JOHNNY GROWS UP (Continued from Page 7) “Why! that thing?” he said, “that’s a regu- lar jazz ‘cake-eater’s’ suit. Put that away.” But Johnny was persistent and would not even try on his father’s choice. The clerk sided with Johnny and helped him greatly. Mr. Jor- dan was inclined to think that the clerk sided with Johnny because their choice cost more. Johnny won eventually and the suit was done up in a box and paid for. The next morning the sun beat Johnny in The following officers and committees were elected:— President..................Gladys Herderhurst Vice-President...............Anthony DiCecca Secretary....................Lillian Corrieri Treasurer....................Eugene LeSieur Entertainment Committee Eugene LeSieur Miss Abbott Miss Dunning Miss Hutchinson Hospitality Committee Miss McAnern Miss Peterson Miss Moore Miss Brown Rules and Regulation Committee Miss Dacy Anthony Forte Miss Andarson Miss Manning Roll Call Miss Lima Radiator Representative Miss Helen Walsh rising by only a few minutes. In dressing he put on his short stockings with much pride, and selected the latest addition to his gaudy collection of neckties. He wore his best shirt which was usually saved for Sunday, and the time he spent combing his hair and washing gave him little time to eat his breakfast, which he swallowed hurriedly. He took his hat and books on the run, slam- ming the door behind him, and as his mother watched him sorrowfully from the window as he trod on air, she realized he was no longer her little boy.

The alarm re- sembles the horn of an automobile in sound and shape. Have you heard it? If not, you will have no trouble in recognizing it. Somerville is certainly proud of its football team. It is a snappy fighting team. It looks promising. It needs the support of the entire student body. Turn out to the games, and above all show your class spirit in cheering. Some of the cheers are published in the ath- letic notes. Learn them and use them. The Radiator would like more interesting stories. Students, take advantage of this op- portunity. Material may be passed to the following before the first Thursday of each month: Miss Gatchell, Room 201; Gretta Hed- lund, Room 113; Kenneth Campbell, Room 103, or a little later to your class editors. Pass all alumni notes to Constance Garrod or Elizabeth Madison, Room 113. The next issue of the Radiator will be a Shakespeare Folio Memorial Number. THE TIE THAT BINDS (Continued from Page 8) At the boat landing Margaret felt weak and dizzy. She took her friend’s arm to steady her- self as they made their way to the gang plank. There was only a short time before the hour of sailing. Dorothy went on deck to watch the crowds on the wharf, but Margaret, plead- ing a headache, remained in the stateroom. When she was left alone she threw herself down on the lower berth and burst into tears. What was the matter with her? Here she was, about to go on a trip to Europe, the desire of her young life, and she was miserable, sick in mind and body. Her cheeks were flushed, her head ached, and she was decidedly unhappy.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 11 f Life isajestandall tblng sbo soopce but now 1 hm itT- Gay. ® GOOD NIGHT If you love a person, Say good-night, When he goes to sleep. For the grip Of sleep, the Little Death, is hard: Some morning bright It may not let him go. And for a friend to leave, And no farewell be said, is sad. The memory of it lingers long. Always say good-night. —J. Holmes. THE SEEKERS The men made restless by their dreams, Seeking, and ever seeking still For that which they have seen in part In dreams; whose waking life a vision fills; These are the men, the dreaming men, Who seek, and in their tireless quest Make some small part of vision real; Who toil, and know not idleness or rest; Who look above the little things, Themselves made greater by their sight Of destiny, and who go hand in hand With Wisdom, Death is part of dream To these, fulfillment of the far seen plan. RAIN The rush of rain makes thunder on the roof, And runs in little splashing rills All down the walks, and from my bed I see it patter on the window pane, And drip and trickle down the sills. A YOUTH There is no one Who likes to talk about himself More than a youth, Being more ego than anything else, And yet (strange contradiction) There is no one who condemns Over much praise of self Quicker than a youth. THE THOUGHT OF YOU When storm clouds gray Are blown away A patch of blue Comes shining through. —J. Holmes. THE FORGOTTEN HERO When a stately tree is felled, And carries in its mighty downward sweep Surrounding smaller trees, and crashes To the ground, a prone and broken thing. The echoes run and bear the tale In accents long and sad and deep, Unto the hills, and back, And back again, and ever fainter, Till the final whisper dies away. MORNING At morning, when I just awake, I lie awhile And think of things that happened yesterday, And smile, and rub from sleep-bewildered eyes The drowsiness, and, driving sleep away, I laughing rise to greet the sun And new adventures of the day. —J. Holmes.
