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.

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
