30. 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-
