Law- rence earned the first touchdown, but the sec- ond was the result of a fumble by a Somerville back. The Somerville backfield played a good game, but the line, with the exception of Shep- ardson, were on the field, but apparently didn’t know it. However, every team has an ofi'-day once in a while, so cheer up and the boys will profit by the lesson. Summary:— LAWRENCE HIGH SOMERVILLE HIGH Kennedy, l.e...........r.e., Brosnahan.

Mother.” spoke up Tom. “You know that I will obey you in every thing, as I always have, but I really don’t like the idea of leaving the house.” “I must confess that I secretly want to live here myself,” responded his mother, “but I thought that it might be for the best to move.

I move that we stay here.” “Second the motion.” cried Tom, “and I’m glad that’s settled.” Three years have passed since the little fam- ily discussion that ended so happily, and now Tom is a floorwalker in the establishment of Pickering Co., a rise that was highly merited in every way. He had been faithful to his employer’s interests in every little thing, true to his resolve, and, as we have seen, Mr. Pick- ering had not allowed his services to go un- rewarded. Tom now receives a fine salary of thirty dol- lars per week, thus enabling him not only to support his mother and sister with case, but to deposit a substantial sum in the bank every week also.

24 SOMER VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Somerville started the football season of 1915 with over sixty candidates for the eleven in the field. Coach Dave Morey is lucky in having back this year almost all of last year’s backfield, namely. Captain Tom Scanlan, Tom Thornton, Ned Keating. Archie Giroux, as well as Bradley of last year’s squad. Egan of the 1913 team, and St. Angelo, the baseball captain. At the extremity positions Somerville has Sliney and Johansen from last year’s squad and in addition Wiley and Brosnahan, both of whom are showing up well for new men. The line contains a few rather formidable looking veterans in the persons of “Shrimp” Shcpardson, “Scrapper” Baxter and a thin fel- low named Ford; also Riley, Dunham and Gilman of last year, and Phil Murphy. Heffer- nan. Higgins and Conlan, new men. This heavy and scrappy line and the fast backfield ought to make the other Suburban League aggrega- tions feel like croquet teams. ---------------------------- Somerville, 25; ffbariboro, o Somerville, like Waltham, had an easy propo- sition in this game and used the overhead game for a number of good gains, two of which re- sulted in touchdowns by Thornton and Keating. One of the other touchdowns was made by Giroux and the other was made by Captain Scanlan. who ran almost sixty yards through a broken field. Somerville's backfield played exceptionally well, but the line, being a trifle too eager, was the cause of a few offside penalties. LaForme. the captain of Marlboro, played the tackle opposite Shcpardson; and as both men are quite husky, the play was very inter- esting. The line-up:— SOMFRYTLLF HIGH MARLBORO HIGH Johansen.

The only score that Chelsea was able to negotiate was a pretty little drop-kick by Gerstein, and this score was made off the first team. Mahoney confined himself chiefly to line-plugging, though on one or two occasions he used forwards and to good advantage. The running of St. Angelo was excellent and also this lad punted well. We ought to hear good things of Johnny in the league games. Summary:— SOM FRVILLK HIGH. CHELSEA HIGH Brosnahan. Johansen, l.e....r.e.. Sccgal. Alpert Gilman, P.

Makes Fortune in West by Mining and Uses It to Put the P----- Bank on Its Feet Again and Pay Depositors. Tom fairly jumped for joy and hurriedly scanned the column underneath for further particulars concerning the restitution. Sud- denly the door bell gave a sharp peal and Tom scampered to the door to receive a letter from the postman. It was from the P---------- Bank stating that four thousand, five hundred dol- lars was deposited there waiting his pleasure. “Gee, mother, it seems too good to be true, don’t it?” exclaimed Tom, after reading the missive to his mother, who was only able to nod her head, as her heart was too full for ut- terance. The Wade family’s cup of joy is now running over, so let us leave them with congratulations on the happy way in which things finally turned out.

Therefore, if fears creep into your mind, overcome them, and keep at the subject; for it is well known that numerous men graduate from college without any discipline since they have chosen what subjects they wished, and have not been given difficult subjects which would train them in self-control.

Somerville t iob School s Rew Cbcatrc Do you know of the new Shakespearian Theatre that is being erected in the Somerville High School? It is being constructed quietly and with great care and is to be formally dedi- cated the last of this month. It resembles the theatres of Shakespeare's time in the respect, at all events, that the mana- gers rely upon the imagination of the audience to supply all deficiencies. The stage director is Master Underhill. The scene painters: Masters Jackson. Bingham, and Underhill. The chairman of the musical com- mittee is Miss Hamlin. It is expected that this theatre will be a great success. Do you ask, what is the name of this theatre? Why, it is the Stratford Theatre. Where is it? In Room IIS of the West Building, and who are the builders? Why. the II-A English C Division.
