Seniors, this is your year! The year you have been working toward for two long years. Make the most of it! Join the Debating So- cieties, the Orchestra, the Glee Clubs or any of the various organizations of the school. Get into something. Do something. And above all, Seniors, keep up your studies. 1923 has not been noted for its high standard in studies. Let’s turn over a new leaf and make this senior class the best that ever graduated from Somerville High School. The class of 1922 was a remarkable class in many respects other than size. It had school spirit and class spirit to a remarkable extent. It backed every activity to the limit and this readily accounts for 1922’s enviable record of achievement. 1923, we have a standard to live up to and if possible, to surpass. It is a high standard in- deed, but will 1923 admit that 1922 was su- perior not only in quantity but in quality? If not, get a little of 1922’s enthusiasm and spirit, and achieve this year on a larger scale than any previous class. The Radiator needs stories, good, -clever stories. This is one field in which, the .under- classes can take equal part with the seniors. It is an honor to have a story accepted. Re- gard it as such. It takes brains to write a good short story. Show us that you have the brains. If you aspire to a place on the Radiator your senior year, bring your name signed to a good story to our attention. It will help. We publish, as our leading article this month, an account of an honored graduate of the Somerville High School. We appreciate Miss Spaulding’s kindness in granting our re- quest for permission to publish her record. She has brought honor to the school. We point to her record with pride, and commend it for inspiration and example to the present students of the school. “Yea ho! Blow the man down!” If the boys had as much enthusiasm plus good tone in the music hour, wouldn’t Mr. McVey be startled. The Radiator extends its congratulations to the various newly-elected class officers and assures them of its co-operation. We are very pleased to print in this issue a picture of the Technology buildings at which so many Somerville graduates have matricu- lated. 219152 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ALICE HOWARD SPAULDING After graduating in the first class to receive diplomas from Somerville English High School, Alice Howard Spaulding, 1896, entered Tufts College. While at Tufts, Miss Spaulding was active in the musical organizations, in the Alpha Kappa Gamma Sorority, and was the second president of the All Round Club, an as- sociation of girls intended to further the in- terests of all girls irrespective of sorority lines. At her graduation in 1900 Miss Spaulding re- ceived the degree of A. B., with highest honors in French, and honorable mention in English and music, and she composed the music for the Class Ode. The next September Miss Spaulding was first and only assistant in the High School in Edgartown, Mass., where she taught English, Latin, French, German, Astronomy and Geol- ogy,—after the fashion of novices in the pro- fession. The next year she accepted a posi- tion in the Fitchburg High School as teacher of English and Latin. She remained there for 7 three years, leaving to accept a similar posi- tion in the Brookline High School, where she has taught ever since. Miss Spaulding has been at the head of the English department in Brookline for ten years, during which time the department has grown from four teachers to thirteen. During this time also, Miss Spaulding has studied at Rad- cliffe, and been granted the degree of A. M. She has been closely associated with the 47 Workshop since its founding. She has lec- tured frequently before women’s clubs on sub- jects connected with the theatre and drama. In addition she has for three summers con- ducted courses in drama, play production and play writing at the Summer School of English at Middlebury College, located at Bread Loaf, Vermont. Here she has been associated with such well-known writers as Grace Hazard Conkling, Robert Frost, Willa Cather. The plan of having weekly assemblies with an outside speaker is to be continued this year. Not all the school will hear each speaker but certain groups will be called to the hall each week. The assemblies are an aid to edu- cation. A broadening influence, a glimpse of other sides of life, a breaking down of the lines of a school boy or girl’s narrow world. All this is education. Somerville is represented by a light fighting football team. They have the spirit and deter- mination to win. They may be defeated, but there is the glory and honor of a clean, hard- fought game even in defeat. The student body of Somerville High School apparently does not take this view. It is extremely difficult to get a cheer when the team is losing. 1923, change this. Appear at games and cheer for the team. It’s your first and best chance to show you’re alive as a senior class. 1924, give us a glimpse of what you’re going to do next year. 1925, start in the right direction by getting school spirit now. ic :s?3 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Two Roads By Kenneth A. MacLeod, 1923. OUR ideas of success may sound very well to a dreamer, but this hard, cold world has no room for the foolish theories of an idealist. Only too late, when you are old, and poverty holds you in its iron grasp, will you realize the truth of my state- ments ’ sneered young Anthony Davison as he addressed James Grant, one of his classmates, while they slowly crossed the campus of a small Western college in which they were both mem- bers of the senior class. Davison turned and regarded his companion with a long, steady glance before he answered. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” he finally returned half humorously. “However, I wish you the best of luck.” With that the two parted, each starting off in his own direction. And in truth it was a final parting, for it marked the point where each was to follow his own chosen path in life in guest of success and prosperity. Davison was soon to enter his father’s great manufacturing establishment of Howland Davison. Grant was intending to pursue a medical course. It was seventeen years later. In the clear, cool air of an early morning of July, just as the sun rose above the dull rolling stretches of the great plains, the “Imperial Limited,” a long train of heavy cars, slowly drew into the sta- tion in a small group of plain, dun-colored buildings that form the village of Bassano, Al- berta. As she came to a full stop a tall, heav- ily-built man of some forty years stepped from the train and slowly paced up and down the platform, idly watching some cow-punchers en- gaged in loading cattle on cars nearby. He had an exceptionally strong face with well- shaped, regular features, yet a curious, cruel glint in his grey eyes, and a cynical sneer that curled his lips gave him a rather cold and re- pulsive appearance. He was dressed in finely- tailored clothes of fashionable cut and ap- peared to be a man of wealth and good social standing. “Hello, Davison! I hardly expected to see you here,” said a voice behind him. The man whirled in his tracks and regarded the other with a cold, appraising glance. He beheld a man of about his own age, of middle height, broad shouldered and muscular, who wore a plain brown suit of rough texture and a broad- brimmed grey felt hat, that somewhat shaded his deeply-tanned face. “Don’t you know me, Davison, old boy?” he asked, as he cordially extended his hand to the other. “I guess I do,” answered the other laconi- cally, as he took the proffered hand, “yet I hardly expected to find you out here.” And as he looked at Grant an expression of ill-con- cealed contempt appeared on his features that did not escape unnoticed. “From appearances I should judge that you have prospered,” remarked Grant, as the two walked along the platform together. “Yes, the world gives freely to all those who are determined to win. That has been the slogan of my life and in it I have found suc- cess, and all that success implies, power, wealth, luxury and social position. You always stubbornly argued against my ideas, Grant, but from appearances I think that you should see your error now.” “Oh, no!” countered the other. “It is true,” with a glance at his shabby clothes, “that I may appear somewhat under the weather, but appearances are sometimes deceitful, you know. It is true that I lack wealth and luxury, yet I feel that I am getting infinitely more out of life at the present time than yourself.” “Yet you foolishly remain in this dilapidated town that forms but a veritable dot on the sur- rounding prairie and waste your life among ignorant farmers and ranchers, while in an eastern city where you could move in high social circles you could gain fame and a good income,” returned Davison sarcastically. “For my services here I receive sufficient means to secure a comfortable living and also to save a little for the proverbial rainy day. As 1 travel on my rounds over these measureless plains with their waving fields of wheat or as I look over the wide stretches of open range with their herds of grazing cattle, and the more I come in contact with the rugged race of real men and women that inhabit this ter- ritory, the greater is my fascination for the country and the greater is my appreciation of what life holds in store for me. I may never achieve fame in the sense to which you allude, but 1 have already gained the respect and friendship of hundreds of rugged outdoor men, scattered all the way from Moose Jaw to Rev- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 elstoke, that I prize higher than the shallow, hypocritical friendships of society, and the empty honors of being a society doctor. Of course if I felt that I would be more useful in a city I should go there immediately, for a man’s abode should be in that place where the call of duty is the strongest; however, I am firmly convinced that this is my post of duty, so here I shall remain. Many of the men are rough and uneducated and like all human beings have their faults, but at heart they are as fine a class of men as one might wish to meet. I am indeed well satisfied with my lot.” Just then the warning cry of “B-o-o-o-o-rd” rang out, so with a hasty handshake and a parting shot of, “You’ll see your mistake yet, Grant,” the men parted; Davison boarded the moving train and was soon whirled out of sight. Two years later we again see Anthony Davi- son, this time aboard a great trans-Atlantic liner bound for New York. He sits at a table in the smoking room with a few friends at a card game in which he has been steadily win- ning, for great stacks of chips lie piled in front of him. His cold, expressionless face betrays no emotion, and yet, to a keen observer, there might appear an underlying air of suppressed satisfaction and triumph. In the deep com- fortably upholstered chairs around them other men are calmly enjoying their evening smoke and all is quiet save for the steady throbbing of the ship’s engines. A breeze entering the open windows dispels the heat of a hot August evening, and the atmosphere seems to fairly radiate with luxurious comfort and security. But suddenly the evening stillness is broken by a muffled crash followed by a vibrating jar; a moment later the throbing pulsations of the engines cease. Yet there is now no alarm, for after a momentary expression of inquiry, the men proceed with their game and all remains quiet. But soon hurried footsteps are heard outside, excited exclamations and deep-voiced commands are heard; a moment later the in- candescent lights wavered and went out, leav- ing the room in darkness. In hurried con- fusion all the men struggle to gain the deck. Davison, once outside, saw that the deck was crowded and that several boats had already been swung out on the davits and were rapidly being filled and lowered away. The crowd was excited but orderly and boat after boat was ouickly loaded to capacity and successfully launched. The ship soon began to keel over to port, considerably so. In spite of all haste only four starboard boats were launched be- fore the list became so great that it was im- possible to lower boats from that side of the ship. Consequently the now thoroughly- alarmed passengers all wildly sought the port side of the vessel, where they were sternly held in check by officers with drawn revolvers. Davison stood with his back against the steel wall of the deckhouse and watched the slowly retreating boats as they moved over the moon- lit water. A sudden stark fear of death was gripping him and he was rapidly losing his nerve, for his face was deathly pale and his lips were twitching convulsively. But soon the creaking of falls was heard overhead and the trim white hull of No. 12 port boat slowly ap- peared above and stopped at the level of the deck. “Women and children first” is the com- mand and with cold drops of perspiration standing out on his forehead Davison franti- cally watches the rapid loading of the boat. In desperation he stepped quickly forward to the rail, but in an instant the ugly muzzle of a Colt automatic was staring him in the face and he was sternly ordered to stand back. “But sir, I am Anthony Davison, president of the great concern of Howland Davison, I must—” began Davison with a weak attempt at bluster. “I don’t care who you are, you must await your turn and if you don’t stay back in your place I’ll bore you through,” returned the offi- cer savagely, as he covered Davison with his gun. No. 12 was soon filled and lowered away, and was followed quickly by 11, 10 and 9, the only remaining port boats, and yet there were still hundreds of frantic passengers left aboard the sinking vessel. Davison stood near the stern of the vessel leaning against the rail, staring down into the ominous black depths of the water below. The whole course of his life seemed to pass before his mind in a picture and the haunting recollections of his greed and cruelty now con- fronted him with glaring clearness, and in his agony of mind a deep groan escaped his lips and he vainly gripped the rail with a vice-like tenacity. The vessel continued to keel over farther and farther to port, the ominous hiss of steam arose from below, a series of muffled dull reports rang out, and above prayers, curses and choking sobs were heard as the terror- stricken victims awaited the end. Finally, with a faltering quiver, followed by a mighty plunge of the doomed, the ship disappears forever be- neath the waves. (Continued on Page 13.) 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “To The Swift . . By Richard J. Walsh, 1923 T was the eve of the big Thanks- giving Day game. In all parts of of the great city were the hilari- ous supporters of the rival col- leges, Trenton and Rathtun, which, on the morrow, would fight for what practically was the championship of the United States, for they had smothered all their other rivals, each in its own way, Trenton with its widely-known steam roller “system’' and a wealth of material from which to choose, Rath- tun, mainly through the efforts of Bob Spence, its captain, and the grit and ability of the small squad representing the little, unheard of col- lege. Rathtun had not been able to afford a coach, but the team’s victories were being at- tended with financial success and the Athletic Association was considering . . . “There’s Sam Alton,” said the hotel clerk, who was condescending to talk with Spence, whom everyone else was seeking in order that they might off-handedly remark to their friends later: ‘Oh, yes, I was talking to Bob be- fore the game’; the clerk who had—by his own affirmation, at least,—talked with many Presi- dents of the United States, was too lofty to seek this vulgar honor, hence the condescen- sion, continuing with his conversation. “He was the All-American quarterback who made such a name for himself at Princeton. He’s had a hard time, sick for months, lost his job, and gradually lost his grip, till now,—well, he does what odd jobs he can. He’s bringing up a small brother, too. In spite of all his troubles he’s still interested in football. He always comes in to see the visiting teams. I suppose it brings back the days when he used to arrive with his team for the big game. Whenever he can scrape together the price he goes to the games. This year, I guess, he hasn’t enough to celebrate the day by eating, much less buying a ticket.” Now Bob Spence was naturally kind-hearted, so, when he looked at the man designated, the first thing he noticed was that the former player was clothed rather lightly for such a chilly evening. Bob also had that valuable ad- junct to a kind heart—tact. It is not surpris- ing, then, that he drifted casually over to Alton, introduced himself, and drew that pleas- antly-surprised individual into a discussion of football. During the conversation, in which the two men became quite friendly, Mr. Alton amazed Bob hy his wonderful knowledge of the game, which showed his football brain to be as great and active as ever. Bob Spence was a great quarterback because he knew how to use his brain as well as his body. After he had received some remarkably sound advice from the once famous, but now forgotten, quarterback, this brain of his went rapidly into action. Before he bade Alton good night he invited him to see the morrow’s game on the sidelines with the Rathtun team, and to give them such a talk before the game as he had just heard. Spence recognized gen- ius when he saw it. Sam Alton jumped at the chance to mix once more in the football atmos- phere. Before Bob went to bed he sent a tele- gram . . . “Boys, first of all, be game! Trenton out- weighs you. You’ve got to fight from whistle to whistle in order to have a chance, not to mention victory. And Captain Spence, watch your team. If a man is injured or tired re- place him, no matter who he is. Remember, a good, fresh man always outplays an injured or tired one. Your only hope is speed, so when a man begins to slow down the team send him out. As both captain and acting coach you have a tremendous responsibility on your shoulders. Your school trusts you to prove worthy of it. Show it that it’s right!” No one would have recognized the speaker as the inconspicuous, humble Mr. Alton of yes- terday. Once more he was the “great Sam Alton,” tense and excited with that thrilling uncertainty which pervades every locker room before an important game. The great game began. The harder and more spirited playing of the light Rathtun team was manifest from the outset, but even that, while smothering the Trenton advance, availed for naught when it came to carrying the ball. Bob Spence ran his team like the ex- pert he was, selecting plays carefully, and sub- stituting players when he thought it neces- sary. Early in the third quarter he began to feel a pain in his leg, which slowed his playing until he found it hard to keep pace with the other fleet backs. “I ought to go out, I suppose,” he argued to himself, “but this is my last game, it’s my last chance in college.” (Continued on Page 12.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 11 THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL This is to serve as a statement of the aims and ideals of the Council and as a plea for “Honor and Progress.” For the benefit of first-year pupils we will give a brief summary of the Council’s organi- zation. The Students’ Council consists of the four officers of all three classes: Floor proc- tors, elected by the room proctors and serving as their head, and two members of the faculty, Mr. Mahoney and Miss Browne. The president of the Senior Class automatically becomes the president of the Council. All members- have full and equal privileges of debate and voting. The wide scope of the Council’s activities may be shown by a general resume of last year’s business. The Council adopted a plan for better filing to relieve the congestion in the corridors, conducted assemblies, assisted in campaigns, acted as a reception committee and ushers at school functions. The Council does not desire to manage the affairs or to dictate the policies of the school. In truth it possesses only the power of sug- gestion to the headmaster and influence among the students. All achievements of the Council have resulted from the co-operation of the students and the faculty. The Council aims to be the connecting link between the head- master, the faculty, and the student body. To upper classmen: You are familiar with the work that the Council has done. Help and carry through its plans in the future as loyally and well as you have done in the past. To first-year students: Become acquainted and interested in the activities of the Council. To the entire student body as a whole: Choose as your proctors, those whom you believe best fitted to carry on the work of the Council. Always regard the Council as YOUR organi- zation, formed to look after YOUR welfare and striving for the best interest of YOUR school. Receive and carry out its suggestions, knowing that they have been offered by a body com- posed of YOUR classmates, attempting to solve YOUR school problems. THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Once again, with the opening number of the Radiator, football and other school activities are enthusiastically reviewed and planned and equally as enthusiastically read. But there is another part of the school life which pertains to the cultural side—books—which ought also to be viewed with a great deal of interest by the student body. As our school library is typical of many other libraries in the country—and we hope it is a little better than most—it is fitting here to mention the first public library in the United States. It is quite generally known that Benjamin Franklin established the first public library. The circumstances, however, are interesting, and may be found in the “Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.” Franklin belonged to a club in Philadelphia called the Junto Club in which was held many discussions under various topics. The members collected all their books in the clubroom to aid in reference work, but the books did not receive proper care and the plan was soon abandoned. However, it pro- duced an idea in Franklin’s mind, and in 1731 he began subscriptions for the first public li- brary. From this small beginning has followed the countless libraries scattered over our land, even our own much prized Somerville Public Library. Of this latter we are privileged to have a branch within our High School with a librarian who gives aid and instruction in its use. Each Sophomore English class is required to spend one period a week in the library to receive instruction from the librarian on the general use of the library. Miss Woodbury, our school librarian, is now devoting all of her time to the school, having been employed by the school department in- stead of on part time by the Public Library. Here is a list of books the librarian recom- mends:— The Honorable Peter Stirling, by Ford. The Light That Failed, Kipling. Colonel Carter of Cartersville, F. H. Smith. Monsieur Beaucaire, Tarkington. The Virginian, Wister. How many have you read? Dorothy Obear. 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR With Members of the Faculty This Summer R. AVERY took many auto trips and toured New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Mr. Tuttle made an extended automobile trip through New Hampshire, Maine and Quebec, including visits to the White Mountains, St. Anne de Beaupre, Mon- treal and Lake Champlain. Mrs. Topliff visited Philadelphia and Valley Forge. Mrs. Card enjoyed a seven-weeks’ camping trip in the wilds of Canada. She lived in a tent, traveled by canoe, cooked over a campfire and in general lived the simple life. Miss Welch made the trans-Atlantic trip in company with Miss Porter and Miss Giles. Their tour included Holland, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and the battlefields of France. Mr. Hosmer was at Ocean Park, Maine, and there enjoyed a new experience, deep sea fish- ing. One seven-pound pollock caught in a morning’s work. Miss Lyle spent five weeks in lumber camps on shores of the Bay of Fundy where there was but one train a day and Indians were a com- mon sight. Miss Saunders made a five-weeks’ trip through the White Mountains and Canada. She climbed Mt. Washington in a Dodge car. Miss Burnham toured the West, taking in Yellowstone Park, Rocky Mountain Park and Glacier Mountain Park. At the latter she en- joyed some horse-back riding. Mr. Plantinga spent the summer at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Miss Harvey was at summer school at the University of Maine. Mr. Sears spent the summer on a farm in Charlemont, four miles from the Mohawk Trail. Miss Joel took an automobile trip through New York and the Great Lake region. Miss Bell studied psychology at Harvard, specializing in character analysis and mental gymnastics. Miss Cunningham visited the Catskills and Green Mountains. Miss Brown spent the summer at Penobscot Bay. Miss MacDuflie was in the White Mountains. Mr. Mahoney had complete charge of the Somerville Playgrounds. Miss Teele kept house. Miss Arrington studied at Harvard Summer School. Mr. Colman raised potatoes. Mr. Sprague worked all summer. Mr. Hayward taught summer school. Miss Newborg was at the Ocean View House, Block Island. Mr. De Cellos was at Hampton Beach. Miss Woodbury was at the beach at Quincy, Mass. Miss Bradford played nurse, sketched and drove an automobile. Miss Tuell industriously pursued rest and enjoyed “a book and a sunny nook.” Miss Merrill and Miss Batt spent the sum- mer in Concord and Methuen and incidentally tutored with a Ford Sedan. Both “passed.” “TO THE SWIFT . . ” (Continued from Page 10.) The teams were lined up and Bob called the signal, a quarterback run. He received the ball and sped around the end, with excellent in- terference, five yards—ten yards, finally the goal posts loomed up before him. Then the strained leg began to slow him down, and al- lowed the swift Trenton quarterback to over- take him and bring him down on the ten-yard line by a hard and sure tackle. Bob pulled him- self to his feet, his mind made up. In his heart he knew that, although the Rathtun supporters were wildly cheering his name, he had failed them, for that long run of his which had car- ried the ball to within scoring distance should have carried it to a score. When he had slowed down he had lost the score; had a fresher man been there he would have made it. Probably in the next couple of plays the ball would be pushed over. Well, he had forfeited his chance, Alton was right, he should have given way to a fresher man before. Before the cheering had ceased he walked to the referee and reported quietly, “Spence out,” then jogged to the side lines. The spec- tators were amazed. “Can it be that Spence is quitting, apparently uninjured, merely because he has been tackled hard?” they asked one another. Bob’s face burned. Did they think that he would quit when before him lay the chance for which he had been praying his en- tire college career, of being the cause of a vic- tory over the famous Trenton team. Well, it was all in the game, and — SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Boy,” said Mr. Alton, quietly dropping be- side him, “I’ve seen many a gritty thing done in football, and many a sacrifice made, but yours was the greatest deed and the greatest sacrifice of them all. Your school should and will be proud of you for it. Now,” adopting a more business-like tone, “let’s attend to that leg. I used to have quite a knack with ‘Foot- ball legs.’ ” With this he began massaging Bob’s leg, talking cheerily all the while. “How’s it feel now?” “Much better.” “That’s fine. The game isn’t over yet. That substitute of yours isn’t much of a quarter- back. In two rushes he’s managed to lose ten yards. He—Oh, Lord!” The substitute quarterback had fumbled the ball and a Trenton end, cutting in, had recov- ered it and reached Rathtun’s twenty-yard line before he was downed. Then the quarter ended. “Bob,” exhorted Mr. Alton, in the middle of the last period, “that substitute is worthless, tired out. Go back there and win this game! Remember, it’s the last quarter that you’ll ever play for the college!” Bob dashed out on the field feeling, thanks to the massage and encouragement, as if his leg had never been injured, and that he was precisely the one to win the game. His return put new life into the team. It held so firmly that Trenton was unable to gain an inch through the line and finally resorted to a forward pass. Bob saw it start, leaped for it, and gathered it in on his ten-yard line. He ran wide around the Trenton end as was his favorite way. The Trenton fullback was left far behind, a halfback missed him by inches, the only man near him was the fleet Trenton quar- terback who had outrun and tackled him be- fore. “A-good-fresh-man,” thought Bob grimly as he pounded across the fifty-yard line with his opponent tearing along after him, “can-always- outrun-a-tired-one. I'm-the-fresher-man.” At the ten-yard line the Trenton man, seeing that he could not overtake him, desperately at- tempted a flying tackle—and missed. Bob, un- hindered, swept across the goal line for victory and the fulfilling of his ambition. At the grand impromptu banquet that night, after the team and its guests had cheered themselves hoarse for everything from their captain down to or, rather, up to the head waiter, another thunderous cheer was given when Bob rose and read this telegram:— “Congratulations. Committee voted Alton 1 Q coach in accordance with your recommenda- tion. “Brent, President, Rathtun A. A.” THE TWO ROADS (Continued from Page 0.) The news of the disaster soon reached New York and foremost among the names of those lost appeared the well-known name of Anthony Davison. His great factories were shut down for a whole day in memory of the president, but it was an empty token of respect, for among his under-paid, struggling employees who labored under unhealthy conditions the sneering remark was passed around that it served the old hypocrite right and that his death was good riddance to the world. His wife donned the customary black for a short time in a vain show of grief, but in less than a year she had married again and Davison was forgotten. Shortly after this time Dr. James Grant had a serious accident and was sent to the hospital in Calgary. Although he was given all the at- tention that medical skill could provide, it soon became evident that he had no chance of re- covery, so the sad news was wired to Bassano, where his friends patiently waited for news of the doctor’s condition. On receiving this mes- sage John Ridgedale, one of the leading ranchers of the country and a close friend of Grant, set out at once for Calgary accompanied by young Dr. Morton, of Glerdien. On reaching the city they immediately pro- ceeded to the hospital and were ushered into the presence of their friend, who greeted them with a smile and a pleasant word of wel- come. They were soon seated at the bedside and the attendant kindly left the room so that they might be alone. “Well, boys, I guess that I haven’t much time left now, but at any rate I am satisfied to go. The man who does his best for the welfare of his fellows and for the progress of the world is after all the only really successful man in life. No matter to what heights of apparent glory a man may reach in the attainment of a selfish ambition, it is at best a transitory state that will eventually vanish into oblivion. No continued progress can be secured either in the life of an individual or a nation without a strong respect and devotion to the principles of Honor and Truth. I have always held the motto of ‘Honor and Progress’ as the guide of my life, and while, in many respects, I have fallen far short of the mark, I can truthfully (Continued on Page 17.) 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR m mam An enthusiastic mass meeting was held Friday, October 20, in the interests of the Radi- ator. Stirring addresses were made by Mrs. Topliff and Mr. Hosmer, faculty treasurer of the staff. Donald Miller, S. H. S., 1921, Tufts, 1925, former business manager of the Radiator, and now manager of the Tufts Weekly, came over to help the cause for which he had done so much while in the high school. Mr. Miller plainly showed, not only interest in the Radiator, but power to reach all hearts through that interest; this with “dollar bill” proved a magnet which drew plentiful sub- scriptions. We are greatly indebted to you, Donald, come again. TEA FOR MISS BRADFORD Miss Blanche M. Bradford was recently the guest at a tea given at the Normal Art School. Miss Bradford spoke before the senior teacher class on “The Art Work of the Somerville High School,” and illustrated it with specimens of the work. GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The first meeting of the Girls’ Debating Society was held on October 20, 1922. Mem- bers of the Boys’ Debating Society were judges. We are desirous of increasing the member- ship. All girls are eligible. Seniors: Join this important school activity. Remember you should set a good example. Juniors: Next year you will manage the so- ciety. Prepare now to do it well. Sophs: Now that you are members of the Senior High School, join its societies. This year’s officers are: Kathleen O’Brien, president; Dorothy Obear, vice-president; Grace Figved, secretary: Mrs. Card, faculty. K. H. O’Brien, President. BOYS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The Boys’ Debating Society, hampered by two years of idleness, has the task to regain, this year, the honorable place that it should hold in the school. This is no unfounded state- ment. In the past two years various mis- fortunes have reduced the society from debat- ing supremacy to oblivion, from a powerful or- ganization to a meagre gathering, from the glory gained in achievement to the ridicule found in failure. These years of inaction are past. The same obstacles remain to be sur- mounted by Somerville spirit. Somerville spirit in this case means intelligent support. The coaches and officers are doing more than their share. Plans have been made, and ap- proved by Mr. Avery, for outside debates with prominent schools by a bigger and better Boys’ Debating Society. If the society is not forth- coming neither can the debates be. Every boy of any taste for debating should join and sup- port the society. Think it over. THE SENIOR-JUNIOR PLAY For a long time the feeling has been grow- ing that the annual play of the Somerville High School should be presented by the Senior Class and not by the Junior. This year the first step in the change will be made. The play will be presented by the combined Senior and Junior classes and the proceeds divided evenly between the classes. The try-outs for the play were held October 26 and 30.

I have made many true friends, and I now wish to thank you all for your kindness to me since I came to your country. Remember me to all the old friends and tell them that I have the best wishes for their future prosperity and happiness.” Grant had been speaking in a calm, quiet voice and a patient expression of peace and resignation lighted up his worn features, but hot tears flowed unheeded down the rough, tanned cheeks of the rancher as he huskily re- plied: “It is we who owe the debt, doctor, for ever since you have come among us you have been a mighty force in shaping the progress of our country. We shall all miss you more than words can tell; but we shall strongly endeavor to carry on the work you have begun.” His voice ended in a hoarse whisper and then the room was silent. The attendant entered quietly and said that the patient should have rest, so with a last handshake and goodbye the men slowly left the room.

Captain Blackman won the toss and decided to receive the ball. Smith kicked to McFay- den, who ran it back twenty yards after a few tries at the line. McFayden kicked to Higgins, who ran it back ten yards. Lawrence received first down and Smith took the ball around right end for twenty-five yards. Higgins’ at- tempt to drop kick was blocked and Wells re- covered the ball. Higgins dropped the ball and Chet Mattern recovered it for Somerville. In the second period Somerville took the ball from the 45-yard line to the 18-yard line for two first downs on plunges by Blackman, Wells and McFayden. McFayden then kicked a drop kick from the 25-yard line. Frazer kicked off to Twomey, who, with some fine interference, especially by Smith, ran through the entire Somerville team, and eighty yards for a touch- down. Higgins kicked the goal; the ball then went up and down the field till the game ended.

Cambridge won the toss and kicked to Blackman, who ran it back twenty-five yards. A punting duel followed, McFayden outdistanc- ing Carver every time. Rogers made a fine end run of forty-five yards. McFayden then punted to Fitzgerald, and Mattern tackled him on his 7-yard line. In the second period Davies made ten yards through the line for first down. Carver was then forced to punt. Jere- miah made forty yards on a forward pass to Mattern, and Blackman made ten yards through the line. Cambridge held Somerville on the 3-yard line. On the second play Frazer recovered a fumble and Blackman went over for a touchdown. McFayden kicked the goal, but a Somerville man was offside so the goal did not count. In the last period Somerville fumbled and Cambridge recovered the ball on the 30-yard line. Line rushes by Davies, Casey and Kelliher gave Cambridge two first downs, also it put the ball on Somerville’s 3- yard line. Davies tried four times and in four tries he only gained two feet. Somerville took the ball on the 2-yard line, and Wells kicked to the 40-yard line. Cambridge tried forward passes but Somerville knocked them all down.

Somerville High School three and four teams played Arlington and the stands went wild every time the Ar- lington varsity made a touchdown against Somerville’s smaller team. Somerville’s sec- ond squad gave a good account of themselves by holding the larger team on down and drop- ping them back in their tracks. Griffin got off some good punts and Cronin at right end was down under them in good style. Cole and Mc- Gowan at quarter played a good game, espe- cially as McGowan was laid up with an injury to his leg, he played a good game. Gustin played a good game at centre, blocking all holes through that part of the line. Fay and both Griffin brothers played a good game in the back field.

And as they looked down on the face of the dead, with its calm expression of peace and rest, tears coursed down the cheeks of rough, strong men. This man had ministered to their wants in sickness and trouble. His firm, steady faith had brought joy to many a dying soul and his strong sympathy and wise counsel had supported the sorrowing. He had truly been a friend of the people and even “Blinky” Hammond, the worst gambler and drunkard in the town, reverently bowed his head and said: “I’ll never forget the way he saved my little Nellie’s life five years ago. He always said that I didn’t do justice to my child by the life I led. I’ve been a pretty tough cus- tomer, boys, but with God’s help from now on I’m going to live straight.” 2 STORES'“-WASHINGTON ST. Opposite the Old South Church 659 Gayety Theatre Building Howard B.

HOSMER Assistant Class Editors MIRIAM GORDON, '23 HESTER SMITH, '24 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SO This current issue of the Radiator is an ath- letic number, featuring the athletic activities of the school. We delve to some large degree into the past. Somerville has had a long and glorious record, both as a power in school ath- letics and as a producer of famous athletes. But let us not gaze too long at the past, es- pecially the immediate past, but rather as a school, go out undiscouraged and determined to regain our former “place in the sun. The recent election came as a startling shock to the Republican party. While it left them with nominal majorities in House and Senate it practically reversed the sweep of 1920. Polit- ical critics claim that this election and that of 1920 open a new era in American politics, the era of the unattached, shifting voter. Great questions have superseded parties. The people are more interested in prohibition and unem- ployment than in Republican and Democratic parties. So say the critics. And figures ap- parently bear them out. In New York, for example, there was a shift from a 1,100,000 Republican majority in 1920 to a 300,000 Dem- ocratic majority in 1922. Perhaps the new era, if there is one, will be for good, perhaps for the bad. Time alone can tell. Whatever the interpretation of the vote it shows dis- satisfaction, intense dissatisfaction. May those in power take time from their petty personal squabbles to find a way to remove the causes of dissatisfaction. Athletics may play too prominent a part in college life. The heads of the “Big Three and various other colleges say so and they may be right. But regardless of the situation in colleges, athletics, do not and can not play too large a part in High School activity. High School athletics are the unifying, co-ordinating force in the school. They bring a sense of be- longing to an organization. “Our orchestra or “our debating society may do it for some few, but it is “our team that strikes home to the majority. Unity and co-operation are nec- essary to successfully run a school. A college may obtain these by the constant contact and intercourse of its student, but a High School can only secure them through athletics. There- fore let us cherish our athletic teams. Thanksgiving has come and gone. Each one doubtless celebrated in a different way, but each one should have thought a moment at least of the day’s significance and resolved to keep the true Thanksgiving spirit through the year. This year debating has come back into its own. The recent drive resulted in over four hundred members for the two societies. The meetings have not yet been overcrowded, how- ever. If the new members keep their pledges the year should be highly successful. We sin- cerely hope so. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 31 The faculty and student body of Somerville High School are deeply grieved at the death of Mrs. Wright, for three years matron of the school. Her ready helpfulness and unfailing kindness will long be remembered. Training! The most important part of foot- ball preparation and often the least considered. The least considered, that is, by the player. The coach always knows the value of training. Training is simply keeping fit; going to bed early and not early in the morning, keeping away from tobacco and other excesses, eat- ing right, all this is training. A coach can in- struct a team till Doomsday in regard to train- ing, but it comes right down to the individual player’s honor and desire to do his best whether he obeys. The most brilliant player on the team if he continually breaks training is inferior to the steady, dependable chap in that the former cannot stand the hammering of a hard game. A player upon signing up for the football team agrees to keep training. When he breaks train- ing he breaks his word. Unpleasant but true! A team, some of whose members break train- ing, is not generally successful. Somerville is proud indeed of her son, Fred- eric W. Cook, who was re-elected Secretary of State. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ob- tain advertisements in this and we believe in any school paper. Business men look upon it as a charity and in the present state of busi- ness depression “charity begins at home.” With a purchasing membership of over two thousand it seems to us that it should pay to advertise in the Radiator. There is no more important purchaser of clothes than the high school student. Surely this should interest ciothing houses. At least four hundred stu- dents have graduation pictures made. Surely this should interest all photographers. Large numbers go to higher institutions. Surely this should interest the colleges. Advertisements formerly largely supported the paper. They have been greatly reduced. Where are we to get the money to give you the better, bigger paper you demand? If you know, the business manager will welcome your information with open arms. Hugo Stinnes, the mystery man, probably the most powerful individual in the world to- day, has volunteered to reconstruct France and put Germany on its feet. An agreement be- tween Stinnes, a German business man, and a French business man, provides that Stinnes shall supply the materials for the rebuilding of France and collect from his government as best he may. At last it seems that France and Ger- many have got rid of the politicians who have antagonized each other for four weary years. The powers have got down to business and business and commercial interests hold sway. It is apparently the most encouraging thing since November 11, 1918. Two far-seeing, prac- tical business men in one conference did more than the eleven political conferences since the armistice. Stinnes already practically owns Germany. Will he eventually be the uncrowned head of Continental Europe? Other schools make much of basket-ball dur- ing the winter. Why not S. H. S. ? 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Defeated! By Itichard J. Walsh, 1923 “Big game tomorrow. Going?” “What’s the use? They’ll probably be beaten anyhow. Besides, there’s the Delta Beta Phi dance tomorrow night. I might be late for that. You going?” “Oh, I suppose so. Nothing else to do.” st s: sje The Gamma Kappa Omicron fraternity dance, the night before the first big football game of the season for Simonville High School, was just closing. A group of fellows went into the smoking room for a final cigarette. In the group were Frank Dayton, halfback and kicking ace of the Simonville team; Jack Bostell, veteran full- back, and Gerwin, first string end, all of whom had been close contestants for the captaincy of the team. Simonville beat Highridge the next day, 6-0, through the wonderful kicking of Dayton and incidentally through the recovery of a fumble by Tayson, who was mentioned only in the line- up. But, alas! This auspicious beginning of the season was not without its costs, for when scrimmage was about to commence the next week, it developed that Captain Sayers had received an injury to his arm, Dayton had hurt his shoulder and Bostell had been kicked in the head. Not serious injuries, but the coach could see that it would be inadvisable to risk making them worse in a mere practice scrim- mage. The coach, who was new at the school, and who varied from extreme laxity to absurd faultfinding, could see, so, “Well, take a couple of turns around the field and rest up for a few days. A couple of nights’ sleep ought to patch you up. It would be a pity if on Saturday—” “Oh, I’ll be all right in a couple of days,” they hastened to assure him in unison. Enter our unheroic hero. Will Allen was a senior and a member of the football squad, both of which meant nothing, as hardly any- one in school knew anything about him, except that he seemed to be a fairly decent fellow, and the coach kept him on the squad for “can- non fodder,” because, once in a while, he did happen, accidentally of course, to filter through the opposing team and drop the receiver of a punt quietly, unobtrusively, yet nevertheless, decidedly, in his tracks. He held no regularly assigned position on the second team, but filled in at end or quarterback when the more prom- inent scrub players were injured or temporar- ily elevated to the regulars. The coach liked to have him at end on the scrubs because the first string backfield was given better practice in running back punts (or trying to) when he was against it. The coach had also noticed that the regulars generally had a poor day when he was playing quarterback for the “fod- derites,” in spite of the fact that both teams used the same signals, and that as a result, the first not only knew where the play was to be, but even when the ball would be snapped. (Great training!) But on these days the coach was so incensed at the first team for its slow- ness and carelessness in letting some substi- tute (strangely enough, he never noticed which substitute) slip through it, that he never hap- pened to think that it might be because of any merit on the sub’s part. On one of those bleak, drear, terribly cold November afternoons, only a few days before Thanksgiving, Will Allen played for the scrubs. It happened that it was the first, and last, time he ever played against Frank Dayton for, curi- ously enough, he had usually played on one of the days when Dayton was indulging only in easy kicking practice, because of his lame shoulder, (it was remarkable how tender that shoulder became when there was any rough work to be done) or had a cold, or some other of those afflictions of strict training, and for, well, you’ll understand soon enough. This day, the first part of the scrimmage was devoted to punting by the first team, with the second testing its line by striving to block the kicks. Then the two teams lined up for a practice game with a kick-off and all the “fix- ings.” The scrub kicked off to Dayton, who came ploughing and sidestepping down the field in very pretty fashion, leaving a wake of re- cumbent scrubs. By the time he reached Will he was galloping along triumphantly, yet cau- tiously, for if the coach didn’t, he certainly did, respect Will’s qualities as a tackier. Poor Will was at first almost paralyzed with consterna- tion. To think that he was to pit his obscure one hundred and forty pounds against that great open field wizard! But unlike most of the other substitutes, he remembered his duty. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 forgot his fright and with an unvoiced prayer that no more than his shoulder would be broken, he sprang at Dayton with the fearful spring of a cornered tiger. The game ended right there. It took fifteen minutes to revive Dayton, while Will was as pale as though he instead of Dayton had been knocked out. The coach raved. Two days before Thanksgiving, his best player knocked cold, and a nervous, horrible, cowardly wreck when he came to! Two unlucky assistant-managers, having carried water to the players, collected and counted the headgear, stowed away the tack- ling dummy, were so presumptuous as to think that their work was done temporarily, and to throw a football back and forth to keep from freezing! They weren’t in danger of freezing when the slightly peeved coach, aided by the energetic manager, got through a “severe rep- rimand” for “absolute negligence of duty” (the duty being to sit on the frozen ground beside the supplies to be sure that no mosqui- toes ran off with them). The coach must have done some intensive thinking that night, for next day he placed Will Allen at quarterback on the first team and shifted the former quarterback to Dayton’s place at halfback. Dayton, it seemed, was in no condition to play. Thus things stood when Simonville and Fosterton lined up for the kickoff on Thanksgiving morning, a typical New England Thanksgiving with a raging bliz- zard overhead, and a sea of mud underfoot. An ideal football day! In the Simonville locker room it was dis- covered that there was only a little resin, as the manager in the excitement of preparation for a dance the night before had forgotten to tell an assistant manager to get some more. Showing that selfish spirit which characterizes some so-called men, a few of the backfield lib- erally daubed themselves with the small sup- ply, so that Allen found himself without any. After a long exhortation by the coach, to which everyone listened intently and heard not a word, the team trotted onto the field, and after some desultory signal drill, lined up for the kick-off. Fosterton kicked to Will, who after jug- gling the ball, slipped and slid to his thirty- yard line before being stopped. Then Bostell made two yards through tackle. Captain Say- ers was tackled for a yard loss. Bostell, who had taken Dayton’s place as kicker, and who was really good at it, punted the ball to the Fosterton quarterback, who was tackled im- mediately by Gerwin and Allen, who played end on kick formation. On defence Allen played close up to the line, while Bostell played back. Then Fosterton began that plugging drive for which il was famous. The Simonville line was weak, slow to understand plays, and slower to stop them. In consequence the brunt of the tackling fell on Allen. Time after time a Foster- ton back broke through and was stopped only by him. Every break meant a substantial gain, too. But when Simonville got the ball her backs made some good runs, and so for the remainder of the first half the ball was kept near the middle of the field, though usually in Simonville’s territory. The second half began. Once more the ball surged back and forth. But now Bostell’s kicks were weaker. Had not Allen covered almost everyone perfectly, Fosterton would have gained more advantage than she did. Gerwin,. the supposedly good end, had time taken out for him three times in the third quarter and was finally forced out of the game by sheer exhaustion. It has been noticed that late hours and cigarettes are not good for football train- ing. By the last quarter the Simonville line and backfield were almost all substitutes with the exception of Allen and Bostell, who as the kicker, was spared as much as possible. Much was possible with a man like Allen. Time and again when a Fosterton man broke away for what seemed like a long run, it was plucky, obscure, muddy little Allen who burst through the interference and curled his one hundred and forty pounds around the runner’s legs. The stands didn’t notice who did all the tack- ling. They saw only the long runs of the other team before the tackles, and shrilled their dis- approval. But one man cannot do the work of half a team for four quarters without feeling the effects of such abnormal efTort, so by the middle of the last quarter. Will was weakening fast, and worked only automatically, struggling to his feet after each play, and trying to shake at the same time the cobwebs from his brain and the snow from his eyes. He had found long since that he couldn’t trust Bostell with the ball, as he never got started, and the other backs were uncertain, so when a gain was needed he took the ball himself and squirmed his way for the needed yardage. The stands called it a swelled head; he and the other team called it a nightmare. Then came the end. It was a quarterback run. With the best in- terference he had gotten in the whole game. Will eluded the entire Fosterton team, and with a clear field ahead for victory,—and the (Continued on Page 47) 34 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Somerville High School’s Famous Athletes (Owing to the lack of space the names of many famous players have been omitted—Ed.) “Pie” Traynor, now playing third base for Pittsburg, in the National League, played the same position for Somerville High School. Horace Ford, now playing second base for the Boston “Braves,” played for Somerville High School in the identical position. “Bud” Young, now playing left end for Holy Cross, played the same sterling brand of foot- ball at right end for Somerville High School. Warren Gilkey, playing for Rhode Island State College, and a three-letter man, captained one of Somerville High School football teams, and played centre field on the baseball team. “Steve” Patten, who played quarterback for Boston College, was a Somerville athlete, play- ing quarterback on the football team and pitch- ing for the baseball team. Norman Paasche, fullback for Brown Uni- versity, played for Somerville High School on both the football and baseball teams. George Dowd, second base for Boston Col- lege, is another of Somerville’s athletes. While at Somerville High School he played halfback on the football team and second base on the baseball team. “Jim” Robertson, who played guard, half- back and fullback, besides being captain of Dartmouth’s 1921 football team, played full- back for Somerville High. “Pup” Olson, who has played three years at fullback for Lowell Textile School, played in the backfield for Somerville. “Louie” Smith, who played quarterback for Somerville has been playing the same position for Holy Cross. “Jim” MacNamara, left guard for Boston College, also played at left guard for Somer- ville High School. “Roily” Barker, quarterback and pitcher for Somerville, is doing some of the pitching for Dartmouth. “Tom” Thornton captained the freshman football team at Syracuse. While at Somerville he played fullback. “Eddie” Cook, now playing left end for Tufts, played right end during his three years at Somerville. John Garrod is running on the Dartmouth cross country team. While at Somerville High he played on the football and hockey teams. “Beanie” Simpson played on Rhode Island State College at fullback, but was kept out of all but the first game by a fractured kneecap. While at Somerville he played fullback on the football team and shortstop on the baseball team. Ernest Ver Wiebe, S. H. S., ’05, Harvard ’09, was the first Somerville man to make the Har- vard football team, was the player who by his long runs and good defensive work placed Harvard in a position to score the points which gained her the first victory in ten years over Yale on her own grounds. President Roosevelt honored Ver W’iebe by a personal letter of con- gratulation. “Frankie” Downing, a graduate of Somer- ville High School, captained the Westminster hockey team last winter. The Westminster team won the hockey championship of the United States. “Tom” Scanlan, S. H. S., ’16, played full- back for Boston College on the championship team of 1920. He played quarterback for Som- erville. Harry Robinson, S. H. S., ’14, rivaled hi brother at Dartmouth and captained a Syracuse eleven. He played both baseball and football for Somerville High School. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 COACH ARTHUR AYER Arthur R. (“Dutch”) Ayer began his athletic career at Lawrence High School, where he did notable work on the football, baseball and track teams. After his graduation from Law- rence High School he attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Dean Academy, where he was quarterback on the football team and captained the relay and hockey teams. After a short period at Colby he transferred to Springfield, to take a course in physical directing. “Dutch” Ayer became so proficient in ath- letics, and athletic directing, that he became a physical director and coach. He has coached the following colleges, schools and universities: Coached Concord (N. H.) High School for two years, Norwich University one year, Holyoke High School for one year, Boston University for one year, director of athletics and recrea- tion at Greenfield Tap and Dye Corporation, athletic director and coach at Portland Naval Station during the war, and in 1919 was di- rector of physical training and athletics in New York State. “Dutch” Ayer has coached Somerville High School for one year, and is now on the second. His coaching has shown good results, and we wish him still more success in the future. PROBABLE ALL-AMERICAN TACKLE “Herb” Treat, Somerville High School, ’19, now at Princeton, will doubtless be on the mythical All-American team this fall. His wonderful defensive work and keen scent for the ball were largely instrumental in Prince- ton’s wins from both Harvard and Yale. It was Treat’s recovery of a fumble on Harvard’s twelve-yard line that led to the winning touch- down and a similar feat led to the winning goal against Yale. Treat played three years foi Somerville and went to Boston College before going to Princeton. THE “S” MAN’S CLUB The “S” or Letter Man’s Club of Somerville High School has begun its second year of ex- istence. At the first meeting of the year the following officers were elected for the season of ’22-’23: President, Paul Simpson, ’23; vice- president, Clarence Fraser, ’24; treasurer, Leo Fermoyle, ’23; secretary, Henry Blackman, ’23; sergeant-at-arms, William Harrington, ’24. The first dance of the “S” Man’s Club took place Saturday evening, November 18, after the Everett game and was an entire social success. Kostume’s Orchestra furnished the music and the dance was in charge of the following committee: Francis McCall, chair- man; Dante Georgette and John Maguire. This club is a force for good in the school and de- serves the sincere support of the student body. 36 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR With Our Athletic Leaders THE FOOTBALL CAPTAIN By Henry Blackman The 1922 football season is over. We did not have an over-successful year, but consider- ing the lightness of the team the record could be worse. We leave a large group of under- graduates who should insure a successful sea- son next year. The football captain is largely an inspirer rather than a governor. That is, his chief duty is to put the fight into the team both by word and action. If a captain cannot so arouse a team that they will drop in their tracks rather than give ground he is a poor captain. I have done my best. I have no criticisms to make. THE FOOTBALL MANAGER By Francis McCall “A player toils from sun to sun, A manager’s work is never done.” It may not be true that a player toils from sun to sun, but it is literally true that a man- ager’s work is never done. To the outsider the manager may have an easy time, but in reality there is a great deal of hard work and re- sponsibility. The opening of school and prac- tice sees the manager with a large amount of equipment to pass out, check up and keep in good condition. He must make varied lists of players, candidates, equipment, etc., and play bookkeeper for a while. After practice has well started he must be at the field every day to attend to the hundred and one small thing-; that come up—a minor injury, broken equip- ment and the like. The manager provides for getting to games away from home, entertain- ing visiting teams and arranges practice games. He also superintends the assistant managers and sees that they have some idea of what the job is like. Once the season is over, comes the struggle to get back equipment and check it off. Last year practically all equipment was returned and we expect this year will be the same way. All through the winter the equipment is gone over, shoes fixed, cleats put on, uniforms washed and mended and a careful inventory made. In the spring, after the schedule is made out, the manager must get lists of prospective candidates, not only from the High School, but from the last year of Junior High School. And they say a manager does not earn his letter. THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN By Daniel MacFayden With the closing of the football season hockey looms as the next major sport on the calendar. Hockey is becoming more firmly es- tablished at Somerville every year and we enter this season with bright prospects. Fraser, Jere- miah and myself form a nucleus and there are several likely candidates in the lower classes. The games will doubtless be at the Boston Arena, as last year, which greatly encourages high school hockey. A rink for practice will be constructed on a site to be decided later. Hockey is one of the fastest, if not the fast- est game played, and is extremely interesting and exciting to watch. There is also the ad- vantage of the comfort of being indoors unlike usual football conditions. Back the team by ap- pearing at games or if you can skate or play hockey come out for the team. THE BASEBALL MANAGER By Dudley Noyes It has been said, and truly, that the man- ager’s work is never done. In order to substan- tiate this statement the duties of the manager should be stated. Before the baseball season opens he must arrange for practice games to get the team in condition for the Suburban League games, for games to keep them from getting “stale” dur- ing the lapses of league games in the middle of the season and for games with minor teams in order that the coach may “get a line” on the second team. The first call for candidates usually brings out from fifty to seventy fellows desirous of making the team. The name of each candidate must be recorded and after a few “cuts” have been made, records of equip- ment issued and of attendance at practice are also made. During the entire season the man- ager, with the aid of his assistants, must watch out for the equipment and have it on hand when needed. Watching out for the equipment consists in the main of keeping a sharp eye on the balls during batting practice; as foul balls over the stands and balls in the brook have a strange habit of disappearing if the manager does not appear immediately. The manager must score each game and arrange for the visiting team’s necessities and expenses. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 At the end of the season the manager must collect all the equipment issued to the squad. On account of absences and other reasons this is necessarily a long job. These and a thousand and one other tasks comprise the duties of a baseball manager. THE BASEBALL CAPTAIN By Edward Jeremiah Baseball is yet a long way ahead, but in the minds of “fans it still has prominence. Somerville should go into the league season with a fine chance for the championship. A large group of veterans and last year’s substi- tutes give us a good start, You will hear more from us in the spring. TENNIS CLUB Early in October a group of tennis enthus- iasts called a meeting of boys interested in the sport, and a large number responded. At this first meeting a committee of four, Paul Simp- son, Welton Burgess, Warren Thomas and Richard Walsh, was elected to draw up a con- stitution for the Somerville High School Boys’ Tennis Club, and to manage affairs until regular officers should be elected. The officers elected at the next meeting were: President, Warren Thomas; vice-president, Paul Simpson; secre- tary, Samuel Taylor. This club has been formed to promote the game of tennis in the school, and to bring together fellows interested in this popular sport. One of the first actions of the club will be to procure increased tennis facilities for Somerville. In the spring a tour- nament will be held, and a team selected to represent Somerville High School against other schools. From the enthusiasm shown already, it is safe to predict that Somerville High School tennis will have a thoroughly successful season. GIRLS’ TENNIS CLUB The Girls’ Tennis Club has opened this year with a membership of thirty-five girls inter- ested in tennis and willing to work for the honor of their school. Both Miss Campbell and Miss Burke, the athletic instructresses, have spent several afternoons helping the girls im- prove their strokes. The girls practiced until the cold weather forbade it. Next spring we plan to have an interclass tournament and also a varsity team. All girls who play tennis should not fail to join the club. THE SUBURBAN LEAGUE The Suburban League, formed in 1907. and continued unchanged until 1913, was originally composed of four high schools, Everett, Med- ford, Malden and Melrose. Somerville High School was the first annexation to the original league. In 1913 Somerville filed application and was accepted. Before Somerville joined the Suburban League it had been a member of the Interscholastic League. The league, now made up of five high schools, did not change again until 1914, when Rindge Technical School was admitted. At about this time Melrose High School sent in its resigna- tion from the league. While the Suburban League was functioning on this side of the city, a similar league was formed on the other side of the city known as the Triangular League. This league was composed of New- ton High School, Brookline High School and one other school. In 1915 Newton High School applied for admission to the Suburban League. This left the Triangular League in a state of turmoil. Not to be outdone by Newton, Brookline High School applied to the Suburban League, and in the same year (1915) was ac- cepted as a contender for Suburban League honors. During the year 1915 the Suburban League saw its greatest growth. It added three new teams to its membership. The last team to be annexed was Cambridge Latin, late in the year 1915. So a Suburban League of four teams quickly doubled itself into what is now the largest high school league around Greater Boston. The Suburban League was originated to pro- mote football and baseball in those high schools which desired to become a member. Suburban League athletes have won dis- tinction in many of the large colleges and uni- versities throughout the country. THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls’ Athletic Association has so widened the scope of its activities this year that every girl in the Somerville High School can now find some supervised sport to her liking. Hockey and tennis clubs have already been formed, and numerous other sports, in- cluding indoor swimming, basket-ball, and ski- ing are on the program of winter activities. All girls who are interested in athletics are urged to join the association and to give their support to the various teams. Hockey prac- tice is held every Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at Dilboy Field. Come and learn how to play! 38 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR On October 11 an assembly was held in High School Hall. The speaker of this meet- ing was Professor Lewis Keegan, of Tufts Col- lege. Professor Keegan spoke of what type of boy or girl should or should not plan to enter college. He also spoke of the demands re- quired of a student entering and becoming an undergraduate. It was a topic appreciated by many, for it determined for some the question of whether or not they should go to college. On October 18 Mr. Stanton H. King, super- intendent of Sailors’ Haven, Charlestown, spoke to the boys concerning “The Sea and the Sailor.” Mr. King brought to the boys by word pictures the duties and pleasures in the life of the sailor. Also he sang various chantries that the sailors sang while performing their tasks, making it very interesting. On October 25, Mr. Jones, from the Edison Light Company, gave a very interesting stere- opticon lecture. His subject was “Power and Service Behind the Light.” This assembly was for pupils in the scientific and general courses. On November 15 an assembly was held for all juniors and seniors. The speaker of this assembly was Mr. William Homer Leavitt, a widely known artist of great talent. Mr. Leavitt’s early boyhood was spent in Boston, but he studied painting in Paris, grad- uating from the University of Paris. He also studied in Rome, graduating from under Jerome, a European artist. Mr. Leavitt spoke on “The Fine Arts of Everyday Life.” CORNERSTONE LAID The cornerstone of the new Junior High School to be erected on Marshall Street, Winter Hill, was laid Tuesday afternoon, November 21. Among those who participated in the event were Mayor Webster, the Board of Aldermen and School Committee, with numerous citizens and school children. In the cornerstone were placed copies of all papers containing an account of the school, also papers that were passed by the School Committee and Board of Aldermen in connec- tion with its erection. Mayor Webster spread the first trowel of cement and was followed by Mr. Robertson, president of the Board of Aldermen, Superin- tendent of Schools Charles S. Clark, and Dr. Herbert Cholerton, chairman of the School Committee. The new building will be three stories high, constructed of buff colored brick, and will con- tain thirty-five classrooms, an assembly hall and domestic science reem. At a joint meeting of the Girls’ and Boys’ Debating Societies, an interesting debate, “Re- solved: That the great powers should interfere in the Near East,” was ably discussed by Kath- leen O’Brien and Marcia Berg, for the affirma- tive, ar.d Francis Shea and Kenneth McLeod, for the negative. The decision of the audience was for the negative. CHESS CLUB The Somerville High School Chess Club has begun its second season. At the first meeting, Thursday, October 12, the large number pres- ent showed what remarkable progress the game of chess has made in our school during the comparatively short space of one year. The officers for the 1922-1923 season are: Presi- dent, Arbeta; vice-president, Walter Rose; secretary-treasurer, Francis Shea. The club has already received challenges from the Boston English High School and Cambridge Latin High School. Arrangements are being made for an interesting schedule of matches, and if present enthusiasm continues, a good team will be available to play in them. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 30 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT This department is devoted for the Novem- ber issue of the Radiator to a series of histor- ical novels dealing with American history, in chronological order. Mexico:— “The Aztec Treasure House ’ by Janvier. A modern exploring party penetrates to a lost Aztec city in the mountains. The English Colonies:— “To Have and to Hold,” by Johnston. The romance of a Virginian who purchases one of the wives sent over by the company in 1619, and the adventures that follow. “The Scarlet Letter,” by Hawthorne. A sombre story of the life of the Puritans in Massachusetts. The best work of our greatest novelist. “The Last of the Mohicans,” Cooper. Story dealing with Indian life in Northern New York, and adventures in the Colonial wars. The French Colonies:— “The Seats of the Mighty,” Parker. A story of love and adventure in Canada during the French and Indian War. The American Revolution:— “Alice of Old Vincennes,” Thompson. “Hugh Wynne,” Mitchell. “The Red City,” Mitchell. The interest in all of these stories is divided between love and war. The settings differ. “Alice of Old Vincennes” treats of the cam- paign for the capture of the British forts in the West. From the Revolution to the Civil War:— “The Crossing,” Churchill. The movement of settlers into the Middle West immediately after the Revolution. George Rogers Clark is an important character. “A Man for the Ages,” Bacheller. The westward migration of a New England family and the early life of Lincoln form the themes of the story. The Civil War:— The Crisis,” Churchill. The story opens in St. Louis, before the war, and gives the viewpoint of both sides. It then follows the careers of a Northern and Southern soldier, rivals in love and war. From 1875 to the Present Day:— “The Virginian,” Wister. A good example of the familiar type of Western story. “Colonel Carter of Cartersville,” Smith. A delightful story whose chief character is a Southern colonel of the old school. “The Magnificent Ambersons,” Tarking- ton. The historical value lies in the treatment of the development from a small town to a great industrial city of Middle Western com- munities. THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL The first meeting of the Students’ Council for the year 1922-23 was held in room 205, No- vember 15, 1922, Rollo Lewis, the president, acting as chairman. The principal business of this meeting was the election and installation of the officers of the council and the appoint- ment of the various committees. Inez Com- stock, ’23, was elected secretary; Edward Hall, ’23, elected treasurer. The president appointed the following as members of the “Ways and Means” committee: Fayette Haskell, Esme Lucas, Harry Hurley, Edward Hall and Arthur DePadua. Esme Lucas, ’24, was elected re- porter of the school, and all activities of the school will be reported by her to the Somer- ville and Boston newspapers. A committee of three was appointed to take charge of a Junior Red Cross drive; the following were appointed on this committee: Fayette Haskell, Leslie Thompson, James McGowan. The “Lost and Found” bureau was established and Edward Hall and Evelyn Thompson were appointed to work with Miss Ham of the office. To make every undertaking of the council a success it is absolutely necessary that each and every student give their earnest co-operation. 40 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR NOTES OT THU ALVMNI CAMTBELL-08 1922 James Marmaud is a freshman at Boston College.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 41 Life isajestamiallTbiingssb AGAIN NORMAL The curtain has fallen. From Medicine Hat The edict is wafted to bury the bat; The boys are departing, the season is through, The mothballs are scenting the “ump’s” suit of blue; The office boy labors and glories in strife, His oft interred grandma has come back to life; Extinct are the contests of summer galore— The papers have printed the final box score. The smoke of the battle has gone on the breeze; The “What’s-the-score ?” demon has stran- gled his wheeze; The sodapop hawkers, the program brigade, Have swelled with their legion the passing parade; The chill of the autumn sweeps over the land; The sport the fen’s treking, a rifle in hand; And gone is the feature by which we all swore— The papers have printed the final box score. The geese, headed southward, in lazy strings fly, Like fluttering ribbons unfurled in the sky; The pictures of heroes bedecked and arrayed In glittering spangles, no more are displayed. The fan has ceased fanning, the earth’s settled down, All’s well in the village, the hamlet, the town, The world on its axis spins around as before— The papers have printed the final box score. A RADIO NOVICE’S DREAM By Dean C. Swan, Jr. The cold wind died, the moon rose up, The night grew still and clear; A perfect night for Radio, For every listening ear. When Dan first tried his brand new phones, A pair of Baldwins dear, His face expressed that look of doubt Which oft bespeaks of fear. And why feared he? T’is ever so With such a costly twain, And doubtful always is the mind That thinks of aught but name. But soon the doubtful stage had passed, And joy was there instead, The signals were so clear and loud, So easily were read. Then suddenly agape he heard, Faintly from far away, A voice on the now quiet air, “Sign off K. D. K. A.’’ Now Dan had long essay’d to hear This station of his hope, But it was just too far away, And quite beyond his scope. But now he realized those hopes Dim as they then did seem. The alarm clock rang—alas! ’Twas but another dream.

NEWTON Newton High met its first league defeat in three years on October 12, at the Claflin Field, Newton ville, at the hands of Somerville, which pinned a 7-0 score on the Black and Gold. The Somerville style of attack was greater than Newton’s. Somerville completed four out of five forward passes. “Chet” Mattern, the fleet Somerville end, seems to have magnets in his fingers as he always manages to get his hands on the ball. A forward pass from McFayden to Mattern netted Somerville the only touchdown of the game. McFayden kicked the goal. Blackman and Wells made good gains through the line while McFayden made big gains on forwards and end runs. Newton fumbled the ball several times during the game.

BROOKLINE Brookline played Somerville to a scoreless tie. Somerville lost two chances to score in the first half by penalties. Captain Blackman won the toss and Brookline kicked to Blackman, who ran it back ten yards. The game was purely a punting duel. Brookline’s only chance to score was when Shapiro’s drop-kick from the forty-yard line missed the goal by inches.

MEDFORD Captain Leary won the toss and Medford kicked off to Wells. The first period resulted in a punting duel between McFayden, of Som- erville, and Kelley, of Medford. In the second half Somerville marched down the field and took the ball to Medford’s twenty-yard line, Medford intercepted a Somerville forward pass and here ended Somerville’s chances for a touchdown. In the last period Medford blocked a Somerville punt and carried the ball over the goal for a touchdown. Another touchdown was made by a series of line rushes and the final score was Medford, 13; Somerville, 0.

Somerville failed to make first down, and McFayden punted. The first touchdown of the game came when Sandberg threw a forward pass to Bara- bee, who ran twenty yards for a score. Malden’s other touchdowns were made by line rushes; two field goals were kicked by Sandberg. Som- erville’s only touchdown of the game came in the second period, after Sandberg kicked off to Blackman, on just three plays, a fifteen-yard forward pass, McFayden to Kilty, a twenty-yard forward pass, McFayden to Harrington, and one of the longest passes of the season, McFay- den to Rogers, for forty yards. The final score was Malden, 28; Somerville, 7.

EVERETT Somerville won the toss and chose to kick to Everett. Everett ran the ball back about ten yards but lost by a fumble. Somerville failed to make first down. On the next play Everett again fumbled and Somerville recov- ered it on Everett’s thirty-yard line. On a pass from McFayden to Mattern, Mattern was over the goal line, but was beyond the zone line so the ball went to Everett on their own twenty- yard line, and Everett’s goal was never again threatened. On series of rushes Everett brought the ball down to Somerville’s twenty- yard line, Bond tried a drop-kick but it was blocked by Somerville. Everett recovered the ball, and by a series of rushes took it over for a touchdown. Bond missed the goal. In the third period Everett made an additional three points by a field goal kicked by Bond.

The first touchdown was the result of a fine forward, Cole to Cronin, and line plunges by Fay, the junior varsity captain. Cole kicked the goal. Cole made a wonderful end run for sixty yards in the third quarter, and after a ten-yard penalty for Somerville, Griffin went the remaining thirteen yards through centre. Gustin did great work making holes and Griffin, Stoodley, Fay and Cole did well. Anderson ex- celled for Attleboro. Every Somerville player who made the trip was used by Acting Coach McCall.

CLASS MEETING The first meeting of the Senior Class was held in High School Hall, on October 23, 1922, with Mr. Avery presiding. The newly elected officers, who were then introduced, thanked the class for the confidence they had placed in them. The meeting was then turned over to Mr. Lewis, the president, who asked for the secretary’s and treasurer’s reports. They were read and accepted. Mr. Lewis then brought up the matter of class dues. After a brief dis- cussion it was decided that the annual dues for 1922-23 would be twenty-five cents. There was a short time left which Mr. Avery considered a very opportune moment to speak of the elec- tion of proctors. He made it very emphatic that we should give a great deal of thought to the choice of proctor, as it is a position that can be filled only by a good, conscientious boy or girl. The meeting then adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Inez A. Comstock, Secretary. Do not forget that Class Dues are due. Cleon Hopkins is president of the Dramatic Club, May Clement, vice-president; DeLancey Cleveland, secretary; and Priscilla Leach, treasurer. What your column would look like if we re- lied on the members of the class to pass in notes. Members of the Senior Class who took part in “The Ginger-Bread Man” were: Ruth King, as a fairy; Lillian Leighton, as Margery Daw, and Marion Chebook and Lillian Dole as danc- ers.

Our Youngest Senior It is believed that Miss Verna Goff, who cele- brated her fifteenth birthday November ninth, is our youngest senior. Congratulations, Verna! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1924 47 Kenneth Campbell—Editor. Hester Smith—Assistant Editor. The Junior editors take this opportunity to thank the members of the Junior Class for their loyal support in sending in class notes. The editors found it necessary to hire a Ford truck to carry the Juniors’ notes to the print- ing office. Keep up the good work, Juniors. You weren’t born lazy, you acquired it. Juniors, you voted that your class dues be ten cents; now pay them. Every Monday morning with some money in his hand, A thrifty little Junior in line does stand. He has learned the lesson of the good of thrift, And now for a dime the ashes does sift. On Monday, October 30, the Juniors held their first meeting of the year. Mr. Avery, after speaking a few words to the class, passed the meeting over to our president, Leslie Thomp- son. He spoke of the advantages of having the Junior-Senior play this year, and then next year we, the class of 1924, would be the first class to hold a Senior play. Esme Lucas, our vice-president, spoke of her appreciation to the class for their worthy sup- port and for her re-election. Harris Neil spoke of the financial condition of the class. He stated that he hoped that this year we would be able to have one hundred per cent, membership. A motion was made and seconded that the class dues be ten cents. This brought the ap- proval of the entire class. Evelyn Thompson gave her report of the last meeting and thanked the class for their kindness in re-electing her as secretary. The meeting adjourned at 1.55. Proctors have been elected in all the rooms. Juniors stand back of them. Did you have any part in making this Radi- ator? If not, why not?

(Continued from Page 33) stands on their feet in an uproar,—and coaches and substitutes praying and swearing, —he collapsed,—fumbled, and what was worse, fumbled directly into the arms of a fresh Fos- terton substitute, who grabbed the ball and romped down the sidelines to make a score and a name for himself coincidentally. The game was over. Will Allen, crying uncon- solably, hysterically, had to be carried from the field. The disaster was complete. Was it? “Rotten game, wasn’t it?” “Terrible! Too bad Simonville didn’t have a quarterback. Wonder what struck the coach to put that fellow in? What’s his name anv- how ?” “Oh, Alden, or Allen, or something like that. Funny thing to put him in when we had such a good backfield before. Might at least have used someone that kept training. I heard someone say he is a regular ‘butt’ fiend, was crying for one when they took him off. There’s such a thing as carrying things too far. Look at Bostell; he knows where to stop, played the whole game without an injury.” “Yeah.” 48 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A motorist, stranded by the roadside, tele- phoned frantically for assistance. “I’ve turned turtle,” he shouted. “Apply at the aquarium,” came the reply. “I can’t do a thing with Jones,” said the manager. “I’ve had him in three departments, and he dozes all day long.” “Put him at the pajama counter,” suggested the proprietor, and fasten this card on him: “Our night clothes are of such superior quality that even the man who sells them can not keep awake.” Office Boy: “Say, Boss, what is free verse?” Country Editor: “Poetry clipped from the exchanges, William.” “Here, waitress. This doughnut has a tack in it.” “Well, I declare! I’ll bet the ambitious little thing thinks it is a flivver tire. “He is a man with a grip of steel, an iron nerve, but a heart of gold.” “Aha! A regular man of mettle!” You can drive a horse to water, but a pencil has got to be led. History Prof.: “Why are the middle ages known as the dark ages?” Wise Youth: “Because there were so many knights.” A certain elementary school was visited one day by an important educational authority, who cross-examined the scholars and was eminently satisfied with the results. The boys strained their brains and did their best. “Well,” said the visitor at last, “are there any questions ?” “Yes, sir,” came a tired voice. “What time does your train leave?” Dark street— Banana peel— Fat woman— Virginia reel— Record! Wrinkles are becoming if they are the tracks left by smiles. GOOD REASONING. Nothing is better than wisdom, A “D” is better than nothing, Therefore a “D” is better than wisdom. A. “Do you know why there are so many jokes about short skirts?” B. “No, why?” A. “Because brevity is the soul of wit.” —Jabberwock. “Now I’ve had my revenge,” said the shoe- shop proprietor to his friend, as a customer left. Revenge? How so?” “Well, the young lady who just went out is a telephone operator. I gave her the wrong number.” Happy to Tell It. A celebrated singer was in a motor-car acci- dent one day. A paper, after recording the ac- cident, added: “We are happy to state that he was able to appear the following evening in four pieces.” The Investigator. A small boy came hurriedly down the street, and halted breathlessly in front of a stranger who was walking in the same direction. “Have you lost half a dollar?” he asked. “Yes, yes, I believe I have!” said the stranger, feeling in his pockets. “Have you found one?” “Oh, no,” said the boy. “I just want to find out how many have been lost today. Yours makes fifty-five.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 49 All in (he World. Irate Father: “What! You’ve got the nerve to ask for my daughter?’’ Cool Suitor: “Yes, and that isn’t all.

Aren’t you a judge?” Cop: “No, Your Honor, only a patrolman.” No Excuse. “Do you keep stationery here?” asked a woman shopper in a department store. “Please, lady,” begged the man addressed, “don’t tell the boss. I know I’m supposed to be the floor walker but, honestly, I only stopped for just a second.” Reason Enough. “Sav Pop, why are all the drug stores on corners ?” “So they will be handy for auto collisions, my son.” First speaker: “Don’t you love to hear the honk of the wild goose?” Second speaker: “Not when he is driving an automobile.” A countryman with a local reputation as a vocalist attended a dinner and was asked to sing. Although he had no music with him and was as hoarse as a frog, he consented to try, but broke down. “Never thee mind, lad,” said an elderly guest, trying to cheer him up, “never mind the break- down, for thee’s done thy best, but the fellow as asked thee t’ sing ought to be shot.” Professor: “What insect requires the least nourishment?” Bright pupil: “The moth. It eats holes!” The prosecuting attorney had encountered a somewhat difficult witness. Finally he asked the man if he was acquainted with any of the men on the jury. “Yes, sir,” announced the witness, “more than half of them.” “Are you willing to swear that you know more than half of them?” demanded the law- yer. “Why, if it comes to that, I’m willing to swear that I know more than all of them put together,” came the emphatic reply. “What are you doing, Marjory?” “I’se writing a letter to Lily Smif.” “But darling, you don’t know how to write.” “That’s no difference, mamma; Lily don’t know how to read.” “They say Tennyson frequently worked a whole afternoon on a single line.” “That’s nothing, I know a man who has been working the last eight years on a single sen- tence.” Policeman: Here! Here! Where did you get that rug?” Tramp: “I didn’t steal it. A lady up the street gave it to me and told me to beat it.” Two wrongs never make one right, but two wrongs often make a riot. A country doctor just arrived home from a case found this note awaiting him:— “Dear Doctor: My wife’s mother is at death’s door. Please come at once and see if you can pull her through.” Rob: “How would you get down off of an ele- phant?” Bert: “You win—how?” Rob: “You don’t get down off of an elephant, you get it off of a duck.” “What kind of an instrument is that?” “Shoe horn.” “What does it play?” “Foot notes.” “My heart is with the ocean!” cried the poet rapturously. “You’ve gone me one better,” said his sea- sick friend as he took a firmer grip on the rail. if Jflc if if if Teacher (angrily): “Why are you late, Rich- ard ?” “Please, sir,” answered the sinner, “it was late when I started from home.” “Then why didn’t you start from home earl- ier?” “Please, sir, it was too late to start earlier.” A tiny maid, held up to hear her father’s voice on the telephone, suddenly burst into tears. “What are you crying for?” asked her mother. “Oh, mama,” sobbed the child, “however can we get daddy out of that little hole?” 50 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Soph: “Say, there was a big tough fellow looking for you, he says he’s going to lick you within an inch of your life.” Grave Senior: “Is that so, what did you tell him?” Soph: “I told him I was sorry you weren’t round.” “When you have finished your speech,” said the professor of oratory, “bow gracefully and leave the platform on tiptoe.” “Why on tiptoe?” “So as not to wake the audience.” Members of the Florists Telegraph Delivery Telephone 5577-W DAVIS SQUARE FLORIST A.

This December issue of the Radiator is a musical number, featuring musical organiza- tions of the school. This is the first musical number the Radiator has ever presented. Som- erville High School holds a high place in the school musical world, perhaps higher than most of us realize. Our orchestra is well thought of; our Glee Clubs are favorably known to the public. We believe this and the earnest and tireless work which makes this possible, de- serve more recognition from the student body. Hence this Radiator. It seems appropriate that the Christmas number should be combined with the musical number. Christmas is the time of music, of happiness, of good cheer. The Christmas carols with their sweet melodies are familiar to most of us. The old English custom of singing carols about the streets on Christmas Eve, while in- congruous with our modern business system, still seems to us a beautiful and fitting way to introduce the Christmas season. You leave school today to celebrate Christ- mas. Your minds are full of joyous plans for the holiday season. Is there also a thought in them of others, of making someone else happy, of spreading a bit of sunshine the next week? We naturally think of what we ex- pect to receive. Do we also think of what we are going to give? Not only material things but things of the spirit. Cheerfulness and un- failing good humor are gifts to your compan- ions of unexcelled excellence. “Brighten the corner where you are,” is more than a catch phrase. It is a true Christmas slogan and if followed would amply take the place of the League of Nations. A high school boy will not take advice. You can’t tell him anything. It is for his own good to make the best of his educational opportuni- ties. But everyone tells him so, therefore, he will not do it. It may, perhaps, be a common characteristic of youth, but it does seem that eighteen-year-old boys should be able to reason enough to see the folly of “biting off their noses to spite their face.” The Radiator, in presenting this month the unique feature of a distinctly musical number, offers for its leading article, a sketch of Mr. Henry K. Hadley, who in the realm of music is easily Somerville’s most distinguished son.j As a composer he is in first place, his genius being no less remarkable than his versatility. While most composers have been limited to certain forms of music, Mr. Hadley excels in every form—he has written four symphonies:1 “Youth and Life,” “The Four Seasons,” Symphony in B Minor and “North, South, East SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5a and West.” Several cantatas, including “The Rose and the Nightingale,” “Merlin and Viv- ian,” “The Golden Prince,” “Music” (an Ode), “The New Earth” and several others. Mr. Had- ley has written a quintet, a violin sonata, a cello concerto, many piano pieces of superior ex- cellence, and four operas: “Safie,” “Azora,” “Cleopatra’s Night,” and “Bianca.” The latter won the Winshaw prize of $1,000, and was de- clared the best opera ever written by an Ameri- can. Mr. Hadley has to his credit the overtures, “Herod” and “Othello,” and the tone-poem “Salome,” also more than one hundred songs. In each of the varied fields of his musical ef- forts he is the master, par excellence. Mr. Hadley is one of the few men of genius who have met immediate and constant recognition. Already international distinction is his—the story of his triumphs and honors would fill volumes. Kings and courts have delighted to honor him, and nearly every musical organi- zation on both sides of the sea has played his compositions. No less gifted as a conductor than as a com- poser, Mr. Hadley has been associated with the leading musical societies of the world, either directly or as guest conductor. Mr. Hadley was born in Somerville and his academic education was received in the schools of this city. He early showed unusual musi- cal talent and was placed under the best in- structors of the country and later went abroad, where he studied for some years in Vienna. His career has been a series of triumphs. He is still young and additional laurels will doubt- less be his. Mr. Hadley is the son of the lamented and ever beloved Mr. S. Henry Hadley, for over forty years the matchless instructor in music in the public schools, who taught two genera- tions the joy of song. The Radiator, in offering this humble tribute, realizes that in so doing it is itself most honored. The Radiator respectfully calls the school authorities’ attention to what we believe to be a serious want. For this entire year the High School has been without a matron, and the lack has been seriously felt. For ex- ample, on November 28, two girls fainted while passing. There was no adequate place to care for them and no one especially prepared to cope with such a case. Not only is a matron needed in instances of illness, but there are a hundred and one times where a matron is necessary for the welfare of the students. Beginning with the January issue the Radi- ator will print a page of personal items re- garding activities of both faculty and student body outside of school. Will every member of faculty and student body constitute him or her- self a reporter and pass all such items of inter- est in to Miss Dorothy Lawson in Room 113? 60 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Music By Elizabeth G. Stewart, 1923 MAGINE, if you can, a world with- out music! What a dark, dull place it would be; for music is inter- woven with our work, our pleas- ures, our devotions, and our sor- rows. Music, the most generally appreciated and widely cultivated of all arts, is a necessity of civilization. Through it man has expressed his hopes, desires, faiths, joys and sorrows for over two thousand years. “Music,” says Webster, “is a succession of sounds so modulated as to please the ear.” But it is possible to define music as a succession of sounds so modulated as to please the heart. Music soothes, incites, comforts or disturbs ac- cording to the mood of the artist, and serves as a vent for all the emotions of mankind. The most beautiful music is found in nature. The beating of the waves upon the shore, the sighing of the wind through the trees, the exultant song of the lark at morn or the sweet, throbbing evening notes of the nightingale constitute some of the most beautiful music ever heard. The baying of wolves, or the cal! of the pheasant or partridge is music to the hunter’s ears. The rush of a waterfall, the cheerful babble of a brook, the patter of rain, all these are forms of music. Of the music created by man the most stir- ring type is that known as patriotic music. Each nation has its own patriotic song which stirs the heart and fires the blood of its citi- zens as nothing else can do. A man who re- cently returned from a tour of Europe, when asked what pleased him most while abroad, said: “The happiest moment of my whole trip was when I heard some American children in Italy sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ ” What emotions surge over us whenever we hear the dear familiar tones of one of our national an- thems! This is one of the most widely appre- ciated forms of music—the patriotic. The classics of music, written by Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Mozart, Schubert and Wagner, form another class of music. These are the enduring masterpieces. They are the expres- sions of the souls of great men. At times they are so soft and sweet that they are lullabies, again becoming so loud, stirring, grand, as to be almost overpowering in their emotional intensity. Another type of music is the folk-song. The immortal Southern songs, written by Stephen Foster, constitute the folk-songs of America. Every American knows and appreciates these. The songs written in the Scottish dialect are the folk-songs of Scotland, while the sweet pastoral melodies delight the hearts of the Swiss. There are many other types of music, the sacred, the comical, and the love songs, but, in a last analysis, any harmonious, melodious sound which appeals to the human heart is music. BROWNING I’ve made a friend of Browning, He’s been a good pal to me. We have traveled often together, To places over the sea. He’s shown me the life of the villa, The life of the city square, We’ve studied the peddlers and dancers Who daily congregate there. Often at night by the fireside, I would listen and hear him tell Of Damfreville and the French fleet, Which was saved by Herve Riel. At times he’d tell of The Patriot, Cf Ben Ezra a man of the creed. Both men who gave the world their best, Of such the world has need. Whenever I go with him, He says things I can’t ken, He talks in phrases and figures, Of artists and all great men. But I'll go again with him, To another distant shore, Can’t you come along sometime? His works are an open door. David E. Gallant, ’23. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 “Songs of a City” By John A. Holmes, 1923 HEODORE Schirmer, a composer of much promise in his younger days, whose ‘Songs of a City’ are well known, is to be honored by a tab- let erected over his grave by grateful lovers of his music.” Granison laid the musical magazine on the broad arm of his chair and gazed out of the window of the dim library of his club. He read the short paragraph again. The name brought back a chance remark made by an acquaintance: “I believe old Schirmer once tried some musical foolishness but gave it up.” Somehow “grateful lovers of his music” did not sound foolish to him. Raising his voice so that the young man sunk in a deep chair near- by might hear, Granison said: “Paul, what can you tell me about Theodore Schirmer, a composer? Theodore Schirmer al- ways meant to me the head of Schirmer and Son, the Broad street jewelers.” He showed him the magazine and the short paragraph that had raised the query. “That’s an odd question,” said Paul Braine, a young musician of some note, “and I doubt if anyone knows the whole answer. Perhaps I can partly explain. I know an old teacher of piano who studied with Schirmer in New York and abroad. The jeweler was a musician once. Heinze, the teacher, often told me that Schir- mer was a very ambitious composer for many years. I heard his story bit by bit and by piecing it together I can give a reasonable ac- count of his life. “About thirty-five years ago Theodore Schirmer was a hard-working young student, rather well known in musical circles of the city as a pianist and music-lover. He was very well informed concerning the history of music and musicians. His father and uncle, in the jewelry business, deplored his studies and con- stantly urged him to give them up and learn the trade with them. But jewelry held no charms for him. He was still a young man when he went to Italy to finish his education and delve in the traditions of European music. He returned a few years later and announced that he had turned to composition and would start work at once on some operas, the ideas for which he had gained while abroad. He set to work in a iittle studio off Lincoln Square, and abandoned the musicales and tea parties, where he was welcome, and set out in earnest to become a second Mendelssohn or Mozart. It was not long before he completed an opera and set about to publish it or sell it. Here he met his first rebuff. The musical publishers of our city were not aware that he was a com- poser of great merit and were not eager to buy a long opera, setting forth the life and times of the immortal Shakespeare in rather monotonous theme. If I remember correctly, it was called ‘The English Muse’ and involved nearly every kind of art known to dramatic and musical writers. It took a long time to convince him that his opera was not a great success. 1 can imagine him going the rounds of the publishers’ offices, pompously at first, then gradually losing confidence at continued re- jections and finally admitting that ‘The Eng- lish Muse’ was not salable at that time. With a good deal of courage he undertook another work of a different nature which he called ‘The Dream Opera.’ He spent a good many years writing it and lived on the ragged edge to do it. To make a long and not especially cheer- ful story short, his second opera went the way of the first. His earlier failure hampered him and no publishing house would take a second attempt when the first had been turned down. Heinze, my old teacher, ultimately came into possession of the manuscripts and still has them. “This much I gathered from chance conver- sation among musicians, but I learned more from Heinze. Schirmer was naturally despond- ent at his failure. The best years of his life had been put into the study of music and the sincere desire and attempt to produce some- thing of value. So far he had accomplished nothing. There was always the jewelry busi- ness to fall back on, but oddly enough his pride still forbade that. After a period of inactivity, I believe he gave a recital, which was largely attended, for he was not entirely unknown, and at which he had the poor judgment to play selections from his two operas, which he still believed were destined to live. The recital (Continued on Page 62) 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “The Cloud With a Silver Lining” By Esther Cohen, 1925 O, I tell you, we can’t afford it, and what’s more, there’s no need of it! I was educated at the little red schoolhouse and I guess what’s good enough for me is good enough for you, so don’t let me hear no more about going to college. Better be gettin’ in that wood afore it rains, and don’t get one of your absent-minded spells and forget to feed the pigs and chickens.” So saying, the woman betook herself to her churning, while the boy shuffled out and closed the door. Sauntering along, with his mind still upon the subject nearest his heart, a college educa- tion, he headed for his favorite haunt—the old bank of oyster shells, which have been lying heaped up at Damariscotta since the Indians dwelt there, long years ago. As was his custom, he began to dig and poke among the shells, now and then unearthing a bit ot pottery, which he dropped absent-mindedly into his pocket, his thoughts bent all the while upon the “schooling” for which he longed. In fact, so interested was he, that he did not see the sudden shower coming up, and his first consciousness of it was a vivid flash of light- ning. , . ... . , Running back to the barn he nearly collided with a strange gentleman who had taken shel- ter there. “Well, young man, I suppose it is all right for me to stay here until this beastly shower is over, isn’t it?” asked the gentleman, trying to make himself heard above the roar of the thunder, rain and wind. The boy assured him it was, and thrusting his hands'into his pocket, boy fashion, kept the gentleman silent company until the worst of the storm was over. Now this lad with the ambition to become a scholar was like other boys in one respect— he always had a hole in at least one pocket, and this particular pocket happened to be the one where rested the curios. At this point one of them fell through to the floor and rolled over to the stranger’s feet. He picked it up and after having examined it curiously, ex- claimed:— “Son, where did you find this?” The boy, delighted to have someone take an interest in what his mother termed “trash,” told the gentleman about the bank of oyster shells and how he dug here and there during his spare time, and picked up bits of pottery, which he unearthed and had collected a box full, stowed away in the barn for curiosities. “You wouldn’t want to sell them, son?” “Sell them? I’ll give you a part of them if you wish.” “No! no! I don’t mean to rob you. Do you not know these Indian relics are worth money and that you have a small fortune of them?” “Enough to go to college?” “Enough to certainly give you a big start through any college you wish,” replied the man, “and when you wish to sell them, I will be the purchaser, as I am interested in a mu- seum which will be glad to have them.” Needless to say, the relics and money changed hands, and the lad who roamed around the oyster-shell banks at Damariscotta picking up relics, is today a university professor, one of our learned men. For him, the “Thunder Cloud” certainly had a “Silver Lining.” “SONGS OF A CITY” (Continued from Page 61) was decidedly not a success bv the verdict of his audience and that of the musical critics, who were far more ready to praise a successful artist than an unsuccessful one. “Heinze told me that after that for a long time he disappeared and none of his former friends had heard of him or seen him. Then one day he turned up at Heinze’s studio. Thin, pale, poorly dressed, a bundle of manuscript under his arm, and a look in his eyes that made the good teacher fear for his sanity. “ ‘Josef,’ he said, T have come to tell you that tomorrow I enter the office of Schirmer as a member of the firm. I will forget all I ever knew about music. There I will be a success- ful man and make much money.’ This very bitterly. There was a long, uncomfortable pause. T am giving you some things I have written. The two great operas are there and may yet be recognized. There are a few songs which are of little value. One I made out of mere spite at the city and people who would (Continued on Page 78) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 63 “Greater Love” Bv Kenneth A. MacLeod, 1923 LOWLY the sun, amid a blaze of gold, sinks beneath the distant purple peaks of the Rockies, and the measureless, undulating plains of Northern Alberta are soon en- veloped in the silent, dreary gloom of a prairie night. The stillness is unbroken save for muffled rhythmic hoofbeats as a horse and rider slowly cross the range toward a dis- tant light that marks the small isolated Red Butte railroad station on one of the great transcontinental roads. The rider, mounted on a fine chestnut horse, wore the broad brimmed felt hat and natty uniform of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The three stripes on his sleeve showed his rank of sergeant, won by many years of faithful service, while his darkly tanned and heavily lined face told their tale of strenuous outdoor life, both under the burning sun of summer and in the hard, bitter cold of north- ern winters. The firm jaw bespoke persever- ance and courage, the high forehead intelli- gence, while the grey, piercing, yet kindly eyes showed to the world the clean, honest char- acter of John Graham, the man, rather than Sergeant Graham, one of the greatest man hunters in the service. These impressions are later verified as he takes from his pocket a small photograph of a woman and a little lad, for then the hard lines of his stern face soften and a happy smile lights up his countenance, because in a few days he will join his wife and little son whom he has not seen for ten years. Ten long years since the difficulty of making good in the old country had caused him to leave his family in a small British town and depart for faraway Canada. They are now aboard the C. P. R. liner Missanabie, due to arrive tomorrow in Montreal, where they will board the train and soon be whirled westward through the wilds of Ontario and over the great plains to Edmon- ton, the Alberta headquarters of the mounted police, where he will join them. But by this time he has reached his destin- ation and with the free, informal manner of the West, stabled and fed his horse before turning toward the small one-story frame building that served as a railroad station. On reaching the station he opened the door, and, stepping into the one large room that formed a combined waiting room and office, he was heartily greeted by an old grey-headed man who hastily rose from his seat and eagerly clasped the hand of the newcomer. “Well, if it ain’t Jack Graham himself,” grinned the old man, “I’m sure right glad to see you, old pard. And your family is coming out here too, I hear. I’ll wager you’ll be a happy old Turk when the train comes in, but Inspector MacDowell will certainly miss you from the service.” Meanwhile the other removed his hat, and unbuckling his belt with its holster and Colt 38 laid it on a table in the corner of the room. He then pulled forward a chair, and sitting before a big old-fashioned stove, where a hot, cheery fire quite dispelled the chill atmosphere of a late fall night, proceeded to renew old acquaintance with Bill Turnbull, the station agent. Later, after about an hour’s animated conversation filled with many pleasant reminis- cences of old times, the two fell silent until after a long pause old Bill arose and began to speak. “Well, John. I guess we—’’Crack! the old man’s arms flew violently upward, his eyes dilated with a look of horror, then with a hoarse cry he collapsed and fell groaning to the floor. Sergeant Graham, whirling around his chair, sprang to his feet only to be con- fronted by the muzzle of an ominous looking revolver in the hands of a tall man wearing a broad brimmed felt hat and having the lower part of his face covered with a large red hand- kerchief. “Just kindly hold up your hands, but don’t be alarmed, brother, the old fellow is only winged in the arm, he’ll be all right when he gets it bandaged up. I just took the precaution of putting his hand out of business so he couldn’t send any tales over the wire. Just keep quiet and you will be all right, but if you try any tricks I will not hesitate to shoot to kill,” he remarked quietly as he crossed the room and pocketed the sergeant’s revolver, which had been carelessly laid on the table by Graham. Meanwhile the trained mind of Sergeant Graham worked like lightning, his keen in- tellect immediately sensing serious trouble.

The school may well be proud of its orchestra. It is in truth a symphony orchestra, consisting of fifty members who play various and unusual instruments such as the viola, the flute and the tympani. Groups selected from the orchestra have played in public on several occasions, in- cluding an entertainment given for the pur- pose of purchasing a stereopticon lantern, a meeting of the Church Men’s Union of Som- erville, and a banquet at the First Church in Charlestown. A concert is promised soon after the Christmas vacation. THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club began its regular meet- ings early in October. There is a sufficient number to develop the organization to a high standard. No doubt there are other boys among the student body who have good voices, and who would do the school credit by join- ing the Glee Club. To them, we extend an invitation to come to our rehearsals, held on Wednesdays, at the close of school in the girls’ gymnasium. The club has been rehearsing for about two months and will soon be able to make their ap- pearance before the school. The faithful at- tendance of the members and their loyalty to the organization is a feature of which the school may justly be proud. Much appreciation is due Mr. McVey for his assistance. He is present at rehearsals on al- ternate Wednesdays. Mr. Plantinga is faculty adviser and organizer of the club. He is pres- ent at all our rehearsals. The Glee Club would be weak without their support. According to all indications the Boys’ Glee Club should have a successful year. The sup- port of the faculty and the student body is earnestly desired. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Early in October the Girls’ Glee Club met to begin the season of 1922-1923. The first thing accomplished at the last meeting in June, 1922, was the election of officers for this year, who are as follows: Lillian Leighton, leader; Fayette Haskell, assistant leader; Elizabeth Tibbetts, pianist; Miriam Gordon, treasurer; and Claire Tucke, secretary-librarian. The Girls’ Glee Club plans to present the opera “Princess Bonnie” this year, together with the Boys’ Glee Club. Both glee clubs have fine material. A great deal of real ability is being shown by all its members. The Girls’ Glee Club of 1922- 1923 is the largest in the record of Somerville High School. The girls will work hard at the rehearsals, which take place every Tuesday afternoon. THE MANDOLIN CLUB The second season of the Somerville High School Mandolin Club has opened successfully with a membership of twenty-five. The of- ficers are: Mildred Moses, president; Claribel Benjamin, treasurer, and Dorothy Jones, sec- retary. Dorothy Lawson and Elinor Payne, pianists. Miss Fury directs the rehearsals, which are held every Monday in the girls’ gym- nasium. The club has at present, besides a large number of mandolins, three banjo man- dolins, a guitar, and two tenor banjos and wel- comes the addition of any of these instruments. It is the intention of the officers to play before the school in the near future, and to that end a repertoire of the best mandolin selections is being carefully prepared. FIELD MUSIC Some pupils are still ignorant of what field music really is. Therefore the Radiator will give a brief outline concerning this branch of school activities. Field music is used for mili- tary or field purposes. The branches of the organization belonging to field music are:— School Band, leader, Atherton Witham; Boys Fife and Drum Corps, Group 1, leader, Walter Robinson: Group 2, leader, Warren Caswell. Girls’ Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps; leader, Rena Josie. (Continued on Page 70.) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR G5 Storran of Stockleigh By Nellie 1). Gray, 1921 HE world lay slumbering in a bed of snow, while the flakes came falling, falling, falling, making the world beautiful. High in the heavens the moon appeared like a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas. The serene silence was broken only by the wind among the gusty trees. Of a sudden, the-old Cathedral bells chimed out the first hour of a new-born day. Thus did the little town of Stockton, England, appear on the first day of January, 1893. The drive leading to Lord Chilton’s estate reminded one of a gypsy’s ribbon as the moon shed its rays upon it. It led to an exquisite home in the centre of the grounds. All was quiet, but the light in the right wing of the house was sufficient evidence of someone not yet in dreamland. It was on this cold winter’s night that little Dan Storran (later Lord Chil- ton) opened his eyes to behold a world of wonder. His cries were unnoticed by the per- sons in the room because of their anxiety to save the life that had given the world a life. But Lady Chilton had already passed inside the golden gates. Baby Dan was left in a great wide world that could take a life and ruin it, or make it great. We shall see which of these two was to be Dan Storran’s fate. It was the same winter’s night that Lord Chilton came home. He had been to the great city on business but had come home a broken and unhappy man. Ilis great wealth, the pride of his ancesters, had been demolished through mismanagement of an investment, and the pride that had been his was crushed and broken. The only things on earth that he pos- sessed were his home and his dear wife. Ah! Little did he dream that the life that had meant so much to him had been taken into a better keeping, leaving a new life for him to protect and cherish. After Lord Chilton was in a state where he , could think and plan normally he decided that his son should never know of the great stain that had been put on the once proud name of Chilton. Four months later Storran, Lord Chilton’s valet, who had been in the family for years and who later proved himself Lord Chilton’s great friend, left the traveling coach at the small town of Stockleigh, England. He is not quite alone, however, for a little child of a few months was being fondled in the arms of an elderly lady, who evidently was Storran’s wife, and had come to meet them. Although Baby Dan had been christened in his father’s name he was to take the name of his father’s servant. Thus began the interesting life of Lord Chilton’s son in the little town of Stock- leigh, England. Twenty-five years had elapsed since that cold winter night in January. It was not Stockton that we saw but Stockleigh, and it was spring. The budding boughs were bursting with their wealth of hidden glory, and the meadows and fields, when we looked at them, made us feel happy to be living in such a wonderful world. How the birds sang, sometimes reminding one of a singing angels’ choir. We were surprised to see a man of twenty- seven years, working and living an honest life and calling himself Dan Storran. He had mar- ried the girl of his choice and was very happy, blissfully ignorant of the fact that he had royal blood in his veins. It was an exciting day for Dan Storran when an elegantly dressed man claimed him to be the son of his rich client, Lord Chilton. After much discussion, explaining and proving Dan was told of the great wealth that he had in- herited by the death of his father. The belief that his fortune was lost had been later proven to be a false rumor. In the meantime his father had gained back through his hard labor, the vast wealth which was lost at the time of his son’s birth. Before he went away from Stockleigh to take possession of the estate of his forefathers he made provisions for some of those who had not been as fortunate as he, and as he said to his wife, Dora, “For those, my love, who have not been presented with a pot of good luck, as have you and I.” 66 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR HIGH SCHOOL HOYS AT “Y” STATE CONFERENCE Somerville had as its representatives at the annual state-wide Y. M. C. A. conference in Providence, December 8-10, twenty boys, of whom the following are at Somerville High School: Reginald Wentworth, Ian Walker, Robert Stetson, Stanley Teele. Norman Cod- ding, Ralph Rich, Fred Sime, Francis McCall, John Holmes, Dean Swan, Robert Holmes, Hugo Anderson, Ronald Nangler, Charles Newcomb, Warren Dolben, Rufus Choate, Franklin Thurs- ton, Edward Ninde, Douglas Fuller and Edson Sears. John Holmes was president of the dele- gation. and Norman Codding secretary-treas- urer. L. A. Price, boys' secretary of the local Y. M. C. A., was in charge. The delegates arrived in Providence Friday morning, December 8, and after looking over the city, registering and being assigned to homes for the duration of the conference, at- tended a service at the Central Congregational Church, at which Rev. Boynton Merrill deliv- ered an address. A banquet in the Providence “Y” gymnasium, at which the governor of Rhode Island and the mayor of Providence an- swered toasts, followed the afternoon meet- ing. Addresses were delivered in the Central Con- gregational Church Friday evening and Sat- urday morning by such speakers as Bishop Hughes, Arthur N. Cotton and Cameron Beck. Saturday afternoon the entire conference was entertained at Brown University by the pres- ident of the college, the musical clubs and members of fraternities. Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon and evening were spent at the Central Congregational Church, where Dr. Arthur Bradford, Cameron Beck and H. W. Gibson spoke. Features of this conference at Providence were the song services led by M. J. Brines and the beautiful organ selections by the organist of the Central Congregational Church. Over five hundred boys from the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island obtained in- struction and inspiration to enlarge their spirit- ual vision and enable them to become better members of the city, church and home. On Wednesday morning, November 29, Miss Hortense Neilson, a well known reader, pre- sented Drinkwater's “Abraham Lincoln” in the form of a reading. Tickets were sold for this entertainment at fifteen cents each and the hall was filled to capacity. The Somerville High School Players’ Club will present their first play before the members of the High School on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, December 20 and 21. The play is to be given twice to enable all members of the school to see it. At the request of the Somer- ville Teachers’ Club, Mr. John Avery, head- master of the school, is permitting the play to be repeated on Thursday evening, December 21, for the community. This play will be pre- sented without entrance fees. The play chosen for the Christmastide pres- entation is “Why the Chimes Rang,” written by Elizabeth MacFayden. It is the story of a Christmas legend.

Sloane, 1921 T was not mere chance that sent a child to Adelaide’s doorstep one bleak and dismal night in Febru- ary, to gladden the mother-heart and lead forth from the darkness into the light a concealed longing, but God. She was termed by the townspeople an “old maid,” yet although her face grew weary and wrinkled and the abundant chest- nut hair became streaked with gray, her ideas of youth and gaiety surpassed the imagina- tions of many less temperamental folk in Reeds- ville. Her home was littered with frivolous fancies from lands far east and west; she had traveled, reveled in luxury and returned a dif- ferent person. For the once so sweet, so de- mure and lovable Adelaide had passed from the purety and innocence of maidenhood into a selfish spinster. She now desired every little ■finery obtainable, knowing not the meaning of charity, of goodness to the needy and aid to the poverty stricken, in short she was con- ceited, held the good opinion of no person and was unloved. Then the great change took place! That which was to prove the remarkable salvation of a woman who had not yet found herself. Seated before the rays of a newly-kindled fire, comfortably ensconced in the voluminous depth of an easy chair, Adelaide was musing. She addressed the twinkling and darting flames: “Yes, I have all in the world to make me happy and content as far as clothes and wealth are concerned, but there is something lacking. Only today Mrs. Bentley purposely avoided me in the modistes’ shop. She, poorly married and mother of three outrageous imps, now in the age of losing teeth, long legs and tiresome talk, dares thus to treat me. Me! Am I not rich, would a friendship with me be with- out advantages?” Thus she pondered, until the shadows grew long and the beautiful stars ap- peared in the heavens, until lights burned in the homes of tired working men whose spirits were wonderfully revived by the greetings of their laughing children and cheerful, sympathetic wives. She swept airily aside the tray of food an anxious maid held before her, and sat for many hours in silent brooding. It was well to- ward the hour of eleven when Adelaide fancied she heard the cry of a child without. Glancing (Continued on Page 77.) THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL There are contained in this report of the Students’ Council many items which should have the earnest co-operation of every member of the school body. This second meeting of the council was held in room 205, November 27, 1922, with Leslie Thompson presiding. Fayette Haskell, chair- man of the Red Cross committee, reported the progress of the drive, and stated that only by aid from the students could the drive hope to be a success. “Have you joined?” A motion was suggested by the “Ways and Means Committee” that the members of the Students’ Council be in charge of the fire drill outside the building. This motion was passed and every student should willingly respond to the orders given by the members of the Stu- dents’ Council at a fire drill. The “Ways and Means Committee” also suggested the necessity of enforcing the filing through the proper exits and entrances from the rooms and the one-way stairways. A committee of three was appointed by the chairman to take charge of the filing. The committee is as follows: Fayette Haskell, chairman, James McGowan, and Albert Welch. A motion was made and passed that a com- mittee of one be appointed to see Miss Luce in regard to the selling of lunch tickets at the trout entrance to the hall for the convenience of the students. Harris Neil was appointed to serve on this committee. It was moved and passed that the officers of the three classes serve as ushers at all as- semblies. This is done for the convenience of the pupils and the sincere co-operation of every student is desired to conduct the assemblies in a proper manner. Arthur DePadua was appointed to see that the matter of repairing the drinking fountains throughout the school be taken up. If you have some criticism or suggestion for the benefit of the school give it to some mem- ber of the council and it will be taken up at the meetings. 68 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR VOTES ot The ALVAANI CATTPBELL-08 1922.

(Continued on Page 75) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 60 “GREATER LOVE” (Continued from Page 63) As large amounts of money were never kept here in the office safe conditions showed clearly that a train robbery was planned, pos- sibly one that involved a wreck. But, if so, when and where would the action take place? Quickly glancing at the clock he saw that it was now nine-forty. The Overland Limited is due at ten-five, going west; the Atlantic Ex- press, going east, at two-eight. Then the Over- land must be the train involved! The scene of the intended crime would probably be set a short distance west of Red Butte, else why should this station be held up as a prelude to the actual crime? The next thought that naturally flashed through his mind was that the intended holdup might be circumvented. He stood here unarmed facing an armed man who he knew would shoot to kill with little provocation. To leave the build- ing was impossible. To attempt to send a mes- sage over the wire was suicidal and almost certain failure would result. Consequently the terrible yet inevitable thought of what he must decide to do surged through his tortured brain as love for his family and loyalty to the service fought desperately for supremacy. He thought frantically of his wife and child who were soon to join him. What right had he to risk leaving them here a widow and orphan lonely and uncared for in a strange land? Why not let things take their course? His enlistment expired in a few days and his action might never be found out. He tried to justify his course by thinking any other impossible and by trying to persuade himself that probably his theory of the whole affair was incorrect. But when the dreadful picture of the suffer- ing and death that would be inflicted upon scores of innocent passengers in the event of a wreck; yes, even what might happen to his own beloved wife and child had they com- menced their journey a few days earlier, for this would be the train on which they would have to travel, he fought down all selfish thoughts and determined to save the train at all costs, his face flushing as he thought of what he might have done and of the stain he might have implanted on the well nigh spotless record of the Canadian Mounted Police. But to succeed he must act quickly or the flyer would pass Branton fifteen miles east- ward and all would be lost. Therefore, knowing that the desperado thought that he knew nothing of telegraphy, he hoped to stage a surprise and send a warning over the wire to Branton. So carefully hiding his thoughts under a somewhat sheepish expression that might not be unnatural to one seemingly checkmated, he asked if he might have a seat. The outlaw nodded and feeling secure in his position slightly lowered the muzzle of his weapon. Jack Graham seated himself and sat silently for a few moments, then suddenly low- ering his hands he threw over the switch and placing his hand on the key dashed off B-r-a-n-t-o-n—S-t-o-p—O-v-e-r-l-a-n-d—up came the outlaw’s arm. click went the hammer as the gun misfired—R-o-b-b-e-r-y P-1—Crack! spat out the gun and without a word the body of the sergeant suddenly stiffened, then relaxed, fell to the floor in a quivering heap and soon lay still, while a great crimson flood slowly oozed from a gaping wound in his breast and mingled with the bright scarlet of his tunic. Meanwhile, fifteen miles distant, the sounder of the Branton station loudly clicked out its brief, ominous message, which was fortunately picked up by the operator and in a few mo- ments, just as the rails began to hum and the distant, dull roar of the engine’s exhaust heralded the swiftly approaching train the re- assuring green glow of the signal blinked into a bright red shaft of warning. In another mo- ment the flyer arrived and with screaming brakes she was hastily brought to a halt from a sixty-mile clip. Then while the great loco- motive stood sullenly panting as a great beast held in leash, the trainmen rushed from the cars and hurried along the platform to the station, where a white-faced operator related the warning message just received from Red Butte. Consequently, after a brief consultation, a party of section men were quickly roused from sleep in a near-by bunk house, who, ac- companied by three armed guards, soon pro- ceeded down the line on a motor trolley to as- certain the condition of the tracks, while the express remained behind at the station. The sergeant’s theory was fully confirmed, for a quarter of a mile west of Red Butte they found that on a curve the spikes were torn up and two rails removed from the roadbed, a condition that would surely have caused quite as terrible disaster as that anticipated by the policeman. But thanks to his noble self-sacri- flce and presence of mind in giving the warn- ing the damage was soon repaired and the flyer proceeded on her way westward, the majority of the passengers in her long line of sleepers (Continued on Page 77.) 70 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Rooks should to one of these four ends con- duce, To wisdom, piety, delight or use.”—Denham. “A bit of popular fiction now and then Is relished by the most scholarly men.” If we peeked into their libraries we would probably find a group of recent books on the tables and although such books will not stay there long they have at least been read. Many men read those more to study the trend of the time, to criticize, and to deplore the de- cadence of literature, than to enjoy them as stories, but I think they secretly do spend a pleasant hour with them. Not the most recent book, but still popular, is Hemans’ story, “Maria Chapdelaine.” “ ‘Maria Chapdelaine’ has the supreme simplic- ity of a master work,” says one noted author. The scene of this moving tale is the back country of Quebec, about Lake Saint John. Maria is the daughter of a French-Canadian whose passion was for clearing rather than for the tilling of the earth, who repeatedly built up a comfortable farm, only to sell out and seek the unbroken ground again. There were few visitors from outside but those few found Maria beautiful and desirable. Her first lover, Francois, the trapper from farther north, was caught and lost in a fierce snowstorm, and when it came to a decision between her two other lovers, one from the states and the other her nearest neighbor, after some wavering she made the choice of a pioneer’s daughter and decided to stay with her own people. “The Breaking Point,” by Mary Roberts Rinehart, is the story of a clean-minded, gen- erous doctor, who, in the midst of a very prom- ising career, learns that there is an unpleasant affair connected with his youth in the Far West. He left his profession and the girl he loved to discover just what it was. While there, by a trick of his mind, he utterly forgot the passage of ten years and believed himself back to the time of his disgrace. His fiance thought him a faithless lover, but when his mind be- came normal again, he returned ready to marry her, for his name was, after all, guiltless. “White Company,” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is an historic tale of England in the days of Edward III and the adventuresome Black Prince. “Captain Blood,” by Sabatini, is just the kind of story boys like, a thrilling romance of the Spanish Main. “There is no more to be said, gentlemen. My name is Blood. Captain Blood if you please.” This Captain Blood, as described by William Lyon Phelps, is a rip-roaring, swash-buckling, piratical sea-dog. The es- capades of this charming rapscallion are re- cited with clean-cut simplicity and consum- mate skill in construction. “Companionable Books” is a group of essays on famous writers. “By companionable books I mean those that are worth taking with you on a journey where the weight of luggage counts, or keeping be- side your bedside near the night lamp, books that will bear reading often and the more slowly you read them the better you will en- joy them, books that not only tell you how things look and how people behave, but also interpret nature and life to you in language of beauty and power, untouched with the person- ality of the author, so that they have a real voice audible to your spirit in the silence.”— Van Dyke. OCR MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS (Continued from Page 64) With the exception of the band they are di- vided into groups—fourteen in all. The aver- age number in each group is eight. These groups work at right angles with the school program, i. e., they do not conflict with any one class more than once in six weeks. There are also two sections—a section to which mem- bers who are beginners belong and the second section for advanced members. As a beginner becomes sufficiently trained he is promoted to the advanced group. At the end of the school year these branches all par- ticipate in the activities pertaining to the school and outside affairs as they are auth- orized. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 71 Grace Figved, Exchange Editor The Value of an Exchange Every school has its special reason for an exchange department. The first reason is, of course, improvement of our own departments through the helpful criticisms of our ex- changes, “What we think of their paper by comments,” as the “Clipper” expresses it. But the greatest value, if you stop to think, is the broadening influence. When we read the live papers and magazines published by live boys and girls in the West, North and South we feel a little more outside our own small sphere. For you know we exchange with schools in Maine, New Hampshire, Arizona, California and Kentucky! AS WE SEE OTHERS The Taconic.—You have many fine features in your June issue. Your article on the “Woodrow Wilson Foundation” is to be com- mended. Additions to your few good cuts would greatly add to your magazine and so would a story with a good plot! The Recorder.—We don’t think much of the “first page” so to speak, the contents and pub- lishing announcements, coming in the middle of the magazine! Can’t your magazine be en- larged since you publish it only five times a year? Your stories are exciting! Congratula- tions on the Arlington game! PUBLIC OCCURRENCES (Continued from Page G6.) The cottage and altar are to be built under the direction of Forrest Miller, head of the manual training department. The stained glass window is being made by, and the altar being decorated by, students under the direction of Blanche S. Bradford, head of the art department. The costumes are planned by Julia E. Haley, head of the dressmaking department. The lighting effects are being carried out The Advance.—Your magazine is well-bal- anced, but why not discover an artist for de- partmental cuts, for distinction, as good as your cover design? Your method of commenting on vour exchanges is surely original, but too space- taking for its purpose, even though entertain- ing. The Western Star.—You have a fine literary department. It is interesting to note that so many clubs can so predominate in school ac- tivities and “hold their own” so successfully. The Imp, Brighton High School.—A neat little magazine. We have only one fault to find with the first installment of your serial story. Too short! “The Brighton Tigers” was good! The Quill.—You have a wonderful exchange department and your cuts are the most humor- ous we have seen! Your stories are good, too. The Southern Bell.—A well-balanced and in- teresting little magazine. The Bostonia, Boston University.—It is in- teresting to note how extensive is your depart- mental news, and how far back you are able to obtain alumnae notes. The Blue and Gold, Malden High—Yours is a well-written and interesting paper. We don’t care much for your jokes however. by William Obear, head of scientific depart- ment.

Somerville scored the first touchdown to be made against St. John’s this season, but was beaten 21 to 6. Jeremiah won the toss. Walsh kicked off to Wells, who ran the ball back- twenty yards. Wells then punted to St. John’s twenty-yard line. Sullivan and McCabe made two first downs. Peterson intercepted a forward pass on his fifteen-yard line. Wells then punted to midfield. Line rushes by Sullivan, McCabe and Walsh were followed by a lateral pass to Sul- livan, who ran forty yards for a touchdown. Walsh missed the goal, but as a Somerville man was offside the goal counted. In the second period St. John’s had the ball on their twenty-yard line. In two plays they scored a touchdown. A forty-yard end run by Walsh was followed by a lateral pass to Sul- livan, who ran forty yards for a touchdown. The red and blue was again offside and the goal counted. On the kick-off Wells ran the ball from his five-yard line to his forty-yard line. A forward pass, Peterson to Mattern, netted ten yards. Simpson gained two first downs by going through the line. Another lin plunge by Simpson gained nine yards and Wells made first down. St. John’s was then pe lalized five yards for offside, and a forward pass, Jere- miah to Mattern, gave Somerville the only touchdown scored on St. John’s this season. Jeremiah missed the goal. In the third period Fraser kicked off to Walsh, and after St. John’s had made two first downs, Wells intercepted a forward pass. Som- erville then started a march down the field. Smithwick stopped the advance by recovering a red and blue fumble on his thirty-five-yard line. Sullivan made a twenty-yard end run and Dorsey went through the line for ten yards. The only forward pass that St. John’s com- pleted during the game, Dorsey to Crowley, gained fifteen yards more. Sullivan made nine yards and McCabe went over for the touch- down. Captain Dorsey kicked the goal. The last quarter was shortened to four min- utes and the game ended with Wells punting far into St. John’s territory. ST.

Somerville fumbled and Saun- ders recovered it on the Somerville thirty-five- vard line. Rogers intercepted a forward pass on his twenty-five-yard line. Wells then punted fifty yards. Kane ran it back twenty yards. Two line plunges gained seven yards. Then Cap- tain Corkery took the ball on an off-tackle for twenty yards, being stopped on the two-yard line. Corkery made one yard, then Kane went over for a touchdown. Saunders kicked the goal. Saunders kicked off to Jeremiah, who was downed on his thirty-five-yard line. Wells kicked for fifty-five yards. Saunders’ punt was almost blocked and a Rindge player fell on it. Rindge was then penalized five yards, placing the ball on the Rindge thirty-five-yard line. Jeremiah then tried a forward pass but it was intercepted by Kane on his ten-yard line. Saunders then punted offside on his thirty- yard line. Again Kane intercepted a Somerville forward and ran it back thirty yards. O’Neil recovered a fumble, giving Somerville the ball. In the second period Somerville had the ball on the fifty-yard line, Wells punted offside on the twelve-yard line. Saunders kicked offside on his thirty-five-yard line. Jeremiah failed to complete a forward pass, giving Rindge the ball on the Rindge forty-yard line. Saunders then punted to the Somerville forty-yard line, where Jeremiah fumbled the ball and Hughes recovered for Rindge. One of the best forwards was completed by Saunders to Kane, for thirty yards, who then went over for a touchdown. Saunders failed to kick the goal. Saunders re- covered a Somerville forward pass on the forty- five yard line; a forward pass, Kane to Corkery, gained thirty yards, and then another pass was juggled by three Rindge players on the goal line. The referee gave Somerville the ball on the twenty-yard line. Wells punted to the fifty- yard line. In the last quarter both teams opened up their style of play, but both teams were evenly matched. Wells easily outpunted Saunders. RIXDGE SOMERVILLE Robertson, Jewell, Hunt, 1. e., r. e..

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.

Congratulations to Chester Mattern upon his selection as All Scholastic End. How did your room stand in the recent Red Cross drive? Room 309 was the first to be 100%. A party of five students from this school went to State’s Prison last week, to visit, of course. Very interesting, but they all agreed that school wasn’t so bad after all. The city must be going to sell the school judging by the interior decorating going on. The Drum Corps has performed excellent work all the fall by successfully frightening the birds off the campus, but we hope that they will resume their operations in the spring—in another section of the city. It would be a good thing for us to remember some of those slogans used in conjunction with Educational Week. “Students today, citizens tomorrow,” conveys a wealth of meaning. 1924 Kenneth Campbell—Editor. Hester Smith—Assistant Editor. The second meeting of the Junior class was held on November 24, 1922. President Thomp- son opened the meeting, first speaking of the unsuccessful attempt of the last meeting foi fixing the amount of the class dues. A mo- tion was made and seconded that all busi- ness of the previous meeting be reconsidered. This brought the approval of nearly the whole class. The secretary’s report was then read and accepted. Then a motion was made and seconded that the class dues be twenty-five cents. A unanimous vote was rendered by the class. Mr. Mahoney, at the request of our president, spoke on the importance of paying our class dues. He also spoke of the evident lack of spirit of our class, but concluded that he hoped to see an improvement. Mr. Neil, our treasurer, spoke, urging the class to pay their dues as soon as possible to the proctors. The meeting adjourned at 9.05. 309 was the first room to have 100 per cent, in class dues, followed closely by rooms 303 and 304 respectively. What is your room doing? Where does it stand? At a recent class meeting we decided that our class dues would be twenty-five cents for the year. This decision overruled a previous one which was that class dues be ten cents. We must pay our class dues; it is the least we can do. Without money we can do nothing. If it wasn’t for the pencil sharpener certain SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR y people in 309 would never get any exercise. They must feel grateful toward the donors. The Sophs they think they have it hard, The Juniors know they do, But the Seniors they enjoy themselves, And never work ’tis true.

ATHLETIC LETTERS AND SWEATERS (Continued from Page 73.) 2. That letters should be a yarded as fol- lows :— (a) Football—Red-block S to be worn on a blue sweater. (b) Baseball—Blue-block S to be worn on a dark red sweater. (c) Track—Red-round S to be worn on a white sweater. (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. From 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 pro- ficiency 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.” 70 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Four-year-old Bobby was stroking his cat before the fireplace in perfect content. The cat, also happy, began to purr loudly. Bobby gazed at her askance for a while, then suddenly seized her by the tail and dragged her roughly away from the hearth. His mother interposed. “You must not hurt kitty, Bobby.” “I'm not,” said Bobby protestinglv, “but I’ve got to get her away from the fire. She’s be- ginning to boil.” “You will have to hand it to him,” remarked the football fan as the left end dropped a for- ward pass.

Adelaide flung a cloak about her shoulders and was on the front porch in an instant. Reaching the child she found it to be unconscious, and tenderly lifting it from the cold ground, carried it into the house. She called for warm milk and forced it between the tiny, pale lips of the baby whose whole body was numb from the cold of the fierce wind which howled and raged. With the little girl safe and in her own bed Adelaide for once sensed a feeling of happi- ness, as if a dream had been fulfilled. The storm had broken, having raged within her soul too long, and when the first gray light of dawn entered the room it fell upon Adelaide’s face upturned to heaven, blessing the Almighty who had seen fit to confer this honor upon her, the unappreciative, unworthy and selfish woman of yesterday. The clothing of the little waif disclosed the seal of the Foundlings’ Home, and after neces- sary arrangements Adelaide was allowed to adopt the child, who soon became her most precious charge. In later years she told her daughter of a foolish woman’s ignorance of the blessings of life and love, and the transformation. “GREATER LOVE” (Continued from Page 69) never realizing their peril until they had reached Prince Rupert. It was a sad homecoming for Mrs. Graham and her son, but the people of Edmonton were very kind to her and thanks to the generous comrades of the sergeant, who raised a sub- stantial trust fund, she was able to live com- fortably until her son became old enough to support her. By popular subscription the people of the city placed a great shaft of mar- ble over the sergeant’s grave that bears the following inscription: Sergeant John Gra- ham, Royal Northwest Mounted Police. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” 78 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “SONGS OF A CITY” (Continued from Page 62) not reward my work.

It was the group of ‘Songs of a City’ that became immediately popular among musicians and are still played and known. I played the first movement of the group for a radio broadcasting station last week. Those songs have fame, originality, and feeling. It took a tragedy to make Theodore Schirmer write those, and then he went to sell- ing diamond rings. He lived to see his songs successful and we can only imagine his feelings at the realization that he had produced last- ing music. But it was too late. Most people think of the great glittering windows on Broad street when they think of Schirmer, but I think of a young-old boy in a cold, empty garret, the grim stamp of tragedy on his features, writing, writing, as he looked out across the great city. His very success was his greatest failure, and the most eloquent memory of him is a marble shaft above his grave and the little paragraph: “ Theodore Schirmer, a composer of much promise in his younger days, whose “Songs of a City” are well known, is to be honored by a tablet erected over his grave by grateful lovers of his music.’ ” Jttatntalaitt 2 STORES WASHINGTON ST.

Too much wealth may cause loss of ambition, but enough is needed to enable a man to do his best work. I wish you a position in life in which efficient effort is rewarded,—with enough work to inspire enthusiasm. I wish you good health or, if you have physical discomforts, the strength to bear them patiently and without annoy- ance to others. I wish you happiness and many true friends. I wish you the joy of doing for others whose lot is not as pleasant as your own. I wish you success, not alone in dollars and cents, but also in the treasures of good deeds, clean thinking, and the enjoy- ment of the best things of life. John A. Avery. The editor often is asked why more cartoons are not used, why cuts are not made more frequently and why the Radiator is not larger. This brings up the question of finance and demonstrates that over ninety per cent, of the student body have no conception of Radiator finances. We don’t like to keep harping on the subject of money and we don’t mind being criticised, but a plain statement of finances may help. The Radiator is an entirely self-supporting publication and derives its revenue from sub- scriptions and advertisements. The cost of printing a single issue of the Radiator is $168.00 for 1,000 copies of twenty-four pages. Each extra hundred copies costs $3.50 and each extra page $6.06. This year we publish 1,300 copies of twenty-eight pages, making our monthly bill $202.50. We received $1,020 in subscriptions and have the required $1,600 with our advertisements. Every page of car- toons costs between $12.00 and $15.00 and can be used but once. Every cut costs $10.00 or $12.00. It can be easily seen that we cannot in- dulge in many cartoons or new cuts. The Year Book must have some Radiator capital to start with and the problem of financing it is now engaging our business staff. The Radiator box, installed at the main en- trance of the West building, should fill a long felt want. When the bulletin says turn all ma- terial into Miss So and So of Room this or that the chances are that you can’t find her the particular moment you have that joke in mind or that item of interest, and that material is thus forever lost. But if you can just drop a memorandum in a box, as you leave for lunch or home, the Radiator should be flooded with material. From our study of our exchanges we judge there are three types of high school publica- tions. First, the faculty supervised, maintain- ing a high literary standard and a dignity of composition and material. Second, also faculty supervised but maintaining a strong personal element by the use of local and individual items. And third, the utterly unsupervised paper with its slang and so-called ‘‘pep.” We believe the Radiator to belong in the first class. However, we desire to make the Radiator belong in both classes one and two. While still maintaining our dignity we desire to strike the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 87 personal note. This we hope to accomplish by a department of items concerning activities of students and teachers outside and inside of school. Other papers have such departments called variously, “Locals,” “In the World,” “School News,” etc. We can be exceedingly in- teresting if both students and teachers will co-operate. In our first attempt it has proved to be the hardest department in the paper to get. Everyone seems ashamed to be doing anything outside of school. If you or anyone you know is in a show, church, school or club drop an item about it in the box. If you play basketball for some team, if you take any in- teresting trips, if you do anything at all, it’s news. Give it to us. 1923 is well started on its way to its place among the years. It will probably see great occurrences in the world, in the nation and in the lives of many of us. The world has mighty problems to dispose of. 1922 left a fateful legacy of disputes, opposing policies, distrust and open hatred among many of the nations. 1923 may or may not see the ironing out of these problems. Many of them decades alone can erase. 1923 will probably see the last American troops home from foreign lands. The reparations question in Europe has come to a head and 1923 should see a definite settle- ment either for or against enforcement of the treaty terms. At present France is trying her policy of forceful taking of reparations. If it does not succeed even the wisest minds cannot see the outcome. Russia is still a sore spot in regard to which the old adage: “What can’t be cured, must be endured” may eventually be adopted. England is apparently coming back to normal but with great problems of unem- ployment and credit. The Turk in the Near East has risen strongly from the ruins of the war, being one nation that profited by being defeated. Certain nations of Eastern Europe, notably Czecko-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia, are prosperous, contented nations, but Hungary and Poland are hard pushed by famine and the Red disease. The Far East is still the Far East, minding its own affairs whatever they may be. All in all, 1923 has quite a sizable job on its hands to right the world. In the nation, prohibition, tariff and unem- ployment are still the standard problems, with the Ku Klux Klan an added question. We, per- sonally, believe that the Ku Klux Klan, out- side of one or two states, exists largely in the minds of the editors of certain newspapers which feature sensational material. The best cure for the Ku Klux would be utter and positive silence on the part of the press. We are reminded of the story, entirely fictitious, of a senator, who during the war was a violent obstructionist, and did his level best to make us lose the war. Editors used reams of paper writing scathing contumely, he was berated by every newspaper correspondent as a traitor and Judas, papers carried his name in startling headlines, but he thrived and waxed even more' troublesome. Suddenly his name dropped out of every journal in the land. A secret edict went forth excommunicating him from the press. Within a month he resigned his seat in the Senate and a year later his body was taken out of the river. He lived on publicity. The Ku Klux Klan does the same. Cut out all free advertising in the press which gives it such an appeal to the uneducated, ferret it out in the few Southern states where it really exists, and the Ku Klux Klan would no longer be a problem. In our individual lines, many of us will make a great change. Some of us will enter college, others begin their battle with the world. Both necessitate a step ahead from high school days, ideas and habits. May 1923 see the right steps in all our lives. The Senior-Junior Play is the social event of the High School season. Class loyalty should impel seniors and juniors to attend, but the play itself is well worth seeing. “Nothing But the Truth” is just one laugh from curtain to curtain and a splendid cast make the most of their opportunities. “Nothing But the Truth” has been presented, professionally, in Boston, several times. 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR IN MEMORIAM CLARA A. JOHNSON Beloved teacher and friend. Unstinting in her devotion to her family, she gave,—to the limit of her strength,—sympathy, service and unusual self-denial. In twenty-five years in our school she taught, through inspiration and pre- cept, day after day, with patience and kindly spirit, lessons in scholarship, faithfulness and love of work which have left an imprint upon hundreds of pupils. Whole-heartedly interested in her city and her co-workers, she was ever ready with help- ful hand and kindly constructive thought to advance the cause of civic and educational progress. Leading a daily life of Christian fortitude, beloved by all, a friend to all, she leaves with us a living memory of pure womanly character, of indomitable courage, of loving sympathy, of Christlike living. John A. Avery. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 89 Clara Johnson—My Friend By Lucy Ingram Topliff She was ray friend, faithful and just to me. These are the words which come oftenest to my lips when trying to express what the friendship of Clara Johnson has meant to me. It is a common word and an old one, that of friend. How it gleams forth from the far off days! “Very pleasant hast thou been unto me. Thy love to me was wonderful.” Or again, “Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friend.” Today it is heard often in our daily inter- course. Sometimes it is bandied about and desecrated; and sometimes it is uttered with such conviction that it carries one to the high- est plane of self-sacrifice. The characteristics of true friendship: faith that does not waver, loyalty that does not swerve, a love that gives all, demanding nothing in return, these Miss Johnson illustrated to a marked degree. So many years we have been associated, she and I, in our social life as well as in our work. In those earlier days, she was always the same radiant creature, the laughing dark eyes, the happy smile, lighting up her expressive face. I remember so well a meeting of a club in Boston, the social success for which I chanced to be responsible. I wrote Miss Johnson asking for aid and as usual she responded whole-heart- edly. I don’t believe any friend ever asked for help, but what, if it were in her power, she gladly complied. It happened on this par- ticular afternoon that a clever speaker was sup- posed to and did interest us, but how proud we were to notice that later at the tea table, where she presided, she was continually surrounded by those held captive by her delightful person- ality. Enthusiastically we complimented her on a success more flattering than that of the speaker. “Oh,” she laughed, “it’s just because you look with partial eyes,” and then with that humility so characteristic of her, she added, “but I am so glad if I helped.” Her sympathies were broad, and though she had many friends she gave herself to each and all, ready with kindness and quick understand- ing. It happened for some years that I was away, but we kept our friendship unbroken. Her loving thought never failed. If good, glad things came to me, hers was almost the first word of rejoicing. When sorrow came, as it comes to all, her sympathy was assured. Never was there a friend more true. If I were asked to name that characteristic which impressed it- self most strongly on her associates I should say, her loyalty. We might differ in our ideas. No matter. We might think along different lines. It was of no importance. She knew us and nothing could shake her faith. She under- stood and loved us even though she saw the question from an entirely different angle. Her loyalty to her home, her family, is known to all who knew her. She lived it every day and because she did, this world is a better place. To the young people, such a life is an inspira- tion. In days of doubt and uncertainty, per- chance there may be many, particularly those who came directly under her influence, who will recall her devotion to duty; her fine loyalty, her beautiful unselfishness, and so remember- ing will go forward with renewed courage be- cause she lived her quiet, unobtrusive and noble life. And so one and all we salute her; she of the brave heart and high ideals. All hail and farewell! DO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR At the Edge of the World ROM Riversmouth you may look across two miles of salt marshes and see on the horizon a stately row of wind and water-swept sand- dunes. The effect of this is so much as if a gigantic explosion had blown off a piece of the earth and had left these dunes at the edge of the hole, that the people of Riversmouth have nicknamed the place “The Edge of the World.” At the northern end of Pan Island, for such is the true name of the row of sand-dunes, is a magnificent bathing beach, a golden crescent, several miles in length. Along this beach are built the homes of the rich and the noble, and on this beach and in the water before it their sons and daughters enjoy themselves through- out the summer months. One day, when the cities were groaning and sweltering in the heat, the inhabitants of Pan Island Beach were enjoying themselves in Nep- tune’s element. Among the bathers was a group of boys, who, in accordance with their venture- some spirits, had swum far out beyond the others and were now frolicking on the “bar.” From this group suddenly arose a cry. “Al! Oh, Al! A1 Westmore! Say, Al, what’s that black speck floating near you?” “Where?” cried Al, looking about. “Behind you, near the channel,” answered several voices. But Al had already given two leaps and a dive and had seized the object. The others clustered around him to examine it. It was a flat bottle, painted black except where two stripes, one red and one white, cir- cled it. The stopper was waxed and wired care- fully to the bottle. When the bottle was shaken, a rattling arose from the interior as if it were partly filled with pebbles. “Let’s go ashore and open it,” suggested someone, voicing the thoughts of them all. Accordingly they swam ashore and hastened to the nearest rock-pile, where the bottle was quickly demolished. From it rolled a quantity of small shot and a roll of paper. This roll was tightly tied and waxed on the outside. On being unrolled it was found to contain these words:— “The ship Ttaska’ of Boston, William Law- rence, master, of Boston, unshipped her rudder and shattered one propellor and two blades of the other in an encounter with an iceberg. Drifting helpless in 69 110' west longitude, 42° 20' north latitude at sunrise July 21, 192—, —two hours after the catastrophe.” “A wreck!” “Smashed her propellors!” “Drifting helpless!” “July twenty-first! Why, this is only the twenty-second! She must have hit yesterday morning!” “What shall we do about it?” demanded Andy Herrick. “Shall we call up the life-saving station at the lower end of the island?” “Best thing to do,” agreed most. “But we don’t know that it’s real,” suggested Baxter Hale, well known as a practical joker and therefore suspicious. “Cut it! Of course it’s real,” said Jack Marsh. “But if it's a real ship in real trouble why didn’t she use her wireless?” demanded “Bax.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 91 “Maybe she didn’t have one, or it was out of order,” interposed Andy. “Possible but not probable,” said “Bax.” “And anyway why should she throw out bottles when she could hail another ship?” “She might not have been in any trade route,” argued Andy. “She might be coming from Greenland for all we know.” “Yes, or from Australia and bound for Mada- gascar by way of Hudson’s Bay,” sarcastically rejoined “Bax.” “How could she bump into an iceberg with her stern anyway ?” “She was probably going slow in a fog,” sup- plied the argumentative Andy, “and the iceberg caught up with her.” But this was too much for the crowd, and only the timely entrance of Jack Marsh saved Andy from being mobbed. “I called up the life-saving station on Pan Island and the one at Harwich,” smilingly an- nounced Jack. “Aw! Now you’ve done it!” “Bax” exclaimed despondently. “We’re in for it sure, now!” “What do you mean?” queried Jack. “Never mind now. You’ll find out soon enough,” answered Andy prophetically. At coast guard stations numbers 4 and 5 great excitement prevailed. From each a swift power boat set out for Riversmouth, half way between them. The offices of the Blue Stripe Towing Com- pany of Riversmouth also boiled with excite- ment when two government launches sped up to the wharf and two coast guard officials jumped out and hastened to the doors. As soon as they were within hearing they began to implore the president to loan them two tugs for two days. They were still imploring after the president had consented and they only stopped when they were each installed as temporary captains of tugs 4 and 6. Eight hours of steaming brought them to the designated place and eight hours more con- vinced them that no such ship was in the vicinity or ever had been. Wireless communi- cation with various other ships within a radius of five hundred miles revealed nothing. And then the fun began! The regular captain of tug number 4, after an exciting megaphonie conversation with the captain of tug 5, accused the temporary cap- tain of being a liar. He fluently expressed his opinion of people who would call out two tugs on a wild-goose chase like this. The temporary captain replied in a way not well calculated to soothe the ruffled feelings of the accuser. Although he had nothing with which to defend his case, he made cutting re- marks about the Blue Stripe Towing Company, its ships, its employees and its efficiency in general and about the regular captain in par- ticular. The two badly fooled crews turned their boats back with all haste. So filled were the boats with men of fiery tempers, consumed with burning rage, that it seemed as if the boats themselves must join in the general conflagration and flame in sym- pathy. At the offices of the company, six angry men, two captains, two mates and two coast guard officials poured their accumulated anger into the receptive ears of the president. Naturally he sided with his employees and after hearing their tale, firmly requested Uncle Sam’s good men to leave him and not to show themselves to him again. As they left he fired a final volley of nouns and adjectives at them, that, had it been of projectiles, would have caused the United States to be lacking two life-savers. After leaving the offices of the Blue Stripe Towing Company the two coast guards hied themselves to the nearest telephone pay-sta- tion, where they held lengthy conversation with their respective stations. After hearing their story, leave was granted them to chastise the joker who had played this trick. They fortified themselves with a drink of water apiece and set out for the Bristol House whence came the telephone message. On their way down they formulated a plan of action. It was to enter the hotel with smiling faces and inquire of the clerk, who had given the information of a helpless ship at about two o’clock on the day before. After receiving the information, as they were sure they would, they would take the victim aside and pour out the vials of their wrath upon him. But when they entered the hotel lobby and made their inquiry of the clerk, “Bax” was near and heard them. He hastened to the ren- dezvous of his comrades (a small hollow in the sand hills, where, by posting a single sen- tinel, they could convene secretly). Here he found all his comrades. Without seating him- self he began his conversation. “Two of the life-savers came in and gee! were’nt they sore. They wanted to know where the idiot was who told them about the ship (Continued on Page 92) 92 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR School Spirit by Radio By John A. Holmes, 1923 R. George Norman Crosby, Jr., late of Waltersville, and now, much to his disguest, of Dickerton, was in the slough of despond. The situ- ation from any angle he viewed it was hopeless. Obliged to move on account of a change in his father’s business, he had left his high school during his junior year, just when everything was best. Now he was in a new house in a strange town twenty miles from Waltersville, staying for two months in a sort of solitary exile, since he could not enter the Dickerton High School. The fact that it was the football season, when he haunted the training field and locker rooms at borne, only made it worse. The only ray of hope was a game between Waltersville and Dicker- ton to be played in two weeks. Four days later found George facing a dif- ferent situation. He had just heard from his brother that the manager of his home town team had been discharged, leaving the business affairs of the team at loose ends. It had always been the custom of the Waltersville manager to issue a formal challenge and to placard their opponent’s town with posters. This was con- sidered as -much of a formality and as neces- sary as cheer leaders, water boys, alumni coaches, and many other attendant factors to a successful game. To George, who worshipped the game and all its participants, it was a mat- ter of the highest honor. The honor of his school. He liked the sound of that phrase and repeated it several times to himself. He was seated on the porch of his temporary home look- ing out over the leaf-strewn common. Sud- denly an inspiration came to him. With a whoop he dashed into the house and upstairs. Seating himself at his wireless, set up for want of better occupation, he rapped out a call for one of his friends in Waltersville. A half hour’s aerial conversation followed and the result was two days of whirlwind activity for George. On the afternoon of the game he stood on the station platform waiting for the train that would bring his team. He proudly surveyed the results of his labors. Down the main street as far as eye could see, on every bare fence, on every telephone pole, in every store window blazed an orange and black poster, announcing the game, designed and executed by G. Crosby, Jr. He had increased the attendance at the game by five hundred with good advertising and by the same medium had created a strong football spirit in the town. He knew that the Dickerton manager held a carefully written challenge from the Waltersville team. Further, he had made arrangements for a banquet for his team in the hotel dining room after the game. His chance had come and he had taken it and made good. He was proud of his work, as he had reason to be. At last he had performed a useful service for the honor of the school. AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD (Continued from Page 91) and said that if they found him they’d kill him.” This statement, while it did not adhere strictly to the truth, had the desired effect. Their terror was not so great but what they ■went systematically to work to save themselves. ‘‘We’d better send a spy to watch until they go,” suggested Andy practically. “How’ll we choose one? Nobody want’s to ■volunteer,” inquired A1 Westmore even more practically. “We’ll draw lots, it’s easy enough,” rejoined Andy. “All right then, pick up some small sticks,” assented Al. They proceeded to follow out both sugges- tions and Andy himself was “stuck.” After he had gone the boys settled them- selves for a long wait. Their conversation kept up, naturally enough, for the first half hour and then died. Then came the thunderbolt. “You see, Jack, I told you that we would be in hot water. I know that that message was a fake,” said “Bax.” “How?” queried Jack. “Yes. How?” demanded the others. “Well,” said Baxter, “you see, I wrote it my- self.” The story “At the Edge of the World,” printed in this issue, was passed in without any name. If the author will make him or herself known we will be glad to give him credit for it in our next issue. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 93 Boresford and Company By Fayette Haskell, 1923 ALLY Cassilis possessed an average amount of good looks; a decent amount of talent; and a goodly amount of character. Life to Sally spelt d-r-a-m-a. Watching or reading a play, she was content as long as it was drama. No one encouraged her to choose the stage for her career. And yet she did it. She knew she must connect herself with plays, somehow. Refined, educa- tional, and morally helpful plays became a part of her very life. With this in view she sought an interview with Mr. Boresford, manager of the Newcastle Theatre, London. The day of the interview came. Down a long, dirty, crowded alley she went, and up a dark, narrow flight of stairs. Summoning all her courage she firmly knocked at the old door, in the middle of which was the sign, C. F. Boresford, Private. Finally there came a pleasant “Come in!” She entered and stood nervously clasping and unclasping the fastening of her glove. Mr. Boresford was a powerfully built man, with soft white hair, a firm, healthv-looking, and intelligent face, and a pair of the bright- est eyes that Sally Cassilis had ever seen. “Fray be seated. Miss Cassilis,” said Mr. Boresford. “I understand that you want a po- sition in my company at Newcastle Theatre, Is that so?” “Yes, sir,” Sally replied, her heart beating normally once more. “What have you fitted yourself for? Have you had any experience?” were his next ques- tions. “I have studied carefully Shakespeare, Dunsany, Sowerby and Ibsen. As to ex- perience, this is my first attempt.” “I see. And yet,” the deep voice went on, “with no experience you expect a place in my company. Well! Well! We must not discourage such ardent ambitions.” Suddenly stopping his restless pacing, he thought for a moment or two, and then with a quick movement, said:— “Come with me. We shall see what we shall see.” Down the long passage they went, and en- tered the door from which sounds of loud voices could be heard. On the stage (for it was Mr. Boresford’s company rehearsing) the cast were enacting a scene from “The Cassilis Engage- ment.” “Could you do that?” Mr. Boresford turned and asked Sally. But Sally did not hear him, for her atten- tion was rapt in the players and the play. The rehearsal continued. Then “No! No! No!” Sally said. She turned to Mr. Boresford. “The effect is lost! The scene is ruined! The mother should come to the centre of the stage, not the daughter! The mother should be truly vulgar, in a Cockney fashion, and sob noisily with no attempt at dignity, whatever!” Then quickly Sally stopped! What had she done? What would Mr. Boresford think of her ? But what Mr. Boresford thought made Miss Sally Cassilis, stage manager and later C. P Boresford Com pani . MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR MISS CLARA A. JOHNSON On Tuesday, January 23, a brief memorial service was held in the auditorium for Miss Clara A. Johnson, for twenty-five years a teacher of English in our High School! At the close of the sixth period the senior classes and those divisions of the sopho- more class under Miss Johnson’s charge this year passed quietly into the auditorium. Head- master Avery spoke feelingly and earnestly of Miss Johnson’s long connection with the school, her faithful labors among us, and the life-long treasure which the memory of her example and influence will be to all who knew her. Following Mr. Avery’s address Cleon Hop- kins, cornetist of the senior class, rendered “The Vacant Chair.” All stood for a moment in silence tribute to the beloved instructor who is gone from us, then quietly dispersed. NOTICE. The Radiator will publish one page of car- toons in the next issue if the editor receives any of a sufficiently high grade. Come on, you artists. 94 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR RADIO CLUB Just before the Christmas vacation blanks were distributed to all the home rooms, to be filled out by persons desirous of being mem- bers of the Radio Club. Mr. Obear, head of the science department in the school, is the founder of the club. He hopes to enroll every person interested in wireless in this club. Directly after vacation an organization com- mittee was appointed to draw up a constitu- tion and make plans for the future welfare of the club. To date about 200 students have ex- pressed their desire to join this club. Sixteen of this number are girls, so it may be seen that it is not for boys alone. Eight boys in the club are licensed operators and two of them are taking the extension course at Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. THE SENIOR-JUNIOR PLAY The Senior-Junior Play will be presented Fri- day evening, February 2, in High School Hall. The play is the farce, “Nothing But the Truth.” “Bob,” in the person of our senior class presi- dent, after a heated argument and a ten thou- sand dollar bet, undertakes to tell the truth for twenty-four hours, while “Irv” Spering, “Ed” Hall and Alexander Brown test his ver- acity. He tells the absolute truth with direful results for all characters and complication quickly follows complication as he demon- strates how terrible the truth can be. The com- plete cast of characters is:— Mr. Ralston...........Alexander Brown, ’24 Dick Donnelly..............Edward Hall, ’23 Bob..............................Rollo Lewis, ’23 Van Dusen.....................Irving Spering, ’24 The Bishop.....................Anthony Lemos, ’23 Mrs. Ralston.....................Rena French, ’24 Gwen Ralston.....................Allene Rowe, ’24 Ethel (Gwen’s friend)..........Beatrice Carr, ’24 Sabel.........................Dorothy Newman, ’24 Mabel.........................Marion Chebook, ’23 The maid........................Hester Smith, ’24 The stage is in charge of Stanley Teele, ’23, stage manager; Adelbert Morrill, ’23, property man; and Maxwell Boyd, ’24, assistant prop- erty man. Miss Bradford will supervise the stage settings. Miss Bell is, as usual, coach, and Miss Saunders will have charge of make-up. The tickets are fifty cents and may be obtained from the committee, Richard Walsh, ’23; Paul Simpson, ’23, and Lillian Kingston, ’24, mem- bers of the cast or room proctors. The play will be followed by dancing. VISUAL EDUCATION One more facility for teaching has been added to the Somerville High School, for the purpose of more efficiently teaching its pupils. A large projecting and reflecting lantern com- bined, known as the refiectoscope, can be seen in Room 301. This lantern will illustrate more clearly the subjects of history, chemistry, physics, commerce and industry and others. This machine is the result of the money raised by an entertainment the first of the year. From now on pupils will be accustomed to visual edu- cation in the Somerville High School. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 95 Are you going to the Junior-Senior Play? Buy your tickets today. Remember it’s Feb- ruary 2. The English class in 201 the first period has the aspect of a hospital ward. Charlie Clapp and Francis McCall are on crutches and Henry Blackman discarded his crutches only a few weeks ago. John O’Neil is manager of the track team. Leo Bagley is manager of the hockey team. I suppose there are some people in school who are unaware of the fact that we have a basket ball team. We are going to have a good team. Students, support it and go to the games whenever possible. Some of the best players are: “Pitter” Fraser, “Chet” Mattern, “Clif” Goodspeed and “Pek” Rowell. During the Christmas vacation Louis Smith, with three Boy Scouts, hiked to Mt. Monadnock. Eva Mitrano has been ill for some time, but we are glad to see her back again. What are your New Year resolutions? ORCHESTRA Our orchestra needs more players to make it complete. We need another saxophone player, two trombone players and another flute player. Classmates, get behind our orchestra and make it the best we have ever had. Re- member! The only way to help is to come to the rehearsals, held every Tuesday immediately after school, and play. Let us all remember what Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, has said: ‘‘The place which music now holds in the school program is far too small. By many teachers and pupils music and drawing are still regarded as fads or trivial accomplishments not worthy to rank as sub- stantial educational material, whereas they are important features in the outfit of every human being who means to be cultivated, ef- ficient, and rationally happy.” Gustav Hedlund, '21, and Walter Blanchard, ’20, won First Group Scholarships at Harvard on the basis of their high records. Each re- ceived scholarships in the previous year. It may be interesting for the friends of Andrew J. Pike, a former member of the class of 1923, to know that he was recently elected president of the night school senior class. BOYS’ DEBATING TRIALS For the first time in three years the Boys’ Debating Society has organized a team. This is in keeping with the present policy of the society, that is, to bring back debating to the prominent place it has held in Somerville High School. To secure the strongest possible team, trials, open to every boy in the school, were held Wednesday, January 10. Each candidate prepared a speech on either side of the ques- tion: “Resolved, that the United States should adopt a system of universal compulsory mili- tary training for a period of three months for all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 25.” The society was fortunate in securing the fol- lowing members of the faculty as judges: Mrs. Card, Mr. Mahoney, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Sears and Mr. Wilkins. After hearing all contestants the judges’ choice was: Principal speakers, Francis Shea, ’23; Samuel Taylor, ’23; Richard Walsh, ’23; alternates, John Callahan, ’23, and Warren Thomas, ’23. Stanley Teele, vice-pres- ident of the society, presided at the trials. Sam- uel Taylor was chairman of the trials commit- tee. Although no debates have been arranged as yet, a challenge has been sent to a neigh- boring high school, and the team expects soon to start preparation for the first inter- scholastic debate of the season. The coaches and officers feel that, though our new debating team may be inexperienced, it is capable of uphold- ing the high standard established by Somerville High School teams of the past.

(Continued on Page 97) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 97 The Students’ Council Harry Hurley, Representative The third Students’ Council meeting was held in Room 205, December 11, 1922, with Rollo Lewis presiding. The committee relative to repairing the bubbling fountains reported that nothing could be done by the building department of the school because of the condition of the pipe. It was then suggested by the “Ways and Means committee that this matter be carried still further by sending a resolution to Mr. Avery. A motion was made and accepted to this effect and Harry Hurley was appointed to draw up this resolution. A motion was also made and passed that the Council go on record as being in favor of a gymnasium connected with the High School. Fayette Haskell and Evelyn Thompson were appointed a committee of two to see Mr. Avery in regard to afternoon dances run by organizations in the school. The fourth meeting of the Students’ Council was held in Room 205, December 18, 1922, with Rollo Lewis presiding. Because of the probable extended absence of James McGowan, room proctor of 210 and floor proctor of the second floor, West building, a motion was made and accepted that a tem- porary room proctor and a floor proctor be elected in the usual manner. A motion was passed that the constitution be amended to require a member of the Council who is absent from two consecutive meetings to make satisfactory explanation to the Council for their absence. A motion made previously was amended to the effect that all Council mem- bers usher at all general assemblies and the officers and floor proctors of respective classes usher at class assemblies. It was moved and accepted that the floor proctors carefully supervise the room proctors in the performance of their duties. Also that the floor proctors report as to the regularity of the attendance at school of the room proc- tors. ALUMNI NOTES (Continued from Page 96) 1920. Midshipman John A.

Please do not become alarmed at the skeleton in the narrow oaken closet nor the curious figure of Dr. Heidegger, himself, who prom- ises to perform a spectacular experiment which is perfectly harmless. This experiment is under the direction of Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne and the password is “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment.” Pakhom, the Russian peasant, has been dead for many years, but Count Lyof Tolstoi, a fel- low-countryman of his, had narrated his am- bition to grow wealthy and gain more land. Led on by the stories of a traveling peasant and a merchant, the amount of land he had in the end was “Three Arshins (six feet) of land.” Lyof Tolstoi was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century. He is well known the world over as a social reformer, religious mystic and novelist. He was a soldier in the Crimean Wars and spent his last years among the peas- ants of Southern Russia, whence comes this tale. “You are raving, Birkendilly. I met no young lady, nor is there a single person on the road I have come by, while you know that for a mile and a half forwards your way, she could not get out of it.” “I know that,” said the Laird, biting his lips and looking greatly puzzled, “but, confound me if I understand this, for I was within speech of her just now on the top of the Birky Brow there.” “My name is Jane Ogilvie and you were be- trothed to me before you were born.” “The family of the Sandisons is extinct, the Mysterious Bride appears no more on the eve of St. Lawrence, and the wicked people of the great muckle village have got a lesson on di- vine justice, written to them in lines of blood.” —From “The Mysterious Bride,” by James Hogg. We would be surprised and over-joyed if we should discover one day that a cheap ring, which had been in the family many years, was very valuable. Probably it would not greatly affect our lives. When Madame Loisel learned that the diamond necklace which she had worn was only paste it meant a great change in her life from slavery and drudgery to leisure. The title is “The Diamond Necklace,” by Maupas- sant. These few short stories hinted at here are not only interesting but they conform to the technique of short story writing. In keeping with the spirit of this number I mention these college stories: “Princetonian,” Barnes; “Sitover at Yale,” Johnson; “Pip,” Beith; “Smith College Stories,” Bacon; “Two College Girls,” Brown. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s granddaughter, Ilildegarde Hawthorne, has charmingly de- scribed the larger American colleges of the South and East in “Rambles in Old College Towns.” “Through College on Nothing a Year” is based upon the experience of a man whose childhood was spent in the slums, doing odd jobs such as planting flowers in the cemetery at five cents a plant, and driving a butcher’s cart. He entered Princeton College with three dollars in his pocket, solved all his financial difficulties and graduated with his class.

We are impressed with the quantity and quality of news that seems to be at your disposal. It is so compact. You have some fine cuts. But where are your authors and poets? Not a single story! Is that only temporary? The Botolphian, Boston College High School. —We have no words to adequately express our praise of your wonderful Christmas number of the Botolphian! Your literary department had no equal, your cuts were of unusual beauty. The Item, Dorchester High School.—All your departments are well written. We note espe- cially “The Christmas Message.” Why not comment on your exchanges? High School Record, Montpelier, Vermont.— Congratulations on your business manager! Seven pages of advertisements out of fourteen! We suggest that you enlarge your departments and why not comment on your exchanges? We would like to know your opinion of us! What material you have is good, but a few cuts would make it more interesting. The Enterprise, Roxbury High School, Boston.—You have a well-rounded magazine. We liked every bit of it and we notice that you get along very nicely without advertisements! How do you do it ? The Salemica, New Salem Academy.—Your stories are rather short, but your jokes are good, and we note with interest the existence of an “Agricultural Department.” Why not classify your departments more distinctly and comment on your exchanges? . Stoneham High School Authentic.—You have a good literary department, interesting stories, and a fine athletic department. The St. Joseph’s Prep. Chronicle.—Just as good as your last one! We didn’t think you could improve that! We envy you your fine poets! We await the next issue for the con- tinuation of “The Soldier’s Story,” and a page of humor—perhaps. Orange Peals.—You have excellent alumnae and exchange pages. The cuts for these two pages were attractive! Perhaps we’re slow, but we can’t quite see what the cut for the exchange page had to do with exchanges. Where does the change in styles come in? The Thistle, Scott High.—Your “Great Scotts,” the silhouettes, is one of your most interesting features. Your cuts are “first rate,” too. The Aquilo, Houlton, Maine.— An excellent magazine, well-balanced. Good stories, a fine athletic department and large “Poet’s corner”! The Herald, Holyoke High School.—We liked your club notes in the Thanksgiving number, especially. You lack an exchange column. The Grotonian, Groton School.—We enjoy your literary department; note with interest your rival debating teams and hope to read some comments from your large exchange list in your next issue. Come again! The Advocate, Needham High.—You must be people of a literary trend of mind indeed, judging by the literary work in your maga- zine. Your magazine is worth re-reading any- time. AS OTHERS SEE US The Radiator.—We haven’t a very late issue of your magazine, but if the last one you put out is as good as the one we have, you have nothing to worry about. Your short stories are excellent and we like your library depart- ment.—Todd Seminary for Boys, Woodstock, Illinois. The Radiator, Somerville, Mass.—Aren’t you glad you’re alive?—The Salemica, New Salem Academy. JOO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SOMERVILLE GETS BELATED CHAMPIONSHIP Owing to the ineligibility of one of Newton’s regular baseball players Newton was forced to forfeit all fourteen league games and the championship. While looking up the eligibility of the player for track the Newton authorities discovered that he was a year older than he claimed and was thus ineligible. The Newton authorities immediately reported it to the league officials and are in no way to blame. The player was prompted by impulse and a desire to play on a championship team.

Gallant, 1923 Sailor lad, your ship is fine, Not a mast is out of line. Perfect there, from keel to stay, Lines and sails in best array. So, otT tomorrow, out to sea, To leave this barren lonely quay, To search for wealth and big reward, The goal the world is leaning toward. Yet, my son, before you go. Take this word which you should know, For on the voyage you will meet Some who will gamble, drink and cheat. Heed not unto the drunken tar, Better than fable, things that are. Set yourself and make your cast, Lose your all, hold honor fast. Let not a whim or drunken crave Pull you down to an early grave, But stand by God and live aright, And look to heaven above for light. Pick your mates with utmost care, As a gambler, a racing mare. Take those who always work and move Their honor, faith and love to prove. Then you the big reward will earn, And older heads to you will turn To sail upon a better boat, To captain some majestic float. Then home again and off the sea, Back to this lonely barren quay, Back again to this little bay, Your town that’s set for gala day. THE BEWTIES OF FONIKS An Unfortunate Incident As Mr. Jones walked down the aisle, On Sunday, beaming with a smaisle, His heart was wholly free from guaisle. What then could his calm spirit raisle? In one hand was a shining taisle; His clothes were of the latest staisle, And which the same had cost a paisle, The people eyed Jones all the whaisle:— But mournful to tell, He stumbled and fell, Ah, then would Jones have gnawed a faisle, Or jumped headlong into the Naisle, But he thought no thoughts that were vaisle. Nor made a display of his baisle— He got up and sat down, Without grin or frown, Yet wished he were distant a maisle. “Our Accursed Spelling.” THE OL1) FARM ’Tis just an old, old farm, A pine grove at one side. Where sing Spring’s joyous birds, And lady-slippers hide. ’Tis just an old, old house, With climbing trumpet-vine, With tiny window panes, And walls so worn with time. ’Tis just an old, old room— But it tells of years gone by— With brick-paved chimney place, And spinning wheel nigh. ’Tis just an old, old farm. Not far from a tireless sea, But the peace and joy therein Mean more than worlds to me. Frances Smith, '24. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 103 Traveling lecturer for society (to the re- maining listener): “I should like to thank you, sir, for so attentively hearing me to the end of a rather too long speech.” Local member of society: “Not at all, sir. I’m the second speaker.” “Can’t I take your order for one of our en- cyclopedias?” asked the dapper agent. “No, I guess not,” said the busy man. “I might be able to use it a few times, but my son will be home from college in June.” Willis: “He calls himself a dynamo.” Gillis: “No wonder; everything he has on is charged.” Doctor friend: “Now that you have a car, you mustn’t neglect exercise.” Patient: “Oh, I shan’t be able to; it’s a sec- ond-hand car.” “So your father is ill. I hope it is nothing contagious.” “So do I. The doctor says he is suffering from overwork.” “Were any of your boyish ambitions ever realized?” asked the sentimentalist. “Yes,” replied the practical person. “When my mother used to cut my hair I often wished I might be bald-headed.” Artist: “I’d like to devote my last picture to a charitable purpose.” Critic: “Why not give it to an institution for the blind?” Ambitious author: “Hurray! Five dollars for my latest story, ‘The Call of the Lure!' ” Fast friend: “Who from?” Ambitious author: “The express company. They lost it.” “What punishment did that defaulting banker get?” “I understand his lawyer charged him $40,- 000.” “Do you know where Johnny Locke lives, mv little boy?” asked a gentle voiced old lady. “He ain’t home, but if you give me a penny I’ll find him for you right off,” replied the lad. “All right, you’re a nice little boy. Now where is he?” “Thanks—I'm him.” “I am willing,” said the candidate after he had hit the table a terrible blow with his fist, “to trust the people.” “Gee!” yelled a little man in the audience. “I wish you’d open a grocery.” “Say, young man,” asked an old lady at the ticket office, “what time does the next train pull in here and how long does it stay?” “From two to two to two two,” was the curt reply. “Well, I declare! Be you the whistle?” Mother: “Tommy, if you’re pretending to be an automobile, I wish you’d run over to the store and get me some butter.” Tommy: “I’m awful sorry, mother, but I’m all out of gasoline.” “Are you first in anything at school, Johnnie?” “First out of the building when the bell rings.” Solemn Senior: “So your efforts to get on the team were fruitless, were they?” Foolish Freshman: “Oh, no! Not at all. They gave me a lemon.” 104 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Willie: “Father, can you write your name without looking? Father: “Why, yes. Willie: “Well, close your eyes and sign this report card. rt One: “I’m worried. My girl is going with that new doctor. Two: “Give her an apple a day. She: “Last night I dreamed I was in heaven. He: “Yes, yes, and did you see me there? She: “You were there, too. When I saw you I realized I was dreaming. Thoughtful Senior: “They say a cat has nine lives. Disdainful Junior: “That’s nothing; a frog croaks every night. TRANSLATED The Boston lady entered the department store. Approaching the gentleman floor walker, she said: “I desire to purchase a diminutive, argen- teous, truncated cone, convex on its summit and semi-perforated with symmetrical indenta- tions. “Yes, madam, replied the gentleman floor walker, “you will find the thimbles two counters to the rear. She: “It’s my principle never to let a fellow kiss me. He: “I wish you’d forget your principle and take a little interest. The Counsel was examining his witness. “You say that when the first shot was fired you were ten feet from the victim. Now tell the court where you were when the second shot was fired. “Wal, suh, ah’d say it was ’bout half uh mile. Judge: “You are sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. Prisoner: “Judge, I believe you are stringing me. Ramon: “Didn’t you see me downtown yes- terday? I saw you twice. Ruth: “I never notice anyone in that condi- tion.

But in our haste to grasp the glittering crown, We have forgotten we must bear the cross,— That without sacrifice and pain and loss, We can win only empty, false renown. Teach us the strength that comes from self-control; Teach us to value beauty of the soul— Not outward show—and manliness that comes From simple lives, unwasted days, pure homes. Watch over us, kind spirit, all the while We try to win thine understanding smile. —Ruth L. Card. 114 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SENIORS We have started a new year, and we hope a successful one. Thus far we of the senior class have had no social activities, but very soon our functions will commence and in order to suc- ceed every member of the senior class must co-operate with the officers and committees. The spirit of our class has been splendid, thus far, and we must all work to keep it up to the standard. We want to make the class of 1923 the best that has ever graduated from this school and we can accomplish this if each mem- ber of 1923 will do his share when called upon to serve the class. It is entirely in our hands to determine whether or not our class leaves a favorable impression or otherwise, after we are graduated ; no one else can be blamed if we are unsuccessful, so let us all co-operate and work for the “Honor and Progress” of the class of 1923. Rollo S. Lewis, President. “Class of 1923,” really sounds like seniors now, doesn’t it? The “Sonnet to the Spirit of Lincoln,” used in this issue by the kindness of Mrs. Card of our faculty, was written by her for the Boston Traveler contest, the subject of which was: “Things Lincoln Would Frown Upon Today.” Mrs. Card wrote at the same time a prose arti- cle which won the prize. We heartily thank Mrs. Card for allowing us to use this sonnet. Lincoln! A name to conjure with. Lincoln! The American ideal personified. Lincoln! About whom more has probably been written than any man since Jesus Christ. The world knows the true story of Lincoln’s life and he is revered abroad quite as much as any other man. His character is known to every school boy in America. We wili not attempt to delineate it when so many other abler minds have already done so, but we recommend as an observance of his birthday the careful and thoughtful read- ing of a good biography of Lincoln. This February issue of the Radiator is a col- lege number, with pictures and short descrip- tions of various New England Colleges. Mr. John Dunbar, editor of the Radiator in 1921, and Mr. Donald Miller, business manager the same year, very kindly contributed articles on their respective colleges and we sincerely thank them. The issue may not be as complete as the editor could wish in regard to college ma- terial, but this is unavoidable. The Radiator is certainly blessed with two very gifted staff artists this year. Our new “Winks from the Wise” cut by Cleveland, and the library cut by Miss Lord, attest their abil- ity, and the numerous posters announcing the Radiator are very fine pieces of work. Cleve- land has also to his credit two cover designs, one last year and one this. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 115 Speaking of our “Winks from the Wise” cut, did you ever stop to think of its signifi- cance? If not, do so now. Did anyone ever tell you something very interesting and in an- swer to your query as to how they knew say, “A little birdie told, me” ? Of course, they have. The “little birdie” is credited with knowing and telling more interesting things than a daily newspaper. Perhaps our birdie cannot truth- fully be called little, but he certainly is wise and his welcoming wink demonstrates his eag- erness to confide his knowledge. In solemn reality, however, the far-famed “little birdie” has to have all its information whispered in its ear. Just so is our grave owl. He must first have his information given to him before he can impart it. All of which means please give us some news of little things you or your friends are doing. Money! It’s a queer thing when you think of it. It really has no value. A piece of paper, a round coin of gold, silver, copper. Worth- less to heat your house, to eat or to use prac- tically yet striven for as though it were the very key of heaven itself. Of course we under- stand that the world strives for that which the money stands for, that it is merely the symbol for the material treasures of our globe. The vast deposits of coal, our lumber, grain, iron are all expressed in terms of money and striven for under this guise. Since money was invented or rather since life itself began, philos- ophers have preached against allowing money or its equivalent to obscure the true goal of life. Yet human beings continue to struggle, to rob, to kill, even, all for its sake. Great nations have suffered from the gold fever and gone down to oblivion. Races have been wiped out in the struggle for wealth and this not in ancient times by any means. The fight is even stronger now in that it is hidden. Eight out of every nine problems the world today is fac- ing are due solely and directly to money, al- though disguised as patriotism or politics. France wants money from Germany and should by right obtain it. Germany refuses to pay and France perhaps permanently antagonizes Germany by taking it. England would like to have the United States cancel war debts. We do not do it and Europe is aggrieved. Money, as we know it, is probably the best means of carrying on business. As long as the world lasts some men will have things and other men will want them. Men will ob- tain them by honest labor or by force. The only problem is to eliminate the force. Two thousand years of Christianity have not done it. Perhaps another two thousand years may. It can only come to pass if each world citizen practices the Golden Rule and there is no better place than Somerville High School to learn to be a good world citizen. Discourtesy or ungentlemanly conduct, with one exception, can only be the result of an impoverished brain. The exception is the prod- uct of the gutter who has never had an oppor- tunity to learn, and even these often show that instinctive courtesy of the natural gentleman. It shows the mind of the brute beast to act as a boor to one’s associates. The accusation has recently been levelled at the boys of our school. Let us prove it false! The name Ku Klux Klan really originated from a Greek word kuklos, meaning circle, and the natural alliteration of Klan. The editor was never given a better proof of fact that the editorial page is not read than after last month’s issue. On the editorial page he stated that a Radiator box had been in- stalled at the front door. At the time it was written he hoped to have it there by the time the issue appeared. It has not yet been placed owing to delay. And not one person has asked the editor about it. Never has anything been amiss without numerous people asking why! The editorial must be a safe place to make an- nouncements. No one will see them! 1X6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Miss Abigail’s Valentine By Mildred N. Smith, 1924 O-No-No. I want it trimmed with red, with red, r-e-d!” Miss Abigail felt quite dis- gusted. It seemed to her that she could never take down her tele- phone receiver to order her gro- ceries, without hearing ’Liza Griggs’ piercing voice. Miss Abigail, however, did not put up the receiver,—she “listened in” instead. “I want a dozen red ones, and I want them sent here before the fourteenth,” continued Miss Griggs. “Very well. Your name and address, please.” “Eliza Griggs, 18 Cen—” “Your name, please,” insisted the sales- woman. “E-l-i-z-a,” shrieked Miss Griggs. “Very well, and your address?” “G-r-i-g-g-s—” went on the sharp voice, not heeding the interruption. “Very well. Griggs street and what num- ber?” “No-No-No,” shrilled Miss Griggs, franti- cally. “I said—” Miss Abigail did not wait to hear what her neighbor said. She hung up her receiver and sat meditating. “Why,” she exclaimed at length, “the four- teenth is Valentine’s Day. That’s why she wanted whatever it was trimmed with red. I’ll bet she’s going to have a party for that niece of hers. “It’s been a long while since anyone sent me a valentine,” she added, pensively. “I wish I might get just one valentine, this year, Tommy, just one.” Tommy blinked contentedly and replied, “Purr-rr,” which might mean almost anything. Miss Abigail’s life was indeed a lonely one. She lived alone—that is, she and Tommy, in a little gray house on the outskirts of the village. Her sharp tongue and abrupt manner had won her no friends, consequently there were few visitors at her home, and Miss Abigail seldom went anywhere. Sometimes she longed for the sound of a voice other than her own, but she always found comfort in Tommy, who would rub against her, gently singing “Purr-rr.” As the week passed and the fourteenth drew nearer, Miss Abigail’s desire to receive a valen- tine grew and grew. “I know it’s foolish,” she murmured to her only confidant, who was sitting beside her watching her knitting needles fly. When the day arrived, Miss Abigail was flustered and excited. She felt as though she was a girl again and was going that night to Esther Griggs’ valentine party. Tommy felt there was something unusual in the air, for his mistress gave him pure cream for his break- fast and tied a red ribbon around his neck. Evening came and nothing had happened to distinguish the day from any of its predeces- sors. Miss Abigail had eagerly watched for the post-man, but on both of his trips he had gone straight past, not even bringing her an advertisement, which, by the way, was all she ever did receive. Somewhat disappointed, she sat down by the fire to knit. Tommy, opposite her, curled up so that his head was resting upon his tail, was sound asleep. The wind (Continued on Page 123) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 117 Student Life at Technology By John A. Dunbar, S. H. S., 1921; M. I. T., 1923 HE request for an article on “Stu- dent Life at Tech” came to me as an unexpected opportunity to slay many, many birds with one stone. Whenever and wherever I meet anyone who does not know too much about me, the first question they invaria- bly ask me is: “Where are you going to school?” I answered proudly: “Oh, I am over at Tech.” “Well, now, that’s fine! How smart you must be! Do you have to study all the time, and is there any student life at Tech?” I am getting sick of this stuff, and this op- portunity enables me to answer these questions once for all, and I grasp it gratefully. No one knows better than myself the reputation Tech has of being a factory,—a place where ambitious but foolish young men go for four years, study twelve or fifteen hours every day, lose their health, and develop a narrow and purely technical point of view of life. This rep- utation is not justified and becomes less and less justifiable every day. Tech is essentially but not exclusively an en- gineering school; its curriculum is undoubtedly difficult, and its students do not have the leisure time that is not an unmixed blessing to the stu- dents in many other colleges. I think that any student of average ability who has stood well in a good high school or its equivalent, who has an engineering tendency, and who is will- ing to work, can make the grade. The training given by the Somerville High School is, I be- lieve, second to none in preparing students for Tech. The courses at Tech are of sufficient variety so that any special hobby or preference of the student can be developed, and besides he will get the essential foundation of math- ematics, chemistry, physics and English, com- mon to all courses. I do not want anyone to get the idea that Tech is easy. No one can stick who spends more for patent-leathers than for midnight oil. One does not have to study all of the time, but a fellow should enter Tech with the idea firmly fixed in his head that for four years the textbook and the slip-stick must have precedence over the dance order and the Orpheum. By “student life” 1 suppose my interrogators mean dorms, fiats, athletics, musical clubs, pub- lications, etc. If they do, and if they know any- thing at all about the school, I do not under- stand the general impression that there is no student life at Tech. There are chapters of most of the national fraternities at Tech, numer- ous local ones, and several honorary societies, and the frat life is quite as gay as in any other college. In athletics, although there are no var- sity football or baseball teams at Tech, there is varsity track, crew, hockey, basketball and soccer that any college might well be proud of. Besides these, there are the class football, base- ball, basketball teams and class crews, some of which have class, while others have not.. And, yes, I nearly forgot to mention the varsity boxing, wrestling, swimming, fencing and gym teams. At any rate, there is ample opportunity for all students who so desire to participate in any branch of athletics that they may choose, —in fact, they are encouraged to do so. As to musical clubs,—I’ll say we have a musi- cal club! My advice is,—go and hear it. Any- one with literary tastes and a nose for news can secure satisfaction on one of the three regular publications,—one a tri-weekly four-page news sheet, another a monthly engineering review, and the third a humorous (?) monthly. Dra- matic ability is welcomed by “Tech Show,” pre- sented each year in Boston and Northampton, and this year in New York, also. No further words are necessary, I hope, to correct the mistaken impression that student life at the Institute is wanting- There are grinds at all schools, and perhaps we have more than our share at Tech, but taken by and large M. I. T. is not very different from any other college similarly located, and its men are not the broken-down wrecks that most of our sym- pathizers seem to expect. This is M. I. T. signing off. Good-night! We deeply regret the loss of a member of the Sophomore Class, Helen Linnehan, who died January 31st, 1923. The sympathy of the stu- dent body is extended to the bereaved family and friends. 118 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Student Life at Tufts College By Donald Miller, S. H. S., 1921: Tufts, 1925 T is no easy matter for a student in high school to make the choice of the college or higher educational institution in which to enlist after graduation; still more difficult it is to choose the course or profession to follow. Of course the choice of the profes- sion in which the student wishes to specialize, in a large sense governs the institution that he may attend. The average high school student during the second and third years is automat- ically turning over in his mind the number of things that he would like to do when he has finished his educational preparation. Out of this number, he will find one in which he has a keener interest than in all the others. In many cases this keen interest is false and the young man finds that his talents are directed along other lines. Many a successful man did not start on his road to success until after he found that he was pursuing the wrong trade and consequently found it advisable to make a change. All of this foregoing and somewhat super- fluous paragraph can be summarized into one expression, “self-analysis.” Without further elaborating and if my kind reader has still the courage to read on, I will attempt to depict student life at Tufts as I have found it. The social life of a student at Tufts is just what he makes it himself. The more a man can put into a thing the more he can get out of it. Take for instance the freshmen,—for the first few weeks of school the freshman thinks that he is being greatly imposed upon. He has just finished preparatory school where he was class president or football captain. Here everybody made of him. When he enters a new school, Tufts or any other college, he is not the same victor. He, too, must follow the freshman traditions. At Tufts they are:— 1. Wear the Freshman cap until Junior Day. 2. Buy an Ivy Book at once to show to upper class men on request. 3. Learn the College songs and cheers at once from the Ivy Book. 4. Keep off the Rez. 5. Show deference to Upper Classmen. 6. Doff caps when meeting “Prexy” and members of the faculty. 7. Keep off the grass. 8. Do not smoke on the campus. 9. Do not display prep school insignia on person or in dormitory rooms. 10. Use the back stairs of Ballou Hall. 11. Do not wear knickers, golf stockings, or uncovered sweaters on the campus or in the classroom. 12. Attend your class meetings and support your class teams. The fellow that puts on his freshman cap with grumbling and indifference is not enter- ing into the game in the right spirit. The freshman cap has a certain significance on any college campus. It allows the upper classmen and faculty to recognize the new students and lets the freshmen readily learn their own class members. Besides the training that the stu- dent receives on the campus, there is the dormi- tory and fraternity life. In the dormitory the fellows are thrown together from various local- ities. Each fellow has certain customs which are new and different to the other. Knowledge and a wider scope of life in general is given to the student. In the fraternities (and Tufts be- ing an old college, founded in 1852, has a num- ber of the best national fraternities) the stu- dent forms acquaintances which last for a life- time and in many ways bring material benefit to him. Turning now from the social side of life at Tufts to the athletic, Tufts goes in for every sport with the exception of fencing and crew. There is at Tufts a one-year ruling which means that no man can partake in a varsity sport until after he has been a student at Tufts for one year. This directly increases the fresh- man activities so that each year the freshmen have a chance to show their abilities in every athletic line. For the benefit of the students who do not voluntarily go out for some sport, com- pulsory gymnasium attendance is required. Last year my gymnasium work was most help- ful. I received instruction in boxing, wrestling, track, swimming, basket ball and gymnasium apparatus work. No matter how good an athlete a student may be and how many honors he captures on the fields of battle, there is the scholastic ma- terial development which Tufts offers to the student. Along this line I cannot elaborate (Continued on Page 123) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 119 BOSTON UNIVERSITY SIMMONS COLLEGE Simmons College for Women was incorpor- ated in Boston in 1899 and opened in 1902. It was established in accordance with the pro- vision of the will of John Simmons, a Boston merchant, who died in 1870, to afford women a college education together with such a course in art, science and industry as would best en- able them to earn a living. The courses of in- struction comprise household economics, sec- retarial studies, library studies, general science, philanthropic work, industrial teaching, sales- manship and a special preparation for student and public health nurses. The college build- ings are the main instruction building, erected in 1904 on the Fenway, the School for Social Workers on Somerset street, and eight 'dormi- tories. The president of the college is H. Le- favour, Ph.D. There are approximately 1,378 students and 130 instructors. MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a school of industrial science in Boston, estab- lished in 1861 through the efforts of W. B. Rogers and others, “for the purpose of insti- tuting and maintaining a society of arts, a museum of arts and a school of industrial sci- ence and aiding generally by suitable means the advancement, development, and practical application of science in connection with arts, agriculture, manufacture and commerce. There are fifteen distinct courses, each of four years’ duration. Each course leads to the de- gree of B. S. In 1916 the school was removed from Back Bay to its new place in Cambridge on the banks of the Charles River Basin. The value of the whole institute is $10,000,000. There are approximately 3,436 students and 357 instructors at Technology. 120 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR WELLESLEY CAMPUS SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 121 RADCLIFFE CAMPUS WELLESLEY COLLEGE Wellesley College was founded in 1875 in Wellesley, Massachusetts, by Henry Fowle Durant. The college is a contributor to the American schools of classical studies at Rome and Athens, to the Marine Biological Labora- tory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and to the Zoological Station at Naples. On May 12, 1914, the main building of the college was destroyed by fire. There are about 1,500 students at Wellesley and the president is Miss Ellen F. Pendleton. RADCLIFFE COLLEGE Radcliffe is the college for women and girls connected with Harvard University. In 1894, by the Act of General Court of Massachusetts, its name was changed to Radcliffe, in honor of Anne Radcliffe, the first woman to give a money endowment to Harvard. The requirements for admission and for degrees are identical with those of Harvard University, and forty-two scholarships, each sufficient to meet the tuition fee of $200, are awarded annually. Radcliffe has an enrollment of 656 students. HARVARD Harvard University is the oldest institution of learning in the United States, having been founded in Cambridge in 1636. At a meeting of the general court of Massachusetts Bay Colony, convened on September 8, six years after its first settlement, it was voted to give $20,000 toward a “schoole or colledge,” for the purpose of educating the “English and Indian youth in knowledge and Godliness.” The fol- lowing year John Winthrop and John Cotton were authorized to take order for a college at “New Towne.” In 1638 John Harvard, a young minister, died in Charlestown, leaving to the college $3,500 and his entire library of 300 volumes. The institution was opened soon after and was named Harvard in honor of its first benefactor. In 1764 the college met with a serious loss by fire—the first Harvard Hall, con- taining the library, was totally destroyed. Be- tween 1636 and 1782 Harvard College conferred only degrees of bachelor and master of arts, but in 1780 the term university was applied to it in the Constitution of the State of Massa- chusetts. The first degree of bachelor of medi- cine was conferred in 1788. Harvard has many buildings, including dormitories, observatory, library, museunfs and various others, all num- bering over sixty, and over 7,000 students. 122 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR GODDARD CHAPEL, TUFTS COLLEGE TUFTS COLLEGE Tufts College is situated at Medford and was built in 1852. The campus takes in about eighty acres, on which twenty buildings are erected for dormitory and educational purposes. The schools situated on the campus are: School of Liberal Arts, Jackson College for Women, En- gineering School, Bromfield-Pearson School, Crane Theological School. The college medical and dental schools are in Boston. The degrees conferred are: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Sacred Theol- ogy, Master of Arts, Master of Science. Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Dental Medicine. The Bromfield-Pearson School is a preparatory institution for the engineering school. Among the notable buildings on the campus is the Barnum Museum of Natural History, built and maintained by a fund given by Phineas Barnum. It has a wonderful zoological collec- tion, including the skeleton of the famous ele- phant “Jumbo.’' The Eaton Library, a gift of Andrew Carnegie, contains about 73,000 vol- umes and G4,000 pamphlets. The approximate total enrollment of the college is 2,128. The president of the college is Mr. Cousens. WHEATON Wheaton College for Girls is situated at Norton, Massachusetts, and was founded in 1834 as Norton Female Seminary. In 1839 it was changed to Wheaton. Its organization was superintended by Mary Lyon. In 1897 the school was reorganized and its departments en- larged. The courses are adapted to both cul- tural and vocational ends, also a two-years course for those who do not desire a degree or full college course of four years. The campus, containing eighteen buildings, takes in more than 100 acres. Student enrollment is 250, and Samuel V. Cole, D.D., is president. DARTMOUTH COLLEGE Dartmouth College, situated at Hanover, New Hampshire, originated in Moor’s Indian Charity School, about 1750, in Lebanon, Connecticut, by Rev. Eleazer Wheelock and receiving its name and first endowment from Joshua Moor in 1755. The support of the school came mainly from the general courts of Massachusetts Bay and New Hampshire and by persons in England interested in the project of educating Indians. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 123 This interest was fostered by Sampson Occom, an Indian preacher, who toured England and Scotland in 1766-67 raising funds. The pro- ceeds of this campaign were about $50,000. En- couraged by this success plans were made for the enlargement so that both the whites and Indians could be taught and for placing it on a permanent and legal basis. Large tracts of land were given by the province of New Hamp- shire. In 1769, George III granted a royal charter to “Dartmouth College.” Dr. Wheclock was made first president. Dartmouth campus comprises the College Medical School, founded in 1798; Thayer School of Civil Engineering, founded in 1867; Amos Tuck School of Admin- istration and Finance, founded in 1867. The course of the medical school was reduced in 1913 to two years of preparatory medical work in conjunction with undergraduate courses leading to bachelor’s degree. Dartmouth thus offers no degree in medicine but makes possi- ble a ready transition from college to advanced standing in other schools. Degrees are con- ferred in arts, science, civil engineering and commercial science. There are approximately forty college buildings, including laboratories, observatory, two medical buildings, dormi- tories, a large dining hall and common; also the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, hav- ing lecture and clinic facilities at the disposal of the school. Its library has over 125,000 vol- umes. There are about 1,200 students at Dartmouth. STUDENT LIFE AT TUFTS COLLEGE (Continued from Page 118) without feeling that I am overstepping my po- sition as only a sophomore in the department of civil engineering. If I were to make a sweep- ing statement as to my work so far, I could say that I feel that I have received a large amount of instruction both theoretically and in a prac- tical sense. One of the features of the Tufts Engineering School in all its branches is the attention given toward considerable practical work and experimentation. Tufts is situated near a large city which offers plenty of chance for investigations along practical lines. Even though I am a student in the Engineering School and think that there is nothing else like it, I will have to admit that this is not the only good department of the college. The Liberal Arts, Dental and Medical departments of Tufts have established high reputations. In this my final paragraph, I would like to bring before you as students of the Somerville High School, a challenge—Are you true to your Alma Mater? In a classroom not long ago, I was with a group of students who were discuss- ing their various preparatory schools. Several of the fellows were academy and private school graduates. Most of them, however, were from the public high schools. There seemed to be a feeling with some of the latter group that they were not as well fitted to tackle their work as the students from the academies. It was with much inward pleasure that I listened to this conversation. If I had been called upon to tell where 1 prepared for college, it would have been with triumph that I would have replied: “I graduated from the Somerville High School, the best high school in the country.” Let me tell you, friends, for I feel that every student in the Somerville High School is my friend, that the Somerville High School is the finest school in the country in which to prepare for college or even to graduate from if college lines are not pursued. MISS ABIGAIL’S VALENTINE (Continued from Page 116) shrieking around the house reminded her of ’Liza Griggs’ voice, and she began to wonder what was going on at the valentine party. Were they playing any of the games she used to play when she was a girl? What refresh- ment would Miss Griggs serve, and what was it that she had ordered to be trimmed with red? Suddenly, the sound of voices aroused her. Miss Abigail rose and went to the window. A group of merry, laughing girls were passing her house. It was evidently the “party” out distributing valentines. Had they left any for her? Miss Abigail told herself she was an old fool for imagining such a thing, and went back to her knitting. But she could not knit. Sup- pose they had left a valentine? To satisfy her curiosity and confirm her opinion of herself, she slipped on her cape and went out, down the narrow path to the road. It was a beautiful moonlit night. The ground was frozen but there was little snow. Only a few patches remained to tell of the heavy storm a fortnight past. The wind blew, and Miss Abigail shivered, though more from ex- citement than from cold. At the foot of the path was something which shone white. Of course it was snow. Miss Abigail was sure of that. Nevertheless she stooped to see. It was not snow. With trembling hands she picked up a large white envelope and the bright moon- (Continued on Page 125) Ibonor Hist—3anuar 1923 MAXIMUM CREDIT. 1923 Marcia Berg Angelo Bertocci Stuart Chapman Elizabeth Stewart Samuel Taylor Hester Waldron Bessie Appell Philip Bevcr Eileen Bridges Murdena Campbell Charles Clapp DeLancey Cleveland Mary Earle Arnold Engborg Dorothea Farnsworth Claire Anderson Ruth Bain Dwight Bellows George Benham Florence Bond Miriam Brown Frances Bullen Dorothy Burgess Frances Burhart Alice Chandler Katherine Cooper Berenice Coyne Gretta Dyas Grace AppelofTt Alice Baratta Eleanor Bin ford Marion Burrell Albert Byrnes Frank Calandrella Clifton Campbell Marvin Campbell Blanche Canavan Ruth Chambers Evelyn Dill Helen Doucet Wesley Dupertuis Thelma Ferguson Ruth Finnin Margaret Ford 1924 Esther Cohen Stella Guazzaloca Lillian Kingston Lores McCloskey Dorothy Newman Mary Ransom Eunice Russell Regina Truelson CREDIT. 1923 Samuel Gilman Miriam Gordon Laura Hughes Rena Josie Lillian Laighton Dorothy Levy Beatrice Lord Chester Mattern Eva Mitrano 1924 Avis Eaton Helen England Dorothy Ford Greta Hedlund Lillian Hillman Doris Hyde Selwyn Killam Ruth Linderholm Eleanor MacDonald Mildred Moses Aroosing Xovsessian Charles Newcombe Sara Newcomb 192o Eleanor Gay Elizabeth Gurney Eleanor Harmon Erwvn Harriman Kathryn Heater Eugene Herlihy Mary Holloran Carl Howard Albert Irving Frances Johnson Thomas Kennedy Charles Koechling Florence Lloyd Veda Lohnes Albert Lyons Charles Manning 1925 Ruth Covert Doris Houghton Evelyn Hutchinson Beatrice Mann Claire McTiernan John Tomtohrde Dudley Noyes Olive Robie Walter Robinson Zabellc Sarkisian Charlcna Russell George Tadgell Lily Walgis Fred Everett Wilson George Xinde John O'Loughlin Ruth Paterson Charles Ranger B.

MISS ABIGAIL’S VALENTINE (Continued from Page 123) light enabled her to read the message— “From one who loves you.” Then, opening it, she beheld the object of her heart’s desire— the prettiest valentine greeting she had ever seen. The group of girls had gone only a short dis- tance down the road, when one of them stopped, exclaiming: “There, I’ve lost my prettiest val- entine—the one I was going to give to ML. Abbott! I had it just before we passed the gray house, so I must have dropped it. You wait here and I’ll go back and see if I can find it.” The girl ran back and approached the gray house just as Miss Abigail was opening the envelope. She paused, uncertain whether to claim the valentine or not, but when she heard Miss Abigail repeating to herself, “From one who loves you,” and when she saw the manner in which she clasped the treasure to her heart, she turned and quietly went back to her com- panions. “Did you find it?” they called out to her as she came in sight. “I found it, but I didn’t take it. Girls, what do you think! Old Miss Abigail found that valentine and was hugging it as though it was a fortune. I—I really didn’t have the heart to tell her it wasn’t meant for her. I don’t feel particularly sorry about it, strange to say, and when I explain to Miss Abbott, I’m sure she’ll understand.” 126 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT What a fine thing for us that so many great men and women have preserved their lives in books written with their own personalities o’erspreading the pages. Some of these people have nothing but the charm of their appre- ciation to lift their lives from monotony and commonplaceness, while the lives of others are full of action and adventures, which could well compete with the imaginations of story writers. When we read the biographies of such people their selves become real to us as we inhale the inspiration which ruled their lives. May these extracts, selected from the themes of first-year pupils of the Somerville High School, be testimonial to you of the interest and profit that may be gained from biography. “THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN” (By Noah Brooks) In reading this book admiration for Lincoln is strengthened by the clear portrayal of his early life and the smooth succession of events as presented by the author. P. H. “THE STORY OF MY LIFE” (By Helen Keller) Every time I read a sentence I am impressed with the thought that the author accomplished the almost impossible. Her gallant fight for an education is an inspiration to all and her accomplishments an example. In reading “The Story of My Life” one forgets the afflictions of the writer in the beauty of her descriptions. In her Southern home she writes of the birds and flowers, the mountains and rivers and says: “I linked my earliest thoughts with nature.” She writes of her first visit to the seashore and her experience in a New Hampshire snow- storm. All these incidents teach us that her life is a happy life and in her happiness we find enjoyment. K. H. “THE AMERICANIZATION OF EDWARD BOK” (An Autobiography) I confess, when I first started to read this book, I expected to find it dull and uninterest- ing, but instead found it very pleasing. The many little stories which Bok tells, throw side- lights upon an unexpected side of noted poets, writers and statesmen. J. C. “THE LIFE OF ALICE FREEMAN PALMER” (By George Herbert Palmer) The biography of Alice Freeman Palmer con- cerns the life of a remarkably talented person and gives a good example of the necessity of real work on the part of anyone who wishes to succeed. This book demonstrates the ad- vances made in education during the last few years in an interesting manner with many humorous touches. D. H. “THE LIFE OF VOLTAIRE” (By S. G. Tallentyre) Voltaire’s life was by no means dry facts. It was fraught with danger of death or life im- prisonment. His exciting life is indeed an en- joyment to read. Anyone interested in the lives of great men will find no mean field of informa- tion and pleasure in Voltaire. F. C. (Continued on Page 129) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 127 Grace Figved, Exchange Editor AS WE SEE OTHERS The Skirmisher, Bordentown Military Insti- tute, Bordentown, New Jersey.—Your maga- zine is, literally, packed with interest. The only department that might be improved is the Ex- change Department. You acknowledged a greater number but commented on only three. Your cuts are splendid! They encourage the reading of every item! The Delphian, Moses Brown School, Provi- dence, Rhode Island.—You have a fine, complete magazine with the exception of a department that would really sharpen your wits—to think of something really witty or humorous. Your stories are especially interesting, but in your Exchange Department we noted this in one of your criticisms: “We approve of the absence of a Joke Department, but why,” etc. What are your objections to wit? We hope to hear from you in our next exchange. The Golden Rod, High School, Quincy.— You have quite a literary department! We note with interest your numerous poets! “If” and “The Village Blacksmith” were especially good! A few good departmental cuts would make each department more distinctive. The Gleaner, High School, Pawtucket, Rhode Island.—Your various departments are well de- veloped. Your stories are interesting though rather short. We especially like your Athletic and Exchange Departments. The Netop, Turners Falls High School.— You have an unusually large literary depart- ment for so small a magazine. Your “Ginger Snaps” are good! Why not enlarge on your athletic notes and add a few good cuts? The Record, North High School, Worcester. —A cut for each department or a better ar- rangement of your material would greatly im- prove your magazine. Your school notes are the best part of your magazine, but under that you include everything excepting “Girls’ Ath- letics” and the “Literary Department”! The Hi-Talk, Sherman High School, Texas.— A complete little paper, but we would give less space to “Ticklers.” The Pep-O, Barnesville High School, Minne- sota.—We wish you the best of luck as you begin your career as a school paper. You seem to be setting out in the right direction. Come again! The Palmetto and Pine, St. Petersburg High School, Florida.—Welcome to a representative from the sunny South! You certainly create a distaste for our long, cold winter. We would suggest adding an alumni and exchange col- umns to your paper if possible. The High School Record, Montpelier, Ver- mont.—A nice little magazine with good edi- torials and humorous sections. An alumni de- partment and better arrangement would add to the paper, however. The Pappoose, Globe High School, Arizona.— At the risk of being accused of being too “Bostonese” we think you are perhaps a little too “peppy.” You certainly have interest, how- ever, and most of your departments are well handled. We note the absence of an alumni de- partment. AS OTHERS SEE US The Advocate, Needham High School, Need- ham, Mass., says: “The departments of your paper are well organized, and the headings are well drawn. All in all it is a magazine which ranks with the best.” 128 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THLETKS MELROSE BEATS SOMERVILLE On January 2 Melrose beat Somerville, 2 to 0, at the Boston Arena. “Al” Boyd starred for Somerville, stopping twelve out of fourteen shots at his cage.

BROOKLINE BEATS SOMERVILLE Brookline High’s hockey team beat the Som- erville High team in a hard fought battle at the Cypress street rink January 30, the only score of the game coming in the last of the second overtime period, when Hall, Brookline’s right wing, picked the puck up in mid-ice and in a scrimmage in front of the goal the puck was poked into the net. Jeremiah and McFayden would probably have scored more than once if they had taken more long shots instead of striving to go by Brookline’s defence alone. Boyd played a fine game at goal, while Kelson kept Driscoll busy at the Brookline net. Driscoll and Shapiro played well for Brookline. BROOKLINE SOMERVILLE Capt.

THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT (Continued from Page 126) “ABIGAIL ADAMS” (By Laura Richards) The life of Abigail Adams is interesting not only from a historical point of view but be- cause it shows occasional home scenes of one of our Presidents. It is very interesting to read of the life in foreign countries. There is one disadvantage to the book, that it does not begin interestingly, though interest deepens as the book advances. R. S. “UP FROM SLAVERY” (By Booker T. Washington) Much information may be gained from this book about the way the slaves were treated, and their feelings toward their masters, also concerning conditions of the negro in the world as a whole. J. T. “THOMAS ALVAH EDISON” This book, because of its anecdotes, humor- ous instances, and the like, which the author with much skill has attractively brought out, is very enjoyable. The development of Edison’s various inventions as outlined in this book is, while slightly technical, of an educational value, and Edison’s persistency in doing what he believes he can do is a source of constant inspiration. D. S. It would be interesting to compare these biog- raphies, told in retrospection, with statements made about these men and their works when they were first brought to notice. In many cases the contrasts of opinions are very wide. A book entitled “Rulers of the World,” copy- righted in 1899, describes in detail the home life and traits of these men and women. The Ex-Kaiser of Germany is pictured as a man of kindness and generosity, sincerely moral and religious. It seems impossible to believe this is the same man seen in the light of later history. On the other hand many men ridi- culed in their day are now revered by posterity. 130 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH” The Senior-Junior Play, presented in High School Hall February 2, 1923, was an unquali- fied success. “Nothing But the Truth,” one of William Collier’s Broadway productions, far outshone any similar performance in past years. The play was an account of a ten-thousand dol- lar wager between Bob Bennett, a young busi- ness man, and Mr. Ralston, his employer, in regard to telling the truth and nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours. Rollo Lewis played the part of Bob Bennett and Alexander Brown that of Mr. Ralston. Their humorous presenta- tion of the many amusing situations created by the condition of the bet, was very ably sup- ported by the work of Edward Hall as Dick Don- nelly, an office employee of Mr. Ralston, assisted by Irving Spering as Van Dusen, a young dandy, and by the girls and other members of the cast. Anthony Lemos played the part of the swindled bishop, whose fund for a children’s home caused Bennett to try to raise ten thou- sand dollars by a bet. Allene Rowe, as the girl for whom Bob won the money, was charming, as was Beatrice Carr, as Ethel Clark, whose feelings Bennett continually, though unwil- lingly, hurt. The roll of Mrs. Ralston, the haughty and jealous wife of the harassed business man, was well taken by Rena French. The chorus girls, whose presence in Mr. Ral- ston’s office and country house, served to com- plicate matters, were Dorothy Newman and Marion Chebook. Hester Smith was an attrac- tive French maid. All credit is due Miss Bell for her tireless coaching under difficulties, and to Miss Saun- ders for her assistance. Stanley Teele, stage manager, contributed to the effect of the cli- max by his clever manipulation of the clock hands. The play committee, Lillian Kingston, Richard Walsh and Warren Thomas, attended to the thousand and one details of the perform- ance with commendable attention and energy. The Senior and Junior classes have every rea- son to be proud of an excellent annual play, and of their members who participated. The following high school boys are acting as “Swimming Pool Shares” salesmen in the “Y’s” drive to rebuild: Rufus Choate, 0. N. Codding, Allison Grant, Rollo Lewis, Edward Ninde, Robert Stetson, Stanley Teele, Reginald Wentworth and Ford Works. At the recent city Young People’s Confer- ence held in the West Somerville Congrega- tional Church over fifty per cent, of the dele- gates attend the High School. We extend our sympathy to Kenneth Camp- bell for the injuries received in a tobogganing accident. Henry Tosi has been appointed basketball manager for 1923. Wake up to the fact that your school has a track team, a hockey team, and a basketball team and get out and support them. “Pitter” Fraser, captain-elect of football, 1923, has been seriously ill with double pneu- monia. “Pitter” has starred in both hockey and basketball this season. Kelson, a sophomore, certainly is a star at hockey. As for Jeremiah, McFayden and Boyd, we can’t say too much. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 131 We are glad to see that our “cripples ' Francis McCall and Charles Clapp, have dis- carded their crutches and canes. We, the members of the class of 1923, congratulate Margaret Gasper, 1923, on her recent marriage to Stearns Whitney, class of 1919. The couple were married January 7, 1923, and are now living at 193 School street. Adelbert Morrill and Norman Dawes took part in the play, “Sunshine,” given by the Pros- pect Hill Congregational Church. Miss Bell coached this play. It won't be long now before the baseball will be shooting around the diamond. Watch our team this year! After these report cards let's try “day by day in every way” to make them “better and better.” Only two more reports for the Seniors. Are they to be a source of pride or disgrace? Paul Wilson, Ruth Nangle and Pauline Mar- shall, of S. H. S., 1923, were in a musical com- edy recently given in the Knights of Columbus Hall. Miss Elizabeth Colby is the pianist of the Young People’s Conference of Churches in Som- erville. Various assemblies have been held in High School Hall since the Christmas vacation, the first one being held in an effort to promote in- terest in the Near East Relief. At this time the Juniors and Seniors were assembled and the topic repeated to the Sophomores on ac- count of the large number of pupils. Mrs. Emeric, who has just recently returned from the East, spoke on “Near East Relief Work in Smyrna.” Mrs. Emeric spoke of the work which America had been doing, was doing and should be doing. She spoke especially of the work in which she had been interested, namely, taking care of a thousand or more orphans, and six hundred mothers. Mrs. Emeric told of the hardships and suffering which the children, especially, endured, taking the case of a fifteen- year-old boy as an illustration. As a result of this message over $200 was given by the pupils of Somerville High School to the Near East Relief. AT THE HOUR OF RECEIVING OUR RE- PORT CARDS (With Apologies to Daniel Webster) We come as Americans to receive our re- port cards. We wish that whosoever in all com- ing time may turn his eye on them, may be- hold that we were not undistinguished when in the Somerville High School. We wish that these cards may proclaim the magnitude and importance of our knowledge to every class and every age. We wish that infancy may be told of their significance from maternal lips, and that in our weary and withered age we may behold them, and be solaced by the recollections which they suggest. We wish that our parents may look upon them, and be proud, in the midst of their toil. We wish, finally, that these cards may be covered with A’s. Let the marks rise until they reach the highest, let the teachers smile upon us because of them, and because of them may our hearts be filled with everlasting joy! Ruth L. Berry. HISTORY AS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN “To be or not to be,” said Hamlet, as he con- sidered his bid to the shifters. “Go w’est, young man,” said Horace Greeley, as he directed a tramp to Coolidge Corner. “One and inseparable, now and forever,” mused Lincoln, as he viewed the Siamese twins. “I cannot tell a lie,” said George Washington, “because I signed the Honor system.” “Lest she betray other men,” said Othello, as he pushed his Ford into the river. “I’d rather be Wright than President,” de- clared Henry Clay’s grandson, on seeing the in- ventor glide through the air like a bird. “The world is mine,” said Monte Christo, as he dropped two cents into the newsboy’s hand.. CLASS COLORS Our class colors are green and gray, They should be changed, so Seniors say, Someone suggested green and white, All voted no! ! with all their might. There are many pupils in this school, Some of them work while others fool. But who will color our new banner, And be made famous in this manner? Our president was very calm, He saw no reason for alarm. An answer he could not derive, So he appointed a board of five. 132 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Clothes don’t make the man they say.

We have spent the greater portion of our working hours here for the last three years. To some of us perhaps graduation will seem a final es- cape from bondage, but most of us deep down in our hearts cherish a little bit of love for the old school and for the friendships formed here. A great man once said that friendships formed during the school years are the best and most lasting. And why not? Our high school and college years are the years in which every- thing in us is growing. Our bodies, minds, habits and characters are all developed during the school years. The child is truly father of the man. In this period of general growth are thrown our high school and college friendships. No wonder they stick. In June the class of 1923, with its friend- ships and its memories, will be scattered to the four winds—some to higher institutions of learning, some to business and some to the home. Shall we let mere physical distance dis- unite the class of 1923? We hope not! When you are off to “foreign fields and pastures new,” remember old ties are best and keep up your friendship with that old school day chum. From the first of April on event follows event with startling rapidity and no senior can complain for lack of things to do. Pictures, work for the Year Book, preparation for Senior night, Junior night and Class Day, the events themselves, afternoon examinations, baseball, studies and finally graduation. A long list, and lucky are those whose names are not on the doubtful list and have not the added worry of striving for a diploma. There are many officers and committees con- nected with the closing months of the Senior year. The Class Day committee, three in num- ber. The Senior Night committee, also three in number. Two class prophets, two historians and a Class Day orator. The odist and poet are de- cided by competition. Deep consideration should be given each candidate as to his or her qualifications. The committees should be earnest workers with executive ability. The class orator should be the best speaker in the class who also has a brain with good ideas. The historians and prophets should possess imag- ination and wit. A gift committee serves, but is appointed by the class president. Seniors should be considering suitable class gifts and give their suggestions to the com- mittee. We are pleased to announce that the story “At the Edge of the World,” printed in the January issue, was written by Marston Sargent of the class of 1924. PHOTOGRAPHS The Regent Studio has been elected class photographer. The price is $12.00 for fifty, in- cluding one large picture and glossy proof for Year Book. The schedule has been posted and we hope the seniors will support the Year Book by getting their pictures in early enough to arrange them alphabetically. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 143 The Radiator Year Book committee has been elected and is as follows: Seniors, Robert Glover, Charles Clapp, Esther Fisher, Frances Knibbs and Elizabeth Stewart. Juniors, Robert Holmes, Elliot Brown and Dorothy Newman. Sophomores, Robert Pride. Please co-operate with them in every way. ALICE L. DAVIS Graduates of the Southern Junior High School learned with sincere sorrow of the sud- den death of Miss Alice L. Davis, for many years a valued teacher in that school and in the Bell School. Miss Davis possessed a rare personality, generous, thoughtful and consid- erate of others and always courteous. She preferred to keep in the background rather than to find herself in the limelight—yet such were the noble, sterling qualities of her char- acter that those who were privileged to be as- sociated with her, whether as pupils or as fel- low teachers, became her lasting, loyal friends. President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot of Har- vard, America’s most distinguished educator, celebrated his eighty-ninth birthday on Tues- day, March 20. Asked for an expression of opinion on that occasion he wrote as follows: “My experience does not furnish a short, ex- plicit prescription for keeping health and work- ing power till eighty-nine years of age, prob- ably because many and various causes have con- tributed to the result, but I feel safe in affirm- ing that any one who desires to have a like ex- perience will do well to eat moderately, to sleep at least seven hours a night with windows open, to take regular exercise in the open air every day, to use no stimulants, to enjoy all natural delights without excess in any, and to keep under all circumstances as serene a spirit as his nature permits. “This is the way to win from life the maxi- mum of real joy and satisfaction. Does this seem a materialistic doctrine? It by no means excludes the spiritual influences of abiding love and good will.” At eighty-nine he still “carries on”—keen and vigorous, with never-failing vision, ever facing the light—and seeing in that light the things which civilization needs he writes on them and passes them on to his fellow man. News has already begun to come in of the winning of high scholastic honors by gradu- ates of Somerville High School. Two such in- stances are: Miss Pauline Dodge, S. H. S., '20, a member of the Junior class at Radcliffe, is one of eleven students to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the mid-year election. Miss Mildred Codding, S. H. S., ’20, is a Durant honor pupil of the Junior class at Wellesley. These are noble beginnings. We doubt not others will be heard from as this year passes. We give the following notice of honor to Mr. Shields, S. H. S., ’13, which has not appeared before:— Edward J. Shields of Somerville, connected with a firm of Boston architects, has been awarded the Despradelle memorial prize. The contest was open to students of architecture at Harvard and M. I. T. and members of the Boston architectural clubs. There were about fifty competitors for the prize for the best de- sign of a clubhouse for winter sports. Mr. Shields graduated from the Somerville High School in 1913 and was a member of the M. I. T., class of 1918. He won the Chamberlain prize in 1920. On page 149 is an advertisement of the Year Book of 1923. It is a large undertaking, larger than most of us realize. It is worth while for everyone. Will you subscribe or wish you had! We call attention to an article by Arthur Knox. It may sound a bit “bookish” till we know that while Knox is an all-round superior scholar, his main interest is geology. He has read widely on the subject and has been for several years a member of the Saturday classes of Professor Barton of Boston Univer- sity. Much that appears in his article he has verified by actual observation. 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Great Ice Sheet and Its Effects on the Topography of New England By Arthur S. Knox, 1923 HAT New England was at one time covered by an immense ice sheet, such as exists today in Greenland, is inferred by the fact that the older rock is covered, in places to a great depth, by deposits of rock- flour, clay, pebbles and boulders, the latter in places reaching huge dimensions. Many rocks are also covered with prominent scratches and grooves caused by glacial scour, and the north- ern slopes of the majority of the New Eng- land hills are smooth and regular while their southern slopes are in many cases rough and irregular. New England also abounds in other phenomena which exist in glaciated regions of today. Many of these are found in and around Boston alone, such as drumlins, eskars, kames, sand-plains, kettle-holes, Jerraces, deltas, ter- minal and ground moraines, and many other similar glacial formations. Besides these, more extensive changes have been produced by the glacier. The mountains of New England, once as rugged and irregular as the Alps today, have been worn down to comparatively rounded slopes, river valleys have been deepened and widened, the rivers themselves have been transformed into exten- sive lakes and- the courses of many have been changed, to entirely different localities, beau- tiful waterfalls and cascades have been created, and new lakes have come into existence. All these are but a few of the many changes which the ice sheet has accomplished. The beauty of New England of today is due largely to the work of the glacier. For instance, Boston harbor would lose much if not all of its beauty, were it not for the numerous ellip- tical hills called drumlins. Many of the beau- tiful lakes and ponds of New England would not be in existence today were it not for the ice sheet. Such bodies of water near Boston as Jamaica Pond, Spy Pond, Lake Walden, and many other so-called kettle-hole lakes, are a result of glaciation. Even Cape Cod was formed by the terminal moraine of the glacier which forms its “back-bone.” The causes that produced this great ice sheet are not known. There are several theories, but as yet none have met with general approval. But it is quite evident that at one time the snowfall in the St. Lawrence Valley was so great that some of the deposit remained throughout the summer. As this snow and ice accumulated year after year, and century after century, it began to spread out in the same manner as plastic mud spreads out when more is deposited upon it. The motion of the movement of the ice in New England, deter- mined by the slopes of the hills and the parallel scratches on the rock, was in a southerly direc- tion, varying more or less by the physical fea- tures of the land. On the other hand, the move- ment of the ice in northern Canada, determined in the same manner, was in a northerly direc- tion, thus showing that the centre of the move- ment was in the St. Lawrence Valley. The depth of the glacier is also unknown, but it must have been very deep since Mt. Wash- ington, the highest point in New England, was entirely covered by it. This has been ascer- tained by the fact that the peak of Mt. Wash- ington is rounded like the lower hills, that many rocks near the summit have been found to be scratched and grooved, and that boulders, which must have been brought several miles, have been discovered on its peak. Moreover, the material which forms the drumlins in eastern Massachusetts is so compact that it is neces- sary to use a pickaxe to loosen it, thus show- ing that it was compressed by an enormous weight. The southern terminus of the glacier can be traced today by its terminal moraines through Long Island, New York, New Jersey, and in a westerly direction across the continent. Previous to the appearance of the great ice sheet, the surface rock of North America had become very much weathered. A great accum- ulation of loose and “rotten” rocks of varying dimensions and shapes had covered the rock floor in places to a great depth. When the ice, therefore, passed over this loose material, it attached these rock fragments to itself by freezing and carried them with it often to great distances. When these angular fragments of rock, firmly frozen to the bottom of the glacier, came in contact with the rock floor, the finer fragments of rock and rock flour smoothed and polished, while the larger fragments scratched and grooved the rock bed. The scratches and grooves usually have a common direction SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 145 which shows the direction of the movement of the ice. Moreover, on moving over a projection, the glacier smoothed and polished the northern slope while it plucked angular fragments from the southern side or passed over without af- fecting it. Therefore, the majority of the hills and rock projections, which were exposed to the action of the glacier, have smooth, gentle slopes on the north and rough, steep slopes on the south. “Such rock surfaces have a fanciful resemblance to a flock of crouching sheep, on which account the French have called them roche moutonnees, a name which has been generally adopted for such erosion surfaces.” —Grabau. When the ice melted and the glacier slowly retreated, or in other words, the melting of the ice was greater than the amount advanced, it deposited its load of boulders, sand and clay, commonly called “till.” Large areas of north- ern North America are covered with this de- posit, which often fills in irregularities in the rock topography and tends to produce a more or less level surface. The thickness of this de- posit varies from several hundred feet to only a few inches. In some places huge boulders have been left with the till, often in unstable positions and are often spoken of as balanced rocks. The common term applied to all such scattered accumulation of material dropped by the ice is glacial drift. One of the most conspicuous features of the glacial drift is the smooth elliptical hill, often several hundred feet in height, having its long- est axis parallel to the movement of the ice, called a drumlin. The exact manner of their formation is still undecided, but it is quite evi- dent that they were built up beneath the ice. They are especially numerous in central and western New York, Wisconsin and eastern Massachusetts. When the glacier remained stationary or nearly so or in other words the amount of melting equalled the amount advanced, for a considerable length of time, an extreme amount of glacial debris was deposited, since the ac- cumulation of the material was practically in one place. This deposit or terminal moraine, as it is called, is extremely irregular since the drift was not distributed uniformly throughout the ice. These moraines can be determined to- day by their very irregular surfaces, and since the depressions are without outlets, the mor- aines are often dotted with numerous marshes, lakes and ponds. Both the ground and terminal moraines are often dotted with steep and more or less rounded depressions commonly called kettle- holes. These were formed by the melting of blocks of ice buried in the drift as the glacier retreated. Besides the glacial phenomena mentioned above there are others of equal importance, but of slightly different origins. Those discussed have been formed practically in every case by the deposition of glacial debris on the melting of the ice and this deposit has ranged from huge boulders to fine rock flour, but the follow- ing class of glacial deposit was formed by the waters resulting from the melting of the ice sheet. This type of deposit is usually more or less stratified and consists of rounded pebbles,, sand and clay. It is spoken of as stratified drift. The most important types of such deposits are the kames, sand-plains or glacial deltas, ter- races and eskars. In glaciated regions groups of conical hills with high steep sides called kames are not un- common. All kames are not of the same origin. “Some were formed at the margin of the ice where the streams issuing from beneath under pressure heaped up their loads of sand and gravel against the ice fronts. Upon the melt- ing of the ice these kames assumed a more or less irregular surface depending upon the char- acter of the ice front.” Isolated kames may have been formed in local lakes on the surface of the ice or the drainage along the sides of deep val- leys may have given rise to a kame topography. In the same way deltas were rapidly built when glacial streams entered bodies of water. “In Massachusetts, for example, a glacial lake of large extent was formed by the damming of the Hoosic River by the ice sheet. Although the lake did not exist a long period of time, yet the heavily loaded streams which flowed into it built conspicuous deltas.”—Cleland. Another form of stratified drift which has a marked effect on the topography of New Eng- land is the eskar. Eskars are narrow, winding,, irregular ridges of sand and gravel formed be- neath or on the glacier by subglacial or by superglacial streams. In places they can be traced for many miles and are an important feature in the landscape. They are usually ten or more feet wide at the summit and from a few feet to fifty feet high, resembling aban- doned railroad grades. They usually follow val- leys, but in many cases they cross the coun- try with little regard to the topography. They are found most numerous where the streams emptied into bodies of water. Under these con- (Continued on Page 157.) 146 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Go-getter By Grant Kent, ’24 OMMY SANBORN was just twenty- one the day he graduated from college, which was an accomplish- ment for Tommy, not to say that Tommy lacked grey matter, but due to the fact that Tommy was somewhat of a Croesus in the way of supply- ing entertainment to the appreciative fellow sufferers of his fraternity. But now as he stood on the step of his knock- down racer he turned and gazed with an air of dignified sophistication at his alma mater across the campus, and heaved a sigh of re- gret. Then waving a last good-bye to the men on the porch he swung his leg over the seat, viciously jammed the gears in mesh and dis- appeared down the road in a cloud of blue fumes from his motor. In the interim, while Tommy is journeying homeward, let us say a few words about the young man himself. Tommy was considered the college hero. He had distinguished himself in no mean way on the gridiron by his ability to get in the way of the opposing team, and had never had time out during three years on the varsity. He added further to his laurels by tending goal on the hockey sextette, stopping forty-nine shots in three fifteen-minute periods of champion- ship play. Also, he was termed by his fellow men as a “go-getter. Aside from that he was awfully nice, espe- cially from the feminine standpoint, for he was six-foot-two, possessed light hair and blue eyes, danced wonderfully well, and was the owner of a nice slow smile that was worth waiting for. Just himself he was very much of an opti- mist. If things went wrong, they could have been worse; if everything was pleasant, he was satisfied. What more could one ask? The strange thing about Tommy Sanborn was this. He was always having his own way with- out seeming to do so. He never announced beforehand what he was going to do, he never annoyed people by arguing how he was going to do it. Instead, he usually walked away with the prize money in his pocket while the rival interests were planning how to spend it when it came in. Two days later Tommy arrived at the home of the senior Sanborn just as that worthy gentleman was leaving for his offices, from whence he oversaw the achievements of his plant and its manufacture of Sanborn's “Comet, reputed to be as good an automobile as its factory was spacious, the largest in the West. Tommy’s debut was nothing but spec- tacular. Roaring up the long drive he drew abreast of the low porch and there seemingly lost con- trol of his car. The fore wheel rubbed against the bottom step, turned inward and mounted the four broad steps. The low car straightened out, and as the elder Mr. Sanborn leaped back- ward to the darker recesses of his hallway, the car, carried by its momentum in spite of ap- plied brakes, careened through the double por- tals and stopped, ’midships abreast the door jambs. Tommy leaned nonchalantly over the side of the racer, surveyed the splintered doors and their respective casings, flicked the ash from his cigarette and prepared himself for the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 147 tirade which he knew would be forthcoming. It came. “Say—say, young man,—” the elder San- born started. “What’s the meaning of this? Where did you learn that cute little trick?” Mr. Sanborn, Sr. turned to the awed butler, standing a discreet distance beyond a battered fender. “Look at that, Jenkins, look at that, isn’t it a disgrace to a respectable man, sir, having a grinning ape of a son like that? Isn’t it now?” Jenkins agreed that it was. “Well, speak up, don’t sit there all day, what have you got to say for yourself?” “Well, sir, judging from my position, in- capacitated as I am—” Tommy began. “Jenkins, listen to him, ‘incapacitated as he is.’ Decapitated as you should be, young man. It is now nine-thirty o’clock. You have this cleaned up and be down getting fitted to a monkey-suit before noon. We’ll have no more of this rough-housing.” Tommy’s father turned his back on his son and proceeded toward his waiting cabriolet, while Tommy wearily spun his steering wheel that spelled the sequel of his early downfall, a broken steering knuckle. Time moved onward, a year passed through which Tommy worked with a restless energy, won the confidence of his fellow-workers by nis effervescing good fellowship. Innovated new ideas in the various departments that made the work easier, was president of the athletic association, and was looked down upon by his father as his father’s son. All of which meant a good deal. One day Miss Pearson, his father’s private secretary, stepped into the experimental de- partment with some reports on the testing of a new disc wheel. Tommy was alone in a se- cluded corner engrossed in an endeavor to find the reason why a cork float of a carburetor wouldn’t float. Miss Pearson laid the reports by his side, and said: “Tommy, McKenna, of the racing crew, is sick with the flu. They’re two men short.” Tommy was silent for a moment. “How’s Dad feeling today?” he asked. “Fine, from all outward appearances,” she answered. Tommy leaned toward Miss Pearson and spoke close to her ear: “Jannie, you’re a brick,” and quickly demonstrated that he usually had his own way without seeming to do so at all. A blushing, but inwardly pleased Miss Janet Pearson carefully made her way out of the experimental department. That afternoon Tommy walked into the of- fice of his father, seated himself on a desk-top, lit a cigarette, and exhaled twin streams of smoke through his nostrils. “What amount do you want now?” queried the elder Sanborn. “Something more important than finance, Dad, how about a job on the racing crew?” “Nothing doing, young man, on your way.” “But Dad------” “No ‘buts.’ Final. Can’t have an only son racing, my boy.” Tommy accepted this as final and the next day reported to the racing stables, located on a two-mile track some distance from the big factory. He approached a group of mechanics, lean- ing over a low hung Comet Special, the type of car the Sanborn people banked their hopes on in the annual five-hundred-mile classic. “What do you want, stranger?” asked a grufT individual, eying Tommy with suspicion. “How about a racing job?” Tommy replied. “Huh, what company are you snitching for?” “None,” answered Tommy. “Out on my own hook, heard you were two men short, so I thought I’d come over and offer my services.” A general snicker ran through the assembly. “My gracious, hear that, isn’t mamma’s bov kind?” The gruff individual appeared to cogitate, meanwhile running his eyes over Tommy’s length. “Listen, buddy, we are two men short, and good mechanics are hard to get. Start that car and make it run as long as we want it to run and you’ve got a job. We can’t make it go, tried all morning.” Tommy walked over to the car, got in the cockpit and started the motor. It rolled over perhaps a dozen times, then with a final gasp it stopped. Tommy repeated this performance two or three times more with the same result. Then he picked up a tin cup and unscrewing the pet-cock in the bottom of the carburetor, drained the gasoline into the cup. Then he set it in the dirt, lit a match and threw it in the fluid. Immediately a flame shot up. The group watched the result with interest, some with questioning looks on their countenances, others with a ridiculing smile. When the last flame had gone out Tommy turned to the gruff individual. “Water won’t burn,” he said. “Do I get the job?” “You sure do, my name’s Brewer, what’s yours?” (Continued on Page 158.) 148 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Ownership? By Katherine Cooper, 1924 LIP,” the notorious burglar, was up to his old tricks again and this time the scene of his action was laid at the home of Professor Irv- ing, a well known naturalist and biologist, who had in his posses- sion a so-called genuine lucky stone which “Slip” wished to obtain. He seized this oppor- tunity because the house had been closed for the summer, and he was then crouched be- neath a shrub in the garden, waiting until dark. Someone else, too, had the same intention evi- dently, because he looked just in time to see a pair of legs disappearing through a window on the side of the house. Craving adventure of some sort, “Slip” de- termined to enter by means of his pass-key and assume ownership of the house. Meanwhile the first intruder, who was in the act of searching the rooms on the upper floor, heard the key turn in the lock of the front door and someone enter the hall. Realizing that he was soon to be discovered, he, too, had an in- spiration, to pretend to be the owner of the house. Donning a smoking jacket, which he found thrown over the back of a chair, and lighting a cigar, he sauntered casually out into the hall- way and down the stairs, keeping his hand, however, on the handle of his revolver, con- cealed in his pocket. Seeing the glare from a small flashlight in the study, he advanced as far as the thresh- hold, where the other, who had been waiting for this moment, met him, and the two, feign- ing astonishment at the other’s presence, said simultaneously: “Who are you and what are you doing?” While each was trying to convince the other of his rightful ownership, the thunder-storm, which had been threatening all the evening, ar- rived, shaking the house with its fury. There was a fierce storm brewing on the inside of the house also, and the two men had just ar- rived at the height of their argument and were about to come to blows, when— A vivid flash of lightning startled them and they turned about in time to see the door of the closet breaking loose from its hinges and fall forward, striking the floor with a tremend- ous crash. At the same time a shot rang loud and clear through the silent house and the thieves beheld a skeleton entirely surrounded by flame, grinning at them from the depths of the dark closet. It seemed to be jeering at them and mocking them and in its hand they saw a gun. Standing absolutely paralyzed with fear they waited for the moment when the flaming spec- tre should advance and heap destruction upon their heads and decree some terrible punish- ment upon them. Shrinking slowly, inch by inch, away from the awful closet they reached the hall, after what seemed eternity, and slowly backed out of the house and down the walk to- ward the street, fully expecting the phantom would follow them. They reached the street still trembling and shaking with dread apprehen- sion, the sound of that shot ringing in their ears and the supernatural vision ever before their eyes. Suddenly a heavy hand fell on the shoulder of each and a deep voice boomed: “Why, what on earth is the matter with you gent------” a flash of recognition, and then, “Well, I guess this means another ten years, ‘Slip,’ and you too, ‘Pete.’ Caught right in the act of doing what you did when you were sent up before, weren’t you ?” There was no answer from either, but some incoherent mutters about “flaming ghosts,” “mysterious shots,” “grinning spectres shoot- ing guns.” A shrill whistle from the officer immediately brought assistance, and the two thieves were arrested, but were apparently so dazed and ter- rified that they made no resistance. When the officer had disposed of his pris- oners, he returned to the scene of the arrest and entered the house, to find, if he could, the cause for the extraordinary fright of the two men. He entered the study and was confronted by the grinning skeleton. The storm was still rag- ing and with every flash of lightning the skel- eton seemed to be transformed into a mass of flame, through which the grinning countenance appeared amazingly real. The officer smiled when he saw the cause of the illumination, but admitted that it must have been terrifying to those who had come to steal. (Continued on Page 153.)

SUBSCRIBE OR BE SORRY! 150 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Those whose opportunities for travel are neglected, are past or have not yet arrived, may gain much of the enjoyment and avoid the irksome side of traveling. Each reads with a different viewpoint. The first is the practical side of those who neglect traveling. They have not the keen desire to see the world and are content to sit by the fire and read of long, exhausting hikes over north- ern snows, satisfied with their saving of time, energy and money. Next is the viewpoint of those whose op- portunities are past. They have a sense of familiarity with the countries they have visited and are now reading about, and their interest is increased by the recollection of in- cidents. And then there is the viewpoint of those whose opportunities have not yet arrived. They read with a zeal for knowledge, ever mindful of the hope that sometime they will see these places. For them all books are “ . . . a gate where through Gleams the untraveled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever as we move.” Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad” is an ac- count of a journey around the world, told with a great deal of humor, which does not belittle the great sights seen. The journey was taken with a party on a specially chartered steamer. In contrast to this mode of travel Harry Frank describes his “Vagabonding Around the World.” Mr. Frank was a teacher of Romance languages and proved his theory that it was possible to travel around the world without money, weapons or baggage. He started from Detroit, shipped on a cattle boat to Glasgow and thence set out on foot. Another general travel book is Kipling’s “Letters of Travel.” The United States, Switzerland, China and Japan are described in his masterly style. “The Yankee on the Yantsze” describes Shanghai. Nanking, Hankow, with the narra- tive of a trip through the Central Kingdom to Burma. “From Cairo to the Cataract,” by Blanche Meybury Carson, is a diary begun as the trans- Atlantic liner left New York and records the experiences of a sail down the Nile through an old civilization. Cairo is the western metropolis of the Orient with its line of nar- row lanes, with its lofty minarets and shining domes shut in by small shops and dingy dwel- lings, and with the magnificent mansions of wealthy Asiatics and Turks. The sail down the Nile on the steamship Rameses is between sandy shores devoid of brushwood and only broken by the tall palm and date trees. “Down to the Sea,” by Grenfell, is the story of a cruise about Labrador, where the Aurora Borealis so frequently illuminates the heavens. “The Yosemite,” by John Muir, is a personal narrative of the famous naturalist. The Bridal Veil, a beautiful waterfall in a beautiful set- ting. the Yosemite Falls, Vernal Falls, famous for its rainbows when the sun shines into the spray at a favorable angle, the Douglas Spruces, the birds and the glaciers described need the pen of a naturalist like John Muir to bring their beauty before our eyes. “The Scott Country” will take you to Eng- land and Scotland, where Scott lived as a boy at Sandyknowe, to Hawick among the hills, the birthplace of the prototype of “Old Mortality,” to Ashestiel on the Tweed, for eight years Scott’s home, in which “The Lady of the Lake,” “The Lay of the Last Minstrel,” “Marmion” and “Waverley” were written, to Peeble in the Lowlands, where the Black Dwarf lived, and finally to Abbotsford among the Eildon Hills. Here Scott said: “I can stand on the Eildon Hills and point out forty-three places famous in war and verse.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 151 1922.

To eliminate sectionalism, a great hindrance to the proper election of class officers, the fol- lowing resolution was drawn up:— All candidates for office in the Sophomore year must have a standard of at least four points of A or B, and no mark lower than C. All Junior and Senior nominees retain the standard of previous years, i. e., Juniors must be passing in eighteen points of work and Seniors thirty-six points of work. The Soph- omore election to be preceded by a primary election, in order that the winning candidate may obtain a majority vote. The following committee was appointed to make plans for a Students’. Council Assembly: Harry Hurley, Evelyn Thompson and John Thompson. To date the committee has selected March 16, 1923, for the assembly. A notice, to be put on the bulletin, warning the pupils to take care when passing through the dressing rooms. Each of the preceding motions and resolu- tions was put in operation by the Students’ Council for the benefit of the pupils, and eacli pupil should do his part in the upholding of them. OWNERSHIP? (Continued from Page 148.) He then remembered the burglars’ confused mutterings about the shot. Examining more closely the interior of the closet, he found a rifle leaning against the arm of the skeleton, which gave the appearance of being held up- right. He experimented for some time and finally came to the conclusion that the gun, which had been standing up against the wall of the closet, had been dislocated at the same time that the door had fallen and when it struck the skeleton it had exploded. Satisfied that he had solved the mystery that had led to the arrest of the two thieves, he left the house, bolting and barring it to prevent a second entrance. The sympathy of the Student Body is ex- tended to Miss Louise Saunders at this time in the loss of her only sister. 154 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Have you seen the pins of the “distin- guished” members of the Flayers’ Club? If not, why not? Somerville High School was much honored when her orchestra and Glee Clubs were asked to play and sing by radio at Medford Hillside on Wednesday, February 28. Were you “listen- ing in”? “Ain’t it a grand and glorious feelin’ ” when, after the short recess, we begin our beloved exercises. Rut fear not, for “patience is a vir- tue” and if only we have the patience we shall be able to master them! Seniors! save up your pennies. Graduation time is near! Recently two short plays were pre- sented to the Eastern Star by the members of Somerville High School Players’ Club. “The Maker of Dreams” and “The Paper Match” were the plays given, the first having been given before the members of the high school. The cast in “The Paper Match” were: Alex- ander Brown, Allene Rowe, Dorothea Farns- worth and Irving Spering. This play was also presented at an entertainment at the West Somerville Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, March 7. THEATRE PARTY The Players’ Club had the pleasure of attend- ing the Copley Theatre, in a body, Thursday afternoon of the vacation week. The play pre- sented was “The Romantic Young Lady.” After the performance the club had tea with the Jewett Flayers. About thirty-four of the club members attended the matinee and as the old saying goes, “A good time was had by all.” PLAYERS CLUB RECEPTION TO FACULTY The afternoon of Monday, February 12, after all pupils had left the building, our teachers made merry as the guests of the Players’ Club. As each teacher arrived at the hall he was escorted to the receiving line, Cleon Hopkins, president; Miss Clement, vice-presi- dent; DeLancey Cleveland, secretary, and Miss Leach, treasurer. After all the teachers had been seated, Miss Esther Fisher announced that the first event would be a bowling con- test. The floor of the hall had been cleared and everyone bowled with great glee, if not ac- curacy. Mr. Sears won the prize for men, with a score of 18, and Miss Bowker the ladies’ prize, with a score of 11. Mr. Avery insisted on bowl- ing in every alley at once, but was restrained. The next event was even more hilarious. A large red, wooden heart was suspended from the balcony. Three tennis balls were given each teacher and the object was to throw them through small holes in the heart. It proved ex- tremely difficult, but Mr. Small managed to put one through. Our pitcher, Mr. Hayward, owing to some evil jinx was unable to do it although he tried privately a great many times. Teachers and members of the club then joined in a good old-fashioned Virginia reel. Mr. Hop- kins welcomed the faculty and stated that the work of the club was only possible with the co- operation of the faculty and that the reception was a tangible expression of the club’s appre- ciation of the many kindnesses of the faculty. A delightful collation was then served. Miss Bell supervised the affair. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 155 NEW RADIO CLUB FORMED A radio club has been recently organized at the Somerville High School, having the follow- ing as officers: Leslie Thompson, president; Carlton Bessey, vice-president; Ronald Naug- ler, secretary; Louis Smith, treasurer. Muriel Estes was appointed librarian and Dean Swan, Jr., elected publicity manager. Messrs. Obear, Miller and Mahoney will be the faculty advisers for the club, while the licensed operators, about nine in number, will serve as technical advisers. Code practice is given to those desirous for same and many publications pertaining to radio will be available to all members. The club intends to have a radio set soon. The club has many advantages to offer any- one interested in radio, and new members are desired. Dean Swan, Jr., Publicity Manager, Home Room 201. Wednesday, January 31st, an assembly was held in High School Hall. As the pupils assem- bled the High School Band played, also playing several selections afterward. Several selections were given by the Boys’ Glee Club. 1925 NOTES The class of 1925 has chosen officers at last and has become an organized part of Somer- ville High School. The first-year class elections this year were unusually late. The sopho- mores know why, and it is up to them to stand back of the people they have elected and to turn over a new leaf. We have not had a record to be proud of thus far. Let us endeavor, in these last four months of school, to convince Somerville High, as a whole, that we’re the best class it has ever seen. Sophomores, wake up to the fact that you are now entitled to recognition as a class and individually, in the Radiator. Send in class notes and personal notes; what you and your friends are doing in school and out. Marion Burrell, a sophomore, went to New York the twenty-second of February and re- turned the fourth of March. When asked what she did there and what she saw, she said: “Everything,” so we can guess that she had a pretty good time. The Sophomore class elections were held at the close of the second quarter, and the results of the primaries were as follows:— President, Clifton R. Campbell, Roger Van Iderstine; vice-president, Eleanore B. Drew, Marion Knight; secretary, Muriel Clark, Mil- dred Nugent; treasurer, Eugene Le Sieur, Robert Pride; editor, Beatrice Kenny, Frank Veneri; assistant editor, Mabel Gunning. In the finals, the following were chosen as officers of the class of 1925:— President, Clifton R. Campbell; vice-presi- dent, Eleanore B. Drew; secretary, Muriel Clark; treasurer, Eugene Le Sieur; editor, Beatrice Kenny; assistant editor, Mabel Gun- ning. Give all class notes to Beatrice Kenny or Mabel Gunning, both in Room 213. We are glad to see Bernice Fitzpatrick back at school after an attack of grippe. The Western Junior High reunion, class of ’21, will be held in the new auditorium of the Western Junior High School, March 16, 1923. There will be an entertainment and dance. We are proud of the pupils who took part in the Radio Concert during vacation. Dorothy Shaw played several ’cello solos. Hester Smith enjoyed skiing and snowshoe- ing parties while at Athol during vacation. “Whispering in the classroom is taboo, Whispering in the corridor means a ‘call’ for you, No whispering at all— What’s a fellow going to do?” COMMERCIAL NOTES More awards have been received by pupils in the Typewriting Department from the Under- wood, Royal or Remington Company. Consid- ering the time spent on speed work during Jan- uary and February the result is good. An in- teresting letter received from the Royal Com- pany contained the following:— “I wish to congratulate both you and the students on the excellent showing made and trust that the boys and girls will try for our higher awards in the very near future.” In addition to the list published in the Janu- ary number of the Radiator the following pupils have received awards:— 156 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR BRONZE MEDALS.

On the melting of the ice a winding ridge of sand and gravel with steep sides would be formed. The last important formation of this group of phenomena is the terrace carved from the stratified or non-stratified drift by rivers which carried off the water of the melting ice. “The conspicuous terraces of the Connecticut and Merrimac Rivers and their tributaries are rem- nants of deposits of stratified drift.” The land in New England, previous to the appearance of the glacier, was in general as thoroughly drained as many portions of our southern states today, but after the ice sheet had covered it and had left its deposit the drainage was hindered to a great extent. New lakes and rivers were formed, the courses of many were altered, and many other like changes were accomplished. The lakes were formed in several ways. The rock may have been scooped out, forming rock basins, or river valleys may have been dammed by drift. Besides these, other lakes called finger lakes, because of their shape, are not uncom- mon and were caused by the glacial deepening of old river valleys and by the damming of their outlets. The effects of glacial scour are very numer- ous, especially on the rock hills that bound the Boston basin. Blue Hills, the hills of Newton, Waltham, Arlington, Medford and Melrose all bear unmistakable evidences of glacial scour. The roche mountonnee outline is a prominent characteristic of most of them, while many of the exposed rocks and ledges on their slopes are polished, scratched and grooved. But perhaps the most prominent effect of the glacier on the topography of the land in and around Boston are the drumlins. Most of the hills in the Boston basin are of this type and many fine examples are to be found, of which, probably, the best known are Beacon and Parker Hills, in Boston; Corey Hill, in Brook- line; Bunker Hill, in Charlestown; Winter and Central Hills, in Somerville, and Tufts College Hill in Medford. One of the best places, how- ever, to study the internal structure of the drumlin is at Winthrop Head. Here the sea has washed away almost a half of the hill, ex- posing to view its interior formation. On exam- ining closely the conglomeration of material, it will be noted that the spaces between the bould- ers have been filled with finer fragments of rock which are held in turn by sand and clay, thus making the entire mass very compact. On more careful examination of the rock frag- ments, it will be found that they consist of many kinds of rock which, in some cases, must have been brought many miles, and that they are all more or less polished and many are marked with scratches running in many direc- tions, caused partly by being dragged over the rock bed and partly by the movement of the sand laden ice. Kettle-holes are also very numerous in the vicinity of Boston, while eskars and sand- plains. although far less common, have a con- siderable effect on the topography. One of the best places about Boston to study the eskar and sand-plain is Weston. Here there is a prom- inent eskar which can be traced northerly for nearly two miles. Since it conforms to the topography of the land over which it travels, it almost entirely disappears in places while in others it rises many feet above the surround- ing country. At one point man has cut away a portion of the eskar, thus exposing to view its internal structure. As before stated eskars are included in the class of stratified drift. The natural inference therefore would be that the material of which this eskar is composed would be stratified. Yet this is not the case, but on the other hand the material is massed in utmost confusion. This lack of stratification can be easily accounted for. Eskars may be of two kinds, subglacial and superglacial. The former is the only one that retains its original strati- fication while the material of the other is forced to entirely rearrange itself on the melting of the ice. Therefore, it is quite evident that the eskar discussed was of superglacial origin. Another glacial phenomenon not as prom- inent or as numerous around Boston as the es- kars, is the terrace. A good example of this form of glacial deposition and erosion can be seen near Kendall Green railroad station in Waltham. Here the glacier had deposited a considerable amount of till in the valley through which Stony Brook now flows. This till had been worn down by a stream flowing from the retreating glacier until the present step-like form had been sculptured. On the south side of the valley there can be seen several good 158 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR examples of kettle-holes, which prove without a doubt that the material in the valley is gla- cial debris. The last prominent example of the work of the glacier to be found in the vicinity of Boston is Hemlock Gorge in Newton. Here the Charles River, turned aside from its meandering course by glacial deposits, was forced to cut for itself a new channel, thus forming this picturesque gorge. There is some doubt whether the river’s former course was east or west of its present position, but it has been generally accepted by geologists that its former course was in the valley to the east of the gorge. The above are but a few of the numerous ex- amples of the glacier’s work and many more could be mentioned, yet its effects are so far reaching that whole volumes could be written on its accomplishments alone. Other glaciers have covered New England in geological periods previous to the last ice age, but how many no one knows. Since the remnants of the former glaciers have been destroyed or buried during the last glacial period, our inter- est is centred especially upon that one whose work we see about us. How great its work has been, few realize. It has not only made na- ture and all life seem more beautiful, but has had a vital effect on the political, industrial and commercial history of our country and of the world. THE GO-GETTER. (Continued from Page 147.) “Er—ah—, Kipling, sir, Romulus Kipling.” It wouldn’t do to have his father hear of an addition to the racing crew whose name was Sanborn. He might get inquisitive. The day of the great race was at hand. Countless thousands from every state in the nation flocked to the huge stands to witness the gruelling contest of men and motors. The weather was perfect, with a warm sun and practically no wind. The five-mile saucer seemed to throb in the rays of the molten ball high above. Tommy lay on his back in the Sanborn Com- pany’s pit and inhaled the cigarette in his hand with a sense of pure joy and satisfaction. “Gee, but it’s great to be alive,” he mur- mured. One of the pitmen heard him and agreed. Tommy was to drive! The famous Bal d’Or classic and its twenty thousand dollars in gold! He wondered what his father would say to that. He had seen him in the crowd giving Brewer a last word of instruction and good luck, but best of all Miss Pearson was there too. “All out for interpretation meeting,” some- one roared through a megaphone. Tommy crawled out of the pit, his big gog- gles adjusted to hide his identity to any chance acquaintance, and proceeded to the starter’s stand for final instructions. “Understand, boys,—” a self-conscious per- son in a frock coat explained. “Once around behind a pacemaker, and your own time on the last quarter of a mile. Keep close to the in- side of the fence. No one in the middle except to pass another car. Line up.” Ten minutes later Tommy crossed the line abreast of the pacemaker doing close to one hundred miles an hour and followed by a field of eighteen men with one ideal, the winning of the race. The eyes of the multitude were fixed on in- dividual favorites, while Tommy led, well out in front of four former winners and the rest, men who were experienced in racing. Predictions of unexcelled exhibitions of speed were fulfilled, but the moment the cars roared across the starting line it was some unknown, by name Romulus Kipling, who continued to set the pace, driving a Comet Special. At the one-hundred-and-fifty-mile post the unknown stopped to change a tire and inciden- tally to replenish gas and oil, stop watches tim- ing twenty-eight seconds from stop to start. At three hundred miles the unknown was five minutes ahead of the previous record, ac- cording to bulletins, and again he electrified the crowd by his startling stop and getaway. Barring accident it was now the unknown’s race. His motor was performing beautifully and always seemed to respond to that extra bit of speed when needed. “Huh, some race, even if it is my own car,” the elder Sanborn confided to his secretary, striving to be heard above the clamor of the stands. “A ninety-four-mile average for three hundred and fifty miles is some speed.” At the four-hundred-mile post a groan of disappointment arose from the stands. The Comet swerved and struck a car that had at- tempted to pass it. A loud report rent the suspended atmosphere, and Tommy’s right for- ward wheel collasped. Tommy leaped out as the car slithered to a halt, frantically motioning to his pitmen. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 159 An official with a megaphone bawled out: “Comet; ten minutes for repairs.” Nine and a half minutes later the Comet rolled away from the spot of its recent accident amid the applause of the onlookers. It fell into a position behind the car which had so nearly caused its recent disaster, passed it on lap according to rules and then, as Tommy “stepped on it,” the big car passed its pre- decessor, open to its fullest extent. Slowly gaining on the straight stretches Tommy crept by his opponent. He passed him and was once more headed for victory! All he had to do now was to hold that posi- tion and the race was his. One more stop at the four-hundred-and-twenty-five-mile post and he was off for the last time. Seventy-five miles more, that was all. Tommy prayed to his motor as though it were an idol. At his side a big Frontenae roared slowly abreast in an effort to take the lead. But it could not; Tommy held the inside of the curves and there he gained. His speedometer registered one hundred and two miles an hour. Was it possible, he thought, that his motor could stand the strain of such a contest? Sweat beads formed on his forehead and ran down into his eyes. His head throbbed and ached from the noise of his exhaust and the rush of wind. He felt queer pulsatings in all his limbs, and most of all he wanted to go to sleep. That was queer, he thought. Imagine anyone going to sleep at such a time as this. He glanced at the car at his side. Why, it was going backward! Was the other driver a fool to attempt—! No, it wasn’t going back- ward, either, it wasn’t even at his side! It was in front of him; the driver was holding up a golden bowl filled with gold pieces; the Bal d’Or and the twenty thousand dollars! Tommy swept his hand before his eyes and the spectacle he has seemed to see went away and he was once more himself. He looked back and the Frontenae was far behind. He wondered how many more laps he had to finish after this one. Well, it didn’t matter, he would just go and go until he finished. He passed the starting post. A mighty roar went up from the stands and the name of Romulus Kipling echoed from lip to lip. He heard that even above the roar of his motor. Who was Romulus Kipling? It was himself! He, Tommy Sanborn. He had won the coveted Bal d’Or classic. No sooner had he stopped than fie was surrounded by his pitmen. “Don’t talk,” he cried. “Get my own car out on the track, and make it quick.” Tommy bounded away to the starter’s stand. Leaping the railing he grasped the golden bowl and was off. But an officious gentleman, not to be robbed of the pleasure of addressing a long and well prepared speech, stopped him. “Hey, wait a minute,” he cried. “Can’t stop, got to get married.” “Well, I’ll be---” The official was too over- awed to finish. Tommy sprang for his own car. It gave a lurch as he let in the clutch and dashed for the stands. Harshly applied brakes stopped it be- low where his father and Miss Pearson stood. He lifted his goggles and smiled. “Tommy!” they both gasped. “Sure, me and twenty thousand. Hop in, Jannie, five hundred miles in five hours and seventeen and a half minutes isn’t bad, but, I’ve got to make it better, hurry up,” he fin- ished. He reached over the rail, swooped her up in his arms and seated her beside him, cry- ing out: “See you later, Dad.” That evening the senior member of Sanborn and Son, manufacturers of automobiles, iorded it over his colleagues as they smoked, deep in the leather chairs of the exclusive club of which he was a member. “Some boy, mine.” He gazed around at the interested group. “Why, think of it,” he went on. “Won the biggest race of the season, stole my private secretary, God bless her, got jailed for speed- ing, and married in jail. What do you think of that? Chip off the ol’ block, I’ll tell you. Huh, some boy, reg’lar go-getter.” 160 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Lowell, 52 2-3; Somerville, 24 1-3 Summary:— Thirty-five-yard dash, first heat: Won by Sheehan, Lowell; second, Mahoney, Somerville.

A Junior staff will take entire charge of the edition and all ma- terial used will be taken from the Junior Class. This is a fine opportunity for the class of 1924 to show the standard it will measure up to as a Senior class. Juniors, pass your contributions in to Kenneth Campbell, editor-in-chief for the May issue. The last issue of the Radiator for 1923, for the Senior staff, has been published. The Year Book, which will appear in June, is now en- grossing the attention of the regular staff and is fully worthy of the whole-hearted support of the student body. We absolutely need a thou- sand subscriptions to give you the book you want. Will you support us and be glad or fail us and be sorry? The article in this issue by W. Allen Newton is the result of our college issue. With true loyalty to both his high school and his college, he sent the article outlining the merits of his college. We are very pleased to publish it. • We call special attention of our readers to the article on the importance of the cultural side of the commercial courses, and the advan- tage of broadening them along the many lines which are open to them. The article is contributed by Mrs. Topliff and is additional evidence of her willingness to be helpful. She surely has the good of every pupil at heart. We congratulate ourselves on having such a member of the faculty. Poetry by high school students is usually disappointing. Occasionally one with some merit appears, but such appearances are rare. In one Senior division, however, flourish a num- ber of embryo poets. An English lesson con- sisted of writing an original sonnet. The best of the results are published in this issue. It almost seems that our alumni are more loyal to the Radiator than the undergraduates. This year in looking over past issues, it seems that over half the material published has been contributed by alumni. This may be due to the fact that graduates appreciate the worth and value of a publication like the Radiator more than undergraduates. The latest instance of this interest is the contribution by Harry Smith, S. H. S. ’21, business manager of the Radiator in 1920, of the article on his experi- ences as assistant superintendent of a banana plantation in Costa Rica. This contribution is loyalty tangibly expressed. TO THE flit Tear BooK B OR BE SORRY ! 172 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR An Open Letter to Business Girls Dear girls: Others knew, but it was quite by chance that I learned about it: The College of Secretarial Science. It seems odd now to think that I never had heard even the name, but then, there are so many things to know! It came about like this: I met one day a friend who I knew had been teaching in Brookline. After the usual exchange of greeting, I said, “ You are still in Brookline?” “No,” was the answer, “I am in the College of Secretarial Science.” “And that is?” I queried. “A business college for girls, under the juris- diction of Boston University, particularly for those girls who wish to combine academic studies with business training,” she answered. That was the beginning. The connection was made by the mother of one of my students in the present Senior class. “I wish I had planned to send Mary to college,” she said to me one morning. “Yes,” I answered, “Mary would have enjoyed it and college would have enriched her life greatly.” “Is there anything I can do? We would gladly sacrifice much to give Mary an education.” So beautifully and unselfishly did this mother speak. Instantly there flashed into my mind the College of Secretarial Science. So we went to Boston, to 27 Garrison street, Mary and I, and met by appointment, Dean T. Lawrence Davis, and most courteous and most interested did we find him. He told us how the college hap- pened to be founded. I use his words as nearly as I can remember them. “I was connected with the College of Busi- ness Administration in Boston University,” said the Dean, “and it seemed to me that the girls in a college given over to men so largely did not have a fair chance. Then, too, I realized that oftentimes many girls, having elected business courses through all the years of the high school, found in their Senior year a need of or a desire for college work. What could be done? All colleges were barred to them because they had not taken the regular preparatory courses. And then and there I conceived the idea of a girls’ business college, which should give some training in college work, as well as business instruction. By college work I mean of course cultural studies pure and simple. I talked the matter over with the trustees, but although interested they said there was no money for the founding of such an institution, but I was able to arose the interest of sixty-four bankers who said they would finance the undertaking, and it was done. I planned for one hundred and seventy-five girls the first year and we had three hundred and twenty-five. Today we have seven hundred and twenty-five, and the num- ber of the entering class has to be limited. We bought the old building of the College of Phar- macy the first year. Now we own the next apartment house, which we have made into a clubhouse, and the whole block beyond, which is a dormitory for those wishing to live at the college. He paused and I said: “Which only proves— doesn’t it?—that the man of vision is the prac- tical man.” The Dean smiled and we went on our way. And Mary is now registered in the college. “W’ho is Mary?” some one of you may be ask- ing. “Mary” is Mary Clement of the present Senior class. And she is not alone in her wish for further education. Priscilla Leach and Doris Cross, in the same commercial division, are going to the college. Both girls, in their deci- sion, are heartily supported and encouraged by their parents. And because the record of all three girls is so high, Dean Davis will admit them without examination. This is not an advertisement for the College of Secretarial Science. The Dean is the last person who would want that. Other schools have made their appeal, for instance, Vivian Crafts has decided to go to Miss Wheelock's School in The Riverway, and only the other day Grace Chandler, business girl though she is, has settled that she must study art. But per- haps the crowning glory rests with Bessie Talelewsky, who knowing that she must work in the daytime in some business office, has al- ready communicated with the director of Even- ing Schools in Boston to arrange for the study of purely academic subjects. Now what does all this mean? Simply, that girls taking business courses are realizing that business does not necessarily shut them off from all else; all the beauty and the magic in the world. Because a girl is studying to be an expert saleswoman is it any hindrance to her to know and appreciate a great opera ? Because a girl hopes to be a trained accountant, should (Continued on Page 174) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17:1 The Power of the Press Bv Richard Joseph Walsh, 1923 ON ami, I am dying. You know it, I have guessed it. I have much to say to you before I die.” Rene L’Ambert, soldier of the Legion, was dying, dying thou- sands of miles from home in the midst of the drear Algerian desert. A short two miles distant lay a town,— what was left of one, and the French outpost,— what was left of that, too. All around, dark heaps of what might have been sand spotted the white of the desert, what might have been sand, but which had been,—men. Here, alone under the threatening black sky, were two men with the dead. And Rene was dying, Rem the most effi- cient and promising young officer in the regi- ment. Rem the ambitious, who was marked for great things. With him was Maurice Shane, taciturn Maurice, whose brown eyes were cold and discouraged, Maurice, who was not effi- cient, not promising, who never said “Vive la France” or “When shall I see England again,” or “Oh, for the States once more” as the others did, Maurice, who always went more than half way to meet death and escaped with another palm on his Croix de Guerre, grudgingly ac- cepted. There had been a disastrous battle in which Rene had been cut down and left for dead. He had lain amid the corpses all through the waning afternoon and the evening, expecting death and worse at the hands of the maraud- ing desert hordes, when Maurice Shane ma- terialized out of the gloom with a revolver in one hand and a canteen in the other. “Why did you come?” asked Rene, trying to discern the other’s face through the gloom. “Why have you come out here to certain death at the hands of our recent acquaintances, the Arabs? Surely not to bring water to a man you do not like . . .” “Monsieur,” said Maurice, slowly, “I recog- nize a brave man. Would that I might recall what—” “You refer to your calling me a toy soldier?” broke in the other. “Well, you were justified. I realize that I must have seemed petty and ar- tificial to a man of your calibre. But I must justify myself before I die, not to the man who accused me, but to the brother who staked his life on giving me a chance for mine. I shall tell you what no one has heard till—” he choked. Maurice pressed his hand. “But if it is pain- ful —” “No! No! I must tell you. It was five years ago. I was fresh from the military school, appointed treasurer of my regiment’s funds. I was in love, ah, you cannot know what it is like.” (Maurice smiled sadly into the dark- ness.) “And then, oh, it is a hackeyed story, her brother ran short in his accounts—he had lost on the horses. I, like a young fool, gave him all my money and some of the regimental funds till he could replace the money. He was weak, he gambled again and lost. Then my ac- counts were discovered short. It would have been hushed up in the regiment, but somehow ‘Le Vautour Noir’, that yellowest of yellow, dreg skimming Parisian papers, found out. Jean Legar,—you have heard of him, ‘Black’ Jean the duellist? He had special charge of the story, and, well, you know what they can make out of anything! It was a nightmare! I was cashiered. People sneered at me! But I kept her name out of it, somehow. I told Legar that, duellist as he was, I would tear him to pieces if he so much as made one allusion— He didn’t; I thought I had terrified him into silence. I escaped from France and came here. You know the rest. I’ve been working and slaving for promotion so I might be worthy and able to support her, so she might end her troubles here with me, so we might start again. But now, now ... it is all over. Legar man- aged to trace me to the Legion. He figured he was safe, the devil! so he resurrected the story, brought her name into it, sparing no abomin- able lies and, curse him,”—weak as he was he almost cracked Shane’s hand in the strength of his emotion—“he finally killed her!” “Killed her!” “Yes. I knew nothing of what was going on. I dared not write her for fear they’d trace me. I was in the desert, her letters could not reach me. She was alone, alone, with that wolf tor- turing her under the name of ‘news.’ She went insane, she, the gentlest creature on earth, tried to kill him. More ‘news’ for him! Then she tried to kill herself,—and succeeded. And I am dying and she goes unavenged!” (Continued on Page 185) 174 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Deserted Schoolhouse By Olive Robie, 1923 ENDING on the top of a hill is an old deserted schoolhouse. It is a low one-storied building, originally a bright red, but now faded and weather-beaten. Signs of desola- tion are everywhere. The grass has grown up high, almost completely hiding the path which leads up to the stone doorstep; only a few windows have panes of glass in them, and the roof is full of holes. The old well at the side of the house is moss-covered and the bucket has long since disappeared. Behind the school stretches a pine grove. How often the children, freed for a brief hour at noon, raided the peaceful place to eat their delicious lunch. I love to go there on a spring morning when everything about it is fresh and young and when the robins are singing cheerily in the beautiful apple orchard across the road. Then I go back many years and imagine myself again among a group of barefoot lads and lassies, wending their happy way up the hill to the wide door and through to the old pine desks. Inside the schoolhouse, to come back to the present, the abandonment shows still more plainly. The floor is warped with the beating storms and covered with a many years’ gather- ing of dust. The blackboards are faded and gray. The master’s desk still stands there in front as if it would bring back the echoes of lisping baby tongues and the brave words of the “oldest boy.” In the centre of the room, surrounded by the desks, stands the old stove. It is rusted now, but I can remember when it was the pride of the school to keep its surface black and shining. But the real deserted look can be seen more easily when on a cold gray winter’s afternoon the newly fallen snow covers everything. The red sun setting is reflected in the broken panes of the windows. The bright light seems, for a moment, to give some life to the old building, but after the sun goes down, all grows dreary and silent again; even the noisy crows are still, and after a while the moon comes out and shines on it and gives it all a ghostly appearance. As the night grows colder it seems to but accent- uate the solitude of the deserted schoolhouse. AN OPEN LETTER TO BUSINESS GIRLS (Continued from Page 172) she be deprived of the pleasure of enjoying a beautiful painting by a master? Because sten- ography and typewriting have been her chosen electives, cannot every girl know why the cen- turies have given to Shakespeare such homage, and find on her own account, inspiration in his poetry? Can she not, if she will, become ac- quainted with nature as science reveals that land of magic and mystery? Should we have ears and hear not: eyes and see not? It was on a winter evening not long ago that Miss Follansbee said to me: “Aren’t the stars wonderful tonight? Yesterday morning I watched for some time the conjunction of the moon with Venus.” And at another time: “Yes, some of my happiest hours have been spent with birds and butterflies and stars.” And I thought: “Busy woman that she is, as head of the stenography work in the school, she still has time for study of other and far different subjects than the one she has chosen for her life work.” So it all comes to this, doesn’t it, girls? You are to be business women that you may be suc- cessful helpers in the world’s work. And the more you enrich your minds: the more you cul- tivate the power of thought: the more you learn to love what is fine and true and noble and apply this to the day’s task, the greater will be your success. “0 world, as God has made it!

Smith, 1921 REDDY waited fifteen minutes be- fore he saw his friend Tommy come slowly down the stairs and still more slowly put on his coat and take his cap in his hand. “Say, what’s the trouble, Tom?” he inquired. “I don’t want to go. What’s Betty want to have a party for anyhow? I hate girls and their old tea parties.” Freddy stared at his friend in amazement. “Well, you’ve accepted the invitation, so you’ve got to come. Any way,” he added, by way of consolation, “they always have ice cream and you like that.” Tommy only sighed. He sighed again as they left the house and to Freddy’s inquiry as to what he had brought for a birthday present for Betty, he looked disdainfully at the white package in his hand and said: T dunno. Mother bought it. Girls are such a nuisance. All they do is giggle. I like quiet girls—only there aren’t any.” Freddy did not make a further attempt at conversation, and they walked the rest of the way in silence. When they reached Betty’s house, they found that many of the boys and girls of the neigh- borhood were already there. They were greeted by Betty, who introduced them to a graceful, flaxen haired creature, called Gladys, a guest from a neighboring town. Tommy experienced a strange thrill as the blue-eyed stranger smiled graciously at him. He smiled back and was try- ing to think of something appropriate to say to her, when the music began and Freddy asked her for the first dance. Tommy watched them glide away together. For the first time in his life he wished that he were a better dancer. It all looked easy enough and after a few dances inexperienced Tommy decided to try it. He crossed the room and approached Gladys, but suddenly he felt confused and retraced his steps, his shoes squeaking embarrassingly. Even though he dared not look at her, he felt that Gladys was watching him and smiling. After three more dances, Tommy made an- other attempt. He reached Gladys just as Freddy came up and claimed the dance. Half angry and half relieved, Tommy decided to take the place that Gladys had vacated until Freddy’s dance was over, but as he was watch- ing the dancers instead of noticing what he was doing, by mistake he sat down on the floor. Freddy, who was passing with his partner just then, kindly assisted him to his feet, while Gladys looked on with an amused twinkle in her eyes. Before the fox trot was over, he saw Gladys excuse herself to Freddy and leave the room. He did not see, however, that she went into the dining room and changed the glass at his place for one which she took from the side- board. Then, after a word with the maid, she returned to the dancers. A few minutes later, when the refreshments were announced, they all went into the dining room, and Tommy found that his place at the table was directly opposite Gladys. As he sat down a prolonged “Me-oo-owooww” was heard and Tommy jumped up quickly, fearing that he had sat down on Betty’s pet cat. There was nothing in the chair, however, but a modest looking cushion, and he resumed his seat, when again a “Me-ow-oow” filled the room. A giggle went around the room, but Tommy, although greatly disturbed and very red, remained seated. To cover his confusion, he took a drink of water and was more surprised and annoyed when the giggle became a laugh. He did not know that it was a trick glass, and that as he was drinking, the water was slowly dripping from small holes in the side of the glass onto his clean white shirt front. Hastily, he put down the glass, and raised his dark eyes to the blue ones opposite. They assumed an inno- cent expression, but Tommy knew that she had been laughing at him again. Freddy, really pitying his friend’s embar- rassment, told a funny story and so for a few minutes drew the attention to himself, but when the maid had served the ice cream, all eyes were again turned to Tommy. When she passed the cookies, he innocently took the one nearest to him. Three times he tried to bite it, but his teeth made no impression. He was at last forced to lay it aside. Tommy felt sorry, for (Continued on Page 184) 176 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Word About U. V. M. By W. Allen Newton, S. H. S. ’21, University of Vermont ’25 short time ago I read two articles in the February number of the Ra- diator, written by members of mv class in Somerville High School, concerning Tufts and M. I. T. and I thought that I should like to say a word about my college, the University of Ver- mont. The university is located in Burlington, a beautiful city of about twenty-live thousand population, and one of the finest residential centres of New England. The city is built on a hillside sloping down to the shores of Lake Champlain. The buildings of the university occupy a site upon the summit of the hill, over- looking the city. This hilltop commands a western view of a large part of the Champlain valley and the Adirondack Mountains, and an eastern view of Mt. Mansfield and Camel’s Hump, highest and third highest, respectively, of the peaks of the Green Mountains. The Ver- mont campus is considered one of the most beautiful in the United States. Burlington is well fitted to be the home of a university, not only because of the natural beauty of its location, the attractiveness of the city itself and the healthfulness of its sur- roundings, but because of the cultural advan- tages of a small city while avoiding the dan- gers and abstractions of the larger centres. The university is convenient of access from all points. History and traditions are not lacking at the University of Vermont as the college was founded in 1791 by Ira Allen. General Lafay- ette and other great men also figure in the his- tory of the university. I will not stop to mention the various tra- ditions and to speak of the record of the uni- versity in the several wars of our country, but will try to convey an idea of our student life and activities. We have dramatic, debating and musical clubs, several student publications, fraternities, sororities and many forms of ath- letics. The social life of the university is carried on by the fraternities and clubs. Many im- portant relationships and traditions have de- veloped under this system. Several large na- tional fraternities and sororities have chap- ters here and many good locals have been es- tablished. (Some of the fraternity houses are very fine colonial structures and one is built completely of marble.) The Vermont spirit is clearly manifested in the hearty “hello” with which all students greet one another on meeting. The university goes in for nearly every form of athletics, except boxing, wrestling, fencing ar.d crew, and recently a fencing club has been organized. Our teams have made good records, and we hold the football championship of Northern New England for 1922. Vermont baseball teams have always attracted notice in the baseball world. This spring our baseball schedule includes Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Williams, Navy, Tufts and others, making a total of thirty-one games. The University R. 0. T. C. battalion is ranked as a “distinguished” unit by Federal authorities. The regular army officers in charge of the unit include a colonel, two majors, two captains, and several non-commissioned officers. Graduates, who have taken the advance course in military science, may receive commissions as second lieutenants in the army or marine corps. Four colleges comprise the University of Vermont. They are the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Medicine, the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture. The curricula of the College of Arts and Sciences include both cultural and vocational subjects. The classical curriculum leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The literary-sci- entific curriculum leads to the degree of Bach- elor of Philosophy. The curriculum in general science leads to the degree of Bachelor of Sci- ence. The chemistry curriculum leads to the degree of B. S. in Chemistry. The curriculum in education leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. The College of Medicine is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the United States and stands high among such institutions. The College of Engineering has several cur- ricula, offering courses in civil, mechanical and electrical engineering. The College of Agriculture offers several cur- ricula in agriculture and also a course in home economics. While the University of Vermont is a state university there are many students from other states and from several foreign countries. There are more students from Massachusetts than from any other state outside Vermont. The total enrollment of the university is slightly over one thousand. Graduates of Som- erville High School may enter the university on certificate. CHAPEL OF UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT 178 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Banana By Harry Stanley Smith, S. H. S., 1921, Harvard. 182.� The banana is one of the most important of the tropical fruits. Its food value is surprising. Dr. Robert Hutchison, in his admirable work, “Food and the Principles of Dietetics,” says: “That only is to be adjudged a ‘good’ food which contains an ample proportion of nutri- tive constituents, which is easily digested and absorbed, and which can be obtained at a rea- sonable cost.” Mr. Eustace Miles adds to this definition that, “A good food must be as free as possible from stimulants and irritants; and, moreover, a good food should for purposes of modern life, when everything tends towards over-acidity and clogging, have cer- tain cleansing properties, or at least, should have cleansing foods added to it—among the cleansing foods may be classed many of the fresh fruits, salads and green vegetables.” It would be well nigh impossible to formulate a more appropriate description of the claims of the banana to an important share in our diet, whether it be eaten as a fresh fruit, cooked, as banana flour or in a form similar to dried figs. I could continue to praise the banana by citing the statements of agriculturists, doctors, explorers, buccaneers and even statesmen; but if we accept the statements of the two authori- ties above mentioned, we shall have an ample conception of the food value of the banana. In this cursory description of banana culti- vation, I shall attempt to avoid all technical terms and statistics which are both boresome and unintelligible to one not familiar with the conditions of tropical agriculture. This short treatment of the subject will be but a picture of what a tourist not interested in scientific agriculture would see in the swamp land of Central America. The planta- tion or “finca” selected for description is one of many of its kind on the eastern coast of Costa Rica, Central America. These plantations extend from the swamps along the coast in- land to the foothills of the Cordillera Moun- tains, which stretch north and south, forming between their ranges high plateaus on which are situated the old Spanish city San Jose and the old Indian pueblo Cartago. If you will look upon your maps you will find that Costa Rica lies upon latitude 10 north. Thus it is in the belt of the Doldrums—the nightmare of the old Spanish galleons—the still and quiet doldrums where winds are weak, un- certain and changeable. This lack of wind makes it what it is—excellent banana land. For banana trees have roots which extend but a few inches below the surface, and as the fruit is exceedingly heavy and swinging high up from its weak roots, hardly covered by the soil, it is an easy victim for the strong breezes. A gust of wind blowing strongly for a few min- utes across the banana land will destroy mil- lions of dollars worth of bananas. (I might add incidentally that this in part explains the sud- den rise in the prices of bananas. Such a rise in price one can usually attribute to a “wind- blow” somewhere on the many plantations bordering on the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.) Not only are the Doldrums noted for their gentle zephyrs, but also for their heavy rain- fall. On the eastern coast of Costa Rica it is not unusual to have two or three inches of rain a day, and a fall of six inches is not surprising. Hardly a day passes that does not bring a down- pour during its twenty-four hours. The soil is heavy and black, and exceedingly rich, even in spots for years under cultivation. The underbrush or “bush” decaying, alter- nately drenched and scorched, forms a deposit of soil rich and deep. The tropical rivers over- flow very often, depositing yearly between four and six inches of alluvium. This deposit has for a sub-soil deep-lying gravelly strata. The labor on the plantations is done by the natives and Jamaicans. These latter have been attracted to the Central American plantations because of the great demand for swamp work- ers. The natives, Spanish and Indians, are not willing, for the most part, to work in the dis- agreeable swamps. These latter people serve as axemen and “vaqueros,” although many are fruit cutters and mule team men. Now then if we have the picture of a dense tropical jungle on North latitude 10 degrees, where the rainfall is heavy and where the ther- mometer ranges between 70 degrees and 125 degrees, where hot, damp gentle zephyrs move listlessly, where Jamaicans and Spaniards, un- der the supervision of overseers (mandadores), are occupied in planting, pruning and shipping the fruit, we have sufficient local atmosphere to give life and color to the following stages of cultivation. (We can well do without a descrip- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 179 tion of poisonous snakes, insects and vegeta- tion as well as prevalent tropical maladies.) Let us now proceed to treat in logical order a few of the many tasks which confront the banana cultivators:— First, the land is purchased from the local government. Contracts for the use of railroads are drawn up. Then engineers survey and map the land. These preliminaries over, now comes the clearing of the “bush.” The laborers do this with that knife so peculiar to the tropics —the machete. This cruelly sharp knife in the hands of a tropical laborer is a tool which can well be compared to the scythe in the hands of a Yankee farmer. At the same time as the clearing of the land, other gangs of laborers dig ditches which drain the sections. These ditches require constant attention because of the great volume of water which flows through them. The huge trees, measuring six to twenty feet in diameter, are left standing until after the bananas are planted. The planting of the bananas is the next op- eration of the laborers. The tracts of land are laid out in cross sections forming squares twelve feet on a side. (The sizes of these squares differ according to the experience of the cultivator and the location of the land.) At the intersections of the cross-lines the planters drive in pegs of about five feet in length. These pegs, cut from a species of palm tree, are very hard and do not decay rapidly, and for this reason they are used to mark the points where a banana tree is to be planted. The root (also called “mat,” “bulb” and “bit”) of the banana serves to propagate the trees. From these “mats” or “bits” the banana trees grow and mature between ten and thir- teen months. After these “bits” have been placed, not more than two inches under ground at the places staked out, the axemen go through and cut down the great sentinels of the tropical jungles, huge trees supporting tons of para- sites of all descriptions. These fall with a deaf- ening roar upon the ground already planted. This tangled heap of vines and branches, vary- ing from four to twelve feet high, remains lying over the planted bananas. Here the mar- vels of tropical nature aid the banana cultiva- tor. All this debris decays and rots in less than a half year, and through its remains spring up the young bananas, which in their early life may be said to resemble young green corn (but a far more happy and fine comparison may be drawn). Through this land once a tangled jungle now begins the laying of tramways and railroad spurs, upon which in a year’s time heavy full grown fruit will be on its way to the States and to England. Rocks and heavy gravel serve as the roadbed for the light-weight rails. A very hard wood found in abundance in the jungles proves excellent for ties. Soon a network of tracks extends through the heaps of fallen timber and bush. Let us now allow a few moments to the care of the young plants. Gangs of laborers armed with “machetes” keep the fast growing vegeta- tion from stifling the banana tree during its early life. After the first few months the plants require little attention except the prun- ing and cutting out of “suckers” (young trees growing from the main tree). This thinning out enables the single tree to reap all the nour- ishment from the soil. After a period of perhaps eleven months, the trees mature and the fruit is ready for cutting and shipment. Let us stop a moment and see what a full- grown banana tree looks like in order that we may better understand the various stages of the fruit cutting. The banana tree averages from twelve to twenty feet in height, although some varieties attain a huge size while other species are dwarfed. The trunk of the tree ranges from eight inches to twenty inches in diameter. It consists of a cylinder composed of concentric layers, each of which terminates in a leaf. These layers, forming one over the other, dry up successively and form a sort of dry husk about the trunk, whose interior is very moist and of a honeycomb formation. The most striking part of the banana tree is its gigantic leaf whose immense surface offers great resistance to the wind. The average banana tree boasts of about twelve or more leaves, ranging from six to ten feet in length, and in places nearly a yard wide. Thus it is seen that the lack of strong breezes is the most essential requisite of good banana land. But now to the actual operation of cutting the fruit and shipping it to the fast refrigerat- ing ships which race to temperate ports with their valuable cargo. Two men work together on sections allotted to them, and are paid a sum agreed upon for every bunch of first class fruit placed along the tramlines. When a bunch is to be cut the machete man partly cuts through the trunk five or six feet from the ground and the bunch, (Continued on Page 186) 180 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ® VIO' % ■' a EXCHANGE NOTES AS WE SEE OTHERS By Grace Figved The Red and Black, Rogers High, Newport, Rhode Island.—A well balanced little magazine. “The Girl Graduate in Business” was an inter- esting feature.

Why not add a few cuts ? They are often a great improvement. We hope to read some comments on a few exchanges next time. Stoneham High “Authentic.”—Four pages of finely printed athletic matter! The best yet! We liked the variety of material in your liter- ary department for March, too; an essay, an entertaining narrative letter, stories and a poem. We thought, however, that it lost some of its dignity when on the last column we dis- covered jokes associated with it! Somewhat jarring! You seem to have plenty of material from which to select. Come again! The Bulletin.—You have an excellent maga- zine. We liked especially the originality of your school notes department, but found your ex- change notes somewhat monotonous in their ever repeated terseness. The Papoose, Globe, Arizona.—Your jokes are good and so is your exchange department. You lack a literary and “school notes” depart- ment. Or is that only temporary? Almost in- variably, the most interesting if not the most important parts of any school magazine! The Gleaner.—We noted the great number of your exchanges with interest. You are fortu- nate indeed to receive so many comments on your own magazine. But why do you comment on only four? It doesn’t seem quite fair! The Grotonian, Groton, Mass.—Isn’t it stretching the point of “courtesy” to print al- most an entire page of names of exchanges in “acknowledgment,” only? It seems to us that little is gained and much space that might be used to greater advantage is lost. So many of our best exchanges do the same, too! Your cover design is delightfully pleasing in its sim- plicity of color and design. The Taconic.—An interesting little maga- zine! But we are surprised that in publishing it only four times a year you have not more material at your disposal in order to devoiop each department to better advantage. The Chandelier, South Boston High School.— Your departmental cuts are attractive and your cartoons are great! We couldn’t find the fine exchange department that we somehow ex- pected though! Come again! A comment from one of our Seniors fol- lows :— St. Joseph’s Prep. Chronicle.—Your paper is a revelation of preparatory school ability. The article and poems show an originality and maturity that would not discredit a college paper. Your contributors,—how do you get them?—are so many and versatile for students of preparatory school age that every one of the numerous pages holds fresh interest. The editorials are sincere and convincing. Your section of our exchanges always acts as a pleasant spur to betterment. May you return often!

By 1913 groups of poets were forming new schools and begin- ning new movements. A group of poems illus- trating the Imagist point of view was published in this year, while a little later, Amy Lowell, during a visit in England, drew up an Imagist creed. The purposes of this faith are sum- marized in six articles, of which the fourth ex- plains the name: 4, “To present an image. We are not a school of painters but we believe ihat poetry should render particulars exactly and not deal in vague generalities, however mag- nificent and sonorous.” The unconventional form of free verse is not entirely used by the Imagists, but Amy Lowell is also a prominent exponent of this. Amy Lowell was born in Brookline, Massa- chusetts, February 9, 1874. James Russell Lowell was her grandfather’s cousin, and Presi- dent Lowell of Harvard University is her brother. Her poem “Patterns” reveals her childhood familiarity with nature. At the close of her school career she traveled abroad, but returned in 1902 to devote herself for eight years to the technical side of poetry. A few of the results of this study are: “Solitaire,” “Ma- donna of the Evening Flowers,” “Venus Tran- siens,” “The Cremona Violin.” Edwin Arlington Robinson was born Decem- ber 22, 1869, at Headtide, Maine. He graduated from Harvard and tried several occupations in New York before he wrote “Captain Craig,” which brought him the interest of President Roosevelt. Through him Mr. Robinson obtained a position in the New York Custom House. His poems reveal an exact technique and his char- acter sketches class him with the best of the present-day poets. “Miniver Cheevy,” “Rich- ard Corey,” “The Master,” an interpretation of Lincoln; “Lancelot,” a long poem. Robert Frost is purely a New England poet. At the age of ten he came East from his birth- place, San Francisco. His high school years were spent in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Then he spent a few months at Dartmouth College, but he was unable to concentrate on studying and became a bobbin boy in one of the Law- rence mills. At twenty-two he entered Harvard College, gave it up and spent his time teaching school, making shoes, and editing a weekly paper. In 1900 he became a farmer at Derry, New Hampshire, and still later took his family to England, where he entered the literary life. Here the worth of his poems was appreciated. They are written almost entirely about New Hampshire: “Mending Wall,” “Birches,” “Good Hours,” “The Tuft of Flowers.” Nicholas Vachel Lindsay was born and now lives in Springfield, Massachusetts. He attended Hiram College, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the New York School of Art. In 1910 he began a series of tramps through Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas as a combination missionary and minstrel, preaching “the gos- pel of beauty” and reciting his poems, “The Congo,” a study of the negro race; “The Chinese Nightingale,” written in 1917; “Simon Legree,” “Niagara.” Carl Sandburg was born at Galesburg, Illi- nois, January 6, 1878. Before entering Lombard College, in his native state, he did a great many- varied things. At thirteen he drove a milk wagon, and in rapid succession he was a porter in a barber shop, a scene shifter in a cheap thea- tre, a truck handler in a brickyard, a turner ap- prentice in a pottery, a harvest hand in a Kan- sas wheat field, and finally a soldier in the Span- ish War. After he left college he turned to newspaper work and poetry, but he was not recognized in the literary world until he was thirty-six years old. His poems deal with in- dustrial life, “Smoke and Steel,” “Fog,” “Noc- turne in a Deserted Brickyard” and “Chicago Poems.” Hilda Conkling, born August 8, 1910, is the daughter of Grace Hazard Conkling, a profes- sor of Smith College and also a well known poet. Her birthplace was Catskill-on-the Hudson, New York. The rest of her life has been spent at Northampton, Massachusetts. “Poems by a Little Girl” was written when she was nine years old.

The Junior Night of class of ’24 will be held May 25, 1923, in High School Hall. Two one-act plays will be given with musical numbers be- tween. Shepard’s Colonial Orchestra will play for dancing after the entertainment. By the courtesy of Mr. Sturtevant the Players’ Club may go to the Copley Theatre every Tuesday. Velma Moses, a Junior, has part in the play given by the Young People’s Union. Delancey Cleveland played, April 4, at the State conference on clothing, held by the State Federation of Women’s Clubs. Mr. Cleveland played one of his own selections, “Clothes.” In this column last month appeared an ex- hortation to Sophomores to wake up and show they were alive as a class. Since that time 1925 has showed itself to be a veritable volcano of spirit. Over $150 has been collected in class dues and a successful dance has been run. Not only in social and financial matters has 1925 awakened, but also a decided improvement in studies. The class has voted to have its picture in the Year Book and in every way is becoming a well-established unit at the High School. Continue the good work and make as large a name for ourselves as the phenomenal collec- tion of dues indicates. An assembly was held on a Wednesday morn- ing in March for the Junior and Senior classes. This assembly was by invitation of the Players’ Club, who introduced Mr. Sturtevant, assistant manager of the Copley Players, now playing at the Copley Theatre, Boston. Mr. Sturtevant spoke most interestingly on the difference be- tween the “repertory” and “stock” companies, and also spoke of how to appreciate worth- while plays, which the Jewett Players are giv- ing with such great success. Because of the interest on behalf of Mr. Sturtevant, parties of fifty have been permitted to attend performances on Tuesday afternoon of each week for the small sum of ten cents—a chance which one seldom obtains. Thus far two parties have partaken of this treat and enjoyed “Disraeli,” which is now playing, im- mensely. A one-act play in manuscript form is now being rehearsed for Junior Night. This play, written by John Mason Brown, of the “Forty- seven Workshop,” has been presented only at Harvard College and has not yet been printed. There is a good time coming, Juniors! Miss Harriet M. Bell has been personally invited by Professor Baker to attend the re- hearsals of the “Forty-seven Workshop” of Harvard College. (Continued on Page 181) 184 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SWEET SIXTEEN (Continued from Page 175) he liked cookies, but when Gladys offered him another he dared not take it, even although he saw the others eating them. The ice cream was good and fortunately he did not know that the one wooden cookie had been planned especially for him. He felt very glad indeed when the dancing began again and he found himself standing beside Gladys. He saw Freddy ap- proaching them, but for once in his life he was too quick for his friend. He bashfully asked Gladys for the next dance and they moved away just as Freddy reached them. As I said before, Tommy was not a good dancer, and after a few steps they were obliged to stop and start over again. This time they were more success- ful and Tommy, blissfully unaware that he often trod on his partner’s dainty white kid slippers, enjoyed himself to the utmost. As they passed the door opening onto the piazza, Gladys expressed a desire for a glass of punch. Tommy left her standing in the door- way and went to get it. He filled the glass to the brim and had almost reached the door, when his foot caught in the fringe of the piazza rug and he fell, a large part of the pink lemonade going on Gladys’ white organdie dress. Tommy staggered to his feet. The utter despair and horror with which he looked at her made Gladys feel sorry for him. “Never mind,” she said, “the dance is nearly over and my dress isn’t hurt—it will wash.” “I’m SO-SORRY,” Tommy managed to gasp. “Don’t worry about it,” said Gladys, sooth- ingly, “and to show you that I forgive you. I am going to invite you to my party next month. Will you come?” “You bet I will.” Half an hour later when Freddy and Tommy were walking home together, Freddy said: “Did you have a good time, Tom ?” “Pippin! And I’m going to another next month!” “What! I thought you didn’t like parties! Where are you going?” Tommy did not answer. He was thinking of blue-eyed Gladys and the pink lemonade. WINKS FROM THE WISE (Continued from Page 183) On the sixth period, commencing Friday, April 13, members of the Players’ Club are to present readings and plays in the West Library. On Thursday evening, April 12, the Young People’s Council of Churches presented a three- act comedy, “Come Out of the Kitchen.” Prac- tically all those who took part are members of High School, or graduates of ‘22. All who took part deserve great credit. The play was coached by Miss Bell of the faculty. Those in the cast from the High School were: Norman Dawes, Francis McCall, Allison Grant, Albert Irving, Velma Moses. Those assisting were: Reginald Wentworth, Ralph Ward, Grant Kent, Cleon Hopkins and a number of others. During the course of the evening some beautiful bou- quets of flowers were presented Miss Bell in reward for her untiring work as coach. One afternoon in March a number of girls from the commerce and industry classes visited North’s Packing Company with Miss Fury and Miss MacDuffie. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 185 THE POWER OF THE PRESS . (Continued from Page 173) '‘No,” said Shane harshly, ‘‘she does not go unavenged, nor shall you!” ‘‘What do you mean?” “I have been so blind as to think that I was wronged, that my lot was hard. I railed at fate for not letting me die. Now, I understand—” The dying man kissed his hand. “God has sent you to me.” “I have my doubts,” retorted Shane in a more natural tone, “more likely it’s the devil.” “Maurice,” said Rene, “hold me fast while I am dying,” he spoke more slowly, “while I am dying for—” “For France and for her, dear pal,” sobbed Maurice, his eyes become curiously soft and moist as he clasped the poor tired boy in his arms. “For — France — and — for—her,” breathed poor Rene, and died. A distinguished looking officer of the Legion Etranger, with the ribbon of the Legion of Honor on his breast, sat alone in a busy Parisian cafe. He ate nothing; nothing was on his table but a newspaper clipping, a picture, a dainty let- ter, a rough gauntlet such as a soldier on cam- paign might wear. People looked, and wondered, but said nothing. The newspaper clipping re- ported an amnesty declared by the English government for Irish rebels in exile, one of whom, so ran the article, was reported to have distinguished himself in the French Foreign Legion; the picture was of a sleek, polished,self- satisfied looking man; the letter ran something like this: “You have answered none of my letters, but I am trying your Paris address this last time. Why did you so misjudge me when you fled? I would not have you sacrifice your honor by submission to the conqueror, and I would gladly have shared your exile. If only you had not misunderstood me that last night, how much bitterness might we both have been spared. Come back now; I have always waited for you.” The glove had blood on it. The officer had smiled when he read the letter which a servant had brought in a short time since, his saddened brown eyes had al- most regained the gaiety which one could imagine had dwelt there long ago, then his eyes encountered the glove, and he sighed, then the picture; his eyes became as steel. Hap- piness and death! His head was bent. No one knew that he was praying. A noisy party of men entered. The lone, dinnerless diner looked up, scrutinized their faces, then the picture. He carefully burnt the letter to ashes, then rose, quietly walked over to their table, tapped one on the shoulder, the sleekest, most jovial one. “Monsieur,” said he. “You are Jean Legar, ‘Black’ Jean, renowned from your many suc- cesses on the field of honor?” “I am,” replied the other, smiling compla- cently. “The editor of ‘Le Vautour Noir’?” per- sisted his inquisitor. “Yes,” not quite so complacently. “Then, Monsieur ‘Le Vautour Noir,’ although I am not so well informed in these matters of ‘honor’ as you, I have nevertheless a little duel to carry out with your help.” The crowd began to thin away. “You will take either pistol,” of- fering for his choice a pair of pistols such as are used in duelling, “and I will take the other. You follow me?” Legar became pale and red and pale again. “Very well, I am glad to see that you do. We will seat ourselves on opposite sides of this table, and when the four o’clock chimes first strike, we will fire. Are these details agreeable to you, Monsieur?” “But!” commenced Legar, angrily. “Are they agreeable? Please do me the honor of choosing, as it is now but one minute before four o’clock.” Legar, like most of his type, the human vipers, was venomous, but not physi- cally a coward. He took a pistol and sat down. The challenger nodded approval and sat down also. The clock struck. Two shots rang out, but only one took effect. Legar had not been a duellist for nothing. A little red spot appeared on the soldier’s coat, beneath the decoration. As he died the unknown seemed to be trying to speak. A man bent down to hear. The eyes, soft brown once more, were clos- ing. “She would understand ... my country ...” The eyes opened one last time. “For her ...” he smiled, and the brown eyes closed for good. But she never knew. “What’s this you say about Legar and a duel?” The managing editor looked at the re- porter at the telephone. “What! an officer, probably disgraced—yes, yes, go on,—attacked Legar without provocation!” He flecked an imaginary speck off his highly polished finger nails, “Fine, just in time for the evening edi- tion.” 186 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Effects of Music By Zabelle Sarkisian, 1923 HE hall was crowded with excited people. There was a hush,—and then loud clapping, as the great composer appeared on the stage. I leaned forward listening, wait- ing, in an attitude which psycholo- gists call active attention. He remained un- movable until the clapping had ceased. Al- though the audience quieted down there was a feeling of restlessness and suspense among them. At last the first chord was struck and silence reigned over the audience. One could THE BANANA (Continued from Page 179) with the whole top of the plant, topples over slowly. Care is taken that in falling no injury is done to the fruit or to the adjoining plants. The other laborer grasps the fruit by the long stem below the “fingers” of the bunch and pre- vents it from falling to the earth. Skill and practice play their roles here, for the heavy bunches are awkward and cumbersome to grasp as they swing down from above. This latter laborer receives the name of “backer,” be- cause after his co-worker has severed the bunch from the stock, he swings the heavy fruit upon his shoulder, or rather his head, and carries it out to the tramlines. When the cut- ting is far from the tramlines or spurs, mules replace the “backers.” On the tramlines flat cars drawn by mules convey the fruit to the freight cars wait- ing at the plantation siding on the main line of the railroad. Here at the platform the bunches are ex- amined, checked and loaded into the box cars to await the banana trains, which during the night collect the entire cutting of the day, and carry it to the docks five to forty miles distant. During the cutting the overseers, either on horseback or plodding through mud and heavy vegetation, supervise the laborers. Thus they keep a watch over the grade of fruit cut. The orders for the cutting call for either: (1) Eng- lish fruit; (2) full three-quarters; (3) heavy full three-quarters. The overseer must not al- low a different grade than the orders stipulate to be sent. These curious expressions refer to the degree of fullness of the fruit. (1) Eng- lish fruit: being the lightest fruit cut, and (3) heavy full three-quarters: being the heaviest have heard a pin drop. Then oh, such beauti- ful, heavenly music poured forth from that grand piano, which seemed to communicate to the very soul. The deep, mellow, appealing tones presented pictures and scenes to my mind. As I looked at the faces of those around me, I could see the effect that the soulful music had on them. I decided, from the contented, peaceful expressions, that there is nothing like music to make people kind, happy, and develop their personality. fruit cut for shipment. The degree called (4) bursting is cut for local consumption only, and this is too rare to be of any importance. At the docks the bananas are again checked and loaded in the holds of the steamers, whose refrigerating apparatus maintains a low tem- perature for the cargo until the hatches are again thrown open upon the arrival of the ship at its destination. The bananas are cut green, and for the most part are green upon their arrival here in the States. Then, hung in the open air, or dis- patched to Western cities, they fast ripen and become ready for home consumption and for the well known luxury, “Banana Royale.” This short description is but a hint and no more as to the cultivation and shipment of the banana. It is difficult to describe a tropical plant, so different from the vegetation of our temperate zone, without becoming boresome with botanical and technical terms. For those at all curious and interested in banana cultiva- tion, as well as agriculture in general as it is carried on in the tropics, I would suggest the admirable book written by William Fawcett, B.Sc. (London), the late director of public gardens and plantations of Jamaica, and form- erly an assistant in the Botanical Department of the British Museum. His book has for a title, “The Banana, Its Cultivation, Distribution and Commercial Uses.” The book treats of the sci- ence of banana cultivation in all its forms. His treatment of the by-products of the banana is very complete, as is his minute description of the prevalent diseases of the banana tree. The book contains many excellent pictures of banana cultivation which will aid greatly in forming an understanding of the banana tree and of its peculiarities. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 187 By Stuart W. Chapman, 1923 Along the beach at eventide I stray’d, While at my side the waves broke on the shore, When to my mind, repeated o’er and o’er, This question came, and then my steps I stay’d: What is eternity? When time has laid This universe in dust for evermore; E’en this, so far away, might come, before Eternity an end to her long course had made. Or if one drop of water for each year Could from this mighty ocean be removed, Or for each year one grain of sand could be Conveyed forever from this seashore here, Both sea and seashore would as nought be proved, E’er into nought had passed eternity. THE WORK OF THE WIND By Mildred N. Smith, 1921 The day was dark, the sky was gray, From the great sun not a single ray Of sunshine shone on the dismal scene, But sailed behind the clouds serene. The wind moaned low as night drew nigh, And still darker clouds crept o’er the sky— ’Til in the hush of the twilight drear The snow came falling far and near. Quietly the storm came on its way, Then with the wind it held full sway, The snow was driven there and here, And not an inch of air was clear. The piercing flakes were everywhere, No pity had the wind to spare A single bush or shrub or tree. But beat them down with reckless glee. The night came on and dark it grew, And more and more the great wind blew. What is more fierce or yet more gay Than the March wind chasing its prey? All through the night the storm blew on Until the first faint light of dawn, Then, as conquered or perhaps just tired, The wind to his remote home retired. The sun on high shone forth anew, A wondrous aspect met his view,— The earth wore gems of diamonds rare, And pearls were seen ’most everywhere. Where was the wild mischievous one Who had caused all this to be done? Hidden in some mysterious place Gathering strength for another race! 188 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR BASEBALL Baseball is under way once more and every day the coach and team can be found plugging hard as there are still fifty candidates for nine positions. Hogan, MacFayden and Griffin are likely candidates for the mound this season. Maguire, Harrington, Goodspeed and Burgess are all candidates for backstop. It looks like Kelson has first base, but there is plenty of competition between him and Fraser. Cole, Simpson and Read are all out for the second sack. Captain Jeremiah is holding his own at short- stop. There is plenty of material for the hot corner, including McKay, Mattern and Griffin. There is no real outfield as yet but some of the promising are Kilty, Corliss, Scully, Dris- coll and DeCecia. Last year Somerville won the cup through a fluke, but this year Somerville hopes to clean up every game played. Somerville High School students, especially those of the lower classes who have never been to a baseball game before, are given a wonderful opportunity to see ten home games, played on Dilboy Field, for the small sum of fifty cents.

Dyas, 1924 A day of sacred memories, Of battles fought and won, Of men in violent struggle, To make this nation one! The honored heroes make their way To mounds that mark the spot Where sleep in death the comrades dear, With whom they bravely fought. The stars and stripes are placed about, And floral tributes given. They bow their heads in sacred thought, Their prayer ascends to heaven. They gave their best for freedom’s sake, Their spirit lingers still, May God protect the cause they loved, The nation do His will. My country, bought by blood and tears, May I this day revere, And ever hold as treasure bought, The land that cost so dear. 198 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR MEMORIAL DAY “We come to do honor to the distinguished dead.” Memorial Day has once again come out of the “Past,” to the “Present.” We once again stand before the graves of the dead, which are strewn with roses and watered by the tears of the mourners. We cannot stand here with bowed head without realizing the supreme sacrifice offered by these martyrs, so that we might enjoy the privileges of a free American and a free country. But why? For money? For selfish desire?—ah, no. For love of country and realization of duty. Let us, therefore, reverence the deeds and principles that were those of the immortal dead. JUNIORS Juniors! We are approaching Seniorhood. Are we prepared? No. Wake up. Seniorize your habits, your outlook on school-life and foster school spirit. We note with interest the first issue of the “Tuf-Tonic,” the Tufts humorous magazine. It should soon rank with Harvard’s “Lam- poon” and the Tech “Voodoo.” We are even more interested to note that four Somerville graduates are on the staff. Winfield Root, S. H. S., is editor-in-chief; Lawrence Maddison, S. H. S., is circulation manager; Donald Miller, S. H. S., ’21, is advertising manager, and Ar- land Dirlam, S. H. S., ’22, is one of the staff artists. SCHOOL SPIRIT Do we show proper school spirit and loyalty when we openly violate rules? Do we show the right school spirit when we do not support the undertakings of the classes and enter whole-heartedly into everything connected with the school? It is easy enough to start an undertaking, but unless each one gives his support the plan will not materialize. It is the “man behind the gun” every time. We are (or should be) behind our officers, elected by us, and we should support them. We need enthu- siasm and lively interest in school affairs. We don’t- want to be known as a “slacker” class. Get busy and co-operate for the “Honor and Progress” of 1924. The proposed dates for Senior activities are: Class Day, June 12; Senior Night, June 13; Graduation, June 25. Now that Spring is here we see again an old friend, namely “Keep off the grass.” Well—do it. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 199 Lobster Shells By Mildred N. Smith, 1921 a trifle under weight, but as a regular customer, and ant some lobsters, I’ll let ive them, if you won’t tell ly, especially----and the fish peddler motioned with his thumb to the other part of the house. “She’s some talker!” Elsie smiled and nodded. “I won’t tell her,” she promised, as she fol- lowed the man out to his cart, feeling; very glad there was a chance to get something of which she knew that Jack was very fond. She had been married only a few months, and, al- though her husband never complained, she sometimes felt that he was not entirely satis- fied with the meals which she prepared. Elsie and Jack made their home in a small village on the coast of Maine. They lived in an old- fashioned house which had recently been di- vided for two families. Mrs. Russell, who owned it, lived in the other half, and felt quite a motherly responsibility of the inexperienced little housekeeper. Elsie appreciated her kind- ness, but on the other hand she might have been happier without it, for Mrs. Russell was very fond of gossip, and Elsie knew that any- thing she did was likely to be circulated all over the town. Now, after she had paid for the coveted fish, she hid them behind the fence while she went into the house for a paper bag that no one might see her carrying the lobsters into the house. As she entered her kitchen she found Mrs. Russell in the doorway. “I been lookin’ for you,” she said, seating herself in the rocking chair. “My sister wrote me that her daughter’s cornin’ up here to spend a month with me. She’s cornin’ day after t’mor- row, so I sez to myself, sez I, ‘I’ll jest run in an’ tell Elsie about her.’ Neither of you know many folks here, so I thought that maybe you’d be sort o’ chummy.” “I should be glad to meet your niece,” said Elsie, as she sat down near the window and sent an anxious glance in the direction of the hidden treasure. “Well, that’s jest what I thought, so I sez to myself, sez I, Til tell Elsie about her, so when ’Lizabeth comes she’ll have some young folks about her age to see her.’ ’Lizabeth's twenty-two.” Mrs. Russell looked at Elsie quizzically. “Yes,” replied the girl. Then, as the gaze grew sharper, she added somewhat reluctantly: “I’m twenty-four.” “You’re young to be married.” Elsie had heard this before, and she could never quite decide whether she was being blamed because she was young or married— or both. It was over a half an hour later that Mrs. Russell exhausted the subject of her niece’s arrival and finally took her departure. Elsie rushed out into the yard, and this time suc- ceeded in bringing the lobsters into the house. She was not disappointed in believing that Jack would enjoy the dinner, for he ate it with a relish, and then helped her to “clear away,” (Continued on Page 201) 200 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “A Night’s Work in the North” By Elizabeth Sonier, 1921 HE sun was setting behind the trees of the great Northwest, leaving a path of fire in the sky. The birds were chirping in their nests and the beasts were howling in the distance. “Ship,” the companion of Buddie, the fire-warden of Tower 7 of Dis- trict M-----, was barking joyously as he hur- ried about his master, who was gathering wood for the fire to cook the evening’s meal. On the knoll to the right of the cabin an antenna of about 200 feet ran from a tree to the roof of the cabin and then into the one great room. At closer range the set to which this antenna was attached proved to be a small transmitter which Buddie had made in his spare time. Near this set was also a receiving set. Another wire, which could be attached to the transmitter in place of the antenna, extended from the cabin’s roof to the watch-tower at the left of the yard. “Well, old fellow, I guess it’s about time to cook something. Sun’s going down and it will soon be time to go to the tower,” he said as he patted Ship on the head. An enthusiastic bark was the answer which he received. The two entered the cabin and supper was cooked. A half hour later Buddie crossed the yard to the tower and mounted. Ship stood below and watched his master closely. “All’s well,” Buddie said as he looked about and then sat down. Ship immediately followed his example and sat back on his hind-legs. Buddie was by that time busily studying a book which he had taken from his pocket. It proved to be a Morse-Code book, which he had been studying for some time in order to be- come a licensed operator. All seemed quiet, but as he glanced about him fifteen minutes later, a noise to the north caused him to glance more keenly in that di- rection. With a swift and knowing glance he understood the situation. A dark smoke was rising about the trees about two miles to the northwest. As it mounted toward the sky the clouds became more dark and a slight break of flame appeared over the tree-tops. The noise he had heard was the howl of the wolves. “Fire and wolves to fight,” he said in a husky voice. “The woods are dry as crisp and no water is to be reached in that direction.” He hastened down the tower and ran to his cabin. Picking up the receiver of his telephone he waited for a buzz. Silence! No buzz! In a minute he realized the situation. Wires were down! He was cut off from all help! With a dash he was out of the house and up the tower. The flames were growing brighter, and against the darkness of the approaching night they seemed to fill the surrounding country with fire. “What shall I do?” he thought. “The town is fifteen miles away. I can’t possibly reach it in time to get help back here.” Suddenly he glanced at the book he had been studying. “Radio! Just the thing!” he exclaimed, and with a dash he was down the tower and into the cabin. Quickly he made all connections and placing the receivers on his ears he began: “---------...---------.” (S. 0. S.) “Fire in woods about two miles northwest of Tower 7. Fast increasing! Help at once. W. H. M.” flashed out over the wires again and again. After ten minutes of tense work, he listened and he received a message which caused him to gather up all his fire-fighting implements and hasten to the tower. One half-hour later help arrived and the men were off into the woods. Early the next morning a tired, blistered and black crew of men came out of the woods, followed by a singed dog. They hastened to the cabin and Buddie prepared a light break- fast for them. Finishing this meal they left for town, ready to do their duty if called again. That afternoon as Buddie was sitting by his set, he heard a buzz. Lifting the receiver he received a message which caused him to cry out. An hour later the head of the town fire department arrived and when he left Buddie was the proud possessor of a powerful receiv- ing and transmitting set. The wire which ran to the tower was fixed so that he could enjoy his set when on duty. Needless to say, one month later, W. H. M. was listed as a licensed operator at Tower 7, District M-----. Evenings, after all duty is done, he can be found taking down messages and “listening-in.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 201 Just Nobby Bv Berenice Coyne, 24 UST an ordinary dog, is the ver- dict of those who meet Nobby for the first time. However, in his own way, he has quite a person- ality. Physically, there is not so much to him. Possessed of a short, stout body he wears a brown coat that has a permanent curl. His mood determines the appearance of these curls. If there is no disturbing element nearby, the curly hair is smooth and fits close to his body. On the other hand, even the faintest sug- gestion of a cat will cause every curl to stand on end. His eyes are very attractive. They are rich brown and can plead or flash. His tail is short and is always carried high in the air. Like all men he stoops to flattery. A chance compliment will bring untold attraction, while indifference he treats with resentment. His fighting traits are strong. He will offer fight on the slightest provocation, and never admit defeat. A dog may be too big for Nobby, but Nobby is too game to refuse and will keep in the fray until forcibly dragged away. He does not carry a chip on his shoulder, but his very attitude is a challenge to any one in Dogdom. Nobby’s experiences have been many and varied. The cannon on the grounds at Central Hill lure him from an historic standpoint, but an open garbage can has far greater interest. For some unknown reason a bone deeply buried in a garbage can is of greater value than a richly coated bone served on a tray. His friends are legion and he retains all friendships which he realizes can do him no harm. Lizette, a fancy Pomeranian, was his very special friend, until she showed pugilistic tendencies, which Nobby considered undesir- able in a lady. Worship in the highest degree he gives to automobiles. The make of the car does not alter his regard as long as the wheels are four and the machine in action. He does not attend service on Sunday, yet he is deeply religious. Only recently he jour- neyed a considerable distance to attend ser- vice. He did not happen to be on time for the Sunday service as the day was Wednesday. However, he accomplished something. Lured by some music, he wandered into the choir room, in a rear building. There about forty boys were engaged in church hymns. For awhile Nobby sat in the rear and gave close attention. Very abruptly the music stopped, and the di- rector addressed the boys in anything but a complimentary manner. Nobby bent his little head, then quickly came to attention on all four. With a fierce growl he raised his voice in song. The notes may have been doubtful, the melody far from pleasing, but the fact remained that Nobby was singing. The director stopped, glared angrily. The boys, for a moment speech- less, burst into peals of laughter. Then down the aisle with dancing eyes and triumphant tail came Nobby. He became the centre of at- traction, diverted the anger of the director and introduced some fun into the meeting. He was given a body guard, who escorted him to his home. Yes, just an ordinary dog, loyal to his friends, alert and active, never a quitter, with all the fighting traits of a real gallant Irish terrier. That’s Nobby. LOBSTER SHELLS (Continued from Page 199) in order that there might be no trace of the under-sized red shells if Mrs. Russell put in her appearance, but contrary to her custom she did not appear. Then, the troubling question arose—what should be done with the shells? If they were put out with the garbage, of course, Mrs. Rus- sell might see them. Elsie didn't know whether or not they would burn, so she dared not put them in the stove. Finally, Jack thought of throwing them out into the water. The tide was ebbing, so he quietly went down to the beach and threw the bag of shells as far as he could out into the water. But, alas for those who attempt to cover their tracks! The next morning when Elsie looked out upon the beach, a horrible sight met her eyes. During the night the wind had changed, and when the tide came in it brought back with it the tell-tale under-sized shells, and scattered them upon the beach. Jack at first treated the matter as a good joke, but when he found how disturbed his (Continued on Page 203) 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR JUNIOR NIGHT Junior Night was held May 25 in High School Hall, under the auspices of the Junior class. Two plays selected by Miss Bell were given by excellent casts. The Junior class was especially honored in being able to secure “The First Day,” a play given a short time ago, for the first time, at the Harvard 47 Workshop. This play is not yet in print. The second play was entitled “The Missing Card.” Between the acts musical selections were rendered by a trio con- sisting of the Misses Greta Hedlund, 24, vio- linist; Dorothy Shaw, ’24, ’cellist, and Alice Belden, pianist. The Misses Verona Whit- comb, ’24, soprano; Helen Moore, ’24, traps, drums and xylophones, also contributed much to the programme. Dancing followed, music- being furnished by the Shepard’s Colonial Or- chestra of Boston. As has been the custom of past years, the faculty was present as guests of the class. The committee in charge consisted of the Misses Dorothy Newman, Lillian Kingston and Irving Spering. Marion Grimes had a very pleasant vacation at her grandmother’s home in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. Dorothy Wyman returned to her home town, Hartford, Connecticut, and spent a pleasant va- cation. Velma Morrison leaves for California the last of May. Things have been happening in the Junior Class, II English C, division, under the super- vision of Mrs. Topliff. The members of the class are deep in the study of poetry. Short poems have been written by all members of the class. A lyrical poem, by Dorothy Cragin, has been set to music by Atherton Fryer. This is to be sung by a double quartette, composed of Thomas Buckley, James Cruickshank, Emilie Cole, Victoria Atley, Adelle Allen, Sarah Sher- burne, Armand St. Coeur and Anthony LeCeeca, under the leadership of Atherton Fryer. They are accompanied by Dorothy Cragin at the piano and Clara Baker, violinist. At the sug- gestion of Miss Woodbury, typewritten copies have been made of several poems and these are on exhibition in the West Library. The original copies are on the bulletin board in Room 110. Do you know that:— There was doubt as to whether or not Junior Night would be held, because of the lack of sup- port of the Junior class? The author of a play to be presented on Junior Night, the one obtained from Professor Baker, of Harvard, wishes to attend the per- formance? All plays are read by Miss Sprague before being accepted? Dorothy Shaw and Velma Morrison are going , to Northfield Seminary next year. Election of next year’s officers of the Play- ers’ Club was held May 18. Fifteen complimentary tickets to a per- formance of Tufts College Dramatic Club were presented to the Somerville Players’ Club. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR An assembly was held May 8 for the Junior and Senior classes. The purpose was to urge the student body to support the debating team that night in the dual debate with Medford. Simultaneous debating was to be held, the boys at our school and the girls at Medford High. Richard Walsh, president of the Roys’ Debat- ing Society, presided. Mr. Avery, Miss Merrill and Mr. Pearson spoke very emphatically con- cerning our expected attendance that evening. Margaret Taylor enjoyed a most interesting trip with her family to Washington, D. C. Mrs. Mathews also visited Washington, D. C. Miss Merrill and Miss Sprague spent the week in New York. Dorothy Ford, Allene Rowe, Dorothy New- man, Priscilla Ripley, Phyllis Wardrobe, Mar- garet Kendall, Greta Hedlund, Gretchen Bowers and Alice Belden passed a delightful week at the summer home of Constance Garrod, Post Island, Quincy, Massachusetts. It looks as if Somerville may earn the cup this year. Four straight wins in the league (to 203 the time of writing) spells victory. The coach and team certainly deserve the support of the school. There are plenty of Juniors in the ranks. “Danny” McFayden, the finest schoolboy twirler around Boston. Clarence (“Pitter”) Fraser, captain-elect of the football team, plays either left field or first base. “Bill” Harrington stops McFayden’s “fadeaways” and “Frankie” Cole gets his pegs to second. “Ted” Corliss has made several pretty catches in centre field. John Maguire, another Junior, in right field, has made more than one sensational catch. Al- though they are not Juniors, we must speak of Francis “Gimpty” Hogan, a “Soph,” who gets more space in the papers than Mayor Curley, and Haskell Billings, another “Soph,” playing third base, who has the makings of a big leaguer. It is a treat to watch him make diffi- cult stops and peg the ball to first. Captain “Jerry” and Paul Simpson, short and second respectively, are playing their regular ball game, but as they are Seniors we know they would not want us Juniors to praise them. We’re right behind them though. LOBSTER SHELLS (Continued from Page 201) wife was, he concealed his mirth and attempted to console her. “We’re not the only ones who live along the shore. Why should Mrs. Russell blame us for them ?” “You don’t know her,” complained Elsie. “She’ll come in and want to know if I know anything about them—and I can’t lie to her.” The breakfast that morning was silent and gloomy, under the pressure of impending dan- ger. “Don’t worry about it,” advised Jack, as he said good-bye. “It’s no great crime, even if we are found out.” “But, Jack, if we are found out, we’ll have to go to court and pay a fine!” said Elsie, her lips quivering. In spite of Jack’s attitude toward the affair, Elsie did worry about it. She jumped at every sound, fearing that Mrs. Russell was coming, and she was so nervous that she even broke one of the best cups when she was washing the dishes. At length, when it was eleven o’clock and there was still no sign of Mrs. Rus- sell, Elsie began to wonder if anything had happened to her landlady. She opened the door that led into Mrs. Russell’s kitchen and stepped in. She could hear her “dry mopping” in the parlor, and was about to call to her, when she caught sight of something on the table that made her eyes begin to twinkle, and she quietly returned to her own part of the house. That night when Jack returned his first in- quiry was: “Has the war been waged?” Elsie shook her head solemnly. “There wasn’t any,” she replied. Then with a low laugh she added: “Jack, it’s the funniest thing I know. Mrs. Russell had some short lob- sters, too!” 204 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR NOTES OF THU ALVMNI CA2-TTE.ELL-08 1922.

I spent a heap of gold on you three years ago, Now you refuse to go,—or won’t or can’t. Through town and countryside I drove thee full of pride, No charm you lacked. I loved your gaudy hue, your tires so round and new, Now I feel mighty blue, the way you act. To thee, old rattlebox, came many bumps and knocks, For thee I grieve. Badly thy top is torn, frayed are thy seats and worn! The croup affects thy horn, I do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze, while good folks choke and sneeze, As we pass by. I paid for thee a price, ’twould buy a mansion twice, Now everyone yells “Ice!” I wonder why. Thy motor has the grip; thy spark plug has the pip, And woe is thine. I, too, have suffered chills, fatigue and kindred ills, Trying to pay the bills since thou wert mine. Gone is my bank roll now; no more ’twould “choke a cow,” As once before. Yet if I had the yen, so help me, John—Amen! I’d buy a car again and spend some more. THE WAY OF LEAST RESISTANCE By John Holmes, 1924 As Youth starts out in the long race of Life, The tracks run free and clear on every side. It matters little which Youth takes. Any great goal through any stress or strife However hard, Youth calls as good as gained If Youth but starts. But soon across the path Spring hindrances. A lack of ready wealth Forbids this way. This pleasant shady lane Of life Youth must avoid. A difference of class Shuts off one goal Youth had hoped to reach. Harder grows the way. The rosy light that shone at first Is gone. A mass of man-made laws forbidding stands On every side, and Youth, wearied ere half-way His race is run, drifts to a gentler path, Convention-bound, and leading where his fathers ran. VOICE OF THE SEA Trees speak in gentle, low-voiced murmuring, Brooks in the mountains sing a melody; But no voice speaks with accents awe-inspiring, As the stern roaring of the mighty sea. Deep is the thunder of the pounding surf That beats recurrent on the far-stretched sand; Deeper the hoarse-voiced wind that sweeps Out of the endless sea across the open land.

Toward the end of the ninth century, how- ever, there began a development that was des- tined to revolutionize all such means of pass- ing tedious hours away. Everywhere, from the tenth century on, the production in churches, consisting of alternative song, was combined with some kind of theatrical staging. Then, with the dialogue and development of dramatic action, came the tableaux as being recognized as a means of impressing upon the unlearned the principles of Christian truth. In these early productions the language was always Latin, the subject was always taken from the Scrip- tures, and the performance was always given in the church. Although the church had already repressed the classic drama, it came in time to use dra- matic action to enforce its teachings. Perform- ances of this sort soon grew to be very elabor- ate, as so much emphasis was given to cos- tumes and settings. Unconsciously, everybody waited for the day when a removal to the out- side of sacred edifices would do away with that severe, repressive atmosphere and give a freer play to genuine dramatic emotion. It took England more than 200 years or until 1250 to make all the changes from a little dia- logue to Bible scenes and plays that were reg- ularly presented for the public entertainment or instruction. Then, in the course of the de- velopment of drama, came the presentation of the morality play. This type had character abstractions with a moral and didactic purpose. These have come down to us from the middle of the fifteenth century and show an inter- esting transition from the more general treat- ment of the powers of good and evil of the soul of man. The next advance toward higher development was the Interlude. This form showed more definite characterization and a more interest- ing plot, as opposed to the character abstrac- tions of the morality play. All this showed that more characteristics toward the true comedy were observed. In later years, when the drama of Greece and Rome considerably influenced the English stage, there were no real connections between the classic drama and the origins of the new form that arose in the Middle Ages. This foreign influence, however, showed us that a highly developed form of drama existed among the ancient Greeks and Romans, beside serving as a model for the English comedy and tragedy. At this time, the first successful real English comedy, “Ralph Roister Doister,” was written by Nicholas Udall, after the form of the Romans. Using this as a model many others were written about the middle of the sixteenth century. Closely following the completion of the com- edy came the tragedy. The play called “Gorbu- duc” was the first perfected tragedy and was presented before Queen Elizabeth in 1562. With the important writers of tragedy, such as Lyly, Greene, Peele, Marlowe and Kyd, as predeces- sors, William Shakespeare perfected in a glori- ous form, the tragedy; and by the close of the famous Elizabethan age the best form of Eng- lish drama had been achieved.

The Senior number was especially attractive, because of its class will, census and prophecy. The tenth meeting of the Students’ Council was held in Room 205 with the president pre- siding. The new officers of the Sophomore Class were formally introduced. Miss Helen Smith was elected to fill the va- cancy left by Frank Ramsey. Mr. Campbell was appointed to interview Mr. Dudley, relative to having refuse barrels placed in front of the school, and also bring to the notice of Mr. Dudley the necessity of fire ex- tinguishers on the first and second floor, East building. A mbtion was made and adopted that a com- mittee of one be appointed by the chair to in- terview Mr. Avery, relative to having fasten- ers on the doors. Eugene LeSieur was ap- pointed. Muriel Clark was appointed by the chair to see Miss Luce, relative to a better arrangement for the selling of lunch tickets. Edmund Jellison has been elected floor proc- tor of second floor, West building. A member of the Sophomore Class, having violated the smoking rule, appeared before the Council and gave his reasons for so doing. A motion was made and passed that a Soph- omore assembly be held, under the auspices of the Students’ Council, and at which assem- bly this Sophomore would apologize to his class. 212 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SOMERVILLE, 3; BROOKLINE, 2. Somerville received a scare from Brookline on May 5 at Dilboy Field, when Brookline held Somerville to a 3 to 2 win.

Bi'iuratitm For many years the destinies of the English De- partment and of the Radiator have been guided by one firm hand and brilliant mind. With sorrow we learn that she leaves the school with the Class of 1923. In sincere admiration and appreciation of her inter- est and help we, the Senior Class of 1923, dedicate this Year Book to its faculty adviser, Hias A. Utarum Hrrrtll Si Utaljmtrg We greatly regret the loss from the faculty of Mr. Stephen Mahoney, though his election to the supervisorship of the Cambridge Recreation Com- mission is financially much to his advantage. Mr. Mahoney has been an active worker, not only in the department of history, his special subject, but in debating his interest has been unfailing and his counsel always wise. In athletics he has been a faithful counselor. All unite in wishing him continued prosperity and great happiness. Seven Alia A V 'V MHOF iFamudl ¥HE time has come for the parting of the ways. For three long and pleas- ant years the Class of 1923 has en- joyed friendships and activities, work and play, disappointments and triumphs under the sheltering roof of Som- erville High School. We may do this no longer. We must go forth, armed with the weapons given us here, to do our part for the world’s good. And so we say good-by with a touch of sadness and with the hope that the Class of 1923 may have a place in the memory of those left behind. Nin? ®ablr nf CUnnt nti?

This Year Book inscribes the finis and contains, we hope, an accurate summary of the year in the school. The Senior Class has been given its due prominence, but other classes and departments have not been neglected. A championship base- ball team is sending us away filled with thoughts of victory and covering past misfortunes. Debating, the various musical organizations, minor athletics, and dramatics have all enjoyed a splendid year. This Year Book portrays each of these activities. We hope all will be satisfied with it. We make neither apologies nor undue claims, but will let the merit of its con- tents decide our ability as recorders. The Editor-in-Chief. ifantltg Afomaprs in«‘teon A. MARION MERRILL GEORGE M.

Their able and willing co-operation has done much to publish this record. They have secured advertisements, and attended to many details. The regular staff wishes to thank them for their assistance. 1923 Frances Knibbs Esther Fisher Priscilla Leach Robert Glover Charles Clapp 1924 Dorothy Newman Robert Holmes Eliot Brown 1925 Robert Pride CLASS REPORTERS This year a change in the make-up of the Radiator Staff, which we believe very beneficial, has been made. The class editors elected by the various classes are now reporters. Their duties consist of gathering news wherever they may find it, for the Winks From the Wise Depart- ment. The jokes, previously in their charge, are now compiled by an associate editor and better results have been clearly shown.

Is it existing in ease and leisure? Is it following the line of least resistance, drifting aimlessly along, trusting to luck to get somewhere in the world, to accomplish success; or is it the desire to aim high, to work accordingly and to make the most of life? The last, I think, is what we mean by the best of life, for then we have something definite to work for to inspire diligence, a beacon of future plans and hopes urging us forward. “Consecrate your- self to some definite mission that will benefit the world as well as yourself.” Is it not worth while to stop and examine one's self to study carefully one's strong and weak points, the things that light the advance road and those that put it in the shadow. If the old dictum is true, that “knowledge is power,” self-knowledge must be first of all. The surest sign of a successful person who can bring things to pass, is a hunger for achievement, a longing to be somebody, and to do some- thing worth while in the world. It was this hunger which impelled Thomas Erskine, whom Lord Campbell pronounces the greatest advocate and most consummate orator that ever lived, to battle his way and overcome many impending obstacles until he attained success. This longing for some- thing higher; this hidden germ of aspiration struggling to the light, this is the kind of genius which youth should cultivate. A century ago a poor boy was blacking boots for the Oxford University students. By untiring energy he raised himself above all difficulties, step by step, until he became one of the world’s greatest preachers. What gave Governor Brooks courage to carry his trunk on his back a long distance to the station on his way to college? It was his hunger for advancement and his thirst for learning. Professor Peabody of Har- vard University used to say “that a firm decision to be an educated man is itself half an education.” If a boy or girl once gets a thirst for an education, or gets his ambition fired to do something, there is very little danger of failure. It is the thing we long for, that we strive for, that we determine to achieve at all hazards, which indicates the line of our possi- bilities. The goal of success lies at the end of the highway of ambition, and the highway of ambition is what we long to be. It is astonishing how much power there is in an intense desire and a determination to accomplish a thing no matter how impossible it may seem. Napoleon used Twfntj -four to say: “A firm resolution can make realities out of possibilities.” Let each ask himself these questions: What can I do best? In what capacity can I best serve my fellow men and develop to the utmost my own resources? The answer directly affects the progress of the world, for civilization can only reach its highest when each man or woman is fitted to use best the gifts, the talents, the poweis with which he is endowed. Not money, not notoriety, not even fame, but power to serve the world’s needs is what we want. “ We must borrow our driving power from foun- tains of living water, which flow not in the schools; and our materials must come from the living breathing universe, with which no museum is fur- nished.” Whatever the plan of life, whatever the great requisite, the unvarying need is perseverance. Never give up! Stick to it though sometimes the way may seem dreary and cloudy. It was this spirit that inspired and compelled Cyrus W. Field after thirty long years of failure to see his won- derful work accomplished. If it has been possible for a girl, deaf, dumb and blind to make a success in life through perseverance and grit, what cannot many who are blest with all their faculties hope to accomplish? James Ferguson, the peasant boy who acquired for himself the title of astrono- mer, fought his way through the fields of knowledge, out of the wilds of Banffshire, got to London, and left a name which the world will not let die. Circumstances have really favored great men. “A lowly beginning is not a bar to a great career.” The boy who works his way through col- lege may have a hard time, but he will learn how to work his way through life. The world is always ready to help a man after he has conquered his obstacles and shown his ability to live without help. The works that have been admired for ages have been the result of hard, unwearied toil. Michael Angelo, who, if anyone, had a right to rely on genius only, said later of himself that all he had accomplished was due to study, to attention, not only to the plan of the whole, but to each detail, as he so well said: ‘Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle.” Some men seem born to conquest. Wherever they are they dominate and command the situation. These natural victors have great self- confidence; they know that they are able to overcome obstacles, that achievement is their birthright. They go through life taking it for granted that they shall control their surroundings; they are convinced that there is but one power in the universe, and they are a part of that power. They have no fear of failure, because they know that fearing failure and lack of self-confidence are two of the most potent causes of defeat. The youth who expects to get on in the world must make up his mind that, come what may, he will succeed. He must have a firm conviction that he was made for success, that success is his birthright, a right of which he cannot be deprived by any combination of adverse circum- stances. The greatest artist in the world could not paint the face of a Madonna with an image of depravity constantly held in his mind. You cannot Twent y-ll ve expect to be loved if you surround yourself with an atmosphere of hatred, envy, and jealousy, and for the same reason you cannot succeed if you sur- round yourself with an atmosphere of doubt. It is estimated that it takes at least twenty-eight years to bring the human body with all its faculties to the highest state of perfection and vigor. If the Creator of the universe takes more than a quarter of a century to develop this, the greatest of His works, how mighty must be the purposes for which He has designed it. “The Creator made a success- ful machine, and failure is as abnormal to Him as discord is to harmony.” God never made a man for failure. We are success organized, success tuned, achievement planned. Classmates: As we pause a moment on this our class day the subject we have considered comes home to every one of us. We stand like Janus of old looking alike to the past and to the future. Have we made the best of our four years of high school? Time will tell for the future, what- ever of weal or woe is written for each—we know for all alike the supreme test of a worthwhile life is, the amount of good accomplished. “Rouse to some high and holy work of love And thou an angel’s happiness shalt know, Shalt bless the earth and in the world above The good begun by thee while here below Shall like a river run and broader flow.” Twi ll!) - i z CLASSES (Drwuarum Qsumrg ■ OF 19 2 3 Qllaaa litBtnrtr The class of 1923 began its career in the Fall of 1920. We had the distinction of being the first class to enter Somerville High School under the new three-year plan. We immediately organized as a class, and the following officers were elected: Edward Hall, President; Elizabeth Tib- betts, Vice-President; Claire Tucke, Secretary; and Harry Hurley, Treas- urer. Under the auspices of the above named officers, a Sophomore dance was held, which proved successful in every sense of the word. This dance was the first of our social activities as a class. We returned to school in the Fall of 1921 as Juniors. Our president and treasurer were re-elected, with Fayette Haskell and Dorothy Lawson, as vice-president and secretary, respectively. As Juniors we staged that delightful comedy, “ Bashful Mr. Bobbs,” which was considered the best Junior play the high school had ever produced. In addition to its theat- rical success, the play netted a very high profit to the class treasury. The second event of importance to our class was the Junior prom, which was equally successful as a social activity, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all Juniors. By the end of our Junior year we were fully prepared to uphold the traditions of the school when we came back as Seniors. At last we reached the apex of our “ High School ambitions,”—we were Seniors. Our class officers were soon chosen: Rollo Lewis, President; Fayette Haskell, Vice-President; Inez Comstock, Secretary; and Harry Hurley, Treasurer. It has been our honor to be the first and last class to unite with the Juniors and put on a Junior-Senior play. The play was a comedy entitled “Nothing But the Truth,” and was a great success. We have worked all year towards the three great events, namely. Class Day, Senior Night and Graduation. Our class has also supported generously all athletics in the school and has produced many good athletes. During the year our colors were changed from gray and green to royal blue and white. A new banner was made with our numerals beginning the list. Before closing we wish to thank the faculty for their friendly advice and for the invaluable lessons which they have taught us. Thus we leave Somerville High School proud of the fact that we are members of the Class of 1923. Th ml;, -nine ROLLO S. LEWIS, President Class of 1923. iruinra Rollo Lewis.....

On Thursday evening, December 27, the first reunion of the Class of 1923 will be held in the High School Auditorium. Seniors not able to be present are requested to correspond with the class secretary. Seniors of 1923, a reunion of your class may be the only time in the year you can renew old friendships. Remember the date and make every effort to be present. One II mnl n il l-'ive CLASS GIFT GIFT COMMITTEE In casting about for a gift for the school the committee held two ideals in mind. First, to present the school with something of practical value that could be used in the everyday work of the school and, second, that the gift should be ornamental and seem to recall the Class of 1923 to the faculty and future undergraduates. With these objects in view a beautifully made speaker’s stand was selected. Made of fine English oak, and furnished with a gavel and marble block, bearing the numerals 1923, it should keep 1923 in the minds of all each time the hall is used. One Hundred Six litstonj nf tlj? Junior (ftlaaa In the Fall of the year 1921 the Junior class of 1924 began its career in the Somerville High School. The following people were elected as of- ficers: Leslie Thompson, President; Esme Lucas, Vice-President; Harris Neil, Treasurer; Evelyn Thompson, Secretary. The most important event of the year was our Sophomore dance. The Seniors patronized us splendidly and a considerable amount was added to our treasury. The dues were 25 cents. After the expenses for Class Day and our Year Book picture a reasonable sum was left for the follow- ing year. Both the boys arid the girls were represented in the various school activities and a few boys received letters. Our Junior year began in the Fall of 1922. The same officers were re-elected. One of our big events this year was the Senior-Junior play. Most of the cast was comprised of representatives from our class. Great talent was shown by the Junior members of the cast, so our possibilities for a Senior play next year are hopeful. We received half the proceeds and next year we shall have all the proceeds, so our treasury ought to be large enough to cover expenses in our Senior year. Our most important event this year was Junior Night. It was held in the school auditorium on the evening of May 25. Two one-act plays and a general entertainment were given. Dancing and refreshments fol- lowed. The dancing lasted until twelve o’clock. The Shepard Colonial Orchestra played. Next year we expect to carry on the school activities and fill the places of the Seniors in such a manner that will be satisfactory to all. Next year, Juniors, is the year of the years, let’s make it the best one! LESLIE THOMPSON, President Class of 1924.

For a time everything was strange and new. There were so many new things to become accustomed to and so much to do that it was some time before the class elected its officers and formed as a body in the school. However, the following officers were elected: Clifton R. Campbell, President; Eleanor Drew, Vice-President; Muriel Clark, Secretary; and Eugene LeSieur, Treasurer. After this, immediate action was taken in regards to class dues and business. An assembly was held, the officers were introduced and the question of class dues came up. Then within three short weeks from the time the class was established there was over two hundred dollars in the class treasury. We feel that this is a new record and that it has been set by the Class of 1925. Another noteworthy point is the continual increase of Sophomore names on the Honor List. We feel that our class is the king, not only of socials and good times, but of study, which after all is what we are here for. With the addition of a dance, which was quite successful, we caused our treasury to swell a little more. And so I think that the Class of 1925 can truthfully say it is a real class. Furthermore, that they intend to be a still better class in every way. CLIFTON R. CAMPBELL, President Class of 1925. One I In ml red Twelve ihQ STUDENTS’ COUNCIL (Hmtnril Another successful year has been experienced by the Students’ Council. Throughout the past school year the good results of the Stu- dents’ Council can be traced to the earnest co-operation between the faculty, student body and the Council. Though not attempting to de- fine policies of school administration, the Council has endeavored to the very best of its ability to become a factor in the school which tends to make the school a place of co-operation and helpfulness. When the Council had some plan which they wished to have adopted by the students, it could be easily presented before the student body by its representatives, the room proctors. Every motion accepted by the Council was one of some distinct im- provement or advantage to the student body. The pupils responded well, and the results were more than satisfying to the faculty and the Council. Many matters, after having been fully discussed, were carried out, among which have been campaigns for cleanliness in classrooms, corri- dors, lunchrooms and school grounds; assisting the faculty in conduct- ing fire drills, conducting and assisting in campaigns for the school bank. Red Cross, Near East Relief, the Athletic Association, the orchestra and various other kindred organizations, assisting in securing better car- service and reduced rates for the pupils, conducting a lost and found bureau for the pupils’ convenience, establishing, with the co-operation of the faculty, the standard with which all candidates for class officers would have to agree. The Students’ Council has endeavored to eliminate all infractions of the school regulations. On various 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 suggested 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. Ever since the Students’ Council has been organized Mr. S. H. Ma- honey has been one of its staunchest supporters, and has often helped the Council by his wise advice. It was with great disappointment and regret that the Students’ Council bade Mr. Mahoney farewell. However, Mr. Mahoney carries with him the Council’s best wishes in his new posi- tion, and extends its greetings to Mr. Sears, its new faculty adviser, who will replace Mr. Mahoney and co-operate with Miss Brown as adviser. The officers of this year’s Students’ Council were: Rollo Lewis, Presi- dent; Leslie Thompson, Vice-President; Edward Hall, Treasurer; and Inez Comstock, Secretary. Out 11 tint! red Fifteen CHESS TEAM The Chess Team closes this year its second season, which has been successful, though shorter than last year. The team was chosen, as it was last year, from the more proficient members of the Chess Club. Owing to a delay in organizing the club for the 1922-1923 season, the team was chosen later than planned, and in consequence played a shorter schedule. The team was composed as follows: Captain, Richard J. Walsh, ’23; Manager, Francis Shea, ’23; Julius dayman, ’24, (President of the Chess Club); Warren S. Thomas, ’23; Stanley F. Teele, ’23; Samuel Tay- lor, ’23; Ralph Ells, ’24. Somerville played two matches, one with Rindge at Somerville, and the other at Cambridge also with Rindge. The first resulted in a 4-2 victory for Somerville, and the second in a 3-3 tie, leaving Somerville the victor for the series. The team, although handicapped by lack of time, made a good showing this season, and is confident that Somerville will make an even better one next year, because there is good Junior material to fill up the vacancies which will be caused by graduation. RICHARD JOSEPH WALSH, ’23, Captain. One Ilumlretl Sixteen DEBATING (UHLS’ l)KBATIX(J SOCIETY GIRLS’ DERATING TEAM This year the Girls’ Debating Society has undergone most drastic changes. In previous years there has been a Triangular League, com- posed of Brookline, Newton and Somerville. This year the League dis- solved and Somerville has as yet formed no new league. Several enjoyable debates took place in the past year, one of which was with the Boys' Debating Society. A mock trial, in which the case of one of the members was tried, proved a most interesting innovation. One 11 ii ml real Srvciilrrn Debating Week, which took place early in the year, was managed by both the Boys' and Girls’ Debating Societies. As a result of this drive over two hundred members were pledged to the Girls’ Debating Society. In order to continue the annual custom of an interscholastic debate, Medford High School was challenged by Somerville High School’s combined Debating Societies. The question, “Resolved: That high schools of the future should offer pupils the fundamentals of education rather than specialized training,” was ably upheld by Marion Moore, ’24; Dorothy Ford, ’24; and Marguerite Milner, ’24, of Somerville. The decision was in favor of Somerville. The officers of the past year were: Kathleen O’Brien, 1923, President; Dorothy Obear, 1923, Vice-President; Grace Figved, 1923, Secretary; and Mrs. Card, Faculty, the coach. Next year’s society looks forward to a most successful season, as the society is now an amalgamation of the debating course and the original society. KATHLEEN H. O’BRIEN, 1923, President of Girls’ Debating Society, THE BOYS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The Boys’ Debating Society has brought back the high standard enjoyed by its teams for so many years in Somerville High School history. Early in 1923 a challenge was sent to Medford and accepted by them, after revision to make the contest a dual debate with teams of girls and boys from each school, instead of between two boys’ teams. The boys’ team which represented Somerville was: Francis Shea, ’23; John Callahan, ’23; Samuel Taylor, ’23, and Warren Thomas, ’23, and Richard Walsh, ’23, al- ternates. Although the Somerville boys' team did not win they gave a fine exhibition of what hard work and ability can accomplish, and barely missed out by a 2-1 judges’ decision. The society owes especial gratitude to Francis Shea, the manager, who besides delivering a remarkable debate, efficiently and smoothly car- ried out the thousand and one details of managing the debate, and to Warren Thomas, who had charge of the tickets. The team and supporters On� llii nil r« «l i of debating in the school are much indebted to Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Sears for their invaluable support and coaching. The officers for the season of 1922-1923 were: Richard J. Walsh, President; Stanley F. Teele, Vice-Presi- dent; Samuel Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer. Debating has gone well this year, once more; the graduating seniors, who have done their best in the cause, cannot doubt that it will continue. RICHARD JOSEPH WALSH, President. On« 11II JI I It'll Nlnrlrrn RADIO CLUB RADIO CIA 13 Under the leadership of Mr. Obear, preparations were made in the middle of the year for the formation of a new organization in the school, namely a Radio Club. A meeting was held of the boys and girls who were interested in radio, and plans were made for the formation of a constitu- tion. At another meeting the finished copy of the constitution, compiled by the committee in charge, was read and accepted. At another meeting nomination papers were distributed among those wishing to become of- ficers of the club. Later an election was held and the results were as follows: Leslie Thompson, President; Carlton Bessey, Vice-President; Lawrence Smith, Treasurer; Ronald Naugler, Secretary. An executive committee was elected from the floor. The results were as follows: William Parker, Roy Nelson and Charles Galley. This committee was to act as advisers to the officers. Dean Swan was elected as publicity agent and Muriel Estes was elected as librarian. The club magazines were kept in the west library, and members who wished to read the books had to present their member- ship cards to the librarian. Room 308 was designated as being the of- ficial room of the club, and the place where the club receiving apparatus was to be installed. It was decided that a C. R. A. circuit should be used in the receiving set, so that a variation of wave lengths may be obtained. After a few weeks of hard work the club set was completed and excellent results were obtained. Arrangements were also made on two afternoons each week for those desiring to receive code practice. Dean Swan and Richard Tousey were the instructors. A permanent antenna was also installed on the left wing of the West building. A lightning arrester was also provided and installed for the pro- tection of the building. It is hoped that the club will have a larger membership next year, and that the club will be able to engage in a more varied activity. Now that the club is organized in the school greater things will be expected and Somerville High School will hear more of the Somerville High School Radio Club. LESLIE THOMPSON, President. One Hundred Twenty-une BANKING ASSOCIATION SCHOOL BANK The Somerville High School Bank has played its part well as one of the activities of the school. A new system was evolved during the school year 1922-1923, in which a fifteen-minute period every Monday morning was set apart for banking. To save time formerly spent in going to the bank on the third floor, six sub-treasuries have been established in which the pupils may make deposits. A teacher is in charge of each sub-treasury. There are two sub-treasuries on each floor of the buildings. With the help of a special committee and the bank officials, assisted by two members of the Senior class, the bank has had a very successful year. We have at the present time five hundred active depositors. The officers are: President, John L. Hayward; Treasurer, Cornelia D. Pratt; Assistant Treasurers, Catherine Collins, Zabelle G. Sarkisian. One Hundred Twenty-three INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL i nrnntifH 1898 PHI ALPHA 1923 Phi Alpha’s twenty-fifth year has drawn to a most successful close. Among its activities can be counted a masked ball, a Hallowe’en dance, a Christmas dance, the annual dance, six luncheons, a progressive dinner party, and a banquet, held at the Westminster Hotel, to celebrate Phi Alpha’s silver anniversary. These and many other good times have been enjoyed with close friendship and good-will, which is the aim of Phi Alpha, by the mem- bers of 1923, who are as follows: Claire Tucke, President; Elizabeth Tib- betts, Secretary; Beatrice Lord, Treasurer; Fayette Haskell, Dorothy Lawson and Esther Fisher. In May, six new members for the following year were taken in. The members of 1924 are: Beatrice Carr, Allene Rowe, Alice Belden, Greta Hedlund, Inda Butler and Constance Garrod. Much credit and many sincere thanks are due Phi Alpha’s faculty ad- visers, Miss Browne and Miss Bowker, who have helped the society un- ceasingly and cheerfully. In 1898 Phi Alpha first wished the faculty and pupils a most happy vacation. In 1923 Phi Alpha still expresses the same earnest hope. May the succeeding members maintain the high ideals of past years for the glory of Phi Alpha! ALPHA THETA PI Alpha Theta Pi Sorority has come to the end of its seventh success- ful year. The officers during the year 1922-1923 were: Drucilla Allen, President; Dorothea Farnsworth, Vice-President; Priscilla Leach, Re- cording Secretary; Marion Grimes, Corresponding Secretary; Elizabeth Maddison, Treasurer. The sorority held an informal Hallowe’en dance at Fitzedward Bunga- low, and later a Valentine dance at the same place. The annual ball this year was given at the Copley Square Hotel in Boston, on April 2. Owing to the novelty of the surroundings it was one of the most enjoyable of this season’s dances. The annual banquet was held at the Hotel Vendome on January 10. The sorority members who are leaving the school this year wish their younger sisters every success in upholding the standards of Alpha Theta' Pi. Out llmulr« il -ftv« In closing the members of Alpha Theta Pi wish to thank Miss Sprague and Miss Beil, their faculty members, for all their kind and helpful ad- vice and aid, and wish the faculty and students of the Somerville High School a most enjoyable summer vacation. SIGMA KAPPA ALPHA The Sigma Kappa Alpha Sorority began its activities for the year 1922-1923 with an informal dancing party at Fitzedward Bungalow. Throughout the school year weekly meetings were held at the homes of the members. The annual Christmas party given by the sorority took place in December. Miss Evelyn Thompson made a humorous appearance as Santa Claus, presenting to each girl a gift from the tree. A supper was served and dancing and games followed until a late hour. Our next entertainment, a bridge party, on March 16, at the home of Marguerite Mansfield, 191 Summer Street, was enjoyed immensely by the girls’ mothers. Favors and decorations were green and white. A luncheon was served and an entertainment was given by Misses Dorothy Baxter, Alice Moran, Muriel Williams and Bernice Parker. A new party, introduced by the S. K. A. girls, termed as a “peanut party,” was held at the home of Kathleen McCabe, 131 Josephine Avenue. The favors and decorations, which were of peanuts, were unique. Games were also played with peanuts. The annual banquet on April 23 at Hotel Somerset was a brilliant affair. The banquet hall was decorated with red and gold, the sorority colors, and the table with odd lamps and roses. After-dinner speeches were made by this year’s officers, namely: President, Frances Swine- hamer; Vice-President, Alice Shea; Secretary, Elizabeth Canniff; Treas- urer, Marguerite Mansfield. An entertainment was given by many of the sorority girls, and red leather purses, with SKA printed on the out- side in gold letters, were given to each member. Elizabeth Canniff, who acted as toastmistress, presented bouquets to our honorary members and to our president. The Sigma Kappa Alpha girls take this opportunity to thank the faculty for their interest, and wish them and the students of the Somer- ville High School a very enjoyable summer. DELTA SIGMA PHI The Delta Sigma Phi Sorority has enjoyed a most successful season during 1922-1923. The officers were: Inez Comstock, President; Mildred Moses, Vice- President; Josephine Pen Dell, Secretary; Christine Young, Treasurer. The sorority began its social activities of the year with an informal dancing party at the Grantanbry Bungalow, November 10, 1922. One II iimlr« «l Twenty-xlx In December a very pretty Christmas party took place at the home of one of the members. The annual banquet was held at Hotel Vendome, February 20. On Friday evening, April 20, another successful dancing party was held at the Grantanbry Bungalow. The week-end and holiday of the 30th of May was spent at a cottage in Cochituate. The new members for the year 1924 are: Esme Lucas, Lillian Olsen, Louise Matheson, Elin Swanson, Elsie Sandvold and Marion Newell. The members of Delta Sigma Phi take this opportunity to thank Miss Swallow and Miss Abbott, their faculty members, for their splendid co-operation throughout the year, and to wish the faculty and students of Somerville High School a most enjoyable summer vacation. KAPPA DELTA SIGMA Kappa Delta Sigma Sorority has finished another successful year. The officers chosen were: Marguerite Sawin, President; Verna Goff, Vice-President; Avis Eaton, Treasurer; Ethel Brine, Secretary. The honorary members are: Miss Ruth MacDuffie and Miss Dorothy Harvey. The sorority has given two very pleasing dancing parties, a theatre and dinner party and numerous private affairs.

MU BETA KAPPA Organized as a purely social club, toward the end of 1922, Mu Beta Kappa has enjoyed its last year in S. H. S. The club is composed of six members of the graduating class: Olive Robie, Eva Mitrano, Dorothy Levy, Marion Rowe, Vivian Crafts, and Jean Whitney nee Gaspar. Our Hallowe’en and Valentine parties were much enjoyed, also delight- ful evenings spent at the homes of the different members. Our sister Jean’s wedding was a very pretty affair. Mu Beta Kappa wishes the members of the faculty and the entire student body a pleasant vacation and much happiness in the years to come. One lliimlreil Twenty-.Hrvrn 3 ratmu ties yj OMICRON FI SIGMA Psi Chapter of Omicron Pi Sigma began its seventh and most suc- cessful year in Somerville with an informal dance in October. The annual dance, on the evening before Thanksgiving, was most successful. The Omicron football team met the Gamma Eta Kappa team at Dilboy Field in early December, and played a most exciting game, resulting in a 0-0 tie. The annual minstrel show, an institution in local fraternity social life, met with great success, and every brother had some part in the produc- tion. A second informal dance was held in February at Fitzedward Bunga- low. Omicron Pi Sigma opened its new apartments in Malta Temple, Gilman Square, in the latter part of February, and held a house-warm- ing party there for parents and friends on the 23rd of March. The first dance in the apartments was held on the 29th of that month and proved successful. Informal dances were also held in the apartment in April, May and June, the last mentioned for members only. In April, Psi Chap- ter was honored by a visit from Ralph Pehrsson, of Springfield, the na- tional vice-president of Omicron Pi Sigma, who praised the work and loyalty of the brothers of Psi. During the spring informal socials were also held at the fraternity apartments. The annual banquet took place on May 11, and further tightened the purple and gold band of friendship. The usual house-party at Nantasket over the week-end of May 30 closed the activities of Psi Chapter for the year, and the brothers looked back upon a year that had drawn them very close together in fraternal spirit and friendship. The members who are leaving school this year carry most pleasant memories of the associations and activities of the year, and leave the earnest hope that success may attend the efforts of the brothers in Omicron Pi Sigma during the year to come. GAMMA ETA KAPPA The Delta Zeta Chapter of Gamma Eta Kappa has just completed one of the most remarkable seasons in the eighteen years of its existence in Somerville. The social season began with a small informal dance, held at the Fitzedward Bungalow, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. This was followed by another informal dance which proved to be equally successful. One llundrnl Twenf j-right The annual formal dance was held at the Heinemann House on De- cember 26, 1922. Commendable music was furnished by one of our own brothers, Frederick Cord. This was one of the big functions of the sea- son. On March 10 the usual district convention and banquet was held at the American House. An unusually large attendance celebrated the forty-first anniversary of the founding of the fraternity. “Us Girls,” the 1923 Gek show, furnished something new in the field of fraternity entertainment in Somerville. This show was written and produced entirely by our fraternity brothers. The fraternity extends its most sincere thanks to members of the various fraternities and sororities, and to the students of Somerville High School who have aided us in making this year a success. Our hopes are for the future prosperity of the faculty and student body of Somerville High School. ALPHA ZETA PHI Alpha Zeta Phi has completed the most successful and profitable season since its founding. Our every activity has met with unequaled success, due to the spirit of our brothers. On October 20, 1922, we began our social activities by a largely at- tended dance, held at Grantanbry Bungalow. The fraternity was so enlarged that bigger and more comfortably furnished quarters were obtained at 124 Highland Avenue. The “Zeta Follies of 1923” were presented on February 8 and 9 at Somerville High School. Over twenty-five hundred people attended, and the show was hailed as the most complete and successful event of the season, due to the earnest endeavor of the young ladies who participated. No expense was spared and the faithful work of our brothers was well rewarded. The seventh annual banquet was held March 20 at the Hotel Vendomc. The guests included Mr. Avery, Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Colman. Alpha Zeta Fhi has not been selfish with its activities, as an in- teresting program from the Follies was given at both the State’s Prison and the Seamen’s Friend Society of Boston. The good luck party was held April 13 at Grantanbry Bungalow and was enjoyed by all present. Mr. Mahoney has joined the fraternity in the capacity of adviser and has proved a big asset. The seventh annual dance was held May 10 at the Heinemann House, and was a success in every sense of the word. The seniors of Alpha Zeta Phi are grateful to the faculty for their kind efforts in our behalf, and wish all our friends the greatest success possible. One Hundred Twenty-nine THETA SIGMA DELTA The Theta Sigma Delta Fraternity has successfully completed its fourteenth year in the Somerville High School. Several dances have been given, aside from the annual dance in No- vember, 1922, all of which have met with success. The fraternity has taken in ten brothers who are doing enviable work in its name. Mr. John L. Hayward and Mr. Lawrence A. Sprague, faculty members, are also members of the Inter-Fraternity Council, Mr. Sprague being the treasurer. The officers for the coming year are: Wallace C. Baxter, President; Aldo Raffa, Vice-President; Edward Aldham, Secretary-Treasurer. The school activities are represented by “Bill” Casey, of the football team; Aldo Raffa, Edward Aldham, and Abraham Jacobson of the Inter-Frater- nity Council; Julius Weiss and Anthony Lemos of the band. The fraternity extends to all its most sincere thanks and appre- ciation of the way in which it has been aided. KAPPA ALPHA PI Gamma Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Pi Fraternity has completed another successful year at Somerville High School. The membership of the chapter has been greatly increased, all the new members being a credit to the fraternity and the school. The “Kappas” have this year as in previous years distinguished them- selves in athletics, and have also been represented on the debating team. Two informal dances were held at Fitzedward Bungalow that were a great success. In January the annual formal dance was held at Heinemann’s. The annual banquet was held the latter part of May at Suntaug Inn, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Gamma Alpha Chapter at Somerville High School. This was the event of the season and the close of the social year. The officers and brothers of Kappa Alpha Pi extend their best wishes to the faculty and pupils for an enjoyable vacation.

The faithful attendance of the mem- bers and their loyalty to the organization, is a feature of which the school may justly be proud. Following the custom of the preceding years, the Glee Club has made its appearance at school assemblies and school activities. It also took part in the exercises of Evening High School graduation. On February 27 a concert was given over the radio at Medford Hill- side, in which the Boys’ Glee Club, together with the Girls’ Glee Club and orchestra, participated. On May 11 the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs presented a cantata, “Hia- watha’s Wedding Feast,” in a delightful manner. This was the principal feature of the year. The close of the school year brings to our minds the consciousness of a successful year, both beneficial and eventful. We wish to extend our appreciation to Mr. McVey for the interest he has shown, and for his helpful instruction. Much appreciation is also due Mr. Plantinga, who is our faculty adviser and organizer.

The following week the first meeting of the club was held and the officers for the ensuing year were elected from the Senior class: President, Cleon Hopkins; Vice-President, Mary Clement; Secretary, DeLancey Cleveland; Treasurer, Priscilla Leach. During the year the club has given two plays in the Assembly Hall: “Why the Chimes Rang,” with a cast consisting of John Tomfohrde, Arthur DePadua, Cleon Hopkins, Stanley Teele, Esther Cohen, Norman Codding and Victoria Atley. This play was repeated in the High School Hall for the benefit of the community by request of the Somerville Teach- ers’ Club. “The Maker of Dreams,” with a cast consisting of DeLancey Cleveland, Greta Hedlund, Arthur DaPrato, Eugene LeSieur and Clara Baker, was also given. After the performance the MacDowell Quartette sang several selections which were enjoyed by all. The quartette con- sists of Mr. John A. Avery, Mr. Charles W. Ellis, Mr. Lyman V. Banks and Mr. Samuel W. Bates. Members of the club have appeared before the West Somerville Eastern Star and the Park Avenue Methodist Church in two plays. In addition to “The Maker of Dreams,” “The Paper Match,” with a cast consisting of Alexander Brown, Irving Spering, Dorothea Farnsworth and Allene Rowe, was given. The club has also broadcasted from Station W. G. I. During the Christmas vacation the club enjoyed a theatre party at the Copley Theatre. The club was introduced to Mr. Sturtevant, the assistant manager, who proved to be a delightful gentleman, who invited the club to enjoy tea with the cast of the play. Under the auspices of the club Mr. Sturtevant addressed the Junior and Senior classes on the dif- ference between the “repertory” and “stock” companies. February 12 the Players’ Club tendered a reception to the faculty as an expression of their appreciation of their many kindnesses. The club members escorted the faculty to the reception line, after which they became “children,” joining in games under the direction of Esther Fisher. The first event was a bowling contest, in which Mr. Avery was the star, who insisted on bowling in all alleys. Mr. Avery lost by eight points in Our I i ii m! red ! 'orl - l favor of Mr. Sears, whose score was eighteen. Miss Bowker won the lady’s prize with a score of eleven. The next event was even more hilari- ous. The object of the game was to throw a tennis ball through a hole in a large red wooden heart. Mr. Hayward, the faculty’s “young reliable pitcher,” failed them, although he tried privately a great number of times. We all saw him. Mr. Small carried off the prize with a score of one. Teach- ers and members of the club then joined in a Virginia Reel, after which re- freshments were served by the young ladies of the club, under the direc- tion of Miss Bell. May 15 the Players’ Club was invited to attend a play presented by the “Three P’s” of Tufts College, after which Professor Lewis ex- plained “behind the scenes,” which proved very interesting. The club owes its present status to the kind co-operation of the faculty with the members of the club. The club has a membership of forty-two, seven being honorary members: Mr. Avery, Miss Bell, Miss Sprague, Miss Bradford, Miss Saunders, Miss Haley and Mr. Miller. The emblem of the club is in the form of a mask, expressing tragedy, with S. H. P. C. across the top. The object of the club is to acquaint the school with better plays, and so help raise the standard of dramatic art. The club has been successful to such a degree as to warrant its continuance next year. CLEON E. HOPKINS, President.

(“Dutch”) Ayer began his athletic career in the Lawrence, (Mass.) 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 ob- tained the position as captain of the relay and hockey teams. After stay- ing a while at Colby he transferred to Springfield to take a course in physi- cal directing. Coach 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 Sta- tion 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. Coach Ayer has given of his best to the school and the school should appreciate it. He has produced two championship baseball teams and put hockey, basket ball and track on a sound basis. We thank him sin- cerely for it.

A LI Edward Jeremiah. Captain Jeremiah has made some wonderful stops this year, also handing in his share of hitting. Francis Hogan. • • • “Gimpty” Hogan has certainly made his mark as home-run king of the league. Daniel McFavden. “Danny” McFayden has been holding down the mound like a big leaguer, holding the strike-out record of the league. Haskell Hillings. Haskell Billings has held his position like a veteran, although only a Sophomore. Walter Kelson. Walter Kelson has made a second “Hick” Crandell for Somerville High. Paul Simpson. Paul Simpson’s consistent hitting has made him one of the team’s most dependable players. Frank Cole. “Frankie” Cole has turned in some fine fielding for the Red and Blue. William Corliss. “Bill” Corliss, regular centre-fielder, has done more than his share of the hitting. William Harrington. “Bill” Harrington has earned his position as regular catcher by his sterling playing. John Maguire. John Maguire, playing right field, has been doing great work with the stick. Thomas Griffin. “Tom” Griffin, a sure fielder and a heavy hitter. John Fannon. “Johnnie” Fannon has come through in the pinches. Clarence Fraser. “Pitter” Fraser, a dependable outfielder and a fast base runner. One 11 ii «l r« «l Sixty-one CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL TEAM Although Somerville nominally won the championship last year, this is our first real championship season for three long years. Too much credit cannot be given the boys, who at the first of the season were con- ceded little or no chance for the cup. A phenomenal school-boy pitcher in McFayden, some real discoveries in the Sophomore ranks in Hogan and Billings, and the vast improvement in the upper classmen on the team, have all worked to bring about the triumph. Captain Jeremiah has led his men well and often injected the winning punch himself. Coach Ayer has not only instructed the team fully in baseball but has given them true sportsmanship. As this book goes to press Somerville has won ten games and lost one. The championship is practically clinched. Let us be justly proud of our team. BASEBALL RECORD Somerville, 5; Arlington, 0.

One llumlrtMl $lxty-(no GOLF This year has seen many new developments in athletics at Somerville High School. New branches of sport have been organized and now nearly everyone can find some field of athletic endeavor. The golf team, begin- ning its career, has every reason to be proud of its record.

Miss Campbell and Miss Burke, the new instructors, were present. The following officers were elected: Bessie M. Smith, President; Rena H. Josie, Vice-President; Inez A. Comstock, Secretary; and Thelma Ferguson, manager of the basket ball teams. Many sports have been taken up. In the Fall field hockey was played at Dilboy Field. During the Winter basket ball was played at the Bing- ham School on every Wednesday and Thursday. Two Junior and Senior teams were formed. In the games that followed the Junior teams tri- umphed over the Seniors. Some of the girls went swimming at the Cambridge “Y,” and hiked at Arlington. Hockey was resumed in the Spring. In April some of the girls went horse-back riding. Since then other groups have gone with great success. The improvement in the association is greatly due to Miss Campbell and Miss Burke’s instruction. The following girls were awarded numerals for their work in basket ball: Rena Josie, Julia O’Connor, Myrtle Ryer, Louise M. Wiggins, Dorothy Obear, Rose D. Wood, Marian E. Rancatore, Celeste Wood, B. Frances Smith, Dorothy Ford, Priscilla Ripley, Mildred Gray, Flora Gordon and Bessie M. Smith. The Girls’ Tennis Club held a tournament in the Fall. The winners were Dorothy Obear and Mary Ransom. In the Spring a second one was played. Ou« Hu ml red Slxty-flve WINNING BOYS’ PHYSICAL TRAINING GROUP DE LANCEV CLEVELAND 73 DeLANCEY CLEVELAND 1923 DeLANCEY CLEVELAND 1923 ©jjpwurtttttg Amaris The Typewriting Department has given more attention than usual this year to the work of the Typewriter House Speed Tests. Perhaps a word of explanation as to the real meaning of these tests would not be amiss. Everyone does not know that when a pupil working for the Royal Cer- tificate, for example, averages 30 words per minute, it means that he has written 450 words in 15 minutes without error from material that he has never seen before, or it means that he has written perhaps 500 words with 5 errors, 10 words for each error being deducted from the total number of words written. An error may be a misspelled word, a strikeover, an omission, wrong spacing, etc. Thirty words is the minimum amount for any award except the Remington Certificate (given for 25 words), which can be taken only by pupils who have had a certain limited amount of typewriting periods. Since most of our pupils begin typewriting in the Junior High Schools, this requirement prevents most of them from qualifying for the tests in the Junior year of typewriting. Both the Royal and Remington Typewriter Companies insist on 5 errors as a maximum. It can be readily seen, therefore, that the tests aim to promote accuracy. It has been possible to give comparatively little time to practising for tests, owing to the fact that in the Junior and Senior year much time is spent upon tran- scription and other work. It will perhaps be noticed from the figures given below that many pupils have received more than one award. This has been made possible by changing about the typewriter equipment in the three rooms at certain intervals, giving pupils a working knowledge of three machines and an opportunity to qualify for each award. The first set of figures shows the total awards for the year; the second set, the awards earned by the Seniors. Following that are the names of pupils receiving awards from March 1 to June 8 inclusive.
