PEARSON, ’18-A HE throngs of late shoppers were hurrying on their homeward way, along the busy city streets, in the spring twilight. Among them was Winifred Arnold, a very attractive girl, who had been shopping with her mother. Suddenly the girl stopped short. “What is it. Winifred?” inquired her mother. “Have you forgotten anything?” “Yes. mother. I intended to get a chiffon scarf to wear to the ball this evening. I’ll run into this store and get one.” was the reply. Oh. don’t bother. Winnie. 1 can’t wait for you. and you really don’t need another scarf. You have plenty at home. And besides it is too late. It is a quarter to live and the stores close at five.” protested her mother. “You need not wait for me. mother, al- though it won’t take me a minute. And I just have to have that scarf. I know that I have about a hundred at home, but they are all mussed. It is out of the question to go to an af- fair of the Delanceys’ in anything that isn’t ab- solutely new. And this party is especially im- portant because it is given in honor of their cousin from the West, who is a very wealthy young man. I’ll have plenty of time to get the scarf.” and heedless f her mother’s arguments, the girl turned back and entered the large de- partment store. There were only a few straggling shoppers in the store, and for the most part the activities of the store’s employees were centred upon gathering up and packing away the wares. W inifred made her purchases and turned to go when she remembered something else. “I promised to take tea with Laura Corwin, and here it is five o’clock.” she said to herself. “How careless of me to forget! I must call her up and explain.” She went to one of the pay stations in the store and called up her friend. “Well. I’ll see you at the party tonight.” concluded Winifred after a twentv-minutes conversation. “I’m just crazy to see that cousin, aren’t you? They say he is very handsome and worth millions. Of course I don’t expect him to dance with me. That would be too great an honor. There will be hundreds present and I shall be satisfied just to get a glimpse of him. Well, good-by. See you later.’’ Winifred hung up the receiver and opened the door i f the booth. She looked about her in con- sternation. The sight that met her astonished eyes caused her heart to contract. The store lights were dim and there was not a soul to be seen. Apparently she was alone in the silent, deserted store. However, just as she turned around, the door of the adjoining telephone booth opened and she came face to face with a young man. “Oh. I beg your pardon.” they both exclaimed at once as they came in contact. Winifred glanced up at the man. He was tall, stalwart, and somewhat sunburned. We seem to be prisoners.” said the stranger affably as he grasped the situation. “Yes.” rejoined Winifred, “is there no way in which we can escape?” 1 will try the door.” he said. He pushed the great revolving door, but it was of no avail. “I will telephone the police and they will con- nect with the proper authorities to come to ur rescue.” and he disappeared into the telephone booth again. He came out in a minute. “It may be some time before they locate the party with tlu keys. he said, “so you may have to put up with my company for a while.” “Oh. I hope they won’t take long!” she ex- claimed anxiously, “for I have an engagement this evening. So have I. remarked the man. “that is how I happen to be here now. I arrived on the noon train from the West to spend a week with some relatives. My baggage will not arrive till to- morrow. Imagine my feelings when they told me that they are having a ball in my honor to- night. 1 had to do some tall skirmishing to get a dress suit and a few other accessories in time. Xot knowing the habits of these Eastern depart- ment stores. I stopped to do a little ’phoning and this is the result, not'that I am at all sorry.” he added gallantly. “I got caught in the same way.” said Winifred. “I am going to a party tonight, too. and I dashed in here at the very last minute to get a chiffon scarf that 1 didn’t really need.” We mav as well introduce ourselves.” he said. I am John Delancey.” Why. how strange.” laughed the girl, “it is your party I am going to.” “That is a strange coincidence.” said John. “I am verv glad to meet one of the guests before- hand. They will all be strangers to me with the exception of my cousins and I hate to dance with SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR strange girls. May I have the first few dances with yon to give me courage, Miss --------” “Arnold.” she supplied, “No, Mr. Delancey, I don’t think it would he good policy for you to dance with me more than once or ’wice. I know a good many girls who are dying to dance with you and you must give them a chance.” “Oh. protect me. Miss Arnold.” he begged. Really. 1 am awfully shy and a lot of girls dying «•h mv account would put me in a panic. 1 should feel like a murderer. She laughed. Really, you sound as if you were shy. W hat department are we in now? I think it is the jewelry department. How tunny it looks with nothing on the counters. Isn’t an empty store an awful place anyway? I should die of fright if you weren’t here to protect me, Mr. Delancey. Oh. what is that noise!” she ex- claimed suddenly, it comes from behind the counter.” “I’robablv a mouse.” suggested John. I’ll look.” Oh. I hope not!” she exclaimed with fer- vor. drawing her skirts about her. 1 detest the things.” It proved to be something much more substantial than a mouse. Under the counter crouched a man. Reside him was a bag heavy with plunder, lie had evidently seen a detective coming and had dodged under the counter. At closing time he had seen no way of escape. John dragged him out bv the collar. He was a short, thick-set man. a head shorter than John, lie made no effort at resistance, but he slowly drew his hand toward his hip pocket. John’s sharp eye discerned the movement. Here. he said. I’ve seen that little trick be- fore.” and quick as a flash he sprang behind the man and pinioned his arms to his sides. The man tried t« wrench himself loose but John’s grip was vise-like. Miss Arnold.” he said calmly, “come and hand me what this gentleman has in his pocket.” Winifred, who had been looking on horrified, ap- proached the man somewhat gingerly, it must be confessed, and drew a large revolver out of his pocket. John took it from her and reversed his position to one in front of the man. I will hold him at bay,” he said to Winifred, “while you search his bag.” She opened the bag and disclosed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. I thought so.” said John. “Quite a neat little job.” He leaned against the counter with the pistol aimed at the thief as nonchalantly as if nothing had happened. “Really. Mr. Delancey,” exclaimed Winifred in admiring tones, “I never saw such remarkable courage!” “You displayed some pretty cool nerve your- self.” was the rejoinder. “1 was so relieved it wasn’t a mouse,” she ex- plained and then laughed. “Here comes help,” said John as he heard a key turn in the big door. When they were re- leased from their prison he turned his captive over to the hands of the police and refused the reward. I enjoyed it. he explained, there is so little excitement in the East.” We must hurry.” he said to Winifred when they were settled in a taxi, it is nearly eight o’clock, too late for the ball. Let’s go to some show instead. I don’t like the idea of being an exhibition myself.” “That is out of the question.” said Winifred. I would rather go to a show than arrive late at the party, but your cousins would be disappointed if you weren’t there. Think how people could talk. And it would be a shame for me not to get a chance to wear the scarf for which I went through all this excitement.” As a consequence of their adventure there were two late arrivals at the party. If she had let him. John would have danced all the dances with Winifred. As it was, she had all the girls looking at her in unconcealed envy. Many of them would have paid a price for a glance from the popular Westerner, but he seemed to have eyes for no one but Winifred Arnold. It is to be feared that John neglected his cousins somewhat that week in order to spend more time with Winifred. There was one more dance the night before John’s departure. This time he acted as Winifred’s escort. It was a warm evening and during the intermission they went out on the moonlit cupola for a breath of air. Winifred.” said John suddenly, “it may be rather soon to ask you. I have only known you a week, but we Westerners waste no time. Will you marry me. Winifred? I want your promise to take back with me. I have loved you ever since our adventure in the department store. Will you consent, darling?” Winifred was too happy for words and few were needed. John drew her to him. When he released her from his embrace she took the scarf from her shoulders and held it up for his obser- vation. “Just think.” she said, “this flimsy bit of silk has shaped the destinies of two lives. If I hadn’t gone back to buy this chiffon scarf I might never have known you.” “Bless the chiffon scarf!” exclaimed John, rapturously, “when we are married we will have it framed.” 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Dream MARJORIE J. BEERS, T7-B HER I', was every possible reason to make me believe I should enjoy a long- night’s sleep when 1 went to bed last night. There was nothing to worry me and I never was in bet- ter health. But still 1 lay hour upon hour thinking of a certain book I had just read in which the Rome of Augustus, about which he said: “I found Rome a city of brick. I left it a city of marble. was minutely described. I al- ways did like such things, but this book im- pressed me especial!). I think a distant clock struck three just as I finally dropped into slumberland. I dreamed a strange dream then. I was a child—a happy, gay child—and I sat swinging on a iow apple tree branch. The tree was a glorious mass of soft pink blossoms and the grass beneath was green and dotted with dandelions. The spring sun shone warm and bright in the dear blue sky of heaven. Suddenly a bird flew by—close by me. Twas a beautiful bird. It’s plumage was as varied as a rainbow and as it passed it uttered a strange, weird cry. that thrilled me and compelled me to follow. I skipped away, ever pursuing that low. skimming bird and my eyes saw naught but it. Ever and anon it uttered its call. Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, it disap- peared in a fleecy cloud floating just above. T bethought me of my apple tree and turned to run back, but as I raised my eyes I saw a fountain. Peering into its crystal depths 1 beheld a woman and not a child. Had I in those few min- utes passed half a life-time? 1 wondered where I was and then I began to wander about. A familiar object greeted me here, another there. Suddenly it all came to me. 1 was in Rome—that wonderful city of my de- sires. It was just as it had been when Augustus left it in fourteen A. I). I wandered on—the Temple of Jupiter greeted me as a friend. The Eorum seemed a life-long acquaintance and the Temple of Janus and the Pantheon loomed up as familiar as the mountains that overshadowed mv childhood home. I strayed down to the Tiber—that fast flowing stream. My feet were weary and sore and 1 climbed upon a rock and dipped them in the water's cool depths, and as I leaned over, the image there reflected was that of an old woman, gray-haired and stooped. Suddenly the rock on which I sat moved and floated as it were to mid-stream and then down the river. A voice somewhere murmured: “Life is o’er! Life is o’er.” Rome faded from my eager eyes and then the rock sank lower and the waters rushed over my head. The sun rising awoke me from my dream, and I whispered: Life is not yet ended! It has just begun.” -------------- The Earnest Efforts of an Elderly Lady to Make the Old Horse Go ELL. David, this is a lovely morning and we can go right along, can’t we ?” “Come bov. giddapA'luck. cluck.” “Go ’long. David, now, you must go long, cluck, cluck.” “David, if you don’t go along I’ll scold you, you old slow poke.” “Go ’long now. cluck, cluck.” And David plodded on. “Now. David, this is down hill and you must go ’long.” “David, you’re the most foolish old horse I ever knew. “Why don’t you trot down this hill instead of holding the carriage back?” “Come, giddap.” And David plodded on. “Now. David, please go along, if you don’t I -am going to whip you.” “Come. now. David. please go ’long.” “There. I’ve got to do it.” Tap. tap, tap. tap. “Giddap. David.” “David, if you don’t go along I—I—I don’t know what I’ll do.” I law-w-w-w-w-ruck!” “There, maybe that unaccustomed noise will make him trot. Giddap. David.” “David, if you don’t go along I’ll poke you with the butt end of this whip.” Poke, poke, poke. And David plodded on. “Mary, will vou hold these reins while I try to hit him under the stomach?” Tap. tap. tap. “C’ome bov. cluck..cluck.” “Well. Mary, you’ll have to take the reins again. I’m all tired out.” “I guess we’ll let him walk.” And David plodded on. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 Student of the S. II. S.: Keep your mind on college. Have that for your ultimate goal, livery pupil should strive f � r a college education, not only for the value of the studies alone, but for the associations and friendships he will form there. Think of it! You will touch elbows with men from all parts of the country, and even from outside our country. You will get their ideas and viewpoints, exchange opinions with them, which will be of inestimable value to you both. Take the best from every man you meet and give your best in return. College will broaden your mind and enlarge your viewpoint of life, and in every way it will equip you to meet and overcome the problems of the world. Get to college if it is a possible thing, and it is possible for anyone who honestly desires it and is determined to get it. r r join the debating societies! Harry Moore and Miss Haskell will welcome all newcomers to the ranks of their respective societies. It is, of course, needless to say that Harry Moore leads the boys’ contingency, while Miss Haskell does the same thing in respect to the girls' society. Last year, both the boys’ and the girls’ team brought home the shield to Somerville, denoting, of course, championship teams. Now. students, we’re going to duplicate that performance again this year. To do that, every- one who can talk above a whisper must come out and support the team. Freshmen! Don't lag behind, saying to your- self that you can never make the team. Of course you can’t if you never come out. Simi- larly, of course you can. if you will come out. Perhaps not the first year, but that year will lay the foundation for future years, and bear this in mind: You will get a place on any team by hon- est. persistent effort, backed up. of course, by a certain amount of skill. Remember: Ability -f- YYork = Certain Results. r i r Students! e have a football team in this school. Do you realize it? A football team! Moreover, it is composed of a bunch of workers. Understand? Workers! If you don’t believe it. ask Captain Ned Keating or Coach Dicker- man. Now comes the momentous question— Arc you working? The plain, bald facts point to the contrary. Over half of this great school is not working in support of the football team. A listener in the hall after school at the mass meeting before the Waltham game would un- doubtedly have gone away thinking what fine school spirit there'was at Somerville High. But the greater part of that volume of cheering was mere wind. One of our instructors said as much to the editor and it is true. Mere wind! As the above-mentioned instructor said, only those should be allowed to cheer who had already pur- chased tickets, or who were intending to do so. Why don’t you support the team—our team— your team? I know that you all hear a great deal about school spirit and supporting things these days, but it is necessary, or it would not be mentioned. When you entered this school, you became a member of one of the finest high schools in the United States. Therefore, to be a faithful mem- ber, it is your bounden duty to support every organization of the school that you possibly can. Above all remember this: “If you can’t ‘boost don’t ‘knock.’ ” 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR On October VI. the Seniors voted for their class officers at tin- polling booth on School Street. The results were as follows: Harry Moore, president: Dorothy Haskell, vice-presi- dent; YVilda Chipman. secretary: Harold Koib, treasurer. Harry Moore is also president of our justly famous Debating Society, and was one of the stars on the victorious debating teams which, for two vears past, have won the championship of the Triangular Debating League. r r � r Seniors: It is all very well, quite admirable in fact. t say in a declamatory manner: “Now that we are Seniors, let us conduct ourselves as such and show our instructors that we can be- have as becomes boys and girls in that exalted state.” That, as is stated above, is undeniably worthy of emulation, but—unfortunately for all concerned.—Seniors, as well as the more common run of students, have been known to fail to live up to that high ideal. Now to get down to serious business. Seniors, we really ought to be able to see by this time the folly of some of the petty childish actions that are wont to occur too often in some of our class- rooms. Of course, some laughable incidents arc bound to come up in the course of a period’s work, and the students all know that no teacher objects to the class enjoying such occurrence, provided it be under the right conditions. Childishness does not belong to a school like ours. Seniors. It may be all right in the little red schoolhouse on the hill, but it is entirely out of place here. We have a record to live up to. Seniors. The under classmen look to us for guidance. Are we giving them the right sort? Think it over. Now. fellow classmates, this is not a sermon— merely plain facts, and the editor sincerely hopes that you will take it in the spirit in which it is given, and practice it with him. Remember: Actions speak louder than words. r w Freshmen: You arc welcome to the joys and trials of the S. II. S. 'Hie joys are many and the trials are few. unless you yourself choose to make them otherwise. It’s a good old school. Freshmen, and it will use you right if you use it right, and one of the few things you are re- quested to do in that direction is to support your school paper, the Radiator. The Radiator costs seventy-five cents per year, ten cents per copy, and is issued monthly. Furthermore, please remember this: Nothing will give you more pleasure in future years than to look back over four profitably-spent years in the S. II. S. with the cvcr-ready assistance of your Radiators for those years. Think of it. Freshmen! All the jokes, joys, achievements and accom- plishments of your four high school years pre- pared in a condensed form awaiting your pleas- ure. The editor will not tell you how easy it would be for you to save a dime from your pocket money once a month, or to go without so much lunch as you are accustomed to have for a day or so in order to purchase your monthly copy of the school paper. He will not tell you of all these little helps toward getting your Radiator, because he feels positive that the class of 1JMJ0, your class, is go- ing to do things and be somebody in the old school, and to do that the class must back up the Radiator, not only by purchasing every num- ber. but by writing stories, handing in class jokes and assisting your class editor. The editor and your class editor will be pleased and gratified to receive any literary efforts from all. � r r� Students: In any walk of life and in all phases of human experience, success is the re- sult of persistent effort. Real success—and that is what we all should strive for—can be accom- plished in no other way. If you attain any ideal for which you have striven, you have succeeded and are a success. In all probability, you regard a wealthy or influential man as a success. In one interpretation of the word, and in the eyes of the world, he undoubtedly is: but—here is where you must stop and consider—is that sort of success the real kind? That self-same man. in the innermost recesses of his heart, may know himself for a miserable failure, because the inner man has failed to over- come something which he has striven to con- quer. That’s a point worth thinking over, and it is also worth acting upon.

New York j:— Concentration: Put your whole mind on what you are doing. Concentration is the finest time- saver and way of learning that has ever been discovered. Where: Study in the quietest room and in the best light you can get. Daylight is much belter than artificial light. If you must study in the evening, let the light shine on your page over your left shoulder. Be sure your study room is well ventilated. How: Have your tools ready. It wastes time to run around for paper, pen, pencils or books after you have started work. When: Study when you are rested. Wait a little while after meals. If you attend recita- tions in the morning you can probably study best between 3 and •“ , or between 1 and in the af- ternoon. 'Kite next best time is between '• and 0 in the evening.

Som. 24102 82-B Highland Avenue SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR '9 ♦ • ♦ ••• i ATHLETICS % ♦ Somerville was by no means slow in begin- ning its 191« football year. Although school was delayed three weeks practice began on the 13th of September with nearly thirty candidates out at the first call. Within two weeks thirty more were added to the scpiad and practice began in earnest. Coach Dickerman had plenty of new material this year and has turned out a well developed team. “Ernie” Gilman. “Cement” Ford and “Cupid” have been found to have better qualities than last year and are filling their old positions in the line. “Niffcr” Roach. “Dina” Reardon, “Jim” Stceves and Treat, who are all new men. have shown up very well and are working hard to make permanent positions for themselves in the first line of defence. The end positions have many seekers this year, but Young and Hirshson have a little edge over Hopkins. Cotter. Gillooly and Sherman. In the back field Captain “Ned” and Tom” Thornton are the old standbys, while Shea, Downey. I fierce. Coyne and Sullivan appear to be worthy of a place. At quarter, Louis Smith from St. John’s Prep, is doing well, while Mahoney is a very close second. With all this material and a first-class coach it looks as if Somerville was in for a winning season. Here’s hoping for a prosperous year in ath- letics. SOMERVILLE, 20; FITCHBURG NORMAL, 0 Somerville opened its football season in proper form « ii Saturday. September 23, when it de- feated the heavy Fitchburg Normal team. 20 to 0. 'The “Red and Blue” had no difficulty in plac- ing the ball beyond their opponents’ reach while every play that Fitchburg tried was nipped in the bud. Fitchburg failed to make one first down, and never came beyond Somerville’s 35-yard line. The visitors fumbled the kick-off and Somer- ville recovered it and pushed the ball right down to the S-yard line and Smith then went over for a touchdown, lie also kicked the goal. In the same quarter Hirshson received a pretty forward pass from Smith and went over the chalk line for another touchdown. Downey also scored a touchdown in the third quarter. The work of “Ned” and “ Torn” in the back- field and Ford and Gilman in the line for Som- erville was excellent, while Sullivan, Rossier and Tucker featured for Fitchburg Normal.

The second team played a fine game in the last period and scored a touchdown against the speedy Marlboro eleven. Smith played his usual fine game at quarter and kicked three of the four tries for goals from touchdowns. “Ned” also lived up to his reputa- tion and scored three touchdowns, while “Am- brose” and “Dina” opened holes large enough for a wagon .to go through.

Somerville did not show any real football un- til tin third period, when after a series of rushes by Keating, Sullivan and Shea, the ball was brought t the s-yard line and “Neddo” then carried it over for the only touchdown of the game. Louis Smith kicked the goal. Although the substitutes of Downey and Thornton played well, the presence of these two stars would prob- ably have made a big difference in the score. Garrity and Turner played well for Newton and also showed great ability in breaking up forward passes as Somerville only succeeded in making one successful pass. Keating and Sul- livan were Somerville’s leading stars. The lineup:— SOM ER VILLE. NEWTON. Hirshson. I. e.........r. e.. Murphy. Cannon Roach. 1. t...............r. t.. E.

SOMERVILLE, 13; BRIDGEWATER NORMAL, 0 Playing against a team which outweighed them (with the exception of Jim” Sleeves) and which was composed of high school graduates Somerville beat the Bridgewater Normal foot- ball team, E5 to n. The game was tilled with rough playing and penalties. Somerville suffer- ing t a great extent from both these elements, and from this it seems evident that Bridgewater will not have a place on Somerville’s schedule next year. ----------------------------- SOMERVILLE, 52; MELROSE, 0 Somerville won its first league game this year by beating Melrose 5 3 to n. Melrose never had a chance t score while Somerville took the ball up and down the field as if they were going through signal practice, and the only time they stopped was when the referee would penalize them, which was very frequently. Early in the first period Melrose was forced to make a safety and four plays later Smith crossed the goal line. He missed an easy goal. In the second quarter Smith received a punt from Leonard, went through the entire Melrose team for a 150-yard run and the second touch- down. Smith scored again in this quarter and Downey followed his example. In the last half Smith. Thornton and Mahoney scored touchdowns and one goal was kicked.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 SOMERVILLE, 6; WALTHAM, 7 Of the 5,000 people that left Waltham field af- ter the Somerville-Waltham game, those that were wearing Waltham watches were in great glee, while those that were of the “Seven Hill” variety seemed very downcast, the reason being that for four consecutive years Waltham has either beaten or tied Somerville and that this year another defeat is added to our score. Of course there were many “ifs” and “huts,” still the fact remained that we were beaten by a team of equal ability. “Ned” Keating was Somerville’s right hand man, for he bucked the line for many gains and it was he who scored Somerville’s only touch- down. Thornton also showed the same old pep and was always in on Waltham’s plays. Neither team tried many forward passes, but played old football. Waltham having a slight advantage over Somerville. In the first period Louis Smith tried for a field goal, but failed, and Waltham punted from the 20-yard line. After a series of line plunges by Keating and Thornton the ball was brought to the S-yard line. Here the quarter ended. On the third play of the next period Keating went over for a touchdown. Louis failed to kick the goal. After a 55-yard run by Cousins me ball was brought to the 5-vard line, but Somer- ville held for downs and punted. Waltham quickly brought the ball back to the 5-yard line and Cousins squirmed his way over for a touch- down. Frank Smith kicked the goal. The line plunging of the backs on each side was very noticeable and the punting of Gatelv was well worth praise. The lineup:— SOMERVILLE. WALTHAM. Young, r. e....................1. e..

It was he who made a 10-vard run and brought the ball within striking distance of Medford’s goal, and it was he who scored the tally also. Louis Smith kicked the goals. Donnellan was Medford’s shining light as he genera led his team in great style and was al- ways ready to gain live or six yards for his team- mates.

It’s the “dark of the moon” for Somerville nowadays, for example: Downey out: cracked ankle. Stceves out; studies. Somerville loses by one point, etc. Gately’s punting in the Waltham game was well worth praise, for the Somerville backs were at ends to know where they were going to land. There seemed to be a plenty of Downey in the Marlboro game. Much credit should be given to “Mike” Hart for the faithful way in which he helps the boys on this year’s squad, l ie is a brother of “Eddie” Hart, the Princeton athlete, and besides being a trainer he is also a musician. All out for the Rindge game this year and watch Somerville bring home the bacon. Somerville has not made one successful drop kick this year! What’s the matter. Louis?

LYLE, ’19-ii T was a cold, snappy November morning, the trees stood like great images, leafless, but still stately, their tops swaying to and fro with the wind, which would every min- ute or two sweep the mountain- side. Everything was still and serene, the ground was frozen hard and the little brooklets, gushing here and there, possessed a thin sheet of ice. but would soon be thawed by the sun. just rising in its beacon red over the horizon. The birds were singing sweetly, as if they real- ized that everything was so beautiful and quiet. Now and again, a spry rabbit would bob out from under a bush, and scare from its posture a frog which would jump on the thin ice of a tiny rivulet, and then make a queer noise, as if in mockery to its tormentor. All this Tom lloyt took in from his position on the side of the mountain, where he stood in the middle of the trail, just out of sight of the small settlement below in the valley called Eairview. He saw plainly the majestic Bay of I'undy. now glisten- ing in the morning sunlight, and his heart was filled with unspeakable joy. He was very happy because of all this, but more so, because he held in his hand a brand new Winchester. He was off on his first hunt- ing trip alone, and possessed a gun that he could really call his own. He stood there, un- knowingly completing the beautiful picture, a boy nearly full-grown, with broad shoulders, athletic build, and a frank, open face. One could easily see that he was inured to the hardships of farming, for he had especially large hands; he wore the farmers’ slouch hat. and his general bearing was that of a boy who had al- ways followed a free and open-air mode of living. He turned and continued up the trail until he reached the top of the small mountain. Now and again he would pass a meadow, now fast growing with bushes and young trees, where men of the past generation had cleared a field and had built a staunch log cabin, lie kept on until he came to a large knoll, and reaching the top. saw just over the tree-tops below him. a small lake, whose beautiful blue waters just matched that of the cloudless sky. and harmonized perfectly with the spruce and fir trees vthich surrounded it on all sides, as far as the eye could see. He stood taking in his second experience of a beautiful scene. The young hunter then set off again, emerg- ing into the woods on the upper side of the lake. and took any course that chance brought in his way. making scarcely any noise, if at all. for he had on his feet a pair of moccasins, which lu- had bought the same time that he had purchased his gun. and he was skilled in woodcraft, be- cause ever since he was able to keep up to the pace of his father be had accompanied him on short hunting trips. After he had gone a short distance into the woods, always keeping near the edge of tlie lake, where brooks formed in- lets. he made a birchbark horn with his hunting knife, for he was about to call a moose. This lie had learned from his father and neighboring hunters, until he had become a “ven good hand at it.” according to an old and experienced hunter, named Jake Turner. He had never put his learning into practice, but he was willing to make a start, lie raised the horn to his lips and called the moose with such accuracy as is difficult to attain, and which so few hunters possess. Then he listened, lie wondered if there would be any responsi-. Would the sought game come? Hark! Was that a mighty bull, roaring and tearing through the woods and coming to his call? Alas! It was a flock of partridges, flying between the bushes nearby, which sounded like some large animal, just within hearing distance, coming at a great speed. He went on a few paces, and then called again, listening for a short time after he had called. Then he trudged another short distance, calling again, and repeated this at short intervals, listening after every call, until he had gone what seemed nearly five miles. 'fired, hungry and discouraged, this young hunter decided to rest and eat his lunch at the side of the next brook which he came acros . Soon he came upon that which he desired, and looked on its rippling waters with quiet content- ment. but he did not meditate long, for he was famished. He flung himself down on the soft moss beside the brook with a sigh of relief, and pulled out of his pocket the lunch which his mother, whom he loved so well, had prepared for him. He unwrapped it quickly and saw tie- dainty lunch with a large piece of marble cake with a thick chocolate frosting and three large walnuts on to]). Just what he liked best. Gee. that was “rippin’ good.” mother. He laid the lunch down on the moss, and lying flat on the ground, drank of the cold water in the brook. Then came that lunch. He “took at it like :• ravenous bear, and there was nothing left in a few minutes but that large, red bandanna hand- SOMERVILLE HIHH SCHOOL RADIATOR 29 kerchief which had been wrapped about the relished lunch. Tom remembered his mother had told him she had slipped something in his hip pocket which she said must not be touched until he had finished his lunch. He eagerly put his hand into that pocket, and withdrew it. hold- ing something wrapped in paper, and opening it. he saw three, large peppermints which would be his dessert. That mother of his seemed to realize everything that he wanted. Then, after eating these, lie again drank of the refreshing brook water, then picked himself up and should- ered his gun. Once again was he off on the hunt, now a dillerent hunter than he who had but half an hour ago seated himself on the moss beside the brook. He had come as far as a large hill called Por- cupine Mountain, and now decided to turn about and make his way to the place where he had first emerged into the woods. It had taken him all morning, and good long one that, to come to where lie now stood, and he realized it would be near dusk or after before he came to that trail which ended at the head of the small lake. He made a new horn, taking special pains with it, for he was determined that he would get that which lie had hunted for so long, namely a big bull moose, or even a good sized buck or a deer would, perhaps, satisfy him. He started out and he put all the energy lie pos- sessed in that first call, but still no response. He walked on a short distance, and again lie called, again the same result, lie repeated the performance of the morning until he was sick and tired of calling, a longer interval coming between each call, until he called once in about every half-hour. T he sun was just sinking over the horizon when he came to a knoll, higher than the rest. and saw just a short distance away from the lake and the trail. That gave him fresh energy, so he determined to call just once more, and he called as he had never called before. lie lis- tened. He heard an angry snort, the snapping of iimbs. and the thundering of great hoofs, al- ways coming nearer. He looked in the direction from which the noise came. Oh. what a sight! He saw something which chilled his blood. great animal, as big as a horse, with great antlers and fiery eyes, shining like great balls of fire, frothing white foam at the mouth, with his head slightly lowered, snorting and bellowing, coming right towards him. There! lie had just scented his hunter. Listen to him snort! Tom was seized by a panic of fear and despair, and realized that his gun and marksmanship was his only hope. Could lie kill the moose? Would his bullet go through? He raised his rifle with all the steadiness he could command. He real- ized the situation and aimed right between those two great balls of fire. He leaped backwards, out of the course of the oncoming moose, but at the same instant the moose jumped high in the air and then fell dead, just a few feet from where Tom had shot. The bullet had gone through and the animal had used his last bit of life and now lay dead on the ground. Tom breathed a sigh of relief and gazed upon his prize, a full-grown moose. His heart leaped with joy. he had been triumphant in his last call, lie bled the animal and then took his last look, before going home, at the spoils of his first hunting trip. T hen he directed his steps to the trail and on down the trail towards home. At last, he came in sight of the lamp-light in the window of his own home and realized the truth- fulness 01 “Home. Sweet Home,” as he trudged on. tired and weary, but happy and triumphant. The Christmas Fellowship of ANGELA MARCHESE, ’20-B Miss Mab ITT Liv Miss Mab sat staring into the radiant heart of a wood fire. It lacked only two days of Christmas. She had not yet invited anyone to share the hospitality of her small home. Never since she had been left alone in the world—and that occurred when she was seventeen—had she known a lonely Christ- mas; there were always some forsaken crca- oires ready to turn gratefully the shelter of her home. Ail these festivities had brought a certain heart-warmth and happiness which lin- gered for months, but it had not meant fellow- ship or sympathy. “I believe I want a little bit of Christmas to myself this year.” Miss Mab whispered to her- self; “it’s sieh hard work, all the fixin’s! I do love to see the old women an’ the starved boys 30 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR an’ girls fill themselves up. W'liat they want, though, is the catin’. They don’t know nothing about fellowship. When a woman steps over the forty line an' has been alone all her life, th- re’s a sort of longin’ for fellowship—ain’t there, Maltie?” ! he gray eat arched his back and rubbed his plump body against Miss Mali's dress. It’s a fine dinner.” observed Miss Mali in her solitary musing; it's a fine enough dinner to de- serve fellowship.” She rose and walked to the front window. I might jest as well out with it.” she said. “I know who I want to invite as well as can be; all that's troublin’ me is the propriety of it. Now, if the little thing hedn’t a father. I’d take her in and keep her—longer’n Christmas, too.” She was watching a six-year-old girl who lived in the boarding house across the street, which was thronged and lonesome.” as Miss Mali ex- pressed it. Every afternoon about five the child lingered on the steps and watched eagerly till a man turned the corner—a tall, round-should- ered. thin, sickiy-looking man. As soon as she caught sight of him she darted like a swallow down the street and fairly threw herself into bis arms. He always slung his lunch box on his v. rist and lifted her to his breast. They did not seem to talk. The head, with its brown curis, was laid contentedly on his shoulder and occa- sionally the father bent to rub his cheek against the child's pale face. He climbed the steps with the little girl in his arms and shut the door be- hind him. It's fellowship 1 want.” Miss Mab whispered; then she :it down to her lonely little tea table. At seven o’clock she put Maltie to his bed down cellar; afterward she dressed and started for prayer meeting. Two or three friends stopped to speak to her. They decided she was in an ab- sent mood, for she did not seem to know what they were talking about. Miss Mab had only one thought in her mind and it seemed to rhyme with the hymn: it mingled with the short dis- course and prayer. It seemed as if all the con- gregation lingered to talk with the minister after prayer meeting. At last everybody was gone but herself. The young clergyman came for- ward genially. Miss Mab told her little story and then said: T thought you’d tell me whether ’twould be proper or not?” “There can be no question of propriety. Miss Mab. he replied, earnestly. “In your kindness of heart you could make no mistake.” Miss Mab took his proffered hand warmly. “Thank you so much. she said. Next day she watched for the little girl, who did not appear until about half-past four, and then came out to hop nimbly up and down the flight of stone steps. Miss Mab bad a gracious way with children which readily reached their hearts. The shyness of the child disappeared while Miss Mab delivered a nervous invitation. “I’m sure we’ll come.” said the lit tie girl. She spoke gravely, but there was an eager light in her eyes. Papa and me was talking ’bout hrisinias last night, and wished we were back •n the country, where we used to live. We don’t know anybody here yet. ’cept boarding house folks. I’ve wanted so to know your kitty, but 1 didn’t dare come over.” ‘You dear little soul!” said Miss Mab kindly; “vou shan’t have any more lonesome days if I car. help it.” Miss Mab watched anxiously the meeting at the corner. The child did not nestle her head on her father’s shoulder, as was her custom; she was talking to him eagerly and pointing to the little brick house set in the midst of a wide gar- den. Miss Mab’s heart began to beat tumultu- ously when she saw the tall man come striding across the street through the snow. She threw the door open before he could knock, lie bowed courteously. My little girl has told me of your goodness.” he said. It is kind of you. very, very kind. I do not know how to thank, you. We shall be very happy to come. I do not mind the loneli- ness much for myself, but I hate to think of Cynthia left in that bare little room all day. while 1 am working ” Cynthia hung over her father’s shoulder delightedly, whispering in blissful friendliness to the big gray cat. “’Twas a bold thing to do. invitin’ strangers this way.” said Miss Mab; I didn’t say nothin’ ’bout the mother because ! didn’t just know”— she stopped hesitatingly. “Cvnthia’s mother died when she was three days old.” said the man. slowly: “I’m not quite as good as a mother would be. am I. dearest?” “Almost as good.” whispered the child, strok- ing the careworn face. “But we’re very happy together, aren’t we. Cynthia?” •he child nodded emphatically. “I cannot thank you cordially enough, madam, both for Cynthia and myself We will be delighted to come.” The child wave-1 good-night as they crossed the street and Miss Mab wiped her eyes furtively when she sal down in her big rocking chair. It is more blessed to give than to receive.” she said to herself; “somehow, it seems to bring such warm comfort into your life.” Many days have come and passed away by the time for the setting of the next scene. One night, Cynthia, tucked in a blanket, said to her father: “Don’t you love Miss Mab?” I do.” said he. in a low voice. “She’s just like a fairy godmother, isn’t she? I couldn’t have her for a really, truly godmother, could I?” she asked, anxiously.

Dirt and lilth, tilth and dirt, the same thing over and over again. It w.c a. day before ( hristmas. and even at this time there was no change for the better, (hi the other hand there seemed to be a change for the worse; the chill, bleak winds and the slush and melting snow helped to make the situation worse. On the top story of one of the many buildings lived a verv old woman who was known in the neighborhood as “Granny Crank. No one knew who she was, or where she had come from. Ten years before she had made her appearance with a bundle under one arm and a. small boy under the other. Since then she associated with a few old cronies when fortune dealt kindly with them and kept to herself when fortune failed her. Johnny awoke early, on the morning before Christmas, rubbed his sleepy eyes and got out of bed—a mattress in - n cornei of the garret. “Granny” was stiil asleep. Tiptoeing quietly across the room he picked up a piece of bread lying on the table and left the garret. Down the rickety stairs he crept, feeling his way in the dark, lest he meet some unwelcome obstacle. Then he ran to the station, beating his arms as he ran to keep the blood circulating in his veins. For the last three years Johnny had been seen constantly at the station, selling his papers morn- ing and evening, summer and winter, in rain and in sunshine. He had almost become a landmark to the people who passed daily to and fro. On this particular morning the wind blew with even a greater force than on the previous winter days: and passershv hurried faster, clutched their bundles tighter and fastened their wraps more securely. lohnny stood shivering with cold, blowing with all his might on his blue hands, on which the veins showed with startling promi- nence. A small, round ”tp covered his head: his shoes were torn; his ♦rousers in the same condi- tion; his jacket, much too small, was so patched, and patched again, that it was almost impossible to tell which was the jacket.—which the patches. “I'-p-papers, p-p papers.” he called between his chattering teeth. Customers were few this morning, for all were hustling to reach warm, cozy homes. A well-dressed business man passed, growl- ing: “Give me a P------.” and thrust the boy a penny as though it wcre undeserved. A few minutes later a burly teamster shuffled up. Giv- ing the hoy a ten-cent piece, he said: “Gimme the L-----. sonny. Oh! 1 ain’t gonna take the trouble ter pocket that ther change. Keep it. boy, keep � t. Yer peed it more than what 1 do.” And with that the steady customer merrily walked away. Johmn stayed until he sold the last paper; then, with a net sum of fifty cents, started “home” again. Hurrying down a crooked alley, not unlike the one in which he lived, he heard a piteous cry. Me listened attentively; it came again.—again — it seemed to come from a large box across the way. The box was standing with the opening towards a building. Upon pushing it away he saw something huddled up in a cor- ner. At first he could not tell what it was. but oil getting a closer view found it to he a littic girl of live: and what a f.gure she made! Surely, he was dressed as a prince in comparison to her. lie took the bttle girl by the hand, and pulled her out of the box. The child eyed him with fear and distrust. “Dontcha be afraid. I ain’t gonna hurt ya. W hatcha doin’ here?” he kindly asked. “Th’ ooman w-wliat youster keep me, sh—siie lefted m— me an’ 1 ain’t gui no one ter k-keep me.” “Come with me.” lie took her by the hand and led her into a lunch room, where lie ordered a bowl of milk and three roils for the child, two sandwiches for him. self, and pie for both. Twenty-live cent- gone. That meant a severe healing from Granny. Well, wasn’t he a man?—couldn’t he stand a whipping better than she, starvation ? He braced up again. “What’s yer rame?” it was the first time she had voluntarily addressed him. “Johnny: what’s yours?” “Mine’s Baby.” ! hey sal warming their frozen little selves as long as they dared. Finally they left, walking hand in hand, up one street and down another. Johnny was thinking hard. What could he do with the wa f? Somehow or other he could not part with tin- child, lit had never known what it was to love: if one would ask him if he loved Baby he would stare with amazement; yet here he was thinking and planning for her. They passed a settlement house and Johnny stopped. He had never gone to any charitable institution. iie was too proud for that, but when Baby was to be considered pride flew to the winds. Setting Ins teeth, he rang the bell. A cheery young woman opened the door. “Come in. children, come in.” “No! I ain’t gonna go in. 1 found this baby an’ I can’t keep her. She’s gut nobudy to care fer her an’ I want to leave her here, an’ come an’ see her sometimes.” Continued on page sw. 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Secret of Happiness MURIEL A. WARDROBE, 19-A li. dear! oh. clear! how am I ever go- ing to find time to do my Christmas shopping?” sighed pretty Ethel,the wealthiest girl in the club. Well. I am sure I have not any spare moments,” crossly answered Mildred, the pet of a family of boys. 1 11 tell you what 1 am going to do.” said the plainest and poorest of them all. 1 am not going to buy any. hut spend my money another way. This conversation took place at the club rooms of the Alpha Delta girls at Camdon. The cluo had six members irrespective of their social stand- ing. In the first place their motive was to look out for the unfortunate girls in the South End. or the mill district. They had not lived up to their purpose very well, but as girls always say: ‘‘They intended to.” i)nly one of their members, how- ever. had been down to the South End to see how the matters stood: this was plain, quiet Jane. W il- liam Holt, her father, had at one time been one of the richest men in Camdon. but he had dabbled in stocks, and. as often the case, come out at the little end of the horn. They still had enough to live comfortably, but Jane missed the weekly al- lowance she had so freely spent before. Jane had witnessed the conditions in the South End. and had been horror stricken I � believe such things existed in their midst. It was her turn for a report, so she bravely took her stand. “Girls. 1 am going to put the plain truth be- fore you. as I saw it the other day. I never be- lieved such conditions were possible in this prosperous town. There is one building down there that is not ft fen a stable, and yet human beings arc living there. Do you remember that bill that was brought before your father, last year. Erunces?” (This to the Mayor’s daughter.) Well, it was concerning these tenement house- oil Common Street and that hill was never passed. It’s an outrage. I. for one, want to see those houses repaired. If we arc going to help unfortunate girls we have got to begin with their homes. We can’t make girls right until we give them decent homes. Mow. I have a motion to put before the club. I move that we give up all our trivial Christmas gifts and use the money in giving the factory girls a jolly good time on Christmas eve. ’ As jane finished, she looked almost pretty : her fervent talk had Drought an unusual color to her cheeks and sparkle to her eyes. The girls all looked at one another in amazement. Was this quiet little Jane who had just made this fine talk? Louise, the minister’s, daughter, was the first to break the unusual silence. “I second the motion.” she said. The president took i' up and put it before the club. It was unanimously made a vote and the meeting was adjourned. 'I he first step in the new movement was taken. The next afternoon a big touring car might have been seen rolling down Hamilton Avenue with six happy girls headed towards the S uth End. On Christmas eve the clubhouse was all alight with candles. Girls were everywhere; they kept crowding into the rooms.

SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 How wc smile—that disdainful, wordlv smile —when our mothers tell us how we were wont to look forward to the coming of Santa Claus, that personification of generosity and benefi- cence in the minds of children. How superior we look and feel when they tell us of our in - cessant talking and guessing concerning Santa. Did we think more of how many gifts we were to receive ourselves, than of how many people we could help to make happy at Christ - mastide? Yes, 1 am afraid we did. There may have been some shining exceptions, but they were few and far between. Rut now. friends, now that we have acquired a new and grown-up knowledge of what Christ- mas is, why it came about, and what it is in- tended for, what ought we to do? I repeat,—what ought we to do? Well, schoolmates, you will not learn what to do by further perusal of this editorial, but you may get an idea on the subject. Look for the answer in your own minds. If it isn’t there now, it’s ten chances to one that it never will be. Don’t be a slave to conventionality. If Aunt Josephine gives you a diamond ring, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you must give Aunt Josephine a sealskin muff, or vice versa. Christ- mas is a regular business proposition with some people. Don’t be one of them. Have a little individuality. Live up to the real Christmas spirit, which is: “It is more blessed to give than to receive”; and that at Christmas time we should be happy in the thoughts of that which wc intend to give towards making others happy, rather than t« be entirely occupied with thoughts of a more selfish nature. Many things have been said in opposition to Hilly” Sunday, the great baseball evangelist who isn’t afraid to speak the truth. You may disagree as to the man’s theology, but who can deny that he is doing a great work in reference to the liquor side of the question, especially? There arc some people in this old world of ours, you know, who simply cannot be reached in any other way. It is to such as these that Mr. Sunday does the most good. One cannot listen to his stirring eloquence,, his graphic word-pictures, and above all. the earnestness with which he throws himself into his subject, without experiencing a wave of emotion. One who has heard Mr. Sundav can never forget his eloquence. The immense audi- ence. the inspiring music, and over all Billy’s dominating influence, cannot fail to impress his listener tremendously. r 8� v It is a not uncommon sight in our High School to see our instructors threading their laborious passage through the corridors at in- termission or recess. Did I say threading? Had I said struggling to make their way along, it would have been nearer the truth. What do you think of that state of affairs. Seniors? Some of us seem to be natural born wall- flowers, others resemble the young birdlings fluttering to and fro. borne hither and thither by the slightest breath of wind, while still others think it is incumbent upon them to promenade up and down the corridors in company with some fair damsel. Now, fellow-classmates, I ask you in alt sanity and reason, how anyone on an errand of a business nature can dodge his difficult way 34 SOM HR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR through all the above described social inter- course with any degree of safety. Moreover, it would not be apt to give a busi- ness man looking around the building, the im- pression that we came there to study and get an education. Do you disagree with me? Then put yourself in the place of the business man, and ask yourself if you would take any of those idle, care-free worldlings that you saw into your employ. You know and I know what the answer would be. Therefore, it behooves you all to take a little introspective look at yourself, and act ac- cordingly. • r v . 9 On Tuesday, November 2 . the honor pupils of the Senior Class met in Room 201, for the purpose of organizing an English Club. Miss Merrill presided. A committee to fur- nish an interesting programme for our first meeting as an organized body was nominated from the floor. Likewise a committee for draw- ing up a constitution was formed. After the cards for the first quarter come out, all Juniors having nothing but A’s and B’s on their cards may be eligible for membership, and Sophomore- and Freshmen who attain the honor standard may be eligible for associate membership. This point, however, will be definitely decided upon later. Get busy, every- body. and make yourselves eligible for the. Eng- lish Club of the Somerville High School! Very interesting meetings are being planned for and Miss Merrill has several enjoyable ideas in view for this English Club. 9 V 9 ar Every good innovation in the school gains popularity speedily. Everyone now looks for- ward to the physical training drill at the end of the first intermission. How the windows fly up, and the coats are peeled off in preparation! We take deep breaths of the pure, keen air, and feel like new men. It is a pleasure to watch the leaders and follow their motions. It is the best thing that has been introduced in our school for years in the way of physical training. Hats off to Mr. Hermann!! K r r Who said Somerville High didn’t have a foot- ball team ? We have a record to be proud of. and it is morally certain that Rindge’s scalp would have been added to Keating’s belt, if the field had not been so wet and soggy when Smith tried his field goal. The tackling of Sherman and Young was a feature of the game. Every man did his best for Somerville, and it was not their fault if the Fates had decreed an even break. So let us give three hearty cheers for the “Champions of 1916.” v Don’t be a hypocrite. The common definition of hypocrisy is feigning to be what one is not. or insincerity. There is nothing more to be despised in the character of a young man or young woman than this very thing, insincerity. Stand up for what you think is right, till you arc convinced it is wrong. Even if the whole world is against you, stand up for your idea of the right. You will never lose anything by it, but you will lose your own self-respect if you fluctuate from one side to another. Similarly, you will gain the respect of others by holding to one side of the question, and stick- ing faithfully to that side. A hypocrite never has any real friends. It is impossible that he should have. Would you like a man who would say one thing to you. and then go off to say just the opposite to another man. with apparent sincerity to you both? Of course you wouldn’t: therefore, in the words of Shakespeare:— “ I'o thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.” THE CHRISTMAS FELLOWSHIP OF MISS MAB Continued from page 30 “It would be nice.” said he. “But what have we to offer?” “We could love her,” said Cynthia. “Isn’t that a lot?” “Yes.” .The man’s eyes were fixed on the cheerful red glow in the window of Miss Mab’s living raom. “Yes. dearest, someone has said that love is the greatest thing in the world.” (The reader can guess the ending.)

Our showing at the Institute of Technologv is as follows: Nine pupils took the final examina- tions and were all accepted. At Radcliftc, eight applied; four were accepted. At Harvard, ten took the examinations; nine were accepted. On Wednesday morning there were simple informal exercises at the unveiling: of the bronze memorial tablet to the late Sam Walter Foss, in the Central Library building. J. Frank Wellington, chairman of the memorial committee of the library trustees, removed the cloth screen within which the workmen had erected the tab- let, and Just at the noon hour thirty members of the library staff gathered about it. Librarian Drew B. Hall made $ rief remarks and introduced Miss Xcllie M. Whipple, who read an appreciation of Mr. Foss, presented at the first meeting ot the staff after his death. Then Miss Mary S. Woodman read from his poems. The memorial was made possible through a fund bequeathed to the library l� y the late Martha It. Hunt, who left the city of Somerville for its public library tho sum of «5,000. Of this amount the sum of $3.000 it was stipulated should be ■expended for works of art, the remainder of the amount, $12,000, being for a perma- nent fund. After consultation with the executors of the will, cx-Ma.vor Albion A. Perry and Edwin A'. Stone, it was decided that -money from the Hunt art fund could bo appropriated ror the me- morial provided it conform to the stipula- tions in the will as a work of art.” The committee of trustees having the memorial under consideration consisted of J. Frank Wellington, Dr. liermon C. Bumpus, president of Tufts College, and Dr. Thomas M. Durell. chairman of the board of trustees. The bronze tablet is twenty inches high and five feet long, with a life-sized medal- lion in the centre, and was designed by Richard Rocchia and cast by T. F. McCann and Sons Co., Somerville. It is erected against a border of Botticino marble. On either side of the medallion are in- scriptions, as if on the loose sheets of a manuscript and in manuscript lettering. “Sam Walter Foss, librarian of the Public Library of the City of Somerville from ISOS to 1911— A man who was made of the clay And built of the stuff of today, A man who came up from the throng. Came up from the weak and was strong And sweet as tho breath of the hay.” This verse is from the ode read by Mr. Foss at tho Somerville memorial service held for the late President McKinley October 13, 1901. It appears in the vol- ume, “Songs of tho Average Man.” Tho opposito inscription on the bas- relief is from Mr. Foss's most famous poem. “Tho House by the Side of tho Road. Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by— The men who are good and the men who are bad. As good and as bad as I. 1 would not sit in the scorner's seat Or hurl tho cynic's ban; Let mo live in a house by the side of tho road And be a friend to man.” Tho memorial has been placed beneath the large front window over the main entrance to the building. There is a raised platform back of tho circular staircase ascending to tho general delivery room and tho memorial has been placed in such a position under the window and over the platform that it appears abovo tho balustrade of the stairway. Mr. Foss died In 1911, having served as librarian of the Somerville Public Library since 1S9S. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE MANDOLIN CLUB MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE GLEE CLUB A ran. treat will be afforded the students of the Somerville High School, when they are given the opportunity to hear the Massachusetts Agricultural College Musical Clubs in a concert, which will be followed by dancing. The affair promises to be very successful under the patronage of Mayor Cliff. Senator Eldridge. Mr. Avery, Mr. Tripp, Miss Merrill, and several other teachers in the High School. These patrons have been secured by the Somerville Club of M. A. C.. which is run- ning the entire affair. The club, which has re- cently organized, has for officers: President. Wil- liam Thayer, and Secretary-Treasurer, Myrton F. Evans. The Musical Clubs are larger and better this year than ever before, and in addition have an en- tirely new programme to present. They had a very good season last year, but this year promises bet- ter: the Christmas trip will take in Filenc’s res- taurant. the Chestnut Hill Club of Rrookline, New- bury port Falmouth, and the Hotel Somerset Con- cert and Dance, which corresponds to the Copley- Plaza affair last year. At all of these places the clubs are looking forward to a fine reception, and they do not want to be disappointed in Somerville. The date for the concert is December 28 and the time 8 o’clock The concert will last until 9.30 and after that there will he dancing until 12, with the College orchestra of ten or eleven pieces for music. A good time is guaranteed everyone; for the older people the concert, and for the younger genera- tion. both the concert and the dance. Tickets may be obtained by applying at the office or may be purchased at the door, but the earlier they arc purchased the better, for the supply is limited. 38 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1917-A Editor.

Let us make our column the biggest and best that has ever been published. In order to do this Everybody must pass in notes. One of the wise members of our class gave a speech recently on: “Why Modern Boats Should Be Built of Ivory Soap.” The object of building the boats thus was to prevent them from sinking. Mis idea has not. however, been patented. 'First Senior: “Say there, don’t you know how to hold a compass vet?” Second Ditto: “I’ve run a splinter in mv finger.” First Senior: “Bin scratching your head, I sup pose.” B----n: “This pianist has wonderful power. He can make you feel hot or cold, happy or morose, at w ill.” O----e: “That’s nothing. So can our janitor.” How many of us are going out for debating? All that are going to take a post graduate course ..are eligible. A teacher told little Johnny that the word ■“ferment” means “to work.” Later in the day she asked the class to write a sentence containing the word “ferment” correctly used. Johnny wrote: “I would much rather play out of doors all day than ferment in school.” Please tell us:— (1) Who Youngerman really is? (2) Where Currie spends his evenings? (3) 1'he name of the Freshie who turned to liis companion and said: “Wind the clock, please, or it will run down.” (I Whether it was a cyclone or a Maxim gun that swept the college class during that last Ger- man exam. Something unusual: Turner was actually seen talking to a girl. We wish our classmates and teachers a Happy C hristmas and a Merry New Year. A fancy dancing class is being organized. All those interested please see Miss Jones. Room 215. O’Donahue is getting to be very bright in geometry. (Have you noticed it?) Schroeder makes an excellent physical training leader and deserves congratulations. Definition: “A sepulchre is a grave.” For further instruction go to Miss Webber, she knows all about graves. “What force makes the world move?” asked the teacher in physics. The perplexed students whose parents had had experience, replied: “The landlord.” Teacher: “How would you prepare to receive a vision?” Pupil: “Go to sleep.” Teacher: “Recite the alphabet.” Pupil (waking up) : “Which do you want, the numerals or the ordinals?” How many of us are members of the Literary Club? This is a reward to those who have studied faithfully during their High School career. Teacher: “What is the difference between “Twelfth Night” and “The Merchant of Venice”? Miss K-----n: “I don’t remember just how many pages it was.” The college division was well represented on the football team by Youngerman and O’Donahue. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 39 Johnson’s excuses in Latin have at last run out and he briefly grunts: “I dunno.” As Charles was going out one eve, His father questioned “Whither?” nd Charles not wishing to deceive With blushes answered “With-her.” Room 20 should feel highly complimented since girls from that room were chosen to take the places of Miss Ham and Miss Ritchie during their ab- sence.

While here he had his first day of being in charge of the camp. Wishing to show his authority, he ordered two men. whom he saw coming out of the cook tent with a big tank between them, to stop. Re- moving the cover he tasted the liquid within. “Disgraceful, it tastes like dish water,” he said. “It is,” was the answer. 1917-B Editor. Dorothea Shay. Assistant Editor. Thomas A. Wallace.

And to 1920! Good luck in vour career through S. II. S. Read in a note: “Yesterday I washed and ironed the kitchen floor.” History notes: “All American ships were to be brought over in English vessels.” Teacher: “And the Englishmen went to Can- ada and brought back fish.” Pupil: “Why didn’t they let them swim over?” Have you heard of the class in harmony?

A New View of Student Duty We quote the following in part from an address by Alfred M. Hitchcock of the Hartford, Connecticut, Pub- lic High School:- “It would be a line thing for New England if. throughout its length and breadth, schools were leagued together in a concerted effort to prac- tice tlie customs of polite society. Practice of a sterner kind is needed also. One of the oldest of English virtues is industry: and a companion virtue is thoroughness—good workmanship. The schools should make a far stiller light against lazy, dawdling, superficial effort. We have overlarded the hard brain-making studies with a layer of dainty relishes. Reformers with- out number are constantly urging us to give the boys and girls a lovely time. Is not the hour at band when we should return to sterner busi- ness-set very definite tasks and then insist that our boys and girls actually grapple with them and master them? Isn't it high time that we in- sisted on better workmanship, declining courte- ously. yet firmly, to accept the product of half- hearted. superficial effort? Finally, is not tlie time at hand to train the young to be law-abid- ing citizens? Young America is lawless, often showing scant respect for rules and regulations, scant respect for those in authority. For nearly a generation now. the young have had their in- nings: practically free from restraint or fear of punishment, they have been self-governing. I believe the time has come to stiffen discipline and give the young stern practice in obeying orders promptly without question or compro- mise. with the understanding that when one in authority' tells them to do a thing it must he done promptly and well. The instructor is in the highest sense the friend and helper of every pupil: but he is, in a very true sense also, his su- perior ofheer. in absolute command. If the pupil in the little schoolroom kingdom can accustom himself to act as a lawful subject should, there need he little fear concerning the part he will play when he becomes a citizen of our great republic.” •14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Exchanges!

A team which has only met with one defeat in its regular schedule. team on which there were only four veterans, two linemen and two back field men. A team which was under the direction of a new coach. A team where team-work, rather than that of individual players, was prominent. A team which has put the Athletic Association up n a sound basis. A team which will long be re- membered in. the minds of the students and citi- zens of Somerville. Captain Keating deserves great credit for the success of this team as lie has put his whole soul and body into each game. Tom Thornton also has a lug piece of the “credit pie” coming to him. Louis Smith, who has scored fifty-six points for Somerville this year, need have only his name mentioned in any gathering and he will be given a grand round of applause. Coyne, Downey. Shea. Cronin. Sullivan. Mahoney and Pierce, the other back field men. have added much to the strength and success of the team. Much praise should be given to the linemen of the victorious squad. These men. who labor six days a week and who arc kicked about, stepped • � n. arc not noticed as much as a back or end and are therefore almost forgotten. But without the diligent work of Lord and Roche on the left side of line. Tom would have been unable to gain the large number of yards that he did. While Ernie and Dina, of the right side, plugged along in every game. Xed would go through tackle for a big gain and very few in the stands realized that these two fellows had opened a big hole in that place. Between Lord and Dina there has been a lad who wears a seven and a half hat and has shoulders nearly a yard in diameter. 11 is name is Treat. T he large head is not “swelled” but holds the knack of making a perfect pass every time the ball is snapped. It also contains the art of breaking up many well-laid plans of the op- ponents. In case this genius was waylaid the most unpopular ?) fellow in the school was al- ways there to take his place—“Cupid” Conlin. On the ends, the honors have been carried ofif by Sherman. Young and Hirshson. each working with great zeal and effort to outdo his rival, but all in vain, for where one would fail the other would succeed and as a result there were three well-trained ends. In ‘-losing, the editor, in behalf of the school, thanks Coach Dickerman for his untiring labor in turning out this victorious team. He also gives praise and thanks to the members of the second team. who. although not seen in many games, have furnished the material by which Mr. Dickerman has built his team. It is a well known fact the members of a second team are the most abused people in any line of sports. But cheer up. your turn will be next year! ■ - ■■ ■ — '� • — --------- HOCKEY The ice will soon be here and Somerville will once again open the hockey season. The chances this year are very bright and with the support of all Captain Wilson expects to follow the ex- ample set by the football team. I hcre will be quite a number of veterans out this year, including Downing, Perry, Gilman. Kiley, Blish and O’Donahue; so with early ice and a snappy schedule the public ought to hear big things from Somerville High’s hockey team. SEEN FROM THE SIDELINES T he tackling of Sherman at the fsindgv -giwms showed what practice will do for a “green man.” T he R bulge game is getting to Tie an Old Home Day” for graduates of S. IT. S. There were many “old grads” in the stand Thanksgiving and the talk of the “good old days” could be heard in almost any part of the field. A little problem; also a knock:— If Xed had not eaten any candy and had been at practice every day before the Rindgc game, how far would Creelman have run before afore- said Xed caught him? It seems very evident that Waltham will still be a red flag to one of our instructors. Captain Binnev and his squad of riflemen arc shootmg things up over to the Bay State School of Musketry and expect to participate in a meet in the near future. hat has happened to the Girls’ Tennis and SOMER VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 47 Field Hockey teams?

Ashman led the cheering in the Malden game, in the absence of Moore, and with his friends from K and M produced plenty of noise and good cheering. And we’ll be out of the trenches at C hristmas! The Somerville players who were picked on the All-Scholastic team were Thornton, Keating. Ford and Gilman; while Young. Smith and Treat drew places on the second squad. SOMERVILLE, 12; MALDEN, 0 On Saturday. November II. Somerville strengthened its hold on the lead of the Subur- ban League by whipping Malden 12 to The game was played before a crowd of .2,500, among which were the members of Companies K and M. of the Eighth Regiment. The soldiers, in addition to furnishing amusement with their goat, “Villa,” performed service as patrolmen and cheer leaders. Because of an eleventh hour protest from Malden. Thornton was not allowed to play, so the decisive victory caused great joy to the Som- erville team. The first score came in the opening period after a 2S-vard forward pass from Smith to Young and several line plunges by Keating and Smith, where the ball was brought to the 10-yard line. Smith scored on the next play around Malden’s right end. He failed to kick the goal. In the final quarter by straight line plunges by Keating. Coyne and Smith, the ball was brought to the 11-yard line, where Smith again carried it over for a touchdown. He missed the goal. Cronin played a fine game at fullback as did Ned and C oyne at the halves. Louis was also there when needed in the rushing but could not manage to kick either a field goal or a goal from touchdown although he tried each. The Murphy brothers and Queen were Malden’s brightest light. The lineup:— SOM ERVILLE. MALI) EX. Sherman. Hirshson. 1. e. .r. e.. Queen, Lowenstcin Roche, Kelley 1. t........r. t.. Leather. Queen J.

The field was in very poor condition, owing to the storm of the previous evening, and many plays which otherwise would have been long gains, were halted because of the slippery condition of the ground. Gourville. Everett’s quarterback, played a wonderful game for his team. He made their only scores by kicking two field goals in the third period. It was after his second goal that the Somerville outfit began to wake up and realize that they were behind. As a result of this awakening in the following period Somerville rushed the ball to the 20-yard line. Thornton then went over for a touchdown, having the honor of scoring the first touchdown against Everett for five years. Everett was still playing a defensive game and Somerville immediately brought the ball back to the 15-yard line. Louis Smith then went over for a second touchdown. Xed kicked the goal. Xcar the end of the period Thornton threw a forward to Smith behind the goal line, but it was ruled that Somerville went outside and so the score was not counted. The lineup:— SOMERVILLE. EVERETT.

Somerville’s exhibition of power came in the 48 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR first period when, starting with the ball on its 8' -yard line, the backs ripped through the Rindge team until Thornton went over after ten minutes of play and Smith kicked the goal. Rindge received the ball on downs toward the last of the period and after a beautiful forward pass from Mctivicr to Robinson the ball was placed on Somerville's 15- ard line. After a series of rushes the ball was brought to the I- yard line, wit ere Robinson shot over for a touch- down and then Metivier booted the goal just as the period closed. Smith kicked off to Creelman on his 5-yard line; he ran to his left and after evading three Somerville tacklers started for a touchdown. Alter running hO yards he was overtaken by Keating, who pulled him down on Somerville’s 5-yard line. Another touchdown for Rindge seemed prob- able. but a penalty and a splendid tackle of Metivier far behind the line f scrimmage saved Somervilie. The last two periods were very slow, each team going back and forth in the middle of the field. Each team tried a field goal, but were un- successful in their attempts. The game was played hi a rainstorm and everybody went h m« dissatisfied at the results and also very wet. The lineup:— SOMERVILLE. RINDGE. Sherman. Hirshson. I. e.. r. c . Corr. Kelly.

Chicago Team’s Fumble in the Last Period Paves the Way for the Red and Blue Victory. Honors came to the East in the De Raul-Som- erville game at Fenway Park on December ! ,. and these honors were well deserved. For three long periods these two teams swayed back and forth in the middle of the field, and then after bringing the ball the length of the field on line plunges and losing, with the goal and victory ahead, in the third period, Somerville had been given up as lost, for as one spectator said at that time “They lacked the vim. vigor and snap in the pinch. But with all this trouble, in the final period by the close watching of the ball by Gii- man. they were able to recover a fumble and then push the ball over for a touchdown. 1 he De Raul team did not come up to the expectations of the R� .ouo fans that were gath- ered t see the game, file cause was partly that they did not have possession of the ball for any length of time and when they did their open play was completely smothered by the Somerville backs. The three foward passes which they did succeed at were ones that made the whole crowd stand on its feet and wonder whether Hamilton, the quarterback, had kicked or thrown the ball in or 50 yards. De Raul made a number of long gains through the Somerville line, but they were not effective enough to score. The reason for these gains was that the Somerville linemen were waiting foi a dazzling game filled with open play, but the dazzling part never came. Everybody on the Somerville team played wonderful football and it would not be right to mention the name of one player and praise him unless every other man on the team was praised. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 49 For Dc Paul. Xcilson. Hamilton and Grundman were the men who did the bulk of the work. Somerville received the kick-off on its 20-yard line and Sherman ran it back 10 yards before he was downed. A 10-yard run by Thornton and one of 1 5 yards by Louis, plus a few shorter Sains, brought the ball to the 20-yard line after two minutes of play. A forward and drop kick failed and it was De Paul’s ball on her 10-yard line. De Paul, after a series of rushes, made first down. Grundman made 20 yards on a lateral pass, but the pass was illegal and !)e Paul was penalized 15 yards. They punted to Somerville on Dc Paul’s -la-yard line. Somerville rushed the ball to the 15-yard line, where they were again held for downs. De Paul again faltered at Somerville’s line and was again penalized 15 yards. They punted to Smith, who fumbled. Coyne recovered the ball in midfield. Somer- ville's period. Somerville punted to De Paul on her 20-yard line after six rushes and a penalization of 5 yards. De Paul brought the ball to the 10-yard line, where two long forwards netted them 50 yards. In the third try the forward was inter- cepted by Somerville behind her own goal. On the first play Somerville was penalized ( yards, and beim? unable to gain punted to midfield. De Paul rushed and then tried a forward which failed. They punted to Louis Smith on his 15- vard line. He ran it back 20 yards and fumbled it when tackled. Another forward was imme- diately tried by the Westerners, but Treat caught the ball and was pulled down after a 20-yard run. Somerville made a first down, but was penal- ized and De Paul was given the ball. On a long forward and an end run they were in a position to kick a field goal, which tiiev tried, but which failed. Somerville then carried the ball three times and the period ended. De Paul’s period. Louis kicked off to Hamilton, who ran the ball back 20 yards before he was downed. After a few short rushes and a penalty, Dc Paul kicked. It was a very short punt and it was fumbled. De Paul recovered, but on the next play fumbled and it was Somerville’s ball again on her 20-yard line. Prom this point they rushed the ball to De Paul’s 10-yard line, where they were held for downs. The period ended with the ball in De Paul’s possession on her 20-yard line. De Paul was penalized 40 yards in this period and Somer- ville 25. making a total of (� 5 yards. Somerville’s period. On a long forward which realized for De Paul twenty-five more yards, the ball was placed on the 15-yard line. Keating intercepted the next forward and was downed on Dc Paul’s 35-yard line. Somerville then rushed the ball to the 20- yard line. A forward pass was intercepted. On the next play.

Can’t some arrangements be made to admit 'people who are under twenty-one and claim to be High School students in just one section ? Now that we are once again on the football map let tis stay there. A very touching incident happened at the close of the game. While the Somerville rooters were parading through the field. Hines. De Paul’s right end. lay senseless on the ground, lie had been injured in the last play. One of his comrades came along, picked him up. threw him over his shoulder and walked over to the dugout. — -------------------. ..... .

TAYLOR, M7-A JCE more the hands of the clock of Time had very nearly finished its long1 journey of three hundred and sixty-five days. Happiness pre- vailed everywhere; a new year was soon to dawn, and people waited in feverish anxiety for the joys and sorrows that this new year would bring. But in the home of Helen Rogers in the crowded tenement district of New York this spirit seldom entered. Helen was blind. But to the children of the crowded district she was known as “Angel Helen.” And she justly de- served that name. To be blind is one of the worst afflictions one can have, but even with this affliction to be always looking on the bright side of life is one of the greatest blessings one can have. And this was the way Helen Rogers had earned the name of “Angel Helen.” For one short year she had seen the beauties of God’s world, and then came that period of darkness, which had never passed away. It had all happened many years ago when she had been a baby. The tenement house in which she had lived with her mother was one of the many houses that was destroyed when a large fire swept that district. Everyone was supposed to have been saved, and people saw it would be impossible to save the houses, and were busy keeping it from spreading when a cry arose from the great crowd. At a window on the very top floor of that burning house stood a woman with a baby in her arms. All were paralyzed— no one seemed able to move. At last a man was seen to dash into the burning building while the crowd waited in breathless suspense. Finally he appeared at a window. A ladder was raised and with the child in his arms he descended. No sooner had he reached the ground when a cry arose:— “Keep away, she’s falling.” when the building collapsed, carrying with it the mother of the child. And thus ibis baby was left alone in the world without mother, home, or money. But one poor woman was yilling to care for the orphaned child, and so little Helen was taken to the home where we first see her and where years before it had been discovered that the little child’s eyes had been blinded by the terrific heat of that great fire. In the family of the woman who cared for the baby Helen was a boy of fourteen or fifteen. As the days and years had passed, little Helen had grown to be the pride and joy of this family, but to Jack, the boy. she was the dearest thing on earth. So eighteen long years had been passed bv Helen in darkness until one day about a month before New Year’s Jack came hurrying into the room she occupied, crying: “Helen, Helen, where are you? I’ve just learned that up on the avenue there has been opened a dispensary, where if the person afflicted can sufficiently in- terest certain parties they will be given treat- ment free.” “But why do you tell me this. Jack, dear? ’ Helen replied. “You know that poor little me could never interest anyone.” “Well.” answered Jack slowly, “I’m not so sure of that. Are you not known as ‘Angel Helen’? And it’s not every girl who can earn that title.” “Yes. Jack, to the children of this district I am known as that,” she said; “but to be able to in- teres: the people I need to, it would be impos- sible. I guess, jack, that no one cares whether I’m blind or not. But I’m used to it now so please don’t raise my hopes like that again.” “Helen. Angel Helen,” Jack whispered softjv. “please don’t say that again. You know I care and would do anything to make you happy. But let me tell you. I’m going to try to interest somebody in you, and 1 won’t fail. Do you hear?” “Yes. you dear. I have ears even if I can’t see.” she replied mischievously. “Now please leave me alone, for I’m awfully tired.” So Jack left her feeling just a little more de- pressed than when he had been with her. For Helen was everything to him and he would have gladly cared for her. but she would never allow him to speak of love to her. telling him that it was useless, for no matter how much she cared she would never become a “millstone around his neck.” But “where there’s a will there’s a way,” although it was rather a hard way. Jack had already failed to interest anyone in Helen and at last, as a last resort, he decided to write to one of the men he knew was connected with this dispensary. After days of endless waiting and just as he was about to announce failure to Helen, a letter came that would change the outlook on life for both Helen and Jack. The letter was brief bu to the point. “Dear Sir: If you will call at No. Fifth SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 Avenue, Thursday evening, December 20. 1!‘- at 8 p. m.. with the lady in question I will talk the situation over with you. ‘‘Respectfully, “John J. W illiamson.” So the next evening Jack asked: “1 lelen, would you care to take a little ride up town with me: Not surprised at this request, for very fre- quently Jack had asked her to go for a short walk or ride, she consented. “Well. Jack.” she questioned when they were comfortably settled in the car, “why this long ride on such a cold evening?” “Nothing, dear.” lie replied, “just to let you be among the people who have no worries or cares for a short period.” “How kind of you. Jack. You know I appr date all the 'little kindnesses you do for me. But why are we going so far? Are we never going to stop? Isn’t it almost 8 o’clock?” “Yes. dear, it is almost 8 o’clock and all your questions come at once. And here’s the answer to question two. W e’re going to stop now.” They alighted from the car and Jack linahv rang the bell of the house at No. — Fifth Avenue. They were at once admitted and con- ducted to the library, for the maid had been in- formed of their coming. “Ah, good evening, young people.” said Mr. Williamson, “I’ve been waiting for you. Can’t we proceed to business directly? This, I pre- sume is Miss Helen Rogers, the young lady in question ?” ‘Wes.” replied Jack, “and 1 do hope you will consider her appeal very thoughtfully.” He then told of Helen’s saddened life, how without mother •or any relations and no money she had always been bright and cheery and how she had earned her name of “Angel Helen.” As lack talked his soul seemed to shine on his face and Mr. Williamson listened intently. When Jack had finished, their host arose and walking back and forth about the room he finally paused and said :— “Young man, I admire your perseverance. I am sufficiently interested to undertake this case and ! also have been looking for a young man to enter my office. With your perseverance and determination you will not stay on the first rung of the ladder of success.” Meanwhile Helen had listened and was dum- founded. Jack. Jack.” she said, “please tell me the meaning of all this conversation.” Very gently he told her of how he had written to Mr. Williamson and how after almost certain failure he was to be treated at the dispensary op “the avenue.” New Year’s morning dawned cold and c’.e r. Two weeks previous Helen had entered the hos- pital and now after days of anxiety the bandages were to be removed. Helen, iif a little room, waited in feverish excitement. Would she b able to see? God help her in her hour of joy or disappointment. 1 he doctor entered. First one bandage came off, then another, and finally t last. For a few minutes darkness remained, bu. slowly, surely, she was beginning to sec. I can see,” she cried. The operation had been suc- cessful. Jack, waiting in the outer room, was ca and allowed a few minutes’ conversation v her. The day came when she was to return to her foster mother’s home. Jack came for her and assisting her into the carriage he had hired to take her home, they soon reached the little tene- ment home. In the door stood old Mrs. Harding looking worn and tired, but with a look of happi- ness on her face. Around her stood the children of the district and as Helen gazed for the first time on the faces of her little friends and on the tired, peaceful face of her foster mother, tears filled the eyes which had been darkened for so many years. “Mother, dear mother. she murmured, and with the strong arms of Jack around her she entered the home she had never seen before. That evening Helen and Jack watched the passing of the old year. “Helen. whispered Jack, “will you now an- swer my question?” “Yes. Jack.” she replied. I will. I love you,” and as he gathered her in Iris arms, she said:— New Year’s day shall always be regarded by me as the happiest day in mv life.” ♦- “BOB” BERNICE TEELE, ’17-A IS name was Bob, that was all. He was tired, hungry and cold. I le was tired because he had been walking all day, and then, too, the stone bench he had slept on last night hadn’t been very soft. He was hungry be- cause he hadn’t had anything to eat for he didn’t remember when it was. it was so long ago. And lastly he was cold because the snow and wind were just freezing and his coat wasn't very warm. He had pinned it up around his neck, hut it was pretty ragged and his elbows were out. Boh sighed and 58 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR looked at his shoes. ()� e almost minus its sole, the other was split, and the hole in his stocking was so big that the snow fell on his bare foot, lie gave a great, big shivering sigh and decided that perhaps he might be a little warmer if he kept walking. Perhaps someone would give him a nickel, hut the “somcones” hurried by. for the wind was so cold and the snow was falling so fast, that the only- thought of the “somcones” was to hurry to tile shelter of their homes. But Bob hadn't any home to go to. and since he had decided that walking would keep him warmer than standing still, he kept on walking. He saw a lady coming, perhaps she would give him something, but the only thing she left behind him was the rustle of her skirts. 'I'he rustle made him think of that day. so long ago. when he had had five extra cents and had ridden on the street car. The most beautiful lady- had sat beside him and because she was so beauti- ful and looked so kind he had thought perhaps she wouldn't mind if he just touched her silk dress, for he had never had a chance to touch one before. So he had reached out and touched it. but the lady ‘evidently hadn't liked it. for she had drawn the ■dress aside. Rich ladies didn't want poor little •boys touching their nice dresses, probably. Musing this way he stumbled on. Suddenly he stopped. He thought he had heard some music and he held his breath and listened. Yes, there was the most wonderful music somewhere. He raised his eyes and looked about him. He had ■wandered into the residential part of the city. In front of him rose a great stone house with all the beauties that told of wealth, but Bob's eyes quickly passed all of this and looked only at the room that was lighted. He gave a little sob and raised bis rough hand to brush away the tears that had •come to his eyes. For Bob had seen that which lie had always longed for. a mother’s love. Sitting before the lire, in a deep, luxurious chair was a young woman with a boy of six or seven years in her arms. Somewhere music was being played he knew, but he saw only the mother and her son. He gave another sob and then he turned to go. Slowly he walked away, lighting back the tears, lie wondered. In an instant lie was back. Yes. she had on the same kind of soft clinging stuff that the lady in the street car had worn. lie wondered how it would feel to have someone love him as she was loving the boy. The only kind of mothers he had known hadn’t had time to love their children. Something caught his eye. A spark had Mown from the fireplace onto the rug and the flames were slowly ciawling up to the lady. The lady back was to the flames and there was no one in Jthc room to warn her. Without another thought lie had leaped up the steps and using all his strength had succeeded in pushing open the heavy door. Bast the wondering maid lie flew, ile heard someone call for help and he turned in that direction. At the door he paused. In the middle of the room stood the woman trying to heat the Hamrs out of the boy’s clothes, heedless of her own danger. Bob was at her side in- stantly and his two little dirty, rough hands nlungcd bravely into the burning dress and fought bravely to extinguish the flames. i? Somewhere there was the sweetest music be- ing played. Bob wasn't sure it was music, maybe it was birds. He laid perfectly still so lie could hear it all. He didn't wonder the birds sang so sweetly, it was so nice and warm. And then there was the pleasantest odor. He didn’t know but what maybe it might be roses, lie wasn't sure, you know, for Bob had never had any roses. I le had never had any. but he had seen them in the windows and he had heard people say roses were just a bit of heaven on earth. Of course he knew what Heaven was. They had told him about Jesus and Heaven at the Mission. Bob wondered if he were in Heaven: he must he. it was so lovely . Maybe if it was Heaven he would have a Mother; he hoped so. for he had never had one. But he was so tired he guessed he’d go to sleep and think about that when he woke up again. So he nestled down and slept again. All day long they watched over him. the doc- tor, the nurse and his lady.” The doctor took his pulse and gravely shook his head. The nurse looked on silently. But the “lady” bent over him and stroked his head softly, and oh. so gently. Her eyes filled with tears: Is there no hope, doctor?” Gravely the answer came: “None, Mrs. Ben- ton. He was starved and almost frozen. His wounds are serious. It is only a matter of hours or days------.” he stopped, for a big lump was in his throat. i'he little figure stirred. The watchers caught their breath. The eyes opened slowly and then lit up with a smile. “Please, am I in Heaven, and are you Mother?” Gathering Boh in her arms and struggling to control herself, Mrs. Benton answered brokenly: “No. dear, this isn't Heaven, but I am Mother.” and in answer to the pleading in his eyes she kissed hint. With a smile on his face Bob said with diffi- culty : “At—last------I’ve—got-----------a real---- Mother. his voice trailed off and he fell into a quiet,, deep sleep. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 A Case That Was Won” ELIZABETH J. CARNES, ’17-A HE mountains of Virginia,•—a hotbed «it feudalism, the haunts of a peo- ple groveling in the mire of ignor- ance. who would rather buy bullets to shoot their compatriots, than books to feed the minds of their off- spring, are. nevertheless, reeking with romance and adventure. The mountaineers embrace no religion, are very illiterate and reject with scorn and sus- picion the attempts of “furriners” toward educa- tion. have never even heard of a newspaper and are totally unaware of the fact that they are liv- ing in a republic of culture, with a capital not many miles away. They exist on the fat of the laud, the finest venison and bear meat, game and mountain trout, and raise vegetables, tobacco and fruit in their gardens. 'l‘o one of these hamlets. Roanoke, in the early spring, some time ago there came three strang- ers. Night was rapidly drawing nigh, and they approached the W ebster cabin in search of lodg- ing. Hospitality, especially to travelers, is very marked in this district as well as all through the South, and the strangers were welcomed. The men had with them a box containing pur- loined jewels, the loot of a wealthy residence, and were feeling ill at ease, fearing that they were being shadowed by detectives. This did not escape the notice � f old Jack Webster, and when he was throwing the bearskins on the floor preparatory t their retiring, said: “Strangers, if ve make a crooked move. I’ll shoot ye,’’ and then to his son. “Dave, you lie agin’ the door thar, and watch them with this gun.” Next morning when the men were about to de- part. feeling indebted to Mrs. Webster for her kindness, they decided to display their gratitude. After a somewhat brief consultation they agreed to hand the box of jewels over to their hostess un- der the following conditions: She must not part with the contents of the box under any circum- stances. unless all three men presented them- selves at the same time and asked for them, and if they did not call for them within three years after that time she could claim them as her own. By transferring the plunder, the men could con- tinue on their journey and be relieved of all sus- picion and discomfiture. At first Mrs. Webster was reluctant about ac- centing the proposition of her guests, but finally after a great deal of enticing and persuasion she consented to sign the contract which had been drawn up. The men took their horses and started off. About live minutes later,—they could not have gone far.—one of them came galloping back and announced that they had changed their minds and decided to take the jewels with them. His wish was fulfilled and he rode away. Shortly after the other two came back in search of the one who had come to claim the jewels, saying that he had lingered behind his companions and had just been missed from the group. When Mrs. Webster told them of his coming back and being given the box, they became greatly angered, wished a curse on her and her household for not living up to the contract,’and declared that they would get revenge by suing her for breach of contract. Then they went their way. Now. Miss I’.d'th Webster was keeping com- pany with a young man named Herbert Latimer,, a law student at the I’nivcrsitv f Virginia, who expected to receive his degree the following June To preserve the family name well is dearer than all else to most Southerner, and to have, such trouble and disgrace brought on the family inflicted a deep wound in her pride’. She bro � dect continually and became inconsolable. Traveling in the mountains is very slow, mostly by horseback, and for this reason Mr, Latimer’s visits were rather infrequent. On one occasion when he was paying a call the possibili- ties of the case were discussed with him. and, while the young man was not free to practice law, he vowed to do everything in his power to assist Mrs. Webster in extricating herself. The case was called during the latter part of May. to be tried at Richmond. It aroused con- siderable interest among the people and the court room was crowded. It was asked that the case be continued for two weeks and the re- quest was granted. When the trial came up, the Judge called upon ihe attorney tor the defence and asked him what he had to say. Mr. Latimer arose. “Your Honor. I have here papers, given me yesterday, having just passed the bar examina- tions permitting me to practice law anywhere in this state. I have come here this morning to represent Mrs. Webster, and as counsel for the defence wish to say that if the two prosecutors will bring the third member of their party here, Mrs. Webster will live up to the contract and hand the jewels over to them.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR (yj How Ethelwyn Found the Road to Happiness GLADYS E. BOOKER, 19 A Hi'. Fernwells had visited for nianv summers at Bay view and had often J heard of the little cripple girl who lived about a mile and a half from 1 the farm where they stayed. Lthelwyn was their eldest daugh- ter. of about twenty-four summers. She was “head over heels’ in society, as they say. and was tired out and discouraged with life in gen- eral. It was a sultry afternoon in the latter part of August, and because of lack of other employ- ment. Lthelwyn took her own little runabout and started tor a drive. She had no place in par- ticular to go and turned to the southwest, drove slowly down the road for a mile, and turned to the right. She had scarcely driven a half mile, when a wonderful sight met her eyes. A young girl with a very sweet, peaceful face, sat in a wheel chair under an apple tree, knitting; a large shepherd dog lounged at her feet ; several kittens frolicked playfully at a distance; chick- ens were earnestly digging in the earth close-by for a chance worm, and little spring lambs were grazing leisurely in a pasture a few paces away. Lthelwyn stopped the car near by and sat and watched the scene for nearly five minutes, hardly moving a muscle, s« interested was she in this pretty country group. The girl seemed to be much more contented with her lot than Ethelwvn. who had everything in the world to make her happy. “Oh.” she thought. “I wonder if this is the little cripnle girl. Gertrude Guttler, whom I have heard so much about? I had an idea she was only about ten years old. but this girl looks older than that by far. Maybe it is she, though; let me think—a road to the right about a mile down from the Gregorys’ farm, and then a half a mile in. she mused, “surely this must be she.” She glanced at her speedometer and found she had gone nearly a mile and a half. “I wonder if this young girl would think me rude were I to go up and talk with her? Wait! there are several chickens! I guess I’ll go up and see if i can get some fresh eggs, and then maybe I can talk with her for a few moments.” She climbed out of the car and walked swiftly toward the little cripple. “I see you have some chickens around you. so I thought you un- doubtedly had hens, and that I might get some fresh eggs.” she said, in a sweet voice. Gertrude, for it was she. looked up and saw before her a very attractive young lady. She had an air of luxury from the top of her pretty brown head to the tip of her patent leather pumps ; her light blue muslin dress fitted her per- fectly; her green ilk sweater made her the more picturesque; her clear brown eyes, the same color as the wavy hair, looked down into Ger- trude’s. and her cheeks had nature’s roses painted on them and left by health’s own paint brush. “Yes. you can get fresh eggs here, but won’t you sit down and rest, for you must be warm and tired, out walking such a hot day. and there is a nice breeze under this dear old apple tree?” “Yes, I will sit down a few minutes, as I would like to talk with you, for you must be Gertrude Guttler, whom I have heard so much about, are you not?” Yes, I am Gertrude Guttler, but I am sure 1 don’t see why you have heard very much about me. for I am only a little crippled girl, and very seldom does anyone come up this way.” “You see.” Lthelwyn replied. “I stop at the Gregorys’ during the summer, and Mrs. Gregory has often told us about you and the wonderful fancy work that von do. and by the sale of which you support yourself and your poor aunt.” “Well, now I think 1 must know who you are. Are you not Lthelwyn Fernwell? There is no sense in asking that question, because I know that you are. I never thought that I should see you, because a wealthy girl is too busy to think of a poor one. and a cripple at that, but you don’t know how glad I am to see you. I have often pictured you in my mind and longed and prayed that I might sometime sec you. Perhaps you would rather that I call Joe to get the eggs for you. because you are very likely in a hurry?” Indeed, no. 1 have nothing to do with my- self. and time hangs heavy on my hands this summer. Nothing entertains me for long, but I know I should just love to spend an hour with you. Do you not get lonesome and discouraged sitting here all day? It must be terrible to stay in the house all winter with nothing going on. Do you never leave this place?” No. Miss Fernwell, it is never lonesome here and it is wonderful in winter. You see, in sum- mer I have all the birds and flowers, squirrels and chickens around me. and dear ‘Chum,’ ’’ pointing to the dog, and patting his head. “ ‘Chum’ is nearly as good as a person, he is just fine. When 1 want anything from the house I have only to write it on a slip of paper, stick it in his collar and send him; he will bring back any- thing I want in this basket, which I put between his teeth. I like to listen to the chatter of the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 birds and squirrels and watch the untiring ef- forts � :' the little chickens, in their search for food. In winter 1 like to watch the snow pile up and all the world turn white; 1 like to hnd the different pictures on the windows that Jack Frost has made; I like to see the many different patterns made by the twigs of the trees; 1 like to watch the icicles disappear, and the snow scurry away when the sun comes out after a storm; at night, both in summer and winter, 1 like t watch the stars, and also, in winter, watch the snow sparkle from the light of the moon. Don’t you think there are an almost endless number of wonderful things in nature, Miss Fern well ?’’ Why—why—I—er—had never thought of finding pictures in the frost, or of patterns made by the twigs of the trees, and I think y u surely must be a little wizard to pick out such things. I’ve always hated the frost on the windows, but i’ll sec if I can’t find some pictures, as you av And. on a summer night.” Gertrude went on. glad of a listener. I love to hear the crickets, frogs and katydids singing their songs so cheerily. Did you ever hear this: ‘Chirp, chirp, chirp.’ Y m can think, ‘cheer up. cheer up, cheer up.' and then the frog kind of sa s, ‘1 wo won’t. I won’t’; then you hear. ‘Katy did, Katy did, Katy did.’ and you keep listening to them talking it out among themselves, until, well. hrs. thing you know it’s morning?” “No. I have never thought anything about it. but I shall be able to next time that I hear them.” They talked on in such a strain for nearly an hour, and both felt happier for having received the other’s ideas. Finally, Kthelwyn rose to go. and said: I wonder if. if 1 were to go back a.Hi get some nice soft pillows and a foot rest, you would not like to go for a little ride with me? You see 1 have my little car out there, and 1 think it would do you lots of good. I’ll be v careful of you. what do you say?” Why. I couldn’t, I have never left this place since I came here, twelve years ago.” Gertrude looked earnestly at the little garnet car standing by the roadside, and Kthelwyn saw the look of longing that came into her eyes. ‘ I will go to the house and get the eggs, and •then drive over to the Gregorys’ and be back in twenty-five minutes. Here! Take mv watch and time me.” She was gone before Gertrude could say a word. In exactly twenty-five minutes she was back, and in the car with her sat a strong, healthy- looking young fellow of about twenty. “All ready. Gertrude,” she called, “I’ve brought my brother so he can lift you into the car and not hurt you. He’s very strong, you know. My brother. Earle Fern well, Gertrude Guttler. Now, Earle, just lift her into these cushions, and be very careful. There, are you comfortable? Now. Farle, you can make friends with Chum while we are gone, and be a good boy.” Before Gertrude was hardly aware of what was happening they were going swiftly down the road, and she was seeing, for the first time, the country so near her house, and yet so far to the poor cripple girl, who could not move iter legs. She thought it must be heaven that she was in. and Kthelwyn was fully as happy as she, although she could not have told why. This was not the last visit, or ride, and Gertrude be- came healthier and happier than ever before, and so also did Kthelwyn. One day Kthelwyn came early in the morn- ing and rapped on the door, but received no response. She rapped again, and as the same thing happened, she lifted the latch sottlv, and went in. She saw Gertrude sitting up in bed, looking over at her aunt, on the bed across the room. There was not a speck of color on either face, and Gertrude looked up with a sigh f re- lief when Kthelwyn entered, and said: Oh, I’m so glad someone has come at last! Auntie will not answer me, and does not move at all. Will you please see what is the matter?” Kthelwyn looked at the marble-like features, and felt of the pulse and heart and found both still. She put Gertrude in her wheel chair, and then told her that she thought her aunt must be sick and needed the doctor. When she reached Dr. Blake's and told him of the condition of things at the Guttlers’, he said: “Just what I had feared, for some time, would happen soon.” “Oh. please come up and see, for of course I am not sure. ’ Oh. 1 am, she’s had a very bad heart for many years, only i was afraid of a long sickness, but it’- better this way.” He went up to the house, and, after glancing at the aunt, told Gertrude what had happened. She burst out into passionate weeping, saying that it should have been her. whose onlv u� e was to make others wait on her. “Gertrude.” Kthelwyn said, “you must not feel that way. Dr. Blake says that if you were in the city, a very simple operation performed by a specialist would give you the use of your legs. Your aunt had nearly consented that you should come home with me. and have this done. Now. of course you will come, and shall live with us. and in a year you will be well and able to do everything, the same as I. I will teach you to play golf and tennis, and all outdoor sports, and shall be very happy with you for a companion and sister.” So it was that ten days later Gertrude was on her way to New York. The specialist set the day. two weeks ahead, for the operation to be performed. He said that there was hardly a doubt but what it would be successful, only she would have to lie abed three months, and have 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR no excitement. In three months she took Iter first steps and from then on gained new strength every day On Gertrude’s eighteenth birthday Ethelwyn came in. much excited. “Look. Gertrude, what Dr. Blake has just sent. They were looking over the things in your aunt’s house, and found this—a letter for you. to open on your eigh- teenth birthday. Wasn’t it lucky that ih.y found it in time?” Gertrude opened the letter, and cried out: “Oh. ;t was written by my mother.” She read the following and then passed it to Ethelw n :— “My dear little daughter: 'file doctor has told me that I cannot live any longer, and so I am writing this for you to open on your eighteenth birthday, or before if necessary. “I hope you are the sweet, lovable girl that I should want you to be, and have never been of any trouble to your aunt. You are a wee little mite, only three weeks old, when I am writing this, and ! am leaving you with my aunt to be brought ii] . “If anything should happen that your aunt could not keep you or if she should die before you are able to take care of yourself, I want you to do this for my sake. I had a very dear friend in my girlhood named Elsie Stanford. We were ever together until she was married. She married a millionaire in New York. Gradu- ally we drifted away from each other, as much of her time had to be given over to society, because of her husband’s position. However, I am sure that she will never forget me. I want you to go t � New York and find Wilfred hern- well. that is Elsie’s husband’s name. Tell him that you must see his wife, and insist upon it. When you see Elsie, tell her you are Edith Sex - more’s daughter, and I know she will see that you have a home with her until you have a home «� f your own. Show her this letter if you think best, as she will know my handwriting. “Your loving mother, “Edith Cuttler.” After Ethelwyn had read it she looked at Gertrude, and Gertrude at her. “Oh, Ethelwyn.” Gertrude cried at last, “now I don’t feel so mean accepting all this from your parents, but isn't it queer it should happen that you should have taken this poor little orphan in before the letter was opened?” “Yes. Gertrude, very queer and very wonderful. I am ever so glad it is this xvav because now. if only for your mother’s sake, you will be per- fectly at home here.” Earle and Gertrude had become very warm friends, and five years later Gertrude and Ethel- wyn were own sisters, and Mrs. Fern well, who for live years had been as a real mother to Ger- trude, was now her mother-in-law. The Storm MILDRED CODDING, ’20-A T was a stifling day in August. Not a breath of air was stirring, and it seemed as if the sun was trying its very best to dry up what little green grass there was left among the brown. The flowers, even the large- trees themselves, seemed gasping for water. The little stream that had flowed behind the barn was now nothing but a dry bed. The crops wilted under the strong rays of the sun. even the dogs seemed to feel the depression in the air. as they lay. with their tongues out. on the piazza and under the great oak tree. All at once the sun went under a cloud in the seemingly cloudless sky, and before long many black clouds had gathered in the south, and were marching toward us. The sky was now of a leaden hue. Everything which a short time be- fore had been reflecting the bright rays of the merciless sun was now refreshed as a cool breeze began to arise. The thirsty leaves began to stir as if thankful for the messenger of relief. The grass seemed to grow green and the rows of corn lifted their heads with renewed vigor. The dogs now had more life, getting up from their lazy positions and beginning to wander about. By this time the sky was quite black and the wind, which at first had been only a gentle breeze, was now hardly less than a hurricane, rushing through the great oak tree, whistling around the corners of the house, and at last seeming to disappear behind the barn, only to appear again, rushing in great fury through the orchard, bending the trees to the ground, and on through the corn field, making havoc with the crops. Suddenly there was a hush. The wind had died down. Trees that had been bending to the wind stopped, almost seemed to look surprised, and then sprang back into position. Clouds of dust, that were being raised from the road, hesitated, and finally dropped into the road again-as if ex- hausted. What was the meaning of this sudden hush ? Everyone and everything seemed waiting for something. Soon it came—it was the rain. It did not come in a cloud-burst, as is often the case, but quietly, as if afraid to own that it was there. The drops were the kind that you can’t see until SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR f 3 they get nearly to the ground, and then they seem to appear from nowhere on the steps and walks. There was much shutting of windows on the south side of the house, and much running to bring porch chairs and hammocks to a place of safety, when suddenly the wind changed. There was more shutting of windows, and a hasty retreat was made from the west piazza, where all had gathered in the lee of the house, to a drier place of refuge. The rain rapidly increased in violence, and with it the wind found itself again, and joining forces with the rain produced quite a storm. The sheets of rain beat against the side of the house, and upon the roof: rushing from the latter, it filled the rain barrels at the foot of the drain pipes, and soon was gushing on in torrents toward the stream. Soon the little stream, lately so dry. was leaping and glistening with renewed life. Water quickly gathered in puddles on the road and in the yard, making a perfect myriad of little lakes on the parched ground. The corn was laid flat by the sheets of rain, and all nature looked drenched and crushed. At last the storm had spent its furv. The clouds began to lift and soon a strip of pale blue sky could be seen on the horizon. It looked as if this had frightened the fierce black clouds, for they quickly began to roll off toward the north, while the sun burst forth in all its glory. PUBLIC OCCURRENCES On January 1 the annual Ladies’ Night of Theta Sigma Della Fraternity was held at the Fraternity Chambers and a gathering of thirty- live couples were present. The Chambers were elaborately decorated with evergreen, holly, flags and many colored lights, which made a very fine setting for the party. An entertainment took place in the early part of the evening, a sketch by Mr. Hoyt. Mr. Davi- son and Mr. Earle being the predominating fea- ture: this was followed by a buffet lunch. Danc- ing was then enjoyed until 12 o’clock, when the entire group sang the fraternity song, “Forever,” and departed to their various homes. Theta Sigma Delta is to have its annual dance at Heinemann Hall, April 10, and the com- mittee is preparing a very novel programme. ---o — The Delta Zeta Chapter of Gamma Fta Kappa held a very successful formal dance December 20. 1 :• I Many of the high school graduates were home for Christmas, making the dance a happy reunion. The patrons were Mr. and Mrs. John A. Avery and Mr. and Mrs. Augustus IT Tripp. Directory of Class, 1917-A Girls Arts. Katharine E Bacigalupo, Katherine. . . Baker.

Class of 1917-A, like countless other classes, you are to fare forth upon the broad, ever-changing ocean of life. Soon you will encounter the cold and cruel world. You are leaving the sheltering arm of your cherished Alma Mater, the Somerville High School. But it is to be hoped that this encounter will not chill you. but rather lire you with eager- ness to get in the big light and come out winners. Let us hope that no one will attempt to emulate Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Rancho, in the manner in which he starts out on the road to fame, bar be it from me to discourse lightly on that noble knight-errant of sacred memory, but after having passed through four years of study at Somerville High, is there any excuse for any youthful Xapoleon-in-the-making conducting him- self as did that ancient knight? () you who are about to graduate, accept these words of wisdom from one who wishes you well, and treasure them in the innermost recesses of your hearts. ’Tis an old and well-used sentence, but many heed it not even in these days of en- lightenment and understanding:— “HONESTY IS THE ONLY POLICY.” Fortune is a fickle dame. C) respected ones who are about to depart, and she visits not everybody. To a favored few the path may lie all pre- pared. all. paved .for you to ride on to wordly suc- cess lounging at ease in your luxurious limousines. The great majority of you, however, must win your laborious way slowly up the ladder of suc- cess. round by round, with your hands coming in contact with common wooden bars. To such as win their goal under those conditions due reward is given, for have they not been tried and not found wanting? No doubt several prominent men of the nation are preparing to resign, having heard that the class of 11)17-A of the Somerville High school is about to graduate, but fear not. class of 11)17-13, there will be room left for us. Class of 1917-A, in the name of all the under- graduates of the Somerville High School, the Radiator stall' of 11)16-17 wishes you success in everything you undertake. Wake up! students, and take notice of what is going on around you. The Boys’ Glee Club is undergoing a reconstruction period this year, and is producing excellent results. This club was one of the features presented in the entertainment given by the English Club in the Girls’ Gym- nasium December 20, 11)16. The quartette performed especially well. Bu pupils (there are always some hut’s, you know), more boys should come out for the club. Somer- ville has always produced excellent singers, as well as musicians, and you surely don’t want to injure her reputation. A Glee Club should be one of the most promi- nent and popular organizations in any school. It advertises and shows the life and spirit of the school as nothing else, except possibly athletics. There is something peculiarly fascinating about a well organized Glee Club. It is inspiring to h -:v; a crowd of high school or college boys sing ail to- gether. Moral: Support the Glee Club. � r In a meeting of the English Club. January 5, 111 17. the officers of the club were elected. The re- sult of the election was as follows: President, Ed- ward Derby; vice-president, Lawrence Codding; secretary, Bessie Berman; treasurer, Bella Ruff- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 A committee was appointed to provide an inter- esting entertainment for the next meeting, Wednes- day. January 17. The English Club is flourishing, as all good organizations should, and after the next reports come out all Juniors and Seniors who are then eligible are invited to join at once. � a? ■ m The days come and go. the weeks come and go. the months come and go. the Radiator comes and goes, and still the condition of the corridors of the Somerville High School remains unaltered by the hand of time. O ye gods on high ()lympus, would that some avenging angel might be sent to earth to sweep our over-crowded corridors clean of all the laughing maidens and self-conscious young men who at present infest them. 9t r r •� To be a leader in one’s class implies the posses- sion of leadership qualities. To be a leader in the highest class implies the highest qualities. It is obvious that we cannot all be leaders in school, business, social life or commerce. But we can all strive to be leaders in some line of work. We are making ourselves now, by our daily acts. Little things that seem scarcely noticeable arc having their part in the formation of our character. Therefore we must control and govern ourselves rightly. To my mind the best and only way to accomplish this purpose is to think rightly. Stand porter at the door of thought,” and you will have no trouble to do right. In fact, you can’t know wrong, for no wrong thoughts will enter your mind, that is, if you don’t choose to have them. Mind controls all things. Therefore, see to it that you govern your mind, and keep it stocked with the right thoughts. Wanted ! ! Girls ! To join the Somerville Girls’ Athletic Associa tion.

Sophomores—Sassy. Juniors—Brassy. Seniors—Classy. Lillian Lacey and Lambert Weston well de- serve the honor which was bestowed upon them when they were elected graduation speakers, and the record they have made in the high school speaks for their ability. Classmates, we are nearing the day when we shall leave our Alma Mater. This day which was looked forward to as one of joy seems now one of regret to most of us. Then let us resolve to stand by our Alma Mater and honor it for- ever. A bright pupil: “They thought that when he gained conscientiousness he might tell them who had killed him.” Miss Hilton—Our living dictionary. Miss Cunningham alias Miss Sullivan. Only suspicious people have more than one name, Cutie. Customer: “Have you anything in the shape of bananas?” Clerk: “Yes. cucumbers.” Teacher: “What is a tonsorial artist?” Bright pupil: “A barber in the Copley Plaza.” Johnson’s one ambition is to write a trot for V irgil’s Aeneid, but we wouldn’t advise anybody to use it. Did anybody know Hamilton was a tenor solo- ist before? Teacher: “Is there such a thing as a mermaid in reality?” II—k—ns: “No; but I’ve seen a hsh-woman. Teacher: “C----f. your writing looks like a Chinese prescription for the chills.” Teacher: “What is the feminine of China- man ?” J—h—n: “Laundress.” Mary had a little lamb, She fed it kerosene. One day it got too near the tire. Since then it’s not benzine. Johnson and O’Lalor were late to a class so they had to pick up papers in the corridor. O’Lalor was doing most of the work. A teacher passing by said: “Johnson, why do you let the little fellow do most of the work?” “Why not?” he replied. “He’s closer to it.” C-----f: “You know 1 once took a prize in a beauty show.” C—r—e: “You must be a kleptomaniac.” Miss Fitz-----ce’s motto: “An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.” Abbott has the distinction of being the oniy boy in the class without “longus pantus.” in other words the child of the class. Our gift committee intended to present the school with several escalators; but when they looked in the treasurer’s box, well-----they de- cided that the school didn’t need them. WANTED: A good, reliable person to sweep up crumbs from the floor of 206 after lunch hour. The necessary tools will be provided by the man- agement.

Miss A-----: “Tell me. is an F. O. B. Detroit a reliable car?” Teacher: “What is poetry of motion?” Pupil (after much thought): “The kind that’s always going from one editor to another.” We noticed that the first day after the Christ- mas vacation not only the boys but some of our teachers were adorned with Christmas ties. We wish success to our classmates who are now to start upon their road of life. Much hilarity was heard in the corridors lues- dav after the vacation. Cause: The boys all had on their Christmas neckties. hirst pupil: “Do we have geometry tomor- row?” Second pupil: “No, this is the odd week.” Chorus of voices: “Oh. joy!” Miss Barris: “Funny we all like geometry so well!” The graduating class of P H-A wishes Mr. Avery and members of the Faculty a Happy New Year. When questioned by our correspondent, Ham- ilton denied that his new watch chain was a Christmas present, but stated that his dog had died. As he had no more dogs and he himself lived at home he had no more use for the dog chain. Hamilton then bethought himself of the Ingersoll his great-grandfather had left, so he at- tached Nero’s chain to his ancestor’s watch and after sticking the hour recorder in his upper vest pocket threw the chain across his manly bosom. Seen on the board in 206:— “Take your seat on the first bell.” Let’s rebel, classmates. I’m sure we all prefer to sit on chairs.

This was printed in a recent local newspaper:— “Gentlemen: Is it absolutely necessary in the discharge of his duty day and night, that the engineer of vour yard engine should make it ding and dong and fizz and spit and clang and bang and buzz and hiss and bellow and wail and pant and rant and yowl and hoot and grate and grind and pufY and click and clank and chug and moan and hoot and toot and crash and grunt and gasp and groan and whistle and wheeze and squawk and blow and jar and perk and rasp and jingle and twang and clack and rumble and jangle and ring and clatter and yelp and croak and howl and hum and snarl and puff and growl and thump and boom and clash and jolt and jostle and shake and screech and snort and snarl and slam and scrape and throb and crink and jangle and quiver and roar and rattle and yell and smoke and smell and shriek ?” What we want to know is, can you find an- other verb to add to it?

(Mit apologies zu “The Roman was a rogue.”) Pier—c (translating German): “And as one •draws nearer he sees that these still men are neither suicides nor death morgues.” Jack Sprat had an old tin can, His wife some gasoline. And so between them both, my man. They made a Eord machine. Dad-----tin (in history): “There is sort of a legion connected with this story.” It must have been a war-like story, Freddie. Gems from our class philosopher, Thayer:— A’s may come, and .Vs may go. But D’s go on forever. Heard in French class:— Teacher: “Translate ‘Merci, merci, tres bien.’ ” Pupil: “Mercy, mercy, very much.” Rob-----rts (in history ): “Caesar perceived this movement and placed his heavy artillery in the rear.” How about the aviation corps. Wilfred? There was no heat in Room the other day and even Mr. Cole (coal) man could not keep it warm. The class of P.Hn-A extends its best wishes to the graduating class for a pleasant and suc- cessful future. Co-operation with lots of “pep” is what we need to make our column the leading one. Don’t knock, boost. Remember that if everyone would pass in'one note our column would be the biggest and best in the Radiator. We are often favored here in Somerville with worse storms than raining cats and dogs— namelv. hailing cabs and street cars. Speaking of cannibals:— “We don’t know the name of the bold man who ate a bo(u)lder; but we do know that JIask----11s once bolted a door, threw up a win- dow and swallowed a whole story.” Our editor recently attended a character party as a girl. That night he forgot to wash off the rouge. I'he next morning while he was asleep his mother looked in.—rushed to the ’phone,— called up a neighbor:— May I borrow your thermometer? 1 am afraid M------is ill. His face is so flushed. What! Xo. indeed. It couldn’t be paint. Why, even his cars are pink!” We rejoice at the return of Miss Babcock, who has been ill for some time with appendicitis. Have you admired:— Crowley’s long jeans? Miss Baxter’s bangs? Conlon’s new necktie? Shea’s gold watch? Young’s spectacles ? Appel received a slight flesh wound yesterday from running his linger over the crease in his pants. 1918-B Editor. Chester Moore. Assistant Editor Be sure to pass in all notes for next number before February 5. “Pa. what is an equinox?” “Why, it’s—it’s----. Don’t they teach you any- thing at school? I thought you studied mythol- ogy. An equinox, my son. is a fabled animal, half horse, half ox. Its name is derived from 'equine.’ meaning horse, and from ‘ox.’ Schools are different now from what they used to be.” Heard in Chemistry :— “What does ocean water contain?” Miss Gr-----sh: “Salt, carbon dioxide-----” Teacher: “Is that all?” Miss Gr-----h: “Oh, yes, it contains fish.” Frederick Noyes. feacher: “Describe the armor of the knight.” Miss Sc 11I — n : “It was made of broadcloth.” Father: “What did you learn at school to- day ?” Child: “Oh. all about myths and goddesses and things.” Father: nd what about them?” Child: “Oh. 1 forget them all except Ceres.” Father: “What about her?” Child: “Oh. she was the goddess of dressmak- ing.” Father: Well, how in the world-------’’ Child: “Well, the teacher said she was the goddess of ripping and sewing.” 7 o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Heard in History:— Welch: “In the Homeric Age the poets wrote poetic prose.” Hutchins: “I can’t sing since I’ve worked for a baker.” ’Why?” I can’t get any higher than dough (do).” Do you think it is possible for a thing that has no life to move? I have seen a watch spring, a match box, a plank walk, and a banana stand. Well. I have seen a cat fish and a horse-fly. The boys of the 1918-B class express their most hearty thanks to Mr. Rodcheaver for his talk to the boys. How many resolutions have you made and broken? The editors appreciate the support of the West Building. Joy in the camp of the editors. W e have re- ceived one note from the East Building. Con- gratulations. East Building. Kootball is gone. Hockey now occupies the stage. Let us give it our most hearty support. Westland: “If this solution doesn’t work I’ll--” Teacher (overhearing him): “What----?'

Sher- man, who has been classed by a great authority among the world’s famous orators and thought by some of his classmates to be superior to many of them, has made the debating team. Morrison, also of 1918-B, made the team too. He is the find of the year. He is considered by some of his adherents to be the equal of Sher- man. but of course that is a little far-fetched. Nevertheless it is almost true. With these two on the team we can reasonably expect that the shield will remain permanently with us. Good luck to the team. Mile. F—It—n has a new green handkerchief.

Do you know what they are?” G—gg—n: “Good and bad.” Sar---ian: “Boston, located in the heart of the Bcrkshires, where the scenery is hard to sur- pass, is eight miles from any railway.” SI t—ch : “'Pile schoolhouse which stood at the foot of a long hill made of wood with green blinds.” etc. Ed-- —y: “How much are these collars?” Haberdasher: “Two for twenty-live cents.” Kd----y: “How much for one?” Haberdasher: “Fifteen cents.” Ed----y: “I’ll take the other.” C—r -la: “No, I didn’t get anything wrong; I only got a few mistakes.” The young ladies of 307 would appreciate it greatly if a fund could be started for the purpose of buying a new mirror, since the one in scat 43 has quite worn out from hard usage. Radiator editor (white with rage): “Paper twenty minutes late! What do you mean by this ?” Assistant editor: “We had to run in the 3919-A class notes.” Editor: “Oh, well! Why didn’t you say so? I thought you had held it up for news.” The following are a few dramas which might be produced by our class:— Very Good Eddie,” featuring X. Kd----y. “'l ess of the Storm Country,” featuring Miss I).

Assistant Editor, Madeline Kelley. Lillian Trask, the secretary of our class, has 1 ecn chosen a member of the girls’ debating learn. Not many Sophomores have achieved this honor. Heard in the lunch room:— Soph: “It seems a shame that an animal had to be killed to make this food.” Soph, the second: “Yes, it is tough.” Several teachers agree that if every boy were as brilliant as his neckties after Christmas, no seventh period would be needed for them. Teacher (after vacation): “Is this an odd week ?” Br----g: “Yes, we had Monday off.” Senior: “Don’t talk like a fool.” Weeping Freshman: “You want the monop- oly of everything, don’t you?” Heard in II-A F:— Miss Par----: “What was raised in Switzer- land in Caesar’s time?” West----: “Cheese.” Some pupils consider it an honor to be in Mr. Avery’s office, but it depends a little on the cause some other people think.

DICKER MAN' The success of the football team the past season was due to the return of the old lighting- spirit of past years. Regardless of ability, knowledge or plays, the team without this sort of spirit is a beaten team. Starting with but four veterans this year's team slowly developed until at the end of the season it was a difficult task to tell who were the veterans. The playing was that of team ot eleven, for the four had become cogs of this machine. However, it was the fighting spirit ot these four that set the example for the rest. There were seven new faces on the team and imbued with a spirit such as was shown at the DePaul game. It is to be hoped that they will be able to impart this spirit to the new men that will play next year. It is also to be hoped that this same sort of lighting spirit may be shown not only in the field but in the classroom. The way to show this spirit is to be prepared for every lesson and attain a good standing in the class, so that if you arc ever needed to uphold the honor of your school you will be able to do so without fear of being barred because ot deficiency in scholarship. The worst blow that can come to a team is to know that one of its players is unable to play due to scholastic stand- ing. To the members of the team that will be with us again next season, we earnestly urge that they maintain a good scholarship and set a good ex- ample to the other teams and the rest f the school. To the members who are leaving, we extend our heartiest wishes and trust they will continue to keep up the standard of Somerville wherever they are in future years. Editors’ Note: This is the first of a scries of writings by Mr. Dickerman. They will appear in this column every other month until June. SOMERVILLE—BROOKLINE Brookline High, playing its first game as a member of the Interscholastic Hockey League, won from Somerville, '2 to 1, at the Boston Arena, Saturday. January (I. Somerville pre- sented a team composed of nearly all veterans and was exjx’.cted to be the winner, but- Each team scored in the first period. Captain Johnson-of Brookline caging the puck after a brilliant rush down the ice and “Andy” Orioli tying the score by a shot from scrimmage. Late in the second half, just after Captain Wilson had been ruled off the ice for two minutes. Johnson made another spurt down the ice and scored the second goal after evading the outer defence. Both teams showed lack of team work and a tendency t “hog” the puck. The summary:— SOMERVILLE BROOKLINE O’Donoghue. Shea. 1. w.......r. w., Delaney Downing, c.....................c , Marshall Blish.

CROSS-COUNTRY BY D., ’17 The cross-country team .finished its fourth sea- son with a 50 to 50 percentage, having won two out of four meets. The team was handicapped by injuries and because of lack of support of the school. However, the Athletic Association saw lit to give letters to Captain Harrison Douglass. Manager Walter Love,. Joseph McCarthy. Ar- thur Hurd, John Haggerty. Arthur Nugent and Merton Cook. Other members of the squad who were faithful workers were Rowell. Brooks and Kolb. 7 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR- On Tuesday, October IT, Somerville defeated Stoneham over the Somerville course, by a score of 25 to 30. Harrison Douglass broke the rec- ord held by George French for the course by one minute, doing it in fifteen minutes, thirty seconds. McCarthy came in third, C ook tilth, Hurd seventh and Nugent ninth. A week later Somerville was beaten by W ake- field. MM. � and MM (I New England champions, by the score of 10 to 15. There was a hard battle between Captain Brown of W akefield and Doug- lass for first place, but the former came through a winner. On November 1 they defeated their rivals. Medford, over the Somerville course, by 23 to 32. Douglass took the pace, led the whole distance, winning in fifteen minutes, fifty seconds, and was far ahead of Mills and Hollis of Medford at the finish. McCarthy was fourth, Hurd fifth, Cook sixth. Haggerty seventh, and Nugent tenth. W ith only one day’s rest the “Red and Blue” was beaten by W oburn, with a score of 2? to 2S. Douglass won the race, as usual, but the rest of the team was not up to scratch. “CHASING THE PUCK” Let’s hope the art of hogging” the puck will be a lost art to the Somerville forwards in the future games! Did you lose much sleep by going into the Arena Saturday morning and watching the game ? Perhaps Brookline is in the habit of getting up early mornings and therefore “had a little some- thing” on our boys. Banquets seem to be a regular thing with the fellows on the football squad, also there was a line show at the Somerville Theatre and some “wonderful” movies of the Del'aul game. Ambrose Ford was recently elected manager of the baseball team, while Clayton Ellis and Dr. William I loyt were made Alumni members of the Athletic Association. ■ ■ - •� ■ ♦ ♦ •••---- ARLINGTON—SOMERVILLE The Somerville High School girls’ field hockey team played its first game Friday.

Captain Binnev and the members of the RiHe Club wish to thank the Athletic Association for their hearty support, which has made it possible for Somerville High to be represented in the Suburban League with a rifle team. ----------- ------------- SOMERVILLE—ALUMNI On Christmas day Somerville played its first game against the Alumni of the school and showed up very well.

It was a few days before Christmas and the snow had been falling for two days. Joe welcomed the white blanket that covered the city because it meant so much pleasure to his younger brothers and sisters, lie had made the rounds of the offices that night to see that all the doors were locked. Descending to the ground floor he sat on the stool in his car and thought of the many joys and sorrows that Christmas might bring, and also of the small amount of money he had to spend, lie counted on seeing the look of joy that would come over the faces of his brothers and sisters as they stared at their small but much appreciated presents. While he was so busily engaged, he did not notice that two men dressed in long, black over- coats and drawn caps crept stealthily in behind him. II Suddenly turning around. Joe saw the men coming towards him. He saw they were dressed to avoid recognition and he knew at once that something was wrong. Joe’s heart beat rapidly, for lie was alone in the building and he knew that their motive must be robbery. They approached boldly. “Take us to office number 712. seventh floor,” they ordered, “and be quick about it. or you will wish you had.” “That office is locked.” said Joe. “Never mind, take us there,” they ordered- “No!” said Joe boldly. One of the men put his hand in his back pocket, drawing forth a shining object. “Do you see that?” he asked. “Yes.” said Joe, nervously. Joe stood still for a few seconds thinking over what he should do. Then he stepped to his elevator and bade them enter. On the way up the men eyed Joe closely. 'One of the men took off his hat to shake the snow off. Joe turned just in time to see the man’s face, lie recognized him as one of the men who had been to the same office in the morning. When they reached the seventh floor. Joe led them to the office they wantejl. They tried the loor. but it was locked. One of them took a bunch of keys from his pocket, but none would open the door. “Have you any keys?” the other asked. “Why?” asked Joe. Again he asked if he had any keys, at the same time stepping up as though to hit him. “Yes.” was the answer. “Produce them.” said the other. “No,” replied Joe bravely. With this the men rushed forward, and grabbed him. A struggle followed, but the men soon proved too much for Joe. One held him while the other searched his pockets and took his keys. They tried them, but they were not the right ones. While they were busy with the keys Joe’s brain was also busy. I le saw the transom was open. He spoke and the men stopped their work. Joe said: If you would lift me up I could go through the transom and open the door for • i you. flic men looked at each other dumb-stricken. One quickly recovered himself and said: “That’s the kid! We’ll fix it up with you later.” They lifted Joe up to the transom, but if they had known his intentions they would have done something else. From the transom Joe jumped heavily to the floor. “Oh! Oh!” he cried. “Oh, my leg.” “Hurry up and open that door!” said one of the men. “I can’t.” replied Joe. Ill Joe’s mind acted quickly. lie noiselessly crept to the telephone. Main. I am the eleva- tor boy of the Fidelity Building. Two suspi- cious looking men are here and have put me through the transom of Room 12 to open the door. Please send up five or six cops,” was softly but hurriedly uttered. Joe could hear the men impatiently talking to one another. At first he could hear only the muffled sound of voices: he could not interpret what they were saying. Then the words grew more distinct. Evidently they had been plan- ning something. Then he heard them say : It must be getting late. That kid must be making a key for the door.” I hen came a knock at the door and the men said: “Hurry up. there, boy.” Joe turned the knob and clicked it to make the men believe that he was trying to open it. Then he said: “I can’t SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 get it open, sir.'' He was trying to prolong opening it until the police came. Just then he heard an auto stop outside. He stepped to the door and opened it. The minute that Joe unlocked the door in bounded the two men in an angry mood, saying: “Great guns, boy, it seems to me it took you long enough to open that door!” While they were talking they were looking around also, when one of the men exclaimed: “Oh. here it is behind this screen.” “At last.” commended the other one, “now it will be a matter of only two minutes and all will be well for Harry.” While this was going on Joe thought to him- self: “It is funny, but they haven’t even noticed me. I could very easily slip out and get help.” But half a-loud he said: 1 don’t believe they are real burglars at all. but we will see soon.” “What’s that kid mumbling about. Frank? Didn’t you hear it?” “Never mind mumbling now. Find what we are after. We’ll attend to the kid later.” Which made Joe too nervous to run away. So he waited there trembling. The men soon had the safe open, for they knew the combination and were rummaging around in it. when suddenly there was a sharp, “Hands up!” from the door. The men at the safe jumped up like Jacks-in- thc-box, dropping everything they had in their hands. The tallest man of the two knocked his hat off and said: “Don’t you know me. Sergeant?” “Well. I declare, if it isn’t Jerry Paston! What are you doing here, old chap, disguised like an ordinary, every-day burglar? Explain yourself or I shall have to give you a nice joy- ride down to the station house to see the cap- tain.” “Well, the fact is.” said Jerry, “my friend Harry Stevens, who is the head bookkeeper in this office, left his keys here, and also another very important article. TWO WEDDING RINGS. He is t be married this evening and as he did not have the rings it was impossible to perform the ceremony and the only thing that could be done was to have his two best friends come down to the office to get them, which we volunteered to do, and got in a nice pickle, too.” “Oh. that is all right. Jerry.” said the sergeant after he had been slipped a tcn-dollar bill in honor of the event. When the two men got what they were after and were about to leave, one of them turned to Joe and said: “Here boy. here is something to remember this night with.” Saying this, he placed in Joe’s hands a five-dollar gold piece. “Oh. thank you. sir.” said Joe. so overjoyed that he didn’t know how to act. “That gun wasn’t loaded,” explained the man, “but I couldn’t resist the temptation to play the part of a real burglar.” “Oh. that’s all right.” murmured Joe. think- ing only of the gold piece. The next day while Joe and his brothers and sisters were enjoying a lonely, but very happy Christmas dinner bought with the gold piece, they made Joe tell over and over his experience of the night before. The Race Which I Won From Dario Resta WOODWORTH N. MURRAY S I looked over “The Automobile News.” a paper printed concerning automobile races, my attention was arrested by the announcement of a race. It was to take place at the Sheepshead Bay race track, with a prize of •$• � .00o. Among the contestants already entered were Barney Oldfield, Paul De Palmer and Dario Resta. Though I must compete with the greatest drivers in the world, I immediately registered my name and car as a contestant. The day of the race was a little windy, but cloudy and cool. My Fugo was in perfect con- dition after long and diligent labor on the part of my mechanicians. It was a low torpedo- shaped car with large, solid wheels. As I drew up in line I noticed Barney Oldfield in his wonderful Mercedes and De Palmer in his twelve-cylinder Sunbeam on my right and Dario Resta on my left in his famous Pengot. In front and behind me were contestants, a few of whom I recognized as having been in former races. T he shot was fired and we were off. Resta, in his Pengot. instantly took the lead with Oldfield and myself close behind. The race was on and the cars began to spread out. The loud explo- 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR sions of the powerful motors were deafening, all I could think f was driving on after the two leaders. My Kugo was running perfectly and I fed more and more gas. slowly creeping up on Oldfield. Easter and faster I drove on until I was abreast of him. We were approaching a curve and one of us must fall behind. Something went wrong with the Mercedes, as it suddenly stopped, balked and left the course, coasting into the pits. On and on I sped, and lap after lap I covered, holding about the same distance behind Resta. We were constantly passing cars which could not keep up the terrible pace. Suddenly I heard one of my front tires blow and I was thrown sideways, missing by mere inches a car on my right. At the pits my tire was changed in the record-breaking time of twenty-eight seconds and I was on the course again with a lap and a half to make up on Resta, who still held the lead. My mechanician had put a better adjustment on my carburetor while in the pits and I raced on with new power and speed. The wind, caused from the tremendous speed, cut my face like a knife and chilled me through, but 1 raced on and on. 1 was constantly creeping up on Resta until I was only half a lap behind him. One more car to pass—De Palmer’s famous twelve-cylinder Sunbeam. I came up abreast of him, but he in- creased his speed slightly until we were making perhaps ninety-live miles an hour. The strain was terrible and I was hardly able to breathe, but 1 kept on. Finally, after advancing my spark a trifle I passed him with only Dario Resta ahead of me. Lap after lap we covered and we slowly approached a little Rugati for the third time. Its driver suddenly lost control of his machine. Shooting straight up the side of the sloping track, it smashed through the iron railing and dropped over. I was now only a few feet be- hind Resta and 1 seemed to be unable t pass him. Above the noise of my own explosions I detected the roar of De Palmer’s Sunbeam slowly gaining on me. Slowly, but surely, he crept up and came up even with me. Now was my one chance and I fed my last atom of gas. The l'Ugo seemed to leap ahead as if alive, leaving De- Palmer behind and coming up even with Resta. Ilis little brown Pengot, pointed at both ends, looked more like a cigar than a car. Neverthe- less it had been worked on day and night by his mechanicians and ran like a clock. The other contestants had dropped out. leaving only De- Palmer. Resta and myself. Yc approached a curve, but I held my gas as before and we all swung around, making about 100 miles an hour. Suddenly from behind there was an explosion coming from the Sunbeam and DePalmer drove it to the pits, a rear tire flat. He was soon on the course again with two laps to make up. I till held my position beside Resta and we passed the judges’ stand with one more lap to make. Neither Resta nor myself could develop enough speed to draw ahead. We turned the last curve and swung onto the home stretch in the same positions. The wind, which had not blown noticeably hard, rose at this moment as if for my benefit and swept down the course at our backs. It was just enough. The little Pengot. pointed at the back, offered no resistance to the fortunate gust that swept me half a length ahead. Resta and his mechanician were working frantically to develop more speed, but failed, and I passed the wire, winning the race from the world's famous driver. Dario Resta. The Prize Picture EDITH H. (iOSS, ’19-A IT A Madison was the eldest of five children. She was passionately fond of art, and her ambition was to become an artist. Her parents were very poor, however, and every cent was needed for the support of the large family. Therefore Rita stopped her cars to the longings and cravings of her artist’s soul and helped her mother with the housework and took care of her young brothers and little sister. She was fairly worshiped by the little folks, to whom she was chum and confidante. They would sit at her feet for hours at a time when possible, to listen to the wonderful tales she would tell. Sometimes she would draw pictures for them and then they would be i:i the seventh heaven of delight, for although Rita was a fas- cinating story-teller her great talent was draw- ing. In her spare moments, which were few and far between, she managed to do a little sketching with a bit of charcoal. The once bare walls of her little room had become a living art gallery. She had drawn many pictures of all sorts of things, but sometimes she was discouraged and SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR wondered if her talent would ever get the chance to display itself fully. She had only a small piece of charcoal with which to draw and she longed for a paint-box.—why, her very lingers were just waiting for the chance to curl about a delicate paint brush. One day. while hanging out the clothes, a gust of wind dropped a newspaper at her feet. She eagerly picked it up, for newspapers were rare to her. It happened to be that very morning's paper and. while eagerly glancing through it. she discovered the following article tucked away in the corner of a page:— “CONTEST l-'OR AMATEURS!” “One hundred dollar prize will be given for the best picture, in colors, shown at the Exhibition for Amateurs, to be held Wednesday of the fol- lowing week, in Union Hall. ilere’s your chance! Send all pictures to the hall.” Oh. how Rita longed to try for it! Tuesday would be her birthday and if some kind fairy would only give her • paint-box for a present she could try for the prize! 'Hie very thought made her soft brown eyes glow, and she wished and wished it might come true. W hy. with that one hundred dollars she could go to art school for a whole year! She ran excitedly into the house to show the notice to her mother. “Oh. mother, I’d just love to try for that!” she began enthusiastically. “But,” looking it over carefully, “it says ‘in colors.’ If 1 only had a---- She stopped short in shame. To think of bothering her hard-working little mother with her petty longings! She hastily murmured something about smelling the cookies burning and hurried out of the room, leaving the paper behind her. Mrs. Madison picked it up and read the notice. Now she saw what Rita had been about to say. Well, she wished she could buy the girl a paint- box, but the family did not have any too much money as it was. However, she wouid think it over and sec what could be done. That night Rita went to visit a sick friend and s« Mrs. Madison had a good opportunity to talk the matter over with her husband. The twins. Johnny and Jimmy, sat on the couch as quiet as mice, listening to what their parents were saying, veritable “little pitchers with big ears.” When they learned that Rita wanted a paint-box they spoke up. “Yesterd’y we did an errand for ol’ Missis Gibson an’ she gave us ten cents! We want to buy a paint-box with it for Rita.” “Bless your dear hearts.” exclaimed their mother, “of course you can’t expect to buy a good paint-box these times for only ten cents, but it can go towards one.” There were no handy Five and Ten Cent Stores in the town in which the Madisons lived. 87 Dick, the sixteen-ycar-old son. had been quietly listening and now said: ’Til contribute that fifty cents I was saving, as my share towards a paint-box.” “And I’ll make up the rest.” said the father. “1 can get a paint-box at Batch 's for half price, i’m pretty sure, and I’ll bring it home on my way from work.” And so it was arranged. Rita’s birthday dawned bright and clear, and before the family realized it supper time had come and with it father and the paint-box, which was placed under Rita’s plate. After the family finally settled around the table all eyes were upon Rita as she turned up her plate and found the present. Her joy and surprise were inde- scribable. Tears glistened in her eyes as she brokenly thanked the folks. Immediately after supper she set to work upon her picture, for the exhibition was to take place so soon. She worked long and industri- ously. the twins perched on either side of her watching with bright eyes as she painted. Soon the head of a cat began to appear from under the swift strokes of her brush, and then the body, paws. etc. At last she stopped and the twins saw before them a picture of their own cat. They cried aloud with delight, but begged Rita to put a red ribbon around his neck and then he would really be their very own Tommy cat. And so Rita added this last touch and then wrote be- neath the picture: “'The Family Pet.” while orr the other side she wrote her name and address. On the appointed day for sending in the pictures she carefully wrapped her precious picture in tissue paper and gave it to Dick to take over to the hall. All the rest of the week she was restless and nervous and could not fix her mind upon any- thing but the picture. She hoped and prayed it would win the prize. She went to the parlor windows every chance she got. to watch for the mail man. but he never stopped at their door. One afternoon about I o’clock the door bell rang. It was a messenger with a letter for Miss Rita Madison.” The latter eagerly seized it and read the following:— “Dear Madame: It is with great pleasure that we announce that your picture. ‘The Family Pet.’ has won the contest prize. The famous ar- tist. Mr. Sargent, was chief judge and he pro- nounced your picture a tine piece of work for a beginner. We wish you success in all your future undertakings and hope sometime to ex- hibit more of your work. “Kudosed please find a check for the amount of this prize. “Yours truly. “Frank P. Lane. “Chairman of the Exhibition Committee.” Rita’s fingers closed mechanically about the check. Her dream was to come true at last! 88 SOM ERVI LLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR TWO DAYS CHESTER P. PROTHERO, ’17-B I ’Twas a cheerless and cold winter morning, When I woke from dreams of the May. And the dripping of rain from the house-eaves Turned my thoughts to plans for the day. II With no glimmer of sun in the heavens, ’Twas a day to remain at home; A sweet time for diversion and pleasure 'Till its twelve-hour course had run. III Then there loomed on my happy horizon Duties that ought to he done; I started valiantly for them. To accomplish them one hv one. IV My courageous resolves became shaken. For my pleasures were calling to me With such coaxing bright smiles and sweet laughter; (What a fool that I then could not see!) V But I yielded, and wandered for hours In the realms of adventure and mirth: The dark shadows of night-time grew deeper, And at last I came back to my hearth. VI My adventurous journeys were ended, nd the day had been pleasantly spent; But stern Duty rebuked me so harshly That my head in deep sorrow was bent. VII The sweet call of Temptation I’d heeded. And my work still remained to be done; But at least I had learned a great lesson, That our pleasures are sweetest when won. 1 As I stepped to my window one morning Breathing deeply the fresh, snappy air. I hrough my veins a sharp tingle went flooding; The old world never looked half so fair. II Every tree was rustling with movement, From the east peered the sun’s golden rim. And 1 turned with a laugh from the casement; I was filled to o’erflowing with vim. III Every task was no sooner attempted Than behind me it flew and ’twas done; Like a Trojan I fought and I conquered, Nor did rest till the set of the sun. IV When at noon an old friend came and asked me To go larking the rest of the day, Something told me that this was Temptation. So I thanked him and bravely said “Nay.” V Through the long afternoon as I labored, I grew weary, and lagged at my work; But when later 1 took my way homeward. I was glad that I was not a shirk. VI My fatiguing day’s work was then ended. Relaxation, that evening, was joy; And at last I went gladly to slumber, With no conscience mv dreams to annoy. VII Though Temptation had tested my courage, I had conquered, and freedom had gained, And the peace and contentment of spirit That comes when one’s goal is attained. School Spirit JAMES MURRAY, ’20-B UST when the team is coming on well, the school spirit is dwindling down to nothing. Even the victory last week did not increase the spirit. When the boys find that the school as a whole is not behind them, they will not play nearly as well as if the main body of the school is out on the field cheer- ing as hard as they can.” Such were the words that the coach of the Scranton High baseball team confided to the manager. The coach, new the year before, had worked very hard to make a successful team, but the school was not behind him. In football he had brought out a good team though not the champion, and the school showed up very well in hockey. The baseball team was coming on well so far, having won the first two games of the season, and were working very hard for the (Continued on Page 02) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 89 MAXIMUM CREDIT Mildred Krug Edward Derby John Martin Ruth Berggren Josephine I cCarthv Claire Milliken Arthur Moffatt Alexis Russell Dorothy Currie Goldie Fine Esther Lacount Myron Chandler Clara Fuller Annie Kiley 1917-A Charles Meinberg 1917- B Chester Prothcro 1918- A Arthur Starbird Margaret Symonds Ruth Tuttle Rosebud Young 1918- B Cecile MacDonald Mildred Pestell Gladys Sullivan 1919- A Dudlev Moore Ida Paly Edward Burke Fiank Calkin Dwight Chapman Franklin Doten Charles Easton Helen Hinckley Eleanor Horreil C harles Kolb Dorothy Burgess Mildred Codding Mollie Fine Weston Bennett Marion Blood Agnes C011 well Edna Ludwig 1919- B Eugenie Marier Helen May Edward Miarkey Helen Sweet Robert Taylor Li ilian Trask Stearns Whitney Bertha Wilson 1920- A Harold Price Winthrop Root Lloyd Smith 1920-B Dorothy Perkins Doris Ward Helen Wilson CREDIT 1917-A Esther Maynard Freda Smith Doris Barber Edna Marsh Malcolm Pratt Elbridge Stowell Evelyn Briggs Olga Massari 1918-B Teresa Crowley Helen Mellett Dorothy Blood Helen Xeal Dorothy Holmes Helena Xangle Estelle Bowman Mary O'Shaughncssy Ruth Jones Leona Paasche Dorothy Deacon Dorothy Porter Alice LeSueur J.

It means that at last we. too. are all too soon to depart from the kindly portals of our Alma Mater. It means that we. too. will plunge into the whirlpool of life and be carried on by its re- lentless moving tide. It means, finally, that we are on the last semester of our high school career. Therein lies a faint hope for some of us who have not made as good a record as we might have, to show what we can do. We have five months left. Seniors, to improve our standing whether it is already good or not. That means that all have a chance to really do something more, for you will all admit that none of us arc perfect. If that fortune should by any chance fall to any one of us. he would doubtless cease to be governed by the law of gravitation, the wings would forthwith bear him to ethereal regions. Hut that skyward flight is not likely to happen to any one of us at present: therefore, take heed, classmates, and try to make the world just a lit- tle bit better for your having lived in it. There’s a world of meaning in that sentence. Seniors, and it would be well to think it over. 'Fry to make the world a little bit better for your having lived in it. Remember it! What will the world say of you when at last you leave this vale of tears, or won’t it say anything? I'm sure that none of us wish to lead a selfish, self-devoted life, forever thinking of our own pleasures, do we? Of course we don’t, but still, we may drift into that kind of life unconsciously if we don’t take heed. It all harks back to our thoughts, for, if we think rightly, we must per- force act rightly. Now to return to our original theme. Live months may seem a short time in which to gain a good standing in scholarship and to enjoy a good reputation with our instruc- tors. but Rome fell in one night, as you know. It is never too late to begin to repent and to act rightly. We are at present known to the faculty as a most care-free, happy-go-luckv class. Now that is all very well, provided it be tempered with a certain amount of dignity and ambition to get ahead after leaving school. This is the stage of our life when we are sup- posed to be as care-free as we probably ever will be. and still we should have class pride and act in school in the manner in which we would like to have our class known. We’ve got a great class, Seniors, as has been shown all through our high school course. Now that we’ve only got five more short months to- gether. let’s boom all good things and set class pride above everything else! FRESHMEN: You have spent five months of that most enjoyable period of one’s life, namely, one’s high school career. The question is now. have you lived up to your ideals formed before entering high school? Perhaps some of you have no ideals or ambi- tions. That is indeed a sad and pitiable state for anyone--be he Senior or Freshman. Therefore, C hildren of the Somerville High School, you had best establish some ideals. Do you want to go to college? Arc you think- ing of entering some business institution on leaving school? What do you want to do in life, anyway? Don’t be abashed at that array of questions, Freshmen. Think them over. Don’t pass them by with a smile, thinking that they don’t affect you. They SOM ERVI LLF HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR do! They concern you and your future welfare most vitally. Everyone ought to have an ideal, an ambition to attain some high goal in life. Do you want t go through your high school life in a purposeless, aimless manner? Are you just in school out of tile cold and rain waiting tiil the moving-picture show begins in the afternoon? Or, on the contrary, do you come here with all your lessons prepared to the best of your ability, and ready t do another day’s work. It is work. Freshmen, and it is part of your job in life just at present to do that work. The busi- ness man does his day’s work, likewise the school teacher, the college professor, and the day laborer. The Somerville High School is your place of business; your home room is your office; and your recitations might be termed your busi- ness councils or talks. Now are you working for yourself in this way? You know perfectly well that many of you are not working. True, many imposing looking bags come to school every morning and go home at night, but what is in them? Lunch, in all probability, or some new books to be exchanged. Of course, some of you, perhaps, arc good workers and to you this little paternal discourse does not apply. But as to you dissolute ones, steeped in the lust of the “movies”—fail not to take this sermon to your hearts. In conclusion, Freshmen, the object of this editorial is not to make young saints of your class, but to attempt to plant in your minds the rudiments of true success. Moreover, it is to be hoped that your viewpoint on work, and high school work in particular, will undergo a sudden and violent revolution. Voriibcr, voriiber. at r. k k Jl'XiORS: You have nearly reached the height of all earthly glory and fame, you have almost attained that position of honor for which every Freshman, Sophomore and Junior is ar- dently striving. Do you venture to ask what that summit of glory, that pinnacle of fame to which I refer, is? Why, benighted Juniors, do you realize that next year you will be Seniors, and hence at the head of all the schools of Som- erville? Seriously speaking, Juniors, you are danger- ously close to your last year at high school. That means several things, but the most import- ant is that you must all buckle down and do a day’s work each day. 9i You all want to graduate and most of you de- sire to attend college. These ends cannot be ac- complished by working five hours on your books one day and loafing or flitting about town like some fairy the next three. Depend upon it. my friends, it’s the boy or girl who plods steadily along, doing every lesson every night, that suc- ceeds it' the end. It may seem hard to get started in that habit, but if you make yourself do it at first. 1 will venture to predict that you will like the idea in a few weeks. Remember that while you are in high school, ;here’s no tuition to be paid by your parents. Consequently, while you really are getting some- thing for nothing, why not get all you can? That’s a good business proposition, isn’t it? It isn’t often that we can get something for noth- ing in these days, as you all know. Therefore take advantage of vour opportunities, Juniors, and see if your class can. by dint of earnest and diligent effort, come somewhere near the stand- ard of the Class of 191T-B. your superiors. � • v v •� SOIM iO.MQKES: It is with fear and trembling that I venture to write about your class. You are the most care-free and indifferent of all the classes, according to your name, and you un- doubtedly live up to it. As you may. or may not know, the word “Sophomore” is compounded of two Greek words meaning “wise” and “fool- ish.” Unless you are different from every other Sophomore class since such things came into ex- istence. you are—just what you always will be until you ascend higher- -wise and fooiish. Since you have just struggled up from the green fields and tender buds personifying the Freshmen, and have imbibed a little wisdom by virtue of contact with your superiors, you are profoundly wise at times and ridiculously foolish at other occasions. There are only one or two shining exceptions to this condition among you, who at all times come under the refining influ- ence of a happy medium, but such as these are few and far between. Sophomores, now is the time to get regular habits of study and keep them throughout your high school course, and for ever after. Steady plugging insures good results. l'he Sophomore year is undoubtedly the most critical year of the immortal four. The habits SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9- you form now will of a surety remain with you during the next t wo years. Therefore a word to the wise-----? In the words of this unknown poet:— “If the day looks kinder gloomy And your chances kinder slim. H the situation's puzzlin' .And the prospect’s awful grim, And perplexities keep pressin’ Till all hope is nearly gone, Just bristle up and grit your teeth. And keep on keepin’ on.” k r r r We call attention to a unique feature of this number, the composite story entitled “Joe’s Re- ward.” by pupils of JI-B English A; Airs. Top- lilT. teacher. DEBATING The following students have been selected t represent Somerville in the Interscholastic Tri- angle Debate to be held on March 30, 1017. Af- firmativi-: Sawyer ’17. barren 17 and Morrison ’l . with Martin '17. alternate. Negative: Moure ’17. Derby ’17 and Sherman ’1 . with Guilderson 17. as alternate. The subject for debate will be: “Resolved, that the United States should adopt a system � f old-age pensions modeled on that of Great Britain.” H. L. M.. ’17. SCHOOL SPIRIT championship, but the school showed little spirit, only about fifty students attending each game. Because so little enthusiasm was shown, some of the players began to feel discouraged. Something must be done and done | Everybody on the team and many of the pupils in school realized this. Some way must be found to encourage the school spirit. Their opponents were laughing at them for having so little school support. Seeing that the situation was getting serious, a group of Freshmen determined to try to remedy it if possible. Upon holding a little meeting, one of the boys suggested an idea which was unanimously agreed upon. The idea was to have the tickets printed on diamond-shaped cards, with the following words written thereon:— I AM GOING TO THE GAME, R U? A cord was to be tied to the upper corner, in order that the boys might attach these to their buttonholes and that the girls might wear them on their wrists, or on their sweaters. These were to be sold just like tickets, at twenty-five (Continued from Pago 88) cents apiece, and were t« be on sale two or three days before the game. 'This group of Freshmen, their friends and sympathizers were to start the style by wearing these and they must see that everyone else bought and wore one. too. When entering the grounds to see the game these tickets could be punched and kept for souvenirs. Upon hearing of this scheme the manager seemed somewhat dubious, but the coach was enthusiastic, and ordered an adequate supply printed. A couple of flays before the game, a visitor at the school might have seen each boy and girl be- chanced to pass tagged with one of these tickets, rite idea had caught like wildfire. Any one of the students would have been ashamed not to be wearing one. The whole school, with hardly one exception, was present at the game, which was one of the largest and best of the season. The players were able to do their very best to win and win they did. with the whole school present to share in heir triumph. Not only did the spirit last through that game, but everv one that followed it.

Paragraph points on fads and fashions, written especially for Senior girls by our fashion writer:— Long white gloves are still out of favor for High School graduates. The white frock of simple make is still consid- ered � he latest thing for both February and June graduates. A voile frock is to be preferred over one of satin. There is as yet no sign that flowers will be worn. To be quite chic, be as simple and pretty as possible. From our wise man :— Jf an American workman went to England to work would he be paid in American money? Room ?! will not sec the Spanish class any more which used to meet there the second period, Friday; but the others using the room will not mind, for then they will have a little of the blackboard for themselves. Because of no fault of the Spanish classes the sentences of one week usually remained on till the next week. If Miss R—d— were only a Senior we would appoint her editor's assistant, for services ren- dered. Hie social elect this year seem to consider Heinemann’s select dancing parlors as the fad of the moment. Is it possible that the “Bungalow” has diminished in popularity? Rather let us say the High School Hall has become popular. Many pleasant days for that long looked for vacation. May it be fair, not rainy. Freshman (translating Latin): “They are calling -Sum vocavissem.” Teacher: “That is wrong.” Freshman: “Well, 1 couldn't And ‘calling’ in the book.” The February Seniors had a cold night for graduation, but many people were present. The hall was very prettily and appropriately dec- orated. Both music and speaking were good. Best of all was the cheering, but wait until we get up there. “Through our failures we find success.” If this theory be true. I -B English G will produce a great many successful people. Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the common people. That endless book, the news- paper. is our national glory. A young mcrican artist who has just re- turned from a six-months’ job of driving a Brit- ish ambulance on the war front in Belgium brings this back straight from the trenches:— “One cold morning a sign was pushed up above the German trench facing ours, only about fifty yards away, which bore in large letters the words: ‘Gott mit tins!’ “One of our cockney lads, more of a patriot than a linguist, looked at this for a moment and lampblacked a big sign of his own, which he raised on a stick. It read: ‘We Got Mittens. Too!’ ” Some of our advisers suggested that we have a few jingles or small poems in our column as a change. How have we come out this month? Editorial Elysium:— Fellow dropped into the home room the other day and brought some Radiator notes and we were pleased. Said it was a good column and we were glad. Said it was more than worth the money to anv man of intelligence, and we were tickled. Said it was the mainstay of the school, and we were superticklcd. Promised to bring in some more notes soon and—we slid gently to the floor in blissful unconsciousness. Nature had reached its limit. The war aviator is not too proud to fight, though he is generally above fighting. There arc some Seniors who belong in a very fresh men (Freshmen) class. Did you know that this class is well repre- sented in the football squad, hockey team, boys’ and girls’ debating team, track team, rifle club, etc.? Do you know of all the school activities? 94 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Have the Seniors decided what cheers you are going to use when you go around cheering the teachers? Have you thought of anything origi- nal ? JV-B History F was very downcast on Fri- day. February the third period. Why? Oh, Mr. ( arrit-r was absent and they couldn't recite their well-learned lessons!! The Senior class regrets that Miss Helene Macl’hee has left school. The long looked for. fondly hoped for, and at times seemingly impossible thing has happened. 1!)U-B heads the Radiator column. Let us only hope that we may think of this in the proud knowledge that our notes are the most numer- ous. Girl: “Please give me a cent. Second Girl: “I haven’t any sense (cents). IV B History F can give you the definition of “common courtesy.” Note: As the Englishman said. “What’s the joke?” Room 2 I classes certainly have witnessed some odd sights. The other day a cat liked the room so well that it refused to be “shooed out. A week ago, a boy about twelve years old was so eager t come in and learn history that he stood outside on the window ledge as long as he dared. The above brings to my mind the friendly mice of Room “ 11. Miss R—d—r (seeking information): “What kind are confections diseases?” “We will have to hand it to you. Dorothy, wc don’t know.” The incoming notes have been more numerous this month. Keep up the good work. Seniors! • tiggestcd occupations:— Gilman—bricklayer. Prothero—preacher. Haggerty—basket ball coach. Miss Walters- —English scholar. Leahy—dancing instructor. Roche— comic artist. mnelly— policeman. McA—1—c—authority on love and sentiment. Some teachers have a hard time in trying to make out marks for pupils who are always ab- sent. Don’t go to a side show. Come and visit our Physical Geography class and hear all about the “one-toed horse.” “the eyeless fish. etc. Free to all! Miss Allingham is hunting for a messenger boy to carry her books to her home room after the fourth period. Miss Hunkins has resigned. Are you supporting the debating teams? They are doing hard work for you. Are you helping them ? Our school joys; but. oh. so rare:— An assembly for some other class. An extra study period. A postponed test. The no-school signal. Several of our classmates are contemplating writing books. The titles of some are:— “Why I Renounced Whispering,” by Miss Mc- Williams. “The Only W ay to Arrive at School on Time, ' by Miss Howard. “The Uselessness of the Nail File,” by Miss Shay. Interested relative: “fell me of your year's study in High School. For instance, what did you do last week? Pupil: “Monday, stayed home; Tuesday, practiced debate: Wednesday, prepared for the banquet; Thursday, stayed home; Friday, went to a show.” Relative: “When did you study? Pupil: “Oh. next week will do. Why don’t the girls of 222 send in some notes? Quotations from famous people:— Lillian Cahoon: “Why have we no girls' hockey team?” Joe H—r—: “Going to dancing school Fri- day?” Trefry is the brilliant Spanish scholar of 228. Leader: “I don’t see the harmony of this.” Violinist: “Open the window and get the air.” Slave you decided what you’re going to have against your name in “our” book, Seniors? Why not begin now so as to make the work easier later? “What do you know better than anyone else knows ?” “I know what I’m talking about.” If anyone doubts the statement that the Nor- mal Division isn’t trying hard to be good future school teachers, just go to their physical training room. Everyone is having a chance to lead the room. Heard in English:— “And the company promised to pay the man a year’s wages when he was dead.” Baron has expressed his desire to become a school teacher. Today in English class he raised his hand when asked if the Normal Preparatory students would raise theirs.

Assistant Editor, Louis M. Royal. When our noted poet, Th-------yer, was asked for a poem about our becoming Seniors, he gave ns the following:— “Our Junior year is done, Now let us all be merry. Our Senior year’s begun And to our work we’ll hurry. “W e’ll aim for ‘A’s’ and ‘B’s’ And in our work be thorough, For if we get some ‘D’s’ It will be to our sorrow.” What shall we do to him, fellows? 'Vein---g. our noted explorer, discovered “Pikes Peak” the other day. Heard in English:— Teacher: “What were the ‘twelve good rules’ mentioned in ‘The Deserted Village’?” Mask-------ns: “They had the ten command- ments. but 1 don’t know where they got the other two.” We are no longer 1918-A Jr., but 191S-A Sr. For once the editor started something that he couldn’t finish. He started to write about those who had not contributed to the column, but words tailed him. Miss Browne has composed a new song, dedi- cated to I )unton. entitled Silence the Corner Where You Are.” 11 card in German :— Teacher: “Give this sentence in the past tense. ‘The Rhine flows swiftly.’” Pupil: “The Rhine flew swiftly.” Heard in French:— “Kennedv was ordered to arrest the ele- phant.” I he editor sincerely thanks those who have supported him during the past year. If the notes have been poor and few. think of how many you have passed in. 1918-B Editor. Chester Moore. Assistant Editor Frederick Noyes. Heard in Historv:— Miss ----- (reciting): “Queen Elizabeth was so dishonest that she stole her soldiers’ food.” Teacher (puzzled): “Where did you get that notion ?” Miss -----: “Why. that’s what it says in the history.” Teacher: “Read it.” Miss------: “‘Elizabeth was so parsimoni- ous that she even pinched her soldiers’ ra- tions.’ ” Another class has gone out into the world. A GRADUATE He could quote from musty pages, delve in geo- logic ages, and relax himself in synthesis and such; Could construct an exegesis, startle with a sub- tle thesis, and involve a tortured subject overmuch. He was great in mathematics, as applied to hy- drostatics, or eternal revolution of the spheres. His chronology was measured from the mini- mum of the second to the undiscovered maximum of years. He was constantly amazing with philology and phrasing with vocabulistic plenitude and ease: He was by his fellows quoted, as a lexicon is noted, his attainments were superlative degrees. But behold the fellow later from his sheltering Alma Mater reach his educated fingers for some necessary cash; All the wisdom he may utter doesn’t turn to bread and butter, and his theses do not count for his daily hash. —Selected. But the Seniors aren’t quite so bad as that, so there may be a chance for their succeeding. WANTED: Suggestions for Junior Night. Teacher: “What arc the properties of heat?” Nye: “Heat expands, while cold contracts.” Teacher • “Yes. and give an example.” Nye: “In summer when it is hot the days are long, and in winter when the days are cold, they arc very short.” “Soldiers must be fearfully dishonest,” says Noyes, “as it seems to be a nightly occurrence for a sentry to be relieved of his watch.” More notes. Juniors. Support the column. For next number get them to us before March • . In the way of oddities among books may be noted:— A short man reading Longfellow: a burglar picking at Locke; an artillery man with Shelley; 96 SOMERMLLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR an omnibus driver called for one Moore; a nice young man going to Dickens; a laborer at his Lever; a voting woman with her Lover; a Tom studying Dick's works; a servant looking for the Butler; a lancer learning Shakespeare; a miller deep in Mill; a glazier’s hour with Paine; a hedger absorbed in Hawthorne: a Dutchman interested in Holland: a domestic man with Holmes; a bookseller trying to save his Bacon; a woman in Thiers; a determined man with Kant; a corn doctor with Bunyan’s Progress; a philologist contemplating Wordsworth; a Protestant at Pope; a jolly fellow laughing over Sterne. A shrewd little Freshman, who had just begun to read Latin, astonished his teacher by the fol- lowing translation: “Vir is a man and a Gin a trap: therefore, a Virgin is a mantrap.” A teacher asked a question:— Sloane: “I was unable to hear the question on account of the raging tumult encompassing me.” Teacher: “What!” Sloane: “I couldn’t hear the question because there was a lot of noise around me.” We are starting on a new lap. One-half year nearer the end. Several boys were whispering together in the corridor. Xoves. upon seeing them, was heard to exclaim: “Aha! The thick plottens.” Westland (coming to teacher after test): I d« n’t deserve this ‘E’ that you gave me.” Teacher: “No. you really don’t, but that is the highest mark 1 could give you.” Have tlu members of the Students' Council the grippe? How the Seniors would write “Mary Had a Little Lamb”:— Mary possessed a diminutive sheep, Whose external covering was as devoid of color as the congealed aureous fluid which oc- casionally presents insurmountable bar- riers to railroad travel in the Sierras; And everywhere that Mary peregrinated The juvenile Southdown was certain to rise and accompany her. It tagged her to the alphabet dispensary one day, Which was in contravention of established usage; It caused the other youthful students to cachi- nate and .skyfungle. To perceive an adolescent mutton in an edifice devoted to the dissemination of knowl- edge. And so the preceptor ejected him from the in- terior. But the young Ovis Aries continued to roam in the immediate vicinity And remained in the neighborhood until Mary Once more became visible and said: “Home, James.” “Breath is made of air. We breathe with our lungs, our lights, our liver and our kidneys. If it wasn’t for our breath, we would die when we slept. Our breath keeps the life a-going through our nose and when we are asleep. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe. 'They should wait until they get out-of-doors. Boy's in a room make bad. unwholesome air. They make carbonicide.

I just know it’s wrong.” Teacher: “Haven’t you any grammatical rule to go by?” McKay: “No. I go by ear only.” Heard on February 5:— Senior: ‘if you want to see a menagerie of ‘stuck-ups’ or a zoo of ‘swelled heads’ just drop around to 3U3, 209 or 326.” Sophomore: “Why ?” Senior: “Oh. they just got promoted and haven’t quite gotten over the effects.” If engagements arc any sign of popularity, Treat must be a great favorite with the teachers.

Studious Freshman: What is the meaning of ‘market value’ and ‘intrinsic value’?” Father: “ The ‘market value’ is the price you pay for a thing. ‘Intrinsic value’ is what you get when you sell it to a second-hand dealer.” “Did you see the pleased expression on Mrs. Jones’ lace when I told her she didn’t look any older than her daughter?” ‘No. I was looking at the expression on the daughter’s face.” Freshmen, pass in all your class notes; bring them to Room 113. seat ’ 3.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 99 An exchange column is maintained almost wholly for the purpose of criticism. Of course it is advantageous for schools to exchange ideas, also. An exchange column that is made up entirely of jokes or is merely an acknowl- edgment of the exchanges which have been re- ceived. is not serving its purpose. As yet, the Radiator has not been criticized very much, but the Kxchangc Editor hopes to receive more criticisms—and more exchanges! “O wad some power the giftic gie us. To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frac monie a blunder free us. And foolish notion.” Since everybody should “practise what he preaches.” the Exchange Editor offers the fol- lowing criticisms:— The Artisan —The three pages of cuts in your November number were very amusing. Why doesn’t your exchange editor make some criti- cisms? The Beacon—Your exchange department would be much, improved if the exchanges were listed in alphabetical order. 'I'he Blue Bird—Your magazine is certainly correctly named! Every department is interest- ing. “Over the Teacups,” containing school gossip, is one of the best features. Brocktonia—-Welcome, to our exchange column! Your magazine is well developed m every respect. Ihc Enterprise—“The Autobiography of a Girl” was very entertaining. Where do you come from? 'The High School Review—Your magazine would be much more attractive if the advertise- ments were kept in one place, instead of on every page. The Imp—A few cuts would brighten up your magazine and make it more interesting. Latin School Register—We very much regret that you have no exchange column, as you must have a large number of exchanges. The Quill—We are very glad to receive such a well-managed magazine. It is the best ex- change received this month. The School Life—Your paper shows a good deal of “pep.” but couldn’t you add a table of contents ? Wheat—Each of your editors has a well-de- veloped department. Come again!

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR IOI ATHLETICS AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW While out scouting; for news the other clay, the editor came upon Willie Winkums, back- stop of the Tiddly Winks team, and obtained from him omc valuable information, which was “Why the Hockey Team Hogs Last Place in the League.” The conversation was somewhat af- ter this order:— Editor: “Well. Willie, how did your team come out last night ?” W. W.: “We lost!” Editor: “By an enormous score?” W. V’.: “No, only by three tiddles.” Editor: “Then you are in last place. Are you trying to imitate the hockey team ” W. VV.: “No. it isn’t just that, but we have the same thoughts in common.” Editor: “And pray, what may they be?” W. W.: “You see it was like this: Captain Wilson and I were talking as to whose team was the worse, the Winkers or the Hockcyers. and it was decided that the TTockeyers took the cake, but that Captain Wilson would not feel too bad 1 advanced this argument: If your team can’t be the best in the league it can be the worst. You don’t want to be in the middle be- cause no one would notice you. and besides you would be classed as an average team and Pm sure we are all sick of hearing about things that are average. Why. do you realize that there are 30,000 books written about the average man. miles and miles of figures about the average child and volumes upon volumes of sporting writers’ works on the average team! So you see if your team is unable to get to the top and at- tract notice it can get to the bottom and people- will notice it. but if you are half way you are one of the mob.” Editor: “And does the Tiddly Winks team follow that plan?” W. W.: “Yes. and it is gaining in member- ship every day.” After listening to the speech by Willie Winkum. the editor wandered back to his home room and heard the average of each physical training room read and he wondered if anybody would have noticed his room in the list if they had been in the middle instead of last. A. N. Gorham. SOMERVILLE—MILTON For the first time in the history of tlu- school Somerville defeated Milton Academy. The game was won by efficient team work and showed a marked improvement over the work of previous games. Gilman was unable to play and Captain Wilson substituted for him and did well in the new position. At the end of the first period the score was tied by Nugent on a pass from Orioli. The sec- ond period brought forth a clever shot by “Jimmy” Downing, breaking the tie and giving Somerville the game. The summary:— SOMERVILLE MI ETON Nugent, Shea. r. w..............1. w..

The score was not made until the final minute of play and caused “Freddie” O’Donaghue great unhappi- ness at the graduation exercises that evening, for because of his “bone” this score was made possible. He passed the puck from behind the goal line zone in front of the net and Mulrey of 102 - 3 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Rindge took tiic puck and made a try for the goal. Gilman knocked it down, but a scrimmage followed in front of the net and D. Grant puckcd the puck in the net. Improvement in all of Somerville's depart- ments was very noticeable, and if points for good work could have won the game our boys would have been the victors. The summary:— SOM ER VILLI'.

January 31, the Somerville team had a fine excursion to Southboro and saw while there the fine grounds and buildings of this institution and also the athletic field. A fine trip was enjoyed by all of the boys. While there, a little bit of hockey was played with the St. Mark’s team, and in respect to their polite- ness for inviting them down there Somerville let them win. I to 0. SOMERVILLE ST.

Somerville lost to St. John’s Prep, by a score of 2 to 1. Somerville’s goal was shot from the middle of the rink, while St. John’s goals rolled through Gilman’s skate. Somer- ville showed great need of practice in the for- ward line. SOMERVILLE-MELROSE On Friday, January 12. Somerville lost a league game to Melrose, by a score of 3 to 0. As up to this time neither team had won a game there was great interest shown in the out- come of this battle. Melrose played Somerville right oft of its feet and made the Red and Blue look very cheap. SOMERVILLE—NEWTON In a shinny match between Somerville and Newton at the Arena the other Friday after- noon. Somerville came out behind in the score but far ahead in the “shinny end.” A Boston newspaper called it the roughest game seen in the Interscholastic League this season, but also added that the boys went at it in a rugged but not dirty manner. Somerville put up a strong defensive game during the opening period, surprising Newton. However, when the second period was ended Newton had been able to score two goals. “Ernie” was right in the game all of the time and made a very good showing, but could not stop the Newton team single-handed. The Somerville forwards were stopped before they were anywhere near the goal. Orioli was the best stick-handler, but he was too slow to be effective. The summary:— SOM ERVILLE NEWTON Orioli.

The Academy team was in the best of condition and played a line game of hockey. “Tubber” White, the Ex- Kindgc player, was the star of the Exeter team, while “Jimmy” Downing and Gilman showed up good for the Red and Blue. There was a num- ber of ex-Somervillians cheering for Exeter at the game, among whom was “Ed” Clark, “Jack” Brewer and Bill” Bennett. (They say Horace had another engagement and was unable to at- tend the game. Tough luck. Gilmore, old boy.) SCHOOL HOCKEY STANDING FEBRUARY 5 Won Lost P. C.

Remember, you hockey players, that you still have a chance to get out of the cellar, so don’t go and break training before it is time. Basket bail is becoming very popular with a number of the boys at the present time and three or fiutr interesting games have taken place between “The Sullivans” and the Y. M. C. A.’s High School Class. Isn’t it nearly time for the faculty to start in- door practice for the Senior-Faculty game. Mr. Mahoney? R. S. V. P. A little word of caution to “Bill Perry and “Charlie” Deacon: Perhaps if you boys did not take the physical training exercises so hard you would feel better to play hockey. All February Freshmen are asked to report at the ball at the close of school to become mem- bers of the marble team. The Seniors will dig the “bunnies.” The Rifle Team defeated Kbulge, February 2, 1917, by one point. The Somerville Team shot a score of 545. while their opponents shot a score of 514. This meet was the last meet in the first round and the Somerville marksmen arc out for the cup for the second round matches. O. P. S. MINSTREL SHOW Psi Chapter of Omicron Pi Sigma Fraternity entertained an appreciative audience Friday night, February 9, with a minstrel show and dance. As usual, the fraternity scored a great success both socially and financially. The end men, John Brower, C. Mason Morse. Webster Hall. William Preble and Ralph Binncy, were assisted by an able chorus of about twenty-five members. Frank O. Robson acted as interlocutor.

S., ’ 16-B, Harvard ’20 OSCOE King, vice-president of the Modern Film Company, gazed thoughtfully at the busy actors in the studio on the right. The sar- castic words of the directors came to his ears in discordant tones, and the rapid shots of musketry in a battle scene in an old castle jarred on his nerves. He was worn out. With a discouraged sigh lie returned to the pile of complicated scenarios in front of him. Then, with a decisive movement lie flung down his pencil and told one of the camera men to summon Karl Reid, the leading man. A well-built, pleasant appearing young man answered his summons. In answer to Reid’s query in regard to his request, the vice-president spoke as follows :— “It is now over four weeks since we started this studio in Boston, Reid, and you well know what kind of material we have been turning out. We have been instructed to develop historical plots. We have produced scenes from the Revo- lution. we have depicted views of kingdoms in Strassburg. we have portrayed parts of the C ivil War. and we have stormed the castle of Mac- beth. and shown Joan of Arc being burned at the stake. I am tired of all this, as you must be. and these plots before me are of the same character. Xow the chief thinks that 1 cannot turnout something modern, and I want to prove to him that he is wrong by producing a modern photoplay that contains action and adventure. But I don’t know where I am going to get the scenario, for only this kind of literature is sent to me. What do you think of the scheme, any- way ?” “The idea is fine.” enthusiastically declared the leading man. and I think I can help you out. I have a nephew in Somerville who is going to college. This morning he handed me a story to mail to the editor of his high school paper, the Radiator, and as I glanced it through coming in on the car. I thought it unusually good. Xow. if you can revise it into compact scenes, and cut out certain parts, perhaps you can cull some ideas from it. I’ll ’phone him. in order that he may write another story for the Alumni number. Well, here’s the story.” With a hopeful look. King reached for the manuscript, and after settling himself comfort- ably perused the following story:— ‘ Ex-District Attorney John Hurley completed liis official calls at the City Hall, and with a quick step entered his Packard. In compliance with his instructions, the chauffeur guided the car up School street, then along Trcmont street towards Back Bay. As the purring limousine threaded its way through the labyrinth of cars and maze of trucks, he thought of the recent de- feat for re-election. He felt in no humor to call on his aristocratic friends, and directed the chauffeur to turn around and proceed to the large department store of Wallace and Company on West street. Entering the store he advanced towards the dress goods counter, and began in- specting a piece of tweed cloth that had just been unrolled. The two clerks assigned to that department were Jack Burton and Edward Rothhall. The former was an ambitious young man who had lived his boyhood in Xew Hampshire, and who had come to Boston when his widowed mother had died and found a home with his rich, though miserly uncle. Jack had been forced from the house one day in a heated discussion over his father, and had been obliged to shift for himself. After many trials he had finally se- cured a position with Wallace and Company, and was well on the way towards advancement. He was reputed to be an industrious and effi- cient salesman. The latter was entirely dif- ferent. He was a rounder of cabarets, and was frequently in debt from gambling. Ilis eyes were heavy from want of sleep, and he was cor. tinuallv nervously drumming with his pencil and net attending strictly to business. He was. in a modern phrase, a “spender.” “I’ll have eight yards of this.” said the ex-dis- trict attorney, as Jack advanced to serve him. Hurley placed his pocket book on the counter, and was preparing to withdraw some money when he heard his name spoken. Turning quickly around he perceived an old political friend with whom he was soon engaged in con- versation. Meanwhile. Jack had withdrawn • the further end of the counter to place some goods back upon the shelf, intending to take the ex-district attorney’s sale when he was through speaking with his friend. Jack had not perceived the wallet, but Roth- hall had. lie needed money badly to settle lr's many gambling debts. Here was an easy solu- tion to the problem. He would secure the pocket book when no one was looking. Casually he began to roll up the tweed, and incidentally, the wallet also, which had been placed on the cloth. With his back turned he hastened to the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR cloak room and put the pocket book into what he thought was the pocket of his own coat, but which was in reality the pocket of Jack’s coat, which had accidentally overlapped and con- cealed his own coat. Having said farewell Hurley turned around and reached for his pocket book. Of course, it had disappeared. Being devoid of emotions, he made no scene, but went directiv to the presi- dent. whom he knew personally. The latter was quite indignant, and declared that an example should be made of the thief. Summoning the store detective, an investigation was at once started. The goods behind the counter were in- spected. and Jack and Rothhall were examined, but to no avail. At last the detective decided to visit the cloak room, and found the wallet in Jack’s pocket. Jack vigorously denied his guilt, and Rothhall was too frightened by the thought of his own danger to confess. Destitute of friends. Jack was led away amid the pitying looks of the clerks and other employees. With ex-district attorney prosecuting the case and President W allace endorsing him. the affair was quickly pushed through, and Jack was sen- tenced to three years in prison for larceny. How odious and offensive this word, prison, hitherto foreign and unthought off, was to him now. He was considered by the public at large as a criminal, lie must now be known not by a name, but by a number. He had just learned that his uncle and Hurley had been enemies for years, which had made Hurley prosecute the case with more interest and vigor. He vowed that prison should not make a criminal out of him. and that he would retain his ambition and would begin again under an assumed name away from Boston. His cell-mate was known as “Big Bill.” He had been a member of the East End. and had been arrested in a raid upon a gambling den. He was a blunt man. but it was not long before he became attached to Jack The first day Jack told his story to Bill, and in return Bill vehe- mently declared:— “Say. kid. that is just th’ kind of men that is send us here. I ain’t never done nothing, but because me character was bad. and I was booked before, they shoves me up for five and I have four more years to go yet. Don’t yer mind. 1 11 get yer out of here somehow. I got a good wife pluggin’ fer me. an’ if yer gets out I want yer to take a message to her and help her if yer can. for. thank God. she’s straight.” Worn out from the day’s excitement Jack filing himself down on the hard bed early. He knelt and began to say his prayers. Bill, who had been looking through the paper, looked up and watched him intently. Then he thought of 109 his own early life and his mother, and big man though he was, he began to sob. When Jack had finished, he asked to be taught to say them. too. f rom that time on they became fast friends. In six months the monotony of prison life be- gan to tell on Jack. He commenced to lose hope, to grow despondent, and to criticise hu- manity. Bill saw the sensitive nature of the boy and determined to get him out of the jail. Opportunity came one day. A iarge wagon with huge boxes of bread was unloading in the yard. When the empty boxes were replaced on the wagon, and the attention of the guard was diverted. Bill lifted lack quickly up. and placed him in one of the empty boxes, not forgetting to hand him a little card, however, which Jack placed in his shoe. 'file wagon rattled out of the yard and over the paved streets of the city. After a time the wagon left the paved street and struck firm ground. Jack raised the lid of the box cau- ti usly and saw the Prospect Hill freight yards in the distance. The one thing he lacked was clothes. Fortune smiled on him, for directly in front were the street clothes of the driver, who had discarded them for his working uniform. Cautiously Jack slipped into these, and at a. fav rable moment jumped from the wagon. Having disposed of his striped prison suit, lie walked quickly towards the freight yards in front of him. He had no fear of immediate pur- suit, for only one guard had been detailed to his section, and as the men were scattered about the yard, it was not improbable that his escape would not be noticed until the evening inspec- tion. How good it seemed to be able to breathe God s free air once more and to be able to walk without stone walls for a barrier. How care- lessly he had appreciated his former freedom! Arriving at the freight yards, he noticed that a long freight was pulling out towards Somer- ville. This was the natural means to get away. Without hesitation he boarded one of the cars. The train was bound for Canada, and after an all-night ride, tedious in the extreme, he arrived in Montreal, hungry and dirty. He washed at the . M. C. A. and was offered a night’s rest, which lie gratefully accepted. The following morning he walked down Tower Road, and saw a group of men gathered around a white brick building. From inquiries he discovered that this was the army headquarters. Here was a chance to achieve distinction, and incidentally, get fur- ther away from Boston. L S. A. He offered to volunteer. As England needed men badly, no searching questions were asked, and as he was fit physically, lie was fitted out to be a regular fighting Tommy. As the train left the station to connect with a fast transport ship sailing for SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i io London, the people cheered madly. The soldiers were the heroes of the hour. How vividly Kip- ling’s words came back to him as the houses and fields flew past:— “For it’s Tommy this, and Tommy that. And throw ’ini out. the brute. But it’s Tommy, the saviour of ’is country. When the guns begin to shoot.” It was not many weeks before Jack found out that Sherman’s words were true. The bloody strife at Verdun had left many a mother without her son. and many a young wife with- out her husband. All the important battles in France, he had a share in. and it was when he charged single-handed a machine gun of the enemy which was raising havoc with the men in the trenches that he was severely wounded. He had driven the enemy from their position by his gallantry, and received the Victoria Cross and a commission to be a lieutenant. Ilis convalescence in the temporary Red Cross Hospital will always be a tender remembrance to him. A dainty, self-sacrificing nurse was as- signed to his ward. She was always smiling, and trying to make the heroes more comfort- able. Daily she read to Jack. She knew his story and was glad that he had so nobly proved his worth, and was sure everything would come out all right. To return the compliment she told her own history. She had trained in the Somerville Hospital after graduation from high school, and had volunteered for service “some- where in France.” Naturally, having lived so near to each other so long without either know- ing the other, their hearts, words and thoughts became more or less blended together. “I’m going to be assigned to another ward.” said Miss Emma Holden (for that was her name), in a very teasing manner. “V.5U are. replied Jack, and his face had such a gloomy, downcast look that Miss Holden was forced to burst into pealing laughter and admit that she was only joking. “You don’t realize lion much you mean to me.” continued Jack, you------’’ but why con- tinue? 'I bis is not a love story, and to make a long story short. Miss Holden agreed to return to Boston, I'. S. A... with Jack Burton and share his troubles for life. When Jack fully recovered peace had been declared, and the United States had been chosen as the principal neutral power to dictate the terms of peace. That mighty struggle of chaos was over, and with an honorable discharge from the army lack and his sweetheart sailed on the next liner bound for Boston. No need was there now to scan the waters for the terrible submarine and torpedo destroyer. When Jack arrived in Boston no one would have known him. With a moustache and face tanned from hardships in all kinds of weather he appeared much older and stronger. Looking in the paper that day in the hotel he discovered the following advertisement: Will Jack Burton, who escaped from prison June 2. 1!)11, please communicate with Stellar and Stellar, attor- neys-at-law ?” When Jack answered the advertisement a double surprise awaited him. His uncle had died and left to him a fortune of thirty thousand dol- lars. Edward Rothhall had been mortally wounded in a fight over cards, and in his last moments confessed the wrong he had done Jack. Jack’s name was now cleared, and the large store on West street now bears the sign over the door of Burton. Wallace and Company. One evening as Jack was sitting in his cosy, comfortable sitting room talking to his beauti- ful wife and a middle-aged lady, who was none other than “Big Bill’s” better half, he fondly gazed at a small card he held in his hand, which bore the following words: I will be out Sep- tember 1918: meet me at 1 ? Carleton street. Bill.” Tomorrow evening is the night.” mused Jack. What a meeting it is going to be!” And what a meeting it was! As Bill despondently looked about him a large Pierce-Arrow limousino glided up to him and stopped. Out jumped Jack, and ran to him and welcomed him. Poor Bill could only stammer and look about him to see if he were awake. Then he was pushed into the rear of the car where a lady sat veiled. She lifted the veil, and they were soon in a deep em- brace. It was a joyous reunion for all. Jack drove them to the modest, yet attractive, apart- ment he had furnished for them, in which Bid found everything for his needs. On the table fastened to an alarm clock was the following notice printed on a card:— “Report at 8.3o tomorrow at Burton. Wallace, and Company. You are manager of the ship- ping room. Salary. $18.000 a year. Bill’s tears fell freely. Kneeling he gazed up- ward. and brokenly sobbed: O God, you're too good to a feller like me.” o For a moment King held the copy in his hand. Then he glanced at Reid and said: This is just what I need. 'The story is a school boy’s tale, but it has plot, characterization and setting. We’ll use every scene mentioned. We’ll make it a five-reel thriller. We’ll star you and Ethel Clayton. We’ll be famous after producing this. And above all we'll call the drama 'Jack Wil- ton’s Adventures.’” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I I ! Entrenched PHILIP B. LEWIS, S. H. S., ’14, Tufts, ’18 T was “somewhere in France. ’ 191- (you may choose the last numeral). Snow, inches deep, covered every hummock in the ground for miles and miles and miles. A narrow and shallow creek stretched a cold, gloomy ribbon across the vast expanse of white, while not far from the southern bank a second ribbon ran parallel for a distance of three miles or more. In this second ribbon a regiment of the French army was entrenched. Close on the heels of the snowfall had fol- lowed a thaw, and already the earth had begun to take up large quantities of cold slush. An army plane ran purring from one end to the other of the long, straw-covered ribbon, then, hovering lower, flew southward and disappeared “within the lines.” A French infantryman rolled restlessly in his water-sodden blanket, lie knew that he was “somewhere in France,” but just where he could not definitely say.' He shifted his position to dodge a rivulet which had found one of the many holes in the turf and straw of the crude shelter over the entrenchment, it was all very strange, this war. Within the trenches, men fought to live; without, they fought frequently to die. He had breathed no clean air for months, and even now he was beginning to believe that all wordly atmosphere was tinged with an odor of damp, water-soaked earth, blended with the stench of ammonia. A velvet blackness surrounded the soldier as he lay on the moisture,—in the moisture, ill in body and in brain. He could realize that he was one of hundreds only by the heavy breathing of hundreds of pairs of exhausted lungs,—lungs that heaved, and sighed, and squeaked, and groaned. He disengaged a hand from the folds of his sticky blanket, rolled on his side and rum- maged in a hip pocket for pipe and tobacco. As his fingers closed over a water-soaked, sponge- like mass which had once been a tobacco pouch, he felt the muscles of his face tighten. l b- thought that he must have smiled, but he would never know for certain—it was too dark, too black to know anything with certainty. A brother soldier paced doggedly by on guard duty. Nothing in his manner indicated that he was one of France's best trained military men. Like all men in the trenches he was sallow, sul- len. and unresponsive. The soldier in the blanket heard the steps above him, and knew that the guard was walk- ing very close to the first rim of the trench from the gravel that rolled down through the straw and turf. As again the man shifted his position, a tiny speck of clear sky revealed itself through a crack in the shelter above his head. He wondered faintly if his wife. Marie, could see that star. A brilliant star gleamed within that speck of sky. Her face seemed for a moment to smile at him through the gleam of light: then the odor of ammonia and of dirty human bodies came to his nostrils, and he sank back into the mire with a groan. He had not seen Marie for months—it seemed centuries— but. when the war was over, then would he go back to her and to the little child which had been born since lie had been away at the front. Again the muscles of his cheeks tightened, and the water which ran down his face and into his mouth tasted of salt. “Some day.” he thought, “some day. when my country is done with light- ing, Marie, my wife!” a Kf 8 'I he report of a high-power rifle was stifled somewhat by the sod above the soldier’s head. He knew what that sound meant, lie had heard it many times before. Presently there would be a call to arms. The enemy were attempting a night attack. A shell burst directly above the trench not more than twenty meters down along the line of sleeping men. The trench covering collapsed, and men fought stifling mud and heavy sand and rocks as rats light to free them- selves from the meshes of a wire trap. Officers gave sharp orders in voices that seemed to bark, and men rolled out of wet blan- kets into the open of the narrow trench, wal- lowing knee deep, but alert for fresh orders. Marie’s husband rolled out with the rest. More shells broke with increasing frequency, bombs of deadly gas added to the stench of tlvr trench, while cries of the wounded and of the dying could be heard. A volley of light arms was fired upon the struggling men in the trench, followed by a return volley from the French. The big guns of the trench soon joined in the din. order followed order, and the men scurried to and fro. After a very heavy volley of gas bombs, shells, and high-powers, the enemy's in- fantry charged from cover. The French did their best to repulse the attack, but soon all or- ders were quite useless: the enemy were gaining in spite of their best efforts, and it was only a question of minutes before it would be “each man for himself with the bayonet.” I 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Shells were no longer fired, nor were gas bombs hurled into the lines. The enemy’s fourth line reached the entrenchment, and started to hew its way through the “first line defences” with the bayonet. Could Marie’s husband kill men with the bayonet? He had shot many men he well knew. —but to gore and slaughter in so horrible a manner—that was a different matter. He hesi- tated, hut only for a moment. The enemy were fast approaching his part of the trench, it was his duty to prevent any of them getting beyond that point. He sprang into the thick of the fight laughing like a demon, cutting, slashing, stab- bing every man in a metal helmet. This was war. “all is fair in war.” � : It was February, “somewhere in France.” Snow, inches deep, was calicoed in red slush, with a seemingly endless pattern of polka dots made by prostrate human forms in every con- ceivable dismembered attitude. A French in- fantryman convulsively regained consciousness. What had happened? Oh. yes. lie could vaguely remember: there had been a night attack, he had been fighting, and now something very heavy was bearing down on his body. lie looked about him with difficulty. It was a star-lit night. He was in a trench. He tried to get up. but something knifelike cut into his breast when he tried to move. A human body was lying across his. and the dead hands grasped a musket, the bayonet f which was pinning him to the ground. There was no pain in his body, but he was very uncomfortable, all this was so unnatural, so uncanny, so strange. A large drop of moisture spattered down upon his forehead and ran into his eyes. Oh. yes. the trenches had been very wet during the last few days, he remembered. He was thirsty, and wiping the moisture from his forehead with a grimy hand, he passed the hand over his parched lips. Even in the blackness of his surroundings, he could sec that this moisture was very dark as it appeared upon his hand, and it tasted very strongly of rust. He rolled his eyes upward and saw a human head directly above him. The head was minus a scalp, while the dead face bore a horrible grin. Most likely the moisture was coming from that head, so the infantryman thought. I have swallowed brains and blood!” cried the Frenchman with the sickening gurgle f a man whose lungs have much blood in them. H laughed a hoarse, cackling laugh. He was lying in a pool. He was very uncom- fortable. and everything was strange. Hi- strength was rapidly leaving him. He looked up and saw Marie’s star. He thought of her and of the little one whom he had never seen. Objects were beginning to haze before him. lie muttered incoherently. “Even if my pipe and tobacco are gone. I can rest here and think . . . but the battle . . . who said ‘war is hell’ .... Aren't you glad to get me home again, Marie? . . . Yes, war—is—like—r that. . . . and there's no music to it.” His muscles relaxed, his head sank to the ground, and his hair became saturated with bloody turf and slush. “Marie, moil amie—’’ The lips formed the words, but there was no sound. The Monogramed Car SARAH INGHAM, M6-B MILE seated by the window reading Beth was aroused from her hook by a heavy chugging noise outside. Upon looking out. a large touring car. and a young man darting here and there, met her eye. Evidently something was wrong with the machine, for a puzzled expression crossed the young man’s face. Pulling his watch from his pocket he exclaimed, “By Jove! Only ten minutes to catch that train that Aunt Sue is on. I’ve got to make it somehow, though.” Looking around he noticed a horse graz- ing near the house, and a covered carriage near the barn door. An idea! Running to the back door be knocked hastily, and B$th, being the only one at home, answered the knock. “Pardon me. madam, but could I borrow the horse and carriage that’s out here? I’m in an aw- ful fix. My machine has broken down and I’m to meet mv aunt at the station in eight minutes. I really must he there or else she’d have a fit.” Beth was puzzled. Should she let her prize horse into the hands of a stranger, and what would her parents say if she did? The rather impatient young man drew a card from a case and passed it to her, saying: “You know you may keep my car until your outfit re- turns. You'd oblige me so much if—” All right, you may take it. but don’t let any- thing happen.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 113 Soon the horse was galloping down the road, and Beth was left alone with her thoughts. “Guess I’ll explore the car while he’s away,” thought Beth, as she ran to the road. A mono- gram. V. A. I’., in gilt on the door attracted her attention as the initials were studded with tiny stones. AY—‘A.’—‘IV—what funny initials. By the way. I haven’t even looked at his card yet.” Drawing it from her apron pocket her eyes be- held “Victor A. Primrose. Lawyer. New York City.” Were her eyes deceiving her. or was it really true that this was the name of the young man tint she had met in New York eight years ago? No wonder they hadn't recognized each other, for at that time they were only fourteen. She was growing impatient for the return of her horse, also for the young man, she had to confess to herself. Around the corner came prancing “Black Beauty,” bearing a young man and an elderly woman. On reaching the gate the young man alighted and said: I surely appreciate the loan of your horse. Allow me to present my Aunt Sue to you. Miss-------” “Pemberton,” interrupted Beth. ‘ Pemberton! Did you say Pemberton? Why, say. are you Beth Pemberton that visited the Smiths in New York six or seven years ago?” 1 think I can answer for that name. Air. Prim- rose.” and now she displayed two delightful dim- ples in her rosy cheeks. Hands were shaken and each tried to outdo the other in the line of asking and answering ques- tions. “You see Dad has hired the Burns cottage for the summer, and we’re all here to get a breath of real air. Of course I must study some, but that won’t matter. It's sure jolly to find that an old friend lives so near. I must run along with Aunt Sue. then I’ll return your borrowed property.” When Beth’s parents returned at supper time they were very much surprised to see her on the piazza in close conversation with a strange young man. but after an explanation he was made most welcome, and that welcome was a lasting one. When Victor returned to New York in the fall a solitaire sparkled on Beth’s left hand, and the following summer the two started off on their hon- eymoon in the car with the gilded monogram. The Egotist CHESTER E. PROTHERO, M7-B By the side of the road I sat resting one noon, And I watched the great throng passing by; Through the mass came a man with a handsome, proud face, And a manner I would not call shy. But his bearing attracted me somehow, and so I arose and stepped to his side. For perhaps he could help me to end my long search; A hand’s touch, and he paused in his stride. “My friend.” I began. “I have stopped you today To request that you help me to find A man who is known by his virtuous deeds, Not by feature of face, but of mind. “Do you know of a man who is brave in the strife Of battle, but gentle at home: A man with the courage to venture his life. Who is kind to the sick and the lone? “Do you know of a man whose courtesy seems Like a garment unconsciously worn. And not like a cloak which is laid aside. To be treated with rudeness and scorn? “Do you know of a man whom a poor man can trust With his savings of many a year: In whose hands the great wealth of rich men is safe; Whom for h mesty people revere? “Do you know of a man with ability great. Whose conceit, notwithstanding, is small? I f you do, have the goodness to ti ll me his name. For in him lies the best of us all. When I finished, my listener pondered awhile, Then he turned and replied with a sigh. “1 have tried all in vain to recall what you ask. And I know of but one; it is I.” Then I rose from my scat by the side of the road, And I turned to the stranger and spoke: “You were kind to postpone your noon’s pleasure to help In my search midst the vast hordes of folk: But my message to you is not sweet, though ’tis sound. If your virtues be great to your mind. Do not sing them yourself to disgust those who hear. But trust others your value to find.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 114 By Headmaster Avery [Fr :n a:i addrsss delivered before the Conference of High School Principals held under the auspices of the State Hoard of Education, March 15. 1017.] HE mental and to an extent the moral training of our youth has until re- cently been regarded as the only function of the public school. The training of their bodies, how- ever, has been considered largely beyond the range or ability of the public school teacher. The need for this kind of training has. of course, grown as the opportunities for boys and girls to get adequate exercise outside of school have decreased. Particularly in the city the change in the character of home life, the decreasing num- ber of chores possible at home, and of places for outdoor play have deprived the young people of any systematic or regular means for physical exer- cise. 'I bis has gradually been met by playgrounds, summer sports, and in the modern high schools, gymnasiums, swimming jjooIs and athletic games. In Somerville, as in other cities where the school buildings arc not of recent construction, there is no gymnasium, and supervised physical training has been given only to the few fortunate enough to get places on the various teams repre- senting the school in athletic contests. In a school of 2,000 these sports have reached about 200; largely boys, and pupils who to a large extent arc the best developed and therefore need the exer- cises the least. About 1,800. therefore, many of these frail, undeveloped, with little to take up their minds and with practically no knowledge of how to improve their strength and best develop their bodies, have been left to shift for themselves and to acquire habits not of good standing, poise, and trained use of their muscles, but rather of shiftless appearance, wrong position in standing and sitting, and in some cases habits which in later life lead to weak bodies and often to disease. How to meet this situation has been the prob- lem. Military drill has been considered, but has thus far been thought not advisable for two reasons: ( 1 ) because it furnished nothing for the girls, and (2) because if carried to the extent required as a real training for military efficiency it is too stren- uous : it serves rather to stunt than to develop the youth in the adolescent stage, and it is looked upon by many military experts as unsuitable for boys of high school age. It is the general consen- sus of opinion among military men and physical training men alike that a systematic muscular de- velopment and a knowledge of hygienic and sani- tary conditions of living furnish a much better “preparedness,” and make our young people much abler in later life to meet warfare or the struggle for existence and success. As a test case, therefore, we have put into operation in Somerville this year a series of “schoolroom drills” or “setting-up exercises” which thus far have resulted in interest and profit. After two periods of recitations the pupils gather in groups, about forty to a group, by boys and by girls, and for ten minutes, windows opened wide winter and summer, they go through a series of exercises suitable to the contracted space in which they must necessarily work. These exercises are the result of the experience of our physical direc- tor. Mr. Ernst Hermann, who has taken great interest in training the leaders and in following their work. Two leaders from each group, sub- ject to simple eligibility rules, are elected by the pupils. At the end of every ten weeks an elimina- tion contest is held. This brings six groups, three girls’ and three boys’ groups, into the finals. These final contests take place in the presence of the entire school. As a result of the finals, shields are presented to the winning girls’ and boys’ group and medals to their leaders. The pupils have entered enthusiastically into these exercises and the teachers heartily approve and encourage. The value to our school of these drills may be summed up in brief:— (1) They can be used anywhere in the build- ing. rooms, corridors, or out of doors. (2) They come daily at the time most needed, i.e.. after about two periods of sedentary applica- tion. Recess makes a fitting break after the fourth period. (.■ ) fhe drills are based upon physiological principles. They tone up heart action and stimu- late the circulation of blood and lymph. They stimulate the elimination of waste products, re- lieve congestion, fix mental attention upon physi- cal well being, improve respiration, and regulate skin action. ( 1 ] The system teaches practical hygiene by insisting that all the pupils be made to understand that daily exercise is an absolute necessity for body, mind and soul, and that only by daily prac- tice can we develop everyday habits. Bodily ex- ercise can effect real physical well being only when taken frequently. Occasional indulgence cannot produce it. Even if we had our gymnastic lessons and athletic games twice a week we would not effectively develop regular habits without some scheme of daily practice. (• ) 'fhe social and civic value lies in the sys- tematic and periodical election of leaders by small SOM HR V ILLIC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR groups of pupils. If handled rightly by the school management it will organize the whole school into an effective unit. This will make itself felt in all other school activities. A carefully planned elec- tion will generally bring out the real boy and girl leaders. T his will react upon the whole student body by developing civic virtues, it will create a co-operative spirit in getting the best possible lead- ers. and. after getting good leaders, co-operation in bringing about the promotion of communal in- terest. In conclusion I believe that our experience has on the whole been well and favorably received by the teachers, and has already created a lively inter- est and a decided gain in physical development among the pupils. At the Front PAUL EDOERTON, ’18 B Detention Camp. Bremen, Germany. My dear John:— Rather unexpected heading, what? Last time you heard from me I was war correspondent for the New York World, headquarters, United States Hotel, Paris; now 1 am still the correspondent, but on the other side of the war map. I left the hotel two weeks ago Thursday morn- ing with my pass to the French and Knglish lines signed by General Joffre himself. I wore my old khaki service uniform, which looks much like the uniform of the Knglish Tommies, and I got by without much trouble. I motored to the last trench and then the fun began. After threading my way through a perfect laby- rinth of communication trenches, I finally reached the second trench. There I had more trouble, but with the aid of my pass I reached the first trench. As I stepped out into it I could hear the whine of bullets overhead, and with clock-like regularity the bursting of large shells near me—not a very pleasant sound, let me assure you. The trench was simply a ditch about twelve feet deep, with sand bags piled up in front. A ledge of dirt, left when the trench was dug. covered with boards, was the platform on which the soldiers stood. At regular intervals was a trench periscope, and, seeing one unoccupied. 1 immediately took pos- sessi n. but t my disappointment all 1 could see was several hills, barbed-wire entanglements and mud. Suddenly from a low hill on the right a volume of smoke burst forth, then from the left, and finally from the centre. An artillery bombard- ment was on. The huge shells buried themselves with loud explosions very near us. but none seemed to strike in the trench. The aeroplanes which were hovering above had evidently over-estimated the range, for most of the shells struck behind us. and soon the distance to the second trench was a succession of shell craters. Then the lire stopped as quickly as it had begun and all was quiet for several minutes Next a sea- green wave sprang up from nowhere, and rolled on with irresistible force. It was a German ad- vance. Long before the wave broke and filled the trench I was on my way back, but just my luck, a shell had blocked the communication trench. As 1 turned to go back a shell burst in the ground somewhere very near me. and I was knocked sense- less by the concussion. When I came to it was dark, but I could hear guttural voices around me. I crept along the trench and suddenly touched a human body. It was a sleeping soldier, and exactly thirty seconds later I was a prisoner, thanks t a flash-light. When I was brought out into the trench I saw that the sand bags had been shifted s: that the trench now faced Paris. It seemed as if my cap- tors could not understand Knglish, so I was sent to the rear under the watchful eyes of two guards. Here I was brought before one of the staff officers who spoke Knglish fluently, and was told that I was a suspected spy. and that my case would be tried the next morning. You can un- dei stand why I did not spend a very re-tfill night. When at last morning came I was brought be- fore seven staff officers and the facts laid liare. 1 told my story, and presented a letter I happened to have front a friend in America, but it was of no use. My pass, my uniform, my field-glass, my place of capture, all were against me. .After forty- five minutes of cross-examination I was sentenced to be shot at sunset. Then, the old story—I remembered my field- glass case, in the bottom of which I sometimes car- ried my instructions from the home office, and I asked for the glasses. They were handed to me and there, just when most needed, were my in- structions from the New York World. That was sufficient. I was acquitted, but sent to Bremen, where I now am, waiting to be shipped home by the first boat. Your old friend. Robert Pearson. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 116 ■KLOK™, ■isarvu?. The student body with the alumni of the Somer- ville High School feel a deep sense of loss in the death of Colonel Edward Clines, a distinguished citizen of Somerville and a graduate of the High School in the class of 1869. Colonel Clines was a warm friend of the High School: his interest was shown in many ways. The last expression of it is especially touching. The valuable oil painting of the Unfurling of the American Flag on Prospect Hill, which Colonel Clines had owned for several years, he gave by will to be hung in the old High School building. This building is now the City Hall, and was the scene of Colonel Clines’ activities during his three terms as Mayor of the city. v r v 'l'he composite story. “Joe’s Reward.” was writ- ten by 1!)l!J-A-English Ci.

He is himself an able musician, and with the sup- port of his hard-working followers is turning out excellent results. The Somerville High School has had the best orchestra among the Greater Boston High Schools for a number of years. And we are going to continue that standing on a better scale, even, if that were possible, this year. The orchestra played at the first Parent-Teach- ers’ Association meeting in our auditorium Fri- day night, February 16. • , r r Spring, spring, the beautiful spring, will soon be here. The would-be poets and artists will bring to light their pads and sketch-books; the mothers and wives will start their annual spring cleaning; the men will beat rugs and carpets and wash win- dows; but—what ought we to be doing? Here’s the answer: • We must think of our baseball team and of the championship we arc to win shortly. Far be it from us to be over-confident, but since we cer- tainly arc going to get that championship, what harm lies in saying it? Be thinking this over, everybody, and all who can play baseball at all—go out for the team. As for the great majority who shun the limelight of the diamond, begin saving your money for the season ticket, which will be issued by the Athletic Association. With a school the size of ours, at least one hun- dred fellows should report for the team. Coach Dickcrman will doubtless take care of all that re- port. The more the merrier, fellows. Come out, and surprise yourself by making the team, t � re With the coming of spring, tennis naturally comes to our minds, also. Tennis isn't spoken about as much among the boys of this school as it might be. or. in fact, as it ought to be. It seems to be regarded by many as rather effeminate.—as a game set apart for girls. This opinion, of course, is due to their ignorance of the game. The more you play tennis and learn to apnreciate its fine points, the more your interest and genuine lik- ing for the game will grow. Tennis is a game that one cannot learn in a minute, or even begin to learn. It’s a strictly scientific game, and requires steady nerves, a cool head, and an accurate hand, it is to be hoped that a great manv will come out for the tennis team next month. The girls’ tennis team always thrives well and is well supported, so i' is not necessary to urge the girls particularly to come out. r � The Paient-Tcachers’ Association held its first meeting Friday.

The Boys’ Glee Club also sang, and an orches- tra furnished music for dancing after refresh- ments were served. ----o--- The Girls’ Glee Club was organized February 9, 191L and elected the following officers: Wilda Chipman. leader; Evelyn Parker, secretary; Clarice Hamlin and Marjorie Stevens, coun- selors. It is earnestly hoped that the whole school will co-operate in making the Girls’ Glee Club a suc- cess. 11$ SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1917-B Editor, Dorothea Shay. Assistant Editor, Thomas A. Wallace. Room 215 has contributed a number of notes this month. Why not every month? Two brothers: Pete and Repete (repeat). Two sisters: Kate and Duplikate (duplicate). Did this ever happen to you? Ed.: “Got any notes for me?” Student: “No, I can’t think of any. (Later, when Radiator appears): “Why don’t you put in something about me once in a while?” John Fogarty represents 222 on the hockey squad. “How did you do last night’s mathematics?” “By inspection.” “Gee. I didn't have time to inspect mine.” “Is it easy to close this lock?” “Yes, it’s a snap.” I f there’s anything that saddens me. Or puts me out of sorts. It’s to sec a big, strong athlete Who is down in his reports. Heard in IV English I :— Teacher: “For tomorrow learn twenty-five lines from ‘Macbeth. ” Wcl-----n: “Hail! Mail! Hail! There, I have three learned.” UNCOMPLIMENTARY. Mr. Flatbush: “Did you hear my wife sing last night ?” Mr. Bensonhurst: “Yes, I couldn’t get my win- dow shut.” IT WILL. “Do you think that the automobile will displace the horse?” asked the young woman. “It will.” answered the nervous young man. as he gazed down the road, “if it ever hits him.” Stranger: “A room with a bath, please!” Clerk (country hotel): “Jim. put a sponge in room 17.” WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? Teacher: “Now, if I paid one man $2 a day for seven days, another $5.50 for ten days, an- other $1.4 5 for six days—” Reddy Backiow (whose father belongs to the union): “You’d have a strike on your hands,, teacher.” OUR NEW QUESTION BOX. Sir: “Has the ocean ever shown any signs of drying up? —Oscar. Answer: “Records show that the ocean has al- ways been wet, Oscar.” Sir: On what day did March 31, 1817, fall?” —Lucy.

My apartment is cold all the time.” Answer: “Try hitting him on the jaw with a baseball bat.” In German:— “Vo denk ich an mein femes Licb.” Miss St----r----: “So I think of my first love.” Note: We wonder, Mildred, who you were thinking of. The girls of 201 and 202 appreciate Miss Cloves’ leadership of the physical exercises, but regret the loss of Miss Brine’s leadership. Miss At—o—d tried her best to give us a good meaning for “litter,” but surprisingly failed. Girls: Arc you supporting the Girls’ Glee Club? If not. come out and help us beat the Boys’ Glee Club. “Tell me something about George Washington.” Pupil: “He never whispered in school.” Teacher: Well. well, something more for George.” Margaret, aged four, was taken by her mother to visit the public school in which an older sister was a pupil. Seeing a garden close by. in which a number of beets, cabbages, etc., were growing, she ran to the fence and peered tlirough. Turn- ing to her mother she asked: “Is this the kinder- garten ?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 119 Little Tommy came home after his first day at •school, and was asked what he had learned. “Well,” said he. “I didn’t learn anything. A woman asked me how to spell cat, and I told her. Uncle Zeb.” said a young man. “they tell me that you remember seeing George Washington. Is that right? o. it ain’t. said Uncle Zeb. “F lister 'member seein’ him. blit that wuz before ‘hit the trail.’ ” “Come, kiss mother, sonny.” “No. I hasn’t but one tiss 'eft. and I want to save it for seed.” Smile and the world smiles with you. So all the wise ones say. And if you don’t believe them. Try it yourself today. “You haven’t forgotten us. have you. waiter?” “Oh, no, sir. You arc the two fried smelts.” Elsie recently made her first visit to the city to see her grandmother, who lives in a flat.

Three months to Graduation! Gilman, in Physical Training: “Forward, lunching exercise.” (Lead on. Ernie.) farewell to the time-worn cry: “The East building is shirking !” As far as the Senior column is concerned the East building is not shirking. Heard in Music: “The girls ought to know whether they are altos or basses.” Forbes is our best elocutionist, but Miss Cam- eron is a close second. An observant roommate hands in the following: How to Distinguish the Girls of 222:— Miss Bachelder, by her “crimps. Miss Baker, by her law recitations. Miss Coakley, by her chronic tardiness. Miss Delaney, by her complexion. Miss Donovan, by her smile. Miss Moore, by her lunches (in History). Miss Reardon, by her new coat. Miss Rondina, bv her tortoise shells. Miss Welch, by her “nerve.” Miss Howard (who is now taking United States History): Yes. I believe Mr. Carrier has given us references to Macaulay’s History. “Strange. Florence, to give us an English His- tory reference for a United States History class. According to Miss McWilliams—Men and colds are alike.

Heard in the Auto Show:— Rob—rtson, talking to salesman : “What pro- vision do you make for the ‘brakes’ on this car?” S: “Well, we have two service stations.” Rob.: “No! (Slightly aggravated) What do you do for ‘brakes’?” S: “Oh. we guarantee the rear frame for a year.” Rob.: No! No! No! How do you stop the thing?” 1918-A certainly made a good showing by hav- ing the following “S” men on the eleven: Keat- ing. Conlon. Young, Sullivan, and Shea. It is hoped that the class will also be well represented during the coming baseball season. Come on, fel- lows! Put your shoulders to the wheel and boost.

Dadm—n: “You remind me of Wool worth’s live and ten cent store.” Pr—t: “I don’t get you.” Dadm—n: “Nothing over ten cents.” The new set of gymnastics may build up health, but it does seem that it would break down ceilings. The difference between poetry and prose:— Poetical: Her curly locks hung around her temples like a golden fleece. Prosaic: She was red headed. The class of M7-B has granted, to those of our class who are so fortunate as to graduate this June, the privilege of having their pictures in the Year Hook. Support the book! Get in your sub- scriptions and help make this new idea a success. Heard in Chemistry:— Teacher: “What two kinds of matter are there ?” Pupil: “Living and dead.” We wonder why Ke—ting looked at his soli- taire when Mr. Coleman was talking about smug- gling diamonds. High School girls out snowshoeing, on reach- ing tlie top of a hill:— “Close the doors, please, I feel a draught.” (Force of habit.) Seen on the blackboard:— The house on the hill sat on the flowers.” Heard at Students’ Council dance:— Girl: “You remind me so much of Whitman’s poems.” Boy: “Why?” Girl: “Always something the matter with the feet.” The Class of 1918-A extends congratulations to Fred Bryant for his speedy recovery, and re- joices at his return. Freshman: “I saw a man yesterday who said lie would like to kick you.” Senior (indignantly): “Who was it?” Freshman: “A soldier in the hospital with both legs cut oflf.” 1918-B Editor. Chester Moore.

WHAT “JUNIOR” MEANS “J” stands for “joy,” that we ought to bestow On all those around us. wherever we go. “U” stands for “union”: We should ever be true To our teacher and class in whatever we do. “N” stands for “now”: We should never say, “Tomorrow we’ll do it”; we should do it today. “I stands for “interest.” the pleasure that lies In things that we do from the time that we rise. “O” stands for “order.” without which we’d be Constantly troubled, completely at sea. “R” stands for “right”; it’s the standard to raise, For which we should strive till the end of our days. —A.

Miss Brown: “In boys’ rooms, books arc very apt to wander.” Go—in: “Now, who are you accusing?” Miss Brown: “No one, I’m sure, except the books.” Our class inventor, Br—tt. has made a wonder- ful new discovery, which he calls the Burnsen Bunner. He says Hot Cross buns are his specialty, so send in your orders early for Good Friday. At the last entertainment of the English Club SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 121 A little hoy came to the door, and poked his head within; The ticket-taker bent towards him: “No babes allowed within!” But soon the big boy gasped and stared, and of the door took hold,— For Mvron had shown his ticket, and was a [unior bold! The class of 1919-A have at last obtained recog- nition buttons. They are round, with a blue dia- mond. bearing the numerals “IDA,” on a white licld. Should any more of the class members de- sire these buttons, let them confer with their proc- tors immediately. 1919-A was well represented on the platform last month by Harold Coyne and Herbert Treat when the football men were awarded the sou- venir gold footballs. Ida P—y wants to know how to spell “halo.” If anyone doubts that boys are smarter than girls let him (or her) drop around to 305. Out of six on the honor list, only one is a girl. Historv Teacher: “What do you know about the age of Elizabeth. Mr. McB—h?” McB—h (dreamily): “She’ll be seventeen her next birthday.” First Junior: “Did you get a bad report at New Year’s? Second Junior: Worse! I got an explosion.” Heard at Wellington trap grounds:— Novice: “Is this gun working?” Veteran: “No, it’s been discharged.” Since Br—n has gone to work he is uncertain whether to call himself a laboring son of toil, or a toiling son of labor. The boys of Division B should all make the cross-country team next fall. Inside of very few minutes they have to travel from 1 26, to 303, to 326, and then to 106, which is quite a Marathon. Br—tt—: “Then I lit my Burnsen bunner.” E—y—: “I’ve got a date this afternoon.” Chorus: “Who is she?” E—y—: “Don’t get excited; it’s only with the dentist.” Suggestions for a masquerade ball:— As a dentifrice—Wear a smile, and carry a toothbrush.

The way some Freshmen took Mr. Avery’s talk- on February 19 is like the girl who, during a lec- ture about slang, turned to the girl beside her and said: “Ain’t it swell?” Sub. Fresh.: “Only fools arc positive.” V----1: “Arc you sure of it?” Sub. Fresh.: “Ves, positively.” We know there are good singers in the class. Why not join the glee club?

Use today by criticising this num- ber of the Radiator and sending a copy of your magazine or paper to the Exchange Editor. Among our new exchanges this month are the Nautilus and the Quill. Roth these school maga- zines have good stories and are well managed. They certainly are a good addition to our exchange list. The Argus. The Crescent. The Megaphone, and Student Rays would be much improved if a front- ispiece were added. Blair Hall Breeze—Your cuts arc very unique. The ghost story “Doomed” was very good because of the unusual ending. The Blue and Gold—The accounts of the grad- uation exercises were very interesting, but did these accounts take up so much room that the ex- change department was crowded out? The Blue Owl—-Everyone ought to read “What Central Thinks of the Human Race.” It was very amusing. The Cambridge Review—Although the price of paper has gone up, your magazine is not at all improved by using two kinds of paper. The Highlander—Can’t you arrange your ex- changes alphabetically? It would improve your paper a great deal. The Item—You have a good number of inter- esting stories, but it would he more systematic to print them in one part of the magazine instead of using them to fill up. Oak Leaves—We hope that your exchange list will grow larger, for you have a flourishing maga- zine. The Tamarack—The Latin, German. French, and Spanish departments are fine features.

All the professional teams arc now in the South preparing for the coming base- ball season. Somerville is by no means lying back, for while the snow was nearly a foot deep the battery candidates were at the armory speed- ing them over the pan. while the veterans of last year's team are getting limbered up, having a game i catch here and there. Captain Deacon has hopes of a winning nine this spring, for a number of last year’s team are with him this year. Yuaka Kellcher and Tom- my McGrath are both veteran mount artists, while Xed Keating and Cupid Conlon have both had a great deal of experience on the receiving line. “Clfarlie” Deacon, if needed, can catch, but is also efficient at second or third base. “Bud” Shea and Kelly have handled the third sack and first base, respectively. In the outfield “Bill” Bigley and Ernie Gilman were with last year’s squad and arc expected to distinguish themselves and the team the coming season. As yet there has been very little promising new material, but when a general call is issued it is expected that plenty of stock will be found. SWIMMING TEAM A swimming team has been formed recently by Brooks Pease and Melvin Stephens and one meet has already taken place with Rindge. Engle of Somerville scored eleven out of thirteen points for the Red and Blue, while Phillips was Rindge’s strong man. The final score was 10 to 13. T he score of this game should not be taken into consideration, however, for some of Somerville’s most able swimmers have not yet reported for practice. Among those who arc working in the squad arc Engle. Pease. Stephens. Mackay, Paaschc. Blaisdell. Tom Thornton of the Ocean Pier Life Saving Crew is expected to report soon, and with him in the dashes and “Bill” Mackay in the plunges Som- erville should have a very promising team. EVERY ATHLETIC GROUP WILL HAVE ITS PICTURE IN THE ! YEAR BOOK ! SOMERVILLE-ARLINGTON In a nip-and-tuck game between Somerville and Arlington, at the Arena, Somerville was beaten by the score of 1 to 2. The game was one of Somerville’s best, and their method of attack so bewildered the Spv- ponders that they were completely carried off their feet for a time. Arlington’s individual players were much faster than those of Somerville, although Jost and Rev- croft. who usually star for Arlington, were well covered and did not get a chance to do any sen- sational playing. Jimmy Downing outskated Reycroft and was far superior to his Arlington rival in the handling of his stick. Still, by better team work. Arlington came through the winner.

Gilman went out to meet a rush and was knocked down, so that Sands was able to 126 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATGR snap the puck into tlic unguarded net for a 3 to 2 win. As a result Somerville wins undisputed title to the cellar championship. It was a tough game for Somerville to lose. Cambridge scored two goals in the first period, one of which was very questionable, and then Young Jim” got going and played rings around the whole Cambridge team, only to have all his work go to nothing.

Eve, and the crimson clouds pall. Dusk, and stars arc shining, Tenderly over all. And to the sight a light appears, A flickering shade of gold, Feeble at first, but gath’ring in strength, Till its clear beam we behold. So through the night its beacon light Proclaims to those on the sea, To those afar, to those near by, “Sec, I am waiting for thee.” On clear, calm days, when o’er the bay The ripples idly play. The Lighthouse stands, a turret high, Its shadow flung across the sky. Its guiding hand outstretched to those Returning from o’er the sea, And it says to them with a merry laugh, “Come on—I am waiting for thee.” On stormy days, when the wind doth blow And white caps rear their heads. The Lighthouse, now a friend in need, Proclaims to all which way to lead. “Keep to the right—the rocks arc here,” “Watch for the ragged ledges near.” And ever it safely guides the craft, 'Fill calmly at anchor in its harbor it rides, Safe from its battle with the tide. So are our years like a Journey, The Sea is the sea of Life, And the Lighthouse is our Guardian, To keep us from Sorrow and Strife.

No wonder the foreigners call ours a lawless tongue:— We'll begin with a box. and the plural is boxes; But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. Then one fowl is a goose, but two arc called geese; Yet the plural of mouse should never be mccsc. You may lind a lone mouse or a whole nest ot mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hicc. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen? If 1 speak of a foot and you show me your feet. And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet ? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth. W hy shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth ? Then one may be that and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose; And the plural of cat is cats, and not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he. his and him; But imagine the feminine she. shis and shim!

HINKLEY, ’19-B CHAPTER I. AT THE STROKE OF TWELVE. HE grandfathers clock on the bal- cony of the sitting room at Mal- lingsford Villa chimed the hour of midnight—the hour of witchery— the hour of all that is supernatural. The full moon beamed gloriously through the large French window, filling the room with a radiance as bright as day. At the front door of this ancient but beautiful mansion, the owner. Geoffrey Mallingsford, was fitting his master key into the lock; turning the knob he r.pened the door and hastily walked into the sit- ting room. A cloud had suddenly passed over the moon and now only a slight ray fell on the floor. Mallingsford crossed the room, laid his cane and silk hat on the table, and was preparing to as- cend the stairs when lie suddenly halted, the perspiration mounted to his temples, his hands clenched. There, directly across the room front bin. through the apparently impenetrable wall, a brawny arm protruded. The hand, large and sinewy, groped about as if t clutch something. Geoffrey Mallingsford was no coward, but this spectacular mystery at so astonishing an hour and in so astonishing a place, thoroughly awed him. He groped at the table, and as lie did so his cane fell to the floor with a crash. As if sonic worldly happening had frightened a supernatural being, the arm vanished! With a mad rush Geoffrey crossed the room, turned on the light, and passed his hand over the wall where the arm had been seen. Xo crack or any hollowness could be detected in the wood-work, and passing his hand over his eyes as if in a dream, Mr. Mal- lingsford sank into a chair and began thinking deeply. As he sat there, had any one been near, lie could not help noticing his appearance. He was large of stature, very nearly six feet in height, and extremely broad shouldered. His hair was touched with gray at the temples and his face was careworn, but honest and sincere. Mallingsford’s friends gossiped among them- selves that he was not happy in his home with his society-loving wife. Janice, and his haughty daughter. Miriett. Therefore, the following morning when Geoffrey came down to the break- fast table looking even more tired than usual, no comment was made by either Miriett or Janice. Mallingsford was a banker and spent this day as usual in his office: evening found him at home once more, but with a burning fever. Dawson, the butler, whom Mr. Mallingsford always treated kindly, waited on him continually. It was one o'clock that night when, from his bedside. Mai- ling-ford rang the bell summoning the butler to him. ■‘Dawson.” said he. I’m feeling pretty bad. I'm afraid you had better call up Doctor Merill. Very good, sir,” replied Dawson, and hurried down to the sitting room, lie had raised the telephone and was about to take down the re- ceiver when, gazing across the room, he was con- fronted by the same spectacle which Mr. Mallingsford had seen the previous night— the brawny arm thrust itself through the wall and the hand was waving madly about in the air. Without a minute’s hesitation the horrified butler dropped the ’phone, and with a wild leap dashed up the stairs to his employer’s room. Mallingsford saw the wild expression and almost immediately comprehended its meaning. Dawson. he gasped, did you see it. too? Yes. sir—that is—sir.” Yes! yes! cried Geoffrey, “get my dressing g wn. I am going down!” “Oh. no. sir! It would be dangerous to your health, sir! replied Dawson. But without waiting for more words he was out of bed and descending the stairs to the sit- ting room. Cautiously he crept down and there again he saw the mysterious arm. Dawson, however, who was utterly terrified, had remained upstairs waiting to be called if necessary. Geoffrey Mallingsford groped his way over to the wall, when suddenly the room became dark, a dull buzzing sound rang in his ears, and he fell to the floor as a scream of terror rang through the house. CHAPTER If. INTRODUCING DETECTIVE BURLEY. When Mallingsford came to after fainting, he was pillowed on the lounge in the sitting room, his wife. Janice, sitting opposite gazing at him. After several minutes had elapsed he said: Janice, go to the 'phone and call Detective Burlev at Yorkshire, and bid him come here at once! But Geoffrey----.” “Obey me. Janice! At once! I will have no more suspense. This matter must be cleared up immediately. Mrs. Mallingsford knew her husband meant what he said, but she herself was inclined to think the matter very impossible and absurd. SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR � 3J However, she obeyed and very soon was con- versin’ ; with Mr. Hurley, who promised to come to the Villa at once. An hour passed. Mr. Mallingsford was eagerly waiting the detective’s arrival when a limousine stopped before the house and Mr. Hurley was ushered into the sitting room. The two men greeted each other, and at once began business. Tell me first, Mr. Mallingsford. how old this house is, how long you have lived here and something about the house.” Mallingsford Villa.” began Geoffrey, was built by my father many years ago. Me took es- pecial pride in the place and made it by far the most elaborate place in the vicinity. Father (bed three years ago, and since, I have had sev- eral rooms, this one in particular, remodeled. The rest of the place, as you sec it now, is just as father left it.” Mr. Burley had been listening attentively and now it seemed as if a smile flickered about his lips. What, if I may ask, is on the other side of the wall?” “W by, there is a very thick plaster through there, my friend, and then comes the kitchen. May i investigate the outside of the villa, sir?” asked the detective. . “Certainly, Mr. Burley. Do anything.” Together the men went out. The house was beautiful in structure. On one side ivy climbed gracefully up to the first windows, and rambling roses took up the course there and climbed to the top. After five minutes’ survey of the sur- roundings the detective took a small book from his pocket and wrote down several items. Turning to Mr. Mallingsford he said: “Tomor- row you will probably be at work. Give me the privilege of doing a little investigating alone. I think we shall have little difficulty, Mallingsford. in finding your ‘Midnight Arm’ mystery in a few days.” The banker consented to anything and dismissed the detective. The following day Mr. Mallingsford was able to go back to his office, and early in the after- noon Mr. Burley arrived at the villa to com- mence his work. Mis investigations would have meant nothing to an onlooker, not acquainted with such work, but apparently they were gratifying to him, for occasionally he would rub his hands together with a triumphant smile on his face. That night Mr. Burley determined to watch for himself, and at twelve o’clock he was sit- ting on the couch in a secluded part of the room, waiting. This night, contrary to the beautiful full moon which gazed in the window when the arm had first been seen, a fearful tempest raged. An hour passed—one—boomed the great clock. Another eternity—two clanged through the room. The tempest still raged on. Suddenly a slight noise, Burley was alert in an instant. A crash of thunder, then a flash of lightning which re- vealed the arm—not white this time—but red now. with blood. It groped about as before and several drops of blood fell on the floor. The per- spiration mounted to the detective’s brow, but he remained silent. In a few minutes the arm disappeared and ail was quiet. The storm had calmed and the clouds were rolling over, and the coming dawn found Mr. Burley asleep in his chair, perhaps dreaming, as he slept, of a solution to “What the Moon Saw.” CHAPTER III. THE CONFESSION. The afternoon following his midnight experi- ence. Mr. Burley visited Air. Mallingsford in the latter’s office, and told him that he thought there would be a few more hours suspense—and then! Evening came, and grew old. The clock on the balcony chimed twelve; Mr. Burley again was at the villa. With stealthy steps he crossed the lawn and approached the eastern side. Hiding; in a secluded niche, he waited. Five—ten—fif- teen minutes passed without event. Then, sud- denly a slight rustle could be heard over the grass. Mr. Burley quickly passed his hand into his hip pocket and drew out a shining automatic. N w a dark silhouette approached! The detec- tive could now see that the figure was a man. a feeble, old man. Approaching the house he passed lvis hand through the ivy. and a minute later opened a low door in the side and entered. Mr. Burley followed, his revolver cocked, and entered the small door. When inside he gazed around lnm and found himself in a narrow pas- sage. the sides of which were of crude plaster. 'I he detective took a small flashlight from his pocket and held it in front of him. There, in the dim light he saw the man who had entered be- fore him, his hands clasped in front of him, ap- parently terrified at the light. “Hands up.” cried Mr. Burley, “no loitering!” The man obeyed and his feeble old arms were raised above bis head. “Now we will just move out of this little place and have a little conversation, sir.” said the de- tective. and together they went out into the night. Now for the first time the old man spoke:— “Please, sir. let me explain. Do not take me to the lockup, sir.” he cried with a catch in his voice. Detective Burley not being cold-hearted, had sympathy for his old age, and led him up the steps of Mallingsford Villa, and into the sitting room. Evidently their entrance had awakened 134 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Mabingsford. himself, for in a few minutes he hurried down and confronted the captor and cap- tive. “What has happened. Hurley—why. Markstcr - Avha� are you doing here?” lie cried. “Do you know tins man?” asked the detective. “Certainly!” replied Mr. Mallingsford, “he is my gardener: hut why are you here?” “Veil,” answered Burley, “if I am not mis- take:.. we have the man here who can solve our mystery. What say you. Markstcr?” Ye yes. sir. Let me tell all. My story be- gin.- away back in the old days when James Mai- lings ford lived here. lie. you know, sir, was the father of my honorable master. I was his gar- dener and I was young then, sir! The villa was a beautiful place, and as ! was alone in the world my kind master give me a room in his house to li'-e in. It was small and right off the kitchen, but it served me ‘first rate One day as 1 was working on a flower bed on the eastern side of the house, I discovered a hole in the wood. I in- vestigated and found that between the room which I occupied and ‘.lie sitting room there was a large passageway, or opening. I confess I was foolish in my youth, and rather liked the idea that no one but myself knew about this ‘secret room.’ as 1 called it. so I constructed a small door there, planted ivy at the bottom and soon had a very cosy secret chamber. The ivy grew and climbed up higher and higher until the door was covered. Then night after night I would go there, glorying in my mind over my triumph. One evening 1 brought with me a saw and through the plastering 1 cut a small notch. Looking through I saw that there was a cabinet standing there, its back against the notch. Then I cut a iarger hide, large enough to put my hand through, and found that on the back of the cabi- net was a little place—perhaps it could be called a shelf. It was of no use. simply a place to catch the dust, so I determined, sir. to make use of it. “Going to mv room. I took the money which T had saved, placed it in a small bag, returned to my ‘secret’ and put my treasure on the cabinet shelf. Every night after that I went there, look- ing after my mon°y; and knowing it was safe. 1 was happy indeed. “Then, sir. my master died and his son took up abode here. Fortune betrayed me and I was taken t ick, but before anything could happen I went to my hidden chamber, made a slide which m the exterior would be invisible and placed it over the notch hole. I then came back to my room and for many days after lay in a stupor. Upon gaining my health 1 found to my horror that mv new master had had the sitting room remodeled. Perhaps my secret had been discov- ered! That night I rushed frantically to the passage- -it was about twelve o’clock, sir— opened the slide and passed my arm through, when I found that the cabinet had been removed. I groped about with mv arm. thinking it might hi somewhere around. Nothing, however, was near, so disconsolate 1 returned to my room. The next night at a later hour 1 returned, did the same thing, hut ill in vain. My hopes were still high, and last night I again came; passing un- arm through the wall 1 tore it on the rough plastering and it bled frightfully, so I quickly withdrew it and hurried hack. You know the rest. sir. you caught me tonight—and—now I’m through.” “Well. Mallingsford.” said Burley, “what arc you going to do about it?” For a moment Geoffrey Mallingsford gazed at the trembling man. then burst into a hearty laugh. “Markstcr,” he replied, “you have given us our thrill. We are idiots and you the only quick- witted one here—so, well—I am going to give, you something you never thought you’d have, sir! I’il be lack in a moment, Burley.” Mallingsford returned in a few minutes and approached Marketer. Holding up a dirty brown bag. he said:— Mr. James Markstcr. allow me to present to you a present which was found when the cabinet was removed. We have often wondered how it came there, but I am glad to find the owner.” Tears glistened in the old man’s eyes, as he re- ceived his lost treasure, and as Mallingsford dis- missed him. with “Good-night, old chap!” all he could answer was: “Yes, sir. thank you, sir!” ♦ Burley’s services were rewarded, and many a hearty laugh was spent over the “Midnight Arm Mystery” that “the Moon Saw.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 Captain Kidd’s Gold J. A. ELOISE MANTHORNE, ’20-A ship glided silently over the still waters of the southern Pacific ocean. The night was warm, only a soft breeze Idling her sails. A moon, that was slowly waning, lit up the water for a short distance around. All was calm, within the ship and with- out. Hut suddenly the lookout cried: “Sail ho! and in an instant the crew were hurrying on deck. Mechanically the men assumed their proper places and awaited orders. These were soon forthcoming—“Change your course and tack for her. the captain called. This was done. The two ships were rapidly drawing together, and. when only about a mile apart, the captain spoke again: “Hoist the flag” and the dread flag o: the skull and crossbones was run up. It was loo late now for the victim to turn and Captain Kidd and his pirates were soon on board. Now no efforts on the part of the sailors could save the rich stores of the merchantman from the grasp of the greedy pirates. When all of any value was taken they left the boat to drift, hav- ing previously disposed of the sailors. Once more on board. Captain Kidd said: “Shape your course due south. and the boat moved on again. Some days’ sailing brought them to the Strait of Magellan and. as it was the calm sea- son. they passed through with very little diffi- culty. Then better time was made, for the wind was with them, and in about five weeks the ship was sailing within sight of the coast of what is now Long Island. A few days more brought them to their destination. Carefully the ship was guided under the shelter of some overhang- ing rocks to wait for darkness. When all was still the captain and mate dropped into the small boat which was drawn alongside and quickly rowed to land. They walked for about a mile down the shore and then back from the water for about 300 feet. Then in a secret spot which no one had ever found, they commenced to dig. An hour’s labor brought them their reward. They had struck something hard: the sand was brushed away and the boxes, containing Captain Kidd’s last booty, were laid beside a group of similar cases. This done, they commenced to recover the boxes. Then back to the ship they rowed, jubilant over their successful night. The men were allowed to go to their bunks whiie the captain and mate laid further plans of procedure. During the conversation the captain put his hand to his hip, then gave a start of dis- may—“I've lost my pistol,” he cried, then added, “It must have dropped when 1 leaned over the hole.” If that is the case.” replied the mate, it is now covered, deep under the sand.’’ And what’s more,” said Captain Kidd, it may lie there until 1 go hack with another box of gold.” Hut, poor captain, he was destined never to re- turn to that lonely spot. Many years passed until 1ST 7, and we will con- tinue our narrative from that date. “Well, Dick, let’s be off, we have no short dis- tance to go and we should have gone half an hour ago.” I know, but it’s a wonder I could come at all and half an hour more or less won’t spoil our fun. Have you the spades?” Yes. but 1 don’t think we’ll get much. 1 say we’re going to the wrong place.” Well, we’re just new here, you can’t expect t«� know where to find clams right off. can you? We’il go to Sandy Point today and some other day try another place.” P ssibly some explanation is needed just here, so. while the boys arc walking to Sandy Point, we will enlighten the reader. Richard Raymond and Jack Gcraldson. with their parents, were spending the summer at the seashore at a quiet place known by a few fam- ilies. Richard, or Dick, and Jack were great chums and on this particular day were out for clams. They walked for about a mile and a half to Sandy Point. There they commenced digging for the clams. After working in silence for a few minutes,. Dick said: “Say. Jack, you walk back from where we are for about 200 feet. Then dig down into- the ground, for it will be earth that far back. I'll dig for clams for about half an hour, then trade off with you and see how deep a hole we can get made.” “Agreed,” replied Jack, and off he went. They dug in silence for some time, Dick being re- warded by finding a few dams, until their appe- tite told them it was time to eat their lunch. When this was done Jack set to work for clams and Dick took his place in the hole. At the end of twenty-five minutes’ quiet work. Jack called out: “Oh, say, I’ve struck a lot of them. W ell have a fine feast.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 136 J )ick grunted for answer, then cried: “Oh, Jack. I believe I’ve got a clam out here.” “Nonsense.” his chum replied, “clams don’t go so far from the water.” “W ell, come and see anyway.” said Dick. The work' of a minute or so disclosed a piece of wood. “Pshaw, it is just a stick of wood.” said Jack, hut Dick with a tug pulled it out and saw what startled both the boys, for. on drawing it nearer the surface, they found it to be a pistol of curious and outlandish fashion, which, from its rusted condition and its stock being worm-eaten, appeared t« have lain a long time in the ground. The hoys gave vent to their feelings in long drawn “Ohs.” then suddenly Dick commenced to dig more quickly. Earth flew in all directions. Never had he dug so rapidly. Jack stood watch- ing him in mute amazement. Then Dick’s spade struck something resistant. How he worked. He dug. his speed growing every moment. Then—a flat black board came to view. He lifted this and saw dimly some objects beneath it. He pulled one out, drew it to the light and tried to open it. but it was locked. Dropping it he jumped into the hole again and drew forth half a dozen similar boxes, but all were locked. Quickly he laded himself and his chum with them and ran home as if pursued. Almost breathless, he asked his father to open them, then gasped one word, “Gold!” The boxes, when opened, disclosed to the view of the onlookers gold, rubies, pearls, diamonds and precious stones such as grace the crowns and sceptres of kings. “My son,” said Dick’s father, “you have found that which many men arc looking for and have looked for from Florida to Nova Scotia,—Cap- tain Kidd’s gold.” ------------------ The Wrong Road [A Composite Story] RUTH HANNA. DORIS TAYLOR, FRANCES GREENE, GERTRUDE WILTON 11-A ENGLISH E At noon they stopped to eat their luncheon. As they had now entered some rather thick HARLES and Harold were spending their vacation in a small village in New Hampshire. They were both having a glorious time, fishing, swimming, taking long trips in the woods nearby and enjoying all the other different sports that a boy likes. One particularly pleasant day they decided to walk into the next village, where one of their friends lived. It would take them the greater part of the day and then they could have the pleasure of staying all night with their friend. They started out with plenty of luncheon, de- termined to enjoy the best trip of the summer. There was never a more beautiful day than this one, and the boys walked along silently cn- joving the lovely scenery. Finally Harold broke the silence, asking: “What time do you suppose we shall arrive there?” “Not until quite late.” answered Charles. “Do you suppose Henry will be surprised?” “Very likely,” replied Harold, “as he hasn’t seen us for almost a year.” They talked on in this strain until they reached a cros- road. One road led into the deep woods and the other led directly to the village where they intended to go. They looked at each other for a moment in dismay, for they had forgotten which road t take. Rut suddenly Harold’s face cleared as he said: “Why. don’t you remember? I am sure that the last time we came we took the right-hand road.” Although Charles was a trifle doubtful he took his brother’s word for it iind they continued their journey. woods, Harold was not quite so sure that they h id taken the right road as he had been before. However, i: would not let Charles see that he was worrying, and after eating their lunch, they continued on their way in silence. They had walked on hardly ten minutes when they sud- denly came upon a large clearing in the woods. In this clearing were scattered five or six tents, which they knew at once to be a gypsy camp. When the two hoys saw the gypsy camp they were very much surprised. “Do you think they will harm us?” asked Charles. “No.” answered Harold. “I don’t think they’ll do anything to us. because they know we would tell the police. Anyway we’re safe while we're together. I’d be afraid alone, though,” he added, thoughtfully. They wandered around the camp, but could see no one. The place seemed deserted. “I think they arc off on a hunt,” declared Charles. “No,” said Harold. “See the smoke over there behind the bushes? They’re eating their supper. Let’s go over.” The boys walked over and asked one of the men. who appeared to be the chief of the gypsies, if they might sleep there during the night. He consented very readily, and invited them to join in the evening meal. SOM KRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR � 37 When the boys awoke in the morning the camp was very still, and the men all appeared to be unusually solemn. After they had given the boys their breakfast they summoned them before the chief. hat was in store for them ? They could only tremble and wonder. It happened that one of the gypsies had been in the city and had seen a reward of $100 offered t the person who captured two boys who had committed a crime. The description did not ex- actly lit Harold and Charles, but the gypsies were sure they were the culprits. “Boys do not very often beg to stay over night iti our camp ' said the chief, with a know- ing and derisive smile, “unless they arc running away from something.” He then informed the boys why they had been given shelter, and told them they were going t be handed over to the police in the morning. They tied their hands and feet, and in spite of their protest, put them in a wagon that was ready to start for the city. The gypsies put the boys in one of the caravans and soon drove away quickly to the city. The road was very rocky and the ride was far from being pleasant. Very soon they reached the city, and then the police station. When the gypsies entered with the boys and told them that they were the crim- inals. the policeman laughed at the sight of them. “Don’t you know they could never have car- ried out that terrible crime?” he asked the leader of the party, and showed the picture and descrip- tion oi the ones for whom they had been taken. The gypsies looked at it and strode out of the station with great disappointment. The boys stood looking at each other for a moment and then they went out to go home, like two prodigals. “Better keep away from the gypsies!” the offi- cer called after tin m. When they arrived at the house, the boys told of the mistake they had made in taking the wrong road. They sat down to the table and ate the biggest dinner they had ever eaten, as they were very hungry. Well.” said Charles, “1 think that walk will last for a long time.” “Yes.” answered Harold. “But say, it’s a good thing Henry didn’t expect us, isn’t it?” ■ ■ •••-------— ■— The Story of a Pistol EI.EANOR HORRELL, T9-B T was a cold, bleak November morn- ing. Betty Decker and myself were spending the week end on Cape Cod at a large, old-fashioned house owned by Betty’s grandfather, an old and retired sea captain. The scallop season had just opened and the fishermen were preparing to start out to try their luck. Bel tv’s cousin was going and we teased him to take us with them. He had refused, fearing we would be uncomfortable in the cold, but finally he consented, though not very willingly. We were delighted and at once got aboard the boat ready for our first experience in scalloping. We had fairly good success and the time passed quickly. When we were pulling up the last dredge it seemed heavier than usual and someone remarked that our last haul was to be the best one. On draw ing it to the surface we were amazed to find in addition to the scallops a long pistol of very curious and outlandish fashion, which, from its rusted condition and its stock being worm-eaten and covered with barna- cles, appeared to have lain a long time under water. We all examined it closely and found an inscription on the handle, but owing to the fact that it was so rusted we were unable to read it. The pistol interested us greatly and when I of- fered to take it to the house and clean it. they asked me to keep it as a souvenir of the occa- sion. On arriving at the house I immediately went to the captain's den and showed him our find. He took it eagerly, examined it very closely and said: T really believe you have found Stanley Moore's pistol.” I exclaimed: “Oh, please tell me about it.” and this is what he told:— “Long ago, at the time of the Revolutionary War. a man. named Stanley Moore lived on the Cape just above here. After the war broke out he became a noted spy. Being very successful, he was able to give Washington much valuable information with regard to the enemy. Wash- ington trusted him greatly and gave him a most dangerous task. This task- was to carry a paper giving all our military plans to General- Morgan. He knew if they were found it would mean dis- aster for the army. so he rolled up the plans and put them inside his pistol, thinking that w uld be the last place thought of if he was captured. The hay on which you spent the morning was then guarded by the enemy. Moore had to cross this and being an excellent swimmer he decided the easiest way to get across would be to swim. 38 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Tic set out boldly and as he passed the patrol boats iie swam under water. Passing the last one successfully, he raised his head to take his bearings and as he did so a bullet whizzed by his head. This was immediately followed by another which wounded him in the shoulder. Being at their mercy he was obliged to surren- der and was drawn aboard the boat. Recogniz- ing him as a long-sought-for spy they ordered him to pass over his firearms or take the conse- quences. He realized that they must not secure the plans, so stepping backward he flung the pis- tol tar from him into the sea. He was shot at once, but the plans were beyond their reach. The best divers were used but it was of no avail. He had found for them a safe hiding place. As the captain concluded his story, he added that as the years had passed certain supersti- tions had arisen concerning the pistol, the most popular of which was that to its finder it would bring great .prosperity. I was much impressed by this story and we opened the pistol to sec if we couid find the plans. We found a small piece of pulp which was rotted by the many years under water. Betty and I were very proud of our attempt at scalloping and we gave the pistol to the Museum at C ape Cod. The Winning Run EDWARD W. TAYLOR, ’20-A ; I.I:AI ALE High School had won the baseball championship of the Quad- cN ran u1ar League, of Western Massa- ehusetts. for live consecutive years. J !?� b Marline and Ned Burke were the only veterans of this year’s team and therefore the prospects f winning a sixth champion shin did not look very bright. Bob and Ned. although rivals for captain, were very close friends. The athletic committee was composed mainly of members of the faculty and favored Ned be- cause ol his superiority over Bob in his studies. At the meeting of the committee Ned was elected captain of the baseball team. Bob con- gratulated Ned. but without enthusiasm. On the wax home that evening Bob resolved to get re- venge upon the committee by claiming disability to play that season. His heavy hitting and good playing would be sadly missed. A tall freshman took Bob’s place, hut was a very weak hitter and very erratic. Glendale had 1.eaten I'ordham and Milton, hut had lost to Hudson. Hudson had beaten Milton and Glendale, but had lost to I'ordham. These games placed Glendale and Hudson in the posi- tion of tie for first place. It was said that Glen- dale had won iter games by errors made by her opponents, while Hudson had won her games by heavy hitting and good playing. The grounds at Milton were chosen for the deciding game be- cause of the huge seating capacity. On the day of the game, many thousand stu- dents and people from the different towns poured into the field, each body cheering for their re- spective teams. The students of Glendale and Hudson taunted each other and cheered their team as it trotted out upon the field. Bob felt thrill pass through him as he sat on the bench and wished he had been playing, but it was too late for him to ask for his regular position at first base. Hudson won the toss for the first chance at the bat and Glendale's players trotted out upon the field. Varney,‘Hudson’s first base- man. was the first man at the bat and'got two bases on a line drive over the third baseman's head. Finch, the Glendale pitcher, struck out the next two men. but Jarvis, the second baseman, got three bases on a drive into the crowd in left field. Finch went to pieces and before the inning ended three runs had come across the plate for Hudson. For the next seven innings Finch held the Hud- son batsmen to one lone run. while Glendale had received three on errors by Hudson’s fielders, who lost the ball in the rays of the sun. The Hudson batsmen failed to increase the score in their half of the ninth inning, although several times they got men on third base. The first two men at the bat for Glendale struck out and the crowd groaned, but the Glendale cheer leaders led the cheering section in a loud cheer for Glen- dale and this seemed to give courage to the players. Fitzpatrick, the Glendale catcher, knocked tin ball into the crowd and according to ground rules, made before the game, got three bases. At this critical point. Boh pleaded with Ned to let him act as a pinch hitter and after much persuasion was allowed to act as a pinch hitter in place of Finch After having two strikes and three halls called on him, he hit the ball over the right field fence for a home run, scoring the man ahead of him. The next day Bob noted the attention paid him by his friends who hitherto had deserted him and realized the difference of being traitor to his colors and being loyal to the school. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR � 39 The Sophomore Class BY WILLIAM BALDWIN, Sophomore Class President Sophomores! 'This has been our first op- portunity to really show what we can do. and I appreciate the way in which you have will- ingly contributed to make our number of the Radiator the best this year. Let us keep up the good work for the future numbers of our school paper. We may be congratulating ourselves for the good selection of our class pins. In comparing our pins with those of the other classes, one can readily see the superiority of our own. .MORE HONORS FOR THE SOPHOMORES. Not only did we have four of our fellows on the varsity squad of the Somerville High School football team, but the victors of the competitive drill in physical culture were a class of Sopho- more boys. v We arc giad to see so many hard workers out for the varsity team in baseball this year from the Sophomore class. Those of vou who are unable to trv out for the team, show your S. 11. S. spirit by purchas- ing a season ticket from the proctor of your room. Sophomores, show the players and Athletic Association that we are backers all the time. Come to the games; cheer the boys on. and we wiil have sure victory or will show them a sam- ple of “School Spirit.” We wish to extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mr. Arthur Hurd on the loss of his beloved mother. Owing to the fact that so many social activi- ties are taking place this year, our proposed en- tertainment will have to be postponed until next fall. Our star tackle. Albert (Xibber) Roche is on the L S. S. Kearsarge doing patrol duty, ready to defend our “Stars and Stripes.” Let us all wish him the best of luck and hope he will return to old “Somerville High School” in a short while. Harold Long’s Invention ALLAN BUNCE, T9-B A ROLL ) Long was a young man of nineteen. His high school course was completed and he held a prom- ising position in a printer’s estab- lishment. Harold’s hopes had been set upon going to Yale the next this purpose lie was now endeavoring to obtain the necessary money. However, he realized that he could not earn a sufficient sum as a printer. But while working in the printing house. Harold had been inspired by an idea that he thought would be well worth while to work out. He had discovered a new device for a printing press, to be used in a small business. In work- ing out his idea his evenings and spare time had been spent for the last few months and now his invention was nearing completion. When his plans were finished he had decided to take them to a nearby inventor for inspection. At last the fateful day arrived in which was to Ik decided the success or failure of all his work, and also whether or not he would be able to enter college. His young hopes were high and his anx- iety great as he walked into the office of J. A. Warren, the inventor. Would his invention prove a success? A half hour later he came from the office, down- cast and disheartened. Warren had pronounced his efforts worthless. Points had been shown him that Warren declared could not be remedied. I larold had been treated slightingly by Warren, who had appeared to take little interest in his work. Before long, however, determination replaced the expression of discouragement on Harold’s countenance, and he resolved to set to work to eliminate the defects in his project. One evening, about a month later, while reading the paper. Harold glanced at a headline that caused him to start and read hastily the remainder of the item. It was an announcement that J. A. Warren had introduced a valuable invention. A descrip- tion was then given of the machine which Harold recognized as his own improved printing press. The paragraph then stated that negotiations were open for its sale between Warren and L. M. right, a well known manufacturer. Excitement reigned in Harold’s breast. “'Ihe thief!” he cried, scarcely realizing what he said, “he has stolen my invention!” He sat down to consider what step would he most advis- able. Certainly lie was not going to allow Warren to confiscate his idea if he could by any means in his power prevent it. 140 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Harold had been laboring hard during the past month, for he had removed all the faults in his press. He had even gone so far as to patent it. Harold surmised that Warren had not made much improvement on the printing press. “Therefore,” thought Harold. “Mr. W right would probably fa- vor my machine rather than Warren's if mine is better.” Why not go and interview Wright before War- ren had a chance to sell? That’s what he would do. That night Harold planned his course. In the morning he received an excuse from work and boarded a train. An hour later found him on the threshold of L. M. Wright’s office. In answer to his knock a voice bade him enter. 1 le swung the door open. Two men were seated there. One he knew to be Mr. W right. When he glanced at the other bis eyes met those of J. A. Warren. The latter jumped up in astonishment upon see- ing 1 larold. “What are you doing here?” he cried. “I have come to persuade Mr. Wright to pur- chase my invention,” stated Harold coolly. Then addressing the manufacturer lie said: “Mr. Wright, the printing press which Mr. Warren is endeavoring to sell you is my work. After spend- ing five or six months perfecting it I consulted with Air. Warren on my idea to receive some help, nat- urally supposing him honest. He pointed out to me some faults, which, he said, could not lie reme- died-----” “I did nothing of the sort-------” interrupted Warren, and was about to continue when he sud- denly stopped, realizing bis mistake. “S’ou have betrayed yourself. Mr. Wright. I appeal to you. Is that not enough proof? Am I not right in this matter? When lie showed me the faults in my machine I immediately set to work and now I have the finished press ready for sale. Upon reading the paper yesterday 1 discovered what Warren had done. 1 also found out from the description given that my invention is superior to the one he claims as his. Here are the plans.” Mr. Wright took the papers and examined them for a few moments. This done lie looked sternly at Warren. “Have you anything to say for yourself?” lie asked. Warren sat sulkily in his scat and did not an- swer. Mr. Wright turned to Harold. “Young man.” he said, “you have done well. As ou say. your machine is better than Warren’s. I offer you live thousand dollars for it. Will vou take it ?” Would he take it? Harold’s eyes gleamed. “Sir. 1 hardly expected to receive as much as that.” “Well, it’s worth it or I would not have offered it,” answered Mr. W right, dryly. “Warren, this young man has the power to place you in prison for a term of years.” W arren started up. pale and trembling, and seemed about to speak. Before he had a chance, however, Harold said: “No, I will not prosecute him. He can do me no barm now that the invention is sold, and you. also, are safe, since the printing press is fully protected by patents. Besides. I believe Warren will never do this sort of thing again, now that he has seen what comes of it.” Warren rose. “Young man. you are right. Never will I attempt such a scheme again. I ad- mit I have done wrong, and I am exceedingly grateful to you for not giving me any more punish- ment than that which mv conscience already feels. I f ever you have another invention come to me and I will give you advice to the best of «in- ability.” Then Harold left the office. He was very happy, and why shouldn’t he be? A check for five thousand dollars lay in his pocket. 1 larold was extremely thankful that Warren had shown himself a decent man at last, and that he did not have to force him to yield. “For if that had hap- pened.” thought Harold. Warren would have probably tried the same tactics on the next inno- dent person that entered his office seeking advice. Perhaps another might not escape as luckilv as I did.” In May MAKCIA WESTON, T7-B Oh. my heart turns back to England now that Spring has come again! 1 dream of English meadows, daisy strewn, adrip with rain. 1 miss the cuckoo’s mocking call afar across the lea. Oh. my heart turns back with yearning to the land beyond the sea. I’m homesick for the twitter of the merry, build- ing swallow. I long to watch the wood thrush from some blue- bell blossomed hollow.

SUMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «4 r The Hidden Lake W ILLIAM WARDROPE, ’19-B WO bovs, aged sixteen, after graduat- ing from the Milford Grammar School in 11)10, decided to spend their vacation on the border of Swan Lake, camping and fishing, and one bright (lav in July Henry W ilson and Jack Murray arrived at Swan Lake, pitched their camp in a sheltered spot at the foot of a great hill, and started out immedi- ately on a fishing trip. They followed a brook running back inti� the deep woods. At first their luck was very bad; they succeeded only in get- ting one or two small trout, but they traveled on for about three miles to a spot where the brook seemed to run right into the side of the mountain. The opening was large and they could see dayiight through it. The day being far ad- vanced. they decided to return the next day and explore this wonderful freak of nature. This they did. and finding it was impossible to climb the sides of the mountain, they made up their minds that they must venture within this won- derful tunnel. They fell to work with a will, and by noon time had completed a raft. Henry suggested eating their lunch before launching their craft, a suggestion acted upon hastily but none the less eagerly. Then they started their raft through the tunnel. After about a quarter of a mile of clear sailing they came out into a beautiful lake, with wide sloping shores covered with pure white sand, a most wonderful sight! They spent a short time lost in the admiration of this won- derful sheet of water, and then Jack suggested trying their luck fishing. They pushed their raft a short distance from shore, and the moment their lines touched the water each hooked a great black bass, weighing about ten pounds. In a very short time they had all the fish they cared for. and thinking it was time for them to return to camp attempted to return by the opening through the mountain, but found the current too swift to sail their unwieldy craft through. Discouraged, they made up their minds that they would get out somehow. They started round the shores, one going each way, looking for some other means of exit from this hidden lake. I hey found its sides surrounded with high mountains, too steep to climb. Meeting at the extreme lower end. they discovered a small open- ing where the water was flowing through, but since it was almost night they decided to make a tire and cook some of the fish for their supper and remain until morning. Karlv the next morning, after a breakfast of fish, they started once more to try to discover means of escaping from their lake prison. After tramping along the sides of the lake they finally discovered a ledge, about twenty-five feet up the side of the cliff. With wonderful perseverance they succeeded in taking their raft to pieces, and making a rough ladder. Rv means of this they climbed to the ledge, and pulling up enough of the poles from the raft, succeeded in reaching the top. A long tramp along the mountain side brought them at length to Swan Lake, and they followed the shore until their camp was reached. There two tired, but happy boys, after eating their sup- per. had a good night’s sleep. They spent the remainder of their vacation shooting and fishing near the lake, and at its close they started back home, well tanned from the hot sun. and vowing never again to venture into unknown mountain channels. -----•••♦ --- The Prison CHESTER F.

[Contlmivd on paj;e U3| M2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR On Monday. April ‘L when Congress assembled at noon, at the call of President Wilson, to con- sider the grave crisis of affairs, the Somerville High School pupils impressively observed the. hour. We all marched out in front of our school and stood with bared heads and throbbing hearts during Mayor Cliff's address and the subsequent singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” and the salute to the flag. We knew not what was going to happen, but we were there—ready to answer our country’s call, should it be necessary. That is true patriotism, fellow students, and that is the kind that wins. It showed that the good old spirit of the Civil War days had not by any means died out—that American youth was ready as ever to undergo any crisis, however sudden and unex- pected it might be. Lastly, it showed the training of our High School. People may criticize our school as they will, but in the face of that grand burst of patriot- ism their words will be rendered null and void. Those who were at the Triangular Debate either in Newton or Somerville must surely have come away more than ever imbued with the firm con- viction that those who work must win. Our teams certainly did work, students, and the facts and statistics prove that they must have worked just a little hit harder than their oppo- nents. It is now the third successive year that Somer- ville has won the shield. It speaks excellently for the standard of any school that has so many differ- ent organizations and athletic teams that the inter- est in debating is still kept up. Debating brings out the finer inner qualities of a school. One must be courteous, use correct Eng- lish, and speak distinctly in a debate, and above all he must not allow himself to be betrayed into a belligerent attitude of defence. Debating teaches self-control and power of expression before an audience, both of which are invaluable to any High School student. May the interest in debating soar even higher in the future, if that were possible, a r President Murlin, of Boston University, ad- dressed the three upper classes in our Assembly Hall March II. In one of the finest talks to pu- pils ever given in our auditorium he set forth the value of a clean, pure inner life. He clearly showed how a single incident—a single temptation yielded to, or conquered—might change a man's whole life. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” quoted Mr. Murlin. Those words alone would make or unmake all the evil and good we see in the world today. As Mr. Murlin repeatedly said, a fine, noble, clean, pure inner life is one of the greatest assets in any form of society, business or religion. “Yea, more is it to be valued than fine gold or silver.” Now, students, let’s remember that sentence and live up to it. r SENIORS: Do you remember that little talk Mr. Avery gave us one morning in the hall? “How many of you will graduate? How many of you know or do not know that you will receive your diploma?” Those are serious words, and it may not be exactly appropriate to bring them into your minds just now when spring is here, and all is joy- ful. But. nevertheless, there will he weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in June, “n’est-ce pas?” Hence. Seniors, we ought to he foresighted, if. indeed, there is sufficient time remaining. Make SOMERVILLE HIGH sure now that you will have enough points to en- ter your favorite college or university. At least be sure that you will graduate with all vour friends and classmates. It’s a fearful thing to be left be- hind right at the crucial moment—just at the hour and second you have been working for from Gram- mar School upwards. It’s never too late to start anew. Come on. now. buck up, and stick to your books till summer vacation. if if. The baseball season tickets have been on sale now for some time. Have you bought one?

In room 301 a curious collection of antiques was brought together, under Miss Tuell’s supervision, by members of her history classes.

They have made good again, and for the third time have made Somerville the possessor of t’.ie much- desired shield. The comic opera “Princess Bonnie” was given on the evenings of April 1 2 and 13 in our High School Hall, it was rendered wholly by our stu- dents and was successfully presented-—an all-star cast. All whose report-cards indicate that they are eligible for membership in the English Club should procure a membership ticket from Miss Merrill at once. There should be many more members of this worthy organization after the cards come out. How many saw the “Historical Museum” in Miss Tuell’s room? Those who did saw something worth while; those who did not missed an excel- lent opportunity. Next month’s edition of the Radiator will be the Students’ Council Number. Watch for it! There will be a new cover design by the Staff Art- ist. and many new and interesting features will be- introduced. ---o---- The Senior Year Book is coming along wonder- fully well. As has been stated, there will be a cut of each member of the class, and of all our athletic teams and other organizations. Think of tiie pleasure to be derived from this Year Book in future years. It is invaluable to every Senior, especially. SENIORS: Get busy, some of you classical, highly imaginative writers! Write a good story for the June issue, our Graduation Number. All contributions thankfully received. Begin now. and you’ll be ready when the bugle sounds. The Theta Sigma Delta annual ball at Heine- iiiann House, April 10, was a great success.

An eloquent young theologian was picturing in glowing terms the selfishness of men who spend their evenings at the club, leaving their wives in loneliness at home. “Think, my hearers,” said he. “of a poor, ne- glected wife, all alone in a great dreary house, rocking the cradle of her sleeping babe with one foot and wiping away tears with the other!” “Since you got married you are late every morning.” complained the boss. “Well.” explained the breathless clerk, “I have to button up the ashes, shake down a shirtwaist and carry away the furnace.” “Archimedes,” read Hill, “leaped from his bath, shouting ‘Eureka!

Someone has advanced the opinion that the let- ter “e” is about the most unfortunate letter in the English alphabet because it is forever out of cash, always in debt, never out of danger, and in fear and trembling always. However, he overlooked the brighter side of the letter, and we may call his attention to the fact that “e” is never in war. and always in peace. It is President Wilson’s friend because it always furnishes hi; note. It is the beginning of existence, the end of trouble and the commencement of ease.

Much good material lias come forth in the last few days, and although the infield appears weak the outfield is indeed strong. “Cupid” Conlon, although heavy, covered a great deal of ground, while Biglcy and Kelleher were also fast on their feel. At the Tufts game on April 5 the infield was very poor. Charlie made a very poor showing, while Keefe and Shea suffered a great deal because of lack of speed. Ernie Gil- man had a very bad accident in the first inning as he was spiked. Kelley, however, showed a great deal of life and real baseball. Keating at this time is on “pro,” and Coyne took his place. He did not throw down to second with much “pep,” and needs to be developed in this line. Beside the fast Tufts aggregation our team looked very poor, hut considering that it was our first game, why, we shouldn’t kick. Yuka and Tommy McGrath did a little pitching, but it did not stop the heavy hitting Tufts team. It was a well known fact after the game that Somer- ville was in for some hard practice this week. A big item that will depend on the success of the team is the condition, physically and mentally, of all the players. Remember the training rules, fellows, and you will have some of the glory that was showered upon the football. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL SCHEDULE, 1917 April 11—Tech. Soph, at Somerville.

This is a great chance, so don’t miss it. Be a sport and get a ticket. GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM Marion Dan forth and Edith Lynch, captain and manager, respectively, have arranged for three fast games in tennis this season. The schools who have been placed upon the schedule are Concord, Brookline and Newton. ----o--- SPO(R)TLIGHTS A jinx the very first thing—“Ernie” Gilman spiked. Coyne wiil try to fill “Ned’s” shoes. We wish him the best of luck. Clayton Ellis and Dr. William Hoyt gave short but concise speeches, which, however, carried weight with the student body who assembled in the hall. Horace Ford played a great game at shortstop for 'Tufts. Harold Lcland, captain of Tufts nine, also for- merly of Somerville High, showed up well in the outfield and at bat. Harvard. Yale, and many other big college teams have cancelled all engagements because of the pres- ent war crisis. Let us hope that the High Schools will not have to follow this plan. A final word.

KOLB, 19-B THER, does anybody else live in these woods?” “Why, no, Frank, what makes you ask?” “Well, in the three days that I have had niv wireless set up I have caught some very puzzling notes from Ports- mouth. mostly orders and questions, and they arc always answered with an O. K. For some rea- son I think the person who is receiving them lives in these woods and I thought perhaps you knew of someone.” Why, come to think of it. son. Mr. Manning spoke of an old hermit who lived out here some- where. but 1 doubt if he ever installed a wireless and furthermore he told me the hermit himself had died four years ago and the place had been sold by lus brother to a real estate firm in Ports- mouth How ever, let me see the messages. Are they here?” “No. they arc up in the tower, but I’ll get them.” While Frank is obtaining the notes we will look into the past. John Hartwell, his wife, and their only son, Frank, had formerly lived in Portsmouth. Mr. Hartw ell was general manager for A. J. Manning Co., contractors. Because of poor health he had been advised to take a long vacation in some quiet place. The spring of the year had witnessed the completion of a cement pier in Portsmouth harbor, and owing to the excellency of sand in a wooded region eight miles above, the firm had constructed a small railroad into that district to excavate it. Mr. Hartwell, at the suggestion of his employer, had taken up his abode two miles below the pit itself in a cottage used by the em- ployees of the company as sleeping quarters. Early in the week the carpenters had completed the renovation of the cottage and were surprised to hear that a family was to live in such a lonely abode. The alterations did not affect the towrer, however, and Frank had seized this conical shaped room on the upper floor and converted it into a bedroom and headquarters for his wireless. It had originally been used as an office to check off the number of sand cars which passed. Frank had also captured a handcar, which, after a few alterations, he fondly nick-named “Old Faithful.” but unlike its friend, the geyser, it had no aerial aspirations. Frank soon returned with the messages and as he handed the first to his father he said, by way of explanation: “This came Friday morn- ing.” The message read: “Sent formula by mail Thursday. Did you receive it?” In the late af- ternoon this came: “Is it successful?” Yesterday I caught this: “Nearly discovered. Obliged to change pier. Will let you know change later.” “And this,” concluded Frank after a brief pause, “came this morning just before breakfast.” The last which he proffered to his father read: “Conte down at 1 'i and bring all you have prepared. Ex- pect electrician just before noon.” Weil, my son,” finally burst from Mr. Hart- well. “my opinion is that you have a rat trapped. We can vouch for nothing, however, and we will have to wait for development. Perhaps it would be wise to watch the wireless a little closer than usual.” “We can never tell what is happening around us these days,” he added after a short time had elapsed. Mr. Hartwell was thoroughly ex- cited as could be seen by the peculiar look on his face and Frank, observing this, resolved to tell his father no more of what happened. Frank, will you take a walk down to the main road and watch for the paper man? Mr. Man- ning spoke of an old man who passed by at half past eleven and it’s so lonely here I would like to have something to read.” The speaker was Mrs. Hartwell and Frank was immediately alert to serve her, but 1 must add the 100 per cent, of willingness generally exercised was substituted for ninety-nine per cent, of the same and a rather overworked one per cent, of anxiety for what might be lost in information while on such a trip. He quickly suppressed all outward signs, how- ever. put on his cap and set out on his way. '1 here were many thoughts predominant in Frank’s mind when the path suddenly came to an end. Even then he sat upon a large boulder and continued his meditations. Who was receiv- ing the messages? For what purpose? Where did the hermit live? What was the formula? Suddenly a happy thought struck him—he would ask the paper man. Upon the arrival of the paper man. who proved to be a farmer consider- ably beyond middle age. Frank purchased two papers at the elevated price of six cents. Sud- denly. he realized he didn’t even know the man’s name, but a time-worn policy quickly flashed into his mind. “Er—r Mister—r—r ------------------,” began Frank. “Eldridgc.” quickly encouraged the old man. Ah. yes,” continued Frank, elated at his suc- cess. “Do you know of a hermit who once lived iii these woods, Mr. Eldridgc?” “It it’s Jed Newell you mean.” replied the farmer, “he used to live up north’ard in the woods, but he’s been dead four years. A young SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 161 feller's got it now. he's had it for a month. It’s a right line car he’s got, too; I’m thinking of gettin’ one for my business.” “Yes, yes.” said Frank hastily, feigning inter- est in the last, but pleased with the results, asked : “How far northward does he live?” “It’s the next path to this on the same side about a mile up.’ was the answer, “but you’d better keep away from him. lie makes me leave his paper out on the road and he leaves the money for it there.” The place where they were stand- ing in the road was just around a crook in the woods and the corner was decorated with more or less danger signs which would serve the pur- pose should all drivers stop and read them. All at once, as if from nowhere, a car shot around the corner and headed directly for Mr. Eldridgc’s outfit. A quick turn of the wheel prevented this, but the back wheel of the auto struck the back wheel of the carriage and upset it. throwing Mr. Eldridgc’s person some feet inti� the roadside. Frank quickly righted the carriage to prevent the none-too-wcll-tempered horse from bolting up the road and then ran to the old farmer’s aid. He proved to be uninjured, however, and picking himself up cautiously he managed to blurt out: “That was him then.” After regaining his com- posure Mr Eldridge succeeded in putting the us- ual question, which for some reason he had failed to ask before, that is: Who be you?” Frank Hartwell.” came the reply, and with that Frank started for home. The old farmer, seeing his intention, picked up his reins and moved away, scolding himself that he had not asked the boy more in the first place. “This must be it.” thought Frank, as he stood on the edge of a clearing which contained a weather-beaten shanty and a new garage of the portable type. Frank decided to explore the cot- tage first and started towards it. Frank’s quick survey of the surroundings, however, had not missed the bright steel wires, tightly stretched between a pole on the garage and a correspond- ing pole on the house. Upon pushing open a rather dilapidated door, Frank found himself in a home-like room probably used for a kitchen and sitting room combined. In one corner was a bamboo bookcase, which on examination con- tained a set of thick books on law. cloth covered and well worn, two loose-leaf cook books, three remaining volumes of a set of ten encyclopedias and two account books dating from July. 185)7, to August. 1912. All must have been left here by the hermit, thought Frank, and indeed the fur- niture. as could readily be seen, would have tempted no purchaser. A quick glance about the room revealed a haircloth couch, a table which could be enlarged by lifting up one side, and a low coal stove, which had been alienated from blacking for many months. On the wall above the tabic was a square cracker box divided into section?- and containing dishes, knives, forks and other implements of eating. Beneath the table was a half full box of canned foods. Dissatisfied, Frank passed into a small floorless, slant-roofed shed connected with the house. This presented a w ill of neatly piled wood, two tin bound boxes in a corner and a stairway of the ladder type leading to a room above. The boxes on inspec- tion proved to be very repugnant. The upper one. which had a hinged cover, contained a red blasting can and a package of tangled wire. The lower, which was labeled High Explosives,” was divided into two sections and had contained two different types of powder which had been well used. Frank then mounted the stairway and the room which he entered contained a bed, a table and a chair. Frank was tempted to sit down at the wireless, as he had seen in a glance that it was far superior to his own, but he conquered his desire as lie thought of the return of the owner. Already it was -1 o’clock and the tenant had been gone since 12. lie therefore hastened down and out. The garage proved to hold nothing and he started for the pit. This lie found with consid- erably less trouble than he had the road and was soon speeding down the track. That evening for want of something else to do Frank spent an hour of his time looking over the papers Among the many headlines scanned was one which read: “Every Fourth Mystifies Cincin- nati Police.” It was interesting and amusing, but was passed on. like many others, unread. Frank’s mother unconsciously drifted into the war news and broke the silence by exclaiming: Isn’t it awful? Here is a New York report which says that Philip Penoff. an international spy. is in this country with some of his co-workers. I believe the country is infested with spies.” Little did Philip Penoff worry Frank. He threw up his arms, yawned and started for bed. No. indeed, it . was not Philip Penoff. it was the tenant in the cottage a mile above that worried Frank. Frank awoke the next morning to the realiza- tion that his automatic alarm was ringing and that something was about to pass over the wires. He jumped from bed and looked at the clock. “Six o'clock: who could it be?” He clamped on his head gear, however, and the message came: “Penofi suspects police have got clues of his pres- ence. Final orders tomorrow at After this every third.” “Penoff. Penoff, every third.” mut- tered Frank. Where have I heard of those be- fore? Ah, 1 have it.” he finally declared, “yes- terday’s paper. Penoff is an international spy and every third noil was: ‘Every Fourth Mysti- fies Cincinnati Police.’ I’ll have to look up that one. perhaps it can be applied to every third.” I !c dressed hurriedly and hastened down stairs. The article when found read: “Clever criminals ex- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 162 changed notes containing apparently nothing on first sight, hut later were deciphered. Every fourth word was extracted and it was . . . .” Frank decided he would apply that to every third and he also laid his plans up to date. Philip Pen i: was plotting to blow up something; just what Frank could not decide. The man in the woods had prepared the explosives and had per- haps been chosen to do the exploding. Frank decided to wait lor the final orders and then go to Portsmouth and notify the police. “Old Faith- ful’' would take him there, if nothing else. At in o’clock the following evening Frank was in the tower and at 7 the message came. “What it all had been correct. I want two boys live wires to take under the other third small stone pile which left on the other end takes the shape of the letter F to make wharf space. All lions bring what they can. If you explode with anger all will look at what you eight boys bought tonight. We only await for your whistle to buy from most any boat that is in the Portland har- bor.” “Well, this changes mv plans a little,” mused Frank, deciphering it. “but final orders are final orders. F wharf is Farnsworth wharf as there are no other wharfs beginning with F ” He slipped on his hat and coat, grasped his wire cutters and hastened out the back door. “Here they are.” !t was Frank that spoke and he was in a dory at the end of Farnsworth wharf. The wires were wound around the pile and Frank decided to wait until the can was connected be- fore clipping them. Suddenly came the roar of a motor at the other end of the pier and a man stepped from the car. Frank pulled the dory under the wharf and waited. The man reached down and grasped the wires. The wires were connected and Frank waited as well as the man. At last it came. A shrill whistle from the har- bor followed by two from the shore. The handle on the can was raised. Frank quickly caught the wires in the teeth of bis pliers and gave them one last squeeze. Then there was rushing and an auto drove out upon the wharf. There was shouting and somebody directed in a stern voice that “Sergeant” get the one in the boat. Real- izing it was the police Frank pulled himself up and told his story. T he next week the little cottage was crowded with reporters and other newspaper men. not ex- cluding Mr. Eldridge. who declared that he had mistrusted something right along. That same week Frank received a letter of praise from Washington signed by the President himself. He had saved the Portsmouth navy yard. A Dream and Not a Dream LILLIAN TRASK. 19-B ' F night Dorothy Statford dreamed that a man dressed in tattered clothes had entered her home, and going to her dresser had opened her jewel case and taken out her emer- ald ring. She had jumped from her bed and snatched the ring from his hand; then fearing that he would attack her threw it far across the room, crying for help; the intruder left the room by the way of the lattice door and jumping from the piazza disappeared among the shrubbery. Too frightened to awake the house- hold. Dorothy thought that she had dropped, fainting, on the bed and had fallen asleep once again. Such was her dream. When she awoke in the morning, she recalled it all: half laughed and thought how unwise it was to enjoy Welsh rarebit before going to bed. Wondering what time it was, Dorothy stepped to her dresser to look at her watch. As she did so. to her greatest amazement, she found that her dream was true, for there lay the jewel case open and empty. The emerald ring was gone! “How strange.” thought Dorothy, “that the watch is safe as well as are my two other rings. I lc surely was a wise burglar to take the most valuable thing I possessed.” L’pon glancing toward the lattice door, she found it half open, just as the robber of her dream had left it. This certainly was a problem to be solved right away. As she left the room for breakfast, she deter- mined to say nothing of the matter until after the morning meal was finished. Dorothy’s mother did not appear for breakfast, so Mr. Stat- ford and his daughter breakfasted alone. When they were through, Dorothy sat back in her chair and calmly said:— “A robber was in this house last night, dad. and carried off my emerald ring. It seems quite ex- traordinary to me, for I had a dream exactly like it last night, and awoke this morning only to find it was true. We’ve got to do something about it now. Employ a detective at once, as you know how much I prize that ring, since grandmother gave it to me before she died. You’ll sec about it right away, won’t you, dad?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 163 “Why—er—of course, if you wish, but still I can buy you another ring and thus save bothering with those detestable detectives ’ he answered. “No, dad, that won’t do. It’s not only the ring that I'm so anxious about, but I don’t like the idea ot having people coining into this house and taking awav some of our things and getting off without punishment. Perhaps if any of that cul- prit’s friends learn that this is the kind of house where robbers may enter and take what they want with no interference, soon what we have in this house won’t be worth much, for they all will visit us.” “Well, daughter, I really don’t think there is any need of employing a detective, but to please you I’ll do as you say.” “Very well, then, come now with me and tele- phone for one.” As they started to leave the room Mrs. Stat- ford entered and asked where they were going. “You look rather anxious and upset, is any- thing the trouble?” she asked, looking at Doro- thy. Dorothy explained the necessity of employing a detective, and while doing so noticed that her mother smiled continually. When she had fin- ished. Mrs. Statford laughed heartily aloud and said:— “Don’t get so excited over it. listen to me be- fore telephoning. About 12 o’clock last night I heard a dreadful noise upstairs, I hastened up, thinking someone probably needed me. As I neared Dorothy’s room I could plainly hear that the noise came from there. Upon opening the door 1 saw her running wildly around the room hitting the walls and everything which came in her way. fhen suddenly she ran to her dresser and took something from her jewel case and threw it across the room. The object nearly struck me hi the face, but luckily I ducked my head just in time to escape it. As it fell near my feet, 1 stooped to pick it up and found it to be the emerald ring. Then Dorothy cried for help, and ran toward the lattice door and opened it part way Fearing that she would fall from the piazza and injure herself. I ran to her and helped her back in bed. She did not wake at all, so after finding that she was fast asleep. I left her. Now, I plainly see that Miss Dorothy can never eat Welsh rarebit just at bedtime again, and that watching girls have the nightmare does not agree with my head. It ached so that 1 couldn’t get down to breakfast in time. Here is the ring and don’t attempt to throw it away like that again.” Dorothy could not help laughing, for often she had teased her girl friends because they walked in their sleep, and now she realized that she was as guilty of the crime as were they. “That was a queer thing, mother,” she said that afternoon, “first it was a dream, then I thought it wasn’t a dream and in the end found that it was.” --------------- An Incident in the Military Camp in Abyssinia VANDA CAPPUCCIO, 17-B BOUT twenty-five years ago the na- tives of Abyssinia, who were under Italian rule, revolted. Whether it was the tremendous heat of that country just taking effect or what- ever it might have been, they re- volted. which, of course, necessitated the sending of troops to Abyssinia in order to quell the dis- turbance. The climate, as aforesaid, was disagreeably hot, and the soldiers, unaccustomed to the tropi- cal heat, suffered much from it. Many con- tracted malarial fevers; some recovered, some didn’t, and those who were well were so thor- oughly disgusted that they waited with unsup- pressed eagerness for the day that would bring the orders for their return home. One day in particular the Abvssinians were un- usually quiet, not one having been seen the en- tire morning. The soldiers lounged around in groups, some playing cards, some singing, others scribbling notes to their sweethearts and wives and others in conversation. But these diversions soon exhausted themselves and the men were restless again. Then one of the men said:— ’Say. boys, why not move about a bit ? Let’s go exploring for ourselves.” “Why didn’t you suggest going to the opera while you were at it ?” answered another of his companions. Let’s borrow a microscope and try to see if we can discover a park or a boulevard in which we might stroll about.” came from another com- rade. “Curses on those blackheads for bringing us • nit here in the first place. I’d rather use them for a target instead of lounging around here.” just then the lieutenant appeared. Lieutenant Scotti was a verv youthful lieutenant, being just twenty. He hadn’t relished the idea of having SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 164 Africa for a summer resort or having cannibals to combat for amusement, anv more than the rest of the regiment: hut duty called and he obeyed the call. He happened to be near enough this group of men to unintentionally overhear their conversation. His opinion did not differ from that of the soldiers respecting Abyssinia and her attractions. Eating the same food con- sisting partb- of the soldiers’ regular ration and mostly of tropical fruits, which were to be found in abundance there, did not appeal to any of them. The fresh provisions which were sent over soon spoiled or dried up in the heat of the country, so were sent in small quantities, and these were quickly disposed of. At his appearance the men became the orderly soldiers again. All trace of languor disappeared; all stood erect with their muskets by their sides as they saluted their lieutenant. “Well, boys.” Lieutenant Scotti said, pleas- antly. “why not go exploring as 011c of your com- rades suggested? How many of you would like to come?” About a dozen men stepped forward. “All right, then, we’ll go to the general and get permission to leave the bounds.” Accordingly they went to the general’s head- quarters and obtained the desired permit. Off they started, with renewed spirits, singing songs and joking along the way. but at the same time keeping a keen eye about their path. Thus they walked nearly a mile without having discov- ered anything. They were just about to turn back when the lieutenant thought he saw some- thing white among the bushes alongside the path. He brought the men's attention to this and sev- eral of them proceeded cautiously to the spot. Hey. fellers! look what’s here!” they cried. And look they did and saw eggs—about two dozen of beautiful, large, oval eggs. No one nowadays makes a big fuss when he discovers a nest of eggs, but to these men who hadn’t seen them or eaten them for weeks, they were like so many precious jewels. Yes. there was no mis- take. there were about two dozen eggs in this large nest. At the lieutenant’s orders they were quickly gathered for transportation to the camp. “I hope those black devils don’t pop up now and make 11s drop them. one of the bearers said, whereupon he stumbled and the precious eggs neariy went down indeed. Hut the eggs were safely carried to the camp, which seemed thousands of miles away, and the troop hastened to the general and placed the eggs before him. When the general saw the eggs, he began stroking his heard, which meant he was doing some rapid mental work. At last he said: “Boys, do you know what you have got here?” “Sure.” they answered in unison “we’ve got eggs and a nice feed coming to us.” “Yes. you’ve got eggs, no doubt, but these eggs are worth thousands of dollars.” “How’s that?” asked several, all looking at the eggs as it they expected them to have turned out t . be gold bricks. ; I f the men had been in Abyssinia in UM7 they wouldn’t have had to,ask why eggs cost so much ) “W these are ostrich eggs. When hatched, •he birds will pr.'.iueo feathers worth main times imae than i have estimated. 1 think you had be: l return them to the nest again.” i h men received this announcement with dis- ay. but orders were orders and had to be obeyed. Thcv strutted back to the spot of dis- covery . ml placed the jewels in their nest again and once more started hack for their camp with “disappointment” written on their faces. Hut they had progressed only a short distance on their way when a sound of strange footsteps was heard behind them. “Disappointment” was quickly erased from their countenances, and “alertness” and “action” shone forth instead. Just one thought coursed through their minds and that was the natives were awake again! Down came their muskets automatically. Thud! thud! thud! thud! the distant sound of steps. The men quickened their steps in order to be nearer the camp in case they needed more help. One man was dispatched as messenger to the camp with the news. Thud! thud! thud! nearer and nearer came the sound. At last the men came t some rocks covered around by bushes. The lieutenant ordered them to squat behind and he ready for attack. From behind the rocks the men waited with hearts which thumped furiously and which seemed to skip every other beat. Prayers were being murmured, for some of them thought that this might be their last day on earth. They had not long to wait. Soon a large en- veloping cloud of dust appeared, a cracking of brush, and from the encircling cloud there ap- peared not the squad of black, kinky-headed, grass-covered savages, for whom the men had their muskets leveled in position for firing, but an infuriated ostrich. The men were so surprised that they remained with their mouths opened w ide. Nearer and nearer approached the foe, and the soidics realized that if they weren’t going to shoot her it would be best for them to run. so they took to their heels and ran as fast as they possibly could to the camp, the ostrich keeping close on their heels. Into their tents they dived, and there they remained, breathless and still sur- prised, so unexpected was this new kind of at- tack. The mother ostrich, apparently satisfied with her day’s work, retreated t her “camp.” turning every once in a while to take a last look at her defeated foes; while the men gazed at her (Continued on page 172) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 The Students’ Council HAZEL L. SMITH, 19-A T'ise first Student Council of the Somerville High School was formed in 1011, and was the outcome of a wish on the part of the faculty to find some means to have the students represented in some matters connected with the administra- tion of affairs. The officers of the various classes were called together, and elected Karle Cushing, president of the class of 10la-A, as president of the Student Council. Tins council represents the student body in af- fairs concerning both faculty and pupils, and serves as a means by which the students may malic suggestions for the approval of the faculty. It aims to aid the faculty in increasing enthusi- asm. for better study, and in improving dis- cipline. It encourages interest in athletics and the undertakings of other school organizations. 1 he entertainments and recently the dances which have been given by the council advance the social welfare of the school. Numerous objects have been accomplished by past Student Councils. They have given after- noon entertainments, as all the pupils know, but a large majority of the pupils do not associate many other undertakings with the Student Coun- cil. T hey tried to encourage keeping our school and giounds neat and attractive, and for that reason had printed “clean-up” posters, placed in each room. They have given the proceeds of their entertainments to help athletics, such as tennis, hockey and so forth, and also for the sup- port of the Radiator. Inc Student Council of 15)17, under the leader- ship of its president, Harry Moore. TLB, has had charge of two very successful dances, and has gi cn one entertainment which was a success. Of the proceeds, fifty dollars were given to the Athletic Association, ten dollars to the Glee Clubs, and the proceeds of the entertainment to the Radiato� . The new cover of the Radiator was designed by a member of the council and paid for by them. The late hour of opening and closing the school session proved inconvenient to the majority of both students and faculty, and through the ef- forts of the Student Council earlier hours have been secured. The past presidents have been Carle Cushing, T5-A; Clayton Hilis, I-LB; Carl Newton, Tii-A; Thomas Scanlon, T( -B. and John Grimmons, T7-A. The officers of the 1917 council arc Harry Moore, TLB, president: Wilda Chipman, TLB, secretary: Ruth Boothby, T9-A, treasurer. My Own Experience FT HR riding all day and all night in a hot, stuffy train, we arrived at the rustic and artistic station, Gardiner, at the very door of “America’s Only Geyser Land.” Here we find wait- ing for us large, easy riding, four- horse conveyances, seating from nine to twelve people each and especially adapted for sight-see- ing, ready to carry us to Mammoth Hot Springs, our first stopping place in Yellowstone Park. I will not mention every place in detail such as Mammoth Hot Springs, Terrace Mountain, Golden Gate, which formed a narrow passage be- tween Bunsen Peak and Terrace Mountain about one mile long; Twin Lakes, one a blue, the other a very bright green. On the second day we started on our way to Fountain Hotel; we passed by Beaver Dam. The beavers have built a home directly across the swift flowing river. The increase is so great here that this place is used as a basis of supply for the zoological gardens throughout the country. While we were at Fountain Hotel we took many side trips to see Fireholc Lake, the Great Fountain Geyser, Excelsior Geyser. Turquoise Spring and Prismatic Lake, all of which arc too wonderful to describe. It also was a great at- traction to go into the woods with the guides and watch them feed the bears. It was «ni the third day that we started for Old Faithful Inn. We had passed many amazing sights, but none were so wonderful as Old Faith- ful. Ever since Old Faithful Geyser was discov- ered in 1-S70 by the Washburn Doanc exploration party, it lias “played” scarcely without a varia- tion day and night. It throws a spray from PL ) to 1. U feet and discharging each time on gallons of water, an average of :W,(-00,225 gallons a day! Old Faithful Inn was nearly as great an attraction as the geyser itself. It is an enormous log cabin constructed of trees cut in the forests of the park; also it is given a very unique appearance by the use of gnarled and freak tree growths. The rustic bedrooms were SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 166 unpapered and unpainted pine with the artistic furnishings of the arts and crafts style. c stayed here over night and continued our journey through “Wonderland.” as it is called, on our way to the Lake Hotel. Between the Upper Geyser Basin and Yellowstone Lake we crossed the Continental Divide twice. At the first cross- ing lies Isa Lake in a narrow, sheltered canyon bordered by great cliffs. This lake lies at the very summit of the Continental Divide, X.2G0 cct above sea level. ') he “divide” winds on again; we cross it at Shoshom Point a few miles beyond Isa Lake. Xot long after we crossed the Conti- nental Divide we came to the Lake Hotel, where we remained over night. In the morning we started rather early on our journey towards Grand Canyon, the most won- derful place of all. We had our choice of going by land or across the lake in a little gasoline launch. This lake is one of the two or three highest navi- gated lakes in the world, being 7,7 31 feet above sea level. A striking feature near the lake was the cone. Here you could stand on the shore of the lake, catch your fish and without moving put him in a hot spring in the cone and cook him! When we reached the Grand Canyon Hotel, we were greatly surprised to see such a mam- moth building in the heart of the Rockies. It is (500 feel long and -100 feet wide. This magnifi- cent structure was built during a severe winter under great disadvantages. The canyon 1 simply cannot describe, so I will quote from some one who can picture it. “The Grand Canyon has been cut and painted by the divine hands as if to give us some idea of John’s vision of ! leaven—walls of jasper, streets of gold, gates of pearl, foundation stones of emerald, sap- phire. topaz and amethyst. Such a display of color as tiie eye of man never looked upon. There is a gigantic tower carved out of solid crimson rock; here are turrets, castles and cathedrals, there a Parthenon, over there St. Mark glisten- ing in gold, there Taj Mahal as white as spotless alabaster. There arc many canyons longer, deeper and wider, but when you come to won- derful combination of color there is none can compare with it.” After taking several side trips about the can- yon we returned to Mammoth Hot Springs, from which we had started. What I Saw Through the Keyhole BEATRICE SAVAGE, 18-B S I crept along the dark room, which I had entered, unseen, through a window, it seemed as though every board T stepped on creaked and groaned. My heart began to fail me. but my general had trusted me to get the paper, so get it I must. At last I reached a door and crouched to look through the keyhole. 1 could sec but little, yet luckily for me. within the range of my vision was what I most desired to see, a small table, a lamp upon it, and a man’s head bending eagerly over the paper. 1 must have that paper. How would I get it? This man was not alone, for although, owing to the si c of the keyhole, he was the only person I could see, yet 1 could distinguish the voices of at least three others. I could never tackle them alone, so with fainting heart I awaited mv op- portunity. I knew these men were very super- stitious. but I could think of nothing whatsoever to do in order to arouse their superstitions. But what was that? One man was leaving. As he passed through the front door, I strained my ears to hear the password. He repeated “Wa-up- dur.” What a relief. At least I was a little safer with their password at my command. In my joy at this discovery 1 had taken my eye from the keyhole. Soon I heard confusion within the room. I looked. What a change had taken place! The men were acting as though crazed with fear, running wildly about, seeking escape. But what was the cause of their fear? Merely a three-legged cat, with glaring green eves. In the confusion 1 heard a crash. The table had fallen over, the lamp had been broken and all was dark. Here was my'long-waited-for opportunity. I cautiously opened the door and stole in. The men were so terrified and confused they noticed nothing, the room being dense in darkness. I reached the fallen table, found the paper, seized it and fied to the front door. But alas, I was too confident, for I suddenly found myself halted by a rough voice and felt something cold on my fore- head. but I immediately called “Wa-up-dur.” The pistol dropped, the door was flung open and I fled through and down the road, arriving safely at the general’s office with the paper.

Edward Derby, opened the meeting with a brief sketch of Rossetti, the ar- tist and poet, whose pictures were poems and whose poems were pictures. Letitia DeMita next gave a violin solo, the Meditation from Thais; Miss Dorothy Mat- thews. a graduate of the school and one f Som- erville’s coming singers, beautifully rendered a group of songs, “Three Shadows” and “The Nightingale,” words by Rossetti, music by Bur- leigh. The major feature of the program was the giv- ing of Rossetti’s dramatic poem. “The White Ship.” by Dudley Moore, ’IS-A. Entirely for his own enjoyment Mr. Moore had worked for many weeks, during the summer, on the mastery of the poem, and presented it for the first time in public for the English Club. Mr. Moore’s work was sustained and emphasized by a sympathetic piano accompaniment arranged and given by Miss Theodora Moore, a talented musician and pianist. The eager, rapt attention of the audi- ence and their spontaneous applause told better than words could have done their appreciative enjoyment of the splendid wofk of one of their number. A quartette from the Roys’ Glee Club. Messrs, Preble. Cord. Douglass and Hanlon, sang a lyric by Rossetti, and the program closed with the singing of “ The Star Spangled Banner” by Miss Matthews, the quartette and the a'ndience. Fruit punch and cakes were served. Dancing until ' .30 ended another of the enjoyable afternoons of the English Club. ---------—----------------- The fond mother gently rocked her baby’s cradle with one foot, while with the other she wiped away her tears.—Ex. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1 9 The Students’ Council AS SEEN BY HAROLD KOLB, 17-B 170 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S Patriotism, defined simply, means love for one’s country. Patriotism may be exhibited in several different ways, though the first thought con- nected with patriotism is that of fighting, physi- cally. for one’s country. This involves a very high standard of amor patriae, that of self-sacri- fice. But everyone cannot show his patriotism in this way. Chacun a son gout. Consider the present world war which the United States has entered. There is ample op- portunity for a man of inventive genius to aid his country through his skill. We need new sub- marines, dreadnoughts, high explosives, aero- planes, and powerful guns, etc. The man who gives inventions of the above- mentioned sort to his country—is he not a pa- triot just as much as the soldier or sailor? Again, there are the men who plan and execute strategic movements on the field of battle, and there are numberless other instances illustrating different ways of exhibiting patriotism. Students, we have not attained the age and skill required for these things, in all probability, but we can do the thing at hand, namely farming. If you are not intending to study all vacation, or work away from home, there is no way of employing your time more advantageously or profitably. In one sense it is as necessary for the country’s welfare as inventions of mechanical contrivances for our protection. Bear in mind that it is one form of patriotism and the one which we all can do. . Miss Helen Cameron, formerly associate edi- tor on this year’s Radiator staff, was married Saturday evening. April '21, to Mr. McKinley of the Minnesota. Miss Mildred H. Steere. of the class of 1917-B, was appointed to fill the vacancy and is working hard—even harder than Miss Cameron, if that were possible,—for the welfare of our school paper. W e have an editorial on gardening this month from Miss Steere. � r Girls of 1917:— Since President Wilson’s appeal for increasing the food supply in this country, what have we done to help our nation in this serious food situa- tion? Each one of us, as citizens of Somerville, and students of the Somerville High School, should feel a sense of responsibility and of co- operation. The President’s appeal is not directed alone to the owners of large farms, who yearly produce for the country’s benefit, to the utmost ability of the land, but instead to those living in the cities, who are accustomed to seeing beautiful green lawns surrounding their homes. City offi- cials have contributed parks and vacant fields towards this worthy cause. W’e should do our part, small though it be, to help lower the pres- ent high cost of all food and raise at least the common vegetables which are now considered as luxuries in many homes. Lack of time or the fear that the exercise is too strenuous should not be urged as an excuse. After spending five hours of study indoors in a schoolroom, nothing can be more refreshing or profitable than time spent at gardening in the open air. Statistics show that doctors have de- cided that gardening is one of the best recrea- tions for tired minds. When we hear our country crying for protec- tion. we expect the men of the nation will rise to meet such situations. The girl docs not al- ways have the same opportunity to render her service, but today there is a splendid chance for her to show her colors. Girls! What can you do SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 171 to help? It is true we can’t all he Red Cross nurses. But now we can do our part if it is only in a “back yard garden.” We have all heard of the ‘'man with the hoe.” Why not the “girl with the hoe”? Because of the many luxuries which the Ameri- can girl and woman of today has been accus- tomed to cnioy, she has often been criticized as selfish, conceited and indolent. Now, if ever, the opportunity is given to show the world that the American girl can put aside her pleasures for the more serious side of life and that she is no longer a hothouse plant,—instead she can adapt herself to the outdoor life, ever ready to do her bit for her country and flag. r, r. K � In a meeting of all 1 '■ 1 S-A and 191T-B students recently, Mr. Avery and President Harry Moore discussed plans for the graduation this year with all who expect to graduate in June. Mr. Avery stated that he positively did not wish the Seniors to present a class gift to the school this year, in view of the present situation of affairs throughout the country. He also said that he did not want to see any unduly expen- sive gowns or suits at graduation V ays and means were also discussed as to omitting or holding a Senior banquet, also con- cerning the omission of one of the evening soirees usually held by the graduating class. The affair was left in indecision to be voted upon at some later date. K r. , k The editorial staff and the class editors are all working hard for a banner Graduation Number of the Radiator in June. Preparations are under way for many most interesting and enjoyable features in this number. Everyone in school, and especially all the Seniors, should not leave school in June without his Souvenir Number of the school paper. We have worked hard to please you thus far, and we promise to surpass ourselves in the June issue. All the students’ and teachers’ home ad- dresses will be in this number, as usual, in addi- tion to the other features. I11 “movie” parlance, it will be a “six-reel thriller.” When the applications are called for, be sure to make your twenty-five cent deposit with the proctor of your room as quickly as pos- sible, for we must know how many Radiators must be printed to supply the demand.

We have started well and are on the way to another cham- pionship. Keep up your marks, everybody! The last quarter is the most important and a great deal can be accomplished towards college certificates, especially in our case, Seniors, by bringing up our standards now. Preparations are under way for a banner grad- uation number of the Radiator in June. Watch for instructions as to subscribing for this souve- nir number—those who arc not our regular sub- scribers. We have a new organization among us. the Alpha Zcta Phi Fraternity. They are giving a ball at Heinemann House Thursday evening, May IT. The Radiator staff extend hearty good wishes to this new fraternity and hope that it will flourish in the school. The reports for the third quarter were out April 20. I low many were satisfied with their marks? There’s one more chance—make the most of it. The Girls Athletic Association held an enter- tainment in our auditorium after school Friday, April 20. Dancing and refreshments followed and the afternoon was enjoyed by all. ----o--- Besides several other features, the entire cal- endar of sports and school activities will appear in the June Radiator. Candidates for the tennis team reported at the Mason Street court ready to play on Monday, April 23. It is hoped that Roland Pillsbury, cap- tain of this year’s team, will obtain a speedy ag- gregation from the recruits. The committee for Senior Night was elected April 25. The regular graduation program of activities may be condensed somewhat in view of the present crisis. The G. K. K. Cabaret, held in the High School Auditorium Monday evening, April 30, was a great success. Carl Newton, president of the freshman class at Tufts and S. II. S. T6-A, and Ross Shcpardson, S. H. S., M6-A, were one of the features of the entertainment. Dancing was enjoyed by all from 10 to 12 o’clock. How many have continued to be late since the new time system went into effect? No excuse, pupils, the sun rises at 1.30. We have more time in the afternoon and hence we should be willing to sacrifice a few minutes more or less of sleep in the morning.

Great was the laughter that prevailed in camp that night: for just as the men dived into the tents the whole regiment was ready to march forth against the enemy. The men amused them- selves telling their other comrades how they thought they were going to have a fine supper and instead had to run for shelter,—one against twelve!

Slu is very brilliant because of:— Gullage’s brilliant socks. Taylor’s brilliant Radiator notes. Hughes’ brilliant work in his studio. Lundgren’s brilliantly polished shoes. Spates’ brilliant smiles. Just a slip of the tongue:— “I heard that Hill Jones took his friend to ride in a nice wagon.” It was repeated thus:— “Bill Jones took his friend to ride in an ice wagon.’’ It’s just too bad! People could not go in bath- ing at the seashore last summer because of sharks. It wili be U-boats this summer.

Assistant Editor. Frank Townsend. How to get the attention of the “Working Five” of 113:— Say to McNamara: “One pound of butter.” Say to Powers: “One dozen, please (oranges).” Say to Martin: “Attention.” Say to Dewire: “Fire.” Say to Patten: “Any seats?” Any person desiring to hear some nice fairy tales should get a study seat in 100 during a period of German translation. The class of 1920-B offers to Captain Deacon, Coach Dickerman. and the rest of the baseball team, its best wishes of good luck. We hope they will be as successful as the football team. A tragedy in one act:— Scene—1-B Latin A. l ime—Second period. Tossi’s book takes a fall to the floor. Tossi in frantic haste to recover it accidentally falls flat on the floor beside his “Fidus Latina Liber.” Applause and laughter. Quick curtain. It has been said that a fool is a person who reads everything and remembers all. According to that there are no fools in Division A. We know a few persons who can’t even remember their Latin lessons over night. Do you, Northrup? Good news! There is at last a bulletin board in 106.

Somerville was expected to do better, but Tommy McGrath was sick with the grippe and Kelleher complained of a sore arm. But regard- less of these two facts the Medford team looked snappier all around. Swenson, who was not sup- posed to be in shape, had the Somerville fel- lows breaking their backs trying to connect with his speedy curves. Captain Deacon had an off day. His error in the seventh, which was followed by Gilman’s error, paved the way for Medford’s five runs. MEDFORD. a.b. r. b.h. p.o. 9 a. e. Early, lb ... 4 0 0 1 0 Ballou, 3b. ... ... 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 .

Tommy held the visitors to one hit up to the sixth inning and struck out seven of the bats- 182 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR men. Somerville hit both Ross and Moriarty very freely. Many substitutes were used in the game and after the regulars were out there was no more scoring. Milton and Dieter played good ball for Mel- rose. SOMERVILLE. a b. r. b.h. p.o. a. e.

BASKET BALL The interclass games of the girls' basket ball teams took place the latter part of April. The first, between the Freshmen and Juniors, was won by the former: the second, between the Sophomores and Seniors, was won by the Sopho- mores. These games were held in the school gymnasium, while the final one, between the winners, took place at the Y. M. C. A. By de- feating the Freshmen in a game that was es- pecially exciting—very noticeably so near the finish—the Sophomores won the championship. All games were played in good form and the participants showed their knowledge of basket ball. The captains of the four teams were: Fresh- men, Miss DeWitt; Sophomores, Miss Danforth; Juniors.

PROTHERO, ’17-B CHESTER 1 PROTHERO. Ivy Orator. A dash of rain, and then, a flood; The lightnings flash and heavens roar. W ith God’s and man’s artillery The earth doth quake; and such is War. Probably today few could be found to defend war in the abstract, though in the past men sang its praises and believed it developed heroism, self- sacrifice, and the nobler traits of human character. Today we know war tests character but does not make it. The coward, sunk in his cowardice, re- mains a coward and rouses not at the call to arms: the same call sounds in the ear of a patriot and he leaves home and dear ones to offer, if need be, his life for his country and flag. War made neither the coward nor the patriot: it showed each his real character. War is. to quote from Mr. Britling’s letter to his son’s German tutor. “War is a curtain of dense, black fabric drawn across all the hopes and kindliness of mankind.” War means the extinction of human life, the blast- ing of human hopes, and the laying of heavy bur- dens upon the energy and resources of mankind, far beyond the period of its own generation. Sir Oliver Lodge, Fellow of the Royal Society, says that “the present war is a war of ideals, a conflict between two ideals of government;—the English, ideal of a commonwealth of nations, a group of friendly states, some larger, some smaller, some stronger, some weaker, but all work- ing together and contributing each her quota for the good of humanity and the progress of the world;—that is the ideal on the one hand;—and on the other, the Prussian ideal of a single glori- fied state, dominating all others, enforcing its will despotically, imposing its customs, its learning, and its culture on all the rest of the world.” Not only does this statement apply to England, but to all her allies as well. The invasion and destruc- tion of Belgium, the aerial raids on England, the “scrap of paper incident, the German naval atrocities: these and many other wrongs have fanned the blaze of wrath in the hearts of the Allies, but at the centre of the flame, nourishing and animating it. lies the coal of bitterness, the opposing governmental ideals of the Teuton and his foe. Over this difference of ideals goes on the most terrible war in the world’s history; unparalleled in its costliness, the total expense of the first three years being almost seventy-five billion, a sum twice as large as the total indebtedness of every nation in the world in 11)14; a sum seven times greater than the combined deposits of the 7, GOO national banks in the United States; a sum sufficient to build and equip railroads equal to five times the number now oper- ating in the United States; to pay for two hundred such projects as the Panama canal; to provide schools and teachers for every child living today. In addition to this military cost is the destruction of property, of cities, railroads, ships, factories, and the loss of production, the industries idle; no statistician can estimate the moral injury that has been done, and the terrible loss of life, more than fifteen millions, is even more appalling. “Where are the brave, the strong, the fleet, The flower of nation’s chivalry? Wild grasses are their winding sheet, And sobbing waves their threnody.” Across the water in heroic France lie thousands of lonely, fatherless homes, devastated fields, and blackened, shell-torn villages. In brave, martyred Belgium—there is no Belgium. Along the Marne and the Aisne, and behind Verdun, lie in their shallow graves millions of sacrifices to the god of War; millions of noble fighting men. reaped from the ranks of Belgium. France, and England. While all this sacrifice and slaughter is going on in the field the gaunt shadow of starvation SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 190 rests upon the homes and on the women and children. The ardent patriotism of the European peasant women is a model for the world. In August, HIM, the call to arms found the harvest only half completed. Hut into the fields stepped the women, children and old men, and through the lonesome years since they have taken the places of those at the front. Nor does that terse, official message, “Killed in action” deter those noble women from their work, for those still left on the battle line must be supplied with food or tlie nation’s cause is lost. In the munition works ladies of high rank and women of the lower classes toil side by side. “The Colonel's lady and Judy O’Grady” become sisters in a common cause, and hand in hand with each walk starvation and death. Whenever nations are at war, they are in a large measure dependent upon neutral powers for sup- plies. Early in the war the United States was besieged with orders from the belligerents for food and munitions. Although willing, as a neutral nation, to supply both combatants, we found it impossible, because of the British blockade, to reach Germany. We therefore shipped to the Allies only, and thus, although re- maining strictly neutral, we were assisting them materially. Great as our opportunity has been as a neutral nation, it is vastly enhanced now that we have joined the Allies in the cause of democracy. By sending our troops to help repel the invasion of I 'ranee, we shall cancel our debt of 1770, when French forces aided us in like manner. Neither French nor Americans have forgotten that time in the infancy of our republic, as is shown by the words of an American aviator who gave his life for France: I pay my part for Lafayette and Kochambeau.” By supplying our allies with money, food, and munitions, we have gained their fervent gratitude and respect. We know that all Europe is working at top speed to furnish these supplies, and yet the demand is greater than the output. America, with her vast resources, is in- valuable to her allies. There is a place for every patriotic American; some in the factories and some at the front: some on the farm and others carrying on the everyday affairs of business, but all working for humanity and democracy. The most terrible feature of the war. and that which will make it forever a blot on history’s page, is that it is a mistake. Long ago individuals found a better way to accomplish purposes and to settle disputes. It has ceased to be thought an interference with personal privilege when the policeman separates and arrests two men fighting in the street. We read with wondering horror of two statesmen facing each other in mortal com- bat. and Alexander Hamilton lay dead from the bullet of his antagonist. Aaron Burr, whose hand no law was sufficient to stay; yet today a war rends the earth which has no semblance of a “fair fight”; from the air above, from the depths of the sea the assassin’s death-dealing blows make the methods of the savage seem decent by compari- son. and no voice of international law cries “Hold” or echoes the voice from the skies, “Thou shalt not kill.” 1 repeat—the war is a mistake. W hen the smoke of battle has cleared away and the sword is abandoned for the plough, what must be done to improve conditions? The desirability of a permanent peace is being demonstrated to the world as never before. The uprooting of Prussian autocracy and militarism is only the first step. A satisfactory system of international gov- ernment must be devised, so invested with power that war will be thenceforth impossible. recent writer on this subject has said: “It had been thought that the pillars of society were re- ligion and culture and democracy; the church, the school, and enlightened public opinion. Evidently we were mistaken. Not these but brute force alone was the foundation upon which the towering structure of the state had been based. Paradoxi- cal as it may seem, the sills and girders of fear and force can no longer be trusted to bear the weight and stand the strain of modern sky-scraper states; new underpinnings of reason and justice operative in international relations must be sub- stituted if we would have the edifice endure.” This is not the time or place to discuss prob- lematically how this may be accomplished, but we may well consider what is the situation which will face us in the immediate future. Devastated by the dogs of war.” famine, sword, and pestilence, the world will need workers; waste and destruc- tion must be followed by re-building and restora- tion. The vast areas rendered unproductive by war. the splendid structures overthrown, the man- ufactories idle, must be reared anew. The for- tunate regions not directly involved in the great war will be taxed to the utmost to help and sup- port the suffering. The aid of the “common people,” the great army of the world’s workers, the trained hand and the trained brain, will be in demand. The common people are coming into their own. “Quietly as the march of the stars and as irresistibly, the corona- tion of the common people is drawing nigh.” Classmates, as other classes have stood upon the threshold, looking forward and outward into the world in which they must find a place and a task, so we stand at this hour. It is into no holiday world that we look. As never before, “Life is real, life is earnest,” and it is in no spirit of over- confidence or of boasting that we say: “The world hath need of us.” What do we bring to its need? What can we do? When the American submarine destroyers ar- rived at Queenstown. Admiral Sims was asked by SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 191 the commanders of the British flotilla: “When will you be ready for business?” “We can start at once,” was the prompt reply. The response sur- prised the British commander, and after making a tour of the destroyers he admitted they were pre- pared. “Yes,” said the American admiral. “We made preparations on the way over; that is why we are ready.” No better motto can we have at this time than Admiral Sims’ reply, “We can start at once.” We can start at once to prepare ourselves to accept whatever conditions the war of necessity brings to our lot. We can start at once to put more patriotism into our citizenship, to show more loyalty for our flag. We can start at once to do the duty for which we arc best fitted. ------------- Our Country LILLIAN M. BACHELDER, ’17-B CLASS POEM When our forefathers brought forth America, They made it a land of the free. Where Right, o’er Might, with Justice ruled. In peaceful unity. So. too. today America stands For Freedom o’er land and sea. Where all are equal, and ability rules, A true democracy. When three years ago, oppressed France Threw off her shackles of woe, And struck her first blow at the German State, America no favor did show. And when in England and Russia France found an alliance true, America said: “’Tis no quarrel of mine, Let time tell what’s best to do.” So all was well till that fateful day. When the Lusitania, on her way To England, was sunk off the Irish coast, A terrible answer to Germany’s boast, “That she could sink any ship on sight.” America gasped, and shook herself, Could she have heard aright? Did Germany really mean what she said, To trample on America’s rights? Our worthy President wrote a note Asking that submarine warfare be stopped, And in due time came the answer bold. “If your ships you wish to hold. Then keep them out of my way.” At last our patience reached an end. And a threat of war was added. Then came a message that all was well. That the submarine no more would dwell Off the coast, to prey on the merchant marine. America laughed, and prided herself! “Of course they would give in. Our country is Might, and all nations will yield, And Dow to her rather than fight.” 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Oh, yes, that was so, or so it seemed, And the country went back to its dreams, Hut alas, these dreams were soon to be shattered. For again did Germany take back her pledge, And the submarine came back on the sea. To prey on the harmless merchant marine. We well know what happened then, Of the “Break,” and the “Trouble” with Congress, And how our President armed the ships, In the hope that they might conquer. And now the “Draft Bill” has been passed, And our boys to France are going, To fight for America, our Mother so dear. With never a thought of shirking or fear, “Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, ‘This is my own. my native land!’ ” Is there in this vast throng about us, One whose pulse does not throb at these words, And whose heart does not beat, with a trip-ham- mer stroke, When this wonderful thought he has heard? If such there breathes, go mark him well,” Yea, mark him well, for what is he? Surely not one of us. For the man who loves not his country Is doomed forever to be Despised by himself, and hated by all, A curse to humanity. We are going out in the world today. With hearts full of hope and of joy, But before we go—let’s each to ourselves, Give this promise, each girl and each boy. “I’ll be true to thee, O America, first. For thou art the land of my birth. And thou. Alma Mater, will come next in my thoughts. For all that I know thou hast taught. And lastly. I'll ever be true to myself, With an honor that makes one sublime. I’ll do. and I’ll dare, with courage to bear, For that is what makes one divine.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «93 Class Ode HELEN M. CARR, 17-B [Tune: Maryland. My Maryland.”J As the sun at daylight peeps, Sending forth its golden rays. Its brilliant glory upward creeps Greeting new this day of days. Rise, proud worker, with a heart For the long-wished-for prize in store; Thou hast acted well thy part. Keep on toiling as before. The day lias come when we must part. But we still must onward go; Love and sadness in each heart Help to make us stronger grow. From tender care to fields unknown, We’ll take our way with right good will. But loving thoughts, and ne’er outgrown. Will bring us back to Somerville. As at twilight fades the sun. And silently, slow fades away; So. life’s battle being won. Ends for us life’s golden day. But. fond Mother, thoughts of thee Ever will our pathway cheer; Over land or over sea We will hold thy memory dear. ------.. --------- The West Wind LILLIAN M. BACHELDER, ’17-B The West Wind went on a frolic one niglu. And oh. what a frolic had he. He startled the elves at their moonlight dance. And caused them in haste to flee. Then what do you think that West Wind did? Was he sorry—oh, no, not he, Me only laughed. I am sorry to say, And rocked on his toes in glee. He blew iiis breath ’mid the cherry blooms. And knocked them down in a snowy stream. He kissed the violets who timidly peeped From beneath their coverlets of green. He chased the shadows all over the ground, And blew the clouds at his will. Oh. such a frolic as the West Wind had. As he set the world in a whirl. He scattered the papers all over the streets. He blew the girls’ skirts helter-skelter. Then laughed in glee, as he saw them flee. From the path of his windy temper. Then down by the ocean the West Wind went, He tossed maidens’ hair in the breeze, Made hills and vales on the silver sands, Then to the land he bade farewell, And out on the sea he sported. He rode the waves, and tossed the white loam Until tired, then laughingly turned, And blew himself home. And his doings to his brothers reported. Oh. the West Wind went on a frolic one night. And oh. what a frolic had he. I know, for he came the next night, And whispered this tale to me. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i'M The Camp Fire Girls Association DORIS E. HICKS, M7-B WHAT IT HAS DONE AND IS DOING FOR GIRLS. tiE Camp Eire Girls Association was formed by Mrs. Luther F. Gulick, but originally she had no intention of extending it beyond the limits of her own family. It grew out of her desire to give her girls the health, resourcefulness, knowledge, and love of nature to be gained only by living in the open. Consequently they camped every summer. When the oldest of their live children was twenty and the youngest nine, the girls were wanted at sum- mer camps, because they could do things. In order to keep the family together, the Gulicks formed the first camp, known as the “Sebago- Wohelo C amp.” In the spring of IDll. a meeting was held to consider the advisability of forming an organiza- tion to do for girls what the Boy Scouts was do- ing for boys. The next winter saw the beginning of the Camp Eire Girls Association with Mr. Luther Gulick as national president and a long list of prominent men and women on its Board of Directors. As to size, camps of between ten and fourteen members are advised. Many guardians think twelve the best working number. The camp to which I belong has twelve members and we have worked together very successfully. No camp can have less than six or more than twenty girls enrolled. To become a Camp Eire Girl one must be at least twelve years old. but. as far as I know, one cannot be too old to be a member. The ritual is based on the customs of the In- dians. There are three ranks—the Wood Gath- erer. the Eire Maker, and the Torch Bearer. Over all is the Guardian. To become a wood gatherer a girl must “(1) have been a member of a Camp Fire for at least two months; (2) have attended at least six weekly meetings and two ceremonial meetings; (3) have selected a name and symbol; (I) have made a head band; (5) have a ceremonial dress; ( ) have won at least ten elective honors: (?) have paid her an- nual dues.” 1'his is quoted from the manual. I shall also quote a few of the requirements for the other ranks. When the girl has completed the above, she receives the wood gatherer’s ring. This is a simple silver ring, bearing seven fagots, and on either side of the fagots three raised cir- cles. The fagots represent the seven points of the law and the circles the watchword of Camp Fire Girls. “Wohelo.” Wohelo is formed from the first two letters of work, health and love. The ring is worn on the little linger and is given the girl with an appropriate ceremony. The second rank, that of lire maker, is much harder to earn. In respect to actual work, it is the hardest rank to attain. A girl must be at least thirteen years old to become a lire maker, earn fourteen required honors and twenty elec- tive honors. A few of the required honors are : “To help prepare and serve, together with the other candidates, at least two meals for meetings ol the Camp Eire, this to include purchase of food, cooking, serving of meal and care of lire; to keep a written classified account of all money received and spent for at least one month; to know what to do in the following emergencies: (a) clothing on lire; (b) person in deep water who cannot swim, both in summer and through the ice in winter; (c) open cut; (d) frosted foot; (e) fainting ; to know the principles of element- ary bandaging and how to use surgeon’s plaster: to know and sing all the words of the national anthem.” There are nine other required honors all as hard and some harder than the above, but all practical things which the girl can use all her life. W hen she has fulfilled the requirements of a lire maker, she receives the lire maker’s brace- let. The third and last rank is the torch bearer. This is, of course, the hardest to attain, but the hardest part is that there is nothing which the girl can sit down and do except earn fifteen elec- tive honors. For the rest, to quote the manual directly. “The candidate must be at least fifteen years of age. and must be approved by the guar- dian as ready to bear the torch of life and light to guide others. It is not merely nor mainly a matter of winning the honors. To be made a torch bearer should really mean that the girl has shown powers of leadership. This is the most important qualification of the torch bearer.” For the rest the girl must be trustworthy, happy, un- selfish. a good leader, a good “team worker.” and liked bv the other girls. Some of these can, of course, be acquired by the girl if she does not already possess them, but others must be natural to her. Her badge is a pin. The guardian is an older woman who has had. of course, more experience than the girls. In tin language of the Camp Fire, she “guards the fire.” She must be at least twenty-one years old. The guardian is entitled to honors won before the Camp Eire was organized. The girls are not. Her badge is also a pin. but smaller than the DOROTHY HASKELL. Vice President of Senior Class. i«'Sephixe McCarthy. Chairman IMS-A Ivy Committee. WILD A CHI PM AX. Secretary of Senior Class. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 196 torch bearer’s. The guardian is responsible for the girls under her. To be a good guardian calls for many qualities. She should be deeply inter- ested in girls, and the work, a good leader, and most important of all. young at heart. She should be a girl with the girls. The “law of the fire” expresses in seven short statements the ideals of the Camp Fire Girls. It is: “Seek beauty, give service, pursue knowl- edge. be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, be happy.” If a girl grows up striving to follow this law. she can hardly help benefiting all who come in contact with her. Meetings are held once a week, in the after- noon or evening, as the girls choose. However they decide, it seems best to have one meeting a month, the ceremonial meeting, in tin evening. One meeting a moi;th must be a business meeting and the other two may be anything the girls choose. For Camp Fires who meet in the after- noon one of these is often devoted to a hike. In my own camp we have been taking up First Aid Work, and despite our propensity to frivolity, I think we have learned a little, though the test will come when we find ourselves face to face with an emergency. The most important meeting is the ceremonial meeting. It is then that the girls appear in full dress and sit on the floor. It is almost impossi- ble t« give an outsider the atmosphere of one of these meetings. Those who attended the Grand Council lore in Mechanics Hall know what they mean to the girls. First they march into a darkened room to slow, stately music, each girl pausing on the threshold and making the hand sign in response to the guardian. This is made by crossing the fingers of the right hand over those of the left to indicate the ascending smoke. When this is done the girls sit down in a circle on the floor and the ceremony proceeds. There are many interesting ceremonies, but I will not give them in detail. I am going to quote the Candle Lighting Ceremony and the Fire Maker’s Desire. Three candles are placed in a triangle in the centre of the circle of girls. The guardian or a torch bearer, if there is one, gives the first fire maker a taper. She kneels on one knee before one candle and says: “I light the light of work, for Wohelo means work.” She then stands and says:— “We glorify work, because through work we are free. We work to win. to conquer, to be masters. We work for the joy of working and because we are free. “Wohelo means Work.” She hands the taper to the torch bearer and re- turns to her place in the circle. The second fire maker takes her place. She kneels and says: “I light the light of health, for Wohelo means health.” After the candle is lighted she says:— “We hold on to health, because through health we serve and are happy. In caring ipr the health and beauty of our persons we are caring for the very shrine of the Great Spirit. “Wohelo means Health.” After receiving the taper the third girl says: “I light the light of love, for Wohelo means love.” And when the last candle is lighted says:— “We love love, for love is life, and light and joy and sweetness, and love is comrade- ship and motherhood, and fatherhood and all dear kinship. Love is the joy of service so deep that self is forgotten. “Wohelo means Love.” After this ceremony all the girls usually sing one of the songs, quite often “Wohelo for Aye.” fhe Fire Maker’s Desire is expressive of much that everyone, bov or girl, man or woman, might be better for following. “As fuel is brought to the fire So I purpose to bring My strength My ambition My heart’s desire My joy And my sorrow To the fire As my fathers have tended And my father’s fathers Since time began The fire that is called The love of man for man The love of man for God.” At these meetings the girls wear their cere- monial costumes. These are made of khaki. They are cut straight down with elbow sleeves and “V” neck. They are trimmed with fringe, usually leather. These gowns mean much to the girls. At first, says the manual, the girls decorated them only to make them pretty, but now no decoration has a place which does not mean something. In this way the gown comes t � be a beautiful record of the girl’s growth and it also records the happiest years of her life. In addition t the gown itself is the head band. This is made of beads, and though it is not required, many of the girls use for a design their symbols. Every girl must have a name and a svmbol before she can become a wood gatherer. The name is almost always an Indian name. If it is not, it is at least a combination of parts of words which when put together sound like an Indian name. With this name is a symbol. For instance. “Ta- teehopah” means “Happy Hostess.” and the girl who chose that took open gates for her symbol. The names and symbols usually represent some- thing for which the girl is striving. One girl chose the holly tree for her name and symbol. This tree is one of the evergreens and she wished MERRITT FARREX. Graduation Speaker. HAZEL CLOVES. Graduation Speaker. MILDREO STEER 12.

Several times 1 have mentioned the honors. These are wooden heads of dillcrent colors and shapes ami are earned by doing or learning how to do a great variety of things. The tlame col- ored heads are given for work in home craft. These are earned by cooking, preserving, care of sick person’s food, washing, ironing, making beds and so forth. Red heads stand for health craft. Under this head come first aid. sleeping out-of- doors. swimming, walking, boating and other helps to health. Camp craft has brown heads. This includes, among others, making tire without tire or matches, weaving a head band, knowing the meaning of weather signals, clouds, winds and temperature, erecting a tent, cooking in the open and lying ten standard knots. The brown beads are the prettiest and hardest to earn of all. Green beads are awarded for hand craft. A few of these honors are clay modeling, brass work, basketry, wood carving, knitting, sewing and embroidering. Nature lore is designated by blue beads. These can be earned by identifying flow- e’s. trees, ferns, grasses, mosses, birds, raising llowers. vegetables, bees or chickens; in fact any- thing to do with growing things comes under this head. The yellow beads represent business. Among these honors are saving ten per cent, of an allowance for three months, keeping bank ac- counts. not borrowing money, and money earned outside regular employment. Last, but not least, are the red, white and blue beads for patriotism. Social service, history of the girl's own locality, knowing Indian legends, dancing old-fashioned dances such as the Virginia reel, Portland Fancy, and Lady of the Lake, knowing her family his- tory a far back as her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, and attending church, arc a few of the honors under this head. The colors were chosen because each symbolizes best the particular craft it represents. Flame for home craft because fire is the centre of the home; red for health because fire is the color of good blood; brown for camp craft because wood is brown; green for hand craft as it represents growing things: blue for nature lore from the sky; business is yellow, from gold, and patriotism of course from Old Glory. I'« r the younger sisters and friends of the Camp Fire Girls between the ages of six and twelve a branch, of the organization known as the Blue Birds has been formed. The Blue Bird groups are called nests and many torch bearers fulfill one of their requirements by taking charge of a Nest. On April H. the Camp Fires of Greater Bos- ton held a Grand Council Fire in Mechanics Hall. It was a wonderful gathering. On the floor in seven circles around the imitation fire sat ap- proximately 3.0(H) girls. The last circle sat just under the balcony, and back of that were several rows of chairs filled for the most part with spec- tators. In the balcony nearly every seat was taken, showing the great interest felt by parents and friends in this good work. The program was ver impressive, but there were three especially interesting features. The first was the Camp Fire from the Perkins Institute for the Blind. They contributed three numbers, all of which were musical. The “Sunrise Song” by Miss Edith Matthew. , came first, the remainder of the camp acting as a chorus. Miss Matthews has a beau- tiful soprano voice, and her song was enthusias- tically applauded. Their camp was a part of the Newton section, which contributed the “Walking Song.” This is one of the motion songs and the blind girls sang while the others went through the motions. These girls also acted as chorus for the masque. “The Magic Uniform.” It was wonderful for we girls who could see to stop for a few moments and consider what girls who could not ce had done. We learned later that this (.’amp Fire has several fire makers, and that Miss Matthews is a torch hearer. The second feature of special interest was of vastly different character. This was the drill given hv the Minute Girls of Arlington. This is a branch of the association formed in July. 191 L in connection with the work the girls may be called upon to do during the war. Their cos- tume may very soon be used by all girls whether they are Camp Fire Girls or not. it is a simple white middy, red tie. and navy blue serge bloom- ers or plain navy blue serge skirt. The drilling was splendid, and I was surprised to see the girls execute several very hard manoeuvres perfectly, without either music or even counting. Last, but not least. Mr. Gulick spoke to us. Both he and his wife were present. She lighted a fire without matches, the first number on the program. Mr. Gulick gave 11s as nearly as pos- sible the contents of a telegram which he had sent to President Wilson a short time before, as- suring him of the help and co-operation of the Camp Fire Girls in the present crisis. Then he read President Wilson’s reply. I cannot remem- ber now what he said, but he thanked Mr. Gulick for his support. Mr. Gulick furthermore ex- plained several rules which he wished 11s to fol- low. A Camp Fire Girl should walk 100 miles a month. This, of course, includes walking to and from school and work, the balance to be made up on a weekly hike on Saturday of ten miles or more. On this hike each girl should learn one fact about the relative values of different foods, home economics, nature lore, and camp craft. Each girl should get sixty-three hours of sleep each week. He urged all girls to try to save one cent a day for each member of the family, ex- plaining what an enormous sum would soon ac- (Continuod on page 202.] itupitidJii ii i««ir xmojtHi ivv:-ij. : xu,vu: ui .s'iiiih 200 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Diana vs. Misogamy” ALICE CHEEVER, M7-B J' wasn’t that she had to, it was be- cause she wanted to and— These were Diana Chesterfield’s thoughts as she sat on the high stool in the old carriage-house. ’Midst pots of paint and general chaos, she ruled—a goddess upon a dunce’s chair. Diana had just finished the sign. Her three years at art school had enabled her to make a decidedly clever one, with red and white letters and cherry blossoms scattered here and there. It read “The Cherry-Blossom Tea Shop.” Yesterday Diana had hired the little store next to Crosby’s grocery, and with a pail, of white paint she had gone to work. By the time she had finished, the place was renovated inside and out. She had stenciled a frieze of wistaria around the top of the room. At the window she had hung cool-looking Japanese curtains. In short, Diana had created a Japanese fairyland. And now as she gazed at the sign from the depths of her deep blue eyes, she pondered. Everything would have been all right if Jimmy Bradbury hadn’t made that insinuating remark about his particular aversion to a girl who couldn’t earn her own living. Besides, she didn’t care a snap of her pretty fingers for Jimmy anyway. But you do,” argued a little voice way back in the recesses of her brain. “Oh. but I don’t, really,” pleaded Diana, “and besides he’s a renowned misogynist.” People talk,” fairly roared the insistent voice. “Let them,” said Diana, and with that she climbed down from her stool, gathered up her tools and sign, and proceeded t the front of the store. Here with hammer and nails she swung her Oriental sign in its destined place. And so Diana worked that day and for many days to come. Bv the time the little shop was ready for business the Lake View Hotel and the Mountain House were crowded with summer visitor . To them there was no greater pleasure than to spend a half hour in Diana Chesterfield’s delightful shop. On chilly days tea was served in the thinnest of china cups, at little rattan tables. On warmer days, however, cool drinks in long, slender glasses were the vogue. And Diana flitted about among the tables arrayed in a flow- ing Japanese robe and chrysanthemums in her dark brown hair. By the middle of August, Diana began to realize profits. As she made records in her ac- count book she reconsidered the problem of matrimony. Well, if Jimmy was a misogynist, as her conscience had reminded her, then she was a misogainisl. She. had shown men that she could do without them. Why, even now she was earning her own living. But Diana reck- oned without Fate, and so it happened that one hot September day Diana was meandering down the road that led from Hillsboro to Lawrence- viile in search of flowers. How dreadfully h.ot it was! The road blurred before her eyes. . . . The next thing she knew she was lying down and someone was applying something cool and soothing to her aching forehead. She sat up sud- denly. She was in a motor car and this someone was—Jimmy! As she sank back in rather dazed relief she could hear Jimmy murmuring how glad he was that he had found her and how everyone had been searching for her. . . . It took Diana just two weeks to recover from this attack. The doctor said that she was over- tired both physically and mentally and that the walk in the hot sun had not improved her condi- tion. fter Diana had recovered, she went back to her shop with a heart as light as ever. But be- fore long she found that the summer visitors were leaving and her profits were all dwindling away So it was that her knight came riding one day and f un l Diana in tears over her ac- count book. And then Diana heard something whispered in her little ear that sounded decidedly like a proposal. She heard Jimmy telling about his being a professional doctor now, and even though he didn’t have many patients, he had hopes. So it was that Diana let Jimmy rule her heart and you may be sure she was a very obedient patient. CHAMPION HOYS’ 1NTBRSCIIOLASTIC DKHATINO LEAGUE Jinny L, ,Moorc, President 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR What I Would Do with a Million Dollars IDA WEINBERG, ’18-B ILL money buy health, genius, friends, beauty, or a happy home? Many of the greatest and happiest and best of men have been very poor. Wordsworth and his sister lived for many years on thirty cents a week, and I believe it was one of tne happiest periods of his life. “Men with great fortunes ’ says Bacon, “are strangers to themselves, and while they are in the puzzle of business, have no time to attend to their health, either of mind or body.” If wisely used money may do much. Money gives us the means of acquiring what we wish. If fresh air. a good house, books, music, etc., are enjoyable, money will buy them; if leisure is an advantage, money enables us to take it; if seeing the world is delightful, it will pay for our journeys; if to help our friends to relieve those who are in distress is a privilege, money confers on us this great blessing. THE great thing is to use wealth wisely. It is not money, but the love of money which the Bible tells us is the root of all evil. If ! had a million dollars now, I would give one-third to my father, which would make his life much easier. Besides going to school, I would hire the best private tutors and would spend the largest portion of my time in studies in order to prepare myself for college in the shortest period of time; in the summer I would enter some school of philosophy, which 1 would enjoy very much. After completing my college course, I would go to France and Germany and enter one of the best universities of medicine and philosophy. After a few years’ training in Europe I would at last become the woman of the world; that does not mean the woman of societv, but the one that may give most aid to mankind. i would also spend a great part of my money on the best books of literature and philosophy, THE CAMP FIRE GIRLS ASSOCIATION [Continued from page 19s.] cumulate if every girl in the country did that. Last of all he asked the girls to adopt the Minute Girls Uniform. This will probably be asked of all girls. They will then be a living example of patriotism in red. white and blue. He closed by complimenting us on the work we had done that evening. It is the aim of the Camp Fire Girls Association to teach its members how to be strong, healthy, educated, womanly women. It strives to teach each girl to do her work no matter how much she dislikes it. In earning the honors the girl is fitting herself to be a success in life whether as a business woman, a professional woman or a which have always been my best friends, as George FImt, Dickens, Kuskin, William James, Spenser. Tolstoy, etc. But do not think for a moment that 1 have for- gotten those that did not have the opportunity t« have a million dollars, and just think of my family and myself. No, I would never be as self- ish as that. 1 would go out and see the ones that are in want of food, or clothing, or medical at- tendance. or rest and change of air. I would build the best hospitals and find such nurses as became nurses not for the sake of getting good money or a nice position, but the ones that be- come nurses only for the sake of sacrificing themselves for humanity, and who love their pro- fession with all their heart and soul. If I could not find all of them amongst the trained nurses, I would find girls with such char- acters and would give them the means for a proper training. hat about the poor crippled children that are also left motherless and fatherless, without a mother’s care and kiss that mean so much in childhood? I would certainly take care of them too. I would build the most comfortable homes and gymnasiums for them and see that much care should be given them, and instead of being crippled and sickly all their lives, they would grow up to be strong and healthy Americans. hat about the old and crippled men that stand on the corners, shivering with cold and hunger, selling pencils? I would buy all their pencils for a few hundred dollars and say: “Well, my man. you need not stay here any longer, you ought to stay at home and have proper rest and food.” And after having all my money spent. I would think of the following lines:— “What I saved. I lost; What I spent. 1 had: What I gave. I have.” homemaker. The association is absolutely non- sectarian and non-racial. A girl must be twelve years old for admission, that is all. Once she is in. some line must appeal to her in the vast num- ber offered her. Many of the beads are won by doing something, however slight, to benefit the community. This is. of course, the people, and in helping the girls to understand their duties and perform them the Camp Fire benefits the community. In the explanation of the organization of the Camp hires I have endeavored to show what the Camp Fire has done and is doing for girls. In describing a small part f the Grand Council Fire, I have tried to show what the Camp Fire means to girls now and what it may come to mean. SOMKIiVILLK HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Russell A. Cook, Conductor 204 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY Although the Debating Team this year did not win the championship, the society has by no means been inactive. The first meeting of the year was held on the first Monday in November. On ac- count of the late beginning of school, the trial de- bates were planned for at once. After five trial debates, each debate having a different set of girls, the finals were held in Room 222. Out of about twenty girls who came out for the team, the judges, five in all. chose the six girls and two alternates who were to contest with the debating teams of Newton and Brookline. Those chosen were:— Margaret Hailwood. ’18-B Reina Hadley. ’18-B Anna Fulton, ’18-B Lillian Trask, ’lb-B Dorothy Currie, ’18-B Helen Cameron McKinley. ’11-B The alternates were: Mildred Pcstell. ’18-B. and Bertha Kerner, ’18-B. One afternoon in December the Girls’ Debating Society of Brookline invited the Boys’ and Girls' Societies of Newton and Somerville to an enter- tainment and dance in the Brookline High School Hall. Our society acted as hostess the preced- ing year. February ! was the date set for the Annual Triangular Debate with Brookline and Newton. The subject chosen this year was: “Resolved, that California was justified in passing the Jap- anese Exclusion Acts.” Somerville was victorious over Newton at Somerville by a unanimous vote of the judges: but lost at Brookline by a vote of two to one in favor of Brookline. On March 11, lft 11, at the Boston Woman’s City Club. 40 Beacon street, members of the De- bating Team were given a banquet by the society. The guests were: Mr. Stephen H. Mahoney. Mr. George E. Pearson, Miss Smith, Miss Merrill. Miss Raymond. Miss Sprague, coach. Mr. Charles S. Clark. I leadmaster John A. Avery and Dorothy Haskell, president of the Girls’ Debating League. After the banquet. Miss Sprague showed the party over the clubhouse, and just before leaving, all registered. Because of the present crisis and spirit of patriotism throughout the country, it was decided not to hold a dance this year. At the final meeting of the society, the follow- ing girls were elected as officers for HM7-1 hi8: President. Reina Hadley; vice-president, Mar- garet Hailwood: secretary and treasurer. Anna Fulton. Miss Hadley also holds the position of secretary and treasurer of the league. Dorothy Haskell. President. JUNIOR NIGHT Junior Night for the classes of P.MS-B and lftlft-A was held on Friday evening.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Our High School Orchestra, under the leader- ship of Russell A. Cook, closed its season with an orchestral concert at the High School Auditorium, June 1. 11)17. This concert was a great success. The dif- ferent numbers—as all in the audience will testify —were executed perfectly and with a very high grade of skill. Miss Bella Ruff rendered a piano solo which was beyond all criticism. Miss Dorothy Dooling gave the audience one of her ex- quisite cornet solos. The entire program bore witness to the dili- gence and assiduity with which Conductor Russell Cook must have drilled his charges. It was worthy of the Somerville High School standard. r- ♦ -1 OFFICERS OF SENIOR CLASS. President. .Harry Moore; vice-president. Dorothy Haskell; secretary. Wilda Ohipman; treasurer. Harold Kolb. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 207 SENIORS: Eh bicn, Ic temps cst arrive! Finally we, too. like past classes, are leaving the portals of our cherished Alma Mater and going out into the world. I am not going to preach on how we have not taken advantage of our opportunity to get an ex- cellent education free—though I know that there is not one among 11s who could not improve his record were he given the chance. Let the past be buried and live in the glowing present. We have life before us. What are we going to do with it? We are graduating amidst unex- pected circumstances—nations are warring against nations, our own country included. That in it- self is enough to cause any one of us ample rea- son for being anxious to graduate—to move on and up—to find our place in the busy world—but we should have another thought in mind far superior even to that. . r The Editor at this time is glad to commend the Editorial Staff for their faithful work on the school paper. Mildred Steere, during the last two months, has contributed some excellent editorials and has given her time and labor to many other details of Radiator work. Amy E. Stone has produced a fine Exchange Column each month, never fail- ing to have all her material in punctually, too. The Sporting Column has been well held up by Arthur Gorham. The Alumni Column has been ably edited by Misses Homer, Slade and Stevens. “Ed” Derby, our energetic Business Manager, has done some real solid work, not only in secur- ing “ads.” for this year’s volume of the Radia- tor. but also in collecting last year’s unpaid debts, which amounted to a large sum. Parker Pillsbury and Donald Geddes have assisted Derby in his work. Staff Artist Kolb has spoken for himself. We of the Radiator Staff of 1916-17 tender our sincere appreciation to Miss Merrill and Mr. Hosmer of the faculty. Right here it may well be said that on these two members of the faculty falls the brunt of the work done at the be- ginning of each school year to get the paper started in the proper manner. Miss Merrill was of inestimable value to 11s and will be to all the succeeding staffs in “coaching them up” on their various duties. It may not seem difficult to make the Editor understand that he must attend to the literary end and not run around attempting to secure “ads.”—and that the Business Manager should let the literary part alone, and so on all through the staff members—but. nevertheless, it takes a com- petent. experienced “supervisor,” as it were, to make everything run smoothly and in its proper channel. Yet to Miss Merrill has fallen the ar- duous task of reducing all this chaos to order— and she did it. Mr. Hosmer. as very few in the school know, personally loaned the Radiator a large sum. with- out which we could not have produced a paper this year. He has likewise helped us out in many things all through the year. Mr. Hosmer is a man of the right sort, true blue, and your friend to the finish—ever ready to do all he can. and of sterling worth. Such as he make this little old world brighter. We end by wishing the incoming Radiator Staff the best of success and the hearty co-operation of the student body. We can only say: “Perge modo.” 208 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Farewell Meeting of the English Club The English Club, consisting of the honor pupils of the Somerville High School, held its last meeting on May 2!), 1!)17, closing the 1!)1G-I? term with a very attractive and inspiring pro- gram of seven patriotic numbers, each represent- ing one of our faithful allies in the present great world’s struggle. It has been the aim of the English Club to present at each of its monthly en- tertainments selections from a well known author not included in the group studied in the class- rooms. which has been a source of great enjoy- ment to the Club. In harmony with the present warring conditions, a more fitting pro- gram could not be presented. The meeting was opened by President Edward Derby, who pre- sented the following program :— In honor of our sister France, a double quar- tette rendered the French hymn, “Marseillaise.” Belgium was next represented by a poem: “To the Belgians,” read by Dudley Moore. A vocai selection entitled “The Garibaldi March” was rendered by Azerlea Pray in honor of Italy. Russia was then represented by selections by the Glee Club and Orchestra and a very unique read- ing of a Russian poem, read first in Russian and then translated into English by Goldie Fine. The concluding number of the representations of the seven allies was a tribute to America by John Martin, as “Uncle Sam,” who recited the well known poem entitled “The Awakening of America.” by Sam Walter Foss. Following, a group of original poems by several members of the English Club were presented which displayed the hearty co-operation of the pupils in matters of patriotic interest. They were as follows: “Patriotism,” by Vida Burhart: “America, Fair Play,” by Mildred Pestell, and “Three Flags.” by Winfield Brooks, delivered by Robert McPhail. The program was concluded by a very effective tableau with Madeline Brine, as Goddess of Liberty: Phillips Noyes, the Navy; and Chester Reynolds, the Army. t the close of the entertainment fruit punch and cakes were served, followed by dancing until five o’clock. K it m � SENIORS: Did any one of you ever stop to think that you. YOU, have sole charge of the guidance of a life,—a character—a soul,—in this sphere of existence? Quisque suos patimur manes. That’s a great thing, classmates, a won- derful thing. You can drag that life—that char- acter—that soul down to the lowest depths of degradation—or. on the contrary, you can lift and elevate it to the highest point of true success. In other words, each one of you is a free moral agent. You can do with yourselves what you will, but whatever you do—on your own head be the responsibility. It is an almost awe-inspiring thing to be entrusted with the guidance of a human life, Seniors. See that you guide it in the right path! Whether you go to France or on a farm, or stay in the city, each one will meet tempta- tions in one form or another. Conquer them— and you will never regret it! Now, as we leave the dear old school, let these words occupy our thoughts:— “Lives of great men all remind us, We may make our lives sublime; And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” imrjihv) '21iniu.� | „po KVHX TIYUACHM 210 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR r n =11 ini -ir=— ii SCHOOL NOTES 3 I :.'.zz:jl=e =11 inf==ii — m— 1917-B Editor.

Unfor- tunately no cups will be awarded on account of the war, but we expect to sec him come out on top in the patriotic tournament. A SUGGESTION. Those interested would be glad if the S. II.

On that date, Miss Sprague, Miss Hunt. Helen Harris. Evelyn Parker, Alice Padelford. Dorothy Dooling and Sadie Lyle were installed as charter members. The present offi- cers are: Reina Hadley, president; Evelyn Parkci, vice-president; Alice Padelford, secre- tary; Dorothy Dooling, treasurer, and Alice Cheever, conductor. Miss Harris, who was the first president of Alpha Theta Pi, as this sorority is called, moved to Springfield in March. 1917, and so was unable to continue in her office. One of the faculty members, Miss Hunt, left the city at the beginning of the school year and for that reason was not here to take part in the work of the sorority. At present there are twenty-four members, of whom eleven are Seniors. Dances were given by the sorority on the following dates; October 2 1. November 22. 191(5. May 11, 1917, and May 19. On January 2H, a masquerade was held at Eitzedward Hungalow, and at the same hall on March . a summer party was en- joyed by all who were able to plough through the snow to reach the dance. At Flemming Hall, on April 20. a chafing dish party was given for the members. All the sisters agree that their first year has been a most successful one and feel that they have gained a place among the social organizations of the school. ---o---- ALPHA ZETA PHI i he Aiphi Zeta Phi Fraternity was organized March in. 1917. the purpose of which was not only t«. promote unity, friendship and brother- hood among its members, but chiefly to abolish class distinction. Starting with a charter mem- bership of eight, it has grown by leaps and bounds, having at the present time an active membership of forty. It elected for its first president. George F. Jones, a member of the Senior class. Alphi Zeta Phi Fraternity numbers among its members Philip Sherman. William Baldwin, Walter I ronin. Albert Roche, Samuel Bent, Hor- ace Hayward. Joseph McCarthy and many more active in the different organizations of the school. 1‘he first public affair undertaken by the fra- ternity was in the form of a dance which was held at the Heinemann House on Thursday evening. May 17. It proved to be one of the most successful affairs in the history of the Heinemann House. Novelties in the form of pa- triotic numbers and exhibition dancing proved added attractions. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Avery and Mr. and Mrs. Everett V. Tuttle acted as matrons and patrons. To them the fraternity wishes to extend, publicly, their heartiest thanks for their giving freely of their time to act in this capacity. As a closing word, the fraternity, as one, wishes to pledge itself in support of any activity undertaken by the school and to offer Mr. Avery its earnest co-operation and untiring efforts in any way and at any time that he shall wish it. ----------------------o--- OMICRON PI SIGMA The first year of Omicron Pi Sigma Fraternity in Somerville has been a great success for Psi Chapter. In October, the fraternity was in- stalled in the large house on Spring Hill in which many enjoyable functions have been held. De- cember is. a dance was held in Heinemann House. This was followed on February 9 bv a minstrel show and dance in the High School Hall. Both were financial and social successes. Several private dances and parties have also been held, i he final event of the year was the annual ban- quet held at the Thorndike Hotel. The influx of new members of a high calibre promises a prosperous future. Psi Chapter has been extremely fortunate in having occasional visitors from neighboring chapters, whose advice and aid have been of great service. GAMMA ETA KAPPA Gamma Eta Kappa has had a very successful season, i he socials opened with two bungalow parties. '1 Ins was followed by the annual formal dance at Heinemann’s. More than 100 couples were present, many of whom were home from college lor Christmas, making it a very happy re- union. A very successful cabaret and dance later was hc;d in the High School Hall, one-half the proceeds of which were given to the Red Cross. Gambia Eta Kappa, being the only young men’s patriotic organization in America, sent a telegram to President Wilson at the outbreak of the war. stating that the whole national or- ganization was ready to do its part whenever needed. The war was brought very close to the hearts of all when five Geks sailed for France. I hree others are to sail soon. Four more en- listed in the naval reserve, while half a dozen more are helping to produce food for us all. and to crown all bought two Liberty bonds.

There seemed to be a great tendency of all the players to break training, some not caring enough, not having manhood enough to start training. Of course the loss of Captain Deacon the first of the season was somewhat of a blow to the team, but there was no need of dropping all. It seems that with some of our athletes honor is a lost art and that smoking and other vices which help destroy a ball player's good qualities are their only ambition. TABLES ARE TURNED On May 0, Rindgc Tech turned the tables on Somerville by defeating them by a score of 4 to 2. It seems as if Somerville is always doomed when it goes to Russell Field, for since the field has been built Somerville has never won a game there. Tom pitched a great game. Rindgc getting only one scratch hit from him. but poor inficlding lost the game for his team. Captain Deacon was un- able to play on account of the age limit ruling, which disqualifies players twenty or over. Somerville got nine hits, not a man fanned, and seventeen men were left on the bases. In the fourth inning Crowley gave four bases on balls, but onlv one run was scored. R1XDGE TECH.

The Somerville team has shown a good deal of improvement re- cently and if they can keep it up will be school- boy beaters. BOWS TO EVERETT There was something violently wrong with the Somerville aggregation on May 19, for Everett got to Tom and combined with the six errors of his teammates gave the game to Everett. Som- erville hitting was timely in the fifth inning, but at other times it was very poor. The Everett infield was full of ginger in cov- ering ground and made stops of many balls that were due for hits. Hill found McGrath for three hits, two three-baggers and one two-bagger. Kelley of Somerville also got three good bingles. Summary:— EVERETT. Flanagan, r. f a.b. b.h.

Boston College High had. up to the time of the game, a bid in for the best high school nine around Boston, but afterwards— The Somerville infield showed up fairly well, but suffered the loss of “Bud” Shea after the game. ANOTHER LEAGUE VICTORY In the most interesting and well played game of the year Somerville defeated Malden by a score of 1 to o. Rouse, of Malden, only allowed two hits and showed great form. Both teams had one error, both fumbled in the infield, neither affecting the score. Biglcy and Kelleher, of Malden, both made great one-hand stops which prevented their opponents from scoring. Kelleher. of Somerville, struck out nine men and passed one. his best day’s work for a long time. Bent starred also for Somerville and saved the score from being tied by a quick return to the plate in the fifth. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. a.b. b.h. p.o. a. e.

MEDFORD AGAIN THE VICTOR With the biggest crowd of the year gathered at the Stadium, Somerville on May 30 lost to Medford. The victory gave the Medford team the Suburban League title, the sixth in nine years. Somerville blew up completely in the third in- ning. Medford scoring five runs! Out- side of this inning they were unable to score although they found McGrath for some good bingles. Stronger work at third and short would have saved the score from going so high. Somerville’s lone run came in the ninth, after Kelley had doubled. The summary:— MEDFORD. a.b. b.h. p.o. a. Early, lb 0 12 0 Ballou. 3b .... 5 1 0 4 P.

FROM FIRST TO THIRD Well. Medford has picked the berries again! What does it? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 227 Shea and Deacon both dropped great luck! It is astonishing to the out-of-town fans as to how Cupid is so fast on his feet. Keep it up, “Cupe.” Well, this year brought out one new find, Bent at third. Kelleher has surely done great work for the team this year, participating in every contest and hitting for a good timely average. Nothing to do until next fall. Lots of luck to the new sporting editor and his prodigies, whom he will write about. ♦ EXCHANGE NOTES [Continued from page 2si.] The Shuttle—High School of Practical Arts, Boston, Mass.
