SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 23 1919-B Editor, Franklin F. Doten. Assistant Editor, Madeline Kelley. 1919-B is off with a flying start, having Treat, Riordan, Stevens and Paasche playing on the regular football team. Keep it up! We also have Avery, Baldwin, Calkin, and Hopkins in the squad. Many of our members heard the call for war service by farming. Those sent officially from the school were: Edward Sharky, Lawrence Rus- sell, Herbert Treat, Roger Estey, William Bald- win, Arthur Hurd, Arthur Rourke, and Edward Cook. Others who went independently are: Charles Kolb, William Hammond, Norman Ham- mond, Albert Murray, Frank Calkins, and Allan Kingston. We have lost, but not forgotten, our former class-mate, Perry Underhill. He has entered Tabor Academy on Cape Cod. We have several representatives in the orches- tra, but more are wanted. Those now playing are: Earl Myers, Doris Keddy, Harry Pearlman, Maynard Calkins, and Ted Fisher. The purpose of the class notes has been changed this year in an endeavor to eliminate use- less material in the form of class jokes. This year the columns will be devoted mostly to news items, there was quite a swell.” The boys of the class, as a whole, spent their vacation in a useful manner as is proved by the following list of occupations they were in besides farming: Maynard Calkin, Bell-hop, Jaffrey, N. H. Morris Wood, Office-boy, Boston. William Du Brau, Usher, Olympia Theatre. Carleton Knox, chauffeur. George Keegan, Waiter, Kineo, Me. Franklin Doten, Waiter, Lake Winnepesaukee. Raymond Brinig, Ai Machinist. Hona Cohen, Machinist, East Boston. Melvin Cohen, Clerk and Bell-hop, Casco Camps, Me. Wellman Daniels, Exchange Trust, Boston. Arthur Carvili, Gentleman (?) of Leisure. Harpswell, Me. Edwin Powell, Cowboy (?), Watertown. Rooms 209 and 2 10 are to have a short en- tertainment in the Girls’ Gymnasium the last part of October. By the number of nomination papers passed about in our class, it is evident that the teller for 1919-B was busy. Boys! Graduation leaves open four positions on the debating team and two positions as al- ternates. You have the opportunity. Prolit by it! The Glee Clubs have reorganized with bright prospects. Help them and yourselves by joining early. The East Building is keeping up to its former standard by not sending one note in for this issue. Where are your representatives? Elect them over again, and wake them up! A—y (Translating) : ‘‘The joyous men plough- ing the seas with their bronzed beaks.” Mr. Wil—s: “If they were Romans I imagine

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR - - The same silent partner—the East building. Let’s hear more from you. Room 202 is well represented in the Orchestra by— Elmassion—leader. Dorothy Morris—cornetist. Marjorie Maxwell—’cellist. Vida Burhart attended the McDowell School of Dressmaking during the summer months. Aha! Preparedness! Bell-hopping is the popular summer pastime of Div. D. Six of our number having been bell- hops: Dave Hill, Fred Noyes, Sloane, Coaker, Westland, and Sherman. Our first poem (?)—and probably our last. As Mac and Jo in fierce dispute engage, And face to face the noisy contest wage, Don’t cock your chin at me!” Mac hotly cries; “Fear not, his head’s not charged!” a friend re- plies. Try your hand at it. Room 222 is well represented on the foot- ball team by Conlon, Young, Canniff, and Mc- Grath. Allen, Eliot, Geddes, and Binney have gone to Exeter. “Bill” Moore, candidate for president, worked «11 Exchange Trust Bank. Dip the great ocean dry with a teaspoon, twist your heel into the toe of your shoe, shingle the roof of your mouth, paste “To Let” on the sun, get astride a broomstick and chase a comet or fish for stars, choke a mosquito with a brick, hold Gibraltar at arm’s length, lasso an avalanche, catch a thunderbolt in your hat; in short do all things heretofore considered impossible, but never try to get a Radiator note out of a Senior girl. We know. H—ch—ns: “I am sure of it. I would even bet my ears on it.” N—t—on: “You shouldn’t carry betting to such extreme lengths.” What is the difference between a confirmed drunkard and the girls who congregate around the mirror outside 2 15. As far as we can see they are very similar. Neither can get enough of the glass. Even among the girls, the tendency has been to work this summer. Dorothy Currie worked at Sagamore Lodge. Beatrice Marston worked in Esselin’s Art Store, Boston. A strange thing. The room assistants never say a word about themselves. N—r—s: “Did you pull my nose in earnest? ” H—1—n: “Sure, I did.” N—r—s: “It’s well you did, for I don’t al- low anybody to joke with me that way.” The only thing that will keep students out of the hall is the sign,— “Whoever is found trespassing on these prem- ises shall be shot and prosecuted.” It takes the finger bones of the knuckle only to knock, but it takes the strength of the whole shoulder to boost. Make the column better next time. Remember you have a Radiator representa- tive in every room. 1919-A Editor, Norman Eddy. Classmates! We stand at the threshold of becoming Seniors. In fact many of us are Sen- iors inasmuch as we will graduate next June. Let us then have a column which will be worthy of such an exalted position, both in quality and quantity. Each one of us should make it a point of honor to pass in at least one note each month. Among the various occupations engaged in by members of our class during the summer were: Farming, candy-making, hotel work, poultry- raising, office work, orchestra playing, druggist, roofing, beach amusements and that ever popular occupation, doing nothing. Coyne carries visible marks of his membership on the football team. Some eye! “Bob.”

24 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1920-A Editor, Winthrop H. Root. Assistant Editor, Miss Margaret McGill. ? ■ We are very sorry to announce that Miss Hitchcock has left our class and the High School. She is now in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, and is doing very well in the High School there. We are also very sorry to say that Miss Marden has left our class also. She is in Brookline, Mass. This has been a great loss to our class. Cord has changed his course from the College to the General. In this way, also, we have lost a very popular class member. We have also lost Price, one of our members. He has changed into a Junior class. We are sure he will succeed in this class as he had already done in ours. The four room representatives for 1920-A are as follows: 309 Miss McGill. 310 Miss Doris Campbell. 328 Vernon York. 1 15 Miss Vivian Hunter. This month’s column is not very large, partly because it is the first issue of the Radiator after the summer vacation, and partly because the room representatives are not used to their work and had no time to prepare. Do not let the column remain as small as this. Let us help the representatives, and do not let them do all the work. Is this your motto? Veni! Vidi! Victus sum! 1920-B Editor, James Murray. Heard in 1l-A Geom. A. Mr. Tuttle: “Those of you at the blackboard listen to what I’m saying with one ear and work with the other.” The following was contributed to the Class Editor: Was It You? Someone started the whole day wrong— Was it you? Someone robbed the day of its song— Was it you? Early this morning someone frowned; Someone sulked until others scowled, And soon harsh words were passed around— Was it you? Someone started the day aright— Was it you? Someone made it happy and bright— Was it you? Early this morning, we are told, Someone smiled, and all through the day This smile encouraged young and old— Was it you? Notice. Important.
