I When you think of having your eyes examined and of the possibility of wear- | ing glasses, the matter of cost naturally arises. As in everything else, good work, I 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 j and assist your eyesight. The reason that we have succeeded so well and thatour business has grown so satisfactorily is that the Best Work is given in every case ami a Reasonable Price is charged. THEODORE F.

If the City maintains a laboratory — some milk dealers do not think they need to. II. P. HOOD 6c SONS were the first milk dealers in the country to employ trained men to regularly examine Hood’s Milk. Many of these men are agricultural college graduates. A registered physician is in charge of the laboratory. Besides this, health authorities take some 18.000 samples of milk per year from Hood Milk wagons to be sure that the milk is pure. Naturally the maintenance of laboratories to protect the public, costs money. The taxpayers of a city pay for the safe- guards a city laboratory gives them. The progressive milk dealer believes that his customers are entitled to the added assurance that the milk he distributes is pure.

We had always gone up on Lake Winni- pesaukce. camping, but we were tired of going to the same place every summer, and thought that an island off the coast of Maine would suit us exactly. Accordingly, one bright day in the middle of July. Bill and I sailed out of Boston Harbor, in my uncle’s big sixty-foot cruiser, for our island. The name of the island was llarachan. 'Hie fishermen of the vicinity have always been afraid to go on it. because one of their number. Jeremiah Higgins, by name, was almost frightened to death by the skeletons and ghosts which he had seen on it. We were warned to take heed and keep out of danger, but Bill and I thought that there wasn’t a ghost in the country that could scare us. and speaking of skeletons, that made us laugh, be- cause we had handled one in school to such an extent that we had to settle with the principal, so ghosts and skeletons didn’t bother us. We had a tent big enough to keep both of 11s under cover, an abundance of supplies, an automatic Colt revolver apiece, and plenty of fishing tackle, so we had enough for excitement. Moreover Bar Harbor was not very far distant, and if we wanted a change, we could spend a few days in that resort. After we had been on llarachan Island for a week. Bill and I thought we would explore. We knew that the place was uninhabited except for the ghosts and skeletons, so we were safe from trespassing. There are three large hills on the island and we decided to climb the largest one first. We were half-way up the hill, when we sat down to rest at the edge of a clearing. While we were resting. Bill remarked that a certain stump in the open- ing didn't look quite natural and he hardly got the words out of his mouth when we saw the stump sink down into the ground. If we hadn’t had on our caps. I think our hair would have stood on end. Bill’s teeth were chattering and my knees were knocking. There was no doubt about it. Bill and T were scared blue, but we soon lay down on the ground and gazed at the end of the stump. Just then the stump disappeared and we saw a death’s head take its place. It glistened in the sunlight and grinned like an ape. Believe me! Bill and I thought that the fish- ermen were right, and I guess we had a good rea- son to think so. The head stayed there just a minute and went down into the hole again and the stump came back up. This seemed ages to us and it must have been five minutes before we dared to look around again, but it took us just about five min- utes more to reach camp. That night. Bill thought for our welfare that we should sleep in the snug little cabin of our cruiser, which was anchored in the cove, just a little off-shore. Bill and 1 couldn’t sleep that night. We could still see that glistening death’s- head as it grinned at us. In the morning Bill said to me. “Henry, you and I have just got to stop this. I've just been thinking this thing over and I’ve come to the con- clusion that we re big scared babies. Now I’m going to get at the bottom of this thing. What do you say?” I had said hardly a word since the night be- fore. but I agreed with Bill and asked him what was his plan. He said that we had better go back there in the morning and see if the same thing would hap- pen again. Therefore, in the morning we jogged up the hill, took oud old positions and. as before, saw exactly the same sights. Only this time Bill took out his Colt automatic and pumped three shots into the death’s head. It stayed there just a minute, then disappeared, but the stump didn't go back into place again. Bill knows a lot more than I do. and whatever he says goes, and now he suggested that we go back to camp and come back the next day to see if matters had changed any. Again we decided to sleep on board the cruiser, but as we were not very sleepy that night, we brought out some chairs on deck and talked. We could barely see the outline of the shore, it being a rather cloudy night. As I looked to- ward shore. I thought I saw some light near our camp, and I called Bill’s attention to it: he saw it too. Very soon the light came a little nearer and n a second or two, we saw the whole figure of a- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 skeleton walking along the shore among the rocks. There wasn't a bright light, but a kind of a lowing, dickering, bluish light, something sim- ilar to phosphorus. It gave me the creeps” and in almost no time my back was all gooseflesh and I guess Bill went through the same experience. But as 1 said be- fore Bill knows a lot more than I do and lie quickly shot twice at the thing, but with appar- ently no effects and Bill is a dead shot with a re- volver. The whole affair was getting uncanny, but my hair stood in bristles when the figure stopped and .gave the most weird shriek that I ever heard. Then it began to groan. Ugh, but it sounded .awful across the water. This was enough for Bill. He crawled to the anchor chain on his hands and knees, while I started the engine and we headed for the open sea. We cruised about until the sun rose the next morning, then we got courage enough to come back to the island. It bothered me so much that I could scarcely eat breakfast. Bill’s courage was rising again and he concluded that he would get to the bottom of the mystery or die looking for it. Accordingly, we went ashore, though rather unsteadily and proceeded up the liill. ‘ 'Hie stump was in place again and nobody would surmise that anything was amiss, but the stump went down as before and the death’s head came, but this didn’t bother us now, as we had got kind of used to it. But scarcely had the head appeared when Bill threw his hatchet and clove the skull, it disappearing immediately. We had brought a pick and shovel with us and we started to dig to the root of the mystery, but scarcely had we stood over the hole, when it caved in with us. as if there was a trap door under- neath the soil. Lucky for us we landed on our feet, and after juickly looking around found ourselves in a long, low cavern, but apparently empty as far as a skeleton was concerned. Bill drew his automatic, and we started to look through the cave of mystery. We went from the big cave toward a smaller one. where we saw a light, and as we approached it. we hear a low chuckle and again Bill and T shivered. We hesitated, but then the voice said in a high-pitched tone. ‘‘Ye needn't be afraid o’ me T wunt hurt ye. c’mon in. We hesitated again and then took a step for- ward and in the dim light, we could see the figure of an old man with white hair, flowing over his stooped shoulders. Bill and I both heaved sighs that would have knocked the old man down had he been directly in front of us, so relieved were we. We entered the cavern and found it full of all sorts of seaman’s things, while over in one cor- ner stood the inevitable skeleton with its grue- some death’s head grinning at us. As we entered, the old man piped out, Did 1 sceer ye eny byes? What d’ye think o’ my leetle skeleton? Giv’ ye a bit o' a sceer didn’t he?’’ Bill had pretty hard work to control himself, when he thought of how lie had been frightened blue by a harmless old man and a skeleton. But Bill wishing to appear as brave as possible an- swered calmly, Well, he did frighten us just a bit, but that was only for a minute. I asked the old man how lie managed the skel- eton that night down on the shore. He motioned for us to be seated, then he squeaked out, Wal, I jes' tuk a leetle sulphur an’ rubbed it over the bones. It’s jes like if ye take a match in a dark- place an' rub the sulphur on ycr hair an’ it makes it kind o’ glow. Then 1 held it out at arm’s length an’ walked along the shore. 11 ain't that an easy way to sceer fellers? Bill burst out laughing, when he thought of how he had crawled on his hands and knees to pull up the anchor, merely because an old man had such a skeleton on the shore. Then the old gentleman, at Bill's request, told us the story of his life, which was as follows: W hen 1 was a young lad. 1 allcrs wanted to go to sea. but my father wouldn't let me, but jes same. I went. I knocked about quite a bit on sailin' vess'ls. but I never went 'board one o’ them noo tangled steam-boats. Wal, arter a while I got command o’ a brig, which I arterward bought. ’Bout five year ago. I war sailin’ offen this here coast, in my brig, when (lurin’ a storm, my old boat war wrecked. Here lie paused and shook his head, heaving a sigh at the same time. Then he continued: It was right offen the here island an’ in the mornin’ arter the storm. I foun’ myself in a cave with some old wreckage near me. The ole tub itself war lyin’ on the rocks, off shore jes’ to the lee of where yer boat is now. I went out there an’ tuk some stuff � ff an’ brot it in here. Ye know there’s an openin’ from the bay in a big hole in the cliff down there, where ye kin git a boat in when the tide is up an’ ye kin walk out 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR v)ii the beach when the tide was out. There war only one boat lc’ from the wreck an’ I got that clown in the other cave. 1 got kind o' tired o’ pcple cnywav, so I thot Pd live here alone an if cm of them fisher-fellers come up here. I'd scecr 'em blue an’ I did.” Wal,” lie continued. “I’d lived down in the lower cave ’bout a week, then I foun' this place, which leads up from the lower one. 1 guess the place must 'a been a pirate’s headquarters, cuz the place here had been lived in by some ensses, who lef a lot of stuff, murdered a feller, then went off. Ye see that’s how I got the skeleton. The way I live here is easy, I slip out o’ the place in the boat some night an’ get up to Bar Harbor in the morning an’ git my supplies, then I comes back at night, so the lisher-fcllers wunt see me. W’al. that's how I live an’ it suits me jes' right, s’longs nobuddv bothers me. I didn’t mind you fellers cuz I liked yer looks a heap bet- ter than them fisher-fellers, but I kind o’ scccred ye, didn’t I?” Then the old fellow chuckled and rubbed his chin. Bill asked him if he was ever married. Xaw.” lie piped, I hain’t got no use fer the women, the only good one that I knowed war my mother. Say.” he asked. What you fellers' names an’ where d’ye live? We told him and he put them down on a pad that he had on a shelf. I looked at my watch and suggested to Bill that we go back to camp, so the old man led us back to where the stump had been, and we started to go up tbc ladder. By observation, we saw that the stump was operated by pulleys, and that the death’s head had been lifted up by a stick. We said good bye to him and went down the hill toward camp. That afternoon. Bill and 1 went to Bar Harbor after the mail. He received a letter from his father saying that his mother was very sick and that he had better come home. So the next morning we broke camp and went home—it taking us forty-eight hours to get back to Boston. Bill’s mother was very sick, but she recovered, and we decided to cruise around the Massachusetts coast, instead of going back to the island. We often recalled what the old sailor-hermit had told us about the pirates, and it occurred to us that there might be hidden treasure up there, but gradually we dismissed the thought from our minds with the arrival of school and the football season. s During the mid-winter vacation, when Bill and I were home from school, I received a letter from a lawyer in Bar Harbor. Bill happened to be over to my house at the time and we read the letter together. The lawyer said that an old sea captain, named William Frazer, had made his will in his office about a month before this and had left to William Bryce and Henry Lcverett (myself), the sum of $100,00(1 which was then deposited in the bank at Bar Harbor, and that he also left to us in the will, a letter, which the lawyer hadn’t opened. It seems that the body of Captain Frazer was found in his boat by some fishermen, just a little way out from the island of Harachan, he having died of heart failure. Bill and I were even more startled than when we had seen the sulphur skeleton on the island,, and it took us about five minutes to recollect who Captain Frazer was. But we remembered our old friend, the hermit of the island, who had given us some lively scares. The lawyer had enclosed the letter which the captain had left us and it read as follows: Deer boyes having’ no children an nobuddy to levc my muny to i decided thet i wod leve it al to yu, it is sum thet i dug up in the cave wen i ferst com here i haini got no uther frends excep yu an the loir wo wil giv yu this wen i go. vour frend (sined) ' W.M. FRAZER.” This was another surprise to Bill and myself and it almost took us off our feet. We were at loss to know what to do with our money, but as we had taken a liking to the island, we decided to buy it. Now. on either end of Harachan Island are the summer residences of Bill and myself, where we had enjoyed a few adventures with the old sailor- hermit of the island, and where with our friends we enjoy exploring the pirates’ caves from which we got our wealth in such a spookish manner. --------------------.. ---------------- Morton S.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 Jack JSurton, (Patrolman 36 ? Hrnold IB. ADurrag, 16 36 HE summer sun shone with fierce in- tensity upon the large number of hurrying people crossing Broadway amid the sluggish moving electrics. In the midst of the rush, Jack Bur- ton. traffic patrolman. No. 17C, motioned the drivers of the restless, panting auto- mobiles. and hopelessly snarled teams to wait. Jack commenced regulating the traffic while his good-natured face beamed with moisture from the sun’s rays. Jack had been a member of the force for seven months, and in that time had earned the name of being one of the most reliable men in the de- partment. He was a short, jolly patrolman, and a great favorite with the children of the East Side. His good-natured smile, and willingness to oblige, secured him popularity, and many were the friendly greetings extended to him by prosperous men on their way to business. This morning Jack was in unusually good spirits, for that night he had planned to visit his little nine-year-old crippled favorite. Jennie Long, a bright girl of the East Side, who lived an un- happy. cheerless life with a drunken father. Among the waiting automobiles, a large Bierce- Arrow touring car edged its way to the front, and the man in tlie rear seat beckoned to Jack, in a strained annoyed voice:— “Burton, there is an important political meet- ing this afternoon, and if I do not get to the City Hall inside of five minutes, I shall lose a very important office. Let me pass immediately, or you will regret it.” Can’t do it. sir.” returned Jack firmly. “I have to do my duty.” At last the people had all reached the other side, and as the long car shot bv Jack the man regarded him with an angry scowl. Jack realized fully what lie had done. The man in the car was none other than Ben Johnson, the most influential political boss in New York, lie had a large office in the Columbia Building on Jack's beat. Many a patrolman had mysteriously left the force through the efforts of this same man, but Jack was resolved to do his duty in all possi- ble cases, a fact that had not escaped the notice of the Chief. That evening Jack visited his little crippled friend, little realizing that close behind him was Ben Johnson, the political boss, who saw how much Jack cared for the little girl. The next afternoon just one hour before Jack's relief was due to arrive, a dirty little urchin rushed up to him, and handed him a note which read as follows:— If you want to sec your friend alive again, come at once. (Signed) Dr. Johnson. As Jack read the note a troubled frown ap- peared on his brow. It was four o'clock, and he did not leave his beat till five, lie must see his little friend once more. But what about his rec- ord? his reputation? He looked around for a brother otficer but no one was in sight. Finally, he decided to risk everything to see and help his little friend once again. So he hastily set out for the East Side, while a sinister, sneering face watched his departure. Hello!” Is that you chief? This is John- son. Mv office in the Columbia Building was broken into this afternoon while I was out of town. Must have happened around 4.30 o’clock, for my secretary left at 1. I tried to find Burton, who has this beat, but a small boy told me that he had gone to see a friend of his. Burton not on his beat? inquired the Chief in an amazed voice. He is one of the most re- liable men on the force. I shall send two men down immediately, and shall look after Burton to- morrow at roll call. Is that satisfactory?” “Entirely so,” retorted Johnson in a compla- cent tone. When Jack arrived at Jennie’s house he found his friend as well as ever. At once Jack scented that some plot had been formed to have him dis- charged from the force. $ Patrolman Burton.” The cold words and disdainful look of the Chief went through Jack like steel. “Before your brother patrolmen. I wish to ex- plain the breach of discipline you committed yes- terday. Did you leave your beat at four o'clock?’ “Yes sir.” sadly returned Jack. IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “While you were gone,” continued the Chief in the same cold tone, ‘‘.Mr. Johnson’s office on Broadway was broken into, and $5,000 were stolen. You were not on duty, and I ought to de- prive you of your badge and discharge you from the force in disgrace. However, on account of your former good conduct, I shall give you four days in which to make good for your act. Here is a notice that I want each man to consider care- fully. This is your chance, Burton.” The paper that was handed to Jack stated that a reward of $500.00 would be given to the man who could capture John Barrows, New York’s most famous counterfeiter, lie was five feet tall, brown eyes. 158 pounds in weight, and had a large peculiar birthmark on his right arm. lack started for Broadway, knowing that he had but a small chance of capturing one man in the large city of Xew York. However, lie determined to do his best to regain his lost reputation. During the four days Jack worked hard, but without avail. That night was the last chance he would have to succeed. He decided to go and sec his crippled friend, and to try and get her away from her cruel father. Slowly he turned his footsteps toward the East Side. As lie approached the house lie noticed Jennie with a large bag of gleaming silver dollars. “Where did you get those?” queried Jack in an astonished voice. “I found them in papa’s room,” the little girl answered in a laughing tone. I brought them out here to play with as I cannot play with the other boys and girls.” Jack took a handful of the shining coins, and at a glance knew they were counterfeits. “Show me to your father’s room.” demanded Jack in an excited manner. When Jack was alone in the room after having sent Jennie on an errand, he inspected the different kinds of apparatus. Just as he was about to test one. a harsh voice sounded behind him:— Up with your hands. Burton. So you thought you had me, did you? Turn around, quickly! Jack turned around he saw Jennie’s father holding a revolver pointing at his heart. He tallied perfectly with the Chief's description. The onlv proof that remained unsolved was the odd birthmark on his right arm. I know you have me.” returned Jack steadily, “but there is a squad of policemen who are wait- ing for a signal from me any minute not far from you.” Where? hoarsely demanded Long turning around. With a quick spring Jack was upon Long. In the struggle that followed the latter was over- powered. and Jack found the strange birthmark on his right arm. Long turned evidence for the State the next day, and admitted that he was not Jennie’s father, and that he was hired by Ben Johnson to rob his office to get Jack into trouble. «• In a quiet room away from Broadway’s clamor, little Jennie Long sits industriously polishing a new badge. Year the window Jack rests content- edly reading a report of the capture of Yew York’s most famous counterfeiter. Let us take a glance over Jennie’s shoulder. We sec that the badge bears the eight letters “SERGEANT.” —— Class Officers for 1914 1915 Class of 1915-A—President, Earl Cushing; Vice-President, Hazel Morrill; Secretary, Hall Carpenter; Treasurer, Walter Coleman; Class- Editor, Myrton Evans.

Lessons must be well learned, and well recited, and last but surely not least, friends must be wisely chosen. Let the best of friendship exist between you and your teachers so that they may be able to advise you on which route to follow through your course. � ► r ■Students : There are eight different organizations in this school from which you may obtain some profit if you will take the pains to join. Resides football, baseball, hockey, track and tennis, there are debat- ing and glee clubs for both boys and girls. The dramatic and outing clubs are open to all am- bitious girls. The gymnasium class is to be opened soon. Intellectual and physical training opens an opportunity to all. To Our Exchanges: In every respect did the Radiator appreciate your school papers. New ideas, of course, are cul- tivated in the High School literary world, so may we foster new ideas and help each other to im- prove each school paper. The Somerville High School Radiator extends to all most hearty wishes for a coming season, and may we hear from one and all. r r .1 c. Football Enthusiast: Unfortunately, Somerville lost her first game, but by no means has she lost her chance for the championship. c cheered on that summer day of our fir t game but now that weather is colder, we must cheer three times as loud. It helps win the game. We must win all the other games. So cheer, fellows:—and girls---? Well.—scream! tr THIS YEAR MAKE YOURSELF WORTH SOMETHING. , For those desiring some musical experience, the orchestra offers great opportunities to all fair players. Last year it was considered that Somer- ville had as good a High School orchestra as any in New England. Increased talent from the fresh- men added to that which already has had experi- ence from last year, should improve the orchestra 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR even greater than last season. The rehearsals are held every Wednesday and if you play any instru- ment whatsoever, please attend. r y The Curls' Glee Club has not assembled yet for reorganization, but a meeting will soon be called. A successful year is assured it the girls will co- operate with Miss Hoyle. The first step toward this end is to attend all rehearsals faithfully. The club looks forward to making its appearance at school entertainments. . r It was with mingled feelings of surprise and curiosity that the senior girls assembled in the Hall a few weeks ago. What plan was about to be laid before us, what secret about to be divulged? The suspense was soon relieved as the subject of graduation gowns was broached. Mr. Avery evidently intended to “take time by the forelock. ’ Miss llrown, head f the Domestic Science Department in this city, talked to the girls about the practical plan of making their own graduation dresses. By turning available study periods into dressmaking periods or spending one afternoon a week at school, this project could be carried out. Perhaps the strongest argument offered in favor of this innovation was Miss-Brown's candid state- ment : You are behind the times. Many schools have already adopted this new method. Arc we going to let other schools “crow over us because we are behind the times? No, senior girls, let us be progressive and enter with enthu- siasm into the new movement, thereby establish- ing a standard which succeeding classes will be glad to follow. K K K K The Girls’ Debating Society held its first meet- ing. September 28, and planned the work for the coming year. Besides the weekly debates at the club meetings, the members expect to debate with the Boys’ Debating Society of the school and the Curls’ Debating Society of Brookline. The offi- cers elected last June are:— Margaret Hanlon, president. Dorothy Bowers, vice-president. Irene Graves, secretary and treasurer. I he members of the Phi Alpha this year arc Martha Aldrich, president; Carol Whiting, treas- urer; Eleanor Jones, secretary; Irene Smith, Doris Underhill, and Barbara Sawyer. The first meeting of the year was held at the home of the president. Monday, October 5. It is hoped that the sorority will have a pleasant and prosperous year. r. r flu IDcmoriam In memory of our brother FRANK DINSMORE Late member of the Theta Sigma Delta Fraternity •� � ► Suggestions to Contributors Manuscripts must be:— L Written on one side only of large theme paper. 2.

Wrapped in a heavy coat, and with a warm cap pulled down over my ears, I set out early, resolved to tramp all day. The bracing fall air was so invigorating that I simply “tore down the street and spun around the corner so hastily that I just avoided colliding “head on with my old friend, “Som Radiator. “You seem to be in a hurry! Where are you going? he inquired cheerily. “Don’t know. I replied. I just want to walk —to take a nice long walk. You ought to know— Tell me. where’s a good place to go? Well now, let me see------- said my friend— “ever been down Exchange Avenue? That's an ideal route f r a walk if it isn't too far for you. Nothing was too far for me that day. s. I set out. I walked a couple of blocks without seeing a soul who interested me particularly, but at the corner of Exchange and Alumni Avenues. I met a dwarf who danced up to me. and. thrusting a copy of The Punchard Ensign into my hand, an- nounced. I am the Punchard School, from An- dover. Mass. Take this. Immediately the crea- ture vanished, as if into the air. Passing on. 1 walked more slowly, carelessly glancing over the pages of the book before me. I had gone but a short distance when a miniature bicycle stopped by the curbing at my side, and a strange little sprite, resembling Punchard School, hopped off to address me. I am the Troy High Scho 1. I came all the wav from New York to bring you this June copy of The I Iliad. Before I could thank him he was gone. On the next corner “Boston College intro- ductcd himself, and offered me a copy of Bos- tonia. Amazed. I continued on my way. Further down tlie street I met another similarly weird little crea- ture. who offered me a copy of The Magnet, saying. “I am the Leominster High School. Read this. Next appeared the “Meridian High School who presented me with The Pennant, and so, all along my walk. I was met by these in- teresting little folk, personifying the different schools, who offered me in turn their school pa- pers. When I reached the end of Exchange Avenue, the pile of books under my arm had increased greatly and cold, tired, and with my arms full of school papers, I took to my heels and ran, never stopping until 1 was safe inside the house. There, curled up before the open fire, my books at my side, I read each one from cover to cover. When 1 had finished, it was late, and I was sleepy. A little fairy danced out of the red coals before me. and said. 1 am Mr. Critic. Here is a list of criticisms of the different school papers. It seemed only a whisper, but I remembered it. and when I awoke the fire was low. and oii my lap lay the fairy's paper, containing these following re- marks:— Lascll Leaves is just brimming full of well- written articles about the work accomplished, and the good times enj ved In the girls of Lasell Sem- inary. I11 its Advertisers' Directory it offers an arrangement not common among school publica- tions. The Punchard Ensign is ? neat little paper which contains articles which in quality surpass those of many of the larger and more imposing papers. The I Iliad (Troy. X. Y.) is a real live paper, which shows on every page that it is published bv real live boys and girls. It does seem a pity, though, that it should lack an Exchange Column. The Grotonian is a splendid Weekly which we learn is to be next week improved by pictures taken, developed, and engraved bv the students of Groton School at their own plant.

Brooke McKinnon, Latin, 11)10, graduated from Harvard in June, 1014. Just before the close of school lie visited some of his former teachers and bade them good-bye before leaving for the Ear-East. Two weeks ago Mr. Hosmcr received the following letter, telling of his new life in Japan :— Kanaya-machi, Chofu, Yamaguchi Ken, Japan. September 13, 1011. Dear Teachers and Students:— There is at least one place where European customs are not being rapidly adopted, where factories, industrial wear and tear, and modern cities are not pleasing and that's Yamaguchi Ken. the most westerly province of Japan, a quaint, beautiful place with waterfalls, hills, valleys, mountains, peaks, and caves. Chofu is the Gib- raltar of the East; from my Japanese house I sec hundreds of Japanese fishing boats, many brown-skin bathers, many big trans-Pacific steam- ers cn route, many thatched roofs, and I need not look over my fence for pines, orange trees, flowers, and a Japanese dog. l� ut the malady which is especially mine now is the Chu Gakko, or Middle School. My life is as busy as novel. Out of bed early. I visit the Chofu Bay which comes to my garden wall, think- ing what new words and phrases to give the eager boys. Breakfast is brought by a very will- ing. intelligent native cook, then I go to meet the students. There are five grades of two or three classes each. I meet each class once or twice a week; each period is fifty minutes. The brown walls on each side of the road may be five hundred years old, and all along the way every man stands at attention, removes cap. and bows as a teacher passes him. l he boys dress in uniform and have daily drill in army tactics. The school is for most part one storied, so covers much ground. In the central building arc offices and library, also teachers' room where the foreign teacher has his desk. Scattered around are the assembly room, the dormitories, the different classrooms, the soft-matted jiujitsu room where wrestling and fencing is taught. On entering the teachers’ room you bow very low: at a bugle call the students assemble in a double line in front of respective rooms; the teacher takes his books, the attendance record, and key and goes to class. As soon as the head boy sees you approach he shouts, Ki wo tsuke!'r And every man is as still and straight as a statue. As you pass to open the door they bow very low. After assembling in room there is another Ki wo tsuke, then ” Kei !’ at which the men form a level at waist line: you return the bow and pro- ceed. At close of lesson another Ki wo tsuke’' and Rci and they quietly file out. Each boy has a desk: on the side is a hook and a bottle of ink cn a string. He takes off ink and puts cap there. hen meeting on street, boys come to atten- tion. remove cap and bow before they are within six feet of you. An American boy doesn’t often know what study is. Here a bov studies and grows all the time: lie develops his mind and body. 1 do not think a Japanese boy is as happy as an American; if he can develop his spirit, a thing which Christianity may do. and it is the right kind f spirit, he will be a better rounded boy than the average American-boy. Here the men study to serve, and let me say that I don't care what vice you may ever have heard of Japan,, there arc two things missing in their tongue: there is absolutely no profanity and no terms of endearment. A Japanese rarely gets mad, but the madder he may get. the tighter lie shuts his teeth. A Japanese student never smokes. Out- side of school hours on the street he must wear over his kimono, a pantaloon effect called haku- ma. so he is always designated, dignified, and alert. In closing I wish to express my best wishes for the Somerville Football Team. Don't be satisfied with winning, but only with highest scores. Foot- ball is just coining into Japan, and by the way. Japan is a wonderful field for an American boy to look forward to. Then. I will be glad to hear from anyone at school. There are some very enthusiastic English scholars here who would enjoy exchanging letters with an American. It takes a letter about two months to go and come, but if you write every week, soon you'll be receiv- ing every week, and many a helpful word might lead many a Japanese into the brighter, more happy ways of Clirist-followers. Lastly, always think with profound respect of Japan, for it is a wonderful country, where people are not existing, but living, having little, and needing little else than Christ. Sincerely. D. BROOKE McKIXXON. 16 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Gbe football ttcam l 'or the last month. Coach Morey, a Malden High. Dartmouth College, and All-American star on the field, has had the candidates hard at work every week-day .afternoon. The number of men out for the team was in the vicinity of fifty, about thirty of whom arc still at it. A number of last year's men arc back including Captain Ellis, Bianchi. John and Joe Murphy. Doughty. Hayden, Baxter. Pratt. Elliott and Magno. 'Phc first real taste of football was on Tuesday, October .“ . when the picked eleven, lined up against Arlington. Somerville gained several touchdowns on their neighbors across the brook, but since it was not a scheduled game, there was no audience or referee. The Somerville line-up was as follows: Joe Murphy, r.e.: Flynn, r.t.; Bax- ter. r.g.: Cushing, c.: John Murphy, l.g.: Shepard- son. l.t.; Doughty, l.e.; Bianchi. q.b.: Pratt and Giroux, r.h.b.; Ellis and Johansen, l.h.b.; Hay- den and Thornton, f.b. 'Phe schedule of nine games, arranged by the management, is as follows:— ♦October : —Melrose at Somerville. October 1 2—Cambridge Latin at Somerville. October IT—M. I. T.. IT. at Somerville. October ‘M—Waltham at Waltham. October 1 Xewton at Somerville. ♦November T—Medford at Medford. ♦November M—Malden at Somerville. ♦November 21—Everett at Everett. November 2(5—Rindgc at Somerville. ♦Suburban League games. With the support of the whole school, who we hope have got season tickets, also the cheering, led by Pillsbury and Scanlan. we hope to get not only the football championship, but hockey and another baseball. «umes Somerville Xoscs ©peiUno Game to iDcU rose On Saturday, October :i. owing to a little hard luck in the arrangement of the schedule. Somer- ville dropped her opening game to Melrose with a score of ?- . 'Phe game was won, when Little, picking the ball from Bianchi. on a forward pass, carried it seventy-five yards for a touchdown, the only one in the game. It was a very poor day for football, and there were very few exciting minutes when the school could give their new ho! ho! ho! ho! ho! cheer. Bianchi s last year’s hard luck returned, when he tore the ligaments in his right leg by the blocking of a punt. Elliott and Fitz who replaced him. in turn, made very good showings for their first game. Phe lineup was:— S )M ERVII .LIC. M ELR( )SE. Joe Murphy, r.e l.e..

Elliott and Bianchi will soon be back on the field rather than limping around on one foot. £bc Srach £cam Captain Carpenter’s cross-country team made a good showing during the halves of the Melrose game. A squad of about ten men circled the field twice, then a trip around the Reservoir at Tufts College, resulted in a win for Lannigan, and a second for French.

McKay: Can’t I stay after school for three hours and do a few lessons in advance? The Class: Here are ten pages of notes for the Radiator. Fletcher: I have too many study periods. May I take up Latin and German?” It has been noticed by many that Eaton is now a member of the firm of Boyle Brothers. Many divisions have adopted the motto D. T. D.” (Don’t talk. Do!) This motto might easily refer to those who are continually talking about handing in notes, but never do! Not only notes are desired this year, but also stories. If von have a good one hand it in to the editor. We want this year to be the best in the annuals of the Radiator. Give us your support! How many editions of college French have you issued, Chipman?

Once a year there is held in Chicago, a National Dairy Show where all interested in the dairy industry meet and in conventions and discussions talk over the improvement of public milk supplies. The United States Government, through its dairy division, holds a milk contest that is open to every milk producer and dealer in this country and Canada. The National Dairy Show offers medals and banners to those who produce the best milk. The United States Government does all the judging. According to their usual custom, II. P.

JBroobe flbclfcumon Somerville Xatlu Ibiiib School, ’l0; fmrvarb, '14 f3 S35 fel A YAMA, 8,270 feet above the sea level, is the ideal active volcano of Japan. My desire to look into the mouth of the crater was so great, I decided to cast my lot with three others, and make the trip. We secured horses, strapped heavy blankets and food supplies upon their backs, leaving room for our- selves. We enlisted two mountain coolies to carry lanterns, and left Karuizana at 7.30 in the evening. August 10. The seriousness of our undertaking was most appreciated by the natives, who cautiously whispered the dreaded name ■ ama? we answered mm (yes). Away from the town, not a light was seen, save ours, and tlie awful play of lightning, revealing the road- way. trees, and the outlines of mountains: parts of the trail were so perilous a false step meant death. In single file we toiled up ledges, and met the moon: gloriously it shown, and eleven o’clock showed us a great open space and a house. We roused the man within: he opened the door be- fore he did his eyes, struck a light, splashed water over his head, and started a fire under a black-hanging kettle. W hen our carrier came— swinging his lantern like Diogenes looking for an honest man.” we washed down a lunch with hot Japanese tea. Suddenly we heard a shout, a loud whinny, and up to the door dashed a rider and two bettos. Salutations were exchanged, the rider invited within, and to oyr astonishment we rec- ognized the female guide whose advertisement ou the bulletin board in Karuizana. i� an thus: “Woman strong in limb and wind would like t conduct trip to sama. We had intended to look her up. when Mr. Scott, Sr., joined us and provided wisely for all requirements. At the start. Rev. E. S. Booth, principal of Ferris Seminary, said: “Boys. I had rather see you shoulder guns- and light the Germans, than to take this trip. At Mine-no-Chaya. we left our horses, adjusted straw shoes, and continued to climb the steej bluff similar to that directly back of Winter Hill station, our alpine sticks sinking two feet in ashes, and every few minutes we threw ourselves- to rest. About half-past two. severe roaring be- gan, it increased and the sky lit up as it does- artificially at Revere Beach, when it can be seen a great way off. The guide became scared, and re- turning said. If you wish take a peep, but come right away. Ihe air was charged with sulphur fumes: clouds of smoke and steam was suffoca- ting: masses of lava under our feet shook, while we gazed into the red hot bottom. The depth is uncertain, as it is always changing because of eruptions. Only a few yards away, in shelter of a huge boulder, wrapper in rugs, we refreshed our inter- nal economy, and watched the sunrise, though 1 cannot express its grandeur. We then returned to kodak the crater: steam was issuing from the mountain sides, and yellow smoke pouring forth. The further side caved in : that near us took a slide., and we hastened from the spectacle. The descent was terrible: scoria filling our shoes was torture,, and it was gladsome to mount our waiting horses. We galloped back to Karuizana. nodding to the curious Japs, who doubted our return, and found warm welcome awaiting us in the home of Rev. and Mrs. Booth, 'flic flower-covered moors are picturesque. Asama Yama is sublime. D. Brooke McKinnon. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3« rile Radiator Staff lias now issued the second number oi Volume XXIX’ and instead of twenty- four pages, twenty-eight arc offered to the school. Each column has not only been enlarged but the ■quality of each department will be found to be much superior to the respective department of last issue. As all the officers are now in line with their duties, the paper is bound to improve. Quality first then quantity. r r r Congratulations to the Cross Country Team. Can you imagine anything more remarkable than our S. H. S. Cross County Team? Formed not three months ago, its members are already win- ners among vast numbers of High Schools in New England. Classmates,—perhaps football isn’t reaping us another championship. “Cross Country deserves a tight hand shake. r � r The orchestra is working faithfully each Wednesday and is growing in numbers; the re- sults are extremely encouraging. More candi- dates will be heartily welcomed and suggestions for the orchestra’s improvement will be appreci- atively received by all its members. Remember last year. Somerville had the best High School orchestra in New England. We must have the same this year. r «?. Hockey season approaches. To some this state- ment sounds very interesting but stop a minute. Let us substitute Somerville High School for the word “sonic.” We must support a good hockey team. We must now promise to support one. Somerville should support her hockey team with as much spirit as the football, baseball, and track teams have been supported. Girls, do you attend the debates carried on by the Girls’ Debating Club every Monday after school? Those who are interested enough to be present realize the profitable work which this club is doing and also the benefit of such a train- ing derived from participating in the weekly de- bates. Come to the debates and take part in the gen- eral discussion to which the meeting is open while the debaters are preparing the rebuttal. FRESHMEN' AND SOPHOMORES!! Join the club even though you do not join in the debate, that there may be a large member- ship when the club resumes its activities next September. An enthusiastic Mass meeting was held in the Hall. October i( , to which girls only were ad- mitted. Miss Curtis who presided at the meet- ing introduced Miss Hunt and Miss Merrill as the speakers of the afternoon. Miss Hunt touched all hearts by relating a simple incident which illus- trated mother love. Miss Merrill spoke at some length upon What Constitutes a Lady. empha- sizing orderliness and cleanliness as the essential characteristics of a true lady. After these wholesome talks. Miss Curtis issued the delightful announcement that the Somerville V. M. C. A. gymnasium had been procured for the girls’ classes. Further particulars as to classes, gymnasium outfit, and examination certificates were stated by Miss McMillan, a graduate of S. H. S.. and of Dr. Sargent’s School of Physical Culture.

Somerville kicked oflf and Cambridge returned a punt which Somerville? fumbled and Dec fell on it. Kimber ran forty yards and but for hit ., would have made a touch- down. Hayden and Giroux then rushed the ball up the field and Keating went through tackle for a touchdown. Doughty again failed on a goal. In the fourth period, I'itz tried a goal from the thirty-five-yard line, but missed according to the Cambridge team.

Until the last minute it looked as though the score would be 3-0. but Richardson got the ball and scored a touchdown for Waltham. Somerville kicked off. and Waltham at once made two gains on penalties. Hayden held the line, and Waltham had to punt. Then Keating got off one of those long ones, and play started on the twenty-yard line. Another penalty ad- vanced Waltham, and they got near enough for Richardson to kick a drop. In the second period he tried another, but Cushing blocked it and Richardson recovered it on the thirty-yard line. A forward pass from Richardson to Hoclscher advanced Waltham to- the eight-yard line. Somerville s line showed up strong, and they received the ball a foot from the goal. Another punt by Keating went about fifty yards, rolled twenty more, and put Waltham in the rear. The period closed with Somerville near her goal. There was no scoring in the third period, al- though Somerville showed better work than Waltham. In the fourth period, the play was all in Som- erville’s territory. Her best chance was when Keating punted and Magno caught the runner on the thirty-three-yard line. Here Waltham punted off side and Somerville received the ball. Tony threw a forward right in Richardson's hands, who ran fifty yards with it. Then Wal- tham punted and Bianchi fumbled the ball, Giroux recovering it. But according to the offi- cials Waltham got it. and one drive put them over for a touchdown. The score:— SOM ERVI LLE. WALTHAM. Doughty’. Magno, l.e.....................r.e..

Satur- day, October 31. Newton certainly knew how to throw the forwards, but they didn't have any men like Keating, Travers, or Cushing. Newton kicked off and a punting duel followed. Newton finally got the ball and gained ten yards on two downs; fifteen on a forward, and then fumbled. Somerville being near the goal line punted. Newton worked two forwards and was almost over at the close of the period. In the next period. Newton fumbled and Bax- ter fell on the ball: Somerville punted to safety. Newton then worked three more forwards, the third being good enough to bring them on the five-yard line. Bryson went over for a touch- clown. In the third period Newton got the ball on the fifteen-yard line on a fumble, and sent Mellor through for a touchdown. Somerville did great defensive work. In the last play. Keating got a forward and ran fifty yards with it. but three for- wards failed and Newton got the ball. The fourth period commenced by Somerville kicking to Newton. Newton tried and missed two forwards, then punted to Keating. Somer- ville got twenty yards on a forward to Magno, but could not rush the ball. Newton receiving it on a forward. • Somerville blocked a punt and ‘‘Shep” fell on the ball. Fitz tried a field goal which looked pretty good. Newton then punted and after receiving the ball. Somerville made a touchdown on a forward from Fitz to Kllis. The game closed with Somerville making desperate efforts to score again on a forward. Thornton certainly filled the fullback's position but Hay- den's work was missed. Everyone was glad to see Bianchi back at quarterback again, although he was not in the best of form.

'This was the second Suburban League defeat this season. Captain Donnellan (acting), was the whole team as he kicked a field goal, made a touchdown, and kicked the goal for Medford. If Somerville had had five minutes more to play, they could have easily taken the game, as they certainly were doing some fine work at the close. This was also the case in the Newton game. Start in to do vour best a little sooner fellows. In the first period. Medford kicked off and Somerville fumbled on second down. Three short rushes by Donnellan and Lindell gave Donnellan a good chance for a goal from placement, and he certainly did it. Forced bv penalties for off-side playing, and a few good plays, Donnellan tried another goal from placement but 'Travers blocked it. and Sul- livan. of Medford, recovered it. On top of an- other penalty came a forward from Sullivan to Donnellan. who ran from thirty-yard line for a touchdown, and then kicked the goal. 'The per- iod ended with the ball in Somerville's possession on the thirty-seven-yard line. There was scoring in the third period, but Som- erville showed much better playing than in the first half. Bianchi who was replaced by Fitz in the second period was back in the quarterback's position. Shepardson was also replaced by Flynn. Somerville tightened up in the last period and showed some good playing. The forward pass worked four times out of six. bringing Somer- ville near enough to send Thornton over for a touchdown. Medford was penalized, and Som- erville working a forward from Bianchi to Ellis, started a rallv. The score:— SOMERVILLE. MEDFORD. Ellis, r.e...........l.e., Chadbournc.

Somerville - iDalben Somerville defeated Malden High in a league game. Saturday. November 14, by a score of 21- 20. Somerville played the best game of this year, the work of Ellis and Bianchi being espec- ially good. Bianchi’s punts and forwards had a great effect on the score. Cushing. Keating, Thornton and Scanlon, all showed good work. Malden kicked off and Bianchi ran the ball back thirty yards. A forward gave Malden the ball, who were unable to rush it so punted, Bianchi getting the ball. Somerville worked some good forwards and made some fine rushes. Giroux and Thornton went through the Malden line for about ten yards each time. Then a fumble was re- covered by Wheeler who ran forty yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter. Malden got within three yards of their goal but were unable to put the ball over. Somerville line held like a stone wall. Bianchi then got off one of the prettiest punts ever kicked on the field, which went far beyond Hurley and the minute lie got the ball, Magno had him tackled. This brought the ball near the Somerville goal. Malden punted and Somerville fushed the ball back for a touchdown. Bianchi kicked the goal. Somerville and Malden both scored in the third period, but as Malden missed the goal, Somerville gained. Sliney who went in for liroux showed up good, and Cushing who was knocked out in the second half, returned in center. Somerville scored again in the last period and it looked as though the score would be 21 to 13, but Malden got a forward in the dark and made the score 21-20. Ellis and Bianchi both handled the forwards in great shape, while Travers. Shepard- son and Cushing did great defensive work. Bax- ter and MacClellan were also good in the line, 'flic score:— SOMERVILLE. MALDEN. Magno. I.e..........................r.e.. Doyle Shcpardson. l.t.................r.t..

This work has been hindered and the benefits to the school lessened, by the action of a few who have issued schedules of athletic contests, and this for personal gain. W'c hope the school spirit will be upheld and this practice discontinued in the future. Cross Country For the first time, Cross Country has invaded the athletics of the High School. Over twenty men went out for the team, which shows the sport is here for good. Although Captain Carpenter and Lannigan will be lost by graduation, still l-rench, Deacon, and Douglass will remain, and next year's prospects look very good. 'Phis sea- son has been a most successful one. The Inter-Class meet opened the season, which was held between the halves of the Somervillc- Mclrose game, with the result that the Juniors won with live points; Seniors, second with eight points, and the Sophomores, third with nine points.

Somerville attempted her first duel meet against Arlington, who are at present national champions. ()wing to lack of team work. Somerville lost by the close score of 27-20, al- though Carpenter and French finished a quarter of a mile ahead of the first Arlington runners. Just a week later. Somerville journeyed out to Stoncham. defeating her opponents by a score of 12-32. Carpenter. French and Lannigan finishing long before any opponent. At the next meet, which was held between the halves - f the Somervillc-Xcwton game. Somerville again came through with an easy win by defeating W ellesley and Malden. The score was Somer- ville II. W ellesley 32. and Malden 18. 'I he last and most important run was held at Worcester where many High Schools and Pre- paratory Schools competed for the Xew England Interscholastic Championship.

We were to see many interesting sights and perform many exciting deeds before we should see those same friends who waved us out of Boston Harbor. W’c were distinguished in having with us fifteen young men enlisted for Mexico; all happy, con- tented men. who were willing and eager to fight for their country The water was very calm and the sky unusually clear that evening, and the cool, exhilarating air filled us with a keen sense of pleasure. At last we retired only to be kept awake a little on ac- count of the pounding of the engines in the boat. Early in the morning we arose and walked two mies around the boat, a feat which was continually being accomplished. In the course of the morning we were shown over the pilot house, where we spent a good part of the time. Another place of amusement was Social Hall, a room where most people assembled, when rain appeared, and the water grew rough. 'Hie first evening was uneventful but on the second evening so many sentiments were ex- pressed as to whether they were going to feel the bad effects of rough weather or not. that by sup- per time, quite a number retired. Previous to this time. I had had no regular chair in the dining hall, so crowded was it. but there seemed to be a noted vacancy of chairs. Frequent groans were heard as the good old Juniata pounded over the waves, and the occupants of the dining hall became si ill less numerous. However, everybody seemed to live through the exasperating ordeal despite the frequent utterances of I wish the boat would sink. After supper a few of us went up in the extreme bow of the boat and rode over the waves in grand style. However, a wave finally struck the side of the ship and went completely over us. So cowed were we that we went directly to bed. Hollow eyes and woe-begone faces greeted us next morning, but the waiters more than made up tor the absence of the guests the previous evening. As we docked at Norfolk, Ya.. colored people were much in evidence, especially the young ladies, who were all very stylishly dressed up in their gaudy Sunday finery. A thing which impressed us much was the beautiful foliage. Strawberry plantations, where negroes were picking the ber- ries were passed: orchards with everything in blossom were seen, and everything had a green, fragrant appearance. Our destination. Old Point Comfort, was readied after a short ride in an electric car. and a short trip over the water. We inspected Fortress Munroe. bv circling the top of the old fortress. We also viewed the officers houses and cadet quarters, and formed a good opinion of the wire- less station, and viewed Hampton Roads, memor- able as the scene of the historic fight between the “Monitor and the Mcrrimac. From here we went to Hotel Chamberlain, the finest and best equipped hotel on the eastern coast. Several features in the hotel interested 11s. among which was the elegant swimming pool. We spent an enjoyable hour in this pool, and pronounced it one of the best we had ever been in. After having a very delicious dinner at Hotel Chamberlain, we boarded an electric car for New- port News. e made several stops on the way. One stop was made at Hampton Institute, a train- ing school for colored people, from which many eminent negroes, such as Booker T. Washington, and others, have come. An astounding fact might be noted here, that of their 130 buildings, seventy- six have been planned and built by students. We heard an address given by the chaplain in the chapel. We also heard a quartet picked from their chorus of 1.300, sing old plantation songs. Another stop was made at St. John’s Church, which contains a silver service 300 years old. At Newport News we boarded the steamer and took an all-night sail up the much-hcard-of Ches- apeake Bay. Part of the night we were enveloped in fog. but came through safely. The next morn- ing we took the car at Baltimore and proceeded to Annapolis, on cars weighing forty tons and costing .$S.000 a piece. This is the fastest and finest contructed electric railway in the world. It was one of the greatest privileges f the lour to be able to sec the Naval Academy at Annapolis. 'I lie first thing which caught our attention as we entered the gates was Bancroft Hall, the longest building in the world. A great question was raised as to what beautiful building that was. but to our great surprise, we were only looking at the back of it. When I gazed at the front of it. wondered that any building could be so magnifi- cently constructed. We saw their wonderful chapel where John Paul Jone’s body is intombed; and also the fine academic buildings. Seeing the cadets assemble for dinner and march so com- pactly to the dining hall impressed 11s very heartily. SOMERVILLE HIGH After having a dinner at Carvel Hall, we again boarded the car and started for W ashington. In some places we went seventy miles an hour, so the thirty miles was covered in little more than half an hour. As we neared our national capital, our hearts beat fast, so eager were we to see what we had long hence looked forward to. Our curi- osities were satisfied, however, before we left the grand old city, for we visited all the interesting scenery and places of interest. An automobile was immediately hired, which gave us an outline or introduction to what we should later cover by foot. We viewed the Treas- ury. where Uncle Sam's money is kept; 1’ost Office Building, which has one of the largest dis- tributions in the world; Chinatown. Census House City Hall. Inaguration Hall. Patent Building. Old Vanderbilt house, senators’ houses, and innumer- able other interesting objects. We were quite satisfied, however, to be taken to our hotel, Congress Hall, located in a cluster of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Our first trip took us to the Congressional Library, the largest and most beautiful library in the world, costing over $6,000,000. As we entered the build- ing we were impressed by the beautiful white marble and the exquisite carvings. We also climbed the noted Central staircase, unsurpassed by any entrance hall in the world. As we entered the gallery and looked down upon the spacious reading room, we wondered at the prevailing silence. We obtained an idea of its vast propor- tions because we walked continually for two hours and never saw the same thing twice. The next day we took a walk to the Aquarium, which by no means equalled our own Boston Aquarium, although we saw many interesting sights. At the Smithsonian Institute, nearby, we saw various odd collections from all parts of the globe. In the National Museum, we viewed ob- jects of scientific interests. In this building arc kept the collections and treasures of the govern- ment. We saw a miniature coal mine operated, and it showed clearly the ordeal which the men have to go through in order to bring coal into general use. The next pleasure in store for us was the beauti- ful thirty-two-milc sail down the historic Potomac to Mt. Vernon. We admired the wonderful house and grounds, and the exquisite view which is afforded of the river. e went all through the rooms in the house and took a thorough look at Washington's tomb, and pronounced it a fine place. Of course, the tour of the National Capital was the most instructive treat of the whole trip. Here we spent our leisure time, cither in the Senate, House of Representatives, or Supreme Court. Words cannot express the elegance and magnifi- SCIIOOL RADIATOR 37 cencc of the Capitol, for if I were to relate all the interesting things we viewed here. 1 would have to issue a special volume devoted to it. The in- numerable paintings, sculptures, and statuary here, surpasses that of any building in the world. The whispering gallery, wherein two persons standing on opposite sides, seventy-five feet apart, may dis- tinctly hear one another speaking in whispers, is amusing. An old relic we saw was an ancient clock—which, as our guide expressed it. has been running as long as Bryan. Phis Capitol is tbe largest and contains the most expensive paintings in the world: so as we marched down the massive steps and looked back upon its large columns, we were proud that it was our Capitol. I he White House next attracted our attention. I lie East room. Green room. Dining room, and other famous rooms we inspected. People were continually going through the house, and we won- dered if we should like to call this our home under such circumstances. Prom here we walked to the Washington Monu- ment. Two of us walked up its 950 stairs, and were very glad to reach the top. 550 feet in the air. We obtained a wonderful view of the City of ashington, and the country beyond, and were quite proud to say that we had ascended tiie Washington Monument by foot. In the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where the bills and postage stamps arc made, arc em- ployed some trusted experts, who superintend the work of making money. We saw many beautiful paintings and works of art in the Corcoran Art Gallery, but were glad to claim proudly that it did not excel our own Bos- ton Art Gallery. We were to take our departure next day. so we visited one of their best theatres, which was not any better than our own. So as not to make a wrong impression of Wash- ington and its buildings we might say a few words about Washington. This city impressed us all as being the most beautiful, cleanest, healthiest city we ever saw. while its buildings are the grand- est in the world. The number of collections of paintings, sculpture, statuary, and curiosities are unexcelled. We all felt that this had been a week of education and learning for us. The next morning we left the hotel for the un- rivaled I nion Station. It is of magnificent pro- portions. with a length of 760 feet, and a width of ; l.‘ feet. It is so large, in fact, that the passen- ger concourse may accommodate quite comfor- tably 50,000 people. The trains are electric until they arc quite far from the city, because no smoke is allowed in the city. In Philadelphia, a sight-seeing auto showed us the special interest of the city. We stopped at (Continued on Page 47] 38 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Bn Bbventure in jfau'v %ant J6v 1nc3 ID. Htwater, '18 21 IETY weeks of the year, six days a week, I pound on a typewriter, ad- dressing envelopes, writing formal notes, answering business letters and ever listening to the “click” “click” click,” of typewriting and adding machines. 'I he other two weeks I tlec from this monotonous, steady grind to a sleepy old town set among the hills. 'I he little white painted house where I stay, nestled in a secluded corner of this quaint town, quite remote even from the slight activity which it occasionally boasts. Rebind the house is rather a small pine grove, through which runs a narrow straight path, and on either side, tall, stately pines rise high into the clouds. One could see far into the depth of this grove, as the trees arc set in long lines form- ing ever changing vistas; beneath is a soft brown carpet of pine needles and scattered here and there are little piles of pine cones. My chief delight is to walk and linger here, where I may watch every movement of the birds, hear every wind that goes sighing through the tree-tops. But sometimes as I listen I hear music sweeter, clearer than that of the birds, and hear tiny voices in the murmur of the wind. I feel the presence of unseen forms, and often watch for the forest-folk, especially at night-fall. One afternoon I had wandered far from home, and as evening fell, the sky darkened rapidly and the rushing wind told of a fast approaching storm. I must find shelter and my first thought was: Where do my fairy-folk go in such a storm?” As if in reply to my thought, a light flashed brightly in front of me. I walked towards it rapidly and saw it flash again farther on. Again and again I saw it and hurried after. Once I almost stopped when I thought of the Will of the Wisp” that signaled men to their doom, but I had faith in my fairy-folk and went on now quite breathless as the rain drops splashed on my cheeks. 1 must be quite near it now for it was brighter, and to my surprise I saw a huge elm tree in this forest of pine. Some storm had partly overthrown it. and the light shone from a cavern formed by its far- reaching roots. Crouching low I rushed to this shelter and was none too soon for the heavens seemed to open, and the rain came down in sheets. But the shower passed and as suddenly as they had disappeared the rays of the setting sun gleamed through the glistening branches. .1 scrambled from my shelter and hurried home over the slippery pine needles. Many times after 1 searched for mv big elm tree and its sheltering roots, but 1 never found it. Kettv 36 ? Marjorie 36eers, ’17 36 HE sun shone brightly and fiercely. The Indian sky was a starving blue. The topical sea was calm and silvery. 'Hie breeze was not strong enough to blow even the feathery palm leaves. The heat was intense. Down the main road leading from Calcutta to the English fort, a little figure trodded bravely on. Her white dress once still with starch, now hung limp with the heat. Her yellow curls clung to her face and neck. It was little Betty. Lieutenant Johnson’s only daughter, his pride and love. She was just five, very beautiful, but alas! so delicate. She was going to see her “Daddy.” because he’d left without kissing her good-bye in the morning. Lieutenant Johnson had promised Betty that he would take iier on a long trip for her health, and he was telling her about it when he received a letter from England, informing him of the failure ■ f a bank in which he had invested a large amount of money. He had left hurriedly to telegraph for further particulars. The day was becoming warmer and warmer, and the little girl walked slowly and yet more slowly until she finally staggered and fell, overcome by the heat. A tall swarthy Lascar with his flowing dress- and white turban came swinging down the road, «a basket under his arm. He was singing a quaint hymn in the Hindustan tongue. Looking up he saw a white bundle lying bv the road just ahead. He picked it up and much to his astonishment found it to be the little English maid. He carried her to the fort and calling the Admiral s daugh- ter. his mistress, he showed her the little lass he’d found. Dorothy Blaisdell took the limp little figure, bathed her forehead and fanned her with a palm leaf. When Betty became conscious and revived a bit. Dorothy tried to find out who she was, but the child couldn’t tell and nothing about indicated her identification. Then Dorothy amused her with stories and pictures.

A few desks and chairs will do wonders for anyone. Isn’t the News Bureau a fine thing? By it we can have all news of importance in all the Boston papers as well as in the Somerville ones. And the best of it is that Miss Morrill, of our own class, is the Editor-in-Chict. Those mass meetings certainly arouse school spirit, but how long docs it last after we get out of the Hall? What is the matter with the Students’ Council and their entertainments this year? Isn’t it about time to start something of interest to the whole school? Walsh and I'risby evidently do not intend to go to college for they didn’t take the Geometry ex- amination. What could have changed their minds so suddenly? Cushing: 'T like to play football but I hate scrimmage.’’ “Why?” • Cushing: No slugging allowed? There arc four men in our class who are in- terested in school athletics enough to be on a team. They are:— On the football team: Cushing, center: Mac- Lcllan. left guard. )n the tack team: Carpenter, captain. I'risby. This is twenty-five per cent, of the fellows in the class of P l‘ -A which is a larger per cent, than any other class has representing them in- athletics. R----- says that I'risby is candidate for Class- artist, so lie must be. Rubcnstein (reciting): “Er—er—er—I forget. I knew it last night.” Same old excuse. That talk which Miss Merrill gave the editors is what improved the notes so much this time. How many arc going to take advantage of the R. im.vTon’s prize contest? But few can com- pete from our class for there are only three sub- scribers out of the thirty-six in the class. It that isn't poor school spirit, what is? Well, it you can't write stores for a prize ymt can write one for the credit of the class and the R niAT0H. Soon there will be some ice to skate on and then all the boys will go out to help Manager Harold Lyman Ryan win a few games if a suit- able place can be found for playing.

Ruhenstein is almost through his June set in Bookkeeping. He lias only to complete his cash, purchase, and sales books, and make out his in- ventories and statesments. The Class of 19la-A has moral support as- sured. Miss Morrill and Miss Wood have be- come Sunday School teachers. They apparently practise teaching when some important notice is to he read from the bulletin. The members of the Students’ Council in 201, recently made George Kendall clean his desk and keep it so. They received the hearty support of the teacher. If Raymond Smith and George Kendall would show the school spirit that Cushing shows and go out for the football team, it would strengthen the team decidedly. 1915-B Editor, Elmer K. Pilsbury.

A teacher was explaining to his class the theory of the complete renewal of the 1 uly every seven years. ’Thus. lie said, addressing Miss Maynard, “in seven years you will no longer be Miss Maynard.” Alva cast down her eyes demurely as she re- plied : Well.

Division II1-X in French has adopted a unique plan of perfecting their French enunciation and increasing their vocabulary.

Miss K —-y made a statement that she killed an animal with three hides, and Mike, our class question mark, is trying his best to find the ani- mal. Some people said it was a fox, others a Schroeder. but Bill denies it. Shea is a terrible boy to tell anything to in the way of geometry.

New York, with its changeable skyline, appeared in view. Perhaps the most wonderful building seen in New York was the Woolworth Building. which rises like a great cathedral out of the old stores and dwell- ings of the water front. This building, the highest in the world, has sixty stories, and is ?!F2 feet high. On a clear day from the top may be seen West Point, forty miles to the north, and Princeton Uni- versity, forty miles to the southwest. People on the street below look like flies, and automobiles may just barely be distinguished moving along. This building is the feature of New York. The Aquarium, Wall Street. Eden’s Musee, and other buildings were visited. As we boarded the steamer and wended our way slowly out toward tnc ocean, we passed under the three large bridges, and looked with special inter- est upon Deer Island. We looked with a tinge of sadness at the Statute of Liberty, a symbol of the attitude of our free country, because we felt as if that was the last object which we would visit before landing at Fall River.

H h,, ;C EXCHANGE NOTES Within the past month this school has re- ceived some twenty or thirty exchanges. These school papers are of great variety, some coining from the 1 eal schools, others from the W est and South: some being published by secondary schools, others by higher institutions. These publications contain many excellent and original ideas, the reading of which ought to be of great benefit to any of the students. While the exchanges are primarily for the use of the Exchange Editor, there is no reason why the other students should not have the oppor- tunity of seeing them. So hereafter, the various exchanges, having been acknowledged by the Editor, will be left in the rack in Room 201, where all will have easy access to them. Read them, profit by their work, improve your material by their suggestions, and let their ex- amples of high standard in their different depart- ments goad you on to produce such work as will make the Somerville High School Radiator excel them all! Tlic Radiator offers the following friendly criticisms anticipating in exchange criticisms of itself:— The Cushing cademy Prceze is a fine paper but very sober. Why not venture a joke or two? 'The Index. South High School. Worcester. Mass., is an excellent paper which lacks only an exchange column. 'Hie Increscent, l’eloit High School. Michigan, might be made more interesting if in place of so many jokes, more school activities were described. The Reflector. Gloucester High School, has a good cover design, but the paper would be im- proved with the addition of a table of contents and an exchange column. There are many fine stories in the Red and While, Rochester High School, New Hampshire. We wish that the exchange column of the Low- ell High School Review, contained some good criticisms- instead of all jokes. The editorial in Review, Wilkinshurg. Penn., is exceptionally fine. The Gleaner, Pawtucket. R. I., contains the best and most original sketches of any exchange received this year. The pupils of Brighton High School might improve their Imp if instead of publishing three or four very short stories of mediocre quality, they would concentrate their ability into one good long story. I he Melrose High School. School Life, is too good a paper to lack an index. Surely the pupils of Wcstboro High School can muster enough talent for at least one story in each edition of their Review. The ideas in the exchange column of the Tri- pod, of Roxbury Latin School, coincide with ours throughout. 1 he Nobleman, Noble and Grccnough School. Poston, is a very dignified paper, not cheapened with petty class notes. The boys of Groton High School are to he complimented upon the successful results of their engraving plant, as shown in their Groton- ian. 1 lie Malden High School Oracle, contains many praiseworthy stories. I he 1 riumph of Art. is an interesting story in the Pioneer. I. N. M. I School, New Orleans, La. I he Newton High School Review, and the Nautilus, W atcrvillc High School, Me., would both he improved by the addition of a table of contents. The Jabberwock. of Girls' Latin School, Pos- ton. is a bright little paper. I he Portland High School Racquet contains excellent criticisms in its exchange column. I he Students Lantern. from Saginaw High School. Saginaw. Michigan, is the best all-around exchange received this year.

Once a year there is held in Chicago, a National Dairy Show where all interested in the dairy industry meet and in conventions and discussions talk over the improvement of public milk supplies. The United States Government, through its dairy division, holds a milk contest that is open to every milk producer and dealer in this country and Canada. The National Dairy Show offers medals and banners to those who produce the best milk. The United States Government does all the judging. According to their usual custom, H. P.

We soon enjoy •our annual vacation, during which we endeavor to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child. Con- sider, friends, how we are situated. With our profuse presents, our many coursed meals, our sparkling fir trees, all these fulfill our custom of the celebration of this day. But again, consider what all this meails. Is it a display of such loveli- ness of presents and things of the beautiful? No. 'Hie spirit of generosity dominates them ali. In other words it is our second Thanksgiving Day. We shall enjov on this day. jollity, beauty, and satisfaction. But shall our brothers and sisters abroad? Cast into the miserable depths of carnage, destruction, want and death, war ““casts her jealous wings” over the continent of our friends. Is it a Christmas for them? Yes, they have the spirit, but their method of expres- sion is different. Consider that and may we re- joice that America enjoys the purity and justice of peace. And may we hope for “All peace on «earth, good will toward men.” K K Athletes, football is gone. That has become Tiistory, but now a new sport appears. Hockey approaches as soon as ice settles on the brooks, ponds and rivers. Again, school spirit broods over our players and the spectators are bound ■to cheer. No physics laboratory can prove that •school spirit may be frozen. But school spirit •can arouse the people, and success and enthusi- asm go hand in hand. Hockey Team, every- body turns their eves to you. We. the student- body, shall furnish enthusiasm. By the above statement enthusiasm and success arc locked to- gether. Therefore you shall have success. A championship baseball team, a good football team and an excellent track and cross country team have bestowed honors upon the school. Now a hockey team! Not a good team, not an excellent team, but a championship team for Nineteen Fifteen. K , � •� ibis number concludes the issues of the Radiator for the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fourteen. Although our volumes begin with October numbers, the staff always makes resolutions to improve the numbers, and commencing with January 1 of each year, en- deavor- are made to perfect the Radiator. Some people form the opinion that the Somer- ville High School Radiator is issued by a cer- tain group of students, but this is an error. The staff merely compiles the ma- terial handed in by the student-body and issues it in the most effective manner possible. Now, in the coming year, let us all strive to perfect tlie several columns of the paper. Let us for- get the quantity side. We could all write some worthless and disinteresting article, print it in a fortv-eighl page number and then remark, How i- our paper now?” We should soon find out by the criticisms in the col- umns of our Exchange. Classmates, it is not quantity. By no means do we want to lessen the prestige of our paper. Quantity? No! It is the good story, original notes with some wit. anything new and inter- esting that constitutes quality. Now is your chance to help make your column, your class, your paper, your school and indirectly your city worth something. Resolve that you will con- sider. at least, what this article wishes to teach; then the R adiator has some hope of prosperity, botch try and help beginning January First, 1015.

As a school, we have weathered many bad storms in the past few years,—crowding almost beyond endurance, two sessions, and the uniting of two schools. We are at last in tranquil waters. Let us look back for a few minutes and think of our blessings:— We are all at school at the same time, working, planning, and thinking together. We can teach and recite undisturbed by tiie discordant pounding of the hammer, the rasping of the saw, or the swish of tlie paint brush. We can tell time by the clocks and go home before dark. We have a little more leisure to stop when we meet, look kindly into each other’s faces, and say Good morning.” We have a lunch counter at which we can cat pure food” with an appetite to appreciate it. We have a hall in which we can meet, touch elbows, and have a good time. We have more time to think new thoughts and do new things. We have a good school, with the strength and will to make it better. Are we appreciative of these good things, do we try to make life easier and happier for others, do we sometimes help those less gifted and fortunate than ourselves? If so, the world is better and happier because we are in it. and we can truly say Peace on earth, good will toward men. John A.

It's only two weeks till Christmas. That makes all. doesn’t it. Con?” and Phil Thorn looked up at his sister. Yes, I suppose so.” came the slow answer. “Oh, Phil, I do want to invite Rosalin Thorn!! She is never allowed to go to anything or to have a bit of a good time.” “Old Cncle Calvin would be mighty liable to let her come here, of all places, wouldn't he? Even supposing dad would let us invite her!” “I’d like to know why not! snapped Con- stance. We've just as much right to the De- batable Ground as lie has! But it’s silly to be horrid to Rosalin just because of an old family quarrel. She’s always tried to be friendly, even when Uncle Calvin glared like an ogre, and at school, she’s «lonesome lovely things for me that she thought I didn’t know. PhiP scowled 'thoughtfully at the fire. It must be sort of hard on a girl, especially on a girl as pretty as Rosalin, to be shut out of all the fun. just because her grandfather was a crusty old curmudgeon. “Tell you what. Connie.” he vol- unteered. I’ll back you up. if you want the job of arguing dad into letting us.” Done! cried Constance. “And I'll do it now! The quarrel between the Thorns was of long standing. Years and years ago. before even old Calvin was born, David Thorn had sold to his brother John what was then called the southfield. and since that time there had always been a quarrel as to whether it had run along the edge of the woods. There was no way of settling the matter for the deed was lost. David and John had been agreed on one thing. John had re- ceived it from David’s own hands, at a grand ball given in honor of Sallie Davidge’s wedding, lie had had it when he left, but on the way home, the horse had run away, and when the excite- ment and fright were over, it was nowhere to be found. And from that time on the two families had 'hated each other. Xow all John’s branch of the family were dead except old Calvin and his granddaughter Rosalin. Constance’s father said that, on his part, he had nc objection to her wish of inviting Rosalin to the party on Christmas Eve, but he doubted if she would be allowed to come. So Rosalin’s in- vitation was sent with the others, and Constance, according to Phil, spent the next day in worry- ing. Rosalin might not be able to come; she might not have a costume to wear if she should, for it was an old-fashioned costume party, and Uncle Calvin might do all sorts of things. Hut she did accept, and Constance fairly danced with joy. I he days passed in a flurry of excitement, and at last it was Christmas Eve. The guests were arriving, and Constance, in her pretty Colonial costume, stood with her eyes anxiously fastened on the door. I do hope that nothing will hap- pen so that Rosalin can't come,” she whispered to Phil. Phil hoped so himself but he did not feel called upon to say so. And then she came, all wrapped in a dark cloak, and rather shy. Constance flew to her. “Oh, Rosalin. I'm so glad you could come! I was so afraid something might happen. Something might have, if I’d asked grand- father. for he never lets me go anywhere but—.” and Rosalin’s eyes danced at the thought, It’s Christmas Eve, and I’ve run away, for, oh. Con- stance. I do want to be friendly. So do we.” was the answer, and then Rosalin was whisked away. When she returned minus the long cloak. Constance gave a gasp of aston- ishment. Rosalin. what a lovely dress!” It was lovely, a pale pink satin, brocaded in silver, and very becoming to Rosalin with her dark hair and eyes. It was mv great-grand- mother’s. she answered. It------ but then she was interrupted by an officer in Continental blue and buff, and Constance was introducing her brother Phil. The gallant officer evidently ap- proved of Mistress Rosalin Thorn, who. on her part, had left all her scared shyness behind with her cloak. It made a sensation. Rosalin Thorn. every- one whispered. Rosalin Thorn at a party! Rosalin Thorn at a party at the other Thorn’s!” Everyone wondered what old Calvin Thorn would say when he heard of it. for no one really be- lieved that Rosalin was there with his consent. He was far too bitter over what lie called the robbery practised by the other branch of the family. Now the party commenced in earnest. Rosa- lin had never known it was possible to have such a good time. Everyone was so nice to her, and her cousins, in her opinion, were the best in the wide world. This state of affairs continued till after supper. E’or the moment Rosalin was alone, and absorbed in watching the gay picture, she started a little when someone spoke to her. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR You’re Rosalin Thorn, aren’t vour” ques- tioned a voice, honey-sweet, but in spite of its sweetness seeming t imply that it was a deep disgrace to he that person. Rosalin flushed. She did not like this ques- tioner. but she admitted her identity, “quite like a prisoner at the bar,” she said to herself. 1 thought you were but I wasn’t quite sure. It seems so queer to sec you at anything like this.” I beg your pardon, but I didn’t understand your name.” R salin's voice, too, could be silky. ‘Marian Bridges. 1 thought,” she went on ignoring the interruption, “that your family and Connie’s had a quarrel. Connie's a dear, but she is rather queer sometimes, you know. .She does the strangest things. Evidently the speaker thought that in inviting Rosalin. Connie had done one of those strange things. Rosalin's hands, hidden in the voluminous folds of her dress, clinched themselves, and un- consciously one found its way into a pocket, cleverly concealed in the skirt. Her cheeks flamed scarlet. It seemed to her that she had never been so angry. But someone saw the danger signals. Constance was watching. “Quick, Phil!” she commanded her brother in an undertone. That horrid Marian Bridges ha- got at Rosalin, and Rosalin is simply furious! In another minute Phil had reached his cousin. Marian. Connie’s asking for you. I don’t know what she wants. Something impor- tant. I reckon!” Miss Bridges reluctantly be- took herself in search of Constance, and Phil steered Rosalin to a quiet place. “Hang tight! he advised. Never mind what Marian said. She’s like medicine, good for you. but hard to take! I’m going home! declared Rosalin, storm- ily. “You arc not! You’re going to behave your- self while 1 get some ice cream to cool your heated temper.” With that he departed. “After all,” thought Rosalin. I may as well stay. I'd hate to have that Bridges girl think she’d driven me home, and I’d hate worse to spoil Connie’s party, when she was so dear as to invite me.” Her fingers loosened their grip, and as they did so. a piece of paper fell to the floor. hv. what can that be? and she bent to pick it up. At first she only gave it a careless glance, and then, with an exclamation, she sat up straight, staring wide-eyed ar the paper. N ellowed and time-worn, it iay in her -hand5. A deed! she gasped. “A deed to the Southfield!” Again she read it carefully. “They were right, Rosalin whispered. “They were right, and we were 61 wrong! The edge of the woods the boundary line! Holding the paper tightly, she went slowly through the crowd, and once out of the room, she ran through the hall and upstairs. Snatch- ing her cloak, she hurried down again, and slipped out through the door into the night. It was clear and c � ld out, and the snow was- quite deep, so deep, in fact, that Rosalin had to slacken her pace because it was such hard walking. It was not far to her home, but it took a considerable time ; reach it. Out of breath� she finally climbed the steps and rang the bell. A minute later she sto d at the library door, and her grandfather locked up from his paper, Rosalin! he ejaculated. I’ve been to a party, grandfather,” shg be- gan. What!” lie roared. Connie had been right when she said that her Cndc Calvin glared like an ogre. He did so now. Constance Thorn invited me to her party, and I went.” she c ntinued undaunted. Do you mean to tell me that you went to a party time':” Her grandfather's voice breathed forth fire and slaughter. Yes. Rosalin never minded his rages. And. oh, grandfather! Sec what I found!” At first old Calvin Thorn did not comprehend the meaning of that slip of paj er. And then slowly realized it. He had been in the wrong. It was hard to admit it. but it was true. Then Rosalin told how she had found it in the pocket in her skirt. I remember,” said her grandfather slowly, “mother never would wear that dress. She thought it unlucky because of the runaway and the loss of the deed. She must have picked it up in the excitement and put it there.” There was silence for a few minutes, Calvin Thorn was thinking. There was only one thing for a gentleman and a Thorn to do, but it came hard. Finally Rosalin’s low voice broke 'the silence from the doorway where she still stood. “Grandfather, it's Christmas Eve.” Yes. he answered, “it’s Christmas Eve.” Then he went to the door and gave an order. “Sit down. Rosalin. and wait. The sleigh will be around in a few minutes.” And Rosalin sat down. Long before this, Phil had returned with the ice cream, to find no one. Was it possible that she had gone home after all? He thought meditatively of things he would like to do to Marian Bridges, and then set ofif in .search of Connie. Seen Rosalin?” he inquired. “No.” she answered. “Phil, she hasn’t gone home! Oh. that wretched Marian!” [Cominuctl cn I'age 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Mbicb? JB ? j£mma Hidden, T6 J6 R. JOIIX PROWX, widower, sat in his kitchen, Christmas Eve, after a day of hard work, looking about him with rueful countenance. His gaze took in an untidy room, at one end of which there was a sink filled with dirty dishes. When his eye fell on the dishes, hi face lengthened pcrceptablv. He was musing -on the loneliness of his existence and tlie well-nigh hopeless task of tidying the room. His mind, however, was not entirely occupied with what lie saw. There was a matter that went hand in hand, so to speak, with the other. This was the chief cause of his woeful expres- sion. This was not the first time he had con- sidered his lonely condition. It had occurred to him several times during the past year. In fact, lie had made a small beginning toward al- leviating it. In. a- neighboring town there dwelt a widow, middle-aged, ample of body, genial of face and disposition. Mrs. Diantha Perkin’s fame as a housekeeper had traveled far. Uncle John, as he was familiarly called, had been “keeping com- pany” with Aunt Diantha. The progress he had made toward the ultimate termination of his lonely condition, he had considered very satis- factory. Of late, however, . great press work, it be- ing lumbering time, had caused him to neglect his wooing. So busy had he been that he had not noticed the flight of time since his last call on Diantha. He had, not an hour ago, received very disturbing news, namely, that he had a seri- ous rival in tlie person of one Seth Loop. Seth was a middle-aged widower, like himself, whose fortune and personal appearance he had sadly reflected were equal, if not superior to his own. Why had he been late with his wooing? He might have known that it was not safe to neglect so important a matter. For the sake of a few paltry dollars gained by working on his farm, lie had perhaps lost forever a gem like Aunt Diantha Perkins. He had been reliably informed that Mr. Loop had pressed his suit with such vigor that even this very minute might be too late. Uncle John was hale and hearty, and the thought of long dreary years ahead, doing his own work or depending on hired help was ap- palling. Worse still, there was no more matri- monial timber standing around, so sound and well suited for his purpose, at least, none that he knew of. What would he do? Thus lie pon- dered. Suddenly he slapped his knee a vigorous whack and ejaculated, “O vum. I'll do it! I’ll start right off this minit, go sec Dianthy. state my case, and find out jest how I stand. It’s the only way. I guess I can get there afore it’s too late, though how in tarnation I’m goin’ to broach the subject after I get there is mdrc’n I know. That’s the wust of it. I’m out of prac- tice. ish I could remember how I got around it the fust time: expect I had conslderbul help. Don't seem right to blurt it right out, ask her to marry me right off the reel. Perhaps on the road over I'll think up some way to lead up to it slick and gradual. Pet ye. I make a fool of myself and bungle it so she won’t have me even if Loop ain't got ahead of me.” During this soliloquy John, full of conflicting emotion, was hustling around and in a short time was on his way. It was about six miles to Mrs. Perkins’ house. The old horse tired from the day’s work made slow progress through the deep snow. The progress Uncle John was making on the “slick” speech was even slower. He doubted his ability to get there before Mrs. Perkins retired or make a favorable impression if he did. How- ever. he urged his tired nag along, vowing that he would stick to it. In the meantime. Mr. Loop was bent on the same errand. He believed in letting no grass grow under his feet, and having business that evening in the village beyond Mrs. Perkins’ house, he resolved to stop on his return and learn bis fate before Christmas. The business delayed him longer than he expected, and it was late when he started back but be decided to go by Diantha’s house and call, in case she was up. He had just started when Uncle John, com- ing from the opposite direction arrived at the lady’s house. John was dismayed to note that Mrs. Diantha was on the point of retiring. The lower win- dows were dark but there was a light in the upper story. Mrs. Perkins lived in the ell of her house, her sleeping room being over the kitchen. Loth rooms extending the width of the ell. which was at right angles to the road, the kitchen had a door on each side. Uncle John drove in one side and with many misgivings, knocked on the door. The chamber window was thrown open and an ample form appeared, surmounted by a frilled night cap. “Who’s there?” inquired Diantha. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 63 ‘‘Me, John J-lrown.” For the land's sake. John, what's happened?” If John had prepared a speech on the way over, it was gone now. •‘Dianthy. he began, “I dunno what you'll think of me. but I started over here post haste, all of a sudden, and if it ain’t too late, I want to know it you’ll be my wife and marry me. Will ye. Dianthy? John was very much ex- cited by this time. Diantha began to make a reply when a jingle of sleigh bells and a resounding knock were heard on the opposite kitchen door. With a parting, for the land's sake.” Aunt Diantha's night-capped head popped in on one side and a mi.iutc later out on the other. Dianthy. is that you?” came up from Mr. Loop. Seth Loop, you ain't come here to propose, have ye?” Yes, why.” answered the astounded Mr. Loop. Land sakes alive! wait a minit,” and Dian- tlia’s head popped in again. While neither man knew it. the side on which her head was to come out again would decide how each would cele- brate his Christmas. Evidently she did some rapid thinking for in about three minutes, which seemed much longer t die impatient and nervous gentlemen below. Aunt Diantha's head with cap somewhat awry appeared on L’ncle John's side. John. she said, you jest step around and tell Seth lie can go along home. I’ll be right down as soon as I can.” H IReal fllban J6 ? Ubomas Scanlon, ’16 06 K had come from a small town in Maine two years before and 110 one knew anything about him, ex- cept that his name was Dick Lewis and that he had no parents. He was in his junor year and was one of the most popular fellows in Fillmore College, good in his college work and an excellent athlete. He was president of his class and quarter-back on the football eleven. Dr. Dayton has prophesied for him an excel- lent future as a lawyer, as Dick possessed shrewdness, ready wit and eloquence of speech, which arc the essentials of a successful barrister. It was one day in the middle of November that Dr. Dayton, the professor of law, asked Jack Gordon to go to the library and in Morton’s Monthly” dated some fourteen years back, to look up the details of a certain case. As lie crossed the campus he met Dick and Will Smith, another junior who consented to accompany him. Jack had worked over the papers for some time when he asked, suddenly, Dick, what was the name of your home town?” Mil- lord.” answered Dick why? Will Smith who was looking at the magazine also, said sarcastically. I guess it’s one of the black sheep of your family.” Dick grew pale. What is it about?” he asked nervously. The case of a certain Richard Lewis of Milford. Me., who speculated and lost about ten thousand dollars of bis employer's money, or in other words, he stole it. Didn't know him, did you? queried Smith. Poor Dick trembled. The something that he had long wished would be kept hidden bad turned up. Something told him to say ‘'no, but to deny his own father’s relation---------■‘‘Tic was my father. he stammered, but he lacked courage to say any more. His two friends stood as if petrified, while Dick walked slowly from it lie library. During the week that followed Dick spent the m: st miserable days of his whole life: he was suffering for his father's sin. 'Flic students barely nood'ed to him as they passed and even Jack seemed cold to him. Copies of the maga- zine were now secured and the wretched story became known to all. Mr. Gordon, Jack's father, seemed alone his friend, but Dick was ashamed to approach even him. Dick was seated in a small ro m i:i the college boring at his Latin, for in these days he stuck doggedly to his studies. He did not notice W ill Smith and several other fellows enter the room nor did they notice him. Jack, who was one of ■the group, remarked sincerely. It's too had all that about Lewis’ father had to leak out. I am sorry, for Dick is not a bad fellow.” Yes.” said Will Smith, that queered him with the frat all right. Good thing they found him out in time. It would give the K. K. 1 . frat a had reputation to have ‘Richard Lewis, son of Rich- ard Lewis. Sr., convict, go down in its records. Say. Lewis’ father must have been a pretty had egg. ITc------” Stop it.” cried a voice from the further cor- ner of the room, and Dick stumbled toward the group. “Take it hack. Smith! You gave-me no chance; you have thrown me down every chance you got. What have I done? Is it my fault my poor father died a convict? Has he not paid for his crime? I was only five years old when he died, but even though be did do 4 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR wrong himself, lie taught me worthy principles. And -you, you coward, it was people like you that killed my mother. Everywhere she went it was ‘Dick Lewis wife ; she could not stand it and she died of shame. 1 was then sent to school by two of my mother's friends and when I was old enough I came here to Fillmore Col- lege.

I'd rather-—— He lid not finish, but staggered out of the room. $ « On Saturday, the annual football game be- tween Fillmore College and Alton University was to be plaved. Dick would not play and Smith would have to take his place. Alton had an unusually good team, and, without the regular quarterback. Fillmore would not have any chance. The odds were against them and vic- tory did not seem possible. Revenge was sweet and Dick smiled dolefully to himself. Saturday the stands were packed. From one side the red and blue of Fillmore floated out and waved defiantly to the brown and white of its opponent. In a-far corner sat Dick, staring upon the field. The cheering and rooting in- creased—the referees whistle blew sharply and the ball went twirling into the Alton full back’s awaiting bands. The game was on. Fillmore was playing a Hard game and Alton was held closely during the first half. Smith was playing a fairly good game at quarterback but was weak- on handling punts and in judging his plays. It was the third period and Alton had the ball on its own thirty-five yard line. Stroud, the Alton punier, dropped back to punt and with a terrific kick be sent the pigskin twisting down the field for forty-five yards. Smith stood nervously awaiting the ball, misjudged it and an Alton man pucklv recovered his fumble and was tackled by Smith; but it was too late. The next play Stroud dropped back and booted a pretty field goal, making the score 3-0 in favor of Alton. Alton then kicked off to Fillmore and Smith re- ceived the kick and ran it hack to the middle of the field, but in doing so lie twisted his ankle so badly that he had to be carried off the field. What was to be done? They had no other quarterback. Someone on the sideline spied Dick and called “Lewis! Soon everybody was cheering for Lewis. Dick could not see Fillmore lose, and de- feat seemed certain as the fourth period was not at hand. Up he jumped and racing quickly to the club house, donned his togs and dashed onto the field. The team seemed inspired with new spirit but they could not gain through Al- ton's heavy line. Dick dropped back and punted the ball to Alton’s fifteen yard line. After a series of rushes A’ton succeeded in placing the ball in the middle of the field. The Alton stands were wild with jov, while the Fillmore rooters were silent. Suddenly the ball shot over the line and the Alton ends dashed down the field. The crowd was as silent as death! Would those ends succeed in getting the forward pass was the thought of everyone, when unnoticed Dick ran between the two Alton players and seized the ball. Without stopping he tore down the field wild ; man after man tried to stop him but in vain, and Dick Lewis crossed the goal line. The Fillmore stands went wild. Cheer alter cheer was given for Lewis, but Dick paid no at- tention. Modestly be prepared to kick and soon the ball went twirling through the uprights. X’o sooner was the kick off again made when time was called. Fillmore had won 7-3 and Dick Lewis, the hero, was carried off the field on the shoulders of his admirers. Meanwhile Jack Gordon was holding a confer- ence with the iv t of the boys. Say. fellows. he said, it was a very poor spirit the way we treated Lewis. What do you say. fellows about the frat? He won’t accept an offer now. said one. lint to their surprise Dick did accept, for he knew that they were sincerely sorry. When Dick had at last shaken off the last of his ad- mirers and was walking slowly across the cam- pus to his room he met Mr. Gordon. Dick. he said. ‘T am proud of you; you have proven yourself a man. . Of all the glory he had at- tained. Dick thought this was the greatest. He had proven that he was a man.

Vnobam, T 5«06 dear, exclaimed Helen, 1 do wish the people would stop pushing so. 1 am nearly crushed to pieces.' Helen and her brother John were on a crowded street car. Don’t worry Sis, we haven’t much farther to go, just hang on my arm and you will be all right. Hut,” whispered Helen, I am always afraid that pickpockets arc among crowds, and you know I don't want to lose my new purse. An idea struck John. Couldn't he slyly reach in Helen's pocket, take her purse and then tease her about pickpockets after she discovered her loss? He would try it anyway. Slowly and stealthily his hand reached out in the direction of her pocket (as he thought), clutched the coveted article, and placed it in his own pocket. “Xow what tun I’ll have with Sis. thought John, for like all boys he liked to tease. Come on Helen, here's our stop. ’ cried John. ‘’Oh, I’m glad to get off that horrid car. John, and I can tell you that I held on my pocket book all the time, for I have my suspicions in crowds.” Whv, Sis, arc you sure that you have your purse? I think------ Well, if you don’t believe me. I'll show it to you. See, here it is. and Helen, reaching for it. brought forth from her coat pocket her longed- for purse. What could this mean? Here was Helen's pocket book in her hand, and also (as he sup- posed) in his pocket. As soon as he reached home he rushed to his room and locked the door. His hand then went to his pockets, and he drew forth a beautiful silver pocket book, inlaid with precious gems. He was too astounded and amazed to move, for he now saw that he had made a terrible mistake, and had some one else’s pocket book. I po:i opening the case, lie saw a large roll of bills and in one compartment there were two diamond rings. Whew ejaculated John. This sure be- longs to some rich person: where have I seen it before? If I only could think. Night came, but it brought no sleep to John. Instead, he sat by the shuttered window trying to solve his problem. Little thinking that he would learn some valuable information. It was about midnight: two men approached and leaned against the fence just under John’s window. Sav Dill. spoke one. just above a whisper. Had luck for 11s today. You know the Waylands.—well. Ann was lucky enough to snip a silver purse from the Mrs. today, but while she was coming home it was stolen from her. Hy Jove! we were some surprised. It must have been some smart chap to get ahead of Ann. The talking continued but John had heard enough. Rushing t � the library he picked up the telephone and police headquarters received this message:— This is 10 Cun wood Road, come at once and take two suspicious loafers, yes. plenty of of proof, quick. They are leaning on the fence.” After hurriedly dressing. John stood guard by the window with an old revolver in his hand. Everything seemed to happen in a second, ior there were both men handcuffed and being led off by the officers. John's heart was pounding madly, for lie now knew that his turn would some soon. The next morning he was summoned to the police court, and it was with no little fear that he started out to meet—-he knew n t what. In the meantime. Mrs. YY'ayland. the original owner of the purse, frantic over her loss, had notified police and detective officers, and it so happened that she appeared at the police court to see if any clue had been found, while John, with the purse in his hand was telling his story to the judge. To her astonishment and joy she beheld her lost treasure in the hands of John, her nephew-. The two captured men proved to be expert pickpockets who had been dodging the police for several months. They were greatly -cha- grined to be caught very cleverly by a sixteen- year-old boy. They got their reward, imprison- ment. and John got his longed-for gold watch. When the story was told to his family. Helen roguishly remarked. “Well, do you blame me for holding on to my purse in a crowded car. when I'm in company with such professional light- fingered gentlemen?

Altogether too much space is given to petty jokes, while worth-while criticisms are ne- glected. The Radiator gives honest, friendly criticisms freely, and looks for criticisms in return, but is invariably disappointed. It seems a pity that such capable editors as most of the papers apparently have, should be so backward in this matter, thus depriving others of the benefit which might be derived from the can- did expression of their various opinions. Therefore, on behalf of other papers as well as our own. we urge MORE EXTENSIVE CRITI- CISM.

The field was muddy and slippery. Ellis and Bianchi showed them how to throw a forward, while Keating and Thornton made some good dives through the Everett line. C ushing and Shcpardson showed up on the defensive, also Travers, who received an injured knee cap. Somerville received the kick-off. and on try- ing a forward for the second play. Everett took the ball and started the scoring. Two end runs sent Canned over for a touchdown. A second one followed almost immediately, when Cannei took a punt and ran it back forty yards. Rond then shoved it over for a touchdown. There was only one score in the second period, a touchdown from a forward, from Canned to Trowbridge. In the third quarter. Shcpardson was the hero by pushing Fitzgerald back for a heavy loss. Then Bond and Canned brought the ball within a half-foot of the goal. Somerville held like a stone wad, but on the third attempt, Everett sent Canned over. Then on one run Canned made another, by running fifty yards with a good interference. Everett’s final score was in the last period, when Thornton punted from behind the goal line and Bond ran back within four yards of the goal. Again it took three drives to send Canned over.

Cush- ing and Shcpardson showed good playing, while Thornton tore through the Rindge line as Can- ned did through ours. Johansen who took Magno’s place at left end deserves credit.

Somerville kicked off. and on the second play Kelley made fifty yards for Rindge on a forward, which resulted in a touchdown. Hadley lost the goal. In the second period. White started, off with a field goal. Rindge then kicked off to Somerville and Thornton and Bianchi made some gains. I hey lost the ball on a lateral pass, and Rindge made a long gain on a forward. This brought them on the 10-yard line and in three downs they put Stephenson over. Rindge lost the goal and the period ended with the score 15-0. Somerville started off the second half with a fumble. Shcpardson recovered a Rindge fumble. Thornton made two good gains. Rindge was penalized fifteen yards. Bianchi ran fifteen yards and then threw a forward to Ellis, which brought Somerville to the 15-yard line. Another put them over for the first score. Bianchi kicked the goal. In the last quarter Somerville kicked off to White. Johanson easily nailed him. A fumble bv Kcllev was recovered by Cushing. Somer- ville punted him and two supposed to be end runs by White were easily finished by Ellis. Another fumble by Powell gave Ellis the ball, who ran fortv vards for the second touchdown. Bi- anchi kicked the goal again. Somerville fought for another but time was called. The score is:— SOM E R VILLE. RINDGE. Ellis, r.c.............l.e.. Hamilton, Greclman Flynn, r.t..........l.t..

FIRST ROTECTED by an old piano box from the whirling blizzard which was raging frantically through the dirty and ill-kept streets of the poorer section of New York City, enveloped in a maze of hay, a young lad of fourteen lay curled up asleep; not a peaceful, resigned slumber, but a periodic, worried sleep; a sleep wrought with many alarmed awakenings, and frequently uttered sobs. While he slumbered, a series of events, rep- resented in dreams were Hashing in quick suc- cession through his brain. For he was an orphan ; his father, the last link in his family chain, having passed away little less than a year previous to this time, so he had been forced to leave his home in the country, and knock about in the merciless grasp of old New York in search of a position, until the money, which his father had left him, had totally disappeared. In a strange land, amid the rush, bustle, and confusion of busy New York, the boy was lost, and his numerous inquiries for a job were of no avail. For two months he had been utterly devoid of money, and he was forced to sell papers, black boots, “smash baggage,” and. in truth, beg for his very existence. Com- ing from a refined family and educated ex- tremely well for a boy of his age. as he was, made him suffer the more in the heartless clutches of the big city. What could he next do? Where would he next turn? He lnd had no Christmas, except a fairly good meal, as he called it. consisting of a hot (log. a roll, and a cup of coffee, and he was approaching the last notches of the ladder of despair. He must get a job somewhere! He had always been taught that on the first day of January, everybody should formulate new determinations, new hab- its. new ideals. To-morrow was the first day of January, and he had only enough money in his pocket to buy some morning papers, and yet he must have something to eat. in order to keep from starving, and he must, most of all. get a job in order to start the New Year in the right way. I'll do it.” he murmured, aloud, I'll do it! I'll show ’em yet!’’ “You’ll do nothing!” shouted the voice of Mike, the burly watchman, giving the box a shove and causing Robert to topple over and hit his head against the side of the box. What a greeting was this for the poor, heart- sick boy? In the place of the merry Happy PRIZE. New Year!” which he had been accustomed to on New Year’s morning, lie received the stern 'get out o' here!” of the watchman. I will do it! shouted Robert, jumping up. I'll show you, and others like you, that 1 can d it. You see if I don't. Hoity-toity. ejaculated the watchman, oi niver thought the kid had so much of the spunk in 'ini. Ho! ho! ‘He'll show me,’ he says. What's there to show. I wonder? Robert was running down Ilroadway as fast as possible, to keep back the tears which were tapidly oozing forth from his strained eyes. Stopping at last before a large newspaper estab- lishment. he entered, tremulously, and pres- ently came running forth with his arm full of papers. Everywhere was the cordial atmo- sphere of the new year, and people were happily calling forth their New Year's greetings. Rob- ert longed to be in a place where he too could cheerfully give and receive the Happy New Year.” “Papers. lie cried. World, Times, and Suit. AH about the war. Yes sir, two cents. Paper, sir? No, that's one cent. Here’s your change, sir. Thank you.” Thus it went on until he had disposed of his papers. Counting his money he found that he had thirty cents, a very fair amount for a morning's work. On his way to dinner, tile thought was upper- most in his mind of how he could resolve ujKm new ideals and new customs, how he, a | oor, homeless boy, had the power to make resolu- tions. During dinner, the thought kept troub- ling him until he finally got down from his stool by the counter, entered a nearby store, and pur- chased a pad and pencil. Taking up the pencil he wrote rapidly for a few moments until he had emptied all the resolution that lie had en- tertained in his brain on the writing pad. 1 leaving a sigh of relief lie took up the pad looked at it closely for a moment, folded it neatly, and placed it in his inside pocket, utter- ing meanwhile the three short but manlv syl- lables. I'll do it! Whistling, as he walked out of the store, he proceeded to the wharves, wishing and hoping that an opportunity would present itself to him. Smash your baggage, sir?” he inquired pleas- antly of a large, gruff looking old gentleman, who came puffing along with a large hand bag. Smash nothing,” snarled the old man. If there's any smashing to be done, I'll attend to 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR it, without having a fresh little imp like you giving me any advice. “Happy New Year! called Robert lightly, and passed on, leaving the old man who was uttering a short series of “Bali’s!” “Smash your baggage, sir?” he asked of a portly, jovial 1 oking gentleman, who appeared as though he were a man of vast experience and knowledge. Well, young man, if you think that you can smash it to my satisfaction, go ahead, ex claimed the new employer. “We go to No.— Madison avenue. “Thank you, sir. gratefully cried Robert starting off briskly in the direction of Madison avenue. “Hold on. there, boy, exclaimed the older one. ‘I must wait for my wife and daughter, if you don't mind. It is very evident that you don't chaige by the hour, or you wouldn't be in such a hurry. Ah! Here they arc now. Come on. Bessie. I’ve hired this boy here to take our baggage up to the house. All right, boy. W e’ll take a Broadway .car. Robert, however, was at the present moment engaged in staring with wide open eyes at the little girl who had recently come up with her mother, for it seemed to him that he had never looked upon such a beautiful girl before. Her big golden curls, her big blue eyes, and her radiant little face had attracted Robert so much that he was quite unaware of any All right, boy,” until his employer again remarked. “Have you decided to charge by the hour, boy?” Oh—or—I beg your pardon sir! I—I was thinking, stuttered Robert, greatly confused. As Robert walked along he kept casting quick glances at the little girl, and was quite delighted when the object of his attention came up to him and queried, “Aren't those dress suit cases heavy?” “Oh—er—just a little. said Robert, slightly embarrassed. “But I don't mind. I'm used to it. Do you have to do this all the time?” she asked. “I should think your mother would make you go to school. “I have no mother or father, murmured the boy, with downcast eyes. Oh—h------h ! said the little girl. “Excuse me. I didn’t know, you see. May I asked where you live? Robert looked all around for chances for escape, because he was putting himself in a somewhat embarrassing position. He hated to tell this cultured little maid that he resided in an old piano box. However, after hesitating a moment, he burst out. I have no home. I live wherever I hang my hat.” By tins time they had reached Broadway, whereupon they boarded an uptown car and were carried slowly through the thickly ’popu- lated .-treets toward Madison avenue. l uring the journey, Robert was so ashamed 0. f what lie had told the little girl that his eyes 1. rmly rested on the floor of the car, and lie w mdered what she thought of such a poor, de- graded looking boy. She. « n the other hand, sympathized with the infortunate young lad and was vainly attempt- ing to formulate a scheme to help him; unable to realize what she herself would do without father or mother. While they were thus thinking, Mr. Bronson (for such was his name), was quietly talking with his wife. What a fine little gentleman. he remarked. He doesn’t seem like some of the good-f r- n thing boys down to the wharves. 1 wonder who he is. I was thinking of the very same thing my- self. said Mrs. Bronson. Bessie seems to have taken quite a shine to him. I suppose you noticed that they were engaged in conver- sation coming up from the boat, didn’t you? “Yes. I did. I think he is a very manly I. oking boy. indeed. All right, conductor, next stop. • “Oh. there’s our home,” cried Bessie, as they neared the stop. I’m so glad to get home. Jumping from the car she started to run across the wide street. Ah! What was that coming down the street? It was a pair of runaway horses, coming down t'.ie street at a tremendous rate of speed. But Bessie was not conscious of the fact. She also was not aware that these horses were rapidly gaining on her, and that she must keep on run- ning it she were to avoid them. But. unfor- tunately. her mother, quick to sense Bessie’s danger, called out in an agonizing tone—the tone of a frightened mother—before her hus- band could stop her. Of course, obeying the call of her mother, the most natural thing for Bessie to do was to stop and look around, still apparently unaware of the rapidly approaching span of horses. Robert, standing by quietly with both dress suit cases in his hand iiad witnessed with paling cheek the exciting spectacle, and gasped with fear as he saw her stop and turn, lie saw her crouch down as if paralyzed with fear, seem- ingly to certain destruction before the impend- ing storm of the horses' hoofs. Through Robert’s brain flashed the thought that here was a chance to fulfill one or two of his resolutions, for he had nothing to live for and she had a future before her. Heedless of SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 89 tlie warning cries of the crowd, Robert jumped forward with the rapidity of a deer and sped to the rescue of the little girl, and to his own fate, as he thought. ()n came the snorting horses, tail and mane Hying in the breezes, their hoofs making the din of thunder. On came Robert —botli making a gallant effort to reach their thoroughly terrorized prey. A dive in the air by both horses and boy, the boy conquered—bv hurling the little girl far across the pavement and receiving the reward for his act, a blow on the head by one of the horses' hoofs. All happening in a brief moment, it seemed like hours to the onlookers, and their praises for Robert were unanimous—for the act of one who started the new year right. ' About ten o'clock, on January 1. 1915, in one of the spaciously furnished rooms of the Bron- son mansion, a young lad of fourteen slept not a worried, forced sleep, but a peaceful, resigned slumber, filled with happy thoughts, and rest- ful dreams. Robert had accomplished to his satisfaction his one big New Year’s resolve—to help somebody, even though it meant personal sacrifice. In still another room of the same mansion a little girl lay, thinking over the happenings of the day. but most of all, thinking of her young hero. By her side her mother sat, and her father stood near, meditating deeply over a •piece of ragged and torn paper, which he held in his hand. With wrinkled brows, and quiver- ing v; ice, lie read the following words:— January 1, 1915. I, Robert Bronson, hereby draw up mv resolutions for the year of 1915 RESOLVED:' 1. That I will dedicate this year towards helping somebody else, even though it mean self-sacrifice. 2. That I will be brave and courageous, never halting to seek for a position. •k That I will give and receive a hearty “Happy New Year'’ before this day passes, in order to clear my conscience. -L 1 hat I will never sleep in an old piano box again, if 1 have any means to prevent it 5. That I will— I he rest was torn. Mr. Bronson turned to his wife and spoke in a low tone, “Martha, do you know who this boy is?” Mrs. Bronson could only shake her head in the negative. 1 hat little man, Martha, is my nephew, and I'm proud to own him and claim him as such. 1 saw him when he was a mere baby, but Ins father moved somewhere without notifying me. so I haven't seen him since. Evidently lie is dead. 'I his boy possesses noble qualities like Ins father, as you have seen from these resolutions, so my big resolve is to sec that his resolutions are fulfilled. Let us go in and see him. Bessie is sleeping, now.” They entered Robert's room softly, and, step- ping to the bed, looked down upon his scared face. Slowly his eyes pened. and he mur- mured. I did do it! I did show you Mike I’ And then, as his eyes became accustomed to the room, he discovered that he was not in his old piano box but was in a real bed and that bending over him were kind, human, sympa- thetic faces. Mr. Bronson, leaning towards him spoke kindly. You did it. Robert, you showed them, and if you like, you can be my son and live with me.” If I only could. Oh. how lnppy I feel. 1 made a resolution that—what time is it?” sud- denly cried Robert. Ten minutes of twelve.” cheerfully an- nounced Mrs. Bronson. Happy New Year! exclaimed Robert, with beaming face. “Happy New Year! ’ chorused Mr. a::d Mrs. Bronson. “1ba� t s mu’’ Bv Hrtfour IB. StarbirB, 1918 H SECOND • 2 22. °i W O boy-' crouched near the shore i of ne of the numerous islands in the vicinity of Key West, watching with intense curiosity pictured on -r their perspiring faces, a boat being. put off from a small brig Hying at its stern the Spanish Hag. It apparently c 11- tained about twenty men. but it was so far from the shore that neither of them could as- PRIZE. certain their meaning in landing on this unin- habited island. ‘ But what could they want here?” queried Ralph, the elder, as his eyes wandered from ship to 1) at in an effort to solve the question. Probably out of supplies and they’re com- ing on shore for foul. answered Tom with an uncertain air. The two boys. Ralph Ralston and Tom 90 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Eaton, were college chums, and were both spe- cializing in Botany and Zoology After a break- down and a long sickness on the part of Tom. the family physician ordered him away for a rest. Tom. not wishing to be alone, asked Ralph to accompany him. which being agreed upon, they decided to come to this island for the summer, not only to continue their study of Botany in a more practical way. but for various reasons of their own. Mr. Eaton, who was now captain of a large vessel on its way back from Brazil, had packed in their fifty-foot launch, among � -flier things, a bundle of newspapers from which they learned that Key Island light, one upon which Tom's father always depended to bring him home, was out of order and could not. be fixed fv r a month. But upon their ar- rival at the island their mind was so occupied with other tilings that they thought nothing more of it. Today they had been exploring their new do- main a d upon reaching the opposite side of the island this scene met their eyes and caused this conversation. Ihe boat was now so near that they instinc- tively drew behind a large liana-draped tree. After a number of manoeuvers near the shore, the Spaniards landed her in a cove about forty reds t � the south and afterwards disappeared among a number of huge trees loaded with parasites. It was late in the afternoon and the hot tropical sun was using its last efforts to make the air more sultry, and as the cruel- 1 Hiking men emerged from the trees their sa'.-res glittered in the red light .;f the setting sr:i as they used them in cutting away the low underbrush. The boys followed as best they could without attracting notice, until after walking a few min- utes the Spaniards approached a sort of shel- ter among the trees which the boys had never before noticed. ‘How's that for you? whispered Tom as they 1 oked at each other in wonder. “Come on. W e've got to find what all this is about before we leave this spot, said Ralph, not noticing in his excitement Tom's question. They tiptoed up to the little cabin, after the Spaniards had entered and shut the door. It was a small one. evidently made hurriedly, from its numerous cracks, and was probably not very old, as some of the sap was still left in one of the sago palms. Ralph put his ear to one oi the cracks. This was one time when his two years' of Spanish proved of great use to him. “She is a large schooner loaded with Brazilian coffee.” Yes. that was easy enough. When they see the false signals they will think they are those of Key Island light and will accord- ingly make their way for the supposed Key West, but will only wreck themselves on the coral reef to the north. In a flash it all come to him. These men were the wreckers of whom he had heard so much in the papers. They ha t committed so many depredations on the mer- chant vessels in the past that the government had offered a large reward for their capture. And now by counterfeiting Key Island light they would wreck a Brazilian ship bound for Key West! But just then Ralph, who was so excited that he did not stop to think what he was do- ing. tried to pull himself up to a large opening in the cabin wall in order to see the occupants. He had all but reached it when his strength, which was fast failing, gave out completely, and lie fell with a crash into a pile of brush be- neath. He picked himself up but none too soon, for there was a shout within, the low d o. flew open, and out poured the foreigners, eigh- teen of them. Tom had started to run, but seeing Ralph easily captured, he gave himself up too, although he could easily have made his escape as it was now nearly night. The sun had set and only one who has been there can tell how quickly the shadows come in the tropics. The boys were quickly bound and brought into the shel- ter while the Spaniards jabbered away among themselves evidently discussing what they should do with the spies.” Finally they untied their bonds and opened a trap-door in the floor. A staircase of stone led below into darkness. Ralph started to say something but his mouth was immediately gagged by his captor and they were led down into a small, damp underground cellar. A feeling of dismay came over the boys as the Spaniards closed the trap-door overhead. Hitherto their feelings concerning their present state had been like those of a vague dream. Xevcr had they had such an experience before. But now for the first time they began to real- ize their position and think about it in a serious way. They were too tired and excited to go to sleep that night o they tried to think up sonic way of escape in order that they might in some way save the vessel. The bo s feeling; con- cerning this can only be imagined by one who has been spectator of a wreck and experienced the sensation of not being able to help a per- son on board the doomed vessel. flic next day came with a meagre breakfast of cocoamits and hardtack, and vet no hope of escape. Ralph said that the Spaniards ex- pected the vessel on the night of the third day lienee, and that they must hurry to find escape if escape were possible. They kept track of the time by numbering their meals. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9i On the dawn of the second day of their cap- tivity Ralph found two matches in his pocket. What good they could he he knew not. but nevertheless told Tom of his discovery. In a minute Tom thought out a plan, not of escape, however, but perhaps some way of making es- cape possible. ' W e'll cut our shirts into long strips and by- twisting them together,” he said, perhaps we can make a ’torch’ by which we can explore this dungeon. li e plan was immediately adopted. They found that they would have enough cloth to make four “torches. It took but a few minutes to complete these and soon one of them cast its faint, dickering light into the farthest corner of the small cave. In order to be sure that not one inch of the cave showed a chance of escape, the chums to- gether started to look into the remotest cor- ners of it. Suddenly they stopped short. There in front of them was a rusty iron door. It had evidently been there for years, for one of its bars was nearly eaten through with rust. Tom applied his strong arm to it and pulled with all his might. It gave way! A little more strength and it broke! I11 half an hour the boys by working together succeeded in breaking three of them so that there was enough space left to crawl through. Rut before trying t � make a dash for liberty, as they thought the passage led to it. they cautiously waited until their sup- per had been brought. Then, hastily eating their hardtack, they felt around the earthly wall of the cave for the obscure door. This secret exit was probably reserved by the Spaniards for ; time of attack. After the boys had walked a few steps they came to a sudden descent in the level and found themselves up to their knees in water. Their hearts sank. This was evidently the end of their hopes of free- dom. Ralph was for giving up all and going back to captivity. Wait.” said Tom, “perhaps we can solve this yet. Let’s see, he stooped down and touched his tongue to :hc cool water. “Say! he con- tinued, his eyes Hashing with excitement, this is salt water, and being salt water, it must have some connection with the sea, and if so, this connection must be under water. Anyway. 1 m going to find out. and without more ado he •plunged into it. Ralph waited nearly five minutes and then, after taking a deep breadth, followed. 1 he passage under water seemed to be nearly the same size as it had been. He swam but a few strokes and then felt himself being born up- wards rapidly by the bouyant salt water until finallv he took a gasp of fresh air. He opened his eyes but he could barely see the shore it was so (lark, although it was not far off. hen he reached it Tom helped him ashore and as he held him by the arm whispered, “Say, we've got to get away from this place as |uick as posssible. 7 he cabin isn't far from here and if we ever get away we've got to do it now. Though it was a very dark night and then- clothes were soaked, the two chums walked along the sandy beach nearby, half way back to their camp that night. But they were too tired and excited to go farther, so they made a first at the foot of a high embankment near t ie shore and went to sleep. The next morning bright and early, after dry- ing their clothes, they made their way back to camp. They knew that the coming night was the one on which the ship from Brazil was due and that they must hasten to warn her of her peril. I tell you, said Tom, when we get back we'll take the launch with some provisions and move camp to the west side of Crab Island. It is west of this that most vessels pass bound for Key West, and it will probably be the path of this one. When she passes at night we can go out to her and warn her of the danger. But when they reached the camp a scene of desolation met their eyes. The Spaniards had discovered it. and not only their tent was burned but their provisions had been stolen by the thieves. Quick! See if they took the launch! If so all our hopes are with it, Tom shouted. It was safe enough. They had. fortunately, hid it in a small cove and covered it with an overhanging vine. In it were stored beside guns, Hour, and oranges, a large cask of good fresh water. It took but a few minutes to get the engine started and soon she was on her way. The great red disc of the sun had just gone beneath the horizon a� the little launch puffed its way into a cove in the western side of Crab Island. The boys quickly made a landing and while Ralph kept watch Tom made the coffee. Soon darkness closed and nothing was visible at sea but the light from the moon which was just beginning to show its full face upon the horizon. Ralph kept careful watch towards the island in order to see when the wreckers would prepare for the night. Soon, sure enough, the glimmer of their campfire shone over the dark waters. They probably were getting out their apparatus. Half an hour passed when suddenly a brilliant light Hashed forth— “Two—two—six ; two—two—six —sure enough, it was the exact imitation of Key Island light. How it was accomplished the boys knew or cared not. At half past nine a dark hulk appeared south 92 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR of Crab Island. Although every sail was set. it moved very slowly because of the still air. The wreckers had evidently seen her too, for the false lights burned brighter and brighter. Xow was the time to act. The launch was all in readiness. With calm waters the boys put on all speed, and in the silence of the night it seemed to them as if the engine's exhaust would sound all over the world. I hit listen.—far off came the sound of oars «cleaving the waters of the sea. Plainly the boys heard Stroke, stroke, stroke.” The moon had just risen above the dark ocean and its friendly rays disclosed to them a large boat drawing nearer and nearer. It’s the wreckers! They've seen us! Put on every inch of speed!” cried Tom. excitedly shouting into the cabin at Ralph. Just then he heard Ralph groan. “Tom,” he said, “the wire connecting cyclin- der Xo. 1 and the magneto is broken and L ■can’t fix it. Only one of the cylinders is work- ing.” loin’s heart sank. Well, be answered, “we’re got to do our best. 1 don’t think they ■can catch us at that.” They were having a race perhaps for their lives. The little launch made a great effort and chugged away like a veritable steam train. Tom stood in the stern and watched their pursuers. He knew that before the engine was disabled they had little danger of capture, but now the enraged Spaniards were steadily gaining on them for their speed was reduced to less than one half. The vessel was now but a quarter of a mile away. Nearer and nearer drew the row- ers. Although the sturdy little engine was do- ing its utm st. it could hardly beat the row- ing of twenty desperate men. I hit the end was near. The I Brazilian vessel, a large three-master, noticing the fugitives, vceied about that they might come alongside. The wreckers, tired and beaten, turned back towards their lair, probably to prepare for es- cape. At that moment, however, a crash came, fol- lowing which the launch stopped so quickly that both Tom and Ralph were thrown off their feet. It was just as they had expected. They had come too near the reef in their hurry. They quickly picked themselves up and realized to their dismay that the prow was fast sinking. Come.” cried Ralph, its only about three hundred yards. We have got to swim it.” It took but a minute to strip and before long they were cleaving with their arms the cool water. Upon reaching the ship the watch threw a rope to them and they quickly clambered to the deck. While a sailor brought them some clothing, they told their story briefly to him, and lie in turn told it to the captain, who ordered the sailors to make anchor on the spot and also that two boats be sent to the island, each con- taining twenty well-armed men. Final orders were given as the boats sped on their way. It did not take long to reach tin- brig. As they approached they were surprised that no resistance was given. Aboard her n � one was found but the cook and he was cast!) captured, lie would tell nothing of his com- panions and matters were in a strait until sud- denly someone reported a light on shore. “T hey’re the ones,” said the mate, who was in charge of the expedition, ‘and we’ve got ro catch ’em. Eaton, you take charge of this d r while Ralston and 1 lead the other crew. We’ll divide up into two parties. You land your men at that point over there west of the fire. Ral- ston and I will land at this point over here to the east. Make as little noise as possible with the oars. We’ll meet again by that cove over there near the camp fire.” With these orders the two crews parted and leaving the ship, made directly for these points. Everything went along smoothly except that Tom's crew reached the point of meeting be- fore the other. While waiting he heard a rusiL in the bushes behind him. Who goes there?” he almost whispered. Nothing answered him. Who goes there?” he said again this time a little louder. Again no answer came. Who------,” he did not finish it for a shot rang through the air. One of his men, less level-headed than the rest, had forgotten the order not to shoot and had shot at the sup- posed enemy. There was a rustic of wings and a large foul flew up. But the Spaniards had heard the shot and came rushing towards Tom's small crew with their knives drawn. His men were unprepared, and not having time to level their guns, shot widely in every direction. It was a short tussle but a wild one. The sailors saw they had but little chance against the lusty Spaniards and so. after seeing one of their number fall to the ground, fled with the foreigners close behind. But the struggle was not yet ended. Sud- denly from the Spaniards' rear came the shout Hands up!” They turned but to find them- selves confronted by twenty rifles, each levelled at one of them. There was nothing for them to do but to surrender so, sullenly and reluc- tantly. they suffered themselves to be bound. But the next day another scene was going on. As the Brazilian schooner lay in the har- bor of Key West with the captured brig by her side, the captain asked all those who took part SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR in the capture t; see him in his cabin as lie wished to thank them. His chief motive in do- ing this, however, was to see the two boys who had saved his ship. As Tom passed into the low. cabin he cast blit one glance at the old, grey-haired captain, whom lie had not yet seen, and then with joy on his face ran to him cry- ing. “Father! £bat flfcvsterious flfoan” J6 Jennie JGernson, THIRD PRIZE.

If Miss Hepzibah Hop- kins had but known it this twinkle was one of pure unalloyed humor and satisfac- ti. n with the world in general, but she. ready gossip that she was, insisted on regarding it as an extremely bad sign. Yes, my dear. she would say. to her fellow-gossip. Miss Eliza Grimmons. who lived a short way down the street, there is something mysterious about that man. take my word for it. Still despite the dire forebodings of the “ad- vance scout. or chief reporter as she was irreverently called by the small boys who lived in that street, the mysterious man continued in his ways. The chief objection to him as told by Miss Hepzibah was his habit of getting up every rainy morning at the scandalous hour of five o’clock, and disappearing, dressed in old clothes, that would have shamed a tramp, and returning about seven o’clock with a distinctly satisfied look on his face. Then, according to the “chief rep� rter. he would leave the house again at half past seven, once more, the immaculate man of business. Matters reached a climax, however, one day when Miss Hepzibah called a meeting of her choicest cronies, ostensibly for the purpose of sewing for charity, but in reality to discuss the mysterious stranger. One of the ladies, Mrs. Hartwell, had brought her nineteen-year-old daughter, Marie, with her to the meeting owing to the fact that the romantic Marie was be- coming too friendly with the grocer’s delivery boy, and her mother feared the effect of leaving her alone. After retailing her suspicions which her hear- ers by this time could recite themselves with- out an instant's hesitation. Miss Hepzibah set- tled back in her rocking chair. If actions speak louder than words her actions certainly said, There, now. that's the truth, the whole truth, and n thing but the truth. and looked at her aide-de-camp, the hard-featured Eliza (irimmons for corroboration. Miss Elizi. feeling it incumbent on her t«r speak, gazed at her hearers with a self-impor- tant air. and after loudly clearing her throat, said, Well, now, I can’t say as how I've seen more than Hepzibah. because you all know Hep- zibah certainly has powerfully good sight, but I always have my suspicions of a man who walks with Itis head in the clouds, as that man persists in doing. After delivering herself of these sentiments, Eliza settled herself back in her chair, as if she felt her efforts warranted a rest. Mrs. Hartwell, a large florid-looking w. man, raised her head with great apparent effort from the depths of a large Morris chair, and said. Well, I told Marie, that I always suspected these tall dark men with distinguished airs, and— But, mother,” put in Marie, breathlessly, “lie dresses so stylishly, and he looks like a perfect Gentleman, and lie’s got such beautiful hair, and Louise Hunt said—” Xow, Marie. said her mother, hotly, I’ll have no more of this nonsense. Why, why— it's—an outrage—” The insulted Mrs. Hartwell’s speech ended in futile gasps, which to those experienced, threat- ened a family argument. As hostess, it was Miss Hepzibah’s duty to in- terfere. and she did so in a masterly fashion. Turning to Mrs. Ryan, who sat at her right, she questioned: Well, Mrs. Ryan, what do you think of this person under discussion?” Mrs. Ryan was one of these small thin, but extremely healthy women, with a stilted ele- gant way of speaking. Owing to her delicate appearance, she had almost come to believe herself a very sick woman. Consequently she was continuallv nursing some fancied grievance or another. She had one ruling passion, if one may be allowed to call it such, and that was a love of gossip. Mrs. Ryan’s husband was a man of ample porportions. who allowed himself to be shamefully henpecked bv his tiny wife. My idea of this person, as you so aptly de- scribe him. dear Hepzibah. is almost the same as your’s, but I would go a little farther, it seems to me it is dangerous to have such a suspicious- appearing person about. How do we know he SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 94 is not a thief or a murderer watching for a chance to murder us in our beds and when we were laying dead, and that awful murderer was stealing ; in the grip of her own gruesome ideas. Mrs. Ryan was running all her thoughts together, like the little boy who put in his punc- tuation marks in a long row at the end, so that the teacher might fit them in where they be- longed. i lie meeting broke up with a warning from 1 lepzibah of. Well, ladies, let us all keep our eyes open and see what we can discover.' Seemingly all unconscious of the fact that lie was the object of so many people's closest at- tention. the mysterious man continued his cheer- ful habits. After a week of rainy weather, in which the “mystery disappeared every morning, a sec- ond meeting of the Sewing (?) Circle was called. Miss Hepzibah then delivered her ulti- matum. It was as follows: This cannot go on; some-body must follow him the next rainy morn- ing. and c ntinue following him every morning until they discover his secret. 1 am convinced that he disappears for no good purpose. Of course this will take a good deal of lime, but it is for the safety of our town. Which one of my sisters will volunteer?” There was a notable lack of en- thusiastic response, for instead of begging to be taken along on the expedition, every lady en- deavored to explain to her neighbor why she for one. c uld not go. From Eliza Grimmons came the following: “Well. I surely should like to go. but with the preserving coming, you know, and I have promised to go and help my sister Jane, who is asking for me.” 'flic advance guard” glared at her former- ally and turned hopefully toward Mrs. Hart- well. who was reclining as usual in the largest arm chair in the room. Surely. Mrs. Hartwell would be eager for the honor. That lady with an appealing look at her daughter. stammered. You—er—er, know. Marie is going to Boston in a few weeks, and I am—er—sure, you—er—feel with me. and I am really—er—sorry, but I—er—couldn’t spare all the time it would take. True to her habit of breaking in on her pa- rent’s conversation. Marie, said pleasantly, dis- pite her mother’s angry gestures. Oh. mother, don’t let me stop you. You know you said Cousin Sally would do it all for me. so that you needn’t bother. Now, Marie.” said her mother, with another glare which even the dreamy Marie could not fail to perceive. Do you think that 1 would let a child of mine go away from me without my help?” It seemed as if Mrs. Hartwell was about to wax tearful, but recognizing the signs, Miss Hepzibah said resignedly:— Well, that disposes of nearly all of us. Eliza, Mary Hartwell, and don’t you really think Marie is too young? Oh. mother. almost screamed the romantic Marie, couldn’t I go. Really I’ll promise to find out all about him. and for no reason at all, as far as the ladies could judge, Marie went into peals and peals of laughter. But in spite of entreaties from Marie. Mrs. Hartwell remained firm in denial, recollecting her daughter’s propensity for the much discussed gentleman’s hair. Now all eyes turned towards Mrs. Ryan ex- pectantly. Surely one who could rule a husband in such an arbitrary way. could not lack cour- ?ge. Mrs. Ryan had an expression on her face which said as plain as words 1 am not long for this world. Turning this pathetic counte- nance towards her neighbors, she said, “Oh, really, dear friends, you known of my wretche 1 health. I fear it is. for me, a physical impos- sibility. But Eliza Grimmons was heard sav- ing in her high excited voice. “Well. Hepzibah, as you seemed so set on it. why don’t you do it yourself?” To tell the plain truth. Hepzibah had counted on at least one of her friends accepting the trust, and had not thought for an instant that she would be called upon to carry out her own suggestions. Seeing, however, that the wilv Eliza had left her no redress, and in order to retain the good opinions of her neighbors, al- though with a very bad grace, she said. Well, ladies, as none of you seem to care much for the s fety of your homes. I suppose hat 1 must be the one to take my life in my hands. But, ladies, to show you that 1 value the safety of my neighbors more than my own safety, 1 will accept the trust.” Five o’clock the next morning there was a terrible rain storm, and Miss Hepzibah. watch- ing from her bedroom window, saw her neighbor disappear around the corner in lisreputablc clothes. Her duty stared her plainly in the lace, but although she was the fear and terror of all the boys in the neighborhood. Miss Hep- zibah. was at heart, an arrant coward. Not one second did she waver towards duty, but yielding to inclination went back to bed and slept for over two hours. When Miss Eliza Grimmons stepped in to re- ceive news of the Chief Reporter’s discoveries, she found that estimable lady in a decidedly snappish frame of mind. But Eliza, nothing daunted, asked point-blank: “Well. Hepzibah. and what did you find out about our mysterious man?” SOMERVILLE HIGH 'I lie only answer she received for her pains, however, was, Our mysterious nun, indeed, Eliza Grimmons, I should think you would have more to do. at this hour of the morning, than to come over here disturbing me by asking such foolish questions. When I have anything to report, you will know it.” Eliza had reported very soon to the others, with the few extra touches which only she knew how to add. ‘ And mark my words,” she said, more than once that day, Hepzibah Hopkins knows a g � 1 deal more than shewants us i:o guess.” Every rainy morning it grew easier for Hep- zibah to lie in bed, rather than watch the noc- tunal habits of her neighbor. Finally, a third meeting of the Sewing Circle was called, which was in a way, different from the f rmer meetings, in that it was at Eliza Grimmon’s house, and Hepzibah w is not in- vited. The result of this meeting was that the ladies decided that Hepzibah was either stubbornly holding something back from them, or else she could discover nothing, and was ashamed to say so. Xot one of the ladies considered for one sec- ond the possibility that Hepzibah was not do- ing her duty in their behalf, but they all agreed that she had treated them shamefully in not confiding her discoveries. This attitude became apparent to Hepzibah in a cessation of their visits, and the stern Hep- zibah. inclined to be angry at first, at last grew very lonely, and exceedingly anxious to regain the respect of her allies. She firmly believed that her former friends refused to recognize her because she was such a coward. Another result of the meeting was that Marie prevailed upon her mother to allow her to play detective on the next rainy morning, and find out what she could about that mysterious man.” Two days after the meeting came another rainy day. Miss Hepzibah looking out of her window, decided that the attitute of her friends was no longer endurable. This morning she would put her courage to the test. After deciding this moment us ques- tion Miss Hepzibah dressed herself quickly, and reached the corner just in time to see the mys- tery disappear ;it the end of the street. In the big Hartwell house on the corner Marie was dressing herself quickly. She seemed t be having some difficulty in control- ing a desire to burst out laughing, and from time to time had to discontinue dressing in or- der to put her hands over her mouth. Miss Hepzibah coming quickly around the cor- ner after the hurrying form of her neighbor lost all trace of him. There were two roads that he SCHOOL RADIATOR 95 might have followed and thinking it most prob- able for him to have taken the right hand road ‘ the advanced scout” lost ten precious minutes before she realized that the other road must have been his choice. The other road led to the river and Miss Hepzibah became convinced that here at last she would run her prey to earth. The river was screened from the public view by a dense thicket of undergrowth and as the chief reporter advanced cautiously she was greatly started to hear the voice of Marie speak- ing excitedly. Moving a little nearer the amazed Hepzibah saw ‘‘that adventurer with his arm around Marie, and worse shock of all, the latter seemed to be enjoying it. ‘ And only think, Jack, dear, Marie's happy voice was saying. Of all the fun we’ve been having. Don’t you think that was a great idea of mine to think of giving till the fish you caught in the morning to those little Atkins boys? 1 kept pretending to mother, that I liked that homely, red-haired delivery-boy. because I was afraid I should miss all the fun of the meetings. Once, Jack. I couldn’t help it but I burst right out laughing at the meeting when I thought of you and me fishing quietly here in the mornings, when I am supposed to be still asleep.” Miss Hepzibah could obtain herself no longer, and stepping cut of the bushes, she planted her- self in front of the startled pair and cried, Marie Hartwell, what are you doing in that man’s arms? Gently disengaging himself, the young man, with a frank smile on his face turned to Hepzibah and said, Well, Miss Hopkins, I don’t blame yon for mistrusting me. but this little girl here per- sisted that her mother and her mother's friends needed a lesson in order to teach them to re- frain from gossiping. Miss Hopkins Marie has done me the honor to promise to be my wife, with the free consent of her father, who has been in the secret from the beginning. You are probably wondering by now who your mysterious man is.” and on the card lie passed her the bewildered advance scout read — Herbert Hunt.” Why, said Miss Hepzibah. to her crony. Miss Eliza Grimmons, a little later in the same day. “You could have knocked me down with a feather, when I saw on that card he handed me the name of the man who has written all those wonderful books on nature. He told me that he was piling up data for a new book called ‘Hints for Anglers.’ And. said she in conclusion. When we left that place, for once in my life. I was not, ‘The advance scout.' as those boys call me. but the rear guard. o6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Hbc minister's t'Qit'c OlaC Y !3 ID. jfietcber, 1916-H [This story was not solicited for the contest] R. DAYTOX and his pretty young wife had been married only a year, when the former received a letter from a brother clergyman to visit bis parish and preach there Sunday morning. Mrs. Dayton, who ac- companied her husband upon his journey, was lelighled with the village and expressed herself lcsirous of living there if possible. In the evening when Mr. Dayton and the clergyman were conversing together, the latter ask him if he thought he would like to remain at the village and preach. I have been thinking for Siimc time of retiring, and giving my [dace to a younger man, ' he said, but not until now, have 1 found any one that I thought was suited for the people here. It seems to me, he fin- ished, that you. Mr. Dayton, would be the right man in the right place.” Having become acquainted with many of the people whom he liked very much and remem- bering how delighted his wife had been when they had reach the village that morning. Mr. Dayton told the clergyman that he would be pleased to take the position. The next day. Mrs. Dayton learning that they were to remain at the village, and that her hus- band was to preach there, was overjoyed with the prospect. She soon became friends with the ladies of the village, as she was a dear little woman with a sweet lovable disposition. Mr. Dayton, also quickly made friends with his peo- ple. and everything seemed to be going well, until something happened which upset every- thing, and caused the minister some unhappi- ness. Mrs. Dayton, although such a dear little woman, had one great fault, that she had never as yet been quite able to overcome, and that was—jealousy. Since her marriage she had al- ways been jealous of her young husband, for no reason whatsoever, as he had never as much as wasted a thought on anyone except his pretty young wife. The village people were getting up a play to be given for the benefit of a poor family of the village. They had selected a pretty young lady of tlie village, a Miss Howard, to take the lead- ing part, and now wanted the minister to be her sweetheart in the play, as they thought that no one else had the ability to take the part properly for it required a great deal of time and rehearsing. Mr. Dayton, think- ing of his wife’s jealousy, at first flatly refused to take the part, but unable to give any reason for this refusal, as he would not for the world have told of his wife’s jealous disposition, he was at length, obliged to take part. He decided to say nothing of this to his wife, meanwhile hoping that she would not hear about it from anyone else. The night for holding the first rehearsal of the play came. The minister, about seven o'clock in the evening turning to his wife said, I shall have to leave you alone for about two hours this evening, my dear, as I have some important business to which I must attend.” Oh. I shall be all right here alone. she replied, but be back just as soon as you can. please.” Telling her that he would hurry as much as he could, he started for Mrs. Howard's house where the re- hearsal was to take place. Mrs. Dayton, left alone, took up an interest- ing book and tried to read but it did not seem to hold any interest ior her that evening, as she placed it back on the table. Suddenly she got up from her chair, explaining. “Why. what is the use of my staying here alone all the evening, when I can go over to Mrs. Howard’s and spend an enjoyable evening. Suiting the action to the word, slie hastily donned her wraps, and left for Mrs. Howard’s house. When she reached the house, she looked at the brightly-lighted rooms and said. Why. 1 did not know that she was go- ing to have company this evening, but 1 will go in and see her just the same, now that I am here. Mrs. Howard upon hearing the bell ring, was somewhat surprised, as she wondered who it could possibly be coming to sec her at that time in the evening. When she saw the minister’s wife at the door, she smiled sweetly and they were soon engaged in conversation. Just as Mrs. Howard was helping the minister’s wife to remove her wraps, the minister started his speech for about the seventh time that evening. “Why -dearest Alice—how could you doubt me—or even for one moment think that I could care for anyone in the whole, wide world but you. came from the parlor in the minister’s- voice. Mrs. Dayton stood motionless for a second then suddenly exclaimed. ‘‘Why. the wretch, f (Continued on page 112.)

Mr. Hadley: “Now let’s have the girls and boys and altos.” Puzzle: What sort of biped is an alto? Wise Sophomore (standing beside a Fresh- man): “Do you call yourself a man of sense? You’re next to a fool!” Freshman: “You’re right”—but he didn’t stop to await the effect. First pupil: “You know what a fool I am—” Her friend (absent-mindedly): “Yes.” The result is they don’t speak any more. Here’s Mr. Aeneas again! According to Miss Br-----ncr: “He poured out Targe tears.” For the benefit of Miss M----re, it has been suggested that all blackboard corners be re- moved; otherwise Somerville High School may be sued for damages. Pitman (translating): ”lm janzen Recht.” “I am alright!” Well, we didn’t think he’d acknowledge that was the way he felt! Gems from English IV C:— Teacher: What do you think of Lady Mac- beth’s personal appearance?” C.

Ford: “My dog took first prize at the cat show.” Pitman: “How’s that?” Ford: “He took the cat.” From the barn yard came the maid With milk pail in her hand: The fresh young boarder from New York Beside her took his stand; “How is the milk-maid?” queried he.

Teacher: “Dunham, write the fifth.” Dunham: I haven't (done ’em.’’) Pride (after buying the Raihatok): “Hoo- ray, now I have something to read in English next period while they’re debating.” Teacher (to Cole the only one knowing his lesson): “Cole what would I do without you?”- Dunham (looking wise, if such a thing is possible): “Call on me.” Davison in Physiology: “Do we get credit for words that we don’t spell right?” Teacher: “Well hardly, Davison.” What would Division C do without Miss W—Ik—r, the only source of manners in the class? Miss Strom in Elocution: “The young man followed himself.” What do you mean, Marion ? Why doesn’t Room 209 get busy and pass in more notes? Echoes from 200. period 3.

Has Eksergian resolved not to wear noisy neckties? He claims that his are the only cravats in the whole class, but if they are we should be thankful that we wear neckties. Out of the deep silence that prevailed in bookkeeping could be heard a faint noise like that of a canary bird. The teacher investi- gating found Gardiner fast asleep. Someone in the next aisle tried to wake him by shaking him. Gardiner half awake said: “Let me on at Cedar street.” Abbott again heard from in Penmanship:— John: “My writing fluid is coagulated.” Teacher: “What do you think is the cause?” John: “I think it is due to the presence of fibrin.” 1916-B Class Editor, Arnold H.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of parents was held Friday evening. January 8, at the High School Hall, to consider the advisability of forming a parents’ association. This meet- ing was called at the request of an organiza- tion committee consisting of Mrs. George Brewer. Mrs. A. C. Aldrich, Mrs. F. G. Smith, Mrs. Sumner Watson, Mrs. F. A. P. Fiske, and Mrs. Avery. The meeting was called to order by Head- master Avery, who gave a short review of the recent history and changes of the High School, and presented many reasons why a parents’ association would be a great assistance not only to the school itself, but also to the homes and the city. Mrs. Irving, secretary of the Boston School and Home Association, fol- lowed with interesting and vital facts from her personal experience in this work. The busi- ness of the evening was then taken up. It was unanimously voted to organize, to adopt a constitution, and to elect officers. Previous to the meeting the High School Orchestra played in a very pleasing and artis- tic manner. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows :— Report of Nominating Committee, Somerville, Mass., January 8. 1915. The Nominating Committee respectfully submits to the High School Parents’ Associa- tion the following report: — For President. John A. Avery. For Vice-Presidents. Mayor Z. E. Cliff, Mrs. F. (I.

The Association then had the pleasure of listening to a very inspiring and earnest ad- dress by Dr. Franklin P� . Dyer. Superintendent of the Schools of Boston, who is an enthusias- tic believer in the hearty cooperation of school .and home. Our own superintendent, Mr. Clark, was the last speaker of the evening. He said that pro- gressive and earnest school systems and parents’ associations were working hand in hand throughout the country, lie wished the association great success in its effort to reach and help the homes and the pupils. The meeting closed with a feeling on the part of all that a “good thing” had been ■started. ---------------------------- liMtsicale On Monday morning, January 11. a musicale was given in the auditorium of the Somerville High School, for the three upper classes of the school. Two of the participants, Mrs. Irene Osbourne-Grant and Ralph Smalley, were graduates of the school. Mrs. Osbourne- Grant. a well-known organist and pianist, played Brahm’s “Capricio.” Mr. Smalley, a former ’cellist, of the Symphony Orchestra, played the finale of Grieg’s Sonata in A minor, with Mrs. Osbourne-Grant accompanying. The selection, a beautiful one, beautifully rendered, delighted the audience. Mr. Smalley disap- pointed the pupils in playing but one en- core. although they recalled him many times by their hearty applause. Mrs. Burnham sang one of the new Indian songs, The Land of the Sky-Blue Water.” Her encores, “The Just-So Songs” especially pleased the pupils. Headmaster Avery sang a stirring Spanish song, and for an encore, an East Indian song. This number on the programme was a delight- ful surprise to those pupils who were unac- quainted with their headmaster’s unusual mu- musical talent. Recorded by Margaret Hanlon, T5-B. -------------------------- TRcaMno Club The second meeting of the Reading Club was held Tuesday. December 22. during the last period in Room 113. The guests of the occasion were Mrs. Tuttle and Miss Williams. Howard Allen was chairman. Mrs. Topliff was ill at the time, and was unable to be pres- ent. but the meeting was carried on with much enthusiasm. Poems were recited, and bio- graphs of certain noted men and women, and sketches of travel and other lands were told. An enjoyable hour was spent and surely the class is getting a great deal of benefit as well as enjoyment from it. ' ------------------------ SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR.

For such good stories it was very hard to select the best and if more than one could be considered best, it would be with pleasure that we offer all first prizes to every participant in the con- test. The first, second and third prize stories you will find published in this number, and the next best shall follow in continuing is- sues. 9t . . The gong has struck. On the field oi ice is Newton, Arlington, Cambridge, Medford, Melrose and Somerville. The game is on. First one individ- ual looms above the rest, then he is driven back by the onrush of the other pennant pursuers. Somerville is looming up, and yes, she is playing steady. Have faith all! The last minute to play is far off. Somerville has many chances yet to shoot the puck. She has the material and the chances for the pen- nant. Steady, players, the school is with you; ready, school, the players are for you. Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! •� r, v During the coming season it is the hope of the editorial staff to attribute to every column of the paper, a new cut. Every one on the staff holding these different depart- ments is anxious for new things but, it must thoroughly be understood, that these cuts are very expensive. Every one wants an extra- ordinary and an original school paper, but it cannot be so unless it is patronized more readily by the members of the school. Last month only eight hundred copies were sold to a school of two thousand. Next month may the staff be forced to order fifteen hundred copies from the printers. Nineteen Hundred Fifteen! To some of us that year is full of meaning. Four years.—maybe for thirteen years—have the Seniors looked forward to this year. We have completed our work in primary and grammar schools. Now is our chance to complete our work in high school. We en- tered as classmates in nineteen hundred and eleven, and surely let us not only leave as classmates, but also may we honorably grad- uate from this school as true comrades and friends and in appreciation of the fact that we have borne the same burdens in these four years. May the new year help us to realize that, wherever we may turn, the spirit of friendship exists eternally between our teach- ers, helpers, classmates and friends. r r r. r Best wishes to Nineteen Fifteen A, Class t The school has now realized that you arc to- leave us. You have been faithful with the whole school and other classes. You have of- fered extraordinary athletes. You have aided the school socially, and now may you de- part successfully.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 109 EXCHANGE I NOTES 1 First. Erasmian. welcome to you. A new exchange, and a good one. too. Lasell Leaves we'll praise no more Tho' it's just as worthy as 'twas before. The November number of the Portland Rac- quet. Is the best edition they've sent us yet. Ihe Westfield Herald would be improved If its table of contents were not removed. The Nobleman shows a very capable staff. And for nearly each page has a good photo- graph. The fine Fitchburg paper. The Red and Gray. Has the best jokes written for many a day. The Grotonian from Groton, is as fine as ever Containing column cuts, original and clever. School spirit in the Tripod is very fine. It’s a well arranged paper in every line. It would be better for the K. 11. S. Enter- prise To become a paper of larger size. To the Gloucester Reflector there’d be much more sense If they only would add a list of contents. The Megaphone for the month of November. Is a paper we’re bound and sure to remember. 'Fhe Brighton Imp is far from slow We only wish the book might grow. The Meridan Pennant's an exchange very fine But why don’t they get a cover design? The Sassamon tells well of interesting events, But. alas! it forgets its Table of Contents. The Magpie’s so good, it docs seem strange That it should lack the column exchange. Of the Dedham High Wireless, the first edi- tion To our exchange list—welcome admission! St. Stephen’s School paper, the Red and Blue, Is an exchange worth reading through and through. For the Brattleboro Dial we think it would be wise To enlarge its exchange column, and to criti- cize. The Melrose School Life is very neat. But an original poem would be a great treat. The alumni column of the Magnet seems bare And can’t begin with the exchange to com- pare. For a paper as good as the Dinosaur. The cuts are poor. Can’t you get some more? The cartoons of the Artisan arc certainly funny And help to make the paper worth the money. To the Reviews which are many, but never the same I make one suggestion—Get a new name! The Everett High Clarion will remain incom- plete Till it adds columns, exchange and athlete. The Malden Oracle will be better, indeed When it gets the new cover of which it’s in need. The Pomposetticut has a dreadfully hard name But it's a neat little paper just the same. The Cushing Breeze hasn’t a single smile, It can’t consider laughing worth while. 'fhe Golden Rod from Quincy High Lacks column cuts. I wonder why! The Berkshire Dome has a irood reputation. And assuredly is a fine publication. The Blue Owl from Attleboro is worthy of fame. And its original cuts suit its original name. I Continued on page 112] I IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7YOTEJS OF THE ALVAVNI CAMPBELL-OS 1914. Elizabeth Sargent, S. II.

January 1. Somer- ville was shooting the puck at Cushman, get- ting ready to start the game with Melrose. The first period was a lively one. many sen- sational dashes being made by Downing and Clark. Downing certainly would have scored, had not the whole Melrose team played for him. Somerville’s three-man defense was a wonderful means of keeping the last year’s champion from making any score. Most of the play was in the Somerville territory and Cushman did great work at the cage. Melrose came through in the second period with two goals, one made on a long carry by Nowell, and the other by Paisley on a pass from Nowell. These two men showed up most for Melrose. Ciark and Downing made sev- eral ineffectual dashes although at one time Downing, unassisted, came through the whole Melrose team and came very near shooting a goal. Period closed with the puck in Somer- ville’s territory. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. ' MELROSE. Shea. l.w... ..................r.w.. Scruton Clark, c...........................c.. Paisley Wilson.

There is absolutely no reason why Somerville should not be as vic- torious in this as well as her other athletics, more so. in fact, because the running game can be divided into three different divisions, a Senior division including all boys above eigh- teen years of age and five feet, five inches in height: an intermediate division of boys be- tween sixteen and eighteen years of age and five feet, one inch, and five feet five inches; and a junior division below that. Lighter and easier events would be provided for these latter divisions that would be much more suitable, and at the same time would be developing the large numbers of the youth of our school for future teams. There is a larger number of active partici- pants in track than in any other of our sports, for three and sometimes four places count in each event. W ith eight events that would find twenty-five to thirty men needed, anyway, and that would be in only one of the three divis- ions. Tufts College has very graciously allowed the use of their gymnasium this winter, and practice started in earnest on January 8. Since it is our first season we shouldn’t be discouraged if we don’t win every meet, nevertheless, the other schools will find we are not so weak as a first-year team generally is. and they will have a hard time to defeat us. From last year’s team we have William Murphy and Raymond Woodman in the dashes; Ross Shepardson. John Murphy and Bernard Chapin in the field events, and our cross-country team. George French. Cap- tain Hall Carpenter. David Lanigan. Charles Deacon. Harrison Douglas and Harold Brinig, for the distant and middle distant events. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I 12 Few people realize the great honor that be- longs to George French. Last fall when he beat out a field of sixty-seven boys, who were the pick of all the High Schools of New Eng- land. certainly was no mean task, and espe- cially when most of his competitors had coach- ing of the best. Owing to the lateness of the starting of the indoor season, Manager William Murphy has found it very difficult to arrange a suitable schedule. But to date it is: February 5, Cam- bridge High and Latin at Cambridge gymna- sium; February 12. Boston College High at their gymnasium; February 19. pending with Newburvport High at Newburyport, and Feb- ruary 27. the B. A. A. Schoolboy games at Mechanics Building. This last meet is the most important for to win there one has to defeat contestants from the private schools as well as High Schools. Everybody is given the opportunity to at- tend the meets and there should be a loyal crowd go with the team to help bring fame to Somerville in her new sport. the flbinisrer’s XUitc (Continued from page IN!.} know that must be my husband talking, I would know his voice anywhere, and—and—we have only been married a—year—and now—” but she finished in tears.

HENRY HADLEY SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 123 Ihi fllbemoriam Lor the second time within a year Death lias taken from ns a member of the High School Faculty. Mr. S. Henry Hadley, a member of the first class in the Somerville High School to receive diplomas, in 1802, and for forty-six years its matchless teacher of singing, died on February 2. Mr. Hadley’s work as a teacher is appreciated by hundreds of alumni the world over as well as by the present faculty and student body: The success with which the most ordinary group of singers, the average High School chorus, under Mr. Hadley’s skilful training would develop ap- preciation of the best music and finally attempt the most difficult classical composition with dis- tinguished success, has long been in Somer- ville and among the wider circie of Mr. Hadley’s musical acquaintance, an oft repeated talc of triumph. Mr. Hadley was, essentially, a friend to all with whom lie was associated: To the students from the moment when the homesick freshman hailed with delight “the man who taught us music in the Grammar School'' till on Gradua- tion evening as the last notes of the class hymn died away, Mr. Hadley’s baton waved a parting benediction over the seniors, lie was the friend of all. Alike t« the teachers Mr. Hadley was ever a friend and helper, generous in impulse, and loyal in deed. His was a kindly heart, a courteous manner, and a spirit of unselfishness beyond that of most men. No pressure of duties prevented his cordial greetings as he came and went through the cor- ridors. or made him forget the gracious welcome to instructor or visitor who came in for the music hour. No special exercise of the school but had his hearty sympathy and help in ar- ranging music for it. The walls of the High School are beautified by pictures and busts, the expenditures of hundreds of dollars the result of oratorios given by the school under Mr. Hadley's direction. Unsparing of himself, his was a service of absolute devotion. The years touched Mr. Hadley lightly. No diminution of his zeal or enthusiasm was ap- parent. Already he had perfected plans for the school to give the opera Aida the coming spring. In the midst of this love of life and joy of ser- vice, the dread messenger laid his hand upon him: lie stepped aside to return not again. Rut till the last of the many thousands, whom Mr. Hadley had taught, is gone, his memory will be till a living inspiration in Somerville. 124 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'Ibis Brother's Mill B ? tlarrv? X. Doore, PART I. Jonathan and Reuben were the only sons of Farmer Hicks, a farmer of Booneville. Jona- than had great ambitions to become a prosper- ous business man. and to live in a large city, while Reuben was content to live an easy, com- fortable life on a farm. Farmer Hicks, who was only fairly prosperous, wanted them both to work on the farm, but Jonathan could not be kept down, so when he became eighteen years of age he ran away to the city. Shortly afterwards his father and mother died, and Reuben married and moved to Rock- ville. a small village about nineteen miles away. It was thirty-two years since these brothers had heard from each other, and these years had changed Jonathan, who had accumulated a large amount of money, became more or less of a miser, but Reuben, with funds greatly reduced, was still enjoying his easy, comfortable life on his farm. “Yes. said Reuben, as he sat with his family in their living-room after supper, “It was thirty-two years ago this very night that Jona- than left home and in all these years not one word have I heard from him. I wonder if he is still alive? Our ambitions in life were as different as they could possibly be. He was for going to the city and making a name for himself, but said I. ‘Me for the open life in the country, with its peace and quietness, the smell of new mown hay. and the woods, the clear, fresh air. the cattle and the farm life.’ The day before he left we had a long talk to- gether behind the old barn and he told me he would be very sorry to be separated from me, and lie would never forget me as long as he lived, because we were such friendly brothers. I thought at the time it was an odd way for him to speak to me. but when we found the next day that he had gone. I realized that he had really been saying good-bye to me. Then T—hello! what’s that—didn’t I hear some one close the gate? “I guess it was just the wind. Reuben. re- plied Mrs. Hicks, “please go on with the story. “Papa. called out little Lucy, “there is somebody at the front door.” “All right.” answered Reuben, as he walked over and opened the door. “Good evening, farmer. said a small boy without, as he handed him an envelope. “This letter was addressed to you at Booneville, but nobody there seemed to remember you and as they were discussing what to do with the letter Old John Ilopkinson dropped in on his way home from the Grange meeting, and said he knew you, and would give you the letter, so I have brought it here for him,” and without waiting for a reply the boy disappeared into the darkness. “Well, remarked Reuben, as he returned to his roomy chair by the fireplace, “I hope this letter isn’t any bad news. It looks like a lawyer’s letter, but thank goodness I don’t owe anybody a red cent.” He opened the letter and read it through without a word and after lie had reread it, it dropped from his hand to the floor, and he sat motionless, staring into space. “What is the matter. Reuben?” inquired Mrs. Hicks anxiously. “Has anything bad hap- pened? Please tell me quickly. 1 can not wait any longer.” At last he awoke from his thoughts • and said, “Read it yourself, dear.” Instantly she picked it up and read it aloud, and this is what she read:— 14 Medford St.. Worcester. N. H. October 3. 1911. “Mr. Reuben Hicks: “Dear Sir: In behalf of my late client. Mr. Jonathan Hicks, the wealthy shoe manufac- turer. I am writing to you concerning his will, death, and circumstances. “Mr. Hicks died on Wednesday last from heart failure. His only living relatives were you and his eighteen-year-old son, Reuben. “In his last will it was stated that if you were alive the estate was to be placed in your care, and you were to be his son's guardian until he becomes of age. and when he becomes twenty-one, you are to divide the estate with him. In case you are not living, all the money was to go to him and I was appointed his guardian. “If I do not hear from you before five o’clock November 3. I shall go on with the will as designated by Mr. Hicks. “Respectfully yours, “James Maxwell.” 'flic silence that followed was broken by SOMERVILLE HIGH Reuben, who said, “Now what do you think about that?” “Thank the Lord,” replied Mrs. Hicks reverently. it looks as if .our days of pinch- ing:. saving, and going without any luxuries are about over.” “Let me see that letter a minute,” requested Mr. Hicks, and as he looked at it he gave a low whistle of surprise and remarked, “This letter has been three weeks in getting to me. If it had been one week more I would never have received the money. November third is a week from yesterday. I must leave for the city in the morning.” PART II. Jonathan Hicks by hard work had quickly worked his way into prominence among busi- ness men. and although he started at the bottom of the shoe business, he reached the top in about fifteen years. He married a lady of high standing, whom he thought the world of. A son was born to them who was named Reuben after his brother. When his beloved wife died he was heart broken and preferred to live alone and drop all society. Then it was that he began to love his money, and finally changed so that many people spoke of him as “Miser Hicks.” To his son alone he was generous, and to him he gave all the money he wanted and al- lowed him to do as he pleased, so that at the age of eighteen we find him a young man of exceedingly bad habits. He drank and smoked excessively, and had a disagreeable air and swagger. He was liked only by some “cronies” of his who went with him for what they could get out of him. He had a fine build and if lie took care of himself, promised to make a fine man. but unless something unexpected hap- pened very soon, he would never be able to re- cover himself from his bad habits. This was his condition at his father’s death. When he heard of his father’s will, he immedi- ately made plans by which lie would not re- ceive half the estate, but the whole of it, even if his uncle was alive. After he had seen the lawyer’s letter to his uncle he decided to make sure that his uncle, if alive, would not see Lawyer Maxwell before November third. He telephoned for Jim Blake, a notorious criminal, and “Slick Tom” Jones, a flashily dressed young man, whose chief business was a pickpocket. When they had arrived at his home and talked for a long time about the work, pay and other details, young Reuben summed up SCHOOL RADIATOR 125 the job in this manner: “There are only three trains a day that arrive here from Booncville. Now I want you both to meet me in the rooms 1 have rented opposite the station entrance fif- teen minutes before each train is due every day. When we see who 1 think is my uncle, Tom will go down and talk with him and make certain if it is my uncle, and then lead him down that dark back street, where Jim will be ready in a dark doorway with a sandbag. I will follow Tom and my beloved uncle at a dis- tance. After this assault, which will probably prove fatal, you both come to my home and we will settle up. Do you both understand? Well, we start tomorrow and do not forget. ’ After they had gone he chuckled and said, 1 guess that will be a good reception for Uncle Reuben if he is alive.” PART III. As Parmer I licks emerged from the entrance of the station and looked around, the first thing he noticed was three men looking out of a second-story window across the street. Why he noticed these especially was because one of them, who was well dressed, and looked as if he was intoxicated, was pointing at him with an unsteady finger and giving orders to the other two men near him. who, at his command, quickly disappeared. But before they disap- peared he noticed the difference in the clothing of the three men. One was dressed very flashily, another looked like a tramp, while the third was dressed in the height of fashion. As he stood there deciding on which way to go. a flashily dressed young man whom he in- stantly recognized as the one who was in the window across the street a few minutes before, rushed up to him and asked him if he was a stranger and where he wanted to go. Parmer Hicks replied. I have just arrived from out of town on business, and am a stranger here. Could you tell me how I can get to Medford Street?” “Why.” answered the young man, “to tell you the truth, I was just going there myself, and if you care to. I would like to have you go along with me.” Parmer Hicks thought he had never seen such a talkative young man. and he did not ex- actly like his actions, but he decided to go with him. So down the street they went, crossed streets, through alleys, until finally, as they were going down a dark street, he felt a sharp blow on his head, and knew no more. 9 26 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR When he again regained consciousness, he found himself in bed. He supposed he was at home, but as lie looked about him he saw that he was in a hospital. He then inquired of a nurse near him how long it would be necessary for him to stay in bed in the hospital, and was toid he would have to remain there three days anyway, and probably longer. She also said that he had re- ceived a very hard blow on the head, probably caused by a sandbag. At this he began to recall to his mind the last events he could remember. He remem- bered the will, the time, in which he had to see the lawyer, the men in the window, the talkative young man. the dark street, but alter that he remembered nothing. He sat upright in bed. but quickly fell back on the bed because of the intense pain in his head, and asked excitedly. “What, will be the date three days from to-day?” The nurse was not sure and while she went to find out he was nearly overcome with anxiety. What if the third had already passed? Would he be able to leave on the third? What would his'wife and family say if he told them he was too late? These questions and many more came to his mind and not from one of them did he get any satisfaction. “Great Scott.” lie cried out in his excitement. “I must be there on time.” At this forceful remark the nurse came run- ning to him, and said. “That day will be No- vember third, but if you do not remain quietly in bed you will not be able to leave for a week.” At this he quieted down, and kept quiet until the third day. On this day he said to the physician. “Doctor, it is most necessary that I leave this hospital at four o’clock this after- noon. Business of the greatest importance •calls me and I must go.” “Well.” answered the physician. “Your head lias improved rapidly from one of the worst blows I ever knew of. still. I shall not give you permission to go Jf you go. it is at vour own risk.” He decided to take the chance, and later the nurse sent for a taxi for him. To pay for this nearly exhausted his funds. At fou� : o’clock, with the assistance of a nurse who went with him. he entered the auto, and started for Lawyer Maxwell’s office. Young Reuben, feeling safe in the belief that liis uncle had been put out of the way. stepped into Lawyer Maxwell’s office at quarter after four, three quarters of an hour before closing time. “Well, it looks like that old hayseed of an uncle of mine was dead, doesn’t it?” lie re- marked. “It certainly does,” returned the lawyer soberly. He was entirely disgusted at this young man’s actions and was wishing, without much chance of his wish being granted, that his uncle would come and surprise him. “You do not seem very interested about it. replied Young Reuben, sarcastically, ‘Only forty minutes more, and the money is mine. Say. can’t we complete the business now? I’ve got an engagement for to-night and I want to get home early.” “No sir, answered the lawyer firmly, “noth- ing will be done until five o’clock.” “Oh. please yourself,” returned Reuben im- pudently. “but I don’t see that a half hour will make much difference to you, and you are making yourself very disagreeable.” At twenty minutes of five his uncle, with his head nearly covered with bandages, opened the door and stepped into the room. Reuben turned white, his face twitched nervously, and he hurriedly looked for some way of escape, but as he saw none he was forced to sit still. Mr. Reuben Hicks introduced himself to Lawyer Maxwell and a few minutes later was introduced to his nephew. He instantly recog- nized him as the man he had seen in the window across from the station entrance, but tried Ins best not to show that he remembered him. After a few minutes conversation Lawyer Maxwell excused young Reuben and told him to come to his office at half past ten the next day. Then the two men sat down and talked the whole matter over. As Reuben left the office he thought he would not go back the next day. but after a restless night he decided it wouid not do any harm: so at eleven o’clock he slowly entered the office and found the two men waiting for him. “You are late,” said the lawyer, and when he received no reply, he continued. “Mr. Hicks and I have completed our business, and I asked you to come here to allow your uncle to talk with you.” Still young Reuben said nothing and Mr. Hicks began. “I think I saw you before my ac- cident. and maybe von had something to do with it. but I am willing to let by-gones be by- I2r SOMERVILLE HIGH goncs. The only change I am to make which affects you. is where you are to live. I have decided for several reasons, one of which is your habits, to close up this house in the city and to take you home with me to Rockville.” “Not much you are.” interrupted Reuben heatedly, “You may be my guardian, but I will never live with you. 1 will live just where 1 please and no one will prevent me.” “Now look here, Reuben,” replied Mr. Micks, “Don’t get excited, for it will not do you any good. The law says you are of age to live where you want to. but as I am your guardian I say that unless you live with me, I will not give you one cent of allowance until you arc twenty-one. and in the meantime you will have to scratch for yourself.” Then he sat back in his chair and watched the effect of this remark on Reuben. ------------4 SCHOOL RADIATOR At lirst he had the same spiteful look in his eyes, but gradually, as he thought it over, he saw that his uncle was his master and he said, 'T guess you have me all right, but if there is any possible way out of it, I wiil never live with you.” “Reuben, I sec how you look at it. but 1 do not like your habits and companions, and 1 think this is all for your good. Some day you will thank me for this, but now you are en- tirely against both, the plan and myself. 1 will take you out there and make a man out of you.” And lie was right, for when Reuben be- came twenty-one the farm work, country air. and the distance from his temptations had made him into a line man. and to-day he spends every summer with his uncle, whom he con- siders his best friend. H Camofire IRing 36v? iDU refc O. ipestill, 18 06 Betty Sanford settled herself comfortably in the seat of an electric car which was rapidly becoming crowded. A girl about her own age entered, and sat down beside her. She looked both shabby and sad. Though the weather was cold, she wore no gloves, and Betty’s at- tention was attracted by a ring which the girl wore. It was a campfire ring; and Betty, her- self. was a loyal member of a campfire in the city in which she lived. Even now she was on her way to a meeting at the home of her guardian, who was a young lady who loved and understood her girls. As Betty watched the girl beside her she saw two tears creep out, and turning to the girl she said in her low. musical voice: “Is there any- thing I can do for you? I. too. am a campfire girl, so we are sisters.” The strange girl looked at Betty, who noticed for the first time that her eyes were very beautiful. Slowly, as Betty asked a few. skillful questions, the sad story was told, file father had died and they had come to the city that her older brother might find work to support the invalid mother, but just after they had arrived the brother had been taken sick. Now the money was nearly gone and Marguerite was trying to find work. But at this season of the year work was dull and the girl had had little preparation for money earning labor. Her family had been moderately wealthy up to the time of her father’s death and though she could cook a little, she had been trained largely in the fine arts. During their conversation Marguerite men- tioned that her mother had taught her to do a great deal of fine sewing and embroidery. Why! exclaimed Betty, “I believe you are the very person I want to see. The guardian of our campfire has very weak eyes, but she has a great deal of embroidery done for her. The woman who always does it is going back to Scotland and she asked the girls the other night if we knew anyone who would do such work. No one did. She will pay well for it if it is properly done. I know you could do- it. I am on my way to her house now. You must come with me. and if she has not found anyone—and I think she has not—I am sure she will give you the work.” Oh. I hope she will.” Marguerite’s voice al- most trembled in her eagerness. “You don’t know how much this means to me.” When Miss Dorothy heard Betty’s story and saw some of Marguerite’s work she was de- lighted. And when Marguerite was told the price Miss Dorothy would pay for her work, she cried, tears of pure joy, at the thought of the comfort it would bring the loved ones. For some time Marguerite worked each day in Miss Dorothy’s pretty sewing room and several years after that, when she had gradu- ated from normal school and was a successful teacher, she sent a beautiful campfire costume on which was embroidered the various emblems of the campfire, to Betty, who was the guar- dian of a group of girls who loved her as she had loved Miss Dorothy. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 128 Bn tUnberstanbing 36 iE a 3. TOestlanfc, '18 36 '1' one glance you might recognize him t- he the sort of orphaned six- year-old who has lived his short life on the streets, with such an up bringing as “the gang might af- ford. A small, spare child with large lustrous eyes, a mop of curly black hair, and for a baby, a certain imitative toughness, which certainly belongs only to the street urchin. Usually, his spare moments out of school had been spent in “hookin’ grapes” from the corner store, or watching Big Fete “roll de bones.” but to-day. he has a weighty problem on his small mind, so he hurried home to the small garret room which he and Joseph Lewansky, a young bootblack, had shared ever since the truant officer had proved to himself that Lewansky was capable of providing for both. Since the time of his coming to the alley, baby as he was, he had cherished a horror of girls, and women in general, and as he grew older “the gang” had strengthened this horror, warning him especially of the wiles and charms of “p’leece ladies.” But when he had been caught and made to attend kindergarten, he had grown less cautious for his “tcacha.” a young woman who understood children well, had inspired in his lonely heart a love that should have belonged to the dead mother he had never seen. There was nothing Antonio would not have attempted had “teacha” asked him. Now he climbed the long stairs to his garret home and after carefully closing the creaky door, clambered up on an old peach basket and set himself to thinking. “If you likes anybody very well.” he reasoned to himself, “you makes dem de present. I makes tcacha beautiful present.” Surely this was a grand idea, lie thought, and jumping down from his rickety perch, ran across the littered floor and tenderly raised a shoe-box in his arms. Carefully he carried it across the room and laid it down on the basket. Gently he raised the cover, which was decorated with a series of pencil marks, and gazed raptly at the contents of the box— his treasure box. A piece of orange peel, a safety razor blade, two lollipops, once pink, but now black, a torn cigar band, two peanuts and a marble, these comprised his treasures. As carefully as he had taken them out he put them away again, then, turning to another box, drew forth a tiny, three-legged, blind mouse. Which of these gifts would be most pleasing, for he couldn't help feeling that “teacha,” without a single doubt, would be rapturously pleased with any of these treasures. Finally he decided that the shoe-box, with its wonderful collection, should be offered first and then, if by any chance they should fail, “teacha’s” tiny namesake might be offered, for there was no doubt but what “Lizabeth” would be accepted. Anyone might lind a dead mouse and sometimes, joy of joys, with a tail, but a live mouse, words could not describe Antonio’s feelings at the mere idea of Miss I.izabcth’s joy in the possession of the blind mouse. Next morning as Miss Lizabeth. the teacher, ran up the front steps of the kindergarten, she noticed a curly black head descending the back stairs in rather a joggly fashion, this being caused by its owner’s unique way of getting down, one step at a time. She passed on to her room, glad in her heart that the children liked her and were always willing to help. Lovingly she arranged a few flowers and re- moved her coat, smilingly she opened her desk, but the smile died away as she gazed at the heap of rubbish before her. Alas for Antonio’s treasures! They were not appreciated. After emptying them into the waste basket Miss Lizabeth sat down to wonder who might be guilty. Suddenly she remembered the curly head which she was in the habit of associating with Antonio Fcdraske and resolved to investi- gate and if needs be. punish him during the morning session. But the morning session was a busy one. and at noon she hurried home, eager for a short rest before returning to her young charges. In the meantime, Antonio, blankly disappointed, prepared his second and last gift for “teacha.” On returning to school Miss Lizabeth pro- ceeded briskly to her room and opened her desk. Then up on the chair went the little teacher. Scream after scream soon brought the janitor, shuffling to her rescue. After she had calmed down and been assured over and over again by Michael, the janitor, that “The poor little critter was blind as a bat and needed a pair 0’ crutches to git aroun’ on.” she began to wonder what could have prompted her small admirer, for she guessed that Antonio was the cause of her trouble, to send her such a dis- gusting little animal. (Continued on page 137.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 129 For the lirst time in the history of the Somerville High School, a class has been graduated from the school in February. The graduation exercises were carried on in a manner similar to the regular June gradua- tions. The whole affair proved a great suc- cess. especially the class history and class ode. r r r. r At the departure of the February, 1915 class, about three hundred new classmates, fresh from the grammar school, joined the present High School body. Now the whole school consists of approximately twenty-one hundred pupils. Indeed, we arc an institution of which we should be proud. � . r Already, on the fast revolving wheel of time, are the months of spring gradually approach- ing. The third term soon draws nigh. Then marks! Then one more term and the Senior class disperses. Colleges, universities and other institutions will accept us providing we are fit to be received. The pupils of Somerville High School are prepared for any other school, but it isn’t the school directly that prepares. It is ourselves. Our marks warn us of any approaching danger and the only way to take advantage of that warning is to do better. Not merely to say we will do better, but actually burn more midnight oil, gas or electricity. Don’t be one to lower Somerville's standard, but be that pupil who can bestow nothing but “Maxima Cum laude” honors upon the name of Somerville. r r. . When one has conquered his mightiest foe, he has good cause to rejoice. So it is with the S. H. S. Hockey Team. For years, our hockey team has attacked Arlington. For years we have suffered defeat. Rut now may we sin- cerely celebrate the victory over this old-time enemy. That was a wonderful game,—team and all the boys deserve credit of the highest character. r r r Action has been undertaken in the High School to aid the sufferers abroad, and Miss Sprague deserves credit for this move- ment. An important need in the hospitals abroad is a supply of linen with which to bind the wounds of the injured and maimed. This supply is very scarce and pitiful stories have been told by sufferers that because of this scarcity of linen, their injuries could not be dressed for several days. Miss Sprague solicits pieces of old linen from members of her classes and the movement has so broadened, the pupils themselves arc ask- ing for even old handkerchiefs. It is hoped that a quantity worth the sending can be obtained. Please leave all contributions in Room 214. 130 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ' A MAfUON HALL 1915-B Editor, Elmer K.

Editor’s Note: The Radiator, this month, emulates the example of many of its esteemed corn- temporaries. notably the Somerville Journal, and publishes a symposium by representative stu- dents of the school on the hypothetical question. | As told by att office-boy who did with his thousand dollars that which I would like to do with mine.] One thousand dollars! I felt like a million- aire. You see it was this way. My Aunt Maria, whom I can only remember as an old lady who was always saying “don't do this and don't do that,” died and left me one thousand dollars. I en- tered the office of the American Lumber Com- pany with my nose in the air. not condescend- ing to notice, the hateful bookkeeper, who was always bossing me around. 1 would show him that I was not to be trifled with. I would buy a Eord” and sail by him scornfully some day. But just then the bell rang for me, and I hurried into the ofiicc of the president of the firm, all thoughts of the Ford and the book- keeper vanished from my mind. Mr. Roberts, the president, whom I admired very much, glanced up from his work, and said curtly, “Go to 10 Horton street, and find out what is the matter with White. He has been out two weeks now.” White, by the way. was one of the men who drove the teams. Horton street was way down town, and I had plenty of time to think about my riches. Perhaps Mr. Roberts would take me into the firm, when he- learned how wealthy I was. If he should, the first thing I would do would be to fire that bookkeeper who was always threatening to have me fired. Now I was in the lower part of the city where Horton street was situated. The houses were dilapidated and crowded together, while the streets were filled with rubbish. I now was lifted higher and higher, for I was rich and could afford to scorn such things. Since my head was held so high, and my mind was on my wealth. I did not look where I was going. Suddenly a bump and then a crash called me back to earth. The cause of the calamity was a little girl and a bottle of milk. Of course there was nothing else to do but buy her an- other bottle of milk. I sighted as 1 handed the money to the grocer, for now I had only nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and nine- ty-one cents. The only consoling thought was that 1 could still buv my Ford. 1 felt that it was my duty to accompany the little girl to her home, that she might meet with no further disaster. Her home, to my sur- prise. proved to be my destination also, and up- on questioning, I learned that she was Mr. White’s daughter. s we entered the dilapidated house, which about fifteen poverty-stricken families called home, the odors of fifteen different dinners greeted us. Three flights of illy-lighted stairs had to be climbed before we reached the rooms of the Whites. A tired-looking woman with a sick baby in her arms, opened the door. A glance about the room showed plainly that the family was in need. The furniture consisted of a table, four chairs, and a bed. There were no knick-knacks or pictures such as every wo- man loves. Mrs. White explained that her husband liad fallen down the stairs and had broken his leg. The little money which they had had. had gone to pay for the doctor’s bills, medicine and gro- ceries. Her account was repeatedly inter- rupted by that racking cough which means consumption. She said that if they could only get into the country, all would be well: for her husband was a proficient farmer. After having lent her five of my precious dollars. I set out on my way back to the of- fice. As I was crossing one of the main streets, a crowd caught my attention. Has- tening to see what was the matter, I found that an auction of real estate was being con- ducted. First, several business blocks were dis- posed of. Then a small farm of twenty acres was placed for sale. That would be just the place for the Whites. First, a large man, whom I had heard say that he was bound to have that farm, put in a bid for four hundred dollars. Others bid also but he outstripped them all. It seemed as if he was to have the farm for seven hundred and fifty dollars. 11 is triumphant expression disgusted me.

The Roxbury Latin High School Tripod, in its last edition, offered the following criticism. Since the Tripod is a splendid paper which al- ways offers criticisms which show careful con- sideration I think that this article might well be considered by the Radiator class editors and the staff. “Although the large number of students in the school merits a large number of class notes, we think that the Radiator places too- much emphasis on this department, devoting nearly half of its space to class items. If the School Notes department were condensed to,, say one-half of its present space, and the vari- ous class editors would try to excel one another in Quality, rather than Quantity of notes (for a large percentage of the items arc apparently inserted with the sole object of increasing the size of the respective class columns), we think that this department would be in better pro- portion to the rest of the paper than is now the case.—Tripod, Roxbury Latin School.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 137 HOCKEY NOTES Rindge Manual Training School defeated Somerville at the Arena by a score of 3-2. Cap- tain Downing of our team, was the star of the game, while Shea, of Rindge, made some spec- tacular plays. In the first period Kelley shot a 30 foot goal from a difficult angle but had scarcely com- pleted it. when Downing went back through White and Moody and tied the score by shoot- ing just as pretty a one. Neither team scored in the second period, since both Cushman and Burgess made some very clever stops. One five-minute overtime period failed to break the tie. so a second one was played. Shea placed Rindge in the lead by caging a goal from a scrimmage in front of the Somer- ville goal. Then Downing made some little excitement by a brilliant dash down the rink and caging a goal unassisted. Then the game ended by 1 . Kelley shooting a goal for Rindge from a pass from Shea.

Several of these concerts were given in Symphony Hall. Boston. These performances were as follows: Gaul's Holy City. in 13116; Gaul's Joan of Arc. in 1801): Haydn's Creation. in 1903; Haydn's Seasons, in 1906; Mendelssohn's Elijah, in 1910, and Verdi's Requiem, in 1913. When the ( ccilia Society in Boston a few years ago pre- sented The Children's Crusade, B. J. Lang, the director, wishing for a chorus of children, sought Mr. Hadley whose work was much praised. Mr. Hadley had never missed being present to conduct the music at a graduation of the High School until the last class. 1915-A, held its exercises about two weeks ago. Bn Understanding I [Continued from page 1W)_______ As she sat there thinking over her various experiences with Antonio, she was astonished to behold the young gentleman of her thought rise slowly from the large waste basket before her. clutching his rejected treasures in both hands. Before she could recover from her sur- prise the child began to speak rapidly in broken English. “Teacha, my teacha. it makes dat you are like mine angel muver much. Air you—voit will forgive and understand. Oh. I hopes you understand.” Then Miss Lizabcth sinking slowly to her knees by the basket, took little Antonio in her arms, as with tears in her eves, she answered, “Yes, Tony, T think I understand.” If T bad a thousand Dollars, Ulbat would T do with it? (Continued from page 134] self cry, Eight hundred.” All thoughts of my Ford had left me. The large man quickly bid eight hundred and fifty, but I as quickly shouted. “Nine hundred.” I had reached my limit. But my opponent had also. I was now minus m legacy, but the proud owner of a farm of twenty acres. The result is that now 1 have an adopted aunt and uncle, and two cousins, whose last name is White, living on a small farm of twenty acres. The country has done wonders; for they are now a happy, healthy family. If I had another thousand dollars. I would do the same thing again if I could find anybody as nice as the Whites. 133 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR MEMORIAL SERVICE On Friday, February 5, a tlie High School Auditorium in beloved instructor in music, Hadley. The seventy-five instructors of the school sat upon the stage, and more than twenty-two hun- dred pupils filled the hall. No attempt was made to have music, but we sat in silence and in sad- ness until Headmaster Avery addressed us, after which we dispersed quietly to our homes. The remaining exercises of the day were omitted out of respect to the funeral of Mr. Hadley which occurcd at 2 p. m. Mr. Avery said in part:— There are two pictures which typify to my mind Mr. Hadley’s long life of service. One in Symphony Hall when Verdi's Requiem was given by the Somerville High School. The vast audi- ence which filled every seat, the group of Sym- phony players, and the six-hundred1 pupils on the stage, swayed by the music, seemed almost to breathe in unison with Mr. Hadley's baton—a triumph of musical presentation rarely given to any musician to enjoy. The second picture was in this Auditorium when at the Alumni reunion over a thousand graduates gathered. During the evening they called for Mr. Hadley. He took a seat at the piano and they gathered around him and sang song after song of the old favorites, as in their school days—a triumph of affection rarely given to any teacher to enjoy. A stanza from one of Browning’s poems, set to music by Mr. Hadley’s son, we have often sung with him:— Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made! Our times are in His hand Who saith, ‘‘A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; Trust God: see all nor be afraid. The last sentence we may well believe was- Mr. Hadley’s life motto. ----------- service was held in memory of our Mr. S. Henry PUBLIC OCCURRENCES Zbc Triangular Bebate On February 4. a triangular debate was held between the Girls’ Debating Society, the Boys’ Debating Society, and the Civics classes of the school. The question was Resolved, That women should have suffrage equally with men in Massachusetts.’’ At tlie debate held in the Hall, the affirmative of the question was upheld by the Girls’ Debating Society, represented by Meaner Sutherland, Carita Hunter, Katherine Giles, and Dorothy McCoy as alternate; the negative was supported by the Boys’ Debating Society, represented by Klmer Pilsburv. Henry Derby, and Donald Smith. 'File decision was awarded to the affirmative team. In Room 122. the Boys’ Debating Society upheld the affirmative of the argument, and the Civics Class the negative. The affirmative team was Harry Moore. Henry Burt, and Thomas Scan- lan; the negative. Abbot Bryant. Constance Hastings, and Marion Clark. The decision was very close and finally awarded to the negative. The Civics Class deserves great credit for be- ing able to successfully debate, with no pre- vious training, against an experienced team. In Room 222, the decision was unanimously awarded to the negative, upheld by the Curls’ Debating Society, as represented by Margaret Hanlon. Keina Hadley, and Irene Graves. The affirmative was well supported by Reta Myers, Martha Baker and George Harding. Although all teams deserve commendation, the Girls’ De- bating S ociety is to be congratulated upon its winning both the affirmative and the negative of the argument. The annual dance of the Phi Alpha Sorority will be held in Anthoine’s Mall on April 6. 'Pickets may be obtained from the members after the first of March. 'Phe Epsilon Chapter of the Omicron Delta Fraternity will present “Red Top,” a musical comedy, at the Somerville Theatre, on April 12. Pickets may be obtained from members of the fraternity.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i A Ztbe Xanfc ©rant Colleges .TBv? art bur m. XetQbton, S. iH. S., u [Mr. Leighton was graduated in 1911. While in high school he was class editor tor three years and editor-in-chict in TO-’ll. He entered Tufts College, hut soon accepted a position as instructor in the Depart- ment oi Mechanics and Drawing at the University of M tine. 1 pTy.ii r URIXG the midst-of the Civil War a hill, framed by the late Senator Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont, known as the Land Grant Act or Morrill Act was passed by Congress on July 2, 1S02. This act. representing as it did Senator Morrill's careful thought and plans for the future, was the creator of our present power- ful chain of state universities and state colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts. Coming dur- ing times of strife, the passage of this act at- tracted scant attention at first- but within a few years the wisdom of the bill became apparent. The Morrill Act provided that there should be granted to the various states from the public lands thirtv thousand acres for each senator and representative in Congress from the respective states, and that from the sale of this land should be established a perpetual fund, the interest of which should be used for the establishment and maintenance in each state of at least one college. Regarding the nature of these colleges, the act reads in part. Without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tac- tics. to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts in such manner as the legislature of the states may respectivelv prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and the practical education of the indus- trial classes in the several pursuits and profes- sions of life.” This act forbade the use of any portion of the principal or interest of the fund for the purchase, erection or maintenance of buildings, and required that each state accept- ing the provisions of the act should provide at least one state college in five years. A number of the state legislatures accepted the act soon after its passage, and gradually these land grant colleges sprang up. In some states new colleges were incorporated, while in others, departments of agriculture and mechanic arts were established by the state in existing in- stitutions. In Massachusetts the departments of mechanic arts and agriculture were separated, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Agricultural College were founded. In the other New England states one college of agriculture and mechanic arts was founded in each state. In New York the state colleges of agriculture and technology were made a part of Cornell University. In the middle West the idea of a centralized state university met with favor, and the growth of some of these institu- tions has been very rapid. The public lands were sold immediately in some states, while other states reserved part of their lands, awaiting a rise in land values. In Min- nesota valuable deposits of iron ore were found ■ n some of the land reserved for the university so that the University of Minnesota will eventually be rich. Maine was less fortunate, and realized a fund of but 118,300 from its 210.000 acres of public land. During the early days of the state colleges the teaching of agriculture was a difficult proposi- tio� . Very little experimental work had been done in this line, and about the only subject which could be taught was ordinary farm prac- tice of the times. To remedy this condition of affairs, the Hatch Bill, passed in 188?. provided that each state should receive $15.000 annually for the establishment and maintenance of an agri- cultural experiment station. Furthermore, this bill provided for the publication and distribution of bulletins to be issued by these stations. In most cases these stations have been established at the state colleges, and through their work the science of agriculture has been built up. The Adams Act of 1900 gives another $15,000 an- nually to each of these stations for research work. In IS90 another bill framed by Senator Morrill, who had lived to sec the great results of his first bill, was passed by Congress. This second Mor- rill Act provided that for the year $15.000 be set aside for each state university or state college, and that this annual appropriation should be in- creased each year by $1.000 until it readied $25,000. In 190? the Nelson Act provided for the amendment of this previous act so that the annual appropriation for each state should be increased by $5.000 annually until the total ap- propriation reached $50,000. In many of these land grant colleges strong liberal arts courses have developed along with the purely technical subjects, and in general these institutions have encouraged broadness in education. Shortly after the passage of his sec- ond bill. Senator Morrill, in a letter t Profes- sor E. W. Stanton, of Iowa, wrote, “It is a joy SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR M S to me to know that the land grant colleges in nearly every state are fully meeting the original purpose as well as public expectations, and are offering an American system of liberal education to the great masses of our people formerly limited mainly to the instruction offered by com- mon schools and academies .... these colleges were not limited to one or two pursuits or professions of life, but included many. Agriculture and the mechanic arts should be the foremost to be provided with the best instruction of all the ages. but. having this lead, all other branches of liberal learning should not be ar- rogantly ignored or excluded, and whatever is included should be taught with absolute thor- oughness.” The last few years have witnessed the tre- mendous growth f university extension work throughout the country. The state universities and colleges are virtually a part of the public school system of the state, and as such should bring as much education as possible to all of the citizens of the state. While extension work in agriculture has perhaps been given the greatest consideration in the past, extension work both in engineering and liberal arts is sure to come into prominence in the near future. The University of Wisconsin has an extension system by which a citizen in any part of the state may take exten- sion courses in almost any subject offered at the university. The training of extension workers is an important part of the work of the land grant colleges, and the work done by these travel- ing salesmen and saleswomen of education is felt throughout the length and breadth of the state. Last year Congress passed the .Smith-Lever Hill, the purpose of which is to give Federal aid for extension work in agriculture and home eco- nomics. It provides that the Federal govern- ment shall give $10,000 to each state for the years 1011 and 1015. and that this shall be in- creased yearly until 1922, the increase being based on the ratio between the rural population of the individual states, and the rural population of the country. Iliis bill provides also that the state shall appropriate yearly an amount equal to the increase, otherwise the state will not receive the increase. This money should enable the land grant colleges to make great strides in their extension work, and approach the ideal of Sena- tor Morrill in bringing education to the indivi- dual citizens of the state.

The Soldiers of Peace are fighting Their never ending fight. Not in the swirl of conflict ’Mid crasli of the smoking guns, On the crest of a wild charge surging Their toil-worn pathway runs— But slowly with tape and transit, With shovel and pick and steel— Till the wondering jungles echo To the hum of the spinning wheel. On the shores of the Northland oceans Where the stinging sleet claws grip, Their sea-walls mock the ice packs That harry the battered ship. And the whining storm wind mutters As the sheeted hulk tears free, Safe to a man-built harbor Wrest’ from an angry sea! Through the burning land of dead things Where the demon Sun God rules. Their coughing pack trains stagger Bringing supplies and tools To detachments of dauntless workers, Who laugh at the heat and thirst— Till the shimmering steel tracks conquer The land that God hath cursed.

The song of their panting dredgers Flings echoes against the sky, And the lazy water gurgles As it chafes at its earthen chains, As the levee walls rise firmer, A guard for the sheltered plains.

And the yawning tunnels open To the smash rf their dynamite, ()r a water pathway lengthens O'er the back of a great divide, Wheie their huge locks lift the liners Up the frowning mountain side! ()n the floors of the rushing waters Through tiie mud and the silt they go, Sinking their steel-shod caissons To the yieldless rock below. Digging down through the darkness, Fighting the flood with air— Till the bridge piers breast the torrent And carry a pathway there! When the flickering shadows lengthen, And the glowing embers pale. Their toil-scarred veterans gather ()n many a lonesome trail. Snatching a moment's freedom. Ere break of another dawn. With a thought of the deeds of tomorrow, A sigh for their comrades gone.

The Soldiers of Peace arc fighting Their never ending fight. Their's not the victor's laurel When a hard fought field is won, No cheers of a grateful people But pride in a task well done; No blare of the conqueror’s trumpet.

[Gladys Almieda Mackay. a graduate of Somerville High School in 1013, spent the following year in grad- uate work there, and is now taking up voice culture in Boston, studying harmony and soflfegio at the New Eng- land Conservatory of Music. During her High School course. Miss Mackay contributed several stories to the Radiator.) EAR old Somerville High School, how I wish I were hack within your dear walls. How ungrateful we are to you by wishing away the time, while spending the four most 1 Tec ions years of our life under your watchful care. 'l'he first year of High School life passes so quickly. We are engaged in making new friends, choosing our companions and playing same old tricks which every green freshman plays year after year. The breaking of rules also takes a great place in a freshman’s life. However, there is one which is never broken throughout the whole four years. “Never do today what you can put off for to-morrow. 1 ’lay and amusement comes first, study—oh that is secondary, of course. During the second year the novelty begins to wear off. Lessons which the previous year were talked about as “a cinch gradually be- came harder. The teachers likewise change. They seem to be getting “crankier every day. Notice that I say “they seem. However, isn’t it queer that when all our lessons are pre- pared they are so good and patient. The only way we can account for this is that teachers are very changeable creatures. Thus it seems to the Sophomores—and yet people talk about green Freshmen! W ith the entrance of the third year we begin the “tug-of-war. The hardest year of the whole four and also the one which seems to he by far the longest. No matter how many les- sens we may have for the morrow, or how hard they may be. if there is any amusement going on, the latter must be attended. We are young but once. Lessons? () yes. we can get along l v bluffing the teacher. I should say that we think we can but—the saddest part of it all is. that we not only are the “bluffers” but also are the ones “bluffed.” Does the enjoyment of the night before really pay for the torture passed in school the follow- ing day. The keeping of late hours by no means aids us in our school work. The in- clined hill which must be climbed docs not help to sweeten our frame f mind, 'flic school looks so gloomy—just like a prison. My! won’t we he glad when we get through. We spend the hours in dodging behind the one in front of us. praying that the teacher may not call upon us. We dare not breathe for even that may attract the teacher’s attention and thus seal our fate. If. perchance, we wish to ask our neighbor if she liked the way Mary Jane did her hair, and take the opportunity to speak while the teacher’s back is turned—oh. cruel hue,—we arc caught in the act. What sharp ears the teachers have! How they glory in finding fault just be- cause one insignificant little lesson was left un- learned. Oh for the day which will enable us to step forth on the threshold of liberty. Little do we think, at that time, that in a very few years we will sigh for those dear hours spent together in school. If. on the other hand, the thought enters our minds we laugh it to scorn. The senior year—so far the grandest year of our school life—finds us in our glory. At last we are dignified Seniors! Now, instead of hav- ing models held up before us, we are held up as models for the other classes. As this year draws to a close we become more attached to the school, teachers and mates. The hill can be no longer counted as a trial. The school, after all, is quite a cheerful looking building. Our only regret is that we «lid not study a little harder and make the most of our opportunities. The last day is at hand. It is one which we have looked forward to and one never to be forgotten. Gathered for the last time in the hall we sing the Class Ode. What a strange choking sensa- tion arises in our throat. What! Is it possible? I ears in our eyes! How we struggle to con- trol them, just a few minutes longer and that long-wished-for freedom is ours. The Ode is over. Our principal addresses us as a class for the last time. Handkerchiefs come into displav. Permit me to say that the girls arc not the only ones guilty of using them. The class cheer ends the last exercises and good-bves are being said. As we shake hands with our teachers, we know that in each one we always did have and always will have a true friend. How hard it is to say good-bye to our mates, to some it is good-bye forever. When we wished for freedom we did not re- member that with it came the breaking up of the class, separation of friends, and privilege of 'tv [Continued on page l. 4] SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 TLhc Capital of China Bv William 5. 1bowe, 5. %. . '09 [Mr. II wc was graduated from Somerville Latin High School in 1!� !� and from Harvard in 191:1. While at college he was interested in far Eastern questions and made a deep study of the Russian language. He is now student interpreter at the American Legation at Peking, China.] EKING, the capital of China, is one of the most interesting cities in any country. It is divided into two main parts; the southern section is where most of the Chinese mer- chant houses and shops arc situ- ated and might be called the business section of the city; the northern section is where the le- gation quarter, the Forbidden City, and the imperial City are all located, as well as hun- dreds of ancient halls and temples. Ibis north- ern section is the Peking of history, and might be called the Peking proper. The present legation quarter is rectangular in shape, one side being formed by the wall of the city. It contains an area of perhaps a third of a mile square. Its streets are well paved, it has modern buildings and compares favorably with any urban section in a Western country. (iutside of this, we see many contrasts. Au- tomobiles, hacks, cloth covered springless carts, rickshaws, riding ponies and donkeys, with an occasional camel, are all to be met with passing along the same streets. There are moving-pic- ture houses and old-fashioned story-telling rooms close together. A street vender adver- tises his wares by beating on a tin pan. while in a shop near him. the British-American To- bacco Company is giving away lottery tickets with each package of tobacco, the possessor of the lucky number to be rewarded at the end of a month with a phonograph gloriously described. Above is an electric sign praising the qualities of a Japanese patent medicine. Suddenly we see a procession approaching. In front are marchers, and there are two or three large, covered sedan chairs, carried by several coolies. It is either a funeral or a wed- ding. It takes one fairly well-versed i:i the meaning of the different colors and other small details to tell the difference. In the matter of marriage customs we again see the duel be- tween the old and new method. Many of the more recent generations of young people choose for themselves, as in the West, but the habit of choice by parents is still very wide- spread. The bride and groom in such cases generally do not meet until the time of the wedding. The bride comes in heavily veiled, and at the psychological instant the groom takes a forked stick, and pushing the veil aside, first views his fortune. It is rather a dramatic moment to say the least. As regards education in China, ii one took conditions as they are at present, one might dispose of the subject very easily by saying that there is no such thing. The old classical sys- tem. wherein the only subjects studied were the classics of Confucius and the savings of tlte ancients has broken down completely and the nation has n; t had the money or experience nec- essary to build up a modern system. The latest reports would seem to show it probable that n t more than one-half a million young people are receiving any regular instruction in primary, high school or college subjects. The United States, with a population not over one- third of that of China, must have almost forty times as many pupils in her schools and colleges. Altli ugh education or rather the lack of it, may be considered one of China’s greatest ru- iccts. it may also he considered as her greatest hope. The people arc all extraordinarily eager to learn. They are gifted with marvellous mem- ories. and great power of application. They believe education the most fundamental of all human agencies in its benefit to a people and with such a hypothesis are bound to work out a valuable system eventually. At present the will is strong, but the means are wanting. There is one element that saves the present epoch from being entirely fruitless along edu- sationa! lines. This is the missionary and the V. M. C. A. schools. These are doing splendid work with the comparatively small proportion of the young that they can get in touch with. They are using Western methods and teaching Western subjects, and are also exercising a beneficent moral influence on those under their care. The Americans are far in the lead in their work and we ought to he pr tid cf their accomplishments. Whatever people may think about the religious side of mission work, they may well feel that the money contributed in America for foreign missions is proving of great practical service. Nowhere will a little money go so far and do so much as in this land where the mass of the people have so little and need so much.

The long gray line bristling was coming nearer and nearer—the faces of the men were clear in the dimming light nearer—nearer— “hire K’ame burst from the trenches, the gray line wavered, broke—was formed again—another belch of llamc from the trenches and the gray mass settled slowly back down the hill. Then from their officers came the stirring words of command, of encouragement, and the boys in gray formed again for the charge. A blue clad youth on his knees in the trench spoke sharply to the man beside him “Watch our left!” The warning was timely for the right wing of the enemies line was closing in rapidly for the firing had been less vigorous at that point. Follow- ing the warning the left was rapidly reinforced and the line which had been so swiftly approach- ing n w fell back, great gaps in its front rank. There was a gleam of sunlight or steel in the valley below and the young corporal who had first ; k' n. now turned sharply to a lieutenant kneeling behind him. “Is that a reinforcing division in the plain be- low. sir?” The officer swung his glasses into position. “Right you are—and its the 8th Maryland 1 louse” “What! the corporal’s face was deathly white, a' lie bent suddenly over his rille, while his twitching fingers refilled the chamber. The 8th Mankind House”—his voice was rough and choked. oh. God! ' A sudden cheer burst from the enemy’s ranks and hats were in the air. Reinforcements had come! 'I'lie sharp tones of the captain came to the corporal as he stood tense and silent. A message for Winslow!—wc must be rein- forced. we cannot hold this position over an hour! A dozen voices proclaimed their desire to at- tempt the ride but instantly —the corporal was beside his captain. I’ll go.

Re- mind him that the loss of this position means the loss of the Clarksburg road! The corporal stumbled into his place and automatically began to fire. His chance, his last chance was gone—before an hour had passed he would be in close hand to hand conflict with those men in gray who were n w striving val- iantly to hold their positions half way up the hill. Xow they were again charging. Nearer and nearer came the long gray line, a wall of bayo- nets. and behind them waited the 8th Maryland, sitting motionless astride their steeds—sabres gleaming in the sun. Xow the deadly fire from the trenches was resumed—steady n w. one con- tinued roar of musketry, but as each line of the gray broke and fell back another took its1 place. To the corporal, mechanically emptying his rifle at that gray mass, it seemed that hours were passing. ‘Oh (iod. he cried, spare me this. Let me die now. The voice of his captain. “One volley and then charge them. Drive them down the hill and return to the trenches!” Nearer and nearer came the gray mass, the eyes of the men set and staring, their one ob- ject in life to take that trench! A sharp command and the leaden hail from the trench sent the line reeling back: then over the top of the embankment with a wild yell, sprang the boys in blue, and with fixed bayonets drove the gray line, broken and torn, back down the hill. Then the right hand figure of those still men in gray astride their steeds, came a sharp com- mand. Like a machine they moved first at a walk, then the earth shook with the thunder of their hoofs. They swept upon the blue line, and now it. in turn, fell back upon the hill closely fighting every step.

S. u [James Earle Robertson was a member of the football hockey and baseball teams, being captain of the hockey and championship baseball teams in his senior year. Up n graduation. Mr. Robertson entered Worces- ter Academy, where he has been actively connected with the various athletic affairs of the Academy.) AXY tilings are essential in making one’s life a success. Of these, there are two special branches which should go hand in hand, that is, es- pecially while we are preparing our- selves for our future. Mental training is accepted by all as absolutely necessary, and with this should be a liberal amount of physical training to withstand the scorns and shocks the mental powers are sure to receive. Therefore, physical as well as mental exercises should be enforced to a certain extent in all preparatory schools. It has been shown in the majority of cases that a person with a wonderful physique and very weak mental powers does not, in the end. represent a very high degree of success. On the other hand, one of great mental powers, entirely efficient in bock culture, a great deal of experience, and a weak physique to back these sterling mental qualities, fails to have the spirit on the last lap, so to speak. In high schools and preparatory schools a great many seem to think that the only way to obtain a good physical body is to take part in the athletics recognized by the school authorities. This is far from right, for generally the indivi- duals who take part in the school sports are few in comparison with the entire student body. Football, baseball, hockey and track athletics are among the best of physical recreations, but there are a great many others, and probably every day we are participating in one or the other uncon- sciously. There are swimming, boating, walking, all sorts of gymnastic exercises, and the different minor athletic games which are too numerous to mention. Horseback riding, a most delightful sport, is still recommended by some doctors to remove superfluous flesh. Think for a moment of the popular enjoyment of the day, dancing. This is a wonderful exercise to keep the body in good condition, if it is not carried to extremes, ami one of the chief reasons why it is so beneficial is be- cause the people who take this exercise enjoy it. and are having the time of their life while par- ticipating in it. These arc only a few of many, but even with this small number there is abso- lutely no reason in this world why a person can- not do some exercise to build his body physically. Then, again, any one of the above exercises is of it;) little value t the participant if he docs it because there is no way of getting out of it'. In other words, he does not enjoy it. It should come as a pleasure to him. and will in the ma- jority of cases if he goes about it in the right way and in the right spirit. Most f those who do not love physical training have never taken part in any one branch enough to sec the fun and the pleasure that can be obtained bv this so-called work. Work, yes. it is a sort oi work in some cases, but the enjoyment that this work brings so much over-balances the labor part of it that there is little r o:n for discussion. And again some people take up this training,, especially the popular sports, for the publicity and popularity that can come to one through the press. and from one person to an- other. but if this is the case. it generally shows itself on the per- son. and lu- or she isn’t thought a great deal of except for athletic ability. Also, a large propor- tion of people who are said to be exceedingly popular say it is to their disadvantage rather than to their advantage. Summing everything up. physical exercises which arc taken under the right conditions seem to give a person a new lease of life. It invigo- rates him so that he can think much more clearly, and a great deal faster. This, then, is one of the many instances where physical exercises help in developing the mental powers. As to the mental side of the question, generally we think the only way to exercise ourselves men- tally is the ever-grinding and studying of our school bo ks. I hit did you ever experience the fun and comfort one gets out of a good sensible book after a hard day’s work, with verv little study. Another way to broaden one’s mind is to as- sociate with cultured men and women, and after hearing their ideas, weigh them in your own mind and take each one for what it is worth. Also, we all gain knowledge through the hard and sometimes treacherous school of experience, which is probably among the most important schools which we attend during life. These are.

After graduation, what? That is the question, the problem which will confront you. Sonic are thinking of college, and to those few may ! say this: Do not just think about it: act. and when fall comes, see to it that you are once more a freshman. It is the wisest move you can pos- sibly make, provided you do not let the good things college can give to you slip through your fingers. Remember that what you get out of col- lege depends wholly on what you put into it. Do not drift with the current of college life: sail a straight course, it is the only way to avoid the rocks. The majority of you will go to work at once, but do not rest on your oars with the securing of a job. It is much easier and safer not to fall into a rut than it is to climb out of one.

The world owes you nothing, but y-ni owe it to yourself to make the best of your op- portunities, to do the best you can and liv i well-balanced life.

But these two necessities of life arc inter- changeable in many instances, which go to prove that both are needed to carry on the other, and that by participating in athletics, brains arc de- veloped, and by using the brains athletic ability increases faster than otherwise. On the diamond, gridiron and in the gymna- sium we hear these common slang expressions when a person does not use his brains in perform- ing some physical exercise: “He pulled a bone,” staunch one.

In English classes many a good theme has been written on subjects referring to athletics, and when a teacher can use athletic terms when illustrating some difficult point it often fastens itself more strongly in the brains of the pupils than would some other illustration. Therefore, assuming the above facts arc true, a high school or a preparatory school should re- quire physical training to a certain extent along with the mental training, and schools which do this find it a great help in all the activities of the institution.

Their wise counsel, however, was my bosom compan- ion. and many times they enabled me to say “No” when I had no business to say “Yes.” Aside from my parents’ advice, a growing need of a friend—acquainted with the problems of this civilized country—became paramount with the passing of the days. Conscious and unconscious yearning for such a man created in me an unusual trust in all with whom I came in contact.

No! you mustn’t say that. Ask instead that God might forgive the King and that he may go to Heaven like papa.” The child looked at the mother in speechless amazement and after a few moments, reclasped his tiny hands and continued in the same clear voice. “Good God! forgive the King, but don't let him go to Heaven.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR '57 Ibis Calici' (Miss Merry Somerville High School.] IT WAS closing time in one ol Bos- ton's large office buildings.

As he sat there, he ap- peared entirely unconscious of his surroundings, and of the advancing dusk. Mis mind was far away, meditating on things of the past. Suddenly he was aroused from his dreaming by an impatient knock: but before he had come to his senses sufficiently to realize its meaning, the d or opened and a young lady entered has- tily. She was a very small girl, clothed in rich furs. Her light, fluffy hair showed from beneath a smart, close-fitting hat, which charmingly framed her round face. As she closed the door a faint breath of violets from the bouquet which she wore on her coat filled the air. The young graduated front man r sc nervously as she came towards him with outstretched hands. “Oh! she gasped, very much out of breath. I am so glad I got here before you went. [ just simply couldn’t get a minute’s peace until I saw y.� u. Why. you are all out of breath! he exclaimed. What made you l urry so? You should have telephoned for me to wait for you. 1 couldn’t stop for that, she exclaimed You see. 1 couldn't sleep a wink last night, but. I made up my mind to stick it out. I endured it all day, until finally I couldn't stand it any lon- ger. so 1 came back t you. It seems ages since I ieft here but really it was only yesterday. Isn't it strange how time drags when one is in trouble? “Yes ' he replied, as he helped her to a largo arm chair, but it has been a busy dav i � r meg and 1 haven't had much time t think of you. Then leaning over the back of her c’nv.r he placed his arms around her. and. as he? big brown eyes looked shyly up into his. her ruby iips parted, and between them he insero. .I a tiny, mirror, while he remarked. Open a little wider, please. Was it the lower tooth that I filled yes- terday?

As we struggle up life’s ladder To the shinning goal of fame; Let’s remember others, also; Are striving hard to make their name. Most arc jostling, pushing upward, Heedless of their fellowmen; Caring naught but for their purpose. But to reach the glorious end. Some we pass and leave behind us, Weary: they can climb no more, Whom, one little word of comfort, Might arouse to try once more. Let us stop and aid our brothers, Though our hearts for fame do burn; Then if we should ever falter, They would aid us in return. If we sec a soul in trouble, Let us aid him. lest we fall; Ever mindful of our motto: “All for one and one for all.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 163 The Radiator staff extends to the Alumni who have contributed to this number most sinccic thanks.

There is increasing evidence of the existence of small cliques in our school. The exclusive groups are composed of a d j en or so individuals who associate, think, act. work and move together. In a school as large as ours it is absolutely impossible for all students i ■ be- come acquainted, and it is only natural that we should associate with those with whom we come most often in contact, in classrooms, social affairs, school activities, etc., etc., but because we are interested in certain individuals or g. oups is no reason why we should exclude our frien ship and acquaintance from all outside of these conservative bodies, for it is everybody’s duty to meet and know as large a number of his class and the school as possible. Be democratic! Speak to everyone. Talk to everyone. Consider everyone on a pa; with yourself. The freshman is the lonely one of the school at present. Give him a “hello” and make him feel that you know him to be of the same school. Let us all be democratic in this democratic school. Let us all be one body, swayed by one impulse of friendliness. . .

When the decision of the judges was an- nounced and our gallant debaters realized the shield belonged to Somerville, perhaps nothing could have spoken relief to their overcharged feelings rather than did the strains of “Somer- villa” as they echoed through the building. r. For the first time in the existence of the Tri- angular League, Somerville has won the shield, receiving the unanimous verdict of the judges at Somerville defending the negative side of the question against Brookline, and being equally successful at Newton in defending the affirmative against Newton. r Out of the grim, cold winter emerges the na- tional game, baseball, ready to delight th: num- berless enthusiasts. In every school, preparations for games have been made by managers and players. After Somerville’s glorious victory last year, it is with renewed interest that the nine of this school await the time when the team will have the opportunity to win the pcmr-ml ibis year. Every candidate capable of handling a ball should go out for the team and show school spirit. 164 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1915-B Editor, Elmer K.

Childs, of Newton. who presided as chairman, arose, and after a few words of welcome and instructions, introduced the first speaker of the evening, Harry L. Moore, of Somerville. Moore showed that woman suffrage is in line with the trend of popular government and is in accordance with the principles of justice and democracy.. In uphold- ing these issues he traced first the successive steps in the progress of man toward political equality, and second pointed out the parallel rise in the case of woman until she had risen to companionship and partnership with man. lie further contended that the exclusion of women from the electorate contravenes the principles of justice and democracy, and then arg icd that the granting of suffrage to women would he m ac- cordance with those fundamental principles. Moore handled his evidence well, «and made a good foundation. Upon this broad introduction Thomas lr. Sea i- lan, second speaker, built a strong, constructive argument. lie established the conviction that there existed an urgent need of suffrage today, from the viewpoint of the state an.; the woman. His arguments were logical and sound, and could not be denied. He debated from the common- sense standpoint that the state need the due.-t influence of woman to help solve .1-� great social and industrial problems, and that woman, her- self. needs the privilege of citizenship for the broadening and development of .k. own charac- ter. During his debate he brought a number of points which counted as a rebut'.ai to the nega- tive arguments. Scanlan was forceful and earnest in the pres- entation of these arguments and left hi. � case we'l established. The third speaker for the S. H. S. team, Henry J. Hurt argued at length that suffrage has proven successful where tried. The body of bis speech consisted of statistics and a series � f quo- tations from reliable authority. He called par- ticular attention to the spread of suffi age, show- ing how eleven adjoining states comprising forty- nine per cent, of the total area of United States, have successfully adopted it. He la; 1 particu- lar stress on the fact that the growth of this movement has always been to an adjoining state, where its merits are best known. In rebuttal, Burt handled the case admirably, and closed the debate having proven the affirmative ca e with- out a doubt in the minds of the judges. Burt is a particularly effective speaker, natural in his (Continued on page 174.) Uicton? at Somerville All hats off to Somerville High School Debat- ing Team, all hats off to our coaches, who so in- cessantly and untiringly led our debating team to the hall of fame! Thanks to the loyal and confident supporters, who so valiantly turned out on that beautiful evening of March and pushed our team on to the best that was in them. A unanimous decision, the first that any team has received since the history of the league, was Somerville's triumph, and the cause of “Woman Suffrage” is still an undecided issue as far as Somerville goes. Another record, the first year that Somerville has ever caused Brookline to yield to the sting of defeat, and stili another, Somerville has brought home the shield fr , the first time since its debating history, a.c the -e- sults of hard toil and constant grind on the part of the debaters. Those who were at Somerville listened to a debate in which our boys, Derby, Smith and Pilslniry presented their arguments in a digni- fied. impressive and gentlemanly manner, while the Br klinc team. Vorenbcrg. Spaulding, and Salinger represented their school worthily. Smith and Salinger, upholding their teams in rebuttal, spoke excellently, and our own Smith carried off the honors in that line. The Maud lin Club from Brookline rendered excellent music. 'The judges were Mr. E. S. Bryant, Everett High School. Albert M. Lyon, Esq, Newton, and Mr. F. S. Hoyt. Boston. Superintendent Clark acted as chairman. Somerville High School Hall has never before echoed to such applause as sounded through the entire building at the announcement o: the de- cision. The entire assembly awoke to the fact that Somerville’s escutcheon had remained un- blemished that evening, and gave vent to uncon- trollable feelings. ------------------------------ Chelsea debate ()n Wednesday evening, March 10. the Somer- ville Girls’ Debating team debated with the Por- tia Debating Club, of Chelsea, on the subject. “Resolved, that the Government Should Estab- lish a System of Labor Exchanges and Indus- trial Insurance.” I lie Somerville team.

The country stands on the verge of a great development on all lines of commercial and industrial activity. Railroads, mines, in- dustrial and engineering enterprises of all kinds must be undertaken.

SOUTHWORTH S )M ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 183 II n hibernoriam. The death of former Superintendent of Schools Southworth removes one of Somer- ville's leading citizens and the one most closely identified with the public schools of the city during the thirty-five years of his connection with them. For twenty years Mr. Southworth was master of the Prescott School; in 1893 he was elected superintendent of schools and con- tinued in that position till his retirement in 1908. The years of Mr. South worth’s work as su- perintendent were the years of Somerville's most rapid expansion and growth in popula- tion. the schools having more than doubled in number of pupils and of instructors. That the schools have held an enviable position among the best in the Commonwealth is doubtless due in a very great measure to Mr. Southworth’s efficient care and management. Mr. Southworth was a man of wide reading, a comprehensive scholar. As an author of text- books lie was well known, having published a series in English Grammar and in Mathematics; the latter which he revised in 1911 has been extensively adopted in the West, notably in the cities of Chicago and of St. Louis. Mr. Southworth was a man of unobtrusive manner; genial, critical but tolerant, lie went quietly about his work, a gentleman always, well poised, sympathetic, sincere. Undemon- trative, seeking no honor for himself, he was fearless in advocacy of those principles which make f r the good of the community and which were so.signally present in his own character. In 1908, the year of Mr. Southworth’s retire- ment, he was present at the Ivy exercises of the graduating class. Responding to a request for a speech, he spoke glowing words which will never be forgotten by those who listened— words we well might wish could be engraved in letters of gold upon our walls and memorized by every pupil who shall go out from the High Sc ho i—after charging the class t« take care of their health, their money, and their lime, Mr. Southworth said in closing:— “And, lastly, I charge you to take care of your heart. I use the word as the Script i vs use it. ‘Out of the heart arc the issues f life’ —not simply the transitory life we are now liv- ing. but that future, endless life whose character is decided by the present. Live up to your ideals. Preserve your honor and your integrity. At all hazards, fight temptations and all allui e- mettts toward the wrong. Exercise self-control. Be kind, sympathetic, helpful, pure: strive after those things which do not perish with the u erg. Be loyal to the voice of conscience, to the in- struction y u have received here, to the city, to the flag: and prove by honest, noble living that you appreciate and seek to recipe � ate all the advantages which the City of Somerville has placed at your disposal. iS4 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR tlbe “36eta” IDancc 36g the Bxcbanoe Editor 1' WAS a delightful, cold night early in October—one of those first cold nights in fall which makes one ap- preciate the cozy warmth of an open lire. A jolly group of Adams College boys were assembled in the Beta l'rat rooms, some oi whom had come to spend the evening, and others who had just dropped in on their way down town. The group was composed of bright, intelligent chaps, typical college boys, who were enjoying the proverbial ‘‘small talk” of the fraternity room. The very room itself spoke comfort, from the large open fireplace before which, over a card table, four Beta men were indulging in a noisy game of penny-ante poker, to the cushioned window seat, where, stretched out at full length, Barney was struggling with Horace translation in spite of the noisy conversation of his less stu- dious “brothers.” The “Beta” dance, the first social affair of the season, scheduled for the following week, was affording the topic of general conversation. “Sav. Barney, you’re planning on taking in this affair, aren’t you?” Jack Blaisdell called out from the piano where he was playing “Good Night. Ladies” with one finger. His overcoat thrown open, his cap on his knee. Jack twirled around on the piano stool and faced Barney. 11 is fine, intelligent look, his frank smile and pleas- ing manner left no chance for doubt as to why Jack Blaisdell was a favorite among the bovs. Barney, a Washington boy. who had just come North for his education, and was rooming at the college, had already made many friends among the boys, but particularly had he taken to Jack, who was a day student at Adams, living “off hill,” since his home was in the town. “Go? I’ll go if you furnish me with a part- ner for the evening.” came the reply. “What’s the matter with Hazel?” asked Jack. “Oh. she’s going to be out of town for the week-end, and since she’s the only girl I know in this God-forsaken hole of a town, it looks as if it were tip to you fellows to find me someone.” Jack resumed his idle drumming on the piano, apparently thinking hard all the while. Stop- ping suddenly in the middle of his tune, he ex- claimed eagerly. ! have it! You take ‘Babe.”’ “Babe” was Jack’s sister—his “kid” sister, he called her. although coming down to actual years, there weren’t two between their respec- tive ages—who was a senior in the High School in the same town as Adams College. She was an attractive girl and she and Jack were “pals.” If I had met her i might, but probably she wouldn’t be fussy about going with a strange fellow, much less an abominable dancer like mvself.” “Can that stuff, Barney! If you’re willing, I’m sure I can fix it up for she’s been teasing me for weeks to take her, and was wild when I told her I had invited Ruth. What do you say? Is it a go?” “Of course it’s a go as far as I’m concerned,” replied Barney, “but I’ll bet you right now that your loving little sister won’t assent to any plan like that.” “How much do you bet?” asked Jack. “Well. I’ll bet you-------” Barney hesitated, “two good tickets for ‘High Jinks’ for next week that she won’t go.” “Two tickets for ‘High Jinks'? You’re on,” came eagerly from Jack. “Don’t forget, now. You’ll owe me two tickets for ‘High Jinks.’” Looking at his watch he started to go. saving, “It’s eight-thirty, and I must go home and study.” “Study?” echoed several of the boys, “oh, what a joke.” and as Jack made for the door, they called out. “Don't miss the last car! Re- member me to her!” and Barney called, “Don’t forget that bet.” Moreover. Jack did not forget it. and he had a double motive for remembering it. First, he liked Barney mighty well, and wanted to make it possible for this strange fellow to get to the dance. Also, he sought to regain the place in his sister’s good graces whence he had fallen when he refused to take her to the dance him- self. He walked quickly home, and entered the li- brary. called cheerily to “Babe.” “Say, sis. want to go to our dance?” “No,” came the short reply. “I don’t. I sup- pose Ruth refused you, and now you want me to go ‘second fiddle.’ Well. I won’t go!” This would have been enough to have quelchcd a chap of ordinary feeling, but under- standing girls as well as Jack did. or professed to. he did not lose heart, but continued. “No, you needn’t worry. I’m not going to ask you to go with me. but I do wish you’d go with Bar- ney. that Washington chap who entered college this fall. He’s a mighty nice chap, and the only SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR girl lie knows around here is going to be away that night. W ill you go?” “Babe,” very stubborn and independent when she wanted to be. tried to look indifferent, but didn’t quite succeed in concealing the look of interest which lighted her face at the mention of her brother’s friend, the boy from Washing- ton. Barney had been quite an object of attraction to the girls, being a new boy at college, and hav- ing come from the South. Babe” had heard about him from some of the girls who had met him. and the general criticism was that although good-looking, he was a poor dancer. In spite of these reports, Babe” couldn't help picturing out in her mind the lark of going to the dance with a fellow whom few of the girls knew, but whom all were anxious to meet. However, she obstinately replied. “No. thank you. 1 don’t care to go.” and pretended to settle down to her books again. I wish you would go,” went on Jack, “you know you would have a good time, and besides you’d help a fellow out of a tight place. But then. I'm not going to coax you. If you don’t want to go. stay at home.” He went out of the room, but just as men always do just what they declare they won’t do, he returned almost immediately, saying coax- ingly. “Come on. Sis. Be a sport. Will you? Say yes. and I’ll phone Barney at the frat rooms now.” “What arc you so anxious for?” queried “Babe.” who. after consideration, had decided that Jack was a little too interested. Why are you so concerned about this Barney? Why must you provide a lady for him to take to the dance?” Well, the poor fellow’s a stranger up here, and I’d like to see him share in the good time— and besides—if—well. I don’t know what in thunder I'll give for an excuse if you refuse,” stammered Jack. “Give—him—for-an-cxcuse? Why. does he know you’re going to ask me?” cried “Babe,” amazed. “Well, ves—you see—well, to be frank, lie bet me a couple of theatre tickets that you wouldn’t go; so----- “He wins!” cried Babe.” “You needn’t think I’m going to oblige you just so that you can get a couple of tickets to take Ruth Martin to see ‘High links.’ Promise to take me to the show, and I’ll go to the dance and thus help you win the tickets.” Jack would probably have been willing to agree to this had he thought that “Babe” really wouldn’t go otherwise. But he knew how anx- 18S ions she had been to go to the “Beta” dance and so was quite confidant that she would finally “give in.” But not so, although Babe” many times in the next week wished she had. for it was pretty hard to hear so much about the affair and not be going herself. The afternoon before the evening of the dance “Babe’s” chum. Mazie, came in. Mazie was go- ing to the dance with Fred Hager, a friend of Jack’s, and was eager for the evening to come. Oh. Babe. I wish you were going,” she had just exclaimed for the hundredth time, when the telephone rang. It was Fred calling Mazie. Babe heard Mazie say into the transmitter, “Who’s the fellow? Can he dance? From New York? Of course she will. Yes—ali right. You come here for us with him, and we’ll all four go together— all right. Good bye.” Mazie turned quickly from the ’phone and shrieked. “Oh. Babe; that was Fred, and he’s bringing a friend who rooms in Davis Hall down to go with you to the dance tonight, and we’ll all four go together, isn’t that great? Are your clothes ready? Oh. isn’t that fine? His lady friend took sick, and wasn’t going, but Fred thought of you. I knew you’d go. Why don’t you say something? Won’t you go. Babe? Aren't you glad? Say something, quick! Mazie was very much excited and spoke in incoherent jerks. Yes. I’m glad, drawled Babe, “but-but what about Jack when he finds I’m going?—and what about Jack’s Washington friend? After I re- fused to go with him—and there’s no knowing what Jack offered him for an excuse—I really ought not go with anyone else.” I’ll tell you what.” said Mazie. “Don’t tell Jack you’re going, and let him be surprised when he sees you there. I le always leaves early to go down for Ruth, and you can get ready af- ter he has gone.” So it was agreed, and Mazie went home to dress, leaving Babe almost flabbergasted, but nevertheless pleased. Jack blew in to dinner with a very knowing look on his face, and during the meal addressed his sister, “Bet you’re sorry for your stubborn- ness now. Babe. Don’t you wish you were go- ing?” and Jack chuckled to himself and winked at his mother. Jack dressed for the dance, had scarcely closed the front door after him before Babe rushed into her evening clothes. She was ready when Mazie came over, and bred and his friend soon arrived. Fred’s friend was introduced as Mr. Averill—a tall, fine looking gentlman, very cordial, who proved to be most jolly. Arriving SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 185 at the hall. Babe purposely avoided her brother and Ruth, and seated herself where she could watch their faces when they spied her. She de- tected no look of surprise, but instead on Jack’s face, a self-satisfied smile which seemed to Babe more like a mocking smirk. Mr. Averill had filled Babe’s order and had given it to her. She looked it over. The seventh and eleventh were with Jack. What would he say? He couldn’t disapprove, for wasn’t it one of his own fraternity brothers with whom she had come? It was a splendid party, everything went along beautifully. Mr. Averill proved to be an excel- lent dancer, and Babe was having the time of her life. Just before the seventh engagement. Jack came over to her with a broad smile on his face, ------------------------- Cbe Eternal jfenumne By the associate £Mtor gone. I haven’t time to send home for money and I simply won’t wear these things in the windows. Can’t you think of something? “Ruthic. there’s only one chance, but it’s a good one. Go back to college and see if the girls haven’t got an evening dress to sell. You ought to find one gown out of the number. I.ottv Philips was looking for a customer last week. Said she’d got tired of her apricot gown and it’s a dandy, too. You’ve seen it, haven’t you? She wore it to the Gamma Delta dance.” “Yes. I remember,” rejoined Ruth. “You mean the taffeta silk with the lace jumper over it? Ruth had already begun to hurry, her face flushing, and her eyes sparkling at the thought of obtaining a dress at last. Norma tried to dampen her enthusiasm, real- izing how bitter would be the second disap- pointment. should Lottie refuse to sell, or if she had already parted with the frock. Ruth, however, was not to be subdued. Now that a chance had offered itself, luck would not fail her again. By the time they had boarded the homeward bound car. Ruth was her own happy self, chat- ting volubly with Norma about everything in general and nothing in particular. When they reached college, Lottie was the first girl they met. Ruth rushed up to her. seized her arm. and demanded excitedly: “Lottie, have you sold your apricot dress yet? Don’t say you have! Why. what shall I do? Oh. dear, why couldn’t you have waited until next week before you sent the dress to your cousin? I don’t think •TSTAUTH Lamson walked with lagging steps along Boylston street one bright spring afternoon. One look at her face sufficed to show that Ruth was utterly discouraged even vexed about something. Her mouth drooped pitifully; her forehead was puckered into a most unattractive frown: her eyes looked as if tears were not very far away. She lingered at each shop window in which femi- nine apparel was displayed, examined the con- tents, hopefully, but never seemed to be satis- fied with what she saw there. “Well. Ruth Lamson, where under the sun did you come from?” unexpectedly remarked a voice belonging to a young girl. “I thought you had an exam to take today.” “Norma Lee, you’re a Godsend. Here I am in the worst predicament ever, and I just know you can help me. You must, or I’ll have to ’phone Dick-----” Ruth’s voice broke with the suspi- cion of a sob, and Norma quickly guessed the trouble. “H’m! So Mr. Dick is at the bottom of the predicament. Well, it’s not to be wondered at. What’s the trouble now? Tell me what I can do to bring a smile to that tragic, woc-begonc face.” demanded Norma. Just find me a dress to wear to the Hop to- morrow night. 1 promised I’d go and I forgot all about the fire last week which destroyed my two evening gowns. I got excused from my exam and rushed in here only to find that you can’t buy evening gowns fit to wear unless you pay a good price and mv allowance is almost which sensitive Babe mistook for ridicule. Brother and sister looked at each other. The music started. Putting his arm on her waist, and swinging her into the first steps of the hesi- tation. Jack said. Well, if you aren’t the most obliging little sister in the world! To come with the very gentleman with whom 1 wanted you to come! And aren’t you having a good time? You see. Babe, it was this way: I knew you wanted to go, but you wouldn’t give in. so I got bred to arrange it with Mazie, and she did the rest. Just a little conspiracy, Babe, but you’re having a good time, and so is Barney. By the way, you never knew his last name, did you? So that didn’t give us away. Oh. well, you’re a peach. Sis. and moreover. 1 won my two tickets for ‘High Jinks’. ” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR in 7 I ever wanted anything so badly in my life, but I’ll canvas the college and see what luck 1 have.” And canvas the college she did. but with even poorer luck, for nowhere was a dress to be bought or borrowed. A good many girls were going to a dance out of town the same even- ing. some were having their gowns altered, while others had gowns that simply would not lit poor Ruth. One can easily picture the depths of Ruth’s despair. This continual misfortune brought a flood of tears. Utterly discouraged, Ruth and her faithful bodyguard, Norma, had finally sought refuge in Ruth’s room, there to think over what could be done to insure the former’s happiness. Norma racked her brains to think of some solution to this ridiculous, situation, but no solution which could be considered for a mo- ment presented itself. Plainly, Ruth must give up the dance. Hard as it would be to tell Dick, it was the only way out. The disappointment would do Ruth good, so reasoned Norma to herself. The child had everything her own way and always expected to get what she most desired, expecting everyone to wait on her hand and foot. Such a shock might open her eyes to the fact that misfortune was meant for her as well as for her sisters in this world. Ruth had evidently come to a like de- cision. concerning the dance. ‘‘Well, I’ve got to telephone Dick and the quicker I get it over with the better,” re- marked Ruth, rcsigocdly. ‘‘But what shall I tell him, Norma? Fellows always ridicule girls when they say they haven’t got anything to wear. I know just what Dick will say. First, he’ll say. Just like a woman.’ and then it’ll be ‘Hang it all, wear anything! It doesn’t make any difference to me. I’ll like, you just the same.’ That’s all well and good, but I can’t stand the sneering remarks I know those girls will make about me. I guess I’ll tell him I’m sick, got an .attack of the grippe. My head docs really ache, but no wonder, after all I’ve been through to-day. 1 hate to think of Dick’s taking another girl and saying nice things in her car. I wonder whom he 11 ask. Probably that flashily dressed girl that lives over in Chapin Hall. He used to go with her. I don’t care. He can take her if he wants to.” This last sentence was uttered with such a brave attempt at indift'erence and showed so obviously her sentiments concerning one Mr. Richard Crane, that Norma could not refrain from laughing. You poor, silly, abused child! Can’t you forego the pleasure of Dick’s company for one evening without imagining him in love with any girl he happens to take to the dance? You don t expect him to stay home and think about you all the evening, do you? Men aren’t made that way.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1 9 5acl: Burton, detective 35 tbe Glass EMtor l9U5 IB ( June sJSlh, I left niv h me in the ! picturesque and fair New Hamp- shire hills to spend the summer vacation with my uncle, Jack 1 a Burton, a well-known Boston de- tective. Jack had been a sergeant on the New York force, but had resigned to take up his new duties in Boston. The Vermont Express came to a jarring stop in the North Station one hour late. On descend- ing the train, I recognized my uncle's well-built form, and we were soon settled comfortably in ids large Pierce-Arrow. Yc proceeded up Portland street, thence to Scollay square, a-ul then through Tremont street to his large of- fice, and home in Back Bay. 1 was only with my uncle one week when I noticed a great change from the jolly New York pol.ccman to a silent and quiet man. Eor days at a time when we were not busily occupied, he would remain by himself experimenting with acids and electricity: speak only at meals; and: at night would sit for hours apparently staring at nothing. Then without the least warning, he would be cheerful and talkative. On a warm Tuesday in the middle of July, with Boston’s intensive sun shining hotter man usual, 1 descended into my uncle’s office after having enjoyed a hearty breakfast. Eiguring on a large sheet of paper 1 found my uncle awaiting my arrival. He seemed re- freshed after a three-nights’ sleep inside of ten days; for it had just been three days before that he had successfully run down a dangerous gang of counterfeiters on Columbus Avenue. Good morning, uncle,” I remarked, as 1 dropped into a comfortable chair beside him, “what is the news to-day?” After returning my greeting he gravely handed me the morning Post, and in large headlines the following attracted my notice. • JOHN ASK IN’S ASSISTANT MURDERED BY HIS WIFE!” Then followed a detailed account of the mur- der, and a complete description of Boston’s most famous inventor, and his wife. I noticed my uncle was deeply interested in the account of the murder; for he had known Mrs. Askin for several years. He appeared convinced that Mrs. Askin had not murdered Miss Atwood, Mr. Askin’s assistant, and when my uncle was convinced of anything, it was ten chances to one that he was right. In the midst of our speculations there was a short, sharp ring of the bell, and in a few min- utes Harry, the butler, handed a card to my uncle bearing the name of John Askin. Hastily scrawled in the right hand corner was the following:— “About my wife and the recent murder.” Admit the gentleman.” ordered my uncle, hastily shoving out of sight the paper on which he had been figuring. The man who was shown into our presence tailied perfectly with the description in the Post. lie was about six feet tall; had small roving eyes which kept continually rolling about in a nervous manner; bis hair long and uukempt; his long lean body clothed in a slightly faded gray suit: and his hands stained and sw llen from his continual companionship with numerous acids anil powders. Good morning,” greeted my uncle kindly as he noticed the nervous condition of the man. I sec you ate your breakfast hurriedly this morning; that you have been to a telegraph office to send a telegram to your wife’s rela- tions: that you passed the Boylston Street Sub- way entrance; and that on your way you stopped at one of Riker-Jaynes drug stores to purchase a few headache powders.” As my uncle told Mr. Askin just what he had done since leaving home I could hardly refrain from laughing outright at his amazed and incredu- lous face. However. I realized that this was only one of the many examples of my uncle’s power of observation and simple reasoning. It was seldom that he did this before a client, but Mr. Askin was so nervous that something had to he done to make him have faith in my uncle. How do you know these things? queried Mr. Askin nervously, “have you been following me around?” No.” retorted my uncle, smiling, as you notice, if you will take trouble enough, there arc several crumbs on your vest. When I was at the city banquet at the Copley-Plaza I noted that you ate very carefully, therefore you would not have those crumbs on vour vest unless you 190 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR had eaten hurriedly and carelessly. Also, the telegram slip which you took from the tele- graph office in case of need is sticking out of your coat pocket. Who else could you be send- ing a telegram to unless it was your wife’s re- latives. as you have not any? You passed the Boylston street subway entrance because be- tween vour home and this office the only place where there is a peculiar red clay is where they are constructing a new entrance near the pres- ent one. You were there for your shoes are covered with red clay. At Riker-J ay lies’ you purchased several headache powders; for you have some Dr. Smith’s Headache Powders’ ;n your vest pocket. Riker-Javnes arc the only druggists in Boston who carry such powders. It is very simple, Mr. Askin. It is simply wonderful,” exclaimed Mr. Askin. in an admiring voice, his nervousness gone, and with great confidence in my uncle’s ability. “Oh. no.” returned my uncle. “Each man to his trade. You are skilled in electricity and ex- plosives while' 1 am skilled with people. But we have already wasted valuable time. Tell me everything important that has happened since Miss Atwood entered the employ of John- son. Sibbons Co., even if it does implicate your wife. Then he directed me to telephone to the inspectors in charge of the body at the labora- tory on Washingtc n street, to see that it re- mained in the same position that it was when it fell. Also, to touch nothing around the room. One year ago. commenced Mr. Askin in a more confident voice. I had just begun an invention consisting of two very powerful ex- plosives. which, when combined with the help of certain electrical apparatus, would revolu- tionize all large Wasting in the cutting through mountains, and digging of canals. This inven- tion could also be used in submarines after go- ing through several changes: my firm sincerely desired to patent this invention, and used the strictest means to keep it a secret. The only firm we feared would steal the invention was Brattle Joyce of Portland. Maine. About this time Miss Atwood applied at our office for special work, and on strong recommendation was made my assistant, although she was not supposed to look at my charts. Peculiar as it may seem, one day when I entered the labora- tory earlier than usual. I saw Miss Atwood carefully scrutinizing the charts. When I asked her what she was doing, she replied that she was so interested in my success that she was endeavoring to find out if there were any de- fects. From that time on she was alwavs with me, much to the anger of my wife. Last night 1 decided to bring her to the house; for 1 wished to complete everything as the test was to have been held today. When Miss Atwood was bending over my shoulder, pointing out a small mistake, my wife, a southerner, entered. Immediately her southern jealousy was aroused, and when Miss Atwood left to go to the laboratory for her coat, my wife, unknown to me at the time, followed her. taking my revolver from my coat in the hall. The watchman saw her enter the building after Miss Atwood. Five minutes later lie heard a dull explosion, and saw my wife running from the rear door. Immediately he entered and found the dead body of Miss At- wood. He notified the authorities who came to the house where my wife, excited and ex- hausted, had arrived but ten minutes before. Her last words to me were ‘I never killed her Von, I had just arrived when I heard a dull ex- plosion. and saw Miss Atwood fall. I am not guilty, and I am sure everything will come out all right.’ “What I have just told you, gentlemen, is the story in detail since Miss Atwood entered the employ of Johnson. Sibbons Co., one year ago. to the present hour. After Mr. Askin had been sent home with the assurance that my uncle would solve the case before nightfall, we hastened in his Pierce-Ar- row. for T was exceedingly interested in the case, to the laboratory on Washington street. Here we encountered Inspectors Xaughton and Perry, of the Central office, who were guard- ing the room and the body from the reporters in accordance with my uncle’s instructions. It is a clear case.” stated Inspector Perry, I have it in a very few words. Wife, jealous of inventor’s assistant, follows her to laboratory, and shoots her with this revolver which I found in the corner.” My uncle smiled slightly. He was ca-efnlly examining every small detail in the room. He looked over the machinery: noted the explosives and the powder dust around the walls: saw the walls dented by some small substance that i.ad been embodied in them. He approached the body, and from the heels of Miss Atwood’s shoes which had been split open by her h h. withdrew a number of papers. He examined the wound with great care, and then dug a small piece of iron from the wall, and compared it with the size of the wound. In the middle of his search he said t me, “Call up the District Attorney, the coroner. Mr. Askin. and bring Mrs. Askin here with the sheriff.” [Continued on pas® SOMER VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 191 The sympathy 01 an members of the High School is extended to Miss Tuell. of the His- tory Department, in the death of her father, Mr. Hiram Tuell, a prominent citizen of Milton.

Juniors, show class spirit and attend the class banquet and entertainment to be given May 13. It is the sincere desire of the committee in charge of the chief Junior Class function of the year to have this banquet and entertain- ment surpass socially, at least, all functions of other junior classes in the preceding years. This cannot be done without the hearty co- operation of each and every junior in the school. Classmates: Set aflame every particle of class spirit that is within you. and work in co-operation with the committee. The price, one dollar, surely permits every junior to come. The banquet will be served by the popular caterer, and the entertainment will positively surpass previous efforts of this kind. Miss Raymond has at last found out how to keep the girls in 204 quiet.

It was also an- nounced in the Somerville News. A large num- ber of teachers and pupils were present. Among them were Superintendent Clark, Mr. Avery, Mr. Hatch.

E LIVING room in the Eaton's summer home was silent, save for the faithful timepiece over the fire-place, or an occasional twit- ter from the little canary. A soli- tary figure stood before the west- ern window absorbed in watching the close of the August day. Far away toward the blood- red sun; and glistening beneath a painted heaven, twisted the tidal Webhannet. amidst the gathering shadows of the salt-marsh. One by one the village lights beamed forth; the colors faded from the distant hills, and dark- ness settled over the land and sea. “Dreaming again. Peggy?” called a cheery voice from the door-way. “Oh. it’s you, Joe! How you startled me! Please turn on the light as you come in.” “I'm sorry, Sis, if 1 scared you. but I was feeling lonely, so 1 thought I would look you up.” Peggy eyed her big, handsome brother with satisfaction. “What is troubling you, a woman or a million?” Joe laughed as he seated himself beside his sister. “No, Peg. I’m glad to say it’s neither, just at present. Of what were you thinking when I interrupted your dream?” “Nothing, Joe. I was watching the sunset; it was most beautiful tonight.” “Where is mother?” “Poor mother was not feeling well, and re- tired early. By the way. I’m afraid things have not been going well with you of late. You have lost your appetite and your face looks so drawn and tired.” “Peggy, dear, its nothing more than a dis- agreeable cold that has settled in my head.” Joe slipped a loving arm about his sister’s waist as she made herself comfortable on one arm of the rocker. With soft, gentle fingers the girl smoothed the brown curly hair as she pleaded:— “You are sure nothing is wrong? If there is something on your mind that is causing this despondency, please confide in me, and I’m sure that together we shall be able to overcome this fit of gloom.” “Peggy, it’s great to have a sister like you. Please don’t bother that pretty head of yours with my nonsense. 1 surely will confide in you ■« anything goes amiss, but nothing has gone wrong.” With a most assuring smile, he continued: “We arc going to have company in a few days. 1 received word from my room-mate and chum at college, saying that he will make us a short visit. You have heard me speak of Billy Ayers in my letters, and. sis, lie’s one of the nicest fellows in the world.” With a twinkle in his eye he cautioned. Be careful, Peg; don't get in love, for it will be harder to pull you out than it was that time you slipped off the bank into the river last summer.” “How you talk, Joe Eaton! I’ve half a mind not to speak to your friend the whole time he is here. Goodness knows, how many pages have been devoted to his memory. Al! year it was nothing but Billy, Billy, until I'm sure I shall know him should we ever pass each other on the street. Star catcher for the base- ball-nine! Star again as full-back for the col- lege eleven!” mocked Peggy, in fun. “Bah. I bet I’ll hate him! 1 know I shall!” Joe merely smiled and consulted his watch. It’s time for Varney, lie’s coming over to have a chat for a little while.” I don’t like that fellow one bit!” scolded the girl. Why you associate with him lately is beyond my comprehension. Then there’s Pete Sevigny, too. They do nothing but loaf about the Cove. Van, I’ve heard, drinks, and--------” “My! My! Peg, you’re altogether too fussy. First you hate Billy, whom you’ve never seen, and now you’re hauling poor Pete and Van over the coals.” “As for disliking your college friend, you know I’m only joking, but you must admit I have sufficient reasons for not liking those fel- lows.” Sister, there are a good many human faults in this world that one must overlook. We arc all far from perfect. Surely, you would not advise me to shun Pete and Van, because of their faults? They need a helping hand, es- pecially Varney. Both fellows have left liquor absolutely alone since they came to work aboard my power boat, and Pete has a good chance of being made assistant keeper of the Light, now that old Purdy has died.” Joe paused. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 198 “What about Van?” inquired the interested sister. “Van’s worst enemy is his deceitful tongue. When he speaks no one dares believe him. No one will hire him. The habit has so grown upon him that unless he be taught a severe lesson, one that will humiliate him absolutely, I fear he will always continue a liar.” “Joe, I uphold you in all that you have said. I am in the wrong. Forget my scolding.” The warning bell brought Peggy to the front door. A tall, weather-beaten youth was ushered into the room, where he remained hesitatingly, not far from the door. “Don’t you dare keep my brother up late, Van. Joe has been ill and needs his rest.” With a friendly smile and nod, Peg bade the boys good night. Van waited until Peggy’s footsteps died away in the hall before speaking. “We arc in no danger of being overheard if we talk here to- gether?” he asked, cautiously. “Come, don’t let that worry you. for we’re perfectly safe to talk here. Only Peg and my mother are home and both are upstairs. Being thus assured. Van left the vicinity of the door and seated himself opposite his com- panion. He appeared nervous, and being unable to contain himself longer, asked. “Does your sister suspect anything?” Joe rose and began to pace the floor. “Only that something is bothering me, nothing more.” “You still hold to the original plan?” “Yes, tomorrow night the Betsy Anne will leave her course and anchor one mile outside and due east of the Light, and we must meet her without fail. There is a good bit in it for us if we win, but disgrace and prison if we fail.” “You—you don’t have any idea we’re being watched, do you?” “Now, Van, there’s only one chance in ten we’ll fail. Surely you’re not afraid?” Varney shrugged his shoulders. “Life’s short enough as it is. and I’m not running chances where failure is certain, and jail is the inevitable end.” Joe’s eyes narrowed; his mouth tightened, and he started to reply, but the jingle of the ’phone interrupted him. “Hello!” he called. “Yes, this is 3-0-8-W! Win. hello; that vou, Pete? So vou’re in Portsmouth tonight! What? Impossible! Arc you sure? Make the run? Of course we’ll make the run!” Van had hastened to Joe’s elbow as soon as the real significance of the broken phrases had dawned upon him, “What’s wrong, Joe?” Eaton pushed away the anxious Van, but did not reply. When Joe turned from the phone, his face was not pleasant to see, and in a voice full of bitterness he spoke. “The revenue men arc on to us! Pete claims the Cove is being watched, and our chance for a safe run is doubtful.” “Then we don’t go tomorrow night ?” ven- tured Van. “The chances must be run. We meet the schooner tomorrow night!” A careful observer might have wondered at the seemingly suppressed twinkle that played occasionally in Joe’s eyes, or the strange twitch that lurked at the corners of his mouth, but might have attributed the cause to the strain under which he was suffering. “Man, arc you crazy?” thundered Van. “Do you want to be caught and jailed? Not for me. old boy; I'm done with the whole affair!” The two men faced each other. “Do you mean to say you’re going to leave Pete and me to face the music? You agreed to undertake this smuggling scheme even if chances were against us, and I’ve got Pete to prove it!” “I’ve got nothing more to say; I’m through with this affair!” “Indeed!” mocked Joe, with clinched fists. “Remember the many times at the Cove you told us concerning the daring ‘runs’ you used to share in. My. but you’ve certainly changed since then. At this vague rumor you tremble like a leaf. Surely a man who has faced dan- ger the way you say you have is not afraid?” Van bit his lip. He well remembered the stories he had told to the fishermen at the Cove and knew that he had lied. Mustering up all the courage he possessed—which was very little—he replied:— “I won’t leave you fellows in the lurch. I’ll be at the Cove on time.” (I .ut Two C ntinne� ! in tin- May Issue.)

T he Exchange Editor of the Dean Megaphone in his plea for more interesting exchange columns, suggests that ridicule or satire be used, in as much as it would “attract attention and disguise the material effectively; and would at least be read.” Isn’t this arguing for a step in the wrong direction, a step which will eventu- ally lead to most undesirable results? Ridicule or satire unskillfully handled becomes sarcasm, and certainly a criticism of this sort would do far more harm than good. If exchange col- umns are giving just, helpful criticisms they are a valuable asset: burdened with that spirit which ridicule and satire might bring, they would certainly become a liability. A compliment and a suggestion from the Me- nomitc. “Somerville High School Radiator; the neatness and good arrangement of your paper are very commendable. A few cuts would improve it.” The exchange column of the Tripod, Roxbury Latin School, contains an excellent suggestion regarding the literary departments of all school papers. The Tripod suggests that, rather than have this department consist wholly of fiction, articles on common topics, scientific subjects, etc., should be given a more conspicuous place. “We believe that an article like this is worth more than many stories prevalent ii� a majority of modern school papers.” The suggestion is a valuable one and many magazines by following it. may become of more true worth to their school. However. Tripod, your suggestion by no means bars stories, yet your March Xumber 200 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR contained none, although your “History of the Banana” shows that you “practice what you preach.” The Windmill. Manlius, X. Y., has a particu- larly attractive cover; its jokes are good, and its cuts novel and appropriate. “Who’s Who in College” is an excellent idea. Your “Society” column is especially well written. The exchange department, however, is not fulfilling its pur- pose in exchanging jokes and omitting all criti- cisms. And where are your editorials and stories? The editorial column of the Hebron Semester is a column with a purpose, flic point of view taken, is not. to quote the Dean Megaphone, “that of a moralist making an eloquent sermon on the failings of his classmates.” The editors plea for responsibility in upper classmen, and democracy and “Hebron spirit” throughout the school is sincere and spirited, and far superior to the average editorials in school magazines. Column cuts would add to the attractiveness of this paper. The “Humorous Number” of the Academic Observer. Utica, X. Y.. was indeed a success. Among its eight pages of “Academites” arc the best jokes of this month's exchanges. Why do you curtail vour exchange column, and omit en- tirely your alumni department? Among the few well-proportioned magazines is the C rescent. Buxton. Maine; its various de- partments are all complete and well written. If more pupils could take the point of view of the author of “The Practical Value of Latin.” what an Elysium a Latin class would be for the teacher! The Menomite, Mcnomonic. Wis.: Your column cuts are the best feature of your maga- zine ; they arc witty and original. Your other departments show ability that should result in a better developed literary department. The Stylus, Taunton High School: While your seventeen pages of advertisements show that you have an unusually enterprising advertising manager. This section is not in proportion with the length of the other departments. Your column of jokes is excellent, but. since you have a column of this sort, why not let it contain all the jokes, rather than have them scattered through the other departments? Where are your alumni notes and cuts? The Habit. Salina High School. Kansas, a magazine printed by the students in the press- room of their school is a credit to its young publishers’ ability. It is a finely edited paper, proportionate in all its departments. “Gram- mar School Notes” is an original column. We agree with the Centralian, Conway, Arkansas, that the “hap-hazard method of scattering jokes- through the different departments” is undesir- able; for example, your Ford story,” although an excellent one, detracts from the purpose of your calendar. The Centralian’s suggestion applies also to the Lowell High School Review; its offense is more serious than that of the Habit, for it scatters its advertisements among its stories, editorials and other columns. It is to be congratulated on its extensive advertising department, but it would be better form to keep this material sep- arate. Why do you combine your alumni and society notes? The two columns are important enough to occupy separate departments. “Conductor.” inquired the nervous old lady, “which end of the car do I get off at?” “Either end,” replied the conductor, politely,. “Both ends stop.” —Ex.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 201 After a few short weeks of practice the pro- spective line-up of the baseball team has been determined by Coach Saunders and Captain “Hill” Fitzgerald. About fifty men came out, and after a few days of practice in the armory, journeyed up to the field. Although the work of “Jim” Robertson at first will be greatly missed and of 1 larrv at catch, the team has some good material for another championship. “Ned” Keating, the well-known punter on the football team will do the catching and seems to handle the bat like a veteran. Captain “Billy” Fitzgerald, the most famous pitcher in Greater Boston, will do the pitching or play in the field. “Tony” Bianchi. also well-known in baseball from last year, and from football the past two years, will play the first sack. The change from left field to first seems to be a wise one. Morrison, a new man, looks pretty good for second. Ford, well-known from the past two years at shortstop will again fill this position. “Frankie” Downing, captain of hockey, and the greatest schoolboy player on skates, will again fill his position at third. Keep it up, Frank, vou need a sixth sweater, as well as the fifth. McCarthy wilt play the “left garden” position. John St. Angelo, the Alewifc brook splasher will again keep the grounder from rolling by second. “Hill Bigely looks pretty good for Jimmie Hvdes’s position. You have got to do some batting. Bill. Tibbetts and Manson from last year, along with Kelleher, will complete the pitchers, and French and Dearborn will help out Keating. Everybody get one of the season tickets for only “fifty cents.” and help win another cham- pionship. Keep these home dates in mind and don’t plan to take your lessons on these dates. The team needs the help and you need to give it. Also show the other teams what we can do in cheering. Here are the dates:— April 11—Cambridge Latin at Somerville.

[Continued from page IDOl When I arrived with Mrs. Askin I saw an in- terested and silent group around the body. When Mrs. Askin saw the body she did not quiver, but stood the test bravely, and looked the group straight in the eyes. “Now.” began Inspector Perry, last night you left your house, and followed Miss Atwood here, and shot her with this revolver. Is it not so?” 1 admit all,” replied Mrs. Askin, but the shooting part. 1 did not use the revolver at all.” Then.” harshly began Inspector Perry, “ex- plain how there happens to be one cartridge missing in this revolver.” As he said this his eyes sought the group with a triumphant glance. I used that one day last summer when I killed a mad dog on the lawn,” returned Mrs. Askin. ■ A likely story” granted the inspector harshly, '1 guess we had better take you----------.” 'Just one moment. quietly interrupted my uncle. I am ready to prove that Mrs. Askin did not murder Miss Atwood. Immediately all eyes were focused on my uncle. First, began he. Miss Atwood was in the employ of Brattle Joyce. Portland. Maine, and was a spy from that firm endeavoring to obtain a copy of the invention which was to be perfected today, for her. firm, 1 obtained tlr 5 information from these papers which 1 found in tile heels of her shoes. Last night Miss At wood was at Mr. Askin's house, and in older to get a complete copy of the invention bd re it was perfected today, she had t return to the laboratory under the pretext of getting h-.r coat. She did. and to save detection from what she was doing she lit a match drcctly over the two explosives 11 this bench to read tlie charts. Startled by Mrs. Askin's foot steps she accidently dropped the lighted match into the explosives. Then there was a dull ex- plosion that tlie Watchman heard. Note the powder dust over the walls and floor. The force of the explosion blew this small iron boiler on the shelf ab vc t pieces, and s me of these pieces lodged in the wall on the op- posite side as you will notice. Others tore the window-blind, as you also may see. and one of them, the size of a bullet, went through Mbs Atwo. d’s head, killing her instantly. If Miss Atwood had been killed by a bullet from Mr. Askin’s revolver the wound would have been much larger. Also, there would n h he t le powder stains on Miss Atwood's domes, or the explosion that the watchman heard, for Mr. As- kin's revolver is a noiseless automatic. Thus, gentlemen. Miss Atwood met her u-aih ir :n an explosion due to her own carclcssnc-' 'di- attempting to steal valuable information fr v. Mr. Askin’s chats. This leaves Mrs. Askin en- tirely guiltless. One evening soon after Mrs. Ask'.tt had .- n acquitted, and the newspapers had contradicted their former statements, my unce air; I were seated in the former’s office. W e went over the case in detail, impressing on my mind the im- portant part of observation play.. ;n any man's life. At the conclusion he said in a good- natured voice, “I have two tickets for the Cort. and as we both need a change. I advise you to get your hat and coat.

The latter consisted of a mother and daughter, one of those old-fashioned mothers, whose inter- ests are centred wholly in her home and its surroundings, and the daughter a beautiful girl about nineteen or twenty, was her great- est enjoyment, her constant watch and care. For several years. Dorothy, for that was the girl’s name, had scarcely enjoyed herself, al- though she was ever bright and cheerful. Life seemed to her a hopeless burden, a fact which she carefully concealed from her ever-atten- tive mother. She was despondent: she had no companions: she could not enjoy the wondrous beauty of nature about her home in the beau- tiful country, she was unable to visit the city for it would do her no good; she was blind. Xevertheiess, she enjoyed herself in her own confined way and with the aid of a leash and a large shepherd dog. her only companion, she was able to go about the grounds belonging to her own home and those of the neighboring estate, to enjoy the sweet-scented air and warm sunshine, and to gather flowers from the many-laden bushes to which the faithful dog invariably led her. This neighboring estate, of which we make mention, was well cultivated as to gardens and flowers, and was quite extensive. At present it was occupied by a few relatives of the own- er, who had not been there himself since he was a small boy. taking no interest in it. but allow- ing it to be cared for by these relatives. Doro- thy’s father, when living, had had some inter- ests with the previous owner and as a result of their business together he had obtained the now-comfortable situation of his family. De- spite the fact that there was considerable room about her own home, Dorothy preferred to wander about the grounds of her neighbor, and. as trespassing was not forbidden, she roamed about at random, although always re- lying upon her dog for guidance. At this same time of which we are speak- ing. a wealthy young gentleman of London, Richard Manning by name, had had the mis- fortune to be seriously burned in a fire, and was at present leaving the hospital, his face horribly scarred for life. Feeling the need of exercise he alighted from his cab for a stroll in the park, and for a while, in the enjoyment of his walk, he quite forgot his affliction until about to greet a friend, who, to his astonish- ment. passed without a sign of recognition; then, suddenly remembering, he hurried on without offering greetings to anyone, which, to a man of his accustomed popularity, was es- pecially disheartening; but the greatest blow of all came. when, in stopping to pat the heads and speak kindly to three small children, as was his custom, they fled in terror to their guardians on nearby settees. A deep blush of mortification enhanced his features, and rising hastily he hurried to his luxurious apartments. When alone, lie pondered over his present situ- ation. Of course, it was useless to attempt to remain in London society, in such a pitiable condition: such business as he had in the city must be disposed of. and. hard as it would all be. he must leave his former friends and asso- ciates. rather than be lowered in attempting to thrust himself upon them, knowing that he would be unwelcome. Rising, he gave word to the effect that his belongings should be packed immediately, but, —and he paused a moment; in his haste and disgust he had completely forgotten to think of his present destination. Ah! lie had it. just the thing, he would retire to his country-estate. “Let me see.— I was there last, -about fifteen years ago.” he mused. Xevertheiess he would go to live there now. although to retire at such a young age was to him. very distasteful. “Rut. perhaps.” he thought. “I could write books or do something else to make my time profitable.” At any rate, he could not remain in London and he would therefore go to his country es- tate. and lie dismissed the subject from Ins mind, after first seeing that word was for- warded to the country, announcing his inten- tions. One August jnorning, about two weeks later, one of those mornings whose coolness and pleasantness forecast a hot mid-day and which stirs the soul of everyone into activity, especi- ally if living in the country. Dorothy was roaming about the pleasant woodlands of the 210 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR adjacent estate, which estate, by the way. was none other than that belonging to Manning. The girl, laughing joyously, and the clog straining at his leash, together they came down a narrow high-hedged path and the canine came to a stop before a small lattice-worked summer house, set back a few paces from the path, upon a little knoll and almost entirely hidden by the tall bushes and luxuriant shrubbery which grew all about it. A short (light of four or live steps led up to it. and comfortable seats could be seen within, while its circular roof and latticed sides lent a pleasant shade, and the many clamboring vines and fragrant flowers made it an ideal retreat for any one of a romantic or poetical nature, or to any one who appreciated extreme quiet and tranquility. As noon was approaching and the day was gr. wing hotter, this cool-looking little structure must evidently have had some attraction for Shop, for he immediately signified his inten- tion of investigating by hurrying up the steps, Dorothy following. As she reached the centre of this small flight, the dog. for some reason or other, changed his mind about entering, and turning suddenly, dashed back down the steps and into the hedge that fringed the short path to the house. This sudden turn of the dog's direction wrenched the leash from Dorothy’s grasp, and for the moment she was frightened and entirely at loss as to what move to make. She knew she would not be lost, for the intelligent ani- mal would undoubtedly return for her. when he missed her. but she disliked the idea of waiting for his probable lengthy return. Re- lieving that he was doubtless nearby, she called to him several times. “Here. Shep,—Here Shep. This way. old fellow.” and indicated the direction by snapping her lingers, but the dog had either left the vicinity or paid no attention to her pleadings, and she resumed her en- treaties in a louder tone. Manning, who had looked over his estate for practically the first time, not having seen it since he was a small boy, had found many things of particular interest, among them be- ing this same small summer house, which he had started to tit out as a sort of study in which to commence his writings. This morn- ing as he was wandering about in an exuberant manner.—-free from any care or toil, free from responsibility and worry, free from staring glances of curious people, he was extremely happy, and only blamed himself for not hav- ing come there sooner, but then, he never knew that the small estate, which was among his possessions, was anything like this. As he came along the grassy edge of the path, a few yards from the turn that led to the summer house, he was startled at hearing a rustling noise seemingly made by some animal, and he quickly drew back against the hedge as a large dog, with leash dragging, hurried past. Manning was surprised for the moment as he was quite sure that no one at the house owned such a dog. He stepped quickly upon the dragging leash which brought the dog to an abrupt stop. Half expecting to be attacked. Dick’s surprise in- creased when the canine turned, and without the slightest expression of enmity, came to- wards him. sniffing about his shoe tops, as if desiring of becoming acquainted. The brute's curiosity satisfied, he proceeded to sit down at Manning’s feet, and letting his tongue fall from his mouth, seemed quite contented to await further developments. Removing his font from the leash and patting the dog’s head meanwhile. Manning was about to speak to him. when he'«heard a voice calling to some- one and somewhat startled, he listened for a repetition of the sound. Jumping up quickly, the dog listened for a moment, with ears raised, and then darted quickly forward in the direction of the voice. Manning following cautiously, holding tightly to the dog’s collar. As he approached the edge of the tall hedge which turned towards the house at this point, he was greatly surprised to see a young lady standing on the steps of his future study, her form bent slightly forward, with one arm ex- tended. first calling to her pet and then listen- ing eagerly for some indication of his return. Manning was about to step forward and re- turn the dog when he suddenly bethought him- self of his misfortune, and pausing abruptly, he stepped quickly back behind the hedge. In his condition she would doubtless not care to see him. he thought, and he did not wish further humiliation. He wondered who she was. In his two weeks there he had not seen or even heard of her. 11 is wonderment then turned to admiration as he delightfully re- called her pleasing appearance. Although he had caught but a momentary glance of her face, it was enough to satisfy him that she was extremely prettv. What should he do? He glanced at the dog who sat at his feet, re- garding him intently. This dog was evidently hers, and she called him Shep, and he smiled to himself. Quite an appropriate name, he SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 I thought. Well, lie would not show himself, lie decided, but would thrust She]) forward in her direction and when she saw him she would doubtless secure him again. He was about to take recourse to this plan of action and then leave the immediate vicinity, but his first glance tempted a second and this time he quite forgot himself as his attention was wholly taken in admiration of his strange trespasser. How lonely he felt himself at this moment! I low- lie wished for just such an acquaintance as this! As he gazed at her rapturously, taking care to keep himself hidden, lie thought that there seemed to be something peculiar about her. How uncertain her actions seemed! For a moment her attitude puzzled him, but her next movement convinced him that she was blind. In attempting to descend the short, flight, she cautiously placed one foot forward, searching about for the lower step. Hurrying forward, in case she should make a false step, Manning doffed his cap politely, a gallantry unseen, and with a pleasant ‘‘Good morning.” he proceeded to help her to the ground. Apologizing for taking the liberty, he intro- duced himself, after first returning the dog and explaining how it came into his possession. At first, she seemed a little afraid, but after hearing who her new acquaintance was. she gradually became reassured. One thing led to another; they talked of the weather, of the dog. of that particular section of the country, and of various other minor casualties, merely for the sake of talking, and they were soon chatting quite gaily. Manning, without mak- ing mention of the accident which he had suf- fered. explained his intention of living in the country thereafter. Dorothy told of her daily walks, explaining her presence at the summer- house; of her present affliction, of her home and mother, and as noon approached, they fin- ally walked slowly away together. After parting a few paces from Dorothy’s home, she spent the remainder of the afternoon in reviewing her experience of the morning. She even tried to recall all that he had said, and tried to picture him in her mind as she thought a man possessing his gentlemanly de- meanor and extreme courtesy must be. Other than her mother, for a long time she had not had a companion, and the remembrance of the few pleasant moments she had spent that morning thrilled her through and through, and she clapped her hands for joy in anticipation of coming meetings. As Manning thoughtfully wended his way back home, his mind was constantly dreaming of the girl he had just left. What a fine young lady she was! He thought in all his social life in the city, he had not met a girl whose per- sonality was more pleasing. He sincerely hoped that they would meet again: in fact he proposed to make it his business to sec that they did. As every man holds a greater love for a woman and feels a greater sense of pro- tectorship for one who appears weak and in- capable of being left to her own devices, so Manning felt that he liked her the better be- cause of her affliction, and despite his con- scientious belief to the contrary, he was not sure that he was sorry because she was blind. Suffice it to say that they not only met again, but several times, and took long walks to- gether. during which Manning told her many stories of the great cities and their wonderful sights; such stories as brought tears to her eyes because she knew that she could never behold these many wonderful things, and Man- ning. try as he might, in his happiness, could not make himself believe that he was sorry be- cause of her blindness. Their mere acquaintance soon became an in- timate friendship, and then ripened into some- thing more, and two years later the inevitable had happened and they had been happily mar- ried and the small child which they possessed, was a source of great pride and enjoyment to the father: and the mother, although extremely happy in her new home, and in her husband, who was ever kind and attentive, constantly longed for her sight that she might behold both her husband and the baby, which she con- stantly kept near her, administering every care of a loving mother. She sometimes expressed this wish, and Manning, who possessed any- thing but a selfish nature, almost felt a self- dislike growing within him, as he at times found himself involuntarily feeling glad that she was blind, and therefore unable to see his ugliness. He tried to banish the feeling and make himself wish that some miracle would restore her eyesight, but somehow he could not succeed in placing the thought uppermost in his sympathies. As time went slowly on. one bright morning in June, a letter arrived at Manning’s home from one of his friends in London. After the usual greetings and information the letter went on to say :— “Hut Dr. Harvey’s health is beginning to fail and the sort of place to which he needs to go is exactly the kind of place which you own. Knowing that you could easily accommodate him I have sent him there and he is at present 212 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR on his wav. He is a college chum of mine and an favor which you may be able to do him will be greatly appreciated by me,—etc.” Manning immediately made ready to enter- tain his guest, and the next morning as he sat with Dorothy on a comfortable seat in his ex- tensive gardens a tall, pleasant-faced individ- ual. carrying a dress-suit case and a cane, came around the corner of the rose-bushes, and see- ing the two. he turned and came towards them, and by the card which he offered. Manning saw that it was the doctor. Harvey was not at all surprised at Manning’s appearance, as their mutual friend had ex- plained to him the accident which Dick had suf- fered. but on being introduced to Manning’s wife, whom he saw to be blind, he was greatly struck with the odd singularity of this happy pair. During the short chat which followed. Harvey could not help admiring Manning’s pretty wife, and for a person possessing her lady-like attitude and courtesy, to be blind was indeed a shame, he thought, and an inter- est in her affliction was awakened within him. Needless to say. Harvey’s time at the coun- trv estate was far from dull or uninteresting. There were many points of interest and places of beauty to be seen in the surrounding country, and Harvey took advantage of these pleasant walks and took many a long drive over the beautiful country roads. On the whole, he rather enjoyed his stay and only wished that the time he had set for his departure might ar- rive slowly. He had become greatly attached t Dick and his wife and the latter’s blindness constantly weighed on his mind. Although not an eye specialist, he had quite a large knowledge of optical work, gained through some study on the subject, and through his other practices; and only a few days ago, on hearing Dorothy express her one wish, that she could sec her child, he had curiously con- ducted a slight examination, the results of which led him to believe that with a little proper treatment, her eyesight might be re- stored. I bis morning, as he sat in a large porch chair, with his chin in his hands, in a medita- tive position, his mind was filled with thoughts of attempting to cure this dreadful catastrophe, one of the greatest afflictions which can come to a person. Hut he thought more of Manning than he did of Dorothy: he was positive that she knew nothing of her husband’s predica- ment. as Harvey learned that Dorothy had been blind for years, and had known Manning but little more than two. He would have broached the subject of at- tempting to relieve her. before, if he was sure of Manning's approval. Of course, he did not expect Dick to positively refuse, such an atti- tude to be expected, never occurred to him. If to be a benefactor to one. he must spoil the happiness of the other, he would cease to en- tertain the idea of such a delicate undertaking rather than receive the reluctant consent of Manning. But there were many possibilities in this case and many things to consider. They presented themselves to Harvey’s mind in this way. Here was a man. one of the best hearted men who ever lived. In his condition he would never have though of getting married if fate had not placed a blind girl in his way. She knew nothing of his outward appearance and admired him. He knew of her affliction, but loved her just the same. They lived happily now: would they if the wife could see her hus- band? This was the important question, but Harvey fully believed that Mrs. Manning was not the kind of person to readily forget all that she owed to Manning, and the more he thought of the beautiful blind girl, the more he wished to do all in his power to rid her of her suffering, for. knowing that it was doubtless possible for him to restore her sight, he felt bound to do so. but--------. At that moment, on raising his head, he noticed Manning ascending the steps at the further end of the semi-circular piazza. Manning evidently had not noticed the doctor, for he took a seat in a large wicker rocker be- fore a reading table on that side of the porch and proceeded to make himself comfortable. Harvey, his mind fully made up. rose and walk- ing slowly to the other side of the wide piazza, he approached his host and taking a seat beside him said very quietly. “Dick, if you think that it would not affect your future happiness. I am of the opinion that your wife can be cured.” Manning started visibly: his brow contracted, he tried to hide his surging feelings. He had never thought of this possibility. He was greatly troubled. Was all the past to be for aught? Was their now happy home to be di- vided? And his child, what about him? His heart ached at the very thought. His own selfish desires tried to make him answer that he feared such an undertaking was doubtless impossible and might prove fatal to his wife, and thereby dismiss the subject. Hut how could he give such an answer with any degree of consciousness? What right had he to de- prive her of such a blessing? Many such SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2,3 thoughts filled his troubled mind. He began to take her feelings into consideration. How much it would mean to her! What great hap- piness it would mean to her! What if he did suffer? Would she not be happy? This thought alone ought to shape his answer. Har- vey said nothing but watched him intently. At this moment Manning’s senses returned as if from leave of absence. What of it. if his own happiness was spoiled, he had hcr’s to think of. He would place his own feelings aside in this matter. Besides, he was doing Dorothy a great injustice to suppose for a moment that she would do otherwise than pity him and sym- pathize with him. rather than rebuke him and forget his past kindnesses. deep blush overspread his face. He was greatly ashamed for having hesitated so long over such a question; a question which should have required not a moment’s hesitation: a question, if answered other than lie had de- termined to answer it. would haunt him the rest of his life. Rising, he Clasped Harvey's hand warmly and with tears in his eyes, he said gratefully. “By all means attempt to re- store her sight, and may God help you to suc- ceed.” and turning quickly away, he left the porch. Harvey gazed after him admiringly, then turning, opened the door and entered the house to make known his intentions. Dick Manning, despite his changed view of things, spent a troubled week and almost dreaded the day when the operation should be completed. At times, he almost felt himself hoping that the undertaking would prove un- successful. in spite of his greatest efforts. The day for the removal of the bandages at length arrived, and Manning, much as he dreaded the trying ordeal, entered the room slowly to witness the results of Harvey’s earn- est endeavors. The doctor was fussing over a small shaded lamp which stood on a table littered with all sorts of knick-knacks, powders, perfumes, photographic supplies and other things which seemed to collect there. Whatever Harvey was doing, Manning did not know. The baby was lying in the bed be- side its mother, whose head was swathed in heavy bandages. The room was very dark and Harvey lit the lamp which he had succeeded in fixing, and then proceeded to unwrap the long bandage. Manning sobbed softly to himself as he knelt by the bedside, his head bent forward in his hands as if to hide his tace. Emailv the last bandage was removed, but Dick did not raise his head to see. Dorothy sat suddeniv upright in the bed. unable to accustom herself for the moment to the new sensation. The first object her eyes discerned was the baby, which was lying beside her in the bed. With a short cry of joy. she clasped it in her arms and pressed it to her breast. Harvey’s heart leaped with joy at his success. Mannings heart tried to. but sank within him as he real- ized that the operation was successful. Clasping the child tightly. Dorothy’s eyes wandered from it for a moment as, if to take in the other contents of the room. Maiming dared not raise his head for fear of witnessing the surprise and horror of the patient. But it must come some time, he thought, why not now ? Suddenly there was a blinding flash, either from the lamp, the flashlight powder, the chemicals, or something else on the table, just what was not immediately ascertained. Doro- thy sank back on the pillow, and Manning, very much surprised, rose quickly and bent over her. His heart rose as rapidly as it had previously sank, and a great load seemed lifted from his mind. Something tried to tell him that he was glad, but his conscience told him that he was sorry, fter a hasty examination. Harvey sadly announced, The sight is gone forever. ’ Manning sank back again on his knees before the bed and wept freely, whether from joy or sorrow, he knew not. but he hoped it was the latter. Dorothy, whose true self Manning did not know, only exclaimed. I am satisfied, I have seen my baby. Camo IRoutuic flu a ©iii’s Ganm .H5 ? E orotb ID. iRanfcin, 1(3 313. HE word “routine” sounds monoto- nous. Camp life, however, in pleas- ant surroundings is far from mo- notonous. It is a contiuous round of unexpected events, some of which arc pleasant, others a bit disconcerting, perhaps. Environment is a primary influence in the life of the individual. Therefore, that the majority of happenings may be pleasant, it is necessary to select a pleasing environment. If a child was obliged to choose between a ten- dollar gold piece and a red and white pepper- mint stick, he would doubtless choose the latter. 214 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR That toothsome dainty would represent to him an hour's blissful, if sticky, enjoyment. 1 o an older, more discriminating person the gold dollar w, uLl receive its tree appraisement. Thus, be- fore delving deeply into the mysteries of camp routine choose the place with a true value. The camp with which this theme will deal largely is situated on the bank of Long Lake. Maine. This camp consists of a kitchen and dining bungalow and several groups of sleeping tents. The sleeping tents may be drawn by lot or as- signed by the guardians, each of whom has charge of a few girls. Happy is the individual who becomes possessor of a tent next to the cookee’s domain. Dreams and visions of extra cookies, cake, tarts and other goodies after taps, hold sway in that individual’s mind. Cruel is the awakening, therefore, when these raptuous delusions are dispelled, which is the case almost immediately. The hard-hearted cooky goes calmly to sleep each night, leaving the longing camper longing in vain. The appetite is whetted in the outdoor air by the scent of the food cooking over the camp-fire. It is a novel sight to see the cook toss the ap- petizing flap-jacks high into the air. catching them skilfully with the reverse side up; to see the corn pones taken hot from the ashes of the lire; to see the baked beans taken well-cooked from the hidden bean-hole. The three meals served daily arc very simple. Breakfast consists of some kind of cereal, hot muffins or gems, eggs in some form, and fried potatoes. At dinner meat or fish form the main portion of the menu, while several vegetables are served as side dishes. A light dessert (on Sun- days. ice cream, concludes the bill-of-fare. Sand- wiches or bread-and-butter, sauce or preserves, cakes and milk constitute the supper. Promptly at seven o’clock each morning the sleeeping campers arc roused from their peace- ful slumbers by the sound of the bugle, blowing reveille. Then follows a hurried scramble into bathing suits, preparatory to the morning dip. On rainy mornings may be heard wide-spread protest as the shivering owners don their rain soaked garments. One and all race down to the wharf for calisthenics. The teacher gives orders smiles, scolds and dismisses her pupils, who rush joyously to the edge of the wharf and plunge into the cold, invigorating water. After five minutes the girls arc ordered out of the water until the swimming hour, and they race back to their tents to prepare for breakfast. During the hour following the morning meal, each individual has a particular duty to perform. The easiest task, certainly, is that of the camp supervisor, who spends this hour practising scales and trills in singing or fingering piano selections upon that noisily protesting instru- ment. When the camp grounds have been put in order for the day. the bugler blows the assem- bly call for the girls to gather at the bungalow. Two from the number fetch the basket balls, volley balls, nets, tennis racquets and balls. The supervisor of the athletics blows a whistle! All proceed to the athletic field for an hour’s skir- mish and practice. Athletics is generally pleasing to all persons, but the next hour’s employment is carefully avoided by the unskilled. This employment is basketry. The beautiful visionary baskets of one’s imagination become unrecognizably dis- torted under the needle of the fair visionary. Basketry is certainly disappointing to amateurs. The next hour is most enjoyable. Dinner is served! All is harmonious if “Pigletts,” the camp’s champion eater does not get “the biggest dish” of dessert. If “Pigletts” does get the big- gest dish. “Squabletts” immediately makes a most emphatic protest. When the atmosphere has cleared “the biggest dish” is empty, while several of the diners wear sly, contented smiles. Such vigorous exercise demands relaxation. Thus, the guardians lead their respective charges to their tents for a rest hour. During this spe- cial time one may write letters, read, sleep or meditate. Boating is a popular recreation in the summer camp near or on a lake or river. In this par- ticular camp, on Long Lake, the requirements for the privilege of going out in a canoe without a guardian are very rigid. The candidate for this privilege must pass difficult tests. First, she must swim at least five hundred yards with- out touching land. Second, she must swim around a canoe at a depth of ten feet or more. I bird, she must save herself when unexpectedly tipped out of a canoe by a guardian, and if pos- sible. right the canoe and tow it to land. The row boats may be taken merely on request, and it is certainly good for the development of muscles to row a mile or so. This exercise also aids in the development of blisters on the hands, uncomfortable cumbrances. to be sure, but glo- rious signs of honest toil to the proud wearer. Folk-dancing is also allotted a portion of time. Although numerous campers execute the dances gracefully, the majority execute them most pain- fully. I he Highland Ming” is most popular with the tall girls, whose especial delight is a series of laughable hops. “The Swedish Dance. with 11K sliding steps, delights the short-limbed feminines, whose glides are most difficult to distinguish from the prolonged hops of the “Highland Fling” enthusiasts. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 : Those who do not enjoy the intricacies of dancing on an uneven bit � f ground may take nature walks. These walks are introduced to teach a wide knowledge of bird, fish, plant and animal life. Excellent opportunities are afforded for the pursuit of such study by the large wooded areas, extending from the shores of Long Lake to the farm lands. Horseback riding is also a popular exercise. Others may go fishing. English anglers some- times wade up a stream in fishing for trout, but a wise fisherman or woman in the United States will not undertake this proceeding if he or she wishes to obtain any fish. All out-of-door girls covet wisdom so they keep safely on the banks of the swift-flowing trout-streams and catch real fish which the boys can't laugh at. Following the evening meal certain commit- tees give entertainments, lectures or stunts “around the camp-fire.” Exciting ghost stories are told, amusing stunts take place, songs arc sung and clever tricks are performed. Fre- quently lectures are given by the instructresses. One of the most interesting lectures which can be given ’s on “first aid to the injured.” Artifi- cial respiration is explained with some long- suffering girl, impersonating temporarily the drowning person. Methods for the treatment of cuts, bruises, burns and dislocations arc un- folded. Elementary bandaging and the use of surgeon’s plaster are taught also, with the same drowning person, perchance now representing the victim of a speeding automobile. Mountain trips present an excellent oppor- tunity to study the stars and to make trails in the interesting primitive fashion. Trails are blazed in varied ways by mountain climbers. Two of the commonest are: first, to cut notches in the bark of trees, at evenly spaced distances. These notches should not be cut too deeply or they will hinder the growth of the tree. The second way is one which the American Indians used commonly. This is to place two stones on the ground about two inches apart, then place a third stone on top of the lower ones over the space. This device is repeated at even distances along the trail, making an extremely effective guide. -«� Camp life in the pure, fresh air greatly bene- fits health. It also strengthens the character of the fortunate individuals who “can learn and do,” for camp routine is not strict discipline, but a most excellent opportunity to learn by obser- vation and show others the benefits derived from out-of-door life. Ifceew ’er IRolltng JS 3obn Hi. ft rower, 17=H HE turmoil of revolution on Nicar- agua had prompted the United States government to order three regiments of marines to Mana- gua to protect foreign interests, and to hold the city neutral. Ac- cordingly. three thousand men. and a battery of light artillery. s' t sail from Newport News one April morning in the year 191—. A voyage of twenty-one days brought them into the harbor of Managua. Here General McGregor was welcomed by the tearful and distracted little president of the Nicaraguan Republic. His troops had been defeated at every turn and now only Managua and a small strip of the seacoast remained to them, but now that the Americanos had come, his troubles were over. The big khaki-clad giants disembarked from the transport, and swung off through the city to the big plaza, where they were to encamp before taking up their positions to preserve the neutrality of Managua. The marines were met with black looks, muttered oaths, and impre- cations at everv turn, and orders were strict that no trooper should venture beyond the lines without his bayonet. General McGregor immediately took up his headquarters in the City Hall, and began the occupation of the city. During the night, as fast as the general and his officers had covered a point on a large map of the city a bugle wot 1:1 snap out its insistent call and a company would cease its laughing, and talking about the fire, fall into line, and march quickly into the night to occupy some position in the eitv’s defenses. For the purpose of guarding the city’s supply of water, four miles outside the limits of Managua. General McGregor had se- lected Company B, Seventeenth Marines. These troops were veterans of two years in the Canal Zone and were commanded by Captain Walter Stanlcv. a thorough officer and fine gentleman. The general turned to his orderly and said: “Present my compliments to Captain Stanley. Blake, and ask him to report to me at once.” Blake let a stiff “Very good, sir.” saluted, swung on his heel, with mathematical precis- ion and was gone on his errand. In about fif- 2l6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR teen minutes Captain Stanley stood before the general. “You sent for me. sir?’ asked Stan- ley, respectfully, saluting. “Ah. yes. captain.” said McGregor, dropping a curt salute, and looking up from his papers. “I have a most important commission for you in this little enterprise of ours. You see.” he said, swinging to the military map on the wail, “we must keep this reservoir and line of railroad guarded for the entire water supply of Managua comes from those Fernandez Tanks, and this railroad is our line of communication to the north, as well as the only weak spot in our defenses. I shall allow you an engine, a coach, a flat car, and two machine guns. On no account are you to allow the capture of the tanks or the break- ing up of the railroad in your rear. This is dangerous business and I should send at least a batallion. but men are scarce, and I can de- pend upon Company 1� . ! know. That is all. Captain, only remember, keep that train roll- ing! Captain Stanley's eyes sparkled, and he was full of secret pride at being given such an important mission. He gave no utterance to his thoughts, however, but simply saluted, and asked: “When do we start. General?” “The first thing after breakfast.” replied General Mc- Gregor. “The train with detail from the Third Artillery and machine guns, will be on our siding at s.:lO, and I shall expect you to be on time.” With this the general signed him to go. Stanley saluted once more, and hurried off to impart the good news to his lieutenants and enlisted men. The next morning “B” Street was all bustle, the men struck their tents, drew extra rations and ammunition, packed their kits, and at eight o’clock were ready for business. The Assembly was blown by the bugler, and the company fell quickly into line, eager to be off. After a hurried inspection by Stanley, and the giving of last orders, the captain took his place at the head of the company, snapped out a sharp command, and the men swung off through the camp of the remaining marines, for the station. These great bronzed, healthy soldiers of the United States marched swiftly through a city closely guarded by the American marine. On everv corner could be seen the alert figure of a Yankee lad. trim in khaki, with the blue Springfield rifle, and shiny, ugly looking knife bayonet on his shoulder. As Company 1� swept by each one of these sentries, he brought his piece instantly down to present arms in salute. There was small danger of violence from within the city with these vigilant men watch- ing. The difficulty would arise from the over- whelming forces of the rebel leader. Madrc. in the hills back of Managua. This wily and cun- ning leader of the revolutionary forces had in- flamed his men with imaginary wrongs, and with the idea that the Americanos came to wrest all their beloved country from them. Company B arrived at last at the station, and entrained under the eyes of General McGregor, who had ridden down to see them off. Ahead of the engine was a flat car, mounted with the two wicked, black nosed, machine guns under the care of the eight men from the Third Ar- tillery. Captain Stanley promptly at S.30 gave a look up and down the platform. saw that all was well, and then gave the signal to the soldier engineer. With a hiss of releasing brakes, and the musical clink of the couplings, the train started for the tanks, amid the wild cheering of the troops. A twenty minutes’ ride brought them to the reservoir, siuated on a low hill, overlooking the Tampico River. Here for the next two days the marines occupied themselves by keep- ing a vigilant watch for the rebels, intrenching themselves strongly on the side of the tanks, and keeping the machine gun train running continuously between Managua and the tanks. On the third day Captain Stanley spoke briefly to his men. “Xow lads, we are due for a visit from those rebels very soon; they know we hold the key to the city, and will fight hard for it. I expect every man to do his duty, and should anything happen to me. remember Lieutenant Burgess here, is in command. But above all things, boys, ‘Keep ’er rolling’!” The marines answered this little speech with a cheer and went about their tasks in the trenches with great vigor and good will, show- ing their American spirit and discipline in its true light. Stanley and his officers were engaged in a conference in the former’s tent, a short while afterward, when shots were heard near the outposts, and a corporal, with a bloody bandage on his wrist came running in and reported breathlessly that “about two hundred black and tans had driven in the outposts.” The as- sembly was instantly blown at the captain’s order, and the men dove for the trenches. By the time Stanley had arrived, the men were all in position, giving a last look to their am- munition and equipments. In one corner, elevated a little from the rest of the fortifi- cation. was the first sergeant with one of the machine guns between his knees, fondling it lovingly, turning a knob here, and adjusting a set screw there, until all was in readiness. After the Captain vaulted lightly into the trench, and had given a quick look around him, be said “Remember, men. don’t fire until I give the word. Xow load!” A rattle of opening SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR breach locks, the clink of steel cartridges against the magazine, and the snap of the bolts shot home rolled down the line, then all was (jiiict. The men settled back on their rifles and waited, some nervous, some intensely keen and wide awake, others calm and smiling, but all on the alert for the rebels, and for the cap- tain’s order. A few scattering shots now came from the jungle below, swelling gradually into a con- tinuous roll, and sweeping the hillside with its fury. l'he marines looked eagerly to Stanley for permission to fire, but still he restrained them. Now. from the undergrowth burst the yelling, howling, mob of Mad re's rebels, in- flamed with native lupior, and with a wild de- sire to kill an Americano pceg. Captain Stan- ley waited until the host started to ascend the hill. “Now, boys.” he shouted, “give it to ’em.” The sergeant, bending over the machine gun. snapped the control switch, and the little weapon began pouring its song of death into the brown ranks below. At the same instant the crash of eighty Springfields spit a hail of steel jacketed bullets into the rebels. This volley was followed instantly by a continuous roll of magazine fire. The front of the rebel mob broke, and melted away, under this deadly fire, while the ground in front of the hill was covered with bodies, some lying quiet, as if felled by some gigantic club, while others were writhing in the agony of their wounds. The charge was broken and repulsed for the mo- ment. and the marines ceased firing at a sign from their captain. ----------- -17 “Just a minute, lads,” called Captain Stanley, “we have beaten them off for the time, but their next charge will be the big one, and we must not let them cross the river, as the city is doomed if we do. When these natives get close, as they are hound to, now our machine gun has jammed, give them a taste of c Id steel, keep together, and above all things ‘keep 'er roll- ing’! ith a shout, the men whipped out their glittering bayonets and fastened them to their rifles. Stanley’s order had hardly been carried out. when a perfect hail of musketry was delivered at the trenches, and another rush was started by the rebels for possession of the hill. The marines shot fast and with deadly accuracy, but the charge had four times the impetuosity and numbers of the former, and the marines were deprived of the support of their machine gun. The two waves, brown and white met. and it was a hand to hand fight between the hardy well-trained American against the demon Nicaraguan, fired to supernatural courage and strength by native whisky. The fight swayed back and forth for a few minutes, the disci- pline of the marines doing something against the great odds, but with half their number gone, it seemed as if they must be overwhelmed bv sheer force of numbers. The thin khaki line seemed to waver at last, but Stanley, who had been here, there, and everywhere during the combat, leaped to the threatened place, “Stand up to ’em.” shrieked he. hoarsely, emptying his [Continued on page 220.] Junior might The Junior Night held in the Somerville High School, Thursday, May 13, by the combined classes of 191 :-B and 1917-A. was a greater success than anticipated. The committee who deserve much credit, arranged a most interest- ing programme for the evening. The pupils en- tered the school by the main door, gathered in groups about the entrance, and had a social time until about six thirty. Then they were ushered into the school hall, received by the guests of honor, and conducted to the banquet hall below. between two and three hundred Juniors sat down to a delightful banquet, which lasted until seven forty-five. The jolly company then went to the school hall above where all enjoyed a play “Sally Ltm.” produced entirely with Junior talent, under the direction of Miss Raymond of the faculty. Too much praise cannot be given to the parti- cipants in this comedy, the energy and hearti- ness which all displayed' in carrying it along sliowe:! the true Somerville spirit. The play ended about nine-thirty, when the floor was cleared, and dancing enjoyed by all un- til eleven. The music for this was supplied by a group from the Somerville High School Or- chestra under the leadership of John Chipman, who supplied the music during the banquet. The committee worked hard to make this night a great success, and the energy and thoroughness with which they saw to the smallest of the many details won the hearts of the most sceptical and all voted it “the best time ever.” Following are the names of the com- mittee. 19HJ-B: Ruth Armstrong, Lois Bateman, Barbara Brainard.

The Eaton cottage was situated on the waterfront, commanding a magnificent view of the surrounding country.

The bend of the shoe was low. sandy shore, broken in its stretch by an occasional tide river, and boast- ing of such famous resorts as Ogunquit, York. Drake’s Island or Wells. Here and there a chain of reefs would lift their black tops from the broad Atlantic, and far to sea. like a fin- ger from the deep, rose the Light. The Cove lay hidden behind one of these rocky chains, and in an indentation of the coast. It was the middle of the forenoon when Van, his freckled face a picture of despair, hurried up the walk to the Eaton home. Peggy was busily engaged in sweeping the piazza steps. “Why, Van. what is the trouble?” “Hush! Not so loud! Where’s Joe?” “My brother took a pleasure party over to the Port. I don’t know when he’ll be back.” Van looked cautiously about him to make sure they were alone. “Peggy,” he began, “I’ve got something im- portant to tell you.” “If you’ll stop twisting that hat and sit down I’ll try to listen to you.” Complying to the request, he seated himself on the steps beside her. “Peggy, your brother’s going to run liquor ashore tomorrow night from the schooner Betsy Anne.” “You lie!” exclaimed the girl. “Hush! I’m telling you the honest truth. Listen, to save your brother from prison you must prevent that trip! Joe made a contract with a boss at K------to run occasional con- signments during the summer. Pete warned him last night that the Cove is being watched, but Joe is determined to make the trip anyway. He’ll surely get caught, which means jail for Pete and me—and your brother. Oh, can’t you stop Joe from going?” Peg rose and glared at the coward at her side. “Why can’t you stop him?” Van moved uneasily. “I pleaded with Joe last night not to go, after Pete’s warning, but he was determined to carry out his plans. We are sure to be caught, and, oh, Peg, 1 don’t want to go to prison!” “1 can’t stop Joe from going!” Peggy’s eyes filled with tears, and she thought she un- derstood now what was troubling her brother. “You must! Oh, Peggy, you must!” he pleaded. The girl forced back the blinding tears, and with an attempt at firmness, asked, “Why meet the schooner when you’re chances arc so un- certain ?” “Goodness knows, the chances arc slim enough, but that doesn’t seem to bother Joe,” grumbled the youth. “You see, the boat will have the goods aboard, and if we fail to meet her, there would be nothing left for the captain to do but throw the stuff overboard. He wouldn’t dare carry it into port again. “Has Joe ever smuggled before?” “No, this is the first time.” “I can’t believe my brother would do such a thing!” declared the girl. “Were you pres- ent when Joe made arrangements with the boss at K------ to undertake this trip?” “No, your brother and Pete told me later, and got me to help them.” “Yes. I understand!” returned Peg, thought- fully. “What arc the plans?” Van’s hopes arose, and with great eagerness he explained the secrets of the expedition. “You won’t tell Toe I told you?” anxiously inquired Van. as he finished his explanation. Peggy hesitated. “No, I won’t tell, but I can’t stop Joe from going.” The late afternoon found Peggy seated on the stern of one of the old boats, eagerly scan- ning the blue waters of the Cove for some sign of Joe and his boat. His mooring was still vacant. He had not returned to dinner, but that was nothing unusual, for often pleasure parties were gone for all day. There was, how- ever. the possibility of his having left the party at the Port: that Pete had joined him there, and that now they were lying low. waiting for darkness to shield their return. Perhaps Joe did not intend to return to the Cove before the venture, but would trust to the rocky shel- [Contiuueii uu SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 219 The Seniors greatly appreciate the fact that the Juniors held a banquet, entertainment and dance, thereby following the example of their superiors.

As you would assist the street cleaners by not throwing paper or orange peeling in the street so help the janitors of our school by at least keep- ing that bit of floor space under your desk free from the tiny pieces of paper which collect there during the day.

One criticism which is applicable to several of the papers is of the arrangement of the ex- change lists. So many have long lists of ex- changes, put down in no particular order, through all of which one must look to find any desired name. Why not arrange them all al- phabetically and add to the convenience of your readers. This hint applies particularly to Archon, Academic Observer. Dome. Lowell Re- view, Sassamon, School Life, and Shuttle. The spring number of the Fitchburg Red and Gray is certainly a credit to its school. Its Literary Department is excellent and abounds in splendid stories and poems. The store of editorials is unequalled in any paper we receive. The class notes, alumni notes, exchange and joke columns are all worthy of praise, and the systematic arrangement of all the material goes to make it an unusually superior publication. The Hilltop from Warren High School, is particularly good in its literary department. Its exchange criticisms are somewhat stingy, though, especially where it reserves a whole page for that department. The Erasmian is always a treat from its high class stories to its fine cartoons. We are exceedingly glad that the Beloit In- crescent has come to life again. We missed its February issue. The March publication is commendable and especially so, considering that the paper is laboring under the strain of competition. It seems a pity that the news of the Alumni and Exchange columns in the Dome should be so scarce. Surely the editors can muster more than five alumni items, and can at least venture a few criticisms of the exchanges received, in- stead of leaving from one-half to two-thirds of each of these pages blank. The Wilkinsburg Review seems quite com- plete. except for an exchange column. here is it. Review? 2 26 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Vanessa Blaisdell, S. II. S. 'll. is working for 1).

Rindge started out in the first inning and made two runs on hits by White, Sylvester, Cederstrand and Kelley, and an error by St. Angelo. Rindge scored again in the fifth, making a score of three to nothing. This “angered” St. Angelo so he started off by giving the ball a bath in the brook, making about his ninth this year. It certainly was a shame that the bases were not full, but this started something. In the last of the seventh Somerville tied up the score by some good hitting and an excus- able error by Rindge. Keating singled and was sent to second by Fitzgerald. Downing llicd out. Bigley singled to centre. Ford drove to right field, scoring Keating and Big- ley making the score three to three.

Fitzgerald was passed and the cheering began. Downing put one too swift for Silva at shortstop and he dropped it. thus filling the bases.

Newton’s winning run was made when Vachon the hard-hitting left fielder, hit a smashing double to the end of the field scoring Kellard. Keating showed up well behind the bat. and was responsible for three of Somerville’s runs.

A fisherman had just landed in a punt, and was coming up the beach. “Hello!” he exclaimed. “Watching for your brother?” “Good afternoon. Mr. Hatch! Yes, has Joe come in this noon?” The old man shook his head and turned his eyes seaward. “Here's a boat heading in now. and coming for all she's worth. That’s surely your brother’s for his boat is the speediest and only torpedo model in these waters.” Just outside the protecting reef a large white power boat was fast making for the Cove. Mr. Hatch and Peggy were not the only watchers at the cove. Two lobster men who had been busily engaged in mending some old traps be- came suddenly interested in the approaching power boat. “Yes.” affirmed Peggy. “Joe does own a nice boat, but I never saw him force his engines the way he seems to be doing today!” The boat had rounded the rocks and was entering the Cove channel.

Somerville played an errorless game, and Fitz- gerald’s pitching was wonderful, allowing only two hits. In the sixth inning Somerville collected three runs and easily took the game.

He well knew, as did Peggy, that the boat bore the adopted colors—yellow and white—of the revenue service. “You’re right, little gal!” he exclaimed, after a moment’s pause. “You’re right!” Abruptly he turned and joined the two lob- ster men. who, with several other old salts were also engaged in watching the boat. A carefully guarded conversation followed, but now and then an excited voice reached Peggy’s car. “Govevnpient!” exclaimed one. “Short lostcr!” said another, followed by silence as they became absorbed in the stranger. The craft was moving slowly now. and those on shore saw her signal to a small power boat containing a lone fisherman. A short conver- sation followed, emphasized with numerous gestures, then the two boats parted, and be- fore long the stranger swung at anchor with the tide. Peggy looked around. The fishermen had disappeared.

It was true, General McGregor's troops had been reinforced from the United States, and the wheezy little engine had hauled the whole Seventeenth Regiment to the tanks. They were even now swarming across the bridge, and dashing up the hill, itching to get at the rebels. The revolutionists also saw this, and made one last despairing effort to annihilate Company B. The marines stood panting, back to back, hacking, cutting, shooting right and left, and refusing to be carried away. The rebels paused, but they had waited too long, and a storm of nine hundred hardy boys in khaki burst upon them with a cheer. The revolution- ists at once took to their heels and fled, utterly demoralized, while the Seventeenth pursued them with great vigor. Company B leaned exhausted upon their hioody weapons and surveyed the scene of the combat. They had been utterly cut to pieces, as only twenty out of the eighty men that went to battle, were now capable of carrying arms. The fight and chase was over and the Seventeenth went wild over Captain Stanley, who only badly wounded, insisted upon sitting up and croaking hoarsely, “Never mind, boys, we kept’ er rolling.” Panoramic Views and Group Pictures by “Cirkut” Camera a Specialty S.

In imagination, let us stand for a lew min- utes in the switch tower of a railroad terminal yard. It is between live and six o’clock on a chilly, foggy, autumn evening. A thick gray blanket of mist hangs over the yard. The out- going trains, like long streams of light, flash swiftly by 11s and vanish into the blackness. Thousands of human beings, men. women ani children, have, for the time being, voluntarily placed their lives in the hands of the six. alert, tense men here in this small tower room whose duty it is to send out the trains below in safety. Their words arc spoken quickly, tersely, quietly. Their one thought is con- centrated on the duty before them. One false move would send disaster, injury and probable death to many of the men and women now be- ing transported over this maze and tangle of tracks. And so well is their work done that loss of life seldom occurs. Responsibility is the keynote of the situation. These men know their duty and they do it. They have a keen sense of responsibility: a quality without which they would be useless in this position which demands such alertness, self control, and judgment. I lie sense of responsibility is inherent in every human being, dormant in the ignoram, accentuated in the educated: acknowledged by some, ignored by others, yet ever present in all. and a possibility of power. This common, inherent sense is divisablc into three classes, namely: Physical. Mental and Moral responsibility. The child early learns to take pride in his strength—to match his strength with that of others. to feel scorn of weakness. This glory of strength and scorn of weakness is a strong factor in the sports of youth. It is not entirely the impulse to surpass, the wish to be first, to stand victor, that prompts the struggle for championships and makes the athlete endure the self sacrifice of long weeks of training. It is not merely the desire for money that sus- tains the newsboy as in the chill and darkness of a winter morning he delivers the newspapers which men will read in the warmth and com- fort of the breakfast table. In t!:e e and a hundred other cases the real spring of action, the motive power is the desire to develop the endurance and strength proper to a man—the same qualities which will go far towards giv- ing their possessors an honored place among the world’s workers. In the same way very early the child begins to feci responsibility for mental development. His tasks increasing in difficulty year by vear show him what progress he is making. Each new accomplishment is another power added In deveb pment. and we know, in : r hearts, t .day. tint those cages in the records i on. class in vonder office which show most traces of red ink arc regrettable not only for the de- gree to which they spell partial failure, but also, because thev show to the same degree weaklings, instead of the full measure of mental strength possible from the development by a high school course, and that the sense of responsibility for mental development has been dormant or stifled. In like manner the sense of moral responsi- bility very early appears. The child has many things left to discover along the pathway of 240 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR daily life, when he has learned, one some- times hardly knows how. that he must tell the truth, he must be honest alike in word and deed, he must “play fair.” and he insists that his playfellows and his instructors give him a “square deal.” This feeling of responsibility deepens as he matures and the ablest of the earth’s leaders have found no higher spring of action. When Daniel Webster was Secretary of State he was one day dining with some friends and was observed to be very silent and moody. In- effectual efforts were made to rouse him and at last one member of the party said, “Tell us, Mr. Webster, what was the greatest thought that ever occupied your mind?” Raising his head and casting a piercing glance around. Mr. Webster replied, “The greatest thought that ever occupied my mind was the thought of mv personal responsibility to God.” In the education that has thus far been ours, classmates, we have had many lessons along the three lines gf responsibility I have men- tioned. In our homes and by the lessons be- neath this roof we have been shown our duty to be physically strong, mentally alert, and morally clean. We have been preparing for broader lives and very soon we are to go forth to enter upon them. Some of our number will have a few more years of preparation, but the ma- jority go at once into the great perplexing world to seek their own life’s interests and tasks. The character of those tasks is less problematical than formerly. Twenty years ago Professor Palmer of Harvard in a Bacca- laureate address before the first graduating class of the Western Reserve University said: “Some of you who are going out into the world, will. I fear, find that the world is al- ready full. It has no place for you. It never anticipated your coming and it has reserved for you no corner. Your only means of gain- ing a corner will be by doing something better than the people who arc already there. Then they will make you a place. Can you make dresses well ? Can you cook a good loaf of bread? Can you write a poem or run a type- writer? Are you a master somewhere? If you are the world will have a place for you; and more than that you will have within you just grounds for self-respect.” Education has advanced in the two decades since those words were uttered and the City of Somerville now offers to her sons and daughters, opportunity to master some one thing for which the world will reserve a corner. Since America has no so-called “Leisure Class” it follows without argument that the larger part of the graduating class of any great High School like this of Somerville, will take places among the world’s workers. I need not urge that we work well. The rush of competition, the high cost of living, the mad pursuit of wealth will ensure that beyond a question. But a wise writer has said, “The god of labor does not abide exclusively in the rolling mill, the law courts or the corn field, lie has a twin sister whose name is ‘Leisure and in her society he lingers now and then to the lasting gain of both. Leisure has a value of its own. It is not the mere handmaid of labor. It is something we should learn to use—to cultivate— to enjoy. It is not a mere easy sauntering through life but a special form of activity employing all our faculties.” I urge, today, the claim of the avocation as well as of the vocation in well ordered lives such as are alone worthy for us to live. Do you ask what you shall choose for your avoca- tion ? Choose the thing you most enjoy— whether it be the musical instrument, the brush and pencil, the garden tool, the me- chanic’s outfit, the electrician’s battery —pur- sue it in such leisure as is yours, and it has sometimes happened that the avocation has developed what has proved to be the person’s best ability. A noteworthy example is the life of the late Francis Hopkinson Smith, author, artist and engineer. Mr. Smith was born in Baltimore, October 23. 1838. At the age of fifteen lie en- tered a preparatory school in Baltimore, in- tending to go to Princeton, but his father’s business reverses upset the plans and at sixteen lie was shipping clerk in a hardware store at $00 a year. Two years later he became as- sistant superintendent of his older brother’s Baltimore iron foundry, but with the advent of the Civil War the foundry closed its doors. For some reason he did not enter the war on either side and in 18G2 he had drifted north to Xew York with the prospects of the gloomiest. They were relieved when a family friend of- fered him a position in a Broad Street iron foundry and then at the age of twenty-five lie determined to become an engineer. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 24 1 There was no such technical preparation re- quired then as now and his knowledge of iron stood him in good stead. Starting at the bot- tom, in a few years he got into contract work and associated himself in a partnership. His first government contract was tor the stone ice breaker around the Bridgeport light- house. After that came many others, the greatest of which are the Block Island break- waters. the jetties at the mouth of the Con- necticut River, the Governors Island sea wall, the foundation of the Statue of Liberty, and the Race Rock Lighthouse off .Yew L n,1. Conn., which has come to be his most favored accomplishment. Thus his vocation developed and left to the world valuable engineering ac- complishments. Despite the fact that he was an exceedingly busy man. lie always had some leisure. The romance of engineering appealed to him strongly and he soon came to portray it. in his leisure, through an avocation, painting. Even as a boy. he had begun to paint and a taste of art seemed to be his inheritance, lie spent many pleasant hours with his brush and pencil with the result that his landscapes in water colors, his charcoal work and his illustrations came to be highly regarded. This avocation won him medals at numerous expositions, and he was awarded foreign orders and member- ship in American art associations and gained much popularity as a lecturer on art subjects. It was not until Mr. Smith was forty-five that he took up his second, and greater avoca- tion. namely writing. His works grew in popu- larity as he continued and the name F. Mop- kinson Smith has come to be a household word throughout the country, chiefly through his justly famed “Colonel Carter of Cartersville” JSy Curtis jf When do I love you most, sweet books of mine ? In strenuous morns when o’er your leaves I pore, Austerely bent to win austerest lore. Forgetting how the dewy meadows shine; ()r afternoons when honeysuckles twine About the seat, and to some dreamy shore Of old Romance, where lovers evermore as well as through a score or more volumes which are credited to his pen and attest his genius. And. today, we remember Francis II. Smith not so much for his vocation bv which he achieved a great engineering triumph as con- structor of the Race Rock Lighthouse, as for his avocations which developed his best ability and left to the world a touch of his noble personality and character. From the avocation comes self culture and it is self culture that warms the chilly soil where no good seed can otherwise mature. It is self culture that distinguishes between the work which has inherent and lasting value and the work which represents conscientious, activity and no more. The many jaded, half successful workers who rue in loud tones that they ever chose their present occupation represent not so much an error in choice, as the fact that human beings demand variety. The narrow circle of the dav's work shuts us in like a prison cell, uidc'S we can reach ut. through one avocation or another, the heart and hand of sympathy to new and previously unknown groups of our fellow beings until we include, at last, even the great round earth. Classmates: As we plant the ivy. a last me- mento of the class of 1915-B, let us plant within our hearts, to spring up in fadeless green, the resolution to show our appreciation to the city which has dealt so generously with us—the homes that love US—the instructors win se lex- sons we can never forget—by leading lives of energetic activity, of service to our fellow- beings. lives bearing the serious impress of our responsibility to ourselves, to our com- mv.nitv. to G d. and to our native land. %ove j0av, ’15 3S Keep blissful hours.

Skilled he was in all the learning Known to students of the time. “What avail is all his knowledge?” Quoth the people of that time.” Came a lad unto his doorway With the same desire as lie. Saying, “lake me in and teach me What has been, and is to be!” So the old man taught the stripling. Day by day his wisdom grew. Day by day he worked unceasing. To his master’s precepts true. Loud the people laughed and scornful; “He is but a fool!” quoth they, And they turned them to their reaping Where the yellow maize fields lay. Though the days went by full swiftly In that village by the sea. Still the lad stayed with the master. Saying. “Let me bide with thee.” Thus the time passed in the cottage. And the lad became a man. Fit to cope with life’s great struggles, Fit to rule as wise men can. Till at last there came a summons. Summons from the world outside. So at last he left the master. Through the world so fair to ride. “All 1 am. that ye have made me!” Cried he. as he rode away. All the world was bright before him. And his heart was blithe and gay. Dwelt the old man in his cottage In that village by the sea: Stili the people laughed unknowing, With their scorn for such as he. here’s the lad ye taught your wisdom Scoffed they in their jeering way. “He has gone away and left you. You have lost your onlv stay.” • J But the old man answered nothing. Lived his life from day to day. Heeded nothing of their scoffing, Minded not their jeering way. But the lad became world famous. For he always stood for right. Fighting for his king and country As became a gallant knight. Through despair, through exultation. To his master’s teaching true. As of old he grew in knowledge, Now, a man. in strength lie grew. Rose he soon unto great power ’Mong the nobles round the king. Came the peasants flocking gladly Their disputes to him to bring. 244 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR For he judged them all so fairly, As he learned in earlier days, When he dwelt with the old master With the just, yet gentle ways. So his fame spread through the country, Even back to Normandy, But they knew not that the noble Once with them dwelt by the sea. Till at last the news came thrilling. He had come to Normandy. Never had they seen a noble Half so grand or great as he. Down the street he rode in glory To the master’s humble door; Glad received the old man’s blessing No reward to him meant more. Greatly wondered all the people, “This the lad that once we knew? Oh. the old man was a wise man, With a wisdom given few.” Now the people in that village Far away in Normandy, Praise the man they scorned of old time For his bitter poverty. Thus it ran in the old legend, Thus it is with us to-day. Alma Mater is our master, Yes, forever and for aye. All we are. that she has made us And to her the honor be. If we conquer in life’s struggles, If we never turn and flee. jlvv Exercises The exercises held on Class Day, that of 1915. were the most impressive that we have ever seen at the High School. At ten o'clock the Sophomores and Juniors assembled in the Auditorium and remained standing while the Seniors marched in to the strains of music, beautifully rendered by the High School Orchestra. Headmaster John A. Ave.ry presented the president of the class of 1915-B. Clayton Ellis, who presided at both the in-door and out-door exercises. Hie Class Orator. Harold Breckenridge, held the undivided attention of every person in that vast assemblage while he delivered his ovation on the subject “Responsibility” in a manner that is deserving of highest com- mendation. The Class Ode was recited by its author. Miss Marguerite Danforth, 1915-B. and was then sung impressively by the Senior Class. Tile ode was selected by competition which was open to all members of the Class of 1915-B. Mr. Warren Adams, chairman of the pres- entation committee, presented the High School with a beautiful portrait of our country’s mar- tyred president. Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Avery who received the gift for the school com- mended the class for its choice. Following the singing of the school song, the Seniors marched in pairs out of the main entrance, between the lines of Freshmen, who were standing in double columns on each side of the walk, until the Senior president, Clay- ton Ellis, reached the head of the Freshmen line. The Seniors and Freshmen followed by the Juniors and Sophomores, advanced down the front walk, turned to the left on Highland avenue, and wended their way up the walk to the East building. The Ivies were then presented to the School, for 1915-B. by Miss Carita Hunter; for 1916-A by Miss Alice Swasey. The T5-B Ivy Committee, consisting of Miss Carita Hunter, chairman. Ernest Hayward and Henry Burt, then planted the Ivy at the right of the stairs. The Ivy for TO-A was planted to the left of the stairs, by their committee, which consisted of Mix Alice Swasey. chairman, Chester Wiley and George Gardiner. President Ellis then presented the spade to President Seanlan of 1919-B who pledged him- self in behalf of his class, to guard carefully, this emblem of unbroken union and loyalty. The Red and White were made the colors of 1918-B. and the green and white, those of 1ft 19-A. The exercises were concluded bv cheers for Mr. Avery, the Faculty, and the different Gasses. Thus ended one of the most successful class days known in the High School. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 24$ I.OIS I-RAZEE. Class Historian. WARREN L. ADAMS. Chairman Presentation Committee.

A few minutes passed and its keel was heard to grate upon the rocky shore. Anxiously Peggy watched the active figure, as he hauled his skitf out of reach of the sea, and made it fast by means of a small anchor buried in the sand. So this was the man who intended to arrest her brother. What could she do to save him from disgrace and prison? Did he do wrong in smuggling? Of course he did very wrong: but no. no. she could not let joe be caught without some at- tempt on her part to warn him; aye, yes, to save him if possible. If she could only see Joe and prevent the run tonight, he would be safe. A host of thoughts surged through her troubled brain, but the more she tried to solve the difficulty her utter helplessness became painfully apparent. The stranger was near enough for her to plainly see his face. She was surprised to see that he was a young man about Joe’s age, tall and stalwart, with a plain, honest face that had the power of holding the glance of a casual observer, ilis dress consisted of a white middy hat. a blue sweater that partially concealed a grey flannel shirt, and a pair of blue pants that disappeared in a pair of high black boots. Peggy wondered if he had come alone; but no. most likely he had a comrade on board the launch or friends ashore. If she could delay this man. Joe might take warning and keep out of sight. A possible plan flashed upon her. Acting on the spur of the moment. Peggy left the stern of the old boat and started up the rocky beach in the direction of the road. She was conscious that the young man was close behind her. Now was the time to turn the trick. Feigning to misstep, Peg stumbled to the ground. In an instant the youth was at her side, tenderly placing her upon a large flat rock. “I trust you are not hurt?” The voice was calm and pleasant. Peggy dared not look him in the face as she said:— “I'm afraid mv foot is hurt, the right ankle pains me.” Gently the youth examined the injured foot. “You are lucky to have no bones broken, but you have probably given your foot a bad twist.” “You are a stranger here?” “Yes; I confess Pm what one might call a stranger here; yet, I have heard so much con- cerning this place that I feel quite at home. Pm looking for a Mr. Joseph Eaton. Do you happen to know where he lives ?” Peggy paled and gave a little cry. “You’re foot pains quite severely?” “Yes! Yes! It pains me quite bad!” “If you allow me. I should be glad to assist you home,” came the offer. “You are very kind!” she returned, accept- ing the assistance of the young man’s arm. Neither spoke until the road was reached. “You had better go to the beach; the walk- ing will be easier on your foot if you’ve got quite a distance to go.” Peggy smiled and pointed to the rocky beach. “This portion of the shore is covered with those huge rocks, cast up during the winter storms; just why they all land here is more than I can tell. We can leave the road just below here, and the beach will be as smooth as glass for two miles.” Together the two started slowly down the road and a few minute’s walk brought them again to the beach. From here the Eaton home could be plainly seen. Peg’s heart was beating high, for her plan was working well. The fly was walking into the trap. “You have a lovely motor boat,” she ven- tured. “Did you come all alone?” Yes, I left Portsmouth late this morning. The trip was delightful, but a wee bit lone- some.” “'fell me about your trip?” 'The stranger agreed. During the modest recital Peggy became absorbed In what he had to say. How entertaining he was. For a moment she forgot the part she was playing and kicked a stone that lay in her path, 'flic limp for a time stopped; then it began again. The young man noticed the change, wondered, but said nothing. The cottage at last was reached. “You have been so thoughtful and kind to assist me, how can I ever repay you?” “Don’t let that worry you,” laughed the young sailor. “Pm glad to have been of service to you.” “Surely you will come in and rest before you SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 247 attempt your long walk back to your boat?” enticed Peggy. “Pm afraid I shall have to refuse your in- vitation, but really I must return at once, for it is necessary that I find Joe Eaton tonight. You say you do not know him?” The slight hesitation that followed was hardly perceptible. “No I m sorry to say, I don’t,” came the re- piy. “Do you leave soon?” “That all depends on whether I find Eaton or not.” “Only one man on the revenue boat,” thought Peggy, “and if 1 can only hold tin's fellow here tonight, my brother will be safe.” Peg pre- pared to play her last card. The youth gazed at the girl before him and thought he had never seen one quite so lovely as she. 1 low sweet she looked in her middie blouse and blue skirt, and those eyes were so bright, so sincere. He judged her to be about nineteen, and the longer he remained in her presence, the less willing he was to go away. “Would it be imposing on your kindness if I asked you to help me into the house?” she smiled. “Most certainly not!” came the prompt re- ply. and opening the door, he helped her into the living room. Peggy leaned against the table and cau- tiously opened one of the drawers. Her face was pale and she trembled from head to foot. “I’m an awful bother,” she managed to say, “and Pm sorry if 1 have inconvenienced you in any way. Throw up your hands!” The stranger found himself looking into the barrel of a six-shooter, and he instantly com- plied to the demand. “Well, I’ll be hanged!” he exclaimed, with astonishment. “Is that the way you reward your benefactors? What did you do with the last one, kill him?” sarcasti- cally. “S'ou’ll do as I say! I’m used to a gun and you’d better not try any funny business!” “No. I’m not likely to with that thing in my face. Surely you arc joking or you’ve made a big mistake.” “Don’t try to bluff me, sir! There’s no mis- take ! Get into that closet.” With the revenue officer safely under lock and key. Peggy sank wearily into a chair to think matters over. She thought it strange only one man should be sent on this case, but the fellow might have lied. She had one satis- faction in knowing that the revenue service had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the men participating in the present ‘run.’ and should it prove true that this man was the sole agent investigating. Joe, for the present, was safe. How she ever was to get out of this pre- dicament was beyond immediate comprehen- sion. and worried her not a little. She really liked the young motor sailor, and hated to treat one that had been so kind with such stern measures. Why she liked him she couldn’t understand: other youths had not impressed her so. “Why, Peg!” exclaimed a voice, “what are you doing with that gun?” It was her brother’s voice, and with a cry of warning, she ran to him. “Joe! Joe!” she cried softly. “I’ve—I’ve got him! I’ve got him!” “Got what?” questioned Joe kindly. “The man after you—the revenue man! He’s locked in the closet. Oh. go quick while you’ve got time!” “The revenue man!” stammered Joe. “Open this door!” came from the closet. “Peggy, I’m going to look into this affair,” said the brother firmly, pushing the weeping girl from him. Advancing toward the closet, he opened the door and the figure of a man stepped forth. For fully a minute not a sound could be heard, except an occasional sob from Peggy, as the late prisoner faced her brother. Suddenly the stillness was broken by a merry peal of laughter, causing the girl to glance in profound astonishment at Joe, who was hold- ing on to his sides as if for dear life. She ven- tured a look at the stranger. His face wore an expression of intense surprise. “Joe Eaton!” he choked. “Billy Ayers!” came the return. This name brought the startled Peggy to her feet and with a rush, she tried to escape by the door, but Joe was too quick, and poor, morti- fied Peg was forced gently back into the room. “I would like to have vou meet my sister Peggy. Billy Avers!” “I think we are already acquainted!” beamed the late prisoner. “Our short acquaintance has been a most extraordinary one.” “I fear I have made a grave mistake. Mr. Ayers, and I ask your pardon.” Billy, with friendly hand extended, replied, “I am unacquainted with the facts of the case, but most assuredly I accept your apology.” Peggy next turned to her brother. ell, are you going to make the run tonight?” “Why, sis, what do you mean?” returned Joe, puzzled. “Then you deny having planned to smuggle liquor from the Betsy Anne with Pete and an tonight ?” ;i 24 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR joc burst out laughing. “Now really, Sis, you don’t believe I’d do anything like that, do you ?” “I didn’t want to believe it. but the story came so straight. I couldn’t think otherwise.” “Well. Peg, it’s left for me to clear up this mystery. T ► begin with, it’s all a joke, but I never dreamed of its ending this way. You know what a liar and coward Varney is? Well the boys at the Cove determined to put an end to Ins bragging about great smuggling exploits he has taken part in. Pete and I thought out a scheme and all the boys approved of it. We got Van to believe we were going to make a run. We made it appear a most dangerous piece of work, and to start the ball rolling. Pete called up here on the phone, and Van was scared white. He never mistrusted for a mo- ment we were playing a trick on him. I don’t have to be told how you heard about it.” “How I learned concerning this disgraceful affair, you shall never know. I doubt if I ever forgive you. Joe Eaton!” Billy and Joe laughed. “Well. Sis. I can hardly blame you if you don’t. We can both be thankful that it was only my old 'college chum that you so uncere- moniously locked up.” Billy was busy examining the Colt revolver. “My. if this had gone off accidently it would have killed me sure. Look at the size load it’s filled with!” “Unloaded!” she murmured. “‘Persuasion bullets,’” laughed Joe. The ice was completely broken and Peggy became her usual happy self once more. At the request of Billy, the incident at the Cove was told to Joe by his sister, and he laughed till the tears came. That evening found Peggy and Billy the best of friends. “I thought you said you’d hate Billy if you ever met?” teased Joe. “And so I did!” assented the happy sister, “but I don’t hate him any more.” The few days comprising Billy’s visit passed away only too soon. Days that neither sister, brother or chum would be apt ever to forget. “Now that you have found our ‘Beach Home’ Joe and I shall be disappointed if you do not visit here whenever an opportunity offers.” “There is no reason why Billy should be a stranger at our home, for Portsmouth and Wells are next door neighbors,” added Joe. “Furthermore, he’s promised to spend Labor Day at the beach.” Billy’s face lighted up and as his eyes met those of Peggy’s, a vast hope rose iu his heart, which seemed to find a satisfactory answer. “You have all been so good to me that I can- not begin to thank you for the pleasant visit 1 have had,” returned Billy warmly. “I shall most assuredly accept the invitation for Labor Day. and shall look forward to it with highest anticipations.” The chug! chug! of an engine broke the still- ness of the morning, and Billy’s boat headed for the open sea. Peggy waved farewell, and as if in answer to her wave, the Stars and Stripes rose to the mast-head and fluttered back in reply. THE END. jfnen sbto JBy Ubomas tf. Scanlan, CRING the whole morning of a beautiful day. late in June, the upper wharf of the Great North- ern dock on the East River. New York, was filled with its mo- mentary splendor and breathing in its scheduled bustle and anxiety. Every few moments there rushed from the powerful ele- vators. which rose from the ground-level, a sea of anxious human faces bursting forth like rushing waters, and streaming swiftly across the gang planks to the ship, both saloon and second cabin. And each countenance had its own distinctive expression.—some happy and smiling, others staring about in a turbulent manner, while others might be seen who ap- parenti) were less affected by the tumult and noise. Fashion was there in the fullness of her at- tire, which was admirably well adapted to the mild summer weather. Indeed, her appear- ance was as winning as it ever had been, draw- ing furtive glances from those who lingered here and there about the decks, exciting the ut- most civility on the part of the officers, and causing the porters to bow and step with un- usual grace and alacrity. The Britania would go as far as Liverpool, whence all possible haste would most likely be made by the pas- sengers to London or Paris. And all this with- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR out the slightest presumption in the minds of the majority of those concerned, in spite of the repeated, stern notifications from the German Embassy that all trans-Atlantic liners bound for England were in danger of destruction by the German submarines. “Robert Flanders, Deck B, Room 1101.” a young man of about twenty years, good-look- ing. of medium height, dark complexioned and well attired.—such a person addressed these words to the official in uniform at the foot of the saloon gang-plank. The officer glanced rapidly down a list of names, nodded, and the other ran briskly up the plank, valise in hand, followed by a much older man who carried similar baggage. “Well, father. I’m here at last. spoke the young man when B-.S01 had been reached. “Yes. my boy, and its a mighty fine room too.” 'I'lie other looked around him with keen delight. “Saloon passage is a little more than I can afford to give you. but it is worth the cost—it’s grand, simply grand.” he continued, noticing the excellence of the stateroom’s furnishings, from its general appearance down to the small- est detail. “Well, my dear boy, enjoy yourself and make the most of your acquaintance with Schuyler. Be pleasant and sociable with him; it's well to know one as influential and wealthy as he.” just then a deafening roar from the Britania’s big sea-horn startled both father and son. Al- ready the cry was going the rounds of “All ashore that are going ashore.” As the two reached the deck and bade each other farewell, the great freight hatches were heard to close with a tremendous slam. Only the gang-plank stretched over the short distance which lay between the hundreds of beloved ones on tlie dock and those on board, which soon would be stretched into a length of three thousand miles. The young man’s eager eye watched his dear father stepping down the gang-plank; both, to be sure, were a little depressed in spirit. Promptly at 1 2 m.. with another screeching blast from the sea-horn, and the clanking of chains and shouts of farewell, the huge liner drew away from the moorings. Robert Flanders had now studied in the various courses of art at ---------- College for three years. The cherished hope to visit L’Ecole dcs Beaux Arts at Paris to study there, and then to stand in the midst of the marvels of the Louvre.—his insatiable craving was at last to be satisfied. Many more pleasing antic- ipations were added when on the second day - 9 before his departure the young student dis- covered that an acquaintance from college. John Schuyler, of an exceedingly wealthy and influen- tial New York family, was listed amoug the saloon passengers. At that time Flanders had engaged a passage in the second cabin. The father of Flanders being very ambitious for the welfare of his boy. at once became aware of the opportunities which lay open if he should send his son to Europe in the company of Schuy- ler and others of equal influence, with whom the latter was associated. After much vacillation and consideration the passage was changed from cabin to saloon, but not without pressing still harder on the resources of Flander’s family. After dinner on the day of leaving port Rob- ert decided to seek his friend Schuyler, who most likely knew nothing of his being on the ship. The wholesome meal had put Robert in the best of spirits and he was highly optimistic in regard to the outcome of the change which lie had put through. There was to be dancing that evening, and of course he could get ac- quainted with some of the young ladies aboard, but most likely John Schuyler knew some, if so matters would be much more promising. He amused himself with such thoughts while his food was digesting and he lay at full length couched in a wealth of upholstery in the loung- ing room. His thoughts reverted to college. John Schuyler hadn’t taken particularly notice- able freedom with him while at college, but, of course, there were so many others and his al- lowance could not be compared with Schuyler's. There was an unmistakable acquaintance, however, and greetings had been exchanged many times and it seemed to Robert that in this entirely changed situation, there was a chance of close friendship. Up he sprang from the soft sofa, came up on deck and walked leisurely forward on the port side. He pre- ferred to meet Schuyler at some idle moment on deck or elswhere, rather than to go to his stateroom. After having circled the entire deck he still found himself alone and musing upon the expected meeting and following events. A sort of Japanese room adjoined the corridor in which he was standing. Into this he sauntered and passed several who were en- joying a novel or newspaper or other reading matter. The sight of Schuyler on the other side of this room surprised him not a little. His friend was almost hidden behind a full-length of news- paper. He stepped quickly thither. “Hello, John,” said he, with a look of sur- prise. 250 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Hello—er—hello, Flanders; well this is quite a surprise.” returned the other, rising to his feet and shaking Flander’s extended hand. ”1 knew nothing of your being on board.” “Oh. I was listed at the last moment.” re- sponded Robert, refraining from any mention of tlie enrollment in the second class. The two talked about what had happened since leaving college, and each explained to the other the purpose of his voyage. Schuyler’s being merely one of adventure and pleasure. “Do we dance tonight?” asked Robert when the conversation had drifted to that. “What—yes; i think—I don’t really know whether I shall or not.” I shall have to make myself acquainted,” laughed Robert. “You’re the only one I know aboard, not to mention the young ladies.” “Don’t count too much on the ballroom for pleasure.” warned the other. “I would rather enjoy the other attractions; there is another orchestra in the lounge-room evenings and the ‘movies’ are shown in a room built for that purpose.” They now walked together toward the deck. Upon nearing the door a young man of about their own age. stylishly dressed and accom- panied by three young ladies, passed by and along the deck. Schuyler stepped quickly to the threshold, called the fellow by name and then turned sharply around and bid Robert good-bye. say- ing:— Glad I saw you. Flanders—I am doing some studying, so 1 am not about much during the day. perhaps I shall see you in London or Paris—so long.” and he hurried to join the four who were awaiting him. Robert walked slowly away, thinking, won- dering. Perhaps I shall see you in Paris or London.” but such a remark was uncalled for. What did he mean, studying while on a pleas- ure trip and then spending his time reading newspapers that very afternoon. He could not understand why Schuyler had acted so rigid. That evening Robert went up to the ball- room on the upper deck. He carefully sur- veyed his position and eagerly awaited his chance to gain the consent of some young lady for a dance. John Schuyler was there and mak- ing a merry time of it. “He didn’t go to the ‘movies.’ then.” remarked Robert to him- self. Schuyler was at the other end of the hall with several other young folks. The next dance commenced and two girls were left without partners. Robert entered at the door nearest them. They were members of Schuyler’s partv. He asked one for the dance and then the other, both refused. He turned away with a smile, a little hurt, but by no means angry. Later on in the evening he again failed to gain the con- sent of any of Schuyler’s party and Schuyler barely nodded to him when greeted. It seemed upon after-thought the next day that his plan to gain the favor of Schuyler was hopeless. Two evenings later Schuyler and the two girls whom he had previously asked to dance with him, arose and left the hall upon his approach. Then, he realized he had gone too far. He had been too persistent: he should have seen this the very first afternoon. Schuyler did not wish his company, that was all. A rancorous feeling of hatred gradually sprang up within him. He vowed he would never show it. but it was there nevertheless. He was sure that Schuyler was the cause of the incivility upon the part of the girls by some slandering or untrue statements concerning him. The cloud of these events shut out the sunshine. Thus closed in by his gloom he sel- dom appeared on deck after that evening and never returned to the dance hall. Carried away by the disappointment he ultimately re- solved with his greatest firmness never again to see Schuyler, or speak to him as a friend. ’ In the dazzling sun of a hot summer’s after- noon the colossal traveller of the seas, crushed by four torpedoes, plunged to her fate in full view of the horrified survivors who filled the white life-boats round about. There was no darkness of night to hide the horrible scene; no gray dawn to make the struggling ones grim and resolute, but in the fullness of their view, with the sun permitting no frightful sight to go unnoticed, hundreds disappeared in the angry loam of the ocean. Only a few minutes before at the stern command of the captain a band of about two hundred men threw them- selves from the shining top-deck of the fated liner to resort to swimming. In a short time there seemed to be only half this number above water. Many women in boats became delirious at the thought of husband, brother or son being swallowed before their own eyes. A drowning man cried feebly for help and then in an effort to swim flung his arms about in a terrified fashion. He saw one near him who was swimming; he could save him. but no. he was swimming steadily away with a powerful stroke. He was his enemy. It was Flanders. The hate was still in his heart; he was seeking vengeance in an ungodly fashion, he was leaving him there to perish. But was he? ] | fj SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR •51 Flanders after a minute of hard swimming reached a collapsible boat and drew his power- ful body upon it quite exhausted. Thanking God, he turned to look back in the turbulent, swaying sea. There was the face, the anguish in the expression was unimaginable; the mouth as if to utter a cry but it was drowned out by the shrieks of those in the boats. Flanders countenance became stern, more resolute—then he plunged back into the sea and swam straight for the man. The white face of Schuyler sank behind the billows of the ocean, but each time re-appeared again Flanders mounted each wave with a greater desire than before. At last there was but one rolling monster to be passed. The drowning man saw the face of Flanders pressing towards him. The rise of the water swept forward. Schuyler disappeared behind it. only for a moment. Flanders thought. But he was mistaken. The noble effort a mo- ment too late had been in vain. Schuyler had disappeared forever. As Flanders wanted Schuyler as a friend, so it came about that Schuyler would have liked Flan- ders to be his friend—yea. more than his friend. But both were denied. Yet l hank God.” spoke Flanders’ noble heart, “thank God! I didn’t refuse John Schuyler.” “Zhc Sbw” By? C. 1R. Shatter, 1915 B. TITLE did I imagine when I left Boston for Bar Harbor, Maine, in the early part of last sum- mer. that I was to experience o: e of the most thrilling adlvemun of my life. Having visited Bar Harbor before. 1 was pre- pared to enjoy all of its natural beauties; to sec many of the leading people of both this country and of several of the foreign countries; to take advantage of its many and varied forms of re- creation ; but hardly was I prepared to plav the part which I took in the unusual course oi events of which Bar Harbor was the scene this past summer. In order to appreciate the happenings of la-1 summer one should know at least a little of Bar Harbor and its people. The village of Bar Harbor is situated at the northern extremity of the island of Mt. Desert remarkable for the beauty of its scenery. Mountains, the highest on the whole Atlantic Coast, which are visible sixty miles at sea: the characteristic rocky shores of the Maine Coa-t, innumerable lakes among the hills; picturesque roadways, and wonderful summer villas.—these are some of its most interesting and att. active features. But more interesting still are the people who live in this wonderful, natural summer re.or.. There some of the most prominent families of this country have built summer homes. To this alluring spot several legations journey ere� — season. Many foreigners of noble birth have chosen this resort as the place where they shall pass the summer months. American so iety life is seen at its best in that exquisite, naura! playground. But there prominent men of af- fairs. financiers and men • i the higher political life, never for a moment lose their grip on their own or the Nation’s affairs. For this reason the situation in Bar Harbor when on August 1. the war was declared, was indeed tense. The I th of August was my long day on the Row,” and it was a very tired and sleepy young man who dragged himself off to bed to the 5th floor of the “Louisburg,” a large hotel which has seen Bar Harbor grow from a tiny village to the finest and most exclusive resort in America. All the evening 1 had listened to the conversa- tion in the lobby in regard to the War -itui- t.011. Twice that same evening I had changed the quotations received from the New ork Stock Exchange. The Minister from Portugal and a prominent Washington surgeon had en- gaged in an interesting discussion which 1 had enjoyed hearing. In another part of the 1- bbv an Austrian officer, a Baron bv the wav. and a member of the Swedish legation, had enj yed an u.gument in regard to the neutrality •' the Scandinavian Countries. In front of the Bulie- • n Board, on which the Stock quotations -vver.J prominent men had held man interesting dis- cussions and had broken up into little excited groups, finally to walk away to the music room or to the Casino to dance. They had all been interesting discussions by big men. Little wonder my brain was some- what bemuddled. Little wonder I wished 10 d:cp off to sleep immediately. But I was not to be so fortunate. My roommate, who was the night watchman came in and asked me to oblige him by tailing 25 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the ‘rounds” tor the rest of the night. I grumbled a bit but finally consented, siung the leather cover clock over my shoulder, dunged liats with him, and started on the wear! -ome, one-mile an hour” rounds. As each hour crept by I grew sleepy and more sleepy. One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, and still I went the rounds. 1 watched the hands of the big office clocx creep ’round slowly to five. Then I started for the top floor, where I began my rounds about five minutes too early, to get a glance at the rising sun. When I opened the corridor door on the up- per floor I noticed a light beyond Egg Rock, the lighthouse which guards the entrance to Frenchman's Bay. At first I thought it might be a clipper ship full of lumber bound tor Sorrento or Goulsboro, towns across the bay, but when the ship on which the light was placed swung around into the channel I noticed that it had four stacks and that it was enormously long, silhouetted against the early morning sky. For a few moments I watched it and then as it crept up the bay with clouds of thick, black, smoke pouring from its funnels, my mind reverted to the reports we had been receiving every day. “British Warships along Maine Coast.” “Heavy Firing heard by people of Maine Summer Resorts.” Was this a foreign battleship which intended to attack neutral United States? Was this a foreign mau-o’-war seeking refuge after a run- ning sea fight off our shores? Whatever it might be. 1 was sure I was not going to miss any part of the excitement, so I dropped my clock in my room and hurried to the roof. The sun was just appearing above the h ..rizon as the “Mystery Ship” crept slowly up the bay. For a few moments, placed as it was between tlie shore and that glowing ball of fed fire rising in the East the ship seemed terrible indeed. When it had reached a position one-quarter of a mile from the hotel it came to a stop. I c mid make out what I thought to be guns in the bow and from the stern I observed that a flag was flying, but of what nationality I could not determine. After a few minutes the ship anchored in the center of the harbor. Chains rattled and the ship blew for position. Such a noise had never been heard in Bar Harbor before and in sixtv seconds of good swift American time every fel- low on the top floor of the hotel was on the ioof asking. “What is it. Chet?’’ When did it come in?” “What is it?” Immediately everyone was engaged in con- jecturing as to the nationality, and the object of this “Mystery Ship.” In fact every nation but the United States was considered as the possible owner. After I had eaten a hasty breakfast, I hur- ried down toward the wharves nearest the posi- tion of the visitor. On my way I bought a paper, the Boston Globe, and glanced through it to see if by chance the papers had any in- formation in regard to this strange vessel. I observed nothing of interest but nevertheless I put the paper in my pocket to read later. I wandered around the deserted docks for a few moments undecided as to what I should do. Then I stepped into a dory and started out into the bay. Every few minutes I would stop rowing and look around at the huge bulk ahead of me. I could not but laugh at the difference in size be- tween that giant of the seas and my pigmy craft. When I had nearly reached the side of the ship I thought. What if they should fire one of those guns at me?” and aloud I added “Good Night.” At first I hardly dared to go very close but finally I plucked up courage and rowed along- side. Apparently mine was the first boat out to greet the new comer, at least, there were 119 others in sight. A nearer view showed me that all the decks were deserted, but that in the bow what I had taken for guns were people. All traces of the name of the ship had been effaced and the port holes were covered with canvas. One can hardly imagine the ghostly appearance this enormous ship presented. While I sat in the boat drifting around I heard a voice from above. Looking up 1 spied a sailor and although 1 could hear distinctly, I could not at first understand what he was saying. Then I recognized the German tongue. In a moment he disappeared and a second and a third person appeared. Finally I heard a good American “Hello there?” By this time I had reached the iron stairs which rise from the water to the first deck. I tied my boat and trotted up. On reaching this deck I was surrounded by stokers, engineers and sail rs. 1 looked around for the guns and the implements of war. but saw instead a stack of mail sacks at least 100 feet long and several life preservers. But what was that? Was I dreaming? Could it be possible? There on the life preservers the identity of the “Mystery Ship.” was laid bare. This was the treasure ship.” the Kron- prinzessin Cecilie,” of the North German LI ml line. This was the ship that had $10,000,000, in gold anil -nearly a million in silver for French and English bankers. But why was it in Bar Har- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 253 bor? Could it be on its return trip from Eu- rope: No, for it had left New York only a week before. Just then an officer, a steward of the second class stepped up and asked me in perfect Eng- lish, “Young sir, would it be possible for us to buy provisions here, and if so will you kindly send out the trades people?” I said that I would and I went down the ladder to my dory intending to do as requested, when from the upper saloon deck I hear a woman’s voice. I waved my hand to show her that I heard and she called out. “Young man, what part of Ire- land in this?” Another lady and several gentlemen asked for information in regard to the war situation. I told them all that the papers of the day before had contained and held up the paper which I had. One gentleman offered me a quarter for it, another thirty-five cents, a lady fifty cents, and 1 sold it. American politeness! Ladies first. This lady led down a string, I tied on the paper and she hauled it up. Immediately she was surrounded by news famished people. Another gentleman asked me whether I would take a cabiegram ashore. 1 replied 1 would gladly but that cables were not guaranteed. Within fifteen minutes 1 had more than 200 telegrams and the bottom of my dory was covered with silver coins. On my return I met the Harbor Master and a correspondent for the Maine papers going to the liner. By the time I reached shore I met several people preparing to go out. but I could not help taking great satisfaction in the thought that I had been the first to discover the_ identity of the “Mystery Ship.” 1315 Class ©fce 3B : flDactmecite H anfortb, M A RGU E RI '1' E 1) A N FO RT H.

Olson, 1015= J6 N A cool morning in October, on the outskirts of one of the suburbs of Paris, stood a young man of about twenty-two years of age. Not far away, near the edge of the level held stood several odd-looking houses in which were stored some of the latest types of French aeroplanes. While the young man in question stood watching the small white clouds skim swiftly across the sky, an elderly man approached and slapped him heartily on the back. “They won’t venture out on a day like this, with the wind blowing fifty miles an hour.” “No, I guess not.” answered the young man, “but I would like to scout around a little my- self and see if 1 can find out anything.” “I wouldn’t if I were you, Chester. You’re liable to strike a hole and turn turtle.” Chester Lawrence had been interested in aeroplanes since early boyhood. He had tried to complete several inventions but had failed in all of them. For this reason his friends had constantly chided him. 1C veil the girl whom he loved had refused him because he had done nothing which showed him to be worthy of her. Rut when war broke out between Germany and France and England, his opportunity ar- rived. On account of his knowledge of the parts and construction of an aeroplane, he was given a position on the French aeroplane de- partment and now had a splendid opportunity to show his true worth. While he was talking to his father a girl of twenty ran up to them with an anxious expres- sion in her lovely dark eyes. “Oh. Chester, what shall we do? The Ger- mans intend to raid General Joffre’s base of supplies at Dunkirk.” “Who told you that?” asked Chester quickly. “I overheard two spies talking about it at the hotel.” answered the girl. “They said that they had sent information concerning the con- dition of the forces at Dunkirk to General von Kluck. “If they destroy his supplies he will be un- able to hold out more than a few days. We must catch those spies and in some way inform General Joffrc of the threatened attack. “It is about three hundred miles to Dunkirk and all communications are cut off between here and there,” said Mr. Lawrence. Chester and his father went quickly to the hotel where Bertha had overheard the two spies. They had hired the room adjoining hers and there was only a thin partition between the rooms with a door leading from one room to the other. Bertha had heard them mention General Joffre and became interested at once. They had said that the attack was to be made that night and that everything was in readiness for the surprise of the forces at Dunkirk. When Bertha had finished telling this story, they had reached the hotel and were on their way upstairs to the rooms. Chester went through Bertha’s room to enter that door and his father stood guard at the door in the hall- way. Then Chester opened the door and looked around. The room was empty. They had no time to lose in looking for the men. It remained to inform the commanding officer at Paris as soon as possible. They went at once to headquarters in Paris and told him all they could. He saw at once that the only way to warn General Joffrc in time was by means of a fast aeroplane. He questioned Chester as to how long it would take him to cover the four hundred miles. If nothing hap- pened he would be able to travel fifty miles an hour and would get there just in time. Chances were, however, that he would be mistaken for a German spy and fired upon by his own people and if anything should be injured his chance of reaching his destination would be lost. He took several bombs with him and started on his flight. He flew along without interrup- tion for two hours when suddenly he saw a slight flash about three miles below him. Then he heard a whirring sound and a bullet crashed into the alluminum wing of the machine. All he could do was to crouch behind the steel sheets which would protect him to some extent from the machine gun which he felt sure was being trained upon him. He arose a little higher and went out of his course in order to destroy their aim. It was terrible to sit there and think that he was being fired upon by his own comrades, who mistook him for a German aviator. But to his surprise he was allowed to pass without further trouble. After traveling at this rate for three hours since the shot was fired, he took his field glasses and saw far below a winding blue streak which he decided must be the Somme River. 256 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Now it began to grow dark and he could only decide where he was by multiplying the time that had elapsed since he passed the river by the average reading of the speedometer at- tached to his engine. He started to descend, thinking he must be quite near the place, when suddenly the noise of a conflict arose and he understood that he had arrived too late to warn General Joffre. The German cavalry had already made the at- tack. tie was almost ready to give up and go back knowing that it he descended, the Germans would get possession of his aeroplane. They had evidently not yet heard the noise of the engine. This gave him a good idea. lie flew around to get on the flank of the besiegers and taking two or three bombs which he had with him. threw them into the lines of the enemy. They thought that reinforcements had arrived and were outflanking them. The Class IFUobt Class night of 1915-B was held on the even- ing of June 21. 1915. in the High School Audi- torium. The programme was preceded by an informal reception largely attended by the class and members of the faculty. The following programme was enjoyed.:— 1. Vocal Solo—Mr. John A. Avery, headmaster of the school. 2. Class History.—“Idea of Past,” Lois Fra- zee, “The Wanderer.” Walter Larsen, Historians; Edna Noyes, Prologue; Laura Lewis. Barbara Sawyer. Ethel Carvell, Ruth Donaldson. Alice Rice, The Ideas; Ruth McKay. Spirit of 1915-B. 3. Vocal Duet—Clayton Ellis (President of Class 1915-B), Doris Underhill. 4.

When, however, they saw that they were not pursued, they reorganized their lines and made a second attempt to gain possession of the supplies. But this time the French garri- son was ready and held them back. After a short time reinforcements came from a short distance and the Germans were repulsed with heavy losses. After the excitement subsided. General Joffre made inquiries as to what caused the Germans to retreat. Then Chester was brought up by several troopers. The commander recognized him and questioned him regarding his part in the conflict. The General praised him very highly for his daring and he was soon appointed commander of the fleet of air ships, but I doubt if this promotion made him any happier than the greeting which he received fom a certain young lady whom he had left in Paris. Of 1315 PLOT OF CLASS PROPHESY. Scene of Class Prophecy is in the garden of the future, made bright by red and white flow- ers. As curtain rises. Fancy, entangled in a web, is calling loudly to be set free. Her cry awakens the wood spirits, who summon by song the fairies to liberate Fancy. Fancy once free, dances joyously with the fairies until they disperse at the discovery , of a mortal called a poet, who has wandered inta this enchanted garden. Fancy, however, re- mains with the Poet and performs a mystic dance, which inspires the poet to write in rhyme until the entrance of the prophetess Naidni, who through her interest in the preservation of Indian legends, has been taken into the tribe f Neetfifneeteni. She has accpiired a magi- cal power, taught by Fancy, and read the se- crets of the flowers, from which the future of the members of the class arc reveajed. Also into this garden comes a District At- torney and a Professor of Botany, who are recognized by the Poet and Prophetess as for- mer classmates and together they give the prophecy of the entire class including some class jokes. As twilight descends, Naidni in- vites her friends to view the Indian Camp. As they leave the garden the fairies, accompanied by the Luna Moth, return and dance, but soon SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 257 they fall asleep, hushed by the woodland spirits’ lullaby The entire performance is entirely different from anything attempted before by any class. The decorations, color effects, and general tone of the evening emphasize a steadily ris- ing standard in the character of the class nights in Somerville High School, and our prophecy of even greater results in the future.

Music com- posed by Mr. McVev. Entertainment was followed by collation and dancing. The history of the Class of 1915-B was unique and an innovation being worked out along the physcological lines and continued into the prophecy. The scene of history takes place in the mind, but presented in a woodland, representing a garden of the past. The spirit of 1915-B presides over the scene. Suddenly enter a number of ideas who filter about here and there, then vanish as they came. But one idea, the idea of the past, is al- lowed to remain and guard the seeds which were planted by 1915-B. thus the Spirit of 1915-B follows each student along life’s path. A member of the class searching in the realm of memory finally follows the path of Ideas, and soon finds himself in the garden of the past, where stong association with the Idea of the Past make memory of four years at High School clear. While working in this garden he discovers a chest containing a diary of the Class of 1915-B. Years before the records of this class had mys- teriously disappeared and were destroyed, but though the record pages were destroyed, the records were registered in the mind, and so were found in the garden of Past. These records were read by the historians—but reali- ing that pleasant though the past may be. there is still a spirit within bidding the class of 1915-B to go forward to accomplish greater power than attained in the Garden of the Past. AMONG FRATERNITIES 'fhe Gamma Eta Kappa Fraternity presented the musical comedy “The Music Box,” at Uni- tarian Hall on the evening of May 21 and 22. The music was composed bv members of the fraternity and one number especially promises to become popular. The greatest success was attributed to the fraternity by the generous patrons and it is agreed that the show has been equalled but a few times in the history of this school. ---o--- On the evening of May 20. the Kappa Alpha Pi Fraternity held a most successful banquet and ladies' night at the River Bank Court Hotel. Exactly one hundred and one people were present to listen to valuable advice given by Headmaster John A. Avery concerning “The Relationship of Fraternities to High School.” Brother Roy W. Hatch also spoke of “ I he Value of the Fraternity.” After the banquet dancing followed with music furnished by a colored quintette. On Monday evening. April 12. the Omicron Delta Fraternity presented the musical comedy, “Red Top.” at the Somerville Theatre. 'Fhe performance of this comedy proved an excel- lent piece of work in the hands of the mem- bers. The show was patronized to such an ex- tent that not a seat was vacant on the night of the performance, 'fhe financial success proved to be enormous. Theta Sigma Delta Fraternity of the Somer- ville High School held its sixth annual banquet Friday evening. May 21. at the Quincy House. Music was furnished by the fraternity or- chestra. Card cases engraved with the seal of the fraternity were presented to those present. Dr. William H. Hoyt served as toastmaster. The principle speakers were John M. Jaynes, of the faculty and Harold Ryan. Crawford Sweeley. Lester Williams, and Douglas Pol- lard. About fifty members attended the ban- quet and business meeting. 258 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS Mr. Clark in a recent Ethics period ex- plained t.) the seniors the employment of Som- erville High School graduates in the Somer- ville schools that there might be no misunder- standing about it on the part of the people of Somerville. A Somerville High School gradu- ate has an equal chance with outside appli- cants in securing a position. After graduating from the High School, and from a normal school, or from a college in which the candidate has taken a course in pedagogy, she may become a cadet acting as an assistant for one year to a teacher for whose line of work the graduate wishes to tit. The cadet thereby acquires a prac- tical training, and is well equipped tc enter the field of teaching. During the year of training, she will receive a salary not exceeding $200. The seniors are glad to know that such a posi- tion is within the grasp of a Some, wile High School graduate, and some of us may recall the city's offer, and become a cadet in some one of the grammar schools of Somerville. 1� . In order to keep on the safe side of criticism rc must not boast of a baseball championship at this writing, but we do have the privilege of saying that Somerville may soon have it. Un- conquerable “Billy Fit7.” deserves all the credit capable of being bestowed upon him. He not only has pitched perfect games but he has done more. He lias won them! The Radiator has never printed such records since the days of Leo Hafford. Nineteen Fifteen is proud of you. Fitzgerald, and we extend our most hearty congratulations in this editorial. a a , v Captain Hall Carpenter deserves much honor in the manner in which he has developed the interest for track work in this school. He has formed a team and obtained results. Track athletics now has a solid foundation in this school and whatever glory teams hereafter achieve, we must look back on Carpenter as the heart, soul and life of the track team of Somerville High School. K r. k fhe close of this year sees another stranger cf the sporting world added to those of our school: that is tennis. Captain Fitz and his four have so established this sport in the school that its maintenance is assured. Hats off to Captain Fitz. our tennis and football enthusi- ast. . K K Although the best school-boy hockey player. Captain Francis Downing, is graduating this year, he resigns his position to one of equal enthusiasm. Captain-Elect Burtnett holds this position and the out-going Radiator Staff con- gratulates Burtnett. hoping that he may have championship success during the coming sea- son. � � . if Owing to injuries received by so many good players of our football team, Captain Ellis was unable to win another championship for us, but he did something materially as beneficial. He increased the spirit in the school to the degree of real enthusiastic support. •� i •� e feel confident in stating that the Somer- ville High School Orchestra is second to none in the New England states. Under the careful cooperation of the musical instructor, Mr. MacVey. and the Orchestra conductor, the members of that organization have received valuable instruction. Their concert, held May 14. proved this. This organization of the school is perhaps the one most in demand. At every social function of the High School except Senior Night, the music has been furnished by members of this orchestra. It was decided to reward the faithful play- ers by awarding a credit of one point equiva- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 259 Not only is every one to receive this extra point but the Seniors of the Orchestra are hereafter to receive medals similar to those of the debating clubs. At the close of each season, the Seniors in the Orchestra will re- ceive medals so it is assured that undergrad- uates will look forward to the time when they shall become Seniors to receive a medal, signi- f cant of membership in such a worthy organi- zation. In behalf of the Orchestra, the editor takes great pleasure in thanking those people who have made it possible for the Orchestra to exist and prosper. They are Superintendent Charles S. Clark. Headmaster Avery. Inspector of Mu- sic Mr. MacVey and the faculty of the High School. Especial credit should be. given to Gertrude West and Miriam Taylor of the Junior Class for the excellent piece of work which they did in typewriting and neostyling the May number of The English News, as this is only their first year’s work in typewriting. The following High School pupils have suc- cessfully passed the ten minute speed test for the Underwood Typewriter Company’s Initial Certificate of Proficiency in typewriting, which requires a rate of at least forty words per minute. Tests are taken at school under the supervision of typewriting teachers, and certi- ficates are forwarded to the school from the Typewriter company on the word of teachers that pupils have passed the test. the RADIATOR.

Mr. Dale Barker, the president of the Somerville Dartmouth Club, under whose auspices this meeting was held, introduced the president of the class of 1015 of Dartmouth. Somerville has been honored in having Xorville Milmore, S. H. S.. ’ll. fill this position. Mr. Milmore described in an informal manner the lantern slides which portrayed the environments of the college. After the slides had been seen Mr. Benjamin Marshall. Dartmouth, ’07. mounted the plat- form at Mr. Barker’s request and spoke fifteen minutes on college life as a benefit to everyone, physically as well as mentally. On Friday morning. May 28. memorial exer- cises were held in the auditorium for the bene- fit of every pupil of the high school. After selections by the high school orchestra, poems and memorial essays were delivered by Harold Brinig, Ralph I.amont. and Katherine Giles. At this meeting Miss Irene Graves was declared winner of the medal for the best essay on the ‘‘Inspiration of Patriotic Deeds.” At the sec- ond session of the exercises she read her prize essay. Mr. Elias H. Marston. of the Willard Kinsley Post. G. A. R., spoke of his experiences in the Civil War and described to us the terrible Battle of Gettysburg. The school was fortunate in having one of the men of the ac- tual battle to speak to us. We are unanimous in expressing gratitude for the valuable oppor- tunity. DEBATING TEAM.

Assistants, Dorothy Seniors, do you realize that your last year in the Somerville High School has drawn to a close. If you do, review the fact that this year lias been a successful one for the class of 1915. We have won a glorious triumph in debating. We have produced a winning cross-country and track team; we have won the champion- ship in baseball, and our year has brought forth renewed efforts on the part of every organiza- tion and activity in the High School. Have you had a share in this? All hats off to Harold Breckenridge. our class orator. Few realize the untiring efforts needed to prepare the masterly oration which lie delivered. Congratulations to the Debating Team. We hope that this is the initial win of a series of wins over Newton and Brookline. Boost debat- ing and help Somerville to again capture the shield next year. Captain William Fitzgerald has certainly been striking them out. Eighteen strikeouts in that Malden game is but a sample of his wonderful pitching. Did you enjoy the faculty game? OUR CIRCUS. Chapin—Tall Man. Waugh—Tiny Man. Sawyer—Rip Van Winkle. MacMillan—Our boar (bore). Carpenter—Wild Man (eats 'em alive). Ford—Our Tin Man. 1915—Our class-man. All those wishing to see future teachers of Somerville High School kindly glance in R-213 any day just before the close of school. No admission charged. Upon the hill, there lies a school, the best one in the land. It’s got a reputation; it sure has got the sand, For in that school are Seniors, so dignified and neat. They win in almost everything; they’re aw- fully hard to beat. When it comes to baseball, why you know they are right there. Debating, tennis, football, too, they always give a scare. For T5-B is in the fight, she always will stand high, They never can be discouraged, for no others will pass by. But now they are to graduate, a parting tear they shed, For some begin to realize the school life which they led. But cheer up! Cheer up! Seniors, it all is over now! Just look at old ’15. That will show you how. Those desiring to procure special orders on Chase and Sanborn’s choice coffee see Miss Goss. Room 215. Samples if desired. Do you realize. Seniors, that this is your SOM ERV1LLIC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 264 last Radiator? If you do. urge your neigh- bor to buy one. Keep your Radiatoh to your- self. Problems to be solved:— Why is not Miss Lieb supplied with a mirror? Why is Miss Hunter always late? Why was Miss Aldrich absent on June 1? Whv are we Seniors a ways busy? Why aren’t some of us going to graduate? Answer: Because---------- We extend our sincere sympathies and hopes for a speedy recovery to our classmates who are ill with scarlet fever. Great excitement was caused in Room 228 when Miss Woodbridge was presented with guest towels for her “hope chest.” Did your photos flatter you? Of course not! Me rill wish Miss Hamblett success in her matrimonial career which is soon to begin. Don’t: forget the tennis team. Seniors. Fitz and Ashton have done their share in bringing a successful season to a close. Pupil doing experiment thirty-nine in chem- istry (to instructor) :— “Please, may I have the oatmeal?” Bright Pupil: “Haven’t vou had your break- fast yet?” Cry of the basketball team, which had to struggle to obtain the championship:— We were defeated, but we were not dis- couraged; far be it from us to lament ; nor did we believe that the grim-visaged vulture of defeat was predestined to whet its beak upon our shrouded banners. For we have come back stronger and faster than ever before, and with greater gusto, convincing the most skeptical that the championship would ultimately and unavoidably repose’ in our proud custody.” The Orchestra, under the leadership of John Chipman, deserve great commendation for their successful concert. Our class may well be proud of such work in Our Year. Don’t be angry if your name hasn’t been in the Radiator this year. Remember, quiet deeds are more noble than a name in print. Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! He! He! What’s that? Oh. nothing, just a sample of Hugo Flynn’s musical laugh. Seniors, we are about to depart into lands unknown. Some will go to college, normal, and “prep” schools; others will pursue business, but whatever you do don’t forget the old To. First, foremost and for all time- 1915. Miss M—nard, answering telephone in Room 202: No, you have the wrong mini—re— room.” Don’t forget to thank your teachers who have so sacrificingly worked for your educa- tion. Show them that 1015-1� stands for ap- preciation as well as loyalty. Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and the laugh is on you. Junior Night was a grand success. Thomas Scanlan and his class deserve great credit for the excellent programme of the evening. Remember, Seniors, absence makes the marks grow rounder. Ryan is very much disturbed in study periods by two whispering “pests,” as he calls them. Who are they? Mr. Obear entering the room suddenly, asks: “Why so much noise?” “i don’t know,” innocently answered some- one. Did you ever know of a time when Knslin was unprepared? Answer, in chorus, “Xo! no! no!” Pitman’s motto, “1 miner langsan.” Sew it seems. “When does a man become a seamstress?” “When he hems and haws?” “No.” “When he threads his way?” “No.” “When he rips and tears?” “No.” “Give it up.” “Never if he can help it.” This is a little poem John made up himself:— Had it but one reporter, And that one reporter me. There’d be no Radiator As near as I can see. John: “Do you know any jokes for the Ra- diator.” Waldron: “You’ll find one in the mirror.” Generally speaking—a girl. Some class to our circus. Dothy’s Papa: Mho was here last night, Dotliy ?” Dothy: “Only Alva, papa dear.” Dothy’s Papa: “Well, tell Alva she left her pip on the piano.” Alva: “Say. those two fellows certainly do have a circus.” John: “M'hat two fellows?” Alva: “Barnum Bailey.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 265 1916-A Class Editor, George Gardner, Assistant Editor, Estelle Young. She: “I consider. John, that sheep are the stupidest creatures living ' He: (absent-mindedly): “Yes, my lamb.” What is the difference between electricity and lightning?” C—g—n: “You don’t have to pay anything for lightening.” We will never understand:— Why 1916-A can’t have its own class picture. Win Ekscrgian wears neck ties. How Johansen ever got to be a senior. How Tibbetts thinks of such “witty” things to say. How Newton bluffs the teachers so. Why some people, in a fire drill, always re- member to save their books. Why Gage occasionally recites in English. Why Division B write such—?—English themes. How Stockwell ever became so tall. Why Adams always blushes when our English teacher looks at him. How the members of Division B ever ex- pect to get to college. Why 1916-A has no athletics. (With apol- ogies to Moffat. Johanson and Dunham.) Wiiv Cole and Wood fail occasionally. Why Benson, Mills and Baker like to write themes so well. Why Pride likes French. Why Johansen and Cole are wearing their last year’s straws. Heard at a ball game:— “Who gave you the black eye. Jimmie?” Jimmie “No one. I was looking at the game through a hole in the fence and got sunburnt. Miss H—lM: “How are you getting along at college. Jack?” Jack: I’m awfully busy now. You know I’m trying hard to get ahead.” Miss H—1)—t: “Thank goodness! You al- ways needed one.” Wc have discovered a new genius in 204. Little Miss Strom, our pianist, and she owes it all to Miss M—r—eh. First Freshman: “Say. who was Shylock, anyway?” Second Freshman: What? Don't you know who Shylock was? You had better go home and read your Bible.” Heard at a reception:— “Did you see any of the old masters while you were abroad?” “Mercy, no! They are all dead.” A MODERN PHYLLIS.

Miss D:—Certainly, what would I be doing?” Clerk: “I thought perhaps you might be tak- ing an inventory.” Physician: “Well, what seems to be the trouble this morning?” Miss S —s—y: “It hurts me to breathe. I have a lot of trouble with my breath.” Physician: “Ali right. I’ll give you some- thing that will soon stop that.” Some people wear tortoise shell glasses, others are naturally handsome.

Fletcher advises 11s when we see an auction- eer selling some goods never to buy anything until it has been knocked down. Fletcher, of Room 210. resembles a train. He puffs, puffs, puffs coming up Central Hill. Behold another hello girl! Miss Matthews of Room 210. Heard at the lunch counter:— S-----n: “Do you like those new fish balls?” “Bob”: “I really can’t say, I don’t recollect ever attending one.” LaF—v.a wants to know if the mines planted by the Germans are gold mines.

Make it a point to jot down the happenings in your division and pass them in to your editor. You have no idea how they will be appreciated by the editor. It is hard to be amusing to every- body when all the material is the work of one person from one part of the class. So get together classmates and see that you are rep- resented in the Radiator. Things you will hear June 24:— “Oh. I received all “A’s” on my card.” ”1 am really sorry school has closed.” “Teacher, wouldn’t you give me some les- sons to do over the vacation?” “Let’s go to summer school.” Not a chance! C—ins (in Spanish): “ Ye descended up to the rocky beach.” IV Period Spanish class is having a lan- guage constructed all its own. It is not Span- ish anyway, according to higher authority. Teacher: “How many “voices” are there in grammar, Currie?” Currie: “Three, past, present and future.” “I bet I get better marks than you do, W-------r. Why I know twice as much about our German as you.” Wa—er: “Well, twice nothing is nothing.” C-----e was wrathy at the powers that be when he had to pay twenty pesos for a Ger- man grammar. First he offered five cents for it and then growled and said he could get twice as big a book at the five and ten cent store.” M-----1: “I’m discouraged, Miss M-------gave me a “D.” What would you do if you were in my shoes, kick about it ?” L-----e: “No, get a shine.” 268 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1917-B Class Editor, Charles Young Baker, Assistants, Dorothy Shay, Warren Dodge.

We are very sorry to learn that Miss Curtis will not be with us next year. The Latin play given by the Sophomores was a great success. We are all very glad to welcome back Miss Ahlner after a long illness. Miss Lovering, Miss Shields, and Miss Murphy wili be missed by 1I-B Normal divis- ion. Father to Elizabeth, who has been to a party: “Did any one pay you any attentions?” Elizabeth: “I don't know.” Father: I mean did any one talk to you or dance with you?” Elizabeth: Well. there was a boy who made faces at me.” Miss Curtis should be complimented as suc- cessful coach of the Latin play. Miss Chipm - is already showing signs of a budding genius. Let's hope she blossoms with plenty of stories for the Radiator. We are very proud to hear that Harry Moore has been elected secretary and treasurer of the Boy’s Debating Society and we hope that his classmates will follow iiis example and join in the school activities. Traveller's proverbs for the coming vacation: He's a wise traveler that knows his time table. A friend with a house at the seaside is a friend indeed. MYSTERIES OF ROOM 310 Why Miss Ka—Ionic is going to a boarding school? Why De Caro behaves so well in German and English? Why Miss Gul—i—n is always before a mir- ror ? Why Ro—b—sn knows his Latin so well lately ? Franc’s Pa: “How's this. Franc? You prom- ised to saw some wood if I gave you a quar- ter.” Franc: “I recall no such promise.” Papa: “The idea! I told you I’d give you a twenty-five cent piece if you’d saw some wood, and you agreed.” Franc: “Pardon me, father; you’re exact words were, ‘I’ll give you a lunch if you saw that wood over there by the gate.’ Papa: “Exactly. That’s just what I said.” Franc: “Well. Dad, I saw that wood over there by the gate as I came in.” A farmer went into the restaurant in Liver- pool for some bread and cheese. “What kind would you like, sir?” inquired the waiter. “Cheshire, Yorkshire or Gorgon- zola?” Fancy name that last.” said the farmer. “I think I’ll try a bit of that.” He thought it so tasty that he took a pound home to his wife, and left it on the sideboard in the kitchen. Next morning he came in from his before-breakfast round and inquired if she had found the parcel. “Oh. yes!” replied she. “I saw it there, all right. And very good mottled soap it is. no doubt, when you know how to use it. But I couldn’t make it lather very well when I washed the children, and after I’d done they smelled so strong that I’ve turned ’em out for a breath of fresh air just to sweeten them a bit before they go to school.” Heard in hall during Latin play:— Pupil: “Really, even Mr. Avery said that he only understood a word or two, and I thought that I was stupid not to understand more.” A farmer once called his cow “Zephyr.” She seemed such an amiable hephyr. When the farmer drew near, She kicked off his ear, And now the old farmer’s much dephyr. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 269 1918-A Class Editor William C. Bennett, Assistant Editor, Parke D. Appel.

Teacher (in Latin): “What English word is. made from the Latin word gravis, meaning se- vere?” B----1: “Gravy.” Teacher: “What part of the paper do you read first?” II---d: “The sporting page.” tEbe IFsosceles Cvianglc I v'fi E the Somerville High School has some slight connection with the Literature of Triangles, that fact may justify a simple reference to the matter in the Radiator. A Geometry, at one time widely used, after presenting the problem that if a triangle be isosceles, the bisectors of the equal angles will themselves be equal, reads thus: “State the converse.” This wording is peculiar here, in that the reading in other places, similar, is uniformly. “State and prove the converse.” But in this instance, no proof is asked for. Why? fhe reason was. presumably, that the author himself, at that time, had no proof to offer, by plane geometry. In a certain instance, an instructor, having been asked by students for aid in dealing with the converse proposition, wrote to the distin- guished author of the said text book, and re- ceived the following reply, except that all names are here omitted. “I have no Geometry with me to refer to. If. however, you mean an exercise where I Sim- ply direct the pupil to state the converse, though the direction in preceding exercises is to state and prove the converse. I beg to say that Professor---------, of Cambridge, and I, did after hours of hard work, get a satisfactory proof of the proposition, using only the prin- ciples previously shown. The proof was too long and difficult for a beginner, or for one to do a second time.” This reply speaks for itself. If the writer has been in possession of any satisfactory so- lution. by plane geometry, he would not have written exactly in this way. The same instructor next inquired in a dif- ferent direction, and was referred to W. W. Moss, Esq. Mr. Moss was a young law student, and a graduate of Brown University. He at once sent an easy demonstration, sub- stantially as follows:— SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Let the figure ABC represent any triangle. The lines BE and CD arc bisectors, termin- ating in tlie points E and I), in the triangle sides opposite the angles bisected. The two ecptal angles at I� may he known as each 1 -21) The two at C, as each l-2c. The angle BDC, may be called for convenience x, and the angle IIEC may he called y. The intersection of the two bisectors may be named O, and the angle BOC may he called o. The references are made for the first time in this article and are incomplete. We wish to prove that if the two bisectors are equal, then the triangle ABC is isosceles. Mr. Moss’ Solution Revolve the triangle BEC, upon the line BE, and slide it around until the line BE lies upon its equal DC. and the point C. now falls at C The angle DCC will he the angle v. Where the line DC’ will cut the line AC, is not yet known. Consider the angle BDC’. It is made up of the angles x, and 1-21). But the angle o, is also equal to x. plus 1 -2b. (See Avery’s Geometry theorem 23, page 27.) Hence the angle BDC’ is equal to the angle o. Consider the angle BCC which is made up of the angle y (DCC’) plus the angle l-2c. But the angle o is also equal to the same angles. (Avery, P-27.) The angles BDC, and BCC, and o, then, all three are equal. They are also obtuse angles. For in the tri- angle BOC, 1-21) and l-2c ?re seen to he to- gether less than a right angle, because the whole of I), plus the whole of c, plus the angle A, are equal to two right angles. (Avery The- orem 24.) The angle o therefore must be more than a right angle. Connect B and C. Consider the triangles BDC and BCC . They have one side common. They have the side BC. equal to tic side DC , and they have an obtuse angle of the one equal to an obtuse angle of the other. The two tri- angles are therefore equal in every respect. Hence the three lines BD, CC and CE are all equal. Hence the two triangles BDC’ and BCC arc equal, and the two triangles BDC and BEC also are equal (Averv Book 1 Theorem !)) and b equals c, and the triangle ABC is isosceles. Discussion of this demonstration was published some years ago, in several numbers of “Our Paper.” issued at the Massachusetts Reformatory. Recently a part of those num- bers being found preserved in the offices of Brown University, Professor Archibald wrote desiring to obtain the other copies which were 271 missing. This led to further correspondence, and the Professor sent another and very in- teresting solution of the original problem, which will he useful here. Using the same figure, draw a circumference through the three points B. C and E, and disregard the other dotted lines. That circumference must pass through the point D. For else it must cut the line OD. or else it must cut the line OD produced. Sup- pose it to cut the line OD. Let x, in this pres- ent demonstration, stand for that point. The angle xBE will then be less than the angle DBE. The arc CE will then he greater than Ex. because the angle xBE is less than l-2b. (Avery Book 11, Scho. § 1 Hi.) The arc Ex is equal to the arc xB, because they subtend equal angles. (Avery Book 11, Theorem 3.) The whole arc CEx is therefore greater than the whole arc EXB, and the chord Cx should he greater than the chord BE (Avery Book. 11. Theorem 7.) which is absurd. For BE, being equal to CD, a part of the line CD would need to be greater than the whole. And in the same manner, it may be shown that this circumference cannot cut the line OD produced. It must then pass through the point D. The arc ED, being equal to the arc EC. and also to the arc DB. the three arcs are equal, and their chords arc equal. (Avery Book II, Theorem 7) and the half angles are equal, and the triangle ABC is isosceles. In the course of this correspondence, Pro- fessor Archibald sent the following historical details. This proposition is indeed a famous one. It was in the year IS 10. communicated by Pro- fessor Lehmus of Berlin, to Jacob Steiner, one of the greatest geometers of the 10th century, with a request for a geometrical proof of it. The request was complied with at the time, but Steiner's proof was not published until some years later. In 1852, the great mathematician Sylvester, discussed the problem and stated that he be- lieved a direct proof could not he given. The circumference solution, as we have given it. appears to have been found by Pro- fessor M. C. Stevens, and is said to be pub- lished in the Analist, Des Moines. Iowa. Vol. 6th, page 89. Hftften a Let ABC be any triangle—the two angles at B and C are bisected bv the lines BE and CD respectively, the bisectors ending in the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2 2 triangle sides opposite the angles bisected. Join the points 1) and E by the straight line I)IC. as in the accompanying figure. The angles may be named as in the figure. BC is the triangle side between the angles bisected. 1. If AB and AC are equal, the triangle is isosceles. If AD and AE are equal, the triangle is isosceles. 3. If the bisectors are equal, the triangle is isosceles. I. If either two of the lines 1 1). DE, and EC are equal, the triangle is isosceles. o. If DO and EO are equal, the triangle is isosceles. If the lines DE and BC are parallel, the triangle is isosceles. 7. If in any triangle the bisectors of cither � ne alone of the three angles of the triangle produced will divide the side opposite the bisected angle into two equal parts, that tri- angle is isosceles. S. If the angles ABC and ACB arc equal, the triangle is isosceles. 9. If the angle ADE and AED arc equal, the triangle is isosceles. 10. If the angles BDE and CED are equal, the triangle is isosceles. 11. If the angles marked x and y are equal, the triangle is isosceles. 1?. If the angles ODE and OED are equal, the triangle is isosceles. 13. If the angles OBC and OCB are equal, the triangle is isosceles. 14. If in any triangle the bisector of either one alone of the three angles, produced, will strike the side opposite the angle bisected at right angles, the triangle is isosceles. 15. The converse of each of the previous 1 1 propositions is true, especial care being taken in the statement of the converse of num- bers 7 and 14. For number 7, we suggest this: If a triangle is isosceles, the bisector of some one of its three angles will, if produced, divide the opposite side into two equal parts.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 283 £bc IDalue of Hawn Genius .16 ? Gapt. foarclfc C. jfits, '15 IG AW X tennis is the coming game. Each year sees a large increase in its following, both in high schools and colleges, and in places in- dependent of schools. Cities arc commencing to supply the public with free courts. Why are people becoming so inter- ested in this game? Is it because of newspaper publicity? Other games—football, baseball, hockey, boxing—have attained prominence largely through hundreds of columns of printed matter, but tennis has gained its adherents sim- ply from the merits of the game, without the aid of the newspapers. The reader may have heard it said that ten- nis is a “baby’s game”—that anyone can play it without exerting himself. Invariably, how- ever. the one who says this is ignorant of the game. He has never played it nor has he ever seen an important match between two really good players. There is no game except those of actual bodily contact, such as football, wrestling and boxing where the physical strain is so great. In games in which there are teams, such as baseball there is not nearly as much action as in tennis. In a tennis match one is in action almost continually from two to four hours, while in the team games there is no continued action for any one player. Weeks are often spent in training for an im- portant tournament. But in spite of this, ten- ids is not a game from which ill effects arc likely to result. The game is one which gives the player a good all-around development. Young and old alike can play it. There is no other game that is played by amateurs so widely after they finish school as tennis. Tennis is a game that develops the mind. A successful player must be a student of the game. He must study all its different angles, which may be grouped under two large head- ings: the attack and the defense. Not only must the good player have studied and prac- tised the game thoroughly before entering tournaments, but he must also think, think every minute the game is in progress. He must study his opponent: his character, his pe- culiarities of play, his weak points as well as his strong ones. The player must also know himself and his own weak points in order that he may conceal them. The game brings out a man's individuality. It takes courage to return a speedy drive of Williams’. Who says that it doesn’t take strength and endurance to “serve” and “smash” as McLoughlin does? This strength, however, is not of the brute variety; it is strength under absolute control. Another quality that the game develops is equanimity even under the most trying circumstances. The mind and muscles must be under perfect control of the player. The game of lawn tennis is comparatively new. having originated about forty years ago. Even now the game is played under the same rules in America, the British Kingdom. Ger- many. France, Australasia, Belgium, Austria, Norway and Sweden and some other countries. It has been said that tennis is the most inter- esting and the “most international game.” What other statement is needed to show that tennis is one of the greatest games and that it will continue to rise in the esteem of the world. Cambrige Xatin, Somerville played the first dual tennis match of the season at Jarvis Field. Cambridge, Sat- urday, April 24. Somerville won the match by taking all the single events, although they lost both double matches. Captain Harold Fitz and Donald Rockwell easily beat their opponents. Fitz was good at the net and Rockwell’s cuts were working well. Henry Ashton had a little difficulty in winning against Cambridge Latin’s third man. Somerville was much better in singles than in doubles. The first Somerville doubles were beaten quite easily—their fault being lack of team work. Summary:— 2; Somerville, 3 Score: Somerville. 3: Cambridge Latin. 2. SINGLES. Fitz (Somerville) beat Clark (Cambridge), 6-2. 6-4. Rockwell (Somerville) beat Worcester (Cam- bridge) (3-2. 6-3.

But a superior team of baseball players, such as is the 1915 Senior team, robbed them of the pleasure of Dame Fortune’s company and when the game ended they found, to their chagrin, that they had been forced into the company of that good lady’s daughter. Mis-fortune. The reason for this downfall is apparent. The box artist for the Faculty who had been proclaimed far and wide as impregnable was hit at will. His support with three or four exceptions was equally conspicuous by its absence. Mr. Foster in left field impersonated a certain Snodgrass, of big league fame, to perfection. Mr. Hob- son. a new acquisition to the Faculty team, made several valiant and. in one case, a suc- cessful effort to get his man at first. Both of these men in company with Mr. Nichols, who by the way played an errorless game in the right field garden making no put outs or as- sists. exercised extreme care not to hit the ball and were successful to a marked degree. Cap- tain Hatch and Messrs. Blodgett, Mahoney. Sears and Hosmer deserve commendation for their untiring efforts to induce the fickle bird Victory to perch upon their banner of Black and Blue. Mr. Hosmer made a spectacular running catch « f a hard drive—one of the many that burned through the air and across the grass from the bats of the Seniors, and im- mediately threw to first making a double play and at the same time secured for himself a niche in the hall of fame. Thus much f« r the de- feated. Let us now turn our attention to the heroes of the hour—Captain Hayward and Ins men. the destroyers of happiness among the Faculty. Hayward displayed his right to the leader- ship by the sterling game he played. A tower of strength in the infield, his home run with two men on bases far eclipsed any other play of the day. Nichols played an errorless game at first but on being transferred to short un- corked one wild throw which, however, is ex- cusable. Hayward -at second covered much ground and figured in a double play in the first inning which choked a run. Fit , had little time t show his real worth as he was replaced by Nichols early in the game when Chapin was placed on first. Chapin played a consistent steady game on the field and at bat. Pilsbury stationed at the third cushion, accepted every chance in big league fashion and driving the 1 all hard and fast through the holes for clean cut hits. In the outfield Wilson, who replaced Giroux in left field in the middle of the game, excelled, capturing two hard drives after long runs. Breckenridgc in center field accepted one chance and by a quick return assisted in a double play at second. Giroux misjudged a long fly which allowed one run to come over but made up for that by good stick work during the Senior rally. Magno played a good game but accidentally impeded the progress of one of Mr. Hayward’s fast moving curves. Three pitchers were used by the Seniors— MR.

After the last event had been contested it was found that the Juniors had won the meet. The contestants as a whole were further de- veloped than in previous years and should make a winning- team in the Suburban League game this June 7. The day was ideal and a new record was hung up while two others were equalled. Cap- tain Hall Carpenter was the lad to turn the trick and broke the mile record by twenty-two seconds. He also was the highest individual scorer and very valuable to the senior class for by winning the first in the mile, half-mile and MO, he gathered in fifteen points. The records in the 100 and 220 were equalled by William Murphy, manager of the team, who led the juniors in the point totals credited with a first in both sprints and tied for third in the high jumps. Aside from the above two, the other men of last year’s team to score were George French, a junior, who tied for first in the high jump, 880 and broad-jump; Raymond Woodman, one of the three sophomores to score with a first in the broad jump, third in the 220 and fourth in the shot-put. Ross Shepardson, another junior, tied for first in the high jump and second in the shot-put; Bernard Chapin, the second senior, first in the shot-put. Chester Cotter, the highest scorer of the Sophomores and with only three others with greater points was a good find amongst the new men. He got three seconds in the 100, 22o and MO respectively and fourth in the broad jump. Russel! Cook ran a fine race in the half-mile and with a little more experience ought to produce good results. Norman Mac- Leod. the smallest man on the team and a Jun- ior. livened up competition with a second in the broad jump, tie for third in high jump, third in tlie 1'0 and fourth in the 220. Other new men to gather in points were Harrison, Doug- lass. Donald, Rod well, Tom Thornton, the only freshmen, Roger Thomas, Alex MacLellan and Harry Field. ' SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAM llall B. Carpenter, Captain SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2S7 TRACK mail Carpenter, Captain After a disastrous indoor season the track team braced up and redeemed itself this spring. Three dual meets were won but the team failed to win the Suburban League meet. As a rule the performances were so good that the Ath- letic Association feels that track should be a major sport, and in all probability, at the meet- ing towards the end of the school year will de- cide favorably upon it. For the first time the school was repre- sented at the big intcrscholastic meet where the best men from New England academies and high schools compete for honors. At the Harvard Intcrscholastic. Captain Hall Carpen- ter, by winning the mile run. first placed Som- erville as a track school. At the Brown In- terscholastic. six of the best men were sent to compete. They made the trip over the holi- day and were entertained two days by the uni- versity students. Although they didn’t bring home a large number of points, they had a fine time. Carpenter ran the fastest race in his life there. It was the hair-mile, and al- though only finishing second still he did it un- der two minutes, which was faster than the time of the New England Intercollegiates this spring. French entered the two-mile and al- though obliged to finish third nevertheless put up a good performance. He led the field for seven laps and if he had only had more experi- ence in this event it is believed he would have done better. Murphy, Shepardson. Lanigan and Cotter were the others of the party, but they failed to place. Every season is started off with an inter- class meet. It took place on May 4 at '1 lifts Oval. It was an ideal day and a large number of the school turned out to boost their respec- tive classes. The Juniors easily showed their superiority, and should be of great value to the team next year. The first duel meet proved successful and our old rival. Mechanic Arts, were badly de- feated with the score thirty-eight to twenty- five. Lanigan proved of the greatest value to our team by scoring a first in the half-mile, second in the hundred, and third in the quar- ter. Kilcv came to the foreground as a shot- putter at this meet and never failed to place in the remaining meets. The following Tuesday Belmont was easily beaten with the final score of fifty-one points to thirty. Murphy. Shepardson and Carpen- ter starred with two first places apiece,: Mur- phy in the hundred and two hundred and twenty: Shepardson in the high jump and hop. step and jump and Carpenter in the mile and half mile. At Waltham on Friday, the 28th, Somer- ville found it harder to defeat the High School team than was expected. Before the last event which was the quarter-mile, the opponents were leading, but by taking the first and sec- ond we won by two points. Waltham proved her superiority in the jumping events. W. Murphy received first in the hundred and Kiley in the .shot-put. At the same time that the “six” were at Brown, the rest of our team went to Concord. Owing to a misunderstanding Concord High put in all their best men and thus we were terribly defeated. It is felt, however, that if the whole team had been present that Somer- ville would have won. MacLelian. Kiley, Woodman, and Rockwell scored at this meet. The last and most important meet of the season was the Suburban League Meet, which was held on a bad day at Tufts Oval, June 7. Somerville entered the meet as a favor- ite but Medford showed. superior competitors and defeated the red and blue handily. The score was Medford, forty-three and two-fif- teenths points; Somerville, twenty and three- fifths points, and Melrose seventeen and four- fifteenths points. Malden and Everett although in the league, did not send any men. Carpen- ter. as his last time to run under Somerville’s colors, lived up to expectations and won the mile and half-mile. French was second in the mile and tied for second in the high jump along with Shepardson and three other athletes from the other schools. Kiley placed at second in the shot-put, and Cook. Joe Murphy and Lani- gan each took a third in the half-mile, shot- put and quarter-mile, respectively. The prospects for next year’s team is of the best for Hall Carpenter. David Lanigan. Alex- ander MacLelian and Bernard Chapin will only be lost by graduation. 288 SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EY erett Somevv ille Hv defeating Everett, Medford. Maiden and Melrose, we now are at the head of the Sub- urban League with a lead of two games. We owe this to the wonderful playing of “Billy” Fitzgerald and his team and a number of er- rors made by both Everett and Melrose. The good work was started on Saturday when we defeated Everett by a score of 7-2. It was very near a shut-out game for Somer- ville. as Everett did not score until the last half of the ninth. In both the first and second, Everett came very near scoring, but the work of Bill kept the men from coming across. Dutton also pitched good ball for Everett, but his team did not stay behind him. In the fifth inning he fanned three men. Downing and Ford got two hits a piece, one of Downing’s being a two-bagger and Fitzgerald lead the list by getting three.
