'24 (Pro tern) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Wo of the 1921-1922 Radiator Staff make our initial bow to you. our readers, with courage and hope. YVe believe that “plain good intention.” which we promise you. plus your cordial support, «encouragement and help, will carry the Radiator from its present standpoint to a higher level. We •oficr as our slogan for the coming year: ADVANCE! The Radiator, emulating the example of its esteemed contemporary, the Somerville Journal, in its “Strong Men Series” of a few years ago. Avill publish, from time to time, a sketch of ■graduates of earlier and of recent years who have reached special distinction. The subject for this month is Mr. Royal B. Farnum, S. E. H. S.. 1902. Royal B. Farnum, principal of the Massachu- setts Normal Art School and director of art education by the State Department of Education, was born in Somerville, June 11. 1884. and is the •son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel S. Farnum, of 21 Walter street. He is a graduate of the Edgcrly Grammar School. 1898. and the Somerville High School. 1902. He graduated from the Massa- chusetts Normal Art School in 1900. studied in connection with the International Art Congress at London in 1908 and gave special attention to manual arts at the International Art Conference at Dresden in 1912. He then toured Italy. Ger- many and Belgium. He taught in summer .school in Knoxville. Tennessee. 1907-1909. and svas teacher in the Chautauqua Summer School for many years, later becoming head of the art «department, from which he resigned in 1920. Mr. Farnum was director of the normal depart- ment. Cleveland School of Art. until 1910: for nine years State Director of Art Education and Manual Training in the elementary, secondary training and normal schools of the state of New York, and since 1919 in his present position. The college seals in the Commissioners' Room of the State Education Building of New York were painted bv Mr. Farnum.

Watch for next month’s Radiator! These articles will interest you. 'Hie Somerville High School is proud of these graduates. Will she be proud of you? Seniors! Do you realize that this is your last year in the Somerville High School, and that you are now on the “home stretch”? If you had the opportunity to begin again, would you do differ- ently from what you have done? Think it over! Remember, there is still time -to accomplish much. 7 l$aA«t«rr V3 213000 SOMERVTLLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Support all your school activities with all the school spirit you possess. Do not neglect your studies, for. after all. arc they not the reason you are here? Work for the debating clubs, and let’s produce a champion team. Support the Orchestra, the Glee Clubs and the other musical organizations. Work to bring honor, praise and recognition to your school. Seniors! This is your year! Make it a memorable one. Enjoy it! The Radiator extends a cordial welcome to the new members of the faculty and to the Class of 1924. and wishes a happy and prosperous year to all. It is hoped that the pupils of the Class of 1924 will co-operate with the upper classes and the faculty in making the school year of 1921-1922 a banner year. The new pupils can materially assist by observing the school rules. While these rules may seem unnecessary to you now. they have proven, by experiment with classes like yours and ours, to be invaluable for the better- ment of the school. As you become acquainted with tne Somerville High School, your class spirit and pride will develop and by the end of the second quarter the Class of 1924 will be a class of which you yourself and the school may well be proud. Owing to a delay in organizing the Radiator staff and the amount of extra work entailed by the primary issue of the Radiator, the October Number is considerably late. However, as soon as it is possible to do so. the Radiator will return to its original schedule. In the November Issue the Radiator will pub- lish a cartoon suggested and drawn by a mem- ber of the school. As cartoons are quite expen- sive, and can be used but once, it is not advisa- ble to publish very many. Suggestions concern- ing the betterment of our school paper are wel- come at all times, for after all the Radiator is just as good as you make it, no better. The Somerville High School can be called a well equipped school. It has two chemical laboratories, a physical and botanical laboratory, an art studio, and a machine and printer’s shop, as well as many classrooms, and an assembly hall. But the Somerville High School lacks an im - portant piece of equipment. That is a well equipped gymnasium, where it could hold basket ball games, track meets, competitive drills and other athletic “stunts.” Must the students of S. H. S. always go with- out sufficient exercise? To be seated bending over books or reciting for the greater part of every day is not conducive to good health, and good health is essential to good scholarship. Is not the training of the body as important as the training of the mind? Without the body the mind could not exist. The only objection to the erection of a fine, well equipped “gym” is the cost. An addition could be built, connecting the Hast and the West Buildings, or the basement of the West Building could be made over at a cost that would not be prohibitive to the city. What can be done about it? Must the future members of the Somerville High School be known as students of “The School without the Gymnasium”? Vours for a well equipped gymnasium ior S. H. S! ! There conies a time in the history of all people when the question arises: “By whom are we gov- erned?’' “Are we our own rulers, or are we being ruled by someone else?” Last year reforms were made in the different phases of school rou- tine by means of the Student Council, which is an intermediate organization between the students and the faculty. These changes, for the most part, were successful. The students were made to feel their responsibility. Has the Student Council been organized this year? What is it doing? Let’s see the Student Council at work again. FE3 33 JS23 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Winning His Letter Russell B. Crush, 1922 LARGI'' number of boys were assem- bled in the spacious gymnasium of the Essex High School. It was the first call for football candidates, and as the big suburban school was | noted for its formidable athletic teams, the gathering was both enthusiastic and promising. There were fully sixty boys present when tin meeting was called to order and the coach.. “Lefty” Edwards, a former Princeton man. took command and set things in motion. It was customary for him to address the can- didates at the first gathering every year to impress upon their minds that the fellows who went to work with determination stood an excellent chance of making the team and winning their letters at the end of the season. Having firmly stamped this view in the minds of his pupils, the coach was assured of better success and cooperation than he would have been if he had played favorites. Edwards, in passing over the faces of the resolute young men in the group that had responded to his call, was confident of having an eventful season and forecast a championship. His reasons for thinking so were justified. The war was just over and the young blood of America who had left school, enlisted, and had gone across to fight the Huns, was now return- ing home to complete unfinished education. It was a golden opportunity for coaches of eastern high schools to spring into prominence by producing champion heavy elevens. Those rugged voting men who. from the North. South. East and West, had relinquished their studies to light their nation’s enemies were now eager to receive high school diplomas before “bucking tip against” the business world. The majority, on their return from France, instead of going back to their homes inland, remained in coast cities to finish their high school course, if it was convenient. The flourishing city of Essex was a suburb of the big sea-port Union, and both cities received a good share of the young World War veterans. In this way it came to pass that John Edwards, the Essex coach, on first inspection of the new football timber, had dreams of a powerful champion eleven. Of all the new faces he saw among the candidates at the first calling, one in particular drew his attention. It was that of' a small, puny boy. who stood out boldly in front of bis tall, heavy companions, listening attentively to the coach’s instructions; not so much his looks that caused the coach to smile, but his noticeably small size. True, there were other short youths in the throng, but none like him. In the ;• itendance of husky lads the little fellow, with his anib folded and a merry twinkle in his eyes. h:ul the appearance of the proverbial Jack the Giant Killer. He did not look, however, as if he could play football, and the instructor turn- ing his attention elsewhere forgot the midget for a time. It was not until he was jotting down the names of the candidates and the positions they aspired to. that he thought of the quiet fellow again. “Your name?'’ he inquired, when his turn came in line. “Castleton.— Lee Castleton, and I’m going out for quarterback.” was the calm answer. “I see you’re a newcomer.” said Edwards in a friendly tone. “Have you had any previous experience at the position?” “No—I’ve never had a chance before.” Castle- ton admitted frankly, “but I think I can manage the position.” It means a great deal of plugging and hard knocks.” warned Edwards kindly, and passed on to the next man. Since Castleton is the hero of our story, per- haps it would be well to give a more detailed account of him and how he happened to be in Essex. His home was originally in Texas and his parents were ranchers. Although a dwarf in stature, he was a wiry, active lad and at the age of sixteen was well adapted to border life, being an expert horseman and crack shot. Then a happy life became clouded: his parents were victims of a Mexican outrage and left him an orphan. His only living relative being a maiden aunt in Essex, Delaware, it became necessary for him to give up his outdoor, care- free life and come north and accept her for a guardian. Forgetting the tragedy in his life. Lee entered the high school and concentrated his attention on subjects he had never studied before. The call for football players brought back memories ol. bis former life. A champion western college eleven had once trained for an intersectional game with Texas University, near SOMFRYTLLF HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 his father’s ranch, and. as he was a mere lad at tiie time, lie witnessed their secret practice and became their mascot. With a general knowledge of the game. Castleton. modest and cool, thought he stood a chance of making the team and became a candidate. Ilis first brief interview with the coach, and the astonishing size of tiie other candidates, only strengthened his resolution to make the team. In the days that followed the diminutive Texan labored faithfully to win recognition in football practice, and he received all the hard knocks and bruises that the instructor had predicted. After a few days’ practice under the observant eye of the coach, the big squad was cut down to forty men. and in a week’s time but tlire-- eleven remained. Castleton was quarter on the third eleven, which was composed mostly of inexper- ienced men. and was forced to accept some hard heatings from the first and second elevens. Finally, he received injuries that kept him out of the game for some time, but he recuperated quickly when lie learned that the third eleven had been dropped, and only he and one other fellow had survived it, winning places on the second eleven. Marvin, the quarterback on the second team, had been a substitute on the Fssex eleven of the previous year and as he was a capable, cool- headed fellow and exceedingly popular, he held the position safe from the aggressive little Southerner. Before the opening game, however. Marvin was forced to give up his place in the list of substitutes because of failures in certain examinations, and the plucky Lee. well up in his school studies, was his happy successor. 'I he regular quarterback. Ned Saunders, a former marine, was easily the star of the eleven and was heralded as the ablest field general that ever trod a scholastic gridiron in the Blue Men State. With these facts in mind. Castleton was content to sit on the sideline and watch the colossal F.ssex machine sweep up its opponents in amazing fashion. Then he awoke to the realization that he could not win his letter, a most coveted honor, unless he participated in at least one contest. If he did not win his letter he would have nothing to show for his work. As the season advanced, and his services were not required. Castleton became disturbed and restless and finally broached the subject to Coach Fdwards. The latter only smiled and told him to cease worrying. “You have worked faithfully in practice and will have a chance to earn your letter in one of the later games.” encouraged the instructor. Greatly relieved with these words. Castleton was patient, and waited. The .season waned and the schedule dwindled down to two contests. The last game was with Union, the F.ssex school’s greatest rival. It was considered the crowning event of the gridin n season by the two teams to win the annual con- test. I his year the championship of the state hinged the outcome of the struggle, and tense rivalry existed. Fdwards had whipped together an eleven of strong calibre the previous year at Fssex. but untimely injuries to hC best players towards the close of the season had cost him the annual con- flict with Union. Tins year the wise mentor took special pains to keep his stars off the •njured list and had succeeded fairly well with the possible exception of one man. Captain Ned Saunders, the life of the team, had sustained minor injuries in a red-hot struggle with the formidable -Maryland Institute eleven. This happened at the third from the last game on the schedule. The next contest was with Ocean View, a light but scrappy team. The famous Fssex quarter recovered in time to play in the game, but was rejected In- cautious “Lefty” Fdwards. “I’m taking no chances. Saunders,” he explained, “we’ve got this game clinched and I want to save you for the grand finale with Union, so Castle- ton is u play in your place against Ocean View.’’ Thus the little Southerner’s patience was rewarded. Me played the full game with Ocean iew. and had an easy job of it. as the Fssex backs ran roughshod over their lighter opponents and piled up a 30—0 score. The joy and pride Lee experienced over winning his letter was spoiled when lie accidentally overheard a con- versation between two members of the team after the Ocean View game. “That Castleton kid is a lucky bird.” grumbled Fd Steele, one of tin half-backs. “Mere rve have been plugging all through the season to win our letters, and lie gets his by just playing in one game, the easiest on the schedule, at that.” Yes. but he won’t get the credit that we shall,” Sam Hardy, the stocky left guard, replied to his surly companion. “Credit? What good is the credit? File letter is the thing that counts.’ argued Steele. These words, a dishonor to a true sportsman, and evidently spoken by tin two Fssex players mi a moment of forgetfulness, cut deeply into Castleten’s heart, and hurt his pride, lie was an honest, conscientious boy and would not accept anything that he thought he did not deserve. It was a gloomy existence for the little fellow now. (Continued on Page 18.) JO SOM KKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Summer See Agnes Mongan, 1922 T was at the end of New York’s winter season. No more social affairs were being held in the city, instead the society columns of the papers which usually gave descrip- tions of “brilliant social affairs” were naming prominent women as having closed their town houses and left to spend the summer season at liar Harbor or elsewhere. Marjorie Loew for the first time was inter- ested in the Bar Harbor notices. She was a typi- cal American girl of nineteen, medium height, with dark brown hair which had a tendency to curl, laughing brown eyes, and the rosy cheeks of a gir! who enjoyed outdoor exercise. She was a thoroughly modern young person, much to the dismay of her maiden aunt. Miss Loew. The Loews lived in one of the conservative homes on West 59th Street. New York. Marjorie’s father, a broker, was a comfortably wealthy man who was very little known except in his own business connections and then as a quiet man but one with an excellent business head. His wife had died when Marjorie was eight and his prim sister had come to live with him. Much as she had tried to change Marjorie’s ways, she had failed, and now that young lady had finished her second year at a college where she was learn- ing how to run a house, to her aunt’s horror for anv young girl to have such foolish ideas. It was a rainy Saturday morning of the last- week in June, as Marjorie was reading the paper and saw the Bar Harbor notices. Raising her eyes from the paper she asked: “Aunt Luella, have you ever been to Bar Harbor?” And that lady had replied: “Why, no. Marjorie, of course not.” “Well, you are going there soon.” And in less than a week Marjorie and her aunt were established in a Bar Harbor hotel for the summer. Marjorie had taken her own low hung car, and as it terrified her Aunt Luella to drive with her, she was usually seen alone. The town of Bar Harbor is unique. If you arc there for a stay, you are either a wealthy “rusticator” or a native. The road which circles the island of Mt. Desert is bordered by beautiful summer estates looking out to sea. Several large lintels accommodate the summer visitors. On the main street arc branch stores and the inevitable “movie” theatre. In the morning there is plenty to do, but the whole town seems deserted in the early afternoon. Marjorie was an active young girl and she did not wish to stay about the town at this time, so she fell into the habit of riding out every afternoon along the beautiful shore drive, hiding her car in the bushes off the road and sitting for hours on the great rocks listening to the surf and watching the sea. Sometimes she brought a book, but compared to the graceful flying of the gulls, who swooped down, occasionally, to catch a fish, or the thun- dering of the surf against the red cliffs, the book was uninteresting. Day after day found her comfortably established on the rocks, and grad- ually she began to recognize the boats that passed; the smaller pleasure craft, the fishing smacks and the schooners coming to and from the Grand Banks. One boat puzzled her. As it rounded the point into Frenchman’s Bay it seemed to be a pleasure yacht, but as it grew nearer its appearance was that of a fishing smack. One day she brought with her a power- ful pair of binoculars and gazed steadfastly at the entrance to Frenchman’s Bay. So intent was she that a shift of wind went by unnoticed, as did a gray line that gathered on the horizon, and as it grew larger, turned into a heavy fog. A boat finally appeared, and Marjorie had only time to notice it was a private yacht, when it was swallowed up by the fog. For a while she sat gazing dreamily, only to find, with a start, that she. too. was enveloped in the fog. which had calmed the waves and increased the power of sound. The sound she heard, however, was not the rolling of surf, as it had been an hour ago. bli- the steady chug chug of a gasoline motor. She stood poised on a rock, when a rift in the fog showed her a familiar gray fishing smack head- ing unconsciously for the rocks. Marjorie uttered a piercing scream. She saw two startled figures look up and the water churned into white foam as its forward motion was hastily checked. She fled to the road, started her car. and. as a vent to her nervous feelings, drove to the hotel in a reckless fashion, miraculously escaping a collision. Miss Loew was quite as excited as Marjorie, and very anxious to know what had happened. SOM ERVI 1.1.1” HIGH SCHOOL RADI ATOR 11 The fug disappeared in the evening and the following morning a northwest wind cleared away the last vestige of it. turning the sky and water an unusual deep sapphire color and giving the air an invigorating tingle. Marjorie, although she had thought to remain away from her favorite haunt, could not resist the desire to watch the sea on such a gorgeous day. As she was starting, she was startled to hear a pleasant masculine voice say. “Oh. where are you going, my pretty maid? I’m going a-driving, sir. she said.” “Why, yes.” she laughed, “and you?” “1 have been taking long walks over towards Seai Harbor, but today I have changed my tactics. 1 am going to walk along the shore drive in the direction of the wireless station.” “Then get in, perhaps I can take you in the direction you wish. “You see.” she continued, when the young man, one of the many summer visitors with whom she had played tennis, was comfortably seated, “I drive out every afternoon to a place on the rocks that is practically my own. and sit for hours just gazing out to sea. Wouldn’t you like to see my place? I should be delighted to show you.” A short time later Marjorie was pointing out the various craft to Jack Martin, who listened with polite attentiveness. He was staying in the same hotel as Marjorie, and he. too, came from New York from a well known family, as Miss Luella had assured Marjorie. “Here comes my mystery ship, as I call it.” She did not observe the young man at her side look at her suddenly. 'A questioning expression crept over his face, but quickly passed when lie saw she was only puzzled. Nevertheless, he lis- tened intently. “livery afternoon that boat rounds the point into the bay about 3:15. Don’t you think it looks like a pleasure yacht?” “Why, it is. It’s Mr. Babcock’s new yacht. He made money in the stock market two years ago. At least, he says so, but nobody seems to know much about him. He purchased a place on the point and last summer bought this scout patrol from the navy. The boat is even now sometimes taken for a U. S. Navy boat, because he did not paint it another color. It is----oh!” And he broke oil in the middle of his sentence. Two men had appeared on the deck and were removing the funnel. 'This done, a mast was raised in its place. The canvas pavilion and deck chairs on the after-deck were removed. A black tarpaulin covered the clean decks and some greasy looking barrels rolled into view. 'I he yachting flags were removed. The dainty cur- tains disappeared from the cabin and fish nets and lobster pots were placed around it in such a fashion as to completely change its appearance. “Oh!” exclaimed Marjorie; “1 wonder why they did that! I’ve wondered how they did it before, because usually it seemed to change ’way .ut where I couldn’t make out what was happen- ing ” Bui her companion was staring grimly at the vessel. Turning to Marjorie suddenly, he said: “They can’t have seen us. and I’d rather they wouldn’t. Let us go down behind that rock.” Marjorie said nothing, but quietly slipped down from the boulder and started toward the road. She did not think of the boat again—her thoughts had quickly turned to other things. The following day she did not go to the rocks, but attended a tennis tournament, and for two days she had not seen Jack Martin. One morning nearly a week later, with her mail she was handed an envelope marked “U. S. internal Revenue Office. Private business.” Miss Luella, sitting opposite, saw Marjorie scan the letter, then slowly read it through, a puzzled expression on her face, which gave way to a smile. Her eyes glistened as she passed the letter to her aunt, who read:— My dear Miss Loew: YVc are writing this to thank you for the ser- vice you have just rendered your government. Lieut. Martin reported to us your discovery of the “Wild Goose.” For us it was a wild goose chase for a while, as we had our detectives sta- tioned in the wrong place. Operated by a well known group of law- breakers, who have managed to evade the hand of the law they were breaking, these men have carried on a thriving business, smuggling into this country forbidden and also highly taxed goods. 'Phe boat left Canada as a pleasure acht. but as a yacht would not deposit a cargo; they found it to their convenience to change into a fishing smack. Their daily cargo met the Bar I larbor express to New York, and for a long time we have been unable to trace the source of Mippiy. Thanking you again for your aid. I remain. Yours truly. Major J. S. Colby. A lengthy explanation was necessary for Mar- jorie’s aunt, and after she was satisfied Marjorie asked at the desk for Mr. Jack Martin. “He left Friday evening in a hurry.” said the clerk, “but he left the message that if a certain young lady should ask for him he would be back Thursday evening.” 12 SOM E K VILLE HIGH SC HOOL RADIATOR An assembly of the juniors and Sophomores was held preceding- the subscription campaign in behalf of the Radiator. As the assembly hall is not commodious enough this year to hold the entire student body at one time, it was thought advisable to call only the undergraduates to- gether. Mr. Avery opened the assembly with a few explanatory words, and. advising its support, turned the meeting over to the editor-in-chief, Wilbur Stanley, lie spoke, in a general way, of the needs of the paper and the necessity of having the cordial support of the school. Miss Merrill, faculty adviser of the Radiator, spoke on the sub- ject of supporting the paper, illustrating her point by an anecdote. Mr. Hosmer. faculty treasurer, and Homer Rowe, business manager, spoke concerning the financial situation of the Radiator and the need of subscriptions in the coming campaign. A football mass meeting was held in the Assembly Hall preceding the first league game. Cambridge Latin vs. Somerville High. Mr. Sears officiated, presenting the following- speakers: Mr. Aver. Mr. Pearson. Captain Kelli- her and Mr. Averv. Coach yer. the first speaker, told of the high spirit the team was showing on the gridiron. He stated that lie had four teams in operation, with everv player trying his best to “make” the first team. He also said that the team would fight hard to win. but if they lost, no excuses were wanted. Mr. Pearson, the financial secretary, explained the need of more subscriptions to the Athletic Association, lie explained that members of the Athletic Association are entitled to discount cards which enable the bearer to purchase athletic supplies at a discount. Captain Kelliber made a lengthy speech of about two lines, which was right to the point. He spoke for the team, saying that they would do their best on the gridiron, hut that they wanted support from the school in the shape of large and noisy cheering sections at all of the games. Mr. Avery closed the meeting, saying a few words ad' ising a hearty support of the team by the student body. The Somerville High School Orchestra has been reorganized this year. Lawrence Daggett has been appointed orchestra leader; Hilding Pearson, concert master, and Elizabeth Newton, secretary. The orchestra is already “in full swing” under the guidance of Mr. McVcy. assisted by Miss Hurd. There are over fifty members, which is the largest orchestra the school has ever had. A large assortment of instruments have been obtained, composed of the following: Violin, viola, violoncello, bass, flute, clarinet, oboe, saxo- phone. cornet, trumpet, melophonc. trombone, drum, tympani and piano. A brass quartet, composed of members of the orchestra, has been formed. They are: Cleon Hopkins, leader (cornet); Atherton Witham (cornet). Stanley Tribe «Trombone). Leslie Thompson (trombone). Without doubt, the orchestra has the material with which to make itself the best possible.

A minstrel show and dance was given in the High School Hall, April 15, and a private dance was held June 10 at Eitzedward bungalow. The chapter took an active interest in school affairs, participating in all of its activities. Gamma Eta Kappa is confident of making this year a big success. Preparations are now being made for several dances, a formal dance this winter and for the annual show in the spring. The members of Gamma Eta Kappa extend to the new students and teachers a hearty welcome to the Somerville High School. Omicrcn Pi Sigma Psi chapter of the Onticron I’i Sigma is enter- ing a year the outlook of which seems most promising. Upon us. the remaining members in the school, has fallen the task of selecting those who are to enter our fraternity this year. To our brothers who have entered either higher in- stitutions of learning or the school of hard knocks, the business world, we give our best wishes for success. We have announced our annual dance, to be held Thanksgiving Eve, November 23. at the Heinemann House. We ex- tend our welcome to the faculty and to all the students, wishing them the best of success for the year 1921-1922. Kappa Alpha Pi Though many of our brothers graduated from High School last June, our membership is still large and is increasing as the year passes. The fraternity began its social season by hold- ing a dancing party at Eitzedward bungalow. This dance was a great success, and we hope to run similar ones in the future. The fraternity lias begun its season well and expects to make this year the best in its history. We extend a cordial welcome to newcomers, both teachers and pupils. Phi Alpha is beginning its twenty-fourth year, with the following members: Marion Dc Witt, president; Natalie Hailwood, treasurer: Helena Lincoln, secretary: Lillian Andrews.

We of the Alpha Theta Pi Sorority wish to ex- tend cordial greetings to the faculty and pupils of Somerville High School. IN MEMORY OF PAUL J. ANDERSON S. H. S., ’22 The Class of 1922 and indeed the entire student body, deeply feel their great loss in the untimely death of Paul J. Anderson, which occurred at Squam Lake. N. H.. August 18. from drowning. Mr. Anderson was widely known in the school, having been pianist for the Junior and Senior music; accompanist for the Orchestra, and pianist at the public events of the school. His refined courtesy, his efficient help- fulness, together with his wonderful musical talents, made him a valued worker in the activities of the school. A brilliant musical career, and a life that promised unusual usefulness in the world has been thus suddenly cut off in the death of Paul Anderson. Faculty and students unite to mourn his loss and cherish his memory. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 15 I LIBRAli ! DEPARTMENT j Vacation clays are over and once more we have settled down to our books. There is that theme for English to be written, an oral composition to be prepared, a debate in history—my. but school life seems complicated with its never ending, never ceasing routine of study. But, wait—why make hard work out of something which can be done easily, it prepared in the right way? Our high school offers us two well equipped libraries to help us in lightening the work of our high •school course. The East Library contains plenty of history reference books for everyone, while the shelves of the West Library hold delightful novels and stories, books of plays, volumes of poems, encyclopedias, commerce and industry reference books and a rack piled high with the latest issues of the best periodicals, such as the Outlook. Literary Digest. Popular Mechanics, Review of Reviews. World. Scientific American. Industrial Arts, System. American Builder and American Forestry. Ali of us regret the loss of our last year's li- brarian. Miss Miller. Without a librarian, the school is under as great a handicap as a football team without a coach—for without the guiding hand there is apt to be confusion. To prevent this as much as possible, no books are allowed to be taken from the library. Still, a study period slip can be obtained at any time from your teacher. The library is open from 8.15 in the morning to 2.30 in the afternoon. Everyone is cordial! invited to visit and inspect the library for themselves. EXCHANGE NOTES A Happy and Successful Year to All.

Mr. Ayer, the newly appointed coach, assumed •charge of the team on September 28. Previous to his taking charge, the boys had been coached by Tom Scanlon. Dina Reardon and Mr. Cuddy. The schcoll owes these Somerville High School graduates many thanks for their splendid work while the boys were without an official coach. There is something for every one to do. Buy tickets for every game, go to the games, and cheer. If Coach Ayer does not produce a champion team, let the students help the cheer leaders produce a champion cheering section. Individual Players Dan Kelliher. captain of this year’s football team and veteran of two years, is back in his usual form. Bob McPhail, our star backfield man and vet- eran of two years, is back with his usual mania for making end runs. McKelvey, also a veteran, is considered a regu- lar guard on the left of the line. Sandstrom. another veteran and star drop kicker, is back in good form. Bob Buckley, a veteran backfield man. is ex- pected to perform good work. Calderoni. a veteran of last year, is expected to do some fast work in the line. Marmaud, a veteran plunger, is welcomed back, and is expected to fill Simpson's place. Our New Coach Arthur (“Dutch”) Ayer was born in Lawrence. Mass., where he attended the Methuen Grammar School, situated on the outskirts of Lawrence. Later he attended the Lawrence High School. After graduating from high school, he went to Phillips F.xetcr and Dean Academy. From Dean Academy he went to Colbv. from which he trans- ferred t' Springfield, to take a course in physical directing. Mr. Ayer went in for all kinds of athletics, and in football became Maine’s star quarterback. At basebal1 he played left and centn field; on the track team he was considered a dashing relay man and at hockev played centre. “Dutch” Ayer became so proficient in athletics that he became physical director or coach, in some places both, at the following colleges, schools and universities; Coached Concord (X. H.) High School for two years. Norwich University one year, coach and athletic director of Holyoke High School for one year, athletic director and coach at Portland Naval Station during the war. director of physical training and athletics of New York State in 1919. director of athletics and recreation at Greenfield (Mass.) Tap and Dye Corporation, and last year athletic coach of Boston University. Somerville 0, Cambridge Latin 14 Somerville was defeated at Dilboy Field. Som- erville, in the first game of the season with a score of 14 to 0. In the first half luck was against Somerville, for when Bob McPhail. after making a thirty - five-yard run. lost the pigskin, it was picked up by a Cantab player, who ran for a touchdown. The goal was kicked by Zarakov. This piece of bad iuck seemed to dishearten the red and blue players, as Zarakov went through and around the line for large gains. Zarakov took the ball on the fourteen-yard line and ran around the line for a touchdown. Zarakov again kicked the goal. I:i the second half the Somerville boys came back with the old light, and it looked as if they would score. The ball was carried to Cambridge Latin’s five-yard line, but Somerville lost their chances of scoring by a costly fumble. The 18 SOM ICR VILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR wonderful forward passes worked by Bob .McPhail and Captain Kclliher were a feature of the game. Captain Kclliher.

Little needs to be said outside of that the orange and black players proved too fast for the red and blue warriors, and at the end of the first half the score stood 27 to 0 in favor of Newton. As in the Cambridge Latin game, Somerville came back strong in the second half and made large gains by line plunges. Newton’s line seemed to crumble for a few plays and then it turned to a stone wall. Somerville tried some forward passes, but they did not prove very suc- cessful. On one of these passes, Garritv intercepted the ball and carried it for a touchdown. T. Bowen kicked the goal, bringing the score to 34 to 0. Newton’s lateral passing and a clever end run by their quarterback for a touchdown advanced the score to 41 to 0. T. Bowen again kicked the goal. In the last minute to play.

WINNING HIS LETTER (Continued from Page 9.) lie would get his letter after the season was over, but it would be nothing more to him than a mere piece of bunting if the other members of the eleven thought he had not earned it. His dis- appointment was keen, for lie knew he would not have another chance to distinguish himself. The day lor the Union game finally arrived, and excitement at Essex High was keyed to its highest pitch. 'Hie annual game was rated as a classic in Delaware interscholastic sporting circles, for the elevens were evenly matched and the state titie was hanging in the balance. A vast assemblage was on hand to witness the gladiators of the gridiron fight for supremacy, and blaring bands were there to liven the atmos- phere. The red jerseys of the Essex eleven and the blue jerseys of Union made a pretty spectacle and presented a miniature Harvard-versus-Vale battle. The galaxy of stars in the opposing line- ups. and the fact that neither team had been scored on for the season, increased the interest of the title combat. At last the game began, and from the very monienr that the hollow boom which announced the kick-off was heard, to the end of the first quarter the teams kept the frenzied mob on its feet. Even Lee Castleton. on the sidelines, downcast as he was. could not help feeling thrilled at the. glorious sight. Every inch of ground was cieanly fought for. and some of those youths who had fought in the trenches and chanced to be in the game, displayed that same grit and courage on the football field that they SOMERVILLE HIGH had showed while braving the perils of No Man's I-and. “Fight and fight hard.”’ was the motto of the teams, and they did. The contest waxed hot and furious in the opening quarter and ended with the ball in the centre of the field in Union’s ] ossession. A close observer of the game, after witnessing the two elevens fight so splendidly in the initial quarter with neither showing an advantage over the other, might have declared that the contest would end scoreless, but the “breaks” of tin- game must alwavs be considered. In this case the Union team got the first break. It was an unusual occurrence, and a hard blow to the Essex team and its supporters. The Union quarter had signalled to a fleet end lor a forward. The pigskin, however, never reached its destination, for an alert Essex lines- man blocked the pass. In the act of blocking the pass, the linesman stumbled and the ball, strik- ing him in the chest, bounced off into the arms of a Union half-back, who, quick to grasp the situa- tion. started to sprint with an open field ahead of him. and before the bewildered F.ssex players could realize it. a six point lead had been chalked up against them. They had been scored upon for the first time that season by an opposing eleven. A bit chagrined, nevertheless accepting the shock like true sportsmen, the Essex eleven lined up under their goal posts, 'midst the deafening cheering of the spectators. The Union captain. Hushed by the unexpected touchdown and doubtlessly rattled by the reigning confusion, missed the goal and so the score stood at six. The elevens lined up a gam and the battle waged evenly. The half ended with Union holding their six point lead. The intermission was gladly welcomed by the tired players. Coach Edwards, undismayed by the score against his charges, lectured to them calmly and encouraged them in everv way. The third quarter found Essex fighting the best battle of its career and Union defending its goal valiantly. The massive red-jerseyed backs pounded the Union line incessantly, and Captain Saunders, the Essex quarter, using all his strategy to pilot his eleven to victory, received- round after round of applause for his brilliant', ■clashing plays. The period ended with I nion holding their fierce rivals on the forty-yard line. The last quarter, the Essex mentor played down his best cards and pinned his hopes in tin- ability of his men to come through. It was time for the stonewall line of Union to crumble. Reserves were rushed in on both sides to strengthen the weaker spots in the opposing grid machines. SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 Essex started a last march with the ball in its possession. A series of brilliantly executed for- ward passes gained precious ground, and the heavy line plunging of the red jerseys began to tell and netted yard after yard. The Union line • altered! Essex had the ball on the twenty-five yard line. 1 he supreme moment had come; a secret play which Edwards had told Saunders to save until the last was about to be used. Captain Saunders gave the signals and received the ball. 1 he Essex linesmen fell back as if by magic in a double line, the backs rushed forward and Saunders in ; Hash was completely surrounded bv Ins fellow players. The body id players advanced speedily like a red phaianx and crushed the Union line. The plucky Union players rallied and. holding on tenaciously, split up the body-guard and brought Saunders to earth on the ten-yard stripe. Edwards’ wonder play had counted for twenty big yards, but it was only gained at a great cost, for several moments afterwards it was discov- ered that Saunders had wrenched his ankle severely in the triumphant rush. It was a stag- gering blow to the hopes of the Essex eleven. A moment ago victory was imminent, now defeat was inevitable. The morale of the Essex boys was crushed when they saw their gallant leader being assisted to the sidelines. Then his successor, the diminutive Lee Castle- ton. ran to take his place. The spectators gasped ip astonishment on seeing the midget. It seemed incredible that the little fellow could do anything among his tall and heavy comrades. This was a battle of giants, and everyone failed to see how Castleton would fit in the gruelling struggle. He was greeted sullenly by the tired, groggy Essex players, while the Union men grinned and took the change as a joke. There were three scant minutes left to play when the teams lined up. The crowds figured it would be all over in a few rushes. Castleton, cool and determined, fully understanding the feelings of his fellow players, went to work with one view in mind, that being to win his letter hon- orably hi the eyes of ail his companions. “11 17- 23-34-50.” The little quarter was harking the signals in a snappy fashion and it was as good as a tonic t the red jerseys. lie repeated the signals calling for a forward pass to the right end. The play, to the surprise of all. netted live yards. They were in the shadow of the goal posts now. and the next play was a decisive one. I he Essex players, sweating with excitement, and fighting doggedly, expected Castleton to give the ball to one of the big backs and make a final eflfori to break clean through (Continued on Page 22.) 20 SOM ERYTLLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1922 Charles G.

It seemed to be the only chance, as a forward pass was out of the question, the Union ends being on the watch. The quarter gave the signals calling for a centre rush, lie was crouched exceedingly low behind the crimson line. The players hesitated at the rash move, for they doubled to a man that Castletcn could penetrate the giant Union line. Nevertheless it was too late to protest, and the signals were carried out. The opposing lines crashed and the j«layers went down in a heap. The crowds expected to see the little quarter crushed at the bottom of the pile, but instead Castleton was over the Union goal line, hugging the ball and smiling with contentment! Nobody can explain just how it happened, whether lid burrowed his way through the mass of players, ur slid under a linesman’s legs; but lie found a hole somewheres and scored the six points that tied Union. With a minute left to play, the rangy Essex tuliback kicked the goal and brought to a close one of the most exciting and spectacular schoolboy contests ever staged in Delaware. Lee Castleton has often since related to his admirers how he won his letter in that superb 7— 6 triumph over Union for the state honors, and proudly exhibits at the end of his story a gold football.

As war cannot be carried on by the three Great Powers without the use of navies to transport •their armies, Great Britain. United States and Japan have agreed to declare a ten-year holiday in naval construction, to commence three months after the conference. France and Italy are not included in this group, as their navies have been •considerably depleted by the war. Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes outlined America’s policy, which has for the most part been accepted by Great Britain and Japan. Mr. Hughes stated that America is willing to lead the way by sacrificing 845.740 tons of modern war- ships afloat and scrapping those which are now in the process of construction and have already cost the government $330,000,000. He also stated that the three Great Powers must agree t •destroy 06 modern fighting ships with a total ton- nage of 1.878.043 tons. The United States must give up good ships in the class of the New York, the Pennsylvania and the Florida; Great Britain must give up ships in the class of the 4 Hoods now under construction; while Japan must do away with ships in the class of the Owari. the Iutsu and the Nagato. The representatives of the three Great Powers Lave accepted the quotas of ships to be kept set for each Power as stated by Mr. Hughes. They sire as fellows: United States. 18; Great Britain. 22; Japan. 10. It is agreed that these ships will not he replaced until the ten-year holiday is over. Cruisers, destroyers, submarines and airplanes arc all to be limited by the conference. Eight nations arc represented at the confer- ence. Following is the list with a representa- tive of each: United States. Mr. Hughes; Great Britain, Lloyd George; Japan. Admiral Kato; 'France. M. Briand; Italy. Sig. Schanzer; Belgium, Baron Cartier dc Marchicnnc; Hol- land. Dr. Karncbeck; China. Dr. Wellington Koo. and Canada. Sir Robert Borden. Statistics show the terrible cost in blood and money of war, and everyone knows that the com- mon people have to pay both costs in the end. Do you know that one bomb dropped from an air- plane costs from nine to twelve thousand dollars and that a present-day battleship costs fifty mil- lions of dollars? This sum would build eighty thousand six hundred homes or would build four universities like Princeton. After all. are there not enough reasons win- war should be abolished? Absolutely, yes! Then again let us give thanks for this Conference on the Limitation of Armaments, as it appears to be •the only road toward universal peace and good will among men. The week of November 7-13 was recognized throughout the country as Better Speech Week. Not only did it apply to the schools this year but all kinds of organizations observed it also. The Somerville High School has different printed slogans distributed throughout the classrooms. These slogans illustrate very clearly the value of correct English. Notice and apply them to your- self. 31 SOMERVILLE HIGH Emery Leon Chaffee, assistant professor of physics in Harvard University, is a native of Som- erville and prepared for college in the schools of his native city. He was graduated from the high school in 1903 and entered the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology. He received the degree of B. S. in electrical engineering from M. I. T. in 1907, and continued his studies at Harvard, re- ceiving the degree of A.M. in 1908 and of Ph.D. in 1911. Mr. Chaffee’s doctor’s thesis on “Impact Exci- tation of Electric Oscillations and Their Analysis by Means of the Brain Tube Oscilleograph” re- ceived the Bowdoin prize of a medal and $250. and in 1912 was awarded the Edward Longstreth medal of merit by the Franklin Institute in Phila- delphia. The device invented in the thesis work is patented and appears in scientific literature as “The Chaffee Gap.” Mr. Chaffee was instructor in Harvard from 1909 to 1916. when he was appointed assistant professor of physics and of electrical engineer- ing. Since 1912 he has been in charge of the course in physics given at Radcliffe College. Since 1914 Mr. Chaffee has been chief engineer for John Hays Hammond. Jr., in connection with radio control of torpedoes and improved systems of radio communication. In 1918 the govern- ment sent him to France as an expert in connec- tion with several new radio devices for the war. He has patented many improvements in the radio field. He has recently been appointed con - sulting engineer for the government in special work at McCook Field, Dayton. Ohio. Mr. Chaffee is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, member of Ameri- can Institute of Radio Engineers. Franklin Insti- tute, American Physical Society. American Opti- cal Society. He is the author of the Physics Laboratory Manual in use in the second course, general physics, at Harvard. At Harvard Medical School he is interested in a work of importance in the measurement of elec- tric potential produced in the retina of the eye when illuminated in an endeavor to discover more about vision. Mr. Chaffee married, in 1913. Miss Marie Kreutz of Winchester. They have two children. Elsa, aged six, and Robert H.. aged three. They have a pleasant home in Belmont. SCHOOL RADIATOR Some interesting stories are desired for the coming issifes of the Radiator. Probably there is no one who at one time or another has not written a short story. Why not write one for your school paper? Do you not think that more short, lively and exciting stories would be an improvement? Have you never had an experi- ence or heard of some peculiar happening that would make interesting reading if put in the form ol a short story ? If you have, write it up in good form immediately, and leave it in Room 115 before the first Thursday of the month in which, von wish it published. Did you ever ask yourself, “Why do business concerns advertise in the Radiator?” If they didn't, there would be no Radiator, as the adver- tisements contribute in a large measure toward the support of the paper. It is because they want and expect returns in the form of increased business. Our new business manager. Homer Rowe, together with his assistant, Donald Grinned, have tackled the job and to date have been very successful. Much credit is due them, as the obtaining of “ads” is accomplished only by persistent work and untiring effort. Patronize the advertisers n the Radiator. By buying your necktie, soda or hot dog there instead of next door, you can prove to them that “ Pays lo Advertise” in the Radiator. 'I'lie Radiator extends welcome to Mrs. Lucy Topliff upon her return from a tour of France anti its battlefields. From the address which she delivered during the Armistice Day exercises, one would imagine that she could tell many interest- ing things about the conditions in France during the period of reconstruction and of the spirit of the citizens of La Belle France. Welcome home. Mrs. Topliff! ! Students Council! Why not formulate a plan to relieve the teachers from the duties of traffic officers during filing between periods? Let pupils appointed from the student body govern the filing system. Many excellent schools of Greater Bos- ton and elsewhere are using this method with satisfaction. Why not propose it for S. II. S.? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR An Old Man’s Dream By Ruth A. Kelter, '22 1 ACQLF.S HI LO T was an aged peasant who lived in a small village on the outskirts of Paris. He earned a precarious living by cutting fagots - and bringing them into the city on the back of his patient donkey. The ■few-coins obtained from their sale were sufficient ior his bumble needs. He was happy and con- Hentotl. Although he worked hard, he derived •considerable pleasure from life by reason of his .■great iove of nature. lie cultivated a small garden, in which he in- stalled a crude bath for the use of the birds that abounded near his home. It mattered not how slender his larder might he. there was always a ■few sous with which lie could buy something for his feathery friends during the late fall and win- ter. He was wont to purchase from his slender •earnings a few 'nits of suet, which he tied or. sap- lings and hedges near his home. These helped the birds to live out the winter, and their songs of gRuitr.de amply repaid him for his sacrifice. One day after the great war had been in progress for some time, old Jacques received news that the husband of his onlv daughter had fallen in action. The stricken young woman, accompanied by her two young children, a boy and girl, aired eight and nine, respectively, came to live with Jacques. The mother of the two children went to work in the city, and, bravely bearing up under her sor- row. sought to keep her little family together, blit the blow was more than she could bear; she soon sickened and died. Jacques, by working the round of the clock, ■succeeded in clothing and feeding the children. To his great delight they were as enthusiastic about the birds as was he. They took all the bur- den of the liiilc garden patch upon themselves, ami they planted varieties of flowers that up to that time bad never grown there. Life for old Jacques for about a year was like unto a paradise on earth, bout this time a wave of sickness •among children passed over France, the two children were stricken and. to Jacques’ great sor- row. they passed away. After the death of the children, old Jacques •seemed t age rapidly, the garden was neglected, the birds forgotten and he went about his tasks n ni dull. list', ‘ss sort of a way. for he felt that bis licart and bis life lay buried with the children. One day when Jacques was delivering fagots at tile back door of a hotel. he noticed some Ameri- can guests decorating a large room, as though for some festival. 1 le asked the reason, and was told that the following day would be the American feast day known as Thanksgiving. The word Thanksgiving kept recurring to his mind all day. and that night as lie was about to lay himself down on his pallet in his desolate cabin, be said to himself: What thanksgiving can there be for poor old Jacques?” The poor old man cried himself to sleep, be felt so lonely and desolate. Suddenly in some un- known manner, he found himself in the neglected garden patch behind his cabin. Strangely enough the flowers were all in bloom. He particularly noticed a large sunflower that had been planted by the children. To his great surprise, rays of light seemed to rise from it, bars joined the sides of these rays at intervals, so that it formed what seemed to be a ladder of light. lie approached and touched the rays, finding to bis surprise that they were bard, like metal. From their color they must have been gold. Something within him told'him to mount the lad - der. which he did, finding himself after a long climb in the midst of the most beautiful country that could be imagined. Standing on a grassy hillock was a little group of people. As lie drew close to them, to his great surprise and delight, he found that the group consisted of his two grand- children. with their father and mother. They were dressed in wondrous gowns and their faces were glorified with a celestial light. W heeling over their heads was a large flock of birds that filled the air with their melody. One of the grandchildren espied him. and said: Oh, grandpa, our friends visit us even here.” The old man started to speak, but he could not. He took a step towards them. They seemed just out of reach, and he awoke with a start. 'I he November sun was shining through the cabin window. It was Thanksgiving morning. From that time on. life was again joyous for Jacques. He went about his tasks with a happy heart and his cheerful whistle was again heard on the roadways. Again he made his trip to the butcher’s for suet and bought larger quantities than ever. Some strangers moving into the neighborhood, observing the old man tying bits of suet on the trees, asked him why he was doing it. He re- plied: It brings me nearer to them.” They thought he was crazy, but you and I who know about the dream are certain that old Jacques lias found peace and his life is now one continual Thanksgiving. 33 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Last Flight By John A. Holmes, 23 HE young Englishman collected his kit bags and made preparations for leaving the coach as the grinding brakes slowed the train for its stop at Welham Station. In a moment he stood on the asphalt walk of a tiny English country station. A young officer in a neat R. A. S. uniform like his own stepped out of the dusk and gripped his hand. “Walker, isn't it? My name is Landry. Glad to see you. Chuck the bags m the car. Have a good trip?” The two men were soon speeding over the flat English country toward their objective, the Wel- ham Air Station, where Gordon Walker had been assigned as a prospective member of the crew for the trans-Atlantic dirigible housed there. Landry kept up an incessant chatter until he had deposited his charge under an arc light before the quarters of the C. O.; the commanding officer, a strong, pleasant American naval officer, greeted him. gave him his quarters and introduced him to Craig, an American officer, and Jeff Hawkcs. a Cockney engineer. Several hours later Gordon lay in his bunk in the airmen’s quarters thinking of the days when he built model planes, of his first attempt at a man-carrying kite. He remembered his hero worship of a real aviator, of his early job in an airplane factory, and then of his enlistment in the Royal Air Service at Cowes, from whence he had been transferred to Welham. After his first night he had little opportunity to dream. His life was one of incessant drill, toil and study. Every minute was utilized. He passed courses in gas engine operation, weather calculation, astronomy, navigation and the thous- and and one preliminaries to a successful flight. At last came the examination for crew, which he passed with credit; then came study of the con- struction and operation of the six hundred and fifty foot ship which lie was to have a part in taking over the sea to America. Day after day he sat in class with a score of young men. study- ing, planning and learning better methods of doing ids chosen work. Officers and visitors commented often on the youth and good appear- ance of the cadets. Seldom was such a group of strong, young, eager and intelligent men seen. They were the flower of their country devoting themselves to a great cause. Every hour that Gordon spent working in the huge ship made him feel the importance of his task to mankind, present and future. Every hour that he spent with his comrades made him feel that they were indeed good enough to fulfill this duty. In class on the ship, off duty, during games and at prayer he found honor, courage and clean thought and action. He loved them all. the all wise captain.the stout engineer and his assistants ; Miggs, the weather man; Landry, the garrulous chief navigator, even to “Bugs” Lewis, the six- teen-year-old flight enthusiast who feared he would be left behind, and begged everybody, i very day. to lake him. Then the trial flights began. Gordon felt that lie would neve r forget the almost holy exultation he had as the great ship left the ground and rose to the clouds for the first time. At every station .t perfectly trained man did his part, the whole- working like a machine. As the time drew near for the flight, the- severity of the drilling and schooling lessened. Gordon spent much time contemplating the silver- gray tanks of his ship as she lay in the hangar, and dreaming of the day when this frame and fabric would be alone in the air above the ocean. Then came the week of the flight. There were to be final drills, a study of the landing field iiv America, a final trial flight, ceremonies and fare- wells. and stocking up for the great journey,, before all would be ready. Gordon Walker sat on the steps of the airmen’s barracks in the dusk, thinking of the next day but one when the gray ship with its precious crew would leave the downs of England below and behind and turn its nose eastward toward the sea and America. There would be days over the ocean wastes when they would be at God’s mercy, when he felt they would be out of sight and beyond aid of man. when everything depended on their sincere tru.- t in Him. Deep in his heart he- felt a great thing was coming to pass, and he silently made a little prayer for his fellow air- men. The next morning, bright and early, the whole crew in their flying suits ran. like a football squad, out across the field and hauled the ship out of the hangar while crowds looked on. She rode lightly and easily, scarcely straining at the moor- ing lines. 'The men clambered up the ladders into the keel and were soon all aboard and at their stations. 'Their young faces were serious now. Orders flashed from cabin to cabin, the huge motors roared, the propellers fanned the air and the lines pulled taut. All was in readiness. “Cast off!” came the word to the groundmen. “God bless ’em.” muttered “Bugs.” as he lulped slip the lines that held the eager ship. 'The great gray hulk of the ZR-2 rose slowly into the air on its last voyage. 34 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Fight With the Elements By W. G. S., 22 T was a cold, rainy night, late in the fall, and Surfman George Strong of the United States Coast Guard was just starting on his four-mile walk along the beach. His'duty was to patrol the beach within two miles of the Coast Guard Station, until relieved by another member of the crew. He walked along the rocky path, just above the high-water mark, looking seaward. The wind had been rising in velocity and the seas had so increased in size that, as they pounded against the rocky shore, surf and spray was thrown high into the air. Sometimes a wave would break over the path and make it hard for the surfman to keep his footing, lie wondered how the peo- ple on board the ships were faring in the storm : for the station was situated on a rocky island in the steamship lanes, and was surrounded by dan- gerous reefs, where many fine ships had been wrecked in storms. At last, after fighting his way along the path against the elements, with only his dark lantern as a guide, he reached the small house that was his destination. He entered, and placed the lan- tern and his time clock on the table. When he had done this, he called up the station on the private Coast Guard telephone and gave notice to the station watch that he had arrived. Then he took a key from his pocket and punched the time clock that he had brought with him, and also one that was already at the small house. This one had been left by the surfman on the watch pre- ceding his. The clocks were to show the actual time of his arrival. After staying at the house for a few minutes, he took the time clock that was already there and left the one that he had brought with him and started on the trip hack to the station. During the time that he was in the small house the storm had grown worse, and the wind had lashed the ocean into high seas, which broke with thunderous roars upon the rocks. It was a real fight to keep to the path while battling with the wind and rain. I le kept looking seaward for any signals of dis- tress from ships. Once he thought he saw a faint light 'way off to the eastward, but he decided that lie must have been mistaken. But. no! lie saw it again, .this time much nearer than before. It was a rocket, shot from the deck of a ship in dis- tress. drifting nearer and nearer to the terrible rocks and ledges. Immediately he pulled from his pocket a Coston signal, which he discharged into the air by pulling the handle. The sailors on board the steamship, for he could see its cabin lights now, saw his signal and answered it with another rocket. Then he pulled a Coston light of different color from his pocket and discharged it into the air also. This was to warn the lookout n the watch tower of the Coast Guard Station that a vessel was in distress, so that he in turn could warn the crew of the station. After doing this, he began to run swiftly along the rocky path toward the station, stumbling and falling many times. When he arrived, the crew were all in their sta- tions and the lifeboat was on the ways, all ready to be launched into the boiling seas. After he had taken his place, the captain gave the order to launch the non-sinkablc lifeboat. After a hard struggle, the crew finally succeeded in getting it safely through the terrible breakers which thun- dered on the rocky shore and proceeded to where the ship was now on the rocks and sinking fast. Almost every second a glare of light would break the darkness as the sailors discharged their rockets to guide the lifesavers or Coast Guards- men to them. Finally the lifeboat reached the side of the help- less steamer, in whose hull the rocks had torn a hole below the water-line. First of all, women and children were taken aboard and landed on the island: and finally the men, some of whom had been thrown into the sea while attempting to launch the steamer’s lifeboats. Every lifeboat bad been crushed against the sides of the ship as they attempted to launch them, owing to the large waves breaking on the reef. The Coast Guards then rigged up the breeches buoy and shot a line from the shore over the mast of the vessel for the breeches buoy to run on. A few men still remained on board the ill-fated steamer and they were taken off in this manner, together with the officers and crew, who were the last to leave the ship. The people who had been rescued had kept warm by huge fires of driftwood on the beach, which had been kindled by the people living on the island. They were now taken to the station, (Continued on Page 35.} SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3. The Bronze Vase By Florence Hanna, '22 IRLS. don't be ultra-squeamish!” I rapped on the desk to bring the members of the Clover Club to order. “One of our noble band must make a friendly call on S. B. Hobbs, and politely suggest that he is the only individual in this neighborhood who has not donated a sum of money for the Red Cross. But the question is, who will be the victim?” I scanned the little group, but received no encour- aging nod of acquiescence. They all appeared rather frightened, and, in fact. I was frightened myself at the mere thought of approaching that gentleman. “Ali right, we’ll draw lots.” I con- cluded. Titus five slips of paper were dropped into a box. All were blank save one, on which was written : “Do or die !” They had all drawn but myself, and 1 took the last slip, certain that the fatal one had been taken. What was my discomfort at beholding the words I had so jestingly written cannot be imagined! Donning my hat and coat. I bade a spiritless fare- well to my companions, and departed on what was certain to be a useless mission. Silas B. Hobbs had the reputation of living in the best house in the county, having the most money, and the worst temper. Such thoughts entered my mind as I ascended the steps of his home and rang the ponderous bell. Immediately a small woman with pale blue eyes and a timorous expression opened the door. In my most grown-up manner I said: “1 would like to speak to Mr. Hobbs.” She regarded me with the greatest astonishment, and was opening her mouth to speak, when a gruff voice came from the interior: Shut the door. Mandv: probably some peAler” I clenched my lists and my blood rose at this insult. Pushing the frail creature aside. I strode into the house in the direction from whence the voice had come. I entered an immense room. It was superb. Large, delicately etched pictures hung on the walls; a marble bust of Juno reposed an a small table in one corner of the room ; a thick velvet rug covered the floor. As I turned to view the huge fireplace, my gaze fell upon a little, wizened old man seated near the roaring fire. Hi� eyes were black, piercing orbs, while his yellow, wrinkled skin marked a sharp contrast to his. white hair. Then I saw the crutch by his chair, and a wave of pity swept over me. and as sud- denly departed as the same disagreeable voice smote my ears. “Well?” I swallowed the lump m my throat and commenced: “I would like a do- nation for the Red Cross, so that the homeless and unfortunate may be taken care of this winter.” “Is that all?” said he, very sarcastically. X I quite 1 answered calmly. Then impetu- ously. “I think you are a horrid, disagreeable and grouchy old man.” With that. 1 left the house, vowing never to return. A week later I received a package, carefully wrapped in tissue paper. My disappointment was great on unwrapping it to discover a tarn- ished bronze vase without the customary card. Mv first impulse was to throw it away, when, as J shook it, something rattled inside. I unscrewed the light cover with difficulty and dumped the contents on the table. It was a small, white en- velope. Hastily tearing it open. I found a fifty- doliar bill with a square of cardboard, on which was written in cramped handwriting: “For the Red Cross.” Who could mistake that handwrit- ing? It was symbolic of Silas B. Hobbs himself. Two days later the club duly sent a note of thanks to Mr. Hobbs, but the bronze vase—it was exquisite: Quaintly carved, it now has been pol- ished. and shines with a dull, golden gleam, and has rightly occasioned more than one comment. A FIGHT WITH THE ELEMENTS (Continued from Page 34.) where they were provided with hot food and drink and dry clothing by the Coast Guardsmen. When they had recovered sufficiently from the effects of their terrible experiences, they wen- sent to their respective homes at the expense of the government. The passengers and crew of the ill-fated vessel, all of whom had been rescued, were very grateful to the Coast Guards, and remember their lonely life now by sending them tobacco, candy and magazines, which arc much appreciated. The ship, which was a small coastwise steamer, had been disabled by the breaking of its machin- ery. and was drifting when overtaken by the storm. It was an ojd ship, and had not been equipped with wireless. As it had not sunk in very deep water, it was salvaged by its owners and was not a total loss. 30 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATO I On Friday. November 11. the third anniversary ■of Armistice Day was celebrated throughout the entire worid. Three years ago on this day there was great rejoicing everywhere, as at 11 o'clock ■orders were given to cease firing, and an armis- tice was declared, bringing the W orld War to an «end. A few minutes after 11 the news was cabled to the United States and immediately whistles and bells began to ring all over the land. A holiday was declared, and many who had loved ones fighting “over there” were filled with joy at the :good news. For the past two years November 11 has been 'declared a national holiday in memory of the ■signing of tile armistice which brought to a close the most terrible war in history. As it comes so near Thanksgiving Day. it seems appropriate that prayer of thanksgiving be uttered for that •armistice which stopped the carnage of war, and one of gratitude to those brave boys who sacri- ficed their lives in France that we might live in freedom and peace. This year this plan was adopted, and at 12 o’clock noon, all over our land, people stopped in what they were doing and offered thanksgiving to that unknown soldier who symbolized the army of heroes who lie in Flanders Fields and ■elsewhere. We should be extremely thankful for Armistice Day. and may it be the last one in a world of rpeace. Exercises commemorating the third anniver- sary of Armistice Day were held in the High School Auditorium on Thursday. November 10. 1 he following program was presented, Headmas- ter Avery presiding:— Reading of Armistice Day Proclamation Mr. Avery Assembly of Flags: Flag bearers James Bird, Andrew Pike Bugles Cleon Hopkins.

November 9. at I o’clock, a fire broke out in the Young Men’s Christian Association Building on Highland Avenue, trapping twenty-four young men. eighteen of whom occupied rooms on the third and fourth floors. A general alarm was sounded and the firemen did fine work in preventing a general conflagra- tion. although the Y. M. C. A. Building itself was completely gutted, 'file firemen, with the aid of civilian assistants, carried the men to safety. There was but a single loss of life, a veteran of the World War. 37 SOMERYTLI.!•; HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Nothing was saved from the burning' building, and tiie damage is estimated at $100,000. As it •was insured for $80,000. it is said that it will soon be rebuilt upon the same site. The Y. M. C.

A. and its privileges is greatly felt by the many members who are students of the Somerville High School. Recause of the lack of a well equipped gym- nasium in the school, the Y. M. C. A. had extended the privileges of its gymnasium, free of charge, to the basket ball and indoor hockey teams of the school. Ralph Lamont, S. 11. S.

Mr. Lamont graduated from Tufts Col- lege last year and is making his debut in the theatrical world. While attending the Somerville High School he was interested in drama, and is remembered by his excellent work in staging Suilivan’s “Pinafore” in 1916. RALPH LAMONT. —Courtesy of Tufts Weekly. LIBRARY DEPARTMENT W e welcome our new librarian. Miss Edna C. Woodbury. Miss Woodbury is a graduate of Somerville High School and Tufts College. She aiso took a graduate library course at Simmons College. Miss Woodbury has had considerable ■experience at the Somerville Public Library. We extend cordial greetings to her and hope her stay with us will be long and pleasant. Let us do all we can to make this possible. Due to the fact that the arrival of our librarian was somewhat late, there have been no new books added to our library shelves. Miss Woodbury is working hard to procure new ones for us as soon as possible. It will also, perhaps, be interesting to know that the public library i working with the school and will be glad to loan it whatever books are needed in our work. T here are magazines of especial interest and value, as the monthly and weekly current event magazines: Scientific American. Travel. System. Independent. Review of Reviews, World’s Work. Literary Digest and the Outlook. Tiie shelves of the West Lihrarv also hold some of the best dramas, as:— The Amazing Interlude, Mary Roberts Rhinchart Thread of Flame, Basil King journey’s End. Edna Brown The Crisis, Winston Churchil! School for Scandal. Sheridan In order to make our use of the library easier there is a filing cabinet that contains a list of all up-to-date authors and their works. Start now and become acquainted with the library.

S0MKRV1LLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 39 Somerville 6, Brookline 0 Somerville whitewashed Brookline by a score of 0—0 in the first game Brookline High played on her home field this season. In the first quarter it was easily seen that both teams were evenly matched. Neither team was making any headway until Blackman the Red •and Blue quarterback, intercepted a forward pass and made a spectacular run for 80 yards «down an open field for a touchdown. Somerville failed to kick the goal. During the remainder of the game Brookline tried rushing the ball, but the Red and Blue line, -although with many subs in it. held like a stone wall. This marked improvement and the bril- liant work of Captain Kelliher and McPhail pre- vented Brookline from scoring. Captain Kelliher. McPhail and Blackman starred for Somerville. Williams and Gentle were Brookline’s shining lights. SOM ERYTLLK HIGH. BROOK LINK HIGH. Kelliher (Capt.), l.c......r.e.. Swctt. Robinson •Corradi, l.t..............r.t., Johnson.

Somerville opened the game with line plunges which netted large gains. In this period Somer- ville received a penalty which brought them down to their 10-yard line. Here Marmaud, tearing through a large hole in Medford’s line, carried the ball for 15 yards. The quarter ended by an offside punt by Sandstrom. In the second period the Red and Blue players smashed through Medford’s line and advanced the ball to Medford’s 20-yard line, only to lose the pigskin on an incomplcted forward pass. In the second half of the game the Red and Blue marched down the field for GO yards. This gain was made by Marmaud’s and Buckley’s can- non-like plunges and a forward pass worked by Blackman to McPhail. Somerville used a lateral pass which brought another 10 yards. The game ended with the ball in Medford's possession in midfield. Somerville 7, Malden 17 Somerville was defeated on the Malden High School Athletic Field by Malden by a score of 17 to 7. Somerville is the first team that has been able to cross Malden’s goal this season. In the first three minutes of play Buckley intercepted a Maiden forward pass. and. knocking the Malden players down like ninepins, raced for 70 yards and placed the ball on the home team’s 5-yard line. A line plunge by Marmaud carried the baji over. Sandstrom kicked the goal. With the wind against the Red and Blue, Sandstrom made two ofYs'dc kicks, and the ball was finally put into play on Somerville’s 40-yard line. In this period and through ail the game Somerville was handed many penalties. After one of these numerous penalties Lcwin. of Malden, ran around right end for a touchdown. Sandberg kicked the goal. Malden by line plunges succeeded in placing the ball on Somerville's 25-yard line, from where a field goal was kicked. In the last of the first half the Red and Blue broke all records for speed, and had the ball on Malden’s 20-yard line as the half ended.

We may dissect your stories. Your athletic notes and such; And though we say a little. We’ll really not say much. You, too. may read and criticise Our paper which we send: And now that all is understood, We hope you’re each our friend. Sedan, Hampshire Academy—The commence- ment number of the Sedan was extremely inter- esting. Your alumni editor must be a hustler. Your column of personals is clever, but why not have an alphabetical list of exchanges? Come again, and welcome. Review, Medford High School—You are one of our most popular exchanges and will be heartily welcomed at all times. The class poem. “These Three,” in the June number is a remarkable piece of work. However, your class notes could be arranged to a better advantage, and where, oh, where, are your cuts? Red and White. Todd Seminary. 111.—We are very glad to welcome you again this year. Yours is a well written, well arranged paper, and your jokes are extremely clever. Banner. Rockville High School, Conn.—We arc very glad to welcome you to our exchange col- umn. Your jokes are very good, but you cer- tain!) do pick on the poor little freshmen. Lawrence High School Bulletin—We were delighted with your October number. Of all our exchanges, your literary department is the finest. Your literary staff must be a wonder. Come again, and welcome. Grotonian. Groton School—We always eagerly await the arrival of the Grotonian and are sel- dom disappointed. Your literary department is fine, but a few jokes would add greatly to the attractiveness of your paper. Gale, Revere High School—Your blustering June Gale arrived. Your “Senior Biographs” are clever, but we did not care for your department, “Moonbeams.” Blue and Gold, Malden High School—We heartily welcome you back to our exchange column and hope you will come often. Your athletic notes are fine, especially your personal notes on football players. Your jokes are good, but could you not increase your alumni notes ? ATHLETIC NOTES (Continued) Malden broke through Somerville’s line for large gains, making first downs repeatedly. Then Somerville’s line rallied and held Malden for downs. In the last period Malden carried the ball to the visitors 10-yard line, and with two plays put the ball across. The goal was again kicked by Sandberg. The game ended with the ball in Somerville’s possession on their 25- yard line.

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Safety SCIENCE has shown folks some mighty unpleasant statistics about the relationship of dirty milk to infant mortality. Epidemics of Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Septic Sore Throat, Diphtheria and Tuberculo- sis of constant recurrence have been traced to milk. Public Health and Government officials are almost unanimous in their findings that the only safe milk is milk that has been Perfectly Pasteurized. Pasteurized Milk is milk that has been heated to a temperature of one hundred and forty-five degrees — held for thirty minutes at this tem- perature— cooled quickly to fifty degrees or less, and kept cold. The entire organization of H. P. Hood Sons recognizes its respon- sibilities for all the Hood’s Milk it distributes. Hood’s Milk is Perfectly Pasteurized—it is safe. In seventy-five years - three quarters of a century of continuous service not a case of disease has been traced to Hood’s Milk. A record without equal. USE HOOD’S MILK H. P.

In this present-day hustle and bustle of selfish «endeavor, few of us stop to consider the full sig- nificance of the Christmas season. On Decem- ber 25th we commemorate the birth of one who •died for others and through the generations that spirit has manifested, itself on this day. Let us lay aside all ill-feeling, ingratitude and petty discords, and bend all our efforts to doing our ■share to alleviate the suffering and lighten the burdens of others less fortunate. Despite the fact that our football team was not very successful this season, it played well and finished creditably considering the very late start and the trouble occasioned while appoint- ing the coach. The school appreciates the ef- forts of Coach Ayer, Captain Kelliher and every player on the squad and honors them for what they did do rather than blames them for what they did not do. But football is not the only •sport on the season’s program and the track •and hockey teams need the support of the school. 'You can show your school spirit by trying out for the teams or giving them your support in the form of cheers and words of encouragement dur- ing practice or at the games. Let us see if we «cannot stage a comeback in athletics by produc- ing champion teams in track and hockey and Hater baseball. Who said anything about a well-equipped gymnasium � or the S. H. S.? There was a very good showing on the No- vember Honor Roll by all the classes, although there is room for improvement in the class of 1923. Wake up. juniors! There is also plenty of space for those seniors whose names have not appeared on the Maximum Credit List. How about the filing system. Students Coun- cil ? Can you not devise a plan by which thei teachers may be relieved from the duties of traffic policemen during filing? It has been ac- complished in other schools, why not in S. H. S. ? The week of December 4-10 was nationally observed as American Education Week. It was observed in Somerville by a mass meeting held in the High School Hall by the Somerville School Association in co-operation with the Par- ent-Teacher Association. The educational pro- gram for the coming year was discussed and Superintendent of Schools Clark spoke con- cerning the school budget for next year. Dur- ing Education Week the High School was thrown open to visitors that they might see all of the various departments and laboratories of the school in operation. There are six tests of an educated man or woman: First, correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue: second, refined and gentle manners which are the expression of fixed habits of thought and conduct: third, sound standards of feeling and appreciation: fourth, power of reflection; fifth, power of growth; sixth, the ability to do efficiently, without ner- vous agitation. — Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 GREGORY PAUL BAXTER Born at Somerville, Mass., March 3, 187(5. Soil of George Lewis and Ida E. (Paul) Baxter. Prepared for college at Somerville High School. Degree of A. B. at Harvard in 1896. Degree of A. M. in 1897. Degree Ph.D. in 1899. Address: Coolidge Memorial Laboratory. Residence. 59 Francis Avenue, Cambridge. For three years af- ter graduation studied chemistry in the Harvard Graduate School, serving at the same time as assistant and instructor in chemistry. In 1899- 1900 was substitute for professor in chemistry at Haverford College. The next two years was assistant professor in charge of the chemical department at Swarthmore College. In 1902 re- turned to Harvard as instructor in chemistry and has been there since. In 1916 became pro- fessor of chemistry and has been chairman of the division of chemistry since 1911. Outside o? teaching and administrative du- ties has been able to carry on considerable re- search and had charge of the planning and build- ing of one oi the new chemical laboratories at Harvard (the T. Jefferson Coolidge Jr. Memor- ial Laboratory). During the war he conducted various investi- gations connected with gas warfare for the Bu- reau of Mines and later the Chemical Warfare Service of the War Department. In the last years of the war he served as consulting chem- ist of the War Department in charge of the branch laboratory of the Chemical Warfare Service located at Harvard College. At the close of the war he delivered a Lowell Institute course of six lectures on “ I he Chem- istry of the War. ’ He is a member of the Harvard Club of Bos- ton, Colonial Club of Cambridge. Oakley Coun- try Club of Watertown, National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sci- ences. American Association for Advancement of Science, American Chemical Society. We quote the following as showing the great value of Professor Baxter’s research work:— “With Professor Theodore W. Richards, direc- tor of the Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory at Harvard, Professor Gregory I . Baxter has won high honors in chemical research in deter- mining the atomic weights of nearly forty of the ninety or more chemical elements out of which everything in the universe is built. The investi- gations of the two cover a period of thirty-five years, extending up to the present time. “ ith no expectation or hope of obtaining prac- tical results, professors of chemistry at Harvard are each day finding out additional facts about the laws of nature which can be used by chem- ists and engineers throughout the world to com- mercial advantage. “Largely on account of his work in this field of chemical research. Professor Theodore W. Richards. ‘86. Nobel prize winner in 1914 and di- rector of the Wolcott Gibbs memorial laboratory at Harvard, has been appointed a member of the international committee on elements, while Pro- fessor Gregory P. Baxter. ’96. formerly a pupil of Professor Richards and now an independent investigator at Harvard, has been chosen for the international committee on atomic weights. “'J'he data obtained in the Harvard laboratories by these two men and their assistants are now being used by thousands of chemists through- out the world in their daily work, and the re- searches in which they were obtained have thrown new light on the perplexing problem of the nature of matter.

Grush, 1922 HE sun was fast sinking behind the snow-clad peaks, and flooded the thickly populated valley below with golden rays. They made no im- pression on the dark, gloomy dwellings of the city, but when they struck the Arcadian skating rink, situated on the high school grounds, it made a pretty sight espe - cially from the heights. They gave the rink the appearance of being a sparkling jewel flashing in a sable setting. A game was in progress and from a distance the players seemed like water bugs, as they darted back and forth across the silver surface in pursuit of the puck. Drawing near to the scene of action, one quickly catches the excitement of the contest. The gold jer- seyed skaters speeding silently over the ice to gain possession of the black disk, and an occa- sional cheer or word of encouragement from the thinly scattered spectators around the sides of the rink, are enough to furnish a thrill to any sport lover. On this particular afternoon the high school hockey team was holding a practice session. Arcadia, a thriving mining city in one of the northwestern states, boasted a formidable hockey squad in the Northern Interscholastic League. Every person who had any civic pride was ready and willing to stand behind the manly, muscular youths who made up the high school team, and represented the city so well. This year the league winner was to be rewarded by a trip to the East, where it was to clash with the school champions of that section of the country. All expenses were to be paid by wealthy backers of the eastern school seven. Al- though the league was composed of four clubs it was almost a two-team race for the cham- pionship. Arcadia and Sherbrooke, a neighbor- ing mining city, were the two outstanding teams, while Regina and St. Andrew’s school offered minor opposition. The rivalry which ex- isted between the two first-mentioned schools was extremely keen, mainly for one reason. The respective mining cities were great commercial rivals and were eager to outstrip each other in growth and progress. A trip to the East by a high school team rep- resenting its city would not only establish the athletic prestige of the city but would also pro- mote its business interests. Therefore, with so much at stake, both school sevens were bent on winning the pennant. The average sporting editor, comparing the relative strength of the Gold Bugs and Copper Heads, as the citizens nicknamed the school hockey teams, would have picked the Arcadian seven as the best because of an individual star in its lineup. Tom Gilbert, the rover, known as the Phantom on account of his swiftness and uncanny skill at shooting goals, was the star of the Gold Bugs and many Sherbrooke support- ers sarcastically called the rival seven a “one- man” team. This was an unjust criticism, for the other members of the Arcadian squad, though not nearly as good as their famous rover, were ready and willing players, and it was through no fault of their own that tiiey had no chance to figure prominently in any of the vic- tories. Gilbert, like many hockey stars, preferred to play the game alone, not to gain personal credit but because he thought he could win the contest without the aid of his fellow players. This kind of playing has been responsible for the intro- duction of a new term in the Canadian national game—namely, “hogging” the puck, and it fitted the Arcadian Rover perfectly. From the be- ginning of the season - Gilbert had insisted on hogging” the rubber disk, and every game meant to him the matching of his own ability against that of the entire opposing team. As long as the Phantom’s style of playing continued to win games for Arcadia, the sporting popula- tion of that city was satisfied. The other play- ers did their best and made no comment, but it caused Jim Dawson, the athletic instructor, a considerable amount of worry. Dawson, an athlete of Yale fame, was experi- encing his first year at coaching at Arcadia and wanted to make it a successful one. Team. - work was the former Blue athlete’s doctrine, but the refusal of the best player on the team to live up to this principle endangered his chances for success. The persistent talks to Gilbert were of no avail. The confident rover was sure his method was the best and would not listen to the advice of the coach. In the last game played, an out-of-town affair with St. Andrew's school, lie had deliberately employed rough tactics in “interference play” in order to be ruled off the ice by the referee. His object was to show the Arcadian instructor how weak the team’s offensive was without his presence in the line-up. He succeeded well, for the Gold Bugs barely won a 4-3 verdict in an overtime period. The afternoon of the opening of our story a special practice was held at the Arcadian rink and Dawson outlined several new plays to his men to be used in offensive work. Gilbert, as (Continued on page 59) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 £ The Christmas Spirit £ Florence Hanna, 1922 IMME a dime, mister?” begged a shrill voice. “Aw, please! I only need a dime more to buy Happy a present. Gee, youse got a kind look !” Mr. Madison stopped and glanced at the urchin in amusement. “And who might Happy be, sonny?” he questioned. “She’s my sister, but she can’t walk,” said the boy sorrowfully. “She ain’t no cry-baby, though,” he confided. “She allers smiles when me and Maw come in.” 1 he man produced a twenty-five cent piece and dropped it in the boy’s palm. A tear trickled down the child’s thin little check as he whispered hoarsely, “God bless yer!” Mr. Madison paused under an arc light and sprung the catch of a small velvet jewel case. Inside on its satin cushion lay a beautiful string of pearls. “I hope Audrey will be pleased with these. Would that sometime she might be as satisfied with what life otters as that little chap!” he mused. An hour later Dannv sped up a dark alley with t queer-looking bundle which he held vertically, and a bag which he grasped rather gingerly, l ie entered a stuffy hall. When he reached the top of a seemingly end- less flight of stairs lie knocked three times. A tired-looking woman opened the door. “Look what I got. Maw! Look, Happy!” the boy 'houted gleefully. A small figure lying on a cot in a corner of the room smiled wistfully. The woman shook her head warninglv at the boy and whispered, “Her back is worse.” Dannv lifted a three-legged table nearer the cot and shoved a wooden box under one corner. He carefully unwound the paper from the pack- age and behold, there was a miniature Christ- mas tree. Its tiny branches were decked with tinsei. and fragile ornaments glistened here and there, while i jolly Santa Claus was fastened on the highest branch. Happv drew in her breath. “Oh!” she breathed. “Oh!” “Here!” cried Danny, but the child could not take her eyes from the tree. “Look, Maw!” Dannv opened the bag and took out three eggs. “We’ll have them for breakfast.” He smacked his lips. It was very late. Danny and his mother sat in silence. Happy’s face was wreathed in a wonderful smile. All the lines of pain and suiter- ing that had marred her pinched little features seemed smoothed away. Her eyes were fixed on the Christmas tree and her arms out- stretched. An angel came and bore her gently away, while the tree sparkled in all its splendor. In another section of the city a woman ex- claimed pettishly: “Oh. Harry! You know I wanted a ring.” ATHLETICS SOMERVILLE, 6—RINDGE, 13 Somerville, in the last game of the season, re- ceived defeat at the hands of Rindge on Thanks- giving Day at Russell Field, Cambridge. Thanksgiving Day could not be called an ideal day for football, for the snow that fell continu- ally throughout the game handicapped both teams and made the thousands that attended the game very uncomfortable. Somerville entered ♦fie game doubly handicapped owing to the wet field and the loss of McPhail and Sandstrom. Captain Kellihcr played his usual game while McPhail’s. Buckley’s and Eermoile’s work re- ceived much notice. Captain McBride starred for Rindge. SOMERVILLE, 0—EVERETT, 6 Somerville High met defeat at the hands of Everett High on Armistice Day at Dilboy Field, West Somerville, by the score of 6—0. The wet and treacherous field made foot- work very uncertain for both teams. In the last period by end runs and a forward pass Everett advanced the ball to Somerville’s 12-yard line. By swift work they succeeded in making first down op the home team’s 2-yard line. The game ended with the ball in Everett’s possession on Somerville’s 40-yard line. 58 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR An Eleventh Hour Surprise Barbara Harding. 1924 T was Christmas Eve, but Cath- erine was not happy. She was heavy-hearted because this night, just before her father and the rest of the family had gone to visit some friends, he had told her that she could not have a saddle horse for a C hrist- mas present. He considered horseback riding too dangerous for a girl of only fifteen. Now she was alone in the house except for her two younger sisters, who were asleep. Going up stairs to her father’s room, as he had ■asked her to do, she securely locked the drawer containing the jewels which he had brought home from his store for safe keeping. She heard the clock.strike eleven and hurried downstairs to finish trimming the Christmas tree, thinking all the time of the horse she could not have. While she was putting on the tree the mirror of the toilet set which was her Christmas pres- ent to her older sister, she happened to glance in it and saw the figure of a man with a black mask over his eyes and a shiny revolver held firmly in a strong, steady hand. The mirror fell crashing to the floor and Catherine stood rooted to the spot. Her back was turned to the in- truder. who evidently did not know that she had seen him and probably attributed the fallen mir- ror to an accident, as he still stood motionless. Katherine’s first thought was of the jewels. Those were what he wanted! She had always thought ever since she was a little girl that she would be equal to scaring a burglar, but now when confronted by this one she was quite help- less. Suddenly an idea came to her. Why not make believe she had not seen him and allow him to think she was vexed for breaking the mirror at the last moment? Then a panic seized her. What if he should seize her and then tie her? She thought of the jewels and straightway her cour- -age came. Putting her hands over her face she began to cry. and at the same time she ran out of the room sobbing: “Oh. dear, I have broken the new mirror!” If she could only reach the stable where her brother Jack’s horse was before the robber could guess her scheme! Going out into the kitchen she softly opened the door and ran to the barn, which never seemed so far away, only to find the door locked. Undaunted she made a snowball and hurled it through the glass of the window. She climbed in. cutting her hands and arms on the broken glass. After unlocking the door she jumped onto the obedient horse and galloped out of the barn, making for the nearest house, which was more than a mile away, where her family were visit- ing. Clinging to a horse without a saddle is hard. It was doubly hard for Catherine because the horse slipped many times on the glassy ice and snow, and her hands were bleeding more and more at every jolt. Finally after hard riding she reached the house, whose occupants had heard her coming. Numbed with the cold she gasped out the story in the arms of her father, who she knew would be ruined if the jewels were stolen. All the men of the house, together with her father and brother, leaped on their horses and galloped back to her house. Entering stealthily by the back door they stationed themselves at the front and back doors, while Jack climbed the stairs to his father’s room, where he found the robber with the bureau drawer open, fumbling among the handkerchiefs for the jewel box. At the command of “Hands up!” he staggered back, but obeyed the command. Then Jack shouted to the men below to come up. Tying the prisoner securely, Catherine's father looked proudly at her and said: “You fellows call the police to take this man away. I am going into town to get a certain white horse for a brave SOM ER VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 THE PHANTOM ROVER (Continued from page 06) usual, resorted to “one-man” play, but to such an extent that the instructor, the strain of the season beginning to tell upon him. reached the end of his patience. As soon as darkness ended play he dismissed the players with the excep- tion of the rebellious rover. It was a common occurrence for Gilbert to be detained by the coach at the clubhouse, adjacent to the rink, after practice, and the boys passing out would merely comment: “Dawson is going to waste some more time talking to the Phantom.” Once someone had jokingly replied: “He might just as well talk to a phantom as talk to Tom Gilbert.” How true this remark held is readily seen by the following conversation :— “You thought you were doing a smart thing yesterday when you marred your reputation for fair plav just to show up the team’s offense.” commented Dawson when they were alone, “but I’m not going to talk about that. If 1 had in- tended to I would have done sc before. What you did today isn’t what I’m going to talk about either, although I’ll tell you now if I had my way about it I would make you follow out my instructions or get off the team. However, you see how I am situated. This city is hockey mad and is bound that our seven shall win the pennant. You are a natural born skater, a skill- ful hockey player and have acquired quite a name for yourself in these parts. If I should bench you, a storm of indignant protests would be raised and I would be accused of selling out to Sherbrooke. 1 have reached the conclusion that the Copper Heads can beat our team any- way with you at your best—unless you comply with my plan of co-operation. From a certain reliable source I have gathered the information that Sherbrooke is being coached and whipped into form for their next contest with us by east- ern hockey experts who arc well adapted to your style of play and are training their charges how to deal with it. When that contest is played you will be able to accomplish very little by yourself. I know you don’t take any stock in my advice and I don’t expect you to. All I want to sav is—when we leave the rink in defeat after the Sherbrooke game, just remember the score might have been different if you had listened to me.” “I am indeed fortunate in having the public behind me.” said Gilbert, “for under those cir- cumstances I can do as I wish on the rink, and 1 choose to continue my own way of playing. We beat Sherbrooke in the opening game of the season and I don’t believe they are any different now, barring a slight improvement. You’re just being fed up on propaganda circu- lated by Sherbrooke sport writers. The Copper Heads are flushed by a succession of victories over Regina and St. Andrew’s, but wait until they meet us again and they will be good for another beating.” “Very well, if we can’t reach any agreement consider the talk finished,” concluded Dawson turning to go. “So long. Mr. Dawson; don’t lose any sleep over me,” was the ironical reply. “And don’t forget it is never too late to- mend,” was the Yale man’s parting shot. The Regina high school team was the attrac- tion at the Arcadian rink the following after- noon and as it was the last home game of the season and the last one before the important clash with Sherbrooke, a good number turned out to see it. There was no doubt as to the outcome of the struggle, for the Queens were deeply embedded in the cellar position and had bttle to offer against the league-leading Gold Bugs. Before the game Roy Sheldon, the cap- tain of the Arcadian seven and one of Tom Gil- bert’s closest friends, questioned the rover about his latest conference with “the old Yale bull- dog,” as Dawson was frequently called. “Poor old Jimmie has taken to heart these wild reports about Sherbrooke being confident of beating us,” laughed the Phantom. “I had to laugh when 1 read the headlines of the Sherbrooke ‘Sentinel’ this morning, ‘Copper Heads Make War Paint.’ and the report contained a vivid ac- count of how the Phantom Rover was to be scalped.” “It is going to be a tough contest just the same. ’ returned the Arcadian captain, “more so lor you, because you were responsible for their only defeat this year and they will probably lay for you.” “My theorv is. if we beat them once we can do it again.” said Gilbert, “but the referee is signalling us to get ready. Forget about the Copper Heads and watch me clean up the Queens.” The Phantom Rover kept his word. Immedi- ately after the “face-off” the puck came into his possession, and handling it adroitly, he flashed down the field, dodging his opponents cleverly. Nearing the goal, an inner defense player confronted him and attempted to check his swift progress. The Phantom slowed up a bit, caromed the disk off the side of the rink and sweeping by the oncoming skater, resumed possession of it. and in another turn of his stick shot it through the goal posts for the first score. The teams lined up again and went at it once more. Gilbert repeated his clever stunt and an- 00 SOMERVILLE HIGH other goal was chalked up for Arcadia. By speedy, marvelous playing he scored a number of goals in rapid succession and penetrated the Regina defence at will. The contest ended in the Gold Bugs' favor by the overwhelming score of 12-0. The majority of the goals were credited to Tom Gilbert, who played his best game of the year. Although he did not acknowledge it to his companions, the rover had been a bit disturbed by his last talk with the coach and to make sure that his “one-man style was invulnerable had played his hardest. On the Friday before the game Jim Dawson took the entire squad to the indoor rink at Sherbrooke to become acquainted with the place, and a final practice was held. The vast- ness of the house made a deep impression on the skaters, and one commented, on looking over the empty galleries: “We laugh and talk lightly, and feel at ease now, but wait until to- morrow night when the stands are filled with people and it will be different. At seven o’clock, the time scheduled for the big event, there was scarcely an empty seat to be found in the house. Both sevens went through a preliminary work-out and with a last word of advice from their instructors took their places. The Arcadian boys, used to playing outdoors and before a few people, were stage-struck by the dazzling lights overhead and the great, noisy crowd watching them. Their rivals were similarly affected, but perhaps the thought of the sterner task that confronted them made them less nervous. It was a tense moment be- fore the referee’s whistle blew, but when the echo of it had sounded in the rafters of the building the spell was broken and the glorious battle was on. Gilbert, gathering in the puck after the “face- off, started to swoop down into enemy terri- tory. but he was hemmed in before he had a chance to get up his speed and in a hot scrim- mage lost the black disk. A Sherbrooke for- ward with splendid interference carried the puck dangerously near the Arcadian goal and by a swift peg succeeded in sweeping it past the 3old Bugs’ goal-tender. The umpiic raised his arm to indicate that a score had been made and instantaneously the rink rang with the thun- derous cheers of the Sherbrooke supporters. The Arcadian side was strangely silent over the un- expected turn of affairs. It sent a sudden chill to their hearts which had been so confident of victory a moment before. The teams lined up once more and the Gold Bug skaters, caught off their guard so easily the first time by the Phantom's failure to hold on to the puck, determined to be more vigilant. Angry SCHOOL RADIATOR at the knowledge that he had been outwitted. Rover Gilbert set to work with a vengeance after the second “face-off.” Picking the disk from a lively scrimmage in which he sustained r number of bruises, for the heavy Sherbrooke skaters were inclined to use rough play, he made his escape. Several alert Copper Heads gave pursuit and their leader, endeavoring to reach the stick of the fleet rover, continually chopped at his legs. The excited Gilbert would not have cared if it had not caused him to miss his shot at the Sherbrooke goal, but annoyed by his sec- ond failure and the mean play of his opponent, lie rail into him and knocked him over forcibly. The player scrambled to his feet and returned the compliment with a smash in the face. The referee stopped what would have been a lively fight. “He tried to trip me on purpose,” protested the rover, rubbing his stinging face. “Sore because we’ve got him numbered,” was the jeering reply of the other. The crowds hooted and hissed so much that the official ruled the two offenders off the ice for the remainder of the period and six-man hockey prevailed. When the whistle sounded for lise half, the score stood 3-1 in favor of the Copper Heads. The cheering sections of the schools used the intermission to a good advan- tage singing and wildly cheering their favorites. Sherbrooke was bubbling over with elation at being able to pay back their rivals for the early season defeat, while Arcadia, although surprised by the marked improvement in their opponents, was sure that the invincible Phantom Rover would lead them to victory. When Tom Gilbert took his place at the be- ginning of the second half he was given a grand ovation by the faithful Arcadian rooters despite his previous conduct. The cheers sent pangs of regret to his guilty heart, for lie realized too late that Jim Dawson was right in criticizing his style of playing and that through his cocksure- ness he was to blame for the fall of the Arcadian seven. Somewhat dazed from the blow received in his encounter but nevertheless sobered by it. he determined to fight to a finish. He did put up a game battle, but combined play dominated over liis individual style and he was constantly covered and hard pressed by the Sherbrooke skaters. Precious moments flew In and the half steadily diminished. With less than five minutes left to play, a spark kindled Gilbert’s dying hopes. He re- membered wise Jim Dawson’s last remark. “It is never too late to mend.” -Why hadn’t he thought of it before when he saw it was im- possible to win by playing the game alone? he questioned himself.

G2 S0MKRV1LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR LIBRARY 1)EPARTMENT (Christmas (Customs atth Srltrfs A Scandinavian .myth of great antiquity speaks of a “service tree” sprung from the blood-drenched soil where two lovers had been killed by violence. At certain nights in the Christmas season mysterious lights were seen flaming in its branches, that no wind could ex- tinguish. One tale describes Martin Luther as attempt- ing to explain to his wife and children the beauty of a snow-covered forest under the glittering, star besprinkled sky. Suddenly an idea sug- gested itself. He went into the garden, cut off a little hr tree, dragged it into the nursery, put some candles on its branches and lighted them. ‘‘It has been explained,” says another author- ity, “as being derived from the ancient Egyptian practice of decking houses at the time of the winter solstice with branches of the date palm— ihe symbol of life triumphant over death, and therefore of perennial life in the renewing of each bounteous year.” The Egyptians regarded the date palm as the emblem not only of im- mortality, but also of the starlit firmament. Some of the traditions may have been strongly influenced by the fact that about this time the jews celebrated their Feast of Chanuckah or Lights, known also as the Feast of Dedication, of which lighted candles were a feature. In Ger- many the name for Christmas Eve is Weihnacht, the Night of Dedication is called the Feast of Lights. As a regular institution, however, it can be traced back only to the sixteenth century. Dur- ing the Middle Ages it suddenly appears in Strassburg; it maintained itself along the Rhine for two hundred years, when suddenly at the be- ginning of the nineteenth century the fashion spread all over Germany, and by fifty years later had conquered Christendom.—W. S. Walsh in “Curiosities of Popular Customs.” The Star of Bethlehem, as seen in Holland,, is a pretty but a cheap sight, for it costs nothing. Tis the harbinger of Christmas—a huge illum- inated star which is carried through the silent,, dark Dutch streets, shining upon the crowding people, and typical of the star which once guided the wise men of the East. The young men of a Dutch town who go to the expense of this star, which, carried through the streets, is the signal that Christmas has come once again, are swayed by the full inten- tion of turning the Star of Bethlehem to ac- count. They gather money for the poor from the crowds who come out to welcome the symbol of peace, and having done this for the good of those whom fortune has not befriended, they betake them to the head burgomaster of the town, who is bound to set down the youths who form the Star Company to a very comfortable meal. ’Tis. a great institution, the Star of Bethlehem, in many Dutch towns and cities; and may it never die out. for it does harm to no man, and good to many.—Bow-Bells Annual.

(Continued from page 60) •soil’s plan of combination work still. It was his last chance and when two players met in col- lision and caused the game to be delayed for a minute, Tom Gilbert made up his mind and held an eager conference with his friend. Captain Sheldon. “I have learned riow that Dawson’s method is the best and I’ve acted the fool.” said Gilbert hurriedly. “This is no time to make regrets and I just want to tell you that I’m willing to co- operate in the time that is left.” “You’re on. Tommie.” grinned the tired Arca- dian captain, exchanging a firm handshake, “we’ll beat them yet—oh. won’t they be sur- prised !’ Surprise was no word for it when pla was resumed and Gilbert sprung the unexpected. Calling upon every ounce of his reserve energy, he broke into a fierce scrimmage and emerged with the puck in his possession. He Hashed down the side of the rink with the enemy in pursuit like a snarling wolf pack. Just as they were about to close in on him he caromed the disk off the side of the rink and on the rebound it went to Captain Sheldon, who had followed the chase from the other side entirely unpro- tected. The Arcadian leader with no one to oppose him shot the puck like lightning through ihe Sherbrooke goal-posts. Instantly the Arca- dian cheering section came to life and the Gold Bugs raised their sticks in acknowledgment of the mighty cheering rendered them by their friends. The score was now 3-2 and there were barely two minutes left. The men lined up quickly and Tom Gilbert, his heart surging with delight, sig- 64 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR nailed another play to his friend. It was not needed at that particular moment, for right af- ter the “face-off” a freak goal was scored. The puck gliding into Sherbrooke territory struck the hockey of an unprepared player and bounced through the goal-posts with the point that tied the score. The sudden loss of their two-point lead dismayed the Copper Heads and stunned their supporters. The Phantom Rover’s change of play had them at a loss what to do. Every man must be equally guarded, for there was no telling what the artful rover would e.o next, now that he was playing dependent on his fellow players. On the next “face-off” the highest point of excitement of the evening was reached. The Sherbrooke skaters massed solidly and tried to force their way right through the Gold Bugs’ defence with the puck. Spreading out in fan- shape, they bombarded the goal-keeper and kept him busy for a few minutes. Then an Arcadian got the disk and lifted it clear above the ice, sending it safely out of the danger zone. The Phantom Rover was the first to reach it. and before the enemy players could stop him he passed it over with a sweep of his stick to the other side of the rink where Sheldon, waiting for it. eluded a man who was covering him and proceeded to work his way up the rink with the disk. Mis progress checked, he shot it back to the rover, and Gilbert, near enough to the Sher- brooke goal, swiped it into the cage for the point that decided the championship. In another min- ute the game was over and the Arcadian boys- were lifted on the sturdy shoulders of their jubilant supporters and carried from the rink. Tom Gilbert declined this triumphant ride in order to have a few words alone with the coach. There was an awkward pause when they met at a deserted corner of the rink and the hero of the hour was first to speak. “I want to apologize? for my stubbornness,” he said humbly. “I re- gret now that I acted so foolishly, for I ought to have seen that your system was superior to- mine.

You’re an excep- tional player or you couldn’t have done it.” “I’m thankful that Sherbrooke did have me- ' numbered, for it showed up my old-fashioned individual style of playing,” said Gilbert. “Com- bination work is what counts in hockey after all.” THE END S.

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Safety SCIENCE has shown folks some mighty unpleasant statistics about the relationship of dirty milk to infant mortality. Epidemics of Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Septic Sore Throat, Diphtheria and Tuberculo- sis of constant recurrence have been traced to milk. Public Health and Government officials are almost unanimous in their findings that the only safe milk is milk that has been Perfectly Pasteurized. Pasteurized Milk is milk that has been heated to a temperature of one hundred and forty-five degrees — held for thirty minutes at this tem- perature— cooled quickly to fifty degrees or less, and kept cold. The entire organization of H. P. Hood Sons recognizes its respon- sibilities for all the Hood’s Milk it distributes. Hood’s Milk is Perfectly Pasteurized—it is safe.

Let each member of the school be honorable in all his dealings with his teachers and class- mates. and thereby improve the standard of the school both in discipline and scholarship, as the honor of the individual determines the ' honor of the school. Resolve to each day come nearer to the goal toward which you are striving by conscien- tiously completing each day’s work, and when you have reached your objective you will have brought honor and glory to your Alma Mater, the Somerville High School. Notice! The Junior and Sophomore writing the best short story for the Radiator this year will each receive free a subscription to next year’s Radiator. Get busy! Sometimes one hears a notice on the daily bulletin which sounds like this: “The newly- formed ‘So-and-So’s’ Club will meet at the close of school today in the Gymnasium?” “Where is that place?” Johnny asks of his “camarade,” and invariably receives the enlightening answer “I dunno.” It would be advisable for some of us to look up in a reliable diction- ary the meaning of the word Gymnasium! Wet and slippery traveling has once more arrived. There are liable to be many delays in transportation due to impeded traffic. Let us make allowances for these possible delays and arrive at school, as well as all other appoint- ments, on time. Congratulations, 1924! on the election of your officers. You have taken the first step in class organization and spirit. May you achieve success in all of your undertakings. Remem- ber always that you have graduated from the “grades” and their childishness and are now dignified sophomores of the Somerville Senioi High School. An expedition composed of trained mountain climbers is now attempting to scale Mt. Ev- erest, the highest peak on earth. The expedi- tion, which is composed of a small party of Eng- lishmen, accompanied by many Chinese coolies, is under the direction of the English govern- ment, and is commanded by Colonel Howard Bury. Mt. Everest, which is situated in the heart of the Himalaya Mountains, is over five miles in height, and has never yet been scaled by human beings. The first stage of the under- taking, which was the charting and exploring of the lower slopes of the mountain in order to find the best means of ascent, has been com- pleted. At an elevation of about four miles above sea level, the only way to the summit was found to be a narrow ridge bordered by huge glaciers and precipices almost two miles in height. The remaining 4,000 or 5,000 feet, which is the most difficult part of the under- taking, has not yet been accomplished, and it is with great interest that geographers and people all over the world await the news of the expedition’s success or failure. Our readers are again reminded that all con- tributions for the Radiator columns must be signed as evidence of good faith, and not nec- essarily for publication. No attention is paid to anonymous communications. 79 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR PERCY A. HARRISON Chief Examiner of I'nited States Civil Service Born in Charlestown, Mass., November 23, 1885. Prepared for college at Somerville High School. Graduated in Class of 1904. Degree of A. B. at Harvard in 1908. Soon after leaving college entered the Custom Service at the Port of Boston. When the United States entered the World War in 1917 he was transferred to the United States Civil Service Com- mission as special examiner and recruit- ing agent. The increased activities of the War and Navy Departments due to the war caused a great need for stenographers and typists at Washington and it was found neces- sary to send a man to visit the various com- mercial colleges and high schools in New Eng- land to speak to the pupils and to arrange ex- aminations wherever possible. During this time examinations were given daily for these positions and thousands of young men and women were sent to Washington. In 1920 Mr. Harrison took an examination for the position of assistant examiner with the Massachusetts State Civil Service and was appointed. In August, 1921, the position of Chief Examiner becoming vacant, through the resignation of the Chief Examiner to accept the position of Superintendent of Schools in the western part of the State, he was promoted to the position of Chief Examiner, a responsible and impor- tant position. Support the filing system! Do your share! ! On Monday, January 16, an assembly of the entire student body was held in the Auditor- ium, on behalf of the new motto of our school, “Honor and Progress.” Lemuel Rogers, president of the Senior class, presided and explained the purpose of the as- sembly. He was followed by Headmaster Avery, who defined the origin and purpose of mottoes, and strongly advised the students of the Somerville High School to use their motto in their daily life. He said: “Honor is like an iron chain, its strength limited to the strength of the chain’s weakest link; while Progress is a positive factor in the life of man, as his con- dition cannot remain stationary, but is either progressing or declining.” Mr. Avery then introduced the special speaker, Donald B. Smith, S. H. S., ’15. Mr. Smith, who is a graduate of Mt. Allison College in Canada, is a veteran of the World War, hav- ing served with the Canadian forces overseas. He is now doing graduate work in Harvard. As an example of the combination of “Honor and Progress,” he gave the discharging of a big gun on the battlefield. It is well known that the breech-block is the important and irre- placeable part of the mechanism of a piece of artillery; when it is necessary to abandon a gun in retreat, it is made useless to the enemy by- removing or destroying the breech-block. Mr. Smith then compared our Honor with the irre- placeable breech-block and our Progress with the projectile fired from the gun. If the breech-block, the background of Progress, is cracked or damaged, the gun will backfire and the velocity of the projectile Progress, slack- ened by the weakened breech-block, Honor, would not carry far. He then showed that Honor pays in the commercial world, as manu- facturers would not invest large sums of money in advertising worthless or inferior products. Mr. Smith closed his speech by stating that the motto “Honor and Progress” should be ex- hibited in high, conspicuous places in the school as a constant reminder; but that we should avoid having familiarity breed contempt and should put the motto into practice in athletics and all other school activities. The High School Orchestra played while the students entered and left the hall, and at the dose of Mr. Smith’s interesting speech a song was sung by a quartet composed of the Misses Walker, Stephen Hopkins, and Harold Free- man. The assembly was brought to a close by the singing of “America” by all present. The Annual Radiator Dance was held Friday afternoon, January 6, in the High School Hall. It was a complete success both socially and financially. The music, which was furnished by a five-piece orchestra, was good and was ap- preciated by all present. The editor and staff thank the entire school for their hearty co- operation. Notice! Hereafter no manuscript for the Radiator will be accepted unless written on one side of the paper only and signed by the author. 80 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Signs of the Times Headmaster John A. Avery PHYSICIAN when asked to cure a sick man diagnoses his case and prescribes the remedy. The world just now is sick as a result of the war. Each nation may have a different disease according as it has been affected and the cure for each must be different. America went into the war late and was a great factor in an eleventh-hour victory. Her satisfaction in what she did should be accom- panied with great humbleness and regret that she did not do it sooner. Instead of that she is filled with pride, with an inflated sense of the value of what she did and with a corresponding reaction on the individual that any big thing can be done by us easily and without a great deal of preparation. This reaction on the adult is not so serious because he is sobered by the balancing influence of the practical necessity for competition and for earning a living. The youth, however, lacking this balancing influ- ence, is indulging too freely in the satisfactory feeling that success comes easily and without much preparation and he is thereby suffering from mental and moral indigestion. A few of the symptoms are very apparent. They can be cured, but only by the united ef- fort of the home, the school, and the church. These most noticeable symptoms are (1) in- difference to regular effort, (2) indifference to the necessity for serious preparation, (3) an increasing love for entertainment and excite- ment, (4) a lowering of the individual moral standard. I will touch briefly upon each. (1) Our schools are in session to give chil- dren an education. This can only be done pro- viding our children go regularly to school. Fig- ures in Somerville show, however, a decrease of over three per cent, in our school attendance in the last ten years. In other words there are on the average three more absences in every hundred each day than there were in 1911. In the high school this makes an increased ab- sentee list of sixty a day or approximately 12,000 a year. In the entire city there are about 84,000 more absences per year than there were ten years ago. The chief blame for this lies in the home and with the pupils who attach so little importance to the necessity of being on the job every minute. The hardship comes more on the teacher, but what about the handicap to the next generation? (2) Accompanying this is the letting up of serious effort. A great deal is being said about assisting pupils, supervising study, relieving pressure, making work easy, etc., but not much is said about the fact that success comes more often from the realization of the necessity and value of self-imposed hard work. The charac- ter of the task is not always so essential as the fact that it has been actually accomplished by the doer. The old expression “the sweat of his brow” is unpopular now. (3) Entertainment is necessary. Too vmuch is harmful. It-cannot be denied that our youth is being over-entertained and often over- excited by the character of the entertainment. The reaction on the mental attitude is bad. There is a grave question as to the result to the future generations from a physical standpoint as well. (4) The “moral” symptom is more intangi- ble but none the less evident. A looseness of speech developed from the war has permeated youth and adults. This is indicative. As we talk, so we are. A letting down of “speech” standards means a lowering of all standards. Our newspapers are full of crime and evil things. Can these conditions exist and our young people not be affected? We know they cannot. What is the cure? Preaching and practice. We must all, old and young, speedily return to the normal. We must all preach,—and practice •—faithful and regular attention to our work, a limitation of our desire for excessive amuse- ment, and an increased reverence for sacred things and for the moral code. In this way, and in this way only, can we hope to build up a nation of leaders, a nation that will blaze a way of moral and intellectual leadership for other nations to follow. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 81 Character Hon. John M. Webster HILE it is very important and essen- tial for the young man and woman in the High School to grasp as many of the advantages to be found in that educational institu- tion as possible, I believe that spe- cial attention should also be given to the habits that are formed during these years of study and which are sometimes little thought of and seem of small importance. Thousands of years ago the wisest man of his time wrote: “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh a city.” These words are true and equally applicable for the present day. The control of one’s temper under every try- ing circumstance is a great stone in the foun- dation of success and yet many of us, eager to succeed, give but scant attention to this appar- ently small qualification. To win success one must have ambition. Do not expect some kind friend and fate to carry you up the ladder of fame; that glorious task is your own privilege. Cultivate ambition, for if you are satisfied to remain at the foot of the ladder few others climbing will stop to give you the helping hand. Many people fail to win success because they are afraid to try. If you do not have faith in yourself why expect others to have faith in you? Remember that faith in yourself with work by yourself will eventually bring success. Permanent success cannot be brought about by the disregard of the rights of others. Strive for success constantly keeping in your mind that honesty is the best policy. Just as you must have faith in yourself and your abil- ity to succeed, so you must have behind you, as you travel along the road of attainment to suc- cess, a permanent paving of honest hard work. Remember that the first great essential to hon- est living is honesty to yourself: “To thine own self be true, thou canst not then be false to any man.” Remember also that there is no special code of honesty for any one of us under any kind of circumstance. Honesty is honesty wherever and however it is found. Never allow a selfish motive to swerve you from the stand- ard which you have set yourself. Consideration for others is the highest test for character. Cultivate the habit of courtesy. An essen- tially courteous man is always kind. Thought- fulness of others means courtesy to others. While you are building the foundation of your character be sure that the stones are of strong material, composed of honesty, loyalty, unsel- fishness and courtesy, well cemented with in- dustrious, earnest effort to grasp for yourself the best there is, and to climb to the highest pinnacle in your chosen work. Build for your- self a fine character, always keeping in mind that there is a vast difference between reputa- tion and character. You may lose your reputa- tion by a single act, but character is a continual growth and can never be destroyed. Reputa- tion is what people think you are, character is what you are. RECORD OF SOMERVILLE BOYS AT HARVARD In June, 1921, 11 boys took the examina- tions. 11 boys passed. 8 boys received honors. 2 boys received honors in three subjects each. 3 boys received honors in two subjects each. 3 boys received honors in one subject each. 15 honors received in all. These honors were distributed as follows:— 7 in Mathematics. 3 in French. 2 in Latin. 2 in Chemistry. 1 in Physics. Of the public schools fitting for Harvard, Somerville High School tied with Spring- field Central High School in the number of boys entering Harvard, September, 1921. This placed Somerville High School in the fourth place among the public schools of the country in the number of students en- tering Harvard. Last year (1920-21) Somerville High School boys in Harvard all stood well. 2 received High Distinction for the year. 2 received Distinction for the year. 3 received High Fass for the year. All honor to our boys who are doing such ex- cellent work at college, thereby reflecting great credit on their school and its excel- lent teachers. 82 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Civil Service By I A. Harrison, Chief Examiner IVIL SERVICE is the term used to distinguish the civilian employees of the Federal Government as well as the various state and municipal governments. Until about 1880 there was no civil service in the United States. All Government and State offices at that time were dealt out to the mem- bers of the political party which happened to be successful in the election, and as a result of this system, when the National Government changed hands, every Republican would be dis- missed and his place filled by a deserving Democrat, or vice-versa. This naturally re- sulted in many evils. In the first place, with the change of administration, all of the experi- enced employees were discharged and their places were filled by a set of new and inexperi- enced people. This resulted in great ineffi- ciency in the Government Departments and in- creased the running expenses of the National and City Governments. In the second place, it required a great deal of time on the part of the President and Congress to decide who should get the various positions. It happened invaria- bly that there were ten applicants for each po- sition, and each of these was positive that he was the one man best entitled to it. As a re- sult, whoever the President or the Congress- man might select he was sure to make more enemies than friends. When James A. Garfield became President in 1881, he was continually pestered and annoyed by office seekers and, as is generally known, was assassinated by a man named Guiteau whom he had refused to ap- point to some office. This tragedy crystallized public sentiment and Congress passed the first civil service law in this country. Immediately after Congress had placed the National Gov- ernment on a civil service basis, various of the larger states followed suit, New York being the first and Massachusetts second. At pres- ent practically every state in this country has adopted the civil service system of selecting and appointing applicants for public positions. The United States Civil Service is divided into districts, and the first district, which covers the six New England States, has its headquar- ters at Boston. The United States Civil Service has jurisdiction over all positions in the United States Service, such as positions in the Post Office, Custom Service, Internal Revenue Service, Lighthouse Service, Weather Bureau, civilian positions in the Navy Yard and in the Quartermaster Corps. In the early days of civil service the examinations were apt to be more technical and theoretical than practical, but, during the past ten years, they have been greatly simplified and today consist generally of a mark on previous training and experience of the various applicants and a set of practical questions based on the actual duties which the man or woman is to perform. This system of choosing employees by competitive examina- tions results in relief of pressure on appointing officers, and also tends to produce a better type of public employee, since the better class of American citizens are more willing to take an examination and obtain a position on their own merit than they were to seek a favor at the hands of some political leader as it was neces- sary to do in the old days. At the present time there are about 600,000 employees in the Fed- eral Civil Service and probably at least twice as many in the service of the various states and cities in this country. It will be seen, therefore, that any system which endeavors to secure the best possible type of man and woman to fill these numerous positions is a very important feature of our system of Government, and thus needs no comment to show how important is Mr. Harri- son’s position. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 “A Chase on the Ice” By Clinton E. Miner, 22 OB KNOX was spending the winter in the northern part of Maine, and spent much of his time in the sport of that country, skating. The lakes, frozen by intense cold, offered a wide plain to the lovers of that sport. One evening just before dusk he left his home with the intention of skating a short dis- tance up the noble Kennebec. The air was clear and calm. The new moon silvered the tall pines, and the stars twinkled from their blue depths. Up the river in the stillness and solitude, Bob skated, when coming to a stream he turned in to explore its course. Along its frozen banks fir and hemlock trees formed an archway. All was dark within; but Bob was young and fearless and he shouted for joy. He stood lis- tening to the echo that reverberated again and again until it was lost in the forest. Some owls fluttered by, causing him to hold his breath to listen to their hooting. All of a sudden a sound arose which seemed to come from the very ice beneath his feet. It was loud at first and ended in a long howl. Presently he heard some twigs on the shore snap. The blood rushed to his face in a bound. The brightness of the moon shining through the opening by which he had entered, gave Bob courage and he shot toward it like an arrow. The opening was not. far away; yet, as he turned his eyes to the shore, he saw two dark objects dashing through the underbrush. It did not take Bob long to realize by their great speed and howls that they were of the much- dreaded species known as the grey wolf. The fierceness and untiring strength of these ani- mals make them objects of dread to all. The outlet was nearly gained; one second more and Bob would be comparatively safe; but his pursuers suddenly appeared upon the bank above him. There was no time for thought; instinct turned him toward home. The fierce howl of the wolves rang in his ears, but Bob dared not look back. He thought of the ones at home awaiting him, and, with this thought in mind, he put every faculty of mind and body into escape. Every minute a yelp from his pursuers told Bob they were close at his heels. He strained every muscle to quicken his speed. With all the strength in him Bob made a desperate turn which sent him out of his course. The wolves, unable to stop, and unable to turn, slipped and fell, sliding on far ahead, their tongues hang- ing from their red mouths, their bodies covered with foam. Thus Bob gained; whenever they came too near he gave a quick turn outward, the wolves getting more excited all the time. At last, pass- ing a house near the bank, a pair of hounds, aroused by the noise, barked loudly. The wolves stopped in their mad career, turned and fled. Taking off his skates Bob watched them dis- appear into the black woods. With a sigh he thanked Providence for his escape and deter- mined, if he could help it, never to trust him- self within reach of a wolf. ATHLETIC LETTERS AND SWEATERS Because of the confusion caused by various reported versions of the rules regarding the awarding of Athletic letters, attention is called to the following sections of the Constitution of the Athletic Association:— Article 13 1. Letters in all sports shall be awarded by the Executive Committee upon the recommen- dation of the coach. The requirements shall be left to the discretion of the Committee. 2. Seniors who have been faithful and dili- gent in their training, but who have not played in the games required for a letter, may be given letters by the Executive Committee. Article 14 Sweaters in the various sports may be awarded by the Executive Committee upon the recommendation of the Coach, but no student is to receive more than one sweater during a school year. Last spring a special committee to consider the awarding of letters reported as follows:— 1. That in the awarding of letters, faith- fulness and good attendance at practice should be considered as well as playing in League games. 2. That letters should be awarded as fol- lows :— (Continued on Page 84.) 84 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Sophomore class “Mel” King and “Danny”' work looks very promising. THLEITCS SOMERVILLE, 1—NEWTON, 1. The Somerville High School hockey team made many sit up and take notice when it held the Newton team to a 1—1 tie in Somerville’s first game of the season. It has been a long time since the Arena has seen such a large crowd for a preliminary school game. There were thirty minutes of fast, clean playing and the tie will be played off by a re- turn game with Newton. Somerville made its first score in the second period, when Jeremiah drove a beautiful shot into the rival cage. The fine work of Captain Drowne, Newton’s goal tend, saved the Orange and Black from defeat as the Red and Blue out- classed them in many ways. Newton tied the score when Dunlop hooked a rebound and shot the puck into the cage before Roberts could prevent it. Somerville has been fortunate in securing Dr. Walter Whittaker, a graduate of Somer- ville High, and a Tufts athlete, to assist Coach Ayer with the hockey squad, and together they expect to produce a championship team. Som- erville entered the game without Captain “Dan”’ Kelleher, who has been declared ineligi- ble, so “Hub” Dresser, right wing, acted cap- tain for the Red and Blue. Now that winter has set in our minds turn to such sports as hockey, track, snow-shoeing, etc. Somerville High expects the men of the hockey team to show fine spirit, for it takes courage to persevere. When the call came for candidates for the hockey team about forty fellows responded. Providing this interest keeps up and the stu- dents of the school back the team Somerville High School will have a team to be proud of. “Hub” Dresser. “Hick” Crandall, “Jerry” O’Neill, “Mush” Roberts and Homer Rowe are veteran players and are back with us in fine form. is represented by McFayden, whose (Continued from Page 83.)

(d) Hockey—Red-round S to be worn on a blue sweater with cross hockey sticks. (e) Tennis—Red-round S to be worn on a white sweater with T-T. Prom the above it is clearly seen that the “block” and “round” S are awarded only by vote of the Executive Committee of the Ath- letic Association and no student has a right to wear these letters unless earned by actual par- ticipation in athletics as a member of a team representing the Somerville High School. If the letter is to represent athletic profic- iency it must be reserved for players and not worn by members of the student body. The wearing of an athletic “S” by one not entitled to do so not only cheapens the letter but the wearer as well. It is hoped that mem- bers of teams and the student body will co- operate to place a greater value upon the “S.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 The Red Harvester By Kenneth A. MacLeod, '23 NE would hardly call three hundred and fifty dollars a very large capi- tal for two fellows to build a col- lege education upon. I guess that if you and I wish to attain our am- bitions we’re in for some hard steady work ahead, Jim.” “Yes, but after all, Wally, nothing really worth while is gained without more or less hardship. Many other fellows have worked their way through, why cannot we do the same ?” Such was the conversation of two high school boys as they walked down the street of a small town in Kentucky one fine morning early in April. The former speaker. Wallace Gordon, was of a tall athletic build. His clear blue eyes, with their steady, unfaltering glance, bespoke his good character, while an occasional merry twinkle told of a somewhat latent sense of hu- mor that rather balanced the somewhat stern effect of a mouth and jaw that showed great determination. His friend, James Cauldwell, was of a some- what lighter build, but his broad shoulders, good bearing and general appearance held a strong suggestion of reserve strength and en- durance. His facial characteristics indicated perseverance and the courage to win under difficulties. Both of the boys were now nearing the end of their senior year in the Bancroft High School and both hoped to continue their educa- tion in college. Their resources, however, were at a rather low ebb and the future did not look any too hopeful. Gordon’s parents having died some years before, he lived with his uncle, Angus Farquer- son, an honest but flinty-hearted old Scot, who although comparatively well-off had no inten- tion of loosening his purse strings in order that his nephew might learn “all the new-fangled ideas in these-here expensive colleges.” Jim’s father had been a great horse trainer and driver, but he had never been able to save much money, so that practically all he could be- queath his son was his racing equipment and an excellent training in horsemanship. Both boys worked afternoons while in high school, but their combined savings only aggregated some three hundred and fifty dollars. “Let’s run into Marshal’s this morning and see if there is an opening for work,” said Jim as the boys continued on their way down town. “I heard Bill Jennings say the other day—say� what in the name of all that is wonderful is the matter with old Banks, over there, you’d think by his actions that he’s gone loco.” As he looked across the street three men in violent altercation had suddenly emerged from the doorway of a large sales stable ahead of them. “Give me back my money, you thieving scoun- drel,” screeched a short, stout, grey-haired man, indicated by Cauldwell as Mr. Banks, while he violently stamped about the sidewalk in his rage. “Oh, but that is quite impossible, my dear sir. Why, the bill of sale has already been made out and anyhow you should have known what kind of a horse you wanted before you bought one,” suavely answered Mr. Denton, the crafty, smooth-tongued proprietor of the Imperial Sales Stables. “Of course we might give you another horse, if that would suit you,” he added insinuatingly, with a sly wink at his able assistant, Mr. Steinberg, who remained in the background. “Cauldwell,” said Mr. Banks, ignoring the remark, and addressing our friends as they approached. “What should a man do if he wanted a good carriage horse for his wife and were shown a fine, sound animal apparently docile and intelligent when you looked him over but which exhibited the worst signs of ill temper and viciousness after you had paid for him and were ready to take him away? Could the salesman refuse to refund your money?” “That depends on the horse,” answered Jim. ‘T could hardly tell you without seeing him.” “Well, he’s right in here and I wish you’d come in,” said Banks, as he angrily thrust aside the astonished Mr. Denton and stalked into the building, followed by the two boys and Steinberg. “There he is!” snapped Mr. Banks, as he stopped short and pointed a trembling finger to where a fine-looking bay horse ran about, kicking and snapping viciously at any- one who tried to approach him. Jim looked with the sharp, critical gaze of an expert and in his face there slowly grew an expression of admiration not unmixed with envy. Seldom had he ever seen such a fine specimen of horseflesh. Well proportioned with high-arched neck and sleek coat, free from all blemishes, magnificent; and, in spite of his apparent viciousness, Cauldwell saw that he was intelligent and knew that he possessed both endurance and speed. “How much did you pay for him?” he asked, as he fearlessly advanced, and, with the aid of 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Mr. Steinberg, managed to catch the animai and give him a somewhat closer examination. “Two hundred and fifty dollars,” said Mr. Banks ruefully. “What do you think I had better do about it?” Instead of answering, Jim crossed the build- ing to where Wally was standing, and a short, animated conversation ensued. He then ad- vanced and said: “My friend, Mr. Gordon, and I will buy the horse from you at the price you paid if such an amount would suit you. If you decide to accept we can take the horse with us now over to grandfather’s place. Then we'll go down to the bank and get you the money.” “Done!” shouted the incredulous Banks; so, in spite of the vigorous protests of Mr. Denton, the boys soon led out the angry animal at the end of two long ropes. They were closely fol- lowed by Mr. Banks, who was in a fever of ex- citement to close the deal before the boys might desire to retract their promise. The horse was soon disposed of and the old man went joyously on his way with the money in his pocket, leaving the two boys alone to con- sider the purchase they had made. ‘ Great Scot, I am afraid we’ve sunk our money in a wild-cat scheme after all,” said Wally rather resentfully, gazing at the animal. “He’s as wild as a Turk. If he keeps that way we’ll never be able to sell him.” “No chance, father didn’t teach me the methods of Rarey and Magner for nothing. If he doesn’t quiet down in a few days we’ll take him out in a field and show him a few tricks that will take all the viciousness out of him. It is an old trick of horse traders to show ap- parently gentle horses to timid purchasers and then make them appear vicious so that the buyers refuse to take them. Then the trader refuses to refund money but gets rid of an in- ferior horse in exchange. That horse has prob- ably been sold several times already by Denton although he has not been taken away until now. If we have luck I have a plan that should net us a nice bit of cash before the snow flies. The horse is only three years old and I believe he has fast pacing blood. We’ll give Denton some- thing to think about anyway.” Considerable talk was caused in the town by the transaction and all the older inhabitants branded the boys as “clean crazy” to sink their •entire savings in such a purchase. As if to dis- prove this, however, Denton made several visits to the boys and obligingly offered to re- lieve them of their purchase. The fact that their repeated refusals caused him to raise his first offer of $100.00 to over $300.00, together with the persistence which he exhibited, helped to prove that Jim’s theory was correct. Now came the slow, tedious period of train- ing under the skilful hand of Cauldwell, with the assistance of Wally. To Wally this new world of liniment, bandages, boots and hobbles was new, but Jim’s optimism proved contag- ious. Every afternoon he might be seen sit- ting on the fence circling the old Bancroft track, stop-watch in hand, eagerly watching the smooth, rapid, powerful strides of the Har- vester as he traveled around the track. True, the horse had not yet done anything remarka- ble as far as time was concerned, but he was steadily improving under careful training and did not often break now even when driven hard. “Well, old scout, how did we step it that time?” cried Jim as he turned and pulled up near his friend. “Half a second better than you’ve made yet,” enthusiastically returned Wally. “Good! Well, I hope that he shows up well at the big three-year-old futurity at Lexington next week. He’s a fighter all right and I think that with good opposition he’ll lower that mark considerably.” A week later we find Lexington filled with track followers who have come to the Great Southern Circuit Races. The stands are well filled, great crowds line the track to see the great John J. Wells futurity for three-year-old pacers. There were originally five starters, but the Duke of Cornwall, a nervous, high- strung young colt, broke very badly in the first heat and was distanced. A fast little chestnut mare called Helen R. took the heat, followed closely by Captain Kidd, Let’s Go coming in third. The Harvester narrowly escaped being distanced, for being unused to the crowds and noise he broke badly at the start and was left far behind the others. In the second heat Captain Kidd was the winner, Harvester coming in third. Let’s Go was drawn. In the third heat Harvester began to show his mettle. Having an excellent start he passed Captain Kidd on the back stretch and won the heat in 2.13 Consequently at the start of the fourth heat excitement ran high in the crowds. This heat would decide the race, and as each entry had fairly won one strongly-contested heat the race promised a close and exciting finish. The three came down to the wire closely bunched for a fine start, Harvester having the (Continued on Page 87.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 87 Florence, July 17, 1921. Dear Mr. Reynold Currier: It is with sincere admiration that I learn what importance athletics have in your school, and, with a saddened heart, I have compared it to what we are doing here. Nothing of the kind exists in Italy, where, in school, it seems that the Roman motto “Mens sana in corpore sano” has been forgotten. For the most part in Italian schools pupils do a little gymnastics, but there are no athletic sports worth speaking of. The premises of our schools are unfit for sport of any kind, but our Government has not yet resolved to have ath- letic playgrounds annexed to our school build- ings. So that if your ex-President, Roosevelt, had been an Italian instead of an American states- man, he would not have deemed it necessary to warn his sons against devoting too much time to athletic sports in college, as I see he ac- tually did in a letter published two or three years ago in one of our papers, which reads as follows:— “My dear Kermit: I am glad that you play football; but I should be sorry to see you or Ted devoting yourselves too much to sport, for I have no special ambition to see you shine very much as sportsmen, where you are at present in college, because I think that it would take up too much of your time; but I like to hear that you are active and capable of holding your own in rough and manly games.” The newspaper adds this comment: “The young Quentin, who now sleeps the hero’s last sleep on the battle fields of France, was a radi- ant example of the stuff that Roosevelt’s sons were made of.” The sportsmen of Italy, however, have elected deputies to represent them in the Italian Par- liament in the last elections, and they are going to try to convince the majority of their col- leagues of the importance of sport, especially in schools and in workshops. It is also an undoubted fact that manly sport contributes greatly to the making of valiant and disciplined soldiers. Sportsmen, accus- tomed to physical and moral efforts and to vol- untary discipline, have, on many occasions, shown themselves dauntless men-at-arms, and many have died heroically, like Roosevelt’s son, on the field of battle, in the last great war. One of the few beneficial effects to offset the many ills growing out of the war has been that of bringing the young men of Europe and those of America closer to each other, and every means devised to perpetuate and further the union thus brought about should be cultivated on both sides of the Atlantic. Yours very sincerely, Piero Candoso-Laefucs. THE REI) HARVESTER (Continued from Page 86.) pole. At the hoarse “Go!”’ of the starter they spring forward and the heat is on. Captain Kidd at first seemed to draw slowly ahead of the others, but the fighting qualities predicted by Cauldwell were evidently beginning to arise in the big bay, for without urging he speeded up and closed in on the Captain, preventing him from taking the pole. Knowing that the din of the crowds at the home stretch might trouble his horse, Jim drove the bay as fast as he dared on the back stretch, hoping to gain a little or. the others before he reached the turn. Dan Jackson and Joe Brown, drivers of the Captain and Helen It. and old reinsmen, were content for the present to turn in behind Cauldwell and follow in his trail, probably thinking that the bay could not endure long so hard a pace. As they rounded the turn both turned out and be- gan to drive their horses, using all the skill and tricks of the track only known by such old hands at the game. Young Cauldwell also be- gan to push the bay. The big Harvester re- sponded nobly. He sprang forward and with long, powerful strides tore down the stretch and flashed under the wire a winner, despite the fact that both Jackson and Brown freely used the whip near the finish. After the ap- plause had died down and he had passed the stand on the way to the stables Cauldwell faintly heard the voice of the starter as he an- nounced the result. (Continued on Page 88.) 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL The Students’ Council is one of the unique features of the Somerville High School. In contrast to the idea of student self-government which prevails in .some schools, the pupils of the Somerville High School participate in the affairs of the school in a manner which is co- operative and helpful rather than administra- tive. The plan of organization of the Students’ Council is based on the democratic form of rep- resentation. The four officers of each class— namely the President, Vice-President, Secre- tary and Treasurer-—are ex-officiis members of the Council. In addition there are six other members known as Floor Proctors. These are chosen by the proctors of the individual home rooms on each floor, there being six floors in the two buildings of the High School. This plan provides a means of conveying messages and information to the entire pupil body, as the Floor Proctors communicate said information to the room proctors of their respective floors. The President of the senior class is, by the constitution, President of the Students’ Coun- cil. Two members of the faculty are assigned by the Head Master as advisers. Regular meetings are held once every two weeks, spe- cial meetings being called when necessary. As suggested above it does not define policies of school administration, but is frequently con- sulted by the school officials for the purpose of securing opinions or co-operation from the pu- pils on policies which are in force or are being proposed. It is generally conceded that the Council is a helpful institution in the High School. Among the matters which it has discussed are methods of filing to and from recitations; cam- paigns for cleanliness in classrooms, corridors, lunch rooms and school grounds; procuring posters and mottoes for school activities; as- sisting in securing better car service and re- duced fares for the pupils of the school; con- ducting school assemblies for the promotion of school spirit, or for some particular school un- dertaking; assisting in campaigns and “drives for the benefit of the school paper, the debating societies and like activities; conducting occa- sionally school social affairs; acting as a re- ception committee at public functions, such as Parents’ Night. The most recent form of assistance rendered by the Council has been its effort to eliminate infractions of the school regulations. On a few occasions, when, in the opinion of the Council, the reputation of the school suf- fered because of some serious breach of con- duct, it has suggested to the Head Master a form of punishment for the misdemeanor, and has taken steps to impress upon the pupils at large its displeasure at such occurrences. In general the Council because of its value as a co-operating committee between the faculty and the pupils has proved to be a great assist- ance to the Somerville High School. THE REI) HARVESTER (Continued from Page 87.) “Harvester heat and race, Captain Kidd sec- ond position, Helen R. third; time on the mile 2.O714.” “All right, boys, if that is your lowest figure, I guess I’ll take him,” said Mr. Jack Worthing- ton, the well-known millionaire sportsman, as he wrote out a check for $8,000.00 in payment for the Harvester. He handed the check to Jim, and in a few minutes departed, having his driver lead away the big bay. “Gee, why $8,000.00!” said the astonished Wally, as he looked almost incredulously at the small piece of paper. Jim did not answer at once, for his eyes were following the retreating form of the big pacer, and a look of pain for an instant crossed his face, which, however, soon changed to one of happiness. “And $2,500.00 more for first money,” he answered with a smile. “$5,250.00 each looks pretty good for college, old boy.” “A good deal better than $350.00 for two,” answered Wally reminiscently, as they crossed the grounds and passed out of the main gate towards home.

THE RAINBOW Boats sail upon the rivers, And ships sail o’er the seas; But clouds that sail across the sky Are prettier far than these.

Stapleton, ’24. 90 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR During “Education Week” President Merlin, of Boston University, addressed the entire student body on “Education and Success.” He told many anecdotes of college life and said that he was always a friend and confidant of his students, but that he never answered a question that he thought the student could answer himself, as a fool could ask more ques- tions than a wise man could ever answer. President Merlin advised his audience to go through the Somerville High School but to have the Somerville High School go through them. He said that in his opinion Lincoln, Washington and Roosevelt were the greatest Americans and that Roosevelt was the greatest of these. He stated that Roosevelt had once said: “The secret of success is to live a decent life and meet all work fairly and squarely” and “Suc- cess does not depend on the position you hold but how you carry yourself in that position,” and also that “living a decent life means being decent to the cat, conductor, mother, the ash man and everyone, and have a smile for all.” President Merlin closed his address by quot- ing “Prayer for the Morning,” which is as fol- lows :— Now I get me up to work, I pray the Lord I may not shirk, And if I die before tonight I pray my work may be all right!

On Wednesday afternoon, January 4, Aldrich remained at school till 3.30 for make-up work on account of absence—and was returning home along the Boston Maine track between Winter Hill and Somerville Junction station when, as it is supposed, he was struck by a slow moving freight train. He was found in a semi- conscious condition, his right foot so badly crushed that amputation has since been neces- sary and with many lesser injuries. We are glad to learn he is rallying splen- didly—it is expected he may be removed from the hospital to his home at an early date, and we hope to see him in school again before many weeks. In the meantime various tokens of flowers, books, and a succession of “wireless” messages assure him of the regard of his school friends, by whom he is greatly missed. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 91 An interesting question has been brought to the notice of the Exchange Department and it ■would enjoy hearing the opinions of the Ex- change Departments of other schools on the subject. The Grotonian, one of our best and most popular exchanges, published the state- ment “that a great many school papers are in- clined to underestimate the value of true poe- try and that the magazine that omits verse en- tirely is far superior to that which crowds its pages, as some school papers do, with hope- lessly lugubrious, driveling doggerel.” Ex- changes, what do you say? Do the various school papers as a general rule give too much space to jokes, “hits” and personals? Should our papers publish more well-known poetry and devote more pages to intellectual matters or should they by jokes and doggerel strike the personal note and thus make the pupil feel that it is his paper? Come on, folks, what do you say? Shall it be more stories and poems and fewer jokes? Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone. Olive E. Holmes. Lawrence High School Bulletin—Your paper is full of interest. Your jokes are good, but you need more editorials, and where are your exchanges ? The Breeze, Cushing Academy—The Radia- tor is more than glad to have the Breeze blow over to us again this year. A fine paper with an excellent literary department. Your alumni editor must be a hustler and your athletic col- umn is great. A few cuts would be an addition, and your jokes are few and far between. The Review, Cambridge High and Latin— The Review is a well-arranged and well-organ- ized paper. Each department is distinct, not jumbled together as is the case of many papers. Your alumni editor must work overtime. The French and Spanish departments are a fine idea. In fact your paper is full of interest and humor. Thistle, Scott High, Toledo, Ohio—Without question your paper is one of our finest ex- changes, and we hope you’ll come often. Your literary department is a wonder and the story “The Awakening of Marjorie” was cleverly written. Your many departments are ex- tremely well handled. In fact we have nothing but praise for the November number of the Thistle, for it is fairly brimming over with fun and interest. School Life, Melrose, Mass.—Yours is a com- pact little paper and we give you a hearty wel- come to our exchange department. Your lit- erary department is very good and your column of personals in the October number clever. Your athletic notes are well written, but where are your exchanges? Pasadena Chronicle, High School, Pasadena, Cal.—We are more than glad to welcome you to our exchange column and hope you’ll come again. Your “Question Box” is a good idea and your jokes are clever. Your sporting page is excellent. Netop, High School, Turners Falls—We were delighted with the “Freshman” number of the “Netop.” Your literary department is superior and your exchange column one of the best. Your poems and jokes about the Freshman were very witty. Come again. 92 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR | LIBRARY DEPARTMENT DISARMAMENT Every nation and practically every person is vitally interested in the Peace Conference which is being held at the Capitol in Washing- ton, I). C. We wonder, when everybody wants disarmament and every nation is in favor of it, why we can’t have it. An item from a speech by Dr. Edwin M. Borchard puts the question forcefully. He says: “Each one agrees that some other nation should commence the dis- armament. Now it is because they all seek the same goal that they can’t reach it without con- diet and hostility. Do concurrent aims tend to conflict and obstruct each other? Do they get in each other’s way?” Have you ever noticed the cartoons that show how the money of the United States treasury is spent, or have you read a few arti- cles on disarmament and wished that you could find more material on the subject? If you have, there are some interesting books for your read- ing at the libraries. There is a book entitled “Disarmament,” compiled by Mary H. Ruby. It contains arti- cles of the best and most up-to-date selections. The book is divided in two parts under the headings of: “For Disarmament” and “For Continued Armaments.” There is a greater amount of material on the side of “Disarma- ment.” There also is a summary of Congres- sional action and statistics on the size of armies and navies and the cost of war. If you wonder how the war debts are paid, this book of “Disarmament” will enlighten you. In the Current History Magazine there is much material on Disarmament. The Decem- ber number for 1921 contains the following re- marks made by the French Premier Briand and Prince Tokugawa respectively:— 1. “If it is possible to obtain the security which she is entitled to expect, if it is only a question of making sacrifices, France is ready to consent. France has defended her liberty and, at the same time, the liberty of the world, and, if necessary precautions are taken in or- der to insure her life and safety, France, like you gentlemen, is ready to say ‘Down Arms.’ 2. “ The world needs peace. It calls for po- litical and economic stability, and to co-operate with the powers here so worthily represented for the accomplishment of such a lofty end, un- der the guidance of the distinguished presiding officer, will be for Japan a source of the great- est pleasure.” Other reference books and magazines on the subject of Disarmament are: “International Conciliation,” published monthly, “The Out- look,” published weekly, Phelps’ “League of Nations,” Johnson’s “National Defence” and Van Valkenburg’s “National Defence.” THE S. H. S. SCIENCE CLUB A club to be known as the S. H. S.

Do you know what that means?” Ye Senior: “Sorry, but zero means nothing to me.” How do you visualize your job? The story of the three stone-cutters leaves nothing of wisdom to be said. They were working on a stone. A stranger asked the first what he was doing. “I’m working for $1.50 a day,” he replied. “And you?” the stranger asked the second. “I’m cutting this stone,” growled the laborer. When the question was put to the third stone-cutter, he answered: “I’m building a cathedral.” Brown: “There’s only one thing the matter with you, Fred.” Zimmerman: “Why, I always thought I was all right. Brown: “That’s it.” School Sports: “Trying to get to school on time on the school car.” Teacher: “Success, pupils, has four condi- tions.” Pupil (from experience)—“Tough luck, he’ll be kicked off the team.” What would life be without exams, seventh periods, vacations or girls? Teacher, in Algebra class: “Why is this called a literal equation?” Pupil: “Because all the figures are letters.” Teacher: “Give an example of raw material and its finished product.” Pupil: “Raw material, muskrat; finished product, sealskin.” Teacher, to make-up class in Geometry: “Now you must all take great pains with this work.” Any member of the class will testify regard- ing the pains. Employer: “Good morning, William, I hope all your family are well this morning?” Office Boy (unsuspectingly) :“Yes, sir, thank you!” Employer: “I’m glad to hear it!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN Emancipator of the Slaves February 12, 1809—April 14, 1865 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 105 The Man of Vision—Abraham Lincoln the many stirring scenes in the life of Abraham Lincoln three stand out most vividly to me: One is his- torical ; the other two, traditional, but true in general outline. Shall we look at them together for a moment ? The first scene is of his boyhood. It was a winter night in the wilderness of southern In- diana. In the very heart of the wilderness stood the cabin of Thomas Lincoln, father of Abraham. It was a primitive home, that little cabin in the wilderness; only one room, only one door and for a long time only one window. The floor was of earth. A bedstead built into the side of the wall, a rude table and chairs were the only furniture. But the big fireplace at one side suggested warmth and the great logs burning therein on this particular night not only furnished warmth, but threw out daring, dancing forks of light around the room. Stretched at length in front of the fire, a book in his hand, was the lad Abraham Lincoln, reading. Sometimes he would stop for a mo- ment to gaze into the fire. What pictures did he see? Was he already dimly conscious of himself, of his powers? Did he already sense half vaguely the growth of the country and his own share in its destiny? Who can tell? “The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” The next picture is in New Orleans, May, 1831. Lincoln and two or three of his friends had come down the river in a flat boat and had tied up to the river front. The city at that time was at the high tide of prosperity. Busi- ness, for those times “big business,” had called to that old southern city every type of adven- turer; French, German, Spanish, Indians, and Negroes. The times were lawless and the men were wicked. Of course the city was full of slaves, and slaves—men and women—were sold like animals in the public square. One day Lincoln and his friends passed through the square where a public auction of negroes was in progress. A child was “up for sale.” Turn- ing to his friends, Lincoln said: “If ever I get a chance to hit this thing (meaning slavery) I’ll hit it hard.” Did he foresee, at that time, that the question of slavery would at some future time divide the nation, only to be settled by war? The last scene is in Washington, December, 1863. There was a cabinet meeting and President Lincoln had summoned its members for the final discussion of the Emancipation Proclamation. Everyone present knew well the President’s aim and purpose. “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union and is not either to save or to destroy slavery.” Thus had he expressed his views in an open let- ter published in August, 1863. Still, there was evident in the faces of the Cabinet mem- bers, in their discussion, doubt, hesitation, dis- trust. Some were openly opposed; others ques- tioned the expediency of the Proclamation at that particular time. One by one they left the room, the President was alone. On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proc- lamation as a war measure became law. It was the man of vision who saved his country, the man whose ideals were his religion and whose religion was his life; and yet a plain man; a man of the people, for the people, understanding them; sympathizing with them. Amid jealousy, hatred and lies he kept on his way, unhasting, unresting, pursuing his God- sent mission, and today a grateful nation pays to him her reverent and loyal devotion. Thus is our past made glorious by Abraham Lincoln and the leaders akin to him. We glory in our past but what about our future? A clever Japanese once said to an American gentleman: “You Americans plan for twenty- five, for fifty years ahead. We Japanese plan for five hundred years!” Be the truth of that statement as it may, is it not fitting that we ask ourselves, here and now, the question: “What shall be the future of our country? Who shall carry on the torch lighted by our leaders?” The answer is plain, “The boys and girls of America.” It is to them the great tasks descend. It is on their shoulders the great burdens will fall. How to prepare for it, some one may ask? Again the answer is plain. Doing today’s work well and tomor- row, doing tomorrow’s work well; that is prep- aration. Keep the ideals high; welcome truth, whoever brings it to you; live largely with large thoughts, that is preparation. But all can never be leaders, someone may object. That is true, but the words of a gifted poet come to those who lose courage:— “ When the high heart we magnify, And the sure vision celebrate, And worship greatness passing by, Ourselves are great!” Lucy Ingram Topi iff.

Classmates and schoolmates, do you realize that mid-year has passed once more and many of us are on the last lap of our school career? There are now left less than four months of school, so we should do our best to make the short time remaining really worth while. Many are already looking forward to commencement and graduation functions, while others to the satisfactory completion of a year’s study and effort to acquire an education. So let us all resolve at once to do our best to make the re- maining months ones to be remembered for good scholarship, good attendance, real school spirit, and last but not least, good times enjoyed. The attention of our readers is called to the notice in another column to Commercial students sent us from the Educational and In- dustrial Union, one of Boston’s many efficient and prosperous enterprises. Miss Curtis was formerly one of our successful teachers in the Latin department. We are glad she still has a kindly thought for us. It would be very helpful if the daily bulletin of school activities was always read by the home-room teachers to their classes. The terrible theatre disaster in Washington which sent a ripple of horror throughout the entire country brings to our attention the fact that it was primarily due to the form of govern- ment which exists in that city, or rather, in the District of Columbia. Residents of this District have no vote, con- sequently they have no municipal government. They are taxed, but have no voice as to the dis- position of the taxes. Congress, which is really the common council of the city of Washington, is so busily engaged in looking after and trying to satisfy their constituents from other dis- tricts, that no very great attention is given to Washington in particular. The residents of that city are obliged to appeal to Congress for appropriations for even the slightest improve- ments in any of the municipal bureaus, such as, building inspection, street cleaning, fire, police, etc. The efficiency or inefficiency of these departments at any time depends on the liberality of Congress then in session. Insuf- ficient appropriation for the department of building inspection and the great need at Wash- ington during the war of housing facilities were responsible for the erection of a great many buildings, practically overnight, many of which are still being used. Deplorable as this accident was, it has caused an investigation into the state of affairs, which may be the means of preventing an even greater loss in the future. 108 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR RADIATOR YEAR ROOK ANNOUNCEMENT This year the Radiator Staff assisted by an elected committee from each class is planning to publish its June issue in the form of a Year Book. It will be an excellent edition composed of approximately 200 pages of the same size as the monthly editions of the Radiator. It will be printed on paper of good quality, and bound in a heavy leatherette cover of some dark color as dark blue or maroon red. If possible the title anil date together with a cut of the school will be embossed in gold on the cover. It will contain approximately the following material:— 1. Full page pictures of the Radiator staff. 2. Full page pictures of the Year Book com- mittee. 3. Full page pictures of the athletic teams. 4. Full page pictures of the debating teams. 5. Full page pictures of the orchestra. C. Full page pictures of the Student Council. 7. Full page pictures of the Junior Play cast. 8. Full page pictures of the Sophomore girls and boys (groups). 9. Full page pictures of the Junior girls and boys (groups). 10. Full page pictures of the Faculty. 11. Individual pictures of every Senior, with list of activities, nickname, address and a quo- tation for each one. There will be 100 pages of Senior pictures, each Senior paying for his or her own cut. 12. Stories, cartoons, club and society news, and dramatics. 13. All of the regular departments of the Radiator. 14. Class Ode, Prophecy, and Histories of Class, and the Ivy Oration for each. 15. Cuts of personal, informal snapshots pasted together with a caption for each, as well as other reading matter. The Radiator staff and special committees realize the great amount of work and responsi- bility in such a large undertaking but intend to publish the best Year Book possible providing they have the backing and support of the entire student body. The Year Book will not be for Seniors alone but will be for every class in the school and contain much of interest to all. The price of the Year Book will be definitely estab- lished later when there will be a drive for sub- scriptions. The book will be sold only by sub- scription in advance and will be well worth the subscription price. Watch next month's Radiator for further an- nouncements! SENIORS, TAKE NOTICE Seniors should have their graduation pictures taken at the Class Photographer, Champlain’s, as early as convenient. Those wishing their cuts in the Year Book should be sure to have '.heir picture taken at the Champlain Studios as pictures taken elsewhere have to be re-photo- graphed by the engraver to insure uniformity of proportion of the features. However, if some are determined to have their pictures taken by other than Champlain, they should request the photographer to use a light background, and should see that a black proof or photograph is in the hands cf the editor-in-chief as early as convenient so that a half-tone cut may be made at once. Seniors having their photographs taken at the class photographer’s need not sup- ply a photograph or proof. Have your pictures taken early to insure good work, and to avoid the rush! Go to Champlain's if you want clear cut pictures! Go early if you want clear cuts in the Year Book. Do your share in keeping the silent and rapid filing system up to standard. Don’t be a “shifter” in regards to your good resolutions for better filing. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 109 In the Path of the Gray By Kenneth MacLeod, ’23 T a night!” I remarked one cold, ormy evening as I looked out on a Id, driving snowstorm. “Yes, its a good night to be under ver,” laughingly answered my friend, John LeBlanc, who was paying me a visit from Quebec. “Regular old northern winter night, it reminds me of the time that I almost got into the path of the Gray,” he continued as he gazed out at the dull leaden sky and at the little swirling drifts of feathery snow that were driven about by the wind. “The path of the Gray?” I inquired, wonder- ing what he meant. “Oh, just a little experience that I had a few years ago while spending the winter on Prince Edward Island,” he explained, “care to hear about it?” “Why, yes!” I returned, as I threw myself into a comfortable chair and waited for him to commence. “The tale contains no very strong action or excitement,” he began, as he seated himself opposite me, “yet the circumstances surround- ing it are somewhat singular; and although the experience is one not uncommonly faced in that section, where the winters are long and cold and accompanied by heavy snowfalls, it was entirely new’ to me. “I had been living at a friend’s house near a little village, situated on the southern shore of the island, close to Canoe Cove. The village was about twelve miles from Charlottetown, the island’s principal city, a small place having a population of about twelve thousand. Living, as we did, on a fanr where live horses wer-i kept and at a time when there was little work to be done, with the exception of cutting and hauling fire-wood, John and I had ample op- portunity to do plenty of driving. As the Cove was a bleak and dull place in Winter, with little to offer in the line of amusement, when the roads were good and the weather cie r, we often used to drive into tor� a. “About the middle of December the weather, which had previously been mild and clear with just enough snow for good sleighing, turned cold and brought several snowstorms. “Yet, in spite of the fact that the day before Christmas was dull and cold and the road was very heavy, I readily assented to the suggestion that we hitch up and run into town. We started and after a slow and tedious drive we reached Rocky Point, a distance of some nine miles from home. We were still three miles from our destination, the remaining distance having to be traveled over the ice of Charlotte- town harbor. The track, however, was much better here and we were able to travel con- siderably faster, reaching the city about three o’clock in the afternoon. “Having eaten our dinner at. a hotel, we started off downtown and after buying several articles we went into a moving picture show . Time flew fast, and by the time that we were ready for the return trip we found that it was after ten. In the meantime it had begun to snow and there was breeze enough to cause considerable drifting, yet when we reached the waterfront and took to the ice we could quite clearly distin- guish the small fir bushes that were placed at intervals in holes in the ice to mark the route. Before we had driven more than a mile the wind, which had been steadily rising since we left town, blew strongly across the harbor, driving the snow before it in blinding drifts. The night was dark and we could then hardly see from one bush to another, furthermore the track itself was then almost hidden by the drift- ing snow. After that we traveled very slowly, but in spite of all our precautions we s k ji left the trail and lost sight of the bushes. “Our situation might not seem alarming to the average city dweller, but at the time I con- fess that I felt rather uneasy, for I could not keep from thinking of the many unpleasant stories that I had heard of others who had per- ished from exposure after being lost on that broad wind-swept bay, or on the bleak, dreary and almost uninhabited shores of Rocky Point. ‘ After proceeding slowly for about a half an hour my friend suddenly reined in the horse and handed me the lines. ‘Just hold him a minute, John, I want to see what’s out there ahead of us. If we don’t look out we’ll run into open water. We must be careful not to get into the path of the big icebreaker, Earl Gray, that travels all winter between Charlottetown and the mainland.’ He then stepped out and walked ahead. A second later he called to me, so dropping the reins over the doshboard I hurried over to where he was standing. To my (Continued on Page 111.) 110 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Horology By Martin Towle, 22. A.CK of History, back of Civiliza- tion, back of the visible Uni- verse itself, we sense the unend- ing sequence of all development which we know as time.—Brearley. A timepiece is one of the most indispensable instruments of the present age. We are unable even to conjec- ture any line of business proceeding with- out an accurate watch or clock, as guide. In truth, civilization runs as smoothly as clock-work and by clock-work. Practi- cally all civilized people own a watch or clock, or at least can tell time. Even the blind can tell time by feeling the position of the hands. This urgent necessity and uni- versal demand for timepieces has built up a large industry throughout the world,—the making, repairing and perfecting of time- pieces. Let us first consider very briefly what makes the modern watch or clock run and keep time. Many of us have probably pried apart an old watch through curiosity to see what made the wheels go round or with the intention of repairing it, but being baffled by the seemingly intricate works have given it up before long as a “bad job,” and called at the shop of the experienced watch repairer However, the principle on which the clock and watch run is quite simple; it is the minute- ness and delicateness of the parts which are confusing to the lay mind. The impetus of the watch and often the clock is furnished by a main spring. As the spring uncoils, being fas- tened on the arbor or axis and the outer edge of the barrel, it causes the barrel to revolve as many times as it takes to wind it. The power is then transmitted to the centre wheel. In chronometers and the best regulated clocks the power exerted by the mainspring is equal- ized by a fusee before reaching the centre wheel, which moves by wheels and pinions having different number of teeth, the minute and hour hands, and the next wheel in the train. This wheel indirectly moves the sec ond hand and escape wheel whose rate is regu- lated uniformly by a pendulum or a balance wheel made; isochronous by a hair spring. So at one end of the train there is the main spring which exerts the force and at the other end a balance wheel which keeps the wheels in the train at a uniform speed. Now, the bal- ance wheel in a watch vibrates 157,000.000 times in a year and the rim of this tiny wheel travels during this time from New York to San Francisco and back again, or using smaller figures the balance wheel oscillates 18,000 times in an hour. From these few’ fig- ures (few in number but large in magnitude), it can be seen that the balance wheel must run easily, smoothly, and withstand constant wear. The balance wheel is fastened on the balance staff, a bit of steel very small but yet very strong, which must not vary a quarter- thousandth of an inch. It is often the balance staff that is bent or broken w'hen a watch is dropped and immediately the w’atch fails to keep accurate time. And as Mark Twain has said, you take it to a watch-repairer, who puts a dice box in one eye, and laconi- cally remarks: “New balance staff.” In order that the balance staff may rotate easily it is set in jewels. These jewels, which are strictly utilitarian in their purpose, are ruby, sapphire, or garnet according to the price of the w’atch, and a fully-jewelled watch is now considered to be twenty-three jewels. To a great extent the perfecting of time- pieces has kept pace with the advancement of civilization. I might even say the perfecting of timepieces has enabled the advancement of civilization. We can surmise how’ long busi- ness would be kept running smoothly if we had to guess at the time. Punctuality and the saving of time permits man to advance, and neither punctuality nor the saving of time could be possible without accurate timepieces. As early as 350 B. C. we read of the hemicycle or sun-dial being used, and different forms of clepsydrae were also invented at about this time. The clepsydra usually worked by wrater, but we think of the clepsammia or hour glass, which is really a form of clepsydra, as work- ing by sand. As people became more methodi- cal these methods became too impractical and inaccurate through many faults, and as a re- sult the clock was invented about 1348 A. D., followed in a century and a half by the watch. The first watches were mainly for orna- ment rather than service. The kings of this period all had their appointed watch and clock makers, as the Worshipful Clock Makers Com- pany in England, who made watches bedecked with jewels and fantastically wrought. One watch enclosed in a skull was intended to re- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 111 mind the owner that each second brought death nearer. Eli Terry was the first clock maker in America (1800), who started the industry which has grown so large in this country, and it was in America that the problem of manufacturing a good timepiece within the means of everyone was solved. With the growth and improvement of watches many odd watches adopted for spe- cial work or purposes have been perfected. There is the repeater watch which, upon push- ing a plunger, strikes the nearest quarter hour, the chronograph or stop watch used in timing contests, the seven-day and alarm watches, the watch which is automatically wound by the jarring of the body when a per- son walks, the double-time watch which tells the time for two localities, the chronoscope or disc watch where moving discs mark the time instead of hands, and countless others. The regulating timepieces have been perfected so that they are most accurate, but the demand for accuracy in timepieces has become so great that now there are observatories throughout the country which continually take the time from the planets and broadcast the precise time every minute or so by tele- graph to the watch repairing shops in order that the watch repairer may regulate your watch by it. IN THE PATH OF THE GRAY (Continued from Pajje 109.) surprise and alarm I saw a wide ominous space of open water filled with floating cakes of ice not more than a dozen feet ahead of the horse. “ ‘Gee whiz, if we’d gone into that track left by the Earl Gray, it would have soon been all over with us,’ said my friend rather nervously as he turned to walk back to the sleigh. “As for me I was so astonished and appalled by our narrow escape that I said nothing. We turned the horse and sleigh around and started slowly in the opposite direction, our only alter- native under the circumstances. The night grew steadily colder and the wind continued to blow strongly. On account of the darkness and drifting snow we could see only a few yards in any direction. We feared that this continued plunging through the trackless waste would eventually exhaust our horse. But old Dan, our big Clydesdale, steadily forged ahead and ploughed through many a drift that would have stopped a lighter driving horse. Moreover, our luck, which up to this time seemed to play against us, was about to change, for in about Massachusetts has the distinction of having the largest watch factory in the world, the Amei ican Waltham Watch Company. This factory turns out 3,000 watches daily. The machines which are used in manufacturing the various parts of the watch are miraculous from their precision and the minuteness of the parts they turn out. For instance, in an elaborate machine the balance staff, that min- ute piece which can hardly be seen by the naked eye, is cut out rapidly and accurately, as there must not be a variation of over a quarter-thousandth of an inch. One of the most interesting processes is the making of hair springs. One pound of stqel worth five dollars is put through several operations mak- ing 84,000 hair springs worth $30,000. Still another example of the infinitesimal work is the tiny screws which are used in the seven- and-a-half ligne watch which is actually smaller than a dime in diameter. These screws have 254 threads to the inch and 47,- 000 can be put in a small thimble. Yes, we must say as the old motto of a clock concern: “Tempus Imperator Rerum,” Time, the Em- peror of Things. If you can fill each unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run. Yours is the earth and everything that’s on it, And, what is more, you’ll be a man, my son. —Kipling. half an hour we saw the dull glow of a light in the distance. “We drove as fast as we could towards this beacon, soon came to the shore and in a short time reached the house from which the light came. “It turned out to be a farmer’s house, which was about two miles from Rocky Point. The farmer and his wife, on hearing that we were bound for the Cove, were very hospitable, in- sisting that the distance was too great to travel on such a stormy night. As for us, we were only too glad to accept their hearty invita- tion to remain with them for the night, so the farmer soon saw to it that our horse was well taken care off and that we ourselves were made comfortable. ‘‘The next morning we proceeded on our journey and reached the Cove about noon. We found that great apprehension had been felt over our prolonged absence. “Our story was soon told and all questions answered, and in a short time we had once more settled down into the old, dull routine of a winter spent in a lonely country village.” 112 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Diary By Edith H. Small, ’22 ANUARY 1.—Doesn’t it seem strange to be writing in a diary? But all the girls are doing it so why shouldn’t I? I suppose it will be fun some day to look through the pages. I’m going to the Opera tonight with mother to hear Galli-Curci. January 2.—The concert last night was wonderful, it must be wonderful to be able to thrill people like that. Mother has been at me again today. She says that the money father left us is nearly gone and there is no way of getting out of the difficulty but for me to marry. Imagine me getting married. Oh, dear! January 4.—I didn’t do much yesterday, but last evening I went to Lockwood’s dinner party. The Edmund Douglass Ayre, Esquire, of whom the girls talk about so much, was there; he certainly is good looking, although rather quiet, and he has a peculiar way of look- ing at one. I wish something really exciting would happen! January 5.—It happened! Today a tele- gram came from the lawyer of Aunt Ethel, papa’s sister, who just died. And guess what the telegram said: “If within a year, Shirley Barbara Glidden, niece of Ethel Glidden, does some work for the betterment of humanity— $50,000 will be given her.” Did you ever hear of such a thing? What in the world can I do? The money certainly would come in handy. January 12.—I’ve found a position. This morning when I was driving down Bennett street I saw a sign “Social Service Workers Wanted.” Well, I jammed those brakes and went in and inquired for the position. They asked me a few questions and then told me to report for work next Monday morning. Well, I guess there’ll be something exciting to write about after all. January 13.—I can hardly wait for Monday. The girls are all so surprised and they think it is just great. Mother doesn’t know what to make of it. Well, it does seem hardly possible that I, Shirley Glidden, am going to work. January 15.—Oh, it’s great! I’m crazy about it, even if it did give me the creeps to see the sick-looking, dirty, diseased foreigners at the Dispensary. I had to go up in the Skin Clinic and I helped the doctor call the patients as they came. There was one colored boy with the dreadfulest sores on his chest, it made me shiver to watch the Doctor work over him. Next week I’m going down to the Settlement House. February 3.—Ages have past since I’ve written in my diary and so many things have happened. Why, diary, it hardly seems possi- ble that I am the same girl. I get disgusted when I go home and hear the girls talk, talk, talk about the latest dances, etc., when there is so much that is really important. I am at the Settlement House now and I love the work. I watch for children whom I think need medi- cal aid, and I take care of the working girls as they come in nights tired out. There is a young nurse, Marion Douglass, who is won- derful. We are great friends now. There is so much to write. I hardly know where to begin! February 27.—Can you imagine it? I haven’t been home for all night since I wrote here last. Oh, but I’ve been busy! Marion and I have worked like everything. There are so many mothers coming in with their chil- dren imploring doctor’s care. Dr. Lowrie, Marion and myself are surely rushed. March 30.—Over a month has passed and where has it gone? It’s more than I know. Mrs. Grant has put me in charge of the House and I tell you it’s no cinch to watch over all these girls who are so lively. We had a party last night, the girls brought their friends and they had a great time. April 25.—It seems as though every day I learn more of the tragedies of life. Today Marion and I went to the theatre. The play was one in which a brother and sister who had been separated for many years were brought together by a strange incident. After the play I turned to Marion and found her wiping away the tears. All that she would say at the time was,“If it were only true.” I’ve been wondering about it a good deal, but Marion gave no hint that she felt like confiding in me, so I said nothing. May 3.—I’m home for a week. They said I needed it, and truly I do feel rather tired al- though I’d never notice it if I had kept on working. May 5.—Goodness, but I’m lost without my girls and foreigners! I am going out to din- (Continued on Page 113.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 113 Shakespeare on Trial By Robert A. Shea, ’22. ING LEAR sat upon his throne. Before him stood “The Mer- chant of Venice” begging for mercy. Already convicted on the charge of evading his income tax he was now on trial for smuggling. “Macbeth,” the prosecuting attorney, claimed that said Merchant was found trying to land silks from a bark amidst “The Tempest” of “Twelfth Night” in a “Hamlet” near Avon. Pericles, counsel for the defence, main- tained this to be “The Comedy of Errors,” for “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” would testify that the defendant was in Rome with “Julius Caesar” on the aforesaid night. Citing the similar case of “Timon of Athens,” which occurred during the reign of King John, Pericles urged great mercy be shown his client even if he should be found guilty, because the case of Timon was placed on file. Furthermore he urged the jury, which included “Romeo and Juliet,” to have compas- sion on the defendant, for his affinities, “The Merry V ives of Windsor,” would consider “Love’s Labor Lost” if he were sent to prison. In the refutation “Macbeth” cited the sim- ilar case of “Othello” during the reign of “Richard the Third,” in which the defendant received the full penalty. He refuted the tes- timony of the defence, claiming that “Winter’s Tale” contradicted “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Referring to the testimony of “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” he maintained they were in Egypt with “Antony and Cleo- patra” assisting in “The Taming of the Shrew” on the night they claimed to have seen the cul- prit in Rome. In closing “Macbeth” said that the sym- pathy argument concerning “The Merry Wives” was “Much Ado About Nothing,” that the defence had deliberately perjured, that the defendant was a man of bad character, that similar offenses had received the full penalty and that this defendant should receive “Meas- ure for Measure.” Bowing to the king and jury he said: “I have presented this case, take it ‘As You Like It.’ ” A DIARY (Continued from Page 112.) ner with Mr. Ayre. He told me last night at Savage’s that he was very much interested in charitable institutions and he is a patron of a few such places. June 6.—Back again, it certainly does seem good to be back at work, although I had a good time at home. I asked Mr. Ayre to visit us sometime and he said he would, but I doubt it. June 29.—I had the surprise of my life to- day when Mr. Ayre came into my office saying that he wanted to go through the House. Of course I wanted him to meet Dr. Lowrie and Marion first so I took him into the Laboratory where the doctor and Marion were working. They both turned as we entered, and as I in- troduced Mr. Ayre to them he actually stared at Marion and then before anyone could wink Mr. Ayre and Marion were both crying. Dr. Lowrie and I were dumbfounded and we stood there for about five minutes before either Marion or Mr. Ayre noticed us. When they did, both immediately began to tell the most remarkable story. It seems that Edmund and Marion Ayre had lost both their mother and father when very small and as they had no relatives they were taken to an Orphan’s Home. The two children thought everything of each other and when Edmund at the age of ten disappeared Marion was left alone, heartbroken. When Marion was old enough to work she left the home and sought employ- ment, and then, when she had reached the age required by hospitals for nurses to train, she entered at the General Hospital. July 1.—I received a letter from Aunt Ethel’s lawyer saying that he was sending me a check for $50,000 immediately. I am going to continue at the Settlement House as I have grown to love the work. July 2.—I’ve decided, old friend diary, that I’m too busy to write here. Anyway it seems as if I’d done the thing which will mean the most to me all my life. Good-bye, diary, it certainly does feel good to know that you have done some good. 114 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR VOTES OF THE.

During the first period a Malden man picked up an offside shot and slid it to a fellow player, who smashed it into the Somerville cage for the first tally of the game. This woke up the red and blue players and with fast and clever play- ing Captain Dresser succeeded in shooting the disc into the rival cage, thus tying the score. It appeared as if the game would end in a tie until a few minutes before the close of the last period, Malden engaged the Red and Blue players in a hot scrimmage and the puck was shoved into the cage in spite of the valiant re- sistance of Roberts, therefore breaking the tie. Captain Dresser played his usual sterling game, while Roberts’ work was of the same quality. Somerville 1, Rindge 0 Somerville High brilliantly defeated Rindge Tech at the Arena by a score of 1-0. thereby breaking the tie for last place in the Inter- scholastic League standing. In the first period both teams showed fine points and it looked as if the game would end in a draw'. Many shots were lined at the cages, but the wonderful work of each goal tender prevented either side from scoring. During the second period Dresser, Somerville High hockey captain, received the puck near the rival’s goal and sent it sliding towards the cage. Butler, goal-tender for Rindge, stopped the puck but it remained at his feet. The Red and Blue defenders, taking advantage of this, closed in and in a hot battle Captain Dresser shot the puck into the cage for the lone score of the game. Captain Dresser and Roberts starred for Somerville. Butler of Rindge played well.

As seen on the ice neither team had the ad- vantage and both sides played fast and clean hockey. The disc was shot back and forth without scoring until a Cantab player lined a straight shot for the Somerville cage. By a streak of luck the puck hopped over Roberts’ stick for the only tally of the game. Captain Dresser’s and McFayden’s work shone for Somerville.

That there is always room at the top was never truer than today. The better equipped one is educationally, the broader her horizon, the larger her vision, the nobler will be her opportunity, and the wider the field of service upon which she may enter. “ In spite of the large number of stenog- raphers and bookkeepers looking for positions, it is difficult to find young women available with good personality and a good record of achievement to fill interesting positions at $18 and upward. A position is open at the mo- ment for a stenographer who is clever in ac- counts to assist in the office of a large College Alumni Association—salary $23—$25. “Also a well-known manager of real estate needs a secretary to take charge both of his correspondence and his bookkeeping, includ- ing care of securities, taxes, etc. Salary, $30 —$35. “A stenographer, college graduate pre- ferred, capable of putting through a large amount of law work (with an assistant) is needed as secretary to a very busy lawyer. Salary, $30—$40. “While these positions may be filled before this article is published, they are typical. If any older sisters reading this paper are in- terested and are qualified for high-grade posi- tions, Miss Curtis would like to hear from them at the Appointment Bureau, Women’s Educational and Industrial Union, 264 Boyls- ton Street, Boston, Back Bay 2356.” The Junior class extends to the Misses Florence and Gertrude Stack its deepest sym- pathy for the recent loss of their mother. THE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The trials for the Girls’ Interscholastic De- bating Team were held January 13, twenty- two splendid speakers tried out, and, as a re- sult, the following were chosen by the judges: Olive Holmes, 1922; Murita Lally, 1922, Evelyn Stern, 1922; Doris Westlund, 1922; Kathleen O’Brien, 1923, and Frances Burhart, 1924. The two alternates are Marjorie Parker, 1922, and Arline Snow, 1922. For the past month these girls, with Mrs. Card, the coach, have been working industriously and steadily, giving freely of their time, so that they may bring again to Somerville the glory and honor she once held in Debating. The girls are about to prove their worth and seek your support. The formal Interscholastic Debate is March 10, and the subject is “Resolved: That the School Age Limit be Raised in the United States from Fourteen to Eighteen Years.” Somerville is upholding the negative at Som- erville, debating with Brookline, and main- taining the affirmative side against Newton at Newton. The team must have the assistance and encouragement of every one in the school. Attend the debate, either at Somerville or Newton, and uphold the members of your class and school on the Interscholastic Team for the honor of the school. Edith Taylor, President of the Girls’ Debating Society. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 117 Tommy: “Pop, what is the difference be- tween a vision and a sight? Tom’s Pop: “Well, my son. You can flatter a girl by calling her a vision but never call her a sight.” Jabberwock, Girls’ Latin School, Boston, Mass.—Your editorials are splendid, also your literary department is exceptionally good. Your article on “Hallowe’en” was very inter- esting. You need more class notes and your jokes could be improved upon. The Sassamon, Natick High School—An excellent paper. Your editorials are good, your story “His Bit,” is very interesting. Your jokes are really funny! Come again. The Quill, High School, Kentucky—Your literary department is a wonder. We were more than pleased with the entire paper. When we saw your exchange column we were overjoyed, for we find few papers who give much room to exchanges. Your class notes are unusual. You’ve certainly a fine paper. Come again. Red and White, Todd Seminary, Illinois— Excellent athletic and alumni notes. Your idea of publishing letters from the alumni is an excellent one. Your jokes are good but why not comment on your exchanges? Review, Newton High—An excellent paper, brimful of interest from cover to cover. our cuts are out of the ordinary; the picture “The Four Horsemen” was brilliant! Come again. Register, Rindge Tech, Cambridge—Your cartoons are superior, also your jokes, but where, oh! where, are your stories? The ath- letic notes are very good and your depart- ments are well managed. “The Rindge Rub- berneck” is a good idea. The Beacon, Rhode Island State College— We always enjoy reading college publications and greatly enjoyed the number of the “Beacon” just received. It is an interesting paper and the jokes are very clever. Orange Peals, Orange, Mass.—An extremely well-written paper. We were more than glad to welcome you again this year and hope you’ll come often. Enterprise, Roxbury High School—An ex- cellent paper; your (y) jokes are good and the original poems excellent. Why not en- large your literary department? Megaphone, Dean Academy—There is no paper we enjoy more than yours. Your car- toons are great and so are your jokes. Your alumni editor must be a hustler. The Wampatuck, Braintree High School— Congratulations. The December number of “The Wampatuck” was a great success. Your page of school songs was great. A few cuts would improve the paper. The account of “Pageant of the Pilgrim Spirit” is an excep- tional piece of work. 118 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR LIBRARY DEPARTMENT The first year English classes of the High School for the past week have been having lec- tures on how to use a card catalogue, and the classification of library books. The pupils were also given instruction about reference books as: “Who’s Who,” “Who’s Who in Amer- ica,” “Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature” and “Grainger’s Index to Poetry and Recita- tions.” The lectures have been followed by Problems of Classification and Card Catalogues, in which each pupil was requested to look up some designated references. Such questions as: Why are books classified in a library ? How are the cards in a card catalogue arranged, and under what subject heading in the catalogue can you find books about “vegetable garden- ing” ? It is doubtful whether these questions, though they may seem very simple, can be properly answered by every senior. Perhaps a Library course for the seniors would be a wise measure. One reason that such a course would be use- ful to pupils is because modern education re- quires a great deal of collateral reading and the pupil requires a knowledge of how to find the books he needs. A knowledge of reference books aids the pupil in finding the desired ma- terial easily and quickly. A library has many books which are valuable for students’ reference, not only now, but dur- ing their future life. By knowing something about the methods of finding books in a library, a person finds a storehouse of knowledge wait- ing for him. In the libraries one finds books on every occupation and business imaginable. There are books on Advertising, Engineering, Banking, Insurance, Journalism, Library Work, Secretarial Work, and any other work about which you might wish to inform yourself. The Public Library Reference Department gladly answers any questions on all sorts of topics whether presented in person, by mail or by telephone. Since the libraries and the librari- ans are at your service, it is up to you to make good use of them. THE JUNIOR PLAY On the evening of the 20th of January, 1922, the Class of 1923 presented the annual Junior Play, a three-act comedy entitled “Bashful Mr. Bobbs.” The leading parts were played by Fayette Haskell, as Jean Graham, and Edward Hall, as the bashful Mr. Bobbs. The other members of the cast were Rollo Lewis, Dorothea Farnsworth, Lawrence Mc- Carthy, Inez Comstock, Esther Fisher, Cleon Hopkins, Dorothy Linfield and Lily Walgis. Harry Hurley was stage manager, Stanley Teele was property manager and Claribel Ben- jamin was electrician. The Junior Play com- mittee contributed much towards its success. They were Priscilla Leach, Andrew Pike and Delancey Cleveland. The Junior Class and many of their friends made up the large and appreciative audience. They were entertained between the acts with music by Witham’s Orchestra, which after- wards played for the dancing. Appreciation and thanks are due Miss Bell, without whose constant supervision and un- tiring direction the play could not have suc- ceeded, to Miss Saunders, for her coaching, to the willing staff of ushers and to the matrons. THE S. H. S. CHESS CLUB The Chess Club, a newly-formed organiza- tion of the Somerville High School, held its first meeting on December 14, when the fol- lowing officers were elected: Richard Walsh, president; Stanley Teele, vice-president, and Donald McGilvray, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in the game of chess, to teach the game to those desiring to learn, and to compete with other schools. A weekly meeting is held Thursday afternoons in Room 228. A team composed of the three officers, together with Ralph Ells, Albert Forbes and Warren Thomas has al- ready held a practice match with Cambridge Latin.

By George Novack, ’22. I. The “Humorist” who thinks the funniest person in the world is himself; that, com- pared to him, Mark Twain was an amateur. Why we believe man is descended from monkeys. Who makes witty comments on the teachers’ remarks and whose idea of the height of success is to hear some giggling, foolish member of the opposite sex say laughingly to friend, “Ain’t he a nut?”—R. S. II. The “Belle” who has sounded the knell of many an adolescent’s fond hopes. A lovely ornament for any classroom. Whose reciting consists of a smile, and “I don’t know,’ and a “hope that that’ll do.” The chief argument against co-ed schools—she distracts the stud- ent’s attention. She may make some man a good wife but as an intellectual helpmate Oh! Murder!—M. S. III. The “Football Star” of 200 pounds of solid muscle and bone, most of the bone being above the shoulders. A halfback on the gridiron but a drawback in the class. Who thinks Q. E. D. is a wireless call and Homer “Babe Ruth’s favorite sport. Who’ll tackle anything but Latin and Mathematics. But as long as he can hit the line for a ten-yard gain, every- one dismisses his lack of brains with the state - ment, “Oh, boy, can’t he play football!”—J. M. IV. The “Dancing Master,” with his bell trousers, prima donna haircut, and “jazzy” conversation, who merely goes to school in order to kill time between dances. Whose chief topic of conversation is girls, and chief ambition to become a vaudeville actor. And who pities the “Pluggers” because they study so hard and don’t get the real enjoyment out of life.—R. C. V. The “Dumbbell” who goes to school because he doesn’t want to go to work. Who inhabits the Orpheum four times a week and favors the school with his presence the fifth. Who recited once and intends to rest on his laurels. Who takes his books home only to impress his parents and who will finally, after six years of hard study, obtain his diploma by the wide margin of one point.—J. P. VI. The “Quiet Girl” whom you do not notice at first but finally discover attending to her own business and not saying much. Whom you respect and admire but don’t take to dances. “She’s nice and all that but—” Who goes to church every Sunday and takes the preacher’s sermons by heart.—M. P. 122 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1922 Charles G. Daniels, Editor Walter V. Robinson, Assistant Editor SERVICE A long wait, then—“Number please?” “Never mind, central, I wanted the Fire De- partment, but the house has burned down.” The H. C. L. is evidently on the decrease as a sign was seen in a show case which read: “A Ford with every ten pounds of prunes.” Mr. Co-m-n: “What do they raise in Georgia ?” Dresser: “Peaches.” Mr. Co-m-n: “Well, er—er—that’s in the agricultural sense of the word.” Park-u-st: “How does a steam-engine run?” Ma-m-ud: “By electricity, I think.” LOST ! ! ! One piece of perfectly good pink fudge, val- ued at 10 cents. Finder please return to Miss MacLe-l-n, Room 10G. Miss C-nd-n (translating in Latin): “He fled into the forest with his wings.” Mr. W-l-ins: “What was he, one of these lat- est dancers ?” SAFETY FIRST Rosenburg: “I dreamt I had $1,000 last night.” Cohen: “What did you do with it?” Rosenburg: “I put it in the bank before I woke up.” Latin teacher: “Give the principal parts of ‘occido.’ ” Pupil: “Okiddo, Okiddearie, Okissus, Okis- sus some.” CONGRATULATIONS We congratulate the Class of 1923 on the success of the Junior Play and the Sophomores on their entrance into all the activities of the school. We sincerely hope that the entire student body will abide by their motto “Honor and Progress,” but this cannot be accomplished without “Co-operation.” All for one, one for all—School Spirit! ! ! and Team Work! ! ! “Are you a Shifter?” ! ! ! ! ! TRUTHFUL? Granny: “What are you doing in the pan- try?” Jimmy: “Pm putting a few things away, Granny.” She: “Why, it’s only six o’clock, and I told you to come after supper.” He (modestly): “That’s what I did come after.” Boy (in dentist’s chair): “I wish I had been born without any teeth!” Dentist (soothingly): “You were, my boy.” THEN AND NOW Yesterday’s Sweetie: “Oh, George, please don’t rock the boat. You know I can’t swim a stroke.” Today’s Sweetie: “Oh, George, please don’t loop the loop. You know I can’t fly a flap.” “What is that?” asked the visitor on board a man-of-war of a sailor as he pointed to a badge on the mariner’s cap. The mariner thought he would be funny. “That’s a turnip,” answered the sailor. “No I asked about the badge,” replied the visitor, “not about your head.” SOMERVILLE HIGH Question: “Why doesn’t Marmaud use his ‘long’ words in a theme?” Answer: “He can’t spell them.” Teacher: “Who originated the first geometry ] roposition ?” Pupil: “Noah.” Teacher: “How is that?” Pupil: “He constructed on arc B. C.” SCHOOL RADIATOR 123 OUR ACTORS Silas Marner—Durgin B rutus—Me E1 roy Caesar—Coyle Little Eva—Stackpole Uncle Tom—Buckley Quentin Durward—Novack Oliver Twist—Price 1923 John Holmes, Editor Stanley Teele, Assistant Editor You may feel hungry the fourth period but —think of the horse, no matter how hungry he is, he cannot eat a bit. The editors acknowledge the receipt of five jokes for the class column and greatly thank the contributors. Cleveland in 400: “Gee! This problem of drawing reminds me of a cemetery.” Miner: “How so?” Cleveland: “It’s a grave task.” If you do not like our jokes, And their dryness makes you groan, Just stroll around occasionally With some good ones of your own! Are you still carrying as many books as you did just after report cards were out? The Class of 1923 expresses its appreciation of Miss Bell’s artistic aid which made the Jun- ior play the success it was. We also thank Miss Saunders for her work behind the scenes the night of the play and at the dress rehearsal. The Junior Play cast enjoyed a skating party at Spy Pond Monday evening, January 30. The state of the treasury of the Class of 1923 is very satisfactory as a result of the Junior Play. Teacher: “Give an illustration of the para- dox.” Pupil: “Er—a foreign domestic.” THE PLAY (Not the Junior) Great and unique and gay and bright— Set for all time, and ran one night! Orator: “This ’ere Gover’ment is like the hostrich rushin’ blindly forward with ’is head ’idden in the sand.” Sexton (looking at book in the library): “ ‘ Last Days of Pompeii’—what did he die of?” ‘ . , Buttimer: “Oh, I don’t know—some sort of eruption.” Pratt: “Do you think what Darwin says about our ancestors is true?” Kamp: “Perhaps it is true about your an- cestors.” Maybe you think you were embarrassed and fussed when you tripped on the stairs or when you criticised a teacher and found him right behind you BUT—when a mere Junior enters a quiet Senior classroom and walks all the way to the desk and his shoes squeak then he knows what real embarrassment is. The Question of the Hour—“Are you a Shifter?” When you’ve studied all the night And you know your lessons all are right Who next day calls you to recite? Nobody. Here is a geometry problem which shows a great deal of reasoning:— A sheet of ruled paper is a lazy dog. Given: A sheet of ruled paper. To Prove: That a sheet of ruled paper is a lazy dog. Proof: A sheet of ruled paper is an inklined plane. An inclined plane is a slope up. A slow pup is a lazy dog. Therefore a sheet of ruled paper is a lazy FAMILIARITY’S BREED At the grave of the departed the old darkey pastor stood hat in hand looking into the abyss, he delivered himself of the funeral ovation. “Samuel Johnson,” he said, sorrowfully, “I hope you is gone and we hopes you is gone where we specks you ain’t.” “The fortune teller told me that I would meet with a fatal accident.” “Mercy!!” , f “But she said not to worry; it wouldn’t hap- pen until the end of my life.” 124 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1924 Lillian Kingston, Editor Mabel Everett, Assistant Editor Tommy and Billy had been fighting on the way home from school. The teacher received this note the next day:— “Dear Sir: As one of your scholars hit my boy in the eye with a stone, he can’t see out of it. So will you please look into it?” High: “Where did you get your cold?” Jinks: “If I knew I’d take it back.” A Massachusetts boy told the teacher that his sister had the measles. The teacher sent him home and told him to stay there till his sister got well. After he had skipped joyfully away another boy held up his hand and said: “Teacher, Jimmy Dolan’s sister, what’s got the measles, lives in California.” A fifth-grade teacher asked a boy if his father was an Englishman, an Irishman, a Ger- man or an American. His prompt reply was: “My father is a switch- man.” “I see you are reading the dictionary. Do you find it interesting?” “No—more amusing than interesting. It spells words so different from the way I spell them.” J. H. DALTON SON CO. Dealers in CHOICE GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS AT BOSTON PRICES Tel.

Epidemics of Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Septic Sore Throat, Diphtheria and Tuberculo- sis of constant recurrence have been traced to milk. Public Health and Government officials are almost unanimous in their findings that the only safe milk is milk that has been Perfectly Pasteurized. Pasteurized Milk is milk that has been heated to a temperature of one hundred and forty-five degrees — held for thirty minutes at this tem- perature—cooled quickly to fifty degrees or less, and kept cold. The entire organization of H. P. Hood Sons recognizes its respon- sibilities for all the Hood’s Milk it distributes. Hood’s Milk is Perfectly Pasteurized—it is safe.

A gentleman met a rather “uncertain ac- quaintance” the other day, when the latter said: “I’m a little short and would like to ask you a conundrum in mental arithmetic.” “Proceed,” said the gentleman. “Well,” said the ‘short’ man, “suppose you had ten dollars in your pocket and I should ask you for five dollars how much would remain?” “Ten dollars,” was the prompt reply. “What a fine protuberant forehead your baby has, Mrs. Jones. Did he get it from his father?” “No,” replied Mrs. Jones, “he got it from a fall down stairs.” LONG-DISTANCE SHOOTING The new night watchman at the observatory was watching someone using the big telescope. Just then a star fell. “Begorra,” he said to himself, “That felly sure is a crack shot.”—Literary Digest. Popular Songs:— “Over the Hill” to High School. “I’d Like to be in Tennessee,” when dad sees my report card. “Waiting” for summer vacation. “Wang, Wang Blues” in seventh period. “Ain’t We Got Fun” translating Caesar. “Listening” for the 1.45 bell. Teacher to pupil in English class: “Please begin the lesson, G-f-n-y.” G-f-n-y: “When Lancelot arrived at the castle in Astolat a dumb man opened the door and told him to come in.” A little fellow on going for the first time to church where the pews were very high was asked on coming out what he did in church, when he replied: “I went into a cupboard and took a seat on a shelf.” Teacher in French: “In English one says, ‘Here, kitty, kitty,’ while one would say in French, ‘Vien, mimi, mimi.’ ” Miss B-k : “Do cats understand foreign lan- guages?” “If,” said the teacher, “You rhyme the facts of history it will help you to remembet them. For instance:— “ In fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” “That will help you to remember the date of the discovery of America.” Next day the teacher said: “Johnny, when did Columbus discover America?” “ In fourteen hundred and ninety-three Columbus sailed the dark blue sea.” Heard in History: “Every Roman boy chose his name when he was eight days old.” TOWELS BLANKETS COMFORTERS Table and Bed Linens LEGAL STAM PS HARVARD BAZAR CENTRAL SQUARE, CAMBRIDGE.

The high schools of the country in the early days grew very slowly, especially in the rural districts, due particularly to the sparse and scattered population, making it necessary for the students to travel miles to attend classes. In the seventies college qualifications were so simple that preparatory students were required to qualify in only three subjects to gain admit- tance. College requirements since then have become so strict that high schools have been compelled to offer a wider range of subjects; in fact, in one of the St. Louis high schools, thirty- four academic courses and twenty-five voca- tional courses are open to the student. As a result, the student has as much as he can do and the colleges, in turn, increase their require- ments. The question now arises as to whether these enlargements of the curriculum may not be overtaxing the pupil. As far back as 1890 Dr. Eliot advocated taking the seventh and eighth grades out of the elementary course; this sug- gestion was not received with any very great degree of enthusiasm at the time. However, as time went on, he gained adherents and from this idea the present “Junior High School” sys- tem was evolved. This new system gives the student a variety of subjects and vocational courses in his seventh, eighth, and ninth years of elementary education, from which he may choose at an earlier age that course to which he is best adapted and which will prove of prac- tical value to him in after years. Baseball, our national game, comes once more to the front. Already our “lightning infield” is warming up and our heavy batters are imi- tating Babe Ruth at batting practice. This year we have a fine coach in “Dutch” Ayers and we are going to have a live, champion team. There is to be also a second team, whose games will in no way interfere with the schedule of the regular team. The 1922 Baseball Schedule is published in another section of the Radiator. Seniors!

An assembly of the Senior Class was held Monday, March 13, in the High School Audi- torium. The subject of the coming graduation of the class of 1922 was brought up in the as- sembly. President Lemuel Rogers wished to discover the class’s attitude in regard to the various propositions concerning the graduation exercises, which will be held the week of June 19. A vote was taken, which disclosed that the class as a whole was not in favor of graduating out of doors on the campus. Another vote was taken, which disclosed the fact that the class was very much in favor of graduating in Tremont Temple, Boston. Tremont Temple is the only logical place available in which to grad- uate the largest class in the history of the Som- erville High School. The subject of class reunions was presented by President Rogers, and Thursday, December 28, 1922, was decided upon as the date for the first reunion of the class of ’22. It was also de- cided that the third Thursday in December be set apart each year as the date for a reunion and a good time, as many will be at home from college at this time each year. Following the reading of the secretary’s and treasurer’s reports the meeting was brought to a close by President Rogers. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 136 The Profession of Forestry By Austin F. Hawes, S. II. S., 1897. State Forester for Connecticut. AM asked to write something on “the outlook in forestry ' and of my personal experiences. It would be useless in a brief article to attempt to tell of the need of forestry in United States, or to go into details as to the measures which have been adopted for the preservation of the forests. At the time that I graduated from the High School in 1897, practically nothing had been done in this country to save the forests. In fact, they were generally considered to be in- exhaustible, and I recollect a school debate in which I argued that the forests were becoming exhausted and Mr. Hosmer, now of the faculty, argued that they were inexhaustible. The only argument of either side which I remember was advanced by him, and was to the effect that one could still get lost in the vast forests of Maine. Since then I have been temporarily lost in the woods several times, but statistics of our forest depletion are too convincing to be counter-bal- anced even by such exciting experiences. Great progress toward scientific forest man- agement has been made during the past quarter century. The most important measure was the establishment and organization in the West of the vast national forests, having a total area of 160,000,000 acres. In 1911 this policy was ex- tended to the East and we now have 2,000,000 acres of national forests in the White Moun- tains and Southern Appalachians. Supplementing the work of the national gov- ernment, many of the states have adopted for- est policies. These have been aimed primarily at the prevention of forest fires, which have been the chief factor in forest destruction, es- pecially where they have followed lumbering. In several states large state forests have been created for the purpose of growing a local tim- ber supply. New York and Pennsylvania lead in this development. Massachusetts now owns 35,000 acres of such forest, and most of the other New England states have adopted a similar policy. Government raising of timber is a necessity because of the length of time re- quired for a forest to grow. Very few people can afford to keep their money tied up for forty or fifty years in a forest, but the government, whether state or national, can, and must, do this in order that future generations shall have a lumber supply. Private forestry in this country is still in its infancy. The great question at present is whether forest owners shall be allowed to con- tinue to do just as they like with their forests or whether the public shall demand that the forests be handled with a view to continued timber production. Forestry schools or departments have been highly developed in connection with many or our leading universities and colleges. In gen- eral it may be said that a two-years’ post-gradu- ate course is required in order to acquire a for- estry degree, but some institutions make pos- sible a combination of courses so that two de- grees may be obtained in five years. It is diffi- cult to advise as to the kind of course which should be taken preliminary to the forestry course, for it depends entirely upon the kind of work one is to do. My experience leads me to feel that a young man can have no idea of what he will be doing ten or twenty years hence, and that, therefore, a general education is the most useful basis for a technical training. It is equally difficult to advise anyone as to the possibilities in the forestry profession. In general it may be said that the possibilities are not very different from those offered by other professions. They depend so largely upon a person’s ability, personality, perseverance, health and luck, that it is impossible to foretell how anyone will succeed. In fact, aside from the common conception of financial success, it is difficult to define success anyway. Perhaps one of the most inherent of human desires is to avoid monotony. In the oppor- tunities which it offers to satisfy this instinct, as well as in the satisfaction that comes from public service, forestry ranks high. Since graduating from the Yale Forest School in 1903, my own work has fallen into three quite distinct forms of employment. About four years have been spent in federal employment; thirteen years in state employ- ment, and one year with an industrial associa- tion. During my work with the federal govern- ment, I had an opportunity to visit most of the states, to see something of the forest conditions and become acquainted with most of the men engaged in my profession. Incidentally there have, of course, been interesting incidents and Continued on Page 137. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 137 Aunt Susan’s Will By Richard Sullivan, '2-1 E had hunted high and low that day for Aunt Susan’s will, but our searching had availed us nothing. The rough diagram she had left with her lawyer was very vague. We were exhausted after our hard search. The house had been practically turned inside out by us in our efforts to find the will. It was exasperating, after having carefully measured and traced every inch of the ground covered to find ourselves in a corner of the cellar where there was no cupboard of any sort where a will could be hidden. We knew there was a will somewhere because Aunt Susan was not the kind of a woman to send us on a wild goose chase. What had puzzled us the most was the fact that although she had a steady in- come she had absolutely no dealings with banks. She spent very little and if she had saved what remained after she paid her bills there must be considerable hidden somewhere. We searched carefully several times but our search always brought us back to that obscure corner of the cellar. Just as we were about to give up hope of ever finding a will, upon closer observation of the map I found a smaller arrow pointing downwards. As it was a last chance we grasped at it eagerly. Seizing pick and shovel we began digging. It was a laborious task, and after digging for an hour we had begun to despair, when my cousin Jack struck something metallic with his pick. We renewed our digging with frenzied haste and after a few moments un- covered a round metal—pipe! “Shucks!” exclaimed Jack, in deep disgust, “nothing but an old water pipe.” As he threw down his pick and started to climb up, I heard the pick strike something me- tallic again. Scraping away the covering earth I held a tin box up to the light. Hasty examin- ation by both of us revealed the carefully con- cealed will. Failure had been turned to success merely by the dropping of a pick. THE PROFESSION OF FORESTRY Continued from Page 13G. experiences. I have already referred to being lost in the woods. Ordinarily, there is no dan- ger attached to such an experience. All that is necessary is to keep cool and follow a water Going upstairs to the parlor we took the en- velope from the box. We were in high spirits and my young dog seemed to share the general feeling, for as I bent over to pat him he snatched the will from my hand and dashed joyfully out of the house towards the brook, with Jack and me following swiftly. As we neared the little bridge I grasped for the collar on the puppy, but missing I fell on my hands and knees and slid along on the bridge, skin- ning various parts of my anatomy and at the same time knocking the dog into the water. Sitting on the bridge, ruefully rubbing my bruised and battered extremities, I saw the dog swim rapidly to the shore and scamper home- ward, minus the will. A few seconds later I heard Jack shout and saw him endeavor to grasp the will, which had floated from under the bridge towards the shore. While trying to get the will, he, in his haste and anxiety, leaned a little too far out and tumbled head foremost into the stream. When he clambered upon the bank, dripping wet, he had the will grasped firmly in his hands and had resolved not to lose it again. Later, when the lawyer read the will, in the presence of witnesses, we found that for all our trouble, nothing had been left Jack and me but two old overcoats which had belonged to Uncle John. Going to the closet, we looked the coats over in disgust. They were old and moth eaten and in anger I threw mine to the floor. ’Rastus had dried and now was as playful as ever, so when the coat landed on the floor he seized a small piece of the lining in his teeth and ripped it open. Then, to my astonished eyes, came the sight of bunches of fifty-dollar bills sewed all through the lining. When I examined the other coat, finding it filled the same way, with a lump in my throat I said to Jack: “I guess our col- lege education is assured.” “You said it,” replied Jack, heartily, “thanks to dear old Aunt Susan.” course until it leads to some settlement. On one occasion, however, I had a more thrilling experience, when a companion and I were lost in the Grand Canyon of Arizona. The danger in this case did not lie in lack of knowledge of (Continued on Page 150.) 138 SOMERVILLE PUGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Rookie By Russell B. Grush, '22 TORRID blast from out of the desert beyond the little town of San Jose, in the shadow of the lofty Aztec range, swept across the training camp of the Giants and caused the players at practice to grumble about the arid climate of New Mexico. The heat, however, only diverted their attention from the game for a moment; not that the con- test was exciting, but the men were taking great delight in riding a rookie pitcher, the latest arrival at the spring training camp. The object of their derision was Jack Clifford, a sturdy youth of twenty, who hailed from Kearney, Nebraska. He had worked his way •across two states, mostly by rail, via the blind baggage route and had endured many hardships just (o have a tryout with the Lincoln Base- ball Club, the team that represented his state in the Western League. The account of his jour- ney reads like a novel; frequent run-ins with tramps, a week in a country jail on a charge of ■vagrancy, and a narrow escape from death in a railroad wreck were some of the exciting things that had happened to the young man. He based his claims for a trial on the fact that he had been the star pitcher of Hastings High, the county champions, for three years and had seen a summer’s service with a strong semi- professional nine in Kearney. A recital of his previous record to Speed Sheridan, the short- stop and manager of the Giants, on his arrival at San Jose, had made little impression on the player-manager and it was with reluctance that he finally •consented to give the young Nebraskan a try- out. Not disheartened in the least by the cool reception he received, Clifford waited patiently for two days before he was called upon to show his ability. Thus we find him on a hot after- noon pitching for the first time in a big league uniform before a motley gathering of white people from the hotel, Mexicans, cowboys and half-breeds. The one redeeming feature of the whole scene in the eyes of the rookie was the presence of a most attractive young girl in the group of spec- tators from the hotel. From her straight ath- letic figure and ruddy complexion, Jack Clifford judged her to be an out-of-doors girl. The ob- servant recruit also noticed the keen, live inter- est she displayed at the contest. If he had hoped to win the approval of the girl by his pitching he was doomed to disappointment, for his physical condition after his long journey would not permit him to do so. He made a ludi- crous performance on the mound for the second team, being laughed at even by his own men for his utter lack of control. “Who said you could pitch?” and countless other sarcastic questions were hurled at him from all sides. After five innings of pitching Clifford gave way to a relief twirler and quit the field downcast over his failure. Although he felt humbled at his miserable showing and was willing to admit that the players were jus- tified in making fun of him, he resented the attitude of one man toward him. In his mind the ironical Speed Sheridan played the role of a tyrant, for both on the field and off the field he persisted in being disagreeable to the rookie pitcher. Clifford blamed the Giants’ manager for making him the laughing stock of the camp just through mere prejudice. His first attempt at big league pitching had earned him the nick- name “Aviator,” because, as the veterans said, he always went up in the air, whenever he pitched. It was not difficult for Clifford to guess the author of the name, but he accepted it, and many other gibes about his pitching ability, in silence. A strict observance of training yules for the next two days enabled the rookie to regain part of his old time form. Card parties at the club- house and dances at the hotel were sacrificed for extra sleep. Clifford was doubly anxious to make good with the Lincoln Giants. He wanted to have the satisfaction of showing Sheridan that he was good enough to play in the big league, and also to win the favor of a certain feminine follower of the national game. Prior to the opening of the game in which Clifford was given his second pitching assign- ment, joy and fear mingled in his thoughts. He was glad to have the chance to show his real form to the veterans, but yet he feared that he might have overestimated his pitching strength. A work-out before the contest dispelled all his fears and he became supremely confident. Speed was his greatest asset, and it did not take the regulars long to find it out when the game started. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 133 “Say, our Aviator has steam!” remarked Pug Harrison, the stalwart backstop, who was on the receiving end with the rookie. “Guess we’ll have to call him our cannon ball now,” joked another. “Speed isn’t everything, in fact it counts for nothing unless you’ve got good control and a fair assortment of curves.” This remark from Manager Sheridan spoiled the ambitious pitcher’s joy at striking out the first man that faced him. He was about to make an angry reply to the unappreciative manager when he chanced to see the girl from the hotel in the stands looking his way. For the moment he forgot his resent- ment toward the shortstop and put the best that he had into his work. When a man strives his utmost to accomplish a thing, and then is criticised on the ground that he lacked effort, his pride is sure to be in- jured. This was exactly what happened to Jack Clifford after he had pitched an admirable game for the second team and only lost through the poor support of a green infield. “Another set-back for the boy wonder of Kearney,” jeered Sheridan, as the rookie was leaving the field. “If you had tried—” “Tried” interrupted Clifford, heatedly, “What do you want me to do? I almost threw my arm off just to gain a little credit and this is what I get. I’m through with you.” Before the manager could frame a reply the excited rookie turned and hurried away. Hav- ing his hard efforts criticised so unjustly was too much for the well-meaning recruit, and he determined to slip out of camp at the first op- portunity that offered. A slow-moving freight scheduled to pass through San Jose in the evening on its way north was the method of travel he finally de- cided upon to leave the camp. It did not take him long to pack his few personal effects and make ready for his departure, and he spent the early evening hours in his room at the hotel in a more or less pensive mood. There was only one person in the whole town that he regretted to leave and that was the girl who had wit- nessed his tryout. Her presence had inspired him and helped him wonderfully in his pitching and he would not soon forget her. However, any romantic notions that entered his head were not strong enough to sway him from his purpose. His experience as a rookie had taught him that a player’s life in the big league is not a path strewn with roses, as the public is in- clined to believe; also he had gotten the im- pression from the player-manager of the Giants that big league managers were a hard hearted lot. Clifford slipped out of the rear entrance of the hotel with his suitcase just as the chapel bells in a nearby mission were striking the hour of ten. The plaintive, wailing call of a coyote from the des- ert followed the bells and then all was silent. The loneliness of the night made the departing rookie feel depressed. Therefore, when he sud- denly collided with someone while rounding a corner of the San Jose station, he received a real shock. To his utter amazement he found that he had accidentally bumped into none other than “the girl.” “I beg pardon,” he mumbled, reddening at his. open nervousness. “I’m sorry this happened— I—it is all my fault.” “Why, it’s Jack Clifford!” exclaimed the girl,, and noticing his agitated manner and suitcase added: “I hope there is nothing wrong.” “No—nothing, I assure you,” stammered the rookie, and started to pass her. She deliberately stepped in his way and faced him squarely. “Tell me, why are you leaving?’ she quietly asked. This sudden and totally unexpected encounter with the girl he had given up hope of ever meeting, left Clifford at a loss what to say. He could not complain of the tyranny of the Giants' manager, for it sounded foolish, but then that was the reason for leaving the camp. “Perhaps I can answer that,” she said after a short silence. “You objected to the manager's unkind attitude and apparent unappreciation of your earnest work.” “Apparent unappreciation!” protested Clif- ford. “He told me to my face that I didn’t even try.” “He didn’t mean that,” said the girl. “If you will only allow me to explain.” “And why should you try to make me believe Sheridan appreciated my efforts?” “Will you listen to me first?” she said, in such an appealing manner that she won his immedi- ate attention. “I admit Mr. Sheridan was rather hasty in his criticisms and actions toward you when you first arrived at the training camp, but he was troubled with hold-outs. Your disappointing showing at your first trial irritated him very much. Today, your surprising come-back awoke him to the fact that you would make a first-class twirling asset for the coming cam- paign with careful coaching. When he ad- dressed you in his bluff way after the game (he Continued on Page 141. 140 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Radio Bv Chandler H. Burckes, ’22 HERE are people who consider radio merely as a child’s toy, or a rich man’s hobby. They cannot under- stand how a person can learn any- thing from having and operating a radio set. These people have been misled. The facts of the case are directly opposite. I will describe to you. first, the voices of the ether that are waiting for you to intercept them; second, the simplicity of the apparatus for receiving mes- sages, voice and music; third, the practical in- struction which you would gain by operating a wireless receiving set. The truth about these subjects will surprise you. On practically every night in the week some station is broadcasting a radio concert that everyone is welcome to enjoy. There are stations all over the United States, owned by radio companies, furnishing amusement for in- numerable possessors of wireless sets. The Westinghouse Electric Company maintains four stations. One is at East Pittsburg, Pennsyl- vania; another is at Newark, New Jersey; an- other at Chicago, Illinois; another at Springfield Mass. The Amrad, or American Radio Re- search Corporation, has an active station at Medford Hillside, Mass. The Amrad station sends out police reports and several phonograph records by wireless telephone every evening. The police reports are sent from Boston police headquarters, and describe missing persons and stolen automobiles from Boston on the current day. Wednesday evenings a special concert is given. Some of the numerous phonograph com- panies of Boston usually lend some records to be played. A radio sermon is broadcasted every Sunday evening. Sometimes glee clubs and other interesting musical organizations per- form. Lately, Miss Dai Buell gave a piano re- cital at this station. The other stations are as active in their sections, and an exceptional set can sometimes hear their concerts, speeches, and announcements. Although the concerts are a very interesting part of the radio game to a newcomer, there are other points of interest. At ten o’clock every night a powerful station at Arlington, West Virginia, sends out the correct time for the radio operators. Many jewelers have installed wireless outfits in order to obtain the right time for their clocks and watches. There are many amateur operators, some of whom have in- stalled telephone sets, and who are constantly conversing among each other. Their conversa- tions are as interesting as a concert. If a per- son is able to receive the wireless code, the press dispatches to and from Europe are within his grasp. Powerful stations are going day and night here and across the ocean which can be heard. You see, do you not, that there is a very lively business going on in the radio world, and that it will pay one to hear it? A person needs but little, if any, knowledge of the theory of wireless reception to hear these things. Radio sets are now for sale which re- quire a minimum of adjusting. They will do almost as good work as those sets which you see in the Sunday supplements, consisting of no. less than a dozen adjustments, a barbed wire en- tanglement around the set, and signs warning of high voltage on the wall. In fact, I am sure that a beginner would have much better luck with such a set as I will describe, with four ad- justments, of which two need to be used. He can put this set on his parlor table, or anywhere, and, connecting a wire to the water pipe, and another to any piece of wire about thirty feet or more in length, no matter where, can hear everything in the radio world. In this set, which is almost the simplest set to operate, excluding the very cheap sets, there are four adjustments. One, the rheostat, which controls the heat of the Audion bulb, is set at a certain point, and left there until the operator is through. Another is a vernier, which is used only in exceptional cases. The other two ad- justments are very simple. One, a large dial, is rotated until a desired signal is loudest. The other is then turned to the point where the sig- nal comes in louder still. That completes the operation called “tuning in.” I doubt if there is one of the skeptics who is willing to admit that he has not enough intelligence to perform those two operations. Where, pray, is the source of the belief that a person must go to college to operate a wireless set? When one has had a radio set for a while, he begins to have a desire to know how it works. Perhaps he buys a radio magazine. If he reads this, he will find many technical articles which will make him familiar with the subject of wire- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR less. The proud owner of a receiver is sure to tell others about it, and will some day meet a bona fide amateur, who talks in a language steeped with electrical terms and theory. From this also one gradually, unconsciously, absorbs many facts. Perhaps you do not feel that you can afford to disburse a hundred and seventy-five dollars on a set, as you would have to if you wished to have the set which I described. There are few who are able to do that. The thing that most people do in such an extremity is to attempt to make their own set. In this case a very valuable knowledge of electricity and its laws is ac- quired. The ambitious constructor usually buys all the magazines in the stores on the sub- ject, and tries to make his set like the best. Al- though the first attempt never meets expecta- tions, the second or third is always a very good set, and by that time the course in radio com- munication has been absorbed, and our hero is a member of the body of “hams,” as radio ama- teurs are called. It is-now apparent that owner- THE ROOKIE (Continued from Page 139.) never compliments a rookie for fear it would make him conceited if he did) he wanted to tell you that you might have won the contest if you had tried a few curves along with your unusuai speed.” “Then I’ve judged Speed Sheridan wrongly,” said Clifford. “A natural error,” she smiled, “and for writ- ten proof concerning mv statements I have a telegram here for Dutch Grover, the leading Giants’ twirler.” “But what has that got to do with my case?” “Grover is a hold-out for a big increase in his salary,” she explained. “The manager would never have granted his exorbitant demands ii it had not been for you, but he saw that you needed a coach, and Dutch Grover is just the pitcher to impart the necessary knowledge to you. This message announces Sheridan’s sur- render to the hold-out and begs him to ‘burn up the rails’ getting here.” “Now, will you please tell me to whom I am indebted for being saved from making the greatest mistake of my life?” asked the rookie earnestly. “You are sure you have quite forgiven the fiery Mr. Sheridan?” she questioned, her eyes sparkling. “Forgiven the manager of the Giants! gasped Clifford. “Wait until he finds out that I was going to take French leave and he may 141 ship of a radio set certainly does teach one something of value. If you are ever invited to visit the home of a possessor of a radio set, take advantage of the opportunity. If you can, hear the voices of the aii that I have described. You will realize that there is a world, interesting and amusing, in the air around us. If you see the set, and hear the amateur describe it, you will see that it is not very complicated, although it may look so. Your radio friend can show you what parts to his set are absolutely necessary, and you will then see that a simple-operating set is a very possible thing. As to whether radio is in- structive, think of your friend before he had the set, and now. Did he used to talk in such a technical language? Did he use to know all these facts about electricity and physics? Has he gone to college to learn about these things ?

Words cannot describe just how the young ball-player looked or felt at the girl’s revelation, but it is safe to say that the news came as the biggest surprise of his life. “I certainly feel honored to know you, Miss Sheridan,” was all he could manage to say, and then lowering his head, lapsed into silence. Presently the girl laughed lightly, and Clif- ford, looking up, glanced at her inquiringly. “I was only thinking what a narrow escape my brother’s team had to-night,” she explained. “If I hadn’t come to the station to send that message you would have gotten away from the camp. The next stop along the route is El Capitan, the training camp of our greatest rivals, the Minneapolis Blue Sox, where the Fanning clan reign in harmony. Undoubtedly you have heard of Jim Fanning’s son Dick be- fore. He is the best pitcher in the league, and if you had dropped off at El Capitan, he would surely have developed you into a most willing ‘Jack, the Giant Killer.’ ” “As it happened,” concluded the exultant rookie, “the fair princess persuaded me that the Giants were my friends instead of my enemies. Next summer when I face Fanning’s Blue Sox an up-to-date composer may have an inspira- tion to write ‘The Minneapolis Blues.’ ” 142 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR VOTES OF THE, ALVMNI CAT1PBELL-0S 1921 John Carey was the freshman member of the committee in charge of the annual men’s ban- quet of Boston University College of Liberal Arts, which was held March 10, at the college building.

The Council feels that the attendance is not up to the stan- dard of past years and it is endeavoring to dis- cover a remedy. The press agent of the Council in her monthly report stated that a report of all school activi- ties is printed weekly in the newspapers of Boston and Somerville. Co-operate with your Students’ Council for the betterment of your school. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 143 JHLETKS SOMERVILLE, 1; ARLINGTON, 0 In one of the best and hardest fought ice games of the season Somerville shut out Ar- lington by a score of 1 to 0. This winning raised Somerville nearer the top of the Inter- scholastic Hockey League standing. The red and blue had the advantage from the start. Captain Dresser, with the heip of Jere- miah, McFayden and Crandall kept their rivals on pins by their fast skating and the knack of placing the puck at a scoring position. The excellent work of Hammond, the Arlington goalie, resulted in the score remaining as it did. Arlington was depending on Captain Lynch at centre, but as he was kept so well covered it was almost impossible for him to get into dan- gerous territory. At the end of the third period neither team had scored and they secured permission to play for live more minutes. About a minute after the extra period be- scholastic Hockey League game played at the Arena. Melrose seemed to have everything its own way for the first two periods and blocked Som- erville in every direction. In the last period Melrose put in a few' substitutes, who were un- able to stand the combined efforts of the Som- erville team and thus let them score both of their points. Captain Dresser, Goal Tender Roberts, Jere- miah and McFayden all played well for Somer- ville. Harrington, Marshall and Dale did good work for Melrose. BASEBALL Spring is on its way and we look forward to what spring always brings, baseball. Coach (Dutch) Ayers looks forward to and feels that we will have a championship team. We have with us for a starter, Captain Crandall, who will hold down first bag; “Lefty’' Nickerson and McFayden, who will occupy the pitcher’s box. A call for candidates will be issued shortly and after the selection practice will start immedi- ately. There will be a second team which will play its own schedule. gan, Captain Dresser received a pass at mid-ice from Jeremiah and swooping down the right lane with the rival points chasing, he shot the disc home for the victory.

In- stead of their regular singing lesson they listened to an exceptionally charming program by the MacDowell Quartette, of which Head- master Avery is a member. Breathless attention and unstinted applause were given each member. A little surprise ap- peared on some faces at the new role in which Mr. Avery appeared and his wonderful execu- tion among the low notes, though many knew of his work as a singer and that of the superior quartette. A considerable audience was pres- ent, for in addition to the nearly 600 members of the class of 1922, several of the instructors brought their classes into the hall to enjoy the unexpected treat. Following is the complete programme:— Hail to Our Native Land Verdi Absent” Metcalf Quartette Sing, Sing, Birds on the Wing” Nutting Mr. Ellis Maid of the Valley” Herbeck Sweetheart” Prentiss Quartette Only a Tiny Garden” Wood Mr. Ellis On the Sea” Buck Let the Rest of the World” Brennan Quartette Quartette Charles W.

S., ’17, Radcliffe, ’22, will have the leading role in the opera “Patience,” which will be given by the Radcliffe Choral Society, at Agassiz Theatre, early in April. A large group of students will sing in the chorus. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 145 AS OTHERS SEE US. The Radiator—We think a few short poems would add a beautiful touch to your book. Where are your pictures? You should at least have a few “cuts” of your athletic teams, be- cause-pictures are one-of the surest means of stimulating the spirit of the school.—Botol- phian, B. C. High School. The Radiator—You have a splendid all-round magazine. Why not put your jokes in a sep- arate column?—Advocate, Needham High School. The Radiator—The best thing in your maga- zine are the clever department headings. The few stories and jokes are good, but your maga- zine seems to lack unity and it is confusing to have jokes scattered broadcast through it. —Thistle, Scott High School, Toledo. Radiator—We are glad to welcome the Radi- ator at Edward Little. Your editorial on “The Limitation of Armaments” is interesting. Why not a few more jokes?—Oracle, E. L. H. S., Au- burn, Maine. Radiator—All your stories are unusually good. The library department is interesting and instructive.—Orange Peals, Orange High School. AS WE SEE OTHERS. The Botolphian, Boston College High—We have only praise for the December Botolphian. Your athletic notes are great and your jokes extremely clever. Lawrence High School Bulletin—The more you come the better we like it. Your jokes are good, but you need more stories and cuts. Advocate, Needham High School—A fine- paper full of humor and interest. our stories are excellent, but why not have a few more cuts ? Argus, Gardner High School—It seems to us your paper could be arranged to better advan- tage. Your jokes are good but there is room for improvement in your stories. Stetson Oracle, High School, Randolph, Mass. —A well written paper. Your class notes are very clever, as are also your jokes. Why not have a page of cartoons? Thistle, Scott High School—As usual we have only praise for your wonderful paper. Your various departments are excellent, but we don’t care for your jokes. Review, Newton High School—The oftenei you come the better we like it. Your paper is full of interest. Your stories are great. In fact, we have nothing but praise for the Re- view. Orange Peals, Orange High School—You have a fine paper with interesting stories, clever jokes and good cuts. Come again. Advance, Salem High School—Your article on “School Spirit and Sportsmanship” is to be commended. Your literary department is good but you need more jokes. Rindge Register, Rindge Technical School— Your cartoons are certainly great and the story “Fullback Fellon” is extremely well written. Your athletic notes are fine, but your jokes seem to be among the missing. Oracle, Edward Little High School, Auburn, Maine—We are glad to welcome you to our ex- change column and hope you will come often. You have fine material in your paper, but it is arranged very poorly. Your alumni editor must be a hustler. Your jokes are good, better than your stories. 146 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1922 Charles G. Daniels, Editor Walter V.

Eugene Field was a great lover of old books, and quite a collector of them. His means were not adequate to his desires, however, and one of the quaintest proofs of this was a slip of pa- per, found by a purchaser of an old volume, in Field’s handwriting, evidently an impromptu verse:— “Kind friend, for goodness’ sake forbear To buy the book thou findest here, For when I do obtain the pelf, I mean to buy the book myself.” —Barbara McCloud, 22. 1923 John Holmes, Editor Stanley Teele, Assistant Editor Fountain: “How did you manage to sell that manuscript of yours—by telling the editor what a good writer you are?” Penn: “No, by telling him what a good editor he is.” He (lingering in the hall) : “And dearest, we shall grow old together, you and I.” Voice from above: “Well, you needn’t start now, need you?” Chester: “I wonder why they hung that pic- ture?” Field: “Probably couldn’t find the artist.” The late traveler: “What time does the five- thirty train leave?” Station agent: “At five-thirty.” Late traveler: “Well, the station clock says five twenty-eight and the town clock says five thirty-two. Which clock shall I go by?” Station agent: “I don’t care which clock you go by, but you can’t go by the train because it has already gone.” First Senior (after the exam): “Did you get all the questions?” Second Ditto: “Oh, yes, but the answers bothered me.” Examiner: “The snake I am speaking of is said to strike with mathematical precision.” Wit: “Mathematical precision!

Epidemics of Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Septic Sore Throat, Diphtheria and Tuberculo- sis of constant recurrence have been traced to milk. Public Health and Government officials are almost unanimous in their findings that the only safe milk is milk that has been Perfectly Pasteurized. Pasteurized Milk is milk that has been heated to a temperature of one hundred and forty-five degrees — held for thirty minutes at this tem- perature—cooled quickly to fifty degrees or less, and kept cold. The entire organization of H. P. Hood Sons recognizes its respon- sibilities for all the Hood’s Milk it distributes. Hood’s Milk is Perfectly Pasteurized—it is safe.

We finally regained our strength and made our escape through finding a brook and a can of un- ground coffee, which had been left by a camp- ing party a year previously. The date of their visit was carved on the rock. Government work, however, is by no means all adventure. In Washington it is quite the reverse. Among the one hundred thousand employees one becomes lost in the tremendous machine which works slowly and with a great deal of waste motion, but none the less patri- otically to carry on our great government. Space does not permit of a discussion of the relative merits of federal and state work, or of governmental and private work. There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages about all. The pioneer stage in the profession is passing. For the next generation of foresters there will be less time wasted in propaganda work, and greater satisfaction in the practice of the art of forest management.

Never in history has there been so many changes in ways and means of doing simple every-day things. Take for instance the matter of writing implements: the fountain pen was hailed as a remarkable forward step in writing equipment, but progress has demanded improvement upon the original idea. Today the rubber fountain pen is being replaced by the all-metal fountain pen, lighter, more than double in ink capacity, more efficient in every way, and what is most remarkable, at no greater cost. Also the wooden lead pencil of a few short years ago is practically a thing of the past. It has given way to the mechanical metal pencil that is always sharp. There is a very good reason for all of these changes. The demand of the day is for more efficient, time-saving devices in every line of en- deavor. Time is too precious, as business is conducted today, to waste in sharpening leads or dipping your pen into an ink well. The modern up-to-date man and woman are equipped with the very latest improve- ments in writing implements; their possession confers upon them the distinction of keeping up with the progress spirit of the age.

It has reached serious pro- portions, now that we have before us the menace of a wide-spread coal strike involving more than half a million mine workers. Destitution and distress have caused a ma- terial increase in crime throughout the country. This is a situation which concerns us all, either directly or indirectly, as national prosperity cannot be maintained while five million men are unemployed. Quoting one of our daily papers: “Employ- ment means buying power, buying power means production and production means employment; employment is the starting point in the circle that insures prosperity.” The present depression is due principally to the disinclination of laborers to return to nor- malcy. In other words, their attitude of cling- ing to war wages is handicapping their em- ployers. Many of the trade journals feel that the peak has been reached and that we can confidently expect a gradual resumption of normal indus- trial and business activity if both capital and labor are willing to make sacrifices for the gen- eral welfare. There is to be but one more regular issue of “The Radiator” this year. Seniors! it is your last chance to write a story or to furnish ma- terial for your high school magazine. Make the May issue worth while! When the May num- ber is finally safely on its way to take its place among the records of the Class of ’22, which soon will be filed, we look forward eagerly to the publication of the Year Book of the Class of ’22, which will be published the first week in June. This year everyone will want a Year Book, as it is not for Seniors only, but will contain a pic- ture, group or otherwise, of everyone in the Somerville High School. It is going to be a book to keep, 200 pages, mostly pictures, and bound in heavy leatherette. Do not be one of the sad ones when June arrives and you have no Year Book, as the “Book” is to be sold only by subscription and will be limited to 1,500 copies. It will be wise to follow the old slogan, “Buy early and avoid the rush.” Following are the proposed dates for the Senior events: Class Day, Monday, June 12; Senior Night, Tuesday, June 13; Graduation, Thursday, June 15. Good times are coming, Seniors! There are less than two months remaining of your high school life. Make them worth while. Work for higher standards of scholarship so that you may have no regrets in the near future. Following are the Year Book Committees elected from the different classes to assist the Radiator Staff in the production of the Radiator Year Book, which is to be an exceptionally fine publication, having pictures of every student in the Somerville High School and many other features. SENIOR George Novack Charles Campbell Henry O’Connell Gladys French Grace Thompson SOPHOMORE Sophie Wolf Kenneth Campbell Hester Smith Irving Spering JUNIOR Frances Knibbs Inez Comstock Kenneth McLeod Andrew Pike SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 159 On Tuesday, March 28, there was held in the Auditorium an assembly of the entire school for the purpose of hearing four Kentucky Mountain boys who are touring the country to acquaint people with the poor educational and living conditions in their Southern mountains. The region in which these mountaineers live is known as the John Fox country, of which little is known, as it is isolated from the rest of the United States by mountains and the lack of railroads. This region, which is as large as New England and New York State combined, contains a population of 5,000,000 people most of whom are unable to read or write. Because of lack of educational advantages the morals of these people have deteriorated and much law- lessness is present. However, with the organi- ation of Community Centres where the Ken- tuckians are taught by college graduates, as these four youths have been, there is a more cheerful prospect for the coming men and women of this region. The first boy to speak was a lad fifteen years old, who spoke clearly, but with a slight accent of the rude log-cabin schoolhouses in the walls of which were gaps and holes through which one might enter. He told of his school many miles from a railroad in which there were taught the principles of physical cleanliness, mental alertness and moral straightness. He told of the attitude of the mountaineers toward a newcomer, regarding all “furriners” with sus- picion, as “Coal Barons” had robbed them of valuable coal lands. The next speaker was a boy about fourteen years old, who showed a diagram of the “pur- pose road” with the ideals to live up to along the way. Following this youth a boy ten years of age spoke on “The Second Mile.” This boy was called “the least one” because of his youth- fulness. He spoke with a real Kentuckian ac- cent. After the last speaker a young man of about twenty-one spoke on educational condi- tions and said that Kentucky might produce another “Abe Lincoln.” Following the addresses the Kentuckians en- tertained the students with local Kentucky songs which were rendered without the piano. These songs were both plaintive and humorous in character, being essentially different from the modern “Jazz.” The addresses and songs were enjoyed by all and both students and teachers showed their appreciation by unstinted applause. The Radiator Staff appreciated greatly the contribution of an article entitled “The Profes- sion of Forestry” published in the March Radi- ator. “The Profession of Forestry” was writ- ten by Mr. Austin F. Hawes, who graduated from the Somerville High School in 1897. Mr. Hawes is now Chief of the Connecticut Forestry Service, and he is well equipped by practical ex- perience to write of his work, Forestry. Al- though a photograph of him was unobtainable for a frontispiece, “The Profession of Forestry’ was appreciated by all as an interesting and in- structive article from one of Somerville High School’s distinguished graduates. Recent advices from former Sub-Master Frank M. Hawes report him as taking an ex- tended tour of the South. Among other events of interest Mr. Hawes mentioned dining with Miss Morey, now of East Tennessee, but long a beloved instructor in the Somerville High School. Mr. Hawes has lately established a home with his family in Hartford, Conn. It is a pleasure to hear that our good friends are enjoying the pleasures of rest and leisure. Congratulations, Miss Morey and Mr. Hawes, but—we miss you. 160 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Will She Ever Know? By Irving G. Wessman, 1922 1ICHARD DAVIS had been employed in the Edgeworth Architectural Company for three years. He re- ceived thirty dollars a week, and J honestly believed he was worth considerably more, but he was hin- dered from grasping opportunities by his bash- fulness. Before Mr. Edgeworth had left for his cus- tomary semi-annual business trip he had hired a new stenographer and placed her under Richard’s charge. Miss Helen Walters was finishing her first week as stenographer for Richard and in his opinion she was also finishing her first week of stenography. During the latter part of the week she was kept busy re-writing the letters written the first of the week. Richard was more than disgusted with her because his own tendency was toward carefulness and exactness in details, and he could not understand how she could be so stupid. He had planned that as soon as Mr. Edgeworth came back he would show him her inefficiency and have her discharged, but a telegram that morning stated that Mr. Edgeworth would not be back for three weeks. Richard had especially wanted to have the work which he was in charge of go smoothly in Mr. Edgeworth’s absence, and he felt that her ineffi- ciency was almost a personal affront. She didn’t know how much he disliked her because of his bashfulness. Time and again Richard had been on his way to her desk to give her a “call-down” but his bashfulness prevented it. No matter how hard he tried to be stern and poised his dignity left him in her presence. One day Richard received a telephone call from Bob Norton, a chum of his. Richard knew that every time Bob called him he had some kind of a party to go to. “Well! where do you want me to go now, Bob?” said Richard, in a resigned tone. “I’ve got four theatre tickets and two girls, •and what more do you want? I’ve arranged for a Miss Walters to come. I met her at a dance recently and she’d be a fine girl for you.” “I hope all the Miss Walters aren’t the same, because I have a stenographer here by that name and she’s a ‘dumb-bell.’ ” They were to meet at their usual place on Glendale avenue, and as usual Richard was there early. He had been waiting only a few minutes when who should come along but Miss Walters. He tried to back away and go down the next street but was stopped by a “Why, how do you do, Mr. Davis!” He knew his luck was against him when he saw Bob coming across the street with a friend. Bob introduced Richard to Miss Walters and Richard made no sign that he had known her before, because he did not want Bob to know that this was the “dumb-bell.” At the theatre Richard’s impression of Miss Walters changed, and he found her to be bright and intelligent and very sensible. He asked her to go to the movies on the following Monday and then the time-clock told the story. Their numbers were ten and eleven and their hours of coming in, going to and from lunch, and going home were identical. As he became better acquainted with her Richard found that her apparent stupidity was no reflection on the girl’s intelligence but due to a combination of circumstances—an artistic rather than a business-like tendency, a college course in high school suddenly given up at her father’s death, and a consequently hasty and superficial training in stenography. Under the influence of his friendship with her Richard also felt new confidence in himself. Her ignorance of business details made his knowledge of them seem wonderful to her, and she had an unaffected, sincere and—to Richard—utterly charming way of showing him this. Then one morning there was a telegram on Richard’s desk saying that Mr. Edgeworth had been further detained in Chicago and that it was up to Richard to put a certain big contract- ing deal through. Richard had practically all the data on it, but how could he see the con- tractor and discuss that important matter? He had never done any business of this sort and he realized how bashful he was. The contractor had arrived and Richard and he were ushered into the director’s room. An hour had passed before they were ready to speak on the financial part of the deal. “Well,” Richard said, “what’s your price?” “Twenty thousand and not a penny less,” an- swered the contractor. Richard choked, “Why, I could get it done for less than that.” “We’ll let it go for eighteen thousand. How’s that?” Richard knew that his actions would either make or break his opportunities.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 161 Tide Power By Emily Wright, 1922 ITHIN the last six years a remarka- ble invention has come into exist- ence,—that of Mr. John Knowlton. The invention, known as the “Knowlton Hydraulic Air Motor,” is, in a word, the medium through which electricity may be generated without the use of coal or steam. After the perfection of the motor Mr. Knowlton organized the Universal Tide Power Company, of which the sole purpose is to further develop and install the Hydraulic Air Motor. The first office of the corporation was installed at 175 Tremont Street, Boston, and at that time stock was selling at the seemingly ab- surd price of ten cents a share. Later, the office was moved to Canal Street, and little by little the Company grew until, in- stead of one office, a suite of offices was neces- sary. Furthermore, that the public was not un- appreciative of the value of the invention is shown by the fact that the demand for shares was so great as to increase the price from the previous ten cents to five dollars, with a proba- ble further rise in the near future. At present approximately fifty agents are employed in selling stock in this vicinity, and the corporation has, with foresight, procured patent rights in Canada, Argentina, Chili, Eng- land and France. In order that the public may become familial with the situation a working model of the Air Motor has been installed on the street floor of the Canal Street offices, and in East Saugus, on the Saugus river, is a demonstration plant. As one enters the room in which the Motor is installed one sees on the left wall a painting done in oil that represents the demonstration plant at Saugus. In the right foreground of the picture is the breakwater dam containing six- teen gates against which the incoming tide rises. These gates remain closed until the tide has reached a high point, when the pressure of the water becomes great enough to push open the gates and to allow the water to rush through them into the reservoir. The tide continues rising its usual length of time, and meanwhile the gates remain open, but when the tide turns, the return pressure of the water closes the gates, thereby retaining the water in the reservoir. This water passes into well-rooms which the painting shows to be built in the wall that divides the reservoir from the spillway, and which comprise a second part of the demonstration. From the well-rooms the water escapes into the spillway, which is really another reservoir. The painting shows six gates, opening outward, in the wall that sur- rounds the spillway, and at ebb tide, when the level of the water outside the spillway falls be- low the base of the gates, they open, allowing the water to flow out into the tide. The second part of the demonstration consists of an ex- planation of the working of the Hydraulic Air Motor and its connection with the well-rooms. The model is in miniature, taking up a space of not more than four feet by ten feet. The first impression of the model is that it is merely an oblong tank of the above dimensions, but closer inspection reveals mechanical devices con- structed on braces which hold them up over the tank. At one end of the tank is partitioned off a space of four feet by one foot, and this is di- vided in the centre by a partition. On each side of the latter is a large float, on which are fas- tened pistons. The other, larger part of the tank is filled with water and this represents the tide. The water is made to rise by allowing more water to enter the tank from a pipe inlet. As it rises the water forces open the gates into the tiny well-rooms, and on entering there causes the floats to rise on top of the water, and with them the pistons. These in turn force compressed air through pipes into a compressed air tank. Then, as the well-rooms become fuii of water and the floats are raised to their high- est point, a second gate on the opposite side of the well-rooms opens, letting out the water and thus lowering the floats. The process then re- peats and will repeat as long as the tides last. (Continued on Page 162.) 162 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR WILL SHE EVER KNOW? (Continued from Page 160.) 'domination of the other man’s forcefulness he almost gave in, shyly, bashfully, as usual. Then he remembered Miss Walters and her simple confidence in him. He straightened up. “See here!”—Richard produced a pad and pencil. “I’ve figured that your expenses for material and labor will amount to fourteen thousand dollars. Let’s call it fifteen thousand and be square.” For the next half hour Richard worked hard, going over figures and details, skillfully explain- ing and persuading. “Do you take it at fifteen thousand?” Rich- ard finally cleared the desk with a business-like flourish. “Yes or no?” “Well, we’ll have to let it go at that,” and after he had signed the agreement the con- tractor angrily hustled out the door. The following day Edgeworth came back. “Did you finally persuade him to take it at eighteen thousand dollars?” “Why. that deal has been put through for fifteen thousand.” “Richard,” Edgeworth spoke up with a busi- ness-like attitude. “The position of general manager is open, as Jackson is leaving for Europe, so could I induce you to accept it?” The thought of success flashed into Richard’s mind. He was so surprised that he forgot to clear his throat. When he spoke his voice was husky. “Thanks for the opportunity and I’ll certainly try my best.” After the conversation Edgeworth proceeded to relate his troubles to Richard. “I thought that stenographer wasn’t any good. I want someone with brains. See here! The first thing we’ll do will be to get rid of her. She’s been here two weeks. Here’s her check for a month—that’ll be like two weeks’ notice. Only I don’t want her here two weeks! I don’t want her here two minutes.” “She’s getting along very well now. I think she’ll do better if she’s given the chance.” “It doesn’t look that way, and I’ve gotten an awful opinion of her by those letters I received from you.” “Well, of course you couldn’t expect very much of her the first few days she was here; and I’ll admit I wrote those letters rather hur- riedly.” “She doesn’t look as though she’d ever be- come a good stenographer, so we won’t discuss it further. Please give her this check with the notice.” Richard found his way to Helen’s desk and told her of his advancement. “Oh, Richard! I’m so proud of you. I al- ways knew you were the smartest man in the office!” Richard hated to tell her of her discharge. He hesitated. Then an idea came to him. He looked cautiously around to make sure that ail doors were closed, and that they were alone. “Do you remember I was saying that you’d be an inspiration to any man? Can I—er—that is—.” Richard lost his speech that he had planned so carefully. “That is—will you marry me ?” “Why, Richard! What an awful time to ask me!” “What difference does that make?” he asked softly. “And we’ll get married as soon as pos- sible. I want to get you out of here right away. An office is no place for you.” Helen shook her head. “Not for six weeks anyway.” “You’re not going to stay here another day; and besides, Mr. Edgeworth gave me your check and it’s for a whole month. I guess the extra two weeks is for a present.” “You must have been awfully sure of your- self, telling him before you asked me. But I don’t care, I’m happy.” “So am I, I’ve just got a good raise and the sweetest girl in the world.” TIDE POWER (Continued from Page 161.) The compressed air forced into the tank in this manner is used as a substitute for steam. A pipe connects the air-tank with the air-motor, and when the pipe is open the air passes through to the motor, causing the motor to be set in motion. This operates a dynamo that generates enough electricity to illuminate twelve small electric bulbs. It has been esti- mated that it costs ninety-one dollars to gen- erate from coal one horse-power for a year. A power plant that uses one thousand horse-power is not considered today to be a very large one, yet the saving in such a plant, generating its power from the Knowlton Hydraulic Air Motor, operated by the tides instead of from coal, would be ninety-one thousand dollars a year. At least from the standpoint of economy Massachusetts may be justly proud that the first plant of its kind in the world to generate light, heat and power from the sea-tides is being built within her own domain. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 163 The History and Development of the Telephone By Henry J. O’Connell, 11)22 HE telephone, as we look upon it to- day, is a highly-developed and well-organized system of com- munication touching human ac- tivity at every point. It is an es- sential factor in the social and in- dustrial life of a nation. The telephone, with its countless avenues of speech, binds together and connects cities, towns and small villages, although they are widely separated The telephone was invented by Dr. Alexan- der Graham Bell, of Salem, Massachusetts. Dr. Bell carried on most of his scientific work in his Boston laboratory, where he could obtain needed material more readily. Dr. Beil was accustomed to spend his summer vacation at Brantford, Ontario, in Canada. Here he was able to get away from the city for a few months and think out the problems that con- fronted the progress of the telephone. Dr. Beil would devise sufficient plans during the sum- mer in Canada to keep him occupied working in his experimental laboratory in Boston dur- ing the winter months. Although Salem and Brantford figure greatly in the early existence of the telephone, Boston may be called its true home as all the apparatus and important ex- periments were made there. In the summer of 1874 Alexander Graham Bell was visiting at his father's house in Brant- ford, Ontario. While here-he talked over and discussed with his father the various experi- ments he had made in Boston, relative to the production of musical sounds by electricity, for the purpose of multiple telegraphy. In such a discussion the conception of the membrane telephone was originated. Upon his return to Boston in the fall Dr. Bell did not begin to con- struct the necessary apparatus for a membrane telephone, but he worked on the problem of strengthening the required electrical control. The progress of the telephone was retarded by the thought that magnetic electricity without battery current was not sufficient to operate a telephone. Soon, however, it was discovered that magnetic electricity had sufficient sonor- ous effect, in itself, at a receiving station. Here a great obstacle was conquered and many diffi- culties in telephony disappeared. Following this discovery the membrane tele- phone that was conceived in Brantford was constructed. It was first tried in July of 1875 by Dr. Bell and his able assistant, Mr. Thomas A. Watson, in a building on Court Street in Boston. Mr. Watson entered the basement of the building while Dr. Bell remained up-stairs. After shouting for some time into their tele- phones the parties exchanged places. When Dr. Bell came up-stairs shortly afterwards Mr. Watson came rushing to him and said: “Why, Dr. Bell, I could hear your voice very distinctly and could almost understand what you said.”’ Certainly such a report was gratifying to Dr. Bell but it would have been more so could he- himself have heard Mr. Watson. As a result of the experimental test Dr. Bell began to make plans for procuring his patents on the telephone. A long delay followed be- cause of Dr. Bell’s ambitious desire to obtain a patent from every country on earth. How- ever, a patent was filed in the United States Patent Office on February 14, 1878, and granted on March 3, 1876, the later date hap- pening to be the inventor’s birthday. It is this patent that forms the basis of all claims of the now celebrated telephone system. The market of the world was now open for the entrance of the telephone. Dr. Bell began lecturing in various places about Boston on his new invention. There were two gentlemen, Mr. Hibbard and Mr. Sanders, who were the principal financiers of the telephone’s inven- tion, who desired the telephone to be exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. Dr. Bell at this time was very busy with his classes in vocal physiology, teaching those who- were to become instructors of the deaf in speech. Nevertheless, he was persuaded to go to Philadelphia and demonstrate the newly- invented telephone. A friend of the inventor’s. His Majesty Don Pedro, the Emperor of Brazil, happened to be one of the judges at the exhibition, and of course the telephonic exhi- bition was a great success. An interesting story was related by Dr. Bell in one of his Boston lectures in 1911. Dr. Bell was a teacher at Boston University during the invention of the telephone, and he had an in- teresting young Japanese in one of his classes. One day the Japanese student asked Dr. Bell if that thing (namely, the telephone) would talk Japanese. Dr. Bell assured him that it would and allowed the student to try it. The student brought two Japanese students from Harvard to the inventor’s laboratory. Then a (Continued on Page 166.) 164 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Ring of Success By Olive E. Holmes, 1922 was late in the evening, the night before graduation at Lans- ing College, and everyone was supposedly resting for the mor- row. However, in one of the dor- mitories three girls sat talk- ing together for the last time for many months, for immediately after graduation one would go out west, one far up into Canada and one across the water. It would be difficult to find anywhere three intimate friends of so different types. There was Betty, gay, irre- sponsible Betty with her bobbed black hair and sparkling black eyes. Everybody loved Betty and petted her, but no one for a moment ever took her seriously. Next to Betty sat grave quiet Ruth, who tomorrow would gradu- ate with the highest honors. With her smooth, brown hair and serious brown eyes she was in every way a direct contrast to her chum. Last, but by no means least, there was Phyllis, tail and stately, with golden hair and blue eyes; she looked the thoroughbred that she was. Phyllis was a born leader and great things were expected of her following gradua- tion. “My friends,” said Betty dramatically, “Me- thinks we are come to the parting of the ways.” “Oh, Betts, do hush up,” wailed Phyllis, “I can’t bear to think of tomorrow. Here Ruth’s going way over to China, you’re going to bury yourself in a small town out West, and I'm going up into Canada. It seems to me the joy of life’s about over.” And then Ruth, wise little Ruth spoke and her beautiful eyes shone as she said: “Ah, no, Phyl, can’t you see life is just beginning. For four years we’ve been here, happy and con- tented, with no great worries. It has been like a beautiful garden where there was sunshine and everything lovely but tomorrow night the gate will open and we’ll ride forth into the world. We’re going to find things different for there’ll be heartaches and disappoint- ments, but after all who wants to remain inside the garden when outside the whole wide world beckons.” “Ruth is quite right,” said a quiet voice from the shadows, and all three jumped. Unnoticed by them Miss Hall, one of their most loved teachers, had entered the room while Ruth had been speaking and she, too, had listened attentively. “Ruth is quite right,” she said again, “let me tell”—she stopped abruptly. Looking from one flushed eager young face to the other, her eyes filled with tears. No, she could not tell them what they would find outside the garden walls, they must find out for themselves. So she changed what she was going to say into— “Girls, you know I love you all dearly and after your graduation I don’t want you to set- tle down into a rut, but I want yrou to do some- thing with your lives.” She held up a beautiful Oriental ring of beaten gold, set with a magnificent ruby which the girls knew had been left her by a rich old uncle who had begun life as a poor boyr but who had died worth millions. They knew, too, that the ring had been given him by a wealthy Chinese merchant who had said that none but successful men had ever worn it. “I am not offering this as a reward,” she continued, “but because this is called ‘the ring of success.’ At the end of six years when we meet again for our reunion, whoever has done the most with her life will receive it. Will y'ou promise me you will all try to earn it, not for the sake of the ring, but because of what it stands for?” For a moment the girls could not speak and then as in one voice they said: “We promise.” It was six years later and the class of 18— was holding its reunion. Up in the old sorority room were sitting Miss Hall and the three girls. “Now,” said Miss Hall, as she looked from one to the other, “I can tell by your faces that a great many things have happened to yrou since we last met together and I am more than anxious to hear your stories. Ruth, you’re first.” Ruth settled herself more comfortably in her chair and began. “You know Father and Mother had lived in China many years as Father held a govern- ment position. I had looked forward with great pleasure to joining them, as the Chinese people and their customs had always interested me. When I returned Dad said to me: ‘Daughter, you always had a talent for writ- SOMERVILLE HIGH ing, why don’t you try writing about these people and who knows but what folks might like your stories back in the States?’ To make a long story short, I did try, and two years later when I came back, took my story to a publisher, who accepted it. In the spring the book was published and later I was asked to lecture at clubs and schools, until today I have engagements for months ahead and my second book is about to be published. “More than that, I am going to keep on un- til I reach the top round of the ladder of success.” She stopped and looked eagerly at her for- mer teacher, but Miss Hall only said: “Now, Phyl.” Phyl had always had a little drawl in her voice, and it seemed to her listeners more ap- parent than ever as she began. “Well, when I left college mother wished to launch me into society, of course, but I re- fused, as I really wanted to do something worth while, so I thought I’d enter settlement work. Mother was unfavorable and said that if I did such a thing, she would never permit me to come into her house after poking around in the nasty old slums. I liked my happy home too well for that so I didn’t know what I really should do. One day while walking by the suffrage headquarters the thought sud- denly passed through my mind to enter that kind of work. To make a long story short, as Ruth has said, I went in and offered my services. They happened to be in need of workers, and welcomed me gladly, and today I have charge of all the suffrage work in the central part of Canada, to say nothing of the various clubs to which I belong.” She ended with a laugh and gave Fifi, her little lap dog, a loving pat. “You see,” she said, 1 haven I been sitting idle.” Three pair of eyes were now turned toward Betty as she sat in a low chair with her two- year-old Bobby beside her and her baby daughter in her arms. “And now, Betts, they laughed, “what have you been doing1.' Betty winced at the words but went on SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 but didn’t intend to be married for several years. However, I hadn’t been out of college a month when Mother died and as I was all alone in the world Bob begged me to marry him. Thinking perhaps I could be of use to him in his work I did so and we went out to his little church in Wyoming. You see I really didn’t do anything, for the only lectures I de- liver are to little Bobby here, and the only club I belong to is composed of six farmers’ wives.” Betty ended as bravely as she had begun but the girls saw a tear creep from under her lowered lashes. They looked at her with pity and the same thought passed through both of their minds: “Poor Betty, she hadn’t had a fair chance.” Miss Hall looked from one girl to another. Across the table sat Phyllis, tall and beauti- ful as ever, one of the great suffrage leaders of the day, president of one club, secretary of another, and in every way the successful woman of the world. Her glance then wan- dered to the little lap dog Phyl patted so ten- derly, and an expression of distaste crossed her face. Beside her was Ruth, famous for her lectures on China, with one successful book published and a second about to be launched. But it seemed to her that all Ruth had talked about since she entered the room was what Ruth had been do r.g, how popular Ruth was and how many thousand copies of Ruth’s book had been soi l And then Miss Hall looked at Betty. No longer was she the gay Betty of yore, for Betty had not had an easy time. Beside her was her chubby two- year-old son, who had his mothers black hair and gay spirits. On Betty s face, as she bent over her sleeping six-months’-oid daughter, was a look which brought tears to Miss Hall’s eyes. She thought of the chinch back in the country town where Betty’s husband was working so hard; of the stories told her of the Mothers’ Club Betty had formed among the farmers’ wives, of her Girls’ Club, and how she had helped them with plays and all sorts of good times. No, in the eyes of the world, Betty was not a brilliant success, but without another word Miss Hall knelt by her side and slipped the avely. , , . “Both of you have said, to make a long ry short,’ but I can’t say it for I have no mr storv to make short.

Robie, 1923 THINK there is nothing more in- teresting and pleasant than to walk in the woods in the spring- time and enjoy the beautiful spring birds. As you walk along you will see a flash of blue and then the shriek of the blue- jay. What a happy, saucy fellow he is, scold- ing everybody, but perfectly content with him self. Another blue streak is seen, but instead of a noisv cry a sweet call of the bluebird is heard. The bluebird is one of our most beautiful birds. It has a bright blue back and wings and a red- dish orange breast. A very pleasing combina- tion of colors, is it not ? Tilting on the cat-o’-nine-tails is the small Phoebe bird, calling “Phoebe, Phoebe,” in sweet, clear tones. Overhead the modest little song sparrow in her pretty brown and white dress sings to us her most wonderful song. ’Midst these sweet, soft sounds the harsh ■“Caw, caw,” of the crow is heard as he sails in THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE TELEPHONE (Continued from Page 163.) successful reciprocal Japanese conversation was carried on. Thus in the winter of 1876 the Japanese language was the first foreign lan- guage to be spoken over the newly-invented telephone. Dr. Hell gave such an interesting lecture on telephoning to a Salem organization in 1877 that the organization asked him to repeat the lecture. On this second occasion admission was charged and this was the first money made by the telephone; this money making a silver telephone. Another interesting and early «vent also happened at this time. A Boston Globe reporter, who attended the lecture, sent his account of the proceedings over the tele- phone to his paper. So the Boston Globe was the first newspaper to receive a report by tele- phone. From this time the telephone increased in its value, until, in 1877, many miles of wire had been erected and were in constant use. As the telephone system was now on the road to glorious success, suggestions were in •order for a suitable emblem for the system. In 1886 Mr. Hibbard, the financier, realized that an emblem should be designed that would bear some resemblance and be a tribute to the name of the inventor, Alexander Graham Bell. the air, the sun shining on his glossy black back. Now is heard a “Tap, tap, tappety-tap,” and then, if you look closely, you may see the little downy woodpecker. If you are especially fortunate you may see the golden-winged blackbird with his crimson crest. Last, but not least of our spring birds is the robin redbreast. I think he is the most inter- esting of all. I love to watch him on the green grass running and listening, with his ear to the ground, for a worm. When he hears one how he will work, until finally with a long pull anu a strong pull, out Mr. Worm comes and away robin flies with food for his babies. And when his young are fed he lifts his head and tells the world to “Cheer up, cheer up.” How much enjoyment is added to the life of a city-bred person if, when walking along in a crowded, bustling city street, he can lift his head at the sound of a bird’s cheery song, and then continue on his humdrum way, perhaps encouraged for his day’s work. As a result of careful thought and considera- tion, Mr. Hibbard drew one day a rough sketch of a bell with the inscribed words “Local and Long Distance Telephone.” Mr. Hibbard designated that the bell should be colored blue and the letters white. The blue bell was the nucleus of the now much-heralded insignia of telephone service. This insignia spread rapidly over our own country and also foreign countries and is the true sign of the Bell Telephone Sys- tem. Thus the big blue bell stands for the best and most efficient communicational service the world has ever known. The telephone quickly increased in its value throughout North America and Europe. It has grown and been perfected more rapidly than any other scientific invention. The value of the telephone was tested to the limit during the World War when the portable telephone set was used on the battlefields of France and the wireless telephone carried on communication over the Atlantic Ocean. This great system has by no means reached its limit of perfection, as even automatic switch boards are yet to be placed in service. So we may consider that during our day the greatest invention for direct vocal communica- tion is in successful operation. We realize that many an emergency and many a conflagration has been averted by the quick, efficient service rendered by the telephone. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1G7 “SB” MAN’S CLUB N Monday, March 20, during an as sembly period, a new organization of the Somerville High School was formed. This organization, which is composed of athletes who have won their letter “S” in any branch of athletics, is called “The Somerville High School ‘S’ Man’s Club.” The purpose of this club is to promote in- terest in all forms of athletics in the school, to eliminate clique spirit among the athletes, anti to co-operate more closely with the S. H. S. Athletic Association, and those of neighboring schools. There is much work to be done and this club will soon become a powerful factor in school affairs, rivaling even our excellent or- ganization, the Students’ Council. The “S” Man’s Club was organized by Robert McPhail and Frank Crandell, who together con- ceived the idea of forming such a club in Som- erville High School upon reading of a similar organization in a California High School. The plan was brought to their attention by the editor of The Radiator, who showed them an article and accompanying pictures in an ex- change of The Radiator, The Nautilus, Santa Monica High School, Cal., and suggested that they adopt the plan in the Somerville High School. At a meeting held on Friday, March 24, the following officers were elected: Robert McPhail, president; Frank Crandell, vice-president. Lin- coln Higgins, secretary; Herbert Dresser, treas- urer; Robert Buckley, sergeant-at-arms. The “S” Man’s or Letter Man’s Club, as it is sometimes called, has the backing of Head- master Avery, the entire faculty and all of the powerful organizations in the school. Espec- ially will it work in close co-operation with the S. II. S. Athletic Association in raising “sports” to a higher standard of excellence. Formerly one member of the Athletic Association was picked from the student body, but hereafter a senior member of the “S” Man’s Club will be ap- pointed to this important position. Pins to signify membership in the “S” Man’s Club have been already ordered, and on Mon- day, April 3, a group picture of the Club was taken at the Champlain Studios for the Radia- tor Year Book. It is clearly seen that the newly-formed “S” Man’s Club is to be an invaluable organization of the Somerville High School, and will cer- tainly receive hearty support from The Radia- tor and other important functions of the school while it is in its infancy and afterward. LHU1ARY DEPARTMENT Reading is perhaps a pastime that is enjoyed by almost everyone. Classics may be the fav- orite readings of some, histories and magazine articles may be more interesting to others. A novel that is just the least bit thrilling and ro- mantic is liked by everyone. Some interesting novels, written by some of our modern authors, are the following:— “The Doom Trail,” by Arthur I). Howden Smith, is an exceedingly good story of the struggle of the English and French for the con- trol of the Indian fur trade in North America. The story takes place during the first part of the eighteenth century. The French make secret war preparations against the English be- cause of their cruel methods. The hero is a young Englishman who leaves his own country because he has been branded as a rebel, and with the assistance of an Indian chief and a frontiersman lays bare the plans of the French. For one who likes a somewhat romantic story the novel, “Saint Teresa,” by Henry Harrison, would be interesting. It has for its heroine a girl who is widely known as a “woman who hates love.” She is a daughter of a wealthy family of New York, having no regard for pub- lic opinion. She secures a controlling interest in a huge steel company. The manager of her office resents her arrogance and aloof manner. His indifference and his insistence in having his own way when he knows that way to be right, awaken her interest. The story is interesting because of the clever way it is written. Other interesting books of fiction are “Doors of the Night,” by Frank L.

Where your friends all seek to borrow And say they’ll pay you on the morrow, And never do; much to your sorrow. George Novack OUR S. H. S. There are many kinds of students, Some are good, and some are bad; But the students of the S. H. S. Are the best it’s ever had. There are many kinds of debaters, Some have talent, some have wit, But the girls in our debating club Have ability and grit. There are many kinds of football teams, Some are heavy, some are light, But the Football team of the Red and Blue Is the one that has the fight. There are many kinds of school-books, Some are clever, some are “dry,” But you cannot beat the Year Book That’s published at Somerville High. There are many kinds of high schools, Some are large and some are small, But the good old Somerville High School Is the one that beats them all. Rosabel Fardy, 1922. THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE HOUSE Oh! it’s great to have a room at the top of the house! To see the sun-lit sky; To watch the billowing clouds on the firma- ment so high. Oh! it’s best to live in the room nearest the roof, For there on a rainy night You can hear the raindrops hum their tunes, Like birds in the morning bright. To have a skylight on the roof surrounded with shingles brown, Is better to me than a kingdom would be—a castle and a crown. The shingles are my battlements, The skylight my look-out tower; And the great green leaves of the lotus trees Are courtiers to this bower. Kendall B.

Smile” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 171 Student Council Activities The Students’ Council this month has been the recipient of many flattering comments from visitors. Members of the Everett High School student body visited the school and commented on the speed and silence of the filing between periods. They congratulated the Council be- cause of its successful application of the Filing Plan. A member of the Lowell High School faculty also remarked on the excellence of the filing and of the general morals of the school. On asking how such excellent results were ob- tained she was referred to one of the Council, who explained the functions of the Council to her. In both these schools a proctor system similar to ours is soon to be established. These compliments were meant for every student, for the Council could not have done these things without your co-operation and help. Back up your own representative body! The first month’s operation of the Lost and Found Bureau has proved that it has become of great help to the students. Don’t forget to return articles found as soon as possible, but they can only be claimed on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1.45 to 2.15. So that its representatives might see the Council at work in executive session and learn more concerning the business of the Council, a regular meeting, which was open to all proc- tors, was held. A committee of three has been appointed to make plans for a drive asking pu- pils to deposit their funds in the School Bank. There are only one half as many pupils deposit- ing in the bank this year as compared to the corresponding period of time last year. The School Bank is operated for the convenience of the pupils. Deposit in it! In order to facilitate discussion and to fur- nish more business for the Council, a Ways and Means committee has been appointed. All pu- pils are invited to offer suggestions for the bet- terment of the school to this committee, which consists of Messrs. Novack and Thompson and Miss Haskell. A committee is still discussing the question of better attendance. At present the best plan suggested is to have competition between the separate home-rooms. The room having the least percentage of absent pupils will receive a suitable prize. Other schools have asked for information concerning student government through the Radiator, and the Editor has explained our Students’ Council. Support your Students’ Council! ! ! NOTES OF THE ALUMNI (Continued from Page 168.) 1915 Charles Dickerman is a wool broker. Charles Riley is with the Forte Moran Com- pany. John W. Prower is manager of the Waldorf Summer-street restaurant. Charles Wiley is of the firm of Bent Wiley, wool dealers. 1914 The engagement of Adaline E. Albright, of Tyrone, Pa., to Paul T. Budgell, S. H. S., ’14, has been announced. 1913 Gladys Mackay is a concert singer of note. She assisted our High School Orchestra in its recent concert. 1901 Mrs. E. F. Charter (Jeanette Pearson) and Mrs. W. C. Pherrou (Ina Thomas) are now liv- ing in Wyoming. Helen True is living in California. Many S. H. S. Alumnae took part in the Rad- cliffe Endowment Fund entertainment held in the High School Hall on March 29. 172 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A meeting of the newly-formed “S” Man’s Club was held on Thursday, March 30, and the following officers were elected: Robert McPhail, president; Frank Crandell, vice-president; Lin- coln Higgins, secretary; Herbert Dresser, treasurer, and Robert Buckley, sergeant-at- arms. A committee was appointed to draw up a con- stitution for the organization. Arrangements were made with Wilbur Stanley, editor of the Radiator, to have a group picture taken of the Club for the Year Book, at the Champlain Studios. Following the transaction of important busi- ness the meeting was brought to a close by President McPhail. TRACK In the rush of other matters the track has been neglected, but now it will soon be in full swing. Blackman, Ryan and Fraser show lots of spirit, so will be prominent as dash men. Crandell, as high jumper and hurdler, still re- tains his good form. BASEBALL Baseball practice is now in full swing and Coach “Dutch” Ayers feels confident of a cham- pionship team. Captain “Hick” Crandell, “Lefty” Wickerson, “Bob” Buckley and many other veterans have been having indoor practice since March 15. On March 22 outdoor practice at George Dil- boy Field began, and about 100 fellows began training. After careful elimination the squad was reduced to fifty. If Dutch Ayer’s plans are carried out he expects to have two nines as he has fine material to draw from. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 173 Blue Owl, Attleboro, Mass.—A well-written paper with excellent jokes. School Life, Melrose, Mass.—As usual we are very glad to welcome you. A few cuts would add to your paper. Your “Personals” are in- deed clever. Semaphore, Stoughton, Mass.—Your literary department is good and your athletic notes are great. You must pay considerable attention to athletics. Review, Newton, Mass.—The more you come the better we like it. As usual you have a well- written paper full of “pep” and interest. Salemica, New Salem, Mass.-—Your paper is very poorly arranged. There is room for im- provement in your jokes. Red and Gray, Lynn, Mass.—Your literary- department is a wonder and the editorial on “Our Attitude Toward Freshmen” is to be com- mended. You certainly “hit the nail squarely on the head” and we agree with you. Come again. Brocktonia, Brockton, Mass.—An excellent paper with fine jokes. Red and Black, Claremont, N. H.—Your edi- torials are fine. We were especially interested in the editorial on the “S” Club and the Somer- ville High School athletes are about to form one. Banner, Rockville, Conn.—Your jokes are line and so are your athletic notes. What’s the matter with your Alumni? Gale, Revere High School—Your paper is im- proving. It shows a great improvement over your first numbers this year. Why, oh, why, do you continue that department “Moon- beams”? It certainly adds absolutely nothing to the paper. Grotonian, Groton School—Your stories are extremely interesting, but you need a few cuts to add to the attractiveness of your paper. Banner, Rockville High School—Your edi- torials are great, but your stories lack plot. Why not have some cartoons? Authentic, Stoneham High School—Con- gratulations. Yours is an excellent paper. Your stories are fine but we suggest you enlarge your exchange department. Semaphore, Stoughton High School—Your department “Slams” is very clever and also your jokes. Your stories could be improved. School Life, Melrose High School—We are al- ways glad to welcome you to our column and find your last number very interesting. Why not have class notes ? Rindge Register, Rindge Technical School— Your cartoons are more than clever and your athletic notes are fine, but oh, your jokes. A few stories would greatly improve your paper. 174 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORS’ NOTICE—Owing to the inability of the class editors to obtain School Notes the column has been discontinued. 1922 Charles G.

Short-stop.” “How many Seniors are out for the Baseball team?” ! ! ! ! ! “Come on, Seniors, back up your team.” There’s something that we all remember, There’s something that we all forget. But don’t forget to remember And remember not to forget. Teacher: “Can you name the belt north of the equator?” Pupil: “Can’t sir” (cancer). Teacher: “Correct.” Senior: “I have a great ear for music.” “24”: “That’s nothing, I was born with drums in mine.” “I had an awful time with Amos last night.” “Amos who?” “A mosquito.” STUDENT PHILOSOPHY. “Sedentary work,” said the college lecturer, “tends to lessen the endurance.” “In other words,” interrupted a pupil, “the more one sits the less one can stand.” “Exactly,” retorted the lecturer, “and if one lies a great deal one’s standing is lost com- pletely.” SPEAKING FIGURATIVELY. 2 lovers sat beneath the shade, And 1 un 2 the other said: “How 14-8 that you be-9 Have smiled upon this suit of mine If 5-a heart, it palpit 8’s 4 you, Thy voice is mu-6 melody It’s 7-2 be thy beloved 1-2, So 0-y nymph, will you marry me?” Then lisped she softly: “Why 13-ly.” TOOT! TOOT! A tutor who tooted the flute Tried to teach two young footers to toot. Said the two to the tutor, “Is it harder to toot, or To teach two footers to toot?” “I don’t see why you call your place a bunga- low.” “Well, if it isn’t a bungalow, what is it? The job was a bungle and I still owe for it!” SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT. “Bobbie,” said his mother, “when you di- vided those five caramels with your sister, did you give her three?” “No, mother, I thought they wouldn’t come out even so I ate one before I began to divide.” DISTINCTION. Professor: “What! Forgotten your pencil again, Jones? What would you think of a sol- dier who was without a gun?” “I’d think he was an officer.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 175 1923 John Holmes, Editor Stanley Teele, Assistant Editor The Junior: “I sent you some suggestions on how to make the Radiator more interesting. Have you carried out any of my ideas?” Editor: “Did you meet the janitor with the waste-basket as you came in ?” Junior: “Yes, I did.” Editor: “Well, he was carrying out your ideas.” The School gets the benefit, The Students get the fame, The Printer gets the money, But the Staff—they get the blame. “Tell me, what do you sell ?” “Brains are my specialty.” “Why don’t you carry a sample?” Said the Soph, to the Fresh. John (gallantly): “Elizabeth, dear, anything that you say, goes.” Lizzie (quickly): “John!” AUTO WARNING. Sign seen on boulevard: “Autos will please slow down to a walk.” He: “I spent a lot of money at Kelly Pool this winter.” She: “Did you like it as well as Hot Springs?” Doctor (to his patient) : “It’s nothing to worry about—just a little boil on the back of the neck. But you must keep your eye on it.” Little Tommy had a hobby At the tender age of four, And his hobby was a horsey Which he rode upon the floor. Tommy later came to high school, Still his hobby was a horse. This he used to great advantage Trotting through his Latin course. —Ex. “Why did you put on your hat?” she asked. He whistled softly “Chili Bean.” Knox was told to draw an arc on the board and he drew a triangle. He must have been thinking of Noah’s ark, as the teacher re- marked. Sing a song of HC1, Of test tubes full of zinc, Of KoS and cyanide a And water in the sink Of the valence for permanganate With a molecule of tin, The symbol for magnesium With some sodium sulphate in. —J. A. H., ’23. “Why do you call the salesman ‘Future’?” “Because he’s all ‘Buy and Buy’!” Clerk: “So you wish to open a joint account with your husband. Current or drawing?” She: “Oh, deposit for him—drawing for me.” 176 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Following is an extract taken from a Radia- tor of several years ago which still holds true:— “THE RADIATOR” When you are cross and feeling blue And really don’t know what to do. Read the Radiator. In time of pleasure and of joy, Find happiness without alloy In the Radiator. You cannot find a better way To spend your money than to pay For a Radiator. When you are glad and feeling fine, Just sit right down and read a line Of the Radiator. Then let me say to every one To big and small, to old and young, Buy the Radiator. In time of trouble and of grief, Be sure to seek for some relief From the Radiator. Now as a parting word to you, Though your spare minutes may be few. Read the Radiator. 1924 Lillian Kingston, Editor Mabel Everett, Assistant Editor Teacher: “Can anyone tell me some place that was settled, like Georgia, by convicts?” Pupil: “Yes, Deer Island.” If you want to get ahead, just learn to use the one you have. As the Sunday School teacher entered she saw a little girl and her brother leaving in haste. “Why, Mary, you aren’t going home?” “Pleathe, Miss Anna, we’ve got to go,” was the distressed answer, “Jimmy thwallowed hith collection.” The Man: “What is your average income?” The College Man: “Between twelve and one o’clock.” Chemical Teacher (discussing the origin of iron ore): “Harold, can you tell me how they first discovered iron?” Harold (hearing a whisper from the back of the room): “Er—I think they smelt it.” “Is that cement any good?” asked a prospec- tive purchaser of a pedler. “Any good?” was the reply, “Why, you could mend the break of day with that cement.” What is worse to find in an apple than a worm? A half-worm. The Lady on the Car: “Which end of the car do I get off?” The Conductor: “Makes no difference, both ends stop.” NOT WORTH MENTIONING. Pupil (to teacher): “I am indebted to you for all that I know.” Teacher: “Don’t mention it; it’s a mere trifle.” “I hear that they don’t send any mail to Washington now.” “Why is that?” “Oh, I suppose it’s because he’s dead.’” J.

Pittsburgh Building, Troy. N. Y. Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Safety SCIENCE has shown folks some mighty unpleasant statistics about the relationship of dirty milk to infant mortality. Epidemics of Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Septic Sore Throat, Diphtheria and Tuberculo- sis of constant recurrence have been traced to milk. Public Health and Government officials are almost unanimous in their findings that the only safe milk is milk that has been Perfectly Pasteurized. Pasteurized Milk is milk that has been heated to a temperature of one hundred and forty-five degrees — H. P. HOOD SONS DAIRY EXPERTS held for thirty minutes at this tem- perature—cooled quickly to fifty degrees or less, and kept cold. The entire organization of H. P. Hood Sons recognizes its respon- sibilities for all the Hood’s Milk it distributes. Hood’s Milk is Perfectly Pasteurized—it is safe. In seventy-five years—three quarters of a century—of continuous service not a case of disease has been traced to Hood’s Milk. A record without equal.

I’ve got to pick out a more expen- sive one for my husband to refuse to buy so I can compromise on this one.” A certain Rev. Jordan was worried about hi.; son’s examinations in college and told him to wire when he had the results. A few days latet he received this message:— “Hymn 252, third verse, last line.” Upon looking this up he found the follow ing:— “Care banished, sorrow vanquished, Jordan passed.” THREE ROUSING SQUAWKS. “Yes, I graduated from an automobile school.” “What is your class honk?” “They’ve got strawberries, cherries, apples and all kinds of fruit covered with candy. What kind shall I get?” “Get a chocolate-covered watermelon.” “Is this your magazine?” ‘ No, it’s Everybody’s.” An old lady who had been reading the health officer’s weekly reports thought that “Total” must be an awfully malignant disease since as many die of it as all the rest put together.

We deck their graves with flowers and flags and tell of their deeds of valor. The object for which they gave their lives has been attained and ser- vice is its own reward. They fought for an ideal, led on by the spirit of their forefathers. The Civil War resulted in the freeing of millions of fellow men. In the World War our heroes crossed the sea to help crush the evil power that threatened the free- dom of the world. All honor to them, and to those who with un- daunted courage were willing to make the su- preme sacrifice if called upon. Mr. Houghton, our ambassador to Germany, says: “First and foremost I do not be- lieve in the spiritual or even economic value of hate. It serves no useful purpose and leads only to destruction.” It is therefore our duty to now put behind us the memories of old grievances and prejudices, and in mutual friendship put the world on its feet again. It is the task of the illustrious class of ’22 to make the short remainder of the school year and of their high school career a succession of successes. Senior Night, Class Day and Gradu- ation are very near; and if every member of the largest and best class that the Somerville High School has ever had, will do his best, these events will be carried off in a style long to be remembered. The co-operation of the under- graduates is requested and expected, and if every Junior and Sophomore lends his efforts there will be no doubt as to the outcome of these occasions. Remember, underclassmen, that your turn is coming. Following the issuing of the third quarter’s report cards the final Senior elections were held which resulted as follows:— Robert McPhail Class Orator Marie P. Kenney Class Prophetess Raymond Wallace Class Prophet Marjorie Parker Historian Clinton Miner Historian Following are the dates for the Senior events: Class Day, Monday, June 12; Senior Night, Tuesday, June 13, and Graduation, Thursday, June 15.

S., ’07; M. I. T.,’i I On being graduated from the High Schorl in 1907 Mr. Babbitt entered M. I. T. In 1911 he completed the course in sanitary engi- neering and at once entered upon a position in the sanitary district of Chicago at the Sew- age Testing Station at Thirty-ninth Street and Lake Michigan. At the end of two years he wa appointed assistant engineer for the Ohio Statu Board of Health, its headquarters at Columbus, Ohio. In 1913 the University of Illinois offered Mr. Babbitt a position as instructor in the De- partment of Municipal and Sanitary Engineer- ing, which he accepted. He has remained with the college ever since, and has held for the last three years the rank of assistant professor. During the World War Mr. Babbitt entered the first officers’ training camp at Fort Sheri- dan, Illinois, and received a commission as cap- tain of engineers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Called overseas his duties in France were with the section engineers’ office, building hospital barracks, gas stations, etc., immediately back of the lines. He returned home in 1919 and re- sumed his duties at the University. Besides his work of teaching Mr. Babbitt finds time for engineering design work on struc- tures outside the college. His book, “Sewage and Sewage Treatment,” recently published by John Wiiey Sons, is in use as a textbook in the University. Mr. Babbitt is a member of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, the American Water Works Association, the Illinois Society of Engineers, and an associate member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Mr. Babbitt is remembered in the High School as a student of unusual ability and indefatig- able energy. He captained one of the finest and strongest debating teams the school has had. He early developed marked leadership and exerted decided influence always for the right. In 1915 Mr. Babbitt married Miss Helen H. Tainter, of 46 Chester Street, West Somerville. Miss Tainter had been his classmate in high school. We congratulate the Baseball squad for their fine playing this season. Keep it up and reach the top of the league! Also we notice with pleasure that the games are well attended by the students. However, there is a chance for im- provement in the attendance of games not played on the home grounds. There is nothing so gratifying to a player on a strange diamond as to glance into the stands and see and hear his schoolmates cheering him on to victory. Wake up everybody and give your baseball nine the support that it needs! All students are again reminded that no Year Books will be for sale on its publication. If you have not yet subscribed you may be able to do so by applying at once to the Business Manager. The number of copies has been limited to 1,500 and, as it is to be an exceptionally fine book, the demand will be great.

The side of a shabby build- ing slid up, revealing a wide en- trance through which the car glided by its own momentum. The wall dropped back again and in the early morning air was bleak as before. Outside in the dim gloom the silence was broken once more and a dim motorcycle rushed around the corner, its exhaust vomiting a blue flame and a staccato roar. Its rider was a blue- coated custodian of the law. The machine came to a stop and one of its spotlights flashed spasmodically here and there. After a brief inspection its rider swung down with an angry expletive and slowly pro- ceeded to examine the street more closely, even going so far as to enter one or two of the num- erous alleys. As he slowly emerged from one of these, he saw a black figure leave the side of his machine and run swiftly away in the dark- ness. He realized that pursuit was useless, and, hurrying to the side of his “twin,” he found a neatly-folded note pushed between the frame and the oil tank. He opened it eagerly and read:— “ Lieutenant Jackson, “Traffic Squad, Division 4, “ Newark Police, Newark. New Jersey. “Sir:—It grieves me deeply to have to win against such a sport and gentleman as you. But now as in the past, it was either someone else or myself, and as yet I haven’t found any- one I liked as well as myself. Better luck next time,—maybe. “Yours, in haste, “Speed King.” Jackson read this by his spotlight and straightening slowiy he crushed the note in his hand and muttered something inaudibly. At the nearest station he learned that the desk sergeant had just received a call from the Speed King, who, as usual, had taunted them. He had said that it had been his closest call, and if he had been obliged to go five feet more he would have been caught, as he was all out of gas, but a miss was as good as a mile, so he wasn’t worrying. Also it had been a New Jer- sey officer who had nearly done the trick. lie ended his telephone communication, and with peals of laughter had shut off. Didn’t the Sergeant know it wasn’t a New York officer who had nearly done the trick? The nearest his men had come to catching the Speed King was to catch a fleeting glimpse of the big car going by. The next morning the Times came out with an “extra,” and announced in glaring head- lines: “Speed King Pays Another Visit.” Beneath this a long column told of the theft of the famous Rockwell diamond. Other jewelry, bonds and cash made up the remainder of the loot taken from a small wall safe while a small house party was being held at Rockwell Castle, Grey Valley, New Jersey. This was fol- lowed by a summary of the Speed King’s esca- pades, his methods and a vague personal de- scription. By adding $5,000, Vincent Rockwell had raised the standing reward to $10,000. Lieutenant Jackson went back to Newark with a heavy heart and a resolve to “get” the Speed King. On his arrival home he applied for an indefinite leave of absence. This was granted readily when his purpose became known and he immediately retraced his steps to Merchant Street on the East Side of New York. A month later Jackson received orders to re- port home or be automatically dropped from the force, and he was now driving slowly along the state road toward home, slouching deject- edly in the saddle, careless of stones or sand drifts that sometimes were in his path on the side of the road. While running along in this manner he nar- rowly escaped smashing into a dark object in the road, and turned out sharply to avoid a crash. It proved to be a big car of exquisite racing lines and design, and, as he stopped, its occu- pant jumped down and asked:— “I say, old top, can you possibly get my mo- tavvh running once again ? It won’t run for love nor money, haw, haw, beastly things, cawhs, what?” The first thing that entered Jackson’s mind was the thought of the Speed King, but at the first glance his suspicions were dispelled. This new acquaintance was decidedly English. He wore a monacle and spoke with an accent that was not to be mistaken. “Sure thing,” Jackson answered. “Glad to be of service,” and he walked over to the car. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 189 The trouble proved to be a minor one, but, as he fixed it, his eyes roamed over the car. It was a Mercedes!—same model!—same de- sign!—Disteel wheels!— and in the moonlight it was a deep purple! The Speed King’s! Suddenly Jackson straightened, his hand flashed to his hip. “Don’t do it, please,” the Englishman urged, leaning intently forward. But now he was different, he had dropped his disguise, his voice was purring, with no sign of accent or irrita- tion, and in his hand lay a blunt-nosed auto- matic, its nozzle in line with Jackson’s forehead. “My card,” he said. Jackson took the proffered card and read the words in neat, black print, “Speed King.” Queer though it was, Jackson could not keep a grin off his face, and the Speed King smiled in return. Evidently neither bore malice for the other. It was more like a game in which the Speed King had won the first point instead of the usual procedure in hunting down a crimi- nal, with the hunter using fair means or other- wise. “You should get out of the habit of talking out loud,” the Speed King continued. He paused and then finished. “Well, it can’t be helped, now, only you shouldn’t have given me such a vivid description of the car.” With this he went over to the motorcycle and pushed it over the embankment on the side of the road, where it slid to the edge of a field, thirty feet below. Still covering Jackson care- fully he started his car and speeded off amid a rain of shots from Jackson's gun. Jackson lost no time in getting his “twin” back on the road again. He started after the purple car with a vigor that was to decide the Speed King’s fate. The first fifteen miles were about even, each averaging sixty-five miles an hour. After that Jackson saw that the Speed King was having trouble, for more than once the big car slowed almost imperceptibly, only to pick up again and run on as before. They were now racing along the Falisades, away past New York, and Jackson was gaining on every turn. Yonkers flashed by on the opposite side of the river and was gone. Nyack was reached eighteen miles farther on. Here the Speed King turned northwest from the river road and headed toward Clinton Wood, two miles above Nyack. Jackson had diminished the gap from a mile and a half to less than a quarter of a mile in the last twenty miles, and now as they turned in Clinton Wood he was smiling through clenched teeth as he was bucked this way and that on the worn-out wood road. Ahead the Speed King was frantically pump- ing gasoline to a faulty carburetor by a small vacuum system on the dash. Now and then he jerked his head around and always turned front again with his face a little more drawn and his lips a bit tighter. Suddenly as he turned back for another hasty glance there was a crash and his powerful headlight went out, and at the same time his motor stopped, leaving him in Stygian darkness, with no sound but the faint “put-put” of his pursuer and the indistinct sounds of the woods. Quickly he stepped out of the cpr and snatch- ing a belt and holstered gun from beneath the tonneau he plunged into the darkness. Three minutes later Jackson came up to the wrecked Mercedes, and as soon as his spotlights caught the racer they went out and the machine turned over on its side even before the engine had stopped. He had expected a fusillade of shots from somewhere in the direction of the car, and as he lay on the damp ground, strain- ing every sense to catch some movement of the Speed King, he heard a hearty laugh, and: “Come on, Jackson, I’ve got one trick up my sleeve that will save me, watch your step.” Jackson made no movement for some minutes afterward. Then, with his eves glued on the spot from which the Speed King’s voice had seemed to come, he slowly wormed his way over the uneven ground towards it. He did not know how far he had gone or whether or not he was going in the right direc- tion. Deciding to find out he felt for a stick and after finding one he threw it to one side. He waited impatiently as nothing happened and then he threw another. This time his ruse worked and two shots landed very, very near the stick, almost as it landed. Some minutes afterward Jackson again re- sumed his progress and again his strategy suc- ceeded. He immediately fired in response to the other’s flashes. This last betrayed his own po- sition and now it was a duel which could only end in the downfall of one or the other. Without warning the Speed King opened fire and Jackson was covered with flying chips as he leaped from behind his tree and scrambled be- hind an adjacent trunk. He began firing again, snapping his shots so that it was possible to get in a shot less than a second after the Speed King had fired. Each man knew that his opponent was no mean antagonist, and that one was as proficient as the other in the knack of using his weapons. Each was fearless, with cold steel nerves.

MacLeod, 1923 fOU must either pay me the entire sum Monday morning, before twelve o’clock, or I shall be com- pelled to take over ‘The Willows.’ ” But I tell you that it is abso- lutely impossible in so short a time, give me at least a couple of weeks and I shall be able to raise the money. So short a time would not mean very much to you, I should think.” “Thirty-eight thousand Monday or I fore- close,” snapped the former speaker, old Robert DeWitt, with an angry gesture, “I must have the money at once and if you can’t have it at the appointed time that does not concern me in the least.” With that he stopped, and with an evil leer upon his withered countenance he clamped his battered hat down over his grey locks and slowly hobbled from the room, leav- ing a very angry and perplexed young man be- hind him. Some years before a southern gentleman, named Charles Jackson, who was the hated en- emy of old DeWitt, had been obliged to place a heavy mortgage upon his estate, “The Wil- lows.” Since then he had died, leaving this en- cumbrance on the property, which descended to his son Daniel. Robert DeWitt, who was a wealthy landowner, had taken over the mort- gage from the original holder to gratify his hatred, knowing that the boy could not raise the money on short notice but would necessarily have to sacrifice the old family estate. “It’s evident the old miser knows that he’s got me now,” bitterly reflected young Dan as old DeWitt disappeared down the road. “I sup- pose Rob Roy may have some chance of taking the ‘Blue Grass’ 2.12 pace Saturday, although it is said Jenning’s Black Knight shows great speed; at any rate it’s my only chance now.” As Saturday afternoon is bright and clear a good crowd has assembled at the old kite- shaped track of Terre Haute, where the pacers are out for the fourth heat of the “Blue Grass” pace. The luck of the afternoon has been some- what varied, each horse having already won one heat, much to the surprise of the crowd who have heavily backed the Black Knight 2.11, that won the second heat in 2.13 4. Dan Jack- son’s Rob Roy, quoted at the betting stands at 5 to 1, secured the first in 2.16%, while an un- known new horse, Sage King 2.12 4, entered by old Robert DeWitt, ran away to a new mark of 2.10 in the third. Now the starter’s gong rings and the horses trip lightly down to the wire for a fine start, the starter sharply cries “Go,” the horses spring eagerly forward and the race is on. Immedi- ately the polehorse, DeWitt’s Sage King, with a fine burst of speed literally runs away from the other two until he has gained about five lengths, when he slows up perceptibly but not enough to lessen his lead on the others that follow, traveling almost neck and neck. At the quarter mark Dan passes the Black Knight, that has lost ground through breaking, and Rob Roy opening up his gait slowly increases this lead, but at the half mile is still about five lengths behind DeWitt’s big chestnut, that travels with an easy open stride, holding his po- sition with apparent ease. Nevertheless before rounding the turn at the three-quarter pole Dan had cut the lead to three lengths. He cut it down another on the curve, but was rapidly being overtaken by the Black Knight that was less than half a length behind. Now comes the supreme effort. The three fine animals forge ahead, Rob Roy slowly yet steadily gains on the leader although he himself has been passed by the Black Knight. The air is tense with excite- ment. The dull hard pound of the horses’ hoof- beats and wild shouts of encouragement from the crowd fill the air. The driver of the Knight, which was traveling neck and neck with De- Witt’s horse, shows poor judgment, cruelly whipping his horse, already doing his best, caus- ing him to break into a gallop and fall into the rear, while Sage King and Rob Roy dart under the wire, De Witt’s horse about one length ahead. A few minutes later Dan left the stabies and gloomily strode away toward the main gate after turning over his horse to old “Mose,” who for many years had been in the service of the Jacksons. The hateful memory of DeWitt’s sneering face regarding him from the grand- stand, as he trotted back to the stables after the last heat, lingered in his mind. He bitterly thought of the five thousand dollars he had bet on his horse and of the three thousand dollar purse of first money lost to him; and as he passed through the gate, as if to taunt him further, the last words he heard were: “Result of the ‘Blue Grass’ 2.12 pace: Sage King heat and race.” Through the silent semi-darkness of the early evening a young man passes inward through the main gate and slowly plods toward the rac- ing stables. As he passes the betting booths, which he had thought were closed, he is some- what startled and surprised to see a man step out and call him over. Continued on Page 191. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE SPEED KING Continued from Page 189 tally and physically they were nearly equal. Each knew that their little drama would be to a finish obtained through a battle of wits. When Jackson had emptied his gun he quickly re-loaded and leaped forward under the other’s fire, obtaining a position less than six feet away from the Speed King. He then called upon his adversary to surrender:— “Better give in, Speed King. I’m going to get you sooner or later.” “Not alive,” came the response. Then noth- ing but the silence. Jackson had expected something like that. Everlasting defiance. “Not alive.” This last thought brought a grimace over his features. During this relapse of action the Speed King was trying to bandage a shattered wrist, now and then stopping to wipe the dripping mois- ture from his face, or to rest. Once he stopped all motion, a ghastly pallor overswept his coun- tenance, his jaw dropped and his eyes were staring. Was it realization? “Not alive!” A grim smile came back to his face and once more he collected his shattered nerves. Clum- sily he re-arranged his crude bandage. Why, he wondered, should he lose his nerve over an insignificant bullet hole. He had had them be- fore, and worse ones. Then, “Not alive.” Jackson had re-opened his firing and now the Speed King used his trick, as before. Sitting on a stout limb with his back towards the officer he swung over backward. In this position he was facing the officer. His gun in this posi- tion would be about level with a man’s shoulder, and thus he could easily deceive the other, who would invariably shoot a little lower, hoping to hit his target’s body. On the Speed King’s last shot his gun jammed, and in throwing it aside, he lost his hold on the limb. He came down with a thud and a stifled groan, but was immediately up again, and run- ning like a trained sprinter, he crashed away in the darkness. DE WITT’S STRATEGY Continued from Page 190 “ Good evening, Mr. Jackson, I suppose you have come to cash in ?” said the voice. “ You may think it a joke, but as far as I am concerned I see no call for rubbing in my failure of this afternoon,” angrily retorted Dan as he approached the other. “ Joking, my word, you don’t mean to say that in all this time you haven’t found out that old DeWitt’s horse was disqualified and that you have won the race. Luckily for you a couple 191 Jackson was after him at once, following only by the noise of the other’s flight. Stinging twigs and branches slashed at the two in their flight. They stumbled over hidden objects, and once Jackson measured his length in the soggy mud of a woodland bog. After this mishap Jackson no longer heard any noise of the Speed King's progress and as he stood listening he heard a muffled cry off to his left and once more he started forward with every ounce of his breathless energy. He knew not how long or how far he had run before his body was abruptly stopped, and he turned over in the air, landing on his head. Then all went black. Jackson’s silent form lay on the bleak ledge of a high cliff. His fingers twitched, the move- ment was followed by a flicker of his eye-lids, and a groan escaped his parched lips. He sat up. In surprise he took stock of his surroundings. His memory worked quickly in spite of the fearful ache in his head. He at- tempted to get up and walk to the edge of the cliff, but he was too dizzy, so he crawled on his hands and knees instead and looked over into the abyss below. He looked for a long time, al- ternately gazing into the valley below and lay- ing his head on his arms for rest. After a time Jackson again resumed his in- tent gazing. Suddenly he strained forward, his breath came in a quick gasp of “Oh!” What he saw was a beautiful valley. Dwarf maples mingled with giant pines. A bright brook splashed over grey rocks, and beneath the branches of the tallest pine lay the Speed King. His face was upturned to the sky, and defiance was still written on the white features. Broken branches and the many twigs that were scattered nearby bore mute testimony of how he had hurtled through the foliage of the old pine. In Jackson’s eyes was a look of one who is living through overwhelming sorrow, there were tears coursing down his cheeks, and as his head sagged down on his arms, he uncon- sciously breathed: “Not alive.” The game had ended. of horsemen from the East showed up De Witt’s little game, making you the winner.” “I don’t see how that can be, for anyone could see this afternoon that Sage King fairly and squarely won the race. I hate old DeWitt bad enough, my friend, but I have sporting blood enough to see fair play and to take defeat with- out kicking about it.” “ Quite so, if Sage King was your opponent, old man,—but even you could hardly expect that your colt would be able to defeat the speedy Captain Todd 2.0114.” 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Tangerine By Anne M. Sloane, 1924 |HE Fairdon family was seated around the family table in solemn coun- cil. They had gathered about the council-table to discuss an appar- ently dismal future, for the family fortune had rapidly diminished to compara- tively nothing. Dad Fairdon presided. He was a portly happy-go-lucky sort of man such as may be seen speedily wending his way, at 8.15 each morn, towards an interurban car similar to the Toon- erville Trolley. Mother was most charming, her outstanding features being keenly alert, lustrous brown eyes and a remarkably fine abundance of snowy white hair. Brother Bob, idolized and merited by each member of the family circle in turn, was, though to their uncritical eyes deemed a most energetic young business man (incidentally minus the business), considered by outsiders an irresponsible, willy-nilly chap with abso- lutely no sense of propriety. Helen Fairdon had been deprived the realization of her chosen and ardently beloved art, landscape gardening, the daydream of a deserving young woman, in order that Bob might be prepared to enter West Point. Nell was quite the opposite of her shift- less brother, being exceedingly ambitious. The discussion as to plans for the future up- keep of the home was working to a lively climax. “ The most practical idea would be to move into town where Nell may obtain a position and Dad reappear from his retirement,” confided Bob. “A most probable course, my son, but speak- ing with all due consideration what do you in- tend to occupy your time with?” ejaculated Dad. “Well, a little of this, and some of that,” re- sponded the egotist. —“ And not much of anything,” chimed Nell, “ but Daddie, dear, do tell me exactly what our funds are at the present time.” “ I have in ready money two hundred and fifty dollars, enough to keep us in the lap of luxury for a very short space of time and then it is to work for every last one of you!” There was a short pause as this was absorbed, then to the amazement of all Nell pleaded: “ Dad, I am sure if you advance me this sum, within the coming three weeks I can double it!” “Nell intends to play the market”—this from irresponsible Bobby. “You’re not going on the stage, my dear!” gasped Mother. After reassuring them that her plan to achieve such sudden affluence was honest and upright Helen turned to her father for the ver- dict. That esteemed parent seemed enveloped in thought for a short period, then replied: “Helen, you are a girl after mine own heart and if you feel equally responsible I will advance my every penny to realize the perfection of your plan.” In spite of the disgust of Bob and the ques- tioning of her parents Helen refused to unveil her idea until the appropriate time. The fol- lowing three days were spent by Nell in mys- terious country-excursions from which she re- turned gleeful and expectant. Upon the eve of the fourth she announced she would disclose her secret upon the follow- ing day, at sundown, precisely. She issued directions for them to drive to Trenton, New Jersey, and there inquire for the “Tangerine.” Accordingly the members of the amazed Fairdon tribe arrived at the appointed destin- ation, Trenton, from which they were directed to follow the state road for a short distance in order to reach the “Tangerine.” The haughty sun had gently but firmly de- clined the hospitality of dear Mother Earth and was to be seen retiring from view in the west, when the weary travelers were suddenly star- tled by the appearance of a huge orange mass, yet in the distance, upon which the rapidly weakening sun was blending its feeble rays in iridescent manner. To their utter surprise when nearing this hitherto unrecognizable mass they realized it to be a bungalow, broad and long, enclosed by stretches of well-kept lawn and shrubbery and surrounded in the background by stately elm trees. Relieving the orange color in which the house had been developed were blinds of black and huge black porch chairs of wicker cushioned in black velour. The attention of the tourists was drawn to two large black cats of china, placed on both sides of the entrance, within whose hollow bodies had been heaped unac- countable bunches of yellow and orange “Marguerites,” resplendent in their charm. To the right and left of the driveway were placed tiny black tables and chairs, each SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 193 adorned with odd varieties of these Mar- guerites, and surmounted by sun umbrellas of an orange and black pattern establishing com- fort to the utmost degree. Though there had been lights within none had appeared to welcome the now delighted family, who deemed it wise to enter and request an interview with the artist who had developed such harmony and excellency from a simple little house. In response to their calls a tiny maid attired in a black dress and apron and cap of orange appeared. “ Miss Helen Fairdon ? Please enter and I wiil see if she is at leisure. In a moment Nell appeared and conducted her family to the main room, equally exquisite in furnishings. The floor had been waxed in preparation for dancing and tables similar to those of the exterior formed a semicircle about the clearance. The Fairdon family had always appreciated art, especially Mother, who now experienced rare delight upon beholding the artistry and delicacy combining the interior. White lace curtains draped in orange and black lazily swung in rhythm to the gentle summer breeze. The chandelier had been hung in the centre of the room and it lent a soft glow to the scene. After they were seated Nell proceeded to un- fold the plan and its development. The “Tan- gerine was the result. It was leased from a dependable old gentleman and worked out under the sole direction of Nell, at a very moderate estimation. This was the opening night and Helen de- sired her parents to have ringside seats at her debut. Time was not left for further discussion as an orchestra, cleverly screened by palms, began to play and parties commenced to arrive. The “Tangerine has become well known. Nell is now one of our foremost landscape gardeners and interior decorators. Mother Fairdon has taken up the management of the thriving “Tangerine by the wayside, and Bob has found an occupation worthy of his superi- ority, in the role of supervisor of the building of similar havens of rest, in accordance with the directions of Helen. The Fairdon fortune is returning in a sweet and modified way to supreme happiness and contentment. THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT That instruction in science forms a very im- portant part of education has long been gen- erally admitted, but just at this time it seems hardly necessary to maintain that every edu- cated person must be increasingly familiar with scientific facts and principles. The prominence of Chemistry in the recent war, which has led to a growing realization by the public of its impor- tance in industrial life, and the present rap- idly spreading interest in radio communication are but two illustrations of the close relation of science to every-day life. The Somerville High School makes adequate provision for this part of the education of its students as is shown by the attention given 10 science in the course of study as well as in phy- sical equipment. Every pupil who gets a di- ploma must have taken at least one course in science, but so many elect more science than is required that there are six teachers in the department who devote their entire time to the work and, in addition, extra afternoon classes are held. The department makes constant use of two lecture rooms and four laboratories, two Chemical, one Biological and one Physical. The following scientific subjects are taught: As- tronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Physiology. The number of pupils enrolled in science classes is 1,074. Our science courses are planned to fulfil ail necessary college requirements but also with the thought in mind to make them deal with practical things. To this end much time is de- voted to laboratory work by the pupil supple- mented by lecture table demonstrations for which a large amount of apparatus is available. Field and industrial excursions and reviews of scientific books and magazines serve to em- phasize the connection of science with the world’s activities. A small but interested science club has been established in the school this year and plans are being made to extend its scope next year. 104 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Value of Elocution to the Business Man By Angelina Lamborghini, 1922 a business man is to speak well, energetically and acceptably, it is certain that he must possess a knowledge of elocution and be able to apply spontaneously that knowl- edge to every syllable of every word he utters. It is true that the business people of to-day are cultivating their minds to a higher degree than in previous years, but it is truer still that they frequently, yes, too frequently, neglect their speech. In the great business world of to-day there are countless numbers of men who are doomed to remain at the bottom of the ladder of suc- cess for the simple reason that they are handi- capped by the lack of clearness of speech. These impressive words of that great orator and statesman, W. E. Gladestone, may well apply to this common failing: “Ninety-nine men in every hundred in the crowded professions will prob- ably never rise above mediocrity because the training of the voice is entirely neglected, and considered of no importance.” The reason for this may be easily traced back to the first years in school. Great attention was formerly paid to writing and very little to enun- ciation. The teachers themselves lacked clear speech. Some seemed to have cultivated a lisp- ing, drawling or hesitating utterance or other peculiar habits of delivery, all of which were detrimental to the young child, for we know he imitates mechanically the first person who comes long. Tracing it back still farther, we find that the colleges and schools that trained these teachers did not include distinct utterance among their requirements. Now having indicated to you the cause of this great handicap of the business man, let me show you the drawbacks resulting. The business man uses his organs of speech as much as the carpenter uses his hands. He must dictate to his secretary, he must meet and talk with hundreds of people each day, he must use the telephone, dictaphone and above all he must conduct meetings with his business associates. Let me ask you: “What becomes of the busi- ness man who is inaccurate and unrefined in the use of his mother tongue?” In answer I will say this: He lacks confidence in himself— confidence, that which is so vital to every one’s success in life. He loses time, because, if he can- not talk clearly, it takes his hearer twice as long to understand him, and we fully realize that the up-to-date business man values his minutes. The manufacturing concerns of to-day, as a rule, judge the business houses with whom they deal, by the character of the letters sent them. If a letter is not carefully worded they imme- diately get the impression that the business house cannot afford to employ competent sten- ographers. But we know that the employer is often more to blame than the stenographer. He cannot talk so that he can be understood and she, poor, timid creature, dares not ask him to repeat, for that might cost her her position. And so you see, my dear friends, of what value a course in elocution would be to not only the business man, but to everyone. And let us not forget these words by Shakespeare:— “ Mend your speech a little, Lest it mar your fortune.” LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Summer vacation is drawing near and per- haps it would be well to know the titles of a few interesting books for summer reading. Some good story books are: “The Mutineers,” Hawes; “Betty Alden,” Austin; “Men of Iron,” Pyle; “Red City,” Mitchell; “Happy Hours,” Abbott; “Unwilling Vestal,” White; “Honorable Peter Sterling,” Ford. For those who like biographies: “Queen Vic- toria,” Strachey; “Alice Freeman Palmer,” Palmer; “Americanization of Edward Bok,” Bok; “My Boyhood,” Burroughs; “Theodore Roosevelt,” Thayer; “Mary Lyon,” Gilchrist. Four good history and travel books are: “History of Mankind,” Van Loon; “Book of Boston,” Shackleton; “Trail Makers of the Northwest,” Haworth; “Outline of History,” Wells. Many new books have been added to our school library this year. A large number have just been received from the library of S. New- ton Cutler. Mr. Cutler was for many years president of the school board. At his death, which occurred about ten years ago, the school libraries of the city received a bequest of money to be invested and its income to be spent on books.

Wickerson, the Red and Blue star pitcher, issued three passes in the second inning which resulted in three runs. Somerville went ahead in the fifth and was tied up in the eighth. In the tenth McGuire, the Red and Blue catcher, doubled. Simpson sacrificed him to third and Currier placed a pretty single over short foi the deciding run. A feature of the game was the catching of foul flies by Crandell and Stevens. Huberman and Connolly were hard hitters for Malden. ATHLETICS Rindge scored in the sixth inning, McKelvie was safe at first on an error and he was sacri- ficed to second. Kane hit to Jeremiah, who fumbled, and McKelvie scored. In the ninth Stevens hit a pretty single into centre field, Crandell sacrificed him to second, Wickerson flied out. Stevens took third on a passed ball and Currier, next man up, walked and took second on next ball down. With two men out and a man on second and third, Sprague hit a liner to Sweeney, the shortstop, who fumbled it and then threw wild to the first- baseman, who in a vain attempt tried to get Currier at the plate, but both men were safe. The honor of Sprague’s hit must be shared with Captain Frank Crandell, for just before the winning hit was made he was seen in a de- votional position kneeling on the bats. “Lefty” Wickerson pitched one of his best games, allowing two hits, passing none and struck out thirteen. Robinson, of Rindge, handed out four hits, two bases on balls and struck out seven. Somerville High 8, Brookline 7 The Red and Blue won from Brookline at their home grounds in a Suburban League en- counter, by the score of 8 to 7. McFayden twirled for Somerville and showed much speed and control. Harwood first mounted the mound for Brook- line and was forced off in the third. A recruit pitcher, Shapiro, was given his first assignment and made good. He allowed Somerville one run in the eighth which decided the game. Somerville 2, Rindge Tech 1 Somerville High defeated its old rival, Rindge Technical School, at Dilboy Field, Somerville, by the score of 2 to 1. The score stood 1 to 0 against Coach Ayer’s boys in the last of the ninth, but after Rindge woke up the Red and Blue had two runs for their one. Somerville 1, Cambridge Latin 0 Somerville High annexed its second succes- sive game in the Suburban League series by a 1 to 0 shutout over Cambridge Latin, at Dilboy Field, Somerville. “Danny” McFayden worked on the mound for the Red and Blue and it was his debut for the nine. He held Cambridge Latin to five hits and retired fifteen on strikes. In the last of the ninth, Maguire hit a single over second, advanced to second on Stevens’ bunt, the latter beating it out. Simpson was put out at first. “Bob” Buckley, on the hit-and- run play, failed to connect and as a result Maguire was caught between third and home for the second out. Buckley then hit to Cronin, who threw to Linehan, who was drawn off the base and failed to touch the runner, who was safe and Stevens scored. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 190 3ohes 1922 Charles G.

Then my father met our stepdaughter and married her. That made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and made my stepdaughter my stepmother, and my father became my stepson. Then my stepmother, the stepdaughter of my wife, had a son; that boy was of course my brother because he was my father’s son, but he was also the son of my wife’s stepdaughter and therefore her grandson, which made me grand- father to my brother. Then my wife had a son. My mother-in-law, the stepsister of my son, is also his grand- mother because he is her stepson’s child. My father is the brother-in-law of my child, because his stepsister is his wife. I am the brother of my own son who is also the child of my grand- mother; I am my mother’s brother-in-law; my wife is her own child’s aunt; my son is my father’s nephew, and I am my own grandfather. NO DANGER A nervous passenger, on the first day at sea, asked the captain this: “What would be the result if our ship should happen to collide witn an iceberg?” “The iceberg would move right along, mad- am,” the captain replied, “just as if nothing had happened.” And the old lady was greatly relieved. HOW THEY SEEM TO US Quail—a rare bird. Can iff—the cowboy. Harding—“trippingly on the tongue.” Bacon—“Spare Ribs.” Tribou—the chauffeur. Meaney—“Eight Ball.” Grotty—'“Well, of all jokes!” Williams—“The Spanish Shark” from 222. She: “Three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead.” He: “Yes, but three women can only keep a secret if all three are dead.” Have you ever tried to save four seats in the hall at an evening performance?

The Seniors are wondering where next year’s Sophomores are going to park their kiddy-kars. Junior: “Only fools are positive.” Senior: “Are you sure?” Junior: “I’m positive.”—(?) Teacher: “Name something that is made of ivory.” Soph: “I’ve got it in my head but I can’t ex- press it.” Author: “My new novel has its scenes in the wheat fields.” Editor: “Then I suppose you’re going to run it in (cereal) form.” Willie: “Do you know why you’ve whipped me, pop?” Pop: “Yes, because you were naughty.” Willie: “No, pop; because you’re bigger’n me.” A negro was trying to saddle a fractious mule, when a bystander asked:— “Does that mule ever kick you, Sam?” “No, sah, but he sometimes kicks where I’se jes’ been.” 200 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR POPULAR FOLKS Stackpole—businesslike attitude.

Perkins—“Going to the game?” Faulty: “Your son just threw a stone at me.” Proud: “Did he hit you ?” Faulty: “No: but pretty near.” Proud: “Then it wasn’t my son.” AGILE “Is he light on his feet?” “No, but he did on mine.” “ME AND THE GENERAL The soldier was relating an experience. “Me and the general—” he began, when a sergeant interrupted. “You should say ‘The general and I ” he observed. The soldier gazed at him for a moment and replied: “I beg pardon, sir, but I didn’t know you were there, however, me and you and the general—” Our idea of the Soph’s vocabulary:— “Gee! Dandy! Swell! Punk! Yuh! Huh!” Soph’s idea of our vocabulary:— “Exquisitely! Chronologically! Stereograph- ically! Eleemosynariously!” Miss McC-o-d is quite an actress. Ask “Ding.” Mike (writing): “Dear Tim, are you dead or alive? If you’re alive send me the $20 you owe me by return mail.” By return mail: “Dear Mike, Oi’m dead and the $20 went towards paying the funeral ex- penses.” 1923 John Holmes, Editor. Stanley Teele, Assistant Editor. Little Charles (feeling he should contribute something to the conversation): “We’ve had chicken four times this week!” Visitor: “Four chickens? What luxury.” Charles: “Oh, no, it was the same chicken.” Cholly: “You know, last year the doctor told me that if I didn’t stop smoking I would become feeble minded.” Grace: “Why didn’t you stop?” First Stroller: “Don’t you know your friend now ?” Second Stroller: “She speaks to no one since she won the prize offered for politeness.” Teacher: “What does sea water contain be- sides the sodium chloride that we have men- tioned?” Pupil: “Fish, sir.” Teacher: “We borrowed our numerals from the Arabs, our calendar from the Romans, and our banking from the Italians. Can anyone give another example?” Willie: “Our lawn mower from the Smiths, our snow shovel from the Joneses, and our baby carriage from the Bumps.” Chemistry teacher: “Oxygen is free in the air.” Voice in class: “No war tax on it either.” A Philadelphia minister is the father of a son whose habits of unpunctuality are a sore trial. Nevertheless, the youth’s ready tongue is a source of secret delight to the parent. Once the young man appeared at Sunday breakfast twenty minutes after the appointed time. “Son,” said the minister reproachfully, as he held his watch so that the youth might see its accusing face, “do you think this is right? Do you honestly think this is right?” “Well, father,” returned the young man re- gretfully, “1 wish it were about twenty minutes fast, but as you ask me to say honestly, I am afraid it’s just about right.” RELATIVE GREATNESS Little Ray, arriving home from school, found his mother talking to a portly lady whom he had never seen before. “Raymond, dear,” said his mother, “this is your great aunt.” “Yes,” said Ray, taking in her ample propor- tions, “she looks it.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 201 My left hand may not be right Nor my right hand ever my left, But if I have left only my right, Then surely my right is my left. Usually I write with my right, But sometimes I have left only my left; Therefore my left is left to write What my right has cruelly left. SILENCE IS GOLDEN I know a very wonderful girl, Beautiful as can be, Who smiles and smiles the whole day long Where everyone can see. A passing glance is all she knows, She’s never had a lover, But then what more could one expect, For a girl on a magazine cover?—Ex. THE MAIN MYSTERY Willie Willis: “Pa, what do they mean when they speak of the ‘mysteries of the East’ ?” Papa Willis: “How so many people in New York get along without working.” “Papa, where is Atoms ?” “I don’t know, my boy. Do you mean Athens?” “No, Atoms, the place where everything is blown to.” “What is a sorority?” “A sorority is a girl’s fraternity.” Hocus: “What is your favorite book?” Pocus: “My bank book; but even that has been lacking in interest of late.” JUST TO OBLIGE “The doctor says 1 must quit smoking. One iung is nearly gone.” “Oh, dear, John. Can’t you hold out until we get enough coupons for that dining-room rug?” They were motoring, and he bade defiance to all police traps. “We’re going fifty miles an hour,” he said. “Are you brave?” She (swallowing another pint of dust): “Yes, I’m full of grit.” The mother observed that Willie, the elder, refused to share his marbles with Johnny. “Now, Willie, don’t be selfish,” she said. “Let your little brother play with the marbles awhile.” “But, mother, he always wants to keep them,” replied Willie. “I don’t think he does,” mother said. “Yes’m, he does,” Willie argued, “ ’cause he’s swallowed two of them already.” 1924 Lillian Kingston, Editor. Mabel Everett, Assistant Editor. THE GIFT SUPREME “You have a better home, nicer clothes and more playthings than Jimmy Jones,” said the mother reproachfully. “I know, mom, but he can wiggle his ears.” A man who believed he knew all about par- rots undertook to teach what he thought to be a young mute bird to say, “Hello!” in one les- son. Going up to its cage he repeated that word in a clear voice for several minutes, the parrot paying not the slightest attention. At the final “Hello!” the bird opened one eye, gazed at the man, and snapped out: “Line’s busy!” Henriette had been naughty, and her mother got angry and said instead of punishing her she would just get a good little girl in place ot her. Henriette stopped crying and started to laugh, saying: “You can’t trade me.” Her mother was surprised and asked her why. “Well,” said Henriette, “no lady will trade you a good little girl to get a worser one.” VERY SONOROUS Bing: “1 had a good sound sleep last night.” Bang: “So I heard.” HER WISH It seemed to Rosabelle that afternoon that she was blocked at every turn. It was “No” this and “No” that, till at length she began to cry, angrily exclaiming to her mother between sobs: “I wish ‘No’ was a swear word, mamma, so’s you couldn’t say it.” A man called at a village postoffice for a reg- istered letter which he knew would be await- ing him. The letter was there, but the clerk demurred at handing it over, as he had no means of identifying the caller. The caller took a photograph of himself from his pocket, re- marking: “I think that ought to satisfy you as to who I am.” The clerk looked long and earnestly at the portrait and then said: “Yes, that’s you, right enough. Here’s your letter.” “James, there are burglars downstairs,” said Mrs. Timmid, sitting up in bed. “Oh, no, dear,” was the reply from hubby. “James, I tell you there are.” “I tell you there are no burglars downstairs.’ “Your husband is quite right, mum,” inter- posed a low-browed individual, who thrust his head into the room, “We’re upstairs.” 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Last night, what time did your friend leave?” The angry father said. “A quarter of eight,” the daughter cried, And quickly hung her head. Oh, was that such a lie to tell? I truly ask of you, For almost everybody knows That a “quarter of eight” is “two.” Lady airplane passenger: “Does one often fall out of his plane while doing those stunts?” Aviator: “No! Only once!” “Are those binoculars very powerful?” asked the young lady. “Yes, miss,” replied the sailor. “These glasses bring things up so close that everything less than ten miles away looks like it is behind J.

Seventeen EDITORI AI Now that conditions in the business world, as well as the school world, are gradually resuming normality, no problems or perplexing difficulties are offered with this Radiator Year Book to the reader. All of the material has been thoroughly edited before being submitted to the press. A dean record is behind the 1922 Radiator. The co-operation of the associate editors and appointed committees has been excellent, and no delay in copy has seriously hindered the book. Neither apologies nor undue claims are made for the work, as the Radiator Year Book of 1922 is a mirrored record of the activities of the Somerville High School. We have given freely of our time and energy and the best of our ability has been shown as recorders. We will let the book stand on the merits of its subject matter.

In general we were typical freshmen excepting that the size of the class as a whole was large. Although we at once became active in all school activities nothing much was accomplished in the way of unusual achievements. The following year as Sophomores, due to the abolition of the Fresh- man year in the Somerville High School, our membership increased to almost one thousand students. We organized as a class and the following officers were elected: Lemuel Rogers, President; Alice McGrath, Vice- President; Bernice Parker, Secretary; and Harold Quail, Treasurer. A Sophomore dance was held, which proved very successful both financially and otherwise. It was here our social activities as a class began. With one half of our high school career completed, we returned in the Fall of 1920 as Juniors. The same class officers were re-elected with the exception of the secretary. Miss Elinor Martin was elected to that po- sition. As Juniors we staged that wonderful play, “At the End of the Rainbow,” which was’considered the most successful of many years. This play netted our treasury the handsome sum of $700. Our Junior Prom was equally successful as a social activity and will be long remembered. By the end of our Junior year we held an enviable position among the classes of the school. Finally we reached the very height of our ambition, namely, to be Sen- iors, the first event of importance being the “Senior Elections.” Fortunately or unfortunately the same officers were re-elected, three of these, the pres- ident, vice-president and treasurer, holding their respective offices for three successive years. As Seniors we have been working toward the big events, Senior Night, Class Day and Graduation. It must be remembered that during these four years the class of 1922 has been popular in con- tributing members to the various athletic teams. Two of these teams have won championships. We have been and still are proud of our athletes, some of the most prominent being MacPhail, Currier, Campbell, Crandell, Wickerson, Buckley, Dresser, Kelliher and Marmaud. While there isn’t space to name the many members of our class who in some way or other have upheld the prestige of 1922 by their prowess, they are still remembered. During our high school career we have re- ceived many invaluable lessons and much friendly advice from the entire faculty for which we are very grateful. Thus, I believe, we leave the Som- erville High School proud of the fact that we are members of the Class of 1929 LEMUEL J. ROGERS, President Class of 1922.

Honor is the premier quality of character and should be jealously guarded from any possible harm or injury. Success without honor is worse than the most degrading death. True success without honor is unattaina- ble, but apparent success, so cleverly gilded over with the crying dollars of the needy, is often hidden from the eye and mistaken for that success which has been built on the bedrock of honor. The second essential, progress, is symbolical of growth, development and expansion. Unlike honor, with all its glory and triumph, progress is the result of slow, plodding, wearisome efforts, rewarded only by occa- sional minor triumphs, but always carrying these efforts nearer and nearer to the ideal, goaded on by the final reward, success. Progress is not limited to the individual. A nation’s life, its very existence, is dependent on the development of the sciences. Every generation adds to its own discoveries in a progression to which there seems no limit. Progress, so easily attained, yet so essential, goes hand in hand with honor and these two, honor and progress, are the foundations upon which ultimate success is built. One Hundred Twenty-two GIFT OF CLASS. Class Reunion r On Thursday evening, December 28, 1922, the Senior Class of 1922 is expected to be present at a class reunion and good time to be held in the High School Auditorium. Seniors not able to be present are requested to correspond with the class secretary. Seniors of 1922, remember the date, and make your first reunion a success.

Our supreme confidence upon entering turned to bewilderment as our hastening steps led us through the halls and corridors so thickly populated with upper classmen who occasionally deigned to glance in our direction. Slowly but surely, as those first days passed, the school tradi- tions were borne upon us. The fact was that our intelligence, already so highly developed, could perhaps stand a little more training. The time came shortly, however, when we could find our own feeble way about the building without relying upon the good nature of upper classmen for guidance. So we finally settled into our groove, and realizing the necessity for im- mediate organization, we elected the following officers: Edward Hall, Pres- ident; Elizabeth Tibbetts, Vice-President; Claire Tucke, Secretary; Harry Hurley, Treasurer, and were represented on the council by James Sharkey and Dante Georgetti. Ambitious to accomplish the unusual and bring ourselves prominence we planned for our Sophomore dance, which was a great success in all senses of the word. With the wisdom gained in our Sophomore year, we returned in Sep- tember as Juniors determined to perform the duties that school traditions demanded of us, surpassing perhaps the attempts of former classes. The election which shortly followed our return resulted as follows: Edward Hall, President; Fayette Haskell, Vice-President; Dorothy Law- son, Secretary; Harry Hurley, Treasurer; and as representatives on the Students’ Council Misses Tibbetts and Laird. In view of starting the Junior play, a committee for that purpose was elected consisting of Priscilla Leach, Andrew Pike, Delaney Cleveland. The play itself, “Bashful Mr. Bobbs,” was rapidly developed under the skilful direction of Miss Bell. Its successful presentation on January 20th revealed much conscientious work and justifies our thanking all partici- pants. Junior Night, prominent on the school calendar as one of the most important school functions, was a decided success under a well chosen com- mittee consisting of the following: Beatrice Lord, Stanley Teele, Cleon Hopkins. A clever two-act comedy written by Stanley Teele and John Holmes, members of the class, was well received amid much laughter. So with this social event ends the second chapter of our career as stu- dents in the Somerville High School. In September we start a new chapter which will finish our book. In the climax let us make it the best and most successful year ever enjoyed by this class or any preceding classes of the Somerville High School. EDWARD L. HALL. President of the Class of 1923.

H. S.: Being little Sophies we thought that we had better write you, so that you may know more about us. Soon after we became familiar with your ways and customs, and had received our beloved report cards for the first time, we decided that we must elect class officers. When the excitement was all over, and the votes were counted, the results were as follows: Leslie Thompson, president; Esme Lucas, vice-president; Evelyn Thompson, secretary; Harris Neil, treasurer. The officers automatically became members of the Students' Council and represented their class satisfactorily in that organization. The first assembly of the Class of 1924 was held on Friday, January 13, 1922. The president presided at the meeting, and the treasurer spoke concerning class dues. Perhaps it was a bad day (Friday, the 13th) to talk about such weighty matters. However, it was decided that the class dues for 1922 be 25 cents. At this meeting a committee of three was ap- pointed to assist the officers in choosing a suitable class pin. Mr. Avery concluded the meeting by wishing the Class of 1924 the best of success in all of its undertakings. The next assembly was called on Wednesday, March 22, 1922. Follow- ing the reading of the treasurer’s report, a proposition was put before the class by the editor-in-chief of the Radiator. The proposition concerned the taking of two large group pictures; one of the Sophomore boys, and the other of the Sophomore girls; to be printed in the Year Book. The class was highly favorable toward this plan, and voted the §40.00 necessary to take the pictures and make the half-tone cuts. The meeting was brought to a close by President Thompson. The Class of 1924 was fairly well represented in the various branches of athletics; and Clarence Fraser and Danny McFayden won their athletic “S” in football and hockey respectively. The Annual Sophomore Dance was held on Friday, April 7, in the High School Hall and was immensely enjoyed by everyone present. The music, furnished by Touraine’s Orchestra, was exceptionally good. As this is our first letter you must be considerate if our history is not as thrilling and romantic as those of the upper classes. Even if a few of us were able to earn our “D’s” with ease we still have hopes of improving next year. I remain a sincere friend, Soph. O. More (LESLIE THOMPSON). One Hundred Thirty STUDENTS COUNCIL THE ST I DENTS’ COIWCIL The Students’ Council has experienced the most successful year of its career. More business has been transacted and better results have been obtained because of the fine spirit of co-operation that has existed between the faculty, the student body and the Council. The Council has not attempted to define policies of school administration but has endeavored to participate in the affairs of the school in a co-operative and helpful manner. The character of the Council has been somewhat changed since the room proctors who, up to this year, could only offer suggestions, have been given the full privilege in debate and voting. This served to make the Council a more democratic and well knit body. The greatest achievement of the Students’ Council this year has been the adoption of the filing plan. For several years the filing had been somewhat lax and, in order to remedy this evil, a joint committee con- sisting of three members of the facility and three members of the Council met and after studying the question thoroughly, issued a bulletin which contained the filing plan. The main objective of the plan was to insure rapid and silent filing between periods. The pupils responded well and the results were more than satisfying to the Council. Among the many matters which have been discussed have been the congestion at recess hour and after school; campaigns for cleanliness in classrooms, corridors, lunchrooms and school grounds; procuring of posters and mottoes for school activities; assisting in securing better car-service and reduced fares for the pupils; conducting assemblies for the promotion of school spirit or for some particular school activity; assisting in cam- paigns and “drives” for the benefit of the school bank, the athletic asso- ciation, orchestra and kindred organizations; acting as a reception com- mittee and guides at public functions such as Parents’ Night. The Students’ Council has endeavored to eliminate infractions of the school regulations. On occasions when, in the opinion of the student body, the reputation of the school has suffered because of some serious breach of conduct, the Council, as the representative body of the students, has sug- gested to the head-master a form of punishment for the misdemeanor and has taken steps to impress upon the miscreants its displeasure at such occurrences. The Council has come into close contact with the student body through its advertising campaign in which an effort was made to acquaint the students more thoroughly with the aims and purposes of the Council. Through its representatives, the room proctors, the Council has been able to lay before the student body any plan which they wished to have adopted. The officers of this year’s Students’ Council were: Lemuel Rogers, president; Edward Hall, vice-president; Harold Quail, treasurer, and Eleanor Martin, secretary. Om- Hundred Thirl -three “S” MEN’S CLUB GIRLS’ DEBATING TEAM DEBATING THE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The activities of the Girls’ Debating Society began late in the season because of the resignation of Miss Grace E. W. Sprague, who had directed the society since its organization. After Thanksgiving, however, we succeeded in obtaining Mrs. Ruth L. Card as coach, and we began our work in earnest. Meetings were held every Thursday, attended by enthusiastic girls, and a series of informal debates was given at these regular meetings, which gave the girls the opportunity to learn and to practice the rudiments or debating. Nor were these practice debates “ cut and dried,” — on the contrary, the society found them most interesting and waited eagerly each week for the judge’s decisions. This practice was all in preparation for the big event to take place early ki January, namely the Trials for the Inter- scholastic Team. An assembly was held for the girls of the school, in order to arouse them to a sense of the value of debating, both for themselves and for the school. Olive Holmes spoke in behalf of the Society; Mr. Mahoney pointed out very forcibly the value of debating as training for leadership, and Miss Merrill and Mrs. Card also said a few words in regard to the place of im- portance which debating should hold in the Somerville High School. As a result, twenty-two splendid speakers offered themselves as can- didates. and it was with difficulty that the judges, members of the faculty, chose the six principals and the two alternates who were to compose the team. These were as follows: Olive Holmes, 1922; Murita Lally, 1922; Evelyn Stern, 1922; Doris Westlund. 1922; Kathleen O’Brien, 1923; and Frances Burhart, 1924. Alternates: Marjorie Parker, 1922, and Arline Snow, 1922. For over a month these eight girls, with Mrs. Card, the coach, worked diligently and faithfully, that they might retain for Somerville the honorable place she has always held in debating. Miss Bell, also, worked untiringly, as did other members of the faculty. And may we mention, also, the gratitude we feel to those members of the Boys Debating Society, who, although they had no formal league debate of their own to work for, gladly and ably gave of their time and talents. They very charitably One Hundred Thlrty-Ncven allowed the girls to practice their eloquence on them in several trial debates and gave valuable suggestions. A few days before the Triangular Debate another assembly was called, this time not to ask for candidates for the team, but to urge support for the team; and here, again, the student body co-operated generously. The Interscholastic Debate, on the evening of March 10, was a success- ful one, from every point of view,—yes, even financially. Although Somer- ville lost to Brookline at Somerville, she won over Newton at Newton the same evening by unanimous vote. Even though we did not receive the complete championship this year, the work in the Brookline-Somerville debate was very creditable and much praise is due the girls who gave their time and effort so generously in behalf of our school. Nor was it all hard work, and no play. The team, with Mrs. Card and Miss Bell as guests, partook of a most bountiful banquet at Riverbank Court, on which occasion they were presented, by the president, with the Debating League pins. The letters were also awarded at this time. Following the dinner, the girls all enjoyed the evening at a theatre party. Thus did the Debating Society end a most satisfying and successful year. May it continue to be as active in the years to come. EDITH TAYLOR, President of the Girls’ Debating Society. THE BOYS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The old saying is, “ The pen is mightier than the sword,” but innum- erable occasions have shown that the ability to present a convincing argu- ment verbally often outweighs these other two means of persuasion. The purpose of our debating society is to teach the boys of the school to present clearly and convincingly their thoughts. In former years, contests with other schools have been held and the boys of Somerville High School were usually triumphant owing to their superior training. This school year has passed without an interscholastic debate because no coach could be obtained for the team. The only assistance received from the faculty was in the form of a lecture by Mr. DeCelles. Informal debates were held weekly, and assistance was rendered the girls’ teams when they were preparing their interscholastic debates. The boys of the school are interested in debating, it is their greatest intellectual sport and it is lamentable to think that they are handicapped by lack of a coach. Part of our school motto calls for Progress and we Senior members of the Boys’ Debating Society trust that this will be ap- plied to debating in the future. ROBERT A. SHEA, President. One Hundred Thirty-ei|?kt CHESS CLUB This year, for the first time in the history of the school, a Chess Club has been formed, and has functioned like the other school organizations. The boys who conceived the idea of such a society were fortunate in se- curing the advice of Mr. Sears, who aided them in forming the club, and later, at the request of the members, consented to act as faculty-advisor. The following officers were elected for the year: Richard J. Walsh, presi- dent ; Stanley F. Teele, vice-president; Donald McGilvray, secretary-treas- urer. During all the winter months a growing interest was shown in the Chess Club through the increasing attendance, and by the many new friends that interesting and scientific game made. By means of an appro- priation of the Athletic Association sets of chessmen were bought. Chess- boards secured through the kindness of Mr. Jaynes and the Practical Arts Department completed the club’s equipment. After a preliminary competition a team was picked to represent Som- erville High School against other teams. Its members were: Richard J. Walsh, (’23), captain, Stanley F. Teele (’23), Donald McGilvray (’22), Warren S. Thomas (’23), Albert Forbes (’22), Ralph Ells (’22), and Samuel Tomashevsky (’23), alternate. Four matches have been played, resulting in wins from Somerville High School Alumni and Rindge Tech and defeats by Cambridge Latin and Huntington. This is a creditable record for the team’s first season and foretells bright prospects for next year. RICHARD JOSEPH WALSH, President. One Hundred Thirty-nine INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL ALPHA ZETA PHI The Alpha Zeta Phi Fraternity has completed the most successful year of its career. By the invitation of the Inter-Fraternity Council, Alpha Zeta Phi joined that worthy body, thus making every fraternitv in the school a member of the Council. To all the members of other frater- nities who are to graduate this June Alpha Zeta Phi extends its best wishes of success. Two bungalow parties were held in the early part of the school year. Soon after came the annual formal dance, which was held at Heinemann s on February 2. The Annual Banquet, which was graced by the presence of members of the faculty and a representative from each fra- ternity, took place at Hotel Vendome on March 20. The “Zeta Follies,” without doubt the most pretentious and magnificent show ever presented by a Somerville High School fraternity, was held at High School Hall on April 20 and 21 and was hailed as an unequaled success. On May 9 an informal dance was given to the cast of the Follies at the Beech Street Bungalow. During the Memorial Day holidays our members spent their vacation in camp at Littleton, Massachusetts. A fate we 11 “Good Luck Party” in June at the Beech Street Bungalow completed the long list oC social activities. Alpha Zeta Phi Fraternity deeply appreciates the honor shown in dedicating the Radiator Year Book to our own dear brother, Paul Anderson, who lost his life so tragically on August 18, 1921. The Zetas of the Senior Class desire to express their gratitude to the faculty for their kind advice and guardianship throughout their high school career and even though they will never return as students they will always cherish the remembrance of the institution where so many true friendships were founded. OMICRON PI SIGMA Omicron Pi Sigma opened the year with a most successful dance at Thanksgiving time. It has been the custom to have the annual dance at this time when scores of our older brothers, home from college, may attend. This year was also made prominent by a minstrel show which was solely the work of the brothers, who worked untiringly for what they hold most dear to them. Later in the year Omicron Pi Sigma ran a small dance which was also a great success. The brothers all responded with great spirit and helped the committee in every way possible. Plans were made for our annual banquet, which took place about May 30, and also for a small closing dance. . Those of us who are leaving the school this year will always carry with us the pleasant memories of our life in Omicron Pi Sigma. To the younge. brothers upon whose shoulders the burdens of the fraternity now fai� we wish every success. One Hundred l-'orly-one GAMMA ETA KAPPA Delta Zeta Chapter of Gamma Eta Kappa has completed one of the most successful years in its history. The chapter began the season with an informal dance at the Fitzedward Bungalow October 26. In November Delta Zeta joined with the Eta Zeta, of Winchester, in a banquet. After great anticipation on the part of its friends, Delta Zeta held its annual dance at the Heinemann House, December 27. Although a formal dance and a departure from the usual chapter affairs, a large number were present among whom were many alumni who were home from college. The annual banquet of the fraternity was held on March 10 with Eta and Beta chapters to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the launch- ing of the fraternity. Soon after, the “Gek” cabaret was given at High School Hall, May 5. Dancing followed the very fine programme. The officers and brothers of Gamma Eta Kappa extend their best wishes for the future of every member of the Class of 1922 and to the underclassmen they wish great success for their remaining years. The brothers of Gamma Eta Kappa who are to graduate extend a very sincere wish to the faculty that the years to come may be filled with the great happiness that comes only to those who serve their fellow beings. THETA SIGMA DELTA The Theta Sigma Delta Fraternity has successfully completed its thirteenth year in the Somerville High School. After an inactive year caused by the absence of the majority of its members, who had enlisted, the remaining members who were still in school decided to reorganize. On March 23 an informal dinner party was held at the home of one of its members. A banquet was given at the Fritz-Carlton Hotel on May 27 at which Mayor Webster, members of the faculty and other honored guests were present. This was the crowning event of the school year. The fraternity extends their most sincere thanks to the members of the other fraternities for their interest and support during the reorganiza- tion of Theta Sigma Delta. To the faculty, the Inter-Fraternity Council, the pupils, we extend our best wishes for an enjoyable vacation. KAPPA ALPHA PI The Gamma Alpha Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Pi Fraternity has added one more successful year to its life. In every undertaking it has met with success. The leadership of two of the major sports has been held by its members while many brothers have made their letters in football, hockey and base- ball. But the “Kappas” have not confined themselves solely to sports, for the presidency of the Boys’ Debating Society has been another post of leadership held by them. The membership of the chapter is now greater than ever before and it is the sincere wish of the fraternity that its members will do everything in their power to further the interests of the school. Oik IIiindr� tl Forty-two iworittra PHI ALPHA Phi Alpha has completed its twenty-fourth successful year. An in- formal Hallowe'en dance was held at Fitzedward Bungalow, and a Christ- mas dance at the Central Club. The annual dance was held during April, at Heinemann House. A gentlemen’s night was held in the form of a progressive dinner party on February 20, 1922. The holiday of the thirtieth of May was spent at a cottage at Nan- tasket. The members of the year 1922 are: Marion Dewitt, president; Helena Lincoln, secretary; Natalie Hailwood, treasurer; Lillian Andrews, Ruthven Parker and Eleanor Youlden. The new members for the year 1923 are: Esther Fisher, Fayette Haskell, Dorothy Lawson, Beatrice Lord, Elizabeth Tibbetts, and Claire Tucke. Phi Alpha wishes the teachers and pupils of the school a very happy vacation. ALPHA THETA PI Alpha Theta Pi Sorority has enjoyed a most successful season during 1921-1922. The officers for the past season were: Lydia Marvin, presi- dent; Evelyn Osgood, vice-president; Marian Hesse, secretary; Mary Rood, treasurer. The sorority has given four very pleasing dancing parties this year, informal ones on November 21, 1921, March 18, and April 24, 1922, and their annual ball at Heinemann House, on Monday, May 8, 1922. The annual banquet was held at Hotel Vendome January 10. The girls have also done considerable charitable as well as social work. The members of Alpha Theta Pi take this opportunity to thank Miss Sprague and Miss Bell, their faculty members, for their hearty and helpful co-operation, and to wish the faculty and students of Somerville High School a most delightful summer vacation. KAPPA DELTA SIGMA Kappa Delta Sigma Sorority is nearing the end of its second successful year in the school. „ . , TT , , ... At the beginning of the year Muriel Hale was chosen president, Evelyn Stern, vice-president; Marion Young, treasurer, and Esther Burke, secretary Innumerable affairs have been given including a dance at Holt’s Ball- room. The meetings during the year have been more than delightful and the following were initiated: Louise Gullion, Marion Gore, Florence Clark, Mildred Keith, Katherine MacKenzie, Marguerite Sawin, Grace Kennedy, and Esther Burke. , , ,, ... , ... Six new members have also been proposed and the year will end with a party on May 31. Kappa Delta Sigma extend their best wishes to the faculty and their schoolmates for a very pleasant vacation. One Hundred Forty-three SIGMA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY The Sigma Kappa Alpha Sorority began its activities for the year 1921-1922 with an informal dancing party at the Fitzedward Bungalow on September 30. Weekly meetings were held throughout the school year at the homes of the members. In December the annual Christmas Party took place. A clever entertainment was given by the members of the sorority. Gifts from the elaborately decorated Christmas tree were presented to each member, after which refreshments were served, and dancing was enjoyed until midnight. The annual banquet on March 20 in Hotel Westminster was a brilliant affair. The banquet hall was decorated with the sorority colors, and the tables with red roses, the sorority flower. After-dinner speeches were made by the president and the ex-presidents. Many novelties were introduced including a musical sketch by Bernice Parker and her sister, Florence, a charter member; readings by Margaret Nolan, Alice Scanlan and Anna Keating, who as the president of the sorority received a beautiful basket of red roses. On the evening of May 2 a sale and supper was held at the home of Alice Scanlan. Many dainty and useful articles were disposed of and a picnic supper was served. On May 18 the sorority held its annual formal dance at the Heinemann House. The hall was attractively decorated and the lighting effects gave a rainbow hue to the dancers in their pretty gowns. The vari- colored balloons and the serpentine ribbons floating from the balcony made it seem like a Mardi gras. This was a fitting close for a successful year. The Sigma Kappa Alpha takes this opportunity to thank the faculty for its interest and wishes them and the students of Somerville High School a very enjoyable summer. J. U. K. The members of J. U. K. look back with great pleasure upon this our second and most successful year of existence as a club. The season has been marked by the achievements added to our list of activities, which include: Charitable work, a progressive whist with buffet lunch, a theatre and dinner party, an afternoon tea at the home of Paula Heald, a Christ- mas social at the home of Florence Wilbur, and three successful dances. The first dance was in December at Fitzedward Bungalow, with Hodg- don’s Orchestra. The second, held in Holt’s Cercle Ballroom, on March 31, was featured by unique favors and specialties. The last, our annual May party at Beech Street Bungalow, was the crowning success. The dance was assisted by Magnusson’s Orchestra, and the music, favors, specialties, and decorations upheld the usual standard of J. U. K. affairs. Hester Smith, Eleanor Read, Ruth Drew, Mildred Horton, Helen Monte, Dorothy Newman have been elected during 1922, and we believe that the sorority will be well represented by them in the school. We who are graduating extend sincere regards to our classmates who are leaving for higher institutions or business houses, and the club as a whole wish to express our gratitude to the members of the faculty who have so willingly aided us. One Hundred Forty-four THE Q. N. Q. CLUB The Q. N. Q. Ciub has enjoyed two successful and pleasurable years m Somerville High School. The club is purely social with the aim of strengthening friendship, and consists of eight members, seven of whom are seniors. It has held several private parties and two dances all of which were voted very enjoyable and the crowning event of the year was con- sidered the house party which took place during the week of May lirst at the summer home of one of the members in Rock, Massachusetts. Aside from these affairs the club has presented several entertainments such as. plays and musicals in various places for the benefit of charitable organiza- tions. The members, who are Marian Dodge, Lois Gibson, Olive Holmes, Dorothy Linfield, Marion Linfield, Lucia Ryder, Eleanor Scanlon and Marion Todd, join in wishing the entire school and faculty a most pleasant vacation. ALPHA TAU DELTA The Alpha Tau Delta Sorority began its activities in October with an informal party held at the home of Miss Edith Lofgren. The officers elected for the year were: Dorothy M. Sprague, president; Gertrude H. Tracey, vice-president; Edith Lofgren, secretary, and Elsie Estabrook, treasurer. During the year seven members were taken into the sorority. Six parties were held at the homes of the different members. The sorority wishes to extend to the members of the faculty and the high school body a most enjoyable vacation. DELTA SIGMA PHI The Delta Sigma Phi Sorority was organized during the last of Janu- ary, 1922, and has been most successful. On March 17 a St. Patrick’s dinner party was held at the home of the president. After a much enjoyed dinner an entertainment was given by some of the members and was followed by dancing. In April, a party was held at the home of one of the members, where the girls were entertained by music and dancing. During the May vacation they went on an all-day picnic. Many sports were enjoyed by all. The girls wish the faculty and members of the school a pleasant vaca- tion. One Hundred Forty-live iGtfe at We entered as meek little “Freshies, Prepared to live and learn, And gazed with awe at the Seniore, Who seemed so strict and stern. Next we returned as Sophomores, And felt so very smart, We entered into everything, And gladly did our part. Then we came back as Juniors Resolved to stand the test, So that the year we’d graduate, They’d say our class was best. And then when we were Seniors Days went so swiftly by It seemed as if we couldn’t bear To leave our dear old High. Four years we wandered happily Through the halls of the S. H. S., Each class, each room grew dearer, As the days to remain grew less. We face with fear the future When without its sheltering walls, We must meet alone life’s problems, And answer alone life’s calls. Just stop and think for a moment, Of the days that we’ve spent here, Days full of fun and study, Of lessons and good cheer. Ah! dear old S. H. S., You’ve daily grown more dear, Your memory’ll dwell within our hearts For many a coming year. OLIVE E. HOLMES, ’22. One Hundred Forty-Mix THE SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA ORCHESTRA The officers of the Somerville High School Orchestra for its eleventh season (1921-22) were: Lawrence Daggett, Conductor; Hilding Pearson, Concert Master; Miss Elizabeth Newton, Secretary; Miss Ida Duchin, Librarian, and Miss Hurd, of the Faculty, Treasurer. During the past year the orchestra has given three concerts—one for the benefit of the Eastern Junior High School; one assisted by Miss Gladys MacKaye, soprano soloist, and the annual concert, assisted by the Girls and Bovs’ Glee Clubs. The full orchestra has also played at a school con- cert given by the MacDowell Quartette and for Parents’ Night. Smaller groups selected from the orchestra have played on several occasions, in- cluding school assemblies, two mass meetings of the Somerville Church Men’s Union, a teachers’ reception, the Somerville Teachers’ Club, a reading by Edward Guest, the poet, for the benefit of the Radcliffe Endowment Fund; the Chandler Shorthand Convention in Fenway Theatre, and the operetta, “Princess Chrysanthemum,” given by the Girls’ Glee Club.

The boys have responded with fine spirit to all the requests which have been made of them. The thought that our work has been appreciated gives us a feeling of great satisfaction, which is enough reward for our labors; incidentally we have gained much experience in concert singing, which will, no doubt, be of use to us in later years. After our reorganization last October, with twenty-four members, we made our first appearance at the concert given by the orchestra and glee clubs for the benefit of the Southern Junior High School. Since then we have taken part in three school activities, singing on the evening of the parents’ reception, at the assembly commemorating death of General Grant, April 27, and at the annual concert of the orchestra May 26; we have also sung at one outside engagement. As the season draws to a close our minds are turned to the prospects of our club next year. We lose but five members this year, one of whom is the leader, which will necessitate the filling of that office. Nevertheless, with nineteen experienced singers and promising material for a new leader, the club is in fine shape for reorganization in the Fall. Much appreciation is extended to Mr. Avery and Mr. McVey who, by their suggestions early in the year, made possible our success. HAROLD P. FREEMAN, Leader.

A public rehearsal for the Junior High Schools was held on the after- noon of January 19. Harry Hurley, stage manager; Stanley Teele, property man, and Clarabel Benjamin, electrician, took charge back of the scenes in a pro- fessional manner.

It was written by Lincoln Hig- gins and Robert MacPhail, members of the graduating class, and was dedi- cated to “Our friend and head-master, Mr. John A. Avery.” The cast of characters was as follows: Hawkins (butler in the Cope- land residence), Henry 0. Hanslick; Julia Copeland (Mr. Copelands daughter), Lydia C. Marvin; Mr. Harold Chadwick (engaged to Miss Cope- land), Lincoln C. Higgins; Mr. John Copeland (successful business man), Robert B. MacPhail; Mr. George Stratton (Mr. Copeland’s secretary), James H. Keane; Mr. Richard Channing (Mr. Copeland’s business rival), Ernest H. Wilson. Prologue by Robert M. Stevens. The scene was laid in the residence of Mr. John Copeland, a successful business man, who attempted to gain happiness through the medium of his fortune, but was unsuccessful. Unr Hundred I lf ty-sevwu S nriPty RADIATOR DANCE The Radiator staff agreed that they would hold a dance, where everyone could have some fun and laugh and maybe “prance.” And so upon an afternoon when all was bright and sunny, the pupils crowded in the door and gladly paid their money. They danced and danced and danced some more and everyone seemed happy. The orchestra was very good, the music bright and snappy. And when at last at five o’clock we had to leave the hall, we all agreed that the time we’d had was the very best of all. STCDEXT COCXCIL DANCE Our learned Student Council held a learned student dance, where only learned pupils came and danced a learned prance. The learned music was so good (it had a learned snap) that every learned teacher felt his learned feet “tap, tap.” So the learned teachers danced and the learned pupils, too, and they indulged in conversation as most learned people do. So the learned dance was ended and the learned people went, and the learned Student Council felt the afternoon well spent. One 11 ii ml rc«l Fifty-eight SOPHOMORE DANCE The “Sophies” thought they’d hold a dance one breezy afternoon. Their mothers said that they could come if they would leave quite soon. The little things were so excited for days they got no rest, and when at last the day ar- rived they came dressed in their best. They looked so very cunning as they all danced to and fro. You could find no brighter faces, though you searched both high and low. They had a grand and glorious time that day from two till five—a time no “Sophie” will forget as long as he’s alive. ■$k wn, i am, Wf� £ TEH Minuies . CATC N«v H THE 5OPHMOZE DANCE. JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Play was best of all the things we had this year. It was so full of life and pep it filled us all with cheer. “Bashful Mr. Bobbs” was the name of the play, and when asked if it were good we ne’er heard a “nay.” The acting throughout was considered sub- lime, and everyone present had a wonderful time. We danced and we danced until eleven forty-five, and one and all went home at last much more dead than alive. One Hundred Fifty-nine OPERETTA “PR IXCESS ( 11RYSANT! EM I’M” With charming music, song, and dance, they held an Operetta. The Metropolitan itself could not have played it better. The singing was truly marvelous, each note rose true and high. We know that fu- ture opera stars dwell here in Som- erville High. The costumes, scenes and settings all seemed so very quaint, and each girlie seemed so pretty she scarcely needed paint. And after all was over there arose a mighty cheer, For the S. H. S. Girls’ Glee Club that had shone so brightly here. .JUNIOR NIGHT The Juniors came from far and near to attend their Junior Night. They wan- dered in at eight o’clock when the moon was shining bright. Those that were present had the time of their lives, for the whole entertainment proved to be a surprise. The “Junior Frolics” were indeed a work of art and in “Not on the Program” every person played his part. To make the night a big success every Junior did his best, and when at last they journeyed home they had earned a good night’s rest. OUNfsRHptr. Oor Hundred Sixty SENIOR NIGHT Our Senior Night was last of all and ended up the year. The turkey filled our Seniors up with lots be- side good cheer. The girls were dressed all in their best, in evening gowns so pretty; and back and forth flew song and joke and “hit” and foolish ditty. Our history was given, our prophecy was told. Our prophet grasped his courage and spoke out good and bold. And after all was over each Senior heaved a sigh. Our Senior days were over; we had reached “sweet bye and bye.” SENIOR H)GHf I beg you one and all, dear friends, Not to criticise these “pomes,” For I’m not an Oliver Wendell Though my last name may be Holmes.

High School, playing football, baseball and was on the track team. After graduating from high school he went to Phillips Exeter and Dean Academies. In 1912-1913 he attended Colby; here as at Phillips Exeter and Dean Academies he was quarterback on the football team, and obtained the position as captain of the relay and hockey teams. After staying a while at Colby he transferred to Springfield to take a course in physical directing. Mr. Ayer made good in every form of sports and in football became Maine’s star quarterback. At baseball he played left and centrefield; on the track team he was considered a dashing relay man and at hockey played centre. “Dutch” Ayer became so proficient in athletics that he became phys- ical director or coach, and in some places both; at the following colleges, schools and universities: Coached Concord (N. H.) High School for two years, Norwich University one year, coach and athletic director of Holyoke High School for one year ; athletic director and coach at Portland Naval Station during the war, director of physical training and athletics of New York State in 1919, director of athletics and recreation at Greenfield (Mass.) Tap and Dye Corporation, and in 1920 was athletic coach of Boston University. The school owes “Dutch” Ayer a vote of thanks for his splendid work in shaping the football team and producing the first-class baseball team. He has also shown his knowledge of the track as shown by the fine showing of the fellows of the track team. One II iiiKlreil Sivly-i-inlil TRACK TEAM BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL Captain Frank Crandell. “Hick” Crandell, captain of this year’s baseball team and veteran of three years, has shown fine work in holding down his position at first base. Stewart Wickerson. “Lefty” Wickerson, star twirler of the Red and Blue, is keeping up his last year’s record on his number of strikeouts. Daniel McFayden. “Danny” McFayden, a sophomore, is following close in Wickerson’s stride, for in making his debut in the Cambridge Latin game he made good by retiring fifteen men. “Danny” is expected to fill “Lefty’s” shoes next year. William Harrington. “Bill” Harrington, a sophomore, is playing a wonderful game as catcher. Francis Downey. “Hank” Downey, catcher, is handling “Lefty’s” fast ones in great style. Robert Buckley. “Bob” Buckley, regular centre fielder and veteran of two years, is proving his worth by his fast playing and his batting average. Reynold Currier. “Ren” Currier, regular left fielder and veteran of four years, is back with all his speedy running and his hard hitting. Charles Campbell. “Red” Campbell, regular second baseman and veteran of two years, is holding down his bag like a big leaguer. Edward Jeremiah. “Ed” Jeremiah, playing shortstop is protecting his position by some fine plays. John Maguire. “Jack” Maguire, catcher and veteran of two years, is doing fine work in stopping men from crossing the plate. Robert Stevens. “Bob” Stevens, regular third baseman, is putting over some plays that are seldom seen in the Suburban League games. Herbert Sprague. “Herb” Sprague, right fielder, is always prominent by his ability to hit the ball. Roy Stroebeck. Roy Stroebeck, right fielder, is getting every ball that comes into his territory. One Hundred Seventy-one SOMERVILLE vs. NEWTON Buckley hits a two-bagger. Second Inning, Currier scores SOMERVILLE vs. NEWTON Crandell making first base. First Inning One Hundred Seventy-two SOMERVILLE vs. MALDEN Marmaud of Somerville scoring a touchdown SOMERVILLE vs. MALDEN Blackman of Somerville skirts Malden’s left end for a substantial gain One Hundred Seventy-three FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL Owing to delay on the part of the school board in choosing a coach the team received a serious setback. Working with one coach one day and with another the next, made many of the fellows feel downhearted, and by the time “Dutch” Ayer took them in hand they all felt like quitting. We all owe much thanks to Coach Ayer for the way he trained our fellows. Although he did not produce a championship team, he had one to be proud of. A team to be proud of is not always the one that is winning but the one that is always fighting. Daniel Kelliher. “Danny” Kelliher, captain of the football team, and veteran of three years, was chosen as the All Interscholastic left end. One of “Danny's” sayings, “that he always got his man.” Robert MacPhail. “Bob” MaePhail, regular right half and veteran of three years, won much merit by his ability of making end runs. Robert Buckley. “Bob” Buckley, regular left half and veteran of three years, came into the limelight by his fast running and line plunging. James Marmaud. “Jimmy” Marmaud, regular fullback and veteran of two years, was mentioned in the papers many times for his tearing through the opposing line for touchdowns. Ernest Sandstrom. “Ernie” Sandstrom, regular left tackle and veteran of two years, re- ceived much credit by his drop kicking and his hard work. Joseph Calderoni. “Joe” Calderoni, regular left guard and veteran of two years, did much to help the team by his covering and dropping the runner in his tracks. Francis Sullivan. Sullivan, regular right guard, was always plugging and when not plugging he was opening up holes in the opposing line. Charles Campbell. “Red” Campbell, regular centre and a veteran of two years, was noted for his stonewall defence and his ability of making a hole in the opposing line. Robert McKelvey. “Bob” McKelvey, regular right tackle and a veteran of two years, re- ceived much merit by always coming through in a pinch. Leo Fermoyle. Fermoyle, regular right end, always stopped his man without any thought of himself. Quarterbacks “Whit” Goodwin, Henry Blackman and “Bob” Shea, quarterbacks of the team, should be long remembered by their fast playing and clean-cut signals. One Hundred Seventy-live HOCKEY TEAM HOCKEY Captain Herbert Dresser. “Hub” Dresser, captain and right wing of the hockey squad, was chosen as the All Interscholastic right wing. Morris Roberts. “Mush” Roberts, the Somerville High School goal defender for the past two years, was chosen as the All Interscholastic goal-tend. Frank Crandell. “Hick” Crandell, veteran of two years at left wing, was prominent in all games by speedy skating and fast playing. Jeremiah O’Neil. “Jerry” O’Neil, centre for two years, received much praise by the newspapers for his fine playing. Daniel McFayden. “Danny” McFayden, regular right defence, was always prominent in a pinch. He will be captain of next year’s team. Edward Jeremiah.

Meetings and practice were held every day and the boys were getting into fine form. Blackman, running broad jump, 220 yards in fast time. Stackpole, dash and distance. Fraser, middle distances. Fuller, one-half mile. Sandstrom, Marmaud, Coyle, shot-put. One Hundred Seventy-seven GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM GIRLS’ BASKETBALL At a meeting of the Girls’ Athletic Association held at the beginning of the year 1921-1922 the following officers were elected: Elizabeth Pike, president; Grace Figved, vice-president; and Thelma Moss, secretary. There have been various activities of interest to all. A great number came out for basketball and much enthusiasm was shown. The girls prac- ticed every Wednesday and Thursday at the Bingham School gymnasium. Class teams were formed: a Senior team, Elizabeth Pike, captain: a Junior team, Inez Comstock, captain; and a Sophomore team, Bessie Smith, captain. Several interesting games were played, the Seniors winning from the Juniors by the score of 21 to 16, the Seniors winning from the Alumni by the score of 28 to 18, and losing one to the Alumni by the score of 13 to 12. Miss Porter is owed much thanks for her fine work with the girls in their different forms of athletics. The following Senior girls were awarded letters: Emily Day, Frances Murphy, Josephine Pen Dell, Florence Wilkins, Vera Whitman and Eliza- beth Pike. The Association has made a good start toward success, and we hope to see still greater progress. RINDGE vs. SOMERVILLE. Twas an afternoon in good old May, The air was crisp and clear; While huddled in the grandstand, We gave the S. H. cheer, Aye, how well do I remember, How in that day of yore We had a pitchers’ battle, As ne’er was seen before. How Wicky for the Red and Blue, In regard to hits allowed but two, Pitched strike on strike, and out on out, But Somerville not a run could clout. The score was one for the opponent’s side, ’Twas the last weak chance the ball to ride; My heart went down as Captain Hick Wielded weak and slow the wooden stick. He hit the ball but an out was made, ’Twas there that our hopes began to fade, Bob Stevens then singled to the long grass, Wickerson flied out and Currier passed. Then to the bat with mighty stride, After looking around at Alice Pride, Stepped Herbie Sprague, Two out it was and ’twas up to him. The pitcher threw and Herbie swung, He hit the ball and to first he run, The men on first and second sack Tore for home like a hounding pack, And then, would miracles never cease, Ren Currier slid and ruined the crease In his baseball pants, and Herb was safe on first— Hooray, the game was WON.

Last evening about eleven o'clock as Ar- thur Woodworth, our esteemed butcher, was returning to his mag- nificent mansion on Somerville avenue, af- ter having looked over the calves at Waldron's Casino, in spite of the warning sign which said that the bridge was unsafe for more ; than a ten-ton load, he caved in the planks of ■ the bridge at the foot 1 of Central Hill. Unfor- tunately a train was passing under the bridge at the moment and Mr. Woodworth's gigantic body crashed through the roof of the train, instantly killing three passengers among whom we regret to say was Israel Goldstein, the traveling salesman for Stanley’s Radiators. : More would have been 1 killed but for the pres- ence of mind of Law- rence Daggett, the con- ductor. who hurled Whitman Phillips, the ambassador to West Medford, and Lincoln Higgins. the prima- donna, through a win- dow, and. as they landed on their heads, no injury resulted. New Gymnasium Completed. Dedication Today. After twenty-five years of expectation the students of Somerville High School will wit- ness the dedication of the new magnificent gymnasium. The gym- nasium is a huge fire- proof structure of wood and its one story com- pletely dwarfs the buildings near by. Al- though the approach to the gymnasium is some- what obstructed by dwellings in front of it. the “gym” can always be entered by a side door. The swimming pool is ten feet in length and its four fe-;t of depth provides ample space for diving. There are as yet no dumb-bells in the “gym” but this lack will be filled as soon as the pupils com- mence to use the build- ing. The dedication of the gymnasium to Charles Campbell, the most brilliant scholar that ever attended the school and who died of overstudy. will take place at three o'clock and an address will be given by Carrol Hill, principal of the School.

Arthur Swenson. was over- powered in his sleep. The cashier. Harold Quail, is missing and it is suspected by the famous sleuth. Herbert Sprague, that he stole the fortune. Rumor hath it that Quail con- tracted his propensity for theft at the Somer- ville High School, where he was treasurer of the Class of 1922. but this was emphatically de- nied by Mrs. Quail (nee Kennedy), who stated that Quail never had any money while in High School.
