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. This is an entirely new idea and deserves the support of everyone who can play any musical instrument except the piano. More will he said of this later. ----------- ©ut Hlew tteacbers Miss Helen Lyons. S. E. II. S., 03, has joined the drawing department of this school.

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.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 1914 Uass Editor. Walter II. Wiley. Assistants, Bhilip 15. Lewis, Sidnev W hittaker. It takes a long while to get eighty-five cents from some j)eople for Radiator “subs. but we notice that they are ever present at the lunch counter at recess. Better think it over, every- body. We think there must be a spring in MacI—t—re's seat. He is like a jumping-jack in IV English A. A good fault, Mac. Brace up. friends, Somervillians, schoolmates, we arc on the home stretch and the tape is not far ahead. To—er is human, i. e.:— W'e-er are Seniors-er at-er last. Advice from a college freshman: “Get your constructions or there will be trouble.'’ That doesn’t mean bridge construction but a little more handling of the grammar. W e are well represented this year on the foot- ball team by Alex, and Harold Anderson, Wiley, J. and H. Robertson, Hall and Iloban. Others are on the waiting list. R—d, translating Virgil:— “Venus, her trembling eyes glistening—’’ Some eyes there. Rood! One of the seven wonders of the world!” H—n—w—11 has learned to conjugate “avoir in the present indicative! Heard in Trench:— Teacher: How do vou spell “or in French?” L—w—s: “O-u!” Teacher( staring at L—w—s and continuing): “ nd how do you spell the French 'where?' L—w—s (again): O-u! | Oh you grave ) W hat's the matter, L----s,—dying? You are not privileged to walk on the grass be- cause you’re a Senior. Scnors, how----- —many times have you been lost in the new corridors? —arc you beginning your Senior year—well? —many A’s will appear on your first term card? —much money will you. personally, spend for Radiator subscriptions this—vour last year? —much bigger do you feel now that you are a Senior? Teacher (to class): “What does ‘er gelit ab mean? Dearborn: (hastily): Exit!” Hodgdon in French: l)es applaudissements sonores—Some loud snores.” Our erstwhile schoolmate. Judson Manteli. is now attending Bowdoin College. We wish you luck. Jud.
