When you think of having your eyes examined and of the possibility of wear- ing g’asses, the matter of cost naturally Cost As in everything else, good work, careful, skillful work, is apt to cost more than work less good. There is nothing you buy for your personal use that you ought to be more careful about, that you can afford to have the best of. than these glasses that you are going to depend on to preserve and assist your eyesight. The reason that we have succeeded so well and that our business has grown so satisfactorily is that the Best Work is given in every case and a Reasonable Price is charged. THEODORE F.

N Western Canada in the city of jjTj| Grandview, where one of the most important brandies of the Great Northern railroad is situated, lives {LCjmG J the youngest and most popular engi- neer on the G. X., namely, Bob Burke. Bob Burke had begun at the bottom of the lad- der. worked himself up to his present position, and on May 1st was chosen by the board of direc- tors to run the pay special over the mountains to the mining town of Saskatoon, where several gangs were constructing a new road. As the gangs had to lie paid a careful engineer was always needed to run the special; for the mountain passes and tunnels were very danger- ous. Also, the fact that outlaws made Death Valiev, where the railroad passed, their den. proved that a man of tact and ability was needed at the throttle. Bob had gained notice by running a train through a flooded tunnel, and when he told his mother of the appointment she said:— “Be careful of the outlaws, my boy; for you know that they still linger in the mountains. They may come back to their old haunts, and they would not hesitate a minute to derail the special, and you would probably be killed.” Never fear, mother. I'll take care of myself,” said Bob lightly, and kissing his mother, he hastily snatched his lunchbox. and hurried to the station where Barney, his good natured fireman, was oil- ing Old Trusty,” one of the best engines on the road. Barney had gotten plenty of steam up, and everything was in readiness to start. Just as the conductor was going to give the signal to start, the president called Bob to his side, and said:— My boy, in the second car is nearly a million dollars. I am doing an unusual thing in placing an engineer as young as you are in charge of the special. However. I have full confidence in you. and I feel sure that you will make good. As you know, two engineers have given their lives to pro- tect the company's interests, and for that reason 1 did not think you would accept the appointment when it was offered to you. However, you have, and if you get the special through you will not lose by it. I have placed with you three men. two brakemen, and a conductor. Good-bye, my boy, IDurrag, ’16 06 shake hands, and remember that the railroad is waiting with interest to see the outcome of this trip. Bob. with a determined look on his face which plainly showed that he would make good, shook hands, and hurried to the cab, where he met Bar- ney, who said with a good natured smile:— And shure begorra, the ould man ain’t a bad chap at all, at all!” Hie run from the station to Londonderry Cross- ing was made in safety. Bob and Barney talked about the previous runs of the special, and with much interest looked forward to the outcome of this trip. As they approached the switchtower at Red River. Bob noticed a red light which told him officially to stop, lie whistled for down brakes” and soon the special was brought to a stop, and the switchman handed Bob a telegram which read as follows:— Grandview. Alberta, May 3, 1013. “To Engineer Burke: Rumors received that Monte Mack and gang are in vicinity of Death Valley. Watch out. Rush special. (Signed) Despatcher Meyers.” For a moment Bob was lost in reverie. He was thinking of Monte Mack, half-breed outlaw, who had for years defied all capture, and who had boasted of his many holdups, when suddenly he was awakened by the conductor’s voice which said:— Come! come! hurry up! we are losing time!” Bob hastily pulled the throttle open and the special continued on its perilous journey. They were now approaching Arait Hill, the most dangerous pass on the railroad. Bob slack- ened speed, and as they rounded the curve which gave them a view of Death Valley, he saw a red light swinging to and fro. He drove the special at a fair rate of speed, almost up to the man. and when he saw an ugly- looking half-breed holding the lantern on the op- posite track, he pulled the throttle to the highest notch of speed, crying to Barnev the one word:— Duck!” Bob did. and bullets whistled through the cab window where Bob had been a minute before. However, it was of no use, for suddenly there SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 was a terrible crash: splinters flew in all direc- tions: the hitherto panting engine came to a dead stop; Rob and Barney were thrown against the side of the cab and knocked unconscious, while the voice of Monte Mack directed his men at work. “Bind the conductor and brakemen—also those two kids, and get to work at the second coach. Wait a minute, here is the key to the door. I found it in his pocket. he yelled. Meanwhile. Bob had recovered consciousness, and upon calling. Barney three times he re- ceived a faint answer of Arc you there. Bob? Where arc we?” “I think we are in the cab. What happened, anyway? It seemed as if a thousand stars dropped. Oh. my head is split! Hark! what is that noise? asked Bob in a subdued whisper. “It must be somebody at work at the safe: now I remember; the train was stopped. We are bound! What are we going to do? As luck would have it Bob espied a small sharp- edged piece of tin amongst the coal. Slowly working his way on his stomach, lie at last, after ten minutes’ of hard work, got the dull edge of the tin in his mouth. Another period of hard work, and he was near Barney, then alongside, sawing the cords that bound his wrist. Hurrah! they arc cut enough for Barney to break them! Barney fell back ex- hausted. The rest was easy. Barney untied Bob’s ankles, found his knife, which the outlaws had foolishly left in his pocket, and freed both. We arc indeed in luck, said Bob, there is no guard in front of the door of the money coach. Monte Mack is not so wise as he thinks he is. Ready! ’Sh! Easy! Creep along near the ground! Now we arc near the door. Can I believe my eyes? Monte Mack has left the key outside in the lock? He has! Did you ever sec such luck, Bar- ney? No. niver! solemnly replied Barney. In the meantime while this was going on. the outlaws were trying in vain to burst open the safe. Suddenly, just as they were going to open their dynamite kit. they heard the sharp closing of a door, and the click of a key in the lock. Now they were the prisoners, and it was in vain that Monte Mack and his gang cursed and kicked the door, demanding to be let out: they blamed each other for not having forethought to place a guard over the boys. Each now saw that his self-com- placency and boasting had led to his capture, which would in return lead to death: for Monte Mack was wanted on several counts for murder. But it was too late. “Well, now that was a foinc deed! said Bar- ney. Don’t crow. returned Bob. we are not out of the woods yet. Hurry! Find the conductor and brakemen. then come back here, and we wilt begin to clear the track. The three men were very proud of Bob. but as there was plenty of work to be done, no time was wasted in talking. After the track was cleared, and Barney had gotten steam up. Bob once more took his seat at the throttle of Old Trusty. pulled it open, and after three hours’ journey they drew up along- side the platform of the station in Saskatoon, three hours late. Oid John Higgins, the head boss of all the gangs, was on hand to meet them, accompanied by three sheriffs and eight miners who were to help transport the money to the bank. When Bob told his story, people’s eyes began to grow large. I can hardly believe it.” said one sheriff. There is a reward of $5,000 out for his capture, and we shall be glad to pay it to the pluckiest lad we ever met—the capturer of Monte Mack, the famous outlaw. Whoop her up. boys, three cheers! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Bob blushingly thanked the men for their com- pliments. and reminded them that the outlaws were in the second coach. With the miners’ aid, the sheriffs soon had the prisoners cowed, and after the money was trans- ported to the bank, they were confined in the jail. It would take too long to tell you of Bob when he got home with the reward and receipt of the money; of the president's thanks; of his mother’s pride, and so. to make a long story short, we will say that Bob was promoted to be superintendent of the Western division, and Barney to be an en- gineer. and will leave them to enjoy the reward of their courage. The Senior class greatly regret that Miss Isabel Petrie has been obliged to give up her school work. Miss Petrie has suffered much from ill health, but with heroic courage has persevered to the Senior year. She hopes to be sufficiently recovered to return next year. The class extend their sympathy and good wishes to her. 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Mbat’s tit a IRtcIthame” 36)?

In lad only two remained, and these Vi'ere ‘1,1 the morn of their departure. ----------i Both the girls were eagerly pack- ing away their clothes. Ethel was kneeling before a wide-opened trunk examining her pictures which had just arrived from the photographer's. Doris Dinsmore, her roommate, was cleaning her section of the room. Doris. called Ethel to her friend, who was at that moment taking down some banners, “my pictures have just come; want to sec them? They are not bad. Indeed I do, Teeny. exclaimed Doris, using her pet name for her chum. ‘Tor Heaven’s sake! don’t call me that. Any- one would think that you were talking to a kitten. I haven’t got used to it yet and never shall. Here, what do you think of them?” If you don’t stop grumbling at what I call you now Ell call you ‘Teeny I key.’” retorted Doris, laughing and taking the pictures. Kindly leave tile ‘Ikey’ off then whatever you do! Don’t make it worse.” “'Hie pictures are simply great!” replied Doris. “Will you do me a favor?” “What?” asked Ethel. ‘‘Do you want one?’’ Xo. I don’t want one. I want two.” Two. What do you want two for?” “Well. I’ll tel! you. I have a cousin Donald of whom you have heard -me speak frequently.” Ethel nodded assent. I have described you to him and have told him many times what a dear girl you are. He doesn’t believe me because he fell in love with a young girl and it seems she jilted him, so Mr. Donald doesn’t believe that there is another young girl existing whom he can love, see?” finished Doris. Ethel laughed. “You little scheming match- maker! There is a saying that ‘children shouldn’t play with fire.’ ” At first Ethel was reluctant but finally yielded. “Good!” exclaimed Doris, “I am going to mail it now.” “Oh. dear.” complained Ethel. “Just to think. Doris, that we have been together these four years and that now even this is going to end. Of course I ought not to feel this way especially as I am going home, but since mother died, it doesn’t seem so much like home, bather is very good, but his business takes up most of his time. Oh, by the way. the last time he wrote he said that he had discharged the housekeeper sc� that I could attend to those duties. If I didn’t like it he would get another one. Isn’t he a dear? This year I have my brother too, he graduated this month from college. Besides I am going to have you with me for some time this winter. It is awfully good of your mother to let you go away out to Califor- nia uist to sec me.” “Yes, Teeny, and you’ll have to return home with me. Think of that!” But. how I’m going to miss you, now! Every- thing that is good seems to end so soon for me,” she sighed, with a far-away look in her eyes. Then she looked at the solitaire on the third finger of her left hand. Doris noticed the direction of her glance. For four years these two girls had been good friends. Once Doris had asked Ethel if the diamond ring had been the gift of her father, but tears had come to Ethel's eyes as the latter shook her head but still she offered no explanation. Doris never again tried to force her friend’s confidence—a fact which Ethel had noticed and for which she was grateful. October with beautiful clear weather was at hand. Ethel was sitting out on the long veranda waiting patiently for the hour to come which would bring Doris to California. Soon her brother drove up in the automobile to take her to the station. “Call father. Ethel. He said lie wanted to go, too,” said Chester. In less time than it takes to tell it they were speeding down the beautiful avenue toward the depot. Just as they arrived the train was pulling in. “What a long train! T wonder in which car she is.” said Ethel, craning her neck to see bet- ter. “Chester, if you see her before I do be sure to tell me.” admonished Ethel, forgetful that Chester had been away at school on Doris’s last visit, when they lived in Oregon. “How can I. sis, when T don’t know her.” an- swered her brother, but he might as well have ad- dressed his words to the wind. “Oh, there she is!” shouted Ethel, running to SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 the steps of tlie car where a girl with a valise was at that moment descending. Hardly had she landed when, dropping her bag, both the girls were locked in each other's arms. By this time Mr. Stone and Chester had ap- proached. so Ethel introduced her friend to her brother after Mr. Stone had given her a hearty handshake. I'll take your bag, Doris,” said Mr. Stone. Chester and Ethel, take care of Doris. The ride home was very different from the one to the station. Ethel and Doris spoke so much, and so fast, that Mr. Stone began to wonder if the girls knew what they were talking about. Soon they stopped before a beautiful large yellow house. Welcome to our home. exclaimed Chester as he opened the door and helped the girls to alight. What a beautiful place you have here. Teeny! exclaimed Doris. Here. Sam. take these bags,” ordered Mr. Stone of the servant who had opened the house door. Now. Doris, you arc to share my room with me. explained Ethel as the two girls were going up the stairs arm in arm. That will be great, kiddo,” answered Doris, who did not like the idea f staying alone. While Doris was taking off her garments she glanced around the room. Her eyes soon wan- dered to the mantelpiece, where to her surprise she saw the picture of a young man. At once she became interested and walked over to it. How do you happen to have—? but stopping in the middle of her question and quickly turning to Ethel, she asked instead: What a fine looking chap! Who is he. Teeny? But seeing a pained expression on her companion’s face, she added: Never mind about it. now. You can tell me some other time.” After several questions had been answered about girls with whom they used to associate when at school. Doris said: Teeny, you remember that picture of yours I sent Don. Well, he is head over heels in love with you. Hm—there arc stacks of things I'd like to tell you but I have promised never to utter a word. Really, it is too funny for anything. she finished in peals of laughter. “What disconnected sentences, Doris! It must be funny if it strikes you that way. As to your cousin’s falling in love with me. that’s nonsense! A mere joke in fact! Remember that he has not seen the reality. Tell me your secret, you myster- ious creature! Come, let us go to supper, and afterwards I hope you’ll think it over and tell me.” if « On a large settee under an enormous apple tree sat Doris and Chester. Their conversation seemed interesting to both, the ending of which was emphasized by a nod from Doris and immedi- ately a solitaire was placed on Doris’s finger. Then, she jumped up but was caught by Chester and made to resume her seat. Bulling out a colored envelope, he showed it to Doris. The con- tents proved to be a telegram. What a surprise this contains for Teeny!” What surprises are in store for her. you mean, don’t you. dear? he asked, at which the poor girl blushed as any other girl would have done had she been in her place. But really. Chester, said Doris for the hun- dredth time. You can’t imagine how surprised I was when you told me that he was a coiicge chum of yours. All your folks know him well, then. No wonder lie is so anxious to come here and claim his bride. Oh. but didn’t 1 have all I could do to keep quiet when I saw his picture on Teeny's mantelpiece. What a story a diamond ring and a framed picture can tell!” she finished mysteriously. You see by the telegram that he’ll be here within half an hour. Let’s go to the station. Ethei won’t know the difference. I’ll get the machine and when we return with him we’ll tell her that sombody is downstairs wishing to sec her. then.— exit for us. All right. laughed Doris. They were soon winding their way towards the depot. From her window Ethel saw the machine going out of the grounds. Of all things! That certainly beats all!” she ejaculated. Chester monopolizes Doris so much these last few days that I hardly have time to see her. They certainly enjoy each other’s company. I wonder if Chester is seriously in love with her or just flirting. I gave him a good warning. He must be in love with her.” she mused. Mv. how dusty that mantelpiece is!” so ex- claiming she started taking away the ornaments one bv one, until she came to the framed picture of a handsome young man, tall and light com- plected. four years her senior. His large blue eyes seemed to watch every expression of her face. After looking steadily at it for a long time she murmured: Frank, what made you stop loving me? If you thought you had made a mistake in 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR your choice why didn’t you come to me like a man and say so? Now that mother is dead I am so lonesome, i crave so much for your love. I won- der why y u stopped writing. You moved your place of residence without notifying me. Oh, Trank, how little this world is to me without you.’5 What a long time she had been thus talking to herself. Fully three-quarters of an hour, but sud- denly she was called back to grim life by Doris's step on the stairs. Quickly placing the picture on a nearby chair, she continued her dusting. Doris entered. Didn’t you hear that bell ring? That poor soul rang and rang the door bell. It was a bless- ing that your brother and I came to his rescue,” fabricated Doris. Who’s 'his'?” inquired Ethel. Oh. -I didn’t say ‘his,’ did I? Well, she sighed dropping into a chair, I am not to be blamed because I ran up the stairs.55 I guess it is Louise Clarke coming for a book I promised to lend her.” answered Ethel, at which Doris heaved a sigh of relief. “This is the book. My dress is dirty but I am not at all ceremonious with Louise, and I’ll ex- cuse myself.” “Oh, please don't go that way. Put on your blue voile. It is very becoming to you, and you do look so untidy.’’ Well, you certainly arc frank. Don’t you see that it would be a waste of time? I haven’t fin- ished dusting yet, and I'll only have to change it again.” Waste of time.5 Pooh! You know how that girl can talk when she once gets started. By the time she goes away it’ll be supper time. Come •now, here’s your dressj” What has happened to yoif? Evidently it doesn't agree with you to go out in the machine alone with Chester. Whoever heard of Louise Clarke talking so much. I have all 1 can do to get half a dozen .vords from her. But to please you I'll put it on. although I ought not to encourage your impudence in this manner.” In less time than it takes to tell it Ethel with her book under her arm ran down stairs and walked into the library, while Doris went out to the garage to meet Chester. No Louise Clark greeted Ethel, but seated in a chair with his back to the window was a man reading a newspaper, which was held up in front of his face. The room being dark, Ethel took it for granted that the man was her father. Then ■the idea “popped” in her head that Louise Clarke had left some message for her so she inquired: Father. Doris told me that Louise was here. Has she gone?’5 No answer! Ethel thought that her father was probably fooling with her. Father!” she called again, this time emphasiz- ing with a stamp of her foot. Finally seeing that he would not respond she went up to the arm- chair in which he was sitting and grabbed the pa- per Immediately expecting this attack the stranger stood up. Ethers book fell to the floor with a bang! She was as one stunned. The color rushed away from her face. What a glorious dream! Oh. if it were only true. She was afraid to utter a sound for fear of waking and finding herself in a dream, for hadn’t it happened many a time. The last time, she had made up her mind not to be the ii� 'sr to speak. He was approaching. His strong arm was slipped around her waist. Ethel wished that the dream would not end. Ethel. Ethel!” called the voice, now so near to her ear. It was as one in anguish. He thought she did not recognize him. Mi. it's you at last,” she cried with a little sob. My darling!” he murmured, pressing his lips to hers. How I have longed for this moment to arrive.55 The rest would sound too silly for other ears than theirs. The two souls who had longed so much for each other finally obtained their wish. What more could they want? An hour passed, and they were interrupted by Doris and Chester. Mm! Where’s your right arm, Frank? in- quired Chester. “Same place your’s is. Around a young lady’s waist. My future bride’s waist.55 ()h. Frank, have you met my friend, Miss Dinsmore?” inquired Ethel. At this question all laughed. “Guess 1 don’t need an introduction to my own cousin, Don,” answered Doris. “Don!” exclaimed Ethel, surprised. Oh. now I understand what the trouble was. My name, dear, is Frank Donald Harris, but my cousin has a craze for naming people and calls me ‘Don.’ When she spoke of you she called you I eeny and I never recognized you by her descrip- tion. until I saw your picture.55 Say. old chap, you were right when you said that I had my arm around my future bride’s waist.” I didn't say that. I said that—or I meant to say that you also have your arm around a young ladv's waist.” [Continued on page 12] SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i r “JLhc (Lbaoel in the flllountams” .16 ? Xois jfra. ee, '15 36 IGH in the Alps, nestling lovingly at the foot of a rugged peak, is a small village. The picturesqueness of its houses and of the dress of its people shows that it belongs to that humble but charming race, the Swiss. Hav- ing noted these things, the eye is. almost at once, attracted to a small, gray building of roughly- hewn stone. This is the chapel, St. John’s in the Wilderness,” famous because of its sweet-toned bells. Surely this is a scene well worth admiring, but what we wish is to hear the song of the chimes. It is Sunday morning. All the village lies in reverent stillness. In the very air is a touch of perfect solemnity. Then a sound, sweet and pure, softly reaches our ears. Now it is hushed: now grows clearer and clearer. The mountains rever- berate. sending back the tones again and again until they fade into the distance. Now they are playing the Doxology; and there rushes to our minds a time when we stood on tiptoes and looked wonderingly over the pew about the dimly-lighted church. The people begin to go slowly by to the chapel, with pure, holy expressions on their faces as the chimes softly play the old hymns familiar to 'I'lie echoes die away until they become like the distant humming of a bee. Now they are gone, and again that reverence fills the air. Even the wind stops stirring the trectops. We seem to be enchanted, for every nerve is strained as if we are waiting for something to happen. The birds seem to have stopped singing, waiting for their time to burst into melody. And now a sound breaks the stillness of the air. It is what we have been waiting for. A hymn, unfamiliar'yet pure and sweet, falls upon our ears. Although we cannot distinguish the words, each tone seems to have a meaning of its own. The villagers, standing with uplifted faces, seem to be pouring out praise, love, hope, and thanks in that one simple melody. Now the tones grow slower and slower, fainter and fainter, until the hymn ends in one soft chord. As the sun sinks beyond the horizon, and the shades of night begin to lower, the chimes re- sume their pealing. While the sun illuminate,s the clouds with soft shades, the bells sing their lulla- by. Now the soft colors are gone, and twilight drops in. 'flic chimes have stopped their ring- ing. All the world is at rest. Breamlno J6 ?

IDa Chapman, ’15 B S 1' people agree that by far the most beautiful of the Pacific islands are the Hawaiian group, also known as the Sandwich islands, about 2,000 miles from San Francisco. They were discovered by that world-re- nowned navigator. Captain Cook. Originally inhabited by cannibals, “Sandwich ’ is a rather suggestive name. The group, being situated within the limit of the trade winds, has one of the most equable and healthy climates in the world, and is one of the few tropical places where the devastating work of the hurricane is practically unknown. These islands are now an- nexed to the United States, but about two or three years ago, the last native queen was buried. I will tell you a few of the most interesting facts about Honolulu. It is the most important town, and is situated on the island Oahu. On approaching it. after having gone through the Kaiwci channel with the Leper island Molo- kai on the left, you see land of a distinctly cone- like shane. which, as the ship nears, formulates itself into Diamond Head on the right, with that famous extinct volcano, the Punch Bowl. in the background. On your left is Pearl Harbor, which, when finished, will be the strongest fortified naval station in the Pacific. The entrance to the harbor is rendered rather perilous by a large coral reef which opens up as one rounds Diamond Head, and at low water, under the old native rule, the com- mon prisoners may be seen working there. Go- ing up the harbor to the wharf, the usual crowd of natives, wearing leis. (wreaths of brightly colored flowers) around their necks, wait to wel- come the strangers. I he points of interest are many, but I can de- scribe only a few. A very pretty and interesting drive is out to the Punch Bowl, along a straight, wide road, with tall palm trees on either side, and fine private residences surrounded by semi-trop- ical gardens, to within a few hundred feet of the toj) of this volcano. Formerly the tourist could walk to the top and look down into the crater, now the United States has made a fort of it. On the way back, stop at Waikiki for afternoon tea on the balcony of the hotel of that name, which overlooks the beach. There one may sit and watch the natives riding their surf boats, one of their greatest amusments. and they practically live in the water all day. Another place of in- terest is the museum. There, nearly everybody goes to see the great decapod, which was washed upon the beach after a heavy gale. It is so im- mense that its body covers the whole roof, and its leg';, with their treacherous claws, like those of the tiger, hang 1 � wn the walls to the floor. The old queen's palace, like barracks, and the govern- ment house, within a few blocks of each other, are all points of interest. I he Hawaiians themselves are the laziest race in the world, and are called the “Lotus-Eaters.” Ihe lotus leat is their emblem. Their favorite amusements are surf-riding, as I have mentioned, and spearing salmon by moonlight. If you happen to know- one of the natives, you will most likely be asked to a feast, which is a treat no one should miss. Wearing leis, you sit on the ground, around a pot, which contains “pig and poi.” Poi is a native vegetable. This is eaten with the fingers, and for a favored guest the host will wind around his fingers what he con- siders a dainty morsel, and pass it. Of course it would be an insult to refuse. At the finish the Kanaka girls dance die Hula-hula or muscle dance. Having seen the most interesting places of this beautiful town, so with the leis still around your neck and the “AlohaV of the natives ringing in vour ears vou sail out of the harbor. “Mbat’s tn a Nickname” [Continued from page 10] “Well, she is niv future bride!! he explained, at which Ethel was so glad that she kissed her brother and nearly smothered Doris with kisses. The letters which Ethel had written Frank had been returned with the words “Moved awav” writ- ten -� 11 the envelope. The same thing happened to Frank. After this was explained to Chester the latter said: “Come on in and tell father. He is in his den.” Thus it happened that after that time Doris never again nicknamed any of her acquaintances. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3 Cbc Smrit of tbc jfovcst HE night air was pregnant with mys- tery. A faint shower of moonbeans shimmered through the dark foliage of the forest, giving a ghost-like ap- pearance to the fitful shadows. Fol- lowing, the silvery moon-lit path beyond the dense forest to a distant clearing, a heavy sheet of diamond mist was seen rising to- ward the hills. But, what is that gleam of pure white visible in the moonlight? Perhaps, it is the trailing gown of some fairy queen! But no, now the girl moves slowly and thoughtfully down the shining path. Even a fairy would move with less com- posed grace! I'hc dampness of the mist caused her sheer white garments to cling to her lithe figure, revealing each graceful movement. -Suddenly the forest awoke: the shrill cry of a hoot owl to his mate echoed and re-echoed; then, at intervals, the low caroling of a nightingale was heard. At the same moment, the girl, too, sprang into motion. Quickly catching her scarf from her hair, she swung into a wild dance—the dance of wood- land nymphs. Every subtle movement was sym- bolic of some creature of the forest. Her voice, as she sang in time to the dancing, caught and echoed the song of the nightingale. As she ceased at last, exhausted with her efforts, a dark figure emerged from the shadow of a huge tree trunk. Approaching nearer to the girl, the man spoke: “That was excellent. Miss Mercian; I feel confident that if we can reproduce this moonlight scene, your act. will be the greatest achievement in years. By way of reply, the girl softly sighed. I pray that it mav please my audience! I've tried so hard all my life to be truly worth something—to do something worth while! And now. after years of struggle, you have succeeded. What shall we call this scene? added the practical stage manager. The Spirit of the Forest,” replied the girl, rev- erently. 1foalf va IRccIt 36$ iDaroarct SHirftee Out in the bay, there stands a rock, A rock, all brown and gray, And on it stands a beacon white. That guides the ships by day. This rock stands high, a sentinel, A few miles from the shore, And in the harbor, that it marks, A fleet did ride of yore. A licet of hardy fishermen That rivaled Gloucester's own, And by that rock sailed to the Banks, And by it sailed back home. t Tis said that sailors of that fleet When they did outward sail, Threw pennies on the rock, that they Might weather every gale.

Surely not Parson Morill! Boy! Can’t you speak?” ()h. yes!” answered Stephen, but I don’t know how much die parson's been hurt. Might have broke his neck or------” Begin at the beginning and tell me how it hap- pened.” demanded Mrs. Brown, sinking into the nearest chair. Well, you see.” deliberately began Stephen,“as I was passing Parson Morill’s stony pasture. I saw him picking cherries, way up in the tree. Just as I was going to salute him, down lie came, head over heels, and landed on those awful rocks. Then Mrs. Morill came running out a’nd sat down be- side him, and—but Mrs. Brown, haven’t any of the neighbors heard?” Xo. indeed! replied Mrs. Brown.“I am always first to hear of a death, a wedding, or a christen- ing. Then forgetting both salt and sugar, she put on her bonnet, and started to tell Mrs. Jones the awful news. 'I'lie rumor spread from one to another, and soon quite a crowd had gathered at the Centre. Tiie men came in from the fields and found cold, or unprepared suppers, deserted houses, burned pots. and. a little later, their wives. They soon learned that poor Parson AI orill was killed by a fall from the cherry tree. A little later a crowd of supperless deacons set out to comfort the be- reaved Mrs. Morill. When they had covered most of their three-mile tramp from the Centre, and could sec the white fence around the late parson’s house, they stopped to decide who should be spokesman for the evening. While they were trying to decide whether Dea- con Jones or Deacon Brown could best fill the position, a familiar carriage, drawn by a sedate iiorsc. slowly drew around the bend of the road. The deacons all started, looked at one another, and solemnly declared: There’s no such things as ghosts.” Meanwhile the carriage drew nearer and nearer, and at last stopped before the fright- ened deacons. The parson, for the occupant of the carriage was none other than he, called each one by name, was surprised, but pleased to meet them all to- gether. and before the deacons could find their tongues, inquired the cause of their meeting. After a painful silence Deacon Brown found his voice, cleared his throat and said: We came here tonight. We came to—we wished to find out how much you had been injured by your fall this afternoon. I need not say that we are both pleased and surprised to find your injuries so slight, to find---” My fall this afternoon? Why brethren. I have had no tall! interrupted the mystified parson, gazing in bewilderment at the deacons, who in turn gazed helplessly at one another. Then they all crowded into the parson’s carriage and drove to the Centre. The women were still discussing the “sad end- ing of Parson Morill,” when they arrived at the Centre. There in the midst of his flock the par- son declared the rumor false. “Although. he continued. 1 cannot deny that I gathered most of my cherries this afternoon, but I did neither slip nor fall. I cannot possibly see-----’’ but here he was interrupted by the women, who had caught sight of Stephen Brooks. Mrs. Brow’ll declared that he and he alone was to blame for all the commotion at Dover Hills Centre. Deacon Little collared the culprit and dragged him before the parson. This!” lie began, shaking Stephen, “This is the cause of all this fuss. Young man. do you know that you have this day either intentionally or un- intentionally told a falsehood, that has caused more confusion than a fire? That has caused many of us to be supperless at this hour of the night? Young Stephen, shaking the hand from his collar, indignantly replied: 1 told no falsehood, Deacon Little, either intentionally or otherwise. As 1 came by Parson MoriU’s this afternoon, I saw him up in the cherry tree. I saw’ him come down the ladder, and land on the rocks. I didn’t know how much he was hurt, or if he was hurt at all.” But you told me.” declared Mrs. Brown, “that he came down head over heels. That is quite true. replied the lad. Of course lie came down head over heels. 1 low would you have had him come down, walking on his hands? When he landed. Mrs. Morill came out and sat down beside him. and helped him measure the cherries. I am sure that I have stated all facts correctly, have 1 not. Parson Morill?” “My bov.” replied the parson, in his most severe tone, but his eyes were twinkling, “any- thing told to deceive is a lie. and if you are ever tempted to twist the truth again, remember the supperless deacons of Dover II ills and refrain.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 EDITORIAL'S The members of the Radiator staff of 1913-H make their debut with mingled feelings of pleas- ure and misgivings. The high standard set bv our predecessors convinces us that we must exert ourselves to the utmost to maintain that standard. We wish to make Yol. XXIII of the Radiator worthy of its predecessors. Our greatest help will come from you. school- mates. What we need most is your co-operation. You can give us this co-operation:— First—By subscribing for the Radiator and thereby assure us of our financial success. Second—By contributing interesting and useful material, including class notes and stories, or con- tributions to the Alumni and Club columns. All the old departments will be retained, includ- ing the Letter Box, which is open to the discus- sion of any questions which are of general inter- est to the school; and the Calendar, in which all the happenings in the school will be found in chronological order. From time to time there will be columns devoted to the Manual Arts, Commer- cial. and Cooking departments. Schoolmates, give us your heartiest co-opera- tion and make this volume of the Radiator one which will be a standard to all succeeding volumes. r r r We have on hand a few miscellaneous copies of the Radiator, dating from October, 1910, to the present time, which any pupil can obtain by apply- ing to a member of the staff. Now that the large additions to our school have been completed, we are for the first time a really united school. Although for the past two years the school has been nominally united, the fact that the Freshmen had to attend at an afternoon ses- sion has kept this from the reality. With the com- pletion of the additions, we are now able to com- fortably provide seating capacity for the 1.800 pupils of our school, doing away entirely with the afternoon session which was such an inconvenience not only to teachers and pupils but also to the parents. � � •� ► The football season is now in full sway. Let us not be down-hearted by the loss of the first game. Instead let us get together and give the team such a backing that the Spirit of ‘13 will be a slogan for all succeeding classes. To show this spirit it is necessary to have a large attend- ance at all games, and to cheer the team spirit- edly. If backing the team can give us a champion- ship one, let us have it by all means. r � ► r Freshmen, the Radiator gives you its heartiest welcome. You are now to enter that period of school life from which you will be graduated either into a business life or into some institution of higher education. Begin now to prepare for it. Do a day’s work each day,” and if you do. you will be sure to make your work in high school suc- cessful and enjoyable. i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The school suffers to an unusual degree in the loss of a group of valued assistants, some of whom had been long connected with the faculty with signal success. Mrs. Mary Garrick Thurston, under whose talented leadership the Art department has accom- plished results attempted by few high schools, has taken charge of the Art department in the Brook- line High School. Miss Bessie Davis, efficient worker in the Eng- lish department and in the Vocational Bureau of the school, has taken a position in the Metro- politan Ai t Museum. Xew York City. Miss Xatalie Smith, a vivacious and inspiring teacher of the English department, adds another to the long list of teachers who have left us for the New York schools and will teach in the Erasmus Hall High School. Brooklyn, X. Y. Miss Mildred Hayes, the pioneer teacher of our recently established Cooking department, will teach the same subject in the schools of Porto Rico. 9 r Manuscript for the Radiator must be written on one side of the large theme paper. A line must be left between the title and the beginning of the article, and a half-inch margin on the left side. The paper must not be folded or rolled. The name of the author must be at the top of each sheet and the pages numbered. 9t 9 9 9 An orchestra composed of representatives of the several High Schools of Greater Boston is now under way under the leadership of a Somerville High School boy.

Wish it had turned out right, though. and his dolorous expression was some- what marred by the fact that his mouth was full. Was it good? but what do you think of the Jabbcrwock? asked the Exchange Editor. “Oil. it’s a good paper, but I think an Exchange column makes a paper a lot more interesting, and Jabbcrwock hasn’t any. answered the small critic, selecting with care another apple. “1 should think the Item would consider its editorials more important than its School Notes, and arrange its order differently. remarked the Exchange Editor, after a pause. The ()racle doesn’t have any stories a fellow can enjoy. suddenly announced the small brother. “They’re all very learned articles and themes. Who’s going to read those!’’ he demanded, dis- gustedly.

While the outlook is not as shining as it has been in cer- tain other years, nevertheless it is very promising and we’re out to win. We tender our best wishes and brightest hopes to Captain Anderson and the football squad for a winning team. Let us hope that first game with W ellesley will prove the truth of the adage: A bad beginning makes a good ending. Remember, you “Somerville red bloods who back the team, when you want a touchdown, CHEER, and CHEER LOUD, and your chances of getting one will be much better. They used to cheer in the “good old days which are often re- called with pleasant memories, they made the touchdowns, too. touchdowns that meant cham- pionships. Are you going to help the team win that championship? Well. then. CHEER. The shifting of Captain Anderson from the back- field to his old position at guard seems to have been one of the immediate outcomes of the game with Wellesley. His added strength and fight has shown out very impressively in the line and has given it an entirely new aspect. Both Jim Robert- son and Wiley will also prove hard men to pass in those deciding games provided they are going at their best. It is evident that if the team’s line turns out to be a strong one. it would be a valuable asset in producing a favorable close of the season, for with a powerful bulwark of defence, such a man as Jim Robertson to do the kicking, and a fast open style of play on the offence, the chances to win would be greatly improved. This appears to be the ] licv oi Coach Mahoney and by all means is the best. Is everybody on edge for those Suburban league games? They’ll be here before you know it. Judging from the showing made by Rindgc against Tufts' second team early in the season, it looks as though that Rindge-Somerville game on Thanksgiving Day will be one grand struggle. Here’s hoping that Jim Robertson boots them between the uprights hot and heavy this fall. Fa- gin. of Waltham, seems to be the only shining star in the drop-kicking department that is left among the school bovs. Our Jim has it in him if he will only round into form. The value of a drop-kicker at critical stages in a game is inesti- mable. How many times have teams gotten within twenty-five or thirty yards of the opponent’s goal line, and sometimes even nearer, only to find that its punch has been repulsed. Here is the time that the quarterback, when he secs his op- portunity wavering, is at a sore loss without a man to drop the ball over the crossbar. Countless games have been won or lost, as it were, by the services of. or the lack of a skillful drop-kicker. Take for instance the game with Medford last year, which was won by Robertson’s wonderful feat, also the Dartmouth-Harvard game of last year was won by a drop from the field, and so. too, the Xavy defeated the Army two years ago, and Waltham beat Somerville last year bv one point with that field goal. Harvard had four excel- lent opportunities to win its game with Yale in It)11, but failed for want of a man to do the deed. W hat made Bricklev, of Harvard, the talk of the country last season? The answer is his ability to drop-kick. Such conditions arc prevalent in every game and should be met with. Drop-kick- ing is one of the greatest scientific branches of the game of football and one of the great sources from which the game takes life,' it makes a contest fascinating. Well, let us hope that our own Jim SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 23 has a few more kicks left like that one of last fall's Medford game. Joseph Murphy is showing grand form at end, especially in covering punts and getting his man. The team greatly misses the services of Erling Doane. Nevertheless, Hayden is playing a slash- ing game at fullback. He is only a Sophomore, and should develop into a star: he is a natural full- back. W iley lias made quite a reputation breaking through.” Oh. no! not a second-storv man. only a football player. Speed Anderson sprained his hand in the Wellesley game. ----------------------------- Somerville Xoses Opener Somerville lost its opening game of the season 1 • Wellesley. 1 5 to 0. The game was played on Somerville Field, and the defeat of the home team was due chiefly to poor team work. It was Wellesley's third game, however, which may account somewhat for its splendid showing. The game was not Somerville's best exhibition of football, however, and much improvement is expected. J. Robertson, A. Anderson, and Wiley excelled for Somerville, while Stover, Putnam and Kuhle- wein put up a good game for Wellesley. WELLESLEY. SOMERVILLE. J. Carey, l.e..................l.e..

The showing made by the Somerville outfit was a de- cided improvement over that of the previous game with Wellesley. Lawrence kicked off to Somerville to start, and was down with the ball like a flash. The home team was unable to pierce the opposing defence and punted to the middle of the field. From here, by a eries of line plunges, the boys from the great mill city pushed ahead until Somerville was in the shadow of her goal posts. But here the defence stiffened and forced the offence to try a field goal, which failed. I11 the second period S .nerville started from her own thirty-five-yard line and by speedy work made two first downs. Then it was that Hayden broke loose and ran through the middle of the whole Lawrence team, all but ten yards of a touch- dr wn. This inspired the team with new life and in two rushes Bowen was over for a touchdown. The attempt at the goal failed. In the fourth period. Lawrence led another grand charge down the field, and a 1 mchd nvn looked inevitable, but at this moment Somer- ville's stonewall defence courageously withstood the attack and held. With but a few minutes to play. Ellis, by ex- cedent interference and clever running, carried the ball from bis own twenty-yard line down the field for a touchdown. The ball was re-called, how- ever. to the opponents' forty-yard line, where Ellis was claimed to have stepped offside. The final score was made by Bowen, who was materially aided by another brilliant run by Hayden and a tackle play by J. Robertson which brought the ball to tlie one-yard line. Joseph Murphy. Wiley. J. Robertson, Hayden, and A. Anderson shone for the home team while Redman. Fleming, and E. Perry played well for Lawrence. The game was played at Recreation Field. The score:— LAWRENCE HIGH.

Y hm was «lie queerest, dreariest, dullest, dirtiest little shop in all the kingdom. 'I he door sagged on its rusty hinges, the panes of glass were broken and the vacancies partially filled with papers, flic stone steps were w rn in the middle, and half buried in the dirt. The sloping roof nearly touched the ground on one side. ()ne morning a party of jolly, chattering trav- elers was passing along the street. Suddenly a girl in the party stopped and motioned to the others to listen, baint, soft sounds of music pro- ceeded from the little dirty, dreary, forsaken shop. “Oh. it is a master touch, and tis a Cremona. I know it is. I must go in!” And dashing away from the crowd, she plunged headlong through the sagging door. I do wish that child would he more normal, and give me sufficient warning before she dies off on tlie heels of every whim. The speaker was the greatlv-astonished. long-suffering companion of the girl. The young offender was an only daughter of a wealthy and eccentric American railroad owner. Her mother had died when she was a baby, and her education and training had been the results of the combined eccentricities of her father, and the wilfulnesses and desires of the child. She had an absorbing passion f r music, and in spite of her father's threats, punishments and pleas, she had studied with great masters, worked hard and steadily, until her glorious voice was the wonder of her friends and the pride of her teachers. A vi din to her was sacred, and at her touch became a throbbing, pulsing soul. Yet she loved her father passionately, and his abhorrence of music always puzzled her. and all her attempts to please him with her lovely voice and her violin had been met with such torrents of temper that she finally ceased speaking of her music and her musical friends. She tried to push them into the back- ground ot her thoughts by taking an active inter- est in her father's affairs and friends. She enter- tained his companions, graced his dinners, inter- ested herself in politics and the “market. until he and many of his friends often went to her for advice and help. She knew that her mother was a foreigner, but she had never known of what nationality or of images, 14 what birth and breeding. All her questions on that subject had been met with silence. She often longed for a picture or a trinket of the little lost mother, to assure her that she. too, had had a mother's love and care. Xow. after months of silent longing for her music and her pleasures, like an angel of mercy came the sound of the old Cremona. When the girl entered the little shop, the dark- ness was mottled here and there by patches of venturesome light that peeped in through the vacant panes. In this uncertain light, the girl dis- tinguished a narrow, dusty room, with feeble, tot- tering shelves attached to the walls, covered with filmy cobwebs. In one corner rested a violoncello. )n the shelves were numerous violins of various makes, sizes, and ages. The girl's quick glance found these in a second, and went searching for the unseen, unknown player of the Cremona. In a distant dusty corner, she saw an old bent figure, with face turned away from her. swaying in rhythm with the music f the instrument in his hands. Her breath came quickly. She felt that at sometime, long ago.—it might be in another exist- ence.—she had seen that very figure, had heard that very music, and she knew that he would rise in a moment, turn around, and face her. and speak. She was powerless to move. She waited there breathless, as the man rose, turned, violin still in his hand, came towards her. started to speak.—and stopped, eves wide open and fixed, long white hair falling about his face, lie trembled, and the girl stepped forward, and. laughing slightly, said: “I am afraid I startled you, but I was passing with a party of friends, and heard the music. It was so beautiful that I knew I heard a master musician, and I iust had t« slop. Will you let me take the violin a moment? and stooping, she took it gently frt m his hands, raised the bow. and began to play. 'I he old man sank into his seat again as if stu- pefied. but as the music grew louder, he sat up. and looked steadily at the player, while the throb- bing. pulsing heart of the Cremona swelled in agony, burst in grief and tears, soothed itself in prayer, smiled, rippled with laughter, shouted with joy. and went dancing off in the forest, playing with the shadow and the sunshine. As the girl drew out the last note she became acutely conscious of her auditor, who rose, grasped her wrist roughly, exclaiming: “Malda. it is you— SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3i you have come back. The girl returned to her surroundings with a start. She drew herself away from the man. laid the Cremona on a shelf, and thanked him for the pleasure she had experienced in placing it. But still he followed her. saying rapidly all the while: “Malda. you came back.—«the violin—you came back ! Phe girl looked at him pityingly. “Oh. pardon me! I am afraid you mistake me for some one else. My name is not 'Malda I am Mabel Houghton. and 1 studied the violin with---but before she could finish, the old man had interrupted: I knew it—the same one—I knew it. The girl gently drew him to a chair, smoothed Ins hair, patted his hand, and soothed In n like a child. When he grew more quiet she sail: Now tell me all about Malda.” In a gasping voice, the old man began: N ears ago. I was the greatest violinist in flic country. My wife was the greatest singer in the Berlin )pera Company. When my baby came—my wife died. Then my baby was my only hope and joy in life. She could sing—before she could talk. I made her a little fiddle that she could play when she began to walk. She loved me. She loved me better than the little fiddle that would talk for her. —as it talked for you. One day a young Ameri- can traveler came here to the village. He saw Malda. After a week they ran away—lie and Malda—and she never came back. Ach! Gott! Look at me! You have her hair, her eyes, her mouth. Oh. tell me you arc her child. I know it! You are. you arc!” He sobbed like a tired child, and Mabel began to sing softly, the while holding his head against her breast until he grew quiet, then she told him she had never known her mother, for she had gone to sleep when Mabel was a baby. She would ask her father to come up to the shop, for he was com- ing t� � the village that day. Mein Gott! I know you arc mv Malda’s little one. It is the reward of Heaven for long years of sorrow. I no longer bear evil thoughts in my heart for Malda or Herr Houghton, for love is stronger than hate, and blood returns to its own. It was the inevitable that you came here. It was the Divine Will! Ilis face-was transfigured with light, and trom a pocket lie drew a tiny picture, and held it before Mabel. She saw a replica of her own face.—a very lovely face, with smiling, happy lips. deep, wonder- ing blue eyes, shadowed by golden hair. She bent and kissed the old man, and gently picked up the old Cremona again, and played sad. sweet, haunt- ing. lilting melodies. Suddenly the door opened: a large man burst in. and exclaimed. Daughter! Mabel continued her playing, softly turning toward the old man, who was peacefully sleeping, with his Malda’s pic- ture on his breast, his Malda’s daughter by his side, and his beautiful soul with its Author. The strong man wept. The girl knew that it was the ever-present presence of the little mother of hers that had led her to oppose her father and to studv her music: that had led her at last to the side of the one to whom she owed her genius — the • Id music-master. Swcbtsb Xace-flRatnng By Xois jfva. ee, ’15 36 'I' the beginning of the fifteenth cen- tury. Sweden, having been sorely op- pressed by Denmark, desired to break away from her cruel enemy. After a long and bloody war of twenty-seven years, she succeeded in gaining her freedom. Many interesting stories are told of the valiant deeds of Augustus Vasa, their brave leader, and of his peasant followers. The dove of peace having spread her wings at last over the country. Augustus, to the great joy of the whole nation, was crowned king. One of the chief re- sults of this war was tthc establishment of Protes- tantism. At the foot of a high mountain in Sweden nestles a small village. The people, dressed, not in the gaily-striped aprons which we have seen in Swedish pictures, but in plain homespun clothes, are seated in die doorways: and seem to be em- broidering flat cushions with fine white thread. Ihit we will view their work later. Halfway up the mountain lies the ruins of an old nunnery which was destroyed immediately after the Danish war. The occupants were banished to Prance. I hesc nuns were highly skilled in the arts of weaving and lacemaking, which they taught to the villagers. Todav these arts arc the chief industries of the little hamlet which we are now visiting in our fancy. Let us go back and study the work of the peasants. The verv first process is the choosing of the pat- tern. Many patterns are made up chiefly of a 32 SOM ER VILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR flower similar to a daisy. We can safely assume that a daisy pattern is a favorite. 'Hie design, hav- ing been chosen, is drawn on a piece of soft paper. We are now ready for the placing. Let us watch this young girl who is about to place her pattern. She has on the low working bench before her, a hard flat cushion similar to a hassock. On this she places the paper pattern and fastens it at each corner by thumb tacks. Then she outlines the pattern by placing pins about an eighth of an inch apart n the penciled outline. This process forms a pattern of pins, so she tears away the paper, being careful not to displace the pins. If this misfortune should happen, another pattern must be drawn, and the process of placing re- peated. I� y observing the work of that man in the corner a few minutes, we see that the pins serve as the warp, and the cushion as a boom. He is tossing a tiny shuttle in the air which leads the thread in and out among the pins. How skilfully he tosses it! One false throw would spoil the whole piece of ----------- lace. When the pattern is completed, the finished piece of lace is carefully removed, and moved up until the lower end may be joined to the piece not yet begun. I� y repeating this process several times, the desired length is obtained. This takes a very long time to accomplish, some pieces re- quiring a lifetime. 'Hie finished lace is displayed in a little shop nearby. As we enter the door a ‘bell tinkles some- where in the rear, and there appears a little old lady who smiles and courtesies to us in a most charming manner. Above our heads, from one end of Die shop to tiic other, are stretched strings, from which are hung samples of the laces. 'Pile coarser lace is somewhat similar to Irish crochet, but does not have the heavy appearance of the Irish lace. The finest is so beautiful and delicate that it seems as if a breath would blow it away. Rut we must return to the hotel, and prepare to depart, for in one hour our boat will be on its way d iwi the river, and we shall bear with us some of the beautiful lace of the Swedish peasants. Mas Ibe a Cowart� Xelanfc Gaboon, T4 LTKk PKTKkSHAM was. so every- body said, a coward. In fact he. him- self. admitted it. Way down in his heart though he knew he wasn't a coward. His trouble was that in a game or race of any kind, if his opponents gained the lead, he lost all heart and was easily defeated; but if he r his side had the lead, he was all right and a skilful plaver at hockev, baseball and foot- ball. 11 i freshman year in school he tried for quarter- back in the school team. He had been considered brilliant by the coach and was given a chance in the first game of the season, but the other team made the first touchdown and after that Pcter- shani seemed to have lost all heart, lie fumbled the ball, mixed his signals, and played as though he was afraid of his very shadow. I;. very body called him a coward after that, the coach tried to console his player, but even he thought Petersham lacked courage. It was this way all through his school life, until he reached his senior year, lie had been kept on the football squad every year, not for his playing ability, but because lie was of value on the second team when tliev scrimmaged the varsity. Petersham's school, Norris High, played won- derful football during the fall of his senior year, and were tied with Worthington High School for championship honors in their league. They were to have the tie settled by a game on a neutral field. Kverybody looked forward to this game because it was so important and because it was the last game of the season. The day of the game was cold and clear, ideal football weather. At one o'clock the people began to swarm the stands, and by three o'clock, the time the game was called, the stands were overflowing, and people were stacked around the sides of the field. In the first quarter neither side scored. In the second, both gained a touchdown, but Norris High School's quarterback broke his wrist on an end run, and a substitute quarterback had to be put in. Petersham, who was sitting by the sideline with the rest of the substitues, began to sit up and take notice. If anything happened to the substitute, Petersham would have a chance to make his letter, as lie was the only quarterback left. The third quarter left the score the same. In the last quarter Worthington on a chance play pushed Norris back for a safety, making the score SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 nine to seven in favor of Worthington. Then the Norris sub-quarter was laid out by a blow on the head. The coach turned sadly around and called “Petersham. Petersham peeled off his sweater and bounded to the coach’s side. “Go in there and do your best, you know what this game means.” was all he said. Over the stands fell a hush, the people knew Petersham and knew what he was. Then the orthington followers let out a mighty roar : they thought that the game was already won. As Petersham ran on the field there came to his mind the thought that the other side was ahead, but he banished it quickly with the thought. “I'll show the coach. I’ll show them whether I’m a coward or not. It was Norris’ ball in Worthington’s territory. Quickly he rattled off the signals, first for an end run. next a forward pass, then a centre rush. In the centre rush he felt his right ankle snap and lie knew it was broken, lie faintly heard the time- keeper say Three minutes to play. He knew that there was no sub left and he must play, so he stag- gered to his feet and limped to his position. The only possible chance to score was a drop kick over the goal. The regular quarterback had done the kicking for the team, and Petersham real- ized that it was up to him to kick the goal. 2 l-2( -2!)-!), 24-20-29-!).“ he shouted as lie dropped back to receive the ball. The centre snapped it back to him and he kicked it : he had to use his left foot (a trick he had learned in his grammar school days). Straight and true the ball floated through the bars, the timekeeper called time and the game was won. Petersham toppled over and lay senseless on the field. When he came to. he heard the stands cheering his name, and he heard the coach say: And we thought a fellow who can stand up on a broken ankle and kick a field goal, with his left foot at that, was yellow. Petersham fainted again with a smile on his lips. 5. ©♦ S. .16 ? jfrefrevtck H. Earns, ’16 06 •Jj A ambition has been to be the wireless operator of some great ocean liner. —. having a high rate in transmitting and rWTp receiving. I went into the Charlcs- ■— ---- town Navy Yard and passed a test on the adjustment and operation of the wireless for which I received a radio-operator’s license. In the evening about three weeks later. I was listening and heard the Charlestown Navy N ard giving out the weather reports. The operator predicted a terrible storm at sea. which aroused my curiositv. The wind was howling around the corner of the house, the window panes were rat- tling and the moon shone as clear as crystal. Suddenly, strangely and mysteriously. 1 was on the steamer “Olympia in the wireless cab. It was my duty to operate the wireless from twelve o’clock midnight until twelve o'clock mid-day. and mv reliever took his turn the other twelve hours. W e were well out at sea and the gigantic rollers were rocking the boat like an egg shell. It was 'twelve o'clock midnight and the bell in the cab was ringing, so I took my place at the wireless: if the wireless instruments had not been securely fas- tened to the table, it would have been utterly im- possible to operate the set. It drew close onto three o’clock A. M., and my relief was sound asleep. Presently smoke began to rise all about me. 1 walked over to the door, and looking down on the deck. I saw an engineer run- ning and shouting vigorously: “The oil tank in the hold has caught fire and the whole hold is in flames. He was the only one in sight, and on turning to look at him again I found he had dis- appeared. 1 stepped back quickly to the wireless and sent the distress signal S. ().

Marconi’s great wireless station at the end of Cape Cod. tell- ing me that he Would inform the crew of the Rev- enue Cutter Gresham where the Olympia” lay and her condition. P� y this time the passengers were all aroused and running to and fro on the deck, some wringing their hands, others crying in despair. Several officers were gathered about me watching for fav- orable results. Some of the crew were sending red rockets high into the air. making a brilliant light visible from any point on the horizon. All the lifeboats were out. and ropes bound them to- gether to keep them from drifting away from each other. The water was gradually rising and slowly covering the top deck. 34 SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR In the meantime the “Gresham reported on its wav at full speed and that our red rockets were becoming visible to it-' crew.

I put the light out and took my re- ceiver� off and went to bed. Thus my dream was interrupted. Margaret’s JSarglars 36 ? H oris TO. Covie, neglected to tell you. Margaret, that yesterday, when you were away, I had Jimmie Pierce come and put a spring-lock on the front door. Re- member, and be sure you don’t get locked out. • Ves. daddy3 I’ll remember. Good-bye! I hope you and mother have a lovely time. ‘ If anything should happen that we don’t get home, go over and spend the night with Pruc, said Mrs. Gordon. Good-bye, Peggy. I won- der—oh. if you should go away, see that you lock the doors and the downstairs windows, for I don't want our house broken into! Good-bye! The horse started and Margaret, standing on the steps, waved her handkerchief as long as the carriage was in sight. I just know they’re won- dering what’ll happen to me while they’re gone! 1 wish—Mercv. what’s that? That was the cake which she had put into the oven and com- pletely forgotten. It was burned to a cinder. “’Pears like the day’s begun unpropitiously! she said rather grimly. I wonder what’ll happen be- fore I’m through! The dav before Mrs. Gordon had heard that an old friend of her’s was spending the summer at 1 farbormonth and as Mr. Gordon had business there, they had decided to drive over the next day. But at breakfast Miss Ilepzibah Smith, who acted as help. upset their plans- by announcing that her sister was ill and that she was needed at home. Ordinarily Margaret might stay alone as well as not. but this summer there had been several dar- ing robberies on the point, and Mrs. Gordon did not like to leave Peggy alone. However, Miss Margaret Gordon had no intention of going to I larbormouth. and yet did not wish her mother to give up her visit. She protested vehemently that she was not afraid of burglars, that she knew they would not come near, and that, if they did come, she would not dispute their wishes in the least. At last she prevailed, and her parents drove away, leaving her to her own devices. It was lonesome alone in the cottage, and noth- ing in the least exciting happened after the cake episode, so she determined to spend the day with Pruc Allen, ccordingly. when she had locked the back door and the downstairs windows, she slammed the front door behind her. and set off, blissfully unaware that her kev to the new lock was -:ill lying upon the hall table, where she had put i� so as to be sure to remember it. It was rather late that evening when Peggy started home, having told Prue that she might be back to spend the night if her family had not yet returned. She had expected to find someone at the cottage but it was dark and still. “Evidently,” soliloquized Margaret, this child will have to go back to Prue’s, and I’ll have to go in first and-- She had reached the front door and was searching in her pocket for the key. “What in the world have I done with—oh. glory be! That key is roosting peacefully inside! How ever am I going to get in? And I really must, too! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 After a few minutes’ ilrought she remembered that there was a ladder somewhere in the ham. She could put that to one of the upstairs windows and climb in. Brilliant idea! She had no sooner thought of it than she started after the ladder. In- side the barn it was pitch dark and Margaret could not find a lantern, so she groped her way in as best she could. Whack! She collided with the grain chest, whereupon she stopped for a full minute to tel! the chest exactly what she thought of its actions. Then stepping forward she got tangled up in a harness, and spent nearly five minutes getting free. Suddenly a mouse ran across iier foot, and her start backward made her trip over the harness and sit down with a thump on the barn door. Af last she found a ladder, picked it up. and finally got it out of doors, when she discovered that it was the wrong one. Into the blackness she had to go once more, and after great struggles she managed to get the right ladder. “There.” Margaret said softly but with great emphasis as she emerged at last, ‘‘those are what I call trials and tribulations! Here’s hoping-------! Exactly what happened Peggy did not know. She fell over a root or the ladder or something, and she and her burden went down with a crash, whereupon she made the most inappropriate re- mark possible. “Well!” she remarked with en- thusiasm. Something was pricking her shoulders, more than one something. “What. began Margaret, then she realized what they were. In one corner of the Gordons' yard was a twisted pile of barbed wire, the remains of an old fence. It was old and rusty but still vicious, as it was proving. Peggy started to scramble up, but was pulled uncere- moniously back. She tried again with the same result. An investigation proved her skirt and blouse were held fast by the barbs, and pull, and twist, and squirm as she might she could not get loose. Once more she made the inappropriate remark' of “Well!” The more she wriggled, the more the barbs stuck into her. so at last she resigned herself to the inevitable. “If I were an old barbed wire fence. Peggy remarked confidentially to her captor. “1 wouldn't be so mean. No. I wouldn't, for what good docs it do you? Do you know. T wish you were in Halifax! It would be ever so much nicer for me if you were. You’re certainly the graspingest thing that I ever saw! Put no gentle persuasion moved the fence in the slightest. It did not show the slightest dis- position to go to Halifax, even when requested. By dint of much wiggling and twisting Margaret got the ladder off her feci, but she could do noth- ing more. The minutes fairly crept by. “I'd even be glad to see the burglars,” thought Peggy, provided •they'd get me loose. It doesn’t seem as if I could stay here much longer! I wonder what makes the crickets chirp so loud tonight. Seems as it there is one right under me! Oh! What was that? She sat up as straight as she could and listened intently. Certainly she had heard some- thing ( n the path that ran down through the Allen woods! Suppose it should be Crazy Pete! Sup- pose it should be the burglars! Margaret wrenched and twisted to no purpose. Now she could hear 1 nv voices. It surely was the burglars! What should she do? The answer to that was easv. She had her choice between calling out and keeping quiet, trusting to luck to go unnoticed. Of course she wouldn’t call out! The burglars might murder her if she did! The voices came nearer. Yes, it’s pitch dark.” said one. “Thai's rather queer.” the other answered. Why should it be queer? Margaret wondered. 'Then. Pc as still as you can. whispered the burglar in advance. We might-------” the rest was lost. “You go around that side and Til look about this. directed the first. Evidently his command was obeyed, for Margaret heard steps go around the house. Then her attention was all given to the solitary burglar standing near her. The moon was coming up. but. while she could see his form quite plainly, his face was in the shadow. After looking at the house he walked over to- ward the barn. Then Peggy heard an exclama- tion. Gee! The door’s open! He vanished in- side and. from the sounds that drifted out to her. Margaret judged that he was having the same experiences which she had been through. l last he came back and was joined by his companion. She heard the other say. No lights.” Then came a conversation of which she heard nothing, but at last the leader turned, saying: “All right! and came directly toward the dark spot under the big maple where she lay. All at once there came the sound of a stumble, an exclamation, and then something struck Mar- garet violently, throwing her back onto the barbs. What’s the matter?” cried burglar number two. nearlv choking with laughter. Did you tumble?” “Oh. no! came the sarcastic answer from the thing K ing across Peggy. hat under the can- opy have I landed on?” Me. Margaret remarked sweetly. There was no use in keeping quiet any longer. 36 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR What! is that you. Margaret Gordon?” The burglar came lo his feet as though shot. “Yes. Is that you, Jack Rand-all?” “Yes! came the wrathful answer. Why didn't you let us know where you were, instead of making us hunt all over the place?” Not for worlds would Margaret have Tom Allen and Jack Randall, two inveterate teasers, know that she had mistaken them for burglars. She would never hear the last of it. “J—er—wanted to see—er—if you could find me!” You did! ■ Well, you found out. 1 hope.

You can’t make us believe that. Do you like to roost on a barbed-wire fence well enough to wait about half an hour to see if we could find you? If you do, you're crazier than I thought you were!” Margaret ignored this remark with great dig- nity. Will you please get me loose? “If it's so very fine, you might stay and enjoy it a while longer!” Those barbs were pricking.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 EDITORIAL'S Ever since Thanksgiving, was instituted by the Pilgrims in 1621, the date of its observance has been in November: the main purpose being to offer thanks to overruling Providence for nature’s b umtiful supply. Put we. the boys and girls of the city, may well consider the innumerable things (or which we should be thankful; our happy homes, our educational system, our great oppor- tunities. It is certain that the children of our fore- fathers had not a fraction of the things for which to be thankful, that we, the children of this won- derful age. enjoy. Remember also that our Thanksgiving dinner will be much more enjoyable if we have contributed toward the happiness of those less fortunate than ourselves. wt r . r. This Thanksgiving, Somerville makes its first invasion of the new Russell field. North Cam- bridge. Let the invasion be memorable. Somcr- villians! r r r r School spirit means loyalty to the school—dis- countenancing when in mass meeting in public places, ungentlemanly acts such as tipping over ash barrels, pulling car trolleys from the wires, and numerous other mean and disagreeable acts which annoy so many people. Remember, school spirit discourages anything which reflects upon the good character of the school. The football season is waning. The team pulled together wonderfully after the W ellesley defeat and showed that “ye ancient spirit still lives. They held the as yet invincible Waltham team to a 0—0 tie. thereby surprising both friend and foe. Pile eleven which on the eve of the league games was so crippled that it was not thought of as a possible contender for the championship, again surprised its followers by a victory over Medford. ► r. r There has been a noticeable improvement in the cheering at the games. A mere handful of S m- crvillians completely drowned out the cheering of a much larger throng at Newton. These few were instilled with the same fighting spirit that the team, though losing, showed, and they showed their appreciation of it. v� r, r.

The first meeting’, on October s. brought out between thirty-five and forty enthu- siastic candidates, not including pianists. Mr. Avery and Miss Hurd attended tlie meeting and expressed their desires for a successful orchestra in I) th attendance and in a musical sense. Many of the faculty have shown their interest in various ways: Miss Hurd has helped in every way to in- crease the interest and membership: Mr. Foster helps bv playing trombone for us. and others have climbed the numerous stairs to listen. Each re- hearsal shows a decided gain over the preceding, both in membership and in the results obtained.

Domestic Science is a combination of all the sciences that have ever been studied in any school svstem. It is not a specialty by any means, and it is important that we realize that it stands for the whole development of women’s work and place in the general scheme of life. All subjects which come under consideration in our daily life are founded on science. May I «ask. “What is our most valuable possession?” “Health. hor health is it not necessary h r 11s to be educated in physi- ology and hygiene? If we wish to know the very basis . f life and growth must we not study chemis- try and the elements from which everything orig- inates? In order to live, isn't it necessary to study foods, the feeding of children, people through mid- dle life and old age? In order to manage our fam- ily income isn’t it necessary to learn to buy, to know the market” as a successful business man must know? In order to be a successful home maker—and how many f our girls arc not some- time going to take their part in this happiest occupation.-- isn’t it necessary to know the gen- eral principles of art that their homes may be at- tractive. their clothing appropriate and their social standing as they would wish? Someone tells us that these subjects can be learned at home better than at school? Are the mothers who have brought up these children able and ready to teach what they themselves may know? Although they have been doing the house- keeping. the planning, the buying, the cooking, and the sewing for manv years is it always easy for them to pass on this knowledge? It is possible that a scientific training in these very common- place duties will give the girls of today a high idea and often a reason for the task; pleasant associa- tions which will lift these household duties to a place of dignity which they deserve but which is frequently overlooked. As the work in this sci- ence goes on in our school, it is anticipated that many interesting questions will arise which will be solved by girls, and our plan is to publish each month notes on the work done in this department.

SAT at the foot of a gaily-colored maple tree whither I had come for inspiration. It was a beautiful day of Indian summer. From where 1 sat I had a view of the surrounding hills with their medley of bright colors and the valley below. A few downy clouds floated along in the haz blue of the skv. The view was one to inspire ideas if any could, but my mind remained a blank. I grew more and more drowsy. Sud- denl 1 was startled by a light touch on my head. I put up m hand and drew down a bright maple- leaf. Rut it was not an ordinary maple-leaf. I looked closer; there were tiny black marks on it! Could it be—it was! Those little marks were words! Thoroughly aroused now, I eagerly scanned the leaf, and this is what I read: “We are the ghosts of Exchanges, past and present. Tossed about bv many winds wc have at length found refuge. Read us. that we may return to the shelves whence we are come. As I finished read- ing. a second leaf fluttered to the ground, and then followed a veritable shower of them. One and all bore a message. I read on and on:— “The l'ioncer. Xew Orleans.—a well arranged paper. The story. ‘King Duncan Assassinated is certainly original. The moral which adorns the tale, ‘Sonny in the I owell High School Review, is one which it woidd be well for all young men of the present time to heed.’’ The editorial on ‘School Spirit in the Iliad. Troy, interests other high schools besides the Trojan one.” “The cover-design of the Argus. Gardner, is ex- tremely artistic.” Might we suggest a Literary Department for the Lawrence High School Bulletin? It was miss- ing in the September issue.” I he Bostonia is an intensely literary paper, but apparently lacks a sense of humor.” ' I lie cuts of the Bangor Oracle are very neat and attractive. “Doesn’t the Boston Latin School Register be- lieve in editorials?” Orange Peals is an interesting paper. Come again. As soon as I had perused a leaf I let the wind have it. so. as I put my hand out finally for an- other. it encountered the bare ground. Oh!” I thought, there must be some more. and with the vague idea of shaking down more criticisms. I started to rise, when—I woke up. I looked up at the trees. The gay leaves seemed as thick as ever, f looked down the hillside. Ear below I could see some, whirling round and round. What was the solution? But 1 still remembered some of those little black words, so I hurried home to write them down before 1 should forget them. v ■ a ' «t $ Besides the above, the Radiator acknowledges the receipt of two copies of the Recorder, Win- chester. and its graduation number: the Maine Campus, the Grotonian.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 4 7 Somerville anO TKHaltbani Lie, 0 0 With jus; a little luck, Somerville would have beaten Waltham in their annual game and won one of the best played games ever seen at Recre- ation Field. However, the showing of our team and the final score proved a moral victory for Somerville, who was predicted to go down to de- feat before the Watch City eleven by a large score. The final score was 0-0. The day was dark and dismal, and the field muddy and slippery, 'flic weather, however, did not mar the attendance, neither did it dampen the spirits of the supporters of the two teams, who cheered frantically for a victory. W altham was kept on the defensive most of the time, finding the strength .f Somerville s line in- vincible. The greater part of the playing was done on Wakham's territory, and four times it looked like a score for the Red and I � lne. Once a forward pass just skimmed John Mur- phy's hands as he ran across the goal line. Later a drop kick tried In Jim Robertson just missed a score, the ball striking the cross-bar, rising almost straight in the air and falling again to the plaving- field. Somerville went after the game from the start and held Waltham safe in the first period, which was largely a punting duel. The second period began with the ball in Som- erville's possession on Waltham's fifteen-yard line. Here the Somerville onrush was halted and the ball lost on an unsuccessful forward which was almost a score. A moment later the hand of fate again crushed the home team's chances, when Jim Robertson's beautiful try at a field goal hit the cross-bar. The first half was all Somer- ville's. Waltham gave its final punch at the start of the third period, when, after receiving the kickoff, liacon spurted around right end for twenty-five yards. Here the prowess of Somerville’s line again stood out and Waltham couldn't gain an inch. An exchange of punts followed, and one, which Pick- ett muffed. Doughty, who played an excellent all- round game, recovered for Somerville. Terrific line bucking now put the ball on Waltham's five- yard line, but the ball was lost on an unsuccessful forward pass. The fourth period found Somerville traveling at a fast pace, and the ball again advanced into Wal- tham’s danger zone. When at last hope seemed to be fading and time almost up. Somerville threw all its chances on Jim Robertson, and in the last stand he was called upon for a drop kick. I’nder the tremendous strain lie acquitted himself admirably; the kick, although perfect in direction from the thirty-yard line, missed the cross-bar by a foot. Nothing but praise can be given to Jim for his splendid tries on a slippery, muddy field with a water-soaked ball. His first attempt, al- though unsuccessful, really embodied a moral vic- tory for Somerville. The summary:— SOM ER VILLE. WALTHAM. Doughty. Hall, l.e...r.c.. McCarthy. McGilvray J.

Xewte, T4 HE brilliant lights glowed and glim- mered as the lights of The Great White Way ’ always glow and glim- mer on Christmas Eve. The cus- tomary throng of merrymakers trod the icy pavements, pressing and packing the fast falling fleece of white. Christmas Eve is almos.t invariably thought of as a joyful eve. the moment when all are happy in family reunion, and in the pleasure of giving pleasure. Then, too, the children arc the life of the C hristmas Eve in their ways of expressing their indefinite conceptions of a certain immortal being known far and wide as Kris Kringle or Santa Claus. All mankind may be thankful that he is granted the privilege of being a child once, that he was. at one time, given the unbounded delight of being a firm believer in Santa Claus. There is scarcely a living being who can forget the time when he tried to turn the course of the “Sand Man that he might stay awake till Santa came. lint in spite of this iov of the great majority, there is. nevertheless, in little, unheard-of corners of the world, sorrow and discontent. Even among the wealthy, where Christmas is welcomed with laugh and shout and great dinners and equally great times, there is sometimes discontent, yes, bitter sorrow even. The piercing wind capered and frolicked over the city pavements, blowing fitful, snow-laden little veils into the half-hidden faces of swell Xcw York’s theatre goers. The general hum of a hun- dred voices reached the ears of a tall man. who. in the shelter of a brightly lighted doorway, was try- ing to light a cigar. The man was clad in even- ing dress with a costly cape drawn closely about his slightly stooping shoulders: on his head was a stylish opera hat. while in one of his gloved hands he held two opera tickets. At last he succeeded in lighting the cigar, and after an involuntary tug at the cape he joined the jovial crowd which seemed ever to surge toward the host of open doored amusement houses. Shortly he turned up Fortieth street and soon after entered the lobby of the Metropolitan Opera House. He entered a telephone booth, gave a number, and as the coin tinkled musically into the “10 slot he said:— “Hello. Emily? Yes. this is Fred. Well. Emily, you can call the car as soon as you want to; tell tiic chauffeur to drive right here,— I’m at the Metropolitan.—no hurry, the show doesn’t be- gin for thirty-five minutes yet. Well, then, I’ll see you—oh. what!—ha-ha-ha—well, rather, all right, dear—half an hour—yes,—adieu. He hung up the receiver, pushed open the booth door and again made his way toward the street. As he at last reached the street, after a veritable battle with the incoming people, he saw that the snow fall was diminishing. He drew his cape again about his shoulders and stepped away from the glowing, flashy entrance. He had scarcely turned the corner of the great building when he almost walked upon a small, lonely urchin who threaded his shivering way among the care-free members of the Manhattan “smart et. The little one’s clothes were scant and ill-fitting, great holes appearing in the sleeves of the tattered, shabby coat, while from under the mass of cloth which served the purpose of a ca| there protruded a dense cluster of matted, curly locks of ebon hue. The poverty-stricken eyes glistened as they were uplifted to the keen, sym- pathetic eyes of the tall young man with the black cape. Just a minute, mister, I'll git out o’ your way. The little fellow endeavored to push the people aside to let this man pass. “Sec here, my little man, returned the tall figure sympathetically, where arc you bound?” Lack to Ike's. was the reply. “They sends me down to buy this bread for Ike’s kid—they say he can’t live—gee, I hope he croaks! He was the nastiest--- “Now. now. that will do. interposed the man as a hard five-cent loaf of bread was held up to his view. ■‘We’ll talk about Ike and his kid after- ward s. The gentleman’s hand gripped the frail shoulder and the kindly voice continued: “Do you like mince pie? Like mince pie! Say. mister, does I like mince pie. I wish ter hike youse wouldn’t say nuttiiE 'bout mince pie ’cause it hurts m’ stummy ter think on mince pie and not be a-gittin’ any. The ever passing throng paid no attention to this queer pair—the tall, well-dressed man, and the little dirt-begrimed urchin. ' Arc you hungry? questioned the man. “Seein's you mentioned mince pie. I don’t know SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 but what I's kind o' erfectcd that a’ way. re- turned the urchin, trying to hide his eagerness. “Conic, then ' decided the man in the cape, “we'll have a little Christmas supper all by our selves—just you and I; but wait,” his face clouded as lie was about to lead his prize away, and he fumbled in the inside pocket of his dress coat. He soon drew forth the opera tickets, lie looked at them a moment as if undecided about something, but only for a moment. “You wait right here ' he directed to the little boy, as he re-entered the lobby of the Metropoli- tan. Again the man entered the telephone booth, again the same number was given—then a pause. “I hope 1 get her before she starts. he mur- mured softly. “If I—hello! Emily? Yes— bred. I'm glad I got you before you'd started. Say, ■Em,' dear. I'm terribly sorry, but I will not be able to go tonight. What? Yes. I’m sorry, but I just met some one whom I have known seven years, and who needs my help right off. Shall I get Breighton to go with you? Xo? Well, what shall I do about the tickets? Oh. he is! Well, then. I'll get the man at the box office to give them to him : you call him up and tell liim what to do. will you? You're a brick! If any one asks me who the best woman in the world is. I'll have to tell him to jump around and make a call on my wife! Oh, pshaw, yourself—I mean it. Well. I don’t—hello. 'Em.'—well. I don't know how soon I’ll be home, but I won't be late. Please get the guest room slicked up a bit. I’m awfully sorry to disappoint you this way. Thank you, don't forget Breighton. Goodbye.’’ Thoughtfully he hung up the receiver. He left the booth and made his way to the ticket office, after elbowing through the line of purchasers. At length, he stood before the window. “Please deliver these tickets to Mr. Percival II. Breighton. when lie calls for them. “Very well, sir. replied the man as he slipped the tickets into an envelope and scratched the name on the back. The tall man backed away from the window and hurried to the corner where he had left the little boy. It had ceased snowing, and the number of passers-by seemed to have diminished consider- ably. The tall young man found the boy nestled in the shelter of the corner where he had been bidden to stay, the loaf of bread hugged frigidly beneath his arm and his coat collar turned up about his neck. Mince pie, was all the man said as he clasped the grimy little hand of the figure in the corner. Prom the curb the man signaled for a taxicab. Down Broadway rolled the taxicab, carrying within the depths of its rear scat a strange pair. A man. in deep thought, sat beside a child of the slums, who curled himself up in the luxury of the ride and silently watched the thoughtful man. The child at length broke the silence. Where re we goin'. mister?” Mince pie,” returned the man as if lie had heard wrong. There was a long pause. An w'en we gets the mince pie. will you tell us your name?” I will, if you’ll tell me yours, responded the man. now looking at the urchin for the first time since entering the cab. Mine's ’Rags.' said the child thoughtfully. Ike named me that from me clothes, but, I have another name Ike says L mustn't tell. You have another name! burst out the man so suddenly that the child was startled. The cab drew up to the curb and the door was opened. The man became instantly quiet and was the first to alight, then out jumped Rags. They were before the M-------------hotel. The man seized the little one by the hand and led him through the maze of lights to the dining hall. Of course such a pair could not travel without attract- ing comment, and many faces, some amused others inquisitive, were turned as they passed by. At last they were seated at a table spread with a big white cloth, and covered with all kinds of silver and real china instead of tin dishes. “One order of mince pie,” said the man to the astonished waiter: and then, as the order was brought in and placed before him he remarked: “No, it’s for the boy. And then to his guest: Set that bread down and ’fall to.' The five-cent loaf fell to the floor, and the child lost no time in obeying the fall to command. “Lingers were made before forks. and empty stomachs on Christmas Eve were made for mince pies. How that pie disappeared! The big man had removed his coat-cape and was watching his guest from behind a cloud of smoke made by a cigar. “Good? lie asked, smiling. “I’m-m-m. was the busy reply. Want more? The urchin shook his head negatively. Want anything else? Again the curly head was shaken. “No. said the youngster. “1 got to go back to Ike. he’ll lick me if I don't give him this bread. And lie picked up the bread and started to go. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 56 |ust a minute before you go to Ike,” beckoned the tall mail, his host. ‘Who’s your mother. Ike says I haven’t any.” Your father?” No father, neither,” was the reply as the strong arm of the big man pressed him into the cloud of tobacco smoke. 'Hie man laid down his cigar, and looked this little urchin straight in the eye. He started suddenly, and the color left his cheeks. Where did you get that scar over your eye?’ he gasped. Ike told me not to tell-----” If I told you where you got it and told you right, will you say I’m right?” Sure, but you don’ know where I got that. That was a long—long time ago. And the pitiful gaze was cast down at the ragged hem of the dirty coat. You got that scar,” began the man, gripping the child by each shoulder, as a result of a fall from a baby carriage. The child started. Ike tell ye? lie cried in a fright. o. ! 1 new before Ike did. said the man. still holding the boy by the arms. And you shall not go back to Ike tonight. You must come---------,” the small boy tried to wrench away from the firm fingers about his arms. 'Hie man smiled slightly. I le asked, Don’t you think we have met before?” The boy looked him earnestly in the face. No.” he said at length with a doubtful shake of the head. The lady at the next table glanced around just in time to see the big man’s eyes well with tears, and to hear this man murmur slowly and softly: You don’t realize, my boy, how that denial hurt.” The boy squirmed again in the firm grasp. Ought I to ha’ reco’nized you? lie pleaded. lie does not know me,” sobbed the man to himself as he released his grip on the boy’s arms, and bowed his head. Say. mister, what’s the matter of you, nohow? 1 don’t likes to see ye a-bawlin’ so. Come on. let’s you an’ me go to Ike’s t’gether. Ike’ll be soar, but p’r’aps he’ll listen to you. Will ye? The man picked up his cape and settled with the waiter who passed him his hat. “Come, he said t the urchin, we’ll be going, but not to Ike’s. You can leave that brick-bat here. The waiter will give it to the cook to pound steak with. The man smiled—a brighter smile than before— and the “brick-bat” was laid on the chair. Are we ready?’’ asked the man as he rose to go. Sure. But if I go with you, what’ll Ike tell me when 1 see him? Whatever Ike was going to tell you, my boy, replied the man as they wended their way toward the street, I’m afraid lie'll have to tell the judge,” and the big man clinched his teeth very fiercely in- deed. Where are you a-takin’ me?” asked the boy as they again entered a taxicab. Home, returned the man. smiling. But Ike’s isn't this way,” objected the urchin in suspicion. “Your home is this way, though, assured the man, groping for the little hand in the dark. At last he found it. You were my boy before you were Ike’s—long before—and you’re my boy now —and you’re coming home to your ownty, dont’y mamma, right just as soon as this-------” he per- ceived the child looking straight at him with his big, bright blue eyes. Why, Papa! lie fairly shrieked as he flung his arms about the man’s neck. “Then I'll never see Ike again, an' always be with you an’ Mamma, aiT —aiT-----” The cab stopped before a great brick house in one of the suburbs. A neat maid appeared at the door. Beyond glowed a glittering heaven. Father and son mounted the great stone steps, and passed through the great doorway as the happy bells of Christmas Eve sounded from the distant tower. Three years in the company of gypsy kidnappers had greatly changed little seven-year-old Clarence on Bateman, but as the big man led him silently into the presence of a lady clad in rustling silks, he showed that however long he had existed in the slums of New York, and however ragged were the garments that clad his pitiable figure, he had not in the least forgotten how to hug and to kiss his long separated, ever loving mother. The Christian Science Monitor of November 15 noted the fact that this year the High Schools of New N ork conducted their elections of class offi- cers after the manner of the city elections, and the Monitor added: This was the first instance of the kind in the country.” As the Somerville High School, under the management of the Civics De- partment. has conducted its elections according to the above plan for several years, going down ta the polling booth on School street for the purpose, the department appointed Miss Anna E. Mc- Cullv to communicate with the Monitor and call attention to their error. Tn a recent issue the Monitor acknowledged the incorrectness of their statement. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 H Strange Christmas present Harriett Brittain, ’14 I ? HEY arc all for you. John, all for you! 1 Don’t you like the gun, the tops and the rest? Oh. John, dear John!” But no response came to this sor- rowful cry. “Oh. John, they say God is good, but why did he take you away and leave me alone? My. but you were pretty with vour dark curls and rosy checks! You left us three years ago to- night ! Why don’t you come back?” “Master, here is your tea!” This aroused William Wingrove from his rev- erie. Who and where is John? John was the only son of William Wingrove and the apple of his eye. When John was only nine years old he died, and his father, stricken with grief, had shut himself away from every one except an old trusty servant. He longed for his son so much that he seemed to sec him. Each year he bought Christmas presents for him. and as lie fondled them, thought how pleased John would be. It’s a cold, bleak Christmas night. Almost the coldest we've ever seen here in England.” “Ay. that it is. Remember three years ago to- night. Henry.” replied the man as he shook his head. “He was a pretty lad. Oh. John. John.” He broke into a passionate outburst of sobs. “Henry, did you hear that noise at the door? There must be someone there. It’s a cold night to be prowling about.” Henry opened the door and a large St. Bernard dog entered, intelligence beaming in his large, sad-looking dark eyes. His body, once beautiful, was thin from hunger. “Bring some meat and milk for the poor ani- mal.” said Mr. Wingrove. While the servant was hurrying to do his duty, the dog. looking up into the face of Mr. Wingrove, began to wag his tail. When the dog had been fed and warmed, he seemed eager to go out, pawing at the door and whining. Mr. Wingrove tried to detain him. but the dog howled still more piteously. Let him out, Henry. That is the way with the world. They come and go and I am left alone, all alone.” Mr. Wingrove continued his musings. He thought of his beautiful bride, and of her death after a happy married life of a few years. His son became his life, his joy. his all. lie. too. was taken away. With one servant, Mr. Wingrove had taken a house isolated on a lonely country road, a wav from the rest of the world. ()h. if John would only come back!” lie started. “Henry, did you hear that queer noise?” Henry opened the door and the dog entered dragging something, a bundle.—yes. a human bundle—a hoy about nine years old. William Wingrove jumped. My little John!” he cried. He was so wrapped in his thoughts that for a moment this seemed but a part of them. Then realizing that this could not be his own bov. he said: “Why, the poor child is almost frozen to death. Bring some warm milk while I warm his hands and feet in front of the fire. How much he looks like John.” lie hugged the boy impulsively. When the boy regained consciousness. Mr. Wingrove said: “What is vour name, my lad? “John.” came the feeble reply. “Where do you live and who are your parents?” After a few seconds feeling stronger, he replied: “My father and mother arc dead and my uncle beats me so I ran away.” Mr. Wingrove was silent for a moment. “John, my John, hereafter you shall have a son’s place in MV home.” Joyfully he hugged the boy. while the dog stood by wagging his tail in thanks, and Henry looked on with satisfaction. Cbe Slav Before Christmas B ? H3a.seI a . Craft' ,15 I YE miles oflf the coast of Northeast- eastern Maine is a lonely, storm- beaten island, on the topmost height of which stands a lighthouse. For twenty years old Peter Russell was the keeper of this lighthouse, and during all this time he did his duty faithfully and well. For twenty years, through storm and calm, the great light in the tower sent forth unfailingly each night its solitary, guiding ray over the waters bevond Wheat man’s Shoals. Farly on the morning of the day before Christ- 5« SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ma% old Peter Eussell sat in his tiny, but cozy sitting room looking out over the stormy waste of waters towards the distant mainland. Inside the lighthouse all was warm and cozy, but outside the wind blew with the force of a hurricane, and the sleei and snow rattled against the window panes. The foaming waves below raced madly with the gray scudding clouds above, and the gulls and storm petrels screamed hoarsely overhead. The blizzard had been raging for two days, and today, as he watched it. old Peter’s heart was sad, for his daughter Xellic was to have come home today, beautiful, golden-haired, talented little Xell, who three years before had gone away into the world to get proper training for her wonderful voice. Peter had worked and waited patiently and without complaint during those three long, weary years, and his old heart was very happy when, two weeks before, the much longed-for letter from Xell had come, announcing that she would be home for Christmas. Put now he had given up all hope that she would be home tomorrow, unless the storm abated, for tlie government boat that came from the mainland once a week, and on which Xell would have to come, could not, with am degree of safety, approach so near Wheat- man’s Shoals in this storm. So the old man gazed with hopeless eyes towards the mainland where liis little Xell was waiting. The morning wore slowly away, and towards noon it seemed to old Peter that the storm was diminishing in violence. The wind blew less fur- iously. and the snow had almost ceased to fall. He searched the leaden sky in hopes of seeing some break in the hurrying storm clouds, and at last imagined that the sky was growing lighter in the east. For an hour or so he watched eagerly, and then his head began to nod drowsily, and in a few mo- ments he was fast asleep. How long he slept he did not know, but he awoke suddenly with a strange feeling of joy in his heart, and a vague presentment that something good was about to happen. And he was not mistaken. For sud- denly. before he was fairly awake, the door hurst open and a slight, girlish figure flew into the room, and the next moment old Peter was clasping his little Xell in his arms, repeating over and over again in broken accents:— “Oh. Xell. girl, my little Xell!” And Xell. half sobbing, half laughing, kissed him repeatedly. Then he held her at arm’s length and looked at her proudly. “What a fine lady you've grown to be. Xell.” he said. Pm afraid you’ll be ashamed of your poor old father. Xell looked at him reproachfully. “Why. father.” she said, “how can you say that? If y u only could know how lonely I’ve been without you all these years, and how glad I was when the storm cleared up, and they told me the boat would come. It’s so good to be home, father.” ami she sighed happily as she looked around the familiar little room. At the mention of the boat old Peter bethought himself of the lighthouse provisions which were to come in it. and which he had completely for- gotten in his joy at seeing Nell. He hastened out- side. and found the men had placed the crates of provisions outside the door and gone away, un- willing to interrupt him. The parting rays of the western sun looked in on a happy couple in the lighthouse that evening. As old Peter sat beside little Xell, listening to the tale of her success and achievements in the far distant city, his cup of happiness was full, and he felt he could ask nothing more of his Maker. B Christmas present Jl3v Elmer 1I . pilsburg, ’1 HE eighteenth of December saw many people ascending the gang plank of a large, modern steamship, docked in Liverpool, which we will call Louis V, and among these crowds of people, some showing emotion. Others laughing happily, some crying as if their hearts would break, others laughing hysterically, a small boy, with a tiny knapsack under his arm, timidly walked among that crowd of sniffing people up to the large deck which adorned this floating palace. He looked wonderingly around him, scarcely knowing what to do next nor which way to turn, until interrupted from his thoughts by a touch on the shoulder. Looking around, the lad saw a large, well dressed man. having a jolly, robust appearance, which ought to have put this shrinking lad at ease, but at that gentle touch the lad started and. casting a nervous look in the direction of this never-to-be-forgotten appearing gentleman, re- ceived a jolly smile which served to make him less frightened. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 “What made you jump so?’’ asked the good looking man. Oh, ii—n—nothing, replied the lad, tremu- lously. You frightened me. “Me frighten you? laughed the man. “I must have an awfully ugly face. If 1 did really scare you, I will make amends for it. What is your name? I don’t know, sir,” replied the ragged youth. Don't know what your name is? queried the portly gentleman. Where do you live? “Oh, sir, I live wherever 1 hang my hat. “Well, this a funny state of affairs. Don’t know what your name is, nor where you live. The reason I touched you on the shoulder was be- cause 1 thought I could help you find your berth, since you looked bewildered. “( )h, I must go, sir. What makes you so frightened? 1 won’t hurt you. Come in my state room, if you will, and may- be I can help you out.” Nervously looking around him as he went, the boy, led by the husky individual, was led to the latter’s large and comfortable stateroom. “Now, what is the matter? Why do you appear so nervous? Come, I’m a friend of yours. Tell me your trouble,” advised the kind one. I sec that you are educated. Yes,” answered the boy, “but it’s a long story. I’ll tell it all to you. “I remember first coming across the water from America. I should say it was about eleven years ago. In London I was sent to school until I was about ten years old, when I was sent from home, or what was an imitation of home, as 1 was half fed and ill-treated. A woman took care of me. but she never told me who my parents were, nor my former history. I cultivated numerous trades. I bootblackcd. sold papers, fish and fruit, but I always found time to read and study for a few hours each day. I’ve had about ten decent meals in this time, and have slept in barrels, trunks, piano boxes, back yards, hen houses ; and once or twice a month in a bed of corn cobs. Christmas always appealed to me. How I’ve hoped and prayed that sometime I might be able to receive and give gifts like I’ve read about, and like I've seen through windows. I’ve about given up, and always expect to be the same old roving boy, and never have a home. A week ago, I—I—I— “Don't be afraid,” eagerly remarked the man. “I’m your friend. Tell me. what did you do?” Don’t tell anyone! he cried, nervously again looking .around him. A week ago I decided to steal mv wav to America as a stowawav. I wanted to go across where my native land was, to sec the wonderful sights 1 had read about, and to ec a real Christmas in America. So when today I came on board, and you touched me, 1 thought it was one of the officers trying to spoil my Christmas. It means a lot to me, 1 can tell you, because when 1 land in New York I want to ee a real Christmas.” His eyes gleamed, Just think. 11 wake up some morning and find your stocking full of good things to eat. ()h dear, if I were only like other boys who have a kind father and mother, I would not care how poor they were. It would be something to work for. Well, I’ve told you more than I ever told another living person, and I don’t really understand why. P� ut I must go now, and find my sleeping place. Good-bye and thank you for being so kind to take an interest in me. You are the first one. Not good-bye yet. You see this, don’t you? he asked, pointing to the upper berth in the state- room. You're going to sleep there, and take it comfortably while you’re on this boat.” “Oh, I musn’t, I musn’t. I’m only a poor boy, and I can’t pay you ; and, besides, they’d catch me, he argued, earnestly. I think I have money enough, young man. And you musn’t dispute your elders, so mind me. You’re going to sleep above me. because I always prefer the lower berth. I won't have so far to fall it I tumble out of bed. replied the man. donning his overcoat. The boat has started. Let's go out and watch the boat leave the harbor, and al- so see the people cry. And one more thing, in particular. If I sec you looking around you, afraid. I’ll chuck you overboard. You’re my guest and companion, and I’ll fix it up with the captain : so you walk around here and make your- self comfortable. Here's a magazine to read while I’m gone. Five days later found Jack, as the rescuer called him. looking like a different person; in clothing, health and his general attitude. Good food had filled his cheeks out. pure air lnd given him color and fearlessness, and he seemed more like a natural bov ought to be. He was now leaning against a rail, watching a group of sharks fiercely engaged in combat, when his helper came up. “Do you know, Mr. Fowler,” said Jack, seri- ously. I ’ve been thinking that your name sounded familiar. I’ve been trying to think where 1 had heard it. I don’t remember having heard it for vears. but it has been mentioned to me some- where. “Do you think you have heard it somewhere?” 6o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR eagerly questioned Mr. Fowler. “Come up on the upper deck where no people are gathered, and I‘11 tell you about the missing link in my life. After they had been seated, it was Mr. Fowler that did not seem to be as calm as usual. Striving to maintain his usual calmness however, he took out a cigar and lit it. took a few puffs from his cigar, crossed his legs and began:— Sixteen years ago tomorrow was one of the happiest moments of my life. A large, blooming baby boy was born into my family, and it seemed like a Christmas present. For four years we cared for and treated that little boy and felt as if he was really a part of us. One day I came home to find my wife dreadfully agitated. Upon hearing iter reason, I was startled; she said that little Jack was lost. For days we advertised, watched, searched, waited, and did everything else we could do to find the boy. but he was not to be found. e had recently found her maid guilty of stealing, and of course refused to recommend her elsewhere. As Jack disappeared the day she left, we thought that possibly she might have stolen him out of revenge, and taken him to England, her native home. Each year I have journeyed over, only to find no trace of my boy or her, except for a slight clue. Six years ago. upon arriving here, I dis- covered that she and her boy, for such she had called him. had died. Hut 1 have never given up hope of finding him. My wife has ever since the disappearance been sad and unusual, and con- stantly speaks of her boy. I might as well tell you that after I had heard your story I intended to adopt you. but since you say that you have a slight recollection of the name Fowler, I am led to think that you are my boy. I have only one means of proof. Oh. if this only is true we will both be happy forever. Step down into the state- room. Jack, as soon as yoit'Can, and let me see y ur left shoulder blade! Hastily they both rushed down t the stateroom, and lack bared his back and faced Mr. Fowler. Now, Jack, your whole future depends on this one thing. When my Jack was small he received a burn on his left shoulder-blade. I scarcely dare to turn you around. Jack, to find that the scar is not on you. Something leads me to believe that you are my son Jack, even if you have spent your life in the dungeons of London. Turn around! Jack, as anxious as Mr. Fowler, turned around and heard a loud ejaculation. Soon father and son were wrapt closely in each other’s arms. Christmas dawned bright and clear. Jack and his father, having descended from Louis Y, and passed the Custom House, proceeded directly to a telegraph office. Mr. Fowler joyfully tele- graphed the following message to his wife: A Christmas present brought for you. Edward.“ Taking a Fifth avenue car. his house was quickly reached, and both eagerly rushed up the steps and grasped the bell. A maid came to the door and welcomed Mr. Fowler, and a pit-pat of steps was heard approaching the hall. Hide in the parlor, Jack!” ordered father. Then came an embracing between husband and wife. ()h. Edward, wouldn’t we be happy this Christ- mas if we only had our long-lost boy back again ?’” sighed the mater. We certainly would!” ejaculated Mr. Fowler fervently. Xow for the Christmas present. Step into the parlor.” Mr. Fowler quickly made a short speech and presented the Christmas Present.” Mother and son were folded into a loving embrace never to be parted again. A Christmas is coming to me which I have long wished for. and I feel as if I have had a wonderful Christmas present said Jack happily. ■ Providence has brought it about, said Mr. Fowler, and now. let’s go down town and get our turkey, and also buy you some Christmas gifts. Jack. I ll show you what a real Christmas is like.’” Debating Ube Triangular Xeague March � of this year gives us another chance to capture the shield of the Triangular League. At the first meeting of the league directors for this year C. W. Carvell of this school was elected presi- dent. The other directors from Somerville are Russell Xason and James C. Scanlan. ‘1 I. At the second meeting of the directors the subject for de- bate was selected as follows: Resolved: That the interests of the United States demand the aban- donment of the Monroe Doctrine as a national policy.” 1 he question is broad and interesting because it i a vital public question. We have two of our men left from last year, but the prospects for four other men are good. 1 he new school hall should be ready by March M, and tiie members of the debating club arc going to do their best to fill it. Just think what it would mean to get fifteen hundred people out to a school debate.

Hiram Reed was an active, ener- getic woman who worked steadily from sunrise to sunset and expected everyone else to do the same. She was always cheerful, but firm in her desire to make the Reed harm an ideal one, and also to make it a successful sum- mer hoarding house. Hiram Reed was continually being prodded by his ambitious wife to enlarge his farm, to keep more stock, to hire more men and to find more work than they could do. Consequently. Reed’s butter, milk. hay. and grain were widely known and exported; while their city patrons looked for- ward to the summer days to be spent dose to nature in the country. The only person the ambitious Mrs. Reed would not sacrifice for her various projects was her only child. Peggy. Peggy had just passed her nine- teenth birthday. People whispered that Peggy was not Mrs. Reed's own child but, remember, they only whispered it. Peggy never heard it. Every summer, after she had passed her seventh birthday, had been spent at Aunt Abbie’s home fif- teen miles further into the country. Mrs. Reed had been very careful that Peggy should not meet any city people. The country folks cautiously told one another that Mrs. Reed was afraid some stranger would claim her. Whatever the reason might have been, promptly on June the first Miss Peggy was sent to Aunt Abbie with strict injunc- tions not to come within seven miles of her home until the first day of October, after which time there were no boarders to be seen at the Reed Farm. On her nineteenth birthday she had been given a beautiful horse by her adoring mother, so that she might have more freedom at Aunt Abbie’s home. This was June the first. Peggy was mounted on the spirited coal black marc, l ake good care of your aunt, dear. She is getting very feeble and really should not be so far from a doctor or tele- phone. but if it becomes necessary to go for help at any time, ride to the minister’s house for aid. Good-bye, my dear little girl.” Mrs. Reed waved her hand to Peggy until she disappeared over the hill, then hustled into the house. The middle of June brought several boarders to the Reed Farm,” including Dr. Wingate and Harry Harmon, a young Chicago broker. The doctor and Harry had become particularly chummy, and amused the guests in the evening by telling amusing incidents which had happened in the city. One evening after a stroll, Harry and l)r. W in- gate seated themselves on the large veranda and prepared to exchange more stories. The rest of the guests, knowing that an interesting story from one or the other would be forthcoming, settled themselves to listen. It is your turn, Harry,” said the doctor. I’m afraid my story this evening will not in- terest you greatly, but it has been on my mind all day. It is the one thing in my life that 1 have had good reason to regret, and I have never been able to vindicate myself. When I was a little chap seven years old my mother took my little three- year-old sister and myself for a walk. Having some errands to do she left me in the park and told me not to leave Lois for a minute. She just dis- appeared around the corner when some of my playmates came along, and asked me to play marbles. Telling little Lois to sit u on the settee. I scrambled down to play marbles. I was winning marbles fast and forgot all about Lois: suddenly. I heard a little frightened cry and turn- ing. I saw a man running rapidly with Lois in his arms. Two weeks later the body of a little child was found in a nearby lake, which my mother claimed and buried in the familv lot. 1 always felt as though it was not my sister who had been found, for some jewelry she wore was missing. My mother reproached me bitterly at the time, and I’ve never been able to forget it.” As Harry finished, he gulped down a big lump in his throat: he was quite overcome with emotion. Silence reigned supreme f r some time, then the doctor spoke. Your story. Harry, reminds me of an incident in my life that seems almost a second chapter to your story. When I first commenced to practice medicine I had. as most beginners do, a great deal of leisure time. My mother and fiancee were in- terested in an orphan home; at every chance 1 went with them to attend to the sick children. One day an officer brought in a three-year-old child ami told this story about her. A lunatic had ; _ : r (i-----. and when he was captured at the end of five days he had in his possession this dear baby girl. All the attendants adored her and my fiancee and I planned to adopt her as soon as we married. I’pon her finger was a ring, which had grown too tight. ( hie evening I filed it off, slipped it into 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR my pocket and left it at the jeweler's. I thought that some one might eventually identify her by her jewelry, for she also wore a locket with a mono- gram on it. 1 never had a chance to examine it minutely.” Mrs. Reed had noticed how quiet it was on the piazza. C uriosity prompted her to steal softly to tile front door i:i time to hear about the locket. It was well that the guests did not notice her, for she acted very strangely indeed. “That night.” continued the doctor, “the home caught afire. 1 rushed up the street and when 1 reached there the fire was raging hard. A nurse told me that my little protege was still in the burn- ing building. I saved her; and this scar,” the d etor pushed back his sleeve, ‘ is one souvenir of that night and this scar on my forehead is another. 1 fell unconscious when I was relieved of my precious burden. I was confined to my bed for six weeks. As soon as 1 was able I made inquiries for the baby, but 1 learned to my sorrow that she had been adopted. The people preferred to re- main unknown so I didn’t make further inquiries. Mere is the ring. I’ve always worn it as a watch charm. Harry took the ring rather gingerly in his hand, then became very excited. Good heavens, man, that is my sister’s ring. Yes. L. 11.’ is inscribed inside the ring. Was there anything in the locket? Some hair and a picture? “Yes. a picture of a woman and a lock of dark hair. The picture was very indistinct.” “My grandmother, groaned Harry, “and you have lost all trace of Lois. Mrs. Reed had gradually drawn nearer the speakers and was about to place her hand upon Harry’s shoulder when her movement was arrested by the sound of clattering hoofs. Some one was riding like mad. The guests rose simultaneously to their feet and took a listening posture. The moon had been up for an hour and everything was plainly discernible. Around the corner and straight to the house the flying horse came. “A girl. the doctor ex- claimed. something has happened. Mrs. Reed came to her senses and rushed down the step'. Peggy, oh. Peggy, what has happened? she cried. Peggy alighted quickly from her horse and buried herself in her mother's arms, panting for breath. The doctor rushed up. Who is it. Mrs. Reed, and what is the trouble? ‘It is my—my—my daughter, Peggy. What is the matter, child? “Get some water for her, Harry, and Mrs. Reed, let me take her in charge.” The doctor carried her to the iiou.se and laid her on the couch, not allowing her t � speak until she had drunk all the water brought her. Xow. my dear, what made you come at such a gait ? My Aunt Abbic upset the oil lamp and set the house afire. I was in the barn feeding the cattle and when 1 returned the house was blazing. 1 carried Aunt Abbie out. laid her on my horse and rode as fast as I could to the minister’s house; he i Id me to c nne as quickly as 1 could for you, mother, for Aunt Abbie cannot live. Did you save your locket? asked Mrs. Reed anxiously. Yes. I remembered it and went back for it. It was on the second floor, so when I got out 1 climbed upon the roof of the shed connected with the house and came down the ladder the carpen- ters left against the shed. My dear little girl. I must go to Aunt Abbie immediately, kiss me good-bye. Mr. Harmon and Dr. W ingate, examine her locket very closely. Good-bye. and Mrs. Reed, overcome by her feel- ings, hurried from the room. Harry knelt down beside the couch and removed the locket from Peggy's neck. Upon opening it he gave a loud exclamation and seizing the girl he c vered her with kisses. In her weakened con- dition she could not resist but looked very frightened. Dr. Wingate put a detaining hand on Harry’s shoulder and said : “Gently, gently, my son. I begin to understand, but you must remember that she knows nothing about it. Harry calmed down and handing the locket to Dr. Wingate requested him to tell the story to Peggy. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 6’, EDITORIALS This old sphere, which we call the Earth, had been revolving in space many thousands of year, before it knew the glories of our hap] ; Christ- mas day. for in the very nature of the day, and the event it celebrates, the birth of Christ, it is limited to a period of nineteen hundred and thirteen years. We have often wondered what the -children who lived before Christmas was insti- tuted had to take its place. We read of its merry celebration in old England, when the mammoth '•yule log was drawn by many hands to form the back log in the immense stone fireplace: and the wreaths of holly decorated the smoke-stained walls, and the day was given over to carousals and revelry, as the old poet says:— “At Christmas, play and make good cheer. For Christmas comes but once a year. But the Puritans were so disgusted with its celebration that by them it was forbidden, and the early Puritan Christmas in New England was a dreary and sombre event. It has now become the great day for rejoicing, bv both voting and old. throughout the Christian world. In youth, it is impressed on our minds by its association with Santa Claus, and we are charmed by the mysteries surrounding him. and in later years the delusion increases charm. It is a beautiful custom of Christmas to make and re- ceive small gifts among our own family and dear- est friends. So. schoolmates and friends, let us not only “cat. drink, and be merry on Christmas day. but let us do something to make the day a happy and merrv one for those less fortunate than ourselves. “I heard the bells on Christmas day •Their old familiar carols play.

Although the results did not reach the standard of previous years, the eleven made a very creditable showing. I he result of the Everett game was almost a fore- gone conclusion, but Rindgc's was a hollow vic- tory. Xov that the new hall is nearly finished, we need to give some thought to its equipment. One thing that is very much needed is a new piano.

Did von hear Everett's cheering section? Debating is again in the fureground. In our school debating has been made a regular course of study. It is one of the best methods by which to improve the mind, quicken the intellect, and gain self-possession. It is by no means easy to stand before an audience and explain your argu- ments forcibly and convincingly. This year the debating societies have united under the name � f the Somerville High School SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 64 Debating Society, and will soon be preparing for the Triangular Debate with Xewton and Brook- line. it it it ! Did you notice that no boys were running over the gridiron between the halves of the Rindgc School 5. lb. S. Bebatmo Society After a long discussion with Mr. Hatch, our wide-awake facultv adviser, it was decided to unite tlie old Lincoln Club and the S. 1!. S. Society into one club bearing the name. S. II.

W e extend our sympathies to Abbot Knowles, who has been forced to leave school on account of continued sickness. Knowles had been elected president of the Lincoln Club for this year but was forced to resign on account of ill health and ab- sence from school. He was an alternate last year and had a heartfelt interest in debating work. T. Scanlan, '1(5. an “S man in football, is now following his brother’s footseps in debating. W'e arc after new members and we want you! You do not have to be an orator. Oratory will not be counted this year. Anyone can talk and that's what we want: just a serious heart-to-heart talk with the listeners means more than a long, flowerv oration. TTbe Jeeps’ Glee Club Walter B. Wiley, T4 Is it practicable to support a High School (dec Club? Do the members of the club receive any benefit from such an organization in High School, and when does the club give its members a chance to show their school spirit? I liese are questions which arise when one is considering the support of this branch of the school’s activity. in college a glee club is made to be worth while. The members meet often enough to reach a high degree of attainment both in variety and quality of their songs. They are usually fined if not pres- ent at rehearsals or concerts. The conditions at college are suitable for an excellent glee club but is such a club in High School, necessarily con- game. Thanksgiving? Was it not an improvement over the conditions at our own field? r. r. r r The Radiaroit extends to the pupils and fac- ulty of the high school its best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy Xew Year. Uews ducted under greatly modified conditions, worth while? Does it pay to exercise our school spirit in the support of this organization? To ‘his the answer is most assuredly, “yes ' Although we cannot meet three or four times a week, as in college, we can do much in one well- planned rehearsal each week and “specials be- fore important occasions. The fellows learn to read music more readily, their voices are trained and their love of music is increased. On the other hand they may show their support of the school by singing upon school and public occasions. At a debate they may relieve the heavy tension of mind by presenting a piece or two. lor instance, last year at Xewton during the struggle between Xewton and Somerville, the club entertained the audience with songs, humor- ous and otherwise, while the judges were forming their decision behind closed doors. At school gatherings, of which we shall have mam in our new hall and at Ethics periods, a song or two would greatly add to the success of the meeting. Mr. Hall, of the faculty, and a former Tufts (dee Club man. is helping greatly at present to- wards whipping the club into shape. In previous years it has been exclusively a Senior Club but this year all boys of the school are eligible. In this way the club has been enlarged to a member- ship of forty and a larger quota of the ever-lacking tenor has responded from the lower classes. In preceding years the graduating class has taken the entire membership with it and necessi- tated the formation of a new club each fall. From this time on only a few will be lost by graduation and new men will replace them. This change has made possible the adoption of a permanent consti- tution which has been greatly needed. Admission to membership requires only the payment of a small fee of twenty-five cents, and a voice of promising quality. Applications for membership may be made to Roger llunnewell in room 204. Watch the club and you will hear from it later, for the fellows are well on their way to a success- ful year. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 65 Gbe Senior Glass Election The Senior Class election of this year proved t« he the most practical and interesting that has yet been carried out. Preparations for the event began nearly two weeks ahead. Nomination papers for the various officers were obtained front Mr. Hatch, who acted as City Clerk. When the necessary twenty-five signatures for each candidate had been obtained, the papers were filed within the time limit, which was set at Friday. November 7. No person could be nominated for an office who was not in good standing in his studies. Two or three days later the names of the candi- dates were announced. The ballots, based on the Australian system, were printed, and the date of the election set at November 1 I. Permission was obtained of the Mayor of the city to use the Ward 3, Precinct 2 ballot box, and also the city polling booth in the Cummings School lot on School street. The necessary election officers were appointed bv Mr. Hatch. William Ilession was appointed election warden, Sumner Wiley, assistant warden. Raymond Ewell clerk, and John Kelly. Harriett Brittain. Marion Hunt. Gladys De Wolfe and Irma Neilev inspectors. Promptly at 1.20 on ‘‘Election Day.” the polls opened. The entire process of a regular official election was strictlv followed, and good order was kept during the voting. Mr. Frederic W. Cook, the Somerville City Clerk, was an interested spec- tator at the election and gave the election officers many valuable hints. 'Pile voting was over by 2.15.

I believe, a Senior published in this papet a series of lctter of cut-and-dried” advice to members of the class which you now represent. Without a doubt this series of letters helped many, while from others it called forth only sneers and smites. And now, despite the fact that I am a Senior, a dignified, haughty, blustering: fourth-year-man. I believe that my observation and study of three years mav be f some value to you. who. I am sure, are striving- in every possible way to make your four years here as enjoyable as all school life should be. Now. to make your schooling here pleasant, what have you set up as your aim and ambition? Are you having a good time when you are throw- ing paper, erasers, chalk, etc., or do you prefer to study in study periods, and to listen and to be heard at the proper moment in a recitation? Tf you have chosen the former, you have probably chosen unwisely. From personal experience in the former and its unhappy outcome. I am only too ready to recommend the latter! Don’t allow yourself to think for a minute that a teacher’s one aim is to make life as uncomfort- able for y.� u as the school regulations will permit. On the contrary, if you will observe the rules and regulations yourself, you will appreciate that the efforts of the teacher are primarily for your inter- est to as per nal a degree as the size of the class will permit. Most likely vou have been detained by some instructor to make up some work which was unsatisfactorily done in class. When your name is read to - stav after the close of the session and to make up that w rk.—don’t be a crab and tell every one what you think of that instructor, unless you can prove each and every statement you make. Moral: “In your Freshman 'car. broaden your views to such an extent and in such a direction that iti the three years to come your actions will be so regulated that you will not have to be conscious that there are any regulations in the school.” Let me speak a word in regard to cooperation. It could hardly he expected of you to appreciate the stupendous proposition which is now before Mr. Avery and his assistants. Because you are a Freshman, vou may think that you don’t have to remember the school rules. Banish this train of th night, and instead, remember that because vou are a fir t-year man, you are required to re- member a few very simple rules which are essen- tial to the smooth operation of this immense school. Don’t try to see why the rule is made nor in what way it applies to you: take it for granted that it does apply to you. and make it your busi- ness to comply with its demands. You may believe that the purport of this letter is toward faculty favor.” but. on the contrary, let me state that my aim is to help you to get in- terested iii the truly interesting phase of school life and school work. and. in consequence, to avoid the unpleasant instances which are bound to spring up through disinterest. FRESHMAN . MAKE GOOD! ! Hoping you may have an unusually happy Christmas. I remain, as ever. Your sincere friend. 191 I.

As the time allowed is not sufficient for all pupils to do each recipe it is hoped that pupils will try to compare notes on their results and bring to the class questions that may arise. An opportunity for extra work is given as announced recently. In most cases the recipes used are for six ser- vings. Occasionally it is necessary to use half but each student actually does the work independ- ently that she may be able to cook at home and thus be able to see results from this study. Note: During the week of December I. the classes in Cookery have been fortunate in having a talk by Mr. Jones on The Water Supply of Somerville”: an explanation of the general scheme of the Metropolitan system which brought in many practical points. Mr. Obear will give a talk on Water from the standpoint of the chemist and show by interesting experiments many points which constantly appear and pass by unnoticed. When the high school hall is finished it is an- ticipated that the classes may have a talk by the Massachusetts State Board of Health chemist of the Department of Water Supply, who, with the aid of the stereopticon, will show what the State is doing to safeguard the health of the public as re- gards this important subject. 74 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The R a in a to it rejoices in the receipt of over thirtv exchanges during the past month.

Four twclve- jflrst league Game a TRXIfn� 5—0 minute periods. Somerville won its first league game of the sea- son against Medford. Saturday, November 8. Medford's line, which apeared to be a strong one, held Somerville sate in the first three periods, which consisted chiefly of short line plunges with an occasional exchange of punts. There were no exciting moments until the third period, when Somerville by good plugging and exchanges ot punts worked the ball into Medford's territory. In the fourth period, when the Red and Blue saw the time going and their chances wavering, they became desperate. Here it was on a well directed shift play that Jim Robertson, by remark- able dodging and good interference, went around right end fifty yards for a touchdown. Although he was called back, nevertheless this run thrilled the spectators. A moment later he received the ball again and by great speed tore away from every one and over for a touchdown which won the game. The kick-out for a try at goal was a failure.

Somerville, who had played the better game from the start, was bafiled in the last few minutes of play by the long forward passes of her opponents. After working his team to within a few yards of the goal. Hurley, of Malden, dropped back and kicked a field goal, but it was not allowed; twelve men being on the field. Somerville’s first score came as the result of a forward pass. Jim Robertson to Magno, the latter scoring after a run of twenty yards. Jim Robert- son scored the second touchdown for the Red and Blue. Breaking through the line he took a for- ward pass from an opponent just as it left his hands and spurted for a touchdown. Somerville's strong line was more than a match for Malden’s attack, which was held safe most of the time. Score:— SOMERVILLE. MALDEN. Doughty, lioban. Magno, I.e....r.c.. Hill. Doyle I. Robertson.

Most of the playing was done on Melrose territory, Somerville s goal be- ing in danger but once, which was due to a fluke and allowed Melrose to score. Somerville’s first score resulted from a splendid dash down the side line by Egan after catching a punt. Although Melrose played fairly well. Somerville’s superiority in all departments was clearly evident. Melrose being thrown for loss sev- eral times and finding it useless to hit Somer- ville’s strong defence.

Somerville emerges from the fray the holder of second place honors in the Suburban League. To be beaten by Everett this year was far from a disgrace, for she was everywhere conceded to be of college calibre and the most powerful school boy team in the East. Everett’s almost impenetrable defence averaged around ISO pounds from tackle to tackle, which is well up in the records for heavy school teams. In the first half the Everett team, although stub- bornly resisted, scored twice because of its sup- perior weight and strength. Both goals were kicked. Everett kept up the scoring in the second half as might well have been expected by a comparison � � i the teams when on the field. Everett resorted mostly to the old style of play, line bucking and tackle plays. Occasionally Cannell would break loose and tear around the end for good gains. Captain Alec Anderson, although outweighed by his man forty-seven pounds, played a wonderful game, as did Jim Robertson. Ellis and Hayden. The game gave Everett the Suburban League championship.

Somerville was forced to sup the bitter cup of defeat at the hands of Rindgc. (hue flash of luck, one break in the game turned tlie greatest school boy classic around Boston on Thanksgiving Day into a victory for Rindgc. Nearly 8,000 people saw the game: the cheering was grand, and typical football weather ruled the scene. Rindgc kicked off t Somerville and Wiley ran it back ten yards to the thirty-five-yard line. Som- erville immediately broke loose on two plays around the end and soon reached the middle of the field. Here the onrush was not stopped, and with a somewhat varied attack, they kept on to- wards Cambridge’s goal. Suddenly there was a stop and the home team held. Here, that which happens too many times happened now and Rindgc received the ball. That ended Somerville’s sen- sational dash down the field, which was the best piece of football in the whole game. Rindgc punted out of danger. The rest of the period was chiefly kicking, in which Jim Robertson had de- cidedly the best of it. Rjudge’s score in the second period proved fatal to Somerville. Although the latter seemed to be the better team at the start, the contest now evened up and what Rindgc seemed to have lacked it now suddenly acquired. Somerville, held for downs on Rindge’s forty-five-yard line, called on 78 SOMERVTLLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR E. H. WELLINGTON, President E. A. F. BURTNETT, Treasurer WELLINGTON BUCK CO. C O A.

It bounded back to Somerville territory and was snatched up by Coyne, who carried it to within six yards of the goal line. It took four rushes to propel the ball these six yards, which shows how Somerville held when put to the test. Finally Rindge scored and their backers went frantic. Somerville, although dazed by such a sudden blow, came back stronger than ever and the Red and Blue cheering sections roared forth their cheers of encouragement, for they felt sure their team was far from beaten and would surely score. Between the halves there was much excitement on both sides. Rindge exultant with joy and Som- erville eager and restless for a renewal of hostili- ties in order that their highest hopes for victory might be satisfied. Both teams came back strong and the vigorous attack of the Somerville eleven showed plainly the effects of the between-the-halves talk. But try as they might they were not able to make much ground through Kludge's heavier line and there- fore resorted to pun-ting, watching alertly for a fumble or some break in the game, which never came. The fourth period was most desperately fought with Somerville doing most of the rushing and Rindge holding stubbornly and kicking whenever the ball come into their possession. So it swayed in the middle of the field back and forth until there were left but a few minutes to play. Here it was on the last stand that Somerville gave her last punch, which, although it fell short, was a valiant one and showed the same spirit that has characterized the Red and Blue teams of old.

How quickly the spring had changed to summer, and now the chilled air and the gorgeously colored forest made known the pres- ence of the fall. Just a year ago he had come to us. a wee little pup, hungry and friendless, and we took him in. I can sec father now, as he m stooped over the dead body of the stranger, lying before the farmhouse door, and tenderly lifted the little dog from the stranger's jacket pocket and gave him to me. W here he came from, or who his master was. we never learned: nor for some time could we determine the classification of the new addition to our family. A whole year had wrought great changes in “Comrade. for he was now a handsome collie, with wolf-blood in his veins. I lis care of the flocks on the hillside was perfect, and we lost no sheep, as had our neighbor, Joe Hanson, in the valley. Joe had watched night after night for the mur- derer, and at last beheld the cause of all his losses. “So you have shot the prowler? inquired my father of his visitor. “Xo, returned our neighbor. I was so sur- prised at what I saw that 1 let the mischief-maker escape. Mr. Goodwin, that sheep-killer is none else but your own dog, ’Comrade’! The discussion was long and heated and finally ended with father promising to watch the collie. That very night another sheep was killed and the murder laid to “Comrade. even after father proved to the angry farmer the next morning that the dog was as lie had left him the night before, chained to the wall in the woodshed. Matters were becoming serious, so I decided to watch from behind the wood-pile. The early hours of the night slipped by and “Comrade slept. The midnight moon cast its silvery beams across the old shed floor, and the collie rose, blinking, as they played upon his face. Suddenly he laid his head upon the floor, and with his paws pushed the collar from his neck, and with a mighty spring, vanished through the open window. Two hours later, lie was back again, his white throat spattered with crimson. He began to wash himself with great care, after which he forced the collar back over his head, and returned to complete his nap. There in the shed, my father gave his verdict, as I knelt beside my pet. stroking the long, soft hair, while my eyes swelled with tears. No longer would we roam the wooded hill together, nor hunt the rabbit or trail the deer. A cold nose touched my burning cheek, and as I awoke from my reverie and gazed into the beautiful eyes, they seemed to say: Don't cry, little master; I can take care of myself. I he morning broke bright and cold, and my father took his gun to perform the execution, but to his surprise and my great satisfaction, “Com- rade had gone, leaving behind an empty collar and a broken window to tell the talc. The days passed into weeks: the winter changed to spring and still no word, and we gradually forgot him in the press of other matters. It was a beautiful spring morning when I turned my horse’s head due west, for I must make a long journey ere I should see again the little farm on the old New Hampshire hilltop. I was nineteen, strong and healthy, but the thought of having considerable money in my possession made me ill at ease, for my trip lay through woods and high- waymen were frequent. The journey down the hillside was made in safety and arriving on the stage road I made Sawyer's at sundown. This inn lay at the junction of three roads and was of fair reputation. A shed served as a stable, and here I saw that my tired mount was properly cared for. A handsome collie made friends with me, and followed close upon my heels, as I entered the inn, where a short, thick-set man greeted me:— “Funny how that 'ere pup likes you: never knew him to make of a stranger ’afore! Supper, sir? Xo. I’m a bit too tired to cat. just show me a room! “Get out to the stable! ordered the proprietor, aiming a kick at the dog. “This gentleman don’t want you as a bed-fellow!” “Let him stay, if lie will, lie don’t bother me!” I requested, for I liked the animal, and feeling lonely, wished for a companion. As you wish! returned the man, indifferently. “You’ll pardon my seeming rudeness.” he con- tinued. “but it’s customary to receive my pay a’forehand.” I nodded, but was at a loss to know what to do. All my money was in my belt and I dared not show that I had any great amount in my possession, yet there was nothing else to do, so I unloosened my SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 87 belt and paid my bill. The man did not seem to notice my hesitation, nor the money in my belt, and I breathed easier, although it seemed to me that he placed me in a different room than lie first in- tended. Leaving a lantern for my use, the fellow bowed himself out and closed the door, which I bolted af- ter him. With a glance I noted my surroundings; a little square room, bare walls, one narrow win- dow. a small corner bed and a chest that served as a seat. •Xot very home-like, is it. old fellow? T in- quired of my new found friend, who seemed to un- derstand and answered with a pathetic wag of his bushy tail. Removing my shoes. 1 was about to throw my tired body upon the bed. when my shaggv friend caught me by the leg and firmly but gently pulled me away. At first I was amused, but as the dog continued the performance. I lost my temper and thrashed the animal with my shoes. Still the creature persisted to keep me away from the bed. no matter how great the pain I inflicted on him. and finally it dawned on me that some- thing might be wrong, so f looked under the bed and in the bed, but could find nothing unusual. My patience was most exhausted, and with one last hope to solve the mystery. I laid the chest upon the bed. To my astonishment the bed sprang to- ward the wad with a crash, and what had seemed to be a solid wall was but an opening, through which the bed had disappeared. Peering cautiously into the hole in the wall. I found mvsclf gazing down a deep shaft, that ended in darkness. A shiver passed over me. as I thought of my narrow escape from death, and sleep for the rest of the night was impossible, so seating myself on the floor, with the dog bv my side and pistol in hand, I waited impatiently for the dawn of day. ‘‘So that's their trick! I mused half aloud. “I wonder how many have met their fate in that shaft. Old comrade, if it hadn't been for you. God knows where I’d be now!’ The dog leaped upon me play- fully. and I thought how like my own lost collie did this animal seem. As the first ray of the early morn crept into the room. I unbarred the door and cautiously made my way to the stable. Nobody was anywhere to be seen, and only my horse was in the shed, where- as there had been two others the night before, and it puzzled me why my mount had been left, if robbery had been the motive. Hastily mounting I looked for the dog. but he. too. had vanished, so with all speed I continued my journey. Two miles were covered and my spirits began to rise along with mv appetite. Just ahead, the road turned sharply, and boulders of all sizes and shapes lay on both sides, an ideal spot for a holdup. I laughed at my fear, but before I could turn my horse, two mounted men rushed upon me, and one seized my bridle. So, my young bantam! grinned the leader, “we meet again, huh? We know you've got the money and we mean to have it! Take off that belt! ordered the taller of the two. “Keep them paws up! There was nothing else for me but to obey. was certainly in a bad fix. 1 thought to myself, and wondered what they would do after they had the money. They had just relieved me of my belt when I heard a growl, followed by a scream from one of the masked men. His horse became frightened and plunged against his companion's steed and finally disappeared in a cloud of dust, with an animal clinging to his leg. Seizing the opportunity, at the disconcertion of the bandits, and trusting to Providence for strength, I clinched with the leader and we rolled to the ground. My antagonist was a powerful man. and as the mask fell from his face. I saw it was 'Pom Sawyer, proprietor of the inn. He was far the stronger and my strength was fast ebbing away. could not hold out much longer; my head began to sing and dance: the knife hovered above my breast; T feared all was over. I must have fainted, for when I gained con- sciousness, I found my collie friend of the previous evening caressing mv face. I was too weak to rise, so I lay for sometime gazing over tlie field of combat. I could sec my horse grazing beside the road, and nearby lay the body of my antagonist. Rising unsteadily to my knees. I felt for some sign of life in the body, but the dog had done his work only too well. Phc inonev belt lay beside him and T fastened it about my waist. Come, old fellow, we'll leave this place! I cried huskily, but the noble animal had breathed his last: .lie cruel knife thrust that had been in- tended for me had done its work. With tears in my eyes. I took one of the great paws in my hands and as 1 did the glitter of a silver band drew my attention, while my heart leaped within me. There, carved in small letters on the silver ring, was the word Comrade. which I had placed there myself when the faithful creature had lived with us as a pup. How large and beautiful lie had grown and but for the ring I should have never known him as mv old friend. “Comrade.” Faithful unto death, lie had served me. and now in grief I laid my friend away. 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR B Aborning on tbc flMaygrounb By? nation S. Clark, ’15 B XE morning, on my way down to the playground, I heard some one be- hind me shyly calling my name and I turned to see a little girl coming smilingly towards me. She was leading by the hand a tiny boy just able to walk. I held out my hand to her, for I knew that our destinations were the same, and together we walked on while she told me how she liked the playground. ‘'Today,” she finished happily, I am to take a shower bath. Looking down at her. I thought that it was a pity that she could not go under the shower dress and all. Hut what will you do with baby brother while you take the shower bath?” I asked. Oh. lie will be all right: if there is no one there to ‘mind’ him. 1 will just leave him in one of the baby- swings—babies are always safe on the play- ground!” Just then, we reached the yard-gate and she left me to take the baby inside. Watch- ing her, I could not help pitying her, she looked so forlornly ragged and dirty, but she was happy! I went on to the school itself, where I found that my little friend was not the only one who wished to take a shower bath that morning, for already a large group of girls was waiting about the entrance. As I approached the door, the girls surrounded me and I was besought on all sides to let me in. please let me in. I'll be good, do let me in. Hut I knew that it was not time for them to be let in, so after unlocking the door. I opened it only a little way and then closed it quickly behind me. I paused a minute to laugh back at the woeful faces before me, and then I went on upstairs. A few minutes later, one of the teachers went down to open the door for the impatient girls and I went to one of the windows to look down upon the yard a minute before going out. The janitor was just putting up the swings and a swarm of children followed him about laughing and shouting, and eagerly seizing each one of the swings as it was put in place. More children were constantly coming into the yard and taking possession of the teeters, slides and sand-boxes. With the rest, came the little mothers, ’ who went directly to the baby-swings, where they de- posited their charges. Around the most distant swing 1 noticed some children who seemed to be in trouble so I turned from the window and went out of tlie building and on to the playground. Half-a-dozen children bore down upon me at once from as many different directions, while from the swings several voices called out, asking me to give a push” to this one and that one. Hut I went on to that distant swing, where the group of children was larger than before. As I drew near, 1 saw that the disturbance centred around a little girl who sat stolidly in the swing, holding the chains tightly in her hands. A girl came up to me and whispered by way of explanation: She's an Eyetalion; she don’t know nothin’. Then i remembered the two Italian children who had been in this country only a little over a week, and saw what the trouble was. The poor child in the swing could not understand a word which the ex- cited American boys and girls were saying to her, but reaii .ing that they wished her to give up the swing, and probably not seeing why she should she stubbornly kept her seat. I sent for our little interpreter, who came and explained to the child clearly enough to make her submit to be- ing led away from the swing. As I turned away, I felt someone pull my dress and looking around, I saw the younger Italian girl pomting first to herself and then to the swings. So I sat right down on the ground where I was and attempted to give her an Eng- lish lesson. 1 tried to have her say: I want a swing.” that sentence being shorter even if some- what less polite than Please, may I have a swingY9 V e both labored patiently for a while, my pupil succeeding fairly well except on the word want.” 'Hie pronunciation of that she could not master although she tried faithfully again and again. Even tl ough she did not learn my sentence, a few days later she called out to me from one of the swings, Hoosh, boosh.” and I knew that she wanted a push. My this time the teachers were out upon the grounds and games and dances were in progress everywhere. Noticing a little boy returning from the building with a ball. I went with him to start a game of guess-ball. Just after our game had be- gun. I looked up to see the supervisor standing in the gate-way. She was evidently much pleased by the sight, which she well might have been, for before her were several hundred children, all apparently happy. She was not allowed to stand looking on for a very long time, howcvci. for there SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 89 was not a child in the yard who did not love her, and as soon as she was noticed, there was a general stampede in her direction. She stood talking with the children for awhile and then many of them «eturned to their games while the rest followed her over toward the building. I knew well enough that she was about to tell a story, so I. too. joined the group around her. There was little of that story which I heard, however, for I was watching the children. They formed a circle around her. the nearest ones sitting and the rest standing closeby. Even the girls who had been wheeling baby-carriages about the yard drew near to listen. There was not a sound to be heard except the story-teller’s voice and an occasional sharp in-drawn breath. The children’s faces were bright with eager interest as they leaned forward lest they lose a word of the story. As I watched them, those poor, neg- lected-looking little children. I realized as never before the great good being done by the play- ground. The children were learning more than they realized, even while they were being amused. And did they appreciate the playground? This feeling toward it was well voiced. I think, by the little girl who said as she faced a ten-days interval between the closing of playground and the open- ing of school: “Well, we might as well all die to- day : playground's over.” tlbe fllbule J6y? Xcslie ID. tUillarD, T4 IM Morrison was a young, broad- shouldered giant whose smiling face and pleasant manner attracted all with whom he came in contact. Jim lived in the southwest corner of Michigan and had arrived at Osbourne College for his first year. Jim’s knowledge of football had been acquired from magazine articles and the practice of his high school eleven which lie had occasionally seen. But having to work most of the time for money to de- fray his college expenses he could not try out for the team like most of the boys. Therefore Jim was surprised when coming from the dining hall one day Jack Hollis, the captain of the football team, stopped him and said:— “Say, Morrison! Why don’t you come out for the team? You arc large and quick enough. Jim replied: “T never played a game in my life and don’t know how.” “That’s all right. Those prep school stars think they know so much that we can’t teach them any- thing. Come out tomorrow and try it. Jim decided since he had passed all his examina- tions. and found his studies somewhat easier than he had expected, he would try football. So he borrowed a pair of moleskins from a fellow fresh- man and putting on an old jersey reported for practice. Then came days of dreary work: falling on the ball and tackling the dummy until Jim was ad- vanced to the scrub. After his advancement Jim worked harder than ever and the scrub with him as right halfback kept the varsity from scoring day after day. But Jim knew that he was not as fine a player as the varsity backs, for he was best in stopping the opposing team, and was too slow for offensive work. The captain told him one day. after the coach and he had ripped the varsity to pieces for allow- ing the scrub to hold them, that if he could hit the line faster or kick thirty or forty yards, he would be sure of making the varsity next year. Already by his strong defence he had the nick-name of “The Mule and he decided to make the varsity and win his letter. But how? Because of his popularity he was elected presi- dent of his class and became the toast-master at the class banquet. Although he had done well his first year of his college life he went home for his summer’s vacation feeling very discouraged. Jim worked hard on the farm all the month of July, and in the evenings he studied his football position and tried to think of some way to improve himself. Every evening before dark lie took an old football out behind the barn and tried kicking. His efforts were without success and he was about discouraged, when one evening his Uncle Robert came unexpectedly upon him while he was practic- ing. “Hello, nephew, what are you doing?” ‘T am trying to learn how to kick. said Jim. “but I am not very successful.” “Let me try it. I haven't kicked a football for five years, but I believe I can beat your record.” Jim’s Unde Robert laid aside his coat and taking the ball kicked it about forty yards down the field. Jim was greatly surprised, for he had never heard that his uncle had been the all-American halfback in his college days. 90 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “I have done better than that, my boy,” lie said, “and it is because I know how. Xow watch me.” Jim watched and saw that his uncle gave a quick twist to his foot just as it struck the ball and it gave the ball a corkscrew.motion. Jim’s uncle stayed two weeks and during that time |im learned the peculiar twist and much more which would be oi use to him in playing his posi- tion. When the vacation was over and Jim returned to school he was noticeably changed so that the boys remarked Jim must have found a fortune or was engaged to be married. I ut Jim had found something better than either to him. a way to make the varsity. The critics predicted a poor year in football for Jim’s Alma Mater. They pointed out that Hollis, the famous fullback and captain, was graduated and Jackson, the left halfback of last year's team, had gone into business. Therefore they reasoned that the red and blue of Osbourne College was due to be defeated. Hut the critics did not reckon with Jim Morri- son. and ()sbourne College surprised the sporting world by winning from the Michigan State Col- lege. After Jim had proved that he could kick and play better than lie had ever done before, the varsity was encouraged and all through the season tliev put tip a fine game. They lost only one game and won the rest bv small margins. The game with Fardale, their opponent in all sports for years, was due Thanksgiving day and Fardale s team had won every game. Captain Merriam of the red and blue called Jim to his room after their last game before Thanks- giving and asked his opinion of the coming game. “Well, Tom. the chances are about even and I don’t need to tell you that the boys will do their best. Right you are. Jim. said the captain, if you can kick on Thanksgiving day. we will have a chance of winning.” Thanksgiving day dawned bright, clear, and cold, an ideal day for the game. Long before the time for the game the stands were crowded with groups of college boys and their parents. One side of the field was a mass of red and blue, while the other was a solid dark green with the white lined field between. Jim's Uncle Robert had come down from the city and had spoken to Jim before he went into the gymnasium after his togs. Xow. my boy. fight for the red and blue today and win.” When the two teams ran on the field, the shouts of thousands made the air resound with their patriotic cheers. The first half was a hard struggle, both teams playing straight football, and many a poor lad was carried off the field with a twisted ankle or dis- located hip or shoulder. Hut both teams fared alike, and when the second half began the line was mostly made up of substitutes. The minutes passed while the Fardale boys tried many tricks and complicated plays, but the right half-back of the red and blue appeared to be everywhere and at the right minute would block their plays. I’he minutes passed slowly, and the ball stayed near the centre of the field, neither side being able to advance it for more than three downs. At last when but a few minutes were left to play and it was the red and blue’s ball on the forty-five yard line, Jim dropped back to kick. The signal was given, the ball came back, and Jim. thinking only of the white cross bar down the field, kicked the ball. Two big tackles broke through and fell upon him. but the ball soared high. The spectators held their breath while the ball, shooting lower and lower, struck the bar and bounced over. A great cry came from the loyal supporters of tlie red and blue. See that Mule kick! ’Rah! ’Rah! 'Rah! Morrison! Morrison! Morrison! And Jim hearing them knew that the game had been won. The triumphant college boys carried Jim off the field on their shoulders, and that night at the banquet after the toast. “Here’s to the Mule. they elected him captain for the coming year. 4 4 Bnb B little CbtlbSball Xcab Zhan ft J y 2 orotb IE. Waves, T4 T was late in the afternoon on an Indian summer day. The air was hot and enervating; the birds were dreamily swaying on the heavy boughs; tlie bees were sleepily humming around the flaming poppy cow-bells sounded from the dis- tant slopes like fairy summons to slumber. The little green and white cottage looked rebuk- ingly superior to all elements as it nestled among the flaming poppies, the over-burdened fruit trees, and the embracing slopes. On the vine-covered porch was a woman, rock- ing backward and forward in rhythm with the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9i throbbing, pulsing, drowsing life around her. She was a charming woman. She was beyond thirty years of age: her hair was brown and curling, and her eves held all the tints of the Indian summer. Her figure was slight and dainty, her garments filmy and cool. Her hands held a book, but her eyes were questioning the far-away hills. “Well. Marcia Darrell, what do you think? 'I'he speaker was a large, extremely excited, highly flushed individual who was hurrying up the flagstone path and strenuously wiping her face with one hand, and wielding a huge palm leaf fan with the other. “It is too great an exertion to think of much of anything. Mrs. Brown. What is the latest news item?” My dear, haven’t you heard? Well, that’s funny. Jim Sawyer just drove over from the mills on his way to town and told us all about it. Didn’t you see him drive by with the sorrel mare? He says Seth Barton’s got a sun stroke and ain’t expected to live. Well, I always said if he kep’ on workin’ in the fields on these hot days some- thin’ would happen to him. An’ the Jeffreys aint got done hayin’ yet! What do you think 0’ that? They always was a lazy crowd anyhow, ever since I can remember. Oh, dear, I was goin’ to tell you the news, wa’n’t I? Jim says as how the Peters’s over at the Mills has got some summer boarders, the swellest ever—right from the city. There’s a man and his little girl and a nurse for the child. They come in an automobile with one o’them French driver people. They had to take their hayrick out 0’ the barn to make room for that automobile. 'I'he little girl’s ’bout eight years old. and the man’s big and fine lookin’. I reckon he «may be an actor or somethin’ like that, don’t you? He might have run away from his wife with his little girl like some 0’ them folks we read about in the papers a spell back, lie ain’t said nothin’ about his wife to no one, and no one can’t find out nothin’ about him.—how much money lie’s got or where lie come from or nothin’ —only his auto sign says Xew York—but land! that don’t count for nothin’. Say, Miss Darrell, wan’t it New York that you come from six years ago?’’ “Yes,—I------” “Well, now, I thot so. Mebbe you’ll know this man if you sec him drivin’ round in that auto 0’ liis’n. You hadn’t always lived in New York be- fore you come here, had you? • No,—1 lived here as a child, but I went to New Y'ork to school after my mother died, and I stayed there until six years ago.’’ Your pa died out there some place, didn't he?” “Yes-----” Seems strange to me. Miss Darrell, that you ain’t never married. You're mighty good lookin’ now, an’ you must have been a beauty when you was young. My Sally’s a handsome girl. I reckon you looked somethin’ like her. Didn't you ever have no followers out in New York? I should think you might have caught one 0’ them rich Fitli Avcnoo fellers—but p’raps you’re like my Betty, and don't care for the men folks. Now she's that scared 0’ men that when Jim was tellin’ about this ’ere stranger over t' the Mills, she ran out 0’ the house and out into the orchard. But Sally was terrible interested and asked all about him. She's an awful particular girl and is mighty careful who she goes with. 1 shouldn’t wonder a mite if she caught this rich feller if he could only see her. She’s a fetchin’ lookin’ girl, and smart— my land sakes!—but she can cook and keep house as well as I can, and sing—my land!—she can sing bctter’11 some grand opery singers, ’cause Mr. Hathaway, one 0’ the summer boarders to Mis’ Swan’s, said so. Wouldn’t it be grand if she could get a rich husband like him—now—and go to New York to live and have an auto and servants and such like. I guess we’d be pretty popular in this neighborhood. But ain’t it hot! Oh, dear me, I didn’t see you ring that little bell for your Marv. Ain’t this good! Is it lemonade? My Sally made some lemonade the last time the new minister called, and that very night he proposed to her. But Sally ain't exactly cut out for a minister’s wife. She ought to have a rich husband, and she ought to get a wav from this town. It's narrowin’ in its influences, don’t you think so? No. mv dear, I really must get back to sec that supper’s started. 'I'he men folks are always so hungry when the day’s over. No matter how hot it is they cat jest the same. I thot I’d jest run over and tell you the news. I told Sally I'd be right back. I hope it ain't so hot tomorrow, don’t you? Goodbye.” And she laboriously took her way across the fields to the old gray farm house, called bv the facetious country-folk, “The Publishing House of the Daily News.” The small brown-eyed woman continued to rock rhythmically, and her eyes still questioned the silent hills. She suddenly arose and went into the tiny living-room. She unlocked a drawer in her desk, took out a leather case, opened it and looked 92 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR long and steadily at the pictured faces. One was of a man of middle age. strong and robust, with laughing eyes and firm but tender mouth. The other was of a baby girl with curling ringlets, un- smiling eyes, parted lips and extended arms. “( h, if it could only be! If it could only be my baby—and her daddy. If he could have come of his own accord! Oh. how much I have missed out «-I life! Lut in these years I have learned that I do love him. I was not a commodity sold by my father to retain hi-- worldly position—for I know he loved-me. Perhaps—perhaps it has been worth it all—just to learn that! She folded the case, put it back in the drawer, locked it in. and went up stairs. That night while the fevered earth slept for a moment, an automobile purred up the slope toward the little green and white cottage—stopped at the gate, and throbbed, throbbed into the silence of the night. When the stars had winked and blinked at this phenomenal sight and returned again i their accustomed watching and waiting, the car purred down the slope. The next morning. Marcia was up early, picking her flowers, weeding her garden, and talking with the birds, when she was startled by the prolonged “toot” of an automobile horn. She started back within the shade of the old trees as the machine pushed on up the slope. Suddenly a gleeful, child- ish cry rang out. ( )h. Jimmy, stop the car and let me get out and just look at those beautiful poppies. Daddy always told me that poppies were mother’s favorite flowers. Aren't they lovely?” The child jumped lightly from the car and ran among the flowers. Marcia stood faint and trem- bling. “Oh. my baby! I know it is my baby. T cannot bear to see her but—oh, Lord, give me strength! The child had seen the woman among the trees, and had run towards her with a question on her lips, but when she saw the woman's face she stopped. T beg your pardon, but I did want to look at the flowers. My mother used to love them so.” “Have you no mother?” Marcia choked. “She went away years ago. when I was a very little girl, and 1 do not remember her. But mv Daddy loved her dearly, and he often tells me about her. Do you know—I imagine she must have looked something like you. Do you mind if I kiss you just once?” The mother clasped the child hungrily to her� and kissed her again and again. The child looked up astonished. “Are you feeling sorry for some one, too?” “Yes, I am sorry, very sorry, for someone —- very, very sorry for myself—am I not selfish— but you see I lost someone, two sotneones, years ago, very dear to me,—-but come, we will pick some of these bright red poppies for you to take home to—Daddy—and tell him that they are from some- one who is very, very sorry.” And Marcia, still clasping the child with one arm. led the way through the nodding poppies, gathering the great sleepy posies and crushing them into the child's arms. Suddenly the gate slammed: hurried steps came up tlie flagstones, and a voice shouted “Edith— little girl!— ' Marcia wheeled around, still holding the child, and faced the man. ‘‘Marcia! Edith! What does this mean?” It means that this lady is feeling sorry. Daddy, and she was sending these flowers to you by me —to tell vou so.” “Marcia, is it so?” John—John! After all these years I have learned that it was not forgetfulness I wanted— but you—you and our baby!” And the woman, the child and the poppies were folded in the man’s arms. H IRunawa? Motor (Lav Carl IE. Wewton, ’16 B IYCENZO PERRI was elated at the prospect of a new job. He was a short, stumpy, brown-faced and brown-eyed Italian, who worked hard and honestly as a cement con- tractor in a little country town situated on a branch line of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad. TIis men all quit work at five o’clock every day, however, and he hated the thought of wasting the rest of the day in doing nothing. Scully, the man who had had the job of lighting the lamps at the various switches along that par- ticular branch of the railroad, had secured a posi- tion as station-master at the last station on the branch line before the branch joined the main line. The job of lighting the switch lamps consequently being vacant, Perri had applied for the position SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 93 since this work would begin at fifteen minutes past five, and would not interfere with his con- tract work. 'Hie next day he received the joyful news that the jab was assigned to him. He was to begin work that very day. To assist him in the perform- ance of his new duties lie was given the use of a car. somewhat resembling a handcar, but in- stead of being run by hand it was run by a gaso- line motor, making the car weigh about five hun- dred pounds. It could carry four people at one time and was able to run thirty-five miles an hour. That day and every day for the next month or two lie performed his duty without delay. One afternoon his son. Frank, asked his father if lie might accompany him on one of his daily trips. His father replied in the negative, thinking that lie might be in the way. For several days afterwards the boy begged his father to let him go, arguing that there was plenty of room: but each time lie received the answer, “Xo.” His father was usually very obliging, but the persistency of his son seemed to have no effect on him. On a particularly foggy day as Perri was ap- proaching a stretch of straight track for nearly a mile and a half ahead, a little white, curly-haired dog ran swiftly along by the side of the car. bark- ing loudly. At first he paid no attention to him, but the dog and the foggy weather began to irri- tate him. so, seizing his hat. he aimed a blow at the quickly tiring dog. Then he struck, but as lie did so the force lie had put into the blow and a sudden lurch of the car caused him to lose his balance. He clutched wildly at the air. but in spite of all he could do, he sprawled headlong into a dirt bank by the side of the track. Sitting up dazed but unhurt he saw his car quickly disappearing in the fog ahead of him at its highest rate of speed. He did not know what to make of it. The dog barking and jumping around him only served to increase his anger. “Take that!’ he exclaimed savagely as he hurled a stone at the dog. but the dog just picked it up. brought it back, and laid it at his feet. “After all. the dog was not so much to blame.” thought Perri, ex- asperated though he was. for he had a sense of justice. P ut he was losing time. The car would keep on and would be very liable to collide with some team or automobile at a crossing in the fog, he thought. Then injury to property and probably to people as well would occur. Perhaps someone might be killed. He shuddered at the thought, knowing that in that case he would be held responsible. The car had disappeared in the fog bv this time, and Perri doggedly ran down the track in the same direction, as fast as his short legs would carry him. Another awful thought crossed his mind. If the car did not run into anything it would keep right on to the main line. Then it would run in- definitely till it hit a train and would be smashed to pieces, in which case he would have to pay for it. It might possibly derail the train, he thought, causing great loss of life and property, but if he had stopped to reason, he would have seen that a five-lnmdred-pound car would not be likely to derail a locomotive. “Gee. I wish Pd taken the ‘kid’ along!” he panted. He could stop the car.” Put he had not taken the kid along, so what good could it do to wish? Fairbairn. a farmer whose farm bordered on the track, was out in his field at the time the car went by. lie started to run out to see what he could do. but realizing the impossibility of stopping it. turned bad: and resumed his work. Looking up the track, he saw Perri faintly through the fog. Then, realizing that something was wrong, he ran to a nearby house and telephoned the situation to Scully, who. as before mentioned, was station-mas- ter at the last station before the branch joined the main railroad. He also telephoned the flagmen who were stationed at the various crossings, and warned them to lower the gates till the car had passed. He knew the names of these men since lie traveled that way with fresh milk and eggs quite often. Scullv hit upon a scheme to stop the car. In a nearby field were some discarded railroad ties, piled up. waiting to be taken away and sawed up for fire-wood by whoever might want them. One by one he tugged five of these front the field, laid them cross-wise upon the track, and awaited the oncoming car. Meanwhile Perri. knowing nothing of what had happened, ran doggedly on till he came to the nearest crossing. Here there was an old dis- carded hand car which had been in use before the motor car. He had great difficulty in oiling this up and getting it in order to go. but with the aid of tile flagman’s oilcan he finally succeeded in do- ing it. The flagman was just about to tell Perri that Fairbairn had telephoned him. but Perri had already started to light the rest of the lamps. It took him more than three times as much time as he could have done it with the motor car but finally he arrived at the last station at about quarter of nine. Rushing into the station, lie met Scully, who was just preparing to leave for the night. “Did my (Continued on page '. ] 94 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S Xintecn-fourteen has arrived. Seniors. Grad- uation time, to which von have long been looking forward, is fast approaching. The iast six months are. perhaps, the most difficult of your high school course, because of the various pre-graduation ar- rangements and the numerous social functions, which with becoming grace you cannot avoid. All these things have a tendency to produce fatigue, and to interrupt study at the very time vou most need a vigorous body and a clear and alert brain. Hence, Seniors, let us watch sharply this invid- ious theft of time and energy, and make these clos- ing months of the high school life enjoyable and profit able. V, K � On December 23, 1913, for the first time For more than twenty years, the entire student body of the high school were assembled in one room. The purpose was to dedicate the beautiful new hall, and this was done in the presence of many city officials, the entire faculty and student body —nearly 2.000 being present. Somerville should be proud of having so satis- factory a public hall—in which the pupils can as- semble for lectures, debates, mass meetings, or social functions: or which can be used by the citi- zens for public or private purposes.

This is the Tub- lie Library lately dedicated. I lie school and the library arc the two great public institutions for educational purposes, and for this reason they should be closely associated. To make this association possible, Mr. Drew B. Hall, the librarian, has appointed Miss Marion Lovis to especially attend to the high school needs. From her pupils may obtain outside in- formation on any subject connected with high school work. K V. v V In his recent annual report, Superintendent Clark points out the need of a gymnasium. Som- erville is one of the few cities of its size that has no ‘‘gym. One would be greatly appreciated, especially by the girls, who have no definite athletic interests. A few months ago, there was a rumor that a part of the old library was to be used as a gym. and why not. for in it there is ample space, and its nearness to the school itself would make il an ideal one. v v v v The High School orchestra needs players on the flute, clarinet, trombone, and double-bass viol.

SOMERVILLE HIGH 5CIIOJL RADIATOR 95 School mews dedication ot the ittew iball On Tuesday, December 23, the pupils of Som- erville High School held informal dedication ex- ercises in the recently completed school auditor- ium. The last two periods of the day's work were omitted, and directly following the regular long intermission, the pupils filed for the first time into the beautiful new hall. The hall is square with a balcony on tiiree sides, and has seats for 1,400. The main entrance is from the West Building and there are several exits on the different sides of the hall. The simplicity of its appointments is most pleasing, the only wall decorations being the bas-reliefs, the frieze of the Parthenon, purchased by funds raised by ora- torios given by the school. Mr. Avery presided at the noon exercises while Mayor Charles A. Burns, Mayor-elect Zebedee E. Cliff, Henry II. Folsom, chairman of the school committee. Charles S. Clark, superintendent of schools, Drew B. Hall, public librarian, and Albert C. Ashton, of the school board, were present on the platform. Selections were given by the school orchestra, led by Raymond Chaffee, M3, and this was fol- lowed bv piano solos by Miss Gertrude Innis, and songs by the school and by the Boys’ Glee Club. Short speeches were made by Mayor Burns, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Avery, after which the exercises were concluded by the singing of the school song, “Somervilla. Cheering of the wildly enthusias- tic sort followed. The school spirit which we have long heard would be promoted by the pos- session of a high school hall was delightfully dem- onstrated as present. -------------------------------- 11MM Hip ha So tort tv The Phi Alpha girls.

Perri failed to notice the twinkle in the other’s eye. but was so glad he did not stop to care how Scully had stopped it. The two managed to haul the car back onto the track. Perr grasped Scully’s hand. Thank you. he said, gratefully. “Let me give you a bit of advice. said Scully, as the Italian prepared to start the motor on the way home.

But come! such a spirit won’t help much, This work has got to be done, For the Editor has kindly informed me, “All material in by One!” In my frenzy I seize a paper, The Quarterly, Stamford High. There is no room for improvement But an Exchange Column somewhere nigh. The next is Orange Peals, Orange, paper of great renown: The arrangement of departments is excellent, And its Grinds” are served up brown. The Olympian.

The Triangle, Emma Willard School, 1 am always glad to see; And I can not keep from wishing It were published more times than three. A paper good is the Pioneer From New Orleans far away, The jolly old saint on the cover Is just right for Christmas Day.

Let us then try for future day. He champions of Red and I Hue. lthough IIM.’I has rolled away into history without any championship being realized, do not be pessimistic, for HU I is here and three champion- ships awaiting. Admitting that there have been these disappointments yet the calibre of the sportsmanship, in all respects, has been of such high standard that nothing but praise and admira- tion can be offered in return. Clean and healthful sport has been the motive, and those who wit- nessed the contest with Waltham or Rindgc last fall could not help being impressed bv such a demonstration of clean sportsmanship and school spirit. That was a grand opening of the hockey season in the Arena. January 2. Victory was more pleas- ing because Rindge was branded as unbeatable, but even more so because it was flavored with sweet revenge for last Thanksgiving Day. We wish Captain Robertson and the team a suc- cessful season. Don’t forget to support the hockey team at the Arena. True it is that pleasure is marked by tleetness. therefore enjoy each sport in its season, for the school year is beginning to wane, the last for some. Our support will help insure success.

TTa CHARLES BAKER, ’17« 114 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Illative IDress ant Customs in tbe Hslant� ot Sumatra By? IDay? Chapman, T5 IMATRA is a Dutch colony anion? the I 'a t Indies. The natives are called Malays, and are of the Mahom- 1 0 edan religion. They are a fierce, copper-colored race, with straight, black hair and very regular features. Their customs are strange, their dress picturesque and inclined to be scanty. The costume of the native women consists of a gorgeous hand-painted petticoat called a “Sarong.” reaching to the calf of the leg. The paintings are of birds, beasts, serpents and flow- ers. done with hot wax of various colors, blown through a quill upon home-spun linen. A favorite place for their work is upon the banks of river-� and canals, which are very numerous in Sumatra. With this petticoat they wear a short em- broidered coat called a ' kabia.” It is very simi- lar to our dressing-sacque. only cut entirely in one piece. On these they do some of the most beau- tiful drawn-work in the world, depicting native scenes, such as those in the market-place, cock- fights. and fishing. At the bottom of the coat there i sometimes depicted a woman squatting down with her wares turned out upon a native mat of grass; continuing up the side, a man with chick- en'. or driving a herd of goats (beri-beri). On the other side may be a man driving in a native ponv cart on his way to a cock-fight; or two men. each with a rooster under his arm ready to begin the favorite sport. On the cuffs one might see a fish- erman sitting out on a “catamaran” during a storm. “catamaran” is a bamboo framework put on the weather side of the “sanpan” (boat), where the men sit out over the water to balance the beat. The mothers have besides, a long scari called a slingoc.” which they twist about themselves. 0 as to hold their babies and have both hands free. Their hair is dressed on the top of the head with a great deal of cocoanut oil and many ornaments made of tortoise-shell and silver filigree. The men wear the same costume, but also twist their long hair up and cover it with a turban. The feet of both are bare. The half-casts, however. wear heelless, velvet slippers, heavily embroidered with gold and silver thread. The children, from about three to six, wear a short jacket only: the younger ones, a string of amber or coral, with gold beads. Among their many strange customs is that of the watch-drum. There i a watch-house at the out-posts of every village, and in this the watchman sits. If there should be a fire he beats the drum once; if a rob- bery. twice, and if a murder, three times. Speak- ing of murders, public execution is still in vogue in Sumatra. On our way to the station we passed by a murderer hanging from a tree in the public com- mon. He was hung for disembowling a man, who shook some rain drops out of a tree under which they were standing, upon him. There the trains run only in the daytime. As soon a- it gets dusk, the driver falls asleep, and the train stops no matter where it happens to be. Therefore the unfortunate traveler must always carry a basket of provisions in case the train stops between stations. The way the natives wash clothes is very inter- esting : if they happen to belong to someone else—extremely annoying. A native washerman, a “manatoe,” collects the clothes, and with his family goes down to the river. There, standing up to their waists in water, they wet the clothes thor Highly: then laying them on a stone, take an- other and beat them clean. If there is anything left, it i beautifully white. They live largely on rice and keep the water, which they call “conji water. to starch the clothes with. The native butcher is a rather interesting, though discouraging sight to the housewife. To- begin with he is not too clean, nor the thing in which he carries his wares. It looks like an ash- sifter with a cover There is no mutton and the beef looks like cat meat. The pieces, varying from the size of a hen's egg to one's clenched fist, are dug out of any part of the cow. by an instrument like a child’s tin shovel, and strung on a piece of stick. To make up five pounds one would probably have seven or eight unsightly lumps threaded on a sliver of bamboo. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i 5 The cows out there arc hideous looking crea- tures with a lump on their backs, and a goitre tinder their chin. As they are constantly worked they give very little and very poor milk, so cream and therefore butter is unknown except by im- portation. The milkman after milking the cow builds a small fireplace of stones, scalds and seals up in bottles the milk. He then gives it to a native boy to deliver to his customers. If the boy should be seized by sudden thirst, he thinks nothing of opening a bottle, drinking half and filling it up in a drain. These, by the way. arc open throughout the country, running up and down both sides of the 'treet, and even through the private gardens of the best residences. The gardens are full of the most beautiful trop- ical foliage and brilliantly colored flowers, which are very pleasing to the eye, but have no perfume. Milting among the branches of the trees arc birds of the most gorgeous plumage, but they utter only harsh, discordant cries, for there arc no song birds in Sumatra. H fllbisunberstanfcmg Efcitb ill. Xeacb, ’14 OU may take that ring and do not at- tempt to offer any explanations, as I will not listen.” Thus speaking, the angry, impetuous girl threw the beautiful ring at the feet of her admirer. Warren Stanford stood in the library facing the haughty Evelyn Livingstone, who with lier fluffy blonde hair disarranged and her pretty cheeks a flaming red, looked extremely angry. Mr. Stanford appeared decidedly be- wildered. “Why, Evelyn, what is the matter? What have I done that you should shun me?” “Mr. Stanford. I do not need to explain. You are aware that your love for me. as you term it. is nothing but deceit.—a falsehood,” was the impul- sive. heated response. “You may leave my presence now and do not ever enter this house again. Of course you under- stand that there must be absolutely no signs of friendship between us,” continued Miss Living- stone. Stanford was now angry, as his cool passion was rapidly rising to o red-hot heat. “Well, Evelyn. I must say that you arc behaving in a very child- ish manner and what can be the cause of it is more than I can tell. However, since you wish an end to our friendship you may be sure I will never bother you again.” With these few words their friendship was severed and the young athlete made a speedy de- parture. Warren had scarcely departed when Mrs. Liv- ingstone entered the library. Noticing Evelyn’s excitement and evident distress, she naturally de- sired to learn the cause. Her daughter, who was not a secretive girl, readily divulged her informa- tion as follows:— The previous afternoon, accompanied by a former classmate she had gone to the South Station to await Miss Sargent’s mother and sister. As the half-past five train from Bradford slowed into the mighty station, an extremely beautiful girl of about twenty summers alighted. At that instant an athletic looking young fellow hurriedly dashed towards the train, heartily kissed the young lady, and arms linked, the two, eagerly talking, sauntered away. Evelyn at first thought she must have been mistaken, but no—her surmise was correct—he was Warren Stanford. Her mother, possessing a milder disposition, lis- tened patiently and then remarked: “Evelyn, dear, 1 fear you will regret this step which you have chosen today. You know how impulsive you arc. and f am sure that you have not heard the slight- est explanation.” I don't care.” stubbornly replied the girl. “I told Warren to discontinue paying any signs of friendship and I mean it. too.” Mrs. Livingstone, feeling that argument would not better conditions, silently left the apartment. Evelyn ascended the spacious stairway to her boudoir, where she retired, not to sleep but to lie restlessly tossing about. For a fortnight the separated lovers avoided each other. Stanford remained at home evenings, instead of attending gay functions as formerly, solclv for the reason that she might be there. lie could not bear to meet her as the sight of her sunny face produced pangs of regret. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 116 Evelyn avoided balls and receptions because (al- though she would not yet acknowledge it) she had already begun to repent Warren’s hasty dismis- sal. However, such affairs were not to continue thus, as the following day Miss Livingstone and Stan- ford nearly collided on Boylston street. Evelyn furtively scanned Warren and noticed that he looked weary and somewhat older. He smiled and was in the act of raising his hat when the lady coolly turned away not deigning to notice his courtesy. In the solitude of his cozy den several hours later, Warren pondered over various circum- stances. It is strange.’ murmured he. that the more Evelyn insults me, the better I love her. This afternoon when we accidentally met, she did not know that I saw her quick, pleased glance. I think she feel slightly regretful of her actions.’’ The following morning he resolved to send her a brief letter, asking if lie might see her and hear her explanations. In this act lie was revealing his constant love as by nature he was very obstinate and determined. He waited but a few hours when the response— the beloved missive—arrived. He eagerly tore it open but ah! that note was so brief. It was to the effect that evidently (as Eveiyn wrote) Mr. Stan- ford doubted her sincerity. She wished never to see him again. This brief, but cuttingly sarcastic note annihilated his hopes. Warren immediately became lost in a “brown study” which produced the desired result. Two weeks later Evelyn Livingstone, recogniz- ing a familiar name in the society column of a Bos- ton journal, was aghast to learn that Stanford had enlisted as a private at Fort Slocum and was now- traveling to San Francisco to sail directly for the Philippine?. His term of service was to continue for three years. Instantlv the girl’s dormant love for the man returned. What would she not have given to re- call her cruel letter and beg him to return to her? Aias! she realized that it was now too late. She could do nothing—absolutely nothing—but think of the terrible dangers and maladies that beset the soldiers in the dreadful islands. Affairs continued in this deplorable way for nearly a year. Then Evelyn was startled to hear that Warren was seriously ill, if not dying, of a malignant fever. The poor girl was very grieved, but she resolved to act immediately. Accordingly, the following day the ruddy sun rose and smiled benignly upon Evelyn and her maid traveling in a “special ex- press” scheduled to reach San Francisco at an early date. A few weeks later Evelyn, drearily accompanied by her maid, was visiting all the hospitals in Manila. Her search seemed fruitless until she slowly walked towards the last cot. There lay her lover, so strangely altered and yet so familiar. She kissed him lightly upon his feverish brow,, and he awoke, gazing at her (as if in a dream), then faintly calling her. I could not bear to think that I was killing you here in the Philippines, so I came as soon as I heard of your illness,” sobbed Evelyn in her hu- mility. If you think you can bear it, I will tell you the cause of all the trouble between us. Oh, Warren! perhaps it wasn’t you after all,” she in- coherently cried. Warren, amazed, listened and soon relieved her anxiety. Why. dear, is that what has been troub- ling you all these months? That pretty girl whom I met at the train was my cousin Bertha, who was- going to visit my aunt.” It was a penitent but exceedingly happy girl who left the ward an hour later. The doctor upon examination of his patient in- formed the young man that he would surely re- cover. Xor was that the only good news that day, for the general visited the voung soldier and gave him an honorable discharge. Consequently as soon as Warren was sufficiently able to bear the long journey, he and.Evelyn sailed for their native shore, where they lived (according to the various fairv taics) happily ever after. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 117 Scalloos J5y E orts ‘Underbill Visitors-on ( -ape Cod enjoying the popular en- tertainment, scalloping usually ask many ques- tions about the scallop. The following facts may be of interest to others than the summer tourists. The Pilgrim” scallop was lirst prominent early in history and wears a halo of romantic and his- toric interest. No other species enjoys such dis- tinction. Its renown has a very commonplace be- ginning. Scallops arc abundant on the coasts of Palestine. A member of the First Crusade start- ing home one day picked up a pretty scallop shell and stuck it in his hat. thus setting the fashion. Whoever wore this badge was recognized through- out Christendom as a Crusader, that is. he had been to the Holy Land. The orders of knighthood growing out of the Holy Wars used the St. James’ scallop” in their ensign. Proud old fam- ilies used the same symbol on their family seals to commemorate the deeds done by their ances- tors. Until the Age of Chivalry is forgotten the scallop will be remembered as its emblem. The graceful lines of the scallop have always appealed strongly to the artistic sense of various people. It has an envied place with the acanthus leaf which decorates the capitals of the Corinthian columns. To sec hundreds of baby scallops flitting about in the shallows convinces one that even they can express as much joy as a group of boys bound for the old swimmiiP pool.” The younger scallops are able to send out threads to attach themselves to seaweed or some other thing, but the older scallops do not change much from place to place. The scallops snap their shell lips together with a series of clicking sounds, at each contraction darting the body forward, sometimes a yard or more. Changes in direction arc made with great dexterity at the end of a stroke, and the zigzag course makes it easy for the scallop to escape capture. One way in which to catch a deep-sea scallop is to troll with a fisldine. without hook or bait, over the ground they inhabit, and the first scallop whose tentacles are tickled, snaps his lips on it and can be pulled up. The scallop found in shallow water is the kind we get on the Cape. For successful scalloping there, choose a day when there is a low tide and also when there is very little wind; because the scallops when frightened, stir up a cloud of mud to protect themselves, making it doubly hard to find them if the water is not smooth. Then don bathing suits and row over the bay to the flats, each one carrying a large basket. After wading across the flats to the seaweed, it is easy to pick up the scallops, for they float near the surface, or else lie somewhat hidden by the grass. Of course to get the nicest. largest and tenderest scallops is much harder, for these are found in the deepest water. There are times when it is necessary al- most t dive for every scallop that lies in one of these holes. It is, accordingly, most exasperat- ing to find, when one comes up for breath, that a large number of scallops in the basket are mcirilv swimming out of it. and away from reach, 'flic people who are scalloping for the first time for- get that scallops pinch, and are often surprised in tins way. but though this is not at all dangerous, it is still ciuite painful and not soon forgotten. The experienced scalloper docs not mind this at all. but there is still another thing connected with scalloping which is always disagreeable. One at any minute is liable to pick up or step upon a hideous spider-crab, jelly fish or equally obnoxious sea animal, for they arc very plentiful on the flats. When the baskets are filled, the real work be- gins. for all the scallops must be shucked. The single muscle which opens and closes the shell is the only edible part, so each scallop must be opened, tiie waste cut away, and the muscle cleaned. This part is sometimes quite tedious, but the labor is forgotten in the enjoyment of a hot, delicious dinner of scallops. 118 SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR IRabbtt's Success Xeslte TKfliUarfc, ’14 ABUIT stood in the doorway of his dormitory with his hands thrust deep in his pockets. He was review- ing in his mind the failures he had made in all his attempts at athletic fame. He had tried almost every- thing and had failed. He was not heavy enough for football, the science of baseball confused him when in a tight place, and lie had never used skates until he came to Springvalc, therefore hockey was impossible. While glancing gloomily about. Rabbit per- ceived a notice on the bulletin board. Moodily but with curiosity slightly aroused, he strolled over and read it. Acton Preparatory School chal- lenges Springvalc Academy to a cross-country run, the course and rules to be decided by a member from each school, and Mr. Griswold, a graduate of Springvalc Academy, who will pre- sent the winning school with a silver Clip.” A faint hope arose in Rabbit’s breast. He had not tried running yet. He walked up to his room and that night dreamed of winning the race and of receiving a crimson sweater with a big white S.” 'The name given Rabbit by his parents was Harry Edward Graham, but the boys of Springvalc soon nicknamed him “Rabbit because of his small size and general quickness. Rabbit’s father was a retired banker with ample means, and Rabbit was well supplied with money. Hut Rabbit's liberality was not the cause of his popu- larity so much as his friendliness and happy dis- position. With all his means, friends, money, and good fellowship. Rabbit could not become an athlete. The morning after his dream. Rabbit reported to Speed Jones, the track-team captain, as a can- didate for the cross-country run. Rut Captain Jones treated his words as a joke. Calling the attention of some of the track team, who were present, lie said: “Say. fellows, sec who is out for tlie cross-country run with Acton. May I inquire, Sir Rabbit, why your attention is di- rected at us?” If Speed had known how his sar- castic words hurt the smiling little man before him. he would never have spoken them. For “Speed” ami Rabbit bad been friends since they were freshmen together, but Rabbit” brightly smiling did not appear hurt and pleaded with his friend to give him a chance. Rabbit, you know that I would gladly give you a trial if there was one chance in a thousand that you would become a runner, but your legs are too short and your chest is bat. Why don't you run for manager of the football or baseball team? You would get your ' S. and with all your friends voting for you. it can be done without difficulty.” Rabbit did not answer, but went to his rooms and sat with Ins head in his hands while sad, gloomy thoughts Hashed before him. He did not want to win his letter by a position like that of manager, but by winning some honor and glory for his alma mater. By jove. 1 have it. he exclaimed at last, and jumping up he put on a running suit, then going in the opposite direction from that taken by the track team, he started his training. From the first he surprised himself, for lie was able to run quite swiftly, and his wind held out finely. He found that his running during the summer, when he played many boyish games, such as “fox and hounds. at camp, helped him wonderfully and lie thought cheerfully of the time when lie could show his big friend “Speedy” that a short-legged, flat-chested fellow could run. At last the day arrived for the tryouts. “Rab- bit” approached Speed just as he was about to start. Say. Speedy, I am going to run with you today and show von what a no-account can do when running with t lie track team captain.” hat! Arc you still dreaming that you cm run?” Wait and see.” There bad been a large crowd of boys practic- ing for thH event and about fiftv of them started in the trial run. The first five boys reaching the steps of the dormitorv were to represent Spring- vale against Acton. When the runners reached the postofficc in Webster and started back for the school, there were only about twenty boys still running. Captain Jones was leading, at his heels ran Rabbit, arms and head up. breathing easily as though he had plenty of wind left. It was evident that Speed was surprised at his form but ex- pected him to drop out soon. The other boys were stretched out for a quarter of a mile. They neared SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 the school and Captain Jones was beginning ;o breathe hard, hut still at his heels was “Rabbit, running lightly and apparently without difficulty in breathing. “Speed” began to be troubled; he knew that if he was defeated by Rabbit, whom he had rejected as a candidate, the whole student body would ridi- cule him. So running his best he approached the steps of the dormitory, but with a spurt which showed that he had plenty oi wind left, “Rabbit” dashed to the steps a winner by ten yards. “Rabbit” was made much of by his schoolmates, and “Speed” was often joked about his judgment in picking a runner, but “Speed” and Rabbit after shaking hands were better friends than ever before, and by their work together they defeated Acton.

The crisis l',c uar between the United States and Spain was near at hand, and J standing in that harbor were some of the largest and most powerful bat- tleships of which the Spanish and American navies could boast. Outlined against the city itself lay the majestic Alfonso XII, while on the opposite side of the harbor, in the shadow of .M rro Castle, awaited the battleship Cincinnati. Near the entrance to the harbor stood the flagship, from which commands were being issued to the officer of a submarine. The signal was given, the submarine turned in the direction of the Cincinnati, then disappeared from view. Ploughing its way through the water it reached its destination none too soon, for the mine which had been set for the destruction of the battleship was ready for the pressure of the wire which would light the fuse. After disconnecting the wire and rendering the mine useless, the sub- marine started on a further search for mines of which secret information had been given. Suddenly a grating sound was heard, followed by a tremendous shiver, and the submarine came to a standstill. Investigation showed that the en- gine had been wrecked beyond the possibilitv of re- pair. so the men turned toward the conning tower for safety. In the tower were two hatches fur- nishing means of escape, the only drawback being that someone must remain behind to operate them, thus sacrificing his own life to save the others. The men nearest the hatches escaped, two alone remaining. Surely it was the irony of fate that these two men,, rivals for the hand of Betty Monroe, the admiral’s daughter, should be facing each other in this fearful crisis. I let tv. merrv-hcarted and care- free. had regarded them only as the best of com- rades. Jack Simmons she had known ever since she left boarding school and thought lie played tennis splendidly. Bob I taker, a favorite of her father's, she had met only recently and considered him a pleasant friend although a trifle serious. Neither of them, however, had had opportunity to prove bis personal worth in a way to call forth any deeper feeling from Betty than friendship. As the two men stood with drawn, haggard faces, the seconds scented hours. In that brief space of time the soul of each was bared to the other. The one saw a cringing coward, wholly unmanned by the fear that possessed him. The other saw a hero, fearless and undaunted in the face of the fate he had meant from the first to choose. I he death-like stillness was broken by a despair- ing groan from Simmons, lie showed so much of terror that Baker could not help pitying him. “Simmons, come, you had better go now. There is not much time, hurry!” Simmons, surprised at the other’s words, said: “You mean that? You mean you’ll let me out? Baker replied: “Yes, Jack. I mean it. Life looks very dear to me n w. but dearer to me than life itself is my honor and my duty. Without further hesitation he opened the hatch and let his mate escape. In that crucial moment he felt sorry for his companion’s cow- ardice. and found himself wishing that he might have seen Betty once more. It was terrible to die like this when he had hoped to have made a name for himself and to have done something worth while in the service of his country. Suddenly he roused himself from his despair. Was he playing the part of a man to give up so easily? He could at least make a fight for life. Looking about, an idea came to him and he deter- mined to try an experiment. He flooded the sub- marine and as there were air-tight compartments 120 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the water pushed the air into these, allowing breathing space where the water could not go. When the submarine was as full as possible, to his great joy the pressure of water proved sufficient to open the hatch, enabling him to float through this into the bay. He was picked up bv a small boat and was taken immediately to the flagship. He was ushered into the presence of the admiral, who had learned of the part he had played in saving the others, but had given him up for dead. Ignoring the subject of his own heroism. Baker told with humiliation of the partial failure of his mission. With deep emo- tion the admiral interrupted him, saying: “Speak not of failure. We have already learned of your self-sacrifice, and surely there is no element of failure in an achievement like yours. On the con- trary, you have won the greatest victory possible in human experience, 'for he that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh a city Your country will see that you have fitting re- ward for your heroism; while your admiral is honored in that he may call you friend ’ A few weeks later when the admiral made a brief visit to his home, he was accompanied by Robert Baker, the accepted suitor for his daugh- ter’' hand Betty received him graciously and with all the ardor of a hero-worshiper. Later, when he declared his love she accepted with joy the honor offered to her and together they went in search of the admiral for his blessing. TIbe Iking of Jrmts, tbe Bpple fiDiss Bcsste %. jforbes What is more common yet more tempting than a genuine Xew England apple! What sense does it not please, the sight, the smell, the touch, the taste? Yes, all of these; and what article of food can be served more frequently in a greater variety of ways? For breakfast, in the lunch basket, at dinner, at tea; full of sugar, acids and aromatics, very nutritious, and certainly delicious whether eaten raw or skilfully cooked. Emerson has spoken of the apple as the social fruit of Xew England. In rural gatherings apples and cider were often the accompaniments to a merry evening. The house of the present day and the steam-heated apartment prevent us from that pleasant feeling which comes from having a store of apples in our cellar, but here the telephone steps in. and we arc still able to indulge very often and prepare the various delicious dishes which arc here suggested by a true apple lover. FOR BREAKFAST. Sweet apples are perhaps the most nourishing and when baked are most appetizing for breakfast. Baked Apples.-—Fare and core the apples, put into a pan. fill the centres with white sugar. Put in water enough to just cover the bottom of the pan. Bake until soft (according to the apple). Fried Apples.—The winter Baldwin is unsur- passed for cooking in this way. Cut the apples, without paring, into thick slices. Cover on both sides with flour and fry in spider in pork fat. These are very nice served with breakfast bacon, and can be fried in the bacon fat. FOR DINNER. It seems safe to say that every New England cook must have made an apple pie. How many of them have made an “Up-side-down” apple pie. It is surely a surprise and is well worth trying. “Variety is the spice of life ’ Up-Side-Down Apple Fie.—Line a pie plate with apples which have been pared, quartered and sliced, sprinkle with sugar, cover with plain pastry, and bake as the ordinary apple pie. When baked, turn it over onto a larger plate, cover centre with whipped cream. Escalloped Apple.— Fare, cut in quarters and slice apples. Fut a layer on bottom of baking dish, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and cracker crumbs, dot with small pieces of butter. Repeat until dish is filled, having a layer of crumbs on top. If the apples are not juicy add one-quarter cup cold water. Bake about one hour, according to the kind of apple used. Serve hot with cream. FOR TEA OR LUNCHEON. Apple Canapes.— Prepare in the chafing dish. Fare apples and cut into halves: remove cores, making a cavity in the centre. Saute in butter in the covered pan of the chafing dish. When half done, turn apples over and fill cavities with sugar. Cook until apples are soft. Serve with cream. Jellied Apples.-—Bake apples which have been pared and cooked. Cool, and place each carefully in a cup. Fill the cup with lemon jelly. For the jelly: Soak 1 tablespoon granulated gelatine in one-half cup cold water for five minutes. Then add the juice of two lemons, one-half cup sugar and two cups boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Strain through fine strainer. As jelly begins to stiffen pour over apples in the cups. This recipe makes enough jelly for six apples. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I 2 I EDITORIAL'S On account of the widespread discussion about the new” dances, Mr. Avery lias advised that the annual Junior and Senior dances be discontinued this year, and some other social function be sub- stituted. Among the suggestions were a banquet or theatre party. Why isn’t this a good sugges- tion? In this way a strictly class affair could be had, while in former years a large number of out- siders have been present at what should be strictly a school function. 9 9 9 Debating again comes into the foreground. The teams for the triangular debate with Newton and Rrookline have been selected, and arc now preparing to “come back with a vengeance. 9 9, 9. 9 Members of the faculty who were connected with the English school learn with sincere regret of the death of Mr. Sellon, for a time the efficient school janitor, and for several years in charge of the school lunch room. Mr. Sellon was a man of sterling integrity, ever faithful to duty and courteous and genial to all. He is remembered with great respect and affection by all who knew him. 9, 9 R K The students in Mr. Murray’s classes, and in- deed throughout the school, learn with sincere regret that leave of absence is again the doctor’s order for him. An inspiring teacher and an effi- cient school official is missed when Mr. Murray is away. Here is hoping restored health and a speedy return to him. 9 9 9 9 The Radiator welcomes the advance guard of the class of 1018. Freshmen, you arc entering upon the most important and most enjoyable per- iod of school life. Remember the old adage. A good beginning makes a good ending,” and your high school days will always be remembered. 9 9, 9„ 9 The Seniors have greatly enjoyed the opera talks given by Mr. Hubbard, and look forward with pleasure to the next. 9999 I'he hockey season is waning. This winter sport depends solely upon the weather conditions, and because there has been practically no out- side skating this year, the hockey team, after a few brilliant victories, has slumped badly for lack of practice. Although it has lost a majority of its league games, the team has played with a spirit that has made the games interesting up to the last moment. 122 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR School Hlews Senior ©lass flDeetlno On February V, after the school session, the Senior class came together in the hall in good numbers for the purpose of selecting the Class photographer and for nominating candidates for the usual Class committee. In the first place President Scanlon made a statement of the prices offered by the competing firms. A motion was then made and carried which impowered the Class officers to sign a contract with Purdy t do our work. President Scanlon then asked Mr. Avery to sav a few words concerning the nature of the Class entertainment. Mr. Avery explained the inadvisability of a class dance and suggested that we side-step'’ the issue and present an even- ing's entertainment of different character. I lie meeting was then thrown open to nomina- tions for the committee which should consist of the class officers together with three girls and three boys. A lively time followed and twenty- five nominations were secured. A motion to adjourn was then carried and the first of a series of Senior Class events was com- pleted. The following committee was selected to co- operate with Class officers by a vote on Monday, February !): Elizabeth Talbot. Dorothy Cook, Mary Holmes. Sumner K. Wiley. James Robert- son. and Clinton Carvcll. ■——-------------------- 3untor dlass flnccting On January VO, a class meeting was held in the hall after the school session, the matter of holding a Junior dance was discussed; suggestions, pro- posing a social or a dramatic entertainment in- stead of a dance, were offered. It was decided that a committee should be ap- pointed to propose and carry out sonic plan favor- able to the class in general. ()n February time was taken from the Ethics period and nominations were in order. Those to serve on the committee:— President, Clayton Ellis. Vice-President. Everett Dotcn. Secretary. Martha Aldrich. Treasurer, Rav Xichols.

The completion of the new hall has made possible these Instructive talks, and the hearty applause that greeted Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Baxter, his as- sistant at the pianoforte, at the conclusion of the first two of the scries of meetings, showed how popular they are destined to be. 'The first lecture was on the famous opera Tales of Hoffmann.” and the second of the series on the opera Madame Butterfly,” and it is quite safe to say that at no time in either of these talks did Mr. Hubbard have any difficulty in holding the undi- vided attention of his school audience. Mr. Hubbard's aim in the reading of these op- eras is largely to emphasize the dramatic talent rather than the musical features of the opera it- self. Then, again, he hopes that in Somerville, and in fact, in all cities where the pupils have the benefit of such talks, the love of opera will be awakened in the hearts of every auditor. With the assistance of Mr. Baxter, sketches of some of the leading musical airs of the respective operas arc given, and the pupils, in many cases, find that they are unconsciously familiar with several selec- tions of grand opera. Mr. Hubbard’s dramatic impersonations of some of the more important characters are also most appealing to the student body, and in his fascinating way he almost seems to bring his little group of opera stars with him and as he talks, alluding first to one and then to another of these dramatic men and women, ore almost sees the figure acting his part before him. The Seniors await Mr. Hubbard’s return, next introducing the beautiful Hansel and Gretel.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ,23 Senior lbtetov vs. S. lb. S. E)cbat ino Society On January 1 , three representatives of the Senior Civics classes met the Somerville high school debating society as a result of a challenge issued by Mr. Hatch in behalf of tiie Civics pupils. 'I'he subject was: “Resolved, that the Interests of tile I’nited States Demand the Abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine as a National Policy.” The affirmative was upheld by the debating society, its representatives being Elmer K. Pilsbury. ' 1 r ; H. Rooney, J4; and Russell Nason, T l. while the negative was defended by Miss Elizibo.th Laurie, ’14; L. Dohanian, ’14: and Frank Lincoln, ‘14. of the Senior history classes. Interest was very keen and a large audience gathered to hear the argu- ment. which was very well delivered. The judges. Miss A. M. Merrill. Miss Elizabeth Hunt, and Miss Harriett E. Tuell, decided in favor of the af- firmative. Rebuttal was taken by Miss Laurie for the negative and Russell Nason for the affirma- tive. The trials for debate with P.rookline and Newton Triangular League, and for an independent de- bate with Cambridge, were held Wednesday after- noon. February 4. 1914, in the high school. The debaters for the Triangular League were selected as follows: E. Pilsbury. To; J. Scanlon, ’ll: C. Carvell, ‘11: D. Smith. To; George Tooniey. To; and Harold Rogers, ’ll. The debaters for the independent debate with Cambridge high school were selected as follows: Tom Scanlon, T 7 ; J. Smith, T( . 'Flic Cambridge debate will be held sometime during the next month. The judges of the trials were Miss A. Marian Merrill, chairman. Miss Hunt, Miss Sprague. Mr. Scars, Mr. Hatch. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Chapman and Miss Tecle. Whereas, in inscrutable wisdom, Divine Providence has removed from our midst our be- loved brother and fellow member. Abbott L. Knowles, and Whereas, the Somerville High School Debat- ing Club is deeply bereaved in the death of Mr. Knowles, therefore be it Resolved, that a faithful member and efficient officer of the club has been taken from us, one whose courteous bearing was ever our worthy ex- ample. and his unfailing interest in debate, an in- spiration to us. and Resolved, that we express our deep sympathy to the parents of Mr. Knowles, in whose bereave- ment we also share, and in whose loss we mourn,, and Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of Mr. Knowles, be published in the ensuing number of the Radiatoh, and be embodied in the records of the Somerville High School Debating Club.

Among the high schools of which it is now composed arc Somerville. Cambridge, Rindgc Manual Training School. Arlington. Win- chester, Everett. Medford, Chelsea. Newton, Brookline, Boston English. Boston Commercial. Girls’ Latin, the Boston Lowell School, and there are still a few schools which undoubtedly will join. Believing in the great possibilities of such an orchestra, a member of the Somerville High School has been working, for some months, with this end in view and has now reached a basis upon which a committee can work. There are many advantages, not onlv from the musical, but also from the social and business standpoints; then, too, for the first time, all the high schools would be brought into a close rela- tion with one another; and. finally, the splendid opportunity of giving a grand concert in some large hall, assisted by one or two well known artists. From now on, the affairs will be in charge of a committee selected from the representatives of the different schools, rather than in the hands of a single person. All members of the Somerville High School should be specially interested in this, since its originator is a Somerville High School pupil, and therefore earnest co-operation is desired. This movement is strongly recommended bv Superintendent Charles S. Clark. Mr. Avery. A. L. Rafter, assistant superintendent of Boston schools: James M. McLaughlin, director of music of Boston schools. Through the aid f F. E. Mason, of the Boston High School of Com- merce. a hall has been secured for the rehearsals. 124 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1914 Class Editor. Walter I‘ . Wiley. Assistants, Philip P� .

The spirit of 1915 can again be complimented, for there were more Juniors trying for positions on the Triangular Debating Team and the team against Cambridge, than representatives of any other class. Of the nine places to be filled, five Juniors were appointed. They are Toomcy, Rogers. Pilsbury. Smith, D.. and Westland. Why not have a “Go-to-School Day,” when no one would be absent, and thus save much ink, paper and time used to print the list of absentees. Dotty Anderson is certainly in favor of a school tennis team and is backing it up with all his might. It would be a good thing for Dotty, as he would have to make up some of those red marks before he couid play. Toomcy. are you from New Yor-r-rk or are you only Fr-r-rcnch?

Many poems have been found, but the owners decline to have them published. Ben—n—t and Alleck have sweet voices which they show in singing and they ask what to do about it. We suggest that the best thing for them to do is to forget it and let their friends and the public do the same. Man—s n doesn’t seem to know that it’s against the rule to play hockey with his mouth. Miss Casey: “You can make a very good hat frame out of an old bird cage.

Cou—sins: “A man who builds stone houses, etc.” Senior: Was he a tall man?” Bright Freshman: Xot-a-tall man.” A reason was discovered why the Seniors do not wish the Freshmen to study in their class- rooms. Fault is found in the Seniors’ lack of at- tention. ignorance of their lessons, and their posi- tions when they do recite. Can we blame them, Freshmen?

St. Valentine's day, the postman left a small cart-load at my door. The envelopes seemed to be of uniform size, and I wondered what sort of jokes my friends had played on me. I opened them with curiosity. Each envelope contained a little red heart about three inches by four, and on each heart was pasted either a criticism of a paper or an excnange joke or poem. My mother endea- vored to look innocent, but in vain. I reproduce each criticism just as it looked to me—minus the heart. Westfield. Mass.. H. S.

SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR «33 Somerville, 0; Hrlington, 0 Boston Arena, January 0. Somerville and Arlington played to a scoreless tie in their first Interscholastic League contest of the season. The contest lacked the usual thrills and occasional bursts of speed shown at the start of the season. Somerville showed superior the tirst half. Downing making some excellent “car- ries” and close shots. In the second half the Red and Blue seven seemed to tire and the puck was kept within the two defences. As time shortened. Arlington’s attack grew spirited, several well-di- rected shots were made towards Somerville’s cage but Harry Robertson's skill crushed all their noble efforts and no score was the result. One over- time period was allowed without avail. The sum- mary:— SC) M E R T LLE. A R LI N GTO X. Bowen, l.w..............r.w., Donnelly. Spenser Clark, c............................c..

Much roughness was in evidence Intermingled with some skill and team-work. The game was about evenly played and was anybody’s up to the clang of the bell.

The game was by far the best and most evenly played match of the season among the school boys. The swift team work of Melrose at the start of the game was commendable. 'The only goal of the game came near the end of this half. Although Paisley must be given the credit for negotiating the only score nevertheless it was purely an accident, a Somer- ville man passing it to him by mistake as he stood directly in front of the goal. He was alert and won the game by a good shot. The second half of the Melrosc-Somerville match was from a Somerville standpoint the finest exhibition of hockey een this season. The fight- ing spirit of the team was aroused and in this period Downing showed some of the most excel- lent spurts down the rink which have been wit- nessed in a school game this winter. It is safe to say he would surely have scored could lie but have had more assistance from his mates, who were un- able to equal his pace. The contest was bitterly fought throughout owing to the fact that the winner would take the league leadership. The summary:— M EL ROSE. SOM ERVILLE.

Something was said recently to the effect that Somerville was no longer the Somerville of old and the spirit that formerly prevaded the school was no more. Personally we do not think this is so, but let us strive still harder each one to co- operate and do our share. A demonstration like that at the dedication of the new hall proves that we have the right calibre to work with. Frank Downing is about the fastest man who has chased a puck on the Arena this season, among the school boys. Somerville's defence in hockey this season lias been about the best of any of the Interscholastic teams. nMcbamic iRotes I Continued from pag � l;ti] Blue Owl. Attleboro.

UPROSING you were suddenly forced to give up the idea of going to col- lege, what occupation would you choose for your life's work, and why?” In answer to the above, there are two sorts of careers which suggest themselves to my mind—the one containing the element of per- sonal achievement, irrespective of financial gain, and the other carrying with it the element of pecuniary success to a fairly certain degree. The ideal profession would be one into which entered both these elements, and it is such a pro- fession that I have chosen for my life work; namely, the practice of Law. My plans, as they are at present laid out, en- able me to arrive at that goal after having com- pleted1 the courses in Harvard University and Law School; but should 1 be forced to abandon this particular plan, I should endeavor to become admitted to the bar by means of the courses of- fered in the evening Law Schools, supporting my- self during my preparatory period by playing the church organ and piano—in which 1 have a cer- tain degree of proficiency—and by availing myself of a general training in music, which I have had for the last seven years. Perhaps the chief reason for mv desiring to be- come a lawyer is an inherited taste for this pro- fessi. «11. there having been in my family, in two generations, six attorneys, and since I have been of sufficient age to think about a career, my de- sires and aims have always turned towards the Law. 'The very nature of the profession enters in no small degree into my plan of life:— lt standing in the community—evidenced by the exceedingly large percentage of lawyers who are t be found in the governmental halls, whether they be those of the municipality, the common- wealth, or the nation: the fact that members of this profession invariably are leaders in ail mat- ter. . tending to the betterment in civil, social, and economic problems; the fact that, among educa- tors and other learned men, the lawyer is held as an equal, since an education in the law comprises a liberal education along all other lines:— I he ethics of the profession—noticeably be- coming more firmly defined and more strongly fixed at a time when the tendencies swing the other way—cannot but appeal to the young man considering a choice of careers; its rules and maxims, written and unwritten, hold the conscien- tious observer to a very high standard of morals. The peculiar confidential relations existing be- tween attorney and client have a parallel only in the clergy, and the ratio of man’s success in this profession seems to be in direct proportion to the degree of care with which lie observes the rules, so-called, of professional ethics. The question of capital must be a most import- ant factor to be taken into consideration in the answering of the question which has been asked, and here again is a strong argument for my par- ticular choice. There arc few, if any, professions in which so little capital is required at tbe start, and, being able, by means of my musical training, to support myself comfortably during the time it will take to build up a paying practice, I consider that I am particularly well qualified to engage in this profession, should I be able to pass the bar ex- aminations. 'I he business which comes into the office of the average lawyer is of constantly varying nature and is, therefore, of such intense interest as to stimulate the mind of the attorney, who must continue to be a student during all his career in order to successfully handle all the different va- riety of problems which present themselves be- fore him. If he is to be successful, he must have the respect and confidence, not only of his fellow attorneys and the judges who hear his cases, but also the jurors before whom he appears, and. in order to gain that respect and confidence, must so conduct himself at all times as to be considered worthy of it. lie is called upon at a moment’s notice to decide questions involving not only large sums of money, but oftentimes the liberty and sometimes the life of his client. He must have, to a degree, an analytical mind combined with sound judgment and confidence. In no other profession does the abstract question of honesty enter, in as great a degree, as the Law; the prop- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 43 erty which conies into the hand of the attorney conies in such form, in many instances, that it might be converted to the personal use of the at- torney; and he, by the use of his particular skill and knowledge of the law, might successfully de- fend himself from any attempt to recover it. There is one phase of this profession which, upon first thought, might seem to be discouraging; I refer now to the well-known crowded conditions of the Law. It is commonly reported that there are numbers of attorneys today in Boston who are struggling to make the barest kind of a living, and, with this thought in mind, I have given seri- ous consideration to this as a business career, but see no reason, in spite of the above, for changing my plan. Personal observation has shown me that the result of hard work, honesty, sobriety, and painstaking endeavor, applied to any walk in life, invariably is Success. In a word, then, in the event of the occurrence set forth in the question at the head of this paper. I should choose to be a lawyer; because I should be able to support myself in the initial stage of the career: because it is the profession above all others to which I am inclined and in which, for reasons stated above, I consider that I can be helpful to others as well as to myself: in which it is possible to strive for high ideals, to earn a comfortable living, to work hard, and to be a good citizen. ♦ “(Larson—Sheriff of Cawlan Count?’’ By? Xeonarb H. IRice, T2 Leonard Kite graduated from Somerville High in I1U2, and for two years has been attending Wilbraham Academy. HE sun was setting behind the hills which overlooked the little village of Dusoe, and touching the prairies with a faint golden glow, when a rider, covered with dust, drew up his pant- ing horse before a little shack, on the edge of the town, labeled “The Palace. He hesitated for a moment before entering the saloon but finally with a sudden movement he threw back the door and entered. The usual crowd of roisterers were playing poker in the corner with much drunken shouting and laughter. The stranger stepped to the bar and ordered a drink. As he lifted the glass to his lips his eye was held by a poster at one side of the bar:— “Snap Robbins.” murderer, Wanted—dead or alive. $500 Reward. Carson, Sheriff, Caplan County. One of the men at the table was speaking and the stranger caught a phrase which brought a sud- den gleam to his eye. “I hear thet Carson is sure doin' some hustlin’ after ‘Snap.’ Must be some sheriff, that fellow. Ain’t never been in these parts that I know on. The stranger turned: Thanks for the compli- ment, my friend. Won't you drink with me? The man who had spoken jumped to his feet and stretched out his hand. “Carson?—glad to know ye. My name’s Snyder and I’m the new sheriff of this here county.” “Glad to know you, Snyder.—Heard any news of Robbins?” Not a word—nothin’ since he shot up young Fisher and his brother over San Diego way.” Wal. he’s due to be about opposite here right now with about $500 in gold from the Durgan ranch, and one of the fastest little cayuses in three counties.” What?—wal. I’ll be hanged! What's yer plan? Send half your men south and the other half cast. Go with the south bunch yourself, for you’re most likely to catch him that way. I’ll go north to Durgan’s and make a party to head him off if he turns back. T’m on.” Just a minute. I’ve been after him before and I know lie’s a hard rider and a dead shot. So ride hard and watch out.” Ten minutes later the stranger stood in the door of the saloon and heard the noise of the horses’ hoofs grow fainter and fainter until they were lost in the distance. 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Then lie turned back into the deserted room, for even the bartender had gone, and drew two automatics from his shirt and for three minutes the air was filled with smoke as he peppered the painted wall above the bar. Then with a laugh he strolled out of the saloon, straddled his horse and galloped west into the dusk of the prairie. The party galloping south came upon a solitary rider urging his horse hard in their direction. They hailed him and he drew up among them with a shout:— “You boys been in town?” “Sure.” “Seen anything of a six-footer, riding a calico cayuse, carrying two guns and an ugly mug?” Snyder rode up to the man. “Who might you be, my friend?” '‘I'm Carson, sheriff of Caplan county, and Tin after Snap’ Robbins and been after him all day. Almost had him tonight, and I believe lie’s in town. Here’s his picture—seen him?” itliout a word Snyder turned his horse with a jerk and galloped madly back in the direction of the village with the whole party, including the stranger, at his back. As they threw themselves into the door of the “Palace,” the first thing that caught their eyes was a roughly hewn sign of lead over the bar:— (Join’ West, “Snap.” ©itt Hlattonal Bsb Ibeatj ••H little tire is quickly troDben out, wbicb beinct suffered rivers cannot queneb.” Sbahcspcarc B.

HOLT ten years ago the United States government started to cut the water- way between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This, the greatest engineer- ing feat of all time, is now nearing completion. Jiy the time it is open to the public use it will have cost $375,000,000. 'I his is an enormous sum of money even for the United States to pay for one project, but when we consider the benefits to be derived from such a canal the price is small. Indeed, the les- sons, in community and general sanitation, learned during the work have been worth the total cost of construction. During the period of building the canal and for twenty years before there has been going on a needless waste of money and human life far in ex- cess of the amount before mentioned. It is the fire waste. Each year there is an average loss by fire of nearly two-thirds the cost of the canal, namely $£50.000,000. 'fhe total loss by fire during the building period aggregates $£.471,100.000. or more than six times the cost of the canal. During the year of 190G alone the fire loss exceeded the canal cost by $81,- 000,000. Our annual per capita fire loss in the United States is $£.50. We have five times the number of fires per thousand of population as the European countries. We put more in our national ash heap than Germany spends on her standing army, and an amount practically equal to our tariff revenue. These figures arc for actual losses; the value of material consumed, and from which there is noth- ing to be saved. It does not include the cost of fire department expenses; the thousands of small fires extinguished in factories or houses, and last, but not least, the value of the 1,500 human lives included yearly in the toll. The condition which allows such a w’aste of na- tional resources is one which needs national inter- est to change. Nearly every individual in the country pays his share of this appalling loss. When a fire occurs and a claim is settled, every one thinks: “The insurance company paid.” This is not so. It is the public who pays. Let us consider as an example a pair of shoes. In the process of manufacturing the shoes and va- rious findings incident to their production, there may be as many as fifteen different places where fire insurance is paid on these articles. Each one of the concerns handling these goods. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR MS from the tanner to the retailer, is bound to add his premiums to the cost of production before hand- ing them on to the next dealer. The result is that when the article is purchased the buyer is paying all of these premiums without being aware of it. It is this way that we pay in money for material which has been destroyed and can never be re- stored. When the insurance companies do not collect premiums enough to pay the losses, they fail. That this occurs is shown by the fact that four out of every five of the insurance companies which have operated in the United States have either failed or been obliged to retire from business. The examination of the above facts brings to mind three questions: First—Why is it so? Second—What is being done to prevent it? Third —What can WE do to prevent it? The answer to the first question may be given in two words: “Ignorance and carelessness.” Evidence of this is given by the fact that seventy- five per cent, of all the fires arc preventable if or- dinary care and intelligence had been used. The answer to the second must show what is being done to counteract the causes given in the first answer. Probably the most energetic move- ment in this direction is being carried on by the National Fire Protection Association. The func- tions oi the association may be shown by a quota- tion from one of their pamphlets: “One is to make standards under the guidance of which fire waste may be checked; the other is to educate the people in the observance of those standards and point out the grievous economic penalties for ignoring them.” The active members of the association are the national organizations of engineers, underwrit- ers bureaus, and insurance exchanges, which have combined to draw up standard specifications for the construction, erecting, fitting and occupancy of buildings in order to make them as nearly fire- proof as modern science will allow. Effort is also made to check carelessness by se- curing legislation conducive to the lessening the fire hazard by compelling conformation to the standards before mentioned. (()nc of these laws was recently passed in Somerville, which started the abolition of one of the worst fire spreaders known, the shingle roof. Under this law. no new roof may be constructed with any but fireproof covering, and any roof now shingled and requir- ing repairs to more than one-third of its area must be repaired with the fireproof covering.) The passage of laws is not sufficient. The re- cent St. Louis Club lire demonstrated this. The commissioner of fire prevention had been three years without success in the attempt to have the building brought up to the standards of his office. This leads to the second part of the work,—the education of the public, in which must be included the courts. Public education is carried on through the press, public speaking, and the distribution of literature on the subject. It would be unfair to leave this question without some description of the most wonderful little fire fighter and preventer in existence, namely, the automatic sprinkler. You may see these on the lines of pipe near the ceiling of any of the large department stores in Boston. The sprinkler heads are screwed to the pipes, carrying water at high pressure, about eight or ten feet apart. When a fire starts the heat rises to the ceiling and if the temperature rises to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, the head opens and sends a deluge of water on the floor below it for about eightv or one hundred square feet. It also rings an alarm to notify the watchman, and if so desired, may be connected to the municipal alarm service. The great asset of the automatic sprinkler is that it is on duty twenty-four hours a day, every day in the year, does n ot depend upon manual operation, and in case of fire delivers water to the heart of the trouble and at the same time calls for outside help. There are many answers to the third question, most of which may be given as a series of “Do’s and Don’ts :— Don't put ashes in wooden receptacles. Don't allow rubbish to accumulate in your cel- lars. closets or attics. Don't take a match, candle or lamp to look for a gas leak. Don't use any but “safety” or “approved” matches. Be careful where you put matches when through with them. Don’t use gasoline, benzine or naphtha in the house or anywhere near a flame. Learn the nearest fire alarm box and how to use it. Don't be careless about fires. “An ounce of pre- vention is worth a ton of cure.” I )on't be ignorant about common fire hazards.

OTHER was unused to the desert, so father, having arranged his business so he could leave it with big Ben, the foreman, decided to take a vaca- tion and all were going over to Palm Springs for a few days. Novv, Palm Springs is in California near the great mountain of San Jacinto and it took a day and a half to get there. It was great fun for Mary and Jack to get into a sleeping car and go speeding along over the desert again. They recognized many of their old friends on the way, most of whom they knew nothing about the last time they rode on a train. Then it grew dark and they could no longer see out of the window. The next morning after breakfast the conductor opened the door and called out. Palm Springs ’ They hurriedly gathered together their bags and suitcases and left the train. My. but wasn’t it cold, and didn’t the wind blow! Folks could hardly stand straight and the wind was blowing right off the snow-capped moun- tains that were all round the place, making it seem colder still. Mary was hurried into the stage and before they had gone a mile their faces were covered with sand blowing off the desert and you could never have told that their clothes had ever been clean. Palm Springs itself was five miles from the sta- tion, but suddenly the wind stopped blowing and it was warm as summer, then pretty soon they heard dogs barking and rode right through an Indian village. Some of 1 he squaws were making baskets, but most of them were out in the fields working just like men. Imagine mamma doing work like that. It was interesting to sec them, though, especially tlie little papooses being carried in a little box fastened to the mother’s back. Just beyond was Palm Springs settlement it- self. with lots of tents, several houses, a store and a hotel. They stopped at the hotel, and after dinner looked around the funny little store where they sold a little of everything, while a phono- graph ground out wheezy music. They visited the funny little cottages with their roofs and sides all covered with big palm leaves instead of boards. Then they went up to the hot springs. There was a stream of water shooting up in the air part of the time but generally just bubbling up a little higher than the pond itself, which was about six feet wide and ten feet long. It didn’t look deep, but the man at the springs told them the centre shaft was sometimes as big as a well and no one knew how deep. Father had been there before and he wanted to take Mary into the spring, so with Jack they hired bathing suits and went down. It was very funny. They thought, of course, it was going to be deep, but the bottom was hard sand, and the water just covered their ankles. Father took Mary in first, blit the water did not become deeper, but all at once the sand gave way. Father said it was quicksand, which somewhat frightened her, but he didn’t seem scared, so she tried not to be. They went down and down into the sand, which seemed to tighten around them, when all at once, when Mary was in) to her shoulders, the spring gave a gurgle and tossed them out into shallow water. Marv was frightened, but the rest laughed at her, especially Jack, who was fourteen and thought he was al- most a man. lie said he could walk around in it all right—the old water could not toss him up like that. It was just bubbling over a little then, so lie marched boldly in. But when he felt the warm watery sand hugging him tighter and tighter and sucking him down, he thought surely he was lost and wished he had not bragged. But just then the spring gurgled louder and a high stream shot up and in it was Cousin Jack, who landed safe and sound beside them. I can tell you he was a happy boy. They soon became accustomed to the idea and spent an hour of fun wading in and being gently but firmly tossed out. Then they went back to Dr. Murray’s hotel, where mother met them at the door. After a supper of fresh eggs, nice biscuits, strawberries and cream, they retired to their tent and when all were in bed father rolled up the sides so they could look out at the stars and breathe SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 147 the fresh, warm air softly blown to them by gentle mountain breezes. Of all Mary’s pets she liked her road-runners best. Did you ever see a road-runner? It makes its home on the desert where you would find it im- possible to get food, yet this little bird finds plentv and leads a happy existence. He looks much like a pheasant with broad wings, a long, broad tail and a crest that stands up very stiff and straight. The tail is very flexible and many people who have lived on the desert a long time say they can al- most tell what the road-runner’s thoughts are bv the way he holds his tail. If you can make friends with the little bird and get near enough to it you can see the beautiful colors in its feather' coat. The olive green wings are edged with w ile, and the crest is of dark, deep blue. The bird is about twenty inches long, including the tail. A pair had built a nest in a clump of cactus a short distance from camp. The first time Mary espied them was the day after her arrival. One came up over a low ridge and stood looking at Marv with curiosity expressed in its long, flexible tail. This, of course, aroused Mary’s interest ami she hastened away to make friends. But it was not to be. Very quickly the bird retreated to its cactus patch. But it came again the next day and the next. At first Mary was afraid of frightening it away, but one day it came as she was eating a thick slice of bread and butter, and she tossed it some crumbs. As before, he scampered away to a safe distance, but there he stopped. Mary stepped back and waited and pretty soon the little fellow re- turned and rapidly ate up ail the crumbs. lie then gave a little toss of pis tail as if to ay thank you,” and went home. After this Mary and the little road-runner soon became fast friends, and late- Mary taught him that Cousin Jack was his friend, too. He soon learned that the big horn that the cook blew three times a day meant something to eat; and was al- ways on hand to get his share. He would always save a goodly part of this share and carry it home to his mate. Mary and Jack each had a burro and often they would take short rides to the nearbv camps, for Jack was a steady, reliable boy and Mary’s father knew he would take care to see that no harm came to her. The trail led by the road-runner’s nest and whenever he saw the little girl and the big hoy coming along on their burros he would dart out into the road and rush ahead at hill speed. He could always keep ahead, too. Try as they might, Mary and Jack were unable to get ahead of him. When lie grew weary of the sport lie would turn suddenly and hurry into the brush until they had passed. In some ways, though, lie was a nuisance. Mary’s uncle had sent them a box containing a dozen chickens so that tliev could have some fresh eggs as a change from the cold storage eggs commonly found in mining camps. Xow. the little road run- ner would often try to slip into the chicken ward when no one was looking. He would wait indif- ferently. promenading up and down in a dignified manner until one of the hens cackled i Ie knew this meant a f csli egg and he would deliberately march tip. peck a hole in the new laid egg and as deliberately swallow the contents. 148 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR H Aftobern IDelobic Oracle Bcuolas jflemmtng, ’13 V. Douglas Flemming graduated from Somerville High in 191:}, and is now a freshman at Dartmouth. Flemming was editor-in-chief of the Radiator during his Senior year. LICE, you know I love von; won’t you marry me?” “No, Kenneth, not until you have shown me some proof of your decla- rations regarding our reincarna- tion from the ancient Greeks. For tlie three years you have been calling on me, you have talked of practically nothing except psychol- ogy and reincarnation. I have become deeply interested in your theory, and I feel that, ii you should prove it. you would become one of the world’s greatest men. If we were married, you would not devote your entire time to your work. Go. Kenneth, go to Greece and search for the proof. If, when you return, you and 1 see each other through the same eyes—the eyes of lovers —I shall gladly answer ‘yes.’ ” Without further parley Kenneth rose, snatched a hurried kiss from her lips, and left—for Greece. No sooner had he gone than, woman-like. Alice regretted her sudden decision. After a few mo- ments’ reflection she reconciled herself by the fact that she and Kenneth were too young to be look- ing on life so seriously, and, any way. Kenneth couldn't support a wife. Kenneth Osgood was a senior at Harvard Uni- versity. He was a student. During his Freshman year his classmates had made a mistake, as they soon learned, by looking upon him as an unsociable book-worm. He was always more interested in books on psychology, philosophy, incarnation, and Greek histories than in social events. Shortly after his return to Cambridge for his second year he met Alice Gladstone. From that time he added the cultivation of Miss Gladstone's acquaintance to his duties. His classmates soon learned that he was never too interested in his books to call upon Alice. Their friendship had grown into love: but. try as he might, Kenneth could never free their conver- sation from his hobbies. Now, one week before graduation. Alice had bade him prove his theories before he should take her as his wife. Two days after graduation Kenneth sailed for Greece. He had decided that lie would begin as the early Greeks always did by asking the Pythian at Delphi for advice, and that after he had gone through this ceremony lie would fit for his work, which would consist of searching excavations, reading manu- scripts. and questioning different influential (irceks. After an uneventful voyage, most of which was spent i:i ruminating and reading on incarnation, Osgood arrived at Athens. At last lie had reached the land foremost in his thoughts! At last lie had entered the land in which he believed he had lived! For many weeks he wandered among the ruins of the Acropolis and in the old theatre of Dionysus. Kenneth would often picture himself as one of the spectators or one of the characters in this colossal theatre. He was content in this old world. Here he was in the place of his dreams. Letters from Alice were laid aside. In his new occupation he had almost forgotten her. In fact what was the love for a woman when he had found an occupa- tion which was in reality his existence, which was dearer to him than life? After roaming around Athens and the surround- ing country for a few weeks Osgood took the train for Delphi. W ithin a few hours lie was looking into the cavernous depths which were credited with the responses that were the rise and fall of so many nations. He gazed into the fathomless depths with reverence. Was his belief to be proved? Was he to learn that many prominent Americans were formerly illustrious Greeks? Prob- ably he would soon have the proofs that would win Alice for him. “Oh. Apollo, have the ancient Greeks been re- incarnated? Where can I obtain proofs?” Kenneth leaned far over the abyss and waited. Ah! did he hear a rustling—a slight murmur? He was all a-trcmblc. Could it be that his search was to be fruitful? The rustling became more and more distinct. Did he distinguish words? He leaned further and further over the abyss; louder and louder were the words. As the rustling grew more distinct, so did the vapor grow more dense. He was now completely surrounded by ill-smelling fumes. Still he leaned further and further over the mouth of the abyss. Suddenly lie heard voices from behind him. He turned quickly. Behold! There approached him (Continued on page 1C5.)

The at- tendance was extremely good, considering the dis- agreeable weather, and the result was most satis- factory. The goodly number of Somcrvillians who attended the debate at Brookline were greatly disappointed when the judges’ decision gave to Rrookhne a victory which was hardly deserved, neither on the merits of their arguments, nor on the manner of presentation by the debaters, them- selves. at r v Isn’t it about time one of our athletic activities started something in the way of obtaining a cham- pionship? As both football and hockey fell to the wayside after brilliant starts, it now falls upon the shoulders of the baseball team to win for Somer- ville at least one championship this year. The athletic association has been very fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr. Saunders, who has made an enviable reputation at Gloucester as coach ; and as many of last year’s veterans have re- turned. lie has a splendid nucleus to work from. Remember, you baseball players, we rely on you for the championship. I'lie athletic association has voted to help de- fray the expenses of a tennis team if one is formed this year. Tennis is one of the great summer pas- times, and as there arc many pupils, both boys and girls, who enjoy this game, why shouldn’t Somer- ville be represented in the Interscholastic meet, and play with teams representing other high schools? , V. V, 9i The Senior committee has seen best to abide by Mr. Avery’s suggestion, that the annual class affair be something other than a dance, and as a result, the class of 1914 will have a banquet, which will be strictly a class affair. Already some dis- satisfaction has been heard, but Seniors, think the matter over carefully, and be present. Set an ex- ample to the following classes. r, K 8 Seniors, your days in high school arc limited! In three short months, this institution will be your Alma Mater. From this time on, every minute is valuable, so valuable in fact that many of us arc forced to take extra examinations after school, and while these examinations may cause annoyance and extra work, we should not begrudge them, es- pecially those who are to take examinations in June, for practice in these preliminary examina- tions makes it easier to undergo the real test when the time comes. 15° SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR With our next vacation comes Mr. Poor’s annual tour. Mr. Poor, with his party, will leave Boston Friday, April :J. During the following week he will point out the points of interest in Newport News. Baltimore, Washington, and Philadelphia. The first two days will include a beautiful sea voyage. Sunday and Monday will be spent at Newport News and Baltimore. The party will remain in Washington four days, during which time all the public buildings and points of interest will be visited. An effort will be made t; meet President Wilson and representative men. Friday will be spent in Philadelphia, where they will see the Mint and Independence hall. All in all. it should prove one of the most pleasant as well as instructive tours which has even been offered to the pupils of the High School. School Mews Debating On the evening of March 0, at the same time that our men were vanquishing the braves here in Somerville, the battle was raging back and forth in the beautiful hall at Brookline High School. The programme opened with a selection by our orchestra, which was encored enthusiastically. After a few brief introductory remarks, the pre- siding officer, George H. Worthlcy, of Brookline, introduced the first speaker for the negative, our own Clinton Carvell. After a masterly presenta- tion of the plan of procedure and a few vital facts, the timekeepers’ bell rang and the first speaker of the affirmative began. Immediately the earnest, respectful, but commanding style of Carvcll’s pre- sentation contrasted itself with the bold, confident attitude of the Brookline speaker. These oppos- ing styles were apparent throughout the debate. Both Toomcy and Pilsbury built powerful argu- ments upon the foundation laid by Carvell and shed glory upon our school’s name for debating. When the last speaker for the affirmative had fin- ished and the Glee Club was called upon to enter- tain. many in the audience were undecided as to the comparative merits of the two teams. After an encore given to the Glee Club was fin- ished. the orchestra again furnished delightful mu- sic until the debaters were ready for the final strug- gle. In the rebuttal statistics and authorities quoted played an important part and many thought that Carvell surpassed Kramer. To relieve the tension before the judges’ de- cision was announced the Glee Club again sang. At once upon the announcement of the victor- ious team, a Brookline follower jumped to the front, and led in a rousing cheer for Brookline, followed by one for Somerville. However, their cheers were straightway drowned by a lusty S. H. S. cheer from the visiting Red and Blue followers led by the (dee Club. We had failed to uphold the fact that the Monroe Doctrine should be abandoned by the United States as a national policy, but we were by no means vanquished. ()n Friday evening. March (� , Somerville held its annual debate in the High School auditorium. The Newton team, upholding the affirmative, met the home team, arguing the negative. The question of the evening, a question which was be- ing debated at Newton and Brookline as well, was: “Resolved. That the Monroe Doctrine Should Be Abandoned by the United States as a National Policy.” Superintendent Charles S. Clark pre- sided. Louis N. Randlett. of Newton, was the first speaker of the evening. He was followed by Harold A. Rogers, first speaker for Somerville. I he other speakers for Newton were: L. Chase Kcpncr. captain. T5; Rexford S. Tucker, ’14; re- buttal. Mr. Kcpncr. I he other speakers for Somerville were: Donald Ik Smith. 15; James C. Scanlan, T4; rebuttal. Mr. Scan Ian. I he judges of the evening were: Mr. L. Smith, a Boston lawyer; Rev. Mr. Perm, also of Boston, and Mr. Campbell, who judged in place of Mr. ( leveland. principal of Cambridge High School. I he vote of these men in the decision was 2 to 1 in behalf of the negative. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 15' During the elapse of time between the argument and rebuttal, the first disappointment of the even- ing was experienced. Owing to a misunderstand- ing on the manager's part, the X. H. S. orchestra did not come. Instead, only the X. II. S. Girls’ Glee Club arrived, and although they received a hearty applause from the audience, the programme was shorter than was expected. It was an- ticipated that between the rebuttal and the an- nouncement of decision the orchestra of the visiting school would furnish entertainment, but alas, the audience was left to its own devices in respect to amusement. There was an intermission of but a few moments after the rebuttal. Mr. Clark now stepped upon the platform and broke an anxious and almost breathless silence by proclaiming Somerville win- ner by a vote of 'Z to 1. Thunderous applause fol- lowed. and soon Wiley, 'l l, mounted the platform and led an ear-splitting cheer from the Somerville pupils present—a regular S. II. S. with three New- tons. Many of the audience lingered after the perfor- mance to hear the reports from the Brookline- Somcrville debate. The report of the Brookline- Xewton debate arrived in time to be announced in the auditorium, but considerable time elapsed before the Somerville enthusiasts heard, with deep regret, of the untimely defeat of Somerville at the hands of Brookline. ©renter Boston ibigb School ©rebes tra T is fully acknowledged that this or- chestra is a success. Plans are being made to give a concert during the first part of May, in Jordan Hall. The present membership indicates that the size of the orchestra will be considerably over one hundred pieces, but since the stage in Jordan Hall will prevent as large an or- chestra as this, it is planned to limit the size of the orchestra to forty violins, twenty firsts and twenty seconds, eight violas, twelve ’cellos, eight basses, four flutes, four clarinets, two oboes, two bas- soons, four cornets, four trombones, one being bass: four horns, and timpani. The orchestra is now under the management of a committee, consisting of the following officers: -C. Levon Eksergian. chairman and founder of the organization, from Somerville; Allen L. Whit- man, general manager, from Cambridge: F. Rich- ard Jackman, business manager, from Everett: J. Silber. advertising manager, from Malden: S. Levin, secretary, from Chelsea; W. Billingham, librarian, from Boston; G. Pryor. F. Farmer and J. Stcvisky. from Somerville, Cambridge and Chel- sea. respectively. There are still two offices not occupied. In a sense it is regretted that the management does not consist wholly of Somerville boys, but it is evident that only by fair means of distribution throughout the Greater Boston schools can ef- fectiveness be obtained. Xaturally an orchestra of this kind depends for its existence upon the hearty support and co-opera- tion of every school in and about Boston. It is especially desired that Somerville will be fully rep- resented since in more than one way Somerville representatives are bound to take a leading part. Attendance at rehearsals is given great weight, and it is hoped that Somerville will excel with dignity, enthusiasm, and all the other factors that making an undertaking like this a success. The concert, which will be one of the biggest school events this year, will be the result of a very few rehearsals that are now taking place, in which further -membership will be stopped, l'hc orchestra is now working upon the Militaire Symphony by Haydn, and the Morning. Noon and Night Overture by Suppee. It is hoped to ha e Madam Calvert, one of Boston's most noted sopranos, sing at the concert. It is hoped to have as patrons: Mis Honor, the Governor; Dr. Karl Muck, and Colonel Henry L. Higginson: Mr. John A. Avery and Mr. Charles S. Clark: the mayors of the cities of Greater Boston: Mr. Chad- wick and Mr. Flanders, of the New England Conservatory; Superintendent Dr. Dyer. Assist- ant Superintendent A. L. Rafter and James M. McLaughlin. Director of Music of the Boston schools, and many other school authorities of the various cities of Greater Boston. This orchestra has been assisted by many, among whom arc some of our own faculty—as M r. John A. Avery, and Mr. Charles S. Clark, whose ardent support made such an undertaking pos- sible. Much interest and enthusiasm have been shown by Miss Merrill and Miss Batt. Such sanction and help by the faculty can be but deeply appreciated, for the difficulties of such an affair are more than one can realize. 152 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1914 Class Editor, Walter B.

Some of 11s, at least, sympathize with you, Miss Curtis. The occupants of Room 201 have been coming to school at 7.30 A. M. for quite a little time, but they arc dismissed at 12.45. It is strange, though, that we come and go with the rest of the school who attend at the regular time. Heard in 1Y Geom. C:— Teacher: Roys, keep right (Wright) still now.

Boco, our talented six-eyed sleuth, tried to apply his great detective skill on one of our teachers. The instructor turned and smote Cla—p hip and thigh. Now Boco detects no more. Hoorav, Mr. F— r. No more lunches until you pay for that geom- etry. Sig. We are great on rhymes this month. Here Is one written in memory of our cat:— “Johnny had a Thomas cat; It warbled like Caruso. A neighbor swung a baseball bat, Now Thomas does not do so.” A salute of one gun was fired by an excited pupil of Division B as Admiral Chauncey Currie strolled in the other day. Guess what this pupil meant: “If two figures can be made to coincide by superstition' they arc equal.” Sch—r seems to think a piece of chalk is a tri- angle. Not much. Bill. It may be where you came from, but it isn’t in geometry. This is Somerville, not Hackensack Corners. Teacher: “In how many ways can you use ‘it’ in German?” Currie: “Three ways. He, she and it.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 159 Pupil in German: Ini Sommer sind dic Tage lang, di Nachte kurz. “In summer the days arc long and the winter white.” Clapp has taken to slipping around corners so much of late, one of his classmates suggested wc buy him a pair of ice creepers; another, a pair of Weed Non-Skid chains. Roth suggestions arc being seriously thought over by Division I� . H—y: “Do vou know what place is named after Cliff?” Ev—t: “Sure, Marblehead. II—v: No. Clifton.” We have not as yet received any notes from the Commercial Division. We wish someone would get busy. Wc sit in 307 if that will help out any. Wc understood there was a large delegation from Division B at the automobile show. How you will know them:— Jack—n—a grin all wool and a yard wide. Clapp—“Er—er—er, yes.” Hammo—d—by his be-eutiful hair, as Miss 15a—s put it the other day. Miss C—ick—Just look for someone that looks like the queen of Salem and you will have her. Teacher: “Which side of the debate are you going to take. Sell—er? Bill: Yes.” Miss T—le: “Will you tell me how to pronounce the name of this German river? I have heard it called both Rhine and Rhone.” And then you wonder where all the lunatics came from. Ol—r has a big No Trespassing” sign on his desk. c imagine this is to keep the animals of the college division from his property. Teacher (in Science): What are the non-con- ducting materials? Pupil (looking at Clapp's head): Bone, wood, ivory, sawdust, fur and wool.” We see where the pupil got the bone, wood and ivory, but as yet have failed to place the sawdust, fur and wool on the “Long One’s” head. Rundlett has been making a lot of noise with his neckties lately. We wish to call the vigilance committee’s attention to this fact and have them deal with Rundlett. Watch the bulletin for a notice of a Sophomore Baseball Team. If not, why not have a team to lick the Juniors?

And in order that the credit may be given where credit is due, we print the name of the paper from which these extracts arc taken. What’s the use of worrying If tilings don't go just right? You don’t need to be the winner If you’re always in the fight. You should worry ’bout your English, You should worry ’bout your Math., You should worry 'bout the politics That’s carried on in class. If you worry over these things, ’Twill be of no avail. For the coming Senior class won’t care Or worry if you fail.” —Iliad. Troy, X. Y. A little bit of writing Scribbled on the cuff.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 164 Somerville Bests St. flDarft’s Somerville hockey team traveled to Southboro, February 1. and defeated St. Mark’s preparatory school by the score of 2 to 1. Superior skating and passing turned the tables against the “board- ers and proved that they must advance still fur- ther before they can place themselves on a level with suburban teams. The Somerville lineup was as follows:— Harding, r.w: Clark, c.; Bowen, l.w.: Downing, r.: I. Robertson, c.p.: Fitch, p.: H. Robertson, g. The score—Somerville, 2 : St. Mark’s 1. Goals— By Clark. 2.

As an individual artist in the forward line, we dare say Frankie is peerless and well deserves the place. As a goal tender we all think Harry Robertson is among the best and figure that had lie the bene- fit of support a |a.Melrose’' he would easily have maintained a clean slate. Xow that Melrose has the Interscholastic League Hockey Championship, let everybody rah-rah for that baseball cup. It has been arranged through Mr. Hayward to have Charlie Brickley. the celebrated and idolized football hero of Harvard, speak to the members of this school. Mr. Hayward was Bricklcy’s teacher for four years in the Everett High School, consequently Mr. Brickley’s consent was willingly given to Mr. Hayward's request. The 1 harvard man tells many interesting stories about that championship of 1000 and that 11-10 Everett game. Of all his school-boy games, he readily admits that that ranks uppermost in his mind. It goes without saying that we would welcome the opportunity to “listen to the peer of the foot- ball world.” '1’he best way in which we can show our appreciation of Mr. Hayward's efforts will be to give Mr. Brickley a rousing audience. ----------------------------- Hrlington Gives a Surprise Starting in with a rush and playing good hockey. Arlington assumed the role of a “come back” and unexpectedly defeated Somerville in the Boston Arena. February ( . by the score of -1 to 1. At the beginning of the season. Arlington was branded as a weakling, but by defeating the Red and Blue it became a contender for the league championship. This was the second meeting of the season for the teams and Arlington surely showed improved form, perhaps due to its professional coach. j.

However, is rather an exaggerated contrast of their respective ability, for the Red and I5lue, who at least expected a close game, lost hope when Melrose had scored her fifth goal. The first half of the contest was very spirited, Melrose scoring a few minutes after the start. One of the features was witnessed when a Melrose forward carried the puck along the edge of the rink through the Somerville aggregation and passed it across the complete surface of the ice to a team-mate, who cut in sharply and scored. The score at the end of the first half was Melrose. •1; Somerville. 0. Jim Robertson started the second period with a grand rush through the entire Melrose team and scored Somerville's only point.

As he stepped aside from the mouth of the cavern, they stepped up and shouted some words in Greek. How easily he could understand them! When he had studied Greek at Harvard he never thought he would be able to understand it if it were spoken. The questioner had asked: “What must we do to cleanse the city of Thebes of its plague?” Kenneth, looking more closely at the interroga- tor. recognized Creon, Oedipus's brother-in-law. What could this state of affairs be? He looked hastily at his own clothes. Much was his surprise to discover that he was dressed in the same style that they were. • A few minutes later Apollo gave back the an- swer. “The murderer of Laius, your former ruler, is within your lands. His life must be taken or lie must be driven from Thebes before the city will be free from the plague ’ The embassy turned to go when they noticed Osgood in the shadow. Creon called out: “Stranger, where arc you going?” Anvwhere. Then come with us to Thebes to lend your hand in our troubles.” Osgood accompanied Crcon to Thebes, where much hospitality was shown him. He even went to the palace with Crcon. There he saw reacted the whole scene which he had read in Sophocles’ “Oedipus Tyrannus.” Xo longer did he wonder where he was. He knew that he had been translated to the days of the ancient Greeks through the friendliness of the Pythian. Day after day he wandered through the stricken city of Thebes, lie had just started on foot for Athens when he heard voices above him. He looked up quickly into the eyes of a white-bearded man. who was leaning over him. He was not a Greek, but decidedly an Amer- ican. Osgood looked again. His surroundings were not those of the outskirts of Thebes, but of the ward of an Athens hospital. He listened:— Mow long will it be before he can ieave, doc- tor?” asked the nurse. “In about two weeks. He has regained con- sciousness much quicker than I expected. It was a strange accident, wasn't it. doctor?” Yes. He had evidently been asking some ques- tion at Delphi, as many tourists do. when he was overcome by the fumes. He struck his head on a rock. A party of tourists discovered him a few hours later.” Then it dawned upon Kenneth’s befogged mind that his wanderings in ancient Greece had been but a dream. Immediately all desire to prove his re- incarnation from the Greeks left him. He thought of Alice. Why had he stopped writing to her? The doctor made good his word and two weeks later Kenneth left the hospital. He was soon on a ship bound for Poston. t his first opportunity after arriving in Boston, Osgood hastened to visit Alice. He had not heard from her since he had left tliens for Delphi. Would she marry him even if he had given up his hobby—reincarnation? Great was his disappoint- ment when he learned that Alice was out of town. Kenneth was not entirely well, for this news broke him down. The doctor advised a trip into the wilderness. A snow shoe trip through New Hampshire was decided upon. With a party of friends he was soon tramping along the banks of the Connecticut River. One afternoon Kenneth wandered from the crowd as they were approaching a small town. i65 SOM ERVI LL I ] HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR E. H. WELLINGTON, President E. A. F.

He had arrived just in time to hear the climax:— “Alice, dearest, will you marry me? ’ “Yes, Manfrid.” Osgood swung around quickly. He saw a pretty girlish form fall into the arms of a stalwart young man. )ne glance told him that the for- tunate young man held in his arms Alice Glad- stone, his former sweetheart. With downcast eyes and with many wild thoughts coursing through his muddled brain. Osgood hastened in the direction of the town. He realized at last that his hobby had lost for him the dearest little girl in the world. Soon he was walking down the main street of the little town. The street was crowded with young men. and here and there was a sprinkling of girls with their escorts. From every one’s lips he heard the words “Winter Carnival.” What could be the cause for such a lively town in so deserted a part of the mountains? Proceeding up the main street he came upon a large campus sur- rounded by buildings. Osgood then became aware that he was in a college t wn. He also be- came aware that a man from another college had won his sweetheart. He directed his weary way across the campus toward a group of three white buildings. On the corner-stone of the middle building was a tablet. When Osgood read the inscription his cup of bit- terness was filled. Xot only had Alice betrothed herself to another man. but------ 'Phe inscription read: “This corner-stone laid bv the sixth Earl of Dartmouth, October 20, 1P01.

HQUUcocftson Crcasurcr of tbe XececsUHlcs Xtecuit Company, JSeaton | A talk given before the Commercial Pupils of the Senior and Junior Classes, April 2. and re- ported by the Stenography and Typewriting De- partment.! UEXDS: I think your principal wanted me to give you this morning an out- line of what tile 'business man ex- pects of young men and young ladies entering business. However far short I may fall of your expectations. 1, at least, have the same mental attitude as an old darky down South, who was sitting in front of a grocery store when a lawyer came along and said: 1'ncle Mosey can you change a fifty-dollar bill for me? Marsa Jones, replied the darky, “1 can’t change a fifty-dollar bill, but I thanks you for the compliment just the same.” As 1 saw this magnificant building and its beau- tiful grounds, I couldn't help thinking of a little old country school that 1 attended when I was fifteen years of age. out on the prairies of Nebraska. Outside, it was twenty by forty feet; within, was a cast iron stove. Our teacher was an elder pupil. I mention that to show you what advantages you have here today, advantages you should take full advantage of. The principal things that enter into the neces- sarv qualifications for business are, first, educa- tion: then honesty, initiative, observation, appli- cation. work. Following these, accuracy, neatness of worlc. personal appearance, neatness of dress, manner of speech, way of acting, decision, cour- tesy. imagination. Those are all essential, and very necessary to a full realization of your ambit- ion. hhlum ion unfortunately means to too many peo- ple merely being crammed full of book knowl- edge. Hook knowledge is a wonderful thing, get all you can : but it is merely the training for that bigger education that is to come later. It has been said that the real education is not begun until von are at least thirty years of age. For the next few years you arc getting settled down in business and home life, and at about thirty you begin to realize the importance of the business of life, and to realize what is expected of you, what you de- sire to do; and you learn the sort of knowledge that is valuable. The definition of honest ij is a very broad one. Ask the average person what honesty is and he says it is not stealing. I’nfortunately too many people apply that definition to it. Hut if you arc going io be honest, you must be honest in action, in vour work, in everything you do: it is just as bad to prevaricate by implication as by directly telling a lie. If you allow a wrong inference to be drawn, you have prevaricated just as directly as if you had made an utterance to two or three thousand people. That is a subject that one could talk on for days. It is worthy of thought and attention. Initiative is a quality that is very little understood. In business it will have a greater determination upon your success than you imagine. Too many people are prone to do just what they are'asked to do. You need to have initiative. That is closely allied to my definition of anticipation, in that you know what your superior officer wants. If you don’t, you should study till you do, and have the work all ready ior him. If he asks for figures, assume that he wants a total, and have it ready. In the bus rush of business, you may say. They never notice those things. but it is the little things that count. The big matters are easy to handle, but it takes more time to straighten out some small mistake, more thought, than to build a plant costing two and a half millions of dollars. People should be brought to a realization of that fact. Observation is my next point. We all think that we are observant. T do not apply this question to ladies because, as a rule, they are more obser- vant than men: however. I would like to know how many of you young men can tell without looking, how many buttons you have on your coat sleeve, such of you as have buttons. Or. how many of you can say off-hand what numerals. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 75 whether Roman or Arabic, arc used to indicate the figures on your watch? As you go along in your work every day. knowledge is spread all about you. In the school that you attend, the work is pleas- ant, associations are pleasant, and you arc being educated to take a higher and better position. Every effort is being made to make better men and women of you, because we have no use. in business, for any man whose habits and morals arc not all they should be. The business houses today are paying a great deal of attention to that, and they will pay more in the future, because a man without a clean body and a clean mind will never make a success. It is a practice in many families to give the young man a watch on his arrival at certain age. That is something that I should discourage. There is only one place in the family for a timepiece. That is a good, big. alarm clock on the wall, to get up by in the morning. After that, you should for- get the clock, and keep hustling if you wish to make a success of your work. Accuracy in work is a subject about which it is not necessary to say much. You know that if you do a thing, and don't do it right, it’s neces- sarily wrong. Anything that is wrong is not right. We all know the definition of those two words. Any mistake made in a factory has results in your own homes where you get the goods. It is disastrous to business. X cal ness in your work is very important. You may be rejected for the reason that you don’t write a good hand. Penmanship today is a very im- portant art. It is one that few people have mas- tered. Your personoi appearance has a great deal to do with your success. You may have a position back- in the corner of the office where it doesn’t seem to make any particular difference, but when we choose men to meet men. we must have people that are pleasing in appearance. I don’t mean handsome people, but they must have a manner about them that impresses people with themselves and the house for which they work. They must be people that can represent the concern and create a good impression, so that the customers will remember them pleasantly, and think of the concern in the same way. Neatness in dress is very important. That doesn’t mean correctness of dress. You may be ten years out of style, and still be very neat. We don’t care to have men with a three-days' growth of beard, nor do we wish to have young ladies with their hair in a tousle. N r do we care par- ticularly,— you want to know some facts,—for the young man with the latest style of hair cut, nor the young lady with the very latest way of doing her hair. YVe may have them but, at the same time when we begin to choose, we have the privilege, without saying anything, of selecting where we please, and we don’t often choose from those that run to extremes and attract attention and ridicule. My dear young ladies, it wasn't so very long ago that I was considerably interested in young ladies myself, and ! will tell you—I speak from experience—that it would surprise some of you to know the attitude, the mental attitude, of the men that you pass on the streets, the men that you meet in business; and knowing that, I am quite sure that some of you would be very, very careful of the way you act, the way you talk, the way you dress. The same applies to the young man, per- haps not to quite as great an extent, or with such disastrous results, but it is very important that his actions, his mannerisms, etc., be carefully watched. You don’t need to go down the street like a deacon, with a black tie. you may wear a red one if you want to. it is the way you act that counts. Now in your contact with your associates in business: Iiusiness. today, is getting to be a great big organization. Therefore, from president to office boy, all are employees, and some of them necessarily direct: others take orders. In our business, our men don't take orders. We place everything in the nature of a request, and expect to have it complied with, and it always is complied with. In your relation with your fellow associates always be courteous. Snow proper deference for those that are your superior officers, but for good- ness’ sake, don’t go about it in a cringing sort of way. This is free America, and you have a right to look any honest man in the face, and talk to him on that basis. W e want men to say what they have to say and get through. In the matter of decisions: The great difficulty with too many of us is that we lack decision. W atch your baseball team : watch the candidates. I used to play the game and I know something about it. They will come out. and the ball will come down their way. and they may catch it in beautiful shape, but they- will stand and look at it. They don’t know what to do with it. f remember that a captain once said, “Do something with it. Drop it on the ground. Maybe some one will pick i;6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR it nj and do something with it.” That is just the trouble in business.—too many men and women get hold of a proposition and don’t know what to do with it. They lack decision,—they are afraid. If you lack decision, you will work in a minor capacity all your life. ('ourfc.ti, B very important. You know what that means. It isn’t necessary for me to say any- thing on it further than this. A great many people imagine that courtesy is something to be applied only to those from whom we expect to get some- thing. a superior in position, but you should be just as careful to be courteous to the man work- ing with you or under you as to the president of the concern. IhKH inalion is the quality that will carry you far in business. If you lack imagination, you will be a plodder all your life. You must read a great deal. I don’t refer to any special kind of reading, almost dnv kind is good: but some books arc a great deal better than others. Read the things that men who know have to say. Then think.— put in more time thinking than you do reading. You will find that a great many men—I know T do personally—create imaginative conditions, imaginary circumstances and problems in busi- ness and as applied to outside matters (we do this as we ride back and forth on the car. or at luncheon, or about the home), and then solve them. If it is a matter that frequently comes up, I imagine that it involves a legal situation. I make a mental note of it. and at the first opportunity look up the law on the subject. That exercises the mind, and does this: Sooner or later one of th c imaginary conditions will arise, and you have the answer right there. And someone will say, “Mv. isn’t lie smart!” But I might have been a year looking up the reference. The ability to take advantage of the ideas of others is a great asset in business. The great trouble with some of us is that our superiors in business tells us a thing is so. and we sit back and say. What does he know about it? lie is an old timer.” Now that man may have been in busi- ness for thirty years, and you. in an instant can get that accumulated knowledge if you will onlv take it. but before you can get into that frame of mind you must have confidence in your superiors. A man isn't going to tell you something injurious to you or to his business. That would be cutting off his own nose. Believe in him. Figure from a selfish standpoint if from no other. If you want to get ahead in business, don’t work just enough to hold your job. Almost anyone can do that, because we have jobs to fit almost anyone, but if you want to get ahead, watch the work, take advantage of every opportunity offered. W hen a man in our place completes his work, or a girl has a few minutes to spare, they are en- couraged to study the situation at the next desk, and qualify for the next position above, with the result that when we open our Xcw York plant, we are going to send there men from our Boston office. We are going to take boys and move them up. That's what I mean by qualifying for the next position above. Be prepared for that position ahead. Often you see two men working side by side. One says, So-and-so gets more than I do, and I am doing the same kind of work.” Very true. Two people may sit at desks side by side. They may be doing the same amount of work with the same accuracy, the same neatness; and one of them wouldn’t get more than fifty per cent of what the other gets. It is on account of their atti- tude towards their work. I have in mind a man who was in our business some years ago. He was a very bright man—in some ways. He understood his work, he was thorough, he was as accurate as any man I ever met: and I took that man out of his position as chief accountant of that corporation and put in a green man. And whv? For the simple reason that his attitude toward people was not right. He was grouchy, grumpy. Someone would say: The boss is cross this morning, and he would answer. Oh. what do you expect? He’s crazy am how. lie lost his position on account of his attitude. Anybody can start a fight, but it takes a mighty good man to keep peace in an or- ganization. So when your neighbor comes to you and says: “The boss is crazy, instead of agree- ing with him in his wrong attitude, say Well, you want to remember that his family is ill, or, the officers of the concern have been here, and busi- ness is crowding him. and he is not feeling well, lust forget it and go along. Don't encourage peo- ple that are on the wrong track. If you are doing your duty in life, you are trying to keep people go- ing on the straight track of right. If you are doing anything else you are wrong. You hear people say that opportunity comes but once to your door. That is not right: it came when you were born, and is still with you. Opportunity is always at your door: get right out and grab after it. Don’t wait for it to come to you. You’ve got to get on the car yourself. Another very bad thing that you see in business. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 177 very closely related to attitude, is jealously. Don’t he jealous of a man or woman who succeeds. You ought to be proud to be associated with such people. If they have succeeded, emulate their ex- ample. How often do you hear in business, ‘‘The boss gets a lot of money, he has some pull; what does he know anyhow?” Once iti a very great while you may find a man or woman who is hold- ing a position on account of a pull, but it will be one time in a million. The rest of the time they are holding it because they have the ability, be- cause they work day and night studying the situa- tion. They study, and have succeeded not through any pull. Boost, don’t knock. I couid preach a whole sermon on that. I'he greatest asset in business is til’s—knowl- edge of human nature. Many and many a smart man with all the knowledge that a man could want cannot make a success because lie doesn't under- stand human nature. If you understand human na- ture. you have the biggest asset in business today. Here is something that you should study carefully, and when you leave your school and start out to get a position, be very careful of the concern that vou connect yourself with. If you become asso- ciated with a concern that has a shifty way of doing business, that believes in rather shrewd, so- called methods—fifteen ounces for a pound instead of sixteen—it is only reasonable to suppose that you will come to believe that that is the proper way to do business, and will practice it; and if you go into business yourself, you will do the same thing. So be careful when you associate yourself with a concern to get with a good, square, honest concern. One of my associates said the other night that the idea of most people was ninety per cent, salary and ten per cent. work. Keep in touch with the rank and file of the or- ganization. You can’t sit in your office and not know what is going on in your plant, the atti- tude of people and the kind of people in it. The first thing i do every morning when I get to my office is to take off my coat and put on my old office coat, and walk down the platform, where the cars are coming in, and go into every car. and speak to every man in every car and I know most of them by their first names. If I happen to know that a man has a sick wife, I ask him how she is. What is the result? This: Men doing heavy work, with no education, with no ability other than muscles, arc always there with a smile and are glad to see me: and I go through the factory in the same way. I could not, of course, speak to every man in the whole building, but you can. as you pass by a machine with nine men or so working, say good morning.” and you can say it with a smile; that’s the important thing. Let them know you have some interest in them. Some men simply make a bluff at it. but I have an interest in every human being, an honest in- terest for him. and that part of it is easy for me. Do something for the other fellow. You get out of life what you put into it. If you do something for the other man. it will make you feel better yourself, and after you have done something for ten or fifteen people, they will reciprocate. You wish to know if. after you have done these things, you will attain success. Most people will give the definition of success as “a barrel of money.” a big bank account.” A reasonable amount of money is necessary for our well-being, but success means far more than money. It means honest living, right living, the right attitude toward your fellowtncn. so that you will always be glad to sec them and they you. It is the good will and the good opinion of the multitude earned in honest, honorable, right ways that really spells success. tCbe 16 lack IRose JBs Ocoviic Warren Hlrsbson, '14 was Tuesday night, I remember it distinctly. It was my mother's birthday, and 1 was hurrying home from work early. As I approached the bridge over which I had regularly passed for the last five years, I stopped, as it had been my habit, to speak and buy from the crippled man who sold pencils, shoe- strings. etc., in the dark doorway of the empty tenement joining the bridge. Tonight he seemed peculiarly talkative. As I turned to go he clutched my arm with a nervous grasp, and reaching his face up to my ear muttered as I could make out with difficulty. ‘‘It is done— finished at last, the world will know of me!” It had been a warm day and thinking the heat i;8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR of the day might have affected his mind, I offered to take him home. “Oh! then you will come and see my wonderful flower?'' he muttered. Absentmindedly I answered that I would. I will admit I was a little bit curious, as I had heard lie was a well educated man. and talked well on all subjects, so that his present nervous state truly excited my curiosity. Evidently my assent to go with him pleased him. and his pleasure was peculiar to see, horribly crippled he endeavored to show his feelings by dancing. Had I not caught him several times lie would have fallen to the pavement. Being an old man he soon became exhausted and leaned all his weight upon my arm. and again he started to mutter words that I had difficulty in making out. All! then a tired sigh, I will at last be recog- nized as a genious. and it is as it should be. my work lias at last been rewarded, my rose will prove it. The more he said the more tangled the xvhole thing became in my mind. Suddenly I thought of my mother, and as 1 walked in the opposite direction from her, I could almost see her so perfectly was she pictured in my mind. Always anxious about me, I could feel her anxiety increase with the minutes of my absence. My thoughts were again interrupted by the un- canny muttering of my unbalanced friend. Com- ing to a gloomy corner, lit only by a dim light. 1 looked around for an officer, as I felt I could go no further with my companion. I will truthfully say I was a little frightened, you would have appreciated my feelings if you could have placed yourself in my position. Imagine yourself hurry- ing home for such a purpose as mine, only to be disappointed, then imposed on, and finally placed in a peculiar and almost ridiculous position. It was getting to be long after supper time, and 1 was still being led irrcsistably toward some mysterious and almost magnetic climax. Hav- ing by this time thrashed out the whole matter in my mind. 1 decided that I would see it out. So taking new courage I took a firm grip on my com- panion’s arm. We had passed the apology for a street lamp, and were soon in the dark, groping to find our way along the uncurbed street. The neighbor- hood was not as thickly populated as it might have been, the absence of children's chatter being noticeable. My friend had grown gradually more quiet until I was unable to hear any sound from him except his heavy breathing as he labored along by my side. I had been walking along for some time with my head down thinking of my mother, of what had happened and what was to happen. when before I knew it. we had come upon a scries of dilapidated tenement blocks. They were shabby in appearance, and the usual odor of a tenement block in summer was prevelent. Reaching the first block, we were about to pass when my companion half pulled me into a dark foul smelling doorway. For the first time within the last quarter of an hour he spoke, brokenly though it was. ’Won’t you come in and see it? As he spoke he opened the door, and I found myself in a small stuffy hallway with two doors leading from it. Almost immediately on our en- trance a small withered woman came out. She wore a kindly smile as she assisted my friend off with his coat. As she moved under the lamp I recognized her as the woman who called and assisted my friend home every night, rain or shine. She was unmistakably his wife. She soon rec- ognized me. and softiy but very courteously thanked me. and bowed quaintly. Almost instantly my friend (whose name, by the way as I caught from his wife, “Nicolas ) commenced anew with his incessant chatter. Nervously clutching his wife’s arm he bade her lead us to his room. All his previous mutter- ings and nervousness returned twofold. By the time we had come to his room he was in such a tense state that his wife had to forcibly calm him down, and kept telling him to be patient and wait. 'Hie mystery was still as unknown to me as it ever was. and I was about to ask for a full ex- planation. when my friend almost calm now began to talk. Five years ago I had a dream, in which my deceased father returned and told me my fortune lay in a peculiar and heretofore unheard of accomplishment. He explained that although crippled I would be able to attain it just the same. My fortune lay in the growing of a black rose,’' he sighed and with bowed head continued. And now after all these years of toil, worry and dis- couragement I have succeeded, my dream is com- plete! Then he burst into a high, uncouth laugh, and walked to and fro in such an excited state that his wife attempted to force him into a seat, but with unexpected strength he threw her aside, and continued more excited than ever. “The world will soon hear of me. science will try to imitate my discovery, but they can't do it! This he fairly shrieked and made terrible grimaces and gestures, as if he were attacking some trespasser of his rights. I was perspiring profusely as I watched his ex- traordinary performance. Moving into the cor- ner of the room. I tried to get into the shadows. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «79 and waited until lie would continue, which he soon did with even more vigor than before he became exhausted. “I am going to show you, prove to you it can be done,” and with that he reached into the shadow of a curtain, and reverently brought out his plant, which when I could see it more distinctly was a common rose plant upon which was a beautiful red rose in full bloom. He tenderly caressed it as if it were a child. Quickly turning toward me he held the plant out, and exclaimed, “Look! Is it not as I have said? See the color of the rose, it is black! black! and I have succeeded, my work is through, my reward to come. It is black, it is— deathly bl--- and lie crumpled suddenly to the floor still grasping the plant to his breast. Instantly we were at his side, and we e about to lift him when his wife stepped back aghast, her eyes horribly large and she groaned, He is dead!” Immediately I put my hand on his heart and slowly lowered my head for truly he had joined that band of crippled martyrs, that need not their limbs to carry them on their way. I carried him to his bed. and led his wife out to the other room and asked her to explain cvciy- thing from beginning to end. “There is not much to explain,” she began, “except the first. He thought he dreamt lie re ceivcd that message from his father, and every night he came home he would work with that plant. I didn’t bother him as lie was quiet and didn't need the attention I had been giving him. It kept him quiet and busy, so I thought it better to let him go on. Gradually I could see lie was losing his mind. sO I made him think too was interested in the plant and encouraged, him to con- tinue. His whole mind was occupied on nothing but that plant. His whole heart and soul was set on completing his invention. The climax came last night when, as I sat sewing, I heard his voice coming from his room. It was tired but tri- umphant. I knew then he had brought his mind to think the rose was black. A new trouble arose in my mind, I knew he would try to sell his dis- covery, and I felt the shock of being told he was insane, would kill him. Ah! I am so glad it was von who came with hm. you understand, oh! you do, don’t you?” Putting my hands on her shoulders I said. “Yes! I understand perfectly, more so probably than do you. You arc a brave little woman, and I will sec that you will have your way made easy as lie would like to have made it.” 1 led her. weeping, to her big chair, and bidding her good-night, called at the undertaker’s on my way home. My mother was asleep when 1 reached home, so I went to bed and to sleep thinking of the strange things which had happened. At breakfast in the morning I told mother every- thing. and giving her the pretty dressing gown and slippers to match she had so much admired in a down town store window. 1 bid her good-bye and instead of going to my office, called at the little house of mourning. I saw to it that Nicolas had a decent burial, and took the little woman home to my mother. She is in back of my chair now as I sit writing; her withered, kindly hands on my shoulders, while mother, sitting at the other end of the table, smiled sweetly, sighed and again took up her sewing. “©enevteve” J6b JElsa OTUfc, ’14 LL I want is a chance! Just a little, little, chance,” and 1 Jetty Brown’s curly head drooped despairingly over the piano-keys and her shoulders shook. The room in which she sat was meagerly furnished with only the bare necessities. The only luxury being a piano which stood in one corner. 1 he piano, how- ever, was as shining and spotless as loving hands could make it. A few months before, Betty had come to the city determined to find music pupils and support herself, but all her efforts had been in vain. Ap- parently no one wanted t take music lessons, for there were no answers t her advertisements. Then she had tried to secure a position at the music counters in the great department stores, but one and all dismissed her with a curt refusal. One by one she had sold her few possessions to appease the landlady and her own appetite. And now. sobbed Betty, “if I don’t get work to- morrow. my dear piano, my only friend, you too must go.” The next morning after a scant breakfast, and after she had faithfully polished the beloved piano, Betty set out. All day she tramped the busy i8o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR streets, all clay she hoped, and all day she met the same rebuff, No, we have plenty of players.” At noon she spent her last ten cents for a sand- wich. And now it’s do or die.” said Betty, and bravely lifted her head. Late in the afternoon she entered the office of the last department store on her list. There was nothing in the stern features of the man seated at the big roll-top to inspire confidence, but Betty walked in fearlessly. No, said the man. we don’t need any more help of that kind.’’ and turned away, but Betty had kept silent too long. ()h, sir.” she burst out and her voice broke. Won’t you give me a chance? I’m so tired, and so—so hungry! I just want a chance, and her brown eyes filled. The man looked at her a moment and his eyes softened a little. I suppose I can do that,” he said, rising. Our firm always aims to be fair. But you’ll have to be quick: it's nearly closing time, and you understand I'm not promising any- thing.” Oh. I know!” cried Betty, radiant, and I thank you so much.” She followed the man out to the elevator, and when they reached the floor where the pianos were, she stopped with a gasp, for all around her were pianos, big and little, of all colors and kinds. Betty dropped onto the nearest stool and the man sat down near her. Does it make any difference to you what 1 play?” asked Betty. No,” answered the man, glancing at his watch. Betty never knew why, but as she sat there, there came to her mind the sad, sweet strains of Genevieve.” and softly she struck the keys. At the first few measures the man started, half rose. Then sank back in his chair and covered his eyes with is hand. What memories that song called back! Memories of a slim, white-clad figure seated at a piano, memories of a dusky room and the scent of roses stealing in through the open windows and the twilight over all. and last of all. memories of himself, seated near the piano, listening to the strainsv 4euevieve.’’ He came to himself with a start when lie realized that Betty’s music had ceased. Then he rose. You’re hired.” was all lie said, but Betty wondered if it was in her imagination that she heard him murmur, For her sake.” TLhc Xure of 3olf JSv Hrnolfc lx Ourrav, LI) HENRY HAWKINS had been a resident of Hot Springs so long that nobody could tell when lie had first settled there. He was an old. bent man with a shaggy white beard, and he lived in a tumble-down shack in the woods which surrounded Hot Springs. The town saw little of him. for he lived in seclu- sion. giving the order of necessary articles to keep him alive to the driver of the coach which passed a little distance from the cabin. It was always noticed that he gave the driver a five-dollar gold piece to pay for the goods. Many people said that there was money hidden under the planks in his cabin. Some people, in fact, thought that the cabin must be made of five- dollar geld pieces with a few slabs to cover the coins. However, neither of these reports had been proven true. One dav when Joe Rivers, driver of the coach between Gold Gulch and Hot Springs, was going ’16=06 to get some water for his horses, he heard a faint groan directly in front of him. Hurrying towards the spot whence the sound came, he found Hawk- ins writhing upon the ground. The old man had been hit with some object, for there was a deep gash on his forehead from which the blood was oozing fast. Joe bound up the cut and carried him to his shack, which, luck- ily, was near. When asked who hit him the old man refused to tell. Then going to a few boards which served as a table lie wrote a letter to his nephew. Bob Doherty, in San Pedro, California, to come at once as he needed his help. He gave the letter to Joe to mail, and putting hi hand in his pocket he withdrew a five-dollar gold piece, which he handed to the driver, telling him to keep the change. Joe, amazed at first, re- fused to take the coin, but the old man feebly in- sisted. saying that he had a few more which would last him till he died. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 181 As you can imagine, when Joe with a great nour- ish drew his coach drawn by four panting horses to a stop at the entrance of the only hotel which Hot Springs could boast and rushed to the bar. yelling in a loud voice: ’’Drinks for everybody.” and threw the five-dollar gold piece upon the counter, telling his story while the drinks were being poured out. the gossips of the town soon told that the old man was not a miser, but was giving gold away. One man who was loafing at the end of the bar listened with great interest. The man was the tramp. Dangerous Dan Munroc. Two days later Joe stopped his coach, and tak- ing a satchel from the top of the coach, led his only passenger, a young man about sixteen who claimed to be the miser’s nephew, to the cabin where but two days before he had received the gold piece. W hen the old man saw the boy and driver ap- proaching. he eagerly looked at them through the open doorway. When the nephew ran towards him he murmured in a weak tone:— “Thank God. it is he. I can sec his resemblance to his poor mother who was killed by that wretch-----!” Here the old man's face grew stern, his eyes bulged, and a ferocity like that of a lion possessed him and he swung iiis arm with youthful vigor, then fell back exhausted. “Are you willing to stay with me until I die?” he asked querulously. “Yes. uncle.” replied the boy. ‘‘Will you please pav Toe? 1 haven't got any money!” Hie old man paid Joe with another gold piece. When the rumble of the wheels had died away the old man called llob to his side and told him why he had asked him to come. “Mv boy. said lie. “you know your father is a drunkard, and for years beat your mother and voursclf almost to death. You also know that a few years ago vour mother died heartbroken, and from the effects of his cruel blows when she re- fused to tell where I lived. After she died he secured one of my letters and learned where T lived The other day when I was out in the woods he came upon me. and when I refused him gold lie hit me across the forehead, and was going to beat me into insensibility, save that Joe Rivers sud- denly came through the woods and rescued me. Now over in that corner you see a rifle. I want you to shoot him if he ever enters this cabin: then both you and I will be avenged. Years ago I was troubled bv a tramp called Dangerous Dan Mun- roc. but my chief worry has been over your father. Jim Doherty. Take the can there, my noy, and about a mile from here is a spring. I’.ring some water, and when you get back it will be time to prepare our supper. You will find the food in the cupboard on the right.” The boy set on his errand, while the old man fell asleep. While he slept the tramp called Dangerous Dan Munroc. who had once killed a man in a drunken brawl in the saloon of the hotel, entered stealthily, went to the cupboard and took some bread and milk. Then he began t « search for the gold, but although he searched for over twenty minutes, he could find nothing. So he left the cabin, leaving his coat, which he had taken off during the search, behind him. Later, he was met by Joe Rivers, who made him tell where he got the food. Dangerous Dan being afraid of Joe. told him that he had gone to the cabin to search for the gold that the latter had told him about. This was at 5 o’clock and it was at 1.15 o'clock that the tramp had been at the cabin. The tramp then lay down to rest. Meanwhile the miser slept. Jim Doherty, the lad’s father who was more disreputable than the tramp, entered the cabin and began ransacking it for gold. At first he looked everywhere except in the cupboard. When he looked in there he tore up the planks and saw five bags of gold. In his eyes there was a greed and longing for the shining pieces, lie hastily reached for two bags but Hawkins' shrill voice stopped him and lie dropped the bags with a bang. The old man had the rifle in his hands, but before lie could touch the trigger, a shot from Doherty's revolver killed him instantly. Doherty then seized four bags and ran out of the cabin, his eyes hollow at his crime. He had gone only about two hundred yards when Hob. returning from the spring, saw him running. He did not recognize his rather, but lie noticed that the man had on a black and white checkered coat. He started in pursuit, but wisely remembered that a young man such as he was could not hope to overcome a strong, desperate man. He vent inside the cabin, saw that it was •1.30 o’clock and Mien ran towards the sheriff's office. The man kept on running until he reached the tramp, who had fallen asleep under a tree. An idea suddenly occurred to him. He took off his black-and-white checkered coat and placed it on the tramp, who still slept. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 182 The sheriff and l� iul Spargel of liar X were en- joying a game of poker in the former’s office. Sud- denly the door was thrust open, and a breathless, dust covered boy dashed into the room. When he got his breath lie told his story. The sheriff’ called to his men and they set out to find the murderer, a mail with a black and white checkered coat. A11 hour later they came upon Dan Munroe. As soon as he saw the sheriff and his men lie turned and ran. but was soon caught and taken back to jail, thinking that he had been arrested for stealing the food. When he was told that he was arrested for the murder of Henry Hawkins he almost went crazy. It would take too long to give the details of his trial. It is sufficient to say that circumstances were all against him. He had a bad reputation and character: lie had murdered a man in a drunken brawl: he had been at the cabin at 4.15 o’clock, al- most precisely the time that the crime had been committed: he had a black-and-white checkered coat: he ran when the sheriff and his men had pur- sued him: he acknowledged that he had gone to the cabin with the intention of getting gold: and his finger prints had been found upon the cup- board. His story and his lawyers’ were pathetic and moved the people to tears, but failed to move the jury. ()ne hour later they returned with the verdict of “Guilty!’’ The poor tramp uttered a groan. Everybody had been against him since he had been born and here he was going to die for a crime he had never committed. The judge imposed the sentence. He was to be sent to Denver to be electrocuted. The next day when the sheriff and his deputy were waiting for the Overland express, a rider, liatless, dusty and exhausted, dashed up to the sheriff and handed him a letter which read as fol- lows :— The Crocker Hospital, San Francisco, California, November 18, 1012. To the Sheriff of Hot Springs:— Dear Sir: 1. Jim Doherty, brother-in-law to Henry Hawk- ins. do confess on my deathbed that I murdered the said Henry Hawkins, took my black-and-white checkered coat and placed it on a tramp, who was sleeping under a tree a few miles from the scene of the crime The four bags -of-gold-a re in a bank in this city and can be obtained by inquiring of Lawyer Lenjamin S. Sawyer, 811 Main street. T regret, with all my heart, that I murdered my brother-in-law. and pray to God to forgive me. [Signed] Jim Doherty. Witnesses: Miss Marv Falconi, Dr. John Alden. For a few moments no one spoke. Then the sheriff, taking Dan bv the hand, made him a free man and escorted him back to the hotel. ---------- fllbonbegan ITslanb By? Jfrcfccricf? H.

On Friday morning, April 2, the sad words, “Mr. Murray is dead. were spoken from one to another. Later, the official announcement of the sad news was made to us, and in token of re- spect the remaining exercises of the day were omitted. As we turned sadly away, the silence which had fallen upon this usually busy place, and the Hag drooping at half mast, seemed in sympathy with our grief. Not only the freshmen class with which Mr. Murray was closely identified, and his special classes in Latin and Harvard Physics, but the en- tire student body, feel a deep sense of loss. Mr. Murray’s stalwart figure, his energetic step, and inspiring voice, with his whole souled enthusi- asm for all interests of the school under whatever conditions, made him a conspicuous figure upon the faculty, and will give him a large place in the memory of the present students and of the hosts of graduates during his long and honorable con- nection with the Somerville High School. r r � . � Once more, a great honor has been conferred upon our school. This time it is in the form of a beautiful, silk, American flag. On April 8. at tiie Shawmut Congregational Church, Poston, t’.ic Women’s Relief Corps of Massachusetts presented the national emblem to the school, and it is now in position in the new auditorium. r For some years there has been much discussion about the price of admission of pupils to athletic games. Some have favored a plan whereby pupils are admitted free, but then the question arose whether the public would come to the sup- port of the Athletic Association. At last, the Association has come forth with a proposition whereby pupils can buy season tickets admitting them to all the home games, including the league games at a greatly reduced price, if the pupils will guarantee to buy at least five hundred tickets. I’npils! in a school two thousand in number, at least fifteen hundred should be sold, and it is your duty to buy them, and he present at the games, to help the team with your presence and by your cheering. V V I'lie Student Council are to be congratulated on the success of the first entertainment. Although this programme included boys, solely, the girls arc to be given their chance in the next programme. It was one of the unique events of this year to 184 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR •have an entertainment planned by the pupils, managed by the pupils, and given by the pupils, while the facultv were among the spectators. K V k Seniors! the hardest part of the senior year is at hand. The remaining two months of our high school career are filled with class events and other social functions. Besides this, there is much extra school work outside of our daily assign- ments to be done, and it is a great temptation to attend the former and shirk the latter. So rest during the Spring vacation and prepare for the finish. Charles XL. tturrag The death of our associate, whom we have known and respected during all the years of our work together, has brought great sorrow to our hearts. We shall miss his stimulating influence in the affairs of the school, for as a powerful executive officer and an unremitting worker he was a coiv stant force for good among 11s. His service was of absolute devotion. We recognize the inspira- tion and help which Mr. Murray gave to those who came in contact with him as pupils, from day to day. I he result was marked in those who went from his guidance into the world. Mr. Murray was a man of kindness, fidelity and courage, and as such will be a part of our lives and memories. We sincerely mourn his loss, and ex- tend to his family our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. Walter- I: Ghftpman, Frank M. Hawes, Julia T. Connor, Grace Gatchell. For the Faculty. School IKlews Cbc JSovs' Entertainment On Friday. March .2? at 1 o'clock, the school .assembled in the hall to enjoy the first of a series of entertainments under the auspices of the Stu- dents' Council, given for the purpose of foster- ing school spirit and increasing the pleasures of High School student life. I he talent was furnished by the student body and was of superior quality. Many were the con- jectures to the nature of the affair, but we were all most agreeably surprised at the amount of real talent displayed. The boys set a very good example to be followed by the girls at our next gathering. we assembled, music from the orchestra greeted us from behind the curtains. V. hen the curtains rolled aside soon after one o’clock. Carl Xewton. of the Class of 1916-A, stepped forth and surrounded by his many instru- ments of magic, drew the veil of mystery over our eyes. He then proceeded in a most hypnotic manner to defy the law of Physics and Chemistry. Following this almost professional display, Wil- liam McAulif. T7-B, sang to us a soprano solo for which he received two encores. The 'Watching Glee sung by the Boys' Glee Club next called for our attention, after which the orchestra gave its usual fine exhibition. But a treat was still in store for us when the curtain again rolled apart, Harris, T3, and Hir- slion. '! I, were revealed in the costume of acro- bats. They proceeded to stand upon their hands whereupon a commotion was heard behind the scenes and Ellis, To, in clown costume, appeared in a flying leap through the loop formed by their legs. From that time until J.lo we were kept laughing by the antics of the clown, while Hir- shon and Harris performed feats of strength and gymnastic stunts. The clown even went so far as to poke a little fun at the Faculty, who enjoyed the jokes as much as we ourselves. When the curtains closed at last and drove the clown from the stage. Cushing led us in a good S. II. S. cheer, and everybody voted the affair a suc- cess. so much so that many asked, “Will the girls be able to present its equal?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 185 Cbc Concert of the Greater Boston ibtflb School Orchestra On Friday evening, May 22, at «S o'clock, at the well-known Jordan Hall, one pf the greatest of school undertakings is to be celebrated—an orchestral concert given by the Greater Boston High Schools, and led by Levon Eksergian of the Somerville High School. The object of this concert is to promote en- thusiastic interest in the High Schools of Greater Boston, in that they will be joined for a common purpose, namely—to produce the greatest piece, of music ever attempted by any high school or high schools; and also to promote a general interest in joint school activities, thereby laying the founda- tion for greater school undertakings in the future. Everybody in this High School is cordially in- vited to attend this concert, which will be well worth hearing. Gentlemen with their lady friends, ladies with their friends, seniors, juniors;-.sopho- mores. freshmen—all arc invited. The tickets may be obtained, shortly, for $1.00, 75 cents. 50 cents and a few for 25 cents. Three Somerville fellows have been added to the committee. Elmer Pilsbury. Supervising Manager: James C. Scanlon and Harold Wells. Somerville Managers. An example of the interest in this movement by -prominent men is shown, in-as-much as Governor Walsh is to give an opening address and also is to act as a patron; Dr. Karl Muck, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Colonel Henry L. Higginson, Mayors of the various cities of greater Boston. John A. Avery. Charles S. Clark and other authorities in school circles are to be patrons. George Pratt Maxim, who has helped the orchestra immensely from a musical stand- point. Mr. Chadwick and Carl Eaclton are also to- be patrons. We have been very fortunate in being able to secure the services of Madame Calvert. Boston's m st noted soprano soloist, who will render many favorable selections. The musical programme for the orchestra wilt be as follows:— 1— Morning, Noon ami Xight Overture. .Suppee 2— Militaire Symphony........................Haydn (a) A Sigh ......................Otto Crack (b) -Youth ..................Gilbertv Harris Madame Calvert, accompanied by orchestra, will sing the following number: Selection from Faust.....................Gounod Such a programme will be intensely interesting to everyone. Let everyone boom this undertak- ing and show other cities that Somerville High School is a High Schorl that will accomplish things. Everybody show up at Jordan Hall. May 22. without fail, if you want to hear a concert that will equal that of the Symphony Orchestra. flDcmbcoan ilslano [Continued from page is.-.j to dress the isle in beautiful tints: no brignily shining moon but softens its rugged outlines and gives to the passing mariner pleasing impressions of repose and grandeur.

To put on perpetual record and to testify to his friendship with them who knew him best, is my sad duty. Many, many students will remember their obli- gation to him as they entered upon the serious work of high school and his thorough, enthusias- tic teaching, not divorced from the teacher’s other greater duty, wise counsel and inspiration for the following years in their college preparation. So, too, will countless numbers remember his personal aid in securing positions to enable them to meet the financial needs of their college career. It is.not, however, to call attention to this side of his nature but to commemorate the noble work which lie wrought in the evening school to which he devoted many years of faithful service. It was my great privilege to teach in the same room with him for six years, and to sec a school developed along the most helpful and stimulating lines. There are young men and women in all •positions of city, state and national service who bless his name for the patience, thorough prepara- tion and broader outlook upon life which his teaching brought to them. His was a unique school, so filled with the kindly spirit of the genu- ine teacher that we still remember it as “one big family” (these are his words). No one was too ignorant to enter, no one departed until lie had conquered himself and possesed mental power adequate to his needs. To me lie was an elder brother, filling me with a love for tins work, directing, guiding, inspiring, so that it became service, not work. Never can there be another so close, so helpful. Every day. each succeeding year brought new problems and together we met them cheerfully because he. spar- ing neither time nor strength, had conceived the best solution. This intimacy revealed to me the source of Mr. Murray’s inspiration, lie was deeply religious and his life was a consecration to his work. Strong men do not speak of their inmost thoughts unless the barriers of reserve are broken by strong impact of fraternal and friendly ties. Many were the hours we spent in the greatest theme of all—immortality, lie knows now the answer to our wonderings and our questions. He has seen the loved ones who drew him to yonder country and no longer does lie ask with all the depths of a serious nature—what awaits beyond this life. How futile are words, how cold and unmeaning when the heart bursts to tell the truth as we know and feel it. If. however, these thoughts have found a re- sponsive echo in other hearts, and we live to per- petuate his work with his earnestness and his power, I shall not have written in vain. Farewell! A little time, and we Who knew thee well, and loved thee here, One after one shall follow thee As pilgrims through the gate of fear. Which opens on eternity.” Frank H. Wilkins.

Teacher: “Who was Albert Lee?” Dinan: “Albert Lee was sister to Alice Lee -cr-er-daughter of Henry Lee-er-er.” Dinan did a wise thing and sat down. It wouldn't be just right to mention the name of the person who, speaking of the story of “Ivan- hoc said something about “Prince Albert.” mean- ing. of course, “Prince John.” We feel sure that it isn't force of habit. Quotations from German: “The footprints of his horse sounded near!” and: “The water rose over, the sea!” Bright pupil (in English class): “All unneces- sary essentials should be omitted.” It is a great disappointment to have the Junior Committee announce that the annual Junior dance will be omitted this year. Never- theless. on Friday evening. May 22, the Junior Night will be celebrated. The complete arrange- ment of the entertainment will be announced in the May Radiator so keep that date closed.

Myers History of Greece : The Poet, Phrynichus, was fined one thou- sand drachmas for the recalling of their own mis- fortune. when he presented at Athens the drama entitled “Capture of Miletus. Since his time what other poet could possibly have furnished $180.00 under any circumstance? Have you seen Kellogg’s pocket mirror that he uses constantly? It is very cute, but what he can see in it that is worth lookng at, is a mystery to us all. There is no use in talking—Division 13 certainly makes brainy history recitations (?).

It seemed to be up to the Exchange Editor to provide some kind of amusement, so af- ter lunch she said. “Would you like to help me with my column?” The small brother looked in- different. “I have some candy.” she added as an inducement. The small brother came to life. “Don’t care if 1 do. he said. Comfortably seated in an arm-chair, surrounded by pillows, and with a goodly pile of handkerchiefs, he gave forth his edicts. “I like the cover design on the Artisan. M. A. II.

Some good jokes in their Exchange column. The Magnet from Leominster has the best literary department this month, said the Ex- change Editor. 1 like'that paper very much. Silence reigned for a while, then the small brother sneezed. This is only the fourth edition of the Spokesman. Mansfield. La.. he said. Haven't they done well in such a short time? “ I hey surely have. answered his sister. There's my little friend, the Imp. with its usual list of stories. The Blue Owl delights in charac- ter studies; two in one issue are rather too much. I think. “The Herald from Westfield has more athletics than anything else. I do like to see a paper in proportion. observed the small brother gravely. here did you get that word? laughed the Exchange Editor. The Bulletin from Montclair, N. J.. is a new exchange. Their idea of having a number devoted entirely to athletics is a new one. but there is a question as to its instructiveness.” “I like the arrangement in the Peningian, you know just where to look for everything. said the small brother. Yes. and you find that in few papers,” agreed his sister. “The Archon from Dununer is inter- esting. Their Column on Love and Sentiment” is a new institution. Silly. I call it. rejoined the small critic dis- dainfully. “Wish the Cushing Academy Breeze had a few more stories. The first word I think.of when I see the Spec- tator from Browne and Nichols, is “neat.

I’ve liked that paper ever since I first saw- it. The Iliad has a Suffrage Number! Votes for Women! shouted the impossible. That’s all right, it’s coming.” answered the Ex- change Editor.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I97 That was a grand reception which was tendered to Charles E. Brickley by the school. Charley also responded in a way, true to his enviable rep- utation as a gentleman and sportsman. His lit- tle extemporaneous talk on the absence of girls proved amusing to his audience. True to our expectations, our guest expatiated at length on the Somerville- Everett game of 1000. A few words on school athletics were spoken by Mr. Avery. Mr. Fitzgerald and Coach Saun- ders also made short speeches. Captain James Robertson, being called upon to speak, urged all to come out for the team. Mr. Sears, representing the athletic commit- tee as chairman of the meeting. Mr. Clark, although arriving late, gave a brief address. The occasion was a grand success. Our talented goal-tender of last season’s hockey team is now doing back-stop work on the nine. It seems his natural alertness added to his inces- sant and invulnerable line of chatter make him an excellent candidate for the position. The captaincy of next year's hockey team has been settled with Frankie Downing as the choice. Here's hoping I 'rank and his team will win the championship. To say the least, the outlook for a baseball championship this spring looks very promising. W e have with us the neucleus of last spring's nine,, and several other good men. In offering season-tickets for this spring's base- ball games at one dollar apiece, the athletic com- mittee iias shown a splendid spirit, and much con- sideration towards the students. Nothing would help the team more than five or six hundred attendants at each game, cheering for the Red and Blue to win. E. H. WELLINGTON, President E. A. F. BURTNETT, Treasurer WELLINGTON BUCK CO.

One was Rob Martin, the son of a Southerner, who bravely upheld that cause, while his chum, Jack Renton, was a firm believer in the rights of the North, but in spire of this difference they were close friends. They had roomed to- gether at the Academy for nearly four years, but were to part now as Rob was to eniist in the Southern Army, while Jack was on his way to join the Union Army. Well,” said Jack, I hope the next time we meet we will be as true friends as we are now, and that the North and South will have settled the dispute between them.” I only hope so Jack, and if ever you need help, remember me. said Rob as they reached the station, and lie boarded a train for the South. Neither dreamed how soon this help would be needed, or in what way. Two months later Jack, a soldier in the Union Army, was for the first time stationed on sentry duty. As he paced back and forth, keeping a sharp lookout on all sides for signs of the enemy, his thoughts turned to the happy days at the Acad- emy. and tt) his friend Rob. The long dreary hours of the night dragged slowly by. 11 is steps be- came slower and slower, and a terrible drowsiness seemed to have come over him. Fearful thoughts of the death and disgrace that would come to him if found asleep on duty kept him awake for a time. Thinking that perhaps he might be better able to stay awake by bracing himself against one of the trees along the lonely walk, lie did so, but in less than five minutes he was asleep. Meanwhile a spy from the Confederate camp, crop nearer and nearer to the form of the sleep ing sentry. The Confederate soldier, expecting that the sentry would be pacing back and forth on guard, looked with surprise at the form braced against the tree, lie crept still nearer and looked with amazement at the picture before him. Jack Renton asleep on sentry duty—for it was Rob who had been sent out as a spy from the Con- federate camp. Ouickly there Hashed through Rob’s mind the praise that was sure to come to him if he returned quickly and reported to the Con- federate camp the discovery he had made. How easy it would be to surprise the Union soldiers and capture their provisions and powder, of which as Rob knew, the Southern soldiers were sadly in need. Rut different thoughts now came to his mind as he knelt there almost beside the sleeping sentry. Thoughts of the days Jack and lie had spent to- gether: there long walks and confidential talks to- gether. and their deep friendship for each other. In another instant his mind was made up. lie had decided that it was far better he should lose all honor and praise, than that his friend should suffer through him. Softly lie crept to his friend’s side, shook him gently two or three times, then retired to hide in the thicket near the tree. In an instant Jack was wide awake, looking about him with a startled air, for he had forgotten for a moment where he was. It came upon him like a flash—lie had been asleep at hi post of duty—how fortunate that he had slept only a short time. He thought of what would have happened if he had slept till morning, and he thanked God, then and there, that he had awak- ened when he had. He vowed that he would never again fall asleep while on sentry duty. After knowing that Jack was wide awake, Bob crept back to the Confederate camp, but in the re- port to his superior officer he made no mention of the sleeping sentry. hi a far-off Northern home, a mother prayed each night for the safety of her absent boy, and little knew how her prayers had been answered by a !) y named Rob Martin, who had proved a true friend in need to her son, Jack Renton.

There she was sitting com- fortably in the morris chair with Foxy on her lap before the fireplace. Marion kept dozing off and on and between times wishing her chum. Helen, would come over with her two brothers. Bob and Harry, as she was all alone and the money her father had left at home was worrying her. Suddenly she heard a faint ringing of a bell, which seem to come from the kitchen. Going into the next room she called. “Marv, but upon receiving no answer, concluded that she was taking her afternoon nap. The bell rang again which con- firmed her belief that it was the back door bell. Marion went to the door, all the time wondering who it could be. but finding out that it was Helen, joyously opened the door. She noticed the pecu- liar and old-fashioned hat and coat Helen wore, and wondered what she was up to. as her face was flushed and her eyes sparkled with excitement. Without taking her hat and coat off. her chum told her the plot she had overheard the boys plan- ning. “The boys.” she whispered, almost fearing that they would hear her. “have watched me very closely to see that I did not come over here. After I learned their plans this morning. I suggested just to see what they would do and to make sure that they were going to follow out their plans, that we call you up and have you come over, knowing you were going to be alone. But. at once, the boys said they were too busy and very quickly changed the subject. When they saw me embroid- ering with mother they left off watching me. for which I was very glad because I could not think of any possible way to tell you. When I found the boys were not watching I told mother I was com- ing here for a minute or two. and for her to pre- tend I was still with her. Xow this is their plan: When it has just gone dark they are coming over here as burglars, to give you a scare and to see how brave you are. Now since you know their plans I must hurry back before they miss me. And be sure Marion, not to be frightened as it will only be the boys. After she had gone Marion went back to her comfortable chair anxiously waiting for it to grow dark. Taking a book from the table she tried to interest herself in it. but her thoughts were elsewhere. It had grown dark now and she was becoming more excited. There she sat barely moving a muscle. What was that? Did not that sound like the opening of a window! Yes, it must have been because she heard a mysterious sound in the dining room. She was very much alert now and was able to follow easily all their movements. Even Foxy had his ears pricked up and ready to jump at the command of her mistress, who was holding him very tight. The so-called burglars were in the silver drawer. Then there was a chinkling of the silver. They had left the dining room and were coming stealthily along the hall. They had gone into the library. Oh, would they never reach the living room. Why did they keep her in such a suspense? Somebody else was coming in the window. Who could it be? Had Bob or Harry forgotten something? Xow she heard the low murmuring of voices. All at once, as it seemed. Marion felt a gaze upon her and turning around to her amazement saw a real burglar standing in the doorway with his re- volver pointed at her. She then heard a sharp, gruff command: “Where is that money your father brought home? Tell me quick. Marion, too sur- prised to call for help, sat stunned and frightened when all of a sudden she heard the scurrying of feet along the hall and Bob's voice: ‘’It’s all right, Marion. We’ve got him.” Marion managed to walk over to the door and looking from the struggling burglar on the floor to the revolver that Harry was pointing at him gave a sharp cry and fainted into Bob’s arms. Marion child, why arc you not in bed at ibis time? Do you know that it is past midnight? said her mother. Marion, wakening suddenly, said. “Oh, mother. ! am glad you have come I have had a. dreadful dream.” 208 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ©ranbmotber's Httic 36 ? Etotb ID. Gilliatt, '17 06 , £y.) ACK and Ethel had l)een visiting their grandmother during the Christmas ' vacation, and now on the last clay of the visit they began to make plans for a dress party which was to take place a week after their return home. They bad just retired to the sitting room and turned their thoughts to the occasion when Ethel, jumping suddenly from her seat and laying her hands on her brother's shoulders, exclaimed: “Oh, I know! Surely we could find something in grandmother’s attic!' Before she had finished speaking she took Jack’s hand and led him toward the attic. After climbing up the ladder and through the opening, they stopped to survey the large unfin- ished, but by no means, unfurnished room. There were old-fashioned chairs, some with high backs and some with low backs, while others had no backs at all. A bureau of a style unknown to them and a four-poster bed interested them ex- tremely. Ethel went to the lied and examined it carefully: then turned and went toward the ladder saying that she intended to go immediately to her grandmother, and ask it she might have ttie bed. for it would be so pretty decorated with a lace covering, but she was stopped by Jack, who re- minded her that her room was altogether too small to accommodate a bed of that size with the other things which she had there. With her ex- pectations cast down she turned about, and pres- ently a spinning wheel took up her attention, and she stood with her foot on the treadle and watched the movements of the different parts. When her curiosity was satisfied she looked about for her brother, who she thought had been stand- ing right behind her. Jack,” she cried, “where are you ?” “Oh. I haven't gone far,” came from behind a pile of boxes. She went in that direction and found her brother seated on a table by the window, deeply interested in a magazine. A large number of newspapers and magazines yellowed with age were piled on the table beside him. Ethel picked a paper up and found to her surprise that it was dated February 10, ISO 1. and a heading at the top of the paper sug- gested that it contained news of the Civil War. She scanned the pages over and over. There were no pictures, and the printing was very poor, but the items were extremely interesting. Site picked up a magazine and—oh. what an interesting thing it was! The few illustrations were very rude and hard to understand. “Well.” said Jack, laying his magazine down, “you said that we would find something up here for the party, but I can see nothing in sight, and you don’t seem to be looking around much. “Very well, little brother. said Ethel teasingly, “come with me and we shall examine the contents of a chest which I saw under the eaves. Probably anything in the line of wearing apparel would be in that. Won't you pull it out farther so that the cover will stay up?” When the chest was moved to a more satisfac- tory place, and the cover lifted. Ethel took a pack- age of about thirty letters from one side. She al- ways loved to read letters. “Miss Maria Jane Brown. Norway, Maine. she read from the top envelope. ( h. Maria Brown was grandmother’s maiden name, and these arc probably letters which grand- father sent to her before they were married. I want to read a few.” taking one in her hand. But what did you come up here For, to read let- ters or find material for a party?” asked Jack. “Oh. I forgot.” laughed Ethel. Well, those can go downstairs and provide amusement for us this evening. She began to take things from the chest, and after enjoying their quaint styles, laying them in an old-fashioned cradle close by. There was a shawl about five feet square, woven in a very pretty ()ricntal design, several lace trimmed night caps, and four basques made of figured calico in colors such as black, yellow and white, and purple and yellow. Ethel pronounced the figures and colors “horrible. and Jack agreed with her on this, and said that if she chose any of them she would have to attend the party alone. Under these they Found some skirts of the same kind of cloth. Jack said that in all pictures that he had seen, the women wore hooped skirts with basques, but these cer- tainly did not look like hooped skirts. Their grandmother explained to them later that a wire frame, over which the skirts were worn, made the hooped skirt. Now came the more interesting things. A pair of while silk mits. and a bridal veil, much longer than the brides of todav wear, were rolled up in tissue paper. A pair of white slippers with high heels and long pointed toes, which were stuffed SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 209 with cotton lay in the box in which they had been bought. These were very prettily beaded and embroidered. At last their dress problem was solved, for here was their grandmother’s wedding dress, slippers, veil and mils, and their grand- father’s suit. The dress was trimmed with hand- crocheted lace. Jack said that a bouquet of violets would complete her costume, and that he would get some. The suit was just as old-fashioned as the dress; the pant-legs being tight and the coat hav- ing a cut-a-way effect. They packed the things away, put the chest in its place, and then gathered up the letters and clothing, and bade farewell to “grandmother's attic.” “Just ti'Clbat tbe IDoctor Orbereb” Bp Cltfforb D. Dams, T3 OCTOR AINSWORTH hung up the telephone receiver, and reached for his bag. more by force of habit than with any thought of needing to use it. Mr. Stewart is sick, is he? Well. I’d like to make a wager that he’ll be well before night, and ready to do a good day’s work again.” Thus thinking, he left his house and stepped into his waiting machine, giving orders to drive to Mr. Rcddock Stewart’s home, No. 0 Edi- son avenue.” During the short ride he sat pondering over the fun he was to have in answer to the summons sent him by Mr. Stewart, a wealthy banker, who had just stated over the wire that he was sick and unable to do a good day’s work. As the chauffeur drew next to the curb, before a large apartment hotel, in which only a choice few had suites, the osteopath, for such was Dr. Ainsworth, stepped gingerly up the steps, and was carried by the waiting elevator to the Stewart apartments. Not pausing to ring the bell, he opened the door and entered the reception hall, for like most men of his profession, he was not lacking in so-called nerve. Mr. Stewart was in the library, a maid informed him, and lie entered the said room to find his pa- tient reclining in an easy chair, feet elevated, and a large calabash pipe in his mouth, which looked more like a miniature Vesuvius in eruption than like a peaceful “Jimmy pipe.” The doctor said the usual good mornings, then drew a chair directly before the sick man, and seated himself in it. W ell, what ails you?” he began. That’s what T don't know, but want you to find out. the little man in the chair replied. I can't cat. can’t sleep, can hardly move about, and I don’t feel like doing anything.” The doctor chuckled inwardly, as the case was very plain to him now and practically cured, while visions of an exorbitant fee flashed before his eager eyes. What you need, my dear fellow, is a change, not a change of air and climate, but a change of con- ditions ; you have been accustomed to a daily rou- tine and your nerves have given away, for no man can thrive without a change from day to day. Now. what 1 will prescribe may seem a iittle queer to you, but it will fix you up like a new man in the course of a few hours if carried out ex- plicitly. You must put on your hat and coat and go into the street for a walk—a walk, remember! Leave your automobile behind. Then do anything or everything which you have never done before. Get arrested, start a fight, break a window, or do anything new, and I’ll call tomorrow to see your improvement. You don't need treatment. Hut,” —and up came his long forefinger threateningly — if you don’t carry out my orders to the word, I will not be responsible for your health, and pos- sibly your life. Good morning.” Before the astonished victim could gather his senses together, the doctor had taken his leave. Mr. Stewart sat back aghast. That was too foolish, he could never do anything such as the doctor wished, as lie would be disgraced, his family would leave him or have him sent away for safe-keeping. I hus lie sat the rest of the afternoon, refusing to heed the doctor's advice. As the large cathedral chimes tolled six, he arose, making tip his mind that instant to try part of the doctor's plans, lie left word with the maid that he would not return till late, then putting on his hat and coat, and picking up his cane, he left for a walk down town. A short stroll brought Stewart to an open field, where a few urchins were talking advantage of a light fall of snow of the previous day and were hurling the white bullets at passersby. For the first time in years. Stewart really noticed these youths, and spent several en- joyable minutes watching their fun. Supper time was approaching and a slight trace of hunger, something new to the invalid, but which he blamed on his walk, drew him to a medium-priced restau- rant. where he partook of a hearty meal. 210 SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR After paying his supper check, he again took up his walk, feeling benefited by a meal in a cheap restaurant, which was entirely new to one of his social standing. By this time the opera crowds were drawing up in their automobiles and fine regalia, and the sound of hearty laughter reached Stewart's ears, lie hurried toward the entrance of the Opera house and idly watched a few enter. One fine car stopped, and a lady escorted by a gentleman alighted; she was dressed gorgeously,while he was cloaked in a flashy topcoat and wore a tall silk hat. Mr. Stewart saw the hat and a picture of the snowball fight he had witnessed earlier in the even- ing took a firm stand before his eyes. Now for something different, it will be great. and without further thought he reached for a lump of ice. which lay at his feet. The ice in his hand, he calmly took aim. then fired! Off went the hat. “Ha, ha. ha. he had really done something un- usual and was ready to pay its cost. Several by- standers had also witnessed his fine shot and joined him in his Ha-haws. The owner of the hat immediately turned and seized the nearest person in his reach. This hap- pened to be Mr. Reddock Stewart, who was now convulsed in laughter. He stared at the culprit, drew back his arm as if to strike, but dropped it and fairly roared :— Man alive, did you do that, Stewart? Stewart looked up and nearly collapsed, for standing before him was Dr. Thornton Ainsworth, the prescriber of his unique cure. ‘T guess I did,” replied Stewart. “Did you know it was I whom you threw at?” tlte doctor questioned. No. I saw the hat and thought I would try your treatment. the guilty one replied. Well that's the best joke of the season; you certainly are cured, but I’ll never prescribe that treatment again. It has cost me a little pride and a new hat.” fleeter, tbe flberfect By? Boris XU.

Elizabeth King- man. who is Peter?” she demanded. All the way from the station all I heard was Peter this, and Peter that, and I don't know Peter from the man in the moon! Well, I don’t wonder you were puzzled. Nan . laughed Elizabeth. “Now you see what you missed not coming here last summer! Peter is our cousin—no. not yours! You necd’nt raise your eyebrows so.” I wondered if I'd been related to a Peter all these years.’' murmured Anne. All my relatives don’t have to be related to you. Anne Roberts!” I am thankful for that.” teased Anne. “But seriously, who is Peter, the Perfect?” Nan, be good, please! And don’t call Peter names: you’ll be sorry! 11 is name is Peter Hap- good. He spent last summer with us, and he’s the best fun!” •‘Are you girls going to come down to sup- per tonight?” shouted a voice. “We’re coming, Dicky,” Anne called back. ‘Don’t get impatient! ’Tisn’t good for your diges- tion i ’Tisn’t good for my digestion to wait all night for my supper, either!” “Come on. Nan. Elizabeth cried. Dick’s lungs and his temper will be ruined forever! Peter said once-----” Bother Peter! interrupted Anne. “There, there. I’m ready at last. But as she followed Elizabeth down stairs a surprised look crossed her face. I verily believe I’m jealous,” she said to herseif. jealous of Peter, the Perfect.” Anne hated the name before Monday came. Peter was the only subject of conversation in the Kingman family. It got so that Anne set her lips with impatience whenever she beared of the many perfections of Peter. Even that did not always keep back an exclamation, and on Sunday night, as the cousins sat on the veranda, she observed sweetly, that they had only mentioned Peter’s name twenty-nine times in the last thirty minutes. Dick looked at Elizabeth and choked; Elizabeth looked at Dick and scowled violently. Anne rose with dignity and left her cousins to themselves in their Peterfied atmosphere.” Evidently Nan doesn't like Peter. Dick chuckled. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 I “And Peter fairly hated the mention of Xan last summer ' returned Elizabeth. Will you ever forget the way he looked whenever we talked about her? And she’s such a dear, too!” ‘Sometimes!” grinned Dick. But Peter’s an all-right fellow, and oh, gee! Won't it be fun to watch them!” The next afternoon Elizabeth and Dick went to the station to meet their guest. Anne went too, frankly curious to see Peter, the Perfect, with her own eyes. At last the train came and Anne perched on a truck, watched the passengers as they came down the steps to the platform. Sud- denly the others made a rush for a tall fellow, who had just swung himself down from the train. So that’s Peter, the Perfect!” she exclaimed. Why he looks just like anybody else! 1 ex- pected something out of the ordinary, a gold crown and wings maybe!” She slid oil the truck and joined a group of her friends. They all walked home from the sta- tion in a crowd, but Xan took good care to keep away from Peter. Apparently lie did not notice her. but when he and Dick were alone, he de- manded. Who was the girl with the yellow hair that everyone was talking to? She was awfully pretty.” Gee whiz! Do you mean to say that you weren’t introduced to her? I thought Elizabeth saw to that!” Why the excitement? Who is she?” ‘‘That's Anne!” “Anne?” “Yes. Anne Roberts, our cousin!” “Oh!” It was a long, enlightened “oh.” “She’s the one you all talked so much about last sum- mer. is she?” Yes.” Dick said that when Peter and Anne were in- troduced they could have given points to anyone who ever wrote a book on etiquette, for two more coolly polite people never were seen, and as time went on they did not thaw out. It was late in July when the cottagers decided to have a picnic over on Longman’s Neck, five miles away on the other sijJe of the bay. They would go over in a hayrack, have a picnic supper, and come home by moonlight. Xo picnic was com- plete without Xan and her mandolin, but Anne was obliged to go to the city in the morning; and al- though she could come down on the afternoon train, there seemed to be no way of her getting to the Xeck for it was an understood fact that Anne was not to attempt to drive a horse if she ever expected to get to her destination. The horse and she always had a difference of opinion, and the horse always won out. It was not even safe to leave her in a carriage holding the reins, while one went into a store, for she might be half a mile away when one got back. Elizabeth settled that difficulty. Either Dick or I will wait and drive over with you.” she said. So it was with the expectation of seeing one of her cousins that Anne stepped off the train, but, lo and behold, instead Peter, the Perfect, sat in the carriage. He hurriedly explained that for some reason, Xan did not rightly understand what, Elizabeth and Dick had both gone ahead. Anne had her sus- picions f that reason. There was nothing eisc t be done, so she climbed in beside him and they started. It was when they turned into tiie shore road that ntie first noticed that cloud-like bank off to seaward, and she turned to Peter, saying. “Make Dolly go faster or we’ll probably get caught in the fog! But old Dolly’s fastest was only a jerky bounce, and Anne watched the fog coming in. The shore road was a bad place to be caught in the fog. for it had so many little sidetracks leading from it. W ithout a light how could they ever tell which led down the Xeck? Soon it was as hard to see ahead, but Anne gave a sigh of relief as they came to a branch road, somewhat better-traveled. 'I bis must be the one. Peter had stopped the horse and was looking about with a puzzled expression. Then he started to drive on. Turn in.” commanded Xan. that's the one down the Xeck. Are you sure? queried Peter. I don't think it is. but it maybe. It needed only that to make Anne positive. I am. she snapped. Don’t you suppose I know?” Silently Peter turned Dolly down into the nar- row road. But little bv little. Anne grew uneasy. Was this the one? Somehow—somehow it did not look familiar. The fog drifted in. thicker and grayer. On they went. Peter was silent, and Xan would not tell her doubts. And still they went on. If they had been on the Xeck road, they would have reached the others long ago. At last Peter stopped Dolly. Are you sure this is the road?’’ he asked sarcastically. Before Anne could answer, somewhere ahead of them rose a chorus of shouts, and then a ioud scream, followed by louder laughter and angry 212 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR voices. Anne’s face grew white and she sat almost rigid. “What's the matter?” demanded Peter, trying to start Dolly on. Before Nan found her voice to answer, there was a sharp crack, then another and another. With shaking lingers Anne gripped Peter. “Quickshe gasped. Turn around and drive back as fast as you can! This must be the Settle- ment road! For a minute the uproar died down, and Peter tried desperately to turn Dolly; then a high, shrill voice arose, You will, will you!” it shrieked. “Take this then! There was another shot and something whizzed by Anne, making its way over Dolly's back. With a wild snort of pain, Dolly set off. the wagon bumping and pouncing along on two wheels. 1’cter hung to the reins and Anne clutched Peter to avoid being thrown out. The Settlement road! The very name struck terror to Anne, and Peter had heard enough of it to know that the farther away they got the better. Down on one of the points that ran out into the bay was a settlement of foreigners. They seemed a mixture of all races, but were noted chiefly for their general lawlessness. No one from the sum- mer cottages across the bay ever ventured down the Settlement road, but instead gave it a wide berth. They were nearly back to the main road before Peter pulled Dolly into an even gait, and before Anne recovered enough from her fright, to begin to think. And then she waxed wroth. She was furious at herself for making such a mistake, and at Peter for allowing her to make it. He might have known! she thought, angrily. Then it oc- curred to her that if. with her life-long experience with the shore road and its branches, she had made such a mistake, it was hardly fair to expect Peter, who had spent only one year at the bay. to do better, and besides he had expressed a decided doubt. Put these reflections did not soothe her temper in the least. “Hark! Peter had been listening as they ap- proached the main road. In a moment more the hayrack rumbled past the end of the road. “Hi , •there! yelled Peter. Wait a minute! “That you. Pete? came Dick's voice. “Where are von at anyway?” What are you doing here? That was Eliz- abeth. Anne Roberts, we’ve been worried to death! Did you get lost or what?” It was my fault, Elizabeth,” Peter called. “We couldn’t see much in the fog, but I was dead sure this was the way. and we must have got near the jumping-off place before I decided it wasn't. Anne gasped, and then, for Anne was honest in taking iter rightful blame, opened her lips to pro- test. I----” Shut up. commanded Peter and through sheer astonishment Anne was silent. It was about ten o'clock the next morning when Dick, who had been up to the store, appeared, calling for Anne. Anybody’d think there was a fire! grumbled that young person. Well, what is the matter? I say. how far did you go down the Settle- ment road last night? Dick demanded. Quite a way, Anne admitted. How near the Settlement were you?” What do you want to know for anyway?” Well, they say up at the store that they had a jamboree down there last night, and it ended in a free-for-all fight. Most of 'em were shot up, and three or four of the whole ones are in the lock- up. How under the canopy did Pete happen to make such a mistake?” If you want to know, Dick Kingman, I was to blame for that, and Peter didn’t have anything' to do about it. He didn't think it was the right road but I vowed it was!” Dick stared, open-eyed, but Anne swept on, And now I want to know where Peter is,” she ended. Dick recovered enough to wave a com- prehensive hand toward the back of the house, and Anne stalked off with her head in the air. Put why in the world did you say tnat?” she demanded of Peter a few minutes later. Peter reddened even to his ears. “Wel-1, he hesitated, I knew how you hated to admit it, and, well. I didn't want you to be any madder at me than you were.” Peter. Anne said seriously, I’ve been prettv much of a fool this summer, and Pm sorry. If you'll let me. I'd like to be friends now!” Sure! declared Peter beaming. I say, Anne, it s been my fault as much as yours all summer, but I’ve wished all along we could be friends!” W by. do you know. Anne remarked slowly, I believe 1 have, too! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 213 EDITORIAL'S Following the example of the Seniors, this year the junior class has decided not to have their annual Junior Prom, but instead arc to give a “Cabaret and Prom which will be a strictly class affair. The date has been set for May 27, and as the admission is very reasonable and within the reach of all, every Junior ought to consider it his duty to be present that evening. r r ► On May 22, the concert of the Greater Boston High School Orchestra will be given at Jordan Hall, Boston; and as this is the first big event to be given by any institution like this, the results are eagerly awaited. Somervillians, this move- ment was organized by a member of our high school, and it remains to us to show the proper spirit and to sec that this event is a huge success. k r. The baseball team has fulfilled its early promise of being excellent, and is already well on its way towards that much longed for championship. It has the spirit which has been lacking in our teams of late years, and the boys start after each game from the very first, never giving up, whatever the handicap, with a result that we arc now well in the lead of the suburban league and look fit to maintain that position throughout the remainder of the season. r r r Senior Girls! Here’s for simple graduation gowns! Let the silks and satins be relegated to the ballroom arid the wedding—and may the simple cotton, muslin, crepe or voile dress appear on graduation evening to show that we truly be- lieve the democratic principles we have been taught during these four years. Let us not ex- hibit the spirit of “showing off. May it be said of the class of 3914 that the girls sufficiently re- spected the wishes of the school board and the teachers to be willing to merge themselves in the whole mass. It is the last thing we can do—girls— to show our class spirit and our loyalty to our classmates and our teachers. Let’s vie with one another in simplicity! r Only one month left, Seniors! then, graduation. Let us make it the most enjoyable and most pro- fitable one of our entire high school course. r The school savings bank system, which has been so successfully operated in the grammar schools throughout the city, has, after much careful plan- ning been established in our high school. Our school bank, as it is called, is situated in the corri- dor of the third floor of the East Building, and will be opened for business, as soon as the directors from each class will have been chosen, and informed of their duties. Every pupil should be willing to deposit at least ten cents a week, the minimum amount received to make this institu- tion a success. It will, doubtless, be of interest to the Senior class to know that the speaker at our graduation exercises this year will be Robert Lincoln O’Brien, the editor of the Boston Herald. 214 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Scbool Ulews ! Girls’ Entertainment m lUalter X. XQilcs, ’14 Friday afternoon. April 24. at 1 o’clock, the school assembled in the Hall to enjoy the enter- tainment presented by the girl talent of the school. The young ladies’ section of the orchestra first gave a few selections. Miss Mackay, T3, sang a soprano solo and then the Girls’ Glee Club made its first appearance before the school and sang very creditably. Then came the surprise when the programme card was uncovered and we learned that an original play was to be presented, “The Best Seller.” It was a very interesting, life-like sketch. Miss Dooling, of the Freshman class, for the fourth number, entertained us with a cornet solo for which she was enthusiastically encored. Another ingenious sketch followed, “Courage Personified,” a burlesque upon the Suffragette, and a song, “Tit for 'Pat,” sung by Miss Mackay, and acted in pantomime by two of the girls, who showed much dramatic ability. Between the pres- entation of these little plays, the “Ginger Bread Man” was sung in a very pleasing manner by the Glee Club. 'Pile hour ended with the school song as all joined in making the walls ring with its glorious melody, and we departed feeling that the success of the previous entertainment by the boys had been equalled. Concert of THlgb School ©rcbestra Friday Evening May 29, T4 Eight P. M. SENIORS.JUNIORS, SOPHOMORES, and FRESHMEN remember that date. On that evening for the first time in the history of the school the High School Orchestra will give a concert. On several occasions the orchestra has been called upon to participate in some school event, but this time the orchestra is to give a con- cert unaided by any other school organization and we need and want your support. For several months the members have earnestly worked for the best results and now we ask for your audience to show you what we have accomplished. We belong to you and are with you throughout each year to the last minute of your High School life when we play the final march at graduation. Don’t wait until then to show your appreciation of us, but show your school spirit and be with us on May 29th. The programme has been thoughtfully planned in order that all may be satisfied. The orchestra, composed of forty-five pieces will render four selections; three of the members will give solos. and for variety we have engaged Miss Erdine Cowlishaw. of Cambridge, to give three readings. 'I ickets may be procured from any of the members, and at other places designated on the posters, for twenty-five cents each. We want you all as patrons.

Are you going to finish strong: will you be ready to rejoice when it is over, or will you drop by the wayside? Pd rather be a drop in the Senior bucket than be the “biggest P. G.” next year. —Stude. Do you know what you arc going to do next year? Happy are ye if ye have known in months past and have laid a firm foundation. If you arc going to college, prepared to shed glory upon grand old S. H. S., and to add laurels to your new Alma Mater. If you enter business, go prepared to succeed and to give something to the world. “Acestes last, jumps from the bottom of the helmet.”—From Scanlon’s translation of the Aeneid. Whittaker. Starbird savs that “he pushed over the sea.” We don't doubt it in the least, George. Is that how the Pacific ocean became embedded beyond the Rockies? This is to remind Nason that he must not talk to Miss-------during the Greek recitation. A good motto with which to decorate our dor- mitory rooms next year: Let us hang together or we shall hang separately!” It won't make any difference though if the .Sophs have anything to say about it whether we heed it or not, for wc shall probably hang anyway.” Hats off to our baseball heroes. Don't you wish that you were one of them? There is a chance for everyone on the track team. It is not too late now; go out and show some school spirit. Now is the time to exchange photographs. Twenty-five years from now it will almost be as good as a reunion to get out the old pictures and recall JIM-1 days. Our class is well represented on the nine this year. In the box wc have Ray, Moore and Wil- kinson. Behind the bat. Harry Robertson is be- ginning to shine. Jim i like the proverbial barn door at first base, and Hirshson on second, covers the ground. Hyde � s also our’s from the veteran squad. Was the Soiree a success? Wc should put it the other way. Who didn’t have a good time? We have sente “dramatists-to-be” in the school. 216 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR as was shown by the entertainment furnished by the suffragettes in our midst a few weeks ago. What has a mouse to do with voting anyway? Only two weeks more to think up a note tor your Senior column. Inquiring l'reshman: “Why did the Greeks make so many statues without heads or arms? Help your Class Day Committee to make the exercises a success on Class Day. Those elected are: Marjory Kilgore. Norman Ray, and Irving Hall, together with Myrton Evans, and Harold Van L'miner sen, from 1915-A. Our orator this year is Clinton Carvell. May he turn out to he a second Daniel Webster. A funny thing about the clam is that it doesn t clamor. A funny thing about the cat is that it doesn't cater. Rut whet? you add to these the mat it really doesn’t matter. Begin to save up that quarter for the June Radiator. It really will be worth getting and a fitting souvenir of your last year in S. H. S. There is a silver lining to every cloud, but some of us are not good enough tailors to get it out. We have heard of people having a well of knowledge at their disposal, but our class is dis- tinguished by one who has Wells of knowledge. Once in a while Harold let’s the staff draw from one of his stores of wisdom for which we are very thankful. If we could only thank the rest of you for the same reason. Four o’clock looks quite familiar upon the school clocks (when they tell correct time) to some of us. Cheer up, the more knowledge (?) we put on paper, the nearer we arc to graduation and college. Some of us doubt whether we know how to tell time at all. Soon we shall be by-gones. Arc we leaving a good taste behind us? Have you noticed the many activities carried on by the school this year and the spirit which has been aroused? It is all happening in 1914 and much of it under our direction or influence. Don’t be a quitter on the home stretch. A. P. G. doesn’t fit very well. I lyde claims that the first thing he ever liked at school was his nickname, “Driftwood.” This is a call for contributions toward a high chair for Nason. Heard in German IV. D:— Wiley: “ la. ich ist.” Sharkey : “Mein du sind.” Hirshson does not need the ball field to make good. He recently entertained the school at the first entertainment. W e have from reliable authority (Lipkind), that Aeneas was married one and one-half times. Dido was the half-wife. 1915-A Class Editor, Myrton Evans. Assistant, Walter Coleman. Wasn’t that a beautiful column we had in the last Radiator? Who shall we blame it on to? If the coat fits, wear it. From the latest reports. Miss L—r-----------is still waiting. Miss M-------m has been making some brilliant recitations in History lately. Yes. what?? There’s no use talking, when Frisby gets started on one of those spasms there is no 'hopes for any one else. $----1. look out or you may have to occupy a private room like R--------n. Moore—our first-string pitcher. Carpenter says he is going to College. Con- fidence goes a long ways at times. Walsh is in the same predicament, only he knows he can never get there. Only a month more and then a good, well-earned rest. F-----'s cry:— “Votes for Women!” Miss Wood made a very acceptable suffragette in the girls’ entertainment. Next month's Radiator will be the last this year. We want some good notes to close up with. Remember!! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 217 Clean-up and Paint-up week has gone by. What did you do to help the cause along? Here's hoping you a pleasant 30th of May and a Merry 17th of June. Hip, hip, hip.—Rood is going to Mexico (Mek- hi-co). You have our warmest sympathy, Ralph, for we may never look upon your fair countenance again. Frisby has decided to accept a position at one of the leading theatres to play the part of Ham in Hamlet. Fiske and MacLellan—the Harvard Geometry sharks. We forgot to say that Walsh is with the same company as Frisby as the spot in the spotlight. Which do you mean. Rube, epitaph, or epithet? Miss Morrill says that there is a Lake Ticonder- oga. We’re from Missouri, Hazel. The book must have been different in 1775 than thev are now. Miss Brown. What we have been doing during vacation:— Making money suing the City of Boston. (Rob- inson.) Trying to win a few games with the help of the umpire and Ralph Murphy. (Smith.) Dancing. When not, looking for a girl to take to the next one. (Kendall.) Making big money selling tickets for the Senior Banquet. (Cushing.) Preparing their new theatre for opening. (Spears, Sammett, Coleman.) Borrowing two dollars to take his girl to the Banquet. (Moore.) Looking for Minute Men behind brooks. (Miss Brown.) Freshman (to bright Senior): “What are you going to do with fifty pictures?” Bright Senior: “The only way I can get rid of them is to have a conductor give them out as transfers.” Smith and Coleman have changed names. Cole- man gets a good mark for doing nothing, while Smith gets excellent (?) marks in deportment. Margaret Malcolnison knows more about the capture of Ticonderoga than the history. Miss Sutherland’s elucidation in English oit “The Effect of Crime on Macbeth, was illumina- ting in the extreme. The English class is at present trying to de- cide whether Macbeth ever called Lady Macbeth a “chicken.” Our Dutch” class, after reading: “Hofer ais die Kirfer now knows where the expres- sion. “hotter than Dutch love” came from. For Sale—A bicycle. Apply to Frisby. 1915-A needs two home rooms. Mr. W------------ savs so. 1915-B Class Editor, John H. Chipman. Assistant. Ernest Giroux. Teacher in Latin class: “What is the word for sickness?” Pupil: “Doctor.” Junior, No. 3 : Do you think it is going to rain?” Junior, No. 2: “No, Toomey has his umbrella.” Little puzzle: “It we stopped dancing “The Hesitation” would the “Tango?” Some of the girls still think that it is a paint- up week. Teacher: Tomorrow’s lesson is chapters 14, 15, 1(5.” “Jones, what is the lesson?” Jones: “C hapters 24, 25, 2f .” Clean up to be neat Paint up to be bright Lift up to be good Study up to be smart Look up to see higher Be up to be early And: Stay up to be up. It has been suggested either unbrellas or life preservers be supplied in 214. Pupils of 214 : Are you “Aetna-ized?” Who was it said that every knock was not a boost? Have you noticed the way the new dances are disappearing? 218 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The plaster storm in 214 was not molecular. Dinan thought it a good plan to upset the waste basket tor “Clean-up week.” Perhaps a magnet can’t attract a silver churn, but somehow Derby's head seems to be a chalk magnet. Heard in Div. D.:— “T he Gauls were light-headed and attacked the Romans like mowing hay.” Juniors, just one month more to make up E’s and I Vs! before the year’s over, see if 1915 can’t have the best class percentage. How we felt in our Freshman vear:— 1915 How we felt last year:— 1915 Ilow we feel this year:— 1915 How we’ll feel next year:— � Teacher: “What is ‘building a forum?’” Bickford: “Building a space.” Westerberg lost his umbrella the other day so he is often seen entering the store over the door of which is the sign: “Umbrellas recovered.” The boys of Room 214 received their “message from above’’ ccrtajnly when the ceiling fell on their heads. Do you sec the dent in the top of the door way? Yes, who did it?’’ Dinan bumped his head when going into 111. There was a rush, a tumble, a commotion and roar. Disturbance displayed all over the floor. Who was missing? Taff. Hamlin can speak three languages. Samples:— Xie maun zu Hause. Personne n’ est a la maison. Xcmo est domo. And in Yankee:— “Nobody’s Home.” 1916-A Class Editor, Carl E. Newton. Assistant, James 1� . Kellogg. Extract from a theme in Div. B: This funeral banquet was a sort of reunion of the deceased re- lations.” Teacher: “Es wird bald Friikling, da werden die Vogel ihre Nester bauen. A nice long one—Mr. Stockwell.” It was a question whether the sen- tence or Stockwell was meant, but Div. B finally decided that Stockwell was “the long one.” Mills (trying to give name of a German tribe): “They were the Bat eyes,—er—Battys? Oh, no! It was Cat eyes.” Johansen finds it impossible to blow out Ekser- gian’s necktie. Teacher: “What is the class and gender of Thrancn ?” Ek----n : “Weak declension : feminine gender.” Teacher: “Why is it feminine?” Ek----n : “Because they are the most popular in the class.” Have you heard other people make this com- ment on their report cards?: “Aw,—I’d oughta got A in that subject an’ he only gave me D!” Tibbetts wanted to know if you should walk to New York behind a brass band, whether or not you could come back on the sound. Teacher (in Algebra): “Can’t you come to take the list, Miss G---s?” Miss G------s: “No, I’m engaged.” Teacher: “Arc you engaged tomorrow?” Murray: Aw she’s engaged for life.” (lie ought to know.) Have you noticed how quickly Adam writes on the blackboard? Juniors! The next issue is the June Radiator. Let us make our column the very best of all. We can only hope to do this with the contributions, help and co-operation of everyone. This includes You! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 219 1916-B Class Editor, Arnold Murray. Assistant, John Chequer. Div.

Have you seen St. Angelo hit the ball? And even Travers and Mur- phy are showing some class. Have you seen :— Shcpardson carrying home books? Whittaker's smile? Collins’s latest neckties? Brower's pretty complexion? Pratt’s “feet”? Well! If you haven’t, you must be blind. Some ancient characters modernized :— God of grace—“Apollo’’ Hayden. “Alcibiades Phillips. ‘‘Socrates” Nickerson. “Epaminondas” Gay. A question that cannot be answered or at least has not been answered yet:— “Where can Shcpardson put his feet?” Miss Egcrton in making a speech, has the as- sistance of the “Hoods.” Remember the June Radiator! Keep up the reputation of OCR Class and send in notes to the Editor. Division J was much surprised when they en- tered 223 and saw the bright display of yellow on one side of the room. After careful investigation by our renowned sleuth. Martin, it was discovered that it was only some more of those “suffering gas jets.” Classmates: At a recent meeting held in 322 for candidates for the Sophomore Baseball Team, only a very few attended the meeting. How are we going to do things when we are Juniors and Seniors if we do not develop our class spirit in our Sophomore year? The next time a meeting is called, have some class spirit and help to fill the room rather than take no interest at all and leave the work for others to do while you remain a fol- lower.

Congratulations—Baseball Team. 1917-A Class Editor, John H. Brewer. Assistant, Harold C. Crumby. Heard in the Science class:— Instructor: “What is the unit of heat?” Student (who has not been paying attention): “Er—what sir.” Instructor: “That is correct,—watts.” A short, spirited reading of the “Hoodoo” in Geometry proved fatal to the reputation of our esteemed detective. C-----ip. Miss I.-----m. in telling what a triangle was, mentioned the fact hitherto unknown to the great students of Geometry. It.was something about three in one or two in one wasn't it. Miss L---m. Teacher : “Whose pencil is this I have?” Grim—s: If it’s chewed on the end it’s mine I’m pretty sure.

We don't know. Ask McK------------1. He is the Science shark. “OUR TO BF S.” Hadley and Everett arc to be our giants. MKs Weber is to be our play writer. Miss Lyle (and her bag) is to be our lawyer. irinnnons is to be our motorcycle rider. Love is to be our professional nut. The following are several answers taken from a History examination:— The Rosetta Stone was a missionary to Turkey. The invention of the steamboat caused a net- work of livers to spring up. We hereby appoint “Red” Hammond, fifteenth assistant editor in charge of his division. Now if you people from his division have any notes, just give them to Hammond. Heard regularly in Science: “I want to see Miss Fitz-----e after class please.

Assistant, Winifred Stackpole. We have become acquainted with a great many long words, but for some reason Indemnity had us guessing in History I-A. Bright pupil: “If Rome’s battles in the first Punic War were naval battles, how did she acquire land from Carthage? Teacher: ‘I should think she would have taken the sea then.” It was suggested that Groves and Duffy better keep their seats in Algebra I A before they fall down. O’Donnell is very fond of multiplication and therefore obtains big numbers from small figures. Among other things we have found that B—k—r is a detective. He is able to tell who sharpens pencils and leaves the shavings upon his desk. Success for the future. Charles.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 223 “Em so busy these last few weeks of school that 1 don’t see where I’m going to find time to write a column, especially before Wednesday,” sighed the Exchange Editor. “O! for an inspiration!” She sat chewing the end of her penholder for a moment, then she sprang up, “I've got it!” she cried. I’ll call then all up on the telephone and let them know what I think of them, then they won’t feel slighted and I won’t have to write out a whole pile of stuff.” and she ran downstairs to the telephone. Half way there she stopped. Good- ness! It will cost a heap, especially to Texas and California, but I reckon my time is as valuable as that.” “Hello! Is this the Cap Rock. Amarillo? I’m saving time by calling you up instead of writing you out, this time. Your paper would present a better appearance if you didn’t scatter your ad- vertisements through it, but kept them all to- gether. Otherwise it does very well. What’s that? O. thank you. Yes. Good-bye.” Lawrence Bulletin? I just called you up to compliment you on your poem, “The Precious Letter,” in the March issue. It is one of the best school poems we have seen this year.” “Hello!

Your jokes are quite the funniest things 1 ever read.” “Hello, Odyssey? Your color scheme is very good this time. It’s too bad you can’t scare up more than one story. Thanks for remembering us.” “The Wreath, Sebago. Maine? Thank you for your copy. We enjoyed your paper very much. Your stories are plentiful and interesting.

Except for a little let-up and some loose playing the game would have been a shut out. Somerville easily had the game in her hands throughout the nine innings. Captain Jim Robertson batted like a big leaguer getting two singles and a three bagger out of four times at the bat. In the last of the eighth the Latin School twirier got careless and hit Bianchi in the back, lie then hit Wilkinson and a minute later hit Frank Downing a terrific blow in the head, but Frank pluckily staggered to first and time was called to allow the three victims repair damages. Somerville made the first three runs with two outs. Ford started things with a clean three- bagger and scored on Harry’s hit. Hirshson then drove out a two-bagger which would have gone for a homer except for the fence on the edge of the brook, scoring Harry. Jim then singled to right sending Shrimp around in the second with two gone. Frank tapped one to the left garden for two bags but was caught napping on third. St. Angelo walked. In the third Jim made a three bagger and score on Tony's hit. Another hit and three errors added two more runs. The score: SOMERVILLE. b.h. p.o. a. e.

The lone tally Billy Fitzgerald allowed during the game came as a result of a pair doubles, both of which can be attributed to the ground rules that prevailed. He was in perfect shape and held the Melrose team to four hits. The Red and Blue sluggers, however, helped them- selves freely to the offerings of the Melrose twirlers. In the fifth Somerville started things, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 225 Tony doubled and Fitz reached .first on an error. Roth scored on clean hits by Downing and St. Angelo. Melrose scored in the next inning on doubles by Dyckc and Ross. St. Angelo doubled in the next inning and scored on singles by Ford and Jim. Three more runs were added by the Red and Blue in the ninth. Melrose threatened to score in the last of the ninth but a pretty double play executed by Hirshson and Jim Robertson put an end to their aspirations. Jim. St. Angelo, and Ford all batted like big leaguers during the game. Jim Hyde thrilled the whole crowd on a sensational one-hand catch. Hirshson, Bianchi and Downing fielded well.

The youngster who started in the box for Ded- ham was very effective for the first few innings and in fact, pitched a steady game straight through, but the errors of his teammates were his undoing. Mr. Sprague, formerly of our school, now principal of the Dedham High School, was present at the game and when cheered responded with a wave of his hat which showed that there is still a spark of the Somerville spirit alive within him. To those who knew him. however, he would have seemed much more realistic performing on the diamond in his old “Cubs uniform or de- livering an address on the Ethics of the School- room.” Ray pitched a steady game for Somerville as the score indicates, while the home team con- tinued to increase its batting average. ----------------------------- H Close Game In a day as bleak and cold as any gridiron warrior could desire, the Red and Blue team fought through nine long innings at the Fulton Street Grounds with Medford High: Medford played, good and fought hard to win but to no avail. From the moment play ball” was declared by the umpire, Somerville started after Medford and before two innings had passed a total of four runs had been scored on five hits. Noyes the Medford twirler then tightened up and held the Red and Blue sluggers safely until the sixth inn- ing when three more lusty swats were registered. Medford scored one in the seventh and eighth. In the ninth inning Tibbetts, who had been pitching an admirable game weakened and was touched for a bunch of hits resulting in three runs. During the game a protest was made based on Umpire Fitzgerald's ruling on Sullivan, the Medford centre fielder, who romped over the plate with Doyle when the bases were filled and Bill Fitz- gerald handed Laird with a base on balls. The decision sent the player back to third. Harry 226 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR threw the ball to Downing and the ball rolled into the field, Sullivan coming home.

For five innings Somer- ville had the game on ice but in the sixth Bill Fitzgerald who pitched a sterling game was touched for a bunch of hits which took the heart out of the team and loose playing resulted giving Everett the game. In the second inning Hirshson was hit and walked. Jim likewise got his ticket for first. Tony tried to send them around but ran into his bunt and was out. Jim Hyde and Bill Fitz both hit safely scoring Jim and Hirshson. Hyde scored on Downing's sacrifice. Ford drove a beautiful one scoring Fitz. St. Angelo walked and Harry Hied to deep centre. In the sixth Harry leaned on the pill scoring Ford. Everett scored in the first and in the third an- other run came in as a gift. Somerville’s Jinx arrived in the fifth inning. Driscoll hit a hot one to third Frankie letting it get away from him. Silva bluffed at being hit and during the dis- cussion Driscoll strolled to second. After that Somerville lost her nerve and the game went in the air. Silva hit safely and Fitzgerald drove one to right field scoring Driscoll and Silva. J. Durant hit a bad one to Ford. Fitz and Durant walked on a passed ball and scored on I). Durant’s hit. Brickley then hit and reached first but forced Durant out. He advanced and reached third, when Harry let another one get by him, and reached home on Bennett’s hit. The remainder Fitz tightened and held them safely. The score:— SOMERVILLE. b.h. p.o. a. c.

Great rivalry had arisen on account of the win of the Brown and W hite over W altham, and the victory of the Red and Blue was well appreciated. A large crowd showed up although the weather was miserable. In the beginning of the game Rindge wanted the game called on account of a heavy downpour of rain, but Coach Saunders insisted on playing it out and the rain soon cleared away. The game was marked by many brilliant plays and fast all round playing on both teams. The Red and Blue stars took an early lead and held it by errorless playing and many long and fierce drives. The work of the infield exceptionally Frank Downing was very creditable. Bill Fitz- gerald pitched a very steady game. The eighth inning was Rindge’s lucky one and they scored two runs. In the ninth they made another desperate attempt to score. Kelley hit safely but was caught napping on first. Harvey fanned. White smashed a terrific single to right but was caught stealing second on a fine throw by Harry, thus ending the game. The score:— SOMERVILLE. b.h. p.o. a. e.

May ! , the Red and Blue cinched its hold on first place in the Suburban League. The game was closer than many had expected, but Somerville was present with the wallop on the pinch. Tibbetts our freshman slab artist was in big league form pitching excellent ball for eight inn- ings. at which juncture Billy Fitzgerald rendered his services with the usual degree of success. The game went smoothly until the eighth inn- ing. in the following session Malden tied. Som- erville was unable to score in the last of the ninth and the game went for extra innings. Flanders, Malden’s star, was sent to the rescue but in the tenth was weighed in the balance and found wanting. The work of Billy Fitzgerald has been of such a high grade that in our estimation he must be ranked as the steadiest and most reliable twirler in the league. Jim Robertson hit the ball hard as did Harry. Hirshson and St. Angelo, the latter reaching first three times. The winning run was scored on singles by J. Robertson and Hirshson and a hit to centre by Bianchi. The score:— 228 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SOMERVILLE. b.h. p.o. a. c.

Tony Rianchi certainly is tapping the pill like a big leaguer these days. Keep it up Tony old boy. The Red and Blue certainly arc fortunate in having a twirling artist on hand like Bill Fitz- gerald. Also that batting average is rising daily. Everyone should be out for track and help Coach Mahoney turn out a winning team in that suburban meet. It certainly looks as if Captain Jim was trying for a place in the big leagues according to that batting average of his. Lets hope we will sec our Jim ip the leagues some day. Xcver mind that defeat from Everett, boys we still have three more chances to lower the colors of the team Charlie Brickley said Somerville could not beat. Cutey Robertson certainly is quite a backstop. Frankie Downing is covering the third sack in grand style this year. The team is lucky in having a man on the pitch- ing staff like Tibbetts. Ford and Hirshson are playing the Evers— Maranville style nowadays. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 229 :: Compliments of :: Z. E. CLIFF, Mayor E. H. WELLINGTON, President E. A. F.

Every national power which has ever existed has left to the world sonic token of its civiliza- tion. Every great nation has at some time in its history picked up the golden thread of culture and has woven out of it some one thing which no nation has ever succeeded in surpassing. No nation has attained perfection in every phase of civilization but many nations have contributed some definite work some high ideal for the bene- fit of mankind Let us turn back to the ancient nations of the world. Athens as an exponent of Greek civiliza- tion added her share and more than her share to the culture of the world. Surrounding tribes paid homage to her superiority. The one great ideal of Athens was that of harmony i nart, in architec- ture. drama and sculpture. The ancient Phoeni- cians excelled all others in the manufacture of dyes and the modern world has never been able to attain the same degree of perfection—of beauty —of durability. Damascus will ever be remem- bered as tlic home of a perfectly tempered steel a steel which unlike that of today, was not subject to the influence of rust. Probably no ancient nation large or small had power as well rounded, as proportional as was that of Rome. Her mili- tary and state organization were the framework which kept the Roman empire from tottering and in this organization, the system of government with its minute detail, with its high ideal of citizen- ship stands revealed. The demands of an aristocracy gave the Roman people a magnificent opportunity to define and establish a high standard of citizenship and so successful were they in conceiving such a standard that today we remember Rome as the birthplace of our more modern forms of govern- ment. Yet on the other hand the Romans had not the slightest idea of the true position they might have occupied among nations if only they had understood the true nature and grandeur of national existence. Conquest was one of the major activities of the Roman people yet con- quest was not then, and never has been, the key- note of successful national strength. It is not so to day and more fully nations realize that was is neither honorable nor just the more will present civilization exceed civilization of the past. Greece, although she produced a lasting effect on the culture of every succeeding generation, failed to grasp her opportunity. Rome failed to elim- inate internal discord and lost forever her chance to establish a lasting world power. Another example of a nation which contributed her share to the civlization of her period and which wasted her opportunity for perpetual na- tional ascending was the empire of Spain, as it stood at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The ever-increasing Spanish dominion was a source of manifold anxietv to the other nations of that time. The Spanish kingdom gave promise of tremendous power and extensive territory her opportunities to serve the world by discovery and exploration were unlimited. Yet the very essence of Spanish character may be summed up in the two words “War and Conquest. ’ Ter- ritorial expansion was far more attractive than the education and civilization of those lands and peoples already under the power of Spanish rule. The Spaniards were not derived from a people whose temperament was marked by foresight, and Spanish power failed to grasp the fact that national existence and perpetuity go hand in hand with internal improvement—that the development of institution for educating the individual and not the expansion of the state, is the real foundation of the true glory of any nation. And so, in spite of tremendous tracts of territory claimed as a re- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 24i suit of conquest and invasion, the once-rising star of Spanish dominion descended to rise no more, leaving behind it trace of art and music—of dis- covery and exploration—of decadence and decline. Let us turn our attention from the past ages to this modern era. What peoples arc they today who are helping to carry onward the noble works of the world? The Emperor of Germany, with his keen insight realizes the necessity of expan- sion and so the German people arc proving themselves the most successful of colonists. They are securing a powerful influence over the ever-increasing commercial interests of South America. German culture and German capital are reaching out into foreign lands and are run- ning through every channel of human enterprise —giving promise of becoming a m s: important unity of universal civilization. An 1 this is ac- complished without resorting to war or conquest. Let us apply this to ourselves. Let us ask What is America doing? W hat is she giving to the world? What is her contribution to civiliza- tion? Is it in the fine arts or the practical arts? Is it literature or the ideals of good citizenship? A nation cannot build its civilization in one period nor in two. The civilization of today is based on that of yesterday. The civilization of tomorrow will rise from this of today. Evolution is always slow. Heaven is not gained by a single bound We build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies And mount this ladder round by round.” Like the variables in geometry the culture and civilization, of mankind can never reach its limit. Nation after nation may add its share— race after race may contribute. The people of Athens perfected harmony—the people of Rome the essence of the ideal citizenship—Spain its am- bition for discovery and exploration—for music and art. America, if she fulfills her mission, must not shirk her responsibility. The twentieth cen- tury has at its immediate command the accom- plishments of every preceding era. The work may be slow—tile results obtained of little worth.—yet that offers us no excuse from the task which is ours—the duty which we must per- form. These days are days of restless energy, of strife—of war between laborer and capitalist. Our only hope for true national glory lies in the education of every individual. We have prided ourselves and rightly, too. on our schools—on the advantages of modern education offered to all. Hut we must not cease for one moment in our efforts. It is more education, broader, deeper. fuller, that we need. Half knowledge,—little knowledge, is a dangerous thing. Drink deep or taste not the Pierean spring. Ignorance is the cause: the fundamental reason for many of our troubles. Ignorance on the part of employer and on the part of employee—ignor- ance of laborer and capitalist causes much of our discouragement. Darkness and gloom breed disease. Ignorance is darkness. Throw the searchlight of education over our land and we be- lieve that rioting and strife will largely, if not wholly, cease. Then let our gift to the world be the gift of education—a great and glorious gift and in be- stowing it largely, generously, freely, we shall be fitted to take our place among the nations of the world who have given of their own for the betterment of the universe. Let us as the boys and girls of today, the men and women of the future, learn in order that we may serve—study in order that we may intelligently act. For these days in spite of dangers arc full of promise—it is good to be alive. As we pause a moment ere we leave the hall to plant this ivy. token of remembrance, let us clasp more closely to our hearts its lessons and its memories. Let us go out into life with a determination to do a days work every day -to do the best work we arc capable of doing and be glad to do it. And in so doing we have fulfilled our mission—we have proven ourselves worthy of our oppor- tunity. Several years ago Bishop Brooks in a bacca- laureate sermon delivered before a graduating class of Technology (The last baccalaureate ser- mon which lie ever delivered) set forth to the members of that class, the jov in living. His im- passioned appeal, especially his closing words, will never be forgotten by those who heard him. He said in part: Live in the large room, oh young men and young women, and live largely in the large rooms.’’ Don’t be afraid to welcome truth whenever you may find it and whoever may bring it to you.— for it is a glorious thing, just to be alive. You know, perhaps, the cry of the dying Roman Gladiator. Oh! Caesar! we who are about to die. salute thee.” Let our cry. oh young men and young women be. All hail. Master, we who are about to salute thee. Let us. oh classmates re- member the words of that great bishop to that graduating class in Technology. Somerville’s lamented poet.

Hubert JSriobam, T4 ILL you go or not?” impatiently de- manded one of two young men who stood talking on the curb of the bril- liantly lighted street. The other turned and thoughtfully considered the passing throng. “Yes, 1 will.” he answered after a moment's hesitation. It will provide some excitement, and as for the danger—well. I have entered into things worse than this.” Shake on it. said Denison Walters, the first speaker, I knew you would go. If we can come anywhere near winning, and I am going to make a hard try for it. vc are certain of steady posi- tions and a share of the prize money.” Having persuaded his friend, Murad Allen, to accompany him in his venture, he asked him out to supper. While they were waiting to be served Allen asked for the full particulars concerning their undertaking, so Walters explained:— The other day the boss called me into his oflice and surprised me by asking what I knew about racing. utomobiles of course.’ lie added before I had time to ask what lie meant. I told him the nearest I came to knowing any- thing about it was when I had some of his crazy customers out demonstrating for them, and they insisted that I take a hill at sixty, go down at six- ty-five and stop at the bottom in a quarter of a second without a jar. ‘Well, here is the proposition.' he said laugh- ing. ’You know we arc putting out a fair amount of cars, mostly sixes, but when it comes to the Aiieen. the new eight cylinder, they all look at it and say: That thing is too clumsy, the engine is all out of proportion to the rest of the machine.” and a lot of that hash. Now, we have spent a pile of money experimenting with this model, and 1. as well as the rest of the directors, think it is an excellent piece of engineering. Unfortu- nately what we think doesn’t convince the public, so we must prove to their satisfaction that the Aiieen is a car of. worth. An engine taken from one «'f these models is to be re-mounted on a racing body and entered in the Independent All American Car. Speed Contest, at Daris, Fla. There are twenty-two entries besides ours. All arc prominent makes. The width of the course will allow for five cars starting at a time. The ileen leaves in the second lot of five. Now what do you think of the scheme?’ I told him it was first rate, flic job of driving was offered to me and I accepted. As I am to be allowed to pick mv own mechanic, I have chosen you. When do we start for Florida?” “The car will be ready next week and we are to go down and get used to the course and the machine. A whole month to prepare for the con- test and all our expenses paid. It's certainly a graft,” Allen admitted. “There is one peculiar thing about the way the control of the car is to be arranged, which I for- got to mention. said Walters. “Usually the driver controls the steering gear, clutch, and speeds. This time the clutch, brakes, and speed control are on vour side of the machine, so all that I have to do is to do the steering stunt and control the engine. The starting, stopping and control of the speeds depends on you. It is a bit awkward, but in one way it has an advantage, for all of my attention can be devoted to the course and both hands will be on the wheel all the time. Walters’s friend was now quite as enthusiastic over the prospect of a race as he himself was, and both lingered so long over their meal, talking be- tween mouthfuls, that the waiter began to wonder if they intended to stay all the evening. 'I he time passed quickly and the day of the race arrived before either was hardly aware of it. It was one of those da vs when the sun seems unde- cided whether to fav r the earth with its presence or not. Having shone brightly for five minutes, it would change its mind and crawl behind a bank of clouds and hide. lloth of the Ailecn’s drivers were now thor- oughly acquainted with the machine and its peculiarities. Every working part was known to them and they were also used to the course. They knew where to slow up on taking a bad curve, where a burst of speed would count most, what SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 245 part of the course seemed the most difficult, and all the hundred and one tilings which count in a contest of that kind. 1 loth were confident that the Aileen would not disappoint her owners. The other drivers had watched the trying out of the monster car with a great deal of interest. The genera! opinion was that the machine was too heavy and that too much of the weight came on the forward part of the car. This would make the steering very difficult. The Aileen was nearly a quarter of a ton heavier than any other car en- tered. There was also much argument in regard to the number of cylinders in the engine. Some claimed that because of the unusual number, the engine would quickly over-heat, and although de- livering a rtiore powerful stroke, would retard the speed of the machine. Others agreed that be- cause of the engine's weight, the car would hold to the course better and that there would be less cause for a spill. All thought that the arrange- ment of the control system was a serious draw- back, for none could sec how the two men could work together as smoothly as if one man had the entire control of the car. Roth Walters and Allen had practised so much in overcoming this difficulty that they worked together as one man. 'I here was just one fact which worried Walters. He knew that the extraordinary weight of the machine, together with the terrific speed at which they would travel, would raise havoc with the tires and that several changes would have to be made, meaning the loss of much valuable time. The course covered a distance of seven miles, and was to be circled fifty times, making a total of 'three hundred and fifty miles. The start was scheduled for eight o’clock sharp. A huge crowd had gathered behind the pits long before this hour. The pits themselves contained doctors and surgeons furnished by the owners of the various cars in case of accidents and also a number of reporters, representing various maga- zines and newspapers. Photographers occupied various places of vantage along the course ready to snap the flying contestants. Every precaution had been taken to avert an accident. There had been a slight rain the night before and the course was just damp enough to have the dust well laid without being slippery. Ry common agreement of the drivers no oil had been applied to the course as was the usual custom for roads of this type, because of the ill effect on the tires, so the rain had been welcomed by all. 1 gin o’clock came and the first five cars lined up for the start. 'Pile noise of the exhaust from the snorting monsters was so great that the voice of the red-faced man who was announcing the con- lestants could not be heard. The smoky blue vapor also hid the respective numbers of the machines for a moment. A sudden breeze rem- edied this difficulty and as the numbers became visible there was a hurried consulting of entry lists by the eager crowd, to see who the various- drivers and machines were. The drivers were now racing their engines to warm them thor- oughly. and at the dropping of the checkered flag by the starter, the clutches were thrown in and the five cars shot off like ariows released from the bow. Walters and Mien now climbed into the Aileen and arranged their headgear and gloves. Walters tun ed the wheel from side to side to see if the recently applied tape was going to slip through his hands any. “Sure everything is all right?” he anxiously asked. ‘‘Fine as a fiddle.’’ was the reply. 'I lie Aileen rolled up to the line with the others who were t . siait second. They had the last posi- tion 011 the outwaid side of the track. Walters had had to fight for this position, but he finally won on a toss-up. The Aileen was enameled a deep yellow, wheels and all. A wide, black leather belt held the engine hood firmly in place. A white six was inscribed on the radiator, one on each side of the engine hood and one on each end of the gasoline tank. As each one of the eight cylinders was cast single, an immense amount of the wheel base was taken up by the engine. Phis fact caused the drivers of the ileen t appear like pigmies as they sat crouched in their seats. The seats themselves were built low directly behind the en- gine up against the gasoline tank. The rear end of the machine extended just far enough beyond their seats to allow an entire set of brand new tires to be strapped on. Within the ring formed by the tires, a ten-gallon tank of water was fast- ened. A kit of tire tools lay beside Allen where he could reach them without trouble. This com- pleted the general outside -appearance of the Aileen. As they waited for the signal which would start them on the race for the success of the Aileen, they could hear the engine purring as regularly as the ticking of a clock. “She never ran any better than she’s doing now.” Walters proudly commented. “That driver of number six is a wise one,” said 246 SOM ERVI LLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR one spectator to another. “ by?” was asked. Well.” explained the other with a smile of superior knowledge, “von see lie has got the out- side of the course and if he sticks to it. when it comes to a turn, he won’t have to throw his wheel over half as far as the rest of them. Walters’ boss sat up in the stand, nervously chewing on the end of a fat cigar, but confident that Walters and his mechanician would do their best. At last the watchful eye of Walters was re- warded by seeing the starter raise his arm and let the flag flutter t the ground. Stiffening in his scat, he opened the throttle a trifle and veiled to Allen, win jammed in his clutch and threw over the various speeds, one after the other as fast as lie could, ’’(heat Scot!!” gasped several in the stand, “look at that yellow boy go; started in on high at that. Why. that is that freak, the eight-cylinder with the freakish control system, isn’t it? questioned a man behind the boss. Certainly can go anyway. Let’s see what the entry list has got down for that car. ‘Aileen. eight cyclindcrs. one hundred and twenty horse power, drivers Walters and Allen.' Some car all right. admitted the investi- gating one. ‘‘Some car is correct,” mocked the boss to him- self. As the flying thing leaped away both in the rear of that scudding monster felt an inclination to shout. All objects along the course looked the same; one long blurred line. The road seemed to leap up to meet them. The wind tore at their headgear like a thousand fiends, seeking t wrench some part of it loose. They c.mld feel living par- ticles torn up from the roadbed striking against the exposed parts of their bodies. Walters could tell by the way the car was tilting that they were approaching the first of the dangerous turns in the course. ’’Letter drop one speed. he yelled with diffi- culty to Allen, still retaining the wheel in an iron grip. If we take this one all right, we’ll tackle the next on lngh and stay there. he continued. Allen did as he was told and they shot around the bend like a ball from a cannon. The car skidded just the least bit and careened over for a second on two wheels and then finally settled back into place again. ‘‘(lee, muttered Allen, she never did that stunt before. ‘ ell, she never took a turn at the rate we arc traveling now. either, answered Walters. “In with the high again. he continued. The dropping of one speed for a moment had given two of the cars that had started with them a brief lead. Where’s the other two? questioned Walters when he saw this fart, for he wanted to know how the Aileen was doing in comparison with the rest. The third's close behind. Can’t see the fourth, answered Allen, and he huddled down lower in his seat and watched the whirling ex- haust come rushing from the tubes in the side of the hood. They had now circled the course once and were approaching the opposite side of the stands. The speedometer hovered between ninety- three and nine! v-four. Walters now opened the throttle to its fullest extent. The effect was magical. The Aiieen quickly overtook and passed a car which had forged ahead of them. P oth wanted to shout from the sheer joy of it all. The Aileen now showed what she was made of. They seemed to hardly touch the ground. Suddenly one of the rear wheels struck a small object in the road. 'The car leaped high in the air, nearly wrenching the wheel from Walters’s hands. In reality it was only a few seconds, but it seemed hours to those two fastened in that hurtling object before the car struck the ground nearly forty feet bevond where it had made its wild leap. Walters had been waiting for the return jolt, so the car was under perfect control when it again touched the ground. They shot past the stands and pits in a twink- ling. Various colored specks were constantly be- fore and behind them, for the last of the cars to start had left some time ago. When they had covered an eighth of the distance, they passed three accidents. A huge green car had turned turtle on one of the curves. Another was ditched and a third lay opposite the pits with its radiator touching the ground. Guess that’s a case of broken springs. commented Allen. “Don’t think much of these under-slungs any way.” When a third of the course had been covered the strain began to tell on both. Kverv bone and muscle in their bodies ached. Walters's hands were so stif- fened that they felt welded to the wheel. Having circled the track nineteen times they were nearing the pits when a sharp report sounded behind them and the car began to jump and shake at an alarm- ing rate. Oh. confound the luck, groaned Walters, a blow-out. Stopping before the pit with all possible speed both leaped out, Walters nearly falling in the path of an on-rushing car. his SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 247 limbs were so cramped. Allen grabbed bis tire •tools and both went to work removing the rear shoe like men possessed. The old shoe was finally off and a new one put securely on. Throwing the useless tire into the pit nearest them, they jumped in and were ofi' again. The once highly enameled engine hood was now a smoking mass of charred enamel which was peeling off in great patches. The figure six on either side of the hood was hardly discernible. That engine's a regular furnace. growled Allen. but I guess she ll last though.” When the course had been circled about forty times, misfortune again overtook them in the form of the other rear shoe. While Allen was making the tire change. Walters frantically unscrewed the cap in the top of the radiator. When he finally had if off a great puff of steam arose from the boiling water. Opening the pet-cock in the bot- tom of the radiator he let part of it out and re- filled it from the tank which he had on back. Roth finished at nearly the same time and jumped into the machine again. On, on, on. that leaping line of road always before them. How many more laps?” gasped Walters. Three. came back as wearily. Those last three seemed the longest. Finally it was over and it was with a sigh of relief from both that the machine came to a halt before the judge’s stand. They tore off their headgear, but be- ing too tired to climb out of the car, watched from their seats the crowd surging about the judge's stand and demanding the time of the different car ;. The judges would give no satisfaction until all the machines were in. They came shooting in one by one. the last two arriving almost simulta- neously. The boss had worked his way through the crowd to the side of the Aileen. lie warmly shook hands with, and congratulated both on the few stops they had had to make. The weight of the car was against you in regard to blow-outs and it's a wonder you didn’t have to make more tire changes than you did.” “Did you have to touch the engine any?” he asked Walters. Haven't raised the hood once since we started,” was the proud answer. The boss put on his gloves, and unfastening the belt, threw the smoking hood back. The engine seemed the same as usual except for the terrific heat which it gave out. Well. I don’t see but the old Aileen stood it pretty well. What was the fastest you went during the entire time? he ques- tioned. Just before we took our little aerial trip the speedometer showed, one hundred and seven. grinned Walters with satisfaction, but that won’t do us any good if we haven't won anything. he added seriously. T he shouting crowd was finally rewarded by seeing a boy climbing to the top of the official board with paper and chalk clutched tightly in his hand. Allen, Walters and the boss knew that the fate of the Aiieen lay on that piece of paper. A moment more and their wrought-up nerves would find relief. After a moment of indecision, the boy began boldly chalking in the space opposite first place on the board, l ie finally finished writing, and Xo. 11. hrs. . 1 mins. ? secs., was eagerly read by the watching crowd. The hearts of the three gath- ered about the yellow car fell, and it was with a half-hearted interest that they watched the boy prepare for filling in space number two. Guess there is nothing in this for us,” disap- pointedly muttered the boss. A moment more and Walters and Allen leaped to the ground with a loud shout, forgetting their aches and pains, for the ileen occupied second place with a record of f hrs. £ mins. I secs. The Aileen supporters now went wild. Neither Walters, Allen nor the boss waited to see the rest announced but hurried to the hotel, both of the young fellows badly needing rest. That evening the second prize of twenty-five hundred dollars and a silver cup was awarded the drivers of the Aileen. The next day several orders were placed for the new Aileen, the car of endur- ance. A telegram from the main office told the same story, for the result of the contest was now known everywhere. The eight cyclindcr was no longer a car of doubt. And just think,” complained Allen, we were only beat, by fifty-seven seconds, and if it hadn’t been lor those confounded blow-outs,, we might have beaten that number 11 crew easy by a couple of minutes.” ‘ Oh, cheer up, laughed Walters, isn't second pri?c better than no prize at all5” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR -’49 Zbc 3. m. Sill? IRobbev? JI5Y� Hrnolfc IB. Durrag, 'K3-3B HE Saskatoon Express of the western division, running between Saskatoon and Grandview came to a stop in the terminal at Grandview, and stood waiting to be relieved of its surging mass of humanity. The lazy smoke curled skwvlv and carelessly upward toward the ghastly arc lights; the engines stood panting over the efforts of its late run, as if anxious to get to its resting place in the round house, and the terminal was a scene of confused and hurrying people. Out of the cab door, oiler in hand, stepped Bob Burke, superintendent of the western division. He had been appointed to this position on account of his tact, and his never-failing ability to run the pay special over the mountains to its destination in safety. Today he had run the express upon the president’s orders as the latter wished to sec him on important business. After attending to the oiling and cleaning of the engine. Bob left it in charge of the fireman, Bert Debar, to take to the round house, and pro- ceeded to the president’s office. Entering he saw the president engaged with his correspondence, a large part of which was letters of complaint. Hearing Bob’s footsteps, the president turned around, and with a glad smile welcomed him. When they were comfortably seated, the president told why he had asked Bob to come. “You are probably surprised at my asking you to run the express today. However, 1 have a very good reason for it. 1 did not want anybody to see you coming here dressed in your street clothes, or as a passenger from Saskatoon, for everybody knows that I call on you when the road is in seri- ous trouble. Every morning at three o’clock the long freight for Helleview leaves the yards. In the last three cars there are eight or nine large boxes tilled with Parisian silk going to Marshall Company and John H. Fills, with whom we have a yearly contract to handle their freight. Now, be- tween Grandviewr and Bclleview several of these boxes mysteriously disappear, and the road is held responsible for them. We have had two regular detectives busy, but as yet they have discovered nothing. The freight leaves on schedule time to- morrow morning and I want you to go with it and find the thieves and stop these continual robberies, f r if they are not stopped the company will lose its contracts and allow the bulk of the freight to go over the Southern Pacific. W e cannot yield and let the Southern Pacific gain this immense advantage. If anyone can trap the thieves, you can. and remember that the road is always back of you.” Bob hastened home, and after thinking the mat- ter over, decided on a scheme which he thought would prove successful. At two o'clock the next morning he was at the freight shed talking in a guarded tone with the head shipper, Mr. Chapman. Gradually the the puckered lips of the shipper broke into a bright smile and lie exclaimed in an excited voice:— “Just the thing. Bob1 “You should be a detec- tive ! Bob and the shipper proceeded to the long freight, which was waiting on track IT for a few- extra cars to be coupled. When they reached the car in which the boxes of silk were packed, the shipper picked out an extra large box. and rip- ping the cover off, took the silk out and packed it in another box. Then Bob got inside the box, and after seeing that his revolvers were within eas reach, settled himself as best he could for a long wait, while the shipper nailed the boards on. leaving them far enough apart to admit sufficient air. and marked with a blue era von the words, “PARISIAN SILK.” When Bob's eyes grew accustomed to the dark interior, he found that there was a knothole in the side of ?lie box through which lie could see and hear This made him all the more cautious to guard hi? own actions, for although he was armed he knew that it wotdd be the work of a moment to riddle the box with bullets. As the rear brakeman. Peter Kelly was walking on the top of the car ready to give the signal to start. Bob suddenly wondered if he had anything to do with the mysterious disappearances of the boxes of silk. At last, with many a pull and a jerk, the long freight g t under way. and after thumping over numerous switches reached the main track grad- 250 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR uallv gaining headway until a crossing was reached where the freight waited for the express to pass on its return trip. Suddenly, with a shrill shriek of her whistle, the express came in sight around a curve and whirled past. Then all was still again save for the monotonous “click-click’’ as the ex- press rattled over the rails. An hour later the freight came to a stop at what Bob judged to be a water tank. Suddenly he heard a sharp click as if someone was opening the door. Sure enough, the door gradually moved back, and Bob heard someone stepping around the car. Then a voice muttered in a low tone:— “Be quick, Pete! Slide out the largest box! Then the box in which Bob was crouching was rolled out of the car, and over the tracks to a tree, which grew in front of a large rock. As if by magic the tree was brushed to one side, and the box was pushed into what seemed to be a large cave, and deposited in a dark corner. Then the two men ran out of the cave back towards the freight. The first half of the freight was around a curve so that the brakeman on the forward part of the freight, and the cab hands could not sec what was going on in the rear. Bob gradually forced the top of the box off. and after getting out of his cramped position, gazed around him. Me could hardly believe his eyes. In the dim light of the cave, he could see all around him shelves piled with valuable silks and other articles which the road had missed for years. He crouched behind a rock in one corner, feel- ing sure that the thieves would return. After what seemed to be hours, Bob heard voices outside, and in a few moments Peter Kelly, the brakeman on the rear cars, entered the cave with three other men. Bob stepped out of his hiding place, and with levelled revolvers ordered them to throw up their hands. To say that they were surprised would be putting it mildly, they were panic stricken, and when Bob ordered them to march they walked out of the cave with their hands in the air as meek as lambs. Bob marched them towards a farmhouse, which luckily was near. With the farmer’s help the thieves were bound, and when the “Accomodation’ stopped at the station “Hillside it took aboard four unwilling passengers, who were afterwards lodged in the local jail at Grandview. I'hc next dav the silk was taken from the cave to the freight office, and later was returned to the merchants in Saskatoon. From them the (:. N. R. K. received the large amount of money that it had paid for losses. The newspapers announced in large head lines the capture of the robbers; Bob Burke’s novel scheme, and the gratification of the govern- ment in the capturing of four of the most noted train robbers of the Canadian West. The president and the vice-president, namely,. Bob Burke, sat talking in the former’s office. Be- fore them were statistics showing that the Great Northern was the largest railroad in the Canadian West, that it did the largest passenger and freight traffic; and that it was the only railroad that had never had a strike. Bob had worked for the in- terests of the road since he was fireman, and now that lie was vice-president, what more could he wish? £ tmotes vs jfribav, tbe tlbirtecntb iRutb Elizabeth iDerccr, '14 O'M I! A sweet, retiring-sounding name, is it not? Surely one would never think to connect it with big, laughing, brown eyes, rosy lips and dimples! At least Bob Richard would not. In fact, he absolutely re- fused to believe that the two could go together. Naomi was his favorite name, but dimples-----------! He threw up his hands. How he hated dimples. Bob Richard was a bachelor, a confirmed old “bach,” his friends called him. He was the only single one in his “frat,” and his friends did their best to marry him off. as they put it. In spite of the many attempts on the part of innumerable people to interest him in the fair sex, he still re- mained immune to Cupid's bow. However, A1 Brickett decided to make one last trial. He over- looked the fact that he had already made more SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 251 attempts than any other of Rob's cronies. He would try once more and if he was unsuccessful this time, lie would give it up as a poor occupation. One day he encountered Rob on State Street. I say, old man. engaged for Friday night?” “No. why?” “I want you to come up for dinner. My wife is expecting her counsin and 1 want you to meet. By George, Rob. if you do not fall straight in love with her. I’ll believe you arc made of stone. She is the sweetest girl you could ever meet. Oh. that is all right, my wife knows that I like her. A fel- low simply could not help it. She is fascinating. Her name is Naomi.” A1 let that fact sink slowly into his friend's mind. She has big brown eyes, that make a man sit up and take n nice. She is small, and------here A1 hesitated, for he knew too well bv this time what Rob would say at the next remark. ‘‘She has two of the merriest dimp- les in either cheek-----. Such a look of disgust as came over Richard’s face. “I'll be hanged if I marry anyone you pick out for me. A1 Brickett,” he answered testily, and then went on sarcastically, but since you take such a brotherly interest in me. you might do the kind- ness to select someone who I might accidently like. Dimples! You make me sick. How many times must 1 tell you that I hate dimples,” lie spat the last word. “I know, but------” “There is no excuse for such nonsense. I repeat once and forever more that if you arc all bound to tie me up ‘for better or for worse’ I’d like more than a doll to spend my days with. 1 want a wife who will be a companion to me. One who is not gadctingall the day long, and out when her husband comes home. I want someone who will help me in my business affairs if T need assistance. And T am sure you cannot find one in all these fol dc rols that women are rigging up in nowadays. And dimples-----. Words fail me. Al. T am dis- gusted with the human race in general.” “Ha. ha, very well. It may not be any use but I’m willing to wager a ten that you would not remain single another year if you knew her.” “Huh. is that so? Well to show you. I’ll take you up on that. If I am still a free man in a year’s time, you’ll owe me ten dollars.” “That is fair. Come up Friday. So long, old chap.” “So long. Oh, I say-----but Brickett had dis- appeared. Hang it. that is Friday, the thirteenth, my unluck day. Well, there is no way out of it now.” About six months after this meeting. Al Brick- ett was walking down State Street, when he heard a familiar voice call his name. Turning around he grasped hands tightly with Rob Richard. “For Heaven’s sake, where have you been all this time? I have not seen you since the time you were down to meet my cousin. Where have you been?” Bob’s face colored noticeably. ()h. I have been busy. Business, you know, and----- A! eyed him suspiciously. “Bobby, old boy. what have you up your sleeve? Not married yet, eh?” No. no.” hastily, “but---” What is the matter with you. Something hap- pened to your tongue?” ‘I might as well confess, Al. I owe you ten dollars.” His friend looked puzzled for a moment, then light dawned on his cloudy brain, and he emitted a roar of laughter. Ha. ha, ha, s that is why you’ve been among the missing for these past six months? 1 thought you were made of cast iron. Cupid must have found a malleable spot somewhere. Ha. ha.” “Say Al. I must hustle. I promised to take her to the theatre tonight to see the ‘Follies.’ ” “For Heaven’s sake, theatre! By the way. Rich, I thought you hated dimples.” “That’s all right. I did not mind so very much, you know. Really now I like dimples. Rather softeps the face, don’t you think?” Any way. I got the mime Naomi, and what is more I got the girl, and I am glad she has dimples!” “Say. Rob. you’re a funny piece. I must tell my wife. So long.” “So long. Oh. T say, Al.” but Al was out of sight. “Hang it.

Than for many a moon, ere now, We have had to do, I trow. List! this day, perchance this hour, A maiden, seeking for the bower Of wisdom. Alma Mater named, Through all the world most widely famed. Starts on her journey through this maze. Destined to wander many days Along the path for her marked out, Indeed, it is a winding route. Marked, here and there, among the trees, ()n branches, ground, or reddening leaves. For the possession of this child I'll fight, with each and every wile Known to magic or tempter's art; I'll gain possession of her heart. Though it should take me every day, O11 all the four years of her way; For. I am prince of all this band. All these temptations 1 command. This, he your duty, in different climes When I shall designate your times Such ones of you as I assign. Shall for her decoys design: And shall use every resource To turn her from the marked course. Through four long years I have the power To tempt her, to my royal bower. ()r. drive her back from whence she came. Which latter shall not be my aim. But. if by them she does not stand Within the confines of my land. Wisdom shall claim her for her own. Hark! this moment I do hear Chastened steps approaching near. Xow. the child is close at hand. Come, thou all. at once disband! Maiden— How beautiful this path is that I follow. Here it leads me through some shady hollow, Then out upon a hill-top gay with flowers. Or through the green walls of the wood nymphs bowers; Sometimes, by bubbling brook and precipice ()'cr which the waters rush to the abyss. They led me forth—from my dear home to gaze Upon the edge of this great, dim. dark maze, And. showing me a path which there began. Did bid me follow it. where'er it ran. Until I came, at last, through many days, Upon a palace wondrous fair to gaze. This palace is to be for me the goal. Which, like explorers searching for the pole. I search for, and at last may hope to gain, If always I keep striving toward this aim. Therefore. I wander on through wood and field. Studying everything they may reveal, Until at last, a flower the woods conceal. 254 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR More beautiful than any 1 have found, lie hidden in some shaded bit of ground. So beautiful, this place to which I've come, It seems as if I need not farther roam To find the fairest of all fair bowers, Here, surely grows the fairest of the flowers. Spirit of Adjustment— Then this is she whose path I guard. Who is to be my little ward Through this first year on labor bent, ’Gainst the demon of discontent. Many the hardships that await Ere we who watch will know her fate; Whether she straight to Wisdom goes, Whether she turns to Wisdom's foes, lint time goes on we must away. I'll speak to her without delay. Child, what hast thou in thy hand? Maiden— The fairest thing in all the land. Who art thou. Oh Lady fair? Art some spirit of the air. Or the nymph of this glade Hiding in the pleasant shade? Spirit of Adjustment— Neither, Child. A friend of thine. Come and put thy hand in mine. And. if you care for flowers so, 1 will show you where they grow. There we’ll dance and laugh and sing, With the elfins in a ring. Round and round neath the hawthorne tree, Come, sweet child, and play with me. Maiden— How I'd like to play with thee! But I must not. I cannot stay, Not even with thee all to play; Eor 1 'might lose the path, which now Leads on to Wisdom’s court. I trow. Spirit of Adjustment— 1'ear not. Child. I must daily tread This same path.—which hast thee led. ()n to Wisdom’s court, I go; Here to help, and here to show Where the path grows hard and drear, When the path grows dim or clear. I am there to lend a hand Helping toward the promised land. Come now, child, no longer fear For the path is always clear. For you and me. No matter whether In the bright, sunshiny weather ()r on a dark and dismal day. We with the elfins play. Maiden— Oh. then. come, let us away. Prince— ; Hither, hither, all of you, She has disappeared from view. To each of you, I will show The station where he must go. There to wait till she must pass. Then springing from the waving grass t Entice or scare her from her path. Thou, bogies of learning, here In the second year appear, With your imps, her path waylay, Here iter progress you must stay. If by mishap you should fail. Sport and pleasure must avail. Sport, Dance, Drama, to you three The third year, I'll give to thee Should she come to Wisdom’s gate.

Maiden— I’ve traveled far. and I am tired and sad. The sky grew dark, the winds did blow so hard, As if the gods did wish to shake the earth. And make this forest treeless as a hearth. The rain fell fast, the thunder crashed. And. near at hand, the lightening flashed, When, by my side, a ripping, hissing sound And a great oak lay stretched upon the ground. I started back and shuddered there to see The mighty monarch, that great shattered tree; And. if I had two paces farther stood. I had been crushed beneath that mass of wood. Then the storm ceased, and I have wandered far Without a path, till yon great rock did bar My further progress. But I must search about. Perchance. I may discover some way out, Except the winding path by which I’ve come. Bogy- Pack! back! thou Child, thou mayst not enter here. This path leads to a cavern dark ami drear. W here all the wars of History do sleep. And I. above this great hord. watch do keep. Lest, they be awakened, bv some strange hand, And. breaking forth, do devastate this land. In this direction does not lie your way. Back! back! you may not take this path. I say. Maiden— Indeed. I would not wish to enter that place there. My path leads not to such a dreadful lair. It always has been peaceful until now. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 255 But I must leave this place. Would I know how! Bogy- Back! back! My band of imps you may not sec, For, did they see you ere you turned to lice, Each curve and letter, figure or symbol Would fly upon you, so quick, so nimble, You could their attack not an instant stay. Back! back! You must not try to come this way. Maiden— It seems that this course too, I must not try, Yet if I stay here, I shall surely die. Bogy— 1 guard the thunder and lightening flash. The earthquakes and the great storm winds that lash, The sea to foam, till tidal waves appear. All the wonders of science 1 keep here. This path is yours if you but answer straight This question, of which science does partake. Can you perchance explain this question teas- ing, Why it is that water boils below freezing? Maiden— How can I answer what I ne’er heard? Indeed, it seems most strange and most absurd. Bogy— Away, away, this road is not for thee, Since, now I sec. thou canst not answer me. Bogy— 1 hree gloomy witches, who at my command. Will weave around you spells, are close at hand; ()ne will your hands closely behind you bind. That you the tangled thread of themes may not unwind: A second will your tongue from reading chain; A third will close your eyes from rhetoric’s claim. ()ne step in this direction and you stand Forever here in our enchanted land. Maiden— I have no wish to approach nearer to One. whom I hate and fear as I do you. i here seems no other way from here but one, ibis path and that one there by which I’ve come. Bogy- Back! back! thou little swarm of beasts, T sav! . Tot yet, but soon thou shalt drive her away, ho thus treads on our little words with ease, Declines and conjugates as she does please. We’ll punish her for past outrages done. A moment, and then I shall let you come. But then, directly we would let you go If you could conjugate the verb “eo.’’ Maiden— If that is all you ask. I can do that, Eo eam, eat, amaverat, Iri. iveram,—but what comes next, 0I1! Nous avons, vous avez, ich bin, ito. Bogy- Come. followers, she cannot stand the test. Spirit of the Second Year—Enthusiasm— ()oh—O-ooh— For a child I search the wood. Golden hair and eyes of blue. Dispel all spirits save the good. So I call ()oh—ooh— So. I have found you now at last. I low is it that a moment past You did turn back along this path? Maiden--- Indeed, there seemed no other way to go. Each way I turned they drove me back, and so It seemed that all these gloomy ways were blocked, Fcr in each path a monster stood and mocked, But now I fear no man since thou art near, Already it seems brighter about here. Spirit of Enthusiasm— Dear child if you but look ahead that way, There, leads our path as clear as day. Child, his enthusiasm that you lack l or having that, things that now look so black To others, you can surely overcome; For obstacles to you there would be none. So I am sent to give you that Which now, above all things you lack. Enthusiasm, that’s the thing Before which, all doubts take wing. But see. our road before 11s lies As clear now as the very skies. Maiden— •Since you this secret do impart. Pray tell me oi some other art, As we along the path do go; There many things that you might show. SCENE III. Another part of the Maze. Spirit of Loyaltv— When you have followed straight for one year more, This path, uninterrupted, you before A wondrous castle shall stand, and behold A stairway leading to a path of gold. This path will lead you to a wondrous hall, Which reaching, you must loudly call. Then, from the far end your companions three, 2$6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Who have, through these four years, conducted thee. Will lead you to the throne of Wisdom, where You will receive the gifts that wait you there. Maiden— Rut where's the fourth? Is there not then to be One spirit to go the last year with me? And the gifts and the court what may they be? Spirit of Loyalty— There will be four attendants for your way; If with one or more you'll come, I can't say. As for the gifts, I cannot tell you more, Her court has many like us. and we four. Her handmaids, represent some quality; And there stand Wisdom’s branches, History, Mathematics. Language, and others, too, Science and Music are there to greet you. Maid'� - Why do you leave me here so soon? The year will not be up till noon. Then we'll be no more together. Spirit of Loyalty— We shall meet in fairer weather, When you to our court have come. word, and then my duty's done. Your path is fraught with danger even now. If you but do my bidding, do not fear, You will come safely to your goal at last. And profit by the dangers you have past. Above all things, be loyal to your aim, And to loved Wisdom which you hope to gain. To Alma Mater, ever remain true. And she will guard and aid you as your due. Let my last words ever with you abide. Xo matter what the cause, turn not aside. Maiden— Fate well, oh comrade good and kind.. 1 will guard well what thou hast left behind. Sport— Near this place there lies a meadow Part in sun and part in shadow. Where we boys in summer gather Thtie to play base ball together. Then when fall approaches near. You will hear us. cheer on cheer. Urging on our playing mates For a touchdown 'gainst the fates. When the winter to us hies, You could scarce believe your eyes,— Such a change has taken place In the green field of the race; Now a sheet of clearest glass «listens at you as you pass, And the skaters o’er it glide. Darting 'round on every side. I hit 'tis hockey holds the fort, That, is now the favored sport. Come and watch, but for one game. Then, you may go on again. Maiden— I do not turn one atom from my course, I do not wish to have cause for remorse. The Play— Near the meadow Sport did mention Stands a hall of great dimension.

We sailed into the — — ■ Soronic Gulf late this afternoon land- ing at Peiraeus, the great commercial city of Athens. Pile journey was very pleasant, and we had an interesting time exploring the trireme, which to 11s seemed very peculiar. I had never traveled in a trireme before, and when I saw it waiting for us at the wharf it looked to me like a centipede. The sun was setting when we reached the port, so we hired two horses to take 11s to the city, for we wished to gel there before dark. In going to the city we passed through the long walls f which von have heard so much. Being curious 1 wanted to see what they were like on top. 0 accordingly ascended. On reaching the to]� I gained a fine view of the plains of Attica and the surrounding country, which looked very beautiful. After reaching the city we looked about for a suitable inn where we could get both board and lodging during our stay. We soon found one, and after having a lunch went to our rooms, for we wanted to get a little unpacking done before dark. I am writing this under very unpleasant circum- stances for the torch which I am using is filling the room with smoke. The Greeks have not the conveniences that we have at home. Second Day: To-day we went to see the Acrop- olis and had a really wonderful time. We had an early lunch and started before noon, so as to have as much time as possible. As we were passing through the square we noticed that a crowd had collected nearby. Out of curiosity we went to see what had caused the excitement. Socrates was talking to the men. He loves to gather the people around him and talk to them: he is a great favorite. Poor man, I sup- pose this is the only pleasure he has, for at home lie and his wife are always quarreling. We are t !d that lie i'- very unfortunate in his domestic affairs. e finally had to tear ourselves away from the crowd for it was none too early, and we wanted to have plenty of time to explore the Acropolis. I will not give a long description of this beautiful place for you have read all about it in history, but there are some things that I must mention. Mounting the flight of marble steps which leads to the Propylaea, we found ourselves at the en- trance gate which looks like a great triumphal arch. Looking to the left we saw the beautiful bronze statue of Athena, whose shining spear point can be seen from a great distance. Near this is the great Parthenon, which is all made of Pcntelic marble, ornamented with the Doric columns. I have read many descriptions of this building but I never imagined that it could be so beautiful It was a sight I shall never forget. The other buildings are also very beautiful. I he Kreethieum, with its porch of maidens, the Temple of Winged Victory or Temple of Nike, as it is called here, and many others are really wonderful. We are also interested in the sacrifices which the people offer to the gods. There are all sorts of fruits, flowers, and even slaughtered animals� but what we found most interesting were the clay images given by people who were just recovering from some disease. In some cases they offered only a limb, such as a leg or an arm, according to the nature of the disease. This seemed strange to us but it is a very sacred custom of the Greeks. The time passed very quickly and we were sur- prised when it began to grow dark. We had to start at once, for there are no lights in the streets of Athens and we would surely have lost our way in the darkness. Third Day: This is our last day in Athens, for we must leave here tonight, although I have not seen half the things that I would like to see. To- day we saw something of the home-life of the Greeks. In the morning we went for a walk and visited one of the thenian schools. This school was very different from our American ones. All the pupils were gathered in one large room. They sat on benches which were about the only furni- ture in the room. Around the walls were writing tablets, and in one place was a curious cross which the master told us was used for geometry. We stayed for a time to hear the boys reciting. They seemed very intelligent and behaved very well. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 259 although most of them seemed afraid of their mas- ters. W e were told that the school began early in the morning and lasted until sunset. When I heard this 1 felt glad that I went to an American school. We finally left the school and started for our inn. While walking along the street we met a small boy, who told us, in his Athenian tongue, that he was lost. We found that lie was the son •of one of the prominent men of Athens. The mother was very grateful to us for bringing her boy back. When we started to leave she refused to let us go and begged us to stay for dinner. Of course, we were quite flattered to think that this prominent Athenian woman had taken such a fancy to us, so we accepted her kind invitation. She showed us over the house which was very attractive. All the houses are not exactly alike, but on the same order. At first one enters a door which opens into a passage called a thvron. This leads into a court open to the sky. The court is the central and essential feature of the city house, since it forms the principal means of admitting light and air. In the country house the position of the court is quite different. There it stands in front of the building and is not, strictly speaking, a structural part of it. When we entered the court the father was eating. As we had been invited to dinner we thought this very impolite. The woman noticed our surprise and told use that in Athens the women and children do not eat with the father. The mother then took us into her apartment. As her husband was a well-to-do Athenian, it was fitted out with very costly furniture. We found the room very interesting and attractive also. She then asked us if we would like to put on one of her tunics and have our hair dressed in the Athenian style. Of course we thought it would be very nice, so consented. A slave brought in the tunics, sandals, and also bracelets, rings, and two beautiful necklaces. After putting these on. and having our hair dressed in the Athenian style, we felt much better than in the modern tight skirt . By this time the father had finished his meal so we went to the dining room. There were no chairs but each person had a couch to recline on and our food was «placed on a small table before us. The meal consisted of flat-round cakes made of barley, salad, shellfish, and vegetables. During Hie meal bread was passed around to us in little baskets. Before we began to eat one of the slaves washed our hands with scented water. She did this several times throughout the meal, for we did not have any knives or forks and had to eat with our fingers. There was no tablecloth and instead of napkins we used a kind of dough to re- move the grease from our fingers. The family threw all the remains of their food on the floor. We followed their example, although we did not like the idea very well. There was music through- out the meal, and we enjoyed ourseives very much. Finally, as the slaves came to remove the tables, we went to the other room. During our conversation I suggested going to the theatre, for we now had that opportunity as they were having the Festival of Dionysus. My companions thought this a very good plan and so consented. The name of t he play was ” Prometheus Bound, which is one of the chief works of Aeschylus. The play was very interesting and different from those we sec at home. The actors wore enormous masks which made them look so tragic that we could not help laughing. They also wore padded cloths and buskins with very thick soles to make them look taller. The scenes on the stage were movable, with trap doors through which the actors disappeared. There were also machines which swung the actors through the air when they were playing the parts of gods. Between the acts there were dances given by a chorus of carefully trained men. It was just growing dark when we started home in the chariot. We left the Athenian woman at her home, and after thanking her for the kind at- tentions continued on our way to the inn. Be- fore going in I took one last look at the Acr polis. 1 can never forget how it looked at this time, so strong and protecting. I will have to leave this wonderful city tonight and f am very sorry for I have not seen one-half of the things that I would like to see. My only consolation is that some day 1 am coming back to see everything that I had to omit this time. Tonight under the clear Grecian sky aglow with the bright little stars. I sat thinking-. It was all so wonderful to me. and 1 could hardly realize that 1 had been to that wonderful city of Athens. I am leaving the city in quite a different fashion: in- stead of in a queer old trireme. T am in one of our large, modern ocean liners. I am happy never- theless. that I am an American and a pupil of the good old Somerville High School. 260 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR flbrise translation Won b ? WinnifreO XU.

Your school is a miniature state: be a good citizen in this state of yours, in order that you may become a man indeed for the service of your greai Fatherland. II. Bear in mind that you arc to enter into a great heritage and be grateful to all the noble who have bequeathed it to you—1 all the great men who. by virtue of their lifelong toil, have secured for you imperishable privileges. III. Learn to be faithful in the small respon- sibility. that you may some day prove faithful in the great: cultivate habits of outward orderliness, which will help you to inner (mental) efficiency. IV. Strive to be genuine; do not compromise with your duties on a superficial basis and be not content with the outward result. Do not, out of mere craving for honor, seek to outstrip others in learning, but take care that, as far as in you lies, you be the equal of the best. V. Do not lie; neither as the slaves, who lack courage for the truth, nor as the hypocrites, who are willing to advance themselves by dis- sembling. nor as the plagiarists, who offer bor- rowed matter as their own. And do not be double- faced. showing yourself modest before your par- ents and forward among your teachers and com- panions. Vi. Be a good comrade among your equals, reliable and loyal, but allow no evil companion to gain control over you. Have a ready mind for joyous jest but let not your character be spoiled by base ridicule. VII. Do not misuse your strength against the weak and be not haughty toward the lowly. Know that even in youth one may possess a noble spirit. VIII. See to it that you become proficient in all youthful sports and continue unspoiled and joyous throughout your youth; love Nature and all her creatures, and allow no indoor occupation to deprive you of the enjoyment of them. IX. Do not grow disheartened or perverse if you have erred and have had to suffer punish- ment : start anew and you can soon blot out all traces of past mistakes. Let not your mind be poisened with mistrust, and do not consider your teachers enemies because they require of you what is distasteful. X. Voluntarily engage in some good pursuit, over and above your required work, that you. too, may sometime belong to the company of those •who themselves set goals for their attainment, and not to the slavish crew who perform only the appointed task.

'14 B R had remained so long that'the c boys equipped for a long hike’’ like shouting for joy, as at last, r a long veek of preparation, they the Academy grounds bound for dlefield, a hundred miles west. With only a compass for a guide they set out. !ii their haste to depart and their plunge into the unexplored forest not one of them had noticed the gloomy, over-shadowed sky, shut in bv black clouds. Suddenly a peal of thunder warned them of the approaching storm. Chin interrupted their orderly processi on with: Say. fellows, did you bring your umbrellas? It is going to pour in about a minute. Just as he said it. Jack felt a drop of rain on his upturned face and said. “I guess Chin is right. What shall we do; we can't camp in the rain.” The third broke in with: Well, if I were you. fellows. 1 would see what that hut is.” What hut?” the others cried. Why. that one there.” said Donkey. ‘‘Last one there has to build the fire. Come on!” When they reached the hut they were thor- oughly wet and everything outside which could be used for a fire was also wet. but inside was a pile of rubbish in a corner. The hut seemed to be the deserted camp of some trapper. Chin started to build a fire of the dry debris and Donkey began to look through the pile, l’.ut Chin cried: Come on. you lazy loafer, help me make this fire. Those old papers are no good; burn them.” Xo answer came from Donkey. He kept on poking about i:i the heap. He suddenly noticed a soiled, yellow piece of paper, which seemed dif- ferent from the rest. It proved to be not a piece of paper, but an old. dirty piece of parchment. Think- ing something of importance must be written on this non-perishable material he slipped it into his pocket. After supper. Donkey took the piece of parch- ment from his pocket and said. Say. Jack, what do you think this is? I found it in the heap of papers in the corner.” Jack looked it over to see if there was any writing on it. Then he went to the corner and washed the parchment thoroughly in a pail of water standing there. Again he tried to read by the flickering fire. Xot succeed- ing, he took a match from his pocket and lighted it. lie held it close and was just about to say that there were no words written on the parchment when words and figures slowly became distinct and this is the message he read: ‘‘One mile due west from the junction of Manchester Turnpike, and the Ray Path: oak tree in shelter of a ledge of rock: eight limb from ground; six feet out; drop a stone: fifty feet northeast, then twenty west.” What's that? asked Chin. Read it again.” The boys spent the rest of the evening surmis- ing what the strange message could mean, but finally arrived at the conclusion that something was buried somewhere in the woods. They decided that they would try to find it on the next day. After a hasty breakfast the following morning they set out to find what and where the Ray Path was. This was the thing that puzzled them most. They asked at several farmhouses but no one had ever heard of it. Finally they came to a dilapidated old house, where the fence had fallen into decay and the yard was overrun with chickens. On the porch an old man was seated. Thinking he might know about the old Ray Path. Jack approached him and lifting his hat. asked the question which had puzzled so many people. Rut he answered their question immediately, saying. “Why, you are on the old Ray Path. It was originally an Indian trail starting at lloston and going through Wal- tham. Worcester, and Springfield, and so on west until it reached the Hudson River. They then asked him how far from there it was to the Manchester Turnpike. He replied, “About a mile and a half to the right.” They hastened along the street until they came to the Manchester Road. They decided to have dinner before starting the search. Getting out their compass, they struck off into the woods in search of the .tree. Progress was very difficult through underbrush and swamp land. After a little while Chin said. Whew! it seems as if we had been five miles already.” Jack replied. Xow. fellows, watch close. We have been almost a mile, so we must be near the tree. Spread out. then we can find it quicker. Chin you watch the right. Donkey, you see that it doesn’t run past on your side and I will watch straight ahead.” SOM KR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Suddenly Chin, who had climbed upon a ledge that obstructed the view, shouted: Here it is. It takes me to show you things.” It was now night, so they had to encamp. The next morning Chin got up with a shout that woke the others, exclaim- ing: ”1 will bet anything 1 can find it before either of you!” As soon as breakfast was over. Jack went up the tree to drop the stone while Chin and Donkey stayed below t� sec where it would faii. When Jack was ready. Chin shouted, “Let it come!” The stone fell and rolled to one side. Pet'ore Jack, who, in his hurry to get down had fallen from the tree, could get up. the measurements were made and a stake driven in at the end of the line. The boys cleared away the underbrush and began dig- ging with the certainty that they had the right place at last. They dug until they had a hole about six feet across and five feet deep but found no sign of anything. They discussed all possible mistakes which they could have made. Then suddenly Chin burst out with: There! why didn't 1 think of it before? That old steel tape of mine was broken once and when it was riveted together it took almost a foot out of it. Come on! Lets re-meas- ure as quick as we can. This was speedily done and they set to work with renewed courage and soon uncovered an iron bound box covered with rust. They shattered the side oi the box, and Jack reached in and pulled out a belt with a leather wallet riveted to it. The others looked on while Jack again reached in and took out a large sheet of paper. Slowly lie read the following words:— 263 “Under the advise of my director, Marquis Lafayette, who ordered me, the envoy of 10,000,- 000 francs from France to General Washington, Commander in. Chief of the Continental Army of the American Colonies, to conceai this money, if at any time, danger overtook me. The place of concealment was planned for me by the Marquis, himself, by word of mouth. Signed. (PIERRE OESSA.) All made an involuntary movement towards the • wallet. Jack opened it and in it was an envelope with a great monogram seal within, the shape of a bine liiv. He broke the seal and took out a yellow paper, stained with deep orange colored spots, lie unfolded it and saw the figures, 10.000,- 000 francs. This works out all right. This is Pierre's money. Put what are we going to do with it,” said ( hiy. For a long time the boys wondered and planned what to do with the money, then Jack said i:i his usual decisive manner. Well, boys, we must con- nect with the United State Government as soon as we can. It was found in the government records, that the amount of money—Xo. Pit!—under the appeal of Lafayette to the French Government for money, that the French Government had a record of hav- ing sent the money, but the United States had no record of having received it. The United States had paid back the money, so now there was $3,000- 000 to be disposed of by Act of Congress, not for- getting a generous reward to the boys for their perserverance and energy as well as for their hon- estv. ♦ Mbiteclaw 36v? HMMlip 36. Xewts, 14 LOWLY, very slowly Whiteclaw raised his magnificent head above the moss-tuffed rock before him. A twig snapped on the other bank of the little canyon, and just as slowly and silently he withdrew his head and listened. Xo sound came from the high thicket opposite, and. in a somewhat reassured manner, the head was again slowly raised from its place of concealment. Only the faint gurgle of the rivulet in the bottom of the gorge broke the stillness of the moonlight as it played lightly upon the green and brown on the foliage. Higher, higher rose the head, and as it rose into the moonlight I lifted my forty-eight slowly to my shoulder and drew a bead along the glistening barrel. As the butt settled firmly to my shoulder and I nested my cheek almost lovingly against the stock, two glow- ing coals of fire rose silently over the boulder and remained fixed—almost blazing. 264 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Ye Gods, what a head! I thought, as I brought the sights iu line with, the black space between the coals, and measured off a good ten inches of dark- ness between them. I hate to do it. old chap, but you're a rotten nuisance and I--- but my finger had acted before 1 could speak my thoughts. The rifle spoke. A long tongue of flame seemed to have absorbed the two coals 1 had seen through the sight head. Then suddenly the coals shot straight into the air. they shot flame, they became, each one. the neuclcns of a small bonfire, tnev changed places and glowed again—a dying glow— and then as 1 laid down my rifle and knelt, almost paralyzed with excitement, my ears heard the most nerve-racking sound ever audible to mankind. From all sides of the rock-faced canyon—at least, it seemed from all sides—a cry of agony arose. It began in a mighty moan and ended in a whimp- ering shriek- horrible, ghostly, deadly. A fierce struggle was going on upon that mossy, grey boulder across the gorge; it was a struggle be- tween two mighty kings—Whiteclaw and Death. 1 listened. I could see nothing. The coals of fire had died out. I heard a terrible scratching upon the rock, a huge, dark object shot straight into the air, writhed a moment, then fell in a heap, rolled toward the edge of the canyon, lodged against a large cedar and lay motionless. “I've got him! 1 murmured, but 1 would have granted him life again had it been in my power. He put up a game fight—he should have lived— but he’s gone now.-so I suppose 1 must-- and I shrugged my shoulders, picked up the rifle and made my way slowly down the side of the canyon on my first safe visit to the renowned mountain king, Whiteclaw. After a tramp and climb of about half an hour, I came upon him—a wonderful specimen even in death. I stood in sincere admiration for a few minutes, my fingers tapping thoughfully upon the tube of steel that has brought about his destruc- tion. then laying down the gun I rolled back the huge, velvctlv lips and gazed silently at the im- mense fangs which had brouijht to a close so many lives, but which were now streaked with the death blood of their owner. Eor eight months I had tracked Whiteclaw. the terror of 1’hantom Gulch, and now—yes. I had won —but 1 was unhappy: angered that I had won. angered more that he had lost. Then I stooped and raised the seven-pound paw and in the moon- light I could easily see the long hooks, for they glistened brightly in the moonlight—and. what was more, what the boys had said was true--the claws glistened a pure ivory white! Then, with the unceremonious precision of the backwoods- man. I sat down and began removing the pelt from the largest mountain lion ever known to ha c in- habited the cliffs and canyons of Colorado. !t was the day of the anniversary of the fifteenth year after the above episode. Max field Mortimer and I were in the den of his suite of rooms at the keensboro. We had been in long conference over the murder of his cousin. Henry Mortimer, a pe- culiar case in which the murderer had robbed the murdered of a bracelet valued at $1.1 no. Henry had brought the bracelet as a birthday gift for his wife. and. as far as the detectives could make out from, the data furnished (there were no witnesses), the robber had seen him step into a doorway to light a cigar, had assaulted him, taken the brace- let from his pocket, and got away. Maxfield was a detective of national repute, and had put himself at the head of the investigation, and, as he had ts Id me many a time, he was going to sec this through if it was his last job. 1’ut I could see it was a fearful trial to him even though he was outwardly cool and calm. He was thinking hard about some clue as he passed the silver case to me and said quietly, Have another cigarette. Thank you, 1 will. I replied as I reached across the table and took one from the case. He was not looking at me at the moment, but as I reached forward he said suddenly:— Jack, you've got an unusual hand. Ever have your fortune told? Yo. I answered as I lighted a match. You didn't know that was one of my accom- plishments. eh? he smiled. 1 shook my head. Mind if I try? Xoi in the least. And I stretched my hand, palm upward across the table. Aha! Max raised his eyebrows. He ex- amined my hand very closely, then he picked up his convex lens and looked more closely still. “Oh. this is fine: it’s just like a book. You were born in C hicago about the year 1880----” . Say. how the----? I began. Please don’t interrupt me: this is very clear right here. You got a good primary, grammar, and high school education, then you went to—to. yes, Pennsylvania University and studied law. .and— well. I can't just make out what else.” He SOMERVILLE HIGH squinted a bit and bent nearer the glass as I twitched a trifle at the uncanniness of it all. “From there you went west to Colorado, I be- lieve, spent eleven years—possibly less—in hunt- ing and herding, and—by Jove, so that’s where you got that head you call ‘VVhitcclaw!' He glanced up suddenly, and 1 fairly melted be- fore his gaze, he was so intense, so enthusiastic over this new success of his. “Yes, what you’ve said is all true.” I assured him. “blit I’ll be switched if I see how you do it.” He again viewed my hand. You next came east and went into the jewelry business with Patterson Pinkham, made quite a little money, and then suddenly lost nearly all. Is that so. Jack?” Yes, that’s all so, but don’t you think this is getting a bit personal?” Ub. huh, p’raps it is.” and he leaned back in his chair, laid down his glass, and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Jack.---” he said slowly at length, tell me how you got Whiteclaw. Well, to tell you the truth, Mortimer. I don’t like to think about it very much.” That’s queer. Jack; seems to me anyone who had shot such a fine specimen as that would like to tell of the excitement of the fray.” I know, but it’s more than that, that troubles me—it’s—it’s—oh it’s the way he died that gets on me. I explained and threw my cigarette in the ash tray. I was busy brushing off my coat. In mv cars was ringing the howl of the (lying moun- tain lion, and above all. 1 could feel Mortimer look- ing hard at me all the while. 1 forgot to whom I was talking and spoke of my troubles just as they appeared to me. Yes. it was a game fight, that between Whiteclaw and Death—but Death won;— thanks to me. curse the luck! It was on the full moon, clear, cold. I had been on his track for months and I remember—yes, I can sec them now, his eyes, just as they looked as they rose above the great dark boulder on the west side of tjie Phantom Gulch canyon. How I shudder as I think of his dying shriek—oh. Max, it was like the dying gasp of a human being! A human being? echoed Mortimer. W hat do you know about the ’dying gasp of a human be- ing?’ ” Why. nothing, only I imagined th---” Say, you have the funniest imaginings of any man I ever saw.

Are you crazy?” No, but 1 shall be if you don’t tell me whether you did it or not! ‘Tell you if I did what?

I accuse you. Jack I’roekton. of the murder of Henry Mortimer! He took a step nearer me, and his hands opened and closed convulsively as if his fingers were eager to entwine themselves about my throat. I was angered to the utmost, but I stood my ground, and with a tremendous effort I answered him quickly, 1 was at Patterson Pinkham’s working overtime on a new alloy. You—working overtime! Rats! Come, now, tell me. and tell me truthfully, is there or isn’t there the stain of a murdered Mortimer on your mind? I thought of Whiteclaw as lie sprang into the air when wounded. Now I was wounded. All my forces were crouched for a spring.. I sprang, not into the air, hut the figure that glowered over me. No! I shouted. I have not the stain of a mur- dered Mortimer upon my heart now. but in a very few moments I will have!” No you won’t. muttered Mortimer.

Listen, and I will recount with you the events of the evening of May 14, upon the occasion of our Senior Soiree, that of the Class of 1914 and 1915-A. At half-past six upon that diffcrcnt-from-all- other evenings” we were assembled in the hall- ways outside of the school hall awaiting our turn to be escorted to our seats about the prettily arranged tables within. The girls arrayed like so many butterflies, flitting here and there, were in bright and dazzling contrast to the boys in their dark suits and up-to-the-minute collars and neck- ties grouped in the main corridor. Finally, after each young lady usher had captured her last masculine classmate, and each usher from among the young men had persuaded the last waiting young ladies to go with him. and when one and all had made his or her bow before the receiving line, honored by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Avery. Miss Raymond, Mr. Hall. Mr. Foster, and presidents. James Scanlon, and Earle Cushing, everyone sat down to a banquet of boun- teous proportions. Before each plate we found a handsome souvenir menu with a prill of the school pin raised upon the front cover. The printing within was done in 'll green, while the tassels used as a binding were in ' 1 5-A colors—orange and black. I util nearly eight o’clock we found before us to cat. almost everything we could desire, from turkey and salads to ice cream and cake. The time was made more enjoyable still by the excel- lent playing of the Treadwell’s orchestra upon the stage. I he balcony was open to friends, and as one by one, whether stealthily or not, the members of the Faculty entered, enthusiastic cheers greeted them. The Spirit of 1914 was in the air. As soon as the feast was over, a few passed their menus about for signatures. 'I'lie idea spread like wildfire, and soon almost everyone was secur- ing autographs. At eight-thirty, the entertainment began; an exhibition of Spanish dancing bv two ot our girls. Tlie balcony was nearly filled with friends, and on the floor sat 250 of the 290 of the Class of 1914, and of the thirty members of 1915-A. For the second number, Phil Lewis, ’ll. pre- sented an original monologue in which he, as a society man. became involved in a very compli- cated situation, but from which he finally extri- cated himself, and. as a result, found an old High School friend. •Frances McLaughlin, after this, gave us a very clever exhibition of toe dancing. Following this, a selection was most pleasingly read by Dorothy Hayes, '14. ()ur newly elected orator, Clinton Carvell. then gave us a most interesting sample of tbe way in which he may have written his oration. The names of several of our Class and of the Faculty appeared in the monologue, which was original. He became so earnest in his declamations to an imaginary audience that when we could laugh no harder, lie was pulled from the stage by the stage manager, Sumner Wiley. [Continued on page 273.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 267 H IDeroic IDeet 36 tb. Xeacb, T4 ■ E was only a little, ragged urchin pre- sumably about eight years of age. and as he stood at the corner, a pile of newspapers in his arms, he shiv- ered frequently for the cruel wintry blast pierced his thin clothing. The little boy boarded a car and upon perceiv- ing a beautiful young lady attired in a most be- coming old rose silk gown, seated himself be- side her. John sat motionless for a short period and then very gently lingered the shining silk. The lady apparently seemed not to notice it. and the little fellow becoming encouraged, lifted a fold of the shimmering fabric and placed it upon his poor little patched knee. Many sympathetic witnesses in the car noticed this trivial incident and some smiled as if understanding the feeling which prompted the boy to caress the silk so reverently. But the beautiful young lady (beautiful physi- cally. but not spiritually), noticed for the first time her seatmatc. Haughtily scanning the little lad’s poor but clean clothing, she angrily cried. “Child, take vour dirty hands off of my nice dress immediately. What do you mean bv such a rude action? If you wish to sit beside me you had better keep your hands where they belong. The poor embarrassed little fellow shrank back into his seat overcome by his audacity. A few of the passengers were mentally approving the woman’s action, while the majority were inter- ested in and sympathized with John. Shortly afterward the young woman left the car and a jolly motherly woman crossed the aisle and sat beside the child. Tenderly stroking one of the boy’s thin hand� she inquired why he had “carresscd the shimmering folds of silk. “Well. mam. it did look so pretty that I was pre- tending that I had a beautiful mother like that lady, who had curly hair and a lovely silk dress.” The motherly woman sympathetically pressed the boy's hand. She naturallv desired to know a few facts concerning the child. “Is your mother dead? she inquired. “Yes. sobbed the boy, “I think she died when I was very small. “You poor child I know how to sympathize with you as my mother died when I was only ten years old. The motherly lady became so interested in the frank iittle fellow that she wished to accompany him to his home (if such it might be called.) After leaving the car the two companions walked ior a few minutes in silence. As they approached a very dilapidated, tumble-down sort of a dwelling place, John announced rather bash- fully. “This is my house. A very slatternly looking woman greeted John with. “Well, did you sell many papers today? Hurry now. and hand over that money. Mean- while she stared insolently at the boy’s compan- ion. How do you do, replied the motherly woman, “I am Mrs. Stokes and 1 have come to call upon you in order to obtain some information regard- ing tins child.” “Are you related to John? “Xo. mum. I have just been taking care of him.” “Taking care of him.” echoed Mrs. Stokes, “I should say that you had not been taking :are of him. 'Phe woman then began to expostulate, but it was clearly evident that any training which John had possessed was due to his own credit. A long conversation ensued, but nevertheless Mrs. Stokes obtained but a meager amount of information as the slatternly woman preferred t digress chiefly upon the “trouble of the boy. In fact iier entire discussion consisted of a lengthly whining complaint. The result of this interview, however, was exceedingly satisfactory to Mrs. Stokes. Half an hour later you might have seen an ex- tremely happy woman accompanied by a still happier, radiant little boy whose hand she clasped as if unwilling to part from him. John carried his few pitiful worldly possessions with an air of pride. It would take but a short time to enumerate them. I can assure you. His precious Bible, which his father (on his deathbed), had given him compelling him to promise to read it faithful!v and obey it : a copy of “Boy’s Life of Abraham Lincoln”: “Grimm’s Fairy Tales ; a a small bag with a few glass marbles; a small, battered, red top: two pieces of chalk; a nearly worn-out pencil, and a tiny parcel consisting of his entire outfit. As they strolled along so eager and excited, and oh—so happy—tlie fire bells suddenly clanged and the fire engines, with their wild tooting and that ceric noise, with which we are all so familiar, dashed helter-skelter tbrought the already crowded avenue. 268 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Suddenly amid all this wild clanging and con- fusion Mrs. Stokes and John were amazed to sec a little fair-haired girl of about six years of age, attempt to cross the busy throughfare. She was becoming more confused and bewildered and meanwhile the tearful horses were rapidly gallop- ing towards her. All were paralyzed with fear, and the horses gallop, gallop, gallop; the firemen are powerless to check them. Stiii aii gaze as if petrified. The horses approach, nearer and nearer until—suddenly the crowds are amazed to behold the little fair-haired girl quickly and deftly thrown out of the path of the horses’ cruel hoofs, and then siler.ee reigns a moment to be broken by wild, hearty cheers. Finally the firemen obtained control of the frightened animals. Rut alas! What has become of our little hero, who is he and where is he? One could scarcely obtain a glimpse of him as he lay on the cold earth. After a 1 ng interval a physician arrived, and John, for you surely.have realized that he was the brave hero, was gently laid on a stretcher, tenderly placed in the ambulance, and rapidly driven to the large, quiet hospital, where neatly gowned attendants administered to the patient sufferers. « i « ft ft Two months later a pale, weak, but happy little boy smiling sadly, was propped up among the snowy pillows. He was thinking of his kind bene- factor. Mrs. Stokes, when the nurse ushered in the subject of his thoughts— his Lady Beautiful.” Their meeting was joyful although pathetic, be- cause John was as yet too weak to be greatly dis- turbed or excited. John. dear, would you like me to read to you for a short while?” Yes. dear Mrs. Stokes. I would love to hear a g d fain story. Will you please read that one in Grimm's fairy tales that I like so much?” I he lady smiled acquiescently and went to ob- tain his old shabby v dume. She read in her clear interesting voice until she reached the end of the page, the boy eagerly drinking it in. s she turned the worn leaf, her face suddenly paled, her features worked convulsively and with- out warning she fell unconscious. o attendant quickly rushed to her assistance and in a few minutes Mrs. Stokes regained her faculties. In her hand was. tightly clasped, an old love letter, yellow with age but still legible. Perhaps you wonder why the mere glance at an old letter would cause such emotion but—that belongs in another part of this story. The epistle was brief and signed in a delicate hand, simply Ruth. This letter was written by Mrs. Stokes during her early girlhood and happy courtship days. My dear child, how comes this old letter in your story book, what has it to do with you?” I don’t know,” answered the boy. ‘‘I only know that the woman with whom I used to live told me that she wasn’t sure whose it was, and when I asked many questions about it. she used to say: ()h. child, do stop pestering me with your foolish questions, perhaps it belonged to your mother. ()ne day when I was especially inquisitive the woman tore the paper out of my hand and was about to throw it into the fire but I cried for a long time. Then she rescued it and said to me, Well keep your old letter. I am sure I’don’t want it.” Do you remember your mother or father, John-- continued Mrs. Stokes in a dreamy man- ner. “So, I don't really remember them, but when ! think of mv mother, it seems to me.—it seems as if she really must have looked like you.” Meanwhile the slatternly woman” was hurriedly summoned and she then related her experiences regarding John. She told her attentive listeners that she had re- sided in San Francisco for many years, but when the terrible earthquake visited the “City of the Golden Gate in inns, she was rendered homeless and destitute. As she and her husband were fleeing from the unfortunate city they noticed a little boy violently weeping. In some way the lad had become separated from his parents and did not know where to turn. The young couple had taken the little fellow to Boston, where they had since lived, amid pov- erty. squalor and constant wranglings among their foreign neighbors. John had sold newspapers and thus was enabled to earn a mere pittance. Oh. my dear little boy. I am vour mother, and you are mv long-lost son whom I believed dead,” cried Mrs. Stokes, clasping the boy to her hungry heart. “For many years I have sought for you in every conceivable way. Your uncle and I spent thou- sands of dollars advertising and finally as all ap- parent means had failed we mourned you as dead.” exclaimed Mrs. Stokes. “You may be sure that John was the happiest boy in Boston on that memorable day, and. was glad to find his “pretty mother. As he advanced in age he never wearied telling his friends of his eventful boyhood life and its remarkable re- sults.

Crawforb, ’14 ,7y3STi WIXG to the fact that I was bred in the country where houses were two miles apart, and where there was little chance ot seeing your neigh- bors often, the only friends I can remember were the animals on and about the farm. In one instance I recall a neigh- bor's child came to see me. and as we did not get along well she never came again, but one could hardly call this friendship. These farm friends were numerous, far Hoo numerous to name, for having a kind and friendly heart towards all dumb animals. 1 made friends with all from the timid rabbit of the woods to the strong, powerful work horse in the barn. But of all these friends there was only one who proved to be a true friend, and that one was the big. shaggy Newfoundland dog, “It. He had re- ceived this peculiar name because upon his ar- rival in our household everyone suggested a name for him. I having found him. felt it was my priv- ilege to name him, and being an obstinate child, I refused all help in the way of names. As it took me some time to think up a suitable name, he in the meantime was called ‘ It. The name seemed to suit him well and he was so called ever after. He was indeed a friend for he played with me and went to school with me, in fact he did every- thing I wanted him to and more. He was my shadow from the time I found him, a dirty, ragged heap, to the time he gave up his life for me. At the east side of our farmhouse was an old well. It had not been used for some time and the boards covering it were old and rotten. I had been told to keep away from it. for the old boards might give way if any weight was put upon them. but many times I would go and gaze longingly upon it. for childlike I wanted to do that which I was told not to do. One day the temptation became too great and I yielded. 1 stepped onto the boards, but nothing happened. I jumped up and down, still nothing happened. Just then It appeared. He knew 1 was doing wrong and took hold of my dress and tried to pull me away but it was useless. Seeing he could do no good by pulling, he sprang on the boards and gave me such a push that I rolled to the ground. As I fell I heard a crash and looked to see It disappearing down the well. I hroughly frightened I screamed for help which came immediately. After many efforts. “It. still breathing, was lifted from the well and taken to the house. What a pitiful sight! A large stone had fallen from the side and crushed his head, two feet hung limp, broken: his whole body was bruised and bleeding. I did not weep then for I was dazed by what I saw. We made him as comfortable as possible, but there was no hope of his living. Within half an hour lie died. I had had no experience of death, and was oppressed by the sorrowful silence, as well as awed by the great mystery which I felt but could not understand. When I realized that un- friend would never run and play with me again. I threw myself, in a passion of grief, into my father's arms, and sobbed out; my sorrow. This friendship has proved lasting, though not with the one first friend, he passed out of my life, but with all of his kind. Tt is because of the de- voted friendship of this one dog that I count each and every dog as my friend. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 271 “Hlma Abater” Dclcn IU. IponD, T3 “Ah, my ‘Alma Mater.’ dear old Somerville High School, how 1 love you! Now that gradua- tion draws near how I regret the wasted hours; never more shall I seek knowledge at your por- tals : your gates are opened wide. What lies be- yond the threshold? Now must I go forth among the reapers. What will my harvest be? Whatever it is I owe it all to you, my Alma Mater.’ ” So. with tears glistening in her dark eyes. Cherry gazed at the picture in her hand. The “Alma Mater’’ was the most prized of all her graduation gifts. On the table by her side lay her pearl necklace, a dia- mond ring, a leather-bound edition of Shakes- peare. and a dozen other more trivial gifts. Vet none had touched her so deeply as the copy of her favorite picture. A full realization of its mean- ing surged through her very soul. Silently Cherry turned off the lights, and Hing- ing open her window, permitted a Hood of moon- light to stream in. The soft white light spread a mysterious veil over the world. The warm zephyrs of the June night caressed her cheek. The roses beneath the casement window filled the air with delicate fragrance. Tenderly, almost reverently, the girl brushed a white rosebud across her lips, murmuring: I, too. am only a bud—a pure white bud like you. Shall I wither quickly? Ah. no! I’ve a deeper mission in life: I’ve a debt to pay to my beloved Alma Mater.' Some day I shall lay my 'Holy Grail' at her feet. At present it would be satisfaction enough just to make the undergraduates realize how precious are their remaining years. Oh. the sting of wasted hours! Whatever our work may be. whether college or business, our ‘Alma Mater’ is the very bulwark of our future. ’As ye sow. so shall ye reap.’ Suddenly the door burst loudly open before the impetus of a small whirlwind. From the midst of the confusion of Hying books and papers emerged the golden locks of Cherry's room-mate, Jean. “Why so pensive, dear one?” she questioned, dropping on the couch beside Cherry. '1 here, how stupid of me! I almost forgot that I came on serious business—a note from ‘Sliver. “From ‘Sliver’? Why. I don’t see what he can want. I took that horrid Trig, exam, ages ago. What can lie want?” “Here, read it by my flashlight. “Jean! lie’s lost tlie last set of examination papers, so all of 11s who were doubtful must take that exam. over. I know I’ve forgotten all that work. Way didn’t I keep a note-book?” ‘ Cheer up, dearest. responded Jean, ‘ you may borrow mine. I've the work all written out. and all you'll have to do is to memorize it.” “llut, Jean, that would be your work, not mine.” ‘ Hut your fussy scruples aside for this once, dear. “Xo. Jean, I can't. Could I lay a stolen trophy at my Alma Mater's’ feet? “Brsh! You’re sentimental and over-wrought to-night. Anything 1 have is half yours, chum.” You must n’t tempt me, jean. I must not ac- cept your work. I'll plug it out alone, dear.” All right. Miss Scrupulous, I’m going canoe- ing. So long! Here's my note-book. With another slam of the door Jean was gone. Alone ( berry faced the closed note-book so con- venienti) near. Her face was sternly set. Softly the tiny dock on the mantel chimed the midnight hour. I must hurry or the girls will be back for a spread. It is useless to try. I never can accom- plish my task. ( ne cannot make up a two- months’ review in a day. It was unfair of ‘Sliver to lose that set of exams. I’ve forgotten most of that stuff by this time. Oh. my ‘Alma Mater,”' sobbed Cherry. She was weary and spent with weeping when Jean returned. Her heart seemed breaking. If only Jean would be quiet! “Cherry, dearest. I've the most glorious news for you. darling. she laughed, dancing her about the room like a whirling dervish. At last they sank exhausted on the couch. “ ‘Sliver’ has apologized to the Faculty for his stupid mistake. He has found the lost exams. '1 Ie sent a case of books to his son at the Academy and accidentally enclosed the papers, which his s n has at last dutifully returned. Now. let’s go over to Rose’s room—she's serving ice cream and fudge. Dandy combination! My mouth is water- ing for an ice.” Cherry was too full of joy for words, but hugged her chum silently. Before retiring that night she pressed a tear-stained cheek against the ‘Alma Mater.” crying, softly: “Thank God and you, my beloved ‘Alma Mater.’ My one prayer is that yve may so live that some day you may proudly point to us and say: ‘Behold what the class of 10—has achieved!’ What reward could be greater than that?” 272 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S With this issue, the staff of 1913-14 makes its final bow. It is with some misgivings, too, for it means that we are no longer High School pupils, and now we must go out into the great world and do our life’s work. W e wish to thank those pupils who have aided us this year, by sending in material; and the school as a whole for its hearty co-operation, and most oi all. the staff for the masterly way in which they have done their duties. As associate.editor. Miss Mercer has been will- ing to do any work assigned to her. The alumni editors. Misses Kilgore and Mc- Culley, have been very efficient workers and have done their work well, while the exchange column, under the guidance of Miss Wilde, has been on a par with any of its predecessors. As staff artist, the work of Miss Wallace needs no commendation, for her posters have been ad- mired by all. The athletic column was ably taken care for by Scanlon, and the business end of the management was admirably 1m ked out for by Brigham and his assistants. In closing, we wish to thank those members of the bacuity. Miss Merrill and Mr. Ilosmer, for their suggestions and help about numerous little matter which have caused us trouble. Seniors, the four years that constitute your High School course are ended and soon we will be separated, some of us will go to College, while others will go to work. but. wherever you go. re- member that you are a graduate of the Somerville High School. As a final parting, the Radiator wishes the best of good luck and immeasurable success to the Class of 1914 a a whole, and to each individual member. I � At last our long-wished-for championship has arrived. The baseball team has fulfilled the ex- pectations of the school, and has now, its first Sur- burban League Championship to its credit, and we hope that this is the first of a long string. Much credit is due to Coach Saunders' for this cham- pionship. and also to Captain Jim Robertson, who has proved himself to be one of the greatest all- round athletics Somerville High has ever had. I his school year has proved one of the lumpiest in the history of the school. First of all. the school as a unit, with no afternoon session; the comple- tion of a hall, in which the entire student body can assemble: the institution of the monthly entertain- ments given by the Students’ Council, and the dif- ferent class socials all of which aided inestimably for encouraging school spirit. These events have SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 273 marked this year as a Red Letter in the history of the school, and let us hope that this is only the beginning of better things to come. r. r r At the meeting of the Radiator staff held June 10, the following staff were elected for year 1914-15:— Editor-in-chief. John Chipman, 15-1’ ; associ- ate editor, Olive Foster, ’15-B; business man- ager, Merrill W allace. 15-1� ; first assistant busi- ness manager. Roscoe Elliot, TG-B; second as- sistant business manager. Brian Gowen. 15-B; sporting editor. Ernest Stockwell, 15-B; ex- change editor. Carita Hunter. 15-B;. alumni ■editors, Alva Maynard. 15-B, Margaret Wiley, 15-B; staff artist. Dorrs Cresto, 15-B; treasurer, faculty, George M. Ilosmer. r r K Mrs. Frank C. Bufford, of Winchester, formerly of Somerville, and always much interested in the schools of the city, has presented to the High School a marble bust of Diana—the beautiful and graceful Diana is a valuable addition to the art equipment of the school. r. We reprint in this issue, Miss Helen Pond's Alma Mater from the Radiator. June, 13. Miss Pond was an earnest helper of the Radiator dur- ing her entire course. She entered the freshman class of Boston University. Her tragic death is deeply lamented. r Unfortunately, Henry Derby, the assistant business manager of the Radiator, could not be present at the taking of the staff picture. This is to he regretted. We regret to say that the pictures of Herbert MacIntyre, the historian, and James Robertson, the prophet, were taken too late in order to be published in the Radiator. K r r, r. A NOTABLE RECORD. Following closely upon the record set by Miss Eva Given, of the Class of 1913, is that of Miss Emily I. Damery, 191 1, who has not been absent, tardy, or dismissed during her four years at High School, nor during her nine years in the Elemen- tary Schools. We congratulate Miss Damery up- on her marvelous preserverance and grit which she must have shown to make this record possible. XT be Senior Soiree [Continu'd fiom |' ge2«Gi As a final number, a band of waiter minstrels, grouped about seven or eight tea tables, assisted four colored minstrels, a rube and a Hebrew to perform for nearly an hour. Earle Cushing, ’15-A, as George Washington Memorial, was especially active in flirtations with the girls, and Sumner Hunter, '15 . as Rastus Brown, was a decided hit in his negro impersonations. Maurice Trustinit- zer, '14, as Mr. Perritinitus White; Norman Ray, '14. as Mr. Johannson; Harold Van Ummersen, 15-A. as Deacon Jones and Forrest Bursley, as Jerimiah Jenkins, with their jokes, hits, and antics, with difficulty restrained, by Sumner Wiley, as interlocutor, kept us laughing most of the time. As we sang Somervilla.” and departed on that evening, who of us did not regret that it was over, and who did not feel a deeper thrill of loyalty to 191 I or to 191 l-A and a sincere love for our Alma Mater? Let us go on hearing and answering for many years the echoes of that evening, and of the good old days of 1914. 274 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Glass By? Walter B. TNUleg, '14 Class Day. that of 1914, has gone, the ivies are planted and 1914 is to be represented upon the walls of our buildings by a most beautiful pic- ture. To add to the impressiveness of the occasion the undergraduates assembled in the hall pre- vious to the entrance of the Senior Class and re- mained standing until the Seniors had taken their seats. At ten minutes past one the school filed from the hall.and grouped by classes about the front of the building to receive the Seniors who marched to their places, while the Faculty cheered them heartily as they passed. The Class Orator. Clinton Carvell, held us within the sway of the inspiring theme of his oration for many minutes. Hie school was seated with less than a full seat for each person, and in an auditorium with a temperature of blood heat yet hardly a whisper could have been heard in that time. '1'lie presentation to the school of the picture, a reproduction of Edwin Blaschfield’s famous painting. Washington Laying 11 is Commission at the Feet of Columbia was very finely done by George W. Rood, of the Presentation Com- mittee of the Senior Class. Mr. Avery very graciously received the gift for the school. The Class Ode, written by Miss Louise F, Magoon was sung impressively by the Senior Class. A few remarks from President James C. Scan- lon and Mr. Avery helped the graduating class to realize more fully the regretted proximity of graduation and the honored position they were then holding in the school soon to be their Alma Mater. ‘The American Hymn and “America” suirg by the entire school kept spirit and feeling of loyally running high. The Ivies were then presented to the school for 1914 bv Miss Florence L. Campbell; for J915-A by Miss Geraldine Gray. '1 he 14 Ivy Committee, consisting of Walter I’� . Wiley, chairman, Miss Florence F. Campbell and Holland 11. Rooney then planted the ivy at the western end of the building. Side of it was placed that of To-A by Earle I. Cushing, chair- man. Miss Geraldine Gray, as the Ivy Committee of that class. President Scanlon then presented the spade to Clayton Ellis, president of the Junior class, after which the Green and Gray were made the colors of 1917-1� , and the orange and black those of 19IS-A, by the transfer of banners from the grad- uating classes to the freshmen classes. The exercises were concluded by cheers from each class for 1914, Mr. Avery, the Faculty and the School. Such were the exercises held for the first time within the walls of our grand auditorium and ol our school building. ------------ jfacultv 10;3 'fhe faculty’s colors were black and blue, but neither they nor their score bore that appearance as a result of the game. The teacher-players played excellent ball throughout the game; Mr. Hosmer doing commendable stick work, while Guy Blodgett picked them right off the bat as back-stop. Mr. Hayward showed up well in the box, demonstrating that chalk is not the only article of “which he is an expert t wirier. At only one point, in the game was a riot nearly created—. Who docs not remember Mr. Hawes standing on first posing for the amateur photographers? (Pictures are at a premium). Mr. Jaynes sus- tained the only injury of the game. The result was a “mistake” for which we make a humble apology, as only one-third of the faculty’s ap- ponents consisted of regular seniors.

Our High School days arc over. If any one does not regret leaving these familiar halls, let him look back over his four-years’ course and count the good times ex- perienced. Aren’t the hard times and little mis- haps completely over-shadowed by the hard things conquered, the good times experienced, and the friendships made? If you go to College, harder work is in store for you; if you go to work, what is study to the drudgery of every-day business? Remember these things, classmates, as you join the host of alumni and look back upon the days spent with your Alma Mater. I)'� you know Somcrvilla well enough to sing before those blood-thirsty Sophomores next Sep- tember? W e have reached the last fence between our- selves and the possession of that long-looked-for diploma Are we going over it with a bound with that precious roll safe in our arms, or are we looking for a weak picket that we may squeeze In- to reach the other side? Here’s to the man who invented our season tickets. May there be more like him! A specimen of our historian’s (Mac) vocabulary; “A man sinuously winds his insiduous way.” Notice: “On June 25, the Academic Association will award its S to deserving members in the shape of the diploma. They will be received by the “sweatters.” Even if it is hot weather get a “Radiatoit”; it may prevent home-sickness at College next fall. Someone said the other day that he had pur- chased the “Radiatok” this winter because it con- tained so much hot air. No bouquets please.

Freeman was reading the story of Salmonius's attempt to imitate the lightening of Zeus by hurl- ing a burning torch through the air. Quote he “If I had been Salmonius I would have used a Win- chester.” A good way to shoot up the town Tom, but Winchester wasn’t on the map in Salmonius’s time. Home-Run Jim took a run home after the home- run. Rooney “bedews his countenance with large tears.” The Editors thank the faithful few who have helped now and then to swell our column. To those who have only knocked or remained passive, —well never mind. It will be an innovation this year to be graduated from our own hall, and to face our friends and relatives from the stage. Some of us will have a small autograph album in the shape of a Soiree menu to remind us of old friends and good times when we arc seasoned Alumni. How many editions of your book on marriage have you issued, Jones? Some of us arc becoming real chemists (?). We shall be able to go into the soap business or be- come milk inspectors.

Fiske, our future College professor. We are represented in the School Rank by John Robinson and George Kendall. Walter Moore, a member of our class threw a few balls to Cushing in the Rindge game. Never mind the score. The great question now under discussion is why Bud Moore had such a grouch on his face in the class picture. Was it because the sun was in his eyes, or because he was parted from his old divis- ion. or was he nervous thinking of how he was going to beat Rindge the next day?

Another mystery has entered our life, class- mates. A gentleman by the name Le Beau signed his name on the blackboard the other day. ()-o-oh, Jerry, we wouldn't give you away, even if you did have to stay a week after school. Someone suggested that a little board be hung around Currie’s neck with the names of his books painted on. He is a terrible case, when even Mr. ()----has to bring his books to him.

If we can’t get an “A” we should at least try for an “$.” A lady got on the car followed by six of her Freshmen boys (1918-A.) “Lady, are all those boys yours?” asked a woman near by. “or is this a High School picnic?” “They are mine,” she replied curtly, and. be- lieve me. it’s no picnic.” Miss C—per was notified that she could retain her seat in English if she would be more dignified.

Self-cultivation merely means the cultivation of ourselves by ourselves. And so we, every individual one of us, must cultivate ourselves. Others may help and must help us to a certain extent, but the real hard work must be (!: ne by ourselves. We should do the work and n 1 merely think about it: do it day after day and not grow weary. Early and often we must be busy and be satisfied to have a great deal of labor produce but a small result. We arc only cheating ourselves if we neglect the study of our “beautiful English language. The question arises, What good will the mastery of English do us? If the only reward,—and surelv this one is not to be despised.—was to have the ability to converse with good speakers and writers, we ought to be satis- fied. Hut that is not the only reward. There are many more, too numerous to mention. Changing a few words in Benjamin Franklin's quota- tion we have: To be a good English scholar is no great honor, but to be a poor one is an ever- lasting disgrace.” The first great sign-post, guiding us on to the complete mastery of English is: “Look well to your speech. How often do we write in compar- ison with the number of times we speak? Profes- sor Palmer says that we write once for every one hundred times we speak, and that statement is no exaggeration. Therefore, through speech it is decided whether a person has command of the language or not. The influence of speech has marked nearly every great age of literature. The Homeric poems were addressed to the ear, not to the eye. The dis- tinctive glory of Greek literature is that it is not book literature, but speech literature. The great philosophers, such as Socrates and Plato, gave ail their teachings by speech and so did Herodotus, the “Father of Greek History.” Even today there arc Arab story-tellers in Egypt who interest the people who are unable to read, and perhaps those that are able. Our own literature shows the similar tendency to that of the Greeks. Its book- ish times arc its failing times; its talking times, its glory. We all have the same opportunities, whether rich or poor, idle or busy, if we only have a sturdy purpose. To gain power we must have strong de- sire. patience and alacrity in counting every occas- sion of consequence. Professor Palmer says again and again, “Watch your speech.” That is all which is needed. Only it is desirable to know what qual- ities of speech to look for. There are three qual- ities and these are accuracy, audacity, and range. Accuracy must be present in everything we do and, as wc must let our language be our own, obe- dient to our needs, audacity is also necessary. These first two cannot be practiced by us unless we have a wide range, so all three qualities are of special importance. 1 he second precept is. Welcome every oppor- tunity for writing. Although speech is more important than writing, there arc many things it cannot teach. It is writing that teaches us struc- ture and compels unity of thought. Writing should not be drudgery to us but pleasure, and we should seek opportunities of writing instead of avoiding them. Perhaps we should be selfish in obtaining cul- ture. but every utterance really concerns two per- sons. so always remember the othcr person. Be- cause we are lacking in imagination we talk merely for personal relief and do not care whether our listener is helped or hindered. The fourth precept which is Lean upon your subject is an important one. The subject is the source of our knowledge and power. VVe must know, be full of and really lean upon our sub- ject. All great writers forget themselves and their writing becomes a kind of transparent win- dow on which reality is reflected and through which people sec not the author but that of which they write. Perhaps in our hard toil, in conquering the Eng- lish language, we would be helped and inspired by the thought that. If a man can build a better house, make a better mouse trap, preach a better sermon, or may I add. speak better English than his neigh- bor, though he made his home in the woods, the world will make a beaten pathway to his door. Every word we hear or read should be made our own. An excellent motto for those that are trying to enlarge their vocabularies is “Do it Now. 286 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR | Life isajestarxlall things show it, I thoughtsooikc but dqv!

Dopfctns, ’15 36 are onc not the largest high schools in Greater Boston. We have a rHn,tati m in athletics similar to that of Harvard or Yale among the Colleges, while we may not have champion teams every year, they are always to he feared. But in comparison witii our size very few hoys take part in athletics. Out of nine hundred boys. !e s than eighty take active part in the school's sports each year. We have, as cverv one knows, football, baseball, hockey, and track athletics just beginning; of these football and baseball are the only ones that bring in money. Each year a large sum of money is turned over to the citv for the use of the field. Do we take that much money's worth out of the field in a year, in reality about six months? Why not take some of the money and establish more sports, or increase those which we already have? By this I mean the forming of second teams, which should play out a regularly fixed schedule, and the players receiving an S 2nd., or a sweater, or both for their work. Class teams should also be encouraged, but more will be said on them later. In having these various teams, 'varsity material can be strengthened and developed, they acting as a reserve, as do the minor leagues for the major leagues in baseball. Waltham. Everett, and other schools encourage their second teams, and in al- mos� every college it is almost as much of an honor as to be on t'.ic 'varsity. Xow for the ebss teams; Every class should have a team and a series played oft’ between tltem. They should also play outside games as far as possible. The only fixed event that we have in the intcrclass line, is the track- meet. Interclass contests should be arranged in all sports. Once in a while a class gets up a base- ball or football team now. but it should be a per- manent affair, not merely a matter of the energy of the class. A series might be arranged between the Kreshmcn and Sophomores, including the dif- ferent sports, for which the class winning the ma- jority should have the privilege of dominating. In addition to these improvements which have been mentioned, there arc several new sports which might be added to our present list. There are several which are being- taken up by many schools of smaller size than ours. First there is soccer football, the coming game. It is being taken up by the Boston schools, particularly the smaller ones. It does not require necessarily such a large physique as American footbaii, and therein lies its possibilities, as many boys of smaller stature could be given a chance. It is the opinion of the college men now playing the game, that it will rank with American football for its popularity, in a few years. Lacrosse is another game that is coming right up. It is a sort of hockey played on the ground and is valued for its hockey training, as well as for being a fine sport. Here the ques- tion may be raised where will the coach come from for these two sports? Harvard University Athle- tic Association is always ready to give aid in these lines, by having some of her players Instruct vari- ous teams. Cross country racing and running is another sport, which should be added in the com- ing year, along with the track team. We should have a team to race other schools, and besides en- courage boys to take up cross-country running, not racing, as it is one of the most healthful and strength-building forms of exercise. It also offers an unlimited chance, as no “cuts” need be made. A form of exercise which develops a keen eye and a keen brain is rifle shooting. This sport is backed by the government, who furnish rifles to any school desiring to take up the sport. It also teaches the participant how to handle a rifle prop- erly. A.s for a place in which to shoot, the state allows the use of its armories. Although rowing is almost out of question, still it is a possibility. Some of tile schools in Boston are as far from the water as we. Harvard lends shells and other paraphernalia, as do the rowing clubs to schools taking up the sport. We have either the Mystic or the Charles, the former being the better, although a boathouse and landing would have to be constructed. Let us hope that Somerville High will sometime wake up and foster this most bene- ficial sport. Besides these sports which have been named, [Continued on page ;:09] SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 289 Where’s the school a-goin’ And what’s it going to do?

Zbc Girls’ Bebattno Society The Girls’ Debating Society was founded last February by a few Senior girls with Miss Hunt and Miss Sprague as advisors. The constitution was drawn up by the Constitution Committee, and accepted by the eight charter members. Member- ship was opened to all girls attending the High School, and forty-eight girls joined. The society has held a few minor debates at its meetings, and one debate against the Boys Debating Club, at their challenge. The subject was: “Resolved, That Women Should Be Granted the Ballot. ’ The speakers were: Affirmative—Elizabeth Laurie. 14 ; Dorothy Haves, ’ll: Anna McCully, 14. Rebut- tal— Dorothy Hayes. Negative—Thomas Scan- lon. 1«;: John Chipman, 15; Joseph Smith, 16. Rebuttal—Thomas Scanlon. I he judges were Miss Merrill, Mr. Hosmer, and Mr. Poor, of the Faculty. The decision was unan- imous in favor of the affirmative. A challenge was received from the Girls’ Debat- ing Society, of the Brookline High School, before this society was formed, but it was impossible to accept it this year. Next year the society intends to prove to Brookline, that Somerville has a Girls' Debating Society as well as a Boys’ Debating Society. Margaret Hanlon, Secretary.

I he last man to look for praise but after all is said and done, the man who in a Targe way de- serves much, is Hilly Fitzgerald for his splendid record this season. You have seen batting order upon batting order, but never a winner that lacked a reliable twirler. Our track season has uncovered at least one dark horse in Hall Carpenter. The fact that he won both mile and half-mile in the interclass and also the Mechanic Arts Track Meet, is evidence of his ability, but to see him finish is a treat beyond expectation. If Carpenter goes further in school, he will surely be a winner. Lanigan, with more experience, ought to make a good runner. He has the build and the fight. That Hollo Fagin is a game one, but Jim’s hit was longer. Over the fence is out, Jim. Hirshson and St. Angelo are hitting the ball hard and Ford is in old-time form. We wish only success and lots of it to our new football coach. Dave Morey. Woodman, the man who scored the lone point for the Freshmen on the tract meet is at least, dis- tinctly individual. A delegation of lady teachers watched the last Medford game and thought our boys were just grand. Of course every little thing helps along the report card. JAMES E. JIM ROHERTSOX. The class of 11)14 prides itself on having one of the greatest, if not the greatest athlete who was ever graduated from this school. As a football plaver Jim was the peer of all schoolboys in the past few years, playing tackle for two seasons, and chosen all-interscholastic half-back and cap- tain last fall. As coverpoint on the hockey team, which he captained, lie played well and on the baseball nine, which he captained; he played for three years at first base as the heavy hitter and. individual star. He is one of the few who arc wearers of the triple S” of football, baseball, and hockey. Jim is a member of Omicron Delta, and anticipates entering Exeter. Alexander A. Alec Anderson, for three years, guard on the football eleven, also playing right end part of a season, and captain for the season of 1913. Alec was imbued with a love of the game he played so well, as many will testify, and has withstood many charges where others have failed. IJe is a member of Gamma Eta Kappa, and is pre- paring for Holy ( loss College. Sumner K. Wiley, playing guard for two years and tackle his senior year in football, has gained the favor of all bv his clean sportsmanship and abilitv as an athlete. • As a mainstay on the line for three years, he has played his game and played it well.

Harry was our goal tender for two years in hockey, guard in football, and the peer of all backstops in baseball. Harry could play any game, and as a favorite in sports, he is unequalled. His record will remain and his personality will be kept aiive for many years to come as a model for the Red and Line. He is a member of Omi- cron Delta and will enter Exeter. Warren (I. Hirshson made first string quarter- back in his Junior year and played regular on the baseball nine for three years. He is known in baseball for his hitting, and was a strong competi- tor for the batting trophy, being nosed out by a small margin in 1912. He is strong in the shot-put and considered an excellent all-around athlete. He is president of his fraternity. Kappa Alpha Pi. Earl “Cush Cushing for two years centre on the eleven and a strong candidate for captain. He will also play next season. He plays with the vigor that makes him an ideal pivot man. He is closely identified with school activities, being president of his class, a member of the student council, and of Gamma Eta Kappa. James R.. “Jimmy Hyde was catcher in base- ball in 1913 and fielder in 1914. Jimmy has an enviable reputation as a batsman, and is the senior member of the greatest outfield in Greater Pos- ton and -one the greatest in all the history of the Red and I Hue. As a fielder he was nothing short of sensational. He belongs to Kappa Alpha Pi. John J., “Hobe Hoban for two seasons catcher on the baseball squad. He was first-string catcher in his Sophomore year. He was a candidate for captain in 1913, when the vote was a tie. He is a member of Kappa Alpha Pi. He will enter Dartmouth. Harold J. Anderson for two seasons guard on the football squad.

The game was the greatest played by a Somerville team tor many years and ranks the nine as about the classiest aggregation of ball tossers in school baseball. It was a battle of ability from start to finish, and the pitchers who engaged in the struggle estab- lished a reputation. Jim Robertson played Hie game of his career, both in the field and at bat. It was his two-bagger which tied the score and his homer which won the game. Hilly Fitzgerald pitched fourteen innings of the steadiest kind of ball and merited his great vic- tory. He struck out four of the last seven men to face him which proves how strong he was pitching. Fagin was in excellent form and must be given credit for 1 is part in the contest, although it was clean hitting that scored Somerville’s runs. The trouble began in the third, when a pass, a hit. and three errors gave Waltham its three runs. .Alter this the team played together, although it was only a difficult catch bv Jim a short while later that prevented further scoring. [Continued on raB® 297.) 295 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR TRACK TEAM SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 297 Htblettcs (Continued from page 295) Somerville’s chance arrived in the seventh, when Harry binglcd, Hyde negotiated a two-bascr, and Jim followed suit, Harry and Hyde scoring. Hirshson sacrified and Jim scored as the fielder muffed Bianchi’s fly. The score was tied. Tlie fourteenth inning was progressing with Jim three and two. Fagin was willing to take a chance anti served him one across the middle. The ball soared and with its welcome splash proclaimed Somerville the victor and Jim the hero. Jim, Hushed but smiling, received a well-earned ride to the dresser on the shoulders of the crowd. — The League standing (at the lastest writing):— Somerville ................................900 Everett ..................................GOO Melrose ..................................500 Medford ..................................500 Malden ...................................333 ■---------- ----------------- Eleven UnninQs Go to Somerville Somerville won over Melrose May 15, in eleven innings, 4-3. Tibbetts was strong at all times, Melrose’s three runs being the result of errors. The game was interesting to watch. Ross displaying much “smoke’’ as usual but weakening towards the end. Melrose took the lead and Somerville began to worry, but Ross was unable to stem the base hits and Somerville evened matters. In the eleventh Frankie Downing binglcd one to right scoring Bianchi and winning the game. Harry Robertson expounded his usual line of philosophy on the third base coaching line, which had its usual winning effect. Bianchi's work on the field was excellent. ------------------------------------- Somerville Beteats Everett anO Cakes Stroiui XeaO Everett by protesting a decision in the ninth inning caused a delay which upset Billy Fitz- gerald and just nosed him out of a (sh) no hit, no run game. Fitzgerald pitched grand ball holding Everett’s batters blanked for eight sessions. It is several seasons since any pitcher has made such a record against an Everett team and it places Billv supreme in the league if not of all Greater Bos- ton. Several runs seemed inevitable for Somerville in the third, but only one tallied. Bianchi and Downing both hit safe in this inning but only Bianchi scored. In the seventh Jim was passed and went to second on llirshson’s neat bunt. Tony again produced a hit which scored Jim. In the eighth on hits by Hyde, Harry and Jim, two more runs were scored. In the ninth Fitzgerald was upset and Brickley and Bennett both hit safe. Pierrotti pitched well but loosened in the pinches. The score by innings:— Somerville ................... 00100012 x— 4 Everett.................. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2— 2 Sacrifice hits—Hirshson. Stolen bases—J. Robertson.

Track is fast becom- ing popular, and before those Sophs are graduated, Somerville should have a track team to be proud of. Aside from the enthusiasm shown, the meet had two excellent features. It showed clearly and decisively that the Red and Blue has some great track artists, and second it proved to the men themselves the benefit derived from organization and consistent plugging. The feature of the meet was the uncovering of a dark horse, with all the ear marks of a middle distance fiver, and with the punch that was the surprise of all. The individual referred to is Hall Carpenter. 1911. who captured both the mile and half-mile. Clinton Carvell. 19! 1. won the dash, and Harold I leak! the 220-yard dash. Dave Lanigan was the best performer for 1915, winning the 110-yards and coming second in the half-mile. The Sophomores had several good men, includ- ing John Murphy, Shepardson, and Pratt. V. Murphv cantured second place in both the 100- yard and the 220- ard. making six points for SUMMARY. 191G. Sr. Tr. Soph.

If we keep the erv for a gym- nasium in the city fathers’ ears, and let them know we are alive by showing more activity in athletics, in those sports which we already have, and those which have been mentioned to be adopted, we ought to get results sometime. In closing this article I wish to lay particular emphasis on inter-class sports. They will keep the school spirit invigorated. Show your interest and the Athletic Association will show theirs. Start the ball rolling for these other sports and they will do all they can. Right here let me apply Mr. Hall’s motto: ‘‘One for All and All for One.” Keep this in mind and Somerville High School will be an institution that will be foremost always, never suffering a fall. 3io SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR School Calendar 1913 1014 September 15—School opened; 1,866 pupils en- rolled.
