oLiit op d dwards ,J}une, 1933 The list below shows the many awards offered at graduation to Somerville High School students who have qualified for them by their scholastic, athletic and extra-cur- ricular records. It is printed to serve several purposes. To the graduated award-winners, it serves as a recognition of their achievements. To the sophomores and juniors, it should serve as a stimulus because the three year record of students is taken into consideration when awards are made. To the seniors, it should serve as a reminder that these, and many others are offered to those who avail themselves of the opportunity. SCHOL Harriet M. Hell Scholarships: (Given by S. H. S.

TURKEY DAY Patricia Riordan ’56 There’s a fragrance in the kitchen On Thanksgiving Day, And hot pies on the table Will steal your heart away. When the football game is over And the kids have howeward run, You know it’s turkey they're after — Mince pies, company, and fun. With the Turkey on the table, Beaming faces all around — Then Mom puts on the potatoes, And gravy, golden brown. The delicious meal is over. Now the dishes must be done, And who will do these dishes? Why! No one else but Mum! But when the day is over Silence reigns supreme — so dear! Mom sits and thinks how glad she is Thanksgiving comes but once a year. AFTERTHOUGHTS Antoinette Romano ’56 Students who think of Thanksgiving dinner From which they will arise no thinner, Usually think of hot mince pie. But if at times they heave a sigh While eating the turkey and the pie, You can be sure the reason why Is the reflection sad, but true, There’ll be dishes to wash when they are through.. A TEACHER’S TEST Mary Gosbee ’55 (Apologies to Walter de la Mare) Slowly, silently, now she looks Upon the small print in the books. This way and that, she peers to see, Questions strange to you and me; They come to her now, one by one, Finally her question sheet is done. We slouch in our seats in great dismay At the thought of the test she will give today; From out of the air the questions come, By then we arc feeling very dumb; What little we know has lift our minds, And the questions look like foreign signs; The bell rings, which will end our day, And also our dreams of getting A”. LITTLE BOY LOST (Continued from page 8) He had large eyes and scrawny arms and legs. He spoke nothing but German. Soon the company became attached to him or should I say he became attached to us. He followed us all the way to Strasbourg. Poor kid — he would try so hard to keep up with us, but soon the Captain broke down and put him in the Jeep. Come to find out, his background was about the same as many other little chil- dren of that country — family killed, house burned, no food, lonely. We thought we could find a home for him in Strasbourg. Reaching the city we had mail call. There was a long letter from Ann. As I was opening the letter a chill came over me, but it must have been the late afternoon wind. Ann was trying to tell me something and I felt it. It was about Johnny—something had happened. I didn’t want to read on, but I had to. Oh, no! Johnny — Johnny was dead. He had been hit by an automobile. Even though I never cry, I felt tears run- ning from my eyes. When I looked up, I saw a boy, blond, hazel eyes — Johnny! I blinked. No, not Johnny, just a little German boy picked up along the roadside. A boy with no parents, standing in front of me. He looked so sympathetic. I looked away. During the night I kept tossing and turn- ing on my cot. In my mind, all I could see was Ann weeping, and Johnny, and the little German. Next day after a long night, I went to the Chaplain. We talked over my troubles. . . . Soon we were marching again to the sea- port, only this time another soldier had been added to our outfit — the little German boy, Johann. Yes, he was coming home with me. I know Johnny wouldn’t have wanted all those fish- ing and hunting trips, circuses, and rodeos to go to waste, now would he ? Eleven

The members of the Camera Club are learn- ing what to see in a picture, and the arrange- ment of subjects, which all enter into the taking of a good photograph. They have taken trips to the Boston Camera Club, have visited several studios, and have arranged for a professional photographer and model to visit the club. Cortez Peters, the world’s champion typist, astounded the students at an assembly on October 14 by demonstrating his remarkable ability on the typewriter. He executed sev- eral rhythm drills and concluded by typing to music. Mr. Peters has typed 140 words per minute for one hour with a maximum of five mistakes. He declares that the secret of his success is practice, good technique, practice, concentration, and practice.
