S31 1 51-5% t IN ONE PIECE AGAIN Marjorie Howe ’58 At last the day arrived! On September 5, 1957, Somerville High School Students were back to school on a normal time schedule. Seniors, juniors and sophomores again at- tended classes in one school session, from 8:30 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. All are impressed with the new-looking Central Building, routed by two successive fires of a year ago and now renovated and equipped with modern facilities. The main office is now relocated on the first floor, to the right of the main entrance, while the office of the heads of courses is to the left of the main entrance in what used to be room 115. The school bank is back in its old quarters on the first floor, in room 104. A Radiator or Editorial Room has been established in room 107B, opposite the office. The auditorium is now completed and ready for use. The third floor music room is nicely fur- nished and has a Hi-Fi tape recording set and record player in an adjoining room. The chemistry and physics laboratories, although not yet fully equipped, are modernized and have AC-DC current control panels. The newly furnished school library, lo- cated on the second floor, has fluorescent lighting, along with the other rooms of the Central Building. The fully equipped emer- gency and health rooms are also on the second floor. The mechanical drawing rooms and the manual training rooms, in the basement of the new Central Building, are completely re- decorated and were in use all of last year. New quarters and furnishings had also been provided last year for the art rooms. They are located on the first floor, in the East Building. The Somerville High School office practice department now has the best equipment of any high school in the state. An inter-communication system has been installed in both the Central Building and the East and West wings. The office can di- rectly address any number of rooms at once. Special music or exercises in the music room, auditorium, or gymnasium may be broadcast throughout the whole school. Now that Somerville High School is opera- ting under normal conditions again we pu- pils should take advantage of the many mod- ern facilities available to us. Indeed, we should profit from our greatly improved school! Three DEC 9 '58

BOSTON SCHOOL EDITORS INTERVIEW YOUNG ACTRESS “Here she is,” whispered the 450 delighted high school editors seated in the main ball- room of the Sheraton Plaza Hotel, on the afternoon of November first. Well might they be delighted, for the principal speaker of the first Boston Globe Party of the year was to be Miss Susan Strasberg, an attractive 19-year-old actress who is appearing with Richard Burton and Helen Hayes in the play, “Time Remem- bered.” Robert Ahern, promotion director of the Globe, opened the meeting and introduced Globe music and drama critic, Cyrus Durgin. Presenting Miss Strasberg to the teen-age audience, Mr. Durgin announced her as the future “first lady of the theatre.” Susan first received public recognition by acting in the Broadway production of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Her first movie performance was in “The Cobweb.” When she was 16 years old, she played the younger sister in “Picnic.” She has appeared on television, in- cluding a performance of “Romeo and Juliet.” Mr. Durgin was moderator, as Susan an- swered many questions from her eager audi- ence. When asked about her rise on Broadway, Susan replied that she had never actually studied for the theatre. In fact, she had been attending the School of Art and Music in New York, to become a commercial artfet. One of her friends, however, persuaded Susan’s parents to let her take a small part in a play. Her parents thought this would discourage Susan! There are many colleges and schools for stage-struck young people, she told the in- terested group. One such school. The Actors’ Studio in New York, requires an audition (no fees) for admission. Most young actors and actresses she has met, have attended college. Susan prefers to act for live audiences. If she makes a mistake one night, she can correct it the next. She never gets bored playing the same role on stage, for she must always concentrate on acting well. She ad- mitted that she does get nervous on stage. Susan declared that she would like to co- star in a play with Marlon Brando. (The young ladies in the audience seemed to ap- prove.) She enjoys acting for the movies more than she does for television. “You get to know the people you’re working with better,” claims Susan. Live television, however, is “painless, it’s so fast,” she reflected. Next year, Susan wants to study for the stage. She doesn’t know yet with whom. At present she’s observing at the Actor’s Theatre. Susan’s latest film, not yet released, is “Stage Struck.” After the interview, good-natured Susan was encountered by several eager autograph seekers. As she left the room with Mr. Durgin, refreshments were served to the students. Everyone had much to chat about, for they had just met a most captivating young star, Miss Susan Strasberg! CAN WE WIPE OUT TB IN SOMERVILLE? Louise Price ’58 The story of TB in Somerville is now one of greater hope than ever before. It is a story of many medical and scientific achievements but also one of great obstacles yet to be overcome. It is this dread disease—tubercu- losis—that is tearing the hearts out of so many American families, incapacitating so many people, and striking down our citizens. Do you wonder, then, that doctors and scien- tists are working ceaselessly to discover a cure? Is it so strangs that they are con- tinually urging us to do our part in curbing the spread of this disease? Tuberculosis can strike anyone; it can kill at all ages. Spreading from person to person, it is a contagious disease caused by a germ called the “tubercle bacillus.” It is usually strikes one of the most vital organs in our body—the lungs. TB is not inherited. It is picked up only from someone who has it by breathing air with TB germs in it, or carry- ing germs into the mouth on fingers, food, or eating utensils. Four
