C. WHITCOMB HEAD MASTER, SOMERVILLE ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL. 1895 - 1906 HEN the English High School was established in 1895 the School Board chose Mr. Whit- comb, then a young man of thirty-fire, to organize it. Mr. Whitcomb came to Som- erville from Wakefield, where for sev n years he had been principal of its High School. He brought to his new position enthusiasm and an unusual leadership. High Schools at that time were beginning to broaden from strictly college preparation. English High Schools were being established with a view to giving a broad general education to the many. With this in view Mr. Whitcomb was called upon to arrange a new course of study, to select a corps of teachers sympathetic to the new educational requirements, and to weld all into an effective unit. This he did with unusual success. An able administrator, an enthusiastic leader and an in- spiring influence among young people, he soon developed the Somerville English High School into one of the best known and best organized in the state. From a small school of 456 in 1895, with nineteen teachers, it grew in eleven years to 1,095 with a faculty of forty. Of this number who were with him here in 1906, ten still remain in the school. In 1906 Mr. Whitcomb left Somerville to take charge of the Brockton High School, where he remained till 1915. Those of us who had the privilege of serving under him remember him as a man of high ideals, of great ability, of intense interest in his work. Somerville owes to him a profound feeling of gratitude for the deep imprint he left on the city’s educational system. Many of the best traditions of the present High School may be traced directly to his initiative and guidance. JOHN A. AVERY. October 4, 1931. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 The Hardening Process I “Ole Swimmin’ Hole is deserted again. The folks at home and country relations get a moment of peace now and then, yet the neighborhood grocer misses his errand boy. May we not flatter ourselves for once by saying that we are missed when we are in school? Do you know that there is a belief that when one is born the head contains a soft substance? Evidently, so the tale goes, this matter be- comes hardened as the young person learns a new trick or name, or the like, and so on through life. Now I suppose you are thinking that some of these professors and so-called “know-it-alls should be top-heavy. However, we’ll not go into that for the thing that really concerns us is whether or not we are getting any “hard spots. Surely we could wish for no more helpful surroundings than Somerville High School. Don’t you feel a little bit of self-importance when you come in sight of school in the morn- ing and realize that this convenient and inspir- ing layout is all for you? I do. Of course, I sympathize with those who dread entering, for isn’t it uncomfortable when you’re con- tinually wondering if the history teacher will call on you and when you’ve been to a show or dance the night before and haven’t done a bit of home study? You just know a reception will be tendered you, only it will be during the seventh period or else a chum remarks: “Say, Bill, you had all the luck today. You weren’t even asked to recite. Luck. Is it really luck and do we wait to be asked to re- cite? Certainly it is luck for the teacher but hardly for us, is it? Why, the way I’m carry- ing on you’d think we never studied, wouldn’t you? Still it’s good to remind ourselves that anyone can say “I don’t know, but it takes study and observation to learn to think so that one may honestly say and feel confident that he does know. What difference will it make in later years whether or not we remember a poem or a cer- tain “brain-teaser” in mathematics? No dif- ference whatever because after all if we ac- tually learned the poem, or whatever it might have been, our brain developed that much more as a result of it and even though the very words are not on the tip of our tongues, still our brains have conserved the idea expressed in the words and their beauty and meaning have developed the senses which make human life livable, for it is the union of all these senses which gives power to think. Then is it not easy to see that if each of these separate senses are well developed then their union into a thinking body should enable that person to appreciate the beauties and enjoy the happi- ness of life. Great educators and authors have purposely written books, poems and songs to convey this very idea and how can we, the leaders of to- morrow, conscientiously feel that we want to go through life missing half of what it holds for us solely because we did not make use of the opportunity that our schools and teachers offered — the opportunity to learn to think. W. C. R. ADVICE TO AN EDITOR By Edna Morus, ’34 When you feel that things arc slow. When your stock of news runs low, When there seems a woeful lack, And the murder-market’s slack, When, I say, you’re short of copy, Don’t grow lachrymose and sloppy. 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ARE YOU AN ACTOR? By Pauline Dudley, ’32 A LL the World is a Stage,” said A Shakespeare, and never was there a truer statement, for we all act, do we not? Some of us give fine, splendid per- formances. Others seem to be merely walking across the stage. Haven’t we all, at one time or another, been so dejected and miserable that we could have screamed and yet we kept on laughing, talking, being gay, even some- times overdoing it? What was that but act- ing? Which are you, a good actor or a bad one? Are you glorifying your part whether it is large or small, or are you degrading it? For remember, your own part, whether it has brought you glory or not, will be most impor- tant to you when the curtain is rung down on the final scene. Will your audience remember or will they forget? It all rests with you! The people of the theatrical life have an ex- pression which is like a code of honor to them; it is rarely violated. Always it is their motto, their one and only permanent creed: “The show must go on.” How many, many times we have seen this enacted on the stage, but isn’t it true outside the theatre, too? Isn’t it one of the cruelties of life that even though your own little world seems to be falling in broken bits around you, although your dreams seem shattered, life keeps on, unmoved, un- changed, racing on toward the inevitable goal which is never quite attained. There is no time to stop and sympathize for more than a moment. Then it is, when the sunshine seems to have faded away, that you find out what it .means to be a good trouper, to go forward with your head up and your eyes turned to- ward the future, to give the best performance of your life and spread happiness around you instead of making life miserable for your as- sociates. But no matter what you do the show will go on and either you will learn to be in the front ranks taking your cues without a falter, or you will fall to the rear, unnoticed, a shadow across the stage. Even if your part is but a bit, some one will understand and real- ize what lies in back of that gallant perform- ance, but, far better, you will have the realiza- tion in your own heart that you are carrying on, doing your part in the drama that is life. AN APPEAL! By Julia Saparoflf, '32 DO YOU KNOW that last year the Radia- tor was rated among the six best school publications in Massachusetts? This is a high honor, and I suppose we should be satisfied, but, like all ambitious editors we would like our paper to carry off first prize this year. But we can’t accomplish that feat or even keep our old success unless you, the student body, contribute much more material to the paper than you have so far this year. If more of you would write, we would have a greater variety of talent, and so have a better, more interesting Radiator. We need, especially, more poetry by different writers. If poets would buckle down and work, and give us the fruits of their labors, our Poet’s Corner would be the richer for it. You may be authors and poets without knowing it, so why don’t all of you try your hand at writing, and give us a “break”? You’ll be astonished at your capabil- ities, and so may the school. Come on, and put your finger in the literary pie! With your co-operation perhaps we can lead the ranks. ON LOOKING WISE By Marion Standish ISDOM is natural sagacity. There are many people, however, who think it is necessary for them to try to look wise. They really believe that if they look wise others will think they are wise. Such people are “wiseacres” and the character of this type of person is often not up to the stand- ard that it should be. It seems that when they begin to deceive by their appearance their whole life becomes mixed with deceit. We all can understand that people who naturally look wise have the advantage, but not as much advantage as one might think at first, because character shows plainly on the faces of men and women who are wise, and these people need not depend on their appear- ance when wisdom is tested. It may be that some people who are not wise succeed fairly well when they try to appear wise. But such people fear the result of their mask of knowl- edge for they are in constant danger of hav- (Continued on page 23) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 Something to Remember Him By By David O’Brien, ’32 OLD JERRY, slouched in his chair by the training table, rose and prepared for business as the clump of many cleats signified the end of the game and the approach of the players. First came the substitutes, most of them without even their hair disar- ranged. These boys rushed in full of spirit and still fresh, all joking and in a joyful mood because of the victory. Next came the regu- lars, stamping in one by one, weary enough to drop, each accompanied to the door by one or more congratulatory friends. They were all mud-smeared, many of them limped, and few there were without some ache or pain. Soon the room was filled with hot steam from the shower, the smell of liniment, and the noise of Jerry’s slaps as he got busy on stiff muscles. Nowlan, the coach, walked about, critically eyeing the injured, giving a word of praise here and there, the watchful guardian of his flock. Nobody consciously noticed the last figure to slide in, drawn of face, resentment shining in his eyes. This was Ted Burwell, first string guard. Ted slouched over to his locker, spun the com- bination, flung in his helmet, and then fell on to the bench. He was bitter, had been bitter now for all of three weeks, he thought. No, he realized, he only felt this resentment after a hard day's practice or after a game, and queerest of all he didn't know just why. He was first string, played a good game, but that was it, just a “good” game. Curious but he was too tired to think of it now. “See you at supper, Ted,” called Frank Jones. His voice brought Ted up with a start, and he noticed that the locker room was almost empty. Slipping off his uniform, he took a shower, and soon was dressed and on his way to the training table supper. Everyone was in a great humor as Ted en- tered the room. Enthusiasm was rampant and banter held sway. “Hi! Ted, old sock!” “How’s the old ‘sweetheart of Sigma Chi?' ” “Hey All-America, where’ve you been?” “All-America,” growled Ted and hot anger surged up in him. “All-America” nothing! Why did they have to call him that he wond- ered? He finished his meal in comparative silence, as his tablemates soon excluded him from the conversation after he had favored them with a few non-committal grunts. He rose from the table and went to his room in the far corner of the third floor, there to brood with himself over this strange feeling which obsessed him. The next week passed uneventfully and Sat- urday found Ted in the lineup. He still had not shaken his obsession and was sullen as the team ran onto the field. That game ended in a nightmare for Ted. He missed tackles, let the opposition roll over and through him, balled up plays and did everything wrong. After he was taken out in the middle of the third quarter, Nowlan walked up to him and said: “Little stale, huh, Ted? that’s 0.. K. Take time off next week, you deserve it.” This, burned Ted up as he hated to admit that he had gone stale even though he knew it to be true. But this opinion traveled further with terrific results. While reading the reports of the game next morning, Ted encountered his name down in one corner of the page:------“Burwell played a lackadaisical and uninspired game, far below his usual standard” — “Uninspired,” the word smote him. Suddenly he realized just why he had hated the sight of a football these last few weeks. He wanted recognition. Not screaming headlines, he was not built that way, but just appreciation of his work. “Far below his usual standard,” the report read. So! they only expected just so much of him, hey! well he would show them next Saturday! his last game, give them “something lo remember him 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR by.” The song raced through his veins and hummed through his head. He would show them. It was Thursday before he put on a uniform again and then he ruined the tackling dummy. Friday he smeared the scrubs all over the lot and champed at the delay of time. Saturday afternoon finally came. The big “crimson tide” of Brenton rolled onto the field and immediately after came the green-clad warriors of Talbot, Ted raging with them. The teams lined up, the whistle blew and the game was on. Ted was everywhere, making tackles, spilling plays, opening holes like a steam- roller. In the stands they began to look up his number. “46” — Burwell, h’mm must be a new fellow but where’s Nowlan been hiding him.” The game rolled on to the final quarter with Talbot leading 9—7. Then came Ted’s chance. Brenton took the ball on downs on their own forty-yard line. They lined up, signals barked forth, the ball was snapped, and a short pass netted six yards. Ted had broken through but not fast enough. However on the next play, things happened. The Brenton fullback took the ball and hurled what was intended to be a long pass but Barr, the Talbot quarter, leaped up, intercepted and as he descended turned and raced for his own goal! The stands went wild. “Cut him down,” “throw him off-side,” they screamed. Ted saw his opening and from force of habit, because it was the thing to be done, he did it. He went after Barr with a surging rush, dove, seized him by one leg and hurled him off-side a scant ten yards from the goal. It was a lucky break but it was enough. The crowds roared with the name of Burwell. Four minutes later, the game ended and Ted Burwell “the man who saved the Brenton game” marched contentedly to the lockers for the last time in his career, comforted in the knowledge that at last he had given them “something to remember him by.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 A Room for the Night By John Kennedy, 34 ANCESTORS are one of the many things that all human beings have. Among the many in my family is my great aunt who lives in the western part of Mass- achusetts. She is a lovable little lady about ninety years old who lives in an old-fashioned cottage on the main road between Springfield and Holyoke. I have visited her several times and have found each visit extremely interest- ing. She has told me many stories about her experiences during her earlier days when she used to take in summer tourists. One of the most interesting tales was about a young man who came in search of a room for the night. My aunt received him and as supper was being served she asked him if he had dined. He re- plied in the negative and immediately another place was set at the table. He seemed to be rather quiet and sort of a mysterious person. My aunt didn’t take much notice of him. He seemed to be friendly with the other people while eating. After supper the tourists went into the living room and one of them turned on the phonograph. For about half an hour they sang and danced. The newcomer retired for the evening at seven-thirty. The next morning a lady reported that her watch had been stolen. My aunt and a police officer went upstairs to search the rooms in an effort to find it. The new boarder was the only one who had not been down to breakfast in the morning. The door of his room was locked. The police officer knocked on the door but received no reply. For this reason a skele- ton key was used to open the door. The man had gone. Was it he who had stolen the watch ? No, the watch was found in the hall, but who was this man? He came back a week later to pay for his board. My aunt asked him who he was. He said he was the son of an English duke. He had stayed at my aunt’s because he did not want to return to England just then and was traveling incognito. On the night he arrived at my aunt’s he thought he had recognized among the other boarders a newspaper repor- ter who had once tried to interview him. In order to avoid a possible second attempt on the part of the reporter the young English noble had decided to make his visit at my aunt’s a one-night stand. Bill's Uneasiness By Philip Seretto, ’34 T V' |f NUAT afternoon Bill was unquestionably nervous. While he was entertaining his mother’s guest, he was constantly shifting his weight from one foot to the other. His older brother who was watching, saw no reason for this because he had never acted so before. A pair of hands that had been pulling the table runner moved upwards to a jacket button. It was almost removed by the twist- ing it received. His right hand left the but- ton and moved to the curly locks on his head. With fingers apart, the hands passed roughly to and fro, pulling a few strands of hair. His older brother thought that there was surely something the matter and that there was a reason for Bill’s unusual actions. Now Bill was trying to speak, but it sounded as though his tongue had stuck to the roof of his mouth. He stuttered over his first words and mumbled the last. There was more to his actions than the eye could see. Presently his mother came in. After greeting her guest, she dismissed Bill. Upon reaching the hall, he took his hand- kerchief from his pocket and wiped the perspi- ration from his face and hands and then breathed freely once more. You see Bill had broken the guest’s window the day before. 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Introducing— ‘ ‘ Us ’ ’ DEAR READER, as this issue goes to the press, it strikes the mind of this more or less intelligent editor that perhaps you would like to know some of the people who get it ready for you. Well, let’s line them up and here goes! First comes that terror of the staff, the edi- tor-in-chief, Warren Russell. He’s the “guy” who tells us to just dash off a story of two for the next issue, but he’s a pretty good scout just the same. Right on his trail is the associate editor, Julia Saparoff, the little girl who carries around a great big load of editorial points. Following right along comes that terror of the Sophs, the Senior Class editor, Irving “Ike” “Muzzy” Murray. We have lots of more names for him too but they can’t be printed. He also has a more or less dizzy assistant in, — well, he hasn’t been appointed yet but he’s sure to be dizzy after working with Mjirray. That sprightly Junior Class editor, Ruth Car- ter, usually has a few bright thoughts up her sleeve, too. The only trouble with her is that she keeps her thoughts right up her sleeve. Our sparkling, scintillating, thrilling (pretty good words, huh?), athletic reports are en- graved by that there master craftsman, Bob Miller. You’ll probably see Bob running around at all the games with his little pad and pencil but then you might not. What’s the difference how he runs around as long as Jie writes up his notes. When you read what your big brother and sis- ter are doing now you’ll know that Rosamond Reiser, the Alumni editor, and her handsome ycung assistant (the line forms on the right, girls) ? David Young, are on their trail. A trio of hard-working girls are Phyllis Down, Eve- lyn Paten and Annette Jervis. And when I say hard working, I mean it. Try getting to- gether a page of poetry, exchanges, or good books some day yourself and then you’ll know what they’re up against. There are a couple of bright young Sophs on the staff, too. They know that when business is falling off for the flag-pole sitters business is picking up for the undertakers, so they go right after the undertaker’s ad. John Albani and Marjorie Michelson, our assistant business managers, I mean. Those jokes (heh-heh-heh), are drawn up by Lawrence (Larry to you) Parr. He’s a joke too. Oops! Pardon me Larry, I didn’t know you were around. Several cute little boys and girls, headed by the supreme royal circulating manager-in-chief, Sherman Levenson, flit about the building look- ing for money from subscriptions, so watch out. For future dodging they are Audrey DeLong, Virginia Savage, Jimmy Kaup. Yes, Frankie Lane’s around somewhere, but just where, no- body knows. There, now that you’ve heard all about us, just how much do you know about us? Noth- ing, do I hear? Correct, Oscar, go to the head of the class. Last, but not least, comes this sparkling scribe. I’m pretty good, am I not? Yes, I am not. (Oh, am I blushing?) Well, so long — A. E. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR II Rivers By Dorothy Hallberg, ’32 Y first experience with a river, or winding stream as it may more cor- rectly be called, was when I was seven years old. This stream flowed through our back yard, and was only two or three feet deep (sufficiently deep to make one of my age wet enough to catch cold.) We were playing “Blind Man’s Bluff ,” and I was “it.” Not know- ing where I was going, I walked right to the river and fell in. Between my “yells” and “screams” I managed to swallow a great deal of water. I was a bit timid of rivers for a short time after that, but now I can sit for hours by the flowing waters, listening to their miniature waves lapping the edges of the stream, with the overhanging willows and birches swaying in the breeze. Now, let us go to the top of a high mountain, and follow a little trickling stream which we find there. It is winding its way among the rocks and trees, then tumbling over a small ledge, where it may rest a while, forming a small pool. It continues its journey to the bot- tom, picking up stones and carrying them along, and purifying its crystal clear water as it travels. We wonder how it increases in size, and use, and we find other little rivulets have joined it, and our stream has now changed to a brook, traveling through green pastures with cows grazing along its green, mossy banks. We continue roaming along our river until we find it flows either into a lake or an ocean. Rivers always have, and always will appeal to both the emotional and practical viewpoint of man. Poets write beautiful poems and songs about the beauty of rivers, and men commer- cialize them, making them means of transpor- tation. Many rivers have been changed by man who has made them wider and straighter, for more convenient travel, but such changes spoil their charm for the beauty lover. The more rivers I see, the more they fasci- nate and interest me. Unlike my first experi- ence I now enjoy falling in rivers (provided I have my bathing suit on), and a swim in their cool, green waters is a delight. How Black Hawk, the Famous Robber, Was Caught Bv Fred Young, ’33 ONE WINTER when Babe Ruth, the famous hockey player, went away for his summer vacation he told his un- trusty servant to unlock all the doors and take the silverware to the bank. The faithful servant failed to carry out these orders and took the silverware to the bank. Soon the front door opened with a bang, and White Eagle, the famous thief, crept silently in the back way. Once inside he took off his stockings and filled them with silverware; he then took a knife and cut down all the oil paintings from the wall. Finding the pantry door unlocked, he took a bridge lamp and bat- tered it down. He then took all the books from there and put them in his sock. So quiet had his actions been that the ser- vant who was in the kitchen eating, did not know of this robbery until a detective rushed (Continued on page 17) 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Parnassus on Wheels A Book Review By Annette Jervis 1TD ARNASSUS 0N WHEELS” by Chris- topher Morley, is a rather unusual story. It is a short novel contain- ing humor, adventure, local color, a little ro- mance and mystery, and a great many inter- esting ideas about books. To prevent her brother from getting books, Helen MacGill buys a whole traveling book store. “Parnassus On Wheels,” as Roger Mif- flin calls his van load of books, is drawn by Pegasus. In order to have time to write'a book of his own, Roger is willing to sell his outfit for four hundred dollars. Helen, know- ing the way the house would be upset if her brother, an author, ever got so many books, buys Parnassus and Pegasus. Roger goes with her the first day to initiate her into the busi- ness of selling books. One of her first lessons is: “When you sell a man a book, you don’t sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue —- you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humor and ships at sea by night — there’s all heaven and earth in a book, in a real book, I mean.” Helen learns many lessons in Roger’s philosophy and inci- dents the reader does, also. One of the chief reasons why I liked the book was because it was so real and true to life. In one place Morley says through Roger Mifflin: “It is better to read a good book than to write a poor one; and I’ve done so much mixed reading in my time that my mind is full of echoes and voices of better men,” and in another, “I think reading a good book makes one modest. When you see the marvelous in- sight into human nature which a truly great book shows it is bound to make you feel small- like looking at the Dipper on a clear night or seeing the sunrise when you go out to collect the eggs.” Roger Mifflin is an odd, likeable character, but a queer person for a hero. One would hardly expect a man small in stature, mild in manner, with a fringe of red hair surrounding his bald spot to rescue the heroine from such dangers as her brother, some tramps, a dog and other perils. The heroine, herself, is rather different from the usual type of story-book ladies, though. Everything comes to a happy ending when she discovers that Roger was not killed in the train wreck because he was being detained in jail. They both come to the con- clusion that “books aren’t a substantial world� (Continued on page 20) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 AS LONG AS 1 MAY SING By Nona Locknian, 31 I’d like to be Most anything. Just as long As I may sing. I’d like to be A tiny breeze. And sing to all Of Nature’s trees. Or an old brass kettle, That’s brewing tea, And sings on the hearth Quite merrily. Or a lark That never dies, For it sings always To the broad blue skies. Or a stream, For I should Ever sing To the wood. Or a full-blown sail On a clipper ship, That sings of spray, And the sea’s broad dip. Or a clock On the shelf, That sings To itself. Oh! I’d like to be Most anything. Just as long As I may sing. A STUDIO IN PARIS By Nona Lcckman, 31 I want a studio in Paris. A garret high above the street, Yet near enough for me to hear Upon the cobblestones, the passing people’s feet. A place where I may work By my dreaming onward led And give to others the thoughts That go swirling through my head. An easel — the canvas upon it In one corner shall stand — May it feel often The touch of my hand. A desk with pen and paper It has been used before I find — And is waiting or me to write The poems still in my mind. Unceasingly I hope That there will always be Somewhere in Paris A studio that waits for me. THE THREE WILLOWS By Evelyn E. Paton, '32 The three old willows bend above the stream; Beneath their boughs the sun sends gleam on gleam Down to the rippling water and the moss. For many lonely years they have stood there, Around their tiunks grows dainty maiden hair. The little stars of Bithlehem peep out From underneath old boulders round about As up above the willows’ branches cross. Editor’s Note: The two poems by Nona Lockman were written last spring too late to appear in the final issue of the Radiator. Nona has since graduated but we enjoyed these verses of hers and tucked them away to appear in our first issue this fall. 14 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR mo NESTOR SHEA FOLEY and Randolph Richardson are entering the Sopho- more Class at Harvard College.

HONORS IN EXAMINATIONS High Rank Is Attained by Somerville High Graduates An unusually large number of graduates of the Somerville High School are entering col- leges and other higher institutions of learning this fall, with honors received in their entrance examinations. Six students are entering Har- vard College, including Charles Bowden, a post- graduate; James V. Doolin, Lester D. Hallett, Fenwick MacLeod, Roy M. Pearson, and Wil- liam J. Robbins. Of this group, four of the graduates were awarded scholarships. Roy Pearson received the Somerville scholarship of $300, established by Dr. George L. Baxter. James Doolin and Lester Hallet were awarded Price Greenleaf aid. William Robbins received the Harvard Club of Somerville scholarship. The following honors were received on entrance examinations: Hallet and MacLeod in Ger- man ; Pearson in English and Latin; Robbins in French. Those admitted to Radcliffe are as follows: Gertrude F. Connolly, Lillian I. Grossman, Iris D. Ruggles. Iris D. Ruggles was editor of the High School Radiator. She is exempt from the Freshman English course for a high rank on entrance. Ruth G. Buflfum, daughter of Herbert L. Buffum, enters Mount Holyoke. Isabel L. Parker, now living in Winchester, en- ters Wellesley College. The following took the examination and have (Continued on pago IG) 16 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR UNITED STATES NAVY BAND ON September 22, the United States Navy Band under the leadership of Lieuten- ant Charles Benter, gave two concerts in the High School Auditorium. The proceeds from these concerts will go to the Christmas Tree Fund for the needy children of Somer- ville. It gave us quite a thrill to see the large buses with “Navy Band” painted on their sides drive up the incline before our school and park in front of our portals. There is no need for us to praise the per- formance of the band, it suffices to say that it lived up to its reputation. We just want to add that we have a share in that organization, for Ralph Sliney, S. H. S., 1912, is one of its members. Drop anchor again in our school, Navy Band! V PLAYERS’ CLUB Friday, September 19, marked the opening meeting of the Players’ Club for the year. As always the first business was to elect officers. The following are cur new officers: Henry Syer, president; Beatrice Nobrega, vice-president; Christine Chisholm, recording secretary; Frank Magliozzi, treasurer; Maude Driscoll, corresponding secretary; David O’Brien, publi- city agent. Accounts of interviews with prominent theatrical stars, by members of the club, have been enjoyed by all. Recent tryouts have brought many talented people into our circle and we assure you that a brilliant program has been planned for this year. • t t « V V ASSEMBLIES Sophomore and Senior assemblies were called in September to give us a brief forecast of what this year holds in store for us. We feel sure that, if the bits of advice of- fered by Mr. Avery as to systematic daily work and the dodging of “D’s” is followed, this year will be a successful one in our school career. HONORABLE MENTION! The Staff thought that you might be inter- ested in knowing that our paper was given “First Place Honor Ratings” in a creative writ- ing contest sponsored by the Quill and Scroll Society, which is an international honorary so- ciety for High School journalists. Of course you realize that the major part of the credit for this great honor goes to our young authors. This should prove to you that stories expressing your fancies and accounts of experiences are of interest to everyone and en- courage you to share the beautiful thoughts which make you happy with others, through writing for the Radiator. HONORS IN EXAMINATION (Continued from page 15) been admitted to the Freshman Class of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Ever- ett E. Day, Gordon Gott, Stanley B. Howard, Roland K. Humphrey, Lucius E. Packard, Frank P. Wilkins. Stanley B. Howard had honors in all subjects and receives a scholar- ship of $500 for his superior record. Lucius E. Packard received honors in algebra; Frank P. Wilkins in physics, and others to successfully pass the entrance examinations were Robert L. Chase, with honors in physics; Roland K. Humphrey, who received 100 per cent, in his algebra, and obtained honors in trigonometry and solid geometry; Frank Mangano had honors in algebra, and Donald F. Taylor honors in trigonometry. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 17 EXCHANGES By Evelyn Baton. ’32. Exchange Editor THE SLATER PIONEER. Samuel Slater Junior High, Pawtucket, R. I. To dedicate your June issue to two classmates who have “Gone Beyond was indeed •commendable. THE CLARION, Jamaica Plain High School, Bos- ton, Mass. What a picture is presented in “Tempes- tus!” The author of the essay on “Jazz” certainly made us believe that that type of music is typically Ameri- can! THE DISTAFF, Girls’ High School, Boston, Mass. The girls who contributed to the “Poets’ Nook” of your May issue, gave us some good reading. THE NODDLER, East Boston High, Boston, Mass. A striking contrast occurred in the Class Poem of the Class of 1931. You also had a unique way of arrang- ing your class pictures. THE FULGOR, Hartford High School, White River •Junction, Vt. The heading for your June “Alumni” Department was very attractive. The School Tattler has its share of “individuality.” THE GOLDEN ROD, Quincy High School, Quincy, Mass. We can always count on a good all-round mag- azine. An excerpt from “The Golden Rod”:— The Scotchman’s Song Hi diddle diddle. Pm round in the middle; I just ate a dinner for two. It may make me fat But who cares for that? As long as the dinner’s on you. THE CORD AND COWL, St. Joseph’s Seminary, •Callicoon, N. Y. Welcome to our midst, stranger! “Kampus Kraks” — what a jolly department! “At a Franciscan Monastery” made us think that its author would have liked to be there. “St. Anthony of Padua” was an interesting tale. OLD HUGHES, Hughes High School, Cincinnati, Ohio. “Trade Winds” — what an ideal heading for an Exchange column! In fact, all your headings are extremely appropriate and attractive. THE LEMON-STIR, Leominster, Mass. “The Fatal Ship” and “The Sailor’s Treasure Chest” gave us the impression that some pupils in your school are fond of sea stories. “Good things come in small packages,” “Lemon-Stir.” We are proud to exchange with such a well-filled magazine. THE ORACLE, Manchester High School, Manches- ter, N. H. Another magazine with whom we are proud to exchange! Keep up the good work, Oraclers! THE SOUTHERN BELL, Southern Junior High School, Somerville, Mass. Greetings, neighbor! Your graduation number had the cover of the month. THE POINTER, Quincy Point Junior High School, Quincy, Mass. We like the way your columns are ar- ranged. Every article is given a degree of prominence. THE MADISONIAN, Madison High School, Madi- son, N. H. Your literary department contains many enjoyable tales. THE SHUTTLE, High School of Practical Arts, Bos- ton, Mass. “Graduation,” “The Procession,” and “The Parting” merit our congratulations. Regrets of part- ing at graduation are very cleverly portrayed in these three poems. THE HOLT SCHOOL MAGAZINE, Holt School, Liverpool, England. “Corridor Opinions” is a very original piece of work. “The Examiner’s Nightmare” was very amusing. MEDFORD REVIEW, The Medford High School, Medford, Mass. Sincerest welcome to another neigh- bor. How Black Hawk, the Famous Robber, Iras Caught (Continued from page 11) in and grabbed his hand and shouted: “Sh, there’s a robber down the cellar stealing things from the attic.” So hand in hand they skipped off to the at- tic. When they got there they saw Black Hawk just opening one of the huge French windows near the furnace. “Stop!” whispered the policeman, but instead of stopping, the man threw a boomerang at the two. It knocked the servant and the officer out and John Doe made good his getaway. Two days later they awoke with a start and resumed the chase. They finally sighted the thief three or four miles ahead of them, just .as they were entering Yellowstone Park, near the Mexican border, after three months, seven- teen days, eleven hours, fifty-three minutes, and twenty-nine seconds of hard running. They were about ten feet, seven and one-half inches away from him when they saw a thin shape circling around the Statute of Liberty. All of a sudden the shape started for them, then it veered towards the thief who suddenly started to dodge, twist and duck, but to no avail, the shape hit him on the head and knocked him out. The servant and the officer rushed to the scene and found that it was the thief’s own boomerang. You know they always come back to their owners. 18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1932 Uh, huh. Ye Okie Mud Slinger, Ye Weary Satirist, Ye Cynical Commentator, or You Big Bum, or what have you — back again despite all your wiles and willies. You know, when a man can run for three seasons straight, he must be good. (He ought to be after practicing at your expense for two years, sez you, you big bully!) But that’s nothing in comparison. Just think, after this issue is issued (a common occurrence among is- sues), your ‘umble heditor expects to be running with half the Senior Class after, him for thirty years. Oh, well, c’est la vie. Or maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know whether to razz the Sophs or not. (More honestly, I’m hard up for a good gag). (More paren- theses: as usual.) You know, Slobbermores have been f A STUDY PUPILS NIGHTMARE ) ———————”” ragged so much that I sometimes think they are bet- ter left unsaid. And if you consider it from several angles, there’s more truth in it than there usually is- in Ye Classie Noties. But it is true that one Slopmore approached his- home-room teacher bearing one cent. Why the pecu- nious baggage? (Aha. my dictionary, watsonofagun.) The dear, better still, the chubby dear wanted to buy a nice wittle graham kwacker so that he could keep’ his cheeks wed. Watch out, Slop, and don’t forget your rubbers, ’cause we’re reigning now, and you won’t get a chance to forget it! VECKESHUNS By now we’re a far cry from vacations, but here’s- the dope. Karl Ernst (editor’s note: Run the last two words of the preceding sentence together with those fust two of this sentence — see what I mean?????). Anyway, Karl ornamented the summer sands of Onset between his engagements at Mosely’s. Mister Irving “Joan I..” Isinger wrote us a colorful letter about the glories of the Cliff House at Ogun- quit, Maine. Harriett Burk earned herself a nice little “A” in English with a novel story about her experi- ences last summer in leading a group of small girls at a summer camp. Rajah Carpenter stretched his feet along the Hudson, and they do say that the same pedal-extremities covered the territory between Bear Mountain and West Point. Think of that sometime when the big boy begs your leave goils! Ah, yes — we must not forget our sassiety, I mean, society. The Misses York, Jones and Rieser summered on the Cape. (More or less.) And now to continue where we left off. James and Lermond Schmidt went, as usual, up where the granite comes, from, in some little town in Maine. And take it from me, ’cause I know, they make ’em plenty small up there, and they put ’em where you’d never expect to find them. Carroll Throensen ran up the bank balance- via the usual State House job — Criminal Mind De- partment, strange to say. Myself? Had a great summer. Had some great days in July, look — see-ed Detroit in August (also- roamed around half of Maine, one Sunday), and fin- ished it off in September with a great time in New York. And so, here we are, back at the old strug- gle again. REMINDER: Your loving teachers are planning to give you an ever-welcome present soon. Always SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 thoughtful, ever mindful of the pupils’ needs, they have decided to give out, absolutely free, a fresh set of report cards. Such unprecedented generosity! Still, any Soph who wants mine can have same for fifty cents. (And I could be persuaded to do it for less!) Give an ear: If you haven’t heard Vic Young’s trumpet player on that 7.00 WAAB Bing Crosby pro- gram, you’ve missed something; best show in Boston for a dog’s age, Lew Leslie’s “Rhapsody in Black!” Ethel Waters a riot! “Rhapsody in Blue” rendition perfect; “Man About Town” good column to get the dope about celebs; “Palmy Days,” they say, is a riot; it must be the heat. Well, that’s about all now. You know, you better sit down now and write a couple of wise cracks. Send ’em in to Ye Editor, who will publish them, no matter what they be. That’s how hard times are. See you in the breadline. Greetings, salutations, etc. Back again, and at it again, only there’s more pleasure to it this year. For, being a Junior, I can have the unsurpassed joy of in- sulting the Sophomores as I — and the class in gen- eral — was insulted last year. Well, we survived it, and — new Sophs, we hope you may be able to do the same. Sophomores--we greet you, shake your hands, wish you luck and direct you up the wrong staircase. And, by the way, have you yet, reached the floor of your destination only to discover that you are on the wrong stairway and “that T. S.” glaring at you is telling you you must go back. Even we enjoy (?) that privi- lege. You think teachers can’t do the impossible but here’s one who did. She had a Junior Class com- pletely mystified for five minutes. Well, when an alge- bra teacher begins to talk about an “order of Stones” arriving, who wouldn’t be puzzled. Were the stones for building purposes? Were they to throw at inat- tentive Sophs? No, wrong again. You see (or do you), the teacher was referring to an order of alge- bra books, namely “The New Math,” by Stone. Ketch in ? Oh, by the way, the phrase, Ketch in is used by special permission of the copyright owner, a Senior girl, or at least, I hope it is. Speaking of names of authors there’s the French history we use — or do we? And if you should look on the title page you would find that one of the authors is Teresa Macironc. That’s what we get when we cram French during a lunch period, n’est ce pas? Then there’s the Junior boy (yes — Juniors oc- casionally do such things) who is always forgetting something. One day in exasperation Miss E— said: “Do you ever forget the way to school in the morn- ing?” “No,” replied the gentleman (??), “but I forget to pay my carfare.” My, my, my-tah! In a recent algebra class the inevitable problem of the eggs was brought up. So many eggs, and so many broken. You recognize the type? Well, when the example had been duly solved and discussed there came a meek voice from the rear of the room: “But don’t you make any use of the broken eggs?” I won- der if the owner of the voice ever tried such a feat. Then there’s the Junior Ancient History Class that seems to be one ripple after another. F’r instance, came the question (as questions will come): “What was the Roman method of cremation?” And, in a low voice came the answer: “Burning.” Not reahly! My deah! And also, the astounding knowledge that the first racketeers were Romans, was imparted to this class by the inimitable Mr. O’L. These two Romans (namely Sulla and Marius) would surely have a keen time in this present-day world or may be I should say that the present-day world would have a keen time with Marius and Sulla. Can’t you imagine being taken for a ride in a Roman chariot. I hear that with the depression in Chicago that they can’t afford to take the victim for a ride, they take him for a hitch- hike. 20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Did you ever stop to wonder what teachers must do in their summer vacations that makes them so hard in September? Not that we mind a little home- work — at all, at all! And we find that instead of being right on our heels, football has walked right over us and is in full swing. Which reminds me of the football star who wanted his diploma made of pigskin instead of sheepskin. And, speaking of the high spots of Somerville High School Sophs, how do you like our band? Keen, oh, keen — which? When they march down that football field playing as if their lives depended on it doesn’t it make you forget to save your cheers for when our team is winning? Well, since I realize that unless I stop I’ll have writers’ cramp, or rather, a black eye, maybe two (when this paper comes out), I guess it’s time to say “A bientot.” 1934 “Professor” Avery, we are here! The Class of ’34! Thirteen hundred strong! Now that we have bid adieu to that season of pleas- ure and autumn is here with its football games, fall- ing leaves, and school work, we Sophomores find our- selves at that renowned institution of learning, Som- erville High School. We acknowledge that at present we may not be of the soundest minds on all subjects, but just watch us go now that we’ve started! We here highly resolve that we will hold on high the stand- ards set by previous classes and will strive to make Somerville High the best in the state. Ancient History Teacher: “What did Alexander say to the Persians when they suggested dividing the world?” Sophomore: “Nothing doing.” Congratulations football squad on the fine playing. Keep it up! The Sophomores will always support you! Heard in the corridor: “Line up here by the door, please, single. (Unmarried?) We hope that Captain R— won’t be all “pulled apart” before the publication of this issue as we wish to applaud him on his fine leadership of the football team. Certain members of our class have been carrying on a very extensive investigation as to the exact loca- tion of the school elevator. Those having any infor- mation concerning its whereabouts, please communicate immediately with the Radiator office. Extra !!! Extra !!! Teacher baffled in trying to seat Martin and Martiny alphabetically. What would our corridors be like without those “Tin Soldiers,” excuse us, we mean traffic squad mem- bers to remind us of the traffic regulations. One of our classmates said “Geometry is a mental calamity.” Of course, we all disagree with him in this, irreverent reference to our beloved (?) study. Send all dispatches to Ye Editor. We’ll see you in the next issue and as Lowell Thomas would say: “So long until next month.” v %• i Parnassus On Wheels (Continued from page 12) after all, but that every now and then we get hungry for some closer and more human re- lationships.” There is enough plot in “Parnassus On Wheels” to hold anyone’s attention but only a real book-lover can enjoy it to the fullest extent. Have you already become acquainted, Sopho- mores, with Room 215? It is indeed a pleas- ant reading room in which an assortment of entertaining magazines and books are gath- ered. In this, our school library, practical help as well as enjoyment can be found. Many ref- erence books are at the service of pupils. In order to use the library during a free period you must first get a study-slip at the short re- cess or before school from Miss Hastings, the librarian. Fill it out and return it to the desk where you will be given another slip. This one, with all the required information on it, give to the teacher with whom you usually study that period. Among the most attractive sets of reference books on the shelf is the new “Progress Of Nations.” The blue and gold binding is enough to make you want to discover what is within. “The story of the world and its people from the dawn of history to the present day” is told in ten volumes, having illustrations on nearly every page, several colored pictures and maps. “Suggestions to the Reader” and “Sug- gestive Questions,” will help you appreciate what you read. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 21 AN APPEAL! THIS article is written for the purpose of proving to you that it is both your duty and your pleasant privilege to support Somerville High athletics, especially football, which has, rightfully been called “the father of academic sports.” Students of this traditional school should be proud of its buildings and its societies. Old S. H. S. has turned out many teams, glorious in victory and so it will continue to do in the future, too. But (and you might stop for fair reflection, while I pause for emphasis), your support, physical and financial, is imperative if we are to hold our heads high in the sport- ing world. The 1931 football schedule is attractive, to say the least, in that we meet some of the strongest local teams. And when we do play, all students will want to be present to see their classmates smashing their rivals. There is great enjoyment to be obtained from watch- ing two teams of merit play a sensational game like football, particularly when, surely, eleven of those boys are acquaintances of yours. Every peppy, red-blooded Somerville High School student will want to cheer for the Red and Blue. And you may have your chance to do this, for, by seeing Mr. William O’Brien, the faculty manager, you can secure as many yellow tickets as you desire, at twenty-five cents each. These checks will entitle you to an afternoon of thrill- ing, healthy fun. So, let’s go. And boys, invite your girl friends along, too. They tell me it’s quite the thing to do.

KEITH ACADEMY GAME September 26 was indeed a dismal day, but it colorfully commenced the Somerville High 1931 Football Season. The team of Keith Acad- emy of Lowell, were our worthy opponents, but we sent them home with the impressive score of 18 to 0 burdening their shoulders. Our first touchdown came as a gift from the patron saint of all football players. A rather too ambitious Somerville back “heaved” a pass, “smack” into the surprised countenance of a Keith Academy player. From this “No Man’s Land” it bounded straight into the hands of none other than our all-scholastic captain, Joe Regan, who promptly terminated this “crazy accident” into six points. Touchdown No. 2 was put over by Nicky Androske, when that erst-while player caught a lateral flip from Duggan. This play gained the Red and Blue a half-dozen more units. Rogan deserves much credit for placing the sphere in scoring distance. He skirted ends and sprinted through scrimmages for sizeable yardage. In the fourth period the opposing punter hoisted a kick down to Donahue, the pilot of 22 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR our eleven athletes. “Donny” gathered it in, then, like a frightened rabbit, dodged and twisted his way about sixty yards, across the all-important goal line. It was a very spec- tacular broken field run and climaxed the game. So that, classmates, is how Somerville High got its eighteen counters and its initial victory of the season. The starting lineups:— Somerville Hayes, 1. e. Regan, Capt., 1. t. Janjigian, 1. g. Bertocci, c. Luciano, r. g. Tranello, r. t. Allrecht, r. e. Donahue, q. b. Rogan, r. h. b. Androske, 1. h. b.

The great Napolean met his Waterloo and, in like happenings Somerville High School collided with Waltham for its first set-back. It requires no knowledge of intricate mathe- matics to recognize the infantile score of our opponents, but, although the defeat was by a small margin, the point is that Somerville lost. The first three periods were devoid of spec- tacular plays, although Falco, occasionally bulled his way through scrimmages. The or- der of play seemed to be attempts at the line, then punting on fourth down. Everyone real- ized that the turning point of the contest would occur on a “break,” and that is exactly how it happened. On the last play of the third stanza, Wal- tham recovered a Red and Blue fumble, and im- mediately, when play was resumed, uncovered a very effective aerial attack. In two passes, from Lands to Johnson, forty-four yards were gained. Then, after two line bucks were at- tempted, Allia smacked across the goal for the game’s only score. Somerville was, figura- tively, never in the game after that. The day, itself, was pleasant and warm, which may have bothered the gladiators, but certainly pepped up the enthusiasm of the- crowd, which witnessed the game. The line-up:— Somerville Hayes, 1. e. Regan, Capt., 1. t. Janjigian, 1. g. Bertocci, c. Luciano, r. g. Tranello, r. t. Allrecht, r. e. Donohue, q. b. Androske, 1. h. b. Rogan, r. h. b. Falco, f. b.

The leaders of the rival bands were a red- headed boy for us, and a flaming-thatched girl for Waltham. The girl looked like Clara Bow before she (Clara) decided to become a decided blond. Our opponents came from the “Watch City” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR -and our backs should have watched their passes. SIDELINES Bv Robert S. Miller I RECENTLY witnessed a wrestling match and was struck with the similarity of the scene of two pachyderma laboring in the referee’s hold and the sight of some of our student dancers doing the “four hundred.” Somerville High School has quite a giant tri- angle of coaches in Charles Dickerman, ex- Frinceton ace, and Robert Buckley and Mc- Kelvey, well-remembered players at Mt. St. Mary and Villanova, respectively. They might be called the “Big Three” of the instruction •department.

This company di- rect from the Memorial Theatre in Stratford, carry on the traditions of the old Globe Thea- tre in which the famous bard himself was once .an actor. 23 On Looking Wise (Continued from page 6) ing their ignorance discovered. A few people may rejoice in thinking they have succeeded in their attempt to look wise, because it gives them confidence in themselves, and this is very essential to them. Others think it good judgment to look wise. Business men who have earned the right to give their opinions, recommend the habit of looking wise. They consider it an asset. Study the face of someone whom you know well. Watch him attempt to look wise when real knowledge is shown on a subject. He will no doubt look comical to you, but your own attempt may prove to be even worse — it prob- ably is. You will find that it is useless to try to deceive others, for wisdom is knowledge practically applied and the only one whom most of you could deceive would be yourself.

The scenes we best remember Are touched by barren hand, The grayness of the sand dunes, The lead-like colored sky. The eerie cry of sea gulls. As, screaming, they skim by. And on the bluff it’s dreary, When you’re listening to the tide, When it’s moaning and dashing. And you wonder what’s inside That briny, lashing tide, In somber, sad November. I Gone is the tender beauty Of roses and the dew, And naught is left but bareness, And a mem’ry of the blue Skies that were bright above us, Are gone now ’till the Spring. Gone with old November. Even in this somberness, We stop for thanks and pray’r. Because there is a Power, With whom our trails we share, In somber, sad November. 1 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 Two Bronze Tablets COLD BRONZE TABLETS — two of them — fastened to a lifeless, unsympa- thetic wall — one on either side of the main entrance to the High School. Though, time and again, we have been told what the names on one and the pledge on the other mean, we hardly ever keep the though t in mind long enough to realize what they stand for, because, true to natural tendency, we want to forget the horror that their memory brings back. And so these plaques remain there noticed, perhaps, by but a few who chance upon them accidentally. “Oh,” quoth the reader, “George Dilboy — why that's the boy for whom the ball field is named. Clayton Ellis — isn't our auditorium named in his honor?” And so our loiterer passes on. In an hour or so this same student should be listening to the algebra teacher, but instead the magnitude of the names which he scanned during his spare moment begins to sink in and what they really represent comes to life again. Amongst the “figures and formu- las” this youth has these mental reactions: What a lot of “spunk” George Dilboy must have had when he ventured out onto the bomb and fire-ridden field. We can’t call Clayton Ellis a seeker after adventure when he enlisted in the allied forces even before our country was drawn into the Great War. He was president of his class at Somerville High at the time of his enlistment and he realized, having been ac- claimed a leader, that his supporters believed he had unusual qualities. With this in mind, how could Clayton Ellis be so selfish as not to offer these in the tremendous struggle for harmonious existence? Those other boys who were stilled “Over There”, young, full of life, having everything to live for, no, they were not in it for the thrill of it. It seems to us that it was a crime to give up all of those young lives and you have heard the countless opinions to this effect, but a great problem was before them. The mighty Overseer expected this trying crisis to come and so He created men to triumph over it. Thus, we account for these boys, they had de- veloped to the stage in life where they were fit and eager to start on the Royal Road when their task abruptly presented itself. It was their chance to do their duty. Why should we feel that they were denied something when they really weren’t? Their part was done and they passed on to be rewarded just as we are when our work, though it may take years to complete, is done and we enter His kingdom. There is a great situation to be met at pres- ent which may be termed a result of the World War. And the student of today is confronted with problems of peace which themselves are very vital. The algebra student continues to meditate — this depression is ours to solve and to solve in such a manner that our coun- try and the world will be bettered as a result of its experience. What a queer universe this would be, today, if America had not been discovered; yet, the actual discovery was a result of “Columbus’ Dreams” and I wager that, if other successes were carefully traced, we would frequently learn that long periods of thought preceded any express action. It is on these grounds that I defend our “dreamer” in his algebra class. Surely the boys whose names appear on the bronze tablet “saw visions and dreamed dreams” and we are proud of the inheritance they left us. Shouldn’t we sometimes stop to read their names and the motto of our school on the tab- let across from the bronze memorial, “Honor and Progress” and feel that these two deserve a moment of reflection? W. C. R. 38 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR WEBSTER DEBATERS PREPARE FOR COMING PROGRAMS PLANS have been formulated at the Som- erville High School for the opening of forensic activities. The Webster De- bating Society has made plans for a series of lecture-debates before various fraternal or- ganizations, and also for inter-class and inter- scholastic debates. In preparation for these affairs, members of the society will hold trials during the ccming month to decide upon the final contestants. The first of these debates will be an inter- class debate between the Sophomore and Junior classes. Members of the society of these two classes held trials on Friday, November 13, in preparation for the final debate to take place in the near future. It also has been announced by the moderator, Mr. Donahue, that the first of the series of interscholastic debates will be held in the early part of January. Already negotiations have been made with a nearby high school by a public debate committee, composed of Rae An- derson, James Smith, Carl Engstrom and George Tierney. The officers of the society for the first term of the 1931-1932 season are: President, Rae An- dersen ; vice-president, James Smith; secretary, Carl Engstrom; treasurer, Mr. Philbrick; first marshal, Mr. Green. The meetings of the Webster Debating So- ciety are held weekly, on Wednesday at 2.30 P. M., in Room 313, the Science Library. Weekly debates are included on the program of the society. The membership has nearly reached its quota of fifty members. Carl Engstrom, Secretary. Have a pleasant Thanksgiving Day! Don’t eat too much turkey and pumpkin pie, it might affect your brain. Have you subscribed to the Radiator as yet and if you have, is it paid for? Don’t feel too badly about those C’s and D’s, will you? You know there is still adequate time to re- place them with A’s and B’s, so cheer up! UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF IN SOMER- VILLE With winter approaching, the unemployment problem takes on a more sinister aspect. Som- erville in the past has done a great deal of relief work and intends to continue to do so as long as it will be necessary. Last year, over $15,000 was distributed to the needy of Somerville. This money was al- lotted to various charities, such as the Salva- tion Army, Red Cross, Catholic charities, and Associated charities, by Somreville’s Unem- ployment Relief Committee, headed by John J. McNally. The committee felt that these organ- ized charities already in contact with the needy, could carry on the relief work better than any committee attempting new contacts. At present, the relief work is in charge of the public welfare department of the city and any able bodied man, applying for aid, is put to work about the city at the rate of $5.00 per day, three working days, weekly, being the limit. The number of days’ work allowed the needy man is reckoned by the number of de- pendents on him. A new committee, now in the process of formation, will be part of President Hoover’s country-wide relief plan. This committee will arrange for a community chest drive on a desig- nated day towards the end of November when I he people will not be asked to contribute to individual charities, but to a community chest fund. It takes no genius in mathematics for you to figure out just how far $15 a week goes in the household of a large family. We all know it won’t go far and therefore it is with this thought in mind that we ask you, on the day of the Community Chest Drive, to do everything in your power to make it success- ful so that relief work may be even more far- reaching. D. O’B. •5 -I- The Community Chest Drive is on. Are you doing your part to help the other fellow out? To these of you who are not satisfied with the Radiator! Let us know just what pleases you and what doesn’t. We assure you that our aim is to put out a good, all-round paper. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 39 The Rich Student By Julia Saparoflf, ’32 T y If HE warm sun shone a bright disk directly over the University buildings at Liege, and indicated that it was noon. No sooner had it settled there, than students began to issue from its doors. First, a merry young man. bubbling over with spirits, came out, then a serious gentleman, his brows puckered as he considered some philosophical point, next a bewildered chap who in vain was turn- ing over a mathemati- cal problem in his mind, and then a mild professor with a green bag in his hand (for the custom had even penetrated there) came into view. And so they come. Behold the learned of Belgium! At last the one we are looking for appeared. His hair was long and Dutch-clipped, and he wore a long cloak after the fashion of the an- archists. Medium-sized, thick-set, he had a low forehead, beak-like nose, and thick mus- tachios twirled upward jauntily. Despite these masculine features, his chin was delicately chiseled, and he possessed a pair of eyes of which any woman would be proud. Soft, deep, lusterful, they were two pools of darkness. It was the Italian in him, people said half envi- ously, half-scornfully. He was rather ugly, this Giuseppe Carmo, except for those Italian features. The ensnaring villain, you think, but you are wrong. He is the hero, the best we can afford. This, our hero, straightened his tie, smoothed his suit, and pulled out a gold watch. He watched the sun play on it, passed an en- dearing hand over it, and placed it back in his pocket. “Conrad was very kind to lend me this.” WE ARE ON OUR WAY, ASSURED OIUSKI’UK. Then he went on. He wound his way in and cut the dusty street of the university town for a while. Then he stopped before an up- to-date restaurant. He again straightened his clothing, sighed, and walked in. As he entered, the rich proprietor, sleek, well-fed, greeted him with great volu- bility. “Oh, M o n s i e u r Carmo, my wife and I thought you would never come. Please flatter us again to-day with your company at dinner.” Giuseppe bowed. “Indeed you are very kind to invite me,” he murmured. They entered a back room where the pro- prietor’s family dined. He exchanged saluta- tions with the proprietor's substantial wife and pretty daughter. Jeanne Fleckelle was a slim beauty with golden hair and grey eyes. They ate their dinner while Monsieur Flec- kelle talked incessantly and said nothing. Giuseppe gazed at Jeanne. He had known these people three months and every day’s events had been the same. What a pretty wife she would make! He would graduate this month — then .... His thoughts wandered far away — to his family — mother dead, sister just toddling, father working. He did not know the impressing picture he made — he was barely conscious of the lively proprietor. But madame thought he was thinking of castles, and villas, and gardens, and parks, and hunt- ing, and a thousand princely amusements. He was rich, she thought. For had she not seen him carelessly flaunting one thousand franc notes the first time he had entered the restau- rant? And like all French mothers she thought that this wealthy gentleman would be a good 40 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR match for her daughter. And so, incidentally, had Giuseppe intended her to think. Giuseppe came back from his day dreams with a start. Monsieur Fleckelle had stopped for breath. Giuseppe recalled himself. An- xiously he consulted his watch. One o’clock! His next class was at 1.15. “Well, monsieur! It is time for me to go — my class.” His watch slipped through his fingers. It fell on to the table. Mademoiselle gasped a little “Oh!” The crystal was broken. He felt a twinge of sorrow for Conrad. “It is quite all right. I have another watch — a much better one.” He was probably re- ferring to his roommate Michael’s watch. “May I pay you?” Giuseppe asked in an ex- tremely delicate tone. “What a bore you are!” madame exclaimed. “We really haven’t change for that thousand franc note,” Jeanne murmured and smiled naively. “Monsieur, good-bye. Madame, Made- moiselle, good-day.” He bowed gracefully. He clicked his heels, whirled, and disappeared through the door. This was his favorite exit. It had a rather military twang to it. On his return to the university, he sought out his roommate Michael. “Here’s the thousand franc note. A thou- sand thanks. I dined again to-day with mon- sieur, the proprietor. I did not have to pay.” “How long is this to last?” asked Michael. “Last winter you borrowed a thousand franc note from the bank, went to the restaurant, spent five francs, and sent the whole place scurrying to find change for you. You re- turned nine hundred and ninety-five francs out of the note to the bank and added five francs from your allowance. And so it has gone ever since. Monsieur thinks you are rich, invites you to dinner, madame . . . Well, it’s a fine hoax, and who but you could work it?” Giuseppe smiled. “You know the proverb: ‘Everything’s fair!’ By the way I broke Con- rad’s watch. May I borrow yours to-morrow?” “What!” said Michael sharply. “Certainly not.” Giuseppe’s eyes looked at him — deep. inquiring, resentful. Michael felt suddenly abashed, stingy. “Well, all right,” he said. “Good old Michael! Thanks! With that watch I’ll be a super-millionaire,” Giuseppe cried. Three months later, Mr. and Mrs. Giuseppe Carmo were in Rome. “And now we are here, my dear,” said Jeanne, “I would like to see your city home. I can imagine it . . . tall, stately, of white marble, court inside ... a veritable mansion.” “It is a mansion. My father’s kingdom.” “Kingdom? Lo, how whimsical! A castle. I presume, on the city’s outskirts.” “Come and see.” Giuseppe hired a cab. They drove through narrow, rambling streets where the tops of the houses protruded, and left but a scant yard between the two rows. A few rays of sun- shine filtered through, and showed up in re- lief the dust, the grimy faces of the bright- eyed urchins who stared as they passed. “Why come through this — the poorest sec- tion of the city?” Jeanne asked petulantly. I wish to see your castle — not these hovels.” “We are on our way.” Giuseppe’s soft chin took on a determined aspect as he stared straight ahead. They rode on. They entered a street where the mud was a foot deep at the curbs, and where the children wallowed. “Stop here!” he ordered the driver as he paid his fare. He helped his wife out. They stood before a broken-windowed hovel, where a bit of blackboard was hung out as a sign. On it, ages ago, “Sarto” (tailor) had been written, but now only a faint “S—t—” was discernable. Giuseppe rapped at the door as they entered. It was a dim room where one solitary sickly ray cf sun from somewhere gleamed as though im- prisoned. An old man sat cross-legged on the table. Thin and scrawny, he bent over a piece of cloth with his dim eyes following the thread. A pale-faced girl, about four years old, with light brown hair and dirty clothes toddled around. The old man looked up.

There is one jug like a stout old man. To sit and look at him is to become placid, an onlooker at life. He is such a jolly old fel- low, and the years haven’t cracked his china smile. It’s defi- nitely a twisted smile, not a grin or a leer. If you are grave, he bids you smile; if you frown at frivolity, he bids you frolic with your friends; if you cry and are sad, he bids you cheer up. His philosophy is simple — smile. Part of his smile may be for his companion jug, his “alter ego”. He smiles, this other fat man weeps; the first is jolly, the other is melancholy; one wears a red waistcoat, the other dresses in sombre, drab grey. He may have been a vinegar jug. The two jugs have not always been together. The story goes that the merry one was made by a poor old maker of plain mugs. He had never attained success; all his life he had made plain china mugs. This fat gentleman was his only fanciful product. A country squire bought the jug and had it placed in his parlor. The mournful jug, however, was the work of a cynical young man, with life before him. His uneventful youth had not been unduly dis- mal. Poverty had not forced him to jug-mak- ing. The jug was sold to a Russian sedition- ist, who had been attracted by it. It is remarkable that neither jug has suf- fered from the passing of time. The jolly jug- man’s plump waist is still just as bright and red; the grey on the other has not faded a whit. It remains as gloomy as when the young cynic designed it. My friend, the candy manufacturer, values these two jugs more highly than the rest of his collection, calling them “Toby” and ” He is always introducing them to his guests. They are his “lares and pen- ates.” Very odd little jugs, sitting together on his mantel! The sad thing- is that the first jug- will always smile, the.- second, always weep. Even though one smashed them to a thousand pieces, there would still be a smile, in fragments, and the scattered remnants of the- tearful countenance. Therein these jug-men are unfortunately inferior to the human race, which need not go through life with turned- down lips, like the sad jug-man. There in lies a moral. Each of the jug-men has worn his expression for decades. Man need not, indeed, keep the expression he starts with; but the face he assumes most often will be the face which, eventually, he cannot drop. A WARNING By Breton J. K.

Boy, oh boy, how those teachers acted up. The more dignified they were before the party, the sillier they became as the party progressed. Before the festivities even began officially, Mr. St. Angelo was observed carrying jugs of cider into the gym. Ha-ha! there’s a scandal. How long has this been going on? Openly and brazenly too! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Promptly at 2.45, the guests began to as- semble. Mr. Avery was announced, and a few moments later his jaws were champing at a prodigious rate. He was chewing gum. “Sir, report down in my room at 2.00 o’clock.” In revenge he ordered all of our dignified fac- ulty to chew gum. Wow! you should have been there, it looked like my fiercest nightmares of the girls’ new oratorical society. Jaws to the right of me, Jaws to the left of me, Chawing in unison. At this point Mr. Hosmer attempted to find out who among those present had a nut (you know, shelled nut, not the kind you’re thinking of).

He started to walk down the station platform toward the trains when he saw another boy of his age sitting on another bench, looking at a magazine. Johnny sauntered over and with a superior air asked: “Whatcha doin’ here, huh?” Billy looked up and with the same tone answered: “Same thing you are.” Johnny sat down beside him and started the “I — am — better — than — you — are” type of conversa- tion that young fellows like so well. They had just come to the “my — father — can— lick — your— father” part and each boy was looking at the other with scorn and something almost like hate in his eyes, when Billy’s father came along. “Well, son,” he said: “I am glad that you found some one to keep you company while I was getting the tickets.” Just then Johnny’s father came walk- ing towards them from the opposite direction. Johnny,” he said, “it is almost time for our train.” When he noticed Billy’s father he stepped. The two men looked at each other, open-mouthed, and then a warm, lengthy hand shake began.

Block SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 43 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Round the World in Books ITH exhibits of books from and about foreign countries, we celebrated the annual “National Book Week” in our school library. The interest awakened be- tween November fifteenth and twenty-first in traveling around the world in books urges me to offer these further:— “North Pole”, by Robert E. Peary and “South Pole”, by Roald E. G. Amundsen. “Through the Brazilian Wilderness”, and “African Game Trails”, by Theodore Roose- velt. “Letters of Travel”, by Rudyard Kipling. A most readable account of a trip through Germany is “Blue Rhine, Black Forest”. As the title suggests, it was written by a poet. In the book Louis Untemeyer includes one of his own poems, “Disenchantment” and several translations from the German. In Byways of Paris”, Georges Cain has linked the historical significance with descrip- tions of the modern byways of the famous city. There are more than a hundred illustrations that add to the attractiveness of the book. For “traveling” in November Catherine Ful- lerton Gerould's colorful scenes and impres- sions in “Hawaii” prove most inviting since “The remembered sweetness of Hawaiian voices has haunted each sentence as it was written; palms should droop over each pager, the white Pacific surf should beat around' every margin”, as the author writes in her preface. Several references are made to ob- servations and opinions of R. L. S. “In the South Seas” is told at greater length by Rob- ert Louis Stevenson the customs, the super- stitions and the life in general of the island- ers. “White Shadows of the South Seas” and “Mystic Isles of the South Seas”, by Frederick O’Brien are studies of the same enchanted region. Even Mark Twain, “our foremost laughing philosopher”, found the island an at- tractive theme. In “Roughing It” there are several vivid sketches of Hawaii. In “Life on the Mississippi”, “Innocents Abroad”, “A Tramp Abroad”, and “Following the Equator” one is led around a world entirely different from that made up of countries in guide books. You cannot but enjoy such a trip in the com- pany of the philosophic humorist. This leads us to the conclusion that it is not only books classified under the heading of “travel”, but also the background of the stories of Kipling, Tolstoy, Dickens, Conrad, and Henry James are frequently gateways to distant lands. 44 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR COMMONPLACE ARTIST By Phyllis Down, ’32 I am no artist; I could not paint a picture of such peerless beauty That people would stand awed by its loveliness; I am no sculptor; I could not mold a figure of such matchless grace It seemed a figure poised for immortality; Yet; I can see beauty in a rain-drenched garden I can feel rapture, standing in the dawn I can sense tears behind a robin’s love-song Or stand a-tiptoe at the wild grace of a fawn I can hear soldiers’ feet behind war music Be humbled by the service of a wife, So God, I pray Thee — make my soul of beauty So I can love the little things of life. GOD’S PROMISE By Brendan A. Finn, ’33 God has not promised skies ever blue — Flower-strewn pathways always for you; God has not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain; But God has promised strength from above Unfailing sympathy, undying love. ODE TO A CLOCK By Irene Corbeil, ’34 On the way to Somerville High Is a clock that I go by Every morning, with a sigh. I don’t like its dismal face Timer of my daily race Urging me to faster pace. O how happy I would be Only once its hands to see Pointing to eight twenty-three! Gilded hands at half past eight Indicate my wretched fate; To my horror — I am late! Cool despite the scorching rays Just the same on rainy days, Visible it always stays. O proud clock upon the hall, Pride precedes a nasty fall, So some day I hope you’ll be. Wretched as you’ve oft made me. MY MASTERPIECE By Joseph E. Panza. ’32 Once in a golden hour, A thought springs up in me. Quickly I take my pen in hand. And set it down with glee. I take my little masterpiece, When all in black and white. Proudly I glance it thru and thru, And beam in sheer delight. Here I put a little mark; There I add a phrase. Now and then erase a bit, To clear away the haze. Then I take myself away. My masterpiece in hand. Present it to my dearest friend, As I my chest expand. Patiently I wait the praise, I know will come my way. But he just hands me back my thought. His laughter spoils my day. In the basket with a sigh, I throw my little thought. Just another masterpiece The world must do without. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 45 A Page of Impromptu Verse One of our English teachers, after she had assigned the lesson for the following day, told the members of her class that she had a pleasant surprise in store for them; that they might spend the next few minutes writing verse. Twenty minutes of the period remained. The class went to work and the following poems writ- ten in those few minutes were considered worthy of publication in the Radiator. They are printed with- out the least correction:— WRITING POETRY By Dorothy Coburn, 33 Some call this easy, Some call it quite hard, Some feel more prosy, I feel like a bard. A SAIL By Dorothy Coburn, 33 1 took a sail one summer night. Which filled my heart with great delight. 1 watched the sun go down, Beyond the little town. I watched the moon up-rise. To guide us, from the skies. I watched the stars creep out. To see what was about. It was a lovely sail, Since there was not a gale. THE TROPICS By Louise Coates, 33 Tis the moonlight in the tropics, ’Tis the heavy fragrant air, And the murmuring star-lit waters, To which nothing can compare. Tis the music of the tropics, Floating softly through the air. Played on moaning steel guitars, To which nothing can compare. ’Tis the Southern sunsets With red and golden flare, Giving way to other beauties, To which nothing can compare. MOTHER By Mary Hutchings, 33 There is on earth no one dearer to me than Mother, Mother, who bravely and silently bears her part. No one whose devotion is so loyal and true No love that can equal the love of Mother. THE DEATH OF SPRING MAGIC OF THE MOON By Dorothy M. Silver. 33 By Marion G. Pushee, ’33 Twas only a scene in a lonely vale In the cold dreary month of November. The ground was colored — a brown-grayish hue Yet a beauty was there to remember. As I stood on the sands at evening And gazed on the open bay, The moon rose up from the horizon Heralding the close of day. The sky was desolate — ne’er one speck of blue. The air with sweet sounds did not ring. Twas sad, oh, so sad to see at a glance The birth of Winter and the death of Spring. It cast its rays on the rippling waves And in its path I did see Riding at anchor, a tiny sailboat Lone sentinel of the sea. 46 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1931 IT LAINE EDMUNDS is a Freshman at I j Jackson College.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 47 DIGNITY TAKES A DAY OFF (Continued from page 42) ing nut, Mr. Hosmer, but that would not have done any good anyway as nobody present had a nut. Mr. St. Angelo is a well-known follower of sports. He was seen over in one corner of the gym demonstrating his pitching ability to Mr. Giroux and Miss Browne, using a pumpkin as a ball. He’s not so good though as he almost bounced the pumpkin off a bystander’s head. While this was going on other members of the “distinguished and dignified faculty,” (haw! haw! they can’t kid us with that line any more, we know them now), were trying to whistle after having downed a nice, sweet, delicious, toothsome common cracker! The crumbs were left for the unemployed pigeons, while Miss Paul puffed and steamed, to no avail, for five minutes before giving up. Muffled cries were rending the air! A ter- rible scream rang out! The gallant men rushed to rescue the maidens in distress who had penetrated the depths of the “Chamber of Horrors”! But they rushed right out again, the demoiselles on their heels. They reported that there was a door knob on the room which, when touched, first hypnotized you and then knocked you right down stairs. (The current is pretty strong in the gym.) Every time I think of that hasty retreat, heh—heh, it’s a wonder they didn’t kill themselves in the rush. Mr. Moulton now brought his superb, mag- nificent, superman strength to the fore, and demonstrated how he, the mighty -------- could throw a balloon farther than any one else. He took the blue ribbon. Mr. Obear, you realize, is scientific. Miss Moses, strictly speaking, is distinctly not. How- ever, they, along with other contestants, tried to feed each other a bowl of corn-flakes while blindfolded. Mr. Obear located Miss Moses’ mouth with some success while she reciproca- ted by feeding him corn-flakes down his neck. Oh—oh! Can’t you just feel them crunching around under your shirt? Doughnuts were tied to a string and teach- ers were invited to eat them without using their hands. Mrs. Foster did so much sprightly stepping before getting a bite, someone sug- gested she be called “Sparrow.” Mr. O’Lough- lin was under the mistaken impression that he was a contortionist. He tried to feed him- self with his shoulders! Miss Hannon walked eff with the grand prize, another doughnut. Now, however, the tide could be stemmed no longer and a grand rush was made for the refreshments. You may wonder why I don’t sign my name here, but you know I’ve mentioned names and according to the old slogan: “Self-preserva- tion”. —A. E.. FATHERS MAKE FRIENDS (Continued from page 42) haven’t seen you since our college days”, were heard. The two boys looked into each other’s eyes and grinned sheepishly in quite a different manner. The meek “Hi ya” following was amusingly different from their previous boasts. 48 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A TRIBUTE TO THE WAR DEAD ON the evening of November 13, the Bos- ton Centre of the British Poetry Soci- ety held a meeting in commemoration of Armistice Day. Eight Somerville High School students were chosen to read poems in connection with this tribute to the war dead. The pupils chosen were the following: Rae An- derson, William Pigott, Anna Farren, Eliza- beth O’Leary, Barbara Mansfield, Allan Callow, Lawrence Levinson and Dorothy Anderson. •I SOPHOMORES WELCOMED On October 23rd, the school hall was filled by a “large and appreciative audience”. It was the Sophomore Class enjoying an enter- taining and instructive program given by the Student Council. Robert Hayes, president of the class of 1932, greeted the newcomers to our fold in an ad- dress entitled “The Student Council Welcomes the Sophomore Class”. Then Phyllis Atkin- son, Senior Class secretary, talked on “The Student Council and Co-operation”. The ob- ject of these two speeches was to acquaint the listeners with the Student Council, its work, and its relation to the school. The program continued with the well-known composition of George Gershwin, “Rhapsody in Blue” with Irving Murray playing the piano and David O’Brien as reader. The rendition of “The Swallow” by a string quartet made up of George Bragdon, Aaron Hershkovitz, Ezra Hershkovitz, and Edgar Wy- man was enjoyed by all. Stanley Lindh and William Tesson dedicated their part of the program to the alumni. They played “Now That You’re Gone” on their trom- bones. Victor Herbert’s much loved “Kiss Me Again”, from “Mile, Modiste” was George Brag- don’s cello solo. Most every audience receives this piece enthusiastically so it is needless to say how much the Sophomores enjoyed it. The attention of the audience returned to William Tesson who gave a trombone solo, “Stardust”. Doesn’t Mr. Tesson play well, though? Some remarkable original compositions for the piano given by Irving Murray were ex- cellent. We wonder if Irving won’t be a “man of the Ivories” someday. If so, he should have no trouble drawing and holding an audience. James Smith closed the program with a speech on “Student Organization”. This sort of “Welcome Program” was a new experiment this year and judging from the manner in which it was received by the Class of 1934, the Student Council will endeavor to arrange a similar greeting in coming years. PLAYERS’ CLUB On October 16th, a tentative program for the coming year was presented to the club. Among the events listed were a teacher’s party, a public play, and a marionette show. Definite dates will be announced later. On Thursday afternoon, October 29, the club was host to all the teachers of the school at a Hallowe’en party. The teachers all cast aside dignity and spent a very enjoyable afternoon. Committees on arrangements were headed by Rosamond Reiser, David O’Brien, Beatrice No- brega and Stella Davis. Part of the year’s program is to include in- struction in various branches of dramatics. Classes in stage lighting, directing, and make- up have been organized for this purpose. The stage lighting class is to be under the leader- ship of our president, Henry Syer, directing under the leadership of our own director, Miss Ellison and make-up under the leadership of Miss Sutherland who, as it is well known, is very proficient in this line. The members eagerly look forward to a very successful and beneficial year. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 49 PINE WHISPERS, Richard J. Reynolds High School, Winston Salem, North Carolina. “Dot Dix’s Grandma” is a very humorous column. We look forward to read- ing it. CITIZEN, Curtin Junior High School, Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Yours is the cover of the month. Pho- tographs give “The Citizen” a degree of complete- ness. TATLER, Boys’ High School, Atlanta, Georgia. A most enjoyable paper and rightly named. PINE NEEDLE, Rapid City High School. Rapid City, South Dakota. A very “newsy” paper. “Gridiron Dope” is quite an unusual column. RECORD, Huntington School, Boston, Massachu- setts. You certainly give plenty of space to sports. The jokes in the last number we received were ex- tremely clever. COLLEGIAN, Massachusetts State College, Am- herst, Massachusetts. We got no end of amusement when we read the “Picaroon” column. A Bit of Foreign Exchange We print on this page suggestions for an adven- ture story which have been compiled by four pupils in the Holt Secondary School of Liverpool, England. We are planning to send back to these pupils at an early date a co-operative adventure story from this side of the Atlantic. A Co-operative Adventure Story Outline of plot concocted from various suggestions: A young Englishman, out of work, restless. Works ■way across in ship starting from Liverpool, bound for South America. Shipwreck near mouth of Amazon. Gets ashore with wrong suitcase; owner perished. Discovers in case documents referring to treasure hidden in temple in Chilean desert; belongs to owner of estate in Argentine (cattle, etc.). English- man crosses South America from Amazon to Chile. Arrives on border of desert at night. Seeks shelter in ruined building; in morning discovers it to be temple. By means of directions finds treasure chamber. Treasure gone. A single jewelled bracelet all that re- mains. Leaves temple. Sees near, kind of native en- campment. Barters bracelet for food. Half-breed in encampment contrives to entrap Englishman into temple. Leaves him, as he thinks, to die. Half-breed had previously seized treasure for himself. Afraid Englishman has discovered this and will betray him. Englishman escapes from room (counterpoise of stones). A long secret passage. Out on mountain. END. Recovers treasure. Villain disposed of. (native), (landslide), (rock disaster)? enthusiasm strictly broad arrange remain Treasure taken to estate. Finds girl mistress of estate.

Brother returning on same ship as that Englishman working on. Lost life in shipwreck. Englishman got hold of his suitcase. Half-breed was servant on estate who had heard rumors of treasure and had stumbled on secret of temple. Girl makes Englishman manager of estate in grati- tude for discovering fortune. Subsequently, marries her and becomes head of estate. I'oints To Be Discussed: (1) Whether possible to sail from Liverpool to Amazon. What ship he would sail on. What would be his work. What are ports of call. How long voyage takes. (2) Position and reason of shipwreck. Where comes ashore. How he makes his way across South America. Peoples, country, climate of journey. (3) Old race who had temples close to North Chilean desert (Incas)? Name of priests. Type of surroundings. Natives. Who live there now. Whether old race had hieroglyphics.

Possible reference books:— “The Lost World”, Conan Doyle. “The Last of the Incas”. 50 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR CLASS NOTES 1932 Just a few lines to let you know that I am still thriving. When you read this, however, I shall have received my report card, then I’ll begin striving. (Perhaps . . .) The Webster Debating Society crashed the front page the other day. A delegation from that honor- able organization went down to debate with a Revere High School debating team. And the laff — it turned out to be the Girls’ Arguing Team. (A challenge even to our fine debaters — not in logic, but in volume . . . .) But at that I hear that Rae Anderson and Jimmie Smith had a good time .... a marked degree that those same officers have been- twice re-elected! We have a hard year ahead of us,, and we need the good leaders we have chosen. Here's hoping for a most successful year! The Rindge affair — Somerville’s got to win. Fifty cents is too much money for a class editor to lose all at once. Warren Russell did a fine job on his first issue- Not a little credit is due Arnold Black for the ex- cellent cover he designed. Whenever you see a success- ful enterprise, look for a Senior every time! The new Bing Crosby program. Too much adver- tising ballyhoo. The new Carl Fenton Orchestra very good. The programs as a whole not as good as before. And speaking of the W. I). S. that reminds me that I’m soon due to expound before that grave and austere body; and the subject on which I hold forth, some other such as “Lucy Lussier”, would be better qualified to speak on it, is: “Resolved, That the modern girl is more beautiful than the girl of 1879.” I have the affirmative side, incidentally. Don’t say I didn’t stick up for you, goils! Connie Eaton is now sporting a black eye—Adv. If anybody who heard Duke Ellington’s arrange- ment of “Stardust” while he was in the Met the week of the sixth still thinks that Duke hasn’t got a band, and how, then he should see a brain specialist. And how did you like that little trumpet player during “Nobody's Sweetheart” ? Here’s a prediction: What’ll you bet that we have a windy and unsettled Christmas this year? One of the pleasant sights I see each Sunday morn- ing on my strolls is Joseph Gormley delivering news- papers. Oh, yes, you’d never recognize Joe these days. It’s a new Joe. A Joe that is crazy (you said it) to work, an industriuos Joe, a more worthwhile Joe. But his work isn’t getting him anyplace. His work has only sunk him fuither into the mire, because Joe has consented to write a few lines for our next colyume. Watch for that December issue, along with Joe Leo Gormlcy’s copywrighted explanation of the Einstein Theory as applied to a common can of sardines. Our class officers re-elected to a man! Congratu- lations Bob, Jean, Phyllis, and Irving. It reflects credit on the class that its original choice of class of- ficers proved the advisability of that selection to such News for this column is very very scarce this month. Oh well, something will break soon. We’re expecting- daily to hear that Jap Parigian has blown up the gym, or perhaps set fire to Mr. Avery’s office. Until such events arrive I guess you’ll just have to keep on lis- tening to my prattling. “They laughed when I said I’d show them, but when. I entered with my darkened lamp------” A quotation from Connie Eaton’s new novel, “The Black Eye”.— Adv. Where Have I Heard That Before? Methinks my typewriter ribbon is wearing out — your patience. More truthfully, my nostrils are filled with the pleasant aroma of turkey, etc. Hope you’ll have a pleasant Thanksgiving. Harvard’s going to beat Yale, by the way. Well, until several million turkeys have gone the way of all fowl, I remain. Ye Editor of Ye Classic Noties. 1933 Back again and worse than ever, but if you stood it last time you can this time. I say worse than ever. I hope I’m wrong, because after reading “Introducing Us” the first Radiator 1 got busy and looked up my sleeve, in fact. I even ripped it open completely and this, I guess, is the result:— Those Players’ Club tryouts surely were a riot. But I discovered one thing that more of the foolish remarks came from the judge’s corner than from the “stage”. For instance at a very opportune moment, one member of the club cried out: “Come forth!” But she came fifth and lost out. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 51 Then those Sophs—they had just been giving us ex- amples of the “newly rich” and when they were told: “You now will enact a person who has been wealthy, for a long time. You know how to carry your wealth.” One bright one sang out: “In bags?” Occasionally the teachers prove that they, too, have a sense of humidor. I mean humor (strange as it may seem). Mrs. Topliff is accountable for the one about the American in England who wrote back home to his friend: “Today I was caught in a bit of sun- shine, so I immediately called a cab.” So maybe our New England weather isn’t so bad after all. There’s one time when I’m glad I don’t own a car, and that’s when I watch the cars go sailing by the corner of Lowell and Highland to the tune of a police whistle. Tsk! Tsk! Such doings. Tell the “cop” you were hurrying home to do your algebra and he’ll surely give you a ticket! We’re still trying to figure out whether this was sarcastic or not. Beatrice Lapidus complained to Mr. O’Loughlin that he assigned too many lessons of ancient history in too many outside books, greatly in- creasing the load a member of the class had to carry home, not to mention the wear and tear of trying to get to the library ahead of everyone else so as to be .sure and get a book. “The boys,” quoth she, “have, or are supposed to have strong arms, so that they don’t mind it, but we girls find it hard to carry such a pile of books!” “Why, Miss Lapidus,” said Mr. O’Loughlin, “in that case you should get some one of those strong boys you mentioned to carry your books for you.” In the same class we learned that Saturn was the God of Sewing! There were a number of good ones on the Romans in the Sunday Post’s “Boners” a few weeks ago. F’r in- stance :— “At the Roman festivals they ran races, jumped, threw the biscuits and hurled the java. The winner was crowned with a coral wreath.” “The Romans reclined on one elbow and ate wit � the other.” And there are still some pupils who think that a toga was a Roman overcoat. We had been discussing Roman wars and in response to a question Mr. O’Laughlin said: “Oh, they had no allies until the next lesson.” If the poor Romans had had to wait for us to absorb one lesson and get to the next, I’m afraid they’d have had no allies. When I think of the song: “Many Happy Returns”, it reminds me of the ex-convict’s wife who got a black eye for wishing her husband “many happy re- turns”. By the way, girls, when you hear the song “Faded Summer Love” doesn’t it make you think of the sum- mer acquaintance who hasn’t answered your letter yet. (and probably never will) ? And there's the clever pupil who called stucco “cul- tivated cement”. Yes, it was a Junior of course; didn’t I say “ a clever pupil”? How’s this, also an excerpt from “Boners”? Ques- tion: Correct the following. “The bull and the cow is in the pasture.” Answer: “The cow and the bull is in the pasture. Ladies come first. What shall we do with the pupil who in a chemis- try test said that hydrogen was used in fire extin- guishers. — Whew! Personals Shakespeare’s idea of a school boy — Charles Van Ummerson. Really, you should see Ernest Dobbins act like a lunatic as he did at the Players’ Club Junior tryout. Oh! Oh! (I’m running already, Ernie.) I think I’ll ask Walter Douglas to carry me to school some morning in his i xophone case. It looks as if it would be quite adequate. PAMOO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 52 Picture of genius — Alicelia Hoskins writing (?) a poem. And Pauline Bruneau chasing imaginary butterflies! I extend my heartiest sympathy to John I). Crim- mings for his unfortunate accident. I pity the article he hit more than I do John, though, really. Wait till you hear Doris Clark saying: “So help me, Hercules!” (quoting Cicero.) We were amused to hear James Card emphatically agreeing with Mrs. Topliff when she said that Amer- ican girls as a whole were spoiled and should be made to do things for themselves such as filling inkwells and picking up dropped books. And I heard other voices besides James’, too. This is so sudden! Like a little brook I’ve rambled on, but the water’s run dry — so if you know anything clever to start me going again — merci beaucoup. 1934 While a pupil in Mr. B.’s geometry class was at- tempting to enlighten his classmates he brought to light the here-to-fore unknown fact that “Two straight lines are required to make a point.” Heard in Miss W------’s French class: “Je sius dix anes” (donkeys). My, how remarkable! At least one of our classmates is willing to tell the truth about himself. We all enjoyed the pleasurable and instructive as- sembly program tendered us by the Student Council. The music was “peppy”, and we fell certain that we now have a far better understanding of the functions of our various student organizations. The Seniors who took part are to be congratulated and we only hope that as Seniors, we of '34 may give the Sopho- mores of our time such a warm reception and welcome. We heartily agree with Vice-President Smith, of the Webster Debating Society, that the traffic squad is the best known of the student organizations because of their own presence. Those present at the Medford game were simply dazzled by the brilliance of the red berets worn by the band and cheer leaders. At future games we feel confident that there will be little difficulty in locating these officials. However, the band as a whole is a very “snappy” outfit. Friends, Romans, Classmates, lend me your ears! Well, here we are again ready to roll off some more of our nonsense for your enjoyment (??). Great Talent Discovered in Latin Class!!! We expect that very soon McLean will accept a contract from either the Ringling Brothers or Sells- Floto Circus as the star clown. The Seniors certainly gave us a great welcome, that is through the Student Council’s entertainment. We wonder if they were ever poor, innocent little Sophs? Bragdon and Murray! What a team! Does Murray know his pano? All we’ll say is that you only need to hear him once to answer the question. (More about this later.) They all laughed when he started to work, but when the task was completed expressions of admiration and gratefulness spread over the countenances of everyone present. What had happened? Hill had put up a new pencil sharpener in Room 251. As my pen runs dry so do my notes and I beg your leave for another month. THE RICH STUDENT (Continued from page 40) “May I help you ?” he asked in a treble voice, then gaped at Jeanne. Not until then did Jeanne begin to fear. She scrutinized him, then the child. Deep dark eyes! The same! The old man looked at Giuseppe. His poor dim eyes flashed, his face lighted up, his mouth smiled, he was animated, lively! Giuseppe remembered all the books. Heroes of drama would turn, their eyes flashing, nos- trils quivering like those of a high-blooded Arabian steed, and cry — “This is my kingdom! My slaving father, my starving sister, the memory of my mother, all are here!” They would stretch their mighty arms to envelop the whole of the miserable hovel, they would swell with pride as they cried — “I am rich — rich — rich!” He smiled cynically, grimly. “Wanted to be an orator. Now I know I won’t succeed. Can’t find a thing to say.” He turned, bowed, as he said gently: “Jeanne, dear, this is my father!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 53 A TRIBUTE TO THE MEGAPHONE Rah! Rah!” Thunderous voices L}) roar this choppy cheer as a crew of cheer leaders, clad in red and blue, perform their ecstatic acrobatics before the High School football crowd. Cheer leaders add atmosphere to any school gridiron game. Their very attire is pictur- esque; the boys, wearing blue sweaters with contrasting white trousers and skilfully wield- ing the megaphones, the symbols of their office; the pretty girl leaders, saucy in their berets, sweaters and crimson skirts. They are the “pep distributors” of the games, and much of the students’ enthusiasm effervesces from them. Somerville’s cheer leaders are: Laurence Parr, Joseph Long, William Crotty, Kenneth Campbell, and the Misses Peggy Leahy and Helen London. Believe me, the old Dilboy games wouldn’t be the same without them. v 'I THE MEDFORD CONTEST Eighteen years ago Somerville defeated Med- ford High, but since then no representative red and blue team has emerged victoriously from one cf these annual tilts. Our 1931 eleven was no jinx breaker and left Fulton Field sup- porting the circular numeral of a 7 to 0 score. The first three quarters were battled on very even terms, but in the final stages of the game the opponents discovered their favorite passing and receiving company to be working in fine co-operation. These attacks through the air scored all the points. Falco, the steam roller of our Dilboy-hard- cned team, plowed through centre many times, while the remaining two, Duggan with Lynch and Chesterfield, respectively, ran the team and the ball quite cleverly. Our only vulnerable spot was the noticeable weakness against for- ward passes. But, anyway, just wait until next year. We’ll surely win then. Somerville Hayes, 1. e. Regan, Capt., 1. t.

CAMBRIDGE Conducting itself in true championship form, the Red and Blue “whitewashed” Cambridge Latin 16 to 0 in its primary Suburban League go. To quote from the much-quoted advertise- ment, “Chesterfield satisfies,” at least “Chet” speared two passes in plays which terminated in touchdowns. The remaining backfield honors were distributed among those accurate passers, Lynch, Androske and the line-cracking Falco. In the fourth period, the alert Regan, who, with his mate, “Herb” Murphy, was continually knifing the Cantab’s line, tackled La Ronde behind his goal for a safety (two points). And this is how our gridsters started on their way, I hope, to another League cup.

NEWTON, VICTIM NO. 2 Sir Isaac Newton discovered why apples fall, and the High School of Newton discovered how one’s winning hopes may fall. The reason for the first was, of course, a great force called gravity, and the reason for the second was a great force called S. H. S. team work. For, you see, Newton lost to Charlie Dickerman’s boys 7 to 0 in a Suburban League game. Billy Chesterfield excited everybody with his flashing play, especially when he escorted the pigskin, behind expert interference, eighty yards from a kick-off to the ten-yard stripe where he stumbled. After this our team wouldn’t be denied, and soon Pilot Donahue rocketed a pass to the speeding afore-men- tioned “Chet” who fell across the goal for a touchdown. Then “Donny’s” good old “size eights” booted the extra point to complete the scoring for the day. The remainder of the game was battled on even terms, but with our sturdy line repelling all serious advances. If this fine playing continues the eleven will surely snare another championship for the big school on the hill. Somerville Carlson, 1. e. Regan, Capt., 1. t. Tranello, 1. g. Bertocci, c.

C.’S LUCK October 31. Because the colors of B. C. High are orange and black — Hallowe’en colors — the witches and goblins, on their special day, cast favoring eyes on our rivals and, through a lucky “break,” they stole our ball game, 13 to 7. With one minute to play and the score fav- oring Somerville 7 to 6, an enemy back heaved a tremendous pass which just ricocheted off of the finger tips of our safety man into the arms of the surprised McDonough who managed to hold the ball and make the winning score for B. C. It was a punishment we didn’t deserve, for the forwards had played superbly, es- pecially that brace of rangy tackles, Mur- phy and Regan. Our backfield also clicked to- gether quite nicely.

We, the Post Graduates, inspired by ideals and other motives have returned to the fold. These times of depression are boons to the weary who want an excuse for doing nothing. There are those who are studying; who carry home huge loads of books and burn the mid- night oil, but I can safely say, there will not be any cases of brain fever in the ranks of the P. G.’s. However, the business in hand: We number among us several celebrities of former years. One, a notable example of ambition, is G. Clif- ford Stamper (1930), keeper of the keys, presi- dent of the G. C. S. School of Insectology. The esteemed Clifford is attempting his second P. G. The fame of Somerville spreads afar; David Annis of Boston Trade School, Elizabeth Murray of Newton, and Francis O’Leary of St. John’s High have heeded the call and have en- rolled in search of further knowledge. With us, in body as well as spirit, is that genial personality Arthur Morrison, dancer ex- traordinary. Unfortunately the number of Post Graduates, thirty-nine, forbids, indeed makes impossible in one issue, the thorough detailing of each individual’s history and aspi- ration (if any). Any one desiring a list of the P. G.’s may apply to Miss Hastings, who reigns supreme in the library. (Pronounced “brary” not “berry.”) We, the P. G.’s, will now endeavor to set the erring undergraduate in the path of glory which leads not to the grave but to gradua- tion. To the Seniors We will enjoy seeing your attempts to achieve the traditional aloofness and sophisti- cation of the Senior in High School. Ages have passed since we trod the corridors in the same spirit. Remember, many are the words of wisdom to be gained by appealing to a Post Graduate for guidance. At present it seems that the average undergraduate can not or does not readily recognize a P. G.; they have not yet attained the ability to appreciate true genius. Do your homework Seniors and never be caught doing anything that a Senior should not do. (Apply to me for itemized list). To the Juniors We realize that the Juniors are merely second-stage Sophomores, (’tis sad, but true), and should be treated as such. The second year of High School is advertised as the most difficult of the three years. (The first year, you don’t know what it’s all about; the second you work very hard; the third you rest (?) on your laurels, if any.) Study hard; do ALL your homework; copy the Seniors a little, and the P. G.’s a great deal and you will succeed. To the Sophomores Wee, sleekit, cowrin’ tim’rous beastie, “Oh, what a panic in thy breastie!” —R. Burns. It seems a shame that such children should be allowed to leave home at such a tender age. The foul tricks and jokes inflicted upon you by your elders all contribute to your worth- while development. Always honor the P. G.’s and remember they have weathered the same storm long ago (though they were never as bad as you are), and liked so much that they are back in the not-too ancient halls of learning for more punishment. Undergraduates Take Notice! The P. G. “noter” sees all, knows all. In the future notes, events of interest, personal- ities, etc. of all three classes will be brought to light as well as a few choice bits of humor. Until next issue live in expectancy. ’Ntik One great trouble with football is that you’re apt to get athlete’s foot on the neck. 56 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR We have come to the conclusion that bag- pipes are slightly worse than the saxophone, because the latter does stop howling as soon as they stop blowing into it.

Browning was born in 1812. He lived about eight years after the death of Shakespeare, and it’s possible that he might have seen this great man. He was not recognized for a long time after his birth in 1812. Stevenson wrote “Treasure Island” which is very famous in Junior Highs. He died of tuberculas (?) and he had to live near the water.

Pip HE CHRISTMAS SEASON — then an- other new year. Christmas time — windows wreathed and aglow with the mellow gleam of a lighted candle or two; slop- ing eaves and carved cornices cloaked in the fluffy garb of snow; Ringers calling out the merry tunes telling of the Birth of our Savior — suggestive of the season when all is for- given and forgotten. The time of year when we make merry and endeavor to think of others rather than of our own selfish wants. An opportunity for those of us who have been fairly successful during the past year to make those who have not fared so well a little hap- pier so they will feel that the world in general has not treated them so badly after all and that some one is still interested in them. With this inspiration they will charge past troubles to Fate and tear up those dull pages and start out with a bright new one on New Year’s Day. Let no face, old or young, be turned down on Christmas Day just because something has gone wrong or because Dad is out of work. We know there are countless cases where the home is without heat and the mother scarcely knows where the next meal is coming from. And then there are many of us who are going to have to do without the usual “shower of gifts’’ on the holiday, but we are not going to groan about it. are we? Nine limes out of ten, if we look around a bit we can find scores who are worse off than we ourselves. These are the ones to be looked after. Depression, depression, depression, that’s all we hear. Of course we are struggling through a period of depression and the going is difficult to say the least, but are we going to give up the ship, now? No. A similar situation has occurred numerous times in cur history and the people have out-lasted them then and so shall we today and in a like manner in the fu- ture, even though when we come out of one we resolve to be on the watch and avoid an- other. Gathering from what past records show and what authorities offer on the subject, it seems to me that it is but a matter of time before the dark cloud will lift and we shall look upon a bright horizon once more. In the meantime, however, the faith and spirits of the people must be kept soaring, for when faith disappears then there is no happiness without which no land can endure. Perhaps you know of a grownup or young boy or girl for whom Santa will be able to do very little this year, can’t you try and find just one? Take that one, with the disappointed look on his face, home with you and share your tree with him and then invite him to in- dulge in the goodies with which the Christmas dinner table is to be spread. And afterward, revealing his happy soul, the beaming smile upon your guest’s face will be just the nicest Holiday Gift any heart could desire. • Unbar your heart this evening And keep no stranger out, Wake from your soul’s great portal The barrier of doubt. To humble folk and weary Give hearty welcoming, Your breast shall be to-morrow The cradle of a King. —Joyce Kilmer. VV. C. R. 70 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Interviewing the Teachers By Evelyn Baton, ‘32 and Virginia Savage, '32 T WO of our teachers, namely, Mr. Rooney and Mr. Small, have had the experi- ence of teaching school in the Philip- pine Islands. Mr. Rooney taught English and Latin in the Ateneo High School in Manila, and a number of years before, Mr. Small instructed the students of the San Fernando School in English. The San Fernando School is in the city of Batangas in the province of that name. Mr. Small had the thrilling experience of seeing the Taal volcano in action. For many days before the eruption, according to his story, the ■citizens of the city of Batangas experienced numerous severe earthquakes which, although not serious enough to fell buildings, spread alarm among the people. One night, while Mr. Small was conversing with some American friends in the Plaza, the Taal volcano burst into fire. Clouds of gas and smoke were blown by the wind over the country side. Batangas being some miles distant from the scene of destruction suffered no harm, but for days af- terward the wind brought gas and dust from the direction of the ruined area. Before leaving the islands, Mr. Small estab- lished several schools in districts where there formerly had been none. He has been principal of three High Schools and once was supervisor of a district. For sixteen years he has taught in our own Som- erville High, and we wish him many more years of successful teaching. Now to get back to Mr. Rooney. He, too, has an interesting past. The pupils in his classes have perhaps heard him tell of his ad- ventures in the Philippines and they know how interesting it was for him to teach in a school so far from home and in such a strange set- ting. He has traveled through many parts of the Orient including Japan and China. For a short time he lived in the leper colony on the island of Molokai in the Hawaiian Islands. There are only two ways of reaching this col- ony, by sea or by a steep, treacherous trail down the mountainside, the latter being the route taken by Mr. Rooney. While he was a member of the faculty of the Boston College High School, Mr. Rooney taught English, Latin, Spanish and Greek. When he is lecturing, one of his favorite topics is education, and he certainly is well able to talk on such an important subject. Some of the pupils in this school have been fortunate enough to hear Mr. Rooney lecture at some of our club meetings and we are sure that those students look forward to hearing him again at some future date. A musician, lecturer, traveler and teacher, Mr. Rooney’s hobbies are varied, but he is very fond of oratory and is the founder of the Ed- mund Burke Oratorical Society for Girls in this school. Congratulations, Mr. Rooney, we hope that many years of good luck and hap- piness may be granted you. Miss Woodward is another of our faculty of interesting teachers. She is an extremely in- teresting conversationalist, acquainting her- self well with the affairs of the world. During the summer of 1925, Miss Woodward studied in the King’s College of London University, and in 1929 she took a course in international economics in Rotterdam, Holland. At the In- ternational Teachers’ Convention at Denver, Colorado, last summer, Miss Woodward met many teachers from foreign countries. One of her present ambitions is to attend the conven- tion in Honolulu next year. Traveling is one of her pet hobbies and she travels, bearing the thought of creating inter- national relationships in mind. Of all the in- teresting places she has seen she likes Alaska the best. As it is the nearest she has been to the midnight sun, the country holds a degree cf fascination for her. She has had the unique experience of arriving in an Alaskan town at one o’clock in the morning and finding the people all walking around and shopping as if it were late afternoon. An honorary member and chairman of a committee in the National Education Associa- tion, Miss Woodward is very well known in ed- ucational circles. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 71 Captain Barnes's Christmas Gift By Ralph J. Hossman, 34 I’M sorry Captain Barnes but those are my orders. You will be placed on the retired list December 26 and Lieuten- ant Danenhower will relieve you of your re- sponsibilities as commander of the Highgate Light Coastguard Station at that time. That is all. Good day, Captain Barnes”. Captain Jim Barnes, known by sailormen from one end of the Atlantic to the other and by nearly every person on the Cape from Provincetown to Onset, stood as if he had just received a stinging blow in the face. Retired from the service because he was too old. Why he wasn’t too old to save those four people on the Ellen May last winter when she piled up on Brandt Reef, but his service record said he was fifty-eight and the government said he was too old. An old man at fifty-eight. Why he could tell this young whippersnapper things about the coastguard that he, notwith- standing his three gold stripes, had never heard of, but Captain Barnes was tco well schooled in the customs of the service to say more than a barely audible “Yes, sir”. On the way back to Sandwich, Captain Barnes tried to interest himself in a paper he had bought at the station but it was useless, for his thoughts refused to remain on the printed matter but would involuntarily return to his impending retirement. Finally he laid aside his paper and gave himself up to his thoughts. By the time Captain Barnes reached Sandwich he had decided that life without the service was going to be pretty use- less and he planned to take his catboat, the Liverpool Packet, out for a sail Christmas morning as he so often did, but this time to head her out into the open sea and keep on sailing. Christmas morning dawned a dull foggy day with the barometer dropping steadily. Cap- tain Barnes was just finishing breakfast when Pete Barrows, the radioman, came in with a message from the S. S. American Trader ask- ing for a check on her position. “Captain Barnes, the nearest I could figure, her position was about one mile off Whaleback Reef and she seems to be steaming straight for the reef”. “For heaven’s sake, man, get on that key and tell ’em to put about and head out to sea”, cried Captain Barnes springing up from the table. “On your way tell the bo’sun to get the surfboat ready, I’m going up in the tower to see if I can see anything of her through this blamed fog”. Captain Barnes put his oilskins on. going up the ladder to the watchtower and when he reached the top of the tower he shouted to the man on watch to be on the alert for distress signals. Captain Barnes noticed that the ane- mometer was registering a wind velocity of ten miles per hour and gradually mounting. “Collins, I’m going down to the radioroom for awhile. The wind is picking up and it ought to clear up this fog in a few minutes, (Turn to Page 78) fvofi’if exflnsflHefiP -eur doht lct it 72 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR INTO THE REALM OF FLUTO By Allan Callow, ’34 IT was weird, mystifying, frightening beyond all words, so it seemed at least to Johnny. How he got here he didn’t know but ail that mattered to him was he was here and he didn’t like the place. The careless way in which those little sons of Satan were handling their giant “pickle stabbers” made him feel more like a pincushion than he knew he should. He had just crossed the Styx, that roaring racing torrent of bottomless depths, grinning up from which, with hideous faces, were those same imps of mischief and torment. The in- stant the shore was reached he had run for- ward to escape those awful prongs which un- fortunately were guided by extremely skillful hands. Breaking all past speed records, he ran full tilt into Cerberus, the three headed dog, who caught and held him while his pursuers caught up. Looking around during this brief interval, he saw in the foreground the shore of the Styx, while on the river itself a long line of foam sprayed out in trail of Charon’s sea-horse. Back c few hundred feet from the river, he beheld the court of justice with Rhodamarthus and Minos in its midst. In the distant back- ground he could see the fires of Tartarus flar- ing up, like some huge blast furnace, through the dark. When his time came he was roughly seized and dragged before the court. As his sentence was being imposed, the figures before him gradually receded back into thin Stygian dark- ness and with a cry of terror he fell at the feet of the judges in a dead faint. The door of his room opened, the light flashed on. He awoke in a sweat. His mother, wondering what was the cause of his night- mare, glanced at the floor. The object which met her vision was a book entitled, “Classical Myths That Live Today’’. IN MEMORIAM Just as the Radiator goes to press, and just as the Christinas season begins, we are saddened to record the sudden death on December 6, of one of our classmates, James Prescott. He made an excellent record while a member of the student body and will be missed by teachers and pupils alike. Christmas In Other Lands IN SUNNY ITALY By Elizabeth Guarrnaccia, Teacher of Italian at Somerville High School We are now in Itaiv and ever so curious to know just how Christmas is celebrated. In order to see the observances as they really are, we will enter an Italian home, remaining there throughout the most joyful of all holidays. We are welcomed into the pleasant home by the housewife who promises that we shall really feel the Christmas spirit with her fam- ily. The days before Christmas have been given over to making preparations for the great holiday. The nativity scene has been depicted with terra cotta and wax figures in a conspicu- ous corner of the living room and sweets and delicacies, peculiar to the section of the coun- try we are visiting, have been made. On Christmas eve going to bed is hardly thought of. The early part of the evening is spent in calling on relatives and friends, in receiving callers, and in playing “tombola’’, a game played with cards and nuts. The shrill, weird notes of bagpipes are heard and groups of men, young and old, are seen slowly strolling through the streets singing old songs, which have been handed down from generation to generation, telling the story of the birth of the Christ Child, usually in dialect and sung in the original monotonous tunes. Exactly at midnight special services are held in every church where the image of the Christ Child is shown. Old and young, dressed in holiday best, desert homes and streets to go to church and worship before the image of the “new born babe.” Af- ter the services the people return and continue to celebrate Christmas eve in their respective homes. On Christmas morning, joy of all joys, the bells of every church are heard, and eager children who wish to know of the mother’s preparations for the day, are out of their beds. The mother greets them with a “Merry Christ- mas” and the children start for Grandma’s house where they are sure to find a treat: a small coin, perhaps, or a pure white sugar candy lamb. Dinner time is the most exciting time of the (Continued on Page 81) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 73 “My Ankle's Gone Again” By David O’Brien, ’32 BLINN was fighting hard now. Summervill had the ball on their five-yard line and it looked like another score. “45 — 6—28—7, shift! 1—2—3— Go”! barked Dunne, the quarter. A hole big enough for a subway appeared in the centre of the two lines and Finch, the big Summervill fullback, easily spun through for the score. It was just another game for the power- ful Summervill outfit which Coach Charlie Dickson had moulded. Big teams had been scarce at Summervill of late and Charlie had resolved to get the most out of this one. He overheard the newspaper boys and smiled contentedly. “What a hole! Boy, did you see that”? whistled Doyle, of the Post. “Say, with that line Dickson’s worries are over and Boy! what a pair Tranell and Bertarch made”. “Y(u said it, Jack”, added Payson of the Sun, “Charlie’s got the potential stonewall right with those two”. The other boys each nodded assent and went back to totalling the Summervill score. It now looked like another six points were to go down on the books for a forward, Dunne to Shea, had again put the ball in scoring position. “The same play now, fellers”, whispered Dunne in the huddle. Signals rattled forth, the hole appeared and Finch again was over. But a limp form lay on the field and at sight of it Dickson was on his feet with a frozen stare. The doctor and the water-boy rushed toward the form to the shrill cry of, “Give him a pill, Doc”. It soon developed that Charlie Tranell, for it was he, would need more than a pill, however. “Ankle gone”, muttered the Doc. as they carried him off the field. The game went cn but the holes were not quite so wide with Charlie cut. That night in their room Carl Bertarch talked it over with Charlie. “What do you say, Charlie, think you’ll be able to play next week ? You know Bitell is pretty good, but I can’t seem to get go- ing with him in there taking your place”. “Aw, I’ll be 0. K., forget it”, laughed Charlie. It was like Carl to be solicitous like that. This quiet German- American boy had come to college to get an education and foot- ball was only a side is- sue. True his marks did suffer a bit during the season but he man- aged to keep an average of B in spite of this. How he happened to fall in with Charlie Tra- nell was one of those things, inexplainable. Charlie was essentially a football player and his course was a slight provocation to get up early, mornings, for class. He made sure that he wasn’t conditioned, thanks to Carl’s aid, but he was not and never would be a candidate for valedictorian. His chief outside interest was dancing and next to that, girls. He could even do without the girls if it came down to that but he couldn’t dance with himself very well. This rabid passion for tripping the light fantastic was to be almost his downfall later in the season as we shall see. The following Saturday Charlie rushed on to the field with the team and went out to his usual position for the kick-off. The fans saw nothing amiss but they couldn’t see the heavy taping around his ankle which was hidden by his stocking. The game was another walkover for Summervill and Charlie was his usual dyna- mic self, blasting holes a mile wide whenever A. KI,K CONE . MUTTERED THE DOC. 74 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR called upon. But late in the fourth period he didn’t get up after a play. Captain Fegan walked over and Charlie simply said, “My ankle’s gone again”. Again they carried him off. By Friday, the ankle seemed O.K. again. On Saturday it turned bad, in the third period this time. Then it was that Carl lit on the explanation. That night Carl seemed rather restless to Charlie and he asked him if anything was the matter. “Well, er, I just don’t know how to say it, but, well, — it’s you”, blurted Carl. “Why, what about me”? “Listen, Charlie, I know you went out to that dance Friday. That’s what put your ankle on the blink. It was just getting well and then you went out and wore it all down dancing. How do you think you’re going to be able to play if you keep doing that”? “Say, whose ankle is this? I guess I can get along all right. They run one dance in this town and that’s on Friday night and what’s more I’m going”. Carl shrugged and said no more but the ankle did not get better. It became a stand- ard cry along about the third or fourth quar- ter now, “My ankle’s gone again”. However, Summervill managed to plough through the season overwhelming all its opponents and winning the sectional championship. At the end of the season the team was un- defeated. Carl was named All-American centre unanimously but only one sports writer saw the story back of the choice. The following is from his column:— “Bertarch was without doubt a great centre but I believe that his work was due in no small part to his companion in the line, Charlie Tranell. Tranell would undoubtedly have been named on the team but for his unfortunate leg injury which held him back all season. Captain Fegan of Summervill, who plays on the same side of the line as Tranell I consider the best tackle of all time”. Due to the selection of Fegan and Bertarch on the All-American team and Summervill’s undefeated season, they were invited to meet Canford in the Tournament of Roses game on Christmas Day. It was the night before the game and the Summervill team was installed in their hotel on the coast. As usual there was quite a curi- ous crowd hanging about in the lounge and it was here that Charlie learned of the “Be- fore-Game Dance”. Back in his room with Carl, Charlie ap- peared restless. “If I could only sneak past Dickson, but he’s parked right in the lobby”. “What’s the matter Charlie”? inquired Carl. “I want to go to that dance, that’s what. My ankle has been good enough all season. I guess this won’t hurt it”. A crafty gleam came into Carl’s eyes. “Listen, Charlie, I know a girl and she’s prom- ised to meet me tonight but you can go in my place. Listen now but don’t thank me. Bzz—zz—” The next morning Carl turned over and there was Charlie with a most profound look of disgust on his face. “Of all the dead-head, priggish, —. Say your girl had me back in this hotel at ten o’clock, ten o’clock do you realize it and we never danced once. Grr—r” Carl smiled serenely. That afternoon Charlie was still sore and what he did to the Canford team was just too bad. He ended by blocking a kick and recov- ering back of the goal line for the only score of the game. It was a shame the way he tore up his poor opponents. But the crowning point of his anger came when, as he walked off the field with Carl, his lady-friend of the evening before walked up, linked her arm in Carl’s and said sweetly: “Is your ankle all right”? Charlie was flabbergasted. “Say, what is this”? he demanded. “Oh, Charlie, meet my cousin Anna. She knows your pet weakness from me and she promised to get you back to the hotel at ten bells for me. Well, I’ll see you up at the lock- ers”. They walked off. “Well I’ll be —; is—my—ankle—all—right. That confounded little blonde, she’s made me nuts — about her”. The man with the ankle, that celebrated ankle, walked off the field un- der his own power for the first time in two months. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 75 Neptune Appears Bv Ruth Christie, '34 AST summer while swimming I had a most unusual experience. Having reached a large rock which looms up out of the sea, I decided to climb up and rest, prior to my return swim. Having found the softest spot on the rock (try and find one), I gazed into the clear blue water when suddenly there came to the sur- face what appeared to be a mass of sea- weed. I choked back a scream, only upon dis- cerning two twinkling eyes and a fore finger pressed against a smiling mouth. A deep, yet, well modulated voice broke the silence with, “Hello! does your mother know you’re out!” This from a water-logged and ap- parently ancient person, caused me some sur- prise at his use of slang. I said, “Well, who are you and why?” “I’m Neptune, God of the Sea and all that is therein, from a sardine to you my fine young lady. I’d like to tell you something. I want to complain about things in general. Listen! Why do you have out- board motors to disturb my afternoon nap? Why all these submarines, and tell somebody to be more careful! Sec this eye! I got that blackened from some silly galoot dropping bombs from a naval plane. I can’t get a minute’s peace. I’m getting old now and need more sleep but when it isn’t those things in the day time it’s bootleggers and revenue cutters at night and —”. I’ll never know what else he might have said because a lovely mermaid appeared beside the rock and touched him on the arm. I was too polite to listen, yet such words as “broiled live lobster” and “chowder” came to my ears and I knew the ancient worthy was being called to supper. With a wave of his hand and a wink of his eye he slowly disappeared into the water and so did I.

Wildly he whips the shivering trees, Singing with laughter bold! •Shouts as he blusters through the wood; “Ilo! I am king of the cold”!

For my brothers and sisters, they come to me, An’ ya know what they say? “Aw, let me use ’em, just for today”. Say, 01’ Santa, when ya come this way Just forget that guy across the way, For he done me dirt — My brother he hurt. An’ once, guess what! he tore my shirt! An’ listen, he’ll get his some day, For if someone else doesn’t I’ll make him pay. But, then again, when I think it over, It’s hard on a guy who ain’t brought up in clover To do what’s right Every day an’ night; So I guess I’ll forgive him — you bring him some toys An’ make him happy like the rest of us boys. An’ ya know, 01’ Santa, I think he’ll be glad When he gets those toys — and finds I’m not mad At what he did — (He’s only a kid) An’ if he turns out a little better, I’ll tip my lid To you, 01’ Santa, when you do just right By bringing him, too, some toys tonight. 4 THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS By Dorothy Anderson, ’34 Christmas to me means something more Than a season of happy giving For Christ born in a manger low Is a symbol of kindly living. •I % v NIGHT By Barbara K.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 77 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Old Favorites “y LASSIC”. “A book which people (I praise and don’t read”. — Mark Twain. Except, perhaps, it may be added, during- the leisure of the Christmas-New Year vacation when new resolutions lead to the actual reading of “good” books. Two of Samuel Clemens’ own classics are particularly interesting to those to whom his- torical novels appeal. Mistaken identity is the theme entertainingly worked out in both “The Prince and the Pauper” and “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”. When Tom Canty became Edward Tudor and the prince became a pauper, their adventures were bound to be unusual. The poor prince, a victim of the laws imposed by royalty, knew he would be a more just ruler if he ever got back on the throne. Unfortunately he was believed to be as mad as the hermit of the story who con- sidered himself a vengeful archangel. In the tale of the Connecticut Yankee, the disguised King Arthur meets with equally perilous ad- venture, but did he not have for a companion the ingenious man from Connecticut — the man who found the knights’ most thrilling ac- counts of their adventures slightly naive, the man who dared match magic with the awful Merlin? Readers of the “Idylls of the King” will recognize many characters and incidents, but they are shown in their true perspective by the alien from the nineteenth century. England, several centuries after the Round Table era, is the setting for “David Copper- field” which is judged by some critics to be the greatest of Dickens’ works. It is certainly one of the best known. The ’umble Uriah Keep, the willing Barkis, Dora and Agnes, and all the others whose stories are interwoven with that of David are familiar to nearly every- one as characters in some book. For them to become real people, one must read “David Cop- perfield”. One of Dickens’ books usually sug- gests the reading of another. For the holidays the “Pickwick Papers” are seasonal as well as enjoyable. Like “The Gift of the Magi” or “The Other Wise Man” it is something that can be enjoyed year after year. Indeed, the re-reading of some favorite story on Christmas Day is almost as important for the occasion as wishing one another “Merry Christmas”! BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The weekly meeting of the Boys’ Glee Club is held on Thursday in Room 307, under the direction of Miss McGann. During the month of December we have been working on Christ- mas carols and after the holidays we shall re- turn to new songs.

Report im- mediately if you see her”, ordered Captain Barnes as he left the tower. “If Pete didn’t get that message to her she’s on the rocks by now. Well, it’s my last wreck and it looks like a nasty one, and on Christmas Day, too, heaven pity the poor souls aboard her — the sea won’t”, mused Captain Barnes as he descended the ladder from the watch tower. As he entered the radioroom he saw Pete frantically using his key but before he could say a word he heard the lookout to cry, “Ship ho”! Rushing from the room, Captain Barnes hur- ried to the tower and fairly flew up the ladder and entering the tower, shouted, “Where is she, Collins”? “She’s on the Whaleback, sir, and with a bad list to the port. She can’t last more that an hour, sir”. “Collins, you, Jackson and Brown are to stay ashore and keep things going at the station and be sure there’s always someone in the tower and tell Barrows to try and pick up one of the cutters and have her stand by if he can”, ordered Barnes. “But, sir, let me go in the boat? I can handle an oar as well as anyone”, pleaded Col- lins. “Sorry, son, but we’re using the power surf- boat and we can’t take too many because we may have a load to bring back. Remember you have just as much responsibility here ashore as we have out there and don’t fail us”. “I won’t, sir, and I’ll see that the others don’t. Good luck, sir”. “That’s the spirit. Thanks”, shouted Barnes, by now at the bottom of the tower. When Captain Barnes reached the boathouse he found the motor surf boat on the truck and Bo’sun Small at work on the motor, tuning it up. “Carlson, Matthews, Trainor and Bates in the boat. Jackson, you and Brown report to Collins. All right boys, let’s go”, he shouted. Bo’sun Small opened up the motor the minute the boat hit the water and Captain Barnes laid a course for Whaleback Reef. The boat was running into heavy seas and Captain Barnes was taking them bow on to save time. In a very few minutes everyone that could be spared was bailing. Snow had begun to fall and soon visibility became poor. They had been running about a half an hour at full speed and barely making steerage way when the cylinders began to miss fire. The boat was limping along at about half-speed when sud- denly a red flare shone through the falling snow and then died away. Captain Barnes put the wheel hard over to port and the surfboat was soon alongside the starboard side of the American Trader. “Ahoy, aboard the American Trader”, shouted Captain Barnes. “Hello. We’re coming aboard you. How many can you carry”! came back the answer from the American Trader. “Fourteen, if necessary. Hurry or we’ll have to cast loose, the seas are running too high”, called Barnes. A seaman came over the side of the Ameri- can Trader and slid down a rope attached to what had once been a davit, and was hauled into the boat and the other members of the crew followed until all but the captain were in the surfboat. The seas were running higher until the surfboat was in immediate danger of being crushed against the side of the American Trader. Captain Barnes waited as long as pos- sible and then reluctantly ordered Carlson to castoff. The little surfboat shot away from the side of the American Trader like an arrow from a bow and with the motor barely giving steerageway, Barnes had the oars broken out. Suddenly Carlson shouted, “There goes the captain over the side. He’s going under”. Captain Barnes stood up and silently gave Carlson the wheel and stripped off his boots and oilskins and life belt, leaped over the side and set out for the captain of the American Trader with a long powerful crawl stroke. The icy water sent a terrible chill through Jim Barnes and seemed to freeze him through and through. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 79 SAGAMORE, Brookline High School, Brookline, Mass. Yours is a very enjoyable magazine. We look forward to reading the “Gratis” column. It is so amusing. OTTAWANIAN, Ottawa Hills High School. Grand Rapids, Mich. The poetry in your October number was excellent. “November Trees” was exceptionally fine. Such a picture as it presented! GAS ATTACK, Somerville Post, American Legion. A very “newsy” paper. We like the prominence you give your “Calendar of Events”. ORANGE LEAF, Orange High School, Orange, New Jersey. We bestow upon you the honor of having the cover of the month. It was very colorful. Your tributes to Thomas Edison and Knute Rockne were commendable. HERALD, Holyoke High School, Holyoke, Mass. A paper that is a joy to read! Very complete! In its school news we get an idea as to who's who. THE LION, Burdett College, Boston, Mass. “The Admiral’s Britches” was very good. Your cover merits attention, too. ENTERPRISE, Memorial High School, Boston, Mass. The cartoons in your latest number were great. We hope that none of the “Hankies” had to be used. Using a Eugenie for an eye test would certainly be original! ARRON, Lakewood High School, Lakewood, Ohio. “The Tale of The Monthly Test” was a fine piece of poetry. The actions of some of the characters sounded rather familiar. What Others Think of Us: Roxbury Memorial High Dear Exchange Editor: Under separate cover we return an “Enterprise” for your “Radiator” and believe me we’re glad to do so. Your cover is splendid. You need have no fears in that direction. Not only is it unusual but it is put over in a very neat way. If you could have some design on all of your covers it would be fine. We’ll be looking forward to your next one. Good luck! Sincerely, Mi riant Gross, Exchange Editor of the “Enterprise”. After a heartbreaking struggle he reached the side of Captain Wilkins of the American Trader. Barnes had a hard time keeping the partly inert form afloat and by the time the boat reached the pair Barnes was barely con- scious and both were suffering from exposure. When Barnes returned to consciousness he found himself in his room back at the station with Commander Rankin of Division 5 sitting beside his bed reading the morning paper. “Well, Commander, I suppose you are here to turn the station over to Lieutenant Danen- hower. I hope he gets as much pleasure from the station as I have”, said Captain Barnes. “Turn the station over to Lieutenant Danen- hower? Why, what’s the matter, don’t you like this station, Captain Barnes”? asked Com- mander Rankin. “Why — why, I’m over the age limit, Com- mander, you said so yourself a few days ago”. “Well, we all make mistakes and I was look- ing over your service record this morning and I found that you’re only fifty instead of fifty- eight. It’s funny how those mistakes hap- pen”, said Captain Rankin with a broad grin. “Well, that certainly is the finest Christmas gift I’ve ever received”, Captain Barnes said with a catch in his voice. “Not half as fine a gift as you gave the crew of the American Trader, Jim. You were a regular Christmas Angel to them. Well I’m going to let you catch up on some of that sleep you lost. Goodbye, Jim, and good luck’.. “Goodbye, Commander, and thank you”, said Captain Barnes. Before going to sleep Captain Barnes was convinced that the old world was not so bad after all and that “Peace on earth, Goodwill to men” still held good. 80 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE EMPTY ROOM rpHE members of the Somerville High i School were favored with a Christmas play on Friday, December 18, in Clay- ton Ellis Hall. The story of the play is woven around the keeper of the khan in Bethlehem who kept an empty room at the time of the birth of Christ in a manger. The owner of the khan finally lays his burden of gold at the Savior’s feet, invites Mary and Joseph to bring their Divine Charge to his sunset chamber and then unto him comes peace and contentment. Miss Ruby Sutherland and Miss Viola Jack- son may be credited with the production of this most effective presentation. Many members of the following list of play- ers have not appeared in dramatics here before and we wish to congratulate them upon their very calm and impressive portrayal of their respective characters. The cast:— Hamar, a young Bethlehemite John Elliott Hamar’s Cousin Josephine De Simone Rebecca, Mother of Hamar Mary Crotty The Prophet Ernest Grindle Mary of Nazareth Edith Sena A Nobleman of Capernaum William Coleman A Servant Frank Sperduto Shepherds: John Howard, Willis Carter and Laurence Parr. Costumes for the play were prepared by the Household Arts classes under Miss Mary Hen- leigh Brown. Stage settings were executed under the di- rection of Miss Blanche Bradford assisted by Willis Carter, a member of the Senior class. Lighting was under the supervision of Mr. Obear assisted by Henry W. Syer, of the Senior class. No celebration of Christmas would be com- plete without the lovely music written to go with that season of love and rejoicing. Our Christmas observance was not without it. I list for you the delightful musical program selected and coached by Mr. Harry E. Whitte- more, director of music at Somerville High:— PROGRAM “Remembrance” Saleza String Orchestra “Silent Night” Franz Gruner String Orchestra “In Excelsis Gloria” Bornschein Mary Pervy, Soloist “Adeste Fideles” Traditional Orchestra and Chorus The string orchestra was composed of: First violins: Aaron Hershkovitz, Mary Puopolo; second violins: Norman Kincaid, Ed- gar Wyman; third violins: Frederick Shiere, Willis Greenlaw; viola: Ezra Hershkovitz; cello: George Bragdon; bass: Lawrence Leven- son; piano: Irving Humphrey. The chorus: Mary Allan, Maude Driscoll, Virginia Free- man, Beatrice Goldenberg, Etta Grillo, Francis Kearne, Mary Keene, Esther Kent, Doris Le- gese, Newvart Matthewsian, Ethel MacCauley, Mary MacDonald. Alice Mello, Gloria Mello, Dora Moreland, Fern Miller, Elizabeth O’Leary, Mary Perry, Lona Pezzello, Francis Trotta. After having been carried off by this impres- sive play and angelic music by the chorus and orchestra, it was indeed hard to return to our studies again but we did so with the “Torch of Christmas Spirit” blazing within us. PLAYERS’ CLUB On November 13th, the Players’ Club held its first classes. All the members thoroughly enjoyed their first experience in this type of work. We’ve heard some queer stories of what happened in Miss Sutherland’s make-up class. They say we wouldn’t have been able to recog- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 81 nize our own friends so beautiful (?) did they appear. Some warm arguments developed among the members of Henry Syer’s lighting class concerning a man named Ohm and as to how fast a “light-trimmer” would have to be in the old days. Was it the influence of Miss Ellison’s directing class that developed the very fine reading-walking which the members saw on November 20th? The cast was under the direction of Ruth Carter and included Donald Foote, Marie Boselli, Pauline Bruneau, Larry Parr, Audrey Moran, Dorothy Silver, and Mil- dred Baxter. Those Juniors really can do some- thing after all. The members are now looking forward to their Christmas party. v -I v THE BOSTON HERALD’S 1931 ALL-SCHO- LASTIC LEFT TACKLE While looking for commerce and industry topics in the daily papers on November 30, did you happen to turn to the sport page? If, by chance, you did then you saw that Joseph Regan, our 1931 football captain, was chosen as left tackle on the Herald All-Scholastic team. Beside the sketch of each player who was selected appeared a brief comment. The com- ment beside the left tackle was: “He has a keen football brain”. “Good work, Joe”! We’re proud of you and feel that this recognition of your able leader- ship of our 1931 team is well deserved. ! 1 1 Christmas In Other Lands (Continued from Page 72) day. All the members of the family, includ- ing the grandparents, help make the large party. A real feast is served with lamb as the main dish. After dinner the older members of the family receive callers while the chil- dren seek their playmates. Supper is served in the early evening and then the family members sit before the rude fireplace and spend long hours telling stories and reciting legends about the Christ Child. IN CHINA By Robert Dunn. ’33 Christmas and New Year’s Day are drawing nigh, and we are coming to what is known as “the good old days”. The young people in China give each of these two great holidays a similar name. However, we readily find a striking contrast between the Americans and the Chinese, for the Chinese celebrate New Year’s Day with great pomp, and consider Christmas but a minor holiday. This may be explained by the fact that Christianity is a comparatively new belief in China. Another dissimilarity may be found in the fact that the Chinese New Year occurs in February on the universal calendar. With these differences at hand, we may expect to find others in the celebration itself, and we are not disappointed. Of course, Christmas is celebrated quite sim- ilarly all over the world, but New Year’s Day brings us many different yet interesting facts concerning Chinese customs. Let us patronize a merchandise store in China at noon on New Year’s Day. As we enter, we see Chinese characters, with the ap- propriate meaning “Good fortune”, carefully written on each of many draperies placed against the wall. The store manager at once invites us to help ourselves to the variety of dainty sugared candies which are on a small table set conveniently aside. Approaching this table of “sugared fruit”, we immediately recognize the well-known kamquat, melon seed, cocoanut slice, and a few other tempting delica- cies. We purchase our goods, and being young people, we are offered a “red package”: namely, a small amount of money, varying with the giver’s wealth, wrapped in red paper, on which are printed wishes for prosperity in the com- ing year. As we return home, we are stopped by smaller children, usually of poor parentage, who wish to sell us home-made cakes. Having gained the spirit of giving, which the Chinese New Year stirs within us, we generously give them a few small coins without accepting the cakes. Walking on, we hear, through the thinly thatched walls of bamboo huts, the joy- ous laughter of a merry family gathering. These people are busily consuming the delicious dried deep-sea fish at one of their customary feasts which last ten days or a week. Every- one seems to be merry and happy whether at work or play, for he is looking forward to a most pleasant and prosperous year. We all hope that their desires will be fulfilled and OO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR wish them “Kong He Far Toy”, or “Happy New Year”. IN GAY MADRID By Carmen Solano. Teacher of Spanish at Somerville High School Christmas in Spain is of a religious charac- ter. “La Noche Buena” (Christmas Eve) is spent by the rich and poor alike collecting and making “El Nacimiento” (The Crib). Great rejoicing and reverence are experienced by all in doing this. One of the largest rooms in the house is chosen for it and the figures are in a great many cases life size and extremely real, the beauty and reality depending a great deal on the means and circumstances of the people. When completed the family gathers around it and soon friends, relatives and neighbors start on a procession to the house coming in and enjoying the hospitality of the household, sweet meats and drinks — the cook’s or mother’s pride. This continues up until mid- night when all must return home to prepare themselves for “La Misa del Gallo” (in Amer- ica, the midnight mass). The children gather before “The Crib” and recite verses and sing little songs to the Christ Child. One very pop- ular selection is:— Gloria en las alturas A1 hijo de Dios Gloria en las alturas Y en la tierra, Amor. Christmas Day is spent in rejoicing, visit- ing friends and also the churches. The sixth of January is the day on which gifts are ex- changed, commemorating the presentation of gifts to the “Infant Child” by “Los Tres Reyes Magos” — “The Three Kings”. This day is to the Spanish child what Christ- mas Day is to American boys and girls, and the “Three Kings” to them what Santa Claus is to the children here. The night of the fifth, the children go to bed early leaving their little shoes in the balcony so that “The Three Kings” may put their gifts into them and if there are too many gifts, they can be left to one side. Many are up at dawn and great shouting and rejoicing is heard all over the house as they rush to the balcony to get their gifts. Sometimes a little whip is found. I wonder what for? i ! 2 ALUMNI NOTES 1931 MARY J. FARRELL, Florence M. Keon, Mildred E. Tuttle, Catherine B. Hurley, Mary A. Albano and Alice Nahigian are studying at the Chandler Secre- tarial School in Boston. Miss Gertrude Ferrara, last year’s Poetry Editor, is now studying at the New Paltz Nor- mal School in New York. Good luck from this year’s staff and we repeat in chorus that “Good things come in small packages”. Again we hear from Tufts. Miss Florence G. Watson and Miss Ella H. Munro have made the Freshman hockey team. The first game was scheduled with the Senior Class team for November 18. Miss Munro represents the second generation of her family to have gone to the college. Her father was graduated in 1903, and her mother in 1904. 1930 Miss Margaret C. Wescott, a Sophomore at Jackson, was on the traditions committee which officiated at the Freshman Sing. Each Freshman had to sing a college song, alone or in a group, according to her respect for the traditions. Miss Helen Anderson has been elected secre- tary of the second year class at the Chandler Secretarial School. 1929 Mr. Carl 0. Engstrom, a Sophomore at Tufts College, has been pledged to the Sigma Tau Alpha Fraternity. The fraternity gave a dance in honor of its pledges on Friday evening, De- cember 4. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 1932 And once more we burst upon your reveries. Well, you can’t blame us. You should have thought of what you were in for when you turned to this page. However, you will be afforded some relief (?) this issue at least, for we have as guest artist none other than our old pal, Master Joseph Leo Gormley, whose many aliases include “Joe”, “Goomley”, “the Re- former”, and when we’re in a saucy mood, “Leo”. If I recall correctly, the last time “Goomley” and I teamed up was in the June (1929) issue of the Nor’- easter. Bill Tesson wrote an article with us at that time. Might persuade “Tessie” to write a few lines for January, were it not for the fear that said lines would be aimed at us. Many thanks to the editor of the Sophie notes and the editor of the School News feature for their com- pliments in the last issue. If our presentation suc- ceeded it was because of the co-operation all those contributing to it gave us. With regards to Bragdon — you struck the nail on the head. He certainly can play the ’cello. George Bragdon will some day be a musician. And during the last week of November there was an epidemic of colds in Room 154. Yours truly was absent a week, during which he read part of John Hix’s “Strange As It Seems”, and, yea, verily, was much astonished to learn the following: A football game may be won by the score 1—0, though the other team have seventeen more touchdowns than the win- ning team. Explanation next month. Or see “Strange As It May Seem”. A good book! Played for the W. D. S. shebang December 15, and new number — and, of course, the Rhapsody. And now, meet Mr. J. Leo Goomley. (You’ve heard of him before.) A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS NIGHTMARE By Joseph Leo Gormley Dear little chickies: Of late I have lain awake many, many nights, medi- tating. Though our message of cheer is a little tardy, do not think we have forgotten our little flock. Nay, such is not the case — for — many hours have we thought of you and the hardships you endure, as well as the rocky paths you travel. My dear, draw up a chair and list 'whilst I rave. Did you know that the sage of ’32 wore himself down to a shadow, dashing madly about town with the domesticated quadruped (genus Cannis) of a certain sweet young thing. Yes, Indeedie. Who is this “Sage of ’32”? See John East, delver into the unknown and unknowable. Motto of the III-A’s To learn life was my aim, I burned and sighed for knowledge, But Fate locked eveiy truth from me, Alas I went to college. Editor’s note: Mr. Gormley has just been murdered by three well-wishing readers. Armand Janjigian has aspired for three years to see his name in this column, so here it is. Just published: “Treatise In the Fine Art of Men- tal Athletics”, by Professor Robert Kayes and A. Pierre N. O. Hope of the College of Minds, Arkansas, including special chapters by Professor Hayes with such subtitles as “Dodging the Issue” and “Passing the Buck”, and an excellent development of as noble a theme as “Hurdling Exams” and “Trotting the Pas- sage”, by Mr. Hope. Both of these youthful savants are well equipped to undertake such a stupendous work. And now, good-by, my dear little playmates. See you anon. Many thanks for the bouquets and brickbats, Mr. Goomley. 1933 Yep, I’m still alive, strange as it may seem! As thus far I have only apologized for one remark made in the last Radiator. Not bad—huh? (Worse!) One day a teacher was trying to extract from us some information as to what kind of people inhabited a certain place. No one seemed to be able to offer any enlightenment so the teacher prompted: “There are some in Arabia”. Some bright person sang out: “Ara- bians”? Well, he was only trying to be helpful. Some teachers would make good detectives! We had an assignment in a library reference book one night, and of course everyone wasn’t able to procure one. Nevertheless, there was a very good showing of hands when the teacher asked how many were ablo 84 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR to pet a book. In fact, nineteen raised their hands. Hm , said the teacher, “very interesting that nine- teen were able to get a book when there are only twelve and four were left”. Some people are too clever! And there are still those pupils who insist on giving bright answers to sensible questions as the boy who said the Punic Wars were called such because they were fist-fights! It was the same pupil, I think, who said that a Roman knight was when it got dark in Rome. I’ve just come to the conclusion that I made a queer statement recently. It happened thusly:— I was looking at a picture of a bust of some states- man in Roman history and noticed the absence of the eye-ball in the space where it should have been. Concluding that the Romans had not acquired the knowledge of carving a human eye at this time I re- marked to the girl beside me: “The Romans didn’t know how to make eyes, did they”? Imagine my amazement when, after looking at me in astonishment for a moment, she burst out laughing. A certain teacher, recently was talking to her class about the advance in civilization of a certain race. Speaking of a certain time in the history of these peo- ple she said: “They had reached a very high stage of civilization; they even had bathtubs”! Another teacher informed us that a certain race of people “lived on horses”. Well, we’re still trying to figure out just what he meant. If you are able to tell us whether he meant that their sole source of sustenance was horseflesh or that the horses were their combination, parlor, bedroom and kitchenette, you are extraordinary. Mrs. Toplifl' certainly has many interesting tales to tell of Scotland and her adventures there. One of the interesting things is the feeling between a Scots- man and an Englishman. For instance: Doctor John- son wrote a definition of a foreigner thus: A foreigner is a Scotsman”. Immediately after that he wrote: “All foreigners are fools”. Here’s an interesting story anyway: “Graecia, capta, captorem captonit”. It means, Greece, having been captured, led captive (or captured) her captor. And it really means a lot too! Figure it out for yourself! Once upon a time there was a little girl (yes, she’s very little, very little), and she was describing an in- cident, or, to be more exact, she was describing the chief character in this incident, especially his dress. “Well”, she said very slowly, “he wore a cloak—”. She hesitated perceptibly. “He must have been very cold”, prompted the teacher. “Well, he wore sandals”, said the very little girl in a tone of finality and sat down, finished. There’s a certain chemistry teacher who will be very wealthy some day. Every time we forget to re- move our key from the drawer and place it on the keyboard we must part with one copper penny before we can have it back. “Hear the pennies dropping— y Needless to say, she receives many pennies. Recently a teacher was reprimanding a girl be- cause she scarcely ever spoke in class, even when called upon to recite. Finally she turned to the class and said: “Does Marian ever speak when she is with you girls? Tell me girls, does she”? Came a deep masculine voice from the rear of the room: “No”! Docs anyone realize what a feat it is to make the sun sit on our stage in the hall? Henry Syer — our Players’ Club president and a Senior, describes it thus: “Everyone is still. There is quiet on the stage. Every- one is waiting for the sun to set. Then suddenly click! click! click! click! the lights go off bit by bit. The sun has set”. Mr. Obear very clearly described the process of molecules dashing around in space and colliding with one another and shooting off into space. But there would be a girl to mix her words and talk about “mole- cules bumping each other off”. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 85 And there is always some pupil who will translate: “II n’avait plus de cheveux”. “He had no horse”. Tusk! tusk! tusk! And who was it who said that Hannibal never slept unless there was nothing else to do. Sounds a trifle bored, n’est-ce pas? Speaking of Hannibal, they tell us he slid down the Alps and landed in Italy. Here’s to happy landings, Hannibal! We shall never forget the day a Latin teacher was translating a section from Pliny for us and translated lag un eula, as thermos bottles. In explaining the difference between the imperfect and the perfect tense in a French sentence a girl said: “Well, he was a little boy for a long time, but his father only died once”. Quoting an English theme: “We had to look up at the field”. I must admit 1 was quite puzzled until the girl who wrote it explained that it was an aviation field. Ketch in? Teacher: “You wouldn’t say that Boston was in the United States wouldn’t you”? Pupil: “Well, you wouldn’t be wrong”. Mrs. L.: “There may be some A’s floating around. Do you think you’ll get one”? A. Carlson: “No”! Mrs. L.: “Miracles do happen you know”. Take it any way you wish! Personals In these depressing times we should all learn to •economize Lucy Bruneau! You know the amount of paper you waste in those lonely wide margins is scandalous. J. Russell Coogan will always create mirth as long as he persists in signing himself as such and the teachers persist in reading the name in that impres- sive tone. Did you know that when Dorothy Silver laughs she only wrinkles one side of her nose? I wonder if Worth’s first name is Charles, as he claims it is, or Curtis, as so many teachers claim it is? Ma cher enfant, N eli (Cornelia Campbell). And then, too, there is Mine. Cartier—! I hope this satisfies all those who love to call me that and who have longed for a way to get even with me for the things I write about them. No gratitude for getting their names in print! Ah, me! Such a life! 1934 “I heard the bells on Christmas Day their old famil- iar carols play”, and thus another Christmas has rolled around each arriving sooner than the last. To begin with, your Class Editor wishes you “A Very Happy Christmas” with lots of presents and “A Very Pros- perous New Year” with increased interest and success in your school work. The other day our beloved Latin teacher, after she had employed at least thirty minutes of her valuable time expounding on the use and translation of the active periphrastic conjugation (translated: intend to), assigned some homework. A weak masculine voice was heard to inquire from the rear of the room: “What is the word for intend to ? My! My! What has happened to his cerebellum? We have all at seme time or other learned the long list of prepositions — in, around, about, up, upon, to, from, etc., but a “brilliant” member of our class added another to the already endless list. This “brilliant” pupil (yes, he was a Sophomore) when questioned in geometry as to what part of speech “is” was, replied: “Is, oh yes, it’s a preposition, isn’t it”? In describing the Cissyrians’ method of fighting, during an ancient history period, it was said that the first line of battle would shoot arrows at the enemy for a while and then the second line would “give ’em the works”. While struggling through “Idylls of The King” some- thing was read concerning “the rear spring of the good horse in the tournament”. What’s this? A new species? It is rumored that very shortly Murphy and Flem- ming of our Sophomore Class will make their debut as radio crooners. Be sure to listen in everybody and hear these famed (?) artists. Heard in one of our study periods: “How do you divide into three equal parts”? Tsk! Tsk! I hope no one is planning suicide! Only a Few Hours Difference! A pupil translating our beloved Caesar came to “prima luce” (at daybreak) and read: “Late at night”. The other day when a Sophomore was questioned as to the two methods of proving propositions in geometry he replied: “The right way and the wrong way”. Bright pupil, eh? Teacher: “What is the first word in the sentence”? Pupil starts to answer and is chewing gum. Teacher: “Take whatever you’re chewing out of your mouth”. Pupil: “Caesar”! This is the Ends of Ends for both this month’s column and good cld 1931 — see you in ’32! 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR BASKETBALL INTER and its seasonal sport, basket- ball, are here for good now. The shape of the athletic world has changed from the football oval to the basketball circle, and with it has the Somerville High School in- terest and enthusiasm changed. Upon nearing the gym any afternoon now one can hear exciting sounds. You hear the slap of racing feet, the protesting squeal of quick-stopping sneakers, the swish of the ball through the net or the thump of it on the backboards (depending on the markmanship) and, on certain days, you hear thrilling cheers from the student fans who witness the games on this worthy schedule:— Dec. 18 Melrose at Somerville, 7.30.

CLOSING CHAPTERS OF 1931 FOOTBALL And now, classmates, for a little bit of his- tory, but an exciting bit, anyway, because it’s about those thrilling final football games our boys played. Even though perhaps you were lucky enough to witness them you certainly will want to review them now. Anyway it’s too late to stop my pen, so here goes:— On November 7, Somerville, by defeating haughty old Brookline, eliminated a dangerous contender and practically clinched the league title. However for three chukkers, the score board was unadorned. Then, when the shadows had begun to lengthen on the field, the team twice placed the pigskin across the goal, where the limed yard lines form angle with the end zone stripes. Flashy Ferguson brilliantly scored the first touchdown with a speedy sprint off-tackle, and a few minutes later Falco climaxed the con- test by stealing a Brookline pass and galloping for another reward to make the total a dozen points. Then just to prove that 13’s are not unlucky Alec Plummer speared a forward for the extra and final digit. The team made their own “breaks” in this game and scored on them. The next Saturday saw bands of merry S. H. S. fans treking up to Nashua for our game with that New Hampshire school. Around 12 o’clock, all sorts of vehicles: buses, antique Fords, sleek roadsters, and even trucks, all bubbling over with cheering students, began to ramble (or rumble) into town. Nashua was Somerville’s for the day, especially as our play- ers avenged last year’s defeat by blanking them 13 to 0. Starting out with a bang, our local boys made good for an immediate touchdown scored by Gene Falco after a steady march by the whole team. The accompanying point was sue- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 87 cessfully booted, and later on, another touch- down, similar to the first, was pushed over by Donahue to conclude the white washing. Here the team was truly an eleven as it performed perfectly as an organized unit. After the final whistle everyone raced to their cars and then speedily ate up the miles homeward to spread the news of the Ited and Blue’s victory. November 21. The Somerville warriors cer- tainly slapped the Indian sign on the English today for they upset English 13 to 0, which, incidently, was the exact scores of the two above-mentioned games. Last year, when the English High team was state champion, Somerville proved to be their most dangerous foe, causing them many mo- ments of anxiety. And so, starting where they left off in that contest, our boys pro- ceeded to score two touchdowns and an extra point while safely guarding the Red and Blue goal. After a series of first downs which placed the leather in scoring position, Falco, the bat- tering ram, plunged over for counter No. 1. Quarterback Donahue’s talented toe then kicked the accompanying unit. Later on, when our enemy was backed up to their own five-yard line, Captain Joe Regan, the great tackling tackle, blocked a kick which Bob Hayes alertly covered and pounced on when it bounded over the end zone for the last score. THANKSGIVING DAY GAME We will long remember Thanksgiving Day as a day of thrills and of pills. Thrills for the Somerville—Rindge annual football classic, and pills for —, well let’s not go into that. Anyway, early that cold crisp morning thousands of football fans surged into Rus- sell Field expecting to see an exciting game. And they did, although the teams battled to a scoreless tie. Early in the game, the Technical School team threatened to score from our one-yard line, but I guess our boys played or prayed harder for, on the next play, a fierce tackle caused a fumble and saved old S. H. S. And then again in the third period, Rindge entered our domain near enough to attempt a drop kick, which was hurried by our forwards and subsequently failed. That was the last serious threat from our rivals although Annanas as a runner and receiver was always dangerous. But you mustn’t think that our offence was idle. Indeed it wasn’t, for “Hecky” Ferguson and his mate, Nick Androske, the speed mer- chants of our backfield, fled like phantoms through many broken field runs. Danny Lynch and Jack Donahue, closing their colorful academic football careers, starred in their re- spective fields as line plunger and punter. Gene Falco also played his usual smashing game. At tackles, the All-Scholastic Captain Joe Regan, and his brother giant, Herb Murphy, smeared plenty of Rindge backs behind scrimmage, and together with the veteran Traniello, slowed up our opponent’s attack considerably. This was the third year the two elevens had played to a scoreless deadlock but, even with the tie, Somerville High was again honored by Charlie Dickerman and his boys winning their fourth consecutive Suburban League title after a most successful season. %H0 SAID THERE UAS NO SANTA CLAUS ? 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Humor-ettes _ We Do Not Tear Your Clothes With Machin- ery, We Do It Carefully By Hand.—Sign in a laundry window.

Finn, ’33 Come to our dwelling, 0 beautiful Spring, With the gifts of thy first sweet offering, With the song of birds and the brooklet’s hum. Beautiful prophetess, come, O come. We have watched through the long dull hours of pain For the crystal light of thy flowing train, And listened to catch the sound of thy voice Bidding thy woodlands awake and rejoice. It has come with sweet music, O beautiful Spring, The lark and the swallow are on the wing; Of mossy banks and the violet’s birth, Thy winds are whispering o’er the earth. They have kissed the boughs of the tasseled pine, And nursed into vigor the sleeping vine; And the long, lone torpor of shrub and tree Gives way for the freshness that is to be. Come to our dwelling, O beautiful Spring, With the gifts of thy first sweet offering. With the swelling bud and the opening leaf, O scatter the shadows of care and grief! The flush of a new-born courage impart To the lagging foot and the faltering heart. Strength for life’s duties and suffering. These be thy gifts to us, beautiful Spring. Tinge with new glory our national gloom From the desolate home to the patriot’s tomb; With the rending of chains and the captive’s release, Bring us, O beautiful prophetess, peace. FAITH By Brendan A. Finn. ’33 If Radio’s slim fingers can pluck a melody from the night And tcss it o’er continent and sea; If the petaled white notes of a violin Can be blown across a mountain or a city’s din; If songs like crimson roses, are culled from the thin blue air. Why should mortals wonder that God hears prayer. MORNING By Arline Merrill, ’33 An odor of apple blossoms drifts through the air, A fragrance of spicy pines is everywhere. Fairy pathways of silvery webs spread From bud to bud in the violet bed. The daisies are moist with sparkling dew Which drifts on the heads of daffodils, too. The glorious gold sun is heralded by Rosy-tinted pennants that dance across the sky. The east is bright with a lavender glow, And ’cross the hills soft breezes blow. Swallows on the wing sail by Fleecy white clouds in an azure sky. BLENDED TAPESTRY By Phyllis Down, ’32 The steel gray of the sky on wind-whipped winter days; Blue asters in a yellow bowl reflected in polished mahogany; A taffy-colored, green-eyed cat basking in the morn- ing sun; A symphony of green jade strung on a silver chain; The serene blue of mountains brooding over white clustered villages; The blood-red sunset spilled on winter snow, All these, and many other colors mellow, rich-toned and splendid Are woven into the tapestry Life, wrought by the Master’s hand. • • FREE VERSE — TAKE ONE This is to tell About the dumb-bell Who came into the library To get a book about baseball, And who went away With the second volume Of the encyclopedia Because it was marked On the back: ATA-BOY. —The Boston Transcript. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 “FAIL OF You know that the National MILK” Honor Society pledged the second drawing from the Senior Class, recently, and no doubt you can happily recall the dignity and impressiveness of the occasion. This society never fails to have a fine person, usually outstanding in educational circles, come to Somerville High for this occa- sion and bring a message, inspirational and in- formational, to us. President Frank P. Spears, of Northeastern University, was the speaker at the recent in- duction and may I offer the theme of his ad- dress — Youth on leaving high school might be compared to a pail of milk. After being poured into this great bucket (the world), and allowed to stand for a while, the cream (the leaders and workers) rises and the dregs (the ambitionless) settle on the bottom to stay and later be thrown away. In the middle is the quantity of watery milk (those just getting by) which, of course, is nothing of much value. This was Mr. Spear’s conception of the way young people get ahead or drag behind, as the case may be. Taking into consideration all of the speakers we have heard during the past two years, I have not heard a more appropri- ate or more thought-provoking comparison of- fered. There is nothing to be added since his state- ment is so complete, but may I suggest that you read his expression over once or twice and decide where you are going to be when you face the world. Remember, if you can’t possibly be even of the thinnest cream then be of the rich- est milk. JUNIORS DIP By the time you read these THEIR PENS! lines the Junior staff will have taken control of the Radiator for one short month. At the end of this time we shall see the product of their toil in the form of the Junior Issue. Good luck from tfie Seniors! This staff is chosen from the Junior con- tributors to the Radiator and as well as serv- ing as a recognition of their work it gives them an opportunity to show what they can do in the way of varied writing, layout, and the general getting together of material. By training a staff for one month in this way, we are sure that someone will know how to keep the Radiator appearing monthly after the regular staff leaves. Have you gathered a faint idea or two as to what school journalism calls for? I hope so. It sounds like a lot of hard work and it is, yet, I feel that for every moment you put into it you gain a corresponding amount of ex- perience and knowledge which of course is worthwhile. There is no better chance in all our school life to learn to be independent, to make decisions, to use the broad field of knowledge, which teachers are always urging us to cultivate, than in this work. The train- ing received from the moral responsibility or sense of duty which goes with all the staff positions is one of the greatest assets one can possess in the business world. It seems a pity that more young people don’t make greater use of the many opportunities in this line which school life offers. Next year’s staff and the Junior staff are not yet completed. Get into this work! There is some- thing in it for you and if you do this extra work, in later years you will be ever so thank- ful that you took advantage of this oppor- tunity to get experience. ACTORS — WHAT The general sub- THE WORLD NEEDS Ject of conversation these days is, of course, the Senior Play. I heard a comment or two during the course of a conversation and 166 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR it never occurred to me that any one looked upon student participation in dramatics in that way. “Hm, plays — plays — I thought that you went to school to learn something. Every other word out of your mouths is about plays — what this person does in this play and how much better you think you could do it. To stand up behind bright lights and make a fool of yourself is no credit. Can you tell me one good thing gained from dramatic work?” What do you get out of it? Isn’t it some- thing to be able to walk about and speak before a group without being so self-conscious that you become laughable? After all it isn’t so much what part you take but the reaction on and development of your personality which automatically results from that bit of acting. I have been disgusted many a time at the thea- tre in the evening when I caught sight of young men who were so very self-conscious that they continually pulled at their coats or adjusted their ties. They were so ill at ease that I wager none of the young ladies they were escorting enjoyed the evening. There is only one solution to this difficulty and that is to learn what is done and how to do it properly — then do it. What better practice can be found than on the stage? It develops your personality, makes you more magnetic and so makes you a leading actor in business and social circles. W. C. R. That trip to Washington makes a wonderful gradu- ation present. See Mr. Hayward for particulars about this unforgetable journey to “Cherry Blossom Land”. Juniors and Sophomores, are you supporting the Year Book? You will want help when you’re Seniors, so co-operate now. “The Millionaire” is to be the Senior play. Will you be there? April Fool evening is bound to be a night of utter enjoyment at Clayton Ellis Hall. Payments on Radiator subscriptions are dragging again. Enough said. Will you correct this slow- ness? GOl) GAVE ME A MOMENT By William A. Tesson, ’32 God gave me a moment to think — My mind dwelt on things of the past; The future from yesterday cast In Eternity’s mold, From experience old — God gave me a moment to think. God gave me a moment to act — And I acted with wisdom inspired By the One of all who could have fired My heart into action, No thought of retraction, God gave me a moment to act. God gave me a moment to live — And I drank, in that moment of life, A cup of interminable strife; And I saw at a glance That life’s no romance — but God gave me a moment to live! In that life was a moment to laugh — And I laughed with a joy of my own: For my life I had lived all alone. Although I had friends, They saw only the ends Of the things that had caused me to laugh. In that life was a moment to weep — And I wept with a sorrow too great For even the Sisters of Fate. And e’en though they spun Life to me was begun In that moment I found I could weep. God gave me a moment to die — And I died with a smile on my lips Expressive of each one who sips A great cup that is Life; I thought pleasurable strife, In that moment God gave me to die. The birds must have built nests in Somerville’s no-school bells. Isn’t it a chore to have to dig out and swim, slide or crawl up the hill to school? Oh, well, I guess we’ll have to hope for very little bad weather since they never ring off school in this city. Best wishes for comfortable nests, birdies! Sophs, your records to date are simply abominable. Come on and bring your standing at least up to par. Remember the reputation of Somerville High will rest in your hands three years from now, to say nothing of the success of each and every one of you. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 167 Spring Drive By Ralph .1. Hossman, '31 DURING that long warm day late in March the ice of the Winnamoosic River had snapped and crackled like a volley of rifle fire until finally the sharp crackling changed to a deep prolonged rumble which culminated in a terrific roar and the ice- locked Winnamoosic was free. For the past week under the heat of the mid-day sun the river had groaned and rumbled as some giant of yore, discontented with forced captivity might have done. All the while the lumber- men of Jackson Wheeler’s Camp 63 had sensed that the break-up was coming and were preparing for the annual spring drive one hundred and fifty miles downriver to the saw- mills. After supper instead of the usual poker game or reading, the men overhauled pike- poles, peavy sticks and boot caulks. Among the lumbermen preparing for the drive were two young men of approximately twenty-four years of age, namely, Jed Marston and Birler Blackwith. The latter had earned his nick- name of Birler through his ability to do just what his name suggested for he was the best “birler” or log roller on the Winnamoosic. Jed Marston and Birler Blackwith were the best of buddies or rather they had been up until the time they both took a tremendous liking to the same girl, Joan Wilton, daughter of the foreman and superintendent of the saw- mill at Winnamoosic City, on the last trip downriver, the preceding fall. Shortly after returning to camp, Birler accused Jed of lowering his esteem in the eyes of the one and only Joan, and after a hot exchange of words which nearly resulted in their coming to blows, they vehemently told one another that their friendship ceased from then on and so the feud started. So well had the feud been kindled that it lasted all through the winter cutting, and finally reached such a pitch that it became necessary for Big Tom MacAllister to put them in separate cutting gangs and bunkhouses, to prevent them from doing one another bodily harm. A few days before the break-up came, Big Tom was talking to Herb Waterford, the as- sistant camp boss, as they were getting the drive gangs together. “You know, Herbie, I think those two fel- lows would like to quit that fool scrapping if either one of ’em could find some way to slide out and still be able to say: ‘Well, I showed him something,’ and you know I think I’ve got a way to stop ’em. I’m going to put both of ’em on the same drive and I think I’ll put ’em on your gang and I want you to make ’em work together as much as possible without making it look suspicious, understand.” “I sure do, Tom, and by George, I think it’s going to work. You know, Tom, it’d be a shame to have those two broken up permanently. Why, they’re two of the best loggers we’ve got, but -£y 168 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR doggone it, that’s just like a woman to bust up a friendship like that, they’re all the same.” “Oh, go on, you old fraud, you don’t seem to think so when we get to town and you get a chance to see Miss Fogarty,” answered Tom. “Now you, listen here, Tom MacAllister, you keep Miss Fogarty’s name out or so help me Hannah, I’ll forget who you are and I’ll — I’ll —sputtered Herb. “Yeah, yeah, I understand, it affects us all that way. Too bad, Herb, I didn’t think you’d go that way though. Well such is life!” “Oh, rats,” shouted Herb as he stamped out of the cabin. A week after the break-up the first drive got under way. The first drive is always the biggest and this one was no exception, consist- ing of thirty to thirty-five foot logs of Dawson fir. The drive had covered seventy-five of the one hundred and fifty miles of churning white water without mishap and everything was go- ing smoothly until the drive hit Muddy Rapids. Part of the drive passed through safely when suddenly one of the lumbermen riding a thirty- foot log, partially lost his balance and in re- gaining it drove his peavy stick unnecessarily hard against the log next to the one he was riding. In so doing, he pushed the log into an eddy which promptly swung it broadside to the current and firmly wedged between two rocks. Within two minutes the logs were piled up for two miles back, and Herb Waterford was confronted with as nasty a jam as he had ever experienced. “Hey, you!” Herb called to the lumberman, who had by this time regained his balance. “So you’re supposed to be a lumberman, eh? Ride a log? Why you couldn’t ride a ferry- boat without falling overboard. Now get over there and get that dynamite while I find the key log. You’re so thick I can’t even think while you’re around. Send Jed and Birler up here. Now get, what do you think this is a tea party ?” Jed and Birler arrived at the head of the jam at about the same time with Jed carry- ing the weighted bags of dynamite and Birler with the caps and fuses. When they caught sight of the jam, Jed let out a long-drawn whistle, and turning to Birler spoke to him for the first time in three months: “Boy, it sure looks as though we have our work cut out for us. We’ll never find the key log in that mess, we’ll have to dynamite from the start; what do you think Birler?” “Looks like it, Jed, and it’s not going to be any cinch either from the looks of things. Here comes Herb now, better get that dyna- mite capped it looks as if he’s going to start dynamiting right away.” “Hey, Jed, bring that dynamite out here right away, we’ll never find the key log,” shouted Herb from the edge of the jam. After a half an hour’s ticklish work the dyna- mite was all placed and Birler because of his surefootedness was to touch off the fuses. He had touched off all but one of the fuses and was hurrying to the last nearest shore when the log on which he was riding was hit by a stray log and Birler was thrown into open water on one side of the jam and directly in the path of a huge log traveling at express train speed. When Jed saw Birler fall he shouted something inarticulate to Herb and dashed out across the jam forgetful of their past enmity, and the dynamite, forgetful of every- thing except that Birler was in danger. When Birler saw the log bearing down upon him he managed to feebly paddle a few strokes and get partially out of its way so that the log hit him but a glancing blow but glancing though it was, it proved sufficient in his weak- ened condition to render him totally uncon- scious just as Jed reached his side. Jed had no more than reached his side when the dyna- mite exploded with a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and a column of water and splintered timber rose high in the air and the jam was broken. After a terrible and heart- breaking struggle, Jed fought free of the cur- rent and oncoming logs and managed to get Birler to a shallow pool near the bank where Herb and some of the others soon had them ashore. When Birler returned to consciousness he asked for Jed and said to him: “Listen, Jed. I’ve acted pretty raw towards you the last couple of months and I’d like to make up for it in some way and about Joan, I’m willing to pull up stakes and let you have the whole claim, because you see I never did care so very much, and it was only through jealousy that I pre- tended to.

A first striking peculiarity may be seen in the fact that it is spoken in hundreds of different dia- lects throughout the country. A man from Canton would have to understand more than one dialect to communicate with a friend in a nearby village. This handicap was due to the lack of modern means of transportation, and also to the result of the old Chinese spirit of localism. The members of one large family not only were not able to communicate with a neighboring village, but also did not have the desire to do so. The Chinese government at the time of the Revolution, saw the handicap in dialects and agreed to the use of Mandarin, spoken mainly in Nanking, as a common spoken language. Now, Mandarin is taught in a large majority of schools in both the north- ern and southern parts of China. The speaking of the Chinese language has its peculiarities and its interesting facts, but the writing is not to be outdone. It may be correctly said that Chinese writing is an art in itself, for the Chinese do not use pens and pen- cils, but sheepskin brushes and ink pads of pigskin. Of course everyone knows that the Chinese book is written just the opposite to the English book, that is, beginning at the end, and reading in vertical columns from right to left. There is no alphabet, and each word or character is like a picture, similar but simpler than the Egyptian hieroglyphic. There are approximately five thousand common charac- ters, but many more are to be found in classics. Chinese classics are most difficult to compre- hend since they contain many inferences. “Looking at the sky from the bottom of a well” would infer that one was narrow-minded. ‘ To chase the wind” or “to catch the moon’s shad- ow” would imply that a certain thing was use- less. Long classics were, until recently, mem- orized by Chinese students without their know- ing the meaning. Government officials were chosen in civil service examinations for their ability to use the inferences of the classics in the composition of essays. However, since the western civilization was introduced in China, there has been an educational revolution in which is emphasized the teaching of modern sciences. Rather than the more difficult forms of classical writings, a new system known as the “Simple Language” has taken its place. Probably the best way to become acquainted with a language like that of the Chinese is to study the dictionary, so let us imagine that we have a dictionary before us. In the front of the book, we find a list of approximately three hundred symbols or “word parts”, which cor- respond to the English alphabet. As a general rule, a word can be divided into two or more “word parts”, and the “word part” containing the least number of lines is looked up in the list of the three hundred and found by a similar method as in English with the use of the alpha- bet. We find in the further study of the dic- tionary that each character has four different pronunciations, many different meanings, and that many characters are pronounced the same. This fact makes the Chinese language not only the most peculiar and most interesting, but also one of the most difficult languages there is to learn. We pupils of the Somerville High School should consider this fact a bit before we con- demn cur language teachers for the supposedly difficult lessons which they give us each day. SPUD By Benjamin Sawin, Jr., ’32 After watching my cat, Spud, perform, I came to the conclusion that some of us would be amused to learn about him. He is quite a difficult fellow to watch for he likes dark corners and the spaces between a rug and the floor. Yet, with a little patience and a great deal of effort one can watch this cat do his tricks. I call him Spud because he resembles a potato, that is when he sleeps. He has only been in this “vale of tears” about six months, yet his total length is about twenty-two inches. 170 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR but when he runs or hops, his length approaches three feet. I suspect that he has some snake or worm in him. How I do wish that he had some St. Bernard ancestry for I certainly like big cats. The dear kitty (gr-r) was given to me by a friend. You see I could do nothing but accept since I did not want to hurt my friend’s feel- ings, hm-m. I wish now that 1 had chloro- formed either the friend or the cat, either move would have saved me from the cat. Spud’s habits are very queer indeed and he has absolutely no sense of caution. Last week I spilt a quart or two of strong lye solution on the cellar floor and as soon as it happened, Spud and his pinkish-gray tongue were on hand to investigate. He sampled this nectar, then sneezed, coughed and jumped around like a string of exploding fire crackers. I shall have to be careful of him for he has only about three lives left out of the original nine. His worst enemy is a rug. He can fight for hours at a time with one rug. but you can imagine who objects to this, can’t you ? When rugs grow too dead for him he sets out to cap- ture a fly or some such insect. To my knowl- edge he has never run across a mouse, but if he should I wouldn’t be surprised if he made friends with it. When visitors are at my house, sooner or later Spud arrives to entertain them. After getting the callers down on their hands and knees to play with him, he finally condescends to let them pick him up and stroke him. How- ever, Spud doesn’t like to be petted so you can picture him squirming in their laps. Since I have no special liking for this cat, I have fre- quently tried to give him away. “Oh, Ben, I couldn’t think of taking such a lovely little pet from you.” ‘T have one of my own”, are some of the answers I receive. Why don’t they say they wouldn’t have such an animal about? It wouldn’t hurt my feelings any and I am sure they mean just that. If anyone wants to own a good, man-eating cat, they should communicate with me. I would be very willing (too bad if I wouldn’t), to accept a few dollars for my cat.

THE BUNGLE FAMILY TELLS A STORY By Dorothy White, ’31 Every member of the Bungle family always tries to help every other member of the fam- ily. When one member of the family tries to tell a story all of the other seven immediately take hold and try to tell him how to tell it. “Did you ever hear the story about my dog Towzer?” said Mr. Bungle to me one day. “No, I never did,” said I, “let’s hear it.” “Well, about the middle of last July,” said Bungle. — “The last of June,” said Archibald Bungle. “Nearer the first of August,” said Miriam. “Well, call it sometime between 1812 and the present time,” said I, “I’m awfully anxious to hear the story.” “Well, we were just coming home from church,” continued Mr. Bungle. “From the circus,” interrupted Ruby. “Warn’t cornin’ home at all,” said Tom Bun- gle. “We were just startin’ out to the beach.” “Well, let us decide,” said I, “that we were all somewhere, can’t tell exactly, but some- where between the cradle and the grave. You have no idea how anxious I am to hear that story. Go on Mr. Bungle.” “Well,” said Mr. Bungle, “it rained.” “Snowed,” said Mrs. Bungle. “Hailed,” said Archibald Theodore. “Well, I’m willing to admit,” said I, “that it rained, snowed, hailed, and that we had an earthquake all at the same time. I will ad- mit any weather from freezing to boiling point if I can only hear that story. I’m eaten up with curiosity. Please go on.” “All right,” said Mr. Bungle, “what was I talking about?” “Dunno,” said Archibald. “Dog,” said Rosie. “Whale,” said Miriam. “It’s an excellent story,” said Mr. Bungle, “you’d split yourself laughing, but I just can’t think of it just now.” If Mr. Bungle outlives every other member of the family, and I can have an interview with him after they are all dead, I shall some day hear that story. Sustained by this hope I go through life each day. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 171 Alias Blacky By Stella Davis, ’33 r ][ nIIE library door opened and someone asked: ‘‘Are you busy?”. Mr. Wealthington, a steel magnate, looked up from his work and said: ‘‘No, son, come in.” Dick sat down and his father asked: ‘‘What’s on your mind?” And Dick said: ‘‘Would you mind if I left college, dad?” “Why?” answered Mr. Wealthington. “Because I am tired of doing nothing but going to college and dancing with debutantes,” Dick replied. After a few moments of silence, the steel magnate said: “What do you want me to do?” “Nothing, dad, but I would like to do some- thing exciting and get some atmosphere for the novel I am writing,” eagerly explained his son. “Oh, for that!” his father answered, smil- ing sarcastically, but before Dick could answer, he quickly added: “Sorry if I have hurt your feelings, old man. As for my answer to your question, I’ll say that if you want to stop for a while, go ahead; I know that you are smart and can take care of yourself.” “Aw, let him alone,” said a tall, dark-eyed, dark-haired young man, who would have been handsome, if it weren’t for a dark, stubby beard. “Gettin’ yellow?” asked Old Man Dugan, boss of the gang. “Yuh know you’ve only been with us a month and how sure are we you ain’t yellow?” “Take that back!” snapped Blacky. Dugan studied him for a moment and said in an apologetic voice: “All right, Kid, no hard feelin’s.” The scene of this conversation was an old shack on the outskirts of a large city, where three other men sat. “Don’t forget, men, to- morrow night,” ended Dugan. Mr. Wealthington, a millionaire in the city, was going to play Santa Claus to the people of his boyhood place, which was a few miles away from the city. The people were to gather in the village hall and the rich man was going to present each one with an amount of money as a Christmas gift. It was Christmas Eve and everyone was as- sembled, and Mr. Wealthington was about to ascend the steps when Blacky drew his gun and shot at him. Another one of the gang grabbed the money. They both jumped into the car but before the driver could let up his clutch, they were surrounded by policemen, who had come in two cars from an infrequently used road, which was opposite the hall. Everything hap- pened simultaneously, and there was no chance of escape. Blacky went over to Mr. Wealth- ington and said: “Congratulations, dad, you are a swell actor.” “To be honest, son,” said his father, “even though I knew you had a blank cartridge, it seemed years until you ‘shot’ me. Incidently, have you had enough excitement, and will you come back to me and go to college, again?” “Of course I will,” grinned Richard Wil- liam Wealthington. ! pL J £� ° V € ? v Si Biology Student Sees a Plant ) 172 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE OUTCAST By Haig Kooshoian, ’34 “I’m afraid there’s something dreadful the matter with Junior,” Mrs. Willet said over the evening coffee. “Call the boy Bill, like everyone else does,” Mr. Willet grumbled behind his newspaper. “Is it a rash? — perhaps measles.” “No, it’s what has happened at school. They’ve been giving some of these new tests. They weeded out all the morons and put them in a separate class, and----” “Say, I’ll see them about that! Bill may be dumb about some things, but if they go tag- ging my son as a moron —” “Wait, wait! They didn’t put Junior in that class. The next test was to find the exception- ally smart pupils, the potential geniuses, who were harmed by being slowed up and held back. They wanted to give them special opportunities to develop rapidly.” Mr. Willet pushed the paper definitely aside and expanded: “Well! and you’re afraid if he turns out to be a genius, there’ll be something terrible the matter with him as a counter bal- ance. Why, that idea’s exploded. Don’t worry! Bill’s like his father; he won’t let —” “No, they didn’t put him in that class either. They picked out the children who were prob- lem cases because of home conditions and —” Mr. Willet abruptly cried: “Oh, it’s his par- ents they’re trying to blame? Well, I’d like to see what —” “No, no. You keep interrupting. They didn’t include Junior in that class either. They just put those children under special teachers who are trained in child psychology. Then they had moral tests — you know they gave them puzzles to do with pennies and check up the pennies, and things like that — and they sep- arated the really bad children for training in ethics. And it went on like that until now — well, now Junior’s the only one left in the class, and they don’t know what to do with him.” Mr. Willet looked baffled. “They can’t ex- pel him for that, can they?” “Well, they can’t give all of a teacher’s time to one boy, and unless they find something out of the way about him, in one direction or an- other, there seems to be nowhere they can put him.” She sniffled woefully. “He’s — he’s a sort of outcast. There must be something fundament- ally the matter with him.” Mr. Willet bowed his head on his hands. “Poor Bill,” he muttered, “our son, a black sheep.” Spring Drive (Continued from page 168) wouldn’t have done the thing you did today after the way I’ve acted, and I want you to know I’m really thankful.” “Well, Birler, as confessions seem to be in order, then I have one to make. I acted about Joan the way I did for about the same reason you did and as for pulling up stakes I’m doing the same thing, I’m through. The only favor you can do for me is to be my pal again and we’ll start all over. What say?” “Thanks, Jed, that’s just what I wanted to hear you say,” answered Birler with a catch in his voice. At that moment Herb appeared on the scene. “Well, now that you two have decided to be peaceful and not fight like a couple of Kill- kenney cats, maybe I’ll have a chance to tell you something I’ve been trying to tell you all winter. As far as Joan Wilton goes you two could have saved yourselves an awful lot of trouble because she’s engaged to Charlie Cun- ningham, that college fellow that works sum- mers at the mill.” “What! Well I’ll be jiggered,” said Birler and Jed together. “It’s the truth but that’s just like a woman. Stay like me boys, be kind to ’em all but in- terested in none,” replied Herb as he walked away. “Yeah! Be kind to ’em all but interested in none, the old fraud,” said Jed in an undertone.

How is she holding out so strongly and stub- bornly? I was talking to a young Chinese friend a few weeks ago and heard his version. This fellow came to America ten years ago as a student and has since remained to build up a business. He gave me a few interesting side- lights; here they are:— First and foremost, my friend is a Canton- ese. It seems that the Cantonese are the nomads of China; all over the world where there is a Chinese, that Chinese is more than likely to be from Canton. The greatest fighters in China are the 19th Cantonese army. These fellows have been mixed up in every war in China until now “war is nothing more to them than eating”. How any one could be prouder of this army than my young friend, I don’t know. If you have been reading the news- papers, you know that it was the Cantonese who held out so long at Woosung, a feat to be marveled at. “Woosung,” he said, “is on a peninsula, which juts out into the river and the Japanese warships from their position could literally pour gun-fire on this port. Yet, the ‘boys’ held out. Oh, they’re all big fellows,” said he, “and how they can fight! If they had been able to reach Manchuria in time, they would have beaten the Japs right out of the country. “The Japs have all the theoretical training and all the proper equipment for fighting, but the Chinese have the practical experience.” To bring in a more personal touch: He told me of two young men who had attended college with him but who were now in the Chinese air service. One of these fellows went up to do combat with three Jap planes, and had man- aged to bring one down when he was wounded himself. He fortunately landed back of his own lines and immediately went aloft in an- other plane. In another minute he was dead. Now his cousin, a basketball star at McGill University in Canada, has gone back home to join the air service. Will he come out alive? Meanwhile, according to reports, the soldiers of fortune have turned their eyes towards China. From all over the world these adven- turers are on their way to the current war. I read that one hundred jobless Canadian pilots desire to go in a body! I wondered how long it would be before an American would turn up in this war. Robert Short did — and then he died. What was the story back of this young fellow? Why was he there at all? Interesting men these wanderers who provide thrilling copy for “Page 1”. But as you read the newspaper reports com- ing to America, take the advice of our old friend, Will Rogers, and deduct 50from the reports. Will has just returned from China and he says that the AP reporters are forced to color up their stories to get them by the cen- sors. By the time you read this article, what will have happened ? Will China of Japan have sur- rendered or will the war still continue in all its bitterness? Time will tell. 174 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT AN interest in biography probably the best-selling, most discussed type of non-fiction is revealed consistently in the following book reports:— MARLBOROUGH “Marlborough” was written by Donald Barr Chidsey, a promising American author. Chid- sey’s style is carefree; he arranges the histor- ical events in a very amusing manner. I don’t believe he becomes serious once in the entire book. Even Marlborough is revealed as a traitor and a hypocrite but he did almost everything well. He danced well and was perfectly at ease in the presence of the noble ladies at the court. He was a clever politician and a great diplomat. He was an expert swordsman, a graceful eques- trian, and a crack tennis player. The greatest of all his good points was his genius as a mili- tary leader and general. I was greatly pleased with this book. The exciting life of the duke and the excellent writ- ing of Chidsey makes the story one of great interest and benefit to the reader. Much of his- tory and conditions in the English courts is learned by reading this book. Joseph E. Panza, ’32. FROM EMIGRANT TO INVENTOR Michael Pupin, author of this autobiography, was the sort of person who would get ahead himself and advance the knowledge of the world. He remembered his past experiences and used them to guide him in his future. He learned very rapidly. Pertaining to some ex- periments in electricity, some great men guessed at an outcome but their guesses were wrong. Pupin thought his question through and used some of his past readings in his thoughts. Then when he came out with his answer he was correct. Pupin’s writing makes plain and clear read- ing. In the book, there is not much humor, but there is a great deal of thought and com- mon sense. If you are in the frame of mind to read a sensible book, it is here, but if you want entertainment, I should not recommend Pupin’s autobiography. Donald Foote, ’32. WITH LAWRENCE IN ARABIA By Lowell Thomas This is the story of the travels and adven- tures of a man with a great personality told by an expert in writing. The author has a sort of self-luminous style that is evident in what- ever he writes. He is exceptionally clear in all of his descriptions. At times he uses fairly long sentences but they are clear in every de- tail. The author uses words that convey ex- act meanings. I liked the book very much, because it told of the doings of a real person and that kind of story can be visualized very easily. Beverly Nickerson, ’32. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 175 AMUNSDEN, THE SPLENDID NORSEMAN This book, by Bellamy Partridge, is dedicated to the life of Roald Amunsden. It is written in splendid English and shows that the man who wrote the book really understood the in- nermost thoughts of the famous explorer. That Partridge had a vast knowledge too of the North is shown by his wonderful descriptions. The story of Amunsden’s noble sacrifice in the end leaves no doubt in our mind of the bravery of this splendid Norseman. The ad- ventures of the man who made so many scien- tific explorations at the North and South poles cannot but prove interesting. I think that any boy who has any love of adventure (as most boys have), should read this book. It is edu- cational and interesting, and not one page of the book offers dry reading. Samuel Wieseman, ’32. BIOGRAPHY OF THOMAS EDISON William H. Meadowcroft’s “Boy’s Life of Thomas Edison” makes us realize that every- body’s respect is due Mr. Edison for his noble gift to mankind in the form of his many discoveries and that no person will ever be able to thank him to the degree that his suc- cesses merit. The writer quotes anecdotes told by Edison during his lifetime and succeeds in making the reader look forward to these always humorous and choice selections. His style is very interesting and easily understood. My opinion of the book is very high, and I certainly wish that all books could be as inter- esting as this one. Alphonse Bilodeau, ’32. Incidently we have added to our school library, Francis Trevelyan Miller’s “Thomas A. Edison” which is an unusually attractive bi- ography and which includes to increase its ap- peal, the famous Edison questionnaires in the appendix. OLD CHINA AND MODERN GALLANTRY Of the various essays that J have read, two by Charles Lamb seemed to me to be the most worth while, because I got more out of them than any of the others. These two were “Modern Gallantry” and “Old China”. They are of two very different types. The latter seems to flow as evenly and impartially as a man’s thoughts while sitting before a fireplace smoking a pipe. It is the author’s explanation of the enjoyment that he gets from the memories that are brought to his mind about the time when he was poor. The former is a strictly sarcastic piece of work in which he denounces the manners of the men of his time. Both essays are easily read and enjoyed because of the style in which they are written. They are penned in a clear, simple, straight- forward manner; the style that would be used by a man who has no intention of showing his knowledge of the meaning of a large number of uncommon words, that is, words not com- monly used by the middle class of people. He knew what he wanted to say and he said it in a very definite way. He stated the facts as they appeared to him. “Modern Gallantry” was intended for the male population to read and to profit by. “Old China” is a more familiar piece of work. The reading makes one think that he is talking to the author and not reading his ideas. It gives the feeling of a quiet short chat with the author. If a person did not knew that both essays were written by the same man, he would form very different opinions of the supposed writers. One would judge the writer of “Old China” as a quiet, kind-hearted old gentleman with happy and yet regretful thoughts of his near- ending life. The writer of “Modern Gallantry” would appear to be a younger man who was extremely fond of a sister or his mother, and who thought that every other man should have the same ideas. He expresses these thoughts in very strong language to try, possibly, to shame others into his way of thinking. Fred Flint, ’32. The Year 2000 Mother: “Willy, you’ve been a very naughty boy. Go to the vibrator this instant, and give yourself a good spanking.” 176 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR As we haven’t seen the “Oracle” from the Man- chester. New Hampshire, High School for some time, we will give it first place on our list. There was a stirring poem entitled “The Fallen Monarch” in the number we received. It told of the fall of a mighty bull moose. Quite attractive reading for anyone in- terested in hunting. The “Oracle” also contained a fine editorial on “The Things We Meant To Do”. The printers made an error in the Exchange Column in the February “Radiator”. In the comment on the Nantucket “Sea Chest” it was “TARS” that were pull- ing on the ropes, not “TOES”! Guess I’ll have to look to my penmanship after this. Another paper which has net been in our mailbag for sometime is the “Punch Harder” from the Pun- chard High School in Andover, Mass. Their number was filled with some exceptionally good humor. Here are a few jokes from their “Heard Around The School” column. I’ve omitted names and used dashes instead. ----: Give me the principal parts of “skate”. ----: Skato, slipere, falli, bumptus. ----: Rallio, failere, flunki, suspendum. ----: What’s your definition for a straight line? ----: (Absent-mindedly) Nothing but the truth, sir. —Exchange. Nana: “Johnny, I wouldn’t slide down those stairs.” Johnny: “Gee, Nana, you couldn’t!” ----: Who was the conqueror of Greece? ----: Dutch Cleanser. (Another case of absent- mindedness.) We acknowledge “Maury News”, Maury High School, Norfolk. Virginia; Somerville Post, American Legion, “Gas Attack” and the Massachusetts State “Collegian”. We received two new papers last month, namely: The “Campus Cub” from Houston, Texas, and the “Northern Light” from Cordova, Alaska. Both papers were very interesting, and you may be sure that a copy of the “Radiator” will be sent to both these distant exchanges. The “Manet” from the North Quincy High School has a most original paper. Every department was headed by a small snapshot of its editor. Why not keep all your jokes in the “Jester’s Column” instead of mixing seme up with the advertisements? In the Exchange column of the “Bostonian” from the Boys’ Roxbury Memorial High School, we found this:— “The Radiator deserves a rather “warm” reception. It is certainly one of the best high school magazines we have seen as yet.” The “Curtin Junior Citizen” from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, also had a good word for us:— ‘ The Humor-ettes of the ‘Radiator’ were very amus- ing.” “Dot Dix’s Grandma” in the “Pine Whispers” for the R. J. Reynolds High in Winston-Salem, N. C., gave this advice to a young somebody who wanted to know how he could stop blushing:— “Dear Junior, Use a mixture of sulphuric acid and lye. I guar- antee you no more worry from blushing. D. D. G.” One: “What geometric figure does an escaped parrot bring to mind?” Other: “A poly-gon.” With this bit of humor we introduce again a well- known Exchange, the “Huntington School Record”. An excellent editorial on “I” and interesting news events gave us some good reading. We received a copy of the Boston Latin School “Register”. It is a publication that the Latin School should be proud of. They had a kind comment on our “Radiator” which came by letter as they have no Exchange column. “We were at the same time surprised and pleased to receive the copy of your very interesting periodical which you so kindly sent us. We enjoyed it very much and hope that we may look forward, without too much presumption, to seeing it again in the near future—.” From the “Enterprise” of the Memorial High School in Roxbury comes this amusing paragraph:— “How old are you?” inquired the visitor of his host’s little son. “That is a difficult question,” answered the young Boston lad, removing his glasses and wiping them re- flectively. “The latest personal survey available shows my pyschological age to be twelve, my moral age four, my anatomical age seven, and my physiological age six. I suppose, however, that you refer to my chronological age which is eight. That’s so old-fash- ioned that I seldom think of it any more.” Can you imagine how the visitor felt after hearing that recital? The “Arrow” from the Lakewood, Ohio, High had an excellent literary section. One story entitled “Duty Bound” was a newspaper tale and we felt quite at home when we found that the paper the hero reporter worked for was the Boston Herald. The story had a very tragic ending. After the reporter fell off the slippery cat-walk, — “The first edition was delayed not over ten minutes.’ This is all I have for this time, readers, so adieu. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 177 THINGS have been rather quiet this past month with us. It really is the lull before the storm, however, as the climax of our year’s program is just in sight. More about this later. Just now there is a pro- gram in rehearsal which many of you may at- tend. This is the play entitled “The Minuet”. It is to be a reading-walking and, from the elab- orate plans set forth for it, should be quite a fine performance. Get friendly with a P. C. member, as you were advised by the Junior Class editor and have them invite you. A fine skating party was enjoyed by many of the members on February 19th. Now for some old business. Due to lack of space, our last report neglected to mention the many fine characters which Mr. George Pear- son portrayed in his program for the club. Suffice it to say that these were all varied and all finely drawn. We also neglected to report that John Elliott played a part in one of our reading-walkings, “Lotus Blossoms”. + + A CALL TO THE INTELLECT OF MY FELLOW CLASSMATES By Elsie Jacob, ’32 You have it! I have it! Everyone has it! Why, then, don’t we all use it? I refer, of course, to the intellectual ability of our mental machines. It seems to me that it is rather ungrateful of us not to take more interest in the groups that have been formed for our benefit. I think it a privilege to attend, for instance, the Prose Club or the Poetry Club. I only take these two for example, there are also a number of other interesting activities that flourish in our school. Why, if it is a privilege, do we not gladly participate in these organizations and help to make them more interesting for others?' These groups are for us, and, therefore, should be supported by us. You perhaps have not at- tended one of the many meetings. You do not know the valuable hour or so that is spent in the library or in the music hall, valuable be- cause it gives to us the finer points that the class room has no time to point out. In the Prose and Poetry Clubs there has been a most interesting guest artist at each meet- ing. I cannot give due credit, in my words, to the ability of these speakers, therefore, I ask, and even urge, you to join us and find out for yourself the benefits that can be derived from listening to the wiser words of others. Alumni Notes mi Helen Merry and Elizabeth C. MacLeod have been pledged to the Delta Chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi at Tufts College. 1923 Edward Jeremiah, a Somerville High pro- duct, is well known to Greater Boston sports followers. Mr. Jeremiah first played with Somerville High School. He moved on to Hebron Academy, coached by Danny MacFay- den, the Red Sox pitcher, and then to Dart- mouth, where he starred in hockey, baseball, and football. The New York Americans signed Eddie. After a brief trial he was sent to the New Haven Eagles. The Americans recalled Jeremiah. The Cubs obtained the Somerville boy in a trade involving Joe McGoldrick, for- ward and cash. Eddie Jeremiah has been a bright player of hockey throughout the season. 1922 Morris Roberts is playing hockey with the New Haven Eagles, a professional team. He has been outstanding in the games here at Bos- ton. 178 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1932 DEDICATED TO THE COLLEGE COURSE By John East. Sage of 1932 Come on, boys, let’s go to college, Learn as much as we can stand, Strive to gather higher knowledge — Be the intelligensia of our land. For, if we become the smartest, Jobs will throw themselves at us And while earning ample salaries, We can go on any “bust”. Yes, lads, follow teacher’s maxims, Work twelve hours every day, So astonished friends will mutter:— “My, how did he get that way?” We the “cream” of senior high school, Studying hour after hour, Learning formulae and grammar — We the cream — ah, yes, turned sour. Bulletin: Irving Murray, popular (?) Columnist, is now at the Moonyside Hospital, victim of a shock said to have been precipitated by the receipt of twelve unsolicited class notes. In his brief absence (groans of dismay), his place will be filled by Walter LyncheU, another lunatic. Walter Lynched on Highland Avenue. Things you never noodle now: Mrs. Lynchell’s boy Walter is a very great newspaper man. A few weeks ago while a group was rehearsing a play in Miss Jackson’s room, the subject of make-up was brought up. Miss Jackson said that she was quite adept at applying theatrical make-up. William Reidy, who, heretofore had been a rather silent partici- pant in the conversation, made the wise remark: “I wish that you would make up my ‘D’ ”. And here’s the latest dope on the Highland Avenue “First Night of the Millionaire”, scheduled for April 1st. If you recall the production is being staged by Michelson, Cannon, and Down, Inc., Alfalfa-tamers. And — oh, here is the name of the star: David O’Brien, who plays the part of “The Millionaire”. And oppo- site him — ah, what a break for Dave — opposite him, Marguerite Herman will be cast. And according to the Lynched formula for dramatic acting, Miss Herman promises to be a good orphan for the occasion. I notice that the athletic editor is now calling him “the versatile Traniedo”. Well — he has been called other names! Wonder if there is anyone in the class who has not heard of L—e, L—en—n, and T—oe—n by this time? You should have heard the National Honor Society executive committee’s report read by the Honorable Smith, J. It was a gem. This winter’s All-Scholastic quarterbacks are going full blast in the lunchroom these days, especially Donoughue. Does Murray go crazy trying to get up a program for the Poetry Club? We’ll tell you Oscar, he most certainly does and we have to put up with it. Isn’t Joe Panza the verbose young man when on T. S. duty? Oh, ye—e—es! Wed, we can now carry on our conversations in peace while mounting the back stairs, East Building. The noble Junior, (gr-r), with the mighty lungs has been transferred. Still it is rather quiet without his “STOP THAT TALKING. QUIET PLEASE. WALK QUICKLY HERE”. Ah me! Wed, that’s ad for today. And this is Mrs. Lynchell’s boy, Walter, signing off and bidding you all “Better Luck next time”. Addenda No doubt many will agree that Mrs. Lynched’s boy, Walter, is very entertaining; but there will be many others . . . Believe it or not, ad the above class notes were contributed, free of charge. Could we make it a habit? Senior—Sophomore debate in the offing. Here’s to the Seniors, may they win! But the Sophs have a fine team, as proved at the Soph-Junior affair. But, Seniors, you know! What chance can Sophs have against such as O’Connell, Smith. Sherman, and An- derson ? Watch this column next month for a poem about the normal course, school teachers-to-be! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 170 Jackie East, the author of the above poem hurled at the collegians will handle your case next month. See you soon if the college board exams don’t get me! Most people have no difficulty in finding the liquid “i” sound in soup. (Bouillon—French.) The Spanish have nothing on us as far as serenading goes. We are ever serenaded by birds in the chemis- try lecture hall. 1933 I’ll begin by putting the Sophomore Class editor in his place. I think it’s about time those insignificant Sophs learned to respect their elders. Anyway, I know all about being taken for a ride. These engineers, they’ve simply too clever! And yet, it took two of them to put a xylophone together. They urge us to patronize our cafeteria. Wei!, they’d better invent a way to keep those eclairs from ruining every thing by oozing out at unexpected times and places. A certain Senior boy solved the problem ingeniously by drinking the cream through a straw. Speaking of clever Seniors, you should get in on some of the speeches of the “Daniel Webster” of the Play- ers’ Club — John Elliott. We certainly admire Shakespeare, especially having seen his name spelled rather queerly, recently. But there’s one thing I can’t quite comprehend. In “As You Like It”, he writes of the Forest of Arden in which he has palm and oak trees growing side by side with serpents, lions and deer prowling around in the same vicinity. In ancient history, a smart Junior suggested that the Romans might have embalmed their dead by wrap- ping them in cellophane. At any rate, there were a great many things wrapped in cellophane in the Art Museum in Boston. Go and look for yourself if you don’t believe me. Do you wonder how I happen to know so much about the museum? I’m surprised that I know so much. One thing, it’s a huge place to walk all over! What I mean! I have learned by sad experience that “freedom of speech and PRESS” does not apply to class editors, especially Juniors, to a certain extent. At last I have found out what the T. S.’s are good for. They furnish a bit of humor occasionally. F’r instance, one of the aforesaid T. S.’s entered a class about five minutes late. Teacher: “Where is your station, anyway, down in the Junior High?” In an algebra class lately a certain boy discovered that one of his examples was wrong and turning angrily to his pal, said: “You stupid egg”. Get the connection? Mr. Hosmer’s analysis of athletics: “A boy plays football until about twenty, tennis until about fifty, and golf until about ninety — with moderations.” This is what I call a snappy come-back:— He: “You can drop a bomb, aimed for one place and have it land miles away.” Him: “Yes, you can, but an expert bomber wouldn’t.” It took a whole ancient history period to figure out this business of Augusti and Caesari; it seems that Diocletian started the mixup by making Maximian his co-Augustus. They chose their Caesari, Constantius and Galerius. Constantius chose his Caesar, Maxentius who wasn’t because Constantine was. Figure it out for yourself. It’s just as clear as mud. Did you know that Rome was once put up for auction? (“Believe it or not”, this was not taken from Ripley.) Chemistry Teacher: “What is sal ammonia used in?” Bright Pupil (Junior, of course): “Sal Hepatica.” In the same class the teacher was trying to get the correct answer for the question: “How would you -BIOLOGY- 180 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR prove that there is carbon dioxide in this room?” All the various tests, lime-water, etc., were given and somehow the class got on the track of CO,, in the lungs and air which we exhale, so during one of the quiet moments which indicated cogitation, a boy said suddenly: “Sneeze”! We also learned that effervescence is the high-toned word for “fiz”. When you want some tongue twisters, don’t go to a dictionary, get a book on Organic Chemistry. Here arc a few suggested by Mr. Obear:— Metatolugle-Nedianine, Hexamethyltene-Tetranine, Paradrhydroxybenzene, and Monohydrosuccinic acid. Now, please don’t ask me to pronounce them, I can’t even divide them into syllables. I hope the printer has better luck than I did. In our home room recently the notices were read and for a moment silence reigned. (In fact it poured.) Then one pupil in a worried tone asked: “Isn’t (name of teacher) absent?” Once in a while even a sermon can have its humor- ous bits, such as these:— The little daughter of a minister had told her father that the pastor of a nearby church had a reputa- tion for never preaching the same sermon twice. One day after hearing this man preach, however, she confided to her father: “Dad, I don’t wonder he never preaches the same sermon twice.” A preacher, as he began a rather hastily prepared sermon said: “I don’t know exactly what to talk about.” Just then a little boy in the front row said in a very audible whisper to his mother: “I wish he’d talk about a minute.” Mr. Hosmer told us that although we may have trouble understanding the languages of the Romans and the French, there is one language every one can understand and — the language of a smile. Never confuse apart and aside in stage directions such as “Taking Mr. Brown — apart.” Why do the teachers persist in calling Miss Hospins Allis-sillya ? Ending with a poem seemed to meet with favor, the last time I tried it so here’s another that nicely expresses the sentiments of many a high school stu- dent :— It makes you angry, you’ll allow, When motor friends you spy, To have ’em gaily smile and bow, And keen on whizzing by. 1934 “In the wood the verdure’s shooting Joy oppressed like some fair maiden, Yet the sun laughs sweetly downward Welcome young Spring rapture laden.” —Books of Songs—Heine. Yes, the Spring is here, the buds are bursting, and the grass is shooting and soon our “inspired” poets will be blossoming forth in unheard-of numbers. Sym- tons of Spring fever are already present in some of the remarks made in our classes. A pupil after putting a sentence on the board was told to dot his i’s. Unfortunately, the word eyes was in the sentence so this brilliant Soph immediately placed two dots neatly over the word eyes. In geometry when we were asked what was neces- sary to draw a circle, after a minute’s meditation, one of our clever Sophs replied: “Why, a compass and a pencil.” Another pupil well known to all of 251 as the “sun- shine” of the room when questioned as to where his literature book was, he replied: “Oh, I finished read- ing it and now my mother is reading it.” Of course you realize that our class is a very or- derly? and well behaved? one but the other day one of our teachers actually insulted us by saying that after she had seen us she believed Darwin was right about evolution. Tsk! Tsk! Imagine it! Our per- fect? class! A classmate brought out this astonishing statement during one of our English periods: “She sat down to the piano and ran over the keys.” Pretty tough on the piano! Eh? When the following appeared on the board we thought that we must be at a football game but we latter learned it was an unusual method of presenting our English assignment:— dog 0 2 name 0 2 A great deal of consternation arises from the trans- lation of a, ab, e, ex and de, all of which mean “from” in different ways. For instance, if you want to say: “Having seized a trumpet FROM a soldier,” you might say: “Tuba rapta ex milite,” and discover you’d said: “Out of a soldier”. Thus your faithful editor has performed his duty and now says, “Adios”, until next issue. In the mean- time beware of the flower with pistols and the shoot- ing blades of grass. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 181 BASKETBALL REASONS ANI) RESULTS HAT is it that Somerville High ath- letes are so afraid of? It isn’t Frankenstein nor Dracula nor yet even the Medford jinx. It’s marks — report card marks — especially the blushing D’s and E’s — that are their dreaded enemy. Perhaps the basketball squad, of all teams, was most seriously crippled by ineligibility. Among those players who were mowed down by the quarterly grim reaper were Captain Bud Buckley and Pat Duggan, both varsity forwards, and Charlie Holden, rangy pivot man. Of course, the greatest blow was the news that Edward Chebrook could no longer electrify the fans with his dashing performances. Ah me! Anyway, the efficiency of the quintet was considerably lessened and, as a consequence, two very important league games were lost. First, at St. Mary’s gym, in a very discour- aging exhibition, Somerville bowed to Rindge 88 to 19. The boys were completely befuddled by the fast-breaking, sharp-shooting Tech crowd. One Cantab forward, Byington by name, per- sonally accounted for no less than sixteen units (almost equalling our whole team’s score), while their tip-off man, Minihan, was not far behind with twelve points. However, the S. H. S. Seconds were much more valiant, eking out a 26 to 25 victory over their foes. This victory was some com- pensation for the varsity’s loss and a pair of our worthy “compensators” are H. MacLeod and Plummer, both of whom kept the score keepers busy. At Newton, the weakened Red and Blue quin- tet dropped out of the league’s first place, mainly because the band of Newtonites took advantage of the number of foul shots awarded them because of the over anxiety with which our boys defended. No less than eleven points were caged by these eagle-eyed hoops ter s, who finally won with a 25 to 17 score. To partially avenge this set back, our second played like demons and completely downed their opponents. Here is a list of some Somerville athletes who impressed us with their work: “Caveman” Hamilton, Captain Billy Bolster, and Jack East. 4 4 4 THE GREAT MELROSE GAME A crippled S. H. S. team motored to Melrose to once again challenge the hoopsters of that over-grown village, and did they perform a “Ned Brant” against this surprised contingent, oh boy! But first hear about the scrappy Team B contest. The enemy’s hoop seemed like a mag- net to the popping shots of our boys and the score at the end was as one-sided as would be a fight between Camera and a flyweight. The rollicking Joe Davis was so enthusias- tically received here that he graciously invited every one around to read some of his press clip- pings. Good old Joe. And believe it or not “Zebra” Mamacos was a high scorer of the outfit. The account of the varsity victory, however, read like a Horatio Alger book. The first half found us trailing by five points, while the con- fident Melrose quintet had a lead of eleven units; Somerville’s chances seemed paper thin. But Bob Buckley’s boys are a valiant lot, and point by point they crept up till with but one minute to play the scoreboard read: Melrose leads 24 to 22. Then the stage was set for Fitzpatrick’s dramatic climax. On a snappy Bolster pass he 182 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR swooped in the tying tally and happily re- warded our fighting band’s efforts. Not content with that, however, the same “Fitzie” when fouled by an over-anxious player, calmly stepped to the free-throw line and pandemon- ium broke loose in our ranks. In the retreat of the bus the excitement of the thriller still remained, and the trip home was hardly dull. To let off steam they engaged in a tussle from which your correspondent emerged quite mussed up. And believe me, when I testify that, as a basketballer, “Crinkle hair” Van Ummerson is some tussler. CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES LOST Against Rindge, our traditional rival, the Somerville Five slumped and was hopelessly outclassed. Only late in the fray did any Red and Blue combination click, and then it was too late to benefit the weak side. Stobo, the Tech streak, led the enemy at- tack with such dash that our boys were quite submerged during the first two stanzas. This former Somerville lad dribbled through our de- fense with the zip of a firecracker, while his teammate, Parker, bombarded our net with deadly accuracy. This great combination was easily our Waterloo. However, during the closing chapter S. H. S. did make a gallant, if unavailing bid, and once warmed up, big “Pete” Hamilton thundered all over the court, accounting for several fine shots as also did “Romeo” Fitzpatrick, the flashing forward. From the sidelines Bud Buckley, ineligible hoopster, shouted words of encouragement (?) especially to Joe Davis, the only rival of “Schnazzle” Durrante. And so even though defeated, the team was not entirely discour- aged. Cliffy Pace, Sophomore varsity defense man, performed quite notably in this contest. TRACK STATE MEET February 27 — A company of Somerville High’s mercury men trekked into the volumi- nous Boston Garden to participate in the State meet on this afternoon and, while slipping on their flimsy sneakers, they resolved that our good old institution would obtain recognition in these annual interscholastic games. The re- sults of their vows and endeavors were that S. H. S. placed third (quite an achievement) with a dozen and a split unit. Bob Hayes and Captain Peter Dellicolli, the brace of Red and Blue speed merchants, flew down the half-century dash lanes and crossed the finish line each pressing the victor in second and third place. Over the low sticks, George Arbeene, the young Tarzan, proved himself a hurdler of merit when he shadowed the winner across the tape as No. 2 man, thus boosting the stock of our academy on the scoreboard. Two other runners of our contingent placed against competition in the “300” and “600”, but were not lucky enough to clip the time of the stop-watch. They are Noyes and Harold Senior. In the crowning event of the athletic exhibi- tion, the team relays, the Red and Blue’s fleet representatives beat Haverhill handily, but were just edged out by Everett to place second. The performance of our relayers warrants the acknowledgment of their identity: Arbeene, Gaudet, Dellicolli, and Di Nappoli. Somerville High certainly proved at the Gar- dens that it is becoming a power in scholastic track circles. 4 4 4 WATERTOWN Our 1932 Indoor Track Club has little re- spect for the opinions of authorities. Al- though they knew that Watertown was picked by experts to take S. H. S. in their dual meet, they contemptuously snapped their fingers and showed their heels to the upset favorites. After the fireworks were over, the scorers com- puted the points and, lo and behold, Somerville, with 43 digits to 34, was acclaimed winner. The smooth striding Bob Hayes continued his winning streaks by streaking down the 40- yard aisle in first place, while popular Bernie Gaudet not only was in the placing trio here, but also hammered out the fastest “300” clocking. Fletcher was No. 2 man in the timed heats of this run. (Please turn to page 184) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 183 Humor-ettes___ Ronald Brooks may excel at making speeches to an audience, but to a lady — well, draw your own conclusions. Recently at an evening affair he met a mem- ber of our distinguished faculty and greeted her, “Hello, Miss So-and-so! You look posi- tively wonderful! To see you around school in the daytime, no one would ever think you could look like that!” Heard at a Rehearsal Pupil: “Who’s going to make us up?” Teacher: “I am.” Pupil: “Oh, can you make up?” Teacher: “Yes, indeed.” Voice in the background: “Make up a ‘D’ for me, will you?” “How did your father know we went out in the car yesterday?” “Quite simple! Remember that stout gentle- man we ran into? That was father.” “Is it possible, I wonder,” mused the intelli- gent milkman as he added a fourteenth quart of Grade A milk to the layout on the back porch, “that these people are out of town?” Today the average white collar worker is wondering where his next white collar is com- ing from. Manager (to young boy seeking employ- ment) : “Weren’t you here two weeks ago, and didn’t I tell you then I needed an older boy?” “Yes, sir. That’s why I’ve come back.” Old Lady (at the zoo): “Is that a man-eat- ing lion?” Fed-up Keeper: “Yes, lady, but we’re short of men this week; so all he gets is beef.” Ike: “So you spent your summer at a fash- ionable resort, eh?” Mike: “Fashionable! They even put on rid- ing-breeches to toss horseshoes.” The little boy said to his father: “Say, Dad, that apple I just ate had a worm in it, and I ate that too.” “What?” said his startled parent, “here drink this water and wash it down.” But Junior shook his head: “Aw, let ’im walk down.” Hay: “My wife hit me with a jug.” Seed: “Did the jug break?” Hay: “No, it was full of hard cider.” Teacher: “You are late for school again this morning, Samuel! Why?” Sam: “Oh, the bell always rings before I get here.” What a remarkable looking cat!” said the visitor. “I don’t believe I have ever seen one with such unusual coloring.” “No,” remarked the artist’s wife, “I don’t believe so either. My husband wipes his brushes on everything.” 184 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The chief pleasure in using a taxi is the care- free feeling you have when the fenders crumble. Pauline: “Louise, have you read ‘Freckles’?” Louise: “No, mine are brown.” “Mother, did you ever hear a rabbit bark?” “Rabbits don’t bark, dear.” “That’s funny! My story-book says the rab- bits eat cabbage and bark.” Walter: “Have you heard the latest news?” Munroe: “No.” Walter: “John swallowed ten cents, and the doctor made him cough up two dollars.” Irate Diner: “Here, waiter, I just found this vest button in my soup. What do you think about it?” Waiter (beaming): “Oh, thank you, sir; I had been looking for it all over the pantry.” Mother: “Robert, you’re a naughty boy. You can just go to bed without your supper.” Robert: “Well, mother, what about that med- icine I have to take after meals?” Mamma: “Edwin, you have made a grease spot on the new lounge with your bread and butter.” Edwin: “Well, don’t worry, mamma, we can always sit on it when there’s company in the parlor.” Insight Dentist: “You really should have come sooner.” Victim: “Oogle, google, gurg kug!” Dentist: “Yes, yes, I quite understand.” WATERTOWN (Continued from page 182) Our “600” representatives were not fast enough to pass the speedy Gleason, of Water- town, but the sorrel-thatched Kennedy was re- warded for his dogged race with third-place points. However, the featured 1,000-yard run brought joy to our loyal rooters, because it was a clean sweep for the Red and Blue. Baird, running his usual brilliant race was the victor, with Worth and Goldstein following. Phil Moran, the flying usher, claims he could have easily won, but that he courteously dropped back to comfort the lagging rival runners. Al- ways the gentleman, you know. Over the low fences Pigott was the only hurdler to obtain any points for our side, but our luck was better when the high jump event took place. Here Baskiwicz (I was never good at spelling), and Smith, the flames, leaped high enough to place as runner-ups. The stocky George Arbeene won the broad jump with a great leap in which he rocketed himself 9 feet, 3 4 inches. Then to prove his versatility he heaved the shot for third place. The one who captured No. 2 place here was Gene Falco. Although he was handicapped by street clothes, he put the iron a great distance. In the relay our gallant squad clinched the contest by burning up the cinders to nose out Watertown. Useful Gifts ....

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 133 “—With My Little Hatchet” HAT do you know about Wash- ton’s early life?” asks the history teacher. Then he scans the class room, finally calling upon the person who is least likely to know the answer. “Er—oh— a—ahem—er— when he was a little boy his father bought him a ‘little hatchet’ and while playing one day he chopped down a little cherry tree. When his father noticed the empty place he was about to look at little son George when Georgie immediately came for- ward saying: ‘Father, I did it with my little hatchet’. After such an admission what could father say but: ‘Son, if you only will tell the truth willingly, as you just did, I shan’t care if you chop down the whole orchard.’ ” Feel- ing quite puffed up over his smooth narration, the star history pupil sinks into his seat and receives a nice fat “A” (?). When many of us hear of Washington, we think of this hatchet incident first and imagine a model young son, reared in ruffles, and almost too sweet to live. What a queer reality that such a child should develop into that courage- ous, brainy general of whom we read in tales of Valley Forge. In truth the historian thought so highly of Washington’s character as a boy and as a man he could not find words high enough in his esti- mation to do justice to the “Father of our Country” so in an effort to impress Washing- ton’s calibre upon us, he wrote this anecdote not expecting for a moment perhaps that it would become a synonym for truth, honesty or any other great virtue. I have no doubt but that George Washington would like to be thought of as an ordinary, all- round boy, a boy with his characteristic joys and burdens, with the usual desire for playing pranks which accompany boyhood. Now that we know how this saying came about we can discount to a certain extent, but at the same time credit him as an all-round boy with a sterling character. Sometimes I prick up my ears, so to speak, and get the gist of a nearby conversation. Per- haps a period or so before some classmate joined others in a general uproar during the teacher’s absence. The teacher evidently re- turned quite unexpectedly and overheard the disturbance and when she asked who the noisy ones were this person stood up. Well, because she immediately admitted her guilt, the teacher excused her from the “seventh” for which the others were drafted. “A regular ‘I did it with my little hatchet’ person, eh?” comments one of the group. It seems that that was a sort of a ridiculous attitude to take. Why not give the pupil credit for having starch enough (though it shouldn’t take any, it often does) to stand up and admit that she was in the wrong. Certainly it’s just as easy to spend a seventh period whether you admit your fault or not. In the above case it was better. It seems to me it should be much less disgraceful if you have been truthful and square about the whole thing. Let’s not be afraid of being labeled as an ‘T did it with my little hatchet” person. If we are fine and willing to admit that we are at fault when we are, then it would seem that we should get much farther in the world. Others have, for we know how much confidence our forefathers had in Washington and without doubt many looked upon him as a “goodie- goodie”, yet he was true at heart and it is very seldom that the real, genuine thing can be torn down. Let’s not be afraid of being too good! W. C. R. 134 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR GETTING OUR TERM REPORTS By Barbara A. Sewall, ’34 THERE is an air of solemnity about the class, and silence hangs heavily on the air that is usually filled with stifled snickers and whispers of dismissal time. What makes the usual “Fool of the Class” so silent and down-trodden looking? Why has the “Perfect Boy” such a beaming and benevolent appearance; even more so than usual? Why has the teacher such a look of fate and of ill bodings? Aha! I have it! She is giving out the term report cards. She is handing them out now, with a smile and a nod to some and a grim look of “I told you so”, to others. The “Fool of the Class” sneaks sheepishly up, taking from the teach- er’s forbidding hand, that hated article, while the “Perfect Boy” minces daintily up with his tie straight, his glasses shining, and his hair brushed. The most popular girl strolls non- chalantly up, and strolls worriedly back with a little frown between her eyes. With the usual rush of sighs, giggles and sick expressions, the others march up to be squelched or livened as the case may be. One could easily liken the teacher to one of the Fates or Justice herself, as she stands there, bringing misery or joy into the lives of the victims for a few hours. As the pupils file out, she gives each the look she feels is due, and settles back to think: “Well, that’s over. Tomorrow I’ll give another test.” 4- 4 4- A TRIP TO THE MOON By Helen Robinson, ’32 Tuesday morning I gathered my books and thought, “H’m, astronomy first period. More comets and nebulae, I suppose.” After climb- ing to the third floor, I entered Room 307. Ah, visitors — Mr. Plantings and Mr. Obear. And Allen Mosher earnestly clutching a “mike” at the front of the room. This looked as if it were going to be good. Then Allen an- nounced :— “Station SHS. You are going to hear the broadcast of the much talked-of ‘trip to the moon’. In three minutes we will be hooked up with the California station, five miles from the desert-spot selected for the take-off of this specially constructed rocket. With a telescope, observers are going to watch the journey of this rocket to the yet unexplored satellite of the earth, the moon.” The minutes ticked slowly by, and then the voice of the California announcer. (We sus- pect George Evans.) “With a crash and a blinding stream of light, the rocket takes off. We cannot see it, as it is headed for the sun. If we have calculated rightly, it will land on the moon (quite mixed, but true) in FOUR days. Meanwhile, all we can do is wait.” Four days have passed. Then — at first faintly — then clearly — we hear the voice of the leader of the rocket expedition. “After circling the moon for four days, we have landed. This is a great planet for those who like the ‘solitude of the great open spaces’, but the earth surely looks good from here. We’ll be back in a week,” — and then an ac- count of the discoveries made were given. So ended our presentation of a broadcast, “A Trip to the Moon.” Dick Marvin and Charles Rice took their parts as announcers very well. We were very glad to have Mr. Plantinga and Mr. Obear with us to help us enjoy this inter- esting broadcast. 4- 4 EDITORIAL POINTS JUNIORS!

Hossman, ’34 DURING that cold, raw October day Wash- ington’s army had been retreating be- fore the stubborn and relentless ad- vance of General Howe’s superior forces until now, just at dusk, the lights of Germantown loomed through the gathering darkness and Washington’s tired and harassed army prepared to spend the night there. Marching in the ranks of the crack company of Concord Riflemen were two boys who could not have been more than seventeen years of age but who at the same time carried themselves with the air of seasoned campaigners. These two boys were Nathan- iel Walker, of Medford, and James Barry, of Concord, who had joined the Concord Rifle- men at Princeton. “Say, Nat, we can’t stay ahead of those Johnny Bulls much longer. We’ll have to stop and give them a scrap sooner or later, so why do you suppose the general keeps retreating?” asked James. “I’m sure I don’t know, Jim, but I’ve an idea that we’ll find out soon enough, for I heard Major Goodroe tell the captain that General Washington had an important job for the Con- cord Riflemen. So you see it looks as though there was something brewing after all.” “But what could that job be, Nat? Surely the general isn’t going to send the Concord Riflemen to try to hold up Howe’s advance?” “Don’t be foolish, Jim, but we’ll find out soon enough. Well, this looks like the place where we spend the night. Do you want a haystack with southern exposure, Jim?” “Nope, I don’t care about the exposure. I’ve been exposed so often it doesn’t bother me any more but I sure wish I had a piece of your mother’s mince pie, Nat.” “Another word about food and you won’t be in any condition to eat it if you had it and furthermore — ” “Hey, Nat, look! Here comes the captain and he surely is in a hurry. Something tells me we’re going somewhere and soon.” “Walker, get your squad together and report to me as soon as you have them ready. Bring your rifles but leave all other equipment be- ll i n d,” ordered Captain Peters. “Yes, sir.” “Well, Nat, it looks as if we are going some place. Ah me, there is no rest for the weary.” “No rest for the weary. Why, you lazy ox, resting is all you’ve been doing since you joined the army. Listen, Jim, get our equipment to- gether and hide it while I get the rest of the squad rounded up.” “All right, Nat, but I’ll bet we don’t find half of our stuff left when we get back.” Ten minutes later Nathaniel Walker’s squad of Concord Riflemen marched up to the quarters of Captain Peters where he was wait- ing for them. Standing beside him was a tall, middle-aged man of military bearing. This man was George Washington, Commander-in- Chief of the Continental Army. “Men, the general has asked me to tell you that because of the past record of the Concord Riflemen, you have been chosen to carry out a mission of the greatest importance not only to the army but to American independence. As you all know, the failure of the commissary department to keep up with the main army has placed us in a very serious position not only as to food but more important yet we are (Continued on Page 141) GW AN AWAY, YOU BLASTED BRITISHERS!” 136 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR DO YOU KNOW THAT? By Anna Mack, ’34 DO you know that George Washington learned to “read, write, and cipher” at a small schoolhouse kept by the sex- ton of the parish church? He got much of his training from Bishop Exeter’s sermons. Many of his copy books, with page after page of writing in a “round, bold hand”, still exist. One of his books contains a list of one hundred and ten “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation”. Some of these rules he made up, others he learned from his mother and teachers. A few are: “Think be- fore you speak; pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but orderly and distinctly”. “Speak not evil of the absent, for it is unjust”. “Let your recreation be man- ful, not sinful”. Thus, when a very young lad, Washington studied to improve his character and learned his lesson well. Although he never went to college, he was elected, in 1788, chan- cellor of William and Mary College, a distinc- tion which made him feel “honored and greatly affected”. STATUES OF WASHINGTON By Julia SaparofT. ’32 Only two statues of Washington have ever been modeled from life. One of these was a bust made by Giuseppe Ceracchi, an Italian sculptor of some note. Canova made a replica of this bust, and had it placed in the North Carolina capitol. But, with the burning of that building exactly a century ago, that treasure was destroyed. So the second of these two statues has as- sumed a tremendous value because it is now the only statue of the great Washington modeled from life. Reproductions of this mas- terpiece have been tried in vain. Hubard, an artist of Richmond, took a cast for a reproduc- tion in bronze. He oiled the marble, and be- came greatly distressed for fear of injuring the statue. Since that time, all casts of the original have been denied. This piece of statuary was done by the famous French Houdon. Jean Antoine Houdon came with Franklin to America in 1785. Spending two weeks at Mount Vernon, Houdon modeled the cast from life. He returned to Paris, and there com- pleted the work, which was purchased by Vir- ginia and erected in 1786 in the capitol at Richmond. Houdon’s statue represents Washington in uniform in a standing position. At its base appears the tribute, written by James Madi- son :— “The General Assembly of Virginia have caused this statue to be erected as a monument of affection and gratitude to George Washing- ton, who. uniting to the endowment of the hero the virtue of the patriot, and exciting both in establishing the liberties of his country, has rendered his name dear to his fellow citi- zens and given to the world an example of true glory. Done in the year of Christ, one thou- sand seven hundred and eighty-eight, and in the year of the commonwealth the twelfth.” And then the simple inscription:— “Fait par Houdon citoyen francais, 1788.” So this image of Virginia’s greatest soul has stood for over one hundred years in the rotunda of the Virginia capitol, witnessing the debates and speeches of such men as Madison and Mon- roe, Marshall, Randolph, and Tyler. .?• •% CAMP!

Sulgrave Manor Bv Arthur Martin, Jr.. 32 ONE of the quaintest and most delight- ful spots in old England is Sulgrave Manor. There, two and a half miles from Northampton, is one of the few places in England that an American flag is flying daily, for Sulgrave Manor is the ancestral Washington heme. American tourists moving off the main travel routes are visiting it more and more every year. This limestone manor has a history all its own. In 1539 King Henry the Eighth closed all the smaller monasteries, among them. Sul- grave. One Lawrence Washington bought it from the king, wishing a quiet retreat, having been twice mayor of Northampton. The Wash- ingtons lived here for seventy-one years, and then the house passed into other hands. In January, 1914, the manor was bought by the English government for £8,400 to celebrate a hundred years’ peace with the United States. The trustees were named as the British Am- bassador at Washington, the United States Ambassador at London, and the Regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. For over seven years furnishings were donated and bought, the lawn repaired, and the garden re- stored. On June 21, 1921, the manor was formally restored, but restoration wasn’t com- pleted until 1927. The manor is set in a large lawn, shaded by tall, stately trees, and surrounded by a low stone wall topped here and there by big balls. Before the central door are two birds cut from hedges, and in the gable above is the Tudor coat of arms. To the right of this gable is an old-fashioned flower garden, peeking over the stone wall and inviting us to stop awhile. Facing the garden is an ivy-covered wall with a bashful door and window hiding as best they can behind the leaves. Inside, the manor is a paradise for those in- terested in English architecture and furniture. It has strong beams along the ceilings and walls giving a feeling of strength and security. Here and there are treasures galore including an original Stuart Washington. There is a staircase no one could pass by. The railing is perfectly carved and fitted. As one looks up the stairs turning to the right, he will see beyond the landing. A few steps above is glimpsed a huge bed through a half- open door. It is in the great bedchamber, where an ordinary bed of today would seem a mere trifle beside it. Tall posts, exquisitely carved, and a wide back that must have been worked on for years hold one fascinated. In the room are two chests that are fit company for the massive bed. It is in this room that a copy of Wilson’s biography of Washington is kept. The only marring part of the manor is the (Continued on Page 112) 138 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR WINTER By Inger Pedersen, ’34 Jack Frost has come, and overnight Has painted our windows snowy white; He has dustc-J the pumpkins and touched the leaves Making ghostly sentinels of all the trees.

By Gordon Edward Chandler, ’33 On Friday night I am the king of all the world. And my subjects are my dog, and the peeping, shrill- ing frogs That break the stillness of the woods at night. As I stroll through my domain, A solitary, spying crow steals silently away On secret mission, at my approach, Black upon the grey. The tall, dark trees stoop and whisper to the wailing wind Secrets of my regime; And I hear murmured “Oh’s” and “Ah’s” As its hissing footsteps hasten away into the night. Trouble? Nonsense. I have the situation well in hand. I know those who conspire to usurp my throne. I know their plot. I do.------I do? “----Ah-h-oo-oo,” moans the mocking wind; And the eerie laughter of the crow Leaves me empty and trembling; Alone, in the woods, at night. 4 ❖ 4 MEDITATION By Gordon Y. Case, ’33 When night has fallen o’er the earth, And shadows hide the distant hill, My soul gives up its thoughts of mirth, And in its place my heart is filled With memories of the passing day. But one doubt seems to hold my mind, Have 1 been kind? But soon the sky is all aglow With the soft light of myriad stars, And from that light I learn to know That coming day will soon appear And mortals make the fragile bars —That build a wall about the mind. I’ll pull these down, I will be kind. + d -I- GIVE ME A FRIEND By Gordon Y. Case, ’33 Give me a friend to cheer me on the road, And I will smile and bravely bear my load.

I THE STATUE OF LINCOLN IN THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL, WASHINGTON, D. C. By Daniel Chester French President Lincoln's Address Dedicating the Battle- field at Gettysburg—November Nineteenth, Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-three Tr IOURSCOKE and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in lib- erty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate -- we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The World will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that gov- ernment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. 140 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Unknown By David O’Brien, ’32 THE fire crackled on the open hearth. Be- fore it sat a man of about thirty-five years calmly relaxing with his pipe, secure in the knowledge that he was safe from the February wind which howled without the house. On the floor stretched a young boy of ten, spread cut over the evening newspaper which rattled now and then; otherwise, all was still. “Well, son, what went on in school today?”, called the father cheerily. “Oh, today was Washington’s birthday cele- bration and we had a play and stories about Washington climbing the natural bridge and throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac and lots of stuff.” The boy was enthusiastic over these festivities which had broken the monotony of the small boy’s ordinary school day. “Well! I’d almost forgotten about that. Let’s see, George’s birthday is next Monday, isn’t it? Hmm.” The boy was again immersed in his paper. The father mused a while, blowing out great clouds of smoke, and then as though he had finally made a decision called: “Come over here a minute, son. I’ve a story to tell and I think you’re just about old enough to understand it now. ------ That’s it, come right up beside me. ------Let’s see, I was just about your age when my father told it to me, I think. “Do you know the story of Valley Forge? You do. Good. Listen then — “Valley Forge was no picnic, son. The poorly clad men were half starved; many of them were dying. The bitter cold cut through what clothing they had and warm, new ones were out of the question as they had received no pay for months. The snow and ice cut their bare feet and few there were who did not have frost-bitten toes. In spite of all this, most of them were determined to stick by their leader to the last, but there were some, there always seem to be, son, who were beginning to complain and find fault with their com- manding officers. “ ‘I tell you, Jonathan, I’m getting out of this mess just as soon as I can. Here I am freez- ing down here while back home my cattle are dying and my farm’s going to rack and ruin. I tell you I’m leaving.’ “ ‘Hush, man, why that’s desertion you’re talking. Suppose all were to take the same no- tion into their heads, where would our poor commander be then ? It would be a pretty ket- tle of fish, I tell you.’ “ ‘ ’Tis not desertion, Jonathan, and you know it. I signed on for six months and my time’s up in a fortnight and just you watch how fast I get out of here. My hands are cold.’ He blew on his numbed fingers and stamped his feet deeper in the snow in a vain effort to warm them. “ ‘Why, man, you’re crazy. There isn’t one of us whose time isn’t already served or is up in a few weeks. But we’re not deserting him up there in the cabin.’ “ ‘Up in the cabin is right. What does he care what becomes of us? He’s warm. His clothes aren’t torn and his feet aren’t bare to the cold.’ The man spoke bitterly. “Jonathan remained silent. He had no an- swer to this, for although he had quickly come to the defence of his officers, grave misgivings were beginning to torment his own soul. “Unnoticed by either, however, an unknown soldier in officer’s uniform had been stand- ing close by and heard their quarrel. He seemed to have an answer to this argument, for he now stepped quickly forward. “ ‘I wouldn't say that about the com- mander.’ Both men whirled around at the boom of the deep voice. They sprang to salute. “ ‘No, no, never mind that,’ he waved a de- preciating hand. “ ‘I’m on Commander Washington’s staff and have been with him all winter. I can tell you that he feels your plight. Every wound of yours is like a knife twisting in his side. When you are cold he chills to the bone at the thought of it. Who are you to complain? How would SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 141 you like to answer to Congress and admit the responsibility of putting you in this condi- tion V “The men stood abashed before this stinging attack. “ ‘Only today he got a letter from a friend saying that Congress wanted him arrested. Said that he didn’t know how to run an army and accused him of inaction, as if he could fight with an army in this state! He worries a great deal now and this inaction is just as hateful to him as it is to you.’ The officer’s last words died out and he seemed as though lost in his thoughts. “The stillness of the scene was unbroken by any sound other than the moaning wind. “Finally, Jonathan mustered the courage to speak: There, sir, please don’t be so harsh. Jamy don’t mean half he’s saying. He’s just cold.’ “The officer turned and gradually a look of compassion spread over his face until he seemed almost benevolent. “ ‘I’m sorry. I’m rather worried tonight. I guess. It’s that letter. Will you do something for me? Always remember that no matter how cold you are, no matter how numb your feet may be, and when everything seems black- est, George Washington is back of you pray- ing and hoping for a way to lead you to vic- tory. Will you do that? Thank you.’ The stranger’s tone was wistful. He stopped a minute and then turned and strode away.” The father was looking into the fire while the boy’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Gee, I’ll bet he was proud to know George Washington.” “Son, the man called Jonathan was one of your great-great-grandfathers and the strange officer was George Washington himself!” The embers died down in the fireplace and the February wind howled without. Yankee Foolhardiness (Continued from Page 135) short of powder and General Washington has been retreating in hopes that the belated am- munition supplies will arrive but we have just learned that the British have taken possession of the only road by which this supply could reach us. The mission which you are to per- form is this: You are to make contact with this ammunition supply train which unknown to the British is marooned behind their lines at Chadd’s Ford and to bring back as much powder and shot as possible. You have your orders and I expect them to be carried out to the letter and now the general would like to say a word to you.” “There is no need to impress you men with the importance of this mission and I only wish on behalf of your country to thank you for the service you are about to render it.” Nathaniel marched his squad out of German- town and once outside the settlement he held a council of war. “The best plan for getting through the Brit- ish outposts is to go through singly and meet at the crossing in an hour and we’ll see about getting the ammunition through then. Now scatter and we’ll meet in an hour,” ordered Nathaniel, “Jim, you come with me.” The other members of the squad left the road and started across the fields to reach the woods while Nathaniel and Jim kept to the road and turned into the yard of the first farm- house they came to. Going up to the door,, they knocked and waited for the door to be opened. Suddenly without a warning, a huge flower pot crashed at their feet and from an upper window came an irate voice: “G’wan away, you blasted Britishers. I wouldn’t help you if you were the last people on earth and if it wasn’t for this rheumatiz I’d be up there with the general aknockin’ the spots out of you, now g’wan away.” IN THE DAY OF WASHINGTON — Y will YOU BE GONE LONG GEORGlE? 142 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “But we’re not Britishers, sir, we’re Colon- ials,’’ shouted Jim, almost choking with laughter. “What’s that ye say, you’re not Britishers. Well bless my soul, wait a minute and I’ll be down and let you in.” “Well, Jim, your persuasive powers are still good,” chuckled Nat. A moment later a key turned in the lock and the door was opened by a little old man carrying a candle. “And now, gentlemen, what can I do for you ?” asked the old man. “We’d like to borrow some civilian clothes if possible. You see we’re on a secret mission and we have to pass through the British lines,” said Nat. “Wal, now, by gum, I think I have some that will just fit you. You see I have a son up there with Washington and he’s just about your size,” said the old man whose name was Hepzi- bah Greene. Jim and Nat tried on the clothes and they fitted fairly well and thanking Mr. Greene and promising to return the suits as soon as pos- sible they once again started on their way. After a walk of about a half an hour, they reached the British outposts and with very little trouble they were admitted within the lines. “Gosh, but that was easy. If the rest of the job is like that I’ll die of inaction,” said Jim. “That was so easy that it seemed suspicious. We’ll have to be on our guard from now on,” answered Nat. After an hour’s walk they reached Chadd’s Crossing and located the powder in a hay wagon in a large barn. “Gee, it seems awfully queer that the others haven’t arrived, Nat. You don’t suppose that they were captured, do you?” asked Jim. “They’ve got me worried. If they don’t show up in a few minutes we’ll have to leave without them.” “I tell you what we’ll do, Nat, you stay here and watch for the others and I’ll get the horses.” “All right, Jim, I’ll wait, but hurry back.” Jim was back in fifteen minutes with two horses, and as the others had not arrived, he and Nat hitched the horses to the team and started for Germantown. About a quarter of a mile from the British encampment they met one of the original squad who told them that all the others had been captured and that some- how the British had received word of the plan to get the munitions through to Germantown and were waiting for them. “Well, there’s only one thing to do and that’s to run through them. Are you two willing to try it?” asked Nat. “Absolutely,” chorused the other two. A few moments later they reached the Brit- ish lines and Nat urged the horses to a gallop, and with Jim and John Warwick using their muskets they took the British by surprise, pre- pared though they were, and had turned the bend on the Germantown road before the “Red Coats” could offer chase and so Washington’s men received their ammunition before the bat- tle of Germantown. Though the battle was unsuccessful, it was due to lack of manpower rather than lack of courage and ammunition. Sul grave Manor (Continued from Page 137) lower front room floor.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 143 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Washington — A Favorite With Biographers IOGRAPHY is brought into special prom- inence this month on account of the bicentennial celebration of George Washington’s birthday. The greatness of his character and the versatility of his achieve- ments are the subjects of numerous books. No collection of patriotic stories is complete with- out his being represented. Fictional biogra- phers have chosen Washington as one of their favorite subjects. “Great Valley”, by Mary Johnston; “Mr. Washington: A Soldier From Virginia”, by Marjorie Bowen; “Balisand”, by Joseph Hergesheimer, and “Richard Carvel”, by Winston Churchill, are but a few of the many novels in which Washington appears. In the “Book of Courage”, by Hermann Hagedorn, the sketch of Washington’s life is neither hero-worshiping nor idol-smashing. It simply puts the personality of the renowned man within the comprehension of a casual reader by means of anecdotes. Therefore this chapter in Hagedorn’s book is recommended as an approach to the vast subject of George Washington. The bicentennial celebration is a most appropriate time in which to become ac- quainted with the Greatest of Virginians. There are several months in which to do this since the period of observation of the bicen- tennial lasts from February 22 until Thanks- giving Day. Meanwhile ordinary reading must go on, so here are two suggestions:— “ALASKA, OUR NORTHERN WONDER- LAND” “Alaska”, written by Frank G. Carpenter, is the best, most interesting book on travel I have ever read. The author explodes the popu- lar idea that Alaska is a land of perpetual ice and snow. Instead it is a country where wild flowers bloom everywhere, delicious fruits and vegetables grow to great size and ripen quickly in the days of the long sun; its scenic beauties are unsurpassed, and its natural resources are unrivaled. In the southeastern part of Alaska there are great lakes studded with islands, all sorts of combinations of sea and sky, of evergreen slopes and snow-capped mountains, ever-shift- ing color effects and marvelously beautiful sunsets. Throughout the whole region are scattered small productive farms. Cabbages which weigh twenty-five to thirty pounds apiece are common, blueberries are the size of cherries, potatoes weigh two to three pounds apiece, strawberries are two to three inches in diame- ter — and so I could go on listing fruits and vegetables which grow to about twice the size usual in the States. A short theme cannot do justice to the sub- ject. It cannot tell all the out-of-way places 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Greetings, readers, here I am again with another bunch of criticisms, excerpts and comments on our own “Radiator”. Many new numbers came last month and they were all extremely interesting. Here’s the first to be inspected. The “Sea Chest” from the Nantucket High School is one of the most “original” magazines we’ve read for some time. Of course the other exchanges have their class notes writ- ten in different styles, but the “Sea Chest” has a “Log”. Quite “salty” you see. Their headings are very unique. The athletic columns are headed by a picture of “toes” pulling on ropes, and the exchanges are headed by a scene in a ship’s radio room. Through an open porthole may be seen a passing ship. One of our readers asked me to list a few of the foreign countries with which we exchange. Two copies of our December number went to colleges in Manila, Philippine Islands. A copy of an earlier issue went to a high school in Honolulu, Hawaii. We also exchange with a boys’ school in Liverpool, England, and the Cheltenham, England, Ladies’ College. Last month we sent a copy of the “Radiator” to the Forrest High School, Johannesburg, South Africa. If you know of any foreign schools which publish interesting maga- zines or papers please leave the names and addresses of these publications with the Radiator representative in Room 25. Our list also includes many of the states in the Eastern, Central and Western sections of the United States. where one may go hunting and fishing. But once you visit Alaska, Mr. Carpenter says: “Yoi will always go back”. A CHARACTER BUILDER By Howard P. Horsman, 32 One day quite recently I was scanning the slielves of the library at home wondering what book would be pleasant as well as enlightening for me to read. Biography is my favorite reading with books on travel and adventure a close second. I finally picked up a book, an exceedingly popular one, and began to read. It is the first book of its kind that I have ever read with whole-hearted delight. It made me turn my mind in another angle and see life at its best. The book was Lincoln’s favorite and guided him through all his tribulations. The volume is none other than Bunyan’s master- piece, “Pilgrim’s Progress.” The “Spectator” from the Browne and Nichols School in Cambridge, Mass., says of us: “Your articles remind us so much of English themes that we arc- chary with any high praise for them. You would do well to confine more of your humor to the joke page”. Thank you, Spectator. We appreciate such open- handed comment for it gives us an idea as to what we lack. Come on, you “Somer-villians”, get on your liter- ary smocks, put a tam-o-shanter on the side of your heads, nibble the end of your pens and give us some- thing worth printing! The Radiator from Somerville certainly provides interesting reading for everyone. Their alumni editor takes great interest in her work. Why, she even has notes about the Class of ’12! Their Hallowe’en cover was very unique.”—East Boston High School. “The advice of your associate editor, Julia Saparoff, in her article ‘An Appeal’, should be seriously heeded by the members of Somerville High. With the ex- ception of two or three the stories and articles are merely anecdotes.”—St. John’s Preparatory School. (Editor’s note — Miss Saparoff’s article appeared in the October issue.) The “Spotlight” from Cranford, New Jersey, had a most interesting feature. A whole page was devoted to the signatures of students! From the Newburyport High School comes the “Record”. This magazine is just packed with the ex- cellent literary and poetic efforts of the pupils. Although Lawrence High School’s “Bulletin” is not very large it contains some good material. Their gos- sip column is very humorous. The “Spur” from the Mission Church High School in Roxbury, had a number of good boners in its “Lotsa- Wind” column. Here are a few:— “General Braddock was killed in the Revolution. He had three horses shot from under him and a fourth went through his clothes.” “Nicotine is so deadly a poison that a drop on a dog’s tail will kill a man.” “Gender shows whether man is masculine, feminine, or neuter.” Whoever writes the “Phantom” for the “Spur” cer- tainly has a vivid imagination. Such horror! Such pictures! The “Red and Gray” from Fitchburg gives us this jolly jingle:— They’re pickin’ up the pieces With a dustpan and a rake, Because he used his horn When he oughta used his brakes! And so, readers, until next time, adios! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 145 “RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER” Given at Home for the Aged ON Tuesday, January 26th, Mrs. Math- ews and Miss Viola Jackson took a group of pupils to the Home for the Aged, where they put on a one-act play, “Right Around the Corner”, by Esther E. Olsen. The following took part: Dorothy Hallberg, Tillie Senopoulas, Eloise Seaman, William Reidy and Allan Callow. Dorothy Hallberg gave a special reading, “At the Soda Fountain”. The program was an- nounced by Ronald Brooks. T 1 1 PLAYERS CLUB By David O’Brien, ’32 A new milestone in our year! We’ve heard our first guest speaker. Friday afternoon, Jan- uary 29th, was the date, and promptly at 2.30 Mr. George Pearson, a member of the Lyceum, appeared to discuss some of his experiences and then give a few of his impersonations. The Lyceum, Mr. Pearson explained, is an organization founded by Mr. James Redpath, whose purpose is to bring the best speakers and entertainers to small towns. It was founded some years ago and had for two of its first speakers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Ward Beecher. However, it is now go- ing out of existence due to the moving pictures and the present-day facilities of transporta- tion. There are circuits of the Lyceum all over the United States and southern Canada. Mr. Pearson has traveled all these circuits and, through some of the funniest little poems I’ve ever heard, he recounted some of his amusing experiences while on these tours. Subse- quently, after retiring behind a mysterious looking curtain which he had erected, Mr. Pearson stepped forth in the person of his old schoolma’am, a spinster of uncertain age who spoke a very sad little poem about the time she had almost been kissed. The program-me, as she informed us, would follow immediately. (It was an old-time commencement day in a little red schoolhouse.) Members have tried out and been assigned parts in a one-act play to be given in connec- tion with the school’s celebration of the bicen- tennial anniversary of George Washington. THE EDMUND BURKE ORATORICAL SOCIETY Under the direction of Mr. Rooney, the mem- bers of the Edmund Burke Oratorical Society have held many interesting programs includ- ing inter-club debates. In January the try-outs for the girls’ de- bating team were held and the following team was chosen: Arline Peretsman, Margaret Rog- ers, Virginia McCarthy and Marjorie Smith, alternate. Since these capable representatives have been chosen, the club intends to broaden its activities. According to the annual custom. Girls’ Latin School debating team has been challenged. Also a challenge was sent to the boys’ debating club of our own school which has been accepted. This debate with the Web- ster Debating Society, which ought to prove unusually interesting, will be held some time in March. Yet club activities are not limited to debat- ing. Every day applications of poised, convinc- ing speaking have been the subject of practice and discussion during several meetings. Therefore not only the talented debaters but also girls with an intelligent interest in cur- rent affairs, or a desire to improve their own public-speaking, are welcome in Room 250 on Monday afternoons. 146 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1932 DEDICATED TO THE GENERAL COURSE By C. R. L. R.. Self-appointed Poet Laureate With our brains down in our feet, boys, We’re walking on our knowledge, Come on and let’s be dumb, boys, We’ll never get to college. Our noses to the grindstone We’ll surely never touch, By doing so we figure Twould wear away too much. Our modern politicians Have mostly gone to college, They should be called the schools of graft And not of higher knowledge. Don’t follow teacher’s punk advice And study night and day. Tomorrow never comes you see, And so today be gay. If you enjoy this little verse There must be something wrong, For at the time of writing My brain was none too strong. 4 1 Three Industrious Men The caption above will no doubt attract attention. In a period of depression you public-minded citizens are no doubt interested in your industrious fellows. Well, draw nigh (near. Is there any end to this man’s knowledge?) and lend me your ears. (Those two things which have a hard time not being drawn in by the vacuum between them.) The first two of these three industrious gentlemen are Lane and Levenson. Franklin Maine Lane, and Sherman Wakasugi Levenson. These gentlemen are currently employed in distracting peaceful Radiator representatives. And are they diligent! My, they’ve collected thirty cents in the last month! But really, they are working hard, and therefore deserve some reward. The lynching party will meet at “Morrison’s in the Square”. (’S’all right, Mr. Morrison, you’ll get the bill in the morning.) The other of these three roustabouts, or rather, in- dustrious gentlemen, is none other than Carroll An- drew Johnson, famous for his connections with a mini- ature airplane carrier. Mr. Johnson Throensen is a direct descendant of Tobias Ditto, from whom he no doubt acquired his great industry. At any rate, Mr. Throensen of late has been very busy avoiding the aforementioned Lane and Levenson. Samples of con- versation gleaned by eavesdropping: “But I’ll pay it, I tell you”! “Yes, but do you realize that Frankie and I have to go to a dance tonight?” Suggestions for novel enjoyments for your party guests:— Writing class notes; writing class notes; — continued next year. 4 -I- 4 Too late for valentines? Here are a few, at any rate:— Valentine’s greetings to Robert Cammon, Best wishes for a pleasant can of salmon. Maybe I’m wrong, but you rhyme Cammon yourself, if you don’t like that! A Valentine’s gift, this sermon, Just for you, Frances Sherman. But don’t let this keep you from the Poetry Club! Tired? Hard day at the office? No rest all night? Why not try writing CLASS NOTES, and watch the immediate results. Even your friends won’t tell you, but you’ll know for sure, then, that you’re crazy. That Student Council Dance, by the way, was a great success. Congrats to the council. Third quarter, eh? Suppose most of us are suffer- ing from the second quarter’s slip-ups. But Julia SaparofT isn’t. Julia, you know, is the girl who can’t recite the alphabet, ’cause all she knows is A! Fast magazine, this Radiator. So fast that it got a month ahead of itself in our last! Oh, well, printers will be printers, but why don’t they? That veceshun looks good! But don’t forget to remember that on Monday, the 29th, the old red build- ing will again open its doors to the public. George Washington! That name certainly conjures vivid pictures! Pictures of daring, pictures of cour- age, pictures of character. But one it will always bring to my mind, a portrait of that great man with his adopted children. Get it, if you can, and you will see why Washington was a great man, why he lives today, two hundred years old! The clock is ticking — sleep seems inviting. So if you’ll pardon me, I’ll just gently slip out now and give the Junior Class editor her minutes on the stage. Until our next — apologies. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 147 1933 Those who know me, those who are in my classes, know the following gesture well! Laughter ripples o’er the group. Everyone turns and watches R. A. C. reach for a certain little black note-book, turn to a certain page, and write. What does she write? If they could see the conglomerate mass of jotted-down notes that I’m trying to untangle and arrange now, they’d be astounded, really. This is by way of apology if this month’s notes are rather disconnected. I’ll start with the Players’ Club, quite a thriving organization. Anyone who hasn’t seen a “reading- walking” yet, should get on the good side of a P. C. member and persuade him or her to take him or her to one. I hope you comprehend. Anyone who missed seeing David O’Brien, that well-known and illustrious member of the Senior Class, go into a trance, missed something! I see before me vast multitudes of lotus flowers — At a rehearsal for that play, Dorothy Halberg, an- other Senior, was hurrying off the stage (such as it was) and collided with a blackboard. In her absent- mindedness she said: “Oh, I beg your pardon!” We’ve been expecting some one to mispronounce prescriptions for a long time and it came the other day. Audrey Moran said: “They were afraid he would order too many prescriptions.” Speaking of pronunciation we’ve found a way to end the old controversy about how to pronounce allies or rather, ally. A teacher (I’d tell you his name only he wouldn’t like it), said: “If you hear someone say: ‘It’s ally’ (accent on first syllable), you should say: ‘It’s a lie!’ ” In a recent English test some one wrote “Scott visited Westminster Castle because he once lived there.” The funny part is, the teacher finally figured out what it was intended to mean. In French, recently, we learned (or were supposed to) that the ankle was the “neck of the foot” — cou de pied. A queer incident occurred when the teacher said: “Pronounce ‘nothing’!” She was met with silence and when she asked why, we said: “You said to pro- nounce nothing.” Oh, well — in that case —. The boy with the bulletin has a perfect mania for entering our room at the opportune moment. Miss B. said: “Then Perrichon enters out of breath—That was all right, only just as she waved toward the rear door, the young man entered, and did he blush at our sudden burst of laughter? I wonder. The meetings are most interesting. But there was one thing at the first meeting that I couldn’t quite get over. When Miss L. spoke of a carving on a Scotch cathedral portraying an angel playing bag- pipes, the picture was too much for me. Speaking of clubs, the Prose Club must not be left unmentioned although nothing I could say would add to its praise. The most I can do is attend the meet- ings and listen open-mouthed! You would, too! The American office boy’s grandmother dies on the day of the big baseball game. The French office boy has to go on guard duty. But there’s little difference! Money making is a talent, just as piano playing and er — crooning. They laughed when I approached the piano but they were astonished when I picked it up and carried it out! Did you know that the Romans used to postpone war from Friday night until Monday morning? Now let's persuade the Chinese and Japanese that every day is Saturday — or Sunday. I guess we look forward to Monday morning with just about the same amount of eager anticipation that the Roman soldiers did. AND RE NEVER TOLD A LIE OH BOY? i wish z Coulo DO THINGS UKE THAT ? AW, THAT'S NOTHING? 1 HE CAN ONLY TEAR Chairs APART - DID YOO COER. A TABLE The Poetry Club certainly is a fine organization! 148 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A proud Bostonian was showing a visitor Bunker Hill monument. “This,” he said, “is the spot where Warren fell.” “Gracious,” said the visitor in an awed tone as he gazed upward, “no wonder that it killed him!” Boy (in chemistry test): “Is hydrogen plus or minus?” Teacher: “What do you want me to say? I’ll be answering too much!” Boy: “Say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.” Teacher: “Yes or no.” Speaking of chemistry, ask Lucy Bruneau how she likes equations! And since this is February — (the last issue, don’t forget, was supposed to be January) something must be said about Washington. The Players’ Club says all that’s needed about Washington in a play “Crinoline and Candlelight.” In case it has not been presented by the time you read this I’ll say nothing. In case it HAS been, well, I’ll still say nothing. But how did you like Washington? Do you know how they cleaned the gym floor after the Student Council dance? Miss Snell got our gym class all lined up and then said: “Sit down!” We did, and carried oft all the dirt on our gym suits. You should have seen the stunts. Or perhaps you have. 1 never had any real feeling against Russia until I tried that Russian step. And I never thought of Turkey until I had to cross my le s like a Turk and — and-------GET UP!! I really believe I shall be an expert diver this summer judging from my experi- ences in the middle of the beam. Can’t you picture a graceful figure raised on one foot on that narrow beam while the other leg swings gaily around some- where in that vicinity and arms imitate a windmill and very swiftly the graceful figure loses its grace and lands on the floor with the legs around the neck. But it’s excellent training for “walking the plank” I assure you! Since my health is rather bad after the aforesaid experiences, I’d better stop before I say anything that will further impair my delicate organs. Ketch in ? •I -I- I 1934 “The old order changeth, yielding place to new.” Thus has the old year of 1931 forever passed from our grasp and the new 1932 abounding with opportunities become firmly established with us. May we all make the best of these opportunities!! Speaking of taking advantage of our opportunities brings us to my first item: When the Sophomores took full advantage of their opportunity and unanimously won the decision from the judges in their recent de- bate with the Juniors. In their splendid argument up- held by Messrs. Nissenbawn, Kennedy, and Ahern� , the Sophomores drove from the minds of the audience all thoughts of modern advertising being anything but beneficial to the public. Thus have the MIGHTY Juniors been brought into submission and we are joy- fully looking forward to the opportunity of reducing those MIGHTIER Seniors to a similar state of sub- mission. Probably we all have learned that the two types of novels are novels of plot and novels of characters, but the other day one of our super-minded Sophomores brought still another type to light known as a novel of friction. These new novels certainly must have plenty of fast-moving action in them to deserve such a red hot name. While reading a story in an English class a mem- ber of our class was questioned as to how old he thought the old woman in the story was and this studious fellow’s reply was fifty years old THEN. The question was then put to him as to how old an old woman was today, the prompt reply was: “Seventy- five years old”. What an advancement science has made in helping us keep young! Just think, my friends, when you get to be old you will be twenty- five years younger than you would have been one hundred years ago! Figure that out!! (If you can.) During the extreme quiet (?) (?) which reigned during the Webster Debating Society’s recent election, it was announced to the members that the girls of the Edmund Burke Oratorical Society had extended a challenge to us for a debate in the near future. Thanks, girls! We’ll do our best to talk your argu- ments down but even then you probably will manage to get in the last word as usual! I believe I can go my friend, the Junior editor, one better about “taking folks for a ride”. The other day I was informed much to my amazement, that Dunston, one of the characters in “Silas Marner”, even “took his horse for a ride”. In one of our frequent French tests a Sophomore made the following amazing declaration (and it was a boy): “Je suis belle!!” One of our dear teachers the other day remarked: “Now S------ I simply have to put down a zero for- the recitation. Is that any way to begin the new quarter?” S----: “You might mark me absent.” Teacher: “Yes, very absent-minded!” Speaking of the new quarter, how did you come out on your report card? We hope for the best! Any- way you still have two more quarters ahead of you to make good in. That’s one consolation. “I cannot tell a lie!” my supply is exhausted. Quite a second Washington, eh? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 140 BASKETBALL LYNN ENGLISH AND REVERE NEITHER of our foreign games with Lynn English and Revere High were anything to write home about, for our royal Red and Blue was smirched to a humbler black and blue. However, Team B somewhat avenged our varsity’s defeats by a brace of wins. The team of Lynn English (which is, inci- dentally, a marvelous modern institution), outclassed Somerville mainly through the ef- forts of a pair of eagle-eyed players: One. Pinch by name, really “pinched” out our hopes of victory. And, although in the third stanza a desperate spurt was staged by this city’s quintet, the contest ended with S. H. S. ten markers behind their opponent’s 26 points. H. McLeod, the galloping ghost of the Seconds, accounted for 14, or half of his band’s digits. At Revere our high hopes of gaining a vic- tory whistled down to earth like zooming roller coasters for which this beach city is famous. Somerville’s grave mistake here was the fail- ure of its defence men to closely adhere to Revere’s speedy forwards and check their ac- curate shots. Bud Buckley starred for our contingent, flashing up and down the court and zipping in many goals. And here let me praise the superb perform- ances of Billy Bolster, varsity guard. Billy’s stamina, team work, and passing ability are all of the highest standard possible. Now, in case you’re interested (which is doubtful), the losing score was 29 to our rival’s 39. In the buses, however, everyone was cheer- ful and practical jokes livened the journey. Joe Davis, the spark plug of the outfit, has a line of chatter that would humor anyone, even the coaches (which is an achievement). NEWTON SUBMERGED After these twin setbacks, the Red and Blue, always ambitious of being crowned Suburban Champs, pulled themselves together for the Newton High tilt, and not only did the boys collect themselves but also they collected a quarter of a hundred counters to win 25 to 6. On the initial tip-off S. H. S. scored on a sizzling pass and a flipping shot. Upon wit- nessing this bit of team work the observer could almost read the fate of our opponents, and true enough, many times did our basket- ball penetrate the Newton hoops. The outstanding trio in the first team con- sisted of Buckley, Fitzpatrick and Duggan, while “Younger” MacDonald performed credit- ably for the seconds. After the final whistle was shrilled, the air was filled with dance melodies from “Ye Vic- trola” and couples glided on the floor. Two of our graceful “gigoloes” are “Wig” Wiggins and Harold Michelson. MALDEN ALSO SUCCUMBS On January 26, our band of hoopsters were transported to the Malden Armory where we clashed with that high school team. Outside this military building a machine gun rested and when our ramblers saw it they resolved that their own speedy shots would be as deadly as that weapon. And so it happened, for S. H. S. won. In the opposing line-up was a lad with a “Whiffle” hair cut, who was called “Franken- stein”, and he was quite a wit. The reason our Team B lost was because they were weak from laughing at his capers. 150 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR But concerning the actual playing of the con- test — for two periods the teams battled al- most evenly, the Somerville horde surged ahead and maintained its lead throughout the remaining chapters. Hamilton of the sleek hair had a fine day here, sinking many fine shots. Freddy Noonan was so affected by just talk- ing with two pretty girls before the game that his first shot was so weak it resembled a pop fly. 4. 4. REVERE GAME Revenge is sweet. And if that is so, all Somerville rooters had a sweet evening Janu- ary 29, for we certainly avenged, with inter- est, our previous defeat at the hands of Re- vere’s basket-bailers. The performances of both our teams were rewarded by victories. Trailing in the opening “chukkers” the con- querors led by Buckley and Hamilton spurted into the front. And even then their terrific pace was not for a moment abated, our boys pepping the sphere through the ring with un- erring accuracy. Everybody was hysterically happy, and indeed the zip of our plays was enough to thrill anyone. The terminating tally of the contest was 28 to 16. As a team we exhibited perfect unity, but naturally some of the athletes were outstand- ing. Bud and Pete (see above) along with MacDonald and Joe Davis were the high scorers, while Billy Bolster played his usual sterling defensive game. When the hoopsters had retired from action the terpsichorean artists moved over the floor to the strains of some musical discs. NET NOTES Gene Falco, of pigskin fame, has attended all games (home and foreign) as a non-paying spectator. How ironical therefore that here, in his home gym, he had to become a cash cus- tomer for once. Paul Kelley and “Fitzie” are great box of- fice attractions, especially with the maidens. TRACK The supremacy of the three rival classes of S. H. S. in track was decided in a meet Janu- ary 20. As the graduating class it was only fitting that the Seniors should capture the- honor of winning with 32V points. The fleet third-year veterans monopolized the dash places with Hayes, Dellacolli and Gau- det finishing in that order. In the “600” that sterling runner, Senior, galloped into an unchallenged lead and won handily. Ralph Smith was next in crossing- the tape. Patterson won the “1,000” in fine style, but the spectators were deprived of a thrill when the speedy Baird was blocked by a “lapped” runner, thus preventing a battling finish. Di Nappoli, a Soph, was clocked with the fastest performance in the 300-yard run, while his teammate, Baskauiez (I may be wrong), sailed over the highest notch to win the high jump. The Juniors got their only “kick” when George Arbeene heaved the shot 38 feet to beat the other strong men’s attempts. Tranello, the versatile, won the broad jump by hurling himself 9 feet, 4 inches. The last event was the relay which the lightning first-year band took. + + GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Editor’s note: I was assigned a girls’ basket- ball article and as I am not very adept in de- scribing graceful feminine actions, I searched for a substitute and found a very charming one in Miss Louise Riccio who graciously consented to write the following:— Much curiosity has been aroused by the flashes of color seen in the gym on Mondays and Fridays. No, it’s not flag day but just the Girls’ Athletic Association out for basketball practice. A large number of girls turn up for these practices and thus our varsity squad is a strong one. Later on in the season we ex- pect to play some of the outside schools. Schedule: Swampscott at Somerville (pending), Febru- ary 5. Somerville at Medford, February 24. Medford at Somerville, March 7.

Interviewing the Teachers By Evelyn Raton. ’32 and Virginia Savage. ’32 We’ll let Miss Campbell’s story appear just as she gave it to us, for we are sure that we could never improve on it:— “I was born with a propensity for music and had a precocity for it which has not been justified in later years; was born so left-handed that no power could correct it and learned to use my right hand in writing only after grad- uating from high school.” Congratulations, Miss Campbell! “Music is my hobby, and I have studied voice, organ, piano and violin. “The next interest in my life is the study of health. I am a firm believer in the doc- trine that one can live a satisfactory life only by means of a sound body, and I have devoted the past few years to the study of health and strength. We are endowed with the most won- derful machine ever created, for the highest type of work ever known, and I firmly believe that one of our greatest sins against the Crea- tor is its misuse. We were meant to be effec- tive physically and it is our own fault if we are not. “My favorite quotation is:— “ T expect to pass this way but once — Therefore, if there is any good thing that I can do, let me do it now; Let me not delay it nor neglect it — For I may not pass this way again.’ ” Authors’ Note: We have discovered, during these interviews, that the greatest desire of our teachers is to serve us. Cannot we repay this service in some way — however small? 1927 Dorothy Cheney is employed as stenographer in the office of Lawyer Robert Bushnell. 1923 John Wells, who graduated from Somerville High with the Class of 1923, is a doctor at the Naval Hospital, Chelsea, Mass. 152 SOMERVII.I.E HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Lumor-ettes Dentist: “Which tooth do you want pulled?’’ Pullman Porter: “Lower seven.” Oh, yes, we presume that even Dr. Einstein quite often discusses with others, how many miles his car gets on a gallon of gas. There was a young American lady, so the story goes, who went to Greece. Standing with the ruins of the ancient civilization about her, she remained immobile for a time, with a puzzled look upon her face. “This,” said the official guide in a loud voice, “is the Acropolis.” “But,” replied the young lady with undimin- ished astonishment, “Where are the four horse- men?” There Ought To Be a Law— A lady called up a well-known theatre and inquired after the program for the evening. The clerk there gave a long list of attractions, and at the end, heard the startling cry of “What! No Mickey Mouse?” Britisher (to Northwest Indian): “White man heap glad to see red man. White man hopes big chief is feeling much top-hole this morning.” Indian (calling): “Hey, Jake, come here and listen to this guy. He’s good.” Mr.: “Aren’t you nearly ready, dear?” Mrs.: “I wish you wouldn’t keep asking that question. I’ve been telling you for the last half hour that I’d be ready in a minute.” An oculist was examining the eyes of a patient, and had requested him to read the top line of a test card, the letters of which ran HUPRTUZBFKH. When some moments had elapsed, the ocu- list said: “Do you mean to say you cannot read letters of that size?” Patient: “Oh. I can see the letters all right, but I can’t pronounce the blooming word.” History Teacher: “What do you consider the greatest achievement of the Romans?” Latin Student: “Speaking Latin.” Overheard in an English class which is studying “Hugh Wynn”:— Miss S—: “What is a pillion?” George A—: “A pillion is the rumble seat on a horse.” Efficiency Expert: “The first man to fire is that good-for-nothing loafer over there.” Owner: “I’ll see what I can do about it. You see, he’s my son.” Sandy: “Porter, how much to carry bag- gage ?” Porter: “Ten cents the first parcel, then five cents each further parcel.” Sandy: “I will carry the first parcel, and you take the other.” Dentist (as he started to drill): “Think of something nice; you won’t notice the pain.” The boy didn’t move. Dentist: “Splendid! What did you think about?” Boy: “Well, I thought my teacher was here in my place.” Useful Gifts ....

As we look back over the scenes of his lifetime, brilliant with great names at the Bar, on the Bench, in the Cabinet and the Forum, and as we gaze on those struggles and often battles of the giants, there stands out on that arena no orator more eloquent, no statesman more gifted, and no patriot more self-sacrificing than Daniel Webster. He needs no monument of bronze, he needs no monument of marble; he will live in the service which he has rendered to his country and to our common humanity so long as the Republic lives. The Webster Debating Society of the Somer- ville High School, recognized the sesquicentennial of Webster’s birth by sponsoring a debate in the Assembly Hall on January nineteenth. This was a fitting celebration inasmuch as this society which strives for fluency in speech and logical thinking in debate, is dedicated to his memory. —Leo C. Donahue. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 101 Here and There RESOLUTIONS THE NEW YEAR has always been the time for making resolutions and, all joking aside, when another year rolls around more resolutions will be made and broken. The well-meaning person sees his faults and wants to correct them and so re- solves to take daily exercise, do a day’s work well, get to bed earlier, or keep smiling, etc. Yet should he happen to mention his resolu- tions, laughter and “kidding” result and it is implied that he won’t keep his “new rules” for long. It seems to me that this year one big reso- lution is going to be made and kept by every- one. That is “to plan a little better for the future and try to get along with the bare necessities”. In most cases this resolution will have to be kept since few, with conditions as they are, can be extremely extravagant but just the opposite, “watching the nickels and dimes”. Where a larger sum was formerly used, we are going to “stretch” the two nickels and if it is impossible to make them meet, then another will have to be added. However, let’s not deprive ourselves of the joy of living by practicing economy in the wrong places or let greed keep the following idea paramount: “I’ll never get caught again in a position where I shan’t be able to beat any depression”. It’s not necessary to go to this extreme in order to keep a tight harness on our affairs and plan better for the future. REPORT CARDS Those Quarterly Reports, welcome to some and loathed by others, are on their way again. They’re like taxes and death — no matter what happens they come out in spite of it. Do you go to school to get or not to get “All A’s”? If you do get them, the Report Card is a recognition of your accomplishment; while if you don’t have soaring marks, why not take the ones you receive as a hint or sug- gestion that you can do better so that you will not look upon your report card as a “Quarterly Curse”. After all, the schools need some uniform way of reporting on your progress but this doesn’t mean that you have to stop living be- cause yours isn’t of the very best. “An’ I reckon,” as the hayseed says, “many of us dun’t miss the sleep for it, nuther!” How- ever there is one point to keep in mind about these reports and that is — if in the end, you inwardly feel that you’re getting all anyone can get out of school, then you don’t have to worry about quarterly reports at all. “You don’t have to worry, do you?” + + + WE NEED YOU! I often hear pupils say, “Gosh, they have one of her stories in every issue. Why don’t they give her a rest? You’d think others never con- tribute!” That’s just our difficulty, they don’t. Almost every month I get something from the same few who are interested and not too timid to pass in the “fruits of their labor”. That’s why you see these articles by the same authors from time to time and frequently say, “Why this paper seems to cater to a few!” That is anything but true, but I can’t say as I blame you for looking at it that way. Why don’t you settle our question by writing us a short story, an article, or discussion of seme hobby. If you can’t do this then the least you can do is to send in a class note or two to your editor. We’re here striving to please everyone and if you don’t want authori- ties to say that the youth of today is not in- 102 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR terested in the school paper, then “Let us hear from you frequently”. These discussions may be a little strongly put in places but they are meant to be thought- provoking and therefore require this occa- sional over-emphasis so that they will pene- trate the depths of our brain cells. “May yours be a most prosperous New Year!” W. C. R. STREET CORNERS By William Maney, 32 What is there so fascinating about a street corner? This question has puzzled me for some time. Why do people never “loaf” in the middle of a block instead of on some cor- ner? Perhaps it is merely following the urge that their ancestors felt which prompted them to tip back their chairs and smoke together at the village store and gossip. Men have to get to- gether somewhere, and so when it isn’t the club, it’s sure to be the street corner. Still remembering the subconscious urge, we may say that the present-day street corners take the place of the old crossroads where men gazed in wonder at new vehicles which sped by at an unbelievable pace. It is still the feel- ing of wanting to see everything, that goes by -on more than one street at a time, that prompts the street corner dingers to choose the spot in question. If they are going to loaf, why not enjoy it? Their way of enjoying it is to :see everything, which, of course, is most easily done at the corner of a street rather than at some point in the middle of a block. Yet all this explanation does not satisfy me. I still wonder what enjoyment there is in “street corner clinging”. Surely the loafers look far from interested as they lean heavily against the nearest stable object or else up against a pal. I really believe that if I should .ask one of these street corner patronizers to explain the mystery, he would look at me in blank amazement and wonder what is wrong with me, while really he is the one who lacks reason. BRACE UP! By Marguerite Herman. 32 “Brace Up!” We like that slang phrase. We like it because there is lots of soul in it. You never knew a mean, stingy, snivel-souled man to walk up to an afflicted neighbor, slap him on the shoulder and tell him to “brace up”. It is a big-hearted, open-handed, whole-souled fellow that comes along when you are downcast and squares ofT in front of you and tells you: “That won’t do, old fellow, brace up!” It is he that tells you a good story and makes you laugh in spite of yourself. He lifts the curtain that darkens your soul and lets in the cheering sun- light. It is he that reminds you there never was a brilliant sunset without clouds. He may not tell you so in just such words, but he will make you “brace up” and see the silver lining for yourself. Have you been engaged in risky speculation, and just when you expected to gather in your golden gains, stocks fell, and you found your- self a bankrupt? Don’t get discouraged, and commit any rash acts prompted by force of ad- verse circumstances; brace up! You have gained wisdom from experience and strength from the struggle, brace up and go ahead! There is no tonic like this to restore the dor- mant energies, no course of gymnastics equal to it for strengthening nerve and muscle; don’t drug the system with patent nostrums, don’t fool away time with physical education equip- ment, brace up! and health, strength and en- thusiasm will urge you on to still greater achievements and to ultimate success. Don’t look down — look up! The strength that saves you doesn’t come from the ground but from the mountain tops. Look forward to the future, for it has greater things in store for you than the past could ever have had. Find your ideal and move steadfastly toward it and you will find that it will stoop to meet you. Brace up! v v The Student Council is doing its best to make the school better and more interesting for the pupils. Help us by bringing your problems before council meetings on Mondays. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 103 Dead By Norman A SAILING VESSEL! The name itself arouses curiosity. It appeals to folks in general and stirs up many ideas as to its design, home-port and its des- tiny. Even an old, dirty lumber schooner, being towed into the harbor, calls for attention be- cause the days of rope and canvas are over as far as commerce is concerned and the rarity of a sailing ves- sel makes it appreci- ated. Strange as it may seem, I find them much more interest- ing as decayed and rotted wrecks over which one m a y wander and gaze at the sea from decks that once saw action. The whole atmosphere of a ship changes as a wreck. There is a sombre and grave look about it, the silence broken only by a swaying, creaking rope or remaining spar. Our east coast has a fair lot of wrecked ships, some interesting, some having no lure and some too perfect to touch my fancy which moves me to write about the wrecks I have chanced upon in my travels along the New England coast. On the sands of Nantasket is beached a ves- sel which is not a wreck according to my ideas. In the first place it is what I call too perfect a wreck — or a mere Run-a-ground — with all masts standing perfectly in place, and an ad- mission price is charged. The Nancy’s long hull and five tapering masts make a pretty pic- ture at sundown for the beach-goers who just dote on strolling (that is if they have the ad- mission fee) through the ship and peeking in on the captain’s quarters and mess hall as ■well as poking in other dingy corners of the Ships Miller, ’32 “high and dry” hulk. Chairs and tables ar- ranged about the deck of course, are quite con- venient for the ordinary guests but for land- lubbers like me they are anything but in league with what “Davy Jones” would expect should one of his foaming waves sweep them over the rail. At Salisbury we find the other extreme — a few timbers sticking up through the sand all that is left of the “Venny M. Cartes”. The story- connected with it is only ordinary; that is, it had been thrown up in a storm about the year 1890. This type holds no charm for the wreck fiend. There is nothing to lure you to its deck, nothing to explore, so I leave it as I found it — buried in sand. About 1925 or ’26, a small three-masted schooner was grounded on York Beach. It was an interesting specimen even if it was small. Ropes dangled from the sides and tall masts, still towering, caught my eye, and before I knew it I was on board. I reached the deck through a gaping hole in the port bow. Be- low deck, as I remember, was a mess of sand and sea weed. There were no crew’s quarters below and none on deck, evidently the little ship had been used only for short trips. From the deck we had a good view of the beach and climbing the shrouds on the bowsprit was good tun. This little three-master is one of my fondest memories of “Dead Ships”, for it was after my visit to it that I realized that they are quite “alive”. Last summer while motoring by York Beach I stopped to see what had happened to the little (Please turn to Page 116) 104 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR PERSONALITIES By Irving Murray. ’32 OCCASIONALLY one feels the desire to dabble in something quite removed from one's own line of work. This is especially true of class editors. Although our range of occupations is limited by obvious men- tal lassitudes, we class editors, too, are sub- ject to the fundamental urge of human nature to try something new. Then, again, only too often do we feel the need of some relief from class notes. All of which is in explanation of why you are to be deprived of that peace which the next fifteen minutes might have afforded you. There are a few people in the Senior Class, who are its real leaders. I should like to give you here my impressions of them. So, hang on tight, here we go! I believe I have known Bill Tesson for six years, two at a distance, and four at a proxim- ity sufficient to know that his chief weak- ness is his overwhelmingly good-natured self. No need to state that his greatest prowess is his musical ability. However, as one who has played with Bill, I can state that he is the finest musician in Somerville High today. Good luck, Bill! And may you “trombone” and laugh your way to success, just as you have, into our hearts. Here's another fellow, left unsung by me for two years, because I did not know him. But his seriousness of purpose plus the fact that ■“he’s a jolly good fellow”, have combined to give me a sense of pride in this newly-found acquaintance. And, incidentally, the Webster Debating Society should realize how great a debt it owes Rae Anderson. Carroll Throensen is a little difficult to de- scribe, for nobody really knows him. There’s no doubt that he’s making the grade in the Harvard division. But this is certain, that, al- though on the surface there are flaws, just as in all of us, the texture within is fine. That is all that can be desired in man. Life would lose some of its pleasure, were we to be deprived of Joe Gormley. His humor strikes a note which usually harmonizes with popular sentiment. A man who can thus in- fluence his associates is one to be reckoned with. In every group there is one person whose very name suggests thought, reasoning, and an entirely capable mind. However, to find the person possessing such a reputation also possessing the esteem and true comradeship of his fellows, is a rare circumstance. Never- theless, within the confines of the Senior Class is to be found one who is more than all this. That person is James Smith, maximum credit man, but still ready to come down to earth for a good laugh, even at his own expense. With no sarcasm intended, I really believe that Harvard will be privileged next year, privi- leged, I repeat, to have James enrolled as one of its Fresh. But, tempus fugit, and since I, too, hope that Harvard’s gates shall be open to me, I must put away this idle reflection. But even with that resolution hardly off my pen, I can- not help but think again that this year’s Senior Class is offering the world some excellent ma- terial for potential leaders. May the world grant them its full measure of happiness, and of success! MODEL-MAKING AS A HOBBY Bv Vincent Campelia, 32 Model-Making is far from a senseless hobby — in fact I find it is just the opposite. It is practical and educational, carrying with it the reputation and rank of a specialized science. Its scope is unlimited, and its divisions of use are innumerable. Boats are modeled and provided with work- able steam engines. Speed boats three feet long are coaxed into speeding at a rate of thirty or even forty miles per hour and the engines used are like those by Westinghouse, reproduced on a miniature scale. This cannot exactly be called model-making, because it is really model engineering, or engineering in miniature. The construction of a model in- volves no small amount of energy, time, and brain work. Its constructor must know some- thing about engineering, he must be able to read the most complicated blueprints and he must build his project to scale. Aside from this, it is necessary for him to be patient and face all errors. After the model is completed, you might ask, “What has been accomplished?” (Please turn to Page 118) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 105 k ‘Photography Bug By Audrey Moran, ’33 AVE you ever been attacked by the “photographer’s bug”? If you have, you will appreciate the sensations of which I write; if you have not, — you may still become a victim. It is a parasite which develops a fever just as deadly and all-absorb- ing as the better known “golf bug”, “bridge bug”, or even “backgammon bug”. True, my experience with it is limited to the printing of pictures but even this slight touch fills me with a great desire to seize a camera, rush out, “shoot” some scenes or some friends, and rush back to the dark-room. It all came about this way. My brother was attacked by this fever. (You can see from this that it is contagious.) He has spent the last few nights locked up in the bathroom with chemicals and red lights and trays and all sorts of paraphernalia. He has become wild-eyed, secretive, and paradoxi- cally expansive. Occasionally, members of the family hear muffled shouts of “Eureka”, “Splendid”, and “A la bonne heure” emanating from his improvised work room and in due time he emerges with some exceptionally clear print. Such strange behavior made me wish to learn its cause, to see what could change an apparently normal human being into such a preoccupied idiot. For this reason I sought admittance to the sanctum sanctorum in which he secluded himself. After many objections, he yielded and let me in. I stepped into the room, pitch dark save for the dim light of a small red bulb which he had screened so that it shone for the most part on the ceiling. He had moved a little table into the room and had placed on this most of his materials. As my eyes became accustomed to the dimness, I could make out a student’s desk lamp of the goose neck type with the re- flector removed, so that the bulb was un- shaded, what looked like a picture frame with a back that locked in (this was the frame to hold the negative and paper while exposed to the printing light), several black envelopes which contained, he told me, sensitive paper, a pair of scissors, a ruler, a pencil, and a watch. Beyond him was the wash stand, on which were two black trays. I was fortunate for he was just mixing his solutions — the “devel- oper” and the “fixer”. Like a medieval experi- menter in black magic he bent over a grad- uate which he filled to a certain mark with water which he in turn poured into the trays. Into the tray on the left — the developer — he emptied slowly the contents of a little glass tube, stirring constantly to dissolve the chemi- cals. Next, he attacked the tray on the right, measuring out four tablespoonsful of fixing powder and a small amount of acidifier, stir- ring as before. When he thought all the in- gredients were dissolved, he filled the wash- bowl to overflowing, and left the water run- ning (the pictures must be rinsed in running water, he explained). Then he turned to the work table and began the actual work of devel- oping. Opening the frame, he placed a nega-- tive shiny side down against the glass. On this he placed a piece of paper, sensitive side down. (He explained that you can tell this side by its smoothness. If in doubt, he ad- vised biting a corner because the sensitive side sticks to the teeth!) Next, he put on the back of the frame and clamped it in place. We were now ready to expose the print. He turned the frame over and placed it under the lamp. Then watch in hand, he put the lamp on for several seconds, turning it off when he thought the exposure sufficient. Meanwhile, he kept up a running chatter about distance from the light, length of exposure, kinds and grades of paper such as “matte”, “semi-matte”, and “glossy”. He became highly indignant and threatened ex- pulsion when I inquired perfectly seriously of a possible connection between “matte” and carpeting. His next step was to remove the paper from the frame and immerse it in the de- veloper, shaking it slightly while keeping it completely covered by the solution. Up to this time, I had been mildly interested. But from this point on, I was bitten. For a few seconds (Please turn to Page 106) 106 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR LOCKED OUT By Philip J. Serctto, ’34 ONE DAY last year when I came home from school, I found myself locked out. Since my mother had gone away and had not left the key in the usual place, I decided to climb in through the window. Since there was nothing else to do I decided to do my homework. When I found out that I had left my pencil in school I started to look in my mother’s drawer for another. Just as I opened it I felt a pair of strong hands clamped on my shoulders. Looking in the mir- ror in front of me I discovered I was in the arms of the law, that is, in those of a police- man. He asked me what I was doing there, and I told him I was looking for a pencil. This he did not believe and after a few more ques- tions he took me to the station. There I was given the third degree by the sergeant and a few others and after their questions they went into the next room and got into a secret conference which I could not hear. As they were consulting thus, they re- minded me of some football players going into a huddle. After they came out they told me that they would have to detain me until someone came to identify me. I asked them if I could use the telephone, this they gladly let me do. I called up my father in his office and I told him to come and get me. I guess he must have thought I was drunk, but on the way home when I told him of my predicament he burst out in a roar of laughter. That night there was no peace for me at home. A few days later I found out that as I was climbing in the window the lady next door saw me. In her excitement, thinking I was a thief, she called the police and this was the reason for my unusual situation. SHADOWS By Brendan A. Finn, ’33 The white-robed clouds cast trailing anchors Unto the earth-bound trees: The flowers have stretched themselves in shadow Upon the dew-moist leas. The bird has filled the pulsing ether With a full flood of song, The palm upon the arid desert, Has sent shadows all day long. Our kind deeds are anchors holding Unto the hearts of men, Until our storm-tossed barks safe mooring In port we meet again. Photography Bug nothing happened. Then the paper began to turn grey in one corner. This greyness grad- ually spread, covering the paper except for a few white spots in the centre. The grey dark- ened in places, shadows appeared in the white •blotches. Then I realized it was a face, for veiled features grew as I watched, rising slowly out of that grey mistiness. Suddenly, with a rush, every thing happened at once, as when a lecturer focusses his stereopticon slides upon a screen. Before my eyes, that plain :sheet of paper had been transformed into a pic- ture, and what is more, a picture of me! Not until then did I realize the magic that sur- rounds this too-little-known art. How odd it is to watch the development, the appearance of •a recognized face or scene upon an innocently nvhite paper. From then on, I was a patient. I hung on his every word, watched his every action as he removed the picture from the de- veloper, and, after rinsing it, examined it in the dim light. I marveled as he did at its clarity, and my marvelings, being those of a beginner, exceeded his by far. I completely exhausted my stock of superlatives and felt sadly the need of some ethereal language in which to ex- press my delight. But the process was not yer complete. It remained to bath the print in the fixer for a quarter of an hour to prevent fading and lastly an hour’s rinse in running water, to remove the chemicals. But do not think that we waited all that time for one picture. On the contrary, we went to work on other negatives. Nor was I content to watch. I must try my hand at it, and finally, after much pleading, he let me attempt it. Then only did I know the supreme joy, then only could I understand those hours of seclusion and that strange be- havior. I am now a dyed-in-the-wool addict. I have succumbed. Our family is now cursed (or blessed) with two of us. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 107 Eddie Brown's Sunshine Column By Ralph J. Hossman, 34 DO you ever remember reading during the past summer an exceedingly interest- ing and humorous column that ran for a period of three or four weeks in one of the Boston daily papers? If you did read it, did you ever wonder why after appearing for three or four weeks it suddenly passed out of exist- ence? I happened to be an ardent reader of this column and being of a naturally curious turn of mind when I no longer saw it appear- ing in print I determined to discover the cause. I was at this time working for one of the Bos- ton newspapers and this gave me ample op- portunity to find the cause of the disappear- ance of this column and in doing so I stumbled across one of the most unique yet tragic cir- cumstances I have ever encountered. I went first to the city room of the paper in which the column had appeared and secured an appointment with the city editor, and I am going to relate the story just as he told it to me. After the city editor had put away the last “stickfull” of copy for the late afternoon edi- tion and had settled back comfortably in his chair, he told me the following story: “I was sitting here one afternoon about four weeks ago at just about this time when in walked a tall, lanky, young fellow who told me he was in desperate need of a job and asked if I could give him something to do. I told him to go down to the main office and apply there, but he told me he had already been down there and all the employment clerk did was to put his name on file and tell him to come back later, so he decided to come up to see me. “Well, the poor ‘guy’ looked so blamed down in the mouth that I didn’t have the heart to turn him away so I told him to go over to a desk and pound out some stuff so I could see if I could use him. I noticed that all the while he stood in front of my desk he kept blinking his eyes as though he had a hard time see- ing, but I paid no more attention to him as I had some other work to do. Presently he brought me up the ‘copy’ he had written. I had read only about half of what he had writ- ten when I realized that the boy was really good and that with a little practice he would develop into a fine columnist, so I hired him on the spot. “I noticed a few days later that he was wear- ing glasses but he seemed to be having as much trouble seeing as ever, so I asked him what the trouble was. He told me it was a severe eye- strain and that there was a possibility that he would get over it, but that most of the eye specialists said there was no hope and that everything would go dark eventually and then — well —. I noticed that there was a queer glint in his eyes as he said that last and I said to myself: ‘Mike Doyle, you had better keep your eye on that boy’. He had been with us about three and a half weeks and I had man- aged to keep an eye on him most of the time. His column was getting along splendidly when one day, it was during the German financial crisis and we had an awful mess of news to put through, I got a call from Jimmy Rice, he’s one of our police reporters, to come up to the Ritz on the hop, that Eddie Brown, he’s the columnist, had been shot. Well it’s not the usual thing for a city editor to leave the city- room during his shift but I had a pretty good idea of what had happened and I wanted to keep those other newshounds from the other (Please turn to Page 118) 108 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR GREETINGS 1932 By Margaret Le Clair, ’33 Pack your troubles all away — Now’s the time for work and play; Nineteen thirty-two is here Again we start another year. Hold up your head, begin anew With last year’s worries you are through. Forget them now for ’tis with cheer We start again another year. •I 4- 4 THE VOICE OF WINTER By Brendan A. Finn, ’33 I have come again with my stormy breath, And the Summer blossoms have dropped in death; I have made my bed where the flowers grew, I have chilled to ice-drops the balmy dew; Where the sweet breeze wandered I revel free, And my rude breath howls through the leafless tree. I have stilled the song of the summer bird, And my gloomy moanings alone are heard. From the ice-clad North I have sped my way; I have turned to darkness the summer ray; I have lulled to silence the sounds of mirth, And my snowy mantle is o’er the earth. I have come again with my stealthy tread, And the frosts of age are upon my head: I have stripped the wreath from the lover’s brow, And the gay, green leaves from the sunny bough. O, they are all mine! but I will not stay, When the bright Spring blushes, I’ll haste away. DREAMS By Julia SaparofT. ’32 Weird images of a restless brain! Distorted visions of a mind insane! Vague ghosts of the past flit in a restless state! Realities of the present loom for an instant great! The air is filled with a din of sound! Dim soft music of flutes resound! The swish of the wind, the sway of a tree; The call of a bird, the hum of a bee! Twin houses bend slowly toward each other. Each lends an ear to the tales of its brother. Family skeletons, come from the closets, to expose; And whisper their secrets while the inmates doze. Through the streets shuffles Scrooge with a ghost Lamenting, appealing to him from every post. A Cyrano followed by a friendly horde, Chanting poetry, struts, flaunting a sword. They pass, but then, upon the scene Comes the Ancient Mariner with glittering eye; and keen Upon his heels follows the hunch-back Aesop, Who spreads his words of wisdom outside a butcher’s shop. And then there are Dick Swiveller, and his wife, the Marchioness. And Little Nell, and sweet Fadette, and Hardy’s Tess. From the depths of distraught mind are conjured, a thousand scenes. From a tumultuous sea of memory are called a thou- sand beings. The mind, shackled by day, curbed by the reins of restraint Breaks loose at night, the artist Imagination does paint A host of scenes. And Characters, mythical, fictitious, real, teem With mystic beauty in a mystic dream. 4 4 4 MUSIC IN SOLITUDE By Brendan A. Finn, '33 There’s music in the solitude Of sea and shore at even, When thoughts of other days intrude, Like dying strains from Heaven, By distance mellowed, as they roll In whisper’d freshness o’er the soul. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 109 THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT “Reading the New Year In” ITH the New Year have come, most appropriately, new books for the library. The following are a wel- come addition to our fiction shelves:— “Westward Ho”! by Charles Kingsley. “Black Arrow”, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Kidnapped”, by Robert Louis Stevenson. “Treasure Island”, by Robert Louis Steven- son. “Last of the Mohicans”, by James Fenimore Cooper. “Quentin Durward”, by Sir Walter Scott. They are all of the same edition character- ized by large print, attractive illustrations, end-pieces, and helpful notes. If you prefer poetry, there is “Forty Sing- ing Seamen and Other Poems”, by Alfred Noyes. Among the other poems are “The High- waymen”, “Black Bill’s Honeymoon”, and “The Admiral’s Ghost”. The poems are illustrated with decorations by E. MacKinstry. The subject of “Modern American Poetry” is most ably presented in the anthology of Louis Untermeyer. A precis of poetry’s prog- ress since the time cf the Civil War is given in the preface. A short biographical sketch precedes each group of poems. The book is now being used as a textbook in several uni- versities. It is certainly one of the most com- prehensive of its type. Of unusual interest especially to those study- ing Shakespeare is William Stearns Davis’ “Life in Elizabethan Days”. The great period is viewed from several angles. The sports, wars, rogues and vagabonds, books, “pains of schooling”, and stageplays are some of the sub- jects covered. To read Mr. Davis’ book is to realize that all the Elizabethans were not geniuses. There were many very human be- ings. Since it does give such an intimate pic- ture it serves as a background for one of the most important periods in English literature. Even more practical are the additions con- cerned chiefly with commercial subjects. Two are related to the work of a secretary, “Secre- tarial Procedure” and “The Secretary’s Hand- book”. The former contains a timely article on the “Technique of Getting a Position”. Methods of modern filing are made clear by the numerous illustrations and diagrams in the “Modern Filing Manual” and the detailed in- struction and illustrations of “Progressive In- dexing and Filing for Schools”. THE LEWIS CARROL CENTENARY The year 1932 marks the centenary of Lewis Carrol, or Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, creator of Alice who traveled through “Wonderland” in one immortal book and passed through a mirror into “Looking Glass House” in a sequel. The date of Dodgson’s birth is January 27th, 1832. (Please turn to Pape 110) 110 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A CHEYENNE LEGEND By Brendan A. Finn, ’33 A TEACHER had been telling stories to a group of boys at the Cheyenne Reservation School in Montana. The young Indians listened to the tales of the White Man with interest, and when the teacher had finished they called for more tales. “No”, said the teacher, “no more White Man’s stories today”. This time you are go- ing to tell me a Cheyenne story — and you are going to write it as part of your composi- tion work”. The boys set to work on their compositions, and from among them we may select as the best, the Cheyenne legend of “Why the Pine Tree Keeps Its Needles”. God, the Great Medicine, had labored very hard for seven days, and He was very tired. He clapped His hands and all nature stood at THE LEWIS CARROL CENTENARY (Continued from Page 109) Many have read and enjoyed Lewis Carrol’s two fantastic tales of a prim little English girl — a real little English girl — and her strange adventures. “Alice’s Adventures in Wonder- land” and “Alice Through the Looking Glass” are still best sellers among fairy stories. How did these favorite fairy tales come to be written? Alice Liddell was Charles Dodgson’s favor- ite little girl. She was the little daughter of the learned Dean Liddell of Oxford University, where Dodgson, a bachelor of thirty, lectured on higher mathematics. One summer after- noon, sitting under a haystack, Dodgson told to Alice the beginnings of the story which opens with the white rabbit, hastening past saying to itself: “Dear, dear, I shall be too late”. As the tale progressed, Dodgson included his friend Robinson Duckworth, afterwards Cannon of Westminster; Lorina and Edith Lid- dell, Alice’s two sisters, and himself in the inci- dent of the Pool of Tears. Duckworth was the duck, Lorina the lorry, Edith the eaglet, and Dodgson himself, the dodo. Alice, of course, was heroine throughout. Why don’t you get out a copy of “Alice” and re-read some of its delicious nonsense? attention while the Great Medicine spoke to them. He looked over the work of His hands and smiled, for He saw that He had made all things well. There rolled the billowy ocean and the green-carpeted earth spread out before Him covered with hills and valleys, thousands of flowers and tall, stately trees, and the Great Medicine was happy at the work He had done. But of all His works He thought the tree was the most beautiful. “Listen to Me”, He said, as His mighty voice reached to the end of the earth, “listen to Me and hear! I have worked hard for seven long days and I am tired. I am going to rest for seven days now, and I wish you all to be or- derly while I am gone”. Then the Great Medicine appointed the trees to stand as sentinels while He slept. They were to guard creation, to prevent the sea from rising in fury and inundating the land, and to prevent the giant boulders from sliding down the mountainside and crushing the little plants below. When all things had been done, He clapped His hands again and departed to a cave, where fatigued from His seven days of labor, He soon fell asleep. That night, under the starry sky the trees held a great council. One by one they ex- pressed their happiness at the trust reposed in them by the Great Medicine. They pledged their loyalty and their watchfulness, and promised themselves that they would take care that all should be in order when the Great Medicine awoke. Again they assembled in council on the suc- ceeding night. But on this second night, some of the younger trees began to yawn, for they were growing tired of watchfulness. On the third night some of the trees were fast asleep while others were delivering their speeches. And even more were asleep when the council convened on the fourth night. But, on the fifth night the Great Medicine suddenly awoke from his slumbers and said: “I shall go out and see what the trees are do- ing. I shall see whether they have been faith- ful sentinels”.

ON Wednesday, December 22nd, the Players’ Club held their annual Christmas party which has come to be one of the big events of the club year. This year, in addition to the regular members, many of those who were formerly of our num- ber attended. Among these members were John Lyle, Isabelle Parker, Emma Goulart, Dorothy Gattoni, Frances Allen, Dorothy Neagle, Irene Ward, Donald Taylor, Frank Wil- kins, Stewart Mancib, Everett Day, and Elston Pratt. The club was very pleased to receive a Christmas card from Eugene LeSieur, one of our past members, who is now studying danc- ing in Paris. Although Mr. LeSieur left Som- erville High several years ago, he has never forgotten the Players’ Club. The members have started work on marion- ettes for a production to be announced at a later date. On January 15th, the lighting class pre- sented some comedy scenes from “A Midsum- mer Night’s Dream”, using lights for the most part to “paint” the scenery. This provided a very interesting program as it was the first time this idea had ever been tried at S. H. S. Characters were portrayed by David O’Brien, Henry Syer, Warren Russell, Walter Knowlton, Joseph Panza, Donald Foote, Rosamond Reiser, Paul Kingston, Larry Parr, John Howard, and Frank Magliozzi who also directed. On January 22nd, a very pleasing comedy, “Lotus Blossoms”, was presented to the mem- bers and their guests. Among those taking part were Dorothy Hallberg, Audrey Moran, Dorothy Silver, Ruth Carter, David O’Brien, and Melvin Grant. The play was very ably directed by Mildred Baxter. NATIONAL HONOR ELECTION Shortly before the Christmas holidays a meeting of the National Honor Society was called. Copies of the constitution were dis- tributed for inspection by the members. After they were acquainted with the requirements and methods of election they proceeded to elect officers for the first half of the year. The results of the election are listed below:— Rae Anderson, president. Harriet Burke, vice-president. Julia Saparoff, secretary. Warren C. Russell, treasurer. Now that the society is organized we await demonstration of its work in the interests of our school besides the mere recognition of the merits of outstanding members of the student body. Certainly, the “cream of the crop” (as it might be put), gathered in one body under able leaders, should be able to do big things. This remains to be seen. 4 •!• The Prose Club started its yearly program with a most interesting meeting. Keep it up members and you will be sure of a large attendance. Didn’t our lawn look well last summer, though? It won’t be that way this year if you don’t keep off of the corners and give the grass a chance to grow. Encourage future Daniel Websters by attending the interesting debates presented free of charge to the student body. Up-to-date topics are chosen by the Webster Debating Society. Resolved: To pay for your Radiator subscription promptly. Congratulations to the advertising and circulating staff of the Radiator upon the fine way they have carried on their tiresome business in spite of the depression. 112 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Editor’s Note:—The staff of the Radiator wishes a Happy New Year to all exchanges by means of this column. Comments: THE TRADESMAN, High School of Commerce, Bos- ton, Mass. Yours is a well-arranged magazine. Every- thing is so uniform that it is a pleasure to read it. We enjoyed your Aviation section. That page of foot- ball sketches was great. THE SPECTATOR, Browne and Nichols School, Cambridge, Mass. The postman brought us a new magazine last month, namely, the “Spectator”. A half- page devoted to comments made by former editors made quite a hit with us here at Somerville. It was so unusual. The athletic editor of this magazine does a fine job on his notes. TUFTS WEEKLY, Tufts College, Mass. BOWDOIN ORIENT, Bowdoin College, Me. After we had read these two papers we decided that they both merit the same type of praise. The news reporters do a thor- ough job and write up their notes in such a way that a perfect stranger can understand what the whole thing is all about. The Frat notes, games, lecture notes and editorials of both are fine. WESTERN STAR, Western Junior High School, Somerville, Mass. “Sparkles” is a delightful name for a poetry section. The poems in your last numbers certainly were “sparkling”. Where’s your Exchange column, neighbor? BLACK AND GOLD, R. J. Reynolds High School, Winston-Salem. What an excellent piece of work you are doing with your new magazine! We like the idea you have of devoting one issue wholly to romance, the next to comedy, etc. Hope you send us your next number. We’d like to finish that highly amusing tale of “Robinson Carusoe”. CLARION, Jamaica Plain High School, Boston, Mass. Congratulations to those who contribute to it. The poems in your last number were fine work for high school students. OLD HUGHES, Hughes High School, Cincinnati, Ohio. When we look over a bunch of exchanges that have just been brought in and find one with a Cincin- nati postmark, we jump for joy, for we know that it is that marvelous magazine of yours. Your covers ai e really startling in their style and the stories fit in so well with your headings. Congratulations to the staff! CARD AND COWL, St. Joseph’s Seminary, Calli- coon. New York. “The Man of Peace and the Child of God”, (St. Francis), was an inspiring tale. Your Exchange column is exceptionally good due to your exchange editor’s well written criticisms. We are still looking for a comment on the “Radiator”. Excerpts: The Examiner’s Nightmare: The Griple Alliance was Faith, Hope and Charity. King Alfred beat a number of Dames. The Government of England is a limited mockery. Alexander the Great entered Troy disguised as a wooden house. Epics describe the deeds of men called epicures. Homer wrote the “Oddity”. Pope wrote in heroic cutlets. De mortuis nil nisi bonum: There’s nothing but bones in the dead. Hors d’oeuvre: Cut of work. The wife of a Duke is a duckey. He was dressed in the garbage of a monk. Louis XIV was gelatined during the French Revolu- tion. Ali baba means that you were somewhere else when you committed the crime. —Holt School, Liverpool, England. MacGavish: “That’s a fine building for ye. What dae ye think o’ it”? American (visiting Scotland): “Say, that’s nothing. We’ve got hundreds of buildings like that but much bigger. The canny Scot: “Ay, I expect ye have. That’s an insane asylum”. —Henry Lord Junior High School, Fall River, Mass. As They Say It: Westerner—Birds of a feather flock together. Easterner—Ornithological specimens of identical plumage invariably congregate in the closest possible proximity. Tradesmen at the Talkies: Fruit Dealer—What a peach of a play! Fisherman—A whale of a show! Printer—Just the type I like! Plumber—A piping good attraction! Dentist—It’s a wow! Wild Animal Trainer—A howling entertainment! Street Car Conductor—Fair! Ford Mechanic—A rattling good presentation! —Girls’ High School, Boston, Mass. What Others Think of Us: The “Radiator” from Somerville High is a new mag- azine to reach our desk. We like the way your Class Notes are written and we also like your cuts. —Leominster Junior High, Leominster. Mass. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 113 1932 And once more that old famil-ee-ar strain (on your sense of humor) ushers in another program sponsored by O’Reilly, Murphy, Callahan, and Finklestein, (that’s right, all Swedes!) the sole manufacturers of that uni- versally unknown product, a combination snow shovel, shoe string, and ice cream freezer. Did we score once more for the old mustard — I mean, maestro? Note your November issue. And was it unsettled weather Xmas week? Despite all our efforts, enticing officers, frantic pleading, and worst blackmailing, we could not per- suade Bill Tesson to lift his literary pen for our colyume. Too busy writing poems for T, I guess. At any rate we’re going to publish his biography. LIFE STORY OF WILLIAM TESSON Or An Inmate’s Story As I attack this monstrous task, I feel the weight of a great burden on my shoulders. I am to write the life story of a great man. (Editor’s note: The biographer is apt to exaggerate). However, a breath of fresh air, a glance at the heavens, and a glass of pure spring water — and once more I am ready to face my problem. As Milton once said, “Give me lib- erty, or give me death”. Or, to phrase it in the words of Alexander the great Graham Bell, “Sorry, sir, they do not answer”. But on the other hand three rings and a wrist watch. What more can you want for ten cents ? Editor’s note: This app(e) ailing story full of hu- man interest, etc., will positively be discontinued next month. The previous chapters of this great novel may be obtained in most any ash barrel. Thenk yew. Did you get anything out of the story printed above? Neither did we. Obituary And here lies poor old Hiram Blot, He tried so hard to win a lot! He trumped her ace — knew he ought not, He wanted — what he got. But there’s a game current known as Crazy Bridge, which even yours truly can play. So, you see, there is some hope. And in answer to that problem in our last. Such a condition can exist if either team leaves the field, the game being then won 1—0 by the other team. Smart fellow, eh? Now let’s see if you can find what town is mid-way between Boston and San Francisco. We’ll be looking for you at the Poetry Club. Some interesting programs are being planned. Remember, there are no requirements for membership save a de- sire to learn to enjoy poetry. So toss away your antiquated ideas about the value of poetry by coming to one of our meetings to find out the TRUTH. And this is really 1932. At last the year, we have been looking at from the distance for a long time, has come. This is our year. Let’s make it a point not to besmirch this year, but rather to make it one whose fame at the time of our graduation will never be outlived. Let’s see what you can do about it, Bob??? We’re with you. Congratulations for having lasted this far. But I fear my time has come — and so — until next month — Happy Landings! 1933 Well, the last Radiator Class Notes page certainly looked as if I were a dreadful hog, didn’t it? The idea is, if the Sophomore and Seniors Class editors don’t take up more room, I have to. I’ll leave them a little room this time, though. A great deal has been written and said (and a great deal better left unwritten and unsaid) about the in- tricacies of the window and curtain cords. The latest thing that has come to my notice is the bee-autiful permanent wave in most of them. And incidentally, this wave enables them to become involved in each other very nicely. I think the height of embarrassment and confusion is when you’re reciting an algebra example and get to the end and can’t remember if x=Mr. Brown’s chickens or Mr. Green’s Ford. Oh, my! And there was an algebra substitute whom we had recently who actually proved (in algebra) that 2=5. Honestly, he did it, but please don’t ask me how. I’m still slightly befuddled as to THAT end of it. Before I go any farther I have a very important statement to make. In fact, an apology. It happened thusly: There was a play given for the Players’ Club 114 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR in which it was intended the whole cast should be Juniors. But, due to unforseen complications and lack of Juniors, a boy (pardon, a man) had to be bor- rowed from the Seniors. Well, to make a long story longer, the person who wrote an account of the play in the last Radiator said: “Those Juniors really can do something, after all.” This statement appeared with no exception concerning Mr. Donald Foote who, being a Senior, didn’t like the classification, in fact, he was insulted. I tried hard not to be angry on behalf of the Junior Class at his cruel statement, but I realize how I would feel were I listed as a Sophomore so we apologize to Mr. Foote for being such a dreadful class that he was insulted at being called a member of it! Yeah ? We were all studying diligently, the room was quiet and the teacher had stepped out for a minute. (I know the last two statements seem incomprehensible but —) Suddenly the door opened and a Sophomore entered the room and looked around. Then he asked, “Is Mr. — here”? One of the pupils in the room disgusted at the disturbance and the idiocy of the question (these Sophs!) said: “You might look under the desk”! In preparation for the Players’ Club Christmas party a member of the club, the corresponding secre- tary, had the job of getting in touch with the P. C. Alumni who graduated last year and inviting them. And it seems that she acquired quite a reputation on account of her voice when she called up a few. Thusly: The gentleman’s mother answered the phone and called: “So and so, a young lady with a very sweet voice wishes to speak with you.” There were sounds of confusion on the other end of the phone and then Miss S— heard a very breathless “hello” followed by more sounds of struggle and two voices. It seemed that the gentleman’s pal was there and he too wished to hear the “sweet voice”. But he was a P. C. mem- ber also, so it was 0. K. Joan of Arc must have been very musical. She was born in Do-re-mi. Pardon me, all you French teach- ers, I mean Doremry. A girl was struggling to get her violin down from the top of a locker to play in a Christmas program. The class waited. Finally to the amusement and per- haps humiliation of the rest of the male section of the class a boy about a foot shorter than she stood •and offered to help her. Teacher: “What is that figure of speech”? R. Coogan: “Apostrophe”. A polite term for “putting on the spot” is proscrib- ing, or it was in Roman days. That is, it meant the same thing. And the winter term for “taking for a ride” is “taking for a sleigh (slay) ride”. The word in parenthesis is for the benefit of Sophs. I think the saying that takes the cake ’n all the- fixin’s this month is due to Mr. Avery. It happened in an assembly in which our new officers were intro- duced to us. The president, vice-president and secre- tary had arisen and spoken, each beginning with “I wish to thank you for re-electing me to this office”. And the new treasurer, Mr. Sparks did a fine job in spite of vocal mishaps. When they had finished Mr. Avery arose. He stood for a moment and then said,. “I wish to thank you for re-electing me to this of- fice”. And you should ask Mrs. Topliff to read you the- theme in which Saint Peter admitted a man to heaveir on the qualification that he had had Mrs. Topliff in- English. There was a great deal of truth to that theme. Quoting a theme: “When he was convinced there was no one in the house he went to bed”. Teacher: “Very sensible thing to do, I’m sure”. At last we have the answer to the age-old question: Teachers sometimes make mistakes for variety’s sake. I’ll close with a poem like many great speakers. (? As far as I can find out it came from Fall River, There should be a law about cities keeping their non- sense at home. The person who wrote it was in love, so I’m told. Well — Are she gone? Is 'She went ? Has her left I all alone? Us can never go to she, Her can never come to we! How can it was? 1934 Editor’s note: (We thought possibly that you were tired of the old style so we are going to give you a slight change. Please imagine this column to be a personal letter from someone at S. H. S. If you like it tell us, if not, tell us how you would like to have the class notes written.) Somerville High School1 January 25, 193? Dear Schoolmate: Great things have been happening at S. H. S. during the last few weeks. A number of these events had to do with the observance of Christmas. The members of the elocution department of the school gave such a splendid Christmas play entitled “The Empty Room”, that I felt highly honoi-ed to at- tend such a well presented drama. All those respon- sible for its success deserve the highest praise. Be- fore passing from this event I must not forget to men- tion the string orchestra which so beautifully ren- dered several familiar Christmas selections.

Our team is playing exciting games this year so why don’t you drop in on a few? Can you imagine a teacher taking a vote of the class as to whether or not to have the lights on? Well, one did, and with admirable success. deserves high commendation. One member of this group was a fellow by the name of Levinson. It is a very fortunate coincidence that he is so tall, for ■otherwise his bass violin would completely hide him. The fourth period French class in Room 244 pre- sented a very short play written by two members of the class. Of course, it was in French. We haven’t heard whether or not the pupils enjoyed it but we feel certain that Miss Danforth got a great laugh ■out of our pronunciation. Oh well! We may improve with age. One of Miss Jackson’s English classes which meets the fifth period also presented a play. This one was a great success from what I have heard. December also saw the opening of our basketball season with a bang, our team winning the first game from Melrose. Now the pace has been set I hope •every game may be a repetition of the first. The other day someone accosted me in front of our school and asked if I thought the city was saving the Christmas tree for next year. No, I didn’t attend the inauguration but we who had gym classes the next day enjoyed the aftermath in the form of dirt so thick that we almost had to wade through it. An opportunity for the unemployed to get busy, was it not?- Two weeks ago the Sophomores and the Juniors held a fiery debate over the all-important question: ■“Resolved: That present-day advertising is more detri- mental than beneficial”. The Sophomores had Nissen- baum as one of their star speakers. All are to be congratulated upon the skilful way in which they handled the subject. Both classes manifested con siderable interest by the large attendance. Here are a few rather clever remarks made by some of our BRILLIANT Sophomores:— Teacher: “What class do boys, girls, and men be- long to”? Soph.: “Human beans”. One member of the class named Hill who occupies a seat in Room 251, has of late, displayed such a marked knowledge of girls’ cosmetics that we feel he must be one of the greatest authorities in the school on this subject. In one of the English classes while a pupil was reading from our beloved (?) Composition and Gram- mar, the following sentence was heard: “No fishing OUT LOUD”. Very secret, eh? Another Sophomore when asking a friend for the next day’s English assignment, received the following answer: “I am not quite sure what the work is, it is something about metaphors and semaphores”. One of our teachers has affectionately termed Go- bron, “Peck’s Bad Boy”. Then another brilliant Sophomore tried to devise a new use for the indirect method of proof by guess- ing every possible answer to a question and finally getting the right one. Well, this is all for this time and now for that home- work. (Grr-rr-rr). Your friend, Ye Olde Classe Editor. 116 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Dead Ships (Continued from Page 103) ship, and much to my anger and dismay, I found it had been burned and the charred re- mains were strewn over the beach. There was the whole port side in one place, and the stern of the vessel, with the deck still intact, in an- other place. As I looked it over I must have appeared a quite disgusted wreck fiend since one of my most perfect specimens had been destroyed. East Boston has lately come to my view as an interesting spot. Old sailing vessels, after years of service, are towed here and left. There are about nine old hulks abandoned at this spot at present but the two largest ones form the centre of attraction because deep in their rotting holds are many old block and deadeyes — what fine souvenirs they make. These are sad old wrecks. They lie side by side, one headed toward shore and the other out to sea and their decks are entirely missing save for a bit remaining at bow and stern. It gives you a kind of thrill to lean over the stern and read a name long since faded. About these larger hulks is a myriad of smaller ones as if the larger ones still reigned queens of the seas. On the bow of the larger of the two the name “Charles Whittemore” can be read faintly. The other is the “Rebecca W. Moulton”. In the 1890’s there was a wealthy old Boston family by the name of Moulton and it is probable that the ship either belonged to or was named for some member of the Moulton family. The origin, the owners, the voyages, what happened to it — all are interesting subjects to follow up after one has come upon a wreck. On the cape there are quite a few filter- ing wrecks I would like to see. Near Fal- mouth on a lighthouse point are the bare re- mains of a vessel that drove straight through a storm on to the rocks and therefore did not last long. The “rock bound coast” of good old New England and its gales make it an ideal wrecking coast. The Pacific coast is different. It is as the name implies — peaceful, calm. There are no rock bound coasts there. The only picture I have ever seen of a wreck on the western coast was an old windjammer packed in the water parallel to the shore. It was a picturesque wreck for I think it came nearest to my idea as to an ideal wreck. Its four masts were gone and there were great rents in the bow. If such a wreck had occurred on the east coast, the vessel would have been high and dry. In the newspaper I saw an interesting pic- ture of a small steamer pinned on the rocks. It had been pushed up in a storm and could not be floated or lifted off again. I have my ideas as to what a thoroughly in- teresting wreck should be like. It should be a large four-masted ship, thrown up on the beach stern first and with the bow part way in the water, with two masts left standing and a large gaping hole in the bow. Splintered spars and tangled ropes, hanging over the rail, add to its interest. The deck should be in fairly good condition so that we could wander through the cabins. If this “perfect wreck” could happen upon a secluded spot, where one could examine it without interruption, wreck fiends would certainly be grateful to the “pow- ers”. There is a feeling of discovery when one gets the first view of an old wrecked sailing vessel. We behold a thing of the past, a loss because of someone’s mistake or misfortune. These old rotting masses of wood hold a fascination and lure of their own because of their past, their rarity and massive construc- tion. What has happened aboard them and where their sails have carried them is a mys- tery. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 117 BASKETBALL SOMERVILLE VS. MELROSE SOMERVILLE’S 1932 quintet opened its season with a bang (or maybe it was a “swish”). At any rate, the final score of this primary contest was S. H. S., 30; Mel- rose, 18. Sharpshooter Joe Wilson swooped in the first tally to set the pace held by our boys through- out the game. They played fine basketball. Two-fifths of the Melrose five were “be- speckled” and, although our players dislike opposing “blind men”, both pair of these glasses somehow were broken. Accidentally? Oh, of course! The second team, which may seem a little lacking in finesse but not in scrappiness, also scored a victory to complete the successful •commencement of the schedule. The stars of the game were the above-men- tioned Wilson, Pat Duggan, Holden and Buck- ley. That noted sportsman, Edward Chebrook, did not participate in the fray. .i. THE MEDFORD JINX After the Christmas holidays had passed, the Red and Blue team continued its schedule by journeying to Medford to play that very worthy opponent. In this unusual game, Som- •erville lost by the score of 20 to 37. Not once in the first half did our offence click for a single point. However, one of our boys, “Hawk” Jordan, because he felt the need of some shooting practice and did not want to appear conspicuous by scoring for S. H. S., shot a goal for our enemy. Well, we all make mistakes. Anyway, in the second half, the team did make a gallant bid but could not overcome the large lead the Medford contingent had accu- mulated. Pat Duggan was the only creditable player for the weak side, while for Medford, the cen- tre, Hashley, made “hash” of our defense throughout the exhibition. Well, maybe we can defeat these rivals in baseball, although they are our jinx. After the Game When asked if the Medford High A. A. was going to award him a letter for his services, Jordan replied in the negative, saying: “I did it just to be different”. Basketball experts believe things would have been different if only Chebook had played. + LEAGUE VICTORY January 8. This day was quite notable, athletically, for Somerville High. For, after proving its prowess at track, the Red and Blue also won its basketball game from Cambridge Latin. Quite dramatic was the march of Dicker- man’s boys. Trailing in the opening stanza, they shot their way up to a tie at the half- mark. Then they swept into the lead and finally fought off the last rally of the Cantabs, to win 38 to 26. The second team, although not lucky enough to defeat their rivals, exhibited fine spirit. Individually, Joe Wilson, the sandy-haired marksman, and MacLeod, the second’s machine gun, were the “sateillites” with Pat Duggan and Hamilton running close seconds. E. Chebook viewed the game from the bench. He is evidently being saved for a crucial mo- ment. 118 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR TRACK MEET It’s very lucky that our gym is fireproof, else, on January 8 it would have been ablaze, because our track stars were practically burn- ing up the floor so terrific was their speed against Quincy in a track meet here. The final score was 38 points for S. H. S. and 31 digits for the “Granite City” team. The most spectacular event was the 1,000- yard run, which Baird, a Red and Blue Sopho- more captured. At the gun he swept away, content for seven circumferences to loaf along in sixth place, un- noticed. Then he spurted by his tiring op- ponents into second place, where he coasted until the ninth lap, when he gallantly speeded into winning position. And still pounding on, he lengthened the gap and even had enough pep left to break the tape with a driving sprint. In the dashes, Bobbie Hayes, the lightning flash, swept aside all opposition when he sped down the 30-yard path. His teammate “Ber- nie” Gaudett netted third place. The “600“ was also won by a “Soph”, whose name is Senior. This Sophomore, I mean Senior, ran a fine race and deserved to win. Ralph Smith came in third. Gaudett was the fastess “300” man of our contingent and got rewarded by gaining second place in this event. A Quincy “Hercules” named Paine, heaved the shot forty-nine feet to easily win this strong-arm sport. However, George Arbeene, although unable to participate in the sprint, collected three points for us by snaring second place here. With the high jump bar resting at the five foot, seven mark, Lantrie from Quincy, Smith of the flaming hair, and Fitzpatrick (both of Somerville), sailed over. But when another notch was added, only the nimble Lantrie cleared, leaving our boys tied for runner-up. Also in the broad jumping contest did Lan- trie exhibit his supreme agility. Second place was given to Arbeene when he hurtled himself through the air for a great leap. At this point the scorers announced that the next event, the relay, would decide the winner of the meet. So you can well imagine that ex- citement prevailed as the lead-off men crouched’ at their posts. Speedy Hayes flashed out a lead that Della- colli, Riordan, and DiNappoli, our dash special- ists held successfully to clinch the meet for the Red and Blue. It was a fitting climax to- an exciting exhibition. H 4 4 MODEL-MAKING AS A HOBBY (Continued from Page 10-1) The builder is perfectly satisfied to watch his- model run, and he takes an additional pride im the miniature creation of his own hands. That is all he made it for, but his love for this hobby has taught him something practical which may be found useful later. In England, model engineering carries a different meaning from what it does at the present time in the United States. This may be the reason why England is a leader in engine ability on land, air, and water. There has been a tendency here to look towards model- making as toy making. This is unjust to the many followers of the work. You have noticed that the latter statements are on the defensive. It is all intended to ex- plain the fact that the person who takes model-making as a hobby is not necessarily an ungrown youth or man with childish ideas, but that model-making is an engineering sci- ence rather than a senseless hobby. -I- EDDIE BROWN’S SUNSHINE COLUMN (Continued from Page 107) ‘sheets’ from getting the story and smearing it all over the front page. I was feeling de- cidedly low and I left for the Ritz on the hop. I got there a few minutes later and sure enough it was just as I expected, a plain case of sui- cide. I talked with the bellhop that found Eddie, and here is where the most tragic part of the story comes in. Eddie was working on his column for the next day when suddenly the room became totally dark and I suppose Eddie thought that what the eye specialist predicted had finally come true. He probably reached up and touched the bulb in the lamp, found it still hot and then drew out a tiny pearl-handled pistol he kept for just such a purpose. A moment later the bellhop knocked SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 119 •on the door to tell him that a fuse had blown out in the lighting circuit but that the lights would be on in a moment and getting no reply, he opened the door and went in and — well, you know the rest. So that’s the reason for Eddie Brown’s column passing out of exist- ence. Maybe it was all for the best, I’m sure I don’t know, but we surely see some quo?r things in the newspaper business”. Such was the end of “Eddie Brown’s Sun- shine Column” and as Mr. Doyle said: “Maybe it was all for the best”, for who are we to judge? A CHEYENNE LEGEND (Continued from Page 110 ) And when He came He found them asleep at their posts, all except one, the pine tree, which was still awake and doing his duty. When the Great Medicine saw the sleeping trees, He grew angry, and He raised His voice in a mighty shout that echoed and re-echoed throughout the world, until every creature was wide awake. And the Great Medicine said: “Unfaithful trees, I trusted you; but you have betrayed my trust. I shall now punish you as you richly ■deserve to be punished. Hereafter, when the cold winds blow from the North and the snow lies upon the land as an icy blanket about your feet, you shall have to remove all your clothing and stand naked in the cold. But because the pine tree has been found faithful, he may keep •on his green robe as a protection against the winter’s cold”. And so it happens that when the cold win- try winds begin to blow, the trees begin to blush ;scarlet, but gradually take off their clothing, leaf by leaf, until they stand naked in the cold; but the pine tree draws his green blanket around him and laughs at the icy northwind, and stretches out his hands to play with the .snow. (Note: The above story was related to me by a friend who teaches at the Cheyenne In- dian Reservation in Montana).

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 197 YOU — “We teach our youth YOUNG AMERICA how to make a living, but not how to live”, said the American writer, James Truslow Adams in “Our Business Civilization”. How to live! What is living, after all? Is it the attainment of worldly goals, mercenary aims, notoriety? Or is it the formation of character, the attainment of goals of Truth, Knowledge, Love? That is for you to answer, you who constitute “American Youth”. How can you choose? Every opportunity for a wise choice is af- forded you. Not the least of these—“Lives of great men all remind us —”. Need you go astray? Can you not live? Living, real living, is aloof from the speedy, reckless age in which we exist. The attain- ment of worth-while goals is to be found in a straight, fine building; an intricate design, a word of wisdom, a thought-provoking book. With the full enjoyment of these comes that maturity of mind brought forth in the quiet strength and character of a countenance that bespeaks a soul that lives and enjoys life, hav- ing armed itself with Education and Experi- ence. Will you be equipped to face the world when the time comes? Will you be prepared? Will you succeed? Will you live? v n t HOW IS In these times of Stock YOUR STOCK? Market uncertainty and consternation, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for most of us to look into OUR stock. Just where do we stand in regard to marks? Will the next report card mean a crash for you or will your stock rise to a new high level? It’s generally known that Sophomore’s stock can’t go any lower, because it has knocked the bottom out already. Now it must rise! Come on, Sophs! One more quarter in which to re- deem yourselves. Don’t wait until June. Be- gin now. Brush the cobwebs off the old gray matter and stop bluffing. Stop playing on margin. Let’s have less failures. Juniors, you’re due for a promotion!

It was the crowning of a supreme effort of the good people of Somerville to increase the educational facilities which have always been at the disposal of the younger generation. I refer to the recent annex of the East and West building — typical of the good will of the city. Fifty odd years ago, the building known as Somerville English High School was erected on this famous site — the beginning of a great work. Through the years the population of the city has expanded, the number of schools has been increased, the minds of the people have broadened, the method of teaching has been placed on a more efficient basis until to- day we look upon this vast edifice which will bear everlastingly the fruits of these great efforts. Ultimately, we, the recipients of so great an accomplishment are honored with the best of means by which we may pluck the fruits of education even as the harvester plucks the fruit from his orchard, and as we depart into the world affairs we bear gratitude in our hearts, for our great opportunity with sincere appreciation for all. V THE LATIN TEACHER IS ABSENT By E. Earle Silva, ’34 The news comes to the school that the Latin teacher is absent. Of course different people have different thoughts when they hear the news. Here is my conception of what the dif- ferent people’s thoughts are:— Mr. Avery thinks, “So Miss L— is sick. Too bad. Colds are such a nuisance. Now I’ll have to look up a substitute. I hope it is nothing serious.” A substitute who believes he will be asked to take the class thinks, “So Miss L— is sick. I suppose Mr. Avery will call on me to take her place. I haven’t looked at a Latin book for years. Just my luck.” The substitute who is asked to take the class and who incidentally knows little about Latin thinks, “Well, this is great. I have to take charge of a Latin class. What will I do? I could have them write the next lesson or give them a study period.” Incidentally he does give them a study period. The boy who never prepares his lessons thinks, “Boy! What a break! I don’t like to wish anyone any hard luck, but it’s lucky for me Miss L— is absent.” The class as a whole thinks, “This is great. The substitute will probably give us a study period and we can work on our themes and maybe do our French.” Then into this beautiful train of thoughts comes the news that Miss L— was detained but is here now, and ready to teach her classes. Oh well! It’s a small world after all. ALUMNI NOTES 1931 Doris Siegel is a student at Simmons Col- lege, Boston. Blanche Wiencho is a student nurse at the Cambridge City Hospital.

Finn, ’33 AGAIN and again on the way to Burke’s Horse and Mule Market, Jim Fong’s grip on the reins tightened spas- modically, but “Old Horse,” accustomed to his master’s habit of dozing, jogged placidly on. The thought that he was deceiving Old Horse troubled Jim. For ten years, six days a week, daybreak had found the aged Chinaman driv- ing the shambling white horse to the whole- sale market for a wagon-load of fresh dewy vegetables. Today he was taking Old Horse to Burke’s to be sold. Burke had planted the idea in Jim’s mind. Jim passed the horse market daily, and often the jovial horse-trader boomed a greeting at the Chinaman. Burke boasted that he could call every Chinaman in San Francisco by name. Always Jim’s response was the acme of dig- nity. To appear pleased at Burke’s attention would mean loss of face, but secretly he felt flattered. Several times lately Burke had observed that Old Horse was “about ready for the boneyard,” adding that he could easily find Jim a better animal. At first the idea was hateful to Jim. Selling Old Horse would be, he felt, like selling his friend, his companion. But gradually. Burke’s disparaging comments forced Jim to realize how slow, how spiritless Old Horse had grown, what a dingy, dirty, yellow-white his coat, how bedraggled his name and tail, how uneven and broken his hoofs. And at last Jim decided to follow Burke’s advice. Burke was standing near the gateway as the old Chinaman drove in. “So you’ve made up your mind to get rid of the old nag,” he roared. “About time, before he drops in his tracks.” Jim winced. “You buy him?” he queried. “Sure!” Burke squinted at Old Horse specu- latively. “He ain’t worth it but I’ll allow you ten bucks for him on a new horse. I know just the horse you want. Ain’t got him here now, but you come back around four, Jim, an’ I’ll have him here.” “How muchee?” asked Jim. “One hundred bucks and dirt cheap at that.” “Alle light. I go ketch um.” Without a backward glance at Old Horse, Jim paddled away dejectedly. He was scarcely out of hearing when Burke shouted to one of his hostlers. “Hey, Pete, take this old plug and give him the works — haircut, manicure, touch-up — everything but a facelift and a permanent wave. The China- man wants a new hoss.” “I git yuh, boss,” replied Pete, grinning. “Kin we git away with it?” “Easy! What the old jess knows about horseflesh you could put on a pinhead.” The flunky led Old Horse to the barns. Promptly at four o’clock Jim Fong trotted into the horse yard. Burke led him to the stall 200 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR where stood a trim, dapple-gray horse, his coat sleek and shiny as satin. “Beauty, ain’t he?” exclaimed Burke. “Same weight and height as your old nag. Pretty color. I knew you liked a gray.” “Yes, I likee glay horse,” Jim agreed earnestly. Producing a green wad, the old Chinaman carefully counted off nine crisp ten-dollar bills. They harnessed the new steed to Jim’s wagon. One foot on the step, Jim hesitated. “Old Horse —” he could not finish. It seemed cruel to depart without a farewell word to his faith- ful servant. “Oh, he’s gone,” said Burke. “Gone — alledy?” “Sure, got rid of him early this morning.” Jim Fong clambered into the wagon, gath- ered up the reins into twitching fingers and drove through the open gate. The farther he traveled the deeper his dejection, and the more he regretted his transaction. His momentary enthusiasm for his handsome new horse was outweighed by his remorse at having lost Old Horse. Poor Old Horse! Deserted, sold to someone who might even mistreat him. Jim fairly writhed at the thought. Arriving at Chinatown, Jim drove down the narrow alley where his shack and Old Horse’s stable sprawled behind the Dragon Cafe. Shrilling “whoa,” he slowly descended from his high seat. He was heartsick at his own treachery. What if Old Horse had grown old and slow? Jim realized that he himself was no longer young and quick. And at that, Old Horse was as spry as this new horse! The new horse stood motionless as Jim fumbled at the buckles. The last strap un- done, Jim lowered the shafts gently to the ground and reached for the bridle to lead the animal to his stall. To his amazement, the new horse stepped sedately from the shafts and, brushing past Jim, moved leisurely but surely around the shack into Old Horse’s place and began munching oats. For a long, tense moment Jim Fong stood stock-still, his face inscrutable as a bronze Buddha, his eyes shiny black beads. Then, pattering into the stable, he carefully examined his purchase muttering a peculiar sing-song during the process. Convinced at last that what he suspected was true, he smiled, a bland, calm, superior smile. The new horse was Old Horse! No doubt of that. Burke, the wily horse-trader, had tricked him. He had made Old Horse almost young again, with his beautiful sleek coat, his trimmed and shod hoofs, his silky mane arid tail; marvelously transformed, but Old Horse himself! Chuckling to himself, Jim stroked Old Horse’s satin shoulder. And Old Horse, aware of his new desirability, whinnied and kicked up his heels skittishly. Infinite peace pervaded Jim Fong. He held no grudge for Burke. What was a little money compared with finishing his life with Old Horse! Nothing else mattered. Unwittingly, Burke had given a new lease on life not only to Old Horse but also to Jim Fong. MOUNTAINS By Henry Fowler, ’33 There is scarcely a person in the world who has never looked at a mountain and thought, how majestic it looks rearing up into the heavens, sometimes wearing a halo of clouds. What, I ask, is more majestic than a mountain? A skyscraper? No, a skyscraper has not the grandeur of a mountain. Some might say that a waterfall such as Niagara has more splendor, but to me a mountain is much more majestic. Everyone has wished to climb a mountain sometime in his life, especially in youth. Why do we wish to climb a mountain, is there a pot of gold at the top? A mine? Another Ko- hinoor diamond? What is it that draws one? It is the look of majesty about it that makes people risk their lives to reach the sum- mit. Scores, hundreds have lost their lives trying to climb Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Yes, and still more will lose theirs until finally it is climbed. A single towering mountain on an otherwise level plain is more wonderful than even a range such as the Rockies. The contrast be- tween the plain and mountain is much more (Please turn to page 206) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 201 When Duty Calls By Mary E. Hutchings, ’33 T young lad presented an attractive picture in his khaki uniform as he emerged from the barracks and made his way across the flying field. It was his last week of training in the aviation school. Arthur or “Art” as he was called, had only two more (but very important) tests to pass before he would be a licensed pilot and ready to serve his country in the “Army Air Corps”. Crossing the field he was greeted on all sides, “Hi, Art”, “Hope you make it” and other en- couraging remarks. The final result of his three long months of training would be put to test in the next few hours. Arthur went to his plane and examined it with such fondness that one would think he was caressing a much beloved toy. Finally he said that he was ready. His pilot climbed in, the mechanic swung the propeller, the engine throbbed louder and louder. They were off! His first test was to pilot the ship for twenty minutes and then to land safely. After ten minutes in the air, Arthur took the controls. The ship answered to his guiding hand. In the distance an air-mail plane could be seen returning to the airport. Arthur longed to meet it and race back but he resisted the temp- tation. This time he was to do the job alone. There was to be no help from the pilot. Down, dropped the ship. Gradually he came closer and closer to the earth till at last he landed in the centre of the mark. Once more the plane went taxiing across the field. Safe! The pilot leaped from the ship. “Well done,” that was all the praise. It was all in the day’s work. After chatting with his fellow students for about an hour he returned to his plane. He carefully examined it for this time he was to take it up alone, fly a specified distance and then return. He gave the signal, the mechanic responded, and he was oft'. Off like a bird in the air. Up he climbed, until at last he seemed like a small bird to those watching. Flying against the wind he finally completed the specified distance and started to return. He had completed about one-half of the dis- tance with amazing speed when, as he was preparing to land, he felt the ship rock vio- lently, and then before his horrified gaze the plane all at once seemed to burst into flame. He hastily tried to land but the descent was too terrific. Then knowing that he would surely crash, he adjusted his parachute and prepared to jump. But he was too late. A crash! All that he could see was a burning mass. No one seemed to know what had caused this disastrous result. An ambulance was rushed to the scene. Men dragged him forth quickly and in a short time he was on his way to the hospital. The wreckage was quickly cleared away and anyone coming to the field an half-hour later would never have thought that an accident had occurred. When the doctor left the patient’s room he said to those waiting, “a few severe burns and a fractured arm, but he will be as good as new in two months.” True to the doctor’s words Arthur was well again in two months. On November the tenth he was permitted to try his test again for it was learned that the accident had been caused by a bombing plane. The pilot of the plane was practising tossing down “fake bombs” but through the carelessness of one of the packers, he had re- ceived an actual bomb. This time Arthur piloted his ship safely and received his long desired license. But it was too late. The next day was “Armistice Day.” All the world was at peace. ! A dance, a date, Perchance, out late; A class, a quiz, No pass, gee whiz! 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR AS I WAS SAYING By George Moran, ’32 Whenever, either in a discussion with a group, or in reading, the question of belief or disbelief in apparitions and things supernatural arose, I more vehemently than others, vowed my increduity in such matters. The applica- tion of this disbelief was unexpectedly put to the test on a certain morning a few weeks ago. Faintly, in spite of the insistent ringing of the alarm and the dimness and drowsiness of those few moments before becoming wide- awake, I heard the steady drizzle of the rain outside of the window. With a groan I shut off the alarm clock, the hands of which showed that it was five minutes past five o’clock. After a precious five minutes in bed, I struggled out to dress. Although the struggle with the de- sire to sleep was not unusual, the rain was an unexpected source of chastisement. Grumb- ling, I set out to deliver my paper route. The city, with its darkened houses and empty streets, seemed to be in a different world. The fact that one generally meets cer- tain people at certain places, seems to give the early morning an atmosphere entirely its own. The scattered few, the milkmen, policemen, and other early risers, whom one meets, appear to be moving spectre-like, from one street light to another, only the sounds of their footsteps telling of their passage up the street. On this certain morning I had had the usual dis- inclination to rise, the usual dissatisfaction with life in general, met the usual ghosts of the street lights, and had made up the bundle of newspapers, and had started out on my route, when an event occurred which was and is to me the most memorable of any experi- ence. I had delivered almost one-half of my route when I entered an old apartment house to leave about twenty papers. It was that period just after the street lights had gone out, a time when morning had not yet cleared up all the shadows and darkness of the night, leaving a dusky light. There is perhaps no more gloomy and forbidding place at this time than the back-stairs of an apartment house, especially one where the lights are broken in the halls. This particular building was built around a large court, off from which were the different staircases. I had just entered the third stair- case and was just about to start up the poorly- lighted stairs, when I heard near me a loud rustle and clatter. Any overwhelming feeling of bravery, which I had thought would imme- diately show itself on any such occasion, fled, when, on looking over my shoulder, I saw a pale, ghost-like figure about two yards away. I stood still, not having the courage to investi- gate. Now was the time to bring into play any disbelief of ghosts or forces outside of our ordi- nary life. But, when faced with the reality of the darkness, the noise, and the still misty figure, I felt a most amazing reluctance to re- main. I was just about to take to my heels when I suddenly remembered the tall statue of Abraham Lincoln which was kept at the foot of the stairs. My sigh of relief was cut short by the remembrance of the bang. Although for a moment various explanations flashed through my head, I realized that I must inves- tigate. The noise proved to have come from a pan knocked over by the wind on my opening the door. Although I knew my fright to be absurd, it was some minutes before I breathed easily; even now I glance respectfully at the pale figure of our former president. •I- + -l- THAT TIRED FEELING By Brendan A. Finn, 33 The coffee complains that it’s not feeling strong; “I am coming unstrung,” says the bean. The lettuce remarks, ‘‘I’ll curl up ere long; I feel wilted, you get what I mean?” “I can’t do a stroke,” says the kitchen clock, “I feel all run down inside,” “I can’t wake up in the morn,” says the cock; ‘‘No more can I crow in my pride.” The flowers just stand by the old garden wall; The grass lies asleep in the sun, And over the ground the melon vines sprawl; The brook seems too lazy to run. The motor is sluggish, the wheels are all tired; The carpet lies flat on the floor. And even the flame in the stove has expired, And the winds are too listless to roar. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 203 The Gloucester Fishermen By Joseph I'anza, 32 IT was one of those long, languid, lazy days in midsummer when everybody feels like quitting the job and lying down to sleep. I had tried going to sleep but was unsuccessful. The heat smothered me, so I donned the scan- tiest apparel I had, and set out along the beach. There a cool, refreshing breeze blew in from over the water, swept in among the great boulders, which cluttered the beach, and played and romped until it perished in the burning rays of the sun. I was enjoying that breeze immensely, and had walked a while, when I rounded a bend in the beach and came quite abruptly upon a group of interestingly quaint cottages. Evi- dently they belonged to fishermen, for a stretch of beach nearby was occupied by vari- ous fishing contraptions and long nets spread out on frames. Why, I don’t know, because I’m not especially familiar with fishing. The place was deserted and I was seeking an explanation when I heard voices, which seemed to come from behind a great cliff of rock that backed the cottages. Being too lazy to walk around I scaled the rocks and abruptly, as before, I came upon another scene, although quite different. On the beach were a group of powerful look- ing women, simply clad in home-made dresses and aprons. They looked as if they were at- tending a wake, so sad were they. All of them seemed to be looking at something out to sea, so I followed their line of vision and found that it terminated on a little fishing schooner that was peacefully riding the waves a short distance off the beach. They began to wave heavy, colored handker- chiefs with a sort of slow, forced movement. Some of the weaker looking ones began to cry, first with a few tears and then, with slowly rising crescendo, they began to heave great sobs. I looked out to see and the same maneuvers were being executed with perhaps, the excep- tion of the crying. Along the rail the same kind of handkerchiefs were being waved, only with a more spirited motion. These big women, crying, looked sort of ridiculous to me, and I began to smile until it finally dawned upon my sleeping brain that I was witnessing something serious. I re- membered of reading something about fisher- men going out on dangerous cruises for months at a time, and something about folks who stayed at home, and waited patiently and hope- fully, and something about some waiting for- ever in vain. The smile quickly disappeared from my face, and I felt a little bit ashamed of myself. I looked tenderly upon the women and pitied them, for I knew, then, that they were the ones who suffered. The schooner had weighed anchor and was moving out to sea, when I noticed that the flickering handkerchiefs were waving in an- other direction now. I followed with my eyes and discovered something that had quite Jinc i 204 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR escaped my attention. Upon the highest ledge of the cliff was a low, squatty cabin, much more interesting than these on the beach. In front of the cabin and on the edge of the ledge, silhouetted against the blue sky, was a strik- ing figure of an old man. He was not bent and stooping as would be expected, but on the con- trary, he stood tall and firm, as if he had tossed off the years as they came. He was clothed in the typical fisherman’s dress and on his head and face was the whitest hair I had seen. It was not as white as snow, but just that soft whiteness that characterizes hair when it has entered its old stage. He made a noble figure, indeed, standing against the sky, frisky breeze playfully whipping the white strands about his face, and he, disregarding them, gazing longingly at the disappearing schooner. As I looked I imagined that a tear trickled from his eye. A lump arose in my throat. Perhaps someone he loved dearly, was going to sea on that small boat and it brought back memories of how he went down to the sea in ships. He gave one long, yearning look at the dis- tant speck and then with, slow, dragging steps, he made his way to his cabin and disappeared within. For a few seconds I didn't move. It seemed as if I had seen a vision and was held by the spell it had weaved. Then suddenly, with a start, I awoke. Confusedly I looked about. The beach was deserted, the schooner had dis- appeared and the sun was fast waning in the sky. Still somewhat in a doze I picked my way among the rocks and started homeward. I didn't feel right. Something felt heavy in- side of me. That night, and for many nights to come, I couldn’t get rid of the image of that beauti- ful old man gazing sorrowfully towards the sea. A LESSON ON PRETENDING SICK By Fred W. Young. ’33 It was just before the war and we were training to go over seas. We had been at the camp three weeks and we were getting tired of the routine. What we wanted was a little action. One night some of the boys and I raided a nearby apple orchard; the apples were slightly green and I got a belly-ache. Well, they put me in the camp hospital; imagine putting a fellow in a hospital just because he had a belly- ache? But I suppose they had to have some- thing for the nurses to train on. The next morning I felt fine, but I didn’t want to get up and go through the old routine again. So I stayed in bed and pretended to be really sick. While the nurse went to get the doctor to get me up, I took a big swig of hot water from my hot water bottle. I let it stay in my mouth until I saw the doctor coming then I swallowed it in one gulp. Boy! that was hot, it burnt all the way down! “Doctor, take my temperature,” says I. “Sure, my lad,” says he, reaching for a thermometer. “Good lord, boy, you’ve a temperature of 107!” he suddenly bursts out. Then he ran lickety-split for more doctors and nurses. While he was gone this time I swipes a piece of ice from the next guy’s ice bag, and slips that into my mouth. The doctor returned with a whole army of doctors and nurses, and took my temperature again. Believe it or not, this time it was 88V-� • Gosh? You should have seen how those doctors stared at each other? Their mouths flew open and their eyes swelled up big, and they just froze there. “Why, — why, — er — I believe the man is sick,” gasped the first. “M-mm—most decidedly so,” muttered an- other. They took my temperature at half-hour intervals after that, but it was always normal. They couldn’t seem to understand it, but they gave me at least twenty different queer tast- ing concoctions that day. They told me that I was supposed to be bet- ter next morning. And believe me, I got out of there quick. When I got out, I missed all the old boys that were usually hanging around. There seemed to be a lot of new recruits. I inquired. “Where are the old fellows, chief,” said I. (Please turn to page 206) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 205 LITERARY ANNIVERSARIES T OOKING back over the history of Eng- I lish literature, we find that the births and deaths of many of our distin- guished authors occurred in the month of April. Other great events in April were the first circulation of the “Tattler,” by Sir Rich- ard Steele en the thirteenth, and the presen- tation of “Contrast,” the first play written and performed in America on the sixteenth. These great days may be fittingly commemorated as literary anniversaries. Here are some detailed appreciation of authors who deserve credit: William Shakespeare A friend of mine recently informed me that by reading through to the end of the sentence, and not by stopping at the end of each line as he had previously done, he was able to make sense out of Shakespeare’s plays. This ap- peared humorous at first, but I then wondered if I fully appreciated his poetry, wit, and power of characterization, also his greatness of ex- pression, many and varied conceptions of hu- mor, and marvelous width and wealth of his vocabulary. To portray all these, it is main- tained that Shakespeare was both myriad- minded and accomplished, for he knew so much about human life, the arts, and the trades. Since such a great number of allusions and quotations are taken from his plays, it is almost necessary for the average person to have a knowledge of the connection in which they were used. The better known of his plays are “The Merchant of Venice”, “Hamlet”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “As You Like It”, and “Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Mark Twain closed his book on Shakespeare by saying, “Though his bones will moulder away and turn to dust, his works will endure until the last sun goes down”. Shakespeare rightfully deserves a double literary anniver- sary, not only because his birth and death both fall on April 23, but also because of his numer- ous contributions to English literature. Samuel Langehorn Clemens Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, was an author of great distinction and an humorist, who has vividly portrayed the ir- responsible American boy and given his read- ers interesting information of the life led by native Americans along the great Mississippi Valley. He was born in Missouri, November 30, 1835, and grew up to love the river which he so beautifully pictured. Among his most famous works stand “Huckleberry Finn” and “Tom Sawyer.” In these stories the author appears as a master of humor, pathetic suggestion and a truly crea- tive genius. Most of the adventures recorded in the stories really occurred and the characters are drawn from life. Although written mainly for boys and girls, his books are greatly ap- preciated by adults because they are pleasantly reminded of what they once were. The stories are full of humor yet one can see the serious side, showing the author’s true character, who, at the time of his death on April 21, 1910, was the most popular and widely read author of America. William Wordsworth April 7th, 1790, marks the 142nd anniver- sary of the birth of William Wordsworth, the English poet, who was born at Cockermouth, Cumberland, and studied at St. John’s College, Cambridge. He visited France twice during the Revolution and while on his second visit he became an enthusiastic supporter of it. How- 206 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ever, when he finally returned to England his faith in the French cause was shaken, for the excesses of terror, which he had at first tried to justify as the necessary preliminary to a social regeneration, became more and more ap- palling. This experience created in his youth- ful mind a state of despairing uncertainty from which eventually he was recalled by the sym- pathetic influence of his sister Dorothy. While the two were housekeeping on a modest income in the country, one of the most notable of literary friendships was formed be- tween Wordsworth and Coleridge, his nearby neighbor, and here the two friends published some of their noblest works, including Words- worth’s “We Are Seven”, “The Lines on Tin- tern Abbey”, “Lyrical Ballads”, and “The Prelude.” In 1802, he married Mary Hutchinson, and in 1843, he was appointed poet laureate, as a trib- ute to his genius and a mark of the esteem in which he was held by the nation. He died April 23, 1850. Doris Ferguson. John Burroughs To Boy Scouts who have the intention of passing the First Class Requirement of “Na- ture,” Burroughs is remembered as a prom- inent author of natural history. He was born on April 3, a day which we should not omit in the commemoration of literary anniversaries. For Scout merit badges in “Bird Study”, and and “Bee Keeping”, the book “Birds and Bees” will be found most interesting and is naturally adapted to birds, flowers, and rural scenes, thus giving one a conception of nature which seldom is found among city inhabitants. Any who have an interest in natural history are advised to read “Wake Robin”, “Winter Sunshine”, and “Fresh Fields”. Washington Irving April 3rd, marks the anniversary of the birth of the first really great American author, Washington Irving. His style, quaint, humorous, felicitous, is portrayed to us in his stories of New York and the Hudson River as told by Deidrick Knicker- backer. His keen imagination and appreciation of the unusual was intensified by his travels through Europe. Such books as “Bracebridge Hall”, a delightful story of English customs and manners, “The Alhambra” and “The Con- quest of Granada”, both stories of Spain, re- sulted from his travels abroad. From his travels both at home and abroad he composed his “Sketch Book” which is made up of fascinating stories of very real people: one of the best examples of which is the story of Rip Van Winkle, the man who slept on the mountain side for twenty years. Washington Irving will always be remem- bered as the first American to gain fame and recognition in Europe for his literary efforts. MOUNTAINS (Continued from page 200) than that between the different peaks of the Rockies. The view alone, after you have climbed to the top is enough, but one also has the thrill of thinking, “I have reached the top”. All you see is the work of God and Nature. Here and there at the top, an old, branch- less pine stands like a sentinel watching over the surrounding country. Further down the slope, evergreens, firs, pines and so forth are found. Only the hardiest survive here on the bleak side of the peak. Down still farther a few cows can be seen browsing and chewing their cud. At the base are the plains where one can see, if one looks hard enough, little animals running through the grass. While far away in the distance is the horizon. Some- times the bright summer sun can be seen set- ting over a distant peak and the view becomes more wonderful than ever. Words alone cannot explain how majestic a mountain is, pictures do not show it, only to see it with one's eyes reveals its beauty. A LESSON ON PRETENDING SICK (Continued from page 204) “Shipped overseas late yesterday,” he snapped. “What?” “Yes, a new bunch arrived this morning.” “Well, when do I go?” “You don’t; you stay here until this bunch is ready to go. Take charge of squadron ‘B’.” “Yes, sir. Thank you,” I muttered. Three more weeks of routine! I could have shot myself. But I’ll never play sick again.

I'izzella, ’33 A barrow passed along the way, Laden with flowers, the other day, And from the sweetly-scented load There fell a blossom in the road. A child in tattered faded dress Snatched at the scrap of loveliness, And with her little finger tips Pressed it to her parted lips. As I stood and watched her there, I thought of all the blossoms rare, The masses of expensive blooms With which some people fill their rooms. And give a casual passing thought; To all the loveliness they’ve bought; And, yet one broken little flower Gave that child beauty for an hour. I WONDER By Ruth Cheney. ’34 I wonder if authors and poets Had to study French adverbs and nouns, And the history of ancient kings and queens And how men held fortified towns, I wonder, or did they just sit back, Feeling for these they had no need? If such is the case I really wish that I were a poet indeed. PICTURESQUE By Warren W. Morris, ’32 Standing thus upon this sod I, humble, send thanks to God, For the scene I see above, Tribute from the God of Love. Sunset colors that I see Beautiful as they can be, Scorching red, and sapphire blue Help to make the wondrous view. Now below the silvery sea Stretches far away from me, Stretches far as does the sky As the waves go rippling by. There I see a mountain green Looking like an emerald gleam, With the sun’s long slanting rays Piercing through the white cloud’s haze. 208 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The Mirror, Waltham, Mass.

The Black and Gold, R. J. Reynolds High School. Winston-Salem, N. C. The Black and Gold is truly a different and distinctive magazine but a few class notes and school activities might liven things up a bit. ‘The Record” from Newburyport High has come in looking very sprightly with red and gold cover de- sign. We’re glad to see this neatly set-up publication which arranges its articles under a series of headings such as “Literary”, “Verse”, etc. in logical fashion. A feature both new and interesting is “The College Mail Bag”, a symposium on college life. Alumni of N. H. S. attending various colleges were asked to write some- thing about collegiate life in their particular Alma Maters. This department should be especially in- teresting for Seniors with college days ahead of them. Glad you sent us your quarterly (is it a quarterly?) “Record”. The Wampatuck, Braintree High School, Braintree, Mass. Your exchange column is greatly to be envied. You also have many fine authors and poets in the making. Mr. Jordan (at assembly): “The Seniors will come down to the front to sing while the others pass out.” I wonder what would happen if Mr. Avery asked our Seniors to sing. Perish the thought!

The many cannot know us, They only pace the strand, Where at our worst we show us The waters thick with sa«d, But out beyond the leaping Dim surge, ’tis clear and blue; And there old friend I’m keeping A waiting calm for you. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 209 FLAYERS’ CLUB HE JUNIORS now have control over the Radiator! Good luck to them. We say good luck again as the editor-in- chief and many of the staff are among our members. T Congratulations to the Senior Play cast, com- mittee, and stage hands for a finely presented program. Here again we are proud of our representation, the majority of the players be- ing from our own group. Now get ready for our smoke. On Thurs- day evening, April 28th (if nothing happens to prevent it and what an if this is!), we shall present three one-act plays, “Lotus Flowers”, “Submerged”, and “Friend of the Family”. All three are guaranteed to entertain but just wait till you see “Submerged”! It can’t be beat! We’ll be looking for you; don’t forget us. A large group attended the guest perform- ance of “Cock Robin” presented by the Tufts Dramatic Club on April 13th. We welcome as new members Mary Grotty, Marguerite Herman, and Arthur Martin. s ARE YOU LISTENING? Well, well, friends, members of this far- renowned school and all interested, here’s com- ing at you. The following column or whatnot, is sup- posed to be devoted or maybe it’s donated, to what may be called news, so here I go. Stop me if I ramble. First, we see, slowly but surely, that Junior Night is rolling around and that it promises to be a great event. But then, why shouldn’t it be? Believe me, this Junior Class is what’s known as the “nerts” and under the able direc- tion of Miss Jackson, late of the Western Junior High, it’s bound to be a “wow”. The date, by the way, is set for May 20. Aha, at just about the time this issue comes out, the worthy Players’ Club will be giving a bang-up show. Just cogitate, meditate or en- gage in continuous thought for a few seconds. Three one-act plays that will, so I hear, be be- yond all human conception as to their extraor- dinary worth in the exceptional portrayal of action that is action; and when we say ex- ceptional, we mean just that, as that’s just what the Players’ Club is noted for. Yes, three one-act plays; the first, an hilarious comedy en- titled “Lotus Flowers” in which a mystic (pro- nounced my-stick), know as Madame Valeris provides atmosphere. And the second, aha, a heart-stirring tragedy called “Submerged” en- acted at the bottom of the sea in a wrecked submarine, while the third, is another excellent comedy, “Friend of the Family” that will send you home feeling fine after the stupendous tragedy — Nuff sed? Oh yes, we still see the Traffic Squad around, yes indeed they are very much in evidence, bless their faint hearts. Doesn’t it make the pulses of some of you fairly leap to hear a gruff and sturdy voice literally howl at you to cease your law breaking. Notice I said some of you. There are others a poor T. S. has to yell at but as some of them say, “Ask us, are we glad there are a few. What would we do without our daily tonsil workout, huh”? The Shadow knows. Oh, yeah? Will miracles never cease? The latest pic- tures taken in gym didn’t end disastrously for any of the cameras or parts. What a break!! What is this rumor about the great (?) Walter Douglas? Tut, tut, don’t tell us he has another poor defenseless female on his list. The heartless villain. Can’t he leave a few for us other Romeos ? What a man!! My, my, how swanky some of these bright (?) Seniors seem to be looking now. Still, (Please turn to papre 211) 210 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1932 A BIT OF A DRAYMA (As Bernie Stoopnagle might put it) THE CAST: The court clerk—A respectable man who regrets having fallen to this. The reader—Intelligent, but not enough — else why does he read this? The claws — editor — The most pawpular, most liked, most beloved gentleman in these United States — my humble self. The scene is laid in the right hand corner of an ash barrel. The time is about now. We’re all ready, Henry! (Curtain) (As the curtain rises, your humble editor is dis- covered in his most characteristic nose — lying in the gutter — pardon me, briskly bent over his work. Proceed at your own risk.) Claws Editor: One million — two million — three mil- lion — (No, not business profits. He works in a jelly-bean factory.) The Court Clerk: “The court will please rise as the judge staggers to the bench.” (Enter Judge Gorm- ley.) Note: Judge Gormley’s name is not printed under the heading “Cast”. See if you can find out why. (This play develops as it develops.) Judge Gormley: “Have you heard the one about Judge _M Court Clerk (Whom, by now you recognize as Dave O’Brien by the presence of 1 35 (?) or Room 105 at his side): “Begging your pardon, your horror, but we have with us today as guest artist one of the world’s most famous and infamous criminals, Sacco Vanzmurray.” Judge Gormley: “How do you do, Sacco. As I was saying------” Clerk O’Brien and Peg (in unison), (in 105 every night): “But your honor, this man is dangerous.” Judge Gormley: “What has he done?” Court Clerk John Palmer (O’Brien was fired, couldn’t keep his mind on his work): “For one thing, he ex- posed that Tesscn-Cooper affair. You know that story about how Bill won the heart of fair Louise by his throbbing, pulsating rhythmic thr-tra-la-la-via trombone.” Judge Gormley (from under his bench): “My! My!” Court Clerk Santospinto: “Moreover, he didn’t laugh once during the ‘Millionaire’ ”. Judge Gormley: “Perhaps that was because he knew the terrible effect, it was to have on Dave O’Brien, but still, that was a fine performance. 1 don’t see how he refrained from laughing. I ought to know,, because I sneaked in the back door to see the show.” (Note how well Judge Gormley’s character is por- trayed.) (At this point the curtain is lowered to see if it still works.) Scene Tew Fish day and Friday and Fish day, creep in these lubber boots from day to day, good to the last drop. And all our yesterdays have lighted fish-pedlers their way to Wall Street. Out, out, little flashlight! Life’s but that future shadow, a poor player, Johnny Brown, who runs down the field, and A. Martin is elected class orator. Congrats, Arthur. These class notes are a tale told by an idiot, full of stuff and nonsense, sig- nifying nothing—(Apologies to Shakespeare.) The drayma is now ended, ladies and gentlemen, the drayma is now ended. And don’t forget, to always insist on good old Blue Ribbon Mops. Congratulations to the Junior issue staff for an excellent issue. The Senior class notes of the Junior issue were especially good. 1933 The Junior Class at bat! And the editor of your most popular column takes charge of the wh.le she- bang, thus giving us an opportunity to say a few words about her. Ruth Alice Carter, the Editor of this Junior issu � and, as mentioned before, the regular Junior Class Editor, is one of the finest girls of our acquaintance. She climbed from a lesser position on the staff to that of being Editor of the Nor’easter when she was at Northeastern. Thus it is that this will not be the first time that she has been at the helm of a journal- istic enterprise. With such efficient leadership we, of the Junior Staff, are assured of some success, at last. Wonder if this is out of place? At any rate here’s where we throw our whole soul into the cause of the Junior issue! It happened in a normal division. (Yes, things can happen even in the midst of a group of prospective school teachers.) Mr. Sears had been bemoaning the ills of the Stuarts, when Mr. Avery made one of his periodical visits. “Ah!” said Mr. Avery, “this is the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 211 normal group I run across every now and then.” Mr. Sears, probably still mentally bemoaning those same ills of those same Stuarts, made this woe-begone re- ply: “Yes, the group is quite normal.” Congrats to the newly elected Junior Night Conv mittee, Margaret, Dennis and Robert! In your hands we are sure that May 20th will be a red letter night. And that’s what it is to be, Juniors. Miss Jack- son, who, you will remember, coached that interest- ing playlet for the Poetry Club (and coached it well), is in charge. And that promises good entertainment. Top it all olT with dancing, and you have all the in- gredients necessary for a most enjoyable evening. See you there! But then there was the unconscious Sophomore, or rather an unconscious Soph, for all Stutfmores are un- conscious. This particular Soph, oblivious to all sur- roundings (which happened to be a math class) started to hum, first softly but gradually increasing in volume until his offending pleasure was finally interrupted. An inquisitive voice demanded, “Who is humming?” The Soph’s arm went up instantly and the same in- quisitive voice said, in a different manner, “Report here tonight for humming.” “But,” said the Soph, “that wasn’t humming, that was crooning!” Can you beat it! (And from a Sophomore!) Congratulations to the Senior Play cast and commit- tee for such an excellent performance! Judging by the large audience, the Senior Class must now be con- siderably more the “Millionaire” than it was before. Again, congratulations! “Lend thine ear, ladies and gentlemen, lend thine •ear!” Yowar, the old mouse trap announcing the win- ner of the Purlitzer prize for the books of the year, the late Mr. Joseph McLaughlin. Mr. McLaughlin’s piece bears the title, “The Art of Tardiness” or “1007 Impractical Excuses for Being Late.” The Junior Class and the Players’ Club lost one of their best liked members when Pauline Bruneau de- serted the old Alma Mater for Memphis, Tennessee. But though she is miles away the bonds of affection which sprung up between many of us and Polly will never be broken. Good luck, Polly! Wonder why Marguerite Bertrand is so interested in the athletics of Haverhill High School? What do you thing, Watson? And here’s something which, perhaps, you didn’t know. Gordon Chandler, while exhibiting his dog at the dog show, won a prize, that is, his dog won a prize! We saw the dog, and we can say that the prize was deserved. Two dignified Seniors overheard at lunch: - He: “I can’t go to the theatre so often. I must think about my bills.” She: “Well, can’t you think about your bills at the theatre?” Oh, well, Seniors.................. And now the time has come for us to slip off the scene. So, till Seniors grow brains — and Sophs grow up — Happy New Year! 1934 Congratulations, Juniors, on such a splendid issue. It has far exceeded our highest expectations. Now we feel certain that there is no doubt as to the type of magazine we shall have next year. 212 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR But now to get back to my assignment of 1934 Class notes. We find that the recent election of officers and the class meeting tops the list. Congratulations, Raymond, Norman, Mildred and Pauline on your elec- tion to our Executive Committee. May you ever labor untiringly for the best interests of the class. (We doubt if you will ever be overburdened with the many (?) duties of the office.) The first class meeting was fine and Raymond is to be congratulated on the dignified manner with which he wielded the gavel. The addresses of all the mem- bers of the committee were very encouraging. It may be interesting to recall the remarkable voting at the meeting In favor of Class Dues — a weak majority; In favor of Class Dance —a few more; In favor of adjournment — unanimous. Quite startling, n’est-ce-pas? So far I have been talking on things of the future or at least very new, but for contrast let us turn to two relics of years gone by found recently in a Som- erville attic. These are two issues of the “Radiator” for the year 1883. This was the second year of the existence of the “Radiator” and it was then a simple paper of eight pages without any cover. Perhaps you would like to hear of one of the events of the school at that time. Here is one from a column similar to out- class Notes called, “Radiations”:— “Perhaps one of our prominent suburban divines is mad about some “thing”! He went off on his vacation this summer and when he returned the local editor wrote, ‘The Rev. -------- has returned from his long tour well-whiskered and tanned But when the com- positor had shed the light of his genius on the sen- tence, it came forth that ‘Rev. Mr.------has returned from his long tare well whiskeyed and tamed’! The reverend would have given twenty-seven dollars, if he could have been a prize fighter for half an hour. Rather unfortunate, eh? Another clipping reads:— “We have got the most polite boy in the world here in Somerville. His girl threw some false accusations in his face down at the Lowell Railroad Spring (just across B. and M. tracks, near Gilman square) the other day, but instead of angrily contradicting her, he sim- ply held a dipper of the sparkling fluid under her fair chin and sang: “My Bonnie lies over the water” — and she didn’t see the point either!” That was a clever fellow, eh ? Now to return to our present metropolis of three thousand students contrasted with two hundred and seventy-three in 1883. How diligently we have been laboring over our elective blanks for the past two weeks! Every day the voice of some one would be bound to fill our ears with the words, “points”, “unite”, “electives”. But now the struggle is over and the battle won, so we may return once more to the quiet of ordinary school work. As ever, our classmates have proved themselves the shining lights of the school. Here are a few of their clever remarks:— A pupil translating a certain part of “Caesar” so- berly stated that “There was neither enough of Bru- tus.” Brutus must have been reducing! Eh? In French Teacher: “What is the word for, ‘good bye’”? Brilliant Soph: “Bon jour.” Well, he was only twelve hours out of the way! Our English classes are the seat of much mirth. The other day the following scene took place:— Teacher: “In the sentence, ‘Whom did the boy men- tion first’? what is ‘first’ ?” Soph: “Whom is first, Miss ----------” How very extraordinary! Heard in Geometry: “Mr. Ham, will you please explain that cow prob- lem?” Rather complicated, eh? Another of the shining lights of S. H. S. (Of course it was a Soph) declared that, “A segment is a lino that keeps on going.” Sounds almost like Einstein, n’est-ce-pas? Now for a little excitement from our Ancient History Class. You remember the methods Alexander used in fighting his battles, of course. Well, the other day we were told that he won his battle of (Check) Issus in a very striking manner. How amazing! Found in a French test: “We brushed h:s teeth.” What, were they false? One of our very brilliant Sophs, when asked to use the word “artificial” in a sentence, brought forth the following statement: “Her color was very artificial.” From a 1934 test paper: “Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the perscription for his own tombstone.” Yes, I hear you all saying, “What’s happened, there are so many Soph notes?” I leave that for you to decide and in the meanwhile, I’ll be saying “au revoir a une autre fois”, or “so long until next issue”. Nit: “What’s the difference between a car, a sigh, and a donkey?” Wit: “I’ll bite.” Nit: “A car is ‘too dear’, and a sigh is ‘oh, dear'.” Wit: “What’s a donkey?” Nit: “You dear.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 213 BASEBALL BASEBALL is just starting at the pres- ent writing, but already the parks are filled with fellows limbering up their long dormant arms and smacking the old “apple with healthy vigor. At Dilboy Field a great company of eager athletes are working out under Charlie Dick- erman, who is beginning to sort the varsity material. Out in the “garden we find Captain Billy Chesterfield, the 1931 All-Scholastic choice, supported by John Rogan and Bill Bolster, a brace of capable fly chasers. While gracing the mound are those two “masters of toss , Danny Lynch and Nicky Androski. With these artists “feeding 'em up the opposing sticks should have much difficulty in kissing the sphere. At the receiving end the veteran Rappoli still looks good for his old position. Quite a little spark plug is Geno. And from home plate we go to the guardians of the socks. Joe Davis and Tommy Palumbo, who have both stepped from basketball sneakers to baseball spikes, are found regularly at short stop and second base. But at first and third base there is a great deal of competition. Here’s a list of the battlers: Donoghue, Dougie MacCaskill, Plummer, Shorty Calder and others. (Note: Please remember that this is only a pre-season observation.) Follows the Schedule. April 15—Malden at Somerville. April 19—Lynn General Electric at Somer- ville. April 22—Boston College High at Somer- ville. April 26—Medford (pending.) April 29—St. Clement’s (pending.) May 3—Newton at Somerville. May 6—At Cambridge. May 10—At Rindge. May 13—Brookline at Somerville. May 17—Medford at Somerville. May 20—At Newton. May 24—Cambridge at Somerville. May 27—Rindge at Somerville. May 31—At Brookline. June 2—Revere at Somerville. Spring Sports Outdoor track will be in full swing soon. Then watch such flyers as Hayes, Joe Gorm- ley, Della Colli and George Arbeene hit the cinders. I would have mentioned Baskiwiez, too, but Mike claims I spell his name wrong. What do you think? And did you know that “Hawk Jordan, the Somerville and Medford (?) athlete, was bit- ten on the end of his finger by a mouse which chased him around Mr. Hayward’s office? Just a big game hunter, you know. 4 + 4 BASKETBALL Now, classmates, for an informal resume of the terminating quartet of our quintet’s hoop contests, which were both entertaining and thrilling, and furnished a fitting finish for a successful season. On March 3, good old S. H. S. proved that, although definitely out of the race for the Sub- urban League pennant, it was still a most formidable foe. The boys certainly displayed a lot of “pepper in downing the Cantab con- tingent in a scrappy match. The local boys were the masters in all chapters, popping sure shots almost at will. Here’s a list of our stars (and remember, not one cent was paid 214 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR for this statement): Jimmy Fitzpatrick kept the rings clear of cobwebs as did Hamilton and Captain Bill Bolster. Next our youthful band of court athletes engaged the alumni in an exhibition where youth triumphed over maturity. Please don’t think that the alumni team was composed of ancient men with hoary beards and rheumatic joints. No indeed — in appearance they re- sembled a college outfit. But once started, our HIGH SCHOOL lads made short work of their opponents. Tommy Palumbo and Bolster showed by their marksmanship that here they held “no respect for their elders.” For our rivals too played well: Lundquist and Bob Miller (naturally the latter would). In the Lynn English tilt, Somerville pre- sented a surprising offence and forced their worthy foes to their utmost in order to win. The two contingents had the crowd delirious from start to finish but perhaps the third stanza was the most thrilling. Here S. H. S. spurted to the tying position with their ad- versaries by playing with inspired fervor. Bill Bolster let a couple of stunners go from centre floor, clean as a whistle through the net. Then “Fitzie” plunked in some with his famous push shot, as did Pete Hamilton, who, himself, played like a madman in ail chapters. And did we all thunder our approval — oh boy! (Note: Harry McGlaughlin can really roar louder than a lion. Mr. Pearson had better watch out). All this terrified the Lynn coach who rushed in “Reggie” Pinch (whom he was saving for the Tech tourney) to putt a “Ned Brant”, which he did with his usual brilliancy, much to the sorrow of our fans. Anyway, it was good while it lasted, and in the Team B contest, Joe “Biffer” Davis brightened up our side with his antics. Always fooling, Joe is. On March 11, with a gallant flourish our Red and Blue varsity closed their season by speed- ily “sinking the Navy” (Massachusetts Nauti- cal School). Here, the boys, because it was their last hoop match, played with a reckless abandon which certainly “gobbed” up the attack of the gobs. Everybody with an “S” jersey showed to great advantage both individually and as a unit. Jack East, the lad who literally fought his way to varsity forward, proved his worth by exhibiting fine marksmanship. Another hitherto obscure athlete, Italo Sylvestri, rose in the limelight here, accounting for a size- able personal score. Of course, Davis, the old maestro performed in his own inimitable man- ner. And so for basketball — that’s all there is; there ain’t no more. ARE YOU LISTENING? (Continued from page 209) they say April showers make the flowers bloom in May. If so, then they’re working ahead of time and someone ought to put a stop to it in some way. Believe me, that ought to be food and drink for some budding Professor Butts. Nothing much can be said about the lunch room other than that there seems to be an abundance of Sophs hanging around. Aha, the Shadow would like to know what they put Sophs on the Traffic Squad for anyway. They can make noise enough, everybody will agree, but can you imagine a Senior’s embarrass- ment to have a Soph, a lowly Soph, halt him, line him up against a wall and nonchalantly take his name and number for future refer- ence. What a life!! And the grass, ah yes, the grass which will soon be showing its true color. But get this, recently a man, who claims to know Boston and vicinity, stopped, and with a critical eye focused on said grass, remarked that it would be an ideal spot for a playground. Then, see- ing our not-to-be-beaten school, wanted to know what it was and if it was a school what it’s name was, etc. Oh, I forgot to mention he was quite nearsighted. What is this thing we hear they call girls’ tennis? Don’t tell us we have another Helen Wills Moody in our midst. Imagine, they even play with a racket! The following was a notice received by the Shadow:— Wanted—An organized list of teachers who will patrol the lunch periods and just where they will be at specific times. Aha, what is coming of this world. Well, in closing may I say that I hope to address you again in the near future on what you may call my favorite subject so until some later date, I beg to remain — The Shadow who knows all. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 215 Humor- .. | h i P' Dumb (looking at football pants): “What are those-” Dora: “Football pants.” Dumb: “I never saw a football with those George: “What kind of shoes do you think I ought to wear with these gold sox?” Jack: “Hip boots.” First Cannibal: “Is I late for dinner?” Second Cannibal: “You is, everybody’s eaten.” A ship is called a she because her riggin’ costs more than her hull.

Mr. Smith: “Brown calls himself a human dynamo.” Mr. Jones: “Quite so; everything he has on is charged.” Sam: “Did you know I was in two places yesterday at two o’clock?” Bill: “How come?” Sam: “I was in Newton and I was home- sick.” Father (impressively): “Suppose I should be taken away suddenly, what would become of you my boy?” Son: “I’d stay here.

Each year, high school seniors are confronted with the serious and sometimes perplexing question — “After High School, What?” Those who choose to enter college soon find themselves facing a similar question — “After College, What?” For many years the Bryant Stratton Commercial School of Boston has been helping both high school and college graduates to answer these questions in a satisfactory manner, enabling them to capitalize the training already acquired, but which, too often, has not fitted them to enter positions that will immediately give satisfactory returns, or furnish desirable entrance to worthy careers. To those who choose to enter business, Bryant Stratton affords unsurpassed facilities for securing a training that will lead to successful careers in the business world. Young men, as a rule, find it to their advantage to secure the training of the Business Administration Course, which because of its comprehensive scope has largely supplanted the General Business Course, so popular in former years. It is well worth the short extra time necessary for its completion, as it includes training in both executive and accounting subjects. The young man who shows signs of leadership and has an aptitude for Shorthand and Typing will find such ability a valuable asset, enabling him to meet the in- creasing demand on the part of business executives for young men, who, beginning their business careers as secretaries, may develop the ability to assume the more important obligations of executive positions. Capable young women, who in addition to a thor- ough high school education acquire such training as Bryant Stratton affords in the Secretarial Course, multiply their value and their opportunities, both with regard to the more desirable positions and larger sal- aries. Graduates of the Somerville High School are not required to take entrance examinations; and will be enabled to advance as rapidly as individual ability and the standards of the school permit. Those who have had commercial training will be permitted to enter advanced finishing courses. We suggest that students interested in a business career write to Principal L. O. White, at 334 Boylston Street, Boston, Mass., who will be pleased to supply full information. —Adv. Useful Gifts ....

A Co-Worker. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 229 Down the Hill P T HUS with the eighth issue of the I Radiator we find that another activity is over for the year. You, Juniors and Sophomores, have one and two years left, re- spectively, but we Seniors have reached the top of the first real “hill” in our lives — we have earned a High School diploma. What now? We can not expect to remain on top of that hill without work. This is no time to start sliding along for if we do — well, the valley between this hill and the next is deep and there’s a danger of getting so far down and behind that the climb to success, stiff as it is for the industrious, will be im- possible for the “drifters”. We are all young, some going on to higher institutions and others into the available of- fice vacancies. We shall have to face the same problems no matter where we find ourselves and let’s meet them as best we can and make the most of them. Keep together, that is work with others of our own age, give the best we have in us and don’t be “almost as good” or “just behind” the other fellow. After all, the years between the ages of twenty and thirty are years of experience — a period of time when we have the opportunity to put all our book learning to practice and find how little we really know. Going out as we are this year, there are bound to be disappointments and low spirits. If a job can’t be found, are we going to remain idle and slide “down hill”? No, there are so very many ways in which to develop the minds, so that we shall not have lost our “Selling Points” when opportunity knocks, that the de- grading ones will be weeded out as “ambition- less coasters”. Climb more than you slide and I’ll wish you success and feel reasonably sure that you’ll be successful. APOLOGIES Our attention has been called to the fact that one story, “Jim’s Horse”, in the April issue of “The Radiator” is not original as the identical narrative under a slightly different title by another writer has already appeared in a local periodical. That we did not know this and that we deeply regret the incident it is almost unnecessary for us to state. Our standards of honor always have been and we hope always will be high, and because this is true, we feel that the above explanation is due our readers. The Radiator Staff wishes Mr. Avery a speedy recov- ery. We are sure that we can speak for the entire school in saying that S. H. S. is lonely without you, Mr. Avery. May fate be kind and let you join us in our closing activities. May the faculty have a summer chock full of fun, rest and good luck! To student — a bookless, sunny, and happy vaca- tion! Good luck to next year’s Radiator Staff and may they receive the same co-operation from the student body that we enjoyed. Congratulations Juniors! Your Junior Night was THE social function so far this year. Year Book money should be paid in full, now. How do YOU stand? 230 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR CONSTRUCTIONS AND INVENTIONS BY THE CHINESE By Robert Dunn, ’33 Through the many centuries of the 5,000 years of Eastern civilization, the Chinese have, by time and experience, contributed many no- table inventions to the world. Probably the most common are those of the compass, silk, paper, and gun-powder. Others may be found in the inventions of lacquer, printing, porce- lain, ink and brushes. It is proudly stated in Chinese history that the reign of Wong Di, some 4,000 years ago, marked the earliest stage of invention, for during this period, the intellectual and inventive minds of the Chinese were at their best. In war, Emperor Wong Di made use of the supposedly modern smoke- screen to baffle his enemies, and devised the compass to lead his followers out of the con- fusion. The first compass was not in the shape of the modern handy pocket compass, but was a wagon always pointing southward. The Chinese term it the “point south carriage”. In times of peace, the learned men of the country contrived plans for a written language, which, through improvements and simplifica- tions, has become the present Chinese system of writing. History tells us that the queen of that era cultivated immense orchards of mulberry trees, the leaves of which were used for the nourishment of the large quantities of silkworms. It is recognized, therefore, that the queen was the founder of the enormous silk industry of today. Before the invention of paper, which was discovered over 2,000 years ago, the Chinese carved their words on wide, slit planks of bamboo. With the dis- covery of paper, which resembles the modern Chinese rice paper, literature came into promi- nence, the most of which, however, has be- come unpopular due to the introduction of scientific ideas from the Western civilization. The Chinese were, and some still are, supersti- tious. So, on holidays, festivals, and happy gatherings, fire-crackers, the constituents of which were later developed into gun-powder, were invented to scare away the evil spirits. As for constructions, the first great project that comes into our minds is the Great Wall of China, which has been acknowledged as one of the great wonders of the world. We some- times admire the engineering ability of the Chinese 2,000 years ago, when we consider the length of time which the Great Wall has en- dured, and also the length of the construction itself, which stretches 5,440 miles across the north of China. The Emperor Tun Chi Wong, in fear of his enemies, had ordered the ex- tension, connection, and reparation of the lengthly construction for his protection against the Hong Noo tribes from the north. This same emperor, for his own leisure, also had gigantic palaces built, the most wonderful of which had a capacity for 10,000 people, but was most unfortunately destroyed by invaders. The natural land level of China tends to slope from west to east. The Chinese, noting the de- ficiency of having all rivers flowing eastward into the sea, constructed a great canal that extends from the north to the south of China, crossing the Yellow and Yantse Rivers. Here we find another great wonder which has caused much jealousy among modern engineers. From these numerous inventions and con- structions, we can see that the Chinese are, in truth, not the heathen, uncivilized Chinese that arc described in moving pictures, but they are one of the most highly civilized and practical- minded people in the entire world. Let us, therefore, acknowledge the credit due to them. MY GIFTS By Lena T. I'izzella, 33 I do not need to travel far To find gifts wondrous fair; I pause and, lingering, lift my eyes And see them everywhere! I see them in dawn’s tender light And in the morning dew; There's beauty in the rustling trees And in the gleaming blue! The frosty air, the crimson sun. The silver moon, so bright, The lights a-twinkle everywhere, The lovely, soft star-bright! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 231 Gloucestermen The Story cf Captain Hobby Wallace and the West wind By Ralph J. Hossman. '34 IT was a beautiful spring day late in April when I first heard the story of Captain Bobby Wallace and his beautiful, white mackerel seiner, the Westwind. Captain Bobby Wallace had and still has the repu- tation of being one of the hardest drivers and the greatest sail carriers in the whole Glouces- ter seining fleet and many a time he has come into the harbor roaring past the Twin Lights, the Westwind heeled over under an enormous spread of canvas. Captain Bobby would hold her there until it seemed as if he must ram the dock and then he would suddenly drop his sails, tack to the leeward and come alongside the dock as gracefully as a great white gull alighting on the surface of the harbor. Since Captain Bobby married Mary Frost directly af- ter the trip I’m going to tell you about, he hasn’t been tearing in past the Twins as he used to and it is easy to see that he isn’t the first in command of that little white cottage up on the hill, but as a driver and sail carrier Captain Bobby still compares favorably with the best in the seining fleet. But to return to the original story there were five of us sitting in the Crow’s Nest on the Fish Company’s dock that late April day and somehow the talk drifted around to the subject of sail carrying and some pretty tall yarns had been spun. Finally after Jim Bruce, he’s the company's head of the Gloucester branch, had told a yarn about Captain Jed Har- per coming across Georges Bank one night in a blizzard with his Ellen May carrying everything on her sticks but the storm trys'ls and extra jib, old Charlie Hartt could contain himself no longer and burst out with an angry, “Is that so, well, let me tell you something, Jim Bruce, did you ever hear about the time that Captain Bobby Wallace-brought the Westwind all the way from Georges Bank with a cracked mizzen mast without taking off a single thread of sail and brought her into Gloucester Harbor, the last 150 miles with his maintop and his mizzenmast gone by the board? Of course you haven’t or you wouldn’t be spinning a yarn like that one about Jed Harper and his old fish scow. How do I know about Cap’n Bobby and the Westwind? Why, I sailed with Cap’n Bobby’s father when you were swingin’ on a gate and I’ve sailed many a voyage with Cap’n Bobby himself and let me tell you, Jim, there isn’t a better skipper in all of Gloucester than Cap’n Bobby or there was never a better boat turned out of Jeb Holman’s yards over in Essex than the Westwind, but that’s getting away from the story.” Charlie filled his old clay pipe, cocked his feet on one of the windows of the Crow’s Nest and began the story of Captain Bobby Wallace and the Westwind. “We left Gloucester early one Monday morning right after the mackerel had started runnin’ and we were a day behind the rest of the seinin’ fleet which had left on Sun- day but since Cap’n Bobby had been goin’ around with Mary Frost he’d taken to goin’ to church every Sunday and not even a mackerel run could make him miss a time. I remember Mary came down to the dock the mornin’ we sailed and she sure laid down the law to Cap’n Bobby about sail carryin’ but in such a way that it seemed as if she were askin’ to do you a favor instead of layin' you out in lavender. Cap’n Bobby promised all sorts of things and we shoved off but I noticed that as soon as we got beyond the Twins he cracked on all the sail the old Westwind would carry and she was wearing everything from an auxiliary jib to mizzen royals seeing as she was then only semi-schooner rigged. We caught up with the rest of the fleet that night and passed ’em still ridin’ with everything on the sticks and the next mornin’ we were seinin’ and we had two or three hauls aboard before the rest cf the fleet hove in sight with Jed Harper and Tom Forest in the Ellen May and the Mabel T. Forest respectively, leading. Next day our hauls weren’t so good and we filled up about the same 232 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR time as the Ellen May and the Mabel T. Forest loaded up and Cap’ll Bobby challenged them to a race back to Gloucester on the terms that the first man in gets the first offers for his load and Jim and Tom, liking a sportin’ propo- sition and wantin' a chance to show up the Westwind, agreed, and the rules were that they could choose any course they wanted and that accidents didn’t make any difference, the first man in got first prices. “We lined up that evening at just four bells and Cap’n Bobby started off with only an ordi- nary spread of canvas as we had a brisk nor’- west wind following but as the Ellen May and the Mabel T. began to draw away from us Cap’n Bobby kept bending on more sail until we were running with our lee rail awash. We kept running this way up until the change of the watch at eight bells and when I went below I took a look at the barometer and found it had dropped considerable the last couple of hours and after going forward for a bit of a mug-up of pie and coffee, I turned in. I guess I’d been asleep about two hours when I woke up to hear Cap’n Bobby pull back the compan- ionway scuttle and call all hands on deck. I noticed when I hit the deck that the old West- wind was sure jumping around so I put on my oilskins and climbed on deck. Great Jehoso- phat, but that wind was blowin’and it was just beginin’ to rain. The night was so black that you could hardly see the bow from amidships. 1 took a look up in the rigging as I noticed we were still rail under and I’ll be durned if Cap’n Bobby had bent on a storm trys’l and a balloon jib and with that nor’wester blowin’ fit to take the fire out of the galley range. I went aft to the wheel and there was Cap’n Bobby with a Scotch grin on his face big enough to drive a truck into and he hollers at me, ‘Well Charlie, old boy, the old Westwind’s taking it like a duck’. “ ‘Yep,’ I hollers back, ‘but where’s the Ellen and the Mabel?’ “He jerks his thumb over his shoulder and hollers, ‘We passed ’em at two bells. Both of ’em hauled tight and storm rigged. Bunch of fresh-water sailors.’ “ ‘Yeah, maybe they’re fresh-water sailors but they’re not crazy,’ I says to myself as I go forward to the dory (racks) cradles where the rest of the port watch is huddled in the lee of the dories. Along about four bells the wind begins to get stronger and it was only a short time before we were runing along before a full gale and mind you Cap’n Bobby hadn’t dropped a thread of canvas. We hadn’t been running this way for more than about fifteen minutes when there was a ripping and crash- ing sound aloft and suddenly the maintopmast went by the board and ‘midships section of the Westwind was piled high with torn sail, run- ning gear and the maintopmast alongside and poundin’ against the starboard side with every lurch of the Westwind. I got my section of the watch together and we got busy with axes and started clearing away and cutting that maintopmast loose before it pounded a hole in the side. But did all this business bother Cap’n Bobby? Not in the least. All he did was to look at the rigging and order the crew to reef the balloon jib to equalize the loss of the maintops’ and then head the Westwind back on her course. Well, after about an hour’s hard work we finally cleared away the wreck- age of the maintopmast and then great jumpin’ Jehoscphat we found that the mizzen mast was cracked and there the fun started. I hol- lered to Cap’n Bobby to come down and take a look at it for the old mast was creaking worse than a rusty hinge and after Cap’n Bobby looked it over he sorta grinned and scratched his head and said: ‘Well, seein’ that we’re only a hundred and fifty miles from Gloucester and it looks as if we’ve about run out of that storm and if that mast is agoin’ over it may as well be with a full spread of canvas as empty, I guess I’ll let her ride as she is. What say Charlie?’ “ T think you’re a durii fool but you’re the skipper,’ says I, because I’m naturally a cautious sort of a fellow. “We finally lost our mizzen mast the next morning just as we were coming in the chan- nel past the Twin Lights and right there Cap’n Bobby performed the sweetest piece of seaman- ship I’ve ever seen. When that mizzen dropped it naturally swung the bow of the Westwind in toward the shore and I grabbed the rail and got ready to jump when she hit because we were running through the channel still carry- ing a full spread of sail and if you’ve ever seen Cap’n Bobby drive the Westwind you’ll know (Please turn to page 248) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 233 Toby's Uncle By Barbara Shay, ’33 ALL the long spring morning little Toby Standish had valiantly tried to keep the tears from flooding his very blue eyes but now as his chum, “the little boy from 'cross the way”, waved a final goodbye, the tears overflowed. Toby sighed deeply and took up a position on the top step of his porch. Through a mist of tears he watched his chum’s mother lead him into his house. “Why,” Toby asked himself, “did mothers, nice young mothers such as his own had been, have to die and leave small boys to the not too tender mercies of a middle-aged house- keeper and an ‘incompetent father’?” Not that Toby felt his father to be incompetent — the phrase was Hannah’s and since Toby adored his father — even when a short month after his wife’s death he had gone to the Orient to manage his firm’s office leaving Toby to Hannah with the instructions that he was to go on to Boston to his unmarried brother. Toby understood and loved his father even more. Toby’s feelings threatened to overcome him again but he quickly drew his sleeve across his eyes — an action that would have made Hannah utter a shriek — and blinked rapidly. It was then he saw the man. He was leaning on the gate watching Toby. As Toby glanced up he smiled — “Hello,” he said. Toby opened his mouth to reply but shut it again. All of his six short years had been spent under Hannah’s guidance and every day of those six years Hannah had scolded and cau- tioned him not to speak to strangers. Toby stared at the man. He certainly wasn’t an appealing figure — not in the sense of the word as Hannah interpreted it. He was dressed in rough corduroy trousers, rubber boots as for fishing and a heavy pull-on sweater — an ancient soft hat was thrust on the back of a head of tousled black hair. Then he smiled and his smile lighted up his face. Toby instantly liked him. “Hello, Toby Standish,” he said again. Toby grinned. If a person knew your name he wasn’t a stranger. “Hello,” he replied. The man beckoned and slowly Toby ap- proached him. “How,” inquired Toby, “did you know my name?” The man smiled again. “I,” he said care- lessly, “know a lot about a certain small boy. I know that he is to be sent off to Boston to an uncle this afternoon. I know that his father left for the Orient only a short time ago, and that the boy has been a little soldier. He hasn’t cried,” — the man ignored Toby’s state cf mind when he had first seen him, “and he has helped a certain very cranky house- keeper every day he could even when she was very angry. His uncle is a dandy fellow but I know this young fellow fears him.” Toby was staring at him wide-eyed. Finally he said very gravely:— “Hannah is very very wise and she says my uncle—” The man interrupted him. “Toby, old man, what does a cross, old maid housekeeper know about you or me or your uncle? I know him slightly and really he’s a fine chap.” Toby believed him. One couldn’t help it — the man had a very convincing air — with small boys. The man bent over and ruffled Toby’s yel- low curls. “How would you like to go fishing with me, Toby Standish?” Toby’s eyes sparkled, and he cried, “you bet.” His voice sank however and his little chin be- gan to quiver. “I can't though,” he said, “I’ve got to go to Boston on the afternoon train.” The man shrugged in his careless way. “Well, I guess,” he said slowly, “I guess I can get you back in time.” He reached over and lifted Toby over the gate. Toby placed his little hand in the man’s big one. “Come on,” he said. “I’ve got my royal chariot here,” laughed the man pointing to a delapitated Ford. Toby needed no bidding. He jumped in. The Ford started with a fierce clatter that brought Hannah to the gate just in time to see Toby go speeding down the street cling- 234 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ing to the side of the ancient car, his cheeks pink with excitement. For nearly six glorious hours Toby and the stranger romped and played and fished. They fried the fish they caught and had it for dinner and finally they found a tiny glen where they both rested, Toby with his little yellow head nestled on the man’s shoulder — his long lashes drooping on his round pink cheeks while the man lay against a friendly tree and smiled down at the little boy. After a while however, Toby awoke. Twi- light was falling and the little glen was getting cool. The man carried Toby to the waiting car and in a short while they were home. They met Hannah in the hall, her lips set in a straight, disapproving line, her eyes on Toby’s tired little figure attired in a soiled and torn suit and minus one sock. The man’s eyes met hers over Toby’s sleepy little head and he smiled. “J’m Toby’s uncle,” he said. “I’ve come to stay for the summer.” He went up the stairs. “Good night, Han- nah,” he called down. Hannah, nearly speech- less with astonishment, managed a faint “good- night.” And soon Toby’s tired little voice floated down, “good night.” TREASURES By Lena T. I’izzella, 33 I have a little store-room In the corner of my mind That's filled with all the treasures All the jewels I can find. I’ve gathered them with pleasure, And I’ve kept them bright and new, So any time I want them They are ready, there on view. The shimmer on a sea shell, A little sylvan view, A baby’s smile, a starry night A sunbeam’s golden hue. A flight of birds across the sky, An organ’s mellow tone, A kindly speech, a friend once made A field with poppies sown. I could not tell you all the things Of beauty in that room; But any time I’m worried, Or my mind is full of gloom. I go into my treasure house, And gaze upon that store, Until I feel so cheerful I go out and look for more!

The baron was well in his forties and had streaks of gray in his dark hair. His features were hard and well moulded. His cunning and steady brown eyes showed his character. The physique of the baron pointed out that he spent most of his time lounging around. He was ill at ease; sick of the com- plicated affairs which had arisen since the be- ginning of his country’s struggle with Austria early in August, 1914. While the pale blue smoke drifted lazily to the high vaulted ceil- ing, his mind ran over the recent develop- ments; the mysterious leakage of the secret military messages; the loss of a recent battle; and the capture of Ivan Morofski, the Austrian spy. The baron’s hard features became pecu- liarly harder as he recalled this incident, for Ivan Morofski was his cousin who had fled to Austria because of pressing developments. As he was polishing his finger nails on his loose silk blouse a man slowly walked in star- ing at the tips of his shoes through a pair of blue eyes. He was of medium complexion, broad shouldered and tall. His presence al- ways put his companions at ease. The well- tailored uniform of the young man showed that he was a captain of the Imperial Air Force. The captain had a habit of rubbing his knuckles whenever he was exasperated. “Any developments at the War Office?” asked the baron carelessly. “Same as usual”, replied Captain Laurel. “The Austrians regained Jonanburg while our troops rapidly retreated with loss of men and artillery.” There was a secret gleam in his eyes as he reported the encounter. “Oh, well!” said the baron as the smoke was issuing from his mouth at every syllable, “how about a glass of whiskey?” “Well, baron, I suppose it would help.” While the glasses were raised, a well-dressed elderly man strutted into the room. The cap- tain saw him through the bottom of his whis- key glass. The man was about fifty years of age, intelligent looking and truly conservative. His pure white hair contrasted well with his black dress suit. The features showed that he had done a great deal of studying, but brought out nothing more. Captain Laurel greeted him with a “good evening, professor”. The baron recognized him with a seeking glance and a nod. Professor Milinski returned their salu- tions by saying: “I have three tickets for the latest play if you would care to accompany me”. The captain consented, adding: “We can all ride in my car. I told my chauffeur to call for me”. In turn the baron said: “It suits me, but we’ll take a cab for a change”. “In that case I had better tell my chauffeur not to call for me”, explained the captain. So saying he walked to the phone and asked for his home number. The baron and the professor quickly whispered to each other and listened to the captain's conversation. “Hello, that you Roily? Professor Milinski, the baron and I are going to see the latest play tonight — we are going by cab so you don’t have to call for me. You can just fix things up. Yes, bye”. Laurel hung up, turned around and exclaimed: “Baron, you had better hurry and get dressed; the professor and I are ready”. The play proved to be tiresome to the cap- tain although his two companions seemed to enjoy it. After the play was over they clam- bered into the nearest cab. The professor in- structed the cabby to stop at his house. After a brief ride the cab stopped in front of a large gray house. The professor climbed out, saying goodnight. However the baron halted him by inquiring: “Professor, could you lend me fifty rubles till tomorrow”? “Cer- tainly”, replied the professor, pulling out a bill from his coat pocket. The baron took it with a “thanks” and climbed into the cab which again started with a jerk. Half way down the long and lonely street the captain said: “All right. Roily, you may stop here”. The baron exclaimed: “Say, this isn’t my house”! “You’re not the only one 236 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR who knows it. Roily, hold this bill while I search this spy for artillery ’ Upon handing the bill to his chauffeur, he quickly thrust his hand into the baron’s right hand side pocket and pulled forth a pistol. The baron was speechless during this quick action. “Well Roily, I guess that makes everything, let’s visit the police headquarters”. “But, captain, what has the bill got to do with it all”? asked Roily. “You just split that bill carefully and you’ll find out”, said Captain Laurel. Upon splitting the supposed bill carefully he saw a note filled with diagrams written on tissue paper. That was enough, he put the car in speed, stepped on the gas and was away like lightning to the headquarters. Later in the night, after a trying time at the headquarters, the captain and Roily were seated in the captain’s study. Roily was still in the dark about the fast-moving events of that evening. “How did you know there was a secret note in the bill”? inquired Roily. “At the theatre the baron took out a large roll of bills when he was buying cigarettes. When he asked the professor for fifty rubles I knew something was up. I took the liberty of pick- ing the bill from the baron’s pocket when the cab started with a jerk. I found it was really two bills carefully pasted together with an im- portant secret note between them. You know the rest of the story”. “Captain”, said Roily, “you ought to get a good promotion for your patriotism”. “Patriotism, nothing”, snarled the captain, “I wouldn’t kill a fly to save this stinking country from the crooked aristocrats”. Roily merely asked: “Why did you do it all with such enthusiasm” ? The captain started in a low voice: “It all happened ten years ago. My father was at that time the head of the secret police in Mos- cow. He held an important position among the aristocrats yet he despised them because of their tyranny toward the peasants. One day a spy brought him information that Baron Dcronovitz was a secret agent of the Bolsheviks. It was a chance for my father to convict an aristocrat. Instead of sending the spy out to get more information, he, him- self, set out to convict him. However, the baron, through one of his own spies, found out that my father had secured enough evidence to convict him. He induced his cousin, Ivan Mor- ofski, to murder my father. Ivan Morofski shot him, but he lived long enough to drag the names of the two men from his throat. The baron’s cousin, fearing the consequences, fled to Austria. The baron escaped conviction be- cause of his influential friends. I swore ven- geance upon the two men. Because of the prominent position my father held, I was pro- moted captain in the air force. “Then one night while flying over the border of Poland, I saw an Austrian plane fly- ing low into Russia. After a long chase I forced it to land in a field near the city of Moghilev. One of the two captured occupants proved to be Ivan Morofski, an Austrian spy. He was shot the next day. I had partly ful- filled my vow. I then set my efforts against Baron Doronovitz, and proved he was a spy and a traitor to his country. In a few days he will meet the fate of his cousin and I shall have revenged my father. In spite of his friend- ship toward the baron my sympathy is still with the professor who will also have to face the firing squad”. “So that’s what has been making your knuckles itchy all these years”? said Roily, in a clear and understanding voice. FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP David O'Brien, '32 The first morning cf vacation dawned bright and clear as any one who happened to get up can testify (I don’t expect many replies on that one). To get down to business, the Senior and Junior College A divisions had set aside this charming morning for a ball game and now as every player had shown up (miracles still do happen), it was decided to go through with the game. First, the management of the Seniors (ad- dress all challenges to Bertocci and Throensen, Inc., but don’t expect any reply), went about the heavy business of deciding on a lineup. The difficulty lay in the fact that nine outfield- ers had shown up, not that we couldn’t have used them later. However, the management fixed this up by allotting three innings to each set of outfielders. This difficulty settled, the game was ready to start. Batteries for the Seniors were “Bean-ball (Please turn to page 24G) SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 237 By Gordon Case. ’33 Rivers ramble, rivers sleep, Rivers flow to the ocean’s deep, Rivers ripple and rivers sigh, Rivers rush from mountains high. Rivers rage, rivers sing, Rivers grow from springs. Rivers fret and rivers fuss I find rivers just like us. .;. . . .;. A HAUNTED HOUSE By .Mildred Baxter, ’33 It stood in a lonely valley, A haunted house and old. Covered by bushes and creepers, A house that had never been sold. Its windows staring and glaring like eyes. Rattled and banged and shook, They gave a weird impression, So fearsome did they lock. It creaked and shrieked with every wind, A mournful sound it made. And it chilled one’s blood right to the bone, As back and forth it swayed. Eerie and old it stood alone, In a valley dark and drear, No other dwelling stood in sight, In the landscape far or near. And there it stands to this very day, Gloomy, dreary, and gray, So sad, and lonesome, and hopeless, And full of rank decay. KIND WORDS By Lena T. I’izzella, '33 What silences we keep year after year With those who are most near to us and dear; We live beside each other day by day, And speak of myriad things, but seldom say The full sweet word that lies within our reach Beneath the common ground of common speech. Then out of sight and out of reach they go, These dear familiar friends who loved us so, And sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone with loneliness, and sore bereft, We think with vain regret of some kind word That once we might have said and they have heard. V V V THE MISSION BELLS By Catherine Mulvay, ’33 Across the fields, the mission bells rang clearly, And called to prayer, the faithful of the town; They leave their work, both rich and poor, and meekly The prince and pauper, side by side, kneel down. .r. .j. WHY? By Barbara Young, ’33 Why are there mountains and valleys and trees? Why are there deserts and prairies and seas? Why are there houses and churches and schools? Why are there trials and troubles and rules? Why can’t I soar as a bird on the wing? Forget all my troubles and joyfully sing? Why can’t I wander, as the free gypsy bands? Over the hilltops to far distant lands? Why are there lives that are stolen by wars? Why are there fixed regulations and laws? Why is there illness to make folks unhealthy? Why is it money that makes a man wealthy? But why should I wonder and why should I think? This civilized world has grown on link by link, And the answer to “why” is just civilization The increasing progress of all our creation. The world has progressed with the passing of years, In it are moulded men’s hopes and life’s tears. Primitive customs have gone with the past, Customs, that learning has from the world cast. And civilization shall forge right ahead, Onward, and onward, new worlds to be tread! The unconquered flame that meets every test, The flame of the living that can’t be suppressed! 238 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR HAVE YOU READ THESE? By Evelyn Baton, ’32 ALTHOUGH Michel de Montaigne is given credit for originating the form and although there were many out- standing essayists in the succeeding centuries, these classic examples are probably not the best approach to the subject of essays. Be- cause essays are of such a personal nature it is well to become acquainted with those of to-day. Here we can best appreciate the auth- or’s observation; here we can best understand his allusions. In the beginning we most enjoy the essay that deals with a familiar subject, like Kath- erine Fullerton Gerould’s “Movies” or one with which we can compare notes with the author, like Samuel McChord Crother’s “Every Man’s Natural Desire to Be Somebody Else”. But whatever we start with it it will inevit- ably lead back to Lamb, Addison, Steel, Bacon, and perhaps Montaigne. My experience with “Present-day Essays”— If I were to write up a list of the things I have learned since the book of “Present-Day Essays”, I am quite sure that the list would be a lengthy one. In the first essay, ‘Fugi-No- rama”, I learned of another beautiful spot in the world which I am going to see when I get my “travel- ing ticket”. This essay taught me the beau- tiful way in which the Japanese adore the sun. We, in America, do not wholly realize the beauty of the sunrise. We would think it a great deal of trouble if we got up at four in the morning to see the sun rise. But the Jap- anese climb a mountain of over twelve thou- sand feet in height to see it! “The Game” made me realize why I don’t get so much fun out of a basket ball game as I did two years ago when I began to play. When I watched a game then I kept wondering what this or that player was going to do when he faced the basket with the ball in his hands and waited a few seconds for a clear space between the guard’s waving arms. Now I know what he’s going to do and the only feel- ing of suspense I get is whether or not he is going to make a basket. But I still can enjoy a football game because I don’t know fully what it’s all about. I found the real Mark Twain in John Macy’s essay by that name. Before reading that essay I knew only the dictionary meaning of “Sa- tire.” Now I know that a whole book can be written around an idea that has two mean- ings. “A French Village in the War Zone” was al- ways a topic of interest to me because every time people who had an active part in the war talk to me they mention the little French vil- lages. Their walled gardens which once were a source of safety to them now attract the tourist who is searching for something differ- ent. I’ve never had the experience of sleeping in a hammock all night but I can realize how much Mr. Beebe enjoyed it because I’d much rather spend all afternoon in a hammock than on any cushion-covered couch or chair. One can’t swing a chair back and forth and no matter what age a person may be he always gets a thrill out of swinging back and forth in space. I don’t fully agree with Mrs. Gerould’s state- ment in “Movies” that the movies are vulgar. It is the person’s state of mind in most cases. In the picture “Condemned” which so many people called “hateful” or “disillusioning” I found that even “Devil’s Island” can be beau- tiful if one looks for beauty there. Surely it wasn’t meant to be the ugly thing it is pic- tured when waving palms and adventurous jungle growth were put there. “Grey walls cannot a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage.” I’m really glad I read this book of essays and it makes me more proud of the school that lends its students such books. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 239 PLAYERS’ CLUB T last time we shall be heard from this year! The last issue of the Radiator to which many of us shall contribute! Graduation, you know (just like prosperity), is just around the corner. Our three one-act plays, we are glad to say, were a fine success. The casts certainly de- served all the commendation which they re- ceived. There was a great deal of hard work in the rehearsing of the plays but we also had a lot of fun and practical joking which re- lieved the monotony to say the least. Several of our Junior members are now re- hearsing for Junior Night plays. We wish them and the Junior Class good luck for a successful night. Well, “that's all there is, there isn’t any mere.” Before we leave, let us say, “Au revoir to the Juniors and Sophs, and (regretfully) farewell to the Seniors. ENTERTAIN AT HOME FOR AGED Under the direction of Mrs. Mathews, a de- lightful program was given at the Home for the Aged on April 26th. Two musical selections were played by those capable musicians, Irving Murray and William Tesson. Louise Samson, gayly dressed in green velvet pajamas, executed a difficult acrobatic dance. Another dancer, Jane Walsh, received great applause for her tapping. Readings were given by the Misses Dorothy Anderson and Marion Standish. Evelyn Paton sang two jolly solos, “Riley’s Cowshed” and for her en- core, “Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella.” Miss Katherine Carroll followed with “Now’s the Time to Fall in Love.” Miss Margaret La Clair was well applauded for “Somebody Loves You.” Then followed a harmony selection given by Louise Samson and Katherine Carroll. Alice Mello gave a lovely solo, “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” The program closed with a de- lightful harmonization of “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain,” given by the Misses Evelyn Paton and Katherine Carroll. The announcing was most capably handled by Ronald Brooks, and Rita Flannagan accom- panied the singers and dancers. LITERARY CLUB Meeting in a joint session, the affiliated Prose and Poetry Clubs, known together as the Literary Club, ended their 1931-1932 season on May 19, 1932. David O’Brien, the presi- dent of the Literary Club, presided over a pro- gram composed largely of selections from pro- grams of previous meetings of both organiza- tions. The last meeting of the Poetry Club was honored by a distinguished guest. The meet- ing, held in the auditorium on April 20, 1932, attracted a large audience. The program be- gun by original poetry, reached its climax when the guest speaker took the floor. Miss Nancy Bird Turner, well known poet, was that guest. Miss Turner captivated her audience with her gracious native charm from the very cutset, while the nature of her remarks held its interest. Miss Turner spoke of her life, her writings, and poetry in general. Her poems especially pleased. The Poetry Club is indebted to Miss Turner for its finest meeting of the year. Thus has ended another year of literary ef- fort in Somerville High School. This year, ac- companied, as it has been, by the reorganiza- tion of the clubs, has been trying. The success of the organization in its present form, how- ever, must be conceded by all. Now the work passes to new hands. Carry on, Class of 1933! 240 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Poets and writers writs many beautiful words to partings and farewells, but, gee whiz, old column, all I can say is that I hate to leave you! It’s been a lot of fun this year to receive the magazines and papers from the other schools, write up this column and an- swer letters. But even if it is good-bye I mustn’t use up all my space in saying so. Congratulations to Dorothy Coburn for the excel- lent way in which she handled the Exchange Column last month. Good work, Dot. We’ll start olf with our distinctive neighbor, the “Spectator” from the Brown and Nichols School, Cam- bridge. We experienced a certain feeling of pride and pleasure when we read in your Spring number that we were your only High School Exchange. We still think, after reading the issue with all its delight- ful stories and poems, that your Athletic Notes are the best part of your paper with the School Notes as a runner-up. We bid you farewell with the hope that next year’s editor will enjoy exchanging with you as much as this year’s did. The April issue of the Medford “Review” arrived in time for comment in this issue. We found your Liter- ary section quite delightful, and your humor gave us much amusement. Here’s an example, readers:— Teacher (in history class): “The answer to the first question may be found in your ‘Hart’ and the an- swer to the second in your ‘Constitution.’ ” Here’s a comment on our “Radiator” from the West Night High School, Cincinnati, “Voice”:— “This month we discovered a new magazine on our Exchange list, the beautifully designed “Radiator” of the Somerville High School. Embodied in a very at- tractive cover, many interesting short stories and a school news column is found. Congratulations to your staff.” I see the “Junior Pioneer” from the Henry Tard Junior High in Fall River is starting a popularity contest. We’re anxious to receive your next number, Pioneers, to see who wins out. Congratulations to the winner. The “Jamaco Journal” is a new paper to come to us. It’s from the Merrimac, Mass., High School and is very attractive. The four pages of this paper were all interesting. How do you like this for a joke column heading? “Merry-Mac-Mouthfuls.” Quite the thing, eh wot? Here are a few mouthfuls of laughs for you:— “Said one Indian to another upon seeing a white man riding a bicycle: ‘Heap lazy paleface sits down to run.’ ” “---Where on earth did all the jelly fish come from? ____: Come, come, surely you’ve heard of the ocean currents.” The “Spotlight” comes up from the High School in Cranford, New Jersey, and gives us an idea of how beautiful a silhouette picture can be. Beside this lovely picture of elves and pines is a charming poem entitled, “The Making of Spring.” Why is a retired carpenter like a lecturer? Because he’s a explainer (ex-planer.) And here are two stand-bys, the Massachusetts’ State Collegian” and the “Pine Whispers” from Winston-Salem, N. C. We note a new heading on the first page of the “Collegian.” Very attractive. Congratulations on your Humor issue, Waltham High! It was a most hilarious number. Stenographer: “Your little girl wants to kiss you over the phone.” Busy Manager: “Take the message. I’ll get it from you later.” At the theatre: “What does ‘asbestos’ mean writ- ten across the front of the curtain?” “Hush, be quiet, don’t show your ignorance; that’s the Latin word for ‘Welcome.’ ” This humor came from the “Volunteer” from the Concord, New Hampshire, High School. This is a new Exchange. Here’s another new one, the “Spizinktum” from Russelville, Ky. The graduates in that school get out May 13th. Lucky or unlucky stiffs?! Oh, my hee-eer-rr-oo!! I haven’t seen Clark Gable go by, readers, just been reading a story in the “Ga- zette” from the B. Franklin Junior High in New York. Imagine a heroine having a name like Tangerina Pom- agranate! I like tangerines and pomagranates, but I don’t fancy the name. Wonder how much more space I’ve left. Well I don’t suppose I’ll be shot if I finish this sheet. The “Jabberwach” from the Girls’ Latin School, Boston, had a delightful poem in it entitled, “Noc- tui ne.” “Minnetonka Breezes” were wafted to us in the newsy paper from the Excelsior High School in Min- nesota. We acknowledge the “Enterprise” from Roxbury; the “Gas Attack,” Somerville Post, American Legion; Holt Magazine, Holt Secondary School, Liverpool, England; “Huntington Record”, Huntington High School, Boston. From the Commerce High School, Boston, “Trades- man” comes this kindly comment:— “ ‘Captain Baines’ Christmas Gift’ was a very good story, and your departments were also good. You certainly take pride in your football team — and why not — it is good!” Well, readers, here’s my Adios. Good luck and best wishes to you all — Exchanges and readers!

The Skies Were Blue By William Tesson, '32 The skies were blue today: And I was out in the hills — away From the strain and the strife of the crowd. I was alone today: And the hills were rugged — and soft — arid gray. The skies were blue today: And I was sad — but the hills (some say) Will relieve one of sorrow — they may — For it seemed today That they did, ’though rugged — soft — and gray. The skies were blue today: And under those skies the hills will say (If you wish), “Be alone; think aloud”. Yes, I was alone today — And the hills were rugged —and soft — and gray. The skies were blue today: The blue was bright, it was rich, it was deep — and gray Were the hills that were somber, serene. I was alone today, In a life that is rugged — and soft — and gray. 242 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1932 “Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind — ” A few more days and our time has come. The time when each must take his path — the time when friends must part — the time that marks the end. It really doesn’t seem possible. It’s hard to be- lieve that in less than a month all this which has been our very life must cease. It’s hard to believe that no more will we hear Lermond Smith’s laugh — that no more will we bask in the radiance of Harriet Burk’s smile — that no more will Frank Maggliozzi run in at 8.29 — that no more will Ruth White pester Bill Tesson, much to our discomfiture, as we try to find out why X2 = A2 -f- 3, etc. A moment ago we said that this time marks the end. It doesn’t have to. The Class of ’31 had a live- wire reunion this year. We can do the same and bet- ter, because we’re the liviest-wirest classiest everest! Seriously, though, don’t let June 1G mean the end of our comradeship. Let’s keep it going. Frank Mag- gliozzi can try his particular weakness on the Harvard profs, and Lermond Smith can sell records of his laugh. As for Harriet’s smile, well, you can just bet that plenty of people will look out for that anyway! Fo’give the kernel for going sentimental, but ac- cording to Dave O’Brien that’s the state of our mass of jelly, anyway. There’s a plot afoot. It seems that several novelescript conspirators want to say something about me in my own column. O.K., Warren, this is as propitious a place as any, for your dirty work. Cheer up, Juniors and Sophomores! This is the last time you’ll have to read Murray’s woozy notes. Under the guise of Graduation; he’s going to be thrown out. I hope you bounce on every step after that slan- der you perpetrated about Mister O’Brien. (O.K. MISTER O’Brien, but Til be bouncing while you’ll be putting PEGS in blocks.) A year ago this time Murray was apologizing to the Sophs in his column. Ah! but Silent Steve (O’Brien) finds that it was about that time that Murray met a certain blonde member of the then Sophomore Class. Now, was he apologizing to the class or to this er—ah—hem ? That, ladies and gentlemen, was Dave O’Brien’s contribution, to this column. And speaking about blondes, Dave O’Brien was found unconscious in Room 105 the other night. It seems that he had been there so long that he fainted of malnutrition. Moral: Never tamper with columns, they’re liable- to go off. News Item: Bertocci struck out Mister Hosmer in- 341-151 baseball game recently. Repeat News Item: Mr. Hosmer struck out Bertocci in a trial college board recently. Met Rae Anderson up on the second floor the other- day. He’s quite a second-story man, isn’t he, Thel? Ask either Rae or Miss LeBeau and you’ll get the hidden context of this remark. Among the little snug heroes of this school is War- ren Russell. Warren works hard for this Radiator, I can tell you; and your Year Book is going to be a tribute to the triumph of his labors. Good luck, Warren! By the way, who was that brunette who- came for the “picture you promised her,” (another conspirator wiped otT the list.) Another unsung hero is Carroll Throensen. But we shall tell his deeds of bravery. At great risk to- his life — nay, at the greatest risk to his life, Mr. Throensen bravely threw his all into the maw to re- pair a map of the United States. Certainly it was a fine job of map repairing. Originally it was a relief map of these United States, “but now it’s a commer- cial map of Australia.” It only goes to show what a little patience can do. Wrap Bowdoin up and bring it home with you, Carroll! The ink is about all gone. For three years it’s served me in good stead, but now it’s fast disappear- ing. I’ve enjoyed being your scribe — and I only hope- that I’ve brought you a laugh once in a while. But all good things must end — so it’s good luck and God-speed! But not good bye — see you sometime. Yours very sincerely, Irving Murray. 1933 At last! Found! A way to get back at the Junior Class Editor for the cracks she writes about you! The Class Editor of the Junior Issue did it remarkably! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 243 I’m still blushing. Maybe it's the reflection of the •cover. To those who kick because the Class Notes don’t cover everyone in the Junior Class; How am I sup- posed to know what’s going on in Rooms 235, etc., when I’m in 311? ’XufT said! Here’s a clever formula — don’t try it. Take one algebra example that no one understands, and one slightly befuddled substitute; result, hilarity. Answer to an example: “Jane must make 95 to aver- age 80.’’ Aside, bet she didn’t! Ask a Players’ Club member what a “lisant-march ant’’ is! “Raoul etail sur les dents.” Translated it means, “Ralph was on his teeth” (.i. e.—tired out.) Did you know that the English channel is a sleeve (of the ocean) in France? “La manche.” Some geog- raphy. Teacher: “You may erase the boards if you want to. If you don’t want to I wish you would.” Miss Eastman naming the many ways of (mis) pronouncing metallurgy. What’s the difference between glyceral and gylcer- ine? “They ’re the same.” “Pure H SO is colorless, but when you people get at it — impurities get in.” “Are we impurities?” Who was it that pronounced the Roman public of- fice of aedile idle? Rather correct, huh? Pupil: “Their ruler was So-and-So.” Teacher: “No.” Pupil: “Their ruler was So-and-So.” Did you know that the names Lyons (France), Lon- don (England), and Leyden (Holland), all came from the Roman name Lugdunum? Tyr was the god of automobiles. Teacher: “What do you know about Justinian?” Pupil: He died.” Pupil (translating): “Corinth, the light of all “Greece.” Mr. Hosmer: “Yes, that’s a figurative name, just as we speak of Boston as the ‘Hub’ of the United States, and Philadelphia as the ‘City of Brotherly Love’, and New York as — well — several things.” Personals — more trouble for me! Rosamond Reisier, Senior, reading the minutes at a Players’ meeting: “The meeting disappeared at 3.30 P. M.” Teacher: “What is aqua regia?” Russell Coogan didn’t know but guessed at a trans- lation of it: “Neptune, King of the Sea.” Alicelia Hoskins aspires to oratory. I am told that it would be a treat to hear Robert Commalendo read “Love’s Philosophy,” his favorite poem. 4 4 4 Why does Mrs. ToplitT call Beatrice Hopidres “Blanche?” Why doesn’t she call her Helga? They call James Card carpenter because he’s always hammering the piano. Lucy Bruneau “Let x = the smaller number. I let it equal the larger when I started, but it came out the larger so I changed it.” Rodney Olsen, Senior, unwinding his long legs pre paratory to arising to recite — time G minutes. Bulletin notice: “Junior boys interested in football report in their gym suits at 2.30 today.” Startled voice of Albert Carlson — at Dilboy Field? Miss Cochran (checking upon algebra tests): “Miss MacDonald you seem to be two short.” Mary: “Too short!” What do you think of Junior Night as the first organized product of the Juniors? It was rather com- plimentary to the Class of 1933 — huh? Heartiest congratulations to Margret, Robert and Dennis — last but not least, Miss Jackson. The vital part of every plan, she carried the whole responsibil- ity and deserves an equal share of the praise. If only one could remember all the humor of the re- hearsals! This is but one of the many incidents:— Miss Jackson: “We’ll have to cut out that part about holding hands in the seance.” Mildred Baxter (very emphatically): “Oh, no! Don’t cut that part out!” When Junior English A wanders from the subject it’s usually Arline Merrill who is called upon for the original topic of discussion. But one day — Mrs. ToplitT: “What were we talking about, Arline?” Arline (slowly): “Well —” Mrs. ToplitT: “Oh, yes!” Did you ever wonder why the English always say “lift” instead of elevator? Well, according to the 244 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR English “lift” boy: “We can h’elevate you h'up but we can’t h’elevate you down; ’owever, we can lift you up and lift you down.” Oh, well! I’ve made many remarks about Players’ Club, but I’m afraid I’ve never mentioned the most important factor of it. Miss Ellison, one of the most “unteacher- like” teachers ever, who can be as young as the most kiddish Sophomore, and just as dignified as the most sophisticated Senior, who can even notice when a little insignificant Junior looks tired and will stoop to pick up tacks that fall out of scenery. Here’s to Miss Elli- son, the “mother” of Players’ Club, and it takes a genius to be that! Tell me, have you never met “Don.” her dog? What a pity! See if you can figure this one out: “je ne suis pas ce que je suis, car si j’etais ce que je suis, je ne serais pas ce que je suis.” (je suis is present of both etre and suivre — ketch in?) 1934 Greetings! Salutations! and What not. This is the Class of ’34 presenting their last broadcast for the year. First we wish to congratulate the Players’ Club on the splendid acting they displayed in their three one- act plays presented recently; Kertzman and Miss Ed- munds certainly proved that Sophomores are good actors as well as Juniors and Seniors. Well at last we have put the Seniors in their proper place along with the Juniors by winning the recent radio debate. Jennings, Nissenbaum, Kennedy, and Ahern are to be congratulated for the fine manner in which they defeated the Seniors. Sorry we had to do it Seniors, but it just couldn’t be helped. It is rumored that very soon Gobron will publish a book entitled “G001 Causes for Staying After School.” Mr. Gobron, we believe, is an expert on this subject. Also it is expected that very soon Mr. R—0—ny will published a collection of Mr. Gobron’s personal letters and notes which in view of recent occurrences should prove very interesting. Heard in Room 324: Teacher (at the end of a period): “Get ready class for I want you to pass out?????? Great expecta- tion.” Probably you have heard this before but it amused us the other day to learn in French the word for gal- lery in French really means chicken roost. In the same class the teacher was searching for a good trans- lation of “bravo” when someone was heard to ex- claim, “whoopee.” Clever, eh? In cur English class the other day we were discus- sing the meaning of the phrase of “dim faces” in a certain poem we were studying. After a minute or two’s thought, one of our BRILLIANT Sophs an- nounced that it simply meant dirty faces. Scanned from a discussion on Capital Punishment: H—1—n Shu—m—n: “Horse whipping in public is good because it makes a man ashamed of himself.” M—ry W—Ilia—s: “The public would object to horse whipping because it is too brutal.” In ancient history the other day we were told to pronounce Ptolemies Tolemies. The reason for this, our teacher said was because the “P” is silent as in fish. Now the question arises how do you spell fish, fish, or pfish. On a geometry paper, the other day, of one of our members was found “Alteration” as the reason for one of the steps. I’ll bet this Soph is going to be a tailor some day! Heard in a biology class:— Teacher: “What diseases do rats carry?” Class: “Bubonic plague.” Teacher: “What do dogs carry?” Weak Voice: “Fleas!” It’s easily seen that there was a fire sale cn shoes last week in Union square! Notice all the black and white ones among the Juniors and Seniors. We of Room 150 are glad to have Doris Harwood back with us again after an operation. Heard in Algebra, Room 351:— Boy: “If you switch that deuce from one side to the other, will you get the same answer?” Teacher: “Leave your poker alone and attend to your algebra! Have you noticed the girl in 150 with all holes in her shoes? (They’re sandals!) Heard in English:— Teacher: “What is the plot of a novel?” Pupil: “The piece of ground on which it was writ- ten!” Have you noticed the “cute” little neckties some of the fellows are wearing now? Really, they’re too “cute” for six-year-olds. Oh, well, probably its the spring fever which is so prevalent just now. Before we sign off we wish to thank Miss Jack- son and I English E for their numerous contribu- tions to this broadcast. Also we thank Miss London of Room 309 for their contributions. Now that all helpers have been thanked as the shadows of evening slowly gather upon ’34’s career as Sophomores the Class of 1931 signs off for the last time as little, insignificant Sophomores. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 245 THE EDITOR’S LINE ELLO, everybody, this is Kate Smith” — oops, pardon me. It’s really Bill Cunningham’s only rival — Ye Sports Ed. And as this is the last issue we (that's the editorial “we”) have decided to run one column telling how much we enjoyed our connection with the teams. During the football season your scribe en- joyed himself immensely (even though he did tear his trousers scaling the Nashua Stadium walls), until, in one game, a sweet, young dam- sel gushed confidingly, “Isn’t Gene Falco just the duckiest thing!” Boy, was the ed. angry. You know — jealous. And in the basketball issue I (the “we” is now dropped), dimly recollect remarking about Eddie Chebook being saved for a crucial mo- ment. I was wrong — they were saving him for the Junior Dance (no adv.). In track I remember Smitty (Ralph Smith) galloping around the Tufts Gym letting out a series of crazy “Joe E. Brown” yells. What a man! Now the old diamond game is on deck, and how! And wait till you hear — Jimmie Flan- nagan, the sunny, little Irish lad, has naturally so much “stuff” on the ball that when he tosses it up to hit it out of his hand, he often strikes himself. It’s a fact. Well, it seems that I have wandered a bit (in true reporter’s style) from the subject, probably to my future discomfort. In fact I’ll readily exchange a used typewriter for a serv- iceable bullet-proof vest. I may need it. THE OPENER When S. H. S. opened its baseball season on Patriots’ Day, the lid came off with a bang. Stacked up against the scrappy General Elec- tric outfit, our players came through in fine style by slipping out a one-run victory in the tenth stanza. The Lynn contingent threatened early in the fray when their star, Paige, “kissed” out a dandy triple, and scored on a sky sweeping fly. But Danny Lynch, with his uncanny control and his lightning speed balls, short circuited the electrician’s power so efficiently that only a brace of safeties were allowed during all the chapters. All of which is extremely masterful twirling. Long John Donoghue tallied for cur subur- ban institution in the eighth inning, mainly through the wildness of several tosses, but it was enough to warrant the playing of the thrilling extra “chukker.” Here Billy Chesterfield, our all-scholastic captain, drove out a sharp single, then stole second base, thus being in a scoring position. Next at bat was Dougie Macaskill, a Sophomore rookie, who cracked his bludger against the sphere for a lusty wallop which scored Chet and won the game. Dougie certainly intro- duced himself to the fans in a spectacular way. + + + BREAKING THE MEDFORD JINX Ah— revenge at last (as we dark villians are wont to mutter), but this phrase concerns this year’s termination of the traditional rivalries of the academies of Somerville and Medford. Twice had they beaten us, but maybe our base- ball squad didn’t retaliate! And to the tune of 3 to a good hollow, circular zero. With Danny Lynch firing the horsehide up the groove only two of the Medford bats met the pill for singles, and these well separated. The boy wonder certainly smoked up the ozone with his bullet deliveries. Our trio of runs came in the sixth inning. 246 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR when Landini reached the initial sack on an error and Donoghue laid down a perfect bunt, setting the scene for a rally, which the well- known Joe Davis clinched by scoring the fore- mentioned second baseman with a safety. Then Bud Buckley, with the critical “three and two” count on him, settled the contest by smashing out a terrific drive to score a brace of counters. That is what’s called “coming three for old S. H. S.” Billy Chesterfield’s playing was flashy, in- deed, in both the garden and at the plate. His first bit was a healthy triple, although he was subsequently retired for being too ambitious. He also made (over) one of the prettiest run- ning catches of many seasons in deep left cen- tre. All in all ’twas quite a game. 4 ST. CLEMENTS, NO SET-UP On April 29, for four innings nine of our athletic classmates were in trouble and wor- ried. Then they snapped out of it, and aided by many enemy errors, they scored ten coun- ters to finally overthrow the would-be usurpers, St. Clement’s. Billy Bolster bolstered up our attack mag- nificently with his inspirational relief pitch- ing. Bolster uses his head as his hands in his work, and here he was unbeatable. Another contribution to the victory was his lining out two hits. Another lad who performed with surprising zeal and finish was Eddie Ash. Eddie had just been promoted the day before and he cer- tainly made good with the varsity. Small in stature, he was a giant at bat. Wielding the willow he collected a single, a double, and a triple. And to that we say “Well done, my boy, well done”. So that’s the story of our fourth victory. Here’s hoping the winning streak becomes per- manent. FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP (Continued from page 236) Bertocci and Smith, J.; for the Juniors, “Vin- ny” Bertocci (almost as bad as his brother), and that nice, quiet, peaceable, young gentle- man, Mr. Coogan. Subsequently Mr. Coogan argued three different umpires out of their de- cisions; he must be good. Now for the big surprise, our own sedate Mr. Hosmer, playing first base for the Juniors, was the first batsman and was Bertocci red when his first pitch was hit for a clean single? And did he get redder as the same batsman later got three more hits? Boy, what we learned about how to play first base that day, even after a layoff of many years, was plenty. All the honors of the day went to Mr. Hosmer. Well, we staggered along for nine innings, with slight interruptions by Coogan and the Seniors were losing 8—4. At this point “Dizzy”' Van Ummersen went in to pitch and was hit for a three-run rally which went all for naught. Nevertheless our management has since managed to dig up nine different points on which we beat the Juniors even though we lost the games. Pretty good, eh? But the Juniors- for some reason or other won’t accept this idea. Poor boys, they’ll learn some day that the Seniors can never be beat. Well a good time was had by all except Murray who didn’t show up. Irving, my dear classmates, was home thinking up “wise cracks” about his trusting brethren and at the same time pro- viding an interesting week for, well, he says, it was his cousin, but I’ve heard that before. And now that you’ve floundered through this mess which probably half of you (conservative estimate), do not understand, breathe a sigh of relief, dear people, breathe a sigh of relief, for the handiwork of this noble editor is never again to grace the pages of the “Radiator.” So farewell with a couple of sniffs. Horace: “Who gave you that black eye?” Neville: “The fireless cooker.” Horace: “Impossible!” Neville: “That’s what I thought until I tried to fire her this morning.” Mrs. Banks: “Just fancy, William! It says in this paper that one woman, in looking after another woman to see what she had on, fell out of a window.” Mr. Banks: “Well, that only goes to show that women, in trying to follow the fashions, can go too far.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 247 Humor- igfc it i 1,7 7 «Lti, u.i Soph: “Dad, you’re a lucky man.” Dad: “How is that?” Soph: “You won’t have to buy me any school books this year. I’m taking all of last year’s work over again.” “Ah, the pause that refreshes!” said the English teacher when she saw the comma in the Soph’s theme. “You say the thief was very accommoda- ting?” “Yes, he took all the money out of the regis- ter and rang up ‘No Sale’. ” Neighbor: “You naughty boy. I bet you don’t get any ‘A’ grades in anything at school.” Willie: “I do too, I get it in a milk bottle.” Of course you’ve heard the discarded bath- ing suit song “Jantzen With Tears in My Side.” “Tough luck,” said the egg in the monastery. “Out of the frying pan into the friar.” Heard the nausea song? “Mean Tummy.” “That orchestra has get everything, hasn’t it?” “Everything but a crooner.” “What do you mean?” “I just tended to that.” Criss: “He who dances must pay the fiddler.” Cross: “I don’t object to that, but hate like the deuce to pay the saxophone player.” Officer roars: “What’s funny about that?” Cadet smiles: “You look so comical.” Officer roars: “Why, you insubordinate son Cadet smiles: “Of the brigadier general.” “Was Daniel Boone very popular?” “Well, he was a good scout.” “Hoot, Sandy, I ken there’s a man under the bed.” “Dinna disturrrb him, and in the morn in’ we’ll charge him for lodgin’.” Father: “Yes, my boy, I’m a self-made man.” Son: “Gee, Pop, that’s what I admire about you! You always take the blame for every- thing.” Oswald thinks a scholarship is a floating university. “Mamma, why can’t I wear a slave necklace so I won’t have to wash my neck?” Professor One: “Are you writing another class book so soon?” Professor Two: “Yes. You see, the taxes are due this month.” “How did Sandy ever fall out of that plane?” “Oh, his hat blew off and he jumped out to catch it.” “Just last week I bought a harmonica, and now I can play harmony.” “S’nothing — three years ago I bought a violin, and now I play vilely.” “I want you men to throw yourselves into your work,” said the new fire chief as they dashed madly to the scene of the fire. She used so much make-up he called her his powdered sugar. First Boa Constrictor: “Whadja swallow that dog for? Didn’t yah just have a rabbit?” Second: “Yah, but I felt like a chaser.” 248 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Teacher: “Are you sure you understand?” Pupil: “No.” Teacher: “Well, watch the board and I’ll run through it again.” He was showing his friend over his newly- acquired residence. In the drawing room the walls were covered with the paintings in beau- tiful gilded frames. “That is one of my ancestors,” he said, stop- ping before a picture of a knight in armor. “Yes,” replied his friend, “he was very nearly one of mine, but I didn’t think it was worth the price the antique dealer asked for it!” GLOUCESTERMEN (Continued frcni page 232) that when I say we were traveling I mean traveling, but Cap’ll Bobby didn’t say a word. He just jumped for the wheel, shoved it hard astarboard and pushed her nose into the wind, spilled the sails and glided by Black Bass rock and into the inner harbor with about a yard to spare and maybe the rest of us didn’t heave a sigh of relief. We tacked into the side of the fish pier with the whole lot of us a bit white about the gills, and who do you suppose was standing there on the dock? No one else but Mary Frost and what a dressin’ down she gave Cap’n Bobby’s weddin’ and they sure were that she was as proud of him as she could possibly be. I guess that’s about all there is to the story of Cap’n Bobby and the Westwind except that the Ellen May and the Mabel T. Forest came in the next day just in time for Capt’n Bobby’s weddin’ and they sure were mighty surprised to find Cap’n Bobby back in Gloucester and not on the Overdue List, but they were mighty sporting about it and ac- knowledged the Westwind the better boat. I’ve taken many a cruise to the Banks with Cap’n Bobby but none of ’em can compare to that one, and then you have the nerve to talk of Jed Har- per as a sail carrier.” This last shot was di- rected at Jim Bruce. As the meeting broke up and I was on my way down to the pier from the Crow’s Nest I hap- pened to look out across the harbor and I saw the Westwind come in between the Twins but not as she used to for Cap’n Bobby was sailing under orders from his first in command and they stated specifically that there was to be no sail carrying and he was obeying them to the letter. � • «• 'i PRIVATE TUTOR MARIETTA L SAMPLE 124 PROFESSORS ROW TUFTS COLLEGE Somerset G790-J «•� � • 'i‘ Useful Gifts ....

SPRAGUE Faculty Treasurer WARREN C. RUSSELL Editor RAE D. ANDERSON Business Manager EDITORIAL Young men and women, with diplomas under their arms vouching for the fail- amount of knowledge they have acquired, take the first step in moulding their careers. After a swift glance through this book, one can easily predict who will continue to lead, who will always be merry and carefree, what brows will be creased by deep thought and worry and who will hold up the tail end of this large group. To say we should have had a better class would be unreasonable, for what an un- interesting world it would be if all were clever. No, we need our fun-seekers, our slow folks — in acts or thoughts, and our ambitious mortals. There must be others to help and even more brilliant people for us to ask help of. Then let’s not look through this volume some years from now and frown upon the lazy, studious or mischievous ones; instead, why not agree that we’re all products of our environments and that we have different ways of measuring worth and success? May I take this opportunity to thank our advisors and all other thoughtful people who helped in any way to compile this, the final record of our High School career. To each and every Senior I offer this “book of friends” and may all school-day mis- understandings or failures fade out. When the time for your final trip down the hill comes, carry this book under your arm and may you know that we are wishing you not only a successful life but one of happiness. Warren C. Russell, Editor. Eleven RADIATOR STAFF THE RADIATOR The Radiator Staff for 1931-1932 has ever kept in mind its three-fold aim during the preparation of its eight issues. That aim was to offer opportunities for gaining experience in business, sales or journalistic lines, though it be on a small scale; to have the paper as representative of the student work of the school as possible; and most of all to offer its subscribers a readable paper. How well they have done these things is suggested in the many comments on our Radiator in other school paper exchange columns. Our stories, poems, library notes and humor-ettes have received many compliments and a few helpful criticisms. The Radiator was well rated in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest this year, being among those receiving second place ratings. It was also my very great pleasure to represent the Radiator at the Convention at Columbia University in March, last. After talking over problems with the numerous other school editors and hearing people who know about newspaper work speak, I returned with many remedies and new ideas. I do not feel that these many helpful suggestions will be lost, since time did not permit me to try them all, for I know that next year’s staff can combine them with any they may have and thereby improve the Radiator. May your coming Senior year be one of untold success, Juniors! Warren C. Russell, Editor. Twelve JUNIOR RADIATOR The editing of the April issue of the Radiator was assigned to a staff of Juniors, selected by the members of the regular staff. These Juniors, with the fine co-opera- tion and assistance of the faculty advisors, the sincere work of classmates, plus the helpful suggestions from the regular staff turned out a most successful number. The various editors were very much interested in their work and were ever alert for a new idea for our issue. That’s why all the material was Junior work with the exception of one article by a Senior, which we all liked so much that we wanted to show our good taste by printing it. The Junior staff feels that the work put into editing their issue will prove exceed- ingly valuable to them next year when some of their members will have to step forward to fill the vacancies left by the graduating members of the regular staff. We are eagerly waiting for our Senior year, at which time we shall have the bur- den of keeping the Radiator standards just a little higher than previous years, for we feel that we shall find different methods and ideas which will, we hope, improve the paper. Ruth Alice Carter, Editor. Thirteen STAFF ARTISTS In the Somerville High School it has been the custom to have four Staff Artists whose work it is to draw illustrations of stories, cartoons, headings, and cover designs. Years ago very little attention was paid to the artistic part of a magazine. Very few stories were illustrated and their covers were not designed. Today people expect to see pictures illustrating the stories they read. We are only doing what other mag- azines are doing and that is to illustrate our stories, thereby making our book more interesting. This gives the pupils opportunity to display their talent. We usually illustrate at least one story each month. In our particular magazine, we have always had many cartoons, that represent views and ideas on various subjects connected with the school, and unless they are properly and clearly drawn, the point is missed. Some subjects used for cartoons are funny sayings in the class room, athletics, Seniors, teachers, gym, and lunch room. Car- toons also help to improve our magazine because their subjects deal with everything around us. The cover designs are a big feature of the Radiator. We do not follow the idea of most magazines in this respect, instead we earnestly try to have a different cover each month, representing the season, a holiday, or important event of that month. Much time and careful work is devoted to these covers. The Staff Artists also make headings for the various columns such as editorial, poetry, library, school news, exchanges, class notes, alumni notes, athletics and humor- ettes.

At last we have taken our places among the honored. September 10 We have taken our places among the honored, but we are sorry to say we aren’t “of them.” They call us a name pronounced with dis- dain, SOPHOMORES. October 9 We have been lost for a month in this vast building, but we are grad- ually getting our bearings. A sweet and friendly organization known as the Traffic Squad has been most help- ful in this respect. October 20 We have discovered where the voice that makes even the mighty bow down comes from, an affable gentleman known as Mr. Pearson. We’ll soon have all the secrets dis- covered. November 6. A mass meeting was held today and we were overwhelmed by the number of pupils in our fair school. January 9 We were informed today that we shall now be allowed to have Class Officers. February 19 We turned out in large numbers to see the Senior play and were duly impressed. February 19 Our election was held to- day and we now have as officers Rob- ert Hayes and Company. March 12 Our officers made speeches full of enthusiasm and zeal, and we are now an organized class. March 19 The National Honor Society Installation was solemnly witnessed by us today, and we firmly resolve to try for membership in the coming two years. May 15 The Orchestra Concert was greatly enjoyed by us tonight. May 16 The Sophomore Dance! What if it was in the afternoon, the Juniors and Seniors will have to work hard to come up to it financially and socially. May 29 We have impressive Memorial Day exercises. June 10 Class Day. We certainly are proud to wear our color, true blue. June 14 Many of our number were fea- tured in the Tercentenary Pageant today. June 19. Our last report cards for the year. June 20. Summer vacation begins. JUNIOR YEAR 1930 - 1931 September 9 This year we enter the doors of Somerville High School with heads held high and a firm step. Are we not Juniors? September 10 How small those Sopho- mores look and are they not the most bothersome creatures? October 1 At our first Assembly today we are reminded of our duties for the year, and we make high resolves to perform them. November 7 Today we re-elected our of- ficers of last year. December 23 We depart for our Christ- mas vacation, anxious to see what Santa will bring. (Of course we know there is no Santa, but one must pre- tend for the Sophomores.) January 23 At an assembly today, Mr. Avery reminded us of the coming National Honor Society election. How desirous we all are of becoming mem- bers. February 19 We witnessed a very fine play tonight, “Nothing But the Truth,” successfully put on by the Senior Class. Sixteen CLASS CALENDAR — Continued March 29 The election of a Junior Night Committee assures us that our so- cial program is under way. May 14 A fine orchestra concert was en- joyed tonight. May 22 Junior Night. What a glorious time! Entertainment, refreshments, dancing; everything desirable. June 24 Once again vacation time has arrived. SENIOR YEAR 1931 - 1932 September 10 Proudly we set forth on the last lap of our school career. We are Seniors. September 12 The Sophomores are well in hand and the Juniors properly re- spectful. Looks like a very promis- ing year. October 28 Our officers of the previous two years are once again chosen: Robert Hayes, Jean Stackpole, Phyllis Atkinson and Irving Isinger. December 10 Our first class meeting of the year, and we all pledged to make our class outstanding. December 17 The Senior Play Committee is elected, and much excitement pre- vails during the choosing of the cast. January 22 A very successful dance was run tonight by the Student Council for the benefit of the Athletic Asso- ciation. That’s what we call Co-oper- ation. March 17 We watched with admiration the installation of chosen members of our class into the National Honor Society. May they ever live up to this high honor. April 1 The Senior Play proved to be a decided success under the capable supervision of Miss Sutherland and the committee. The cast of “The Mil- lionaire” will long be remembered by us. April 15 An exceptionally good piece of work was done by the orchestra to- night in their annual concert. A most enjoyable evening. April 21 The Sophomores redeem them- selves by offering a very pleasant af- ternoon at their dance. April 28 Three delightful plays were pre- sented tonight by the talented mem- bers of the Players’ Club. April 29 School closes for our last vaca- tion. Many members of the class are looking forward to spending this week in Washington. May 12 We elected today our Class Day, Senior Night and Class Gift Commit- tees. May 20 We all had a fine time at Junior Night. We Seniors, of course, formed a distinguished part of the audience. June 8 Class Day. How much this day means to us this year. June 8 Senior Night. Our last assem- blage, socially, before graduation, but what a grand evening it was. June 16 Graduation! Our school days are over! We are at the cross roads. Wherever your road may lead, good luck, and may we meet again. Seventeen CLASS ORATION A GREAT NEED By ARTHUR MARTIN, JR. The human body by chemical analysis is valued at less than a dollar, but character, man’s spir- itual body, is beyond price. Character is an abstract thing, yet it is the cornerstone on which our whole material structure rests. The World War devastated the physical aspect of Europe, and at the same time shattered the morals of the world. Youth, hurled into a sea of uncertainty and tossed about on waves of scepticism, has been like an animal in the water groping for something solid on which to cling. In spite of harsh condemning criticism, youth has been, and is now, gradually pull- ing itself from the water. From somewhere is coming the power to carry on. This source of strength is character, noble character; which is the greatest need of our nation in this era of de- spondency and lawlessness. It has no price attached, so may be had by rich or poor; it is not a reward for athletic ability, so it is not won by physical strength. A fine character may be de- veloped by almost any person, but in this development there is one important factor; the mind must exercise sufficient control to resist all wrong, and to stand by the right, for a good character is the result of personal exertion only. By forcing the body to do the will of the mind, there will, some day, be a generation of Americans that will flinch before nothing life holds. Because every person wishes to build up his character let us for a few minutes examine the process by which others are lifting themselves to greater heights. When the chemist wants to make a new substance he figures out just what may be the pos- sible components; then he arranges, and puts them together. If they do not combine readily, he adds a catalyst, a uniting force, to aid in making the combination. In building character, the same is true, only the elements are the virtues, and the uniting agent that welds them together is self- control; making character the “product of a perfectly educated will.” In the words of Mark Hop- kins, “Man can bear strength of character only as he is capable of controlling his faculties; of choos- ing a rational end; and in its pursuit, of holding fast to his integrity against all the mighty, ex- ternal nature.” Perhaps the direct result of self-control is what may be called mental stamina, the ability to set out on a task and to stick to it until the work is finished. Nature, before she is conquered, demands that a man be persistent and stubborn to gain what he desires. Mountains of troubles, disappoint- ments and failures are heaped upon him continually, and success depends on his determination to climb over them. “Our character is our will, for what we will we are.” Marshal Foch said, “Vic- tory equals will.” Doesn’t it? There is an interesting story in the life of Foch. An officer came to him and said, “Sir, the enemy has surrounded us on three sides, and the line is weakening.” Foch snapped back, “An excellent situation! You will advance.” The men did advance and further- more won the day. This year for the young people leaving school is to be a long battle, with the forces of unemployment and discouragement on three sides, leaving nothing to do but advance. Never before have conditions been such that sheer determination has been so necessary; will power, injected into hearts, minds, and backbones, resulting in something the world must see. An important factor in gaining this strength of mind is a good education, and those who are this week completing their formal preparation for life careers should remember that this prepara- tion has come mainly as a result of continued sacrifice by fond and hopeful parents. Often parents have gone in shabby dress in order that their children might have a better appearance, and have given up little pleasures, that they might enjoy the social life of their school. Regardless of how great or small the sacrifice, along with years of unlimited guidance, does it not deserve boundless love in return ? Now these students possess what the state considers an adequate education with which to face life. Unfortunately, an education does not make a gentleman out of a ruffian. To learn the lessons of books is but one reason for being in school. The very fact that students have been in constant con- tact with one another helps or hinders their progress. This suggests the addition of the next ele- ment in character — courtesy. Two thousand years ago was uttered a command which, if obeyed, would have made this a much better world in which to live. Think of it, a simple sentence that can still revolutionize the entire world! “Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.” All pupils have impressed upon their minds that others have certain rights, and the strength of this impression is an important part of character. There are not many things prized above friendship, yet how may friends be won, except through courteous acts? This con- Eighteen stant consideration of others, called courtesy, may lead to something greater, even to that divine im- pulse which makes a man lose his own life, to save another’s. There are now in this compound of character the elements of determination, filial love, and cour- tesy, three traits by which every person is judged, but there are still essentials left, so once again, by the aid of educated will, another substance is added to the crucible of characters. Trustworthiness — how much that word stands for! Business is stable just so long as it is honest. Modem business and advanced civilization could not exist without a feeling of mutual confidence. If it were not so, imagine the chaos. There could be no banks. There could be no paper money, and all exchanges would have to be in cash. When people begin to carry large sums of money, the lower stratum of men begin to rob. Robbing would lead to plundering; then nothing would be safe; looting would mean that mob rule would become common, and then life would lose its sacredness. This country is today on the very brink of such conditions, and the outcome will be determined by individual char- acter, the greatest hope of society. Hand in hand with trustworthiness goes fidelity, fidelity to those who love and trust us; fidel- ity to self and personal ideals. Students leaving school are fired with hopes and aspiration for the future, and fidelity to those ideals will mean their realization; loss of them, failure. Is not patriotism, or fidelity to the ideals of our country a part of good character? This nation has for its ideals good citizenship, good education, solid government, and happy, contented people. When economic and civil affairs are turned upside down is when patriotism really shows. Organiza- tions in this country which pledge themselves to uphold the government have an enrollment of at least three millions, yet the anti-government groups number even more. All about are radicals, crying against every form of government; if their cries are heeded, all will be lost. On every hand, people with ideals differing from ours are smashing the law, kidnapping, and murdering our . people. This is what youth must face. It is the young people who must contend with these fiends. Are red- blooded Americans going to sit back and let such horrible affairs continue? There must be produc- tive action, and rigid enforcement of law, better still obedience of law. The laws of a nation are like the girders of a building; they hold it together. If the roof is to stand, the girders must be strong. When rats destroy the structure of a building they are killed, yet the framework of our nation is being undermined, and respectable citizens seem unable to cope with the invaders. Per- sonal opinions must not interfere with national safety. Regardless of one’s own feelings, while a law is a law, it must be obeyed. Laws there must be, and laws must be obeyed, if there is to be any peace and happiness. A German officer during the last war said, “I do not fear the American army; I do not fear the American navy, but I do fear the spirit of the great American people when they are once aroused.” Now, is when the American people should be aroused; right now is the time that there is a great need to fight crime. It may seem that now every substance is in the compound, but thero must be no omissions. Is any element necessary for character still lacking? Yes, that element which makes all the difference between a strong character and a sublime character. Fundamentally, man hungers and thirsts after righteousness and truth. The youth of today ques- tions everything of the past, and because of this the older generation says he has no reverence, no religion. This is not true. He is thinking more deeply and sanely than ever before on serious questions. The outward signs may be lacking, but inwardly, he hears the voice of God; he sees his own imperfections in the light of the perfect; he loses his self-conceit; he sets a higher and nobler goal for himself; he finds his place of labor, and of rest, and life, which has seemed trivial and insignificant, begins to assume poise, dignity, and grandeur. “A simple trust in God is the most essential ingredient in moral sublimity of character.” Fellow Classmates: If we give our best to the world, the best that the world has will be given back to us. Do we possess those traits of character which will enable us to give our utmost to the world, and which will help us in our small way to meet this great need of the land? Have we a do-or-die spirit? Are we always patient with others? Is our word as good as our bond? Are we true to those we call friends, to our ideals, and to our country? Above all, have we reverence? In other words, have we been educating our will as well as our mind? Since the need of an educated will cannot be over- estimated, and since no one of us can answer, yes, to all these questions, let each member of our class take for his motto, “Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law.” Nineteen CLASS POEM By Annette Jervis “VERS LA VIE” At the Fine Arts Museum of Brussels is a bronze statue of three youthful figures stepping forward vigorously, hand in hand. Their atti- tude is one of eager confidence as they start out “toward life.” The statue is called “Vers la Vie.” “Vers la vie!” Toward life Go the three, hand in hand. Stepping forth, heads held high, Eyes intent on a splendid goal. Here in bronze the artist caught The spirit of eternal youth Confidently, eagerly Setting out — vers la vie. Toward life. Onward toward all the good That consecrated effort can achieve, Upward toward what ideals Aspiration can conceive, Gallantly march The throngs of youth. Throughout the ages it is they Who scale new heights and pave new ways. Honorable Progress is their sacred trust: To advance world-wide co-operation, To answer the challenge of their own ideals, To further causes just and noble, To sense the glory in a worthwhile pur- pose. Steadfast they raise their glorious standard: Faith — a confidence in God and goodness, Hope — a confidence in self and destiny. Love — a faith in others of their fellow- men. Now vers la vie! Toward life! It is we Who claim to-day; it belongs to us, The immediate to-morrow is ours. This moment in time is ours to mold. For this moment we are the history-makers, The workers, the present influence. Here is our responsibility! Here, our call to service! Vers la vie! Toward life Now WE are stepping forth With heads held high and Eyes intent on a splendid goal — God help us to achieve! CLASS ODE Words and Music By William A. Tesson SHALL WE FORGET? Shall we forget, in golden, mellowed years, Experiences of joy and mayhap tears; That there were days we laughed away our fears ? Shall we forget? Shall we forget? Shall we forget that things do sometimes seem What they are not? and howsoe'er we scheme, Each one must blunder if he sails Life’s stream? Shall we forget? Shall we forget? Shall we forget that youth must have its fling? Shall we forget that youth must laugh and sing? Shall we forget we each have done some thing We would forget? Shall we forget? Shall we forget that Life is, too, a school Training for Life Eternal — and the rule Should golden be lest we should play the fool? Shall we forget? Shall we forget? Twenty CLASS WILL 1932 We, the Class of 1932 of the Senior High School of Somerville, in the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this one last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and testaments by us, if any time heretofore made. To the Class of 1933, we bequeath this magnificent building and the long-suffering faculty, with the hope that they won’t create any more havoc with both than we did. To future National Honor Society Presidents, we bequeath the power to get a special period set aside for meeting purposes. To future patronizers of our Cafeteria we leave all the bottles and other ware which we have found unbreakable. To Class Editors of the years to come we bequeath the sum of $000,000 for a few magic typewriters that will write a whole set of excellent notes, thereby giving the most honorable editors more time to figure out the why of this and the which of that. To those who have classes or study periods near the music room, ear mufflers to relieve the agony of listening to the—er—beautiful strains of melody which issue forth from the aforementioned music room. To those who weary from trudging the corridors from the East to West buildings, roller skates (which they must provide themselves) to relieve their sufferings; and to those who sigh heavily before attempting the long walk up the stairs from the lunch- room to the drawing-room (this article is especially for heavy eaters), the idea of in- stalling elevators to rob them of their sighs. To the orchestra, continued success at the annual concerts. To the budding chemists of this worthy institution, we bequeath laboratories with chemicals which we hope will not make the majority of the students pass out. To the Rip Van Winkles who find school a pleasanter place to sleep in than home, a rest-room bountifully supplied with cushion-covered lounges and deep, soft reclining- chairs. To these all-too-plentiful sleepyheads we also bequeath a system of velvet-toned bells which will not startle these honorable personages out of their honorable wits. And to show that the “deceased” have no hard feeling toward the lower classmen, we leave in their possession a motion picture film of the favorite guestures of the mem- bers of our distinguished faculty. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal and declare this to be our last will and testament in the presence of the undersigned witnesses this twentieth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two.

The Class Day Committee comprising Warren Russell, Chairman, Marguerite Her- man and Franklin Lane had charge of this celebration. The committee endeavored to arrange for a most attractive program which included the planting of the traditional Ivy. The day was indeed a success. In charge of Senior Night were David O’Brien, Chairman, Joseph Panza and Ar- thur Duffy. Every Senior can testify that this group turned out a very excellent ban- quet. The entertainment and dance which followed were of high order. It has always been the practice of each class to offer a gift to the school before leaving. Margaret Brennan, Chairman, Claire Ramsey and Kenneth Hood made up the committee in charge of selecting the most suitable gift presented on Class Day to the school. The members of the committee wish to express their thanks for their chance to serve and to thank the student body for its cooperation. Ninety-nine SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 1929, the Class of 1932 began its noteworthy career. The largest class ever to enter the school, we determined to have quality as well as quantity. To lead us on our way as a class, we chose Robert Hayes, President; Jean Stackpole, Vice- President; Phyllis Atkinson, Secretary, and Irving Isinger, Treasurer. During the year representatives of our class were outstanding in scholarship, in athletics, and in the various school activities and organizations. On January 13, a Sophomore entertainment was given and a new form of class talent was displayed. Our Sophomore Dance was a fitting close for our successful first year. In September, 1930, as Juniors we began our second year, still full of determina- tion. Our officers of the previous year were once again elected. Still retaining our high ranking of last year, we sought to bring new laurels to our class and did so. Toward the latter part of the year about forty-one of our class were admitted to the National Honor Society, as proof of their high standing. Our Junior Night Committee, Rosamond Rieser, John Elliott, and Phyllis Down, proved their efficiency in the splendid entertainment and dance enjoyed by us on May 22nd. On September 10, 1932, we began our last year of High School. With dignity and seriousness we carried on our school work in anticipation of the pleasant times to be enjoyed by us in this, our graduating year. Our officers of the previous two years were once again elected. In March, forty-six members of our class were elected to the National Honor So- ciety, a much-desired honor. On April 1st, the Senior Class, through the Senior Play Committee — Janet Can- non, Harold Michelson, and Phyllis Down — and under the efficient supervision of Miss Sutherland, presented “The Millionaire.” A fine performance. Class Day and Senior Night passed all too quickly, for the realization of what we were losing was now very evident. Then Graduation — the goal of our school life reached! Somerville High School has been the most important feature in our lives for the past three years. It has given us much. We sincerely thank our teachers, our princi- pal, for their unceasing work in preparing us to go forth into the world. May our grat- itude be expressed in our future attainments. Phyllis Atkinson, Secretary. One hundred One hundred one JOHN RONAN President MARION STRONG Vice-President FRANCES HAYES Secretary JOHN SPARKS Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS One hundred two UNIOR History After a pleasant Sophomore year, we returned to school, confident that we had risen a great deal in the estimation of the school in general. As indicative of our sud- den rise, Mr. Avery naturally put us up on the third floor. At the beginning of the year an assembly was held and the importance of scholar- ship stressed so much that we resolved to surpass the records of previous classes in this respect. Accordingly, a large number of Junior names have appeared on the credit list for the year, and the National Honor Society has elected some of them to member- ship. It was necessary at this time to choose our officers, and the class honored the fol- lowing by electing them to positions of leadership: John Ronan, President; Marion Strong, Vice-President; Frances Hayes, Secretary; John Sparks, Treasurer. Our desire for an enviable scholastic record did not prevent us from contributing to school athletics, our outstanding members being Nickolas Androski, Frank Buckley, Herbert Murphy and John Rogan. The class itself was most loyal in its support of our school teams. In planning events for the year, it was decided that a committee should be elected to take charge of Junior Night, the most important of Junior Class functions. This com- mittee consisted of Dennis Dempsey, Chairman, assisted by Margaret Kenney and Rob- bert Miller. These people began work immediately, and the class looked forward to that eventful day. It came. The Juniors turned out in full force to attend a function which will long be remembered as one of the finest and most entertaining events in our High School careers. We gave the school an idea of what the Radiator is going to be like next year when our class took charge of the Junior issue. This issue, wholly under the manage- ment of Juniors, aroused the enthusiasm of the student body, and even one or two Seniors were heard praising it. June came almost too soon, and before we knew it the Seniors had graduated, leav- ing us to lead the way. “The old order changeth, giving place to new.” We are now Seniors. Frances Hayes, Secretary. One hundred three JUNIOR NIGHT COMMITTEE JUNIOR NIGHT On May 20th, the Class of 1933 celebrated Junior Night under the able direction of their chosen committee: Dennis Dempsey, Margaret Kenney and Robert Miller. The entertainment began in the assembly Hall at eight o’clock with music by an instrumental trio consisting of Mary Puopolo, Louise Ware and Irving Humphrey. This was followed by a one-act farce called “A Mad Breakfast” in which parts were taken by Emma Hodder, Beatrice Lapidus, Henry Guerke, Frances Hayes, Mildred Baxter, Ruth Carter, Alice Haskell, Martin Camacho, Alfred Pepler and Laurence Parr. The program closed with a vaudeville skit which consisted of music, dances and conversation that touched at times upon certain well-known people in the audience. In the cast were Elsa Hillberg, Isabelle Poleon, Alexander Morrison, Catherine Dwyer, Lucy Bruneau, John Howard, William Dolben and William Gaudet. Special numbers were given, singly or in groups, by Dora Mouland, Jennie Usewitch, Irving Humphrey, Dorothy Buckley, Lena Pizzella, Dorothy Hershkovitz, Isabel Forsyth, Irene Kane. Edward Copithorne, Dorothy Silver, Catherine McCarthy, Edward Berberian, Margaret Le Clair, Jane Walsh, and Mary Macdonald. Following the directions of the closing chorus, the audience adjourned to the gym- nasium for dancing to the music of Karl Ernst’s orchestra. Refreshments were served during intermission. Matrons and patrons were Mr. and Mrs. Sears, Mr. and Mrs. Giroux, Miss Danforth, Miss Flora Gordon, Miss Guarnnaccia, Mr. Buckley, Mr. Donahue and Mr. Pearson. Miss Viola Jackson directed the program; Miss Bradford was in charge of decorations; Mr. Pearson supervised the finances. Mrs. Avery, the faculty, the officers of the Senior Class and the Sophomore Executive Committee were guests. It was a source of deep regret to all that Mr. Avery's illness made it impossible for him to attend. One- hundred four JUWIUK3 One hundred five RAYMOND MARQUESS PAULINE MacFADYEN MILDRED COLE NORMAN BECKETT SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE One hundred six SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 1931, we entered Senior High School, thirteen hundred strong, to be the largest Sophomore Class in the history of the school. At our first assembly we were welcomed by Mr. Avery, and also made familiar with the activities in which we were to take part. Our representation on the maximum credit and credit lists for the first three quarters was laudable and worthy of high commendation. This year in place of Class Officers we elected, on March 29, an Executive Commit- tee consisting of Mildred Cole, Pauline MacFadyen, Raymond Marquess, and Norman Beckett. As a result of this new plan the responsibilities of piloting a class are evenly distributed. Raymond Marquess presided at the first class meeting, held on April 8, and Mil- dred Cole acted as secretary. The second meeting was conducted by Norman Beckett, and Pauline MacFadyen performed the duties of secretary. Our Sophomore athletes soon made excellent showing in sports of all kinds. The Sophomores proved their superiority in debating by defeating both the Junior and Senior teams. On April 21, the annual Sophomore Dance was held. It was both a social and finan- cial success. This was an appropriate climax to our Sophomore activities. The Executive Committee.

It is the aim of the Council to promote a closer co-operation between the student body and faculty and also to work with the students for their welfare and that of the school. The Students’ Council this year has undertaken and developed many worthwhile projects. Under its auspices a very successful dance was held for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The Red Cross Drive was carried on under its supervision as was the Lost and Found Department. Delegates from the Council attended the State Student Council Convention at Springfield High School on February 20. We have been visited by Hingham High School Student Council and also visited them, and in this way gained many new ideas of how student government is conducted in other high schools. The Council has worked earnestly this year and hopes it has carried out its aim. May the future Students’ Councils have all success. Phyllis Atkinson, Secretary, 1932. One hundred ten TRAFFIC SQUAD The Traffic Squad in previous years has made many necessary changes, due to the building of the new additions. This year, all the difficulties having been ironed out, our work started off smoothly. The year has now come to a close, and the squad has operated successfully in its endeavor to assist the school in keeping order in the corridors while the pupils are passing to their respective classes. At this time we wish to take the opportunity to thank the pupils, teachers and floor masters for their co-operation and assistance. We hope that the traffic squads of future years will carry on this work as successfully as the group of this year. Harold G. Michelson, Chief.

Due to the encouragement of the members of the faculties of American High Schools and the enthusiastic reception of the student bodies, the organization has grown rapidly until it now comprises eight hundred chapters with a membership ap- proximating thirty thousand students. In 1927 it was chartered in the Somerville High School. Membership is gained through the possession of Scholarship coupled with the fun- damental virtues of a noble Character, a desire to render Service and the qualities of Leadership. The aim of the society is set forth in the constitution as follows:— “The purpose of the organization shall be to create an enthusiasm for Scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render Service, to promote Leadership and to develop Character in the students of the American Secondary School.” One hundred thirteen TRAFFIC SQUAD One hundred fourteen BB ROOM PROCTORS RADIATOR REPRESENTATIVES One hundred fifteen LITERARY CLUB Prose Section One hundred sixteen LITERARY CLUB OFFICERS DAVID O’BRIEN, President MARY NIHAN, Secretary PROSE CLUB WILLIS CARTER, Chairman ADELE HALEY, Secretary POETRY CLUB IRVING MURRAY, Chairman RUTH FADER, Secretary Early in December the work of the Literary Club was re-opened with David O’Brien, ’32, as president, and Mary Nihan, ’32, as secretary. Its two branches, the Prose and Poetry Clubs, have held monthly meetings, having as their purpose the encouragement of original writing by the student body. They also have endeav- ored to keep their members in touch with the new literary works of importance. At their meetings original poems or prose selections have been read and special speakers such as Miss Nancy Bird Turner, a well-known children’s poet, in the Poetry Club, and Professor Post of Boston University in the Prose Club have been enjoyed. «R Oral themes giving information of practical value in addition to some of novel char- acter have been pleasing to the Prose Club as have some splendid original poems been enjoyed by the Poetry Club. Also the Poetry Club has had musical selections at each meeting, feeling that music and poetry are closely related. The members of the Liter- ary Club feel that the meetings have been worthwhile and that both profit and pleas- ure have been received. One hundred seventeen LITERARY CLUB Poetry Section One hundred eighteen WRITINGS BY MEMBERS OF THE POETRY CLUB NIGHT ON A HILLTOP Phyllis E. Down, ’32 So still it is At night upon a hill With far below the sleeping houses snuggled close together And far above the midnight sky spangled with gold stars And all about, tall, whispering trees exulting in the spring And deep within my soul, a sense of glory and of wonder, So calm it is — so still upon my hill. So close to God. MY FAVORITE Evelyn E. Paton, ’32 When the sun comes up at dawning, And lights the world anew; I see my favorite flower, Bright with sparkling dew. It rambles o’er a rustic rail, Beside a country road; And cheers each weary traveler, As he goes by with his load. It's found in every byway, Where anyone ever goes; My favorite blossom always The lovely sweet-briar rose. KIND WORDS Lena T. Pizzella, ’33 [Reprinted from the May Radiator] What silences we keep year after year With those who are most near to us and dear; We live beside each other day by day, And speak of myriad things, but seldom say The full sweet word that lies within our reach Beneath the common ground of common speech. Then out of sight and out of reach they go, These dear familiar friends who loved us so, And sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone with loneliness, and sore berefit, We think with vain regret of some kind word That once we might have said and they have heard. THE SKIES WERE BLUE William Tesson, 32 [Reprinted from the May Radiator] The skies were blue today: And I was out in the hills - - away From the strain and the strife of the crowd. I was alone today: And the hills were rugged — and soft —and gray. The skies were blue today: And I was sad — but the hills (some say) Will relieve one of sorrow — they may — For it seemed today That they did, ’though rugged — soft — and gray. The skies were blue today: And under those skies the hills will say (If you wish), “Be alone; think aloud.” Yes, I was alone today — And the hills were rugged — and soft — and gray. The skies were blue today: The blue was bright, it was rich, it was deep - - and gray Were the hills that were Somber, serene. I was alone today, In a life that is rugged — and soft — and gray. One hundred nineteen THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra, one of the oldest organizations in the school, started the nine- teenth season with a membership larger than any previous year. This group was under the successful leadership of Aaron Hershkovitz, a Senior, who served in the same capac- ity during the last half of his Junior year. Many performances were given throughout the year in co-operation with the ac- tivities of several other school organizations as well as in civic celebrations. A decided improvement in instrumental balance has been secured in this orchestra by the use of such instruments as oboes, horns, string basses and violas not commonly used in the average High School orchestra. The Orchestra gave a most successful concert this year. The program consisted of outstanding symphonic selections of a high standard which were well received by a very appreciative audience. During the last few seasons the orchestra has produced new or newly arranged numbers never before attempted. Last year the orchestra and chorus produced the new arrangement by Stoessel of the “Volga Boatman.” This year for the first time in this country the famous work “Finlandia,” by Sibelius, was introduced by a chorus with the orchestra. Isabelle Forsyth, '33. One hundred twenty B A N D The Uniformed Band of the Somerville High School, numbering approximately seventy-five members, has once again sustained the traditional success of former years. Each and every member worked most diligently under its very efficient leaders, Karl Ernst, Conductor, and Henry Giffen, Drum Major. This group was enthusiastically received at all school athletic contests as well as the Patriots’ Day and Memorial Day parades of the city of Somerville. Band concerts were also given at the three Junior High Schools in the city. Its second annual concert given in the High School was well supported and enjoyed by the student body. Karl Ernst, Conductor, ’32. One hundred twenty-one GIRLS’ ORCHESTRA This Orchestra composed exclusively of girls enjoyed a most successful year. It was with great pleasure that this group was organized for the second time. The Girls’ Orchestra, although smaller in number, was one of the most popular musical organizations in the school and was in great demand at all times. Several public appearances were made, including a luncheon of the Somerville Kiwanis Club, a Christmas party of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a meeting of the Sons of Maine. Rehearsals were held once a week, affording the pupils an opportunity for added experience in instrumental work. Barbara E. Ireland, ’33. One hundred tzventy-two BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Among the various musical organizations in the Senior High School is the Boys’ Glee Club. All boys of the school, regardless of year, who are interested in vocal music are eligible for membership. The Glee Club meets one afternoon a week from two to three o’clock, and carries one point credit toward graduation, depending upon regular attendance. The purpose of the club is two-fold: First, it affords an opportunity to become ac- quainted with the wealth of literature in the field of vocal music, thus providing a stand- ard of judgment as to what constitutes good music. Second, music is the rightful heri- tage of every boy, and song is the natural medium through which the emotions and feel- ings are expressed. The interest is aroused and heightened through the stimulation of group or ensemble work. One hundred twenty-three SENIOR - JUNIOR GIRLS GLEE CLUB Vocal music in the High School progresses naturally from the Sophomore Girls' Glee Club to the Junior-Senior Glee Club. All girls of the upper classes who have had one year experience in the Sophomore Glee Club are eligible. The Club meets one after- noon a week from two to three, and carries one point credit toward graduation depend- ing upon regular attendance. The purposes of the Club are to expand and build up the principles of music, as taught in the Sophomore Glee Club, and to broaden the musical horizon of its mem- bers. The Club aims as its goal, an increased ability to sing intelligently and with a finer musical feeling, the larger and more difficult compositions of standard, recognized com- posers. A serious study is made of A Capella work, and is held out as one of the main objectives of the club. One hundred twenty-four SOPHOMORE; GIRLS’ GLEE Of particular interest to all girls in the Senior High School desiring to know some- thing of vocal music, is the Sophomore Girls’ Glee Club. The club offers a rich and timely opportunity to every alert thinking girl who wishes to round out and complete her cultural education with a knowledge of music. Membership is open to all, and every girl is invited and urged to join the club. It meets once a week from 2 to 3 o’clock, and carries one point credit toward graduation depending on regular attendance. The purpose of the club is to inculcate a love of music and to prepare girls for the more advanced music available to them in the field of music for women’s voices as studied in the Senior-Junior Glee Club. One hundred twenty-five CAST AND COMMITTEE SENIOR PLAY On Friday evening, April 1st, in Clayton Ellis Auditorium, a large and enthusi- astic audience witnessed the annual Senior Class play. This year a three-act comedy, “The Millionaire,” was chosen and proved to be a very usable vehicle for High School production. A very attractive set, a well-chosen cast, and careful and earnest student co-operation in production and publicity contributed to the success of the performance. The cast included Elma Hutchins, Donald Foote, Mary Crotty, Arthur Martin, David O’Brien, Genieve Sinclair, Joseph Panza, Marguerite Herman, Dorothy Hallberg. The mechanics of production were intrusted to the following: Stage Manager Wil- lis Carter assisted by Walter Knowlton; Property Manager, John Elliott; Electricians. Henry Syer and Rodney Olson. Publicity was handled by Walter Mullin. Guests including Honorable J. J. Murphy and Mrs. Murphy, Superintendent E. W. Ireland and Mrs. Ireland, Mr. and Mrs. Sweet, Dr. arid Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Avery and John Ronan, president of the Junior Class, were welcomed by Robert Hayes, president of the Senior Class. The pupil committee representing the Senior Class consisted of Harold Michelson, Janet Cannon and Phyllis Down. One hundred twenty-six SENIOR PLAY SENIOR PLAY One hundred twenty-seven PLATERS’ CLUB In 1922, the Somerville High School Players’ Club was organized by Miss Bell “for the purpose of furthering interest and developing talent in all branches of dramatics.” Membership is obtained by passing successfully a series of try-outs held early in September of each year. The number of members may not exceed forty except by special vote of the club. The first meeting of every month is given over to classes, one in Stage Light- ing, one in Make-up and one in Directing. Each member may choose the class in which he wishes to work. At least one meeting a month is devoted to “reading-walkings” at which various members put on one-act plays without actually learning the parts but with rehears- ing enough to give smoothness to the performance. Each one of these is student-di- rected. After each of these performances, helpful criticism from the members is sought by the director and the cast. To bring to a climax the year’s work, three one-act plays were given publicly to a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience. As a proof that acting, lighting and make-up are not their only accomplishments, club members drew up plans for, con- structed, and painted the submarine used in one of the plays. The last meeting of the year is always a picnic at which everyone has the “best time ever,” and wishes the year were not over. One hundred twenty-eight WEBSTER DEBATING SOCIETY The 1931-32 season of the Webster Debating Society marked the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Daniel Webster. Since our society bears the name of this great statesman and orator, this anniversary was fittingly celebrated by the pre- sentation of a debate before the Senior and Junior classes in the auditorium on January 16th. The Sophomores were victorious in a Sophomore-Junior Debate held in the Music Room on January 13th. A lecture debate was held in the Knights of Columbus Hall on Tuesday evening, February 9th. The second annual radio debate was given on April 14th, at 8 P. M., over Station WLOE. The Senior team, consisting of John O’Connell, Frank Sperduto, Francis Sher- man, and James Smith, upheld the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, that the Jury System Should Be Abolished in the United States.” The Sophomore team, con- sisting of Gregg Jennings, Charles Ahern, Joseph Nissenbaum and John Kennedy, de- fended the negative. The judges awarded the decision to the negative. Officers for the first term were: President, Rae Anderson; Vice-President, James Smith; Secretary, Carl Engstrom; Treasurer, Herbert Philbrick; Marshal, George Tier- ney; Assistant Marshal, Arthur Green. For the second term officers were: Presi- dent, James Smith; Vice-President, Carl Engstrom; Secretary, Francis Sherman; Treasurer, Herbert Philbrick; Marshal, Robert Cammon; Assistant Marshal, Willard Whitcomb. The society owes Mr. Donahue, the moderator, a debt of gratitude for his increas- ing efforts in its behalf. The success of the society is due directly to his inspirational leadership. Francis Sherman, Secretary. One hundred twenty-nine EDMUND BURKE ORATORICAL SOCIETY The Edmund Burke Oratorical Society is fortunate in having as its director a teacher who has much practical experience in public speaking. Under the direction of Mr. Rooney the club has widened its scope of activities this year to include several other forms of oratory besides debating. Arline Peretsman, Margaret Rogers, Virginia McCarty, and Marjorie Smith were chosen as the debating team at tryouts held early in the year. This team won the an- nual debate with the Girls’ Latin School of Boston. They had the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, that the United States should recognize Soviet Russia.” The officers of the club during the year have been: President, Arline Peretsman; Vice-President, Margaret Rogers, and Secretary, Annette Jervis. One hundred thirty BANK TREASURERS HIGH SCHOOL BANK During the past year we have passed through a most trying period due to gen- eral conditions. The School Savings Bank, although it was necessary to make some changes in routine to meet conditions, has succeeded in carrying on its work and thereby making it possible for its depositors to retain their faith and confidence in estab- lished organizations. The Bank is engaged in furthering an important phase of the general training which is needed in the preparation for good citizenship. The development of the habit of thrift should receive even more attention today than ever before. We need more preparedness and a greater sense of responsibility. It is therefore gratifying to note the splendid co-operation which teachers and pupils gave to the Bank in order that its work might proceed. The number of those who enjoyed the privilege of working in the Bank was larger this year than formerly. In this way more pupils have benefited by the practi- cal experience gained through the bank work which has been found to be of much assistance to the workers regardless of the particular line of work they may pursue after graduation. The record of those who have continued their regular weekly deposits or have made deposits whenever it was possible for them to do so, shows a commendable spirit. The principle of thrift, of saving something whenever possible, has been carried on and it is this idea which is fundamental and which will bring untold benefits to the individuals who possess it.

C. Fresh- men, and evenly matched at Beverly, the team not only won each meet, but most decisively. The stars of Somerville High’s Team include Captain “Pete” Delli Colli, George Ar- beene, “Bert” Gaudet, Paul Fletcher, Henry DiNapoli, “Bobby” Hayes, Harold Senior, “Don” Baird and Edmand Noyes. Everyone did his share to bring Somerville High an undefeated season and a second place in the State Meet. One hundred thirty-five GIRLS’ BASKET BALL BOYS’ BASKET BALL One hundred thirty-six TUMBLING TEAM TUMBLING The S. H. S. Tumbling Team has been working in the Gym on Tuesdays and Thurs- days during the entire year under the supervision of Mr. Moulton. Mat-work, tumbling or acrobatics will harmoniously develop every part of the body more quickly and better than most other forms of physical exercise. These will make one quick, agile, and sure-footed. They require a considerable degree of co-ordination and self-control. In short, no one has greater control of the body than the professional acrobat. Tumbling is a national exercise for boys and young men because it interests and attracts attention from the simple to the most complex movements. The art of tumbling after school life is important as it has taught one how to fall with the minimum of danger to life and limb. Pyramid building cultivates daring and balance in the top men who have to climb, dismount and maintain their unstable footing, and it develops strength and muscular control in the supporting man, giving him that muscular sense by which a man learns to judge weight and the direction of forces. Nothing is better for the promotion of unselfish team work. Although the team has had no chance to perform before the school, the students who frequently visit the gym will testify to the skill of our tumblers. One hundred thirty-seven FOOTBALL In September Coach Dickerman called out the football candidates for his 1931 team. Over 120 men reported for practice, some new, some veterans of the previous year. After a week of practice and scrimmage, the squad was divided into the varsity of forty men and Junior varsity composed of new men, principally Sophomores and Juniors. September 26th the season opened with a victory over the Keith Academy team of Lowell, a warm-up game for the season. It seems, however, there was not sufficient warming up and Waltham surprised every one by downing the Red and Blue, 7—0. On Columbus Day the boys tried to break the old Medford jinx on their home field, but a few costly fumbles on our part and a clever forward pass by Medford gave them the game 7—0 and the jinx still remains unbroken. Somerville, smarting under two defeats, proceeded to defeat Cambridge Latin and Newton High on successive Saturdays. Then another disappointing set-back—Somerville met the strong Boston College High team at Dilboy Field. Somerville was leading 7—6 through the entire game. With one minute to play Boston College High completed a thirty-yard pass, winning the game 12—7. Again spurred on by defeat the team won the next three games, defeating Brook- line, Nashua and Lynn English. We closed the season on Thanksgiving morning fight- ing the strong Rindge outfit to a scoreless tie, winning the Suburban League Cham- pionship for the fourth successive season. One hundred thirty-eight BASEBALL Late in March a large band of Somerville High School athletes assembled at Dil- boy Field to prepare for the 1932 Baseball Season. And within a fortnight Coaches Dickerman and St. Angelo had chosen and whipped into shape a squad of nine excel- lent baseball players to represent our school on the diamond. Fortunately there were a number of veterans available for the varsity, and these experienced baseballers coupled with the new rookies to form a fast, agressive combi- nation. Leading the nine are Captain Billy Chesterfield, the All-Scholastic centre fielder, together with Danny Lynch, the pitching ace of the team. Others in the line-up are: Joe Davis, Tommy Palumbo, Landini, Donoghue and Rappoli, all alert infielders, and Buckley and Rogan, outfielders extraordinary. On Patriots’ Day, against General Electric our suburban club thrilled the spectators with an exciting contest, which terminated in a spectacular batting rally in an extra inning. Against our traditional rival, Medford, our nine athletic classmates were victorious in a fine baseball exhibition. And now, at present writing, the varsity team continues to play in fine manner, winning many games and much glory for Somerville High School.

At such times both high school and college grad- uates are face to face with the same difficulty — that of persuading employ- ers that they possess qualifications which may be developed into valuable business assets. Should you choose to enter Business as your vocation, it would be well for you to take an inventory of your as- sets, and consider whether or not you can offer an employer anything that he would be willing to purchase. Assuming that in addition to your education you are possessed of such valuable assets as good personality, in- itiative, willingness to work, etc., have you that which in the eyes of the em- ployer is absolutely essential — a satis- factory knowledge of the fundamentals of business practice, without which your other qualifications are of little value in the modern business office ? Lack- ing such training it is almost impos- sible to secure admission to a business office; much less to meet successfully the severe competition of those who with less cultural education yet are pos- sessed of a practical knowledge of busi- ness fundamentals. Young men and young women who may be interested in training for suc- cessful careers in business will find it. to their advantage to write to Principal L. O. White, Bryant Stratton Com- mercial School, 334 Boylston Street. Boston, for information regarding Busi- ness Administration or Secretarial Courses.
