22 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR [Editor’s Notic: This department is to bee »mc a regular part of the Radiator, but on account of few occurrences during the first few months of school it is naturally not as well developed as it will be throughout the year.J jfootball iRallg On Friday. September 24, the first football rally was held in the hall at the close of school. Mr. Sears opened the meeting with a few in- troductory words. Mr. Mahoney followed, and gave an inspiring talk on supporting the team, and thus urging the boys on to the championship. Captain Scanlan made a few remarks which were greatly appreciated and loudly applauded. We have a hustling captain this year, and if the school backs up the team this season we shall have a championship at the end of No- vember. Manager Brower spoke some sentences of an entirely business nature. He commented on the fact that several sweaters had been taken from the field. We hope that such a thing will never happen again in the annals of our school. After practicing several new cheers under our cheer leaders. Morse and Burtnett. the meet- ing dispersed, filled with the spirit of loyalty which we sincerely believe was taken to the field the following two Saturdays, when we de- feated Marlboro. 20 to 0, and Chelsea, 40 to 3. The members of the Phi Alpha sorority this year are: Mary Fulton, president; Marion Wells, treasurer; Katharine Artz. secretary; Mildred Filz, Helen Colley and Madeleine Brine. The present Phi Alphas recently enter- tained their predecessors of 1011 at a poverty party given at the home of Katharine Artz. We are honored this month with an inter- esting and helpful contribution from Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark has always taken a keen interest in all High School organizations. His article is, therefore, of special note. Hn Blcrt Octogenarian's ifiuics for iliealtb By Harvard's President Emeritus. Good rules for maintaining health and effi- ciency are briefly these:— Eat moderately as to quantity, and as to quality use a variety, but with a small propor- tion of meal and eggs. Take exercise in the open air at least an hour a day. Get eight hours’ sound sleep every night. Work hard, but never to exhaustion, and do not work on Sundays. Rise early and go to bed early. Use holidays, week-ends and vacations out- of-doors as much as possible. Do not use habitually any drug or alcohol, coffee, or tobacco. Cultivate serenity, cheerfulness, and good- will.

He thankfully accepted the position and was started upon his new duties immediately, and found that he was able to do his work both to his own satisfaction, and that of his employer. “Remember. Thomas.” Mr. Pickering had said, “ you will be advanced as rapidly as you show by your work that you deserve it.” Tom de- termined to work to the best of his ability and then if he wasn’t promoted it wouldn’t be his fault.

SQM ERVI LEE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 The Radiator extends a cordial welcome to the exchanges of previous years and would gladly include many others. The Radiator can obtain new ideas in arrangement and contents through receiving and profiting by the reading of school papers which come from all over the United States. In the same way the Radiator hopes to help, perhaps in a small way, other papers. The exchange column is a medium, and often the only one, by means of which schooi papers become acquainted, and. in the end. the schools themselves begin to know each other. To its friends thus scattered far and wide o’er the land, the Radiator calls “All hail and good cheer for 1915-101(5.” The following exchanges have been received this month:— Bostonia—Boston University. Boston. Mass. Campus—Maine University. Bangor, Maine. Clarion—Kverett High School, Everett, Mass. Clarion—Portsmouth High School, Ports- mouth. X. 11. Delphian—Moses Brown School. Providence, R. I. Megaphone—Dean Academy. Franklin. Mass. News—Pasco High School, Dade City, Flor- ida. Optimist—Malden High School, Malden, Mass. Shuttle—High School of Practical Arts. Bos- ton. Mass. The arrangement of the Optimist might be improved, but otherwise it is a very interesting weekly with good stories. The Shuttle is a fine paper with every de- partment carried out in a finished way. I'he Kverett High School Clarion might well be improved by an exchange column, better ar- rangement. and a few stories. Not one to be seen! Why not have a few criticisms as well as jokes in your exchange column. Clarion. Ports- mouth High School? '•'he Delphian has some very interesting lit- erary articles, but there is no index.

A young man. upon being refused as escort by a young lady, said:— “You are as full of airs as a music box.” “That may be true.” replied the girl, “but I don’t go with a crank.” The politician rounded the last glorious per- iod of his speech to the rural audience and said: “Now. are there any questions you would like to ask?” “How do you tell a bad egg?” called a voice from the background. When the chorus of laughter had subsided, the lecturer said mtictlv. “If I had anything to tell a bad egg. I think I should break it gently.”
