The records of their achievements of last year arc sufficient to cause even the most skeptical to lose all doubt as to the calibre of 1922. Keep up the good work. Juniors, the school needs your help! It is hoped that the new pupils will co-operate with the upper classes and the Faculty in mak- ing this year one of the best that the school has ever seen. The new pupils can help most by be- ing good sports in cheerfully obeying the rules laid down by the school authorities. These di- rections were determined by experiment with classes just like yours and ours, and while they may seem a bit drastic or unnecessary at first, even the most mischievous and unruly of you will presently accept them as part of the game, 7 and obey them as the good sports you arc. As you gradually become better acquainted with the S. II.

Get into it! You will be in high school but once! Why not do something that will make you remember your high school days? You do not lack opportunity. The Glee Clubs, the Debating Societies, the orchestra, the ath- letic teams, all need your help and will be glacl to have every one of you with them. Opportun- ity to do something is knocking at your door. I low about it? LIBRARY 1 )EPARTMENT n Not al! high schools are so fortunate as to boast a library, though every community, large enough tc claim a name, has its public library. Our high school is a community of students and teachers who arc specializing along various lines of education. The High School Library fills all the wants for books and periodicals, no matter what course one may be taking. The library is well equipped with books, dic- tionaries, encyclopaedias — also books of com- munity civics and of commerce and industry. The languages are well represented and illus- trated books of Shakespeare’s works may be ob- tained. Collateral reading of good literature is advised by all teachers of English at the Somer- ville High School, so the library has on its shelves a choice collection of books of travel, adventure, college life, and stories of the late Great World War. Novels such as “Hugh Wynne” by S. Weir Mitchell, “Lorna Doone” bv Blackmore, and “Last Days of Pompeii” by Bulwcr Lytton, books which have stood the test of vears. are among this varied set. A section of the High School Library is de- voted to periodicals which have proved, in pre- vious years, very helpful to students in prepara- tion for oral themes and debates. The weekly magazines, as the Outlook, Independent. Liter- ary Digest. Scientific American, contain very valuable information; the monthly magazines, as the American Builder. American Forestry, American Cookery, American Industries, Book- man, Industrial Arts, National Geographic, Popular Mechanics. Review of. Reviews. Stenog- rapher. System, Travel and World’s Work, of- fer a varied field of study and collateral reading. From 8.15 in the morning to 2.30 in the after- noon lhe library is open and students are wel- come anytime during these hours. The High School Library is for the convenience of both students and faculty, and Miss Miller, librarian in charge, willingly devotes her time and atten- tion to those who seek a share of the fund of knowledge at hand. Students furthermore are privileged to obtain books from the public li- brary through the school library whether or not they have a library card. A cordial invitation is extended to visit the library and inspect it for yourselves. The li- brary is yours. Make good use of it. FE3 23 1223 s SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The “Landlubbers” Richard Joseph Walsh, 1923 OM I'-VANS and his chum. Rob Stanton, had arrived to spend their second summer at the home which Mr. I 'vans maintained at the little scacoast town of Bon- haven. During the preceding summer they had learned to sail the twenty- foot cat-boat which Tom’s father had presented him. Having had the experience of the previous season, they were fairly competent sailors. Their great and unfulfilled ambition was to have the boys of the town acknowledge them as equals in seamanship. This the town boys steadfastly refused to do, saying that “those city chaps are still a pair of ‘landlubbers.’ ” To understand the point of view of these “na- tives,” as they were dubbed by the “landlubbers.” it is necessary for us to know just what sort of a place Boniiaven was. This town, built on Cape Cod. had fostered a people who spent the greater part of their lives on the sea. Genera- tion after generation of them had gone forth to help carry Uncle Sam’s flag throughout the world. To sum up. they were typical Cape Cod- ders. These boys had sailed boats almost from their infancy, becoming expert boatmen. Nat- urally. therefore, these coast-bred boys would not easily acknowledge two city boys as their equals in this respect, even though the “land- lubbers” excelled in other sports, On the day our story opens, the town group were participating in a picnic of their exclusive yacht club, to which the city lads had not been admitted. The outing, which on this day was to be held in the woods several miles inland, contrary to their usual custom of holding their outings on the water, included almost all of the other boys of the town. As a severe storm threatened, it was deemed advisable not to use the boats. The approaching storm did not. however, restrain the men of the town from going out to the fish- ing grounds, as they could make port before it became serious. For that reason, therefore, when the boys from the city walked through the town they found it practically destitute of men or boys, ex- cept the smaller brothers of the exclusive set into which they sought admission. As they were sauntering past the house of Jim Kent, the leader of the yacht club, they were surprised to see Mrs. Kent appear in the doorway and excitedly beckon to them. She looked worried and unnerved, and it seemed to their startled eyes as if she was about to faint. They hastened to obey her_ summons. “Boys.” she cried as they approached, “please hurry and get Dr. Brown. Mr. Kent has been badly hurt by the boom on his boat, and must have a doctor at once.” The boys assented, and hurried towards the home of the town’s only doctor. When Mrs. Kent once more beheld them hast- ening back alone, disappointment was written on their faces, and a look of despair settled on her own. “The doctor has gone to visit a patient in Jonesville,” said Bob slowly, “and he is not ex- pected to return before tonight.” “But Harry must have attention long before then.” the troubled woman exclaimed. “The nearest doctor is in Bayside across the bay, and there is no one to go.” She burst into tears. “Oh. if Jim were only here.” The two boys turned to each other with the same thought uppermost in the minds of both; why shouldn’t they take the place of the miss- ing Jim? Bob voiced it: “Why not?” “Just the thing,” answered Tom. “we’ll sail over in the Victor and bring the doctor back with us. It would take far too long to go all the way ’round in the automobile.” The worried woman looked scarcely less' wor- ried. even, at this offer of assistance. “I’m afraid that you boys couldn’t do it. I’ve heard Jim say that you aren’t very good sailors. Even if you were, it looks as if we are to have that long expected storm.” We’ll demonstrate our seamanship by doing this,” said Tom. Then, turning to his chum. “Come on. Bob, we’ll fetch the doctor in spite of the weather.” The boys at once set out for the boat and pre- pared for the arduous trip that awaited them. After sending one of the small boys to explain their absence to Tom’s folks, they hoisted sail and were at last started on their errand of mercy. The trip across to Bayside was accomplished under very threatening conditions, but at last was completed to the intense relief of the boys. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 They easily found the young doctor, who was fresh from the city, and persuaded him to take the trip back. The old sea captains, of whom this town had its full share, were unanimous in shaking their gray head's and predicting ili luck for the little expedition composed of “city folks.” As one of them said, an experienced sailor might be able to do it, but as for those boys,—“n’ary a chance.” The boys were not to be deterred, however, for the woe-stricken face of the injured man’s wife was still fresh in their memories. These young knights-errant were constituted in such a manner that the thing making the most appeal to their generous hearts was the sight of a per- son in distress. The young doctor could still remember the ideals of his youth, as it was not very long since he, too, had been as these boys and filled with all the chivalry and enthusiasm that the average boy possesses. It was not dif- ficult. therefore, to persuade him to enter on this hazardous trip. The people of the little town were loath to have them depart, and many were the remon- strances offered by the kind-hearted folks against their going. Continued on page 19 � v The Divining Bullet Stanley F. Teele, 1923 ET’S go up in the garret,” said my brother Fred one rainy day. So up in the garret we went to rum- mage around in search of hidden treasures. We often went on these expeditions and many were our delightful finds. This day no wonders came to light until Fred, who was wear- ing out his clothes and patience crawling around in the black shadows of the eaves, stumbled upon a small chest. Lager to examine our prize, we carried it into the light. It proved to be a little chest of drawers resembling a doll’s bureau but heavy with nails and scraps of metal. With bated breath we opened drawer after drawer. Emptiness or nails — alike to us in value—were what we saw until the last drawer was hopefully opened. Our hopes were realized for — “by jiminey,” whispered Fred, “they're old-fashioned bullets.” And so they were — lit- tle round pellets of lead wrapped in their paper wadding and bound with linen thread. The pa- per was yellow with age, but the thread was still strong. “Come oil. let’s ask grandpa about them.” said I. “There may be a story.” Grandpa’s stories were always welcome, so we dashed down stairs with the drawer and bullets. Grandpa was read- ing the paper when we burst in on him. but he laid it down with a smile and said: “Well, boys?” We showed him our find and I said that we thought there might be a story. After a mo- ment’s pause he said: “You’re right, boys, there is a story about those bullets, though I haven’t thought of it for years.” “Tell us, grandpa, please,” we cried together. “Well now. boys,” lie said, settling in his chair and preparing to light his pipe—sure signs of a coming story — “It’s this way. You know that all this region, now called Clarendon Hill, was once called Walnut Hill. There was more rea- son then for calling it Walnut Hill than there is for calling it Clarendon, for in my grandfather’s time it was covered with walnut trees. During the Revolution the Hessians in the prison camps on Winter Hill cut down most of the trees for firewood, but I can remember a few that were left standing.” “But the bullets, grandpa, what about them?” I broke in impatiently. “Just a minute, boys, in just a minute. If you want the story I’ll tell it in my own way,” said grandpa, pulling at his pipe. “My father, your great-grandfather, lived in the old house with his father until I was about fourteen. Then he decided to build a house for himself. But mother insisted that there be water very near the house, as she was not going to carry water. So father said he would find a spring on the hillside where he was going to build. This part of Somerville then had plenty of water, but the hill seemed unlike the rest of the land. There weren’t any springs and father couldn’t dig a well deep enough, so he didn’t build that sum- mer. In the fall he spent much of his time tramping over the hills hunting foxes.

Mr. Avery opened the assembly with a few words advising- it.-' support, and then turned the meet- ing over to John Dunbar. He spoke, in a gen- fi U :av. of the needs of the paper and the nfWSfcity of having the support of the school. Miss Merrill, faculty adviser of the Radiator, and Mrs. Topiift spoke stirringly on the subjects of supporting the paper and the coming sub- scription campaign. Mr. Hosmer, faculty treas- urer. explained the financial circumstances of the Radiator and told of the increase in rates necessitated by the great increase in the cost of publication. • v V A group of nearly forty high school pupils took a voluntary lesson in English and the drama on Saturday. October 9. In other words they attended the afternoon performance of Goldsmith’s “She Stoops to Conquer,” by the Henry Jewett Players at the Copley Theatre. I pickets were obtained in advance through the kindness of Miss MacKnight of the English De- partment. who. with Miss Merrill, head of the department, and Miss Bell of the Department of Elocution, enjoyed the play with the pupils. The latter were mainly from the Junior and Senior classes. •: A football mass meeting was held in the hall on October 8. the entire school being present. Mr. Sears officiated and presented tiic various speakers, the first of whom was Mr. McLaugh- lin. the coach. Coach McLaughlin expressed in a few words his belief that the team would come through with another pennant this year, and asked for the support of the student body at the games. Mr. Mahoney, as a teacher, and Mr. Pearson, as treasurer of the Athletic Asso- ciation. told of the financial condition of the as- sociation. and explained the plans for the com- ing year. Warren Gilkey, captain of the team, guaranteed the hardest work possible by the team, and asked that the school support it in the same degree. Manager Harry Smith spoke a few words regarding the efforts of the team, and asked for a large and noisy attendance at the games. President Coyne also spoke a few words in behalf of the team. ?. The Girls’ Debating Society is to have, this year, the regular triangular debate with New- ton and Brookline. The officers of the year are: Ruth Rood, president: Hazel Freeman, vice-president; Anna Keating, secretary and treasurer. We hope that this year will be a most suc- cessful one and that there will be a strong so- ciety to back up the team. r if.

Newton. ’16. Dartmouth ’20. has been awarded a Rhodes scholarship, providing a course at the great Oxford University in England. Rhodes scholars are chosen in accordance with a three-fold requirement in the will of Cecil John Rhodes, which comprise character, intel- lectual ability and physical vigor. No written examinations arc held, the men being chosen on the basis of their school or college record, sup- plemented by a personal interview with the committee of selection. This year there were more than 400 candi- dates for the appointments. Normally, the quota for the United States is thirty-two. but owing to the fact that no appointments were made during the war. the quota for the United States was sixty-four, as it was last vear. MISS IDA S. GRAUSTEIN Thou loved’st all things lovely when walking with us here. Now, from the heights of heaven, seems earth no longer clear? Heaven is but life made richer, therein can be no loss. To meet our love and longing, thou hast no gulf to cross. The veil ’twixt earth and heaven, a breath might waft aside; We breathe one air, beloved, we follow one dear Guide. And half we feel thee leaning from thy deep calm of bliss, To sav to earth: “Beloved, how beauti- ful it is!” So. when the sky seems bluer, and when the blossoms wear Some tender mystic shading we never knew was there. We’ll say: “We see things earthly, by light of sainted eyes; She bends where we are gazing, today, from Paradise.” And. as in waves of beauty, the swift years come and go, Upon celestial currents our deeper life shall How. Hearing from that sweet country where blighting never came. Love chime the hours immortal, in earth and heaven the same. SOMERVILLE 11 Kill SCHOOL RADIATOR 15 An overwhelming sense of loss lias fallen upon the high school in the sudden death of Ida S. Graustein, S. H. S. 1920. Throughout her course Miss Graustein was a distinguished figure in the activities of her class. She was a leader of one of the Senior girls’ groups in physical training, and major of the 2nd Battalion in the Girls’ Military Drill. Gifted by nature with ex- ceptional powers of leadership. Miss Graustein carried into all her work an enthusiasm, a desire for perfection both in the work of the individual and of the entire group. By the perfection of the model she put before them and by her kindly interest in each she won cordial response and the best effort of one and all. With marked unselfishness she gave her services to any need- ing help, generously training even the rival group. Miss Graustein maintained excellent standing in scholarship, and was prepared to enter the Sargent School of Physical Training. In all her associations in social life, in home and church work, she carried the same spirit of joyous enthusiasm, of generous helpfulness and faithfulness to duty. She was an attendant at the Union Square Baptist Church. An unusually large group of friends among the faculty of the high school, the class of 1920 and the student body mourn her loss and lovingly cherish her memory. The teachers and pupils of the Som- erville High School extend their deepest sympathy to the parents and friends of Walter Williams, who died October 4 of infantile paralysis. He was a graduate of the Northern Junior High School, where he was admired by both pupils and teachers. Me enjoyed all forms of athletics, and was always cheerful and helpful. He was quiet and unassuming and possessed all the merits that make a boy and a man of sterling character. The school feels a sense of loss in the passing away of this likable boy who was with us for so short a time. ’ d'he Radiator extends a cordial welcome to the newcomers on the high school faculty, and in- vites them to make use of its columns when- ever possible. Poliowing is a brief sketch of each:— Miss Margery Moore, a graduate of the Salem Normal School, taught in the Punchard High School. Andover, before coming to Somerville. Miss Moore will teach commercial subjects. Miss Dorothy P. Harvey, a graduate of the Bangor High School and of Wheaton College, comes to us from the Northboro High School. Her subject is Spanish. Miss Annette B. MacKnight is a graduate of a New York High School; A. I� .. Jackson Col- lege: A. M.. Tufts College, majoring in English. Miss MacKnight has joined the English Depart- ment in our high school. k v THE DIVINING BULLET Continued from page 9 were once great places ‘for hunting foxes. One morning late in the fall he got up bright and early, took his gun and dog and went off after Mr. Reynard. About 10 we heard him come running into the yard. He burst in the door shouting: ‘I’ve found it. I've found it!’ ‘Found what?’ said mother calmly, wiping a dish. ‘Why, the spring, the spring of course.’ said he execut- ing a war dance. ‘Now we can build next sum- mer.’ “We children. I remember, crowded around him excitedly asking how. when and where. When he got his breath he said: ‘It was like this. I took a jaunt over to the swamp, but not a fox did I sec. so I called Hunter here and went over to the Home Farm, lust as we got in sight of it I saw a fox sneaking by the old walnut tree. I was down-wind and he didn’t smell me, so I fired. Lucky for me and the fox I didn’t hit him and the bullet deflected from the tree and ploughed a little ledge of shale on the hillside. I ran up and there where the bullet had knocked away the rock was bubbling the nicest, sweetest little spring you ever saw.’ “While father was relating this, mother wan unconcernedly getting dinner so we all trooped into the kitchen. Father sat down and hurriedly got up. T forgot I had those bullets in my pocket.’ he said. ‘Here, Josiah, put them in one of those drawers in my nail chest. The next time 1 want to find water I'll shoot one of them. They’re better than a divining rod.’ He never did though, because he went to war the next year and was killed.” Here grandpa took up hts paper and we went off to hunt foxes on Walnut II ill in the garret. 1(5 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR At last the football season that we have looked forward to has arrived. Football prac- tice began the Monday after school opened, at the Somerville Recreation Field, with a squad of over fifty candidates anxious to prove their ability as football players. Now, at the end of the sixth week, two husky squads have been formed to battle for positions on the regular team. The boys have faith in Coach McLaugh- lin’s ability to bring them through this season as a championship team, and every member of the squad is working hard to repeat Somerville High School’s enviable football record of last year. Gilkey, our captain and veteran star tackle, is welcomed-back on the gridiron, where he is do- ing fiis best to produce a championship team. •: v SOMERVILLE vs. ST. MARK’S Somerville High won its first game of the season against St. Mark’s Academy on October 2. 1920. Somerville outplayed St. Mark’s in every phase of the game, and won by a score of 14—(). A ninety-yard run. for a touchdown, by McPhail, was one of the outstanding features of the game. Simpson carried the ball for twenty-five yards through a broken field for the other touchdown. Gilkey kicked the goals. The lineup:— Kelliher, l.e. Gilkey, l.t. C'aldroni, l.g. Callahan, c. McKclvic, r.g. Knibbs. r.t. Chase, r.e. Coyne, q.b. McPhail. r.h. Lynch, Fay. I.h. ; Simpson, f.b. Kelliher, our fast left end, and veteran of last year’s team, is back in the line in his old posi- tion. Chase, our snappy right end. is back in the lineup this year and is expected to play his usual game. Simpson, our veteran fullback, is back this year with all his pep and all his ability to buck the line. Lynch, a veteran end, is expected to play his usual snappy game, not at one of the ends, but as left halfback. McPhail, another veteran backfield man, is back with his usual fighting spirit. v SOMERVILLE vs. TECH. ’23 On October 9 the S. H. S. football team played a scoreless game with Tech. ’23 at the Somerville Recreation Field. Tech, had a big, powerful team and would have defeated Somer- ville but for the wonderful fighting of the Som- erville team. McPhail, Simpson and Lynch did good work for Somerville. Captain Gilkey played his usual game.

SOMERVILLE UKill SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 THE‘LANDLUBBERS” Continued from page 9 Not to be prevented, however, the trio got un- der way and entered on the last and more dan- gerous part of their journey. After they had started till wind rose steadily into a gale, driv- ing down upon them with a ferocity that the boys had never before seen equalled. The wind whipped the sea into a very choppy and danger- ous slate, where a moment of mismanagement meant disaster. With the wind abeam they scudded along, sailing at a rate of speed that seemed almost like flying. Their passenger being of no use as a sailor, they managed the boat alone. Here at last was the desired chance to prove their knowledge of seamanship, and ably did they prove it. other- wise I fear this yarn would have a different termination. The trip seemed a nightmare to the worried young sailors, as they anxiously guided their craft towards the opposite shore. That Providence which watches over those en- gaged in a worthy cause must have been guiding them, for it seemed a miracle that they- ever reached the shore alive. Finally, after a thrill- ing passage, the r dropped anchor at Bonhaven. The men of the town, who had reached home before the storm broke with its full fury, were assembled at the dock, and many were the hands that helped make the yacht snug and that aided the wearied boys ashore. Looks bordering al- most on awe were cast at the two young “land- lubbers” who hod navigated the bay safely in that storm which would have tested the mettle of any one of those hardy fishermen, experi- enced as-they were. The doctor was hurried to the injured man and soon had him comfortable. Many present expressed a doubt as to who needed medical at- tention more, the patient or the doctor, for the latter was in a state bordering on hysterics af- ter his tumultuous trip across the bay. For many a day after he could not be coaxed into a boat, saying that he’d had his lesson, and— ■“never again.” The young heroes, as they were now termed, received the reward after which they had so long striven, when, as they were on their homeward way. Jim Kent intercepted them, saying: “Boys, you were right and I was wrong.” He spoke with deep emotion in his voice. Holding out his hand he silently shook hands with each of the boys. Thus was their compact of friendship sealed.-and never to this day has it been broken. Howard B.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S Thanksgiving, with all its accompanying fes- tivities and merry-making, is here once again. Let everyone rejoice on this day. Let him cat, drink, and be merry. Let him lift his voice in laughter and song. But let him not forget for one instant the noble purpose to which this day is consecrated. In the autumn of 1621, following the landing of the Pilgrims. Governor Bradford first sent out word that a day be set aside as a day of thanksgiving for the harvest just reaped, and as a day of prayer to the Almighty for as- sistance in the future. From that year, 1621, a day has been set apart each year for this pur- pose. and now. as the Thanksgiving of 1920 ar- rives. let us not fail to give thanks for our many blessings, and let us not fail to ask Him for strength and guidance in the tasks that lie be- fore us. The election of November 2 was a notable one in many ways. While women had been voting in some states for several years, this was the first Presidential election since the passing of the Con- stitutional Amendment had given Woman Suf- frage to the entire country, and the tremendous vote cast showed that they took full advantage of their new privilege. The new President will have a good working majority of his own party in the Senate, and a record-breaking majority in the House of Representatives. It is evident that the people were determined to have a change of policy in the affairs of the nation, and that this resolution was not confined to any one locality, but was country-wide. The new administration will have the settling of many serious problems both at home and abroad, and while the great events of the last six years have made many changes in conditions in the United States as well as in every other country in the world, we believe that they can and will be settled in a way that will meet the approval of the people of this coun- try. We hope that with the inauguration of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge on March 4 next, a better and wiser government will be born, and that a new era of peace and prosperity will dawn on this country. Our new business manager. Donald Miller, has earned for himself the title, “The Best Ad Chaser and Idea Foundry in Ten Years.” When Don took hold of the job. on about October 1, things were looking rather gloomy and exceedingly un- propitious at the manager’s pipe of the Radiator. He spent just one afternoon getting points from our good friend. Mr. Iiosmer, got up lots of steam, and tackled his job. His two able assist- ants. Rowe and Higgins, also got busy. Miller got a $40 full-page ad from his first man, and lie has been traveling under a forced draft ever since until now he has a report of advertisers that has never been equalled at this season of the year. If every pupil in the Somerville High School had the school spirit and had the enthusiasm of Don Miller, what a school we would have and what a paper the Radiator would be! Are you an S. II. S. man or a slacker? If you are a slacker you will stay at home Thanksgiving Day and read this Radiator. If you are an S. 11. S. man you will go get your girl and a blanket and march proudly up the Boule- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 31 vard till you reach a large, imposing, concrete structure over which waves the Red and Blue, and you will exhibit a pair of tickets, strut slowly in, gaze aloft, pick out a couple of choice seats, and then proceed to get there. Then you will clap, you will shout, you will cheer, you will yell, and you will help Captain Gilkey and his boys win the last game of the year. Are you an S. H. S. man or a slacker? The sympathy of the faculty and of the stu- dent body goes out to our instructors, Miss Gatchell and Miss Johnson, each of whom has been bereaved by the loss of her mother. In both instances death came as a release after a long, weary illness. “God calls our loved ones, yet we lose not wholly What he hath given; They live on earth in thought and deed as truly As in His heaven.” The school thanks Miss Bradford and the pu- pils of her classes for the very attractive and artistic posters, advertising Better English Mottoes, which they have produced. Why does anybody advertise in the Radiator? Did you ever think of that simple question ? Sim- ple. yes, but if they didn’t you would have no Radiator! People are not so made nowadays that they will pay good money to see their names in print, even in a paper like the Radiator, and pat themselves on the back because of it. A few worthy citizens, blessings on their heads, adver- tise in the Radiator through public spirit and in- terest in the school, but they are the exceptions, and are in a minority. Folks advertise in our paper because they want returns! They advertise in our paper because it is business to do so, be- cause they hope that they will profit by it in a business way. To these men. Somerville High School, you owe largely your Radiator! Patron- ize them! Buy your new collar or your lolly- pop there instead of next door! Prove to them, friends, that It Pays to Advertise!” Jj LIBRARY DEPAimI ENT | The West Library contains a splendid assort- ment of English reading books suited for the wants of every student. “Americans by Adoption.” written by Joseph Husband, is one of the newest of the books that have been added to our school library. Mr. Hus- band has written in this book a brief account of the life of nine men, all of foreign birth, who came to America during the early years of their lives. Mr. Stephen Girard, a Frenchman; John Ericsson, a native of Sweden: Louis Agassiz, a Swiss; Car! Schurz and Theodore Thomas, both of German birth; Andrew Carnegie, a Scotch- man ; Augustus Saint-Gaudens, an Irishman, and Jacob Riis. a native of Denmark, are all “Ameri- cans by Adoption.” These arc the men that Mr. Husband has written about in his book. A most wonderfully interesting and descrip- tive account of the lives of these men is given by the author. He tells the story of the life of each one by giving real incidents and happenings, not mere details. To anyone who is interested in adding to their present knowledge of men worthy to be called Americans, this book of Mr. Husband’s will make a strong appeal. “Friend of Caesar,” a historical novel, written by William Davis, may be found among the Eng- lish books of our school library. Mr. Davis weaves into the historic setting of his story a theme of love. The customs, manner and dress of the people during the time of Caesar, their regard for slaves, the political confusion at this period between the followers of Caesar and Pompeius are told in a very characteristic way. Mr. Davis’s descriptions are very cleverly written and his choice of words is unique. Any- one that cares for a story different from the type of our modern novel will enjoy this book written by Mr. Davis. I'he following is a list of some of the books that can lie found in the West Library: Lc Petit Nord.” by Mrs. Grenfell; Man for the Ages,” by Irving Bacheldcr: An American Idyll.” by Cor- nelia S. Parker; “What Bird Is That?” by Frank Chapman; “Theodore Roosevelt.” by C. L. Pear- son; Prose and Poetry,” taken from the Atlan- tic Monthly. 32 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Bob’s Turkey” W. Allen Newton, 1921 N the sun rose on this crisp 'ovember morning in the year 774. it looked down on a rough log thin in a little clearing in the estern part of what is now Massa- chusetts. All about was the dark, gloomy forest, the home of wild and ferocious animals and still more wild and dangerous men. Although it was very early in the morning signs of life could be seen about the cabin. A faint whisp of smoke issued from the big stone chim- ney, proving that the preparation of breakfast was in progress. Suddenly the door swung open and a tall young man stepped out into the clearing. He was clad from tip to toe in deerskin, a man in stature yet a boy in years. Me was in fact the man of the family. His father, a hunter and trapper, had been killed by Indians several years before, and the boy and his mother were left alone in the wilderness to keep up the hard struggle of the settler against the forces of a new and savage country. This early responsibility had developed him far beyond iris years. He stood six feet and more in his stocking feet, was broad shouldered and powerful of limb. II is face was tanned by sun, wind, and rain, until only his light hair and blue eyes betrayed the fact that he was not an Indian. “Say. ma, come on out and sec what a fine morning it is,” he called, after surveying the beauties of nature that would always seem new and fresh to him. His mother appeared at the door. She was a tall, strong looking woman, as pioneers’ wives must be to endure the privations of the frontier. Her face and manner plainly showed that she was not an ordinary woman of the back woods. She appeared more cultured and refined than the average settler’s wife. “It certainly is a fine morning. Bob.” said his mother, then added: “Do you realize that tomor- row is Thanksgiving Day?” “Y by. no. mother, I had forgotten all about it. but now that you speak of it I am reminded that there arc sonic turkeys out in the woods several miles from here. 1 heard them gobbling two nights ago when I was over at Dick’s house. I guess I will shoot a couple for dinner tomorrow. I’ll start shortly after breakfast so that I can get home before midnight. ’Tis a long trip you know. Half an hour later Bob appeared with his mus- ket in the hollow of his arm and strode into the forest. It was dusk when he reached the place where he had heard the gobble of the turkey. He sat down in the underbrush and waited patiently. His patience was finally rewarded bv the gobble of a turkey. He crept carefully forward on hands and knees, stopping now and then to listen until he reached a break in the brush. The sound was now near at hand. Suddenly a. half-naked savage stood up from the brush where lit had been concealed. His ugly face and powerful body were smeared with war paint, and a tomahawk and scalping knife hung from his belt. Bob stepped behind a tree and waited, motion- less. The Indian stood still as if listening and then looked about him in every direction. The white bov involuntarily shivered when the fierce black eyes turned toward him. but evidently the Indian did not see him, for he dropped down in the brush again and repeated the call of the turkey. “So.” thought Bob. “this is our turkey, eh?” He brought his gun to his shoulder and pulled the trigger. A metallic snap told him that the gun bad missed fire. The savage heard the click and leaped to his feet, and hurled his tomahawk at the boy. Bob fell to the ground with a thud. The Indian rushed on his fallen enemy, scalping knife in hand. However, instead.of a dead boy, he encount- ered a very lively one, for Bob had flung him- self to the ground, unharmed. He sprang to his feet and met the Indian hand to hand. They fought savagely, sometimes on their feet, some- times rolling on the ground. Bob was strong and he was fighting for his life or he would soon have succumbed to the terrific strain of the struggle. As it was lie knew that the battle could not last long. His breath was coming in short gasps. A mist floated before his eyes. He was growing very weak, but he made one last desperate effort to twist the knife from the grasp of the savage. This time he was successful and the knife fell to the ground. He grasped his enemy by the throat in a powerful grip and soon the battle was over and the savage lay prostrate on the ground. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 Bob staggered away into the shadows in the direction of the settlement to warn the garrison of the approach of hostile Indians. Several times he was forced to stop and hide while dark forms flitted past him in the darkness, and then struggled on again. Several hours later he ap- proached the gate of the stockade and after giv - ing his warning dropped unconscious to the ground. sje When he came to. he found himself within the block-house with his mother at his bedside. Men were stationed about the room with mus- kets poked through loop-holes. Women were moulding bullets. All was in readiness for the expected attack. The block-house was plenti- fully .supplied with provisions and a clear spring bubbled within the walls of the stockade, so the defenders could withstand a long siege if neces- sary. Suddenly a gun spoke, then another, and the battle was on. The light raged fiercely for sev- eral hours and then the enemy retreated, bear- ing away a great number of dead and wounded. The Indians had expected to accomplish a sur- prise attack, but had met with such well pre- pared resistance that they were forced to with- draw. leaving the garrison victors of the day. hen the defenders were sure of the depar- ture of the foe they held a public thanksgiving, thanking the Mather in Heaven that they had been preserved from a terrible massacre. Had they not received timely warning they would surely have perished. Three lusty cheers were then given for Bob and his turkey gobbler. The young backwoodsman seemed ashamed of hav- ing mistaken an Indian signal for a real turkey, but. “After all. ma.” he said, “it was lucky I did hunt the ‘turkey.’ ” The Missing Fudge Richard Joseph Walsh, 1923 ILLIAM Jones, march right along to the store. I can’t have you around any longer. Just because the club meets here you seem to think that it gives you a license to disgrace me before them all. Shame on you.” The irate mother, thus addressing her youthful son, had been driven almost to desperation by his irritating and annoying antics. On this particular evening, early in September, the Woman’s Club, to which Mrs. Jones be- longed. was meeting at her house. While os- tensibly this group of women was gathered there to transact the business of the club, the main reason for so many being present was that they were anxious to sample some of Mrs. Jones’ delicious fudge, for which she had long been famous. Most of these women were able candy- makers themselves, and wished to see if her fudge justified its reputation. Mrs. Jones, know- ing this, had made a batch of the toothsome con- fection, taking special pains to make it unusually appetizing, in order to prove her supremacy in this line. She knew that if William, who, in times of less stress was called W illie.” were at home when the fudge was served, or even knew of it. he would manage to appropriate the most of it for himself. Therefore, she had carefully kept the fact of its creation from him. and had banished him to the store, two miles distant, on the pretext of an errand. Being wise in the ways of youth, she figured that he would fall in with his friend, led Wilson, the “Huck Finn” of the village, and be absent the greater part of the evening, giving the club time to gossip and con- sume fudge to their heart’s desire. Shortly after William had gone, Mrs. Jones, excusing herself from the meeting, took the fudge from its place of concealment in the oven, and placed it on the back steps, in order that it might cool. Then she returned to the club meet- ing to converse with her associate club members until the fudge should be cool enough to serve. Soon conversation on club affairs began to wane and turned to candy-making, each woman telling of her favorite method and praising those of the others. Finally one of Mrs. Jones’ dead- liest rivals turned to her and beamingly said: We are so impatient to have some of your de- licious fudge. Having heard it praised so much, we know that it must be wonderful.” Mrs. Jones flushed with pleasure at this praise. 34 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR and answered simply: “I hope that you’ll like it. It must be cooled by now. and if you’ll excuse me for a moment. ...” smilingly she disap- peared in the direction of the back steps, where, to her belief, the fudge reposed. As she stepped out of the door she saw disappearing in the dark- ness a boy’s figure which seemed familiar to her. She gave no second thought to his presence there, however, being more interested in the candy. Then Mrs. Jones turned to where the fudge had been left, when a cry of surprise burst from her.-----It was gone! Hurriedly looking around the porch and steps, she made certain that the fudge was indeed not there. An angry sparkle, which boded no good for her son. ap- peared in her eye, for instantly following on the discovery of her loss the suspicion entered her mind that he had returned and “hooked” the fudge in return for his banishment, probably thinking the deed n “great joke.” “Til show him what a joke it is,” the angry woman exclaimed as she hurried toward the barn, where she knew, from former experience, that W illiam could be found if he had returned. “Those other pranks of his were bad enough, but leaving me in this fix and with all those women waiting, too.----” She grew silent, as nearing the barn, she caught a glimpse of a speck of light coming through a rent in the horse blanket which the boys had carefully draped across the window to conceal—as they thought—the light which would betray their presence in the barn. Suddenly and without warning Mrs. Jones flung open the barn door, and there, sure enough, sat William and Jed. their youthful faces revealed by the light of a lantern as being covered, around the mouth, by a brown, sticky looking substance, easily taken by anyone to be the remains of a hurried feast of fudge, and making the already suspicious mother feel absolutely certain. Her unfortunate son was taken firmly, yes, even roughly, by the car. and a gaze of inexpres- sible chill was bent on the equally unfortunate Jed. In words which left no doubt as to their meaning. Mrs. Tones demanded explanation of the two boys, emphasizing each word by a twitch at the ear of William, and a continued stare in the direction of Jed. Both boys remained mute for a moment, a dis- arming look of surprise on their faces, then Wil- liam, apparently the first to recover, answered in a shaky voice: “W-why, mother, we didn’t know anything about that fudge. Jed and I were down at Mr. Johnston’s store where I went to get you your tea”; he held up a package which Mrs. Jones recognized as bearing the thing after which she had sent him. “We helped him move some boxes ’ William continued, “and he gave us some maple sugar. Then we came up here to eat it and talk.” Knowing that her son was usually truthful, despite his pranks, and favorably impressed by the story, Mrs. Jones released William’s ear and looked more kindly at Jed. “I wonder.” she said, half to herself. “N-no, it couldn’t be.” “Oh. ma,” broke in William. “I bet Ferdie took it.” His mother looked rather startled, “What makes you say that?” “I saw him coming out from behind the house when we were coming home from the store.” Ferti, or Ferdinand Little, was the “model” boy of the village, and was cordially hated by all the other boys. Although not a bright bov in school, or emt of it. he was generally regarded by most of the mothers to be the one whom lit- tle Samuel should copy. As AVUliam-once'ex- pressed it: “ henever ma wants me to scrub niv ears or take some medicine,-she tells me how clean and neat Ferdinand is. and how he always takes his medicine like a little man.” Ordinarily. Mrs. Jones would have given no credence to this accusation, for she knew that her son hated the other boy just as much as any of the other boys. Now, however, the idea found a ready reception in her mind, for,—Ferdinand Little was the boy that she had seen disappear- ing into the darkness as she had come out of the door! “Come over to the Littles’ house and we’ll see what Ferdinand has to say.” she commanded, for- getting about the assemblage of waiting women .11 her own parlor. William gladly assented, and so also did Jed. for they looked forward with pleasure to seeing the perfect Ferdinand ac- cused for once, at least, of a misdeed. Mrs. Jones and the two boys started toward the gate, when as they were rounding the cor- ner of the house Jed stumbled on something soft and yielding, and which proved itself to be alive by a startled yelp. William, turning quickly, hit his foot against something lying on the ground, which gave out a dull ring. “Why. it is Spot.” exclaimed Mrs. Jones; then, after stooping to examine the thing on which William had stumbled, “Boys, the mystery is solved: there goes the thief.” and she pointed to Spot, who was fleeing in the direction of the barn. A smile crept to her face as the humor of the situation dawned upon her. To think that all that trouble had been made by one small dog, who had probably dragged the pan of fudge to that corner. Then she bethought herself of the (Continued on Page IT) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 A Doughboy’s Thanksgiving in Flanders Allen Daggett, 1921 HAXKSGIYTXG Day of 1917 dawned bleak and chill over ---- Sector in Flanders. No more bleak and chill than the heart of Private Algernon Percival Simpkins, which was as full as it could possibly be of the disappointment of blighted hopes. Poor “Algy,” as the boys had called him ever since he enlisted, had expected to celebrate the great American festive day in billets. When his company marched “back” to billets the day be- fore, however, he had not been allowed to accom- pany his comrades, but had been kept in his trench as punishment for a slight misdemeanor. It was no slight punishment, though! Private “Algy” would have testified to that, without doubt. So now he was sitting on an old biscuit tin, manipulating a safety razor with a very unsteady hand. In a half-hour he would be on duty in the trench outside his dug-out, wading through a small river of mud, and seeing nothing, hearing nothing, trying to think about anything but “whizz-bangs,” “busy Berthas,” and ail the other fiendish missiles of the Boche. “This is a fine way to celebrate Thanksgiv- ing,” thought Private “Algy,” “I’ve a lot to be thankful for, I don’t think.” In a few minutes he heard the whine of a shell, then another passing over his head. How he hated them! How he hated everything pertain- ing to war! War! Why, he had willingly en- listed, but then he did not realize what this war would be. Today, especially, he felt that Sher- man’s brief words concerning war were too mildly expressed. Xow. these thoughts were not conducive to a quick shave, so, after a long but ineffective slash- ing with the razor, he donned his helmet and stepped out into the trench. A new company was occupying that portion of the sector. !t had arrived the afternoon of the day before to take the place of “Algy’s” company. So new faces greeted him as he stepped out of his dug-out. They were smiling, happy faces, whose expressions were not yet attuned to the solemnitv of warfare. These fellows had evi- dently been celebrating Thanksgiving the day before, revelling in pics, cakes and myriads of other good things sent for the occasion from homes across the sea. Ah, they were lucky! Well, some fellows were lucky, but never Pri- vate “Algy.” “My kingdom for a slice of roast turkey!” thought the envious doughboy, chewing labori- ously at a piece of “bully beef.” As he walked down the trench toward his post, he saw «a group of soldiers gathered about one comrade who had received a severe wound in the chest. “Algy” quickly joined the group, and learned that the wounded man was Jack Apple- ton. the most popular fellow in the company. The latter was in a serious condition and needed the attention of a surgeon immediately. One man, who had run to the surgeon’s dug-out, re- turned with the information that the surgeon had been killed by a bit of shell. This news was re- ceived bv groans from the group, for they dreaded to sec their loved comrade “go west” without an effort being made to save him. A volunteer was called for, to run through the heavy barrage, which was then being directed by the Germans toward a point between that sector and the adjacent one, and to secure a surgeon to attend the wounded soldier. “Algy” was the first to volunteer for the mission. He started off. followed by cries of “good luck.” How he passed through that barrage, an earthly I lei!; how he repassed through it with the surgeon of-----Sector, he cannot fully real- ize to this day. He does realize that it was the greatest half-hour of his life, yet one which he would not repeat for any price. As with the surgeon he approached his own sector, through a shower of shells, a mighty ex- plosion shook the earth about the two men, knocking them to the ground. At the same time the barrage ceased. As the atmosphere cleared partially of smoke, a tragic scene was unfolded to the vision of the two soldiers. There before them were the ruins of Sector-----and its occu- pants. One mass of mangled soldiery scattered among piles of debris and earth. A German mine had accomplished its heinous task! While he assisted the rescuing party in its work of mercy throughout the destroyed trenches. Private “Algy” thought no more of his hatred for war. He thought no more of his dis- appointed hopes for a Thanksgiving spent in bil- lets. He did not even think of his heroic mission. (Continued on Page 37) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3( The Music Master Mary Harrington, 1921 T was a cold, dreary night in Decem- ber. The wind whistled through the hollow trees and whirled the snow about. How picturesque it would be for one to peep in the win- dow of the little red cottage and see that happy little family seated before the cheer- ful fireplace! Grandma was busily knitting for her boys across the sea, while grandpa was en- joying his favorite pleasure, reading. Beside them was a group of happy little children, who were quietly amusing themselves looking over colored pictures. Just then the old-fashioned clock struck s-e-v-e-n. “Come, children.” said mother, who made her appearance in the cozy little room, “the sandman is coming.” Grandpa dropped his pa- per and seemed lost in meditation. Little Ruth, noticing his blank expression, said: “What arc you thinking of. grandpa dear? Aren't you go- ing to tell me a wee. little storv ’fore I go to bed ?” “Yes, dear. I will. Just now I read the name of a famous musician who has passed away. Tim Gordon. How well I remember him!” “Oh. tell me about him. please!” Little Ruth seated herself on grandpa’s knee, while we (the family) drew our chairs closer to him as he went on: “Long, long ago there lived a man named Mr. Gordon, who was left alone in the world to care for his little son, Tim. As Mr. Gordon had but little money and no prospects for future happiness, he started in business in a small, dilapidated grocery store. This proved to be unsuccessful, as money was scarce and he had no one to help him. Poor Tim! He could not help his father as he was an invalid and also blind. All day he sat in the dingy, but neatly- k«q t store, waiting for some occasional cus- tomer to break the monotony. His one desire was to own a violin, l ie inherited this love for music through his mother, who had for many years been dead. When a mere child Tim had owned a violin, but had been obliged to sell it years ago. How he had mastered the violin when a small boy! One day I decided to bring a little sunshine into his dull life, so I bought him an inexpensive violin. Never shall I forget the expression on that bovish face when he received it!” For tlu first time I interrupted by saying: “Oh, please go on!” “Well, one day. faint, soft strains of music sounded forth from that dreary, forsaken store. These sounds were heard by a noted professor of music who was passing by. He stopped, listened, and entered the store. There, in the grey twilight, he ob- served the figure of a blind boy. swaying in rhythm of the music. He marvelled at a child of Tim’s age playing such music. After con- versing with Mr. Gordon and Tim, he decided to offer Tim a large sum of money to play at his famous concerts. To this Tim agreed, and this was the starting point of his career. I need not tell you any more. You all know of his fame, but as I read the account of his life in the paper tonight, it brought back pleasant memories to me My heart beat fast when I read that some- one had given Professor Gordon his first violin as a gift. No. I never told anyone of this before, but tonight 1 can go to sleep feeling that I brought a little sunshine into someone’s life. That is all.” 1 was spellbound! As I looked at this kind- hearted old man with snow-white hair. 1 was thinking of countless deeds of kindness which he had done for other people. In fact, 1 think we were all thinking about the same thing. Even little Ruth said: “Well, grandpa, that bed- time story was—oh. so nice! I didn’t know all the big words you used, but it made me feel ‘awful’ happy ’cause you gave Tim a violin. I wish you ’ould buy me one and I might be a pro- fessor too.” Once again the old clock sounded n-i-n-c. The twilight had deepened into darkness; the logs had burned almost to ashes, so the entire family decided to join the children in the land of dreams where they would see Tim, the music master. On November 11 an assembly of the entire school was held in the hall. The week being dedicated to “Better Speech.” a speaker in its behalf was present. Mr. E. E. Clive, of the Jewett Players at the Copley Theatre, gave an interesting address on the benefits of good English and certainly practiced what he preached. The school appreciates Mr. Clive’s efforts in its behalf. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 7VOTFS OF THE ALVMNI CAI-TTB ELL-08 1920 Lillian Pierce. Marion Blood.

In the third period Somerville made a touchdown, but lost it on a penalty. In the fourth period “Bob” MacPhail intercepted a forward pass and Somerville again marched down the field for a touchdown.

In the second period Newton tried several for- ward passes. Here Somerville was again penal- ized fifteen yards, placing the ball on the one- yard line. Newton scored a touchdown on the next play. Captain Garrity again scoring. In the third period Somerville held and New- ton was unable to score.

I’m going to make some more fudge. There’ll be enough for all of us.” Enter- ing the house, she told the waiting club mem- bers of the amusing incident, and soon they were all enjoying ? hearty laugh. As those were the days “befo’ de wall” when sugar was plentiful, Mrs. Jones at once set to work and made another batch of fudge, which all the women acknowl- edged as superior to any that they had ever tasted. As she was a woman not given to cry- ing over spilt milk, she greatly enjoyed the tale that she had had to tell the others, and so the evening closed happily for her. With “Willie” and Jed over in a corner filling themselves with fudge till they could eat no more, it goes with- out saying that they were enjoying themselves. As for the women, they too were happy,—why?— well, if one were to ask the dignified president of the club why she enjoyed the evening, the an- swer would probably be that the educational topics discussed there were what interested her. but down deep in her heart I think the reason was the same as of the youthful “Willie.” for who can resist an attractive piece of fudge?

'Hie time is fast approaching and is. in fact, nearly upon us. when we must make our New Year’s Resolutions. Let us consider carefully a moment or two what we had best resolve to lo or desist from doing in 1921. In the first place, let us all determine to work harder than ever before. Let us tack about and get all we can out of our courses, rather than tire our brains with wily schemes about getting as little as possible, and yet slide by. Let us try to be more conscientious about the few simple rules of the school, especially in regard to filing, and let us resolve to make the coming twelve months the best ever for ourselves and for the Somerville High School. A very good showing on the Honor Roll by everyone except the Seniors. What is the mat- ter. 1921 ? Aren’t you as bright as the average of senior classes or are you just lazy? There is no reason under the sun why the Class of 1921 should not be at the top where it ought to be. unless one of these conditions, or both, is true. The school is expecting you to wake up and show your calibre. In spite of the fact that our team secured but fourth place in the Suburban League football race, the team played exceptionally well and finished creditably, considering the great handi- cap of many injuries. The school appreciates the efforts of Coach McLaughlin. Captain Gil- key. and every man on the squad, and honors them for what they did do. rather than blames them for what thev did not do. The track and hockey teams need the support of every member of the school. They need the support of the school in turning out for the teams and for practice. They need the support of the school in a moral and vocal way at every game and meet. Let us see if a couple of teams cannot be developed in the S. H. S. that will beat everything in sight. Beginning with this, the December issue, and continuing each month throughout the school year, we hope to publish one or two arti- cles written by men outside the school. The pupils will find them interesting and enjoyable, and will derive benefit from them. All alumni arc invited to contribute. We are indebted to Mayor Eldridge for the splendid article on “Opportunities.” It con- tains much sound advice and good counsel, and should be read by everyone. We appreciate Mayor Eldridge’s interest in the school and its activities, and thank him that in the midst of many duties he yet found time to help the Rad- iator. The article in this issue on “S. H. S.. ’84. and the Radiator” was written by Mr. William E. Brig- ham. Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript. Mr. Brigham graduated in 1884. and ever since that date has been engaged in literary work of one sort or another. While in the Somerville High School he organized a staff and published the first volume of the Radiator. We thank Mr. Brigham for his interesting con- tribution. SOM KRYILLK 11 Kill SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 Opportunities Hon. Charles W. EUIridgc PPORTUNITIES and possibilities for service in the complex civiliza- tion of the twentieth century pro- vide a fascinating subject of study, it seems to be a general complaint among the young people that op- portunities for winning success or even obtain- ing a livelihood are much fewer today than when their parents were young; and that this must necessarily be so because there are many more people today, and competition is therefore more keen. Vet any one with experience in the work acknowledges that opportunities increase at least as rapidly as the population. More people make more wants, and these arc greatly multiplied by science, invention and new ideas of all kinds. When I speak of opportunities I mean opportunities for helpful service, as these are what a healthy boy or girl should desire. There is more work to be done than there are people to do it. but especially in this age is there a multitude of opportunities for the trained mind. Professions and industries, busi- ness and science always have the “Welcome” sign out for a young man or young woman with an alert mind, made facile and keen by educa - tion, and supplemented by ambition and a ca- pacity for hard work. If a traveler intends to go far, he makes prep- aration for his journey. No military campaign of any consequence is undertaken without plans being carefully laid. The time and effort which boys and girls put in school are the first prepa- ration for success in life. There are, of course, many examples in our own country of men and women who have accomplished wonderful things without the'aid of schools, but they did not do so without education. They were self- taught. and the training of their minds was ac- complished with much greater toil than would have been necessary had they had the advan- tages of high grade schools taught by capable and consecrated teachers. Life has much in store for the child who has to leave school at an early age, but no child should voluntarily give up the advantages of education, and thus handicap his career. A simple but effective rule for life is: Make up your mind what you want, lay your plans carefully, then go out and get it. Make your own opportunities. Do not go out halt pre- pared, if you can help it. When the time comes to enter the work of the world, do not wait for something to turn up. Opportunity knocks at the door of the busy man and seldom bothers with an idler. You are all famiiiar with the quotation: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” There must be in every man’s or woman’s life one opportunity which is greater than any other, but no one goes through life with only a single opportunity. There are innumerable possibilities in the life of everyone, and they arc greater today than ever before. Unfortunately, there is no description of op- portunity which will enable sure recognition. I here is no end to the various disguises in which its identity may be concealed. Very of- ten the great opportunity of life comes dis- guised as a difficulty, or a genuine hardship. Only when the difficulty is tackled with courage and energy, does it throw off its disguise and make itself known as a chance to get ahead and win success in the game of life. A favorite form for opportunity is extra work. Probably more men of big success in the world have found their opportunities through taking on ex- tra work than in any other way; but their ex- ample does not. apparently, appeal to many young people of this age. Opportunities come many times through friends. I do not mean social acquaintances, but real triends for whom you have made some sac- rifices or given real service, and who in turn are anxious t« do something for you. It is the easiest thing in the world for a boy or girl start- ing to earn a livelihood to make a friend of the “boss” just above bin.. All business and indus- try is organized on a military basis. It is a long way from private to commander-in-chief and it is a long way from clerk to the general man- ager of a big business; and yet a private who has “made good” in the eyes of his corporal is on his way to promotion, and the clerk who has “made good” with his superior is also well started toward success. To pass the lunch hour with your associates criticising or complaining of what you are asked to do is the surest way to drive away opportunities of every kind. Perhaps we parents are more responsible than we think for the half-hearted manner in which young people enter the game of life, the (Continued on Page 57.) 56 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR S. H. S., ’84 and the Radiator William E. Brigham 'Washington Correspondent of the Boston Evening Transcript. DON'T recall when I have received such an emotional shock—a pleas- ant one. to be sure—as a few weeks ago when, picking up the faithful Somerville Journal. I read the story of a reunion of the grad- uating class of the Luther . Bell School. 1880. 1 came up from the Prescott School, not the Bell, nevertheless the Bell graduates of that year entered my class of ’84. S. II. S.. and to read a gam the names of the boys and girls of that dav. to realize that forty years had elapsed since 1 “studied” with them, and still to picture them in mv mind’s eye as they were in High School days — well, it rattled me for a moment. Nothing ever has occurred in the course of my life to change the feeling that the happiest years I ever have spent were as a student in the Somerville High School. Almost immediately on leaving school I en- tered professional journalism and I have re- mained almost uninterruptedly in the harness ever since. It was my adventure with the Somerville High School Radiator that started me on my long and very pleasant journalistic career. When I matriculated at S. H. S. in 1880. 1 was a little worried as t-� what career I should choose- -for boys of that ambitious age “choose” careers, they are not yet ready to take what comes along. It so happened, however, that i was destined to become the founder and first editor of the Radiator, and a beginning was thus made whose, end is not yet. 1 just went raving crazy over the idea of becoming a news- paper man. and there was no stopping me. Not only did I drive the editorial end of the Radia- tor for all it was worth, but 1 reported for the Somerville Journal (at $2 a week) and played nights in a dance orchestra, all at one and the same time. One of my regular assignments from the Journal. I remember, was to report the Sunday evening lectures of Rev. Charles A. Skinner—father of ()ti Skinner, the actor—pas- tor ol the Cross Street Cniversalist Church. What little literary talent 1 then thought I pos- sessed was stimulated by some of my teachers, perhaps as much by anyone as by Miss Annette K. Long—your fathers and mothers will tell you about her: and I often think of my school days and the chances to learn which lay open before me when I see Miss Long, still hale and hearty, although using a cane, strolling about the streets of Washington, always accompanied by a younger sister. She was a woman of strong Southern sympathies and used to shock us a little occasionally; but after living in a Southern and congressional atmosphere for a good many years I have discovered that there are two sides to a lot of questions. The Radiator I edited wasn’t much. It con- sisted of only eight pages; and when we ran the graduation number up to sixteen, in June. 1884. we thought we had done a big thing. Half- tones were then unknown, and I don't recollect that we published pictures of any kind. We de- veloped a sporting department, of course; we ran a “joke” column, some of it original; we burst into poetry at times and we even essayed fiction, once with disastrous results, as I mis- takenly permitted the use of real names, think- ing the subjects would he pleased. It was “Cape Cod bulks” all over again, although antedating the famous experience of Sally Pratt McLean bv several years. Indeed, the editorial staff of the Radiator of 1882-84 delivered themselves regu- larly of series of juvenile atrocities to most of which I now look hack with horror. But we had a line time. The teachers never helped us much. Mr. Baxter was friendly and kind, as he always i. . and Miss Clark. Mr. Hawes and Miss Long steered me occasionally, but the high school journal had not then become a recognized institution, with a powerful advertising value, and our experiment was allowed to go along as it might. The Radiator did succumb, a few months after our class graduated, but some years later it was picked up again and has been traveling under its own steam ever since. Se- wall M. Rich, now chief of the lire department, was a business manager of the Radiator at one time. William brands Eaton, now a veteran newspaperman and an expert on baseball, was its first editor under the renaissance, witcii T was editor of the Somerville Citizen. 'I'hc Somerville of forty years ago was little more than an overgrown town. Walking to school from mv home in Hast Somerville, i struck into a field on Pearl street just west of SOMKKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR C ross and came cross lots to about the corner of Gilman and Walnut streets, just below the railroad bridge. On the way was a pond, an abandoned clay pit. which furnished good fish- ing. for hornpouts. and we often halted about halt way and shook apples off an ancient tree. On the Hill the old Revolutionary breastworks not only traversed the field which is now High School Lark (I presume) but ran across High- land avenue. Much of West Somerville was then “Polly Swamp.” where we used to go on picnics. The public library was housed in a rear room of City Hall—a great try.sting place Sat- urday nights—and we used to buy lunches in a country grocery where the Masonic Building now stands in Gilman Square. The “new engine house,” one of the most pretentious buildings in the city, stood at the eastern end of the High School grounds; it stands there now, but it is 57 not an engine house. During my first year in the High School I continued carrying news- papers, my route extending from Charlestown Xeck to the engine house 1 have just mentioned. Mv employer. Prank Russ, used to bring the papers, chiefly Heralds, out on the front of a horse car ami we folded them by hand in the rear of Freeman's drug store. All were four- page papers, and we Used to kick when on Sat- urday the Herald, in winter, ran a single extra sheet as a supplement and we had to fold it in. I was paid originally SI a week for carrying my route but later got in the high-priced class, $1.25.

It is not an easy game. If it were, it would not be worth while. Parents recall the difficulties and discouragements which they have surmounted and too often de- sire to shield their children from the weary grind through which they went themselves. Yet this regular accomplishment of daily duties, overcoming obstacles, persistently working at the difficult tasks, always with a deep personal interest in the success of the individual, firm or corporation for whom you are working, is the fertile soil in which opportunities grow abun- dantly. Never slight the small things. History and biography are filled with instances of where a great opportunity followed the satisfactory completion of a small task, the conscientious performance of what, to the unthinking, is monotonous labor not worthy of effort. In politics, opportunity comes almost always in the giving of service without hope of reward. It is a good plan for a young man or woman to determine always to give a part ot his or her time to the service of the public. 1 his is easily done through joining civic organizations and volunteering to assist in public movements. A nerson willing to do something for nothing al- ways stands out a little from his fellow citizens. Attention is drawn to him. Soon he will be asked to serve on various committees, and if he continues to serve acceptably, he will be rec- cognized by the people for higher honors. None of the members of the political city committees nor of the Board of Aldermen, nor of the School Committee, is paid. This necessary work for the public is done by men and women whose in- terest in the community is sufficient to make up for the time and effort required. Politics is not an interest which any one should take up for the financial return, but it does afford many op- portunities for helpful service and honor. Most of all do opportunities bubble and boil around the person well prepared for service, who has faith in himself, and takes pleasure in his work. 1 here is no limit to the height he can scale. hat has been is as nothing com- pared with what is yet to be done. The won- ders of our generation will be a : lonplace to the next. C ivilizaf.on is advanced by the irre- sistible force of thinking and working men and women. It is useless to attempt to prophesy what tile next decade or century may bring forth, but I am confident that science will bring greater wonders from her store, that business will continue to develop and enlarge, that new ideas for the permanent benefit of humanity will spring into being, and that these will re- quire all that the mind and heart and hand of man can do. 1 hope and believe that the boys and girls of the Somerville High School will play important parts hi these mighty works to come, for I am sure they will have only themselves to blame if they do not find the opportunities. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Christmas Reunion Richaid Joseph Walsh, 1923 11K train thundered on through the blizzard, carrying a throng of homeward bound passengers, who were, almost without exception, in the best of spirits, laughing and joking with one another and mak- ing the time pass pleasantly until they should reach their destinations. V hv shouldn’t they be merrv? It was Christmas Kve. when all are supposed to be filled with jov. at that greatest time of the year. This train load of passengers was no exception to that rule, for all. or I should sav. almost all. were anticipating a happy re- union with their friends and families at the end of the journey, and meanwhile were passing the time away in the happiest manner imaginable. The exception to this merrymaking was hud- dled. alone, in a corner of the coach. It was a young man. dressed in the faded uniform of an A. K. F. veteran, with the coveted overseas chevrons on his sleeve denoting many months’ service abroad: these, however, were not the onlv adornments of his worn khaki coat, for there were numerous other chevrons, telling to the eyes of the initiate the sad story, which, perhaps, to others, had been told by his pale face and emaciated figure; he had been wounded many times. Sitting there, staring despondently out of the window, he was the picture of des- olation. Some few had ventured to approach him. but were repelled by the listless, uncom- panionable manner in which he met their ad- vances. This young soldier had enlisted when the United States entered the war. willing to do his part to help Make the World Safe for Democ- racy.” 'I'he time came when the last farewells were said: he remembered the face of Jimmie, his only brother and “pal.” as he stepped aboard the train. Fourtcen-year-old Jimmie had one hero, and only one; that was his brother whom he almost worshiped, and I'm sure, mightily envied, as that brother was whisked away from his yearning eyes when the train drew away from the little country station. The returning soldier thought also of his aunt and uncle, with whom Ik- and Jimmie had lived since their par- ents had both been killed in a railway accident, but hi thoughts ever reverted to that youth- ful. loving face of his brother. Then his thoughts wandered to what had happened since that parting and he was lost in reverie. Life in France had been much the same to him as to the thousands of other Americans serv- ing there; long, dreary, exciting and uncomfor- table periods of trench life in those flooded, muddy, rat-infested ditches of misery. With the others, he. too. had times of resting at bil- lets.—usually building roads or doing K. P. Our soldier had found the life endurable, for after receiving Jimmie’s cheerful, ungramma- tical letters and his aunt’s more practical ones, he felt himself able to “carry on” faithfully until he should once more see the “home folks.” Then had come misfortune, in the guise of a letter from his aunt. The dreadful message stili burned before his mind’s eye: “Jimmie is dying; the doctors say that he cannot last the night through.” followed by an account of how the boy had been stricken with the dread influ- enza. In very shaky writing the kind-hearted aunt had added many words of condolence, and others of encouragement, which latter were given the lie by the numerous tear stains cover- ing the paper, showing that she. herself, had no hope. The lonesome soldier, however, remem- bered only those words of disaster. At first he had hoped, desperately hoped, clinging to that hope like a drowning man to a straw, that Jimmie had recovered, but when no more let- ters arrived he decided that the expected had happened, and his aunt forebore mentioning the subject again for fear of increasing his misery. I hen did this American boy give himself up to sorrow, and from that day forth, grief stricken and caring no more for life, he had courted death in innumerable ways. Whenever there was a raid to be made, a scouting expe- dition. or any of those dangerous tasks of trench life to be performed, the first to volun- teer was he. In spite of all these dangers, how- ever. he remained so long immune from wounds that, together with his reckless courage, his long, hazardous service without obtaining a wound became one of the chief topics discussed in the dugouts and billets. Hut. as the proverb runs, “the longest lane has a turning.” and so it was with this soldier. On one expedition, while adding another palm to his ( roix de Guerre.” by destroying, with a handful of comrades, a German “piif box” which had been annoying his sector, a German bullet, in fact, many German bullets found him. and it seemed to the stretcher bearers as thev ten- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 derly bore his limp body to the rear as if, at last, that adventurous life were done. Arrived at the First Aid post, he was immediately sent back to the big base hospital at ---------, for it was decided by the grave, overworked doc- tors that this young soldier, so seriously wounded, could never fight again. There, after months of contention with the grim spectre. Death, he at last made a recovery which seemed almost miraculous to the attending doctors. Then, after a long convalescence in Laris, had come the embarkation for home, usually so welcome to the war-worn, homesick soldiers, but only representing another period of bitter- ness to this one. With the thoughtlessness of youth, he had forgotten to write his aunt and uncie about his home-coming, not having heard from them since receiving that letter about his brother. Wrapped in the misery of his deso- late return,-—for what could it be, he thought, but desolate, with no Jimmie to greet him,— he shared in none of the pleasant anticipations of his homeward-bound companions. At length New York was reached; thousands thronged the pier to give welcome to those re- turning heroes; thousands laughed and cried, were merry and were sad. as the ship bearing their Johnnies and Bobbies came slowly to dock. Many of the Johnnies were minus an arm, and many of the Bobbies would never walk again ; this accounted for the tears inter- mingled with the laughter. Thought our soldier, bitterly: “What good is all their cheering to me when — when Jimmie’s not here?” A mist spread over his eyes and he went below, disheartened. A short while after, he once more set foot oil the soil of the country for which he had fought so well, and proceeded to the train in which he was now being borne home. His reverie was abruptly ended by the grind- ing of brakes and the hiss of escaping steam, as the train came to a stop. “Well.” lie muttered, gathering up his few belongings preparatory to leaving the car. “here I am. i wonder if anyone’s here for me?” “No.” answering his own question. “of course there’ll be no one waiting. I didn’t tell anyone that 1 was coming home.” Having alighted from the train, he strode past the station, seeing inside the same flock of loafers who had gathered there before he had left the town. The town itself seemed to be the same, although in the blizzard little could be seen of it. and few people were on the streets. As he set out on the road leading to his uncle’s house, two miles distant, and bearing til one band a heavy valise, the snow continued to steadily fall, with the wind just as steadily ris- ing until the blizzard raged at a terrific rate. “That wound must have weakened me more’n I thought,” said the young man to a sympathetic tree, beside which he had stopped to rest and shelter himself for the moment from the icy blast. Any way. this storm isn’t ex- actly an aid to traveling. Wish I’d stayed in the village for the night. Will, this won’t get us anywhere, let’s go.” At this point in the con- versation he picked up the valise, which had been lying on the ground, and once more started out against the storm, which by this time had reached its full fury. 1 le no longer strode, but took shorter and slower steps, as his energy, weakened by the wound and the storm, slowly ebbed from him. lie met no one, and began to talk to himself, at first simply for amusement, but later, as he grew weary, the monologue, gasped from his cold lips, took the form of delirium. Though bitterly cold at first, a pleasant sensation began to creep over him. How warm I’m getting.” he murmured, “this blizzard’s not so bad after all.” Suddenly with a momentary return to ra- tional thinking, he realized that the pleasant warmth and drowsiness was a forerunner of that easy death which overtakes so many woodsmen, lb shook himself free from its grasp and strode on more briskly, for a time. Again the warm drowsiness approached: this time his resistance was less strong. “ fter all,” he thought, “what does it matter?” In this way he slowly pushed forward, many times staggering, until at last he sank down, ex- hausted. Oblivion opened its arms to him : he slowly started to sink into their comfortable. —and deadly—embrace when.-----------“Is that a bell?-----no. 1 suppose I’m out of my head.— ----who’d l)e out here in this storm?---------- Jim!” great cry burst from his lips: “Is it you—no, no. it cannot be. you’re dead!’’ With this exclamation on his lips, he sank back into the arms of a snow covered figure which had appeared from the direction from which the sound of the bells had come. The figure wa. that of a boy. about sixteen years of age, clad to withstand the harshness of the storm. From his wholesome face looked a pair of frank blue eyes, engaged at that mo- ment in almost devouring the face of the other. An incredulous expression was on the boy’s countenance: could it be possible that this was really his brother? Yes. it was unmistakably Frank, looking thinner and paler than when he’d seen him last, but nevertheless, his brother. As Jimmie Stone.—for the soldier had not (Continued on Page 70.)

Few of the “old could remember when Tom had not the mails, bringing something to every outlying cabin even if it was merely a cheerful smile and the latest news, lie never skipped any of these lonely outposts, for he knew with what eagerness they awaited him. Old Tom must have been at least seventy, but his frame was still unbent and unbroken and his eyes still glanced keenly from his kindly, weather-beaten face. If there were any who thought some younger man should take his place, none dared voice it. for Tom’s list was ever ready to defend his Heaven-sent right to carry the mails. And since he regarded the mails as Heaven-sent so also was it his religion to keep them inviolate, to the death if need be. 'This in the face of the fact that they never contained anything more valuable than some dozen week-old newspapers, a few letters and generally a catalogue or two of some enterprising mail-order house. “Merry Christmas! I say! Have all for- gotten what day this is?” The sleepv-eyed clerk ot the Hudson Bay Company’s store, in which the postoflicc was situated, yawned, and then said: “Well, you might at least wait until the sun comes up before veiling your head oft. How do v u know it’s a Merry Christmas? You don’t, and it aint. I’m frozen stiff and I wish I’d never come to this God-forsaken hole. A fellow freezes all winter and then wishes he could freeze all summer, the sheets and flies are so fierce. Aw, what a life!” “Come. come. Joe. cheer up.” laughed Tom. “after forty years or so von can retire on a pen- sion and live in Cuba or some other of those tropics. But. that makes me think, you’re not the only one that needs Christmas cheer, you and the boys here,” turning to a group of men around and over Ole Peterson, lives huddled “Know Creek?” “Yep! a red-hot stove, up by Big Beaver I know him,” interrupted Joe. “he owes us forty dollars. e got about as much chance of collecting as I have of ever interview- ing St. Peter.” “Well.” Tom went on. not heeding Joe’s re- marks. “he’s in bed with a broken leg. and his eight kids are getting thinner every time they look at their last half-bushel of potatoes. There’s four or five other kids on my route that won't get much from Santa unless some of us help him out by forming a Santa Claus Club. What sav. boys, shall we make some twelve youngsters happy this Christmas and tide Ole over his trouble?” “And.” as an after-thought, “any man that doesn’t chip in is no friend of mine.” In the North one cannot afford to be ungen- erous. for who can tell when you. yourself, may need assistance? So. after a short pause. Joe muttered: “I suppose I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb — so I’ll contribute a coupia bushels of spuds. Mebbc Ole will get well soon enough to pay that forty dollars if I do.” Several of the men had slipped away but they soon returned bearing little hand- made toys such as the men of the North make when beleaguered indoors by the snow and cold. The men farther from their homes gave money or its equivalent in the North—food. At the behest of Tom. Joe turned the store upside down, and at length exhumed several ancient but serviceable jack knives, a few boxes of rai- sins. three pairs of bright red mittens and a dozen warm knitted scarfs. The crowning glory of these gifts was an orange for each of the little ones. How these oranges came to be in this far northern post would be a story in it- self. but it should be sufficient to say that a sleepy shipping clerk, two different waybills and a shipment of tallow candles went to some point south. The money given by the men purchased enough supplies to keep the ten hungry ones at Big Beaver Creek for a month. The men en- tered eagerly into the plan and even Joe hustled around making suggestions which no one heeded. They loaded Tom’s sled with his Christmas pack and the mail consisting of the usual assortment of trash and a few boxes for those who were lucky enough to have friends SOMERVILLE HIC,li SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 or relatives “down South.” all the while making humorous comments on the new Santa. Tom was about to sing out the “mush along” of the great North when a shout from Joe de- tained him. The cause was a large roll of tin- sel, tarnished, but undeniably tinsel, that some inventive factor had ordered for trade with the Indians. “There now, that’s just what was needed to give those kids as good a Christmas as any one could want. They shall have a tree if I have to stop at every house and teach them what it is and means. I’ll prob’ly stop at Ole’s and cut one for them. Well, so long, boys! Mush along you. Pete, are you glued? You’re the ornyest team of dogs i ever set eyes on. I’ve a good mind to swap you oil.” Now, next to tiie mail, Tom loved his dogs and the super- stitious “breeds” and Indians verily believed he cou'd speak their language, for the way the half-wild malamutes obeyed his commands was truly marvelous. As Tom trotted along behind his splendid team he rehearsed over and over again each detail of his campaign from the time he drew up before a cabin till Iiq left to pass on to the next. “Santa has nothing on me.” he Soliloquized, “although he does use reindeer and I use dogs. I’d match this team against his any day.” if ever the settlers on Tom’s route had cause to complain it was this day, for the homes that were so unlucky as to have no children received scant attention, but when he told the reason they forgave him and his “pack” grew at nearly every house. To reach every child before night was his task and it was a task to test the endur- ance of any man. A tenderfoot would have said it would be im- possible to have a more perfect day. 1 he sun shone brightly and the keen air was bracing. The hard-packed snow of mid-winter gave excellent footing for man and dogs. Yet—. Tom, with that sixth sense born f a life-long battle with the cold, cast many foreboding glances towards the low flying clouds barely visible on the hor- izon. and mentally thanked God that he had enough supplies to carry the Petersons through v blizzard. Looking up, he perceived the Petersons’ cabin and in a few moments he was besieged by a clamoring crowd of children ranging from thirteen to two. “Hi there, Dolph. crawl off my feet.” this to a five-year-old. “How ’m l goin to carry all these things from Santa in with you big huskies on me?” A tired looking woman had by this time appeared at the door. “Merry Christmas! Mrs. Peterson, and how’s that big lump of a husband of yours?” Mrs. Peterson smiled faintly and said: “He bane not so bad in the leeg, but the stomach pain hcem awful.” “Well, well.” said Tom as he unpacked the provisions and presents. “I’m the doctor as can perscribe for that. Here, take these.” and he dumped the supplies on the table. The woman could hardly believe her eyes and her frantic attempts to thank Tom so unmoved and embar- rassed him that he forgot his carefully rehearsed speeches and escaped, after speaking a moment with Ole. to cut the children a Christmas tree. lie soon found a suitable fir and. surrounded by a ring of gaping children and under fire from seven curious mouths, chopped it down with swift, sure strokes. Taking it by the butt and with all seven kids “helping.” it soon arrived in front of the cabin. Here Good Fortune looked away for a moment and Hard Luck played his trick. The eighth Pe- terson kid was a boy of four. This little imp had been playing with the dogs, chiefly Peter the Great, the leader. Peter or Pete had sub- mitted patiently to the ruffling of his fur and various other torments, but when his tail was pulled and twisted he revolted. Not wishing to hurt the boy he ran or rather leaped away from him. Now it happened that 'Tom had unhitched the other dogs but left Peter still in his harness. Tom. standing by the sled, was caught off his guard by the jerk of the guide rope and crashed down onto the sled. His left arm. instinctively flung out to save his head, hung limp when he finally got to his feet. Hut the tree was up and he told the children the old, old story of the first Christmas while Mrs. Peterson was adminis- tering the rude surgery of the frontier. Ole, Mrs. Peterson and the eight little Petersons united in attempting to persuade him to remain with them, but he mushed along with his load much lighter but his task much heavier. 'The wind had sprung up and the storm clouds loomed ominously. Luckily the other cabins having children were all close together and he knew willing hands would carry his gifts from one to the other. He sped on. pausing only at a cabin to cry “Merry Christmas” and leave the mail. The pain in his arm was quickening as the hurt grew older. A few snowflakes floated down. At each halt he was earnestly urged to stop, but his only answer was a shake of the head. A blizzard, a broken arm. and ten miles to go.

I SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Medford 7, Somerville 0 Somerville was defeated by Medford, with a score of 7 to 0. Somerville played much better football than Medford and was able to march up and down the field at will, but lost several chances to score by being: unable to gain a few inches at the critical moment. Simpson and Mainland ran for big: gains through the Medford line. In the first period Somerville received the ball and marched down the field on line plunges, un- til within ten yards of the Medford goal, where the ball was lost through the inability of Somer- ville to make first down by a few inches. In the second period Medford blocked a kick by Simpson, and recovered it on Somerville’s eight-yard line. It took Medford three plays to put the ball over the line. In the third and fourth periods both teams bat- tled up and down the field, neither coming within scoring distance. Waltham 13, Somerville 7 Somerville received a defeat at the hands of Waltham at the Recreation Field. Somerville. Waltham did all their scoring in the first half, being unable to get within striking distance of the Somerville goal in the third and fourth periods. Somerville scored early in the third period. Simpson played his usual game. Gilkey broke through the altham line at will, throw- ing them for losses. Coyne and Buckley played a fine forward-passing game, ballon and Gateh were the shining lights for altham. Karly in the first period Fallon made a fifty- five-yard run for a touchdown. In the second period W altham scored their touchdown after a steady march down the field. In the second half Waltham was on the defen- sive. Somerville scored early in the third period and canu very near doing so again in the fourth period, but lost the chance by only an inch. Rindge 6, Somerville 0. Somerville closed its football season with a defeat at the hands of Rindge. at Recreation Field. Somerville. 'I he snow and rain made footing uncertain and spelled defeat for Somerville. Simpson and Mar- yland played their usual game, while the tackling ol Gilkey. Kelleher and Lynch was deadly. Donovan played well for Rindge. In the first period neither team seemed able to gain ground consistently and punted out of danger. Somerville succeeded in reaching Kindgc’s ten-yard line, but lost the ball on a fumble. In the second quarter Somerville began to march down the field. Simpson. Buckley and Chase tearing off big gains, placing the ball on the five-yard line, where the Red and Blue were unabie to make first down by a few inches. In the third period Somerville fumbled on their twontv-yard line. Merc Somerville received a penalty, giving Rindge first down, and Donovan, through a spectacular end run. made a touch- down but failed to kick the goal. In the fourth period Somerville tried several forward passes with success, but lost the ball on fumbles. The summary:— RINDGE. SOMERVILLE. Corkery. Walsh, r.e.............l.e., Kelleher Forrest.

That being done, he took the reins and drove at a gallop towards the nearest house, which happened to be that of his friend, Louis Trent, and his widowed mother. The house was not far away, and Jimmie was soon hammering on the door. His clamor brought immediate results, for the door was quickly opened and before him stood Louis Trent. “Hello. Jim. then seeing the excited face of his friend, “what’s the matter?” Jimmie briefly described the discovery of his brother, then together they brought Frank into the house. While Louis telephoned for a doc- tor (luckily one lived nearby), Mrs. Trent made ready a room for Frank Stone, and Jimmie chafed his brother’s hands and face with snow. Then the doctor arrived, and soon the patient was installed in bed. comfortably sleeping. The doctor assured them, as he was leaving, that with proper care Frank would soon recover from the effects of the exposure. 1 his care was sure to be given, as Mrs. Trent was doing all in her power to make the soldier comfortable, and his aunt and uncle were already on the way to the Trents’, summoned by the handy telephone. W hen Prank Stone opened his eyes on Christ- mas morning, the first thing they saw was Jim- mie’s face as the boy sat by the bedside. This time he believed his eyes; the face was older, perhaps, but otherwise the same, bearing that loving, yearning look that it had borne at their parting. Then Jimmie noticed that his brother had wakened,---- Later in the day. when they had become used to the sight of one another once more, there came explanations. These were very simple. Shortly after that tragic letter had been dis- patched. Jimmie took a turn for the better, and eventuallv he recovered.

Though in different companies, we of- ten met in billets, and became quite friendly. Poor Jack had a queer superstition. He be- lieved that if we exchanged identification disks it would insure the safety of us both. So. be- fore one of the great drives, just to please him. 1 agreed to the exchange. He marched away into the trenches the same night.—I never saw or heard of him again.” The little family was silent for a short time, then the conversation turned into other chan- nels. Late that afternoon the boy’s uncle hitched up the horse, and the happily united group left the hospitality of the 'fronts’ to go to the “Red House,” as their home was called. Frank, cov- ered by heavy robes, sat on the back scat, flanked by Aunt Sarah and Jimmie, while Uncle “Charlie” acted as driver. They drove slowly away shouting: “Merry Christmas” to their late host and hostess. Let us leave them in their happiness, enjoy- ing the best Christmas of their lives as they vanish down the snow-covered road toward home, united once more. (Continued from Page 62.)

Shanks, Major General, U. S. A. HAVE been asked to write an arti- cle for publication in the Radiator to set forth what the Army has to oiler for young men who enlist in it today. Following the great World War there was a general reaction against military service and military training. This was inevitable because the re- straints imposed by military discipline had be- come irksome to young men after the stress of active military service was over. Gradually this reaction has been wearing away, and the number of enlistments in the Army has in- creased rapidly until in the month of November just past more than 24.000 men were enlisted for service in our Army, of whom more than 40 per cent, had had previous military service and hence were returning to the Army after pre- vious experience therein. There must be some adequate reason why our enlistments have been increasing so rapidly and this reason is to he found in large part in the recently installed vocational and educational training of the Army. For more than forty years I have served in our Armv and during the whole of that time 1 have felt that our one great need was something which would draw our Army and our people together. The Army comes from the people; it is main- tained bv the people. Nothing could be more unfortunate for us than to have a continuance of the feeling that the Regular Army is a class separate and apart from the great mass of our fellow citizens who are our kindred and our best friends. I am glad to say that at last I sec for our Army the dawn of a brighter and a better day. Less than two years ago Congress made its first appropriation of S2.000.000 for the vocational and educational training of our soldiers; for the current year that appropriation has been in- creased to .$3.500 000. In my opinion Congress never made a w ser or more beneficial appro- priation in the whole course of our military legislation. By means of these appropriations every sol- dier who now enlists has opportunity, besides his military training, to go to school or to take such training in business courses or in the agri- cultural or mechanic arts that when his enlist- ment period has expired he may go back to civil life better fitted for success than when he came into the Army. This opportunity has been open to our soldiers only one year, but during that first year 103.000 young soldiers availed them- selves of this fine opportunity. I do not doubt that numbei; will be increased during the cur- rent year. Formerly no recruit was received who could not read and write. The great World War showed the alarming percentage of illiteracy in our country. Nearly 25 per cent, of the Selec- tive Service registrants were practically illit- erate. Under legislation passed since the war wc now take any recruit of good character and physically fit and if he is illiterate wc teach him to read and write. '1 lie division which I commanded before I came to New England is now stationed at Camp Jackson, near Columbia. South Carolina. Last year at that camp, then commanded by Major General George Read, there were 230 illiterate recruits, six of whom were discharged on sur- geon’s certificates. All except three of the re- mainder were taught to read and write. nd let me tel! you. that when an� illiterate, green, gawky lad comes from one of those s nail villages and at the end of eight months you send him back in neat uniform, able to read the news to his friends and neighbors, he makes the best recruiting officer you could possibly have. The average strength of the permanent gar- rison at Camp Jackson last year .was about 2.400 men, and of that number about 1.700 young soldiers took one or another of the vocational or educational courses. Several hundred of them did so well in their vocational training that they received certificates of proficiency that will enable them on return to civil life much more readi’y to find suitable employment. At that (Continued on Page 85) 84 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR What the Navy Offers for Young Men H. O. Dunn, Rear Admiral, U. S. N. these ships will have the government support without which they cannot live, is assured by no less an authority than the President-elect of the United States, who has consistently advocated government support of American ships which can carry American products to any port in the world so that American exporters will not in the future have to rely upon foreign agents to sell their goods and foreign ships to carry them. With American ships and maritime interests so much on the increase, no ambitious young man who is looking around to decide what he is going to do can afford to turn his back on the sea. HERE are things about a life at sea which have always appealed to young men who are not afraid of a little hard weather and hard work. In the days just before the Civil War. when the United States Merchant Marine was second to that of no other nation, when they used to sing “She’s a Home- ward Round Yankee; Good Lord, See Her Go!” and when the Yankee clippers could “go.” when the ships of other countries were seeking shel- ter. this appeal was particularly strong to the young men of New England. It was largely U. S S. OKLAHOMA. the ships hailing from New England ports, of- ficered and manned by New England men, that carried the American flag into every port of the world. Since those palmy days of America at sea. American ships have fallen in numbers for rea- sons which there is not space here to cover. In the past four or five years, however, there has come an � thrr opportunity for American ships to take a large part in the commerce of the world and the number of American ships in foreign trade has grown by leaps and bounds. That If a young man wants to have a try at a life at sea, there is no better way for him to do so than by getting his introduction to Father Nep- tune through the Navy. If he joins the Navy and keeps his eyes open, he will learn a great deal. Me will gain the knowledge of ships, their machinery and appliances, which is abso- lutelv necessary for a life at sea. He will see foreign ports and other ports of this country, and. by observation, will gain that education which only travel can give. A great many of 85 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the officers of the present American Merchant Marine got their first sea experience in the Navy. Let’s look a little further to sec what the op- portunities would be for a young man who de- cides to join the Navy. The day he is sworn into the Navy he will be given a complete out- fit of clothes and, from then on. his board, lodg- ing and medical attention will be supplied free —so he will be absolutely self-supporting from that time. He would probably join for two years, which is the least that a man can join for. During these two years the only expense, he must incur is that of buying clothes (af- ter his first outfit is given him), and he should be able to save about $700. This $700 may not seem like very much as the sav- ings for two years’ work, but there arc WHAT THE ARMY OFFERS TO YOUNG MEN (Continued from Page 83) same camp arrangements were made so that twenty-two ambitious young men were able without cost to themselves to take afternoon courses at the University of South Carolina at Columbia. The news of these fine opportunities afforded by the Army has gone out to the country. What is the effect? During the past four months. July to October inclusive, some 70.000 recruits have enlisted—far more than ever before in any similar period in time of peace. Three-fourths of these recruits gave as reasons for enlistment that they wished to get the benefit-of the educa- tional and vocational courses now afforded all soldiers. The news is just spreading. As one might suppose, the greater interest in New Eng- land is in automotive or mechanical training; but included in our New England school, con- tingent are fourteen young soldiers at Camp Devens who arc taking preparatory courses for admission to West Point. For generations past and even yet we have had to conduct a strenuous campaign to obtain recruits for our Army. I do not claim to be a prophet, but 1 believe that the time is not far distant when we shall no longer have to hunt for recruits, but when nearly every recruiting office will have a waiting list. We have never been a military people, and Americans as a rule take small interest in mili- tary affairs except when the stress of war is ac- tually upon us. Rut Americans have ever been justly credited with knowing a good thing when they sec it. and I ask you, where else in all of this broad land is there a school, a college or a very few men two years out of high school who, after paying their board and lodging, and other expenses, will have that much saved. During his two years in the Navy this young man will have had an opportunity to see what a life at sea is like, and to learn about ships and the many sorts of machinery which they con- tain. This knowledge and the physical and mental training which he has gotten in the Navy will stand him in good stead. W hen he leaves the Navy he should obtain an honorable dis- charge which will help him get a position either ashore r. if he decides to follow the sea. in the new American merchant ships. In the preceding paragraph 1 have assumed that this young man will leave the Navy after (Continued on Page 87) university that is able to furnish food, clothing, lodging and medical attendance to its pupils and at the same time pa; them not less than thirty dollars per month? Do you wonder that all re- cruiting records are being broken? General Clarence R. Edwards, who was form- erly in command of the Northeastern Depart- ment. has recently been serving at Camp Dix, N. J. At this camp there is established what is known as a recruit educational centre to which all illiterate recruits in the eastern section of our country are sent. A day or two ago I lis- tened with the greatest interest while General Edwards described to me the marvelous results that were being accomplished in this recruit in - struction. Young men who could neither read nor write nor even speak the English language were taken into the camp and placed under the instruction of alert young officers, many of them West Point graduates. The recruits were taught to drill and were given calisthenics. In all drills and exercises they were taught to give the necessary commands in unison. In this way they not only learned the language, but their in- terest and enthusiasm were aroused to a degree impossible in any other method. General Edwards says that the transforma- tion that takes place from a foreign-born illit- erate recruit in six months is marvelous to be- hold. The ground work has been laid for good citizenship, the physical exercises develop men to a marked degree, and the young soldier is set on the road to thorough-going Americanism. I feel greatly encouraged over the showing that is being made because it is certain that the Army and the people are coming closer together, and that the people are learning what a tine oppor- tunity is afforded to the young man who now enters our Army. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 86 EDITORIALS Once again Father '.rime lias shaken his linger at us! One more year lias passed, never to re- turn. We have gone one step further in the way of Life, and our entrance into the world or busi- ness is one year nearer. Let us not think too lightly of this matter. What did we accomplish during 1920 that was worth while? How many things did we do that we may look back upon with pride thirty years hence? Let us consider the new year to be a vast field of golden opportunities for us to seize and de- velop; days that we are to make the most of and in which we are to try to do only those things worth while. Listen, folks! Why not obey the laws of the office in respect to the corridors? Should corri- dors look like a bargain counter at Woolworth's or a first night at the Auto Show, and sound like a stock exchange? Giggling girls and gos- siping boys seem to delight in promenading up and down, heading for nowhere in particular, yet effectually stalling all legitimate travel. Let us try to mend our ways a bit. If we must gossip, let us do it in our home rooms, and leave Broadway open for travel. The school is very glad to welcome Mrs. Top- liff back again after her long illness. The Radiator extends its deepest sympathy to Mr. Jaynes and to Mr. Obear in their recent bereavement, each having lost his mother. We are favored this month with an article from Rear Admiral H. O. Dunn. Commandant of the Charlestown Xavy Yard, and one bv Major General David C. Shanks, Commanding Officer of the First Corps Area. They are very- interesting and instructive articles and should be read by ever member of the school. The Radia- tor appreciates and is most grateful for the cour- tesy and interest shown by these busy men in complying with the editor’s request for articles. Watch for the next month's Radiator!! The series of articles by “big” men will be contin- ued. Many special features. Better than ever next month. Watch for the February Radiator and get yours early!! The Radiator appreciates the courtesy of the Xaval Recruiting Station in lending us interest- ing naval cuts. 'I’he Radiator staff extends its sympathy and best wishes to Ruth Rood, the Library Editor, in her illness. The Radiator Dance held Friday afternoon. January 14. was a complete success both socially and financially. The staff wishes to thank the school for its hearty cooperation. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 87 Wet and slippery traveling lias arrived again. Let us not. however, use this as an excuse for being late to school. Let us be business-like enough to make allowances for delays and pos- sible mishaps, and get to school on time as usual. With deep sorrow the Radiator notes the death of two prominent members of the S. H. S. alumni. Lieutenant Walter Raymond York of the Class of 1912, S. II. S.. and Dartmouth, 1916. died January 6. at Saranac Lake, X. Y. Mr. York was prominent in athletics both in high school and in college, and is remembered as an advo- cate of the “square deal” in sport and work alike. He left college to join the Norton-Harjes ambulance corps in France. Later he enlisted in the Naval Aviation Service, and joined the Lafayette Flying Corps in France. His record as an aviator is remarkable, with an official rec- ord of 1.000 flights, 122 of which were in the enemy's territory, yet he escaped injury. Af- ter the armistice, Mr. York returned to America and engaged in the lumber and pulp busi- ness with the Parker, Young Company at Lin- coln. X. H. Robert White Newton. S. II. S.. ’18. died January 6. after a long illness. After being graduated from high school he entered Tufts College, where he made the eta Psi frater- nity. In his sophomore year ill health com- pelled him to leave college, and since then his health had steadily declined. Mr. Newton is warmly remembered in the high school for his genial disposition and his honorable record in study and in all school ac- tivities. Deep sympathy is felt for his parents and for his brother. Carl E. Xcwton, .$. II. S., '16. now a Rhodes Scholarship student in Ox- ford. England. WHAT THE NAVY OFFERS FOR YOUNG MEN (Continued from Page 85) his two years in the country’s service. Let us sec now what he can do for himself by re-join- ing the Navy and staying in it for a longer period. Under the provisions of the Xavv Re- tirement Law a man who has served sixteen years in the Navy and reached the grade of chief petty officer, which can be reached by any intel- ligent. straightforward man. is able to retire to inactive duty in the Naval Reserve. From the date of his retirement until his death this man will receive retired pay at the rate of about $68.00 per month. Similarly, a man who has served twenty years can retire at about $95.00 per month, and one who has served thirty years can retire at about $112.00 per month. In return for this retired pay the Navy would ex- pect this young man to return to active duty in time of war. I do not give the exact figures here because the man’s pay may vary a few dollars per month either way. according to the rating he happens to hold. Now. let its sum up the financial.situation of an average young man who enters the Navy at the age of eighteen and serves for sixteen years. In the first place, during the time he is in the Xavv his board, lodging and medical attention will be furnished him. During his sixteen years' service this young man would receive an aver- age salary per year of about $1,250, in addition to his board and lodging. After his sixteen- years’ service he would retire at the age of thirty-four and from that time until his death he would receive a retired salary of about $68.00 per month. During his service in the Xavv he would have been able to obtain a working knowledge of any of the several trades which are continuously carried on in the Xavv, so that upon his retirement he would be able to obtain a good position either in American merchant shipping or ashore. If you will take the above figures and com- pare them with the figures compiled by life in- surance companies on the financial standing of the average man ashore, and if you will consider the Xavv man’s retired pay after he is thirty- four years old as the equivalent of the interest on the savings of the man ashore when lie is thirty-four. I think you will agree that the Xavy, m addition to offering a young man an attrac- tive. healthy life, makes him a very attractive financial offer. 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EXCHANGE NOTES In Our Opinion:— The Authentic, Stoneham High School.—An interesting paper, with an especially well writ- ten Exchange column.

Follansbee, the head of the De- partment of Stenography and Typewriting, has been forced by ill health to take a leave of ab- sence for the remainder of the school year. Miss Follansbee is an inspiration to each teacher and pupil with whom she comes in contact. She de- votes her entire time and energy to her work and to her pupils. Day in and day out she la- bors with them, both before and after school. When the schools were closed on account of coal shortage or epidemic disease, backward pupils went to her home each day for instruction and aid. Her class work is a correlation of business principles, courtesy, punctuality, English, as well as of stenography. She seems to hold in the hollow of her hand her entire department. There is alway a cheery “good morning” and a pleasant “good night” for each of her associates. She is never too busy to lend a helping hand or to give a kind suggestion to one in difficulty. The impress of her work is permanently graven on the Somer- ville High School. Faculty and students alike look forward to her return and wish her re- newed health and much happiness meantime. We would call to the attention of our readers the advertisement of the Harvard Bazar ap- pearing on page 91 of this issue. This is the only Cambridge advertiser in the Radiator.

Five months to graduation. S. H. S. has a real hockey team. How many experiments have you done in physics? A knowledge of parliamentary law would not hurt some of the members of the Senior Class. It is rumored that Gilkey is going to about six different colleges next year. It is rumored that Hcmeon is organizing a peace party to convince England that concilia- tion is the best policy in the question of Ire- land’s dispute. “Ronald.” said his mother in the street car, severely, “why don’t you get up and give your father vour seat; doesn’t it pain you to see him reaching for a strap?” “Not in a street car.” replied Roland, cheer- ily. “but it does at home, though.” A 1921 Year Hook would mean a great ex- pense and a still greater amount of work for some members of the class.

They have promised to serve you faithfully, and you may rest assured that they will do their best. But it must be remembered that the individual or combined efforts of your officers count for naught when the co-operation of the student body is lacking. Therefore, let it be the resolution of every member of the Class of 1923 to lend his unrestrained support and efforts to the ta k of putting the class on the map and of making it the best class ever.

Well, classmates and schoolmates, mid-year has passed again, and we have come through another half-year.—sonic creditably, some barely, and others,—many, I fear, quite unsuc- cessfully. Be that as it may. however, let every one of us strive to make the remaining half year worth while. Do you realize, Seniors, that in less than four months you will pass out of the Somerville High School, never to reenter it as a stu- dent? Can you realize that in such a short time you will reach that situation that you have looked forward to for so many long months,—graduation? Do you appreciate the fact that your boyhood and girlhood days will abruptly cease, and that you will then be called upon to shoulder the tasks and responsibilities of men and women? It is a serious matter. Seniors, and worthy of consideration. Are ycu prepared to wage a winning fight in the great battle that is some- times won. but more often lost? Think it over! The Radiator wishes a pleasant and restful vacation to all teachers and pupils. The Radiator is glad to welcome back its Library Kditur. Ruth Rood, after her long ill- ’Tnspiration.” said Theodore Roosevelt, “is nine-tenths perspiration.” It is not a far-away vision which, according to popular belief, can be attained only by hopeful waiting. It is a per- sona! intimate thing, whose beginning is sought by an eager, curious mind, and whose develop- ment is shaped by a sincere, earnest effort. Artists, sculptors, architects, writers and in- ventors are said to have inspiration,—yes, and carpenters and plumbers also! Inspiration, the dictionary tells us. is the creative influence of genius. A hope or a mere wish may be an in- spiration. The inspired artist or sculptor models his inspirations for the world to see. The car- penter joins two boards, visualizes, perhaps, a house, is inspired, and sets his complete work, a house, before the world. Inspiration is not uncommon. It touches hundreds and thousands of people, but alas, they do not recognize it as inspiration. They are looking up to the heavens for some marvelous masterpiece to descend with their name affixed, as the maker. They will say. when this great work comes, that it is a product of inspiration. But it will never come. Just here comes the “perspiration” part of inspiration. Every singer, every artist, every writer has worked tirelessly for his results. The success of any great masterpiece has been attained only by constant effort on the part of the maker. Thus finally, we must search carefully for in- spiration. recognize it. and work earnestly and painstakingly for its fulfillment. Inspiration, when we find it. must mean work, which in turn will finally mean success. ness. 108 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Radiator extends its sympathy to Miss Low. who had the misfortune to fall and break her ankle two weeks ago. As has been the custom for many years up to recently, the March Radiator will be an Alumni Number. It will be devoted as far as possible to material contributed by Alumni, and to notes concerning and of interest to them. The Editor wishes that the whole school would assist in the preparation of this issue. An Alumni Col- umn of at least three pages is desired, and as much more as can be obtained. If every stu- dent would pass in to the Alumni Editors or to any other member of the Staff, notes of all the graduates of the S. II. S. that he or she knows, this mark would easily be attained and the March issue would truly be an Alumni Number. It is but a few days now to the inauguration of our new President. Warren G. Harding, and Vice-President, Calvin Coolidge. Would we all could journey to Washington to do them honor! It is altogether within our power, though, to help them in their stupendous tasks by living as true Americans ought to live, by acting as true Americans ought to act. and by working as all true Americans must work! A former student of Somerville High School, having been asked to address a group of young people, chose for his subject “The Positive At- titude.” There is. 1 think, no more suitable watchword for the young people of today. Use the positive attitude! Take the “Yes, I’ll do it” stand, not the “No. I can not.” Too often we say “No!”; too seldom “Yes!” There are projects and undertakings in our every-day life to which we could give aid. Let us go willingly to these, and lend a helping hand, and do the best for them we are able. Let us not hesitate. We are young, capable, and strong. We can do anything, if we truly want to try—if we have the positive attitude! The world of today has adopted the positive attitude. Men and women are trying, as they never tried before, to educate themselves and to accomplish seemingly impossible things. Let it not be said of us, a body of modern boys and giris, that we cannot keep step with the world and that our vision is impaired by our youth. Let us go forward with a determiped “Yes. I’ll do it !” Determination, after all. is two-thirds realization. Students, .remember— The Positive Attitude! :• Important Announcement To all Teachers and Pupils:— The Radiator staff is planning to publish its June issue in the form of a school year book called “The Radiator Year Book.” it will be composed of about 100 pages of the same size as tlie present Radiator, will be printed on the same quality of paper, with a heavy cover, and will contain the following:— The pictures of all class officers. Full page pictures of athletic teams. debating teams, orchestra. Student Council. Histories of all classes. Calendar of the school year. Individual pictures of seniors,—each senior paying for his own picture. Directory of the entire school. And all the regular departments of the Radi- ator. '1'he Radiator Staff realizes that it is a big undertaking to publish such a volume, and in order that the best results may be obtained, as- sociate members of the Staff will be selected from each class in the following manner:— A committee of three members will be elected by popular vote from each class. This commit- tee will be part of the Radiator Year Book Staff, and will be assigned duties accordingly. The price of this number will be definitely established later. Watch next month’s Radia- tor for further announcements. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 109 Blind John A. Holmes, 1923 ALTER SANDERS, sixteen years old and full of noisy, healthy hoy spirits, breezed into the deep, quiet library of his friend and threw his books into a corner with a shout. “Well, Rod, old boy, how is everything?” Rodney Scott raised Ins head from a book and peered in a strained man- ner at the newcomer. “All right. Walter,” he answered quietly. Walter crossed the room, chattering all the while of life at school and outside, and arrived at Rodney’s side with the abrupt question: “Why don’t you get out and mix with the fellows at school more and go to some football games and dances? You are al- ways staying home from school and I think you live in this old library.” Rodney had not moved from his big leather arm chair and he answered with a note in his voice that arrested the attention of the boisterous, talkative boy seated carelessly on the edge of the table. “To tell the truth, Walt, mv eyes are getting bad. I can’t see very well and I don’t want to wear glasses. I hate them.” “Oh, nonsense!” exclaimed Walter. “You’re as good as anyone else. Wake up and live; don’t sit in here all your life.” Rodney did not answer immediately and after a few moments his friend went out as noisily and happily as he had come in. He did not realize then what it cost Rod to even admit that his eyes were bad. but Rod knew. He knew that day by day. hour by hour, a gray film was slowly but surely dropping over his eyes, shutting him out from the world of books and pictures and the outdoor things he loved and. into a terrible world of blackness. He had always said that he could stand being crippled in any way except to become blind. And that was what he would surely be in a few short weeks — a helpless, sightless thing led around by careful hands. The thought nearly drove him wild. “What shall I do? What shall I do?” he cried to himself in a torment of bewilderment and fear. Then he took a grip on his scattering nerves and set himself to form some plan. He made his way across the darkening library. stumbling pathetically against the once familiar chairs and out into the dazzling brilliance of the electrics in the liv- ing room. He sat down carefully on the arm of his father’s chair and told him everything that he had held back for so long. His father’s shocked and grieved words surprised him. The next day an eve specialist examined him. talked for a long time with his father and went away leaving only some useless-looking medi- cine. In another month the pall of darkness had shut down and poor Rodney was separated as though by a chasm from all his friends, to whom he seemed to grope mentally as well as physically. For a time he lost all hope and gave up all efforts to control himself. For a few weeks he lived through a terrible mental torment and then se nied to realize that it was useless to wail against fate. His friends had left him to himself, unconsciously being more cruel than they could realize. Some of them even whis- pered among themselves that Rodney Scott was not acting like a man under his misfor- tune. In some way wind of this came to Rod’s ears and he spent a long morning thinking it over. From that day he changed. From a gloomy, stricken boy he gradually became the most cheerful and optimistic of beings. The house rang with the shouts and laughter of his numerous friends, who were in constant at- tendance upon him. The boys and girls of his class at school came to look up to him as an example of bravery and cheer. However, he was not always happy, for one day Walter, coming quietly to the library door, saw him with his blind head bowed on the table, his body shaking with great sobs. He crossed to his side and tried to comfort him. but Rod refused to listen. “What good am 1 ?” he cried. “A weak, blind, helpless baby, led around by everyone, when I should be out in the world doing a man’s work.” Walter protested and told him what his name stood for in the big school and how he did as good work by setting his example of conduct as he could in anv other way. The boy’s body became quiet and then he slowly raised his head. “I’m sorry, Walter, I won’t break like that again, but oh. if there was only something to live for, to look forward to!” Concluded on Page 122 no ■SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Astronomical Observatory Ronald Macdonald, 1921 : astronomical observatory is that building' or buildings which con- tain the apparatus necessary for the observation and records of ob- servations of heavenly bodies. There are two kinds of observa- tories. 'Phe first contains instruments for the establishment of some theory and the observa- tions necessary for its solution. This is known as the research observatory or just observatory. The other i one which contains such informa- tion and apparatus required to instruct naviga- tors or astronomers. This is known as the lab- oratory. The observatories work on the same basis and hardly anv difference exists between them other than that the laboratory drops the matter on which they work after the students arc through with it. while the observatory (re- search) records and tiles their observations for all future use. The latter is obviously of impor- tance since present-day astronomers are handi- capped by lack of material which should have been recorded many years before the invention of the telescope. I he observatory may be divided into three parts. The first is that of visual observation. The second, that of photographic observation, and the third, that part where the results of both the others arc examined and recorded and published. The director of the observatory, by constant communication with all other observatories, makes his own assignments and gives, daily, to each of the observing departments the work to be done by each. There are as many men at work as there are instruments to work with, and as the instruments always vary in size or power, each has its particular work. In the photographic department two men are suffi- cient to take care of ten photographic tele- scopes. In the third department a corps of women are employed, who examine the plates and determine the magnitude, variation, proper motion, or whatever is desired of the object photographed. These women employ micro- scopes and with their observations they are as far advanced as the recorded observations of the visual observers. The visual telescope has its disadvantages in- asmuch as the observers are usuallv in an un- comfortable position and the atmosphere has erroneous effects on their observations. The women, however, have the advantage as they are comfortably situated, work in daylight, and the plates on which they work are more nearly perfect, as “the camera never lies.” The visual telescope is not much different from one-half an opera glass. It is mounted, however, so as to follow the stars around the sky. This is accomplished bv a mounting par- allel to the axis of the earth and a clockwork to turn the instrument at the correct speed. They vary in diameter, the largest being 101 inches and the smallest practical instrument be- ing about five inches. The observer has to ele- vate himself to the eyepiece and this is accom- plished by means of a chair-ladder, so called from its construction, being a ladder and the necessary supports with a chair, adjustable to all heights. The magnified image may be varied from one diameter to 3.000 diameters. The latter pow- ered instrument would bring the moon (distant 234.000 miles) to the distance of Worcester from Boston, and its light would burn out the eye of an observer unless cut down by several layers of colored glass. The photographic telescope has a plate simi- lar to that used by a camera, which substitutes the eyepiece. The average exposure is two hours while exposures are made from one-half a second to thirty hours, the latter being made on three successive nights. It is popular belief that one can see stars through a large telescope on rainy nights but when you consider that a magnifying power is used, each particle of moisture and each drop is magnified 1.000 times and these interpose between the observer and the object, the observing is as many times as impossible as the power used. These photo- graphic telescopes arc turned by electric mo- tors geared down to one complete revolution in one day. Sometimes, when a delicate observation is being made, an attendant has to go to the in- strument and set it on the object over and over again. A difference in angle equal to the angle subtended by a baseball fifteen miles distant is enough l render an astronomical observation by photograph useless. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 111 Stars are measured by magnitudes, in propor- tion to their relative brightness. There are twenty first magnitude stars. Naked eye obser- vations arc possible down to the sixth magni- tude. and there are about 8,000 stars visible. With a visual telescope the seventeenth magni 1 he work consists of: First, the determination of the variability of stars and their period. Second, the determination of the magnitudes and proper motion of stars. Third, the classifi- cation of “neuf venue” comets. Fourth, study of the planets and their satellites. Fifth, the Courtesy of Harvard Coll. Obs. HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY tude is reached and the photographic telescopes reach to the thirty-third. t this extreme dis- tance countless millions of stars record them- selves on the plate. In all the world there are about 70.000.000 separate plates filed away for present or future reference, and every star down to the thir- teenth magnitude is recorded, that is. its exact position in the sky. its magnitude, its variability in brightness and its variation of position or proper motion (through space) is known. This represents the work of about 3.000 tireless as- tronomers of the last century. At the average observatory there are em- ployed the director and secretary, a staff of pro- fessors, assistants or observers, and recorders. The work of each continues from day to day in- dependent of weather or time. A skilled me- chanic is employed and most improvements or accessories are made at the observatorv. photographing of nebulae and clusters. Sixth,, the observation of the sun and of solar protu- berances. The naval observatory also computes the rise and fail of tides, correct time, occultations. anc! eclipses. Not a small part of the assistants’ work is to show visitors about the observatory and to let them view the interesting objects of the sky through the telescope. This duty, as it might almost be called, is done very cheerfully and they never get tired of answering: “Of what is the moon made?” or “How many points has that star?” Mention might be made of several new inven- tions which have not yet been adopted by all the observatories. These include the Interfer- ometer or instrument for measuring the diam- eter of bodies so far away that they subtend Concluded on Page 122 112 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Silver Leaf Tree Lois P. Gibson, 1922 N the summit of a sandy hill on Cape Cod there stands a wonderful old silver leaf tree, guarding the grey, weather-beaten homestead of some retired sea-captain. It looms promi- nently among the sand hills which surround It. and seems more wonderful than the other trees of the countryside, standing alone as it does, and raising its spread of branches far above those of any other tree. At this time of the year the autumn winds have already stripped it of its summer dress, and its form, black and bare, is silhouetted sharply against the sky. The fresh green of summer has left it and it appears lonely—so far away from any of its companions. When the snows fly and winter has laid her icy hard on the world, the tree will become trans- formed. Then its branches, weighted with their white burden and touched by the sun. will seem fairv-!ikc, covered with a myriad of sparkling gems. No longer bleak and dead, the tree will live again to glisten and sparkle so wonderfully, that the other trees in the neighborhood will be- come dwarfed and insignificant in comparison. Hilt when the warmer winds have come, and the sun has melted the white covering of the tree, when spring has arrived, and in passing has merged itself into summer, then the old patriarch blossoms and lives in earnest. One glance, and the tree is a mass of green; a second glance, and what a sight awaits one! A gentle wind mur- murs in and out among the leaves, and as it goes whispering and sighing through the branches it turns the leaves so that the bright sun. shining on them, transmutes the tree to a living, shim- mering silver, which fairly dazzles the eyes by its beauty. But the tree is perhaps at its best during a storm, a Cape Cod nor’eastcr. Then it is in its element. The wind tears across the peat bog and lew sand dunes from the angry bay, and, whistling and blustering, flings itself in all its furv at the tree. The rain pours through the branches with a steady roar, and the raging wind, beating first here, then there, among the wet leaves, seems to rouse the very spirit of the tree. It ’s changed to an angry giant, bending, creak- ing. groaning, so that finally it is lashed to such a fury that it appears to be the very heart of the storm itself. y y y The Wet Blanket Society Elmer Littlefield, 1922 FORE bringing the “Wet Blanket Society” into the limelight, I must recount the story of the founding of this society and also the renowned “Silly Six” Society. That summer I ran an automo- bile for a Washington man who was taking his vacation in Maine. The brakes were working poorly and one night, just after dinner, I started to take the car to a garage to have them re- lined. I took with me two boys and three girls, who were staying , jt the hotel. When we got to the garage, which was seven miles away, we found a sign on the door saying that the garage man would be back the next day. 1 decided to proceed to the next garage eleven miles distant. It was 8 o’clock then and we arrived at our des- tination at about 8.30. Here we received the pleasing and encouraging news that the repairs on the auto would take until 11 o’clock. At this news we “rejoiced and were exceeding glad.” 1 tried to call up the hotel where our mothers were so that they could share our hap- piness with us. only to find that the line had been down for twenty-four hours. One may imagine what the mothers of the six little lambs thought when we didn’t return early in the even- ing as scheduled. I was well known for my driv- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 113 ing, having been hauled in twice for breaking the speed limit of fifty miles an hour. We ar- rived at our domicile at 12 o’clock sharp. Let us draw the curtain. I will only say that the “Wet Blanket Society” was thereupon formed by the six mothers. The society grew in numbers with great rapidity. In two days every mother at the hotel was a member. They numbered eighteen when the final member was enrolled. The Acts of this society were simply horrify- ing. They ruled with an iron hand. The actions of every boy and girl in the place were restricted to such a degree that no one could go in swim- ming more than once a day. Think of it. The six that went on the eventful trips formed a society which was unanimously called the “Silly Six.” The “Silly Six Society held a meet- ing and decided that the Wet Blanket Society must be dissolved. Instead, the Wet Blankets immediately set about dissolving the Silly Six. The Silly Six wanted to go to the movies on Sat- urday night. The Wet Blankets put their foot, or rather feet. down. The “Silly Six” did not go to the movies Saturday night. The “Silly Six” and the “Timid Twelve” combined held a dance every night in the hall nearby. The Wet Blanket Society decided that two nights a week was enough and that there should be only two dances thereafter. There were exactly that number of dances thereafter. All this goes to show that the Wet Blanket Society held perfect sway. 1 maintain that the Wet Blankets were an injustice to the general public and that such things should be abolished here and hereafter. They held the throne and power in their hands. They abused that power; they were tyrants! I maintain that if any such society is formed in the future, it should be im- mediately dissolved by law. If this is not done, how can the constitution of the United States be upheld in its provision that all persons, born free and equal, shall have equal right in the pur- suit of happiness? I say: “Down with Wet Blan- ket Societies in general.” With such things in existence, we cannot have equal rights in the pursuit of happiness. The Wet Blanket Society has all the rights there arc. Therefore, gentle reader, if heretofore you have submitted in helpless resignation to the oppres- sion of such a society, join me in righteous pro- test. resolved that such things shall not be. I . S.—-It won’t do any good, though. Mothers always win out. v v Deserted in Mid-Ocean Janice Hoxie, 1921 LTHOUGH I can call to mind several amusing family anecdotes which have been handed down from past generations, one especially stands out in my memory on account of its being of a somewhat extraordinary character. Three generations ago my great- great-great-grandfather (he was very “great” indeed), set out upon a venture of his own. At that time gold was being mined on an extensive scale in certain sections of the country, and Grandfather Curson knew that in order to sepa- rate the metal from impure substances large quantities of quicksilver were necessary, so he decided to make his everlasting fortune by sup- plying this substance to one of the richest of the gold-producing countries. South America. So it was that he. with a few friends, set sail one day for foreign parts. “The first few days, says Mr. Curson in his journal, “were all that could be desired: the sea calm and the air brisk. But this state of affairs was not to continue, as the sudden darkening of the sky on the fourth day out foretold. A terrific storm came up, sweeping the vessel out of its course and into the wake of a dark hulk which the men soon de- cided to be a wrecked ship. Although they were now in mid-ocean, my grandfather demanded a boat, by means of which he and his friends could go to the rescue of the ship-wrecked ones. The captain, all too willingly, complied with this re- quest. and right then and there their adventures began. The men reached the wrecked vessel safely but found no survivors, so turned about and pulled once more for their own ship; but. could they only have known it. they were destined never to see that ship again! On arriving at the place where it had been they found it—gone! Nor was this the only discovery which they made: the startling one vl.at they were deserted and alone in mid-ocean forced itself upon their sensibili- ties.

Upon these nearly destitute people they bestowed one of two large pieces of canvas which had been found in the boat. Then, with promises to send aid from Cuba as soon as they themselves should reach that island, the would-be rescuers sailed nonchalantly away, hoisting the remaining bit of ■canvas for a sail. They had gone but a little way, however, when there was sighted, in the distance, a ship. As it «came alongside their own boat, Grandfather Cur- son recognized it as a Spanish ship, and the cap- Hcrrick barren, Earl Cruikshank. John Carey, Boston University.

The little group were soon on board the ves- sel. but on account of a very black burn, the question of Mr. Curson’s identity was hardly clear until one of the sailors, a man who had known mv grandfather in the past, hailed him as “Sencr Curscn.” From that time on. of course, things went smoothly; the rescued being carried to Cuba, where their adventures ended for the time being. As for those stranded on the desert island, they were soon rescued, much to their relief. But re- garding the “bold, bad captain” and his crew nothing was ever heard. It was thought that having stolen the quicksilver, they had set sail for South America and “gold.” got caught, per- haps, in a squall, and lost. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 115 Professor Michiakiea Nagai. of the Tokyo Higher Normal School and the Tokyo Women’s Higher National School, of Japan, who is mak- ing his second trip around the world for the Japanese government in quest of information about physical training, visited the Somerville Senior High School last Friday and was the guest of Professor Ernst Hermann, supervisor of physical training, during the period given to that subject. He said that he had found in Som- erville that which he had not found anywhere else, a substantially perfect ph'ysicial training system as far as it goes. He thought that we suffered from lack of proper equipment the same as they do in Japan, where they have to do without halls and playgrounds. He com- mended the system and Professor Hermann. He listened for a few minutes to the Girls’ l;ifc and Drum Corps, which was playing during the period, and said that there was not an organiza- tion like it in all Japan. The professor is a na- tive of Japan but was educated in the United States. The English Drama Club is greatly indebted to Miss Ritchie and the typewriting department for the great amount of work they have done for the club. The Art Department under Miss Bradford is planning and making the scenic effects for the next English Drama Club play. The Senior Class was much pleased to be honored by the Teachers’ Club with an invita- tion to the Shakespearean reading on “Presi- dents’ Night.” by Professor Webber, of Exeter. The masterly presentation of “Hamlet” was greatly enjoyed by the class. FRENCH CLUB The second meeting of the year was held by ♦he French Club Thursday evening. January 20. at the home of Miss Bowker. Leonard Milano presided and the usual business meeting took place. Twenty-two members were present and each responded to his name by giving a French quotation. An interesting programme followed, opening with the singing of the Marseillaise by all. The Misses Ethel and Edna Walker, accompanied on the piano by Miss Anna Magnusson, sang a duet. “Mon Ami Pierrot.” A monologue, “Au Telephone.” bv John Dunbar, followed. Donald Miller and Paul Bartram gave a conversation entitled “Au Restaurant.” Arm in Clement then rendered a violin solo accompanied by Miss Edna Walker. A playlet. “Chez le Den- tiste.” by James Finley. Edith Jones and Mil- dred Millikcn. was followed by French games. The programme was entirely in French, and was enjoyed by all present. On Tuesday. February 1. the students of the preparatory courses enjoyed a talk by Professor Robert Moore, of Colgate University. The pro- fessor addressed the students on the desirability of a college education, for what it made of the boy o’- girl receiving it rather than for what it taught them to do as a vocation. The professor proved his points by many instances of college student life.

George, I wanna wipe my pen.” Yeh. Bob W-----has made an alarming dis- covery in house planning. Bob claims that the second floor should be over the first! The class is improving fast. Our idea of nothing at all:— Simpson walking home alone. Biller running home for dinner. Finley missing a Friday at Heinie’s. Smith studying going home. Weeks taking up flying. Room 102 is proud of having as leaders, foot- ball stars, such as Lynch, halfback; Callahan, centre, and HEM ICON, CHEER LEADER. I I low we know them:— Taylor—By his green necktie. Barutfaldi—By his pink suit. Rawson—By his feet. Simpson—By his spats. McCabe—By his speed. Corliss—By his smile. Edclstcin—By his height. E. Benson—By the letters on her sweater. Garrod—By his missing teeth. Smith- By his black eye. Aloise—By his ambition. MacDonald—By his jazz band. Biller—By his size. Menicon—By his popularity with the girls. L. Wood—By her vocal talents. Classmates, start saving. The dollar for your picture in the Year Book is due April 1. “John, dear,” wrote a lady from the Capital, “I enclose the hotel bill.” “Dear lane. I enclose a check,” wrote John in reply, “but please don’t buy any more hotels at this price.—they are robbing you!” Senior: “That professor has such an academic look.” Junior: “That’s due to the pupil in his eye.” Fletcher and Corliss were called out of music to meet a policeman. We wonder why. Caution!! Don’t attempt to walk between the East and West buildings before school with your coat on! Have you paid vour Class Dues yet? Keep in mind the Radiator Year Book. Be- gin now to save that dollar! According to Holmberg. these autograph al- bums are getting to be quite a nuisance. Catani: “The rules, are getting stricter; no talking in corridors and no drinking after the first bell.” Hemcon: “I remember four years ago, I used to drink when I wanted to, eat my lunch when ! wanted to. and then I was so happy I used to render solos going from one recitation to an- other when I wanted to.” Year Book committee to be elected directly after the vacation. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 117 Lynch: “I saw you out at Spot Pond with your girl Sunday, Bob.” Bob: “Yes, we had a lesson in biology for Monday so I took her with me to take down in shorthand all things that I observed were beau- tiful in nature.” Let us aim to get our graduation pictures early. Avoid the rush. Don't wait until the last minute! Baruffaldi • “What shall we do tonight?” Edelstein: “Let’s spin a coin. If it turns heads we’ll go to the movies: if it turns tails we’ll go to a dance, and if it stands on edge we’ll study.” Things We Would Like to See. A hat for the brow of a hill. A belt for the waste of time. A pair of gloves for the hand of fate. A sleeve for the arm of the law. A ring for the linger of conscience. AND—A gymnasium for S. H. S. Hemeon: “The girls are getting smaller every year in this school. I’m glad I’m getting through in June.” 1922 Wilbur G.

How do you do it?” Izzy: “Well, you see, I put a collection box in front of the store with a sign: ‘For the Blind’ ”—Ex. Farmer: “See here, young fellow! What are you doing up in that tree?” Boy: “One of your pears fell down and I m trying to put it back.”—Ex. The Class of 1922 extends deepest sympathy to Charles Bennett on the loss of his father. Heard in Chemistry:— “Gee! Who blew out the gas?” “Isn't it pretty?” “What color is it?” “Who broke my test tubes?” “Open the window, quick!” “Gee! This stuff burns.” “What are you trying to do, blow us up?” We know:— Elinor Martin by her laugh. Alice McGrath by her hair. Marion DeWitt by her “Owen Magnetic.” Bullard by his maiden name. Roche by his long pants. Campbell by his “danger sign.” Knibbs by his altitude. Miss K—n, reading bulletin:— “There will be a meeting of the hookey team after school.” Heard in English:— Mr. D—s—n: “What kind of poetry is this?” Pupil: “Prose.” Don't forget the 1922 Opera! Let everyone work together to make it a success!! 118 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1923 Richard J. Walsh, Editor Stanley F. Teelc, Assistant Editor At the first meeting of the Class of 1923 speeches were given by the officers and the im- portant question of class clues was decided. The dues are twenty-five cents. One of the most important things necessary for a success- ful class is a good financial basis. Help make this by paying your dues. “What Every Boy Knows.” Act. I. Scene I. Any street car stop on the •route to school. lime: Any morning at 8.15 a. m. or after. A group of anxious looking youths stand impatiently on the curb, glancing at a nearby clock every three seconds. Their number grows (so does their impatience). Sud- denly. “A car!” cries one in the same tone that Columbus must have used in exclaiming “Land!” Sure enough, a little one-man car skids hesi- tatingly to a standstill, ten yards beyond the stop. There is a general stampede for the one “ample” door. Everyone is in. partly at least, the door is jammed shut, the car starts to move when.—a block behind three desperate, would- be passengers come tearing down the street, a bag in one hand, and a school ticket in the other. The hard-hearted boys in the rear of the car ironically veil encouragement. Does the “crew” of the car have mercy and stop for them? You have guessed it. hie doesn’t. So the disap- pointed ' ones regretfully return and retrieve various books, pencils, lunches, et cetera, that they dropped in the chase. Act. II. The Eloormaster’s office. A long line of woe-begone tardy ones. ‘ Any excuse?” asks the teacher. “I missed the-------” “Three nights,” relentlessly orders the judge, a le Solomon. Loud wails are heard. Curtain.

JOHN’S. 1; SOMERVILLE. 0 The Somerville High School Hockey team met St. John’s at Danvers and was defeated by a score of 1-0. Neither team showed any marked superiority over the other. The only tally of the game was a fluke. Cap- tain H. Connolly, of St. John’s, took a long lift at the Somerville net. This shot was inter- cepted by Captain Garrod. but he accidentally whacked it into his own net. Captain Connolly and Doullette featured for the victors, while Captain Garrod and Coyne played well for Somerville. ST. JOHN’S Doullette. 1. w. Reagan, c. H. Connolly, r. u . Quin. r. w. J.

We welcome: the new ex- changes we have received during the month and, to our old friends, we extend congratulations. As we see others:— The Advocate. Needham High School.— Your looked like an interesting, lively maga- zine and we were not disappointed. You are the cleverest exchange we have. The stories arc fine both in quality and quantity. “The Barnacle” and “Humor” are full of wit. We would like to be life subscribers to the “Bar- nacle.” We wonder why so many of the clever poems are on Latin. Is that the only language which has “bus”es to carry you along? Please come and make us laugh again. The Argus, Gardner High School.—We are glad to number you among our exchanges. Your stories are good and your athletic depart- ment is strong. Why don’t you arrange Ex- changes alphabetically ? The Botolphian, Boston College High School. —The Botolphian is a wonderfully attractive magazine and very worth while, with just enough humor to make it interesting and to make us like it. The Dynamo, Newton Technical High School. —The Dynamo has been set running. It has more departments than any of our other ex- changes and they arc all interesting and each has a snappy title. It is due to sparks, we sup- pose. The English High School Record.—You surely have the record for jokes and cartoons among our exchanges. At last we see an Ex- change Column with life enough to exchange. Don’t you ever remember your Alumni? The Hermonite, Mt. Hermon School.—We are glad to see that you have now a separate column for exchanges. Society notes are well written. The Imp. Brighton High School.—The Imp has a lot of news and interest for so small a paper. The cover designs are clever, the jokes impish. The Megaphone, Dean Academy.—We like your pages of cartoons. Exchange notes are well handled. Why not add more of your own jokes ? The Nobleman, Noble and Grecnough School. —We know you well enough now to expect an unusually complete magazine and we know where to turn to read detective stories. They are great. Your athletic notes are written in great detail. But you have only six jokes! Don’t funny things ever happen at school? Tell them to us. The Papoose. Globe High School, Globe, Ari- zona.—'I'he Papoose is always brimming over with school life and spirit. Your exchange col- umn is interesting, mirabile dictu. 'I'he Port Light. North Attleboro High School. —Your editorials and stories arc fine. If you had a few cartoons, cuts and jokes, the “Port Light” would be brighter. The Sassamon, Natick High School.—A com- plete and well handled magazine. The joke column is exceptionally large and original. School Life, Melrose High School.—Where are your Alumni Notes and cuts? Both fea- tures arc always interesting. Try them. Weldon, ’18 Eldridge, T8 Present The TUFTS MUSICAL CLUBS Concert and Dance SOMHRVILI.F.

The great eye specialist had per- formed an operation and today the bandage was to be removed. Rod sat alone in his room. His friends waited below, but he preferred to be alone when this thing happened, lie stood up and raised his hand to the cloth. Slowly, very slowly he raised it. The old familiar lines of his bedroom became clear. The sun poured in through a big open window and everything was bright. He stood for a moment and then shouted. He rushed out of the room and down tile broad stairs. Half a score of boys stood at the foot in an awed hush. Slowly lie looked all around the room and then at them. “Fel- lows.” he said, “you should thank God that you are blessed with your precious eyesight to cn- � oy the things lie has made.” Then running to the bottom. “Let’s go outdoors and let me look at die grass and the trees and sky and at you.” THE ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY Continued from Page 111 an angle equal to that of a pinhead over a thou- sand miles distant. 'Phis will render possible, measurements which have hitherto been impos- sible and will probably revolutionize stellar astronomy. Another is the polar-mounting. This is the most acceptable improvement to astronomers which they ever received. It consists of a tube extending out of the side of a building parallel to the earth’s axis. A mirror does all the con- tortions previously done by the observer. In cold weather the observer sits at the eyepiece, located in a warm room, and manipulates a mir- ror which reflects up into the tube the light from the stars. The third is a spectrometer and spectroliclio- grapli. In the first arrangement the exact com- position of a star is ascertained. In the second the photosphere of the sun. previously ex- cluded from view by the intense light of the sun. except at total eclipses, of which there arc not more than two in a year, is rendered visible both visually and photographically. These new inventions all help solve the mys- teries which have confronted men since the creation, but that. “King of Sciences” has not proceeded beyond the first page of its life’s his- tory yet, and no one can conceive what the next generation will reveal.

We arc both sorry and glad that Miss Kaan has left us,—sorry in that we have lost an excellent teacher and a generous friend—yet we are glad that she may enjoy the rest that is certainly due her after having toiled so lor.g and faithfully in the school. We wish her every possible happiness and comfort in her life of leisure. r. •!• It would be a great thing for the Somerville High School if ail its Alumni exhibited the same interest in it and its activities that is shown by a few. Those who have gone through the mill and who have had from one to forty years of experience in the outside world could be of great assistance to the school if they would only keep in touch with it. The advice and information that we could obtain from these older and wiser ones, either through articles in the Radiator or otherwise, would help many of us to decide what to do and how to do it. There is no lack of willing- ness on the part of the Alumni to play this role. — the trouble lies in the fact that we do not know “Who’s Who and Why ’ also Where. Once we get in communication with them, they arc always glad to help out in any way they can, but a list of graduates does not even seem to be at hand. We wish that an accurate list of at least the names and addresses of graduates might be kept, and as much more information as might be practicable. v Once more baseball comes to the front! The “Lightning Infield” will soon be warming up for the first game of the season of 1921! We have no Ty Cobbs this year, but we have some good material, we have a good coach, and we are going to have a good team! But, — the best team that ever happened couldn’t amount to a row of pins, if nothing was back of it. Last fall the school turned out fairly well for foot- ball, but even at that, the numbers were not half what they should have been. Let's stage a come-back this spring, school, and show the folks from Medford, from Cambridge, from Everett, from Maiden, from Newton, and any- one else who cares to look, that the S. If. S. spirit'isn’t dead yet, and that all the ball players didn’t graduate last June! r The Radiator extends its deepest sympathy to Miss Davis in her recent bereavement in the death of her father. ;• We are glad to present to the school in this issue three articles from Alumni, and hope that readers may find them both interesting and profitable. k • We thank Mr. Boardman, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Enslin for kindly contributing articles for this issue.

After serving during the war in the Twenty-first Kngineers, he Is now working In the In- dustrial Relations and Advertising Department of 11� c- Hood Rubber Company. He is editor of the Hood Arrow and of The New Bngland Purchaser. T seems but yesterday that I stood on Central Mill and partici- pated in the planting of the class ivy. How swiftly the years have passed! As I look back on those days I realize now that they were import:.nt days in my life: for they have had much to do with the moulding of my character. That this fact is not an exception with me, but a general rule, is only too well proven by my class picture. Those who did well in high school have done well in college and business circles. The indolent and the frivolous of those dear days are still drifting, and have accom- plished little that is worth while. At one time or another every high school student is faced with this problem: After High School—What ? Perhaps a few words from one who has been through the mill might there- fore not he amiss. Obviously, in most cases, a graduate is going to college or into business. In order to succeed in either, regardless of all natural ability the graduate must he a Learner, a Thinker, and a Doer. If the graduate sets his heart upon advanc- ing he must he a learner all his life. Not from books alone, but from observation. Daily, men pass our trademark in the Hood factory. They see it on tires, on shoes, on cases, and what not, but I doubt if many know its history or when it was patented. Vet it means their daily bread. In college it was the same way. Very few had gained the power of knowing how to observe intelligently. Everyone you meet has something to teach you. tel! you, or show you, if you know how to ask intelligent questions, if you are genuinely interested in learning. But do you watch men of greater intellect and more self-reliance to see if you can grow by their method? Are you satisfied with today alone or arc you figuring on what the future has in store for you? Study the people with whom you come in contact. Some will give you information, some will teach you wisdom, some will show you the right way of delivering a smile or handshake. Be a human interrogation point Watch the man “higher up.” It pays! It is difficult to pick up a good book that does not tell of some great man who has stood out among his fellow men because he had the abil- ity to learn from others. Boswell tells us in his Life of Johnson that the literary critics of their age longed to he in the presence of the “grand old man” because among his loud bel- lowings were secreted golden words of wisdom which would nave taken them years to have discovered themselves. They grew from watching him. It took Newton’s observation in tiie orchard to discover our law of gravita- tion. His trained eye found in the falling apple the secret that has made him immortal. Every- thing our own Lincoln attempted until he was thirty-five was a failure. He was laughed at. peopie jeered him. and his opinions were often set aside by his own cabinet, but he learned, he watched others, he grew. Carnegie started as a factory hand for $2.00 per week. Did pull make him a millionaire? Quite the contrary. He used keen intelligence, and by watching other men was able to finally become the finan- cial power in the steel industry of our coun- try. Edison is a good example of a man who progresses through observation. From an or- dinary newspaper boy on the Erie railroad he has proved himself to be America’s greatest inventor. And lie is still learning and improv- ing on the work of others. When I go through our mill and meet a man who shows me he has lost interest in his job. 1 feel sorry for him. Such a man has ceased to grow. There is no better place to grow than m one's daily work. Your job, whatever it may be. is a field of unending possibilities for learning facts, meeting people, attaining new triumphs day after day that prove your mettle and your brains. Success comes to the person who continues to grow, and when you continue to grow you have found the secret that makes life continuously interesting. Then a man must be a thinker, and must think hard. A large amount or the overhead expense of the Hood Company is due to the mistakes of some person who has not had his mind on what he was doing. A man who thinks before he acts will never be the victim SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 137 f an accident due to his own carelessness. man who thinks can surely add to his person- ality, i.is influence, his power, and his success. If you ever watched a long freight trying to make a steep grade you know it takes a long series of hard pulls to reach the level stretch. Many people never put a load on their brains, and their brains, like an unattached locomotive, always run “light.” Unless a man revolves in his mind what he learns and observes he never gets use from it. ‘T didn't think, is the pass- word to failure. Finally after all is said and done, and the last analysis has been made, I take my hat off to the man who delivers the goods. I like a doer. Too many people arc long on thinking and short on doing. In athletic games, in art. in literature, in whatever field you want to take, it’s the man who can come through and deliver the blow in the pinch who gets the laurels. Experience is the greatest of all teachers. When you have the courage to tackle the diffi- cult thing that tests your utmost ability then you are down to the business of growing in all its fine points. The bumps you will get, the discouragements you will encounter, and even the mistake you will make in being zealous in your doing, will be among the nest parts of your education. When you can Learn, Think and Do. you have the key that will gain access to the boss’ ear. Until you can produce the goods it is closed to you— I was talking with some college graduates the other day. Somewhere in their minds when they were in college they had visions of what they were going to do when they en- tered the business world. When they took this decisive step and started on the job in the fac- tory they were surprised to discover that it was really necessary to spend considerable time in learning fundamentals. Their visions faded, and they have not adjusted themselves to their jobs, because they think the job is beneath them. I have in mind another group of college men who buckled down to business, and industri- ously applied themselves to the job in hand. They are already on the road to good positions. Any man. however, who becomes discouraged and continually complains that the world is against him will in no time be pegging away in the hopeless, useless spirit of Dr. Mannettc. The world is fickle indeed; for it has little sym- pathv for failures, while it always likes the suc- cessful man. There are also men in industry who think col- lege men have the advantage over them even when they have been on the job a greater num- ber of years. There is a college education in every plant if the employee wants to take it. Success depends more on the man than on the education. I he best things in this world have been done by men who with little education have plodded faithfully, and some of the worst crimes have been committed by men of higher education. Any sane being will admit, how- ever. that education better fits a man for future progress, other things being equal, than the lack of it. Therefore if the man without a college education wishes to have the same chance, he has the opportunity of studying evenings. But how many do? But if you can possibly get to college do so by all means. A college course will yield you dividends—in better work, and a broader outlook on life. Blot out of your life the failures that come from wasted hours, and write into it the suc- cesses that come from time well spent. Keep life’s page clean and sill it with the record of knowledge gained. Fix your eyes on the goal of your ambition and hold our hand to the task. Work hard, hope high, and live up to the best that is in you, then you can write at the end: Well done! EDITORIALS.

We recommend that every pupil in the school make a point of seeing it. r •! « The results of the elections of the committee to the Year Book Staff were as follows:— 1921 Josephine Murphy.

The sub- ject of a speaker was broached. Hardly was the question raised when the class president squelched it with the crushing retort: “We don't want the Reverend Doctor So-and-So to conic and preach us a sermon.” We didn’t have the “Reverend Doctor So-and-So.” In fact we didn’t have a speaker at all. The Mayor made remarks. What is the point of this rellcclion ? Merely this: When your eye catches the phrase “Newton Theological Institution” you may be seized with the fear that another Reverend has written back a lot of advice against “cutting ethics” — if per- chance you now have ethics — or cribbing Cicero - - if perchance you now read that cele- brated Roman. Set your mind at rest. This is not to be a sermon and I hope you will read it and not skip it as I used to skip the articles “from our recent graduates.” I want to take this opportunity to say a few things that may be an old story to you, but which I have found to be very true in my own case. Everyone of you is thinking and planning more or less as to what he is going to do on graduation. Many will go to college, more will go out into seme form of business. How are you going to choose the field in which you intend to work ? What is to be the basis of your choice of profession or business? Is it going to be merely the one that will bring in the fat- test pay-envelope at the end of the week or the most substantial check at the first of the month? If that is the only basis of choice you may make a living but you will fail utterly in making a life. Don’t misunderstand me. The financial end is of crucial importance to most of us. lm! it isn’t all. Other elements enter in. I am going to risk bringing attack upon my head from many conservatives — I like to be disagreed with—• by saying: “Choose what you like the best.” The old system of education was: “'leach a child anything so long as he doesn’t like it.” Today we say: “Teach him what lie does like and what he may come to like when he knows more about it.” If a boy abom- inates manual training he would probably, all things being equal, make a very poor carpen- ter; if he loathes and despises Latin and the other languages he should not feel it his duty to become a professor of the classics. If you have set your whole heart and soul on being a physician because of the good you can do and because you feel that here you can find the full- est self-expression and your parents cannot af- ford to help you through college, go just the same and plug your way through. It is re- markable the ways that open up before the de- termined attacks of resolute manhood and womanhood. Demosthenes intended to be an orator, but his friends laughed him to scorn, for lie was tongue-tied. But the more they laughed the more determined was he, and for years he spent his waking hours by the shores of the Hellespont with a pebble in his mouth to aid him in overcoming his impediment until his voice could be heard above the swirling waters, and finally he triumphed. His friends are for- gotten. Demosthenes will never die. Be ready to pay the price. When you make up your mind that you can make most out of your life in a certain field, and after serious and solemn thought determine that that is the place for you. then roll up your sleeves and step in and let absolutely no difficulty stand in the way. And failure is out of the question; you will win the prize every time. But you may say that this is all abstract. I want to put in a word for the professions. Only the other day 1 read an article in the Harvard Alumni Bulletin which spoke of the serious sit- uation confronting America today. The pro- fessions are being deserted by the rush of men and women into business. The lure of the dol- lar has caused a temporary blindness. Not all who go into business go for that purpose, yet the ranks of the professions are being decimated and thousands of men who would make signal successes tlmrc are becoming mediocres in the mad rush. I want to challenge some of you men with the Christian ministry. Not all of you by any manner of means; no sissy nor effeminate need apply. The call is for men of strength and brains. To succeed in the ministry today a man must be one who could win success any- where cise. The day for the mild, inoffensive little man, with watery eyes, hair parted in the middle, whose pious, resigned air was al- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 139 tered only by a shocked raising of the eyebrows at the mention of a theatre has passed, if in- deed it ever existed. What we need is the man who will gladly go if the play is a good one and who will resolutely drive it out of town if it is not. Some of you men who want to make your lives worth while: who enjoy smashing down obstacles; who “like the tough corn-beef”; and who prefer the satisfaction of doing a great work for its own sake think twice before you turn away. It may mean long hours and a moderate salary, but it has some mighty joys. And there is an urgent need of teachers. Men and women who really know and love their subjects; who have spent years in master- ing them so that they can instill the same in- spiration in their students that they themselves have experienced. But whatever you choose finally, give yourselves whole-heartedly, if you spend your life driving nails, learn to drive them faster and more accurately than your fellows. Whatever you choose, be enthusiastic over it. Believe in it: believe that for you it is the greatest work in the world. When you fail to believe that, get out of it and get into some- thing you can praise. I know the ministry is the greatest work in the world. A medical friend of mine says .no, that medicine is. Each of us is right. Medicine is the greatest thing to him : the ministry is the greatest thing to me. Whatever you choose be mighty sure that it is the greatest thing to you. 1 preached in a church in Chelsea some months ago and in the Sunday School I asked a boy what he thought was the finest city in the United States. Quick as a flash he answered “Chelsea.” We may laugh, but I honor that boy. He knew what loyalty meant. When I was in Somerville High School there were a few who “couldn’t get along.” Their plaintive wail was always heard that “Somerville High was such a poor school: that its teachers were so unsympathetic and had their favorites; and that they were unable to get anything out of it.” And so the fond papa and mama would take out their abused darling and send him off to some fashionable “finishing” school where he would be mentally fed with a medicine dropper and be presented with a gift at the end of the year for being the most popular or the most handsome or the most something else. It didn’t hurt Somerville High School any. They didn’t fool anyone ex- cept themselves and their parents. Don’t criti- cise and knock. Be loyal. And finally, be scrupulously honest. Honesty is at a premium today though some people may ‘ail to see it. I heard of a minister who stated that to succeed today in business a man must not be too honest. That man is a liar and a menace. Me should be expelled from the min- istry. Men arc demanding today absolute in- tegrity. Yesterday I was talking to a doctor who had just graduated from a Western medi- cal school. He said that the great majority of the men there cribbed and cheated on their ex- aminations and class work. Think of men like that entrusted with human lives! They are not fit to nurse a ick pig. It may seem a long step from cribbing a verse from Connington to robbing a bank, but what is the inherent differ- ence? Don’t round a single corner. Be abso- lutely square and say to yourself: “I’ll not yield an inch. If I haven’t got brains enough to do this myself I’ll leave it undone and do something I can do myself. I’ll keep my own self-respect.” When that statement is made, success is assured. “Be loyal to the royal in yourself.” I am afraid I have been a good deal like Cicero. He used to say: “I don’t need to elab- orate on this point and then he would promptly expand it for two pages. I said at the begin- ning of this article that I was not going to give advice and I have been doing it all the way through. But it isn’t meant as any fatherly ad- vice of a mooning alumnus. It is merely a heart-to-heart talk on the thing worth while to a lot of friends who arc having the great privilege now that I had a few years ago of studying and living in Old Somerville High School. Lafayette’s Birthplace Herbert R. Boardman, S. L. H. S., 1910 T was the sixth of September. 1918. and the 1(51 st anniversary of the birth of the great Lafayette. The Three Hundred and Third Heavy Field Artillery Band had been in- vited to share with some Ameri- can army officers the honor of representing the American Expeditionary Forces at the birth- place of the great hero, in Chavaniac.

The Voice, Concord High School, Mass.— Dramatics and athletics are exceedingly well written up. LAFAYETTE’S BIRTHPLACE Continued from Page 139 of its preliminary training prior to its period of action at the front, and its band was therefore the nearest one available for the celebration. Before daylight the bandsmen were hurrying down to the village square of the little town of Aubiere, where they were billeted, and after a hasty breakfast in the square they were soon climbing into two army motor trucks. “Another joy-ride for that hand; how do they get that way?” growled the guard to himself in characteristic army slang as the truck loads of bandsmen and instruments passed by him on the way out of the village in the direction of Clermont. Specially reserved compartments on the morning train south awaited the musicians and by the time the sun was up the train ambled out of tiie city of ( lermont and was soon making its way leisurely through some of the most colorful country in France. The day was perfect, warm and clear, and the lofty mountain peaks, which it is interesting to note are extinct volcanoes, stood out in bold relief against a deep blue sky. The landscape, dotted here and there with red-roofed villages, proved most charming and seemed like an im- mense vineyard, while occasionally an old castle ruin frowned upon the passing train from a neighboring hillside. At every grade Continued on Page 111 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 141 Poetry holds a prominent place in the world's best literature. Here you will find imagina- tion, choice of words, and the art of story-tell- ing at their best. Stories in verse are enjoy- able reading and at the same time highly in- structive. Most of us have read the poems of which the following selections are a part. Yet how many of us can recognize the selections; recall the poems from which they are taken; and name the poets who wrote them ? Moral: Read more poetry. “A girl bare-footed brings, and tumbles Down cm the pavement, green-flesh melons. And says there’s news today—the king Was shot at, touched in the liver-wing. Goes with his Bourbon arm in a sling; —She hopes they have not caught the felons Italy, my Italy! Queen Mary’s saying serves for me— (When fortune’s malice Lost her Calais; Open my heart and you will see Graved inside of it, ‘Italy.’ Such lovers old are I and she: So it always was, so shall ever be!” ‘The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.

And leaves the world to darkness and to LAFAYETTE’S BIRTHPLACE Continued from Page 140 crossing the “mademoiselles” tending the gates waved a greeting to the Yankees and thereby helped to make the ride interesting. After a run of three hours the train reached the little village of Paulhac|uet. where autos and carriages were waiting to convey the band to its destination and vehicles of all sorts were pressed into service. But it was a wonderful drive through unspeakably beautiful country, superb views unfolding on every hand, and the landscape was not unlike that of New Hamp- shire and Vermont. It was indeed a pleasing diversion for the young Americans after the daily routuie in Aubiere with its parades, re- hearsals and gas mask drills. “Av. tear her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved on high. And many an eye has danced to sec That banner in the sky: Beneath it rung the battle shout. And burst the cannon’s roar;— The meteor of the ocean air Shall sweep the clouds no more.” “And it isn't the shame and it isn’t the blame That stings like a white-hot brand. ItY coming to know that she never knew why (Seeing at last she could never know why) And never could understand.” “On wan dark night on Lac St. Pierre, l)e win’ she blow, blow, blow, An’ de crew of dc wood scow ‘Julie Plante’ Got scar’t an’ run below; For de w in’ she blow lak hurricane, Bimbv she blow some more. An' de scow bus’ up on Lac St. rierre. Wan arpent from de shore.” “I wanted the gold and 1 sought it: I scrabbled and mucked like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy—I fought it: I hurled my youth into a grave. I wanted the gold, and 1 got it— Came out with a fortune last fall.— Yet somehow life's not what I thought it. And somehow the gold isn’t all.” The Chateau de Lafayette stands upon a lofty eminence commanding an expansive view of miles and miles of fields and woods extending in the distance to long ranges of majestic hills and mountains. The grounds of the estate are spacious and well kept and the little village of Chavaniac adjoins the premises on one side. The chateau itself presents a medieval appear- ance; it is flanked on two sides with large round towers and long rows of French win- dows are prominent m the front of the build- ing, while tw portholes are to be seen on each side of the main doorway. It was built in the fourteenth century, burned in 1701 and rebuilt nearly like the original before Lafayette's birth in 17.57.

Graduation last year took most of our vet- eran -material, only Simpson, Crandcll, Currier and Kellihcr being left. Of the four men of last year’s team remaining in school. Simpson was elected captain. He is an all around player and perfectly capable of meeting every requirement of a captain. This year we are to have a well-organized second team. It will have a schedule of its -own. which, however, will in no way conflict with the games of the first team. Pitchers available this year are Currier. Wick- ■erson and Buckley. Simpson can pitch if neces- sary. Maguire and Goodwin are the most prom- ising catchers, hirst base is held down by ( ran- dell of last year’s team with Martin and Welch to call upon if necessary. Kellihcr and Byrnes look good at second base. Shortstop will be held down by Simpson or Lynch. At third R. Coyne and Callahan show up well, hor the outfield Mr. McLaughlin has a large choice of men. The prospects certainly arc bright and under the careful coaching of Mr. McLaughlin the Somerville High School bids fair for another championship.

George has the “pep,” anyway. Garrod: “Get out and see if the tire’s flat.” Stevens: “Well, it’s not so bad as might be expected. Only one side of it is flat.” Teacher: “Find the least common denomi- nator of—” Pupil: “What! Is that thing lost again!” Support the baseball team! Somerville should be the champions this year, too! “It’s the first down,” said the duckling as it looked in the mirror. Lady (visiting a prison): “Why are you here?” Counterfeiter: “Oh, I just decided to make a little change.” Senior: “If Ivanhoe sells for a dollar, what is Kenilworth?” Bright Junior: “Great Scott, what a novel question.” “I guess I’ll take a day off,” said the student as he tore a sheet from the calendar. It would be a good idea to investigate why there are so many air pockets in the gas pipes of the physics laboratory. “Did you ever fool with the stock market?” “No. I was in earnest. The stock market did the fooling.” The winners in the physical training contest did their part well Parents’ Night. Good work, classmates. Only three more numbers of the Radiator while we are in school, Seniors. Have you a suggestion for something new in our column ? Mac—: “What did you have to smoke at the smoker?” H—lm—rg: “We didn’t have to smoke them. Most of us were wise and brought our own.” A laborer fell overboard. “Drop me a line, will yer, Mick,” he shouted. Mickey (just from the old country): “Shure and I would. Mike, but I don’t know how to write.” Seniors who are not going to Champlain’s but to some other photographer are to supply their own picture for the Year Book. Ask your pho- tographer to finish for you one picture, cabinet size, finished in black and white on a white back- ground (if possible).

IMPOSSIBILITIES. To study to the strains of “Yankee Doodle” played by the drum corps under the window. To prepare an algebra lesson in the lunch period. To pass a make-up exam, without studying. To eat a crab meat sandwich, a hot dog, a pickle and an ice cream cone in the lunch room and feel happy all day. SCENE: A High School Restaurant. Oscar rushes into the restaurant just in time to get the twenty-second place in the ticket line. When he has drawn quite near the ticket booth a classmate advances and says in a low tone: “Willyabuymefive.” Just then a floor- master. who is chief warden of the ticket line, comes up and calmly says to Oscar: “Go to the end of the line; you lose your place for buying other fellows’ tickets.” Oscar bravely goes to the end of the now- diminished line and finally gets his tickets. Then lie gets in line for the “eats.” This is quite long, but finally his turn comes. But wait, the waitress stops him and quietly whis- pers in his ear: “The girl in front of you got the last plate of beans.” Hungry Oscar gnashes his teeth but finds that this does not help his hunger, so he hur- ries across the street, where he arrives in time 10 get the last hot dog. As he finishes the hot dog the final bell rings and he runs to the school, arriving just in time to stay after school for being late in arriving from his most satisfac- tory luncheon. Finale. Who said: “A well equipped gymnasium for S. H. S”? Polite elderly lady (to a small boy): “What is vour name, my lad?” Boy: “It’s Jule.” Ladv: “That is not nice; you should say Julius.” Lady (to boy’s chum named Bill): “And what is yours?” Bill (not to be outdone): “It’s ‘Bill-ious ma'am.” ADVERTISEMENTS.

SPANISH PROGRAM. Through the united effort of the teachers and pupils of the Spanish Department a Spanish pro- gram was presented on Eriday afternoon. Feb- ruary 11. The program consisted of Spanish dances given by Miss Alice Pride and Miss Roma Keddv; Spanish songs by the Misses Wood and a Spanish drama “Uno de ellos debe casarse.” The pupils filling the various roles of the drama were: Tia Maria. Agnes Adams; Juan Ruiz. Hymen Solomon; Diego Ruiz. Paul Fuller; Luisa. Lily VValgis. The program was pronounced a success. The dancing of Miss Pride and Miss Keddy was spir- ited. artistic and in real Spanish form. The singing by the Misses Wood was warmly ap- plauded. The characters of the drama were well rep- resented by the pupils. So well did the pupils take their parts that the humor of the play was apparent even to those of the audience who had never studied Spanish. We commend the pupils for doing their work so well and we congratulate them and all their teachers for so successful a program.

They passed through the room where the hero spent most of his time and also saw a strange P oking article of furniture designated as his bath tub. They also wandered through the quaint old village with its steep, crooked alley-wavs, visited the ancient parish church and purchased exquisite lace-work made by the women of the town to send home to their rela- tives and friends. Large numbers of French people arrived with their lunch baskets, making the affair a typical French holiday celebration and outdoor picnic. At noon a fine dinner was served the musicians in the chateau itself, and in the afternoon the program of the day took place on the lawn in front of the house. The band rendered a fine concert and the band leader was presented with flowers and replied to the presentation speech with a sincere ex- pression of gratitude, stating that the men felt it an honor to be present on such an occasion. 'I'lie French people applauded the music heartily and seemed to enjoy it all. from the serious selections down to the snappy American rag- time tunes and military marches. Many distin- guished people, including French and American army officers, graced the scene with their pres- ence and it was a most brilliant affair. FRANCIS S.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 163 E.D ITORIAU Just as surely as a cold follows wet feet — and about as soon after—a state of general untidiness about the school and the lawn and walks in front of it, follows the arrival of the first spear of green grass and the first twitter of the robin. In the warm months of spring and early summer we pupils are wont to eat our noon-day snacks on the grass in the cool shade of the birch tree and of the spreading lamp post. Fine! It is a splendid idea to get out in the air for a half hour during the school day. and such proceedings are en- couraged by the powers that be. But, and here comes the rub. we pupils are prone to drop, unintentionally perhaps, but in- variably, the Bond Bread papers in which the above mentioned snacks were wrapped. It does not take a great number of pieces of paper, morsels of lunch, banana peels, etc., to clutter up our front lawn. Of course, we appreciate the fact that it is thrilling sport to toss a wad of paper about and to demonstrate one’s skill in mulling it. and that the children must have their exercise, but it would greatly improve the ap- pearance of our school if they would reserve such forms of play for the playground or the ball held. Remember, pupils, you are in high school, not kindergarten! We wish that the proper authorities might undertake to restore Central Hill Park to its old-time beauty; the velvet lawns, the flower- beds with their succession of beauty. How the passers-by used to crane their necks all the way past the park to see the tulips when in bloom! During the war we were glad to devote them to vegetables, but now we want a change. Please! We don’t like cabbage. It is indeed surprising, not to say shocking, to note the number of pupils who still linger at school for the seventh period. We are sorry to recognize so many members of the Class of 1921, which has but two months more in this school, among the delinquents who still have deficiencies to make up. We advise, not in the spirit of preaching, but as sensible advice, all in that group to set to work with a vengeance and clean up those red marks, if you do not choose to do this. well, it is a sad thing for any boy or girl not to graduate with his or her class after having progressed with it for so many years. 'File days remaining are but too few and this question must be decided quickly. Think it over, delin- quents ! it is quite a task for any class to present a good play in first class style, and to give all those who attend a good time. The Class of 1 (.)22 has done that, and we congratulate the class as a whole, and all those who participated, on their splendid success. While poking about among our files, we dis- covered the Baseball Schedule for the season of 1905. which was printed in the issue of March of that year. It is reprinted in this issue i i the hope that it may prove interesting. The editor wishes it to be understood that in the selection of stories to be printed he favors neither one class nor another. The best of them are none too good, and consequently only the best can be used. There is many a senior who slips and falls on ------------- the very steps of the graduation platform. Fail not! ' Come on, school, let's go! — to the ball game. 164 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The “Half” Gold Piece Gertrude M. Chapin, 1921. XXL RICHARDS struggled bravely along through the blizzard. The driving snow settled uncomfort- ably on her shabby fur collar, forc- ing her occasionally to withdraw her hands, thrust deeply into the pockets of her more shabby coat, and pull the collar higher and closer about her firm, but pretty chin. Breathless and crimson-cheeked from the bit- ing cold, she stumbled into the doorway of “Heath’s Department Store,” where day after day since the death of her mother she had made her way. as a means of providing herself with the bare necessities of life. Her time-card punched, she hurried along to the check-room. Amidst the chatter and laugh- ter of the other girls she thankfully slipped out of her damp outer clothing. A final glance into the mirror to pat into place the few wind-blown locks, to adjust the neat white collar on the noticeably worn serge dress, and to — but “Oh!” what had become of it! Frantically she searched herself for that fine gold chain with the precious “half” gold piece attached, thinking that by some chance it might be clinging to her clothing. But in vain. Carefully she retraced her footsteps as far as the door. — but to no avail. Clang! went the nine o’clock gong for opening. Anne rushed nervously back to her counter, only to meet the cold, stern glance of reproval of the floor-ladv. The significance of the glance entirely escaped her. so disturbed was she by her loss. As she mechanically answered questions, and repeated the prices of the various articles, she was constantly tracing and retracing in her mind, her steps to the store that morning. All at once she recalled how she had been obliged to adjust her fur collar several times. Possibly she had pulled harder than she realized and had broken the frail chain. She would search care- fully on her way home, but then tin remem- brance of the steadily falling snow forced her to abandon the idea of the search, which would only prove fruitless by evening. 'The quickest and only way left would be to hurry down to the office of the Evening Herald at lunch time, and apply at the “Lost and Found” department. 'The hours dragged slowly by. “Would lunch time never come?” But slowly and surely it did come and as Anne made her way along the snow- banked streets, hot tears of bitterness blinded her eyes, as she recalled the story of the “half” gold piece. Jean Osborne. Anne’s mother, was the daugh- ter of a very poor farmer. When a girl, her ex- traordinary beauty won for her. however, the favor and admiration of many of the wealthier people in the surrounding villages. One elderly and lonely lady, taking a decided fancy to the “charming Osborne girl.” generously offered to adopt her as a companion. At firs� Jean’s father objected, but in the course of time he was won over and thus Jean took up her new life of ease and luxury. At a reception given in her honor she met a wealthy young man who became very much in- terested in her. From .that time they were seen about together constantly, much to the disap- proval of his family. In spite of everything they decided to be quietly married. To seal the promise, in accordance with an old-time custom, he broke a gold piece into two pieces. One he gave to jean, the other he kept himself. The young couple were happy for a short time after their marriage; but the selfish, pampered son. heretofore never having known the signifi- cance of discomfort, could not endure the state of poverty to which his family had reduced him by disowning him. His love of bodily comfort finally prevailed and he left his young wife and infant daughter to bear the burden of his selfish act. that he might return to the comforts of his father’s house. But only for a short time, for soon after he fell ill and died. The young mother, penniless, once again faced the rebukes of an unsympathetic world. Slowly she struggled through the years, carrying alone her sorrowful burden, until, at last, breaking down under the strain, she told Anne her story and quietly took her leave of all earthly troubles. Anne had always cherished the “half” gold piece, because it represented so much to her of her mother’s life. Possibly some day she would find that other “half” and learn the whereabouts of her father’s people and force them to make some reparation. Xow the last link of connection between her and her father’s family was lost! It was a sad, thoughtful Anne that ascended the dark, narrow Stairs that night to her room. How close and stuffy it seemed! Hungry, she was yet unable Concluded on Page 176 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 The Forest Ranger W. Allen Newton, 1921. RLY in the afternoon of a hot July day in the year 1912, Frank Bradley, forest ranger, was climbing the winding path which led to the tall pine tree that served as a look-out post. The trail was too steep for riding, so he led his horse by the bridle. The horse, a handsome animal, was powerful of limb, and fleet as the wind. His master was an expert horseman, and when he was in the saddle the two seemed blended into one swift, fiery crea- ture. As they climbed, the man talked to his animal comrade. “Some hot, isn’t it. Star? Just the kind of a day lor a forest fire. Everything is dry and dusty and the sun just seems to blaze down on the eartn. Hope I don’t discover a fire. It’s a bad business fighting fires in this kind of weather. Gee. but I'm hot.” By this time they had reached the base of the pine, and dropping the bridle, the young man began to climb. The climbing was quite an ex- ertion and he was tired and hot when he reached his “nest” in the crown of the tall tree, which towered above all its neighbors and gave an un- obstructed view to the observer. He took his field glasses from their case and swept the sur- rounding country. Everything seemed all right until he looked to the northwest. There he saw what he had feared to see, an ominous, black spiral of smoke rising from the forest. Even as he looked it grew larger. Me fancied he saw a tongue of flame, but could not be sure because of the distance. No time was to be lost. Every moment was precious. Me slid quickly and reck- lessly to the ground and dashed to his telegraph instruments which were in a near-by shack. He pounded furiously on his key, giving the call of the station nearest to the fire. Then he threw off the switch and listened. There was no response. He tried calling again and again, but each time he listened he received no answering “ciick-ciick” to tell him that the other operator was at his post. At last, growing desperate, he gave it up and hurried out of the shanty. He mounted hastily, and. touching his horse lightly with his heels, he was off. “Go it. Star.” he cried and down the mountain side they plunged at breakneck speed, the horse picking his way like a mountain sheep in the Rockies. Over logs, around great boulders, in and out between the trees they raced. The young ranger was taking the shortest but most dangerous route to the post which was nearest the fire. This post was in charge of a friend of his. Jack Warner by name. As Bradley rode, thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. He asked himself these questions: “Why didn’t Jack answer? Was he asleep, or ... . could it be possible that he had met with some accident and was unable to per- form his duties? Was he now endangered by the fire that was blazing in his neighborhood? What could have happened?” The more he thought the more anxious and nervous he be- came. He urged his horse to greater speed. The noble creature was still standing up well under the strain and worked as smoothly and easily as as a piece of well oiled machinery. “Come on. Star, old boy. we’re nearly there. . . Look at that smoke, will you!” he exclaimed as a black cloud rolled skyward. The post was only a half mile away now and the ranger judged the fire to be not more than two miles beyond it. It was steadily drawing nearer. He must get there in time to help his friend, if indeed, his friend was in trouble. On; on. they sped, the gallant animal doing his utmost for speed. Now the cabin came into view. Bradley began shouting “Jack. Jack, come out!” He received no answering yell and saw no signs of life about the clearing. He began to think that his fears were realized. He did not even think of the possibility that his chum might be even now at his post lighting the fire. He rode up to the cabin, slid from his saddle, and ran to the door, which stood half open, swinging gently in the breeze that had just be- gun to blow. He glanced quickly about the place and over in a corner saw the form of lack Warner, lying huddled in a heap on the floor. At the sound of footsteps the man on the floor stirred, attempted to turn over, but fell back again with a groan. With three strides Frank reached his side and bent over him. It was an easy matter to see what was the trouble. Jack’s right leg was swollen to twice its normal size and was badly discolored. It was either a break or a serious strain. “Bad business,” muttered the young ranger, as he began using the first aid lie had acquired from his experience in the woods. “I’ve got to get him on the horse or our game is up. I don’t know whether he can stand the strain or not. but it’s better to die trying than to say here and be burnt to death without any attempt at escape.” 160 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR He lifted his friend from the floor and stag- gered out into the clearing. Star was growing nervous but remained motionless while his young master placed the additional burden on his back. While he had been in the cabin the fire had ap- proached much nearer and Frank could now hear the roar and see the flames of the oncoming in- ferno that seemed like a live thing reaching out to capture and devour them. Frank mounted and urged his horse on again. The poor beast needed no urging. He was more than anxious to •escape the fiery monster that was slowly but surely lessening the distance between itself and its intended victims. When they reached the next telegraph station the ranger sent a hasty message of warning and then look up again the race for life. Soon the sky was darkened by the black bil- lowing clouds. The wind, which had become very strong and boisterous, now began carrying fire-brands ahead of the avalanche of flame, kin- dling new fires here and there in the dry brush. The rider heard the patter and thud of many feet xmd saw black shapes, large and small, passing on both sides. Turning slightly in his saddle he saw other shapes silhouetted against the red, leaping- wall. A panther came bounding along with a little black bear cub running at its side. Wolves and deer kept each other company and all the other animals of the forest who were natural enemies had forgotten for the time their feud and were running as fast as their legs could carry them from their common enemy. Hun- dreds of birds flew by, some swiftly, others slug- gishly, as if nearly overcome by the smoke. The smoke began to irritate Frank’s throat. Star was beginning to lag and things were in a desperate strait. Just then Warner, who had been unconscious up to this time, came to and asked weakly: “Where am I ?” “Hello, Jack,” said Frank, “you are taking a ride on Star’s back. How do you like it?” At tbis point Star stumbled and all but fell. The jolt seemed to bring Jack back to his normal self. He immediately saw the danger they were In. “Say. Frank, that fire is gaining altogether too swiftly on us. i know of a cave about one half a mile from here where we could be protected from the fire, but with me crippled as I am and with oidy one horse between us we have no chance to make it. Now I know it’ll be hard, but please do as I say. Leave me here. Without me as a hindrance you may safely reach the cave, but with me as an extra burden that would he almost certainly impossible and would result in the death of both of us. which is entirely unnec- essary. Follow the trail until you reach the large pine with the green, white, V-shaped mark on its trunk. . . . (Here Frank interrupted him but he continued.) Turn to the right from the trail and about one hundred yards in you will find the entrance to the cave. Go quickly.” At first Frank stoutly refused to leave his friend and af- ter a heated argument they finally made a com- promise. During the discussion the horse had kept up his struggle to outrun the red demon. Now Frank dismounted. The wounded ranger rode while his able bodied companion ran along beside them hanging to the horse’s mane. In this way they made better speed than formerly, but when they reached the blasted pine the raging mass of flames was but a few rods distant. The heat was becoming intense and the boys felt their skin scorching and their hair became singed. Red hot coals dropped all about them and even set their clothes on fire several times. However, they managed to beat these out with their hands without much slacking of speed and finally reached the cave. Frank lifted his wounded com- panion from the saddle, and with his hand gave the horse a stinging blow on the flank, shouting: “Run for all you’re worth. Star. Go it. old boy.” The animal, free from all its burdens, sprang forward with renewed energy and quickly van- ished from sight among the trees. Frank pulled Jack into the cool cave and there they awaited their fate. Soon they felt a hot blast like the heat from a furnace door, when suddenly flung open. The walls of the cave warmed up and the smoke nearly strangled them. Occasionally they could hear the thud of falling forest giants. They suf- fered greatly, but all things must cease. The fire swept onward and at last they were able to crawl to the mouth of the cave for a breath of fresh air. They were astounded by the sight that met their gaze. The great pines were now reduced to mere blackened skeletons and many lay in heaps on the ground. All the undergrowth was burned and here and there could be seen the bones of animals that had suffered a terrible death. Smoke still rose from clumps of charred and blackened bushes. The ground was so hot that it burned through the thick soles of Frank’s boots. He quickly returned to the cave. “Say. Jack. 1 hope they received my message in time to stop the fire before it reaches the town of 1)----. The river there ought to help them.” Night approached and the two fell asleep on the hard floor of the cave. They slept as if on a feather bed. so exhausted had they become, and did not awake until nearly noon of the following Concluded on Page 17i SOM ER YI LI. I' HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOF I «7 The Japanese Problem The following letter was written by Ira G!a sman. S. H. S. '10. who is now General M.m ’.fror « !' the South- western Branch of the United Drug: Company, in San Francisco, to his brother. Xoim ::n. Dear Norman: I don’t know whether you’ve asked for my views on the Jap question innocently or with mal- ice aforethought. Probably innocently enough, like the young mother asking her neighbor to take care of the twins while she goes to a tea, but — you’ve given me some job. Your question was, I believe. — I haven’t your letter at hand — What is the Californian’s viewpoint about the Japanese? In the first place it becomes necessary to de- fine “Californian.” The longer I stay out here the more am I convinced that there is no such thing. Most Californians seem to hail from Cusick. Missouri; Albemarle. Nebraska; Salem, Mass., or even, as you know, Somerville. The status of a .“Californian” as such, is as hard to determine as that of an “American.” We all come from somewhere else. But — WE’RE MERIC to stay. You wouldn’t doubt it if you had been with us last Sunday on our one hundred and thirty mile drive amid the ten million trees in the Santa Clara Valley with their wonderfully fragrant white blossoms of your next season’s prunes, peaches and apricots (I hope you pro- nounce it correctly). The origin of the “Californian.” the experience he has had with the Jap and the diversity of his occupation, vocation or avocation, influences, as might be expected, the Californian’s opinion on the question. The lap is a natural agriculturist. He’s not only a clever one but a brilliant one. He can make two strawberries flourish where formerly only one blade of grass grew. The little brown man in California absolutely controls the straw- berry market here. We have strawberries not opJv m July and August but from April until November, or later. Mr. Hashimura says what the price is to be and lie’s reputed to dump them if that price is not forthcoming. That’s the Californian’s fault, not the Jap’s. (My personal opinion.) He gets out in the field and Mrs. Hashimura gets out in the field and all the brilliantly dressed and chubby handsome little Hashimuras get out in the field and they just make these straws grow and grow and grow. They’ve surely put the “awe” in strawberry. Norman — 1 wish you could taste ’em. A-id there’s the rub. I mean the whole family getting- out in the field. Of course Mrs. California doesn’t and won’t and perhaps that’s as it should be, but what is worse, the young Californians don’t. They’re letting the Jap do it and then playing the dog in the manger game. On our way to Yoscmite last year. Martha and I drove through one of the most fertile val- leys in the world, the San Joaquin. In the small town of Atwater there’s a large sign reading “We want no laps here. Keep out.” There are many signs like that throughout California. I have a business friend in Atwater and he says his child is one of three “American” (I am not criti- cising his use of the adjective) children in the public schools. There’s his point f view and the subject can only be discused with him in terms of absolute discrimination. Of course the little Japanese boys and girls, or rather the young boys and girls, in the hotels of San Erancisco and other cities, are picturesque — to the tourist — and quiet, unobtrusive, effi- cient workers, but that is another phase. They love to work. save, and own their own land. The California law does not permit the last. I have a Japanese. Harry Yamamoto, he’s got- ten it down to Yaraa, in my employ, and if could complete our entire personnel with Harry Yamas. the efficiency of the United Drug Company on the Pacific Coast would be trebled.

THE JAPANESE PROBLEM Continued from Base 1 � 7 I have been looking for a booklet. “Transac- tions of the Commonwealth Club of California.” the minutes of one of our meetings at which the subject was discussed. I can’t find it in the house, but perhaps I’ll get you a copy and send it on. It is an interesting symposium on the sub- ject and it surely shows that some Californians have a healthy and liberal viewpoint. Of course they have their own schools in which it is alleged that their children are taught the re- ligion of the Buddhist, and that the Mikado should have their devotion and allegiance. If that’s so it’s like all the rest, not the Japanese’ fault, but the Californian’s. (There goes that old personal opinion.) “We can’t assimilate them” is the cry. I heard, a few weeks ago. an inspired address by Mr. Fred Howe. Immigration Director of New York. He says: “Be lair! Do we want to as- similate them? Let’s be honest!” In connection with the general immigration problem he said it. and then being an artist in tact and a diplomat, he was speaking in San Francisco, (the keynote of his address was. not the statement but the suggestion, that the American of today was the immigrant of yesterday) said naively enough that it was furthest from his thought to make any suggestions to Californians about the lapanese problem. May the country be blessed with many Fred Howes! The Japanese house boy gets 75 cents an hour row and he tells you when he’ll work and what he won’t do. But that’s not his fault. He’s got a monopoly and we made it for him. No doubt the Japanese problem has grown from a sectional one (when I write it “problem” 1 mentally reserve a question mark after the word) to a country-wide one. But what have you back in Somerville got to do with the Jap- anese? Will you ever see one except a student at Harvard and by the way doesn’t he always look like a pretty superior individual? Yet this question is clear across the country to the At- lantic Coast and perhaps they’ll have you fight- ing him some day. Sufficient agitation, just plain chewing the rag. has brought on more than one war and we haven’t had a war for so long! But I’ve gotten off the main subject and I guess I’ll stay off in this letter.

Continued on Page 170 170 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Library Departs i lent Must of us have read a few classic books at least. However, let us review some of the books written by four of the best modern authors. “Our Mr. Wren,” written by Sinclair Lewis, is ;� .i interesting and well assembled work of fic- tion. Mr. Wren is a sales-clerk and for eight years or more he has been working thus. His spare time is devoted to the reading of travel lit- erature or enjoying the pictures of travel at the Nickelorion on Fourteenth Street. Mr. Wren has longed to travel; his dreams have always been of foreign countries. Fortunately his am- bitions are realized. He visits England, and ♦here he meets a young woman, an artist. How- ever. the visit comes to an end and he returns to New York. Here he meets a girl named Nellie, whom he loves. His English friend has in the meantime come to America. After many happenings. Mr. Wren regains his balance and marries .Ycllie. Another interesting book is “The Hands of Esau,” by Mrs. Margaret Deland. Nina Morgan, the principal character, has promised to marry Tom Vail, a young architect in his father’s office. Nina learns by accident of a secret which Tom nimseiJ does not know, because his mother had kept the truth from him. 11 is father had been a criminal. Later lie finds out and Nina, who knows that he knows, waits for him to tell her. Toom fails to do so. Nina breaks the engage- ment and refuses to listen to Tom. This bare outline nT the plot is. in the story, animated with the arnthoiess’ sympathy and understanding. Basil King is one of the foremost of our mod- ern authors. ‘ Thread of Flame” is an excellent example of his works. It is a story of a man who has lost his mind by shell shock. The only memory left was of former personal habits which pointed to easy circumstances and a snobbish at- titude towards the common people. Hiding his misfortune from those about him. and driven by want, he earns his bread by manual labor. Grad- ually be is convinced that the workingman should be recognized When his memory returns he realizes that lie is one of the Boston elite and the husband of an accomplished woman. Re- turning to his old life he finds it dull and empty. After ali be finds that the only way to be happy is by helping others, and by wishing and wait- ing. Marv Roberts Rbineliart, well known to every reader of fiction, has contributed many interest- ing stories. One of her books is “The Amazing Interlude.” Sara Lee Kennedy, living in a small town in Pennsylvania, felt impelled to make some contribution to the war. She could not be a nurse, but she could cook. Finally she decided to go to Belgium and run a soup kitchen. With the help of one hundred dollars, given by the Ladies’ Aid Society, she embarked for Europe. Sara’s fiance protested but it was of no avail. The ex- periences of Miss Kennedy are interesting and exciting. She meets a young Belgian, serving his country as a spy. Her loyalty to her fiance demands her return to America; but everything has changed and therefore she again goes back to her work, and to the Belgian, whose name is I len.ri.

The game was a pitching duel from start to finish between Currier and McCrehan with Mc- Crehan having a slight edge on Currier. Both teams played a line game. In the sixth inning a hit by Gautreau enabled two Cantabs to cross the plate, giving them the only tallies of the game. In the ninth inning, with Gilkey on third and Currier on iirst. Lynch knocked the ball out into deep centre, but unfortunately for the Red and Blue, Sullivan, of Latin, picked the ball out of the air. ending Somerville's hope for a dead- lock.

Inwardly rebelling at the thought of her father's people and their treatment of her mother, she cleared away the dishes and sat down to try to console herself for her loss. A loud knock rudely awakened her from her thoughts. She opened the door to he confronted by an elderly gentleman whose anxious greeting was:— “You're Anne Richards?” The answer in the affirmative seemed a great relief, and he nervously explained that he had read the notice of her loss in the paper and had hastened, not only to return to her the “half” gold piece, — but if she would accept it — the “whoie” gold piece, namely not only that which was rightfully hers, but through a grave mistake that of which she had been deprived. Tears glistened in his eyes as he added: “I have been searching lor many years for some clue to the whereabouts of my son’s wife and daughter. My only wish and desire is to make some repara- tion for mv misguided and unsympathetic ac- tions. My son, when dying, pleaded with me, showing me the folly of my narrow-mindedness, and told me the story of the ‘half’ gold piece. His last wish was to be forgiven and remembered kindly by his daughter.” The pleading, tired eyes, sad with remem- brances. did not plead in vain. The “half” gold piece, an important factor in two lives, had ac- complished its end with abundant restitution for all. THE FOREST RANGER. Continued from Page 165 day. When Frank crawled to the entrance the sun was shining brightly down on him. He went out and soon found a stout stick that would serve as a crutch. With the aid of the stick and his comrade’s strong arm the wounded man left the cave. They struggled along all that day and the next night. The following day they were delighted to see a party of men approaching from the direction of I)-----. When their rescuers drew near Jack fell forward in a faint. They revived him and tenderly cared for him. The party brought food, water and a doctor. What more could the poor men ask? Then Bradley learned that his warn- ing had been a timely one. After a desperate battle the terrible fire which threatened the town had been extinguished and the party had set out to find the rangers if they had. by some miracle, escaped the fire.

Each year our utter inability to justly commemorate the deeds of such noble men is more cleariv shown. Each year, despite the fact that their continuously diminishing numbers show that relentless Death is waging a most demoralizing war upon them, they stand, and with the courage of true soldiers, fight off the great enemy. Xo eulogy can ever satisfactorily portray the gratitude of a people to its heroes. No orator can adequately express the love and esteem of the American people for such heroes as are found in the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. Let us devote May 30th to honoring them. We notice with pleasure that a good sized crowd attends the ball games this season. In- cidentally, we note with still more pleasure, that the team is playing good ball. Wind up in a blaze of glory, boys, the school is back of you! Let there be no slacking up in these last few weeks. The work done may be just enough to push you over the top. or the lack of it may be the last straw that will drag you down. The time is too near to waste a single hour. If you do, the time is not far distant when vqu will regret it. We realize that it is hard to buckle down to strenuous work at this time of year, when it is warm and balmy and the green grass grows ail ’round, but if we can’t do it now what chance will we have when we get out in the cold, cold worid? It is the task of ’21 to make the remainder of its high school career a great success. Senior Night. Class Day. and Graduation are on the way, and if every loyal member of Class of 1921 lends his efforts, these events will be carried off in bang-up style and will not be forgotten in many a long day. Use the walks and keep off the grass. There w ill be XO copies of the Radiator Year Rook for sale on its publication. Engage yours NOW from the business manager, and avoid dis- appointment later. It will be well worth double the price. An assembly of the entire school was held in the hall on Monday, May 9. in behalf of the Radiator Year Book. The Editor-in-Chief John Dunbar, was in charge of the meeting, and after a few words of explanation about the Year Book, introduced Mr. Hosmer. the faculty treasurer. Mr. Hosmer spoke about the financial condition of the Radiator and of the bright prospects for the remainder of the year. Donald Miller, the Busmcss Manager, then explained the subscrip- tion campaign, which began Tuesday morning. Mr. Arnold Murray, Editor of the Radiator in 1910. then gave an inspiring talk on school spirit and the desirability of every student in the school subscribing. The assembly was a great success and its ert’ect has been very evident throughout the campaign. 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR For the City Championship Russel B. Crush, 1922. M FANNING, the hard luck man- ager of the Colonial baseball out- lit. en route to the ball park of the rival nine, cast a somber look at the members of the team who were seated at tables in the dining car. discussing their chances of winning the de- ciding game of the series for the city cham- pionship. Middleton, the tall, lanky veteran pitcher of the team, brushed suddenly past the weary, downhearted manager, and stepped lightly down the aisle to join his fellow players. “It is tough luck.” sighed Fanning, gazing after the player, “You will never be able to hold those slugging Hawks down this afternoon.” The dejected manager said this not merely because he was dispirited, for he had been in the game for years and was a good judge of players. The Colonials of YVestonville. the team that he had managed for many years was not a champion aggregation, and had risen to be a team which deserved recognition in that city only by in- domitable plugging in all the games they played. The Hawks, a slugging outfit, undisputed champions of Westonville for three successive years, challenged the resourceful Colonials to play a series of games for the championship of the city, upon request of several leading sport fans, who believed Fanning’s team could wrest the honors from them. Fanning’s Colonials won the first game by their grit, and a show of overconfidence on the part of the Hawks. The humiliated Hawks rose to their might in the second game and bom- barded Middleton, the final score being 12 to 2. It was then that wise old Jim Fanning, who had never succeeded in piloting a champion team, which was his greatest ambition, realized that unless he could secure a pitcher capable of holding his own against the Hawks, he would never be able to attain that desirable position. As he sat brooding over this fact, a porter came up and passed him a telegram. Fanning opened the yellow missive and when he had fin- ished reading the few typewritten lines, a smile crossed his drawn countenance. It was a mes- sage from his only son and read: “Was detained by a friend in Harristown so will not arrive home in time to sec- your team in action. Xpur loving son. Dick.” Fanning had sent his son to college where the lad made himself famous as a pitcher on the college nine, and having completed his course of study, he was now returning to his father. He had heard of the series his father’s team was playing in. and hoped to be on hand at the deciding contest. banning, however, was glad that his son would not be present, for he did not wish to have him see his team beaten. The telegram therefore was a relief. “Dick is a fine pitcher.” mumbled the proud father crushing the telegram, “If he were more experienced he would be able to hold his own against any professional outfit, even the Hawks.” Then Fanning’s mind be- came occupied with memories of the many vic- tories his son had won against the strongest college nines in the country. When the train stopped at the ball park. Fan- ning joined the members of the nine and pro- ceeded to enter the grounds. Everything seemed to work mechanically then. The Col- onials donned their uniforms in a club house and began a snappy practice. The Hawks were already on the field practicing and slugging the ball around freely. The selling of tickets soon commenced and the large stands began to fill with scores of enthusiastic rooters. Almost all the population of Westonville turned out to sec the game, for the little city was struck with the baseball fever. An hour before the game a tall, heavy man. of athletic build, stepped up to Fanning, who was watching Middleton, the pitcher, warm up. and tapped him on the shoulder. “You are Fanning, aren’t you?” he asked in an easy tone. “Yes.” answered the manager, surveying him curiously, “What is it you want?” “I want to make a proposition with you.” ex- plained the stranger mysteriously. “I know you need a capable pitcher to win this game and I have the man.” “What!” exclaimed Fanning in pure astonish- ment. “You don’t mean to say you have a good pitcher right on hand now? If you can pro- duce him quickly. I’ll consent to any terms.” “Don’t be in a hurry.” said the stranger easily. “Mv man is in perfect condition to begin the game, for lie warmed up a short time ago.” Who is he?” demanded the excited manager. “He is only a youngster.” explained the stranger. But lie pitches in whirlwind form, a little more experience and his arm will be primed SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 193 for the big league. I am his trainer and we were pasing through this city and happened to learn about the series. I thought that I would give him a chance to pitch against a strong professional team and if you want to use him in the game today you are free to do so. There must be, however, one little agreement in this contract and that is. his identity is to be kept secret, he can assume the name of Smith.” If a carload of money had been dropped at Jim Fanning’s feet he would not have been more surprised than he was when the stranger stated the terms. “Show me the pitcher then,” said Fanning nervously, “and then I can give yqp my answer.” The stranger nodded and raised his hand to- wards the grand stand. A moment later a chap in a spotless white uniform stepped into view and waved to them, lie was a medium sized fellow, of stocky build, but as his cap was pulled down so far over his head the manager was un- able to distinguish his face. “Just get your catcher and judge for your- self.” said the stranger smiling confidently. Fanning summoned Browne, the Colonials’ sturdy backstop, and ordered him to try out the new pitcher. In a few minutes the old manager was thoroughly convinced that the youngster was a big find. “That fellow seems strangely familiar to me,” said the joyful manager to the stranger, “I have seen him pitch some place before, and he is a a coming star.” The time for the game to start soon arrived and the two nines took their positions. The Colonials were first and as the lead off batter stepped to the plate the umpire announced in a. stentorian voice, “batteries for the game to- day are: Hawks. Austin and Blake; Colonials. Smith and Browne.” Smith? Smith?” queried the amazed Col- onial rooters. “What is the grand idea. Fanning, I thought Middleton was going to pitch?” A loud murmuring stole through the packed stands and all necks craned forward to get a glimpse of pitcher Smith. The Colonials were retired in quick order and the Hawks went to bac to blow up the new pitcher midst a great uproar. Far splitting rattles, loud horns, and noisy bands made great confusion, making it plain that the present champions were the general favorites. The mysterious Smith went to the center of the diamond and pitched a few balls to the catcher, Browne. Thousands of curious eyes were riveted on that lone figure for the next few minutes. Standing in a perfect pitching poise he shot the ball across the plate with the speed of a bullet. The multitudes sat hushed for a moment at this fine exhibition of pitching and then the faithful Colonial fans howled with enthusiasm. The Hawk rooters yelled in defiance as Cur- tis, the lead off batter, stepped to the plate. He was one of the heaviest sluggers on the Hawk outfit and had already knocked three home runs in the series. The crowds went wild when the mighty Curtis fanned on the first three balls pitched and the two men that followed did the same. “He is only a kid.” grumbled the angry Hawk batters. “His arm cannot hold out with eight more innings of that kind of pitching.” 'Phis remark did not turn out to be true for the silent Smith continued to baffle the Hawks up to the ninth inning, without a single run being regis- tered against, him. Neither were the Colonials able to score against the opposing pitcher Austin, who was pitching the best game of his career, for the veteran Hawk knew that in Smith, he had a formidable rival and the only way that he could beat him out was to hold the Colonials down and let the game go extra in- nings. Then the strain would begin to show on the less enduring Smith. 'The game continued to be scoreless up to the fourteenth inning and the atmosphere became exceedingly intense with excitement. The mul- titudes. who had cried and shouted themselves hoarse were now silent and only a sigh escaped them when a thrilling play was made. As the Colonials went to bat in the fifteenth, the stranger who had made the contract with Fan- ning, and had then disappeared, now made his reappearance at the bench where Fanning was sitting, sweating with excitement and urging his men to hit the ball in that inning. “Your team must win now or never,” began the stranger firmly, “for I refuse to let my man pitch another ball. He is young and the strain is beginning to show on his arm. If he pitches another inning it will ruin his arm forever.” “But!” protested Fanning, hot-headedly, “You made your agreement and you must keep it. Do you think I care--” “You would sacrifice too much just to win this game.” broke in the stranger, “you do not realize what a brilliant baseball career this young man has before him. or you would not want to ruin him, as you arc about to now. Would you do such a thing, if it were your own son pitching, just for the city championship?” “Ruin my son for the city championship?” snorted Fanning in disgust, “indeed I would not.” After a moment’s hesitation he went on Continued on Page 194 194 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Gallagher, Assistant Manager John A.

The tall scenery moved about, drops went swiftly up into the darkness, other pieces came down, lights flashed, and the sharp shouts of the men on the stage echoed up to the roof as they signalled for the next piece in the scene they were setting. A small ani- mated figure in a white sweater moved quickly about the set. urging, hurrying and exciting the men to greater effort. Behind, the call-boys were descending the iron stairs to summon the actors from their rooms. In a moment the cur- tain would go up on the second act of the play all New York seemed to crowd the theatre to see. The beautifully costumed men and women would move about the stage telling their story to the audience, while behind the scenes the waiting actors and stage hands would converse in hushed whispers. Jim knew. He knew every part of the work done behind the scenes, and loved the work of stage production, even though he was only a sub-assistant manager who thought himself lit- tle better than a stage-hand. Some day he would be something better. At least, he had once dreamed of it. but that was past. Not only FOR THE CITY CHAMPIONSHIP. Continued from Page 193 to say in a choked voice. ‘T am not going to ruin this young man’s future cither. I was a bit excited, that was all. for I am going to retire from the game this season and this was my last great chance to win a championship. You may take your man and go now and give him my congratulations, for he pitched a man’s game.” “You are a wise manager, and made the best decision,” said the stranger, and after shaking hands with him. he secured the young pitcher and departed with him. 'The Colonials made a great effort to score ir. their naif of the inning but failed, and then the tired, baffled, determined Hawks came to bat once more. When the tall, lanky form of Middleton appeared in the pitcher’s box a roar of indignation and surprise broke out from the Colonial rooters. “Come on. Fanning, what is the idea, are you going to throw the game away?” shouted the angry Colonial fans. “We want Smith!” shouted a man with a meg- aphone and at once the bitter crowd took up the protest. “It was of no avail, for Fanning had made his was he deprived of that, but he felt that he had been cheated of this moment he had wanted so much to take part in. It was the first night of the play, when the nerves of all on the stage were stretched to the breaking point bv long weeks of rehearsal. The figure in white had snapped an oath at Jim for a clumsy piece of work and had told him to get out of the theatre. Jim had climbed to this little perch far above the stage to watch the work of staging the play go on without him. A lump came up in his throat and his eyes grew hot with tears. In this frame of mind he sat through the second act and watched the brilliant scenes of the colorful drama unfold to the immense audience. Now t’ne curtain dropped and a roar of applause came from the crowd that sounded like surf on a long beach. Below him they began to tear down the set on the stage ail’d build up the new one. A huge expanse of canvas painted to re- semble a castle wall was pushed from the op- posite side and came to its position as the back piece of the scene. A rope jerked before him and he saw that the piece was to be held up by this cord fastened to the wall. Quickly the properties of the set were placed, the lights changed and all was ready for the third and greatest act of the play. Jim. peering through . Concluded on Page 204 decision. So the jubilant Hawks smashed in a run in due time and won the title for the fourth successive year. The crowds were at first in- clined to jeer Fanning, but when they learned the truth from the members of the Colonial team, they hailed the downcast manager as estonville’s greatest baseball pilot. As he started to leave the grounds a retired baseball manager, he was accosted by the same stranger who had made the contract with him. “I want to talk business with you. Mr. Fan- ning.” he began, smiling pleasantly, “you have handled your team like a wizard this season and deserve a reward.” “Oh, that is nothing.” grumbled Fanning dis- piritedly, “I don’t want any reward. I am through with the game now.” “How would you like to sign up a contract to manage the champion Blue Sox of the big league, for the next few seasons?” asked the stranger ignoring Panning’s discouraging re- mark. “Don’t try to bluff me,” smiled Fanning faintly. “1 am in no mood to take a joke.” “But I am not bluffing.” said the stranger earnestly. “I might as well let you know now Concluded on Page 204 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 195 WHAT THEY THINK.

Library Department Periodicals form an important part of any library. In our High School library we have a section devoted to periodicals. The current numbers arc easily found and the back issues may be obtained by asking for them of the librarian in charge. Periodicals may be classed under two head- ings. monthly and weekly. Under the first, monthly magazines, we have the following:— Current History. Review of Reviews and the World’s Work, all three are excellent periodi- cals. They contain articles on current events that are well written and interesting. The American Cookery will be interesting to the giris in the Domestic Science classes. For those taking a business course, The Sten- ographer. a well arranged magazine, and Sys- tem. a magazine in great demand by the Sales- manship classes as well as other students, are to be found in our library. The National Geographic and Travel concen- trate their attention to travel and description of countries. These two magazines also contain splendid illustrations. Scientific American and the Popular Me- chanics. also monthly periodicals, will be of in- terest to the students taking the scientific course. 'I hese magazines specialize on science and inventions. Of weekly magazines, we have the Literary Digest. Outlook and Independent. These period- icals contain a complete, brief and concise out- line on all current topics, besides valuable in- formation on the latest literature, art and theo- ries. I he Somerville High School has indeed been most fortunate ;n that we have had given to our library periodicals, without which we would be handicapped. Some of these gifts are: American Forestry, American Industries. Sinclair’s Magazine, use- ful to commerce and industry pupils. Besides these magazines we have the Journal of Educa- tion for the teachers. Le Petit Journal, a French paper of current events, is interesting to stud- ents studying French. Start today and become acquainted with the periodicals in our library. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 197 1921 Leonard Milano, Editor George Megathlin, Assistant Editor It is with mingled feelings of regret and pleas- ure that we look forward to graduation; regret, because with the coming of that day we realize that our happy clays at S. H. S. arc about to end; and with pleasure because we shall soon be out in the world, mingling with men, and pre- pared to do our utmost in behalf of this country, the world, humanity, and ourselves. The Senior Class is much indebted to Mr. Arnold Murray, former editor-in-chief of the Radiator, for speaking to the school in behalf of the year book. According to a certain member of our class. Don Miller’s idea of giving a girl a real good time is to take her for a swan-boat ride in the Boston Public Garden. — Just the same there must have been some energy behind Miller’s “cute” little thermometer, or the “mercury” wouldn’t have risen so high. “Who is the belle tonight?” asked she. As they stood on the ballroom floor; He looked around to see. And she speaks to him no more.” Anyone interested in delicious and daintily frosted cake apply to John G-rr-d, — reliable in- formation guaranteed. “So you saw some boys fishing on the Sabbath, young man! Did you do anything to discourage them ?” Rideout: “Yes sir. I stole their bait.” Teacher: “What made the Romans famous?” Pupil: “They understood Latin.” Ed-sl-n (In an art museum) : “What does that B. C. 1087 under that mummy stand for?” Ba-r-f-ldi: “Oh. that’s just the license number of the auto that ran over him.” Yes. everybody has had his ups and downs— but some of us have had so many downs we don’t know what an up looks like. ALL-STAR BASEBALL TEAM Catcher — Saul Biller, the best receiver of his time. Pitcher — Frank Fielder, a wonderful port- sidcr. but relied almost entirely on the bean ball. First base — Henry Weinberger, his perform- ances were full of fire and he made the whole band howl. Second base — Elmer Westlund, nobody ever covered as much ground in one step. Third base — Harvey, the Baker of our school, whose mighty wallops caused currants to grow in Alewifc Brook. Short stop — The only original “Beanie” Simpson. You couldn’t hurt “Beanie” with any missile, excepting on the heel. Right field — John Aloise. he toiled in the field for years. Center field — Captain Rideout, a wily vet- eran of the game and master of winning tactics. Left lieid — Harold Stevens, rather conceited, but a mighty hitter, with a club as big as a rail- road tie. Coach at first — Seth Weeks, whose voice could be heard ten miles away. Coach at third — Irving Edlcstein, a brilliant orator. Mascot — “Bob” Way. how he could hustle with the drinks at a league game. Manager — Solomon, whose wisdom made him the Pat Moran of the school. Umpire — George Hcmcon, with the three- fold shield, the Irish Shamrock. 198 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Lynch: “Whv is the water at the foot of Niag- ara Falls green?” Ilemcon: “Because it has just come over.” A question for the biology student. — When a man is digging clams, is he farming or fishing?

A feature of the game was the pitching of Wickerson, who struck out eighteen men. Odams, of Medford, pitched a fine game, but costly errors by his mates and hard hitting by Somerville spelled defeat for the home team.

Newton broke the tie existing between them and Somerville for second place in the Sub- urban League standing, by defeating the Red and Blue outfit with a score of 5-3. Up to the eighth inning the game was a tie. In this inning the Orange and Black registered two runs. A decision of umpire Knowlton in the third inning was bitterly contested by the home team and resulted in coach McLaughlin playing the remaining innings under protest. After care- ful consideration it was decided in the interests of good sportsmanship for which our school has always stood, to drop the protest. It is to be hoped that no other school in the league will be imposed on by an official as Somerville was in this game. 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIA FOR Newton ............0 2 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 — 5 Somerville ........20 0 0 1 0000 — 3 Runs — Lynch, Gilkcy, Byrnes, Crarinen, Murphy, Garrity 2.

In the first inning, which lasted thirty-five minutes, Somerville brought in five runs. Lynch, the star Red and Blue outfielder, was hit on the eye by a fly-ball and required the services.of a physician. It is expected he will be back in the line up in a week or two. Wickerson showed excellent form, striking out seventeen men and allowing Everett only five hits. Hall of Everett was knocked out of the box in the first inmng, being replaced by Munroe, who had poor control but had a lot of “stuff” on the ball.

AFTER FIVE YEARS The college man has added business experience to the mental training he received in college, and he usually outstrips the non-college man. Northeastern College School of Commerce and Finance has a unique plan by which a man enters college and business simultaneously—he earns while he learns.

A moment later the young pitcher Smith stepped up to Fanning and pulled oil' his cap. “My boy! Dick,” sobbed the tired but happy manager embracing his son in a fatherly way, “so you were the mysterious Smith who pitched today?” “I am the same person, father.” confessed the beaming Dick and in a few minutes he had ex- plained everything to his puzzled father. On his journey home from the college, he had met President Irving, who offered him a posi- tion on the Blue Sox outfit of the big league. He had eagerly consented and then when they were nearing Westonvillc, he had planned a sur- prise for his father. To remove all suspicion he had sent the fake telegram. “Our plans did not come out the way we wished them to.” said the president. “if 1 had had a few good hitters the game would have been mine easily,” acknowledged Fanning. “1 know it.” smiled the president, “and if you sign your contract with the Blue Sox, you won’t have to worry anymore about weak hitters. With a bunch heavy hitters behind your son’s pitching, you can pilot many champion outfits.” ‘1'11 sign the contract,” said the old manager joyfully. GALLAGHER, ASSISTANT MANAGER. Continued from Page 194 the innumerable wires and ropes before him. was centering his whole attention on the words and movements of the actors. Suddenly he was attracted by something moving close to his face. The guy rope for the big scene passed across within his arms reach, and as he looked, he saw it begin to unravel at a point where the strain had parted a strand. He reached out and grasped the end just as it broke. A tre- mendous jerk nearly pulled him over the edge, lie could not fasten the rope to anything, the weight was nearly unsupportablc. but the scene must stand at all costs. The act was only half over. Slowly he knelt and then laid down on the edge, still holding the rope. His arms seemed to be pulling from their sockets, the play dragged slowly on. His body and brain grew numb under the strain and the actors' Concluded on Page 206 GRADUATION SUlTsl OF ALL WOOL BLUE SERGE Boys’Suits - - $10.00 to $18.00 Long Trouser Suits $22.50 to $29.50 GRADUATION DRESSES OF ORGANDIE and GEORGETTE $10.95 $22.50 HARVARD BAZAR CENTRAL SQUARE CAMBRIDGE School of Engineering of Northeastern College CLASS IX THE ELECTRICAL LABORATORY.

Then he dimly perceived the downward rush of the cur- tain. the brightening flash, of lights, and heard the roar of applause. Strong hands released him of the great burden just as all went black. Jim opened his eyes on a couch in a tiny dressing room. The white sweater of the man- ager bent over him. “Jim. boy, you saved the play.

The staff realizes that the paper could not exist without the school, and heartily appreciates the generous and hearty sup- port that the school has given, not only during the subscription drive of last October, not only at the Radiator Dance, not only during the strug- gle to publish this issue, but throughout the school year. When the call for subscriptions came last October SI.000 were received: when the Radiator Dance was held. 400 attended : when the call came for the Seniors’ dollars, all but ten were paid, and when the big drive for subscrip- tions for the Year Book came off, nearly eighty per cent, of the school subscribed! That is the kind of school spirit and loyalty that counts! We extend to every member of the Class of 1921 our best wishes for future success, whether college c r business be the choice. The Radiator Staff expresses its gratitude to its Faculty members. Miss Merrill and Mr. Hos- tile� -. Advisor and Treasurer respectively. 1 hey have been untiring in their efforts to guide and assist the staff in its work, and wise counsel and sound advice have always been forthcoming when needed. Our Business Manager has let nothing escape him on the road to High Finance. Congratula- tions on a splendid piece of work. Miller! If we had the power we would give a happy and profitable summer to every teacher and pupil in the school. Such as we have, however, we offer most heartily, our good wishes. The Staff appreciates the interest and work of the Art Department throughout the year. We are especially indebted to Miss Bradford and to- Clinton Minor who made the thermometer and submitted a cover design. It seems but a short while ago that the Radi- ator staff of 1920-1921 issued its first call for ma- terial. It seems but a short while ago that our subscription drive was held.—to which the school responded so generously. It seems as if out- work had been performed in a few weeks, yet we have been toiling through nine long months. It does not seem possible that our work on the Radiator is done, that we will never publish another issue. Yet it is true. As we look back over the issues of the year, we discover that our most conspicuous faults are in the lack of notes of real school interest in the class columns, and in the scarcity of good stories. Ye hope that next year’s staff may profit by our mistakes and shortcomings and turn out a much better paper. It is with mingled feelings of relief and regret that the staff completes its work for the year. Relief in that we are freed of the responsibility, and regret in that we part company from the Radiat- r as from an old and valued friend. 10 RADI A T O R Y E A R B O O K The Answer to the Question THE IVY ORATION. Harry Stanley Smith, 1921 I'- United States of America is now at one of the most critical periods in her short but brilliant history. Reckless extravagance followed the war. Relieved from the anx- iety of war the nation, as a whole lavished its money in amusement and self-grati- fication without a thought as to the end of such Bacchanalian revelry. The inevitable reaction lias come, in 1920, the United States Govern- ment wthdrew millions of dollars from circula- tion. Men are now in need of the money which they so rashly spent Thousands, of unemployed men daily walk the streets and frequent city parks, regretting the fact that they were drawn into that giddy whirlpool of extravagance. In this perilous situation of affairs, the nation must have leaders capable of readjusting the prevailing condition , leaders who can restore the peace and calm of the days before the war. leaders who can restore the sound basis of com- mercial and political affairs. Whether this na- tion under God shall continue to hold firm to the sturdy foundations upon which its life began, or like Babylon. Athens, and Rome, be found want- ing at this critical moment, depends upon the guidance and judgment of its leaders. Whence shall they come? The terror of the ignorant and illiterate mul- titude far surpassed the “Yellow Peril” and many other dangers now threatening our nation. A foreign enemy can be attacked in battle and re- pelled from our shores, but the uneducated ami unenlightened mass which is ignorant concern- ing the institutions of this country is a force to Be feared. That force will increase and gather strength and gnaw into the very vitals of this nation. What has this mass been taught concerning political and economic affairs? Little if any- thing. The ignorance of the people makes them the prey of the skillful and unprincipled man who does their thinking for them to gain his own •ends. In a last analysis it is not the unenlight- •ened immigrant whom the nation must fear, but the one man who. by his pleadings, bribes and promises can guide the ignorant as a shepherd •dog does a flock of timid lambs, ever urging and threatening. Since the days of Julius Ca«esar the fickle masses, as we call them, have ever been at the mercy of the unprincipled leader. The uneducated man although dissatisfied with present conditions may ponder over and discuss his grievances, but lacks the ability to make his grumblings heard beyond his own circle of com- panions. But the cunning, educated and un- scrupulous man who united these grumblers into one body large and powerful enough to threaten and overturn the normal order of affairs is the man from whom the government must protect itself. rile mind of the immigrant must be in- formed and uplifted so that he can understand and appreciate the institutions of the United States of America— Americanization ! During the year of strife just passed this word was a slogan. It must net like many war-time meas- ures be dropped from the curriculum of the ed- ucational forces of this nation. Only by educat- ing the masses can this government defend it- self. Education is the only preparedness for conditions and problems yet to come. The en- lightened immigrant must become the nation’s bulwark against Socialism. Radicalism, and Bol- shevism that the United States may avoid such catastrophes as take place frequently in Mexico, Russia and wherever the majority of people are ignorant. Emulation is always a strong factor with Americans. Americans hate to be surpassed in anything. At the beginning of the war. we found Germany had been working, planning, and preparing a military machine which would as- tound the world with its scientific weapons and devices. Upon our entrance into the war. we, too. began girding our loins for a conflict horri- ble and bloody. We began to retaliate with the same weapons which Germany had been prepar- ing for forty years. If we can believe the re- ports of scientists, the American Army had. on the- day the Armistice was signed, a gas more deadly than any thus far employed by the Huns. We had accomplished this in our short period of preparation. Germany, remember, had been studying the same thing for forty years. With simiiar examples as proof, we are now prone to believe that we can be the scientific nation of the world. Today the cry is “Education for Sci- ence !” “Education for Efficiency!” But was not this the cause of Germany’s downfall? Ed- ucation of the brain lacking education of the RADI A TOR YEAR BOOK II heart, the lust of power minus any thought of the brotherhood of man. Education for leader- ship must be of the broadest possible type. The value derived from the study of the (.‘las- sies for several years has been questioned and debated. In the early days of High Schools, there were no commercial courses. Latin. Greek, Ger- man. French, Sciences, and Mathematics held sway. But recently Typewriting, Shorthand. Bookkeeping, etc., all vital studies commercially have been arrayed against the Classics. Few colleges now absolutely demand Latin in their entrance examinations, fewer still. Greek. It seemed that the Classics were doomed. Yet the World War brought forth amazing results in favor of the Classics. France fought with the endurance of a tiger against the onrushing hordes of Teutons. We admire the fiery patriotism of the French. Why have they this undying patriotism? Educators say that France has had the best system of ed- ucation of any modern country. Whether or not this be true, it is a well-known fact that the French, have been taught to die for a worthy cause, a lofty ideal. With such high thoughts the spirit of France can never be crushed al- though its armies be driven to the end of the earth. English public schools have been, without question, far below the standard. Its private schools which are called public are known the world over. But the term public school in Eng- land does not mean without expense to the pupil as in our own dear land. Harrow. Rugby, and Eaton are famous. Every boy who attended a school in England was forced to study industri- ously the Classics. At the beginning of the war, the loss of officers in the British Expeditionary Forces was appalling. Why? The British of- ficers were of the aristocracy who had been ed- ucated in England. Unarmed, as the custom was then, cane in hand, they fearlessly paced the ramparts of the trenches, encouraging their men themselves a prey to the enemies’ rifles. Did they not know the lives and speeches of the great Spartan. Trojan, Greek, and Roman war- riors who held it cowardly to flinch in time of danger? Did they not know that a second Mar- athon was being fought? The American troops fought for an ideal. They crossed the ocean as the Crusaders crossed the Hellespont and the Dardanelles and fought not for glory, but to save Western Civilization from under the iron gauntlet and mailed fist. What gave this spirit to the Yankee soldiers? Was it not the teachings of the members of Grand Army of the Republic, who every Memorial day cited deeds of bravery and pleaded with the school children to follow the “Stars and Stripes” wherever it might lead? Was it not the cel- ebration of American holidays that inspired the patriotic spirit of the enlisted man? Was it not the history of his country? A liberal education is the training that each student as a coming citizen should receive. Such an education enables one to see beyond the nar- row horizon which immediately surrounds him. Today is the day of the specialist. Indeed, one has to be a specialist of some kind in order that he can earn his livelihood. But in preparation for our special line of endeavor all other matter should not be ignored and cast aside. Special study should not he begun with any degree of concentration until a liberal education has been gained. Thus a student will have all the facts- of general education to bring to bear upon his life work. A liberal education embraces the development of the physique, the brain, and the heart and soul. Upon that great triangle rests the future safety of the nation. I he too early choice of a vocation is a menace. It narrows the mind until it forbids the entrance of even a related subject. Dr. Charles W. Par- menter. long connected with the Boston public schools, says: “The high school of the future will not be guided by the false philosophy that enthrones utility and destroys idealism, but by idealizing the educational agencies that touch the daily life of the great masses of men. it will give to strug- gling humanity new joy and vision. It will rightly regard as a menace to demo- cracy the educational philosophy that encour- ages early choice of vocation and furnishes nar- row and special training that has little transfer- able value when improved economic conditions, aroused ambitions or a new outlook make a change of occupation desirable. All education should be conceived and formulated not in terms of industrial or economic autocracy but in terms- of steadily advancing democracy.” The education of no American youth is com- plete or even worthy unless it embodies within it the great principle of the forefathers that true citizenship recognizes alike duty to God and to one’s fellowmen. Previous to the war. the future of every Ger- man youth was decided upon when he was eight years old. He was educated in that chosen line whether or not it was suitable for him. He fitted into that great Teutonic machine like a liny cog in an engine. He knew nothing except his own vocation. But he knew enough to understand Continued on page 90 STUDENTS’ COUNCIL RADIATOR YEAR BOOK IS RADIATOR STAFF Mr. Hosmcr Higgins Rowe Miller Miss Sweet Miss Buck Miss Crmvys Miss Freeman Miss Brownell Dunbar Holmbcrg Miss Rood 41 o ✓V co O O y KADI A T O R Y E A I- BOOK' ir History of the Class of 1921 X tlie autumn of the year 1917. there wandered into the Somerville High School, a rather curious group of boys and girls. They looked about for a little while and decided to re- main. Brilliant though they were, a possibility that they might acquire ideas, so they became the Freshmen of that year. For a while it was a period of readjustments. They entered the school with a feeling of vast importance but after a short stay they became convinced that their knowledge and also their importance were both very small. Slowly, they became active members in the scheme of High School activities. Crude Freshmen’ gradually changed to happy Sophomores. Now they could hold their heads up. for they had passed the crucial test. As Sophomores, they tried the novel plan of a class election. The following were chosen as the rep- resentatives : there was some new 1 larrv Smith Annie Milne Everett Reid, Kathrvn Buck President Vice-President Treasurer. Secretarv These officers served them during the year with the exception of treasurer. His position became vacant and Warren Gilkey was elected to till the vacancy. Sophomores naturally became Juniors. As Juniors there was a daring tendency to relax. They felt that they had studied and worked hard during their Sophomore year and that it was now time to rest. However, they soon learned that to see a mountain is not to reach its sum- mit. so they gathered their forces and marched forward under the following leaders: Harry Smith Gladys Johnston George Coyne Kathrvn Buck President. Vice-President. Treasurer. Secretary. In their Junior year dramatic art made its ap- peal. To display the talent of the class and to arouse the envy of classes less gifted, a piay was staged. It was directed by our able leader, Miss Bell, and it proved a great success. After the play, the next event in order of im- portance was Junior Night. Laura Cruwys. Doris Hall and Randall Coyne were the com- mittee chosen. Their work and the co-operation of the class resulted in an enjoyable evening for tlu Juniors and their guests. Now the road grew narrower, the goal was in sight, and the members of Class of 1921 be- came Seniors. It was a grand and glorious feel- ing! They had stormed the heights and had al- most reached the top. The last class represen- tatives were ready to be chosen. Candidates for the highest honors of the school and class appeared on the scene. On a miniature scale th•• Seniors engaged in the great game of American politics. There was animated rivalry and strenuous campaigning. Very formal was the balloting which took place at the regular booths in the Cummings School. The thrill of a real election was in the air. The day following, the bulletin reported the following results: George Coyne President Doris Hall Vice-President W arren Gilkey Treasurer Kathryn Buck Secretary. As Seniors they felt a closer relation with the facility and the school. Between work on the Year Book, the exchange of photographs and the inscribing of autographs it was a busy time. Of course, lessons were still popular and scholarship soared high. Senior Night the following committee served: Ethel Benson. James MacIntyre and Frank Murray. When they received their diplomas they felt that four happy years had been spent within the walls of the Somerville High School. They were years made especially happy through the kindness, earnestness and faithfulness of loyal, clever and devoted teachers. George K. Coyne. ’21.

As we were new to the school we had no class government that year, but we took part in every activity of the school. We were represented as a class on the Student Council by Harold Quail and Lemuel Rogers. We contributed members to the various athletic teams and became very prominent that first year. 1919- 1920 In the Fall of 1919 our membership doubled and we were then a class of one thousand mem- bers. The increase in membership was due to the abolition of the Freshman Class in High School, so, consequently, the graduates of the Junior High Schools came directly into the Sophomore Class. Last year we organized as a class and elected the following officers: President, Lemuel J. Rogers. Vice-President, Alice McGrath. Secretary, Bernice Parker. Treasurer, Harold Quail. Editor, H. Paul Bennett. Assistant Editor, Wilbur Stanley. We were represented on the Student Council by the class officers and the following chairmen of room proctors: Herbert Sprague, Francis Sullivan, John Maloney, and Frances Symonds. We sent Pierce, Kclliher, and MacPhail to the Champion football team and to the champion baseball team, Currier, Crandcll, Kclliher, Byrnes, and Wickerson. As Sophomores we held a dance and from the proceeds we started our Class of 1922 treasury which, with the dues of each member, formed a nucleus on which we could draw in time of need. We were again prominent in school ac- tivities and recognized as a class that meant something to the school. 1920-1921 This year we came back to school as Juniors, numbering about seven hundred and fifty, and early in October elected the following class offi- cers : President. Lemuel J. Rogers. Vice-President, Alice McGrath. Secretary. Elinor Martin. Treasurer, Harold Quail. Immediately after election plans were made for a class play with Marion De Witt chairman of the Junior Play Committee. We contributed, members to the football team and the following worthily represented us: Buckley, Knibbs. Marmaud, Kclliher, Sandstrom, Caldcroni, McKilvcv and MacPhail. At present we are represented on the baseball team by Kcl- liher. MacPhail. Crandell. Goodwin. Currier, Buckley, Campbell and Wickerson. Our Junior Play. “At the End of the Rain- bow,” proved successful, and those who took part are to be congratulated. We certainly had a “full house” that night. Our “Junior Night” proved successful, under the direction of Robert MacPhail. Marion l)c Witt, and Anna Keating, of the Junior Night Committee. While the offi- cers and committees did much toward the suc- cess of the Junior play and Junior Night, we must thank and re-thank Miss Bell for her ef- forts. Juniors, the year closing brings us to the end of three successful years, and it is our hope that we shall all return next year determined to study and be of benefit to the school and community. Let all of us who intend to go to a higher insti- tution bend our efforts to one thing, namely, our books. Lemuel J. Rogers, President. 72 Y E A R BOOK R A I) I A '1' O R EDWARD L. HAM, President ELIZA BETH TIBBETTS Vice-President 1923 CLAIRE TUCKB Secretary EDWARD HURLEY Treasurer RADI A T O R YEAR P. OOK 7:5 History of the In tlu- early days of September. 1920. six hun- dred and seventy boys and iris made their first appearance before the doors of tlie Somerville High School, and clamored for admission. They were young and small, but full of ambition, and soon formed themselves into the organized class of 1923. At first, many of the newcomers were com- pletely lost in the unfamiliar halls and corridors, but with the heh) of paternal upper-classmen and a key to the arrangement of the rooms, they at length became acquainted with the buildings, and settled down to work. A few weeks later, the class elections were held, and resulted in the selection of the following officers for the year: President. Edward Hall. Vice-President, Elizabeth Tibbetts. Secretary, Claire Tucke. Class of 1923 Treasurer. Harry Hurley. Editor, Richard Walsh. Assistant Editor, Stanley Teele. L’p to this time, our class treasury possessed no funds, but since it was deemed advisable that a class like ours should have a substantial treas- ury, a successful afternoon dance was run by the class. Then, at our first class meeting, the ques- tion of the amount of class dues was brought up, and settled at twenty-five cents. We have two more years in the school, and wc intend 1 ■ live up to the good reputation that we have earned in our first year, and hope that we may reflect credit upon the Somerville High School and upon ourselves.

RADI A TOR Y K A R BOOK 75 CLASS EDITORS AND YEAR ROOK COMMITTEES ORCHESTRA RADI A TOR Y E A R 77 BOOK The Somerville High School Orchestra In the year 1911 the English and Latin schools were united to form the Somerville High School. The same year the first Somerville High School orchestra was organized. The orchestra was divided into two sec- tions. one the Senior and the other the Freshman orch- estra. The reason for this was that at the time the Upper classmen attended school in the morning, while the Freshmen had their session in the afternoon. The following year, a change was made in the program of the school which allowed the two orchestras to be combined forming a single unit. The orchestra played for many school affairs but did not give its first annual concert until 1915. From that date up to the present time a concert has been given in the High School Auditorium some time during the mouths of May or June. Last year the orchestra gave two concerts in Allsion beside the regular High School concert. During the past year the Somerville High School orchestra has given three concerts for the benefit of tbe Northern, the Southern and Western Junior High Schools. Smaller groups selected from the orchestra have played on numerous occasions, including a ban- quet given in honor of Frederic W. Cook; a meeting of the Teachers’ Club, a meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the installation of officers of the American Legion. The full orchestra played also for the Parent Teachers’ Association meeting and later for the Girls’ Debate. 1st Violins Arinin G. Clement.

Meetings have been held regularly, and a lively interest has been shown by all the members. The prin- cipal event of the year was a week’s outing at John Garrod’s camp on Post Island. The Club is well represented in school activities and each member has to his credit an active part in one or more of the diderent school functions. Although most of the members are Seniors, and will be separated next year, the Highland Club will be maintained and meetings will be held at conven- ient intervals during the year. ALPHA THETA PI The Alpha Theta Pi Sorority, organized in 1916. from its beginning pledged itself to stand for all that was best in the Somerville High School. From a charter membership of seven. Alpha Theta Pi has grown to an active membership of the twenty-four following sisters: Kathcryn Buck, president; Beatrice Sweet, vice-pres- ident; Hazel Freeman, secretary; Laura Cru- wys, treasurer; Leonore Atkins, Penrose Brown, Evangeline Buckley, Phillis Brownell. Marion Chute, Dorothy Grimes. Elizabeth Lowe. Rae Hunt, Ruth Rood, Eleanor Beedle. Dorothy Drew. Gladys Dick, Marian Hesse, Elinor Mar- tin. Lydia Marion. Wilhelmine Muller. Mildred Nickerson. Evelyn Osgood. Mary Rood. Florence Wilbur with Miss Sprague and Miss Bell of the faculty. Of our thirteen members of the Senior Class, we wish to congratulate our sisters Phyllis Brownell. Laura Cruwvs. Hazel Freeman and Beatrice Sweet who graduate with honors. In the line of social functions this year, in ad- dition to several bungalow parties, the annual dance was held at Meincmann’s on February 3rd. The annual banquet took place at the Hotel Vcndome. To those of Class 1921. many of whom intend to enter higher institutions, the Sorority extends its best wishes for their success in the future. As a closing word, we wish one and all a most pleasant summer’s vacation. THE ALPHA ZETA PHI FRATERNITY The Alpha Zeta Phi Fraternity has passed through its fifth successful year. Three dances have been held in the Beach Street Bungalow. On May 13. a “Good Luck Party” was held there, which everyone agreed was the best oc- casion of the year. January 27. a large number attended the annual dance given at the Heine- mann House. It will be a long time before those who attended the annual banquet, Decem- ber 13. will forget that night. Over Memorial day. our members spent their vacation in camp, at Littleton, Mass. Our Senior members, since they will leave the school this year, desire to ex- press their gratitude for all that the school has done for them, and will always stand ready to help the faculty in any endeavor which it may undertake. GAMMA ETA KAPPA Gamma Eta Kappa began her activities this year with a small dance on October 8. 1920, at the Fitzedward Bungalow. The annual Christ- mas Dance at lleinemann House, December 27. 1920, was the usual success. On April 15, 1921. a Minstrel Show was presented in High School Hall. This was a new departure for Gamma Eta Kappa, and took the place of the cabaret that has been held for the last few years. A private dance on June 10. 1921. ended the activi- ties for one of the best years that Gamma Eta Kappa has had. KAPPA ALPHA PI The Gamma Alpha Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Pi National Fraternity has completed a most successful year, both financially and other- wise. As far as school activities are concerned. Kappa has had a large representation. Not only do we pride ourselves in having had many athletes but also in having had George Coyne as President of tlie class of ’21. It is the great- est honor that a class could bestow on any pupil and we still feel proud of him'.' Robert Shea, of the Junior class, represented us on the debating team. We boast of having had many athletes as well. The following Kappas have received their letters in the various branches of sport: Francis Chase. Randall Coyne. Daniel Kelliher. Edward Burns, Robert Buckley and Frank Crandell. The Kappas of the Senior Class extend their thanks to the teachers of the school for their wise advice and guardianship. J. U. K. d his year has been pleasant and profitable for the members of J. I'. K. J. U. K. is not a soror- ity or purely social club; its aim is to help the 82 RADIATOR Y E A R BOO K needy. Its members gave a big: Thanksgiving Day dinner and provisions for two weeks to a worthy family of seven and remembered the same family at Christmas time with a Holiday dinner and provisions and gifts in the form of clothing. The club members sold candy and conducted a dance in order to raise funds to pro- vide Christmas-checr boxes for wounded soldiers at Parker Mill Hospital. Recently they gave at Grantanbrv Hall a J. L K. May party which was a very pretty and pleasing climax to the year’s work, 'flic girls of J. U. K—Gladys French. Adelaide Greene, Emily Wright. Mildred Black. Dorothy Packard, Florence Wilbur, Paula Heald. Lois Abells. Frances Knibbs. Ethel Ricker. Mil- dred Mason and Marian Hesse take this oppor- tunity to wish the Faculty and pupils of Somer- ville High School a most pleasant vacation. OMICRON PI SIGMA Psi Chapter of Omicron Pi Sigma Fraternity is now five years old and its roll of membership is constantly growing. At the present time, over one hundred graduates of the Somerville High School are wearing the O. P. S. Pin. New chap- ters are being established throughout the entire country. The “Omicron,” the fraternity paper, has for its watchword. Co-operation. We are endeavoring to strengthen our bro- therhood on the sturdy foundations upon which it had its birth. Many members of the fraternity will graduate with the Class of 1921. To those who are to en- ter higher institutions or to face the business world. Psi wishes the “best o’ luck.” During the past year, our social events have been successful, thereby strengthening the bond of union between the members of Oyiicron Pi Sigma and their friends. We must now say “an revoir” to the Somer- ville High School. For some of us perhaps it is “adieu.” But whether or not we ever return to it, we shall always cherish it in our hearts as the institution where true friendship was founded. PHI ALPHA Nineteen twenty-one completes the twenty- third successful year of Phi Alpha. Four dances have been held, the first a bungalow party in November, and the usual one during the Christ- mas vacation. A small dance was given in March at the Fit .edward bungalow, and the an- nual dance at Hcinemann’s on April 4 was well attended. The present members have enjoyed the customary six luncheons. Initiation took place the last three weeks of May, and the following members for 1921-1922 were taken in; Lillian Andrews. Marion De- Witt. Natalie Hailwood. Helena Lincoln. Ruth- ven Parker. Eleanor Youlden. Phi Alpha extends to the new faculty mem- bers. Miss Brown and Miss Bowker. its sincer- est thanks for their constant helpfulness during the past year. SIGMA KAPPA ALPHA Sigma Kappa Alpha is closing a most success- ful year. Our members are prominent in all school activities; Glee Club. Students’ Council, and Debating Team. The opening dancing party took place in Oc- tober at Fitzcdward Bungalow. Later on in the season another dancing party was held at Gran- tanbry Bungalow, many of the older members making the evenings enjoyable for all. A large Christmas party was held at Chev- crus Mali, December twenty-third. On February third Sigma Kappa Alpha held her Annual Banquet at Hotel Westminster. The closing social event of the year was a for- mal dancing party held the latter part of May at Heinemann Academy. This year Sigma Kappa Alpha has added to her sisterhood eleven new members whom we feel confident arc able to carry on the work of their twelve sisters who are graduating. The officers of the coming year are Anna Keating, president; Margaret Murray, vice- president ; Frances Swinehamer. secretary; and Alice Scanlon, treasurer. The Sorority extends to the faculty and pu- pils of S. 11. S. its sincere wishes for a most en- joyable vacation. THETA SIGMA DELTA With many thanks to the pupils of this school who have upheld us in our parties and dances, we have completed our twelfth successful year as a fraternity in the Somerville High School. I he first dance of the season was held at the Fitzcdward Bungalow. September. 1920. It was an enjoyable affair and every one present had a very pleasant evening. I wo banquets were held at the fraternity rooms in the Studio Building. Davis Square. A farewell party was given to one of our brothers “Buster Cutter.” Somerville High School grad- uate of 1919, when he left for the western states to fill an important position. This affair was at- tendee! by fully forty members of the fraternity, and the faculty members. Mr. Sprague and Mr. Hayward, were also present.

RADI A T O I- Y E A R BOOK 85 CIKLS’ BASKET-BALL TEAM 9S Nooa H V 3 A H'OXVIQ V H Y E A R ROOK 87 R A D I A T O R GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION At a meeting of the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion held at the beginning of the school year 1920-21. the following officers were elected: Elsie Jacobsen, president: Marion Gaddis, vice- president. and Helen Peters, secretary. In a campaign for membership which fol- lowed. about three hundred girls were enrolled. During the year groups of girls have partici- pated in various activities: basketball, baseball, hiking, swimming, skating and tennis. The basketball season was very successful this year. The girls practiced every Wednes- day at the Y. M. C. A., with Miss Porter coach- ing. Pour class teams were formed: a Senior team with Elsie Jacobsen, captain: a Junior team with Elizabeth Pike, captain; and two First-Year teams with Rena Josie and Grace Eigved, captains. A tournament of class games was played during the season for championship, the Senior team winning. We played only two outside games losing one to the Boston V'. Y. C. A., by a score of 23 to 9. and winning one from the Somerville Y. M. C. A.. 32 to 9.' The following Senior girls were awarded let- ters: Marion Gaddis. Theda Dole. Alice Morgan. Marjory Creighton. Edna Tuttle. Elsie Jacob- sen. Elizabeth Williams, and Edith Simonds After the basketball season, the Association introduced baseball. Although many of the girls had never played baseball before, they en- joyed it. Owing to the lack of tennis courts, there has been very little tennis this year. Many girls are interested in the sport, and teams will be formed as. soon as possible. A hiking club was. organized in the High School and Junior High Schools. The Junior High School girls were very enthusiastic about the hikes and responded in large numbers. Field hockey teams were formed in the Junior High Schools. We hope that they will form a sub- stantial nucleus next year for the High School Girls’ Athletic Association. FOOT-BALL LETTER MEN. 1920 Kelliher. Gilkcy, McKelvie. Caldarone. Chase.

Such was the scheme and plan of Germany’s efficiency. Each youth lived in a world .whose horizon was pressing upon him and crushing out his very ex- istence. The French, English and Americans, lovers of freedom, would perish under such a system. They have not been trained from boyhood to have but one aim in life, and to rejoice in mil- itary pomp and splendor, but like the Greeks who love sports, music, and art. they were able to turn that rush of barbarians from beyond the Rhine, as the Greeks met and conquered the warlike nations of Asia Minor at the Battle of Marathon. We as citizens of the United States of Amer- ica have a patrimony, resplendent, great, and il- lustrious. the envy of every nation great and small. The history of the United States, though short, is brilliant with sacrifices and victories both foreign and internal. What nation can boast finer national heroes ' than Washington. Henry. Lincoln, and Roosevelt? Cannot the stand of the Minute Men at Concord and the stand of the American troops at Chateau Thiery School 1922—Girls Abells.

Golden Opportunity awaits us. The future safety of the United States of America depends upon the educational forces of this nation. The history and literature of this country inspires its sons and daughters to produce again men like Washington, Franklin, Henry, Lincoln and Roosevelt. The forty-eight stars in our flag may well stand for Humanity, Justice. Loyalty, Purity and forty-five other attributes of citizenship. The future of that flag depends upon the manner in which this government checks ignorance and en- lightens the masses of men. Let us not then educate for a vocation alone. Let us not become narrow-minded specialists And fall into the pitfalls which have shattered the Imperial German Empire. Let us so study the history and literature not only of our country but the world that we can know how better to cherish, iovc and serve this grand heritage of every American, our country, the United States of America. Let us prize her free institutions, and in all our lives, let us act from a firm belief that as in the past so in the present, and for all time. Education is not only the hope but the crowning glory of the United States. Directory Brennan, Ethel C, 5 Maine Terrace. Brcsnahan. Elizabeth C, 775 Somerville Avc.
