SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 Olive B. MacPherson, Editor As We See Others:— The Massachusetts Collegian, Mass. Agricultural Col- lege, Amherst, Mass.—Your newspaper is concise and spicy. We are all interested in reading it. The Mirror, Coldwater High School, Coldwater, Mich- igan.—You handle many subjects of interest for a bi- monthly paper. Is there no room for a few exchanges? Pad and Pencil, Chandler Secretarial School, Boston, Mass.—The “Class Prophecy” of June was splendid. “Personals” is always fine. Green and White, De La Salle College, Manila, P. I. —Your magazine is well organized and each depart- ment is excellent. A page of “Jokes” would made it complete. The Brownie, B. F. Brown Junior High, Fitchburg, Mass.—The Literary Department and the cuts of the 1927 Year Book were fine. We should appreciate a comment upon our paper. The Southern Bell, Southern Junior High, Somerville, Mass.—The “Graduation Number” was a fine magazine in every respect. The Gleaner, High School, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. —The stories and editorials of the June issue were good. An “Index” page would improve the paper. The Orange Leaf, High School, Orange, New Jersey. —A very “newsy” school paper. Every department of the “Commencement Number” was attractive and inter- esting. Rindge Register, Rindge Technical School, Cambridge, Mass.—The “Rindge Diary” is quite unusual. Hope you will continue to exchange with us. The Clarion, Arlington High School, Arlington, Mass. —The poems in the June issue were especially com- mendable. We would suggest a “Table of Contents.” The Noddler, East Boston High School.—We enjoyed the “Graduation Number” very much. It contained a good variety of well-written material. The Grotonian, Groton, Mass.—-A well-arranged paper, but a joke column would make it more interest- ing. The Quoddy Light, High School, Lubec, Maine.—We thought the June number a big success. We should be pleased to receive a comment upon our paper. The Pine Needle, High School, Rapid City, South Da- kota.—Welcome to our Exchange column. Your paper is lively. Whence your name? Come again. The Nor’easter, Northeastern Junior High School, Somerville, Mass.—Your “Graduation Number” is com- plete, well arranged, and on a par with your other ex- cellent numbers. “ON TO PARIS!” (Continued from Page 11) ward when hope was low, and spurred him on when failure loomed dark before him:— “Carry on!” through storm and danger, “Carry on!” through dark despair, “Carry on!” through hurt and failure, “Carry on!” through grief and care; ’Twas the slogan heroes gave us As they fell beside the way, And for them and for our country Let us “Carry on!” today! And Lindbergh’s name will always be written in gold letters in the Book of History, because, alone, but unafraid, he “carried on!” ATHLETICS (Continued from Page 18) everywhere and smeared everything.

18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Athletics THE cup pictured on this page is awarded each year to the winning football team in the Suburban League. It is donated by Mr. Foss, an ardent and enthusiastic sup- porter of the League, and is presented by H. D. Foss Co., Inc., of Cambridge. It was won last year by Brookline High School, but this year we hope to see it among the many other trophies which have been awarded the victorious teams of Somerville High. THE football team opened the 1927 season by winning the first two games. The team has nine veterans from last year, and the prospects of winning the championship this year are excellent. The veterans are: Ends, Captain Paul Mac- Innis and Ray Fermoyle; tackles, Charlie Casey and Toothaker; guards, Stevenson and Charlie Peterson. In the backfield are Luppi, Ed. Pet- erson, and Rondina. Some of the new men who are doing well so far are Walter Corbett, quarterback; John Murphy, Dick O’Brien, Donald Wells, and Charlie Dresser. The 1927 football schedule is as follows:— Sept. 24 Worcester H. S. Commerce at Somer- ville. Oct. 1 Dean Academy Second at Somerville. Oct. 8 Salem at Somerville. Oct. 15 Somerville at Medford. Oct. 22 Somerville at Cambridge Latin. Oct. 29 Newton at Somerville. Nov. 5 Everett at Somerville. Nov. 12 Somerville at Brookline. Nov. 24 Somerville at Rindge. SOMERVILLE WINS SECOND GAME FROM DEAN ACADEMY SECOND The football team won its second game from Dean second team 8 to 0. Peterson, kicking for Somerville, outpunted the Dean kicker by 10 yards on each exchange of punts. Stevenson blocked the Dean kick that gave Somerville its first score. In the last period Somerville marched 40 yards for a touchdown. Luppi, Peterson and Rondina took turns, making four or five yards at each rush, and Luppi finally went over. SOMERVILLE LOSES TO SALEM! SOMERVILLE was defeated 6 to 0 in a thrill- ing game at Dilboy Field, October 8. It was the Salem centre who intercepted a pass near midfield after it had hit a Somer- ville man on the shoulder. Then the Salem team, which has not been functioning this year, started to work. With Foley and McMahon crashing through for consistent gains, the ball was carried to the 30-yard line, then Salem completed a fine forward, Anderson to McGee, for the only touchdown of the game. Peterson’s run of 35 yards off right tackle was the longest run of the game. Luppi carried the ball on the kick-off in the second half for 25 yards, bringing the ball to midfield. Captain Mclnnis after playing a wonderful game was carried off the field. Murphy was sent in in the last half and he showed himself a clever, shifty runner. Captain McGee starred for Salem. He was (Continued on Page 19)

20 SOM URVI LLE IUCII SCHOOL RADIATOR FLASHES OF HUMOR If you can't laugh at the jokes of the age, laugh at the age of the jokes. Tourist: “Shall I take this road to Natick?” Farmer: “Isn’t necessary, they already have one there.” Soph.: “Oh! I have an idea.” Sr.: “Beginner’s luck.” “Where are you going, little flea?” “I’m going to the dogs.” Lady (to a little boy): “Hello, little boy, what’s your name?” Boy: “Max.” Lady: “Max what?” Boy: “Max no difference.” A man was stranded on a desert island. He was afraid of cannibals, so he moved very cautiously. As he was climbing up a small hill he heard voices. “Who in h—1 trumped my ace?” The man lifted his eyes to the sky above and said:— “Tha'nk heaven, there are Christians on this island.” Freshman: “Which do you consider the most war- like nation, doctor?” Senior: “Oh, vaccination, it’s nearly always in arms.” College Boy: “D’you call this a fast train?” Proud Guard: “Yes, sir!” College Boy: “Do you mind if I get out and see what it’s fast to?” She: “Is my nose shiny, dearie?” Him: “No, but your right knee is dusty.” Anxious Mother: “And is my boy really trying?” Tired Teacher: “Very.” Officer: “You were speeding. I’ve got to pinch you.” Fair Motorist: “Oh, please! If you must; do it where it won’t show!” He: “Do you want to marry a one-eyed man?” She: “No, why?” He: “Then let me carry your umbrella.” Senior (to one of the Freshmen): “Where have I seen your face before?” Fresh Freshman: “Right where you see it now.” Smithers (in a rage): “That man is the biggest fool in the world.” His wife (comfortingly): “Henry, Henry, you are for- getting yourself.” DE LUXE CANDY SHOP Home Made Candy and Ice Cream of All Kinds FRESH EVERY DAY 11 Davis Square Somerville Telephone 5946 Somerset SOMERVILLE KNITTING COMPANY Manufacturers of HIGH GRADE SWEATERS, BATHING SUITS AND ATHLETIC KNIT OUTERWEAR .‘{2 Clifton Street, W.
