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.

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.
