20 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1923 John Holmes, Temporary Editor This is the first public appearance of the Class of 1923 and “you’d scarce expect one of our age” to speak with great brilliancy at our initial per- formance. We need time to get acquainted with ourselves and with the names and customs of the school. As we gather experience and wis- dom our little column will sparkle with wit and laughter. Meanwhile, it needs support and a few good notes from every member of the class. The members of the Class of 1923 express their deep sorrow at the death of their friend and classmate, Walter Williams. They extend their utmost sympathy to his parents and rela- tives. Freshmen are not expected to be fresh; merely green and tender. We know that Pratt is the class comedian without an election. Mr. Wilkins: “What’s the matter with you?” Morrill: “Nothing!” Modest boy! Teacher: “What case is Galliam?” Pupil: “Accusative, because it takes the abla- tive.” John Wells, 321. is a member of the second football team. Perseverance.

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.
