18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT The School Libraries By Marion Grimes For the benefit of the newer members of the Somerville High School, it has been sug- gested that this opportunity be used for the purpose of introducing our two school libra- ries. It is necessary that they should be distin- guished, in as much as their books and informa- tion are quite different. The West Library is situated on the second floor of the West Building. This library con- tains books for reference work in literature, drama and art; lives and works of famous writ- ers, commerce and industry, salesmanship, do- mestic science, fiction and magazines. Some of the most useful reference books are: Bartlett’s “Familiar Quotations,” Brewer’s “Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,” “The World Almanac,” “Chronological Outlines of English Literature,” Granger’s “Index to Poetry and Recitations.” “Century Cyclopedia of Names,” “New International Encyclopedia,” Larned’s “History for Ready Reference and Topical Reading,” and Garnett and Gosse’s “Illustrated History of English Literature.” The magazines are very beneficial to all who read them, as they are associated with the business, scientific, commercial and industrial life of the nation, with current events and lit- erature. Some of the most popular are: “The Atlantic Monthly,” “Commercial Education,” “System,” “The Outlook,” “Review of Re- views,” “Popular Mechanics,” “Science and Invention,” “American Industries,” “World’s Work,” “Literary Digest” and “Current His- tory.” The East Library, located on the second floor of the East Building, contains different ma- terial. History is the dominating subject, al- though some biographies and encyclopedias may be found there. The books of history are those of Egypt, Greece and Rome, mediaeval history, as well as modern European and American history. There are also lives of famous historians, statesmen and orators of ancient times. JOKES (Continued from Page 15) “I have a fine job now.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 Somerville’s football men at the time of writing, October 4, have been out for about three weeks, and although no games have yet been played, the men show a lot of strength, particularly defensive. The line is mostly made up of veterans and is heavier than last year. The backfield shows a lot of promise, but the team is handicapped by the lack of a consistently good punter. Sev- eral men have been tried, but no one has been uncovered yet to hold the job regularly. The final cut was made on the second of October and left a squad of thirty-five or forty men. On October 3 Somerville scrimmaged Tufts varsity and held them to three touchdowns. Tufts has a fast, heavy team this year, and Somerville did well to play them as close as that. Our team was outweighed eighteen or twenty pounds to the man. Snell, a husky tackle; Campbell at guard, and Bergin, the Southern star, playing centre, broke through the Tufts line several times and nipped plays. Breen gave promise of being able to fill Danny McFayden’s shoes in passing, when he threw two long passes, one to Fraser and the other to Crosby. Bob Rogers pulled of! a long run. The defensive star for Somerville was Vinny Cronin, quarter. Although the lightest man on the team, he tossed the big Tufts backs right and left. Somerville may not earn the championship, but the team is going to provide some good fighting football and finish, if not first, then The red and blue has a lot of fast backs in Hogan, Breen, Rogers, Cronin, Goodspeed, Hoit and Ounes. Crosby, the former Arlington star, and Kilty make a great pair of ends. They are both fast covering punts and are great defensive players. Coach Ayer is fortunate to have a wealth of good rules to use during the season. The regular line-up seems to be Crosby and Kilty, ends; Captain Fraser and Snell, tackles; Campbell and Harrington or Haggerty, guards; Bergin, centre; and Cronin, Hogan, Breen and Rogers, backs. Bergin is small and light for a centre, but he can break through and smear plays as well as a fellow twice his size. The opening game is with Lawrence. Coach Ayer especially wants to make a good show- ing in this game because Lawrence is his home town. A. Sloane Tel. Som. 7890 Davis $q. florist “Say It With Flowers” MEMBER OF F. T. I).
