SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 212998 A STRANGE EXPERIENCE Beatrice Sweet, ’21 It was a cold, rainy night, and father built a fire in the wide fireplace of the little cottage. Our family had hardly settled around the blazing logs when we heard a knock at the door. The visitor proved to be Mr. Towning, a jolly, middle-aged gen- tleman, widely known on the beach for his genial ways and story-telling talents. We welcomed him cordially and made way for him at the fireside. The conversation turned to the old cottages in Gloucester (the beach where we were spending the sum- mer.) “I had a strange experience in one of the oldest houses in Gloucester,” said Mr. Towning. “It is a long story, however, and I fear it would bore you—” “Oh, please,” I broke in, “do tell us! We would love to hear it.” To hear a story from this man was indeed a pleasure. “There is an old house,” he began, “near Folly Cape in Gloucester, where a Puritan family lived in the seventeenth century. It is used now for an annex to the B— Hotel, and many visitors go there simply for the historic value of the place. I spent a week in this house two summers ago. One night during my stay I found it impossible to sleep. I arose, and, thinking to while away the time, picked up a pamphlet from the table. This pamphlet told the history of the annex. It seemed that a Puritan family had lived in the house many years before. The father had been a stern Puritan, and the mother a meek, gentle little woman who dared not cross the will of her husband. There was also a daughter, Mercy Dan- forth, a high-spirited young woman who had a great passion for finery. Mercy’s father forbade gewgaws of any kind, which made Mercy very unhappy. Mercy had a lover, also forbidden by her father, whom she met clandestinely outside her house. This lover brought her a pair of fine kid gloves. The very night she was given them, her father discovered the poor girl with the gloves in her hand. In a fit of rage, he threw the offending articles into the fire. Then there followed angry words between the testy old gentleman and his daughter, after which Mercy ran from the house and threw herself into the water off Folly Cape and was drowned. It was half-past two when I finished the little story. Suddenly I heard a short, dis- tinct, scraping sound. It stopped. I wait- ed tentatively. Again I heard it. Fold- ing my dressing-gown around me, I opened my door and stepped into the hall. At the end of the corridor I descried a woman. She started to descend the stairs. Startled and suspicious I walked quickly after her. At the head of the stairs I peered over the banister. The figure had reached the foot of the staircase. The moon sent light enough through the front door glass so that I could see that the figure, girlish and slender, was clad in an old-fashioned Quaker gown, over which a long, dark cape was thrown. The girl was standing before a long mirror, and was trying on an elab- orate picture-hat. A cold chill trembled down my spine. The girl’s costume was of another age, but the hat—that flower-laden creation—was a modern hat. I wondered, I puzzled, I pinched my arm to see if I was asleep—but no, this scene was real! I leaned weakly against the balustrade, and at once froze into an upright position again. A ray of dawn shot through the glass, and the girl at the foot of the stairs started and sighed audibly. Then, without seeming to have moved, she was on the staircase trav- eling upward airily, deliberately, mystically. I looked about frantically—I must find a hiding-place, I thought. I saw an open door in the wall and darted in. Gad! I shall never forget those next few moments! My eyes were glazed. My hands were like cakes of ice. The fig- ure had stopped in front of the closet. For an instant I saw the face. It was a ghastly, 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ashen-white face, with large, agonized, burning eyes and a bitter smile. I think that it was then that I became semi-con- scious. As in a trance, I saw the hat in her hands. I saw her face vanish, the body, and finally only its hands remained. The hands thrust the hat into the opening where it fell at my feet. The ghastly hands then pushed the oak panel in place. After a few moments of complete stupe- faction, I roused myself and stumbled to my room. Some three or four hours later I solved the problem of the hat as I sat trying to puzzle out the tangle. At the time that I was at the inn, there was a lady living there, who had worn that very hat to a garden party. The next night, she had told me that the hat had strangely disappeared. This, then, was 'Hie hat which had disap- peared. without a doubt. These events seemed so absurd, that I began to feel my- self living in a veritable land of mystery! In the morning 1 told my story to the hotel guests. When I had finished, a young scientist spoke up. He said that it was very evident I couldn’t have been dream- ing, so there was only one answer to the problem. “Don’t you see,” he continued, “that this is a case of the materialization of a spirit? Absurd theory, but the only one that can be made. I connect it with the history of this house with which you are all familiar. The finery-loving Quaker girl materializes in the night, after the established customs of ghosts. She finds Mrs. Harrington’s beautiful hat and steals it, hiding it day- times behind the oaken panel, where Mr. Towning hid.” “So,” said Mr. Towning, “I was forced to draw that conclusion, for it has never been explained otherwise. That is certainly the strangest experience I have ever under- gone,” he concluded. We all agreed with Mr. Towning that the story was most strange. And as the rain pattered noisily on the roof of the little cot- tage, I peered fearfully into the dark cor- ners of the room, half expecting to sec— the young Quaker girl with her white face framed by the picture hat! THE KIND-HEARTED MEDDLER Josephine E. Murphy, ’21 Miss Matilda Gifford kept a little bakery on the corner, the one where you go down a few steps and the bell tinkles when you open the door. Miss Matilda was thirty-five; she pos- sessed a bank book with a credit of two thousand dollars, kind gray eyes and a very sympathetic heart. Two or three times a week a customer came in, in whom she became interested. This was a middle-aged man wearing spec- tacles. His beard, slightly gray, was neatly trimmed. He spoke English with a French accent. His clothes were worn and darned in places, but he was neat and had excellent manners. His purchases always amounted to two stale loaves. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf. The stale loaves were two for five. One day Miss Matilda saw a- reddish brown stain on his finger, and then and there she decided that he was an artist and very poor—no doubt he lived in a garret and ate stale bread. As said before, Miss Matilda had a very sympathetic heart and she could not help thinking of the poor artist eating his lonely meal of stale bread. In order to prove the theory as to his occupation, she took from her room a paint- ing that she had bought at a sale, and laid it against the shelves behind the bread coun- ter. It was 'a Venetian scene, and she thought no artist could fail to see it. Two days later the artist came in and asked for ffie stale bread, as usual. “You have here a fine picture, madame,” he said while she was wrapping up the bread. “Yes?” said Miss Matilda, smiling gracious- ly. “I do so admire art and painting.” “Ze balance is not in good drawing and zc shad- ing are too dark.” So saying, he took his par- cel and hurried out. “Yes,” Miss Matilda thought, “he must be an artist,” and she took the picture back to her room. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 After this when he came he would chat for a while across the counter. But he kept on buying stale bread; never cake; never a pie. She thought he looked thin and pale, and she longed to add something to his small purchase. But she did not dare. She knew the pride of artists! One day the usual customer came in and laid his nickel on the counter, and called for the stale loaves. While Miss Matilda was reaching for them a fire engine clanged by and the artist moved toward the door as a person naturally will. On the bottom shelf was a fresh pound of butter left by the dairyman, and with a knife she made a cut in each loaf and in- serted a large piece of butter, and when the artist returned to the counter she was doing up the bread. When he had gone she won- dered if she had been too bold. For a long time her mind dwelt on the subject. He would prepare for his lunch of dry bread, He would slice into a loaf and then—oh! The front door bell jangled viciously. Some- one was coming in, making a great deal of noise. She hurried to the store. Two men were there. One was a young man whom she had never seen before, and the other was the artist. His face was very red and his hair was rumpled. His fists were clenched, and he was shaking them at no other person than Miss Matilda, and he was muttering strange French words she had never heard before. The other man tried to draw him away. “No, I will not go until I told her,” and so saying he pounded on the showcase window. “You have spoilt me, you meddling woman!” Miss Matilda leaned weakly against the shelves. The young man took the other by the collar and led him out. Returning, he said, “I suppose you want to know what the row is about. This man is an architectural draftsman. I work in his office. For many months he has been making plans for a new city hall. He had finished inking the lines yesterday. You know a draftsman always makes his draw- ing in pencil first. Then when it is done he rubs out the pencil lines with handfuls of stale bread crumbs. It’s better than rubber. He has been buying the bread here, and, well, today—well, you know butter—oh, well, his plan is simply no good now.” And poor Miss Matilda is now heard to sigh, “Oh! the ingratitude of men!” KAPPA ALPHA PI Gamma Alpha chapter has begun another school year in the same whirlwind fashion that has been characteristic of the fraternity in former years. A dancing party was given at the Heincmann House on October 9, and was a success both socially and finan- cially. All of the seventy-six brothers who were in the service, a record of which we are proud, have returned with new ideas to bring us into closer brotherhood and co-op- eration. As has always been the case, “Kappa” is well represented on the football squad by Captain “Jack” Reardon, “Steve” Patten, George Dowd, “Nick” Chase, and “Jim” Ryan. Dowd is now out of the squad, as he broke his collarbone at practice. The last school year was one of the most successful in the history of the chapter. A small dance at Grantunbry Bungalow on December 7, 1918, a bungalow party at Fitzedward Bungalow on February 13, 1919, and a large dance at the Heinemann House on May 8, 1919, completed the so- cial events of the year. These were all a great success, both socially and financially. Kappa Alpha Pi hopes that the activi- ties of the coming year will bring the fra- ternities into closer co-operation with each other, and with the faculty, and also wishes to pledge its support of the faculty for the coming year. At a meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Council of 1919, the following rule was passed: “No recognized fraternity in Som- erville High School shall pledge a man be- fore the issuing of . the second report card of his sophomore year.” 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS Vacation is over and vvc arc once more taking up our tasks in school, preparing ourselves for our life'work. The schools have opened at the regular time. No epi- demic of infantile paralysis is threatening the children of our country, and no pesti- lence holds the country in its jaws, devouring hundreds of thousands of our nation’s best. The cruel war, which for four long years held the world in a merciless grip, destroy- ing millions of brave, young lives, ruining hundreds of happy homes, and wiping out millions of dollars worth of property, is now a thing of the past. Germany, instead of fulfilling her boast of conquering the whole world, has met a most crushing de- feat. Yes, the war is over, but the world is by no means at peace. In Russia and Ger- many, Bolshevism rules with its bloody sceptre. In many of the other European countries the governments are constantly changing. The affairs of Japan and China are in upheaval. This world-wide feeling of unrest pervades even democratic United States and England. In the United States we are threatened with Bolshevism. A well-known editor has said that “Bolshe- vism is no longer a specter in the United States. Boston in chaos reveals its sinister substance.” And this condition of affairs, although vividly portrayed in Boston at the present time, has spread throughout the whole of our great country. What is it but Bolshevism without blodshed when a few thousand electric car operators are allowed to strike and tie up a city of hundreds of thousands, for entirely selfish ends? Sev- eral of the great cities of this country have been tied up in this way. Coal miners’ strikes; steel workers’ strikes; woolen work- ers’ strikes;—strikes of a hundred different kinds all add to the critical condition of the country. The great police strike in Bos- ton is treason. No doubt the men had grievances, but they had no right to strike. Using the words of His Excellency, the Governor of Massachusetts, “The men are deserters. This is not a strike. The men were public officials. The desertion of these men furnished the opportunity; the criminal element furnished the action. There is no right to strike against the pub- lic safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.” A cartoonist in a prominent newspaper rep- resents disorder, crime, and violence wel- coming the striking policemen as their ally. But the striking policemen in Boston are beginning to realize that they had to deal with a strong man when they came into conflict with Governor Coolidge. As they see the new police force being organized they will realize even more that they have committed an act which is more than mere child’s play, and they must realize that some other move would have been better than de- serting their posts in such a critical time as the present. With this great feeling of unrest pervad- ing our country, it is the duty of each one of us to work our hardest and to do all within our power to stamp out the awful be- ginnings of Bolshevism. Therefore, schoolmates, let us get together, study hard, and prove that we stand for true Americanism, not letting outside affairs turn us aside from our daily task. We arc glad to announce to the school that in spite of the high cost of publication, we hope to be able to return to our old style of coated paper, without advancing the price of subscription. Don’t fail to get a copy or two of the “Radiator” each month. The “Radiator” staff wish to thank the teachers and pupils who so willingly helped in our subscription campaign. On Wednesday, November 3, Colonel C. H. French will give one of his famous illus- trated lectures, for the benefit of the “Ra- diator.” In this lecture, entitled “Rome,” he will build Rome before your very eyes, in a most wonderful way. He pictures the city from its very beginning up to the pres- ent day. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 Colonel French has spent altogether fif- teen months in Rome, taking these pictures. He has made three complete tours of the world. His collection of ten thousand slides is the largest of its kind in the world. He also has a collection of about thirteen thousand feet of motion picture films. Colonel French took all of the pictures for the slides himself, which makes his lectures doubly interesting. He is the only man in his profession who lectures to adults and to school children as well. All who have heard Colonel French will be glad to hear him again, because they know what an excellent and interesting speaker he is. Those who have never heard him have missed a great deal. All are invited to attend this entertain- ment. Tickets will be io cents and will be on sale later. Remember. Colonel French, High School Hall. 2 P.M., Wednesday, No- vember 3!

Mr. Hall graduated from Woburn High School and from Knox Col- lege (111.). He did post-graduate work at Harvard. He has taught in Oak Bluffs, Mass., Hanover, Mass., and in Woodstock, Conn. OMICRON PI SIGMA Psi Chapter of Omicron Pi Sigma Fra- ternity is entering into one of its most suc- cessful years. Never before has the out- look appeared more bright and promising. We are aiming to maintain the high stand- ard which our graduated brothers strove hard to acquire and hold. Sadly do we miss the familiar faces of our brothers of the class of nineteen hundred and nineteen. Many of them have entered higher institu- tions. To them we send our best wishes for success. Upon us who remain, falls the task of choosing those who are to enter into our circle. May we be able to do this with the clearest of foresight so that only those who will uphold the true principles of man- hood and fraternalism can enter. Co-operation with the school and faculty is our object. Second to this is the promot- ing of. the social side of school life. Social gatherings will be held several times during the year. Included in these is a dance which will be held November 26, the night before Thanksgiving at the Hienc- man House. 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7VOTZS OF THE A LVMNI CATTPBEL.L-08 1919 Gertrude Barker, Louise Woods and Dor- othy Sawver are attending Boston Normal Art School.

I was fairly taken off my feet by her enthusiastic replay, and right then I discovered she was a so- called “book-worm,” and loved books better than anything else. I told her she could make herself at home and that she could find books of all kinds to entertain her. room, the beautiful pictures of the Holy Grail, by Edwin Abbey, the neat rows of books, orderly tables, and last, but far from least, the flowers in the vases about the room. It did look very charming, and best of all it happened at the particular time to be filled with boys and girls reading, which showed the pupils found it attractive, too. My friend said she was surprised to find so many different kinds of books, for instance, she found books on special shelves, labeled: W' xceading. riome Economics. Vocations. Literature. Biography. Drama. Commerce and Industry. Community Civics. Reference Books. With my friend’s experience in mind I went to the library at the opening of school in September. Of course ill of us regret very much the loss of our ist year’s libra- rian, Miss Kneil, but Miss Miller gave me such a kind greeting it helped to make Miss Kneil's absence less noticeable. Miss Miller assisted Miss Kneil last year and so knows the ways of the school, and best of al is ready to help all boys and girls who come to her for advice about books and reading. After my talk with Miss Miller I wan- dered over to the periodical rack. “My! I see you have a good number of periodicals, Miss Miller.” “Yes, we have many very good maga- zines.” “Now, really and truly Miss Miller, do you think the scholars get much help from these magazines? That is, enough so that it pays to have them?” “Why, I should say most decidedly yes! Now in the study of science, the National and the Travel are very great helps, and in current events any pupil who has any am- bition can improve his work greatly by reading any of these five.” At this point she picked out the Independent, Literary Digest, Review of Reviews, World’s Work, and the Outlook. Then she continued, “The System, Popular Mechanics, and Scientific American, are nearly always in use, for they come under Useful Arts. Hardly a day passes but some girl comes in who is faking Domestic Science and wants to look over American Cookery. Then again, all the magazines I've mentioned are used in the preparation of oral themes. Yes, indeed, I surely do think the periodi- cals are a great help to the pupils.” I then went over to the Short Story rack. “What about story books, Miss Miller?” “We have some very interesting ones on this shelf just now, and I’m quite sure all the pupils haven’t read them,” said Miss Miller. She then pointed out six that she con- sidered most interesting, they were: The Day of Glory, by Dorothy Canfield, Cab- bages and King, by O’Henry, Captains All, by Jacob, Short Stories for High Schools, by Mikel, Harbor Tales, by Duncan, Mys- tery Tales, by Smith, and there are also some interesting stories by Kipling, Haw- thorne, and Poe. The library is open during school hours, and books may be taken out after school. I, for one, think it would be a great im- provement if all those who now “hang around” outside the library would go in and find something to interest them. How about it, classmates? 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EXCHANGES Isabel Carpenter, Class 1920 The exchange editor will be greatly pleased to have comments made on our “Radiator” through the exchange column. We intend to do our part in criticising other school papers. We hope other edi- tors will not be timid in commenting on us. Burns spoke wisely when he said, “Oh, wad some power the giftic gi’e us To see ourselves as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder frae us, And foolish notion.” It will be a positive help to learn just how we impress others. Of course, we know what we think of ourselves. The “Tripod”—Your June number is good as a whole, but, where arc your class notes? Your alumni notes far surpass your class notes. MY IMPRESSIONS OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL My impression of the Senior High School is a labyrinth of corridors, all built and looking the same, with smaller corridors leading off them, and a flight of stairs at every bend and turn. The only way I have of reaching my destination is to travel the length of one corridor, and if I do not find my room, to climb a flight of stairs, walk down another corridor until some kindly teacher or more worldly-wise first year pupil rescues me. The best way of getting around, if you are lost, is to walk quickly, never letting the knowledge that you are lost seem to dis- turb you. Look as if yvou know where you are going, and in time, by walking up one corridor and down another at a rapid rate you will reach your destination to find you have been following the wrong program and belong in your home room. ATHLETICS '0 00000 oojroootnroooooooofrooinnn 0 a 0otnwnrooooo 000 0 0 j The football season is here again and the warriors of the Red and Blue are ready to battle for the coming championship of the Suburban League. Our chances, how- ever. for that honor were in great danger at the opening of the football season because of the loss of our former coach, Cleo O'Donnell. The High School mourned the loss of this well-known coach, and the foot- ball squad was placed in a very critical sit- uation. We were very fortunate, however, in having a coach-captain who was capable of conducting the football squad until a coach was elected. Captain “Jack” Rear- don did wonderful work in managing his team, and the school owes many thanks to him. Football practice began the Monday after school opened, and many candidates reported at the Somerville recreation field to prove their ability as football players. Three squads were formed, and at the'time of the election of our new coach. George Sylvester MacLaughlin, two squads were ready to fight for positions on the regular team. This is the sort of spirit that the S. H. S. should keep up, and the only fair way to prove it is to attend all the games. OUR NEW COACH George Sylvester MacLaughlin was born in Somerville in 1882. He attended the Pope Grammar School, from which he grad- uated with the class of 1900. The follow- ing fall he entered the Somerville High School and graduated in the year of 1904. He then attended the Massachusetts Nor- mal Art School for one year, and entered Harvard University in the fall of 1905, and graduated in the class of 1909. Mr. Mac- Laughlin was considered not only a student but an athlete. He was captain of the Som- erville High football team in 1903, and in that year S. H. S. held the championship of the Suburban League. He was a mem- ber of the S. H. S. track team, being cap- tain of the team in 1902-03 While attending Harvard, Coach Mac- Laughlin played on all class teams and SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 played left half-back on the Varsity foot- ball team. The Somerville High School is very for- tunate in getting Mr. MacLaughlin as coach teacher. His work, both in the school and on the gridiron, is highly satis- factory to the school board. We all ought to be proud of Coach MacLaughlin, and to show it wc must back up his team by at- tending all games. FIRST GAME On October I, S. H. S. football team played its first practice game of the season with St. John’s “Prep” of Danvers. The result of the game was that Somerville proved to be too strong a team for the “Prep” boys. The line of Somerville was unbreakable, and our backs showed fine work by placing the ball behind their oppo- nents’ goal line five times. The game was only a practice game, and was played in order that Coach MacLaughlin might pick his regulars. The line-up was as follows: Lynch, O’Connell, l.e. Chase, r.e. Gilkey, Brandt, l.t.

INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS Jack Reardon, captain of the football team this year, has been “a regular” for the past two years, and he is doing his utmost to have a championship team. “Steve” Patten, a very prominent ath- lete, both in baseball and football, is play- ing quarter back on the football team this year. George Dowd, who is well known in the S. H. S., as a baseball and football player, is playing full back for the team this year. Pierce, who is one of our former football stars, is playing right tackle, and a great deal of confidence is placed in him to help keep the line firm. James MacNamara, football manager of the team in 1918, has come back to us, not as a manager, but as a real football player. He has been placed on the line as left guard. “Pat” Lynch, a football player on the second squad last season, has made a good fight for “end,” and he is expected to do some good work. “Nickey” Chase, one of last year’s veter- ans, is expected to do some snappy fighting on the line. “Tom” O’Connell, also a veteran, has been placed at right end. Horace Brandt, a new member of the Senior class, is welcomed back from the trenches, where he served in the Marines. Joseph Herlihy, who is also a veteran, is considered the regular guard on the right of the line. George Laverty, better known as “Rib,” and who proved a great success as a base- ball player, is showing great spirit on the football team, and the Coach has placed him in the back field as a half-back. “Bob” MacPhail, who has been out of school for the past two years, has made the regular team, and we feel sure of his help in making the S. H. S. football team a cham- pionship team. Warren Gilkey, a veteran star tackier of S. H. S. football team, is welcomed back on the gridiron this year. A MASS MEETING A mass meeting was held in the Assem- bly hall Wednesday morning, October 1, and Coach MacLaughlin gave his first talk to the school concerning the prospects of the coming football season. He empha- sized the fact that in order to keep the spirit of the players in normal condition they must be backed up by the school. ATLHETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association drive has just begun, and the returns show that there are many slackers in the school. Are you going to allow this sort of spirit to go? If not, make haste and place “two bits” in the treasury of the Association. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA number of players have already reported, The Somerville High School Orchestra but we have hopes of a larger number later, has started the season with a rush. A large The post of leader was left vacant by the 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR resignation of Roland Snow, who was elected last year. Snow has left the school to attend a military academy in New York where he will play the clarinet in their band. Malcolm P. Bergmann 1920, was elected to fill this office1. Mr. Bergmann has already gained some experience in directing, so that the prospects of a successful year look very bright, since the orchestra has a wealth of veteran material. ALPHA ZETA PHI Alpha Zeta Phi fraternity, beginning its fourth year, feels assured that its members are doing their best to promote the several activities of the school as well as to protect the law and order of our Commonwealth. Seven of our brothers, Johnston, Maxwell, Conley, Smith, Everett Fuller and Bert Fuller, are serving in the State Guard. In the way of social activities, we have held a most successful bungalow party, and expect to hold an entertainment and dance soon. We are turning the balance of our time, however, to school and fraternal ac- tivities other than social. We ask our fel- low organizations to be with us in assisting Brother Delaney to form a successful glee club, and Brother Fletcher in the debate. Standing ready at all times to give any fra- ternal or individual assistance to Mr. Avery and to the school, the Alpha Zeta Phi fra- ternity is entering upon what we expect to be the most successful year of our existence. The Phi Alpha sorority has held its first few meetings, and looks forward to a suc- cessful season. A dance at the FitzEdward Bungalow has already been planned for Oc- tober 17. Others will be held, and it is ex- pected that there arc many good times in store for the girls during the coming year. The members are: Miriam Ewart, presi- dent; Betty Haskell, treasurer ; Agnes Con- well, secreatry; Anna Corliss, Dorothy Miller, Helen Hudson. GAMMA ETA KAPPA FRATERNITY Gamma Eta Kappa begins the year with a strong active membership in the school. Several 'brothers who graduated last June are at the various colleges. Brother Estey is at Amherst, Doten and Coaker at Dart- mouth, Treat at Holy Cross, and Reed at Tufts. Brother Smith is at Exeter. A send-off party was held at Fitzedward bungalow to the Geks going away to school. Preliminary plans have already been made for a “big time” in December. ALPHA THETA PI The Alpha Theat Pi Sorority is now starting on its fourth year with a bright out- look and a large membership. The three former years have been great successes, both financially and socially. Last year several dances were given and one annual banquet was held. We of the Alpha Theta Pi welcome back the members of the faculty and the pupils, and hope you all had a pleasant summer. We also extend a greeting to the new mem- bers and pupils, and will always stand ready to be of any possible help to them. The first meeting of this year was held September 8. The first dance was given October 4. It was a great success and was enjoyed by many. As always before, this sorority stands back of the faculty. TO THE BOYS Fellows, you have all heard of the Har- vard and the Tufts Glee Clubs, and those of you who are going to college, no doubt, wish to enjoy the pleasures and benefits of the club at the college you will attend. But the fellows in those clubs can sing! Don’t take a chance, boys, join the Somerville High School Boys’ Glee Club and get the preparation we have to offer. A college glee club is almost as exclusive as a fra- ternity. Only the best singers in the col- lege can enjoy its privileges. Why can’t you be one of these? After studying all day, you will enjoy and look forward to the one day a week when you can gather around the old piano and wake up the S. H. S. spirit. If you wish to become a member of the Boys’ Glee Club, write your name, home room, part which you sing, and class, on a slip of paper and hand it to Mr. McVcy, John Delaney (Room 102), leader, or fb any member of the club.

CLASS NOTES FOR 1920 Three years ago our column was the last on the list and probably the smallest, but now we stand first and incidentally should and will be the best. We may eas- ily accomplish this if only each senior will do his share. We wish to thank the Eng- lish teachers for their kind assistance. We offer our most sincere sympathy to our classmate, George Dowd, on his unfor- tunate accident. He is a football and base- ball star, and would have been a great asset to the football team. Our wishes for a speedy recovery. Special credit should be given to our Edi- tor-in-Chief for coming such a long distance to school, his family having moved to Dor- chester. We appreciate his sacrifice. A petition is in order to apportion a sec- tion of the school lawn for the children to play in at recess. Mr. Hosmer talking on the ’phone— “What is it you want? Yes, I’m here.” They say a club has been formed by the girls in III English I. I wonder what they intend to do? Teacher (to three boys going down the corridor)—“Keep by twos, boys.” Dot dropped her mirror while studying the same and demolished it. Poor Dot, seven years’ bad luck! Heard in III Latin B translation—“Si- lently they stand by with ears erect.” Conversation between a Senior and a first year classman: First Year—“Where were you last pe- riod?” Senior (intimately)—“I was transferred to McLaughlin’s room.” First Year—“Oh, is she that pretty new teacher?” Heard in English :— Teacher—“Does anyone know anything about Sullivan’s absence the last two days.” Unknown Informant—“Yes, Jewish holi- days.” In III Eng. B, Teacher to Pupil—“You haven’t done enough to earn your salt, or sugar.” Bright Pupil—“Can’t get sugar now.” Heard in History:— “Caesar was a very smart man. He could write an autobiography of every one he knew.” Some of the best men on the football team are seniors, including Capt. Jack Rear- don, Steve Patten, O’Connell and McNa- mara. We seniors especially should back up the team. This is the last chance we will have to help make a championship team. Frank Townsend is capably fillling the po- sition of football manager, left vacant by the absence of the manager who is in the State Guard. Don’t forget— The S. H. S. A. A. The Girls’ and Boys’ debating teams. The “Radiator” subscription drive. That report cards are coming sometime in the near future and red ink is not scarce this year for those who do not study. Some well-known fish in our class— German shark—Allen Rideout. Chem. shark—Frank Townsend. English shark—Dave Donaldson. 16 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Football shark—Steve Patten. French shark— Roland Barker. All-round shark—Jack Reardon. Astronomy shark—Frank Tansey. Already opinions are being expressed about some sort of a plan for our class to have a year-book, such as the class of 1917 had. We should bear this in mind during the course of the year. Who does Martin play with these days? He must be greatly in need of a playmate since there are no Freshmen this year. America’s coming foremost artist—Helen Steere. Why is it that on the night we plan to go to a dance we have much more home work than usual? The two girls chosen for physical train- ing leaders of Room no are Dorothea Crowne and Theresa Begley. Both Miss Crowne and Miss Begley are deservedly popular and the room is to be congratu- lated on its selection. Teacher—“Please be careful about com- municating.” Pupil (angrily)—“I always communicate as careful as I can.” The term “fresh” as applied to. Freshmen has become obsolete, but it more than fits some of these new First-years. Mitchel is exceedingly worried because he was told that he was only in the twelfth grade of school. Tochterman says. “Live and Learn” is his motto. It’s a little doubtful when it comes to learning. Wouldn’t it be funny if— McNamara were two feet smaller And Miss Blood were two feet taller? Tosi studied hard and Got all A’s on his card? Tom Kelley were really neat And Joe Saunders very sweet? Miss Still were still? Martin was on time at recess? We had more class notes than we could handle? Congratulations to the incoming officers! We hope they may serve our class well and be well supported. 1921 NOTES J. C. Dunbar, Editor D. H. Miller, Asst. Editor The Juniors wish the football team and Mr. McLaughlin the best of success for this season. Every Junior is down on the slate for every game. Are you doing your part? Let’s not have a slacker in the class. We are wondering what the coming class editors will do for jokes, since there are no Freshmen to use as victims. A little bird whispered in a Junior’s ear, “Save your pennies. There are a lot of ‘frat.’ dances coming this winter.” Don’t make a mistake and come in the side door. You would be taken for a Soph- omore. Think of it! We are glad to see the Girls’ Debating Society starting business so soon. Once again the girls are ahead. Come on, fel- lows! Signs of life! Some class to our rich friends who come dashing up to school in Fords and things! Some fellows get their ice cream cones in the girls’ line. Their excuse is that they get larger cones.

Brcckenridge, Editor Those of the class pf 1922 who were in the High School last year welcome to their class the new members from the Junior High Schools. With the large class we have now we should be well represented in all school activities. We wonder whether:— R-g-rs still wears his bow necktie, H-rl-hy still has throat trouble. M-rm-nd still has his stock of excuses. St-ck-ole is as peaceful and silent as ever. T-ite is as studious as ever. Ca-r-er still gives interesting oral themes, Ak-r-y still arrives at 8.20. T-wle is aiming for all A’s again. Don’t forget the Athletic Association! Pay your quarter now, if you haven’t done so before; and not only join the Association but back up the team and go out to the games. Make the class of 1922 have the largest percentage of membership. We have some men of our class on the team. Go out and watch them. 18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE HARVARD MACHINE COMPANY Manufacturers of LIGHT MACHINERY TOOLS anil EXPKRMKNTAL WORK AUTOMOHILE PARTS 227-229 MT. AUBURN ST. CAMBRIDGE P.

IN ME MORI AM A gloom has been cast over the school by the terrible explosion in Oqtober which cost the lives of two High School students: Edward Dwyer of Class I and Arthur J. Horrcll of the Junior class. The former had recently entered High School was tak- ing the commercial course and doing excellent work; the latter was preparing for Dartmouth Col- lege and maintaining the requierd standing. Both were young men of bright promise and held in high esteem by instructors and classmates, who join in deepest sympathy with the grief of their bereaved parents. A THANKSGIVING PRAYER Oh, Thou. Grand Builder of the Universe! Who niak’st the rolling worlds and peoplest them With creatures—Who watchest the spar- row’s fall, And shap’st the fate of nature— Hear us, we beseech Thee! Bend low Thine ear; And in Thy mercy heed, while now the Nation Kneels with her thank-offering. Another year Upon the circled track of Time has passed, And still she holds Thy favor. Oh! give her, We implore Thee, a sense of all Thy bless- ings— A full sense to know, so in the knowledge She may worthier be to wear them. All this, O Great Supreme! She lowly asks through Him Thou lovest. p ' $JLSLSLSLSLSLSlSLSlJl QJLTJLJL jLiLSLQJULOJLSLSLJULSLSlJUlJLP.JUU o e ; t °o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR hmnmnr inrrdTrinmnnnrin VOL.

WALTER N. BRECKENRIDGE, � 22 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ANGELO DELANI Emily Wright, ’22. Rosa Maria, a celebrated contralto, having just delighted an audience with her singing, was leaving the theatre on her way home when her attention was arrested by the soft strains of a violin, faintly heard above the uproar of the city. It was unusual to hear a street musician in that part of the city, so she listened a moment. Gradually, as the simple melody of the music came to her list- ening ears, she began to wonder who was playing. She stepped into the street, and moving with the crowd came to the place where the violinist sat. Angelo Delani was poor, lame, and father- less. His father had been a great violinist and had taught the small Marco to play on his beloved violin. The boy, being of a musi- cal temperment, took to the instrument read- ily; but when the father died leaving him penniless, Angelo was at a loss what to do .to earn his living. Reduced to his last coin, he was forced into the street, and sitting in a remote corner, began to play to rest his tired mind. Gradually a group of listeners gathered, and soon, all unknown to Angelo who was lost in the land of music, a crowd was listening to the sweet tones of the violin so deftly played by one so young. Among them was the fair Rosa Maria, drawn by the strains of her favorite song, listening spell-bound to note after note. As the song ended the crowd dwindled away until only Rosa Maria was left with the boy. Angelo was sitting very still, utterly discouraged with life and all things in gen- eral, when— “Child! Where did you learn to play like that?” It was the beautiful Rosa speaking. “Oh, Senorita,” said the boy, startled, “I did not know anyone was near.” Then followed a conversation in which it was disclosed that Angelo was alone in the world except for some unknown relatives in Great Britain, whom the father had men- tioned once but not called by name. He was now fourteen years old and had been living in an attic room with his old nurse. She had but recently died, and now Angelo was turn- ed into the street to starve. Rosa Maria was fascinated more' and more by this strange, lame lad who could play so beautifully. Be- fore the conversation ended she had deter- mined to take him to her home and care for him. Meanwhile, Rosa Maria’s old chauffeur had begun to get uneasy about his mistress. He had seen her turn down the street, and as it was very late, and she had not returned, he decided to find her. He had walked down the street a way when he saw his mistress and the boy coming toward him. When they met, Rosa explained that she was taking the boy home, and accordingly the old servant took the lad into his arms and made his way back to the car. We must now leave them on their way home, and skip over the space of four years in which Angelo has grown to be talf and manly. He is now eighteen years old and has studied with celebrated masters in Germany and in his own beloved Italy. We find Rosa Maria and Angelo journeying to England to visit the Senorita’s friends of whom she had often spoken to him. A month later. Lady Vincent, a friend of Rosa’s was preparing to give a musicale. Lady Vincent’s musicales were very popular among her many friends, and she wished to make this one better than usual. Having lately met the young Italian violinist and heard of his success, she determined to have him play at her musicale. When she asked him he replied that he would be very pleased to assist her. The night of the musicale arrived, and a close observer might have noticed in the audi- ence a white-haired, refined appearing gentle- woman. She possessed a clearly cut profile, rather stern lips, and very kind eyes. This was the Lady Montgomery, a lover of music and a very dear friend of Lady Vincent. The first numbers of the program were up to the standard of Lady Vincent’s musicales, and then came the announcement that Senor Angelo Delani would play a few selections as a special favor to the hostess. The moment Angelo came before the audience Lady Mont- gomery might been seen to start suddenly. Where had she seen those features before? The expressive eyes, the clearly cut profile, and the kind but rather stern mouth. Then, for the first time, she noticed that he was lame. She wondered how he could have be- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 come lame. She hardly heard a note which he played, she was so wrapt in joy at having found that which to her had been lost. After the last number she asked to see him privately. Of course her request was granted. Having been introduced she hesitated to broach the subject which was uppermost in her mind, so she began: “Senor, I wish to congratulate you on your success in music.” Angelo acknowledged the remark very gra- ciously and then the Lady thought it best to introduce her subject. “I wonder if you will think me prying and rude if I ask you about your early life?” Her kind eyes seemed even kinder, and her face younger now, as she listened for his an- swer. It came at last, “Why certainly not, my dear madam.” His curiosity was arroused now, for he wondered why this strange, motherly person could possibly want to hear of his commonplace life. “I wish to know if you remember anything of your mother,” she was saying. “I remember only that she was very kind and good. She died when I was but five years old, but father used to speak of her often to me. He said that my features resembled hers, but I hardly think they can because mother was very beautiful.” This modesty on the part of Angelo greatly pleased the Lady, but she went on— “Do you know that twenty years ago my young daughter, Anne, eloped with an Italian musician whom she met at just such a musi- cale as this? They were together almost every day after they met, and when he was suddenly called back to Northern Italy, be urged Anne to go with him. She dutifully asked my consent, but I—(her voice broke) I refused to let her go. I thought it strange that she did not make a scene, but I saw the reason when that night I found she had gone. My heart turned against her then, and I thought I never wanted to hear of her again. I did not hear, until seven years later when word came that she had died, leaving a small son to the care of her husband. Of course I knew the father would do all he could for the boy, but I thought that I could do more for him, so I employed searchers to find him for me. They did not succeed, and for thirteen years my heart has ached for the grandson I could not lavish love and care upon. “Tonight, I had almost forgotten, but when I saw your face it all came back like a flash. My boy, you have the very features of my daughter, could you possibly be my own, own grandson ?” Angelo’s face was a study. He was so taken aback that he could hardly utter a sound. It was now his turn to tell his story, so he began, relating in every detail the story of his life. One thing he omitted, however, how he became lame. Lady Montgomery noticed the omission and hesitatingly asked him, “Would you mind telling me how you became injured?” She immediately hated herself for asking the question when she saw the shadow that crossed his eager countenance. “It was an accident,” he said, “I was four years old when it occurred. My nurse and I were walking on a city street, and iii attempting to cross to the other side, I was knocked down by a pair of runaway horses. The carriage passed over my knees, breaking one leg and so shat- tering the knee of the other that when I re- covered, the shattered limb was much shorter than the other. I think my nurse never for- gave herself for letting me cross the street unaccompanied by her.” As Angelo’s story agreed almost exactly with Lady Montgomery’s, they both were satisfied as to the relation between them. When the fact was announced that the young Angelo Delani was the grandson of Lady Montgomery, his popularity grew more and more. Later, when the grandmother died, she left her entire estate to Angelo. He shared it with the now middle-aged Rosa Maria, who had assisted him in his time of need. We regret very much the delay in the publication of the October issue of the “Radiator.” This delay was due to the printers’ troubles which are so prevalent in the country at the present time and which even the staff cannot overcome. We hope that there will be no delays in the future. 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A COURAGEOUS CROOK Charles Platt, 21. On a hot sultry August day, a motorist, touring through the country section of Vir- ginia was forced, by engine trouble and short- age of gasoline to stop at a small garage in a little country town. As the motorist looked hot and tired, the garage-keeper, who was also the stationmaster and postmaster, besides being the police and fire departments, invited him to be seated. The motorist, thanking him, sat down on a rickety chair at the end of the platform (the garage was also the railway station) and took a survey of his surround- ings. It was a typical country town of tre hilly section of Virginia. A short distance from the highway was a cluster of old-fash- ioned houses, evidently composing the vil- lage. through the midst of which ran a wind- ing street. Further away the motorist could see the farms dotting the country-side, while the hills rose hazily in the distance. Such was the dead silence, that the motorist, in order to break it, inquired, “Is there ever any excite- ment around here? The stationmaster an- swered from under the auto, the nasal twang of his voice cutting sharply through the heavy silence. “I couldn’t say thar was,” he answered. “About the only thing that thar’s happened in the last ten years war a fire in Judge Carle- ton’s house, about five years ago. What gave the excitement was a burglar who war thar the same night. The judge kept a small gar- age which was jined to his house, and he used to throw all the oily rags into his cellar. That were what started the blaze. Anyhow, the judge woke up that night and saw someone walking around in his room. Hashing a light. The judge jumped halfway out of bed and then jumped back again. The burglar jumped around like a flash and rammed a gag in the judge’s throat. He was going to tie him up when suddenly he stopped and snuffed the air. “Have ye got a fire in yer furnace?” he asked the judge. The judge managed to shake his head no. “Wait here then,” com- manded the crook, not stopping to tie him up. for the judge was too skeered to move. The crook sneaked out of the room but was back in a minute. “Yer house is a-blazing,” he said, “I’ll let you go if you don’t say a word about me.” He raised the revolver menacingly. The judge pulled out the gag, promised to be silent and jumped from the window into the garden below, yelling, “Fire! Fire!” In a moment the whole town was out. The fire spread over the house quickly and the judge ran and got his wife out just as that part of the house collapsed. Suddenly the judge gave a yell. “We’ve left the baby behind!” he cried. Someone spoke at his elbow. “Where is the baby?” asked a familiar voice. The judge turned around to see—the crook. “Up there,” he said, pointing towards the room over the garage. Without a word, the crook ran into the house, up the burning stairway, and crawled through the smoke-filled hall into the blazing pedroom. Grabbing up a small rug he wrapped it around the baby and ran back to the hall. The stairway had disappeared. He stumbled back into the bedroom to the window. The garage below was blazing. There was only one thing left to do. The villagers below heard his voice above the roaring of the flames, and caught the baby as it fell. Suddenly, with a blinding flash, a large tank of gasoline exploded, showering burning oil on all sides. The “crook” had no time to jump. The whole side of the house blazed up higher, tottered and then collapsed. The next day the town subscribed a sum of money for a tablet of marble to have en- graved on it the four words, “To a Courageous Crook.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR WHEN THE SEA GAVE BACK ITS CAPTIVE Lois P. Gibson, '22. The wind howled outside and the rain beat furiously against the windows of the village store as Ed Taylor went on with his story. “Yes, mates,” he was saying, “t’was just such a night as this, about five years ago, and the only one saved from the wreck was a little three year old girl. She was taken in by someone in the village, there being no clue to her identity, and later found to be the grand- child of a man who lived in the village there. He was —” But hark! What was that? The men sprang to their feet and listened. Xo, they were not mistaken, a ship was signalling for help! Had Ed turned prophet suddenly? But they spent little time in thought of this kind, for with the cry, “A ship in distress,” they hastily started for the beach where they found the simple-hearted New England fisher folk already collected. “Come, boys, a fire,” shouted Ed, who was always a leader. “May be ’twill warm their hearts a bit at this distance to see a sign of life.” With this they soon had a blazing fire. Meanwhile the poor vessel blown unresisting toward the rocks, still called for help and showed that she could not hold out much longer among the raging elements. “Pretty rough sea for rescue work,” mut- tered Ed under his breath, but not one of them faltered, they quickly manned two boats, vanished into the storm, the women tended the fire and watched them go with a prayer in their anxious hearts. And then came the heart-rending suspense as they strained their eyes through the darkness for a glimpse of their loved ones. In the meantime the men struggled and fought wave and wind inch by inch. Would they be in time, or was all their labor to he for naught? A flash of lightning illumined the sky, for an instant, and the picture was as clear as daylight. But even as they watched, the ship gave a lurch forward, one last ef- fort, and was dashed to pieces on the rocks. Then the picture was gone and all was black once more. “No one can live in this sea,” shouted one of the men. But they went on to be sure. The women, also, had caught a glimpse of the picture before it faded, and they, too, wondered if the men had been too late. The time passed in anxious waiting and after what seemed to be hours a shout was heard through the darkness. The boats soon grated on the sand and the men exhausted and wet, were welcomed to the fire. “Was anyone saved?” was their greeting. Wait! What was that bundle which Ed Taylor handled so tenderly? Motherly hands soon undid the many coverings, dis- closing to view the sweet face of a little girl about three years old. She sat up and eagerly scanned the circle of faces above her only to fall back, however, with a plain- tive little cry, “Where’s my mama? I want my mama.” “What’ll we do with her?” was the next question, but Aunt Susan, aunt to the whole village, quickly settled the matter by her answer. “I’ll take her,” she said, and suiting her actions to her words she soon had the little one in her arms and sound asleep. In the following week it was discovered from wreckage which was washed ashore, that the vessel had been the “Albion,” a trader from New York. And the child had, evidently, been the only survivor. Had she any relatives? Might they not, even now, be searching for some word of her? How- ever, as time went on, nothing more was learned and the child remained a mystery. So little Jean McLane, which she informed them was her name, became one of them. Now, in the village, sitting far back from the street stood an imposing, cold-looking house, which seemed out of place among its more homey-looking neighbors. To the village people the occupants of this stately residence were as much out of place as the house itself. An cld man lived here with servants. As Ed Taylor expressed it. old “Stony-Face” was too “stuck-up” to make friends among the honest fishermen and their wives. Indeed even the children were afraid of his cold expression and ran away when they saw him coming, although he seldom went outside his house and grounds. At least this was the case until Jean came into his life and then the miracle was per- formed. IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The whole village had learned to love the little child in the short time she had been with them and Aunt Susan lived in constant dread lest her charge should be taken away from her. She seemed used to the sea and loved to roam around by herself. One day in her wanderings she came to the house of old “Stony-Face.” She was used to going and coming as she liked among the homes of the village and seeing no difference here, she walked up the path. “My, what a big house!” she thought. “Guess I’ll go in.” Accordingly in she went, for, as the day was warm, the door had been left partly open. “I wonder why it’s so still,” she mused as she w£it into the front room. She started to look at the many pictures on the walls but she soon began to feel drowsy because of the stillness and warmth. Even the clock in the corner with its loud ticking seemed to say “Sleepy, Sleepy.” So, sitting down for an instant in the big arm-chair, she was sound asleep before she knew it. Soon the door opened and a man’s face appeared in the doorway. Mr. Strong en- tered from his walk in the garden, with a paper in his hand, seeking the quiet and solitude of his favorite easy chair. Greatly to his surprise, he found it occupied and upon going closer he discovered that the interloper was a child. At first he was startled and annoyed, then gazing more in- tently at the small figure curled up there, its rosy face with the dark hair falling light- ly about it, he started forward with an ex- clamation of surprise, “Jean, Jean.” He stopped, for the little one moved and sud- denly sat up, rubbing her eyes. “Who called me?” she asked. “Why. I guess I fell asleep. Who are you?” looking fiedly at the white face before'her. “I—I guess I’d better be going,” she added in a small voice, swallowing hard, as he still stared at her. “No, wait a moment, please,” he finally said, trying to reassure her with a smile. “What’s your name, little girl?” “Jean. What’s yours?” feeling more at ease. “Jean,” he breathed,” can it be?” But no, it was impossible and he straightened his shoulders with a ierk. “Probably only a fisherman’s child.” And yet he did not send her out as he should have done had he thought this the case. “What’s the matter?” asked Jean, looking a little frightened at his set expression. “Why, once upon a time, I used to have a little girl named Jean,” he answered very slo vly, “and I sent her away from home. That’s all—” with a sigh. “Oh,” said Jean with interest as she slip- ped down and stood beside him. “I’Tl be your little girl. Then I can come and see you again.” “I don’t want another”—but he stopped and looked at her as she gazed innocently up at him. “Yes, please do,” he added hastily. And thus this friendship started and Jean crept more and more into the heart of old “Stony-Face” or Mr. Strong, as the vil- lagers now called him. For little by little as time went on the village noticed a change in him. Now he smiled at the children and they no longer ran away. Now he mingled with the people more and always he watched little Jean with a wistful light in his eyes. Then one memorable day, a lawyer came to the village and remained with Mr. Strong, after which they both went to Aunt Susan’s to see Jean, and finally the storv was un- folded. Mr. Strong’s daughter, Tean, had loved the sea—and a sailor. When these captured her against her father’s will, he proud as well as rich, had disowned her and lived in loneliness ever since, hating the sea although some undefined impulse had always kept him near it. And then the little Jean had come into his life and from the moment he saw her, he had been torn by doubts and suspicious until finally, he had traced the events of his daughter’s life as far as the shipwreck about a year before. And now it was proved that the little one was the grand-child of old “Stony-Face.” The sea had given back the treasure it took, in the form of little Jean. “Now,” he said to Jean, when the story had been told her, “will you come and be my little girl really?” Jean, thinking he meant that she must leave all her good friends, was undecided, but when he explained that with Aunt Su- san as housekeeper they would stay there by the sea, she agreed happily. And Ed Taylor remarked that night to the circle in the village store, “Funny, isn’t it. how events of life repeat themselves?” “And,” he added, “the sea gave back what she captured in both cases.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “GET BEHIND AND PUSH.” Caroline Comey, President of the Girls Debating Society Years ago some of the teachers of the Somerville High School decided that this school should have a debating society. Shortly after this was done Brookline and Newton invited Somerville to join in a league. The result of this union was the Somerville, Brookline, Newton League. Those who formed this league planned that debates should be held every year be- tween the three schools. As soon as each school had formed its society and had had a little practice in debating, the trials were held. Any member of the school who was interested could enter the trials. Each one who entered was allowed to choose any sub- ject she wished and debate on either the affirmative or the negative for five minutes. Competent judges, usual'y the teachers of the school, judged these debates. The six best debators were picked out for the team and the two next best for the alternates. Three of those on the team were to debate with either of the other two schools on the negative side of a question ! -on. The other three were to debate 01 e affirma- tive side of the same question. These de- bates were called the ‘Tnterscholastic De- bates.” A shield was awarded to the team which defeated the other two teams. Somerville has always held a high place in this league. We have had the best ma- terial the school could give. The debators have gone into the debates with a spirit of which we can be proud. Many times we have been victorious. Two years ago, be- cause of the war, it was decided not to have the Interscholastic Debates. In place of these five minute lalks were given in the High Schools on the Red Cross and other activities pertaining to the war. I ast year, war conditions being better, informal de- bates were gjven under about the same plan that was used for the Interscholastic De- bates. the greatest difference being that the debators could receive no help from the teachers, and that no reward was given. Somerville was victorious, both boys and girls societies unanimously defeating Brook- line and 'Newton. This year we hope to have the Interschol- astic Debates again. Somerville held the highest place last year, she must hold the highest place this year. She cannot do this unless she has the support of every boy and girl in the school. First year pupils, do you realize that you make up over two-thirds of the school! If we arc to have a successful team this year we must have your support. If you can- not debate, you can come to the meetings of the society, you can attend the debates and you can back up those who arc debating. Juniors! We need your support. Some of you must t for the team. Last year a large number of those on the team were Juniors. There is no reason whv this could not be true this year. Show your loyalty to the school. Give us the support that you will expect next year from the Juniors. Seniors! I ought not to have to appeal to you. You arc the ones who will make or lose the name that Somerville High ought to have. Loyalty to yourselves, loyalty to your class, loyalty to your school demands that you not only try for the team but make it and fight to win • The Somerville High Debating Societies must have the best material the school can give. Are you a member of either the boys’ or girls’ debating societies? Have you planned to try for the team? If not, why not? A man stood watching a boy pull a heavy load up a hill. Finally he remarked, “You will never get that load up the hill.” The boy answered, “I shall if you will get behind and push.” Are you going to stand by and watch someone else put Somerville High “over the top” or are you going to “get behind and push?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR y 0 0 OOOOOGOOQQ QQQQQS gfl fl LIBRARY DEPARTMENT olnnnnnnnnnnrsTnrs 'znnnnnnrsinrjnnrsT “The history of the library ’ You look up in surprise at this, but like anything else it has a history. The library has come to be such an accepted advantage that we never stop to realize that there was a time when books could not be taken freely from the library, but there was such a time. The library dates back to the ancient times, just how far back no one knows. From very early days Babylonia was the seat of a learned and literary people, and practically every temple contained a library. These libraries would appear very crude in our eyes today for they did not consist of long rows of books easily carried to and fro, but heavy clay tablets in cuneiform writing, carefully placed on shelves so as to be read without being moved. Just such a library was discovered, in the year 1910. at Nippur in the great temple Bel which was destroyed during the Elamite invasion (1782 B. C). Among the Greeks small private libraries existed during the fourth and fifth centuries but they were of no great significance. The history of the great Greek libraries began with the founding of the Alexandrian Li- brary by the first of the Ptolemies. This library was exceedingly large and contained between 600,000 and 700,000 rolls of papy- rus, all carefully arranged and catalogued. Rome did not start with libraries of her own building, but with those taken as spoils of war. In the ancient libraries the books, usually rolls of papyrus which succeeded the clay tablets, were kept in closets specially ar- ranged for them. Catalogues were pre- pared to aid in finding the rolls. The li- brarian was generally a distinguished schol- ar and later ranked as one of the important public officers. The first librarian of whom there is any record was a Babylonian, who lived in about 1600 B. C. Through the Middle Ages books were chiefly preserved in the monasteries espe- cially those of the Benedictine. Each Bene- dictine first instituted a library, then a writ- ing room, and last a school. Many famous European libraries had their nucleus in these Benedictine collections. During the fourteenth century Germany established the first library in connection with the university. At about the same time Germany established the first public town library. Libraries of the last kind have now spread throughout the entire world. In former days the librarian’s duty was to get and keep books, and the library was a store house. Just take our own little school library for an example and see the change for yourself. The library is open to all, the librarian not only gets books, but helps make them useful, and the books are for- ever circulating. SIGMA KAPPA ALPHA (Sorority) The Sigma Kappa Alpha Sorority has begun its third successful year. The first meeting, held at the home of Miss Spinney, had a large attendance, and proved to be a success. The first social affair of the year will be a dance held Saturday evening, October n, at Fitzedward Bungalow. Two of our sisters, Olive Goudie, and Alice Downing, are attending boarding schools. The members of the Sigma Kappa Alpha extend a cordial welcome to the many new teachers and pupils of the school, and are always willing to assist them in any way possible (Ed.

Al- though many of their companions had died during the hardships of the previous winter, the springtime had relieved the survivors of their sufferings, and they had planted the grain which the Indians had given them. All summer the grain had grown and now in the fall they had a wonderful harvest. Their storehouses were full. Their cabins were strongly protected against the coming winter, and they were friendly with the neighboring tribes of Indians. Certainly they, almost strangers in an unknown land, had great cause for thanksgiving. In our own generation there is a tendency to make thanksgiving day a day of feasting rather than a day of thanksgiving. We have much for which to be thankful. The great war ended some time ago, and our boys arc no longer exposed to an enemy who may take their lives at any instant. Our mothers and fathers no longer anxiously await news from the front, or turn pale each time they sec a messenger boy at their door, fearing that he has brought the fatal tele- gram from Washington. This year there is no epidemic wiping out hundreds of thou- sands of our population within a few weeks. Here in Boston we can be thankful that we have a man, who stands for such principles as Governor Coolidge does, to handle the af- fairs of state in such critical times as the present. To be sure, our country is threatened by strikes from many sources. It almost seems at times, that Bolshevism is gaining a foot- hold in America. In spite of this we can be thankful that so far God has saved our coun- try. The cost of living is almost unbear- able, yet we can still be thankful that so far we have been able to meet the demands. Therefore let us not forget, as we gather around the table for our thanksgiving meal, to be grateful and thankful to God for His manifold blessings. Once more Somerville High School has come to its own in football. Our great team is talked of everywhere. Not only eastern, but western teams are waiting for a chance to play against it. Thus far our team has not been beaten, or even scored one. Cap- tain “Jack” and his hardy team mates have proved themselves superior to any team which has come against them. Keep it up team ! The school is behind you! With the revival of a great football team has come a great revival of school spirit. The crowds attending both home games and games away from home prove this. And not only is this revival of spirit felt in foot- ball, but in all the school activities. Let us keep on as we have started and make this year a memorable one in the history of the school. I apologize for the story which appeared wish the school to know how much I regret in the October number of the Radiator, over what I now realize was seriously wrong, my name, and was not my own work. I Josephine Murphy. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i5 Although Somerville began its football practice two weeks later than other schools in the league, wonderful progress has been made thus far. The loss of George Dowd, who has been unable to play in any of the games because of a broken collar bone re- ceived in practice, has handicapped the team somewhat, but in spite of this. Somerville has lost no games. We wonder what the team would have done, had Dowd been with „ us every game. Somerville has a splendid team and too much praise cannot be given it. Our aim is to win the championship. With such a record as our team has shown, our chance is good. Boost the team! Somerville vs. Cambridge Latin Somerville 6, Cambridge o. Somerville High opened its regular league football season with Cambridge Latin at Russell Field, Cambridge, winning with a victory of 6-0. Somerville High has a remarkably heavy team this season, led by Jack Reardon and the new coach, George S. McLaughlin. Big as the red and blue warriors were they failed to show anywhere near the form expected of them. But this is easily ex- plained by the fact that they did not get started in their preliminary work until two weeks after the other local squads were in action. '‘Steve” Patten, quarter back for our team this year, played a star game making the longest run of the game, running 35 yards. “Steve” also scored the only touchdown of the game but failed to kick the goal. “Rip” Lavartv, halfback for the team this year, proved to be the best line bucker, making several big gains. Both the tackles, Gilkey and Pierce, as well as Captain “lack,” play- ed wonderful football. Somerville penalties were numerous and fumbles appeared to be the order of the day. Somerville at no time was in any real danger, the ball being in their opponents tcrrtory most of the time. Somerville was able to make ten first downs, of which only two preceded their score. Somerville show- ed great defensive work and it will take an unusual snappy team to score on them. Only twice were their opponents able to make first downs. The punting of the game was fair, considering that the game was the first played by either team. The Somerville High School places a great deal of confi- dence in its football team this vear and i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR everybody hopes that their team will bear the honors as a championship team.

Somerville High whitewashed Waltham High on the latter’s football gridiron. Somerville had the heavier team and ex- celled her opponents in all style of play. Somerville’s only touchdown was made in the first quarter, when Lavarty, after receiv- ing a forward pass, was downed on the Wal- tham’s five yard line, and, after two line plunges pushed the ball across the goal line. Patten failed to kick the goal. Only once during the game was the Somerville goal threatened. Hanson, Waltham’s left half back, found a hole in the Somerville line and ran for thirty-five yards, placing the ball on Somerville’s fifteen yard line. Time was called before another attempt could be made to put the ball across the line. The third and last quarters of the game were featured mostly by line plunges and although Somerville threatened the Wal- tham goal line the Watch City boys’ defence prevented Somerville from scoring. Lavarty, as usual, was considerably cut up, being in the thick of every play. It was thought that he would be taken out after the first half, but he went back in the second half with the usual fighting spirit. Somerville showed marked improvement over the game with Cambridge Latin but still were not in their best form. Somerville 19, Boston College High o. Somerville had no difficulty in trouncing Boston College High 19-0 at the Somerville recreation field. Although R. C. H. fought hard and bravely till the whistle blew, the visiting team never got within striking dis- tance of the home team’s goal. Patten and Lavarty were the stars Tor Somerville, the former at various times broke away for long runs and scored the first touchdown after a run of 55 yards. Reardon failed to kick the goal. Boston Col- lege played well at times, but their lack of weight prevented them from gaining any considerable distance and they were never very near scoring. During the second and third quarters Pat- ten made some wonderful gains. Toulouse scored the second touchdown for Somerville, but no goal was allowed to be kicked as the ball failed to touch the ground. Simpson, after making some big gains by his line plunges, scored the third touchdown of the game. Reardon kicked the goal. Not much progress was made in the last quarter toward securing a touchdown. The ball exchanged first from one side to the other and at the end of the period the ball was on Somerville’s forty yard line. The thing which encouraged the Somer- ville fans was the snap with which their SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 team played, putting more pep into each play than they had done this year.

Somervile High defeated Newton High on the Somerville recreation field in their fourth game of the season by a score of 20-0. The Newton boys did not show much football until the latter end of the final per- iod when they opened up and, by a series of forward passes, brought the ball down the field toward Somerville’s goal. Somerville proved too much for the New- ton boys and scored three touchdowns with difficulty. The last touchdown was made in a very peculiar manner. After Somerville was held for downs on the one yard line the ball was given to Newton who planned to kick it out of danger. The ball was passed badly and the Newton kicker had no time to lose before the Somerville players would be in on him. The kick did not go more than ten yards and the ball rolled back over the goal line, where Lynch, right end for Somerville fell on it for a touchdown. Som- erville should have had another touchdown. A pass was thrown by Barker to Lavarty, which Lavarty caught, but fell to the ground and dropped the ball. The other two touchdowns were made by Patten and Lavarty. For Somerville, Simp- son, Lavarty and Patten were easily the stars, while Stafford and Bjorkman starred for Newton. Somerville is showing marked improve- ment in each game. Somerville H.

In the first period Somerville had the ball in the Malden territory most of the time, and only the wonderful kicking of Glennon saved a score. Glennon booted the ball out of dan- ger several times during the game, and was easily the star of the afternoon. In the last minute of play Glennon tried a drop kick from the thirty-yard line but failed. Somerville had the ball on the foot line in second quarter but were held for downs and therefore were unable to come across with a touchdown. Lavarty, Simpson and Captain Reardon played a wonderful game and much credit is given to them by the Somerville fans. “Steve” Patten kicked well and his tackling (was) deserves much praise. Bill Glennon and Captain Nayor of Malden were easily picked for their wonderful play- ing. Somerville High having won four games and tied one is still confident that their chances for the championship of the Subur- (Continucd on page 22) i8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1920 Frederic Littlefield, Editor.

Hesse, ’22. Madge, darlin’, come here,” quavered a sweet-faced old lady, in a tone bordering on a sob. “I know ye be hcartbroke and sad,” and as a blonde head was laid on her knee, she stroked the delicate curls ind continued, But, dearie, d-don’t make me think ye air selfish!” The golden head was raised, and Madge Wright looked through the tears that clung to her lashes at her grandmother, and smiled faintly. It’s hard, grandma,” she sighed. “It is hard, darlin’, that thim proud folks of yir father’s thought yir mother not fine enough for thim. And it is hard, aroun’ Christmas, to know that yir not going to get a single present just ’cause the world is cruel. But, Madge, me dear, there are others, whose hearts are sicker than yirs.” The pale lips parted in a smile, and Madge breathed, I see, grandma. I’ll try to make those others happy!” Then she arranged the little grandmother as comfortably as possible with the cat and a book and left. And the little old lady raised her eyes to heaven and breathed, Oh, dear angel Madge in Heaven, help me make our little Madge happy.” « Madge tripped up three flights of stairs in a greasy apartment house, and came to the cleanest door of them.all, though that wasn’t clean. She knocked timidly, then more loudly, and then heard a frightened “Come!” from within. “Hello, dearie!” cried Madge, radiant with smiles, to a sweet-faced invalid lady. Madge suddenly stopped when she saw in the arms of the frightened sick woman a pale-faced little baby. “Is the baby sick?” she ventured gently. “Oh, my baby is terribly sick.” “Couldn’t I help you? That’s what I’m here for, you know!” she cried eagerly. “Dearie, I don’t know your name, nor where you came from, nor anything about you. but you certainly must be a Godsend to me. I’m starved, and can’t work, but I have a dollar. Would you,� —could you help me?” she asked, timidly. “Why, 1 couldn’t help but help you! My name’s Madge Wright. What’s yours? And tell me in the same breath, where the money is. You need food.” “My name is Mrs. Ilailly, and Madge, my dear, the money is in the cupboard be- tween the large plates,” she answered, a lit- tle more boldly. Madge found the money, and throwing Mrs. Hailly a kiss over her shoulder, she started for the store in her little “accomp- lish-things quickly” way. When Madge re- turned, her arms were laden, and as she entered, warm sunshine broke into the room. She asked the invalid how she felt, stroked the baby's pale cheek, and then skipped, merrily singing, into the pantry for glasses and tableware. When after half an hour, they had fin- ished their lunch, and Madge had tidied the room a little, the little invalid, spurred to confidence by Madge’s amiability and un- consciously bracing manner, and some- thing akin to instinct, mused, “Dearie, I don’t know why, but you’re just like,—you remind me of my Jim, my darlin' big Jim. When I hurt my foot, he just sang all the time to keep my sperrits up. just like you do. Oh. dear! if I only wasn’t so selfish! Now! I won’t get morbid! I suppose T’ll have to tell you all about it, you’re such an angel. “Three months ago I told my big Jim, my husband, you know, well, I told him that I deserved some jewelry, and he kissed me and says, “I reckon you do!” just like he does,—did. Then the baby began to cry, and I flew into a rage and said, he ought to get me some jewelry, just like the fool I was! I guess I was out of my head then,—I wouldn’t say that now for the wold. Why, oh why did I? It was all my fault! Oh dear! oh!— Well, anyway, he just stalked over to me and says, ‘Bv all the Saints there are,—you shall have some jew- elry ! and he squeezed my hand awfully! . . . And. a little while ago,—he d-died in p-prison, because I was vain! Oh, God!” she cried, reverently and hysterically, in one, “Why did you let me?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 6 Then sl e continued. more passively, “I’d thought I’d lost my Jim forever, but he‘s come back.—in you !” 'It’s the Christmas .spirit, murmured Madge thoughtfully. ‘T can never forget you, never repay or thank you for brnging my Jim back to me,— I am so happy !” And remembering the words of her grand- mother. Madge cried. “And so am I!” The door burst open and in ran lovely Madge of the violet-blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds. “Grandma,” she cried, press- ing the now ruddier lips to the forehead of her grandmother, “I'm so happy! I knew that you were wise, but I never knew you were a sage!” And she told her grandmo- ther of the fairy call she had made. ‘‘She had a whole dollar,—we have fifteen cents,” she finished ruefully, “but we have each other! We’ll have crackers and milk for supper. Do you want me to read to you ’fore I go out to call again? No? I’ll bring some of the neighbors in tonight.” and she threw her a kiss and departed. She walked for fifteen minutes, greeting every one she saw, pinching babies’ cheeks, running with little boys and girls, and nod- ding and smiling at the adults, and being very amiable to everyone in general. Sud- denly her attention was arrested by the ex- quisite tones of a weird melody, masterly played, which floated from a second story window, and seemed to lure her, by the pathos of their message, straight to the art- ist. She caught herself as she was about to ascend the first interior flight of stairs, but she reflected that it was her purpose to cheer, so on she climbed. She tiptoed through the open door and looked curiously around the dark room, which as she surmised was entirely bare ex- cept that there was an old and broken chair and a pile of rags in one corner, and a mo- ment later she perceived another chair on which sat the artist. Suddenly the music ceased and a low, agitated voice asked, “Is it the landlady’s girl for the money?” “No,” answered Madge, softly, “It is a friend.” “Eh!” the voice said. “I have no friend. But no!” At this a little dog began to bark as if to say, “Well, then, master, you have forgotten me! Then Madge laughed and Madge’s laugh could cheer the soul of the most down-hearted. “Eh? Who are you? a princess or one angel?” the voice asked eagerly. Madge replied, “I am but a friend.” “L’ami,” said the voice to the pup, “Fetch the candle for the lady.” And in a moment the dog brought the candle to Madge. “The match, Mademoiselle, you will find on the shelf.” Madge lit the candle and set it on the shelf, and peered through the half light at the artist, a little old man with high, fine brows, a long nose, thin, pale lips and a sen- sitive chin, framed in by long, curly silvery hair. ‘‘I’ve come,” said Madge slowly, “to wish you a Merry Christmas!” “And to you the same!” he replied, with a quavering bow, but courteous. “But I did not realize that it was the day for greetings. It is mos’ kind of Mademoiselle to think of one as forlorn as I. It makes me mos’ happy. You have indeed returned me from melancholy. You have made the old dreamer mos’ jolly. Would you be seated? L’ami, the chair.” When Madge seated herself upon the chair which the dog had tried to drag over to her, she discovered, with a start, that the artist was blind. “Mr. -----,” she faltered over the name, but he did not supply it, “Do not mind me if you wish to play some more.” “Ah, thanks, Mademoiselle, the blind vio- linist loves his violin—” and the last words were unheard, being drowned by a tale such as only that instrument and such a master could relate. Madge was lost in the spell of the mas- ter’s violin, and she realized a life, a ro- mance that could truly be called pathetic. 'Phe life of the sickly urchin, of the love-sick dreamer, of the man, of the man and the woman, the voyage to the United States in quest of a fortune for his bride-to-be. and the extinguishment, the sad, tragical end of the flame of love and luck, were told, how pathetically by the musician. And then,— in jubilant strains he pictured the awaken- ing, by the hand of a poverty-stricken maiden, whom he could not see; the thrill- ing realization that he had a friend, on SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 Christmas Eve in the heart of the cold, un- appreciative city, could be told only justly enough by his beloved violin. And Madge was happy, for she had shared her love, though ’twas a love she had created in a moment, with the anguished soul of the. 'Ttist, and she had helped. For the second time that evening Madge ran in the door to greet her grandmother breathlessly. “Hello, grandma! she cried gaily, giving her grandmother her custom- ary kiss, “you know it’s great to have ‘peace and good will’ to everybody! I have just met the most courteous gentleman I ever saw. He said ‘Mademoiselle’ to me and everything. He could play his violin won- derfully! It made me see things, better’n if he’d told me in just plain words. It made me realize that he was blind! Isn’t that too bad? And his melody seemed to be, ‘I am lonesome! I want a friend.’ And then he told me on the violin y’know, that I’d made him happy when I said I was his friend. O grandma! f forgot to go to the store!” So out she went. In ten minutes she was back, and in an- other ten minutes she had prepared their scanty meal. Then Madge related carefully the events of that wonderful day before Christmas, while the wonderful little grand- mother listened, her heart full of gratitude. “Now, grandma dear. I’ll go and call for our callers.” So she put on her wraps and went out. She knocked at the door of a neighbor, Mrs. Pratt. Mrs. Pratt herself answered the loor, and as she said “Hullo!” nine cheery little voices echoed her. “P e ve coinin’ in. me dear?” said she. “No, I jut came to call for the kiddies, if they may come over to visit grandma and me.” “Would I mind? Well, I just guess I wouldn’t.” Accordingly she sat down on the floor and pinned together skilfully little bits of calico into a doll’s dress. While she was thus engaged, an automobile drove up and stopped in front of the house, and in a moment someone knocked on the door. Nine babbling children rushed to the door, opened it, and then dumbfounded- ly stepped back without a word. Then in walked a haughty, wcalthy-looking elderly lady, who, after examining the children carefully through her lorgnette, spoke to Mrs. Pratt who had just come in, “Madame, are your children worthy of charity?” “Indadc, me foine lady, a cleaner lot ye’ll not find, but as for charity—!” “I suppose that is rather awkward. I mean worthy of aid and moderate luxury, are they?” “Well, they’re good ones.” “How many have you?” “Nome.” “The pretty girl in there, isn’t she yours?” “No, her name’s Wright; ours is Pratt.” “Wright? Wright? “Right.” “Young lady!” she said to Madge. Madge immediately arose and came to her. “What is your first name, please? “Madge,” she answered. “Who are your people?” the woman asked, more kindly. “My mother’s name was Lowrie. The Wrights, my father’s people, are rich, and wouldn’t support my mother when my fa- ther died. My mother died when I was born,—now I live with my grandma.” Then she became alarmed.—“I shouldn’t have told—” “You did just right,” then, addressing the attendant, she said, “Clause, bring some bundles for this good woman. I wish you a Merry Christmas, children, and to you my friend. Will you excuse me while Madge conducts me to her grandmother? I bid you good-day.” Madge, taken aback and frightened, led the way. “Grandma, a lady to see you,” she said, when they had entered the door. “Grandma, I’d like you to meet—” “Mrs. Wright, Senior.” that lady supplied. “Mrs. Wright, this is my grandmother. Mrs. Lowrie.” “I’m pleased to m-meet you,” said the old lady, timidly and rather perplexed. “But I don’t—” “My dear, I am your Madge’s other grandmother and your friend.” And then, oddly timid, she added, “I’m so lonesome, would you kiss me?” “Oh, my dear!” cried Madge, and kissed her and hugged her with her heart and soul in every embrace. 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Then the new-found grandmother ex- Tt is the natural way of love, and the claimed, “I went out to give happiness and Christmas Spirit!'’ cried the little grandma, found happiness!” And the bells rang in the Old Church bel- “And so did I!” cried Madge. fry, “Peace on earth, good will to men!” LOYALTY TO ONE’S COUNTRY. Catherine Magee '21. It had been snowing heavily since early in the evening, and already over a foot had fallen. One would think a white curtain was stretched from the heavens to meet the earth to shut out all that lay beyond. It was such a night that nobody in Bryants- ville would leave home for fear of being lost in the storm. It was on this night that Betty Norcross and her father, Mr. James W. Norcross, were seated before their living room fire, the former thinking of the fun that would result from the storm, the latter thinking of his recent adventures of secret service work, for Mr. Norcross was in the United States Secret Service. It was nearly midnight when a heavy thud sounded at the porch door. They both sat up, instantly alert. A few moments passed, and Mr. Norcross went silently to the door and opened it a few inches. What he saw was a very aged man lying full length on the porch floor. He saw that the unknown man must be frozen, so he rap- idly picked him up and carried him to the couch before the lire. After a few moments the man became conscious and whispered feebly, “Norcross, Mr. Norcross?” and handed a piece of paper to Mr. Norcross. Glancing quickly from the slip of paper to the unknown he gave the slip of paper and some hurried orders to Betty, reached for his hat, coat and a revolver, and was out of the house in a flash. Betty, quickly sensing something wrong, read the paper, gave a gasp, and hurriedly gave orders to Mammy, the only mother the Norcrosses had, to make the man comfort- able, ran for her coat, hat and revolver, and soon overtook her father. About a quarter of a mile they ran until they reached one lone mansion at the far end of the road. The house had but one light in it, at the top of the house. Mr. Norcross lowered one window on the side of the house, lifted Betty over the sill, and then climbed in himself. . They examined the rooms on the first and second floors noiselessly, lighting the way with a searchlight. This they did so as they would know that only the occu- pants of the third floor were in the house. Then seeing but one staircase to the third floor, he ordered Betty to stand with revol- ver drawn, to use if anybody came over the threshold. Mr. Norcross then left the house and went back to his home faster than he had come, mounted the stairs to his telegraph room and sent a message to the nearest army camp and was sure of aid within the half hour. He then went back to Betty, and the two mounted the stairs to the third floor. He stationed Betty at the door of the lighted chamber while he searched the remaining rooms. Finding debris and rub- bish only, he ordered Betty to take the light, go down stairs and out on the road,, there to stand behind a clump of bushes, prominent to the head lights of an automo- bile whose owner was ordered to stop there. Betty obeyed, and within five minutes an automobile stopped, and Betty raising the light gave the signal to follow. A group of six men followed her to the third floor, where they found Mr. Norcross still on duty, who motioned to them to raise their revolvers. He then opened the door, to the surprise of four foreign looking men, who immediately cowered before the guns. In front of the men on the table were stretched the plans of three arsenals in which were stored army and naval goods. After all was over, Betty and her father returned home, where they found a gentleman who would die in loyalty to his government. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “HASTE MAKES WASTE.” Marian Gaddis, ’21 I he Prescott family had moved from the city to Biddeford Pool, Maine, as Mr. Pres- cott’s health was failing, and only the sea air would revive it. To the daughter, Edith this change was not a favorable one, as it seemed to her that Biddeford Pool was miles away from civilization. As her mo- ther had the entire care of her father, most of the housework was left for Edith to do. One Wednesday in August she hurried to get through with her work so that she might go to Biddeford to do some shopping and also to meet a girl friend who was com- ing out from the city where Edith had pre- viously lived. At three o’clock she managed to get her work done, and was all ready to go. So she got on her bicycle and rode to the station, about a mile distant. She was about to leave her bicycle in the car barns when she saw the station agent approaching her. He informed her that the car had just gone. After he told her, she just stood and stared at him, but not long, because she finally decided to ride her bi- cycle to town, for she would have to wait an hour for another car, as they only ran every hour. After riding for about five minutes she met her brother, who was riding in their Ford truck, which he used for delivering farm produce. He asked her where she was going, and when she told him, he declared she would never get there if she rode her bicycle, therefore he put her in the back of the truck, which fortunately happened to be empty, and then drove her to town. She had him leave her on the outskirts of the town, and walked the rest of the way, only to dis- cover that all the stores were closed, as it was Wednesday. Her chum was to come on the eight o'clock train, so she decided to wait for her. It was then four o’clock and she had four hours to wait. She procured two pounds of candy and some magazines and papers, and settled herself in the waiting room. It happened that the train was half an hour late, and her friend did not appear, so she asked the station master what time the next train got in. He informed her that it was due at nine o’clock. Half an hour to wait, and she had read everything in the magazines and papers. She put her hands in her pockets to see if there was anything there to amuse her. Her hand came in con- that with a letter. She drew it from her pocket and proceeded to read it. It was from Dorothy, the girl she was to meet. It stated that she was coming out Thursday instead of Wednesday. Edith consulted her watch and found it to be ten minutes of nine, and the car went at nine. She hurried to the station and was just in time to catch the car. After that experience, she decided that “haste makes waste,” and determind to think before acting the next time. THE DESERTED FARMHOUSE. Gertrude Chapin. The sky was growing dark, and it was starting to rain. Birds darted hither and thither to seek shelter from the oncoming storm. Jeanette and Ann had broken away from the rest of the party to take the open road back to camp. As they walked away, stopping occasionally to wonder and ex- claim over nature’s marvels, they did not notice the approaching storm until it was upon them. As Jean glanced up, she gave a cry of dismay, and as there was no shel- ter near, both girls commenced to run. They ran on and on, all the while looking for some place that might serve as a shel- ter. There was not a house in sight and the rain was coming with a vengeance. The girls hurried on and suddenly Jeannette spied an old, tumble-down farmhouse in the distance, almost shut off from view bv the shrubbery and trees grown thick from neglect. IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR They approached it and peered in the windows, and as everything was quiet and deserted inside, they went around to the door, and finding it unlocked, walked in. “Ugh, what a musty old place,” exclaimed Ann. ‘Til wager this house is haunted.” “Oh, nonsense,” returned Jeannette, “anyway, it’s daylight and there’s no fear of ghosts troubling anybody in the day- time.” The house had apparently been abandoned and left to ruin. The rooms were typical of the old farmhouses with the large, open fireplaces and the old-fashioned furnishings. .One could easily associate gay stories and merry laughter with these surroundings. Jeannette and Ann clung together in si- lence, except for an occasional exclamation over some discovery. As it still continued to pour, the girls did not hurry in satisfying their curiosity. Hut in spite of all they found to interest them, they were becoming anx- ious, as the daylight was rapidly waning. The prospect of remaining over night in such a place made both girls shudder. Their clothing, already more than damp, served only to make the situation almost unbear- able. Finally Ann in desperation jumped up and started a search for some means of a light. After what seemed an almost vain search, she found a piece of an old can- dle, and two matches, one of which had been burned. The other being damp the girls held their breath for fear it would go out and thus they would have to endure that terrible darkness. After what seemed an endless time, the candle spluttered forth in a small, feeble flame, which threw weird shadows all about the room. The girls drew their coats about them and sat down to await what would happen. Roth, being worn out from excitement and lack of food, soon fell fast asleep. The steady tattoo of the rain on the roof seemed to bring them some comfort and a feeling of protection. Suddenly Jeannette woke with a start. Frantically she shook Ann, being too fright- ened to speak. What was that noise, and where was it coming from? The girls clung helplessly together to await their terrible fate. Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, steadily and stealthily drawing nearer and nearer, and louder and louder, but not a thing could either girl sec, and yet both strained their eyes, as far as the light of the candle per- mitted. What would they do? It was of no use to scream, nobody would hear them. Finally, in desperation they buried their heads in their coats. On and on it came, and what was that hot breath Jean felt on her neck? She was rigid with fear. She felt the thing rubbing against her arm; it was cold and damp. She gave one scream, and as she did so Ann broke forth into un- controllable laughter. Jean in frantic be- wilderment looked up to see a calm black cat gazing at her. Then out of sheer ner- vous relief, she laughed and cried in turn, as she drew the cat onto her lap. With the cat for protection, the girls dropped oft to sleep, and slept soundly until the sun peep- ing from behind the hills, awoke them. She jumped up and ran out to hasten for camp to tell their experience of the previous night and also to relieve those anxious waiters of their worry. As their dumb protector ap- parently belonged to nobody, the girls car- ried him back to camp. A few days later a party was made up including Ann and Jeannette, which went back to explore the wonders of the deserted farmhouse. C. S. T. CLUB. Members of 111 Eng. have formed a club known as the C. S. 'I'. Iub, and have elected the following officers: President, Nathalie Warner; Sec. and Treas., Lydia Carlz. 'Flic formal opening of the club took place during the assembly period on Friday, No- vember 7, in the Girls’ Gymnasium. The club had as its guests Mr. Avery, Miss Mer- rill, Mr. Mahoney, the aunt of the president Mrs. Reamore Miss Campbell, Miss Todd and the girls in Miss Todd’s class. The meeting was opened with the sing- ing on “The Star Spangled Banner.” Miss Warner, the president, made a brief opening address; she said in part: “Members of the C. S. T. Club and guests, as president of tihs club, it gives me great pleasure to greet you today. This club is SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ii made up of commercial girls; we hope it will be one of the finest cubs in the school. We will try to do such good work and have such good meetings that you will all agree that we are the best. We commercial girls- realize that we do not have all of the oppor- tunities of the college girls, and we talked it over among ourselves and formed this plan. All English classes know that they are asked to give oral themes regularly, and we thought the work we did in this club might be regular oarl theme work, only we might call it ‘club’ work instead. We wish to know something about the bigger and broader things in life; to know something about the current events of our city, state and continent. We members of this C. S. T. Club know that we are not very well informed, so we wish to travel and we call ourselves the ‘Travel Club.' The mean- ing of the letters ‘C. S.’ Mr. Avery has given us permission to keep a secret for a time. Our first study will be Mexico, that trou- blesome neighbor of ours, and then we will travel up the coast of Canada, and perhaps later cross to France. I hope at the end of the year you will say that we have accom plished our purpose.” SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE TO The I larvard Club of Somerville is an or- ganization of the graduates of the Somer- ville High School who have been students of, and for the most part arc graduates of Harvard University. Some years ago the club voted to raise annually $100. to be given as a scholarship to a Somerville boy during his Freshman year at Harvard, and the committee on scholarships at the Col- lege has for several years made the award. At the last annual meeting of the club in October new arrangements for the award were adopted. The resolutions appear be- low. Any boy in the senior class intending to try the Harvard examinations may sig- nify to Mr. Wilkins his wish to be consid- ered an applicant for the award. There is a possibility that two scholarships instead of one may be availble next September. Harvard Club of Somerville. Resolved:— i. That the awarding of the annual scholarship shall be made by the Club on The president then called upon Miss Doris Henderson to give a recitation en- titled “Fall In.” Miss Lydia Carlz spoke on .Americaniza- tion,’’ giving it as an oral theme, and Miss Ruth Hanson followed with her written theme, “How to be a Good American.” The last number on the program was a recitation, “New England’s Own,” by Miss Gertrude Nangle. Miss Merrill, head of the English Dept., was made an honorary member of the club and decorated with the club colors by the president. She responded in a few happy words, saying among other things, that she would like to do for club as the town of Concord did for Ralph Waldo Emerson when they erected an arch of roses in his honor. Mr. Avery addressed the club on the uplift of education. He said education always meant onward and upward, and he encouraged the club in its ideals. Mr. Ma- honey extended his congratulations and praised the work of the club, assuring the members of his hearty interest and support. The meeting closed with the singing of “America.” STUDENTS ENTERING HARVARD. the'recommendation of a committee consist- ing of the following: Mr. John A.

That the above committee be request- ed in making the recommendation to con- sider equally the scholarship, the need, and the general promise of the applicant. 3. That the above recommendation be made as soon as practicable after the en- trance examinations for college have been passed. 4. That the treasurer of tilt Club be au- thorized to place the actual funds of the above scholarship to the credit of the suc- cessful applicant at the time of the first in- stallment of the tuition fee in his freshman year. 5., That the first award under this plan shall be made in 1920. 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR aJUUUUUULSULJUlJlfiJLSLSlJLSULSlJULaJLSLS LIBRARY DEPARTMENT I o e o o 0 1 rtonnnnmnr znnnnnrtnnnr?nnnr5Tnnnj oinnnnnnnrBTnnr sinro ‘‘Better English ’ these two words have been driven into our heads a great deal of late, and so once more, “good reading is one of the many steps toward better English.” These books have recently been added to our library, and are “good reading”: i. Letters to His Children, by Theodore Roosevelt. This is a very interesting book for both old and young, it contains letters written by Roosevelt to his.children. These letters were written either while our world- loved Teddy was fighting in the Spanish War or off on a hunting trip. They extend over a period of twenty years. In this book there are also letters written to friends and relatives, in which he shows the pride and love he has for his children. “Have Faith Massachusetts,” by Calvin Coolidge. This is a book that we all should read, not only because it is an education in itself, but because we should be proud to be able to say, “I have read it.” It was written by the Governor of Massachusetts, “Our Governor ’ and it contains many of' his most notable speeches from the time when he thanked the Massachusetts Senate for electing him its President in January, 1914. up to last September, when he sent his fa- mous telegram to Gompers. “Waifs and Strays,” by O. Henry. Who is there who has not had the pleasure of reading one or more of O. Henry’s interest- ing books? Here is one more which I know you’ll find very interesting. It contains talks and articles about the best-liked and most-read-of American short story writers of recent times. “The Girl and the Job.” by Helen Hoerle. 'Phis is a subject that most of the girls are interested in. An everyday question is, What arc you going to do when you grad- uate? and one of the commonplace an- swers is, “Work.” Well, girls, you’re plan- ning to get a job, but the real question is, do you know what you are really suited for, and what kind of work you really want? I’m sure this book will help you; it describes and states the advantages and disadvan- tages of different jobs, the wages offered, and the qualifications required. Here are some very good stories: “Preston John,” a story of the diamond countries of Africa, by John Buchanan. Tom 0’ the Scouts,” a thrilling war story of a daring aviator, by Edgar Wallace. “The Lost Prince,” by Francis Hodgson Burnett. “'Pile Emperor of Portuzalia,” by Sclmc Lazerhof.

The affairs of the world have moved so rap- idly that it hardly seems possible a year has passed since we last celebrated the birthday of our Lord. Yet it is true. The great stores arc in their holiday attire. People arc plan- ning their gifts, and the Christmas Spirit is abroad. As we prepare for this great anni- versary let us not forget that the true Christmas spirit is not the taking pleasure in what we receive so much as it is in taking pleasure in what we give. There arc hun- dreds of people in the United States alone, to say nothing of the millions in Russia and other European countries, who will have no Christmas this year. Many a poor family in our own country is having such a struggle for its bare existence that it can afford no extra food for Christmas dinner, nor money for gifts. Although many of us may not be able to reach any of these poor families di- rectly, we may still help them. Many or- ganizations, such as the Savation Army, provide Christmas dinners for these poor families and toys for their children. The Christmas season also gives us an op- portunity to express our appreciation of friends and of many little kindnesses ren- dered us during the past year. This season also gives us the opportunity to cheer the hearts of those who are bearing heavy bur- dens, and to brighten the lives dimmed by sorrow and suffering. Thoughtfulness, ap- preciation, unselfishness, kindness, forgive- ness, cheerfulness,—these are the true mani- festations of the Christmas Spirit. A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. “Somerville High School Wins Suburban League Championship.” What a thrill went through our hearts as we read those words in big letters on the sporting pages of our daily newspapers! How proud we were that we were memberes of the Somerville High School! And we had great cause to be proud, for not only had our team won the championship of the league, but it was the only team for miles around that had gone through the whole season without having its goal-line crossed by its opponents. To be sure our team was unusually heavy, but still it was not the weight of the men that won the championship, but the spirit with which they played. We heartily congratulate coach McLaughlin, and captain “Jack” and his loyal team-mates. “I pledge support to my school and city; my state and country. The welfare of a na- tion depends upon the unselfish and en- lightened service of its citizens. I pledge myself to obtain the best education possible for myself, that I may the better serve.” The lines above form the pledge of the new girls’ club, the C. S. T. Club. What better idea of true citizenship can be obtained than that contained in this pledge? Loyalty, service, education,—the keynote of Ameri- canism. Surely every student in America would profit by holding himself to such a pledge. And not only would the student profit by it, but, by his becoming a better citizen, his city, state and counry would profit also. We wish the members of the club, who have taken this pledge, all the success which we know is in store for them, and we promise them our hearty support in all their undertakings. May it increase in members till the above pledge expresses the real spirit of our school. i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The football season is over, and Somer- ville has secured the honors of the Subur- ban League. The Red and Blue has had a highly successful season, financially and otherwise. The Athletic Association start- ed the season immersed in debt, but the great support of the students at the games has wiped out the debt and placed the teasury of the Association upon a firm basis. Somerville o vs. Rindge o. In a game which might have decided the championship of the Suburban League Som- erville was unable to score on Rindge Tech- nical School on Russell Field, Cambridge. More than 2,000 football fans had crowded on the field with the thought that Somer- ville would undoubtedly win. The field was almost entirely covered with water, which was a foot deep in some spots.

Although Everett played hard and bravely till the whistle blew, she never got within striking distance of the home team's goal.

Somerville vs. Medford. On Armistice day, Nov. 11, Somerville and Medford were scheduled to play their annual battle of football on the Somerville Recreation Field, Somerville. More than 12,000 football fans had gathered on the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR gridiron in order to witness one of the most spectacular games of the season. The crowd which gathered on the field was so great that the mere handful of police hired for the occasion were unable to hold them back. A conference resulted between the two coaches, and the league representatives de- cided to postpone the game under certain conditions because of the multitudes of people which had gathered on the football gridiron. Somerville was easily figured as the favorite of the day, and at no time dur- ing the short period played was their goal line in danger. Medford played a thrilling game against Somerville, although the latter team had the edge on her opponents all the way through the first half. The Somerville line deserves praise for the mighty force which they used in clearing free passages 17 for the Somerville backs through the Med- ford line. Blair and Vaughn of Medford played a slashing game and are easily con- sidered as the stars of the day. Somerville High. Medford High. Lynch, 1. c. (lilkey, 1. t. McXamara (Brandt), 1. g. Reardon, c.

His work was considered by the older hands to be the worst in the camp, and that night he was barely able to crawl to his bunk. The two succeeding weeks were almost a living death for the grief-stricken boy. but after that his sturdy frame became inured to the hardships imposed upon him by the older hands, who took advantage of his inexperience. As the season wore on, the men began to collect around Jack every time the opportunity offered itself, to listen to his stories and hear him play the har- monica. which he had brought with him. The boss, whose name was Stearn. seemed to hate Jack more every day, and when he would see him entertaining a group of the men he would break up the gathering, and more than once struck the boy. The time for the great drive approached. With the coming of spring, Jack had grown to be very large, and could surpass most of the men in feats of strength. As the time arrived for the drive a man came into the camp one day asking for work, which he speedily got. He was an inspector sent from the main office at Quebec to observe the conditions, as this particular camp was falling behind in their yearly output. One day the drive jammed and after the repeated attempts of the men to start it go- ing again proved fuilc. Boss Stearn ven- tured out to see the cause. As he ap- proached the end of the drive, where the block occurred, there was a rumbling, and the mass of logs began to break up. His only hope of safety lay in going forward. The log which had caused the jam, still re- mained still, thus holding back some logs. The Boss reached the pile of logs and began to shout for help. The men, for fear of bodily harm, but more on account of their hatred for him, would not go to his assistance. Jack ran up the bank about.two hundred yards, and be- gan to make his way out over the logs towards the middle of the stream. This was very dangerous, as the logs were speed- ing along very fast. As he approached the Boss his foot slipped as he was stepping off a log, and he fell into the water. A shout went up from the onlookers, but this was drowned by the roar as the logs broke up and the boss was crushed to death amidst the swirling tree trunks. Jack grasped a log and clung tightly, as he could see the men making preparations to save him. After floating along about half a mile he was rescued in calmer waters, battered almost to insensibility. He was sent to the hospital, where he soon received a letter telling him of his promotion to su- perintendent.

Three blocks away, behind the roofs of Newspaper Row, a column of flame shot into the night, and the clang of hurrying en- gines rose sharply from the street below. “Great Jehosaphat! That’s a big fire, Roberts; close, too. Who’s got it?” The city editor came to the window, copy in hand, and flattened his nose against the pane. “She is a roarer, isn’t she? I sent young Thayer out on that. Looks like more than he can handle I’m afraid.” The sporting editor turned to the speaker. “Say, Rob, what’s the matter with the youngster anyway? From the way he shaped up at first I thought he was going to be a top-notcher; but the other reporters skin him alive whenever they’re out on the same assignments. I don’t understand it; lie’s as steady as a clock, and as willing ns a boy can be, yet every time he gets a chance to do something big he goes up in the air.” “I know that,” said the city editor. “This is strictly on the q. t.; but the old man sent for me last night to talk about that boy. He says he hasn’t shown any aptitude for news- paper work, and unless he makes good he will be dropped.” From down the smoky street came the muffled roar of human voices. The sport- ing editor leaned out of the window. “Cheering, by George. Firemen making a grandstand play, most likely.” Ten minutes later an office boy dashed in breathless and excited. “Say, Mr. Roberts, you otter been down th’ street. There’s three women up on th’ top floor of th’ buildin’ what’s a-fire an’ everybody thinks they’re gonners, ’cause th’ street is tore up wit’ sewers, an’ the firemen can’t get in there wit’ th’ towers. A man gets through th’ ropes an’ runs across th’ street wit’ his coat over his head, an’ before they could nab him in he goes at th’ front door. Th’ next we saw of him he was up on th’ roof a-lettin’ down a piece of rope to th’ window where th’ women was. The rope was only a short one, an’ so he hauls ’em up on th’ roof where he is. You know the three-story brick what’s next door? Well, they’s a wire runs from th’ top of th’ big buildin’ down to th’ brick on a slant. He hitches the littlest woman onto this wire wit’ a piece of rope an’ cuts her loose. She got down all right. Then he sends the next one down. When he was tyin’ on the last one th’ whole insides of th’ buildin’ caves in, but when the smoke clears away, there he is on th’ edge of the wall, wit’ fire all around him. The piece of rope he was savin for himself must have went down in th’ fire, because he looks around for it just once an’ then he swings out an’ comes down that wire like a circus actor. When th’ crowd saw he was agoin’ to make it all right they cut loose, an’ I bet you could have heard ’em over in Jersey. They swarms around the brick buildin’ to meet him when he comes down, but somehow he makes a clean get-away an’ there don’t no- body know who he is or nothin’.” The city editor threw up his hands and groaned. “Now, isn’t that just my luck to send Thayer out on a story like that?” An hour later a tall, broad shouldered young fellow came quiety into the room and laid a bunch of copy on the city editor’s desk. Roberts had reached the bottom sheet, and when he spoke, his voice came like the click of a steel trap. “How does this hap- pen, Thayer? Didn’t you see this man get the women off the roof?” “Yes,” said the reporter. “I saw as much as anyone did, I guess.” “Do you mean to tell me that such a thing is worth only three or four lines of copy ?” “Well, you see, Mr. Roberts, it didn’t strike me that that business amounted to so very much. Any man would have done the same thing, don’t you think?” The voice of the city editor rang like a clarion. “Why, Good Lord, man! Here’s a man takes his life in his bare hands to save three women from being burned alive, and be- cause you fell down on it you try to belittle the whole thing. You ought to be ashamed sir!” 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “I guess you’re right, Mr. Roberts. 1 know as well as you can tell me that I haven’t shown any ability in this line of work. I don’t suppose there is any need of me writing out a resignation, is there?” Turning, he walked out of the room. The sporting editor caught him at the head of the stairs. “Harry, old man, I’m awfully sorry, but don’t take what Roberts said too much to heart. Why, man, your hand is bleeding. Let’s have a look at it.” Across the palm and joints of the fingers ran deep cuts, and a great light came into the sporting editor’s eyes. He strode into the room. “Roberts!” he called. “We’ve got the man’s name and by heavens, it’s more than a scoop for us!” KARL Lola Hamilton, ’20. Margaret Wells took up her task of teach- ing in a factory district in New York, with all the eagerness and confdence of her twen- ty-three years. Known during her school and college life for tact, she found it quite easy to gain the confidence of the majority of the young people whom she taught. Not only did this young woman instruct her pupils in the prescribed courses of the English language and the elements of arith- metic, but she taught them something more far-reaching and effective—love for America. Her own soul was aflame with a great love and loyalty for her country. How could it be otherwise, when she had two brothers fighting across the sea ? Each day she devoted a short period to exalting American principles and ideals. At first her pupils were inclined to re- gard her with suspicion and doubt, but later responded to her emotions. Only Karl, a boy of German descent, stout- ly refused to be moved by anything his teacher might say. Although born in America, he never was known to bestow a word of praise upon the country which had done so much for him. In vain did Margaret talk to him. When, as to the others, she offered him pictures of Washington and Lincoln, he re- fused them. One night she lay awake, puzzling over this problem, the most difficult met since she had begun teaching. How could she impress upon Karl’s mind the real worth of America? What was the cause of his attitude? With a determ- ination to find out something of his home life and training. Margaret fell asleep. As time passed, she learned that after the death of his parents, Karl had been placed nnder the care of an old German woman, who had instilled German Kultur in his mind and had warned him against Americans and their principles. Although this was against her, Margaret was undaunted in her determination to Americanize Karl, whom she pitied for his loyalty to a country which was not to be trusted, and to a ruler who showed mercy to no one. One evening, near the close of the school year, while walking in one of the suburbs of the busy city. Margaret was attracted by the sound of a familiar voice, behind a large clump of bushes, which grew a short distance from the road. Stopping where she was, Margaret was stunned to hear Karl’s childish voice say, “Dear America, my America! I do love you and I hate Germany.” Then wistfully, yet trustfully he begged, “Dear God, help me to get some money to buy a Liberty Bond, so teacher’s brothers and all the other fellers can beat the Germans and come home.” Then, with a shudder, he added, “Don’t let that woman find out. because she would kill me, if she ever found out that I loved or helped America.” Hurriedly Margaret retraced her steps. Within the next twenty-four hours, Karl’s dreaded guardian was arrested as a German spy and Karl was placed in an American home. Thereafter he never hesitated to express his love for America. Then, because his new guardian did not demand all his earnings. Karl was able to save money enough to buy two Liberty Bonds. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 Leaflets From Our Classrooms. THE KEEPER OF THE LIGHT Dorothy McDonald, '22. When 1 first saw him he was rowing ashore in a small white dory. The person of whom I write was the lone keeper of a lighthouse off the island of Lanshire. This was all the information which was volunteered when I asked a companion about the picturesque old man, who was now busily securing his boat to the wharf. This accomplished, he began wending his way toward the town. He walked with that rolling stride which one long accustomed to the sea acquires, and as he passed I got a splendid view of his face. What a face that was! Fie had round, ruddy cheeks, with eyes of the bluest blue, with every trace of the sea in them. His white curly hair ap- peared rather unkempt on his head, but in marked contrast to the rest of his face were his eyebrows, drawn together in a perpetual frown. Something attracted me strangely to this old seaman, and I resolved to find out more about him. The next day, on inquiring, I heard the following story of Captain Stewart’s life. At one time he was a prosperous captain of a vessel that plied between England and the West Indies. When quite a young man a great disappointment came into his life. He then gave up his vessel and sailed to the island, of Lanshire, where he became the sol- itary keeper of the lighthouse out in the bay. When he first came, the people of the island wondered greatly about this sad- dened old seaman, but very few of them really knew the tragic story of his life. Very frequently he was known to come ashore under cover of darkness, stay for a length of time and then return. One evening, several weeks afterward, I went down to the shore for a brief stroll be- fore retiring. The wind was shrieking and the surf pounded heavily on the shore. Just then a boat glided across the path of the moonlight. As I strained my eyes in the darkness, I recognized the form of the old sea captain. “So it was quite true,” I mused, ‘‘the Keeper does come ashore, but why?” I was interrupted in my musing by drops of rain blowing in my face. There was a storm coming, and it had every prom- ise of being a fierce one. Huge threatening clouds had gathered in the sky and I real- ized I had little time to reach home before the storm broke. Toward midnight the wind rose even higher and the dismal tolling of the bell on the lighthouse, mingled weirdly with the moaning wind. Being unused to living by the sea, I did not sleep, but preferred to watch the storm. Gradually, toward morn- ing, the gale decreased. When I awoke it was broad daylight and quite a different world. Outside of my window was a flock of white sea gulls, feeding about the rock, and I stood watching them for a few mo- ments, when I looked out toward the bay, and there was the great, revolving light still flashing. I lost no time in getting down to the shore, where I met two anxious-faced guards, getting into a boat. I persuaded them to allow me to go with them, and un- der their competent hands, the boat soon reached the light, and we landed. I found the door of the lighthouse unlocked and stepped inside, when I paused. There was a strange stillness; everything seemed un- naturally quiet. In a moment I started up the dizzy, spiral stairs, and upon reaching the top,—found the Keeper of the Light quite dead; in his hands was the miniature of a beautiful young girl! A CHANGED MISER Harold J. Murphy, '22. Clang, clang! Amid the dull drone of the summer after- noon the Fire bell sent its warning. Immedi- .ately the streets were full of children running and shouting. It seemed as though the heav- ens had opened and hundreds of children and women rushed out. Above the wild clanging of the bell, the patting of feet, and the noise 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR of flying hoofs, a shout was heard. Fire! fire! In the wake of the engines were bicycles and many children, and other boys and girls who came a little later. They were heard to query impatiently, W here is it, where is it?” Just as the last engine passed, a man of medium height came to the corner where my friend and I were standing. He was shabbily dressed and carried a cane, upon which he leaned for support. Although he looked to be near sixty years of age, he was not more than forty-five. With a nod he addressed us and said, Look at that, there goes seventy-five good dollars to waste; there is no need of it, and us poor tax-payers have to carry the whole burden.” My good man,” I said, the fire depart- ment is a blessing to us, for it not only ex- tinguishes fires, but also is the cause of sav- ing many lives; it is indispensable.” What?” replied the man, do you think that?” Yes,” I answered, I do.” Huh, you wouldn’t think so if you had to pay taxes though,” he added with a sneer. At that moment the engines turned down Carrol Street. We walked as fast as we could, but were somewhat hindered by the man’s slow progress. We reached the corner of the street in about five minutes, and looked down at the engines. Why,” said the man, They are stopping at my house,” and he started down the street as fast as he could go. We reached the house in time to see a girl being taken from a win- dow by the firemen. An ambulance soon arrived and the little girl was taken to the hospital. Then the ex- citement being over, the crowd dispersed. Four weeks later, while standing on the corner, the same man came up to us and gave a glance of recognition. My boys.” he said. I am a changed man. My dear Carrie was on the dangerous list, but now, with excellent care that was given her, she is well. I realize my mistake; before I was afraid to spend enough to live on, now I am your friend.” With that we shook hands, and were happy. CARDINAL MERCIER Josephine Murphy, ’19. The huge Cathedral was crowded to the door. Every pew was filled and people stood in the side isles. Everything was quiet, and the people waited in tense expectation for the renowned Cardinal of Belgium, Cardinal Mercier, the man who did so much for the Belgian people while their country was in such a deplorable state. The people were also there to welcome King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium. At this time, the king and queen met their beloved Cardinal for the first and only time on American soil. The congregation became hushed and silent as footsteps were heard outside. Every head was turned. The doors were opened and the people saw him: a tall, slender man, with a lovable countenance; the eyes, piercing and black, perhaps the most attractive thing about his face. As he moved slowly down the isle toward the altar, he blessed the people on either side. When lie had reached the altar and was seated, the king, accompanied by his body-guard, the queen with her companions, and the crown prince, entered, and moved slowly down the aisle. The king, tall and manly, was attired in army uniform; the queen was gowned all in white; the crown prince also wore an army uniform. When the king, queen and crown prince had entered their scats, the service began. Al- though Cardinal Mercier did not officiate, he delivered a sermon.

Hale}), ’20. ‘‘What in the world is the matter with that child now?” said Mrs. Fields, as her young son rushed into the room. “Mother,” cried Tommy excitedly, “may I have ten cents?” “What are you going to invest in now?” asked Mrs. Fields. ‘Til tell you later, mother,” said Tommy, still out of breath, “but I’ll have to hurry now, or they will be all gone.” “Very well,” said his mother, “but--------” The rest of her sentence was not heard, as Tommy had rushed out of the house. A few doors from Tommy’s house lived a lady named Mrs. Spaulding, whose talent for doughnut making was widely known. While passing Mrs. Spaulding’s house on his way home from school, Tommy had scented frying doughnuts, hence his excitement. Tommy had many weaknesses, as everyone knew, but perhaps the greatest was his fondness for doughnuts. During the doughnut making process, Mrs. Spaulding, hearing a tap at the door, called a cheerful “come in.” The door opened and in walked little Mas- ter Tom. “Please, Mrs. Spaulding, I’d like a dozen doughnuts.” “Very well, my dear.” and being a gener- ous soul, she gave Tommy a real baker’s dozen, thirteen doughnuts. Tommy gravely paid her the ten cents and marched off with his doughnuts. At suppertime Tommy returned home, but did not care for any supper. Mrs. Fields looked at him anxiously, but as he seemed well she made no remarks. About one o’clock that night Mrs. Fields was awakened by terrible groans coming from the direction of Tommy’s room. She rose hastily, slipped on her clothes, and went to discover the cause of the unusual noise. In the middle of his bed, rolled up like a ball, lay Tommy. “Oh, I’m dving!” he moaned, “Oh, oh, oh!” Greatly alarmed, Mrs. Fields telephoned for the doctor. “Just a little pain in the stomach, nothing very serious,” said the doctor, with a twinkle in his eye, after he had administered a few pills to the stricken Tommy. “What has he been eating lately?” By degrees they drew out the whole story, and when Tommy was left alone he muttered indignantly. “Oh. anyway, a fellow: ought to knour thir- teen’s an unlucky number.” NOTEBOOKS AND SOME OTHER BOOKS Louise Stocf(bridgc, '21. The big clock struck eight. With a long sigh, Jimmy closed “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and placed it on the table. With an even longer sigh he opened his school books, two notebooks, a geography, and his arith- metic. One by one he opened these, trying hard to decide which to study first. Geogra- phy, yes, he would do that first. He liked it best. He turned to a big map. “North America is bounded by,” he began and stopped. For the geography had tumbled heavily to the floor, and Jimmy wras fast asleep. His lesson was exceptionally easy, Jimmy thought. Studying w'as not so bad after all. Now he must do his arithmetic. To his sur- prise the examples that had so puzzled him in school seemed very simple. His teacher had even threatened an interview with his mother because he did not do wrell in school. She wras mistaken; he wras not dull, lie would show’ her. He drew one of his notebooks toward him; to his astonishment the pages appeared clean and well written, and the mark “untidy” did not appear anywhere. He had that very afternoon been condemned as the poorest writer in his class. It did seem strange, but of course mistakes do happen. The other note book which he used for “spelling” was marked with a blue pencil. IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “excellent.” He would show it to his father; how proud he would be of his ten-year old son. My! how his eyes were smarting from studying. It did not pay, he thought; he would not do it again. But no, someone was calling “Jimmy!” With a start he awoke. Someone had called, or had he imagined it? He rose from the big armchair. What was that on the floor at his feet? His geography, and who had thrown it there? Then like a flash, he remembered. “Jimmy!” it was his mother calling him to bed. Slowly, very slowly, he trudged up the stairs to his room. He had been dreaming. That was the explanation of it all. And what was his dream about? He was already beginning to forget. It was such a nice dream, too, about books, something about some notebooks—a delightful dream! A MISHAP AT “HELL GATE.” Lydia Marvin, ’22. “You’d better not try to go through there. Captain. The tide’s running out faster and faster every minute, leaving the rocks very near the surface,” said my father. “Why, sir, there’s no reason to be alarmed. I know every rock in the Kenne- bec river,” boasted the captain. So my fa- ther subsided into a worried silence, and the large, heavily-passengered motor boat entered “Hell Gate” with its swirling eddies and barren reefs. The “Helen H.” had progressed joyously for about five minutes, seemingly unaware of her hazardous position, when suddenly she went squarely and firmly atop a jagged rock, which, in the deceptive, shadowy wa- ters, had not been seen by the pilot. Ah, captain, ’twas too bad that you had not learned that valuable lesson which teaches that one should not brag until his work is totally and well done. Knew every rock in the river, eh? But, to continue, the boat swayed to and fro, first to the left, then to the right, and then to the bow and the stern. The gloomy cliffs on the left and the shaggy-browed reefs on the right glowered in scornful Hot Stuff. Little drops of water, Frozen on lhe walk, Make the naughty adjectives Mix up people’s talk. “Does heat expand?” the teacher said, “If so, example cite.” “The days are long in summer,” Said the pupil who was bright. mockery at the humbled human beings in their sad and seemingly helpless plight, while the threatening waters seemed to re- joice in swirling and eddying about that rock which was unpityingly tearing a hole in the crippled boat. It was evident that something must be done, and soon. The captain was nervously trying to start the engine (as if motor power would drive a heavy boat over a peaked rock), while his daughter was cry- ing and whimpering, “Oh, Daddy, will it hurt the boat?” Suddenly my father was struck with a brilliant idea. “Everybody to the stern!” he yelled. “No, not the bow, the stern. You can’t drag a heavy engine and a propeller over that rock.” And so, with the weight of those of the women who hadn’t fainted or done some other equally useless thing, added to that of the engine, the “Helen H.” slid easily and gracefully off the rock, and twenty-two lives were saved. We all now realized why that narrow, ominous, and yet luring channel had been named “Hell Gate.” “Failed in Latin, flunked in math,” They heard him softly hiss; “I’d like to get the one who said That “ignorance is bliss.” Why isn’t Sp-r as studious as usual this year? Because someone behind him attracts his attention. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ii It is with regret that we announce the de- parture of Miss Osborne of the Commercial Department.

(Continued on page 16) 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR We are once more fairly launched upon a new year. In the years to come arc we going to be able to look back upon this year and say “That year’s work was a great asset in my life,” or must we say with regret that comes too late, “That year’s work was a liability in my life?” We must either go ahead in our school work or fall behind; no one can stand still while acquiring an education. It is for each one to decide whch course he wll take, the up- hill or the downhill. The uphill course is hard, discouraging, and requires much work and worry for a time, but it leads eventually to success and fame. The downhill course is easy and free from care, but its termination is failure and disgrace. Whch do YOU choose? What books shall we read? This question is one of vital importance to every high school student. Classics are required in the English courses and arc accordingly read by the students, but when it comes to outside reading do the students read the classics and authors whose works are considered as good literature, or do they read the works of some author who, bv the originality, unusual ex- citement. or romance of his works is at the moment popular? Much to their own disad- vantage it has been found that the majority of students take the greatest pleasure in read- ing the modern authors. The prevailing thought seems to be that it is old-fogyish to have a taste for the classics. Students seem to think that the classics are all right for their ciders, but for themselves they want some- thing more up to date. Many students, in- deed, think that there is no life or humor in good literature. Of course such an idea is absurd. An editor, speaking on this point, has said, “In Dickens, for instance, one may find qualities of humor that have the modern literary clown gasping for breath, and word pictures that Christy could not possibly transfer to canvas.” Nor is Dickens the only writer whose works contain humor and life. The works of Shakespeare, Irving, and many others, have these characteristics. Some one may ask, “Are there, then, no good, worthwhile books being written in our day?” Yes. there are hundreds of them, but to be able to judge correctly between the good and the bad, one must have a knowledge of the good, which comes only from studying the classics. If one begins the habit of choosing wisely the books he reads, while in high school, by the time he has reached maturity he will have cultivated a taste for the best, and will find himself greatly benefited thereby. Furthermore, one’s speech is unconsciously affected by what one reads. If a person is in the habit of reading books containing slang he soon finds his vocabulary corrupted and his ability to express himself crippled. On the other hand, it is just as true that a person who reads good Iterature continualy, finds that his spoken English steadily improves. Not only is one’s speech moulded by his reading, but his ideas and ideals, his manners and habits, and even hs character is moulded by his reading. How important it is then for high school students to read good literature. Although it is rather late for New Year’s resolutions, it would be wise for everyone to resolve to cultivate a taste for better litera- ture and better speech, that he may be better fitted to take his place in the wold a few years hence, and to keep that resolution unbroken.

Somerville High Wins Championship Honors The Medford-Somerville football game that was called off on Armistice Day because of the crowd, was played again December 1 at Recreation Field. The crowds which gath- ered at the field to witness the game were very orderly, due to the fact that the manage- ment had sufficient police force to persuade them. The cheering of the Somerville rooters was certainly the best of the season. Harry Smith and Sncider were at the head of this depart- ment, and did masterly work. Coming to the game itself, there was noth- ing to it but the Red and White. The Somer- ville team played together like a machine. The only weak point was at the extremities, where the ends were blocked in several times, allow- ing the Medford backs to get around for long gains. Somerville High Medford High Lynch, Kelleher.

Somerville Bows to Scott Breaking through the defense which Som- erville found all-sufficient in the Suburban League Championship, Scott High of Toledo crossed Somerville High’s goal twice Satur- day afternoon, December 6, and kicked one goal from touchdown. Scott proved to be the better team when their goal line was in danger, once holding off the terrific plunges of Simpson on its three-yard line for four downs. Here Somerville had its first oppor- tunity to score, had an end run or a forward pass been tried, but Patten, confident of Simp- son's ability to rip holes through Scott’s line, behind the powerful Pierce, elected to hit the line, and Scott, tightening, held for downs in the shadow of its own goal ports.

The team is entirely a new organization, and time can only show what our chances are for this year. Clean and healthful sport is our mo- tive, and those who witness our football games cannot help being impressed by such a demonstration of clean sportsmanship and school spirit as our warriors endeavor to show us. Somerville played her first game of the sea- son with the Alumni at the Medford pits. As it was our first game of the season much can be taken into consideration to account for the red and blue’s defeat. Toulouse, Higgins, Simpson (Capt.) and Powell are playing the forwards, and did extra well, considering the speed of their op- ponents. They must, however, learn to carry the puck and use body-checking to advantage. Puppy” Olson and McPhail played a good defensive game, and McNamara at the net shows promise; he must, howeer, not allow himself to be drawn out of the net when his nearest defence is pierced. lie stopped sev- eral difficult shots and seems quite at home for a new man at an all-important position. It also must be taken into consideraton that the three Downing stars played for the Alumni and if Somerville can hold the Alumni to 6-3 she can surely hold any subur- ban team in the Hockey league. If there ever was a time when Somerville had a chance to win the league championship, now is the time. From observation of the other schools, it may be hopefully said that we may look forward to the championship. ATHLETIC NOTES Don’t forget to support the hockey team this season. True it is that pleasure is marked by fleetness, therefore enjoy each sport in its season, for the school year is beginning to wane. Our support will help insure success.

But as it has been a kind of destiny that has thrown me upon this service, I shall hope that my under- taking it is designed to answer some good purpose. . . . I shall rely confidently on that Providence which has heretofore preserved and been bountiful to me, not doubting but that I shall return safe to you in the Fall. I shall feel no pain from the toil or danger of the campaign; my unhappiness will flow from the uneasiness I know you will feel from being left alone. I therefore beg that you will summon your whole fortitude, and pass your time as agree- ably as possible. Nothing will give me so much sincere satisfaction as to hear this, and to hear it from your own pen.

Rideout, ’20 Northern Maine, Aroostook County, espe- cially, is one of the greatest potato-raising dis- tricts in the world. Pile farmers of this lo- cality are experts in this line, devoting their entire attention to this crop, except for the hay and grain that are raised for home needs. I had an opportunity to watch the raising of twenty acres of potatoes, the minimum amount in Aroostook, many farms cultivat- ing seventy-five acres or more. After each year’s harvest, selected potatoes are saved for the following year’s seed. In the early spring months these potatoes are cut into pieces about the size of a plum, each piece containing one eye. The ground is plowed and harrowed in the same manner as for any other crop, although the potato thrives best in a ground that is not too wet or too dry, a sandy loam being the best soil for a big crop. A potato field is laid out in parallel rows two feet ten inches apart. The planter is so constructed that a seed drops at intervals of fourteen inches. One man and two horses operate this small, heavy vehicle. On the for- ward part there is a container for the com- mercial fertilizer, that is used in great quan- tities in this industry, approximately a ton to an acre. From this container a small tube carries the fertilizer to the ground, where slight covering of dirt is thrown over it by a pair of discs. If the seed were allowed to fall directly on the fertilizer, it would be de- stroyed by the chemicals in it, so a covering of earth is interposed between seed and fer- tilizer. The seed falls immediately behind the discs that cover the fertilizer, and it is in turn covered by means of another larger pair of discs. Thus a field after planting consists of parallel rows of ridges three or four inches in height. Immediately after the potato tops appear above the ground, a large pair of discs is drawn across the row in such a manner as to cover the green tops with fresh dirt dug from the bottom of the row. After several suc- cessive discings of this sort, the hill rises to a height of about nine inches. This is one of the most important steps of cultivation. Then the attacks of weeds and bugs must be met. The potatoes are gone over with several horse-drawn machines, the cultivator, which tears up the ground between the rows in order to kill the weeds, then by the horse hoe, which throws the dirt up around the top of the ridge and buries any weeds that the culti- vator misses. This process of cultivation is kept up until the size of the potato tops pre- vent the machines from passing through them without doing injury; then hand hoes are used instead of machinery. After the weeds have been dealt with, the bugs must be attended to. The tops are sprayed with a mixture of several chemicals, blue vitriol, arsenic, paris green, or some other poison. The bugs, after eating the leaves on which the poison has been sprayed, die. The spraying continues as long as the tops are green, being stopped when they die. This is the last process before digging. As soon as the tops have died down, digging be- gins. The digger is drawn by two horses, and operated by one man. The machine has four wheels, two fairly large, bearing the weight of the affair and connected by endless chains to manipulate the rest of the apparatus. The wheels have cogs on them to prevent the machine from turning over. The remaining two wheels are on a flexible truck; they are used only to guide the machine. The digger sits astride of the row while in operation, a sharp-pointed scoop, at a level which will dig beneath all the potatoes, levels the row to the ground. The whole row, tops, potatoes, and dirt is carried back over the scoop upon an endless revolving runway of interlocked links, driven by a chain, connected with the wheels. Here the dirt falls to the ground, the potatoes and tops arc carried to the end of the runway where the former drop through several hori- zontal bars, projecting from the end of the digger to break their fall, and the latter arc deflected by another set of bars to one side, so that after a digger has passed, there is a line of potatoes where the rod was, and a scattering of dead tops between the rows. The potatoes are picked up by hand, bar- relled. and shipped to the various markets, where they eventually find their way to some of our tables. 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 . v V V V V V V V V v V V V V V V V V ... ... ... ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ QUOTATIONS FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN ! With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we arc in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and for his orphan; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among our- selves, ancl with all nations. Tin-: Emancipation Proclamation. Now, therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi- dent of the United States of America, by vir- tue of the power in me vested as Commander- in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do on this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty- three, order and designate as States and parts of States wherein the people thereof re- spectively are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit: And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid. I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within such designated States and parts of States are, and henceforward shall be free; and the Execu- tive Government of the United States includ- ing the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons. And upon this act, sincerely be- lieved to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, I in- voke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God. Gettysburg Address Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon the continent a new na- tion conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We arc met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a large sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us—the living—rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced, t is rather for us to be here dedi- cated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take in- creased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. ♦ i • ❖ i • % ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ % Die when I may, I want it said of me, by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when I thought a flower would grow. «4� ❖ ❖ i ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ $ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ i ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ANCIENT AND MODERN DANCES Sylvia Bateman, '20 “Time the measure of all moving is, And dancing is a moving all in measure ' From the earliest times dancing has been a most important art. Dancing took a promi- nent part in religious festivals, in dramatic representations of love and war, and, among savage nations, in the art of mimicry of ani- mals. Nearly every dance, ancient or modern can be traced to one of these three sources. Mod- ern dances, although not now danced with any thought of the original meaning, never- theless are found, on careful study to have originated either in one of these sources or in a combination of them. Singing often accompanied the dancing, and from this relationship is found the deri- vation of many words formerly used only in connection with dancing, but now used purely as musical terms, such as orchestra, chorus, and anthem. Rhythm is an essential part of dancing. So, naturally music nearly always accompanies dancing. The Egyptians believed that all things in the universe moved in rhythm to music, and they represented the motion of the heavenly spheres in an astronomical dance, accompanied by the flute, lyre, and syrinx. Jt is interesting to note that every nation, no matter how primitive, has its own peculiar dances. Among the American Indians war dances and dances connected with the practice of magic, were of common occurrence. Ghost dances and a dance of death were supposed to remove evil influenes. The imitation of various animals, which the Indians thought to be their ancestors, formed an important part of their religious ceremonies. Among the Pueblo Indians, a weird snake dance takes place every second year. The dance is performed by seventeen “antelope men” and a large number of live rattlers are used. The cakewalk originated in Flordia among the Negroes, who arc said to have observed something similar among the Seminole Indi- ans. The object was dignified walking, for which a cake was given as the prize. W hence the expression, “That takes the cake.” Among the Hebrews and Greeks dancing was highly esteemed. The Bible mentions dancing many times as an expression of joy, thanksgiving or praise. In Greece, even the most noted men took delight in displaying their skill in dancing. The Greeks thought that dancing was orig- inated when, at the birth of Zeus, to prevent his being destroyed by his father Saturn, his mother Cybele, commanded her priests to dance and shout, to drown the cries of the in- fant. Dancing held an important place in the worship of the gods. A flower dance, ac- companied by singing, and known as the An- thema, was greatly similar to “Here we go round the Mulberry Bush.” The professional dancing girls of Egypt, Ja- pan and China fill a most important role. They arc the best educated among the women and arc much respected. They are carefully trained, not only in dancing, but in history, and in the art of delivering poetry, for they are expected to compose poetry on any occa- sion. Dancing girls are in demand at all fes- tivals and at funerals. Dancing was employed as a part of wor- ship in the early Christian churches. It was abolished with difficulty. From this custom comes the word choir, which is derived from chorus. Dancing in society was revived by France during the reign of Catherine de Medicis. The minuet and gavotte belong to this time. The waltz, quadrille and cotillion came from France. Carole, meaning round, was the name of a circular Christmastide dance. Now it has lost its connection with the dance and merely signifies a Christmas song. In England, country dances, maypole dances and morris dances, used to l e very popular, and recently have been revived among the school children. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 Once a man, named Kemp, danced a mor- ris dance from London to Norwich. It took him nine days to do it, and so was called the “nine daies Wonder.” Lately interpretive dancing and a revival of the ancient Greek dances have been the vogue. Isadora Duncan and Maud Allan have been largely responsible for this. For ordin- ary social purposes the waltz which has been popular for the last hundred years, the one- step and the fox-trot arc in use. At the present time dancing has lost its prestige as an art and has degenerated into an amusement. Perhaps some day it will re- gain that prestige, but now, the prospect is not bright. ALL IN A DAY’S WORK The French Flying Corps, Somewhere in France, Jan. 24, 1918. Dear James:—I suppose you will be very glad to hear from me, as I have not been in a position to write for six months. This avia- tion job is no cinch, I assure you, but if I were you I would join it rather than any other branch of the service. I believe that a person would go crazy if all he had to do would be to figure out, year after year, how he could get Fritz before Fritz got him. One consola- tion is that we won’t have to think about Fritz much longer, at least I hope not. You may like to hear an incident that befell me the other day. We aviators think of such things as all in the day’s work. My com- mander came into my tent the other night, and after returning my salute said, “Lieuten- ant, there is a German battery hidden some- where to the southeast of here, which is do- ing a great deal of damage to our supply trains and ammunition wagons. It is up to you to locate it. get the range for our big guns and also a map of the surrounding coun- try if possible. You will start early tomor- row morning. Use your judgment and get back as soon as possible: remember every minute is costing lives. 1 have no other or- ders now. I wish you luck.” While he was talking I was standing at attention, and now I saluted. The general advanced and shook hands. I knew what that meant; he did not expect to see me again. About an hour before daylight the next morning I was climbing into the pilot’s seat, the observer was already in his scat. A man stepped up, gave the propeller a whirl, and we were off. I pulled over the lever and tilted the planes upward. We shot into the air in a large spiral curve which is the quick- est way to gain height, and then turned toward the southeast. The plane we were using was of the fastest type of French observation planes. It was a beautiful thing, the spread of planes was about thirty feet, and the length about fifty feet. It had a minimum speed of ninety miles and a maximum speed of one hundred and twenty. I now looked at the speedometer. It registered ninety-five miles. We kept this speed for about three-quarters of an hour and then, just as it was getting light, we came in sight of what we thought was a large woods, but when we got straight above it we found it was an improvised clump of elms which screened a battery of six huge Krupp guns. 1 turned the planes downward to get a closer view of it and give the observer a chance at his map. The Germans now caught sight of us, but their guns were of little use, because they could not be turned so as to shoot straight up. Just as the map was finished and everything ready for the return and I was thinking how lucky we were, we sighted a big German battle plane far above us. The question now was: Will we get our valuable information back to headquarters? It was up to us. I tipped the planes slightly, so as to make a slow ascension. The observer got the ma- chine gun ready for use, and also the six bombs we carried. The German came at us firing his machine gun continually. I con- tinued the slow ascent till he was very close to me, and then, just as he let go a bomb, our plane gave a lunge forward, turned com- pletely over, in what spectators at the county fair would say was a perfect loop the loop, but which meant life or death to us. In just about a minute our swift little craft IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR was above the clumsy battle plane. Our ma- chine gun came into action, and we peppered Mr. Fritz good. When we were directly above him. one of our bombs whizzed through the air and fell directly on the Ger- man’s gas tank. In my year’s experience I have not seen a truer shot. The coolness with which the observer worked was remark- able for a practically new man. and it is to him that I owe my life this time. When last we saw the German plane, it was falling rapidly to earth and was all aflame. We reached our station in safety and our report was given in immediately. After that nothing was heard of that battery doing any more damage. It was put out of commission by our heavy artil- lery. This is only one of the many incidents that befall the aviator every day that he takes a flight. I hope I will get home soon and see you and all the rest of my friends. I remain Yours sincerely, Horace Brandt. P. S.—I dare not put my address down, for it would only l c crossed out anyway. SYMPOSIUM ON A SHELF OF OLD BOOKS I. Lena Harriman, ’21 There on the dusty shelf repose the grimy, well-worn, old volumes. Their covers are di- lapidated, their pages dog-eared and thumbed, testifying that once they were frequently used. Now the accumulation of dust upon their tattered exteriors shows that they are neglected, forgotten. But what interesing, hu- man tales of adventure, of love and hate, of joy and sorrow these silent witnesses could relate, if they they could only speak! Let us imagine that the following conversation en- sues between the old books. The silence is broken by the loud, impres- sive accents of a worn edition of Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.” “Alas! No longer do people care for such excellence as mine, nor appreciate my worth. Instead they prefer modern novels, but of what use arc they? These lx oks have a temporary fascination, it is true, for the frivolous, light-minded peo- ple of the present generation; but where are the quaint, old-fashioned, religious people of yesterday, who liked serious books? They have gone forever!” “Well.” spoke “David Coppcrfield,” “I may be old. but I have not yet lost my popularity. Only a week ago master took me from the shelf and spent several happy hours reviewing my pages.” “Bert, his oldest son, used to like me the best of all,” cried another of Dickens’ well- known works. “lie has gone away, never to return. War is a cruel thing. I heard his sister say yesterday that it was almost un- bearable without him.” A Copy of Scott’s “Rob Roy” eagerly in- ter rupted. “Do you remember the time when she, just three years old, attracted by my bright blue cover, managed to reach me and to pull me down? She tore my handsome cover the entire width across with huge de- light. Ah! but she enjoyed it, as she ripped the cloth with her little fingers. As for me— it was rather painful, and also a great blow to my dignity to be treated in that manner.” “While you are all talking about your past glories,” saucily interposed a gaudily-cov- ered novel, written in the latter part of the nineteenth century, “what about mine? After I was published and had gone to the book- store, I was taken from there almost as soon as I had come in. You will be surprised when I tell you that the mistress of this house carried me out. Who would think that such a dignified, sedate person as she would read such trash, as the critics, many years ago. so impolitely called me? Now I have lost not only my popularity, but also my former attractiveness and beauty.” “Why do you leave me out?” indignantly demanded another book of the same type. “Wasn’t I as much in demand as you? Didn’t I-----” “S-sh!” cautioned “Pilgrim’s Progress,” “someone is coming.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ii It proved to be the maid, who, muttering angrily to herself, dusted the old volumes energetically. “There!” she exclaimed aloud, “I think that will he enough for those old hooks. I don’t see why master keeps them anyway.” So saying she went downstairs. After this interruption, the shelf of old hooks seemed to lose interest in their remin- iscences. and relapsed into their former mute condition. II. By Marjory Creighton, ’21 The old hooks that stood on the shelf above the fireplace were staring fixedly at the clock. Tomorrow would he the Golden Wedding day and it was nearly morning now. A queer col- lection of hooks they were: Shakespeare’s works, Longfellow’s, Dickens’, Whittier’s and, in a little corner by themselves, were a number of child’s hooks, the old Mother Goose rhymes and fairy tales that all children love. The hooks were worn and faded, dog- eared, torn, broken, hut still staunch to the trust placed upon them, the guarding of the fireplace. They had stood there for two gen- erations and were proud of their loyalty. Longfellow’s “The Hanging of the Crane,” broke the silence. She had held the first place on the shelf, and never once during the two generations had she forgotten the fact. “I was brought,” she said, “the very first day they came to this house, and I, of course, am the only one among us who knows the en- tire story of the master and the mistress.” “Tell us the story,” the hooks cried in chorus, as they had done year after year when “The Hanging of the Crane” made this boast. “It was a gay, merry scene I first saw. The guests had come thronging to celebrate the home-coming of the two. A lovely pair the bride and groom made, and royal entertainers, too. It was a long time, though, before they entertained again. How often did 1 hear them say they were each other’s own best company, as they sat before the table set for two and exchanged tender glancs. I call their affec- tion wasted when there were but those two to lavish it upon.” “Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted; If it enrich not the heart of another, its wa- ters returning Back to their springs, like the rain, shall fill them full of refreshment; That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.” “Gems from Longfellow” spoke severely, but with pity. “The 1 langing of the Crane” continued: “So they lived for a year or two. Then the royal guest appeared. He was only a baby boy. Yet I must admit he was a winning lit- tle king; his crown was a halo of flaxen curls. He ruled with an iron rod. Enthroned in his lofty chair, he drummed on the table with his spoon and commanded all. He was a royal little king indeed. But he lost his throne and the crown was placed on his sister’s dark curls. They made a pretty picture, as they sat, side by side, their brown eyes peeping over their porridge bowls. I loved to hear their baby prattle and merry laughter. I watched them grow from babyhood to child- hood, from childhood to youth. It was like a stage set before me.” “I hold the world but as the world, a stage, where every man must play his part, and mine a sad-one,” interrupted Antonio, f rom Shakes- peare’s “Merchant of Venice.” “Can you think of nothing but your trou- bles?” cried Dickens’ “Christmas Stories.” “Hush, and let ‘The Hanging of the Crane’ continue.” “It was then that the gay times began. The table was filled with guests; maidens as beautiful and dainty as flowers, and youths as gallant and adventuresome as the knights of old. The fairest of all was my mistress’s daughter. She—” “Let me describe her.” cried “Evangeline”: “Fair was she to behold, this maiden of seven- teen summers; Black were her eyes as the berry that grows on the thorne by the wayside. Black, yet how softly they gleamed beneath the brown shade of her tresses.” (Continued on page 22) 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL radiator SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 MOTES OF THE ALVMNI CATTPBELIX 8 RECENT VISITORS Dorothy Mathews ’16, Junior at B.

Among these arc George Washington, the first president of our country; Abraham Lin- coln, the emancipator of the slaves; and Jo- seph Jefferson, one of America's foremost ac- tors of a generation ago. There are many valuable lessons to be learned from the lives of Washington and Lincoln especially. George Washington, born February 22, 1732, was brought up in a home of wealth and refiement, and the principles of right and wrong and a reverence for the Supreme Be- ing were so instilled in his soul that he never forgot them, even in trying moments. As a bay he was always the leader among his playmates, and always led his classes in school. When still a youth he proved himself a skilful woodsman and in the French and In- dian wars he was given command of a com- pany of backwoodsmen. Me so distinguished himself that he received several promotions, and at the beginning of the war of the Revo- lution he held the rank of Colonel. Soon after the Battle of Bunker Hill he was given command of the armies of the American col- onies, and served in this position till the end of the war. After the war was over and the United States of America was formed, he was made its first president. Throughout his whole life, through hardships and joys, he was ever forgetful of himself and thoughtful of those around him. He was dearly beloved by all his soldiers; his honesty and flawless character won him a place in the hearts of the statesmen of the world. He was a man whose undaunted courage, shrewdness, firm- ness and perseverance through defeats and personal grievances and lack of men and sup- plies never failed. His sagacity and diplom- acy freed our country from many troubles during the early days of its existence. In ad- dressing his men at Valley Forge he said, “You have, in a common cause, fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the ork of joint coun- sels and joint efforts—of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.” It has been truly said that George Wash- ington was “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Abraham Lincoln, born February 12, 1809, did not have such advantages in his youth as George Washington had. Lincoln was born in a log cabin on the frontier of our country. His father was a hardy pioneer. His mother was a hardworking, godly woman, who taught her children the things which made Abraham the man of strong character that took him over the rough road from the log cabin to the White House. As a boy Lincoln had to work hard, for his family were poor. Ilis days in a schoolhouse were few. IIow he learned the “three R's” by the light of the log fire, using the back of a shingle for a slate and a piece of charcoal for a pencil, is a story familiar to every American girl and boy. His thirst for knowledge far exceeded his means of acquir- ing it. From time to time he was able to bor- row a book from a neighbor, often walking many miles to obtain and return it. Lincoln remained on the farm until he was twenty- two years of age. At this time he went to Illinois, where lie was a clerk in a store for a year. At the end of the year he was elected captain of a company of volunteers in the Black Hawk war. Later he ran for the state legislature, but was defeated, but was elected in three succeeding elections. While in the legislature he began the study of law, and at (Continued on page t6) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i5 Harvard Freshmen, 5; Somerville, o Harvard Freshmen had but little difficulty in defeating the Red and I due seven on Sol- diers' field, Cambridge.

TRACK Several students in the high school felt that Somerville High School should be represented by an indoor track team, and with the kind consent of Mr. Avery, they were granted the privilege of organizing. Coach McLaughlin at once volunteered his services to coach and support a track team, and on January 15, track candidates were asked to assemble in the Somerville Y. M. C. A. to get instruction from Mr. McLaughlin and his reliable assist- ant. “Bill” Robinson. The progress thus far is very promising, and we all hope that the Red and Blue track team may get the op- portunity to compete in the big B. A. A. meet held later on in the season. “Swede” Sandstrom and “Win” Pierce are two prom- ising track stars, and the Red and Blue de- pends on them to score our points in the high jump and the shot put. (Capt.) “Howie” Stevens, “Chick” Mar- den and “Porkey” Littlefield are our most promising dash men, and with faithful train- ing there is great hopes of finding others their equal. As yet no men are actually se- lected for (he long run, but it is evident that “Farmer” Martin will stand high in the 1.000 yard run. Boston College High, 70; Somerville High, 7 Somerville High’s newly organized track team held its first meet with B. C. H. at the James St. gymnasium. As was expected, our tracksters lost, and in fact would have been almost whitewashed had it not been for Sand- strom. who finished second in the high jump and third in the broad jump. Since this was our first meet we feel that it was a test to show up our weak points. The members of the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion have taken part in the activities which were promised them at the beginning of the year. About fifty girls went tobogganing at Franklin Field, and skating, snow-shoeing and swimming have been some of the other sports indulged in. Basketball has been receiving considerable attention lately, and it is felt that with the coming of the coaches, basketball will be a great success. (Continued from page 14) the end of his third term of office he went to Springfield to practice. He was elected presi- dent of the United States in i860, and took up his duties the following March. Soon after his inauguration the Civil War broke out. It has been said that Lincoln never rec- ognized the secession of the southern states, but always considered them a part of the Union. His Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves, took effect January I, 1863. Lincoln was elected for a second term of office in 1865. The War ended on April 9, of the same year, and on April 14, while he was enjoying the evening in Ford’s Theatre, Washington, Abraham Lincoln was shot. Early the next morning he died, and both North and South mourned his death. He was the saviour of his country, emancipa- tor of the slaves, and a martyr to the cause of Freedom. He was the first real American in that he was the first who really understood the great principles for which our country stands. In the recetn struggle for world de- mocracy, his writings and speeches were fre- quently quoted. He gave expression to the great principles which must ever underly all true democracy. His whole life was devoted to the cause of human liberty. Washington, who had culture, wealth, and social position, has been called “The Aristo- crat,” and Lincoln, who lacked culture, wealth and social position in his boyhood, “The Man of the People.” The character of “Honest Abe” may well be taken as a model for any boy who intends to make the biggest possible man of himself.

Forgot my cooking hat!” A FAMILIAR SCENE It was a picture that warmed the Blood by its peacefulness; it consisted of two pretty Holmes, situated in a Littlefield. The houses were surrounded by beautiful White roses which were an inducement for the bees to P uswell. There was a pretty Lane down which we Tookcr stroll and came upon a lit- tle mill pond which was so Still that the re- flection was a perfect Patten of nature itself, we could even see the perfect reflection of the beautiful Martin perched on a Twigg. Standing in a Ray of light that seemed to i8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Pierce the darkness of the mill we saw Simp- son the Miller teaching a Newman how to grind the Rice into flour which would even- tually go to the Baker. Off to the right was a large Have Stack, by the side of which a Young Steers was grazing. At the rear of the mill we were obliged to Dodge a Carpen- ter who, with his Armstrong from his con- tinued labor, was using his extraordinary Powers to remove a large board which was not any Toulouse. We continued by taking a Rideout to the Townshend in our 1 ludson, where we had to Ford a river in order to reach our destination, the town of Holman. Heard in 102: Samuel Johnson has been lost!

Editor A French Club consisting of thirty mem- bers has been formed by members of the three Junior divisions F, B-D, II Fr. B. The first meeting was held January 27 at the home of Miss Van Ummersen, the Secretary. Miss Bowker, of the French department, will su- pervise the meetings. The object of the club is to give prac- tice in speaking French outside the regular classes. The club is planning to have a meet- ing every month, and will have interesting programs. The Radiator will gladly publish reports of any other such organizations. We wish that the Junior Class would take more interest in its column in the Radiator. Very few notes have been passed in for the last two months. Pass all notes to the Radia- tor representative in your home room. They are: Horton—201. Holmberg—202. Coyne—203. Catani—209. Miller—210. Ricker—211. C. Smith—213. Truesdale—214. Fletcher—215. Corliss—105. We are glad that Baruffaldi and Corliss and their physical training group could uphold 1921, by winning the championship of the school, even if the Junior girls couldn’t.

If they should charge for shoes by the foot, Rawson would go into bankruptcy. All our classmates who went on the Junior sleigh-ride (or who didn’t go) will tell you what a fine time they had.—Maybe.

DAWES (1920) The pupils and teachers of our school who knew Miss Dawes feel a keen personal loss in her death. By her noble character and sunny disposition she had endeared her- self to so many of 11s. Always cheery, al- ways ready to do her part, she will long be remembered. Personally T had the privilege to make her more intimate accpiantance four years ago at a summer camp. Her innocent, in- genuous. lovable ways attracted old and young. Ruth would so willingly do for others: and who could refrain from doing for her what gave her pleasure? With what enthusiasm she borrowed a book; and with a corresponding appreciation expressed her- self at its return! As she advanced in her high school course, we teachers learned to rely upon her. She was conscientious about her work, as one of our teachers so well expressed, joy- ously conscientious in her striving for the best: and so often Ruth gave evidence of this characteristic.

How many of our objectives have we won? Are we going to measure up at the end of the year as success or failure? These and sim- ilar questions we, as members of the student body, should be asking ourselves today. The few remaining months will pass so quickly that June will take us unawares if we are not alert and wideawake. There is no time for procrastination. Each of us must do his work faithfully and at the appointed time. Each must put his shoulder to the wheel and push. Seniors. Are you as nearly ready for col- lege or business life as you should be? These last months before graduation call for greater energy, concentration and development than has any previous time during your school career. You are on the last lap of a great race and it depends upon your own selves whether you win or lose. The coaches have done their part, now all rests with you. Re- double your energy and get ready for college or if these are your last months of school gain as much from them as posisble. Juniors. You are drawing nearer to the time when you will become the seniors and will be called upon toassume greater respon- sibilities than ever before. Are you pre- pared to take up your new duties ami to carry them succesfully forward? If not do not neglect the opportunity which is afforded you by these last few months. First Year Students. In the few months that you will remain First Year Pupils gain the greatest posible amount of knowledge. Graduation may seem far away to you, but the years will pass quickly. The greater the preparation you make in your first year, the easier your senior year will be for you and the greater will be your chance of getting into college or of being successful in bus- iness. PROTECT THE BIRDS We have with us this winter many of our feathered neighbors who, for some reason or other, have not gone south. We also have visitors from northern fomilics which have been driven this far south in search of food. Many people do not realize what a large number of birds stay here all winter and what an immense amount of good they do. Among these winter friends are the bluejay, crow, bobwhite, ruffed grouse, red-should- ered and other hawks, screech owl, great horned owl, downy wood-pecker, flicker, nuthatch, and bluebird. Even robbins stay sometiems. The majority of people think that the blue bird and robin come with the spring, and so they do in many localities, but there arc some places where they remain the year round. Besides thes birds, as has al- rady been said, there are those which come from the north; the junco, tan sparrow, snowflake, pine goosebcak, northern shoihe, red-breasted nuthatch, and golden-crowned Kinglet. In the summer, of course, there arc hundreds of birds which come back from the south. The need for protection, both in winter aha in summer, is greater than most people believe. Dozens of species of biids most helpful to the farmer have been entirely lost through thoughtless and unsportsman- like killing, and there arc many more species which are threatened with the same fate.

Pain 1 es, the boy s life of the man who wrote Tom Sawyer. We have read, with a great deal of interest, this popular book and nave made ourselves so acquainted with the char- acters in it that we surely would recognize every one if we met them again. Well here is your chance to prove it for in the “Boy’s Lite of Mark Twain” you will discover that many of little Sam Clemen’s friends are the very once portrayed in his story. Read this book and learn of all his boyish escapades, and of the many steps that finally led to his fame and file name of Mark Twain. “Boy’s Life of Theodore Roosevelt” By Hermann Hagedorn A book which will especially interest the boys, for Teddy was a true blue boy through and through. You all know Theodore Roose- velt as a man and I’m sure you would like to know him as a boy. Here is your oppor- tunity for if you (read this book you will certainly know him. It relates all his boyhood experiences among which there are many thrilling ones too, such as encountering bears and tigeds in their dens. Boys, and girls loo, you couldn’t pick a more interesting story but “it was all in a life time.” From his ninth year on Teddy kept a diary from which Hermann Hagedorn got most of his facts. “Florence Nightingale” By Laura E. Richards Now we have a book which will especially interest the girls. The first woman to risk her life under fire! This book is very ap- propriate for this time because what Florence Nightingale did in the Crimean war thou- sands of girls did in the world war. This book tells how she got her name and three homes, how she was chosen as nurse, how she acted under fire and all about her life at the close of the war. Luther Burbank By Henry S. Williams Luther Burbank, the great naturalist, was born in Chester, Massachusetts, although he is generally thought of as a native son of California. He was a boy of an unusually mechanical turn of mind, going as far as to invent some devices for a machine in the factory in which he worked. Read this book and find out what else he has done. “MARY LYON” By Gilchrist This book will be very interesting to those girls who arc intending to go to Mt. Holyoke for Mary Lyon was it’s founder. She had a very hard struggle to gain an education but met with success through her perseverance, she taught (a) in a state of Maine school and then in the year 1837 founded Mt. Hol- yoke Seminary which is now Mt. Holyoke college. This book reviews her life at home, at school, and as her pupils knew her. THE STORY OF A CHILD By Pierre Loti This is the story of his own childhood from the very first thing he can remember, which was his cstasy at knowing how to jump. He put his two tiny feet together, raised them for just half a second from the floor and came down with a gentle thud, at first he was quite surprised and then instead of Vrying he burst out laughing, he knew how to jump! This is a sweet, simple little story similar to the childhood of any person. “SAMUEL W. McCALL” By L. B. Evans Ex-governor of Massachusetts, if you did not read about him when he was governor, as you should have done, read about him now. The first chapter contains his boyhood and young manhood, while the remainder of the book consists of his presidency of Dart- mouth and twenty years of legislation. LOUISA MAY AI COTT By Moses We Ti.ll know Louisa Alcott and love her through her books. Her books never held our interest by their thrills and plots but by the charm of everyday life which they contain. If you have ever read “Little Women,” you have read her life story as she is Jo, but why not read another version of that same sweet life. 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Gruelling Hike to the Soissons Sector Harry Field, 1916. The following events occurred in France, from July 15, 1918, to July 18, 1918. The Second Division, composed of a brigade of Marines, and a brigade of Dough Boys, was resting up Iroin the effects of a severe strug- gle at Chateau '1 hierry. '1 hey were lying held in reserve, in a small French town, back of Belleau Woods. At noon on the fifteenth day of July, a glor- ious summer day, too, the Second Division re- ceived word to “Pack up,” and “Stand bye,” ready to move. The Fourth Brigade of Ma- rines, which this narrative chiefly concerns, wondered what destination was to be theirs at this time, as it was only ten days since they had been relieved out of Belleau Woods. The Marines had made a name for their Corps at Chateau Thierry, which had gone into his- tory, and one to be proud of ever after. Their courage and spirit had been praised as of the highest calibre by military experts. Now again, as it proved, this body of Uncle Sam’s fighters was to be put to another test. As the sun was setting on this day, one long to be remembered by the Marines, these Dev- il Dogs’’ boarded the French Camions, enroute for their next scene of combat with the Huns. This train of camions was one of the longest that ever transported troops to a battlefield in France. As far as one could see, there was a trail of dust from this moving caravan of pul- sating humanity. All night long they rode, packed into those busses like sardines. However, no matter how uncomfortable those plucky “Devil Dogs” were, they made light of the matter by sing- ing songs, and cracking jokes. When day dawned at last, on a foggy, misty morning, they found themselves covered with a thick coating of dry, fine dust. The men resembled figures of chalk, rather than human beings. The journey continued until around noon, when, on the outskirts of a small village, the caravan came to a stop, and began discharging its precious load of troops. Along the road-side the men were formed, and the command was given to “Stack arms,” and. “Fall out”. Then a ration of “Corned Bill” and “Hardtack” was issued, to which the tired, hungry men did more than ample justice. Then the long, weary hike began, which was ever afterwards remembered as the most se- vere test of the abilities of the human body that could be exacted. The troops were light hearted enough as they started off, although their packs were very heavy and uncomfor- table. All during the hot afternoon, the hike pro- gressed, winding in and out, through the hills, along the hard, dusty French roads, until at nightfall the famous Coteret Forest was reached. And then the troubles really began. Along a road which was encumbered with ev- ery possible kind of vehicle, such as caissons, tanks, artillery, both light and heavy, field kitchens, wagon trains and cavalry, this in- fantry had to wend its way in the pitch black darkness. A slight rainfall had commenced, too, which added to the disagreeablcncss of the already most trying situation. The darkness was so intense, that one had to keep in touch with the man ahead of him, in order to prevent the column from being dis- connected. Now and then, a curse would be heard, as some Marine would, unknowingly, touch a mule or horse, receiving a not too gentle caress in return. Or maybe some un- fortunate would venture too far to the right of the road, and slip into the ditch, emerging covered with mud, and soaked to the skin. According to Army Regulations, while on the march, ten minutes rest is accorded out of every sixty minutes’ hiking, a period of time which is always welcome, and only too short a period to ease those aching bones. As the night wore on, the darkness seemed to increase, if that were possible. The weari- ness of the troops was most evident. Towards morning the sound of our barrage was wafted to us on the breezes, making us forget our troubles for a while and urging us on at a greater speed. Just before daybreak, we climbed a long, steep hill, and arriving at the top, discarded our packs. We then resumed the march, with the roar of our cannon growing steadily loud- er, as we neared the lines. ’Twas just at daybreak as we arrived at the edge of a small wood, just in time to deploy in battle formation, and start “Over the Top,” (Continued on page 22) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 ROTTEN APPLES By A. H. Murray Mr. Murray Arnold was editor in Chief of the Radiator in 1915-16 and entered Harvard from our school. If you arc criticised, don’t get angry. No one wastes time picking spots out of rotten apples. We admit it takes grit to endure criticism, but if you can smile and remember that it is for your benefit, you have overcome a great obstacle in the path of success. If you drop a plank on a cork in the water with a tremendous splash the cork will bob up as serenely as if nothing had happened, and lie quietly once more on the surface of the water. And so any young man in business when a smashing blow of criticism is aimed ati him will allow the real meaning of the rebuke to soak in,” and side step gracefully to continue calmly with his work. Of course there are times when certain criticism is not deserved, but if you have cultivated the habit of invariably doing your best, and have brought yourself to the point when no provocation can make you abate your energy in the least, you have become a master in your work, and any criticism whether honest or otherwise will have no effect in lowering your desire to do good work or in changing your attitude towards your task. Endeavor wherever posible to avoid giving cause for criticism but don’t allow criticism to result in a half-hearted style of work the next day. Keep the ball of accomplishment rolling. The flying fullback, plunging across the line with the ball, and with only a min- ute in which to make good before the whistle blows, doesn’t think of the slipperiness of the ground he is running on, or shudder with anticipations of the impact when he secs a savage adversary bearing down on him; he doesn’t think of the chances of a broken col- lar bone—he thinks about the touch-down. On the gridiron of success, grit your teeth in determination to do your best even if the outer side” rushes in on you and the oppos- ing linemen” get a chance to break through and if you have the wrong attitude, block the play and throw you back for a loss. All credit to the man who after being tackled by criticism can come through on the next play and score a touch-down. In the last analysis one of the greatest cures for honest criticism is to have enough enthusiasm in your work to be able to wipe out any rankled feeling left in your mind. Enthusiasm—belief—earnestness have done more to swing the pendulum of success than any other virtues we know. There is an old saying that all men are worth about a dollar and a half from their feet to their chin, but for the rest of the way, from the chin up their value is apt to range anywhere from two cents to a million dollars. This rule applies to all. One man is as good as another from the feet to the chin— it doesn’t make much difference whether he is young or old, tall or short, foppish or slouchy—his value depends on the quality of the stuff within his cranium. Let the moral of the Rotten Apple Story” sink in. If you’re worth while correcting, you’re worth while keeping. Helpful honest criticism is worth while, and like a ball re- bounding from the wall, you can send the criticism back to your critic not in dis- gruntled complaints, but in better work, keen- er intelligence, and more eager enthusoasm. THE ONLY MAN WHO COUNTS In the unending strife for civic better- ment small is the use of those people who mean well but who mean well feebly. The man who counts is the man who is decent and who makes himself felt as a force for decency, for cleanliness, for civic righteous- ness. He must have several qualities, first and foremost, of course, he must be honest, he must have the root of right thinking in him. That is not enough. In the next place he must have courage: the timid man counts but little in the rough business of try- ing to do well the world’s work. And finally, in addition to being honest and brave, he must have common sense, if he docs not have it, no matter what other qualities he may have, he will find himself at the mercy of those who, without possessing his desires to do right, know only too well how to make the wrong effective. —Theo. Roosevelt. IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR HEEDLESS RHODA Nellie K. Wilder, '20 Pretty Rhoda Thomas sighed deeply and shook her blonde head. “No use,” she mur- mured, “mother will say ‘no' but oh! I’d love to go,” and she re-read the letter which she had just received. Just at that moment, Mrs. Thomas, a pale, tired woman, entered the living room. “Who is your letter from, Rhoda, dear?” she asked, putting her arms lovingly around her daugh- ter. “Frances Gray,” she replied. “Listen!” she went on eagerly reading aloud, “I am giving a week-end before I leave for the South. Do come. Grace, Helen and Maizie are coming, besides Laurie French. Let me know by wire your reply. Frank.” “Mother, may 1 go?” pleading with her big blue eyes as well as with her voice. “Well—” began Mrs. Thomas, “I suppose so. But do be careful. Don’t go without a sweater if it is a bit cold, don’t wet your feet, take care of yourself, you’re all I have,” and she tightened her embrace. Three weeks later, Rhoda was met by a gay crowd of enthusiastic young girls and boys. “Hello there,” and “Don’t you look dear!” “How are you?” were the greetings she received, besides several kisses. “A snow-shoe party tonight,” said Fran- ces, as the gay young people drove off in the big machine. Skating parties, skiing, ice boating, coast- ing, sleighing parties, followed each other inquick succession. All too soon the week- end was over. This was to be the last good time, a great ball. Rhoda standing in the middle of the room, surveyed herself in the long oval mirror. The pale blue evening frock set off her fair complexion admirably. “You look darling tonight Rhoda,” de- clared Helen coming into the room. Together they made their way into the ball room. “Oh! I’m so warm,” later declared Rhoda to Laurie, and walked over to the door lead- ing onto the veranda. “Rhoda, you’ll catch cold,” declared Laurie looking helplessly about for some- thing to put over her. “Of course not Laurie, I’ll only stay a second,” saying which, she opened the door and stood in the cold, sharp January wind. As quickly as possible Laurie pulled her inside and shut the door. “Are you crazy?” he demanded. “If you want to go out, get your coat on and we’ll go.” But this didn’t appeal to Rhoda. “No, let’s dance,” she answered, and away they whirled. Suddenly the hostess exclaimed, “Jack has just suggested a snow-ball fight. How many would like to have one?” All immediately fell in with the plan and hurried to get their wraps. Rhoda was too excited over the coming good time to think of any of the repeated warnings which her mother had enumerated. Not finding her rubbers at hand, she carelessly rushed off without them. The merry crowd met outside and sides were quickly chosen. “Rhoda, get some of that heavy snow over there,” directed Laurie, busily making snow balls, but alas! the snow ball fight never came off, for Rhoda, hurrying to get the desired snow slipped on the treacherous strip of ice, fell and sprained her ankle. At the mishap, the once merry group be- came serious young people, and Rhoda, hav- ing fainted, was carried to the house. “What happened ?” she asked weakly, a short time afterwards of someone crying softly at her bedside. “Mother you here!” sitting up suddenly but falling back with the pain. “Oh,” she moaned, “my leg and my back, how they ache.” “Lie still, dear,” said her mother who had come in answer to a telegram, quieting her by the touch of her cool hand. Beside the sprained ankle Rhoda had a severe case of Influenza and it was only by the skill of the physician that she became a strong, healthy girl again. “I’ve learned my lesson,” she murmured, “I’ll always be careful after this.” Wanted—A good all round man.

George Novack, ’22 A man paused in the doorway of the Ra- cine House and looked carefully about him, minutely scrutinizing the features of the few people who lolled in front of the hostelry. Apparently satisfied with the result of his ob- servations, he stooped and picked up the black bag which he had laid on the floor beside him and descended the steps to the street. After walking a short distance, he halted and gazed behind to sec if anyone was follow- ing him. On being assured that no one was interested in his actions, he gripped his sat- chel more firmly and hurriedly made his way up the street, now and then glancing back nervously over his shoulder to make certain that he was not being trailed. In a short time he reached the corner of Liberty and Tenth avenues, where he was seized with an attack of fright on seeing the traffic officer and a patrolman talking over the topics of the day and the general orders issued to them before they leave for their posts. With a frightened movement he sought for some means to avoid them—for some place to secrete the valuable bag. He even considered retracing his steps and re- turning to the hotel. Rut that he determined not to do; what he had commenced he would carry through whatever happened. So, mus- tering all his courage, he brushed past the two guardians of the law with quick, nervous steps. When he gained the opposite curb he great- ly increased his pace. He dared not go back for fear that the officers might be after him, yet, he was afraid to advance, as there might be new and greater dangers ahead. What was to be done? He searched his brain for some method to escape. He- turned many ideas over in his mind but none seemed feas- ible. At last, having formulated a suitable plan, he slipped into the first convenient door- way and waited anxiously for the patrolman to pass. Soon, along came the officer, patrolling his beat. The man crept into the shadows and flattened his body against the wall as soon as he heard the policeman’s heavy footsteps resounding on the pavement. The patrolman, greatly to the man’s relief, went by without bothering to inspect the hallway. After wait- ing for about five minutes, the man pulled his hat down over his eyes and left the building. He congratulated himself that he had out- witted the officer when he saw that the ser- vant of the statutes was not in sight. So, in a more confident manner he continued his in- terrupted journey. He watched sharply, nev- ertheless for any signs of his pursuer, but the policeman seemed to have completely disap- peared. Suddenly he was acosted by a bluff and hearty looking gentleman who apparently knew him. The mysterious one however ab- solutely ignored him and hastily hurried on. The astonished person stared at the fast dis- appearing figure. “Well, I’ll be darned,” he exclaimed in amazement, “but 1 was sure that that was Jim Higgins,” and he went on his way, wondering why his friend had not ac- knowledged him. After this encounter the man with the valise carefully avoided the few pedestrians which he passed. Soon, lie reached his objective, which was an imposing brown-stone front res- idence in a reputable neighborhood. Opening the gate, he made his way to the rear of the house. There he halted at the entrance of the cellar, evidently familiar with his sur- roundings. Taking a key from his jxicket he fitted it in the lock; opened the door; and stealthily entered the cellar. After having bolted the door securely in order to make sure that he would not be interrupted, he switched on the electric light. Being convinced that there were no eaves- droppers about, he picked up the bag, opened it and drew forth its contents. He then turned to a small booth in the corner of the cellar and kneeled before it. Twisting the knob, first to the left, once to the right and then making a complete revolution, he opened a cleverly concealed and constructed safe. Then, with a last long, lingering look he placed in the vault the object that he had gone through so many dangers to secure and one which was worth its weight in gold—a bottld of champagne, Finis SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A SCRAP OF BROWN PAPER By Lillian Pierce, ’20 A scrap of brown paper; of not much im- portance you say? Perhaps not; but it was a mere “scrap of paper” on which was written the guarantee of Belgian neutrality over which the great war was fought. That piece of paper was of fairly great impor- tance, and the scrap of brown paper in this case was just as important to Tim O’Calla- han, fonder newsboy and graduate of South Boston slums. He was now a news mer- chant with a stand on the corner of Wash- ington and Summer Streets, or at least he had been before the night of July 19. Since that time, a period of three months, he had been an occupant of cell No. 35 in the city jail. Morning newspapers of Boston for July 20 told the story of one of the most daring street-car hold-ups in years. The Lake Street and Commonwealth Avenue car had been held up at the end of the line in New- ton, the conductor stunned and robbed of $200. His description of the robber was that he was a young man, wearing a mask over his face and dressed in a gray tweed suit. The description, minus the mask of course, fitted Tim exactly, and Tim himself admitted he had been on that car when it reached the end of the line. Tim also claimed that he had taken a transfer for a Newton car, punched for 11.30 P. M. The robbery so the conductor declared, had occurred at 11.40, which was just five minutes after the Newton car left. If Tim could only prove he was on that car he would be cleared. That was where the scrap of brown paper came in. If you remember, Lake Street-Common- wealth Avenue transfers are made of brown paper. The conductor on the Newton car remem- bered distinctly that he had had five passen- gers on his car when it pulled out of the term- inal, but he was able to produce only four transfers and when called to the jail to iden- tify Tim he did not recognize him as one of the five. If he had been able to produce the missing transfer it would have cleared the Irish boy of the charge. But as he reported but four it looked as though Tim would serve a ten year sentence at Charlestown, despite the fact that he protested his innocence. The newspapers wrote up the case and gave it a great deal of publicity. Reporters searched the street car and the company’s files for that missing transfer but it was all of no avail and on August 15 the bright faced Irishman, still protesting his innocence, started to serve his ten year sentence, and soon was wholly forgotten by Boston. One cold afternoon in November, about two months later, Isaac Rosenberg, a tailor, with a little shop on lower Washington Street, rushed excitedly into police headquarters, waving frantically a slip of brown paper. Upon examination it was proved to be a Lake Street-Commonwealth Avenue transfer, No. 82759 punched for 11.30 P. M., July 19. It was the very transfer that would and did prove Tim’s guiltlessness! How did the little tailor get it? That’s easy. While pressing the suit of conductor No. 1313. as he was going through his usual procedure of placing his hand in each pocket in order not to ruin any valuables thought- lessly left there, he drew out the transfer from one of the inside pockets where it had been absent mindedly placed. Remembering hav- ing read in the papers of the search for a transfer, he inspected it and found that it was the very number for which they had been looking. The proof was at hand. In two days the governor’s pardon was delivered to cell No. 35 an(l a few days later business men, who passed Washington and Summer Streets daily, were once again buying their newspapers from a cheery faced Irishman. A scrap of brown paper had wrought this miracle. Dirlam’s numerous rings are Woolworth the money (well worth.)

CANDIDATES The battery candidates for the baseball team arc training in the Somerville Armory every afternoon under the instruction of our newly appointed baseball coach, “Sylvia” McLaughlin and our newly elected captain, George Dowd. The work of the candidates who report at practise for the various posi- tions on theteam has been of sterling value, and it is extremely difficult for the coach to make any sort of choice, but the following list looks good, and the Red and Blue arc looking forward with high hopes of having a championship team. “Dave” Donaldson, the most famous catcher in greater Boston and a veteran of basebal for the past two years will do the catching for us this year. George Dowd, captain of the Red and Blue nine this coming season, and a baseball and football veteran for the past three years, will play second base, and his heavy stick work and stellar fielding ability should win him a place on the “all-suburban” aggregation. “Rollo” Barker is slated for the brunt of the box work, and this level headed, cool kid shows lots of promise. The choice of a sub- stitute pitcher is yet undecided. The supply of box material is rather scanty this season. “Jim’ MacNamara. agiant of strength on the football eleven will toe the initial sack unless Harry Smith or Francis White show themselves bis superior when out-door prac- tise comes. “Hord” Brandt, a new comer from Ohio, looks popular for third. He has the advan- tage of a year’s experience with the Marine Baseball Team. Brandt was captain-elect of the baseball nine in his native town be- fore he jointed the Marines. “Myles” Toulouse is going to play short stop, and nothing need be said about his ability as a baseball player. “Rip” Lavarty will play the outfield for the beginning of the season and this little goal tender of the hockey team spears them left and right. “Pup” Olson, a “sub” on the football team will be a ton of relief toassist “Dave” be- hind the bat. “Ren” Currier and Charlie Harding will assist Barker in the box. As yet the outfielders for the baseball nine are somewhat uncertain but many promising candidates have reported to the coach, among them are Jim Hagan, veteran of last years baseball team, “Harve” Baker, Tom O’Con- nell, Jack O’Hare, “Eddie” Burns and Tom Twigg. The sporting editor will place the 1920 baseball schedule in the next issue of the radiator. BASKET BALL Lovers of this sport have organized an independent team under the name of “The Somerville High School Independents.” They have played only two games this sea- son and among their victories is Somer- ville’s ancient rivals, Medford. Score 22-7- The team consists of O’Connell. Kellehcr and Patten, forwards. White and Gilrey, centers, Twigg and McPhail, backs, Base ball is now coming. Let us support our team this year not only by buying a Season Ticket but by attending every game possible. EXCHANGE NOTES IsabelI Carpenter, Excange Editor. Per. Dorothy Baker The last month we have received very few exchanges. We wonder if other schools have forgotten that we are always pleased to receive their papers and are interested in what they arc doing. The Monitor. Wellesley, Mass. Your stor- ies arc excellent.

IN MEMORIAM During the past year we have lost two of our dear classmates, Kathleen Payette, a mem- ber of the commercial course, died December 27. 1919, after a prolonged illness. Ruth E. Dawes, a member of the college course passed away suddenly, February 28, 1920 from double pneumonia. They were both faithful and enthusiastic scholars, ready to serve whenever the opportunity presented it- self.

Protect the Birds (Continued from page 6) The decrease of our native birds has caused such great losses that we would scarcely be able to realize it, should we see the amount expressed in dollars and cents. It is said that the people of the United States suffer a loss of a billion dollars a year due to the destruction of crops and fruit trees by insects. Many devices have been tried, and hundreds of trees literally sacrificed, to do away with the pests, but no human agency can begin to cope with the problem as can the birds. The amount of good they do can never be estimated. Of course there are de- structive birds, just as there are destructive people, but they are few in number and even they do some good. The farmers realize the great good done by the birds. In many states the governments realize it and have made laws for the protection of the birds. Are we in the city going to neglect our duty? Every time we provide food for and save the lives of birds which have hen driven into the city in search of food wc have in reality saved hundreds of dollars worth of fruit and grain which these birds will pro- tect when they return to the orchards and fields in the spring. When wc protect the birds wc protect the crops and thus increase production, which means a blow at the High Cost of Living. A few crumbs a day may mean the saving of the lives of many birds.

The Gruelling Hike (Continued from page 8) foot-sore, weary and hungry, but all forgotten in the more important business at hand, which proved at the end of the day, to be another point in favor of the Allies towards crushing the Hun.

Memorial Day was first established in 1866, after the Civil War, and consequently it has commonly been supposed that this holiday was set aside to do honor only to those who fought and died in the Civil War. But on Memorial Day we honor all those men who defended America in all our wars: in the Revolution: in the War of 1812: in the Mexican War, in the Spanish-American War, and in the Great World War. But we honor more than these: we honor the mothers, and the fathers, and the wives, who gave their sons and husbands to the country; who sent their boys away to fight for peace and liberty. We honor also the Red Cross nurses, and all the organizations that ministered to the health and comfort of our nation’s defenders in times of war. On Memorial Day, our spirit should be that of reverence. We should attend the memorial exercises in honor of the dead: we should perhaps place flowers on some dead soldier’s grave; we should reflect on their sacrifices. The thought of what they have done may give us a greater love and a greater pride for America. On Memorial Day in the past, we have seen marching or riding in the parades, vet- erans of two wars; but hereafter we shall see the veterans of three wars. The boys who fought for the United States in France, have come home; and hereafter, we shall honor them also. In their native land, in a period of its history which we all trust will be one of peace and plenty, they can forget the sufferings and privations they have ex- perienced, the frightful scenes they have witnessed, the nerve-wracking battles they have been through. And those who have not returned, who lie buried in the battle- fields of France, they also shall be honored. “Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead, Dear as the blood ye gave, No impious footstep here shall tread The herbage of your grave; Nor shall your glory be forgot While Fame her record keeps, Or honor points the hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps.” UULSJiJUULQJLSJULO-QJLSLSUL JLfiJLQJLQ SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'innnrtfTtnmnr ?r oTQnmnrrr5TnmnnroimmrT VOL.

In one corner of the brilliantly lighted room, by the door, stood a slender young girl. In her face a rather wistful glance rested, as she watched the swirling figures and heard their happy and joyous exclama- tions and laughter. Her heart beat suffo- catingly, and she raised her hand to her bosom, as if to lessen its beating. Unsteadily she walked out of the gaily decked room into the dark corridor. She sank into a chair and breathed a sign of re- lief. No one had seen her leave. She was sure of that. Would she accomplish what she had set out to do? She stood up, and trembling, crept along the hall, her nerves keyed to the highest pitch. Suddenly she paused at the sound of a footstep in back of her. Then, laughing softly to herself, an uncanny and hoarse little laugh, she pro- ceeded to the stairway. Ascending softly she hestitated on each step to listen intently for any sound. She reached the second landing and halted abruptly, a pucker on her brow. Where was the room? Dubious- ly, she turned to the left and walked into a dimly lighted chamber. In the bed and chairs lay countless dresses and feminine apparel, in charming disarray. A glittering gem caught her glance, as she moved towards the white dressing table. Cau- tiously she advanced and, reaching out her shaking hand, she grasped the jewel, con- vulsively. Thrusting it into a fold of her dress, she held her hand there, arrested bv a stealthy footstep outside the door. She lifted her head, startled. The reflection in the dressing table mirror, she noticed, was pale, ghastly pale, and cowering. As she gazed into the mirror another and dark form, indistinct in its outline, gradually came forward until it was beside her own. And then, through the absolute stillness of the softly illumined room came a voice, low, rich, yet hoarse,— “Why?” Slowly, hesitatingly, she turned her head and saw him who had spoken. She saw a man with a noble and commanding counte- nance. Like two in a dream they stood, neither moving; her hand at her throat, lips slightly parted: and he, standing upright, hands clenched at his sides. Suddenly, the tension broke. She shivered as if cold, swayed, and all grew black, black! Then a voice from far away murmured, ‘Oh! not that. Oh! that she might live!” At this she opened her eyes and encount- ered the eyes of this stranger. Slowly her befogged brain became clearer. She re- membered now why he was there: why she was there. Her hand crept along her dress, until it reached the fold wherein she had placed the jewel. It was gone! She raised herself from her reclining posi- tion in the chair, and looked at the man be- side her. Her eyes traveled from his dark, closely clipped hair, to his full dress suit, and back again to his face, which looked drawn and haggard “So! he said, commandi'ngly, firmly, yet kindly. “No one shall ever know, if you go now. Do you understand?” “I understand,” was her answer, tremu- lous and sweet, as she rose to comply with his request. At the door, however, she halted, and in a firmer voice questioned, “Why do you do this for me? You do not know anything about me, or why I came here, or how?” “It does not matter. Go, and never yield to temptation again, as you did this eve- ning. “But you do not understand. May I tell you why I came?” “she asked, impulsively, and came over towards him. Without an answer to her query, she seated herself and went on. “I am a poor girl. Yes, poor,” she re- peated. as she noticed that he glanced at her dress with raised eyebrows. “You look at my finery. Perhaps you think that is stolen, too. No, you are mistaken. It be- longed to mv mother, in the days when she had plenty of money, which were years ago. Listen. I will tell you my story from the beginning.” “Years ago, twenty-one years ago. to be exact, T was born in a little village. At my birth, my mother died, leaving my father and me alone. My father, however, did not remain long with me. as lie traveled a great deal on business, but went away a few weeks after my mother’s death. A family, 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR great friends of my parents, took me in and treated me as their own. From the day of my father's departure, up to my sixteenth year. I did not see or hear from him. I often wondered how he could stay away, so long from his only child. If 1 had only known! One day, I remember it so clearly, it was on my sixteenth birthday, I was seated in the garden, reading. The yard was large, and from where I was sitting, I could see nothing of the house, so I felt entirely alone. Hearing a bird’s familiar cry, I turned to answer it, when I noticed a bent and white haired man, advancing towards me, by way of the path. He walked as if every step caused him pain. I got up and went to him. as 1 thought it was some beggar coming for alms and I intended to give him some of my pocket money. As 1 reached him and spoke to him, a dazed look appeared in his eyes. ’It can’t be!’ I heard him mutter. ‘Yet it is her voice!” ‘Whose voice?’ I asked. Then he pronounced a name which made me open my eyes with astonishment. It was my mother’s! “ ‘No,’ I answered, gently taking the man by the arm, ‘I’m her daughter. My mother died when I was born.’ At that, the same old wistful look came back to his face. “‘Ah, ves,’ he said, grasping my arm tightly, and starting to walk up the path with me, ‘so she did, so she did,’ he repeated. And then, as we plodded along, slowly, to my favorite nook, he gave me the greatest surprise of my life. T am your father,’ came from the lips of this white haired man. I looked at him, in- tently. Was this man really my father, the man whose picture laughed at me so pleas- antly every time I looked at it? Was this old man my father as I had pictured him? Oh, no! “To make a long story short, it was my father. He, at my mother’s death had re- ceived a severe mental shock, lie had been put away in an infirmary. That was why I didn’t see or hear from him. I realized then, that people had tried to save me from knowing about my father and where he was, by saying that he was on a long journey. With medical treatment, however, he had recovered and was now ready to come back to the life he had so abruptly left. “A week after this episode we went away to live together in a little house, given to us by our friends, with whom I had been staying. I took care of my father for five years; five peaceful and happy years. But, one morning, I came into his room and found him in convulsions. I hastily called the doctor. When he had gone. I sat, won- dering where I was going to get money for the doctor and for the things daddy needed if he was to live. “I then remembered a little box I had re- ceived from my friends when I had left them. They had said that my mother had left it with them, for me, whenever I should be in need of money. No sooner did I think of this than I reached my room, where I kept it. Opening it, I found some beautiful jewels. Underneath lay a little note which was written by my mother. In it she told me much of her past life, which was care- free, happy and gav. She was very wealthy, and, upon her marriage with my father, a poor man, had incurred the wrath of her parents. Her favorite jewels and a couple of pretty dresses she kept, leaving every- thing else. Among her collection of jewels, was a hand-engraved gold ring, set with a brilliant opal. I sold that, and received a small sum for it. but it was enough to pay the physician, with some left for other things. For a month or more, he gained, but later, I found him, one morning staring at the wall, glassily. Hearing mv step he turned, and the torrent of words he uttered left me speechless! The doctor arrived, and in a voice full of pity said, “‘I can do nothing for him now. He will have to be put away.’ When he had gone, I was surprised to hear a voice from my father’s room calling me. I hastened up- stairs afraid, yet happy, that he had remem- bered my name. I found him sitting on the bed, almost dressed for the street. “‘I am going out for a walk,’ lie said, ‘will you come with me?’ I nodded, dumb- ly. I could not speak. How changed he was from the ferocious man of an hour or so ago! “While walking on the street we passed a lovely, rich-looking house. A lady de- scended the stairs, clad in silks and velvets. On her left hand was a glowing opal ring— my mother’s! It flashed as she swung her arm. Suddenly my father halted and stared fascinated, at the woman. Ilis face became ashen, and I feared he would fall, so I grasped his arm tightly. ‘“It’s her ring,’ he said, quietly. “‘Whose?’ I asked, softly in his ear, at the same time trying to pull him gently away so’s not to attract needless attention. ‘“It is your mother’s ring!’ “What should I say? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 “ ‘No, father I answered, thinking lie would drop the subject. I did not want him to know that I had sold it, anyway. “‘It isn't?’ “‘No. come home with me now “W hen we arrived home we sat talking for a while, but every now and then he would say, it is her ring.’ “The next day the doctor came again. ‘You will have to get the ring he speaks of if you want to save him!’ was his advice. “The following evening father begged to see the ring. 1 told him I didn’t have it. whereupon lie grew angry and said I was telling him a falsehood. 1 quieted him by promising to get the ring for him. Now, I could have asked the woman if she would lend it to me. but I was afraid she would think 1, too, was insane. I never liked her anyway, as she always looked so condescendingly upon everyone. Of course, my personal dislikes would not, alone, have stood in the way of my father’s happiness. “Yesterday afternoon, while on an errand, I heard some young girl talking about the reception Madame Dclane was giving to night. Then their conversation turned to Madame’s jewels, as it always did. when anyone talked about her. I listened, why, I do not know, and learned that the opal in her new ring was loose and that she was going to have it repaired, so she was not wearing it. I don't know why I decided as I did, but at that moment. I made up mv mind to go to the ball, and borrow, not steal, the ring, somehow, so that my father might live, and— and—I have failed! My poor, dear father!” and. her narrative ended, the girl cried and cried as if her heart would break. The man beside her let her cry. At last he gave one long sigh, got up abruotly and handed her the ring, saying, slowly. “Here, take the ring. I will make it all rght with my mother.” The girl started, and said, sternly. “Your mother!” “Yes, my mother. I am her son for whom she is having this reception to night. Take the ring, my dear, and I will arrange mat- ters with Madame. I will get your wraps and you can go.” lie did not add, “if you will return the ring.” as she expected. Through countless vacant corridors and doors he led her. As they reached the out- side door, he said, Take care of yourself. I will come and see your father tomorrow. Good night Out into the cold, crisp air she ran; on and on. ’till she reached her home. Run- ning up the stairs to her father’s room, where a plaintive voice kept calling for ‘the ring,’ she threw herself by his bed and placed the gem in his trembling hands. So happy was he that he did not perceive her radiant apparel. “Shirley,” he said, “you may have it now. Your mother had it l efore you; you may have it now,” and he thrust it into her hand. The next morning, when she entered his room, she saw him lying quietly, a smile on his lips. That he had had no hard fought struggle with the Angel of Death was ap- parent by his smiling and peaceful counten- ance. That afternoon two visitors were admitted by Shirley. She was pale and her eyes were red with weeping. As she looked from one visitor to the other, she knew that she had a trying ordeal to go through. It so happened that it was no ordeal. Madame, who had heard the story of the girl from her son. whom «he trusted in all things, was very kind. Shirley wept, as Madame Delane gathered her in her arms, kissed her, and called her a brave child. Years afterward, as Shirley looks at the gorgeous ring, given to her by her mother- in-law. she sighs because of the sad, sad story connected with the beautiful and sparkling jewel. THE ICE TRAP Reginald Simpson, ’21 It was a cold day for fishing. Jim Brad- lay paused to glance at tlie thermometer, as he went out to the woodshed where he kept his outfit. The mercury stood at four de- grees below zero; it had dropped a degree since breakfast. “Phew!” he whistled. “Sure will be some job to keep the holes open today.” Jim had a contract with Smith and Wil- son. fish dealers in a city fifty miles away, to supply them with pickerel each week, lie received ten cents a pound for all he could catch, and shipped the frozen fish on Mondays and Thursdays. As his shipments went as high as one hundred or more pounds, the money he received went a long SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS IN ‘ PROFESSOR PEPP.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 way to help his mother and himself com- bat the high cost of living. Shortly after leaving the cottage, Jim reached the shore of the lake where he put on his skates. lie loaded his outfit on his sled and started at a brisk pace to his favor- ite grounds. Ilis first move, after reaching his fishing grounds, was to build a fire on one of the small islands. Then with his axe, he set to work chopping holes for his lines. After his lines were set, there was hardly a minute when some one of the red flags on his traps was not waving. The fish were not large, averaging about a pound each. “Wish I could nail an old slammer, a reg- ular old he fish,” he said. “1 know there’s muskies in this lake that will go over fifty pounds. Perhaps Til get one sometime.” Just then a red flag flashed up, two hun- dred yards down the ice, and Jim’s skates rang on the ice as he dashed for the spot. The ice happened to be clear and Jim could see the pickerel fighting to get away. As he was pulling in, a long, vague shape slipped into sight and the pickerel dis- appeared. “Holy smoke!” gasped Jim. “That was one of those muskellunge, and he just walked off with my pickerel without saying thank you. What do you know about that?” “I’ve got it.” he exclaimed aloud. “I’ll chop this hole larger, and go after that lad- die with my big line and a pickerel for bait.” Five minute later the rig was all set, and ready for business. Fshing was good the rest of the morning, and Jim was thinking of hauling in his lines and going home, when he looked in the di- rection of his big line, and there was the flag waving back and forth. “Zowic!” he exclaimed, and with great excitement dashed for the line. The line was slowly moving down into the water as Jim cautiously skated up to the hole. Tie bent over and took it, care- fully feeling the fish as the cord played out. waiting the instant to strike. That instant in his judgment had arrived. His hand gave a sharp jerk on the line to sink the heavy hook into the hard bony jaw of the muskcl- lunge. Jim never knew exactly what happened then. In some way a loose coil of the line had secured a half hitch about his wrist, and when the muskellunge felt the hook, he made a dash to get away, and Jim’s arm went into the fist hole. As he fell, his head struck the axe and he was unconcious. When he came to, he tried to rise, but he couldn’t move. His left-arm was numb from the shoulder down. It was frozen solid in the ice. “Gee, but this a nice mess,” Jim said to himself. “How can I get out of this?” He looked about him and saw the axe six or seven feet away, where it had slid when Jim fell. He twisted around and tried to reach it, with no satisfaction. The afternoon was going fast, and within an hour it would be dark. “I’ve got to get myself out of here!” he muttered. “My chances aren’t worth a plugged penny if I wait for someone to come along.” “If T could only get my fingers on that axe,” he said hopelessly. “I’ve got to some- how.” He looked at the rest of the line under him. “I’ve got it,” he cried. “I will freeze the line and make a loop, and then T can get the axe.” No water near, he took a ticket-book from his pocket and lit it. As the ice melted, he soaked the line which quickly froze. This done, he easily slipped the loop over the axe handle and drew it to him. It was hard work to cut the ice around his frozen arm: but finally it was finished and he broke from the ice trap which would have caused his death. He built a fire, and after an hour, he was warm enough to skate home. A neighbor nearby went to the lake for Jim, and brought home a forty-eight pound muskellunge which sold for quite a bit of money.

President: Gladys Johnston, Vice-Presi- dent : George Coyne, Treasurer, and Kath- aryn Buck, Secretary. John Dunbar and Donald Miller were re-elected respectively Editor and Assistant. In football. 1921 was well represented by Warren Gilkey, “Nick” Chase, “Pat’ Lynch and “Beany” Simpson. All four will be with the team next year and under the leadership of Captain Warren,” Somer- ville High School should be able to boast of another championship team. In hockey the Juniors were represented by Garrod, Simpson, Powell and Smith. In track the stars of the Junior Class were Nolan and Newton. Thanks to No- lan, the Juniors were able to score in the Interclass meet. In baseball the Juniors are not so promi- nent as in the other sports this year, but before the season is over, no doubt several of our class will be molded into shape for next year’s team. If plans for a tennis team materialize, many Juniors will be on the squad. In the coming debates between Brookline and Newton 1921 will be represented by Irving Edlestein. Theodore Corliss, and Sherman Maxwell. We wish them success. The girls’ team although not defeating both opponents this year was of sterling quality. Miss Rood was T()2i‘s representa- tive. In the orchestra, the Juniors are well rep- resented. The string quartette whose de- lightful music we all remember is composed mostly of Juniors. At the first class meeting it was decided that the dues should remain at ten cents. The officers arc glad to note that nearly everyone has paid. It was suggested that the class stage a play which was to be followed by a dance. This seemed to meet with the approval of the entire class. A committee of five were to be elected, but as there were no more than five nomin- ated they became members of that com- mittee. They were, Doris llall, Laura Cruwys. Portis Hart, Clarke Settles and Allan Daggett. Later Fred Fletcher was appointed to assist George Coyne in the selling of the tickets. Miss Harriet M. Bell, recently appointed to the High School offered her services as coach. “Professor Pepp,” a farcical comedy by Walter Ben Hare was chosen as the play to be presented. Gladys Johnston was ap- pointed stage manager. After a competition lasting three days, the principles, sixteen in number were cho- sen by Miss Bell. A short class meeting was held a few days before the night of the play for the pur- pose of increasing the sale of tickets. The co-operation of everyone was asked. It was surely given, for the High School Hall was crowded. The evening was more of a success than any of us had hoped for. In the estimation of many of the audience Professor Pepp” surpassed “Princess Bon- nie.” which was the last play to be staged in the Somerville High School. It is indeed gratifying to know that 1921 has done “something different.” We are deeply indebted to Miss Bell for her services and cannot adequately thank her. The class extend thanks to the orchestra who showed the true S. II.

The question is often asked, “Does it pay to continue your studies?” There are a great many people in the world who regard an education as worth nothing except what may be expressed in dollars and cents. Ed- ucation is absolutely necessary for the best and surest success in business, for it enables its possessor to be worth more and to be more efficient than one could possibly be without it. But it has a higher, nobler value still. Boys and girls who go to work before or at the end of grammar school rarely get good positions. The work they find to do is usually unskilled. It offers little train- ing or chance for advancement. When they are older they find they are still untrained for skilled work that offers a future. It is true that many boys and girls when they leave school find work that offers a high wage for a beginner. But these wages sel- dom grow because the work requires no training. A position with a future and with a steadily increasing wage requires a school and college training. However, great fortunes have been made and fame attained by men who had no op- portunity for school education in their youth, but who have been furnished with information, which enables them to win success, by persistent effort and study. Aside from the money point of view, ed- ucation enables one to see more of the world to enjoy more of the world and to be more in the world. In striving for an education one should not forget that side of it. A president of a university once said, “the little money that we make here and the success that we may achieve in this life amount to but very little when we come to the day of our death; but the right kind of an education, that of mind, heart, spirit, will bring one to the last of life with hope, and confidence that the higher powers that he has developed here, will be with him throughout all the ages of eternity.” Remember that never was there greater opportunity for young men and women to find good schools and universities, but they must avoid wastefulness of time, be indus- trious. persistent and thorough, and acquire the habit of sticking to a duty or task, if they wish to attain the best. It was never truer than now. There is “plenty of room at the top.” The Radiator staff has greatly missed its editor-in-chief who has been confined to his home with influenza. We hope for a speedy recovery and will welcome him when he again takes up his school work. On March n the Somerville High School was highly honored by the presence of Sar- geant Farnum, the only American woman who fought at the front with the allied armies. She made an earnest appeal for the down-trodden Serbians. She related many of her experiences. At the close of the address the school was so deeply impressed, that some of the rooms directly took up collections for the “Serbian Relief Fund and met with a willing re- sponse. At the last meeting of the school committee it was decided that boxes would be placed in each room for contributions. Schoolmates, stop and think what Ser- geant Farnum is doing and has done, given up her life, had it been necessary. Can’t you deny yourself a little candy now and then, and drop that nicklc or dime into that box for the Serbians?

It shows not only the horrors but also the many amusing details a soldier encounters in war. The ex- periences which the men go through while training for this special corps, in themselves, would make a very entertaining story, but this book goes on and we move right up to the front line trenches with the tanks. Democrary in Reconstruction. By Cleveland Schaffer This is a very fine book and especially good reading for this particular time when everything throughout the world is in the process of reconstruction. It was edited by Frederick A. Cleveland, who was formerly chairman of President Taft’s commission on economy and efficiency, and Joseph Schaffer who was vice chairman of the National Board of Historical Service. They first pre- sent to us the historical back-ground of re- construction in America, then the ideals of democracy, and last, but far from least, the after-war problems. The Marvels of War Inventions By T. W. Corbin This book contains descriptions of weap- ons of war, how they were invented and to what use they are put. In the olden times warfare was supported by a single trade, that of the armourer, but now—well it cer- tainly takes more than an amourer to make mines, submarines, military bridges, aero- planes and a thousand and one other things which were used in the world war and are told about in this book. (Continued on page 14.) A VENERABLE FOUNTAIN PEN Wallace Powell ’21 My father has in his possession a fountain pen, which has an interesting history. It was bought by my grandmother in 18S7, thirty-three years ago. from the original Mr. L. E. Waterman, the inventor of the pen, when he was first established in a small and shabby workshop at 171 Broadway, New York. My father was entering school at that time so the pen was given to him. Since then he has carried it with him con- stantly, and it has been the principal in quite a remarkable incident. After being graduated from Leland Stan- ford University. California, father decided to take a hunting trip, with two friends, through southern California and into Mex- ico. They bought a wagon and two mules to convey their tent and ammunition, but planned to get most oftheir food by hunting. As usual my father carried the fountain pen in his pocket. They had traveled leisurely for two months or so and found themselves in more or less a desert. One night as they stopped to make camp, my father removed his coat and threw it among the rocks. The pen slipped from his peoket falling to the ground. No one noticed it, so the next morning when they broke camp, it was left behind. It was not until some days later that the loss of the pen was discovered. Thinking back, my father came to the conclusion that the pen must have been bv the racks where he had thrown his coat on that evening several days before. Although he valued it highly he could not then turn back, but was obliged to continue his trip, which lasted for a year and a half. All during the rest of the trip thoughts of the pen frequently came to his mind. His great curiosity to learn whether or not he had surmised correctly as to when he had lost it prompted him on his return a year later, to go forty miles out of his way to revisit the camp site. Sure enough, he found the pen just as it had fallen among the stones. The ink had been dried out of it by the hot suns, but other than that, it was unharmed. From time to time now, when it is taken into the Waterman store in Boston to have the cap tightened or to have some trivial thing done to it, it is put on exhibition in the window. Mv father has often been offered the best fountain pen in their store in exchange for it. but the offer holds no attraction for him. It is the oldest Water- man pen in use of which the Waterman Company has any knowledge. 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The “Radiator” acknowledges the follow- ing Exchanges: “The Grotonian,” Groton, Mass.—Thank you for the suggestion in your February number.

Organized cheering should be instituted this year. It has been noticeably lacking for the past few years. All students arc re- quested to be in one section of the stand. The baseball team although lacking the services of “Steve Patten” has the greatest opportunity of any team in the league to win the championship honors because of the fact that our opponents have lost prac- tically all their experienced players while Somerville welcomes back nine veterans from previous years. Steady, player, the school is with you Ready, school, the players arc for you, Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! Your team to victory. TRACK The newly organized track team has just completed its first indoor track season with a much better showing than was expected. Although our track team didn’t take cham- pionship honors it accomplished much toward training material for another year and the coach feels that a strong team can be organized another season. Considering the difficulties under which the team had to practice this winter, it is a wonder that even so much has been done. Sandstrom was the highest point (winner) scorer for the season, exhibiting a most re- markable performance at Boston College High where he placed high in the running high jump. “Freddie” Littlefield, a wonder in the 20- vard dash, exhibited regular in the high jump and broad jump. Pupils! Consider the prospects, of next year’s track team and don’t scorn at the results of this past season’s tracksters for they have paved the road to a most success- ful team next season. TENNIS The chance for a first class tennis team this spring looks very promising, as there is a large number who have signified their in- tention of going out for such a team. A petition has already been sent to the athletic ass’n upon which action is expected in the near future that will make it a recog- nized sport. All those aspiring for a place on the team will automatically become members of the tennis club from which the managers and men of the team will be chosen. Boys! You who can play tennis, come out and support your school in this sport. PLANS FOR ADMISSION TO HOME GAMES For some years there has been much dis- cussion concerning the price of admission of pupils to athletic games. Some have favored a plan whereby pupils arc admitted free, but then the question arose as to whether the public alone would come to support the Athletic Association. At last the committee has guaranteed a proposition whereby pupils are able to secure tickets at the school before all games, at a greatly re- duced price. Pupils! in a school sixteen hundred in number, at least eight hundred or half the school should be present at every game.

BASEBALL The prospects for a championship base- ball team arc very encouraging, since we have most of last year’s men back to help us in securing championship honors. This year Somerville’s mainstay. Captain Dowd, deserves worthy mention for his val- uable services rendered to the baseball team last year and this season we welcome him back to lead the Red and Blue to victory. Our thrifty short-stop, Myles Toulouse is ready to save Somerville from losing a sin- gle game this year, and may it rest assured with all that very few “hot liners” will pass through him. Donaldson and Olson are in excellent trim and with the valuable serv- ices of “Rollo” Barker, “Lefy” Wickerson. “Ren” Currier and “Chick” Harding as our pitching staff, our team should be able to defeat any high school team in the league. The outfielders as yet have not been se- lected owing to the large squad which came out to fight for positions in the outfield.. In order to keep a well-developed team at hand the coach is planning to organize a second team for men who arc not capable oi securing a position on the regular team. The second team will play regular sched- uled games and will be given at the end of the season “letters” signifying that they had the spirit but not the science to obtain a regular “S.” Requies-cat.

Daggett COMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, during the past few years, has not been active in that interesting field of education, drama- tics; partly on account of circumstances arising from the War, and partly because of the death of our competent dramatic coach. Miss Raymond. The need of a renewal of activity in dramatics was felt this year, and has been met by the production of several plays. The Junior Class was the first to make an attempt in this direction At a meeting of the class, it was decided to present a play in the High School hall. A committee for this purpose was elected and a play (“Professor Pepp”) was chosen. Miss Bell, our new elocution teacher, kindly offered her assist- ance as coach. “Professor Pep])” was given on the evening of April ninth before a large and appreciative audience. Mrs. Topi iff’s club of Senior girls pre- sented a scene from Howell’s farce, “T he Mouse T rap,” on the afternoon of April fourteenth, which was excellently staged and acted. These two dramatic efforts have given not only pleasure and pride to all who took part in them, but also a valuable training, which could in no other way be obtained. It is hoped that other classes, clubs, and groups of students in our school will make similar efforts in the near future. Miss Bell is thinking of staging an opera next year, in conjunction with Mr. McVey, our music teacher. Such a project would in- deed be a stride towards greater achieve- ments not only in dramatic, but also in vocal training. Let us all adopt this motto, which applies not only to dramatics, but to all our high school endeavors: “Act well your part; all the honor lies.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR VOL.

ROGERS President ALICE McGRATH Vice-President SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 LIBRARIANSHIP AS A VOCATION By George Hill Evans Librarian, Somerville Public Library GEORGE H. EVANS Properly to understand the nature of li- brary work it is necessary to inquire into its purpose. The Public Library is first and foremost a public service institution Its field of operation may be roughly divided under four heads. First, it is a storehouse of books and knowledge. Through its su- perior resources and its facilities for stor- age and care, it is able to procure and main- tain a great reservoir of information in the form of books, periodicals, music and pic- tures. Secondly, the library is a laboratory or work shop for study and research. It provides rooms and equipment for the stu- dent and inquirer, and a staff especially trained to make available its resources on demand. Again, it is a center for sane rec- reation where entertainment may be se- cured at minimum cost and leisure spent under wholesome conditions. Last but not least, it is coming to be more and more a social center and an agency for community service of great variety and value. It may therefore be seen that library work is essentially educational. Moreover the li- brary is the most democratic of all institu- tions. It is maintained at public expense, and is open daily with equal service to all. It is therefore not surprising that the library is frequently called ‘‘The People's Univer- sity.” Its function is to make available the tools and materials of education in printed form. It works with the school through the years of chidhood and youth, but it does not stop with maturity. It provides a continua- tion school, or reservoir of knowledge, for all the years of one’s life. In a word the library places at the disposal of every one the accumulated power of brains and intelli- gence for the continuing development and use of other brains and intelligence. T he function of the librarian is to admin- ister this storehouse and laboratory of knowledge. She must have the intelligence to comprehend the varied needs of the peo- ple who come with questions, the respon- siveness to make their problems her own, and the mental equipment for prompt use of all the sources at her command. To suc- ceed in this task she must have education, familiarity with the methods which have been found to be on the whole most pro- ductive of efficiency, and a loyal devotion to the ideal of public service. And happy is she who to these adds the heaven-born gift of an attractive personality. One of the first questions about a prospec- tive occupation is: “What do I get out of it?” There are only two returns from the occupations of life- One is the financial re- turn. or what we call a living. The other is the rewards coming from the fitness of the individual for her chosen work, her oppor- tunity for self-expression, and her invest- ment of self in service. These rewards we call happiness. Some one has well said that “Labor receives wages, mind receives re- wards.” It would be useless to deny that the wages of library work are poor. No one goes into it for pecuniary returns. On the other hand its rewards are both rich and satisfying to one who looks to her life work for returns outside the pay envelope. As distinguished from its wages, what are some of the rewards of library work? Just what you put into it.—plus growth. Growth is the interest that life pays on the invest- ment of self in service. The mental attitude toward one’s work determines what this shall be. The opportunities in library work are abundant. There is the privilege of working in the atmosphere of culture and mental stimulus. Daily contact with that vehicle of education, the printed page, which bears the recorded thought of the best minds of all tongues and ages, association with educated people and with inquiring minds, and particularly the attempt to provide their 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR wants, have for the librarian an enormous educational value. Her whole career should be a steady growth. Every good citizen must make contribu- tion toward the progress of society. The average person must do this through the agency of others, or in occasional fractions of his time. It is the librarian’s daily work. Her first-hand contact with actual problems and her realization of the immediate need add ripeness to the satisfaction of service rendered. One of the highest forms of happiness is self-expression. It is the response to the creative instinct implanted in us by nature- To bring into the world some new thing, be it ever so slight, gives a peculiar satisfac- tion. Most of the employed classes are en- gaged in putting into effect a program laid out for them in which they originate noth- ing, but only execute. Their work is there- fore largely mechanical, or at best of a routine nature, tending to restrict develop- ment. The librarian is an exception. Her daily work is replete with problems to solve, each one different from every other, each with its own challenge to ingenuity and resource- fulness. She may, and indeed must, learn certain principles and methods, but each problem of knowledge and each problem of human nature is an original one to which ac- cumulated experience and wisdom must sup- ply the solution. Such demands upon one’s resources and such exercise of the reasoning faculty tends always toward growth. The living memory of that well-beloved librarian of Somerville, Sam Walter Foss, who pre-eminently exemplified the ideals of service that librarians profess, is a striking demonstration that one of the rewards of such service may be the warm esteem of those to whose needs the librarian ministers. Such a reward is a legitimate aspiration for all. Training for library work is secured in two ways, either in a course in a professional school, like Simmons College, or in a library training class. The first is certainly to be preferred. A very large majority of those who achieve distinction come from the pro- fessionally trained ranks. This tendency is becoming increasingly evident as the genera- tion of librarians whose training antedated the founding of library schools passes off the stage. The time and expense of such a course is a good investment. But it is quite possible, as many cases prove, for a graduate of a high school to enter the ranks through a library training class, and by studious and intelligent application to her profession rise to a position of responsibility and influence. Like teaching, or dentistry, or engineering, or any other specialized occupation library work requires special training. The ama- teur or half trained librarian will always be at the same disadvantage in the competition of actual professional work as will the im- perfectly fitted man or woman in any other calling. There must be an educational foundation upon which to build the special training. Library work deals with every kind of hu- man endeavor, but there arc certain subjects with which a working familiarity has an outstanding value. First of all, perhaps, is the literature of the English speaking peo- ples, classical literature, and that of modern European nations- Then comes history in the same order, including current events of the world. The social sciences crowd these subjects closely, and alongside them are the natural sciences, technical and industrial subjects, the arts, and so on. All these are literally in constant use. Since the library in its training class can deal only with the technical methods of its work, some knowl- edge of these fundamental subjects must be a prior condition of entrance to the class. Familiarity with good books in the home from early years gives the student of library work an inestimable advantage. Those who have not been so fortunate find it al- most impossible to make good the disparity. The ready command of facts and the range of resources that this familiarity gives to the work of every day is invaluable. Neverthe- less. the librarian looking for recruits is likely to be skeptical until he is “shown” when an applicant bases her plea for ap- pointment. as she so often does upon the statement that she “loves books.” Does it mean only that she likes to read Harold Bed Wright, ane Grey. Ethell M. Dell and hc rest of the best sellers? Or does she read and have some knowledge of literature? If the former is the case the qualification she pleads is of no value. If the latter be true it is of the utmost value. She will use her unconsciously accumulated knowledge every day and many times a day. Your public library seeks intelligent girls of ready and agreeable address who possess familiarity with books, a willing spirit of service, good health, and a habit of industry. For such it offers the requisite training to launch them upon a life work of peculiar satisfactions. Opportunities for advance- ment are plentiful. Experience indicates that the training of this library ranks high in the estimation of the profession, and many have gone from here to positions of (Continued on Page 13) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 A “RED CROSS” MAID Elizabeth R. Lowe, '21 Phyllis Byrd sat in front of a quaint horse- hair trunk, utterly absorbed in the contents of a yellowed diary. No sound disturbed the quiet of the old garret, except the monoto- nous beating of the rain against the fan- shaped window, or the occasional rustle of a page as the girl turned it with keen interest. Several days before, the dream of a life- time had been realizd. when Phyllis for the first time viewed the Virginia home of her ancestors from the long driveway overshad- owed by large trees, which led up to it. Joy- fully she had run up the steps of the large colonial house, and into the arms of her only remaining aunt, a dignified spinster who had welcomed her with that warm southern cor- diality characteristic of a regime that is fast becoming only a memory. And now, after part of her vacation was over, days that had been filled to the brim with one pleasure after another, there had come a lull occasioned by an unexpected shower, and Phyllis, weary- ing of her book, had received permission from her aunt to wander through the attic, which she knew contained numerous old relics of historic and sentimental interest. Finally, an old trunk tuck d away in the corner, attracted Phyllis' eye, and with a sigh of anticipation she dragged it out and under a window. The trunk opened easily, and disclosed to her eyes the usual motley jumble of family treas- ures which have little other than personal value: babies' slippers, faded flowers, pieces of brocaded silks, shoe buckles, old letters, laces, fans, and other articles, too many to enumerate. Down in one corner, almost hid- den from sight, was a tiny book. This Phyllis took out with a moderate amount of interest, but one glance at the cover, and she immediately settled down with eagerness. The title which had caused the sudden change, “Diantha Carey—Her Diary—1778” held many possibilities. The diary began abruptly with an account of the departure of Diantha's twin brother, Spencer, to join Marion the “swamp-fox. (The girl's heart had been sad, and rather than increase her widowed mother’s sorrow, she had started the diary as her confidant.) For several pages there was nothing of par- ticular interest, and then were recorded scraps of a letter, received, by messenger, from her brother. At this point there was a slight break in the continuity of the story, while Diantha had written a rather full de- scription of the young soldier messenger who was on his way to Philadelphia with a large sum of money for Washington. The diary then continued, with quotations from her brother's letter, which included a description of the hardships of the soldiers, and their many needs, closing with a wish for some of the warm hose knit from the wool of their own sheep. Apparently Diantha had put her wits to work, for the diary recorded, several days later, the gathering at her house of a group of girls, from neighboring plantations, who began knitting on the already spun hanks of wool. Day after day they worked, and for some time only an occasional hastily written line appeared in the diary; and when the young messenger came back, there were several dozen pairs of socks ready. But these socks did not reach their destination until several weeks later, because when Jef- ferson Byrd came back, it was with a high fever and badly inflamed foot, the results of a gun shot wound received in a skirmish near Philadelphia. Four weeks elapsed, and when the messenger finally left, he carried with him a promise and a gold-backed ivory mini- ature. From this point on for some time, the en- tries were unimportant. The girls appeared to have worked st.adily, spinning, knitting, and scraping lint. Then came an entry of startling interest, noted by a red cross drawn irregularly across the top of the page; and Diantha had told in hardly discernible writ- ing her wonderful tale. While in a battle her messenger had been shot, and the bullet striking squarely in the middle of her miniature, which he had always carried, broke the glass which split on four sides, making an irregular cross, and the im- pact of the bullet on the gold so lessened its force that only a deep flesh wound had re- sulted. which, however had caused profuse bleeding, the blood soaking slightly into the edges of the cracked glass, forming a roughly shaped red cross from top to bottom, and side to side of the miniature. The pictured face of his sweetheart had saved Jefferson Byrd’s life. Here the diary ended as abruptly as it had begun. With a long sigh, Phyllis came back from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. She heard once more the pattering of the rain and (Continued on Page 13) 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A TEMPEST Florence Hanna OOD-BYK!” I waved my hand to the group of people gathered in front of our cottage for the combined purpose of picking blueberries and studying nature- It was inconceivable to me that any one would care to tramp along dusty roads and through woods, where creeping animals and insects lurk, on such a day! I raised myself once more from the hammock, and limply waved my hand again in response to their farewells, until a bend in the road concealed them from my view. I lay in the hammock awhile idly swing- ing to and fro, alone with my thoughts, when suddenly an indescribable feeling of fear possessed me. The silence was appall- ing! Then out of the silence came a low, familiar whistle. 1 arose gracefully from the hammock, and saw to my great delight Pete, the old fisherman with whom 1 had many times gone fishing. He made a very quaint picture as he stood beckoning to me. His feet were encased in rubber boots which were entirely in keeping with the rest of his costume. A cool wind was then blowing ovei the bay, and the rubber coat lie wore was slashing against his limbs, which curiously enough gave him the appearance of an article of washing on the clothes-line, while the brim of the old sou wester which covered his head, blown back from his kindly weather-beaten face, gave him the appearance of George Wash- ington. I snatched the frail, georgette hat which matched the delicate hue of my summer frock, and in a few seconds was on the beach beside him. He liked to take me with him he said because I didn't cut any “monkey- shines” as most girls did when they went fishing. I stepped lightly into the old row- boat which truly looked as if it had weath- ered severe storms, for its color was of a washed out tint and its sides were badly scarred: then Pete took the oars and we were off. Linckin Bay is a beautiful stretch of water; it is as a rule very calm and placid while its waters arc of the deepest azure. When we were about two miles out Pete baited his hook and became too deeply ab- sorbed in the mysteries of fishings, as I later found out. For awhile I was content to watch the various expressions on Pete's face as he drew in the fish, but before long that grew wearisome and 1 found myself wishing any- thing would happen to relieve the monotony of the scene. Something did ! A pert, little breeze raised my dainty, pink hat of which I was so proud, as lightly as if it were a feather, and carried it some feet away where it floated serenely on the bosom of the bay. My first impulse was to awaken Pete to my calamity but alas, I saw plainly he was too deeply engaged in the art of fishing to hear me. I raged inwardly, while outward- ly I watched the blue expanse widen be- tween that adorable pink hat. which was so becoming to me. I know not how long I had been looking at the spot where my treasure had disappeared, but suddenly a strange apprehension flashed over me- In- stinctively I looked up and beheld dark, threatening clouds in the sky. The sea was seething. “Pete! Pete!” 1 called, my voice scarcely above a whisper. It was in vain! Then a low rumble of thunder came from out of the distant sky. This brought that ancient mariner to his senses. He quickly hauled in the anchor, and our race for life began. I sat frozen with horror as I watched his brawny arms wield the oars with amazing rapidity. But fate ordained that we should not reach the mainland that night. 'Pile storm broke; the rain came in tor- rents while the lightning flashed. Such a storm had never before been witnessed by me in my whole life. I crouched down in the bottom of the boat, strangely fascinated by the iridescent flashes of lightning. Neither man nor beast could live long in such a sea; the perspiration was rolling down Pete’s face in an endless stream, ana his mouth was set in grim determination. “The island! the island!” I shouted then without warning, for we were within fifty feet of Squirrel Island which was a small and unoccupied stretch of land on the border of the bay. To reach that was our only salvation. We had long since given up all hope when a mighty wave came rushing toward us; then I knew no more. When I regained consciousness T found myself wrapped in a rubber coat and lving before a roaring fire. “Where am I?” I whispered in a weak, little voice, and I saw Pete, then heard him say in his gentle, kindly tones, “Just lie still, missy.” Obedi- ently- enough I turned over and fell asleep- Day dawned, and with it came a search party consisting of my father, brother, and (Continued on Page 9) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 11) 2 2 By Lemuel J. Rogers, President Classmates: We are without doubt the largest and destined to be the greatest class that ever held high the name of the Somerville High School. We are now Sophomores and be- fore long we shall be Juniors. The very fact that this is so makes us realize that one- half of our High School Career is over, ana certainly there could be no better place for a brief review of our achievements than here. In the fall of 1918 many of us entered this school in the last Freshmen Class. Al- though we had no class government, still we played a large part in the affairs of the school. Two of its members, now class of- ficers, were representatives to the Students Council, Harold Quail and Lemuel Rogers. “Win” Pierce, the powerful star linesman, was found on the football squad one month after entering the school. When the base- ball season came around last year “Ren” Currier was found at the slab- The two flags that are now in the Hall of the school were presented by us. Taking everything into consideration we had a fairly large honor roll. In fact wherever one should look he would see a Freshman. We came back to school this last fall as “first years” but later the officers succeeded in having our name changed to “Sophomores.” As the school was new to a large part of the class no elections were held until Decem- ber. when the following were elected: President. Lemuel J. Rogers; Vice-Presi- dent. Alice McGrath; Secretary. Bernice Parker; Treasurer, Harold Quail; Editor. H. A TEMPEST (Continued from Page 8) a few of the neighbors. I absolutely re- fused to be carried to the boat, but instead talked bravely of my experience as though it were a common occurrence. Pete and I devoured the contents of the basket of food which the rescue party had brought with them, and discovered we were none the worse for our experience. In fact the only matter that troubled me even when 1 arrived Paul Bennett; Assistant Editor, Wilbur Stanley. Under the leadership of the above officers, the Class of 1922 has been placed firmly on its feet, and today is a big factor in the affairs of the school, if there is any doubt as to what has been just said, ask yourself this question: what would be left of the school if “1922” were taken out? This year as Sophomores we have been active in all branches of the school. We sent to the football squad “Pierce,” Kelliher and MacPhail. To the hockey squad, Hig- gins, Kelliher, MacPhail, O’Neil, Rogers. To the present baseball squad that looks like a champion contender, Currier, Wickerson, Byrnes, Kelliher and Crandall. Every one of them is making good for the class of 1922 and deserves our backing up by attending the games. Besides the athletic teams, the debating teams had two of our classmates, Robert Shea and Allen Forbes. We are very ac- tive in the Glee Clubs, the orchestra and on the Students’ Council. Many of us were witnesses of the play given by the Junior Class and we indeed can congratulate the actors and actresses of 1921, but wait until they see the play that our class is going to stage next year- We have many possible and coming actors and actresses in our class which will be a great advantage. Let us hope that everything that is under- taken by us is a success. Let us stand by our officers next year whoever they may be for remember, if we are loyal to our school and class, we shall be the future loyal Amer- ican citizens of the coming generation- home again was the loss of my frivolous head-gear. A week later I awoke one morning, and found a hat-box, or so it appeared to me, on the bed. I carefully lifted the cover, and there nestling in soft, pink, tissue paper was the most adorable pink georgette hat I had ever seen. On a plain white card attached to it was this inscription: “To the brave little fisher-maid. “From her old friend. “Pete.” IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR BOB WALTON Arland A- Dirlam ’22 I) OB WALTON, a young fisherman of about twenty years of age, was sitting on the edge of his small white dory, un- tangling his nets. His mind was filled with troubled thoughts as he had always wished to attend a college or some institution where he might better himself and become some- thing more than a mere fisherman. He probably would have done this if his father had been living but only four weeks or so before he had been dashed on the rocks of the rough Massachusetts coast and immedi- ately drowned. Now Bob was the only one left to support his mother and four small brothers and sisters so his chance of going to college seemed to be very slim. Mrs. Walton was a motherly lady and one who took everything to heart. Very often Bob would find her, after she had put the children to bed. sitting sadly by the fire- place and sometimes crying, but when he would ask her the trouble she would bravely smile and answer. “Nothing. Bob.” But Bob saw that something was constantly troubling her. just what lie did not know. He surmised that because his mother wished him to go to college but yet was unable to send him was chiefly the cause of her sor- row so he tried to comfort her by saying that a college education meant nothing to him altho inwardly he felt different. It was about the middle of July now and thunder storms were becoming pretty com- mon occurrences. Fishing this season did not seem to compare at all with last year’s catch. Bob was beginning to feel down- hearted. His father’s insurance money was almost gone and there was no bright out- look of money coming in. Audrey Holmes, the daughter and only child of Robert Holmes, one of Chicago’s most prominent banking men. had succeed- ed in coaxing her father into buying her a yacht and allowing her to cruise along the Atlantic coast. So the middle of July found Audrey and her yacht, the Lady B, slowly sailing along the Massachusetts coast. The day was dark and cold and a very poor day for fishing, so after trying his luck for a while, but without success, Bob slow- Iv rowed his way back home. In the after- noon a dark cloud appeared on the horizon and a strong breeze sprung up- T11 a short time one of the worst storms of the season commenced. It had grown dark quickly so Bob after he had taken in the wash for his mother went down to the shore and dragged the boats far from the water’s edge. All was not well on the Lady B. The mo- tor had been constantly skipping and then suddenly stopped. Under no condition could the engineer make it go. W hen the squall broke out the Lady B was quite at the mercy of the waves, being tossed here and there like a cork- This continued for at least an hour when suddenly a huge rock appeared ahead. The yacht was entirely out of control and the captain was unable to avoid this approaching menace. Crash! This was followed with a great splintering of wood. The Lady B began to sink im- mediately but the captain, who was a man with presence of mind, fired a rocket to in- form all around of the danger of the ship. In a very few seconds all members of the crew and its passenger were floundering around in the open sea. The storm con- tinued with increasing furv while Audrey, who had grasped a piece of wreckage, mur- mured a short prayer to God for help. Bob was looking out the window when he saw a flash of light, a soaring rocket follow- ed by a sharp report. Hastily slipping on his slickers and l oots he ran to his boat, pushed it into the water and was off. It was hard rowing, but finally after strenuous work he arrived in time to see the Lady B go down. Glancing quickly around he no- ticed a limp, white form clinging to part of a floating spar. Dragging the form into the boat he discovered it to be that of a young girl. Taking off his jumper he wrapped it around and placed her comfortably in the bow of the boat- Next he saw three more heads bobbing up and down in the high, rough waves. As the wind was constantly increasing in violence Bob found that it was a pretty big job which he had undertaken. But finally he succeeded in dragging all three, one by one, into the dory. As these were all he could see between the flashes of lightning he rapidly grasped his oars and began to row back to the shore. It seemed to Bob that he would never reach home. He was beginning to feel verv dizzy be- cause of a terrible headache. He could see but a dim outline of the shore and this only when the earth was lighted by sharp flashes (Continued on Page 11) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ii LIBRARY DEPARTMENT This month let us test ourselves and see if we are as familiar with our poets and their poems as we should he. By our poets I mean the ones we have in our library. First I shall present you with a list of poets and then what should be, if you claim to know the poets, familiar quotations taken from their poems. Now here’s where the test comes in. I want each one of you to try and connect the quotations with their proper poet. Eugene Field Oliver Goldsmith John 1 lay John Keats John Milton James Russell Lowell Gabriele Rossetti Sir Walter Scott Alfred Tennyson Robert Burns Henry W. Longfellow Oliver Wendell Holmes Robert Louis Stevenson John Grcenleaf Whittier Percy Byschc Shelley Ralph Waldo Emerson William Wordsworth William Cuilen Bryant Samuel T. Coleridge Henry A. Dobson John Dryden The little toy dog is covered with dust But sturdy and staunch he stands; And the little toy soldier is red with rust And his musket moulds in his hands. In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. Who overcomes By force, hath overcome but half his foe. The people will come to their own at last.— God is not mocked forever. And what is so rare as a day in June? Then if ever come perfect days; Then heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lay; A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness. They please, are pleas’d; they give to get esteem, 'Fill seeming blest, they grow to what they seem. For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest of these: “It might have been!” To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language. Water, water everywhere. Nor any drop to drink. Happy the man, and happy lie alone, He who can call today his own ; He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow, do thy worst for I have liv’d todays Now if you discover that you can not pass this test I would advise you to grasp the chance while you have it of making your- self fit to pass it. In the library you will find all of the above mentioned poets, and in most cases you will find their complete works. BOB WALTON (Continued from Page io) of chain lighning. llis only impulse was to row and this he did the best he could, put- ting every ounce of energy into each stroke. Suddenly Bob, who was now in a semicon- scious condition, heard a grinding sound be- neath the boat and then some one cried “Bob!” That was all Bob remembered. When the next day dawned Bob Walton was in bed with a very high fever and a temperature of 103 degrees. The girl whom Bob had rescued proved to be Audrey Holmes. She was still a little weak from last night’s mishap but otherwise all right. One of the men of the crew had gone to a town nearby to get a doctor and at the same time telegraph Mr. Holmes, who was in New York. When the doctor arrived he found that Bob was not in a serious condition and predicted that with proper treatment Bob would be up and around in a week or two. Mr. Holmes arrived late that night and was overjoyed to find Audrey all right, lie overwhelmed Bob with thanks for the serv- ices which he had rendered him That fall Bob entered Fordham college where he began to study medicine. Mr. Holmes not only paid his college expenses but also cared for Mrs. Walton and the children. Several years have passed and Bob Wal- ton is now one of the most prominent doc- tors of Chicago where he lives happily with his mother. A wonderful change has come over Mrs. Walton and no more does Bob find her crying because her highest hopes have all been fulfilled. 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS Since the founding of “The Radiator, more than twenty-five years ago, its watch- word has been “Honor.” The present staff has labored to maintain the standard both of financial honor and of the integrity and genuineness of the material making up its pages. With profound sorrow we acknowledge, for the second time this year, a violation of that honor. The story in the April number of the Radiator bearing the title “The Ice Trap.” and credited to Reginald Simpson, we have learned was not the work of that young man, but was taken bodily from the “Boy’s Mag- azine.” Editorial comment on the character of the offense is perhaps unnecessary. The matter has been given in charge of the Student Coun- cil. who publish the resolution given below: Resolved: If further instances of offering unoriginal matter for the columns of The Radiator occur, summary and drastic measures will be taken against the offender at once. EDWARD BARKER. President, Student Council. The school is very sorry to hear of our Editor-in-Chief’s recent misfortune. The spirit of the Somerville High School is with him in his long illness, and would gladly bring him back to health and strength instantly if it could. Sophomores! For the sake of your class, your school, your parents, and yourself, carry on! In less than a month your high school career will be half over. Don’t fall by the wayside! Don’t let yourself be lured out of school by the tempting call of easy jobs and high wages. The job you have now is not hard, and the wages that you get are far more valuable than any you will ever receive in dollars and cents. Think of it from that standpoint and it may keep some of von in the S. II. S. Are you a quitter? If anybody should call you a quitter on the street, things would happen right away; yet that is what you are if you leave school because you did not make things go this year. Remember. Sophomores, it is foundation that counts. You know what happens to a building with poor underpinning. That is just what will happen sooner or later to you if you leave a job that pays in algebra, English, and typewriting, for one that pays “$15 a week, and small chance for advancement. If you do not become a Junior in June, be a man, or woman, and stick to it. The year after next you will be a Junior and a half. Don’t let a few books get the better of you. If you just squeeze by this year, make up your mind to have a larger margin at the end of next year. Juniors-to-be, you have the numbers and the material. Make them publish an extra honor list for ’22! Do not leave school until the last day. The idea that your standing is high enough to warrant it is not safe. On Wednesday. May 19, the entire school enjoyed a treat in the line of calisthenics. About fifty girls from the Sargent School. Cambridge, came over and gave an exhibition of what physical training really is. At 11.10 the various companies of the school assembled in separate rooms, marched out. and formed a hollow square, in the center of which was the group from the Sargent School. Cnder the command of Mr. Hermann, the girls fell in, and proceeded to give a wonderful exhibition of the school of the squad. They then demonstrated a number of setting-up exercises, which concluded the program. Each of the boys companies then cheered the Sargent girls, and each was in turn answered by a cheer from them. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 During the entire exhibition there was hardly an error or a misstep. Each com- mand was interpreted correctly and obeyed instantly, and the group made each move- ment as one. The demonstration proved the theory that physical training is as much a training of the mind in interpreting the leader’s commands as it is for the body in executing them. Every one enjoyed the exhibition and it is hoped that all were benefited by it. We cordially thank the young ladies for coming to our school, and congratulate them on their splendid appearance.

There has never been a time when the demand for competent li- brarians has been so insistent. Due to ab- normal economic conditions consequent upon the war there are more positions than there are people to fill them.

When finally she could speak she said that the reason the diary end d so suddenly was because there was an unexpected wedding, as Jefferson Byrd was sent north suddenly, and lie wished to take his bride with him. To complete the story she went to a small cabi- net and returned with the identical miniature of the diary, the red cross, now faded to a rusty brown, still showing distinctly. 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR f 1M ION HAUL.

The Red and Blue certainly are fortunate in having Crandall on first, being only a sophomore. Also that batting average is rising daily. Every one should turn out for spring training who desire to try out for the foot- ball team next fall. Captain Warren Gilkey, the feature of next year’s football team, will act as coach during spring training. Capt. Gilkey is considering another championship team. Support him. Juniors and Sopho- mores. Sullivan and Hagan are certainly cover- ing the outfield this year. Dowd and Toulouse are playing the Evers-Macauville-Scott style nowadays. Somerville Loses Opening Game The Red and Blue baseball team went down for its first defeat, in the opening game of the season, on Russel’s Field. Cambridge, by a score of 5-4 in a game that abounded in high-class baseball playing. “Rollo” Barker the crackajack Somerville southpaw held the Latin boys to a single hit for four innings, when in the fifth he weak- ened and was found for four safe bingles. Somerville’s tally came in the third inning. Hagan made a safe hit to centre stealing second on the next ball, lie went lo third as Barker drove a clean hit to left. Brandt the ex-service chief came across with a two- bagger scoring Hagan and Barker. Dowd started things going in the fourth with a two-base hit to left center, going to third on Twigg’s sacrifice, but was out at the plate in attempting to reach home on a hit by Sullivan. Sullivan went to third on the play and scored on Hagan’s drive to center. The Latin boys’ tallies came in the fifth. At this point the Red and Blue boys were in the van three points to the good. It is evident that Cambridge might never have scored had Barker been given good support. Two bad errors gave Cambridge Latin the decision. Captain Dowd and Brandt were responsi- ble for Somerville’s fine showing. Donald- son, Sullivan and Toulouse fielded well. The summary: SOMERVILLE Hagan, c.f. Sullivan, l.f. Toulouse, s.s. Dowd, 2b.

Somer- ville. with Medford as opponents. From the moment “play ball” was declared by the umpire, Somerville started to win and be- fore four innings had passed a total of nine runs had been scored. Captain Dowd ex- hibited some good baseball and the score would not- have been so one-sided had he been out of the lineup. In addition to his excellent fielding as we have chanced to wit- ness in scholastic ranks, he lashed out a home run with three men on bases. Somerville scored three more tallies in the next two innings and then the Medford twirier tightened up and held the Red and CAMB. LATIN 3b., Foley l.f..

Somerville 10; Everett 3 Somerville experienced little difficulty in defeating Everett at Recreation Field. Barker pitched a steady game, and although he hit rather freely, was backed up splendid- ly by the rest of the team. The team seems to be playing together, and this is going to be a big factor in the team’s success this year. The team work is very notice- able, and many of the “fans” are already reckoning the league’s list to be headed by Somerville and Cambridge Latin. Every- body is hitting heavily. In the eighth inning Barker had a bad break and Everett took the opportunity to score. Porter reached first on a safe hit to center. Noonan hit a liner to Kelleher, who fumbled on an attempt to make a double play, both men safe. Barker passed Somerville Too Good for Malden Somerville added another victory to her list when she sent Malden down to defeat at the Malden Athletic Field. Currier pitched in fine form and held the heavy sluggers down to but five hits. The stellar fielding of Somerville was a great factor in annexing this fourth league victory. Tou- louse at shortstop played a slashing game and contributed a double and a single. “Beaney” Simpson covered the first sack in grand style. Donaldson caught at his best, having the honor of saying that not a single man stole bases on him. Malden’s only burst came in the third in- ning when with two outs and two men on bases Toulouse fielding a difficult chance between the lanes allowed one man to reach home, in the meanwhile tagging the man who attempted to steal third on the play. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR IQ Captain George Dowd, as usaul, excelled for his team while several good prays were registered for Toulouse, Simpson and Hagan.

Both teams exhibited spectacular plays which made the game one worth at- tending. The stick work of Somerville was exceptionally good and seven hits were reg- istered in their favor. In fact both pitchers were hit freely, but the fielding of both teams kept the score at low figures. Byrnes was the star at the bat for the day, having placed the ball at the edge of the brook. Hagan started the game with a rush after drawing a pass, stealing second and scoring on Dowd’s Texas Leaguer. Dowd stole second and third and scored on Crandall’s hit to light center. Somerville had an op- portunity to make a big rally in the second when, with the sacks full and no outs, three Somerville men struck out one, two. three. In the seventh Somerville hit the ball hard, but good head-work on the part of Brookline prevented Somerville from scor- ing. Capt. Dowd and Toulouse, as usual, played a stellar fielding game, and their good work won much applause from the bleachers.

Captain George Dowd batted like a big leaguer, getting a single and a triple out of four times at bat. The Red and Blue slug- gers, however, helped themselves freely to the offerings of the Newton twirler. “Beaney” Simpson started things going in the fifth, when he lashed a triple in deep left. Barker received a pass and stole sec- ond. Toulouse made a safe hit to center scoring Simpson, and Barker was out on at- tempting to reach home on the play. Barker pitched a steady game and was given great support. Dowd and Toulouse fielded well. 20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The summary: SOMERVILLE Toulouse, s.s. Hagan, c.f. Sullivan, l.f.

Somerville 4—Rindge Technical 2 Somerville High defeated the Rindge Technical School in an interesting game played at the Somerville Recreation Field, by a score of 4-2. Currier and Harding pitched in excellent form, and held the Rindge batters down to five hits. The stel- lar fielding of Dowd and Toulouse was a great factor in annexing this fifth league victory. Three home runs were the chief factors in the game. Hines was the first man to land on the ball for a home run. Sullivan playing left field took a plunge into the brook in an attempt to reach the ball. Barker took Sullivan’s place at. left, sent the second home run twirling into the brook. Hagan’s one-handed catch in the seventh which looked like a homer formed an im- portant part in winning the game. Dono- van of Rindge made the third home run and also the second tally for the Rindge team.

Somerville, the Red and Blue cinched its hold on first place in the Subur- ban League. Somerville easily had the game in her hands throughout the nine innings. Toulouse certainly hit the pill a terrible wallop when he sent the ball over the left fielder’s head and into the water. Toulouse in addition to his batting fielded like a real professional player. “Rollo” Barker, the dependable southpaw, was steady throughout the game with the exception of the seventh. A sensational catch by Hagan off Cote went a long way toward checking Cambridge’s big rally in the seventh. Rank errors on the part of Cambridge Latin lost the game for them and won for us. Capt. Dowd made a spectacu- lar one-handed catch of a liner, while at the bat he lashed out a double and a single. Donaldson. Somerville’s reliable receiver, played a whale of a game behind the bat. While at the bat he drove a liner to left which scored two runs for his team.

Centuries ago, when our ancestors were wild men in the British Isles and in northern Europe, when their motto was “Might is right.” the universal standard was strength. If the man was weak he lost in the struggle for existence, if he had great strength he be- came a conqueror, a hero. Presently, as the stronger conquered the weaker, men banded together for protection, forming the tribe and clan of later history. In Medieval times warrior knights held honor, courage, loyalty, and chivalry as their standards which broadened and changed with the advance of civilization and at last reached the standard of today. The question of standards must occupy every mind. It cannot be slighted if the nation as founded by the fathers is to en- dure. What are the standards of the true American? First, loyalty. Loyalty, the chief cornerstone of civilization. Loyalty to the nation, to the state, to the commun- ity, to the family and the individual. Loy- alty is a complex thing, it embodies not merely allegiance, faithful service, the giv- ing of our existence if need be; but in a larger sense it is gratitude, abounding ap- preciation of what has been done for us. The generation of today stands at the end of a long procession and each is the bene- ficiary, the direct heir of all that has been accomplished by the activity, the conscien- tious efforts, the self-sacrilicc of the long line of those who passed this way before us. In a little hamlet on the New Hampshire coast stands a beautiful library; the artistic building and its contents are both the gift of one who still lives near by in a modest home inherited from her ancestors. Over the entrance of the library she has placed this inscription: “In memory of”—then follow the names of her parents—“to whose industry and frugality the donor owes her ability to give.” Our broad land is dotted with just such memorials. To these noble characters we owe a large part of the bene- fits we derive from everyday life. Not alone the rock-bound coast where stands Plymouth Rock nor the blood- stained fields where our forefathers fought claim our grateful remembrance, but the countless libraries, the scholarships in col- lege and university, the myriads of bene- factions for alleviating suffering and for liv- ing conditions cause the chord of gratitude to vibrate to a deeper tone in the breast of the loyal American. The second major element of the true American standard is obedience. Not only obedience to the statute laws, not merely keeping out of the criminal class. In a gov- ernment bv the people law is the expressed will of the majority of the people. The voice of the people is a sacred thing never to be trampled in the dust. Obedience to law includes obedience to the individual Conscience, to our personal conceptions of highest duty. We expect our president, our governors, and our judges to be conscientious; the humblest citizen equally should be so. Nowhere is this duty more to be emphasized than in the solemn duty and privilege of the American voter. The voting booth has been called the temple of American institutions. Each is a priest to watch the sacred fires evermore burning on its altars. He who ministers at this altar with hands stained with corrup- tion promotes the downfall of his nation and falsifies his privilege. “The Crowning fact The kingliest act Of Freedom is the Freeman’s vote.” T11 the immediate future this will be a universal duty whether we stand today with the ranks of the suffragists or in the “anti- class.” The true American will know no such division. From the discussion of obedience to the subject of service as the next element in our standard of the true American is but a step. Service, the slogan of the last four years, is still in the foreground and of a severer tvpe. In one of the parables of Holy Writ the curtain rises on a dramatic picture. In SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i5 a darkened interior the figure of a woman appears with lighted candle and broom searching diligently for the lost piece of silver—what wonders of discovery may have attended that first house cleaning, of treasure long lost and of rubbish to be cast away. Today there is need of the candle and broom to seek out the lost elements of Brotherly Love in the American Standard. Candle and broom detect and cast out the falsified income return; candle and broom to detect and cast out the profiteer, that the life and health of the American of the fu- ture may not be jeopardized by profiteering in the necessities of life—and that brotherly love may return to the heart of the true American. The standard which we have raised for the True American is no new thing, it is as old as is the history of the nation. When the passage of the Stamp Act in 1765 aroused the colonies, Christopher Gad- sen. of South Carolina, cried with prescient enthusiasm: “We stand on the broad com- mon ground of those natural rights that we all feel and know as men. There ought to be no New England man. no New Yorker, no Carolinian known on this continent, but all of us Americans.1” One hundred years later, at the close of the Civil War. a grand mass meeting was field to raise again over Fort Sumpter the Stars and Stripes. One of America’s great pulpit orators, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher of New York, gave the address. With prophetic vision Mr. Beecher uttered words that might have been written for our own day and time, when he said, “We raise our fathers’ banner, that it may bring better blessings than those of old; that it may cast out the demon of discord; that it may re- store lawful government, purer and more enduring than that which it protected be- fore; that it may inspire hope and inaugu- rate universal liberty; that it may say to the sword. ‘Return to thy sheath’ and the plow and sickle, ‘Go forth’; that it may heal all jealousies, unite all policies, inspire a new national life, purify our principles, ennoble our national ambitions, and make this people great and strong for the peace of the world, giving to us the glorious perogative of leading nations to justcr laws, to more human policies; to sincerer friendship, to rational instituted civil liberty, and to uni- versal Christian brotherhood.” Classmates, in the onward rush of the closing events of our High School course, we pause a little for the exercises of our Class Day and to plant for remembrance our Class Ivy—then we must go forth to take our places and to bear our part in the great stirring world as Americans. Are we ready for its responsibilities and its oppor- tunities? Our High School course has been one grand emphatic lesson in the prin- ciples of the true American standard. Loy- alty, Obedience. Service, and Brotherly Love—under this banner let us go forth with courage and high purpose, knowing that however the winds may blow and the waves beat, success is assured if we take as a slogan the words of that great American General Wood, when he said, “Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on God, Americans.” NEVER TOO LATE By Gwendolyn Woodbury COMELY woman, nearing middle age, stepped out on the little cottage porch and shaded her eyes from the morning sun, that she might look deeper and farther into the budding green mysteries of a perfect day. As her gaze wandered from the distant hills to the nearer meadows and orchards, their peace seemed reflected in her face. But when she glanced down at her own garden a quick frown accompanied an impatient exclamation. “There’s that pesky dog again! I declare it’s enough to provoke a saint, which I never claimed to be. If there’s one thing on earth more bothersome than another it’s neighbors who don’t care two pins for other people’s ■comfort.” Once upon a time, before Miss Irene’s com- ing, the path from her steps had run directly through that yard and the next, ending at the adjoining house and was a well-worn trail. But a little cloud had appeared on the friendly horizon, at first no bigger than a man’s hand, and grew to such proportions that the spite fence had appeared to stop all intercourse. However, two young folks lived on either side, and love laughs at fences as well as locksmiths. So just where the big maple stretched its branches over the top an almost invisible gate had been made and many a night had the lovers found it an ideal place. But this was years ago. and the original owners had moved far away. The gate was fitted i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR now with latch and hinges, but she never used it, as the next house had been empty until lately, and then she had been disappointed to learn that it was only a lone bachelor who had taken the farm. But today with sudden determination she picked up the broken tulips and started down the path. Meanwhile her neighbor, happily unconscious of trouble, and feeling at peace with every man, went whistling to the barn. Round the corner whisked a large cat, holding a chicken in its mouth and disappeared through the very hole under the fence that the mischievous pup had used. “Drat that cat!” cried the farmer, “there goes another of tny best Plymouth Rocks. This thing is going to l)e stopped right now!” and he too strode down the path toward the gate, step- ping through it just as Miss Irene was about to reach for the latch. “Dear me!” was her startled thought, “it's himself. Now’s my chance!” though her courage was going fast, for she was a shy soul. “She’s the one this interview’s coming to,” ran Farmer John’s mind, “for I saw her petting that ornery cat one day,” and simultaneously they spoke. “Ma’am, that cat of yours—” “Sir, your dog—” Then they broke off in blank amaze- ment. A long stare, and again they cried in unison: “John!” “Irene!” “How in the world?—” “What on earth?—” And stopped again, for want of breath, seemingly. If so, John was the first to recover it. “Irene—tell me, have you been living here all these long years? I left home the day after we quarreled, just to make you sorry, but I was sure you would send for me to come back. And when I’d waited as long as I could stand it. and was starting home. I had a long spell of sickness that mighty near kept me from ever seeing old THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club has had a very suc- cessful year with Allene Holman as leader, Beatrice Sweet, assistant leader; Mary Rav- ton. pianist; Harriette Forde, treasurer; and Helen Northrup, secretary. The officers for next year have not as yet been elected. Newbury again. And when I did get there, nobody knew where you were. I went away to work again and was lucky. This spring I got tired of it all and bought this farm for a change. Just now your cat caught another chicken, and I was coming over to—Irene, are you married?” Irene’s face flamed like a pink peony. “Why, no, John. You see, rna’s health never was good in Newbury, so when an old aunt left her this little place she wanted to try the country air. And I was secretly grieving over you, John, and wanted to come where nobody knew me; so we just quietly moved away off here; and when ma died at last I just stayed on. I hadn’t inquired your name of anyone, and was coming to tell you how your dog was spoil- ing my garden.” “Irene,” said John softly, “do you remem- ber the night of the big sleighing party, when you and I promised to be pals for life? Look, I’ve carried this with me always.” And lie produced from his pocketbook a funny little tintype that she had given him on that occasion. “Will you give me a chance to make up for all we’ve missed since then?” “’Twas all my fault we quarreled.” “No, mine, too, for I was stubborn.” was the quick reply; “but oh, we’re too old to marry now.” “Old!—you?” cried John. “You look six- teen to me. and that’s a fact. And didn’t our old copy books say that it's never too late to mend?” “Well, I don't know,” twinkled Irene, “strikes me we were quite ready to follow up that cat and dog affair.” “Bless them both!” cried John. “I wouldn’t part with that pup now for a for- tune; but he shall learn to leave flowers alone, Irene, if you’ll just come and plant them in my garden always.” So the little gate was left wide open 'til Irene one bright day went through and stayed on the other side as Mrs. John. Regular meetings have been held Thurs- days in the Girls’ Gymnasium, and were followed by dancing for a short time.

DANIEL JACKSTONE, vice- president of Wilson Son’s But- ter and Egg Wholesale House, was an old grouch, possessed with a violent temper. Anyone who worked for him would tell you that, and Mr. Sanborne, his clever young assistant, could tell you, not only of his temper, but also a good deal about his stubbornness. Because of his knowledge of these two failings of his em- ployer he trembled when he thought of what he had done, and what the conse- quences would be when Mr. Jaekstone re- turned. When Mr. Jaekstone found it necessary to make a business trip to some other city, he left his office in charge of young San- borne. On such occasions Sanborne was allowed to do the buying on a small scale, but on any large orders he waited the vice- president’s return. It was one of such trips that his employer was on, when Sanborne took the awful chance. He marvelled at his own audacity when he thought of it. Shortly after Mr. Jaekstone left the office, a salesman entered from the North Paper Supply Co., he had one million paper car- tons that he would offer Wilson Son at a great discount, as they were the last of a lot. and the next order would advance the price at least four per cent. It was a good offer and the firm he represented could be relied upon, but Wilson Son never in all their history had bought such a large lot at one time. Mr. Sanborne thought it over.—but just for a second: if he hesitated he knew he would never dare give the order, and then he said in a casual tone, “Send them up. Bill, I guess we can use them,” just as if lie was not risking his position, with his dar- ing. Well, it was done now. and all his wish- ing could not change it, so thought poor Sanborne, as the gruff vice-president bustled into the office, like a fussy old woman. He lost no time in telling his em- ployer what he had done, even though he saw that he was taking an inopportune time to do so. Mr. Jaekstone was so sur- prised, enraged, and furious, at the same time, that it is a wonder he didn’t choke. He raged, walked the floor, and raged some more,—then he discharged Mr. Sanborne in short order, giving him absolutely no chance to explain or, for that matter, to even open his mouth. Just as Sanborne was leaving the office, a very crest-fallen young man, the president entered. He called Sanborne back and asked his reason for leaving so early in the day. While the vice-president was fuming, and Sanborne was explaining, and the president was listening, the telephone rang. It was the Paper Supply Co.; they wished to cancel the order, if possible, for they had a higher bidder for the same order. It was possible —so the president answered, while the vice- president sat by with unbelieving eyes. 'When the fair-minded president had heard Sanborne’s story, he got up. slapped him on the back, and sat him down in the vice-president’s swivel chair. The vice- president stood by trying to look as rathful as he felt. The president now turned to him and said. “For a long time I have been observing you, and I have noticed how little chance you have given those who worked for you. Many times they might have given you valuable assistance and you re- fused them. Jaekstone from now on. Mr. Robert Sanborne. will be vice-president of this concern. Please shut the door quietly on your way out.” Mr. Sanborne sat in the chair absolutely bewildered, his chest began to swell per- ceptibly and he let out a low whistle. “Well I swan,” he exclaimed, “what a queer old world this is.” Don’t Forget To Renew Your Subscription SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 18 1 HE GREATEST REWARD By Edith Bixbv '20 S Jack Standing sat in the doorway of Engine 3. doing floor patrol, it was impossible for him to keep his thoughts from wandering back to his old home town, to his mother and his sweet- heart. Alice, whom he had left several years before. Jack was only sixteen when he left home to “make his fortune,” as he termed it. The small Missouri town could not satisfy his vivid imagination and one day, in a fit of gloom, he packed a few things, and, leaving a note for his mother, stating that some day he would return, but giving no definite ad- dress. he departed for New York. By rid- ing on freight cars, and working his way along, he managed after many months to reach the great city. Being a very ambi- tious lad. Jack was fortunate enough to ob- tain work in a factory. His wages were small, but by careful management he suc- ceeded in attending and graduating from evening school. Like many other boys Jack was too proud to write home and of course he could never receive any news from there on that ac- count. Weeks merged into months and months into years. After he had finally written home and had waited a reasonable time for a reply, he was very much sur- prised and discouraged not to receive any answer. After making many inquiries of the postmaster and his former neighbors, he learned that both his mother and Alice had gone from the village months before. Thoroughly discouraged in the hope of hearing from them, he was determined to make some headway in his work and later make a grand effort to locate them. After much study, Jack succeeded in passing a Civil Service Examination, en- abling him to enter the fire department. In this respect he was well rewarded, for the vivid scenes which lie saw enacted at the fires glowed in his imagination. He put his whole heart and soul into his work. Now as Jack sat in the door of the Engine House, wondering if Alice ever thought of him, lie started with a jump, for the big gong was striking. Four-five-eight—the Brookfield Powder Plant. Awake to the alarming situation, Jack jumped onto the engine with the rest of the men, and soon found that the fire was one of the worst ever known there. Cries of “HELP” were heard. “BANG!” The fire had reached the room where the cartridges were stored. With a cry of alarm. Jack started up the ladder, heedless of the warning shouts of the on looking throng. Up the ladder, high- er and higher, climbed Jack, for what, he thought, was the value of his life compared with that of thousands? “BANG, BANG!” Then a muffled report as the fireproof wall dropped between the two rooms. Why did he not come back? Up the ladder went an- other fireman and in a few minutes returned, carrying a limp, scarred form. '1'lie next thing Jack knew he was awak- ened by a soft voice saying, “Jack, Jack, speak to me!” Jack opened his eyes with a great be- wilderment as he began to distinguish the once familiar outline of Alice’s sweet face. “Oh. Alice, my dear little girl!” he cried. “We have found each other at last. Mother—where is she?” “Your mother. Jack, is in the next room waiting to speak to you. When you left home it nearly broke her heart, but we never gave up hope of finding you. She finally recovered from the illness caused by her great anxiety and we came to the city where I could carry on my career as a nurse to better advantage. I have waited pa- tiently for you, dear, as T was confident of our meeting again. The doctor says that your face will be all right in a few months. Your burns were bad. but in the three days you have been here you have improved rapidly. Your mother is waiting to sec you, Jack.” A month later a white-haired, elderly mother welcomed her son and daughter into their new home as they stepped from the automobile after their short honeymoon.

Considering- our inactiv- ity during the years of war, it has been very successful, having appeared several times at school affairs. The club was made up of a double quar- tet, assisted by a group of tenors: John W. Delaney, leader, and Mr. Albert O. Plant- inga, coach. Judging from this year’s experience, we believe an efficient glee club can be built upon the present foundation. Four of our number graduate: Townsend, Delaney, Pat- ten and Foye. Their places must be filled and other voices added. We therefore ex- tend an urgent invitation to the undergrad- uates to make 1920-21 a banner year. The purpose of the club is to obtain a bet- ter knowledge of good vocal music, to pre- pare for college glee clubs and to cultivate acquaintance and fellow feeling among its members. The newly selected officers for 1920-21 arc: Leader, Theodore A. Corliss ’21; As- sistant Leader, Lincoln C. Higgins ’22; Secretary-Treasurer, Sumner M. Ford ’22. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 OUR LAST WORD K have. won the big race and it is 11p ours.” Last fall at the beginning of the school year, we aimed for a championship football team. We got it. Later the baseball season opened; we kept the aim with which we began the year— a star baseball team. We have the honor of stating that we have one of the finest baseball teams the Somerville High School ever produced. They have won again the championship laurels. We are proud of our players and of the spirit they have shown. They deserve due credit for their efforts. Too much emphasis cannot be given the high school students in support of Athletics this year. Never was greater spirit shown before. The backing of the whole school is one of the greatest assets in bringing victory to its players. We have proved this. Men of the baseball and football teams, again we extend to you our heart- iest congratulations. ATHLETIC NOTES We all congratulate Captain George Dowd, the leader of the crack Somerville High baseball nine, for the spirit which he has distributed amon r his team-mates. Myles Toulouse is batting for .333 these davs. Keep it up, Myles. “Beaney” Simpson is making great suc- cess as a pitcher and will be no doubt the twirling artist on hand next year. Every one should turn out for track next season and help Coach MacLaughlin turn up a winning team. Captain Dowd has placed himself in the class with “Babe Ruth.” since he places the ball very frequently into the Alewife Brook. Never mind that defeat from C. I- H., we still are at the top and will remain there unless beaten by Newton. “Dave” Donaldson can take a beating and be sporty in the mean time. He acted like a gentleman during the Everett contest and said nothing to his opponent in a way of starting trouble. Dowd and Toulouse are sure of being picked as all-scholastic infielders. They are batting high and very seldom make an error. Simpson Balks Brookline 10—3 Simpson, Somerville High’s lively right- hander. was too much for Brookline High and as a result Brookline lost her sixth successive game. 22 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Simpson hurled 7 1-2 innings, allowing but few scattered hits. Wickcrson, the “lefty,” who finished up, was touched for four bingles and three runs in the Brookline ninth. Sullivan, with a trio of safties, was the big hitter for the day. Dowd and Toulouse, the all-scholastic twins, played real college baseball. Somerville High played the whole game without an error being registered against them.

By win- ning, Somerville remains at the top. Cur- rier started the game and was found for four runs in three innings. Simpson re- placed him and held the Everett team, who expected to win. Dowd started things go- ing in the ninth, when, with Toulouse on second, he made a neat single to left, scor- ing Toulouse for the winning tally. Cran- dcll played an exceptionally good game at first, making several sensational catches caused by wild throws. Dowd and Toulouse excelled the team in batting and fielding.

Somerville Nosed Out Newton Somerville High strengthened its hold as leader of the Suburban League by de- feating Newton by the narrow margin of 3—2. The game was filled with brilliant plays and exciting moments. Barker, the Somerville High southpaw, allowed but seven hits in eleven innings. In the tenth Bjorkman of Newton placed a two-bagger in deep center, with no one out. Then Macomber hit to Barker, who fumbled, and the runners were safe on first and third. Barker at this point of distress tightened up and managed to pull out of the hole. In the tenth Somerville tried hard to get a run, but failed. In the eleventh Dowd was first at bat and walloped a clean two- bagger into left center. Kelliher sacrificed him to third. Lyon's next made a wild throw to Scavey, who, on seeing Dowd stealing home, threw to third. The ball went high and Dowd came across the plate with the winning tally and closing the game.

Malden High contends that it was the rain which saved Somerville from defeat, for when the game was called in the fifth Malden was leading 5—1. After the relapse, however, Somerville staged a “comeback” and scored one in the fifth, two in the sixth and two more in the ninth, which gave Somerville the de- cision. Simpson, better known as a foot- ball star, pitched for the first time this season and but seven hits were made off him. Toulouse, the crack shortstop, walloped one into the brook which registered for a three-bagger. Besides his fine work at the bat, Myles distributed three put-outs and two assists to his credit. Dowd, as usual, played well at the seconc sack.

Not only was his batting good but also his fielding. Simpson pitched in grand style, al- lowing but five hits. Toulouse and Donald- son played good ball and batted well.

At the first meeting Helen Northrup was elected president; Grace Haley, vice-presi- dent; Helen Peters, secretary; Sylvia Bate- man and Annie Cook, executive committee. Miss Lowe of the faculty, treasurer; and Miss Ritchie, teacher advisor. Prominent sports in which the Associa- tion have participated are basketball, skat- ing, snow-shoeing, tobogganing at Franklin Park, and swimming; and now that the warmer weather has come tennis practice has commenced. The picnic at Spot Pond under Miss Por- ter’s supervision last year was much en- joyed. Another picnic is hoped for. So every member—Stop! Look! and Listen ! when notices regarding the picnic arc given. Helen Peters, Sec. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The G. B. T.. Miss Whiting, Sargent ’20, as coach, and Capt. Helen Northrup, Sylvia Bateman. Eleanor Buswill, Pauline Dodge, Frances Kenney, Ruth Newman, and Lilli- an Pierce as some of the 1920 players, have done good work. ALPHA ZETA PHI During the first of the season the Alpha Zeta Phi Fraternity gave a vaudeville show and dance in Unitarian Hall. This proved to be the most successful feature of the year. Two large dances were held at the Hcine- mann House and the members enjoyed sev- eral private dances. A smoker and banquet was held in December, the liveliest affair of the season. The Fraternity has been well represented in all school activities, and the members The last game of the year was played with a class of Y. W. C. A. girls whose playing was far inferior to the S. H. S. team. It is hoped that next year there will be an early start and a full season of basketball. have endeavored to uphold the democratic principles with which the Fraternity was founded. Over the week-end of May 30 the Zetas enjoyed their annual camping trip at Little- ton. The Fraternity room has served to strengthen the bond of brotherhood among the members. The Alpha Zeta Phi pledges its faithful support to any activities of the school and extends its best wishes to the faculty and our fellow organizations. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 25 Once more the school year is drawing to a close and we arc about to bid each other farewell, some for the summer and many forever. The graduating class, many of them, are now on the threshold of life, which lies before them with its many oppor- tunities, successes and failures, pleasures and disappointments. Those who arc about to enter higher institutions have a few more years in which to prepare themselves for the great struggle for existence. To the graduating class we say, with great sincerity, may you each one meet with many successes and few failures, and may you meet each success with a determination to meet a greater success, and may you meet each failure with a smile and redouble your efforts to gain success. To the underclassmen we say, stay in school, study hard, learn all you can, sup- port your school and its faculty. To be sure it is easy to earn high wages without an education at the present time, but it is still true that the desirable positions are at- tained with the aid of a high school diploma, and in a few years, after the direct effects of the late war have past, it will be the edu- cated man that will command the high posi- tions and big salaries, as it was before the war. While in school do not forget that you are each one a unit in a great machine, and that the perfect running machine must have the co-operation of each unit. Re- member that your parents are paying for your education and that every minute wasted in school is money out of their pock- ets. and that some day you will regret your idle moments. Keep faithfully the charge that the graduating class leave in your care, to preserve the spirit and traditions of the school, and support your faculty. 'I'lie staff wish to thank all who have aid- ed them during the past year. Through the aid of both faculty and student body we have had, on the whole, a most successful year. The list of annual subscribers this year is the largest that it has ever been, and the single sales have been good. We have had many difficulties to overcome but we believe that we are coming out victorious. Among these difficulties have been the in- crease in cost of paper and publishing, and the prolonged absence of the editor (which is the reason for three numbers being pub- lished late). We wish success to the new staff and hope that during the coming year there will be fewer difficulties to overcome than there have been in the past. We wish the faculty and student body a most pleasant vacation. “How old is your baby brother?” walk twice as well as your brother.” “One year old.” said Tommy. “Well he ought to,” replied Tommy, “I’ve got a dog a year old and lie can “He’s got twice as many legs.” 26 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR NOTES OF THU ALVMNI CATTEBELL-08 igig Dorothy Freeman, who has been visit- ing in Canada, will join her mother in their apartment in Canton for the summer. 1918 The engagement of Marjorie Partridge to Harry G.

He afterward took a technical course at Northeastern College for four years; was attached to the Mass. Highway Commission until the United States entered the World War, when on May 21. 1917, he enlisted in the First Corps Cadets, which entered the Federal service as the 101 st Engineers. He was instructor at Wentworth Institute for several months. Miss Beatrice Sheridan and Walcott Hamblin, Jr., of Brooklyn, N. Y.. were mar- ried. They will reside in New York where he is engaged in the steel business. 1907 Mrs. James R. O'Hearn (Mary G.

THE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY This year, the regular interscholastic de- bates were resumed by the Debating So- ciety. The officers elected for 1919-20 were: Caroline Comey, president; Victoria Newman, vice-president; Helen Wilson, secretary-treasurer. At each meeting, debates were held in order to accustom the girls to the method of debating and also to give them practice in public speaking. A large number of girls presented themselves at the trials for the interscholastic debate and the following were selected for the team: Caroline Comey '20, Victoria Newman ’20, Ruth Dawes ’20, Lola Hamilton '20. Helen Wil- son ’20, Ruth Bond ’21. The alternates were Pearl Kerner ’21 and Anna Keating 22. The girls set earnestly to work under the competent direction of Miss Sprague, Miss Hunt and Miss Bell of the faculty. A short week before the debate, they were greatly saddened by the sudden death of their col- league. Ruth Dawes. But in spite of its sorrow and loss, the team still worked earn- estly on with Pearl Kerner on the regular team and Hazel Freeman ’21, acting as alternate. The Somerville team was defeated by Brookline, but won the victory at Newton. Perhaps it was the memory of their dear, departed classmate, always helpful, always cheerful, that sustained the girls in their defeat and helped them to secure the vic- tory. The Girls’ Debating Society gives a vote of thanks and appreciation to those mem- bers of the faculty who encouraged and as- sisted them in their efforts and work. Helen Wilson, Sec. 28 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR OMICRON PI SIGMA Oniicron Pi Sigma has once again had a most successful year. Not only has this chapter enlarged and strengthened itself, but also over the entire country the frater- nity has progressed to a great extent. From our many chapters we have been receiving- most favorable reports. New chapters have sprung up in distant and nearby states and those already formed have increased their membership. Psi has done her share by adding eleven new brothers to the ranks of O.P.S. To the four in this year’s graduating class, we extend our best wishes for a successful career in a higher institution and business world. Psi Chapters of Omicron Pi Sigma wishes the pupils and teachers of the Somerville High School a most pleasant vacation, and must now bid them adieu “Till We Meet Again.” SIGMA KAPPA ALPHA Sigma Kappa Alpha has had a very suc- cessful season. The socials opened with an informal dancing party in October which was held at Fitzedward Bungalow. This was followed by a Valentine Dance on February 13. Several private parties have been held at the homes of the members. The formal dance of the season was held at the Heinemann Academy on May 27. These socials proved to be both financial and social successes. During the year the Sigma Kappa Alpha’s have added to their sisterhood seventeen promising new members. The officers for the coming year are: Josephine Murphy, president; Evelyn Mac- donald. vice-president: Doris Hall, secre- tary, and Bernice Parker, treasurer. ALPHA THETA PI The fourth year of the Alpha Theta Pi Sorority has drawn to a close; this year, like those preceding, it has been very successful both socially and financially. Eleven new members have been initiated, three successful dances run and several pri- vate social functions for the active members and the alumni held. The sorority has tried to help both the teachers and pupils as much as possible, and has striven to promote a feeling of good fellowship throughout the school. The Alpha Theta Pi Sorority now wishes you all a very happy and prosperous vaca- tion. L. Pierce, Sec. PHI ALPHA The members of Phi Alpha for this year— Miriam Ewart, Agnes Conwell, Betty Has- kell, Anna Corliss, Helen Hudson and Dor- othy Miller—have enjoyed an unusually successful season. Five dances have been given during the year: one big dance at Heinemann House and several smaller ones. Each member has given a luncheon to the others, and the girls have had many happy times together. Miss Browne and Miss Bowker were chosen faculty members, to assist them in their affairs. Initiation of the new members was car- ried on during the first three weeks of May. The new group consists of Drusa Fielder, president; Lena Harriman, secretary; Au- drey Ware, treasurer; Janette Larrabee, Louise Stockbridge and Alice Williams. Those who are about to graduate wish them a very pleasant year. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 29 1920 Frederick Littlefield, Editor Dorothy Baker, Asst.
