SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 1923 William Stevens—Editor. Miriam Gordon—Assistant Editor. Seniors! At last we have the privilege of an- swering to that name. We have the smallest class in numbers, in the school, but don’t let it be the smallest in activities. Show some class spirit:— 1. By subscribing to the Radiator. 2. By contributing to this column. We can have the best column in the Radiator if we have the co-operation of the class. Pass all material to the room representative or bring it to Room 106, seat 67. Results of the Senior elections: President, Rollo Lewis; Vice-President, Fayette Haskell; Secretary, Inez Comstock; Treasurer, Harry Hurley; Editor. William Stevens; Assistant Editor, Miriam Gordon. Get behind the officers and strive to make this, our last year at Somerville High School, the most successful year of all. Seniors prominent on the football team: Henry Blackman, Edward Jeremiah, Adelbert Morrill, John O’Neill, Chester Mattern, John Wells, Rollo Lewis. Don’t forget to remember the S. H. S. A.

PROVIDENCE TECH SOMERVILLE VS1 LAWRENCE Fred Twomey’s 80-yard run for a touchdown turned defeat into victory for the Lawrence High School football team at O’Sullivan Park, Lawrence, September 30, Lawrence winning 7 to 3. 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.

SOMERVILLE Somerville defeated the Dean Academy sec- ond team 22-0 at the George Dilboy Fieid Oc- tober 12. Somerville’s forward passing game was too much for the Academy team, and, while fum- bles might be expected because of the wet day and slippery ball, Dean made more than its share. Somerville made seven first downs to Dean’s three. Dean was penalized twice as much as Somer- ville for illegal playing. The game:— SOMERVILLE DEAN 1. e., Kelty r. e., Schutt 1. t., Frazer r. t., Smith (Continued on Page 21.)

20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1924 Kenneth Campbell—Editor. Hester Smith—Assistant Editor. Cheer up! Only one more year and we’ll be “Kings and Queens of the Universe.” Is the Junior Class going to be 100 per cent, strong in Radiator subscriptions? Let’s set the first-year class a good example and give the Seniors something to think about. I’d like to be a Senior And on the first floor roam. And not have Mr. Pearson say “Go up two flights home.” The Junior Class is well represented in foot- ball. The following from our class make up the football team: Eraser, tackle; Harrington, tackle; Casey, guard; Kilty, end; Haggerty, guard; McFayden, halfback; Rogers, fullback. S. H. Regular S. H. S.

The chief topic of conversation with Juniors now is: “Why the third floor again?” “Three flights a day—Keeps the doctor away.” The results of the Junior elections were: Leslie Thompson, president; Esme Lucas, vice- president; Evelyn Thompson, secretary; Har- ris Neil, treasurer; Kenneth Campbell, editor, and Hester Smith, assistant editor.
