Few can realize unless in direct con- tact with the staff of a school paper the amount of work that is required by such a publication of the edi- tor and his associates. Far too many hold the impres- sion that whatever is printed in the paper is written by members of the staff. Such is not the case and ought not to be the case. Every editor shares the re- sponsibility of producing the issue at a stated lime. The one thing every editor desires is co-operation from his classmates and co-workers. Will you help him attain it? Will you prove your interest in the school itself and in its activities by doing so? Please remember when submitting material to give your name, year and home-room number. These arc very essential. If your contribution does not appear when you expect to see it, don’t blame the Radiator. We appreciate your co-operation and work. We are particularly grateful to those, both teach- ers and pupils, whose contributions have helped to make our first issue of the Radiator a success. The school takes this opportunity to extend its deepest sympathy to Mrs. Topliff in the loss of her only sister and to Miss Fury in the loss of her father. One cannot help but notice the growing enthusiasm that has been felt in the school by the introduction of tennis circles. Tennis in the high school is a game which has been introduced in recent years. Up to that time baseball, football, and track were the major sports. Now tennis opens a new field to both boys and girls, and has an exceedingly promising future. It is the desire of the promoters of this sport in our school, as well as of the members of the teams, that the matches will receive hearty support by a large number of enthusiasts. THE GENERAL OBSERVER Now that the Sophomores have found that there isn’t an elevator and that Room 101 is not the manual train- ing department, we hope they will soon begin their first installment of a bigger and better education. A good example of the amount of attention paid in a Junior chemistry class was given the other day when one of the budding youths replied to the teach- er’s question that there were two kinds of thermome- ters, Fahrenheit and Centipede. War has been declared! Preliminary skirmishes are held daily at 12 noon in the lunch room. Makes good winter training for the C. M. T. C. students. Speaking of Camp Devens. Have you noticed the manly forms and ruddy complexions of some of our boy friends? We heard that, speaking in the vernacu- lar, it’s a pretty good racket. We wish to congratulate the Sophomores on the business-like way they are co-operating with the traf- fic squad, especially on the second floor East. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Frank H. Wilkins The death of Mr. Wilkins two weeks ago Thursday morning, October 7, came as a sudden shock to our teachers and pupils. Though he had been ill since school opened, we had not realized the seriousness of his condition. Indeed, only the day before his death he had been sitting in his chair, so earnest was his purpose to “carry on.” As Mr. Avery stated in a special notice to all teach- ers and pupils toward the close of the session follow- ing the news of Mr. Wilkins’ death: Mr. Wilkins has been a teacher in this school for twenty years, and for twelve years has been Head of the Preparatory Department. During that time he has come in contact with hundreds of pupils who have received from him advice and instruction of a high character. They and all others who have come in con- tact with him will remember him for his splendid teach- ing and for his personal interest in them. In honor of his memory school was dismissed at 1.30. Afternoon school work and all other appoint- ments were cancelled. Pupils left the building quietly that in a simple yet expressive way they might show their respect for Mr. Wilkins and their sympathy for his family. Mr. Wilkins was born in Charlestown in 1873. He was graduated from the Warren Grammar School. Just as he was ready to enter high school, his parents moved to Somerville, and he was graduated from the Somer- ville High School in 1891. He not only won high rank in scholarship, but was honored with the office of major of the high school battalion. The boys of the early nineties will recall 'he military drill of those days. For family reasons Mr. Wilkins felt obliged to give up his intention of going to college. After three years of work in the business world he found himself able to continue his education, and in 1898 he was graduated from Boston University, College of Liberal Arts. All through his college career, however, he worked Saturdays in Faneuil Hall Market. This experience coupled with his three yeais’ employment between school and college gave him a knowledge of the world of affairs that was of great value to him in his con- tact with pupils. It may most truthfully be said of Mr. Wilkins that his life’s work was teaching. The first two years were at Horace Mann High School in Franklin, then followed two more years in the principalship of the Plainville High School. His first work in Somerville was at the Prescott Grammar Evening School. Here for three years, while at the same time he was in the Revere High School during the days, he taught four nights a week in the winter term along with his for- mer teacher and friend, Mr. Charles F. Murray. Many men, widely scattered, remember with giatitude the inspiration these two associated teachers gave a score of years ago to boys who were early obliged to give up their schooling. It was in 190G that Frank II. Wilkins was hired to teach Latin in the Somerville Latin School. Mr. Bax- ter knew his scholar. The boy who had learned Latin could teach it. At the resignation of Mr. William D. Sprague in 1914 he was made Head of the Classical Course. One would like to quote the words of tribute that a thousand pupils might give to their teacher. Al- ways forceful and interesting, with a rare gift of il- lustrating the principles of language, Mr. Wilkins taught Latin as a language still living. His mind was keen. With teachers and pupils alike he was quick at repartee, yet never unkindly. We just liked him. In these later years, as more and more detailed work devolved upon him in advising pupils about their courses, and filling out the many application blanks connected with their entrance to college, he was very faithful and painstaking. And to all the duties of the day for many yeais he added his work in the eve- ning high school. Surely to the schools of Somer- ville, where he early gained that fine-scholarship, in- stilled by Mr. Hawes, Miss Fox, and Mr. Baxter, whom the boys and girls of one and two generations ago can never forget, Frank Wilkins gave the full measure of devotion. He will long be remembered by pupils, fellow-teachers, and his friends about the city, which was his home so long. Many of his fellow-citizens, who did not know him personally, will not soon forget his untiring devotion to his son Hollis, who for more than three years needed constant care and brought many sleepless nights to his watchful parents. It seems as if we had lost our friend and teacher in his prime, just fitted by his experience for many useful years to come. The Somerville High School is grateful for his life, and shares with his wife and his son Malcolm, the sorrow at his parting from us. George M. Hosmer. 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A Cruise in Southern Waters By Lucy I. ToplifF T wasn’t altogether a cruise, for we had a month on land, hut there was a month of sea; nothing but sea with social calls by the way along fascinating shores. It came about like this. Some one said: “Why don’t you take the Mediter- ranean and Adriatic cruise?” The advice, if it could be called that, sounded far more agreeable than advice usually does, so we followed it and on June 23rd left Boston on the steamship Martha Washington, the Cosu- lich-Italian line, for southern Italy and the Dalma- tion Coast. That night it rained. It rained the next day. In fact for seven days there was nothing but grayness, tog and cloud, the Atlantic behaving in a most unseemly way. The management, however, as if trying to make up for the weather, provided a varied entertainment. There were orchestral concerts, morn- ing and evening, for the Italians take their music with them when they go to sea. The programs were of high order, although there was always one number which appealed to the popular liking for jazz. Did they think it would be particularly agreeable to the Americans? Was that why it was inserted? I won- dered. Then there were “movies” every night. Danc- ing for those who danced; “bridge” for those who played, and the most wonderful things to eat—for those who were not seasick! So the week passed and one morning we awoke to the blue skies and the blue waters of the Mediterra- anean; to St. Michael’s in the Azores. Next we stopped at Lisbon, and then Naples. But it was only after we had left Naples that everything was new and so, correspondingly, interesting. All day we sailed south, bearing a little toward the east in the direc- tion of the Messina Straits. Stromboli, where Aeolus of old guarded the cave of the Winds, sent out and aup J'ork-like tongues of flame, and as Vesuvius, since It blew its cap off, is content seemingly with a wisp «of smoke for head covering, we were glad that there was one volcano that was living up to its reputation, especially as no harm was being done. So all the af- ternoon we sailed on, and the hills and mountains on the islands changed from gold to rose and gray and then purple and the sun dropped behind the rim of the sea to the other side of the world. At twilight we entered the straits, passing between Scylla and Charybdis the rocks and the whirlpool which caused the ancients such terror. But they have been tamed by modern science; the rocks, wholly done away with; and as for the whirlpool, I am positively sure that only sailors and ardent lovers of the classics on the lookout for ancient landmarks, if a whirlpool may be classed as a landmark, would ever detect any un- usual turbulence of the waters. Reggio in southern Italy and Messina in Sicily confront one another across the strait, and a ferry boat will take you from one to the other in about twenty minutes. The world has traveled a long way since the days of Vergil! When morning came we were well on our way to Pa- tras in Greece—sailing in and out among the Ionian Islands, barren rocks flushed with rose of the most beautiful hues and tints, so many of them. We saw Ithaca, that is, we looked hard at two islands about which the wisest scholars differ as to which one was the home of Ulysses. But we were safe either way as we saw both, and we feel much better acquainted with Ulysses at any rate. By mid-afternoon we were anchored at Patras with Missolonghi, where Byron died when helping the Greeks gain their independ- ence, just across the Gulf of Patras. Was it hot? It most certainly was; hot to the nth degree! But that was not the reason why we did not go ashore. Patras, although the second largest city in Greece, is not modern in its sanitation and every once in awhile there is a rumor of “The Plague,” but some charming English people who live there told us that they had never known of an epidemic, and were never in fear of it. However, only those whose destination was Patras were allowed to land, while the rest of us from the ship watched the town wake from its long mid- day siesta; watched while one table in the open square blossomed out with a white cloth; then another and another. Men, women and children appeared as if by magic, eating, drinking, laughing and talking; the usual closing of the day which looked to us so much like a festival. Ragusa in Jugo-Slavia was our next port-of-call, and when you enter the Old Town you feel as though you had stepped backward into the Middle Ages. There is the frowning fortress with its massive ram- parts and bastions; there, the streets that are stair- ways and there, the encircling walls. We were for- tunate in seeing the people gather in the square for their evening promenade, and the band played and the lights gleamed on the Venetian facades of the picturesque old buildings—for Venice at one time was the over-lord of this same little town—and we half- dreamed we were living in the long-ago. A flaring light gleams forth, throwing in clear re- lief the faces and dress of a group of girls approach- ing us. We look eagerly, expecting something quaint and individual in costume. We look again. Surely our eyes deceived us. But no! Each girl has “bobbed” hair; each wears short skirts, flesh-colored stockings and “pumps.” Laughing in spite of our disappoint- ment, we went back to the ship to learn that Ragusa New Town was and is a favorite summer resort for the French as well as Italians and Austrians, which accounts, perhaps, for the modern dress. But the Jugo-Slavians are quite- alert along other lines than dress, we discovered. When we landed we were asked to show our passports. “Ah, yes. Americans. $1.00 each, please,” said the smiling official, who spoke Eng- lish remarkably well. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i An English friend next showed hers. “50 cents for the English lady,” said our officer, smiling more broadly than at first as though appre- ciating his joke. “That isn’t fair,” we protested. “Oh! yes,” he replied, “America rich. Americans pay!” And we did. But we must not condemn this bit of European re- taliation too harshly. The landing-tax, the high prices in general of the passports in Europe followed in natural sequence the price of the passport in this country. In war, passports are necessary, but not in peace. Our government, however, still obliges every citizen who wishes to leave this country for foreign shores to pay $10.00 for his passport. In 1921 France asked $5.00 and Great Britain $2.50, but very soon they followed the United State$ and raised the price to $10.00, and Italy, without much delay, did the same. More and more American travelers are questioning the justice of this law, but if some revenue is neces- sary, why shouldn’t the United States as the richest nation on earth be the first to lower the rates? It is safe to say that other nations would soon follow suit. Now just a few words about our stay on land. First there is Venice, Venice with its wonderful square of St. Mark’s; with its beautiful buildings on three sides —stately, though only two stories in height—and the glorious church of St. Mark’s on the other, flashing and gleaming with the beauty of its mosaics at all hours of the day; the fascinating shops in the ar- cades, the restaurants, especially Florian’s, over- flowing into the square itself. “Will Florian’s be open this evening at 12?” asked a visiting American. “Sir,” said the waiter proudly, “Florian’s has not been closed for six hundred years!” This was before the Great War. During the war it was closed on account of the Austrian bombs, one of them falling within a few feet of the entrance of St. Mark’s, diag- nally across the square from Florian’s. And Flor- ence—the Florence of Dante, Boccaccio, and Savon- arola with its lovely paintings, its beautiful statuary and magnificent old palaces. And then the lakes. Lake Garda, Lake Como, Lake Lugano and Lake Maggiore. Catullus lived on the shores of Lake Garda and Vergil in one of his books speaks of its wintry winds, but in one secluded section the high moun- tains shut off the cold winds, the sun shines warmly and the orange and lemon trees flourish; all of which makes it a favorite winter resort and has given rise to the name, “Italian Riviera.” Maggiore, lovely and friendly, with shores not as wildly beautiful as those of Garda, fur- nishes the Milanese gentry with the most de- lightful of playgrounds. Of them all, however. Lake Como is the most alluring. Who can de- scribe the depth of the blue of its waters! Who can paint its sunrise beauty or that of a moonlight eve- ning! And Bellagio, situated at the junction where one branch of the lake stretches off toward Lecco, is a kind of earthly Paradise to most Americans. Never was any little Italian hamlet so captivating as the little village of Bellagio. Never were hills so pro- tectingly kind as those about this same little village. Wooded from summit to base, their reflections in the clear waters of the lake double its beauty. It is generally conceded here in this country that a native of California considers and honestly believes that much of the beauty of the world lies within the boundaries of his own state. As we went on board the little boat which was to take us across the lake to the railway station, a gentleman from California turned to take one last look at the little village sleeping in the sunshine. With a dramatic wave of his hand which included in its radius village, lake and mountains he exclaimed: “You can’t beat that!” We heartily endorsed his words! SHORT STORY CLUB The Short Story Group of the Literary Club held its first meeting of the year October 6, 1926. A com- mittee of three, Ruth Garrod, Winifred Hurley and Ruth Sibley, were elected to furnish entertainment for the next meeting. The meetings will be held the third Wednesday of the month in Room 201. The present twenty-two members urge that you attend, as the club promises many interesting programs in the future. The officers for this year are: Margaret Lacey, chairman; Ruth Hodges, secretary. THE PLAYWRITING GROUP The Play writing branch of the Literary Club held its first meeting of the year on October 0, 192G. The faculty members this year are the Misses Boole, Elli- son and Smith. Elections were held with the following results: Chairman, Rebecca Kcnnard, and the commit- tee consisting of Elliot Hall, Sylvia Brown and Doro- thy Leeman. Meetings are to be held the second Wednesday in the month. 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Dad’s Ken By Alice Dunlap STRONG, DEEP BOND of affection gen- erally exists in a family that has been early deprived of a mother. This was undeniably true in the case of Lawrence, Chester, Kenneth and me. Dad lavished an unusual and companionable affection on all his children, but for Ken his devotion was some- thing like worship. He was the odd one in appear- ance. Dark-eyed and with golden-brown hair, Ken was distinctly noticeable among the rest of us Wat- sons who had blue eyes and brown or black hair. He had mother’s coloring and many of her little manner- isms which endeared him more and more to Dad. There was only one quality in the boys with which Dad could not sympathize—their love of the sea that they had inherited from mother’s people, who were all seafaring. Father had an intense distrust and hatred of the water, but to the boys it was the very breath of life. Ever since they had been old enough to pat a ship’s cat they had gone on short cruises along the coast with Captain Neely. They would come back brown, wind-hardened and enthusiastic. For weeks their talk would be tinged with nautical expressions. It was on rare occasions that Dad would permit Kelt out of his sight; perhaps that was why the longing, unsatisfied as it was, burned deeper in him than in the others. Often he would go down to the little salt- rotted, wave-washed wharf and gaze far out to where the water and sky met, craving for the sway of a boat on angry waters and a vicious Nor’easter bat- tling against the courageous craft. He would shove his hands deep into his pockets and throw back his head, his hair blowing on the wind, his eyes closed in ecstacy. He would come back to reality and dis- pondently turn back home, his eyes wistful with long- ing. The boys stamped back from the fields one day bursting with news that George LeBlanc had com- pleted his two vessels and was ready to start for a two-years’ cruise. Ken’s eyes were lit with more than usual determination and fire. The three grouped around the table and talked, seriously intent. The last rays of the sun slanted calmly through the small-paned windows and lay across the floor, partly brightening Dad’s rocker. The quaint little clock on the shelf ticked plainly and in- dependently above the drone of the boys’ voices. Only once or twice did I hear Ken’s voice; for the most part he sat with his head in his hand, his fingers tunning restlessly through his wavy hair. Though they had, out of consideration, been careful not to let the drift of their conversation reach my ears, I could not but know what was foremost in their minds. I moved about the room preparing supper. The pies came out of the oven well-browned, filling the air with their tantalizing, spicy odor. The boys stopped their con- sultation long enough to sniff the air and smile ap- preciatively. When we were seated for our evening meal, Law- rence, our capable oldest brother, spoke to father, a little hesitant, his eyes turned from Ken’s lowered ones. “Dad, being as we are,” he smiled, “we can’t see two perfectly good boats set sail and not take ad- vantage of them, but there’s work here to be done, so we've decided that only one of us at a time can go.” Dad arose and went to the sink, pretending to re- fill his glass, though he had not so much as touched the water already in it. His back was turned to us and Lawrence waited, expecting him to return to his place, but Dad still stood there, his old abhorrence of the sea swelling up in him. The pump emitted the last plaintive squeak and all at once Dad spoke gruffly:— “Go on, say what you’ve got to.” His voice was hard with constrained emotion. Chester picked up the thread of the explanation where Lawrence had left it hanging. “The farm depends on Lawrence more than on Ken or me—” He stopped as though considering how he should best go on. Dad remained motionless. “And Ken’s the youngest, of course,” continued Chester as though th it were all that need be said, for we all knew it was not Ken’s youth that opposed his going, but Dad. “So,” Chet went on trying not to make his joy too evident, “I’m to be the sailor.” Dad sat down and passed his hand over his eyes wearily. The rest of the evening was heavy with silence. In the days that followed, the preparation for the long voyage of the “Madelon” took much of Chet’s time, but he, with the others, tried to keep things in a state of happy normalcy. Chester, who was born with an entertaining gift for mimicry, imitated everything and everybody he ever saw. He outdid himself in the effort to make Dad’s outlook brighter. “Well, Pop,” he said eagerly, “went down to the courthouse today with George about some legal mat- ters and we heard a couple of cases. Gee, it was rich. Old Mrs. Keyes was there, arguing with all and sundry. It seems last month she went to her church bazaar. She parked her horse and buggy be- tween Sam Gcrrish’s flivver and Jo Emmons’ hay cart and went inside. Lew Harris was supposed to look af- ter the horses, but when it got hot he turned them out where it was shady in the sorrel field by the town- hall. That night Mrs. Keyes’ mare had colic and turned up her toes and died. She vowed the sorrel had given her horse the colic, and wanted money to pay for her loss. Lew Harris argued that the sor- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR II rel hadn’t killed her “hoss” but too many oats had, just as true as he had a nose on his face. So Mrs. Keyes brought Lew to Judge Boone. Lew got awful excited and fairly jumped up and down. He kepi yellin’:— “ ‘It was oats that killed her. Mis’ Keyes alius over- loads her hoss with oats.’ The judge looked over his specs at the claimant standing there with her nose in the air givin’ Joe witherin’ glances. ‘“Well, Mrs. Keyes,’ the judge drawled, ‘how many buckets a day did you feed your hoss?’ “ ‘I didn’t feed my horse buckets, I fed ’em oats,’ she snapped back at him. “The court roared, and after the judge sat with his fingers on his chin for a while, tryin’ to 'pear as if he was weighin’' both sides of the case, he decided in favor of Jane Keyes, when, of course, she’d really won the minute she stepped into the court room. She is a hot one,” ended Chet, shaking his head at his memory of her. While he talked Chester had been demonstrating, and Dad’s eyes began to twinkle, and the corners of his mouth were turning up. “Jane would win,” he said, pleased with the seen? Chet had enacted for him. The boys exchanged glances; Dad had forgotten his burdens for the mo- ment. “Heave to, Dorry,” interrupted Lawrence, standing by the stove, “spuds are burning.” “What’s that mean,” he puzzled as I flew to the stove, “what’s it mean when the water boils out of potatoes? Sign it’s goin’ to rain, isn’t it?” “Seems to me it’s the sign you didn’t put in ’nough water,” corrected Ken, impishly thrusting out his fool for Chester to trip over, as he passed him. a • The morning of the day Chet left, a crowd of young people held an impromptu party in our old barn, for him and the otheis who were to sail. It was one of those deathly quiet afternoons that. Chet went away. So quiet one could almost, as Ken said, “hear grass grow.” After the laughter and noise that had lasted up to the moment of the departure, the silence was un- bearably nerve-wearing. I was beginning to realize the heartaches of a woman in whose men the ever seething “sea-blood” flows. Dad sat out under the maples in the yard, and his eyes wandered over the chicken houses Chester had rebuilt the summer before. It seemed such a danger- ously possible thing for his hoy never to come back. As he preferred to be alone I went in and tried to distract my mind fiom its brooding by creating a bedlam of unnecessary noise with the kettles and pan. Poor Dad’s bitter misunderstanding of the sea was beginning to be contagious. Lawrence had gone to the pasture to hurry the cows that were reluctantly leaving the sweet, tender grass; and I followed to take down the bars of the stone wall, so the cattle might go through. Ken was there, leaning against the wooden rail. He was looking across the rocky, hilly ground, watch- ing the sun set in flaming colors of scarlet and gold. His hand gripped the bar and his words were cjioked. “The time will come, Dorry, the time will come, and then Dad FIc looked over the fields again and in the distance we heard Lawrence’s voice calling, urging the lingering cattle. A slow line of cows ap- peared, moving through «he deep grass, and between the trees. Black and white, brown and white against green. Gyp’s sharp, joyful bark came through the quiet air and we could see him bounding in the dis- tance, before his master. Within eight weeks the “Madelon” had been forced back for repairs and again had gone, and with it this time Lawrence went. Old Lew Harris with a fifteen-year-old boy had come to help with the work. One evening at supper 1 telt a tension hanging over us that warned that another climax was rising. Kenneth moved restlessly in his chair and looked out the window, seeing nothing. Poor father stared at his plate, scarcely eating. Something was coming and my heart ached for both of them. Old Lew had llied to develop conversation, but became discouraged by the shortness and inappropriateness of the an- swers. Young Joe shoveled the food into him raven- ously, not wasting the time to talk. He jabbered in- cessantly, ordinarily, but devoted meal time to eat- ing. My brothers were hearty, but young Joe stowed away more than all three put together. Under my continual scrutiny Ken turned as if to speak, and then dejectedly staled out of the window again. He was trying not to make it too difficult for his father, but finally he blurted out: - “Dad, I’ve got to go.’’ A queer expression spread over Dad's face and he grew a startling grey. Even Joe forgot his food and became all eyes. Dad cleared his throat -we might expect anything—anything! “Pass the carrots, please, Doris,” he said, his voice thick. That was all. Then I, the baby of the family, found thrust upon me the task of filling others’ places in their absence. The months that followed were empty and not with- out anxiety that seemed almost cowardly. Lawrence’s letters were filled with technical terms. He was working hard in his study of navigation. Chester’s were filled with every bit of humor he could glean (it was like him), but Kenneth’s letters said- nothing. It was written between the lines- his con- tent underlined with regret for Dad’s unhappiness. We always smiled at Chet’s letter. In one of them he wrote:— “While I was swabbing the deck this A. M., Sis, waiting for the mess (sailois can’t cook worth a her- ring’s fin, Doris), guess who I began to think of— (Continued on Page 22) 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR My Summer in France By Louise M. Saunders F I were a writer or a painter I might de- scribe a very interesting summer in France, but being neither I can only try to give a little idea of it. The month of July we spent in the study of French at the Sorbonne, or Uni- versity of Paris. The course was an exceedingly in- teresting one from two points of view: First, because of the different nations represented, and second, be- cause of the nature of the course. Over twenty of KNTKANCK TO BLOIS CHATEAU AT BLOIS. PRANCE the United States were represented besides almost every country in Europe. The morning was given over to three hours of classroom work, and in the after- noon four hours were spent in visiting the historical spots in and around Paris, all under the direction of French professors. These included such noted places as Versailles, Fontainbleau, Chartres, Amiens, Vin- cennes and Sevres outside of Paris. In Paris the Gobe- lin Museum and factory, the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned and the cage in which she was confined two hours before her execution; the fam- ous Louvre, Luxembourg and Rodin museums, and the churches of Sacre Coeur, the Madeleine and the well- known Notre Dame. One could go on endlessly describing the things of interest in and around Paris, but I will mention only a few. The Cathedral of Chartres with its beautiful stained glass windows, said to be the most beautiful in the world, was very interesting to me. I reached there at midday and had the opportunity to climb 312 steps to the tower and see the enormous bell rung. My imagination wandered back to Quasimodo in Notre Dame. Then, too, the Gobelin factory with its wonder- ful tapestry was instructive. I saw the men at work and was told that 14,000 colors were used and only one square meter a year was accomplished. Sevres, famous for its pottery, was most novel. Here I had a chance to see the making of china from start to finish. At the end of the course, under the direction of the Sorbonne and accompanied by a French professor, a trip was arranged to the French Alps and the Pyre- nees. Starting from Paris we traveled to Lyons, the capital of the silk world. Here we spent a day in see- ing le Musee des Tissus in which were beautiful silks of different periods. From Lyons we passed over the Swiss border into Geneva, Switzerland, where we stayed two days. The beautiful snow-capped Mont Blanc in the distance, its wonderful lake and its clean streets, not forgetting to mention the famous Peace Conference building, make this an historical spot. We could not stay long enough in Geneva; Chamo- nix and the famous Mer de Glace, the scene of “Le Voy- age de Monsieur Perrichon,” was our next destina- tion. Leaving Geneva I had a very eventful day. Start- ing early in the morning by auto bus, I first had to deal with the customs officials. Finding I had nothing dutiable they allowed me to pass. Chamonix we reached by noon, after having had a wonderful pan- oramic view of Mont Blanc with its snow cap and its glaciers. I had scarcely begun my ascent in a train up Mont Blanc to Mer de Glace, when one of the worst thunder storms of the season broke forth. The Mer de Glace was reached, but no descent on its surface was possible. On my return to the village I was in- formed of a landslide, and so in order to reach my next destination it was necessary to climb some dis- tance along the side of a hill. The hotel was finally reached. Although dampened as to clothes, the spirit of the party in which I was traveling was not, for around a table lit by candles (the storm having put the lights out of commission), we sang the familiar “Frcre Jacques” and “Au clair de la lune.” Traveling through Chambery I stopped to see Jean (Continued on Page 19) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1C During the past years the Radiator has been for- tunate in having a large number of pupils take an active interest in the Poet’s Corner. Much talent has been shown on the part of contributors, and the editors have all expressed a certainty that the poetry page of the High School paper is a decided success and asset. The beginning of the year is the most difficult how- ever. A Senior class has gone and a new first-year class has arrived. In this way some of the regu- lar contributors have departed and whatever talent is hidden in the Sophomore class will not be discov- ered until much later in the year. So we urge you not to be slow in submitting any poems you may have, however poor you may think them, for the editor may disagree. The poetry page cannot live on its reputation, nor can it continue to exist if we receive no co-operation. If you know of anyone who writes poetry, then let the editor know. If you have written some yourself, bring it along and the chances are you will see it in print. The editor will attempt during the coming year to maintain the standard set by.the Poet’s Corner, and, if possible, raise that standard to an even higher de- gree of excellence. John E. Pierce, 1027. GLORIOUS AUTUMN Sunbeams dance upon the river. Shine on autumn leaves so bright; Then one’s heart begins to quiver, For such beauty gives delight. Trees are wrapped in red and brown; Leaves are scattered here and there, Gold and rubies on the ground; Carmen berries everywhere. Skies are hazy like a dream, Pearly clouds gaze down upon Enfolded sunny spots of green, Tangled vines of golden fawn. ja ' e . Flitting in the crystal;air, Halting gaily ir. the trees, Flocks of busy birds are there Trilling sweetest melodies. ( Sparkling river,—shady trees, Glorious scene, with woods around, Flaming ruby, golden leaves! Seems to me like fairy ground. Pearl Doyle, 1927. AN OLD SALT'S DREAM A rosy dawn and a running tide, and a white-capped vacing sea, A wet salt wind and stinging spray, and a white sail flying free; Low-hung clouds with a fringe of rain, the sea gull's wheeling flight, The sun-kissed sea on a tropic day. and the light of the moon by night. Feathery palms on a sunlit beach, the flash of spray and spume, The plunging bow of an outbound ship, a scarlet para- keet’s plume; These things I dream on a gusty night, when the sea wind's blowing fast, A fading dream of a vagabond’s life; how I long for the.years gone past! John E. Pierce, 1927. A MOTHER’S FAREWELL TO HER (Till.I) Close not thine eyes, sweet child. Ah, close them not! My heart V Throbs; if those blue orbs dim A ’Twill rend my bieast and part From out my body. Thy form Lies still, but thine eyes Gaze into mine, like twin — Pools ’neath an azure sky, Reflecting in their depths The secret of the universe. Thy hand grows cold, dear child, It trembles so! Sweet Lord, Reach down and hold apart those Heavy lids that droop and droop With ever-failing strength Over my child’s eyes. They shut! They flicker, gaze but once, A look of dazzling fire Eye to eye to mine, fixed. Then close! O God, they close Forever, and the lamps of Love are screened. Thy form Is motionless, the flesh Is dead; thy soul is gone To Heaven with thine eyes! John E. Pierce, 1927. 3-1 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Back row (loft to ri«ht): Alice 12. Ayes. Marie E.

A Lesson Taught by Experience By Thelma Magoon, '29 This summer I had the opportunity to work in a drug store which was located in the heart of the White Mountains. From the store 1 could see Mount Wash- ington, the highest peak f the Presidential Range. Around about are probably ten mountains, all of which are large, leaving the town in which the store is situ- ated in a valley. The valley is very dry in the sum- mer as the rain clouds divide and go each side of the mountains. Unless it rains for miles around the val- ley gets no rain. One Sunday the druggist whom I worked for had a pile of boxes and waste in the back yard. There had not been rain for a month, but as it was not breezy he thought it best to burn up the rubbish. As soon as he had lit it, a strong breeze came up. Discover- ing that the blaze had got beyond his control he called the people and me to help extinguish the fire. Now there are people who talk and say: “If I had an occa- sion to be near a fire and was asked to help put it out 1 would do so and so.” Well, that is just what I had always said. But, alas, t was paralyzed. I didn't know which way to turn or what to grab. The strong wind was blowing the flames nearer the store every moment. While I was standing there thinking other people were in action. Finally I seized a basin but (Continued on Page 15) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 15 With Our Teachers During Vacation MKgBHpnT is interesting to see in how many dif- gSjYl Kmfil ferent ways our teachers spent their sum- mer. Some devoted their time to study, others P yed and enjoyed their leisure, some traveled extensively and others stayed at home to rest. Nevertheless we know that each one returned to school rested and with greater energy, new ideas and new experiences to aid us in this coming year. Mr. Avery attended the National Education Conven- tion and the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadel- phia. Afterward he went to a summer camp in Edge- mere, Penn.

A LESSON LAUGHT BY EXPERIENCE (Continued from Page 14) when turning the faucet to fill the basin with water not a drop came. Others were drawing water else- where and the water pressure was so low that 1 was unable to get any. Just as the blaze was reaching the house some one ran down cellar and grabbed some wet burlaps, which are used for covering ice, and threw them in front of the blaze, thus saving the store. Even if I were unable to be of any assistance, 1 learned the value of presence of mind in an emergency. 16 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ( LASS NOTES 1927 Robert L. Stephens, Editor Room 102 Myron Fisher is by far the most popular boy in this room. '1 bus far he has been voted Radiator represen- tative, physical training leader and room proctor. We heartily congratulate him. Room 102 is honored this year with the presence of Joseph Corish, circulating manager of the Radia- tor; Wilbur Irving, president of the Players' Club; Richard Finn, track and football star, and John Pierce, president of the Literary Club and Poetry editor of the Radiator. In III History-D: One boy made the casual remark that in early Virginia they had several massacres, and one day Bacon started a rebellion! There was a young fisher named Fisher, Who fished on the edge of a fissure, When a fish with a grin Pulled the fisherman in, Now they’re fishing the fissure for Fisher. Heard in III English-D:— C r—sh: “Perhaps the fact that Boswell clung to Johnson as he did may be explained by his being of Scotch parentage.” Room 103 We wish to draw your attention to Room 103 as the home office of part of the Traffic Squad. The change of seats from the back of the room to the extras is just a part of our training. Soon we shall all be in the back of the room (?). Did you notice the way all the boys are falling—for the oiled floors? Music as an art is appreciated, but during practice periods in Room 3 we of 103 fail to agree with the author of “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” Ask A—m—S—i—r— why she has so many “study periods” in her home room during Junior bookkeep- ing. If the saying “Laugh and grow plump” is true, we should see a much larger G—1—t J- n -s. Room 103 certainly has some celebrities this year. We proudly acknowledge that we have the chief and also the secretary of the Traffic Squad in our posses- sion, as well as seven or eight other members. The year 1027 promises to be very enjoyable. When banking starts, we’re going to show Room 110 that we are capable of being 100 per cent, bankers. Room 110 We have the honor of having Edward Bergen, cap- tain of the football team, in our room. Other students in this room who are striving for a position on the team are Hallion, Macfarlane, DeSilva, Ilassett, Merry, Boygatti and Sanborn. With 100' always in mind we hope to go through our Senior year with flying colors. Room 114 School celebrities in 114: The leader of the Sopho- more Girls’ Glee Club, Leona Dunham; Kathryn Mur- phy. the assistant editor of the Radiator, and Fran- ces Waugh, the Exchange editor; Nelson King, who has been chosen baseball manager of the new team; Lincoln Nason, leader of the second orchestra. We have several members on the Traffic Squad: Lincoln Nason, Frances Waugh, Robert Watts, Harry Seymour, Carleton Ripley and Lewis Tuttle. Our room is also well represented in the musical groups, in the Girls’ Athletic Association, in the Liter- ary Club, the Sketch Club, and the Debating Club. James Bickford has made the football team this year. Our room officials are: Lincoln Nason, room treas- urer; Evelyn Robinson, assistant treasurer; Aubrey Fritz and Alice Hurley, physical training leaders, and Lewis Tuttle, room representative, and Carleton Rip- ley, proctor. Our room mate, Rora Melville, recently saved the day for the Senior Class in singing. When confronted with the fact that there was no pianist, she volun- teered to play for the class. We doubt that many other rooms, if any, can equal such a record and we are proud of it. Room 115 Room 115 is well represented in school activities. Marion McCarthy is exercise leader of the girls and also leader of the Senior Girls’ Glee Club. Marie Mac- Intyre is chairman of the Poetry Club. Jason Nourse is a member of the chess and tennis teams, a two- letter man. James Carney is our distinguished proc- tor. Peter A. Bertocci is treasurer of the Webster De- bating Society. Betty Russell is secretary of the Sketch Club. Robert Thomas was our Junior Class treasurer. William McCarthy and Francis Carrol rep- resent us on the football team. The pupils of Room 115 wish to express their sorrow and regret for the death of Mr. Wilkins, one of the school’s finest teachers. His going is a personal loss to- us. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATO I 17 Wanted: Mascot for 115. So far one dog and one cat have applied for the position. The more the mer- rier. Wright Bertoni Lavers Ellis U Ellis McCarthy Santos Thomas Ellis I Santos Andleman Nourse Gilbert Nangler Ellis Sherman Sheldon Ordway Although U and I are synonymous—we are the im- portant factors in carrying on this work. Room 121 Room 121, formerly a Sophomore room, is now being occupied by a class of very industrious Seniors. The class has elected as proctor, John Ramsey; as Radiator representative, Leo Lapidus. The two phys- ical training leaders are Anthony Sousa and Dorothea Monahan. Room 121 is very proud of the fact that it has four members on the football team, namely, Stanley White, tackle; Oliver Sinclair, tackle; Anthony Sousa, half- back, and Isadore Isenstadt, quarterback. Among the class members we find Frank FI well, who was our Junior editor. Room 121 is most fortunate in having Miss Todd as a home room teacher, who has charge of the Girls’ Glee Club. So the Seniors of Room 121, especially the girls, expect to become very musical. Room 122 Room 122 had a regular family group before the Cohen sisters and the two Alice Johnsons left us for Room 102. We have still two pairs of twins. What other room can equal this record? Ruth Kimpton has recently been appointed to lead the Girls’ Bugle and Drum Corps. Jennie Gilbert was unanimously elected physical training leader of Room 123. Anna CannifT was appointed bank treasurer, and Ruth Kimpton, assistant treasurer. Room 12-1 What do you think of a boy who says he was sick the day before, and then presents a bill the size of which makes Mrs. Mathews gasp to pay for his sales- manship cover? Suspicious?? We agree with Miss B— it was fortunate that Miss Wel--h got an obedient Ford. Must have understood “hoss” talk. People, go to the football game or Mr. Pearson will lose that much envied voice. Ask Bel—e Pc it what E -i—t— II—1 thinks of people who don’t know what to do with a receipt. Did it ever occur to you why Oliver Cromwell didn’t pick a square-head for a supporter instead of a Round- head ? 1928 Ernest D. Sackett, Editor The reason you have no inkwell is because they in- tended to build a new school last summer. Now is the time to think how you felt at the end of “Last year,” Satis sapentibus. At last we are Juniors. How insignificant are those Sophomores! The Juniors are sorry to announce that the elevator is temporarily out of order. So Sophomores must walk. After climbing the extra flight of stairs, we think that the Sophomores should be presented with third- floor home rooms. The only advantage of the third floor is that we can look down on the rest of the school. Remember, Juniors, the school has a trophy cab- inet. Let’s help fill it. The reason the Romans were so rugged was because when they had mastered their language they could stand anything. Bill S—11—o n, the big Junior boy: “What kind of ice cream is this?” Girl at counter: I really don’t know.” B. S.: “Say. kid, you missed your calling. You should work in ‘Child’s’, all they know is the price.” Room 303 Mr. S.: “What state do you live in?” Margaret D.: “United States.” Dorothy R.: “And the whole class laughed.” Miss B. (in Players’ Club try-outs): “The girls worked harder to be Shebas than the boys to be Sheiks.” All the boys did was to look natural. To the Sophomores Dear little Sophomores, don’t you cry, You’ll be Juniors by and by. We congratulate Miss B— on knowing a sheik when she sees one. William Sullivan of 323 is the new- found sheik, girls. 18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Room 305 George Goodwin, of the football squad, makes his headquarters in 305. We have two members of the traffic squad, Dorothy Gordon and Ernest Morris. Room 306 We have among our number one member of the Rad- iator staff, one traffic squad member and the president of the Debating Club. A campaign for class notes has been raging for the last week. We believe that if all the notes written during study periods should be collected there would be more than enough. Room 308 Mr. F----- is learning shorthand from Miss G----. Next year we will get in on the ground floor. Room 309 We arc proud that we have three members of the band and orchestra. We are well represented in the traffic squad with three members. Room 310 Miss G: “Were you here before the bell stopped ring- ing?” .1. G. (panting): “Yes! I got here when it was still ringing.” Miss G.: “Oh! That was only the vibration in the? walls!” Three flights of stairs to the lunch room! Those delightful odors from the chemistry labs.! When the room clock is wrong (4 out of 5 times), we can watch the city hall clock for the ending of the periods. Room 311 We have all spent an enjoyable summer and are- ready for work. Room 323 Room 323 is proud to have two of its members iit the Players’ Club. A certain boy claims that his orange silk handker- chief is a shower not a blower. Room 326 Room 326 has started the Junior year of 1926 witlto a membership of 38 pupils. Room 329 The pupils of Room 329 welcome our new teacher,. Mrs. DeWolfe, and hope that she is here to stay. Here's hoping Room 329 never follows, but leads. Edward (“Bud”) Ewell, a very good prospect of thc- football squad, is showing good work, and we are hop- ing that he will have a good season. 1929 Robert Forbes, Editor Room 21 Room 21 is the stamping ground of Malcolm Mac- J.ean, a human flag pole, who was on the Northeast- ern football team. George Briggs, also a skyscraper, was on the West- ern Patrol and was vice-president of the Western De- bating Society. Warren Peterson was president of the Travel Club at the Northeastern. From the same school comes Helen Bare, who was treasurer of the Shorthand Club. The Civics Class at the Northeastern had as its president and vice-president Catherine Ayer and Doris Began respectively. Clyde Collins was vice-president of two clubs, the Mythology Club and a Civics Class. Room 29 Our room is striking a spark of illumination even though it is located in a secluded section of the build- ing. The local wit and humor is greatly advanced, but our classes are also enlightened by unusual intelli- gence and knowledge. We are striving to avoid low grades in our studies and to bring Honor and Progress” upon the fair name of the Sophomore Class and the Somerville High School. Room 122 Room 122 is aiming toward the distinction of being: the neatest room in the building. Stanley Robinson has been elected proctor. The- physical exercise leaders are Clara Frevort, George- Stevenson and Arthur Townsend. Room 128 Room 128 has been striving for perfect attendance- and hopes to succeed soon. Heard in the classroom:— Teacher: “Silence is golden.” Pupil: “That’s why I am a rich man.” Room 201 Room 201 is proud to have among its members Thurston Sumner, president of the Class of 1926 at the Western. The room also contains four members of last year’s staff of the Western Star and one member of the staff of the Nor’easter.

At Chartreuse I was rewarded with a visit to an old monastery founded in the eleventh century and had the opportunity to see the cells of the old monks. K12AR VI E V OF NOT It 10 DA.VIK. I A It IS. SHOWING FLYING RI'TTKKSSIOS After leaving Chartreuse I went to Grenoble, the cap- ital of the French Alps and a famous mecca for for- eign students. Here again I mounted to heights above, going up by means of a funicular railway to Saint Nizicr, which is at an altitude of 3,840 feet. The next morning before leaving Grenoble I visited the muse- ums and I saw where Bayard, the chevalier sans peur et sans reproche, lies buried in an old church. The next day I traveled on to southern France. Here the blue skies and the balmy air were most noticeable. Along the way the olives and grapes were growing in abundance. Here, too, could be seen the yew trees and reed fences to protect the crops against the mis- tral, a destructive wind. Avignon, where the Palace of the Popes is to be seen, was most fantastic in a southern moonlight. The Roman remains were best seen in Nimes. The Maison Carrce is the most perfect Roman temple in existence, while the old Arena re- minds one of the Coliseum of Rome. At Carcassonne 10 with its old fortress as in the crusades, I walked along the enormous walls and went in the old towers from which the arrows used to be shot down on the besiegers. Luchon was the starting point for the trip to the Pyrenees. I went by auto bus to the Pic du Midi, over 8,000 feet high. The view was beyond description, yet to me snow-capped Mont Blanc could not be sur- passed. Lourdes, the shrine of the lame, halt and blind, was most interesting. Arriving just before the great pilgrimage, I saw the first hospital trams bring the sick. I had traveled far, but my journey was not to be finished until a tour through the chateau country was taken. Starting from Tours, a visit of over ten chateaux was made. The old castles, with their tapes- tries, paintings and old furniture, were beautiful be- yond description. At Blois is the most celebrated chateau. Here three centuries were represented, tha; of Catherine de Medicis, Francois premier, and Henri trois. Francois liked the salamander, and you see decorations of it everywhere on the walls, doors, and staircases. Henry the Third liked porcupines; so he put them where Francis forgot to put the sala- manders. Catherine de Medicis’ rooms were most in- teresting, especially the one in which were seen the secret panels where she hid her poisons. Other cas- tles were famous for this or that, but I would tire you if I attempted to describe them all. We returned to Paris from our tour of southern France. We had seen a lot of that interesting coun- try, but not all; the rest is for another time. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The first meeting of the Girls’ Athletic Association was held September 22 in Room 122 at 2 P. M. There were approximately one hundred and twenty-five girls at this meeting. Miss Burke, our supervisor, discussed the different sports open to the girls. At the next meeting, held September 28, the following officers of the year 1926-27 were elected: President, Helen Streh- lis; vice-president, Priscilla Lowell; secretary, Helen Chiesa; corresponding secretary, Frances Avanzino. Numerous sports will be open to the girls such as field hockey, swimming, tennis, and basketball. Field hockey will begin Friday, October 8, at I)il- boy Field. Miss Y’iano, a Sargent graduate, and mem- ber of the All-American Hockey team that played at. Philadelphia a few years ago, is to coach the girls. Swimming began October 6 at the Y. M. C. A. under the coaching of Miss Hubbard. Tennis will begin just as soon as courts can be ob- tained for playing. After Thanksgiving basketball will begin at the Bingham School. All girls arc urged to come out for at least one sport to meet the lack of a gymnasium at the school, as some exercise is essential to good health.

We were on a pic- nic down by Miller’s Lake. She was all rigged up. Miss Blake was, painted and powdered, and she’d been to the city to have her hair curled. She was a sight anyway. But that day, oh, boy! Anyhow, several girls and women were talking with her and we kids were just drifting around. Someone said one of the gills was pretty or something and Miss Blake, look- ing like a relic of the ‘Seven Years’ War’ said, as sh� gave her hair a dignified pat: - “ ‘Why, anyone can be pretty if she wants to.’ ‘‘I remember Kenneth’s eyes widened innocently (he was only a little shaver 'bout eight), and he asked:— “‘Didn’t you want to be pretty, Miss Blake?’ “The look she gave him would have cut through an ocean fog. “ ‘Well, Doris, the rest of the morning I was too busy digesting bean soup and hard tack, and helping keep the ship off a bed of rock to think of the ravishing Miss Blake.” • Lawrence’s lodge gave a hilarious celebration when Lawrence was promoted to the rank of second mate. He was a born leader, he could rule himself and he had the ability to direct others. The very first of November we were awakened in the night by a loud, penetrating ring from our door- bell. It was a telegram for Dad. It was snowing wildly—the first storm of the season, and screaming gales blew around the house—extraordinary even in SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 23 our “down Maine” town, at such an early date. Dad stood there in the lamp light, in the little cold hall, with the envelope in his unsteady hand. “Open it, Doris.” He was that same ashen color that he had been only once before that 1 can remem- ber. I couldn’t read it to him—but he knew! The blurring words read:— “The Dorinda Mary sunk. Entire crew lost, includ- ing Kenneth Watson.” Ken dead! Dad raised his arms above his head .and everything we had feared before came then. Daddy had already borne too much; his mind broke! He recognized no one, and hour after hour he sat looking into space. Our only hope, the doctor said, lay in the possi- bility of his knowing the other boys when they re- turned. But our expectations, however slender, were un- grounded, for though my brothers came home in the early summer, they were strangers to Sam Watson. Once when Ken’s name slipped from our guarded lips, he straightened in his chair and said: “Ken, Ken- neth?” and then slipped back into his bewilderment. In the silence of the night when the waves could be plainly heard dashing on the break-water, I could hear Dad pacing to and fro in his room. August came. We had promised a neighbor some goose eggs and I trudged down the sun-burnt road to deliver them. I became aware of someone running be- hind me, but just as I started to turn, to satisfy my curiosity, two hands gripped my arms. I swung around, and looked into a pair of the darkest brown eyes. Curly golden-brown hair waved down over a tanned forehead. “Ken!” “Same old boat, Dorry,” he said grinning. Father was sitting in his chair on the piazza, rocking slightly back and forth. His chin rested on his chest, his eyes were closed. Ken stood on the porch a few feet from him and waited for Dad to look up, but he rocked, rocked on. I slipped out of sight into the hall, then Ken spoke, very, very softly—hushed:— “Dad!” The rocking ceased! Slowly he raised his head and his eyes rested squarely on his son. He rose from his chair, still staring. “Kenneth, my boy,” he said, stumbling toward him. Kenneth caught him in his arms and his eyes were wet. In a moment Dad looked up and saw me in the doorway. “Dorry!” he questioned, dazed and confused. He turned back to Ken, then looked about him—at the summer sun shining on everything, at the greenness all around, at the field, filled with nearly grown corn. A bird trilled! Dad looked back at his boy and clung tighter to him. “Ken,” he said, “Ken, I guess I—I must have- been—asleep.” Athletics SOMERVILLE 7—SAINT MARY’S 0 Somerville won the opening game at Dilboy Field on September 25, beating Saint Mary’s High of Waltham. The weather was extremely hot and uncomfortable for football. Somerville had the ball three times within Saint Mary’s ten-yard line, but could not score. The touchdown was scored in the first period. Saint Mary’s punted from near their goal line; the teams exchanged punts evenly. A penalty, a first down from line rushes, a long run by Charlie Finn, Somerville's flashy half- back, put Somerville in a scoring position. Tom Mc- Govern went over the line for the only score. Good- win kicked the goal. Captain Bergen played a bril- liant game and shared the honors with Charlie Finn.

A thirty-yard run from midfield by Charlie Finn and two first downs on line rushes gave Goodwin a chance to go over for the touchdown. Goodwin kicked the goal. In the third period Providence scored on rushes by Gifford, Cuffec and Wood. Providence scored again in the final quar- ter on a long march down the field. A forward pass finally scored after Somerville held for three downs. Gifford, Cuffee, and Wood played well for the win- ners. Bergen, Ewell and Finn played best for Som- erville.

The Huttlestonian, Fairhaven High School. New Bed- ford, Mass.—Your paper is good, except that you have a scarcity of school news. The Assembler, Wrentham High School, Wrentham, Mass.—A good paper from start to finish. Let’s hear from you again. The Echo, Winthrop High School, Winthrop, Mass.— A newsy sheet. The Massachusetts Collegian, Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, Amherst, Mass.- -Your list of Fresh- men is very interesting to us as it contains the names of some of our graduates.

The Wyndonian, Windham High School, Williman- tic, Connecticut.—Your Senior number is very com- plete. The Nor’easter, Northeastern Junior High School, Somerville, Mass. -The cover design fits the name of your paper. The graduation number is very interest- ing. The Stikine Messenger, Wrangell High School. ASSEMBLY OF 1’KEPAKATORY courses The floor and balcony of the hall were filled with college, scientific and normal students. Mr. Avery emphasized the fact that hard work much be performed, as the requirements are becoming harder year by year. Students were turned away last year who had fulfilled the requirements of A and B work because of the great number who applied. Our principal believes that school should be considered as a contract to fulfill and that each day should be planned out so as to fulfill it. As all institutions are crowded, the slackers will be pushed out. Mr. Avery closed with the words, “As the l tbor so the Reward.” SOPHOMORE ASSEMBLY On Tuesday, September 14, 192G, the Sophomore ('lass of the Somerville High School had its first as- sembly. From their reports we judge that they were Wrangell, Alaska. A good paper for its size, but we suggest a few pictures. Netop, Turners Falls High School, Turners Falls. Mass. -The idea of a cross-word puzzle class prophecy is very unique. The paper is well arranged and a lot of credit is due your editors. The Authentic, Stoneham High School, Stoneham, Mass. The stories and poems are snappy. Cartoons and cuts would add to your paper immensely. The Brownie, B. F. Brown Junior High School, Fitch- burg, Mass.- -Your cover design is very effective and attractive. The paper itself is “just great.” Come again! The Western Star, Western Junior High School, West Somerville, Mass.—Your 1926 Year Book is very well written. The accounts of various clubs help to make the paper interesting. The Noddler, East Boston High School, East Boston, Mass.—The cartoons in your graduation number are good; so is the whole paper. The Green and White, De I-a Salle College, Manila, P. I. -The Green and White is the best organized mag- azine we receive. All the departments are well taken care of. Come often! The Gleaner, Pawtucket High School, Pawtucket, R. I.—Your stories are interesting as far as they go, but a few more would add to the literary department. The Tattler” is very clever and gossipy. The Pad and Pencil, Chandler Secretarial School,. Boston, Mass.—You have a spicy paper; but where are your jokes? impressed by the smallness of the hall and the size of the class. The motto, “Honor and Progress,” attracted much notice. Mr. Avery gave a general talk on the lules of the school. The pupils were informed in re- gard to obtaining lunches, and general information was given about scholastic requirements for the year. Mr. Avery wished the pupils good luck as they set out on their work in the Somerville High School. The Boys’ and Girls’ Debating and Glee Clubs have all held their first meetings and are well under way. THE POETRY GROUP The Poetry Group commences its year with Marie MacIntyre as chairman; Georgina Morey, secretary, and Marion McCarthy and Peter Bertocci make up the program committee. With the success of the group foremost in mind, they cordially extend an invitation to you to be present at the next meeting, November 3, 1926. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 25 SOPHOMORE NOTES (Continued from Page 18) Room 206 From the Northeastern is the illustrious John Hayes, president of his Senior class, and Muriel Lowell, a gymnastic leader. We have Amedoe Boudreau, the president of he)1 class at the Southern, and John Niles, leader of the Southern's most noteworthy physical training class. First Tramp (looking at a passing limousine): “Gee, some people lead high lives.” Second Tramp (gazing up at an aeroplane circling overhead): “Yes, I should say so.” Heard in the Latin Class H. K. (reading a translation from Caesar): “And Orgetorix crossed the Rhone by means of a ‘Ford.’ ” Room 209 In sending forth the news of this room we find several interesting facts about members of our divis- ion. Margaret Leahy went to the Scsquicentennial Ex- position at Philadelphia this summer. She visited many historic spots in Philadelphia and ’New York. She returned via Albany and the Mohawk Trail. Priscilla Dunham was librarian of the orchestra at the Western for two years. At the performance of Shakespeare’s “Midsum- mer Night’s Dream,” presented at the Western last year, one of the leading parts, that of Titania, was played by Arline Drake. Sophia Sherman was pianist in the Southern ensem- ble, and now in the school orchestra. Our room is also represented in the orchestra by Priscilla Dunham and Ernest Meads. Our calisthenic leaders are George Flahive and Ernestine McLean; our proctor is Donald Tingley, and our Radiator representative is Chester Urbati. Heard in Spanish:— Teacher: “Ha vestido a Espana?” Pupil: “Shall I answer it?” As will be seen after reading the above, the boys of Room 209 are very modest and bashful. Room 210 With the help of Miss Saunders, teacher of Room 210, we hope to accomplish a great deal during the year and reflect credit upon our school. Charles Quinn is the proctor of our room, and Frank Van Ummersen is our Radiator representative. Joseph Re. who was an important member of the orchestra at the Southern, represents us in the school orchestra. Room 211 The pupils of this room extend their sincerest sym- pathy to Miss Fury, who has so recently lost her father. We are proud to have among us a few important personages from the Junior High Schools. They are:— William Ingalls, who was class treasurer, and also a drill leader of a winning group, from the North- eastern. Elizabeth Hardin and Thelma Kelley, who received honors for perfect attendance at the same school. Charles Byrne, a player on the baseball team at the Southern. Alfred Luppi, who was captain of the Western Junior High football team. Donald Cochran, who was a member of the West- ern football team. Paul Folsom, who is noted for having attended all school dances at the Western. Lottie Flett, who was assistant chief of the West- ern Patrol. Mary Finn from Saint Ann’s Junior High School, who is noted for being the school’s sweetest singer. Heard in Geometry:- Mr. H.: “Why are you not at the mass meeting?” T. H.: “Because I love my teacher.” Room Notes of 213 Who’s Who? Nelson Maskell—our agent. He’s the hard-hearted collector of Radiator subscriptions Betty Tufts—our athlete. In basket ball she is sure to be there. Robert Graham—our manufacturer. He makes mili- tary uniforms, especially soldier hats. Doris Spellman—our belle. She is short, but sweet. Frances O’Hca—our dancer. Mary Lawless—our scholar. Frances Wright—our busiest girl. William Downey—our room proctor. We welcome to our school Esgouhee Nalbandian, who comes from New Jersey. We hope that she will like our progressive school and celebrated city. Room 2H Room 211 has been busy with electing and the re- sults are herewith given. Our proctor is Dorothy West. As Radiator representative we have chosen Fred Sullivan. Gerard Tucks and Anita Sumner will lead us in calisthenics. Room 213 Pupil (who has not listened to the bulletin): “How long will the assembly last?” Teacher: “The bulletin says: ‘A short time.’ Do you know how long that is?” Pupils of room 213 have found their way about the building, although it has been with a little difficulty. Two of our members, Hazel DeBay, of the South- ern, and Morris Duchin, of the Northeastern, were members of their respective school orchestras for 20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR three years, and we hope that they will make good in our school orchestra. Edwin Peterson was chosen as a calisthenic leader, as he has had experience in years past. He is also experienced in football, having been on the North- eastern team, and is now on our squad. Among our members is Thelma Curtin, who was president of the Northeastern Librarian Club. Arthur Goodfellow, prominent in clubs at the West- ern and also in physique, is our proctor. His name will help him get acquainted with everyone. Room 222 Although Room 222 is one of the largest rooms in the building, its members hope to be, each and every one, subscribers to the Radiator. Nearly every pupil is looking forward to the meeting of his club. Room 222 We have been busy lately in electing pupils for certain positions. Dorothy Crane is proctor; Ettorc Raratta is Radiator representative, and Blanche Payne and Edna Holmes are calisthenic leaders. Room 221 The crown of “Seniority” has fallen from our heads now that we have left Junior High School and we enter the Senior High School, to take our places as humble Sophomores. We are happy to find ourselves being welcomed each morning by Miss Quigley, and knowing the quality of work that she expects from us, we unite in our aim to make Room 224 the finest of all and to live up to the motto which meets us everywhere:— “Honor and Progress.” Room 226 Girls! There is a quiet, peaceful room in the East build- ing known as Room 226. It consists of thirty-four girls. We do not feel the least bit lonesome, as Miss Ncwborg makes things pleasant for us. Audrey Anderson was elected Radiator representa- tive; Marie Accolla, room proctor; Audrey Anderson and Olive Scott, exercise leaders. We are well acquainted with the school now, and we hope we shall do some good work during the year. Room 229 Noise seems to be the main feature of Room 229. Alice Haley is in the Sophomore Glee Club and Erma Bowan plays the drum. Earl Summers, newly-elected proctor, is quite skillful with the harmonica and the violin. Stanley Miller is on the Traffic Squad. Quite an honor for a small (?) boy. Daniel Gilmore finds his expenses quite heavy this year. “Please put that gum in the waste basket,” is frequently heard. We presume that most of these vice-presidents wish to rise in office, and we wish them luck. THE LITERARY CLUB Tlie Literary Club has started another year and we hope to have as successful a year as the previous ones. The departments have organized and officers look ahead to a very busy year. THE WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY The Webster Debating Society held its first meeting September 21, 1926, and elected the following officers for the year: Lawrence Capodilupo, president; A. Douglas Finley, vice-president; Louis Tuttle, secretary, and Peter Bertocci, treasurer. At the meeting of October 5, 1926, Daniel Cotter, Joseph Gough, James Meaney, and James Murphy, members of last year’s graduating class, were elected honorary members of the society. The society lost ten members by graduation last year. The vacancies will be filled from the three classes. Pupils interested in debating may apply for membership any Tuesday afternoon at 1.45 in Room 29. WINTER MOON I love the moon in spring-time when It shows through misted skies, And shines on wet and gleaming streets That come when nature cries. I love the moon in summer as It cools a heated earth, And turns aside the sighing for Relieved and joyous mirth. It’s beautiful in autumn with The air so bright with frost, Yet there is something missing, there’s A beauty that is lost. For it is in the winter that It sheds upon the snow A blue-white tinge, and stillness, then The moon is best you know. There's a calm that soothes the weary heart When air is tinged with blue, And all that’s black is blue-black, the Bare trees and shadows too. Then one thing stands clear by contrast with The others by its side. I love the moon in winter and It cannot be denied. Alice L. Dunlap, 1927.

He comes to us from Manchester, N. H., where he had been in charge of music in the schools since 1918. He is a native of Hyde Park and received his gram- mar and gh school education in that city. He is also a graduate of the New York University of Music ami he American Institute of Normal Method. He has been chorister in several churches in Greater Baton and he was principal of the Man- chester ev.- iing high school, which is the largest in the state of New Hampshire. He taught in Revere for five years and was president of the Teachers’ Club of that city. He is one of the founders of the Massachusetts Teachers’ Federation and has been in charge of the monthly publication of the organiza- tion. He was a delegate to the Eastern Music Super- visors’ Conference and he was its fifth president in 1922-1923. We, as a school, are glad to have Mr. Whittemore with us, not just because of his splendid record in the past but because our short acquaintance has al- ready led us to admire him and to count him as a friend.

The t • Thanksgiving celebration held on the North Americ;.- continent was on the shores of Newfound- land on May 27, 1578. The service was conducted by the t'. ercnd Wolpall for the safe voyage of his crew and -'«ip across the sea. The . � ;id event of this sort was held at the Pop- ham C.r.- v, at Sagadahoc, Maine, in 1607. These were services - elv for the purpose of praising God for his many benefits and were conducted in an atmos- phere of gravity and solemnity. Now t! true origin of Thanksgiving as a day of prayer a. i rejoicing is attributed to Governor Brad- ford of Massachusetts Bay Colony. The day set apa : v His Excellency was December 13, 1621 (old sty; in deep gratitude for the plenteous harvest which ha-t been preceded by a period of depression. Govern� - Bradford ordered four men to go into the woods i bring back sufficient game to celebrate this great eve '. The sportsmen returned with enough game, pri ' ipaliy turkey, to supply the colony for a week of feasting. At the ci st gray dawn a cannon which crowned the hilltop !� led a salute to the rising sun. A solemn processi • (f that Pilgrim band wound its way to the meeting h ise, three abreast. Elder Brewster walked beside the wearing his long black robes, which were exceeding . befitting on this occasion. The Sergeant- in-Coun- •; and the Governor brought up the rear. This on -■ lay lengthened into three. Captain Stand- ish put his soldiers through various drills, the chil- dren play • l games, and the elders sang psalms. In the year 1684 Thanksgiving day became an an- nual event in the colonies. Shortly before the Revolu- tion, how . r, the observance slackened again, and it was not u til December 18, 1777, when Washington issued a Thanksgiving proclamation, that it was re- vivexl. The i again we are indebted to the persever- ance of Mi . Sarah Hale, who standardized the holi- day. Many changes can be noted in the celebrations of that day from the earliest times to the present. In the eighteenth century the children were the class who celebrated with games. During the nineteenth century the famous parade of “Horribles” could be seen, which gradually took on a political aspect. Then to-day, though different, we still have our play, our games, yes,—as a general iule Thanksgiving day morning finds us at a foot- ball game. May each one of us pause and give a little consider- ation to the many things we should be thankful for. A good government, a good home, a good school of- fering us the best possible advantages. Are we thankful for them? Look about us, thousands of destitutes and unfortunates thankful for every kind act shown them, and going through each day smiling. To be happy is to live, and living in its truest sense is the most perfect enjoyment to be found. On Tuesday, November 2, we had the good for- tune to be present at a meeting of the Webster De- bating Society. The meeting was exceedingly im- pressive due to the quiet, notable manner in which it was conducted. The society may well be proud of the debaters on its roster, who are carrying on a task which reflects great credit on the Somerville High School. It clearly shows the time and efforts of its moderator and of- ficers in placing it in the position it now holds. May it receive the loyal support of every pupil at all its functions, and may this third year of its ex- istence prove to be a most profitable and success- ful one. The Radiator extends its congratulations to the officers of the Senior and Junior classes. May their year be a prosperous one in the history of the class. Striving, striving to be just a little better than the preceding one, will thereby establish “Honor and Prog- ress.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 Reward By Mary Pineo ELL, so long. Bob. I’ll see you tonight and don’t forget tomorrow morning,” called Coach Drusell to Bob Copeland, star player and captain of the Bain- bridge Tech football team, as the last afternoon practice ended before the big game with Carlton University. So far this year Bain- bridge had walked over all who had come their way, but tomorrow they would face another championship team and an entrant squad for the interscholastic cup. To the coach’s reminder, Bob replied: “I’m not on the scrub team and tomorrow’s practice is only for the scrubs, in case they’ll have to play in the big game.” “But Bob,” remonstrated the coach, “you need the practice as well as any of the scrubs.” There was al- ways this murmuring on Bob’s part against doing the little things that help so much in mastering greater objects. Secretly, Drusell hoped that some day Bob would learn this lesson. The final remark of his coach made Bob feel a sense of resentment towards his instructor. As a freshman, Bob had reported for practice every day and had shown great promise. His partial success had encouraged him to enter the game with all his soul, and his energy and ability won for him the distinc- tion of being the first sophomore to make the Varsity team. During his junior year he worked with the desire to be captain urging him on. Now, in his senior year, he seemed to attain a distinct air of superiority, and when there were no further honors to work for, he basked in the light of his present glory. That evening Dorothy Drusell looked out through her window into a night of quiet and peace. A tiny star winked at her from its station of height. From the garden beneath her window came the perfume of the flowers. Dot’s mind was filled with expectation for the re- ception and dance of the opposing teams, which was to take place that evening. Of course Dorothy was hoping for victory on the Bainbridge side; not only because it was the team that her father was coaching, but who was captain?—None other than her true friend and comrade, Robert Copeland. The horn of Bob’s “flivver” in the street interrupted her reveries. “Be ready in a minute, Bob,” she called from her window. The hall was crowded when they arrived. The Carl- ton players, as hosts, were receiving their rivals, the Bainbridge Tech team. The music was entrancing, the lights dazzling and the air seemed permeated with good-fellowship. About the middle of the evening’s revelry and upon the persistent urgings of members of the Carlton squad to partake of a hip flask, Bob became a bit too “happy”—at least too much so for the respect of both his coach and the latter’s daughter. After a few minutes the coach drew Bob aside and in a pleading yet disgusted tone warned: “Cut the drinking, Bob. You’ve a hard fight tomorrow, don’t forget.” Bob’s temper flared as he thought: “I'm free, white, and twenty-one. Why can’t I do as I please?” As the party broke up amid cheery good-bys, Bob walked over to a group laughing and chattering around Dot. As he watched her a few moments, her winsome- ness and charming manner attracted him more than ever before. She gaily chatted on, and tossed her dark curly bobbed head. He was suddenly brought to his senses, however, by her cold voice saying: I’m sorry. Bob, but father said that he would take me home. Good night.” Bob suddenly realized what his evening of revelry had brought for him. The sudden wave of remorse that swept over him was soon banished by a deeper sense of resentment towards Coach Drusell and a full appreciation of his own worth and independence. Watching Dot disappear through the outer hall on her father’s arm, Bob resolved to avenge, in some manner, his coach. Thus it was, that at a final round- up of the Carlton fellows, Bob, in a half-dazed con- dition, repeated the signals of his own team to the Carl- ton players. This was what the Carlton squad were hoping for most. Day dawned bright and clear the next morning, a perfect day for the game. Robert Copeland awoke; his mind had cleared. Naturally, his first thoughts were of the game. Then, something made him start. Had it been a dream, or was it true? Yes, he could even remember the vigorous slap on the back Ted Holmes from Carlton had given him, after he had told what had, before, been the most secret and sacred knowledge of his team—their signals. Bob was like a man awakening from a delirium, during which he had committed a terrible crime. At first he felt that he could never confess his deed to his coach. Yet it seemed out of the question that he should go on and play the game that afternoon, with defeat staring him in the face. For many mo- ments he could form his mind to no conclusion. He was suffering a mental panic and his will struggled for an outcome. But kind Fate lent a hand and guided his will to the right side of the question. Dorothy Drusell was having breakfast that morning with her father. A worried expression had settled on his brow and not a word had passed between them, ex- cept for a few necessary remarks. It was quite evi- dent that their thoughts were centered on the same subject, namely, Robert Copeland. Breakfast over, Coach Drusell was preparing to leave for the practice (Continued on Page 38) 36 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Red Taffeta and a Pink Rose By Margaret Lacey, ’28 T was springtime and the world passed by the notion counter of Rosenberg’s De- partment Store, little dreaming that the girl who stood there, gray eyes dreamy and youthful face aglow under the dark hair carefully arranged in bangs and curls, was a princess in disguise. Nor did Imogene from “the gloves and hosiery” regard Maisie in this light. She expressed her opinion at length one Saturday noon as both prepared to depart on a half-holiday that a magnanimous Rosenberg had bestowed on his grateful employees. “Honest,” she told Maisie, “you gimme a pain. Here you go ’round half-cracked, goofy over some notion of being one of the four hundred—an uppity—oh, my!” She dabbed her powder puff with unusual savageness. “It’d be different if you dressed the part, but that” —she eyed the other girl’s dingy serge, disgustedly, “you’ll never fool the public in them rags!” Maisie’s cheeks reddened under the color she was carefully applying. “I—I’ve been saving up for a new dress. A swell one! I’m gonna buy it today. An’ I didn’t mean to be ritzy. Imogene, only—only there’s more in the world than Rosenberg’s and fifteen dol- lars a week.” Imogene groaned and Maisie added hastily: “But wait ’til you see the dress. I’ve got it all picked out. You’ll think I’m a Vanderbilt in it. Wait an’ see!” She laughed gay-heartedly, and she was still happy as she threaded her way through the noon-day throng. In the pocket book she held tightly clasped, were six hairpins, one compact, a lipstick, a copy of “How .a Lady Acts on Any Occasion” and—fifteen dollars. Fifty cents put aside every week (even though “the old-age fund” suffered) equalled, in exactly thirty weeks, fifteen precious dollars. Ma just couldn’t see why any seventeen-year-old girl should want more than one “Sunday best” dress, even though said dress was three years old and had four ice cream spots. Gingham and serge she supplied readily, having been known to have paid ten dollars on one occasion— and continually reminding Maisie of that fact till long afterwards. All unkind thoughts fled from Maisie’s heart as she unwrapped the layers of tissue paper with trembling fingers, locked in her room that afternoon. She spread the dress out on the bed. Fold on fold of shimmering red taffeta with an enormous pink rose, shouted ecstatically to a blinded world. To Maisie it seemed to brighten the room and transform the shabby furniture and faded wallpaper to rosewood .and rich tapestries. She wore the dress to church the next morning and her head was high and her cheeks glowing as she felt the admiring and envious eyes that followed her brightly-clad figure down the aisle to the very front row. Her mother eyed the taffeta with disapproval and observed with an obvious sniff that she knew a girl as’d rue the day she wasted good money on foolish fripperies. But Pa added, consolingly, that she was the pret- tiest girl in town, the image of her Ma and (with a wink) not a whit flightier than she was once upon a time. And later, behind the door, and safe from Ma’s sharp eyes, he presented her with two dollars. That afternoon, when the dishes were done and the children safely off to Sunday school, she set out, down the narrow, noisy street, past the tenement blocks and dirty stores and through the city park. The benches here were filled and she stopped for a moment to watch an organ grinder and a monkey. Far over in a shady coiner she could see a poor, bent figure, “Old Danny” the neighborhood called him; homeless, friendless—Maisie’s heart felt a pang of pity. But Youth faces the sunlight and the shadows are dim and far away; she turned northward with eager steps and emerged on the boulevard. Here the streets were wide, tree-shaded, and green lawns and flowered terraces sloped upward to where palace-like mansions stood half-concealed by poplar and elm. Maisie’s heart was thumping joyously be- neath the red taffeta. She sat on a stone wall where a winding driveway led up between rows of tulips, the pretended princess, for an hour, of a fairy palace. It was Mavtime and Maisie could smell apple blos- soms in some neighboring orchard. She drummed her heels on the wall contentedly. A princess—and a princess’s dress—and a palace all her own—. A decrepit, rattling Ford passed and four boys simul- taneously recognized their prey from afar. “Hey! cutie!” they shouted gleefully, “Wanta ride?” Maisie jumped up, cheeks aflame; then she turned and fled, sobs choking her. Romance was gone and with it a castle, a princess and a beautiful dream. A little girl called Maisie in a cheap taffeta dress and her cheeks and lips too red, began to cry and teal’s blinding her, she hurried on until she found herself in the park. Suddenly she came upon old Danny; he dropped his stick and his poor trembling hands were groping for it. Maisie reached him quickly and put her strong young arm about his shoulders. It came to (Continued on Page 15) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT HISTORY AND GROWTH OF LIBRARIES By Alice L. Dunlap, Library Editor Palatial, white-stone buildings standing back from the noise and confusion of a busy thoroughfare. Build- ings surrounded by green, velvet-smooth lawns, well- cared-for shrubs, sparkling fountains and famed sculp- tures. Spacious rooms; their splendor perfected by wide marble stairways and painted masterpieces. Small wooden structures, grey painted and low-set in a tangle of long grasses and weeds. Eye-commanding architec- ture and wistful country houses—the public libraries of the world! Four thousand years ago Amil-anu, the first recorded librarian, presided over his clay tablets in a dormed and pillared temple in Babylonia, the Egyptian seat of the learned and literary. In 1600 B. C. libraries were first becoming prevalent. They were then a luxury of the wealthy and even the most prominent scholars were not permitted to take the manuscripts from the building. Early Greece took but a short step forward in the advancement of libraries. Even that of Aristotle con- tained only a few hundred rolls of papyrus. Rome encouraged little more than Greece. Her few collections were part of the plunder of war. By the fourth century there were twenty-eight public- libraries in Rome. In its infancy the office of libra- rian might be attained by one distinguished by his scholarship, and at a later date this position could be held only by one noted as an important public offi- cial. With the advent of the Christian religion came a new development of libraries. Each monastary con- tained a department of Christian writings. Constantine the Great founded one of the really important libraries of ancient times at Constant:- nople. It was destroyed by fire and many of the treasures which have come down to us only as mem- ories were part of the destruction. Among them was a manuscript of Homer, 120 feet long. The letters were cut from gold and placed upon a serpent’s skin. The libraries of present-day Europe owe much to Constantinople for their development. In England the library at the University of Cambridge has ex- isted since 1175. Germany’s library at Prague dates from 1348; that of Heidelberg from 1386. Many of the best equipped are in Germany and Austria. The first American library was presented to Hen- rico College, which was built by the Virginia colon- ists in 1621. Harvard College boasts of one founded in 1838. New York’s Public Library was built in 1754. During the year 1731 Benjamin Franklin founded a library in Philadelphia which was called “The mother of North American Subscription Libraries.” From that time on they became part of the poor man’s education and recreation. The Boston Public Library established in 1852 was for a number of years a leader in equipment and efficiency. It is still one of the most complete in the world. This subject cannot well be discussed without men- tion of the name of Andrew Carnegie. Wishing to present his wealth to a public organization, he considered the library worthy of the gift. Today there is scarcely a community that has not devised some sort of library. In the most desolated districts teams laden with books find their way along broken, rocky roads and distribute literature to those who must otherwise be deprived of good reading. We of Somerville are fortunate in the advantage the Public Library afTords us. There we are offered the opportunity to form book-acquaintances that will prove generous and loyal friends in years to come. From a leather-bound, gilt-edged biography one reader may gather the inspiration of another’s life to broaden and lighten his own existence. A volume on nature-study may bring the essence of beauty to some, and lift them from the sordidness of every-day existence. Is it a poem, the rhythmic flow of which sets your heart to singing, that gives you most liter- ary pleasure? Or is it a novel whose lovable, hu- man characters linger and live in your memory, that you prefer? At any rate the book-friend of your choice or mood is waiting for you upon the shelves of the Public Library. 38 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Smile again, dear heart, smile Once before the shadows Creep around my head and Blot the radiance of your Face from my last fond look. Smile, as you were wont when First we met and loved, and The shadows of this hour Were cast the other way. Smile, and light this gloomy Room as with a ray of Heavenly light, and laugh to Cheer this sombre moment Like the flash of flint on Steel in some darken’d room. Ha! You smile, dear heart, now With my last look do 1 Gaze upon heaven itself! Farewell! See, I too smile! John E. Pierce, 1927. CASTLES IN THE AIR I laid their foundations firmly, And raised them stone on stone, With minarets and turrets The massive walls upon. By day dreams tinted warmly, With rainbow hues they shone, And yet, when I thought them finished, Like magic they were gone. Martha Elizabeth Cheney. REWARD (Continued from Page 35) yard. He expected to arrive a few minutes earlier than usual to make sure of his supplies. Presently, the doorbell rang and none other than Bob Copeland was ushered in. It was quite evident to Drusell that something seri- ous was on Bob’s mind as he stood before him, and as the coach looked at him he discovered that the super- ior expression and haughty manner which had always been characteristic of the boy were shattered and in their place was a new look, of a softer and humbler nature. “Good morning, coach,” was Bob’s simple greet- ing. “Have you a few spare moments to spend with me? I have some—something to tell you.” “Certainly, Bob. You’re the very person I wanted to see, anyway.” The sun in royal glory Makes his exit in the west, And in his golden, hazy beams, The Autumnal world is at its best. This color scheme of nature’s The artist still pursues; A summer’s dying efforts Paint leaves with many hues. I dread the thought of winter So bleak and white and sober; I’d rather far forget it all And linger in October. Fred Sharkey, 1927. Bob’s feeling might well have been compared with Scott’s Isaac of York when he faced the terrible Reg- inald Front-de-Boeuf in the dungeon of Torquilstone. “I—I have an apology to make to you.” Seeing Bob’s distressed condition, Drusell endeavored to ease things up a bit by: “For last night’s conduct, I suppose.” “Y-yes,” answered Bob, “but there’s something else.” “Out with it, sir.” Slowly, gradually. Bob collected his remaining cour- age and said: “Carlton knows our signals.” But—but, Bob, how can they? How can you say such a thing? This isn’t a joke, is it?” And then, like a penitent sinner. Bob related the final incidents of last night's party. “Bob! How can you? Oh, well, it's done now, but how on earth can it ever be undone?” For a few moments neither spoke. Then Bob in- terrupted the silence by: “I have one suggestion, sir, although it would be very difficult to put it over suc- cessfully.” Receiving no reply, he continued: “It might be possible for us to collect the entire squad, form a new set of signals and after this morning’s practice, attempt the game in the afternoon.” “I’ll try anything, but it will only be by Divine power, if we win today.” As clearly as the new signals had been expounded on the Bainbridge players, so clearly were the former ones given to the Carlton team who had come for the game, victory assured. The game began. At the end of the first quarter neither team had scored. By the end of the second quarter a Carlton player had made a touchdown and kicked the goal, thereby gaining seven points for his (Continued on Page 11) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 39 Ernest Sackett, Editor PLAYERS’ CLUB The first meeting of the fifth year of the Players’ Club was held in Room 10 at 2.15 P. M. Friday, Sep- tember 2-1, 1926. Plans for the coming year were dis- cussed. It was moved and seconded that an informal discussion be held at each meeting, on subjects of in- terest on the stage and in the acting world. The new officers are: Wilbur Irving, president; Jennie Gilbert, vice-president; Blanche Baptista, secretary; Sheldon Christian, treasurer. THE THRIFT DRIVE Thrift has started its second successful year in this school. Miss Wiseman, aided by a score of pupils, is in charge of this worthy work. During the first week $1,042.1-1 was deposited by 1,114 pupils, repre- senting 53 rooms in this school. Seven rooms have already attained 100% depositors. The Seniors led this drive in both money and the per cent, of deposi- tors. $15,000 is set as the total for this year; $5,000 higher than last year. It should be strictly under- stood that the school receives absolutely no compensa- tion from the bank for carrying on this work. It is done entirely for the benefit of the students. The program was a study of the earlier American poetry and contemporary verse. Poems of Long- fellow, Whittier, Holmes and Bryant, as representa- tive of the earlier school, were read. The verse of Masefield, Foss, Emily Dicxinson, Sandburg and Katharine Lee Bates illustrated contemporary poetry. The judges, Donald Hurd, Kathryn Haywood and Robert Tribe, unanimously voted contemporary verse to be more appealing to the modern student than the earlier poetry. The club upheld their decision by a unanimous vote. Original poetry by Helen Wright, Stella Ellis, Louise Hartshorn, Edmund Maseilo, Lorna Proudfoot and Bertha Corfield proved that we have real talent in the club. Ushers, designated by their red and white badges, aided in seating the large gathering, and Herbert Farr ably assisted in providing extra chairs. The club voted a subscription to the “Gleam,” a magazine of High School verse, in the last number of which was printed a poem by one of the club mem- bers, Alice Dunlap. With such a successful beginning, members of the Poetry Club look forward to their year of work with much optimism and enthusiasm. JUNIOR ASSEMBLY Shortly before the final elections the Juniors held an assembly in order that the class might see the candidates for the final election. Mr. Avery spoke, advising the class to vote for the candidate most fit and not for favorites. He also advised that mem- bership to Junior High Schools, fraternities, sorori- ties or any other organization be disregarded in this vote. THE POETRY CLUB Seventy enthusiastic members gathered in Room 110 on November 3 for the first meeting of the Poetry Club. “JULIUS CAESAR” On September 20. 1926, amid pouring rain, the pupils who study Latin in this school attended a mov- ing picture entitled “Julius Caesar” at the North- eastern Junior High School. The picture aimed to present the Roman life, customs, and conditions at the time of Julius Caesar. Although the audience was ignorant of the fact, the management announces that a part of the picture had to be omitted because of the condition and age of the film. Members of the Junior High- Sehools also saw this production. Thanks are due to Superintendent Clark, who ap- proved and paid for this picture to be shown in Som- erville. 40 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ATHLETICS THE TEAM The team, although not the champions, have in their number all scholastic material in Captain Ed- ward Bergen, who is the individual star of the team. Bergen is all over the field, pulling down opposing backs nearly every other tackle. On the ends we have two husky lads in Rondina and Hallion. Ron- !ina is a Sophomore of great promise. Hallion is a Senior who has shone in every game by receiving forwards and tackling. The tackles, Bickford and •Casey, are Senior and Sophomore respectively. Both are big and have ably exercised, Bickford his length, and Casey his width, in wrecking their opposition. Whyte and Tremblay, the guards, are big boys, both Seniors. Whyte is the one who sends the long spirals down the field when Somerville needs to punt. Tremb- lay confines his activity to the line, where he per- forms consistently well. Goodwin is the field gen- eral who gives the plays and catches the punts. By his deceptive line plunges he gains many a first down for the Red and Blue. The halfback positions are divided among Finn, Luppi, Peterson and Ewell. Charlie Finn has made the most spectacular runs of the year while the others have all played excellently. Tom McGovern at fullback stars by his line plung- ing and by his throwing of forward passes. There are many able substitutes, among whom Ward, Me- in ness, and Isenstadt are distinguishing themselves by their sterling play. SOMERVILLE BEATS CAMBRIDGE LATIN Somerville won the opening Suburban League game October 23 at Dilboy Field, beating Cambridge Latin 13 to G. Charlie Finn ran eighty yards around Latin's right end in a thrilling dash for a touchdown in the second period. Luppi in the interference took out the Latin end nicely, and Finn dodged the secondary defence and sprinted over the line. McGovern kicked the goal from placement. Somerville marched down the field for the first score in the opening period on line rushes by McGovern, Finn, Luppi and Goodwin. Latin scored early in the second half. A first down was made on line rushes by Harlow, Hilliard and Rear- don. Harlow then heaved a twenty-yard forward pass to Hilliard, who ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. On the defence “Jim” Bickford, “Stan” Whyte played well for Somerville. Rondina, Casey and Luppi, Sophomores, showed great promise.

Graf- fam, of Everett, was largely responsible, booting two field goals. Somerville relied on some clever forward passes to cross up the Everett team. Everett scored in the first period as the result of a Somerville fumble which was recovered by Atwood, of Everett. Everett failed to penetrate Somerville's line and Graffam booted the ball between the up- rights for three points. A poor punt by Somerville gave Everett its next chance to score, Graffam again kicking a field goal. Late in the third period Hallion recovered a blocked kick which gave Somerville their opportunity. McGovern threw a long pass to Finn, who caught it on the twenty-five-yard line and raced for a touchdown. Everett scored in the last period when Whyte’s punt from his fifteen-vard iine was blocked and recovered by DiMott on the one-yard line. DiMott broke through for the score and got the extra point on a penalty. Hallion, Bergen and Bickford played well in the Somerville line. Hallion was on the receiving end of many of McGovern’s long passes, which kept Ever- ett in fear of a beating. McGovern and Finn starred in the backfield.

Medford won by taking advantage of the breaks which went against Somerville. The Red and Blue scored a touch- down in the first half, but the officials disagreed and it wasn’t allowed. Medford was outrushed but com- pleted two forward passes each of which went for a touchdown. The Somerville team made thirteen first downs against five for Medford, but lacked a scor- ing punch near the goal line. Medford scored early on a forward pass, Herb to Marshall, after two first downs by line rushes. Herb kicked the extra point. In the second period Medford had the ball on Somerville’s nineteen-yard line and scored on a pass, Herb to Ingraham. Herb again booted the goal. Somerville came right back and marched eighty-five yards to the goal only to have the officials disagree on the touchdown. Medford got two points in the same period on a safety when Isen- stadt dropped a punt. He recovered the ball but was tackled behind the goal by Cook. Medford scored its third touchdown in the third period. Here Somer- ville marched sixty yards to the Medford five-yard line but lost the ball on downs. Marshall kicked to midfield. On the first play Somerville fumbled, Med- ford recovering. Wells made a long run of thirty yards to the Somerville five-yard stripe. Somerville held for three downs, but on the fourth plunge Herb scored; he also kicked the goal. The summary:— Medford Somerville Delfina, McMillan, 1. e.....r. e..

Somerville scored on a forward pass in the first half. McGovern threw the ball to Rondina, who made a pretty catch be- hind the goal. Newton scored in the third quarter, also by the aerial route; they then kicked the goal and tied the score. For the rest of the game the teams fought hard, each trying to score by forward passing. Somerville had somewhat the better of the argument but could not score. The Orange and Black missed Spain, their star drop kicker. “Tom” McGovern was the most consistent giound gainer for Somerville, gaining at least his length, which is considerable, at every rush. Whyte starred in the line, breaking through and tackling the Newton backs for losses many times. Casey and Hal- lion also played well for the Red and Blue.

Perspiration stood on Bob’s brow, just before the final quarter when he felt almost sure of defeat. Bob was continuously hoping and praying for a chance to at least get even. If he should lose— he could not bear the thoughts of such a consequence. But if he should win—and then came his chance. His quarterback signaled for him to make an end run. Gathering all his speed and strength as the ball snapped to his hands, he sped around the left end. With increasing speed he passed the fifteen-yard line; then, the ten-yard line, so that when tackled on the five-yard line, both men went tumbling across the last white line. While cheers rent the air. he kicked the finai goal. Bainbridge had won! 10—7. When it was all over, Bob met Coach Drusell, and the handgrip that passed between the two held a world of meaning for both. A little distance away Dorothy Drusell stood watching the two. “How can I ever repay you, sir?” said Bob. “Don’t say that. Bob. You are to be congratulated, my boy, not only for your splendid work today, but also for learning the real meaning of sportsmanship. And furthermore, you deserve a reward for your splen- did playing.” Smilingly Dorothy came forward, and proffered her hand to Bob. “I don’t deserve this,” said Bob. “Yes, you do, Bob. You know, to err is human.” “But,” answered Bob, “to forgive is divine.” 42 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR CLASS NOTES 1927 Hermit C. .Marsh, Editor Richard J. Hassett, Assistant Editor The first meeting of the Senior Class of 1927 was held October 28, 1926. The newly elected officers were as follows: President, Donald Hurd; vice-presi- dent, Jennie Gilbert; secretary, Helen Aikens; treas- urer, Robert Thomas. Joseph Corish, chairman of Junior Night Commit- tee of last year, read his report, which showed that the class of 1927 had a very successful Junior Night. Miss Bell spoke to us concerning dues and the Senior play. This was followed by the reading of a thrift bulletin by Arnold Finley. The Senior editor, Hermit C. Marsh, and the assist- ant editor, Richard J. Hassett, were then introduced. Next Mr. Tuttle made a few remarks, and then the meeting was adjourned. 102 This room enjoys the honor of having as one of its members, Donald Hurd, president of the Senior Class; Arnold Finley has been elected president of the Webster Debating Society, and Joseph Corish, president of the High School Debating Society. The following: Richard Finn, Frank Elwell, Fred Sharkey, Alice Van Ummersen, Arnold Finley, Rich- ard Obear, and Joseph Corish, have been active in the recent Thrift Drive, speaking at various schools throughout the city in an effort to encourage thrift among the pupils. 103 We are proud to announce that the Senior Floor Proctor makes his headquarters in 103. A certain young lady, P—a—1 D—y—e, is so strong that the glass in the door shattered at her feet when she looked at it. There are only three people in our room that do not belong to a school organization, and this is only November. We wonder why K—r—t M—r—h visits 103 so of- ten? Looking for —?— class notes? Our sympathy is with Mozart for the loss of his nose. (The bust in front of 103.) If we had the wit of Mr. P------, we would become a political humorist. Miss A— to T. S. giil: “How can you look G—a—y in the face without laughing?” T. S. girl: “I always was sorry for the people in the funny paper.” Banking was a great success in our room on the first banking day. Although not 100%, we weren't far from it. We heartily congratulate 110 and arc striving to reach their goal. 105 The members on the football team from our room are: James Ward and William Burns. We have five members of the Traffic Squad: Clifford Bain, Fred Clark, Doris Hildreth, Damon Hoffses and George Dailey. 106 We are fortunate in having one of the members of our room, Hermit C. Marsh, as a class officer, having the office of Senior Class editor. 110 Again Room 110 is among the leaders. 100% in Radiator subscriptions. 100% in banking. Edward Bergen, captain of the football team, is the boys’ physical training leader. Louise Hartshorn is the leader selected by the girls. Ill We take great pride in congratulating Helen Aikens, who is a member of our division, upon her third elec- tion as secretary of the Class of '27. Room 121 Room 121 has two members on the Radiator staff. They are Dorothy Perkins, one of the Staff artists, and Elliot Hall, better known as the Humor editor. They shouldn’t be so retiring and let us know who’s who. The people in this room are responding, slowly but surely, to the thrift idea. We deposited $42.10 on November 1 and hope to do better in the future. Did you know that crosses (x x x) could represent so many things? We of III History O know they do. Heard in III English O: Pupil: “Did David Copperfield write ‘Pride and Prejudice’ ?” E—m—r B—r—s—11: “He is too fresh. He’s down on your floor.” R—e—a—d Ob—a—: “Well, I’ll pick him up.” Ill Heard in English F.: Miss B le: “Who knows anything about Walt Whitman ?” C. II. P. W—11—ms: “Er—er— let’s see. Oh, yes, doesn’t Walt Whitman lead a jazz orchestra?” He's still wondering why the class laughed. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 43 In III Physics F: Miss K—n—ey (on board): “If Adam is fifty feet high and six feet wide,----” P—II—g—i—i: “—how large is Eve?” One of our classmates showed the proper school spirit in a recent football game when he played through three quarters, despite the fact that his nose had been broken in the early part of the game. Conversation heard at the game between Cambridge Latin and Somerville:— K—rl M—y—rs: “Who is that ‘Finnegan’ that they’re hollering about?” J—s—ph C—rl—y: “There's no one playing by that name.” K. M.: “Yes, there is. They’re saying it now. It’s number one man.” J. C.: Oh, that’s Charlie Finn. When he makes a good play they say: ‘There goes Finn again.’” 115 Room 115, the Wall Street of the Somerville High .School. Our financial wizards are:— Robert Thomas, treasurer of the Senior Class. Seldon Christian, treasurer of the Players’ Club. Peter Bertocci, treasurer of the Debating Society. James Carney, bank teller. Herbert Gilbert, room treasurer. Marie Santos, treasurer of the Spanish Club. H—b - G t (two minutes before the end of the period): “0 bell, where is thy ring?” Jason Noursc is showing marked ability as a chess player. C—r—y: “Have you heard the ‘Waddle Song’?” G—1—bt: “No.” C—r—y: “Waddle I do?” 123 Room 123 is the most popular corner of the East. Building. We feel honored in having Jennie Gilbert, vice-presi- dent of the Senior Class and vice-president of the Players' Club, as one of our members. What is the big attraction in a little corner of Room 123 at long recess?—Mirror. Where are all the Bachelor Girls?—Room 123. 1928 Ernest I). Sackctt, Editor The Junior Class elections are over after a speech- less campaign. The officers are: President, Lawrence Williams; vice-president, Ruth Hodges; treasurer, George Goodwin; secretary, Estelle Kenney. The end of the first quarter is here and so is the red ink. Junior, where is your enthusiasm? Room 301 It is a pleasure to see the way our earnest students spend even their leisure moments eagerly (?) pouring over their Cicero. Those catty remarks! “Saw you at the game yester- day. You looked so sweet! I hardly knew you!” Room 305 Room 305 claims the honor of having the class treasurer and secretary among their number. Room 300 Room 30G wishes to announce that it is here that the president is located. It is the home of Division A of the Juniors. We lead the Juniors in Radiator subscriptions and thrift at present. Room 307 A visitor to the chemistry laboratory might mistake the hydrogen test either for another World war, or a pack of dogs in anguish. Room 310 Certainly Juniors are upper classmen! We are far above the other classes. Estelle Keaney, the class secretary, and the only one of last year’s officers to be re-elected, may be found with us. There is more traffic on the stairs between the east and west buildings than in Woolworth’s on bargain day. Lost—a ham sandwich during the lunch period. The finder may eat half. We know of a certain Junior who sincerely believes that the third times never fails. One on our silence makers:— Mr. H.: “Will the traffic squad please pass quietly.” Room 328 We are sorry to hear that two of our members have left school. Our best wishes to them for a suc- cessful future. Walter Hoyt was chosen our treasurer; Leona Thuibide, assistant treasurer, and Walter Counihan, our Radiator representative and proctor. The motto for the third floor is: “No D’s or E’s this quarter.” First Sophomore: “Are you going to run for presi- dent?” Second Sophomore: “No, I’m going to run for treas- urer; there’s more money in it.” 44 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1929 Marion E. Smith, Editor Room 202 The Sophomores feel flattered that they attract so much attention! We notice frequent allusions in the Radiator to us “Sophs.” made by the haughty Juniors and Seniors. One advantage of being on the second floor is that the Sophomores can look down on the Seniors, and can have the last laugh on the Juniors during the one-minute rush to the stairs at 8:29 A. M. Our room officers are as follows: James Eddy, proc- tor; Natalie Rich, treasurer; Carl Engstrom, assist- ant treasurer; Beatrice Capodilupo, Charles Kelley, Joseph Hosford, calisthenic leaders; Marion Smith, Radiator representative for the Sophomore class this month. It may be of interest to Room 123 to know that in Room 202 there are two Kelley sisters and another Kelley combination of brother and sister, to say nothing of the three Robinsons! Division I-A appreciates the view from Room 310 It furnishes such an interesting diversion from the geometry lesson! Ode to Latin All are dead who once spoke it, All are dead who once wrote it, All those die who finally learn it. Happy death! They surely earn it! We think that Mr. Whittemore would be about ready to play “On the harp” himself by the time he gets through with that musical group that sings dur- ing the sixth period Monday! And the basses with him! Room 201 Room 201 stands first on its floor and fifth in the class in the thrift campaign, its amount of deposits being the large sum of $53.30. With Dorothy Murphy and Raymond Proudfoot as our financial agents, we hope to raise our per cent of depositors a great deal more. Room 205 James Moen was an exercise leader at the Western and is exercise leader of our room now. We have in our room, we think, the smallest Sopho- more in the school. Her name is Elizabeth Di Pesa. Room 210 As the third month of our first year in Somerville High draws near its close it finds the Sophomores of Room 210 striving to attain the Honor Roll for the first quarter. Our attendance for the last two months has been worth speaking of. We have had nine days perfect attendance. Our room thinks highly of the Radiator. It is a school paper worth reading and every student awaits eagerly the new issues. Room 210 Besides your nightly studying You might have much to do; But why expect your team to win. If not backed up by you? Before them is a long, hard fight As they start off each game; And if you don’t stick by them, They’ll never rise to fame. They fight hard for the Red and Blue And our school motto good; The team would like some yells from you; Just cheer them as you should. Room 211 We are looking forward with a great deal of anxiety to our first report cards. We hope that they will be a credit to our adviser, Miss Fury. We are happy to announce that our class has at- tained fifth place among the thrifty Sophomore classes. Heard in Room 213 Two boys were told to stop talking. They did stop for awhile, but the temptation was too great to resist and they started in again. Miss B. to one: “Young man, what is your name?’ Pupil: “Bunker.” Miss B. to the other: “And yours?” Pupil: “Hill.” Miss B.: “Very well, Bunker Hill after school.” Room 214 Room 214 has been very busy since the last issue of the Radiator, working on the subject of “Thrift.” Although Room 214 is not yet 100%, yet with the splendid co-operation of the teacher, Miss Smith, and our treasurer, Marcus Pellegrini, and assistant treas- urer, Della Shaw, we hope to reach our goal. Room 215 “What’s in a Name?” Room 215 has a Hall of fame and in it a Hunter after knowledge; a Walker in the same direction; a Smart pupil, and a possible descendant of Oliver Crom- well. Can you beat it? Two of our boys, Charles Drisser and Joseph Mes- kell, were at Camp Devens for a month last summer.

EDITORIAL NOTE An important note which should have been pub- lished in our last issue under “With Our Teacheis During Vacation” was lost by the wayside. This note read: Mrs. Toplitf, Miss Saunders, Miss Jackson and Miss Gordon spent the summer in foreign travel. Mrs. Topliflf had a cruise in the Mediterranean waters; Miss Saunders studied and traveled in Fiance; Miss Jackson and Miss Gordon took more extended tours, visiting England and several countries on the con- tinent.

He looked up into the tragic gray eyes and then— “Thank you, little princess,” he said gravely. Maisie's heart gave oiv great ecstatic leap and she sat down beside him on the bench. “Me and you,” she told him, as she tugged at the lock of her pocket- book, “are gonna have one big feed.” Across the restaurant table as they finished the “Two Dollar De Luxe Dinner,” Maisie remarked con- vei-sationally as she flicked a crumb from the red taf- feta: “Thei-e’s one thing I like about you, Danny— you know a lady when you see one. Some people” —her head lifted proudly, “Say, Danny, ain’t this a swell dress?” 46 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ALUMNI NOTES 1926 Irving Simmons is a Freshman at Tufts College.

How very expressive are these few words of the spirit of Christmas! The meaning of good tidings we realize at this Christmas season. Santa Claus, that personification of generosity and benevolence, shall never cease to exist, although no more do we patiently await his arrival with childish glee and anxiety. A great many people tell us Christmas no longer carries that spirit of welcome, of happiness, and of contentment, but that it has been entirely commer- cialized. Can we really believe such a statement? Is a present the concrete estimate of the affection of the one who gave it to us? We go just a bit deeper, we must, and appreciate the sense, the underlying wish of peace and happiness that is borne with it. If our Christmas tidings are sincere, and from the heart, we are true to ourselves, and being true to ourselves we cannot be false to any man. The Radiator takes this opportunity sincerely to wish the faculty and student body a most enjoyable and happy Christmas, and a prosperous New Year! Hats off to Mr. Dickerman! We are certainly proud of the team he has produced. Especially the work shown in the final game of the season, in taking Rindge into camp with a 2G to 13 victory, justifies all our faith in Mr. Dickerman. We now await eagerly the production of the hockey team on the sporting screen of Somerville High and with great expectation. It is with great pleasure that we print as our front- ispiece the picture of the schooner “Flying Cloud.” This excellent piece of work is the creation of Albert Bird, S. H. S., ’26. This intricate model won its de- signer a four-year scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology through the Youth’s Compan- ion Laboratory. We wish him the best of success in carrying on his work. Anyone passing the Y. M. C. A. on Highland Ave- nue cannot help but notice a large billboard upon which is printed, “Fit—to play the game of life.” Let us stop and consider the simple bit of philosophy to be found in those few words. Just how many of us are fit, physically and morally, to get out into the world and put up our struggle with life? Each day as we go about our school duties we are moulding our very character, unconsciously, it is true, but nevertheless we are either equipping ourselves with the armor of defiance, the strength to believe in our own principles, the power of standing “For the hard right again the easy wrong,” and the faith in those who belong to us, or we are becoming greater fools, hypocrites, feigning to possess sterling qualities, but when we are put to the test, we break down. Con- sider those few words, “Fit, to play the game of life.” Grasp the bit of philosophy that they hold, and profit by it. II English M is having the privilege and pleasure of sending to a little French orphan a Christmas gift of $30.00. The money is raised through self-denial and the class has responded enthusiastically. Indeed so great has been the interest shown that a senior studying in Room 110 during the recitation “could not help but hear the discussion of the plans” and has added his contribution. This caring for a French orphan is a tradition in Mrs. ToplifT’s general or commercial division. For five years the work has been carried on with zeal. That it lasts over into the next year—this interest in war- stricken France—is shown by one fact that Belle Petit and William Walsh, both members of last year’s divis- ion, now of the present senior class, are contributing generously this year by their own request. Thomas Walsh was the treasurer of last year’s division. All money is sent to Mine. Seligmann-Lui, who has charge of all French orphans—Madame was so pleased with Mr. Walsh’s letter that he sent with last year’s con- tribution that she had it translated into French and published in French newspapers. So Mr. Walsh and his class in remembering others less fortunate have not only honored themselves, but brought an honor to the school. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 Uncle Henry’s Santa Claus By Anna Weidhorn, ’27 P wasn't because there was no snow on the ground, or because the day was so warm that the fur coat he was wearing seemed i a burden, that Uncle Henry couldn’t seemed to find an atmosphere of Christ- mas in the air. Perhaps it was because his toast had been a little bit burned that morning, and the bacon too crisp, or perhaps,—but who could tell why? Here it was nearly Christmas Eve, and he didn’t have that holiday feeling, and what irritated him more was that he didn’t know what he could do to get it. There was Uncle Henry feeling very “un- Christmasy” and perhaps, if it may be admitted, a little bit grouchy. At half past four he slammed the door of his office and hurried out to the busy street. His usually jovial, red face, with its twinkling eyes, looked slightly mo- rose, and he seemed preoccupied with his own thoughts. Suddenly he espied the charity worker to whom he had given five dollars for the slum children a short time before. He told himself that if she asked for more money he would be terribly cross. Yes, there she was coming towards him. Well, he knew what to tell her this time. Even if it was Christmas he couldn’t give all his money away to charity. Charity begins in the home, and wasn’t he going to have his children, and their children, and his nephew, and he didn’t know how many others coming to spend Christmas with him ? Here was this charity worker woman, and she was go- ing to talk to him. “Mr. Brown,” said she sweetly, “Knowing your in- terest in the work we have been doing, I feel sure that you will be delighted with what I am about to tell you.” Uncle Henry bristled. “I’m not going to—” he began. “Oh, but wait,” she went on. “Let me tell you about it.” Uncle Henry regarded the young charity worker be- fore him. She looked pretty, and she didn’t seem to be going to ask for money, and anyway what harm was there in listening? “Very well,” he said finally, a bit more pleasantly than before. “We are giving a party for a number of the little children for whom you so kindly donated the money today, and there is only one thing lacking to make the party perfect. That is, Santa Claus. We can’t seem to find a suitable Santa on such short notice, and I was wondering if you’d play the part for us. We’d be so grateful and I know you would be a perfect Santa,” she finished, a little breathlessly. Uncle Henry gasped. Santa Claus! Of all things why must HE be Santa? Why it was years since he’d done that sort of thing. No, no, no, no, he couldn’t —well if the party would be over early he might try. possibly. She smiled at him. Well maybe he—no—yes Why, why—. Finally she overruled all his objections. He was going to be Santa Claus to a lot of children who had never had a Christmas party before. Well he’d do the best he could. A short time later found him in the big hall in which the party was to be given, dtessed in a Santa Ciaus suit which had been improvised from a red table cloth. The white trimming was made from cotton batting. He wore a long white beard which was hot and uncom- fortable. However, he was Santa Claus, and Santa never minded a bit of bodily discomfort. What was more, Uncle Henry felt somehow, from somewhere, a certain spirit of real Christmas and his heart re- joiced under the red tablecloth. Then came the children, with their eyes all shining with joy in anticipation of the wonderful party. Candy, ice cream, cakes, more candy, favors, toys, more cakes, excitement, screams of joy, tumult—poor Uncle. Henry’s head reeled. Finally it was over. The last crumb had been eaten, the last toy distributed, and Unc-le Henry had been thanked again and again by the overjoyed charity workers. Then he had an inspiration. He would go home dressed just as he was. The children were not expected until the next day, and he and Aunt Mary would have a laugh over his absurd make-up. It would help to hasten the dull evening a little. He shrugged into the fur coat. A taxi soon brought him to his own door. Why! The whole house was lit up! Could it be that—but no, Mary was only making everything as attractive as possible for the expected guests and was puttering around from room to room. He entered the door. Gracious! There were people and people there. The children had arrived unexpect- edly, and the neighbors had come in to greet them, and he was in a red tablecloth and white whiskers. He had already been sighted and could not retreat. The next moment he was in the midst of a laugh- ing, chattering throng. There were remarks about his make-up, questions, hordes of questions which he was too embarrassed to answer. Then finally he came out with the story. More laughter. Poor Uncle Henry: Everyone was enjoying the situation except himself. Then somebody suggested having a real old-fash- ioned Christmas party with Uncle Henry presiding, as Santa Claus. The suggestion was carried out. There were games, laughter, good things to eat, and it wa.-’ surprising what good things Aunt Mary could concoct on such short notice. Uncle Henry forgot his discom- fiture, forget everything uncomfortable, in fact, and gave himself over to the holiday spirit which was everywhere. (Continued on Page GO) 60 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Stranger By Albert Allen, ’28 T tIARLY December found the North country resounding: with the crash of falling: trees and the din caused by the hardy lumber-jacks at work. Theirs was the rugged physical life, in which the body was taxed to its utmost and sinews be- came like steel. The rivers almost overflowed with the burden of great logs. Hopping from log to log, lumber-jacks with sharp pikes skilfully set them in order. But the scene changed at evening. Gone was the noise of industry, gone was the din from the forest, and while the lumbermen sat quietly in camp, the great North retrieved for a while its own loneliness. The clear moon, set in a mist by passing gray clouds, shown down on the stillness. The uncut trees rose in solemn stateliness over the river, whose silence was broken only by occasional ripples softly splashing against the logs. One day there came into the North a stranger, tall and slim, perhaps in his thirties. The men of the lum- ber camp, seeing on the man’s face something of sor- row, of pain, asked no questions. And the man grate- fully responded in a like manner, going about his tasks, to which he seemed accustomed, silently and faithfully. He was an unobstrustive spectator at the men’s games and gatherings. One lumber-jack said to his fellows one evening when discussing the stranger, “An he just seems ter fit in th’ loneliness o’ this country, quiet-like. When yuh talk ter him, he seems ter be lookin’ ’way off some- where. He’s gone through a lot, I’ll tell yuh.” A lumber-jack named Spud one evening came upon the stranger, whom they had come to know as “Rand,” a short distance from the camp, standing near the bank of the river. To Spud’s amazement soft, sweet music filled the night air. He saw that Rand was play- ing a violin. Waiting until the bow fell to Rand’s side, he startled the newcomer by cheerily calling “Hello, Rand.” Rand looked about wildly, then, re- gaining his composure, answered the greeting. Smilingly, old Spud looked down at the violin. “Yuh suttinly can play that there fiddle,” he said. “That music sounded real good, just like I once heard Krees- ler on the phonygraph.” A wistful look came into the stranger’s eyes and he gazed far off towards a distant mountain. “Spud,” he began, “1 used to play this violin before crowds in the big cities of the world, but—well, here I am.” Spud pressed him no further, but as they trudged homeward together Spud remarked, “You must play for us sometimes.” Thus it came about that the stranger from “No- where” played for the lumbermen while the wind howled outside. Operas, Virginia Reels, jigs, “Turkey in the Straw,” and strange melodies were played by Rand, who, even at the merriest tunes which tripped from the violin, seemed to be ever looking far away. Still Rand kept to himself a great deal and never wholly lost the haze of mystery with which he had entered the camp. He was always ready to oblige with small favors and came to hold a warm place in the hearts of these rough, but kind men. On Christmas morning the forest again rang with the din of falling trees, and the men swung their axes with extra energy in anticipation of the afternoon feast. There was laughter and fun while the work went on. One great tree near Rand, the prize of the day, was being given the last few blows prior to top- pling over. Rand stopped; looked up. Spud, unseen by the lumbermen because of a small bush, was stand- ing in the path where the tree was going to fall. Rand shouted to Spud, but he was not heard above the din. With a “here it goes,” the tree was given the last blow, and the giant trembled. Rand was already run- ning towards Spud and reached him just as the mon- arch of the forest fell. With a mighty push Rand sent Spud sprawling, but there was not time to save himself. The tree struck the ground with a great crash, smothering the lower part of his body. Men came from all sides, and just before the “stranger” died, he said to the weeping Spud, “Tell them at home that I'm sorry. This is my Christmas offering from my heart.” Thus ended that Christmas in the North, a tragedy, but the human derelict had at last found rest and peace. UNCLE HENRY’S SANTA CLAUS (Continued from Page 59) Perhaps it might be fine to say that he compared the two parties, and found the one in which he had given so much joy to the children of the slums the more satisfactory. But Uncle Henry was merely a nor- mal human being and did not do so. Yet, it may be true that real Christmas spirit like charity begins in the home, and radiates to the home and hearts of others. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 The Christmas Tree By Elm a Jones, '28 [The Tree Speaking] HAVE GROWN RAPIDLY. One would not recognize me to be that small pine tree which was left three years ago at the doors of this house that I now guard with dignity. Great events have taken place. But to begin with I was a mis- take. Three years ago today an expressman brought me to Sir Edward, my present master, by mistake. It was because of Sir. Edward’s cold gaze that I shivered until I thought that several of my branches would fall off. The expressman then threw me down on the snow, and uttering an oath, left the yard. I had then passed from one wrathful man into the hands of another. Sir Edward stood me up against the side of the house and there I remained for the night. Christmas morning I was planted in the middle of a large well-kept yard, facing a wide street. Several Christmas seasons have passed. The first Christmas, I stood in the sun, my wide branches swaying in a breeze unusual for that time of year. Last Christmas, however, I felt a touch of win- ter, the first of the year. My limbs were heavily laden with snow. Icicles, hanging from me, sparkled in the cold rays of the sun. The roaring wind sent chills down my trunk and I yearned for a warm sum- mer day. Spring soon came and my wish was gratified. Often I have sheltered children on their way home from school, from the sweltry rays of the sun. Many an envious glance has been cast my way by the small drooping trees which decorate the street. In truth, I should give Sir Edward due credit for his unselfishness. Yesterday a very small pine was set in the ground beside me. I am now guardian over my young neigh- bor. My spirits are quite elated since I have com- pany of my own kind. We are very friendly and pass much of our time conversing. “Little Brother.” “Yes.” “How strange it is that after these ten years to- gether, I should call you. who are my equal in size, little brother. Yet, you are still my little brother in age.” “Big Brother, I heard Sir Edward talking just this morning of the poor family who have moved in across the street. He seemed distressed at the thought of those seven children yearning for the Christmas sunshine and Christmas spirit tomorrow.” “Yes, Little Brother, Sir Edward has a soft spot in his heart. Perhaps his lonely life has made him sympathetic with others who also live a joyless life.” “Big Brother, tomorrow I will spend my tenth Christmas with you. But who is this coming?” “It is Sir Edward.” “Goodbye, Little Brother. The time has come; Sir Edward’s heart has softened. He is going to give sunshine to that little family across the street. I am the ‘sunshine’ and I will try to play my part well. You are now the ‘Pride of the Street.’ ” DOWN WHERE THE POWER BEGINS I might begin by saying that the life of a stow- away is not at all what it is cracked up to be. I wonder how many of you have ever seen the oil gang of a ship in action. To begin with, they work in a temperature of about 112 degrees Fahrenheit. As the name implies, oil is everywhere; it is above you, it is below you, it accumulates on the rolling floor, and when the ship rolls one is almost swept off his feet by that black wave of just oil. The heavy oil is fed to the boilers at nearly 200 pounds pressure and you can imagine what happens when a fire burns up all the oil coming from a two-inch pips at this pressure. Heat! Yes, and not only heat but noise. The soar of the blast is so deaf- ening that talk is practically impossible. Stay in this hole for five minutes and your head will ache for hours. What must it be to spend twelve hours out of every twenty-four there? They say you’ll get used to it, but you don’t. You are straddling a pipe which is vibrating with 200-pounds pressure per square inch, fixing a valve mucky with grease, your clothes soaked in dirty oil, heat to 112 degrees without ventilation, glaring, howl- ing fires. A steam gauge blows off filling the room with wet, hot steam. What a picture! Where are our artists that they do not paint such a picture? There is more life, death and spirit in this picture than in any other we can conceive. Twelve hours a day, seven days a week, in such a hole! What a life! After the first day it becomes a dream or rather a horrible nightmare. And yet when the time comes, I’ll try it again. Gordon Pratt, 1928. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 62 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Bv Alice L. Dunlap, Library Editor There is in the West Library, a book that tells the story of your youthful life. It gives expression to many blurred impressions and memories stored in your sub-conscious mind. Why, it is you, yourself pic- tured out in black and white. You’ll laugh at the you that was, and at the you of today that has some of the same lingering qualities of childhood. Here is an excerpt from the story to tempt your literary pallet:— “It began with the Lord’s Prayer—the first words of this being said devoutly as, Our Father ‘chart in Heaven,’ and the more slowly one said it all, the more devout one was supposed to be. The child who ‘gabbled’ was ‘a wicked thing.’ It was very awful when one was tired or preoccupied, to find out that one was gabbling! Discovering this, one went back and began again, with exceeding deliberation. “But it was the little prayer which came after this which so took in all the world:— “God bless Papa and Mamma.’ it began lovingly, ‘and Grandpapas and Grandmamas’—though when the Small Person first remembered it the Grandpapas were gone, and one could only say, ‘and Grandmamas,’ because the Grandpapas had ‘gone to Heaven’ and so needed no praying for, because in Heaven everybody was happy and God took care of them without being asked every night and morning by little white nightgowns, by the little white beds, in the nursery. ‘God bless my Brothers and Sisters’ it went on lovingly again, ‘and my Uncles and Aunts and Cousins.’ And then that none might escape and be forgotten, ‘Pray God bless all my Relations and Friends,’ and then in an outburst of sympathy, ‘Pray God bless Everybody.’ And modestly, at the end —and with the feeling that it was really a great deal to ask—‘And make Me a Good Child for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.’ “And then one finished with three dear little verses which seemed to provide for all in one’s child-life—and took one even to the Gates of Paradise. “In Nursery parlance it was always spoken of as ‘Jesus Tender.’ “Did you say your ‘Jesus Tender?’ was sometimes sternly demanded by one little nightgown of another ‘You were such a little bit of a time kneeling down, if you said it you must have gabbled.’ It was this:— “Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me, Bless thy little lamb to-night, Through the darkness be Thou near me. Keep me safe till morning light.” That seemed to make everything so safe when the gas was turned down. Throughout the pages the author has kept a sym- pathetic and almost tender style. It has a delicious humor-wit with its sharp edges hidden in the soft folds of understanding and affection for human nature. It is at times airy-fluffy, bringing in the great prob- lems of life through a child’s eyes, and giving even as satisfactory a solution of it all, as the maturest and sagest minds could give. The writer was an English woman who spent much of her life in the United States, and would you believe a book so amusing, so friendly could be a biography? It is. It would be fun to discover the name of this book and to enjoy the rest of these childhood incidents that are your own. Feel at liberty to iook for it in the West Library. Among the new members of the school there seems to be some uncertainty regarding the West Library. It is, as you know, situated on the second floor of the West Bpilding. There you will find poetry, novels, drama—every form of reading that would interest you. There are also a number of magazines at your dis- posal. You may study in the library during a study period if you obtain a slip from the librarian. Miss Hastings, before school or at the short recess. One-half of the slip is then left with your study teacher at the be- ginning of the period referred to on the slip. The library is alway open to you after school. Books may be checked and taken out for three days. The library ought to be of tremendous assistance to you during the year. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 63 To all who are interested in poetry, there is in Room 110 a magazine called “The Gleam,” subscribed to by the Poetry Club and available to all. It contains poetry by High School students, articles by prominent authors and travelogues concerning places of inter- est connected with poets of the past and present. By reading this magazine a better knowledge is gained cf what other high school pupils can do along the line of writing verse. A high standard has been reached and the quality of the poems is excellent. Alice Dunlap, of this school, had a poem printed in a recent issue, and last year a number gained recogni- tion. The editors of “The Gleam” are giving their time for our benefit; they are striving to encourage the love of poetry in young people and thus far they have achieved great success, for over two hundred high schools are taking the magazine and the amount of verse sent in increases after every issue. We urge you, therefore, to take one good look at “The Gleam” for curiosity’s sake if nothing else, and we will guar- antee a second look will be quickly forthcoming. THE GODS OF WAR AND WOE The light of battle filled their eyes,— These Gods of War and Woe. Upon their steeds they trod the skies While war-mad men fought down below. A battle rages where they ride And men fight hard and fast. And women die, and children cry, Till War and Woe have passed. Yet mortal man has glorified In glowing song and story, The history of the men who died, Surrounded by such “glory.” The bards, amid their bloody tales, Seemed not to know that for each fray, The statesmen of some nation failed: War seemed the only way. We see that peace will make its home When friendship fills the world. Send warlords out to fight alone— Then war flags will be furled. Samuel Nelson, 11)27. THE DREGS OF LIFE The filthy smurch of a steamer’s smoke Or the blotch of a heap of slag. Or dust clouds rising to hide the flag That hangs at the pole a tattered rag; Are all the beauties some folks get, Who struggle through life with pallid eye Bleared by filth and a murky sky, Counting the cays by the siren’s cry Surrounded by dirt they can’t forget. The clatter of trucks over cobble stones Or the roar of a passing train, Or the deaf'ning screams of a mill’s refrain Join'd with the swish of sooty rain, Are all the sounds that some folks hear As they plod along a crooked street Swept by cold or quivering heat; Life, bare and dead, they have to meet With a twisted smile, and a hidden tear. Why must I breathe the choking dust Of filthy streets, brick lined With hideous dwellings for an outer crust To inner cove of sordid vice and lust, When past the city, people find A kindly earth of blended lights and shades, With placid lakes, sun-kissed; An earth of rolling hills, and forest glades, Where in the quiet air the past soon fades Into obscurity—not missed ? John E. Pierce, 1927. HER FINGERS TOUCHED THE KEYS Her fingers touched the keys, and brought From Heaven a hymn of praise that stayed And then was lost. Again, she caught The laughter of elves; showed to us Their festival, gave us their songs. She swept us back a thousand years. We fought With knights. We heard the clash And ring of steel on steel; the shouts Of victors. Pictured quick alarms Of town, attacked and lost. And then She brought us back again. Esther Colby, 1927. 64 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR PUBLIC OCCURRE Ernest Sackett. Editor SYMPHONY CONCERT On December 3, 1926, the Boston Symphony Group of the Boston Symphony Orchestra gave an interesting concert. The group was conducted by Mr. Paul Shir- ley and consisted of fourteen pieces. The purpose of the group is to further the building of a musical Amer- ican nation. The music was most interesting and pic- turesque, giving the listeners a very good picture of the part the music portrayed. It gave great pleasure to many to see real musicians playing and to be so near to them. The attendance, however, did not come up to ex- pectations as only about five hundred pupils attended. The program consisted of the following selections: 1. Overture: “Roy d’ U. S.”................Lalo 2. Persian Dances ..................Mossourgsky 3. “The Bumble Bee”...........Rinisky-Kassakoff 4. Algerian Suite ..................Saint-Saens 5. “A Night in Seville”.................Albeniz 6. Hungarian Rhapsody ....................Liszt The group will give another concert January 14, 1927, in the High School Hall. BAND CONCERT On Wednesday, November 24, 1926, the High School Band consisting of forty-eight members, gave a fine concert. The purpose of the concert was to help de- fray the cost of the new uniforms the band has re- cently purchased. The concert was attended by a large audience eager both to listen and to help the financial standing of the band. Under the leadership of Dexter Wise the following program was presented:— 1. March: “R. L. T. B.” 2. Overture: “Inspiration” 3. “Red Men’s” March 4. Overture: “Cavalry Charge” ILLUSTRATED LECTURE November 10, 1926, Colonel Eustace gave a moving picture illustrated lecture entitled “Hunting Big Game in Africa.” The film showed many fine views of the wild animals in their natural surroundings. While it was being presented Colonel Eustace gave details and descriptions of his interesting trip to Africa. The picture was both thrilling and instructive. EDUCATION WEEK In view of the fact that it was National Education Week, on November 11, 1926, an important assembly was held in the High School Hall for the parents. The attendance was very meager, however, amounting to about fifty or sixty people. Music was furnished by the High School orchestra. PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club has started, another year with thirty-five new members. Interesting programs are taking place at our weekly meetings, including plays, short essays, and lessons on stage “makeup.” An en- joyable theatre party was held on November 11, to see “Arms and the Man” at the Repertory Theatre. The club is at present occupied with re-reading and amending its constitution. THE SKETCH CLUB The Sketch Club holds its meetings in Room 400 every Wednesday afternoon. The members are doinjr sketching and many other interesting things in the line of handicraft under the direction of Miss Brad- ford and Miss Marshall. All students interested are cordially invited to attend the meetings. Betty Russell, Secretary. POETRY CLUB About eighty members and other students were as- sembled in Room 110, on December 1, for the second successful meeting of the Poetry Club. There were narrative poems by Macaulay, John Jay, and Whittier, rendered more enjoyable by being well delivered. There were also odd English carols and Christmas poems by Lizzette Woodworth Ruse, Eliza- beth Madvex Roberts, Eugene Field, and Winifred M. Letts. The judges, Philip Eikstrand, Wallace Spencer and Dorothy Watson, voted Whittier’s “Skipper Treason’s. Ride,” read by Alice Johnson, the most moving of the narrative poems; of the Christmas poems, “Christmas Morning,” written by Elizabeth Madvex Roberts, and read by Catherine Calandrella, stood first. The original poems by Bertha Corfield, Stella Ellis, Esther Colby, Samuel Johnson (pseudonym), Lorna Proudfoote and John Pierce, were of high merit. At the close of this meeting, thirty-four new mem- bers added their names to the club enrollment. With meetings, each more successful than the last, this year will see the Poetry group attain a stand it never reached before. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 65 CLASS NOTES 1927 Kermit C. Marsh, Editor Richard J. Hassett, Assistant Editor At a recent session of court, the nature of the of- fence was announced as that of misdemeanor. The judge, absent-mindedly said: “Will Miss Demeanor please step up to the witness chair?” T. S. to girls: “Single up girls and stay single.” Listening to the cheering at some of the football games brings to mind an old story: “It seems, at one time, that everyone decided to make as much noise as he could at a specified time, to see just how much noise could be made. But by some strange coinci- dence, each one decided that he would listen to the noise, instead of participating, and as a result, very little noise was made. And so it is at the football games. It sometimes seems as though each one listens to see just how loud the crowd is cheering. Classmate, Norman Reymour, has sprained his ankle, and will be out of school for sometime. L. N—s—n would have looked more impressive carrying the S. H. S. banner on Thanksgiving Day if he had but carried it right side up. A sad mistake, indeed. Now that the football season is over, maybe some of the squad will eventually look as if they hadn’t just been in an automobile accident. It’s a funny thing. He still goes to Room 103.

Dramatic critics should have heard D—x—c W—s— render, “Where Are You Going, Young Fellow, My Lad?” in 214. The Senior Play Committee is as follows: Richard Finn, Lillian Elliott, and Elizabeth Hunt. A gentleman proposes to a lady, and expresses his love as follows: “Thou art most worthy of observa- tion, after a long consideration and much meditation, on the great reputation you possess in thy nation. So I have a strong inclination to become your rela- tion and on a probation of this declaration, I will make preparations to remove my situation to a more agree- able station. If this oblation be worthy of observation, it will be a grandization beyond all joy and exultation. “I am yours, “Sam Dissimulation.” The lady’s answer is as follows: “Sir: I perceived your ovation with much deliberation and a little con- sternation at the great infatuation of your weak im- agination on so slight a foundation, and I am yours without hesitation. “Mary Moderation.” Boy, get the dictionary. Heard in the classroom:— Teacher: “Keep your seats and pass out as you usually do.” The two inseparables: T—d L—tc—f—eld and K—rm M—r—h. Look for one and you’ll find the other. A. J. to D. L.: “Say, Dot, I’m getting smart in His- tory.” D.

Heard in a History Class:— Pupil (as a teacher writes zero in his record book): “What is that zero for?” Teacher: “That is for truancy.” Pupil: “I am not a truant.” Teacher: “You are not paying attention so you are getting zero for mental truancy.” School is a place That everyone fears, And isn’t it funny, We go there for years.

Great commendation is due to Miss Weisman and Miss Kenney and the pupils who help them each day, for the way that they are handling the banking in the school. Let it be known that besides the work being carried on in the school, they have charge of all the banking in the grammar schools. How can II—r—Id U—1—n sleep in III F History, when the band makes those awful noises beneath us? We wonder. Room 110 has 100% in class dues for the sixth con- secutive week; this room had 100% in banking.

A few weeks ago the Juniors assembled to hear the speeches and to congratulate themselves upon their ex- cellent choice. Our president immediately launched into the record of the class, past and present, with dynamic force, stating that the members were much in evidence in various organizations of the school, having nineteen boys in football, seventeen boys in the band, and thirty-one Juniors in the orchestra. He ended his speech with the following: “So wake up, Juniors, abolish that attitude of indifference, arouse interest, get behind your officers and your class and just rush on to put over a series of touchdowns for a class that will be a success with your co-operation.” Juniors, support your officers. Teacher (to little Soph, who is reading in class): “You didn’t express that mark at the end of the sen- tence! Try again!” Soph.: “Oh! Why are you sad, little buttonhook?” Teacher: “You’ve looked at his paper three times!” Junior: “Yes, ma’am. He’s a Soph, an’ he don’t write very plain!” Animal-loving girl to friend: “Bee, when do you think little puppies are cutest?” Beatrice: “In biscuits, of course.” F. E—w—1—1 to E. C. H—1: “Why don’t they call you Charley?” H—I: “Because my name’s Clarence.” Soph.: “Caesar must have been awfully strong!” Teacher: “Why?” It says here: “Caesar pitched his camp across the river.”—Exchange. One more step, then----! Should he do it? Should he? Why should he endure the torture any longer! Why not end it all! Well—he would! So he squeezed out from between two chairs and walked down the steps of 315 instead of jumping. Jack and Jill went up the hill, The picket-fence was sharp, Jack is counting pretty stars, While Jill plays on the harp. The Sophs., although quite improved, still need a little advice regarding their personal conduct and health. To the Sophs.:— Never worry. It makes you old and wrinkled also causes much sadness among your friends. Never study late at night. It causes much loss of sleep and sleep is what keeps you young and beautiful as little children ought to be. Never walk in the corridors. Running is good for the heart, which must have its proper exercise or it will break. Also running upstairs is good for the feet and legs. Remember always to come in the front door at lunch time. It affords amusement for the upper classmen and gives you good practice in how to open and shut heavy doors quietly. Who complains about our occupying the third floor.’ Why, don’t you know that the higher up you are, in this world, the greater you are? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 67 1929 Marion Smith, Editor Robert Forbes, Assistant Editor The pupils of 222 are proud of Mary Furtado, Fred- erick Hall and Charles Behenna for their success in -attaining all A’s and B’s on their report cards for the first quarter. Lillian Jones and Mary Furtado are back with us again after a long absence. The Sophomore Class takes this opportunity to wish the teachers and pupils a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A large number of pupils in Room 122 attended the concert given by the school band on November 24 and are proud to know there arc such skilled players in this school. We think the members of the band pre- sent a very fine appearance in their uniforms. “Where were you a week back?” “At the doctor’s.” “What for?” “For a weak back.” Several pupils of our class have succumbed to the effect of the report cards. The pupils of Room 202 feel it their sacred duty to raise a sum of money and buy little John Crowley some toys. Poor child! He hasn’t many. (Santa •Claus, take note.) Laugh and the world laughs with you, Laugh and you laugh alone. The first when the joke’s the teacher’s The last when the joke’s your own. —Belle Hop. The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la, Can claim no distinction at all, For no flower ever’s been seen, tra-la, With leaves quite as verdantly green, tra-la, As the Sophomores that bloom in the fall. We don’t object to “telling one” on ourselves! —Bean pot. If Miss B— wants E— P—n—e of Div. 1-A to recite during the French period, she should plant a time bomb under E—’s chair. Then, perhaps, she might move when it went olT! We like the banking period on Mondays not only because we may deposit our money, but also because we then get a chance to give our lessons a “lick and a promise” after being “indisposed” the night before. We congratulate the following people of Room 202 on their success in gaining credit on their report cards:— Maximum Credit Marion Smith Ruth Kelly Credit Madelaine Goodhue Josephine Wardrobe Virginia Lord Grace Kelly Sumner Spalding Alice Burhart Lloyd Hawes Bernard Robinson Edwin Runey We are proud of the people in 205 whose names ap- pear on the credit list. They are as follows:— Inez Arzillo George Bollman Elizabeth Di Pesa Jane Stewart William Vidito John Niles, 206, received credit on his report card. We hope that a great many more will be on the credit list next time. First man: “Did you ever try the Carlsbat mud bath?” Second man: “No, but I've played in a Somerville- Rindge football game.” After the excitement of getting our report cards, things have again settled down in an orderly way. In 210 during the first quarter nineteen students succeeded in keeping on the perfect attendance list. Laura Saparoff and Charles Quinn are on the credit list in 210. We are greatly interested in Somerville’s football record. Hurrah for the victory on Thanksgiving Day! The time that is spent in sighing, The time that is spent feeiing blue, If it only were spent in trying, Might bring great success to you. We are sorry that Alice Watson of Room 214 had to leave school on account of illness. We hope that she will recover rapidly so that she will be able to come back. One of the hardest duties that Dorothy has had yet was collecting money for that pencil sharpener. Note: Dorothy should have used a lever and pried it loose. Do you remember the day the girls of Division X were lost? Even the office force couldn’t find them! Even a Senior or a Junior must grant the Sopho- mores the privilege of being wise. Room 215 is increasing in number of depositors. Two famous wits of Room 228: lister Holland and Norman Burbank. They are also the noise-makers. Edward Monahan always comes into the room with a smile on his face, usually on the right side. 68 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Orange Leaf, Orange High School, Orange, N. J.—Welcome to our exchange department. This issue reveals an interested staff. The Western Star, Western Junior High School. West Somerville, Mass.—Your cover design for this issue is very appropriate. The Green and White, De LaSalle College, Manila, P. I.—As usual an up-to-date paper. We enjoy “Views and Reviews” very much. Pad and Pencil, Chandler Secretarial School, Bos- ton, Mass.—Good stories, good poems, but no ex- changes. The Lawrence High School Bulletin, Lawrence High School, Lawrence, Mass.—An excellent magazine, with a unique cover design. The Red and Black, Stevens High School, Claremont, N. H.- -Why not add a few more poems and eliminate some of your stories? The Junior Pioneer, Henry Lord Junior High School. Fall River, Mass.—A very good graduation number. The editorial, “Optimist vs. Pessimist” is excellent. The Salemica, New Salem Academy, New Salem, Mass.—Athletics and school news is well taken care of. We like your play “A Night on the Hill.” Where is your exchange department? HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES One Saturday a group of girls from the Normal Division 1-1, who are reading “The House of the Sever Gables” by Hawthorne, went to Salem to see the house. We noticed the little shop window where were dis- played toy carts, horses, birds, and dolls. When the door of the shop was opened or closed, the little bell above it tinkled, just as it does in the story. In the corner of the dining room, was an arm chair with a high back, supposed to be in the same position where it was when Judge Pyneheon sat there for the last time. A panel in the wall was opened and we ascended the secret staircase built in the chimney. It led us to Clifford’s room where we found a four-poster bed and an old-fashioned washstand. One small window overlooked the water and the other faced the garden. Phoebe’s bedroom was larger, bright and airy. The bed had a trundle bed beneath it which could be pulled out at night for the children. In the parlor was a desk which had belonged to Hawthorne and over it was his portrait. A mirror hung on the wall and as the girl raised it a small door open and we saw the original wall. It reminded us of the hiding place of the papers which Judge Pyneheon was so eager to secure. Here, too, was a large fireplace showing on the tiles at the The Sassamon, Natick High School, Natick, Mass.— An excellent Commencement number containing a very good Class Will and Class Poem. The Echo, Winthrop High School, Winthrop, Mass. —As usual a newsy sheet; but let’s see an exchange department. The Sentinel, Charlemont High School, Charlemont, Mass.—Class notes are fine. The Mirror, Cold water High School, Cold water, Michigan.—Too much space given to athletics in this issue. We suggest a few stories.

The Aegis, Sam Housten High School, Housten, Texas.—For such a small paper all departments are well developed. back Adam and Eve and the serpent. In the garden we saw Maude’s well, the summer houses, and the de- scendants of Phoebe’s posies. We returned with the impression that the people and places in the story were more real than ever. Julia McNulty. PLAYWRITING CLUB The second meeting of the Playwriting group was held in Room 214, Wednesday, at two o’clock. Miss Kennard presided and also acted as secretary pro tern. Dorothy Leeman was appointed secretary. The chairman for the day Miss E. C. Hall, announced the two features, a one-act play written by Misses Kennard and Brown; the reading from the “Green Goddess,” by Audrey Taylor. Both presentations were amply enjoyed and a vote of thanks was given the participants. Miss Rose Tirabassi is to be our next chairman and we all look forward to her program with great pleas- ure. We are welcoming all newcomers and everyone is cordially invited to attend our next meeting. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 69 ATHLETICS SOMERVILLE BEATS RINDGE Somerville won the annual Thanksgiving Day game from Rindge 26—13. A large crowd attended and the Somerville band, decked out in snappy uniforms, enter- tained before the game and between the halves. Somerville started the scoring right away. Taking the ball on the forty-yard line, the team marched down the field for a touchdown, Peterson, Luppi and Isenstadt carrying the ball through the Rindge line. Rindge scored in the second period on a forward pass, Coffey to Burke, who made a pretty catch and raced fifty yards to score. Somerville scored again in the same period by an- other march down the field. Finn, McGovern, and Isenstadt carried, McGovern taking it over. The Red and Blue scored in the third quarter on rushes by Luppi and Peterson after Isenstadt made a twenty-yard runback of a Rindge punt. Peterson .smashed through the line for his second touchdown. Rindge scored in the same period by a forward pass, Coffey to Burke and another Coffey to McKee. In the final period McGovern on a trick play fooled the Rindge defence sauntering over for a touchdown. “Mac” did a fine piece of acting to pass the Cambridge backs without their knowing he had the ball until too late. Captain Bergen and Peterson played brilliantly for Somerville. Bergen was a star on the defence in temptings, forwards and tackling finally. Peterson gained consistently through line, and made five and ten yards every time he was called on. Isen- .stadt played a fine game at quarterback, directing the team well. The Somerville line played excellently, Rindge not being able to make first down by rushing. SWIMMING Swimming is coming along rapidly and all the girls are working hard under the capable coaching of Miss Hubbard, who is working the girls up for the swim- ming meet with the Freshmen of the Sargent School •of Physical Education. Sophomores—we need more of you to have a class team. Let’s see some new ones at the pool next week. The same to the Juniors, but we need say nothing to •our Seniors—they are efficient and show good class -spirit. They’re always there. TRACK Now that football is over, an opportunity will be given for those interested to participate in track athletics. There is a new board track adjacent to the field house, and Somerville should have an excellent representation this year. Charlie Finn is a fast three- hundred-yard dash man. Bigley, Maclnness and Mc- Carthy are the other speedsters of last year. The Somerville relay of last year was a great success, win- ning five out of six races. “Swede” Johnson is the only member lost through graduation and this year’s outfit should win consistently. A large number of can- didates would put a track team on the boards fit to uphold Somerville’s athletic prowess and tradition. BROOKLINE DEFEATS SOMERVILLE Brookline defeated Somerville in a Suburban League game on Dilboy Field 3 to 0. A fumble and general poor playing on Somerville’s part gave Brookline their opportunity to score. Gleason kicked a drop from the fifteen-yard line for the only score. Although Somerville outrushed Brookline, the team could not score when within striking distance. Somerville had the ball three times inside Brook- line twenty-yard line, each time losing the ball. Mc- Govern in the first period passed to Hallion, who slipped and fell as he was about to catch the ball. In the third period Finn made a twenty-five yard run only to have the ball brought back for offside play. BASKETBALL “Coming out for basketball?” seems to be the uni- versal cry among the girls at present, for it began Friday, December 3, at the Bingham School. Practice will be from 3.30 to 5 p. m. every Tuesday and Fri- day. A great number of the girls who played last year are here so that with the splendid material that came up from the Junior high schools this year and the material we have in the Junior and Senior classes we ought to have a fast, snappy team. Even if you have never played basketball, girls, come out for it. You never can tell what a star you may be after Miss Viano, our coach, has had you in hand for a time. Here’s where the Sophomores will have a chance. 70 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A fellow crossed his carrier pigeons with parrots so that when they got lost they could ask their way home.

V • May the year 1927 bring us— A new school home, adequate in size, suffi- ciently equipped, so that our school family may have a fair opportunity to grow in body, in mind, and in spirit. A renewed determination to study faith- fully so that pupils may go out a credit to their training, and teachers may rejoice in the satis- faction of work well done. A growing spirit of co-operation and kindly feeling between pupils and teachers, realizing, all of us, that team work with friendliness and happiness behind it brings the best kind of success. John A. Avery. The names of the winners and of the judges in the Radiator contest are found under “Pub- lic Occurrences.” Congratulations to the winners! May this achievement be a step on the road to future literary success! The Radiator was gratified by the number of contributions it received, realizing that the work had to be done in the busy days just pre- ceding Christmas, and it has been gratified still more by the favorable comments of the judges. To the judges, to the contributors, and to all who helped to make the contest the suc- cess that we feel it has been, the Radiator ex- tends its heartiest thanks. Watch for the prize writings in the following issues. The staff has entered the New Year by launching a drive for a bigger and better pub- lication. We are endeavoring to present to the student body the sort of material that pos- sesses the greatest attraction. In the past three editions we have set forth to the best of our ability such departments as seemed most ap- pealing to the school as a whole. Now with the next issue, we propose a method of individual- ity for each room and class whereby they may publish such news as is desired. It is our wish to interest that particular group, the non-subscribers, and make them feel that the Radiator is as much theirs as any- body else’s. In the forthcoming issues the liter- ary material has been written by those receiv- ing prizes and honorable mention in the recent Radiator contest. We hope that before you form an opinion of a publication you will actually read it through, bearing in mind that it was published for your own enjoyment. We heartily seek the support of all and especially of those who have been rather slack in the past in supporting one of the closest interests in Somerville High School. The staff, with your assistance, is con- fident that the remaining issues of the paper will be the most successful in Radiator history. The Radiator takes this opportunity to ex- press to the faculty and pupils of Somerville High School its most sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 71 The Phantom of the Sea By Martha E. Cheney HAVE traveled much. Born at sea, I have ever loved it, and have all my days followed its stormy course from world’s end to world’s end. And when I am too old to travel farther, I will build a house on its shore and surround myself by my curios and my loved books. When I die, I desire that my body be dropped into its gray-green depths. Adventures? I have had them a-plenty; but the most thrilling of them all befell me about five hundred miles off the China coast. I was the only passenger aboard ship, but re- fused to be treated as such. I dined with the crew, making many friends in this way. Across that forecastle table the seamen exchanged stories, and I gladly joined in. One night, at supper, the oldest member of the crew men- tioned a new terror of the ocean. “Did ye ever ’ear tell o’ the ‘Ghost Ship’?” he demanded, jabbing his knife in my direction. “No,” I said. “I never seed ’er myself, to tell ’ee Gospel truth,” he went on. “But a matey o’ mine did. If un sees ut, un dies; sixty years gone, my matey did—‘n’ ’ee died!” Somehow, the idea of a ship foretelling the death of a man impressed me as absurd. I laughed. The old salt lifted a clawlike finger and shook it solemnly. “Avast thar,’ ” said he, “when ye sees ut, laugh!” I arose with another laugh, and left the com- pany. The night was clear. The waves, toss- ing endlessly against the horizon, were silver- tinted by the full moon. The only sound to break the stillness was the lap-lap of the sea against the vessel’s gently rolling sides. Then, somehow, the deathly quiet was heavy with nameless horror, as if it would warn of that which I was about to see. On that empty sea a ship arose. It was all green, like the ocean itself. Slowly, majestically it came on. Now in the moonlight I could see the Black Death’s head painted on its green sails. Not a sound came from its dim decks. Not a ghost of a breeze rippled the water on which we lay becalmed—yet that huge hulk moved I on. It was coming straight at us. I called to the watch: “Ship to starboard!” He came to the rail, stared upon the sea, looked at me queerly, and said:— “Thar’s not even a spar on the sea!” And the Phantom Ship came on. My knees shook. I gripped the rail. Its prow hit our bulwarks amidship. And there was not a sound in the starlight night; there was not a jar or a sound as it came through us! An icy wind swept over me. Right across our decks the Phantom Ship was passing. I saw its green planks, translucent. I saw its green deck, deserted. And I began to move; I had to go; I advanced slowly across those strange, green planks to- ward the cabin. A green fog closed over me. Through the open door shone an iridescent light, engulfing me, luring me. That threshold shone under my firm step. Now neither vessel moved. I entered the cabin. Piled high on an ebony table were thousands of gold pieces. Heaped carelessly on the cabin deck were jewels, jewels, jewels. Wildly beau- tiful was the great, black-draped painting on the wall. The picture was that of a lovely lady, with a gold crown on her head, a black box in her hands. She stood in the same cabin in which I stood, at her feet lay the same great heap of precious stones, by her side was the same ebony table with its heavy gold. Yet she had no eyes for these; she was gaz- ing into the ebony box in her hands with won- der and with delight. Then from the wild painting to me came wild yearning. What was in the box. Where was the box? I began to hunt for it through the green cabin; I thought the lady watched me hunt; I thought she strangely smiled. Some power made me search. And I found a secret panel, that opened under my hand—a narrow aperture in the carved, green wall. There, bedded in soft green mist, was the ebony box. With eager hands, I seized it. The lid opened easily. I was staring down, nearly blinded by its light, upon a single emerald, green as the sea, shot with strange lights, flashing, wink- ing, laughing at me. (Continued on Page 80) 72 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR An Unforgetable Experience at Camp Devens By Vincent F. J. Damiano, ’27 T was not a second after reveille was blown that the first sergeant’s whistle was heard in our bar- racks, meaning “to rise and shine,'’ in other words, to get ready for the day’s work. Everyone was up and out on the Company’s Street in time, for that was Monday, July 19, 1926, the day we all had looked forward to, because it was the day we were to take part in one of the greatest sham battles the Camp had ever witnessed. After the morning exercises were over, we had a hearty breakfast which, indeed, was no enemy to us. My chum and I remained at the breakfast table, because we had begun a con- versation which we wished to finish about the doings of the previous day. Time went by fast and no one had disturbed us as yet. At the most interesting point of our conversation, first call was blown. No sooner had we heard it than we were on our feet and made a wild rush for the sink to wash our dishes. Who should we run into but our “Top Kik- ker,” in other words our first sergeant. He gave us one good look and then let his prepared vocabulary fly at us. “Say, what’s this any- way, it’s too late now for you’se to wash your dishes. What you want to do and the best thing for you to do is to get in uniform for to- day’s battle and fall in with the rest of the company. I’ve been looking all over the area for you two. Now make it snappy and get ready or you will not be able to go and besides that you’ll get K. P. You’ve only got ten min- utes before second call, so beat it.” No sooner had we regained consciousness from this call-down than we were at our bunks. We put our dishes underneath our mattress for we had no time to do anything else. The order •of uniform for the day was stripped packs, oiled helmets, woolen breeches, woolen shirts, and black neckties. When second call was blown, we were in uniform and in our respec- tive places in the company formation. Orders soon came down and we started on our march to the grounds where we were to take part in the battle. No talking was done in the ranks during the hike and nothing but the tramping of our feet on the dirt road broke the silence. We soon arrived at our destina- tion and were again formed in company forma- tion. The regular army had already arrived and settled themselves in the trenches which we had dug a few days previous. At our arrival they immediately started the battle, and it wasn’t long before all kinds of noises were heard. Our captain, namely, Captain Lewis Ed- munds, received his orders from his superior officer and gave us our last instructions. We then ground our arms at the rear of the last supporting trench and proceeded forward to- wards the banks of the Nashua River which was about a hundred yards from where we were. We advanced under cover of the regu- lar’s fire against the enemy who were on the other side of the river. We quickly began putting up the foot pon- toon bridges which were piled up along the banks of the river. While we were busily put- ting them up, the demolition squad had, under the supervision of Captain Edmunds, started cutting up the fuses to their right size and put- ting them in sticks of dynamite and T. N. T. cans. After we had put up the light pontoons, we started putting up the heavy pontoon bridges which were supposed to be used for the cavalry and artillery to cross over into the enemy’s territory. Orders were being heard from all directions. One of the outstanding ones was that two reg- ular army men were to swim across the river with full packs and with their rifles slung over their shoulders, and observe the enemy’s whereabouts. One of them succeeded in cross- ing but the other did not get half way across before he had to be dragged in and revived. Presently, the men on the demolition squad were about fifty feet away from us busily throwing the T. N. T. explosives into the river and giving the battle a realistic effect. The bridge was about half way across the river when we were stunned by a terrific explosion. Several of the men working on the bridge were knocked down by its concussion. In a short time everyone was at the scene of the disaster. It was our captain who had been hurt and four other men from four different companies in our regiment. The ambulances were soon at the scene and two men put our captain on a stretcher. He tried to sit up but he fell back unconscious. He had lost his right leg and his left hand in the explosion. The victims were quickly taxen to the camp hospital. We all returned to our barrack broken- (Continued on Page 80) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 73 “Vengeance Is Mine’’ By Harry V. Martin, 27 Prologue PflpSBSSILL this earth of ours ever be totally destroyed? Will every form of life some day be swept from this wonderful planet and be cast into No man has the authority to an- swer these questions. There is only One who knows and He will tell the selected ones when that time approaches. Otherwise than that, some day, every form of life will be totally de- stroyed. Preachers and lecturers have discussed the ending of the earth from the pulpit and the stage, but they have usually said that God would next destroy the earth by fire. This may be true, but who knows. I am willing to vouch that there is not a single person in the world that knows when, and if, the earth will be de- stroyed by fire. I have tried to bring forth the more possible of all the ideas regarding the passing on of this planet. This is, the colliding of the earth with some other heavenly body. I have taken for my star, Alpha Centauri, a brilliant first magnitude star that can only be seen south of the equator. Alpha Centauri is four and three- tenths light years away. Light travels approx- imately one hundred and eighty-six miles per second or about six trillion miles each year. This makes Alpha Centauri about twenty-six trillion (26,000,000,000,000) miles away. The Story A warm, moonlit evening in April greeted the teachers and professors of Melbourne, Aus- tralia, as they gathered for their regular monthly meeting at Yates College. When Professor Libby, of the Victoria Col- lege, London, England, opened the meeting, about forty or fifty men and women, mostly professors and scientists of Yates, were gath- ered in the lecture room of the observatory. The meeting was opened by prayer offered by the Rev. O’Donnell. Following this the report of the secretary and treasurer and re- ports from the different committees were read. Following this was a few selections by the Glee Club of the College and then Professor Libby introduced the principal speaker of the eve- ning, a Professor Schade, of the Wheliem Uni- versity of Berlin, Germany. Professor Schade arose, he was not a man who could attract people by his personality. He was a short, round-shouldered man, with long white hair and large shaggy eyebrows, his hands seemed to be long bones without any fat upon them. This was the personage that was presented to the men and women gathered for the meeting; this man was the person who was to give them the first rumblings of the ap- proaching crisis which no person could pos- sibly prevent. He gave as his subject, “Obser- vations of Alpha Centauri.” His talk was short and brief. He pointed out to his listen- ers that Alpha Centauri had approached nearer the earth—three-tenths of a light year—and if it continued coming, it would come some- where near us. His talk caused quite a little comment and even amusement among the other teachers, one or two were even so impolite that they laughed aloud and said that it was nothing but super- stition on the part of Professor Schade. Pro- fessor Schade, filled with indignation, arose, and with his long, lean forefinger, pointed to the laughing, criticising group and spoke in loud excited tones:— “You have mocked me, may the curse of the omushing Alpha Centauri be upon you.” After saying this he turned abruptly and left the hall. When he had gone, more and more joined in the laughter and soon the whole room was laughingly joking about Professor Schade and his strange curse. No more business could be enacted under the conditions prevailing and a motion to adjourn was soon made and carried. As the teachers and professors left the col- lege to go to their respective rooms and homes, they looked silently up at the star that the strange professor had cursed upon them. Al- pha Centauri looked no larger or brighter than any other time, but the seriousness with which the curse was given them, held them in awe but not one of them believed it could ever be fulfilled, at least during their generation. A week passed and a special meeting had been called by Mr. Clauss, Dean of Yates Col- lege. The teachers and professors gathered again in the lecture room of the observatory. 74 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Mr. Clauss, a short, chubby, red-faced man in a white linen suit, arose and said:— “Ladies and gentlemen, I have called this meeting at the suggestion of Professor Ostling, of the astronomical department, who has a few words to say to you. No more preliminaries are needed and Professor Ostling will speak briefly so that we may get out of this warm room as it is quite uncomfortable. Professor Ostling.” Professor Ostling stepped forward to the front of the platform. He was a tall, gaunt, skeleton of a man, with a head like the brush part of a broom. His clothes were fitted more for a shorter person, especially his trousers, as they showed a wide stripe of white stocking. Professor Ostling spoke in a fine, clear-cut voice that seemed to enthrall his audience. “Ladies and gentlemen, my message tonight will be short and to the point. During the past week, if you have noticed, the weather has been growing warmer, especially at night. This is not a short spell of warm weather but will con- tinue to great extremities. “Last night the distance of our accursed star, Alpha Centauri, was only three light years. Friends, Alpha Centauri is really approaching the Solar system at a terrific rate of speed! Nothing can be done but I have great reason to believe that the nearest that this onrushing gaseous mass will come, will be about the same distance as our sun and will go by without ap- parently much danger, although the heat of Alpha Centauri will no doubt be terrific.” The meeting broke up without any formali- ties. Again the teachers and professors looked up to the star that had been cursed upon them. The star appeared brighter, well—yes—it was brighter than last week. They looked at the star, no one spoke, they all seemed to feel al- ready the calamity that was approaching. A day passed and night again threw her cloak of darkness on the suffering earth. But, alas, darkness brought no relief to the people on our planet, for, beside the full moon in the sky, there was another, although only about one half the size of the moon. It appeared brighter. This was the Alpha Centauri! The heat from this star combined with the sun on the other side of the earth was making a regular hell out of this fair world. When dawn again broke the silent reign of night, it brought with it a little relief as the flaming star was on the other side of the earth but as the sun rose higher in the heavens, the heat once more began to become unbearable. The heat of the sun combined with that of Al- pha Centauri was beginning to tell on the earth. Out on the drab plains, the cattle and livestock unable to stand this new terrifict heat, laid down and died, while in the city, babies and old persons were passing away by the score. In the square and public places of almost every city, large groups of people gathered to pray to God for relief. They sung songs and prayed aloud but He seemed not to hear their pleas. In the country places where once pretty little brooks rippled through the green mead- ows, nothing but the dry sand of the bed of the brooks and dried up grass could be seen. On came Alpha Centauri! People all over the world were dying like roasted meats. No relief had come, prayers had been of no avail. The heat was killing the people, very few re- mained even now, most of these were near either one pole or the other. The animals of the wildwood came out of the forests afraid of this new terror that was scorching the earth. Another day and night pass. What was once a habitation of billions of people is now noth- ing. Nothing is the world. What was once great metropolise of the world was now noth- ing but warped contortions of steel and iron; what was once the forest lands of the world was now nothing but black ashes; what was once the great oceans and seas was nothing but large blistering deserts. Huge volcanic erup- tions threw lava and stone into the air for miles. Earthquakes made large holes, cracks and crevices hundreds of miles long and miles deep on the surface of the entire planet. On- ward came that burning mass of gases Alpha Centauri like a huge demon seeking prey. It appeared like a huge ball of fire in the heavens during the night. Darkness was now but a sort of shadow between the setting of the sun and the rising of the larger and brighter light. Thundering through space. Alpha Centauri hit our sun, the centre of our Solar system, but this collision did not even check the advance of the runaway star. Nothing could stop Alpha Centauri now, it was only a few hours when the dying planet, our earth, was called into eternity by the maddening rush through space of Alpha Centauri. The earth was no more. The Solar system was forever destroyed. Was this the venge- ance of God? Was Professor Schade a disciple of Him, if he wasn’t, why did his curse come true? These questions you must figure out yourself. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 75 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Alice L. Dunlap, Library Editor It happened sometime during the present Senior Class’s Junior year. The customary groups had settled into their customary sec- tions of the room—and each group consisted of the customary assortment of young people. There were dark ones, fair ones—well, just the usual types—several girls, and a fellow or two lingering on for the sole purpose of “kidding.” In the particular group to be spoken of, was a little girl who watched and listened with won- der but said never a word. Her eyes were dark and shadowed, her voice soft and hesitant from her wavering knowledge of English. Through grit she had partly mastered the customs and peculiarities of a strange nation. Everyone about her sat in the lazy position of persons temporarily freed from discipline, but the little girl sat erectly. The main topic had been the tyranny of teachers in general. The sneakers had so far relieved their souls as to reach the point of admitting exceptions to the rule; it reminded them of history—English History. “You know” (this was a tall girl with a pat- ronizing smile), “You know in England you’re not all mixed up with all kinds of people—for- eigners. Here, there are so few real Ameri- cans. I’m thankful my ancestors came over on the Mayflower. I’d hate to be anything but an American—a real one I means.” The little dark girl’s hands opened and shut miserably. Her eyes flashed but the words of this new language failed to come to her when she most needed them. She hated more fer- vently than ever before everybody and every- thing but that country across the water where the people were her own, where her ways were understood. One of the boys wheeled around suddenly. “Americans!” he said, “what do you mean. Being an American doesn’t mean being prig- gish, and snobbish, and narrow-minded. When a fellow respects this old flag—loves the country and is willing to go by the laws and has respect for the other Americans—then, he is one. Your people came over here a couple of hundred years ago, but they were coming to a strange place—they were foreigners, weren’t they? Well, so’s lots of others who’ve just come over. Years from now their great-grand-kids ’ll be Americans. ’Twasn’t your fault you were born on this end instead a’ that. This is anybody's country who’s on the level and ready to stick to it and that’s what an American is.” Nobody moved for a moment, and it was the dark-eyed girl who spoke first. Her head was thrown back and great confidence was behind her words. She said:— “I am happy. America it is my country.” That little incident has not much actual bear- ing on the real subject but it is suggestive of the underlying theme of “The Melting Pot,” by Israel Zangwill, which is, in a nutshell, the question, “What Constitutes an American?” The story of a classroom served to bring it down to our own High School level for the mo- ment. “The Melting Pot” is best summarized in a paragraph from the book itself:— (Continued on Page 80) 76 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR SIR NIGEL’S NEW YEAR’S EYE By Arline H. Drake, '29 Sir Nigel, glancing at his clock, sprang up with startled look; “Ho, boy! (asleep! I see I needs must bring my page to book.) Time flies: no more may I put off my raiment to put on; As I’m a guest, methinks ’twould best become me to begone.” “Fetch hither, boy, my hat and cloak—and be not long!” quoth he. (“I can’t,” put in the saucy lad: “I’m only three feet three.”) “Come on—let’s off! And bring a torch to guide us with its spark, Though light within, without, without, without a doubt, ’tis dark.” At rapid gait they passed the walk and, walking past the gates, Espied Sir Guy. “Well met,” cried he. “I started in to wait Until you started out; but zounds! this icy blast, I see Is passing keen; this e’en, I ween, ’tis best indoor to be!” The night seems rather chilly so we’d best not linger long, But mend our pace and quick repair to where Count Dingledong, A-welcoming a well-commingled throng within his hall. Gave gracious greeting to his guests and gladly glowed on all. ’Mid light and warmth our friends full soon shook off their shivery state; (“Ha!” quoth Sir Guy, “that open fire, one must admit, is grate!”) “They’re dancing!” cried Sir Nigel; “to be left would not be right!” And off he made a maid to seek and trip a measure light. The count’s provision for his guests was lavish as could be. “I count that count’s of small account that counts the cost,” quoth he. With mirth and music, feast and fun, the moments sped amain, So when the host for quiet called, to stop they were full fain. The count had counted on his guests to help the fun along. Sir Cecil played a solo; Lady Wheezer sang a song. That she failed to get an encore could scare be won- dered at, For though her voice was wonderous sharp, she sang extremely flat. Sir Wibble and Sir Wobble cut short their song and dance When Sir Wibble tripped Sir Wobble up (he said it was by chance.) Count Cutup did some magic tricks imagine what a shock it Occasioned when he pulled six eggs from old Sir Woozle’s pocket! When Lady Linda started in a tale of ghosts tell Her hearers listened in a trance, quite spellbound for a spell. Sir Fiddget fell right off his chair, and dropped his ap- ple tart. “I’m all upset,” quoth he, “that finish gave me such a start!” At supper’s call the suppers all enjoyed a banquet rich. “No past repast has e’er surpassed this one,” quoth Baron Snitch; “At such a feast, in fine, I find it fine to be a guest. Where viand doth with viand vie and each appears the best!” The tolling bell at last had told ’twas time to end the fun. By twos and threes, by foot and coach (but all by half past one), The guests had gaily gone their way: and as he watched them leave The Count resolved, “I’ll give a party every New Year’s Eve!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 77 Ernest Sackett, Editor RADIATOR CONTEST Hear ye!

Carrier, of the short stories, John A. Avery, Miss Gladys Hastings and Robert Kenny, a teacher of English in Northeastern College. CHRISTMAS PLAY On December 21, 1926, a one-act play was given entitled “Let There Be Light.” The cast was small and consisted of Man, Frank Elwell; Priest, Elliot Hall; Cripple, Hope Blaisdell; Soldier, James Pierce; Chorus, a group representing both the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs. The play was a very emotional one requiring most strenuous acting upon the part of the Man, Frank Elwell. He played his part excel- lently, and efficiently impressed the audience which remained in dead silence. The whole drama was an excellent production and all acted well. The theme of the play was the efforts of the Priest to convince the Man that there was a God and to create in him the proper Christ- mas spirit. By the appearance of the Cripple, the Soldier, both resembling his lost children, and the Carolers, he was finally won over. The play was given three times, twice to the school, and a third time to the public with an added program. POETRY CLUB The third meeting of the Poetry Club was held January 5, in Room 110, at 2 o’clock. The first part of the program, beginning with a short sketch of Whittier, was made up 78 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR of well-known “Snow” poems, such as Whit- tier’s “Snowbound,” “The Snow Storm” by Emerson, etc. “What It Is to Hate Poetry ’ written by Lord Dunsany, was read, and also a report, “A Boy’s Love for Poetry.” Not a little of the success of the meeting was due to the original poetry. We had new contributors, Joseph Corish, Stanley Whyte, and Betty Russell. And we also had verse by Lorna Proudfoot, Bertha Corfield, Stella Ellis, and John Pierce. Read their poems when they have been compiled in the anthology for they are worth reading and may inspire you. Mrs. Topliff spoke about the “new voices” in the club and the steady improvement of those who have been regularly contributing. She said something else that was of much in- terest, but come to the next meeting and you shall learn what it was. WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY—GUEST NIGHT The Webster Debating Society held its an- nual open night December 7, 1926. The meet- ing opened with President Arnold Finley pre- siding. Following the roll call, the secretary gave his report of the previous meeting. The marshal’s report was given and the chairman of the executive committee presented applica- tions for membership to the society from Eu- gene Gorrill, Donald Hurd, Wallace Spencer, Philip Echstrane and Armedee Boudreau. Af- ter the report of the Literary Committee, came the main debate and feature of the evening. The question for debate was Resolved: “That the states should ratify the child labor amend- ment.” The question was ably upheld on the affirmative by Messrs. James Carney, Gordon Pratt and Fred Sharkey; on the negative by Messrs. John Hayes, Herbert Gilbert and Joseph Corish. The critic for the evening was John Pierce. The debate was very interesting and showed that the Webster Debating Society trains its members well in the art of public speaking. After the debate, the guests were further interested by the rebuttle in which every debator participated. A vote on the merits of the debate resulted unamimously in favor of the negative. This was followed by a voluntary debate af- ter which those who had applied for member- ship were elected into the society. The ques- tion for debate December 21, 1926, was decided upon: Resolved: “That the co-educational sys- tem in the Somerville High School should be abolished.” The speakers were: on the affirma- tive, Messrs. Lewis Tuttle and Edmund Mas- sello. Representing the negative: Messrs. Good- win Prentiss and Kollington. The Interscholastic Debate Committee gave its report stating that a debate was planned with Everett in Febru- ary. During the miscellaneous business per- iod, a motion was carried to the effect that a committee be appointed to determine the date and whereabouts of the annual banquet. This committee was later appointed and consisted of Donald Hurd, Arnold Finley and Lewis Tut- tle. After this appointment, the meeting was adjourned bringing to an end a very success- ful open night, which was nothing special, noth- ing extra, but just an ordinary meeting such as is held every week in the Somerville High School. The meeting was attended by about 300 people. NEW TEACHERS Miss M.

THE PHANTOM OF THE SEA (Continued from Page 71) As I stood transfixed, the Phantom Ship stirred. It moved, it glided on. I turned and fled from the green cabin; and as I crossed the threshold, with the ebony box in my hand, the painting fell from the wall, the ebony table split across. I shrieked as I ran. The silence of the night was rent by a sound as of frail veiling slashed by a sword. I fled from that green deck, and fell headlong upon the beautiful, brown planks of my own vessel just as the Phantom Ship passed through and through it. I knew no more until I found myself in my berth, the ebony box still in my stiff hands. The good old Captain was bending over me. “What’s come over ye, lad?” he asked. “We found ye stretched out by the larboard rail like a dead man!’’ In shaking voice, I told my story—and as proof, opened the ebony box to show the emer- ald. The box was empty. I tumbled from the bunk, staggered to the port-hole, and flung the thing far into the sea. AN UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE AT CAMP DEVENS (Continued from Page 72) hearted. Word quickly came to us that prob- ably blood transfusion would save our captain’s life, whereupon we all volunteered to have our blood tested for the transfusion. But he had gone to the world unknown to man before the apparatus to test our blood came. The other men who were hurt revived and their condition improved. It was a mystery how it all happened until one of the fellows who was slightly hurt solved it for us. When the T. N. T. explosives were being thrown into the river, they caused the water to splash high and far, wetting the fuses in the T. N. T. cans. The captain, not noticing it, lit one which appeared to be a “dud.” He put it beside the box full of the others, and no sooner had he done so than it exploded, setting off those in the box also. What we thought would be an enjoyable battle turned out to be a disastrous one. We all regret the loss of our captain, and to show our respect for him we still keep our “company spirit,” although he does not lead us any more. THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT (Continued from Page 75) “America is God’s Crucible, the great Melt- ing Pot where all the races of Europe are melt- ing and re-forming! Here you stand, good folk, think I, when I see them at Ellis Island, here you stand—in your fifty groups, with your fifty languages and histories, and your fifty blood hatreds and rivalries. But you won’t be long like that, brothers, for these are the fires of God you’ve come to—these are the fires of God. A fig for your feuds and vendettas! Ger- mans and Frenchmen, Irishmen and English- men, Jews and Russians—into the Crucible with you all! God is making the American.” The very force of the story would be the cause of its dullness but Zangwill has intui- tively lightened it with laughable moments sup- plied by Kathleen, an Irish woman, in the em- ploy of a Jewish family. Later on Pappelmeis- ter, a musician, brightens things considerably. There are glimpses of old world color and flashes of pain now and then but it is good read- ing—truthfully entertaining. It admittedly holds a moral but it does not scream out, for Zangwill has used the clever method of win- ning your sympathy, and not until then, whis- pering the lesson in your ear. The “Melting Pot” is typical of any number of the more serious plays that are meeting success and being still recreative though not filled to overflowing with frivolity.

Heard in Physics:— Mr. Hall: “Merry, why aren’t you in your right seat?” Merry, a bright scholar: “Impossible, Mr. Hall. Someone is there and two bodies can- not occupy the same space at the same time.” We all extend our sympathy to Miss Boole in her recent bereavement. Teacher: “Why are you continually behind in your studies?” Pupil: “Oh! so I can pursue them, you see.” Nathan Yanco has invented and patented a new graft, grafting in geometry. Although Room 115 is the “Wall Street” of Somerville High School, our stock of invest- ments (banking) is low. However, our stock may go up.

Though pupils came from many different rooms, namely Rooms 102, 103, 105, 111, 110, 121, they are fast becoming friends and after a little longer acquaintance intend to do a great many things. As proctor the class has chosen Charles Finn, who has also been chosen by the class as treas- urer. Evidently Charles Finn ranks very high in the eyes of his classmates in Room 128. Room 114 is well represented on the track squad, but we fear the only thing some of them will break, is their ankles. By the way, we’ll bet it’s cold running around the outdoor track at Dilboy Field this weather in running pants. Mr. Hall: “Which formula would you use, these or those?” H. U—Iw—n: “Them.” R—b—t W—tts: “Now if I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a burglar in my room and he had a gun-----” Mr. P-----: You’d better pull the sheets over your head.” Five Latest Songs “Elsie” song: “Elsie You in My Dreams.” “Hotel” song: “Hotel Me Vyhere’s My Sweetie Hiding.” “Cheese” song: “Cheese Just a Girl That Men Forget.” “Police” song: “Police Play for Me That Sweet Melody.” “Oilcan” song: “My Oilcantucky Home.” C—rn—y: “What! Do you think that brick you have will keep me from coming over there?” G—lb—t: “No! But it’s going to delay your departure after you get here!” Prize Contest! Celluloid stovepoker will be given to Junior or Sophomore who can pronounce correctly this word: “Phthogognyrrh.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 Submit answers to H. Gilbert, Room 115. Answer next month. Room 113 has the privilege of having many of its members on the perfect attendance list for the first quarter. Certainly with the com- ing of the New Year and all our good resolu- tions we should be able to double our present percent. Room 110’s consecutive weeks of 100% de- positors remained unbroken after the week’s vacation. Heard in history on a rainy day:— Fupil: “The secretary of agriculture has charge of the weather bureau.” Mr. C—r—i—r: “He made a poor job of it today.” Diogenes lighted a candle in the daytime and went about looking for an honest man. Pupil: “Did he find him?” On the mule we find, two legs behind, And two we find before; We find the two behind, before We find the two before. If some corridor is congested and you can take another route just as short, take it! Hold back on talk! Room 105 is going to try to have a larger perfect attendance list, hoping that Dexter Wise will be able to get here earlier and more often. We all wish that George Cole would not be so quiet. We hardly know he is in the room __? M—G—u—rn: “Did you hear about the wooden wedding?” H—s—e—t: “No, what happened?” M—G—u—rn: “To Poles got married.” Mother: “Mary, did you mail the letter I gave you?” Mary: “Yes, ma-ma.” Mother: “Then why have you still got the two cents for the stamp?” Mary: “I didn’t need a stamp. I dropped the letter in the box when the man wasn’t look- ing.” 1928 Olive B. MacPherson, Editor Sylvia Brown, Assistant riditor Laugh and the world grins doubtfully and gazes enviously. Have occasion to weep and your true friends are registered on memory’s tablet. Junior: “Yes, school is 0. K. I don’t allow my studies to interfere with my education.” Heard in 310:— Teacher to pupil: “Take that seat in the corner permanently for the time being.” The Junior Class is full of willing people! Some willing to work, and the rest willing to let them. J. B. told C. T. that she was dull and she bluntly disproved the accusation by cutting him. The nickname of a student in 323 is IT 2 O. and Mr. A. giving warning of averages for quarter announced: “Waters—C (sea).” Many Sophs, talk like a book but you can’t shut them up the same way.

From the lips of a wise pupil:— “Say John, do you know why they’re going to put whiskers on Fords?” John: “No, why?” Wise Pupil: “To make them look like A. Lincoln.” Soph.: “Please sir, where is the principal’s office ?” Senior: “Follow the main corridor until you come to the sign ‘No Admittance.’ Go upstairs till you see the sign reading ‘Keep Out.’ Fol- low that corridor till you see the sign ‘Silence,’ then yell for him.” In 305 we have our share of honorables. Eleanor Taapkin, Grace Hayes and Georgianna Morey are maximum credit pupils. Ernest All- ison, Rebecca Kennard, Paul Martin, David Nissenbaum, Myra Preston, Marjorie Russ, and Curtis Townsend are on the credit list. Allison and George Goodwin were on the football squad. Goodwin is the treasurer of the class of 1928. Ruth Hodges is the vice-president of 84 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the class. Curtis Townsend has been elected proctor in the elections recently. In Agnes Fitzpatrick we have a worthy songbird, whose melodious voice recently thrilled us. We have a jazz orchestra leader in Henry Levitson. The traffic squad is represented by Dorothy Gordon, Ernest Morris and Henry Levitson. Our girls were members of the winning girls’ physical training group. Rebecca Kennard recently re- turned from a Canadian trip. You all know the type. She never misses a Harvard-Yale game—over the radio. There is no secret of success but work. Some pupils seem to confine their equipment of polish to their shoes. Although they did not win, we are proud of the boys from 326, who were in the drill com- petition. Donald Collins was elected proctor; Norman Watt, treasurer; Muriel Hight, assistant, of Room 322. 1929 Marion Smith, Editor Robert Forbes, Assistant Editor Room 122 Although Room 122 has not yet reached the goal of 100% in banking, our number of deposi- tors is increasing each banking day. Stanley Robinson has been re-elected proctor and Margaret McPhail, assistant proctor. Room 202 Edwin Runey has been elected our proctor, and Josephine Wardrobe, his assistant. _____ Miss Tuell urges her class to start the new year right by resolving to talk less to each other, and more to the teachers in way of reci- tation. Room 211 We have settled down to hard work after our Christmas vacation. Our physical training group has elected two new drill leaders, Marie Flynn and Thelma Kel- ley. Our proctor, John Good, has been a Good proctor so we re-elected him. The assistant proctor is Wilfred Graham. Room 21 At the last election of class proctors, Arthur Mac-Lean was re-elected assistant proctor. Room 21 has 100 per cent, membership in the Thrift Club. Miss Solano and pupils are striving to have Room 21 the neatest Sophomore room in the building. The two new physical leaders are Archie Craig for the boys, and Ruth Anderson for the girls. Room 222 The membership of 222 is somewhat smaller owing to the withdrawal of Florence Valsam, who has gone to Bridgeport. Conn. Ermate Balboni has also left us. We now have just enough seats for our enrollment of sixty-four. Room 215 Our newly-elected proctor and assistant proc- tor are Edwin Peterson and Lawrence O’Con- nell. Our new physical training leaders are Cath- erine Thornton and George MacDowell. Room 209 Owing to the “gentle push” our teacher has given us, our percentage in banking has im- proved and we hope to make a better record in the near future. Our newly-elected proctor is James Hall, and his assistant is Margaret Leahy. The girls of 209 with their mates of 210 re-elected their gymnastic leaders. We of Room 214 are striving for 100% in attendance. Dorothy West was again elected proctor by a large majority, and James McGinnis, assist- ant proctor. Room 213 Back again at school with memories of a week’s vacation behind us and before us the de- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 termination to begin the New Year well by try- ing to have perfect attendance and punctuality, good conduct and 100% in banking. Harold Frankel has left us and gone to Rox- bury. We wish him luck there. We have a new member in our room, Stanley Plumer. We hope he likes his new room and the pupils in it. Room 206 In the election of class proctors Amedee Boudreau was elected proctor and Clyde Gold- thwaite, assistant proctor. Room 210 The Sophomores of Room 210 wish to extend to the Radiator Staff and to the entire school best wishes for a happy and successful year in 1927. In the recent election for proctor, Charles Quinn was re-elected and Dorothy Myers was made assistant proctor. In the election for girls’ exercise leaders, Margaret Spering and Ernestine McLean were re-elected. These girls served very faithfully the first two quarters as leaders. We wish to express the sorrow we feel at this time for our classmate, Margaret Spering, who has suffered the loss of her father. Room 226 Room 226 claims the Sophomore Thrift Cam- pionship with an average of 95% for the year and four days of 100%. On January 5, we elected for our room proctor, Marie Accolla, and for assistant proc- tor, Edwina Trundy. ATHLETICS Paul Mclnnis was elected captain of the 1927 football team by the lettermen, Tuesday, Jan- uary 4. The track team holds practice daily at Dil- boy Field in anticipation of some meets later in the season. Mr. Dickerman has just cause for complaint at the attendance. One day there is a large number present and another very few. If this condition does not improve there probably will be no meets. Come along and help out the school.

The stars are really the most interesting part of it and offer opportunities to do extra work. We never knew that there was such a short- age of water in dear old Somerville High School until it took Jennie Gilbert and Audrey Taylor from 2.85 to 2.50 Eastern Standard Time to find a glass of it for Mrs. Topliff at a recent meeting of the Players’ Club. Now that the Christmas rush is over, the turkey devoured, the epidemic of hideous neck- ties in full sway and everyone methodically breaking their New Year’s resolutions, it is time to settle down to our old friends—our school books. The apparition of report cards is be- ginning to appear through the covers of his- tory, astronomy and other popular treatises of educational value. The latest story about the meanest man is the one about Mr. P.’s borrowing Gary’s knife to sharpen a pencil and then to write down a D for Gary. “Is your sister going to practice her singing lessons this afternoon?” “Yes, why do you ask?” “Oh, I just wanted to know if I could borrow your lawn mower.” Dumb: “What’s a myth?” Dumber: “A female moth.”—Bison. “Fighting is all right as long as you do it in- telligently.” “Yes, but you can’t always find a smaller man.” “Sending Vera any flowers tonight?” “What for? Did she die?”—Stanford Chap- erral. “The more we see of brunettes—the more we see of brunettes!”—Louisville Satyr. “The world’s greatest tragedy—the pecula- tor fell off the stove and strained its coffee.— California Wampus. “Love—the delusion that one woman differs from another.”—Annapolis Log. Anybody: “What would you do if you’d had five dates with a fellow and he hadn’t offered to kiss you ?” Somebody: “I’d lie about it!”—Carnegie Puppet. “Twinkle, twinkle, cheap cigar, how I wonder what you are?”—Rice Owl. “Home is a place where you have your mail sent.”—Arizona. “What an innocent girl she is!” “Yes, it’s taken her years to acquire that in- nocence.”—Drexerd. “I’m a thanksgiving girl,” said she. “Is that all?” said he. A Miss is often good for a mile. How do mothers learn about things they tell their daughters to avoid??? El—an—r G—: “Oh, Jack, that candy makes my mouth water.” J.

The Senior Play is a long-established tradition firmly founded in the Senior classes of past years. Bearing this in mind, the Class of ’27 takes great pride in be- ing able to carry on this tradition to the credit of Somerville High School. The very success of the play depends upon the immediate response of the Senior Class. Seniors, it is your event, it cannot be complete without your presence or be successful without your heartiest co-operation. The players have spent many tedious hours in preparation that they may be able to present one of the most excellent performances ever produced behind the footlights of Clayton Ellis Hall. The spirit of the Class of ’27 will clearly be manifested on Friday, February 18. Seniors, it is up to you individually. In our support of such an event we best signify our apprecia- tion of the worthy efforts of Miss Bell, who has so gladly undertaken the coaching of the play, and our appreciation also of our fellow classmates. It has been with the greatest enthusiasm that the citizens of Somerville and those more directly concerned, the pupils of Somerville High, have received the announcement of plans for the new High School building. It certainly is a commendable move on the part of the city and it is gratefully received. We only hope it materializes soon and does not remain as a proposal or merely a “castle in the air,” but rather materializes into a “castle” on the land on which our present building stands. In this issue of the Radiator the staff takes great pleasure in publishing the essay, short story and poem receiving first prizes in the Radiator Contest. We, of the staff, feel that our efforts have been well repaid having re- ceived such excellent material. We trust that this same standard may continue and be an in- spiration to other pupils both in school and throughout life. The pupils of Somerville High extend their deepest sympathy to one who has guided the destinies of the public schools of Somerville for many years, Mr. Charles S. Clark, and sin- cerely trust that his recovery will be as rapid as possible. We admire the spirit which he shows in carrying on his work from his bed in the hos- pital. Look for the second prize story, essay, and poem in our next issue. Congratulations to those pupils whose names are on the honor list for the second quarter. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 07 Memories By Queene Pambookjian, ’27 The story winning first prize in the Radiator Contest Come back to me old memories of mine, How sad and torturous you may be, To one who suffered much like me; Yet! let me live old days gone by- But for today. HY is it human nature to recall days gone by, especially those that have been more torturous than others ? Now, as I am sitting at my desk, looking at the blank paper, the old days, passed in a period of sadness and horror, in a long train appear before my eyes. I am living them again, I can see all, all that happened when I was a little girl. The great and open massacre of 1915 and 1916 had already passed away like gathered clouds, and the few unfortunate Armenians, who were saved from the bloody sword of the Turks, seemed to be called to life again. My family consisting of my mother, brother, little sister, and me, after many hardships during the massacre, was saved by the generosity and the kindness of a Kurd Sheik, Mahmad Hassan, but this was especially due to the Sheik’s daughter Fatima, who acted as our Guardian Angel in the period of our exile. She was in- deed the kindest soul I ever met. We stayed in their palace more than a year. Though our days were passed with the hardest labor, yet what labor would not be given to buy life? Soon came a time when we had to keep up not only with our hard task, but also with fear from the bloody faced Hassan, the oldest son of the Sheik, who had just returned from war. He was very cruel, to me the most heartless creature on earth, his chief ambition in life be- ing to see his fellow men suffer. The first week he did not speak to us, but from his cruel and sharp glances we knew that he was not friendly to us. The next week he told us that, in order to stay in his home, we must speak Kurdish, and learn the Mohamme- dan prayer. Was this possible? Possible to us Armenians, who had undergone all hardships, sufferings, massacres for our dear religion! My mother and Mrs. Mary, another lady who also was saved by Fatima, with her two sons and daughter, told him that we were ready to die, but never ready to accept his proposal. Fatima saw all this. She knew the cruelty and anger of her brother. She suffered as much as we did and tried to find us some means of escape. She kept my mother and Mrs. Mary near her all the time to avoid her brother’s cruelty, while her father, the old man, followed us, the chil- dren, everywhere we went, but this could not be continued. We could not remain under the same roof with one who wished to exult in our blood. At last a joyous day arrived, Hassan and all the young men of the village went on their annual hunting trips, which was going to last more than a week. Fatima, finding an oppor- tunity, secretly hired a guard who was going to take us, only the children, to the city which was four or five days’ journey. She wished to keep mother and Mrs. Mary to avoid suspicion for the time being, for mother and Mrs. Mary were with her every day and all the members of the family saw them. While on the other hand, not having much to do during the winter, we children passed our days in a small room near the stable, which was at the further end of the palace. This room was never visited by the members of the family. Therefore Fatima thought that if we escaped no one would notice it, at least not until we arrived in the city. As for my mother and Mrs. Mary, Fatima said she, herself, would take them to the city, for once a year she went to the city for purchases. The night of separation came. We all as- sembled in the little room, to make prepara- tions for the journey and to give prayers to the Almighty God to come to our aid. We were to leave at midnight, so we had a little time to sleep. But who could sleep? The room was filled with silent sobs, each wishing to conceal his or her tears from the other. I heard mother shedding many tears, but when I asked her why she cried, she pretended to be asleep. I also wept, but soon my weary eyelids closed in slumber. What grief can remain in a child’s mind more than an hour? I do not know how long I had slept, when in the midst of the gloomy darkness I heard mother saying, “Children, up! You must de- part.’’ “I do not want to go. Let me asleep,’’ cried I. But mother with many tender words made me get up. My little sister, only three years old, did not know what was passing, still up to this day it is a surprise to me, that when 98 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR mother dressed her up she did not even cry. I wonder if the child understood the seriousness of the time. My poor little brother who fol- lowed mother like Mary’s little lamb, that night did not utter a word of complaint. Unfortu- nate child, I can still see him standing near the fireplace to warm himself, while we were dressing. The silent tears were flowing down his rosy cheeks. In the courtyard four donkeys and a horse were ready for our use. I was placed on one donkey with my brother, while my sister was placed with Mrs. Mary’s daughter. Just at that time I realized the great responsibility before me; I was to act as a mother to two children. I asked myself, “What if we never meet mother again?” Fatima sobbing kissed us, and told us to remember her as one who loved us greatly. Then mother with a false smile on her face kissed us, and said, “Go, my children, and be good. Pray to God that we may meet again.” Then we were off in the darkness of the night. I looked back to the great walls of the palace more than twenty times, where I had left my dear mother. All night we traveled in silence, until slowly, slowly the day began to break. From a distance we heard a most mel- ancholy, most touching voice; the more we ad- vanced the nearer the voice came. At last turn- ing to the left, our eyes rested upon the most pitious sight. He was an old man with long hair whiter than snow, and his long beard cov- ered his breast. He was barefooted. He ap- proached us, looked at us, then with a laugh, a laugh that had a mystery behind it, he ran up the hill. We looked at each other wonder- ing who he was. Then the guard began to relate the sad his- tory of the old man. He said he had been a rich, powerful sheik, who had seven sons, six of whom were killed in war, while the youngest one, the light, the happiness of the old man, who also had gone to war, was never heard from. The old man long waited for his arrival. Alas! he never returned. Then the hopeless father became insane, left his home, friends, riches, and came to live in a cave near the road leading to the city. And every morning with the break of day, he went out believing that some day, some morning he would meet his son. The guard said, “He does the same thing to every traveler; he approaches, looks, laughs and runs back to the mountain, filling the air with his mournful song.” We did not ask any more questions, but remembered our mother weep- ing for us. After traveling a little more, we came to a beautiful garden. We looked around. There were no homes. Then we were led by a narrow passage, until we stopped near a cave which was the home of the villagers. We went in. At first we saw nothing for the place was very dark, but soon as our eyes became accustomed to the darkness, we saw that we were in a large room, which was divided into two parts by a fence, where men and animals lived together. It would cover pages if I should describe the character and the mode of living of that people, but I am sure that if one travels among them under happy circumstances, one will have a pic- ture of the ancient mode of living. We passed the day in that cave and in the night continued our journey. Thus we traveled until on the fourth day from a long distance we saw the city of Har- poot, our birthplace. Our hearts were filled with joy and grief, joy to see grandmother, grief for our separation from dear mother. Just then we saw two men approaching us. They asked the guard who we were, and where we were going. The guard explained all. The men said, “Take back the children for they are escaping one danger to meet a worst one. There is a great massacre in the city.” We turned back, back to the palace again. My brother was the happiest of all. Poor child, he did not know that that return was going to be his end, that he came to see, the last time, the city where he was born. We returned by the same way, passing another night in that dark cave. At noon we arrived at the palace, where all was silent. We went into the house, Mother was sitting near the fireplace with her sewing, but she was not sewing, she was dreaming. Hearing footsteps she raised her head and see- ing us, she said with a joyous cry, “Are you returned?” My brother threw himself on mother’s neck and began to cover her face with kisses. We stayed in that place until summer, until Hassan, the murderer, had a chance to fulfill his ambition. Yes, he did wash his sword with my innocent brother’s blood. A few days after, Hassan being called to the army again, we man- aged our escape, with the help of Fatima. We ran away, leaving a little one in a grave on top of the hill, whence I still hear his voice, crying, “Take me with you! Take me with you.” O cruel memory of mine Thou hast done more than I asked thee, Thou hast once more opened the hidden memories which I long wished to hide. Yet it seems thou servest to make my present life a Paradise to me. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 99 Men’s Clothes By Charles E. Ransom, ’27 The essay winning first prize in the Radiator Contest (Note: The author docs not speak of women's clothes because he has no confidence in th - Ideas of one sex concerninK what the other should wear, having been the victim of such ideas all his life.) attitude toward their clothes changed in the last fifty years, he old days, I am told, people 1 to boast of the length of time f made their clothes last. Some old people still do. The changing styles were formerly considered the affecta- tions of the idle rich. I, myself, remember the time when humorous magazines were full of gibes at the deference women paid to fash- ions. Now all this is changed. It is a disgrace to be seen in old clothes. Trousers are pressed to make them look new. It is considered neces- sary to keep up with the styles in order to be successful in business. In fact, we are fast becoming a nation of fops. It is advertising that has wrought this great change. The clothing interests think up new styles every little while so that old clothes can easily be detected. By a skillful and continu- ous advertising campaign they have created the impression that the fashions mysteriously come and go of their own volition, and that it is up to us—that is, of course, if we are “the well-dressed man”—to keep up with them. Only the other day an “ad” insolently stated that we MUST wear blue overcoats, that we MUST be shaped like a V, with slim hips and very broad shoulders. It was illustrated by a pic- ture of a V-shaped man with a blue overcoat, and very smug and self-satisfied he looked, too. I can imagine the style experts who selected blue chuckling with one another at the poor sheep who would throw away their perfectly good gray overcoats of last season and buy blue ones. “Fashion emphatically favors blue overcoats.” And who is Fashion? Why, WE, the style experts! But the style experts and buyers for the big stores can do more than merely periodically alter the shape and color of our clothes. They can introduce new kinds of clothes and insti- tute permanent changes, provided that these changes are improvements. The union suit, a union of the old-fashioned shirt and drawers, was unheard of a generation ago. Pajamas were introduced from British India, where they sleep without blankets, so that night-shirts would not do. The Tuxedo, which has replaced the tail-coat for formal dress in this country, is not mentioned in the Century Dictionary of 1899. “Knickers” were worn only by young boys and cyclists until the clothing business, taking advantage of the golf-craze, popularized them for school and sport wear. Soft collars can now be worn in Church. Jackets and sweat- ers are much more general than formerly. Until recently men’s clothes were noticeably drab and dull. Within the last few years, however, there have been encouraging signs. Gay socks, sweaters, and neckties have ap- peared. All these changes, it seems to me, are for the better. The men who control the clothing trade can, if they will, make our clothes really comfort- able, practical, and healthful, in spite of our stodgy conventionality. There are a number of grievous faults which they can remedy, if only they will take a little of their time from jug- gling the styles. For example, our high collars are at once ugly, uncomfortable, and bad for us. It would be the easiest thing in the world for them to establish the open collar and flow- ing tie of Byron in place of the present atroci- ties. Long pants are impractical garments: they are fine on scarcecrows, but not on human beings with joints in their knees. Shoes have been pointed, rounded, and square at the toe, but never yet like real feet. They couid make just as much money with sensibly shaped shoes, and they would be doing a great thing for the human race. The reason men’s suits are so dull in color is because they cannot be washed, and hence must conceal the dirt. But surely the inventive genius of America should be able to find some kind of cloth which is strong, warm, and washable. All these things remain to be done. It would really be quite a simple matter to reform men’s clothes. It is wonderful what skillful advertising and a little common sense will do. As a suggestion, some such method as this might suffice: One year some big clothing concern could advertise open collars as “the (Continued on Page 113) 100 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Alice L. Dunlap. Library Editor WE ASK YOUR ADVICE The Library Department is written, as are all other departments in the Radiator, to in- terest you—the members of the student body. If the material used fails to encourage that interest, you are invited this month to write your suggestions to the Library Editor, Room 105, desk 56. Please do not ignore this appeal. Write immediately in order that next month’s notes and those of the months following may contain the subject-matter you enjoy most. However loyal a devotee of Lincoln you may be, there comes a time when more biography or essay fails to arouse you. The spirit of Lincoln may still glow for you and his doctrines and principles may be just as enthusiastically and reverently admired, but perhaps you feel there is nothing more to be said and wonder why an aspiring writer should go to the tiresome ex- tent of saying it again, since the re-telling could hardly be an improvement. Now and then a writer does strike a new view or search a hitherto unexplored source and the result is the creation of another view of the personality and life of Lincoln. “A Man for the Ages,” by Irving Bacheller, like a brand of a much advertised product is “different” and it is not a biography but a novel. The plot is not centered around Lincoln. The usual manner of presentation is reversed since the story is composed of the incidents of the life of a pioneering family, the Traylors, whose association with Lincoln becomes merely one of the many similar contacts with brilliant per- sonages. And what a Lincoln is portrayed there! A Lincoln who sits on the floor, a child on either side, and sings a ridiculous song of a somewhat boisterous “Sister Sue.” This extraordinary sister of the song is sup- posed to have been capable of the most unlady- like capers. “She kin h’ist one foot an’ go like Ned! An’ hop on top o’ my mother’s bed. An’ back an’ round the house she’ll go, ’1th her ol’ knee as limber as a hickory bow, Yes sir!” She kin sing a hull song ’ithout ketchin’ her breath, An’ make a face ’at ’ud scare ye to death! She kin wiggle her ears an’ cross her eyes An’ stick out her tongue till jer hair ’ud rise Yes sir!” Our first glimpse of the great man was an optimistic young giant, with a tremendous brain—a clear-thinking, a kind-thinking phil- osopher. To be frank, I wondered as I read, what Lincoln’s young manhood would have been had he been born at a later date. Would the materials of the last generations have been sufficient to produce a man capable of di- verting such a tragedy, capable of guiding us over the crisis of disunion with as firm a hand? To return to the discussion of the plot. The Traylors leave their comfortable Vermont (Continued on Page 113) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 101 THE MOVING FINGER By Stella R. Ellis. 27 The poem winning first prize in the Radiator Contest The beach, deserted, lay in drowsy sleep And stretched its gleaming white sands lazily; The moon, in regal splendour, left a trail Of shimmering silver spangles ’cross the sea. The stillness of the night caused me to hear The tiniest sound; the wind, the silent creep Of lapping waves, the bats’ blind, groping flight, The gentle, quiet movements of the deep. A fishing vessel crept in soundless stealth Across the spangled path laid by the moon. And lifted rugged masts in silhouette, With cargo gleaming silver; all too soon Did the vessel pass from sight; I was alone And stood in sudden fear upon the beach, For to me, as I stood there, came the sound Of footsteps, as though seeking soon to reach The mound whereon I stood. I turned around And saw a man, who climbed the sandy grade Toward me; he was tall, with giant build And giant strength, but I was not afraid, For, clinging to his hand, a little child Was running, laughing, too, with gay caprice, Seeking to make her bare feet keep his stride Until she tired, and ran in glad release Across the sand, to play amid the rocks; While he sat down, and beckoned me to sit Beside him on the sand. At first we talked Of commonplaces, then his ready wit Surprised me, and he told me many things I had not heard before; old legends, tales Of strange lands and adventure, happenings Upon the deck beneath his own ship’s sails. He was not old, and yet his hair was white, His eyes were black, and piercing as the steel Of sword-points, while the white light of the moon Outlined his every feature, made me feel That this man was a man of mystery, That he had seen a part of life unknown, Unheard of, and unseen by many men, And often he had stood the tide, alone. The little girl came to him several times And clasped her tiny arms around his head Seeking to upset him, while she laughed, Then ran where’er her tiny, bare feet led, And, in her wide, gray eyes I saw the moon Shining as in a mist of happiness. Her hair, a tumbled mass of silken curls, Gleamed gold beneath the moonbeams’ light caress. With elfin daintiness, upon the sand She danced or sang, too fairylike to be. And suddenly, upon the gold-tipped waves Her laughter fell, and rippled out to sea. “She is all that remains,” the man observed, “Of former days, when I, a fool,—no less, Left all alone my bride of one short month, And went in search of gold, and happiness. For five long years I searched, and toiled, and watched; E’er long I found the gold, and wrongly guessed That with my riches I had also found The illusive little bird of happiness. So I came home, intended to surprise The girl I loved, for to her I would give The gold and treasures, jewels that now were mine. How could I know that she no longer lived? It seemed the years I toiled and searched were vain; It seemed that happiness was not for me; Since she who once had lived was now no more— For that is just the way of life, you see. The little child that now was left alone Was like her mother, beautiful to see; She came to me, and in her tiny hands She holds my life,—all that is dear to me.” He paused; I saw the blackness of his eyes Had dimmed; he saw beyond the moon’s white light Into the years gone by. Then, suddenly- - A scream pierced through the stillness of the night. We started up, and wildly looked around, —The beach stretched lazy sands in mockery, The moon was smiling and her spangled trail Still lay across a shimmering, silver sea. The man then swiftly ran across the beach. His lips were moving, and I knew he prayed For courage that would bring him strength to reach The rock on which his little girl had played. He reached it, and I saw him glance around In sudden hope, but in an instant he Had dived from oft the surface of the rock And left a widening circle in the sea. I ran down to the water’s edge, and watched, Until his head appeared above the waves, Until he brought his burden to the shore, And stood there raving, as a madman raves,— 102 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Who says that God is good? A ruthless God Is he who takes my child, my tiny maid— Who tears my heart, and leaves a bleeding gap To show where once a living treasure laid! My little Bluebird, who has been to me My life—my happiness—why do you lie So lifeless? Why do you not laugh again, And sing for him who loves you, and is nigh?” The little girl lay silent, with her hair Curling in wet ringlets ’round her face, So pale and so transparent as to seem An angel’s; and the easy, subtle grace With which she lay upon the pure white sand Made her seem but asleep, with all sleep’s charms Shining in her face; and then the man In silence knelt, and took her in his arms. He carried her across the stretch of sand And disappeared from sight. I was again Alone, but not for long; the chatter came Of friends, and eased the queerly tugging pain I felt, and as they talked, and laughed aloud, Or ran across the sand, there came to me The words that I had heard short moments gone, “For that is just the way of life, you see.” This happened six short years ago, when I Was not yet twelve, and when again I go To that same beach, the sands still drowse in sleep, Above the night’s own sounds, I hear the low Voice of a little child, and glimpse the moon Shining in her eyes, as through a mist Of tears, and in the hollows of the sand Her dimples flash, where fairy lips have kissed Her cheek, and in her silken mass of curls The moonbeams play, and, still, it seems to me, That on the gold-flecked waves that lap the shore Her laughter falls, and ripples out to sea. And as I ponder, wondering what it means— Why we are here, and then as suddenly gone Grim Omar Khayyam speaks aloud, “The moving Finger writes, and, having writ, moves on.” IN BENEDICTION By Lorna Proudfoot, ’27 Poem winning the third prize in the Radiator Contest The last great words had died away, There was no sound, within, without, And through the silence and the dim The organ chimes rang softly out In benediction. The oaken rafters overhead Stretched, by the darkness half concealed. As every head was bended low, Sweet music from the organ pealed In benediction. Those solemn moments breathed high prayers; The music entered every heart. With pure, sweet holiness o’er all. The chimes rang out to every part In benediction. Her Valentine Lillian Podoll. '29 [HE show window of the little novelty shop, decorated with hearts and dainty tokens, announced the com- ing of St. Valentine’s Day. Mary Seymour, on her way home from work, paused to look at the dis- play. “Valentines!” she exclaimed. “I wonder how long it is since any one sent me a valentine?” Her half-smothered sigh revealed the fact that, in spite of her brilliant business career, some- thing was lacking in her life. She turned away and was lost in the jostling crowd of working people hurrying homeward. She went mechan- ically toward her boarding-house, the only home she had known for years. Mary was thoroughly exhausted when she reached the shabby hall of her boarding-house. She made a little impatient gesture upon seeing a number of her fellow-boarders gathered about the table where the mail was kept, although it did not surprise her, for she was quite aware that her letters were discussed before she re- ceived them. “You have a letter.” The information was offered by Miss Clarke, an occupant of the house. A large square envelope lay on the table, the centre of interest to her curious friends. They crowded about her as she picked it up and ex- amined the heart-shaped seal and the large, bold (Continued on Page 113) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 10.5 SECOND SYMPHONY CONCERT January 14, 1927, the second Symphony concert was attended by a much larger audi- ence than was present at the previous con- cert. The school is, however, still in debt be- cause of the meager attendance at the first concert. The program was given by fourteen professional musicians, each a master, under the direction of Mr. Paul Shirley. Preceding each number, Mr. Shirley gave the theme of the number and a short history of the com- poser. Following each number the hall was a sea of clapping hands. “The Blue Danube Waltz” was by far the most popular selection rendered and demanded an encore. The second concert was declared to be better than its fore- runner. The program was as follows:— 1. “Scherazade” Suite Rimsky-Korsakoff 2. “Bolero” Moskowsky 3. “Unfinished Symphony” Schubert 4. “The Blue Danube Waltz” Strauss 5. (a) “Folk Song” (b) “Fairy Tales” Komsak S. H. S. BOYS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The first meeting of the year of the Somer- ville High School Boys’ Debating Society was held in 301 Thursday, January 6. Joseph R. Corish, the president, outlined the work of organization for the year and stated that while the work of reorganization might be slow, he hoped that before the end of the school year the society would regain the pres- tige it has enjoyed in the past. Joseph Corish was unanimously re-elected president; Lawrence Capodolupo, vice-presi- dent; William Sullivan, treasurer, and Rich- ard C. Finn, secretary. PLAYERS' CLUB Another busy month of the Players’ Club has passed. During this time the club has accepted many pleasant invitations to see drama in other schools. Among them was one given by Professor Gilmer, of Tufts College. Despite the storm of January 11, five of the Players’ Club members finally arrived at the college and felt well repaid for their efforts when they saw “The Playboy of the Western World” presented by the “Pen, Paint and Pret- zel” Society of Tufts College. “The Trysting Place” was the second of the plays to be presented at the club, coached and given by pupils without the aid of Miss Bell. This play was given on January 14 in the hall, and was greatly enjoyed by the mem- bers. On Wednesday, January 26, a few of the Players’ Club members attended a lecture in Repertory Hall, through the kindness of Mrs. Henry Jewett. The lecture proved not only in- structive but amusing. On February 9, the club gave the teachers a “Jollification,” which they are kind enough to say was the jolliest “Jollification” ever given. Among recent photographs received by the club are those of Jack Donahue, leading man of “Sunny,” now playing in Boston, and of Eu- gene LeSieur, a former member of the Players’ Club, and now a teacher in the John Murray Anderson School of Dancing in New York.

So many attended the meeting, that it was necessary for the boys to bring in extra chairs. The club had the honor of having as their guest, Miss Amy Bridgman, who came to us because of her in- timate friendship with Mrs. Topliff. Miss Bridgman made a gracious guest be- cause of her charming personality. The in- terpretations of the poems from her book “Song-Flame” by her appealing voice and dra- matic manner painted vivid and delightful pic- tures on the minds of all. Among the poems given were “Phlox,” “Land of Harelock,” “The Wayfarers,” “Plantagenet,” “Song of Capri,” and the “Feast of Cherries.” In appreciation of the pleasant afternoon the club was privileged to have with Miss Bridg- man, they presented her a bouquet of carna- tions and sweet peas. An informal reception was held at the close of the meeting which was necessarily shortened since Miss Bridgman had to catch the New York train, yet she expressed her desire to be with us again, at some time, when she might hear members of the club read their poems. SHORT STORY CLUB The meetings of the Short Story group of the Literary Club have proved very successful so far this year. Miss Margaret Lacey is a most able chairman and there is now a member- ship of thirty-five. The first meeting was held October 21, 1926, in Room 201. A most unusual feature of this meeting was a “yarn” story directed by Ruth Garrod. As they unwound a ball of yarn, six members in turn entertained the club by re- lating a humorous and unbelievable tale. Again on November 18, the group met. The club was urged to take an active part in the Radiator Contest to be held during the next month, and much interest was shown by many members concerning the contest. In the December meeting a committee was appointed to make plans for a special program for a social to be given in February. A few clever original stories were read and criticised, while several Christmas stories were enjoyed. A meeting was held on January 20. John Pierce read an original story “Retribution,” and a lively discussion followed by the club mem- bers. Other stories were read and criticised, and as usual the members found the meeting (Continued on Page 109) 106 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ATHLETICS Drown and Nichols. 38—Somerville, 25 The track team had its first meet February 4, losing to Brown and Nichols 38 to 25 on the winner’s track. The Somerville team showed up finely and with a little more experience, will give any school a hard battle. Paul Mclnness turned in the best perform- ance for Somerville, while Watkins and Graves starred for the private school. Watkins was the leading scorer with fifteen points; Mclnness, second with eleven, and Graves, third with ten. The forty-yard dash was won by Watkins, Brown and Nichols’ star, with Finn close be- hind, and Lewis, third. Paul Mclnness won the thousand in fast time, beating Hodges of Brown and Nichols by a comfortable margin. DeMone, of Somerville, was third. The hurdle event was won by Watkins with Burnham, second, and McCarthy, third. The six hundred gave Mc- lnness a chance to break the record for the Brown and Nichols track. O’Brien and Clark chased him over the line. The three hundred was the best race of the afternoon with Charlie Finn and Watkins fighting it out for the lead. Watkins won by less than a foot from Finn, who forced him all the way. In this race also a record for the track was lowered. Somerville did not fare so well in the field events, losing both high jump and shot put. In the high jump Graves and Davis tied for first with Quail, of Somerville, third. Carbone, of Somerville, was beaten by but an inch in the shot put, which Graves also won. Mclnness took third. The summary:— 40-yard dash—Won by Watkins, B. N.; second, Finn, S.; third, Lewis, S. Time, 4 4-5s. 45-yard hurdles—Won by Watkins, B. N.; second, Burnham, B. N.; third, McCarthy, S. Time, 5 4-5s. 300-yard run—Won by Watkins, B. N.; second, Finn, S.; third, Lewis, S. Time, 35 3-5s. 600-yard run—Won by Mclnness, S.; second, O’Brien, B. N.; third, Clark, B. N. Time, 1 m., 24s. 1,000-yard run—Won by Mclnness, S.; sec- ond, Hodges, B. N.; third, DeMone, S. Time, 2m., 38s. High jump—Tie for first between Graves, B. N., and Davis, B. N.; Quail, S., third. Height, 4 ft., 11 in. Shot put—Won by Graves, B. N., 38 ft., 11 in.; second, Carbone, S., 38 ft., 10 in.; third, Mclnness, 36 ft., 7 in. HIKING At 2.30 on a Thursday afternoon a crowd of happy girls started out with Miss Burke for the Mystic Lakes and the region around it. The afternoon was ideal for hiking, clear and fine, with a good deal of snow that made it all the pleasanter. Talking and laughing gaily the girls enjoyed as pleasant an afternoon as could be wished for. Seniors where were you ? The Juniors surely put it over you this time. There were three times as many Juniors as there were Seniors. Better hustle next time. Remember we want more of you on the next hike which is to be a weenie roast and hike com- bined. “You’ll be rearin’ to go’’ once you have been. F. Avanzino. 315. BASKETBALL At a recent basketball practice, varsity and class captains and managers were elected. Results are:— Varsity—Captain, Helen Strehlis. Manager, Grace Beattie.

A great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused among the girls in the class games. February 1, the Seniors played the Juniors in a fast snappy game. Although the Juniors fought their best, the Seniors’ superior strength, accuracy and clever passing was too much for them. The Sophomores did their share by cheering the teams on, and when the whistle blew with the game ended the score stood 17 to 14 in favor of the Seniors. Two inter-school class games have been ar- ranged with Cambridge Latin and Waltham. Although the schedule has not been completed� the following games have been arranged:— February 18—Everett at Everett. February 28—Malden at Malden. March 9—Stoneham at Stoneham. March 10—Waltham at Waltham. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 107 CLASS NOTES 1927 Hermit C. Marsh, Editor Richard J. Hassett, Assistant Editor Girls!! Pick your future husbands from 102. Miss Jackson, out of curiosity, recently asked how many boys could do any cooking. Every boy’s hand went up. So you see you don’t have to take up cooking four year at a correspond- ence school to learn how to boil eggs and extri- cate “spuds” from their native element. With the boys producing such culinary masterpieces, the wife of to-morrow may well look to her laurels. Loosen your tongue a bit. (This does not apply to girls.) Sir Samuel Sims saw sweet Sara Sampoon swimming. She saw Sir Samuel so she somer- saulted spunkily. Suddenly she seemed sink- ing. Sir Samuel stood stunned. Sara screamed. Swimming sea-ward, spurning shingle, Sir Sam- uel successfully succored swooning Sara. Sara still seemed sickish so Sir Samuel seeked “Scotch.” Sara sipped some—Sara stayed si- lent; Sir Samuel shunned speech. Suddenly she smiled: “Sir Samuel,” she started. “Say Sam,” said Sir Samuel. “S-Sam,” stuttered shy Sara. “Sara sweetheart,” shouted Sir Samuel, “Snuff sed.” One-Act Play Scene: Corridor between two buildings. Time: Fhysical Training period. Explanation: No one is supposed to go through during exercises. Enter Cl—ff B—n. Mr. PI—nt: “You can’t go through here? Go back the way you came!” C. B.: “But—” Mr. PI—nt: “Never mind the talk! Go back!” C. B.: “Aw! Mr. Tuttle told me to come in and tell you not to make any noise while they’re testing ears.” Exit! Curtain! Room 115 has got something no other room can boast of. We have the only original Ukelele Troubador. Mr. H—sm—r: “We teachers are teaching by the plan of trial and error.” Gr—dy: “My share is mostly error.” Jason Nourse, (who is studying history), to Charles Ranson, directly after the class proctor election: “Who won the election?” C. R.: “Carney did.” J. N.: “Not that, I mean the election of 1860.” Mr. H—: (at board with everyone watching him): “All you pupils can see is a joke.” And he wondered why they laughed. 1928 Olive B. MacPherson, Editor Sylvia Brown, Assistant Editor 303 Hurrah! They have commenced building the new school. We see a few new steps here and there! From an exam.: “The United States has a :great variety of climate spread over its area.” 304 High School. Dancing here! Movies there! Jazzy songs upon the air— But no student anywhere! Fred Reed: “Do you like geometry?” Ray Fermoyle: “You bet, I get stuck on every problem.” 108 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 305 Skaters, take notice! Anyone who desires to learn the shortest route to the Boston Arena apply to Jeannette G. and Curtis T. They have learned by experience that it takes longer to go by Jamaica Plain. Oh yes, and be sure to get off at Massachusetts Avenue. Teacher: “If they speak Spanish in Spain, what do they speak in Alaska?” Karl Myers: “Elastic!” 306 The report cards made quite a hit with their pretty red trimmings! Didn’t they though? Again Mr. H—b—n (translating for very dumb class): “I will not speak in this place— hie—any more.” Someone: “Better look into this—what?” 307 Class grind: “Oh, dear! I’ve got to write an- other composition. What’ll I write about?” Sarcastic one: “Right about face!” We learned in Chemistry that the only time you can tell that you’ve been breathing carbon monoxide is when you’re dead. 308 Mr. H.— (delivering a lecture to B. M.—): “Why, I know a boy that gets up at quarter of four in the morning, goes to work and comes back to school at quarter of eight. I’ve seen him come back lots of times.” A voice: “I’ll bet you never saw him go!” Soph, (conjugating Eng. verb): “He or she flees—” Bright pupil: “What kind are those?” 310 There is a person in this room whom we call accomplished. He can represent a whole jazz orchestra with his mouth? Know him? 311 No, dear Sophs., the funny people you see darting in and out of 314 are not escaped iuna- tics, just Chemistry pupils with their aprons on. Eng. teacher: “What did Homer write?” Junior: “The Oddity and the Idiot.” 315 The friends, especially those of 315, of Muriel Armstrong, regret greatly the fact that she has left this city for Hartford, Conn. Lucky Hartford, we’ll say! Life is short but recess is shorter! 322 Neighbor: “They tell me your son is on the High School eleven.” Proud Mother: “Yes, indeed!” Neighbor: “Do you know what position he plays?” Proud Mother: “I’m not sure, but I think he’s one of the drawbacks.” 1929 Marion Smith, Editor Robert Forbes, Assistant Editor Room 29 Our Ship of State is successfully pulling its banner of Radiator subscriptions to the top of the mast. Our earnest but hard-hearted col- lectors have been doing excellent work in ex- tracting money from us for such purposes as the subscriptions, Red Cross, and advertise- ments. Isn’t it funny what a difference a few min- utes can make—before and after seeing our report cards. Room 21 Our new members are Archie Craig from Room 228, Robert Mills, Louis Crescio, and Joseph Curran from Room 128. The following pupils have been absent for a long time owing either to sickness in the fam- ily, or to their own serious illness: Warren Peterson, Beulah Joy, Anna Borenstein, Fran- cis Calhoun, James McDermott, and Kelan Bar- row. We trust they will all be with us soon. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 100 Room 202 The sacred fish of the State House, according to a certain teacher, plays an important part in many pupil’s geometry recitations. (Cod- chord). Irate and suspicious teacher: “Boy, we can dispense with that noise over there.” But the boy was not a magician,—the noise came from the steampipe. Room 213 Strange with what anxiety we all looked for- ward to receiving our second reports. Room 214 We have an artist in this room. Have you seen the drawings in 214 and 210? Underhill has been working hard for the Radiator, and has brought our percentage up. It’s good exercise—the boys will tell you so— bending and stooping to pick up papers. Room 215 T. S. Officer to two girls: “Walk down stairs without arms.” 100% in the Radiator Advertisement drive. Room 222 Owing to the withdrawal of Ermate Balboni and of Florence Valsam, who has gone to Bridgeport, Conn., we now have just enough seats for our enrollment of 64. Some people think Room 222 is a minus quan- tity, but just ask Mr. Sprague if you want to know the truth about us. Teacher to pupil: “Were you late this morn- ing?” Pupil: “No, the bell didn’t wait for me.” Room 210 The students of Room 210 wish to express their sympathy for Mr. Clark during his ill- ness, and their sincere hope that he will soon recover. Twelve pupils have succeeded in keeping a perfect attendance record during the second quarter. The Red Cross Drive in our room is progress- ing rapidly. Room 209 A Perfect Excuse Nurse was bringing little Ella home from a party and took her hand to help her up a high curbstone. “Gracious me, Ella!” she cried, “how sticky your hands are!” “So would yours be,” replied Ella serenely, “if you had two meringues and a chocolate eclair in your muff.” Witt.

Soon the col- lege boys would be wearing them. The next year, after conservative people had become used to the sight of them, advertisements could show pictures of business executives with open col- lars, and underneath the caption: ‘‘FOR SENSIBLE MEN HEALTH-COMFORT—STYLE,” etc. In like manner other reforms could be put through, and gradually we might come to be 113 clothed like civilized men instead of like crosses between tailors’ dummies and tabu-ridden sav- ages.

Harry Needles, an energetic, likable, fear- less young chap, a foster member of the Tray- lor household, is the hero of a sub-plot. Into his life comes series of struggles which lead him away from happiness and the appealing, sparkling Bim whom he loves. And Bim her- self changes from a free-hearted girl to a deep, sympathetic woman before they are at last united. This is the month to read something about Lincoln. We recommend “A Man For the Ages.” HER VALENTINE (Continued from Page 102) handwriting. She slit the envelope with a trembling finger and eagerly drew out a square, white card with a border of hearts and a little verse. ‘‘Oh! Miss Seymour!” exclaimed Miss Clarke, ‘‘a valentine!” ‘‘A valentine!” echoed the others. Mary stood for a moment gazing speechless at the bit of cardboard in her hand. Then she slowly turned and went upstairs, leaving the hall in a perfect bedlam of excitement. It was evident that the news of the valentine had traveled, for arriving sometime later at the supper table, she was a target of all sorts of questions. “Oh, Mary,” entreated Della Martin, the only other young lady in the house, “do tell us who he is.” Mary pushed her chair back and arose. “If I only knew,” she answered briefly, “I’d tell you.” “Mary!” squealed Della, “you don’t mean to say you don’t know who he is!” Mary only smiled, and, excusing herself, left the table. She ran up the stairs to her room and, taking the valentine, she tore it into a thousand pieces. “Oh!” she gasped at last, “I was so afraid they would recognize my handwriting! If they only knew—I sent it myself!” O’NEIL CASELLA Are Our Class Jewelers for the Ensuing Year BE PREPARED TO PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR YOUR PIN AND RING ABOUT MARCH 1st C. E. HALL SON, he.

In deciding your next step, it may help you to know that a knowledge of business is needed in almost every vocation. Your chief problem is to be sure you are properly equipped for the vocation you will choose. If it is to be business, you can best acquire this equipment through a business training at Burdett College. The courses offered at Burdett College vary in time from one to two years. They are designed for those with college, preparatory and high school training. For applicants with less schooling shorter courses are offered.

One side of this seal is familiar to many because an imprint of it appears stamped on documents of state. The reverse side of this seal has been but rarely seen. One figure on this reverse side is very significant. It is that of a pyramid in- completed. The adopters of this seal wished, of course, to indicate by this symbolic figure that a new nation had been started, partly built, but not finished. One hundred and fifty years have passed and still we find this country far from the end. Additions have been built and also, unfortunately, through neglect, misman- agement or wilful acts, parts of the building have been destroyed or weakened. Yet. withal, the movement has been upward. How appropriately we, in the field of edu- cation, can take to ourselves and to our work the symbolic meaning of the unfinished pyra- mid. Each pupil in our schools has started with a fair foundation on which to build.—reason- able health (in most cases), a brain with which to think, varying capacities to distinguish be- tween good and evil,—all, largely, a heritage from his ancestors. On this foundation must be built the completed structure of manhood or womanhood. The laborers are known to you all,—the home, the church, the school, and so- ciety. Each has its significant part to do yet each can help or harm the effort of the other. Each alone is well nigh helpless. Yet because the structure on which we are working is human, with a soul and will of its own, we have another factor not found in the illustration of the material pryamid with which to reckon,—the pupil himself. And so our chief concern is to incite the will, the ambition, and the co-operation of you pu- pils. The home, the church, the school, and to some extent, society are trying, often imper- fectly, to do their part. With you. eager, anxi- ous, ambitious, they can do much. With you, will-less, unresponsive, sometimes antagonis- tic, they can do little. Will, corrective treatment, and exercises are the chief factors in human development. These make a sickly body healthy, and a healthy body stronger. These make a warped soul upright and a good character better. These make a brain of poor capability abler, and strengthen and broaden the capacity of an able mind. A muscle with the right kind of exercise and the will behind it to insist upon that exercise will become strong. The agencies which I have named can tell you what kind of exercise, moral, mental, or physical you need but they cannot make you exercise. Really then, the greatest factor in the com- pletion of yourself is—yourself. Guidance, the process by which to work, will be shown to you. You must have, first, the will to do, and second, you must exercise. Exercise your muscles to be stronger, exercise your mind to be mentally receptive and active, exercise your soul to grasp the good and repel the evil. And so, as all of you develop into a generation stronger and bet- ter than that before you, then will our coun- try represented by the unfinished pyramid on its seal reach more nearly the standards of its founders.

This year’s staff, adhering to the cus- toms of Somerville High and having good faith in the Junior Class, places the entire respon- sibility of the forthcoming issue on its shoulders, and at the same time extends its heartiest wishes for a most successful publica- tion. (Continued on Page 131) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Challenge By Esther Colby, ’27 The Short Story Winning Second Prize |ARCIA stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at her son. “Laugh at it, Son, laugh at it,” she urged. Son stopped crying from sheer surprise. He had expected sympathy, possibly punishment, but certainly not a mother with laughter in her eyes, who expected him to laugh when he had just fallen partway down the stairs. But the laughter was contagious. A smile displaced the threatening sob. “That’s it, Son. It served you right, you know.” This was another surprise. “Served me right?” “Why yes. I told you not to go downstairs, didn’t I?” “Yes.” “And I told you why?” “You said the stairs had just been polished.” “They were too slippery for a little boy. It did serve you right, didn’t it?” She smiled “Yes. . . . But why did you say to laugh at it, Muvver?” “It helps.” “Does it?” He evidently doubted her words. “Yes. That bump doesn’t hurt now, does it?” “No.” Son was surprised. “It did help,” he said smiling. A week later, on a rainy forenoon, Son came into the kitchen where Marcia was cooking. “Can I help. Muvver?” he asked. “You may hold this spoon just a minute for me, dear.” Marcia looked down at the dancing figure, The door swung back and burnt her arm. Son saw it, and saw the frown on her face. “Laugh at it, Muvver! Laugh at it!” he cried. Marcia looked down at the dancing figure, whirling the spoon around his golden head, and smiled, then laughed. “You remembered, did you?” “It doesn’t hurt so much now, does it?” he inquired anxiously. “No.” she confessed. “It doesn’t.” Thus began the game that was to continue throughout their lives. It was when Son was seven years old that his father died, and he gravely tried to fill his place. Marcia was obliged to work to help support herself and her son. The game became more than a game, for it kept them from worrying, gave them courage. “A little thing like poverty is nothing to worry about. Just laugh at it,” said Marcia. “Nothing is worth worrying about,” said Son, who was at that moment enjoying a cake made especially for his twelfth birthday. “Well, some things are.” “What?” “If you knew you were losing your soul, or could never enjoy beauty, you would have some- thing to worry about. But you aren’t, so—” “Don’t worry,” finished Son. “Right.” So several happy, companionable years passed. Son had been graduated from the high school scarcely three months when Marcia was taken ill. Talking with him one evening, she said: “Son, do you remember that game we used to play—laugh at it?” “Yes.” “We always have, you and I. Promise me you always will.” Son hesitated. “I couldn’t if ... if anything should happen to you.” “It won’t be easy,—but promise. This life is something of a game, you know. And games are to be played. I think God appreciates those who laugh as they play—whether they win or lose. Promise, Son?” The question had a wist- ful sound. “I promise. Mother.” He remembered his promise when, a month later, Marcia died. But he could only smile sadly. At that time the most engrossing topic of con- versation was the World War. Would the United States enter it? The spring following Marcia’s death, the United States did. Son enlisted at once, glad to escape from his lone- liness. Within a short time the training camp learned to love the laughing, daring boy who re- fused to sing the hymn of hate. Across the ocean, he became renowned in his company, for (Continued on Page 135) 130 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Galoshes ’ By Florence MacKay, ’27 AD,” said Evy at the breakfast table, in a tone she was wont to use in the family circle, “I have simply got to have a pair of ga- loshes.” “What’s that?” asked Mr. Brown, a bit un- easy. “Galoshes?” repeated Evy a little impa- tiently. “High-buckled overshoes. They’re all the rage, and they’re so warm and sensible, Dad.” “I’m a little short just now, Evy, with the taxes due soon and the car.” “But galoshes are only three ninety-five,” begged Evy. “You don’t want much, do you?” inquired her brother Sammy. “Three ninety-five! Four dol- lars for those things that all the girls are wear- ing? Makes them look as if they had elephant’s feet, if you ask me.” “I didn’t ask you, Sammy Brown,” retorted his sister witheringly. “Besides, the more ga- loshes flap, the more stylish they are,” she continued. “Well, why don’t you say some- thing Mother?” “I haven’t had a chance,” returned Mrs. Brown. “Anyway, all I have to say is that you don’t need golashes.” “Golashes?” In spite of her vexation, Evy .giggled. “You don’t need them. You’ve got good strong oxfords, and if you need anything it’s plain, buckled overshoes, or rubbers.” “Rubbers!” Then with a pouting face, she con- tinued, “I wouldn’t wear them.” She reached for her handkerchief and went on: “To think I have such a family! I might have asked for Zippers; cost five dollars, and they’ve got a strip of metal up the front that slides up and down and fastens them. All the best dressed girls wear them, but all I asked for was ga- loshes.” Evy pushed her chair back with a tragic ges- ture. The unsympathetic Sammy chuckled, but Mr. Brown rose heavily. In the light of Evy’s anger, he felt like an unnatural parent. He ap- peared to waver. “How much did you say those galoshes were Evy?” But Evy was out of hearing. From the next room came the sound of books slammed to- gether. When she reappeared she merely stated in an icy tone:— “I’m leaving early. Glee Club practice.” “Are you sure you’re warm enough, Evy?” her mother asked anxiously. “All but my feet, but that doesn’t matter, of course.” With that. Evy closed the door sharply. The December air was raw and chill. An early winter had set in, and Evy shivered as she stepped on the sleet-covered walk. Resentment blazed within her as she caught herself from slipping. If only she had galoshes! She walked gingerly to the corner of the street to await the car, musing on the glory of buckles. Her envious gaze centered on a girl just ahead who, to the uninitiated, in her short dress and swish- ing boots, looked like some kind of web-footed bird. On the car. Evy made her way to a seat, her mind busy with the problem of galoshes. Her month’s allowance was gone, but by saving she might be able to buy herself a pair before another month. Think of having to buy real necessities with her spending money! What a family she had! Evy’s foot, swinging energetically back and forth, touched something soft and yielding. She glanced down indifferently, expecting to see a paper or perhaps a crumpled paper bag. But it was neither. Evy’s astonished gaze rested on a tiny brown purse. She reach down and picked it up. Leaning forward to the woman in front of her, she asked, “Did you drop your purse?” But the woman, a silver mesh bag dangling from her arm, shook her head coldly. Evy leaned back intending to ask the person in back, • but she discovered it was a man. She clung to the purse tightly. Why ask everyone in the car? The purse evidently had been dropped by the previous occupant of the seat. She might turn the purse over to the conductor and have it placed in the lost-and-found department. But by the time the pocketbook was returned to the owner, there would probably be nothing in it. Evy remembered that she had left a pocketbook on the car once, and though the name and address was in it, there was nothing inside it but her locker key when the purse was returned. After all. “finders are keepers.” (Continued on Page 132) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 131 The American Boy’s Inheritance By Doris Munsen, '28 Essay Winning Second Prize HE American boy inherits many op- portunities, rights, privileges, and advantages wholly unknown to the boys of other countries. He in- herits from the Pilgrim fathers the right of religious freedom; from the great leaders of the Revolutionary period, he inherits the immortal assurance “that all men are cre- ated equal.” and that they are endowed by the Creator with inalienable “rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness.” All this is the wonderful inheritance of the American boy, which has been kept in- tact for him through the years by the Consti- tution, although specific rights of the individual have been added at intervals. The educational rights and advantages that the American boy possesses are far superior to those of the boys of other countries. A boy in a foreign land must follow the profession of his father and grandfather, whether he wishes to or not; the American boy can follow any pro- fession he chooses, no matter what profession his father was in. This state provides that parents cannot take their children from school until they are over fourteen years of age and have at least a sixth- grade knowledge. The state requires each locality to support a high school, admitting all those of the locality free who desire the train- ing. Technical high schools teach boys to earn their living by honorable trades. A boy may specialize in any one trade, carpentering, bank- ing, engineering, gardening, and many other trades. Classical high schools prepare any child for college. In this way the poor boy as well as the rich one tutoring in a private school is given a chance to enter college. The American boy is trained for citizenship all during his school career. He studies the problems of his government, reads daily newspapers and maga- zines, studies law and takes his part in the com- munity life of the school. At the present time many organizations, under the efficient leadership of public-spirited men. are exerting all their energies toward the training of American youth. The young boys of America today inherit the Boy Scout organization. It offers training in woodcraft and practical experience in the woods. The movement tends to develop the boy men- tally, morally, and physically. “A scout is truthworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” These are the Scout laws. What American boy keep- ing these ideals in his mind would not grow up to be a citizen of the best type? The Young Men’s Christian Association is one of the chief factors in the training of young men. This association controls many of our colleges. The Boston organization controls the work of the Northeastern College. Boys who work during the day are given an opportunity to receive an education by going to the Y. M. C. A. night schools. The Citizens’ Military Training Camp is an- other means for the city boys to obtain fresh air and physical development. Although other countries have military training camps, the con- ditions are entirely different. In foreign coun- tries young men have compulsory training for a certain number of years. The food is very poor and they are sometimes brutally treated by their drill masters. In the United States, the camps are always under careful and con- siderate supervision. Thus we find that the American boy inherits all the privileges and benefits of a politically free country, and his love of country is stirred by a desire to serve because of the service rend- ered him. Wealth, proverty, or birth are not masters of the fates of American boys. The American boy himself is the master of his own fate, because he is given a chance to rise from the humblest position in life to the highest posi- tion America offers—the Presidency of the United States. This is the American Boy’s In- heritance. THE JUNIOR ISSUE (Continued from Page 128) This is an opportunity for the Junior Class to demonstrate the spirit of ’28 by a quick, de- cisive response, both with material and sub- scriptions. Good luck, Juniors. 132 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “GALOSHES” (Continued from Page 130) Evy opened the purse with a rather guilty feeling. In one of the two compartments were bills crammed into a little wad. She drew them out and counted them. There were four ones. In the other compartment there were dimes and pennies and a car check. Fifty-nine cents in all. Evy leaned back with a feeling of dizzi- ness. There was more than enough for ga- loshes. Still, the money was not her’s to spend. She would not turn the money in, she would advertise it. She slipped the purse between her books and got off at the high school. As she ran around the front of the car. Natalie Cole stepped off at the rear. “Both of us on the same car and didn’t know it,” greeted Natalie warmly. “I was way back. I gave my seat to an old lady, because the men were all hiding behind the newspapers. Say, Evy. will you go down town with me after school? I’m going to buy me a pair of ga- loshes.” “Sorry.” said Evy shortly, “we have another Glee Club rehearsal.” She hurried on to her locker. Here was Na- talie Cole buying galoshes, while she, Evy Brown, could not afford them. A sudden il- luminating thought came to Evy. Why not go to town with Natalie after practice and buy galoshes with the money in the purse? Hadn’t the money tumbled out of a clear blue sky? Yes, she would buy the galoshes; just borrow the money, as it were. If she ever found the owner, she would pay back every cent. To some people that amount was nothing, she mused, trying to ease her conscience. She de- cided to watch the “ads,” and if she found the owner before her allowance was due, she would ask her father to advance the sum. Having settled the matter to her satisfaction. Evy looked about for Natalie, but she couldn’t see her. As soon as Glee Club practice was over, she flurried down town and exchanged the crumpled green bills for a pair of galoshes. All the way to the street car she listened to their fashion- able flapping. Not for worlds would Evy have buckled her galoshes. She had to run to catch the car. and as she mounted the steps, the buckle of one of her galoshes caught on the platform and Evy fell headlong into the car. As Evy sprawled, face downward, her feet in- terfered with the closing of the door. The passengers who had seen Evy enter were vainly trying to conceal their mirth. With the aid •of the conductor. Evy blushing crimson, picked herself up and resentfully aimed a car check toward the box. As she did so, the car lurched and the check dropped into one of her gaping galoshes. The onlookers refrained from audible laughter as Evy searched her pockets for her purse. Then she remembered that after she had bought the galoshes, she had taken out a car check and strapped the purse securely between her books. There was nothing to do but remove the galoshes and recover the car check. She dropped desperately into the nearest seat and tugged at the left foot, only to find when she did have it finally off, that the car check was not in that one. She tugged at the other. The boot was obstinate and hard to remove, more so under the eyes of a score of amused watchers. She finally pulled it off, only to find her shoe had come with it. Evy, her foot extended rigidly before her, was oblivious to everything else in that awful mo- ment. The passengers were not proof against this latest calamity. Led by the conductor, they burst into laughter. Evy blinked hard to keep back her angry tears. This was too much. With haughty dignity she extracted the check and replaced the shoe and overshoe. The car was slowing down to a stop. She glanced out, Fairmount Ave—her corner! Evy stepped off. pausing only long enough to assure herself that both galoshes were tightly buckled. As she alighted, she saw Natalie Cole getting off at the front of the car. “Why, Evy Brown,” the girl called, “I didn’t see you.” “Didn’t you?” returned Evy, with vast re- lief. “I was sitting away back.” “And you have new galoshes!” Natalie’s ad- miring gaze was envious. “Yes.” said Evy, without enthusiasm. “I couldn’t get mine, after all.” sighed Nata- lie. “I’ve been saving for a month, too; doing without sodas and lunches and everything. You know I was going to buy them tonight, but I left my purse on the car this morning.” “What?” gasped Evy. “I know I must have left it there. Parker Dodds paid my fare, so I’m not sure whether I had my purse with me. I never missed it untii I got to my locker. There was over four dol- lars in it. If I don’t find that money there’ll be no galoshes for me.” “Was your purse brown?” broke in Evy, a dreadful conviction making her voice sound weak and trembling. She unstrapped her book and took out the flat little purse. “Is this yours ?” (Continued on Page 135) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 133 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Alice Dunlap, Library Editor BOUT this time of year most of us are seized with a sort of wander- lust. Routine becomes a weight to our spirits and we look toward dis- tant places with strong desire. We eagerly grasp all opportunities to satisfy this craving, even if such opportunities come only through the medium of the written experiences of others. For us. and for those who are con- tent to dream of far-away lands and prefer the stability and comfort of home, the travel books are published. Two writers have written of similar coun- tries; one making no apology for the people as he sees them, crude, half-civilized and degener- ate. The higher classes he depicts as deceit- ful. hypocritical, and sauve; the only beauty in the land being found in the physical beauty of the country—never in its people. The other writer in an etherial haze of soft color and melting, misty beauty upholds the people as the natural effects of unavoidable causes. From the hushed fragrance and glid- ing stillness, which he used as a background, come forth the sudden outbursts of human na- ture. “Black Harte,” by Blair Niles, cham- pions the civilization of the savage and proves the savage fundamentals of civilization. His observances suggest a Higher Power which causes the continual upward rise of civilization, its temporary dissolutions and its eventual rise again. The Haitians are an ignorant race, laboring under the fearful superstitions of voo-dooism, yet suddenly they change to wistful human beings with desires and longings. It is natural that a people whose emotions and aggressions i have so long been suppressed should have ac- quired a sense of degradation as part of their lowly heritage; it is natural, also, that bursts of expression should come out of the shadow, and a spontaneous reverence of religion should at times over-power them. The blood of the conquerors of the past comes forth for a time but disappears again under their indolence. The writer combines the greyer shades of today with the brighter colors of history and produces a deep, glorious hue. The strength of their history is largely in the sterling character of Dessalines, the emperor. “Vagabonding Down the Andes,” by Harry A. Franck, is the collected experiences of a man who traveled through several South American nations mostly on foot, and lived as nearly as possible the lives of the natives in order that his views might be impartial and unprejudiced. A magazine that is new to the West Library is “U. S. Air Services.” It discusses the ex- periments, developments, attainments, and suc- cess of the United States and foreign air ser- vice. And there are stories of and by the fear- less. adventurous aviators themselves that radi- ate enthusiasm and red-bloodedness. Here is a list of books that will take you on journeys to other lands and countries:— Lummis, C. F., “Some Strange Corners of Our Country.” Macmillan, Donald, “Four Years in the Arc- tic.” Grenfell, Wilfred, “Adrift on an Ice-Pan.” Harper, Charles C., “Queer Things About London.” Clark, Keith, “Spell of Scotland.” Smith. F. Hopkinson, “Gondola Days.” Street, J. L., “Mysterious Japan.” 134 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE GIFT OF LOVE By Lorna M. Proudfoot Poem Winning: Second Prize The shades were drawn; and in the light Of crackling flames which pierced the night, A brilliant red poinsettia gleamed Between two candles white, it seemed A living, breathing spot of red; “It radiated joy,’ she said Who sat before the glowing fire Of whose bright flames she’d never tire. ’Twas Christmas Eve, all clear and cold; The poinsettia all the warmth did hold —Or rather, so to her it seemed— Its petals, warm red, softly gleamed, Its petals pointed, and reached out, Could it be—? There was no doubt But that sweet flower breathed of things So dear to her that on light wings Her fancy brought her to the one. Now far away, whose love she’d won, And who had sent her this gay gift. Again, again her eyes she’d lift To see its freshness and its hue: She thought she heard it whisper, “You!” There was a custom of renown In that small village, which was down Among the trees beside the stream. And where fair Margaret used to dream; It was that all on Christmas Eve Some little gift they wished to leave Would lay beside the pulpit stair Inside the little church so bare. Some gave such gifts as food and coin; Some brought bright holly there to join The dark green branches of the pine Which others brought. Each was a sign, A gift of love, good will toward men. So on this Christmas Eve again Each villager his love gift brought. But Margaret had not yet sought The little church to bring her gift. She heard the knocker fall, then lift, Then fall again. And at the door A face which warmed her to the core Of her already love-warmed heart, Appeared. She saw her with a start; Upon this dear, kind-hearted friend Who’d walked the path up to the end To cheer her with her merry smile She looked, yet troubled all the while As, “Margaret, have you brought your gift?” “I’ve let myself to dreamland drift. I’d quite forgotten all the folk,” Said Margaret. Then, “It might provoke ’Most anyone, just what I’ve done. Don’t trouble more. I’ve just begun, Dear friend, to wonder what I’d bring.” Her good friend left; a merry ring Her voice made as she said good-night. Then Margaret closed the door on night And came back eagerly, once more To gaze at her poinsettia, for It gleamed so brightly. Then a thought Occurred to her. Yet, she could not! No, never could she give it, it. Her flower sweet. She tried to sit But thoughts came surging round so fast She had to walk up, down, at last. “He would not want her to,” she said, And this thought on to others led. The village was so small indeed That all would the poinsettia heed. So few had ever seem the flow’r Which forms so sweet a southern bow’r That it would really give them joy. Then, yes! she would, indeed, employ The lovely flower in that way And sure she was what he wouid say. She wrapped it carefully, and then She slipped outside, ran through the glen Up to the little village church; Inside the door, began to search For means by which to have a light The candle which she found burned bright; It shone on wreaths of pine and fir. How beautiful it looked to her, The tiny church with gifts piled high. Then, with a very little sigh She placed her flow’r upon a wreath Fixed on the woodwork just beneath The choir loft. What joy it spread! Her heart in happy realms it lead. But suddenly, far off but clear Some ringing chimes she stopped to hear. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 135 “The Christ is born,” she murmured low, And looking at her flow Vs glow Her heart was filled with love and cheer; She thought it whispered, “Margaret, dear!” THE CHALLENGE (Continued from Page 129) he was never known to grumble. Instead he made light of the mud, the dirt, the discom- fort—even the smells. He bore a charmed life and seemed to find particular charm in offering it to whatever dangerous enterprise presented itself. So it happened that he was sent across No Man’s Land. He was taken prisoner, and condemned, as a spy, to be shot at dawn. “Shot at dawn!” he repeated. “Precious short notice! It is two o’clock now—Shot—at dawn. Not a bad time to go out.’’ He watched a planet set, stars pale. His guard said: “Come.” He was led blindfolded to the courtyard. A white square of cloth was pinned over his heart. He heard the heavy tramp of feet, the rattle of rifles as the firing squad picked them from the stack. He could picture it perfectly, for once he had served on such a squad. “I wonder if anyone will shoot at the walk as I did. Or will they all shoot straight at that square?” His thoughts veered. “They are go- ing to kill me—Then I lose. Or do I?—I lose my life—This life is something of a game—God appreciates those who laugh—although they— lose—Promise, Son? It is a game—a glorious game, though I lose!” A gay. challenging laugh met the volley of shots. “GALOSHES” (Continued from Page 132) “My purse! So you found it. Evy,” said Na- talie as she put the purse in her bag. “But—but—” Evy stammered and swallowed —“What will you think of me Natalie? I’ve spent your money. I bought these horrid ga- loshes with it. I wish I’d never seen them. They have mortified me to death, and I haven’t had them an hour. I’ll borrow the money from Dad and bring it to school tomorrow. And when I get home I’m going to throw these old ga- loshes up in the attic where I hope they’ll rot.” “But why, Evy,” Natalie was plainly mysti- fied. “Say. if you feel that way about them, why not lend them to me? I’m going to Irene’s party tonight and I wanted the galoshes so I could wear my new pumps. What size are they?” “Fives.” “My size exactly.” Evy plumped down on the icy side walk and unbuckled the hated galoshes. “Take them and welcome! I never want to see them again. I’ll bring the money.” “What’s the matter with my keeping these galoshes if you don’t want them?” suggested Natalie. “You keep the money and I’ll keep the galoshes.” She put them on and waving good-bye to Evy. turned down her own street. With a shrug of her shoulders. Evy watched her friend plowing away, the galoshes flapping at every step. “Sammy was right,” she thought. She burst into the kitchen still smarting under the humiliating experience. Mrs. Brown bustled forward wearing an air of suppressed excitement. “Well, well, Evy,” she exclaimed, “I was be- ginning to worry about you. I just got home from town myself. I’ve been doing a little shop- ping Evy, I got you a pair of galoshes. You seemed to be set on having them.” Evy slumped down into a chair and stared after her mother as she stepped into the dining room for the galoshes. Just as Evy took the parcel, the door was flung open. Mr. Brown stepped in importantly, bearing in his arm a bulky package. “Bought you some galoshes, Evy,” he beamed, and tossed the bundle exultantly to his daughter. “When I saw how sleety it was this morning, I just up and got them.” Evy fingered the string uncertainly. “Guessed at the size,” he went on with ill- concealed delight. “Those are sevens.” “But Evy wears fives,” said Mrs. Brown. “Besides, I bought her some.” By this time Evy felt thoroughly ashamed of herself. There was the sound of stamping feet out- side. The next moment Sammy burst in, swing- ing a package by the string. With a grin he tossed it to his siter. Evy. past all words, eyed it with alarm. “Why don’t you open it?” demanded Sammy. Still wordless, Evy removed the wrappers and disclosed a handsome pair of cloth boots with shining metal strips down the front of each. “How perfect!” she cried delightedly, sum- moning all her self-control. “Zippers!” shouted Sammy. T made up my mind that if you were so set to be in style. I’d steer you off of bats’ wings. How do you like them?” 136 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Ernest D. Sackett, Editor SENIOR PLAY On February 18, the class of 1927 gave the play “A Full House” to a capacity house. The cast of characters was as follows:— Parks, an English butler, William Spear Susie, a maid from Sioux City. Dorothy C. Watkins Ottily Howell, a bride, Hope Blaisdell Miss Winmecker, the aunt from Yonkers. Dorothy Leeman Daphne Charters, Ottily’s sister. Marion Marshall Nicholas King, a stranger, Frank M. Ehvell Ned Pembroke, an only son, John E. Pierce George Howell, a bridegroom, Wilbur C. Irving Dougherty, a police sergeant, Frederick M. Sharkey Kerney, policeman Edward Kelley Mooney, policeman Clifford D. Bain Mrs. Fleming, owner of the apartment. Myra Page Vera Vernon, a show girl, Laura Carboni Mrs. Pembroke, Ned’s mother. Evelyn Perry The play was carried on in a lively manner and at no time did it drag. Great praise is due to the actors for their excellent acting, to the committee for their judgment in selecting the play and the cast, and to Miss Bell, who was in charge of the production. MILITARY ASSEMBLY On March 7, 1927, an assembly was held to obtain recruits for the Citizen’s Military Train- ing Camp. The meeting was opened by the band. Among those present were Mayor Con- well. Mr. Avery, Major Brewer, Major Stevens, Captain Healey and “Soapy Waters,” all of whom spoke. The Sophomore election is under way. THE CHESS CLUB Many pupils are unaware of the fact that among the various school activities the Chess Team puts in its quiet contribution. The Chess Club meets every Friday afternoon in Room 123. The team consists of six players, not al- ways the same six. Our president is Jason Ncurse; and our manager is Manual Lima. Six matches have been played, and the results, al- though not particularly noteworthy, are here- with printed:— January 7. Somerville, 5; Rindge, 1. January 20, Brookline. 5; Somerville, 1. January 27, Camb. Latin, 6; Somerville, 0. February 10, Somerville, 4; Rindge, 2. February 17, Somerville, 3; Boston Latin, 3. February 25, Brookline. 6; Somerville. 0. WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY The Webster Debating Society has had a very busy season of late. Our annual banquet occured at Riverbank Court Hotel on February 10, 1927. Here thirty members and four honorary members gathered for an excellent dinner and witty and interest- ing after-dinner speeches. On March 8 we held a public debate at which our president, Arnold Finley, presided, and Messrs. John Niles, Frederick Sharkey, and James Carney upheld the affirmative, while Messrs. John Hayes, Lawrence Capadilupo and Joseph Corish took the negative of the commis- sion government question. The members of the first orchestra assisted. On April 28 we are planning our interscholas- tic contest. Watch for it! Support it when it comes!! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 ...----- - ---- ----- j ATHLETICS TRACK The Somerville track team is continuing its good work in sending representatives to all the big scholastic meets. At the Andover meet Charlie Finn won the fifty-yard dash in fast time. The relay team, composed of Luppi, Big- ley, Lewis, and Finn, won from Hyde Park High. At the B. A. A. meet the relay team also won, defeating Cambridge Latin and Rindge. The same evening the team was victorious over Dorchester and St. Mary’s of Waltham. The Somerville aggregation came within one-half point of the goal in the State meet. Finn ran away from the field to win the three hundred, making a new record. Hayes, a sophomore, captured second place in the hurdles. Lewis and Morley scored in the six hundred, winning third and fourth places respectively. Smith added another point in the thousand, and the relay won second from South Boston and Con- cord, giving Somerville 15 to the winner’s 16. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC REPORT BASKETBALL Our basketball season is in full swing now and the coach has selected the following varsity team: L. F., Caroline Tucker; C.. Helen Streh- lis; S. C., Helen Ranigan; L. G.. Maxine Blake; R. G., Ruth Strehlis. The second team as follows: L. F., Marion De Noyer; R. F.. Frances Croy; C., Eleanor Taap- ken; S. C.. Margaret Martin; L. G., Catherine Falvey; R. G., Jessie Williams. Through an error of the writer, Alice Hurley was reported to be Senior Manager. May we correct that and give credit to Ruth Allen, who is Senior Manager of Basketball. SWIMMING The first part of the hour we work on strokes, especially the Australian Crawl, and, as we are going to have another meet in May, speed is our objective. Diving is practised the last half of the hour. The standing front, the running front, and the back dives are the three we practice the most, although our more skilled divers entertain us with the fancy dives. Frances Avanzino, 315. PLAYERS’ CLUB The great event of the year for Players’ Club members was the “Teachers’ Jollification,” held in the hall on February 9th. The teachers were all pupils for one afternoon, and were obliged to attend classes under the guidance of the Club members. Many of the teachers showed great ability in their studies. In fact. Players’ Club members were greatly surprised to learn that Mr. Avery and Miss Gray could make the worst (and the best) looking faces in limited time. After many games, refreshments were served. Appropriate prizes were given (Mr. Avery may be seen wearing his, on any windy day) and the teachers voted this “Jollification” the best ever given. Friday afternoon, February 25th, several members of the club visited Harvard College. Wesley Duperuis, a former Players’ Club mem- ber, and now a Sophomore at Harvard, acted as guide. The stage library proved of special in- terest to the club. It contained various pictures of famous actors. Miniature stages were dis- played and methods of filing the pictures were shown. Blanche Baptista, Secretary. SHORT STORY CLUB The meeting of the Short Story Club on Feb- ruary 10, 1927, was without doubt the most successful this year. The club had for its guest Miss A. Marion Merrill, former head of the English department in Somerville High School. Miss Merrill gave a talk on the “Short Story” which was both valuable and most in- teresting. During the meeting two very well written original short stories were presented, one written and read by Margaret Lacey, and one written by Florence MacKay and Olive McPherson. At the close of the meeting an in- formal reception was held. Ruth Hodges, Secretary. 138 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR j ALUMNI NOTES Alice Van Ummersen, Betty Hunt 1926 Irving Cromwell is a Freshman at the Massa- chusetts School of Art.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 139 CLASS NOTES 1927 Hermit C. Marsh, Editor Richard J. Hassett, Assistant Editor Waid's Studio wouldn’t let C. H. P. Williams have his picture taken until late Saturday be- cause it would be too great a strain on the camera. J. B—If—d is going to buy a few dozen of Ben Lyon’s photos and autograph them. Did you ever hear any of the following? “Mine were terrible.” “I think that one’s the best.” “This one’s too dark.” “I’m going to have mine taken over again.” R. Cohen: “Do you dance?” She: “Oh, I love to (too).” R. C.: “Let’s do that instead.” Well, boys, time to consider the C. M. T. C. Now that the third quarter is nearly over, .•some bright Senior says that the fourth quarter will soon follow. Congratulations to Miss Bell and all who helped to make the Senior play a success (with a capital S). Our noble band recently gave a concert at the Northeastern Junior High School. How Much Do You Know? 1. Did Abraham Lincoln really have four fathers? 2. What perfume is derived from H.S? 3. Who holds the record of arriving at school the closest to 8.30 A. M.? 4. Who wears red neckties? Why? 5. How many cylinders did G. Washington’s boat have on crossing the Delaware? We wondered what Miss Campbell meant when she said: “I’m in the centre,’’—but we found it meant the centre of a group looking at pictures. Is it vanity or what is it that makes the Seniors want a retake? We wonder if it is serious between L. C—g—w—11 and J. D—h—ee. Did all of the American History classes hear Mr. P—a—s—n’s reminiscence on a negro pas- tor? We wonder if anyone has noticed how the Senior Play cast and committee have inter- mingled, i. e. B—t—y H—n and Bi— S—e—r. The Senior Play cast and members of the class who were connected with the presenta- tion enjoyed a very delightful theatre party on March 4th at the Plymouth Theatre, where the comedy, “Little Miss Spitfire” was being played. 1928 Olive B. MacPherson, Editor Sylvia Brown, Assistant Editor Then shall the kingdom of success be likened unto ten students who took their talents and went forth to meet their examinations. And five of them were foolish and five wise, For the wise had added knowledge to their tal- ents, but the foolish had added no knowledge to their talents. Now while the day of exami- nation tarried, they all slumbered and slept. But at the end of the term, there came a cry, “Behold the hour of examinations! Come ye forth and take them.” Then all the students arose and prepared their talents. And the fool- ish said unto the wise, “Give us of your knowl- edge for our talents are failing.” But the wise answered and said, “Pre-adventure there will not be enough for us and you. Go ye rather to them that teach and get for yourselves.” And while they went to cram, the hour of reckoning came and they that were ready went in to suc- cess but the door to success was closed to the five foolish students. Afterwards came those students to the teacher saying, “Teacher, teach- er, give us a passing mark.” But the teacher answered and said, “Verily, I say unto you, I cannot.” Prepare yourselves, therefore, for you know not the time of testing.—Exchange. 340 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR JUNIOR NIGHT! On the twentieth of May will be held the event to which every Junior is looking forward with expectancy. The committee which the class has elected to plan and conduct the pro- gram for Junior Night consists of John Buck- ley, Olive MacPherson and Dorothy Gordon. This committee can arrange and carry through a successful Junior Night only with the co-oper- ation of every Junior in the class. We need your enthusiasm and helpful suggestions. Help us make May 20 a night of pleasure long to be remembered. Heard on February 14:— “If the girls had pockets in their dresses perhaps not so many of them would wear their hearts upon their sleeves.” Juniors! We want news of interest in the class and in school life in general for the Junior issue. Whenever anything interesting or hu- morous happens, send it in so that our issue may be spicy and interesting. Boy: “Few people can do two things at once.” Girl :“Then why do you expect me to forgive and forget?” Wonders of wonders! One of our young Sophomores informs us that both parents of Edgar Allen Poe were actresses! 1929 Marion Smith. Editor Robert Forbes, Assistant Editor Teacher: “Have you ever had an intimaie as- sociation with a German police dog?” Heard in an oral theme recitation: “One night he took his Ford to a dance with him.” (What will those blamed flivvers be doing next?) Teacher, expecting the answer “heure”: “What is the word for clock time in French?” Hesitant pupil: “Er—.” Teacher: “Correct.” The following story is told by a Somerville High Latin teacher:— Two men were walking down the street. One of them was carrying such a large, heavy book, that he was staggering under its great weight. The second man was carrying a small, slim book that would have easily fitted into his coat pocket. Said the first man to the second:— “What’s that little book you’ve got?” The other replied: “Oh, these are the rules to Latin grammar. What is the big book you’ve got?” “Oh,” said the first man, almost falling under his book: “These are the exceptions to the rules of Latin grammar.” V—r—a L—d has resolved not to talk during Lent—in school. Room 214 has waked up. It was represented at the Somerville track meet by Quail, who came third in the high jump. Doris Yerovec, Mary Traniello and Vasken Tashjian have had perfect attendance for two quarters. Dorothy West is running for vice-president of the Sophomore class. A half a point of A means a great deal to a certain person in Room 205 when it comes to Maximum Credit. Harold Frankel formerly in Room 205, writes that he is enjoying Roxbury High School very much. For this second quarter Laura Soparoff of Room 210 received maximum credit marks. Anna Conway, Anna Withington, Micha Sopar- off and Charles Quinn were on the credit list. Boy: “You remind me of the wild sea waves!” Girl (thrilled): “OH! Because I’m so uncon- trolable and beautiful ?” Boy: “NO! Because you’re all wet and you make me sick!” Teacher: “Thomas, parse this sentence: ‘John married Jane.' ” Thomas: “‘John’ is a noun because it’s the name of something; ‘married’ is a conjunction because it joins ‘John’ and ‘Jane,’ ‘Jane’ is a verb because she governs ‘John.’ ” Somerville beauty parlors and shops must be doing a rushing business now that the Seniors are having their pictures taken.

The Next Step After High School Get as much education as you can, whatever your aspirations may be, because trained minds are needed in professional, public service, technical and business life. In deciding your next step, it may help you to know that a knowledge of business is needed in almost every vocation. Your chief problem is to be sure you are properly equipped for the vocation you will choose. If it is to be business, you can best acquire this equipment through a business training at Burdett College. The courses offered at Burdett College vary in time from one to two years. They are designed for those with college, preparatory and high school training. For applicants with less schooling shorter courses are offered.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 157 EDITORIALS I have been asked to give my impressions of the Junior Class. Rather a difficult thing to do, isn’t it, when the opinion we have of a group is very largely determined by the charac- teristics of certain individuals in it? Is it a brainy class? Of course it must be, because sixty of its members were on the honor roll last quarter. Is it a musical class? Why certainly, look at its representation in ail of the musical societies. Is it an athletic class? It must be, if we examine the membership of the baseball, football, track and swimming teams. Is it a loyal class? Yes, indeed, see what many of its members have done for the school? But on the other hand, some one will say: “What about the pupils not on the honor roll, the athletic teams, the traffic squad, the musical societies?” And, of course, I find myself at once in diffi- culty for I realize that hundreds in the class are not scholars, athletes, musicians, or leaders. What can 1 say, then, in fairness to the Class of 1928? It is a good class, a worthy successor to the classes that have gone before. It has great pos- sibilities along many lines. It has good leaders and is in a large way ready to follow along right lines. I look forward with pleasure and interest to next year when this class will be a Senior Class. I believe it will be an excellent class,—serious, ambitious, studious, loyal and progressive. JOHN A. AVERY. The school wishes to thank Mrs. Woods for her gift of tickets to the play “Macbeth” given to the maximum credit pupils. It is a satisfac- tion to notice the way in which scholarship is being honored, a distinction which has long been too far reserved for the brawn of the ath- lete! Is it because we have no more Athletic Idols or is it that we are beginning to realize that scholarship is a greater asset to human- ity? THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY There is dormant talent in our high school which for a long time has somewhat lacked the incentive to develop; there are gems of service that heretofore have not been properly recog- nized, there are students of good character w ith the capacity for sterling leadership who have not yet tested themselves. Maintaining its time-honored desire and custom of offering to its students the most recent, worthwhile enter- prizes in modern education, the Somerville High School is soon to introduce the National Honor Society. Interest in this innovation is running high. Here, then, is the incentive to better our- selves, to be worthy of membership in this splendid organization. The aim of the National Honor Society (note that the keyword is a part of our school motto) is “to provide recognition for pupils who main- tain high standards in scholarship, character, service, and leadership.” Four crowning qual- ities of meritorious worth both in the school and in the community! The plan is this: from the Senior Class the first 25% of those leading in scholarship will be selected for consideration. From this number not more than 15% will be picked who best ful- fill the four requirements. Therefore it may- be seen that pupils ranking high in scholarship only cannot be among the “honored ones.” Membership demands not only scholarship, but that a pupil has either gone out for an athletic team, possesses good character, initiative and other deserving qualities, has shown a marked ability for leadership, or has rendered bits of illuminating service that brighten his little sphere of daily contact. Athletes, too. must stand out in the other fields. Scholarship, which is immensely important, is as much to be honored as the feats of the athletic field. The earnest pupil who is will- continued on Page 161) 158 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Maggie” By Mary Pineo, ’28 T was in the large, beautiful library of the Landers’ wealthy home. Margaret Bridget O’Connell, or in her aunt’s dignified words, Mar- guerite Connell, was seated near the table in the centre of the room. She was indeed a perfect study as she sat there reading, her elbow resting on the table and her head in her hand. The soft light of the lamp seemed to make her black hair more lustrous and her deep blue eyes almost violet. She was dressed in true American flapper style, yet there was a certain air of crudeness about her that is not usually found with persons of extreme wealth. She looked up as Mrs. Landers, her aunt, entered the room. “There is a letter from Collinsville for you, today. Marguerite,” she said. “A letter?” Margaret with surprise asked. “From Pa or from Ma?” “It has Thomas’ writing.” “Sure, an' that’s natural, ’cause Tommy’s the only one that can write back home.” As she opened the letter, little did Margaret think of the circumstances in which that letter had been written; little did she care to remem- ber the poor, withered mother whose heart and body was giving way under the stress of toil and hardship back in the little home in Collins- ville; of the mother and father who were too proud to seek help from their more wealthy relatives, but who had sacrificed their only daughter to circumstances more pleasant for her than those in which they themselves ex- isted; little did Margaret realize the need of love and comfort in the little house which she, herself, had called home until a year ago when her aunt, who had always been captivated by the girl’s remarkable beauty, invited her to live at her wealthy home in the big city. Mrs. Landers had immediately sent the girl to a fashionable school where she was yet to learn of culture and refinement. Entranced by her new surroundings, Margaret soon abandoned the thoughts of drudgery and poverty. In- deed, her time and mind were so occupied by the frequent social engagements which were taking place in the circle of her aunt’s society that Margaret had scarcely a moment for dreaming or realizing what her life meant to others. This unexpected letter was like a cry from the wilderness, an undesirable message which interferred with her happiness, but it was with a feeling of curiosity, mingled with indifference, that she opened it. “Dear Maggie,” she read. That word, Mag- gie! How vulgar it sounded! Yet there had been a day when no other name would have seemed common to her. She continued read- ing: “This is to let you know that Ma is com- ing to see you soon, if you don’t mind.” It was signed with her only brother’s name, “Tom- my.” “What in the world do you suppose she wants to see me for?” asked Margaret. “I’m sure I do not know,” answered her aunt. “Don’t you think that she will be surprised when she sees how well you are getting along?” “Yes, she’ll be surprised, all right.” And there the matter ended for a time. It was one day, some months later, that Mrs. Landers’ parlor maid ushered into the spacious living room a small, elderly woman, with snow- white hair, and a wrinkled face which well dis- played the wage of care and toil. With faltering steps she followed the maid to a large, luxurious chair in the parlor. The numerous highly polished articles of rich furni- ture made this little person fairly start. A huge fireplace seemed the only friendly object in the room. The deep brown phonograph in the corner frowned at her as she sat waiting Mrs. Landers’ appearance. When that good lady arrived she was dressed in a purple satin gown. What a contrast to that weary little mother wearing a coat which she had worn many years, and a little black hat that had been bought with hard-won earn- ings ! “Good-day, Mrs. O’Connell. I suppose that you have come to see how Margaret is getting along in her new home?” “Yes—yes. I’ve come to see me Maggie. I’ve come to ask, Mrs. Landers, a very impor- tant question. Ye know, I haven’t seen Maggie for almost a year, now, and in all that time I’ve SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 159 never ceased to think of her. I suppose I shouldn't, when you folks are giving her every- thing I can’t; but it’s a mother’s heart, I guess, to be a-worrying for her daughter. Do ye sup- pose,—Mrs. Landers,—0, I can’t—I mean— Maggie wouldn’t.” ‘‘Wouldn’t what, Mrs. O’Connell?” “I know it’s too much to ask, but do ye sup- pose,—that—Maggie—would care enough—to come back—to Collinsville?” She could say no more, for her deepest desire had been expressed. Mrs. Landers was sur- prised; in fact, so surprised that she did not really know what to say. ‘T suppose—maybe,—but we must consult Marguerite. If she is willing and eager to re- turn home, I have no objection. I only wish to remind you that I have done all within my power to make her happy and have given her every privilege in my home.” The poor mother felt this remark almost as a rebuke. In regard to Margaret, she only hoped for the best: that the girl would understand her mother’s feelings. Mrs. Landers again broke the silence: “Mar- garet will not be home until late this after- noon. After her school session, she is going directly to a tea at the home of a friend.” “My Maggie going to a tea!” thought Mrs. O’Connell. “Bless the child! She’s young and having the best time of her life. Why am I here to interfere with her happiness?” She was standing in the front hall admiring the pictures and other works of art when the front door flung open. A young girl, flushed of cheek, brushed almost past her and then stopped short. “Hello, Ma. So you’ve come to see me. And, pray, what do you think of your little Maggie?” said Margaret with the faintest touch of scorn. “Maggie,—God bless ye, my child. My,— but ye’ve changed since I saw ye last! D—do they be treating y-ye well, Maggie?” “Why, of course they’re treating me fine. Why, you’re not worrying, are you? I’m hav- cne time of my life here.” “I know it, child, I know it. But I come today to see ye and,—. 0, Maggie! If ye only knew how I’ve amissed ye since ye’ve come here. 0, but ye can’t understand a mother’s feelings, Maggie.” “W—why, I don’t understand, Ma.” “I know ye don’t, child, but I come here to- day to ask ye if ye would come b—back with me?” “Go back! How could I! 0, Ma! Aunt Mary is so good and kind to me, and she’s in- viting me to her society and.—why,—I like it so well that I don’t see how I’ll ever go back. 0, I couldn’t do that.” “All right, Maggie. If it’s your own wish child, it’s not yer mother that’s going to ob- ject. But Maggie, please,—don’t forget your mother, when you’re having such a good time.” Mrs. O’G'onnell returned to Collinsville that, evening. The purpose o: her visit had failed, they had not understood. Indeed, Margaret herself gave little thought to the incident and her days went happily skipping by as usual. It was a bright morning in May, the glorious month of spring. Plants were budding and trees were in bloom. The birds were back, singing at their highest pitch in the tops of the trees. Margaret O’Connell was as happy as the birds; she was at the height of her dream of happiness although it was a worldly one. This certain morning she was looking forward to a luncheon with a group of friends. Her aunt had departed for a shopping tour. Mar- garet was planning what she would wear at the occasion when the doorbell gave a sharp im- petuous ring. A messenger boy was announced. A telegram for Margaret! Wonderingly she took it and had no sooner scanned the contents than she turned a deadly white. For a moment she stood stock-still, staring into space. Then, with a dash, she was upstairs and down again, dressed for the street. As she turned toward the door, the maid suspecting something wrong, asked cautiously: “Will you be back soon, Miss Connell?” For a moment she received no answer. Then Margaret turned, saying finally, “Tell Mrs. Lan- ders that I shall never be back again”—and with that she hurried through the door into the street. The maid, mystified, turned, when her eye caught a bit of yellow paper lying on the floor. The telegram! Eagerly she read: “Dear Mar- garet: Your mother died this morning. Please come home.” And that was the end of Miss Marguerite Connell, for she had gone back! She had gone to the little home where that poor soul, over- whelmed by oppressing care and drudgery in its declining year, had gone to its heavenly rest. She had gone back to be a mother to little Tommy and a comfort to “Pa.” She had cast off her mantle of wealth and comfort, to be what she really was,—“Maggie.” 160 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “Romance” By Margaret Lacey, '28 PEAKING OF ROMANCE”—Old Pete spat reminiscently at a cus- pidor some yards away and tilted his chair back against the wall— “there was Minnie and the Gent.” We lighted cigars and settled down for a yarn. “Twenty years ago this was ‘One-eyed Mike’s’ Saloon.” He cast an admiring glance around the spacious, tile floored lobby and sighed, “Pioche certainly has changed.” “Well, Minnie, now, could mix up a drink like a veteran. Her Pa owned the place but she run it. And there wasn’t a gal ’roundabouts could beat her for looks; one of them baby-doll faces like on the calendars and hair sort of tangled and curly and always tumbling down. “Every evening she’d be in the saloon swab- bing the tables, her sleeves rolled up to her pretty elbows, laughing and joking with the big gang from the ranches and the miners down from six months in the mountains. Oh! they all worshipped Minnie, all right; but she wouldn’t look at any of e’m for all her friend- liness. The ‘Queen of Pioche’ we used to call her, and she was, too. “Then the Gent come into the story. It was ’long about noon one August day and the air was hazy with heat. I remember it just as if it was yesterday ’count of my getting my new set of teeth made to order ’long about then. I was handy man even then, and I’d just got the brass rail at the bar all bright and shining. “The boat whistle started toot-tooting out on the river and a couple of hard-working loafers holding up the doorway saunters off to see it come in. By and by they come drifting back .and with ’em come—the Gent. “I looked up as a shadow fell across the spot I was busy scrubbing tobacco juice off; there he was standing in the doorway, posing sort of without knowing it, very blond and kind of pale and high-brow looking. He smiles down on me like he was doing me a favor, ‘My man,’ he says, ‘could I have a room?’ Yes, just like that! You could’ve knocked me over with a feather and it got Minnie, too. “She glanced up, sort of startled, from where she was washing glasses, and their eyes met. Well, once he looked into them big blue •eyes of Minnie’s, the gang hadn’t a ghost of a chance. “He sweeps off his hat and makes a deep bow. ‘Pardon me,’ he says, ‘do I address the proprie- tress?’ Minnie blushes and kind of giggles: ‘Yup, that’s me. Wanta room? Rates, three a week, pay in advance’—She says the last hes- itating a bit. It did sound kind of sacrilegious suggesting a dude like him couldn’t pay his room rent. He laughs, though, and brings out a roll of bills. ‘Perfectly all right, I assure you. I intend to make an indefinite stay’—and their eyes met again. “Say, it was a case of love at first sight. Every evening he’d come over with his mando- lin-thing and sing ‘The Spanish Cavalier,’ and they’d sit on the back steps while the bunch, cowpunchers, prospectors and nesters, even, would mope inside playing dominoes or poker. One-eyed Mike’s didn’t seem like the same place without Minnie there to serve the drinks and keep us laughing with her back-talk. “Once, the Gent showed her a picture of a girl back home, Estelle her name was, that his family kind of expected him to marry. I seen it. She was one of them delicate kind with yel- low curls fixed just so, and pale blue eyes rather tired locking. I guess he didn’t mention her any after that, and, if Estelle could’ve seen how matters was turning out, she wouldn’t have been any too pleased. “Minnie’s old man didn’t like the dude no- how. Young fellers who come out here for their health with a big bankroll, in them days, were liable to be regarded mighty suspicious. “Anyway Minnie’s Pa sent me down to the river to fetch her one evening when she and ‘the Gent’ had been out boating. As I come along they were standing by the river bank and it was a pretty picture with the setting sun making the river red in back of them. “Minnie was leaning against an old willow in a dress of some pale pink stuff, a flower in her curly, dark hair and her blue eyes troubled. The Gent was pleading with her; he’d got handsomer than ever since he came and he was talking like a blue streak, but he didn’t seem to convince Minnie any. Suddenly she put up her hand, helpless-like and he stopped. Then she says kind of chokey, ‘It’s no use, Bud. I don’t set up to be your kind and I aint. Can’t you see I couldn’t ever leave all this for your folks. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 161 They’d despise me. Bud, and so would you after awhile and—and I couldn’t bear that.’ “She looked away and her chin lifted proudly. ‘I thought you’d come here to stay, maybe. But seeing as you ain’t not—not even for me—I guess you better go, now.’ He looked mighty hard hit. ‘I’m sorry it had to be this way,’ he says, just like in a play, ‘then’—he hesitated but Minnie was looking out over the river. “Goodbye, goodbye,’ she says very low. He only looked back once, but the sun was in his eyes and he couldn’t see that she was crying. “The Gent checked out that night and Minnie come back to the bar, laughing and joking just the same only sometimes her eyes were dim with tears. Long about that time Fa died, and she was too busy settling up to think much of the dude. “What happened to Minnie? Oh! she began to board people from the East, kind of like a rest cure. In five years she’d bought out old man Sanderson’s place and started a ‘dude ranch.’ And now—well, look at this hotel for instance. She’s worth a million.” Old Pete shook his head. “Did the Gent ever come back?” someone questioned. “Well,” and Pete hitched his chair to get within better shooting range of the cus- pidor, “two years ago he comes trotting in and who was with him but the girl in the picture, a good deal older and even more tired-looking. “Minnie was supervising the fixings to a big party she gives all her old friends in Pioche about this time every year. She turns 'round just as he comes along and for a minute they just stood there looking at each other. “Minnie didn’t look like she’d been pining away any. She’d got a little stoutish but her eyes were merry and her hair was all fixed up fashionable; she had a pink satin dress on, too, that came straight from Paris; Minnie was a great hand for wearing pink. “The Gent, he’d got scrawny and peaked-look- ing, and right then he was nervous as cats. It must’ve been an awful shock to him, coming on her like that and him not having seen her for eighteen years. (Continued on Page 162) Two elderly men, both deaf, met on a country road. One had a fishing pole in his wagon. “Goin’ fishin’?” shouted the first. “No,” the other yelled back, “I’m goin’ fish- in’.” “Oh, I thought mebbe you was goin’ fishin’.” the ether called back.—Cooper’s Weekly. EDITORIAL (Continued from Page 157) ing to study is now to be deservingly recog- nized; membership in the Society is sure to be an incentive for him to rank high in scholastic standing. In addition, character is strengthened by work and understanding, and by tolerance. This quality, too, is necessary in one who would aspire to the National Honor Society. There are teams, pupils on the Traffic Squad, physical training leaders, leaders of our numerous school organizations, these people and many more can qualify for membership by showing proficiency and accomplishments in ether requirements. And who knows but that we may have here a budding leader of men! service is a beautiful thing. To contribute some gem of service anywhere is lending a hand in school activities or is work- ing for some cause, helps to better his school by making his “world a bit better because he has been there.” If he measures up to the other standards he can become a desirable member of the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society singles out for distinction and recognition pupils with those constructive qualities, provides a strong in- ducement for us to develop in an all-around way and stimulates scholarship, character, a desire to render service, and efficient leadership. Membership gives the highest recommendation in business or elsewhere, for it is truly an honor “worthy of the gods.” This, then, is offered us by our school-mem- bership a great honor, yet a more wonderful opportunity. Worthwhile, isn’t it? Then the fortunate Seniors will have a distinct honor to strive for; they will have every incentive to grow and develop in scholarship, character, ser- vice, and leadership. But lest we forget, the records of our Sophomore and Junior years are strongly considered in selection for member- ship. So we must start at the beginning of our High School career and grow and strengthen ourselves in those traits required by the National Honor Society, qualities not only use- ful for our school life, but for the future. A. A. 162 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Library Department Lolly Moller, Library Editor It is a peculiar trait of character in human nature to like best to read about those things with which we are in a certain degree familiar, and here is one of the reasons why poetry that has spring for its subject is read so extensively and with so much pleasure. The genius in the poet has been great enough to put into expres- sion an emotion which we have all felt, and in reading this poetry, we in a way re-live a past episode. We cannot all enjoy great paintings and really good music as much as we should like, but poetry is something that is within the power of all to enjoy, and it is one of the finest of intel- lectual pleasures as it stirs our emotions with the clever use of words and with the passion- ate and imaginative language. A poem that is most fitting to be read at this time is the “Debutante” by Guy Wetmore Carryi, for this is just the time when “blue- eyed Spring is standing at the wing and wait- ing for her cue,” which follows the chorus of Winter which “still echoes faintly on the air.” In this poem Mr. Carryl has with rare skill likened the earth to a stage on which the sea- sons are the actors, and one really seems to see “The day, below the hillside, trying her colors, one by one, On the clouds experimenting, till the coming of the sun. Robert Bloomfield’s “A Spring Day” brings to our minds a vivid picture of Spring advanc- ing “with her renovating sway, spreading flow- ers of all hues, with sweetest fragrance stored,” while “The Welcome” by Arthur Powell speaks of the “new-leaping grass, the feathery-fluted bird and the sapphire sky, as well as the sea’s full-voiced salute” which welcomes the Spring. An especially delightful bit of poetry is “A Song in Spring” by Thomas S. Jones, Jr. One fairly sees the “little buds bourgeoning with Spring,” making us forget the winter, and one seems to feel the soft caress of the Spring breezes. “The Daffodils” by William Wordsworth, one of the perfect gems of poetry, gives an ex- ample of how a beautiful sight that we have once seen can be seen again by the inward eye, “which is the bliss of solitude.” I think that we can hardly find a poem that is more beauti- ful than this, for the colorful description of the field of wild daffodils in England is so true that one seems to be right there beside the lake watching “the host of golden daffodils, flutter- ing and dancing in the breeze.” There are only a few of the many poems written on spring. Some very helpful books on finding other spring poems, or any poems that interest you are:— Contemporary Verse, edited by Miss Sprague and Miss Merrill. Poems of Today, a collection of the contem- porary verse of American and Great Britain, edited by Cooper. Cambridge Books of Poetry. Volume I and II. New Voices, edited by Wilkinson. These books are in our school library. (Continued from Page 101) “She was the first to speak. “Well, well, if it isn’t ‘the Gent’! And you’re Estelle, I’m sure,’ she says, turning to the lady. ‘My wife,’ the Gent says faintly. ‘Of course.’ Minnie adds. 1 remember how he used to tell me all about you. Do sit down.’ Just then the orchestra that had been tuning up, breaks out with “The Spanish Cavalier.’ “ ‘Sav, darling, say, when I’m far away, some- times you may think of me. dear,’—-Minnie hums, and then she nudges the Gent with her elbow and says: ‘Remember how you used to sit on my back steps and sing that to the mando- lin?’ “Romance! huh!” Pete grunted. “There ain’t any.” Mrs. Kelley (to inebriated hubbv fumbling with the knob to the front door): “What on earth are you trying to do?” Mr. Kelly: “S—ssh. Urn tryin’ t’ get Pitts- burgh.”—Literary Digest. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 16:5 PUBLIC OCCURRENCES POETRY CLUB As a memorial to Miss Abbie Farwell Brown, a Boston poet, who had passed away the preced- ing week, the Poetry group of the Literary Club at its March meeting listened to a sketch of her life given by Miss Sprague, and two of Miss Brown’s poems, “The up-Hill Street,” and “Garden Thoughts,” read by members of the club. Mrs. Topliff gave an interesting account of the Dickinson estate at Amherst and of Miss Emily Dickinson and her sister, Miss Lavinia, with whom Mrs. Topliff was acquainted. Poems by Emily Dickinson, A. E. Housman, Walter de la Mare, and Ralph Hodgson, were read. The program was brought to a close by Mr. Hosmer, the guest of the club, who gave a reading of two poems that are favorites with him: “The Flag of England,” by Kipling, and “Service,” by Dr. Henry van Dyke. PLAYERS’ CLUB The past month has been an active one for the Flayers’ Club. Several members took part in “Macbeth,” playing at the Repertory Thea- tre, and they are giving short talks upon their impressions during the play. “The Flattering Word,” a play now being coached by Miss Bell, is in preparation and much time and work is being spent at rehear- sals. The play, it is expected, will be produced soon. The Club has been fortunate enough to re- ceive several autographed pictures of Emma Prichard Hadley, a resident of Somerville. She has taken part in many plays and a few mem- bers have had the pleasure of acting with her in some of them. Club plays, coached by club members, with- out the aid of Miss Bell, are in preparation and another busy month is anticipated. GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The regular meetings of the Girls’ Debating Society are held once in two weeks and are pre- sided over by Martha Howard, president. Interesting discussions have been held dur- ing the year and one interscholastic debate has taken place with the Usona Society of Malden High School, the question being: “Resolved, that the proposed 20th amendment should be ratified.” The team representing Somerville consisted of Eunice Lanigan, Margaret Lacey, Queene Pambookjian and Natalie Rich, alter- nate. The decision was two to one for Malden. Try-outs for another team have been held and have resulted in the choice of: Marion Mc- Carthy, Margaret Lacey, Eunice Lanigan, and Anna Cronin, alternate. THE GABS A club has been organized by the members of Junior English I and holds a session every fourth period Friday, in Room 115, under the direction of Loren Walker, the president. A name appropriate for the standards of the club was chosen and it was decided that “Gabs” formed by taking the first letter of each of the words “Good and Better Speech” was second to none and unsurpassable. The highest ideal of this club is to under- stand the need of better speech and use it, and through all the year the thought of what we stand for has been kept in mind and upheld, and to a great extent attained. SOI HOMORE ELECTION The long delayed Sophomore primary election took place on March 14. The voting was very quietly done in the home rooms as the aspirants to office had been previously introduced to the class at assembly. The result of this primary election was announced on Tuesday, March 15. On the next day the class voted again for the following nominees:— President, John Hayes, John Rondina; Vice- President, Dorothy West, Beatrice Capodilupo; Treasurer, William Ingalls, Clayton Wells; Sec- retary, Ann Cole, Eleanor Shiere. The follow- ing were elected: President, John Hayes; Vice- President, Dorothy West; Treasurer, William Ingalls; Secretary, Ann Cole. A few days later, an assembly was called and l he new officers were introduced to the class by Donald Hurd, Senior Class President, and they responded in short, well-delivered speeches. We wish them a very successful term. 164 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR CLASS NOTES 1927 Hermit C. Marsh, Editor Richard J. Hassett.

The hand grasped the stone, but lacking the strength, it slipped bit by bit, until it fell to the ground. At the same time the moon came out of its hiding place and fell on the ghost- like face of—I guess we’d better stop this story because we want the under-graduates to be able to continue reading the rest of our school paper. The Senior Class will offer a prize to any- one who can tell from what book these words are taken: “Friends, Romans, and Country- men,” etc. The prize will be a five-dollar gold piece (T. C.) (Try and collect). The spring weather has affected Harold Fur- ness, as is shown by the following:— Music Sweet chords that fill the heart with passion, Sweet notes that speak of youth and love: Master of “Kings” and “Rulers of Nations,” Flows in sweet harmony from above. Notes that arouse the angry passions Melodies soothing, so soothing to hearts; Melodies swelling from etherial organs, Music, the sweetest and finest of arts. Sounds like Shakespeare. (?) H—s—e—t: “When candidates are called for baseball practice, it reminds me of a passage in the Bible.” McG—v—rn: “Is that so; what is it?” H—s—e—t: “Many are called but few are chosen.” And incidentally, congratulations are due to the Juniors who have worked so hard to make this issue a success. The Seniors are slowly disappearing from the Traffic Squad while Sophomores and Juniors are filling their places. Latest school song rendered by Elmer Birds- all, accompanied by the Senior Class: “Give me one of your picture, will ya huh?” Oh the flowers that sproom in the bling tro- la-la. Only one more issue of the Radiator. Let’s all get together and make it the best ever. There are fifteen in Room 115 eligible to be in the National Honor Society. The pupils of Room 114 have felt an unusual call upon their deepest sympathy when three of their members have suffered bereavement: Evelyn Robinson in the death of her mother; Leona Dunham and Harold Ulwin whose father in each case has passed on. Room 114, to date, has deposited $691.36 in the school bank. Congratulations! Rumor has it that A—b—y F—tz has “IT.” Did you know that our school band is going to Kansas City? That is, if they win the com- petition in Boston in the near future. “— then he took a big needle, filled it with serum and jabbed it about an inch in my arm. Oh boy, did it hurt? I nearly flopped. And wasn’t I sick that night?” Don’t get nervous, it’s only a fellow who is going to C. M. T. C. telling about getting inoculated. Going? Room liO recently had 100% in attendance for one week, and no one was tardy or dis- missed. This record of 100% each week in banking is yet unbroken. Can any room equal this? As Shakespeare said: “There’s the itch.” Or was it the rub? 1928 Olive B. MacPherson, Editor Sylvia Brown, Assistant Editor Some Seniors are dissatisfied with their pic- May is coming, then June. Know what that tures—probably they look too much like them— means? (The Seniors are getting nervous, what? aren’t they?) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 Oh Juniors! Here’s a call for you! Junior night comes the twentieth of May. Be sure that we see you there. There will be a—well, come and see for yourselves! Committee: John Buckley, Olive MacFherson and Dorothy Gor- don. Let’s try to beat the Seniors and show them that we can support ourselves. (Don’t “beat” them the way they have been “beating” the poor undergraduate lately!) Sophomore at the zoo (or maybe it was a Senior): “My! what a long tail that snake has!” The usual thoughts and wishes on “report card” day:— Morning: “Thinking of You!” Quarter of two: “Pretty Little Thing!” After Papa sees it: “Goodnight.” Ladies and I’ve Gotta Find Myself Some- one to Love! Then incidentally we wish that we were in “A Lane in Spain,” or we start pack- ing and sing, “Hello, Swanee!” So the girls up here really swim? We want to know! Why say—do fishes (walk)? School days, School days? Good old golden rule days Really? When was this? In drill: “When not at attention, keep your hands behind vour back for the rest of the year.” The most popular students of the school, per- haps, are the members of the Traffic Squad. Right? Teacher to pupil who refused to recite: “Why didn’t you do your homework?” Pupil: “I went to see ‘Queen High’ yesterday and when I got home I felt like the deuce so I went right to bed.” “Four out of five?” she said, as she gave the salesgirl a five-dollar bill for two pairs of stock- ings. “Please give me two halves for a dollar,” he said, as he bought a pair of socks. Yes. and Juniors, learn to smiie now for next year most of us will be having our facial muscles stretched into that beautiful look- pleasant expression. It’s queer how Spring affects the different teachers. Some become cheerful to think they will only have to endure us two more months, and some get cross when they think how good they have been to us all the year. Room 309 proudly boasts of one hundred per cent paid in class dues. There are two in 309 that ought to qualify for African hunters as they can imitate wild animals better than the animals themselves. According to (Hoyle) chemistry—Louisiana sulphur is 99% pure. What we want to know is—does it float? Aldermen present twenty-one good reasons why we should have no new High School. What is twenty-one against a hundred! Notice how red attracts the Senior Bulls? Our “campus” is quite alluring at lunch time —but try to get in (or out) of “the little shop across the street!” To a boy whose red tie is in his hand: “Well, well, so the Seniors got you, did they?” Boy: “Don’t be foolish! I was just getting some lunch across the street.” At lunch time most of the people go down- ward. Too bad!! “How far off from the answer to the first problem were you ?” “About four seats.” Father: “The man who marries my daughter will get a prize. Ardent suitor: “May I see it, please?” “May your parents be absent from you and me while we are present, one with the other.’ Automobile mechanics are seldom run over because they wear jumpers. “The next person to interrupt the proceed- ings will be sent home,” declared the irate judge. “Hurrah!” shouted the prisoner. 1929 Marion Smith, Editor Robert Forbes, Assistant Editor Why, of course we are all going to buy a Miss G— (in physical training exercises): Year Book. Some of us are getting our picture “Some of you do that terribly; you look as in it four times. though you were bowlegged in your arms! 166 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The members of Room 213 extend their sym- pathy to Harry Miller who is ill. Soon the baseball team will be playing its first game. Let us all support it. The third quarter is near an end and 213 is ambitious for more names on the Honor Roll. Dorothy West, the newly-elected vice-presi- dent of the Sophomore Class is a member of 214. When Room 10 was broken up, Dorothy was sent over to us. On Thursday, March 30, Miss Smith, of 214 received such a shock that smelling salts had to be used before she revived. The class had perfect attendance. Alfred Luppi has been awarded a medal for winning the 300-yard dash. We congratulate him. We, in Room 211, wish to express our sym- pathy to Mary Finn on account of her long absence, due to illness in the family. Jennie Hamelburg has left us to go abroad. She will not return until next September. Lucky girl! We hope that Thelma and Hazel Kelley, who intend to go on the Washington trip, will have a very enjoyable time. William Ingalls, the class treasurer, makes his headquarters in Room 211. We have heard of “pearls of thought” and “pearls cast before swine,” but a shower of pearls is a new one. Ask Ida B., of Room 215. Room 209 wishes to welcome our new class- mate, John Jordan. We are hoping to have 100% payment of class dues in this room, and we wish success to the Sophomore Class officers. A warning: Proudfoot, a member of Room 201, wove one of those contrabrand red neck- ties, and a few days later came down with scarlet fever. We hope for his speedy recovery, but Sophomores, the scarlet fever germ is not the only creature on the trail of red ties! The corridor is worse than Chicago streets! Teacher: “Johnny, what is the meaning of ‘equinox?’ ” Student (thoughtfully): “Equi, horse; nox, night—nightmare, ma’am.” Teacher: “What figure of speech is: T love my teacher?’ ” Jim: “Sarcasm.” The story is told of a Scotchman who was keeping a lonely vigil by his dying wife’s bed- side. As the shades of night deepened he was forced to go out and complete a few chores. Before going he left a word with his suffering wife: “If you think that you will die before I return, Annie, be sure and blow out the candle.” George Stevenson and Arthur Townsend have joined the baseball team. We wonder why J—s—p— P—e—s— is ab- sent almost every Friday. Have you heard this one?:— During the war, at one of the training camps, the cook was going to make rabbit stew for dinner, and some one said to him, “Isn’t that rather a delicacy? It will take a good many rabbits to make enough to go around.” The cook replied that he would put some horse-meat in for balance. “What proportion do you use?” “Oh, fifty-fifty. One rabbit to one horse.” STUDENTS’ COUNCIL ASSEMBLY President Donald Hurd, of the Senior Class, opened the assembly, telling the aims of the Students’ Council. Robert Thomas spoke on “What the Students’ Council Has Done in the Past.” In 1924 they established the Traffic- Squad, and during the next two years they boosted the banking system. John Ramsey set forth the accomplishments and improvements of the Students’ Council in 1926 and 1927. Laurence Williams, president of the Junior Class, told of the “Spirit of the Students’ Coun- cil,” and John Hayes, president of the Sopho- more Class, spoke on “Co-operation.” Mr. Avery spoke well of the classes and urged continuance and improvement in stand- ards of school work. WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY Juniors! We want you to share the interest- ing activities of our organization. We are com- posed, now, mostly of Seniors and Sophomores but few Juniors. Next year we want to have some Seniors to carry on the work and fun. If you are interested come down and visit us. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 167 LULLABY TIME By Bertha M. Corfield, ’28 When da day am ober. an’ da sun hab gone ta res’, An’ da shadders in da treetops come to kiss da birdies’ nes’, Den a mammy in her cabin in da cotton wood away Call her l’il pickaninnies from dere rollickin’ an’ play. Says, “Ma chillun’ daddy’s commin’ we’d his banjo an’ a tune, So sit yo' by yo’ cabin do’ an’ watch ole mammy moon As she rises o’er da fores’, till she light our cabin flo’, Den, ma dusky l’il chillun’. to yo’ beds jes’ as ob yo’. Softly den da banjo’s strummin’ was de only soun’ was heard, Till ole Mammy Moon’s bright pathway on da cabin flo’ appeared. Den da 1’il pickaninnies to do lan’ ob Nod did go An’ da hummin’ an’ da banjo lone was heard so sof’ an’ low. Yas suh,—When da day am ober an’ da sun hab gone to res' Dats da time all dusky chillun’ lub ob all da res’ da bes’. MUSIC By Mary Pineo, ’28 Amid sweet, soaring strains of song We reach the heavenly heights Where all is peace and minds content In dreams of mystic sights. The music of a trickling brook Or sounds at dawning day, The song of war, of peace, of joy, In notes of music lay. A little music here and there Cheers an aching heart. In Heaven’s gift of beauty rare From sorrow men depart. IN A CORDOVAN GARDEN Iiy Georgina L. Morey, ’28 In the stillness of the starlit night, In a fragrant Cordovan garden Where dew lies cool and bright, And blossoms are honey-laden, There comes the sound Of a Morish guitar, Sensuous, undulating In the jasmine perfumed breeze. Across that lap of silvery moonlight, Flooding that cloistered haven, Darting like one in stealthy flight Stole a Spanish maiden, Whence came the sound Of the Moorish guitar Beckoning, calling In the softly whispering breeze. DREAM SHIPS By Jean C. Lamb. ’28 One day as I was strolling Beside the ocean blue, I saw a ship with sails of white That brought me thoughts of you. How each hour you had hoped and dreamed That some day bye and bye, Your ship might come from a port afar To raise your hopes on high. “When my ship come in,” had been your song As you built air castles fine; And I wondered as I watched those sails When would come that happy time. But many ships that sail away Upon the ocean blue, Have ne’er returned to bring the wealth And treasure that was due. And so the little dream-ships, That seem so fair and bright, Are often wrecked, although the port Seems just about in sight. 168 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EXCHANGES By Labra Peck The Broadcast, Everett Senior High School, Everett, Mass:—You are bubbling over with school spirit. Your Jester in “The Jester’s Column” is indeed a wise and witty one. The Grotonian, Groton School, Groton, Mass:—Your magazine shows what boys can do when they want to. Wouldn’t a few cuts add to its appearance? The Palmer, Palmer, Mass.:—Your stories are certainly very original and surprising. A few more editorials would not be amiss. Red and Gray, Fitchburg High School, Fitch- burg, Mass.:-—Your departments are splendidly developed. Evidently you have some very lively artists. The Orange Leaf, Orange High School, Orange, N. J.:—A fine Edison number! The “School News” is indeed “newsy.” The Enfield Echo, Enfield High School, Thompsonville, Conn.—A dandy little magazine under an attractive green cover. The Wyndonian, Windham High School, Wil- liamantic, Conn.:—We like your stories and poems. Why not have some cuts? The Tauntonian, Taunton, Mass.:—We like the newsyness of your paper. Your freshmen must be quite up and coming. The Noddler, East Boston High School, Bos- ton, Mass.:—We wish to 0. K. your statement that your magazine is indeed one of the best. A lively paper for a lively school! The Blue and Gold, Malden High School, Mal- den, Mass.:—One gets a very good idea of your school activities from reading your paper. JOKES “Dear John,” wrote the young wife from the fashionable resort, “I am enclosing the hotel bill.” “Dear Mary,” replied the young husband, “enclosed find check, but please consult me the next time before buying any hotel. They cheated you.” A man wanted a ticket to a place in New York and only had a two-dollar bill. It required three dollars to get the ticket. He took the two-dollar bill to a pawn shop and pawned it for a $1.50. On his way back to the depot he met a friend to whom he sold the pawn ticket for $1.50. That gave him three dollars for his ticket. Now, who is out the dollar? An original and wiley Junior remarked that it wasn’t the rules of the school that he ob- jected to: it was just the principal of the thing. One can forgive people their virtues if their vices are sufficiently attractive. “Where’d ya get the black eye—been fight- in?” “Nah! Got bit by a butterfly.”—Colorado Dodo. He took her hand in his and gazed proudly at the engagement ring he had placed on her fair finger only three days before. “Did your friends admire it?” he inquired tenderly. “They did more than that,” she replied coldly. “Two of them recognized it.” S. S. Teacher: “Where do little boys go who fish on Sunday?” Johnny: “Over to the deep hole on Perkin’s farm.”—New Orleans Times Picayune. She was in Alaska looking over a fox farm. After admiring a beautiful silver specimen, she asked her guide, “Just how many times can the fox be skinned for his fur?” “Three times, Madam,” said the guide grave- ly. “Any more than that would spoil his tem- per.”—Literary Digest. Irate and suspicious teacher: “Boy, we can dispense with that noise up there!” But the boy was not a magician—the noise came from the ster.mpipe. “My girl dresses to please herself,” she says. Well, it doesn’t take much to please her. Jvs thi kt ewet-y Some Ciies Better teu L«'$t t r irr t I iary Aid a.

In deciding your next step, it may help you to know that a knowledge of business is needed in almost every vocation. Your chief problem is to be sure you are properly equipped for the vocation you will choose. If it is to be business, you can best acquire this equipment through a business training at Burdett College. The courses offered at Burdett College vary in time from one to two years. They are designed for those with college, preparatory and high school training. For applicants with less schooling shorter courses are offered.

At this time even the most frivolous of seniors begin to realize the seriousness of the occasion. We have been together for the past three years as members of the class of '27. Possibly dur- ing our Sophomore year we became somewhat discouraged on hearing a frequent talk in as- sembly by Mr. Avery or Mr. Pearson on our childish conduct. However, our Sophomore year soon passed, our Junior year dawned, “waxed and waned” as an eventful and happy year in the history of the class of '27. Then came our Senior year—a year of happy com- panionship it truly has been, even the most skeptical mind must admit. Now, Seniors, these three years are all but completed, how may we derive the most from our remaining weeks? is the question with which we are con- fronted. A number of the faculty members still accuse us of being inconsiderate and of showing little respect for the school in gen- eral at this time. This criticism is rather harsh. Can we of the class of '27 remove this mark from senior traditions? Let us take these last few weeks of school seriously, and attend closely to our studies in school time and ex- press our gaiety during Senior Night, Class Day, and Graduation. It is not an impossi- bility. It can be done. And the class of '27 can accomplish it. The entire Year Book StafT is to be congratu- lated on the present campaign for the purpose of boosting subscriptions. It clearly demon- strates the excellent management of Air. Sprague and the untiring willingness of his staff of workers. The numbered tags for the drawing for a five dollar gold piece is a com- mendable scheme. Many congratulations are extended to those who are honored with the offices of Class Day. The Senior Class and the entire school look forward with much expectation to their appear- ance on that eventful day. Excellent numbers, Juniors. A great credit to the members of the Junior Staff and the entire class. We Seniors will anxiously look forward to your publications of next year. Good luck, Juniors. The following things are pleasant to hear: Elizabeth Stewart, Hester Waldron, and Lillian Kingston, graduates of this school and now at- tending Radcliffe College, were admitted to the Phi Beta Kappa last February. It was announced on February 1, 1927, that Robert Stevens, '22, wins the Morrill Allen Gal- lagher Memorial Scholarship of .$600.00 at Dart- mouth College. Marion Rich, '26, is president of the History Club at Boston University. Angelo P. Bertocci and Stuart Webster Chap- man, both also of Boston University, are newly- elected members of the Phi Beta Kappa. Inci- dentally, Angelo Bertocci is an appointee under the “Augustus Howe Buck Educational Fund” for exceptional merit in scholarship. The prize in the Near East Relief Poster contest was won by George Morel, a sophomore of this school. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 185 Adonis Jones By Alice Dunlap [Third Prize Story] JONES, commonly known to rorld as Billie Jones, studied •eflection in the mirror. He , and smiled over his er at himself; then he leaned across the dresser-top and whispered, “Not so worse.” With amazing foresight Billie had mapped out his future completely. He felt justified therefore in speaking of himself in such a pre- tentious manner. From the hidden recesses of the closet he unearthed a bottle. He slicked back his care- fully parted hair with both hands and pro- ceeded to do his bit toward increasing the de- mand for “Slic-um.” Shaving being still frowned upon by his elders, he had been forced to go through this exciting operation in secret and it was not his intention to do it in a slip-shod manner. From a long, green-frosted bottle he poured a pinkish liquid. He patted the soothing lotion into his skin slowly and painstakingly and then he left the room. For no other reason than that he was burdened by a guilty conscience, he tip- toed down the hall. He knocked stealthily on the door of the next room and immediately it swung open. His eldest sister, resplendent in a cerise kimona trimmed with black ostrich feathers, surveyed him. It might be added that she held a large white comb between her teeth and a sizzling curling iron in her right hand. Under the circumstances her welcome was not over-cordial. “What do you want now, pest?” “Uh—er,” said Billie, that is, Adonis, “I was wondering if—you’d seen my—my—.” He seemed at loss. “My—grey silk socks, any- where.” “My land,” said his sister. Then she grew unnecessarily sarcastic. “If you can’t find them in the living-room on the piano, or in the back hall in the ice-box, you might possibly find them in your own room!” She slammed the door. Billie, un- abashed, answered, saying:— “Aw, tune down; get under the bed!” He immediately tip-toed across the hall. He stopped before another door and knocked on its panel with less certainty. There being no response he knocked again, made brave by the silence. He began to smile. He opened the door and made a hasty entrance. The room was cluttered with feminine finery but Billie merely stepped over a pair of silver slippers standing at right angles and made tracks for the dressing table. A varied assortment of boxes was displayed. Billie grinned sinfully and picked up a rose-colored box with black let- tering, “Wild Rose Face Powder,” and under- neath in less assuming type: “Have a complex- ion as radiant as a wild rose in spring time.” He sniffed it critically and concluded that he was familiar with the odor of this species of flower. It suggested to him the combined fragrances of bay rum and new-mown hay. He selected one of the three puffs that were in evidence, and laid a heavy coating of florid powder over his face. He dusted it off—as usual, painstakingly. He scrutinized himself at varied distances from the mirror and took off more where it lay in prominence. He left the box open and went back, still on tip-toe, to his own room. Inside he glanced in the looking glass and smiled; he looked toward the windows and sighed. In the first place he didn’t want to go to this old party. If it hadn’t been for the compensa- ting presence of Edie he would have refused to go. Parties at Helen Stone’s house were unenjoyable things. Every few minutes it was Helen’s mother’s habit to stick her head in the doorway and ask: “Having a good time, young people?” She had a very high voice that see- sawed and got on Billie’s nerves. And if Mrs. Stone didn’t pop in, Mr. Stone did. How could a fellow get any kick out of a party when people were sticking their heads in doorways! Besides, Clarabelle Schopenheimer would be there, and if there was anything that Billie disliked more than heads sticking in doorways, it was Clarabelle’s attentions. One time he’d been sitting on a couch enjoying himself when Clarabelle sat down beside him. Billie had moved on discreetly a little and so had Clara- belle. Finally there hadn’t been any more room to move on, whereupon Billie had been obliged to rise and give his interpretation of the Valen- cia to be rid of her imposing company. At the appointed hour Adonis stood before 186 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Edie’s house and whistled. Little Herbie came to the door. “Hey. Bill,” he bellowed, “Edith’s gone aw- ready. Freddie’s got a new car and she went with him.” Stella came with additional infor- mation. She was twelve, and garrulous and had an exceptional affection for detail. “It’s a roadster, ’n’ its blue, V it’s got soft, sinky cushions ’n’ it’s got b’loon tires—” It wouldn’t have mattered how much longer she talked after that for Billie wouldn’t have heard her, but Mrs. Fields came out and of- fered an explanation. “It was so misty, William, and Frederic said he could take her in a minute. Edie knew you wouldn’t mind. She said she’d see you there.” Mrs. Fields bestowed a gracious smile upon him. “Come again,” said Herbie amiably, “but try and get in!” Adonis smiled painfully. “Herbie was that sort of child,” he reflected. His jokes were hardly amusing and not at all original. Billie moved on. “So—she was expecting to meet him there—Well, perhaps she would! Did she think she was at liberty to throw him over and pick him up again at will? She certainly had a large-sized surprise coming. Evidently she had not counted on the Jones’ spirit or the Jones’ Latin hot-headedness. For love—or was it scorn—of this woman, he’d give up this good time that had meant so much to him—that he hail so looked forward too. He would go home and in his sorrow would delve deep into his work to forget the cause of his sacrifice. Edith seemed to have forgotten that she was dealing with a spirited gentleman who could not be easily spurned.” (Billie in his anger seemed not to notice that his decisions failed to be con- sistant with one another.) To-morrow after a tortuous night of study and concentration, he would go to the elocution class—commanding in his new attitude of profound knowledge and wisdom. It gave him a warm feeling to dwell on the thought; and then, too, people who go to parties don't have time to do their home-work. His prominence would be greater by comparison with certain people who wouldn’t know their lesson. In later years when he would be a doc- tor, or an artist, or an inventor, or something, he would not forget his heart had been torn asunder by a pitiless woman. Then he would drive through these old dingy streets in a grey roadster with sinky cushions and balloon tires and things. Then he’d have grey roadsters, and coupes, and limousines, and touring cars, and racers—every kind of car you could im- agine! He opened the front door of his home and caught it just before it slammed to. He had planned a reckless entrance but thought better of it and crept to his room in silence. Without taking off his coat he piled his books before him on the study table and opened a history: “The peasants, oppressed beyond en- durance by the upper classes were, by way of warning, beginning to—” Sometime she’d look in a magazine and see his picture and an article all about how he had succeeded. “Beginning to give evidence of restlessness—” On second thought maybe it would be better not to start the vigorous round of studying tonight. Per- haps an appearance of light-heartedness would bring her to regret. He’d play around for a time enjoying himself; then she’d wish she had power to make him suffer over his repulsion. She’d probably pine away quite a bit over it, but he’d never let on he noticed. He tried to picture her watching vainly for him at the party—the gaiety around meaning nothing to her in her anxiety; but the picture that persisted in his mind was of Edith sitting in sinky cushions in a grey roadster. As has always happened—Thursday came. Billie swaggered to class—the elocution class. Edie’s eyes were glued upon him. He could have whistled to show his utter disregard for her, but the teacher was looking at him. Edith passed him a note. Two little wrinkles came between her eyes. “Why didn’t you go, Billie? I didn’t think you’d mind. What happened?” The spurned suitor wrote back in a scrawling negligent hand:— “Really, I had too much to do. Hope you had a fairly good time.” He sent it back to her and yawned; he was a man of the world now— experience had made him so. In the course of minutes Adonis found him- self standing before the class. It was with a pompous air that he began:— “Friends, Rc-mans, Citizens.” Then his voice began to wabble from low to high with cracked inflections. “Lend me your ears”—then fol- lowed a long blank, during which his heart beat, his feet shifted and his face grew red. “Watch ’im wilt like a wi’let,” whispered a benevolent person in the front row. Out of the blank came Miss Lombard’s voice:— “Not for two weeks have you given me a passable recitation, Jones.” He knew Edith was watching him. He looked over and above her and yawned again. All great men had their (Continued on Page 188) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 187 The Carton Document By Fred M. Sharkey [Third Prize Essay] RECENT REPORT from London tells of an unusual manuscript in the hands of Hon. Haynes Mill- bury, a London lawyer. It was re- ceived in his mail in a small wooden box, and was post-marked “Santa Fe, New Mexico, U. S. A.,” evidently mailed in July, 1926. It has thrilled the scientific and histori- cal authorities of the world. The manuscript reads:— “My name is Henry C. Carton, once an inhabi- tant of England, and subject of His Majesty. This is a legal supplication for aid, therefore, I sent it to the family lawyer, that that member of the bar may place it in the hands of good authorities, as he chooses. I have no doubt of its value as a manuscript of historical inter- est. I was expelled from Oxford in March, 1911, for my conduct, which of course is nothing to brag about. While studying in that college I was deeply interested in etymology and ancient history. Naturally, when I found myself in the outside world, I looked for a position where I could apply my talents. My quest was not long. Sir Peter Courtland, who was distinguished as an excavator in Egypt, was preparing an ex- pedition to Asia Minor and the Valley of the Tigris and Euphrates. I obtained a position as private secretary to Sir Peter. I helped in selecting equipment and men and secured also several eminent professors of science and his- tory. Professor Herr Schmutz, of the Univer- sity of Berlin, accompanied us, also. Transpor- tation offered very little difficulty. In January, 1912, we were hard at work in the Euphrates Valley. The purpose was to ex- cavate the palace and city of Nevodach-nadin- akhi, who lived about 1106 B. C., a decendant of the Chaldean race and an ancestor of Queen Semiramis, who built Babylon. The said palace was found in a fairly good state of preserva- tion, thanks to climate, beneath strata of sand. We found much bronze and many interesting dadoes or bas reliefs, but otherwise we found nothing except a few ruined tablets concerning bills of sale of sheep and animals. Their lan- guage was not hard to decipher. It was not vastly different from Greek, which all the party knew and was a form of Sanscrit with a tinge of ancient Chinese. It was this tinge of Chinese that caused me to believe that the Chaldeans originated in China. Some of these tablets are now in the British Museum. One day while exploring idly during the per- iod when the others were enjoying an after- dinner siesta, I found an amazing tablet. It was well preserved and large and the outer clay shell had a mixture of hieroglyphics and a form of Sanscrit. As near as I could translate it, it read:— “An Account of the Wanderings of the People” —The last word I could not translate, and per- haps could not pronounce if I did. With great care I broke the outer shell and found the inner one to be inclosed in a heavy, glass-like substance which was wax. The wax -removing was a real difficulty, but inside, to my surprise, was a tablet of wood. This was a startling discovery, as wood was never used as a tablet maker by the inhabitants of this coun- try because of its scarcity. Another discovery was that the wood was white and very light, a species only found in South America and Mex- ico. I knew I had stumbled on something import- ant, perhaps the account of the Lost Tribe, or perhaps the key to where civilization really began. I hid the tablet, vowing that any glory from it should be mine. During the days that followed I attempted to analyze why such an odd tablet should be there. First, it was of wood found only in America, so why should it be there? It may be the con- necting link between the American Indian and the Asian and European peoples. Second, there is such a link somewhere, since these ancient people built strong houses of clay in the same manner as the Aztec-Indians and wove earings and bracelets in the same manner. Also, the wandering Tartars built their homes in the same manner as the wandering Indian of Amer- ica did. The American Indians always dis- tinguished by a feather headdress, and many of the Babylonian Kings are found to have had feather headdresses in their bas-reliefs. Third: The Aztec Indians, particularly the Inca race, had a civilization that was built for thousands of years before the white man came. They also had libraries and wrote on stone. 188 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Fourth: The Aztec Indians built pyramids in Mexico similar to those in Egypt. Every day at the noon hour, or other hours of rest I would study the tablet. It was a very laborious task and called all my powers of analysis and etymology to the fore. For two years I kept my secret, and worked every day on the tablet. The war broke out in 1914 and the expedition returned to England laden with much historical data. In London I had the libraries at my com- mand, and in 1915 I had a satisfactory transla- tion to my find. It affirmed my beliefs, and this translation will some day be famous. Here is my translation: “I, Son of the Moon, do write about my people. We come from afar —a great distance. We lived in a country of sand like this which we have taken for our home. I am an old man. In my youth we set out from the old family and I brought this to record it. We passed from the land of God and followed him. We went up to the cold through mountains and forests. A great multitude died. We passed through a cold region of lakes where the earth trembles often, thence toward the sun many moons. Our tribe in part stayed in places to their liking. Thence we come here. To return home would be too long and also the region, where the earth trembled, is covered with water, hence we will not go back. I, Son of the Moon, draw our old home and its hunt- ing ground ’ There is a map which greatly resembles Mex- ico, pointing cut mountains and rivers. To find the other link I have come to Amer- ica, and have searched for eight years, and know I will definitely prove that civilization was born in America and not in Central Asia. But, my friends, I am in Santa Fe, exploring some funeral mounds of a dead race and have reached the end of my funds, hence I appeal to you and to the English government for financial aid in my work.” “HENRY C. CARTON” Despite this document which has set the peo- ple cf London in a high pitch, the London Police want Henry Carton for forgery. Henry Carton, ne’er-do-well, and practical joker, was jailed in Santa Fe for drunkeness, forgery and attempt to obtain money under false pretenses. What we should like to believe is the hoax of an irresponsible, yet educated joker. ADONIS JONES (Continued from Page 186) weak spots; why should he permit this trifle to disturb him! Then followed certain exercises which Billy detested. They were facial exercises in which one was obliged to twist one’s face into numer- ous undignified positions. His distaste sug- gested to him that he refrain from such child- ishness, but Miss Lombard was not one likely to listen to reason. He looked furtively around him; Edith was making little, lady-like faces that consisted mostly of the arching of the eye brows and the pouting of lips. Being assured of his safety Adonis succumbed. He made faces. He made whole-hearted ones, strenuous ones. He made squashy faces and long down- in-the-mouth ones, one-sided ones. Miss Lom- bard raised her hand as a signal of relief, but Billie deep in the throes of countenance manu- facture—saw her not. He heard a titter and opened his eyes. He felt himself shrink rapid- ly. He slunk down in his seat and scratched his pad with his pencil. People always scoffed at doctors and inventors and poets and people like that. When he was a poet or inventor, his feelings would soften—perhaps in him was a strain of the poetic lying latent until he should be aroused by sorrow. He drew a six-pointed star pensively and wrote:— “It was a beautiful day in June.” Ah, “moon” would rhyme with “June” and all he had to do was to substitute “night” for “day.” “It was a beautiful night in June, There was a moon.” That sounded a bit incomplete. Silvery moon! That showed poetic feeling. Let’s see, now for another verse. “There was a beautiful June breeze.” “Breeze”—“sneeze”—“keys”—“wheeze.” They didn’t seem to make much sense. Maybe it would be better to wait for his muse to get warmed up, so to speak. In the meantime he might discover that inventing was his “forte.” It satisfied him to remember an act of ingeni- ousness in his early youth. It had been a shot- gun — the object of his talents — a shot-gun with a cork which snapped into the air when the trigger was pulled. This shooting cork had caused no little labor and discomfort. It had an unreasonable way of hiding in dark crevices when one’s mother had refused to waste an- other cork for “such foolishness.” Necessity being the mother of invention Billie had bent (Continued on Page 190) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 18 Once again the Radiator is closing its pages for the summer months and can look back with satisfaction to its success during 1926-1927. I can say with a great deal of pleasure that this page has clearly shown the growing popularity and appreciation of poetry among the pupils of this school. Poems showing a high degree of excellence and depth of thought have been sub- mitted. The Poetry Club has done excellent work in presenting in an entertaining fashion this mode of self-expression of things beautiful and the Radiator has recorded a few of the best poems submitted by members of this excellent group of young people. Poetry is not something which can be ob- tained by demand—that is if you want the best. It must come voluntarily as an offering and the columns of this page have been supported with this idea in mind, the poems being submitted as the wish of the writer. I believe poetry is rapidly gaining a place among people of high school age, and we are proud to refer to a poetry club of over a hun- dred members and a full page of self-submitted poetry in the school magazine. John Pierce. THE MOON A bulging disc of beaten gold, Hung over the sleeping earth. The path through the mystic woods, Like a mottled band, Wound beneath a canopy of leaves. Plunging into dark depths, Emerging again; Broadening into light-bathed glens Until, coming to the open hillside Was lost in a wilderness of grasses. John Pierce. DAWN-DREAM I love the day at dawning, A moon both bright and fair; Across the sky a rosy streak Oft’ settles there. Birds pour out their souls and sing Melodies of love; While every dewdrop, sparkling thing Reflects the light above. I love the day at dawning, A noon-day sunny-bright; Sun comes dazzling thro’ the trees And wraps the world in light. Skies are clear and brightest blue, Leaves are lustrous green, Rosy roses kissed by dew Near a silv’ry stream. I love the day at dawning, Also the peaceful even’, Where the kindly moon lets down a ray Transplendant out of heaven. The day was good when the sun was high,, I loved it when it rose, But best of all when even’s sigh Was whispering at its close. Pearl 0. Doyle, ’27. ALONE I was alone And longed for The sound of A human voice And the touch of A hand in mine. And then like A dream, A rose-misted dream, I was lifted and Carried away To the very Presence of Almighty God!— And the loneliness Faded away. Alice L. Dunlap, ’27 GOD’S NOT SATISFIED God’s not satisfied with half way, Or, “Perhaps the thing is right,” God’s only satisfied with the whole way. And, I know this thing is right.” God’s not satisfied with partial love Or love derived from fears, He want a love that’s all love, From the sacrifice of years. He doesn’t spare Himself, you know Or shift His toil to thee, He’ll help you, your boat to row, Across the roughest sea. Janet H. Putnam, ’27 190 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR PLAYERS’ CLUB As the hurry of the end of the year ap- proaches, the members of the Players’ Club are still working. On June 3rd, the club will present three short plays: “Ruby Red,” “The Flattering Word,” and “Wolves.” Much time and effort has been spent in preparing the plays, and we are expecting a large number of people to come to see them. On Wednesday evening, April 27, the Play- ers’ Club members enjoyed the “Show Off,” presented by the Pen, Paint and Pretzel Society at Tufts College. This play was one among many which the club has had the pleasure of seeing, through the kindness of Professor Gil- mer, of Tufts Coliege. Yet while we are working hard we are plan- ning future recreation. The Players’ Club is contemplating an outing to be held sometime in June. Whalem Park, a small recreation cen- tre near Ashby, Massachusetts, is being con- templated as a possible place. Meanwhile, at weekly meetings, plans for next year are being formulated, that the work of the Players’ Club may not be stopped during the summer vacation. Blanche Baptista, Secretary. WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY On May 17, the Webster Debating Society will close the most successful year of its history. This year has not been one of spectacular vic- tories over outside schools but has rather been noted by a great victory at home. We have established ourselves in Somerville as a live and growing organization. Tuesday, the 17th, we chose the officers who are to guide the society through another even more successful year. Arnold Finley. Wednesday, April 20, 1927, the band gave a conceit at the Western Junior High School. As the pupils filed in the Junior High School Or- chestra played “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers.” The High School Band led by Clif- ford Bain then gave a concert. On the return trip a selection was played to each of the three grammar schools along the route. On Wednesday, April 20, the student body of Somerville High had the pleasure of attend- ing a spelling bee which was presented through the efforts of the Radiator Staff. The affair was conducted by Bob Emery of Station WEEI, who kindly gave his services and time to make this event a successful undertaking. A five- dollar prize was presented by Mr. Avery to Miss Virginia Kenny of Room 309, winner of the contest. Miss Kenny is to be complimented on her excellent work, a credit to herself, and to her school. It is unnecessary to quote the old phrase “a good time was had by all,” for the applauding, laughing and cheering is, even a month later, still resounding in our ears.

The cork was ever at hand. Theie may have been a gift for this sort of thing in his family. He remembered his mother had shown its presence by any number of little ways. Maybe mothers were like that, though. His father had been reading lately a book called, “Inventors and Their Inventions.” There was an article about the manufacture of some special kind of rubber there, too.

Blanche pitched a fine game, striking out fifteen and holding the Melrose team run- less except for the fifth inning. Melrose scored 3 in the fifth but Somerville came back in their half and put four runs over. Luppi and Butters singled, Escott sacrificed, Blanche was hit—and Goodwin doubled, giving the winning margin. Somerville counted again in the sixth, Corbett was passed, Luppi singled and sacrifices by Escott and O’Brien scored Corbett and Luppi. In the eighth, Butters tripled and came home on a wild throw. The score:— R H E Somerville ....0 0 0 0 4 2 0 1 0—7 6 2 Melrose .............0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0—3 10 2 Batteries for Somerville—Blanche and Luppi. Batteries for Melrose—Simpson and McHugh, Spadavara and Kehoe. SOMERVILLE SHUT OUT BY MEDFORD In a fine pitchers’ battle between Captain Danny Connors, of Medford, and A1 Blanche, of the Red and Blue, Connors came out on top largely through Somerville’s misplays. A home- run by McCune featured and was the longest hit of the game. Sam Lanigan in leftfield for Somerville, was the only one who could hit Connor's offerings, getting two hits out of three chances. Mc- Cune gathered half of Medford’s six hits in his five times at bat. Blanche and Connors each struck out twelve batters, but five errors in the Somerville infield counted heavily and Medford had a 6 to 0 shut- cut to their credit. The score:— R. H. E. Medford .......0 1 0 1 3 0 1 0 0—6 6 1 Somerville ....0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0—0 3 5 Batteries—Connors, Wells; Blanche and Luppi. SOMERVILLE BEATS BROOKLINE Somerville won the first league game at Dil- boy Field beating Brookline 1 to 0. Each team got but two safe blows, but Somerville’s one run in the fifth was enough. Lanigan was safe on Connor’s error, he stole second, went to third on Corbett’s sacrifice, and came home on the throw in from Donovan’s long fly to deep cen- tre. A1 Blanche struck out eight rival batters and Sonny Sondheim, Brookline’s ace, fanned eleven. Captain Tom McGovern and Steve Leveroni were in the line-up for the first time and ac- counted for Somerville’s only hits. SOMERVILLE TRIMS WINCHESTER, 9 TO 0 Jim Hall, a sophomore, pitched his first game and won, allowing only five scattered hits. Izzy Isenstadt started the game off right by poking the ball into the brook for the circuit. He was the first man up in the Somerville ball of the first inning. The second was Somerville’s big inning. Lanigan started the inning and was sate at first on an error, Corbett was passed, Donovan bunted and was safe filling the base, Hal) singled, Isenstadt singled, Good- win then tripled, Butters was out. but McGov- ern singled, driving in Goodwin. Leveroni was out and Lanigan finished up the inning, the team having batted around. The six runs scored in this inning were plenty, two more were added, one in third and another in the fifth. Walter Corbett had a field day getting one hit and three passes in his four trips to the plate. In the field he accepted ten chances with- out an error. Isenstadt gathered three hits in four times at bat. The game was called in the seventh on account of the rain. The score:— R. H. E. Somerville ..............1 6 10 1 0—9 8 0 Winchester .........0 0 0 0 0 0—0 5 6 WALTHAM, 6; SOMERVILLE, 4 Somerville lost a hard-fought game to Wal- tham at the latter’s field April 30. John “Monkey” Ryan pitched fine ball and deserved to win, but errors on the rough field gave Waltham the edge. Somerville out-hit the W'atch City boys 11—6, but the six Somer- ville errors made up the difference. McGovern put Somerville ahead in the sec- ond, poling the ball over the fence for a homer. Waltham tied the score in the third and went ahead in the fourth when Ward, the first man up, hit a home run. Here Ryan bore down and fanned the next three. Somerville got a run in the sixth when Butters singled, Leveroni 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR singled, and Bielis doubled, scoring Butters. Waltham scored two in the seventh on some Somerville errors. Somerville rallied in the ninth after two were out. Donovan was safe on an error, and Isenstadt hit a home run. Goodwin fanned and the game was over. The score:— R. H. E. Waltham ........0 0 1 1 2 0 2 0 x—6 6 2 Somerville .....0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2—4 11 6 Batteries—Sanborn and Connolly; Ryan and McGovern. SOMERVILLE, 9; EVERETT, 2 Somerville knocked Everett out of the Subur- ban League race with a barrage of hits and runs against DiAngelo and Ward, the Everett twirl ers. Everett took the lead in the second inning. Fisher’s double and DiMott’s homer accounting for two runs which were all they got. In their half of the same inning Somerville scored four runs. Bielis started the inning right by hitting the ball into the brook for four bases. Lanigan singled. Corbett sacrificed, Donovan singled. Blanche singled, Isenstadt was passed and Goodwin singled, accounting for three runs. The fourth inning brought two more runs to Somerville’s credit after two outs. Isenstadt was passed and Goodwin sent one sailing in the brook. In the next inning Bielis, first up, singled, Lanigan was out, Bielis stole second and moved along with Corbett who was passed when Donovan hit a single. Blanche then got his second single and sent Donovan across the plate to account for three more runs.—The score:— Somerville .....0 4 0 2 3 0 0 0 0—9 13 2 Everett ........0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0—2 4 2 Batteries for Somerville—Blanche and Mc- Govern. Batteries for Everett—DiAngelo, Word and DiMott. CAMBRIDGE, 3; SOMERVILLE, 2 Somerville lost a thrilling battle with Cam- bridge Latin at Russell Feld. In the first inning things looked dark for Somerville with three men on and Hilliard at bat. Here something unusual happened. Hil- liard ducked a fast one but it hit his bat and rolled fair. Hilliard claiming he was hit, did not run, neither did the three other Cantolis on the bags. A1 Blanche took the ball walked across home plate, strolled to third and tagged the base, then tossed to Isenstadt who com- pleted the triple killing. Cambridge scored two runs in the second on three hits, an error, and a sacrifice. After this, Blanche settled down and all was quiet until the eighth with Blanche and McKinnon engag- ing in a real pitching duel. In the hectic eighth, Goodwin singled and McGovern hit a long fly over the fence to tie the score at two all. In their half of the eighth Cambridge won the game after two were out. Blanche made a wild throw to first putting Davis on the sacks. Har- low singled, scoring Davis and winning the game. The score:— R H E Cambridge ....0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0—3 9 1 Somerville ...0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0—2 6 4 Batteries for Cambridge—McKinnon and Harlow. Batteries for Somerville—Blanche and Mc- Govern. ATHLETICS The baseball team has still more than half their games unplayed, so come on and watch a few. The crowds have been too small for a school of twenty-two hundred. George Goodwin is the leading batter of the team, socking the apple for .346. Captain Tom McGovern is right behind and looks like the best receiver in the League. The Harvard Interscholastics should give Finn, Lewis and Mclnness a chance to bring seme track laurels to Somerville. The second team under Ned Garland’s in- struction gives everybody a chance to play ball and make the team. They have a schedule, a victory over Revere Seconds, and a close 5—4 defeat at Brookline’s hands to their credit. TRACK Somerville beat Cambridge Latin in the first dual track meet of the season, 45 to 27. Lewis won the 100-yard dash in fast time with Charlie Finn second. Finn and Lewis swapped places in the 220. In the 440, Lewis ran away from the field with Morley, of Somerville, second. Mclnness won the 880 with two Cantabs fol- lowing. Porteous and Power took first and second in the mile for Latin with Dick Finn third. Jim Bickford won the high jump with Cantabs second and third. Cambridge took their other first in the broad jump, McCullen winning. Paul Mclnness took second and Mor- ley and Charlie Finn tied for third. Mclnness won the shot-put. Murray, of Latin, was sec- ond, and Bearchemin, third. At the Boston College Interscholastic meet Lewis, Somerville’s star quarter miler, took second place. Lewis ran against time and with little competition or he would have won easily over Harrington, of Lowell, who was pressed all the way. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 193 CLASS NOTES 1927 Hermit C. Marsh, Editor Richard J. Hassett, Assistant Editor Congratulations, Juniors, on your successful Junior Night. The committee, consisting of Herbert Fallgren, chairman; Dorothy Gordon, and Olive MacPherson deserve special credit for their noble work. Seniors, do you realize that your high school career is nearly over. In a few weeks a great many of us will start on the trail of future hap- piness. This is, though we regret it, our last chance to express ourselves in the Radiator, and at this time let us take the opportunity to wish the Juniors and Sophomores the best of luck in their remaining years at the Somerville High School. Jewish Dialogue Funex: “Have you any eggs?” Svfx: “Yes, we have eggs.” Funem: “Have you any ham?” Sufm: “Yes, we have ham.” Funem: “Well, then, give me a pound of but- ter.” Mr. Sylvester ought to have told Marcus “how high is up” when he told him to close the window. Extensive Use of Adjectives in Advertising Fing Pong Co. Dear Madam:— In looking over our accounts we find the bill on your ball-bearing, cock-tip, non-freezing, automatic, vacuum, refillable, non-skid, silver- plated, self-starting, four-wheel braked, her- ring-eyed, non-leakable, imported, hop-flavored, peach-stain remover is 30 degrees, 40 minutes, 1 o seconds overdue. If such is not paid at once, you may draw your own conclusions. So keep off the grass and do your Christmas shopping early. Yours, P. P. Co. I wonder what teacher has been drilling on adjectives. Room 114 has 100% Radiator Year Book sub- scriptions in accordance with its usual high standards. Have you seen 3F’s Chinese Student Co Hen? Doctor P—: “What will be your future pro- fession, rich man, beggar man, poor man, thief,— ?” Voice from rear: “That’ll be me.” P—: “You won’t need any training for that.” C. R—pi—y: “A girl insulted me last night. She ask me if I could dance.” G. R. P.: “Well, what’s wrong with that?” C. R.: “Nothing, except that I was dancing with her at the time.” Heard at band practice:— Mr. M—: “Their band sat there for an hour without talking.” R. C. (above the shouts of increduality): “That wasn’t a band, it was a Sunday School class.” Can L. St—nl—y play that trombone in a tel- ephone booth? A. F. (in lunch room): “Say, there’s a fly in my soup.” J. C.: “Oh, that’s all right, he won’t drink much.” Room 115 has the greatest number in the National Honor Society. Eleven out of our fifteen were finally chosen. Some people grow wiser when they grow older. Others grow more foolish. We wonder which way Herb Gilbert developed after looking at a picture of his, taken when he was four years old. Room 128 is proud of the fine work Charles Finn and Horace Lewis have done on the track team this year, and we are also glad to mention the fact that we have a member of the honor society, Marion East, in our room. Mr. H— tells us that we act as if we were in the fourth grade and about two years old. Evidently he knows some infant prodigies! Does anyone know of a harder job than extracting money from the hard-pressed Seniors? We notice that the lawn is in fine condi- tion—it can’t be any too velvety to suit the S. H. S. regiment. It’s queer the “savage amusement” some people seem to obtain by counting the days left for the Seniors in the school term. Who has figured out the hours? 194 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1928 Olive B. MacPherson. Editor Sylvia Brown, Assistant Editor We regret that by some “inexcusable error,” the names of the last Junior Note Editors were mixed. They should have been:— Sylvia Brown, Editor Prescott Hall, Assistant Editor These last days are busy ones for every one. (The teachers ought to appreciate this.) A Greek went into a restaurant and this was the conversation he had with the waiter:— —FUNEX ? —SVFX! —FUNEM? —SVEM! —OH-MNX! “Music is absorbing,” someone has said. We think it must have been a person who tried to recite in Room 205. Ask Me Another. (But don’t expect me to answer it.) All types of people are represented here. Which are you? Sweet (girls only) serious, sappy (either) Entrancing, enjoyable Nice, neat, nervy, noisy Interesting, inanimate Orful, obliging, ’opeful (we’re Henglish) Rough, ready, remorseful (just now) Jolly, jovial Undesirable (of course there aren’t any) un- derstanding, unconquerable Nice, neat, nerveless Innocent—what ? Ignorant—no! Over the top every time! Remarkable, reversable Silly, slow, sweet OK Patient, painstaking, pitiful Helpful, horrible, honorable, hopeful! These are just some adjectives that might be applied to some pupils in their respective classes. Now that the Seniors are off the Traffic Squad one would think that they had just been let out of an asylum of some sort. What sort? 1929 Marion Smith, Editor Robert Forbes, Assistant Editor The flower show had been a great success and a few evenings later. Councillor Jones, who had performed the opening ceremony, was reading the local paper’s report ot it to his wife. Presently he stopped and snatching his stick, rushed from the room amazed. His wife picked up the paper and read:— “As Councillor Jones mounted the stage all eyes were fixed on the large red nose he dis- played. Only years of patient cultivation could have produced an object of such brilliance.” We are proud to announce that Room 202 has four maximum credits and ten credits. John J. Hayes, Sophomore Class president, is a member of Room 206. We were also the first room to have our class dues all paid. Of course we had to be in order not to disgrace our ciass president. Frank Lundstrom has been appointed assis- tant floor treasurer of the home rooms on the second floor. Hazel and Thelma Kelley, Room 211, who went on the trip to Washington, have announced that they had a wonderful time. We hope that the pupils who did not go to Washington en- joyed their vacation also. Room 211 has appeared on the bulletin for perfect attendance. My little nephew is a cute little shaver, and smart as a whip. The other day he said to me: “Uncle Oscar, if you’ll give me a nickel I’ll be good,” and I said: “If you want to be like the rest of the family you’ll have to be good for nothing.” Congratulations to Mary McCarthy, Robert Graham and Herbert Bockman, 213, who are on the honor roll for this quarter. What will happen if Joseph Spolidoro isn’t on the honor roll the last quarter? Room 201 again appears on the map with an honor roll consisting of two maximum credits and four credits.

AS WE SEE OTHERS The Monitor, Wellesley High School, Welles- ley, Mass.—This seems to be your first visit to us and we say “Welcome.” Your articles are well written but a few cuts would add. The Nor’easter, Northeastern Junior High School. Winter Hill, Mass—The “Education number” deserves a lot of praise. The Western Star, Western Junior High School. West Somerville, Mass.—The large list of pupils neither absent or tardy from school shows that interest in the school is great. The Log Cabin, Lincoln Junior High School, Medford, Mass.—Junior verse is very entertain- ing. We hope to make your acquaintance in future time. 196 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Murdock Murmurs, Murdock High School, Winchendon, Mass.—We are glad you enjoy us for we enjoy you too. Hope to hear from you again. The Madisonian, Madison High School, Madi- son, N. H.—“An Aggravating Forty Minutes is very interestingly written. The Norther, North Dallas High School, Dal- las, Texas.—We are glad to welcome you to our exchange column, and we hope you will keep up the acquaintance next year. You have an up-to-date magazine. The cartoons, “Valen- tines and Valentines, are great. The Homespun, Central High School, Greens- boro, N. C.—As usual you have a very “read- able” issue. “Lone At Six just fits the “Child- hood issue. AS OTHERS SEE US We enjoy your paper immensely. Your literary and editorial departments are good. The “Flashes ot Humor show that the editor has a good sense of humor. We will be glad when the next issue is published—Murdock Murmurs. A stronger Literary Department would add to your paper. We like your “Poet’s Corner. —The Madisonian. Your short stories are fine features in your magazine.—The Nor’easter. ADONIS JONES (Continued from Page 190) hadn’t noticed particularly what it was, but there could be another kind of rubber that they needed. After Adonis had discovered it people would read about him in a book. He felt an irresistable desire to confide in someone about these things. At recess he de- cided to let Helen Stone in on the new aspira- tion. It would serve the double purpose of easing his mind and making Edith jealous. Edith stopped him. Her eyes were shining. “Billie, they’ve given us the date of the Junior dance!’’ “Yes? said Billie, disinterested. “Freddie’s going to take you, I presume? Guess I’ll ask Helen,” he added, and smiled scathingly. “Billie, why Billie! Didn’t, didn’t you under- stand about—?’’ “Why, of course, my dear. That “my dear” was good. He moved on but he noticed that a dark shadow had come to Edith’s eyes. “Oh, Helen, he spoke, holding in his chin, and expanding his chest. “Did you know I am working on a sort of an invention ?” He put his hands in his pockets and rattled two dimes and a nickle against a horse-shoe nail ring, swing- ing all the time from heel to toe. “Invention, gasped Helen, “tell me about it. “You see it’s a certain kind of rubber. Now girls, like boys, do strange things when they are hurt. Edith chimed in, under a mask of flippancy:— “Ugh,—rubber! Makes me think of over- shoes and false teeth and flat tires. Helen giggled and Billie sniffed:— “That’s the way with people who ain’t— haven’t got any imagination. Look how they laughed at Benjamin Franklin when he in- vented the steamboat. “You mean Robert Fulton, not Benjamin Franklin, tittered Edith. She tossed her little light bobbed head defiantly. Helen giggled with her again. Billie looked at Edith, at Helen, at other bobbed heads in the room. It came to him that he could never be a “one-woman man —could never be more than indifferently inter- ested in any girl. A sort of passing infatua- tion in many possibly, but more than that—!’’ That’s how it would be—adored by many but loving none—Adonis Jones. The story should rightfully have ended there. Billie had intended it should end there, but life is full of disagreeable interruptions that come at beautiful moments. Edith, going into the dressing room, held her head down and her shoulders shaking. “Edith!’’ She seemed not to have heard him at all. He ran to her. “Edie, you’re not crying! She sniffed. “You horrid old thing! Billie was terrified. “Listen Edie, please, gee—honest, I—I—. Please, Edie—it’s my fault. I—I’ve been mean. I know it—honest you gotta believe I’m awful sorry. I’ll never do it again—aw, please don’t. He put his hand on her arm and patted it awk- wardly. “You—you’ll go to the Junior Dance with me ?’’ “There! he was gratified by her smile. “You know, I’d hate—like everything to have you— us not like each other. We’ll always be pals won’t we? Edith dried her eyes and smiled again. Billie relieved, tucked his hand through her arm. “Let’s—let’s go ’cross to the store and get a coupla mocha cakes. Will ya? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 197 At last the open season on red neckties is over. The Juniors have a lot to be thankful for but, to be really confidential, it did look rather funny to see them being sent home to have their mothers dress them properly. Now that spring is here—and all that—we notice the rapidly decreasing list of rooms with one hundred per cent, attendance. Foolish question number 345924—why? We heard the Washington trip was a howl- ing success. “Bea” Tarlson must have had a very educational trip. Her wisdom tooth has been bothering her ever since she returned. Our idea of the height of amusement is Fred Clark running up and down the Washington Monument. Class Day, dirty white shoes, sticky hands, and “squads right” coming soon. Saw the lawn mower paving the way as it were. Right at the present moment there are only two kinds of people in school—those that have paid for their Year-Book and those other people. Raymond’s bargains will seem very insignifi- cant when it is issued. It’s now or never. The very newest joke we have to offer is the one about Mr. Pearson’s hat—its new. If silence gives consent Coolidge ought to be in favor of everything. She was the kind of girl you could take home to mother—for a cook. “He done me wrong,” wailed the algebra problem. “There’s only one thing that frightens a horse now-a-days.” “What’s that?” “Another horse.” Billie, the brunette, says that she chooses her sweeties on three points: Pace, dollars, and previous condition of servitude. Kitty: “Jack took me out last night.” Kat: “The idea,—and he promised me he would stop getting drunk.” Adelbert (passionately): “The more I look at you dear, the more beautiful you seem.” Adeline (expectantly) : “Yes?” Adelbert (brutally): “I ought to look at you oftener.” She (rapturously) :“I want a strong man! A silent man! A man of grit!” He (disgustedly) “Yeh, you want a deaf and dumb ash man.” “I’d prefer being a chauffeur to being a jock- ey,” says Little Red Riding Hood, “for a jockey only sees the horse’s neck.” Customer: “My! what smells so?” Merchant: “Do you smell it too?” Customer: “Yes, what is it?” Merchant: “Business. It’s rotten.” Our idea of a wet party is four girls at a sad movie with only one handkerchief. One of the things most needed in the present up-to-date home is a motormeter for sofas. A Ford is a car that you push up the hill with your left foot. Were these high trolley car steps designed for business or pleasure? Hubby: “What’s good for my wife’s fallen arches ?” Doc: “Rubber heels.” Hubby: “Rub her heels with what?” My girl’s name is Katherine. She’s one of those two by four girls. Dances ’till two and by four you’re broke. Question number 47389: “What is a Scotch- man ?” Answer number 47389-A: “A man who eats salted peanuts on his way to a friend’s house for a little drink. A. T. H.: “I love Beatrice more than I can tell.” Somebody else: “Neither would I.” 198 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Any girl can be gay in a classy coupe, In a taxi they all can be jolly; But the girl worthwhile is the one who can smile When you’re taking her home in the trolley. We don’t like to knock but a few more forks and spoons would be appreciated in our lunch room. There are carol singers and carol singers. Some sing all of the time, some sing part of the time—and—ah—some don’t sing at all. She: “And now have I made myself plain?” He: “No, God did that!” Wise one from the Blue Laws:— Even if they wiped liquor from the face of the earth, someone would try to buy the priv- ilege of wringing out the sponges. A coupe may be small and inconvenient, but at least no one can drive it from the back seat. “I can’t swim.” “Why?” “I’m not in any water.” A Strong Come Back A lawyer and a doctor were arguing the rel- ative merits of their callings. “I don’t claim that all lawyers are villains,” said the doctor, “but you’ll have to admit that your profession doesn’t make angels of men.” “No,” retorted the lawyer, “you doctors cer- tainly have the best of us there.”—The Outlook. A Perfect Excuse Nurse was bringing little Ella home from a party and took her hand to help her up a high curbstone. “Gracious me, Ella!” she cried, “how sticky your hands are!” “So would yours be,” replied Ella serenely, “if you had two meringues and a chocolate eclair in your muff.”—Witt. T. S. Officer (to two girls): “Walk down stairs without arms and stop talking!” Squirrel News: “It takes about 1,500 nuts to hold an automobile together, but it takes one to scatter it all over the landscape.”—Safety Bulletin.

The Next Step After High School Get as much education as you can, whatever your aspirations may be, because trained minds are needed in professional, public service, technical and business life. In deciding your next step, it may help you to know that a knowledge of business is needed in almost every vocation. Your chief problem is to be sure you are properly equipped for the vocation you will choose. If it is to be business, you can best acquire this equipment through a business training at Burdett College. The courses offered at Burdett College vary in time from one to two years. They are designed for those with college, preparatory and high school training. For applicants with less schooling shorter courses are offered.

Also by custom, this editorial takes the form of a few words of thanks for the work done and energy spent in preparing this annual. Our faculty advisors, Miss Gatchell and Mr. Sprague, we heartily thank for their splendid assistance. To the Waid Studio, of Boston, too much credit cannot he given for their untiring efforts in our behalf. We also extend a vote of gratitude and appreciation to our Typewrit- ing and English Departments. The host of Schoolmates not on the Year Book Staff who have so nobly labored for the good of the book must not he forgotten. From the Senior Committee and Editor to Miss M. J. V., who has rendered valuable time and effort and who is not connected with the school, are extended heartfelt thanks. One and all have labored to make our publication a success. Working in collaboration with the faculty treasurer was Miss Welsh to whom our ardent thanks are due. In closing the entire staff joins in wishing both pupils and faculty a joyous and healthful vacation. F. M. E. 8 MR.

Ramsey MUCH HAS BEEN GIVEN Ours is a noble heritage; fate has dealt with us liberally. We are fortunate in that we are Americans and have been born in a city and state where education is considered of paramount im- portance. Here we stand the result of twelve years of studious effort. The resources of a city and state have been devoted to our advancement; nothing has been spared; no expense considered too great. All this has been done for a purpose—an ideal; namely to assure happiness to each one of us, and to perpetuate liberty and advance civilization. What responsibilities devolve upon us? It is an accepted fact that if a democracy is to survive and flourish those who constitute that democracy must be of at least average intelligence. In order to render our best service our first and most important duty to ourselves and to society is the choice of a proper vocation. Shakespeare, who knew men and life, tells us, “To business that we love we rise betimes and go to ’t with delight.” We must get a position that we like—nay, that we love, or can learn to love, for we must be happy in our chosen professions if we wish to succeed. When one is happy in his vocation, he is usually a leader in his chosen life’s work, because his whole-hearted in- terest is centered in his task. His every working moment is spent in an effort to advance his profession. He gradually acquires a devotion that is so great that lie is willing to sacrifice his all for its advance- ment. How many doctors, heroes each and every one of them, have willingly sacrificed their lives for the advancement of science! Why did those two intrepid French aviators, Nungesser and Coli, will- ingly sacrifice their lives? In order to advance the art of flying. Because they loved their art, they gladly gave their all to serve mankind. Our second duty is to advance our education to the highest possible degree. We may be inclined to assume that education is a universal accomplishment in this country of ours, but such a conclusion is unfortunately erroneous. In America, a nation of about one hundred and ten million people, there are over ten million illiterates. In other words, a little less than one tenth of our total popula- tion cannot read or write. Surely, you will say, in a nation where education is so strongly stressed, such conditions cannot exist, but they do exist, and unfortunately the number of illiterates is increas- ing. In Boston, where culture and education are taken as matters of course, there are over twenty-five thousand illiterates, and this illiteracy is by no means confined to our foreign-born population. Yet these unfortunate individuals are capable of earning their bread; they find it possible to recognize and appreciate beauty and above all are contributing—in their small way—their share to society. Since these people arc capable of such virtues, what then must society expect from us, on whom so much has been lavished that we may be capable of facing the tasks that await us? We can never discharge in full the debt we owe to parents, teachers, city, and state for opening to us the doors of knowledge. As yet, the ante-room only has been entered, but the key to the inner chamber has been thrust into our hands. We have learned to study, and if that advantage is pur- sued, the vast empire of the mind will yield to us its priceless treasures. Some of us will continue our studies in colleges and universities, still better equipping ourselves for life’s exacting tasks and duties. To others this marks the end of formal education and I say to you that if they aspire to real fellowship with cultured men and women they must add to their store of knowledge. Education may be compared to a palace of countless chambers. The architect’s plans of this shining edifice are the free gifts of the world’s scholars to any individual that wants them, but that individual must build with his own hands each spacious room, each broad ascending stairway, and each lofty tower. If the task appals him, he must abandon it and erect a modest cottage on the foundations he has alrcadv laid through twelve years of studious effort. Whatever our aims may be, we must remember that their attainment will depend almost entirely upon the measure of service we render to society. Service has ever been the measure of permanent success and lasting fame, although that fact has only recently won general recognition. Service has always been society’s rate of ex- change. Our ultimate success will not depend upon how large a fortune we may amass, but rather oh how much good we are capable of dispensing. Our education has not been assimilated that we may gain 13 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK wealth; neither can our success be measured in financial terms. We aspire for education so that we may more fully enjoy life and all it has to offer, for education demonstrates the beauty of common- place things. How frequently do we hear of someone who has recently acquired a fortune, aspiring to intimate friendship with cultured men and women. Yet such a person, if he has not also education, rarely if ever succeeds. Kuskin says, “Do you deserve to enter? Pass. Do you ask to be the com- panion of nobles? Make yourself noble and you shall be. Do you long for the conversation of the wise? Learn to understand it and you shall hear it. But on other terms?—no.” Again, the truly educated individual is he who is constructive rather than destructive. I mean by this, that he who is educated in the true sense of the word is willing to contribute to society all that he has—and for the benefit of the majority; he who is willing to be inconvenienced if others will be benefited by his inconvenience. He is a real democrat with true democracy as his creed. In other words, the educated, successful person is he who can go through life deriving the utmost pleasure from his every-day surroundings, and with his neighbor’s welfare his highest ideal. He is willing to do all within his power for the advancement of civilization, and the keeping of peace with his fellow men and God. Furthermore, he must also realize that all purely material things are destined to perish in the crucible of the passing years; that only things of the mind and heart—knowledge, wisdom, and loy- alty—live on. Where are the mighty, far-flung empires of Alexander and the Caesars? Where is the fortune of Croesus and the gold of Midas? Gone; ground to the dust beneath the feet of slow-marching, in- exorable time. Yet the matchless odes of Horace and the epic grandeur of the Iliad and the Odessey still pour their jewelled splendor into the heart of the world. Michael Angelo’s fiery genius still blazes from the dome of St. Peter’s and falls in an endless, radiant flood from the sublime vastness of the frescoed ceiling of the Sistine’s chapel. “Shakespeare, an intellectual ocean whose vast waves touch all the shores of our thought” still supports upon his bosom the stately ships of our golden dreams. The rainbow, symbol of God’s covenant with man, still flashes its promise from the sky. His Holy Word still lives a comfort of the poor and unfortunate, a star of hope, and an inspiration to all the hosts of Christendom. Where, we wonder, were the great captains and generals, the haughty princes and kings that have marched in crimson glory across the pages of history, when the school children of the world recently voted a humbly-born French chemist, Louis Pasteur, the world’s greatest hero? Is the giver of life to be exalted above the destroyer? If so, civilization has really begun for the simple reason that advance in civilization is measured by the world’s progress towards peace, and that one of the most potent factors in this advance is Science. Science is driving out of life that trinity of evils. War, Ignorance, and Superstition. She is enthroning herself in the human mind and at the present moment is hurling her thunderbolts against the already crumbling foundations of blind fear and cruel intolerance, and with magnifying glass, retort, and telescope she bares the hidden secrets of nature and brings man face to face with Truth. Louis Pasteur is the world’s greatest hero because he was an ardent seeker after Truth and, having found it. was eager to devote the results of his discoveries to prolonging life rather than destroying it. So we, too, if we are educated in the highest sense of the word, will find our greatest joy in welcom- ing Truth whosoever brings it to us, wherever it may be found. By such service we can best repay that which has been so generously bestowed upon us. Classmates, we have been society’s dependents for the past twelve years; today we are to become her supporters. No longer are we to experience high-school life with its pleasures; instead, we are going out into the dull, drab world where one is taken only for what one is worth. Society is beck- oning to us. insisting that we assume our duties. Everything depends upon the manner and the spirit in which we meet our responsibilities. We must show that we are capable and that we will hold society’s trust sacred and inviolate. We can do this only by directing our entire energy, both mental and physical, toward the advancement of civilization. Epitomizing my message to you, classmates, I urge you to be honest and upright, to add con- stantlv to the fund of knowledge that is now yours, to be industrious, to take pride in your work, to have faith in yourselves and others and in the right. I congratulate you and wish you godspeed in the great adventure on which you are embarking. May it prove to be all that you have so eagerly visioned it. May high courage and our wondrous dreams keep us all true to our course and bring us safely into the Harbor of Splendid Achievements. 14 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SIDENT VICE PRESIDENT HURD JENNIE GIL EN AIKINS ROBERT THOMAS 15 RADIATOR YEAR Sept. 9.

CLASS CALENDAR —1924— We little folk stole cautiously up past the brand new city hall, entered the school, had a fine time finding the second floor and were at last— Sophomores. Each and all of us were invited to attend a “rough house” party at Dilboy Field in the form of the first football practice. Mr. Pearson announced that a great saving would he made if we purchased our season’s football tickets for a dollar instead of fifty cents at the gate. Noise! The band broke loose. Somerville, laboring under the impression that she had a football team, was nicely trimmed by Lawrence, 20 to 0. We discovered that we had a Players’ Club when for fifteen cents the sacred portals of the hall were opened and we viewed “Farrington’s Suites.” The first English Clubs were formed and we—that is the majority (?) of us—attended. Red letter day! Somerville won her first and only football game of year. Rah! Rah! Hogan! A.M. Thanksgiving football trimming; Rindge 12—Somerville 0. P.M. Ate a meagre dinner. Hang football, anyway! Poetry Club which now has to use the hall, met in Room 201. Having been good for four months, we went home to greet Santa Claus— and to enjoy a week’s vacation. —1925— The Senior Class presented Albert Irving, in “Seven Chances.” Some play! Saw our first corduroy long pants on a member of our own class. Hurray! Seniors and Juniors heard President Coolidge inaugurated, by way of radio in the hall. Knowing Mr. Coolidge’s habit of talking for hours the Sophs decided to go to classes. Spent an enjoyable day fooling the Seniors. Several of our members were politely informed that no Sophs were allowed at Junior Night and then forcefully ejected from the festivities. Class Day, and Sophomore Battalion climaxes the parade by marching last. Thrown out! The teachers needed a vacation. Walked up past terrified Sophomores to the third floor. Juniors at last! Seniors presented an election with George Shaw in the leading role. Nothing but one lost game after another. Hooray! Eddie Bergin and a renovated Somerville team laid Rindge low! Score: Somerville 6, Rindge Nothing! Webster Debaters overcome Medford. The Players’ Club and the school’s musical organizations present the finest play we have ever seen—“Why the Chimes Rang.” —1926— The school deposited SI200 in the school bank. Shades of Ben Franklin were among us. 16 Jan. Feb. 27. 17. RADIATOR YEAR BOOK March March April May June June Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

Christmas came as it has a habit of coming. -1927- Back to school—goody! goody! One month more before the Senior Play and Clarence Elliott Hall Co. started work on elaborate scenery. Senior Play scenery is condemned by several members of the cast. Before-mentioned members of the cast grovel in the dust before Clarence E. Hall who nobly forgave them by stepping on their necks. Whole school had their chance to see C. E. H.’s scenery and “Dot” Watkins. Someone noticed Nick King with a red necktie in the play. Someone wore a red tie to school. Everyone wore a red tie to school. Several Sophomores noted without neckties. Several Seniors noted with new red neckties. Senior boys publicly thanked the lower classmen for honoring our class colors. We let the Juniors show us their Radiator Issue. Not so bad at all, quite changed our opinion of them. Elmer Birdsall led an excellent Orchestra Concert and we all danced afterward. Seniors enjoyed themselves at Junior Night. Class Day.

Proldkoot The winds blew softly and the air was clear; The sun sent yellow rays of gleaming light Straight through the windows of the little house Which seemed to wear a happy air as did the world, For there inside a little child was born. A child of truth and innocence, not spoiled As yet, by sin, but pure and sweet. He lay Amid his pillows, while kindly ones stood ’round And gazed with happy glances at the babe. For ’twas his Christening Day, a happy day, A day of promise for a noble life, Yet, who could tell what fate had in store for him? The child grew fast in body and in mind As every child the wide world o’er. He was a winsome child; well loved by all; A happy child with laughter on his lips, With sparkling eyes which missed not anything, With sturdy strength within his childish frame. Fast through the years he played and learned Until he reached the highest grade of school. And so, at last, arrived the final day, Which meant for him a change of work. And now A large, gray building looms. Behind its walls A gay and happy throng were gathered there In farewell greeting to this happy Youth Who was so soon to start out on his quest. His quest in life for honor and success. A host of white robed figures on one side, A host of girls who faced sweet womanhood With clear, grave eyes, but laughter in their hearts. A crowd of dark clad boys across the aisle. Half filled the spacious hall. And looking on. The mothers and the fathers and the kin Of all the youth sat there and watched the scene. Impressive, simple, yet behind it all Great hopes were centered, great desires swelled, To be fulfilled in future life by those Who turned their gay. young faces toward the open door. The Youth looked ’round, and as he saw the crowd His thoughts turned backward o’er the last few years. With deep regret he thought of how he‘d failed In certain studies, wasted time, and yet His Alma Mater dear had taken him And taught him lessons found not in his books; Ideals of manhood, honor, truth, and, too. She taught him progress, and her faith in him Was firm. Accepted she his work, although He was not perfect; and she wished for him Good health and strength and conquest over self In time of need. His Alma Mater, then, As pledge of her firm faith, a token of Completed work, gave to him. It was A sacred bond between himself and her His Foster Mother. With this bond of faith He graduated from his second home. And now he faced the world half eager, half Reluctant, dimly sensing that the road Was full of obstacles, yet in his heart Desires to serve the world flamed up and up And he went out, a vision in his eyes. With singing heart and rising hopes the Youth Began his college days. His aim was high The thought of her. his Alma Mater, kept Him steadfast in his purpose to do right. But still, the way of learning was so hard. The path of pleasure called so much to him. That fainter and still fainter rang the voice Until no more it sounded in his ears; And he went on the pleasant way of youth. One day. however, in the midst of joy There came to trouble him this thought: What would his Alma Mater think? Would she Wish him to give up all for pleasure? She’d always taught him progress. Was he now Advancing as she would wish him to? Once more he turned to work, and high endeavor Much he learned and gained, until a second time He graduated; turned his face unto fresh fields. And now the world of business called to him. He knocked and entered, with a burning zeal. With keen desires to do his work with all 13 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK The strength, ability, which he possessed. Yet though he tried to keep his aim As high as ever, little things began To force themselves before his sight; and thus They blurred his vision, lured him on. Sweet pleasure begged him come and play; and though He did not heed at first, he yielded to Its wiles, at last, and worked the least he could. To get his salary was his only thought. He quieted his conscience saying thus, “The others all get by, so why can't 1? - His love of pleasure and material things Were dragging from his lofty height the Youth Who seemed not to be mindful of the fact. But one spring day as idly there he watched— It was his custom now to dream away A part of office hours when e’er he could— He saw a group of school boys walking past. Their clear, young voices floated up to him; They talked of sports; and this reminded him Of something he had learned in high school days, A poem well known and liked among his mates. Its message came to him across the years— “This is the word that year by year, While in her place the school is set. Every one of her sons must hear, And none that hears it dare forget. This they all with a joyful mind Bear through life like a torch in flame. And falling fling to the host behind— Play up, play up, and play the game!” He sat there long by the window, till he Resolved anew to play the game highly. His zeal and vigor fresh he tried This time to make his Alma Mater proud Of him. His way was hard, much harder since He’d whiled away for petty things his first Few years; but he struggled on and conquered much. Time swiftly passed; and more and more he gave His life for others. Men respected him At first, and later came to love him too. Then came a day, when they begged of him A greater boon than they had ever asked— To leave his home, and leave his work, to serve Them in the nation’s capitol. But he Refused to aid them in brief curt words. He knew if he should try to represent The people of his district it would mean Long hours of speaking in such places which He would not of himself have chosen, And money spent perhaps without avail. Yet he was really one to represent Them for he knew and loved them well. At last he yielded through a force which came From school days now long past. He heard His Alma Mater’s voice repeating, “Is It honor that you wish? Then serve!” These were The words she whispered softly. He obeyed; And accepted the trust the people gave. The years passed on, swift, silent, in their flight. The Youth was ripest Manhood now. “He was Successful,” so his fellow beings said. He held respect because his aim was high. He was not poor and yet he was not rich. But he was honest and he loved the truth. His way was full of stumbling blocks, hut still, He overcame them with determination. And once again his character was tried.— There came a thousand miles away from him An earthquake leaving in its wake ruins So vast and misery so great that all The country grieved and rushed relief to them. Tin noblest hearts were moved and signed large checks “To do their little bit,” they said. But when They asked the Man, oddly enough, he turned Away. “None there are dear to me,” he said. But strangely, too. he thought continually Of that disaster. Yet ceaselessly he turned Away the thought. A little while went by. Then finally, he drew' his check hook out. “Dear Alma Mater, you once taught to me Such lessons which I can’t forget. You’ve kept Me straight; you help me now because of faith. Forever, help me. Mother dear,” he said. And with a smile he gave his “little hit.” Thus did his life move on. The future years Stood ready with their new exacting tasks. No one could tell just what the beckoning days Would bring to him. But he had courage, and His purpose still was strong within his heart. He might fail; but he would conquer, too. So with the past to aid him. bravely He looked into the future without fear. 19 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK CLASS HISTORY The class of 1927 began its career at the Somerville High School, in September, 1924. As soon as the class became sufficiently organized there was an election of class officers. The result of the election was: President, John McLaughlin; Vice-President, Jennie Gilbert; Secretary, Helen Aikins; Treasurer, Robert Thomas. The beginning of the Sophomore year was not auspiciously brilliant owing to the fact that the class coming from three Junior Highs found it hard to become assimilated in the work of the school. However, through the work of the class officers and the aid of the faculty, by the time the first half of the year was reached the class showed that they had become really a part of the school and co- operated with the other classes whole-heartedly. The Sophomores showed their class spirit by their immediate response to the call for class dues and wrere equally ready to support the many drives that were then being conducted by the Students’ Council. The Sophomore dance was a very successful and enjoyable affair, and the class ended its first year justly proud of its achievements during 1924-1925. The class returned in September, 1925, with the determination to make the Junior year as profitable and enjoyable as possible. The first event worthy of mention was the election of Junior class officers. The ballots showed that William Talbot was elected Presi- dent, Helen Clements, Vice-President; Helen Aikins, Secretary; Robert Thomas, Treasurer, A Junior night with Joseph Corish, Richard Finn and Jennie Gilbert in charge, proved to be both financially and socially successful. In Athletics the Junior class played an im- partant part, Edward Bergen, a junior, was elected to the all-scholastic team by newspaper writers. The Junior Class also showed their desire to aid in the school activities by the way in which they took part in the Thrift Campaign and the Thrift Pageant. The class of ’27 ended their Junior year with the resolution that they would return as the best Senior Class ever to be at Somerville High School. In the fall of 1926 the class of 1927, now the upper class of the school, returned ready for the work and responsibility of a senior class. The class election resulted in Donald Hurd being elected President; Jennie Gilbert, Vice-President; Helen Aikins, Secretary; and Robert Thomas, Treasurer. The Senior Class dues reached one hundred percent mark after campaign of two weeks. The class of ’27 may justly be proud of their excellent Senior Play. The other two classes helped us greatly with their attendance and the Senior Play Committee, the cast, and Miss Bell, as coach deserve the heartiest congratulations for their admirable work. Now our Senior year has come to a close. We have endeavored to the best of our ability to hold high the standards of the Somerville High School. In the past three years we feel that we have learned much and gained much along the lines of scholarship, leadership and character. To the faculty we wish to extend our appreciation for their patience and untiring efforts in our behalf. To the class of ’28 and ’29 we extend the hope that they will spend as enjoyable and as instructive years at the Somerville High School as did the class of 1927. Donald P.

(Chorus) 97 a' Iu ■ 3F RUTH HODGES TREASURER LAWRENCE WILLIAMS SECRETARY ESTELLE KEANY GEORGE 98 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY After a year of earnest preparedness as Sophomores, we began our Junior year in September 1926 with greater confidence in ourselves. We now feel that our conceptions of school life have changed to a more serious nature; that our class spirit has been cultivated and raised to a higher standard; and that we individually have made every effort to work in harmony with the great interests of the class and the school. Our officers have been: Lawrence Williams, President; Ruth Hodges, Vice-President; Estelle Keaney, Secretary; George Goodwin, Treasurer. Members of the Junior Class have been active in many of the school organizations. A group of Junior girls carried off a first prize in a calisthenic contest. A Junior hoy was a member of the winning team in a prize debating contest. The Juniors have been prominent in scholarship; one Junior was awarded second prize by the Radiator for her essay. On Junior Night, May 20, the class presented a very successful and enjoyable enter- tainment. The Class of ‘28 has adapted itself to the high standard that the Somerville High School maintains, and has taken an active interest in all that tends to develop character. May the Class of ‘28 in the year to come carry on its splendid work, is the sincere wish of the officers. Lawrence Williams, President of Junior Class of '28. 99 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK Dorothy Gordon, Herbert Falgren, Chairman, Olive MacPherson JUNIOR NIGHT The Junior Night of the class of 1928 was a successful event. It was held Friday evening, May 20. The play “The Pot Boilers” received praise from all. The cast consisted of Norman Watts, Joseph Blumsack, Muriel Hight, Margaret Carmosino, Eben Backstrom, Erwin Moran and William Casey. The Petit Pierrot orchestra which followed was a work of art. The Pierrots were Eben Backstrom, Harry Levenson, Nelson Thomas, Herman Lieher, and Harold Anderson. The Pierrettes were Harold Ceder, Harold Pierce, Richard Copper, Olive MacPherson and Wilbur Copithorne. They were led by Henry Levenson. The group entertained with ensemble. Banjo solo by Ceder, Saxophone solo by Cooper, and a dance by the Pierrette dancer, Mary Delaney. Their voices and those of Lawrence Williams and Herbert Falgren harmonized in song. Great credit was due Miss Bell who coached the play, and Miss Bradford, who supervised the stage settings and the hall decorations, which were in the class colors, purple and white. Wilbur Raymond, stage manager, Leslie John- son, assistant, and Richard Locke, who worked on lights, were very helpful. At the close of the entertainment refreshments were served and dancing followed. The music was furnished very creditably by the Dixie Troubadours. The committee in charge, Dorothy Gordon, Olive MacPherson, and Herbert Falgren, worked very hard and were well pleased with the result. 100 — SOPHOMORE VICE PRESIDENT DOROTHY WEST TREASURER WO IS WILLIAM INGALLS 101 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the early part of September the class of 1929 entered upon what has proved to be a very successful and pleasurable year. After the officers (President, John J. Hayes; Vice- President, Dorothy West; Secretary, Anne Co e; and Treasurer, William Ingalls) were duly elected, we held our first class meeting on March twenty-fourth, at which time each officer said a few words and the matter of dues was established. We feel that as a class we have lived up to the ideals of our predecessors. Many sopho- more names have appeared on the credit list and even some on the maximum credit. We have contributed our full quota to athletics being represented in football, baseball and track. In the various activities of the school, such as the Dramatic Club, Debating Society, the band, and the orchestra we have been represented, and the sophomores on the traffic squad have proved their worth. Our one social event of the year, the sophomore dance, was held and was extremely enjoyed by those in attendance. We are in numbers the largest class in the school, and wre feel that as the time goes on we shall continue our auspicious beginning and finish a career in the Somerville High School of which we may well be proud. John J. Hayes, President of the Class of 1929. 102 ORGANIZATIONS 103 STUDENTS’ COUNCIL 1926-27 First row—Left to right:—Herbert Karr, Gilbert Jones, Jennie Gilbert, Donald Hurd, Helen Aikins, Robert Thomas, John Ramsey.

RADIATOR YEAR BOOK RADIATOR YEAR BOOK STUDENTS’ COUNCIL The credit for the great success of the Students’ Council this year may well he given to the faculty members and the student body. Throughout the entire year the Council has re- ceived that sincere cooperation which is necessary to carry out any of its undertakings. The sophomore officers did not become members of the council until March. By an amendment to the constitution “that the head of the Traffic Squad be a member of the stu- dents’ Council,” the membership was increased to twenty-one. The Council now consists of four officers of each class, six floor proctors (one elected from each floor), the head of the Traffic Squad, and two faculty advisors, Miss Browne and Mr. Sears. The officers of this year’s Council are as follows: Donald Hurd, President; Lawrence Williams, Vice-President; Helen Aikins, Secretary; Robert Thomas, Treasurer. The most important achievement of the Students’ Council for this year is the abolish- ing of smoking on the school grounds. Disagreeable as the subject was, the Council was able to put an end to the situation with very little trouble. Appealing directly to the offend- ers, they received admirable results. As soon as the sophomore class was organized an assembly was held for both the sopho- mores and juniors to explain the purposes and principles of the Students’ Council. The cooperation which the Council had previously received was greatly increased. As usual a committee was appointed by the Council to take charge of the Lost and Found Department. To the success of this the students themselves can testify. Although the yearly Red Cross Drive was carried on under unfavorable circumstances, the results were remarkable. Credit may be given to the efficient committee. During the later part of the year a week was set aside for Clean-Up Week. Posters were circulated throughout the entire building. These attempted to arouse the interest of the pupils in the appearance of their school. Notices also were placed on the bulletin during that week. Other business which was brought to the notice of the Students’ Council during the year was: Improvement of the drinking fountains, cleaning of windows, more hooks in the dressing rooms, f ront door open on rainy days, the necessary barrels on the school campus, and reporter for the Radiator for special events of the school. 105 Helen Aikins, Secretary.

RADIATOR YEAR BOOK i TRAFFIC SQUAD The Traffic Squad has been continuing its duty, for the betterment of the school. The governing body is different from that of last year, consisting now of the president, the secretary, the building supervisor, and the six floor supervisors. At the monthly meetings topics pertaining to the betterment of the squad have been discussed. Each floor supervisor has been striving to have his section better than it ever has been, and the results have proved very satisfactory. The supervisors and floor secretaries have helped to systematize and keep the Squad in good working order. Much credit is due to the members of the Traffic Squad for their help and faithful work during the year. The Squadsmen in the corridors have made it possible for students to move from one class room to another quickly and quietly. The Traffic Squad also served efficiently at the Christmas Play, the Senior Play, the Symphony Concert and the different assemblies. The Building Patrol, under the supervision of Rafford Faulkner, conducts all visitors to their destination. They also patrol the building and test all the doors. Each year the Traffic Squad has received the co-operation of the student body. This year has been no exception, and we hope that next year the pupils of the Somerville High School will continue to aid and respect this organization.

ANTHOLOGY OF SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL POETRY A group of girls of the Senior Class in Room 110—Barbara Green, Mae Newell, Stella Haggerty, Louise Hartshorne, Chairman, have been for the last six weeks hard at work on an Anthology of Poetry of the Somerville High School which later is to he placed in the High School Library. The collection, beginning with the year 1924 and extending through June, 1927, con- sists of poems written by High School students whose poems have appeared in the school paper, The Radiator, and by those members of the Poetry Club whose poems were read at the monthly meetings of the Club. Various types of poetry are represented: lyric, sonnet, blank verse, free verse; the favorite form being the simple lyric. Some of the poems have been accepted by The Gleam, the magazine of verse of the School and Poetry Association, a national organization. As a whole over fifty young people are represented in this collec- tion and it is the thought of the committee and those especially interested in the Anthology, that the list will increase from year to year. With that in mind, the poems have been typed on loose-leaf paper and placed in adjustable covers. The members ol the committee have given their time most generously and have worked with whole-hearted enthusiasm as they look upon it as their personal gift to the school.

GIRLS’ DEBATING SOCIETY During the year the regular meetings of the Girls’ Debating Society have been held on Tuesdays once in two weeks and have been presided over by Martha Howard, President. Interesting discussions have been held at the meetings, and one interscholastic debate has taken place with the Usona Society of Malden High School, the question being: “Re- solved, that the proposed 20th amendment should be ratified.” The team representing Som- erville consisted of Eunice Lanigan, Margaret Lacey, Queene Pambookjian, and Natalie Rich, alternate. The decision was two to one for Malden. Try-outs for another team have been held and have resulted in the choice of Marion McCarthy, Margaret Lacey, Eunice Lanigan, and Anna Cronin, alternate. The society has been in charge of the following: Martha Howard ’27, President; Queene Pambookjian ’27, Vice-President; Frances Avanzino ’28, Secretary-Treasurer; Miss Rena Hezelton, faculty. Officers for the coming year have been elected, and it is hoped that the society will be more successful and that its good work will be carried on. Frances Avanzino, Secretary. 112 - —« RADIATOR YEAR BOOK BOYS’ DEBATING SOCIETY The Somerville High School Boys’ Debating Society, one of the oldest organizations in the school, has had an active year. At the first meeting Joseph R. Corish, who has been president for three years, was unanimously re-elected, Lawrence Capodilupo was elected Vice-President, Richard C. Finn, Secretary, and William Sullivan, Treasurer. Frank Elwell, John Hayes, and Maurice Duchin comprise the Executive Committee. In the past the club had the pleasure of listening to a talk by William Kelley, unde- feated Captain of Boston University’s inter-collegiate championship team, who visited us. Kelley was at one time president of this society. Many inter-class, and practice debates have been held during the year. The first public debate took place Monday afternoon, May 23, when the Boys’ Society debated the Girls’ Society. The Boys’ Society was represented by John J. Hayes, President of the Class of ’29, Amedee Boudreau, and Joseph Corish, winning speaker in the Prize Debate. Dancing followed the debate, the music being furnished by the Peptonians. Our biggest problem has been one of re-organizing and we feel we have succeeded, if next year’s group carry on. 113 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK First row:—Lewis Tuttle, Joseph Corish, Arnold Finley.

WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY When in September a society has taken a group of fellows, some of them stage-shy, most of them inexperienced in the art of self-expression, and has moulded them, by weekly practice, into a group of thirty fellows who have a working knowledge of parliamentary procedure, who can stand on their feet and express themselves, who can reason out ques- tions for themselves and then convince others of their opinions, that society may well reflect with pride upon its past year. Such a society is the Webster Debating Society. In September we elected as officers: Arnold D. Finley, President; Joseph Blumsack, Vice-President; Lewis Tuttle, Secretary; Peter Bertocci, Treasurer. In November in the evening we held an open meeting which was well attended. In Febru- ary we held our Prize Debate at which there were about nine hundred guests present. The debate was most interesting and the evening was a very successful one. Now we are bringing the year to a close and are placing the destiny of the society in very competent hands for the coming year. We are sure that those hands will lift it on to greater success and bigger service in the years to come. Ill Arnold D. Finley, President. RADIATOR YEAR BOOK First row: Frances Hammond.

The officers are: President — Edna Elder; Vice-President — Ellen Brennan; Secretary — Anne Garrity; Treasurer — Margaret Fitzgerald. The object of this club is to promote a love of the language, a knowledge of Spain and its customs, and to create a bond of friendship between teachers and pupils.

RADIATOR YEAR BOOK SENIOR PLAY In keeping with the annual custom of having a play with a cast composed entirely of members of the senior class, the Class of 1927, on the evening of February 18, presented “A Full House.” The play title bespeaks the audience which crammed every nook and corner and shook the building with laughter. Financially also the performance was a “howling success.” With an intricate, hilariously funny plot, and a well-coached cast that accomplished some marvelous acting, success was the only possible result. The cast was as follows: Parkes......... Susie.......... Ottily Howell. . . Miss Winnecker. Dauphne Charters Nicholas King. . Ned Pembroke. . . George Howell. . Dougherty ..... Kearney........ Monney......... Mrs. Fleming. . . Vera Vernon. . . .

Credit is also due to Elliot Hall, stage manager, Richard Cox, assistant manager, Tyler Parkhurst, scenic artist, and Richard Obear, electrician. Their scenery and lighting effects could contest with the best professional efforts. Never has the Senior Play had such a faithful and capable committee. Richard Finn, chairman, Betty Hunt, and Lillian Elliot overcame stupendous tasks of preparation and to them, as well as to the cast, coach and the stage hands, is due the credit of that unfor- gettable event of our High School lives. 118 RADIATOR YEAR Making the Scenery RADIATOR YEAR BOOK Senior Play RADIATOR YEAR BOOK FIRST ORCHESTRA First row:—Samuel Lebovich, Cornelia Spencer, Mary Pineo, Olive MacPherson.

The corps drilled outside as long as the weather permitted and then re- tired indoors to learn new selections. The membership was twenty-four, consisting of six drums and eighteen fifes. Many of the members were juniors and sophomores. The fife and drum corps has played twice in public, on April 19th in Lexington, and on Class Day. The corps has progressed more rapidly than in previous years and the success of the year may be attributed to the excellent cooperation of the boys and the expert in- struction of Mr. Maynard. 127 Edward F.

Bell. The club began its work under the guidance of the following officers: President, Wilbur Irving; Vice- PresidentJennie Gilbert; Secretary, Blanche Baptista; Treasurer, Sheldon Christian. Later, Evelyn Robinson was elected Corresponding Secretary. After tryouts had taken place and about thirty-five new members had been admitted to the club, our first theatre party was held on November 11, at the Repertory Theatre, to see “Arms and the Man.” Through the kindness of Mr. Sturtevant, manager of the theatre, the club members were invited backstage. On Friday, December 10, Professor Gilmer, of Tufts College, gave an illustrated lecture on “The Stage in Europe.” On that same afternoon. Miss “Peg” Entwhistle, star of the play “Tommy,” and Mrs. Frank Chouteau Brown were guests of the club. On the kind invitation of Professor Gilmer, the club has enjoyed many plays at Tufts College. Our Christmas play, “Fiat Lux” (Let There Be Light), was presented during school hours and again in the evening on December 21 for the general public. The play was a great success through the diligent work of Miss Bell and the cast. On Wednesday, January 26, a few Players’ Club members enjoyed a lecture in Reper- tory Hall. The Players’ Club has accepted many invitations to see dramas in other schools, one of them being at Harvard College. We were fortunate enough to be shown through the entire Widener Stage Library at Harvard. The “Teachers’ Jollification” took place on Feb. 9, and was voted a great success by both teachers and pupils. At the close of this year the club wishes to thank all teachers and students alike who have helped in furthering the work of the Players’ Club. Especially do we wish to thank Miss Bell, our dramatic advisor and coach, whose unceasing work and understanding has made her an inspiration to all. May the future years of the Players’ Club be filled with success and happiness! And may the future members of our club hold high the standard which we have striven to maintain. 129 Blanch e Baptista, Secretary. RADIATOR YEAR BOOK First rote:—Rosamond Kenney. Donald Hurd.

The purpose of this organization is to create interest in General Science and make the science courses attractive in school. At the meeting officers were elected and plans for the year were discussed. Horace Seaman was elected president and Kermit Marsh secretary. Next year the Club will resume its activities and hopes to enlarge its membership. Many special features have been planned for the coming year. The Club wishes to express its gratitude to the Science department for its co-operation and to Mr. DeCelles, the advisor, who has been helpful.

TENNIS TEAM Regardless of the fact that there is not one serviceable tennis court in the city, and though we have no coach or faculty advisor, the members of the Somerville High Tennis Team feel confident of having had a very successful season. Matches have been arranged with some of the strongest High and Prep school teams in the eastern part of the state, and the team has been considered formidable enough to he put on the schedule of the Harvard University Junior Class team. The team is captained and managed by Joseph Corish, who was runner up for the silver cup in the Cambridge City Tournament last year. Myron Fisher has shown good form in practice and together with Jason Nourse of last year’s team expects to make trouble for opponents. Harris King, a sophomore, is very aggressive and is trying hard to gain position as second man. Curtice Townsend, a very steady singles player, will continue as doubles partner with Corish. Last year they won both their meets. Cambridge Latin is our greatest rival. Last year, although Corish defeated their first man in a thrilling three-hour match and though Townsend and Corish in doubles easily beat their doubles team, Cambridge nosed us out 3 to 2. This year we look forward to turning the tables in our objective match on June 4. 137 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK First rote:- Marion Tucker, Grace Edgerley, Elizabeth Sloine. Sylvia Brown. Frances Avanzino.

GIRLS’ SWIMMING TEAM During the past year there has been one sport for girls that, contrary to the others, has been “all wet”—swimming. Classes have heen held on Wednesdays at the “Y” pool, and under the coaching of Miss Hubbard and her assistant. Miss Cassidy, the girls soon formed a peppy team. The strokes upon which they were coached mostly were the Australian crawl, the Old English back, and the side stroke. The plunge attracts the long-winded people and amuses the rest. Then of course there is the diving! This affords a great deal of pleasure, to those participating as well as to those who watch. There were some very good divers among the girls and some that weren’t so good but were good sports, and that’s what counts. An individual meet was held one afternoon at which Mr. Avery and Mr. Clark and other important personages were present. The winners were decided by the number of points obtained during the events. The winners were: 1st. Sylvia Brown 2nd. Ruth Kinipton 3rd. Helen Strehlis A large shield was presented to the winner, and letters were awarded to the others. 138 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK GIRLS’ BASKETBALL First row:—Elizabeth Sloane, Alice Hurley, Marion Tucker, Grace Beattie, Helen Strchlis, Caroline Tucker, Frances Croy, Grace Brattin, Arline Drake, kneeling Elma Jones.

GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year has been one of the most successful in the history of the Girls’ Athletic Association. The work has been in charge of the following: Helen Strehlis '27, president; Priscilla Lowell ’29, vice-president; Helen Chiesa ’28, secretary; Frances Avanzino ’28, corresponding secretary. Field hockey, swimming, hiking, and basketball were open to the girls of the high school. In the fall field-hockey practise was faithfully carried on. All the classes were well represented and many class games took place between seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Swimming on Wednesday at the Y. M. C. A. pool began in November with a large number coming out for it. Much progress has been made in individual swimming and div- ing. With earnest efforts the girls have developed into a well balanced team. An individual swimming meet was held January the 12th, Sylvia Brown 28 won first place in the meet, scoring the highest number of points, with Ruth Kimpton ’27 and Helen Strehlis ’27 winning 2nd and 3rd places respectively. The Athletic Association closed the year with a tea held in Boston where the letters and numerals were awarded by Mr. Ireland. For the first time in the history of the school a pin was awarded to the best girl athlete and scholar, Helen Strehlis. Frances Avanzino ’28. 139 RADIATOR YEAR GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY TEAM First row:—Dorothy Murphy, Caroline Tucker.

VOLUME 1. NUMBER 1. PRICE .0013 RUBLES EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! Helen Strehlis, S. H. S. Athlete, Swims Around the World Somerville Man Fools Anarchists! (Special despatch to La Cravate Rouge) Indy City. Utah.—The ar- rival here today in a wheel- barrow. pushed by a tall gaunt youth, of three heavily bearded, dusky-faced men bound hand and foot caused considerable excitement among the vil- lagers. The vehicle came to a stop in front of the town jail and its occupants were none too gently hustled inside. After the chief magistrate had recovered sufficiently from his surprise, he asked the meaning of all the commotion. The tall youth, who gave his name as Charles Ransom of Somerville. Mass., identified his passengers as Virgilio Aiellski. Charles Finnski anti Bobis Cardiski. alleged ringleaders of a band of Russian Re- deemers” who have been oper- ating in this country for sev- eral months despite the efforts of secret service agents to lo- cate them. According to young Ransom he was looking for lodgings in a downtown section of the city and had just knocked at the door of what he thought to be a boarding house. It happened that Ransom at the time was wearing a flamboy- ant red necktie that he had worn at the High School Class Day many years be- fore. The door was suddenly opened by a stout little man whose visage was concealed be- hind half a century's growth of gnarled whiskers. At the sight of the red necktie he became very much excited, shouted the one word “bumskil” passed several mysterious signs and then took Ransom by the hand like a long lost brother and ushered him inside. In the days that followed Ransom learned of their plot to overthrow the government and resolved to foil their at- tempt if possible. The chance came one day when the three ringleaders were engaged in earnest con- versation with their heads close together. He slipped up juietly. grabbed their whis- kers firmly, and tied them to- gether so that they could not move without danger of pull- ing their chins off. Then he quickly tied their hands and feet, deposited them in a wheelbarrow that happened to Ik standing nearby, and hustled them off to the county jail. Speed Record Broken Elliott Hall, according to dispatches received by the Associated Press from Reno. Nevada, broke the speed rec- ord by marrying thirty min- ute after the court declared him free from his previous marriage. According to the reporter, Mr. Hall would say nothing of his marriage, ex- cept that he had been educated at Somerville High School. Declines Presidential Nomination Mr. Richard Obear today declined the presidential nomi- nation by the Republican party for presidency. His only words concerning his de- clining the offer were that he had other outside business that he could not leave. This is the first time such an honor has been conferred upon a man so young, and it is thought this is one of the reasons Mr. Obear declined to accept the nomination. Interesting Lecture in Physics Professor Hanlon, in a lec- ture to a class of sophomores on How Abstinence from the i-tudy of Physics by the Se- niors Benefits the School, stated that a certain line con- tinued to infinity. One of the Professor s bright charges in- quired where infinity was. Professor Hanlon was stuck, but one of his colleagues. Pro- fessor Bradbury, came to the rescue with the interesting in- formation that infinity was a suburb of Boston located be- tween Revere and Chelsea. Funeral at 2 P.M. Rela- tives and friends invited. Helen Strehlis has success- fully performed the daring feat of swimming around the world. It will be remembered with pride bv her old S. H. S. classmates that she has ful- filled her old boast. Miss Strehlis' first words on landing in California were: So this is California! Well, here we are! Please, tic my shoe. Miss Strehlis recommends the Why Swim When You Can Walk” Shoes that she used during the long swim. For the benefit of our readers who have not heard of this new invention, we mention that they are ordinary canvas backed shoes with ivory soap concealed in the soles. The great danger is that the soap may be reduced to nothing. Miss Strehlis solved this prob- lem by having a rubber cake made with Ivory Soap printed on it. Quite satisfactory, she says. Miss Strehlis describes her experiences: Oh, my. y'a-a-s. it was a long swim and I had trouble with the map and sharks. You see. the map got wet and I was lost. Fortunately I re- membered about the moss on trees so I took my kit from my side where it was strapped and using my telescope I sighted trees in the distance and got my bearing that way. As to the sharks. 1 succeeded in persuading them that it would mean good business in the future if they let me go undevoured. Oh. yes. it was worth the $2,000,000 dare I did it on. Miss Strehlis wishes to thank her loyal supporters whose cheering she heard over her little radio set in the midst of the Ten Thousand Islands. Professor Hurd Attributes His Success to Early High School Training Professor Hurd, head of the Aviation Department of the Somerville High School, con- sented to an interview late today. He stated that he had intended to make the first trans-Atlantic flight, but owing to an important Lotto match he was detained and Lindbergh got a head start. Mr. Hurd attributes his great success to the experience he got during the Sophomore and Junior Assemblies, when he spent his time throwing folded pro- grammes from the first balcony to the stage. Orchestra Concert Gala Event in S. H. S. Hall The Gilman Square Phil- I harmonic Orchestra, under the j direction of Elmer Birdsall. gave its annual concert last evening in Clayton Ellis Hall. The programme was arranged by George Kelly and was ex- ceptionally fine. One of the leading features of the evening was a duet by Thomas Crock- ett and Howard Hallion, two of New England's leading mu- sicians, who played beauti- fully on their shoe-horns. The world famous harmonica quar- tette, formerly of Room 111, also rendered a few selections. The biggest event of the eve- ning. however, was the ap- pearance of the nationally known Jim Bickford in his famous characterization, Cas- sius. the Hypochond. iac. Re freshinents were on sale in the lunch room. Aviator Bradbury recently dropped in to Somerville on his round-the-world flight to announce that the natives in the Philippines were quite civilized as he had just over- heard an argument between a husband and wife. He said there were so many broken dishes that he got homesick and thought he'd drop in for a while. 154 Page 2 RADIATOR YEAR LA CRAVATE ROUGE-JUNE. 1950 EDITORIALS An Announcement Y© Editors of this weekly, which is published every day. wish to announce a discon- tinuing of our discontinu- ance policy. It had been our effort to suspend publication permanently every other month, but the decrease of subscribers has made it necessary to issue an extra edition on odd Wednesdays. Owing to an in- crease of material and news items that take place annually on the twenty-ninth of Feb- ruary, we feel called upon to state that we must absotively and posolutely. permanently discontinue our publication. In taking this step we are consid ©ring seriously the public weal, and after vain and useless de- liberation on the matter, the unanimous decision of one tenth of Ye Editors is that all this country needs is a good five cent cigar. The discon- tinuance of this paper will be- gin with our next issue and probably continue uninter- rupted through each succeed- ing issue for about six months. It is of course important for you, as an intelligent public, to support loyally our rivals and adversaries. We cannot hope to exist if you subscribe to our paper because of the compliments of those publish- ing papers in opposition to ours, and please don't ask for subscription renewal blanks because we are too poor to have them printed. A Benefactor of Humanity We are proud to introduce to our readers one who as a member of Ye Editors Club and a famous scientist has contributed much to the realms of Silence. Doctor Robert Card, who rarely, yet too often, writes articles for this puper, has discovered a for- mula that will instantly silence any woman and hold her speechless and spellbound. She will be unable to argue or talk or disturb the reading of the newspaper, and any man who knows this secret will live a happy, peaceful life. Such a marvelous and practical in- vention has never before been found. If you desire to pos- sess this remarkable formula send us your name and ad- dress with ten cents in coin (no stamps) and by return mail we will forward it to you. Elwcll, the Necktie King For the first time in his life, Mr. Frank El well has con- sented to tell the world of his success in the necktie line. Mr. El well says, with his thumbs in his vest, (Ed. note: The vest wasn't there but little Frankie thought so, so all right.) “You remember back in the days of '27 we used to wear some pretty red neckties. I'm not talking about their quality but their color; you know what I mean, color. And what was that color f Red—red— red. Today, the color red has revolutionized the world. There, in our old schoolhouse, I caught my inspiration. I re- solved then and there, come what may. 1 would give the outside world the chance to enjoy the honor, the distinc- tion, the pride that comes with the wearing of a red necktie. I well remember my first day in the necktie business. I had opened a small shop on Wash- ington Street and in every space was placed a red neck- tie. Those neckties went like hot cakes, people fell upon my neck and wept because I had no more. I well remem- ber. one man sawed the roof through and fell on the floor, fracturing one rib. snapping short one eyelash and sustain- ing a permanent injury to his beautiful classic nose, all through the longing for a rod necktie. 1 made a present of a necktie to that hero but he died Ik-fore he had a chance to wear it. llooHool Notes About Town Latest bulletins from the Somerville Hospital state that 1-Yank Carroll is recovering rapidly from injuries sustained in his recent airplane accident. It seems that while returning from a sorority «lance the other night, Carroll was un- able to negotiate the turn at City Hall tower after Officer Farr had signalled him to come ahead. His plane crashed into the clock ami fell to the ground. A doctor was sum- moned and after a brief ex- amination of the two occu- pants. he stated that the lady was not seriously injured, but Mr. Carroll was suffering from fallen arches. Mr. Car- roll late today stated that In- expected imine«liately after his recovery to take the special I . G. course in one arm fly- ing that is being offered by Professor of Aviation Hurd at Somerville High School. We understand that “Uncle Joo Corish, the well known legislator, will appear at the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen in overalls and rub- ber boots, in an endeavor to convince his colleagues that he is not conceited. Sports of the Day The colossal stadium was a mass of seething humanity, outside a great crowd was clamoring for admission; spec- ulators were receiving fabu- lous prices for their tickets. It was the «lay of the big interscholastic championship. The stands were a colorful mass of femininity. (An air- plane was «Iropping some samples.) All eyes were fixed on the center of the stadium. All opera glasses and binocu- lars were trained there. It was a magnificent sight to see the rivals enter into such manly sport. The game was on. The scoreboar«l showed the players' every move, and the contents of each trick taken. Somerville seemed in a fair way to win the championship with Cap- tain Burgan bidding seven no CAPITOL: Wilbur Irving, the hand- some blonde, in his latest howling success, I'm Great Friends with the Milkman Because We Both Come Home Together.

The theatre derives its name from the facts that seats are built for two insteail of one. After deep thought. Dick Finn, the well-known architect, had «levised this scheme for saving space and diminishing com- plaints of obstructed view.

Theatre Notes 155 Honor Graduates RADIATOR YEAR BOOK POST GRADUATES The Post Graduate group is becoming a greater factor in the school every year. Because College Entrance Requirements have become more exacting in recent years, it is necessary for many students to return to high school for a fourth year of preparation for college. The size of this group is increasing every year, and because of the age and numbers of its members, is exerting great influence among undergraduates. Post Graduates come to Somerville High School with a fixed purpose in mind, hopeful that their earnestness will permeate the rest of the student body. Formerly, the Post Graduate group has had no definite organization. But this year in September, 1926, one of the faculty. Miss Gordon, volunteered to supervise the group of twenty post graduates, using Room 221 as a Home Room. With her helpful guidance the group has contributed to the Radiator, the Year Book, the Junior Red Cross and other stu- dent organizations. Like the pupils in other rooms, the Post Graduates have been assembled and dismissed at specified times. During the physical training period, however, the time has been utilized for study, for the reading of the bulletin or for group discussion. Difficult problems have often been solved in this manner. Miss Gordon and Miss Ellison have en- deavored to supply the needs of the group and it will always remember their kindness.

The most successful novelty dance of the year was held in the same place in November. The sorority joined with Omicron Pi Sigma Fraternity in giving a dance on New Year’s Eve at Repertory Hall, and on April 8 and 9 the two societies pre- sented a musical comedy, “The American Toreador,” with great success. The annual banquet was held January 10 at the Hotel Vendome. In February another successful novelty dance was given, and the annual formal dance was held on May 5 at Heinemann House.

The new membership includes Isabelle Crossman, Eva Kimpton, Ruth Kimpton, Dorothy- Marble, Caroline Tucker, Florence Underwood, and Charlotte Walsh. The sorority felt very happy and fortunate in welcoming Miss Gladys M. Grant as a faculty member in the early part of the year. The social events of the year began with an informal dance held in Fitzedward Bunga- low on the evening of October 15. In December the annual Christmas party was held at the home of Eleanor Robinson. The evening was especially enjoyable as the members turned back the leaves of the Book of Time, donned their play dresses of old, and eagerly accepted gifts from Santa. The annual banquet held at Hotel Somerset on February 17 was largely attended and greatly enjoyed by the members. On April 18, a shower was given to Ruth Hutchins at the home of Florence Underwood. As in previous years, the sorority enjoyed a camping trip over the week-end of May 30. The members of the Delta Sigma Phi wish to thank Miss Hastings and Miss Grant, the faculty members, for their hearty co-operation in all the undertakings of the sorority. The members join in wishing to the faculty and student body a pleasant and happy vacation. OMICRON PI SIGMA This has been a banner year for Omicron Pi Sigma. Many new members have been admitted and are preparing to hold up the traditions of the fraternity. Our social events have proven very successful. Thanksgiving eve we held our annual formal dance at which we entertained our college brothers. The Alpha Theta Pi Sorority invited us to unite with them in running a New Year’s Eve dance in the New Repertory Ballroom, Boston. We re- turned the invitation by asking them to run a joint show with us. So on the evenings of April 8 and 9 “The American Toreador,” coached by Miss Harriet M. Bell and Miss Josephine Stanyon, was presented. The Musical Comedy was a great success both by its entertainment and financial proceeds. 0. P. S. closed the year by running its Annual Sport dance and party June 3d. Many of the brothers are ending their High School career this June; Horrie Lewis, Bob Stephens, Harold Furness, Stuart Martin, Dick Joyce, Bob Boyden, Bob Thomas and Arthur Sanborn, and to these we wish great success for their futures, and they in turn wish their undergraduate brothers as well as their Alma Mater, unlimited happiness.

The year’s social events consisted of five informal dances at the Fitzedward Bungalow, a whist party and a banquet at Sauntaug. The camping trip over the 30th of May, where we played hosts to the Malden Chapter, was a decided success, seventy members being pres- ent. This year’s edition of the “Kappa Kapers” was given May 11 before a crowd of one thousand people. The show received so much favorable comment that next year’s show will probably be given two nights. During the year, John Hayes, Charles Casey, Frank Van Ummerson and Robert Miller were admitted to membership in the chapter. The brothers of Kappa Alpha Pi take this opportunity to express their attitude of good- will towards the faculty and pupils of the Somerville High School. 177 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK KAPPA DELTA SIGMA SORORITY The Kappa Delta Sorority has enjoyed a prosperous year, both socially and financially.

We wish to thank Miss Fury, our faculty ad- viser, for her co-operation during the year, and extend our sincere wishes of a happy vacation to you all. G E K After twenty-two successful seasons. Delta Zeta looks back on the waning year as one of the best. Our informal dances throughout the year have been successful and well attended. Perley Breed and his famous orchestra furnished delightful music for our annual formal dance at Heinemann House, and the large crowd present enjoyed a pleasant time. On April 22 this chapter presented an original musical comedy, “Brown Sugar,” which was enjoyed by a full house. All the parts, including the feminine roles, were taken by members of Delta Zeta. A large delegation went to the Annual Convention and Banquet, March 14, held at the noted Boston Yacht Club, to celebrate the forty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Gamma Eta Kappa. We wish, in conclusion, to express to the faculty sincere appreciation for their kind efforts, which have so helped our Seniors to successfully terminate their High School career, and the entire membership of the chapter again joins in thanking all who have helped to make the past season so great a success. 178 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK Best Wishes to the Class of 1927 from the FACULTY 179 RADIATOR YEAR BOOK OPENSt T 6 JULY |cy BRYANT S y AND Prepares for JX RAT TON and Places Graduates commercial SCHOOL in Positions Offering BOSTON Advancement. j.w.blaisdell principal c 33 BoylstonSt. Bulletin Sent Con A r ngton St. Upon Request TEL.
