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
