I tell you that I published that article in the newspaper myself. Would it not be natural for the robber, if he were in town, upon seeing such an article, to make all haste to get away? That is why the maid. Helene, was arrested at the depot, where I had stationed some policemen. I have had her full confession, and also have returned the jewels to their rightful owner. “You will be pleased to know I have just re- ceived word that Jeanette was married the night of the robbery at Roahne. and is now on her wed- ding trip in her husband’s auto.” you’ll understand.” He reached down to pick up the rescued box, intending to leave the other, containing the correct card, on the floor where he had placed it. trusting that Marjorie would not notice that he was not taking with him the box he brought. Suddenly he stiffened with horror. He could not remember which box contained the note -for Marjorie! He dropped limply back into his chair, sick at the thought. Was all his scheming and planning to come to naught? Marjorie noticed the change in his face. Phil, are you ill?” she cried, anxiously. “Can't I get you something?” Yes,” Kingston groaned miserably, “I’m terri- bly ill. I'm subject to these spells. It's heart trouble.” “Heart trouble! Oh, Phil!” sobbed the girl, “don’t die, oh. please don’t die. Phil! Then somehow (in the commotion, he did not fully understand how it came about) Kingston found Marjorie kneeling by his side, his arm tightly about her. and he was promising that he would not die if she'd only agree to love him and take care of his future health. And then the whole miserable story came out, bit by bit. and his trials received ample sympathy. And then, hav- ing accomplished its mission, the spirit of St. Valentine flew out into the warm sunshine with- out stealing one backward glance! 142 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S To those who attended the last Somerville- Melrosc High hockey game, the presence of a great deal of good sportsmanship among the members of the opposing teams was very appar- ent. Though the game was close and hard- fought from beginning to end, the number of plainly accidental trippings and collisions served to produce only hand-shakes and exchanges of smiles. This proved as pleasing to the specta- tors as the game itself. It certainly is a com- mendable spirit, and reflects credit on both schools. Good cheering was also in evidence at this game, ag ag Another champion has taken up the cause of a West Somerville High School. Several strong points in its favor were made by Professor Harry G. Chase in his recent address to the West Somer- ville Board of Trade. However, there is much to be said on the other side.

Drawing in General Education To the readers of the Radiator:— Modern education has kept pace with modern thought and ideas; to-day training along' lines of language and number alone is found to be insuffi- cient. With these two ior a foundation, the su- perstructure is one-sided and incomplete; if the end sought is a harmonious and well-rounded education, the foundation must be broader and stronger. Modern education recognizes three grand di- visions: namely, the training of the body, the mind, and the soul. The harmonious develop- ment of these three is the sum total of education. Of these, mind training receives the most atten- tion in the common schools, the studies forming the basis of mind training being number, lan- guage. drawing, and music. Drawing here is taken in the widest sense as representing the elements of both form and color. It is the mental process by which ideas are represented both pictorially and in solid form. Of these four studies, drawing alone seems to be viewed by the masses with suspicion. Because it was not taught in their day, and they do not feel the need of it. they pronounce against it. By the same argument, the successful business man who has had no schooling in his early days considers all scholastic study a humbug. It may be said of any department of knowledge, that one does not understand its importance until he en- ters into its domain himself, or sees another put it to practical use in affairs of life. So those who have not learned drawing do not. in their own experience, know what they have lost. But if number, language, drawing, and music are the fundamental studies, then all others are but branches, and these four studies are the ele- ments of which they are composed. This is even so, for without a knowledge of these studies it would be difficult to acquire a knowledge of other branches. For example, the elements that enter into the study of geography are number, lan- guage, and drawing. In other words, in order to understand geography one must have a knowl- edge of mathematics, language, and form, because these are the elements on which it is based. In the same manner, language, number, and drawing are the foundational aids in acquiring such branches as physiology, physics, geology, etc. The trades are almost entirely based on these three studies. In proportion to the knowl- edge of. and ability to use. these elements, the branches become easy, and the time for their mas- tery is shortened. Drawing is the basis of all trades. The stone- cutter cuts a capital out of marble with chisels; the draughtsman draws it on paper with pencil; the manual process differs, but the mental process is the same. The blacksmith draws a horseshoe with a hammer, the draughtsman draws it with pencil: the manual process differs again, but the cerebral activity is the same. In like manner the painter draws with his brush, a carver with chisels, a tailor with shears, a mason with trowel, and the carpenter with various tools. The lathe is a machine for drawing different forms in iron and wood, the band-saw for carving out designs, the loom for drawing fabrics of all sorts. With all these machines, if a pattern is not used, the one that designed it is the artist, and the operator is but a part of the machine. He is an artisan. If a blacksmith can draw beautiful designs on paper, he can hammer them out of iron. If the draughtsman can draw a horseshoe on paper, lie can hammer it out of iron as soon as he has over- come the technical difficulties. If a person can draw a design on paper he can construct that de- sign in any trade or department as soon as he overcomes the mechanical difficulties of that de- partment. Outside of the mechanical arts, drawing is the basis of a large number of branches. It is the basis of the decorative arts—frescoing, tapestrv, embroidery, and lettering. It is the foundation f the plastic arts—carving, moulding, modeling, and sculpture. It is the basis of the reproductive arts—etching, engraving, lithographing, printing, photography. It is the beginning of the produc- tive arts, which include original work in anv de- partment. Drawing shortens the school course. By cultivating the perceptive powers, the time is shortened in acquiring those branches that wholly or in part depend on observation. Trained perceptivcs add wonderfully to the power of 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR imagination. A cultivated imagination enables the pupil to see a river in a rill, a mountain in a hillock.of sand, a lake in a pool of.water; will en- able him to journey in imagination across the trackless ocean, through the jungles and forests, up the rivers, over the plains, and across the moun- tains ; will enable him to see forms beyond the range of vision, and compass magnitudes too vast for measurements. Imagination is the creating faculty. Drawing is one of the surest means of acquiring knowledge. To draw an object requires intelligence and close observation: to reproduce that object, a cultivated memory : to reproduce a modified form of that ob- ject, a trained imagination; and. lastly, to repre- sent an idea from that object requires knowledge, memory, and imagination. For example, it re- quires close observation to draw a cat: an acute memory to recall the image and reproduce it on the blackboard; a trained imagination to be able to represent the cat climbing a tree. and. lastly, a combination of these three to associate cats to- gether. making a harmonious composition. Drawing cultivates the hand and lays the founda- tion of technical education. It is a study that seldom, if ever, becomes involuntary, like writing, but is always under the supervision of the mind. To draw even the most simple object requires the concentration of the mind in directing the hand for its reproduction. This constant working of the mind and hand in harmony with each other leads to great precision and accuracy in the use of the hand. The precision and accuracy may be utilized in any department of work. Drawing is the basis of accurate observation. To reproduce an object requires the closest scru- tiny of that object, not only of the details, but of the whole form taken as a unit: not only the shape of the tree, but the character of its branch- ing and foliage as well. Not only the form and color of a flower, but the number and arrange- ment of its petals, stamens, sepals, and pistil. A trained observation will sec that a cat is similar to a tiger, a dog to a wolf, and a rat to a beaver; will see the similarity of an island to a lake, a strait to an isthmus, and a cape to a bay. Ob- servation gives ideas. Drawing is a study peculiarly adapted to chil- dren. Children love drawing. The perceptive powers are the most active in childhood. Mental activity begins in the senses. A little child lives in his senses. He delights to see, hear, and feel. His eyes are sharp, his ears acute, and his fingers are busy. He learns best by seeing and doing. Drawing is seeing and doing. To the teacher drawing is a valuable help, not only in awakening interest, but in lessening his or her labor and making school more attractive. There is no limit to the resources which this sub- ject places at the teacher's command. She can bring into the schoolroom a lake, a mountain, or a river, all kinds of animals, birds, and reptiles,, all kinds of trees, shrubs, and plants, fruits and flowers. She can show how the Eskimo lives in the frozen regions of the North and the savage among the tropical forests of the South. She can bring into the schoolroom the pyramids of Egypt or a Chinese pagoda. She can use drawing in object lessons and for busy work. It can be used in the reading, number, and language classes; in the geography, history, and physiology classes, and as a help in the sciences. She can illustrate what she sees, thinks, and imagines. She thus opens a new field, a new world, and makes life wider and broader and deeper. The aim of the course in manual arts that has just been intro- duced in the public schools is to impart a knowl- edge of the arts by means of the correlation of drawing and manual work. This knowledge of the arts will be of practical service to the pupils after they .leave school, and at the same time will assist them in the development of culture, re- finement. and taste. It is the hope that drawing will be given its proper time and place in the general course of study, and that it will be recognized as a subject worthy of careful consideration during the child's school life. This drawing in schools is often the only drawing in training received by a majority who leave school to become breadwinners, and who must furnish the skill, the taste, and the ideas which will dominate the masses. The average workman must understand drawing because exe- cution in nearly every branch of industry demands it; and American industry, we arc told, suffers then the lack of such knowledge by workmen; consequently we find the nations who excel in taste and skill controlling the world’s market in articles of artistic manufacture. The present course in manual arts has been planned to meet the demand as well as to cultivate an appreciation of art in its application of production, to home- making and to personal life of the individual. Art for art’s sake is not foremost, but to the com- mon needs of the people, which will show evidence of the satisfying of those needs in giving ability to produce, not only useful, but beautiful, things.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «45 School News Cbe Senior Class Election Among the several innovations which have been given a working trial during the past live months of the school year, one has, perhaps, a particular interest to all classes, and even to those who are yet to enter the High School. This is the method pursued in the Senior Class election of the past month. Heretofore, the election of class officers, etc., has been obtained by the familiar acclamation-nomina- tion method, which method was open to many abuses in school elections as elsewhere. Mr. Hatch of the Civics department of the faculty suggested that it would be a feasible plan to carry on the class elections by the latest ac- cepted methods, thus giving the participants an opportune lesson in Civics as well as insuring the proper conduct of the elections. After consultation with Mr. Avery the choice of carrying on their elections bv the old or the new method was given to the Seniors, who unani- mously adopted the new way. This new or direct nomination method may be briefly summed up as follows:— Any member of the class, by taking out nomina- tion papers from the duly-authorized person and securing a certain number of signatures for his nomination, can have his name appear upon the primary ballot, provided that he has the required number of legal signatures and that the papers are turned in to the proper person on or before the time stated for such return. The names of those persons successful in ob- taining nomination papers which satisfy the re- quirements arc then placed upon the primary bal- lot prepared after the state model. The primaries arc then held and a certain number of candidates who received the largest number of votes are thereby made the candidates in the finals. In the specific instance of the Senior election, Mr. Hatch assumed the duties of the class clerk, and five persons applied to him for presidential nomination papers, all of whom were successful in meeting the stated requirements, i.c., the signa- tures of twenty-five legal voters. These signa- tures were carefully examined by a committee of election officers, chosen by Mr. Hatch, to detect possible “repeaters.” These five names were then placed upon the primary ballot and the primaries held in Room 18 E. Rut here the proper methods for safeguarding the polls were put into effect. The voters came up in single file, each giving his name to two checking clerks who held a class list. 11 is name having been found upon the list was checked off, and the voter proceeded to the clerk or deputy clerk, who gave him a ballot. The bal- lot, when marked, was taken to the ballot-box, and the name of the voter again checked off by two clerks, also holding a class list, before the bal- lot was slid correctly folded into the ballot box un- der the supervision of the ballot clerk. After a reasonable time the polls were declared closed, and the votes counted. The candidates for president and treasurer were eliminated to three for each office, while only two persons had taken out papers for secretary, and were thus not affected by the primaries, which is. in reality, but an elimination. After a period of two weeks al- lowed for electioneering the names selected by the primaries were placed upon the final ballot and the final elections held, by the kindness of the city clerk, in the Cummings polling booth on School street. Here the same procedure was followed as in the primaries, but under better facilities, the en- tire vote of the class being cast in less than twenty minutes, with absolutely no chance for fraud. After the polls were closed the contents of the ballot box were taken for counting to the High School by the warden of the polls, who alone was empowered to touch the ballots before counting. The Senior class is to be commended for the amount of interest shown in the elections. Con- sidering the large proportion of votes cast, twenty- four ballots to every twenty-five of the class, the new plan was found in the end not only far more effective, but also a saving of time against the de- lay and confusion of the old class caucus. For the accomplishment of such a desirable re- form. the Seniors and. indeed, the whole school owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Hatch, who not only brought about its trial, but also did all in his power to ensure its success. Election officers: Warden, Mcyric Rogers; clerk, Miss Lyons; deputy clerk, Martin Carpen- ter; checking clerks. Miss Florence Earle, Miss Gladys Teele, Arthur Richardson, Louis Pellegrini; ballot clerk, Miss Hazel Bacheller. 146 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Unterscbolastic Debates The first interscholastic debates of the Inter- scholastic Triangular Debating League will take place on the evening of March S, on the question, “ Resolved, that it is impossible to establish a method of arbitration by which international war shall be abolished.” One debate will be held in Somerville, one in Brookline, and one in Newton. The Somerville debate will be in Moore Hall, Y. M. C. A. Building. Each school will defend the negative at home against one of its opponents; and will send an affirmative team into the camp of the third member of the league, so that three Somerville High School speakers will up- hold the negative side of the question at home against Newton High, and three others will de- fend the affirmative on the same night at Brook- line. Trials for the selection of speakers for S. II. S. were held in the hall Thursday, February 8. The following speakers were chosen: Clinton W. Carvel!, ’Ll: Eric Johnson. '13; John E. Laverty. ’12: David M. Lipshires, ’13; Francis J. Mahoney. ’12: and J. William Parks, Y2. The alternates will be Meyrie R. Rogers. T2, and Ed- ward Sinclair, ’12. The price of admission tickets for the debate is twenty-five cents. They may be secured from members of the Lincoln or the S. H. S. Debating Societies. ------------------------------- Girls’ Glee Club 'fhe Senior Girls' Glee Club, recently organized, elected officers as follows: President, Flora Ar- rington ; secretary, Marion Leahy; treasurer, Hazel Walker; pianist.

The violin duet given by Ralph Sliney and Wilbur Hughes was especially delightful. Hnter 5oclet Debates The Lincoln Debating Society held a joint de- bate with the S. H. S. Club on January 23 on the question: “Resolved, that the present plans look- ing to the general abolition of war by arbitra- tion are impracticable.” The affirmative side was upheld by the S. II. S. Club, Messrs. Carvell, Cahill, and Lipshires being the principal speakers on that side, and Lipshires giving the rebuttal. The negative side was represented by Meyric Rogers. Harold Jones, and Thomas West, of the Lincoln Club. Rogers giving the rebuttal. The judges, Miss Merrill. Mr. Sprague, and Mr. Wil- kins rendered the decision in favor of the affirma- tive side. On January 30. a second debate was held on the same subject, but the S. H. S. Club upheld the negative side and the Lincoln Club upheld the affirmative. Messrs. Laverty. Johnson, and Ma- honey gave the affirmative argument; Messrs. Hart. Gustin, and Coleman the negative. A de- cision for the affirmative was given by the judges, who were Mr. Wathan and Mr. Poor, of the faculty, and Mr. Cole. S. E. H. S.. 1011, Harvard, 1013. These debates were held in preparation for the competitive debate to be held on February 0. ----------------------------------------- On Wednesday, January 10. the S. H. S.

After a long debate on the part of the judges, the victory was given to the affirmative. That much interest throughout the school was aroused by the debate was shown by the large audience present. ■«•«.� . 4. ----------- The Tai Ping Club, an organization of Somer- ville High School Seniors, met recently at the home of Gladys Harmon, 16 Hancock street.

The poem is as follows:— Xoolt 36otb Ma?s Listen, my boy, I taught you how to creep ere you could walk, Just as I’m trying now to make you think before you talk; But this let me impress on you, in all your boister- ous plays, Before you rush where danger lurks, remember, look both ways. I‘m thinking of the little boys—once full of life like mine, Whose lives were crushed out in the streets, whose mothers grieve and pine For the lost one—now dearer than the others left to raise— Mho failed to heed the warning, remember look both ways. From other boys you'll get the dare, and may get gibes and joshin ; But mother's is the only voice will speak a word of caution. Don't take a dare which brings you only silly boyish praise, And with it bring some dreadful risk, but stop and look both ways. My boy may be a man some day; I want him free from scars Received from vicious horses’ hoofs, or stealing rides on cars. I want a clean and manly son with no particular craze, I want him like his father, who will stop and look both ways. In the years to come I see him in the busy marts of trade Full of life, of push and purpose, for life’s battle unafraid; Through the city's teeming traffic I can see him thread the maze, But he never leaves the curbstone till he stops and look both ways. Look both ways on all occasions, be it business, love, or fun. There are two sides to every question, but a right side, only one; And that you may take the right side, 0I1, re- member, mother prays That God may guide her darling boy. and make him look both ways.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 EXCHANGE NOTES Most of the criticisms for the column this month are on the December numbers of our exchanges, as there have been few January issues received, and the December numbers were too late for the January Radiator. We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of the following exchanges: The Maine Campus, the Gazette (Lynn Classical High School), the Mirror (Waltham. Mass,), the High School Herald (West- field. Mass.), the Volcano (Hornell. X. V.). the Stylus (Westfield. Mass.), the Sketch Look (Deep River. Conn.), the Clarion (West Roxbury, Mass.), the Grotonian. the High School Gleaner (Paw- tucket. R. I.), the Lawrence High School bulletin, the Pioneer (Reading, Mass.), the Oracle (Pangor, Me.), the Searchlight (Walpole. Mass.). The Green and White (Braintree, Mass.) has made a good start, and it shows promise of being an excellent paper. The cover design is very good. We are glad to receive the June issue of the Advocate (Needham, Mass.). It is very interest- ing throughout its departments, and we would like to see it again. Too much of your paper is devoted to athletics, Philomath (Framingham High), in comparison with your other departments, and you have no literary matter. Your paper could be improved by placing the advertisements at the back. School Life (Melrose) has a neat and simple cover, its arrangement is excellent, and there is good proportion in its departments. The exchange column of the Jabberwock (Girls’ Latin) is well written. The arrangement of the material and the literary matter is especially good. The Racquet (Portland.

The infant a mother attended and loved; The mother that infant’s affection who proved; The husband that mother and infant who blessed, Each. all. are away to their dwellings of rest. The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in whose eye, Shone beauty and pleasure, her triumphs are by; And the memory of those who loved her and praised, Are alike from the minds of the living erased. The hand of the king that the sceptre hath borne; The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn; The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave, Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave.

To the life we are clinging our fathers would cling; But it speeds for us all. like a bird on the wing. They loved, but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is cold; They grieved, but no wail from their slumbers will come; They joyed, but the tongue of their gladness is dumb. They died, aye! they died; and we things that are now, Who walk on the turf that lies over their brow, Who make in their dwelling a transient abode. Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage road. Yea! hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, We mingle together in sunshine and rain; And the smiles and the tears, the song and the dirge, Still followed each other, like surge upon surge. Tis the wink of an eye, ’tis the draught of a breath; From the blossom of health to the paleness of death. From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud— Oh. why should the spirit of mortal be proud? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 155 tdoobman Elected baseball Manager At a meeting of the executive committee of the Athletic Association on January 25 Earle K. Woodman, 15)12, was elected baseball manager, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ralph Marden, who has left school.

Woodman is a member of the class of 15)12, of which he has been vice-president for three year� . We arc sure that he will prove to be one of the best baseball managers in the history of the .school. ■.... —■ — Somerville IMgb, 5; Cambridge IMgb and Xatln, l On the cold and windy afternoon of January 10 the Somerville hockey seven won from the Cambridge High and Latin aggregation, sending them home defeated by the score of 5 to 1. The game was played at Broadway Park, with the ice surface in excellent condition. The Red and Blue seven showed great improve- ment over anything previously displayed, team work being a conspicuous feature. The forward line was fast. During most of the game the puck was kept in Cambridge territory. For Somerville, Jim Robertson was the star, making four of the five tallies, and at all times was in the thick of it. Whittaker at rover played in great form, caging the puck once, and Maskell, who played against his former team- mates as well as he ever played with them, was in the game from start to finish. Garland and Cos- grove played well together, and let little get past them. The lone tally for the Cantabs was made by Sands after a scrimmage in front of the Somer- ville net in the second period. For Cambridge, Sands, Baker, and Harrington excelled. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. CAM BRIDGE H. AXD L. Holmes, Baker, l.w. Maskell. Crispin, c.. c., Baker Whittaker, r Robertson, r.w l.w..

Hewton IMgb, 4; Somerville Dlgb, 2 On January 1? the Somerville hockey team journeyed out to the Braeburn Country Club, situated in the far wilds of Xewton, and were taken into camp by the fast Xewton seven. -1 to 2. The Somerville forward line was somewhat off form, and the defence not up to standard. Xew- ton simply tired them out in the first half, and put it all over them in the second. Referee Baldwin showed a marked partiality toward the wearers of the Orange and Black, once allowing them a goal made by a Xewtonite at least ten feet offside. Such decisions take the life out of any team. The first period was an even break with both teams showing up well. Xewton drew first blood when Forte drove the puck into the net from a scrimmage. Whittaker evened up the score by a brilliant dash up the ice, and scored again a moment later, putting Somerville to the good. Thompson then tallied for Xewton, evening things up again. The second period was all Xewton; the Somer- ville men showed lack of training and looked played out. A few moments after play began Forte received a forward, and shot an easy goal which was allowed. Xewton at once started an SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ise attack which kept George busy, lie making a number of pretty stops. The final Newton goal was marked by carelessness on the part of the Somerville defence. Forte, all alone, picked up the puck back of the Somerville net. carried it out to the front, turned, and sent the rubber into the cage before anybody moved. W hittaker, Robertson, and Holmes played well for the visitors, and Forte excelled for the New- ton seven. The summary:— NEWTON HIGH. SOMERVILLE HIGH.

The match was witnessed by a large number of spectators, many of them coming from the rival schools, and the building was full of enthusiasm and cheering. The remarkable show- ing of the Somerville team was a surprise to everyone, and gave some indication of a most suc- cessful season for the wearers of the Red and Blue. Arlington was a big favorite to win. but the crack Somerville defence was too much for the Arlington forward line. Both goals were made by the point. George Lowe, who showed himself to be a wonderful player. Repeatedly his dashes down the ice brought the crowd to its feet, and his defensive work was excellent. Lowe scored the first goal in the opening period after dribbling the puck clear through the Somer- ville forwards. With a final dash he rushed di- rectly between Cosgrove and Garland, and slammed the rubber into the cage. Late in the second half Lowe tallied again in an identical manner. Arlington had a little on Somerville in all de- partments of the game: their only weakness lay in the inability of the forwards to shoot with accu- racy. Coiisens. Bower, and Buttrick were large factors in Arlington's win. For Somerville, Walter Whittaker. Jim Robert- son. and Chauncev Cosgrove starred. Whittaker worked with might and main to pull out a victory for his team, but Buttrick was too much. Robert- son's shots were good, but Dave Buttrick was there ahead of them every time.

Conn., and defeated tne local school boys by the score of 5 to 4. The game was made memorable by the remarkable whirlwind finish which allowed the Somerville seven to re- turn victorious. Up to the last five minutes of the second half Pomfret was leading, 4 to 1: then Whittaker and Townsend got busy, and by sensa- tional work four goals were scored, the winning goal being shot with only fifteen seconds to play.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR '5 7 lDclrose, 3; Somerville, 2 J V “ID,” 1913 In its first league game of the season, on Janu- ary 22, Somerville suffered defeat at the hands of the fast Melrose aggregation. 3 to 2. The game was the opening attraction of a big ice carnival held at the Arena under the auspices of a Boston newspaper, and there was a crowd of nearly 6,000 people to witness it. Melrose showed much better hockey than Som- erville in the first half, and in this period they did all their scoring. After five minutes of play. Man- son hooked the puck out of a scrimmage and shot it past George into the net. Six minutes later Wolley counted another. Again, near the end of the half, Wolley scored, after taking the puck from a scrimmage. In this period Somerville gave a very poor ex- hibition, the forwards not working well together. Somerville had none of the team work displayed by Melrose, whose forward line, sweeping down the rink four abreast, was almost irresistible. Walter Whittaker, who played a sterling game, was practically unsupported. Time and again he took the puck near his own goal, and by fast skating and skilful dodging and dribbling carried it down the rink to a position in trout of the Melrose goal, and then, when blocked, there would be none there to pass to. In the second period Somerville showed great improvement in every department. George, at goal, was replaced by Richards, who was the sur- prise of the game. He proved an unexpected ele- ment of strength, stopping many hard drives by the Melrose forwards, who did not succeed in getting the puck by him. Robertson got the first goal by Cheissong on an angle shot from the side of the rink. Whittaker scored the final goal when he received the puck in front of the net from Carl Holmes, who had taken it on a long pass from Garland. Early in the second period Whit- taker carried the puck the length of the rink un- assisted, very cleverly coaxed Cheissong out of the net, and had a clear shot for the goal, but missed by a very narrow margin.

Somerville Befeats Hn over BeaOemv, 3 to l One of the most enjoyable trips made by the hockey team this winter was the journey to An- dover on January 24. As to the game itself, Somerville displayed splendid form, and deserved to win. All that held the Red and Blue team to three tallies was the re- markable Andover defence. Their heavy body- checking, although rough, was legal and very effective. Time and again the team work of the visitor’s forwards came to smash a few yards from the Andover goal. The Somerville defence, also, was strong. Garland, at cover-point, being the star of the game. Ilis dribbling was first class, and his defensive work of a high order. Harold George played a great game at the net, and Whittaker and Townsend showed up well. It was Andover's first defeat of the season. ----------------------------- Somerville Miob, 12 ; .16. C. jH. S., 1 Somerville’s easiest game of the season came on January 26. when the high school seven met Bos- ton College High School in a return game at the Tufts College rink. There was absolutely noth- ing to it but Somerville, and the Red and Blue had no difficulty in securing goals through the visitor’s weak defence. In the second period Coach Tift completely changed the line-up with the exception of Captain Whittaker, and sent in the second team, which came up to the highest ex- pectations. ----------------------------- Somerville t)iob, 5 ; ZlDilton HMflb, 0 In a fast-played game at the Cunningham Gym hockey rink on February 3 the Somerville seven won its sixth victory by defeating Milton High, to 0. The ice conditions were the best of the sea- son. T he Red and Blue team displayed excellent form, keeping the puck in the local boys' territory during the whole game. Gustafson, the husky goal tend of the Milton team, was a tower of strength, making a large number of hard stops. Without him the Somerville team would have completely swamped its opponents. Captain Whittaker was the star performer for Somerville, and “Jim” Robertson and Carl Holmes did excellent work. Gustafson and Sweeney played well for Milton. � 58 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Somerville SboulO Ibave a TIracfe XTearn Every clay one can read in the sporting columns of the newspapers how Jones, of Malden High, is a comer in the clashes, that Smith, of Boston English, is springing into prominence as a high jumper, that the relay team of Brookline is a re- markable speedy quartette; but not a word for Somerville High. There is no reason why this should be so; for there arc some ten-second men in this school as -well as elsewhere, and several others are able to clear the bar at five feet. Besides these, the shot- put ought to have a number of followers, and the dashes and distance runs should bring out a large number of contestants. A relay team ought to be a dandy with the material now in the school. The worst drawback to a track team is that there is no school gymnasium, but that doesn’t prevent the fellows from running out of doors. Why can’t we have a cross-country run like the one held at Cambridge Latin School a month or two ago? Let everybody have a chance to get in it. and there should be a large number of en- trants. too. The course ought to be around three miles, which will give the endurance of the runners a chance to count. A possible course would be to have the runners start from the Y. M. C. A., take Highland avenue to Davis square, up Holland street to Tcelc square, turn back into Broadway, until Marshall street is reached, then to Gilman square, and finally up to the school by the easiest way. Our Somerville hills will give the contestants plenty of trouble. As rewards of merit give the winner an “S,” give the first four men medals, and let the first ten men who finish wear their class numerals. Possi- bly a team can be picked to represent the school in outside cross-country runs. Now. all this may seem to be the product of a fanciful mind: nevertheless, something should be done, and at once. Something has got to break the ice. Why not this cross-country rim?

Although the first team comes in for all the glory and credit, there is much praise due to the second string men for their hard work during the last two months of the hockey season. Of the second team some individuals are worthy of high mention, notably Crispin and “Dud” Holden, both of whom have shown up in great form. Crispin will undoubtedly figure in next season’s line-up, and Holden, who will graduate in June, has been of great service to the team. He is an excellent defence man, and plays either cover or point equally well. His graduation will deprive next winter’s team of a capable player. Under Crispin, as captain of the second team, the subs have already met with considerable suc- cess. They have worked faithfully and well. The school has supported the hockey seven splendidly this year. Manager Bourne makes the statement that Somerville has undoubtedly sold more tickets to the Arena than any other high school. Hockey is a coming sport, and cannot fail to become popular everywhere. Edward L Rochussen (irad.

Xester C. (Austin, B.t '09 [Mr. Gustin was born in Somerville. He was graduated from the Pope school in 1005. While at High School he played three years on the football teams, and in his Senior year was a class editor on the Radiator, class poet, and historian. After graduation he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is still in the class oi 1013. He has played two years on class football teams, and was a first lieutenant in the M. I. T. Cadets ] HE great liner slowly worked her way up the river towards her dock, amid the shrill whistling of tug-boats and confusion of shouted commands. On the lower deck, their arms around each other, a light of eager expecta- tion in their eyes, stood three immigrants, Michael O’Connell, his mother, and his sister. So this was the city of their dreams. Michael’s eyes wandered along the busy Xew York water front as might those of a Spanish cavalier scanning the horizon for a glimpse of the El Dorado. A pressure of his mother’s arm about him brought him back to realities. So we arc here at last,” she murmured softly, looking at him with a shining face. “Now we are free from the English tyrants, and you can work and become rich, as your uncle has. What! Would I be sorry for my years of poverty and saving after seeing this hour?” “Yes, mother,” he answered happily, all that is past now. Why, they say you can even pick up gold in the streets here, there is so much of it. And then we will be rich, mother, and have enough to eat and to keep us warm. Won’t that be fine?” And he threw his arms around her and gave her a resounding kiss. It was the middle of July. 1862. Eive years be- fore, Michael’s uncle, Timothy, the black sheep of the family, having had trouble with the English authorities, left Ireland for the Xew World, and for a long time they had heard nothing of him. Then an acquaintance, returning from Xew York, told them how Tim had become one of the ruling politicians in that golden city of. the West. He told them, also, of the splendid opportunities in that land of freedom, and advised them to make it their home. So Mrs. O’Connell had written to her brother-in-law, and had received an answer telling her to come. After much labor and saving, they had at last scraped together enough money to pay for their passage across the ocean, and our story opens just as they arc about to enter the land of their hopes. In the meantime the Civil War had broken out, but of this they knew nothing. At the wharf they had to pass an examination,, but as the customs officials seemed full of sup- pressed excitement, it was careless and hurried. One of the officers told them that they had better wait in the building, as there was a large crowd in the streets, but Mrs. O’Connell replied that her brother would be waiting for her, and they passed out. Their first glimpse of the city as they came through the gates was not encouraging. A yell- ing. cursing mob of people filled the streets. Michael’s mother and sister shrank back, but he tried to reassure them, in spite of the rising tide of doubt in his heart. Then he looked around be- wildered. Where was his uncle? Why was he not there to meet them? He scanned the faces about him anxiously. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Timothy on an opposite corner. Tak- ing his mother and sister by the hand, he began to work his way across the road. At this moment the mob started along the street with a rush. Michael fought and struggled against it. but the three were swept along like driftwood before a breaking dam. Soon they could see ahead of them the cause of the sudden movement. A frightened negro was fleeing for his life, scream- ing out for mercy as he ran. His attempt to es- cape was vain, however, for he was speedily over- taken and tied. A dozen knives flashed in the air, but a man sprang forward, swinging a rope. “Let him hang!” he cried, Met him hang! Kill them all —it is on their account that we arc drafted.” And he swung one end of the rope over a near-by lamp- post. while a score of hands knotted the other about the doomed man’s neck. The negro fell down on his knees, shrieking and pleading for his life, but his entreaties were answered with threats and curses, and soon he was swung aloft, where he hung, kicking convulsively. Michael’s mother and sister hid their faces from the horrible sight and began weeping, while he himself looked wildly for some avenue of escape. A narrow alley-way caught his gaze, and, seizing them by the hands, he made his way towards it with all possible haste. Scarcely had they reached n SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 its shelter when the long roll of drums echoed down the street. Michael glanced out. A long line of blue-coated soldiers was sweeping towards the mob at double time. Suddenly the troops halted, and there came a rattling of steel as the glittering bayonets leaped from their scabbards. Then a deadly hush settled over the street. The commanding officer stepped forward. “I order you to disperse!” he cried out. “The law has ordered that men shall be drafted for the front, and to resist means trouble for you. His words were greeted with yells and jeers. Then a brick flashed through the air, and he fell to the ground, stunned. Another soldier sprang forward. “Disperse! he cried, “at once!” A shower of stones and clubs answered him. He turned to his men. “Aim! A hundred rifles were leveled. “Fire!” A deadly sheet of flame darted from the blue-coated line, and the front ranks of the mob lay in tattered heaps on the ground. Michael turned away, sick at heart. So this was the country of his dreams! This was the land where every one was free, where there was no in- justice or oppression! He felt his sister tugging at his sleeve, and looked down. His mother had fainted. He leaned over her and tried to restore her to consciousness. Suddenly somebody slapped him on the back, lie glanced up. It was his uncle, Timothy. Michael sprang up with a cry of joy. “Come quick!” his uncle said. “I have had an awful time finding you. We must get out of this. There is a regular battle going on in the street.” And he led the way down through the alley, and Michael, picking up his mother, followed. Soon they reached the shelter of a quieter thoroughfare, where they stopped until Mrs. O'Connell had re- covered. Then Timothy led the way to a house, and. showing them to a couple of rooms, told them to rest and to make themselves at home. He then made a few inquiries of his sister-in-law. after which he went out. Mrs. O'Connell and her son and daughter made themselves comfortable for the night. At day- break the next morning Michael was awakened by some one shaking his shoulder. He opened his eves. His uncle stood over him. “Wake up and come down stairs with me,” he said, “I have got a position for you.” Michael arose, slipped on his lx ots, and followed Timothy below. “There is an iron foundry near here that needs men.” his uncle explained as they went along. I had to get you up early so that you might get a job before they were all filled.” He walked to a door leading to one of the lower rooms, opened it, and stepped in. Michael entered after him. A table near the centre of the room held a lighted lamp and several papers. “Everybody must sign a contract before they will be hired,” he replied in answer to his nephew’s questioning look. “It is merely a mat- ter of form, and docs not mean anything.” And. taking one of the papers, he motioned for Michael to sign it. Michael could neither read nor write, but Timothy helped him scribble a signature which he said would do. Then he took the paper, folded it. and put it in his pocket, after which he went out of the house, telling his nephew to fol- low. Michael walked along whistling. Everything was coming out right after all. The events of the day before seemed to him like the memory of some horrible, unreal dream. It would not be long now before he and his mother could have a little cottage all their own. America was a fine old place, in spite of the unpleasant things he had experienced there. He did not see the grim smile creeping over his uncle’s features, or perhaps his nursings would not have been so pleasant. Soon they arrived at a long, low building. A large number of blue-coated soldiers were stand- ing about, laughing and talking. Michael felt a strange uneasiness rising in his heart. He had seen these same soldiers the day before shoot down defenceless women and children. Choking back his misgivings, however, he followed his uncle. Timothy approached a large, coarse look- ing soldier, and spoke a few words to him in low tones. Then lie introduced his nephew. The soldier put out his hand. “Faith, you wish to work down at the iron foundry,” he said with a smile. Michael nodded his head in assent, and, after a few words, he was told to enter another room. Here his uncle left him. saying that he would return shortly. In the room were a number of men of all walks of life, dressed in citizens’ clothes. Michael went over in one corner by himself and sat down. Half an hour passed. He began to grow uneasy. The minutes began to drag into hours, but still his relative did not come. Suddenly he heard his uncle’s name mentioned. He looked up. A group of men were standing near him, talking. “It won’t seem so bad going to the front when we know that the boss, Tim O’Connell, has got to go. too,” one of them was saying. “Sure, it will seem fine to see him ordered around like the rest of 11s, and with no choice but to mind.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 166 It would. was thic answer, but the boss will never go with us. I saw Tim come in this morn- ing with a substitute to go in his place. If that ain’t him over in the corner, now.” he said, turn- ing to Michael. O’Connell sprang up. “It’s a lie.” lie answered hotly. “It s a lie. I came to work in the iron foundry.” A roar of laughter greeted his state- ment. “It’s a good iron foundry you’re going to ’ someone replied, “only the iron hammers you instead of you hammering it.” And again a roar of laughter came from the group. Michael stood dazed. Then he made a sudden dash from the room. An armed guard blocked his way. “Stand back.” was the harsh command. In his frenzy, he endeavored to force his way out. A blow from a clubbed musket brought him to his knees. “Oh. my God. my mother and sister, my poor mother and sister. he moaned out in his agony, the tears streaming down his face. What will they ever do now, when I am gone to the wars?” He pleaded and prayed to the guard to let him go, but was answered with an abrupt order to Shut up.” After a time he grew calmer, and retired to one side of the room, vowing vengeance to him- self against his uncle. Many of the men looked at him pityingly, but most of them were suffer- ing as much as he, on their own account. At noon an armed guard came into the room and ordered them to “Fall in. and be quick about it : and. aided by kicks and blows, they were at last formed into line and marched out. After a slight lunch, they were hurried to another build- ing. and were there fitted to uniforms and given their field equipment. They were not allowed to rest long, however, for that same night they were herded aboard some freight cars, and their journey to Washington commenced, all the time under the watchful eyes of armed soldiers. As time passed, Michael gradually grew resigned to his fate, and became more friendly to his comrades. The second night after they were drafted a score of them tried to escape bp jumping from the train as it was passing slowly through a vil- lage. but the first three were shot down before they had gone a dozen steps, and O’Connell was glad to shrink back into the shelter of the car. As the days passed, escape grew more and more hopeless, for the further south they got the greater became the numbers of blue-coated soldiers. At Washington they were formed into companies, and. after a few days of drilling, were hurried to the front. Michael followed the fortunes of his company through many months of weary military duty. ()nlv once in this time was his company under fire,, and then only for. a few minutes; but O’Connell never forgot the look on the face of the man be- side him. who had been mortally wounded, and every time he heard the sound of firing his knees grew weak, and he shook with the fear of death. His resentment gradually grew into a dull resig- nation. He thought often of escape, but the speedy execution of all captured deserters chilled his plans in that direction. He thought often, also, of his mother and sister, but he knew that, even if he did escape, it would probably be im- possible to find them now. It was in the Wilderness that his first real test of battle came. One day. as they were advancing through the forest, a hidden line of Confederate skirmishers suddenly opened fire upon them. In an instant all was excitement. Most of the men fell down and hugged the ground at the first sound of danger, and it was some minutes before the cursing officers could prod them into some semblance of a battle-line. When the sudden volley rattled out in front of them. Michael stumbled behind a nearby tree and sprawled out on the ground, his teeth chattering a tattoo of terror. He tried to load his rifle, but his trembling hands refused to obey. An officer ran up to him. “Get up, you dirty coward,” he commanded shortly, enforcing his order with a half inch of his sabre buried in the fleshy part of Michael’s leg. Michael sprang up, mad with pain and terror, and turned on his commander. Just then a heavy shell came crashing through the trees, and O’Connell recoiled in horror as the soldier’s lifeless body tumbled to the ground. And then came fear, the mad, ungovernable tear of the battlefield. With a shriek of fright, he turned and ran. An officer sprang at him and barred his way. but O’Connell hurled him aside and fled on, sobbing hysterically. Suddenly he heard a challenge to halt, and then a bullet whistled past him. He tried to increase his speed, but a hidden root caught his foot, and he tripped and fell to the ground, trembling and moaning. A minute later he was jerked roughly to his feet, and sent staggering toward the battle again, followed by a cursing soldier, one of the line of pickets posted in the rear of the drafted battle- lines to prevent stragglers from deserting. “There's no coward gets through this line without he can show blood,” his tormentor informed him savagely, backing up his words with a blow from his fist that made O'Connell reel. “It’s back to SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 167 the fight for yours, and if you try to get through this here line again without showing blood. 1 11 send you to Kingdom Come. And then lie re- turned to his guard duty, while Michael stag- gered back into the forest and sank to his knees in a clump of underbrush. After a time the firing in front of him began to grow heavier, and soon the wounded commenced to drift past on their way to the rear, some carry- ing ghastly wounds, and some wounded only slightly, but all “showing blood.” The bullets continually clipped off the leaves and branches about him. and he longed to flee from his scantily- protected hiding-place to the shelter of the hills in the rear, but he dared not brave the anger of the guard again. Then an idea came to him. Why not wound himself slightly so that he would be able to pass the pickets. At first he shudderingly thrust the thought from his mind, but as the firing gradually increased in volume the plan appealed to him more and more. Where would be the best place? His foot? No, for then he could not walk. His hand? Yes, that was it. If he shot away the forefinger of his right hand he could not fire a gun again, and then he would be allowed to pass; even he might be discharged from the army and again be free. Reaching out his arm he seized his musket and pulled it slowly towards him. Then, as if in a dream, he placed his finger across the muzzle and slowly closed his left hand about the trigger. He came to himself with a start. A strange sound was vibrating through the air. He lis- tened. From far away through the forest came the sound of singing. Nearer and nearer it grew, increasing in volume, swelling even above the crashing roar of the battle. Michael remained motionless, fascinated. ■“Sure we'll rally round the flag, boys, we 11 rally once again. Shouting the battle-cry of freedom! The whole forest was trembling and vibrating ‘•with the stirring melody of sound. Michael could see dimly the long, solid lines approaching amid the trees. On and on they came, keeping step to the swinging words of the battle-song, heads erect, eyes blazing with the joy of the conflict, hurling their defiance into the very teeth of that blood-swept, smoke-hidden inferno. These were no drafted cowards, but the heroes of a score of battle-fields! Michael rose to his feet, unconscious of the storm of lead sweeping all about him. Not the unfeeling people of a strange land, but his own countrymen, were with him now. Old Ireland was there beside him in those death-filled woods, fighting for freedom and liberty! Now they were abreast of him. and here and there in the ranks he could sec faces he had known at home. There was little Patrick Donovan, who had run away from home to be a soldier, beating madly on a drum, his countenance shining with excitement. There was Jack O’IJrien, one of his boyhood chums, now swinging a sabre and telling his men to dress up along the front rank or I'll have you doing fatigue duty for a week. What if they had seen his mad flight from the battle a short time before! O’Connell felt a rush of shame sweep over him at the recollection. Then lie felt a wild desire to be with them, to stand in the ranks of Ireland and strike a blow for freedom. We will welcome to our ranks, boys, the loyal, true, and brave, Shouting the battle-cry of freedom.” The wild words seemed to be calling, beckon- ing. drawing him to the battle front with an irre- sistible force. He seized his gun and ran for- ward. A thunderous volley crashed out in front, and as the flying tempest of steel swept past him he wondered dimly that he felt no fear. Now they were nearing the smoke-hidden fortifications of the enemy. “Fix bay’ncts.” A thrill of expectation ran down the line. ■‘Charge!” With a wild cheer they sprang for- ward. A battery of artillery suddenly opened upon them, ripping and tearing up the line with its tempestuous shower of death. The charging ranks paused in confusion. A color-bearer sprang forward, waving his flag. A flying piece of metal struck him. and he stumbled to the ground in a lifeless heap. Michael was beside him. He caught the falling standard, and. swinging it above his head, dashed on. With an echoing yell the regiment swarmed after him. following on through the entangle- ments of wire and branches, on over the hidden, stake-filled pits of the enemy, until, finally, pant- ing. but triumphant, they swept up over the top of the breastworks and down upon the astonished grav-coated soldiers beyond. For a few mo- ments there was a fierce hand-to-hand struggle, but nothing could withstand that charge, and soon the Confederates fled, leaving them in possession of the field. Their victory was short-lived, however. Sud- denly a lurid glare lit up the smoke-filled forest in front of them. The woods were on fire! The enemy, encouraged by his new aid. redoubled [Continued on page 188.] 163 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Cbc Dant of Justice t a3el D. iRarts, X., 'll; IWelleslev?; '15 | Hazel V. Paris graduated from the Forster grammar school in '07, In her Senior year Miss Paris was alumni editor of the Radiator. Wellesley September 11, where she is making a good record 11K sun was setting in a mass of dark purple clouds, and Jack Whitney, seeing that a storm was gathering, quickened his steps. Jack was a stalwart, heavily-built fellow of twenty years, who had few equals in physical development and strength among his comrades, powerful lumber men. Resides this, he had the greatest integrity of character, intelli- gence, generosity, and kindness toward his fellow- men. Jack was foreman of a lumber camp about ten miles from the small village of Long Lake in the northern part of Michigan, and at the time of our story was on his way home from the village, where he had been for the weekly mail. A walk of nearly eight miles was before him, but lie would not have minded that had he not been struggling with a great disappointment. More than for the mail, lie had gone to the village to see Doris Carman, the sweetest girl in all the world, so Jack thought. He loved Doris dearly, and, furthermore, he knew that his love was reciprocated. But she had gone out riding an hour before he had reached her home, and on ac- count of the late hour he had been obliged to leave without seeing her. As he strode along the road by the side of the lake from which the village took its name, his at- tention was attracted by a small rowboat out in the middle of the lake, containing a single occu- pant. and coming from the opposite shore. It was at too great a distance for him to discern who it was. Thinking, however, that it was one of the inhabitants of Long Village, he paid no further attention to it. and hastened on his way. About a quarter of a mile further on he was startled by the sound of a horse's hoofs. The next moment, to his astonishment, Doris Carman galloped into view, her pretty face aglow with the roseate hue of pleasure and excitement. “Why, Doris, I'm surprised to see you way out here! exclaimed the young woodsman, his face lighting up with pleasure. “Indeed, Jack, I'm very glad to see vou. “Rut, you arc a long way from home; a storm is gathering, and darkness is coming on. “You're further from home than I am, and be- and from the Latin High School in '11. Miss Paris entered the Freshman class at in her studies. J sides. Jack, you’re on foot. I'll be home in a few minutes on Ginger. “I don't care about the distance, and if you could not go more quickly alone, I’d go back with you. But I won’t detain you any longer. Good- evening, Doris. “Good-night, Jack. I'm sorry T wasn’t at home, and lightly touching her whip to her pony, she galloped oft. Jack watched her until she turned the bend in the road, and then lie resumed his way with a lighter heart. He thought of nothing else but Doris until he was startled by a clap of thunder. He stopped. “I wonder if Doris is home yet, he said aloud. By this time it had grown dark, and a stiff wind had blown up, lashing the waters of the lake into a furv, and whistling through the forest. Then in a moment he resumed his way. “Of course she must be,” he said with a sigh of relief. Just at this moment he heard a faint cry of dis- tress. He went down on the beach and listened, but he heard nothing. He resumed his way once again, thinking that he was allowing a restless imagination to deceive him. lie had gone but a few rods when the cry was repeated. This time it came to his ears sharply and distinctly. Then he remembered the boat he had seen on the lake, and wondered if it had been capsized and its occupant’s life endangered. Jack dashed quickly down to the beach again, and listened intently. The sky was entirely over- cast. and greenish-gray rain clouds were� fast ap- proaching from the west. A vivid flash- of light- ning. a crash of thunder, the roar of the wind and waves were followed by a lull, in which a loud cry and a piercing shriek were carried across the water to the cars of the young woodsman. “My God, lie gasped, “it's a man's shout and a woman's cry. They’re in distress, and they’re not far off. He stood transfixed, every muscle tense, his eyes strained, and his face pale. The waves licked the shore angrily at his feet. Suddenly the rain be- gan to fall in great drops with a sullen roar. Above the warring of the elements the cry rang out again. “Help me! Oh! Help! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Jack tore off his coat and shoes, and plunged into the angry, seething waters. lie knew his great strength and endurance, and wonderful skill in swimming. He beat and fought the waves that met him squarely in the face. Again and again a great billow rolled over his head, but he rose above it. and fought his way on. The lightning flashed sharply across the sky, and the thunder crashed. He could hear the trees creak- ing in the forest, the wind moaning, and the waves roaring in his ears. His progress was slow, but still he fought on toward that cry which rang out above the battling forces of nature. On and on he struggled. Finally his hand came in contact with something. It was a human body, though life seemed extinct. He grasped it, and what startled Jack most was the fact that it was the body of a woman. As he supported her with his left arm. and struck out in the di- rection of shore, her long, heavy hair brushed across his face. The return was made with less difficulty, for the wind and waves favored him. He carried the body up onto the shore, and laid it under a tree. Just at the moment that same agonized cry came to his ears. “Help! Help!” Without another look at the woman’s face, he shouted to the man at the top of his lungs, leaped into the water, and struck out again, putting forth his full strength against the united force of the wind and waves. Finally a flash of lightning re- vealed a man’s head above the water, only a few feet away. Jack struggled to him. and. reaching him. yelled out: “Hand on mv shoulder, stranger. Keep your nerve. I'll save you. The drowning man clutched his shoulder, and they started for shore. When they reached the shore. Jack found that they had landed a few rods helow where the woman lay. The man was too weak to walk, so that Jack had to carry him. The stranger was very large and heavy, and it took nearly all Jack’s strength. He laid him on the ground under a tree, and groped his way back through the darkness to the woman. For the first time now Jack began to wonder ■who the unfortunate victims were. He kneeled down beside the woman, put his face close to hers, and waited for a flash of lightning to reveal her features. It came, and a cry as if the bolt had torn the young woodsman's heart burst from his lips. The woman was his sweetheart. Doris Carman. Without a thought as to how she came to this misfortune, as to who the man was. he lifted her limp form in his arms, and ran back into the woods. Under the shelter of a large tree, pro- tected from the force of the rain by the thick foli- 169 age. he laid his precious burden. Then with no hope other than that of restoring her to life, lie set to work. Jack had lived in the forests of Michigan all his life. He had seen many inani- mate bodies brought out of the waves as dead, yet by means of a vigorous treatment they had been restored. With a knowledge of this treat- ment. he had a slight hope of success. The moaning and shrieking wind, the vivid lightning and crashing thunder, and roaring, surg- ing lake seemed to mock his efforts. Heedless of this fact, he worked on feverishly and desperately. One. two, three hours had gone by. but time past unnoticed. Finally, in anxious words, he cried aloud: Thank God. she lives. Rut not for you. Jack Whitney.” The words came from behind him. and were spoken in a cold, malignant tone. Jack sprang to his feet. It was the voice of Max Field, the only enemy whom Jack had in the world, a rejected suitor of Doris’, and a lumberman whom Jack had had to discharge because of drunkenness and quarreling. lie was a large, powerful man. vicious and vindictive. When he had left the camp he had threatened to have Jack’s life in re- venge. and it seemed as if he were going to carry out his murderous threat. A flash of lightning revealed him. and Jack saw that he was hatless and drenched to the skin. His coarse black hair Strung down over his leering face. Simultane- ously with this discovery the truth flashed through Jack’s mind. Max Field was the man he had rescued from the waves, and now the villain stood before him. a gleaming knife in hand, ready to take his life. The spirit of the storm seemed to swell in Jack's heart, and his whole frame shook with his gathering strength. “Stand back. Max Field,” he shouted. With a sneer. Field raised his knife, and started for the young woodsman. He had taken but a step, when a ball of fire, accompanied by a loud report, seemed to bound from the end of his knife. Jack staggered, and fell back, stunned and blinded. When he had recovered, he saw by a gleam of lightning Max Field lying upo.n the ground, dead—felled by a thunder-bolt, the hand of God. The end is soon told. The boat Jack had seen was Field's. The villain had reached the shore, laid in wait for Doris, and when she came along, he had seized her, dragged her from her pony, and tried to escape back across the lake. Thanks to the storm and the brave young woodsman, she was saved. And now as Jack’s wife, she believes that she has the bravest, noblest, and most gener- ous-hearted husband in the whole world. 170 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR XLhc Cnumpb of tbe XHmimteb JStj Xouisc Grainger, B.,09; XU., ’13 [Louise Grainger was graduated from the English School in lfHtf. and entered Boston University in Sep- tember of that year. Miss Grainger has taken high rank at Boston University, winning special honor in Eng- lish. She has made the Sigma Kappa Society.] T was the first day of May, and there upon the steps sat Reginald and Philip, dejected and forlorn, because they Sl, erc l c stigma of not lZ22ZzaSj being invited to the Graydons’ May party. A quarrel a few days be- fore had doomed them to this exclusion. They now looked longingly up the street under their big straw hats to where laughing groups of children were gathering, with the plumes of their soldier hats and the streamers of their beflowered crowns waving gracefully in the wind. The beat of a drum was heard! They turned quickly the other way. It was the arrival of the drummer boy to- gether with the queen of the May. As the party was forming in line, the wind, with a fearful gust, suddenly lifted the king’s crown high in the air. A scramble ensued, amidst laughter and shouting, and the unfortunate regal emblem, after rolling merrily down the street, was finally rescued just as it was hovering on the edge of a puddle. Order was restored, and the final touch was given as Milly Graydon brought forth from the cellar the beribboned arch to be held over the king and the queen. In an immaculate white dress the queen reclined in a festive chariot, and the king, with august mien, rode beside her on his velocipede, while David Seaton brought up the rear with a red wheel-bar- row piled high with lunch baskets and wraps. At the first beat of the drum they started slowly down the street, by the very steps on which “the uninvited” sat. It was with laughing eyes and radiant faces that their childish voices rang out in joyous song:— “Who are we! Who are we! We arc the May party, don't you see!” Wished we was asked to go,” Reginald said, remorsefully, as the gay party disappeared from view. “Huh,” answered Philip, who, although his playmate had voiced his sentiments, was too much of a “man” to appear defeated. I wouldn't go if I was asked. We can have just as much fun right here.” In their endeavor to have as much fun, sol- dier, Indian, and fire were tried during the morn- ing in order to test their respective powers in banishing the haunting thoughts of that May party. But all attempts were for the most part futile, and they welcomed gleefully the approach of the watering cart. The driver, high upon his seat, suddenly removed his foot from the lever. The two boys, emboldened by the act, advanced closer to the team—when, alas! Without a mo- ment's warning, a veritable cascade of water descended upon them, and, turning, they fled down the street. Cautiously they stole by the windows into Reginald's yard, and selected the most sunny, yet remote, spot in which to bask. Say, Philip,” exclaimed Reginald, as he lay face downward, with his heels in the air, to allow the full rays of the sun to reach his clothes in the back, Say, did you ever see a bear?” Philip, who was taking off one of his shoes to note the damage done by the water, stopped in the act as his eyes grew luminous. “No,” he said. I didn't never; what does it look like?” Well, it's big, and black, and—has fur on its head. And it eats,—it cats men,—real, live men like my father.” Philip dropped his shoe. “Does it eat cows, Reggie?” he asked, breathlessly. I don't think so, ’cause it only eats things that ain’t as big and high as itself. It would eat a man, or—a hen, or a reindeer.” “Well, a cow ain’t very big. My father’s big- ger than a cow!” “A cow's as big—as big as a kangaroo, and a bear can’t eat a kangaroo neither.” “Can he eat a crocodile?” Reginald looked confused. “I ain’t never seen a croco-crocodile,” he confessed. “Why,” explained his adversary, “it’s so big,” illustrating with the full stretch of his arms. “It lives in the water, and has funny feet. There's a picture of one in my animal book.” “Oh, I guess it can eat him—if it’s hungry. But I don’t know, maybe a bear don’t like fish that’s a crocodile.” Well, I bet it couldn't cat my father; my father’s awful big!” It could, too!” “No, sir,” Philip retorted. Yes, sir,” Reginald contradicted. Just at this crucial moment the next-door SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 171 neighbor passed by. Reginald jumped to his feet, and ran to the gate. “Mr. Arnold, couldn’t a bear eat Philip’s father?” A smile appeared on the man’s countenance, but he banished it as he saw the serious, expectant face of the child. “Sure, he could, was the convincing reply. “N—ow, Philip,” Reginald cried out, “didn’t I tell you it could!” But Philip, bending over his shoe lace, wisely made no reply. That afternoon Reginald and Philip, in freshly- laundered suits, were sitting on the stairs, each with a plate of ice cream in his lap. Between spoonfuls they uttered exclamations as to its merit, when, slowly, the May party rounded the corner. It straggled along the sidewalk with a most drooping appearance. The drummer was silent! The king, with a jam- and dirt-be- smeared face, had lost his regal air, and was wearily dragging his velocipede after him. The queen, with a crumpled dress and her crown wildly tilted over one eye, limped pathetically along on one foot. To complete the picture, David Seaton, true to his position, brought up the rear with an overturned wheel-barrow. He was minus his soldier hat. all but a few stray plumes. In this deplorable state they approached the steps, where the two boys were deep in the joys of their delectable confection. With broad smiles on their faces, Reginald and Philip stopped just long enough to wave their spoons and shout tri- umphantly: “Don’t you wish you was us! We’ve got ice cream, we have!” tErip to tbe South flbole 36 ?

ITow true this may be, however, depends on the viewpoint of the individual. To my concep- tion of life and its activities, this is absolutely false. Circumstances never hinder or enhance one iota of the inner joys of any individual being. This affirmation is the fruit of experiences gained from two contrasting, situations, namely, wealth and poverty. I was the son of a very wealthy Armenian. My father was esteemed everywhere at home—both by the Turks and the Armenians—for the simple reason that lie had climbed from the depth of poverty to the heights of riches, and from the sphere of insignificance to the acme of fame— as an honest, honorable man. and the friend of all. When T passed the stage of childhood I realized that my father’s position in society, according to our custom, was a great hindrance to my entering into the battlefield of labor, which I loved beyond human conception. I was to fill a “higher place.” I had all that the world could give. Father had earned them all. The only thing I had to do was to walk in the footsteps of my virtuous parents and keep the name of the family free from stain. Labor never tended to blot the family name. To! Not at all. but custom forbade the life of labor for an Armenian of my position. The conditions at home were changing, and the need of European diplomacy was felt strongly in the circles of our government. The patriotic zeal of Armenia called forth judicious attempts to guard our country from being swallowed up, some day. by the deceitful policy of Europe. With this in mind, my father sent me to study in the best universities in England, Germany, and France. I was very highly recommended by the English consul of Mamurct. El Azez, to many men of authority in different parts of Eng- land and Scotland. I11 London I first met General Shackelton at a banquet given in his honor a few days before starting on his trip to the South Pole. I was introduced to Mr. Shackelton. He was a de- lightful man, with many interesting stories to tell. They were so thrilling and instructive that I at once asked him to take me with him. My inter- est in travel had made a great impression upon him. After a long while urging him not to refuse my proposition, he said to me. with a smile on his face which I can still see: “My boy. I know your interest at heart. I know that your experi- 172 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ence with me will not deviate you from your pur- pose. It will broaden your vision in life by contact with people and conditions entirely unlike that of Asia Minor. On our return you will be a better servant and a better statesman of your country. Then I realized that I was not to study again until our return. Soon we were on a small ship and embarked on my unexpected journey. Peo- ple were swarming at the shore. Thousands and thousands waved their handkerchiefs to us. and on the calm surface of the ocean our ship ad- vanced forward and forward. I kept close to Mr. Shackelton. lie pointed out the places of interest and the latitudes and the longitudes. He had so much information on the subject of geography that I said to him: Mr. Shackelton. I am going to call you the walking geography hereafter. He laughed heartily. He was very kind and thoughtful. This, coupled with my interest in the new surroundings, made my journey one never to be forgotten. After we had landed on the other side, the pro- visions were transported to the storehouses by the Siberian pack mules. The climate was get- ting colder and colder as we advanced southward. One day Mr. Shackelton told me his plans, and asked if I would venture the trip with him toward the Pole. Airywhere. Mr. Shackelton. I said, ‘‘any- where with you. We felt toward each other friendship more than even long acquaintanceship could produce, and we were ready to do anything for the comfort of each other. According to his plan, with eight pack mules and two companions we started toward the Pole. Tt was cold beyond anticipation. At the end of the third day we lost two of our mules, and on the fourth day one of our companions. The rest of us kept on toward our goal. The huge icy moun- tains presented picturesque sights, which were indescribable by my youthful expressions. ()n the sixth day we had gone farther than we ex- pected. which was. no doubt, due to the common- sense judgment of my dear friend. Mr. Shackel- ton. At noon of that day we fed the animals and partook of our meal of biscuits—which were very rich in butter— and chocolates. Our companion was at a short distance from us, and something attracted my attention toward the opposite side from where he was standing. As I directed my steps toward that way. he. with a terrifying voice, shouted: ‘‘Danger! Oh. danger!” A loud crash following his voice, and a groan- ing succeeded it. While I was running to live or to die with Mr. Shackelton. I awoke and found myself in mv bed at 5 Belknap street. Dover, X. H. I was shivering from the dreadful cold. The January cold was cracking the shingles of the roof overhead, while my classmate. Philip, was groaning in his sleep in the adjacent room. While I was turning over and over in my bed to keep warm, a still, small voice” uttered these words to me:— “The bright days they are coming. Xo matter what they say.

Japan, to Mogi, a small fishing village on Shimabara Bay. On a bright May morning I stepped into one of the many 'rikishas drawn up before the hotel piazza, and with one coolie between the shafts and another pushing behind, we went slap-slap up the long hill above the city and along the macadam road. The country was verv beautiful in the clear morning light. The bamboos waved their grace- ful plumes gently to and fro, the bright-colored lantana blossomed along the roadsides, and here and there were farmers, men and women, work- ing in their gardens. The hillsides were culti- vated to their very tops, terrace above terrace. Wherever one looked were gardens of all sizes and shapes, for the Japanese farmer utilizes every available piece of ground, and plows his rows so that the growing plants make various designs. At intervals along the road were tea houses. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i 3 where we stopped to refresh ourselves with tea. delicious sponge cake, and tiny oranges, or per- haps only to study and enjoy the people. Most courteous were the little Japanese serving maids, with their multi-colored kimonos and clattering wooden shoes. Aside from the picturesque people and the at- tractive situation of the place. Mogi offers noth- ing of special interest. There was a Buddhist shrine tucked away in a grove on the edge of the bay. On the way back to Nagasaki I noticed a long, one-story building which had escaped my atten- tion coming down. From its appearance I judged it to be either barracks or a schoolhouse, and. in the absence of soldiers. I concluded it was the latter, so halted my ’rikisha men. It proved to be an elementary school. A veranda ran the entire length of the building, and from the railing of this projected a shelf, upon which, in orderly array, were the shoes of the pu- pils. left there on entering school. The first teacher I met was a man whose knowledge of English was meagre, but we. never- theless, managed to make ourselves understood. After I had visited his room of boys (the sexes arc segregated), lie took me down the corridor to see another class. My cars were alert to see if T could hear the hum of voices so wont to be heard in my own country when a teacher leaves the room. I heard nothing. Before I realized it, we were in the presence of another class of boys. The little fellows, in their kimonos, and with their shaved heads and little forelocks, were certainly an interesting lot of chil- dren. Seated at double desks, they were busy with their brushes practicing the ideographs— their writing lesson. So impressed was I with the order and quiet of the room that I complimented the teacher and. through him, the pupils. Here were sixty-six boys left alone, no teacher, no monitor, and yet so still that I didn’t detect we were approaching them. When school was dismissed, the boys on their side of the yard and the girls on their side passed out into the yard in single file, and then turned into platoon formation and stood facing their teacher like soldiers and officer at guard mount. Then teacher and pupils bowed the low bow of the Japanese, and with a “sayonara” the children passed out of the yard. ------------ Moulb H)ou ? JS ? alumnus It is not often that a fellow has a chance to make $25 by merely going to a dance, but this is the op- portunity that was recently presented to a college youth, and, strange to say, he declined, although he was no better off financially than the average college boy. This young man had his heart set on going to a certain dance at the college, but Fate had apparently determined otherwise, for although he mailed an invitation to the girl of his choice a whole month before the dance, he found to his dis- appointment that she had already accepted another invitation. Not to be deprived the pleasure of the dance, he tried another girl—and another—with exactly the same results. Even then he would not give up, and this time Dame Fortune apparently smiled on him. for the recipient of ‘’bid No. 4” was most delighted to accept, and he was happy. But. alas! on the very afternoon of the dance the girl fell suddenly ill, and so wrote him. expressing her regret at being unable to go. So the unhappy youth very wisely decided that he really didn’t care to go, anyway. After supper that night his dormitory mates, who had followed his case with brotherly interest, gathered in his room and sought to express their sympathy by many suggestions—of somewhat doubtful sincerity. There were five present, and suddenly one of their number made a very start- ling proposal, which met with immediate approval. On the bookcase stood a three-foot statuette of Venus de Milo. Bill. cried the resourceful sympathizer, ad- dressing the object of the general sympathy. “I’ll give you $5 if you’ll take Venus there to the dance and dance every dance with her. “Yes, and feed her ice cream at intermission.” chimed in the others; whereupon they, too. each offered $5 more for the same purpose, making a total purse of $25. He who had sustained so many reverses thought a minute. Then he sighed. “No, fellows, I’m not game for that,” was his sad response. Now what would you have done under those cir- cumstances? 1 4 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Intcrscholastic Triangular Debating League has proven its right to exist. Its first debates were a subject of widespread interest, and all three were well attended. From the founda- tion of the league debating interests in Somer- ville High have received great impetus. Debat- ing is enjoying more popularity in the school at present than ever before, and will undoubtedly take on new life from this time. The victory over Newton is most satisfactory. This is an excellent time to build up further in- terest in the debating societies and their work, th.c results of which will show in the years to come. With a little activity on the part of the Juniors and Sophomores now, we can be assured of the school’s success in public debates next year. V 9t The pupils of Somerville High School may well look to their teachers for example on the ques- tion of school spirit. Since the organization of the new high school there have been continued evidences of the fact that the persons most interested, most enthusi- astic about the athletic games, mass meetings, the Radiator, class organizations, and other school activities are the head master and the sixty odd teachers. But the most striking evidence of all came when the subject of the public debates came into prominence. You would never have believed had you not seen how enthusiastically Mr. Hatch, moderator of the Lincoln Debating Society, took charge of the trial debates, solicited contestants, and encouraged the whole idea. When the trials were over, the same Mr. Hatch was pushing things harder than ever. His entire week's vaca- tion was spent in coaching the teams, and his only regret seemed to be that the days and nights were not longer. His spirit proved to be contagious, for one va- cation morning found Messrs. Sprague, Tuttle, Obear, and Blodgett in the school building criti- cising the work of the debaters and offering help- ful suggestions. When school reopened, Miss Raymond, of the elocution department, had joined the band. Her great enthusiasm, tireless energy, and numberless helpful suggestions gave telling impetus to the work. The debaters are also much indebted to Miss Teele, Miss Merrill, Miss Smith, Miss Sprague, and other teachers. When the decision was announced at Moore Hall in favor of Somerville, everybody knows that the most delighted man present was Mr. Avery. And so it goes. Throughout the year we have seen Miss Merrill spending much time in the in- terest of the Radiator, and Mr. Hatch and Mr. Poor taking lively interest in all school activities. In fact, all of the teachers are giving a fine ex- ample of real school spirit. r 5 r With feelings of pleasure, the Radiator pre- sents to its readers this month a number com- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 75 posed largely of contributions from the pens of alumni.

While unable to reach many, we are sincerely grateful to those who have responded to our call. The Radiator joins with the school at large in expressing sincere sympathy to Mr. Wilkins on the recent death of his son. •f if if We arc glad to be able to say that our former assistant business manager, Walter B.

But to-night my thoughts flit backward Over the stream of life, Scanning its joys and its sorrows, Its beauties and its strife. 1 have reached the path of friendship W hich we were wont to tread; I’m walking over the ashes Of a comradeship that’s dead. I know our paths are divergent, That our lives lie far apart, But time and separation Mellows and soothes the heart. Thus can I cross the bridge, old friend, The bridge of life’s yesterday, And in my painful retrospect These words to you must say: “God bless and strengthen and keep you, May life’s battles leave ne’er a trace; And when the bridge of life is crossed, May we both meet face to face.” peace The twilight hour is approaching, The tired birds have sought their nest, I sit alone in the gloaming, Longing for peace and for rest. Peace which a soul that is troubled Needs greatly at such an hour, As the gentle rain is needed By the with’ring, sun-kissed flower. Such peace as our Father promised To those with a care-worn heart, Who, through long days of laboring, Are of rest and joy apart; Those who have toiled hard for others, Have given of themselves the best. To-night this peace I am seeking, Help me, dear Lord, in my quest. Behold! just behind yon mountain Did the sun in glory set, Assuring that on the morrow A jeweled dawn to beget. Methinks this is God’s sweet promise, To give to my heart surcease Of trouble, and care, and sorrow, And grant me His blessed peace. Cell If you have a friend who’s true (One can have but very few), And he’s proved his worth to you— Tell him so! If he’s helped to smooth your way, Made a cloud a sun’s bright ray, And caused night to turn to day— Tell him so! If your trouble he has shared, And for you has fought and dared, IHlm So While the world looked on and glared— Tell him so! If lie’s sheltered you from sin, Helped you a victory to win, And has saved you from chagrin— Tell him so! It would please him if he knew You had thought him loyal, true, He’ll believe it when just you Tell him so! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 77 Jfrom a SKstmgutsbeb Hlunmus My compliments to the Radiator! Long may it radiate! There was a little girl who loved warm weather. After a stormy week, she prayed for a pleasant day and it came. Joyous over the result of her petition, she told her mother, who said: “Why don't you pray to-night that to-morrow may be warmer, so that grandma’s rheumatism may be better?” That night the little girl prayed: “O Lord, please make it hot for grandma ! ’ I hope the Radiator may make it hot for all the boys and girls of the High School, past and present, may warm up our enthusiasm for its record, our pride in its achievements. It has made life happier, easier, better for many hundreds of us. May we not forget that thereby we have in- curred an obligation which, if we cannot repay to the school itself, we can repay to the community that has made the school, by an active interest in its common affairs, and by hearty support of everything that makes for its further development.

Graduating from the English High School in 1806 he returned in 1896-1807 for a post-graduate course, and in that year was editor-in-chief of the Radiator. While in High School he worked for the Somerville Citizen. Alter graduation he worked on the Somerville Journal. Boston Journal, and Boston Herald. He has been editor and proprietor of the Somerville Reporter since 1907.] Twenty, or even ten years ago, pupils were ex- pected to interest themselves in their regular studies, and, beyond a reasonable amount of recreation, were not allowed to devote much time to anything else, unless it was to help with work at home. But a change has come in that regard, as in so many others, and an even greater change is in prospect. Now, besides the time for recreation, there is opportunity allowed for scholars to inter- est themselves in the school paper, the school de- bating club, dramatic club, glee club or or- chestra, or other activities more or less closely related to school work. The change has not come gradually nor with- out opposition. The Radiator was the first of the previously mentioned outside interests which came into the life of scholars in the Somerville High School. Its first appearance was ahead of the times so far that it had only a brief span of life. A second start in 1895 was more in keeping with the spirit of the times, and the paper has grown and prospered. That the paper is a benefit to the school can- not and will not be questioned, for it not only is a bond of common interest, but it heightens the esprit de corps. Then for those whose good for- tune it is to be on the staff, no one should take such a position unless the work which it entails has in it an appeal. Then will come the first op- portunity to do the things which fall to the posi- tion cither of editor, reporters, or on the busi- ness end. The performance of those duties will not only give some experience, but it will enable the scholar to determine whether it is best to fol- low that line of work in after-life or to try some- thing else. It is as fair to assume that the scholars who en- roll themselves with any of the other outside activities previously mentioned do so because they arc attracted by them just as the paper work attracted those who became members of its staff. Their measure of benefit is fully as large, though not in just the same line. Those who join the debating club have addi- tional opportunity to put in practice the teach- ing of the English and elocution instruc- tors. They arc also led to take a more lively interest in the affairs of the day, for the subjects for debate arc most likely to be chosen from that field. They must, of necessity, become well informed upon any sub- ject upon which they are to speak, and, last, but by no means least, they have some practice m thinking and talking while upon their feet. The dramatic clubs help in the English and elo- cution work, while the music clubs serve mostly [Continued on p;igc 184.] 178 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Somerville ISoys at Ibarvarb J6p Hrtbur fc . 5 ogle, X., ’ll; 1b., '14 W.

On October 7, 1911, the Somerville Club of Harvard was reorganized at a meeting held in the Trophy Room of the Harvard Union. At the very outset several difficulties confronted the club. The first was the uncertainty as to what the scope of its aims and activities should be. Another was the problem of the place of meet- ing since nearly every member lived at home. The first problem has been settled by narrow- ing the aims of the club to these: To lay a secure foundation for future activities of the club by strengthening existing friendships and creating new ones; to promote good fellowship among Somerville students at Harvard; to cultivate the interests of Harvard among Somerville people, and, in general, to “boost” Harvard and Somer- ville. The second problem has been solved through the loyalty of two members living in Cambridge, J. C. Milliken and A. IT. Sanborn, each of whom generously offered the use of his room for holding meetings. The officers of the club are: Rufus S. Tucker, 1G., president; Richard W. Bennett, '13, vice- president: Arthur H. Doyle, '14, secretary; Arthur S. Hatch, ’l l, treasurer. The executive commit- tee consists of the above offices and Robert T. Davis, ’ll: John E. McCauley, '15; and Douglas M. Beers, '15. Several successful meetings have been held, at which well-known Somerville men have spoken. Refreshments and music have contributed to the thorough enjoyment of these gatherings. The club intends to get a successful start this year, and to follow this up in the near future by presenting plays and holding dances. That Somerville men are not backward in col- lege activities is shown by the fact that they are winning recognition equally in scholarship and athletics. Certainly no one is any longer deluded by the idea that Harvard is a “rich man's college.” A close acquaintance with the conditions reveals the fact that a very large proportion of the students earn their way through. Especially is this true of Somerville men. Any Somerville young man intending to go to college would do well to ponder over the advan- tages he may gain by going to Harvard. There he can get exactly what he wants, owing to the wide scope of Harvard’s curriculum, and the great diversity of her undergraduate interests and activi- ties. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i 9 Somerville (Bids at IRabcliffe By? lOavp C.

Lucie Kramer. Mary C. Smith, Bertha G. Stone, Gladys P. Weissbach. 1913— Ernestine Cohen, Nectar Eksergian, Mabel W ilber. 1914— Elsie Clifford, Marion Hale, Marie John- ston, Grace Stone, Marion Trucsdale, Mabel Waugh, Louise Whitney. 1915— Mabel Cohen, Ruth Merrill. The Somerville girls have not confined them- selves to intellectual pursuits, but have interested themselves in the social and athletic sides of col- lege life, as well. Practically all arc members of one or more of the larger organizations, such as the Idler Club, Radcliffc Guild, Choral Society, and Athletic Association, and some belong, also, to the smaller clubs. Of the Seniors, Marion Fay has specialized in history, and is now president of the History Club. Bertha Stone has made great progress in the fine arts, and is a member of the Art Club. Cecilc Giroux has made Latin her forte, and belongs to the Classical. French, and Catholic Clubs. The German Club includes Julia Freedman in its mem- bership. Gladys Weissbach is chairman of both the room committee of the guild and the class photograph committee. Lucie Kramer is a mem- ber of the Mandolin Club, and also of the class basket ball team. Ethel Schoonmaker, for two years a student at Somerville Latin School, is now a Radcliffc Senior, and secretary of the Classical Club. Mary C. Smith is vice-president of her class, and holds the same office in the Catholic Club. She is also a member of the Classical Club and the ’varsity hockey team. Somerville has two songstresses at Radcliffc, Mabel Wilber. 1913, and Marie Johnston, 1911, who belong to the Glee Club. It was cause for regret that our pianist, Hazel Cushing. 1913, who was also a classical student of ability, had to dis- continue her college studies this year because of ill health. Marion Hale, who traveled abroad after leaving the Latin School, is now a member of the Sopho- more class, and belongs to the German Club. Marion Trucsdale. also a Sophomore, is a “sub ’ on the ’varsity hockey team. It is hoped that Somerville will continue to send girls to Radcliffe, and that the number next year will exceed that in the present Freshman class. They will find there, as their predecessors have done, an opportunity to combine earnest work with enjoyable and healthful recreation. Somerville 3So£S at Dartmouth J6 ? Udalter lx IKlolan, X., '09; Bartmoutb, T3 [Mr. Nolan was born in Somerville, and attended the Morse grammar school. While at the Latin High he played two seasons each on the baseball and football teams. He has also played baseball at Dartmouth.) Dartmouth College opened for the year of 3911 -'12 with eleven Somerville High School graduates included in her enrollment, which is the largest Somerville representation Dartmouth has had for many years. Nine of the men. Williams, Sullivan, Martin, Donahue, Barker, Milmore, Turner, Tomfohrde, and Harlow, are members of the class of 1915, while the other two. Rice and Nolan, are members of the class of 1913. Milmore played centre on the Freshman football team, and easily held his own on one of the best Freshman teams Dartmouth has ever had. Barker tried out for the team, and performed very credit- ably in several games. Both Donahue and Williams took part in the fall baseball series played between the Freshman and Sophomore classes, and it is expected that they will make strong bids for positions on the Freshman baseball team this spring. Williams is a member of the college choir, while Donahue put up a great game at goal on his class hockey team. Sullivan is devoting his time to debating, and is a likely candidate for the college debating team. Martin played guard on his class basket ball team, which has just closed a very successful season. Nolan is a member of the ’varsity baseball squad. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i So Somerville at {Tufts Tufts continues to be a favorite Alma Mater for Somerville boys, and the number of Somerville High School graduates at the Medford institution has been steadily increasing from year to year. At present there are forty-five Somerville boys in ‘‘the College on the Hill. exclusive of the Medical and Dental Schools, an increase of twelve over last year. The rapid increase in the last few years is due in large measure to the activity of the Tufts-Som- erville Club, which was founded in 1910 bv Minot J. Brown. Tufts. '11, Somerville Latin. '07. This organization is but one of eleven sectional clubs now existing at Tufts. The eleven sectional clubs have formed a Federation of Sectional Clubs, the objects of which are threefold,—to cultivate a closer bond of good fellowship among the indi- vidual club members: to bring men to Tufts from the various sections represented: and to awaken an interest in Tufts in sections of the country where it is little known. The Tufts-Somervillc Club is not the first sectional club founded at Tufts, but it is the largest, and. from the report of the prime' mover in the forming of the sectional club movement at the forming of the federation, it “is the most active and has done the most efficient work in the three fields outlined above. The organization of the Tufts-Somerville Club for the current year is: President, Ralph A. At- water. English. '09. Tufts. T3: treasurer. Allen G. Hooper, Latin. 'OS. Tufts, T2: recording secre- tary. Alfred Y. Hayward. English. TO, Tufts, T4; corresponding secretary. Francis A. Maulsbv, Latin. TO. Tufts. T4. The club is planning to repeat last year’s suc- cessful reception and smoker to Seniors and Juniors of Somerville High in the near future. The position of Somerville boys at Tufts was never stronger than it is this year. We have two ’varsity captains, the college record-holder in three track events, and two assistant managers in ath- letics. Scholastic honors also still have a habit of coming our way. Last June, for instance. Minot J. Brown represented the A. B. department of the graduating class on the Commencement platform, and was one of the only two men elected to Phi Beta Kappa: this fall William S. Maulsbv was awarded the prize scholarship of the class of ’98, annually given “that senior who has maintained the highest excellence in a broad course of study wisely chosen. Maulsbv, too, is in line for Phi Beta Kappa. Among other college honors, we have members in Tower Cross. Ivy, and Sword and Shield, the honorary senior, junior, and sopho- more societies, respectively, president of the Pub- lishing Association, chairman and two other mem- bers cap and gown committee, and officers in every class in college.

Xewton, and Somerville High Schools, were held on the evening of Friday, March 8. There were three debates, one in each of the municipalities mentioned, each school be- ing represented by two teams of three speakers each. In each case the negative speakers de- bated at home, while the affirmative visited. The subject was: “Resolved, that it is impossible to establish a method of arbitration by which inter- national war shall be abolished. The debate at Somerville was held in Moore hall, Y. M. C. A. building. Somerville, upholding the negative, was given the unanimous decision of the judges. The members of the negative team and the order of their speeches were: David M.Lip- shires, T3; J. William Parks, T2; and Francis J. Mahoney, 12. The Xewton speakers were: Louis H. Bell, T2; Charles E. Lyons, T2; and John R. Marsh, T2. Messrs. Bell and Mahoney spoke in rebuttal. Mayor Burns, of Somerville, pre- sided. The arguments presented by Somerville were convincing and replete with reasons as to why arbitration may ultimately prevent all interna- tional wars. The delivery was of a high type, marked with timely and graceful gestures, un- stilted and forceful. The judges were: Ward F. Porter, of Boston; Dean William M. Warren, of Boston University; and William I). Parkinson, superintendent of the Waltham schools. During the evening the Xewton High School orchestra furnished music of a highly creditable character. About 600 persons were present, including several hundred pupils of the Somerville and Xew- ton High schools and a large number of the teachers. In Brookline High School Hall the Somerville debaters upholding were defeated by Brookline.. Though Brookline was victorious, the Somerville boys made a showing of which the school may well be proud. John E. Laverty. '12, Eric A. Johnson, '13. and Clinton W. Carvell, ’14. represented Somerville High. Robert G. Paine, '13. Thomas D. Derr, ‘13. and J. Freeman Swett. ‘13. argued for Brook- line.

The change which is to come has appeared in but few places as yet. and Somerville is not one of them. It is simply to give credit for outside work to a pupil in whatever subject the work may be done. Music is the subject which has been most credited by outside work, but there is no reason to doubt but that the same theory which brought that condition about will, in time, comprehend other subjects. There is no reason why such should not be the case, and why the work of those on the school paper should not count as part of their work in English or com- mercial branches; why the members of the dra- matic club and the debating club should not be treated in the same way in English and elocution, and the members of the orchestra, glee club, or mandolin club should not have their efforts in that direction taken into consideration with their musical work, which unfortunately is not yet a marked subject. Of course there is something to be said against carrying into effect the idea of giving credit for outside work, but it is all along the line of argu- ment against the broadening of the educational 5. 0. 1D.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THLETK3S Hrlington IHtgb, 3; Somerville ftUflb, i A t the Boston Arena on February 5, Arlington High's crack hockey team secured its second vic- tory over Somerville High, after forty minutes of the most brilliant schoolboy hockey displayed this winter. The playing was fast and furious, and when the bell clanged at 3 o’clock, Arlington, through the work of Lowe and Ross, had scored three times to a single tally for Somerville, made bv Carl Holmes in the first period. Both teams were keyed up to the highest pitch for the contest, and not for a minute was the game devoid of thrills. There was very little difference between the two sevens—Arlington as a team was by no means two points better than Somerville— but the star work of individuals on the Spy Pond aggregation was responsible for their win. The team work of the Red and Blue was far superior to that of Arlington, and the heavy defence of the latter team was forced to exert itself to the utmost. The passing game employed by the Red and Blue forwards was of high order, and but for Buttrick's expert goal-tending, would have secured a number of tallies for the losing seven. Somerville presented some changes in the line-up. Whittaker, Robertson, and Townsend were in the forward line, as before, and all three showed up well, while Carl Holmes' position was filled by Masked, who played a remarkable game. Holmes was put in at cover-point, and played the best game for the Red and Blue. His defensive work was excellent, and his dribbling of a high order. Holmes made the only goal for Somer- ville. and his classy work in Garland's place was enough to make him a sure fixture at cover-point. Cosgrove played his usual good game at point, but in the last few minutes of play sustained an injury to his hand, being hit by the puck when shot from some one’s stick. He was able to finish out the game, but it was the last contest in which he par- ticipated. Harold George, at goal, played his best game of the season, making some wonderful stops. Twice Lowe dribbled the puck clear down the ice, only to dash it against George’s shin-guards. Again and again George blocked shots coming from all directions, and his work was all that kept down the score. Altogether he made no less than fifteen stops, nearly all being difficult. For Arlington, George Lowe was the individual star, and was ably assisted by Ross, Percy, and Buttrick. Buttrick made a number of difficult stops. Somerville scored within the first ten minutes of play, when Holmes intercepted a pass near his own goal and dashed up the ice. Evading all efforts of the Arlington forwards, he swept past Cousens and Lowe, and shot the rubber into the cage amid the shouts of the Somerville rooters. Their jov was short-lived, for five minutes later Ross tied the score with a pretty shot past George. A few minutes after he repeated his first success with another tally, which put the Spy Pond boys in the lead. The second half started in with speedy playing by both sevens,, but neither side scored for twelve minutes, when Lowe took the puck from behind his own goal, carried it through the entire Som- erville team, and sent it hurtling into the net for the final tally of the game.

February 7. the Som- erville squad journeyed out to Southboro, and took one from St. Mark’s by the score of 5 to 1. The Somerville team displayed ■much better form in all departments of the game, as the private school boys were unable to advance the puck with any degree of speed, while the visi- tors forced the fighting from start to finish, keep- ing up a continual assault on the St. Mark’s goal. Whittaker and Townsend were the star men for Somerville, Townsend scoring three of the goals and Whittaker playing a speedy game throughout. The St. Mark defence was excellent. Kent, at point, being prominent. His size was of immense help to him in breaking up the attacks of the Som- erville forwards. During the first half the wearers of the Red and Blue were able to tally but once, although the playing was centred at the St. Mark’s goal. In the second period, however, by fast playing, four tallies were secured by Somerville to one for the private school, and the team work of the winners figured prominently in the scoring.

The local seven showed little knowledge of the game, and were kept on the defensive during the whole game. Somerville kept up a steady bombardment on the Dorchester goal, and succeeded in scoring ten times, and also a few times more which were not •allowed.

This victory left Somerville in third position in the league race, and gave Rindge undisputed claim to the cellar position. A fairly good crowd turned out. and the Som- erville rooters managed to get off a few good cheers. Cosgrove, Garland, George, and Town- send were out of the line-up, but their positions were very acceptably filled by the men who took their places. Bob Richards put up a good game at the net, making several hard stops. Holden, who has worked hard all the season, got his chance at last, and played a very effective game at point. Crispin, second-team captain, started in Townsend’s position at forward, and showed that he will undoubtedly make a strong man for next year’s seven. Walter Whittaker, however, was the star, and livened up an otherwise dull game by a wonderful exhibition of dribbling and skating. He scored four of Somerville’s goals. The other tally was made by Jim Robertson, whose shooting has be- come famous this season. Masked teamed well with Whittaker, and showed some nice dribbling and passing. This boy, although rather light, is not afraid to mix it up with his heavier opponents, and usually comes out of the melee with the puck in his possession. None of the Rindge men shone at all brilliantly, but at the goal White played well, and Buckley played a hard offensive game at cover. The sum- mary :— SOMERVILLE. RINDGE.

Bwarfc of t ocfte “ 5’s ” At a meeting of the executive committee of the Athletic Association on March 8. the following men were awarded the hockey S” and sweater: Captain Whittaker, Manager Bourne, Robertson, Holmes, Maskell, George, Cosgrove, Holden, and Richards. This action of the committee adds five new names to the list of “S’ men now in the school, as Robertson, Maskell, Holden, Bourne, and Richards have not won a letter previously. The only other action taken by the committee was the election of Ray Tift as coach of the base- ball nine for the next three months. Every one remembers Tift’s success with last year’s team, and we hope that this spring he may coach an ag- gregation which will defeat every aspirant to the championship honors of Greater Boston. Cosorove JElcctcfc Ibockey Captain On Tuesday afternoon. March 12, the hockey S” men met and elected Chauncey Cosgrove captain of next winter’s seven. Cosgrove is a member of the Junior class, and has played on Somerville High for two years, being one of the best defensive players on any Greater Boston hockey team. The prospects for a good hockey team next year arc exceptionally favorable. Although the graduation of Whittaker, Holmes, Holden, George, and Richards will leave several gaps. Cap- tain Cosgrove should have no trouble in finding a number of good men for these places. Gbe IbocfceE Season Winding up with a 5 to 2 victory over Rindgc at the Arena on February 28, the Somerville High hockey team of 1912 ended its season’s schedule. It was in many ways the most successful winter for hockey that Somerville has experienced in sev- eral years. The team was regarded as one of the strongest sevens in Greater Boston, being defeated by only three schools, each of them crack aggre- gations, namely, Arlington, Melrose, and Newton. Because Somerville lost two games to the first and second of the above-mentioned, schools, and in every case lost at the Arena with a large crowd of Somerville rooters on hand, some may think that the team was not as good as is claimed. How- ever, a glance at the season’s record shows that Somerville has defeated eight schools and lost to three, which is a very creditable showing. Two games were won from Boston College High School, and two games lost to both Melrose and Arlington, making the total record nine victories and five defeats. The record would doubtless have been better if more games had been played, for out of twenty-eight scheduled games fourteen contests were canceled, owing to unfavorable ice conditions. The percentage of Somerville High was .(543. Coming to the work of individuals on the seven, the great playing of Captain Walter Whittaker at rover was conspicuous above that of his team- mates. His dribbling ability and stick work were superb, and his power of leadership was one of the greatest factors in the success of the team. Every paper picked Whittaker on its all-scholastic team, and no schoolboy player deserved the honor more than he. Robertson, at right wing, was a tower of strength, and with Maskell and Townsend com- pleting the forward line, Somerville presented a speedy quartette of puck chasers. The defence was excellent. Holmes and Garland at cover-point, Chauncey Cosgrove at point, and 1 larold George at goal being a strong combination. Of the sub- stitutes, the work of Crispin in the attacking line and Holden at point was of high order. Tom West, Ted Baker, Morrell, and Hunnewell also- deserve commendation for their persistent efforts. The Athletic Association has supported the team- very heartily, displaying generosity in its appro- priations for supplies, and also furnishing a large board rink on Tufts College property. The school, too, gave loyal support, as evi- denced at the games in the Boston Arena. The squad had no difficulty in disposing of every ticket to every game, owing to the demand of the fans who desired to watch the seven play. Surely, hockey is a coming sport. Next winter, with Robertson, Cosgrove. Maskell, Townsend, and Garland back in the game, Somerville will have a fast team. Here’s luck to the seven of 1913! 194 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR HOCKEY FIGURES.

HE senior member of the firm of Goodwin Winthrop, contractors and builders, regarded his partner with a worried frown. The past two months had seen many of those frowns, and the lines between his eyes were fast deepening. The younger man spoke slowly. Then the case is clear. Unless we can secure $10,000 cash within a week, we shall fdc a petition of bank- ruptcy.” Yes,” answered. Goodwin wearily, that’s the only thing we can do. For the last six weeks I've been borrowing from every possible source, but the new block on -------th street has finished us. But if we only had $10,000,—or I might say even $8,000,—we could make this new contract pay. But there isn't any way we can get it.” If we hadn’t borrowed that $5,000 from Uncle Peter last fall.” returned Winthrop despondently, I'd ask him now. But. as it is. I can’t do it.” Goodwin nodded. “Then in a week,—let me see, this is the twelfth,—on the nineteenth we’ll file a petition of bankruptcy, provided that in the meantime we are unable to raise $10,000.” Winthrop rose, gathered up his papers, and prepared to leave the office. Then, as an after- thought. he turned to his partner. “Have you tried Colonel Wheeler?” he asked. “No, I haven’t,” responded Goodwin. “We owe him $3,000 now. But I'll take the sugges- tion. He can do no more than refuse us.” The two men parted, Winthrop to go to his home in the suburbs, and Goodwin to his bachelor apartments in the residential section of the city. Winthrop perused his paper with unseeing eyes as the train sped on towards his station. So pre- occupied was he during dinner that when his wife asked him to pass the bread, he absently handed her the salt-cellar. He attempted to pass off his mistake as a joke, but his wife saw the worried look in his eyes. What’s troubling you, Carl?” she asked. Winthrop laughed apologetically. “Oh, nothing much. Some affairs at the office are in a beastly mess, but they’ll turn out all right. Don't think any more about it, Edith.” Edith looked sharply at her husband, but pressed the question no further. Winthrop was Pearson, i2 not accustomed to honor his wife with official confidences. Seated in his den behind locked doors, Win- throp figured far into the night, but bv no process could he reduce the size of that enormous deficit which stared him in the face. When finally he turned off the lights and went to his room, the ■town clock was chiming two. Arriving in the city next morning, Winthrop found that the like efforts of Goodwin had also been of no avail, and the office boy confided to the stenographer that he guessed the old man would make it hot in there if they didn’t hustle.” That long day and then the next at last drew to a close. Sunday brought no respite to the worrying partners. Winthrop spent the day at Goodwin’s apartments, and together they viewed the situation from every side—seemingly in vain. What did Colonel Wheeler say to our propo- sition? asked Winthrop, as he rose to leave. He said it was impossible, that he already held our note for $3,000, and that he could not see his way clear to increase it. I heard, though, that his nephew has just become connected with the X. Y. Z. Contracting Company, and that seems to account for his refusal to help us out.” “Three more days and then we go to the wall,” mused Winthrop on his way home. “If only we hadn't borrowed that $5,000 from Uncle Peter.” Monday seemed of interminable length to Win- throp. When lie had finally dragged himself to the train and home, he felt a dull sense of pleasure in the note which he found telling him that his wife had suddenly been called away by the illness of her mother. It will save answering ques- tions,” he thought. He made a pretense of eating some of the lunch which his wife had left on the table, but soon re- tired to his den, and threw himself into the depths of a huge leather chair. When, fifteen minutes later, the bell rang, Winthrop’s first impulse in the flood of irritation which filled him at the sound was to ignore the visitor. However, real- izing that, as he had neglected to pull down the shades, he must have been clearly visible to one coming up the walk, lie rose wearily and made his way to the door. The man standing outside unceremoniously pushed his way within, and, pulling off his coat. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR placed it with liis hat on a chair. Then he turned and faced the astonished Winthrop. “Well, Carl! “Uncle Peter! When did you come?” Just got in. Came right out here.” The two men entered the den. “How’s every one in San Francisco, Uncle Peter?” asked Win- throp. handing his uncle a cigar. “Your aunt and cousin are well. answered the elder man. And yourself? queried Winthrop. “I am as well as I shall ever be,” responded his uncle. Then, looking fixedly at his nephew, “You are in trouble.” Winthrop started in surprise. “I)o I show it as plainly as that?” “I had a premonition that you were,” continued Uncle Peter, as though Winthrop had not spoken, “and that’s why I came. Tell me about it.” “And suppose your premonition had been wrong?” said Winthrop, a little amused. “It’s a long way from ’Frisco to New York.” His uncle merely smiled. “Come, I want to hear your story, he commanded. Well, I’ll confess it. Goodwin Winthrop Company are in a mess. Thursday we arc going to file a petition of bankruptcy. That’s all, Win- throp concluded lamely. “Mm—bow'd it happen?” “Why, it's been gradual. We’ve been losing money for eight or nine months. Rut the last block we put up brought the situation to an issue. And now it’s $10,000 or bankruptcy.” “I see. And why didn’t you come to me?” Uncle Peter regarded Carl from under his shaggy eyebrows. “Oh, I couldn’t. Uncle Peter. We owe you $5,000 now,” Winthrop explained. His uncle placed his half-smoked cigar in a tray near by, and reaching into a capacious pocket, drew out a well-filled pocket-book. “I anticipated something like this,” he re- marked, so I came prepared. How much did you say? Ten thousand? Oh, a mere bagatelle.” But, uncle, I can’t let-” “Now, Carl, this is the last thing I’ll ever do for you, so let me have my way. You’ll never sec your uncle again, boy,” he added, as he opened his pocket-book. “Nonsense, uncle, you’re as well to-day as you ever were. But, really----” One hundred, five hundred, one thousand,” 20 counted the man, “fifteen hundred, two thou- sand-----” What in the world------” “I told you 1 came prepared,” chuckled Uncle Peter, “only 1 expected you would want more. Thirty-five hundred,—you’ll come out all right.— five thousand, fifty-five hundred,—Goodwin will be surprised,—seventy-five hundred, eighty-five hun- dred. ninety-five, ten thousand. There you arc, my boy,” and he handed the roll of bills to Carl. Uncle Peter!” cried Carl, seizing his uncle’s hand, I can’t begin to thank you-----” Don’t try to.” advised his uncle. “Just get me my coat and hat, for I’m in a hurry.” “In a hurry! Nonsense! You’re not going to leave here to-night,” demurred Winthrop. 1 must, returned his uncle, “I’ve another en- gagement.” “But wait until I give you some security----” “I want no security, Carl. Only promise me that on no condition will you tell any one where you got this money.” Well,” agreed Winthrop slowly, I’ll promise. But there ought to be some agreement.” I won’t need any.” answered Uncle Peter, a little sadly, Carl thought. “Well, good night, boy. and good-bye.” “Oh, Uncle Peter, don’t be so solemn. You’re saying good-bye as though you were about to lyave this world. “Yes, Carl, I know. Good night!” and the man opened the door. “Good night, uncle,” called Winthrop, as his uncle went down the walk. All traces of his recent anxiety were gone when Winthrop returned to the den. “By Jove! I believe I’m hungry,” lie told himself gleefully, and he was soon making inroads upon his barely- tasted lunch. If this isn’t great! he thought, as lie prepared to retire. Won’t Goodwin go crazy! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday before the fatal mo- ment was to come, and I already have the money. Hurrah!” he shouted, and made a dive under the bed clothes. It’s only the sixteenth, and I have the money,” lie was murmuring as lie dropped off to sleep. Tuesday was a day of rejoicing in the offices of Goodwin Winthrop, Contractors and Builders. I he new contract was duly signed, and matters began once more to adjust themselves to their old routine. (Continued on page 208.] 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THow Earneb Ibis IFlame By iRowarfc ID. Shatter, T2 NTONIO GRENPELLI was an Italian boy. His father had gone to work as an electrician in a small town in western Massachusetts, and later had sent for his wife and boy. Antonio was eighteen years of age, and although he was very small for his age, weighing only one hundred and twenty-five pounds, he was a strong and wiry lad. He soon became well acquainted with the boys in the vil- lage, but in the sports he was badly handicapped by his size. Although he was older than many, they were all larger and stronger. However, Antonio was soon friendly with all of them except one named Edward Haskins, who was called “Brains” on account of his dullness in school. He did not actually dislike Antonio, but he did like to make fun of him by calling him “Shrimp,” “Warp,” and other such allusions to his size and nationality. “Brains” did not worry Antonio as much as did the fact that the boys would call him no name except “Shrimp.” All the boys had nicknames, such as “Fat,” “Carrots,” “Buttons,” but none was so insulting as “Shrimp,” in Antonio's esti- mation. This worried Antonio, because, although he was their superior in school, they did not con- sider him their equal outside of school. One day, however, when they were talking about the strength of different persons, Antonio said: “Strength depends sometimes upon thought —nerve—not mere muscle. A person in time of need can do anything that his mental self wills him to do, but which would be impossible for his physical self to do in ordinary circumstances.” The boys laughed, and “Brains” said: Well, I suppose you could make me apologize to you if you wanted me to.” “Well, take it from muh, you big stiff, you will do it,” retorted Antonio. This conversation took place early in the spring. Several weeks later the boys went on a fishing trip, Antonio accompanying them. They camped near a small stream, which emptied into a lake, and for several days they were content to fish for perch and pickerel in the lake. But one day they decided to travel up the stream to try for trout. “Brains,” “Fat,” “Buttons,” and Antonio went on one side of the stream, while the other boys went on the other. They strolled along until they finally reached a sharp bend. Here every one, with the exception of “Brains,” had good luck. “Brains” at last became disgusted, and said: “I am going to try further up, near the old maple.” The old maple was the best fishing place for miles around, but the quicksand near it made it extremely hazardous for trout fishing. Well, look out for the quicksand near the old maple,” cautioned Antonio. “Brains” laughed, and snceringly replied: £Tm no kid, ‘Shrimp but if I do fall in you can pull me out, can't you?” After administering this re- buke, “Brains” started to wade up the stream, casting now and then, until he finally came up to the old maple. He decided to stop there and try his luck. lie cast his fly toward the opposite shore, and a large trout was seen to strike the fly. “I got cher, my beauty!” hastily exclaimed the boy, for the trout was indeed a large and gamey fish. “I’ll show that ‘Warp’ some fishing.” Fie waded out into the stream, and endeavored to place his landing net under the trout. At this instant he felt his legs seized in an iron grasp, and as he was about five feet from the bank, he had no means of saving himself He tried to back out, but could not move. Then it dawned on him,—lie was fast in the terrible quicksand, the quicksand that had never given up its victim! His heart sank, but in a flash his thoughts centred on Tony’s memorable conversation. “He'll do it, even if no one else can,” he murmured, then he screeched: “Tony! the quicksand!” The boys v ere quietly fishing when this cry sounded in their ears. Antonio at once ex- claimed : “That big ‘boob’ is stuck in the quick- sand! If we don't pull him out mighty quick he’ll die!” The boys started on a run, and, strange to say, Antonio easily outdistanced them. “Brains” was slowly sinking in the quicksand, which by this time had reached his knees. “Tony, it’s got me if you don’t pull me out quick!” he screamed. Antonio had no rope, and he had left his fishing rod behind, but he sprang quickly up the old maple, whose branches hung out about four feet above “Brains,” and crawled out on a branch until SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 203 he was directly over the doomed boy. Then he let himself down, holding to the branch with his hands, until he was near enough for ‘‘Brains” to grasp his feet. “Grab my legs and pull yourself out! Go easily or you will pull me off!” “Brains” assented, and while the other boys, who had run up in the meantime, stood staring at Antonio in wonder, “Brains” slowly drew himself out of the qiucksand up the human rope. Although it lasted only a few minutes, it seemed a lifetime to the waiting boys on the bank. At last “Brains” was clear of the sand, and he slowly climbed up over Antonio- to the' branch.- Then Antonio and “Brains” crept along the branch, and down the tree to the ground. They then fell to the ground, thoroughly exhausted. By the- aid of the boys, both returned home. The next afternoon the boys were sitting in a field discussing the remarkable strength of An- tonio. “Brains” was sitting near by. but added nothing to the conversation. Later, when An- tonio appeared, strolling across lots to the field, “Brains” arose and went to meet him. When they rejoined the boys “Brains’” hand was tightly clasped in Antonio’s, and his eyes, the fearless eyes of an American country lad, were dimmed with tears. “Fellers!” he exclaimed, “never again judge a man by his size or appear- ance. A heart of gold or a will of iron sometimes lies within the .meanest exterior or the smallest stature.” Then, turning to Tony, he sputtered: “Tony, we—are—going—to—be—friends. Xicht VVahr.” TLhc Survival of tbe Jfittcst XU. Bouglas Fleming, ’13 “Look!” cried Mayor Stone, of Detroit, point- ing toward the horizon. The few people crouched about him. Far out over the lake a fleet of red airships were circling. “Professor Darford’s prophecy has come true. It is the fifteenth of the month. The apes arc here. It is the end of the world!” cried some one. Professor Darford had proved without doubt that man had originated from apes, lie also held firm belief that the apes would soon take the place of man. The professor had made a tour of the world, lecturing on his pet hobby, the apes. He had ended his trip in Detroit. He ended his lec- ture by a prophecy which was as follows:— “Within six months the nation of apes which has been formed in Africa will leave their city in their fleet of red airships. With their latest inventions, which consist of electric rays powerful enough to blind a man, and explosives which will not only deafen but kill a man, they will destroy every being on the earth, with the exception of one man and one woman. For many years their scouts have been traveling over the earth looking for the man and woman who are the fittest to survive. These two have been found, I believe, in this city of De- troit. From my observation I have deducted that Detroit will be the last city to be destroyed. On the fifteenth of the sixth month of 2505 the air- ships will appear above this city. My advice is to prepare to die.” 'Although the majority of the people laughed at this prophecy, as the fifteenth drew near many pre- pared their ships for flight. For days the wireless was kept busy calling the largest cities of the world, but no response came. A few people com- ing from the coast reported that they had seen red ships hovering over their respective cities, and im- mediately an electric storm had taken place, which doubtless had cut off communication. At these reports the people of Detroit became more alarmed. Most of them fled in their ships toward the north. But if the world was to be de- stroyed. why was flight necessary? Thus reasoned the few that stood with the mayor. These few people were all that were visible in the vast city. As the great ships swept nearer, the few became more terrified. Gladys Hopkins, to whom the mayor was to be married in a few days, fainted. Standing with her in his arms. Mayor Stone defied the enemy. From a flagship a signal was flashed. Immedi- ately a great flash of light illuminated the city, and giant explosions rent the air. This first attack rendered the people blind and deaf. They ran 204 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR aimlessly about, some crying, the majority cursing the world, apes, and everything in general. The airships remained still for a few minutes, as if en- joying the havoc they had wrought. Then they lei loose their latest invention, a small electric bomb. As it fell the ships rose high in the air, as if they feared the result of the explosion. '1 lie ex- plosion of the bomb completed the devastation of the city. Every building in the city fell. The streets were full of debris and bodies. After circling around the city a few times, one of the giant ships swooped to the earth. A large ape, dressed like a commander, jumped out and hastened toward the spot where the mayor and his sweetheart lay. He carried them back to the ship, which at once soared toward the clouds. The man and woman were placed at once in a room, where they were attended by an ape who was a doctor of no mean skill. After a few shocks from a powerful machine, the patients began to show signs of life. Although they were alive, they did not regain consciousness. After traveling four hours, the ship came to rest on the bank of a large river. The man and woman were carried forth and left near the bank. The airship arose and disappeared behind the distant mountains. A few hours later the man sat up. lie jumped to his feet, crying: “Where am I? Where arc the red ships?” As soon as he saw the woman lie dropped down beside her. “Are you alive, Gladys? Open your eyes, dear. While he was raving like a mad man. she opened her lovely eyes. “Fred! Fred! Where arc we? I do not know, dear. “Where are the airships? Why are we not in Detroit? ‘T cannot answer you, love.” What is that suspended around your neck, bred? She reached over and pulled a letter from the string around his neck. Together they opened and read the letter, which made the whole situation clear to them :— Mr. Stone and Miss Hopkins: You will re- member that in the city of Detroit I ended my lec- ture by a few remarks concerning the nation of apes whom I thought would destroy the world. I also made some remarks concerning the survival of the fittest. All this has come to pass. There is no city in the world which is not a mass of ruins. There are no people but yourselves. To you is given the privilege of starting the world again or letting it die with you. You were, in the mind of the apes, the fittest to remain alive. I myself have been appointed ruler of this vast nation of apes. I therefore can promise that you will not be molested from that quarter. Hoping you will feel no ill efYects from the ad- venture, 1 am, “John Darford.” After reading the letter, the two sat gazing at each other in mute astonishment. She fell into his arms, laughing and crying at the same time, and between the sobs she was trying to speak. “What is it. darling?” Fred, dear. she said hysterically, “just think, we are Adam and Eve reincarnated!” (Finis.) tLbc Setter Ma? !J6y Glafcps J£. Zccic, ’12 HEY richly deserve the very worst punishment, and I for one hope they will receive it.” Edith threw down her book and looked at the speaker. A sad ex- pression stole over her face, and the usually dancing eyes filled with tears. “Flor- ence, she said gently, “you cannot mean that, I am sure. Think of what a disgrace it would mean and how their parents would feel.” “Well, I can’t help it. If it were I, they would expel me. Just because they have more money than the rest of us, I don’t think they need be pardoned for everything. Of course you would forgive them and let it drop, but I say that’s not fair to us. “Why, think of it, Edith, they broke ever so many rules! They went to the city alone, with- out permission, returning home at half-past eleven o’clock. You know what that means.” “No, I would not forgive them, for the girls did do wrong, but would it not be the better way to show them we are sorry and help them to do different next time?” Florence was silent, for she knew Edjth was right, but she had determined not to give in, so SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 205 after a few moments’ hesitation, she said: “After the way they have treated you, Edith Brown, I should not think you would stand up for them!” Edith turned away quickly, that her friend might not see her face, and Florence, knowing that she had touched a deep wound in Edith’s heart, said no more, but, picking up her book, studied until the supper bell rang. Edith was ready before Florence, so she walked down the corridor, but suddenly turned back, waited for Florence, and the two roommates walked arm in arm into the dining-room, appa- rently the good chums they had always been. The girls were gathered in little groups about the large rendezvous, talking excitedly about the events of last Thursday’s affair. ‘T think we’ll know to-day what is to. be done about the affair, for Miss Phillips was here this morning,” said one of the girls. “Oh, look, girls, here come Ethel and Mildred. They look rather less proud, don’t they?” The two girls, subjects of all this excitement, went to the farthest corner of the room and sat down. Soon after Edith Brown slipped quietly into the room, and with a friendly smile to the girls, took her place nearly opposite them. At Edith’s appearance the little groups scattered and the loud talking ceased. Just before the bell rang Miss Philips entered the room. She conducted the usual devotional exercises. Then in the simple heart-to-heart talk that followed, she told the girls that she was sorry ----------- to see and hear of the feeling that existed in the school toward the two girls who had done wrong. “Remember, girls,” she said, “we all make mis- takes, and therefore should stand ready to help others when they do wrong. The faculty has for- given the girls, and now they come to ask your pardon for lowering the standard of the school. Xo other punishment will be required. They have already suffered enough. Will you forgive them and take them back into your friendship and confidence?” A deep silence followed, as first Edith, then Mildred, in a few words, asked the pardon of the girls for the wrong done them. It was a subdued group of girls that slowly filed out of that room and went at once to their re- spective rooms, for Miss Philips’ talk had had its results. Edith heard a gentle knock at her door, and before she could answer a tall, slight girl had clasped her arms about Edith’s neck and sobbed: Edith, will you forgive me, not only for this wrong done to the school, but for the way I have treated you? Never once have you treated me other than a friend, and your unspoken sympathy helped me to stand before all of those girls—once my friends—and say. T am sorry.’ Edith,” said she, with a sweet, far-away look in her eyes, “you make me think of mother. She, too, would have chosen 'the better way.’ ” ♦-«----------- IRecompense Gwenbolgn 11 1. IHclson, T2 URRY, Tim, or you’ll be late!” was the parting injunction of Mrs. Wil- kins, as she tried to hasten her son’s straggling steps towards the school- house two miles distant. “I don’t care if I am,” he retorted, as he was almost out of sight. Tim took his time, despite the distance he had to cover and the short time in which to cover it. He stopped and chatted with every farmer he met. and when he finally came in sight of the schoolhousc the chil- dren had gone inside, and there was no sign of life except a cloud of smoke coming from the stovepipe. Tim softly entered the dressing-room, and was just rfbout to hang up his coat, when his eyes rested on the coat next to him. It was Bob Esterbrook’s coat, and from one of its pockets hung Bob’s knife suspended by a chain. Tim went closer and examined the knife—yes, it was just the kind he had always wanted. What a beautiful handle it had! What lovely blades! Yes, it was the one thing he envied most. He turned away and hung up his coat and laid aside his lunch box. A thought struck him.—what a good chance to make that knife his own! No one would know, and the precious knife he had so long desired would be his. He reached to un- fasten the chain from Bob’s button-hole, hesi- tated. thought better of it, but finally, overcome by the temptation, he hastily concealed the knife in his bosom. Then lie opened the schoolroom door and somewhat guiltily took his seat. Everything went on in the usual way. Recess 206 SOM HR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR came, and the boys donned their caps and coats and went out of doors to play in the newly-fallen snow. Bob did not discover his loss until after school. When lie put on his coat, he felt for his knife—it was nowhere to be found! He searched his pockets, but it was not in any of them. “Oh, fellows, he cried, you know my jackknife, don't you? They all did. “Tve lost it.” Then the search began. Every boy looked everywhere he could think of to find the knife. Some looked around the schoolhouse, for Bob had been play- ing there; others looked around his desk and in the dressing-room, but none could find the knife. Tim alone remained in the background. Bob, realizing that lie had lost the knife which his great-grandfather had give® him, and which had been in the family for years, was nearly heart- broken. As he walked home that afternoon he kept saying over and over again to himself: “If I had only taken mother’s advice and been more careful. But it was too late now; he would probably never see his knife again. And there was his widowed mother, too. He had almost forgotten her in his sorrow. She must not know, for she was ill enough already without worrying over him. He tried to assume his usual cheerful manner when he entered his home. Several weeks passed, and as the knife had not been discovered, the children forgot about it. Tim, however, had not forgotten. He had felt as if he was under the shadow of a great crime ever since that day. One day Bob did not come to school, and the report that Bob’s mother was very ill reached Tim’s ears. He became very thoughtful, and when he reached his room that night he had ac- cused himself of committing the greatest crime possible. What if Bob’s mother died! He could not bear to think of what Bob would think of him if he knew what lie had done. In this mood of self-reproach, Tim resolved to go that very night to return the knife to Bob and to confess his guilt. - Tim dismounted from his steed, and. ploughing his way through the snow, tethered him to the snow-banked hitching post. Then he made his way slowly but resolutely in the direction of a small beam of light which shone from a window directly in front of him. He was bent in thought as he approached the small doorstoop, but lie be- came suddenly aware of a faint moaning, as if some one was in distress. He looked about him —no, it was not the wind, for the night was bitter cold, and not a branch was astir. The moaning continued, and Tim now caught the direction from whence it came. He walked cautiously up to the small window, his steps muffled by the snow; he looked into the room, and there he saw Bob anxiously watching over his mother, who was feverishly turning and moaning in delirium. Tim had seen enough to make him realize the serious- ness of the situation. He tapped gently at the door, and Bob softly opened it, somewhat sur- prised to see such a visitor at that time of night. d im, obviously moved by his recent experience, offered to ride to the village, two miles away, and bring aid to the suffering mother, who had no one to take care of her but her devoted son. Without further words, Tim mounted his horse and urged him on to his utmost speed. A half-hour later Tim, almost frozen, jumped from his panting horse and struggled to the doc- tor’s door. He fumbled around the casement, and finally succeeded in ringing the bell. A girl timidly opened the door, and Tim, in broken syllables, told her that he must see the doctor. The venerable old man readily consented to hasten to Bob’s house, and soon a one-horse sleigh and a boy on horseback were speeding over the road in the direction of the farmhouse. Hardly an hour had elapsed, but it seemed like a century to Bob, who was watching his mother grow worse and worse. When he at last heard sleigh bells approaching, he offered a prayer of thanks to God for using Tim to help him. The doctor gave Mrs. Esterbrook some medi- cine which quieted her, and pronounced the dis- ease typhoid fever. Then, after comforting Bob and congratulating Tim, he left the two boys to- gether. How can I ever thank you. Tim?” asked Bob, as he looked at Tim, his eyes brimming over with grateful tears. That's nothing. Tim replied. “Any one would have done it if they had been in my place. Besides. Bob, I was duty and conscience-bound-to do it.” Bob glanced at Tim qucstioningly. “Well, you remember that day that you lost your knife?” Bob assented. “You remember that I was late that same day?” Yes. but what of it?” Well, it was a pretty mean thing to do, but I took your knife. It was just what I’d always wanted, and I had a good chance, so I took it. You’ll probably never speak to me again, but I want you to know there was a little manhood in me. Here’s your knife.” Tim started shamefully for the door, when Bob arrested him. Sec here, Tim, let’s forget it and be friends.” They have been friends ever since. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 20 7 Ifoow Ibelen Savcb Tiler IDome Bv lElla Sullivan, '12 HE glory of the sunset filled the sky, and was reflected in the small lake down in the valley. The hill, crowned with its dark trees, stood off in sharp relief. At the edge of the woods, enjoy- ing the splendor of the scene, stood a young girl. Here in the valley Helen Trent had spent the seventeen years of her life, a life which, until within the last few months, had been a happy and peaceful one. Everything had happened so sud- denly. Her father, a scholarly hut very imprac- tical man, had been killed in a railroad accident. The shock had been almost too much for the deli- cate mother, and Helen, in the absence of any near relatives, had assumed control of affairs. She learned that the house was heavily mort- gaged, and that there was barely enough money left for their living expenses. There was but one thing for Helen to do. She must, for the present, give up all hope of college and go to work. Her sister Amy, a few years younger than herself, could stay with her mother. Then an idea came to her. Why not obtain a position as a com- panion to some invalid? So Helen had adver- tised in the city papers, and finally received an answer that appeared promising. It was from a middle-aged lady, a semi-invalid, who wanted just such a companion. Letters and references were exchanged, and Helen was to leave for the city on the next day. With a farewell look around her. Helen de- scended the hill and walked rapidly along the country road, finally turning in at the gate of a cozy, vine-covered little cottage. Her mother stood in the doorway waiting. “I was beginning to worry over your absence, dearie, for it is growing late. Supper is all ready, and we want your last meal at home to be just right, and at the thought of the morrow's part- ing Mrs. Trent clasped Helen more closely. ‘‘And we've got your favorite dessert, coffee jelly with whipped cream, and layer cake! And I helped mother make them, didn't 1. mother? cried Amy. ‘‘Yes, dear. But we will go inside now, for I know sister must be hungry after her long walk. Early the next morning Helen found herself on the train for the first time in her life, going out alone into the world. After all the familiar landmarks had disappeared in the distance, she looked around her. On the opposite seat sat a lady with a baby in her arms, and a little boy sucking a piece of sticky candy. Helen was very fond of children, and soon she made friends with him, and before long he was on the scat beside her, offering his candy to her, and listening to marvelous fairy tales. At noon time, when she opened the dainty lunch prepared by loving hands, her thoughts flew back over the long road to the dear ones left at home. But she was young, and it was not long before she began to think of all that lay before her. Would she like Miss Ames? Perhaps she, Helen, might not be able to please her employer. And then-------- But all journeys must end. and shortly after three o'clock Helen alighted from the train. In all her life she had never seen so many people, and she felt greatly relieved to hear a kind voice behind her saying:— I beg your pardon, are you Miss Helen Trent? I am Hannah, Miss Ames’ maid.” During the short ride in the car Helen learned that Miss Ames was very eccentric, although, in her own way. kind-hearted at times. The meeting between them was brief. Helen received an impression of a pleasant, middle-aged lady lying on a couch in a large room which spoke tyoth of wealth and good taste. I think you had better rest in your room until dinner time. Hannah will show you the way,” and Miss Ames returned to the book she had been reading. The next week was a frying one. No matter how hard she tried, sometimes it was impossible for' Helen to please her employer. At other times, on turning suddenly around, she found Miss Ames looking at her with a sad, yearning expression. She heard rumors of some unfortu- nate love affair, and she tried to forget the sharp rebukes. Then one day things went worse than usual. Miss Ames found fault with everything. The cook, a new one, left in anger, Hannah was in a neighboring town visiting her sick mother, and Helen felt as if she could not remain much longer herself. As she brought Miss Ames’ dinner in to her, she found her crying over a portrait. Instantly Helen’s arms were about her. “Won’t you tell me what is making you so un- happy?” Miss Ames handed her the portrait. “Why, that is my own mother and father! Do you know them?” 208 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Yes, Helen. It is a long story. Your mother and I were friends from childhood. Then, after we had finished our schooling, your mother’s people moved away. About this time I met your father. From the first 1 loved him, but he never cared for me save as a friend. Your mother came to visit me, and they fell in love with each other, and before she went home they were en- gaged. 1 went away and tried to forget them. We never communicated, but I have managed to keep informed of her, and when I saw your ad- vertisement 1 determined you should come here, where you would be carefully watched over. I was too proud to ask your mother’s forgiveness, but I love her, and now I am going to write to her and beg her to come and make her home with me. I)o you think she will, dearie?” “Oh. I know she will! She has spoken of you so often, and wished she might hear from you again.” It seemed to Helen that she could not have been sleeping very long, when suddenly she awoke with a start. Her room was full of smoke! Her first thoughts were of Miss Ames, for she was alone in her room downstairs. Hannah was away, the cook had left, and John slept out in the barn. Quickly she donned her dressing gown and slippers. With difficulty she made her way through the upper hall, now dense with smoke. At last she reached the stairway, and was just about to descend, when her foot slipped and she fell to the bottom! For a moment she was dazed, then she became conscious of a sharp pain in her right arm and head. But, jumping up, she has- tened to Miss Ames’ room. Here the flames had just begun to burn through. Almost fainting with the pain in her arm and head, Helen tried in vain to awaken her. Miss Ames, however, was overcome with the smoke, and finally Helen caught her up as best she could and began to drag her from the burning room. By this time, however, the fire had been de- tected by a passing policeman, who rang in an alarm and hurried back to the house. Breaking in the front door, he caught Helen just as she fell unconscious to the floor. After a few hours Miss Ames recovered, and learned that Helen was in a very serious condi- tion. Mrs. Trent and Amy were sent for, and the two friends, so long separated, clasped each other at the bedside of the brave girl who had been the means of bringing them once more to- gether. With a moan that went straight through all their hearts, Helen opened her eyes. As she saw her mother and Miss Ames together, she smiled and attempted to raise her arms. But the movement was too much, and the next instant the sufferer was freed from all pain. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for another.” • —— E 0 1 0U? (Continued from page ‘201.) Late in the afternoon a telegram from San Francisco was handed to Winthrop. He tore it open and read it—not once, but twice, three times. Then he paused to let the full significance of the words sink into his brain:— “Your Uncle Peter died Monday at G.15 p. m. Funeral Thursday.” It was signed with his aunt’s name! 6.15 p. m.! Two hours before his uncle had handed him the ten thousand dollars! Winthrop staggered into his partner’s office. “Have you got that money I gave you?” he asked in a hoarse whisper. Goodwin looked up in surprise. “Why, yes. But what's the matter with you? You look as if you’d seen a ghost,” with an attempt at jocularity. Winthrop moistened his lips. “I just received a telegram from my aunt in San Francisco that my Uncle Peter died at 6.15 last night.” “Is that so?” said Goodwin sympathetically. “Are you going out there?” A shudder passed through Winthrop’s body. “No.” he answered, “I couldn’t get there in time for the funeral,” and he started to leave. Oh, by the way.” remarked Goodwin, you didn't tell me where that money came from.” Winthrop grew white. “The—er—party pre- fers to be unknown to all but me,” lie said, at- tempting to speak naturally. Failing sadly in this attempt, he hurriedly left the office. Taking his telegram, and leaving word that he would not return until the next day, Winthrop hastened home. There lie again considered the situation. Ilis Uncle Peter had died in San Fran- cisco at 6.15 the night before, and yet at some time between 8 o’clock and 8.30 had sat in that very room, within a half-hour’s ride of New York, and had counted out and given him bills amount- ing to ten thousand dollars! “If it wasn’t for the fact that Goodwin abso- lutely has that money, I’d think I was fit for the asylum. But I wish I had something else to con- vince me,” said Winthrop in perplexity. Suddenly his eyes rested upon the ash tray. There was the half-consumed cigar which he had given his uncle the preceding evening! Winthrop shook his head in wonderment as he picked up the evidence and regarded it from all sides. Then he addressed the empty air: ‘T don’t understand it. Do you?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 I suitable laboratories, workshops, etc., for the Central high school. The important and gratifying part oi the recom- mendation is that, aside from the question of a West Somerville high school, it aims at imme- diate improvement in the present school. � r •� Much interest has been manifest in the new school pin and seal of the school. A permanent design has been adopted with the following fea- tures: The foundation of the design is coin shaped, with irregular edge. The central feature is the Old Powder House as a symbol, perhaps the best known object in Somerville, one of the foremost historical structures and landmarks in greater Boston, and well-known through the United States. The seven hills of Somerville, with the rays of the rising sun, form a background. Above the Powder House is the word Excelsior;” an early motto of the Latin School, and known to the earliest graduates. Surrounding these features is a band of blue with “Somerville High School” and a shield of red with the date. A representation of the seal without the shield bearing the date appears on the cover of this issue. g � tg Friday morning, March 29, Alma C. Pigon was graduated from life's school into her heavenly home. All who came within the radius of her life were helped and cheered by her beautiful spirit, and her many friends prove that to know her was a pleasure and delight. The Junior class has lost a bright, active member; the school a loyal stu- dent, and her associates a friend whom they loved and will ever remember. Our loss is her gain. T. r. � � r, vg From now on, Seniors, there will be many chances to show class spirit.

T. r ag ag ag Judging from present indications, it is sate to say that the Somerville High School class day oi 1912 will be a memorable event. The custom of planting an ivy, which was observed by the Eng- lish High School for years, will be followed with the usual class-day exercises. There will be also exercises to commemorate the sixtieth anniver- sary of the founding of a high school in Somer- ville. Doubtless the whole program will be one such as only 1912 can produce. a v For a long time we have been wishing that Somerville High School might be represented in track athletics.

Who knows? 212 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR H Cbat on Btbletics at Somerville Ibtgb School By? IRobert G. IRicbarDs, ’12 HE sporting editor sat at his desk in the palatial quarters of the Radia- tor office composing an athletic column to give entertainment and information to the readers of this publication. Here, immersed in newspapers and athletic literature of all sorts, the editor-in-chief found him. and. without a mo- ment’s hesitation, demanded what the sporting editor was going to contribute for the April Radiator, the staff number—“otherwise as good as usual.” Whereupon the sporting editor reached for a paper-cutter, and answered in a ferocious tone, “’Nothing.” “Now that won't do,” said the unalarmed edi- tor-in-chief. You’ve got to do your share. I don't care whether you write a story or a poem or something else, but whatever it is, hurry it up.” With this mild request, the editor-in-chief removed his person from the precincts of the office, leav- ing the sporting editor to an afternoon of litera- ture. The office boy closed the door upon his depart- ing superior, and the sporting editor racked his brain for some subject on which to write. An idea suddenly drifted through the office window, and implanted itself upon the thought circuits of the sporting editor’s brain. “Supposing,” he mused, “that I cut out most of the athletic column this month, and. instead of that monthly sporting chat, substitute a bigger article, which will set forth a few ideas and sug- gestions and facts for the benefit of high school athletics. Just now everybody is wondering whether there will be a track team, and lots of the fellows are criticising the arrangement of the new baseball diamond constructed at the ‘munici- pal swamp.' Give the public the facts!” To further the cause of athletics at Somerville High School the sporting editor bent to his task, and thus he writes:— Perhaps the most important project now un- der discussion by the school is track athletics. As everybody well knows, Somerville has not been represented by a track team for several years, chiefly because of a ruling of the Inter- scholastic Athletic Association, which does not permit two schools to be represented by one track team. As the schools arc now united in every respect, this objection is removed, and the school is free to have a track team to represent her this spring. The question which everybody asks is, “shall we?” Vc certainly hope so, but there are some obstacles, the greatest being the fact that Somerville High School has no gymnasium for indoor practice and running during the winter months. It is useless to print anything regarding a gymnasium in these pages. We all realize that it is a disgrace to any city as large as Somer- ville to have a high school without a gymnasium, but at present there seems to be no chance of securing such a thing. How fine it would be if we did have a gymna- sium! Interclass track meets, basket ball games, relay races, room contests, and dances on the hardwood floor would all be ours. However, there is no use in building air castles. But we all know how the track team is thus handicapped at the start by lack of suitable winter accommo- dations. Nevertheless obstacles may be overcome, and now Mr. Hatch has come forward with a novel suggestion. “Why not have an intcrclass meet at Tufts oval sometime in May?” he asks. A mighty good idea, Mr. Hatch, if it is proved to be practicable. An interclass meet would stir up some of the latent school spirit, and, moreover, perhaps a few star athletes would be discovered. Tufts oval has a fine quartermile cinder run- ning track as good as could be asked for. On this track we could have 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, quarter-mile, half-mile, two-mile, and Marathon runs, and high and low hurdles. Then, in the large area inclosed by the track there is room for the shot-put, hammer throw, running high and broad jumps, standing high and broad jumps, and the pole vault. (Of course it is not to be expected that there will be entries for all these events, but the dashes and shorter runs ought to be popular.) We omitted to make mention of class relay races. Each room could easily get together a relay team of its own mem- bers. which would add interest to the occasion. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2cg IDi . Hver ? on School Spirit Probably one of the most indefinable elements in the life of a nation is patriotism. Men may go through their daily routine and little or noth- ing may arise to call forth any special feeling or demonstration of patriotism. A crisis of some kind changes the whole situation, and men and women come forward prepared to sacrifice their convenience and perhaps even their lives for the common weal. This is the best known form of patriotism and arouses the admiration and respect of all. There is another and more subtle form of patriotism which shows itself in the every-day life of the people. Men and women who arc de- voting the whole or a part of their lives to the bet- terment of their fellows and to the study and exe- cution of civic and political reform are just as truly patriots, even though they are but little known and avoid the lime-light of notoriety. In the larger acceptance of the word “patriotism” this latter interpretation, then, is really the broader and more vital. I have prefaced my talk on school spirit by these remarks on patriotism because I fully be- lieve that school spirit and school “patriotism” are practically the same. There arc two kinds of school spirit,—the demonstrative or spontaneous outbreak and the thoughtful every-day expression of loyalty. A boy or girl, if asked what school spirit means, would probably speak of the first kind only. Very naturally, for this is the one with which we are all familiar. Enthusiastic support of school teams, vociferous cheering at school gatherings, parades, and demonstrations arc wonderful factors in moulding and fostering love for one’s school, and are very necessary, but they arc only one and a very small means of showing the real school spirit. The soldier whose heart swells with love of coun- try when marching behind the band in a parade listening to the cheers of the crowd is, in a way, a patriot; but if the same soldier fails on picket duty, or in a long, hard march, or on the battle- field. his so-called patriotism counts for nothing. True school spirit, like true patriotism, must stand the test, therefore, of the daily, hard grind of actual school life. Let us have the enthusiasm of the crowd on special occasions, but let us also have the thoughtful loyalty of the individual in the every-day routine of school life. True school spirit shows itself in many ways. I will give a few only:— (1) Support of school rules. The school in which government is the least apparent is the best governed. Pupils whose good conduct in school is voluntary arc its best supporters. (2) School pride. A feeling of pride in the things for which the school stands is a great in- fluence, as it brings about not only the co-opera- tion of the well-disposed, but, by their example and admonition, the support of the indifferent. A leader in school life is as valuable an aid as the brave officer in the battle. (3) Recognition at all times that we are mem- bers of the school. The pupil who is filled with school fealty while in school, but who forgets in conduct and word the qualities for which the school stands when away from school, has not true school spirit. Actions away from school unbe- coming a true gentleman or lady reflect on the school and the school spirit. (4) Consideration for the teachers. Con- sideration for those who are giving their energy and life to our welfare is a simple, but sincere, expression of school spirit. (5) Support of school organizations. There arc many valuable activities in a school. Ath- letics. dramatics, music, debating are all valuable. Pupils who participate, as well as those who cheer, are school patriots. The pupil who spends hours of hard work and self-sacrifice to fit him- self to “follow the ball” or to bring honor to his school in the debate deserves credit for his loyalty, and is entitled to the support of his fellows. ((i) Placing the school interests before all others. Many instances of this form of school loyalty could be given. I will cite one. Societies or clubs of school pupils are in many schools strongly opposed by school authorities because of their hostility to school spirit. The true society— and I can quote those in our own school as ex- [Continued on page 215.) 210 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS Spring is with us again, and again you arc won- dering—so arc we all—what kind of baseball team is to represent Somerville High School this year. There are a number of reasons to expect a successful season. In the first place, we have a coach who proved his worth in the season of 1911. The fortunes of a baseball aggregation can have no better augury than a coach who has Mr. Tift’s experience, and who has the respect and attention of his pupils to such a degree as has Mr. Tift. The Red and Blue has in “Johnnie” Norton a captain whose three years’ experience, together with his hard-working spirit and great popularity, must surely give telling strength to the work on the diamond. We have in Walter Whittaker a pitcher whose 19J1 record shows but a single defeat, and whose strongest asset is his unflinching coolness in tight places. Add to these good omens John Mitchell’s 1911 cup-winning bat, the speed that brought the cup for base-stealing to Norton, and a large as- sortment of promising material, and you can have no fear that Somerville high will be a back-num- ber. Yes, we’ve read all about Medford’s crack pitchers, etc., but baseball's still baseball; it never was one-sided, and the Suburban League cham- pionship is not won until the last man is out on the 17th of June. The baseball season gives another chance to see what progress has been made in the matter of good cheering for the Red and Blue. We trust your throat is in good condition for to-morrow’s games. , t The “High School Question” is looming up larger than ever. Now the Somerville Medical Society has communicated with the board of aldermen, calling attention earnestly, but courte- ously, to what seems to its members a serious menace to the health and well-being of the youth of Somerville.” The protest against the lack of suitable hygienic conditions, the compulsory after- noon session, the use of artificial light in the afternoon, the too frequent climbing of stairs, the use of damp, ill-lighted basements for manual training and lunch rooms, the absence of facilities for physical instruction, etc., is well worthy of serious consideration. The controversy over the question as to whether the city should at present time build an addition to the present high school building or provide for the erection of a fully-equipped high school build- ing in West Somerville seems to have been settled, as far as the school committee is concerned. In its recommendation to the mayor and board of aldermen, the committee asks that immediate pro- vision be made for an addition to the Central-hill plant, providing sittings for 2,000 pupils, an audi- torium having a seating capacity of 1,500, gym- nasia for boys and girls, and a lunch room large enough to give sittings for 500 or GOO pupils. The reason for this course is logically stated in the let- ter of recommendation. After stating the imperative needs in the high school, the report explains that the building of a high school in another part of the city would not give the accommodations set forth as being neces- sary to the complete efficiency of the present group,” but the committee recommends also one of two things:— (1) A second addition to the Central-hill plant now or at some future time, providing for work- shops for the manual training department, rooms for domestic science, extension of the commercial department, and additional laboratories. (2) If, as an alternative to (1), a high school building in another part of the city be deemed ad- visable, then the space vacated in the existing building by the withdrawal of pupils to the pro- posed new school should be devoted to providing SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 213. It is understood in school circles that the in- mates of Rooms 27 W and 23 V arc intensely eager to meet each other in any sort of con- test. A good relay race between these two rooms would add more rivalry than anything else. Taken all together, this interclass track meet would be a great thing for the- school, and the Athletic Association should take steps towards following up Mr. Hatch’s suggestion. However, there are two questions to ask. First, where shall we have the meet if we can’t secure the use of Tufts oval? We can't very well turn to the Somerville field, because there is no track laid out. “Why not?” someone asks. Be- cause the new field is being built on the install- ment plan, and the track may not come for a year or more. The February Radiator of 1911 contains a plan of the entire field, and on it the position of the track is definitely 'located. There- fore, it looks like Tufts oval or nothing. The second question is: “If we have the track meet at Tufts oval, where will the fellows dress?” The Tufts College athletes dress up at their gymna- sium near the reservoir, and walk down from there looking like citizens of ancient Rome. But what the Somerville boys will do is a ques- tion for consideration. A fellow can’t run with any degree of freedom if he has to wear long trousers, so we advise every would-be athlete to purchase a good running suit and wear it. So, if the association decides to hold a track meet, it will do well to erect a small, portable building to serve as a dressing room, where the contestants may change their suits and leave their valuables. But before we leave the subject of track ath- letics, remember that even if we don't have a track meet of our own, there will be the Suburban League track meet in June, and that Somerville ought to be well represented. Therefore, if you have any athletic ability do all the training you can, keep in good condition. Somerville won three points last year; help make it thirty-three this June. And now a few remarks concerning the great American game of baseball. There is no need here to look over the prospects of the nine, and to prophecy a bright season. When you read this article it will be the day before the first Suburban League game with Malden at Malden's splendid athletic field, and if you travel with the nine on the next day you can get a good idea of what sort of an aggregation Captain Norton is going to lead. The baseball schedule of this spring seems to be open to severe criticism as regards the league games, which arc “bunched” in an unfavorable manner. For instance, there is a league game on May 30 and another two days later, on June 1. Then there are three games crowded so closely together in the last week of the season that suc- cess seems impossible,—Malden on 15th, Medford on the 17th, and Melrose on the 19th. Moreover, the first league game is against Malden, preceded by only one practice game: so the team which will give battle to the yellow and blue on Patri- ots’ Day will be a very crude organization. But there are several good points in tiic list of dates, and the Manchester (X. H.) trip on Satur- day, June S, looks good. For those who have automobiles we suggest that this trip will give a splendid opportunity for an all-day ride through the charming villages of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Start early, get lunch’ at Manchester, watch the game, and come home by moonlight. We hope that a large number of fans will make the trip with the team, and show the. .New Hamp- shire boys what we have here in Somerville. Be- sides this, there are two other good trips on the schedule, notably Brockton and Newton, and both of them can be counted upon to fill up the whole afternoon, at least. If you possibly can, support the team on these out-of-town games, for a team never needs rooters so much as when away from home. From the discussion of the baseball schedule we turn to the new athletic field, where we see Mr. Bailey’s new diamond stretched out before our eyes. The home plate glistens a scant thirty- feet from the grandstand, although the rule book expressly states that the home plate shall not be within ninety feet of any stationary obstruction. How is any catcher going to get foul flies when he will run into the cement wall at a distance of thirty feet? How has the base-runner any chance with the grandstand serving as a backstop close behind the plate? Foul balls will go sailing out into the boulevard in constant succession, and, undoubtedly, some innocent spectator will get seriously hurt by a sharp foul ball which plunges into the midst of a crowd so close behind the batter. With the home plate only thirty feet away from the main entrance to the field, there will be only two sections, D and E, from which a good view of the game can be secured, and these are in a dangerous proximity to the batter. The remain- [Continueu on page 215.] 214 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ATHLETICS j . - r ' W Hr Baseball prospects The baseball team has been severely handi- capped by the cold weather of this spring, but notwithstanding, satisfactory progress has been made. The candidates for battery positions were called out for practice in the Y. M. C. A. gymna- sium during the latter part of February, anil about ten men reported. Of these the most promising are: Pitchers. Whittaker. Carpenter, Van Ummer- son, Scanned, and Stewart; catchers. Hoban, Lynch, Heflfernan. McQuinn, and Cushing. The call for candidates for the other positions was sent out as soon as the weather moderated in March, and about thirty-five men reported for practice at City Field. It is altogether too early at the time of writing to make any accurate pre- diction as to the makeup of the nine. However, it is safe to state that Whittaker will be the slab artist, and that Norton and Mitchell will play short and third respectively. Robertson and Mc- Intyre seem to be the best men for second, while first base lies between Quimbv, Cosgrove. Page, Leland, and West. The backstop and outfield po- sitions arc as yet undetermined. -------------------------------- Ube Htbletic association Elects IDanaoers On Friday afternoon. March 22, 1912, the mid- winter meeting of the Somerville High School Athletic Association was held in Room 29 E. The meeting was called for the election of foot- ball, assistant football, and hockey managers of next year’s sports. When Mr. Blodgett called the meeting to order at 1.30 the room was over- flowing with enthusiastic candidates, and, as was expected, the elections turned out to be the clos- est ones in recent years. 'fhe election of a football manager came first, and here a keen rivalry existed between Oscar Cederlund. assistant football manager of 1911, and John Mitchell, the well-known ball-tosser. Cederlund was elected by a vote of 45 to 35. For assistant football manager the choice lay between Herbert MacIntyre, Wilfred MacDonald, and Charles Hunnewell. MacIntyre had a walk- over. receiving forty-five votes, with MacDonald and Hunnewell getting eighteen and seventeen respectively. The surprise of the day came when the result of the election for hockey manager was an- nounced. For this position five candidates were contesting,—Ernest Larabee. Raymond Baxter, Paul Hunnewell, Douglas Fleming, and Gerald Gillis.—and it was necessary to ballot twice. On the first ballot Larabee, Gillis, and Fleming were eliminated, leaving the choice between Baxter and Hunnewell. with the former having the odds. On the second ballot Hunnewell won by the close margin of five votes, the final result being Hunne- well. forty-one. Baxter, thirty. lb ere anb Ubere in Btblettcs A pretty cold spring for baseball. We see by the papers that the Tail Phi Sigma fraternity will be represented by a fast ball team this year. Here’s for a successful season. Manager Woodman, of the baseball team, has requested a few lines in which to introduce his assistant manager,Raymond Parmer. Parmer is fully able to speak for himself, but we will say for him that once seen, he is never forgotten. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The interclass meet is going to be a reality! Mr. Hatch has proved that a track meet is practi- cable, and. moreover, has made arrangements for the use of Tufts oval, including both track and athletic field, when warm weather comes. Mr. Atwater, the well-known Tufts College athlete, will be in charge of candidates for the team, and under his coaching good results should be ob- tained. — cbe Xctter JBoi [Continued from page 209.] amples—subserves its own interest to those of the school, and is. therefore, a help rather than a hindrance in the conduct of the school. (7) Faithful attention to work. The school is, above all, a place for hard work. The pupil, therefore, who recognizes this fact and is faithful to the thought shows his loyalty, and in after life reflects glory on the school. This is not a sermon, but, rather, an expression of -an opinion to which the great majority of pu- pils in their thoughtful moments will, I am sure, readily subscribe. Hearty unanimity between teachers and pupils, loyalty on the part of all to its institutions, and a vigorous working together are factors which will make any school a source of pride to the com- munity. Are we, one and all, doing our part ? John A. Avery, Head Master. —— H Chat on athletics at Somerville Ibiflb School [Continued from page 213.] ing sections will be practically valueless as far as a chance of seeing the game is concerned. How can a spectator in H (and at the Medford game there will be people in II) sec anything transpir- ing on the diamond unless he uses a telescope? The only remedy will be to construct iarge wooden stands extending along the first and third base lines. While this would render it extremely pleasant and easy to watch a game, it is very doubtful if any such stands will be built. And if they are not. our new field will be classed as a “pretty” piece of landscape, but one totally devoid of accommodations for a crowd of any magnitude. Speaking of accommodations, we say right here that there ought to be a locker building con- structed somewhere on the field this spring. There is another subject under the heading of baseball which should be commented upon, and 215 that is interclass baseball. Interclass baseball is a great thing for the school and for the boys, as was proved last year when five class teams were put on the diamonds. The classes of 11)12, 1913, and 11)11 from the Latin School and 11)13 and 1914 from the English School were represented by nines, and a schedule of games arranged. Al- together, about thirty league games were played, some of them being as close and interesting as any major league games ever were. While we should like to give a detailed account of the games and players, and even pick an all-inter- class team, space will not permit, but it should be mentioned that when the season came to an end Latin. 1913, had won the championship of the Interclass League by a big margin. We hope that there will be intcrclass teams organized this spring, and perhaps even some rooms will be able to put good teams in the field. These smaller teams often bring forth players who are of “varsity” calibre, and, moreover, players “canned” from the “varsity” nine can drop back gently upon the class aggregations. We have a suggestion to offer, and that is that the Athletic Association expend a few dollars in purchasing good balls and several masks and bats for the class teams. They would be appreciated, for now all the money for the support of the nines comes from the pockets of individual members of the different classes, and it is an extremely hard 'and unpleasant task for the manager to raise the necessary funds. If every class team received a dozen balls, a mask, and three bats at the first of the season, class baseball would take a boom. And now only a few more items. Football and hockey have come and gone, and there is no need of commenting upon them. However, there are two minor sports which the school ought to take up if possible, namely, tennis and swimming. Quite a number of fellows here are good tennis players, and would be glad of a chance to measure racquets with one another. Cambridge High and Latin School holds an annual tennis tourna- ment. both for singles and doubles, and the winner of the singles championship is given a C.” There is no reason why we should not do the same thing at Somerville if someone will start it. If the tennis courts are ever constructed at the new field maybe tennis will become more popular. Swimming, too, is a coming sport, especially in Boston, where it is compulsory. Almost all the Boston high schools have swimming teams, and now Melrose High is falling into line.

From 1912 Notes of the Radiator, October, 1908:— Freshmen of 1912, we are just beginning our four years of study at a school that stands high amongst the foremost of this state, and one that has graduated many a class; let us now highly re- solve that we will not fall below the standard set by past classes that have passed out of the doors of their Alma Mater.” Seniors of 1912, have we, have you personally lived up to this resolve of four years ago? Have we made 1912 the best, the poorest, or simply one of the average of the many classes that have passed out of the doors of their Alma Mater”? We cannot judge ourselves, but if each classman has done his best, there is no doubt that 1912 will rank among the leaders. If you sec some Seniors going over to E with overcoats on, don’t be alarmed and think they’re going home. They are only the Phresh Air Phicnds.

Me.). Argus (Gardner. Mass.), School Life (Melrose. Mass.), Searchlight (Walpole, Mass.). Index (Worcester, Mass.), Abbott Observer (Farmington, Me.), Recorder (Springfield, Mass.), Review (Xewton High School). The Radiator wishes to state that it has re- ceived benefit through its exchanges during the year, and that the criticisms have been made in a friendly, helpful manner. May we continue to receive kindly suggestions and endeavor to ex- tend them to all our exchanges. The December number of Pine Xeedles (Lin- coln, Me.), although small, is a well-arranged paper. However, we think that three pages of alumni notes are too many in proportion to your other departments. The introduction of appro- priate cuts would add greatly to your paper. The Triangle is an ideal paper in every way. Its stories are cleverly written, and all its depart- ments arc well-balanced. The March number of the Pinkerton Critic con- tains much good material and very interesting stories. The cuts of the Argus are too large in com- parison with the size of the pages. The cover, although neat and conventional, is not artistic, but too gaudy. Perhaps a change of color would make it more dignified. The contents arc good. School Life contains good literature, but not enough of it. We are anxious to finish The Five Dollar Bill. Why not devote more of youl- paper to exchanges? The Mystery in the Searchlight is very inter- esting. Your paper is well-written, but we can- not find your alumni notes. We arc glad to receive our first copy .of the Index. Your cover is exceptionally neat. Your contents can be improved by arranging the mate- rial in a clear-cut manner and placing the adver- tisements by themselves. The quality of the paper does not come up to the quality of materia!. ‘The Abbott Observer is an interesting ex- change. The editorial and article on Dickens is good, but the arrangement could be improved by placing the literature and athletics separate. The cuts of the Recorder are excellent. The- arrangement is especially good. We enjoyed The Witch of Rockport, but where are your alumni notes? The Review, as usual, is very good. All its departments are neat and well-written.

T6-A 228 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Zhc Judge’s Stor? Bp IDa5 Urging, ’14 JOYOUS New Year’s day was draw- ing to a close. The merry party at Judge Hunter’s house had feasted and frolicked to their heart’s content, and now in the twilight young and old gathered great old-fashioned fireplace, telling The judge, an old man of venerable aspect, was glancing fondly at the dainty little wife by his side, who was gazing dreamily into the fire, apparently unconscious of all about her. “Are you thinking of that New Year’s night long ago?” lie whispered. “Yes,” she answered softly, “the night the old clock stopped.” A sunny-haired maiden sitting on a hassock at their feet heard the softly-spoken words, and ex- claimed: “Oh, Judge Hunter, that sounds like a good story! Won’t you tell us about it?” The other young people joined in, begging so hard for the story that the judge yielded to their en- treaties. “Many years ago Gladys and I both lived in the city of Somerville. I had always been fond of her ever since we first went to school together, and gallantly carried her books, and secretly ad- mired her brown curls. I y the time she was eighteen and I a year older, I was known throughout the town as her ‘beau.’ We always went to the church picnics and dances together, and I invariably spent Sunday evening at her home. The one obstacle was that her father ordered ‘lights out' when the clock struck nine. It seemed as though I had hardly got my hat off before that hateful clock would strike nine, a sig- nal for me to get my hat and go. “On this particular evening Gladys was called from the room for a few minutes, and during her absence, as I idly gazed about, my eyes lighted upon a piece of shoemaker’s wax. A daring plan suggested itself to me, and I said beneath my breath: ‘Curfew shall not ring to-night.’ I slyly crept out into the hall and placed it in the wheels of the clock, and lo! the clock stopped with the hands pointing to twenty minutes to nine. “Presently Gladys returned, and we resumed our conversation. I could hear the old folks going up the marble stairs to bed, and felt rather guilty, but neither of us gave the clock a second thought, so busy were we in discussing our plans for the future. At last, when the fire was nearly out, and the lamp was beginning to flicker for want of oil, I bade Gladys good night and went stealthily home. “Fate decreed that that should be my last visit to the old house. Two days later I went to the city where my parents decided soon after to make their home. At first freejuent letters passed between Gladys and myself, but after a time her responses were shorter and more impersonal, until finally she returned one of my letters un- opened. I was stunned, but worked harder than ever to try to overcome the dull ache in my heart. A few days later I read of her marriage to another. “In the course of time my father died, and it was necessary for me to go to Somerville to settle the property in that city. So, fifteen years after I had left the city, I found myself in the home of my boyhood days. From an old friend I learned that Gladys, long since a widow, still lived in a modest house at one end of the city. I determined to sec her, and in fifteen minutes’ time I was face to face with my old sweetheart. “Father Time had dealt kindly with Gladys; her face and manner seemed almost as pretty and youthful as when I left her. We talked on im- personal matters, until I spied the old clock standing majestically in the corner of the room. The hands still pointed to twenty minutes of nine. Gladys, seeing my look, said: ‘Do you know, Sumner, that that clock has never gone since the last night you called on me?’. I told her that perhaps I could fix it, and, opening the door, I extracted the piece of shoemaker’s wax, and once more it ticked merrily. Gladv’s wondering face compelled me to confess my deed, and before long we were talking of the happy past. I begged her to tell me why her love for me had changed, and then she told me of how a rival had made her believe that I no longer cared for the little country lass, in the gay life I led in the city.

I don’t care, I know it’s no use because he can’t do anything at the back paddle.” Julia Rawston tossed her head and hummed a tune. “Look at the dandy fellows the Hurst has. They’re fine paddlcrs, both of them, and they’ve raced before. I tell you, we shall lose the banner this year. I don’t see what possessed Milton to pick out Bert Wal- dron for that place, anyway. Why doesn’t Mil- ton let him paddle in the bow of the canoe? He------” “Julia Rawston, you know very well that Mil- ton did his 'best. If Jack had been up here to practice, Bert would have paddled in the bow. But look at the weak fellow that paddles with Bert. You couldn’t expect him to paddle in the stern. So of course Bert has to do it. I know as well as you do that Bert won’t win for us be- cause—well, to tell you the truth, he can’t do anything, not even dance decently. But the thing for us to do is cheer, and cheer him well.” Bertha Elliot was a loyal young girl, even if she foresaw defeat for her own side. “Just think, Bertha, if we could get the banner this year we should get the championship, but if we lose it the Hurst gets it.” “Let's forget about it, Julia, and go out canoe- ing. We’ve got enough time to think about it before the races begin.” The girls ran quickly down the porch stairs toward the canoe landing. Here was their fa- vorite canoe, “Bertha,” so called after its owner, riding the waves caused by a passing motor boat. Bertha could not resist trying to get into the canoe while it was bobbing up and down in this delightful manner. Her attempt caused her to lose her balance and fall into the muddy water. Julia, after a convulsion of laughter, said cheer- fully: It’s good you didn’t get very wet.” But Bertha was indignant at Julia for laughing, and sharply retorted: Probably I didn’t get very wet, but I got wet enough to feel disagreeable, f only wish that you had fallen in and you probably wouldn't laugh so heartily about it.” After wringing out her skirt, which suffered most from the adventure, Bertha hurried along the worn path to the cottage, only stopping to call to Julia, who stayed behind: “Good-bye, I'll sec you to-morrow at the races!” « ♦ Until eleven o’clock on the eventful day the rain had been falling in a steady downpour. Soon after eleven the sun pierced through the clouds, and by two o’clock the day was as pleasant as could be wished for. At half-past two the crowd slowly began to gather. Among the crowd were two young girls, both in the blooming beauty of health, but instead of merry, bright faces they wore a serious, anxious look. As the girls were about to get their seats, Bertha remarked: “Although I think he’ll fail, one can’t be too sure, for I heard that he docs the most remarkable things sometimes. If we could only be sure about him-----” “Hunvm—if! If is a small------” “Stop your nonsense, Julia. Just sec what it means to us if we get that banner.” “There’s that ‘if’ again!” The noise of the crowd drowned the voices of the girl speakers, and they were content to sit and wait for the signal which would designate the be- ginning of the race. Bertha opened her dainty watch case, and said impatiently: Ten whole minutes longer to wait. Just think of it! Oh. how those ten minutes dragged! One— two—three—four minutes, then five! Would three o’clock never come? So it seemed. Soon, however, the contestants were being placed in the canoes, ready for the signal. “My!” said Bertha, who generally did the most talking. “Bert Waldron certainly looks as if he could do anything to-dav. but look at Dan! He looks worse than ever. I------” but the report of the pistol was heard, and she stopped talking to watch the young men race. They had gone two lengths, and neither canoe was ahead. Could Bertha believe her eyes? Bert was gaining! The Hurst caught up and went a whole length ahead of Bert and his canoe. This distance was kept until the island, which served as a turning point, was reached. Then Bert shouted something to Dan, and slowly but (Continued on page 232.] 230 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'Ifoistorv IRepeats ITtself Bp 1U. 2 ou0las jflemino, ’13 soon as the breakfast dishes had been removed, Banker Farnsway was handed the morning paper by his butler. It had been his custom for years to read the morning paper to his family as they sat around the table. As his wife and son had been traveling in Europe and were not expected home until night, he and his two daughters were sitting alone. Mr. Farnsway glanced up at them with a smile, and then leisurely opened the paper. He glanced at the headlines and then, with a groan, lie fell in an inert heap. What’s the matter, father? Is there any trouble at the bank?” cried Ethel, excitedly. Mildred, who was always the cooler, picked up the paper. Instantly she saw the cause of her father’s collapse. With Ethel peering over her shoulder, she read the awful words: “Airship Mercury in Collision. Report All on Board, 2,500 Souls, Drowned.” They turned toward their father, who had pulled himself together. With a look of anguish on his face, he said: “For God’s sake go on! Read all of it to me!” Then Ethel read the following account:— “The airship Mercury, which was reputed to be the largest and most magnificent ship ever built, rose from London at 0 p. m. yesterday on her trial trip. Although practically nothing was known as to her speed, she was expected to dock about 8 o’clock to-night. The only message received is from the Adonis, which reads as follows: “Received this cry for help from Mercury at 11.45, “Help! Help! Struck unknown ship. Have alighted. May sink at any moment. 41 north, 50 west.—Mercury.” Cruised spot stated. Some wreckage found. No bodies.—Adonis.’ “The Mercury was the best equipped ship in service. It had been furnished with every con- venience for the passengers. Although it seemed impossible for anything to happen to this wonder of modern science, it had been equipped with the full number of life boats and parachutes. It had a capacity of 2,500 people and an estimated speed of about 120 miles an hour. “Although nothing more definite has been heard, this report has been generally accepted by the aerial world. Such a disaster, which seemed so impossible to the modern scientists, will bring back to the minds of a few the awful wreck of the steamship Titanic, which happened fifty-two years ago. in which about 1,500 perished.” When Ethel reached this point Mr. Farnsway, who had been sobbing convulsively, cried, in a trembling voice: “Oh. God, why have you been so cruel to me? First I am bereft of my father and mother in the greatest marine disaster, and now my wife and son perish in the most fearful aerial disaster that ever occurred.” Turning to the girls, he said: “Daughters, I have always kept secret from my family all facts concerning my childhood. Now I will tell them to you as I heard them. When I was a child of three years my father and mother started for America. They sailed on the Titanic, which was making her first and last trip. No doubt you have read about it in school. As I understand, we struck an iceberg in mid-ocean, and the ship, with 1,500 people aboard, went to the bottom. A few hundred were saved. Among these was I. My folks were never heard of again, and I was taken to some charitable institute. The rest of my life you know. And now your mother and brother have been taken by the same course. “Oh, God, why did you visit me with such de- struction!” The daughters were kneeling beside his chair, and when they looked up, their father had gone to visit his dear ones—he was dead. Cbe Sufcoe’s Storv? [Continued from page 22?.] 1 told her that my one thought during all these years had been of her and only her. The old clock struck nine. ‘Must I go, Gladys?’ I asked. “You must guess her answer, said the did judge, as he paused and smiled at his little wife. I say, judge,” called a gay young man in the circle, “you haven’t any shoemaker’s wax around here to-night, have you?” The sunny-haired girl who had begged for the story blushed like a rose as the laughing eyes of all the guests were turned in her direction. SOM HR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 231 THow Spring domes “Up ©ur t'Clav By 3la £S HAoIan, ’12 OWARDS the latter part of March, when the snow is lying in long strips on the ground, half melted, the bare branches of trees and bushes take on a brighter shade. That is the first sign of spring. Then soft, thin clouds begin to float in the sky or lie in mist on the little hills; but it is different from the autumn mist, which is the shroud of the dying year, and very sad. There is a mysterious, expectant feel- ing in the air. Even the sparrows know that something great and wonderful is about to happen. Soon the meadow lark comes, for, even as the meadow lark is the dear, faithful bird which is the last to leave us in the fall, he is the first to come back again in the spring. In the woods and gar- dens the wonderful spring flowers appear—may- flowers, spring beauties, and all the others. I love them, they arc so frail and yet so brave. Now the trees burst forth in tiny red leaves or splendid tassels, and the bluebirds come and sing their cjueer songs. The only way in which all this seems to affect people, the stupid things, is to make them want to joke about spring poets and spring fever. They do not understand that a miracle is being ---------- performed for them. They need to be awakened, but if this cannot awaken them, what can? The sun shines down warmer now, and the thin green leaves begin to unfold and make beau- tiful sounds when the wind rustics them. This is something to have lived through the winter for and suffered much for, as the thought of heaven helps people to bear hard lives. It all seems like a dreadful dream now—the white ground and the bare, jagged trees of winter. Rut the best time of all comes later on, when the apple trees send down thick showers of white petals, and the daisies and buttercups come in armies. They are so very brave looking, and yet they are really not half so bold as the first pale spring flowers. They arc like some people I know. 1 used to live in the southernmost state, where spring comes with a rush, not at all like Thomp- son’s spring. I thought that nothing could be more beautiful than the spring there, with bright yellow jessamine everywhere, and magnolias and the china berry trees all purple. I did not know as much then as I do now. I like the Northern spring best. It’s more civilized, and is really more beautiful, coming as it does after the great 'whiteness of the Northern winter. tlbe doctor’s Storv? By Bones X. jHaiuib, '12 HE most interesting adventure I ever experienced,” said a young doctor, “happened while I was abroad.” A group of men were gathered around the fireside of a club, telling stories of adventures in which they themselves had participated. They knew that the doctor’s stories were always interesting, and they settled themselves for a good story. “A few years ago,” continued the doctor. 1 went abroad to regain my health. The vessel I sailed on was bound for Naples, but we stopped at Gibraltar to take on some passengers. Among them was a young Italian nobleman, for whom I was fortunate enough to do a small favor, and we became great friends. He was of a very nervous temperament, and told me he had just toured the world for his health and was returning to his home in Turin. He said he was greatly in- terested in sculpture, in fact it was his hobby. He showed me some beautiful statues which he had collected on his travels and which he was taking back with him to adorn his home. I became greatly interested in him, and was glad to accept his invitation to stay at his home while I was in Turin. “The estate on which he lived was very beauti- ful. On each side of the portico of the castle were situated two immense pieces of statuary. As we entered I saw that the rooms were principally adorned with statues. Each room seemed to sur- pass the other in its beauty. When we came to the drawing-room I could do nothing but gaze in astonishment. Valuable pieces of sculpture could 232 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR be seen everywhere. I had never seen such beau- tiful pieces of workmanship. As he led me to the different objects he told me their history. One corner was noticeable for the absence of a statue, particularly as it was an excellent position for one. About two-thirds down from the ceiling was a shelf on which nothing was placed. My friend saw my look of wonder, and explained to me why that corner was empty. “ 'When I moved into this house about six months ago,’ he said, ‘this corner was one of the places where I put a statue. The next morning when I went to the drawing-room I found the statue, which I had placed on the shelf the preced- ing day, on the floor broken. I thought it had slipped by some accident, and I placed another statue on the same shelf. That night when I again visited the drawing-room I was surprised to sec that the statue in the corner was lying broken on the floor. This time 1 called the servants and asked if any of them had broken the statue, but they all denied having touched it. I tried the shelf and found that it was securely fastened. I then placed another statue there, and after fastening the windows left the room and locked it after me. The next morning on entering the room I was amazed to find that the new statue had fallen on the floor. Since then I have not placed anything on that shelf, and have not solved the mystery even to this day.’ “After telling me this my host led me to my room to dress for dinner. When lie had left me I sat down and pondered on what I had heard. I determined to find out the cause. At the table I told my host that I should like to try to solve the mystery. He said he would be delighted to have me do so, and at my request he put another statue on the shelf. Then he turned on the electric light, as it was gettiitg dark; and we both sat down. After we had waited for several hours my host rang the bell for the servant. All at once we heard a crash, and saw the statue on the floor. The servant came in at that moment, and the young Italian told him that he could retire for the night. I then set about solving the mystery. After the servant had left the room my host and I went over to the corner where the broken statue lay on the floor. I examined the shelf very closely, but could find nothing that could cause the statue to fall. I then moved mv hand over the wall above the shelf, and felt something sharp. At first I thought it was a nail, but on closer examina- tion I found what looked like two ends of cut wire. Then I went into the hall, and sure enough, just as I thought, hidden in the corner of the panel was a wire. I traced the wire to an electric light. I found that when any statue was placed on the shelf it came in contact with the wire, and that when- ever the light in the hall was turned on it sent along this wire an electric current, the force of which was sufficient to knock the statue from the shelf. When the young nobleman rang for the servant the latter, before entering, had turned on the light in the hall, and this had caused the statue to fall. We afterwards found that the people who had lived there before kept in that corner a curi- ously-wrought lamp which was lighted by turning on the light in the hall. When the lamp had been disconnected the wire had not been taken away.” JSert XUalfcron (Continued from page 229.) steadily they regained their former place at the side of the Hurst. But they didn't linger there. Bert had passed the man in the stern and was opposite the man in the bow. Then the contest began! It was so exciting that the entire mob was hushed. Bert felt his strength failing, but threw himself back and kept to his work. Dan had almost given up long ago, and was now more hindrance than use. Casting a glance backward, Bert saw the Hurst gaining more and more until it was even with his own. Just two lengths and the race was over. Bert was pretty well discouraged when the Hurst got a trifle ahead, but from the shoutings of the crowd he distinctly heard two girlish voices call out: “Keep it up, Bert! You can do itf We must have the banner!” How it happened not even Bert knew, but his strength seemed to come back just long enough for him to send his canoe past the Hurst and— win the race! Bert Waldron was the hero of the day! The other races were insignificant compared to this one, for hadn’t Bert won the championship for his crowd and for the two girls waving from a rear seat?

It is not a new bereavement, but one which time has mellowed, that prompts our nation to observe such holiday. Above every patriot’s mould God’s sunshine has smiled and nature has wept her tears of requiem. Over the humblest grave she has bidden some grasses grow, some vines creep, and the butterfly, emblem of immortal life, has waved his wings over every soldier’s grave. Difficult, indeed, to pay fitting tribute to our heroic veterans, either departed or living. But those who remain speak best for themselves and their departed comrades. Their scar-covered bodies, their halting step, their tattered ensigns, their flag of glory which never knew defeat, speak more eloquently than can any tongue or pen. It were useless here to attempt to extol the deeds of valor and of sacrifice done in the great Civil war. That is a task for worthier pens. But now half a century has gone since the smoke of that strife obscured the horizon, and since then the world has been compelled to look with admira- tion upon our nation, and to praise her for what she has done. After that tremendous struggle of four years which arrested the attention of every civilized nation. Columbia has returned to the peaceful pursuits of civil life. There is something great, beyond description, in this unrivaled spectacle. A few months before, and the earth resounded with the clash of armed legions, mightier and more numerous than any that Europe had as- sembled for centuries; and yet, the war over, there is no trace of this colossal conflict in the bearing of the people. And where arc the soldiers, the officers, the heroes of this protracted struggle? They have settled down to the ordinary pur- suits of life. Go where you will, in field or mine, in workshop, in factory, in store, office, editorial room, or seat of learning, you behold—now absorbed in honest toil and patient industry or delving into musty tombs—the men who, as officers or privates, a few months since were engaged in desperate strife. What greater proof than this could soldiers give the world of the true motives for their fighting? This is our heroes’ greatest achievement. Inventions may be forgotten; newness of dis- covery may fade as it floats down the river of life; the voice of the victor’s fame, like the sound of his battles, may die away in time; but the soldier’s sacrifice will live forever. Hence, if any great figure in history is to have statues set up in his honor, let it be the soldier. He has chosen to do his best in the field against our enemies. He is deserving of commemoration in marble, because he offered his ability, his life, not merely for the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 23 s men and women of his time, but for those of all times, as long as this nation stands and the ban- ner of freedom floats above our institutions. We may say what we will about the heroism of the statesman, but it is another affair altogether to stay at the front with the daily expectation of being brushed out of existence by a cannon ball or bored through by a bullet. The soldier has given himself that you and I and millions after us may live in a peaceful and united land; and every year that beholds the country increase in prosperity and power in- creases our debt to the man who offered him- self for us in the wars. Set up memorials, then, all over the land to those whose blood has con- secrated a hard-fought field; visit the cemeteries on Memorial Day; strew the soldiers' graves with flowers, and place the flag for which they fought over their soldiery dust; for beneath these moulds lie men who fought not for fame, nor for power, nor for money, but for the Union. Veterans, whether the thoughtless heed your sacrifice or not your memory will be held in bene- diction by your indebted country, and your com- rades who died in battle, in prison, in the swamps, will live forever in the hearts of a grateful people. Heroes of our country and our flag, may happi- ness and peace be yours in your declining years, and may the United States continue to be, to prosper, and to progress, and the flag for which you fought continue to wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. v at v The Radiator management has had bound two complete files of the Radiator from its first issue. These may be seen in the Radiator office and at the school office. With the kind aid of Mr. George L. Baxter, Mr. Hosmer, Miss Merrill, and of former Editor-in-chief W. A. Maynard, of the Reporter, the management has been able to complete, this work so long desired. These files will be found useful for reference. They contain the only chronological record of athletics and other events connected with the High Schools during the past twenty years; and each June number contains a school directory for the year. ► V. V, v. We take this occasion to remind our readers that the June Radiator will be sold by subscrip- tion only; also that all matter for this number must be received on or before June 1. A num- ber of contributions to “The Letter Box would be acceptable. Subscription for this number is twenty-five cents, to be paid on or before June 6 . It is, per- haps. unnecessary to remind the Seniors that there is no pleasanter souvenir of graduation than a copy of the June Radiator. V V v v Only four important events remain on the school calendar; namely, the Junior dance. Class Day, Senior reception, and last, but not least, graduation. To the Seniors, who have but little more school life, these events mean much. 'flic last few weeks of school are trying ones. Warm weather is trying in school, and the spring fever finds many victims there. But school work is as important or more so in the last term as in any other part of the year. “All’s well that ends well.” V. Vr V. V One short month to graduation. And then we know not what. For four long years we have been looking forward to this one event, and now that it is almost here, we find ourselves unpre- pared. What can we alone do in this great world? How are we to attain the goal of all men’s desires when so many are before us in the field? These and many other queries, together with thoughts of sundering our associations and leaving these familiar walls, well nigh discourage us and will serve as the only cloud upon happy commence- ment days. Would that we could but look into the distant future, and see the result of the great battle. 236 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR DOMI Class 5)a anb Class Wight June J1 and 11 arc the dates set for Class Day and Class Night respectively.

SbOW The annual dramatic effort of the Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity was given on Friday and Satur- day evenings, April 20 and 27, in Unitarian hall. The presentation this year was a lyrical lay in one act and three scenes, entitled “The Come Backs.” The show was in every way a great suc- cess. The hall was taxed to its full capacity on both evenings, and the work of the actors met with frequent and unstinted applause. After the show dancing was enjoyed, and refreshments were served in the lower hall. S. 1b. 5. Debaters Speak 'flic success of The Town Meeting,” given by the Winter Dill Improvement Association on Tuesday, May 7, was greatly enhanced by the work of the members of the Somerville High School 1912 debating team, who spoke on sev- eral of the various humorous questions discussed. Though invited on short notice, they contributed greatly to the entertainment. The following letter was received by Mr. Hatch, of the faculty, from the committee in charge:— Winter Hill Improvement Association, “Somerville, Mass., May 9, 1912. “Roy W. Hatch, “Somerville High School, “Somerville, Mass. Dear Mr. Hatch: May I ask you to extend to the boys of the debating team and those taking part in the singing the thanks of the Winter Hill Improvement Association.

Lane, Assistants j Carlton Wiswell. Where has the spirit for the Junior track team gone? This class has made the poorest showing of any so far. It seems a shame to drop the sport, but the teachers cannot do all. After many of them, especially Mr. Hatch, have done so much toward making the sport what it is, it seems a pity that we do not back them, as a rebate for their earnest work, in coming out for practice. Think it over, 1913. There's one Senior that can talk anyway. Eh, Frank? Who did you vote for, Jack, “Teddy” or Bill?” S-s-s-st! Sh---------------! Hark! Aha!!! It’s them! The Gold Dust twins? No!

All its material is excellent, but why not introduce appropriate cuts for your depart- ments? The Sassamon (Natick) is a good exchange. Why not start an exchange department? “Zodilla,” in the Pinkerton Critic (Derry. X. I I.) has aroused our interest greatly. We are anxious for the conclusion. The exchange column of the Dinosaur (Lara- mie, Wyom.) is too long. Otherwise the paper is good.

The game was played on the City field diamond, as the Recreation field was altogether too wet for use. Somerville had the better of the Woburn aggregation throughout the game, and maintained a lead in every inning except the fourth, when a series of errors allowed the visitors to cross the plate four times. The batting of the Red and Blue was noticeable. G. Weafer was found for a total of twelve hits, in- cluding two doubles and a triple. Scanned, who was on the mound for Somerville up to the eighth inning, displayed fine form, allowing only four hits. Whittaker replaced him in the eighth, and showed evidence of his great playing of last spring. At the bat Leland was easily the star of the Somer- ville nine, getting four clean singles out of five times up. Hoban and Quimby also played well. For Woburn, Roche and G. Weafer excelled.

April 24, Somerville High was defeated by Melrose High in a hotly- contested Suburban League game, which went for twelve innings, Melrose finally pulling out ahead, 2 to 1. The game was the first to be played on the new Somerville Field, which was in excellent condition, and was found much more satisfactory than expected. The feature play of the game was contributed by Cheissong, of Melrose, in the ini- tial inning, when he smashed Walter Whittaker’s first delivery squarely into the brook. 310 feet from the plate, for the circuit of the bases. Whether such a feat was possible had been a mat- ter of speculation to the High School boys, and Cheissong’s beautiful drive settled the question then and there. The game was wed played, and although errors were not infrequent, the contest was decidedly worth watching. If it was a true indication of what is to come. Suburban League baseball will be of a high order. Whittaker’s pitching was excellent, seventeen- Melrose batsmen fanning under his masterly de- livery. Due to the fact that it was his first game, he lost control a few times, passing four men and allowing seven hits. His team mates supported him wed at critical moments, and handled the bad in good shape. Norton and Robertson were prominent among the infielders. Leland accepted his two chances without an error, and Iloban’s catching was good. The batting was of a poor quality—especially poor for a team supposed -to be composed of good hitters. Young Ross al- lowed only two hits, and held the Somerville bats- men under his hand. Although only eight mere fanned, the drives of the local boys were wed taken care of by classy work, and very few reached' second base. Altogether, Somerville’s stick work was a disappointment and cost them the game. On the Melrose team Ross’ pitching and fielding- were prominent, and Cheissong’s work on the initial sack was excellent. Peabody excelled at •the bat, getting two singles, one more than any one else could do. After Cheissong’s homer in the first inning, Mel- rose tried hard to tally again, but the Somerville nine got down to business in dead earnest, and fast playing sprang into evidence. In the second pe- riod Merrill, of Melrose, drew a pass and was sac- rificed to second. He was unable to advance, as Whittaker fanned Lans and Ross popped up an easy fly to Robertson, making the third out. Peabody started the third when he reached first 244 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR on Quiniby’s muff of Hoban’s throw. He was forced out at second on Cheissong’s grounder, which resulted in a pretty double play, Norton to Quimby. The fourth was uneventful for Melrose, but Somerville set things going. With one out, Nor- ton was safe at first on Holt's poor throw. A mo- ment later he stole second, and went to third on Mitchell’s out. Deitcr to Cheissong. Leland was right on the job. and drove a grounder over sec- ond base, scoring Norton with Somerville’s only- tally. Leland stole second, but Robertson retired the side with an easy grounder to Ross. Melrose was dangerous again in the seventh, when Holt smashed out a hot drive that Whittaker couldn't hold, and stole second. Lans and Ross fanned, and Peabody singled, sending Holt to third. Chances were good, but Cheissong spoiled everything by lining the ball straight into Robert- son's hands for the third out. Merrill started the ninth with a single to left, and Holt sacrificed him to second. Lans dupli- cated Holt’s performance, sending Merrill to third. Whittaker then passed Ross. With men on third and first, Peabody struck out. but Hoban dropped the third strike and refused to take a chance throwing to first. ‘‘Home run Cheissong fol- lowed Peabody, and he caught Whittaker’s out- shoot on the end of the bat, sending a high fly to Tight field which McQuinn handled in fine style, much to the relief of the Somerville rooters. The winning run came in the twelfth. With one out, Wentzell singled over second base and Luciano allowed the ball to get past him, Wentzell advancing to second. Brady then sent a hot grounder to Norton, who threw wild to Quimby, causing the latter to ‘‘fall all over himself.” Meanwhile Wentzell was rounding third and on the home stretch, coming in on full steam. ■Quimby picked up the ball, finally saw Wentzell half way to the plate, and then heaved the ball past Hoban to the bleachers, while Wentzell romped across the plate into his team mates’ arms.

April 27. For ten long innings Fahey and Whittaker took turns in mowing down the oppos- ing batsmen, and the game was anybody’s until, in the last half of the extra period, John Mitchell slammed the ball over Centre Fielder Day’s head into the brook, which gave him the circuit of the bases and also the winning run. Mitchell was carried off the field on the shoulders of the exult- ing Somerville rooters. Whittaker, who was on the mound for Somer- ville. deserves great credit for the masterly game he pitched. Twelve men fanned before his curves, and he allowed only one base on balls and three hits. Whenever Medford showed signs of ap- proaching tallies, Walter tightened up and saved the day more than once by pitching gilt-edged ball SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 245 at critical moments. His fielding was very good; he made a neat put-out and seven assists. Mitchell at third base also starred, making four put-outs and an assist while in the field, and dis- tinguished himself for all time by smashing out his homer in the tenth inning. Luciano had the dis- tinction of being the only Somerville player to steal a base. Hoban showed a strong tendency to drop Whittaker’s curves, and three times al- lowed the third strike to get past him. making it necessary to throw to first. This trick allowed Whittaker to strike out four men in the ninth in- ning. For Medford. Fahey pitched an excellent game, striking out thirteen men. and allowing the Som- erville batters only two hits. He got a trifle care- less in the ninth inning when he hit Norton, but did not give a single base on balls. His team mates played an errorless game, only three Som- erville players reaching first base, Luciano and Mitchell on clean hits, and Norton, the victim of an inshoot. With this fine playing, Medford should mathematically have been the winner, but baseball games are not decided in this manner. Bradish, Early, and Twomblev also played well. Medford was the first to bat, and Twomblev started off with an easy grounder to Whittaker, who threw poorly to Quimbv. Twomblev then stole second, assisted by a wild heave of Whit’s.” Walter tightened up then, and Early was only able to pop up an easy fly to Mitchell, while Donncllan was thrown out at first, Whittaker to Quimbv. Fahey was the next batter, and struck out amidst the cheers of the Somerville rooters. The second and third innings were uneventful, but Medford looked dangerous in the fourth. With no one out, Donnellan was safe at first on Norton’s poor throw. Fahey came to scratch with a single to left, sending Donncllan to second. Day hit an easy grounder to Whit.” who threw to Mitchell, forcing out Donnellan at third. Fahey was now dodging around the second sack. Whittaker mistook him for Robertson, and threw the ball over the base out to centre field. Fahey started for third, but Luciano headed him off by a pretty throw, and Mitchell got Fahey a few inches off the sack. Lawless drew the curtain by fan- ning. The first time that a Somerville player reached first was in the fifth, when Luciano singled with two out, and stole second. He was unable to ad- vance, as Quimbv closed the inning by striking out. In the seventh Medford got a man as far as third. With one down. Lawless walked and went to second on a passed ball. Condon hit a grounder to Norton, and was safe when Ouimby muffed the throw. Condon stole second, but Frazier and Bradish fell victims to Whittaker's pitching, and Medford failed to score. Neither side had any more opportunities to score up through the nine innings, and the Med- ford batsmen went out in short order in their half of the tenth. Mitchell was the first man up for Somerville, and started by sending several fouls over the stand into the boulevard. Then he found the ball he was looking for, and sent it far over Day’s head to the edge of the brook, whence it rolled gently into the water, while Mitchell was carried off the field on the shoulders of his friends.

May 1. Everett was superior in all departments of the game, and their stick work put the Somer- ville boys completely in the shade. When the final curtain was drawn Somerville High was on the short end of an 8 to 3 victory for the Gas City boys, who departed homeward in great joy. The game was featured by two home runs, both Bold and Luciano sending long drives into left field, which finally rolled into Alewifc Brook. Robertson drove a beautiful triple out to deep centre, and Whittaker, Jones, and J. Bricklcy each contributed a two-bagger. Bold, of Ever- ett, was especially prominent, getting three hits out of four times up, and his work at the initial sack was very good. For Everett, Bold, Pierotti, and Borlin excelled, and Xorton and Robertson, of Somerville, were worthy of mention. The wretched umpiring of Evans was the worst element f the game. His decisions were decid- edly off color. In the ninth inning both McQuinn and Leland were called out at the first sack, al- though both of them clearly beat the throw. Everett started the fireworks in the opening period, when, with one out, Jones drove a two- bagger t; centre field. G. Bricklcy laid down a pretty sacrifice, and Iloban slipped in handling it. Brickley stole second on the next ball. Bold emptied the bases, and also added three tallies to the Everett slate, with a home run hit into the brook. The visitors almost scored in the second. With one down, J. Brickley gathered two sacks on a long drive to the right garden. Murray sent a grounder to Robertson, and Quimby dropped the latter’s throw, but recovered the bail just in time to catch Brickley at the plate. Mur- ray was forced out at second on Bratt’s grounder to Norton. Somerville scored once in the third inning, when Robertson started off with a triple to centre. Leland went out, Murray to Bold, but Luciano brought home Robertson by a grounder to Jones, who threw out Luciano at first. In the fourth another Somerville tally came in. With two out, Robertson walked and stole second. Leland then sent a hot grounder just inside the third sack. Everett argued that the ball was foul, but Evans refused to change his decision. Meanwhile Leland had reached second and Robertson had crossed the plate and was re- posing on the bench. Luciano closed the inning by fanning. Three more. Everett runs resulted in the fifth on four hits. Murray led off with a grounder to Whittaker, who slipped on the wet grass. On a wild pitch Bratt went out on an easy grounder which Iloban threw to Quimby, and Jones fanned. G. Brickley scored Murray on a single over second base, and stole second on the next ball. Bold singled past third base, sending Brickley home, and reached third himself as Le- land threw to Iloban in an attempt to get Brick- lcy. Campbell brought in Bold on a hot grounder which Mitchell couldn’t hold, but iloban caught Campbell stealing second by a neat throw to Norton which retired the side. Somerville’s lucky seventh produced but one run, a homer by Luciano, which made Somer- ville’s third and final tally. Everett added her last two runs in the eighth inning. Bold began by driving the ball past Mitchell, then stole second, and reached third on a passed ball. Campbell fanned and Borlin walked and stole second. Pierotti singled over second base, bringing in both men, and Luciano picked up the ball and threw home to catch Bor- lin. but Whittaker intercepted the ball and threw to Norton, who nailed Pierotti attempting to reach second. J. Brickley retired the side by fanning. Everett tried hard to tally again in the ninth, but her efforts were unavailing, and the final score was: Everett, 8; Somerville, 3.

Somerville, S ; JBrocfeton, 2 In an interesting game at Somerville Field on Saturday afternoon, May 1, Somerville succeeded in downing Brockton High by the score of 8 to 2. For the first time the new ground rules were put in force: Any ball now batted directly into the brook without first hitting within the field entitles the batsman to a home run; any other ball roll- ing or bounding into the water is good only for three bases. This new ruling deprived Mitchell of another homer, when in the third inning he smashed the ball beyond reach of the left fielder into Alcwife Brook. The Somerville line-up presented several changes. Holmes being in the box. West taking Quimby’s place at the first sack, McQuinn re- placing Hoban behind the bat, and hittaker playing right field. Holmes pitched a steady game, allowing only one hit, while his opponent, Thompson, was found for twelve bingles. includ- ing a triple and two doubles. est got his first chance of the season, and certainly made good. He was credited with sixteen put-outs, and made only one error, the result of a poor throw from Holmes. West also got two singles out of four times up. McQuinn also played well, taking care of Carl Holmes' delivery in good shape. hit- taker proved that he was as good a fielder as a pitcher, and gave a first-class exhibition of the proper manner of taking care of the right field garden. At the bat Norton starred, as he made five clean hits out of as many times at bat. Whit- taker was a close second, making three singles and stealing two bases. As a whole, the team showed great improve- ment. particularly in batting. Besides the twelve men who connected with Thompson’s delivery for hits, six other players reached first, which is the best record thus far, with the exception of the Woburn game. If this kind of stick work can be kept up, good results are sure to follow. In the field the playing was good, although there were several errors which might have proved costly, had the Brockton players been good hit- ters. Luciano totally misjudged one fly, and Ice- land and Robertson both dropped hit balls. On the Brockton team Spillane was the only man to get a hit. while McGlincey and Sullivan played well in the field.

Somerville slipped one over on Kludge on May 11. winning by the score of 2 to 1. From start to finish the game was nip and tuck, with Rindge walloping the ball in good shape, but stilt unable to make her hits count. Young Scanned, who was on the mound for the Red and Blue, got into several difficult holes, from which lie was rescued by the efforts of his team mates, who put up gilt-edged ball. For once Somerville made fewer errors than her opponents, and the clean fielding of the Somerville boys was worthy of praise. The whole trouble lay in the stick work, which was way off color. Smith, who pitched a steady game for Rindge, was found for only three bingles, and one of them, which was smashed by Mitchell, would have been an easy out if it had not struck Smith in the foot and bounced 248 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR out of reach. Whittaker, however, got a beauty triple out to deep centre, and could not have placed it better. Leland also drove a beautiful fly ball between centre and right-field, which, ordinarily, would have gone for a home run, but Hubbard speared it in major league fashion, and doubled Robertson at first. I'or Somerville. Leland. West, and Whittaker excelled. West played his second game on the initial sack, and not a single error was chalked up against him. Leland covered the left field terri- tory in great shape, getting one foul fly in a sen- sational manner after a long run. His batting was good, as it was his timely single which brought Whittaker across the plate in the lucky seventh. Whittaker played well in right field, and was right on deck at the bat. Kellehcr, White, Carr, and O’Riley did good work for kindge. Rindge failed to start anything in the opening period, but got Scannell into hot water in the second. Krigger, first man, singled and stole second. White drove a grounder to Norton, who fumbled it. Kirgger going to third. White stole second. Scannell then used good head work, and both Kenney and Sullivan lifted up easy flies, without scoring Krigger. This was more than the latter could stand, and he made a desperate attempt to pilfer the home plate in broad day- light. He came home like a dark streak shoot- ing through a white cloud, but ScanneU’s throw beat him, and McQuinn got him close to the rub- ber amid sundry exclamations. Rindge had another chance in the fourth inning when, with one out, Kelleher tripled. Scannell repeated his former stunt, and Krigger and White flied out to Mitchell and Leland, thus preventing a score. Somerville had a chance in the last of the fourth, but Whittaker queered it by attempting to reach third from second on Robertson's grounder to the shortstop. Robertson was doubled when Hubbard nailed Leland’s hard drive to the right garden. Rindge got her only tally in the fifth. The first man up, Kenney, singled, and Sullivan sacrificed him to second. O’Riley sent an easy grounder to Mitchell, who refused to get rid of the ball. O’Riley reaching first safely. Smith drew a pass, filling the bases, and Carr drove a Texas leaguer to left field, scoring Kenney. O’Riley made a good try to come in on the hit, but Leland headed him off by a perfect throw to McQuinn. Hubbard retired the side by sending up a high foul, which Leland got after a desperate chase, receiving a round of applause sufficient to make an ordinary man blush. Somerville's- chance came in the seventh, which Whittaker started with a three-bagger to centre- field. Robertson flied out. and Leland did the hero act again by scoring Whittaker on a line drive to right. Leland stole second as Luciano fanned. West then sent a grounder to Kenney, who threw wild to Sullivan, and Leland, aided by Arthur Quimby’s coaching at third,' reached home with the winning run after a beautiful sprint from the second sack. He beat the throw by a matter of inches, and received an ovation when he reached the bench. Coacher Quimby also came in for unstinted words of praise for his good work of the Mexican variety. --------— SomcnMUe Ibigb, 7; Cambridge ibigb anb Xattn, l In a game featured by two home-run hits squarely into the brook, Somerville defeated Cambridge Latin at the Somerville field on Wednesday afternoon, May 15. The Somerville lads got their batting eye adjusted, and handed the ball eleven good clouts, including two homers, a triple, and eight singles. Norton and Leland were the batsmen who succeeded in duplicating Cheissong’s stunt of driving the ball into the water, and Leland also made the triple, boosting his batting average to the clouds. Stuart got his first tryout, and pitched well, allowing only five hits. His stick work was of a high order, as he got three bingles out of four times up. Lynch got his second tryout, replacing Hoban in the sev- enth inning, and putting up a good game behind the bat. Quimby was welcomed back at first base, and demonstrated that his vacation had re- sulted in considerable improvement. Out of four times up he walked twice, popped up a fly. and got a pretty single to right field. He handled the ball in errorless fashion, making ten put-outs. Whittaker and Norton were worthy of high men- tion. For Cambridge J. Dee and McCarthy played well. Green was the only visitor to get two hits. The summary:— Batteries—For Somerville. Stuart. Hoban. and Lynch: for Cambridge, McCarthy and Green. Innings .............12345G789 Somerville II.

Whittaker pitched in great form, shutting out the local boys by the score of o to 0. The whole Somerville team backed him up well, playing an errorless game, and, much to the surprise and delight of the twelve Somerville rooters present, fell on Flanders' delivery for eight hits. Leland placed himself in the hall of fame by putting the ball clean over the right field fence in the eighth in- ning, a feat that has seldom been accomplished. Norton and Mitchell also came in for two-bag- gers. ----------------------------- Sportino Cbat Our new diamond is pretty good, after all. We need some dressing rooms now. Cheissong’s hit was certainly a corker. It was odd that “Whit's” first delivery should be the vic- tim of that awful smash. That Medford game was a pitchers' battle from start to finish. To see Walter Whittaker and Fahey pitted against each other was a real treat. And John Mitchell's home run in the twelfth was the finishing touch to a great game. Yes, the Everett team did LOOK like a back- woods aggregation, but what they made Somer- ville look like is too sad to relate. Mr. Blodgett is making great and strenuous efforts to arouse some baseball ability among the members of the team, and wants the Athletic As- sociation to offer a prize to the player reaching first base the greatest number of times. The daily standing of the players will be posted on a large chart in the school, and such a competition ought to liven things up a little. At the time of writing, the track team is having difficulties. The Seniors and Sophomores have .succeeded in getting a few men out for practice on Tufts Oval, but the Juniors are still missing. Show some spirit! The track meet is coming soon, and we want to see a good representation. If we begin something this year, next year’s team cannot fail to be a good one. Now get busy and visit Tufts Oval every afternoon! The sporting editor intends to compile a list of the “Cobbs” and “Speakers” who succeed in driv- ing the ball into Alewife Brook.

IRoflers J see a castle on a towering crag Whose slender turrets, gilded by the dawn, O’erlook a fertile plain which, like a map, Rolls from the darkling forest at their base. And now upon the morning air are borne The sounds of hurrying feet, and sharp command, And laughter half-subdued, the clash of arms, And all the busy undertone of life, Which throngs the castle yard in rainbow hues. The cheery clamor shortly dies away; All eyes, as if by common impulse led, Upon an iron-studded door are turned, Where, curbed and saddled, stands a neighing o o steed. The ponderous oaken weight, revolving slow Upon its creaking hinge, reveals a youth ‘Who, for an instant dazzled by the light. Stands on the threshold of the chapel dim, Where all the night in vigil he has passed. And now from out the portal steps a knight With silver hair and richly ’broidered robe; Within his hands a sword and casque he bears,— The sword he girds upon the youth; the helm He gives up to the keeping of a squire. Then, lovingly, before the throng he folds The youth in his embrace, and gently speaks:— “My son. thou goest now to win thy spurs, And in the bitter conflict of the world To test thy skill and strength. Remember then What thou hast learned. Ever for glory strive, But in the strife be ever true and just. And then the youth, impatient to be gone. Leaps to his horse, and followed by his squire. Rides through the cheering crowd unto the gate. But ere he gains the shadow of the wall A hand is laid upon his own, a voice Speaks at his side in accents low and calm:— My lord, who wast my pupil; hear these words. Proved in life's crucible to be pure gold. And hearken to thy conscience as thy king, Obey its mandates as the law of laws, Its faintest whisperings as high commands; Humbly then wilt thou respect thyself, And gain the world’s esteem and heaven’s love.” The priestly words in benediction fall. And with a thoughtful, yet courageous, mien Beneath the echoing portal rides the youth, And looks not back, but toward the glowing east, Where lies the world; and in his face there shines The light of hope, the glory of the sun. Thus, classmates, let us face the unknown world, Keeping in mind and treasuring in our hearts The counsels of the knight and aged priest. Let us for glory strive, the common good. And in the strife be ever true and just. True to ourselves as in our conscience clear. While in our face shines the sun of life. J. WILLIAM PARKS, Class Day Orator. MEYRIC R. ROGERS, Poet. GEORGE E.

TCUlliam paths When half-civilized man began to take account of public concerns, lie was controlled by a single leader, arbitrary in character and military in method. This leader was at once executive, law- maker. and judge. As civilization advanced a spirit of justice seemed to spring up in the heart of man. He denounced despotism as a mode of government in dealing with barbarians. Human nature taught him that he was now capable of demanding justice. 11 is demands were resisted, but after years of ardent fighting and great suffer- ing. he obtained equality and liberty. To-day we are told by eminent men that a definite stage in our civilization has just drawn to a close. We are in the midst of a new era. The history of the nineteenth century shows us that great material and political advancements have been made. But most striking in all this advance movement is the political development of a form of government called Democracy. At the open- ing of the nineteenth century democracy was in its infancy. The civilized nations of the world entered a century of development such as the world had never seen. The horrors of the French Revolution were fresh in the minds of men. Germany was governed by an absolute monarchy. In England a constitutional oligarchy was in full power. The United States, which had just risen from the cradle of liberty, was looked upon by the European nations as a disorganized group of individuals. How different the scene at the close of that century. In France, after a period of horror, a stable republic had been established which has continued. In England and Germany the spirit and government had become more democratic. The United States, contrary to the predictions of the critics, had made the greatest development of all. The governmental framework constructed by our ancestors for the need of a few million people, had expanded to meet the demands of a popula- tion nearly twenty times as large. It had with- stood the shock of the greatest civil war in the world’s history. It had promoted a development of civilization in which there was an equality of opportunity for all. It had established the great- est democracy the world had ever known. The rise of democracy has been great, man is studying this form of government as never before. The United States of America is the conspicuous example of this form of government. The land of opportunity, the land of liberty and justice, it is the mccca of thousands of foreigners. Here they have found democracy not only to be the form of government, but the spirit of growth, of progress, and of development. Here they have found a nation which has grown from poverty to great riches. Its educational equipment includes a public school system which provides to rich and poor an equal education. Its material equipment of railway, steamship, telephone, and the like makes it a leader in the march of human progress. In spite of all these advancements, we are told by eminent men that our government has not ac- complished its aim. that so-called government of the people does not exist, that it is a government of and is controlled by certain individuals: that there is great corruption in our politics. We are told, in other words, that after one hundred and thirty-five years of experience our government has failed. It is true that our government is far from perfect, either in form or administration. We have faults, both as a nation and a people. But can we truthfully say that our government is a failure? Can we say that a government of a na- tion which has given so much to the world is a failure? Can we say that a government of a nation which has withstood such trials and troubles is a failure? Can we say that a govern- ment of a nation which holds such a foremost position in the world of nations is a failure? No, our government is not a failure, but we must admit that there is something wrong with it. and the real cause of that something wrong is lack of true citizenship by its people. The forms of equality resting upon true liberty that have not been sufficiently established are easy to name. But surely the remedy is not to be found in tear- ing down the foundation of our government, but rather in clearing away obstructions, and then building more thoughtfully and wisely upon the foundation. It is just here that we find evidence of the close connection between education and democracy. When man was governed by a single leader, it was not necessary that he should be educated, for he had no voice in the government. But as man gradually obtained control of that government, he SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR realized that liberty depended upon the intel- ligence of the people. And so to-day we realize that true citizenship depends upon the education of our people, not alone in general, practical, or even vocational lines, but education in the duties and responsibilities of citizens. Tf vc desire to have true, honest, and efficient representation in our government, if we desire to drive out corrup- tion. and the feeling amongst our people that politics is connected with graft, politics must become a prominent feature in the education of our people. This is not chiefly a question of knowledge; it is a question of character. Our government depends upon the moral character of its citizens. In the coming education politics will count among the manly virtues. Our country's interest will tower above party, class, sectional, or selfish interest. As our forefathers stood, musket in hand, to establish our liberty, and our fathers with the same means secured freedom for all. regardless of race or color, the coming citizen will stand, vote in hand, warring against corrup- tion. dishonor, and anything that menaces the public weal. Such a government will work for the interest of all its people. It will produce a peaceful, se- cure, and happy condition of society. It will set an example which the younger nations of this earth will strive to follow. Surely this is a noble- ideal. an ideal for which it is worth while to strive, and to sacrifice much; for our ideal is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Classmates: The great question of citizenship comes home to each of us at this hour, as we stand where the curtain seems falling upon the past, to rise upon a future whose vista is not yet clearly defined, for the citizen of the next quarter century is to-day in the graduating classes of our schools. Rut let us not be faint-hearted; some of the weapons we need for the fray are already at hand from the lessons we have learned. Let us take with us faithfulness; to each duty, to each purpose. Xo enterprise so magnificent, no project, even of the ablest brain, but depends 261 for its execution upon the faithfulness of the army of workers who carry it out in detail. Let us take honesty, not alone the honesty that scorns graft and double dealing, but honesty with ourselves, honesty with our own high pur- poses. Emerson said: “The sky is less grand as it shuts down over less worth in the population.” Classmates, let it not be that this loved spot shall ever smile with less beauty ’neath the blue sky because any member of the class of nineteen hundred and twelve is living unworthily. Let us take respect, reverence for law. for the rights of others, for the principles of the fathers; though conditions have changed under which they were applicable, the vital principle still inheres, and is the best rule of action for the citizen of to-day. Let t:s cherish, too. the noble impulses of this hour. Let not the cynic with his sneer, or the doubter with his shallow criticism make 11s to undervalue the high privilege, the glorious op- portunity. the sacred responsibility of living. Xay. let not even the thought of possible limita- tions within ourselves make us fear. The suc- cessful effort of the future is potentially in the youth of to-day, and who can say to what even unpromising material may attain! Years ago, an awkward lad of eighteen, stand- ing on the deck of a Mississippi steamer, saw for the first time in his life a human being sold as chattel, lie said, as he smote the rail with his Hand: “If ever I get a chance. I’ll smite slavery a good hard blow.” Did he. or anyone else, dream that in later days that hand could sign the proclamation which set free three million slaves, and wrote forever in the heart of every American citizen the name of Abraham Lincoln? If we live faithful, honest lives of high purpose, whether in the public eye or in humble sphere, the results of each will be written in terms of ultimate success. The great and troublesome question of democracy may receive some slight impact, for among the ideal citizens of the coming years will be the class of nineteen hundred and twelve. 262 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1912 Class ©be George £.

Class IDa Exercises The class day exercises of the 1012 class on June 11 were most successful. A grand stand was erected near the flagstaff for the exercises, and th audience was massed in the rotunda of the buildings. When the undergraduate classes were as- sembled. the Seniors marched in procession, and took their places directly in front ot the platform. Mr. Avery in a brief address opened the exer- cises. and introduced as presiding officer Harold M. Jones, president of the Senior class. Mr. Jones welcomed the assembly, and remarked on the unusual significance of the oc- casion. in that it was the first class day of the reunited Somerville High School, and also the sixtieth anniversary of the school. He introduced, as speaker, Robert Luce, lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts. Mr. Luce spoke of some of the changes in the school, but the school spirit survived unchanged. At the close of Mr. Luce’s remarks Mr. Jones introduced Miss Ruth Lufkin, winner in the com- petition for the school song. The entire school sang the song to the air of the “Rattle Hymn of the Republic. William Parks, orator of the class, spoke stirring words upon “Democracy and Citizen- ship.” In behalf of the class Arthur Riley presented a beautiful picture “Alma Mater.” Misses Agnes Cameron and Etta Rowe uncovered the picture. Mr. Avery accepted the gift in behalf of the school. The Glee Chib, led by William Parks, next ren- dered a selection. The class poet, Meyrie Rogers, was then intro- duced. and read his poem. Veritas Virtusque.” Miss Maud Fuller, chairman of the Ivy com- mittee. spoke of the custom of ivy planting, and told that he ivy came from Harvard. The commit- tee then planted the ivy. Mr. Jones presented the spade to Chaunccy Cosgrove, president of the Junior class, and the class colors to Clayton Ellis, president of jhe Freshman class. George Molen, class odist, read the ode, which was sung by the Senior class. Closing tlie exercises were the cheers, begin- ning with the Seniors, followed by the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. As a closing num- ber. the whole school joined in the Somerville High School cheer. Altogether the exercises were of exceptionally high character and well carried out. The day will be long remembered by the Senior class. SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL DADIATOR 263 Class ITUcjbt Owing to the large number of pupils in the class of 11)12. and insufficient accommodations in the present school building, the Senior class secured Unitarian Hall for their Class Night, which was held Friday evening, June 14. The committee in charge included President Harold M. Jones, James W illiam Parks. Meyrie Rogers, Robert Nugent, Ivtta Rowe. Blanche Brookes: Miss Bertha A. Raymond.of the faculty. From 7.30 to 8 o'clock an informal reception was enjoyed, after which the entertainment began with a piano solo by Grace Safford. Then followed the interesting and unique Class History, in which the lecturers told of the wonderful and unusual mov- ing picture reel. It represented the experience of 000 actors and actresses for four years of hard work, with the expenditure of fabulous sums of money to complete the reel. Part 1, entitled: “Learning to run things.” was given by Blanche Brookes. Part 2, entitled: “How to run things,” by Francis J. Mahoney. The Senior classes for many years have looked forward to the pleasure of hearing at their recep- tion a solo from John A. Avery. This year, as usual, his singing was one of the enjoyable and pleasing events to be long remembered by all. The new feature of the Class Reception was the presentation of the play, entitled: “A Summer Night Fantasy,” the cast being made up of the members of the class, and containing school and class hits. The play was arranged by Miss Ray- mond. who has charge of the elocution depart- ment. The cast was as follows: Miss Mabel Freeman, principal of School Dramatic Art and Music. Miss Etta Rowe, principal of School Drama- tic Art and Music. Katherine Kelley...............A famous actress Leonard Rice...............................Pete Johnson George Molcn.............................Rastus Brown Arthur Hall....................Caesar Higgans Josephine Simpson, ) In love j Liza Ann Spades Hazel Batchelder. ) with Pete ( Caroline Black Dorothy Chequer) Lois La Bua j .Gypsies Howard Steele J Walter Whittaker | Harold Lord j-...................Colored servants William Thayer . | Joseph Brodil Guests: Harold Jones, Esther Bent, Ruth Nye.

Arthur Quimby. Accompanists: Gardner Evans, Clarence Hart. The play was followed by an informal enter- tainment, consisting of reminiscences of school days, given by the guests, interspersed with reci- tations and music. The Senior Mandolin Club appeared before the public for the first time. Recitations were given by Mary Foss and Kathcrene Kelley. Joseph Gardner gave an exhibition of toe dancing. Grace Rood and William Parks each sang a solo, and piano solos were rendered by Berna llart and Etta Rowe. Both young ladies composed the se- lection played. The march by Etta Rowe was dedicated to the class of 1!) 12, and Berna I Tart’s selection was dedicated to the Senior play. The programme ended with the singing of the class ode and school song, after which all passed to the hall below, where a bountiful and refresh- ing collation was served by Caterer Goodell, after which dancing was enjoyed by many. Although pupils taking prominent parts during the evening were to be congratulated upon the excellence which characterized their part of the performance, every one participating in the enter- tainment added to the pleasure and success of that never-to-be-forgotten event in the history of the Class of 11)12. Somerville High School—the Senior Reception. 264 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “©16 Ulovse” JS ? 3obn IE. Xavertg, ’12 HAT’S a fine idea. He’ll be siirc to bid on them. And if I know Tom well enough he'll bid till he wins, no matter how much he pays,” said the first. “What if he doesn't bid on them? There is some possibility of his not doing so,” re- plied Joe. “You leave that to me, Joe. Tom will be so excited that he will bid on the first lot put up for sale, and I'll see that these arc the first put up. This will just pay him back for the joke he played •on me the other day. Now, since you were the first to think of the idea, you can make out the papers. Be sure that you make them yellow enough to look old. and have the place, Thomp- son’s old mill. We’ll go there to-night and fix up the place. After you have the bundle ready, give it to me, and I'll see that it gets into the auction- eer’s hands. I know him quite well, and can get him to help us carry out the idea. Remember, I'll see you at the mill to-night. So long.” “So long,” returned Joe. And they parted. The next morning dawned sunny and pleasant. Tom was up at an early hour. He must not be late for that auction sale. He had read, lately, about a man's securing at an auction sale for fifty cents a bundle of papers which turned out later to be worth a million. No, he must not miss this.—the chance of a lifetime. The auction sale was scheduled to begin at nine o'clock, in the building of the American Express Company. It was a rule of the company that “all goods left for one year without being called for were to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder.” During the past year a number of un- claimed packages had been left at the office, and as they had been kept the required time they were to be sold to-day to the highest bidder. Such a sale was jocosely termed “old horse. In some of these sales of “old horse, a few people had been lucky enough to receive more than they paid for, and it was his knowledge of this fact, together with the fact that he had read in a book of a man who had made a fortune by buying a package of papers at an “old horse sale, that induced Tom to try his luck. He had told his friends of his inten- tion, and they, after laughing at him for his foolish- ness. decided to sicken him of his “old horse” ideas. Promptly at nine o’clock the auction sale started. The large room in which it was to be held was filled with people. Some were there to bid. but the majority had come simply out of curiosity. The first article put up was a valise. After a great deal of bartering it was finally dis- possed of to a man for a dollar and a quarter, a sum considerably in advance of the cost of the valise. But the man expected that the contents would more than make up the difference in values. All eyes were turned on him as he pro- ceeded to open it. “Maybe it contains a new suit, or greenbacks,” were two of the many conjectures mysteriously whispered around. But they were soon enlightened, when, as the halves fell apart, it was seen to contain nothing. A titter of laughter went around the room, while the purchaser, very red in the face, disappeared in the throng. The next article put on the block was a package about a foot square. The package was very heavy and many were tempted to bid on it. After a hot contest between three men who were very anxious to obtain it. the package was finally knocked down to one of them for two dollars and seventy-five cents. He excitedly opened his prize, undoubtedly thinking from its weight that it contained gold bricks, but he was disagreeably surprised to find that it contained only sidewalk bricks. There were twelve of them, accompanied by a note stating that they were samples of the kind to be used in con- structing a certain building. The victim hurriedly left the room, after receiving several humorous suggestions from by-standers as to what lie might do with his prize. A small package of papers held together by a rubber band was the next article offered for sale Now was Tom's chance. “Fifty cents, he said. Seventy-five. responded another. One dollar,” promptly replied Tom. Dollar ten, said the other, after some thought. “Two dollars,” answered Tom, immediately. His opponent, seeing that Tom was bound to have the papers at any price, refrained from bid- ding any more, and the papers were given to Tom for two dollars. Not wishing to be subjected to SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 265 the laughter of the crowd if his prize did not turn out as he anticipated, he hurried home with it. There, his fingers trembling with excitement, he removed the band and looked at the papers. His heart sank. Nothing but real estate deeds and mortgages greeted his gaze as he quickly glanced at one after another. They were no good to him. Near the bottom of the pile, however, he noticed a sealed envelope. It evidently contained something more valuable than the rest, else why was the envelope sealed? Tom’s excitement re- turned again as he broke the seal. He pulled out a paper, evidently yellow with age, but if he had examined it more closely he would have dis- covered that it smelled suspiciously of coffee. His heart now beat like a trip hammer, and his fingers trembled, as he held the paper in his hand, and read, Thompson’s old mill. South six feet, cast ten feet, from northwestern corner.’’ He jumped in the air, clapped his hands, and went fairly wild with joy. At last he was rich! Now, what would the fellows say? Regaining control of himself after a while, he picked the paper from the floor, where he had dropped it. Thompson’s old mill. he repeated. That's plain enough. Of course it’s the one by the brook. And with the directions I can easily find the treasure. As soon as it gets dark to-night I'll go there and dig it up. I wonder how much is buried there !” The afternoon dragged heavily on. It seemed as if it must be six o'clock, when it was but three. But, as time brings everything around, so Tom's time came at last. It began to grow dark. At seven o’clock it was dark enough to start. After securing a pick-axe, a coal shovel, a lantern, and some matches, he set out through the fields for his destination. The night was cloudy, but the moon occasion- ally broke through the rifts of clouds, and fell upon the figure of Tom walking across the fields. After a walk of about ten minutes he arrived at the mill. It was an old, tumble-down affair, and. to judge from the dilapidated shutters and the broken panes of glass, it had evidently not been used for a long time. One portion had fallen down, most likely from old age. while the rest, being slightly tilted toward the brook which ran behind it. looked as if a strong wind might easily topple it over. Jt had once belonged to a man named Thompson, who had used it for a storage house for grain, but. after the mysterious disap- pearance of his son. whom it was popularly be- lieved he had murdered, the old man had left the village, and the barn had gone gradually to ruin. As he approached the barn, Tom remembered this murder, and the thought made his heart sink. But the thought of the treasure gave him new courage, and he boldly advanced to the building. Opening one of the broken windows, he climbed in. All was darkness within. The weird creaking of the stairs and boards, occasioned by the wind blowing against the building, together with the patter of the rats as they fled at this bold intrusion into their home,—these things, added to the thought of the murder that had been committed there, made Tom's blood run cold. He turned to flee, but the thought f the buried gold held him back. He stood where he was. gazing into the darkness. Anyway, he would have a light. So thinking, he struck a match and lit the lantern. The light helped wonderfully to banish his fears, and he walked boldly to the northwestern corner. Hurriedly, he paced south, six feet, and east, ten feet, starting to dig on the spot thus attained. The dull thud of the pick as it struck the gr c::i 1 sounded ghostly in the stillness, but Tom paid little heed to it. his thoughts being now bent on unearthing the treasure. He alternately used the axe and shovel until, when he had dug about two feet, the axe struck something hard. His heart jumped into his mouth. Picking up the shovel he hastily dug around the hard object, until it was in plain sight. It was a wooden box about seven feet long, two feet wide, and a foot thick. It was odd that treas- ure should be buried in a wooden box, but Tom was now so intent on securing his prize that he gave this no thought. He did not try to lit; the box. thinking that it was too heavy, but, picking up his axe he struck the padlock, which secured the lid. a smashing blow, completely putting it out of commission. He was now in a fever of excite- ment. He stooped down. Holding the lantern above him, in great expectancy he lifted the lid. Heavens,'' he screamed, his voice shaking with fright, it’s Thompson's son. He dropped the lantern, let go of the lid. and ran for the window. As he did so two ear-splitting screeches resounded through the barn. His hair standing on end. his eyes bulging from their sockets, and his cheek blanched with terror, Tom fell rather than climbed out of the window. Arriving safely on the other side, he picked himself up. and. forgetting picks, shovel, and lantern, skurried over the fields as fast as his legs could carry him. As he disappeared in 266 SOM HR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the darkness two ringing peals of laughter sounded through the old barn. ‘ Wasn't that funny. Joe? Oh. I’ll never get over it,” and he gasped for breath. Upon this they both started in again and stopped only when they were sore from laughing. Then they came down from their perch in the rafters. Say. Ed. that skeleton that belongs to your father certainly did us a great deal more good than it ever did science. ' You bet it did.” replied Ed. grimly. ‘TLu now that the fun's over I think we had better start for home.” They picked up the overturned lantern which was still burning, removed from the ground the box that had so terrorized Tom, and between them carried it to the window, depositing it out- side. Then, blowing out the lantern, they them- selves crawled through. Still laughing, they shouldered the box with its ghastly contents, and started for home. ‘‘Tom can come back for his tools to-morrow, if he isn't too frightened,” said the one called Ed. (Ice, can’t he run, though?” At this they both roared with laughter, dropping the box in the roadway. However, the fit was soon over, and they again shouldered the box. They walked along in silence for a while. At length Joe broke the stillness. I guess we've accomplished our end. Tom won't be foolish enough to throw away two dol- lars for any more 'old horse.’ ” And the voices died away. Cbc ©pen IDoor J6 ? XeonarD H. IRice, T2 ARRY Dickson had been occupying his new position now for five days, as secretary to “J. H. Brown.” which was the name on the office door. J. H. Brown was taking his summer vaca- tion at the seaside, so Larry was ‘‘lord of all he surveyed.” the latter consisting of a desk, a water cooler, a safe, three chairs, and a small table upon which reposed a box of J. H. Brown's Perfectos. There were two doors to the office, one opening into the hall and one which connected with the office next door. The latter was securely locked and Larry often gazed at this door and thought how cold and forbidding it ap- peared. It was Saturday, and Larry was as busy as usual, stretched back in his chair, his feet on the desk and a copy of the Radiator in his hand. Sud- denly a mightv crash came against the Door,” and immediately there followed a very feminine scream. Larry nearlv went over backwards in his haste to reach the door, and in another instant he was standing in the doorway of the office next to his, beholding the sad spectacle of a wrecked water- cooler lying on the floor in the centre of a large pool of water and a young girl bending over and vainly attempting to mop up the rapidly spreading lakelet with two handfuls of waste paper. Upon hearing the door open she stood up and faced the astonished youth. “Belle!” with wonder on every feature. Larry! Oh, I’m so glad.” Well, I should think you would be.” said that young man. surveying the remains, then rushing into his office he was back in an instant with a mop and in a short time the place had resumed its for- mer neat appearance. “Wasn’t it horribly careless of me? You see, I pushed my chair back suddenly and it overturned and knocked the cooler. And now I'll have to drink warm water for three or four weeks.” “Well, I guess not, Belle. I won't allow that. Any time that you get thirsty you can just step into my office and get a drink.” Your office? Why, Larry, what are you talk- ing about? “Why, yes. the office next door.” You are in that office for all summer? Oh, I’m so glad!” “Believe me, Belle. I'm mighty glad you smashed your old water-cooler, for if you hadn't I might not have discovered you until next week, perhaps! How horrible! And now. it's me to the janitor and get the key to that door, which from now on is going to be an open door.” SOMERVILLE HGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 267 He suited the action to the word, and in a short time the door was thrown back and fastened. ‘Tm afraid that we won’t accomplish much in the way of business, Larry.” Perhaps not—in the way of business.” 'Hie weeks passed very pleasantly. The two took their lunches together at a restaurant across the street, and on Friday nights they usually went to Belle’s home for supper. Upon several occasions Larry acted in a very unbusinesslike manner, but he was always in- stantly reproved by Belle, who told him that he was now a business man and must attend strictly to business, although Larry would have been very willing to have thrown over his present position to go to work for a little employer who sports a pair of wings. Four weeks had passed and it was a Friday morning, when a telegram came from Larry’s em- ployer saying that he was sending by special mes- senger a package of bonds which were to be placed away in the safe. About two o’clock the bonds ar- rived, and Larry placed them at once in the safe. Four o’clock was striking and Larry was seated at his desk when the door opened, admitting a tall, dark man. dressed in a blue serge suit and wearing a straw hat. Belle was seated at.her desk in the next room, the chair being back from the door so that a per- son sitting outside the desk-rail in the next office could not see her. “What can I do for you, sir?” asked Larry, turn- ing his chair. If I might trouble you for a moment,” said the man. Be seated, please. The desk rail was about three feet high and the stranger brought his chair close to it. Then he thrust his hands into his side pockets and leaned forward in his chair, in a very awkward position, Larrv thought. Just a little matter of business that I had with Mr. Brown, but you will do just as well. You see. Mr. Brown was to buy”—but Larry had lost in- terest for he had heard the slight creak of Belle’s chair that told that she had got up. Me wondered what she was doing. Suddenly lie was brought sharply to attention by the startling words of the stranger. He had been talking about buying, and now— Very pleasant offices you have here. Nice safe there. Do you suppose------” Larry leaned forward, and without seeming to, peered over the shoulder of the stranger at the door, for two white little fingers were pressed through the mail slot holding a card on which something was printed in black ink. Revolver — in — his — right — hand.” The stranger’s voice,—“so you’d better hand them over without a yip! The man’s right hand was leaving his pocket, but too late, for no sooner had the words left his mouth than Larry’s fist crashed between his eyes. As lie went over the revolver struck the chair and went oft. At the same time a little body flashed into the room. Oh, Larry! Larry! Are you shot?” No. Belle, no. I got him first, thanks to you, dear.” Oh. I'm so glad —then remembering, she drew shyly away. I he door flew open and in an instant the office was full of excited men and girls, and afterward— it is generally afterward—a policeman arrived and took the now conscious would-have-becn-thief into custody. Larry told his story, ending by saying that the fellow must have learned of the bonds from some unknown source, and had planned this daring rob- bery. thinking to accomplish his purpose by the very daring of the act. The crowd had gone and the two were standing by Larry’s desk. How did you know, Belle?” The mirror, Larry, in my office reflected him, and 1 saw the glint of the steel. It was the open door that did it. Belle. And when you heard the shot you cared—Belle? Yes, Larry. Do you still care? But the reply was lost in the shoulder of his coat. 268 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR B IRtt� e on a Milt� Engine Clifford Ik. ACK ELLIS was a reporter on the World. You probably read of him in that paper, when he quarreled with his wealthy father, and was turned out from his home to earn his living as best he could. As he was an independent sort of fellow, he went to work and did it. A friend of Jack’s suggested journalism, and as Jack liked the suggestion, he went to Stone, the city editor of the World. What can you do?” asked Stone. I can work.” said Jack, in a most convincing manner. “You’re on.” said Stone, “eight a week and ex- penses. Go over to Myers, and he’ll show you what to do. So Jack Ellis became a reporter on the World. Six months later. Stone called: “Ellis, come here! The engineer of the Coast Express went crazy last night from nervous strain. His name was Cameron. Go down to the round house and get the fireman's story.” Jack hurried toward the engine house. Upon arriving there, he inquired for Mr. Cleveland, the ■fireman of the Coast Express. Cleveland? said the man at the desk in tlie yard master’s office, Sure, he's over on 3628, firing up for tonight’s run. You’ll find her over on Siding 6. the other side of the round house.” “Just in time.” thought Jack as he ran across the maze of tracks in the yard. I'll get him on the engine, and get his story in for the final.” He reached the engine, and climbed to the cab, where the fireman was fitting a new water glass. Mr. Cleveland?” inquired Jack. Yes.” replied the fireman. What's wanted? Tm Ellis.” said Jack, “of the World, and I’d like to hear your story of what happened last night. Just a minute. said the fireman, I’ve got to gn into the round house for another wrench. As the fireman straightened up, his overalls caught over the end of the throttle. At that instant lie happened to touch his bare hand t the hot shell of the boiler butt. He jumped down to the cab floor and out the gangway, blowing on his burned hand. Right back. he said. As he disappeared in the round house, the wheels of the big grasshopper began to turn s’owly Iberrick, ’13 —so slowly that Jack did not notice it. The fire- man had opened the throttle when he had jumped from the pain of his burn. Suddenly. Jack noticed that they were moving. As the big engine gathered impetus he jumped from the seat in alarm. The engine moved faster every second. Xow Jack knew as much about locomotives as a five-year-old child: i. e., absolutely nothing. Maybe that big lever at the side will stop it.” he thought, and he seized the reverse lever and pulled it towards him. But he did not pull it far enough and the engine went faster. The switches were set for the main line, and he was sure that they were going forty miles an hour, for he saw that they were well out of the city. They sped by a small station. This gave Jack an idea. He searched his pocket for paper. Nothing but some cards and printed stuff, for Jack preferred to rely on his memory, rather than to use a notebook. He snatched off the cover of the seat box. There lay a time book. He caught it up quickly and tore out a blank leaf. With a lead pencil, he wrote: “Engine 3623 is running wild, and I don't know how to stop her. Wire ahead to derail her.” Tearing his handkerchief in strips, he tied the message to a spare bolt, and as lie saw another small station approaching, lie made ready. As they flashed by he threw the bolt through the window of the station. The station agent was seated at his key when the glass crashed. “Confound those boys,” lie said, running to the door. No one was in sight. Grumbling, he went back into the office and looked for the missile. He found the bolt and read the paper. Whew-w, he whistled. Well, ! thought Cameron was going pretty good for a light engine.” The agent was a young fellow, and his train of thought ran quickly. No derail switch till Alford Beach, and before that, 3623 would crash rear-end with a special, a convention going to Kockfield.” Ah! lie had it! Fifteen minutes to spare. He sat down to the key. A X. A X. A X,” he clicked, and paused for an answer. (). K..” came from Axiom twenty miles up track. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 269 “3623 running wild, man in the cab, don’t know how to stoj) her. Get this straight. Write on a blank form: ‘Push long lever on boiler head from you as far as it will go. Push small brass handle near the scat as far as it will go.' and put it in a mail bag. Put the bag in the mail chute. When the engine comes by, get it in the cab win- dow. Repeat. “O. K..” said Axton, and repeated. Jack leaned out of the window as the engine approached the next station. He thought: I wonder if I’ll get shaken up when she goes off. Some one waved him to get back inside, and as the engine shot by, something struck him on the shoulder, almost knocking him to the gangway. He looked around. What in thunder, lie- said. what that’s? He noticed the mail bag. Well, I’ll be hanged, lie ejaculated. Picking it up he observed that it was unlocked and seemed empty. Therefore it couldn’t be maii. lie opened it and read the message. By this time it was almost dark, and he could see ahead the rear lights of a train. “Gee! he said, ‘ I’ve got to do something quick. He caught the long lever on the boiler head and pulled it. The big locomotive made a terrific leap ahead. Here’s where I get mine, he gasped. He thought again. Oh! I pulled it instead of pushing it. He quickly pushed it as far as u would go. and seizing the brake lever, pushed that to the right as far as possible, the emergency position. W ith showers of sparks from under each wheel, and groaning and shaking at every bolt, the great grasshopper slid several feet, and at last came to a stop just twenty feet behind the special train, which had stopped on account of an accident to the air brakes. Jack got down feeling rather shaky, and as the crew from the train gathered around, he told his story of the accident which had given him such a wild ride. “I’ll get what’s coming to me for losing that story, he finished. Put when lie arrived at the office, Stone said: It’s all right, Ellis; they ’phoned up from the round house and we sent Stcssen to get the story. Give your stuff to the rewrite men and lay off to-morrow. We can stick in a half a column to-night and put the full thing in the magazine section of the Sunday edition. When Jack signed his receipt on the following Saturday, he found a twenty-dollar bill in his envelope. Stone explained this by saying: “You’re doing space now. Whereat Jack re- j iced, but his face became sober as he said: I wouldn’t do it again for a hundred a week. “tCo tbe Uictor Belong tbe Spoils tf tba el lb. Pearson, 12 O” ejaculated Dick. “I won’t!” And thereby hangs a tale. Richard Stone, don’t be so ut- terly unreasonable! Thus replied Miss Paula Vincent, most honored and revered president of the Springvale Women’s Equal Suffrage Asso- ciation. Reasonable or unreasonable, I’m not going to make a fool of myself by carrying a banner in your suffrage parade,” Dick answered hotly, and his chair banged on the piazza floor. “But, Dick, you’re so tall and straight. Just think how sweet you’d look in a white suit, lead- ing the parade on Black Susan, and carrying the banner with ‘Springvale Women's Equal Suffrage Association. Votes for Women. Oh, Dick, you will, won’t you?” “I’ll be hanged if I do.” muttered Dick. What do you think the fellows would say. Gee! they'd never get through guying me. But. answered Paula, triumphantly. Percival Van Burcn is going to carry a banner for m—, for us.” Oh. Lord! groaned Dick, Percival Van Burcn! Well. I’d expect it of him. His name’s enough. And of course he’d do it if you asked him. I suppose it was you? Yes,” answered Paula, cheerfully. I did. But it wasn’t so very long ago when you said you'd do anything in the world for me. and she looked at him mischievously from under her lashes. Well, that didn't include making an ass of my- self. retorted Dick. Paula stiffened. Your language isn’t exactly “What Percival would use, interrupted Dick. No. I'll admit it. it isn't. You see. mamma might not like to have Percival talk that way. he added, mincingly. Richard, behave yourself. said Paula, trying not to smile, and be sensible. We’ve got to 270 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR hurry this thing along. It’s only two weeks till the Fourth, and we must know who’s going to lead. I Mease say you will, like a good boy. Please, Dickie. very sweetly. ■•Dickie fidgeted. He never could hold out long against Paula’s pleading; and she knew it. It is hard. he told himself, to refuse to carry a banner for the dearest girl in the world, even if it is in a suffrage parade, and even if 1 would make a confounded show of myself. Especially when it may cook my goose if I don't. I don’t know------ Dick turned. Well. Pll------- ‘‘Oh, Miss Paula. came a dainty voice from over the hedge, and Pcrcival Van Huren hurried up the walk, all in the glory of a dazzling white- suit, white shoes, straw hat. and his eternal eye- glass. Dick tied into the house. “Oh, Miss Paula! I’ve just engaged the band for the parade!’’ “That’s fine, Pcrcival. returned Paula, pleas- antly. Won’t you sit down?” “Yes. I think I will. It’s so warm,” and Pcrci- cal seated himself with precision in the chair which Dick had left. And is Richard going to lead the parade?’’ he questioned. He hasn't quite decided, guilelessly, but I think he will.” “Oh. she does, does she?” muttered Dick to himself from behind the curtain of the den win- dow. He had quite forgotten his half-spoken de- cision of a moment before. “Then, in case he refuses,” '-said Pcrcival, grandiloquently, I will do it for you with the greatest pleasure. He gazed at Paula ador- ingly. 1 would do anything for you. Miss Paula, anything. Dick, safely hidden, shook his fist at the white- back. Oh. thank you for your offer. Pcrcival,” Paula returned sweetly, I’ll let you know to-morrow morning. Pcrcival did not perceive the veiled invitation to depart, but settled himself more firmly, care- fully adjusted his eyeglass, and as carefully re- moved it. Miss Paula, you must know how I feel toward you. Paula started, making a gesture of depre- cation. but which passed unheeded. I couldn’t wait any longer. Miss Paula.” Pcrci- val went on. “so I just hurried right up here this afternoon to ask you if------’’ Really, Pcrcival,’’ Paula interrupted hastily, you mustn’t. Some one might hear you. you know. Pcrcival sighed. “Yes, you are right. And I would’t have anyone else hear me for the world. Hut Miss Paula, you know what I mean. Couldn’t you sav ’yes'?” Paula’s checks were rosy as she stood up. Oh. he must go!” she thought. Then aloud: ' Why. Pcrcival. I didn’t imagine such a thing. Suppose you leave me now, and let me think it over. 1 know Dick heard him,” she told her- self, “and he’ll be furious.” Yes. perhaps that will be best,” agreed Pcrci- val. and you’ll tell me very soon, won’t you? Hut I’m sure you’ll say ‘yes,’” he concluded, as he went down the steps. Paula gazed in wonder at his retreating form. “What a bunch of egotism. she said aloud. Yes, I agree with you for once. I suppose you feel highly honored?” Dick was standing in the doorway. “Dick Stone, did you listen to what he said?” “Couldn't very well help hearing,” Dick re- turned calmly. Well, you might have gone away when he be- gan. Paula spoke indignantly. Oh. pshaw! Say. Paula, I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I'll lead your parade if you’ll tell me once and for all that you'll marry me.” Dick was a born schemer. You’ve held me off with ‘per- haps’ quite long enough. I’ve asked you at least six times, and I want to know now.” If you think you can bribe me with that. Mr. Richard Stone, you are greatly mistaken.” Paula's head went up with a haughty movement. I refuse to sell myself.” and she sailed into the house, leaving Dick staring after her in the height of discomfort. Then he slowly walked home. The following morning Paula secured the ser- vices of Pcrcival, but asked him to wait until after the parade for her answer. It is hard to wait. he told her. “but of course you know best. I will try to control my ardor.” Paula saw little of Dick during the ensuing two weeks, but Percival’s attentions resembled those of a faithful watchdog. It is possible that he ate at his own home, but Paula doubted the fact. After the first week his devotions began to pall upon her, and she began to wish for Dick’s care- less jollity. However, Dick did not approach her. In spite of Paula’s protestations, Pcrcival re- peated his avowals of love at frequent intervals Oh. dear! his victim sighed one night after Pcrcival had been especially impassioned, he’s worse than Dick. I'll be forced to accept him in spite of myself, just to stop him.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 271 Once or twice she thought of sending for Dick. “But,” she told herself, “that would he too big a triumph for him. Xo. I must endure Percival.” The morning of the Fourth dawned clear and hot. Everything was ready, and the Springvale Women's Equal Suffrage Association parade- made a dignified and triumphant start from their clubhouse. Percival was certainly in his glory. Black Susan pranced away at the head of the column in a manner which was quite in keeping with the dignified start, and Percival, seated on the mare's back, looked neither to the right nor to the left, but always straight ahead. in a com- plete suit of white, and bearing aloft the flaunting banner. Percival was entirely pleased with him- self. And yet, Paula could not help thinking how much more suited to the position Dick would have been. For two hours the parade traversed the people- lined streets of Springvale. And each succeeding moment the sun grew hotter. The perspiring drum-major still continued to elicit intermittent bursts of sound from his equally damp company; the officers of the association still continued to bow and smile at the onlookers from their seats of honor in the decorated coach: the members continued to parade; and Percival continued to support the banner, clinging to Black Susan with his knees, while he wiped the ever-increasing drops from his forehead. His stiff white suit clung in limp folds; his eyeglass had long since dropped, and dangled at the end of its white cord. When, a little after noon, the parade disbanded at its starting place, Paula succeeded in escaping Percival. and hurried home. But her respite was not for long. With a splitting headache, she had shut herself in her room, with the intention of having a good long sleep. But, as she glanced from her window, there appeared a form coming down the walk. Percival. in a bedraggled suit (once white, but now covered with dark stains from the frothy flanks of Black Susan), fanning his red face with a limp hat, was coining for his answer! I won't sec him! I won’t! I won’t! Paula buried her aching head in her cool, white pillow. “I hate the sight of him and his eyeglass! lies a —a—puppy! The tears began to soak the pil- low. I was a little fool to ask him to lead that parade. Bang! A pillow, thrown by an angry hand, struck the dressing table, and a clatter of bottles followed. “Oh. Dick Stone, why don’t you come up here and choke him? Xo. you're just as bad as Percival. and I hate you. too! I hate you! and Paula threw Open the door leading to her den. and seized the receiver of her telephone. In a very shaky voice, she gave her number. She recognized the answering voice, and the flood gates opened again. “Dick Stone, if you don’t come straight up here and throw Percival Van Buren in the lake. I'll never marry you as long as I live. “Yes. he’s here now. the beast! Yes. I'll promise anything, only hurry! “Xo, you foolish boy, not to-morrow! “Well, y-e-s, then. In September. Xow hurry! Dick grinned happily as he hung up the re- ceiver. --------- tLbe IReb anb JSlue By? jfr.anft C. 5)av is, '13 HE annual interscholastic track meet was drawing to a close. The hot rays of the afternoon sun had given way to the cool dusk of waning twi- light, leaving only two events to be contested before one of the greatest struggles in the history of school athletics would be ended. All the afternoon it had been nip and tuck between the Red and Blue of Somerville High, which in the last few years had attained a position among the school leaders in track ath- letics, and the champions of last year's meet. Worcester Academy. The captain of the Red and Blue team. Johnny Farrell, had run close to record time in the half mile and was expected to lower the interscholastic record for the mile. The Somerville supporters, who had accom- panied the team in large numbers in hopes of help- ing to bring home a championship, were cheering hoarsely, but enthusiastically; the red-headed cheer-leader was mechanically pumping his arms up and down, waiting for something to come. In a lull in the cheering he looked across the field to a spot where a little knot of officials were confer- ring. Suddenly a short, red-faced man broke away and came hurrying towards the stands, raising to his lips a huge megaphone. “Result f pole vault—Bailev— Worcester Acad- emy—first! he announced. “Second- McXulty Powder Point! Third—Rice—English High!” He consulted a slip of paper. “Final event will be —mile run!” 2 2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The blonde-haired cheer-leader leaped into ac- tion. “Come on. fellows!” he shouted. “Here’s where we fit! The long cheer for Captain Johnny Farrell and a new mile record! Now! One---------” Inside the dressing-room Coach Jim Wrenn of file Red and Blue team grasped Captain Farrell by the arm and led him into a corner. “Look here. Johnny, he said, “we need a first and a third to win out. I know you’re good for first, but we’ve got to get Smith in somehow. Out of the six starters he looks to me to be about fourth, on past performances. Both Rush and Gray, of Worcester, have made better time than he has. But listen! Every man who is thought to have a chance to beat you out will be told to stick to you all the time. They will all follow your pace. Xow 1 want von to trail along at the start and let Smith pile up a lead. At the last quarter you can pull away from the bunch and catch him. Prob- ably Rush will stick with you and beat him out, but I know Gray hasn't the stamina to stand a hard sprint in the last lap, so perhaps Smith can come in with that third place. Get me?” Captain Johnny Farrell nodded slowly. “It spoils my chance to make a new record. I guess.” he said, but it’s the only way to get him in third, i’ll tip him off.” He walked across the room to where a solemn-faced youth with a bris- tling pompadour was leaning against the wall. “Sammy.” said the captain, abruptly, “it’s up to you. You've got t; score. First, second, or third, 'lake your pick. You get one of them and I’ll get the other. I’ll hold the bunch back until the last quarter and let you get a lead, and then you’ll have to hold it. You’ve simply got to do it!’’ The clerk of the course stuck his head in the door. Last call for the mile! lie yelled. You'll do it. Sammy, I know you'll do it. said Captain Farrell, and hurried out onto the track. Smith, left behind, gazed solemnly at the floor. Then he clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and, having made up his mind, threw off his blanket and went out. At the half-mile mark five of the six milers were bunched about fifty yards behind Smith, who was steadily sticking to the rather fast pace he had set at the start. Bush, the Worcester crack, loping along with his eyes glued to Farrell’s back, laughed inwardly as Smith continued to increase his lead. “I'm wise to that game,” lie thought. “They think I’ll get scared and go out and chase my head off after that fellow, but I’m wise.” Farrell quickened his pace somewhat at the start of the third quarter, but not enough to diminish Smith’s lead. The stands were getting impatient and began urging on the favorites. Most re- garded the race as between Farrell, last year’s winner, and Rush, who in the previous meets had almost nosed out Farrell. Nobody gave Smith a chance, in spite of the lead lie had accumulated. Suddenly the red-headed cheer-leader turned. “Come on! lie cried. “Let’s give Farrell a cheer. Three ‘Johnny Farrells.’ One! Two! Three!” Then came a voice from the centre of the stand; a voice half-questioning, half-commanding. And why not Smith?” it asked. “Smith it is!’’ rejoined the cheer-leader. “What do you say, fellows? Three for Smith!” Smith heard those cheers, gritted his teeth, clenched his hands, and kept on plugging along. Captain Johnny Farrell heard them, smiled, and lengthened his stride a little. Then he lengthened it a little more, then still more, and when he crossed the starting line for the beginning of the final lap. only the speedy Bush and the swift Gray were still at his heels. Smith was out in front; the other two were stringing along hopelessly in the rear. And then the race began. Steadily now Captain Farrell pulled upon Smith, the two Worcester runners clinging at his elbows. Steadily Smith’s lead was diminished. Finally, as they rounded into the home stretch, and came in sight of the tape, the four runners were sprinting abreast. Captain Johnny Farrell, struggling for breath, muttered to Smith, on the inside: “Come on. Sammy, kid. von can do it!” and drew slightly ahead. Gray was tottering. Finally he swerved, and toppled onto the turf at the side of the track. Smith gritted his teeth, clenched his hands tighter, and struggled on. If only they could keep Rush from getting first! The tape was twenty yards away. Captain Johnny stumbled. lost his stride, and was left in the rear. It was up to Smith. A mist was in his eyes, but he could see dancing, howling figures down at the finish. He could see that figure beside him. struggling along—couldn’t he draw away from him? A second more—he hurled himself forward, felt the tape snap across his chest---. Willing hands caught him as lie fell and carried him into the dressing-room. A few moments later Smith opened his eyes. “Johnny! I’m here. Sammy.” Smith looked across the room. Captain Johnny Farrell was having his ankle bound up. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2 5 Smith smiled. Tough luck. Johnny. he said. “You'd have—Say! he paused in sudden dread. “You finished, didn’t you? The rubber spoke up. He sure did. he said. He had to crawl across the line, but lie finished! Smith smiled again. “Then that's all right. he said, in relief. As long as we won, you know. Right you are! asserted Captain Johnny. “If I could reach you I'd kiss you for that. The Reel and Blue forever! Ibis Hast ttrip 36b Efcwarfc) X. Sinclair, '12 11 E fishing schooner Gossip was one of the best of the Gloucester fleet. She lay at Perkins wharf on a clear, cold morning in the early part of De- cember. Her skipper, who was also her owner, was Captain John Olsen. Her crew was one of the best that manned a fisherman, that ever sailed out of Gloucester har- bor. On board the Gossip all was in readiness for a trip to the Banks, and she was prepared to sail, but one of the crew had not yet arrived. “Call a tug, Turner, and I will get another man, shouted the captain to his mate, as he started up the wharf. Olsen directed his steps towards what is known in Gloucester as Fisherman's Corner. Here he met Pete Mallet, a character as hard as his name suggests. Looking for a man, Cap? said Pete, “Yes, a man. but not a loafer, nor a drunk. replied Olsen. Mallet's eyes flashed, and lie was about to enter upon a string of oaths and curses on the Gossip and her captain, but quickly refrained himself when lie saw Olsen was looking him over, so he only said, sullenly: “Nobody ever gives a drunk or a loafer a chance to become a man. Olsen was a good judge of men and he had a crew that few skippers could muster. He saw something in the hard looking character that stood before him that he could not understand, and something in Pete arrested his attention. Perhaps he is not so bad as we think he is, mused Olsen. His father was a hard character, and we all hold him down for that, and make him what he is to-day. “You can come. Mallet, and see if you can make good this trip. 'Hie Gossip is at Perkins’ wharf ready to sail, so hurry up. Mallet had no one whom he wanted to see be- fore going, so, with the captain’s aid, lie soon gathered an outfit which had seen service before, and they started for the wharf. The tow-boat Startle lay alongside of the Gossip. The captain and Mallet soon arrived. Mallet threw a well worn dunnage bag on deck and jumped on board. The captain followed. I he rest of the crew stopped in their labors to give their opinion of their new shipmate. Won- der what made the captain ship that drunk for? said Ben Nelson to Bill Sawyer, as they cast off the lines. He ain’t had a job since the old Hooper and her drunken crew went down, and that's over a year ago. said Bill. Pete went below and got into his oilskins. He had heard the remarks about him and knew what his reputation was. Yes. I will fight down my hard name, mused Pete. “I am on a good boat with a good crew, and here is a chance to show myself a man. The Ciossip was now under way. and Pete went on deck in a better state of mind. He absent- mindedly turned a bucket upside down and sat down upon it. T guess I must be improving. thought Pete, for any other time nobody would talk to me the way the captain did, nor anybody talk about me the way the crew did, without my getting some satisfaction. His thoughts were soon interrupted bv the mate, who kicked the bucket from under him and shouted at him : “Give a hand on hauling up the main sheet and don’t try to Jonah this boat with your turned-down bucket. Pete got up and started to work with a will. As they passed Ten Pound Island, Pete muttered to himself: When they see that island again, they will think Pete Mallet a better fellow than they do now, and at the sound of the tug's whistle. Pete quickly cast off her lines, and they were off for the Banks. Pete was right. When the crew looked upon Ten Pound Island again, they would know that Pete Mallet was as good a man as ever left that 274 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR harbor, but it was to conic about in a manner vastly different from what Pete imagined. 'Hie run to the Ranks was accomplished in good time and the fishing commenced. Pete gradually made friends with the different members of the crew, and he began to feel their influence, and to get acquainted with his sur- roundings. On the Gossip each was willing to help another, while on the old Hooper Pete could only ic- member trying to get ahead of the other fellow, and he never purchased oilskins nor mittens when lie was on her. but on the Gossip each man re- spected the other’s property, and Pete learned that that was the best way. Pete’s dory mate was Manuel Silva, who had come over from Portugal but a few years previous. He exerted a great influence on Mallet. He and Pete became good friends. Manuel was the most religious man of the crew. Pete never entered upon a volley of curses now, when things went wrong: the hard look in his eyes had given place to a perpetual smiie. and he had lost his sullen and morose manner. lie looked forward with pleasure to the arrival in port. He was going to spend Christmas with Manuel and meet Silva’s wife and two boys, of whom Manuel never tired talking. And Manuel was going to take him to church. He wondered what it was like, for Pete never remembered going to church. 'Hie Gossip had been out for ten days now, and they had struck and were going to bring in the best catch of the season. They had put out the dories for taking in the trawls for the last time, and good cheer had taken hold of every man. Manuel was at the oars, and Pete was in the bow of the dory relieving the trawl of its fish. “Guess there’s few trips that will beat ours, Silva ’ “Best trip this season. Pete, but I don’t like the looks of this morning. Wish we were in port.” “Only a few more fathom. Cheer up. Christ- mas is coming.” But as Pete spoke the snow began to fall in large flakes, greedily disappearing in the dark green water, which was beginning to get rough. Pete cut the trawl rather than take chances and took his place at his cars. They heard the fog horn and the report of the old shot gun. and started off in its direction. The snow was now falling so thick and fast that they could only sec a few feet ahead of them. Pete and Manuel rowed about for an hour, but they met no boat. A cold wind had come up, which chilled them through and hurled the snow at them, so that they were obliged to keep rowing in order to keep the blood in circulation. They kept shouting, but received no answer. Evening was beginning to set in, and it was still snowing and cold. Silva showed signs of exhaus- tion. His face had grown blue. His eyes had a vacant stare and he rowed automatically. Pete’s hope and courage had been keeping him up. as he felt he had a great deal to live for, and he was fighting hard. Suddenly Silva fell in a heap in the stern of the dory. Pete went to him and shouted: “Row, or you freeze,” but Silva did not move. Pete took hold of him. but he drowsily shook off Pete’s grasp. “If I don't do something quick, he’ll die.” cried Pete, madly. Suddenly Pete’s face brightened up, and he be- gan to talk to himself. “Yes, I might as well. He has a wife and kids waiting for him—nobody is going to miss me, so I’ll save him.” Pete, as fast as his numb fingers would permit, took off his oilskins, then his coat, sweater, and even his flannel shirt, which he threw over Silva. Over all he placed his oilskins, and then the snow added another covering. Pete stumbled to his place at the oars and began to row mechanically. Soon his strokes grew slower and fewer and at last he, too, with his hands still grasping the oars fell in a heap. At the beginning of the storm, the Gossip had parted her cable, but had succeeded in picking up all her crew but Mallet and Silva. She started to search for them, and next morning after the storm had cleared, she found the dory. Mallet was a frozen corpse, with hands frozen to the oars. After they had worked over Silva they managed to bring him to. The tow-boat Startle met the Gossip at Ten Pound Island with her flag at half-mast. Willing tongues volunteered the story of their lost ship- mate to the crew of the tow-boat, for Pete Mallet was a hero and they would never forget him. The crew of the Gossip never tire of telling the story of Pete Mallet’s last trip, and if anyone asks about Pete Mallet from any fisherman, he will reply in his own crude manner of speech: “Best fellow ever left this harbor. lie would give the clothes off his own back without your asking, even if it was forty below.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 275 tLbat fTIb sterious Kurglarv .1Gy Blberc jf. Smith, ’12 AY, did you hear of all the burglaries out my way lately? Why, there’s Howe, the florist. Hunt, the lawyer, and Soule, the undertaker, they have all been robbed within the past month. Poor fellows! Maybe they can stand it, maybe they can’t. But I know one thing, no man shall ever break into my house, at least, at night, when I am there. I am afraid of no burglar! ()f course I close the windows on the first floor, but the ones on the second floor are always open. But no one will enter the house of Charlie Snow! Snow was a young fellow who had started in the brokerage business. His mother died when Charles was still a boy, and his father had died only a few years before, leaving a little money and a fine residence to his son. In the course of two years he had married, and now, at the age of thirty-five, he had two small children. He spoke thus to James O’Malley, a young man whom he had known for many years. They were both very- good friends during childhood, although one was well off and the other comparatively poor. After Snow’s talk they left each other, Snow- going into his office, and O’Malley, who was an in- surance agent, went to his place of business. Snow’s residence was situated on a hill, sur- rounded by beautiful gardens and green lawns, while at some distance in back of the house cheerily flowed a river. The night was bright, the moon being full. A man silently rowed his way up the river as the clock struck one. He could easily see the house in clear outline against the sky. The man was clad in a dark suit, a dark soft hat, and wore a mask- over his eyes. When he reached his destination, he jumped out of the boat, made it fast, and took with him a large bag. Having made his way without being seen, he reached the house. Here he tucked the bag under his coat, climbed the water spout without a noise, and disappeared through a window. “So far. so good,” thought he. It took him but a minute to get his bearings. He found that he was in the hallway on the second floor. Removing his shoes so as to awaken no one within, he crept noiselessly down stairs. Here he stopped and listened. Was that a noise lie heard? “Xo, it is only imagination, he said. Nobody has awakened, and everything is in my favor.” 'I'he dining-room was situated at the further end of the hall, as were the closets w here the silver was kept. To these he went, lie then drew the bag from underneath his coat, and began to fill it with spoils. When the bag was pretty well filled, he muttered to himself, Well, I guess this is enough to carry down to the boat without being caught,” and forthwith, peering cautiously around and lis- tening to make sure that no one was stirring, lie picked up the bag of plunder and went to the back door. This he unlocked, lie made his way to the 15 at. placed his plunder in it. and sailed back whither he had come. At eight o’clock in the morning John Drum- mond was the only man in the office of the Burns I )etective Agency. Ring-g-g-g. went the telephone bell. “Hello!” Hello, is this Burns Detective Agency? Yes. Well, this is Snow, the broker. I’ve been robbed. Send three or four men out to my place as quick as you possibly can. Send your best men. and spare no expense in running down the crimi- nal. I think it must have been some crazy man ’that did the deed. Strange, he took only the knives, forks, and spoons, everyone of them, too. We have none to use for breakfast, and an awful mess it will be. Maybe it was some joker. Any- way. send out the men as quick as you can. All right. was the answer. The men have not come in yet, but they will be in presently. As soon as they come in I will send them out. All right. Good-by. and he hung up the receiver. In the course of fifteen or twenty minutes three detectives had come in. They were given full in- structions and sent out. They arrived at their destination a few minutes before nine, and were met bv Mr. Snow himself. They were shown all over the place, and examined everything carefully. They saw that the marks of the man on the sand and the footprints near the house were the same, and immediately reached the conclusion that the man had come by water. But inside the house no clews could be found. The man had left nothing within to bet fay himself. After a consultation of about twenty minutes 2 76 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the detectives decided to telegraph the chiefs of police of the .surrounding cities and towns to hold any suspicious looking character. Having done this, they went back to the city. About twelve o'clock one of the detectives ar- rested a man in one of the neighboring towns. He was a stranger, nobody knew him. and he was ex- tremely suspicious looking. hen arrested he had a few burglar s tools on him. but there was no trace of any silverware. When the detective tried to arrest him he showed fight, but with the cold muzzle of a gun at his head he soon submitted. Although there was no proof that this was the right man, they decided to await further develop- ments. The broker was notified, and was told to meet the detectives at three o'clock at the Waldorf- Astoria. The detectives were there some time before the appointed hour, but Mr. Snow was a little late. As soon as he was seated, he said: ‘ I think I will have no more need of your services, and you can let the suspect go. This letter which I just re- ceived will tell you everything. It reads as fol- lows :— “May 20. 19— “Dear Mr. Snow: I hope that you will pardon me for causing this trouble, but, after hearing all, that you will forgive me. Yesterday, you were boasting that no one could enter your beautiful house. Just to falsify this, I entered it last night. As to only taking the knives, forks, and spoons, I took them because it would be funny to think of you eating your breakfast without the use of any silver. Say, it must have been funny! 1 return them in a box. “Maybe this will teach you not to boast again. “Your dear friend. •‘O'Malley. “Well, that settles it. said the detectives. IRccveation r ? Charles jH. tlpton, H2J H E summer had been spent on a model dairy farm in southern New Hampshire, and our wanderings had net extended more than a mile from the farm. When work was over and, wages received we went to the sum- mit of the Uncanomuck Mountain, whose lights as they gleamed from the observatory and Dean Hall had been an invitation every evening during the season, though we had been obliged to content ourselves with their brightness from a dis- tance of five miles away. A cog railway runs from the base to the summit. The trip up was uneventful. We secured rooms at the hotel for a couple of days. The two dances made up somewhat for the lack of excitement during the season, and the third day we packed our grips and started for home. The tram-car was enveloped in fog as it went down the side of the mountain, the only way we could tell the speed of the car was by the whirring of the cog-wheels un- derneath. The whir grew louder! The speed was surely greater than usual! The brakeman had lost control of the brakes. The momentum in- creased. If the car could not be checked we would be injured, perhaps killed, when the end of the track was reached. The brakeman pulled a long iron lever from its place in the vestibule and, while holding the brake in position by the catch at the foot of the brake- rod, quickly pulled the handle off and substituted the long lever. All the male passengers eagerly offered their services when he called for volunteers •to help him, all but one man. who sat huddled in the corner, too frightened to move. We pushed firmly on the lever. The speed still held control. The car lurched around a corner and started on the last stretch. Ear below us was the station and. at the end of the track, the bumper! On the strength of that lever and the brake chains depended our lives. Harder still we forced the brake. The whirring sound grew less in volume. We crowded more pressure on the already strained chains. .Surely the trees fly less swiftly past us! The grating beneath lessens! Yes, the car is under control at last. More slowly it slides the last few feet, strikes with a thud against the bumper, and stops! We are saved! We have won the fight against death! Our lack of excitement during the summer has been blotted out. We had had some recreation!! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 277 H IKlile Utstoit B ? IDe ric 1R. IRooers, '12 was through an atmosphere thick and murky with the continued appli- cation of half a dozen pipes to half a dozen mouths that we turned our at- tention upon Grayson, as he leaned over to the hearth, and with a pre- paratory cough knocked the bowl of his pipe against the grate. Grayson was the star story teller of our club. As is rare with traveling men, he was the more or less fortunate possessor of an unspoiled obser- vation. a keen appreciation of the dramatic, and, what is still more rare, an inimitable gift for nar- ration. These faculties, aided by an extensive knowledge of the world gained through a lifetime of wandering over all the face of the earth, had given him an inexhaustible store of anecdotes and talcs, humorous and serious, pathetic and ludi- crous, which, if given to the public in written form, would have rendered his name immortal. But this he would never do. Always a man of moods, he was never loquacious; sometimes indeed he would talk for hours, keeping his auditors spell- bound by his words; but more often would sit listening to the efforts of others, a pipe in his mouth and a far-away look in his eyes, yet never lost to his surroundings. So had lie been this particular night, his hands clasped over his crossed knees, seemingly immov- able and unmoved, while the ball of conversation was tossed from one topic to another. The last speaker had concluded with a remark upon the political questions of modern Egypt: and, not quite agreeing with his statement, we turned to Grayson for his opinion, since earlier in the even- ing he had let slip the information that he had been in Cairo only two months before. Grayson leaned back in his chair and gazed meditatively across at his questioner, while he slowly re-filled his pipe, lit it. and pulled at it two or three times to make sure the flame had caught. To come right straight to the point without any circumlocution. I haven't an opinion to offer, or even the vaguest ghost of a conjecture to take its place. For some reason or other, the state of political turmoil which pervades official Egypt has never had the slightest attraction for me. I sup- pose that it is because the vast fascination that ancient Egypt has over me entirely overshadows the petty squabbles and jealousies between those in power and their enemies: and perhaps another reason is that I have cultivated a healthy habit while traveling in the East of either keeping my mouth shut, or remaining entirely indifferent to local politics. You know there are few or no policemen out there, the law is often looking the other way, and—well. I’ve known people to die very suddenly from heart failure or dysentery be- cause they couldn't keep from thinking out loud. But the mention of Egypt has brought to mv mind one of the most extraordinary experiences that have ever come my way. There was a rustle of expectancy round the circle as some one seized the poker and roused the fire into a more cheerful glow. Do any of you know Cairo? A chorus of negatives was the answer. “W ell, from my point of view, you haven’t missed much. One section is a poor imitation of Paris, as almost all imita- tions arc to-day. and the other a twin sister of any poverty-stricken Mussulman town, with its bazaars, mosques, and unutterable aromas, not to mention petty graft, locally dubbed ‘backshish.’ 1 explored this city for the first time about twenty years ago. and my visit about three months ago did not change my opinion. I ut, ‘to come back to our mutton,’ as the Frenchman puts it, the incident of which I am about to speak occurred during a business excur- sion to Cairo made about ten years ago. I ar- rived at the stated time, and found to mv disgust that a party whose presence was absolutely neces- sary would not arrive for at least a week, being detained by a sudden complication of affairs else- where. The pyramids and the museum had long ago been exhausted, and the only alternative to remaining, a monotonous seven days of baking torture in the city, was to get out and stay out until the period of waiting was over. “With this intent, I finally decided to take a trip up the Nile as far as Assouan, or, as time per- mitted. with a vague idea of visiting on my way the recent excavations in the Valiev of the Kings. For this purpose I embarked on a dahabcah carry- ing a cargo of foodstuffs up the river. During the voyage this vessel manifested an extraordi- nary capacity for running aground at every avail- able opportunity, each time being poled off to the FContinucu on page ‘JSO.] JOHN A.

I learned, also, that over a low ridge of palm-topped sand on the right bank lay the colossal ruins of Karnak. ’l y the time 1 had extracted this information, coupled with the assurance that they couldn’t pos- sibly get the boat off until the morning, the sun had already disappeared behind the undulating ridges of the Libyan desert. The gorgeous coloring in the west was rapidly changing into the deep blue of the Egyptian night, and overhead the stars shone forth with that peculiar brilliancy that is seen only in the dry air of the tropics. “Presently up from behind the feathery palms on the eastern bank rose the full moon, casting over all the magic splendor and mystery of her milky light. As I gazed upon the loveliness of the scene, 1 wondered if this was the vision that had met the eyes of the Pharoahs and of men who lived on this spot before the dawn of history, for, if it were so, then it was not surprising that Isis was the most famous of their divinities and the equal of Amun-re himself. The spell of the night was upon me. I was seized with an irresistible desire to view the ma- jestic ruins of a long-dead faith by this softening light. A small dinghy floated tranquilly astern. I pulled in the painter, lowered myself aboard, and in almost less time than it takes to say, I was standing upon the pebbly shore. “The ruins of Karnak lie about five minutes’ walk from the Nile, but it took me almost twice that time to cover the distance because of the deceptive nature of the ground and the light. Finally, however, I stood before the great outer pylon of the temple of Amun-re, but a strange feeling of awe, almost of fear, stayed me from entering its inky shadow. The sight of that im- mense eternal monument to a race who flourished two thousand years before the least glimmering of civilization shone in the west, standing there like a giant and threatening sentinel to a world of the dead, awoke in me the emotions of a primi- tive man gazing for the first time upon the leap- ing. devouring flames of a fire. Beyond the pylon I could faintly distinguish the immense columns of the hypostyle court, one side bathed in the gleaming radiance of the moon, the other in- visible iti the velvety blackness of the shadow. In the distance towered yet another pylon, sil- houetted in ebony against the indigo of the heavens, on the further side of which lay the shrine of Amun-re, the sun god, father of the Pharoahs and mightiest of the gods, now a tumbled mass of colossal masonry, yesterday the centre of the world. “Suddenly, as I watched, it seemed after the lapse of only a few minutes, but it must have been after several hours, for the moon was already low on the horizon, 1 seemed to hear as if from an immense distance the sound of human voices chanting to the accompaniment of stringed instru- ments. Louder and clearer grew the music; and, as the sound advanced, before my astonished eves a change seemed to come. The tangled growth of vegetation that carpeted the ground and hid the fallen stonework vanished; instead, a broad, smooth road, bordered with a double row of crouching sphinxes, stretched from the base of the pylon out into the plain as far as the eye could see. But, most wonderful of all, beyond the pylon where before had lain the ruins of a mighty age extended stately courts and cloisters, behind which, where had stood the serried ranks of battered monoliths, now rose a glorious edifice stretching beyond sight and glowing with colors only partially subdued in the half-light. “But what met my eyes as I turned towards the road in the direction of the approaching chant caused me to look back into the friendly shadows of the nearest sphinx. Along the broad way, clearly illuminated by the last rays of the setting moon, was drawing nearer every moment one of the weirdest cavai- eades ever witnessed by man. At first I was un- able to distinguish its character. But as the pro- cession appproached, I saw that the front rank- consist ed of a number of what I took to be priests attired in the garb of ancient Egypt as it appears in a conventional form upon the funereal decora- tions. The van of the body was now passing di- rectly before me, and f noticed that in the centre of the priests was raised aloft a kind of box or casket which glittered and flashed with gems. Behind these came a gilded chariot surrounded with horsemen and containing a noble figure of a man crowned with what I afterwards discovered to be the royal emblem of lower Egypt. At this point the singing suddenly ceased, and a deathly SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 283 ZTbe jforest jfuc J6y jHclcn m. pon ’13 HE great day of the Brockton Fair had come at last, only to find me de- jectedly propped up in the Morris chair. Over my aching, swollen jaw. I held a disfiguring bandage. Still, smiling as best 1 could,— which under the circumstances was only a halt smile—I assured the rest of the family that I didn't in the least mind staying at home alone. My brother was particularly—and unusually—sympa- thetic. •It's a downright shame, sis, he vowed, over and over again. ()h. I have my new book for company. 1 replied, for about the fiftieth time.

What absolute nonsense, Ed! 1 responded. You’ve been looking forward to the Fair for ever so long. Well. Kitty, I really do want to go, but I hate to leave you here alone.” Ed Gordon,” I answered, thoroughly exasper- ated, will you please stop reminding me that I'll be all alone? Just then Dad drove around with the carry-all. With Good-bye, Kitty,” they were gone and I was. at last, “all alone.” For several hours, I sat by the window over- looking the standpipe. Greatly interested in my book. I scarcely looked out towards the woods beyond the standpipe. Suddenly, glancing up, I beheld a strange something in the sky that made me drop my book and rush in consterna- tion to the standpipe. Quickly I climbed up, round by round on its ladder, higher and higher, until I stood near the top. from which point I could overlook for miles the Marshfield woods. Sufely. I could not see aright! It must be only a thunder cloud in the sky! S et I knew that it wasn't probable that the rest of the sky should be so blue, if that dark speck were merely a storm cloud. But. even as I paused, another menacing black cloud appeared. That was no natural cloud in the summer sky! What then could it be? In a moment, my worst fears were realized, as the huge black cloud burst open, revealing great sheets of fire. Fascinated. I watched the cloud spread until the whole horizon was hidden by dense smoke. With trembling limbs, mechanically responsive to the message of my benumbed'brain, 1 climbed rapidly down the ladder. It seemed an age before my feet reached the welcome ground. Quickly. 1 fled in terror t • the near-by telephone station of the Aldington Water Works, the owners of the standpipe. Hello! I say. Hello! I screamed through the receiver. Why don't you answer? Hello! Hello' Is this the Abington Water Works Company? Yes. What? Why. this is Kitty Gordon! Where? I'm in your telephone booth. Which one? Oh, the one near the Rockland Standpipe. Stop asking questions! The woods are on fire! Yes, yes. the Marshfield woods. Keep still, please! Let me talk! Call up the nearest fire depart- ment. Yes, in Whitman. Quick! I'm all alone!” Back to my post near the top of the standpipe, I rushed. Why didn't those firemen hurry? Sup- pose that stupid operator hadn't called them! I had worked myself up into a perfect frenzy before I saw a brigade of men in blue overalls and jump- ers climbing the hill. At last, the fire depart- ment had come. Each man was armed with a pail and shovel. There was no engine. Such was the Whitman fire department! The fight was on; trenches were dug, while the dirt was thrown on to the flames. Much to my surprise. I beheld them throwing on pine branches. I learned later, however, that these were first wet. By this time a crowd of village youths, garbed like the firemen, had arrived on the scene and were set vigorously to work. Now. even with their help, the fire was h wly. but surely, creep- ing nearer and nearer. Faster and faster, dashed the water in the trench. Still, those glaring flames were drawing closer and closer to our tiny home. Could those brave men fill the trench with 284 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR water in time? Only half a mile more, when the little white house would be nothing but a mass of smouldering, seething fire, too. Covering my eyes with my hands, I knelt by the emergency pumps at the foot of the ladder. Instinctively. I obeyed the chief’s command to turn open the switch. Yet. 1 dared not let too much water out. lest it get beyond my control. On looking up. 1 discovered with relief that while I had lain in a state of semi-consciousness, the brave men had succeeded in getting the fire under control. There was one more crash, as a huge ------------ pine fell splashing into the trench; one more flash of fire; then the forest was calm. All that remained was suffocating smoke and probably half-smcthered sparks in the underbrush. With a sigh of pure joy. I murmured: Thank God!” Then, being a woman, my housewifely instincts returned, and I hurried to the house to prepare the coffee that I knew those tired, exhausted men needed.

I had promised to pay a visit to my old friend Bill Belay.” who was now captain of one of the biggest tugboats in the harbor. 1 wended my way down T wharf; arriving at where the tug was moored, having dodged fish carts and numerous fishing dories. Scrambling down a rope ladder, I boarded the tug, where I received a hearty welcome from my friend Bill. We went up to the pilot house, where we smoked and talked over old times. When conversation became tiresome, Bill went over to a locker and brought out two odd-looking divers’ suits. Bill threw one to me and said: Put it on. we are going for a walk.” I took his word for it. wondering where I was going. When Bill had wriggled into the suit, lie held the odd-looking head covering in his hand and said: You are going to have an odd and interest- ing experience. In these suits we are going for a walk down the harbor. Don’t ask any questions, but put on your head piece and follow me.” Speechless with amazement and wonder, I did as I was told and put the odd covering over my head. It seemed to consist of rubber for the most part, except around the eyes, it consisted of glass which seemed to bend and fit my nose and forehead with ease. There did not seem to be any holes for air, but I could breathe perfectly. Bill said: Come on,” and clambered down to the cockpit. Here a rope ladder hung over the side, and as Bill clambered over the side and down the ladder 1 followed him. I did not seem to mind the water as 1 went down, and in a minute I was on the bottom, where Bill was waiting for me. I looked up and around me. I could see plainly, as the sun, reflecting through the waters, shed a beautiful light green haze all over the bottom of the harbor. Turning around I saw the enormous piles, which held up the wharf and looked like the edge of a dark forest. Directly above me was the black hulk of the tugboat resting on the top of the waves. Bill woke me from my amazement by taking my arm and saying: Come, let's start. We want to walk to Boston Light and back before the sun goes down.” We started down a slope and reached a broad passage way with high sides, which Bill said was the main channel. We walked quickly along and soon came to a cross channel. Bill told me it was the route of the East Boston ferry boat. While we were talking a huge black hulk came floating up the channel. After it had passed over our heads, Bill turned to me and said: “That was the Governor Dingley.” All I said was: Well, I'll be dinged. Resuming our walk, we reached higher ground and seemed to be in a little valley between two hills. That rocky hill on the right.” said Bill, is Castle Island, and that one a little farther upon the left is Apple Island.” In this way we continued our walk through t lie valleys between Spectacle, Governor’s, Ped- dccks, and Deer Islands. Just to the right of Deer Island stood Xix's Mate. This lonely monument appeared from the bottom like a huge sentinel of woe and sorrow. Now we turned a little to the left and kept dodging fishes and hulks of steamers as we went along. [Continued on page 206.] SOM E R VIL LE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 285 jfour jfrcc jfools JS Xcster H.

There were four of them, each look- ing as though he wished the fact that he had not learned his lessons to remain a secret from the others, though each knew that the others were unprepared. At sight of the schoolhouse their courage failed them, not an unusual occurrence on Monday morning, and they cast aside the good resolutions they had so often made, to go to school whether they knew their lessons or not. “What’s the ’signments. today? asked the florid faced, curly headed ’ Dutch. “Don’ know, answered Bob; “anybody know their lessons? Each one knew such a question was coming, and had prepared himself to say X .” “Come on, let’s hook Jack, said Cupid. “Done! shouted the four, and flung their useless books behind the counter of a nearby store, which they patronized freely . at lunch time, and boarded a passing car. one after the other, with a wonderful flying leap. “Swede, without ceremony, jerked a small darkey from his seat in’the corner, and in politest tones (they sounded like the wail of a cracked fiddle) said: “1 beg of you to allow me to offer my seat, Miss—a—Miss—a—what may I call you? Cupid got no farther,—a saucy uplift of the chin that might easily make any man with normal nerves flee, quieted for a time his desire for her acquaintance. An Atlantic avenue elevated train drew into the terminal, and since any other train was not due for two minutes, they boarded this. As they neared the water-front, a fleet of fish- ing vessels drew their attention. I hey left the train and pushed out onto T wharf. A noisy crowd of fishermen of all nationalities clumped hither and thither with heavy boots. Land-lub- bers bickered with swearing Portuguese fish deal- ers, grizzly bearded Irish captains bawled at their crew, the whole noisy scene inspiring the whole four with a longing for adventure. “One of Dad’s lumber boats sails for the South sometime today, said Swede. “Come on down and have some fun on her before she goes. In a happy chattering group, they ran down the dirty, muddy sidewalk, and then out onto a little lumber dock. I'he coast was clear, so far thev had seen no one they knew. Through the wicker gate they slipped and over the rail. All seemed ready to drop down the harbor with the rising and turning of the tide. I hev slipped down the companionway into the captain’s cabin, where they nearly knocked Dutch’s father, Herr Reitz, into a bunk. “Dad Petersen, Swede's father, glared at them from under his shaggy brows. “Playing bookie! playing bookie! bellowed Mr. Petersen. “I’ve a mind to whip the whole four of you young bandits. His threat was not carried out. and he seemed to be in doubt as to what punishment would be the most fitting. Mr. Petersen turned to Mr. Reitz. Ach! Sic will mil tins kommen, replied Herr Reitz, “und nicht melir go in der Schule. “Dutch, said Dad Petersen, as he was called by the boys, “I bounced my drunken captain this morning, and he took his drunken crew with him. I hired your father but a few minutes ago, and he has his crew all picked in this short notice. Hoys, I’,m going on this cruise as mate and owner. If this adventure fails, this company is a ‘back- number.’ As things stand now. it is a race between this company and our rivals for the timber on an out-of-thc-wav southern island. W hat fools ye mortals be. quoth Bob, break- ing a silence in which we stood with mouths agape. Our astonishment was nothing in com- parison with that which followed. “It is now nearly the end of your school year, and if I should take you with me. you would lose but little schooling. You boys don’t study, so you may as well come with me, whether you wish to or not. I will assume the responsibility of your welfare from now on. “Gut! Gut!” added Captain Reitz; “we will shanghai the ‘vier knaben.’ We arc short of men, and they can shovel coal fine. “Lock them in the cabin, and put a man on guard while we go home and bid the folks good- by and tell Bob’s and Cupid's fathers of their whereabouts. Everything ready? Shone fertig, mate, replied Cap. The four stood speechless, the full truth did not 286 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR dawn upon them until the key turned in the lock, and they were left alone. Was it really true that all this was true? Were they going without even saying good-bye and without a change of apparel? What could Dad Petersen be thinking of to kidnap, like an old pirate, the four boys? An immediate attack of homesickness set in. They surveyed each other in deepest disgust, and shifted the blame from Cupid to Swede, and then to Hob, and sometimes Dutch was held responsible for the whole affair. Each suddenly realized that the adventure for which they had been seeking, was coming to them in lumps. They calmly resigned themselves to their fate, and comforted themselves by the fact that there was no more hated algebra to do, no dreaded German to translate; they were free in a sense, and what if they were compelled to scrub decks and stoke coal; they would see new country and new people, and perhaps have all sorts of fun. Cap and Dad returned to find the boys in old, musty sea togs, hauled from an old sea chest. Dutch had a queer little hat, which stuck at a wonderful angle to a few blonde curls, and a pair of trousers, which, though rolled up several times, still hung in folds upon the cabin floor. Swede's trousers reached half way between his knees and ankles, and the sleeves of his flannel blouse fell but little below the elbow. Each was arrayed in some scare-crow cos- tume, and prepared to begin work immediately. The gong in the engine-room clanged, the en- gines throbbed. At the next clang of the gong the steamer began to move slowly from the dock, gathering speed as it moved out of the harbor and began its race South. Hut one stop was made on the way South, there to deposit a part of their cargo of ice-making ma- chinery, and this was done so hurriedly that the boys had little time to see the city or pick quar- rels with the loungers on the dock. As the weather grew warmer Cap Reitz and Dad grew more and more irritable. The boys no longer dared to overpower them and set them face to face astride a rail. During the spare time (they were usually kept busy shining brass) the boys lounged about the deck in silent anxiety. All felt the thrill of coming adventure in the little island they were now approaching. The chief engineer told them they were to stop at a little island called Delsalado, alias Bisqucntia, or any of a dozen other names—each time a Don gained, like Macbeth, his murderous way to the puny throne, the name was formally changed. Swede had been having a wicked dream; he awoke with a start, bumping his head on the in- fernally low bunk overhead. I le rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and his heart was joyful. The ship seemed like a tomb ; the engines had ceased throbbing, and the ship lay motionless. Swede flew up the companionway three steps at a time. A long pier, built perhaps by the com- pany. extended from a smooth, glaring white beach into the bay for a distance of an eighth of a mile. To this wabbly skeleton-like structure the Cavalier was moored. As Swede leaped upon the gang plank, a wheez- ing. screeching contraption of iron began rolling along the wavy line of track from the opposite end of the pier. Up North he remembered seeing something like it.—they were called donkey-en- gines.—but this collection of junk! Swede swung his starboard leg over the guard rail in readiness to drop down among the sharks below in case the steam junk wagon should jump its snake-like track when it came opposite him. On the cow- catcher rode a short, fat man with a monstrous pith helmet. This hat he would remove every few minutes and mop his forehead with a flaming bandanna handkerchief. As the car came nearer a royal salute of three blasts on the wabbling- voiced whistle was given. Hello, sonnie! I'm the company's agent. Where you goin'? Look out for snakes and sun- stroke. don’t go in swimming, bay full of sharks— best leave the water alone, lots o’ fever here!’' “Much ’bliged! (Swede wondered how many more cautions this fat little man could give.) Snakes run when they see me. I’m the com- pany's future president, and I’ve had measles, whoopin' mumps, and chicken diphtheria, so a lit- tle bronchitis in the water won’t bother me any,” replied Swede, imitating the manner of the agent. Where's Mr. Petersen?” queried the stout one, mopping his forehead once more. I haven’t said I was real glad to meet you. yet, but come on. Slim, we’ll hunt him up.” They found Dad aft, seated on a coil of rope. “Hello,” piped the spiritual adviser, “got your telegram. Say, Dad, for once in our career wc are backed against the wall. We've had all kinds SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 287 of bad luck, delays without end,—just got the track finished—more trouble with the Dago presi- dent, people won’t work, so we can't get this valu- able timber cut, we’re dished. Somebody starts a revolution and these born lazy men work like slaves to earn money for dynamite, gas-pipe can- nons. and tin swords.” “Man. we’ve got to make these ear-ringed fur- riners work!” bellowed Dad. “We’ve got to! Wc can't wait here for imported help : it means out- ruination. Others have as much claim on this timber as I have, and they are coming on the hop- skip-and jump to make their claim good by hook or crook.” That morning Dad and a part of the crew left the ship to inspect the timber and railroad and to try to hire help. They returned at noon realizing the folly of attempting to hire these people with mere money. “Come on. fellers.” said Dutch, “explore this mistake in the earth’s creation, or in other words, the half-hearted landscape.” Brimful of eagerness the boys raced up the companionway. vaulted the rail and ran a mad race down the burning hot planks to the shore. Once on terra firma they looked about,—no sign of life except the sandfleas in a long embankment of dazzling white sand. Once atop the roll of sand, the four looked down to where the island’s only street began and wound between a straggling line of stores and houses of bamboo with galvanized iron roofs. The rickety track could hardly be seen among the dense woods on the slope of the hill behind the village. 'The boys continued on their way into the village, singing lustily. Their voices died away as they listened at the door of what appeared to be a saloon. From the open door issued the sound of buzzing Hies and deej) snoring. There was nothing here worth bothering. Across the street was a single-story building upon whose walls were pasted highly-colored advertise- ments. It appeared to be the general store of the village. The door was blocked with packing boxes and could not be opened. Still there were no signs of human life. Finally they came to a bench beneath a scragly tree. Here they sat for a time to enjoy the comfort of shade. Their prospects of adventure appeared small. “Say, fellows,” said Swede, “let’s start some- thing lively—a revolution for instance. Did you hear that dumpy little agent telling Dad that these stuck-up greasers won’t work unless it’s to earn money for powder and cap-pistols. It we find something to fight over, they might help Dad get the timber out and supply the mills within the stated time of his contracts.” It was a capital idea, the others said, but they had no experience in starting revolutions. They would play cards until an idea occurred to them. Swede left the three in disgust, and walked slowly over a little rise in the dusty road; his eyes saw a wonderful sight. The wonderful sight was nothing other than a pretty Spanish girl, but a pretty girl, of all things, was the last thing he had expected to see here. She was picking her way down the trail through the short shrubs and beautifully flowered vines to the road. Xot until she reached the road did she see him. A little exclamation of surprise es- caped her. an American was not an every-day sight here. “I — I — I’m much obliged to meet you, Scnorita,” Swede felt for his hat, but it was gone; he remem- bered that the cook had stolen it. She merely gazed inquiringly at this big yellow-haired youth with the dirty tanned face and neck, the still dirtier blouse and duck trousers. Usually Swede ran when a girl looked at him inquiringly, but this time the chills left him ; he became bold enough to tell her who he was. “Oh! You look so funny, senor,” she mur- mured. with a queer little accent. “Sect! Sect! speh a funny name. I have heard of your father, he is the so rich man who takes our wood. I hate your father for that and so I must hate you.” “That’s encouraging.” said Swede. “Smarty, I’ll return the compliment.” “Complecmecnt! what a fonny word! My name is not Smarty, it is Mclonita.” Swede thought of the pictures he had seen of little pickaninnies eating watermelons. There was no resemblance whatever, therefore the title of those pictures, “Melon-Eaters,” should be changed. “But Senor, I must not be seen here with you,” she said, with a frightened look back at the villa. “My father would scold me and make me do more penance in the lonely hut in the woods. I go now to feed my pets.” “Then I go, too.” “No, no you must not.” “But I must,” he persisted. She led the way through the undergrowth and tangled vines to a little pool surrounded by wil- lows. A flock of wild ducks flapped upon the tiny pier and fed from her hand. Swede wondered where she had learned to speak English. While he wondered she seemed to read his thoughts. 288 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ‘‘You try think where I learn talk English, Senor? A long time ago I lived up North, I went to many cities, to New York, Boston. My mother is from Connecticut, she learn me while we were there. But, ‘Sect,’ I was af-freed, I like to come home.” Swede grew silent, lie was thinking of a thou- sand things at once. What a queer, pretty little wild creature she was! His meditations were interrupted by a noise in the brush behind them. Turning like a flash he beheld—well, what would he call it? A human being, to be sure, and a rather good looking face, but what a costume,—only at masquerades and on snake charmers at the beach had he seen such togs. A true bull fighter, indeed, glaring as though he might devour his victim at the least provocation. “Hello. Don James Alonzo Peter.” No answer, more stares. The “Don simply ignored Swede, and turning to the girl, he asked:— “Who this you talk to so nice?” There fol- lowed a heated discussion in Spanish. Swede knew it was about him, but understood not a single word. “Say. there, if you talk Apache Indian, Mon- golian, Dutch, or Irish I’d understand a heap more. It’s awfully impolite.- If Pm in the way, Melon- ita. just sav the word. I’ll mosey along.” “No, no, senor.” “Hum, has he got a mortgage on you, is he your—your—’’ At something Melonita said the Don burst forth into a string of oaths. Melonita tossed her head defiantly; her manner spoke louder than her words. Swede slipped a long arm around the Don's neck, caught his nose and twisted it sideways with a jerk that made the bones of his neck snap. “Senor. you haf’ insult me. You shall die, die, DIE. Bah! senor, you are beneaP me, but I will fight you—I will keel you—yes, keel you. I tell you, peeg that you are, I am to be the President soon, but I fight you.” From some part of his tight fitting spangled knee-breeches, Don produced an old relic of a pis- tol and pointed it with a trembling hand at Swede's face. “Look out behind you!’’ shouted Swede. The ruse worked! As the Spaniard turned, Swede kicked the gun from his hand and then picked him up by the ankles and held him head downward in the stagnant waters of the pool. When he was finally drawn back upon the pier, he brought forth a mixture of dirty water and original Spanish oaths. Being released, he fled over the hill, stopping only long enough to shake a threatening fist at Swede. “Do you know. Senor, you will be arrest ? They will lock you up: no one can find you, and mebbe you die,” said .Melonita with a tone of anxiety. Huh! The crew of the Cavalier could wipe out this whole dried-up island,” Swede replied boastingly. The sun was sinking in the west, capping the crest of the waves with a gold filament. The blazing sands had already lost their heat, and the cool, breezy southern night seemed to be stealthily creeping in from the cast. Swede was slowly plodding down the road toward the ship. Suddenly he heard the beat of horses' hoofs behind him. Turning, he saw a band of horsemen whom lie rightly supposed to be the mounted police or the cavalry of the island. In the lead rode the Don who had lately fled over the hill. He seemed to be the leader of the band. Before Swede could realize that he was the object of their pursuit, they had surrounded him. Swede towered head and shoulders over the tallest. In a second they had sprung upon him, clinging to his arms and legs like terriers. Shak- ing his arms free, he felled the nearest of them with quick, short blows. I hose who were downed clung to his feet, and bit his legs like rats. This was a new way of being made a captive, but he was equal to the task of warding them off. Kicking his feet free, he backed away from his pursuers as he fought. He was nearly clear of the melee, when the report of a heavy rifle sounded almost in his ear. A burning pain ran through him from head to foot. His left arm dropped limp with a spurt of red coming from his shoulder muscle. Turning, he saw Don holding the smoking rifle. Surroundings and thought began to be vague and far away in Swede's mind. He knew he could now run. but he would not! No, he would stay and beat the entire police force. In a second, the police were upon him, kicking and stamping viciously. When Swede again awoke, he was in a raging fever. The sun was shining through the grated window of the concrete cell in which he was con- fined. lie wondered, in a vague way, whether it was morning or evening, and with this thought on his mind he once more dropped off to sleep upon the straw. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 289 The three boys finished their game of cards, stretched themselves, and wandered back down the street to the saloon. A hum of voices now issued from the open doorway. To the left of the bench on which they seated themselves a Cuban stared insolently at them, and then continued his conversation with a dirty, ragged Mexican. It iss a mcestek, he was saying, we will not hat it; we will fight. Righto! Senor, said Bob. You should fight. You should all be earning money and make fight ‘like ze decide.' as you say.’’ Bob had had no idea of what they were saying, but the remark was one which started things go- ing. After these islanders had had a prolonged siesta and a little bit more, they completed it by lounging in the saloon. Thus in a second, a little group of excited faces surrounded the three. Dutch, after a long harangue in which he ap- pealed to every corner of his hearers’ hearts (if they had a heart), ordered them to rise to arms, to earn money, and buy the cannons, powder, etc. If they could induce their brothers, they would be (as a special privilege forwarding the cause of the revolution) allowed to work for a few days for Dad Petersen, and thus earn money. Dad was indeed surprised to find the entire lower class of the people gathered about the agent's office the next morning. When each one signed for a week's work in the forest, he was awe-struck. He set them to work at once, cutting, trimming, and scaling the valuable woods. A host of short, dark skinned men with broad hats and bare feet ran hither and thither, cutting, sawing, trimming, and piling the logs on the little fiat cars. Petty raids were made by the loyalists, cars were derailed, fires were started, and once or twice men were fired at. Bob ‘‘toted” two heavy Colts, Cupid strutted about with an old, long- barreled target pistol and a cutlass, while Dutch carried a carbine and the cook's breadknife; wicked looking revolutionists indeed! At night the three boys directed a part of the work which was carried on with the aid of acetylene searchlights. The disappearance of Swede had. at first, an- noyed Dad, but his annoyance had vanished. Dad was now thoroughly alarmed. His searches had revealed nothing. Had Swede gone in swimming, and the sharks got him? Had he been murdered? What had become of him? Dad's eyes sparkled in the moonlight, his legs and arms stiffened, cords in his neck stood out like heavy ropes, and his nostrils widened in passion. The feeling was gone as quickly as it came. The muscles re- laxed and the flashing eyes filled with tears, his whole frame shook with a sob he could not re- press. It was nearly morning before Dad awoke. When he did. the first, thing he saw was a figure in white slij) over the stern rail. As the figure gained the deck, the crack of a rifle was heard near shore, and the bullet cut its way into a pile of rope at the bare feet of the white clad figure. “Is it Dad, is it Swede's father? she asked as she drew closer. By heaven! It's a girl. exclaimed Dad as. tor ti.e first time, he noticed her features in the gathering light. “How did you come here, and what do you want now that you are here?” “I swim, Senor, I come to tell you of Swede. “Among those sharks you swam out here? What do you know of Swede? Tell me. quick!'' They catch heem. Senor, they all catch heem, they shoot heem. and put heem in prison. Mebbe he die, Senor. They catch me. too, I die then. Pedro, he is mad. See! See. they are there now, Senor; they catch you. kill you. no more revolu- tion then. My father go, then Pedro is president.” Dad rushed for the companionway. From the cabin wall, he took a Savage sporting rifle, jabbed a Colt forty-four into his holster, and .leaped for the pier. At the end of the pier, he found the three boys, lying flat on their stomachs behind uplifting spiles, taking turns shooting at the appearing heads of the police. Thinking that more of the crew would perhaps come to the aid of the boys, the squad turned their shaggy ponies toward the prison. The four pursued the flying squad, and by the time the prison gates were reached, the volley from the heavy forty-fours had broken up the band. Some kept on to the prison while the others fled to the woods. Leaving his companions. Bob skirted the high wall. An olive colored, wicked looking face ap- peared over the wall. They exchanged shots, and the face and shoulders dropped forward on the wall. A scragly tree grew close to one corner of the wall. Scrambling up this tree and walking out upon its only branch, Bob was able to reach the wall top. The enclosed area into which he dropped looked very much like the backyard of a Boston apartment house, a two by four affair 290 SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR with a tiny building with a grated window in the corner. Shots from within were heard. Dad, Dutch, and Cupid had effected an entrance, and were shoot- ing at every person who resembled a soldier. The terrified group tied into the prison yard to find themselves confronted with Bob’s murderous looking forty-fours. Swede lay on the heap of rags in the oven-like cell. His eyes were wild, and his limbs and cheeks had wasted away. The sound of the shots had brought him to his senses for a moment. A cockroach crawled from a distant corner, sat upon its hind legs, scratched itself, and seemed to wave a salute to Swede. How funny it all was; he wanted to laugh, but something held his laugh- ing organs; he wanted to shout Welcome to our cell, brother roach! Did the Dago get you, too? For the first time he noticed that his whole shirt was covered with blood, a part of his left shoulder muscle had been furrowed by the heavy ball of Pedro's rifle. The heavy iron door swung open. Swede gazed at the kindly face of his father, and with a smile on his lips dropped back into unconscious- ness. The breeze from the sea played among the vines surrounding the bungalow veranda. The fluttering leaves reflected the morning sunlight, a thousand dancing butterflies they seemed to Swede as he lay on the porch sofa. Melonita sat nearby picking lazily at a mandolin. Her father, chair tilted back against the wall, and his feet upon the railing, sat with a closed book on his lap, and his long beard dropped forward on his chest. While the fever lasted, it had been severe; so severe, in fact, that it nearly carried him over the great divide. The care that Melonita had given him together with the help of his former strength brought him safely through. Swede longed to throw off the dainty white sheets which covered him, and run like a deer down the slope to the distant shore, and plunge into the cool water. Melonita, how long am I to stay here? “To-morrow, Seet, you sail. How 1 wish you could stay here always!” A blush crept up from her neck and spread over her cheeks. “It will be so lonely.” Oh. well, that dicky little Don will keep you company.” “But Pedro is gone, thank heaven.” Gone where? Did Pedro try to stop some of those bullets. I can dimly remember hearing the crack of the guns; it is the last thing I do remem- ber. Tell me, Melonita, what the rumpus was about.” She told him in her queer little way all that had happened. “To think that Dago crippled me with that cannon, and kept me from the grand coup. But, Melonita. are my father, Bob, and Dutch all murderers? Didn't they kill Pedro to get me from prison ?” Xo. no, no, Senor, you do not understand. When the wood and wax bullets hit them they think they arc dead. Only three men were much hurt.” A great load was lifted from Swede's mind. I low he wished he had been with them. What fun it must have been. Melonita, I’d start a revolution, and get sick every day if you would be the nurse. But I guess I’ve had all the revolution and adventure I want, for a time, at least. Some of our fellows might have got hurt-; but we never think of that till things are all over. This gun-play was all foolish, and our revolution was a grand failure.” “But it helped my father; he is, you know, the president once more.” Melonita drew her chair nearer the cot. .Sect, she said in a low tone, you don’t know how much this fight has done for me. Some day 1 am going to that big place where you come from. I can go to a school, a college. Papa say I can go, now that he is president. You don’t know how much we owe you ' To me? No. I came down and picked a fight like a hotel ‘bouncer It is like the ‘heaping of coals of fire business’ to be brought back to life in such a handsome style.” There arc owes, or what you call ’em, debts, are what you say that word.” “Canceled,” he finished, drawing her to him. “And here's the receipt.” Their lips met for a second, and then she disappeared through the French window. “Aur—e—voir.” she called back. Aufwiedersehen! he answered. A cool breeze, a breeze filling the boys with greater energy and strength, blew off the distant shore. While the four sat singing in the moon- light on the deck, the music of the voices and mandolin blending with the swish of the water over the bows, their thoughts were filled with strange imagination. One boy’s thoughts seemed always to turn in one direction, that of the wild, beautiful, black-eyed girl of the lonely little southern island. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The present Radiator staff makes its farewell bow with this issue. At the beginning of the school year, when we shouldered the responsi- bility of guiding the Radiator through one more year of success, we set forth as our purpose to produce a paper -f all-round excellence, and made the following statement in these columns:— Realizing, as we do, how much is expected of the Radiator, it is our strong desire and it will be our earnest effort to produce a paper that will please a set of intelligent, but critical and widely different readers, and which may also be of some literary value. We have never lost sight of our original pur- pose; we have done our best to realize the ideal; to issue each month a Radiator that would be worthy of its name. If we have succeeded in giving our readers interesting material, we are happy. ' In relinquishing our duties as editor-in-chief, we desire to say that we have tried to use impartial judgment in selecting material to make up each month's issue, and to arrange the component parts in the most convenient and attractive form possible. For any mistakes we may have made we can only ask indulgence. The editor is most grateful for the spirit of hearty co-operation shown by the members oi the staff, who have worked willingly and effec- tively for the paper. There arc a few who have done more than was expected of their office, and they deserve more than passing recognition. Miss Pearson, alumni editor, has not only taken care of her department to our complete satisfac- tion, but has made excellent literary contributions from time to time. Miss Sullivan, her co-worker,, though at times handicapped by ill health, has; also made several contributions in addition to the alumni notes. Richards, the sporting editor, has- injected much originality and life into his depart- ment, and has stuck to his job faithfully through- out every season. The class notes are, without doubt, the most, widely-read columns of the paper, and if the Radiator has attained any success this year, some share oi it is due the class editors. The position of business manager is by no means the least important. The effect of the business manager’s work docs not appear on the surface, his accomplishments arc not seen in print, but the Radiator without a good business- manager would be like a fiddle without a bow. There is music enough in the fiddle, but it takes- both fiddle and bow to produce it. So the edi- tors might gather a flood of literary contributions, but how could they present it to readers without the business managers? In this regard the Radiator this year has been extremely fortunate. If the paper could have each year as efficient a business manager as Shaffer has proved, its suc- cess would be almost insured. Mr. Shaffer, working quietly and effectively, has himself been a radiator of interest and zest. Fleming, his first assistant, has been one of the most valuable and reliable members of the staff. One evidence o£ 29 2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the efficient work of the business managers is shown by the large number of advertisements. We are grateful to the instructors for their ready counsel and lively interest in the work, and especially to Miss Merrill, the Radiator's long- continued friend and counselor. Finally, we wish to thank sincerely our con- tributors 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 en- deavor to make the Somerville High School Radiator a paper worthy of its name. ► ► . The baseball season is practically over. The team has experienced the ups and downs which follow the majority of high school nines. Start- ing with a great number of young and inexperi- enced men and a few veterans, Coach Tift has built .up a remarkably well balanced machine. The team, although it started off with a spurt, had its -usual mid-season slump at a vital part of the season. Hut owing to the unexpected de- feats of the league leaders and the remarkably fast game that Somerville has been playing lately, the ‘■championship” is no longer a star setting in the far east, but a comet speeding toward our zenith with lightning rapidity. May its rays fall upon us. r At this season of the year it has been custo- mary in these columns to speak a lengthy word of valedictory to the Seniors. For now we arc about to sunder our associations and pass beyond the portals of the school. Hut this is the natural course of events, and neither recollections of the past nor speculation as to the future can be of any avail. Suffice to say, then, that to each member of the graduating class we wish a happy and successful future; to the undergraduates we bid a fond adieu; and for Alma Mater we wish long life, fame, and honor. The Senior class may well be proud of its Class Day. Each detail of the programme was ex- tremely well carried out. The oration was de- livered in a forceful and graceful manner: the poem and class ode were excellent, well worthy of the authors and the class. The impressive ivy and presentation exercises served to make the day a memorable one to all present. r, n k K The following Radiator staff was chosen for 1912-‘13:— Editor-in-chief.......... Y.

Katherene Kelly gave a very entertaining read- ing, entitled: “Rosalind’s Surrender.” Josephine Simpson, Arthur Quimbv. and George Molen also very ably recited appropriate selections. Colonel Darwin C. Pavcy addressed the class. In a most pleasing way he told of his experiences in the Civil War. and showed some of his relics. He spoke of the many advantages and better edu- cation we enjoy as a result of that war, and of the high privileges now 'before us. Colonel Pavcy also spoke to the Junior Class, and Fanny Lipshires. Josephine Rourke, Harlan Worthley gave Memorial readings. Jesse Dutellc, who was prepared to read, was unable to do so because of illness. The first and second year classes observed the day by short exercises in their own rooms. fiDcbals to debaters A joint meeting of the Lincoln and Somerville High School Debating Clubs for 1913 was held on Thursday. June 13. The clubs were well represented, and gave the year a royal send-off. To those debaters who took part in the interscholastic debates with Brookline and Newton were given medals, those rewarded being William Parks. David M. Lip- shires. Francis J. Mahoney. Clinton W. Carvell, John E. Lavertv, and Eric A. Johnson. A surprise was given Mr. Hatch when he was presented with a gold watch fob similar in design to those awarded the team. Mr. Mahoney made the presentation speech, in which he spoke of the work Mr. Hatch had done in preparing the team for the debates, of his untir- ing patience in helping the team out of its difficul- ties of preparation, of his loyalty to the Red and Blue in sacrificing valuable time and pleasure to win glory for the Somerville High School. Mr. Hatch responded with appropriate re- marks. expressing his surprise and thanks. Since this was the last meeting of the year, it was voted to adjourn till September. — fl bi Blpba PU3 completes the fourteenth year of the Phi Alpha sorority. The members have spent many good times together at the monthly luncheons. Gentle- men’s night was held in January at the home of Edith Hodges, where a very enjoyable evening was spent: and on April 8, at Anthoine Acad- emy. the annual dance took place, which was well attended and proved a great success. In May came the initiation—and the following girls were chosen: Marion Slade, president; Mildred Carr, secretary: Phoebe Underhill, treasurer; Marjorie Robinson, Ruth Lane, and Madeline Coy.

Hart, of the graduating class of the Somerville High School, will preside at the organ on graduation evening. On the Senior evening he furnished the organ music in the play, entitled “A Summer Night’s Fantasy.” Mr. Hart is a pupil of George E. Whiting, one of the best known composers and organists in the state, and has played in churches in this city and elsewhere. Mr. Hart was president of the Somerville High School Debating Society and vice-president of the Interscholastic Triangular Debating League. He intends to enter Boston University in Sep- tember. and later will study law. Undoubtedly music, though not his life work, will be his life- long delight. SOMERVILLI-: IIKill SCHOOL 1 KHATING TEAM.

Entertainment Enjoyable programme Given b ? dramatic Club, Glee Club, anb Orchestra A large audience filled Unitarian hall to over- ' nving on Tuesday evening, May is, when an en- tertainment was given by pupils of the high school aid the Somerville Playgrounds Association. Members � i the Girls' Dramatic Club, the Arion Orchestra, and the Bovs Glee Club contributed a programme which by its variety and merit won enthusiastic applause and approval. Friend’ of the high school pupils had just cause for pride in the skill and finish which character- ized all parts of the performance. Four short plays were presented by different groups of girls. All were amusing and novel. Miss Bertha A. Raymond, of the high school faculty, had charge of the entertainment and drilled the gfrls in their preparation. The plays were well staged, the scenes and setting contrib- uting their just proportion to the pleasure of the evening. While this audience was undoubtedly present with the purpose first in mind of witnessing and enjoying the work of the Girls' Dramatic Club, it nevertheless had an attitude of friendliness and interest in the appearance of the Senior Glee Club, which gave a vocal offering of real merit. Careful training, good phrasing, good tone, spirit, and dash all characterized their performance. The High School orchestra, under the leader- ship of Raymond Chaffee, tendered in good style selections at different points in the programme. Their work gives promise of the organizing in the High School at a near date of an orchestra of larger membership and of greater variety of in- struments. Indeed, one of the most gratifying features of the evening’s entertainment was the evidence of •the existence in the high school of talent which, under proper organization and encouragement and with a suitable place for assembling, could Re- developed so as to give public exhibitions of musi- cal and dramatic proficiency which would be alike gratifying to the public and educative to the pupils. A xylophone solo bv Royal Fitch and a vocal solo by Miss Grace K. Rood completed a well- balanced and most enjoyable entertainment. Others who took part included Iola Johnson, Kuth Frazee. and Elsie Abrams in “A Nice Quiet Chat”: Lillian O’Xeil. Mildred Bowlby, Edith Gonia in A Wrong Package”; Helen Farnham, Edna Dearborn, Edith Gonia, and Elsie Abrams in Our Aunt from California : Blanche Brookes and Ruth Lufkin in Mrs. Oakley's Telephone.” Amber M. Butters and Raymond Parmer acted as pianists. ------------------------------- Trail n bt Sigma Banquet The Tau Phi Sigma Fraternity has just termi- nated a successful year by a banquet at the Hotel Th rndikc on Wednesday, June 12.

J he bottom now sloped downward and in front of U' stretched a broad, hilly plain which I knew was the bottom of the ocean. Soon we came to a rocky slope, which resembled a tee for a golf ball in shape, but not in size. Bill told me it was the bottom of Boston Light. He said we could climb up it. to the base of the lighthouse, and there we could sit down and rest. We proceeded to do so; and as we were doing so. the light of the sun suddenly was eclipsed. - It left me in darkness half way up the slope. Bill hollered” and told me not to move, at it was only a cloud and would pass in a minute. But the warning came too late. In trying to find my way in the dark my foot slipped and with a wild cry I fell down headlong. I fell and fell in utter darkness until I landed on the floor of my room all tangled up in the bed- clothes. Mv dream was over. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 297 MAI ION HAUL 1012 Class Editor.

Even to those who have not met with success each and every one cannot help a feeling of regret in leav- ing the buildings that have sheltered us for the past four years. Cheer up, the dark, dreary, cruel world is before us and in this we wish every- one the greatest of fortune and success. Here’s to 1912, the best of all the years, and when we call for a reunion let each and every one respond in a most loyal manner. Few would realize that our class had such won- derful dramatic talent.

Some to distant climes, others to the various schools and universities, while the remainder will pursue the various walks of life, but whatever may be one's fortune a backward thought or reminis- cence of the happy days spent at the Somerville High School should be always pleasant to recall. “Like other great historians, Bancroft.

Classmates, the curtain has fallen after the sec- ond act of this four-year drama. Can you hear , the applause coming after a thing well done or is your audience hissing and groaning? The answer doesn’t matter so very much, but if you hear the discouraging hissing, are you going to tackle your next year's work with the enthusiasm and the in- dustry which constitutes a successful climax? Think it over. Meanwhile—au revoir. According to Cass: A little French is a dan- gerous thing. Therefore, as a little is dangerous all French must be far more dangerous.

There are many good stories in it.—Green and White. We have received the January number of the Radiator, which we consider, without exception, the best exchange paper we have received this year. To begin with, the cover is of high grade, the colors blending well, and the conventional design giving a touch of quality to the paper. The inside paper is of much finer quality than the average of school papers. The literary depart- ment is very good, and contains many fine sto- ries, but it ought, in our opinion, to have a cut at the head of the column. This number, as others in the past, contains an Alumni column to which too great praise cannot be given.— Coburn Clarion. Radiator: The literary department has ex- cellent support. From the Radiator we learned that Somerville High School has organized a hockey club. This idea of devoting the student attention to winter sports instead of to indoor games, such as basket ball, is an excellent pian. More schools should take an interest in the healthy winter sports and organize such a learn. —The Racquet. Your last number, Radiator, is up to your usual high standard, your literary department and class notes being good.—Lawrence High School Bulletin.

Its stories arc interesting and the whole paper is well written.— Dean Megaphone (Franklin, Mass.). Among our exchanges we like the Radiator particularly well. Its stories arc interesting and well-written: its class notes, bright and witty, and its exchange column most unique.—Brocktonia. The Radiator is perhaps the best paper that we have yet received. It is finely balanced in all departments and contains many suggestions that smaller papers might profit by.—Nautilus (Water- villc. Me.). The Radiator is attractive and very well ar- ranged.—Golden Rod (Quincy, Mass.). I want to read every bit of this Radiator. It . is a splendid school paper. The cover for this month is attractive as well as appropriate.— Gleaner (Pawtucket, R. I.). The Radiator is a delightful paper.

Somerville pulled ahead early in the con- test. but Newton nearly made up the lead in the ninth. Nothing but sheer luck saved the Red and Blue from defeat, for Newton had scored twice in the ninth inning, had men on third and second, and one out when Spalding attempted to steal home on a squeeze play. His teammate, Hyatt, bunted Holmes’ delivery. If the ball had bit the ground the game would have been New- ton's, but fortunately Hyatt popped up the sphere into the air. and when it descended Mitchell was under it. Mitchell then made an unassisted double, ending the game. Norton, Quimby. and Mitchell excelled for the visitors, and King, Nash, and Wellman played well for Newton. ----------------------------- Somerville Slaughters ntnentsell, 10 to 0 Melrose High made her second trip to Somer- ville on May 25. and was decisively shut out by the score of 10 to 0. The game figured in the Suburban League series, and the result brought joy to the large number of rooters who were pres- ent. For some unknown reason, Wentzell was in the box for Melrose, and his delivery was batted so hard that it was necessary for Ross to go in in the last of the fourth inning. The Somerville boys seemed to have found their batting eye, and they certainly clouted the ball hard. Robertson got a homer and a two-bagger. Hirshon smashed the ball clean over the canvas fence into the brook, and everybody else got their little crack at the unfortunate Wentzell. Ross’ appearance made a difference, as not a hit was secured off his masterly pitching. Ross was one big puzzle from start to finish. Whittaker, for Somerville, pitched a splendid article of ball, and disposed of eleven opponents. Only two hits did he allow, and “Bunk” Cheis- song gained in those. For the remaining part there was absolutely nothing doing for Melrose. Hirshon, Robertson, and Norton supported Whit- taker well, and are worthy of high mention.

May 27, the Manchester High School nine, the champion team of New Hampshire, traveled down to Somerville, and was rudely jolted by the local boys, who won out. G to 4. Somerville played an excellent game, and was ablv assisted bv Umpire Hamilton, whose work was punk. If there was a single close decision in the game—and there were several of them—Man- chester got the wrong end of the argument. Carl Holmes was in the box for Somerville, and proved a puzzle to the visitors, who could get only six hits. Quimby covered the initial sack in good shape, and Robertson played well at sec- ond. Norton and Mitchell both had two errors chalked up against them. For Manchester, Teehan, Hale, and Snow ex- celled. Richards showed some good stick work, getting a slashing two-bagger in the eighth in-, ning. The summary:— SOMERVILLE HIGH. a.b. b.h. p.o. a. e.

Medford won because she had the ability to hit at the right time: Somerville lost because she could not get to 1''alley when hits meant runs, and because McOuinn had a decided off day. allowing seven stolen bases, and refusing to squeeze the ball with men on the sacks. Whittaker, for Somerville, outpitched Fahey as far as strikeouts and passes were concerned, and lost only because his teammates were not all with hint. Whit fanned eleven men to Fahey’s nine, but was hit freely at critical moments. Somer- ville did some good swatting, three men getting two-baggers. Quimby. Ilirshon, and Leland starred in the batting line. For Medford. Fahey was the crack man. and Day, Condon, and Twombley excelled in stick- work. Lawless and I .radish were prominent for their fine work in fielding, which was first class. The summary:— MEDFORD HIGH a.b. b.h. p.o. a. c.

Everett defeats Somerville Hgain, s to 2 On Saturday afternoon at the Everett athletic field Everett High defeated Somerville High bv the conclusive score of S to 2. Everett was the better team in all departments of the game, and their heavy hitting proved to be too much for the Red and Blue. Whittaker was in the box for Somerville, and pitched well, but received no good support. Errors were frequent, and the kind of baseball that Somerville put up was a disappointment to the many rooters who journeyed over to watch the contest. The poor stick work of the visitors was at the bottom of the defeat, as Murray was found for only two hits. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3i8 McQuinn and Leland excelled for Somerville, while Sweetland, Bold, and Brickley starred for Everett. The summary:— EVERETT HIGH. a.b. b.h. p.o. a. e.

Somerville TOallts Over iDalben, 14 to 3 On June 1, a beautiful warm June afternoon, Malden High journeyed over to the Somerville field, and returned heart-broken at the wrong end of a 14 to 3 score. Somerville was the superior team in every part of the game, and the expert batting of the Red and Blue knocked Doyle out of the box in the fifth inning. Flanders was substi- tuted. but Somerville kept piling up the score until nine long innings of joyful comedy were com- pleted, and the sun lay low in the west. Somer- ville showed a most inhospitable spirit towards the visitors, taking fourteen wallops at the spheroid, while Malden got only five. Scanncll was tried in the box, and pitched a splendid game. His pitching was very similar to that of Carl Holmes; only three Malden men fanned, but they were unable to find him for hits. The few hits which Malden got were kept well scattered, and Scanncll had the visitors under his hand every moment of the game. Merkle, at first, covered the sack like a professional, and let noth- ing get past him. His stick work was great, as lie got three hits out of five times up. scored three runs, and got a stolen base. McQuinn equaled Ou ini by in run getting, gathering in three tallies. Hirshon was right there with the willow, garner- ing two good bingles; and Norton also starred, getting three hits and a stolen base. Mitchell, at third, made some beautiful stops of hard ground- ers, getting five assists and three putouts. In fact, every man on the team played a good game. Lynch was substituted for McQuinn in the ninth inning, and showed that he can handle the ball in excellent shape. For Malden, Kiliion and Osberg excelled.

The weak hitting of the Red and Blue batsmen was the cause of this unnecessary defeat, for only five binglcs were secured off Richards’ fine de- livery. For Somerville Leland was easily the star. Scannell also put up a great game. ---------------------------- Somerville Shuts Out Everett, 7 to 0 With Walter Whittaker pitching one of the best games of his career, Somerville whitewashed Everett High at Somerville field on June 5. Whittaker's work starred for the winners as he struck out thirteen batsmen, and held the visitors to three hits, all of which were of a scratchy va- riety. ‘‘Whit’ also got two clean hits, helping along the scoriug. The entire Somerville team played great ball, making eleven assists, and also showed, conclusively, that Murray was no longer an invincible pitcher. Nine hits was the total of the Somerville column, and they came just when they were needed. Norton was the big run- getter. coming across the plate with three tallies: Mitchell came close behind with two. hittaker, Mitchell, and Leland each had two bingles to his credit. Quimby. on the first sack, played well. McQuinn caught much better than he did in the Medford game, and got a pretty two-bagger, which would have been a home run, save for the right fielder's lucky stab. For Everett, Sweetland and G. Bricklcy played well. The summary:— SOM FRY 1LLF HIGH. a.b. b.h. p.o. a. c.

PL and Parks, 'Pi, tying for second place with 18 feet, 2 inches. The half mile was the next event on the day’s programme. Hardin, 'll. got a good start, and kept his lead the entire distance, finishing in first place; time. 2.13L Williams, of PL came in a close second, and Dohanion. '11. took third place. Berry, ’ll (P. G.i. was really the first man to finish, but he was not a point winner, being in- eligible. Hirshon took the baseball throw easily, with a throw of 2T0 feet. 5 inches. Luciano. 13. took second place, and Parker, T3. heaved the pellet for third place. The next event, the running high jump, was very close and interesting. Williams, M2, and i arvell.- 'l l. tied for the fir t position, with a jump of 5 feet. 3 inches. Harris. '13. and Heffer- nan. '12, tied for second place at 1 feet, 0 inches. Bob” Garland.

Pitman, of M2, walked away with the 220-yard dash: time, 25 3-5 seconds. Parks, '12, took sec- ond place, and Heald. M l. third. Nine men lined up for the mile ' At the crack of the starter's pistol Ouimby, M2, leaped to the front, and. with a pretty stride, set the pace for the rest of the field. Hardin, M4. was close at his heels, and at the turn of the basin he forged ahead. Hardin kept his lead for three laps with Ouimby a few feet behind. The gun was fired at the third lap, and the runners strained every muscle and nerve for the home stretch. Ouimby fought gamely to make up that three- foot distance between him and the flying heels of Hardin, but it was impossible. Hardin crossing the tape in first place, with Ouimby second. Tom West. '13. passed two men on the home stretch, and gamely took third place. Hardin's time was 5 minutes. IT seconds. The final event of the day was the relay race be- tween M2, 13, and '14. York, of M2, took a flying start, and by mag- nificent running was the first man to put the handkerchief in the hands of his teammates. M2 kept the lead, and finished first; time, 1.45 1-5. 14 took second berth, and '13, owing to an acci- dent. did not finish. Standing of the respective classes in points:— 12 M3 -M4 S i J-H 27 COMMENTS. Mr. Hatch deserves a lot of credit for the sue- e of the track meet. He was the agitator of the track movement in the beginning, and lias pushed it hard all the year. On account of the creditable showing of class spirit and enthusiasm, track athletics for the year If 13 will get a good boost. From the showing i the contestants it is a sure thing that Somer- ville High School- could put an aggregation on the cinder-path and take-off” line that could compete with any in the Suburban League. The high jump mark surpasses by one inch the Suburban League mark for last year. Good jumping, Williams and Carvell! Harris. M3, with a little more height, you could i -mpete with the big fellows! You made a game showing with a jump of 4 feet, 10 inches. The number of entries for M3 was woefully small compared with the other classes, but the fellows of '13 who won points deserve a pile of credit. Size doesn't count when it comes to heaving the baseball, does it, Hirshon? That throw of 270 feet, 5 inches was pretty good for a little fellow.
