FAY WARREN, ’27 i THE NEW CITY HAU Photo by Harlan F. (Jrant V.Z r W2.4-? g;joj ()() SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S The Radiator extends its greetings to its old friends among the teachers, to Seniors and to Juniors, and welcomes cordially the Sopho- more class and the new teachers. May this school year be a prosperous one for all and yield nothing but success. The High School students appreciate the im- provements that have been made on Central Hill this summer. Since the close of the World War, when so much of the lawn was ploughed up for gardens, the hill has looked very un- kempt. But this fall we see only well-kept lawns and attractive flower-beds and many flourishing shrubs and trees, and we can now walk from one end of the park to the other on new cement walks. The new City Hall is a dignified structure and compares favorably with any in Greater Boston. The interior decorations of the Cen- tral Library are worthy of much praise. But that which interests us particularly are the im- provements made in Clayton Ellis Hall, our auditorium. The new panelling in beautiful grained oak and the newly tinted walls have given a warmth and richness that before was quite lacking. The condition of the hall and of the grounds depends largely upon us. Let us keep them looking their best. The Radiator offers its congratulations to� our newly-elected class officers, and assures them of its hearty co-operation. May we all remember that “majority rules,” and though you may not have voted for the approved, it is the fair and square thing to co-operate with them. You are the minority, and it is no more than you would expect if your candidate had been elected. How about it? The frontispiece of this number is an en- largement of a picture taken by Harian Grant, 1925. His photograph was the best among many that were passed in, and he is now the Radiator photographer, a new office. We hope to publish other photographs dur- ing the year. Frank Calandrella, 1925, whose theme printed in this issue won the prize offered last spring by the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union for the eleventh and twelfth grades in Somerville, recently received a letter of con- gratulation from Superintendent Charles S. Clark, for his fine work. This theme on smoking was chosen for its originality and personal touch, differing from most of the “cut and dried” variety dealing with uninteresting facts. OUG -3 '925 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 6 Smoking and High School Scholarship By Frank X. Caiandrella, 1925 had been raining all day, and when jSjgi tpaj I had come home from school and IjSSglgS had dung my books on the table KSgjWJg in a fury of disgust, I walked up and down the room in that temper of mind which enables one to brow- beat the nearest person one meets. Finally I ceased my restless pacing and sat down gloomily on a chair. I opened one of my books in a listless manner, and my vacant eye gazed on a little paper which told me that I had an essay to prepare on “The Evils of To- bacco to a High School Student.” “Now,” I exclaimed, “can’t those teachers think of something else to pester me about than this evil?” I fingered the paper in an idle manner, and my memory brought back to my reminiscent mood that early period of my life when I had had a nauseous and never-to-be-forgotten ex- perience with one of my father’s cigars. Oh! my stomach turns when I think of it even now. The thought of that time brought a smile to my face and in a dash my irritability was gone. But still, although I viewed the essay as one of those things that doesn’t mean much, my mind had become fascinated with the subject, and before I knew it I had promised myself that I would ask my father for some light on the matter. When we were at supper I said: “Say, Pa, why is it that so many people smoke?” “Habit, son, just habit,” he replied. But I wasn’t satisded, so I ventured to say: ‘“Well, why can’t they break themselves of the habit ?” “Well, you see, son, they smoke a little at first, then a little more, until finally the habit just naturally a—er—oh, say why are you so anxious to probe into my knowledge of a smok- er’s habits?” “You see, Pa,” I returned easily, “the teach- ers at school want to know why the subject should be brought to the attention of a high school student.” “Do you know why?” I answered in the negative and he said- “Because they are the ones, above all others, who need enlightenment as to the insidious in- fluence of tobacco.” With this pithy opinion my father drew behind his paper. I pondered a while, and com- ing to no satisfactory explanation of his am- biguous reply, merrily and with supreme cour- age assaulted his newspaper. “Why, dad, do high school students need en- lightenment above all others?” He poked his head up from the paper, looked at me steadily for a second, sighed deeply, took off his glasses and put his paper in a place where he wouldn’t be able to find it again. After these preparations he folded his hands, leaned back in his chair and propounded in a solemn tone of voice, learned dissertations on the evils of tobacco. “You ask me, son, why high school students need enlightenment above all others in regard to the noxious influence of tobacco. First of all, you as a high school boy and others of your age are on the threshold of manhood, you are growing every day both physically and men- tally. In your studies in school you need all your powers of concentration if you expect to pass your examinations, you certainly do. Now you know that there are certain injurious elements in the composition of tobacco. Men whose minds are greater than ours have found this to be true, that these elements play havoc with the minds and systems of young men, and also have found that tobacco costs money and that, of course, empties your pocketbook of money which might have been well invested. “But that is nothing in comparison to how it affects one’s health. You remember Sam Jackson, the old plumber who suffered from stomach trouble a great number of years? When he went to a specialist the first thing the doctor asked him was if he was an habitual smoker. Sam replied: ‘Yes.’ “ ‘Say no more,’ said the doctor, ‘there lies the base of all your trouble,’ and after Sam had gradually stepped smoking there was a marked improvement in his health and ability to do his daily work. “And as for me, I am troubled with a rack- ing cough. Do you know what caused it? To- bacco. When I inhale the smoke of my cigar, the poisons it contains inflame and irritate the delicate lining of my lungs and bronchial tubes. When I am in bed at night, the act of breathing being more difficult in a supine po- sition, causes the excessive amount of saliva in my throat, which is due, you understand, (Continued on Page 10) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR T A Scientific Bungle Bv Donald T. Bring, 1925 OW he got there he did not know. It is sufficient to say that he was there. He possessed a somewhat hazy idea that he had come from another world. That did not mat' ter. What did matter was the fact that he was hungry. Very hungry. In fact, although he did not know it. he had traveled over sixteen billion miles since last dining. Casting his glance over the nearly barren sur- face of his resting place, his eye fell on the battered remains of a huge rocket. Suddenly a glimmer of understanding came into his tired eyes. From the pocket of his overcoat he pulled a worn copy of the New York Times for April 16, 1963. Covering the greater part of the front page was an article informing the world that:— “John Simeon Simpkins, Jr., the renowned young scientist, will today set off in a specially constructed rocket in an endeavor to reach the moon. Dr. Simpkins will carry with him especially prepared scientific instruments, in- cluding a powerful radio set of the latest type, made by the S. S. Kresge Company of Boston.” With a satisfied smile Sim, as he was called by these of his friends who managed to pene- trate his armor of serene imperturbability, re- placed the paper in his pocket. The “powerful radio set of the latest type” lay scattered in as many parts as the latest model of Henry Ford’s “aids to pleasure and transportation’’ are after a few months of ser- vice. He pulled from his pocket a high tension chronometer in which was incorporated a cal- endar and an alarm clock, made especially for the trip by the foremost and best watchmakers in New England, at the Ingersoll factory in Waterbury, Connecticut. It was then high noon of the twelfth. He had started at seven that morning. From the aforementioned battered remains of his rocket he extracted a package of ham sandwiches and a speedometer. The speedo- meter registered 16,000,000,008 miles. He fell to munching the ham sandwiches and calculat- ing his distance from the earth. After a great deal of deliberation and consulting various charts and maps, he finally arrived at the con- clusion that he was not on the moon, but on the planet Startus. The name Startus sounded familiar. “Where,” said he. “have I heard that name before?” Suddenly he remembered. In an old scientific journal for 1931 there had been an article on the planets which were thought to be inhabited. The article, if he remembered rightly, had stated that this planet was in- habited by a race of savages, very fierce and warlike, in which case it behooved Sim to find a shelter which might be defended from at- tack. Why he had not looked farther than the immediate vicinity he did not know, for, as he rounded a clump of bushes he beheld a small hill, near the top of which was a stream of clear cool water. He immediately decided to make this the site of his home. He felt rather tired after the journey and excitement and so, postponing further improvements in his- condition, he made a couch of branches and retired. On the following day he spent a busy morn- ing transporting the contents of the rocket and the pieces of that vehicle up to the sum- mit of the hill. From the luggage compart- ment in the rear of the rocket he took four small trunks. The first contained his cloth- ing and personal effects. He set this to one side of the trail out of his way. The second contained food supplies, and this he took care to place within easy reach. The other two he opened when he had deposited them on the top of the hill. First he took out a vest pocket cement mixer, which with the utmost care he set up in the stream below the spring, in order to utilize the water power. Next came a com- plete electrical plant weighing only ten pounds but which could generate, using the same stream for power, enough electrical current for a small town. From the last trunk he took a. series of very thin aluminum plates, which he fastened together to form a fair-sized hut con- taining two small rooms. When the work of putting this together was completed, he set the tiny cement mixer to work while he col- lected rocks of various sizes. The completion of a well cemented enclosure of stone, surround- ing his aluminum heme, marked the end of his second day’s labor, and it was with a more se- cure feeling that he retired to rest. By noon of the third day he had strung a wire fence around the house, and a spring which could at will be charged with sufficient electricity to electrocute persons, and enlarged SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR $ his food supply with fruits from neighboring trees and some wild rice. He had not, however, seen any trace of savages. Two miles away great preparations were be- ing made for the wedding of Chief Oompah and the captive daughter of one of the gods of Mars. This unfortunate deity had in a reck- less moment cast aside his magic protection and tried living on Startus, bringing his beau- tiful daughter with him. Oompah, upon see- ing her, had straightway longed to add her to his seventeen other wives. Her father, protest- ing, had been speared by Oompah’s men before he could invoke the aid of his divine brethren. The unfortunate girl was almost immediately ordered to prepare for her wedding. She was left alone for a minute or two, and in a sudden desperate resolve, she lifted the back of the unguarded grass hut and stole forth into the night. Once clear of the hut she ran for her freedom. In the meantime Simeon, little realizing the important events which were transpiring with- in a few miles of him, had succeeded in put- ting together the battered parts of his radio set. and was trying to hear some of the sta- tions on the earth. He was getting W. G. Y. at Schenectady, when there broke upon his ears the most horrible barking that he had ever heard. He had just removed the phones from his head, and thrown the switch turn- ing the power into the wire fence, when the door burst open and into the room staggered a girl, her clothing torn and flesh scratched by the bushes and vines. With an agonized cry of relief she hurled herself into his arms and fainted. Sim was at a loss to know what to do. He had a feeling that this sort of thing was not exactly conventional, but as for a solu- tion of the problem, he had none. The bark- ing had suddenly stopped, so seizing two Ro- man candles which he had brought, he rushed out into the enclosure, leaving the girl, par- tially recovered, on a bench made of two of the trunks. Oompah, entering the girl’s hut a few min- utes after her departure, discovered her ab- sence. Calling his henchman, Snyderglob, he ordered him to summon the dogs. Oompah prided himself on two things, his wives and his dogs. Of the former he had seventeen and of the latter seventy. 11 is pack was the fiercest and best on the planet, and was used chiefly to subdue or pursue his seventeen wives when, in fits of anger or jealousy, they ran away. The dogs were now put upon the trail of the runaway and followed by Oompah alone, as usually was the case in his matrimonial con- quests, gained rapidly upon the fugitive. They were almost upon her when she beheld the strange hut with the light in the windows, and utilizing the last of her ebbing strength she pressed forward. Just as she stumbled between the strands of the wire fence the current was turned on, and fifty-five of the dogs following behind her sprang at the wire and were in- stantly killed. The remaining fifteen, seeing the fate of their comrades, stood for a minute in open-mouthed astonishment and then fled. When Oompah came up a minute later and saw fifty-five of his pet dogs hanging on the wire he went post haste for his tribe. They arrived in a remarkably short time greatly out of breath, just as Simeon emerged from the doorway with his two giant Roman candles. The savages, seeing him, rushed forward, but Sim, lighting one of the candles, turned it full upon them. Not being able to understand this force which sent balls of fire chasing them, they turned and fled, Oompah in the lead, stumbling over stones and brush in his mad rush. Believing himself rid of the savages Sim re- entered the hut. The girl, now fully recovered, welcomed him thankfully, and implored him to name his desire that she might serve him. “I would like,” said Simeon, “to return to the earth and take you with me. Ah, if it were possible.” He turned, but the hut no longer held another occupant. Puzzled he beheld the girl in the doorway, her hands raised as if in supplication. Her face was lifted and there was a smile upon it. Suddenly she turned and came toward him. “My prayer will be answered,” she exclaimed. “We will soon be on the earth, how? I do not know.” The New York Times for April 20, 1963, in- formed the world that:— Professor John Simeon Simpkins, Jr., the young man who, in the interest of science, es- sayed a trip to the moon, has returned to the earth. He reports that he did not reach the moon but the planet Startus. How he returned to earth he is unable to explain, as his rocket was demolished in the landing on the planet. He believes that it was through the aid of di- vine assistance, but, while we do not wish to argue with such a learned man as Dr. Simp- kins, we are skeptical. We learn that Dr. Simp- kins has just purchased the Snow estate at 11 Westwood road, where he will reside with his wife from Startus. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 With the Faculty This Summer It is always interesting after the two-months vacation to know what the faculty, as well as the pupils, have been doing during that time, whether they were traveling, studying, work- ing or just “vacationing” like many of us.

Mr. and Mrs. MacLaren are temporarily residing in Can- ton, where Mr. MacLaren has charge of an en- gineering project for his firm. Mrs. MacLaren for the present will continue to teach in the English department. SMOKING AND HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLAR- SHIP (Continued from Page G) to smoking, to interfere with my respiration, and there lies the cause of my cough. “As I have said, you need to be keen and alert in school, and it is bound to interfere with your mental progress. “In athletics, smoking is extremely harm- ful. A learned professor discovered that in one institution, eleven habitual smokers tried for the football team but only two, mind you, suc- ceeded, whereas, out of nineteen non-smokers who tried, eleven won places. So there you can see for yourself. I hope you won’t ever smoke, my son. It’s a nasty habit. If a smoker could smell his own breath he would never touch to- bacco again. The best synonym I can think of for a cigarette—a cigarette especially—is a coffin-nail. And when you once get the habit it’s almost impossible to break it. “Of course, my boy, when you are a full- grown and well-developed man of the proper age, you can smoke with safety. I started smoking very young, but the saddest thing about a young fellow beginning to smoke is his belief that he can quit the practice any old time, but he can’t, because I know from per- sonal experience. But now where did I put that—?” And I left my father looking for his paper. As I walked to my room I resolved to abstain from smoking forever. Sunrise By Clarence Ingalls, 1925 OWARD the orient the horizon grew SsH lighter. A cock crowed on the farm on t le r sht; another answered from the farm on the left. Their hearse cries seemed to come from very far away. The stars, imper- ceptibly paling, disappeared in the immense vault of the sky. The little cry of a bird rose somewhere in the distance. Twitterings, timid at first, came from the leaves; then they grew bolder, became vibrating, joyous, spreading from branch to branch and from tree to tree. I suddenly per- ceived myself to be in a ray of light, and was almost dazzled by the splendor of the dawn. A mountain of empurpled clouds cast hues of blood upon the awaking earth. And sud- denly, bursting asunder the gleaming clouds, touching with fire the trees, the plains, the ocean, all the horizon, the great flaming globe appeared. The sun! the dawn! the beginning of life! the rising of hopes! Oh! fellow schoolmates, may your school life be as beautiful and helpful as the superb glory of the dawning day. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 11 The following Somerville High School boys have been awarded scholarships for the aca- demic year 1924-25 in Harvard College: S. H. S.. 1924, Harvard, 1928: Noobar Danielian, Samuel M. Dupertuis, Charles P. Englehardt, Joseph Pacifici, Charles K. Ranger, Richard C. Wal- dron. Dupertuis has received the Somerville scholarship, founded by Dr. George L. Baxter, for so many years principal of the Somerville High and the Somerville Latin Schools. S. H. S., 1923; Harvard, 1927: Arnold H. Engborg, Samuel Taylor. Richard J. Walsh, Louis Levinson. Walsh has the credit of re- ceiving the grade of A in English A, a marked achievement in the Freshman year. S. H. S., 1922; Harvard, 1926: Lawrence L. Daggett, Albert G. Forbes. S. H. S., 1921; Harvard, 1925: Andrew C. Berry, Gustav A. Hedlund, John G. Murphy. Out-of-course: Paul J. Hanlon. For all men in the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes the award of a scholarship means the recognition of a very high grade of work, since after the Freshman year no man is allowed to receive financial aid whose grades do not average FI or better. Surely honor is in some degree reflected upon our school, where the sixteen boys prepared for Harvard, and the school can well feel a debt of gratitude to Harvard for so generously assisting our faith- ful and able students. MANDOLIN CLUB The Mandolin Club has commenced this year very successfully with the following officers: Marion Knight, president; Monroe Burbank, vice-president and treasurer; Eleanor Packard, secretary and librarian. This year there are twenty-nine members enrolled in the club. The new Sophomores are as follows: Lillian Silliker, Jerry Caso, Kenneth Butterfield, Manuel Lima and Janet Putnam. SPANISH CLUB. . .The Spanish Club held its first meeting of the year September 20. The officers for this year are as follows: Cecilia Viveiros, president; An- tony Forte, vice-president; Ruth Covert, secre- tary; Richard Bollard, treasurer. The following committees were chosen: Rules and Regulations Committee—-Evelyn Hutchinson, Lillian Corrieri, Jerry Caso. Entertainment Committee—Gladys Herder- hurst, Veda Lohnes. Hospitality Committee—Mary Hogan, Edna Elder, Joseph Bollard. The number enrolled is not large, but a cam- paign has been started to secure more mem- bers, especially Sophomores, inasmuch as there are only ten in the club at present. With the very helpful co-operation of the Spanish teachers wc hope to make this year even more successful than last. CHESS CLUB The results of the election of the Chess Club are as follows: James Reed, captain of the team: Wesley Dupertuis, president of the club; David Warsowe, secretary; Edward Fenn, treasurer. Last year Somerville won the cup and we are going to do our best to have it again this year. Manuel Lima. Harold Greenough, Arthur Affannato and Henry Taylor are the Sophomore members. Eighty-five pupils have elected debating. ORCHESTRAS Both of our orchestras are starting this year with extra large membership. The first or- chestra has thirty-one members, the only Sophomore being Frances Bonney. The second orchestra, of about fifty, is composed mostly of Sophomores. 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Poetry Dean C. Swan, Jr. We welcome and print upon the poetry page of this first issue of the Radiator, several poems which exemplify the high standards that have been maintained in this department in its in- fancy the previous year, under the competent guidance of John Holmes. The poetry page is relatively new to the Radiator. It is young, the product of the younger generation. It shows and illustrates the growing appreciation among that generation for the higher and loftier ideals which only poetry, the beautiful language of all time, can express. Notice the soothing effect to be gained from the lulling of soft sounding words in Charles Jellison’s poem, “Sunset,” and then in con- trast mark the startling emphasis and beauty of the swaying, rhythmic force in Beatrice Mann’s “Valkyrie.” These poems merit the appreciation of our readers. “The Flag,” by Eva Monk, is of peculiar and exceptionally pleasing style and structure. It abounds in beautiful sentiment and tributes to Old Glory. Frank J. Calandrella’s poems, “Paradox” and “Night and No Return,” are splendid examples of free verse and furnish the reader material for further thought. These poems should prove the means of in- spiring others to evidence their appreciation by submitting poetry of their own. Should we find at the close of the coming school term that we have succeeded in encouraging former lovers of poetry to further appreciation and that our page is instrumental in the formation of new and lasting acquaintances with the more beautiful thoughts of life, as expressed in poetry, we shall feel convinced that the poetry page has fulfilled its mission! PARADOX Voice issuing from the body Low, low and melodious Then growing, straining From the breast. Crying to whom, expressing what? O Singer, your mellow voice Breaks something within me. But when I hear you again T’is-the same. What is it within me That breaks, but is never broken? Frank J. Calandrella. THE VALKYRIE Swords dripping with red blood, Men reeking with life-blood. Beards tossing, shields clashing, Ground spotted with red. Ho! come I souls seeking, Dead warriors seeking To bear to Valhalla Where dwell hero-dead. Flash, lightning! crash, thunder! Leap higher, ye tides! Shriek, scream shrill, ye tempest. A Valkyrie rides! Hair streaming in stormwind, Gold tossed in the whirlwind, Steeds’ hoofs striking fire-sparks Wherever they touch; Mail flashing through darkness, Bright silver through blackness; Blue eyes darting lightning As onward we rush. Flash, lightning! crash, thunder! Leap higher, ye tides! Shriek, scream shrill, ye tempest. A Valkyrie rides! Over plain, over mountain, O’er valley and fountain, O’er fjord walled by grim crags, O’er storm-troubled sea. Steed’s mane tossing wildly, I speed on, undaunted, Souls seeking for Odin, Wherever they be. Flash, lightning! crash, thunder! Leap higher, ye tides! Shriek, scream shrill, ye tempest. A Valkyrie rides! Beatrice E. Mann, 1925. NIGHT AND NO RETURN I wait under the trees for you. love, And high up, near the sky, they cry. Is not the fighting over, love. Or has the winged death Poured the red o’er your breast? I stretch out my arms, love, But only the wind sobs into them. Frank J. Calandrella. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 THE FLAG I am your flag, The outward and visible sign Of the great spirit of a nation. I stand for all things Wonderful and God-fostered: Freedom, education, safety. I stand for all things Wonderful and man-revered; Power, wealth and beauty. I am the poetry Of tall, rugged mountains, Rearing lovely pinnacles to God. 1 am the wonder Of great singing cities, Chanting understanding unto God. I am the grandeur Of far wheat-sown plains, Kneeling in their pureness to our God. I am the symphony Of bird-filled cathedrals, Raising perfumed aisles of trees to God. All these things am I, your flag. I am the Holy Grail Of old world peasantry, Seeking freedom and book-learning. I am the wand of the world, Enchanting ignorance away Into the imagery of knowledge. I am the spirit Of parthenons of learning. I am the goddess Of justice and truth and light. I am the spirit Of fearless Americans, Swift as running Olympians In the path of truth. I am your flag, The outward and visible sign Of the spirit of a nation. Eva Monk, 1926 SUNSET There’s a dull red glow in the west to-night. There are great blue clouds in the sky so bright. There’s a soft, warm breeze blowing from the sea, And the drowsy waters are as silent as can be. I can hear the grey gulls crying as the sun sinks low, And the water’s rippling laughter on the sand. I can hear the ship’s clock tolling the knell of parting day, While the church bells answer on the land. I can see the vagrant schooner come cutting through the bay; Making for its haven ere the close of day. Now it drops its briny anchor in the bay so deep and still, And the tired sun sinks softly behind the dark’ning hill. And the cannon’s echoing thunder attends him to his rest, While the timid mother sea-gull is frightened from her nest. And a thousand lights are burning in the homes along the shore. As the twinkling stars in heaven come to light the earth once more. Charles Jellison. A Message to Somerville High School Pupils From a letter written by Bagdasar Krekor Baghdigian, Somerville High School, 1911, and dated September 28, 1924, we copy the follow- ing extracts, knowing they will interest any of his friends who read them, the pupils who, like himself, are foreign-born, and all who re- joice in another’s accomplishment. “There is much fun, not in occupying a place made for you by someone, but in blazing a new trail. Please give my love to your boys and girls. Tell them to be kind to foreign-born students, and help make things pleasanter for them. Tell them they themselves are the mes- sengers of the spirit of America, and that that message is delivered in deeds of thoughtful- ness and kindness, rather than in mere words. “America has a great mission for humanity. That mission will only be fulfilled when Ameri- cans have become conscious of America’s task, and exemplify Americanism in their everyday activities.’’ Mr. Baghdigian is director of a counsel bureau, established to help meet the needs of the foreign-born, in Kansas City, Missouri. Last summer he had a trip to the Pacific Coast, lecturing with the Ellison-White Chautauqua, and he is the author of two booklets, “No Half- Hearted Loyalty” and “Americanism at Work.” 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7VOTFS OF THE A LVMNI CATTPCELL-08 1924 Esmc Lucas is bookkeeper for the Mack Motor Company, Somerville.

Sophomores: Wake up to the fact that Rooms 100 and 200 do not exist for you. We should all be proud of the extreme honesty of a certain member of 110, who was heard to remark when entering his room at 9.35: “I am late.” Special for the lunch-room! High School sandwich! Sophomore filling, queer, fresh and tangy. Senior and Junior crusts. Try it. A Sophomore’s idea of hard work—To spend fifteen minutes of a period looking for a cer- tain room, to use the next ten minutes making up his mind to enter the classroom, and enter- ing to find to his dismay (?) that there is a mistake in his program. During a certain Latin period a boy who was asked to give a translation of the phrase “bonae leges caesaris,” gave the following re- ply: “The bony legs of Caesar.” We of 115 feel that we should be considered a very gamy room, inasmuch as some members have taken the habit of playing chess during the lunch recess. We considered this a rather wonderful circumstance, until some of us learned that two of the martyrs, being one night unable to go to each other’s house, played the game over the telephone—which by the way is now out of order. The first Senior assembly of music was held Thursday, September 25, 1924. Mr. Tuttle opened the assembly with the remark that the filing was an improvement over the previous assembly of the Seniors in the hall. Mr. Mc- Vey spent the rest of the time testing the boys’ voices, and from the noises which came from the stage, we are led to believe that not over three-fourths of them will ever be opera sing- ers. A bright pupil made the following remark in history: “It is very interesting to know that the Pilgrims’ compact was signed only by the male men and not by the women.” Joseph Calandrella, after devouring Dryden, Voltaire and Bernard Shaw, still seeks satire. All contributions gratefully received. Room 115 is very proud to possess a young dramatist. Miss Ruth Chambers of that room has shown marked ability in writing one-act plays. Room 115 reached the goal of 100% sub- scriptions to the Somerville High School Radi- ator three days before the official commence- ment of the drive. Room 115 seems to have more notes than any other third-year room. Can’t some of you other Seniors wake up? First Sophomore: “The school orchestra is playing better than usual today, don’t you think so?” Second Sophomore: “You dumb-bell, that is the passing bell. Don’t you hear them filing?” Heard in a history class: “They took the negroes to the West Indies, where they were converted into molasses.” Physics III-G has already completed the first difficult experiment of the year—measuring a line. 18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR2 The first Chess Club meeting of the year was held in Room 128 on September 23. A fair rep- resentation of chess enthusiasts were present, and the following officers chosen: President. Wesley Dupertuis; secretary-manager, David Warsowe; treasurer, Edward Fenn. The club hopes that more players will come to the meet- ings in order that a chess team may be chosen, headed by Captain James Reed, that will be sufficiently strong to retain the championship cup won by last year’s team. Typewriting teacher to class: “There are some typewriting books on that table for any- one who is short.” The Sophomores evidently think that the school has been supplied with elevators and escalators from the many inquiries as to the location of these conveyances. We would call the attention of all students to the new decorations in Clayton Ellis Hall. These decorations are especially worth while, for the fact that visitors often see only the hall and judge the school thereby. The first assembly of the Senior class was held on Wednesday, September 17. Mr. Tuttle spoke a few opening words, after which Mr. Avery gave a few words of encouragement to the Seniors for the coming year. 1926 Eleanor Stackpole—Editor Francis Hanson—Assistant Editor Ruth Bryant was in California during her summer vacation. Helen Gordon’s hair is starting to curl. There may be others who might like to know her method. If so apply to Room 321. Miss C— must have keen eyes. She can al- ways see Francis Hanson talking behind his. desk cover. Eva Monk, 1926, won the W. C. T. U. prize for Middlesex County in last year’s competi- tion. Juniors! Wake up and let us hear from you. 1927 Richard Obear—Editor Fay Warren—Associate Editor Sophomores! There are twelve report cards before you can receive your diploma. Make each report better than the last one and your diploma is bound to come, and possibly it will come “with honor.” In truth do we believe with Mr. Mahoney, that ’tis a hard proposition to secure study seats for Sophomores on the first period Wednesday, the odd week. Yea, verily! Two Sophomores who have recently joined the Glee Club are Clyde Armstrong and Mary Baro. Manuel Blank has joined the Players’ Club. Edward Ellison has gone out for debating. We are thankful to the traffic squad for their help in locating rooms and in other things. Only some of them don’t know it! Show them you’re thankful. The Players’ Club has increased its number by admitting Jenny Gilbert, Daniel Kraptman, Lawrence Carra and Lillian Elliot. In French I we learn that some teachers on the third floor teach the “chimie” to their classes. That is perfectly all right. “Chimie” in French means chemistry. Mr. Herman told the P. T. leaders that he lifted eight thousand tons of rock once. Strong man? No, he lifted them a little at a time. Edward Kelley has joined the Glee Club and the Fife and Drum Corps. Heard in I English C: “Shakespeare is all right, but Dickens is tough.” You can’t absorb knowledge enough to put your name on the honor list. You must work to do it. An interesting pantomime went on after Miss Bell lost her voice. It was wonderful how plainly she could make her hands speak for her. Pupils of Rooms 121 and 10 have collected money and bought pencil sharpeners. The girls formerly of Room 129 have been changed to Room 10. They say they liked and appreciated Mr. Hosmer and were very sorry to leave him, and they also like Miss Bell and are going to have a nice time with her. 20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Doris Houghton Seniors! Juniors! Sophomores! Do you know that Somerville High School possesses two ex- cellent libraries? The East library with books dealing with history, and the West library with books on miscellaneous subjects. I feel confi- dent that everyone knows how to find the two libraries, but is everyone equally familiar with the interior of the two? Have you stepped inside the West library to see the pictures our new librarian, Miss Hastings, has posted? It seems to me unfortunate, first, that so many of us do not use the library: and second, that those of us who do, regard it as a place to obtain only required information. Perhaps we have been asked to look into the life of Robert Browning, and we at once reach for the encyclopedia and jot down a few bare facts. -—date of his birth and death and a list of his famous works. Having done this we feel very noble and virtuous. Yet the story of the court- ship and marriage of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett is a beautiful and perfect romance in itself. Some phase of every great man’s life is interesting, because great men are never commonplace. Thus, you will find in the West library, not a collection of good, bad, and indifferent works, but books which have risen above those classi- fied as ordinary. The library shelves are lined with these books which look very little read. An optimist would attribute this to the excel- lent care taken of the books by the pupils in the past. Perhaps I am pessimistic when I say they are in such good condition because many of those books are read only by the minority, and not because the pupils of Somerville High School have refrained from maltreating them. I hardly expect the readers of this page to rush immediately to the school libraries, but let us all make an earnest effort to get well acquainted with a few good books, for:— “There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry. “This traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of toll: How frugal is the chariot That bears a human soul!” —Emily Dickinson. PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club has begun its third year in the Somerville High School, under the direct supervision of Miss Hariet M. Bell. Friday, September 19, 1924, an informal meeting was held in Room 10 for all students interested. After the tryouts, the club held its first formal meeting with the officers of 1924-1925 as follows: President, Albert Irving; vice-presi- dent, Gertrude Murphy; secretary, Catherine Heiser; treasurer, Eugene Le Sieur. Miss Bell, Miss Sprague and representatives of the Players’ Club attended a meeting at the Arlington Theatre, where it was decided that the Somerville High School Players’ Club will present a play later in the year. The club is at work on two plays which will be presented to the student body. The date is not settled as yet. Both of these plays have been written especially for the Players’ Club by Miss Mildred N. Smith, a graduate of the Class of 1924. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 Have you heard about the millionaire in Toronto, who is so wealthy he rides on “dia- mond tires” and has his dishes washed with “gold dust”? Stewed One—“Wash a hammer for?” Stewed Two—“In case of attack!” —Brown Jug. G. B. Shaw says we should speak English so correctly that an educated foreigner can under- stand it.

Get the names of those other fellows, Dan, and bring them in. They’re a bad lot.” —Jack O’Lantern. “Why did she call him a dumb-bell?” “’Cause she couldn’t get a ring out of him!” —Utah Humbug. “I believe,” said the impatient man, as he put aside the telephone, “that I’ll go fishing.” “Didn't know you cared for fishing.” “I don’t, ordinarily, but it’s the only chance I have of finding myself at the other end of a line that isn’t busy.” —Selected. Father (upstairs)—“It is time for that young man to go home.” Young Man—“Your father is a crank.” Father (overhearing)—“Well, when you don’t have a self-starter, a crank comes in handy.” Fresh—“Who is the smallest man in his- tory ?” Soph—“I give up!” Fresh—“Why, the Roman soldier who fell asleep on his watch.” —Punch Bowl. Doctor—“I’ll have to go back. I forgot my kit.” Willy—“Never mind. I’ll get the one down cellar that the plumber left to-day.” —Judge.

Season tickets for admission to all the home games, including the Thanksgiving game, can be obtained from Mr. Pearson in Room 102 for $1.00. Somerville High had its first football prac- tice September 15. Sixty candidates reported, and have been practicing hard ever since. “Dutch” Ayer has two able assistants, Dave West and Alex Anderson, to help him get in condition and round-out a football team that will be worthy to represent Somerville. They are somewhat handicapped by the lack of ex- perienced players, there being only four letter- men left, Captain Kelson, “Stan” Snell, Walter Breen and “Gimpty” Hogan. Dave West, former All-American tackle, is working hard to make a good team out of the prospective candidates. Alex Anderson, former centre at Georgetown, is coaching the line. He works the linemen hard, and if he doesn’t make a fighting line out of his charges nobody can. Captain Walter Kelson wants the support of the student body at all the games. Come and cheer your team if you have any school spirit. Dutch Ayer has advised “Danny” McFayden not to play football this year. A chance on in- juring Dan’s valuable pitching arm is not to be risked. Little “Eddie” Bergin, last year’s scrappy centre, is ineligible, but Talbert and Marble are holding down his job in good fashion. It was thought at first that “Gimpty” Hogan was not going to play football this year, but “Gimpty” just couldn’t keep away from the game. Balboni is the team’s comedian. McCarthy and Dudley are the foremost pros- pects for quarter-back. The team would like to have the school band at its games. It was an inspiration last year. Lawrence, 20; Somerville, 0 Lawrence beat Somerville for the third time in three years at O’Sullivan Park, Lawrence, bn Saturday, October 4. Somerville fought hard, but ragged playing caused their defeat. Law- rence scored on two long forward passes, each of which netted them touchdowns. “Gimpty” Hogan outpunted the Lawrence kicker, and made one fine forty-yard run to Lawrence’s six-yard line, but Somerville was unable to put the ball over for a touchdown. Hewitt, Graney, Owens and Christian played a heads- up game for Lawrence, while Captain Kelson, Snell. Hogan and Talbert put up a good fight for Somerville. Talbert, the Sophomore centre, sprained his wrist in the Lawrence game, and other mem- bers of the team received minor injuries, such as “Charley horse,” cuts and black eyes. By the way, the squad all enjoyed a “feed” after the Lawrence game. Breen and Hogan chose to eat in Chinese surroundings.

MEDFORI) HIGH TAKES SOMERVILLE INTO CAMP, 23—0 Somerville High lost its opening league game, October 13, to Medford High, 23 to 0, on George Dilboy Athletic Field, West Somerville, before 4,500 people. The Somerville team showed that it had the stuff, but did not know how to use it. A bril- liant stand on their two-yard line was the only time that they played as an organized team should play. Here, they took the ball away from Medford, but a bad pass resulted in a safety, the only score in the last period. “Fish” Ellis, of Medford, was easily the star of the game. The way in which he command- eered the Medford team was faultless. Ellis, Hormell and Michaelson were Med- ford’s star performers, while Captain Kelson, Breen and Balboni played well for Somerville.

This year the need of such a building has reached its climax, and we feel assured that the acute necessity will lead to favorable action. We of the Somerville High School feel and have felt the disgrace of our lack of suitable accommodation. Through the courage and push of one member of the Senior class, Clar- ence Ingalls, assemblies have been held, peti- tions circulated throughout the city and school, and finally, on November 7, a well-advertised mass meeting was held in Clayton Ellis Audi- torium, which was attended by five hundred people. They were addressed by the following enthusiasts and supporters of the cause: Clarence Ingalls, the instigator; School Com- mitteeman Daniel Bradley, Coach Arthur Ayer, Senator-elect Daggett, Mr. Pearson, Daniel McFayden, Mr. Stephen Mahoney, Mr. Thomas Scanlan, Congressman Arthur Underhill and Dr. Cholerton. It may be added that we also have among our supporters, Mayor Webster. President of the Board of Aldermen Hodgdon, the Rotary Club, the Davis Square Business Men’s Association and many women’s organiza- tions. With such a backing we cannot fail. Hon. Charles Eldridge, when mayor of Som- erville, had appropriated $10,000 for a club- house and locker building, but the lowest bid for the construction was $12,500, at which the aldermen balked and refused to pay the ad- ditional sum. Since that time bids have been sent out each year and the amount has in- creased steadily. Now the lowest bid is $21,000. Certainly there cannot be anyone who doubts the immediate and urgent need of the building. Do you know that after a gruelling contest or practice, the boys must go home, oftentimes from one end of the city to the other, in their damp togs? Do you realize what a target these boys are for colds and sickness? What a dif- ference a hot shower would make both to their bodies and spirits! Have you heard the un- complimentary remarks made by visiting teams as to the scope of our hospitality? Have you ever visited the little shack under one end of the grandstand that we have been accus- tomed to call a “clubhouse”? If not, visit it without fail at your earliest possible conven- ience. It will interest and astound you. It has no showers. It has no lockers. It has no lavatory, and but a single electric bulb which serves as a light for it. Fellow students, these are several of its numerous deficiencies, de- ficiencies which are insurmountable. Think of it! That miserable little wooden box has served the athletic teams of the Som- erville High School, one of the largest high schools in the state, as a clubhouse for years, but, schoolmates, it shall serve no longer, and may it be known to everyone that we, the stu- dent body, are determined that a suitable club- house shall be under construction before the close of the year of 1925. The shorthand page in this issue is James T. Field’s well known story of an alarmed Nan- tucket skipper. The shorthand was prepared for the printers by Marguerite P. Smith of the Senior class. For the benefit of some who do not know it, we state that our High School Hall was re- named the Clayton Ellis Auditorium last spring in honor of Clayton Ellis, S. H. S., ’15, who was killed in the World War. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 31 The Movie Rival By M. Ruth Schofield, 1925 “0 dear, why doesn’t Marge come?” sighed Yvonne, stamping her foot impatiently. “I know it; she’s always on time and I can’t understand it,” said Les in disgust. “Well, we’ll wait a few minutes more and then go up to the house,” put in Joe. All this disturbance took place in front of the Central Theatre. “Say, girls, you know it’s a peach of a show tonight, and the funny part of it is Marge suggested the idea of taking it in. She’s al- ways ‘Johnny on the spot’ when it comes to anything like that.” “We still have a few minutes; we can walk up and see what’s keeping her.” So the girls started up to Marge’s house when Spike, one of the boys, came along in his Ford coupe. “Want a lift, girls?” “Oh, yes, Spike,” answered the girls. “Will you take us up to Marge’s house? We’re all going to the movies tonight.” “Sure, pile in.” So the girls “piled in.” Isn’t this just great?” cried Les in delight. “We might miss her by riding up there,” thought Yvonne outloud. “Oh, you pessimist, you’re always looking on the gloomy side of everything.” “Heavens to Betsy! What’s that noise?” “Oh, I suppose it’s a blow-out.” “Well, who’s pessimist now?” questioned Yvonne. Les was so disgusted she didn’t answer. ‘Well, Spike, what are you going to do about it?” asked Joe foolishly. “The only way I see out of it is that you girls will have to help me,” laughed Spike. “All right, we’re game, let’s get busy.” shouted the girls. “Maybe Marge will be along any minute, if we haven’t missed her.” The girls didn’t help much, only laughed and talked and fooled away the time. Fifteen minutes had passed and the movies had already begun. Spike took such an end- less time to fix his blow-out that the girls ran off and left him in despair. When they reached Marge’s house they called and nearly took the doorbell off. Mrs. Ring came to the door very hurriedly and said in a low whisper:— Sh! girls, you must be very quiet, Marge is in such a stage we cannot speak above a whisper.” “Why, what’s the matter? Is she sick or what ?” “You know she was going to the movies with us tonight.” “I know, girls, but you’ll have to be very patient, Bobby can’t even practice his violin lessons; it’s just like a funeral service around here.” The girls were so dumbfounded they couldn’t imagine what had happened to Marge. Was she as sick as all that? Had she been studying too hard lately? 0 dear, what had happened! Terrible thoughts rushed into their minds as they stepped quietly into the house. They didn’t dare speak to express their sympathies to Mrs. Ring in case they should disturb Marge. One hour passed and there those girls sat and waited as quietly as if they were attending a Quaker meeting. (Continued on Page 33) 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The MacMillan Expedition [An Interview] E exploring expedition under Donald MacMillan returned early this fall, after a successful two-years’ voyage, with many intensely in- teresting and exciting stories to tell. As we are in no way in contact with the Greenlanders, except in the whaling industry, it is only through such tales as “MacMillan and Company” have brought back, that we learn the progress of civilization among these interesting Eskimos. The trip is of special interest to us of the High School, as the chief engineer aboard the ship, the Bowdoin, was John Jaynes, a former member of the faculty and resident of Somer- ville. Mr. Jaynes, just as all the others of the exploration party, could talk for hours about his innumerable adventures. Mr. Jaynes’ interest was chiefly in the peo- ple, whom lie termed remarkable, considering their disadvantages. The Greenlanders are re- nowned for their virtuous qualities, and much of the success of the exploration depended upon their loyalty and faithfulness, which never failed. The treacherous guide of the northern novel is quite amiss in Greenland. A native whose food supply is exhausted has only to go to one of his people for food, which will be given, even if it be the last scrap that his countryman possesses. If two go hunting and if by chance one shoots three deer and the other only one, the deer are equally divided. This is beyond imagination in our own country, and goes far to show the Eskimo’s hospitality. In physical build the Eskimo is usually small and peculiarly shaped. His hips do not pro- trude as do ours, and this makes him unusually small at the waist. The countenance of the Eskimo is of different type from ours but, as Mr. Jaynes said: “Their pictures do not do them justice.” The frontispiece offers a study of a typical group of South Greenlanders with the gov- ernor’s house as a background. We can readily see that it is not very similar in structure to the home of a United States governor. The skill with which the Eskimo women weave and sew with such implements as they .have is wonderful. For instance, in the picture, the col- lar that the girl who is third from the left is wearing, is made from beads which are strung without any pattern for a guide, and each girl and woman has several such collars. The decorations on the front of the trousers are made with tiny pieces of leather, each sewed on separately with sinew of the whale as thread. They are diversely colored by means of “Diamond Dyes,” which are imported in re- sponse to a great demand. Their scissors are nothing more than a rounded blade with a handle looking like our own meat chopper. Their handiwork done under such conditions is hard to beat. As the explorers went farther northward, civilization began to die out, the clothing was simpler and heavier, the Eskimos scarcer. The North Greenlander lives in a skin tent in the summer, which he abandons in the winter for an ice house or a wooden ice-packed hut with a long entrance. Their combination lantern and stove is a piece of slightly rounded-out soapstone, about six inches by twelve, filled with whale oil and packed on the sides with moss. This is the only heat they have through- out the winter, during which the temperature drops to forty and forty-five degrees below. Some of the heavier clothing is very ingenious, such as the two-faced gloves, which may be turned around when wet, and the sheepskin coat and hood, weighing about twenty pounds, which may be made into a sort of sleeping-bag. With our silk, cotton or wool hose and thin shoes contrast these sheepskin stockings, seal- skin boots, and in extreme weather bearskin shoes over them. It is cold up there, but they dress for it. Mr. Jaynes enjoyed particularly the barter- ing for souvenirs and trinkets with the Green- landers. On the trip they took dolls and seven or eight victrolas to trade, besides many beads and coins. In exchange for a ten-dollar gold piece, Mr. Jaynes got a little girl’s suit, which a mother was planning to give as a birthday present to her daughter, until her eye caught the glitter of the gold, which is very scarce there. Mr. MacMillan, in company with several of his companions, including Mr. Jaynes, is now- making a lecture tour through the New Eng- land and Middle Atlantic States, and after the first of the year will proceed to the West. They will leave again in June for a three-months’ trip to the Arctic. How would you like to go along with them? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 Generations Florence L. IS parishioners off to an unknown world, bleak and barren, across the perilous seas. And he was to give his farewell sermon to them the next day. “Oh, dear God! Help me to help them. Imbue in me the spirit of courage, staunchness, and faith, so that I may in turn interpret it to them, these God-fearing people. Their cause is a just one. They must worship as their hearts dictate. Here they are op- pressed, scorned, driven from their mother country by her own abuses. There in America may they gain their freedom to worship, and upon this rock, may they, with your benevo- lence, establish themselves forever. I put my only son in your care, dear Father in heaven. Give me strength to let him go. Alden, my son, may he have strength to carry on the work in America. I give him up and dear Ruth does, too. Prove true to us, dear boy, and God be with you always!” The day was ending. It was late. The em- bers in the grate flickered and went out. The room was dark and soon became cold, but still the parson, kneeling, continued in prayer. A youth and maid walking hand in hand down the lane were oblivious to their surround- ings, to the fact that at that time of year Not- tinghamshire was beautiful to look upon. “And, Ruth, dear, I go with the Pilgrims soon. That means good-bye. It will be hard to give you up. I wonder can I do it ?” This the youth said, bestowing upon the maid a look that gladened her heart and yet sent a pang through it. With an effort she answered him. “But, Alden, you are going where you will be needed. Just think, you are to take your father’s place. A parson! I am willing to let you go because of that.” “Oh, Ruth, I am ashamed. You have the courage, dear, always. Yours will be the sac- rifice. I am selfish. But you shall come later to America. There’ll be too many hardships for you this time—but promise me you’ll come when I send for you, Ruth.” “Yes, Alden, I promise!” “My darling, how I love you!” And the youth and maid walked on. The crowd was alive, eager, tense. Just a few more minutes of play. The score was 0-0. Each team had an equal chance, so that when a player with the ball was seen running down the field towards the goal post, both sides came to their feet simultaneously. There stood Lloyd. 1925 only an opposing quarterback between the player and the goal! The quarterback leaped. Jack felt his arms at his hips as he spun on his heel. One arm fell away, but a hand closed inside his leg above the knee and a great weight pulled at him. One plunge, a second, and the last line was swimming in his sight. Then, as if by a miracle, the clutching hand was gone, he stumbled, recovered and went on, straight across the last white line to victory!” Pandemonium reigned supreme. Everybody was wild with joy. “Preacher” Jack was the hero of the game between the Brown and the Blue. All talk was about him. “Yes, that’s he! ‘Parson’ Jack he’s called here in college. He preaches the Thanksgiving sermon at chapel tomorrow. Fine chap anti manages in a quiet way to reform things around here, too. Yes, we used to have the game on Thanksgiving day, but since Jack’s been here, he’s contrived to have the game the day be- fore and have the fellows go to chapel the next day. It’s a great day in his family, you know. He’s a direct descendant of Alden Robins, the old Pilgrims’ parson, and it seems that the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving was a veritable one to this parson, for his bride-to-be had come safely across the Atlantic to him a few years after the Pilgrims’ landing. They were married on that day, and being thankful made a vow to God that the first-born son should be a minis- ter, which has been a precedent the descendants seemed to have followed pretty well, judging by this one. Want to meet ‘Preacher’ Jack? Here he comes, befitting a hero!” “Hello, there, Jack. Fine head work in that last play,” and with this the coach walked off. jostled, at times, by the fellows surrounding Jack. THE MOVIE RIVAL (Continued from Page 31) Finally they heard someone coming down the stairs. It was Marge and they all rushed out to see her. “What is the matter with you?” “Where have you been?” “Didn’t you know we were going to the movies ?” “Are you sick? Do you feel better?” “O Marge, teil us quickly.” “Why, you silly girls,” said Marge, very calm and serene, “there’s nothing the matter with me. I was just working out a cross-word puzzle.” 34 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Somerville High School Orchestra has begun a year which promises to be most suc- cessful. With a library exceeding that of any other year, and a fine assemblage of players, the orchestra expects to excel its former good reputation. With few exceptions the orchestra has all the instruments necessary in a symphony, and for this reason can play the more difficult over- tures and symphonies. The members of the orchestra are working harmoniously with the officers, who are as fol- lows: Le Roy Anderson, leader: Harry Dick- son, concert-master; Eleanor Packard, libra- rian; Frances Bonney, assistant librarian; Frank Smith, business manager; Clifton Camp- bell, property manager, and Miss G. L. Swal- low, faculty treasurer. A junior orchestra, comprising the less ad- vanced players, has also been formed. This organization is working hard with a definite object in mind—promotion into the senior or- chestra. THE ENGLISH CLUB The newly-organized English Club met No- vember 6 with thirty-three pupils present. After Miss Sprague had explained the purpose of the club, nominations were in order. Bart- lett Stoodley was elected president and Rita Mollet, secretary. The club has been divided into four groups. The first group is composed of those who wish to study play writing; the second, short stories; the third, poetry; and the fourth, journalism. Each group is to meet once a month, and the entire English Club three or four times a year. THE SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club held its initiation in Room 301 on October 23. The members were ini- tiated into the club by the officers and the mem- bers of the entertainment committee. Ten members were added. Refreshments and danc- ing followed. THE SENIOR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Senior Glee Club has chosen the follow- ing officers: President and leader, Charlotte Rosen: vice-president, Grace Gaffney; treas- urer, Helen Gordon; secretary, Merle Powers; and pianist, Isabel McMillen. THE CHESS CLUB The Chess Club has been asked by Mr. Ma- honey to teach the principles of chess in the community centres. Every Thursday night the Chess Club meets in Room 308 and holds a chess social, where they do nothing but play chess. The members of the Sophomore Glee Club meet every Wednesday at 1.45 in Room 10. The officers are: Mary Bridges, librarian, and Muriel Jex, treasurer. The student leader is Miss McGaffney. The club has started on two or three pieces, and hopes to learn many more with the help of Miss Weisman and Mr. McVey. PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club presented “Farrington’s Suit” to the student body on October 29. 1924. This play was very well acted by the follow- ing:— Hezzie......................Blanche Baptista Peter........................Tobias Levinson Farrington........Wesley Dupertuis A1 Stoningham........Philip Rusden The staging was under the management of George Kelley and Alden Edkins. Mildred N. Smith, author of the play, is now a member of the Freshman class at Radcliffe College. Miss Smith and her mother were guests of the club at the performance. Two performances of the play have been given in community centres, and Miss Bell has been asked to repeat it on November 14, 1924. Miss Harriet M. Bell, the faithful coach and adviser of all the enterprises of the Somerville SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 High School dramatics, is soon to present an- other play written by Miss Smith entitled: “You Never Can Tell.” Miss Beatrice Mann, Class of 1925, has writ- ten a play that will soon be presented by the club, entitled: “Three Pieces of Mince Pie.” Harry Stanley Smith, Somerville High School, 1921, and Harvard, 1925, will be the guest of the Players’ Club, Friday, December 5, 1924. Mr. Smith will give a talk on the work of the Harvard Dramatic Club, bringing with him some miniature stages made by the club. The newlv-formed English Club will be the guests of the Players’ Club on this occasion. Mr. Smith is stage manager of the Harvard Dramatic Club. He has been chosen to play a part in “Pedro, the King,” a play from the Spanish, soon to be presented by them. Rita Nolan, Somerville High School, 1921. has been engaged to play the lead in “Pedro, the King.” The Players’ Club are to be the guests at the performance of “The Children of the Moon,” at Tufts College. Basil Mills takes the part of Thomas in this play. By March the club hopes to have in the pub- lisher’s hands a series of plays to be published in book form, these plays to be written by members of the English Club. Poet’s Contest A very unique and interesting program was given in Room 110 by II English P. The pro- gram was called a Poet’s Contest; this contest was to decide who was the most popular poet, Amy Lowell or Robert Frost. Mrs. Topi iff. the teacher of this English class, appointed Rosamond Sawin and Eliza- beth Martin as the two leaders, and they were to be assisted by Irene Hall, Doris Bagley, Myrle Powers and Marion Rick. The class was divided into two parts, one part to be under the leadership of Rosamond Sawin and the other part under the leadership of Elizabeth Martin. Rosamond Sawin’s side was to take Robert Frost as their poet and Elizabeth Martin’s side was to take Amy Lowell. TKe leaders of these two sides assigned each girl a certain topic, and the program was car- ried out in a very pleasing and orderly manner. This contest was judged by James Cashman, the only boy in the class. His opinion of the contest was that Robert Frost was the better poet because Robert Frost was very fond of nature, but he thought Amy Lowell gave more vivid pictures of nature.

Swan, Jr. The poems submitted this month are numer- ous and varied, testifying to the latent possi- bilities of the Poetry Page. Their sterling qualities present much that the average high school student may and ought to enjoy. It is also our belief that the average high school student of today has discarded the false con- ception of yesterday, that poetry is a misty something which only abnormal minds, espe- cially attuned to lofty thoughts and idealisms, can appreciate. Those who at the English Club’s first meeting evidenced a desire to join the poetry section of the club have given ex- pression to the usual attitude of the fair- minded high school student of the present day. We hope that many more will attend the next meeting, at which time several contributors to the Poetry Page of the Radiator have been asked to read their poems. Charles Edmund Jellison’s poem, “Sea Life,” is vivid, glowing, and picturesque, with a swing and carefree lilt that is very attrac- tive. It brightens the poetry page. “To an Old Man,” by Richard Valente, is the type of poetry which gives substance to our page and to our readers a better insight into the depths of life’s true beauty. “What the Moon Saw,” by Frank J. Calandrella, leaves with us, as do all his poems, a wondering realization of its great wealth of meaning. Examine each line closely, let imagination have its sway, ami you’ll find yourself delving in much that, al- though unwritten, is present. We may all gather a “big bit” of advice from May Calla- han’s poem, “A Bit of Verse,” and at the same time enjoy a remarkably well-constructed poem. In the same light, we regard Anna Meaney’s “Mr. Meant-to,” and offer it to our readers as most excellent material for further considera- tion. TO AN Old) MAN Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables” Dear old man, I know tonight How good thou art. It’s late that I’ve learned How doing good, giving, and aiding, Tho’ it made deeper thine own affliction, Thou fled’st thy hard oppressor Seeking long-due rest and happiness. Pathetic thy fate, dear old man! And now in the gathering dusk Thou’rt at last receiving thy quiet,— At last thou hast thy solitude— Oh, I would give all I own To be so beautiful as thou, dear old man! Would God that gray hairs and fading years Might be as glorious one day in me As they are tonight in thee, dear old man! Richard Valente. SEA LIFE The sea’s the life, The surging main, Where wind and wave Test skill and brain. The sea for me, And a windy day With tow’ring billow, And briny spray. A skimming sloop With bulging sails, And slippery deck. And shining rails; A tall slim mast That bows before The storm blown blast From rock strewn shore. Then out to sea We cleave the crest Of verdant waves That wet our breast. The starboard side Is leeward now, The buoy is passed. And away we go. The wind’s a tune. The spray a kiss, The list a thrill Of perfect bliss. Our white sail’s full. The tackle tight. Our craft leaps on With won’drous might. Then homeward bound At sunset glow, Her sea-dipped stem We turn and go. The harbor’s mouth Is now in view; Our anchor’s down, The sun’s down too. Charles Edmund Jellison. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 A BIT OF VERSE I cannot write a poem grand. Such comes but from a master’s hand; I know my works will never grace The walls within some famous place. These honors great, I do not seek, I choose a part more humble, meek, But if some bit of verse of mine, A word, a phrase, perchance a line, Should fall upon some lonely heart, A bit of sunshine to impart; If someone sad, downhearted, blue Might read, take heart and start anew; If I could make somebody smile, And make another’s life worth while; Then I should never seek to claim A place within the Hall of Fame; Nor ever care to saunter down The corridor of great renown. These places high are not for me. For I should much prefer to be Among those who through toil and strife Walk the lowly ways of life. Mary Callahan. WHAT THE MOON SAW God went weeping Through the red battle fields, Gathering souls. O youth, Yours was so white For you were young. Joseph Calandrella. MR. MEANT-TO Mr. Meant-to has a comrade, And his name is Didn’t Do. Have you ever chanced to meet them? Did they ever call on you? These two fellows live together In the house of Never-Win, And I’m told that it is haunted By the ghost of Might-have Been. Anna Meaney. TNTOTES OF THL ALVMNI CATTPBELL-OS 1924 John A. Holmes, Jr., who is a Freshman at Tufts College, has had his play, “In Arden Forest,’’ accepted and published by Walter Baker and Company. “In Arden Forest” values are well repre- sented. Behind childish tricks and misdemean- ors there may be, as in this instance, much of truth and poetry, much that will make civiliza- tion grow by leaps and bounds. As Kate Hathaway saved and redeemed the lad, so society must save and redeem its wanderers. A thousand dollars spent in sav- ing a boy is worth millions in punishing his crime. Walt Whitman says it best: “Not a youngster is taken for larceny but I go up, too, and am tried and sentenced.” That John A. Holmes, Jr., has produced a play capable of conveying this lesson is an honor not only to himself but to the school in which he was trained. Basil Mills is enrolled at Tufts College.

(Continued on Page 39) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3D LIBKA1 DE PARTMENT Several months’ time and thousands of dol- lars have been spent upon the redecoration of the Somerville Public Library, and we may well be proud of the artistic results attained. The major achievement is a reproduction of the Parthenon frieze. Damaged parts of the original frieze, which was sculptured by Phid- ias and his assistants in 438 B. C., may be seen today at the ruins of the Parthenon in Athens. The frieze represents a Panathenaic procession, a feature of the games held every fourth year honoring Athena, the chief deity of the city. Parts of the original frieze may also be found in the British Museum. The re- production of the frieze which is in our library is copied from a reproduction in the Metro- politan Museum in New York City. The me- dallions of the deities, the foliage festoons, the egg and dart border and conventional designs are all in keeping with the Grecian spirit. If you have seen and enjoyed Rudolph Valen- tino as “Monsieur Beaucaire,” why don’t you read the book, which was written by Booth Tarkington? It is interesting to note that the best his- tory of American Government was written by an Englishman, Hon. James Bryce, and that the best history of English Government was written by an American, President Lowell, of Harvard. “The Winning of the West,” by Theodore Roosevelt, a type of book similar to “The Cov- ered Wagon,” would surely appeal to anyone who likes Western stories. Barrie’s “Admirable Crichton” is not a purely fictitious character as one would sup- pose. There actually existed an “Admirable Crichton,” a brilliant young Scotsman, who distinguished himself in fighting under the French flag. He knew eight languages thoroughly and was a remarkable student. “Calvin Coolidge, a Contemporary Esti- mate,” by Edward Elwell Whiting, is a book full of interesting anecdotes and sidelights on the life of our President. President Coolidge’s speeches are notable for their ciear, direct English, and are, therefore, worthy of study. The speech given below, which was de- livered before the Massachusetts Senate, holds the distinction of being the shortest inaugural address in history—forty-four words. “Honorable Senators: My sincerest thanks I offer you. Conserve the firm foundations of our institutions. Do your work with the spirit of a soldier in the public service. Be loyal to the Commonwealth and to yourselves. And be brief; above all things, Be Brief.” ALUMNI NOTES (Continued from Page 38) Francis E. Ahern had the degree of sci- ence in electrical engineering conferred upon him at the graduating exercises of Tufts Col- lege in June. 1919 Sarah Wolfe is teaching in the Clark Bennett School, Somerville. Miss Helen Louise May was married to John F. Sullivan, of Medford. Miss Vivian Hunter and Robert K. Taylor, who are both employed by the American Surety Company, of New York, were visitors at the High School, Friday morning, September 26. “Viv” Hunter was a member of the High School Orchestra, playing the cornet, and is as- sociated with the Old Powder House Club Or- chestra and the Dor-Vi-An Trio as pianist. “Bob” Taylor was the class historian. He is now a student at the Suffolk Law School. 1916-A Crawford K. Sweeley graduated from Tufts Medical College in June. During the coming year he will be instructor in pharmacology and in physical diagnosis in Tufts Medical and Den- tal School. He is now house physician at the Somerville Hospital. During the World War he served ten months overseas with a sanitary department. 40 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1925 Thomas J. Kennedy—Editor David Warsowe—Assistant Editor Every student should back up Clarence Ingalls and the Athletic Association in their attempt to have a suitable clubhouse erected at Dilboy Field. If the students of the school manifest their desire for such a building strongly enough, Somerville will get a well- equipped athletic clubhouse. Seniors! Although you have never banked in the school before, do it now. “It’s never too late to save,” and remember that graduation is coming. “Youth is the sowing end of the harvest field.” Seniors! Report cards will be out soon. Have you done your best work? Remember that your Senior year is the important year and every report counts. Junior: “Have you noticed anything about our modern girls?” Senior: “Indeed. It has taken them all these centuries to perceive that their heads are wooden.” Junior: “How’s that?” Senior: “Well, they are all shingling them.” The result of the Senior election is as fol- lows: President, John Donahue; vice-president, Catherine Heiser; treasurer, Eugene LeSieur; secretary, Muriel Clark: editor. Thomas Ken- nedy; assistant editor, David Warsowe. Now that you have elected your class officers, sup- port them in every way you can, for with your co-operation they can make this year a big success. The election of the Senior Play Committee took place on Wednesday, November 5. The result of the election is as follows: Frank X. Calandrella, Muriel Estes, Richard Lyons. Room 110 has 100 in Radiator subscrip- tions and class dues. Room 110 is honored in having one of its members, John Donahue, elected president of the Class of 1925. The Junior and Senior Girls’ Glee Club has been formed. A rehearsal is held every Tues- day afternoon. It is progressing very rapidly. Charlotte Rosen is the leader; Miss Todd and Mr. McVey, the supervisors. The Spanish Club held an initiation in Room 301 on Thursday, October 23. The initiation was carried on by the officers of the club. A very pleasant time was enjoyed by all the mem- bers present. The Girls’ Athletic Association hopes to be supported by all of the Senior girls. It is rumored that Victor Herbert is not dead; that is to say—his lyrical soul. One Richard Valente, whose composing first came into prominence on Junior Night, must be the re-incarnation of Mr. Herbert. Aram Movsessian, of Room 115, is the school reporter for the Somerville papers. Somerville High’s football team has made a decided improvement. Seniors! Set the ex- ample! Attend the games. First Member: “I just bought a slide rule. Do you know what it is?” Second Member: “No, tell me about it.” First Member: It is a scientific instrument which divides, multiplies; does your trigo- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 41 nometry work and solves various problems.” Second Member: “That sounds good! Does it write English themes, too?” Now that the Students’ Council has begun its sessions, the members of that body will welcome suggestions from the students of the school. Much interest has been taken in voting for president and other political officers in the United States history classes. The pupils are taking the matter seriously, and the teachers feel confident many benefits will result. John: “What do you think of a man who will get up at 2 o’clock in the morning and go horse- back riding?” James: “I think that he is out of his mind. Who did it?” John: “Paul Revere.” Room 113 was first in paying class dues, second in joining the Athletic Association and third in subscribing to the Radiator. Heard in history:— Mr. Carrier: “Give a brief resume of the de- fects of the Articles of Confederation. V—1—i: “I can give it in one word.” Mr. Carrier: “Let’s hear it.” V—1—i: “Err-------- Senior, running into one of the small Sopho- mores, “Pardon me, child.” Room 114 is very proud to possess a young musician. Miss Charlotte Rosen of that room is giving twelve violin lessons a week, and also is leader of the Senior and Junior Girls’ Glee Club. The short play which was presented in Clay- ton Ellis Hall on Thursday, October 30, was a huge success. It was supervised by Miss Bell. The players presented their parts ex- ceedingly well. There is some question as to who is the most popular man in 102. Is it Mr. Living- stone, gentleman, scholar and musician, or Mr. Mohan, the class cartoonist, or Mr. Mattola, the class orator? The Somerville High School Orchestra is bound to be a great success this year. The en- rollment of players is large, many being Seniors. Le Roy Anderson is the capable leader. Elizabeth Beane, one of the members of the Senior class, has not been absent, tardy or dis- missed in the seven years. Keep it up, Eliza- beth, this is your last year. Every member of 103 has joined one or more of the school organizations. Room 115 is proud of the fact that three of its members were leading characters in the first play presented to the student body this year. Room 115, the first room to have 100% in Radiator subscriptions, also has 100% in class dues, and is on the way to 100% in joining the Athletic Association. With wrathful fury he grasped his victims for the fifth time, this time as if to choke life itself out of them. As he clutched them, one in each hand, a terrible howl followed. Three minutes later he cast them aside, seemingly lifeless. “Oh, hang it all, I suppose Til never learn to play that old fiddle.” The editors wish to thank the students for the abundance of news. Don’t be disappointed if your item has not been published. Notes that can be published later are kept on hand Keep the good work up. 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Helen Gordon—Assistant Editor Who would have thought that so many Juniors would care to show their inclination to be the holder of the class funds. The Juniors in the Traffic Squad say that their only reason for not liking it is that it causes them to be late to their classes. Now you tell one. In the near future we expect to have famous poets from the Class of 1926. Some of Mrs. Topliff’s pupils are already showing decided ability. The Seniors of this school represent the upper piece of bread, the Sophomores the low- est piece and the Juniors w-hat is in between. Heard in a chemistry class:— Teacher: “If you want to weigh a bucket without the air in it, how? would you do it?” Pupil: “Turn the bucket upside down to get the air out.” 42 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Room 306 claims the possession of genius in G-o-g- M-h-n-y, a bashful young poet. Being “tres modiste” he has refused the pleadings for a poem for the Radiator. Irene Mclnnis has left school. She is now working in a department store in Boston. Aubrey B. MacMahan has entered the Som- erville Night School class. He is studying bookkeeping, Spanish and penmanship. He is employed as a stenographer in the Liability Life Insurance Company of Boston. FRENCH FUND. II ENGLISH P Under the supervision of Mrs. Topliff, II English P is saving money for a Christmas Charity Fund to send to two French orphans, Marie and Andre Ferricol. A committee of six girls has been appointed to take charge with Miss Rose Certusi as chair- man. Each Monday every pupil in the class donates ten cents toward the Christmas gift. This plan which is being carried on by II English P was started by one of Mrs. ToplifTs former English classes. 1927 Richard Obear—Editor Fae Warren—Associate Editor Sophomores are not slow to learn the school motto, “Honor and Progress,” but from the byword of the Traffic Squad, “Speed up,” we take it that the essential is progress. Honor, that is keeping off young ladies’ feet, etc., if it does not interfere with progress, is of course expected. Members of 210 taking French are beginning to brighten up. To them, French at first looked like Greek and sounded like Chinese, but now it is different. Heard during history period in 202: “He killed three men and ate them alive.” William Talbot, president of the Class of 1924 at the Western Junior High School, is a successful letterman this year. During the gymnasium period the leader asked the class to half left face. Not liking the way the class did this, she said that they would have to practice on their faces. Sophomores! Show your school spirit and contribute more class notes and jokes to the editors. Two Sophomores from the Southern Junior High School, William Houley and Thomas Mc- Govern, are showing up well on the football team. Who’s who in Room 206:— Who never comes to school without his hair curled? Who always starts talking after the secopd bell? Who always asks: “Is this odd or even week?” M. W. can still grow some. F. S. doesn’t need a light. M. G., B. M. and B. B. are our non-bobs. The Traffic Squad make me weary, Gosh, they make me weep. They keep telling me to “Wake up,” When they are half-asleep. The Sophomore class misses a fine and jolly classmate in the person of Earl Thompson, who recently moved from Somerville. Traffic officer to Soph: “Wake up and die right.” Soph: “Well, it takes a dead one to know a dead one.” Sophs are after the inventor of seventh periods. 44 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ATHLETICS Somerville Beaten by Newton, 19-7 Somerville lost to Newton, but Newton was lucky to win. The Somerville boys played the hardest they have played thus far, and New- ton knew they had a tough nut to crack. The breaks of the game were all against Somerville from the start. They lost a touch- down on the kickoff because Wilson was off- side. They got the ball inside Newton’s five- yard line three times but lost it on downs. Captain Kelson played a great game, making a forty-five-yard run around end from punt formation, and then again in the last period, catching a forward pass he ran through the whole Newton team to the five-yard line, where he was finally brought to the ground. The Gilligan brothers were the whole “works” for Newton, Tom making a hundred- yard dash for a touchdown and “Frenchv” blocking a punt and recovering it for a touch- down. After the game Coach Allie Dickinson com- plimented the Somerville boys for the fine game they played. The summary:— NEWTON SOMERVILLE McCullough, 1. e., r.e., Crosby, Balboni F.

Time— Four twelve-minute periods. Cambridge Latin, 15; Somerville, 7 Somerville made a poor showing against the lighter Cambridge team. It was an uninter- esting game to watch because there was not any real good football shown by either team. Captain Kelson showed his usual sterling quality, but one man cannot win a game. Mur- phy and Nelson scored Cambridge’s touch- downs by an end run and line bucks respec- tively. Nelson kicked a field goal from the eighteen-yard line for the remainder of the Cambridge score. Somerville scored on a for- ward pass, Breen to Kelson, and McCarthy kicked the goal. The attendance at the game was very poor, showing a lack of school spirit. Somerville Trounced by Everett The team that made such a good showing against Newton and was expected to show Everett a thing or two, failed to live up to ex- pectations. They were beaten 82-0. Everett scored almost at will, their cross- bucks and forward passes working to perfec- tion. Taylor, the Everett fullback, went through the Somerville team like water through a sieve. He made a fine fifty-yard run which resulted in a touchdown, and scored two touch- downs himself. The other three touchdowns were made by Giacobbe and Griffin, the former making two. Somerville appeared to be helpless, Captain Kelson and “Ray” Bowlby being the only Som- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 4 5 erville men through whom Everett was unable to gain. Hogan and Wilson were unable to play be- cause of injuries, while “Tom” Griffin was car- ried from the field in the first quarter. If they had been playing, they would have strengthened the team somewhat. Brookline Victorious Over Somerville Somerville was defeated by Brookline, 6-0, at Dilboy Field, Saturday, November 15. The Brookline team was not flashy, but they played heads-up football and consequently they won. Brookline scored in the third period, when Somerville attempted a trick play from punt formation with Kelson back. The play was called and the ball was snapped to Coffey, who juggled the ball, and then tried to make a lateral pass to Kelson, but Mahoney, playing alert football, knocked down the pass, picked it up and ran forty yards for a touchdown. McGuire failed to kick the goal. Somerville outrushed Brookline, twice bring- ing the ball inside Brookiine’s twelve-yard line, but both times they lacked the power to put the ball over. “Gimpty” Hogan was back in the game and played well. His forward passing and rushing were the features of the game. Kelson, Bowlby and Bergin also played well for Somerville. GRIDIRON NOTES Malden swamped Somerville in a one-sided contest by a score of 28-0. Jackson starred for Malden, while Kelson and Bowlby were the only Somerville men who showed they knew how to play football. Captain Kelson played the Cambridge Latin game with a bad boil on his arm. Newton got the scare of their life when Som- erville headed them for three periods by a 7-6 score. Captain Kelson is being developed into a real triple threat. He is doing some fine punting, and is making a forward passer and good end runner from the punt formation play. Ray Bowlby is playing a crackerjack game at tackle, while Crosby is holding down right end in great fashion. The credit for the good showing the boys made against Newton can all be given to “Skip” Sherlock. “Skip” is just the kind of coach the boys need. He’s full of pep and shows the boys what’s right and what’s wrong. Coach Sherlock is a great asset to the team, and shows by his good coaching that he has more interest in the team than his fifty per. Many think that if “Dutch” Ayer had coached the team himself this year, instead of putting Dave West in charge of the squad, the results would have been better. It’s either the boys’ or the coach’s fault be- cause they are not winning this year, and the boys showed where the fault was by their good playing against Newton, after “Skip” Sherlock coached them for a week. The boys all like “Skip.” “Gimpty” Hogan is having some tough luck this year. After recovering from his sprained ankle he was unlucky enough to dislocate his elbow. Boils seem to be going slowly through the squad. First Kelson, then Dudley, and last Watson suffered from an attack of them. There are still a few loyal rooters for the team. How about the rest, are you slackers? If a bill is put through to erect a new club- house on Dilboy Field, you can slap Clarence Ingalls of Room 102 on the back and call him a good fellow. 46 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SCHOOL -WIT- UtA fr cc LovA 'There goes a whole train-load of Climax to- bacco.” “Oh, that's one of those chew-chew trains.” —Washington Dirge.

But how little we appreciate the real spirit of Christmas. How narrowly and meanly! We think too much of happiness and comfort; we think too little of the suffering world. It is not meant that Christmas be for anything but for rejoicing, and it is infallibly true that the happiest person is one who has made another happy. So, let us through the churches, tuberculosis fund, the Salvation Army, and if possible through our own endeavors, not forget the other fellow and particularly the less fortunate on the day of the commemoration of the birth of the Perfect Giver, He who gave His life. “I have read the October Radiator thor- oughly and think it is a very creditable issue, fully equal, if not superior to those of my time. The article on ‘Smoking and High School Scholarship,’ a prize-winning contribution by a young man, it seems to me is particularly worthy of mention, also the poetry column, the jokes, ‘Scientific Bungle’ and the tone of Edi- torials.” This unsolicited comment on our first num- ber came from Mr. Frank M. Hawes, who was until four years ago a teacher in this school, and who graduated from the Latin School in 1868. We wish to thank Mr. Hawes for his comment and trust that our November issue was deserving of equal commendation. The intention of the whole Radiator staff has been to give the best paper that they can produce for the education and entertainment of the student body, whose co-operation is so neces- sary to the Radiator’s success. The first of a series of Physical Training Contests is over; the Senior girls of room 111, Senior boys of room 122 and Junior boys of room 307 were the ultimate winners. The work as a whole was very creditable, taking into consideration the many undesirable conditions under which we have to work. One outstanding feature of the last contest was the lack of responsibility of the pupils left alone in the room while the judging was tak- ing place. We hope that you will all person- ally see to it that in the future there will be no cause for such criticism. The next contest will take place about Feb- ruary 1, with an entirely new scheme for judg- ing, which we think will be very effective, and we trust that every room will get into the spirit of winning. The only sure way to win is to do all the exercises the very best that you can every day, with the hearty co-operation of all. —Laurence Sprague. Somerville High School brought a rather disastrous football season to its close, when it was beaten, 12 to 0, Thanksgiving morning by its old rival, Rindge. However, though it did not win a game, we are certainly not ashamed of it. In Kelson we have an end with- out a peer in Eastern Massachusetts, a fine (Continued on Page CO) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “And the Greatest of All—” Anne Sheridan, 1925 HE hum and bustle of the last-min- ute shopping filled the tremendous building that housed the well- known department store of Mor- ton Sylvester’s. It was on the very eve of that international holiday on which is celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Christ. Clerks and customers alike seemed to sense the swift approach of the day—no longer was there the irritability and impatience on the customers’ part nor the curtness and the irascibility on the salesgirls’ which is charac- teristic of the nerve-trying week before Christ- mas. Patron and employee—tired alike—were looking forward to the conviviality of the next day. Behind counter nine, first floor, devoted to the sale of trinkets ranging in value from twenty-five cents to five dollars, Mamie O’Con- nell was trying to assist a fussy matron to select a suitable and not too expensive gift for her niece. At last to the unmeasurable satis- faction of the weary Mamie, the customer de- cided on a fifty-cent near-amber necklace and after having her gift put in a pretentious Yule- tide box, bustled away. The girl behind the counter sighed, shifted her gum to a more comfortable position, and refluffed her blonde bobbed hair. “Say, Aggie,” she called out to the other salesgirl of the counter, “I bet the girl that gets that present will be tickled. The old crab! She could pass out real amber if she’d loosen up—the tightwad!” “Yeah,” answered the other girl between munches on her gum. “Some people sure are cheap. Say, Mamie. I spose you’re goin’ to step out at the Cops’ Ball tomorrow night? Wisht I had a guy that wore the uniform. My steady is on the El—they don’t have no dances.” “You bet I’m goin’,” returned Mamie, “Y’ oughta see the swell gown I got all picked out down to Meyer’s. I been savin’ for it for a long time, and the old envelope tonight will give me enough. Believe me, kid, I’m gonna knock ’em dead tomorrow night. My Jack is wearin’ a soup and fish outfit, y’know, and I was tellin’ him—” Just what Mamie was telling him was never disclosed, for at this moment several customers required the services of the two girls. By the time they had made their purchases the closing bell had rung. With unbelievable energy the two salesgirls slammed the counter stock into the cases, checked up their order books, and scurried for the dressing room—and the pay office. It was a damp but scarcely a cold night as Mamie came out of the employees’ exit and hurried for the subway—and home. Although she was naturally tired, she was elated because tonight she would see the fulfillment of a long cherished dream—a real, honest-to-goodness ball gown. The old blue dress she had worn constantly for nearly two years, and so the prospect of a new and a “real” one made her happy. The O’Connell residence, although not on Riverside Drive nor yet within a stone’s throw of it, was as neat and clean as a new pin. Mrs. O’Connell was a conscientious and tireless housekeeper and prided herself on the appear- ance of the “flat.” Many of the neighbors— tenants of the very same house, some of them— did not bear up so well under poverty. Lack- ing the optimism and Christian faith of Mrs. O’Connell, they resigned themselves to squalid- ness and want. Just as the supper was placed on the table the door flew open and in dashed Mamie. She skipped around the room, holding her shabby purse aloft and crying: “At last, at last”—to the admiration of her watching mother. While these antics were going on, the man of the house, Tim O’Connell, entered. “Well, Pa, I guess Mamie gets her new little dress today.” “Indeed, child, it’s hard lines when a pretty little gurl like you has to wurk so long for a little finery. If your father was wealthy it wud not be one dress you wud have but sixty.” During the progress of the plain but whole- some meal discussion of the next day came up. “Pm afraid that some of us will not have much to celebrate Christmas with,” said Mrs. O’Connell, shaking her head sadly. “The O’Briens downstairs are in a bad way with Hughie laid up in Bellevue with his broken leg. I guess the children will have reason to doubt Santa Claus. A little bread and precious little of that will be all they’ll see.” “I wish we could help them,” murmured 56 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Tim, “but we have only enough to take care of ourselves.” “Poor Mrs. O’Brien,” sighed the good woman. “ Tis not of herself she is thinking—it’s the children.” While this conversation was going on Mamie continued to apply herself to her meal. She was not unsympathetic, but the matter of her new dress in her mind obscured all else. She was in the clouds. The meal being over, Tim drew up a chair in the cheap little parlor and opened the Evening Journal. Mrs. O’Connell began to gather up the dishes, while Mamie again put on her coat and hat. “I’m goin’ down to Meyer’s, ma, will you give me that money of mine for my dress? I want to hurry, for I think I’d die if someone has bought it before me.” Mrs. O’Connell reappeared in a moment and gave the girl the desired money. On top of this she laid a lone two-dollar bill and said: “I wish, Mamie, you would stop into Mrs. O’Brien’s and give her this. It’s not much, but we can spare it and she might find it handy.” Dashing down the stairs two at a time, Mamie entered the O’Brien household on her errand of charity. The minute she entered she could feel the gloom, the abject despair of its occu- pants. It was a cold and cheerless room, at best, and lacking the hand of Mrs. O’Connell, it was positively ugly. Seated in a chair sat a woman whose care- worn, sorrowful face denoted a life of ceaseless struggle against the persistent wolf. Grouped around a little stove, in which the fire was all but out, were seven little children ranging from eleven down to a creeping infant of seven or eight months. The bareness of the room, the obvious lack of even the most necessary com- modities showed the direness of the poverty of the O’Brien family. “Ma sent me down to see how you were,” diplomatically began the not obtuse Mamie. “Ah, is that you, Mamie? ’Tis indeed a fine mother you have. Tell her that I’m pretty well, thank ye—” Here the woman broke down and in a moment Mamie was bending over the unfortunate mother, trying to com- fort her. Like a torrent Mrs. O’Brien poured her despair into the sympathetic ear of Mamie. It was a sickening tale of adversity and ill-for- tune, and it was not long before the girl, too, wept. Her sorrow for the poor woman went belov. the surface and somewhere in the back of her head a plan, a determination began to form. A struggle between the nobler nature and the more selfish nature of the girl began; a struggle of true Christmas spirit with the false. “’Tis not myself, Mamie, ’tis the children. They’ve set their little hearts on Santa Claus, and, God help them, it’ll be no Santa Claus they’ll see. “They’ll have their Santa Claus, Mrs. O’Brien,” cried the girl as with eyes flashing and chin set she rose to her fleet. “’Tis little enough good one can do in this world.” Leaving the bewildered woman, the impul- sive girl went out of the doorway only to en- counter her own particular policeman, Jack, oil duty, about to call on her. “Just the guy I want,” said Mamie, “you don’t look like a reindeer but you’ve got to be one tonight. Come on!” It was fully an hour afterwards when there trudged into the O’Brien hallway a strange aggregation of people. Leading was a slim girlish figure heavily burdened with various bundles, behind her was another heavily- loaded person, and bringing up the rear were two order boys from two of the local stores loaded to the “eyes.” Without any warning the procession marched into Mrs. O’Brien’s room and began to divest themselves of the bundles. The good woman sitting in the chair observed all this with un- believing eyes. The children, eyes shining as they recognized certain undistinguishabie things among the bundles, shouted with joy. The next hour was happily spent by Mamie and Jack in distributing the toys to the chil- dren, in replenishing the feeble fire with the fuel they had brought and in putting away in the cupboard many substantial things for the family to eat not only the next day, but many days after that. It was very late Christmas eve and Mamie and her policeman friend, Jack, were sitting in the O’Connell parlor. “ . . . And so, Jack, that’s how it was,” Mamie was saying, “I couldn’t see those kids only having a crust of bread to celebrate the day with. “But, gee,” she said ruefully after a pause, ‘T hated to give up that dress. I guess—I guess I’ll stay home tomorrow night.” “Ye’ll do nothing of the sort,” answered Jack, “you don’t need no new dress to hold me. Besides,” he continued whimsically, “I always did love you in blue.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 Inimicorum Relinquorum Beatrice Mann, 1925 |T was all Cicero’s fault, my accident. If Cicero had not written so many long words; if a boy with a mis- placed sense of humor had not been requested to read those words; if someone had not dropped some cheese at recess—but there! I am starting my story backwards, a thing an educated mouse should never do. To begin properly, I live in a high school which is full of delightful holes and long corri- dors. My home is in Room Fifteen, a very nice room, both in respect to the pupils who con- siderately drop crumbs for me, and in regard to its comfortable, drowsy warmth. About eleven o’clock I usually awake (the noise of the entering class is my alarm clock) and, after taking my morning bath, I station myself at the entrance to my hole to listen to the Latin recitation. In this way I have im- bibed much knowledge of the Latin tongue, al- though I have never yet met a Roman mouse with whom I might converse. I can, however, recite “amo, amare” as well as any pupil in the high school. On the day about which I am trying to tell, I had seated myself, as was my habit, and had just begun to concentrate on the lesson, when the teacher announced that each one who translated must read the Latin. “An excellent idea,” I commented to myself as I curled my tail neatly, “a most excellent one!” Little I knew the trouble that would result! The first pupil read the Latin very creditably, I will admit, but her translation was very or- dinary, having an average of three words right to one wrong, as I find usually happens in a Latin class. The next one did little better, and the third was positively annoying to my sense of beauty. I began to lose interest in the pro- ceedings, although each time the word hie” was read, I unconsciously continued, Haec, hoc, huius,” throughout. Even my ability to de- cline the words read, however, failed to hold my attention, and suddenly I realized that under a desk on the other side of the room was a tempting piece of cheese, a luscious yellow bit. I glanced about the room. The pupils were ail intent on their lesson, listening nervously to the scathing comments of the teacher. If I could but reach that cheese unobserved—I hesitated; then with a resigned twitch of my tail as an invocation to Chance, I crept from my hole. I reached the second row of desks before the teacher finished her remarks, and called on an- other boy to recite. I was nervous, for I dread to see the attention of a human focused on me; especially when the human is hostile. I could talk Latin better than the class, but I knew that if 1 were seen, no chance of exhibiting my culture would be given me, and all hope of securing that tempting bit of cheese would be lost. I crept on cautiously, sternly controlling my nerves. As the boy who had been reciting sat down, I cowered in the shadow of a desk until a second boy rose to his feet, when I stole forward once more. I was almost there, so near that the aroma of the cheese set my nose to twitching eagerly. Only one more aisle to cross, I forgot my caution and started across the open space eagerly. At that moment the boy, reciting after two false starts, suddenly bellowed forth “Inimi- corum relinquorum meorum causa” in a burst of eloquence. I jumped, in sudden panic, the remaining distance across the aisle, and was seen! One shriek rent the air, and then another. The skirts above my head swished, and a foot came down with a crash to the floor. Another shriek shattered the remnants of my self- control, and with a frightened squeak, I fled! When, that night, I at length mustered my courage sufficiently to venture forth once again, the cheese was gone. Alas! as the teacher in the room says, “Opportunity knocks at the door but once,” but, I ask you, was it my fault that opportunity passed me by? I, personally, blame the entire occurrence on Cicero, and I shall nibble the nose of his statue every night in token of my dis- pleasure. Why can’t these dead men leave us in peace? 58 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR An Autobiography Rachel Young, 1925 N December 15, 1908, in a little suburb of Brent, Russia, I was born. Of my family history I only know that all my ancestors were born and brought up in Rus- sia. My mother’s father died when she was but three months old, and her mother died when she was fifteen years old. My mother had a stepfather who was as cruel to her as the stepfathers in story books. Every time my mother wanted to do something, like learning to sew, of which she was very fond, he would see that she was opposed. When my mother’s mother died she did not live with her stepfather any longer, but sup- ported herself by tending a small store. She met my father while in this store and married him two years later. My mother is the most kind-hearted person I know. If it were not for her, I don’t know what anyone in my family would do. She is our guiding star. Long may she live! Not long after I was born, things began to go wrong. We were never well off, and we were worse off after that. My father’s brother wrote him to come to America, and my father took his advice and left for that land of dreams six months after my arrival. My mother and I lived together in one large room, as was the custom in Russia. This room served as bedroom, kitchen and living-room. In the next room lived another family. It was with this family that I lived mostly. I played with the children there, and because the children called their mother, “Mother,” I called her “Mother,” too, and called my own mother, “Rose,” her name. Meanwhile, over in America, my father was making head-way; not very fast, but sure, and when he had enough to support my mother and me, he sent for us. How proud we were! We were looked upon with awe and were envied by everybody. My mother sold the store, and at last we started for that wonderful land across big waters, where gold was strewn over the streets, and where opportunity lurked everywhere. On the way over to America, many amusing incidents happened to me. I do not remember many of them, but my mother never tires ot relating them. She likes to tell of one night on the ship, a very stormy night, when the waves tossed and the wind moaned, when the ship had to be stopped, and everyone was fear- ing for their lives. Rut I. not realizing any danger, ran on deck in my night shirt to watch the waves roll and wash the decks, while every- one was hunting for me in the cabins, not on deck. We landed in America, at Ellis Island, on August 20, 1912, and moved to one of Boston’s lower districts, near Dover street. The following month I entered school at the age of four years. I found the English lan- guage very easy, and in two months I could understand practically everything and could speak well, too, even teaching my mother many words and phrases. After a year we moved to South Boston, to be nearer my father’s shop. I did not have any companions or children to play with, so consequently I was alone a great, deal of the time. Sometimes I went to the other side of South Boston, near the water, and played with my cousins. One Sunday I went to visit them with my father. It was cold then, and as there was nothing else to do, we thought it great fun to wheel their brother around in his carriage. We had many quarrels to see which one was to wheel that carriage, and I always lost, because they claimed that he was their baby brother, and not mine. When 1 was six years of age a little sister was born. How great was my delight, no one could imagine! I was with that baby morning and night. At last I could lord it over my cousins, because now their baby brother was bigger and could not be wheeled in a carriage and my sister could. I took the best of care of that sister, almost as good as my mother did. We lived in this section but two years, when we moved into the same house that my cousins lived in. I entered the Oliver Hazard Perry School in the fourth grade, and later my sister went to the kindergarten in the Joseph Tuckerman School. In the summer time we had great fun on the beach. We played all sorts of amusing games, such as making water holes, playing store in the water, guessing games, and making automobiles out of sand. In this way I passed my years up to the age of twelve, when I graduated from the Oliver Hazard Perry School. At this time my father decided to buy a small store, because he found that if he worked for somebody else he could making a living, but if he worked for himself he could make a living and save besides. He SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 bought a variety store on Dorchester street, South Boston. This is not a very good neigh- borhood, but my father did not notice the neighborhood until after the store was bought. We moved into a small tenement of three rooms near the store. These rooms were by no means ideal, as they were dark, contained gas fixtures, and needed papering and painting badly. We lived in this wretched dwelling place two months, when my father and mother realized their mistake. He immediately set out to find another store so that we could get out of there. Meanwhile I had entered the South Boston High School and had taken the normal course. My sister, Vera, was in the third grade. By looking in the papers, my father found a small store on Cross street, Somerville. My mother and I knew nothing about this, and when one Sunday my father came back from Somerville and told us that he had given a deposit on a store, it was a great surprise to us. My mother was greatly displeased and didn’t hesitate to tell my father so. She was afraid he might go wrong with this store as he had with the other one. My father managed to sell the other store, and after two months we moved to Somerville into a nice, comfortable tenement on Broadway Place, quite different from our other one. I then had to change schools and I entered the Eastern Junior High School, third year, and my sister went to the Prescott School. While we lived there I made only one girl friend. Our landlady was not the best of her kind and my father and mother could not get along with her, so my father thought that it would be better for him if he stopped paying rent and bought a home of his own. After looking around for a while, he found a fine three-story house on Pearl street, Somerville. This is our present home. Shortly after we moved in everything became peaceful. A year after we changed dwelling places I graduated from the Eastern Junior High School and took up my studies in the Somerville High School. I was not so much interested in that graduation as I was in my graduation from the Oliver Hazard Perry School. At that one I had a part in the play, “America.” My part was the part of a Rus- sian girl, which suited me as no other part could. I also had a short speech and felt quite proud, until it came time to say it. In the Somerville High School I elected the commercial course and I like it. I passed my sophomore year successfully and received ail my points. About this time I joined a Young Judea Club. We had many good times, but when this club became co-educational I dropped from it. That summer I spent a week at the cottage of a friend in Billerica, where I had many exciting adventures, including rowing down a river with a strong current against us and with only one oar. But this was nothing as compared with an important incident which happened the following summer, an incident which I shall never forget. In July circulars were thrown in at our door describing lots of land which were to be sold at an auction sale in a new location named Westwood. To induce the people to come out and see the land, the promoters promised to give away free one lot of land and a Ford auto- mobile. Also they would pay all train fares. My mother thought she would like to see what kind of land there was there, so on the follow- ing afternoon we started out. I enjoyed the train ride very much, more so because I had never been on a train before. We found the place and looked around at the lots of land that were for sale. Then the men began to auction them off and between every sale they gave away a set of dishes. My mother didn’t care for the land so she didn’t bid anything and neither did we get any dishes. At 6 o’clock they served, free, a clam supper, and after that we were just about to go home when they gave out tickets for the raffle for the lot of land. We had forgotten all about this. My mother and I received one, and when all the tickets were shaken together, a child picked one out and the man called out the lucky number. To the surprise of everyone, and most to myself, he called my number! I was the lucky one in all that crowd! I could have been “knocked down with a feather” when I heard my number called. He then gave out the tickets for the Ford automobile and mv mother was given one along with the rest. He called out five num- bers and one of the five would win the automo- bile. My mother was the last to be called, but I wasn’t one bit excited about that because we had had enough luck for one day. The man then called out one number at a time, and the number that remained in the box would get the Ford. Every one was called out until only mother and a man were left. Then I began to get excited. The number he called out this time would not get the automobile! The sus- pense was awful! At last he called the num- ber. It was the man’s number! My mother had won the automobile! Everyone rushed around her and congratulated her, but when it was learned that the same family won the lot and the automobile both, there was great ex- citement. Many cried it was not honest, but (Continued on Page 60) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 150 A Tragedy of Niagara Dorothea Hayes, 1925 IIAGARA FALLS, what a wonder work of God you are! To few persons has been given the privilege of going over your brink _ and living to tell of it afterwards. Barbara, my chum, and I were watching the angry waters of the hurrying river hustle along to the great falls a few hundred feet away. With her natural recklessness my companion leaned over the guard rail and gazed into the swirling green waters. Suddenly the guard rail gave way. I grabbed Barbara and pushed her back to safety. And then— Help! Help! I was slipping—Barbara’s safety was my doom. Down, down, down, I fell into the rushing river. Fear turned me to ice. In vain I struggled with sinews, sinews strength- ened by the love of life and of light. On, on, still on, the river hurried me straight to doom. Oh, Heaven! I heard the torrent’s sullen vo:?e. I closed my eyes, I dared not look again at the fleeting shore, or the lofty trees that flew by me like birds on the wing. 0 God! 0 Life! My Home! and all those that made it dear to me. I could not pray. 0 blackest despair! The man-killing torrent thundered on! Frightfully it hurled me over the dizzy edge; it bruised me hideously as it dashed me from ledge to ledge, from crag to crag in unspeakable pain. But I did not die—horrible anguish stunned my senses into sleep. Gradually the light of life returned and I found myself on my bed- room floor. I had fallen from the bed in which Barbara was even now peacefully sleeping. With joyful surprise I realized that it had all been a dream, a hideous, unforgettable dream. EDITORIALS (Continued from Page 54) pair of tackles in Bickford and Bowlby, and good backs in Breen and Hogan. Without claiming that Somerville had a championship team, we cannot help but deplore the obstacles that confronted the team. It may be truth- fully said that after the first game the Rindge game was the only one in which we had our full strength on the field, and then for but a short time. The variance in coaching may also be considered as a detriment. Any team would become confused under five or six differ- ent men and methods. Finally, though we dislike to offer so common an excuse, luck played a large part in the lowering of our prestige on the gridiron. Dame Fortune rarely smiled on the Red and Blue and often on the •opposition. But cheer up! The baseball season is com- ing, and with a veteran championship nine we may hope for the best! We are proud to announce to the student body that we now have a room of our own. This room between 114 and 115 is to be known as the Radiator Room. It has been needed for -a long time. Its need was suggested to us by last year’s staff. If you have something to contribute to the Radiator, pass it in at this room, but do not forget to affix your signature as it is necessary many times to trace material to its writer for affirmation or correction. AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY (Continued from Page 59) no one could testify about the honesty of that as we could, because we had never seen the place or the people before. The others were taken to the train in a jitney bus, but the man took us in his own sedan. While waiting for the train all eyes were on us. On the train I kept telling my mother to pinch me, because I expected at any time to wake up and find it all a dream. She did pinch me, too. When we arrived at our store we told my father. He was greatly surprised, as might be expected, and thought we were fooling him. Altogether that was a very eventful day for our family. In September I entered my Senior year at the Somerville High School, continuing with the commercial course. When I finish my high school course I am planning to enter the Col- lege of Practical Arts and Letters of the Bos- ton University, and take a certificate course. I should like to be a secretary in a school, a con- fidential secretary, even though I am a girl, or I should like to work in a bank. Much that is to come in my life is yet uncertain, but my one wish is that I may be a success in life. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 On the Subject of Dinner John Connolly, 1925 E were all there—all the old friends —all the old club—at our twentieth anniversary banquet. How faces had changed! Some looked pros- perous, others, oppressed by the cares of business. The passing years had left their marks, but this—this was not a time for worry, financial or business cares -this was a reunion of old chums. Some one had said well: “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” And this we followed to the last. The toastmaster arose and his face lighted up as he viewed all the old familiar faces. We leaned back in an expectant and listening at- titude. “My friends,” he said, “we are gathered hero tonight for old time’s sake, for the past, for yesterday. I came to talk of the good, the happy things of life, yet—I cannot. Duty stares me in the face and I must not fail her. There is an awful threatening approaching, slowly but surely. It is the bane of the house- wife and mother, the curse of the husband and father, the dread of the children. In these days of the high cost of living it is becoming more troublesome, more appalling with the numerous varieties of food we have to pick and choose from.” Here he paused and we sat silent, stunned, like men in a trance. Then he went on. “My friends, the question is—what shall we have for dinner?” Some ten minutes later when our mirth had somewhat subsided another member was called upon to speak, a man noted for his wit. “Fellow howlers,” he greeted us, “it seems to me that the question before the house is im- portant. It takes me back to the question of the old pessimist: ‘Do we eat to live or do we live to eat?’ This may be looked at in two ways; in fact, there are two sides to every question, as the prisoner said when he rattled the bars.” He went on, waxing wittier every moment. He closed with a quotation which I wish to repeat. I have forgotten the author. We may live without poetry, music and art. We may live without conscience and live without heart, We may live without friends, and live with- out books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. We may live without books—what is knowl- edge but grieving? We may live without hope—what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love—what is passion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining? And we all agreed. The Thanksgiving Game Ethel White, 1925 JT was the day before the Thanksgiv- ing game and dense gloom pre- vailed in the sporting circle of the school. It had just been announced that the captain, who was also the star player of the team, was in- eligible to play because he had failed in algebra. The team was discouraged and downhearted, the manager was in despair. “Of all subjects to fail in, algebra!” he mut- tered savagely. A dozen plans were feverishly proposed and as feverishly rejected. As a last resort the manager telephoned the algebra teacher, and after much arguing and pleading, it was agreed that the captain should take a test which would determine whether he could play or not. The mathematically inclined players were hastily summoned to the manager’s home, where, working in relays, they proceeded to coach their unfortunate captain. All that afternoon and evening they toiled unceasingly. Phrases such as these were fre- quently heard: “No, you thick head, you add exponents, don’t multiply ’em.” “Listen, apple, and remember it, the square of the first, the square of the last, plus twice their product.” “Unlike signs give minus,” and so on with- out a break. Thanksgiving morning dawned clear and cold, an ideal football day. Nine o’clock found the team assembled on the algebra teacher’s porch, sitting along the railing like so many sticks, anxiously awaiting the verdict. In- doors their perspiring captain was pouring over the test. Every little while some one would rise, and (Continued on Page 62) 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR If Only A Flay That Might Have Been Beatrice Bates, 192(5 Scene: Before Senate House, Rome. Voice from Crowd: “Hark, Cicero! Hail Cicero! Great Cicero! Noble Cicero, hark!” Cicero: “Cicero listeneth. Speak, worthy son of Rome!” Roman Youth: “Salve, Great Cicero! I pray thee, pardon this boldness of mine—for it is boldness that one so young e’en dare to touch the feet of one so great—but ah, my cause! Great sire, my cause is most noble, most virtu- ous!” Cicero: “Ah, remarkable! That life of yours has a value. Name the cause, son of Rome.” Roman Youth: “You permit me, oh, most noble Cicero? It may take some time. See these multitudes about you—the senators, the equestrians, the plebs? They wait for the Great Cicero to speak to them.” Cicero (thundering): “Name thy cause, son. Yon multitude, be it of emperors or senators, shall wait!” Roman Youth: “Then I shall speak. But mine words are for thine ears alone. (Draws him aside.) Oh, Great Cicero, well knowest thou that thou hast great fame as an orator?” Cicero: “Yes, yes, of course.” Roman Youth: “But also hast thou not greater fame for thy merciful ways and humane?” Cicero (proudly): “Indeed, indeed.” Roman Youth: “And thy greatest laurels rest on the latter, do they not?” Cicero: “Ah, true. There is no more merci- ful man in the world than Marcus Tullius Cicero!” Roman Youth: “And all the people respect thee for this and love thee and hail thee in the streets like the great multitude yonder. Even the senators, the fathers of Rome, honor Cicero, the considerate!” Cicero: “Yes, yes, honorable youth, thy words are true, true. But come, what of the cause of this speech? Speak, the crowd grows restless for its orator.” Roman Youth: “Wait, I pray thee. But let thine eyes wander over yon great gathering. Then think that each passing year shall bring another multitude and each multitude shall sing the praises of Cicero. Shall sing them I say, if—and there lies the cause of this speech. Thou intended today to make an oration in the Senate-house against thine enemy, Cataline. Several more orations will be sure to follow. Look out over the praising multitudes; think • f the multitudes to come and make not those speeches, lest the praise of thee and thy claim to humanity be blighted. “I implore thee, Cicero, speak not thine ora- tions, for think, in the future years, of the great cruelty they will inflict; think of the eyes blinded by midnight study; think of the care- worn brows, the stooping shoulders!” Cicero (after pondering): “You—are—- right, son of Rome. I shall not speak in the Senate-house. Instead I shall have that arch- conspirator beheaded quietly. “But—.” Act 2 A scene as is: A school-room of the Somer- ville High School (probably Room 106).

Quiet settled down upon the group roosting on the rail, each one deep in his own thoughts. The door opened slowly and the captain ap- peared in the doorway. Immediately there arose a hubbub. “Was it hard?” “How many did you get right ?” “Did you remember what I said about exponents?” The coach rushed to the rescue. “Shut up,” he commanded witheringly. “he did the best he could, so lay off.” Inside the house the teacher was correcting the paper. In reality, it took five minutes, but to those outside it seemed a year. Perhaps it was because the teacher remem- bered how he himself had led the team not so many years ago, that prompted him to give the passing mark of C—instead of a possible D. The news was received hilariously by the team, and the manager sighed blissfully to the coach: “Now I can eat that turkey in peace,” for they both knew that in such a mood it would be impossible to beat their team. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 63 THE PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club has had an interesting program during the month of November. We were favored in having a delightful after- noon with Mr. Edward Mordant and his wife. Mr. Mordant was playing in “Saint Joan” at the Tremont Theatre. He gave a most inter- esting talk in the Clayton Ellis Auditorium, at which members of the English Club were pres- ent as the guests of the Players’ Club. Mr. Mordant is a very pleasing type, with a wealth of personality which may well be en- vied (and perhaps was). He captured his audi- ence with his simple narrative of his first ven- ture in a large company. Although Mr. Mor- dant has proved successful on the stage, he warned those present not to be too anxious if talented; for one may prove successful in local plays, but not quite as capable when they are viewed by none too lenient managers and audi- ences. At the close of Mr. Mordant’s talk the in- vited guests adjourned to Room 10, where Mr. and Mrs. Mordant were assisted in receiving by Mr. Avery, Albert Irving, president of the Players’ Club; Bartlett Stoodley, president of the English Club. Miss Rita Mollett, of the English Club, and Miss Gertrude Murphy, of the Players Club, served, assisted by Senior members of the Club. Richard Valente played the piano during the social, and may well be complimented on his well-chosen selections. Mr. and Mrs. Mordant were made honorary members of the Somerville High School Play- ers’ Club, and are proudly wearing their pins. The miniature stage of “Farrington's Suits” was on display, and won much favorable com- ment from Mr. Mordant and his wife. The merit of this stage goes to George Kelly, class of 1924, and Alden Edkins, class of 1925. The Christmas play and the Senior play are well under way, and should prove a great suc- cess under Miss Bell’s faithful coaching. Miss Bell has been elected to the vice-presi- dency of the Drama League of Boston. Ac- cept our congratulations, Miss Bell! Room 10 has been supplied with new lights and new window shades, thanks to Mr. Kelly. THE CHESS TEAM The Chess Team has been chosen and is as follows: James Reed, captain; Manuel Leema, Arthur Albannato, Edward Fenn, Harold Green- ough and Erwin Harriman. This does not mean that the others who have tried out have been definitely placed out of reach of the team. If they try hard they can soon be on the team by defeating one of the players. THE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The new officers of the Girls’ Debating So- ciety are as follows:— President Mabel Gunning Vice-President Ruth Schofield Sec. and Treasurer Anna Sandstrom Executive Committee Elena Ivaska Katherine Croy Helen O’Brien The officers hope that they may prove as worthy as those who have preceded them. The Society is making plans for public inter- scholastic debates to be held at intervals throughout the year. In observance of Education Week a special program was arranged for Wednesday evening, November 19. About five hundred parents were present. Mr. Avery presided and there was music by the High School Orchestra. Pupils of the school spoke on the various courses which the school offers. Gladys Ilerd- erhurst had for her subject: “The Advantage of the Commercial Course”; Thomas Kennedy, “The Opportunities of the College Course”; Thelma Colwell, “The Value of the General Course,” and Donald Pring, “The Aim of the Scientific Course.” Albert McGowan told of the 64 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Extra-Curriculum Activities,” Alden Edkins sang a bass solo- Harry Dickson gave a violin selection, and Eleanor Packard played two piano solos. POETRY CLUB The first meeting of the Poetry Club was held Thursday, December 4, in Room 201. The meeting was opened by the chairman, Dean Swan, who introduced the speaker, Miss Sprague. Miss Sprague discoursed upon the lecture of the English poet, Walter De La Mere, whom she had heard speak on the subject, “The Magic of Poetry.” Mrs. Topliff supplemented the talk by reciting an interesting poem by Walter De La Mere. Miss Beatrice Mann read one of her poems entitled “The Song of the Viking Farer,” and Charles Jellison read his entitled “Sea Life.” Five unpublished poems by John Holmes, class of 1924, were read. Miss Anna Meaney and Miss Dorothy Eaton, the latter of the Junior class, also read their latest poems. A game of rhymes closed the meeting. SHORT-STORY CLUB A meeting of the short-story division of the English Club was held December 4, 1924, in Room 105. The president, Beatrice Bates, pre- sided. Two short stories from the Boston Traveler Contest were read and criticised for lack of plot. They were shown to be enlarged inci- dents rather than real short stories. One of 0. Henry’s short stories was read and examined as a good example of short-story technique. JOURNALISM CLUB A very interesting, informal meeting of the Journalism Club was held in Room 309, Thurs- day. Miss MacAllister had charge of the meeting, and told us many interesting plans concerning the work we expect to accomplish. The club, acting on the suggestion of Miss Todd, voted to start a small, type-written newspaper, which we hope will become the official organ of the English Club. Next month certain members of our club are to bring copies of different newspapers and discuss their good and bad points. Each mem- ber will bring an original editorial to our next meeting, from which editorials will be selected for our paper. Indeed, the club hopes to do a great deal of interesting and beneficial journal- ism work. ENGLISH CLUB (PLAYWRITING) On Thursday, December 4, the play-writing group of the English Club held a meeting. As some of the members belong to two groups of the club, there were not as many present as had been anticipated. Miss Smith read the first scene from “What People Do,” and the structure of the play was then discussed. Miss Buell made some suggestions, and by the close of the meeting it was decided that each mem- ber should attempt to write a short one-act play or scene, and later to act out the best ones, the different members taking the parts. The aim of the club is to decide what plays are worthwhile so that we may learn to appreciate them. The Junior and Senior Girls’ Glee Club is having a very successful season, under the supervision and leadership of Miss Todd and Miss Charlotte Rosin, with nearly one hundred members who attend the meetings regularly. For the last few weeks we have been combin- ing our efforts with the Boys’ Glee Club, and are practicing special Christmas music with which we shall assist the Players’ Club in giv- ing their Christmas play. Our treasurer, Helen Gordon, is now collect- ing the dues, which are fifty cents, and which will be used to buy new music. THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL The objects of the Students’ Council are ex- clusively those which will uplift our school standard and establish a system of co-operation between the faculty and pupils. This system has been carried on successfully for two years, and has shown such excellent results as to war- rant its continuation. Part of its duties is to take responsibility of many minor offences and pass judgment upon them. The Students’ Council not only aims to im- prove the spirit of the student body, but also represents them in all their undertakings. Although the Traffic Squad is not of our de- partment, it works with us and helps us in many of our tasks. The Students’ Council may be likened to the city government and the Traf- fic Squad to the police force. With Mr. Avery’s consent we help to make the rules for the bet terment of our school, and the Traffic Squad helps to enforce them. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 65 Poetry The Poetry Page this month presents sev- eral poems, which because of their cleverness and originality of style have been deemed worthy of the attention of our readers. These are of an entirely different character than those previously printed, and we believe that our readers will take great interest in them. We also offer several poems of the more .:eri- ous nature to which our poetry column usually leans. Aram Movsessian's poem, “Reading,” is clever, witty and exceptional. It can be best appreciated when read rather quickly in order to properly stress its euphony. “More Non- sense Than Poetry,” by Edward L. Wisewell, Jr., is another striking example of clever wit wended into poetry. Dorothy Eaton exhibits these same attractive qualities in her “Jim Indeed.” In contrast we print Charles Miers’ poem, “The Sea.” It is pretty and pleasing; it abounds in musical sounds. “Reminiscence,” by Bartlett Stoodley, symbolizes the great possibilities of the “beauty of expression.’ It contains well-chosen similes and metaphori- cal expressions. JIM INDEED My little brother Jimmie has a love for oddest things, For door-knobs, tar-balls, candle-greese, June- bugs and old bed-springs. Each season has its special joy, some fool- ishness he'll find; A ski-pole or a top can make that boy quite lose his mind. When marble-time is here they all play “bunny in the hold,” Our Jimmie enters in the fray with all his heart and soul; In those exciting times when fortunes change hands over night, Our Jim amasses such a pile! Dad says: “Well, Jim, you might Have given Ed or A1 or someone else some sort of show.” “But listen. Dad, it’s fair. Sweet cats! they’re bigger’n me, you know.” And I chime in and say: “Oh, yes, let him reap while he can, I only hope those traits prevail when Jimmie’s grown a man.” (I’m Jimmie’s elder and I like the boy to know, you see, How very much more worldly-wise and learn’d I am than he.) I turned the house ’most upside down once, looking for my shoes, And Dad, he would make fun of me— “Such tiny things to lose!” At last I came upon them ’neath the table in the hall, Jim’d taken my new shoe-lacings to tie his old football- Once Bob was waiting in the hall to take me to a show, But I had lost my powder-puff; of course I couldn’t go Until I found it. Then I thought of Jim; that bold young one, The scamp had used my powder-puff to stuff his old cork gun. He’s always into mischief and he teases all he can, And that I hope he will forget, before he’s grown a man. —Dorothy Eaton. READING (Read with speed) Reading, I can’t tolerate, However, I must subjugate, Even if I suffocate, At the «reat attempt. Many, me, commiserate, And also do prognosticate, That I shall never elevate, If I soon do not create A love, for reading books; All this I appreciate, But really reading I do hate. Well, I suppose at any rate, Time will soon necessitate The need, for reading books. By reading I’ll illuminate The road, that leads to “Educate,” And there I will eradicate My hate, for reading books. - Aram Movsessian. THE SEA I like to watch the sea— The kissing, roaring sea, To watch the whitened foam, To hear the green waves crash, To see the cold wind lash The water into foam. —Charles Miers. 66 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR REMINISCENCE Alone, by the ocean wide I stand in silent ad- miration ; Far oft the brilliant setting sun illumines hill and dale, And with its wealth of colors divine it lights the darkening world; Then such a wondTous show of silent heav’nly splendor I see As God alone, upon his throne, can give to mortal man. It lights the azure vault of heav’n with beauty unsurpassed; It tints the mighty mountains with a hue of awesome flame; It fires the rushing waves upon the boundless heaving sea. How soft thy colors, yet, like God, how mighty in grandeur still. And oh, behold! As I do gaze in silent ecstacy. There flashes upon my inner self the thought of things long dead. But now the glorious sun has sunk below the western hill, The hues are giving way to dusk, the mountain disappears; The waves without their golden crests, hear them lash the shore! And how like reminiscence that which anon in the sky I saw; For it recalled with tongue of gold the noble departed day; It crowned the wave and mountain high with the brilliance of God’s own hand Just as, when viewed from the realms of today the past assumes a shade Which causes the mem’ry of things gone by to rise in the mortal heart, Till it bursts forth, and, soaring still, it reaches the throne of God! And it leaves as does the setting sun, a world so dark and drear! Ah, sunset, thou hast left me in the dismal gloom of night, But reminiscence still I have and it lightens the sea of life Just as the soothing radiance did gild the swell- ing wave. Black night, thou disappearest when into my heart I gaze! —Bartlett Stoodley, 1925. MORE NONSENSE THAN POETRY A farmer lad once went to town, Upon a market day, The suit he wore was golden brown. His hair was quite like hay. He rode upon a three-wheeled “bike,” And reached there just at noon, It seems he saw what looked just like A captive gas balloon. On walking close he soon perceived It looked more like a house. Four legs it had. He thought it was Perhaps, a giant mouse. But I must say, by poets’ law That this is naught but talk. An elephant was what he saw And soon he saw it walk. —Edward L. Wisewell, Jr- rp • • I nvia The winter air is bracing, a full moon in the clear sky that bends above. Skates are slung over my shoulder and my red scarf floats be- hind. My cup brimmed over; I was not content. My cup was empty; I was not content. I watched two tiny children make mud-pies on the beach. Again and again sounded their merry laughter. Little realized they how- hol- low the years would make it. But cynic that I am, God has planned His world! She is a little rippling person whose eyes smile at you. But in anger those eyes flash fire. Beware! ye world! Beware! The world is drab, sir? Ah, no, never, kind sir. Think you of sun on blue, blue waters! Think you of emeralds and pearls at dawning! Think you of sunset o’er mountains capped SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 67 ■with diamonds! Think you of that little town twinkling in the black of night! The world is drab, sir? Ah, no, never, kind sir! All day he swings beneath the light, the paper parrot. Swings there, never says a word, the paper parrot. As I sat ’neath that leafy green tree my thoughts were all scattered and tumbled. Then the south wind rustled the branches like a breath of the Infinite and my mind found peace. Through the rushing darkness I caught glimpses of life in the heart of the town. Here a butcher closed his shop; there a poor vender toiled home with his unsold goods. Then a Chinaman's windows all steamed; and now a mother sings a lullaby in the soft lamplight. But again the rushing darkness—nothing more. See far out over those waters where the great red sun is sinking? Ah, there is where my spirit lingers, seeks adventure, finds content Autumn leaves fall early, Winter brings the snow— Means hard work, the winter, But care I—care I? No! An old, old picture of a happy boy and girl! They lived their span as shall I. They lived a useful life and good. Shall I? The mighty waves break o’er the ship, break high above the deck. Some ships go down in the raging deep, but others—others brave the storm. —Beatrice Bates, 1926. THE WORLD What is it? Has it any dimensions? Has there been a beginning? Will there be an end? I don’t know. I didn’t see the beginning if there was one and I probably shan’t see the end. So I am not in a position to unfold that mystery. And still I ask these questions which will go unanswered until Eternity. HARVARD HATS It became the style in 1924, for Harvard stu- dents and others who copy them, to wear grey felt slouch hats, well squashed down over their ears. I often wondered how these people got around at all, their eyes were so well shaded. I also wondered if the knights of old were re- turning with their flowing plumes, for in the black hat band was stuck jauntily—a small red feather. WEALTHY? Last night I was rich, wealthy! I had a home, a warm home. I had comfortable cloth- ing. I had a more than comfortable chair. I had a good light. Ah ! but you say: “These are the bare necessities,”—perhaps. I had, too, one other thing, I had a whole evening before me. But again you interrupt: “That is nothing, there are loads of evenings,” all coming, too. Last night I was rich, wealthy, I had twenty cents worth of apples (good ones, too) and Rafael Sabatini to tell me a story. Now, I dare you defy me. Last night I was rich, wealthy. DAWN A fallen log on the pebbly shore. A gray mirror lake reflecting the pines. The gray, gray sky—waiting, waiting. These, these are the settings. Breathlessly I watch. Birds in the green wall of pines twitter lazily. From far across the lake the cock’s shrill crow. A cock the only herald of such wonders! Fie! ye world that blasts its trumpets for tiny splen- dors! Know ye not that this—this is magni- ficence? Fie! ye world that makes ado o’er canvas paintings. Know ye not that this—this is Magnificence? Breathlessly I watch and then—God smiles upon His earth and ’tis Dawn! I walked by the pine-fringed lake at sunset; Walked alone through the beauty He made. Let men have their tinsel cities! IN THE CAPE COD PINES Deep through the heart of the pine woods winds a trail. From far below in the trees of the valley comes the song of a bird and the shot of a hunter. A great bog like a deep plush carpet stretches before us. Then again the whispering pines and withering oak-leaves. Still on and on winds the trail. How many years have seen it? How many feet have trod it? I can answer not, nor care I, but always in my memory this little trail shall have a fond and sacred spot. —Hazelle Foster. 68 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT It is really worth while to step into the Bos- ton Public Library, for it holds something of interest for everyone. There are, first, the con- veniences for study, which appeal to the stu- dent, the stacks of reference books and the helpful librarians. The artistically inclined person would enjoy John Singer Sargent’s beau- tiful mural paintings depicting Biblical stories, and Edwin Abbey’s famous pictures of the Holy Grail. There is also a room devoted to ex- hibitions of various types of art. For the musical person there is the room which is lined with books pertaining to music and biographies of eminent singers, instrumentalists and com- posers. In the corner is one of the earliest pianos with worn yellowed keys. In addition there is an excellent collection of autographs and a number of priceless first editions. Free public lectures on varying subjects are given in the library several times a week. One of the newest books is the biography of Woodrow Wilson by William Allen White, which promises to be a clear, impartial study of the man. Mr. White himself is primarily a newspaper man, but he has gained prominence largely by his recent gubernatorial campaign in Kansas and his opposition to the Klan. He has always been interested in politics, being a member of the Progressive National Commit- tee in 1912. He went abroad in the interests of the Red Cross in 1917, and as a delegate to the Russian Conference in 1919. He is a trustee of the College of Emporia, Kansas; of the Rockefeller Foundation; of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation; a member of the Jur of Award for the Bok peace plan, and a member of National Association of Arts and Letters. He has to his credit a number of magazine stories and editorials. Thus it would seem that as a man of experience in the field of poli- tics and letters, he is thoroughly fitted to write the biography of Woodrow Wilson. It has been ordered by the Somerville Public Library, and will soon be ready for circulation. Readers of “The Perfect Tribute” and “The Counsel Assigned” will be glad to know that Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews has written another appealing Lincoln story, “Passing the Torch.” The crossword puzzle books rank very high in the lists of this month’s best sellers. Switzerland is very proud in that she has a living poet of international fame, Carl Spitteler, practically the only Swiss poet of importance since 1850. The Autobiography of a Log Cabin Lady is the anonymous record of an American society lady’s life. In it she describes the blunders and social errors she committed when she stepped from the Western wilderness to New York society and then to the courts of France, England and Italy.

Kennedy—Editor David Warsowe—Assistant Editor Room 115 is well represented on the Radi- ator staff, having the editor-in-chief, the Senior class editor and the assistant editor. One of the physical training leaders in Room 115 has introduced a new exercise—the foot, leg and hiccup exercise. We suggest that he start on the hair-raising exercise. Heard in 205: “As a teacher I make a first- class nursemaid. I can put you to sleep at any time!” Nursemaids, look to your laurels! Teacher in 102 reading from a history paper: “One of the habits handed down to us by the Pilgrims was Monday, washday.” In III History F there was an admirable in- stance of independent voting. Joseph Caines received one vote for the office of governor. We wonder what his party politics are? The Somerville High School co-operative spirit is shown admirably by the fact that Mr. Wilkins meets his classes regularly, and is succeeding in his teaching in spite of the fact that he has use of only one eye. The upper-class students certainly appreciate the fact that the Sophomores are acquainted with the different rooms in the building. Need- less to say, the teachers are glad also. When Mr. Carrier tells a joke, strain your ears and get it right the first time, for if asked to repeat it, he always says: “Never mind, that was like the rest of my jokes, no point to them at all.” We’ll admit he’s very modest. It would surely add to a pupil’s interest in the school, if every now and then, to those who would take the opportunity, the privilege were given to hear select pieces given by local talent or by professional musicians. ROOM 123 Wonders are happening when M. (). overcomes her shyness. D. D. stops talking. E. A. and M. O. bob their hair. B. R. stops smiling. M. M. is caught whispering. R. T. is found not reading story books. D. B. grows taller. Teacher (noting empty seat in the class- room) : “Does anyone know whether F—G— is ill or not?” Enthusiastic Sophomore: “He’s not ill; he’s absent.” Heard in 1-2 Stenography Class:— Miss F. to pupil: “What letter is turned in the word pickle?” Excited Pupil: “Pickle turned.” With mustered courage W. I), and T. L., of 115, visited Mr. Mordant after a performance of “Saint Joan” which they attended. He showed them about behind the scenes and ex- plained various things of interest. We want it brought to the attention of the pupils that there are two Frank Calandrellas in this school: Frank X. and Frank J. The former wrote the excellent theme on “Smok- ing,” and the latter is the frequent contribu- tor to the poetry column. Due to the temporary inability of Mr. Wil- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 71 kins to use one eye, his geometry class suffers by having unexpected tests. Movsessian asks: “What do you mean by suffer? Taking tests is my greatest pleasure.” 115 is well represented in the Senior Play, having three of its members in the cast, and one of its members on the committee. Roughing it in verse:— “What is the new poetry?” “A mixture of crude studies and studied crudeness.” Heard in the sixth period history class:— Pupil to Teacher: “Does the President ever lose his seat?” Two of the girls in 123, Winifred Caswell and Loretta Sousa, made the credit roll last quarter, and there are many more trying for it this quarter. Elsie Wooldrich, 123, who takes dressmak- ing, has finished a flannel dress. Heard in the salesmanship class:— Teacher: “What are you looking at?” Pupil: “At the sun.” Teacher: “How do you spell it?” Pupil: “The common way, of course.” Teacher in English division III-H: “Who can explain Saloop?” Brilliant Pupil: “He was the old woman’s son.” (Note: Look up Saloop in the big dictionary.) Class in economics:— 1. Do you think that Houdini could change from a wholesaler to a retailer in fortv-twu seconds ? 2. What makes the consumer consume, and what happens when he does not? 3. Did Caruso have anything to do with the invention of the half-tone? 4. A prominent manufacturer wants to bottle sardines instead of canning them. Do you think this is wise? 5. Give the economic history of Ilaliotosis. Room 123: No man’s land. Sophomore: “What is that awful odor? Do you suppose it comes from Squire’s factory?” Junior (Home Room 311): “It is only the chemical laboratory in 314; you mustn’t mind a little thing like that.” Heard in review chemistry: — Prof.: “I hope you all are in your right stalls.” Answer: Laugh. Prof, (turning to teacher beside him): “You know stall is a very good word to use for these people.” Who says Mr. Wilkins is handicapped by his eyesight? He isn’t handicapped, he’s eye- capped. The Seniors seem to have had great difficulty in electing a class treasurer. They had to vote five times. Let’s hope the Sophomores have better luck. The first meeting of the Senior class was held October 24 in the High School Hall with Mr. Avery presiding. The newly-elected of- ficers were introduced and expressed their ap- preciation. The class dues were voted to be twenty-five cents. A very profitable and interesting period was spent by Mrs. Topliff’s Senior English class, IV-B, recently, in a discussion and review of Shakespeare, his works, the stage, and his time. Each member had been asked to bring a standard work of the times, which was sum- marized and discussed. An extensive and in- teresting collection of pictures, showing the poet’s home, the stage of the times, Stratford- on-Avon, and a duplicate of the first page of the First Folio, gave a clearer idea of the great genius and the times he lived in. Every stu- dent was asked to examine the pictures, tak- ing notes on the one which impressed him most, with the thought that at some time later on he would be asked to describe it. Mrs. Topliff called particular attention to a work by the most prominent writer of the Elizabethan period,—Sidney Lee’s “Shakespeare and the Modern Stage,” which is on the book shelves in Room 110 and which she will be very glad to lend. 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Helen Gordon— When a Junior Was Young Sunday School Teacher: “John the Baptist was a hermit. Now children, what is a her- mit?” Tiny Voice: “A hermit is a ’lasses cooky like what mama makes.” Assistant Editor Miss A: “Write the names of your cousins in French.” L. C. (meekly): “Heavens, I have twenty- four!” Miss C: “Is Hill absent?” Voice: “No, he was here yesterday.” 72 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR We wonder if there are any Juniors who still believe in Santa Claus. Don’t laugh—one has been found. Strange that none of the Juniors have con- quered that ancient- art of sliding down the banisters. On the third floor, West Building, one doesn’t have to go to war to be gassed—the chemical laboratories are sufficient. A few Juniors we know are still cross-word puzzle fiends. What? Oh, they’re in 305. 1927 Richard Obear—Editor Fat Warren—Assistant Editor Sophomores! Christmas is here again and we have an extra day or two in our vacation. But don’t forget to come back on January 5, 1925. The Sophomore class is proud of one of its members, Blanche Baptista, who so efficiently acted her part in the play recently presented by the Players’ Club. Miss Baptista holds the distinction of being the only Sophomore to take part in the initial performance of the season. Sophomores! Do not let the Juniors try to tell you that a preposition should not be used to end a sentence with! During the first of the year it was good fun for us Sophomores to get confused in finding our rooms, which made the Traffic Squad work all the harder. But now things are going quite smoothly, both for the Traffic Squad and the Sophomores. Pupils in certain Sophomore rooms who act half asleep during the physical training period are strangely affected by the lunch period bell. The pupils of I English A are planning to give an entertainment each Friday during the English period. This entertainment is to con- sist of original work, including the writing of poetry, short stories and plays. One advantage of having study periods in Room 202 is that those who study there will be brilliant scholars in the history of France. Nearly every pupil in the Sophomore class attended the play given by the Players’ Club. It was both amusing and educational, and we hope that many more such entertainments will be presented. The Sophomore Girls’ Glee Club is fully started on the way to a successful season and a happy year. All those girls who attend on Wednesday afternoon think so. The Sophomores seem to be fairly well rep- resented in every club or organization of which they can be members. Room 228 is proud of its excellent punctual- ity and attendance. Records so far this year show that seventeen girls and ten boys have perfect attendance, while many others have but one absence to mar their record. The floor-master in charge of the second floor. West Building, went into every room on that floor and said: “This is the neatest room on the floor.” We wonder which one he meant! A certain Senior has asked several Sopho- mores for a three-letter Swedish synonym for a four-alarm fire. Tell him to see Mr. Daniel Webster. Sophomores! Lest we forget! Election will soon be here. The lecture which was given by Mr. Del- wanne on the customs of India was very inter- esting, and the Sophomore class was well rep- resented in the audience. Pupil: “Mr. Learned, what was that you wrote on my examination paper?” Prof.: “I wrote that your writing was not legible, and I wish you would write better in the future.” On December 2 a department test in French was given to all first-year pupils studying French. Every division of the Sophomore class has had one period in the West Library, receiving information from Miss Hastings concerning the arrangement and use of the books on the West Library shelves. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATO 73 excShanges I AS WE SEE OTHERS “The Grotonian,” Groton, Massachusetts.— Your paper is as interesting as ever.

Captain “Dick” Warren is the only letterman left; this means that there will be plenty of chance for the fel- low who has the right spirit to make the team. Let’s see every fellow out for the team fight- ing for a position. “Dutch” Ayer will not be able to coach basketball as he is going to de- vote his time to hockey, but he will have a good coach without a doubt to coach the team. If the junior high school is available the team will practice there, and will be able to take showers after practice. Back up the team. HOCKEY Now that the football season has closed, it is time to sharpen up the skates and get out the hockey sticks. Coach Ayer intends to have a good hockey team this year, and with the co- operation of the fellows who know anything about the game he can have a championship club. The prospects for the team are good. There are “Danny” McFayden, our cracker- jack pitcher; “Tacks” Crosby, a puck chaser of no mean ability; Walter Kelson, who is as fast and shifty on the steel runners as he is on the football field, and “Fred” Baker, who played goal guard on Somerville’s last hockey team. A hockey rink in which to practice will probably be erected in the Western Junior High School playground, so that the boys can take showers after practice in the Junior High. The calibre of this team all depends upon the material which the coach has to choose from. Are you going to be a candidate for this team, or are you going to sit back and let the other fellow do it? downs, but Rindge intercepted two Somerville passes and recovered two Somerville fumbles. Rindge scored in the first period, after com- pleting a forward pass that was good for forty- seven yards. The pass was thrown by Smith and caught by Ward. This brought the ball to Somerville’s three-yard line and Smith took it over. Elceweiz failed to kick the goal. The field was very muddy. Rindge did not deserve its second score. In the third period Rindge was given the ball at mid-field on downs, after Captain Kelson had failed to punt on his fourth down because of a poor pass. Smith and McCoy carried the ball to Somerville’s three-yard line. On the fourth down Smith took the ball and was stopped, but he fumbled and Enquist picked it up and made the final tally. McCoy failed to kick the goal. The summary:— RINDGE SOMERVILLE Ward, 1. e., ........... r. e..

Certainly no one capable of meditation and at all observant doubts the statement. As it is not the world’s fault, but the fault of man who lives in it, we must look to him for enlightenment. Whether the good or the bad in man is the stronger and whence they spring have been questions of perpetual discussion and always will be. There are num- berless bad traits of man which a pessimist may discourse upon, and numberless good traits which an optimist may bring to light, and, oftentimes, the same trait is interpreted as good by the one and as bad by the other. The pessimist may justly describe mortals as selfish, hard-hearted, mercenary, impetuous, pleasure-loving, and hypocritical. On the other hand the optimist may typify them as sympa- thetic, affectionate, but just a little forgetful. He is also right; more so, in fact, but, unfortu- nately, not wholly so. There is one thing particularly amusing in man that may be interpreted as good or bad. It is his everlasting desire to be amused in some novel way. The winds are as unchangeable as Gibraltar in comparison with man’s moods. The popularity of such men as Washington, Lin- coln, and Roosevelt, while living, was a thing never to be sure of, for popular opinion is like a pendulum, likely to swing to another at any minute. A most interesting peculiarity of man is the «celerity with which he accepts petty fads and the equal speed with which he tosses them aside for something newer. Without thinking back very far, we recall many, such as the magical Ouija Board and the Mah Jongg craze, which is passing out now, after a stay of only about a year. Radio in its first stages was a fad. Everybody was anxious to buy sets, but though it is now an institution, some have sets that they touch only occasionally. When the newness wore off, their enthusiasm waned. No one needs to be asked what unusual fad now prevails. It is found in almost all news- papers, it is used in advertising, in the comic strips, and even in patterns for wearing ap- parel. Of course, we refer to the cross-word puzzle, the very latest of all whims. But, be- fore we condemn it as another “here-today, gone tomorrow” craze, let us review its good points. Though it was introduced, nurtured and “pushed” by newspaper men as a feature, the public had a large part in its establishment. It grew out of its entertaining and helpful qualities. Contrary to other crazes, it is highly beneficial and its value is endorsed by educa- tors, because it gives a valuable training to the mind, enlarges the vocabulary and, most important, it creates an interest on the part of the individual in words, their meanings, spelling and specific use. Certainly, anything that can accomplish this is worth-while. So, cross-word puzzle fans, don’t let the scornful discourage you, for they are usually the lazy ones who have never tried this fasci- nating and educational pastime, or those who cannot from lack of gray matter. Now turn over a few pages and try the Radi- ator puzzle. It ought to be easy for some of you experts. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 The following letter, especially the last paragraph, greatly interested me, for it shows what may appear a defeat is in reality a moral victory. While the football team did not win a single game, the action of the players made possible this letter, which every member of the student body should carefully consider when reflecting upon the past season. George E. Pearson. High School of Commerce, Boston, December 8, 1924. Dear Mr. Pearson: Please allow me to thank you for your check in payment for my assistance at Somerville this fall. At the same time, may I express to you my appreciation of the courtesy extended me by everyone in connection with your football teams. It was a real pleasure to work with such manly boys. Anyone can win and be pleasant, but I must take my hat oft to a group of young men who can keep their heads in the face of adversity and at the same time come back with a smile. Their life’s lesson may have been expensive, but anything of real value must be dearly paid for. They will win in the real game upon their graduation from school. Again thanking you, I am Yours very trijly, Edward F. Sherlock. Can anyone among us truthfully say: “Dur- ing the course of my life I have never met the formal type of essay”? I don’t believe so, be- cause one time or another we are destined to meet it. Dry and uninteresting as it is, it is very instructive. It is always written in the best style possible—such style that makes these of us who wish to write, jealous. But what I want to tell you about is the formal es- say’s younger brother, the personal informal essay. The informal essay is always written on a general topic, but it brings out the author’s thoughts on the subject. This, of course, means that these essays can be written on any subject and always prove to be very interest- ing. Essays, shorter, not quite so complete, but very interesting, have come to be known by the name of “Trivia.” Perhaps the books of essays called “Trivia,” from which the lat- ter sort of essay gets its name, and “More Trivia,” both by Mr. Logan Pearsall Smith, are the most commonly known. The following are essays of this type on the subject we have been talking about. TRIVIA What is “Trivia?” Many would ask that. “Trivia,” how shall I define you? You’re short and beautiful in your simplicity. Your charac- ter is strong in most cases. You are like a mirror. You reflect your maker’s thoughts as we are in the image of our Maker. “Trivia” is a true friend and a companion. You can find one for your every mood. H. C. F., ’25. WHAT ARE TRIVIA? Whimsical glimpses of life—that is what Trivia are. Thoughts that are commonplace, yet unusual; homely, yet beautiful; poetry, yet not poetry. They are products of the imagina- tion or gleanings from real life. To under- stand them one must open one’s mind and ponder over them, for each holds its own little story within its lines. A young author dubbed his fancies Trivia—so Trivia they have become. B. 0. B., ’26. The committee in the interests of a club- house and locker building on Dilboy Field re- cently had an audience with Mayor Webster, in which Mr. Webster explained logically that the budget for the year had been made up and the tax rate fixed, and since there was no chance for any transfer from other depart- ments, we must wait for the appropriation until spring, but we may be fairly sure of its con- struction during the baseball season. The com- mittee consists of Mrs. Mathews, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Ayer, Clarence Ingalls, Walter Kelson and Daniel MacFayden. 84 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Dawn Bartlett Stoodley, ’25 N the 25th of June, 1909, Fifth avenue, the business centre of New York, that modern Babylon, was well lighted, and yet how gloomy it seemed to the individual who was fumbling with the lock to his office at the top of a pair of cement steps. Three A. M. boomed dismally, reverberatingly, on the morning air as he turned and descended. His figure was tall and exceedingly well built, although somewhat portly, and in his right hand he held a walking-stick. To him the stars blinked dismally, and the moon had lost its splendor; to him Fifth avenue had lost its lus- tre. He turned to the left and made his way up the street toward Central Park, his broad shoulders erect, yet his head bent and his walking-stick hanging listless at his side. But what is that which lurks in the shadow across the street? Now, slowly a crouched figure creeps toward the unsuspecting pedestrian until, when about half way across the street, it suddenly with a stifled snarl of hate hurls itself forward. The man turns with almost a languid slowness just as a cry of mingled hate, pain, and contempt arises from the heart of the rob- ber and he sinks to the ground. In the fury of his precipitous attack, he had wrenched his right ankle on the granite curb- ing. Quickly the would-be victim threw from him his listlessness and rushed to the side of his injured assailant whom, in spite of his feeble struggles, he helped along the street and carried up the steps of his office building. There after much difficulty he unlocked his door and. having pressed on the electric light, continued to his office, where he deposited his burden in a chair and seated himself opposite at his desk. The injured man was exceedingly tall and well built, with hands large but not unkempt. His clothes, however, were shabby. But it was not hands or clothes that attracted the atten- tion of the other. It was his enemy’s face, a face deformed by hate, a face as dark and lowering as a thunder cloud and yet, not unlike the thunder cloud, there was a certain beauty in those defiant eyes, in that stern, set jaw which aroused respect even as the whole face aroused wonder and fear. The face of our early morning pedestrian on the other hand was of a kindly nature, and yet even as he looked at this human derelict, his eyes wavered not. There was, however, a look of melancholy in those expressive blue eyes and sadness in those furrowed cheeks which showed the presence of calamity even as the rainbow denotes the eternal promise of God to man. Suddenly he spoke:— “Don’t glance so covetously toward that door, sir. I am not going to hand you to the police, although I might have once. How is your ankle?’ The fact that the man was defenceless, rather than his words, seemed to influence the other, for he made no attempt to escape al- though he watched his interrogator narrowly, rubbing his ankle meanwhile. “All right,” came gruffly from between set lips. The words were pronounced gutturallv, but something in the man’s voice aroused his wonder. “Why, my man, you have had some little edu- cation. have you not?” “College,” the other muttered. Then sud- denly in wrath: “But what business is it of yours? I want to leave this place and I in- tend to leave it quick. Understand?” The other’s blue eyes were steady. “What has brought you so low as to stoop to attempt the life of a defenceless man ?” “Ah,” he arose in a passion, his great hands clenched, “what are you that you should ask? Have you been downtrodden by the feet of man? Have you been without friends? Have you led a life of wretchedness? Why, I tell you mankind is a mixture of all that is base in this world and I can kill a man without a thought. I could murder those who have turned my life into a living death. You ask me what brought me so low. Low as I am, I am better than wreckers of happiness! God himself has allowed these things to happen and so I must revenge myself. I have looked for a position, an honorable one, and they have turned me from their doors as if I were a beast, and simply because I have not the clothes— the clothes. They—yes, your kind, not mine, —have brought me to this level and now they shall feel the sting of vengeance!” His eyes dilated, his features were distorted in anger. He turned to the door. “Wait! My name is Buttimer. Tomorrow, come here. You want a position. I am a lawyer and need some one to take care of my SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 office. Here, take this and buy yourself some clothes.” He handed the other a little money. For a moment the young man hesitated, then stretching out his muscular hand, he grasped the money, the fierceness of his face only a little relaxed, and limped slowly through the open door and down the steps into the night, his lips tightly pressed to conceal the pain he suffered. Buttimer rose slowly, the exertion of sup- porting the young man had tested his waning strength. “Well,” he muttered huskily, “I've taken a job upon my hands and time alone will tell how successful Eli be, but she would have done it, and never in my life did I appreciate her kindly nature.” And he raised his tired eyes aloft with a look of indescribable melan- choly. The following day Mr. Buttimer was seated at his mahogany desk when a knock resounded on the door. “Come in,” he called wearily. The door opened and in strode his midnight visitor. His hair was becomingly combed, and a well-fitting blue serge suit and shapely shoes made him much more presentable than form- erly, but still the fierceness and hatred lingered in his brown eyes. “I thought you would come. What is your name?” “Call me Armstrong,” came the rebellious answer. “Well, Mr. Armstrong, your duty is to an- swer the door and keep things in this office and in the hall in good order. We will talk of pay later. You may start immediately.” But- timer’s voice was coldly matter-of-fact when speaking of anything pertaining to business. And so Armstrong entered upon his duties, but it was plain that only a certain magnetism that drew him to Buttimer kept him at his work. At every knock he would stride to the door and gaze with such hatred and haughty bear- ing at whoever stood there, that he inspired no little fear. Weeks passed and no change took place in the character of Armstrong. Buttimer had hoped that life at his office and the constant contact with men would cure him of his hate. But now his business was failing. Men called Armstrong “the civilized wild man,” and never entered Buttimer’s office except when it was unavoidable. It was evident that there was something more vital than the refusal of a position which so aroused Armstrong’s hate of man. Once Buttimer in a frantic attempt to arouse some other feeling than hatred, took him on a sight-seeing trip through the streets of New York. His object, of course, was to show to this man of such inexplicable characteristics, the greatest works of man, hoping in this way to force upon Armstrong’s mind the proof of man’s greatness and power. They viewed together the great Metropolitan Art Museum, the Grand Central Station and lastly, as the shades of evening descended, they approached the Woolworth Building, rising story upon story into the very sky. The sun was setting and the building silhouetted against the bright sky majestically. As they gazed, Butti- mer thought that surely such a scene would make a deep impression upon Armstrong. He was right, but the result of that impression was far from what he had wished. The hatred re- mained the same while the contempt was changed to a direful submission to inevitable superiority. “Yes,” Armstrong muttered, “man is power- ful. He resorts to sin and wickedness, for he knows he is safe in his crimes. Man has crushed me. I shall remain one more week with you, and then I shall leave the place man habitates. I no longer want to kill. That lust was but momentary. I shall leave.” And that was final. I wonder if I shall ever know the secret of that distorted mind,” thought Buttimer in the seclusion of his home that night. He was destined never to understand. Mr. Buttimer at last acknowledged himself conquered. He had thought that perhaps by showing to the young man the great achieve- ments of man, he might be able to overpower the animosity in his soul; but it was so lodged that he had failed in his purpose, and Armstrong was still very much the same man who had assailed him three months previous. “Perhaps,” he thought, “the time has not been sufficient, but he is ruining my business and besides he has said he will leave in a week. So be it. I’ll take a week’s vacation, my office with him is little less, and take him to the Adirondacks. I may yet change that deep- seated hate.” But the despair in his voice belied the hope in his words. If a person had been looking at the base of a certain mountain of the Adirondacks three days after Mr. Buttimer’s decision, he might have seen a man tediously climbing. And had that person taken the trouble to step nearer, he could not have failed to notice the sureness of his step and the strength of his hand in con- trast to the mildness and calmness of his fea- tures. Upward he made his way over great 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR boulders and ledges until finally he stood on a flat-topped crag from which he had a wide and beautiful view of the surrounding country. There he stood, hat in hand, entranced by the beauty of the scene. Once, however, as his eyes wandered down the mountains he beheld two figures climbing steadily up. Both were evi- dently unfamiliar with their route, but yet were without a guide. As they drew nearer, the missionary, for such he was, recently re- turned from abroad, heard the low, gut- tural tones of the one in contrast to the clear, pleasing voice of the other. At last they ar- rived at the small plateau upon which the mis- sionary was standing, and the older man with the frank blue eyes and portly figure sat down upon a rock with a sigh of relief, while the other, evidently but little fatigued, glanced fiercely at the missionary, who smiled amiably back. “Good afternoon, sirs,” said he, “I see we have climbed here for the same purpose prob- ably—to see the sunset. Yes, sirs,, the works of God are great and beautiful beyond expres- sion, and nowhere do I so enjoy them as on my native soil.” “Frankly we did not climb here with that purpose in mind, yet I do not doubt that it alone more than repays one for the tedious climb. See! It is setting now.” It was truly a marvelous sight, this summer sunset viewed from the top of a mighty moun- tain. Even as they gazed the sun disappeared in a fiery ball behind the distant hills and slowly, softly, heavenly colors spread them- selves over the distant sky. The gold, the pur- ple, the red, the orange, all colors known to man, blended to make a radiance no mortal artist could portray, a glory the world might never see, except on a sky of ever-deepening blue, and drawn by the Creator of all beauty. “Isn’t it glorious?” breathed the missionary in an ecstacy. The eyes of the younger lost their fierceness as they gazed. Slowly the colors faded, and the dusk crept upon them, softly as a thought, lightly as a boundless joy confined no longer to the mortal body. At last, the gloom enveloped them. “Let us go,” the missionary was speaking, “we have seen His glory and now His lights of peace are twinkling overhead. By that sun- set hath He said: ‘Fear not! Death is but the setting of the sun of life, it shall rise again. Fear not!’ ” They turned. The man with the fierce eyes was gone. For many years Mr. Buttimer heard no more of his extraordinary acquaintance, and their meeting seemed almost a dream which he had confused with reality. One day when seated at his desk as usual he received a letter which if you should call at 225 Fifth avenue, he will be very glad to let you read as a proof of the reality of that man whom he had en- deavored to help for the sake of his wife, who, the month before, had passed into the great beyond and whose life had been one martyrdom to others. The letter ran as follows:— July 10, 1920. Dear Mr. Buttimer: You have wondered perhaps why I left you so unceremoniously on that mountain so many years ago. For the first time in my life, sir, I realized the presence of a living God who guides the destiny of man. Religion had never been a part of my life. I shall not pause to tell you of the events following my departure, nor of the slowness of my change, except to cite one instance which I think may help you to know me as I am. The other day I went hunting in the woods. I took no compass, and as a result, night hav- ing overtaken me, I was lost. Darkness sur- rounded me. I walked on and on with no re- sults. I was hungry and tired, and I’m afraid that old nature was coming back to me when suddenly I raised my eyes from the dark and dismal forest and there in the sky above me twinkled the stars. How beautiful they looked! How calm! They were the works of God. “Lights of Peace,” as the man on the moun- tain called them! And there in the forest I slept, and in the morning by a lucky chance I found my way from the forest. And so now. sir, when I am downhearted and the world seems cruel and man wicked, then do I look from the gloom and the night and see the stars twinkling eternally, so serene, above me, and I am happy. The night loses its treachery, its deceit, and sombre hideousness, and I say as the stars gaze down upon me: “God’s in His heav’n, all’s right with the world.” Again I thank you and ask you to remember occasionally the name of Samuel J. Armstrong. Slowly the eventide settled upon the old man and still he gazed upon the letter, an expres- sion, half of deep melancholy, half of great joy, overspreading his face. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 87 Friends and Friends Phyllis Beatty, ’25 HERE is a progressive little town in Northern Maine, miles from cul- tured civilization and almost iso- lated from the rest of the wilder- ness by mountains. Here thrives the industry about which the town- ship of Millinocket has grown up. First a little paper mill was started on the banks of the Millinocket River. Branch mills were opened in two other small towns and the company was soon established. When the “Great Northern Paper Company” became known, and important to Boston and New York dealers and consumers, Millinocket came into its own. The company paved the main street and started up little stores along it for their employees, who moved in from distant towns. A perfectly modern hotel was then built for the convenient accommodation of the executives of the company. Millinocket is literally “at the end of the road.” Even the main street begins in the mill- yard and seems to end at the very base of the distant Katahdin, the mountain which reaches the highest point of elevation in the state. Sev- eral roads run into the village, but there they end. To travel beyond it were necessary to go back a few miles and to choose another road. Strangers, however, are no novelty to Milli- nocket; salesmen, with their sample cases for every kind of everything, come to the town daily. It was now nearly four months since a tall, dark young man, Kenneth Huntley by name, had entered the town for the first time. He had sought lodging in one of the boarding- houses on Main street, and had secured work as a laborer about the mill. A lowly position, per- haps, but a step for one anxious to watch and learn, and Kenneth Huntley proved himself an acute observer. He was advanced, step by step, to a fairly responsible position in the beater- room. Jacques Benet, a young Frenchman, helped him at first to “learn the tricks,” and a sound friendship sprang up between them. A com- mon taste for literature bound Jacques to the stranger. And Huntley remained very much a stranger. He forebore speaking of his rela- tions with the outer world, and people began to wonder if he were “one of those fcoi-author ’ lookin’ for somethin’ to write about.” Then there were rumors not quite so favorable. One day Jacques found himself utterly at sea. He had heard long ago that Kenneth Huntley was in hiding for some unknown rea- son. It had not been difficult then for him to discard the suggestion, but now the condemn- ing evidence was unmistakable. A party of strangers from Boston was at the hotel and they had come for Huntley. Jacques felt in- stinctively that everything was not as it should be, and not knowing just what he could do to help, he went to his friend and advised him to leave town while there was yet time. Not greatly perturbed at this distressing bit of news, Kenneth thanked Jacques for showing such kindly interest in his welfare and said he had been expecting friends for some time. When 3 o’clock came he went on to his work as usual. If his heart harbored any fear it was cleverly concealed. Almost immediately after the shift had be- gun work, Huntley was summoned. He looked about the beater-rocm for a minute at his new friends. Most of them had been taken from the early grammar grades to be put to work. They had no idea of the size of the world, the customs and the conventions. They took a man for what he was, not for what men made him. They had accepted Huntley as a friend on four short months of fellowship, and they weren’t likely to forsake him now if this was to prove his hour of need. He felt that, and as he looked about he read it in their faces—so fine and strong were their emotions. Unwilling to con- demn even in his mind other friends who had formerly meant everything to him, Kenneth turned quickly and left the room. In the office he found exactly what he had expected. He was surrounded by a group of men who slapped him familiarly on the back, wrung his hands, and alternately apologized and joked about his coming to such a “hick- town.” These,—the men who had condemned him four months before without a hearing! It hadn’t mattered then where he went—they hadn’t cared! They had been willing to believe him guilty of petty larceny and worse—they had exiled him from his world! But what of that? Now that they knew the truth they wanted him (Continued on Page 89) 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SEVEN CHANCES The Senior play presented in Clayton Ellis Hall, January 16, was a complete success. The play was “Seven Chances, a comedy in three acts by Roi Cooper Megrue. Jimmie Shannon, a confirmed bachelor, portrayed by “Al Irving, was left twelve million dollars by the will of his grandfather, provided that he was married by his thirtieth birthday, which was but thirty hours away. Jimmie, coached by his friend Meekin (“Bart Dudley), went through all the agony of proposing to seven girls and was at last accepted by Anne Windsor, in the person of Catherine Heiser. The complete cast of characters was:— Earl Goddard .............. Alfred Lyons Joe Spence .............. Richard Warren Ralph Denby ............. Charles Jellison Henry Garrison ......... Wesley Dupertuis George .................... Harold Gillis Billy Meekin ............ Bartlett Dudley Jimmie Shannon ............ Albert Irving Mrs. Garrison ........... Beatrice Kenney Anne Windsor .......... Catherine Heiser Irene Trevor ............ Cecilia Vivieros Georgianna Garrison ....... Vivian Bond Lilly Trevor ............. Hazelle Foster Peggy Wood...............Gertrude Murphy Florence Jones................... Gretchen Bowers Betty Willoughby...........Blanche Canavan The stage was in charge of George Kelley, stage manager; Rita Mollet, properties, and Margaret Ford, stage artist. Miss Bradford supervised the stage settings. Miss Haley furnished some of the costumes. Much credit must be given Miss Bell for the success of the play. The Senior class has every reason to be proud of the wonderful work of the cast, and especially their play committee composed of Frank Calandrella, Alfred Lyons and Muriel Estes. Dancing followed the play with music by Caswell’s Orchestra. THE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY Informal debates are held at intervals be- tween the different debating classes. Two such debates were carried on in an interesting man- ner by Helen O’Brien, Evelyn Huchinson, Ber- nice Schelyel and Elena Ivaska, who spoke on the Child Labor Amendment, October 29; and by Rose Tirabassi, Edith Sykes, Philamena Gianetta and Ruth Gordon, who spoke on “Lengthening of School Hours,’’ November 1. These girls deserve praise for their excellent work. Plans are now well under way by the Girls’ Debating Society for a debate with Malden. The society has exceptional talent this year, and it is striving to carry off the honors for the Somerville High School. Don’t forget that class spirit helps. Come. THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL So many interesting things have happened during the recent holidays to divert the stu- dents’ attention from school life, that it is very gratifying indeed upon our return to school to find the same hearty co-operation as before. The Students’ Council dance of Friday, De- cember 19, 1924, was a huge success. The Leap Year dances were a novelty enjoyed by all. The elimination dance was interesting, the prize being a box of chocolates. The party adjourned at five with all in jolly spirits.

This is not to be construed as meaning that many pupils in the school are contributing poetry, as the poems are submitted by a rela- tively small per cent, of the student body, and poems by new contributors are rare. Several of the poems, however, submitted for the issue are by new contributors, who deserve sincere commendation for their successful debuts into our poetry columns. “Dawn,” by Goldie Sahlin, and “Wander Thirst,” by Charles Jellison, which were both read at the last meeting of the poetry section of the English Club, are printed, and may we call the attention of all who might not have been fortunate enough to have attended the meeting to both of these poems. “The Song of the Sword” and “The Little Hole That Looked So Large,” by Aram Movsessian, are of a pleasing and original style. Richard Valenti’s poem, “Nocturne,” has beauty of suggestion as apart from simple detail. Frederick G. Baker’s choice bits of “Nonsense” are excep- tional and should delight many readers. “The Storm,” by Beatrice Bates, contains still an- other version of the storm’s great beauty, which is so often interpreted in verse. THE STUDENTS’ COUNCIL (Continued from Page 88) The newly-elected officers of the Sophomore class, president, John McLoughlin; vice-pres- ident, Jennie Gilbert; secretary, Helen Aikens, and treasurer, Robert Thomas, have now joined the Students’ Council. The members of the Council extend to them cordial greetings, and hope that they will be successful in discharging their new duties. The Red Cross Drive is now on. Let us see how soon we can have one hundred per cent. Room proctors, do your part. POETRY CLUB The second meeting of the Poetry Club was held Thursday, January 8, in Room 201. The attendance was very good, which shows a growing interest in this branch of literature. The meeting was opened by the chairman. Dean Swan. Miss Gatchell, one of the enthusiastic advisers of the club, gave a very interesting and instructive talk on “Free Verse.” Robert Frost was the poet of the day, and an account THE LITTLE HOLE THAT LOOKED SO LARGE I was thinking that eve with my head downcast. When crash went the door and then a blast— “Hands up! you villain, you devil, you rat”— Without a motion frozen I sat, For someone had entered with eager demands, Wanting my money, my life and my lands. The pistol he pointed direct at my eye: “Give me your money or at once you will die!” The hole in the barrel which once looked so small I thought would swallow me, head and all— Then, with a yawn, I called it the end. Aram Movsessian, 1925. THE SONG OF THE SWORD Listen, living cowards! Listen, all ye dead! Listen, worthy heroes! Tis I, who am at your head. At my very point the world I hold, Fear I not rich nor poor nor bold, Death I cause for those who fear me, Immortal fame for all who love me. Aram Movsessian, 1925. of his life was given and several of his poems were read. Messrs. Bartlett Stoodley, Charles Jellison and Richard Valenti read original poems. The meeting closed with a competitive game of rhymes, of which Mr. Stoodley was the vic- tor and received the prize. At the next meet- ing there will be a debate on “Resolved: That modern poetry is of as much value as Eliza- bethan poetry.” FRIENDS AND FRIENDS (Continued from Page 87) to go back! They were willing to forget! They’d always believed in him anyway—of course, he should have known! Kenneth recalled that somewhere, sometime, he had heard that “old friends are best”—but until now it had never occurred to him to wonder. Old or new, what did it matter? The difference came in the word “friends.” There were friends and friends. Kenneth didn’t leave the “hick-town” just then. In fact, at the end of the year he mar- ried Jacques’ sister and they lived happily—in Millinocket. DO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE STORM ’Tis strange, but I should like to be During a storm in a great pine tree— A tree whose branches spread afar High to the reach of a hidden star! ’Tis strange, but I should like to be Where the storm-wind doth lash the sea— The sea that pounds with rage and might, Yet never destroys the Beacon Light. But, strange thoughts, take wing! Come not again! My firelight glows, Outside it snows— I am warm and drowsy and content. Beatrice Bates, 1926. DAWN The stars are faintly glowing, The moon on its downward path Is ever dimmer growing, And darkness reigns on earth. But see! The darkness melts To gleaming white and silver. It warmeth into golden belts! It leapeth into flames that quiver And burn the sky. But look! From out the east, the Sun Forsakes its heavenly nook And gorgeously appears. O Men of World! Tis Dawn— O Rise, ye dead ones, come And list with open ears. Those gleaming clouds, the flaming sun Have gi’en ye hope so bright, For God has spoken yet again As he does with truth and light. Goldie Sahlin, 1926. NOCTURNE Pale distant stars . . . A silent lake . . . A marble loggia . . . Dark shadowed trees. By these, enchanted am I list’ning To a flute’s soft tones arising, Expressing beauty unimpassioned, The lonely beauty of the night. Richard Valenti, 1925. WANDER THIRST There’s a restless yearning in me For the winding broad highway, Or the rocking, pitching frigate Bound for distant foreign bay. The adventure that is in me Rebukes the tedious grind Of cramming and of learning; I long to leave these all behind. I’m tired of the monotony, This hus’ling, bus’ling drum. The scuffling, buffeting turbulence Of crowds that go and come. This limited existence That my dull life seems to cover Makes me want the jolly friendship Of a happy fellow rover. And we’d sail for Tripoli Where Arabs’ fleety steed Across the scorching desert wastes And sands and sand dunes speed. Where towered marble cities gleam In torrid noonday sun, And murky quietude sets in When the short-lived day is done. Or yet we’ll go afooting it O’er mountain, heath and plain, And resting, eat our frugal meals ’Neath trees in driving rain, And sleep beneath the vaulted night Behind a hedge or mound, And so. we’ll wander ever Until our pleasure’s found. Charles Jellison, 1925 NONSENSE We dwell on books and essays And Elizabethan Age, But the thing we dwell the most upon Is the cross-word puzzle page. I saw the realms of happiness And caverns of despair With tinges of rare brainlessness From my Senior English chair. Fred Baker, 1925.

Kennedy—Editor David War so we—Assistant Editor The Senior class held an assembly Wednes- day, January 7. The class president, John Donahue, opened the meeting, and explained that the purpose of the meeting was to arouse interest in the Senior Play. He introduced the first speaker, Frank Calandrella of the Senior Play Committee. Mr. Calandrella assured the class that the play would be a dramatic suc- cess, and said he felt confident that with the co-operation of the class the play would also be a financial success. Miss Bell, coach of the Senior Play, gave a very interesting talk about the play. Mr. Avery closed the meeting with several helpful remarks. Heard in the Latin class: “I shall follow absent with dark lights.” One Thursday Room 115 received a visit from an interesting stranger. During the open- ing exercises his dogship wandered around the room receiving a pat now and then. Room 122 has had four different teachers since the beginning of school. The pupils are hoping for a steady one. Great interest has been shown in the recent organization of the “Slide Rule Club,” which held its first meeting in Room 114 on Friday. January 9. This club not only teaches one the knowledge of the slide-rule, but also arouses a great interest in higher mathematics. Senior: “Do you know the difference between a flapper and a bungalow?” Junior: “No, what is it?” Senior: “There is no difference. They are both painted in front, shingled in back, with no attic above.” Miss Wiseman’s sixth period class enjoyed their prolonged vacation under the entertain- ing supervision of Miss Campbell. Senior of Traffic Squad to Sophomore: “Who turned that light out, did you?” “No, sir!” “Well, how did it happen to go out?” Sophomore (meekly): “It must have blown out.” The small emergency fire-alarm boxes throughout the building seem to present an undeniable attraction to some pupils, who de- rive much pleasure from toying with them. After these have been located the best thing is to leave them alone. If there should ever be any discussion as to the coldest place in the city, we would call attention to the alley-way between the G. A. R. Building and the West entrance. How many resolutions did you make to break? That usually is the idea of the pessi- mist. The power of resolutions depends on the individual. Nevertheless, Seniors, the ad- vent of the New Year ought to occasion one serious thought. This is your last year in the Somerville High School. Direct all your efforts to get the most out of your school life. Join the Dramatic Club or the Debating Club or the orchestra. At the close of the year, when you look back in solemn retrospection, be able to say: ‘T have had my best year in school, a year of vast accomplishment and delightful friendship.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 95 Miss S.: “What do you consider the most in- teresting kind of poetry?” John: “Prose.” Those Seniors interested in debating should immediately join the society. A very active year is anticipated by the officers of the society. Do not lose the opportunity of participating in a big debate by not joining the club. We know that most of the Seniors spent the Christmas vacation studying every night. A few (?) probably went skating. Some helpful advice to Seniors: If you are asked what kind of banks there are in the United States do not say penny banks, river banks and sand banks as Mr. C. did. Our worry is ended. We at last have a treasurer, Roger Van Iderstine, who, by the way, is a capable one indeed. Miss T.: “As a New Year wish I hope that the pupils of this class will do more studying than they have been doing.” Class, absent-mindedly: “Same to you.” 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Helen (Gordon—Assistant Editor Said one Junior to another shortly after New Year’s Day: “Well, I’ve resolved to turn over a new leaf!” And he turned to the next page of the Radi- ator. We notice the Junior class was well repre- sented at the Senior Play. Our turn next year. Juniors. Coleman had a brilliant idea in chemistry the other day. “Why can’t one throw great pieces of graphiie into a volcano? When the volcano -erupts will it not pour forth diamonds?” YVe wonder—. If the members of Division II-D do not all become great orators, who can blame the honorable Cicero or the worthy YYrebster? A goodly number of Junior girls have joined the Glee Club and are frequently raising their voices in song. There are a good many in Room 305 who in- dulge in winter sports. At least two are skat- ing fiends. For those who have not resolved never to be tardy we contribute the old advice:— “Better late than never. But better never late!” First Junior: “Do I hear thunder?” Second Junior: “No, that’s YYrilson coming down the hall.” For the last few weeks Mrs. Card’s Junior English class, II-D, has been discussing books and authors and giving oral talks. For the latter, a great variety of subjects were chosen, and the class criticism was especially interest- ing and worthy of remembrance. Those who enjoyed it most, however, were those who sat in the middle rows. Don’t ask us why. What is it that turns angelic, dignified groups of little boys into snorting, charging—well, er —herds ? For answer become a fly-on-the-wall any- where in Somerville High School about 11.55 A. M. The man who said that all one needed to conquer chemistry was a little common sense ought to attack the fort of formulas in which so many poor, dejected Juniors are sentenced to death. A. Z.: “Heard the great mystery?” Non-A. Z.: “No, what is it?” A. Z.: “Haven’t heard! YY’here’ve you been, old man ?” Non-A. Z.: “Well, tell me, won’t you?” A. Z.: “No, but you might try Cromwell.” Speaking for the seasons, “Will you be my Valentine?” F. H. of 305 made one hundred resolutions this year, but there were so many that he for- got them all. T. 0. has resolved to be naughty just to see how it feels. The “Two Chemists” might have achieved fame had not Miss C. dissolved their partner- ship. “Every dog has its day,” quoth the poetic Junior as he took a bite of a hot dog. “Time was made for slaves,” sighed the late individual as he panted up the stairs to Room 322. A: “Oui, Mile., je parle francais!” B: “But I didn’t know you ever studied French!” A: “I don’t, my dear, I am a study pupil in. 306.” First Junior: “Why doesn’t Johnny ever bor- row my fountain pen nowadays?” 96 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Second Junior: “He got one for Christmas, of course.” Mrs. H.: “What is the case of soli, young man ?” Pupil: “That is just what I was going to ask!” Clever answer, we’ll remember that one. We wonder what would happen if we should see Finn wishing for something! A few Juniors have decided to get-rich-quick by making diamonds from lead pencils. Don't laugh! It could be done. There was a little boy And he had a little toy Which he took to school one day, But his teacher took it away! Moral: Puzzle it out for yourself. Incidentally the above is not a product of the Poetry Club. One thing we dread to think about—the fate of Bliss if he ever met a real Frenchman! Wake up, Juniors! Habits formed in youth stay by us in old age, and next year, as Seniors, we’ll be quite venerable. Juniors! Does anything funny or worthy of comment ever happen in your classes? Then jot it down and contribute it to this column. Those performing this worthy deed will imme- diately become friends of the poor, struggling editors. Are you saving your pennies, Juniors? As a traveling salesman would say, “If not—why not?” Miss Cunningham’s Spanish classes are fond of variety. From gorgeous fairy tales they skip to tales of stray dogs. L.: “A penny for your thoughts, my dear.” B.: “Accepted! That’s what I call getting something for nothing.” 1927 Robert Stephens—Editor Fae Warren—Assistant Editor We think Room 201 can show the best per- centage of suitable names for its pupils of any room in the school. Henry Trotta is always on the trot and never in his seat, a trotter (Trotta) indeed. John Powers was a candidate for class presi- dent. Of course this signifies power and ability. McTernan has just had his seat changed for turning around. Damiano says: “I can’t be good. If you don’t believe me just note my name.” Florence Underwood is just like the type- writer she is named for; you can depend upon her. If you would know how truly Armstrong’s surname fits him just watch him some day in physical training. You may wonder how Frank Shepherd’s name fits him. It really isn’t such a misnomer after all, for doesn’t he suggest the shepherd’s little woolly lamb? Who is the Senior who said Shakespeare wrote “Romiet and Julio”? Who was the pupil in our class who said the only thing he could find in the back of a book was the end? Actor: ‘T played in The Covered Wagon.’” Friend: “So? I saw the movie but I didn’t see hi.” Actor: “Ah, but I was in the wagon.” As a general rule literary men, their lives, and works are intended to inspire the scholar. This is clearly portrayed in a Sophomore class that is studying the life of Oliver Goldsmith. His restless, shiftless character has evidently influenced a few pupils, for several of the class have been absent. The pupils of the Sophomore class take this opportunity to promise their most loyal sup- port to their officers in their endeavor to make the class of 1927 the finest Somerville High ever held within her walls. Do your bit, Sophomores—co-operate with E. C—y’s rigid traffic principles. A certain Sophomore was asked on what grounds was Miss II. opposed to his loud laugh- ing in class. “Oh,” he responded, “anywhere within a mile of her classroom.” Teachers who have classes in 206 have been complaining that there must be a “jinx” in that room, for the attention and recitations have been poor. Here’s the cause: There’s a cross- word puzzle on the board. ■ 2 r-C ' 1 , -rV, V —� Lp, t - w -4-0 5-v. --'Zy T -0 ’ y ■ ,. l 9 v ° w c w - i ■� - — - “ j —J1-, •Vr -x. - O _ J w • � I « 1 c w y 4? 2, .7iU 98 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Doris Houghton, 25 On the 11th of January, 219 years ago, Ben- jamin Franklin was born in Boston. To him, one of our early American statesmen whom President Coolidge in his book “The Price of Freedom” calls one of the greatest sons of Massachusetts, belongs a portion of the credit for the thousands of libraries now in existence throughout the United States. He did not fur- nish money as Andrew Carnegie did, but as one of the first to recognize the need he formed, a practicable plan for supplying it. Joseph Conrad, the English-Polish novelist who died recently, possessed a character fully as interesting as his books. For twenty years, against the wishes of his family and his friends, he shipped as a sailor under the English flag. When he was twenty-one he did not know a word of English, and yet he wrote his novels in English, a language over which he obtained mastery only by hard work. In all his books are combined a knowledge of the sea and an unusual literary genius. Some of the best known of his works are: “Lord Jim,” “The Typhoon” and “The Arrow of Gold.” “Songs of the Sea and Sailors’ Chanteys,” an anthology compiled by Robert Frothingham. contains a number of glowing sea poems. Per- haps several of the best known in the collec- tion are: “Sea Fever,” by John Masefield: “The Sea Gypsy,” by Richard Hovey, and Hervt Riel,” by Robert Browning. Another good anthology is “The Gypsy Trail,” an anthology for campers, compiled by Pauline Goldmark and Mary Hopkins. The poems in this book concern out-of-door life in general. If you have never read the Illustrated Lon- don News, do try it. It treats, in a large meas- ure by means of pictures, numerous tonics' of international interest in the realms of science, literature and current events. For example, in the issue for the week of December 6th there were facsimiles of some delightful letters writ- ten by Robert Louis Stevenson, which present his personal opinions on various matters. Edward Bok has written another book, “Twice Thirty,” which narrates in an interest- ing way some personal anecdotes which con- cern De Pachmann, Edison, Bismarck and other notables. Angelo Patri, the well known educator, has had some of his talks broadcast from the Ford Hall Forum. He not only makes a pre- pared address, but answers questions from the floor and those telephoned to him from his radio audience. There are few speakers who care to allow questions from the floor. Mr. Patri in this respect, as in many others, is an exception. A group of well known critics were asked to select their favorite books of the season. The most popular was “A Passage to India,” by E. M. Forstin, with Mark Twain’s Autobiog- raphy a close second, and “Saint Joan,” by George Bernard Shaw, in the third place. “Mary Rose,” a recent play by J. M. Barrie, has just appeared in book form.

Not many more than a dozen. Are you going to let the Western Junior High School pupils sup- port your team? They are the only ones who have been present at basketball games to cheer for us. How many season tickets have the High School students bought? The junior highs have bought two hundred. Are you go- ing to let the junior high schools support your team? If you are, you are a bunch of slackers with no school spirit. What are you going to do about it? HOCKEY Somerville Tramples on Melrose. 3-1 Somerville decisively beat Melrose for the second time in two years by a 3-1 score at Ell Pond, Melrose, January 10. Somerville tallied twice in the opening period, the goals being made by Kelson and Crosby. Melrose then played defensive hockey and kept the Somerville sharp-shooters at bay until the last period, when “Frankie Cole made the final counter. Baker made many fine stops for Somerville, letting only one get by him in the second period. This goal was made by Lloyd. The summary:— SOMERVILLE MELROSE Kelson, r. w., Crosby, c., Cole, Breen, 1. w., Scully, r. d., McFayden, 1. d., Baker, g., Score: Somerville, 3; Kelson, Crosby, Cole, LI 1. w., Ripley c., Lloyd r. w., Sanford 1. d., Shaw r. d., McGinley g., McHugh Melrose, 1. Goals— yd. Somerville, 2; Belmont, 1 Somerville High’s fast hockey team gained a victory over Belmont. January 3, at Belmont. Somerville peppered the Belmont goal tender with pucks, and but for many good stops by him would have beaten them by a larger score. Kelson and Scully scored for Somerville, as- sisted by “Tacks” Crosby’s fine work. Secor was Belmont’s star player.

Both teams had many chances to score but failed. The defensive work of both teams was the cause of the few points made, which make it look more like a football score than a basket- ball score. The game stood 6-6 until the last few min- utes of play, when Revere scored a basket and two fouls. Then by much stalling the Revere team kept Somerville on the defensive until the final whistle.

Somerville Beaten by Arlington. 31-9 Somerville’s basketball team lost to Arling- ton’s championship team, 31-9, in Somerville’s opening game of the season at Arlington, De- cember 19. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 101 The Lane brothers of the Arlington quintet were the star performers, both scoring timely baskets all through the game. The Arlington team, who recently earned the right to play Passaic High’s championship team of New Jer- sey, was too rough for Somerville to open the season with. We trust Somerville will make a better showing against Arlington when they play them again later in the season. Somerville Topples the Sailors, 24-12 Somerville played the U. S. S. Nantucket’s basketball team at the Western Junior High, January 7, and beat them 24-12. Somerville led from the start and played a great game. Captain “Dick” Warren was again the star performer, while Meaney and Mer- chant played well for the tars. It was a fast game from start to finish and Somerville showed a great improvement.

Waltham Nips Somerville, 26-21 Waltham barely beat Somerville in a fast game at the Western Junior High, December 23. At the end of the first half Somerville was led by Waltham, 19-7, but in the second half Somerville played like whirlwinds, and was coming from behind fast when the final whistle blew. Captain “Dick” Warren was the star per- former, scoring baskets from all angles. King was Waltham’s high scorer. Somerville was the better team, but did not get started until it was too late to overcome Waltham’s early lead. THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Girls’ Athletic Association has held a number of meetings. The girls on the basketball team are doing exceptionally well under the instruction of their new coach, Miss McElroy. On January 9 the basketball team played Ar- lington High School in Arlington. The score was 48 to 14 in favor of Arlington. Owing to the fact that Arlington belongs to the league, and has experienced players, our team has done very well, for it has not the entire co-operation of the school, and we have not had the practice that is necessary to make a team a winner. Three-quarters of an hour once a week, is rather a short period, but we appreciate this, nevertheless, and our thanks are extended to the principal of the Bingham School. We hope to gain a victory over Everett High at Everett on February 2. ATHLETIC NOTES Did you know that “Red” Wilson was elected captain of the 1925 football team?

Certainly, for the past two months he has not. New England weather, with all its eccentricities, seldom has interfered with the school system as much as in January and February this year. True. Superintendent Clark has had to suspend the process of education for a day only, but there are other things to consider. No one of us has forgotten the cold snap with zero weather and snow that we had in the middle of January. Coming as the first real winter weather, it caught the careless and un- prepared, and colds and sore throats abounded. Naturally, there were many absences, and who can name anything more detrimental to the progress of a class than a flock of absentees? It was often, moreover, the third period be- fore enough heat could be generated for the comfort of the pupils, and a temperature of about 60 degrees is not at all conducive to study. But the crowning impediment of the weather was its early February thaw. Coming as it did immediately after the cold weather and snow, the heavy slush provided a great oppor- tunity for wet feet and sickness, and soon very many persons were forced to their beds, or though attending school, felt little like study- ing. There were many absentees in the faculty, some short and some prolonged, all throwing the classes out of their stride. In fact, it wouldn’t be far from true to say that those who have escaped from all colds and sickness among the faculty and student body could be counted on one’s fingers. And don’t forget that the winter may have a few tricks up its sleeves yet. No, the weather man either has no regard for cur education or intends to interfere when- ever he can. William E. Brigham, the first editor and founder of the Radiator, has been transferred from his position as Washington correspondent for the Boston Transcript, to the editorial staff in Boston. We hope to see him sometime and will wel- come any advice he may offer. This letter which follows will interest all who remember Mr. Mordant and the pleasing talk which he gave to the Players’ and Eng- lish Clubs. As you probably know, Mr. Mor- dant is prominent on the American stage, and recently finished a stay in Boston, playing in Bernard Shaw’s ‘‘Saint Joan.” January 14, 1925. My Dear Miss Bell: Mrs. Mordant has sent me the Radiator and thank you for sending it. Was interested in the excellent article about our reception, and appreciated it. The school is to be congratulated upon hav- ing such an excellently conceived medium of information, and its make-up reflects great credit upon the editors. As an ex-newspaper man I can appreciate the excellent qualities. You are all doing a fine work of educational value. I look forward to another visit in the near future. Sincerely, Edwin Mordant. 1 know of nothing which so incites my pity and disgust as the sight of a laggard slouch- ing his way to his room after the last bell has rung at recess. One sometimes sees him in the corridors with a lazy look in his eye— at least we assume it is there, for he hangs his head—a loose look about his limbs, and a tired- ness about his gait. Having at last arrived at his room he sticks his head through the door, for his head always precedes him in everything—and is about to thrust in a foot when the bell rings. But no look of dismay passes over his countenance. It is too im- passive and stolidly emotionless for that. He merely drags himself to his seat and succumbs into it. It then rests with his teacher to rouse him and punish him, which she does faithfully and vigorously. A Student. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 111 “Bitter-Sweet” Russell McKinley, 1925 HE trapping had been even more successful than either of the two men who were now slowly making their way to the post with the skins had ever expected. They trudged into Calgary late that afternoon. Calgary boasted of six houses and the post store. There was nothing par- ticularly strange or different about it, nothing to make it unique. It was just a typical Cana- dian border post, like hundreds of others scat- tered throughout the trapping districts. There was nothing unusual about the appearance of the two men who entered the post store that would call attention to them. Just one glance was enough to prove them to be plain, ordinary trappers—that is, the physical part of the men. But wait! There is something notice- able about their conversation,—brief and tense. The seasoned trader in back of the counter piled with furs took their manner as a matter of course. He realized what it meant to be shut off from the world with only one pal, and to spend the long winter months isolated, cooped up in a one-room cabin. The sickening silence, heavy and oppressive, was enough to drive them mad. To have come out of their hibernation with only brief, tense words be- tween them, was as nothing compared to what might readily have happened if their wills had been less strong. So after all there was noth- ing distinctive, nothing unusual about their conversation. Yet the store held a spark of life altogether different from anything that had ever been brought to Calgary. The two men were to know more about this little body. How the actual bargain was made does not matter, but the fact that a pair of gruff, plain-spoken men had bought a puppy does matter a great deal. “What’s the crittur’s name, Morgan?” asked the man who had assumed the mastery of the dog. “Wal,” drawled Morgan, “speakin’ o’ names, I don’t believe the crittur hed one. But if ya asked me, I ’ould call him ‘Bitter-Sweet.’ ” Jerry gave a short laugh, “The name’s too big an’ outa’ place on this ’ere animal.” “That’s cause ya don’t know the reason for me pickin’ out thet name. I happen to know that this ’ere pup’s father was whipped within a hair of his life by the owner. He never for- got that there lesson! No, sir! He got so sceered that he hid fer a week or more. No- budy knew whar he went. But hunger druv him back again to Calgary. After that lie acted frightened of men, and gave every one he passed sech a hounded look that it earned fer him the name of Bitter. Now I recollect how Bitter’s better half, this ’ere pup’s mother, was as gentle and law abidin’ as Bitter was scary and restless. So a course there was oney one appropriat’ name fer her and that was Sweet. Now you kin see, boys, thet this pup has a funny ancestry. He really is differ- ent, so ya oughta give him a different name.” “Guess we can allow him to keep that handle, eh, Jean?” The substantial sum that both men had re- ceived for their hard work had broken down the gruffness that had existed when they first entered the store. “Don’t make no difference to me,” Jean re- plied. “0 K.,” said Jerry, “come on, Bitter-Sweet, we’re trackin’ fer home.” Two years passed before the pair once more appeared in the post store with Bitter-Sweet, the “different dog.” He was now a full grown, well-developed animal, radiating his unbounded faith and loyalty to the two men in every ac- tion. He was close on the heels of Jerry when he and Jean entered the store. “Wal, wal,” greeted Old Morgan, “ef it ain’t Jerry and Jean with liP Bitter-Sweet. How is the 0)1 ery crittur, Jerry? Has he been ‘Bit- ter’ or ‘Sweet’ ?” “Only Sweet,” Jerry returned. “We’re beginning to think that only half the name fits,” Jean put in. Morgan shook his head, ‘I don’t want to be what they call a Job, but it ain’t natural to hev one side ferever. That dorg will show his bitter instinct yet. Still I hope he never does.” That ended the conversation about Bitter- Sweet. After stocking up with provisions and trading all their furs, Jean and Jerry started back over the trail with Bitter-Sweet peace- fully following. Jean Ledoux, the big, strong, husky trapper, sat on the edge of his bunk with his head bowed in his arms. It was not so much last 112 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR night’s killing as it was Bitter-Sweet’s faith having been shattered completely. During last night’s adventure Jean had been half drunk but still capable of reasoning. Now he hazily recalled the whole thing; he and his pal had come in, tired and out of sorts, from the day’s repairing of the traps, with nerves none too good after the day of labor, which had left them physically and mentally ex- hausted, since it had lasted from dawn to sun- set. The liquor which they had imbibed had tended toward making them more touchy as the scanty meal progressed. The second snow of the year had begun to whiten the ground outside when they had settled back in their rough-hewn chairs to while away the evening playing cards. Jean saw that a possible way to break the nerve-racking silence might come if there was a slip in his partner’s playing. Thus it came about while Jean was following the plays closely that he saw his chance. A heated argu- ment ensued, which ended in much cursing and finally in a fistic argument. A swift blow was aimed at Jean’s jaw, but by a clever side-twist of his head he escaped the impact. His surly, half-drunken temper was now fully aroused. With a determination born of silence he grimly drew his revolver. The pull of a trigger; a report; the thud of a falling body, and—si- lence! A gust of wind blew the door of the cabin open. In a daze Jean sank on a chair and let the gun clatter noisily to the floor, never once giv- ing the chilling air, that filled the cabin, a thought. Five minutes passed—there was a stirring in front of the fireplace. Bitter- Sweet, who had witnessed the shooting with astounded eyes, now got up and faced the killer, his master’s one-time friend. The look in the dog’s eyes spoke many things that could never be said in words. Bitter-Sweet cast a lingering glance at the crumpled form of his master, whose physical bonds were now un- fettered, and whose soul was far beyond the walls of a material cabin. Then with ears drawn back, and tail, that had so many times wagged for joy, lowered, as if signaling his distrust, Bitter-Sweet slunk past his master’s disgraced friend out into the white silence beyond. When Jean realized he had killed the dog’s friendship, too, he roused himself from the stupor into which he had fallen, and ran to the door calling. No response! Dejectedly he closed the door, feeling as if he were cutting off his last communication with the world. Casting a shamed and horrified glance at the motionless form, Jean shuddered. This was his first shooting. But even such a gruesome tragedy did not compare with the humiliation he felt from the accusing look of the dog. A half mad notion to go and retrieve the animal formed in the liquor-crazed brain. At day- break the snow-fall had stopped and Jean had decided. Calmly he put on his coat and knitted cap, packed some food, then silently left the cabin he was never to enter again. He stumbled down the hill into the valley. Losing all presence of mind he wandered on to- ward the line of wolf traps, freshly baited the day before. Suddenly some snow slightly gave way and two steel jaws of a trap clutched Jean’s ankle firmly. A startled cry of pain escaped his lips as he was brought down, help- lessly caught. His head struck a stone pro- truding out of the snow. Quickly unconscious- ness gripped him. Death came to his rescue. Dusk was settling over the valley when Bit- ter-Sweet came upon a pack of wolves raven- ously eating a prize that had been caught in a trap. The lip of Bitter-Sweet curled in a snarl which could have been a sneer. Then a look of sadness and pity bespoke his old self. He turned to the moon, now rising over the painted hills, and—bayed. The Younger Generation Hazelle Foster, 1925 The younger generation of today is not as black as it is painted. True, these young people have different amusements, different dances, and different mannerisms, but at heart, are they any different from any other generation of any other day ? I do not think so. As long as there are old people and young people the older will criticise the younger, and the latter won’t pay the least attention. But we, the younger generation of today, must remember our youth as we grow older, and remember how we used to cut loose and let the young people of tomorrow have their fling. To youth the earth is rosy, may it always remain thus to them. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 113 A Different Drummer Florence L. Lloyd. 1925 What a day! Am 1 not low spirited enough but that the weather must also be in tune with me? Water to the front of me, water to the back of me, water above me, and by Jove! I can go that poet one better, water through me. Wet rain! And I am selling, or, I should say, trying to sell parasols. What irony! Well, I’ll try my luck here. I wonder how these people in this well-to-do neighborhood would like to change places with me, just at present? Here goes.” His push on the bell was far from gentle. Alfred Downes, drummer, was out of sorts with his fellow man. For a week his sales had amounted to only four portable parasols at $1.50 pei . Now his whole sustenance de- pended upon one lonesome half dollar in his pocket. “How do you do, Madam? Could I interest you in this portable parasol?” “Pardon me, young man, but I am busy, and furthermore I have other interests. Good day.” The door closed and Alfred Downes stood there looking at the substantial door which a minute ago had framed a substantial woman. “Sweet, wasn’t she?” he said to the world in general. “Can you please tell me,”—still addressing the world in general—“if I am such an ogre, that the moment I speak, people must need rid themselves of my presence? Now how do you suppose I looked to her? I guess I am not fit for her society, wet coat, wet shoes, oh, hang it all, I might as well drown,” he reflected gloomily. For the next half hour he received the same courteous but discouraging treatment. Finally, the residential houses dwindling and stores now taking their places, his courage and hope began to fail him. But no, there was one more house he could try, and at this one he might prove successful, for it stood in close proximity to a church, perhaps a parish house. With re- newed courage and hope he walked on. But on going by the church, he stopped short, seemingly glued to the spot, his eyes magneti- cally drawn to a board upon which was writ- ten: “If I do not keep step with my fellow man it is because I hear a different drummer.” —Thoreau. He read it again and again, hear- ing it hollered in his ears. Like a ray of light in a dark room, it burst home. “Selling para- sols in a rainstorm! ‘A different drummer!’” He looked about him. Suddenly he was galvan- ized into action. Seeing ahead of him a store,, he rushed towards it and into it, demand- ing in a loud voice:— “Here, Iky, what will you give me for these?” extending his bag of wares. “Veil, now, I vould not giff you much in moneys, is it, but I swap something, eh?” “All right, what will you exchange? Ah I here, Iky, give me these.” “These” were a collection of umbrellas of every kind and de- scription. “Here, Iky! Just exchange these parasols for these umbrellas. I’ll be back to see you in a few hours. Is it a bargain?” “All right. All right. You are my fren% yes? Good-bve. Only vou no forget me, eh?” “No, no, Iky, I’ll be back.” Out upon the street again, just thickening with people, he made his way towards the centre of the city. By the time he reached it, it was dark and the places of amusement were letting out their matinee quotas. Standing in front of one of them, he began to cry out:— “Here, madam, no need to get wet. It’s rain- ing hard. Here’s just the thing you need, madam. An umbrella for everybody! Come one, come all. Thank you, thank you.” Interspersed with his cries, his thoughts were somewhat of this kind:— “ ‘Keep in step.’ Hm-m. I should say T wasn’t keepin’ in step. ‘Different drummer. Well, it’s a wonder I didn’t trip. In other words. Mr. Thoreau, seize your opportunities, or get in step with those about you. And what was it I said a while back? Oh, yes, keep in tune. Well, in my case it was the weather. “Only a few more left. A dollar apiece. Save that hat and coat. Thank you, miss, thank you.” The last one sold, he left with the few re- maining. heading towards the suburbs and Iky’s. This time he was walking in step with a different drummer in more senses of the word than one. 114 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR My Fountain Pen Joseph Weinberger, 1925 Face to face we came; we two, My fountain pen and I. It said: “O buy me!” I did, and then, It said: “O fill me!” I did that, too. Then it said: “Write with me!” But that I could not do. The man who said “True love never runs smooth” was absolutely correct. Nobody loves, values, and cares for his fountain pen more than I. Perhaps this is the reason that it never runs smooth. Sometimes it actually writes, not as a well- behaved and efficient pen should, but rather spasmodically. It has fits and starts and can- not be depended upon, so I sometimes think it is actually human. I adorn it in fitting and proper regalia, and display it in the pocket nearest my heart. Ii has a shiny black holder which is set oft' with an ornamented silver clasp. On the clasp my monogram is emblazoned in wavy letters. So you see I care for my pen, and surely it ought to repay me by being the least mite efficient. But no, fountain pens are like girls; just as soon as you care for them, they become in- different to you. The only efficiency it gives is while dis- porting itself before the public eye. Then it is all that one could ask. But, sad to say, its beauty is only skin deep. One day I took my fountain pen for an air- ing. Evidently the pen was well pleased, for it allowed the sun to play on the shiny cover, which sent forth darting rays. While in the glory of its sun bath, a man from afar espied the dazzling pen. He approached me and asked for the loan of it. Now I considered this an honor, and so I very graciously presented my esteemed pen;—all the while praying through set teeth that it would not develop a fit of stubbornness. To my mortification it would not make a mark, but scratched and mussed the paper horribly. The man was trying to sign his name on a check. When he returned the pen he muttered something about a piece of trash. Likewise on the next occasion for use, not a mark would come from the golden tip. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I resolved to part with it, but should I sell it and incur the hatred of its next owner? No, rather would I ruin it. I placed it on the ground, shut my eyes, and was just going to jump, when something held me back. My con- science would never be at ease for destroying such a dear friend, erratic though it was. I resolved to give it one more chance; but only one. The next time I had occasion to write I set a hammer by my side, wielded my pen with a wide flourish, and with a swinging stroke guided it over an expanse of paper. Miracles, not yet are you obsolete! There, emblazoned in ink, was that which I had undertaken to write. Not a scratch, not a blur, marked the progress of that point. This was too much. I embraced it long and tenderly, and thereupon reprimanded myself for ever allowing thoughts of destruction to enter my head. I resolved to love, honor, and protect my pen until death do us part. My promise, however, was ill-timed. Better had it been in the grave, for my rejoic- ing was short-lived. The characteristic of in- efficiency had not been effaced. Again my pen failed me. but for the last time. Since I am bound by promise I can never part with it. I keep it for ornamental purposes only, never calling upon its services. Perhaps, if I put my pen to the test now, it would write, and write beautifully, but never again shall it have the chance to crush my hopes. Lately I have learned the efficiency of the lowly pencil and always carry one with me. I have learned that efficiency rates above beauty. THE LIFE OF ROBERT ARNOLD HIGHT Robert Arnold Flight was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, on the nineteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and seven. Fie was educated at the Glines School and then at the Northern Junior High School. He planned, upon his graduation from Somerville High School, to go to Hebron Academy and then to some higher institution of learning. He was taken into Omicron Pi Sigma Fraternity in nineteen hundred and twenty-four, and was one of its most interested and loyal members and officers. Flis tremendous love for all types of athletics brought about his death. He was taken ill January sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-five, with a mastoid, which had developed while he was skating. After a brave strug- gle, he succumbed to the ravages of the disease, Thursday evening, Janu- ary twenty-second, at the age of seventeen years, five months and three days. His wistful, appealing face, the face of a seeker, and his quiet, gentle- manly attitude toward his fellow-students and his teachers, made him one liked by all, and whose presence we shall miss. OF ONE WHO SLEEPS The Impression Made Upon a Schoolmate by the Funeral of Arnold Hight. Soft, tremulous music; sonorous, throbbing music, as of a soul seek- ing—seeking through the world, seeking—seeking. A touch of somber- ness—a moment of sadness, then a great, triumphant swell of rapture— of the rapture of the Soul. Hidden beauty; soft, wistful, almost melan- choly beauty. And now peace—rest from the ceaseless mill— the mill of men; the whirl of the world. Peace! Peace! Peace eternal! Flowers—soft and oh, so tender, so mortal, it might be said. Mortal, yes, but immortal. The music seeks their fragrance; finds it and lingers, hovers about it—hovers tenderly. Above—high above, man’s humble art has painted the Master of that music, of those flowers— the Master of All. And He looks down—looks down compassionately and extends His hands, extends them to His chil- dren below Him. Weep not for yonder sleeping youth. Would ye weep for joy? Then weep not, for he has found what we have still to seek—the Joy Everlasting at the knees of God. 116 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Dean C. Swan, Jr. We have again been forced through lack of space to hold to a later date several poems of those submitted for publication. This surely evidences once more the widespread interest in poetry in Somerville High School. “Alexander Passes,” by Beatrice E. Mann, is both forceful and stirring. It is, as are all of Miss Mann’s poems, of an outstanding char- acter that grips one and holds the undivided attention until the last line has been read. Treating a like subject in a very dissimilar way, Bartlett H. Stoodley introduces the sonnet to our columns. His poem, “Prodigium Belli,” emphasizes the same cruelty of war which is so stressed in “Alexander Passes.” Charles Jellison’s poem, “Courage,” which was read and discussed at the last meeting of the poetry section of the English Club, appears in this issue, where all may read and appreciate both the poetic thought and expression. We again have the pleasure of introducing two new con- tributors, Samuel Nelson and Francis Mc- Carthy. “To a Friend,” by Samuel Nelson, is particularly beautiful for its thought, while Francis McCarthy’s poem, “My Fairyland,” is beautiful for the picture presented. We trust that both will make further contributions to the Poetry Corner. MY FAIRYLAND Where the moonlight turns the rolling waves to silver, And the sailboats canter merrily ’round the bay. Where the gentle breeze sighs softly o’er the water, And the sun shines brightly all the day,— Where the air resounds with screech of gulls, And the waves dash fiercely on the shore, That’s where I long to linger and watch The beauty of Nature—for evermore. Francis McCarthy. PRODIGIUM BELLI Thrice cursed beast of war—for what are ye?— Who hear the brutal battle-shout and then The bloody charge of multitudes of men? And more, because of heart ye canst not be, Ye laugh, as o’er the land and o’er the sea. The ever-faithful lover slowly dying With body in his flowing life-blood lying, Now wafts a kiss from the shore of eternity. Ye howl with glee, 0 vile, 0 blood-red beast. And then ye glide the silent shadows through With foaming fangs so foul, and reeking sides. Ah when. 0 God, shall war at last have ceased, That man may live in Peace? And lovers, too, May ever tread the path that ne’er divides! Bartlett Stoodley. TO A FRIEND Dear friend, somehow You have captured my heart. There is something— I know not what— That grips my soul, And carries it out to you. Can it be that I Love You? If this be Love, Then Love is beautiful. My Love for you has raised me To the purity of the Gods, And likewise to their bravery; For I would dare death For your well-being. And if you were suff’ring, Yours would treble mine own. Samuel Nelson. COURAGE When I pause along the roadway that I’m trav- eling And see the narrow meanness of it all. The buffets and the tumbles of experience. Then all that’s joy in life begins to fall. ’Tis then I turn and face the future bravely, And try to see the road as smooth and bright, But only see great darkness and a winding, stony trail That leads away for aye into the night. Is the struggle worth the winning When friends are feigned and winds unkind. When love is but a dream and life a struggle And the fortunes of the journey poor defined? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 117 But why should I fear to face the future With all its pits and petty snares? I’m young and bold and the sun is warm, The man who wins is the man who dares. While there’s warmth in the rain to befriend me And cheer in the buds and the flowers, And I know there’s a just God in heaven I’ll fight on with impregnable powers. Charles Jellison. ALEXANDER PASSES I A city sleeping in the summer sun Atop a hill, behind whose green-gray crest The sun, day-wearied, sinks each night to rest While dusky twilight murmurs: “Day is done.” A dusty hill with green robed, fertile slopes About whose foot the plowman toils all day, Where waves the golden grain, and new-mown hay With sweet scent bathes the traveler in hope. Alexander wars, but naught it knows, This dreaming town, of battle and of swords. Miles, dusty roads fence it from fighting hordes. No hint of blood brings soft south wind that blows. II A dull beat, beat, beat, beat, A muffled clink of dagger striking mail, A quivering cloud of dust a-down the dale. The rhythmic tramp, tramp of marching feet. Louder, gruffer growls the beating drum, The clank of swords and shields grows harsher still. The grizzled dust cloud billows up the hill. Nearer bloody war and terror come. Thunder! dread doom drums! Shriek! trumpet, shrill shriek! Clash! crash ! brands, shields, Alexander comes! On, on, relentless war! Wail, weep, mothers, men! Tramp, tramp of booted feet, Thud, thud of drums. Ill The drums die off as distance dulls the sound. The tramp of feet is muffled, and the cloud Of dust sweeps past the distant fields, new plowed, And ground still quiv’ring with the muted pound Of dread war’s warriors, while the piercing scream Of trumpet trembles, timid, up the hill, And Terror’s henchmen, drum and trumpet shrill Fade with the distant dust cloud into dream. Sweet, soft south wind Sweeps over kneeling men, Kisses tear-stained cheeks, Sweeps dust away. War has come, gone, Still men live on, Alexander marches on To distant fray. Beatrice Mann.

Maulsby, who was graduated from Somerville High in 1908, is surely a credit to our school. After attending Tufts College, where his father, the former Professor David Maulsby, was teaching English Literature, he advanced rapidly along journalistic lines. At present he is assistant professor of journalism at the University of Iowa, and is the author of a book called “Getting the News,” which is a collection of lectures and magazine arti- cles. The critics have commented very favora- bly upon the book. As Mary Roberts Rhinehart is one of Ameri- ca’s most popular writers, her latest mystery story, “The Red Lamp,” will receive a hearty welcome. It is appearing in serial form in the Cosmopolitan. She has also revived “Tish” for the readers of the Saturday Evening Post. Her sons are studying the publishing business, and one of them has done some scenario writ- ing. The February Scribner’s has presented a “Portrait of Edwin Booth,” an excellent biog- raphy of the man. He is known as one of America’s greatest Shakespearean actors, and unfortunately as the brother of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. There also appeared in the February Scrib- ner’s a short poem by Edward Bok entitled “The Glory of All England.” Boston has been showing her admiration for Dickens in various ways during the past month. There have been exhibitions of some of the priceless first editions which bear his name in the Boston Public Library and in Jordan Marsh’s book department. One of the conveniences which is ours if we choose to use it, is the list of prominent and interesting magazine articles which is posted monthly in the Somerville Public Library. A recently published life of Robert Louis Stevenson written by Stuart has caused much comment in the literary world. The leading critics are more or less at swords’ points over it some praising it highly and others hotly denouncing it as untrue and unfair. Zane Grey has added another book to his numbers. This time it is a non-fiction book which he has named “Tales of Southern Rivers.” In looking over an English newspaper, we discovered that the cross-word puzzle fad has invaded England as well as America. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS’ CLUB The members of the Players’ Club have been more than active in the past month. Thirty members of the club under the chap- eronage of Miss Bell on Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 17, were the guests of Professor Gilmer, of Tufts College, where they witnessed four short plays, two tragedies and two comedies, given by the “Three P’s.” Professor Gilmer’s actors were appearing in public for the first time, and they showed great promise for the future by their lack of self- consciousness. The fine staging and the unique costumes worn in the futuristic drama deserve special mention. It is hardly necessary to add that the Players’ Club is always pleased when an invitation arrives from Tufts College. The Senior Play is to be repeated on Friday evening, March 20, for the benefit of the His- torical Society. The student body will be delighted to hear that plans have been presented to the Players’ Club by Monroe Burbank for a new set of flats. Mr. Avery has authorized it, and has promised to have it paid for from the school funds. Miss Bell is now preparing a one-act play by Booth Tarkington entitled “The Ghost Story.” The cast consists of the following members of the Players’ Club: Florence John- son, Wesley Dupertuis, Elizabeth Easton, Pauline Baptista, Philip Rusden, George Kelley, Albert Irving.

The Radiator has received an interesting letter from Paul Theodore Wilson concerning the twenty-seventh annual Tech show, of which Mr. Wilson is the assistant publicity manager. The opening performance of the show is to be given at the Somerville Theatre on the evening of Friday. March 20, 1925. This will lie the first time the show has played in Somerville since 1916. This year’s production, “The Duchess of Broadway,” is being staged under the personal direction of Ned Wavburn, producer of the Ziegfeld Follies. After the Somerville performance the show will make its usual tour to New York, Hartford and North- ampton, and will play at the Boston Opera House later in the season. This year’s show follows the usual musical comedy type, with an original plot and a book of catchy songs. Several Somerville High School graduates have attended the tryouts and may make the show. This should be of special interest to those who are preparing for M. I. T., for as Mr. Wilson says: “It shows another side of Tech life be- sides the usual grind.” Dorothy Shaw has recently returned from a two months’ trip to Los Angeles, California, where she visited Velma Morrison. Velma Morrison, who is now living in Cali- fornia, is engaged to Charles Daniels. 1921 The engagement of Laura Cruwys to H. Woodman Phillips has been announced. Randall Coyne is at Boston College.

Kennedy—Editor David Warsowe—Assistant Editor The girls who meet in 111 for physical train- ing have a daily visitor in a small grey creature with an entertaining song. Perhaps this dis- traction is the cause of the former winning class losing its place in the last competition. Miss T. (to girls holding conversation): “Girls, this is Better Speech Week, but that does not imply that it is More Speech Week.” If the suggestion that pupils tardy or ab- sent be lined twenty-five cents were followed out, we feel that many Somerville families would immediately become financially embar- rassed, n’est-ce pas? Heard in Senior history class:— “The Monroe Doctrine was a masterpiece of the great pacificator, Henry Clay.” Heard in French:— Miss W.: “Avez-vous un frere?” Pupil: “Oui, j’en ai (Johnnie) pas.” Both the girls and the boys in 115 were chosen to compete in the semi-finals of the physical training competition. On Friday, 13th, the Somerville Chess Team set out with high intentions for Brookline to play the Brookline High Chess Team. Two members got lost in the subway, so there were but four left to uphold the name of Somerville High. Fortunately, the match was won by the Somerville men. With the advent of spring so close at hand it would be well to commence now to refrain from cutting corners across our school lawn. It has been noticed upon several occasions that members of the Senior class have various idiosyncrasies. But for the first time a sign of weak-mindedness has been observed. A young lady paused recently before the thresh- old of Room 105 and said with a puzzled air: “Am I here?” Although the students of 115 are capable of many heroic deeds and great things, they can- not perform the impossible. During exercise period one member refused to comply with the command to change his feet. He said it could not be done. On Friday, the sixth of February, the Slide- Rule Club held a meeting at which problems in obtaining square and cube roots were com- puted on the slide-rule. Miss Eleanor Harmon of 115 expects to en- joy her February vacation in Washington, D. C. We all hope that the baseball team will do as well as the hockey team, and that’s going some. Room 115 has twelve pupils on the Credit List. This is considered a very good record. A reproduction of the Senior Play, “Seven Chances,” will be given for the benefit of the Somerville Historical Society in Clayton Ellis Hall in the near future. It is regretted that the leading feminine role cannot be taken by Catherine Heiser, who did splendid work in the former production. Heard in Geology Class:— Teacher: “What age did Adam and Eve live in ?” Brilliant student: “The apple age.” 122 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A conversation between two members of the Slide-Rule Club. First member: ‘T think I know how to mul- tiply two by two now.” Second member: “Oh! that's nothing, I know how to divide six by two.” A tiny Sophomore overhearing this conver- sation wonders whether he is in a kindergarten instead of in a high school. Many Seniors would rejoice if some device similar to the slide-rule, which would rapidly translate their Latin, were invented. About two weeks ago Coach Ayer bought new jerseys for the hockey team. These were of a dazzling color. Soon afterwards he painted bright red lines on the hockey sticks. This evidently was too much for the “Spirit of Win- ter,” who has fled to a place where he will not be overcome by the brilliancy of resplendent color. Heard during a debate. Speaker: “Do we want such organizations in our democratic school?” Pause. Absolute silence on the part of the audience. Speaker: “Ah, a thunderous ‘No' greets my ears.” The Senior Class held an assembly Wednes- day, February 11, for the purpose of arousing- interest in the Radiator Year Book. The president introduced the first speaker, Mr. Hosmer, who spoke in regard to the financial condition of the Radiator. Donald Belden, editor-in-chief, requested that the class co-op- erate with the staff in every way and explained the plans for the year. Donald Miller, now of the Tufts College paper, and formerly business manager of the Radiator, gave a very inter- esting talk on the Radiator. Mr. Avery closed the meeting with several helpful remarks. The editors are desirous of making the 1925 Year Book a great success, and are exerting every effort to accomplish this end. Much of the success, however, rests with Seniors. If you intend to have your picture in the Year Book, pay your dollar; have your picture taken as soon as possible; and pass in the glossy. We wonder what is on the bulletin outside Mr. Tuttle’s office. Every day there is a large crowd of Seniors attracted by this centre of interest. Each one looks at the notice, stands, still as if spellbound, and then as if seriously affected quickly hurries away. 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Helen Gordon—Assistant Editor Johnny (translating with difficulty): “Er— er—er—.” Teacher: “Spell it, John.” Johnny: “E—r.” Heard by Study Pupil “Something in your mouth, young man?” J. C.: “Yes'm, teeth.” “And then he became an eggsile,” quoth the Junior. “Poor thing, he has a cold,” explained his sympathetic friend. If we could find an antonym for “forecast” we’d say that the (antonym) for the months of January and February was snow, rain; rain, snow; snow, rain. We seldom stoop to sarcasm, but oh, how Division II, French I), adores irregular verbs! To what is the world coming? Cross-word puzzles! What will be the next fad? If winter ever goes, spring will be sure to follow! We know of a Junior who sent sixty valen- tines! How many did he receive? We forgot to inquire. To some of us study periods are just one' nap after the other. Teacher: “Take thirteen pages of translation for tomorrow.” But the class didn’t say, “Hor- rors! thirteen is bad luck, may we not take fourteen?” We wonder, if in heaven, where all good angels probably go to school, the teacher raps on her celestial desk with a celestial pencil and says: “No talking, please.” A Junior had a most unusual dream quite recently. He dreamt that about 11.40 a golden elevator conveyed him to the lunchroom of a school called Somerville High. In the lunch- room a smiling waiter bowed him to a chair drawn up to a flower-decked table covered with snowy linen. A line of forty waiters served him with forty courses of food. When he had eaten his fill and taken his time in doing so, he rose, and asking the waiter the price of such a banquet royal, he was surprised to hear SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 123 him say, in most apologetic tones: “Ten cents, sir, although we did not have much to eat today.” The Junior fainted. When he woke up it was 11.40. He made a mad dash for the luncheon, where he bought two hot dogs for ten cents. First Junior: “Why do you suppose we had so much snow this winter?” Second Junior: “And why not, my dear?” First Junior: “Oh, some scientific reason, I suppose.” Second Junior: “Of course, my dear, mental telegraphy between man and atmosphere. Hasn’t everyone been shouting that it ain’t going to rain no more for the past year?” (Note: Aren’t Juniors just the cleverest things? Or did Noah discover that one, too?) The editors, after interviewing several in- dividuals, have at last discovered why men do not rise in a street car and say politely: “Per- mit me, madame, to allow you to be seated.” The reason? Perhaps we should not tell, but we shall. Men hate to be conspicuous. Strange how the coming spring awakens some to Nature’s beauty and others to golf sticks! And to think that eighteen hundred and sixty-two years ago Cicero was talking to the Roman Senate! He must have had a good pub- licity manager! It is our business to record unusual occur- rences and the other day everyone in English Division II-A prepared his theme! Now that the days are growing longer we shall have more time to study by daylight. Those who have not had a cold this winter are among the few individuals who can be in- dividual. First Junior: “Don’t allow yourself to be so easily swayed, my dear.” Second Junior: “Can’t be helped.” And he grasped more tightly the street car strap. Strange how Juniors acquire nicknames with such alacrity. For instance, do you know “Ben Hur (d)”?—or “Oakie”?—or “Hand- some”?—or “Hopeful”?—or “Willie”?—or “Bal”?—or “Weezie and Beezie”?—or “Doll”? —or “Charlie, My Boy”?—or “Happy Harry”? —or “Glum”?—or “Frannie”?—or “Teddy”? —or “Red”?—or “Spin”?—or “Jig”?—or “Mannie”?—or “Biddy”?—or “0 Henry?”— or “Cupid”?—or “The Little Songmaker”?— or “Little Lize”? First Dumbeii: “Can a skylark swim?” Second Dumbell: “No, of course not—why?” First Dumbell: “I just wondered why Shelley put him in the ‘great blue deep.’ ” Visitor (to member of T. S.): “How does one get out of this school, little boy?” T. S. Member: By the door, sir.” Editor’s note: Did the little boy get revenge? F. H. (to S. M.): “I wonder if it’s a sin to consider one’s self handsome?” S. M.: “Well, in your case it’s a mistake!” How we wish that C meant clever. I) meant dandy. E meant excellent. (One would not have to be forced to aspire- to the Honor Roll.) Miss C (to T. O. C. indignantly): “I’d like to manage you for a week!” T. O. C. (meeklv) : “I’ll speak to father about it.” Radiator news item: Calamity overtakes switchboard! Room 305 cut off from rest of world till tele- phone is repaired! We Juniors would like to know why Sopho- mores don’t take to heart Mr. Wilkins’ useful motto, “Make your head save your heels.” 1927 Robert Stephens—Editor Fae Warren—Assistant Editor We, the class of ’27, are now an organized body in one sense of the word, yet are we co- operating with one another in the true sense of the word? Is each one—are you making an effort to uphold the standards of the Som- erville High ? Are you doing your part in every activity? Are you upholding your school’s ideals? If you are doing this, you are per- forming your duty: you are co-operating. Co-operation spells success and success is gained only by “honor and progress.” Honor your school, be proud of it, and let it make possible your advance to better things. When we, the Sophomores of today, come to gradu- ate in 1927, let each one of us be able to say that he has progressed a long way in the road to successful manhood and womanhood during the three years in the Somerville High School, and has added his bit to the school. 124 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I i As We See Others The Mirror, Coldwater, Michigan.—Your Christmas edition was very good.

EXCHANGE NOTES SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 125 ATHLETICS Somerville. 1; Stoneham, 1 Somerville and Stoneham played to a 1-1 tie at Stoneham on January 24. The game was slow because of poor ice, it being all broken up. Captain “Tacks” Crosby sunk in Somerville’s goal, while Pryor suc- ceeded in manipulating the puck past “Gun- boat” Baker for Stoneham’s lone point. The tie will be played off at a later date. Somerville. 0; St. Mark’s. 0 The Somerville hockey team played a draw game with St. Mark’s School at Southboro on Friday, February 6. The game was closely con- tested, the sides being evenly matched. Fine defensive work by the defence men saved many scores. The Somerville team was treated with the finest cordiality and extends its thanks to the school. Somerville Shuts Out Dorchester. 2-0 Somerville’s snappy hockey six defeated the City League leaders, 2-0, at the Western Junior High School rink on January 28. The ice was a little slow, and consequently the Somerville puck chasers did not play their usual fast game, but nevertheless they won. Captain “Tacks” Crosby and Kelson were the scorers, driving in a goal apiece. Score: Somerville, 2; Dorchester, 0. Goals —Crosby, Kelson. Referee—Stewart. Time— Three eleven-minute periods. Timekeeper— Connolly. Milton Nips Somerville. 12-10 In a close game at Milton on January 30. Milton beat Somerville by the close score of 12-10. It was a hard game to lose, but a good one to win. Small was Somerville’s individual star, con- tributing many thrills by his great floor-work, and also contributing two points for the weak side. Burke was the high scorer for Milton. The summary:— MILTON Goals Fouls Point Connors, r. f., 0 0 0 Halliday, r. f., 0 0 0 Healy, 1. f., 0 1 1 Burke, c., 2 3 7 Loud, c., 1 0 2 Johnson, r. g.. 1 0 2 Kennedy, 1. g.. 0 0 0 Adams, 1. g., 0 SOMERVILLE 0 0 Goals Fouls Points Corbett, 1. f., 0 0 0 Fanncn, r. f., 0 2 2 Warren, c., 1 1 3 Finn, c., 0 0 0 Small, r. g., 1 0 2 Wilson, 1. g., 1 1 3 Score: Milton, 12; Somerville, 10. Referee —Lawrence. Somerville Noses Everett, 15-14 Somerville defeated Everett by a hair on January 16 at Everett. Young Corbett, our Sophomore forward, was the high scorer, scor- ing three baskets. “Red” Wilson was the hero, tying up the score in the final moments of the game by making a difficult shot, and then drop- ping in a foul that won the game. Let’s hope “Red” will pull some of these thrillers on the gridiron next fall.

Time after time the Somerville team by great team work drove home a goal. Walter Kelson scored no less than four goals, an unusual feat. 126 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Scully was the afternoon’s hair-raiser, taking the puck through the whole Boston Latin team unassisted, and driving home the puck for the ninth tally. Captain Crosby donated his share of the goals, while McFayden made many bril- liant rushes down the ice. Score: Somerville, 12; Boston Latin, 2. Gcals—Kelson, 4; Crosby, 2; Scully, 2; Cole, 2: McFayden, Billings, Minton, Martin. Pen- alties—Kelson, two minutes for slashing. Time —Three twelve-minute periods. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL As a result of the large number of girls who have reported for basket ball, in addition to the splendid work of Miss Eleanor McElroy, our coach, two class teams and a varsity team have been organized. Although the teams are handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium, they are doing good work. The teams wish to thank Coach Ayer for allowing them to use the Western Junior High School gymnasium on Thursday after- noons. With the use of this gym and the Bing- ham School, we hope the season will end as successfully as it has begun. Games have been played with Arlington and Everett. Inter-class games have begun, starting with a game between the Junior and Sophomore teams. The faculty game was scheduled and played Thursday, February 12, at 3.30 P. M., at the Western Junior High School. The faculty consists of Miss Harvey, guard; Miss Camp- bell, jumping centre; Miss Burke, forward; Miss Kenney, guard. Following this will be games with Everett and Revere. The varsity consists of Ellen O’Donnell, jumping centre, 1925; Marie Harney, guard, 1925; Edith Campbell, guard, 1926; Evelyn Palmer, forward, 1926; Lillian Ranaghan, for- ward, 1926; Billie Burke, side centre, 1926; Grace Harkins, forward, 1926; Gladys Allen, guard, 1926; Helen Wright, side centre, 1927; Helen Stem's, jumping centre, 1927. Catherine Croy, Manager. The girl’s basket ball team played a practice game with the girls from Everett High on Tuesday, January 27, at the Western Junior High School. The game proved to be very exciting, espe- pecially the last quarter. Everett had gained a few points on Somerville, but when the period closed the score was 24 to 23 in favor of Som- erville. Both teams, however, played exceed- ingly well. Somerville Trips Stoneham, 22-10 The Somerville basket ball quintet won a victory over Stoneham’s team on Wednesday, February 11. Almost all the Somerville players contributed to the scoring, while the Stoneham players were held to two goals by Clark, who eventually was Stoneham’s high scorer. Wilson played his usual fine game, scoring three baskets for his Alma Mater. The summary:— SOMERVILLE Goals Fouls Points Corbett, 1. f., 1 1 3 Fan non, r. f., 2 0 4 Warren, c., 1 0 2 Connolly, c , I 1 3 Small, l.g., 2 0 4 Gerrish, 1. g., 0 0 0 Finn, l.g., 0 0 0 Wilson, r. g., 3 STONEHAM 0 6 Goals Fouls Points Clark, l.f., 2 1 5 Kelly, r. f., 0 2 2 Taylor, c., 0 0 • 0 Richards, 1. g., 0 1 1 Ford, l.g., 0 1 1 Bailey, r. g.. 0 1 1 Fletcher, r. g., 0 0 0 Score: Somerville, 22; Stoneham, 10. Arlington, 23; Somerville, 12 Somerville showed much improvement over the first game they played with Arlington by holding the strong Arlington quintet to a 23-12 score. Somerville’s hoop shooters threw a scare into the Arlington team by leading them for the first few minutes of the game, but when the powerful Arlington team got started, try to stop them! Somerville did its best. “Dick” Warren was the high scorer for Somerville, while Marsters was Arlington’s star. Revere. 23; Somerville. 7 Revere decisively defeated Somerville, 23-7, at the Western Junior High School on Febru- ary 4. It was Revere’s second victory over Somerville this year. Although the score was one-sided, the game was full of thrills, and the players had the tendency to rough it up. Wilson furnished much excitement, scoring many falls, and is being considered as an opponent for “Big” Munn. Solari, the Revere forward, was the high scorer of the match.

G. Applin, of West Somer- ville, on March 4, heard an inaugural address seldom surpassed in United States history, and those unfortunates who did not hear it would do well to spend a few hours studying a copy of it, both for its structure and context. Characteristic of the President, the inaug- uration was as simple as such a great occasion could be and retain its impressiveness, while the inaugural address itself was extraordinary. The President’s clear thinking and farsighted- ness appealed to the people. There was no dem • onstration of hostility or political bias. There were no vague statements, no straddling of fences; he showed a faith and belief in the people of our great country, and an enthusiasim in our prosperity that should rouse patriotism in every American heart. He reviewed the tax situation and the need of reform with a clarity which no one could misunderstand. There was no visionary idealism, no sophis- try displayed, but just a lucid outline of the foreign and domestic policies of the adminis- tration and reasons for such. If the government will progress along the lines of the President’s sane and solid reason- ing, we may be assured of an administration of prosperity and peace, comparable to the best in our history. We are indeed glad to notice that the Sopho- more and Junior classes are beginning to pro- duce material worth printing. There has long been a feeling in our hearts that the Radia- tor has been too much a paper of the Seniors this fall and winter, but the material (and this was very little) from the other classes just did not merit approval. An increasing number of clever stories, poetry contributions and lively class notes, however, point out that these classes are not as dormant as heretofore. WATCH THE JUNIORS WITH THEIR NUM- BER NEXT MONTH. At last, classmates, our goal is in sight. As we go to press, the clubhouse to be erected on Dilboy Field is practically assured us. The plans were sent back to Commissioner Dudley to be made more specific, and probably by this time have been sent to contractors for bids. If things turn out well, the cost will be placed on the supplementary budget for 1925, and construction started the first of April. For this great and necessary improvement we must doff our hats to Clarence Ingalls, 1925, whose untiring efforts, with the assistance of Mrs. Mathews and several others, are deserv- ing of great praise. Why not show your appreciation of their work in our behalf by giving them your thanks? For his story, “The Letter,” Damon Hoffses, 1927, received a certificate of honorable men- tion from the Boston Traveler. The story was submitted for the short story contest, but was not printed. We have had our attention called to the re- ception of the autograph of Mr. Edward Bok and accompanying messages, now on exhibi- tion in Room 110. Robert Bloomer in his “Ed- vard Bok and Two High School Boys,” which our readers will find on another page, has given us an interesting account of the incident. It is indeed a great honor to receive recognition by such a renowned man as Mr. Bok, especially when we take into consideration the value of his time and the number of letters asking for answers that he must receive every day. Most of us have read his interesting autobiography, and we can see how carefully he is following out the American ideals which he clearly ex- pressed in his book. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 135 My Friends in Books Sheldon Christian, 1925 HERE are a great number of peo- pie who seem to be constitution- ally unable to read extensively. OSSvjCTK By nature they are even averse to reading. This class is composed of a certain distinct type of peo- ple, usually inclined to be mechanical. Then there is the exact opposite of this type, composed of people who enjoy reading almost more than anything else. This type inherits the accumulation of wisdom, philos- ophy, science and humor of the world’s most brilliant minds, the greatest geniuses If I were to be exiled for five years' ’(we will say), and compelled to live in a forest, I would ask that these two wishes be granted, and no more: First, that I could have a saddle horse and dog; and second, an unlimited library re- plete with books of my own choosing. What more could one desire? I have already made many friends through the happy medium of books,—good friends, waiting to serve at my least whim; silent friends, who will never pour their tales into unwilling ears; tried friends, and old; my friends forever. While still very young I read “King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table,” and was introduced to a not so very bad boy by Thomas Aldrich Bailey: to Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper, by Mark Twain; to Rob- inson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe; to the Swiss Family Robinson by someone whose name I do not remember, and is known to but few people; and to dear old Buck, the dog who answered the “Call of the Wild,” by Jack London. I have since then met James Fitz-James and Ivanhoe through Sir Walter Scott. Thomas Hughes introduced me to Tom Brown, East and Arthur, whose story touched my heart more than I would care to tell. Robert Louis Steven- son took me to Treasure Island, along with his swash-buckling, wine-women-and-song buc- caneers; and just recently David Balfour be- came one of my friends in books. ORCHESTRA CONCERT APRIL 24 Seniors, plan to buy a ticket for the annual concert given by the Somerville High School Orchestra, April 24. Juniors, do not miss this wonderful oppor- tunity. Sophomores, show your school spirit and Among the friends whose acquaintance has been endeared to me during the last two years are Uncas, the Last of the Mohicans; Peer Gynt, Ibsen’s creation; Evangeline, who in the height of her maidenly bloom was cruelly torn from her lover on the eve of her wedding; Hiawatha, the story of whose life has a melancholy ring throughout, and who devotes his life to the welfare of his people; the crea- tions of James Willard Schultz and Charles Alexander Eastman, which somehow make the Red Man more real, more human, more like ourselves; Francis Parkman, who takes one across the Oregon Trail through a series of delightful and thrilling incidents; the Vir- ginian, whose sterling and lovable qualities Owen Wister portrays so beautifully and with such humanness of touch; and Jean Valjean, whose life was filled with so much sorrow and suffering as would have utterly crushed any other, and who came out of the furnace with soul so great, so magnificent, so Christ-like that one could almost cry with Cosette and Marius when the angel of God spread his great wings to gather to his bosom the departing soul. Of Shakespearian friends I have many, some of them being Othello, Hamlet, Shylock, Lear, Romeo (whom I detest and should not call friend), Petruchio (that most brilliant fellow, I could almost love him), Launcelot, and a veri- table host of other characters whom Shakes- peare created. In addition to these friends, these whom I hold dear, I have innumerable others, whose personalities are of lesser quality. I hope yet to make many new friends in books,—the crea- tions of Tolstoi, of Dickens, of Dumas, Thack- eray, and more of Hugo,—in fact, all of those great authors whose works have become our standard today. In conclusion, I will say that I consider my- self unusually rich at present; but fabulous wealth awaits me, and anyone else who will but take it, of knowledge, of enjoyment, of every thing, in my friends-to-be in books. hear for the first time our orchestra. Miss Swallow and Mr. McVey have worked long and patiently to make this orchestra the best the school has ever had, and the concert will be exceptionally good. Come all and encourage this important school organization. Dancing will follow the concert. 136 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Flapper and the King Beatrice Bates, 1926 HE southern wind blew gently over the royal garden of the King. Surrounded by his serfs in gold and silver, who fanned him cease- lessly with fans of peacock feath- ers, sat the King. Before him beautiful damsels danced. A fountain bubbled and sang as it cooled the fragrant air. By his side was the favorite, the loveliest woman in all Thrace. But the King was restless. Something new! Something new to entertain his royal mind! A wave of his jewelled hand dismissed the dancers. Another wave sent the favorite into sulky fits. Oh, things were so dull, so dull. The King clapped his hands thrice. The magician came running and bowed low. “Something new!” commanded the King. “The dancers did not please, sire?” “Nay, something new!” “But, Sire, there is nothing—nothing!” The King clapped his hands thrice. The ex- ecutioner came running and bowed low. “Sire?” The King pointed to the magician. “Off with his head!” The executioner raised his hatchet. The magician sprang out of the way. “Sire, wait, I implore thee!” “Something new?” “Y—es, Sire—s—something new!” The King waved away the executioner. “Tell me!” he commanded. The magician sat at the King’s feet and spoke with his eyes closed. “There will come, 0 Sire, a time when many wonders shall visit the earth. Great birds without wings shall carry men over the seas. Chariots without horses shall carry men over the ground very swiftly. Flying chariots shall whizz men through the heavens. Great— ” “Sirrah! Enough! I wish to see these things,” cried the King. The magician trembled. “Nay, Sire, the gods will be angry!” “Angry? Am I not thy King? Am I not the son of a god?” “Yes, Sire, but—” “Then I shall see these things!” So the King of Thrace skipped two thousand years and paid New York a visit. Incognito, of course. Yet it was difficult to forget old ways. In New York the King of Thrace learned many things. To him the marvelous wonders were nothing but black magic, nothing less. Life was exciting to the last degree. That is, he thought so until he met the flapper. Then he discovered that life had been tame to the last degree. Peggy was a little gold-digger, so to speak. Otherwise she would never have looked twice at the King of Thrace in a tuxedo. Perhaps not even once. “Call me up ’round 7 and I’ll show you a little jazz if you have plenty of bones to blow- in on a feed!” Peggy ordered. “Jazz? Bones? Feed?” repeated the King. But his magician luckily was at hand to ex- plain matters. If the King had had a weak heart the hour of seven would have finished him. A telephone, of all the wonders he had seen, was the most unexplainable. Cautiously he lifted an evil black thing and held it to his ear per direc- tions of his magician. Presently he heard a human voice. He scrutinized every corner of the room. There was no one present. Black magic! He threw the instrument to the floor and rushed from the room. That night the King learned a few dozen other things. A black demon with checkers on it took them to a palace where the torches didn’t keep blowing out. A group of men were making an awful racket with some shiny brass things. It made his head ache. A great group of men and women were performing strange antics on a shining floor. “Let’s dance,” suggested Peggy. “Men—dance?” The King was amazed. “Why, of course,” said Peggy with a giggle. The King lost several pounds in the ensuing hour. “Let’s go and eat,” suggested Peggy. When the food was set before them, the King looked around. “Tell them to bring me a roast pig! ” he com- manded. “Roast pig? Say, Kid, are you dreaming or what’ve you been taking tonight? This is darned good lobster!” The King gazed ruefully at the food before him. Then he thought of the feasts on his banquet tables. “Let’s dance some more,” Peggy suggested. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 137 The refusal of the King of Thrace was gentle but firm, extremely firm. The southern wind blew gently over the royal garden of the King. The King was restless. He clapped his hands thrice. The magician came running and bowed low. “Something new!” “The dancers did not please, Sire?” “Nay! something new!” The magician smiled. “There will come a time, a time, 0 Sire, when many wonders shall visit—” “Enough!” cried the King. He said no more. Instead he settled comfortably back against his cushions. A wave of his hand brought back the dancers. He looked fondly at his loaded banquet tables and sighed happily. Then he turned to his favorite, the loveliest woman in all Thrace. “By gum.” he said in language two thousand years advanced, “ you’re the peachiest little flapper I’ve ever met.” And he meant it. Was Wardle Right? Samuel Nelson, 1927 “Do you see those two fellows coming down the walk?” said a friend to me,—a newcomer to the city,—as we were taking the air, out- side of the High School. “Who?” I replied, “the big husky with the black wavy hair and build of a Hercules, and that trim-built fellow beside him with such a sober face?” “Yes, exactly. Tell me,” he asked, “would you ever think that they had fought one of the ugliest, and yet most peculiar fights one could ever imagine?” “Go away!” said I. “Nothing could come between those two fellows.” “Well,” replied my friend, seating himself upon a large granite stone of the front steps, “Perhaps you are right. ... It was just about nothing that did come between them. Listen: “One day it was whispered about up here that there was going to be a fight after school. I found a small crowd down back, under the big bridge that tops the railroad which passes there. When I arrived Dan Howard,—the bigger one, with such glorious hair, was in the centre of the crowd. He was in his shirt- sleeves and was evidently trying to persuade Sam Wardle, the fellow you see over there with Howard, to remove his coat in like fashion. “Howard was extremely popular here, you know,—member of most of the leading clubs, and one of the biggest fraternities, and was going to be a five-letter man in the bargain. But I fear that all this had caused him to be just a little blown up. “Wardle was equally popular,—before the school a great deal, a cool, reliable player of football and basketball, but unfortunately, he was always looked upon as being a little queer! For instance, he refused to become a fraternity man, because he believed that fraternities, in general, were detrimental to the moral and in- tellectual growth of a student. He believed that a fellow’s horizon, as a result of fraternity associations, would become limited to ‘my gang,’ or ‘my frat.’ “ T know what you said,’ Howard was say- ing as I approached. “ ‘You couldn’t possibly know, and carry on in this fashion,’ said Wardle. And here, as upon all occasions, he spoke with that well modulated voice characteristic of him. “ ‘You will oblige me,’ said Howard impa- tiently, ‘by removing that coat. I know darn well it was you who made that remark in the corridor—don’t try to squirm out of it.’ “Wardle stood there with his arms folded across his chest, very quiet and calm. “ ‘Howard,’ said he, 'You know my senti- ments about fighting, very well. And we have played side by side upon the gridiron long enough for you to have lost all doubt whatso- ever about my honesty and courage.’ I recol- lect now, how often he brought the team through to victory by pluckily bucking a line, or cunning manoeuvring that no one else could do. T wish that you would respect the ideals—’ “ ‘One! ’ shouted Howard. “Sam looked at him steadily. All this time he had refused even to unfold his arms and prepare himself. The crowd around them was just tingling with excitement, and no one dared speak; each watched the two in centre, breath- ing quick, short breaths. “ ‘Get ready said Howard roughly. “T am ready,’ Wardle replied quietly; and he smiled a little, I think. 138 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “‘Two!’ shouted Howard. “Silence a moment. Then— “‘Three!’ And almost instantly Howard's right fist shot out. It caught Wardle upon the chin, and he staggered backward a few steps. He recovered himself, somehow, and stumbled forward again. He had a peculiar light in his eyes, and when I saw it, a chill coursed down my back, because he was doing something I know no one else would have dared to do. “Howard was intoxicated by his conceptions of manliness—cruel, relentless. And when Wardle reeled forward he caught him again upon the chin, with even more force than be- fore. Wardle fell into the arms of those behind him; and scarce knowing their own actions they shoved him into the circle once more. And for the last time Howard struck out. Square upon the forehead he struck him. and Wardle crumpled up in a heap at his feet. Suddenly someone raised a shout of ‘police.’ and with cries cf dismay the crowd scurried from the scene, like the Aztecs after stoning their sacred king. “I ran with the others; but I had not gone far when I thought better of it and returned. I found a strange sight: Howard was tenderly placing his coat beneath Wardle’s head. He went to the little spring that bubbled nearby to wet his handkerchief, and began to bathe Sam’s forehead with the cool, moist cloth. He didn’t notice me. I doubt very much if he was aware of my presence. He began to murmur little nothings to Sam and to caress his head. Wardle’s eyes were closed, and he was lying very, very still there upon the ground. “After a moment, I saw his eyes open slowly, and when they met the gaze of Howard, he smiled gently,—a wonderful smile. “I left them, quietly, then. As it was I had intruded upon sacred ground. . . The Letter (J. Damon Hoffses. 1927 HE room was cold. It was a “dollar room.” Cold, damp, utterly dis- mal. Its burlap bunk, hideous in the semi-darkness, its crippled table and chair, mutely emphasiz- ing its wretchedness. Outside it rained. The wind beat the rain against the window in soft tattoo, then, with ever-increasing fierceness. It was No- vember rain—bleak and penetrating. The man, sitting stupidly at the table, shud- dered. He rose numbly, feebly rubbing his hands, and walked aimlessly to the window, bull raining! God! would it never stop? Since morning it had rained ceaselessly. Enviously he watched a policeman ring hi.- box at the corner. A slicker kept him dry, and underneath was a warm uniform. A uniform that meant a job—and food. His lips tightened convulsively as two men. hurrying through the storm, paused at the corner a moment to shake hands as they parted. Friends! Bidding each other good-night. How much friendship meant—and how little— to him. He hadn’t any friends—real friends— he never had any. Ah, for the handclasp of a friend! He was so hopelessly alone. He turned away and suddenly started. Re- laxing, his lips formed a mirthless laugh. He had caught a glimpse of his face in the battered mirror that hung by the window. He gazed at himself, fascinated. It was a horrible face, reflected in the faint glow from the street lamp. Seamed with vice, stamped indeiibly with the lines of failure. He was young—yet strangely old—a failure. Into his mind came the lines of a poem:— “I’ve lost all courageous virtues, I think I’ve even lost faith: After all, the Devil has his due, Cashin’ in on a weary wraith.” Shuddering, he stumbled back to his chair and flung himself across the table. A weary wraith! He was weary. A wasted life! Ah, could he but live it over! He was beaten. He no longer cared. In the quiet spaces, during the lull of the storm, he could hear the rushing of the river. The water would be high tonight. Even a strong swimmer would be as helpless as a babe. Just a plunge—and then—he rose in sudden resolve. Feverishly he pulled a battered felt hat down over his eyes and tucked his coat collar around his neck with nervous fingers. He sought the stairway. Hugging the banister, he hurried down the dark steps. At the bottom his hand knocked something from its place on the banister post. He stooped and picked it up. It was a letter. A letter! for somebody else. No one ever wrote to him. Who was the lucky person to whom this letter was addressed? He strove to read the name in feeble hall light. Suddenly he gasped. The letter was ad- dressed to him. To him! 139 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR With his heart giving quick little jumps, he hurried back up the stairs, the precious letter clutched tightly to his breast. He had saved a single match to light the stub of a cigarette, but now the stub was for- gotten. He struck the match, holding his breath in frantic fear that it might go out, and lit the gas. In the light his face was not so ghastly. A new glow had come into it, and his eyes were burning with intense eagerness. A plain envelope of the smaller business size. It was for him. Who had written it? Some- one from the almost forgotten past when—he had been—a man? Was it—from her? He wouldn’t have opened it for the world just then. He simply stared at it greedily. A letter! At last! a letter for him. His lips parted in anticipation. Almost reluctantly he slit it open. For a moment his eyes bored into the sheet and then, with a convulsive little cry like that of a wounded animal, he crumpled forward on his face. In the morning they found him—his face twisted horribly in bitter disappointment. Tightly clenched in his lifeless fist was the letter. The doctor knelt down to read:— Dear Sir:— Your Poll Tax for the ensuing year is long overdue. Please remit. Edward Bok and Two High School Boys Robert Bloomer. 1923 The class of III English R have been read- ing the life of Edward Bok, entitled “A Dutch Boy Fifty Years After.” Two members of the class, John Amlaw and George Greene, wrote to Mr. Bok and have re- ceived an answer! This to them was a great surprise, as they thought Mr. Bok was like the rest of the famous men of the day, “too busy,” and that perhaps if he complied with all the requests for his autograph, he would be kept busy all day in order to supply the demand. The boys waited for three weeks, thinking there was a bare chance of receiving his autograph. but after the third week they decided to for- get all about the request. During the fourth week, however, a pleasant surprise greeted them when they returned horns from school, for there in the letter boxes lay two envelopes. The boys in a great hurry opened the boxes and took out the letters, and when opened they revealed not only the auto- graph of one of the greatest men living today whose motto is “Service,” but also a message which every boy and girl might make their own. All wishing to see these communications may do so by visiting Room 110, where they will be found on the bulletin board. Samplers (From an Oral Theme.) Recently in one of Mrs. TopIifT’s Eng- lish classes (II English P, to be exact) a rather unusual oral theme was given by Christie Leadbetter about samplers. A sampler is a piece of embroidery or worsted intended to retain some design con- sidered of value, or in some cases a large piece of cloth or canvas upon which important events in the family of the maker were worked in diverse colors. To our surprise and delight Miss Leadbetter had four of these pieces of ornamental needle- work to illustrate her talk. Two of the smaller ones were made by her great-great-grand- mother, Lucy Leitner, in 1807 and 1809. The larger ones were made by her great-great-aunt, Eliza Leitner, in 1817 and 1822. For over a century these samplers have been passed down through Miss Leadbetter’s family. The smaller samplers contained the alphabet, Roman numerals from one to twelve, the name and age of the maker and the date when it was made. Intricate designs were worked around the border in colors of pink, bright blue and a copper red. One of the large samplers had worked on it several trees and flowers and two white lambs. In the centre was a short verse in plain lettering. The harmony of the many different colors was very beautiful. The last of the four, which we thought the most interesting, recorded the birth, marriage, and death of Eliza Leitner’s parents, with the coat of arms of her family on either side. This was worked on a light background in black letters. The class showed such great interest in the samplers that Miss Leadbetter was asked to bring them again, so that everyone might have the opportunity of seeing them. Besides being so interesting these pieces of embroidery are extremely valuable in the eyes of collectors, and we congratulate Miss Leadbetter in having such a rare collection in her possession. 140 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club of the Somerville High School received a special invitation to attend a dramatic meeting at the lecture hall of the Public Library, Tuesday evening, March 10, under the direction of Mr. Lowell Ames Norris. I might mention that Miss Bell is aiding this society to the best of her ability; that in it- self is a sure sign of success. On Friday afternoon, March 6, Mr. Norris gave the members of the club an interesting talk. “The Ghost Story” mentioned in the last write-up is to be ready for the public next week. The members of the club are very proud of the newly-purchased stationery which bears the title and the insignia of the club as a head- ing. A teachers’ jollification is being planned for the near future. Members of the Players’ Club are taking prominent parts in the De Molay show. Miss Bell gave a review of the current plays in Boston, at a dinner of the Drama League. Wesley Dupertuis of the Players’ Club pre- sented the club with a miniature French stage. The background shows a view of the Alps, which is a copy of a view that Mr. Dupertuis saw many times during his visit to his aunt in Switzerland. proud that it has produced one whose work al- ready has brought to it so much honor. The members of the club are looking forward to the time when he may again visit the club, and take this opportunity to thank him for his kindness. MALDEN HIGH USONA VS. SOMERVILLE GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY On March 9th the Somerville Girls’ De- bating Society debated with the Malden High Usona Debating Society in Malden. The ques- tion was: “Resolved, that written examinations should be abolished in the high schools.” The speakers for the affirmative were: Elena Ivaska, Helen O’Brien and Muriel Clark, of Somerville, and on the negative: Dorothy Mc- Leod, Hazel De Wolfe and Ernestine Westcott. In the rebuttal Muriel Clark, of Somerville, up- held the affirmative, and Dorothy McLeod, the negative. The decision of the judges was in favor of Somerville. Muriel Clark was voted the best speaker. The debate was well attended, and the fine support of the Somerville Boys’ De- bating Society was greatly appreciated. The judges were Miss Helen Lawton, of Cam- bridge; Mrs. E. F. Schofield, of Malden, and Mis Edith Blake, of Melrose. The coaches were Miss Rena S. Hezelton, of Somerville, and Annie F. Slattery, of Malden. POETRY CLUB At the last meeting of the Poetry Club the members and their friends enjoyed a delight- ful informal talk by John Holmes, Somerville High School, ’24; Tufts, ’28. Mr. Holmes read many of his poems. He told of the circum- stances under which he wrote some of them, and also gave a very good explanation of the difference between “free verse” and “rhyme.” He is a very gifted young poet and promises much. The Somerville High School indeed is THE BOYS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The boys’ new Debating Society has grown to one of the best known clubs of the school. From a membership of thirty, it has slowly in- creased to fifty active members. The officers are: President, Thomas Kennedy, 1925; vice- president, Lawrence Capodilupo, 1927; secre- tary, Daniel Cotter, 1926; treasurer, Edward McCarthy, 1925; moderator, Mi. Francis Mahoney (faculty) ; marshal, Philip Rusden, 1925. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 141 Dean C. Swan, Jr. A MESSAGE Samuel Nelson, 1927 0 ye people of this high school, Hark ye all, for just a moment! Listen all ye to my message, To my message, 0 ye people: It is not within your knowledge When your life shall have its ending. —Who can tell but that tomorrow Shall our final parting witness? Why not live lives clean and honest, Lives of beauty and of giving Always what is best within us That those people round about us May feel happy for our living? Why not fill our souls with beauty, Make each thought a thought of beauty, Make each deed a deed of beauty? Why not make each every action One that would but be repeated If we thought that on the morrow We should leave this earthly dwelling, Leave our friends and affiliations, Leave our good and well beloved ones, Leave the record of our actions— And embark for parts unknown? THE SENTRY Francis McCarthy, 1925 Far from home ’Neath the light of the moon, A soldier treads the stillness and gloom, His mind’s alert at every sound, But his heart is homeward, homeward bound. Again by his fireside, the glowing peat Casts weird shadows on those at his feet, Those dear ones, his children, who frolic and play Till the old house re-echoes the shouts of the gay— Ah! what wonderful times in that dear little home The best in the world wherever he’d roam—. From the stern lips of the sentry the half sup- pressed sigh Escapes, as he thinks of these dear scenes gone by. But hark! . . . what is that? Through the stillness of night a rifle spat, A moment later the woods resound With the crack of rifles from mound to mound, And their deadly fire with their ally death Crush the life of the sentry, who gasping his last breath, Falls—unknown, alone, far from home. Far from home ’Neath the waning moon, A soldier lies in the stillness and gloom. His mind is dead to worldly sound For his soul is heav’nward, heav’nward bound. THE BROOK Mina Haas, 1925 I Your shallow waters are stealing, Onward to the sea. 0 tell me, pretty brooklet, Whither do you flee? You pass by all the golden sands, That glitter on either side. Although rocks try to hinder you Still on and on you glide. II You run beneath the shady trees, As if to be protected. Again the azure skies are In your face reflected. You sing a song, as silently Over the sand you’re creeping. You twist and turn and jump and skip, And from the rocks you’re leaping. III Do you ever tire of going your way? For you never make any stops. But wind your way patiently, In and out the rocks. You unite with streams and rivers. As on your way you go. But you stop not for a single thing, Till into the sea you flow. 142 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7MOTES OF THE A LVAANI CA2-TTBELL08 1924 Helen Fenton is employed at the Cambridge Library Bureau.

Kennedy—Editor David Warsowe—Assistant Editor A meeting of those interested in a “Little Theatre” was held Tuesday, March 10, in the hall of the Public Library. Many students from Somerville High were present at the meeting. Wesley Dupertuis of 115 was chosen to serve on one of the committees. Friday, the 13th, held no terror for Som- erville’s basket-shooters. They closed up the season with a brilliant win over Stoneham. The new schedule of programmes is rather confusing to us now, but we must consider that it is our duty to keep a level head, listen to directions, follow them, and in that way make a success of any new plan. Co-operation is the keynote of success in everything. Miss S.: “Have you ever read Gulliver’s Travels?” D. W.: “Whv. yes. when I was a boy.” Teacher: “What did you get out of the Pres- ident’s inaugural address?” D—k—s—n: “I got out of two periods.” The orchestra was rehearsing while the pupils in a nearby room were taking after- noon examinations in English, and were strug- gling with that particular part of the examin- ation which required an original theme. Those pupils now feel that the saying that music is an inspiration is all wrong. The strains of music came: at first, sweet, and then strong. But, as for any inspiration, the writers of the examination waited in vain for it. The girls of 103 are thinking of getting up a petition to have a mirror installed in the dressing room. The glass in the door isn’t bright enough to show whether their noses are powdered or not. Boys: “I had my pictures taken last week and they look pretty good.” Girls: “I think my pictures are terrible. I must have them retaken.” Harry P. was wondering why he had to wait an hour while the camera was being fixed before his picture could be taken. The next day he heard M. had had his picture taken the day before. Now it’s all clear to Harry. Heard in Division R:— Mr. H.: “What are you talking about?” Mr. T.: “I was talking to myself.” Mr. H.: “Ah! You are so tired of talking to intelligent people that you like to talk to an ignorant person once in a while. Is that it?” We are all glad (?) of the opportunity to take those afternoon examinations. An interesting assembly for Senior girls was held Friday, March 13, to vote for dress-ma- terial for graduation. Miss Teele, Miss Sprague and Miss Bell spoke. Miss Haley kindly offered to aid the girls in making grad- uation dresses. The decision on material was left until Monday, when it was voted to have any soft, dull material. Although the weather was very unfavorable, a large number of pupils came Saturday morn- ing, March 14, to take the first Latin examin- ation. Senior: “Women are more beautiful than men.” Soph.: “Well, naturally.” Senior: “No, artificially.” The one great question that looms forth as graduation draws near: “What will the girls wear for graduation dresses?” 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR It is gratifying to the Senior class, and a great compliment to the players and Miss Hell, that the Somerville Historical Society has asked Miss Bell to present “Seven Chances” again in High School Hall, Friday, March 20. The pupils taking examinations on Satur- day now realize that heat is energy, and lack of heat is lack of energy. Therefore, let us have a little heat to make our three-hour stay interesting. Heard in French:— Miss B. (explaining verb construction): “Two good examples of this are ‘Le chien est perdu et ‘La viande est vendue ici ” Mr. S. (aside): “So that’s what we’ve been eating for lunch!” 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Helen (Jordon—Assistant Editor With interest we watch the progress of man- kind. From the zest for acquiring liberty bonds, we turned to the craze for everything Tut-Ankh-Amenish. From wriggly Egyptian symbols and hieroglyphics to Coue’s little verse, “Day by day in every way,” et cetera. After living from day to day in every way, we informed the world that we had no bananas, and that we knew for certain that it wasn’t go- ing to rain any more, and we thus tore the world from its age-old idea of mind over mat- ter. And now along comes radio and cross- word-------(The missing word has seven let- ters and means, “the reason why bruvver and sis now quarrel over the dictionary”). But never mind, Juniors, perhaps some day you will have the luck to set the world on fire with a new idea! The other day several Junior chemistry classes heard (and saw) Mr. Obear give a most interesting lecture on oxidation. If we had had no knowledge of chemistry it would have seemed to us as though he were a magician. Even as it was, we were stumped by that “wine and water” trick, which he performed “despite the traffic squad.” A Man from Paree: “But zee weather—eez eet—what say—crazee? Last night ther- mometer eet say eighty—thees morning one shovel zee snow!” The All-Wise Junior: “Don’t worry, old top, this is New England, you know. Why, one Fourth of July morning was so hot that no one could move—not move! But in the afternoon! Why. it came up so cold that everyone dug out his fur coat and ear-laps so’s not to freeze to death!” So be it! We’d hate to hear that Junior tell a ghost story! Favorite Indoor Sports at S. H. S. “One without!” “Six fives, please!” “Single file!” “No talking, girls!” The Powder Puff. Trying to get in the front door of West Building. Drill (nuff said). Making three flights in three seconds. Grinding the graphite. Trying to stay on the Senior floor around 12.10. The English division 2-P is very proud of two of their classmates, namely, Annie Saval and Gouldie Sahlin, who have written one or two poems which are worth comment. Many other members of the class are trying their hand at writing poetry also. How time flies! Only yesterday we were worried about Christmas presents. Now we are planning summer clothes! Some people go to the sunny South in winter and to the frozen North in summer. Perhaps it is because they do not care for the order of our seasons. A lecturer tells us that if one is not able to change one’s mind one might as well be dead, for new opinions form new ideas and new ideas form new civilization. At last we girls have a stable argument to advance. Even the most inspired poet has moments- when he is loath to greet the dawn. Miss B. (in French): “What do you intend to do during vacation, Johnny?” Johnny: “Oh, probably I’ll study French all week!” It grieves us to say it, but we doubt Johnny. How odd that vacation came on even week! An oddity, we’d call it. There was sadness in her eyes. Her lips trembled. Her voice shook with sobs. “No, mother,” she pleaded, “I can’t bear to stay home from school today.” If song expresses the sentiments and SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 145 thoughts of the multitudes, then a good many Juniors must feel all alone in a crowd. Miss S.: Beg pardon, Senor?” Student (meekly): ‘‘Oh, I’m only a Junior.” ‘‘School children suffer from lack of exer- cise,” say the wise. “Excuse me, I hate to contradict,” answers the Junior who has climbed three flights in two minutes. We take the Traffic Squad for granted, but we ought to think more about them. Had Wordsworth written about them he would have, no doubt, claimed that they have souls, for it was his pious belief that all things had souls, no matter how inhuman. Byron’s ode to them would have been filled with indignation against their monotonous, “Stop the talking! Speed up.” While Shelley would have depicted them as handsome, heroic deliverers of mankind from the terrible vices of slow motion and loose tongues. With which would you agree? It has been suggested that the T. S. adopt a suitable slogan. We present the following, which may be effective if delivered in right tone:— Speed Up! Single Up! Shut Up! There is no need to deny it, Ryan, you will miss your calling unless you become a song- writer! One thing is lacking in our well-supplied chemical laboratories and that is—a mechanical artist. “I won’t stand for such actions!” snapped the Junior’s father as he sat down in the near- est chair. Mr. H. (to class in 315): I’ve decided to let you go tonight.” “Red” W.: “You’re a gentleman!” Things that never happen:— H. W.—Treading lightly. J. B.—Growing taller. J. C.—Ignoring a girl. Room 315—Out on time. F. H.—With his hair uncombed. Miss B.—Frowning. Miss A—w—t—r—.—Gloomy. H. B.—Without a smile. L. C.—Without the other two. E. F.—Same thing. S. B.—Without F. C. F. C.—Without S. B. A new version of an old saying, He who sits upon a tack must rise again!” We agree. 1927 Robert Stephens—Editor Fae Warren—Assistant Editor Teacher: “George, who defeated the Philis- tines?” George: “Aw—, I don’t know. I don’t fol- low those bush league teams.” The first dance of 1927 was a success both financially and socially, and we look forward to our next one with greater enthusiasm than before. In English:— Teacher: “C, give me some anecdotes.” C.: “A rolling stone is worth two in the bush. Er—A bird in the hand gathers no moss.” The class of 1927 had the pleasure of hear- ing the band on its initial appearance this sea- son on March the 11th. Each of us feels that this performance was a success, and that such a band surely reflects credit on Somerville High. In the land of Somerville across the river Mystic was a band of people called Sophomore- ites. Each day they assembled in their temple Som—er—ville High and studied the mysteries therein. Some of the tribe studied hard, others were lazy. So the priest of the temple was vexed and he posted the names of the lazy ones, which said that they must work or they could not study the higher mysteries. They were afraid and hid their faces in books. When he saw they were sorry he said: “Let there be more studying done.” The response came: “Ay, there shall be.” And there was. Heard in geometry:— Miss G., M. D.: “Well, we will have to go back to the appendix and discover the trouble.” Small boy: “Me fadder wants a nickel’s wort of ice cream.” Clerk: Cone?” Boy: “Naw, Rosenbaum.” 146 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR We acknowledge the following exchanges so far this year.

The author is Anne Kim- ball Tuell, a member of the faculty of Wellesley College and sister of Miss Tuell who is head of the history department here at Somerville High. The book was reviewed extensively by the New York Times, and received ample praise. Alice Meynell, although she did not rank with the very great poets, can easily be classed with George Herbert, John Donne and Richard Crashaw. She wrote a comparatively small amount, the poems she chose to save filling only about 150 pages. The Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum, or, as it has been called, Mrs. Gardner’s Italian Palace, or Fenway Court, is open to the public on Sunday afternoons free of charge. It is full of priceless treasures, which Mrs. Gardner spent a large part of her life in collecting. For example, in the Gothic room there is a huge Bible which was written by hand, a beautiful rose window, a canopied fireplace which was taken from the palace of a French King, and many other works of art too precious to bear merely casual mention. The West Library has some new reference books—the new “Who’s Who,” the “Who’s Who in America,” and the 1925 Almanac, which con- tains all manner of useful facts. There are also two new sets of fifteen volumes each— “The Book of Popular Science,” which treats extensively of scientific subjects, and “The World’s Story,” which is an informal history of all the nations of the world. A number of new duplicate copies have been presented to the East Library. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, selected the ten men whom he considered had contributed most to the educational history of the last 200 years. The following names were given: Adam Smith, Michael Faraday, John Stuart Mill, William Ellery Channing, Horace Mann, Herbert Spencer, Ernest Renan, Charles Robert Darwin, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louis Pasteur. He listed as the greatest in the last 2800 years: Aristotle, Galen, Leonardo Da Vinci, Milton, Shakespeare, John Locke, Im- manuel Kant, Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Station WBZ is offering at present a num- ber of interesting educational features. Any student of French who possesses a radio should listen in on Professor Andre Morize’s French lectures, for to most of us it is a rarity to hear French spoken by a native-born Frenchman. The latest book of the world-famous natural- ist, Ernest Thompson Seton, is entitled “The Ten Commandments in the Animal World,” and is the result of years of study on the part of Mr. Seton. TWO LYRICS Richard Valente, 1925 Singing and singing, The caged birdling cries; Aye, singing and singing It, broken-hearted, dies. Why, my dog, when sorely hurt My love did you not try, Rather than, to a corner crawled, In anguish mutely die? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR MO ATHLETICS PRACTICE STARTS Baseball is now in style. The battery has been practicing since March 9. The rest of the squad has been practicing when the weather permits it to do so. Manager Frank X. Calandrella has made up a large and fine schedule, and every game will be worth seeing. There are twenty games scheduled. Ten are home games, so it will be worth-while buying a season ticket. All symp- toms point to victory. We have almost a vet- eran team, and as they were champs last year, things look bright this season. Then again we have in our midst “Danny” McFayden, who happens to be the best schoolboy pitcher in many states. Still more, we have “Gimpty” Hogan and Walter Kelson with us. The former was the home-run king of the Suburban League last year, and the latter was All-Scholastic first baseman. Among other veteran material are: Cole, short-stop; Fannon, second base; Billings, third base; Griffin, Murphy and Leahy, out- fielders, and “Pat” MacCahey, utility. FOLLOWING IS THE BASEBALL SCHED- ULE FOR 1925 April Saturday 11—Revere at Somerville. Wednesday 15—Lynn General Electric at Som- erville. Monday 20—Medford at Somerville. Wednesday 22—Melrose at Somerville. Saturday 25—Somerville at Gardner. Wednesday 29—Open. May Saturday 2—Gardner at Somerville. Wednesday 6—Everett at Somerville. Saturday 9—Somerville at Cambridge. Wednesday 13—Newton at Somerville. Saturday 16—Somerville at Rindge. Wednesday 20—-Somerville at Medford. Saturday 23—Brookline at Somerville. Wednesday 27—Open. Saturday 30—Somerville at Everett. June Wednesday 3—Cambridge at Somerville. Saturday 6—Somerville at Newton. Wednesday 10—Rindge at Somerville. Saturday 13—Winchester at Somerville. Wednesday 17—Open. Lowell Topples Somerville, 30-12 Lowell High School showed its superiority by trouncing Somerville, 30-12, at Lowell. Cap- tain Louris, of Lowell, was the high scorer of the game, scoring twelve points. Waltham, 38; Somerville, 13 Somerville received a walloping at the hands of Waltham in a game played at Waltham Feb- ruary 20. Andrews, of Waltham, was the star of the game, scoring twenty points. Small was Somerville’s best scorer. Reading Defeats Somerville, 14-9 In a game at Reading on February 30, Read- ing sunk the Somerville quintette, 14-9. Many fouls were called and the game was inclined to be rough. Captain “Dick” Warren and Elliot Small were Somerville’s best players. Somerville. 26; Belmont, 18 In a fast game at the Western Junior High, March 2, Somerville downed Belmont High, 26-18. The game was interesting to watch. “Johnny” Fannon led the Somerville scores with four baskets, while Butterworth, of Bel- mont, duplicated his performance. “Red” Wil- son played a fine defensive game, and contrib- uted his share of points toward the good cause. The summary:— SOMERVILLE Goals Fouls Points Gerrish, 1. f.. 1 0 2 Fannon, r. f., 4 0 8 Warren, c., 3 0 6 Small, 1. g., 2 1 5 Wilson, r. g., 2 1 5 Total BELMONT 26 Goals Fouls Points Giles, 1. f., 1 1 3 Wcocls, r. f., 1 1 o •J Butterworth, c., 4 0 8 Larson, 1. g., 0 0 0 De Stefano, r. g., 2 0 4 Total 18 Hebron Wins by a Mishap In a double header at the Boston Arena on March 7 Hebron Academy defeated Somerville, 2-1. It was the first defeat that Somerville has suffered this season, and the deed was done by its own hand. In the other game of the double-header, Melrose, one of Somerville’s vie- 150 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR tims, defeated Huntingdon Academy of Canada by a 3-0 score. Both games were thrillers, both going into overtime periods. The Somerville defeat was indeed unfortu- nate. In the first period Walter Kelson drew first blood for Somerville. Then Jeremiah, an ex-Somerville High hockey star, scored a nifty goal for Hebron, tying up the count. No other goals were made until the third overtime period, when one of the Somerville players ac- cidentally made a goal for Hebron, thus giving Hebron an unearned victory.

Horrors! How—er—high- brow!” “Ye—es—she knows something though.” “Course she does, stupid, but is the trouble ■worth it?” That’s just it. We respect knowledge, and yet unless it is simple as adding two and two or unless it is compulsory “it is too much trouble.” Quite often we meet people who verily believe that Keats was a white-haired Scotsman, and that words of over five letters are only for college professors. Perhaps if cross-word puzzles stay in vogue for the rest of the century, the last class will be eradicated —perhaps not. On the other hand it is so easy to open the door! Good books hold treasures—they are treasures! Some people scoff at the classics. These people are the ones who have never had enough ambition to read them. It used to be fashionable not to know anything. Now it is the fashion to know everything. Books are treasures! They furnish your storehouse of general knowledge! Remember that, Juniors! Get busy—read some of them! A Junior. In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns from thoughts of books. But the last quarter is important—don’t allow spring at- tractions to pull down your marks. Keep up the good work! Too many of us demand to know what good this study and that study will be to us when we get out of school. Among plenty of other reasons each subject adds to our general knowl- edge, and general knowledge is one of our most valuable possessions. It is the storehouse from which we draw supplies almost continu- ally. It influences our thoughts, our conversa- tions, our individuality and our lives. And these, to consider each carefully, mean a good deal. Life is like a door that is bolted. Bolted, yes, but all we need to do is to slip back that bolt. Yet too few of us do. It is so easy to sit back and keep our eyes turned within the room. Outside the door is a gorgeous vista, but we do not know it—we do not care to know it! And If they ran a bus line from the car-stop to the West Building door, there would be fewer tardy marks on report cards! As Class Day approaches, once again the Sophomores must bear up under the—er—tor- ture (?) of getting out of recitation periods to drill for the events! Being a Junior has its advantages, despite “those stairs,” et cetera! The advantages? Oh, in a short time most of us will be Seniors! The scores by great teams reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they by their companions helped Were cheered to victory with might. —Apologies to Longfellow. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 159 “When One Loves as I Love” Louise Caswell, 1926 E| HREE people sat on the Parker’s front porch one delightful June evening. One was Tom Holmes, gloomy and cross as a hungry man I before breakfast, one was Phyllis Parker, leaning eagerly forward and gazing with adoring eyes at a thin, sandy- haired youth with spectacles and wearing a most unfashionable suit of clothes, who was the third of the young trio, just in its salad days. The pale-haired one was blessed, or cursed, according to the way one views it, with the beautiful name of Theobald Breckinridge Brown. He was reading, with much extrava- gance of gesture, something that he fondly called “free verse”—but no one would listen to it, even free as it was, except this worship- ing young girl. “The moon above I love. The birds singing—garbling Wing their flight above the plain— The waters glinting under the midday sun—” So declaimed the young vers librist. “Hey, you’re all wrong—how come the ocean is on a plain?” “I said waters!” said Theobald patiently. “Oh, well—and do birds really sing under the moon—and I never saw the midday sun at night?” This in a tone fondly believed to be burning with sarcasm, from Tom. Phyllis gazed at him with pitying eyes. “Don’t you know free verse when you see—I mean hear—it?” “Well, just tell me what ‘garbling’ means, will you? And then I’ll go home—I should say ‘wend my homeward way,’ I suppose—,” glar- ing at Theobald, “because you seem not to pre- fer my company tonight,” this last to Phyllis, who sweetly said:- — “Theobald couldn’t possibly tell you in words simple enough for you to understand, what ‘garbling’ means. Good-night.” Tom sauntered slowly to the sidewalk, then turned and called: “Oh, Phyl, are you going to the dance with me tomorrow night?” “Oh, no, Theobald is going to read me some more of his poetry, so I’m not going with you.” With an exclamation that sounded very like something it ought not to, Tom turned on his heel and strode away. As he came near another house, with a crowd of young people on the porch, he was hailed gaily, and invited to join their number. “Going to the dance with Phyl, I suppose?” inquired a fat boy between mouthfuls of sand- wich. “No,—that simple-minded poetry-writing bird is going to entertain her with more of his crazy stuff, so Phyl has just given me to under- stand.” Tom kicked at a chair and accepted a lettuce sandwich and a glass of punch with a mixed air of melancholy, bitterness, and relish. The punch was really very good. “Oh, Tom, will you take my cousin to the dance, then? She is not coming until tomor- row, and the other boys have already invited girls to go with them. I didn’t know what to do about Gloria—I found she was coming just this morning. But now you can take her— please?” The young hostess’ pleading voice made Tom look up from his plate and ask:— “Is she pretty—dance good?” “My, oh my, just wait till you see her! You will have no eyes for Phyllis after you meet Gloria!” Tom, though unconvinced, agreed to escort the unknown. The next evening at quarter past eight he was introduced to a vision in jade green— though it might have been indigo blue calico, for all Tom knew. He was looking into her wonderful eyes. Gloria was the sort of girl whose appearance hits a man right in the eye, and as Tom was a susceptible young male, she easily captured his heart. Funny, he had never cared for blondes before—and yet—oh, well, he’d show Phyllis she wasn’t the only girl on earth! On the Parkers’ front porch that night, Phyl- lis sat listening to Theobald’s poetry, which was even worse than usual, the first hour with adoration, diminishing slowly to resignation, and half an hour after that, from resignation to boredom, with, strange to say, a desire to scream. Why couldn’t she keep her mind off that dance? Tom was dancing with that other girl now,—all right, let him! Of course the bunch had had to take care to let her know he was going with Mae’s cousin from New York. Catty things! Well, if Tom wanted to be spite- ful—it wasn’t her fault he didn’t appreciate Theobald’s verse. A voice was saying:— “Do you think it would be better to say ‘grass-yellow’ instead of ‘grass-green under (Continued on Page 173.) 160 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Hand of Fate John E. Pierce, 1927 Jean Paladivian, do pen this in the cell of the condemned of the city of Pulboia in the country of La- tavia, on the last day of June 17—. I have been in this hole for three days now, and tomorrow I am to die. I care naught for that, I am an old man and death is not far distant, it is the charge they have against me that is torturing me. They accuse me, Jean Paladivian, of mur- during my dearest friend! I am charged of foully murduring Galevian, my lifelong com- rade and companion! Galevian, who has shared all with me, and I with him. He, with whom I have played, quarreled, drunk, slept, loved and lived. He, whom I love more than existence itself. He, who would sacrifice him- self a score of times rather than witness a misfortune befall me. He, in whom I have confided all my troubles and cares, who was the last man on earth against whom I would raise my hand, and they say I killed him. Killed! Galevian! with his great heart, who on account of his being five years my senior, regarded me as a younger brother and loved me as such. Nay! he loved me as a mother loves her first-born. Nothing was too good for me when it came from his generous hands. No sacrifice on my account was too great for him to perform if it gave me new pleasures. 1 have no father nor mother, but he was both to me. Now he is dead, and I am brought to ac- count for his death. Oh! that I could prove to them my innocence! But what is an old man’s word against the mighty judges of La- tavia? My supplications avail me naught. My cries fall on deaf ears. When I attempted to flee from the clinging bonds of circumstance, they laughed in my face! May heaven re- ward the man who by kindly action relieved my wretched soul of its sorrowful burden, by giving me paper, ink, and pen with which to write the story of that which bears me down! I pour out my heart on this sheet that he who reads from curiosity may learn my agony of soul:— They found a knife beneath my floor, but who invited them to search my humble home? Surely it was he who committed the deed and placed the weapon there; directing the finger of guilt towards the helpless old man who called this house his home. What evil influence prompted the murderer to choose my humble dwelling and to fasten the hood of guilt over my defensless head? Oh! that I were free to search and find the fiend who did this bloody deed. For my friend’s sake would I do this last great service. But no! fate wills otherwise. The object of man’s hate and loathing, I must die. Eyes are turned toward me full of contempt and scorn; devoid of pity. God has seen all, and he knows that it is an innocent man who awaits the hangman’s noose, so in these last precious minutes I will speak to Him and He will tell Galevian all that has transpired. All will be well. Galevian will be waiting for his friend, with a loving smile on his wrinkled face. Once again I will feel his embrace, and love him the more on this account. The light is fading now, I can see to write no more. I freely forgive those who condemn me, for justice is often blind. I meet death with a smile upon my face. Soon I shall be once more with Galevian, my friend. John Paladivian. THE TRIALS OF A JUNIOR—STAIRS A Junior’s troubles begin as soon as the 8.15 beli rings. Three flights of stairs to climb! of course. No wonder Junior girls are thin; it’s the best method for reducing, far better than a diet or by rolling on the floor. If only there were an elevator! Wouldn’t that be fine? I’m sure that there would never be any tardy Juniors. We have to leave home five minutes earlier in order to reach our home-rooms on time—running up those stairs at that. During our Sophomore year those stairs are like a golden ladder leading to success and the Junior year, but when you have once at- tained that ambition you then desire to be a Senior. Not next year, but now—no stairs to climb. “No stairs to climb,—no stairs to climb” will be sung by Juniors all next sum- mer, referring to the coming year. Lunch period! again those horrid stairs; by the time you’ve walked down one flight, run down the next, and jumped every three steps on the last, the lunch counter is swept clean by Seniors who have only to step from their home rooms into it, or by the Baby Sophs, who arrive early via the bannister. Up we go again, holding the bannister for support. It’s always our luck to go to a room, down three flights, for the first, third and fifth periods,, and by the time we reach our rooms we’re so exhausted we can’t recite until it’s time to leave. Laziness, you say? It simply does not exist in Juniors—it’s a pain in the legs from continually climbing stairs. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 161 Lust Edith Foy, ’26 ROM the precipice the landscape was strikingly beautiful. Far be- low the river wound like a gor- geous golden ribbon in the sun- light. The dazzling white sand on the opposite shore con- trasted with the deep green of the over- hanging pines. Above, the purple mountain peaks lost themselves in the feathery clouds that hung low in the sky. Far in the distance was a small village that seemed more fairy-like than real, with its tiny white spires mid toy houses. All this might have been a fairyland of peace and beauty, had not some crude, enterprising mortal seen fit to mar its perfection by building there a large, sordid paper mill. As we looked down we saw a great, florid, brute-like man come out the side door of the mill. His face was wrathful. He paused on the first step and turning suddenly, struck the little man who had followed him out. The smaller man reeled. Then even above the whir of the mill we could hear the great man's thundering voice. He cursed the little man in a mad frenzy that seemed almost insane. “You! you!” he roared, “you made me lose my precious gold!” The little man trembled and turned a plead- ing face toward his accuser. His voice was so low we could not hear his words, but we did not need to hear. One needed no words to realize that the little man was no villainous character. Honesty and servility were written on his thin, lined face. And what was more, we knew the reputation of the great man. For every fat gold piece that filled his sleek pocket- book, a man, woman or child had given a drop of heart’s blood. He had not a friend in the world, unless it was, perhaps, the great Collie that had followed him quietly about since the recent death of his one small daughter. It was whispered, though never proved, that even her death----- We looked down again in surprise. The little man suddenly had become a demon. “You beast! You devil! You slave-driver!” he cried furiously, “your lust killed your wife, your daughter and has sucked the life blood from hundreds more! But it won’t kill me! not me—do you hear?” The great man’s face became purple. His eyes dilated and his mighty chest heaved. One great fist shot out. The little man crumpled up and lay senseless. With a hideous shrug of satisfaction the great man turned and went down to his car. But before he had time to even step into it, we- saw a great yellow flash that was the Collie leap from the door down onto the brute man. “You, too?” he yelled, and reached for a heavy tire chain that lay before him. The dog instinctively retreated a pace or two, but he snarled and showed his teeth. “Oh, you would, would you? You devil, you!” With a mighty swing, the chain was brought down upon the head of the Collie. There was a low moan from the poor creature— that was all. We stood there, not even daring to move. With another curse the man started his car and drove out of the mill-yard onto the Shelr Road that stretched away to the town. But the tragedy had not yet had its climax. Even as we looked, the great man seemed to have had trouble with his wheel. The car jerked suddenly to the left—to the left and to eternity! We covered our eyes with our hands.. Later, as we trudged homeward, there was an awed silence between us—a silence that ex- pressed our thoughts more than many words, could have done. But in both our minds ran the verse, “The mills of God grind slowly-----” GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The Girls’ Debating Society held a debate with Medford Thursday, April 0. The subject was, “Resolved: That in the settling of interna- tional disputes, law can, and should be, sub- stituted for armed force.” The Somerville team composed of Beatrice Kenny, Evelyn Hutchin- son, Gladys Herderhurst, and Edith Desmond, alternate, upheld the affirmative side of the question. The team is to be commended on both argument and delivery. The decision of the judges was in favor of the affirmative side, giving Somerville her second victory of the year. 162 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1924 Thelma Moses and Dorothy Cushing are at- tending Leslie School.

SCHOOL RADIATOR CLASS MEETING ROYS’ ASSEMBLY The Junior Class held its second class meet- ing on Tuesday, March 24, 1925, during the as- sembly period. The president, George Shaw, conducted the meeting. Anna Sandstrom, the secretary, read the report of the last meeting. The treasurer, Daniel Cotter, then read his re- port. We were glad to learn that we have so much money in the treasury. Miss Bell spoke about Junior Night. The talk was very interesting, and we hope the Juniors will remember all Miss Bell said. Mr. Avery gave us a few words before the meeting adjourned. The boys of the Tech course assembled in the hail March 24, 1925, and enjoyed two very interesting talks given by two graduates of the Somerville High School. Mr. William Robinson, a graduate in 1920, gave a very helpful talk relative to courses and equipment offered by the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology to students who en- roll there. Mr. Robinson also pointed out the fact that the social life at “M. I. T.” is not dead but is much alive and offers a full pro- gram to all. Mr. Frank Crandall, a graduate in 1922, of- fered encouragement to all who are preparing to go to “Tech.” He emphasized the fact that if you did not at first succeed in entering the school, you could try again. Mr. Crandall also brought out the fact that “M. I. T.” has many sports, such as any red-blooded young man would like to participate in, baseball and row- ing being the foremost. THE SPANISH CLUB. The Spanish Club is pleased that so many Juniors have enrolled as members this year, since they are the ones who will carry on the work next year. Two of the officers in the club are Juniors: Joseph Gough, vice-president, and Richard Ballard, secretary. In the Span- ish play all except one of the cast were Juniors. Ruth Covert, Secretary. According to a plan suggested by our presi- dent, George Shaw, in the second assembly of the Junior class held in the hall on March 24, the boys on the following day were as- sembled to discuss and act upon a rather novel idea, which has not up to date been presented to the school at large. The boys of the Junior class at this time wish to say, before they submit their idea to your critical and discerning inspection, that in this assembly the entire meeting was con- ducted in an orderly and business-like manner without the supervision of the faculty. The meeting opened with the president in charge. He at once set forth the suggestion. We cannot say who the originator is, but then we hear small whispers and gossip to the effect that one of the fellows in Room 321, we think his name is Morris Bender, is its author. The suggestion that we, the boys of the class of 1926, challenge in due form the boys of the Senior class of 1925 to a track meet to be held at Dilboy Field in the very near future, met the instant unanimous approval of all present. A committee to draw up the challenge, set the date and attend to other sundry affairs was nominated from the floor and voted upon. The result was as follows: Morris Bender, Law- rence Butters, James Ford and Eric Johnson. The meet will be under the supervision of our coach, “Dutch” Ayers, and according to present plans the usual track events will be staged. It seems to us boys that a thing of this sort, which has never before to our knowledge been held in Somerville High School, will receive the utmost approval and support from the re- mainder of the class. Aside from the novelty of the affair, we might also say that we have a very large share of the Somerville High School track men in our class, so we warn you. Seniors, beware! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 Francis McCarthy “.MOTHER SPRING” In April, lovely Spring will start To do her yearly sowing. In each nook she tries her art, For every plant she does her part To show its beauty growing. Soon we see her baby buds On lilac or syringa. Gently with soft fairy thuds, They break through from dormant studs. But “Mother Spring” can’t linger. First she’s here, then she’s there, Calling, softly calling, “Wake, my children, come where Soothing breezes fill the air And warm rains are falling.” Spring works hard with every one, She is a flower drummer: She sells her blooms to Father Sun ’ And when at last her work is done, We find ’tis gentle summer. Frances Phillips, 1925. THOUGHTS IN PASSING Just as our day’s work is done, We sit and watch the setting sun; As it dips beyond a distant hill, There comes a silence; all is still. But with the morning comes the light, And a world of beauty meets our sight; And so the days go one by one, Until the last of our work is done. Janie A. Price, 1926. DAILY KINDNESS Be a little kinder daily Than you are required to be Is a good rule, shall we make it Ours, for everyone to see? Sometimes when we make this effort To be kind to friend and foe, We shall fail, but let us ever Try again, as on we go. Janie A. Price, 1926. CALLING Calling—calling—calling! About me is the joy of returning life. The very air is sweet! Spring is laughing. And there’s a golden ripple in her voice. And at my feet Violets grow. Even the trees are decking themselves In darling new green gowns! Spring is flaunting All her new-discovered, bewitching charms And her taunting Sweet memories. And the ripples of the deep blue lake Dance to the wondrous tune My heartstrings feign Though they seem to play all in vain, for you Come not again.. Nor hear me! Calling—calling—calling! Cannot you hear? I care not for the glorious world, Only you. Why don’t you come? Beatrice 0. Bates, 1926. THE VALLEY From the eastern hills the first flush of dawn: Bursts, and breaks forth into a glorious morn; The green stretch of woodland in the valley below Awakens with twitterings of birds on the bough; And the sparkling stream winds its way through the trees, Laughs, and ripples in the cool morning breeze. Rolling off to the north, the dew-silvered plain Stops at the mountains, as the trees begin again Climbing the heights to the cloudless blue sky, Stern sentinels of Nature, they thus stand on high Guarding this valley, so beautiful, so fair, Heaven must have fallen and nestled there. Francis McCarthy, 1926. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 166 FLOTSAM By Charles R. Brunelle ( Special Student) It was so cold that night. The deserted street Was filled with frozen slush and crusted snow— We built a fire against the biting sleet And huddled through the hours above its glow. Dear God, but it was bitter. The piercing wind Mad from the ugly river, wildly swept Clutching sharp fingers round us. We were blind: Our souls were torn to shreds; and one man wept. And then, after long time, the gray dawn came And it was worse than dark: a sullen gray That laughed at us, and passed, and left us there Fearing the day: There was one who cursed a Name And Christian virtues; one bowed head to pray; One whistled, walking off for “Anywhere.” THE SPANISH PLAY The Spanish Club, assisted by the Mandolin Club, gave an entertainment and play, “La Sorpresa de Isidora,” on April 2. A Spanish dance was given by Grace Sullivan. Catherine Corbett danced the “Spanish Torea- dor Dance.” J. Alden Edkins sang “Mi Nina. ’ A synopsis of the play was given in English by Gladys Herderhurst. The cast included the following:— El Doctor Cerebian .........Joseph Thornton Susana, his wife.................Marion Rich Dona Remedios, Susana’s mother Edith Gustafson Juanita, the maid...........Cecelia Viveiros Isidora, a friend of the doctor.Joseph Gough NOTICE. May 5th an interesting play is to be given by pupils of the school, in regular school hours. It is to be repeated in the evening of the same date. An invitation is extended to parents and their friends to attend, as guests of the school. Quoth the Junior: “In the poem the poet chooses a beautiful site (meaning sight) in the country!” Commented another Junior (reading the paper) : “Say, I thought this was a poet and not an architect!” NOTES OF THE ALUMNI (Continued from Page 1G2.) 1921 Mona Burke graduated from Boston Univer- sity, School of Practical Arts and Letters, is now teaching at the Northeastern Junior High School, Somerville. 1920 Philip L.

Come and keep up your splendid loyalty! Myrtle Powers, Secretary. SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR 167 1925 Thomas J. Kennedy—Editor David Warsowe—Assistant Editor A change has been made in the Traffic Squad. A number of Senior members have been re- placed by Sophomores. This plan is to train the squad of ’26 and ’27. The retired members did excellent work and we hope their suc- cessors will keep up the good work. We have been formally notified of the advent of Spring. The Fife and Drum Squad were the heralds of the fact. Section III-A has recently had some excel- lent physical facial exercise in the general re- view of enunciating French sounds. There was one particular lunch period this quarter during which the girls in 114 were very quiet. A test on all the periods of Eng- lish literature was due the fifth period—which explains the strange condition. Cadmus, the pet mouse of Room 111, has not appeared since the day when he made his debut during the physical training period. It is feared that he has been poise-nd. Miss B—(drilling her class in subjunctive): “If I said, ‘Stoodley would stop whispering if I made him stay after school,’ what kind of con- dition would that be?” Voice from rear: “Contrary to fact.” The last quarter for the Seniors in the Som- erville High School has already dawned. Let us make a good impression upon our successors by making the last quarter the best. We wonder how long it will be before the school motto, “Honor and Progress,” will t e printed in full on the blackboard of 202. After many starts and several finishes, it seems now that its completion is well under way. The exchange of pictures is fast becoming a part of everyone’s daily program as the results of the photographer’s efforts to make everyone resemble a rare beauty come pouring into school. The Seniors ought to set an example W the .rest of the school by buying season tickets and attending the games this baseball season. The many preparations for Class Day and the exchange of photographs tend to make us realize that only a small amount of time re- mains for accomplishing our year’s work. Heard in III-A: “Your tongue is not back in your mouth, up there near Rusden.” The letter-men had an opportunity of seeing moving pictures shown by a new projecting ma- chine bought by the school for educational pur- poses. The pictures were well received. “What were the main elements against Cleveland in his second administration?” “Opposition.” Judging from the number of pledges to buy season tickets, this season in baseball should be a great success. Mr. McV------’s advice to the Senior girls: “When you take the men, hold on.” 168 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Helen Gordon—Assistant Editor We wish to thank every one who helped to make this issue a success, and for the co- operation which you Juniors displayed in back- ing up the editors. Many thanks also to Miss Gatchell and the other teachers who so kindly aided us in our work. The observant Junior discovered one day that Niagara F'alls from the wall in Room 313. (If you fail to see a joke in your midst, Cole- man or Merry will tell you all about it.) Soph.: “He threw it and it landed on the hips of one of the horses.” Jimmy C.: “Humph, those Sophs haven’t any horse sense!” Occasionally we make you laugh, but now we must teli a sad, sad tale. The other night Todson worked over some difficult algebra till midnight. Then to cheer his weary spirits he built a fire in the fireplace, throwing in all the scrap paper on the table. The sad part, did you ask? Here it is—he burned his algebra paper! Professor Witty: “Haste makes waste, so don’t waste in haste!” Stout pupil on a diet: “Humph, wish I could.” Hanna and Finn are trying to break into vaudeville. See them exhibit dancing almost any time in Room 305. Rufus (in 313): “Hark! Nineteenth of April celebrations!” Brodil: “Don’t get excited, that is merely Kearns testing out the sink!” A little Junior: “Papa, if a little Spanish boy had the same name as his father would they call him Junior?” Photographer, taking picture for this issue: “Don’t scowl, Eldridge.” A la Suzanne: “Now the days are getting longer, My tennis is getting stronger.” Berry: “Do you believe in signs, Dick?” Williams: “No, why?” Berry: “Here’s a notice from Miss— telling you to report after school.” Now that we have a Junior Night Committee, the next thing is to have a committee to keep a stag line from forming. Edith: “Have you ever been in a parade, my dear?” Louise: “Yes, the Easter parade!” A Junior was recently found weeping. “Beauty is not even skin deep nowadays,” he sobbed as he pointed to a girl who was powder- ing her nose. The grand prize of “one without” is to be awarded to the Junior writing the best essay on “Why I Have to Browse Within Pages Writ- ten by Marcus Tullius Cicero.” All essays must be in before Cicero makes his next speech. Kind Lady to Little Boy: “Are you in the Junior High School?” Little Boy, cum dignitate: “No, I’m a Junior in High School.” Teacher (in French class): “Sometimes these verbs have an acute accent over the first ‘E’—• Now, when does this occur?” Pupil, brightly: “Sometimes!” Some one lent Don Hurd a ring the other day. Don desired to know whether or not it was gold, so he dropped it into a test tube of aqua regia. “The sad part of it is,” weeps Don to the reporter, “that it was gold!” Professor: “A fool can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer.” Student: “That’s why so manv of us flunk, sir!” Burbank on T. S.: “All right there—no talk- ing.” Say what you mean, young man, ’twas all wrong! Miller: “Say, Finn, lend me a dime, will you ?” Finn: “Sorry, old top, I’m broke—just paid my chemistry bill!” “Chivalry,” sighed a romantic young Miss, “is dead!” Just then she slipped on the stairs and a young man saved her from a horrible fate! It seems that all Juniors have ambitions, so the observant Junior sharpened a pencil, bor- rowed a piece of “block paper” and interviewed a few:— Janie Price, to stay on Senior floor at lunch time. Irving Peters, to be rid of his permanent wave. “Bud” Fusher, to uphold his reputation in French. Anna Sandstrom, to have an hour for drill. Edith Foy, to be first in line in the lunch room. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 169 Louise Caswell, to be seen with the other two. But, though we must have our little jokes, there are a good many Juniors with high am- bitions. Future doctors, lawyers, merchants and chiefs are in our midst, as well as future poets, writers, artists, nurses and teachers.

This column of Sophomore notes nearly became extinct through lack of support by our class.

Sophomore: “I know a fellow so mean that he would not pay his class dues!” Junior: “That is nothing—I know a Scotch- man so mean that he talks through his nose to save the wear and tear on his false teeth!” We hope no one mistakes the “Entree” on Miss Brown’s door for a food advertisement!

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 171 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT “The Old Ladies,” by Hugh Walpole, is a short, absorbing drama of the experiences of three poverty-stricken old ladies, who live on the top floor of an old creaky house in Pon- tippy Square, in Polchester. The three ladies, May Berringer, Lucy Amorest and Agatha Payne, and their doings and surroundings cause a shiver now and then and make an altogether readable story. The author’s portrayal of the characters seems very realistic. A twelve-year-old girl gave it as her opinion that “The Old Ladies” was a “corking story,” and many will be inclined to agree with her after reading it. Amy Lowell has just published a biography of John Keats in two volumes. Miss Lowell has put much time and study into this last work of hers, and she has produced a truly re- markable study of this widely known poet. John Masefield’s recent novel. “Sard Harker,” is an interesting story of the chief mate of the “Pathfinder,” a famous sugar clip- per. “Sard Harker” is a strong, lean, sardonic man, his nickname being derived from the lat- ter characteristic, and his adventures in Santa Barbara, of Central America, hold the interest of the reader to the very end. As we read more of Sard he wins our admiration and we agree he is truly a hero. The following inci- dent is characteristic of him:— “Sard went on with his humming, but kept an eye lifting lest some other waif of the night should come. Sumecta took a half-step nearer. “ ‘For two pins,’ he said, ‘I’d bash your face in.’ “Sard went on humming, but drew two pins from the lapel of his coat and offered them.” Harker has a strange, mysterious devotion to an unknown woman and while he is at anchor in Las Palomas, near Santa Barbara, he has a dream which bids him search for the lady of his affections. He leaves the ship and after twenty strenuous days emerges at last, a proven hero and lover. Of course there is a villain, and he is all a villain should and could be, and plays a very important part. One writer says: “Mr. Mase- field’s knowledge of the sea, his talent for swift, telling description, and above all his imagina- tion, have never been more generously em- ployed than in his novel, ‘Sard Harker.’ ” A Monologue Scene: Any school room. Time: Any school hour. Johnny (innocently): “Oh, no, I didn’t do anything! . . . Tonight? ... I can’t say, I have to go to the dentist’s!” “Even the mighty must succumb!” thun- dered the great orator as he sneezed violently. No answer is a good answer—outside of school! Somehow those old philosophies do not fit the case, do they? 172 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ATHLETICS SOMERVILLE WINS FIRST GAME Somerville High defeated Revere High in the opening game of the season, on April 10, by a score of 19-7. McFayden started in the box for Somerville and surely did his work. He pitched four in- nings and in the last two he hardly more than tossed the ball. Coyne, the pitcher of Revere, was weak and passed many. Turco, who succeeded him, did much better. The game was very one sided and Coach Ayer was able to use many subs. Curtin proved himself able to control the ball. Captain Hogan did good work in the box and if he could have straightened out his hits he certainly would have covered all the bases.

Lillian also made a basket and another free throw. SOMERVILLE IS WINNER AGAIN In a game at the Bingham School March 25 Somerville drowned out Girls’ High by a score of 52-6.

Phyllis stopped her angry meditations. “No!” she said, startling Theobald Breck- inridge so that he dropped the poems. “No! whoever heard of yellow grass? and my name is just plain Phyl Parker!” “But,” answered the bewildered youth, “you said you thought Phylladia was more poetic than Phyllis, and ‘yellow grass’ is poetic li- cense.” “I don’t know a thing about poetic license, and I don’t believe you do, either, so there! And you have got to take me to that dance at the country club. I’ll drive us over in the car. Go home and put on some decently pressed clothes, and I’ll change while you are gone.” This from the girl who had so adored him, and said his rather weedy-looking garments were “so different looking”—which they certainly were. “The aesthetically-minded do not think of such mundane things as creased trousers, and their thoughts are above the matter of neck- ties and socks matching,” Theobald informed the girl with dignity. “And, besides, I cannot dance, you know.” “Well, I can’t go without an escort, so hurry; be back here by 10 o’clock. Any woman would know that the cause of Phyllis’ sudden change of mind and attitude was due to the fact that, although she wouldn’t admit the truth even to herself, she was slightly jealous. She had seen Gloria that morning, and had noticed her stylish appear- ance and exceptionally pretty face. Theobald, knowing nothing of the machinations of the feminine mind, was greatly puzzled, but duti- fully donned his best suit, which didn’t look quite so bad as the one he had had on, and re- turned to the impatient girl who had wor- shiped him last evening, and scolded him to- night. When they arrived at the clubhouse, the dance was in full swing. Phyllis caught a glimpse of Tom and that girl dancing, and scolded herself for being angry. “You must dance with me,” she said to Theo- bald. “Put your arm around my waist like this—. For goodness’ sake, why is he blush- ing?” she added to herself. “Now, one, two, three, four—turn, silly—slide this way—now back, now around—don’t pump your arm up and down like that—and my slippers are new!” Theobald wondered what new slippers had to do with gyrating around like a windmill with an indecisive mind, but he patiently did what he was told. When the music had stopped he was in a perspiration, and Phyllis was be- tween tears and laughter at his blundering actions. She hoped Tom would ask her to dance, but when he wasn’t dancing with Gloria, he was standing with the stags near the door. Al- though she danced with all her friends, she was strangely unhappy. Suddenly she decided to 174 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR go home, and slipped out of the room without letting Theobald know her intention. “Let him walk home, I don’t care,” she toio herself. A moment later there was the sound of a motor being started, and Tom, who had secretly been following Phyllis with his eyes for the last three dances, and had seen her go- ing out, rushed after her, and was just in time to see the car disappearing around a curve of the drive. He jumped into his rickety Ford “bug” and prepared to follow to the ends of the earth, or at least till his gas gave out. He tooted his horn madly, and Phyllis, although she did not turn her head, knew who was be- hind her by the sound of it. So many times it had called her out to Tom, waiting at the curb in the fashion of the younger generation, instead of coming to the door to get her. She stepped hard on the accelerator, and kept her eyes on the road ahead, while her thoughts rushed through her head as the pupils of the “U” that she and Tom attended rushed to the lunch room at noon. Her eyes filled with tears, and she barely avoided run- ning into a boulder that some careless work- men, excavating for a house, had rolled to the road side. Tom, frightened at seeing her so barely es- cape a smash-up, ran into it himself. Phyllis heard a horrible sound like two armored men waltzing on a floor of tin and rock—only that would not have had the same effect on her as this did. She stopped her car and looked back. Tom had been very close behind her, and she had not far to look. What she saw made her heart hit the roof of her mouth. With a cry she jumped out of her car and ran back down the road to where Tom was lying, and bent over him. He fortunately had been thrown clear of the bug into the middle of the road, but he was unconscious and his arms were queerly twisted and one leg looked rather queer, she thought. Phyllis couldn’t think of anything to do to revive him, as first aid had not been part of her education. She ran to her car and drove it back to Tom. It was going to be a difficult matter to get him into the tonneau, and she wrinkled her brow thoughtfully. Then she decided it would be better to go back to the clubhouse and get a doctor from the crowd of guests—surely there would be a doctor there. Throwing a robe over Tom, after she had, she didn’t know how, dragged him to the side of the road where nothing could harm him, she whizzed back to the Country Club. There she succeeded in separating her own family doctor from the crowd and commanded him to follow her. “But—,” began the doctor. “You come with me. There is a patient waiting for you down the road.” The doctor got his bag that he always car- ried with him, from the coat room, and they sped to where the unfortunate Tom was lying. His eyes were open, and he said rather faintly:— “Well, have you come at last to rescue me from my unhappy resting place? Theobald wouldn't say it quite that way!” he added rather bitterly. “Oh, Tom, dear, I was a fool about that boy. Will you ever forgive me?” “You bet I will—it was all that old goof’s fault, anyway.” A twinge of pain passed over his face and he said:— “Hello, that you, Doc? Guess you’d better get busy—I feel kind of queer—gee, but I’m some baby!” he finished in what was meant to be a tone of contempt for his weakness, but which trailed off most alarmingly into a whisper. Phyllis burst into tears. The doctor said: “I’ll have to take him to the hospital right away. You drive back and tele- phone the hospital that I want them to get a room ready, and for them to be ready to help me set a couple of broken arms and a leg—also fix up minor injuries. These young fellows— but this is no time for me to dilate on their sins—get back as soon as you can with my car.” The next day, as Phyllis was just about to step into Mrs. Holmes’s automobile to go with her to see Tom at the hospital, Theobald walked up and handed her a paper. She took it and stuffed it into her hand-bag. Theobald didn’t even ask her where she had disappeared to last evening, she thought. Oh, well, he was like that, and besides—anyway, nothing mat- tered now except Tom. As she sat beside the narrow bed, and Tom’s mother was conferring with the nurse, she was suddenly reminded of the paper in her bag by the invalid’s inquiry:— “And how is our Theobald?” “Here is my last message from him. He just handed it to me and walked off.” “That suits me, all right,” broke in Tom. Phyllis blushed. She looked at him severely, and said: “Oh, it’s poetry—shall I read it?” “Do,” answered the young man, not very pleadingly, however. (Continued on Page 176.)

Poston Courtesy of Poston Transcript AMY LOWELL Our poor words cannot hope to show what the loss of Amy Lowell, who passed away at her home in Brookline late Tuesday afternoon. May 12, after having been ill about a month, means to the country and to the world. Already internationally famous as essayist, poet, and critic, she published last February a “Life of John Keats.” This was im- mediately recognized as a model for biographers, and will stand as a fitting monument to her literary career. Contrary to general opinion, Miss Lowell wrote more metrical than free verse. Notwithstanding this, she has become a foremost figure in the so-called “new-poetry movement.” Her poetry is in- teresting, colorful, and strong. The Poetry Club has found the study of her life and her work delightful and inspiring, and feels in her death an inestimable loss Contents Table of FRONTISPIECE .............................. 184 EDITORIALS ................................ 18G “THE ECHO,” Nina U.

Who can recall such a galaxy of high school stars as “Danny” MacFayden, “Gimpty” Hogan, “Tom” Griffin, Walter Kel- son and Haskell Billings on one team? At their best they look invincible. “Danny” is one high school pitcher in a thousand, and he also hits high and far. “Gimpty’s” thump- ing ability need not be advertised here. Just ask the Suburban League pitchers how they like to face him. He is also a very fast man for his size, covers lots of ground in the outfield, and the Boston Post calls him the best pitcher in the Suburban League, with the exception of our own “Danny.” As we go to press, “Tom” Griffin has a batting average of over 500! That speaks for itself. “Tommy” hits them hard and on a line, and those who saw the Medford game will vouch for his throwing arm. “Kel,” at first base, has all the finesse of a big leaguer and is a flash on the bases, and Haskell, our bespectacled, iron-armed third-sacker, is playing his usual reliable game. “Pat” McCahey, in right, fields his posi- tion well and inserts his share of base hits. Our only weak spot from the standpoint of a minute critic is around the keystone sack. Eannon, McAuliffe, Sullivan and Watson all field well enough, but are a trifle weak with the stick. Behind the bat we have “Tall Tom” McGovern and “Toots” Leary, both distance hitters. As substitutes and utility men we have “Home-run” Baker, “Tacks” Crosby, ■“Roddy” Aylesbury and “Barney” Curtin, a southpaw slinger. There is our team, the thrice-crowned champions of the league, and it is a well-oiled, smoothly-running combination. Right here while doting on the team, let us not forget “Dutch” Ayer, “the man behind the guns,” and give him a great share of the credit for the production of such teams as he is turn- ing out for us. Now we come to the sad and unexplainable thing, an amazing fact—the student body does not turn out and support the nine as it ought. We should like to know the reason. Why not support this team of all teams? All solutions of this puzzle will be gladly accepted. Mr. Pearson has explained the condition of the athletic association treasury to us before. The future of Somerville High School athletics rests with us. We present this as a plea for your support of your team. Please take it to heart. At the April meeting of the School Commit- tee it was voted to award one point towards graduation from the High School to partici- pants in baseball or football, this action to go into effect in September. We are the first school in the state to adopt this system, and will undoubtedly lead the way for other cities and towns, as it is a real ad- vancement. By this system it is not necessary to win a letter to win a point. Faithful, regular attend- ance at practice, and improvement shown, are the requisites for its award, and in every case the physical training department is to be the judge. That is the crowning feature of the plan. There has been a need of some re- ward for a long time, especially to the second team players. Faithful at practice, they try just as hard as the regular team, but get little recognition and miss the spirited encourage- ment of the crowd which the first team re- ceives. Even the most enthusiastic lover of baseball and football becomes a little weary occasionally after being pummelled on the gridiron by the first team, day after day, or after chasing long flies under the hot sun from another fellow’s bat. This system should greatly stimulate them and enlarge participation in school athletics. (Continued on Page 192) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1ST The Echo Mina U. Haas, 1925 IT was a day in January and the ground was covered with a sheet of snow and the sky was strewn with white clouds. A chilling northeast wind was blowing the leafless trees to and fro. On the steps of the Mt. Sunnet High School stood a boy of about five years. He was evidently waiting for someone, for every once in a while he walked to the door and looked in. At last the door opened and a young man came out with his books under his arm. He was tall and very manly in stature, and his face wore an expression of sadness mingled with deep thought. “Teacher kept ya after school again, didn’t she?” said the younger boy. “I’d like to tell that teacher what I think of her.” Buddy, the younger of the two, was the image of his older brother John. Never had Buddy failed to meet John, unless he was ill and unable to come. He would wait until his brother appeared, no matter how late he was. Buddy looked up to his brother with great respect, and his main ambition was to be just like John. There were perhaps two reasons for this: First, that he had no older man to look up to; second, that his brother had con- fided in him, as he was the only one that would listen to his tales of his imaginary future. On the way home Buddy did most of the talking. With childish glee he was bubbling over to tell John of all the happenings of the day. He told him how the chickens got out into the front yard and how he had to chase them in again; how Rex had brought an old bone home and buried it. How much John heard could not be told, as he answered the questions only after they were asked three or four times. The two turned down a driveway and soon they were mounting the back steps of their home. It was nothing out of the ordinary to see John coming home from school at this hour, in fact it was quite a usual occurrence. He was far from being the teacher’s pet, and by the looks of his report card not a very good student. John was one of those peculiar char- acters who was not very popular and had no particular friend, as most boys have. He de- spised his school work and was always plan- ning something great. His mother was a woman who always looked forward, and her main ambition was to educate her two boys. John worked out of school in a grocery store. He had worked in other places, but his dreamy manner of doing things did not impress his employers, and he drifted listlessly from one position to another. The evening passed the same as usual, night wore away, and the morning dawned. It was late when John arose, and he hurriedly took his books and ran to school. It was a very beautiful winter’s morning. Although it was cold outside, it was very warm and comfortable inside, and John was glad to get into the warm building. It was an impor- tant day for the pupils of Mt. Sunnet High School, for it was the day Mr. Franklin was to present his gift of money for the building of a new auditorium. All the pupils were to be excused from classes and be permitted to go to the assembly. There was to be a program first and then the presentation. Mt. Sunnet High School was a very large school, as it served as the highest school cf education for three towns. The school, which consisted of two buildings about five feet apart and connected with an annex, was situ- ated on the top of Mt. Sunnet, above all the other buildings. The school was very old and had no up-to-date improvements. The walls were of old wood and were very thin. Because of the large number of pupils, the only space that was not partitioned off and used as a classroom was the room on the fourth floor of the main building. The room was large enough to accommodate all the pupils in case such a rare thing as an assembly should occur. There were a great many chattering stu- dents entering this hall. It was hard to tell whether they were glad to be excused from their studies or whether they were glad to get a new auditorium. As the principal of the school rose, the noise ceased and he began to explain the reason for the assembly. After he had finished, he announced the program, and soon the interest of all was on the play, which was given at the request of .Mr. Frank- lin. By the door sat John and one of his class- mates. He was so deeply interested in the play that it was almost impossible to attract his attention. After the play Mr. Franklin 188 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR was introduced and great applause greeted him. One of the teachers tip-toed to the back of the room and suggested that the door be opened to allow ventilation. John jumped up and pushed open the big door. As he opened it, a great blast, as from a furnace, swept in. The flames were leaping in at the door and there was no possible chance of escape. To get to the fire escape the hall had to be crossed. How were the pupils to cross in the flames? How could they get them to safety without making them excited and panic- stricken? All these questions were going through John’s head, while the others at the door had become, for an instant, petrified with fright. Suddenly an idea came to John and he directed those at the door to say nothing but help him. Unwillingly the teacher followed the two boys to the corner of the room. At this instant a great noise was heard and John was seen violently striking the wall with an ax that he had taken from the emergency case on the wall. Immediately the pupils’ atten- tion was drawn to the back of the room, but before anyone had‘time to come and find out the reason for this interruption, John with his great strength was making a hole in the wall. It had all happened so suddenly that the actual danger the pupils were in was not realized until after it was all over. Two planks, which had been used for staging, lay on the floor at the back of the hall. In an instant John had placed the two planks from the open- ing he had just made to the window sill of the other building. He had to see that each pupil was safely across before the building burned. His classmate was the first to cross and break the window for entrance on the other side and then hurry to set in the alarm of fire. The time that followed was very exciting, and the scene was one that was stamped on the minds of ali that were present, to remain with them always. One by one the students filed across the planks, and one by one the burning building was emptied. At last all were safely across—but one. The planks were burning and one side of the floor had fallen. John’s face was seen in the window; then a great crash was heard and he disappeared. Sunday afternoon the bells in the church were tolling. The last time they had done this was when the great army officer, who had done so many brave deeds, was being buried. Why were they tolling now? Down the street came the procession. They were coming to lay John in his last resting place. The boy that had never been noticed before was getting the greatest honor that little town knew how to give, for he had given a priceless gift to his school, his life. That evening, as the moon rose in the heaven, a little boy stood by a newly-made grave. The tears were falling fast and the world was lost to his sight. The great deed John had done would soon be forgotten by the people, but Buddy’s great devotion to his brother had be- come a part of his very life. “Paper! paper! special evening paper. All about the great invention!” shouted a news- paper boy on the corner. It was twenty-five years since the old school building had burned, and a new one had been built in its place. In a little home at the end of a walk sat a man of about thirty years. With him sat three other gentlemen. “Well, you must be feeling pretty grand to- night,” said one of them, smiling at his host. “That invention has made you ‘the man of the hour’ all right, and you ought to be mighty proud of it.” “I don’t feel as if it were really mine,” an- swered the other thoughtfully. “Oh, no, I haven’t stolen anybody’s patent or anything” —as the other men looked up in surprise—“but the one to whom I owe it all is not here to share my pleasure tonight—though I like to think that perhaps he knows. Possibly you remember my older brother, John. A common- place fellow enough he seemed to others, ex- cept for the one fine moment of his life, when he saved the lives of the pupils of Mt. Sunnet High School and sacrificed his own. The John that people saw day by day was not the real John—the hero of the fire was. Outwardly he was the listless, ordinary, uninterested and un- interesting high school boy. but underneath burned the ‘divine fire’ of the dreamer, the idealist; and his constant dream was to be- come a great inventor. In the fervor of my childish devotion, as I stood by his grave, I re- solved that his dream should be fulfilled. With- out that inspiration, I should never have ac- complished what you are congratulating me for tonight.” His companions were silent for a moment. Yes, I remember John,” said one of them finally. “A commonplace fellow enough I thought him, as you say. I never suspected he had any ambition.” “ ‘A man is not a wall whose stones are crushed upon a road,’ ” quoted the other. “ ‘nor a pipe whose fragments are thrown away at a street corner.’ Ambition, idealism, those last after what we call the man is gone. ‘His soul goes marching on.’ ” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 189 The Legend of the Maumee Kathryn E. Heater, 1925 FTEN when visiting the spot made historic by the greatest Indian conference ever held upon this con- tinent, I have heard the weird tale I am going to relate. Fort Defiance is the birth- place of Pontiac and the stronghold whence Wayne hurled defiance to the Indians’ dreams and made it White Man’s land. On the banks of the Maumee grand old forests of oak and hickory rear their stately heads toward the canopy of blue. Winding down between the gently sloping hills, fringed with trees of Nature’s planting, the majestic river winds its way, seeking rest in the ocean’s bed. Calmly it glides, for here another stream, tired with its wanderings, begs relief, and the broader river, with never a murmur, kindly takes up the added burden at the foot of the now historic cliff and resumes its silent way. Soon it divides into channels that a little tree-crowned island may lend its charms to a scene that well might claim the attention of a Scott or Thoreau. It is wild in its grandeur and its beauty with only the feet of the red men to tread the pathless wilderness and listen to the music of the stream or watch the deer as they lift their heads in seeming thankfulness for the water gladly given. But time brings its changes. The river that furnished fish to the red men, the forests where their game was found, call to the white man in a language unknown to the savage. They heed its call and the rocky cliff becomes a vantage ground, while the sound of shot and shell echoes and re-echoes along the banks. No need of resistance. Civilization must have its way. One by one the pioneers came. Homes and firesides grew apace. Among the emigrants from an Eastern state came a family of wealth, culture and refine- ment. The picturesque beauty of the place held them. On a hill sloping to the water’s edge, from whose summit looking to the right they could see the union of the rivers, to the left the little island in its silent beauty, they chose their building place. Not the log hut of the pioneer, but a mansion of brick arose beneath the stately trees. Within its shelter father, mother and beautiful daughter dispensed with lavish hand the free gift of hospitality. None were too lowly to be welcomed; none too haughty to wish a welcome. The red man deemed it a delight to smoke the pipe of peace beneath that roof; while the white man with no less enjoyment told tales or listened to the music of the daugh- ter’s voice. Into that happy home came suitors many—the young surveyor, proud of his knowledge and position, esteemed by the par- ents, respected by the daughter; also the In- dian brave, gentle because of his friendship, feared by the parents, welcomed by the girl. Many the strolls by the riverside where pleasant conversations and silences still more eloquent told of hopes the white man held. Not less eloquently, while drifting down the river in the little canoe, watching the waters, yield- ing to the influence of Nature’s charms, did the red man tell his tale. The quiet, peaceful night of September 1, 1756, saw the little canoe at the foot of the hill. A vision of loveliness glided down the path in the pale moonlight, and Naomi entered the canoe and the voyage of her choice began. From a clump of alders near-by a shot rang out. It passed the body of the brave for whom it was intended and lifeless Naomi was held in her lover’s embrace. With grief too deep for utterance, silently he sent the little canoe to- wards the island where in the dark waters beneath the shade of the overhanging trees, maid and lover found a resting place. The once happy home is deserted. Only a wall and stairway remain to tell of former occupants, but if my “story be doubted, some first September night float down the placid Maumee, and just where the Auglaize empties its sheet of water, cast your anchor. Near the midnight hour a little canoe will float to its moorings at the base of the hill and Naomi and lover will view the old home, then floating down the river just as the clock strikes twelve, the burial scene is re-enacted and the waters, once more gliding on, tell no tales. 390 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Crazy Quilt Damon HofTses, 1926 N an auction room of the Custom House, in Boston, Joe Klien is selling to the usual auction room crowd. A1 Small is his assistant. “Five and who’ll say six—five dollars and—six is wanted, who’ll say it? Ladies and gentlemen, it is a crime to cry a bid of five dollars on this magnificent silk umbrella—five and—six! Six is bid! Gimme seven. Ladies and gentlemen, the meanest thieving pawnbroker in the city of Boston, if he had a heart of stone, would lend me nine on it! Seven is bid and who’ll say eight—eight! Eight! Going! Going! Third and last call— Sold! To the gentleman with the red nose. That is gone and now we’ll have the next, which will be something entirely different. Whew! “The next lot is a bed quilt, Joe,” says A1 Small, the assistant auctioneer, as he hands him the quilt. “Aha!” says Joe, “my next offering is a bed quilt. A real crazy quilt like our mothers used to make. I want you to particularly notice the workmanship of this quilt. All hand-made— feather-stitched seams—a work of art. I am going to leave this to your own judgment—you all know what bed quilts are, unless you are all cannibals.” “I 'gif you a tallar,” says Katz, who had been a strong bidder that afternoon. “A dollar!” says Klien. “Lord, man, that wouldn’t pay for the thread in this beautiful quilt. You will surely never die of enlarge- ment of the heart. Two is offered! Gimme five!” “Two-feefty!” says Katz, with a grin from one ear to the other. “I shouldn’t take a fifty-cent bid—but I will,” says Klien. “Now someone say five! Five! Five! And who’ll say it? Someone say five dollars and who will? I saw in the paper where they have caught the ‘Lone Wolf.’ They say people have been so frightened that they’ve been hiding their money in milk pitchers, chairs, beds, mattresses, quilts—three dollars am I offered— any advance?” “Three twenty-fife!” says Katz. “Twenty-five cent bid on a quilt that might have thousands of dollars hidden away in it. Who knows! Three fifty is bid. Give me four! Four! Three fifty is bid and four is wanted, four! Four! Four is wanted, who’ll say it? Who’ll say four! Four!” “Jus-ta-meenit — who vos de bidder?” asks Katz. “I’m not crying false bids up here,” says Klien. “It was that gentleman over there with the mustache—I saw him wriggle his ears. Four dollars I’m offered—who says five on a bed quilt that may be stuffed with green- backs?” “Fife tallars!” says Katz. “Five offered,” says Klien, “five once and five twice! Five dollars and—third and last call—anyone wanting a say, say now while the saying is good—Sold! To the Hebrew gentle- man.” “Do you tink dere’s monies in it?” asks Katz. “Who knows,” says Klien, “I once sold a desk with gold in it—it belonged to a chorus girl.” “I haff a mint to open it,” says Katz, as he pulls out a jack-knife and rips open the quilt. “Find anything?” asks Klien, grinning from one ear to the other? “I should giff a smile,” says Katz, peering under the cover. “What is it—money?” asks Klien, growing excited. “No! It’s a bug,” says Katz. “A bug! What, bed bug?” says Klien. “No! You bummer,” says Katz, throwing the quilt down and turning disgustedly toward the door, “it’s a hum bug.” if rank ICnm ilmtrs jFfbruarij 3. 11)118—fflau 3. 1823 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 191 Poetry Corner Dean C. Swan, Jr. Somerville High Schooi students are more interested in verse than ever! Each issue of this year’s Radiator has seen an increasing number of contributors to the Poetry Corner, and of late we have been able to print only a representative few of those submitted. In this, the closing issue of the Radiator, we wish to give expression to the hope that all those who have helped to make the past year’s Poetry Corner a success may continue to pen their verse, whether they are in Somerville High School, college, or are progressing by some other mode of travel along Life’s great high- way. MEMORIAL DAY POEM Today white flowers, like gleaming stars twinkling Forth from a sombre bed of blackest night, Are shining brightly where not so long ago The soldier, stricken by his fellow man. Fell in a bloody pool to breathe his last. Today the fleecy clouds in grandeur still Sweep by where once the screaming shells of death In fiendish glee their awful message bore. Today the sun shines bright and children play, Where only yesterday great armies passed In silence, awful silence, never to return. And yet today between those nodding flowers, Behind those fields where all is still and calm, A million fiery crosses row on row Are shining. A silent symbol of the past! And far beneath in quiet sleep of peace The gallant warriors, whose mighty arms The sword of right had raised, now ever lie, Those hearts no longer feel the pulse of life. Nor the ecstacy of love divine. Those eyes the dying sun no longer see, Nor the heaving sea upon the shore. No longer are those youthful voices raised In happy greeting to the new-born morn. All is quiet, all is calm and still. The crosses white against the rich brown earth Alone mark the resting place of Men. 0 ye martyrs, may ye rest in Peace! May ye know a better world afar Where wicked war can never come to kill! To kill in stealth under the shield of right! 0 ye heroes, who thine all have given That the tyrants’ heel might never crush The blooming flower of sweetest Liberty, Fear not that man thy work can e’er forget. Thy deeds, that in gleaming letters of fiery flame Are writ on the tablets of eternity, Can ne’er be dimmed by exacting time nor tears! For when, on the reeking fields of battle, Death’s dread wings one night enveloped you. To each the world gave immortality! Bartlett Stoodley. AGONY AND THE MIDGET Why is the world great And I so little? Men pity me and women scorn me. God, what have 1 done That someone gave me a heart And put it where a pain is greatest? F. Joseph Calandrella. MIRAGE! I Seeking often— Reaching eagerly— To attain but an empty satisfaction Whose acquisition, though but mid-goaL Appeases us — While in the distance Success shimmers. II Vain are we To be thus deluded. And deluded, satisfied! Dean C. Swan, Jr. “VAIN, DELUDING JOYS!” I’d wend my steps up winding ways— Rocky, dangerous, threatening paths I’d travel—up and ever on— If you awaited! There to you I’d breathe my love After the fashion of Pyramus and Thisbe In golden solitude. All these joys mine—if you were real And not that silly picture That stares at me! Dean C. Swan, Jr. 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR CHINATOWN IN BOSTON East is west And west is east At dusk in Chinatown, When the sunlight dies From the buildings’ sides As the sun, far ofT, goes down. The gliding men— Why, the very air Makes a misty atmosphere Of Romance. Romance! Is it not Romance To be in a world so queer? What is there that May not take place In such an exotic land? And it gets so dark And there're strange sounds, hark! Methinks of a Chinese band. Tock—tock—tock— A—tock—tock—tock. Clang! Tock—tock—tock— A—toe k—toe k—toe k. Clang. From this building here The sounds ensue,— From a show in a Chinese hall. Listen, how strange The sounds without change!— Hush! they are not all. There are voices in chords Of a rich Christian hymn, Of a hymn being sung next door! The diff’rent sounds Blend in odd mixture sweet.— Oh, to remain evermore! But we pass down the street Dusky and dark. Away from that world of Romance. Yet as we go The sounds faintly flow And our last longing looks they entrance. Richard Valente, 1925. Woman, Thou art the most precious gift God has given the world. It is thine to inspire men’s hearts With a great, uplifting yearning; To make men strong; To be thyself strong in thy weakness. It is thine to bear the burden Of motherhood; to bring forth A new generation; to instill In tender breasts a love of mercy. It is thine to be sweet and pure; To be worshiped among men.— Men, love her; revere her; Appreciate her; she is woman. Samuel Nelson, 1927. EDITORIALS (Continued from Page 186) JUNIQRS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR GRADUATION The list of failing Juniors was posted. It was like a stern, unrelenting judge looking out upon the high and the low alike and pro- nouncing a sentence against all who would not work. Those people whose names appeared were not on the way to reach the object of the thoughts and ambitions of every Junior, the Senior class. The list caused various reactions among the students. Some did not look at the list, sure in the knowledge that hard work and study had put them in a position where they did not need to worry about failing; others looked, and when they found that their names did not appear, breathed sighs of relief and went their way. There were others, however, who were less fortunate than their fellows, who found that their names appeared on the list. These pupils behaved in various ways. Some merely shrugged their shoulders as if it were no surprise to them. Some went around among their friends and moaned over the fact that they were not passing, but made no effort to make up their marks. There was, however, a third class of pupils who, when they found that their names appeared, resolved to work and be eligible for promotion. They kept their resolutions and worked and so became Seniors. If your name appears on the list do not give up hope. You can take it off and pass. Others have and you can. Through a mistake the name of Stephanie Bean, humor editor, was omitted from the Junior Staff in the Junior Number last month. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 193 LIBRARY 1 )EPARTME T Now that the school year is nearing its close, we are all looking ahead and planning for the summer months and the leisure which they bring us. During the school months reading is too often pushed aside for more pressing, al- though less important affairs, but most of us make time for it in the summer. The list printed below should be a convenient guide for summer reading, as all of the books in it have been recommended by high school pupils like ourselves. I wish particularly to call your attention to the volume of contemporary verse listed, as it was compiled by Miss Merrill, the former head of our English department, and by Miss Sprague, who holds that position at present. It is primarily a textbook for school use, be- ing furnished with excellent notes and compre- hensive explanations, but the collection itself would appeal to any lover of poetry. One of its unique features is the delightful illustrations which are unusual in a book of this kind. “Golden volumes! richest treasures, Objects of delicious pleasures! You my eyes rejoicing please, You my hands in rapture seize! Brilliant wits and musing sages, Lights who beam’d through many ages! Left to your conscious leaves their story, And dared to trust you with their glory; And now their hope of fame achieved. Dear volumes! you have not deceived!’’ —Disraeli. “0 for a Booke and a shadie nooke, eyther in-a-doore or out; With the grene leaves whisp’ring overhede, or the Streete cries all about. Where I maie Reade all at my ease, both of the Newe and Olde; For a jollie goode Booke whereon to looke, is better to me than Golde.” —John Wilson.

Kennedy—Editor David Warsowe—Assistant Editor The Juniors are to be congratulated upon the success of their number. Mr. Mov.: “The Monroe Doctrine is the same as the Policy of Isolation, except for the fact that it is different.” The Seniors have now elected their officers for Class Day and Senior Night. There were a large number of candidates. Final prepara- tions are now being made for the closing events of the year. The Senior boys have condescended to ac- cept the challenge of the Junior boys to a track meet. Somerville High School has a band of which everyone is proud, to say the least. The con- cert was indeed enjoyed by all who attended. Ar.: “Did you dance half-time last night?” Ed: “No, I danced all the time.” Very few humorous remarks of Seniors have been passed in to the editors this month. There is perhaps a good reason for this. Age brings wisdom and dignity. Seniors, did you ever try this one? Well, show your mathematical ability and save five dollars. A man was selling books at the price of three for five dollars. He had thirty books to sell. How much would he realize if he sold them all? Another man was selling the same books two for five dollars. He, too, had thirty books. How much would his proceeds amount to? What would the amount realized by both be? Both these men gave their books to a third man who was to sell the entire amount and turn over the proceeds to the original owners. He figured it out that if two books sold for five dollars and three books sold for five dollars, then five books would sell for ten dollars. As there were sixty books in all, how much did he sell the entire lot for? Compare this amount with the amount realized by the separate sale of books by each of the original owners. Where is the mistake? If you can’t figure it out ask some mathematical Sopho- more. We are told that the Senior editors can solve it. Ask them if you get stuck. 1926 Beatrice Bates—Editor Eldridge was telling a ghost story: “And on the wall of that terrible room she suddenly saw—” Tomfolmle finished it, “The wall paper!” Ahem, Juniors! To judge by recent perform- ances we have actors in our midst. With apologies to Wordsworth, “Those puz- zles are too much for us!” If daydreams are half the battle, a good many Juniors will be world conquerors! In the spring a young girl’s fancy turns to thoughts of umbrellas! Editor’s note: As we write, it pours. “The things which I have always looked up to are falling,” sighed a deep thinking Junior in bitter dejection. Suddenly the house shook, a statue on the piano toppled over, and part of the ceiling descended. Now we know what is so rare as a day in June. At this time we’d say a day in May like that lovely one last week. Wedlock: “Say, what time is it, Mitchell?” Mitchell (springing a new one): “Day time!” R. R.: “Heavens, that boy is wearing over- alls!” L. C.: “Of course not, my dears, those are the new trousers!” But even so we are firm that it is hard to discern the difference between the college young man and a pedlar! Junijor: “Did you see Dutchie plaving mar- bles?” Seenjur: “Yes, they’re going to have mar- bles as a sport in the Suburban League.” They say old styles and customs are being revived. We heard the other day that a Junior has spent at least a hundred hours on a patch- work quilt—and it’s not half finished yet! In the true spirit of humanity we suggest that she use the sewing machine. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 195 Said one Junior to another one warm day: “Say, man, how’d you get that hot dog?” Answered the hot dog possessor: “See mine battered brow? See mine ruined garments? See mine trampled shoes? These did I acquire cum bow-wow!” Even during Courtesy Week the girls were the straphangers. Yes, times are changed; but which, dear elder, is better—to eat slate pencils, as was an olden habit, or to powder one’s nose? Miss C.: “Give me an example of a right angle.” The fashionable miss: “Her hat was set at a right angle.” And there were some Juniors who found the last vacation dull! They wanted to come back to school! What? Yes, it is a true story. Art Enthusiast: “What a beautiful sunset, sir.” Burbank: “Excuse me, madam, but the pic- ture is upside down, that’s a forest fire!” When little Johnny Junior comes to the end of a perfect day at school he goes home and studies,—oh, yes, he doesn’t! for at least four hours! Leary (declining French verb): “Je reconoo- oo—oo!” Mrs. H.: “What construction does do (dough) take after it?” Household Arts Student (absent-mindedly): “Dough, heat, bread!” Here’s a good one for a Latin cross-word puzzle: Formidolosissimusque. There are twenty letters in it! Dear Cicero, it is so characteristic of you! There was excitement in our room last week. Miss Pray sat on the floor ’stead of the seat! How’s that for fine poetry ? Doesn’t it brighten up this column beaucoup? Miss A.: “Tell me literally, what is a foul death ?” Alec Junior: “A dead chicken!” See here, Alec, you should be able to read in the dark by your own brilliancy. Collins (waxing poetic): “Words are gold! Thoughts are silver!” Croire: “Awright, you’re always filled with thoughts, lend me a dime, will you?” The observant Junior discovered a good many other Juniors in the health play, which by the way was very good. Diamond Eyes: “May I borrow a piece of paper, Don?” Don: “Yes, if you’ll return the same piece.” Diamond Eyes: “But I shall have done my algebra on it.” Don: “Nevertheless, I stick to my word!” Two Juniors have each adopted the sweet- est little puppy you ever saw! One’s name (of pup, of course) is Bid and the other’s For- bid. Mrs. C. (questioning from “Ivanhoe”): “And what became of Athelstane?” Edward C.: “Oh, he died (dyed) because the lady Rowena preferred brunettes and he was blonde.” F. C.: “Second childhood?” F. L.: “No, my dear, knickers are the style now!” There’s another baffling mystery in our midst. Everyone is writing sonnets to a beau- tiful Bedeiia! 1927 Robert Stephens, Editor On Monday, the eighteenth of May, this class spent a most profitable assembly period. Through the courtesy of H. P. Hood Sons we saw a film on “Milk.” It took us through the numerous steps from “cow to consumer” that are required to produce safe, pure milk. It was a decidedly interesting and profitable lecture. Mr. Pearson then furnished the encore and spoke for the Athletic Association. The treas- urer and officers, to say nothing of its loyal members, sincerely hope he has fully pictured the seriousness of the situation. The response is the answer, and in support of Mr. Pearson’s plea, the class implores all delinquents to hustle. The Year Book subscriptions are slowly but surely soaring upward. This class, at present, is in the cellar, but just watch us. It’s a poor beginning, but oh, what an ending! A promising young pupil in history was asked who Mohammed married. The answer was: “Why—er—he married a woman.” We are awaiting Mr. W’s announcement of the number of candidates for the play, “fie Who Gets Slapped.” 196 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR NOTES OF THE ALUMNI 1924 Helen Wahlstrom is a stenographer for John J.

The score may look like a football score, but nevertheless it’s base- ball. “Gimpty” Hogan’s home run featured the game. Somerville Downs Everett, 10-1 Somerville revenged the only defeat they re- ceived last year by taking Everett 10-1. “Gimpty” Hogan pitched and came near to shutting out the visitors, but “Doe” Mooney played Santa Claus in the ninth inning and gave Everett their lone run.

Dan is getting back his old habits. Melrose Slaughtered, 16-2 With “Gimpty” Iiogan on the mound for Somerville the Somerville boys easily beat Mel- rose. “Gimpty” knocked a homer in the sixth with one on, and then Kelson stepped up and duplicated the stunt. This made Somerville’s fourth straight win this year. Somerville, 4; Lynn General Electric. 3 Somerville came through to a victory over the General Electric nine. The game went ten innings and was exciting from start to finish. Good pitching by the General Electric pitcher held the Somerville batters at bay. Danny Gets 15 Strike-outs At Brookline on April 25 Somerville out- classed their rival, 9-2. Danny hurled a won- derful game and got fifteen strike-outs. Danny was aided by his team-mates’ timely hitting, and a few Brookline errors. Tommy Griffin, who is Somerville’s most reliable hitter, got four hits out of six trips to the plate; two of them were good for two bases each. This game made Somerville’s fifth straight victory. Somerville Wins Ninth Straight Game, 4-1 The home team successfully defeated one of the strongest teams in the Suburban League. This was the Cambridge Latin outfit. Clancy and McFayden had it hot and heavy, and ended with an even dozen strike-outs apiece. Danny had the better of the duel, because he held Cambridge to one lonely hit, made by Kelleher, while the Somerville batsmen collected six safe- ties from Clancy. Two of these hits were good for three bases and one for a circuit clout. Baker, who was pinch hitting, made one of the three-baggers and McGovern made the other, while no other person than the mighty “Gimpty” made the homer. Phyl.

There isn’t any.” Mary: “Then why does it say ‘Park Here’?” A boy who had left the farm and got a job in the city wrote a letter to his brother telling of the joys of city life in which he said:— “Thursday we auto’d to the Country Club, where we golfed until dark. Then we motored to the beach for the week-end.” The brother on the farm wrote back:— “Yesterday we buggied to town and base- balled all afternoon. Then we went to Ned’s and pokered until morning. Today we muled out to the corn field and gehawed until sun- down. Then we suppered and then piped for a while. After that we staircased up to our room and bedsteaded until the clock fived.” —Exchange. “Success is not made by lying awake at night, but by keeping awake in the daytime.” How many of us does that apply to?

AVERY Headmaster CLASS GIFT The selection of a class gift each year requires considerable thought, but a happy coincidence this year favored the gift committee. This being the thirtieth anniversary of Mr. Avery’s service to the Somerville High School, the committee thought that some recognition might fittingly be given for this wealth of service. A large sepia portrait of the headmaster was presented to the school as a token of appreciation of Mr. Avery’s devo- tion to the interest of Somerville boys and girls, and of his untiring efforts to give them the best that a high school can offer. 1 li r; t a abb nf (Erntbuta Dedication .................

The Senior class may well feel proud of the splendid year just past. In this year we have had a cham- pionship hockey team, a baseball team which is champion of champions, and we have seen the commencement of the building of a locker room on Dilboy Field. The other athletic groups, the musical groups, and dramatics have likewise enjoyed a prosperous year. We hope this book will be a fitting monument to our stay within the walls of our Alma Mater. Too much credit cannot be given to our faculty advisers, Miss Gatchell and Mr. Hosmer, for their untiring efforts for the success of this book, which we now submit to your judgment, and which we hope will satisfy everybody. Finally, we wish, with deepest sincerity, the entire faculty and student body a prosperous and happy vacation. GEORGE M.

KENNEDY The sun, like a golden disc, was sinking into the crimson-tinted depths of the west. The golden afterglow of a beautiful day enveloped everything in its splendor. The man, standing on the hilltop, who was going forth to work on the morrow, glanced for a moment to the west and then turned his face to the darkened east. His concern lay not in the dying day but in the oncoming morrow. And though the east was dark, the vision of radiant dawn filled his soul; and beautiful as the passing day had been, the next was to be still more beautiful. So today the high school senior realizes that the period in which he has taken no part in the affairs of his government is about to end. The period has been one of pleasure while the future will be a period of grave re- sponsibility, for, therein, will come the “test of the soul.” Today every senior should be cherishing the vision of the Idealist, a vision of an America of homes illuminated with hope and happiness; the vision of a people going forth to dedicate their lives to service; the vision of an era of the Golden Rule. The one hope for the realization of this vision lies in God’s two great gifts to man, Labor and Love. Work is a sacred thing and, strange to say, is a rich source of happiness, for the aimless lives are most miserable, while the busy ones are most happy. Happiness has been well defined as a state of mind which is the fruit of a purpose, and if there is a purpose, there must be work. It is the work that results from this high purpose that brings its rich rewards to man. The whole value from this work lies in the effect that it has upon man’s body and mind. Even muscular activity has its beneficial effect upon man’s body. It enriches the blood and increases the energy. Work, the work “That springs from the heart’s desire, Setting the brain and the soul on fire—” reacts on character, cultivating virtues of patience and self-control, of courage and persistence. Mental toil not only nourishes these virtues, but also stores up for the individual information of inestimable value. The student will soon realize that every hour spent in mental toil has en- Tliirtrcn riched his mind in some respect. Thus, the true conception of one’s work is to use it as a sphere for developing one’s body and mind. “Work,” says Nature to man, “in every hour, paid or unpaid; see only that thou work, and thou cans! not escape the reward; whether thy work be fine or coarse, planting corn or writing epics, so only it be honest work, done to thine own approbation, it shall earn a reward to the senses as well as to the thought: no matter how often defeated, you are born to victory. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.” The greatest geniuses have been the greatest workers, and into their work they have put the spirit and inspiration of their lives. It was only by ceaseless labor that the master-pieces of the world have been moulded. Labor, in the words of the ancients, is the price which the gods set upon anything worth having. Work also wins the rich reward of rest, which is the heart of happi- ness. It is only through work that one can appreciate the peace and contentment of rest. In this peace and rest that comes as a reward of work there is complete satisfaction, an ecstasy of feeling that is incom- parable to any other joy in life. Just as work is a sacred thing, love is a Godlike thing. Love is the fulfillment of the whole law of life, and though labor brings happiness, love makes it secure. What is a life devoid of love? Unfortunate is he who is unconscious of the beauty everywhere around him. It is for those who love her that Nature unveils a whole world of beauty and richness, in the majesty of a tree, “A tree that looks to God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray;” in the beauty in the common things that we pass by, “Like the little blue wreaths of incense That the wild thyme breathes to the sky; Or the first white bud of the hawthorn And the light in a blackbird’s eye—”; in the sublimity of the heavens like a temple of light with its “thousand watch-fires.” The individual who does not know this love for the beauti- ful knows not one of the true joys of living. Love of Beauty and Nature is desirable, but love for one’s fellow-men is necessary in this life. There are conditions today born of greed and selfishness. There is suffering and hatred. Society is tainted with prejudice and jealousy; is defiled by misapprehensions and irra- tional traditions. The pillars of society are threatened because men have broken the law of love. These men are ignoble and unhappy. Their minds are warped by malice and their visions are clouded with hatred. Human relationship is poisoned by their acts, and the poison spreads for no one loves a man who is ignoble. Consequently, society is the worse because of the existence of such men. There is need of true love to remedy these conditions in society. Man owes his happiness to others, and there is indeed a “sweet pleasure in paying back one’s social debt.” If man loves his fellow-men, he makes application of the Golden Rule, which demands that he culti- vate a spirit of good-will, and that he manifest his love by service. “The test of a life is its love and love is measured by service.” But can man love his fellow-men; can man love beauty if he does not love the Creator of man and beauty? The attainment of happiness requires this spiritual love as a source of strength and guidance, of hope and comfort. A life without spiritual love is a life without an incentive; a life without the love of God is a life of uncertainty and pain. Spiritual love nourishes and increases love for fellow-men and love for Nature. Whatever one’s spiritual beliefs may be, they should have this reaction over his life. They should make him endeavor “to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with the Lord.” Classmates: The secret of our success in life lies in this gospel of “Labor and Love,” and more than that “Labor and Love” will win for us the ultimate end to which every life is dedicated—happiness, happiness through service. Today we are Idealists, but idealism degenerates into mere sentimentalism when there is no labor behind it. We must be more than idealists; we must be workers. We must pursue our ways in life confident in the just law of compensation, confident that every hour of work will bring its amount of gain, confident that to give happiness is to get happiness. If we go forth with this belief, if we go forth- to “Labor and Love,” our lives are bound to flourish in the sunshine of happiness. Fifteen DEAN C. SWAN, Jr. Odist I Tis now that parting makes us feel The wealth of days gone by, And ponder in our hearts again All the ties that time defy. Chorus Remembering thy gracious care, How loyally we’ll strive To keep the trust upon us placed By the class of twenty-five! II We all may blindly grope anon And travel different ways, But may God bless that future life As he has our dear school-days!

The members of the class soon became acquainted with the strange surroundings, and after settling down they elected the following officers for the Sophomore year: Clifton Camp- bell, President; Eleanor Drew, Vice-President; Muriel Clark, Secretary; and Eugene Le Sieur, Treasurer. Slowly they became active members in High School activities, and toward the close of the year they gave the usual Sophomore dance. This, the first social of the class, was successful, both socially and financially. In the fall of 1923, the majority of this same group of students re- turned as Juniors, ready and willing to take up the work which had been laid aside in June. Our President, Secretary and Treasurer were re-elected, and Catherine Heiser was elected Vice-President. As Juniors we sup- ported all school activities, and supplied the school’s championship base- ball team with the majority of its players. The principal event of our Junior year was Junior Night. Anne Sheridan, Roger Van Iderstine and John Donahue were chosen for Junior Night Committee, and their work, together with the co-operation of the class, resulted in a most enjoyable evening for all who attended. Having successfully completed our Junior year, we finally realized our great ambition, we were Seniors. A great deal of excitement charac- terized the Senior elections, which were held in the polling booths at the Cummings School, and the results were as follows: John Donahue, Presi- dent; Catherine Heiser, Vice-President; Muriel Clark, Secretary, and Eugene LeSieur, Treasurer. The office of treasurer became vacant, how- ever, and Roger Van Iderstine was elected to fill the vacancy. Preparations were soon made for the annual Senior play, and a three- act comedy, “Seven Chances,” was staged under the direction of Miss Bell. This play was one of the most successful plays ever presented by members of the school, and over one thousand people were present. Throughout the year a fine spirit of co-operation was shown by the members of the class, for which the officers are very grateful, and we are now looking forward to a successful Class Day, Senior Night and gradua- tion. In closing, the Senior class extends its heartfelt appreciation to the members of the faculty for their kind interest and sincere devotion. JOHN J. DONAHUE, President Class of 1925.

JUNIOR s a o a sriai o Jlmtuu (EUtaa Itatorn In September, 1924, the Sophomores of the year before returned to school to find themselves Juniors. It was a somewhat different experience from the year before, when they had been “only sophs.” They were now accustomed to the ways of the school, and soon settled down to the grind for another year. Old friends were found, new ones made, acquaintance with studies renewed and, in short, everything happened which always does at the beginning of a school year. The first class action was the election of class officers. The result was as follows: George Shaw, presi- dent; Gladys Allen, vice-president; Anna Sandstrom, secretary; Daniel Cotter, treasurer. A class meeting was soon held, at which, after being introduced by Mr. Avery, the officers spoke. Dues were decided upon and other business attended to. Entertainments were started about this time, and all plays and dances were well attended and enjoyed by the Juniors. Towards the end of the year the event which holds the greatest interest for Juniors, came. The committee was elected for Junior Night, and worked hard for an enjoyable occasion and succeeded. Junior Night was voted a very enjoyable one by all who attended. The play was fine, the specialties well done, the favors pleasing and, to top it off, the orches- tra and dancing were excellent. Many thanks to Miss Bell for her help, to the pupils who took part and to all who attended. The Juniors were well represented also in athletics and studies throughout the year. A novel idea was carried out by the Junior class in challenging the Senior class to a track meet the first of June. At this date the Seniors have accepted our challenge, but the meet is as yet un- played. We hope and mean to beat the Seniors, and see no reason why we shouldn’t. Graduation will soon close the year, and the Juniors will leave the school to return in the fall as the school’s upper-class men, the Seniors. GEORGE SHAW, President, Junior Class of 1926. One II iinil ri d Hlrvrn JUNIOR NIGHT COMMITTEE BEATRICE STEPHENS LAWRENCE BUTTERS RICHARD MILLER JUNIOR NIGHT A most successful Junior Night was held Friday evening, May 22nd, by this year’s Junior class, with several hundred persons present. Twelve Juniors acted as ushers, while Clifton Campbell assisted at the entrance and in the corridors with some of his Traffic Squad men. Preceding a piano duet of popular pieces by Henry Flynn and Leo Litwin, and a solo dance by Miss Grace Sullivan, both of which were very much enjoyed by all, a one-act play, “The Major’s Mistake,” was given. Those who took part, Pauline Baptista, Elsa Walgis, Janie Price, Helen Minton, Francis Hanson, Bernard Levinson and Joseph Gough, did very fine work, and much credit is due the coach, Miss Bell. After the entertainment refreshments were served and dancing for all followed, with “Chick” Story’s Bostonian Orchestra furnishing extremely good music. There were several novel dances where streamers and various colored balls were thrown, and also when favors, small whistling cigars for the boys and toy flutes with pompons on the end for the girls, were given out. The matrons were Miss Brown and Miss Atwater, the patrons, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Sprague and Mr. Carrier. The committee was comprised of Richard Miller, Lawrence Butters and Beatrice Stephens. SOPTOMOHE CLASS PR.E-SIOE-NT 0f fL|CtR_5 VICt PR'E'SIDtNT JOHN MCLAUGHLIN JtNNIt GILBERT ALICE: AIKfrNS TR.ErASUfc IL OJUtBH of 1927 In September, 1924, the class of 1927 entered upon its Sophomore year in the Somerville High School, a year which to most of us has proved both interesting and profitable. The class contributed its quota to the band and the orchestra, has taken its place in athletics, made a good ap- pearance on class day, and the Sophomores that were placed on the Traffic Squad have proved their worth. We gave one dance, which we cannot claim was a marked success, and our class dues have come in slowly. But though we may have been slower than some classes in getting started, we do not intend to be backward in arriving. We hope that the final record of this year will show that we have not fallen below other classes in the proportional number promoted to the Junior class. The officers trust that next year the class of 1927 will make great advance in industry and scholarship. john McLaughlin, President, Sophomore Class of 1927.

As soon as the officers of the Senior and Junior classes were elected, the Council began to hold its meetings, which take place on the Monday after- noon of each week. About a month after the opening meeting the Sopho- more class officers were introduced and then the Council was complete. At the different meetings many important matters, pertaining to the welfare of the school and of the pupils, were discussed, and later were carried out. Among these were an assembly for the Sophomores, during which the purposes and principles of the Council were defined, a courtesy week during which courtesy was encouraged, the ushering at assemblies, a Red Cross drive and the organization of a health committee to assist Mrs. Wyman in carrying out her plans for cleaner rooms and better ventilation. Other matters also were taken up. During the year the Council has at different times tried to impress upon the minds of the pupils the need for their co-operation, for without the co-operation of the pupils and the faculty the Council would not be able to function. In this regard we have been greatly aided by the will- ingness of Mr. Avery to accept and act upon many of the suggestions which the Council has offered during the year. The Council is made up of the four officers of each class, a floor proc- tor from each floor and two faculty advisers, Miss Browne and Mr. Sears. Throughout the year the Senior class officers in the Council have worked hard and sacrificed much of their time on matters pertaining to the interest of the school, and we now bid the school farewell, hoping that those who succeed us will carry on the work even better than we.

THE TRAFFIC SQUAI) AND ITS HOARD OF SUPERVISORS Any institution which is active and working should have a record of its origin and a statement of its purpose. Such a record is especially called for when the organization is new and its every action is a primary one, one upon which future workers base their efforts. The Board of Supervisors is an institution in the Somerville High School which has as its purpose the inspiring of thoughts of honesty, straightforwardness and determination, and help to guide the social and political life of the school in a fair and efficient manner. This board is the governing body of the traffic squad, and the organiza- tion to which a great many of the perplexing problems of the school have been given. It represents an efficient body of students, about 120 in number. This body meets the first Monday of every month and discusses points that would tend toward improvement, and receives instructions from the board. The supervisors meet on Monday of every week, and on the third week of the month hold council in Mr. Avery’s office with their faculty representative, Mr. Sprague. The board consists of one man from each floor in the two buildings, making six in number, an assistant supervisor, a spare supervisor and its president. A secretary keeps a record of all offenders, their offence, and the way in which the offender was corrected. The judicial branch is most helpful in treating with those of the school who do not respect rules. This year’s board is as follows:— racultv Advisers Mr. Avery Supervisors West Building Marvin Campbell George Shaw Tobias Levinson Secretary Muriel H. dark Mr. Sprague Supervisors East Building Winthrop Horton David Hallington Irving Cromwell Spare Supervisor John Bellamacina Vice-President President Charles J. Miers Clifton R. Campbell The president for each year is appointed from the traffic squad and must be a Senior. He is agreed upon by Mr. Avery and the president of the board. For next year Alden D. Bruce has been appointed. During the first year of its existence the board has officiated at all evening events, and has taken over complete responsibility of the build- ing at the Senior play, the Christmas play, the Historical Society social, teachers’ reception and Junior Night. It has, I believe, established a prece- dent, being the first organized unit of government to go from our High School to another city and supervise. This honor was given us by the dean of the Girls' Sargent School, who asked that we take charge of Boston Arena on the evening of their demonstration. It gives us pleasure to announce that the affair was a complete success. It is our sincere belief that this institution is for the uplifting of our school, and is based upon the strongest of foundations, straightfor- wardness, honesty, and determination for good.

Several informal debates, held in the hall and before English and debating classes, were brought about by the executive committee of the society. Elena Ivaska was the very capable chairman of this com- mittee. In the two interscholastic debates the Somerville girls’ debating teams won. The first of these debates was held in Malden, the subject being. “Resolved: That Written Examinations Be Abolished in the High Schools.” In April, Medford High School accepted Somerville’s challenge, and a de- bate was held on the question, “Resolved: That in the Settling of Inter- national Disputes Law Can and Should Be Substituted for Armed Force.” The success of the teams is due to hard work on the part of the girls, and to the splendid coaching of Miss Hezelton. The officers of the past year were: Mabel Gunning, 1925, president; Ruth Schofield, 1925, vice-president: Anna Sandstrom, 1926, secretary, and Miss Hezelton, faculty, the coach. The Girls’ Debating Society has come to the close of another succes- ful year. May the society go on to reap an even greater measure of suc- cess in the future.

The Boys’ Debating Society is a new organization started mainly through the efforts of Mr. Mahoney. Although no interscholastic de- bates were held, the society is well established, and looks to a promising second year. Each week on Tuesday, the meeting was held in 213 and in- teresting debates were given by members. The club will start next year with fifteen active members, whose duty it will be to convince new mem- bers of the value of such an organization. The officers of the club are: President, Thomas Kennedy, 1925; vice-president, Lawrence Capodilupo, 1927; secretary, Daniel Cotter, 1926; treasurer, Edward McCarty, 1925; marshal, Philip Rusden, 1925; moder- ator, Mr. Francis Mahoney.

There is promising material among the Sophomores and Juniors to indicate success for the coming year. The Interscholastic Chess League, composed of Somerville, Rindge, Brookline and Cambridge Latin, was organized last year. Somerville won the cup. This year the council was presided over by a Somerville boy, David Warsowe. We sincerely hope that the council will carry on the good work that it has done in the past, and that our team will make as good a showing.

THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The officers of the Girls’ Athletic Association for the past year were: President, Elisabeth Easton; vice-president and treasurer, Merle Powers; secretary, Marie Harney; executive committee, Ellen O’Donnell, Virginia Johnston and Elisabeth Seckendorf. At the beginning of the year a drive for membership was made with very creditable results, showing that many girls were willing to help sup- port the good work of the organization. In the fall and winter the basketball team played many exciting and interesting games. The girls enjoyed attending several basketball games played by the Sargent girls in their gymnasium, and were inspired to do better work for the success of their own school team. A toboggan party at Franklin Park was planned in January, but had to be canceled on account of the severe weather. A good crowd turned out for swimming at the Cambridge and Malden Y. M. C. A.’s, and all feel that they will excel in their swimming this summer as a result of their good time. In the spring the girls were interested in practicing for field hockey and other out-door games.

J. U.K. CLUB The J. U. K. Club of girls brought to a successful close their fifth year of activity with a house-party at Billington Sea, Plymouth. The club has enjoyed many delightful social functions during the year, including three unique dances, one of which was held at Grace Horne Galleries,. Boston; teas, theatre parties, and a swimming party. At a “rush” party four girls were chosen to carry on the good work of J. U. K. for the coming year.

KAPPA DELTA SIGMA SORORITY The year of 1924-1925 opened with three new officers, Ruth Hussey,, president; Ethel Howard, treasurer, and Ruth Anderson, secretary. On the whole the year was a most prosperous one. A meeting was. held every other week during the year. Three dances were given, a Hal- lowe’en revel, a mistletoe dansant, and an informal dance, together with a whist and dance. The year terminated with a week-end party over May 30 at Nantasket, and a banquet at the Hotel Vendome. Several girls from the Sophomore and Junior classes were made members, and the One II u ml red TIlirty-one graduating girls feel sure that the new members can carry on the work of the sorority and uphold its good name. We take this time to wish the faculty and the members of the student body a very enjoyable and care-free vacation.

We held on December 18 a Christmas party for the alumni, and on May 8, an attractive May dance and party with special features. George MacDonald and his well known orchestra furnished music for all the dances during the year. One of the most attractive annual dances was given in the Heinemann House with special features and favors. A very brilliant and elaborate affair was the annual banquet, which was held at the Hotel Victoria on April 21. The tables were prettily decorated with the sorority colors, red and gold. After-dinner speeches were made by the faculty members and of- ficers, and toasts were given with Evelyn Berry acting as toastmistress. A very enjoyable entertainment was given by several of the sisters. Sorority compacts were given as souvenirs.

One Hundred Thirty-two .. 3FratmutUs .. jj GAMMA ETA KAPPA After a full score of successful seasons, Delta Zeta Chapter looks back over its twentieth year as one of the best. Our informal dances throughout the year have been successful and well attended. Perley Breed and his Oak Manor Orchestra furnished music for our annual formal dance at Heinemann House, and the large crowd present enjoyed a good time. On January 30 Delta Zeta presented “Apple Sauce,” an original musi- cal comedy written and directed by one of the brothers, Horace E. Gil- more, Jr. All parts were taken by the brothers, even to the feminine roles, and our all-Gek orchestra, featured on the stage, was well received by the large audience attending. A large delegation from Delta Zeta was present at the annual dis- trict convention and banquet, March 14, held at the United States Hotel, to celebrate the forty-third anniversary of the founding of the fraternity. We wish, in conclusion, to express to the faculty sincere appreciation for their kindly efforts, which have so helped our Seniors to successfully terminate their High School career, and the entire membership of the fraternity again join in thanking all who have helped to make the past season so great a success. KAPPA ALPHA PI Gamma Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Pi National Fraternity may justly be proud of its very successful season in the Somerville High School. The “Kappas” have been more active than ever in the school. Many of the members of this fraternity have held class offices during this last year, John Donahue, Senior president; Thomas Kennedy, Senior editor; Daniel Cotter, Junior treasurer. Other Kappa men who have acted in some special activity of the school are:— Frank Calandrella, chairman, Senior Play Committee; Senior Night Committee; baseball manager.

OMICRON PI SIGMA Psi Chapter started a successful year with an informal dance at the Fitzedward Bungalow, which was a complete success both socially and financially. We ran informal dances monthly, and in November we ran our annual formal dance at the Heinemann House. The decorations were unique and everyone spent a delightful evening. “Charline,” a musical comedy, written and directed by Miss Gladys Ruth Bridgham, was given in March. Brother Delancey Cleveland wrote the music for the show. A large crowd attended both performances. The annual sport dance was held at the Elks’ Ballroom. Music was furnished by Moynahan Brothers Orchestra of Harvard. The brothers all responded with great spirit, and helped the committee in every way possible. The annual banquet was held in May. Many of the brothers were present and enjoyed a good entertainment. To close the activities of the year a private dance was held at the Fitzedward Bungalow. All present thought their time well spent. Those of us who are leaving the school this year will always carry with us pleasant memories of our life in Omicron Pi Sigma. To the younger brothers upon whose shoulders the burdens of the fraternity now fall, we wish every success. The fraternity extends a very sincere wish to the faculty that the years to come may be filled with the great happiness that comes only to those who serve their fellow beings.

The members furnished the musical program for the out-door com- munity pageant held Christmas Eve on the City Hall steps. The success of the pageant was due, in a large part, to the loyal support of the Sopho- more girls. The latter part of the year the club worked upon a cantata, “Hia- watha’s Childhood.” We extend our mosfc sincere appreciation to Miss Weisman, our faculty adviser, and to Mr. McVey, for their interest and help.

This year the Boys’ Glee Club has been, as in the past, a success both musically and socially, and it is sincerely hoped by the boys that the present admirable spirit will continue in the future. Although it was not an eventful year, the ability of the club was shown by its appearance in Mr. McVey’s beautiful musical play, When the Light Came.” On Christmas eve, after the Community Play, a number of the Boys’ Glee Club went about Somerville singing carols. Much credit must be given to Mr. McVey, who has guided the club suc- cessfully, and to Mr. Hayward, whose advice and faithfulness are duly ap- preciated by every member. With the closing of this year, the members of the Boys’ Glee Club may rightfully feel that they have accomplished their part towards the ad- vancement of young musical America. GEORGE F.

Bell invited all those interested in dramatics to an informal meeting of the club in Room 10. Tryouts were given, and the club began its work for the year under the following officers: President, Albert Irving; vice-president, Gertrude Murphy; sec- retary, Catherine Heiser; treasurer, Philip Rusden. During the year the club presented and read plays with great suc- cess and profit. Mr. and Mrs. Mordant were guests of the club, while Mr. Mordant was in Boston with the “Saint Joan” Company. They were made honorary members of the club. Mr. Mordant spoke to the members of the English Club and members of the Players’ Club in the auditorium on his work, and the interesting events which took place. Mr. Harry S. Smith, Somerville High School, 1921, Harvard, 1925, was a guest of the Players’ Club on December the 5th; the English Club was also the guest of the Players’ Club. Mr. Smith, as the stage manager of the Harvard Dramatic Club, gave an interesting talk on the work of the Harvard Dramatic Club. The Players’ Club presented “When the Light Came,” in the Clayton Ellis Hall on December 23, 1924. It was repeated on Christmas eve for the benefit of the public. There was a prologue which was staged for a “Twilight in Israel,” the play took place in “A Home in Bethlehem.” The play was written by Mr. James P. McVey, supervisor of music in the schools. Special credit was given to our dramatic coach, Miss Harriet M. Bell, for the way she caught the spirit of the play, and with the eye of an artist made the characters live. The play entitled “Farrington’s Suits” was presented on October 29, 1924. This play, written by Miss Mildred N. Smith, a graduate of the class of 1924, now a freshman at Radcliffe College, proved to be such a success that it was presented at three community centres. The club also presented “The Pot-Boiler.” The club has started a collection of pictures and autographs. The autographs of Mr. Mordant and Miss Julia Arthur with other members of “St. Joan” Company have been framed and may be seen in Room 10. A jollification was staged in the auditorium by the club for the faculty, in order to show our appreciation to them for the help which they have given us, and which in many cases has proved a great asset to us. The teachers spent an enjoyable afternoon, many winning prizes and funny favors for their ability in the games scheduled during the afternoon. The club takes this opportunity to express its thanks to Miss Brad- ford, who has done wonderful work for the club by assisting with the scenery. Miss Haley is also due credit for her splendid work in assisting with the costumes. In closing the club wishes to express thanks to our dramatic coach and adviser, Miss Harriet M. Bell. To her all credit is due, for she is with us always in our successes and our trials. Miss Bell is never too tired or busy to give time to anyone desiring work for plays or rehearsals. Miss Bell has been elected to the vice-presidency of the Drama League of Boston. We extend our best wishes to the club, that they may be as prosperous as we have been with the help of our faithful coach. To the Plavers’ Club: “May success be yours always.” CATHERINE HEISER, Secretary.

MANDOLIN CLUB (ElctBB Pnnn BEATRICE MANX Poet THE QUEST Out of the past I come, with the ages heavy be- hind me, Cleaving the shroud of the years with my bright sword’s quivering glory, Bearing the scars of battle, and the fire of a hope still burning. The colors that you wave gaily I fought for and bore through my whole life, Red, and blue, and the purple that is child of the blue and the scarlet. Harken to Thor, the Viking; list to the tale of your colors. My sister Hope and I were Northland born. A heavy-handed Viking was our father, Who, though he scorned the womenfolk as weak, Trained Hope to stern endurance such as Norway’s Cold climate asks of all her sons. I grew Like many a Viking’s son, and learned to hurl A spear, and swing a sword, and bear all pain. Still, when the day was o’er. I liked to tell My dreams to dark-haired Hope and to my mother. I wished the wisdom of the southern peoples, The wisdom of the ages. “E’er be loyal To your ideal, and hope, and some day you Will find what you desire,” my mother said One evening as we sat, Hope, she, and I, Without our castle. “See, Thor, see the west! There burns red loyalty as Sol drives down Into the ocean. Yet the sky is blue, The blue of hope. And, as the heaven above Deepens to purple, so shall loyalty And hope bring you your wish, for purple is The symbol of the dream fulfilled.” With this Flutt’ring within my brain, I sought my couch. When Sol next set, she saw me fatherless. Burned was my home, and gone our dragon ship, And Mother dying lay with Hope beside her, Om Hiin lr«-il Forty-Novon Kneeling with grief-filled eyes. “Best end my life Also,” I muttered, but my mother raised Her eyes. “Hope still is here,” she said, “and far To westward, so they say, atop a mountain At the earth’s end, there stands a mystic castle, And there a man may win his heart’s desire. Remember—loyal—hope—” Her soft voice failed— And Hope and I knelt, orphans, by her side. So I set out upon my quest, Hope with me And loyalty aflame within my heart. Many a weary road we traversed, till The land of mountains rose before our gaze. Eager, we scaled a peak, but when, like gods, We gazed down from our wind-swept height, we saw Another peak to westward, and a valley Between. Like fallen gods we turned our steps Thrice down a mountain slope, thrice climbed again To meet with disappointment. But as we Gained the fourth white peak, we saw the blue-gray sea, J Restless, surging, beating on the portals Of Mother Earth. “The end!” I cried, and swung My sword aloft, saluting, in my joy, The waves, but e’en as sword blade flashed, I saw A phantom far to westward, a gray shape That formless seemed to hover o’er the sea. ! Another coast, another land to search, Another peak to climb! My sword dropped from My hand with muffled clank upon the rock. But Hope quick knelt and raised the gleaming blade, Clasping my fingers on its hilt again. “The west glows red with loyalty,” she said, “And Hope is with you. Somewhere in the west The castle waits.” “I have no ships,” I answered. “There must be'many ships down by the shore To buy.” “How?” “By your sword.” She touched its hilt. “Many a chief would have a lad like you To fight for him.” “The son of Viking Olaf Who served no man, obey another?” I cried. “Never!” But Hope’s blue eyes burned into mine. “And shall your loyalty,” she softly questioned, “To your long quest be cast aside because Of hindrance, Olaf’s son?” Her eyes, unconquered, Undaunted, her proud words revived my spirits, And aiding each the other, climbed we down To tawny shore, where beat the restless sea. Ono Hundred Forl -oiu� � t In gathering twilight far to north, there loomed A castle, glowing cheerfully with lights. Thither we turned our steps and begged for shelter. There Hope and I remained a year. I fought In many a fray, and learned to read the face Of foeman, find his purpose in his eyes; To curb my temper with a steady hand, And most of all, I learned how little I Knew of the world, and how much others knew. Faltering many times, yet when a year Had sped by, I was given a tiny ship And Hope and I set out into the west To where the phantom mountains rose in mist That might conceal the castle which I sought. Half afraid, yet hoping, climbed we it Only to see another land of rock And sheltered vales. Upon that weary journey Many a time my tired heart lost its vision And had not Hope been with me, I had failed. Peak after peak we searched, hill after hill; Sea after sea we crossed with many oars, Year after year. In many an unknown land My sword served strange lords, but with Hope to guard The flame of loyalty that sent me forth To seek, I kept my face steadfastly toward The west, seeking the purpose of my quest. Then one night, as we alone climbed up A shattered peak, from out a rocky pass A band of outlaws came. Alone, we two Faced them. My back against the rugged rock And Hope beside, I bared my sword and fought. A bright blade pierced my arm, but Hope’s quick hand Caught falling blade as it slipped through my fingers And thrust it into left hand. Eager blades Ringed us about as hungry wolves a deer. My strength ebbed with the crimson tide that flowed In sluggish stream from many a wound. My brain Was dazed. Like dream I heard a noise, a crash Of thunder, heard Hope’s voice, “See, Thor, they’ve fled!” As I stood swaying there, a gentle arm. Too strong for Hope’s, was laid about my shoulders. “Peace, lad,” a deep voice said. “Your quest ends here.” “Here? Here?” I muttered, as I strove to pierce The mist that closed in on me like gray fog. Hope’s soft hand touched my eyes, and as the fog Flees before sunlight, so the dark mist fled. The moon had set, but trembling over Hope Like quiv’ring rainbow light shone soft blue glow Deep’ning her eyes and clinging to the shadows Within her dusky hair. And then there blazed About me, dazed, a sudden ruddy light. “Blue Hope,” The deep voice said as firm hand steadied me, One Hundred Fort -nine “Shall join red Loyalty and bring the purple Dream fulfilled ' Like wisps of cloud, the mists Of blue and scarlet floated down the mountain And billowing, merged and folded like soft silks Dcep’ning till they hung like purple robes In mid-air. As the sky lightened, I saw Bathed in the purple radiance, a castle, Its gates flung wide, its corridors aglow With wondrous light, its stones a gleaming white Tinted with shimmering glory. “Enter thou, The deep voice said. “The loyalty that flamed Within thee, and the Hope that followed thee Hath brought thee to thy heart’s desire; for knowledge Is but the power to rule thyself, and he Who can do that hath found all wisdom.” The purple Mist enfolded me, and in its arms I passed into the castle.

A- jFnntbaU Captain Walter Kelson played a brilliant game at end, and won himself all-scholastic honors. Tommy Griffin was one of Somerville’s best half-backs. Johnny Fannon was a snappy quarter-back, with a good head. Walter Breen hit the line with all the eagerness of a tramp eating a turkey dinner. Eddie Bergen tossed the big fellows around like nothing at all. Red Wilson earned himself the captaincy of the 1925 eleven. Danny McFayden’s toe punted Somerville out of dangerous territory many times. Tacks Crosby played a good dependable game at end. Frank Beaver was a fast half-back, who stopped at nothing. Jim Bickford, known as “big six,” hit on all cylinders when playing tackle,. and was down under punts as quickly as the ends. Stan Snell was one of Somerville’s husky guards who let nothing past him. Chick Dolben was a tough guard to make a hole through. Eddie Goodwin earned his letter as manager of the team. Christie Lombard held down right end in good shape. Bill Marcello was a nifty linesman, his one difficulty being to keep his fingers out of the way. Ed Wisewell only weighs two hundred pounds. Draw your own conclu- sions. Nellie Wright was a dependable linesman with all the stuff. Bob Coffey mowed down all opposition like a lawn mower. Bill Talbot played a fine game this year, and ought to be a mainstay in the future. Joe Balboni was a star end who knew a few tricks of his own. Charlie Hatch tackled hard enough to knock over a brick wall. Bob Holmes knew how to pile up the line plunges. Vic Oliver put up a scrappy game and usually nailed his man. Bill McCarthy played a fast and shifty game at quarterback. Tom McGovern is a boy who can bear watching in the next two years. Ray Bowlby seldom missed a tackle, and very few yards were made through his position.

Danny McFayden, the best schoolboy pitcher in New England, has startled the baseball experts by his three years of marvelous pitching. Walter Kelson played a steadily nifty game at first base for three years, cinching all-scholastic honors at that position. Johnny Fannon played a brilliant game at second base. Haskell Hillings was one of the best third basemen Somerville ever had. Tommy Grifiin starred in the outfield and batted consistently around .500. Cy Sullivan ought to do better next season, when he is a little more con- fident. Tom McGovern performed well behind the bat, and was a heavy hitter with the war club. Pat McCahey hit often, and helped Somerville win many games. Toots Leary caught several games and handled Danny’s curves to perfec- tion. Mickey McAuliffe often filled in at second base and performed sensation- ally. Roddy Aylesbury showed the fans that he is a coming star. His brilliant fielding and timely batting earned him a place on the championship nine. Home Run Baker was reliable as a pinch-hitter. Boy Watson, a Junior, shows much promise for next year. Barney Curtin was a southpaw of no mean ability. Manager Frank Calandrella played a fine game “chewing the rag” on the bench and swung a mean pencil.

Price 2% Cenls DROPS BUSINESS CAREER TO BECOME TRAFFIC COP 10.000 SHOPPERS SAVED Former High School Training Aids Campbell in Saving Boston From Being Submerged in Traffic Overflow. Clifton K. Campbell, a young business man. has dropped his highly successful career in order to save Boston's traflle refugees from further devastation. For the last year the pedes- trianic population of Boston has been slaugh- tered right and left by the huge herds of wild Buioks. Dodges and Lin- colns. which have been roaming at large not only over the hi-ways and bi-ways, but also over all localities strictly reserved for native pedestrians. At the corner of Boylston and Washington streets I the carnage has been horrible. Traffic cop after traffic cop had been installed, all meet- ing the same death. Lately no cop had been there until Campbell, tortured by the thought of tin daily loss of lif -. offered himself as a champion for the pedes- trians. Dressed in a beautiful red plush uni- form. armed with a billy club and revolver, ho stood in the centre of the street awaiting the onrush. The herd roared on him. Daunted not the least he blew his whistle, brandished his club and yelled furi- ously in his best man- ner and lo! the auto- ! mobiles slowed down, fell in line and meekly filed by. Ten thousand shoppers were saved by this hero. The thank- ful people have pre- sented him with a new uniform of brilliant yellow linoleum and shoes to match. Camp- bell attributes his site- cess to his training as former head of the Som- erville High traffic squad. GREAT DISCOVERY Professor John L. Con- nolly Reveals Results of Years’ Research.

Q., late graduate of Har- vard (we're not allowed to print how late he was), has recently for- mulated a method of facilitating Latin Translation. •'Friends.” said the professor, in his re- markable essay in Me- chanics Hall. It is with ardent wonder and ad- miration that I look back upon my days of Latin translation In the Somerville High School. I was always the star member of my class, continued he (modestly) and I. my dear fellow unfortunates, am the only living member who never used a trot. However, even 1 recall rare moments when I found the short lesson of forty lines rather trying. But the suffer- ing of my classmates moved me so much that I then and there vowed that 1 should spend ,ny life in seeking a means of simplifying this an- noy� nee.” Here the professor bowed bis silvery gold head and bitter sobs rocked his short two- by-three frame.

Mv friends, Latin can he simplified and shall be simplified by my method. The only way and the best way Is this. As It is a dead language, — bury it — thus saving the trouble of burying those who die from overstudying it. Here the applause was deafening and the enlightened people rushed to the stage filled with joy. So joy- ous were they that Pro- fessor Connolly had to b - safely conducted home by the State militia.

Bartlett Dudley Complains! At a recent fraternity dance Mr. Dudley was in a decided funk and kept stepping absent- mindedly on the feet of his partner. Miss Gret- chen Rowers. After he had ridden nearly twice around the hall on her feet. Gretchen decided that was certainly the limit. so looking, sweetly tip Into his face she said: Bart, old! dear, if you persist in going around this hall on my feet much more.- I shall certainly have to charge you more, than a six-cent fare! Whereupon, the gal- lant chap got so con- fused he missed his footing and also her foot and landed in the lap of Miss Hazellc Foster, who was sitting nearby, much to Don Bolden's fury. “There’s no justice in this world. sighs Bart.

My wife is my greatest joy and delight. Indeed Paradise is as nothing to our happiness. More surprising is it to state, however, that Mrs. Stetson agrees ex- actly with her hubby. This is indeed a unique case of married happi- ness. In fact they are the only couple in the entire New England States who have never been divorced or con- templated it. Mrs. Stetson's chief amusement is driving Mr. Stetson to work every morning, and he in turn takes Toto, their poodle-dog, out for a walk every afternoon.

One Hundred Seventy-two PREPARING FOR CLASS DAY (Mjjmuntmg Amarfo The Typewriting Department has this year secured splendid results from the use of the monthly speed tests furnished by the various typewriter companies. The Underwood, Remington, and Woodstock companies have made some changes in the form of the awards, giving a pin in place of a card case or diploma for forty and forty-five words. These pins are attractive in design, made of silver and gold, with safety clasp, and have served as an added incentive to better and more accurate typing. In making corrections on all speed tests the department adheres strictly to the International Typewriting Contest Rules. An additional rule has this year been made to the effect that the gross number of words written by any pupil should be determined by the number of strokes made by the pupil on the basis of five strokes for each word. In the past it has been difficult to have the intensity (average number of strokes per word) always absolutely uniform. Counting by strokes—five strokes to the word—standardizes the intensity of the copy and enables the typewriting in- structors to gauge, with absolute accuracy, the progress made by these classes from month to month. It must always be remembered that occasional spurts of speed for a minute or so at a high rate mean nothing. The real speed is the speed that can be maintained for a long period, and this is also the real test of the typist. Speed is a growth. It does not come from a few hours or a few days of practice. The quest of speed must be pursued intelligently, with a definite purpose in view and a knowledge of the steps leading to it. Speed is the result of five things: First, concentration; second, efficient fingering ability; third, accuracy; fourth, continuity of operation; fifth, steady nerves. The importance of concentration and accuracy cannot be overemphasized. As most of these tests are limited to a maximum of five errors for fifteen minutes of copy, a high degree of accuracy is a requisite for an award. In the preceding pages, containing the pictures and sketches of the Seniors, the typing awards have been enumerated by the name of the machine, plus the minimum amount required for the award. Thus, Remington (25) means that the pupil earned the primary award which is given for a net speed of twenty-five words. Since the number after the machine name in each case designates the character of the award, and not the actual rate at which the test was written to secure the award, he may have written at any rate from twenty-five to thirty-nine words on the test. 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 at least three machines and an opportunity to qualify for each award.
