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.
