H. S. and are soon lost in the maze of corridors and passageways. Our first assembly. Mr. Avery discusses the possibilities by which we can improve our report cards. The fatal day—report cards. We are forced to leave school to partake of a Thanksgiving meal. We enjoyed the gentle strains of music from the Boston Symphony Concert. Our first insight into the ability of the Players’ Club. “Why the Chimes Rang Out.” Boys start running for track team. Thrift drive. Sophomores are asked to “save” their money. Senior play, “Honor Bright.” Sophomores show their respect for Senior class by attending. Radiator Tag Day. Sophomores are shown the intricacies of baseball; no fooling. Sophomore dance. Sophomore girls win physical training contest. Our first Class Day. Some of us discover the delight of comfortable shoes. Compelled to take a much needed vacation. JUNIOR YEAR 1926-27 The Big Parade—at last we are Juniors! Find that the only advantage 3rd Hoor has is that we can look down on the rest of the school. Decide that the trophy cabinet needs a Junior contribution. Beat St. Mary’s High 7-0 with help of Seniors. Somerville loses to Providence Tech. All good resolutions shot! Radiator Out—Good work, staff! Find how the Faculty were employed during vacation’ Webster Debating Society opens year with a bang. Thrift Drive begun. 1,114 pupils deposit Sl.042.14. Not such spend- thrifts after all! Officers elected : Lawrence Williams Co. End of first quarter. Air castles completely ruined. Three cheers for Coach Dickerman. It’s a wow of a team he produced to defeat Rindge 26-13. Eat till it hurts. Sophs have improved, but still need a little advice. Vacation begins—Santa Claus comes as usual. Wonder if Sophs wrote to him? New Year opens. Back for a rest. These vacations aren’t what they’re cracked up to be. 17

New school commenced—a new hoard here and there. Hopes don’t cost a thing. Juniors go forth to try exams. The last breath of freedom. Start boosting Junior Night Committee. In regard to Senior’s pictures—some definite negative decisions were made. At last! Junior Night. Our first big party. A good time was had by all- etc., especially Seniors. Class Day “put over” by help of Juniors. Class of ’27 is on its way, but we go on forever. SENIOR YEAR Came to school as dignified, all-important Seniors with a vow to do our homework and treat the Sophomores kindly. A week’s time convinced us that homework was not made for us. Capt. Maclnniss and squad taught the Worcester High School of Commerce boys how to play football to the tune of 18-6. The great girl athletes turned out. We elected “Laurie” Williams and Co. The Juniors followed our example and elected officers. Somerville’s football team scored on Everett. The football team celebrated by burying Rindge, and then everybody went home for turkey. “Law” Donovan was elected captain of the baseball team. The track men started off with a spurt. We saw a Christmas Cantata presented by the Glee and Players’ Clubs. The teachers needed a rest, so the pupils consented to take a vacation. Santa Claus came and went. The National Honor Society opened its doors to some members of the Senior class. The Seniors boosted the Sopohomore Dance to Success. A big event; the Senior play, “The New Poor,” went over in big style. The Senior girls and boys showed their superiority by winning a physical training competition. At the State Indoor Track Meet, Somerville took second place and John Hayes tied the record in the hurdles. The Orchestra gave a concert. Most of the Seniors were well entertained at Junior Night. Class Day was held despite workmen and construction. Whoopee—e! Senior Night. And a great time was had by all. The end of our High School career. Speeches, more speeches and—diplomas. The Class of 1928 passes out of the picture. 18
