6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS The staff takes this opportunity to express appre- ciation to the editors of last year, whose work made the past year such a success in the history of the Radiator, and seeks the hearty co-operation of the faculty and school in endeavoring to carry on that obligation we have cheerfully assumed and which we hope to fulfill. 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.
